APPLICATION PACKET FOR

WHAT IS A PRELIMINARY PROJECT ASSESSMENT?

The Preliminary Project Assessment (PPA) is a preliminary process that evaluates moderateto large projects before development applications are filed. This early viewing of theproject provides sponsors with feedback and procedural instructions, and also allows staffto coordinate at the beginning in the development process. The PPA application is not adevelopment application. Issuance of a PPA letter is not a development approval or denial.

WHEN IS A PRELIMfNARY PROJECT ASSESSMENT NECESSARY?A PPA is required for any project that is1) creating 7 or more dwelling units, and/or2) changes of use of 25,000 square feet or more, and/or3) constructing a new non-residential building or addition of 10,001 square feet ar more.

The Department may also request other complex projects not meeting these thresholds toundergo a PPA.

HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?

PPA applications must be submitted in person at the Planning I~~formation Center, 1660Mission Street, first floor, with die required materials along with a check payable to thePlanning Department. (Please consult the current fee schedule, available at the PlanningInformation Center.) The application will not be accepted by mail, messenger or at thePlanning Department reception desk. Applicants may request a 3U-minute meeting with theassigned planners to present and explain the proposal to Department staff. The purpose ofthis meeting is not for planners to provide feedback on the project, but to give applicants theopportunity to clearly present the project to the Department. The Department will issue aPPA letter to flee applicant withal 9U days. Revising or submitting new materials may resultin a restart of the 90-day timetable. The letter includes procedural requirements (applications,approvals, etc.) and general comments on design and other significant issues. The letter isvalid for a period of 18 months. Sponsors may elect to schedule one project review meetingwith Deparhnent staff within 30 days of the issuance of the PPA letter.

An Environmental Evaluation ("EE") application will be accepted for filing concurrently withPPA applications, raflier than only after PPA letter issuance. To the extent appropriate, EEapplications submitted prior to the PPA letter issuance should be amended to address inputfrom the PPA letter.
