performance of a condition of the application (including deadlines for obtaining permits that are ready for issuance) shall be either the time currently provided by code or the expiration of this interim Ordinance, whichever date is later, unless the specific time period is required by state law and cannot be waived. D. Application processing deadlines and timelines relating to project permit applications processed under EMC Title 15, including but not limited to requirements for issuing a notice of decision, are suspended and will be tolled while the Governor's emergency proclamations are in effect. Section 3. STATE LAW. The Council recognizes that in addition to the City's local ordinances and regulations there are associated state statutory deadlines and timelines in Chapters 36.70A, 36.70B, 43.21C, 58.17, and 90.58 RCW, among others, which the Council does not have the authority to waive or extend. If the Governor issues an emergency proclamation or other order providing relief from state statutory deadlines and other requirements for development projects, the Council authorizes the Planning Director, Building Official, Public Works Director, and/or Fire Marshal, as applicable, to implement or adopt any available measures or relief from those statutory deadlines and requirements provided such interpretations are temporary and consistent with the intent and purpose of this Ordinance. Section 4. DIRECTOR INTERPRETATIONS. Council further authorizes the Planning Director, Building Official, Public Works Director, and/or Fire Marshal, as applicable, to issue temporary procedural interpretations to address deadlines or other requirements related to development activities that were not specifically addressed in this Ordinance, provided such interpretations are temporary and consistent with the intent and purpose of this Ordinance. Section 5. PUBLIC HEARING. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.390, a public hearing on the interim official controls established by this Ordinance shall be held within sixty (60) days of the adoption of this Ordinance to hear and consider public comment. Section 6. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance, passed by at least a majority plus one of the whole membership of the City Council as a public emergency ordinance necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, property, or safety and for the immediate support of City government and its existing public institutions, shall be effective immediately upon its adoption as provided in RCW 35.63.200. Section 7. EXPIRATION. The City Council adopts this interim regulation under the authority of RCW 36.70A.390. Therefore, the interim controls adopted herein shall be in effect for a period of six (6) months from the effective date of this Ordinance and shall automatically expire after a period of six months, unless extended as provided by statute or otherwise superseded by action of Council, whichever occurs first. Because this is an interim ordinance only, it shall not be codified.
