(1) Hearings shall be scheduled by the Examiner to ensure that final decisions are issued within the time periods provided in Chapter 14.30 CMC. During periods of time when the volume of permit activity is high, the Examiner shall retain one or more Pro Tem Examiners to ensure that the 120-day time period for final decisions is met.

(2) Appeals shall be processed by the Examiner as expeditiously as possible, giving appropriate consideration to the procedural due process rights of the parties. Unless a longer period is agreed to by the parties, or the Examiner determines that the size and scope of the project is so compelling that a longer period is required, a prehearing conference or a public hearing shall occur within 45 days from the date the office of the Hearing Examiner is notified that a complete statement of appeal has been filed. In such cases where the Examiner has determined that the size and scope warrant such an extension, the reason for the deferral shall be stated in the Examiner’s recommendation or decision. The time period may be extended by the Examiner at the Examiner’s discretion for not more than 30 days. (Ord. 01-09 § 2)
