An ordinance amending Section 15.64.131 of the Metropolitan Code of Laws to permit landscape architects to prepare and stamp plans for Tier I and Tier II residential infill development.

This ordinance amends Section 15.64.131 of the Metropolitan Code of Laws to expand the professional qualifications allowed to prepare and stamp plans for Tier I and Tier II residential infill development. Previously, only licensed land surveyors or professional engineers could stamp these plans. The amendment, sponsored by Council Member Quin Evans Segall, now permits licensed landscape architects to also prepare and stamp these plans, recognizing their completed coursework in areas like hydrology and hydraulics. This change is intended to streamline the development process for these project tiers.

This change may expedite the approval process for certain residential infill developments by allowing more professionals to stamp plans, potentially leading to quicker construction starts or renovations in affected neighborhoods.
