UDC to Appendix A: Unified Development Code
Sec. 61-52. Permitting procedure.
(a)   The applicant shall cooperate fully with the oil and gas inspector in providing all information necessary to complete the permit application. Upon completion of the review of the permit application, the oil and gas inspector shall make a recommendation to the City Manager as to whether a Level A Permit should issue. If the City Manager determines that the application complies in all respects with the provisions of this chapter, the City Manager shall issue a permit for the drilling and operation of the well.
(b)   The City Manager shall act on an application for a Level A Permit within 30 days after all information required for issuance of the permit has been filed with the oil and gas inspector. The 30 day review period shall not begin to run until the applicant has provided the oil and gas inspector with a complete application package, including satisfaction of the requirements of Section 61-30 of this chapter regarding timely posting of the required notice sign.
(c)   In reviewing the permit application, the oil and gas inspector and the City Manager may consider the past performance of the applicant in compliance with city ordinances regulating oil and gas drilling activity. Should the applicant have a history of poor compliance, such that the City Manager believes that a subsequent permit would necessitate a more intense site plan, additional conditions, or other similar requirements, then the City Manager may, within ten days of receipt of a completed application, determine that the pending application should require a Level B or Level C Permit. Thereafter, the permit shall be processed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter regarding issuance of such permits; the time period for issuance of such permits shall begin on the date of the City Manager's recommendation or the date of perfection of a permit application for the recommended permit, whichever date shall occur later.
(d)   Based on the applicant's prior compliance and other considerations as set out in subsection (c) above, the City Manager may also require as a condition of issuance of the permit increased security or insurance coverage in excess of that specified in Section 61-33 and Section 61-34 of this chapter.
(e)   The City Manager may impose any special conditions in the permit deemed appropriate to achieve the purposes of this ordinance and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the city.
(f)   The City Manager, upon a finding that the application fails to comply with the requirements of this chapter or should not be approved for the reasons stated in Sections 61-33 and 61-34 of this chapter, may deny the permit.
