Notes:

1
|
When multiple permits are required for the same project, the applications shall be reviewed, and approved or denied by the highest Review Authority, see Section 17.504.030(E)(2).
|
2
|
When the Director finds that a decision is beyond his or her purview of authority, when unique or special circumstances exist, or for any other reason in the Director's discretion, the application may be forwarded to the Commission for its determination. Also, depending on the required environmental review (Section 17.504.070), higher level Review Authority may be required. As defined in Chapter 17.704 (Definitions of Terms), Director includes the Director's designee.

If Commission recommends a denial, the application will not proceed to Council unless an appeal is filed (see Chapter 17.612 (Appeals)).

Certificates of Appropriateness are separated into Director and Commission review (see Section 17.516.040 (Review, Notice, and Hearing)).
