A. Deferral Requests Approved by the Planning Director

1. Deferrals shall be granted by the Planning Director, or designee, under the following criteria:

a. The applicant or an opponent may each seek not more than one deferral for each zoning map change requested. No more than two deferrals (one each from the applicant and an opponent) shall be allowed per proposed zoning map change;

b. Each deferral request shall be for a maximum of one month. Any deferral request shall be made in writing, citing reasons for requesting the deferral; and

c. If the request for deferral is received by the Planning Director or designee and the reasons for the request are made in writing prior to notification being performed for the first Planning Commission or governing body meeting where the item would otherwise be considered.

2. Any other deferrals which do not meet the above criteria shall be treated as a continuance.

3. If the Planning Commission or governing body, as applicable, grants a deferral then new notification and associated fees shall be required.

4. The above procedures are not applicable to proposed zoning map changes that have been designated as “expedited” by a governing body.

B. Withdrawal Request by Applicant

1. The applicant petitioning for a zoning map change may withdraw the application provided that a written request stating the reason for the withdrawal is received by the Planning Director, or designee, at least ten days prior to the public hearing.

2. The request shall be accompanied by mailing labels imprinted with the names and addresses of the previously notified property owners and a fee sufficient to cover the postage for renotification of surrounding property owners if the withdrawal occurs after the Planning Commission hearing.

3. The applicant petitioning for a zoning map change with a development plan may withdraw the application at any time prior to the opening of the public hearing before the governing body by withdrawing consent to the development plan being imposed on the applicant’s property.

4. The governing body may vote to allow the applicant to withdraw an application for a zoning map change at any time.

C. Administrative Voiding of an Application

The Planning Director or designee may consider applications withdrawn and voided due to the failure of the applicant to submit required information within 90 days of a request for such information.

D. Resubmittal of Withdrawn Applications

Except in the case of an application where the applicant withdrew consent to a development plan, no application that was previously withdrawn or voided may be resubmitted until at least six months have elapsed since the date of withdrawal. In the case of applications withdrawn or voided as a result of the withdrawal of consent to a development plan after publication of a notice of a public hearing, no new application may be resubmitted until at least 12 months have elapsed since the date of withdrawal. The Planning Director or designee may waive this waiting period if the application has been substantially modified or if there has been a significant change in facts or circumstances since the application was withdrawn.
