| The Division of Development Review analyzes all new development in unincorporated areas of St. Charles County to ensure that site improvements, including grading, erosion control, storm water facilities, and street design comply with the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), design standards, and prudent engineering design practices. The review process is designed to minimize the impact of new development on properties outside of the development area and to ensure that all publicly dedicated facilities meet the county’s standards for public maintenance. Development Review ensures that the UDO, Design Criteria for the Preparation of Improvement Plans, tree preservation, streambank protection, and flood plain encroachment regulations are adhered to when reviewing a proposed development.
The Division of Development Review also oversees the Neighborhood Improvement District (NID) program. The division assists property owners with public improvements within a defined area of the community, established as a NID. Improvements to streets, sewers, sidewalks, lighting, and a number of other community enhancements are accomplished through a cooperative effort between the county and residents within the NID area. The division coordinates improvement efforts and provides engineering, and inspection support to the project. Residents in NID neighborhoods may chose to pay for the improvement in one lump sum or through special assessments financed by county bonds over a period of 10 or 20 years.
