Fast Track Construction Program
Projects located in the PEP Area shall receive a preferential timeframe for project review as follows:
Site plans shall be submitted to the City of Hagerstown Planning Department. Per the Zoning Administrator’s schedule, the “turnaround” time is expedited. Historic District compliance review will also be expedited.
Prior to building permit applications, a preliminary consultation is recommended with the designer and the City’s building plan reviewer. Building permit applications may be submitted to the City of Hagerstown’s Department of Engineering & Code Administration at the time of site plan submittal. The permit will be routed concurrently with the site plan. Permit comments or approval will be issued promptly. The City will assign a plan reviewer to the project to ensure prompt reviews.
NOTE: There are several qualifiers to achieving these target times:
- The plans submitted by the developer’s engineer and architect must be complete and comply with code requirements. Failure to do this will greatly jeopardize any fast track process.
- It is assumed that the project accesses City streets. If the project accesses State Highway or Washington County roads, the City has no control over the time frame to achieve an access permit from these agencies.
