As promptly as possible after the filing of a site development plan, but not later than 15 days prior to the Comment Review Committee meeting if required by subsection (b), the Office of Planning and Zoning shall provide to the developer, the developer's representatives and all reviewing agencies, a written report of the findings, comments, and recommendations of the County through its reviewing agencies, and if applicable a notice of the date, time and location of the Comment Review Committee meeting. The site development plan report shall attempt to resolve inconsistencies or conflicts among the agency comments. Within 60 days after the date the site development plan report is mailed, the developer shall file a re-submittal that addresses all the findings, comments, and recommendations contained in the report. After the developer files a site development plan re-submittal, the Office of Planning and Zoning shall provide promptly any further findings, comments, and recommendations from the County reviewing agencies, and shall attempt to resolve inconsistencies or conflicts among the agency comments. Within 60 days after the date the report is mailed, the developer shall file a site development plan re-submittal that addresses the findings, comments, and recommendations.

Within 15 days of the meeting, the Office of Planning and Zoning shall confirm in writing to the developer and the developer's designated representatives a summary of the meeting including any recommendations, requirements for approval, or other unresolved matters to be addressed before approval may be granted.
