5. Attend the meeting

   . The ARB will not review an application unless someone is present to represent the project. Meetings are generally held on the first and third Monday of each month, beginning at 1:00 p.m., in Room 241 of the County Office Building. Applicants may present their projects to the ARB following a brief presentation by staff, and Board members may ask applicants to clarify various aspects of their proposals.

For final reviews, the ARB may choose to approve the application, deny the application, or approve the application with conditions. The ARB could require additional reviews, or could direct staff to work out final details with the applicant.

7. Action letter

   . Staff will prepare a letter to the applicant that summarizes the ARB's action and that outlines the required action by the applicant.

8. Additional submittals

   . Most projects require both a preliminary review meeting with the ARB and a final review meeting with the ARB. The procedures listed here are followed for all reviews required by the ARB. All submittals are made according to the published Submission and Review Schedule.
