Solano County Zoning Code § 28.101 Administrative Permit

• A. Purpose . For some uses allowed by right within a zoning district, this Chapter requires issuance of an administrative permit prior to development or operation of the use on an ownership. The purpose of an administrative permit is to provide for a mechanism for verifying that all standards and requirements for the use, as described in this Chapter or elsewhere in the Code, are met prior to commencement of the use and can continue to be met during operation of the use.

• B. Application. Application for an administrative permit shall be made by the owner or the owner’s agent in writing on a form prescribed by the Director of Resource Management, and shall include all information necessary to support issuance of the permit. Such application shall not be accepted unless accompanied by a fee or fees as may be set by the Board of Supervisors pursuant to Section 11-111.

• C. Action . The Director of Resource Management shall administratively approve an application for an administrative permit if all standards and requirements specified in this Chapter and

elsewhere in the Code are satisfied. Action on an administrative permit is ministerial and shall be taken without notice or public hearing.

D. Revocation .

1. In any case where the requirements of an administrative permit have not been complied with, or where the use has been abandoned, the Zoning Administrator may revoke the permit after first conducting a public hearing.

2. The permittee shall be given notice of intention to revoke the permit at least fifteen days prior to the Zoning Administrator’s hearing. Formal rules of evidence shall not apply to revocation proceedings, and witnesses need not be sworn, but the permittee shall be given an opportunity to respond to any evidence or testimony presented at the hearing. After conclusion of the review, the Zoning Administrator may revoke the administrative permit based on a finding that the conditions of the permit have not been complied with or that the use has been abandoned.

• E. Appeal. Appeal from the action of the Zoning Administrator on an administrative permit may be made according to the provisions of Section 28.112.
