§ 23A-41. Negative Declaration: Private Project Decision.

(a)

The Negative Declaration shall be completed and ready for adoption no later than one hundred five (105) days after the project application has been accepted as complete by the Planning Director except as provided in Section 15109 of the Guidelines. In the event that compelling circumstances justify additional time and the project applicant consents thereto, the one hundred five (105) day period may be extended by the Planning Director for an additional ninety (90) days. In the event additional time is needed for combined State and Federal compliance, the one hundred five (105) day period may be extended in accordance with Section 15110 of the Guidelines.

(b)

The Negative Declaration together with any comment(s) thereon shall be made available by the Planning Director to the Decision Making Body which shall review and consider the Negative Declaration and either adopt or reject the Negative Declaration prior to taking action on the private project. If the Decision Making Body decides to reject the Negative Declaration, it may disapprove the project or direct the Planning Director to prepare an EIR. If the Decision Making Body adopts the Negative Declaration, it may thereafter approve or disapprove the project.

(c)

In the event that subsequent changes are proposed in a project which will require important revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental impacts not addressed in the previous EIR or Negative Declaration on the project, then a revised environmental document shall be processed in accordance with this ordinance and the information contained therein shall be reviewed and considered prior to approval of said changes.
