15.12.060 Action on an application.
A. Unless state or federal approval is required, the planning department has ten (10) working days upon receipt of a complete application to review an application. If the application is subject to city engineer review, an additional seven (7) working days shall be permitted for review of the application. Plans approved and conditions required by the city engineer become a part of the site plan permit. An application may be approved; approved subject to modifications; approved subject to receipt of required city engineer approval; approved subject to receipt of state or federal approval; or disapproved.
B. If approved subject to modification, the applicant shall be notified in writing of the modifications required. The permit will be issued after the applicant has agreed, in writing, to the modifications. If the applicant refuses to agree to a required modification, condition or other requirement, the application shall be denied.
C. If approved subject to receipt of required state or federal approval, the applicant shall be notified in writing that the site permit will be issued upon receipt by the land use administrator of proof that specified state or federal approval has been given. State and federal agencies that may require approval of improvements or uses include, but are not limited to, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, and the State Fire Marshal. If state or federal approval required modifications to plans, structures, improvements or uses, the land use administrator shall review the modifications to determine whether the improvement, structure or use, as modified, still meets the requirements of this code.
D. If the application is denied, the applicant shall be notified in writing of the denial and the reasons therefor.
E. If the application is approved, the applicant shall be mailed or hand-delivered a site plan permit dated and signed by the land use administrator and a site plan drawing revised to show changes required by the land use administrator and city engineer. The land use administrator may require the applicant to provide the revised drawing before issuance of the permit.
F. The site plan permit shall include:
1. The address and legal description of the property;
2. A description of the improvements approved and required by the site plan permit;
3. The approved use of the site and improvements;
4. Any other information, including diagrams, drawings, specifications and standards the land use administrator believes are necessary to inform the public and the applicant of the exact nature of the approved uses and the nature and location of the improvements;
5. Conditions of the permit required by the land use administrator and city engineer; and
6. A signature block with spaces for the date and time the site plan permit was posted and the signature of the person who posted the permit.
G. A summary of the times within which an appeal of the land use administrator’s decision on the permit may be filed shall be set out on the permit. If the permit is denied, the summary shall be stated in the written notice to the applicant of the denial. [Ord. 20-14, 2020; Ord. 10-15 § 3.]
