HB 1519: Local project review

Concerning local project review.

Summary

  • Provides that a project permit application is complete if it meets the procedural submission requirements of the local government as outlined on the project permit application.
  • Provides default permit processing deadlines for local governments that do not, by ordinance or resolution, adopt different deadlines.
  • Provides for the calculation of time periods related to permit processing deadlines and determinations of completeness.
  • Requires local governments to provide refunds of permitting fees if permitting deadlines are missed, with a refund of either 10 percent or 20 percent of the fee, depending on by how long the deadline was missed.
  • Provides optional additional project review provisions which, if at least three provisions are adopted, exempt the local government from the requirement to provide refunds if a permit processing deadline is missed.
