Only a qualified applicant may file an application to enter into a development agreement. A qualified applicant is a person who has legal or equitable interest in the real property which is the subject of the development agreement. Applicant includes authorized agent. The Planning Director shall require an applicant to submit proof of this interest in the real property and of the authority of the agent to act for the applicant. Such proof may include a preliminary title report issued by a title company licensed to do business in the State evidencing the requisite interest of the applicant in the real property. Before processing the application, the Planning Director may obtain the opinion of County Counsel as to the sufficiency of the applicant’s interest in the real property to enter into the development agreement.
