Revisions to permits
Seattle Mun. Code § 23.60A.076
in effectA. If an applicant seeks to revise a permit, the applicant shall submit detailed plans and text describing the proposed changes. B. If the Director determines that the proposed changes are within the scope and intent of the original permit as defined in WAC 173-27-100(2), the Director shall approve the revision with conditions to address any new impacts from the proposed changes. Within eight days of the date of approval, the approved revision, along with copies of the revised site plan and text, shall be transmitted to Ecology, the Attorney General, and copies provided to parties of record and to persons who have previously notified the Director of their desire to receive notice of decision on the original application. C. Revisions to permits may be authorized after original permit authorization has expired under RCW 90.58.143. The purpose of such revisions shall be limited to authorization of changes that are consistent with this Section 23.60A.076 and that would not require a permit for the development or change proposed under the terms of RCW 90.58, WAC 173-27 and this Chapter 23.60A. If the proposed change constitutes substantial development then a new permit is required. Provided, this Section 23.60A.076 shall not be used to extend the time requirements or to authorize substantial development beyond the time limits of the original permit. D. If the sum of the revision and any previously approved revisions under former WAC 173-14-064 or this Section 23.60A.076 are not within the scope of the permit under subsection 23.60A.076.B, the applicant shall apply for a new permit. E. If the Director determines that the proposed changes are not within the scope and intent of the original permit, the applicant shall apply for a new permit in the manner provided for in this Chapter 23.60A . F. If the revision to the original permit involves a shoreline conditional use or shoreline variance, the Director shall submit the revision to Ecology for Ecology's approval, approval with conditions or denial, indicating that the revision is being submitted pursuant to WAC 173-27-100(6). Ecology shall render and transmit to the City and the applicant Ecology's final decision within 15 days of the date of Ecology's receipt of the submittal by the Director, who shall notify parties of record of Ecology's final decision. G. The revised permit is effective immediately upon final action by the Director, or if appropriate under WAC 173-27-100(6), by Ecology. H. Appeals shall be in accordance with RCW 90.58.180 and shall be filed with the State Shoreline Hearings Board within 21 days from date of Ecology's receipt of the revision approved by the Director, or if the revision is to a shoreline conditional use or variance, from the date Ecology's final decision is transmitted to the City and the applicant. Appeals shall be based solely upon contentions of noncompliance with the provisions of WAC 173-27-100(2). Construction undertaken pursuant to that portion of a revised permit not authorized under the original permit is at the applicant's own risk until the expiration of the appeals deadline. If an appeal is successful in proving that a revision is not within the scope and intent of the original permit, the decision shall have no bearing on the original permit. The party seeking review has the burden of proving the revision was not within the scope and intent of the original permit. (Ord. 124105 , § 3, 2013.)
