Effective July 6, 2015,  the Department of City Planning will be implementing its new Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Program (MViP) which includes new fees and changes to the submittal and clearance process for Conditional Use Permits  related to Alcoholic Beverages and Entertainment (CUBs & CUxs).

The primary function of the Program will be to ensure compliance prior to the beginning of operations, and to proactively monitor utilization, Plan Approval and expiration deadlines of these grants. This new Program will add a pro-active inspection component to ensure compliance after operations at a restaurant, bar, nightclub or similar establishment begin.  The Program also adds a Pre-Application and a Planning Field Verification function.  Please refer to the attached flyer and FAQs.

Pre-application

Prior to any application submittal, CCU Staff will review pertinent application material and investigate property records to avoid red flags, or holds during, or at the end of the process during the clearance/effectuation phase. You will not be required to submit past cases, permits, Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) or Orders on the property with your final application package. Staff will ensure that all aspects of the application package are completed correctly and that the plans submitted correctly depict site conditions, and the proposed Project in order to facilitate processing, completion and eventually effecuation of the case.
