An applicant for a development project which would require the filing of more than one land use permit application may file all related permits concurrently and pay appropriate fees, as outlined in Chapter 19.32 (Applications and Fees). Processing and environmental review could be concurrent and the final decision on the project shall be made by the highest level of review authority, pursuant to Table 31.01 (Threshold of Review). For example, a project requiring a Variance and Development Permit applications shall be determined by the Commission, while a project requiring a Development Permit, Tentative Tract Map, and General Plan Amendment shall be determined by the Council.

19.31.030 PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE

A prospective applicant or agent may request a pre-application conference with the Department prior to formal submittal of a land use permit application. This conference should take place prior to any substantial investment (i.e., land acquisition, site, engineering and construction plans) in the preparation of the proposed development application. During the conference, the Department representative(s) shall inform the applicant of applicable policies, plans, and requirements as they apply to the proposed development project, review the appropriate procedures outlined in this Development Code, and examine possible alternatives or modifications relating to the proposed project.
