(A) The permit procedures provide for the prompt review of minor developments, bed and breakfast operations, and plat amendments, while assuring they have no significant adverse impact on environmental quality, neighboring uses, or public facilities and services.
(B) The Class I permit procedure shall be as follows.
(1)
The developer shall file a properly completed permit application form, including eight, 11-inch by 17-inch copies and one digital copy of the plat/plan, the required supporting materials, and the required application fee with the PZA at least 14 days prior to the Commission meeting at which the application can be reviewed.
(2) The PZA shall review the application, performing a preliminary assessment as to whether or not the application is in compliance with the county comprehensive plan and this Development Code. The PZA shall communicate to the applicant the findings of the preliminary assessment.
(3) The PZA shall place the application on the agenda of the next regular Commission meeting, at which time it will be reviewed by the Commission.
(4) No application shall be reviewed if the applicant or a representative is not present.
(5) The Commission shall determine whether or not the proposed development is in compliance with the comprehensive plan and all requirements of this chapter. If the proposed development complies with all applicable absolute standards of this chapter and has a cumulative score of zero or greater, on the relative standards of this chapter, the application for a permit shall be approved. If the proposed development fails to comply with any applicable absolute standard of this chapter or has a negative cumulative score on the relative standards of this chapter, the application for a permit shall be disapproved. Conditions may be attached to approval of any permit.
(6) If the application is denied by the Commission, the reasons for such denial shall be in writing, stating the specific sections of this Development Code that were not met. A copy of the written denial shall be transmitted to the Board of County Commissioners together with any supporting documentation used by the P&Z Commission.
(7) Plat amendments. The Commission shall determine:
(a) Whether the lots resulting from the proposed plat amendment are capable of accommodating a use permitted by this chapter; and
(b) Whether the proposed amendment affects road or utilities access to any lot or adjoining parcel. If the lots resulting from the proposed plat amendment are capable of accommodating such a use and the amendment does not adversely affect access to any lot or adjoining parcel, the Commission shall approve the application for a permit and place the proposed plat amendment on the agenda of the next regular Board meeting, at which time will permit its proper review. If the lots resulting from the proposed plat amendment are not capable of accommodating such a use, or the amendment adversely affects access to a lot or adjoining parcel, the Commission shall disapprove the application for a permit.
(8) The Commission’s decision may be appealed to the Board using the appeals procedure. A notice of any such appeal shall be filed with the PZA and the Board of County Commissioners within 45 days after notice of the final decision has been issued.
