(a) Compliance with any development project revisions, alterations, or conditions suggested during the preliminary review process shall be voluntary. Failure to comply with any such revisions, alterations, or conditions shall not affect consideration of the project by the City.
(b) Nothing in these procedures is intended, nor shall any provision be construed, to constitute, permit or result in any binding determination of the rights, interests, or entitlements of the City, project proponent, or any interested person with respect to a development project upon which preliminary review is conducted.
(c) Development project preliminary review shall be without prejudice to the ability of the City, project proponent, or any interested person to proceed with a development project in any manner, notwithstanding any suggested revisions, alterations, or conditions.
(d) When preliminary review has been initiated, a project proponent shall have the right to withdraw a development project application at any time before commencement of a public hearing on the first discretionary permit, license, or entitlement for the project. Such withdrawal shall be without prejudice to the project proponents ability to reapply for the same or a substantially similar development project at a future date, subject to the regulations, standards, and policies in effect upon reapplication. Upon such withdrawal, the City shall refund any application processing deposits to the project proponent which have not yet been expended.
