NOTES: days = business days [1] At least two business days before a scheduled pre-application conference, the applicant shall submit a conceptual plan or drawings showing the location, general layout, and main elements of the proposed development application. [2] A pre-application conference with staff is required or strongly encouraged for all applications (see UDO for specific application requirements). It is recommended to have a pre-application conference at least six weeks prior to application submittal. Any requests for stream origin determinations shall be made at or prior to this meeting. [3] Complete applications can only be dropped off at the Planning Department (260 Town Hall Drive, Suite B, Morrisville, NC 27560) on Wednesdays between 8 am and noon. See checklist and Section 2.4.3, Application Submittal, Acceptance, Revisions, and Withdrawal, of the UDO for specific requirements. [4] Staff provides the applicant written notice of submittal deficiencies or submittal acceptance by Friday (2 days). Review of an application does not start until staff determines it to be complete, accepts the application for review, and enters an application into the review cycle. [5] Time needed to correct application submittal deficiencies and resubmit a complete application is the responsibility of the applicant. If the applicant fails to resubmit a complete application within 30 days, the application is considered abandoned. [6] This step typically occurs 2-3 times. Time needed to review revised applications varies with the extent of staff comments and responding revisions. If the applicant fails to submit a revised application within 15 days of receiving staff comments, the review time will most likely take longer than this published timeline. If the applicant fails to submit a revised application within 60 days (or staff-granted extension), the application is considered withdrawn. [7] This step typically occurs 2-3 times. Time needed to review a revised application can take longer than 15 days due to the extent of initial staff comments and responding revisions. [8] Staff provides applicant written notice of its decision to approve the application, approve it with condition(s), or deny the application. [9] Applications reviewed concurrently (e.g. combined Minor Site Plan and Construction Plan Approvals) typically increase the typical total review time by 30 days. [10] This list is not an all-inclusive development application list.
