No land development activity requiring review and approval under this Division shall be initiated without having first received such review and approval.
Review procedures differ depending upon the type of proposal. Generally, the procedures for all applications have three common elements: (1) submittal of a complete application, including required fee payment along with appropriate information; (2) review of the submittal by appropriate City staff, agencies and boards; and (3) action to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application. Submittal dates and review time periods are established as part of the administrative policies and supplemental procedures of the City, copies of which can be obtained from the zoning administrator.
Table 35-2200.1 summarizes the procedures, agencies and review bodies involved in the non-administrative development review process. Detailed information about the general procedures and applications and the agencies and review bodies involved in the process, and methods of appeal, are further discussed in Sec. 35-2201.
