§ 23.02.022. Determination of Completeness.

Within the time periods specified by this section, the Planning Director shall determine whether a land use permit application includes the information required by this chapter and any information required by the list(s) maintained by the Department of Planning and Building, as allowed by Government Code Section 65940, which specify in detail the information required to be submitted prior to the department's determination of whether an application is complete, and shall notify the applicant of the results of that determination. The applicant shall be informed by a letter either; that the application has been accepted for processing; or that the application is incomplete. If the application is determined to be incomplete, the letter shall specify the parts of the application that are incomplete and shall indicate the manner in which the application can be made complete, including a list and description of specific information needed.

a.

Plot Plans. The determination of completeness shall occur at the time of application filing. No Plot Plan application shall be accepted for processing unless it is determined to be complete at the time of filing.

b.

Minor Use Permits, and Development Plans. The determination of completeness shall occur pursuant to the procedures and time limits set forth in Government Code Section 65943.

When an applicant is notified that an application is incomplete, the time used by the applicant to prepare and submit the additional information shall not be considered part of the period within which the Planning Director must determine completeness. The time available to an applicant to prepare and submit additional information is limited by Section 23.02.056 (Application Deemed Withdrawn). When information requested to complete an application is received by the Planning Director, the information shall be reviewed for adequacy within the same time frame required for the initial completeness review by subsections a and b above for the respective application type.
