1. Contact information for the individual or firm submitting the application.

2. Contact information for the individual or firm on whose behalf the application is being submitted.

3. Identification of the property affected by the application, such as a legal description, address, or REID as may be appropriate.

4. Any other information required by the director of the appropriate department, or designee, or the provisions of this Ordinance.

1. All applications and associated fees shall be filed with the appropriate department.

2. Filing fees shall be established from time to time to defray the actual cost of processing the application.

3. An applicant who has paid the appropriate fee pursuant to the submission of an application, but who chooses to withdraw such application prior to its distribution for review shall be entitled to a refund of the total amount paid, less ten percent for administrative costs, upon written request to the appropriate department. Once review has begun, no refund shall be available, except that unused notice surcharges shall be refunded less ten percent for administrative purposes. No refund of technology surcharges shall be provided.

1. Applications shall include all required fees, and contain all required information as described on forms available from each department involved in the review process, unless modified by the department, in writing, pursuant to 2, below. Incomplete applications may be reviewed in extraordinary circumstance.

2. The presumption shall be that all of the information required in the application forms is necessary to satisfy the requirements of this section. However, it shall be recognized that each application is unique, and therefore more or less information may be required according to the needs of the particular case. The applicant may rely on the recommendations of the appropriate department as to whether more or less information should be submitted.

3. Once the application has been determined sufficient for processing, copies of the application shall be referred by the appropriate department to the appropriate reviewing entities.

4. The director of the appropriate department, or designee, may require an applicant to present evidence of the authority to submit an application.

5. An application shall be considered to have been accepted for review only after it has been determined to be complete as provided above, not upon submission to the appropriate department.

1. Upon receipt of an application sufficient for processing, the director of the appropriate department, or designee, shall review the application and confer with the applicant to ensure an understanding of the applicable requirements of this Ordinance; that the applicant has submitted all of the information they intend to submit; and that the application represents precisely and completely what the applicant proposes to do.

2. Once the applicant indicates that the application is as complete as the applicant intends to make it, the application shall be placed before the appropriate approving authority in accordance with standard procedures. However, if the director of the appropriate department, or designee, believes the application is incomplete, a recommendation to deny the application on that basis shall be provided to the appropriate approving authority.

1. Related applications necessary for development approvals may be filed and reviewed simultaneously, at the option of the applicant. Any application that also requires a variance, special use permit, or certificate of appropriateness shall not be eligible for final approval until the variance, special use permit, or certificate of appropriateness has been granted.

2. Related applications submitted simultaneously are subject to approval of all other related applications; denial or disapproval of any concurrently submitted application shall stop consideration of any related applications until the denied or disapproved application is resolved.

1. Requests for additional information, corrections, or other modifications for all applications, unless otherwise indicated in this Ordinance, shall be returned to the Planning Director or designee within six months from the date comments on the application are officially issued. Failure to meet this deadline shall result in the application being considered withdrawn and voided, thus requiring a new application, including all requirements associated with a new application.

2. Requests for additional information, corrections, or other modifications for applications submitted to address a notice of violation shall be returned to the Planning Director or designee within 30 days from the date comments on the application are officially issued. Failure to meet this deadline shall result in the application being considered withdrawn and voided, thus requiring a new application, including all requirements associated with a new application.
