SECTION 28.13. Permitting Assistance Services

Upon the request of an applicant, the permitting assistance coordinator shall provide the following:

(1) A list of the permits or other approvals necessary for the proposed activity. This list informs the applicant of which permitting agencies or subdivisions must review and approve the proposed activity.

(2) A simple, understandable statement of all permit or approval requirements. This statement gives the applicant an initial indication of how the proposed activity should be designed, carried out, or maintained to receive the permits or approvals.

(3) A coordinated schedule for each agency or subdivision's decision on the permit applications or other approvals. This schedule informs the applicant of the general timeline and sequence in which the permitting agencies or subdivisions will likely review the proposed activity and grant or deny the applications for permits or other approvals.

(4) A list of all information the agencies or subdivisions need to declare the applications for the permits or other approvals administratively complete. This list informs the applicant of the project-specific information and data that must be collected and included in each application before the permitting agencies or subdivisions can begin the review and approval process.

(5) Assistance in completing the applications as needed. This gives the applicant the opportunity to obtain explanations or clarifications about the information or data specifically required for each application and how to complete and submit each application.
