LAND USE PERMIT SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES Step 1: Submit for a free pre-application meeting. For detailed instructions on how to complete the submission, please refer to the Pre-Application Steps section on the city’s website. All pre-application meeting requests must be submitted online through the permit portal. Additional requirements are outlined in the separate handout titled Pre-Application Submittal Requirements. A project review team will be assigned upon scheduling of the pre-application meeting and be involved in the project through completion. You may access the Submittal Requirements for Individual Applications for more details. Step 2: Work with the assigned Planning Project Manager to schedule a project pre-screen. During this step, the City’s Planning Project Manager will provide an FTP link to upload your draft submittal documents for pre-screening. Any missing items will be identified and/or revisions requested. This process is utilized to ensure that a complete application is submitted at the next step. Step 3: Contact the assigned Planning Project Manager to complete the in-take process. During this step, the City’s Planning Project Manager will provide an FTP link to upload your submittal documents for a final review to ensure that requested revisions or missing items have been updated and/or corrected. If all required submittal items are provided and complete, staff will move forward with the acceptance process and official review. WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR PROJECT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY The Planning Project Manager will process an acceptance letter that deems the application complete, typically within a week from submittal. The accepted application will be routed to City staff and other agencies for review and a notice will be provided to the public for a 14-day public comment period. After the review period has concluded, revisions may be required. Once a thorough administrative review has been completed, a decision, which may also include an environmental determination, is issued by the Administrator and subject to a 14-day open record appeal period to the Hearing Examiner. Type II permits shall generally be issued within 100 days of receiving a complete application. For a complete explanation of permit review time periods see RMC 4-8-080E.
