Pre-Development Conferences
Pre-Development Conferences are generally scheduled in ½ hour increments and are held twice weekly. Monday conferences are scheduled between 1 – 3 pm and Thursday meetings are held between 9 am – 12 pm.
Predevelopment Conferences with city staff are offered for applicants to learn more about City development policies and procedures and to address site specific issues.
These meetings are meant to be a “discovery” type meeting designed to help developers in their project due diligence. These meetings cannot be serve as a comprehensive questions and answer sessions; rather they are useful in uncovering potential issues, are a good platform to create a common understanding amongst all City Departments, and help to streamline the development process.
Representatives from development related City departments such as Transportation/Public Works, Water, Planning & Development and Fire are present to evaluate the project to aid the developer in their project planning.
