A. 
Project permit decisions are classified into five types, based on the degree of discretion associated with each decision, as set forth in this section. Procedures for the five different types are distinguished according to who makes the decision, whether public notice is required, whether a public meeting and/or a public hearing is required before a decision is made, and whether administrative appeals are provided.
1. 
Type 1 Decisions are made by City administrators who have technical expertise, as designated by ordinance. Type 1 decisions may be appealed to the Hearing Examiner who will hold a closed record appeal hearing based on the information presented to the City administrator who made the decision.

A. 
Except as provided in TMC Section 21.04.280, no administrative appeals of procedural and substantive SEPA decisions shall be permitted. In any case in which an administrative appeal of a procedural or substantive SEPA decision is made, the hearing on such appeal shall be consolidated with the hearing on the merits of the underlying permit(s).
(Ord. 2741 § 4 (part), 2024)
A. 
Applicants shall have the right to request that all permit applications related to a single project be processed as a consolidated permit application.
B. 
All permits included in consolidated permit applications that would require more than one Type of land use decision process, shall be processed together, including any administrative appeals, using the highest numbered land use decision Type applicable to the project application; except that decisions on Type 1 applications shall still be made by the responsible administrative agency or officer and shall not be subject to administrative review or appeal.
(Ord. 2741 § 4 (part), 2024)
A. 
Land use permits that are categorically exempt from review under the State Environmental Policy Act ("SEPA") will not require a threshold determination. For all other projects, the SEPA review procedures codified in TMC Chapter 21.04 are supplemental to the procedures set forth in TMC Chapter 18.104.
(Ord. 2741 § 4 (part), 2024)
A. 
A pre-application conference shall be required prior to filing a permit application when the permit type is identified in a guidance document maintained by the department. When a pre-application conference is not required, an applicant may voluntarily request one.
B. 
The purpose of the pre-application conference is to assist the applicant in understanding the applicable regulations, required permits, submittal expectations, and any known site constraints such as critical areas.
C. 
The department shall schedule the pre-application conference in a timely manner once a complete request is submitted on forms provided by the department, along with any required fee set forth in the City’s fee resolution, which shall be amended from time to time. Staff from other affected City departments or agencies may attend as determined necessary by the department.
D. 
For permits that require a pre-application conference, the City will not accept an application under this chapter unless the applicant attended a pre-application conference under this section within six (6) months immediately prior to the date of application submittal.
E. 
Applicants shall be charged a fee for the pre-application conference. If a permit application is submitted within six (6) months of the pre-application conference and the project scope remains consistent with what was presented, the pre-application fee shall be credited toward the permit application fee.
F. 
Pre-application conferences do not vest the applicant’s rights to any regulations in effect on the date of the conference.
(Ord. 2741 § 4 (part), 2024; Ord. 2759 § 4, 2025)
A. 
The following standards for permit applications are established:
1. 
Applications shall be made by the property owner, lessee, contract purchaser, governmental agency, or by an authorized agent thereof. The Department shall not commence review of any application set forth in this chapter until the applicant has submitted the materials and fees specified for complete applications. Applications shall be considered complete upon determination by the Department that the materials submitted meet the requirements of this section and the listed application requirements on application forms made available by the Department. Except as provided in Subsection 2 of this section, all land use permit applications shall include the following:
a. 
An application form provided by the Department and completed by the applicant. The applicant shall be allowed to file a consolidated application for all land use project permits requested by the applicant for the development proposal at the time the application is filed.
b. 
The appropriate application and public notice mailing fee based on the official fee schedule.
c. 
All items listed on official application forms made available by the Department for each permit.
2. 
The Director may waive any of the specific submittal requirements listed in this section that are determined to be unnecessary for review of an application.
3. 
A permit application is complete for purposes of this section when it meets the procedural submission requirements of the Department and is sufficient for continued processing even though additional information may be required or project modifications may be subsequently undertaken. The determination of completeness shall not preclude the Department from requesting additional information or studies either at the time of notice of completeness or subsequently if new or additional information is required or substantial changes in the proposed action occur, as determined by the Department.
4. 
The applicant shall attest by written oath to the accuracy of all information submitted for an application. The Department shall have the authority to require the applicant to submit a title report or other proof of ownership of the property or other proof of the applicant’s authority to submit an application regarding the property.
(Ord. 2741 § 4 (part), 2024)
A. 
Within 28 calendar days following receipt of a permit application, the Department shall send written notice to the applicant that the application is either complete or incomplete. If the application is incomplete, the notice shall state with specificity what is necessary to make the application complete. To the extent known by the Department, the notice shall identify other agencies of local, state, regional or federal governments that may have jurisdiction over some aspect of the development proposal.
B. 
An application shall be deemed complete under this section if the Department does not provide written notice to the applicant that the application is incomplete within the 28-day period as provided herein.
C. 
If the application is incomplete and the applicant submits the additional information requested by the Department, the Department shall send written notice to the applicant, within 14 days following the receipt of the additional information, whether the application is complete or what further information, specified by the Department as provided in TMC Section 18.104.070A, is necessary to make the application complete. An application shall be deemed complete if the Department fails to provide written notice to the applicant within such 14-day period that the application is incomplete.
D. 
An application shall be conclusively deemed to be complete on the Department's issuance of a notice of complete application as provided in Subsections A or C hereof, or the expiration of the time periods for issuance of such a notice as provided in Subsections B or C hereof.
E. 
The Department shall cancel an incomplete application if the applicant fails to submit the additional information required by TMC Section 18.104.070A or 18.104.070C within 90 days following notification from the Department that the application is incomplete. The Department may extend this cancellation date up to 120 additional days if the applicant submits a written request for an extension prior to cancellation. The request must clearly demonstrate that the delay is due to circumstances beyond the applicant’s control (such as the need for seasonal wetland data) or unusual circumstances not typically faced by other applicants, and that a good faith effort has been made to provide the requested materials.
F. 
The fact that an application is deemed complete pursuant to this section shall not, under any circumstances, prevent the City from subsequently requesting additional information or studies regarding any aspect of a proposed project which is deemed necessary to a complete review of the proposed project.
(Ord. 2741 § 4 (part), 2024)
A. 
A Notice of Application shall be issued by the Department for permits as set forth in TMC Chapter 18.104 within 14 days following the Department's determination that the application is complete.

Any person may comment in writing on the application during the public comment period, and may participate by submitting either written or oral testimony, or both, at any hearings, and may request a copy of the decision once made. The Notice shall specify any appeal procedures that apply to the permit application.
6. 
The date, time place and type of hearing, if applicable and scheduled at the time of notice.
7. 
The identification of all other related permits not included, to the extent known by the Department.

4. 
The Department shall have the discretion to determine that removal of the notice board prior to the end of the notice period, or failure to maintain it in good condition, is cause for discontinuance of review of the application until the notice board is replaced and remains in place for a specified time period.

2. 
Renewal Period:
The Building Official may grant one 30-day extension to an expired development permit for the purpose of performing a final inspection and closing out the development permit, provided not more than 90 days have passed since the permit expired.
