(1) The department shall consolidate permit review for all project permit applications for the same proposal when each application is subject to a predecision public hearing and where all permit applications have been submitted concurrently.

(2) If the applicant requests consolidated permit processing for applications that do not meet the requirements of SCC 30.70.120(1), applications may be consolidated when the department finds that consolidation would result in more efficient review and processing. If one or more of the permit applications is subject to the 120-day review time period established in SCC 30.70.110, all consolidated permit applications shall be reviewed within the 120-day period, except as provided in SCC 30.70.120(3).

(3) When a project permit application subject to a timeline requirement established in SCC 30.70.110 is consolidated with a project permit application that is exempt from the timeline requirement under SCC 30.70.110(3), the timeline requirement shall not apply.

(4) A project permit application being reviewed under the consolidated process is subject to all requirements of permit application submittal, notice, processing, and approval that would otherwise apply if the permit were being processed as a separate application.

(5) A final decision on certain consolidated permit applications may be preliminary and contingent upon approval of other permits or actions considered in the consolidated permit process. (Added by Amended Ord. 02-064, Dec. 9, 2002, Eff date Feb. 1, 2003).
