APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS & CHECKLIST

Applications submitted to the Maricopa County Planning and Development Department shall

include all of the exhibits, items and information listed in this checklist. An application will only

be accepted by the Department when all of the items listed below are submitted, unless

otherwise deemed unnecessary by staff. Applications determined to be incomplete shall not

be processed by staff. Additional information, detail, and/or copies may be required after

review by the assigned planner.

After it has been determined that the initial submittal is complete, the filing fee per Zoning

Ordinance requirement is to be paid by the owner or owner’s authorized a gent (checks

should be made payable to “Maricopa County Planning and Development”). A receipt will

then be issued and a case number assigned.

As of September 13, 2013, the Land Use application process shall be subject ARS § 1605, a State

statute that mandates establishment of timeframes to either approve or deny a “license”

as defined by the statute. The full statute may be viewed at:

http://www.azleg.gov/arstitle/

The statute sets up two types of review timeframes: Administrative and Substantive. The Board

of Supervisors (BOS) through the P-30 Licensing Timeframes Ordinance has adopted a 25 day

administrative timeframe and a 75 substantive timeframe for Land Use applications. An

application related to a residential use is not subject to the statute. An application that is

part of design build project may establish negotiated time process during the pre-

application meeting.

Administrative Review Period

The statutes allow for multiple reviews during the administrative review period.

Substantive Review Period

Only one review is allowed for the substantive review period. The County can amend the

substantive review comments to address legal requirements not identified on the original

substantive review comments.

The applicant can authorizes a 50% time increase. This authorization can be given at time

of application or at any time during the process.

After receipt of an application, the administrative review period begins and staff will review for

administrative completeness. The applicant will receive a formal response from their assigned

planner and may be required to submit additional information. Once administrative comments

have been given to the applicant, the timeframe clock will stop and will resume upon

resubmittal of the application materials. Once the application is deemed administratively

complete, the planner will formally notify the applicant that the project has entered the

substantive review period and technical comments will be given to the applicant within a

reasonable timeframe. The substantive timeframe clock stops from receipt of comments until

the applicant makes a formal resubmittal.

At any time during the process, an applicant can check the status of their application by

viewing the Citizens Access Portal on the Planning and Developments website:

https://accela.maricopa.gov/CitizenAccessMCOSS/

The applicant’s assigned planner can also be utilized as a resource for checking application

status. If at any time comments are given to the applicant, a notation will be made as to the

administrative or substantive timeframe frame remaining which will not resume until a

resubmittal is made. Note: It is very important to return the planner’s comment memo

upon resubmittal so that the appropriate statutory timeframe can resume.

Depending on the comments received, the application materials may need revisions. The

owner or authorized agent must submit revised materials to the OSS. The applicant’s

resubmittal must meet the County’s technical requirement or it will be denied. Additionally,

an administrative decision of denial can be made if the Director finds that it is not possible to

grant the application within the timeframe or the applicant has not provided additional or

supplemental information within 180 days (not working days) of a written or electronic request

for said information.

Once staff is satisfied that technical requirements have been met, staff may approve or

deny the request. At this time, the substantive timeframe clock will stop. After a decision has

been made, a decision letter will be issued.

The conditions of approval of this Home Occupation may be appealed to the Hearing

Officer pursuant to ARS § 11-832. Provide request for appeal to the Hearing Officer Liaison

at this address within 30 calendar days of the administrative/ministerial approval date to

schedule an administrative hearing.

Note: If an applicant has not made a resubmittal of application materials in either

administrative or substantive review periods after six (6) months, the application will be

closed due to inactivity.
