XI. - Procedure in Handling Major Capital Improvement Projects.

Major capital improvement projects shall be handled, to the extent practicable, in accordance with the City Plans and Projects Handbook, dated November 2007. Failure to follow any aspect of such processes shall not be grounds for any challenge to any city project. Prior to a development review decision by the planning board or approval of the community and environmental assessment process by an advisory board, the council may determine by motion to review the project prior to the decision on the concept review or community and environmental assessment process. If so, the manager will schedule a public hearing and consideration of a motion directing staff concerning: 1) the goals and objectives of the program which will be served by the project, and 2) the conceptual design of the project. For those projects requiring development review, the council will deal only indirectly with the factors which may ultimately be entailed in a development review application under Chapter 9-4, "Land Development Review," B.R.C. 1981, in recognition that it may later be called upon to adjudicate such questions on a call-up of a planning board decision.
