Interdepartmental Project Review Meeting

Interdepartmental Project Reviews are mandatory for new construction projects that propose buildings eight (8) stories or more and new construction on parcels identified by the State of California Department of Conservation, Division of Mines and Geology as Seismic Hazard Zones in the City and County of San Francisco. Projects identified as such, must request and participate in an interdepartmental project review prior to any application that requires a public hearing before the Planning Commission or new construction building permit.

Project Sponsors may elect to request an interdepartmental review for any project at any time, however, it is strongly recommended that the request is made prior to the submittal of the above referenced applications.

The Planning Department acts as the lead agency in collaboration with the Department of Building Inspection (DBI); San Francisco Public Works; and the San Francisco Fire Department (SFFD). A representative from each of these City Agencies will attend your meeting.

For questions related to the Project Review process, please contact the Project Review Meeting Coordinator at cpc.prv@sfgov.org.
