21-6-1: PURPOSE:

This article provides procedures and requirements for the preparation, filing, and processing of development applications required by this chapter. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)

21-6-2: PROCEDURES:

The preparation and filing of applications for land use permits, entitlements, amendments (e.g., General Plan, Zoning Map, and Zoning Ordinance), and other matters pertaining to this chapter shall comply with the following common procedures, unless an exception to the common procedure is expressly identified in subsequent sections of this chapter. Subsequent sections include additional provisions that are unique to each type of application, including City staff and review board assignments and approval criteria. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)

21-6-2.1: PRE-APPLICATION MEETING:

   A.   When Required: A pre-application meeting is held with each applicant to discuss the nature of the proposed application, application submittal requirements, the procedure for action, and the standards for evaluation of the application. A pre- application meeting shall be required for all proposed:

      1.   General Plan amendments;

      2.   Text amendments;

      3.   Zoning Map amendments (rezone);

      4.   Planned area developments;

      5.   Subdivisions;

      6.   Conditional use permits;

      7.   Annexations;

      8.   Site plan review; and

      9.   Variances.

An applicant for a project not requiring a pre-application review may request, in writing to the Zoning Administrator, such review.

   B.   Pre-Application Filing: Before filing any applications described by this article, the applicant shall submit a preliminary description of the proposal, accompanied by a fee specified by the adopted fee schedule, for review and comment by the Zoning Administrator and any other persons the Zoning Administrator deems appropriate. This preliminary description shall include, at minimum, authority to file the application, a site plan and project narrative; both of sufficient scope and detail (existing and proposed) so as to allow a basic review of location, land area, land use, land use density/intensity, traffic generation/parking and adjacent streets, stormwater drainage, utility service, monument signage locations and recent issues/previous case history.

   C.   Pre-Application Meeting: After receipt of a proper preliminary description of the proposal, the Zoning Administrator shall review the proposal and schedule a pre-application meeting. At the meeting, the applicant, the Zoning Administrator or designee, and any other persons the Zoning Administrator deems appropriate to attend, shall discuss the proposed development.

Based upon the information provided by the applicant and the provisions of this chapter, the parties should discuss, in general terms, the proposed development, the applicable submittal requirements and standards of this chapter, and conditions that may be appropriate to meet the purposes and requirements of this chapter.

   D.   Pre-Application Review/Meeting Waivers: The Zoning Administrator may waive the requirement for a pre-application review and meeting based on a determination that no substantial purpose will be served by the review. In such cases, the Zoning Administrator shall prepare a written statement setting forth the reasons for approving the submittal/meeting waiver.

   E.   Pre-Application Completeness Review Meeting: Following the mandatory pre-application meeting, but prior to filing any application described by this article, the applicant may request (in writing) a pre-application completeness review meeting with Community Development staff. Although not required, this meeting is recommended to allow staff the ability to complete a cursory review of the planned submittal material. It will also identify if any required items are missing that may prevent an application from being accepted. This meeting should be scheduled five (5) working days prior to the submittal deadline. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)
