Pre-Submittal Process Overview

Pre-Submittal Conferences are intended to provide applicants with information as they prepare submittals for the Planning and Zoning Board, Design Review Board, Board of Adjustment, City Council, or the Planning Hearing Officer.

The basic steps in the review process are:

Step 1: Application Submittal

• Pre-Submittal applications are due each Monday by 12:00 p.m. and must be submitted via the DIMES portal: https://aca.accela.com/MESA/Default.aspx
• The applicant is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all information submitted to the City. Incomplete applications will not be accepted for review. For more information on the Pre-Submittal process and required document please refer to the Pre-Submittal Process Guide.

Step 2: Staff Review

• City staff will review the Pre-Submittal application for compliance with all appropriate City standards, codes, specifications, and requirements.
• City staff will contact the applicant and offer to schedule a Pre-Submittal Conference to discuss forthcoming review comments.
• Staff will provide the applicant written review comments no later than the Friday prior to the scheduled Pre-Submittal Conference.

 Step 3: Pre-Submittal Conference

• Pre-Submittal Conferences are typically a half hour and held each Tuesday morning. Conferences may be requested to be held in person or via an electronic means such as Zoom or telephonically.
• At the Pre-Submittal Conference, City Staff will go over the provided review comments to see if the applicant has any questions on the information provided.
