§ 34-501. Public works permit review.

(a)

While the PZC shall issue building permits and the public works department shall issue land clearing permits, the public works director or his designee shall review each applicable application for a building permit and each application for a land clearing permit to determine its conformance with the provisions of this division. Within 30 days after receiving an application, the public works director or his designee shall, in writing:

(1)

Approve the permit application;

(2)

Approve the permit application subject to such reasonable conditions as may be necessary to secure substantially the objectives of this division; following which, the PZC will only issue the building permit and the public works department will only issue the land clearing permit subject to these conditions; or

(3)

Disapprove the permit application, indicating the deficiencies and the procedure for submitting a revised application and/or submission.

(b)

If the public works director or his designee fails to act on an original or revised application for a building permit or land clearing permit within thirty days of receipt thereof, the application as filed shall be deemed approved by the public works director or his designee, unless the time period for review has been extended by agreement between the applicant and the public works director or his designee. Pending preparation and approval of any revised application, development activities may be allowed to proceed in accordance with any reasonable conditions established by the public works director or his designee.
