A. Before submitting an application for a claim pursuant to this chapter, the claimant may schedule and attend a pre-application conference with the director to discuss the application. The pre-application conference shall follow the procedure set forth by the director. The applicant shall pay the applicable fee as established by resolution of the city council.

B. To schedule a pre-application conference, the claimant must contact the director. The pre-application conference is for the claimant to provide a summary of the claimant’s application for a claim and for the director to provide information to the claimant about regulations that may affect the application, including this chapter. The director may provide the claimant with a written summary of the pre-application conference within 10 days after it is held.

C. The director is not authorized to settle any claim at a preapplication conference. Any omission or failure by staff to recite to a claimant all relevant applicable land use regulations will not constitute a waiver or admission by the City. [BC 2.07.012, added by Ordinance No. 4472, 2/25/08]
