The Plat Review Committee (PRC) provides a coordinated interdepartmental review to confirm that plats submitted for recordation comply with City standards.

Purpose

The purpose of the review process is to streamline review by the Geographic Information System (GIS) Division, Zoning Division and Infrastructure Management Division to consolidate comments for the submitter and to provide the submitter with a known schedule for response. This process in no way modifies any other Zoning or Infrastructure Management Division procedures regarding fees or submittals associated with preliminary plats, site plans, etc.

Plat Request Review

Any plat (final subdivision, adjustment, boundary, etc.) requesting review/recording shall be submitted to the Engineering Coordinator via the CSS Portal to allow City review. The reviews will occur via CSS.   How to apply through CSS Portal

All plats received prior to 5 p.m. each Monday will be placed on the agenda to be reviewed on Friday of that week. Under normal circumstances, comments will be returned via email to the surveyor that same day (Friday) by 5 p.m. 

Resubmitted Plats

For resubmittal, please email the revised plat to the Engineering Coordinator at merrickch@charleston-sc.gov. The re-submitted, revised plat will again be reviewed to confirm that all comments have been addressed and the surveyor will be notified of approval or corrections per the above schedule.

Final Plat

Once the plat has been approved by the Plat Review Committee, six paper copies of the signed, stamped, and sealed final plat should be submitted to Engineering Coordinator at 2 George Street. 

Schedule Conflicts

In the event that the review schedule is affected by City holidays, the staff will address the schedule on a case-by-case basis.
