This article is included in your selections.
This section is included in your selections.

(1) A complete application for a substantial development, conditional use, or variance permit shall contain, as a minimum, all of the information required in any applicable section of this Program, all of the information required in CCC 26.10.310, and any other information the Administrator deems pertinent, including at a minimum:

(a) The name, address, and phone number of the applicant/proponent, applicant’s representative, and/or property owner if different from the applicant/proponent.

(b) The property address and identification of the section, township and range to the nearest quarter, quarter section, or longitude and latitude to the nearest minute.

(c) The name of the shoreline (water body) that the site of the proposal is associated with.

(d) A general description of the property as it exists at the time of application including its use, physical and ecological characteristics, improvements and structures.

(e) A general description of the project vicinity including adjacent uses, structures and improvements, development intensity, and physical characteristics.

(f) A vicinity map showing the relationship of the property and proposed development or use to roads, utilities, existing developments and uses on adjacent properties.

(g) A site plan and/or engineered drawings identifying existing conditions, consisting of photographs, text, maps and elevation drawings, drawn to an appropriate scale to clearly depict all required information.

(h) Location of the ordinary high water mark of all water bodies within or adjacent to the project boundary. For any development that requires a precise location of the ordinary high water mark, the applicant/proponent shall provide a survey and describe the biological and hydrological basis for the location as indicated on the plans. Where the ordinary high water mark is neither adjacent to nor within the boundary of the project, the plan shall indicate the distance and direction to the ordinary high water mark of the adjacent shoreline.

(i) Existing land contours at intervals sufficient to accurately determine the existing character of the property. Areas within the project boundary that will not be altered by the development may be indicated as such and contours approximated for that area.

(j) A summary characterization of the effects of the project on existing ecological functions and processes in the vicinity of the project. If the project is likely to have adverse impacts on shoreline ecological functions or processes, a mitigation plan meeting the requirements of CCC 35.40.030 shall be provided demonstrating measures that will be taken to offset impacts and achieve no net loss.

(k) On all variance applications, the plans shall clearly indicate where development could occur without approval of a variance, the physical features and circumstances on the property that provide a basis for the request, and the location of adjacent structures and use.

(l) On all conditional use permit applications, the proponent shall provide information demonstrating that the proposal meets the conditional use permit criteria listed in CCC 35.50.040.

(m) Identify known restoration sites and any listed restoration project opportunities within the Countywide Shoreline Restoration Plan (as amended), and also any proposed, pending/in-progress or completed restoration projects listed on the State Habitat Work Schedule for (HWS) and Project Information System (PRISM) online databases, that either occur on or adjacent to the lot associated with the proposed development, or that may be impacted by the proposed development.

(2) Where other approvals or permits are required for a use or development that does not require an open record hearing, such approvals or permits shall not be granted until a shoreline approval or permit is granted. All shoreline approvals and permits shall include written findings prepared by the Administrator documenting compliance with bulk and dimensional standards and other policies and regulations of this Program.
