§ 17.02.040. Application process.

Applications for permits, permit modifications, amendments, and other matters pertaining to the Zoning Code, shall be filed with the Planning Department on the appropriate City application form. The following procedures apply to the granting of a development application:

A.

Submittal Information. All plans, and any other information required by the Planning Department shall be submitted with the application form. Applications shall be completed by the owner(s) of properties, their agents, or other persons who have written authority from the property owner(s) to complete and file the application on the owner's behalf. Any person or authorized representative desiring a permit or approval required by this Title, shall file an application with the Planning Director or the designee on forms provided by the Planning Director.

B.

Pre-application Meeting. Prior to the filing of an application for any discretionary permit requiring approval by the Planning Commission or City Council, the applicant may request a pre-application conference with the Planning Director or the designee. The purpose of the pre-application conference is to advise the applicant of the development regulations applicable to the property for which the application is being filed and to review any preliminary site plan or other development plans the applicant may have prepared.

C.

Application is Deemed Completed. No application shall be processed until it is deemed complete by the Planning Director or the designee. No application shall be deemed complete until all required information is provided in the required quantity and format.

E.

Concurrent Applications. Whenever more than one permit or approval is required for a proposed Project or use, all applications shall be filed and processed concurrently. All such related applications will be reviewed in accordance with the procedures set forth for the application requiring the highest level of review.

F.

Application Fees. Each applicant for a land use action authorized by this Zoning Ordinance shall pay those fees and costs as established by resolution of the City Council.

G.

Re-submittal of Application. Whenever an application or portion of an application has been denied or revoked and the denial or revocation becomes final, no new application for the same or similar request may be accepted within one year of the date of the denial, unless the Planning Director finds that the conditions surrounding the application have sufficiently changed to warrant a new application. Changed conditions shall mean a substantial change in land use on properties in the vicinity, improved infrastructure in the vicinity, altered traffic patterns, or any such similar change resulting in a changed physical environment.
