As of June 1, DPD will accommodate the intake of an Early Design Guidance application immediately following the required presubmittal conference. This additional service will benefit applicants who arrive for their presubmittal conference with all the necessary information and materials for a complete EDG application.

During the presubmittal conference, the planner will determine if the application is ready for intake. If so, the applicant may choose to submit the application directly to land use intake staff immediately following the conference. Applicants benefit by reducing time spent scheduling and waiting for an available intake appointment, and by avoiding time delays during EDG drop-off processing.
