Overview
PREP review is an optional permit process for certain Land Use Entitlement
Permits which requires applicants to work collaboratively, one on one, with
review staff and Design Review Board (if required) to achieve a
code-compliant submittal prior to permit application. For PREP,
an application must already be code -compliant and in approvable form to be
considered complete. The result is project approval (or recommendation of
approval) at the first Technical Committee and Design Review Board meetings
following formal application.
Applicants choosing to undergo PREP review must read and sign a Memorandum of
Understanding committing to the turn around times and review procedures.
Below are documents explaining PREP
review:
Should you go through a Pre-Application Meeting or PREP Review?
If you have previously met with City representatives, have developed a
specific proposal for which you have put together a development team, and are
ready to move ahead with detailed review, then you may choose to begin PREP, if eligible.
A Technical Committee Pre-Application meeting is appropriate if you are simply
exploring ways to develop the property or have a general idea of a proposed site
plan, but have not yet identified "fatal flaws". This process is generally
appropriate where your proposal is undefined or still at a conceptual stage and
you are not yet ready to move forward with a specific proposal.
Is your proposal eligible for PREP review?
In part, PREP review was created to reduce the need for the City to request
additional information from the applicant. Fees are now assessed for
applications that don't provide adequate information for approval. Therefore, only those permit types that have adopted resubmittal
fees are eligible to participate in PREP review. They are:
Binding Site Plan
Boundary Line Adjustment
CAO Exemption for Streets and/or Utilities
Conditional Use Permit
MPRD/MPCD
PRD/PCD
Essential Public Facility
Plat Alteration/Plat Vacation
Preliminary Plat
Right of Way Vacation
Shoreline Permit
Shoreline Conditional Use Permit
Shoreline Variance

Site Plan Entitlement
Special Use Permit for Change of Use, Kiosk or new construction subdivision
Temporary Use Permit - Long Term (greater than 6 months)
PREP Submittal Requirements
Submittal requirements for all Permit Types eligible for PREP are still
under development. Below are the submittal requirements available at this
time. Please speak with a Planner if your permit type is not listed below.
