B. Formal: Every person proposing a development in the city, including sign permits, with the exception of building permits, shall attend a preapplication meeting unless waived by the City Administrator. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the nature of the proposed development, application and permit requirements, fees, review process and schedule, applicable plans, policies and regulations. In order to expedite development review, the city may invite all affected jurisdictions, agencies and/or special districts to the preapplication meeting.
1. A description of the requirements for a complete application; a general summary of the permit review procedures; references to the relevant code provisions or development standards that may apply to the proposal; and any other relevant information that the city may deem pertinent to the proposal may be provided by the city at the meeting or immediately following the meeting at the request of the applicant.

3. The fee associated with a formal preapplication meeting shall be the fee set forth in the adopted fee schedule. (Ord. 778, 10-30-2003, eff. 11-11-2003; amd. Ord. 887, 9-8-2010; Ord. 2024-1136, 12-11-2024)
