Tentative agenda & schedule
- Development Process Review Updates
The City of Chesapeake has completed the initial phase of the Development Process Review. The purpose of this review was to identify ways to improve timeliness and customer service. We have made multiple internal structural changes, process changes, and a review of various regulations and design criteria. While there remain several initiatives underway, we would like to update those development stakeholders interested in this topic.
We have scheduled an information session on May 20, 2009, from 10 a.m. to Noon at the Chesapeake Central Library located at 298 Cedar Road, Chesapeake, VA 23322.
