General Information The following checklist and application form shall be used for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of California Government Code Section 65941.1, which shall apply for the following types of housing development projects:
1) Projects that consist of only residential units;
2) Mixed-use projects with a combination of residential and commercial uses where at least 2/3 of the of the project square footage us designated for the residential uses; or
3) Transitional and supportive housing projects.
An applicant for a housing development project shall be deemed to have submitted a complete preliminary application upon providing all of the following information about the proposed project and upon payment of the processing fee. The intent of this process is to make the development review process faster and provide
certainty to an applicant by locking in the development requirements, standards, and fees (excluding automatic annual adjustments to established fees) at the time a complete application is submitted. By doing so, the City is prohibited from applying new ordinances, policies, standards, and fee increases to a development with a
complete preliminary application.
Within 180 days of submitting a complete preliminary application, the applicant shall submit a Planning Permit Application for a Site Development Review, Tentative Map, or any other required land use entitlement required for the project. If the City determines that the Planning Permit Application is not complete pursuant to Government Code Section 65943, the applicant shall submit the specific information needed to complete the application within 90 days of receiving the City’s written incomplete notice. If the applicant does not submit this information within the 90-day period, then the preliminary application shall expire and have no further force or effect.
After submittal of all of the required information, if the development proponent revises the project such that the number of residential units or square footage of construction changes by 20 percent or more, exclusive of any increase resulting from the receipt of a density bonus, incentive, concession, waiver, or similar provision, the housing development project shall not be deemed to have submitted a preliminary application until the development proponent resubmits the required information so that it reflects the revisions. For purposes of this form, “square footage of construction” means the building area, as defined by the California Building Standards
Code (Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations).
