RESOLUTION NO. 3184
A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF TIBURON RATIFYING THE AUTHORITY OF
THE PLANNING DIRECTOR TO EXTEND
ARCHITECTURAL AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL UNDER
SPECIFIED CIRCUMSTANCES
WHEREAS, under Chapter 4 of the Town's Zoning ordinance, the Town requires that
new construction undergo Site Plan and Architectural Review by the Design Review Board; and
WHEREAS, Site Plan and Architectural approval normally expires two years after the
date of approval unless the applicant has obtained a building permit; and
WHEREAS, the normal time for processing a building permit is six to eight weeks and
therefore it has been the practice of the Planning Department staff to inform applicants to submit
applications for building permits at least 60 days before the expiration date of their Site Plan and
Architectural approval; and
WHEREAS, from time to time the Town staff is unable to process the applications within
60 days because of the press of other business; and
WHEREAS, it would be inconsistent with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance and efficient
administration of the Planning Department to enforce the expiration date and require applicants to
resubmit their projects for Site Plan and Architectural approval by the Design Review Board
where the lapse of time is due to internal processing delays and not to lack of diligence on the part
of the applicant; and
WHEREAS, it has been the practice of the Planning Department in such cases to issue
building permits after the expiration date of the Site Plan and Architectural approval where the
applicant submitted the application for a building permit at least 60 days prior to said date and the
Planning Director has determined that the lapse is due to internal processing delays rather than to
lack of diligence by the applicant.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town ofTiburon,
that:
1. The Council hereby ratifies the policy of the Planning Department to extend the
term of Site Plan and Architectural approval where the applicant has submitted the application for
