(A) The Zoning Administrator shall forward level "A" and level "B" site plans and applications to the following departments and agencies where applicable for their information and opportunity to comment:
(1) City of Charlevoix Fire and Rescue Department
(2) City of Charlevoix Public Works Department
(3) Charlevoix County Road Commission
(4) Michigan Department of Transportation
(5) Charlevoix District Health Department
(6) Charlevoix County Drain Commissioner
(7) City of Charlevoix Police Department
(8) City of Charlevoix Downtown Development Authority
(9) Any other agency that may be affected by the site plan
(B) This review does not alleviate the applicant from obtaining any and all required permits and/or approvals from the departments and agencies listed above. Any comments received from the departments and agencies within a reasonable time (14 days) will be reviewed and considered by the Planning Commission and/or the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA).
(1) The Planning Commission may approve an application conditioned on obtaining agency permits, or may, if the permit is critical to the site plan, require the permit or approval prior to issuance of their approval.
(2) No construction activity associated with an approved site plan shall be undertaken until permits and approvals from all applicable agencies have been presented to the Zoning Administrator.
(3) Whenever possible, site plan review by the Zoning Administrator and Planning Commission shall be coordinated and done simultaneously with other reviews by the Zoning Administrator and Planning Commission on the same application.
(4) When an application is dependent on the need for a dimensional variance from the ZBA, re-zoning of property, or a zoning ordinance text amendment, such action must be completed prior to final site plan approval by the Planning Commission.
