The Pre-Application Conference (PAC) is a free tool designed to flag any items or changes that are needed on a project involving a site plan that could cause a delay in the permitting or approval process. The Pre-Application Conference gives the City and Parish staff a chance to review the project and give direct feedback to applicants before an applicant commits funding to a project.

*Note: There is a submittal process that takes place prior to the actual Pre-Application Conference. This process is done to clarify the overall procedures. Please read ahead to understand both the Pre-Application Submittal and Pre-Application Conference.*
