Development Review Committee

The Development Review Committee (DRC) is established pursuant to Section 138-64, Pinellas County Land Development Code (LDC), to review and analyze certain development proposals in order to assist the applicant and ensure compliance with the LDC and the Comprehensive Plan. The DRC is established to provide a more collaborative technical review and analysis of site plans, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4 reviews while providing public visibility to land development projects. The DRC is also established to provide information and analysis to applicants, higher review authorities, and boards.

The DRC is made up of County staff representing technical knowledge in the following: land use planning/urban design, civil engineering/floodplain management, utilities, roadways and transportation, environmental management/biology, public safety, economic development, and other subject areas as determined by the BDRS Director.

The purpose of the DRC is to allow the project applicant and/or interested members of the public the opportunity to review the project related materials, and technical review comments from county staff.
