The Design Adjustment Committee (DAC) is a quasi-judicial committee that reviews major deviations from the Technical Standards and Specifications Manual, building design and material standards, and subdivision standards. The committee's intent is to provide relief where the application of a standard creates practical difficulties in allowing development that is otherwise compliant with the Land Development Code. Any relief granted should also support the Comprehensive Plan and other adopted public plans. In granting adjustments, the DAC may apply conditions and safeguards in conformity with the Land Development Code.
