A permit application that satisfies the information requirements in the town’s adopted checklist shall be deemed complete and be promptly processed. Upon confirmation by the building official that the permit application and supporting documents meet the requirements of the town’s adopted checklist, and are consistent with all applicable laws, the building official shall, consistent with Government Code Section 65850.7, approve the application and issue all necessary permits. Such approval does not authorize an applicant to energize or utilize the electric vehicle charging station until final approval is granted by the building official. If the building official determines that the permit application is incomplete, he or she shall issue a written correction notice to the applicant, detailing all deficiencies in the application and any additional information required to be eligible for expedited permit issuance. If the building official finds, based on substantial evidence, that the electric vehicle charging station could have a specific adverse impact upon the public health or safety, the matter shall be referred to the planning commission for determination of whether a use permit shall be required and issued. The town may not deny an application for a use permit to install an electric vehicle charging station unless a written finding based upon substantial evidence in the record that the proposed installation would have a specific adverse impact upon the public health or safety, and that there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact. The findings shall include the bases for the rejection of potential feasible alternatives of preventing the adverse impact. (Ord. 629 § 1 (part), 2017)
