Plan SubmissionSite plans and subdivisions needing to be reviewed by TRC must now be submitted in an electronic format. The City’s Electronic Plan Review system allows the development community to download plans via a Web-based file management system. (Plans that are mid-way through the plan review process will continue using the paper-based system.) 

All plans submitted for review must be in Abode (.pdf) format. The file should contain all required information as outlined on the Design Review Application on sheets depicting the site layout, utilities, grading/erosion control, and landscaping, in addition to the Standard Cover Sheet. The electronic submission should also include any stormwater calculations for the project.

Note: After a plan is downloaded to the site, it will be checked to make sure all required information is included before forwarding to Plan Tracking. If more information is needed, you will be notified and the system will allow you to resubmit the plan using the same process.

The system will not be able to accept the associated review fee for the plans being submitted. Delivery the review fee in person or by mail to:
Department of Planning and Community Development
300 W. Washington St., Greensboro, NC 27402

Plan Retrieval
After the plan is reviewed by staff, their comments will be added to the plan and the Adobe format plan will be downloaded to Electronic Plan Review. You will be notified immediately that you can download the plan. You can use the Electronic Plan Review system to retrieve the plan with the staff comments.

Resubmitting Plans
The Electronic Plan Review system will also allow you to resubmit a revised plan after the City’s review is complete and after all revisions have been made in accordance with staff comments.

If you have any questions about the Electronic Plan Review system, please contact Nicole Ward, Planning Specialist, at 336-373-2144.
