Applications pertaining to this title shall be submitted in writing to the Community Development Director on a completed city application form designated for the particular request. Every application shall include applicant and property owner signature(s), agent authorization as appropriate, and the fee prescribed by City Council resolution to cover the cost of investigation and processing. Applications shall be submitted together with all plans, maps, and data about the proposed project development or land use entitlements requested, project site, and vicinity deemed necessary by the Community Development Director to provide the approving authority with adequate information on which to base decisions. Each permit application form lists the minimum necessary submittal materials for that particular type of permit. (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)
A. Application Completeness. Within thirty (30) days of application submittal, the Community Development Director shall determine whether or not the application is complete. The Community Development Director shall notify the applicant of the determination that either:
1. All the submittal requirements have been satisfied and the application has been accepted as complete.
2. Specific information is still necessary to complete the application. The letter may also identify preliminary information regarding the areas in which the submitted plans are not in compliance with city standards and requirements.
B. Application Completeness without Notification. If the written determination is not made within thirty (30) days after receipt, the application shall be deemed complete for purposes of this chapter.
C. Resubmittal. Upon receipt and resubmittal of any incomplete application, a new thirty (30)-day period shall begin during which the Community Development Director shall determine the completeness of the application. Application completeness shall be determined as specified in division A. of this section (Application Completeness).
D. Incomplete Application. If additional information or submittals are required and the application is not made complete within six (6) months of the completeness determination letter, the application shall be deemed by the city to have been withdrawn and no action will be taken on the application. Unexpended fees, as determined by the Community Development Director, will be returned to the applicant. If the applicant subsequently wishes to pursue the project, a new application, including fees, plans, exhibits, and other materials, must then be filed in compliance with this article.
E. Right to Appeal. The applicant may appeal the determination in accordance with Section 17.10.070 (Appeals) and the Permit Streamlining Act (California Government Code Section 65943). (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)
After acceptance of a complete application, the project shall be reviewed in accordance with the environmental review procedures of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Community Development Director will consult with other departments as appropriate to ensure compliance with all provisions of the Municipal Code and other adopted policies and plans. The Community Development Director will prepare a report (the staff report) to the designated approving authority describing the project, along with a recommendation to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the application. The report shall be provided to the applicant prior to consideration of the entitlement request. The report may be amended as necessary or supplemented with additional information at any time prior to the hearing to address issues or information not reasonably known at the time the report is prepared.
