NOTE: The initial steps for new construction in the City of Conway are (1) Conway Planning Department Conceptual Review, (2) Plan Submittal to the Planning Department, and then (3) Technical Review of the Plans. The Technical Review is executed by the “Technical Review Committee” (TRC), which is comprised of representatives from the Conway Planning, Building, Fire, Public Works and Public Utilities Departments. The plans for the development are collected by the Zoning Officer and distributed to the various members of the TRC for review and comment. The TRC meets monthly or as needed to conduct this review and to discuss issues with the submitted plans. The Zoning Officer collects all of the TRC feedback and engages the applicant to manage the revisions. This process continues until the plan receives approvals from all members of the TRC.
