A. PID Pre-application with City Staff. The City hereby establishes and appoints a PID review staff (the "PID Review Staff), which shall be composed of the City Manager, Economic Development Director, Finance Director and City Attorney, or successors in function to those City officials. Potential applicants for a PID are required to meet with the PID Review Staff for a pre-application meeting in order for the PID Review Staff to accomplish the following preliminary tasks:
1. Make an initial determination whether the proposed PID is consistent with the City's growth policies, land use and development policies, zoning and other applicable regulation;
2. Make an initial determination whether the PID applicant's ownership interest, delegation of ownership rights or other legal control of the real property proposed to be included in the PID to have standing to submit a PID application;
3. Establish a proposed schedule for application review, including (i) the applicant's submittal of a PID application, (ii) PID Review Staff review of the application for completeness, and (iii) Council meeting for consideration of and action on the application; and
4. Identify any related City approvals or requirements that will be required to permit the PID, if approved by the Council, to construct the proposed improvements.
B. Role of PID Review Staff: The determinations by PID Review Staff shall be of an advisory nature, for the purposes of assisting applicants in submitting completed applications with detail and information required to enable meaningful consideration by the Council. Determinations and recommendations of the PID Review Staff shall be considered by but not be binding on the Council.
C. Invitation To Apply For PID: If the PID Review Staff concludes that an application is consistent with City policies and regulations, including this Chapter, then an invitation to submit an application will be extended to the applicant. If the PID Review Staff determines that the proposed PID is not consistent with City policies and regulations and does not extend an invitation to submit an application, the applicant may appeal that determination to the Council, which will determine whether or not an invitation to apply for a PID will be extended.
