Beginning March 5, 2018, new discretionary permit applications that the Planning Commission or City Council reviews are subject to Council Policy No. 84 - Development Project Public Involvement. This policy is intended to ensure that applicants become aware of and consider input from interested and affected stakeholders before a public hearing by the City's decision makers. This policy's Development Project Public Involvement Guide replace and augment those of the prior Early Public Notice procedures. One notable procedural change is that the project applicant is now responsible for mailing out Notices of Project Application rather than the City. (However, public hearing and other legally-required notices will continue to be handled by the City, as before.)

For projects subject to Part B Enhanced Stakeholder Outreach, the applicant is responsible for providing outreach notifications to other interested persons who request such notices. In addition, for those projects subject to the Part B Enhanced Stakeholder Outreach requirements, the City will publish applicant contact information in its Pending Planning Applications Report to facilitate initial communication between interested persons and the project applicant.
