NOTES: days = business days [1] This list is not an all-inclusive development application list. [2] 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. [3] 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. [4] Applications can be submitted any time through the Town of Morrisville Customer Self Service Online Portal by visiting www.TownofMorrisville.org. [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 30 days, the application is considered abandoned. [7] 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fails to submit a revised application within 6 months (or staff-granted extension), the application is considered withdrawn. [8] 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. [9] The applicant will receive notice of the Town’s decision to approve the application, approve it with condition(s), or deny the application via the online portal. [10] Applications reviewed concurrently (e.g. combined Minor Site Plan and Construction Plan Approvals) typically increase the typical total review time by 30 days.
