application will be deemed complete for processing. Your project
planner will contact you with details (see the Earlier Notification

copy of the permit and findings are sent to the applicant, and an
announcement of the proposed action is published in a
newspaper, posted on the site, and sent to owners of all
property within 300 feet of the site, fourteen calendar days
before the permit takes effect.

The applicant may appeal the Planning Director's decision on
any level of application. Any interested person may appeal Level
4 and higher decisions. (See the "Planning Appeals"
brochure.)FOR MORE INFORMATION
