§ 12.2.2. Pre-application conference.

A.

A pre-application conference is required for all procedures except the rural land use process. This conference is a meeting between the applicant, a member of the county planning staff and other county staff. The purpose is to discuss the various procedures, standards and submittal requirements of the Code. The applicant will also be provided with the application materials that must be submitted.

B.

The applicant should call the planning department to schedule a meeting with a staff person. For most applications, the applicant should bring a written legal description of the site and a sketch of the proposal to the pre-application conference. If specific questions are raised during the conference, the staff person will refer the applicant to the appropriate agency to discuss issues that may affect the application. The staff person will help the applicant identify key issues and concerns regarding the project so the applicant may address them in the application.

C.

Any comments or commitments made by a staff person during the pre-application conference are preliminary in nature and may change significantly as the project is more clearly defined in later stages of the development review process.
