Approval Process for Alteration to Existing Development

The following flow chart provides a simplified process for changes to existing developments, buildings, or spaces.

1. Project Review / Lease Adjustment – Tenants, working with RAA Planning & Development, review the proposed project to confirm it meets the current Development Regulations and permitted uses as stated in the tenant’s lease. If the use proposed is not a permitted used in the Tenant’s lease, an adjustment to the tenant’s lease potentially can be considered or renegotiated.
2. Design Approval / Development Permit – Tenants submit required information to RAA Planning & Development for approval of the proposed alteration of the development
3. Facility Alteration Permit – Tenants are required to fill out a Facility Alteration Permit. After review, Building Permit(s) may also be required, dependent on the project.
4. Building Permit – Tenants submit design drawings sealed by the responsible professional. Building permit(s) are issued by RAA, upon review and recommendation of a third-party building code inspector.
5. Occupancy Permit – An occupancy permit is issued by RAA upon acceptable completion of a development when the work is completed and suitable for occupancy.
