A. Applications for project permit Type I actions involving structures 5,000 square feet or over, and all Type II, Type III, and Type IVA actions and applications for new wireless communication facility permits shall not be accepted by the director unless the applicant has requested and attended a pre-application conference. The purposes of the pre-application conference are to acquaint the applicant with the requirements of this code and project review procedures and for city staff to be acquainted with the proposed application for purposes of determining appropriate review procedures and facilitating the application and project review process. In order to ensure that the pre-application conference is meaningful, the applicant must provide all information requested on the form required by the community development director.

1. A form which lists the requirements for a completed application;
2. A general summary of the procedures and timelines to be used to process the application;
3. The references to the relevant code provisions or development standards which may apply to the approval of the application, as preliminarily identified at the pre-application conference;
4. The city’s design guidelines.
D. It is impossible for the conference to be an exhaustive review of all potential issues. The discussions at the conference or the information sent by the city to the applicant under subsection C of this section shall not bind or prohibit the city’s future application or enforcement of all applicable law.
E. Pre-application conferences for all other types of applications are optional, and requests for conferences will be considered on a time-available basis by the director. (Ord. 2110 § 2 (Exh. B), 2013; Ord. 1815 § 1, 2000; Ord. 1733 § 5, 1998; Ord. 1691 § 1, 1997; Ord. 1628 § 1, 1996).
