Any property owner, developer, real estate professional, or prospective purchaser (the requesting party) may schedule one meeting with the city’s planning consultant relating to general background as to land use matters for a particular parcel of property within the corporate limits of the city or its environs (the initial consultation). The meeting will be scheduled at the reasonable convenience of the city’s planning consultant. Based on preliminary information determined by the planning consultant at the time the meeting is scheduled, the planning consultant may request that members of city staff, the city consulting engineer, or the City Attorney attend the meeting. The city will only permit one initial consultation per requesting party or for a particular parcel of real property within a calendar year unless multiple unaffiliated parties request an initial consultation for a particular parcel of property. The length of the initial consultation shall not exceed 1–1/2 hours. The city will not seek reimbursement from the requesting party for city staff and city consultant expenses incurred by the city for the initial consultation.
