§ 36.10.060. Initial permit application review.

The agricultural commissioner shall review each permit application for completeness and accuracy before it is accepted as complete and officially filed. The agricultural commissioner's determination of completeness shall be based on the department's list of required application contents and any additional instructions provided to the applicant in any pre-application contact, and/or during the initial review period. No permit application shall be deemed complete, and processing shall not commence on any permit application, until all required fees and deposits have been paid, and all required plans, maps, reports, and other information and materials have been submitted to the agricultural commissioner and reviewed to determine compliance with this chapter, including peer review where necessary to determine compliance with this chapter.

A.

Notification of applicant when permit application is incomplete. The agricultural commissioner shall inform the applicant in writing within thirty (30) days of filing when a permit application is incomplete. The letter shall specify the additional information required to make the permit application complete.

B.

Withdrawal of application. If an applicant fails to provide the additional information specified in the agricultural commissioner's letter providing notice of an incomplete permit application within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date of the letter, the permit application shall be deemed withdrawn without any further action by the agricultural commissioner. The agricultural commissioner may grant one (1) 90-day extension, if the applicant files a written request with the agricultural commissioner before expiration of the original 120-day period. After the withdrawal of a permit application, future consideration by the agricultural commissioner shall require the submittal of a new permit application and associated fees.
