(A) Change in state or federal law. No development agreement shall preclude the application to the subject property of changes in county laws, regulations, plans or policies, the terms of which are specifically mandated and required by changes in valid state or federal law or regulations. In the event of state or federal laws or regulations enacted after the development agreement has been executed or of the actions, of any governmental agency, other than the county, prevent or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this agreement or require changes in plans, maps or permits approved by county, the development agreement shall be modified, extended or suspended as may be necessary to comply with the state or federal laws or regulations or the actions of such other governmental jurisdictions.
(B) Forms. The Planning Director shall prepare and adopt such application forms, checklists and other documents as the Planning Director considers necessary and desirable to implement this chapter.
(C) Reserved approvals.
(1) Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the authority or obligation of the county to hold necessary public hearings or to limit the discretion of the county or any of its officers with regards to rules, regulations, ordinances, laws and entitlements of use which require the exercise of discretion by the county or any of the county’s officers, provided that subsequent discretionary actions shall not be in conflict with those elements vested in the development agreement.
(2) Nothing herein to the contrary, all applications for approvals, permits and entitlements shall be subject to the development and processing fees and taxes which are in force and effect at the time the application therefor is filed.
(3) Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the authority of the county to adopt and apply codes, ordinances or regulations which have the legal effect of protecting persons or property from dangerous conditions which create a substantial physical risk. This division is not intended to limit the intensity of the development or the use of the subject property contrary to the development agreement, but rather to protect and recognize the authority of the county to deal with dangerous circumstances not adequately addressed at the time of the adoption of the development agreement.
