A. Administrator's Decision To Hold A Joint Hearing: The administrator may combine any public hearing on a development proposal with any hearing that may be held by another local, state, regional, federal, or other agency as long as: 1) the hearing is held within the city limits; and 2) the requirements of subsection C of this section are met.
B. Applicant's Request For Joint Hearing: The applicant may request that the public hearing on a development proposal be combined as long as the joint hearing can be held within the time periods set forth in this title. In the alternative, the applicant may agree to a particular schedule if that additional time is needed in order to complete the hearings.
C. Prerequisites To Joint Public Hearings: A joint public hearing may be held with another local, state, regional, federal, or other agency and the city as long as:

2. Sufficient notice of the hearing is given to each of the agencies' adopted notice requirements as set forth in statute, ordinance, or rule; and
3. The agency has received the necessary information about the proposed project from the applicant in enough time to hold its hearing at the same time as the local government hearing. (Ord. 778, 10-30-2003, eff. 11-11-2003)
