Development Review Committee (DRC) Schedule
The Development Review Committee (DRC) is an interagency task force comprised of representatives from public agencies and utilities such as WSSC, PEPCO, the State Highway Administration, and the county Departments of Permitting Services, Environmental Protection, and Public Works and Transportation.
DRC members discuss the application with planning staff at a regularly scheduled meeting -- not more than three weeks after the application is filed. Each agency providing comments for the DRC meeting do so in writing, and planning staff ensure that those comments are included in the application file, along with a meeting summary and next steps. Planners then prepare recommendations that are presented to the Planning Board as part of the public hearing on the proposed site plan.
DRC meetings are open to the public but are not public hearings.
Upon request, staff will meet with community representatives to discuss relevant issues. To schedule a meeting concerning a site plan, please contact the Development Review Division at 301-495-4595.
