A. Whenever an applicant receives a determination from the city that additional information is needed to review a complete application or that revisions are necessary to reach code compliance, the applicant shall have 90 days to submit the necessary information or revisions, or request a decision on the application. If the applicant responds in writing and indicates that more than 90 days is required to provide the additional information or revisions, the director may accept a reasonable timeline for submittal of all information requested or revisions.

B. If the applicant does not submit the information requested or revisions within the 90-day period, request a decision on the application or provide a submittal timeline acceptable to the director, the director shall send a certified letter to the applicant requesting the applicant to submit the information or revisions within 30 days or as otherwise determined by the director.

C. If the applicant does not submit the information requested or revisions within the 30-day period, the director shall make findings and issue a decision, according to the Type I procedure described in GHMC 19.01.003, that the application has expired for lack of information necessary to complete the review. The decision shall state that no further action will be taken on the expired application and that if the applicant does not make arrangements to pick up the application materials within 30 days from the date of the decision, the application materials may be destroyed.

D. Any associated project permit applications, concurrency applications or concurrency reservation certificates shall also expire if the underlying project permit application expires.

E. When the director determines that an application has expired, the applicant may request a refund of the application fee remaining as provided for in the city’s fee schedule.

F. Expiration of an application does not preclude the applicant from submitting new, complete project permit and concurrency applications which are substantially similar to the expired application. (Ord. 1197 § 96, 2010).
