A. Table 17.06.070-1 (Approval Authority) identifies the decision-making body, or “approval authority,” for the various planning permits and decisions in the town. An approval authority is the decision-making body that takes action on a permit, as designated in the table with a “D.” In some instances, the approval authority receives a recommendation from a “recommending body” prior to making a decision, as indicated with an “R.”

B. When a proposed project requires more than one permit with more than one approval authority, all of the permits shall be heard and decided together by the highest approval authority. The recommending body(ies) shall make a recommendation to the approval authority prior to approval authority action.

C. Actions of the approval authority may be appealed pursuant to the procedures set forth in section 17.06.100 (Appeals).
