[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Bloomfield 6-2011 (Ch. 32 of
the 2016 Code). Amendments noted where applicable.]
A.
If an application is received from a person or agency that is not
the property owner, a notarized, written notice must be submitted
to the Planning Board from the property owner designating the agent
responsible for the application and be included with the application.
If the agent representing the applicant changes during the course
of the review, a written, notarized notice of such change must be
received by the Planning Board. The authority to represent the applicant
will rest with the prior agent until such notification is received.
B.
If an agency is the property owner, a responsible agent must be named
on the application. If the agent representing the applicant changes
during the course of the review, a written, notarized notice of such
change must be received by the Planning Board. The authority to represent
the applicant will rest with the prior agent until such notification
is received.
A.
A completed application with all forms, maps and materials, as described in Chapter 135, Zoning, for the respective type of application review must be submitted in order to be placed on the meeting agenda for discussion.
B.
The completed application must be submitted to the Code Enforcement
Office at least two weeks prior to the scheduled Planning Board meeting
so that it can be forwarded to the Village Clerk/Treasurer at least
10 days prior to the scheduled meeting in order for it to be placed
on the meeting agenda. The Planning Board members must receive the
application at least one week prior to the scheduled meeting.
C.
At the next scheduled meeting of the Planning Board, the Planning
Board will determine if the application is complete.
(1)
A "complete application" is defined as one that contains all of the
information that the Planning Board deems to be necessary in order
to render a decision on the application.
(2)
If the application is deemed to be incomplete, the Planning Board
will issue a letter to the applicant requesting additional information
and/or documentation.
(3)
No action will be taken on the application, and no time clock will
be started, until the Planning Board deems the application complete.
A.
Once the Planning Board has determined that the application is complete,
the Planning Board will verify the application's status under SEQR
(Type I, Type II, or Unlisted Action) and will notify the applicant
of any further documentation required to complete the SEQR process.
B.
The SEQR process must be completed prior to rendering a decision
on the application.
Although the Planning Board may choose to do so, it is not required
to render a decision on an application at the same meeting that the
application is deemed complete. The Planning Board may consult with
outside agencies and experts before rendering a decision.
[Added 4-27-2022 by L.L. No. 1-2022]
The Zoning Board of Appeals shall review all variances unless
the Zoning Board of Appeals requests variance review by the Planning
Board.
