REBIC Members Dominate DSTAC Leadership Team

From REBIC

Another powerhouse of oversight and influence is the DSTAC (Development Services Technical Advisory Committee). This organization’s Co-Chair, appointed by the City’s DSTAC Leadership Team, is our own Karla Knotts. In fact, the membership roster reads as a who’s who in our industry including Mark Van Dine, our recent REBIC Member Spotlight.

The Development Services Technical Advisory Committee (DSTAC) serves an advisory role and provides input on technical and procedural regulatory issues regarding development in Charlotte. This committee serves as a forum for discussing policy and procedural changes or conflicts regarding plan approval, inspection services, and enforcement of land development requirements and provides recommendations, as needed. The committee is led by two co-chairs, and the committee includes representatives from City Departments, Partner Agencies and the Development Industry, including developers, designers, and development associations.

The committee meets monthly, an aggressive schedule, to work through the myriad of issues that must be interpreted and implemented in a manner that benefits our industry as it interprets policy and law. Download and review the charter to become more involved and understand the breadth of your voice of advocacy throughout the region.

Rob’s Take: After taking several months to realign its purpose, the DSTAC is back up and running better than ever. In addition to Karla Knotts serving as Co-Chair and Mark Van Dine participating as the REBIC representative, current REBIC Chair, Michael Foess and Dan Melvin, a recent NAIOP President, also have roles on the committee. Thanks to you all for your continued service to the industry!
