19.13.05 Concept Plan Process

1. A Concept Plan application shall be submitted before the filing of an application for subdivision or Site Plan approval unless the subdivision was part of a previous Concept Plan application within the previous two years and the application does not significantly deviate from the previous Concept Plan. 2. Concept Plan Review Process a. The review of a Concept Plan not requiring a rezone involves an informal review of the plan by the City’s Development Review Committee. b. The review of a Concept Plan in advance of a rezone may be reviewed at the discretion of the applicant and informal feedback given by the Planning Commission and City Council. c. The review of a Concept Plan accompanying a rezone application also involves an informal review of the Concept Plan by the Planning Commission and City Council. d. The developer shall receive comments from the Development Review Committee, and when applicable, by the Planning Commission and City Council to guide the developer in the preparation of subsequent applications. e. The Development Review Committee, and Planning Commission and City Council when applicable, shall not take any action on the Concept Plan review. f. The comments of the Development Review Committee, and Planning Commission and City Council when applicable, shall not be binding, but shall only be used for information in the preparation of the development permit application. g. The Concept Plan review is intended to provide the developer with an opportunity to receive input on a proposed development prior to incurring the costs associated with further stages of the approval process. This review does not create any vested rights to proceed with development. Developers should anticipate that the City may raise additional issues in further stages not addressed at the Concept Plan stage. 3.
