21A.08.010: PURPOSE STATEMENT:
The zoning certificate serves two (2) general purposes. First, it provides a means to document the review of plans for conformance with this title. Second, because the certificate must be filed along with all other applications submitted in connection with a specific development proposal, it provides an ongoing record of actions taken with respect to the authorized use of a particular parcel or site. Because the certificate serves as a vehicle for routine plan review by the zoning administrator prior to special reviews by other decision making bodies, it avoids needless special reviews of incomplete plans. (Ord. 62-09 § 10, 2009)
