§ 6.04.5010. Pre-application conference.  


Latest version.
  • A prospective applicant is encouraged to request a pre-application conference with the department prior to submittal of a single land use permit application. This conference is required for development projects involving multiple permit applications.

    This conference should take place prior to any substantial investment (i.e., land acquisition, site, engineering and construction plans, etc.) in the preparation of the proposed development project application. During the conference, the department representative(s) shall inform the applicant of applicable general plan policies, plans, and requirements as they apply to the proposed development project, review the appropriate procedures outlined in this ordinance, and examine possible alternatives or modifications relating to the proposed project. Preliminary evaluation of environmental issues shall be addressed and potential technical studies relating to future environmental review should be identified.

    Neither pre-application review nor the provision of available information and/or pertinent policies shall be construed as a recommendation for approval/disapproval by the department representative(s). A fee may be imposed for the pre-application conference in compliance with the city's "Schedule of Fees".
