§ 13.16.060. Review procedures and requirements.

(a)

The preliminary site plan submittal, narrative, application form, fee, and accompanying information shall be electronically submitted to the Planning Department.

(b)

The submittal shall be reviewed for completeness within five (5) working days. The Planning Department will review the submittal package and identify any deficiency found in the application. Once the application is found to be complete, the review procedure may begin. An incomplete submittal will not be processed.

(c)

After an application is deemed to be complete, the Planning Department will send the application out for referral to various agencies for comment. These agencies will have twenty (20) working days to respond. The failure of any agency to respond within twenty (20) working days may be interpreted as no comment on the plan by that agency, unless an extension letter is received describing the reason for delay. The applicant is encouraged to meet with the planning staff, referral agencies, and other interested parties to address any concerns prior to the end of the referral period. During the referral period, the applicant shall provide public notice of the administrative review in compliance with the public notice requirements in Section 13.08.030(f) of this Title.

(d)

When the applicant has received the referral comments, the applicant is required to participate in a Development Review Team ("DRT") meeting organized by the Planning Department to discuss the comments received with the referral agencies. The applicant shall address each comment identified by the referral agencies and electronically submit a revised set of plans. The revised plans must comply with all technical and/or regulatory requirements of the referral agencies and shall include a narrative that addresses each revision. The Planning Department will send the revised plans out for referral to the remaining various agencies for comment. These agencies will have fifteen (15) business days to respond. Should subsequent revisions be needed beyond the first two review cycles, referral agencies will provide comments within ten (10) business days of receiving the revised plan(s).

(e)

The Planning Director has discretion to modify referral review time periods for preliminary site plan review, in consultation with the Director of Engineering/Public Works.

(f)

An application for a preliminary site plan for those uses in the zone districts described in Paragraphs 13.16.030(a)(1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) of this Chapter shall be subject to an administrative review process by the Planning Director or designee. The Planning Director shall be authorized to determine if the proposed preliminary site plan meets the requirements contained in this Chapter. The Planning Director shall further have the authority based on the nature and scope of the application to require that the applicant obtain approval by the Planning Commission following a public hearing and posting the land in accordance with Subsection 13.08.030(d) of this Title. The applicant shall also have the right, in the event the Planning Director denies the application or imposes conditions determined by the applicant to be unreasonable, to appeal the decision of the Planning Director to the Planning Commission within fifteen (15) days of the Planning Director's decision. Such appeal shall be a de novo review by the Planning Commission following a public hearing and posting the land in accordance with Subsection 13.08.030(d) of this Title. Preliminary site plans for public facilities owned by the Town are subject to the noticing requirements and processing procedure described in Subsection (g) below.

The Planning Department shall schedule a public hearing before the Planning Commission to consider an application for a preliminary site plan for a public facility owned by the Town or the Parker Authority for Reinvestment for the purpose of providing a recommendation to the Town Council.
