The purpose of the pre-application conference is to afford the developer an opportunity to obtain advice and assistance from the Planning Commission staff before making formal application for development plan approval. The developer should consult with potentially interested parties, such as attorneys, engineers, land surveyors, landscape architects, lenders and community planners, in an effort to reach firm conclusions as to the type of market demand to be served, the suitability of the location of the proposed development, and the general arrangement of streets, lots and other features proposed. For Planning Commission purposes, there are only two steps involved at the pre-application conference.
(A) Development plan. The developer should prepare a development plan indicating the boundaries of the tract, streets, lot patterns and other physical information relating to the proposed development.
(B) Office visit. The developer should visit the Planning and Community Development Office to discuss the development plan with the staff. This informal discussion shall not constitute a formal application and will be considered confidential. The developer should also consult with utility companies and other local agencies at this stage.
