(2) Precategorization Conference. Upon receipt of a PPF and appropriate fee, as set forth in Village Code Chapter 175 (Fees), the Planning and Economic Development Zoning Administrator shall schedule a Precategorization Conference with the prospective applicant. The Precategorization Conference may include the Building Inspector, Village Engineer, Village Attorney, or other staff, at the discretion of the Planning and Economic Development Zoning Administrator. At the Precategorization Conference the proposal shall be discussed and indication of the category shall be provided by the Village to the prospective applicant. In addition, the required parking standards for an overall application/site shall be clearly discussed, as well as the operational aspects of any parking provided. Application requirements and the development review procedures and process shall be discussed as well. In preparation for the Precategorization Conference, the Planning and Economic Development Zoning Administrator may require that prospective applicants request from the Building Department a standard property search. At the discretion of the Planning and Economic Development Zoning Administrator, the Precategorization and Presubmission Conference may be combined.
(3) Presubmission Conference. Prior to the submittal of a development review application a prospective applicant may request a Presubmission Conference with the Department of Planning and Economic Development. At such Presubmission Conference, the proposal may be discussed, as well as the application requirements, development review procedures, and process. A prospective applicant may request more than one Presubmission Conference. No Presubmission Conference may take place unless the appropriate fee is provided, as set forth in Village Code Chapter 175 (Fees).

When one of the applications discussed below in § 345-805F through J requires other local approvals, such as Variances or approval of a Special Exception Use, all such approvals shall be applied for at the same time. The Decisionmaking Authority shall consider the application as a whole.
