§ 17.868.020 — Application requirements

17.868.020 Application requirements.

A. Administrative permit. A development project consisting of both a housing development and a subdivision map will be granted an administrative permit if it complies with the requirements of this chapter, except as provided in subsection F. An application made pursuant to this chapter must include both a housing development and subdivision map. B. Conflicting laws. In the case of a conflict between the standards in this chapter and standards set forth in California Government Code sections 65852.28 and 66499.41, the provisions of the California Government Code prevail. C. Approval or denial. An application submitted pursuant to this chapter must either be approved or denied within 60 days from the date the city receives a complete application. If denied, the city shall provide the applicant with a written list of items that are defective or deficient and a description of how the applicant can remedy the application. D. Deemed approval. If the city does not deny the application in accordance with subsection C above, the project will be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this chapter and will be granted an administrative permit and administratively-approved tentative map. E. Time to resubmit. Notwithstanding section 17.800.050, if an application for an administrative permit under this chapter is denied pursuant to subsection C above, a new application may be filed at any time. F. Findings for denial. An application made pursuant to this chapter may be denied for reasons unrelated to noncompliance with the requirements of this chapter if, based upon a preponderance of the evidence, the city determines the proposed housing development project or subdivision map would have a specific, adverse impact (as defined in California Government Code section 65589.5, subdivision (d)(2)), upon public health and safety for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impact.
