B.
Consistency
Review Procedure for Activities Requiring Federal Permits or Licenses.
1.
Applicants for activities in Warrenton's coastal zone which require
a federal permit or license shall submit to the Community Development
Director a copy of the completed permit application, other supporting
material provided to the permit granting agency, and a set of findings
which demonstrate that the development would be consistent with the
applicable elements of the Comprehensive Plan and this Code.
2.
If the activity requires a local permit, the applicant shall apply
for the local permit under the established permit program. Approval
of the permit shall constitute a ruling that the action is consistent
with the applicable elements of the Comprehensive Plan and Development
Code. If the action does not require a local permit, the Community
Development Director may make an investigation to provide information
on the project's conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and Development
Code standards and provisions. The investigation can be done administratively
or through public hearings.
3.
The Community Development Director shall respond to state or federal
permit granting agency within seven working days of the local actions.
The response shall contain a statement of whether the permit is consistent
with the applicable elements of the Comprehensive Plan, the reasons
development is or is not consistent, standards and conditions which
apply if the permit is granted, and the need for local permits for
developments associated with the activity.
C.
Consistency
Review Procedure for Federal Activities and Development Projects.
1.
Federal activities in the coastal zone are not subject to the established
local permit procedures. Federal activities which directly affect
the coastal zone of the City must be consistent, to the maximum extent
practicable, with the coastal zone management program. The coastal
zone management program includes the Comprehensive Plan and Development
Code. The federal consistency determination is reviewed by the Oregon
Department of Land Conservation and Development.
2.
Consistency determinations for federal activities shall be reviewed
for conformance with the mandatory enforceable policies of the Comprehensive
Plan and Development Code. The review may be done administratively
or through public hearings. The federal agency has the option of applying
for a local permit to demonstrate consistency with the Comprehensive
Plan and Development Code. The Community Development Director shall
communicate concurrence or disagreement with the consistency determination,
and recommendations on conditions of project approval, to the Oregon
Department of Land Conservation Department within 21 days of receiving
the notice for reviewing the federal consistency determination.
D.
Outer
Continental Shelf Activities. Federally licensed or permitted activities
described in outer continental shelf plans and which affect Warrenton's
coastal zone shall be conducted in a manner consistent with the coastal
zone management program. The applicant's consistency certification
is reviewed by the Department of Land Conservation and Development.
The Community Development Director may review these activities for
consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and Development Code. The
review may be done administratively or through public hearings. The
Community Development Director may communicate concurrence or disagreement
with the consistency certification to the Oregon Department of Land
Conservation and Development within the time specified on the Oregon
Department of Land Conservation and Development notice for the activities.
E.
Federal
Grants and Financial Assistance. Federal financial assistance or grants
to state agencies, cities, counties, special purpose districts, or
regional bodies, for activities which affect the coastal zone shall
be granted only when the activities are consistent with the coastal
zone management program. The Community Development Director may review
the grants and financial assistance for consistency with the Comprehensive
Plan and Development Code. The review may be done administratively
or through public hearings. The Community Development Director may
communicate its review findings to the Intergovernmental Relations
Division Clearinghouse within the time specified on the Clearinghouse
notice.
