What is the purpose of the Development Organization?
The Development Organization (D.O.) provides a "one-stop" coordinated process for the review of projects and building plans. This process generally results in the issuance of a building permit.
D.O. consists of staff representatives from Planning, Building, Engineering, and Fire departments. The interdepartmental team reviews each project for compliance with:
Zoning.
The General Plan.
The State Building Code.
The Fire Code (including hazardous materials).
Landscape requirements.
Various elements of the Fremont Municipal Code (including the Subdivision Ordinance and the Street Right-of-way and Improvement Ordinances).
Other established development policies.
When is Development Organization review required?
Review by D.O. is required for all new construction types, except for interior improvements and single-family detached homes not in a Planned District, Planned Unit Development, or the Hill Area.
