Contact the Regulatory Improvement project by emailRegulatory ImprovementRegulatory Improvement is a process that seeks to continuously improve the City's development code regulations and procedures, lower costs, and enhance customer service. Regulatory Improvement activities are organized into annual workplans approved by the Planning Commission and managed by the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability.
Current Work identifies issues the Regulatory Improvement team is working on right now. This list includes minor policy changes and technical amendments. Items on this list will be considered by the Planning Commission and City Council as part of the next Regulatory Improvement Code Amendment Package (RICAP).
Future Work identifies issues under consideration to be part of the next RICAP, as well as a list of larger code improvement ideas that have not yet been evaluated.

The program has not been eliminated, but there will not be a new RICAP until program funding is restored. In the meantime, we are still taking suggestions for future work through the RIR Database. RICAP 5 will be completed as planned. Other projects that improve the regulations and procedures of the City, such as the River Plan and the Citywide Tree Project, will also continue.
