(a) PRESUBMISSION. Prior to a formal submission, the applicant should meet in person with the Planning Commission or a representative of the Economic and Community Development Department to discuss the proposed site plan. The intent of such a conference is to enable the applicant to inform the Economic and Community Development Department of the proposal prior to the preparation of a detailed site plan and for said Department to review the basic site design concept, advise the applicant as to potential problems and concerns and to determine generally the type of information to be shown on and submitted with the site plan.
(b) SUBMISSION IN THREE STAGES. A site plan shall be prepared by a registered architect, licensed landscape architect, licensed land surveyor, licensed engineer, or professional planner. The site plan shall be submitted to the Planning Commission for approval. The plan shall be submitted in three stages: sketch plan, preliminary plan, and final plan.
(c) SIMULTANEOUS SUBMISSIONS. Any applicant may submit and seek approval for any or all of the three plan stages simultaneously.
(d) FEES. All submissions for site plan approval shall be accompanied by a fee as established by the City Council to pay for the costs of planning, design, and engineering review. The City Council shall adopt, by resolution, and from time to time may amend, but not more than once annually, a schedule of fees payable by an applicant for applications brought before the Planning Commission for determination or action.
