The Development Assistance Center (DAC) serves as the initial interface between the community and the department. Members of the community can come to the Development Assistance Center (DAC) (located on the first floor of One Texas Center, 505 Barton Springs Rd) with questions and receive consulting information. Information distributed by DAC staff serves as the foundation for both the customer preparing their land development application and the City staff conducting the site review and inspection. In addition to initial project consultation, DAC staff performs research, sells applicable development maps, performs reviews of a limited array of project types, determines and grants site plan exemptions, and supervises corrections to plans as needed.
