A. Required public hearings on a permit application shall be combined if the applicant so requests, as long as the joint hearing can be held within the time periods set forth in this title. In the alternative, the applicant may agree to a different schedule which requires additional time in order to combine the hearings.

B. Prerequisites to Combined Public Hearing. A combined public hearing may be held with another local, state, regional, federal or other agency and the city, as long as:

1. The other agency is not expressly prohibited by statute from doing so;

2. Sufficient notice of the hearing is given to meet each of the agencies’ adopted notice requirements as set forth in statute, ordinance, or rule;

3. The agency has received the necessary information about the proposed project from the applicant in enough time to hold its hearing at the same time as the local government hearing. (Ord. 98-66 § 1 (part), 1998).
