In order to ensure that all applicants are informed of the requirements and minimum standards of this title and the requirements or limitations imposed by other city ordinances or plans, prior to the development of a preliminary plat, all applicants shall present a sketch plan to the city planning division prior to filing a preliminary plat. The planning coordinator will review the proposal with the development committee, city staff, and the planning commission. The sketch plan will be made available for review to the parks and recreation commission, water board, and housing and redevelopment authority for review and comment. The process allows the developer to receive feedback on the plat prior to the expense of preparing a detailed plan on projects that may require substantial revision before formal approval is given.
