The City of Raleigh Development Services Department has replaced the face-to-face Due Diligence Session with a new online version. Just like before, this service is free of charge and allows clients to learn what development is and isn’t possible on a specific property. The Due Diligence Online Service (DDOS) will continue to address high level questions and issues related to the development of property. Review staff will comment on site review trades (current planning, urban forestry, stormwater, fire and transportation) only. In other words, information related only to the parcel(s) and any general regulatory items that may be applicable based on project parameters.
How do I submit for a DDOS?
- To submit a DDOS go to the online form and fill out the property data.
- Once staff has completed the DDOS review, each applicant will receive an email containing staff comments, based on a predetermined scope of review.
What do I need to keep in mind when submitting for a DDOS?
- Only contiguous properties are allowed to be submitted, and multiple parcels will be reviewed as a combined assemblage.
- Comments generated during the DDOS are based solely on existing zoning of the property.
- If a formal development application is submitted after a DDOS, and any development details or site information have changed, it is possible that staff comments may be different from those provided during a DDOS.
- Information received should be considered advisory-only, no approvals or permits are issued with a DDOS. If a formal regulatory-based review is desired, please consider one of our other face-to-face services.
