80WESTERNSTATES TAKEUP PERMITREFORMNAIOP members know that the procurementof a local permit is a fundamental andessential part of commercial real estatedevelopment in providing communities withproperties for people to live, work and play.However, local permitting processes vary andtoo often become unnecessarily delayed.These variations and delays lead touncertainties that affect the development’scompletion, the financing structure, theretention of contractors, resources andequipment, and, ultimately, the cost for theowner, tenant and end-user.Because of this, NAIOP chapters across theU.S. are using Georgia’s legislation as atemplate in advocating for reforms that bringpredictability, consistency and transparencyto the local permitting processes within theirrespective states. Key features of the state’sreforms include:All local jurisdictions must publish thetime frame for review, and therequirements for a permitting applicationto be deemed complete;The fee charged for the permit must berelated to the cost of approving a permitand not a revenue source for othergovernment services and programs;Jurisdictions must notify an applicantwithin five days of submitting anapplication if it is deemed complete, andthen make a decision within 30 days;CONTINUE READING >NAIOP EVENTCALENDARMARCH - APRIL 2024Copyright: Canva ProTHURSDAY APRIL 4TH7:30 AM - 9:00 AM: RRRT – MAYOR(S) ROUNDTABLE - CLICK HEREBUILTENVIRONMENTTHURSDAY MARCH 28TH5:30 PM - 7:30 PM: DEVELOPING LEADERS HAPPY HOUR – FLOCKOF MOONS - CLICK HERE

Humphreys Street.That site is in a neighborhood of well-established older residences and is currentlythe home to a former Catholic school whichwould be demolished to make way for the newbuildings.One part of the site, under the auspices of theCatholic Charities program, will see thebuilding of around 65 units. The second half,belonging to the Foundation, will have a total of70 units.Plans for the project were first presented to theFlagstaff City Council in 2021. It was thenanticipated that work could launch sometime inthe summer of 2022. A lack of funding,however, forestalled that timeline.Now an official with the Catholic Charitiesprogram has announced that that elusivefunding may at last be within reach: "We'refeeling pretty good about where we are," SteveCapobres, executive director with theCharities' Housing for Hope, remarked to theArizona Daily Sun.The earlier released plans for the twin projectsenvisioned two separate structures with fourfloors each, a variety of unit sizes, and buildingsbearing a modern architectural design.

Notes an essay published earlier thismonth by the National Conference of StateLegislatures: "The federal plans direct states tooptimize the use of existing controls in powerplants, install commonly used controls inpower plants and other smaller sources ofozone, and use an emissions trading system."A report released in January by theCongressional Research Service notes thatlitigants have complained that the GoodNeighbor Plan would impose complianceburdens while "destabilizing electricitygeneration and power grids, interruptingnatural gas supplies, and impeding statesovereignty." Thus far, Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia havegone to court, asking for an emergency stay ofthe Good Neighbor Plan. As it now stands short of a higher court ruling,the EPA is reqiring that all of the states inquestion must be in compliance with the planby no later than May 1, 2026.

Referencing his years as a mayor,O’Malley remarked: “I learned there is noDemocrat or Republican way to fill a pothole.”BUILTENVIRONMENT
