Charleston's Technical Review Committee

Getting through Charleston's TRC

Charleston's Technical Review Committee sends site plans back with comments from every department. We read what it asked of projects like yours, so your resubmittal answers it the first time.

  1. A round-1 letter comes back from the City's TRC on a 2026 office building site plan: one PDF, 27 pages.
  2. We read every page.
  3. We pull out all 127 comments and sort them by what they are about. Stormwater alone has 36.
  4. Each comment keeps the page it came from.
  5. We note the rule each one cites, and the ones that need someone else, like a traffic study or a zoning board.
  6. That is the service: a City expert on your side before you resubmit.

One real City of Charleston TRC round-1 letter (August 2026, 27 pages, 127 comments) on a 2026 office building site plan. Comments are quoted as printed.

Charleston's Technical Review Committee reviews site plans before they are approved. Each round comes back as one letter holding the comments of every reviewer, and the plan goes around again until each one is answered.

We know the City's rules and the committee's record: its letters read page by page, every comment kept with what it is about and the page it came from.

Before you submit for round 2, we check your documents against the City's rules and what TRC asked similar projects, so you have the best shot at skipping round 3.
