(A) Applications. To minimize issues related to a permit application, prior to submitting a permit application, registrants are strongly encouraged to engage in a pre- application meeting to discuss the registrant's plans and network goals for placing or maintaining facilities in the public rights-of-way including all city permits or approvals that may be required based on the nature of the registrant's proposed work in the public rights-of-way. A registrant is encouraged to be prepared to discuss its network needs and planned locations, design of facilities and other issues that may arise under this chapter. The city shall undertake efforts to accommodate a registrant's request for a pre- submission meeting within ten business days of a request. A pre-submittal meeting is required for a permit request that involves excavation of over 50 feet of public rights-of-way.
(B) A pre-submittal meeting shall not commence the timeframes provided herein for city review and processing of an application or a request.
