Lincoln City-County Planning Department Launches "ePlan"

In the August 2009 City-County Planning Department newsletter, Marvin Krout, Director of Planning, mentions some of the improvements recently instituted to help streamline and reduce costs associated with the planning process. One such improvement is the launching of "ePlan." Planning applications and attached drawings are now being submitted, reviewed, and processed digitally. Historically the applicant had to bring in 30 or more copies of large maps to the Planning office which then had to be mailed out for reviewers to comment on. Applicants now can also use the web to log in and see all correspondence on the applications.

The Mayor's office, City Council and Planning have all recognized the need for change and hopefully this is a step in the right direction.
