Expedited Review.
[1999 Code § 17.82.120]
Inclusionary developers are also entitled to expedited treatment in processing development applications. To that end, the following procedures for preliminary and final approvals shall apply. Nothing herein shall prohibit the applicant from submitting a simultaneous application for preliminary and final approval subject to compliance with all requirements for both approvals.
a.
Preliminary and/or final plans shall be submitted to the Planning Board. The plans and application materials shall be in accordance with the Ordinance checklist requirements, subject to reasonable waiver requests. Applications for preliminary and final approval may be submitted simultaneously.
b.
Within twenty-one (21) days following submission for preliminary and/or final approval, the developer shall be provided with a written determination as to whether its application is complete. So long as the application is submitted at least twenty-one (21) days prior to a TRC meeting, the applicant will be scheduled for the next TRC meeting for review. If the application is not determined to be incomplete within twenty-one (21) days of filing, it shall be deemed complete. If the application is considered incomplete, applicant shall be notified in writing as to the specific additional materials required.
c.
Upon resubmission of incomplete items, the developer shall be provided with a written determination regarding completeness within fifteen (15) days.
d.
Municipal reports concerning the review of a complete development application shall be filed within fifteen (15) days of a written determination of completeness.
e.
The Planning Board shall schedule the initial public hearing for a date not more than thirty (30) days after the date of completeness and shall take final action on the development application within sixty (60) days of its being deemed complete. Toward this end, the Planning Board shall schedule public hearings and at such hearings allow at least three (3) hours for the development application. Upon the applicant's request, the Planning Board shall schedule sufficient meetings to take final action within sixty (60) days. If the Planning Board fails to take final action within ninety (90) days of the application being deemed complete, unless the time period for action is extended in writing by the applicant, the application shall be deemed approved.
f.
The Planning Board shall adopt a written resolution setting forth its decision on the application within thirty (30) days of the close of the public hearing.
