A.

Preapplication Concept Review: Each applicant who proposes to subdivide land within the territorial limits of the city shall have the opportunity to request a preapplication review meeting with the city planning staff committee before preparing any plats, charts, or plans. The city highly recommends a preapplication concept plan review meeting prior to submitting a Preliminary Subdivision Plat Application. A preapplication concept plan meeting is optional and does not count toward the maximum number of review cycles for subdivision land use applications. Within ten (10) business days after the request, the city planning staff committee shall schedule the meeting to review the concept plan and give initial feedback.

B.

The preapplication meeting is intended to provide and explain the city's subdivision requirements and general plan that apply to the proposed subdivision and to discuss the proposed plan of development of the tract. The city planning staff committee shall provide or make available on the city's website copies of applicable land use regulations; a complete list of standards required for the project; preliminary and final application checklists; and feedback on the concept plan (if there is any feedback).

C.

Preapplication Sketch Submission: If a preapplication meeting is requested by the applicant, the applicant shall submit two (2) copies of conceptual sketches showing the proposed preliminary plat and site plan for review by the city planning staff committee. The provided sketches are expected to show the relationship to proposed traffic arteries, existing arteries, utilities, shopping centers, schools, parks, or other infrastructure or city facilities.

D.

Information Form: The city shall provide a subdivision information form to the applicant to be completed and submitted by the applicant to the planning commission prior to submission of the complete preliminary subdivision plat and site plan.

E.

Preliminary Plat Fee: A fee shall be assessed in the amount as established by resolution of the city council to offset the cost of reviewing and other related work performed by the city and engineering staff associated with the review of the preliminary plat and site plan. The fee amount shall be as provided in the consolidated fee schedule set forth in Title 1, Chapter 12 of this code. No preliminary plat or site plan may be presented to the planning commission or city staff without the payment of the fee.
