(A) As built construction drawings. The development and applicant shall furnish as built drawings of all required public improvements once constructed. Submission of as built drawings will be required prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit by the county, or release of development agreement or improvements guarantee. (Include also any common facilities that could ever apply for public acceptance or maintenance.)
(B) Review of improvement guarantee agreement. The County Commission shall review and execute a developer’s improvement guarantee agreement, as necessary, to guarantee completion of the required improvements. The only allowed financial guarantee method is funds directly deposited with the County Treasurer.
(C) Fees. Fees shall be charged to applicants as may be required by an adopted fee schedule for excavation permits, zoning amendments, building permits, occupancy permits, conditional use permits, design review, Planning Commission and appeal authority hearings and/or meetings and such other services as are required by this chapter to be performed by public officers, agencies or outsourced consultants and the like. Such fee schedule shall be established by the County Commission by resolution and shall be in amounts reasonably needed to defray costs to the public.
(D) Copies. The number of copies required to be submitted to the county for a land use application shall be determined by the Zoning Administrator and included with the development application form. Additional copies may be required by the Zoning Administrator as may be needed for proper review and plan distribution.
(E) Formal action and hearings. Formal action and hearings on any application shall be conducted in accordance with this chapter and the state’s Open and Public Meetings Act, being UCA §§ 52-4-1 et seq.
(F) Dedication of land to public. Acceptance of dedication of proposed public lands, utility or street rights-of-way in an approved plan can be made only by the County Commission, and only after review of title insurance by the County Attorney.
(G) Application forms. Application for any required land use permit shall be submitted on forms prepared for that purpose by the Zoning Administrator.
(H) Retention of plans. Plans, specifications and reports for all applications submitted to the county shall become the property of the public and shall be retained by the county in accordance with the Utah Government Records Access and Management Act, UCA §§ 63G-2-101 et seq.
(I) Expiration.
(1) Unless there is substantial action under a land use permit within a maximum period of one year from the date of its issuance, said permit shall expire and shall have no further force or effect. Application for a building permit, business license, subdivision and communication with the county regarding requirements for proceeding toward other permit applications are considered types of substantial action. Every conditional use permit shall run with the land, unless specific conditions regarding time limitation are placed on the permit which are necessary to mitigate potential detrimental effects.
(2) Unless otherwise prohibited, upon written request and for good cause shown, any land use authority having authority to grant approval of an application may, without any notice or hearing, grant extensions of any time limits imposed by this chapter on such application, its approval or the applicant, provided a written request for such extension has been received by the Zoning Administrator prior to the date of expiration, or provided the county has initiated an extension prior to the date of expiration. The total period of time granted by any such extension or extensions shall not exceed one-half the length of the original time period.
(J) Phased development. Land use application approval may be granted on less than the entire parcel owned or controlled in certain situations, as approved by the land use authority. The development of the project shall be in an orderly manner and in such a way that the phases will be contiguous, the required improvements will be made available for the full, effective and practical use and enjoyment thereof by the lessees or the grantees of any of the lands developed within the time hereinafter specified. Approvals are only valid and vested as approved per a complete application submittal per phase, and as per the specific conditions of approval for each phase. Subsequent phases in a development shall be required to submit a complete application and fees and to meet all submittal and review requirements for each phase based on the land use regulations in place at the time of phase submittal, unless their requirements are altered by other code provisions or development agreement.
(K) Changes. Any significant changes made in an approved drawing require resubmission of the drawing for approval by the Planning Commission and governing body, and additional fees may be required.
(L) Additional required information. The Planning Commission, governing body, Zoning Administrator, County Planner, County Engineer, Building Official, Fire Chief or County Attorney may require such additional information as necessary to complete a proposal for the written record, demonstrate capability, solve anticipated problems or show geotechnical solutions to site development.
