Prior to any development within a special flood hazard area as defined in SCC 30.91D.250, a flood hazard permit shall be obtained. The department shall have the authority to approve, approve with conditions, or deny a flood hazard permit using a Type 1 administrative decision. The flood hazard permit is exempt from the notice provisions set forth in SCC 30.70.050 and SCC 30.70.060(2) except that the notice shall be provided in compliance with 30.70.045(4)(d) when applicable. If the permit is accompanied by a concurrent Type 2 application, the flood hazard permit application may, at the applicant’s request, be processed concurrently with the Type 2 permit application. In order to be considered concurrent, the Type 2 application must be submitted to the county at the same time as the flood hazard permit application.
