(A) All planning applications and actions shall be automatically deemed withdrawn, without any further action by the Community Development Department, when the applicant fails to tender a substantive response to the Community Development Department within 120 calendar days following the date of the written notice of an incomplete application. The Zoning Administrator may, in the Zoning Administrator’s discretion, grant a written extension for up to an additional 90 calendar days when the applicant submits a written request prior to the 120th day that shows good cause to grant the extension. Delays due to circumstances outside the applicant’s reasonable control will be considered good cause to grant the extension.
(B) When an application is deemed withdrawn, or has been withdrawn by the applicant, the Zoning Administrator shall return the entire application package to the applicant, including accompanying information and any portion of the filing fee not used in processing up to the point of withdrawal. The return application shall also be accompanied by a letter explaining the requirements for refiling. A withdrawn application may be refiled at any time, provided the withdrawn applicant submits a new application and associated application fees.
