1. Pre-Application Meeting. A pre-application conference shall be held with planning staff to discuss the proposed development concept, likely development issues, and the requirements of this chapter.

2. Application Submittal/Completeness Review. Upon submittal of an application and payment of the required fees, City staff will review the application to determine if it includes, in form adequate for substantive review, all of the submittal materials required by this chapter. If an application is found to be deficient, City staff will notify the applicant of the deficiency in writing.

3. Staff Review. In every case the application will be reviewed by the DRT and review agencies. The DRT may require that the applicant correct errors or incorporate design changes consistent with applicable codes, design standards, and/or review criteria. Where an application is substantially incomplete or grossly deficient, the staff may notify the applicant in writing that the application will not be subject to further review until such time as the enumerated defects are cured.

4. Planning Commission Review. Preliminary plat or preliminary site plans that have completed staff review will be forwarded to the Planning Commission with a staff recommendation. The Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing to review the application and receive public comment, and it may: (a) approve the application; (b) deny the application; (c) approve the application subject to conditions; or (d) table the application pending receipt of additional information.

5. Final Plat/Final Site Plan Review Procedures. When an applicant is ready to request final site plan or final plat approval a final plat or site plan shall be submitted for review by staff. Staff will review the design documents for completeness and verify that they incorporate changes or conditions required at the preliminary approval stage. Additionally, all related documents and agreements, including a subdivision improvements and phasing agreement, land use restriction agreement, and covenants, conditions and restrictions (if applicable), and final construction drawings shall be reviewed and in final form prior to submittal to the City Council for final approval.
