§ 9171.3. Interchangeability.

From the standpoint of the applicant, there may be two (2) or more alternative procedures under which a specific result might be obtained. (For example, the permission to establish a given use on a parcel of land might, under appropriate circumstances, be accomplished by a change in the text of the use regulations, by a change in the zoning classification of the property, by a Conditional Use Permit or by an Interpretation of the regulations.) In some cases it is not possible to determine the most appropriate procedure until the facts of the case have been developed, subsequent to the filing of an application. In order to avoid the necessity of multiple filings and/or repetitive processing under different procedures, it is hereby provided that an application or other initiation of action under any of the procedures authorized in this Part may be construed as an application or initiation of action under any and all of the other procedures authorized in this Part; provided, that, for each and every action taken, the procedural steps required for that action have been accomplished and the applicable fees paid. Nothing in this Section shall preclude an applicant from initiating, by means of separate application, any and all alternative procedures available.
