Notes: [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. [3] Applications can be submitted any time through the Town of Morrisville Customer Self Service Online Portal here. [4] The Town recommends dropping off a complete application 2-3 weeks prior to date listed in the Deadline to Enter Monthly Review Cycle. Dropping off an application prior to the deadline date does not guarantee an application will enter that review cycle. [5] The applicant will receive notice of submittal deficiencies or submittal acceptance through the online portal within 2 business days from the time of submission. 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 monthly review cycle. [6] 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 6 months, the application is considered abandoned. [7] This step typically occurs 1-2 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fails to submit a revised application within 6 months (or staff-granted extension), the application is considered withdrawn. [8] Meetings are at 6:00 p.m. in the Town Hall Council Chambers (100 Town Hall Drive, Morrisville, NC 27560). [9] Staff provides applicant written notice of Town Council’s decision to approve the application, approve it with condition, or deny the application. The overall timeline is impacted by the complexity of the process and actions taken by the boards such as tabling an item or cancelling a meeting.
