City Code / Statutes

An applicant may receive informal advice by written request and by submitting relevant plans but not completing the application by paying fees.
  (A)          Provision is made for informal advice because the best interests of all persons and governmental instrumentalities include cooperation between developers and the public weal.
  (B)           Informal advice does not constitute a governmental action. Rather, it is a consultation between a potential applicant and a governmental instrumentality.
   
  (C)          Informal advice may include discussion of regulations and procedures, application contents and criteria for consideration, particulars of the plan the applicant has in mind, and other relevant matters.
