Prior to submitting an application for a development agreement, the applicant should hold preliminary consultations with the planning department. The purpose of these preliminary consultations is to provide the applicant information and guidance before entering into binding commitments or incurring substantial expense in the preparation of plans, surveys or other data. Such preliminary consultations should be relative to the proposed development plan and other material which expresses the relationship between the various land uses and the development concepts to be employed; the density or intensity of development; the types of uses to be permitted and any conditions prerequisite to development, such as required use permits and subdivision maps; the size of buildings proposed for development; the provisions for dedication or reservation of land for public purposes; and the construction timing and estimated costs of needed public improvements.
