What is a determination of completeness?

When we receive a development application, staff will review the materials to make sure the application submittal is complete and ready for formal review. If an application submittal is not complete, staff will notify the applicant and describe the parts that are not complete.

A determination that an application is complete means the application is ready for formal review and does not suggest the applicant has provided sufficient information in all regards or preclude the reviewing authority from requesting additional information it deems appropriate.

The Zoning Administrator is authorized to make various decisions which are administrative in nature. All such decisions can be appealed to the Board of Appeals. Details about the procedures and other details are posted HERE. An appeal must be made soon after the decision.
