The application shall be accompanied by a fee established by the resolution establishing fees and the charges for various Municipal services. The request shall indicate the desired phasing of the project. (ii) No application for a major project allocation will be accepted for processing by the Planning Department if capacity within the major project sub-allocation is not available for a reasonable project phase within at least the second calendar year alter the year the application is tendered. b.

(ii) In reviewing a major project developer's request for allocation, the City Council shall use its discretion in establishing a phasing schedule, giving consideration to the number of major projects which are pending or are likely to seek approval in the near term, the principle of "first-come, first-served," the economic feasibility of phasing the project, and other factors. The approval shall be in the form of a growth management agreement. C. First-Come, First-Served Project.
