Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter or of the model codes adopted by reference in article IV of this chapter, prior to submitting to the Department of Community Development any application for any permit required by this chapter for a construction project identified in section 8-41, the applicant shall meet with the Director of Community Development or the Director's designee. At such meeting, the Director of Community Development shall provide the prospective permit applicant with a copy of the village Affordable Housing Plan and will discuss with the prospective applicant whether there are reasonable options for including affordable housing units in the project. Additionally, at such meeting the Director of Community Development shall provide the prospective applicant a copy of the Planned Use Development provisions of the village Zoning Ordinance and related provisions of this Code.

(b)

The meeting required in subsection (a) of this section shall be held at least 60 calendar-days prior to the date when an applicant for a construction project covered by section 8-41 files an application with the village, provided that after the required meeting, the Village Board by resolution may waive any remaining portion of the 60-day waiting period in cases where it determines that requiring an exhaustion of the waiting period would not serve the purposes of the plan.
