Page 17
Exhibit B: Amendment 18-02
Amendments to KCC Title 15A regarding permit
expiration time limit
15A.03.045 Permit processing time.
1. Once an application has been deemed complete, the Director may request the applicant to submit additional
corrections, studies or other information on the proposed project. The Director shall set a reasonable
deadline for the submittal of corrections, studies or other information when requested, and shall provide
written notification of such requests to the applicant.
2. Failure by the applicant to meet such deadline shall be cause for the application to be void. However, an
extension of such deadline may be requested by an applicant if the request is made prior to the expiration of
the deadline. Extension requests shall be submitted in writing, include a justification of why an extension is
warranted, and include an extension fee, to be determined through resolution.
3. When considering a request for a deadline extension, the Director shall give consideration to the code
provisions to which the project is vested, if any. In order to assure equity in permit processing between past,
current, and future applicants, deadline extensions shall be limited to one extension after code provisions
affecting the project have changed. Once code provisions have changed as to make the vested code
substantially different than current code, a requested deadline extension of up to six months may be
granted, but it shall be the final extension granted. The Director shall determine whether code changes have
created substantially different regulations.
4. The Director shall provide a written, mailed response to the applicant with its decision on each extension
request.
