J. Public Awareness of Availability of EIS. Public notice shall be given as specified in Chapter 6, Section 2 of this Ordinance at the expense of the applicant. CHAPTER 6: PUBLIC NOTICE AND APPEALS The Director shall integrate the procedures in this chapter with the timing of the environmental review process set forth in Chapter 5, Section 7 of this Ordinance and any public and intergovernmental review to accomplish a single project review process. A. Informational Introduction. This overview is for general public information to assist in understanding the following sections and shall not be given regulatory effect. The process for most applications that involve public notice and review is generally as follows, subject to the specific requirements and exceptions set forth in this chapter. 1. Public Notice. Within 14 days after a complete application is filed ("determination of completeness"), public notice is given of the proposed project ("notice of application"). If a hearing is required on a project, this notice is given at least 15 days before the hearing. The method of notice depends on the type of permit and level of environmental review. 2. The notice should be read carefully. It will say whether there is an opportunity for a public hearing, or if you need to request one. It will also identify the environmental studies and where they are located for review. 3. This early notice usually indicates whether a significant adverse environmental impact is likely and/or the proposed measures to avoid or otherwise mitigate environmental impacts ("optional determination of nonsignificance"or "determination of significance/scoping notice"). The notice may also include a preliminary determination of consistency with City plans and regulations. 4. Public Comment Period. Public comments must be received by the City within 14 days. Certain actions also provide for longer or additional comment periods. 5. Notice of Decision. After most decisions by the City staff, Hearing Examiner, or Board of Adjustment—depending on the type of approval—a notice ("notice of decision") is provided to the applicant and to anyone who requested notice or commented substantively on the application. The notice of decision also describes the appeal procedure. 56
