Preapplication Conferences should be requested during the more
advanced stages of the planning process and must be done before an
application can be submitted.
The conference allows the applicant to discuss the proposed project with
City, Eastside Fire & Rescue, and local water & sewer district staff. Staff will
provide comments designed to assist applicants in finalizing their
development plans and preparing to submit their complete application.
Certain types of applications have their own Preapplication Conference
Request Forms and may charge different fees. This includes the Unified
Zone Development Plan Preapplication Conference and the Site-Specific
Land Use Map Amendment Docket Request Preapplication Conference.
WHEN PREAPPLICATION CONFERENCES ARE REQUIRED
Preapplication Conferences are required for all Type 2, 3, and 4 land use
decisions. Additionally, Sammamish Municipal Code 20.05.030 outlines
which types of Type 1 land use decisions are required to have
Preapplication Conferences.
The City may decide to waive the Preapplication Conference requirement
for some projects. Additionally, applicants may request to have the
Preapplication Conference waived.
APPLICANT RESPONSIBILITIES
Information provided by City staff as part of a Preapplication Conference
does not guarantee project approval. Applicants are responsible for
completing all property and project-related research, preliminary design,
providing all required supporting documentation, and submitting a
complete application. The City strongly suggests applicants obtain the
services of a qualified consultant to assist in resolving design issues.
FEES
Applicants are responsible for providing an initial deposit (as well as
additional deposits as needed) to cover all application review costs.
The fee applicable to this request is a Preapplication Conference Fee (Type
1-4). See current fee schedule.
