Initial Project Review Clause Samples
The Initial Project Review clause establishes a formal process for evaluating the project's scope, objectives, and requirements at the outset. Typically, this involves a meeting or documentation review between the parties to confirm mutual understanding of deliverables, timelines, and key milestones before substantive work begins. By ensuring both parties are aligned from the start, this clause helps prevent misunderstandings and disputes later in the project, promoting clarity and setting a solid foundation for successful project execution.
Initial Project Review. All Projects submitted to the Program shall be subject to the review process as detailed in the Contractor Resource Manual. With the exception of EmPower Electric Reduction (direct install) projects, it is strongly recommended that work not start on any project until the Participating Contractor has been notified that the submitted work scope has complied with Program requirements. This policy also applies to any field change order(s) submitted to the Program. Projects started without Program approval must be submitted to the Program no later than 14 days after the start of work. Program incentives will be calculated based upon the project submission date, not the date that work began on the project. Certain energy efficiency measures, including but not limited to windows and doors, may be subject to review by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and may require a SHPO form to be submitted and approved prior to commencement of work on these measures. See Contractor Resource Manual for further details. Any project that has been partially or fully completed prior to Project review and approval is at the Participating Contractor’s risk. In these cases, the Participating Contractor shall assume all financial liabilities associated with these projects (i.e., Contractor incentives and Program participant financing, as well as the value of the Program participant incentive and/or contractor incentive).
Initial Project Review. Screening Projects under Attachment 3 of the PA
Initial Project Review. In March 2007, the Napa County Board of Supervisors (the “Board”) received an initial application from Landowner for a General Plan amendment related to development of the Property. Following a series of City-County “study group” meetings in 2007-2008 to analyze water supply, traffic, and fiscal impacts, Landowner amended its application and the County initiated the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (the “Draft EIR”) in January 2009.
Initial Project Review. Lender’s Inspector shall have performed an Initial Project Review for construction of the MOB and Borrower shall have satisfied all requirements reasonably made by Lender’s Inspector as a result of such review.

D.2. County Housing Element. On June 23, 2009 (Resolution No. 09-88), the Board certified the County’s Housing Element Environmental Impact Report and adopted a General Plan amendment updating the Housing Element which identified the Property as a location for multifamily housing and contained the program to, among other things, rezone 20 acres of the Property to allow housing development at a minimum density of 20 dwelling units per acre (Housing Element Program H-4e). The Housing Element identified Program H-4e as 945 residential dwelling units with a state-required density bonus), up to 50,000 square feet of enclosed non-residential uses, one hotel with up to 150 suites and associated uses such as meeting space and spa, and a continuing care retirement and assisted living facility for seniors with up to 150 units (containing up to 225 beds). On the Eastern Parcel, outside of the Study Area, the GPA allows up to 319,000 gross square feet (“gsf”) of enclosed non-residential uses, including approximately 154,000 gsf of Membership Warehouse Store, 90,000 gsf of office use and 75,000 gsf of warehouse and R&D uses. As specified in Policy AG/LU-52 of the General Plan, the “Study Area” designation allows industrial uses to continue pursuant to existing zoning, but signals the need for further site- or area-specific planning to assess the potential for a mix of uses within the Study Area.
Initial Project Review. Prior to closing of the construction financing for the Project, the Advisor will perform a detailed construction cost review for the Project (an "Initial Project Review") which will include the scope of work, including the size of the Project, the unit size, unit mix and density of the Project, and the type of building, amenity package and parking spaces and will render an opinion regarding:
(1) overall quality of the construction plans and specifications and an opinion as to whether the plans are sufficiently detailed for construction and conform to federal and state laws and codes applicable to the Project, including but not limited to building, health, fire, safety and handicapped access codes;
(2) whether the level and quality of the construction/rehabilitation as detailed in the plans and specifications is adequate to maintain the use of the Project as affordable rental housing over the term of the Permanent Lender’s loan;
(3) the general adequacy of the proposed construction documents and the level of quality of the specified materials, equipment, building components and systems;
(4) availability of sewer, water, electric, telephone and gas utilities to the Project as represented by the Borrower, the Project architect or the Project surveyor;
(5) review of all permits provided by the Borrower;
(6) general compliance of the plans and specifications with the recommendations set forth in the geotechnical and structural reports, if any; and
(7) general adequacy of the construction contract in its entirety, including all qualifications, assumptions and exhibits. Additionally, the Advisor will include with the analysis any additional comments or explanations that would reasonably be deemed relevant to the Initial Project Review.

The Housing Element identified Program H-4e as the likely first phase of a larger development, and required the County to rezone at least 20 acres of the Napa Pipe property, allowing at least 304 units (202 of them by right) to fulfill its Housing Element commitment.
