8B.2a.4 Review of Sketch Plat

If the Planning Commission deems it necessary, a review by a review team may be required. The Zoning Administrator and/or the appropriate City Officials, shall transmit the sketch plat for review to appropriate officials or agencies of the local government, adjoining counties or municipalities, school, fire and other special service type districts, and other official bodies as it deems necessary or as mandated by law, including any review required by metropolitan, regional, or state bodies under applicable state or federal law. The review team members shall request that all officials and agencies, to whom a request for review has been made, submit their report to the review team within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the request. The review members will consider all the reports submitted by the officials and agencies concerning the sketch plat and shall submit a report for proposed action to the Planning Commission for the next available regular meetings. Once an application is received, it will be reviewed, as quickly as time and workload allows. It is reasonable to expect that an application will appear before the Planning Commission with a recommendation within 90 days of receipt of the application. The scale or complexity of a project or staff workload may necessitate a longer processing period. In such cases, the Zoning Administrator will notify the applicant when an application is filed as to the projected time frame. If the workload is too great for processing by available City Staff, the project review may be sent out to a consulting planner, engineer, or architect approved by the City. The developer would be responsible for all fees incurred in any plan or development review process undertaken by an outside agency or consultant.
