A. Administration. This chapter shall be administered and enforced by the Gig Harbor building official/fire marshal or his/her designee.

B. Exemption from Project Permit Processing. Pursuant to RCW 36.70B.140, the processing of a base plan is exempt from RCW 36.70B.060 through 36.70B.090 and 36.70B.110 through 36.70B.130. This means that the city is not required to utilize the following procedures in the processing of a base plan: (1) optional consolidated permit process; (2) issuance of a determination of completeness; (3) notice of application; (4) no more than one open record hearing and one closed record appeal; (5) notice of decision; (6) issuance of a final decision within a deadline established by the city; (7) identification of elements of complete application. Because the review of a base plan is not associated with any particular parcel of property, SEPA review is not performed at the base plan stage and, if SEPA applies, will be performed at the time a building permit application is submitted. (Ord. 1387 § 1, 2018; Ord. 1041 § 1, 2006).
