PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE (PRE-APP)
A PRE-APP is the initial informal meeting between staff and the applicant to collaborate and discuss the City's overall goals, objectives, policies, codes, and regulations. The meeting allows the applicant to receive information and a description of the relevant review procedures anticipated from each staff discipline, Advisory Board, and City Commission. Opinions expressed at the conference are not binding for formal review purposes.

DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION REVIEW TEAM (DART) 

Following the Pre-Application Meeting, the applicant prepares and submits the application package to the Planning and Zoning Division and schedules a DART meeting. City staff review the submittal to ensure compliance with the standards and requirements of the City’s Land Development Regulations or any other applicable codes. During this informal procedure, staff prepares comments and recommendations, which are forwarded to the applicant so that any issues can be completely resolved or adequately addressed during the DART meeting and, most importantly, prior to the Planning and Development Board meeting.

CITY COMMISSION (CC)

After the P&D Board conducts its review and formulates a recommendation, the Planning and Zoning Administrator, designee, or reviewing authority would forward the items to the City Commission for final review and approval. The Commission will review all presented items, including the staff report, exhibits, and recommendations, in conjunction with any testimony or other information presented at all meetings, and vote as follows: approve the application; approve the application subject to conditions; table or defer their decision to a subsequent meeting; or deny the application.
