Streamline Approvals for Low-Greenhouse-Gas Development Projects (TLU Action 2.C.1.b)

Adopt new policies to streamline permit review processes, apply alternative requirements, or otherwise reduce barriers for development projects in existing community centers with low-greenhouse-gas footprints. Conduct a broad evaluation of state permit processes and requirements to identify barriers that now deter development from locating in low-greenhouse-gas impact areas – including existing downtowns and community centers – and develop practical solutions to removing such barriers. Encourage municipalities to adopt similar strategies in their development ordinances and permit processes.
