(a) Applicant Withdrawal.
The applicant may withdraw any rezoning, permit or other application submitted pursuant to this title at any time before action to approve, conditionally approve or deny the application has been taken by the decision making body, by providing written notification to the director.
(b) Inactive Applications.
Where there is inactivity on an application on the part of the applicant for a period of at least six consecutive months, the director shall have the authority to deem an application withdrawn after providing written notice as provided herein. The director shall provide notice of his or her intent to deem an application withdrawn at least thirty days prior to the proposed effective date. Such notice shall be provided by first class mail to the last known address of the applicant on record with the director. For purposes of this section, “inactivity” on an application means that the director has requested from the applicant or has provided the applicant with notice of additional information, materials and/or fees needed by the director from the applicant to continue to process the application and the applicant has failed to adequately respond to that request or notice.
