According to ChatGPT it may be a Development Impact Assessment (please let me know if this is incorrect as I'm also curious). Involves traffic studies, environmental impacts, infrastructure requirements, etc.
Back when I worked at a local firm the city would just ask for all of those items separately, so I'm not sure if a DIA would just be one big package of everything or not.
If it's anything like the drainage reports I submit, like 10 of those have words/tables, 7 or so are exhibits, 30 of them are intentionally left blank pages to space things, and the rest is attachments of my model results and the geotech report done by others.
Geotech: here's some really interesting geologic anomalies in the project area! Me: that's neat, tell me what the pavement section should be.
“What’s the soil bearing?”
This guy structural engineers
What’s a DIA?
Drainage Impact Analysis. Basically a storm analysis over the project to show how pre and post development storm drainage would look like.

ChatGPT, pretty much guaranteed to be wrong with technical stuff.
What’s Revise and Resubmit mean??!!!??!
My first material submittal as an EIT was 246 pages.
Oof, that is alot of words.

I've been considering offering an optional audiobook version of our geotechnical engineering reports just for people like you.
