PRE-APPLICATION REVIEW

PROJECT PRE-APPLICATION REVIEW
The Pre-Application is an optional, highly encouraged, review prior to making a formal submittal for entitlement. This form is
separate and distinct from required submittals for eligible housing development projects that fall within the scope of Senate Bill
330 (residential, mixed-use comprised of 2/3rd or greater residential, and transitional/supportive housing. If you are seeking a
pre-application applicable under Senate Bill 330 (SB 330), please contact the Planning Division at 760-776-6483 for more
information. This form is not used for SB 330 pre-application review.
The purpose of this Pre-Application review is to provide an informal application which will:
1. Advise a prospective applicant of the current City standards and requirements.
2. Assesses whether a prospective applicant’s development proposal is consistent with the current City standards and
requirements before an application is actually filed and fees are paid.
3. Shorten the length of time required to process a development proposal once it has been accepted for processing.
4. Encourage development proposal designs that are sensitive to environmental and developmental constraints and lessen
the need for subsequently costly and time-consuming redesigns.
5. Identify special studies that will be required or comment on preliminary studies that have been provided. Development
Services Department representatives from Planning, Building and Safety, Engineering and the Public Works Department
and Fire Marshal’s will review the project documents and attend a meeting with you to provide comments and answer
questions. The information provided at this meeting will identify major issues involving your project. Please be aware that
review of a future formal submittal may include additional issues that were not addressed or because a change of regulations
during the Pre-Application process (For SB 330 Projects – Please see limitations).
Please submit plans as a flattened PDF using the City’s website. The plan will be scheduled for the next available Development
Services Project Review Committee which typically occurs on Wednesday afternoon. The more information you are able to
provide on the plans, the more the City can assist. If you have any questions, please call the Planning Division at 760-776-6483.
