(1) Determination of Completeness. Within 28 days after receiving a permit application, the Department shall mail or provide a written determination to the applicant which states either: (a) that the application is complete or (b) that the application is incomplete and what is necessary to make the application complete.

(2) Identification of Other Agencies with Jurisdiction. To the extent known by the City, other agencies with jurisdiction over the project permit application shall be identified in the City’s determination required by subsection (1) of this section.

(3) Complete Application. A project permit application is complete for purposes of this section when it meets the submission requirements in CMC 14.35.020, as well as the submission requirements contained in the applicable section of the Covington Municipal Code. This determination of completeness shall be made when the application is sufficient for continued processing even though additional information may be required or project modifications may be undertaken subsequently. The City’s determination of completeness shall not preclude the City from requesting additional information or studies either at the time of the notice of completeness or at some later time, if new information is required or where there are substantial changes in the proposed action.

(4) Incomplete Application Procedure. For applications deemed to be incomplete, the Department will identify, in writing, the specific requirements or information necessary to constitute a complete application. The applicant will have one 60-day period to submit the required additional information. Upon submittal of the additional information, the Department will, within 14 days, issue a letter of completeness or identify what additional is required. If the additional information is not submitted within the 60-day period, the process will be terminated and the applicant will be required to submit a new application and fees.

(5) City’s Failure to Provide Determination of Completeness. An application shall be deemed complete if:

(a) The Department fails to provide written notice to the applicant within the 28-day period after the City initially receives the application; or

(b) The Department fails to provide written notice to the applicant within the 14-day period after submission of additional information required under subsection (4) of this section.

(6) Date of Acceptance of Application. When the project permit application is complete, the Director shall accept it and note the date of acceptance.

(7) The applicant shall designate a single person or entity to receive determination and notices required by this chapter. The single person or entity shall also be the designee for any contact regarding permit activity. (Ord. 02-09 § 3)
