number of allotments for the competition to be held for fiscal years 2006-07 and
2007-08, as well as to make any positive supplemental adjustments for the previously
awarded fiscal years 2004-05 and 2005-06, for projects that competed for 2004-05
and 2005-06 allotments.
Allotment grantees can apply for an Extension of Time. The Council makes the final
decision on Extension requests after they have been reviewed by the Planning
Commission. Staff said that Extensions are typically granted, as long as the applicant
can demonstrate that they have made adequate progress constructing their project.
Staff said that the policies governing Extension requests are currently being discussed
as part of the RDCS update process, which is good.
Preliminary Plan Reviews
Preliminary Plan Reviews are an optional process for applicants desiring to obtain
preliminary feedback from staff, Planning Commission and/or Council review
regarding their project (see “Process Issues” heading for additional discussion). Staff
indicated that it is a process that is not heavily used by applicants, and a fee has been
adopted for this service and is included in the Planning Division Fee Schedule as part
of the City’s goal to cover 100% of service costs in the Division.
Table 14 below shows the Preliminary Plan Reviews that were conducted by staff for
Measure C (RCDS) and Non-Measure C activities from 2010 through 2015.

The six-year average for both types of preliminary meetings was 2. There was a
significant increase in activity from 2012 to 2013, which likely corresponds to the
improvement in market conditions in the area.
