The Development Services Committee (DSC) is open to private, public, or nonprofit developers of complicated projects. DSC meetings can review approvals, permits, studies, sequencing, and other project development issues. These projects can be new construction or conversions.

DSC meetings enable developers to present plans to the DSC and:

• Discuss plans with representatives from each agency related to the project.
• Receive feedback on the necessary regulatory approvals.
• Coordinate or clarify issues that may be regulated by more than one department.
• Establish a prioritization schedule for approvals, utility service, and public actions.

To take part, contact developmentservices@phila.gov or (215) 683-4652. Staff will then provide you with a DSC meeting request form.
