A. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to establish regulations and procedures for the processing and consideration of uses and activities allowed by conditional administrative permit. Conditional administrative permits are intended to be an efficient and cost-effective permitting process for uses and activities that do not require the scrutiny and discretion of a conditional use permit.
B. Procedure. The procedure for conditional administrative use permits is as follows:
1. Requests for conditional administrative use permits, as provided within this Chapter, shall be filed with the Community Development Director on an official application form and contain all of the information required in City Code Section 11-2-7.C.
2. The Community Development Director shall review the application and related materials and shall determine whether the proposal is in compliance with all applicable evaluation criteria, codes, ordinances, and applicable performance standards set forth in this Title. If the Community Development Director, in their sole discretion, determines that the application is not appropriate for a Conditional Administrative Permit, they shall return the application and fees and notify the applicant to reapply for a conditional use permit, pursuant to the requirements of City Code Section 11-2-8.
3. The Community Development Director shall make a determination on approval or denial of the conditional administrative permit. A determination of non-compliance with applicable codes, ordinances, and the standards in this section shall be considered a denial; unless, within ten (10) days of the date of such notice, the applicant submits revised plans and/or information with which the Community Development Director is able to determine compliance.
4. A written permit shall be issued to the applicant when a determination of compliance has been made.
C. Required application information and materials. The following information and materials shall be required for the application:
1. A complete application form signed by all property owners.
2. All required fees and escrows.
3. A statement identifying all property owners of all land included within the proposal obtained from Washington County or a title or abstract company.
4. A concise statement describing the proposed use, event or activity, including the purpose, type of merchandise involved, dates and times of operation, number of employees involved, provisions for on-site security, provisions for on-site parking, and other pertinent information required by the Community Development Director to fully evaluate the application.
5. A copy of any approved site plan for the property or an “as built” survey which accurately represents existing conditions on the site, including entrances and exits, bona fide parking and driving areas, and which accurately indicates any proposed temporary structures, including tents, stands, and signs.
6. An accurate floor plan, when in the judgment of the Community Development Director, such plan is necessary.
7. Certification to the City that there are no delinquent property taxes, special assessments, interest, or City utility fees due upon the parcel of land to which the administrative permit application relates.
8. Other information deemed necessary by the Community Development Director.
D. Performance standards. All uses, events or activities allowed by administrative permit shall conform to the applicable standards outlined in the zoning district in which such use, event or activity is proposed.
E. Appeal. Unresolved disputes as to administrative application shall be subject to appeal pursuant to City Code Section 11-2-13 of this Chapter.
F. Administration and Enforcement. Violation of an issued permit or of the provisions of this Chapter shall be grounds for denial of future permit applications.
