Pre-Application

The purpose of the Pre-Application Review is to allow the customer and staff to exchange information and confirm the necessary application process, required fees, and submittal material prior to the customer paying the actual application fees.  Specifically, during the Pre-Application Review process, staff researches and provides the following information:  

• If the proposed use is allowed based on the zoning of the subject parcel; the type(s) of application(s) required to permit the proposal to be processed.
• If the subject site is a legal parcel (Note: If the parcel is not legally created, no land use/mapping application can be processed until the legality issue is resolved).
• The anticipated level of environmental review.
• If the project site is under the Williamson Act Contract and if the proposed use is permitted under the Contract.
• If the site is located within a special district and if special considerations may be applicable to the project.
• Required application forms, filing fees, and filing requirements/materials.

 The Pre-Application review fee is $262.04.
