If pursuant to Section 12.30.30 a Permit is required, then the following permit application procedure shall apply:
Following the pre-application meeting described in Section 12.30.20 and/ or the Director’s Determination under Section 12.30.30, the applicant shall submit application materials to the Director. The application submittal requirements are described in Section 12.30.60.
An application will not be considered unless it is complete. If the Director determines that the application is incomplete, the Director shall specify in writing the additional information that is required. An application is not complete unless the fee requirements in Section 12.30.40 have been met. The Director shall note on the application the date the application is determined to be complete.
The Director shall determine the number of copies of the application required and the applicant shall provide such copies prior to the permit being formally scheduled for hearing.
The Director may send a copy to any local, state or federal agency that may have expertise or an interest in impacts that may be associated with the Project.
Not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of a complete application for a Permit, the Permit Authority shall set and publish a notice of the date, time and place for the Permit Authority hearing on the application. Such notice shall be published once in the County legal newspaper, not less than thirty (30) days or more than sixty (60) days before the date set for the hearing. Notice shall be mailed to adjacent property owners.
No less than seven (7) days prior to the hearing before the Permit Authority, the Director shall prepare a staff report that summarizes the application and comments from review agencies, if any, and that identifies whether the permit application adequately demonstrates that the Project will comply with each of the applicable Permit Application Approval Criteria in Sections 12.40.10, 12.40.20 and 12.40.30. The Director shall include in his report the reason why any approval criterion has not been satisfied and may recommend conditions to ensure that the Project will satisfy each criterion. A copy of the staff report shall be provided upon completion to the applicant and to the public upon request.
In the case of an application for site selection and construction of major facilities of a public utility, following receipt of the application the Director shall cause the Permit Authority to consider the application within the time periods established by C.R.S. § 29-20-108(2).
