Existing & Historic Use Pending Permits

Notice to Public.  The District shall publish notice of the recommended proposed permits or denials and make such recommendations available for public review and inspection.  Any applicant or any affected party shall have ninety (90) calendar days from the date of the notice to file a request for hearing.

Rule 9.12.10:  The Board shall consider the proposed Existing and Historic Use permit application and any other evidence presented by an applicant or an affected party prior to making its decision.

Protestants.  A person desiring to  protest an application for Existing and Historic Use Permit shall file with the District a notice of protest no later than 15 days after newspaper notice, and shall serve the notice of protest on the applicant at the time of filing.  The notice of protest shall set forth the protestant's justiciable interest and how that justiciable interest would be adversely affected by the permit proposed by the application.  The Board may take testimony and shall deliberate and take official action at the hearing to determine whether the protestant has sufficiently demonstrated their justiciable interest and how that justiciable interest would be adversely affected by the permit proposed by the application.  If the Board finds that a protestant does not adequately establish that its justiciable interest is affected by the proposed permit, then the protestant shall not be allowed to participate in the hearing.
