before any building permits are issued. All buildings must comply with applicable building codes

Applicant Deferral/Withdrawal Policy: It is the policy of the Planning Commission that any requests to
defer their consideration of a rezoning application be submitted to the Planning Director in writing prior to
the scheduled public hearing. If an applicant requests deferral or withdrawal after processing has
begun, fees are non-refundable. Applicants requesting a deferral will be charged the cost of preparing
and mailing new notices of public hearing. Applicants may not defer an application for a period
exceeding three (3) months from the original Planning Commission public hearing date of said
application. Any application not considered before the three (3) month deferral timeframe will be
required to submit a new application, along with any required fees, and will be subject to the regulations
in effect at that time.
