other means, will not be considered duly filed, whether the City retains, returns or destroys the materials received. (2) Pre-Submittal Conferences. The City strongly encourages, but does not require, potential applicants to schedule and attend a pre-submittal conference with the Community Development Director for all proposed projects that involve small wireless facilities. A voluntary pre-submittal conference is intended to streamline the review process through informal discussion between the potential applicant and staff that includes, without limitation, the appropriate project classification and review process; any latent issues in connection with the proposed project, including compliance with generally applicable rules for public health and safety; potential concealment issues or concerns (if applicable); coordination with other City departments responsible for application review; and application completeness issues. To mitigate unnecessary delays due to application incompleteness, potential applicants are encouraged (but not required) to bring any draft applications or other materials so that City staff may provide informal feedback and guidance about whether such draft applications or other materials may be incomplete or unacceptable. The Community Development Director shall use reasonable efforts to provide the potential applicant with an appointment within five working days after receiving a written request and any applicable fee or deposit to reimburse the City for its reasonable costs to provide the services rendered in the pre- submittal conference. (b) Applications Deemed Withdrawn. To promote efficient review and timely decisions, and to mitigate unreasonable delays or barriers to entry caused by chronically incomplete applications, any application governed under this Policy will be automatically deemed withdrawn by the applicant when the applicant fails to tender a substantive response to the Community Development Director within 60 calendar days after the Community Development Director deems the application incomplete in a written notice to the applicant. As used in this Section 2.3(c), a "substantive response" must include the materials identified as incomplete in the Community Development Director's notice. (c) Batched Applications. Applicants may submit up to five individual applications for a small cell permit in a "batch" to be reviewed together at the same time; provided, however, that (i) all small wireless facilities in a batch must be proposed with substantially the same equipment in the same configuration on the same support structure type; (ii) each application in a batch must meet all the requirements for a complete application, which includes without limitation the application fee for each application in the batch; (iii) if any individual application within a batch is deemed incomplete, the entire batch shall be automatically deemed incomplete; (iv) if any application is withdrawn or deemed withdrawn from a batch, all other applications in the entire batch shall be automatically deemed withdrawn; and (v) if any application in a batch fails to meet the required findings 9
