Project Planning |
The Project Planning Sections are
responsible for preparing and/or revising Master Drainage
Plans (MDPs) and Area Drainage Plans (ADPs), conducting
project feasibility studies, and preparing project costs for
the District Budget/CIP. Planning is also tasked with
preparing the Water Quality Manual and updates, reviewing
District interest cases and special hydrology studies, and
handling public requests for information.

Development Review |
The Development Review Section reviews
both subdivision and land use cases in unincorporated areas
within the District's boundaries. These cases are sent to
the District for review by the County Planning Department.
The District case reviewers then recommend conditions of
approval for these projects to the County Planning
Commission and Board of Supervisors. A normal review
consists of a flood hazard report and conditions
specifically geared to the project for flood protection,
facility construction and Area Drainage Plan fees. The
District also reviews Water Quality Management Plans for
developments in the unincorporated parts of the county
including in the Coachella Valley.
Development cases within incorporated
areas are given only a cursory review that concentrates on
District Master Drainage Plan facilities and Area Drainage
Plan fees. County Fast Track cases are given priority and
the turnaround time for their review is generally less than
one week. All other cases are reviewed on a first come,
first served basis.

Plan Check |
Plans are checked on a fee for service
basis. The District draws expenses from a deposit made by
the developer and refunds the remainder in full within 45
days of the District's plan approval. Plans to be checked
should be delivered to the District with a check or money
order, a completed Plan Check Application, a Submittal
Requirement form, and a Deposit Based Fee worksheet. The
submittal must be complete for the plans to be scheduled for
checking.

Administrative Services |
The Administrative Services prepares
cooperative agreements that involve the District and/or a
combination of other entities, such as developers, the
County, and Cities. In addition, this section also prepares
Consulting/Professional Services Agreements between the
District and outside firms.
Developers may be required, through the
conditions of approval for their development, to construct
flood control facilities. If the developer desires the
District to take over operations and maintenance of the
drainage facilities, the developer needs an agreement prior
to starting construction.
In addition to cooperative agreements,
this section also prepares Consulting/Professional Services
Agreements between the District and outside firms. |
