Pre-Application Conference

A Pre-application Conference is required prior to the formal application of many of the policy, subdivision, and development related applications. A Pre-application Conference is a meeting between a potential applicant and staff from the Planning Department. At this meeting the applicant will describe the project being considered and together the City and the applicant will figure out which application is appropriate, which review body is responsible for final actions, and what criteria will be used to determine the final action on the permit.

Application Submittal Requirements

A Pre-application Conference Request form must be filled out and submitted to the City prior to scheduling a Pre-application Conference. This form can be found in the Unified Development Code, Development Manual. This form requires general information regarding the proposed project and contact information for the applicant.

The purpose of the conference is to review the proposed project, identify any issues requiring special attention or revision, and assist the applicant in assembling a complete application. This procedure is intended to streamline the application process and avoid any unnecessary delays caused by submittal of incomplete applications.
