Prior to an application for development to Washington County Community Development, a Pine Valley community meeting shall be held to review the development proposal. The notice of the meeting shall be held to review the development proposal. The notice of the meeting shall be in conformance with Section 10-2-3 of the Washington County Code.
The Pine Valley community will provide feedback to the applicant to help ensure the proposal complies with the Pine Valley Overlay Zone regulations prior to the applicant submitting a complete land use application to the County.
A. Review Recommendation Committee: After an applicant submits a complete land use application to the County, the Pine Valley Local Administrative District (PVLAD) shall function as the overlay zone review recommendation committee.
B. Recommendation of Committee: The PVLAD shall review complete applications submitted to the Community Development Department pertaining to the Pine Valley Overlay Zone and provide a written narrative and recommendation to the Community Development Department for each application. The designated land use authority may consider the PVLAD’s failure to make a recommendation as a negative recommendation. The recommendation of the PVLAD is non-binding, and the County land use authority is responsible for applying and enforcing Title 10, including the provisions in the Pine Valley Overlay Zone.
C. Approval Required: The site plan and exterior design of all buildings and development proposed for the Pine Valley Overlay Zone shall be reviewed by the PVLAD, prior to submission to the Community Development Department. The County makes all final site plan, design and development approval decisions.
D. Denial / Further Consideration / Appeals: An applicant who has been denied a permit or approval by the Community Development Department may seek further consideration by following the process outlined in Title 10 Chapter 2 of the Washington County Code.
