2.02.005 PURPOSE.
This Chapter establishes the Concept Plan review process, submittal requirements, and duties of the Zoning Administrator and Development Review Committee regarding the review and processing of Concept Plans. The Concept Plan review process is a means for applicants, developers or property owners to receive input from the Zoning Administrator and Development Review Committee on a proposed development before incurring the costs associated with further stages of the approval process.
2.02.010 CONCEPT PLAN REQUIRED.
A Concept Plan is an optional review process that the applicant may request prior to making application for a Preliminary Plat.
2.02.015 NO VESTING WITH CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW.
The Concept Plan review does not create any vested rights to proceed with development in any particular configuration and developers may anticipate that the Zoning Administrator and Development Review Committee will raise other issues not addressed at the concept plan stage.
2.02.020 SUBMISSION OF APPLICATION.
A. Only property owners or their duly authorized agents shall make application for a Concept Plan on forms approved by the Zoning Administrator.
B. No Concept Plan application shall be processed without the submission of the application and all the supporting materials as required by this Chapter. Incomplete applications shall not be processed under any circumstances. The time frame for when an application shall be submitted in order to be heard first at a Development Review Committee meeting shall be set by policy of the Zoning Administrator.
C. A Preliminary Plat does not require the submittal of a Concept Plan. If a Concept Plan application is requested by the applicant, a Preliminary Plat may only be submitted once the Concept Plan application has been received and the review process has been completed.

The Zoning Administrator shall review each application submitted to determine the completeness of the application.
