A. Concurrent Filing. An applicant for a development project that requires the filing of more than one application (e.g., Zoning Map Amendment and a Conditional Use Permit, etc.), shall file all related applications concurrently, together with all application fees required by Section 10.82.090 (Application Fees), below, unless the concurrent filing requirements are waived by the Director.
B. Concurrent Processing. Multiple applications for the same project shall be processed concurrently, and shall be reviewed, and approved or denied by the highest review authority designated by this Zoning Code for any of the applications (i.e., a project for which applications for Zoning Map Amendment and a Conditional Use Permit are filed shall have both applications decided by the Council, instead of the Commission acting upon the Conditional Use Permit as otherwise required by Table 6-1). In the example cited, the Commission would still hear each application (the Zoning Map Amendment and the Conditional Use Permit) and forward recommendations to the Council.
