Registered Community Groups
Description
Registered Community Groups for the Department of City Planning --- From [https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/registered-community-organizations](https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/registered-community-organizations): "**What is a Registered Community Organization (RCO)?** Registered Community Organizations (RCOs) are nonprofit community organizations, or a collaboration of community organizations, that are registered with the Department of City Planning and act as key stakeholders for a specific geographic area. RCO's must meet a specific set of standards [to] be registered through the City. Each RCO is also required to renew their status by submitting a recertification every two (2) years. The City of Pittsburgh adopted the Registered Community Organization (RCO) ordinance in September 2018. **What do RCOs do?** RCOs play a vital role in the development projects and neighborhood planning process within their geographic area. RCO's are guaranteed a public meeting with a developer or applicant prior to a public hearing for any new development, also known as a Development Activities Meeting (DAM). If an RCO does not exist in a neighborhood, developers are still encouraged to engage with community members but a formal meeting is not required. DAMs are open to the public and intended as spaces for the wider community to ask questions and share feedback with the developer." --- This data is obtained from the [City of Pittsburgh's GIS Portal](https://pghgishub-pittsburghpa.opendata.arcgis.com/) on a weekly basis.
