16.03.070 Permit filing procedures.
After all local permit administrative appeals or reconsideration periods are complete and the permit documents are amended to incorporate any resulting changes, the city will mail the permit using return receipt requested mail to the Department of Ecology regional office and the office of the Attorney General. Projects that require both conditional use permits and or variances must be mailed simultaneously with any substantial development permits for the project.
(1) The permit and documentation of the final local decision will be mailed together with the complete permit application; a findings and conclusions letter; a permit data form (cover sheet); and applicable SEPA documents.
(2) Consistent with RCW 90.58.140(6), the state's Shorelines Hearings Board twenty-one-day appeal period starts with the date of filing, which is defined below:
(A) For projects that only require a substantial development permit: the date that Ecology receives the city's decision.
(B) For a conditional use permit (CUP) or variance: the date that Ecology's decision on the CUP or variance is transmitted to the applicant and the city.
(C) For SDPs simultaneously mailed with a CUP or variance to Ecology: the date that Ecology's decision on the CUP or variance is transmitted to the applicant and the city. (Ord. 2123, § 1 (Att.), 2021.)
