The following procedures are designed to establish efficient and effective levels of service to affected property owners, developers and involved public and private agencies and organizations. [2005 RLDC § 20.010.]

The following types of review are established:

E. Board review. [2005 RLDC § 20.020.]
19.20.030 General procedures.
A. When a land use proposal involves multiple applications, the applications shall be processed together using the highest level of review procedure required by any one of the consolidated applications. Each application shall require full pre-application and application review as required by this title, to include the payment of all respective pre-application and application fees. Notices may be consolidated whenever it is efficient and convenient to do so. Findings of approval or denial may be consolidated into a single document as long as all applicable standards and criteria are identified and addressed as required by law.
B. Notwithstanding subsection (A) of this section, the Director may require the separate process of applications whenever the Director determines that the advantages of consolidated review are outweighed by complications, confusion or administrative burdens to the Review Body, the County or other participants.
