17.176.060 Certificate of Completeness.

Within a reasonable period of time not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days after the receipt of an application for a Certificate of Designation pursuant to the Act and these regulations, the County shall:

A. Inform the applicant in writing of any deficiencies in the application in view of the requirements of the Act and these regulations, shall state with reasonable specificity each deficiency in the application and shall refer the applicant to the corresponding sections of the Act and/or these regulations addressing the matters in question; or

B. Issue the applicant a written notice entitled “Certificate of Completeness” signed by the Director of Planning and Development certifying that the application is complete in accordance with the requirements of the Act and these regulations.

In the case of a County authorized phased project, the County shall inform the applicant of deficiencies or issue a Certificate of Completeness for each phase proposed in a separate application or as an amendment to the original permit.

In the event that an applicant is notified of deficiencies pursuant to subsection A. of this Section, it shall have a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of its receipt of the notice to correct the deficiency in the application. If the applicant is unable to correct the deficiency within that one hundred and eighty day period, it may request an extension of time within which to make that correction, and such requests shall be granted by the County if good cause is shown. In the event that no Certificate of Completeness is issued to the applicant by the conclusion of that one hundred and eighty (180) day period, and no extension for good cause has been granted, then the application shall lapse and no further action shall be taken by the County with regard thereto.

Upon the date of the issuance of a Certificate of Completeness the one hundred and eighty (180) day review period specified in C.R.S. 25-15-505(1) shall begin. The County may approve or disapprove an application at any time within that one hundred and eighty (180) day period, and the applicant may request an expedited review by the County. The issuance of a Certificate of Completeness shall not serve as the basis of an inference, nor shall it give rise to a presumption of approval of the Certificate of Designation.
