Preliminary Screening for Restaurants, Mobile Food Facilities and Related Uses

This is a pre‐application form designed to provide potential applicants for restaurants, Mobile Food Facilities and related uses an early indicator as to how an application may or may not comply with the City’s Planning Code.  

Completion of this form is optional. Nonetheless, because of the highly complex nature of the Planning Code we strongly suggest that all potential applicants complete it and provide it to Planning Staff for review. The Planning Department’s preliminary analysis of your proposal will provide you with valuable information that may help you save time and money later in the application process.
