Director Administrative Approval Process

A number of planning applications are approved administratively (e.g., staff and director), but can’t be processed over-the-counter (see Over-the-Counter Approval process above) because they require additional staff and/or environmental analysis (e.g. CEQA) and public notice before a final decision can be rendered.

Applicants have the option of applying for a Conceptual Plan Review (CPR) or Preliminary Plan Review (PPR) before submitting a formal application.

Figure 10 below shows the general steps in the Administrative Director Approval process. A summary of the steps follows in the text below.
