STATEMENT OF POLICY It is the policy of the City Council to require that all applications for development projects have a thorough, comprehensive review by staff before the projects are scheduled for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council.

Priority for processing and scheduling shall be given to those applications for which all information is complete and all issues have been addressed. In this regard, the following procedures shall apply: 1. Once the\ application is filed with the City, staff shall review the application for completeness, complexity of project and unresolved issues. 2. If the application is complete and no issues are' identified, the project shall be forwarded for normal scheduling based on the order in which the application is filed with the City. 3. If additional information is needed, unresolved issues are identified or additional time is needed for review of the application, staff shall forward its findings to the Issue Review Committee consisting of Director of Building and Planning, the City Engineer and the Land Use Planning Manager.
