(A) All applications for zoning permits, special use permits and variances must contain all of the required information and signatures prior to being processed by the issuing authority. Applications for development approvals may be made by the landowner, a lessee or person holding an option or contract to purchase or lease land, or an authorized agent of the landowner.
(B) To properly review and act on an application, the issuing authority may request additional detailed or technical data. Requests for this type of information will be made only if necessary to evaluate the application in light of the substantive requirements of this chapter.
(C) The Planning Director or his or her designee shall develop application forms, instructional sheets, checklists or other techniques or devices to assist applicants in understanding the application requirements, form and type of information that must be submitted. In cases where a minimal amount of information is necessary to enable the Planning Director or his or her designee to determine compliance with this chapter, such as applications for zoning permits to construct single-family houses or duplexes, the Planning Director or his or her designee shall develop standard forms that will expedite the submission of the necessary plans and other required information.
