Technical Review Commitee
(Pre-application Conference)

The purpose of the pre-application conference is to assist applicants in preparing their development applications for submittal to the City, to identify potential problems, and to streamline their development review process.  These pre-application conferences are informal and provide an opportunity to meet with the City departments responsible for development review.  City representatives will review the submitted materials, provide comments, and may also identify issues or concerns wherever noted.  It is not meant to be a detailed, all-inclusive review of proposed plans or ideas.
