SUBJECT:
MEMORANDUM
January 22, 1996
Streamlining the Development Process
Prepared By:
Debbie Ubnoske, Planning Manager
John Meyer, Senior Planner
RECOMMENDATION:
Provide Direction to Staff
BACKGROUND
At the January 8, 1996 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission discussed a number
of ways to improve the development review process. Following are some of the ideas that
were briefly discussed.
Developing a pre-application process;
Formalizing project timelines;
Holding training sessions for the Planning Commission on issues such as the
Development Code, Design Guidelines, Landscaping, and Traffic Studies.
It is staff's intention to bring forth topics to the Commission every meeting. The next topics
to be discussed at the February Planning Commission meeting will be landscaping, lighting and
staff report content.
The topics to be discussed this evening include the following: development of a pre-
application process; legal noticing; and timelines for approval of development projects.
Pre-ADolication Process
It is staff's belief that development of a pre-application process would help streamline the
development review process. A pre-application process would enable staff to meet with an
applicant before the application was submitted. It is anticipated that upon learning that an
applicant wished to file an application, a meeting would be scheduled with representatives
from Planning, Public Works, Building and Safety and the Fire Department to discuss a
preliminary site plan. Such a meeting would afford staff the opportunity to ensure that the
project is consistent with the City's General Plan and Development Code and to discuss
various issues with the applicant such as parking and landscaping requirements and signage.'
Staff could also provide the applicant with a list of possible mitigation fees (i.e. k-rat, signal
mitigation, area drainage fees, etc.) and provide the applicant information on application filing
fees. For those projects that are of a large scale such as specific plans, staff would be able
to provide direction in terms of City policies such as the Village Center concept. It is
envisioned that at the conclusion of this pre-application meeting, the applicant would be
provided with a list of filing fees, list of possible mitigation fees, list of studies that would be
required, as well as, preliminary comments on the site plan. By providing all this information
prior to the application being filed, staff feels that, at a minimum, at least two weeks could
be saved. If studies are involved, advance notice to the applicant could save him\her 30 to
60 days depending on the type of study. It is the Planning Department's procedure currently
to alert applicants to the need for studies at the Development Review Committee meeting
which occurs two to three weeks after the application has been filed.
Leaal Noticinq
There are both State and local City requirements for legal noticing of projects. These
requirements vary depending on the type of project and whether or not it is exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Attachment A provides a brief synopsis of the
three different noticing requirements and differentiates between State and local requirements.
Timelines for ADDrOval of Development Projects
The City has initiated a preliminary timeline for development review. This timeline uses the
February 5, 1996 Planning Commission as an example and shows what the deadlines are for
legal noticing, as well as, the deadlines for information submittal, staff report and conditions
of approval submittal and the dates the packets are due to the Planning Commission (reference
Attachment B). Staff will be working in the coming weeks to finalize this handout, For
purposes of public information, the handout will only contain information on the deadline for
information submittal and the Planning Commission hearing date. This handout will allow an
applicant to see when he\she needs to get all the information in to the Planning Department
in order to make a particular hearing date.
