Beaumont Municipal Code Art. III Permit Applications

The City shall upon initial submission provide the applicant with a list of all permits and standards needed to develop the project. A sample, Attachment 1, is on file with the ordinance codified in this title.

(Ord. 560 §6 (part), 1983)

For any application received on or after January 1, 1983, a written determination must be made within 30 days or else application shall be deemed complete for purposes of the Permit Streamlining Act. This means that the time limits shall begin to run after the thirtieth day if the public agency has not determined in writing whether the application is complete or incomplete. (Reference, Government Code Section 65943.)

(Ord. 560 §6 (part), 1983)

In the event the application is determined not to be complete, the agency's determination shall specify those parts of the application which are incomplete and shall indicate the manner in which they can be made complete.

(Ord. 560 §6 (part), 1983)

The City shall assist the applicant to make the application complete within 30 days after receiving the application. The determination whether an application is complete or incomplete may be made by agency staff, and should be transmitted to the address of the applicant indicated on the application form.

(Ord. 560 §6 (part), 1983)

A. After the City accepts an application as complete, the agency shall not subsequently request of an applicant any new or additional information which was not required as part of the application originally determined to be complete. However, the City may, in the course of processing the application, request the applicant to clarify, amplify, correct, or otherwise supplement the information required for the original complete application. Making a request for supplemental information does not waive, extend or delay the time limits prescribed in this chapter for a decision on the completed application.

B. This section shall not be construed as requiring an applicant to submit with the initial application all of the information which shall be required in order to take final action on such application. Prior to accepting an application, the City shall inform the applicant in writing of any information which will subsequently be required from the applicant in order to complete final action on such application. However, the application shall contain enough information for the lead agency to prepare an Initial Study under CEQA.

C. This section shall not be construed as limiting the ability of the City to request and obtain information which may be needed in order to comply with the provisions of CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act). Therefore, the City shall request, and the applicant then shall supply, any additional information needed to prepare adequate environmental documents as identified by the City, responsible agencies, commenting agencies, and agencies with jurisdiction by law (as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act) and the general public to assure that the environmental review process can be utilized to shape the design of a project. Further, some of the environmental data needed for decision on a permit may be gathered during the review process rather than supplied with the initial application.
