C. 
Preapplication conference.
(1) 
Where the comprehensive permit application includes a major land development project or a major subdivision, an applicant shall schedule with the Administrative Officer a preapplication conference. All other applicants are also encouraged to schedule a preapplication conference, but such a conference is not mandatory under state law or these regulations. The purpose of the preapplication conference shall be to review the concept plan of the proposed development and facilitate a complete application for the subsequent master plan and/or preliminary plan submission.
(2) 
To request a preapplication conference, the applicant shall submit a short written description of the project including the present and proposed use of the property, the number of units, type of housing, proposed subsidy, and a location map, together with a concept plan. Upon receipt of a request by an applicant for a preapplication conference, the municipality has 30 days to schedule and hold the preapplication conference. If 30 days have elapsed from the filing of the preapplication submission and no preapplication conference has taken place, nothing shall be deemed to preclude an applicant from thereafter filing and proceeding with an application for a comprehensive permit.
