General Information
This division's primary duty is to monitor site development activity. This is construction work that is paid for by the private sector and includes subdivisions, multifamily, commercial, and industrial development. The Engineering Department works in conjunction with the Planning, Fire, Operations, and Building Departments to verify that development is progressing in accordance with approved plans, conditions of approval, and City standards. When a development is proposed, the Engineering Department verifies the ability of the site to meet code, provide adequate water and sewer, provide clean stormwater, meet transportation requirements, and provide a stable environment. We provide inspection services during construction to help ensure conformance to the standards. The City of Camas has adopted the Design Standard Manual to provide guidance for the development community.
