17        67-6514.  PROVISIONAL  PERMIT. (1) If an application for a permit required
18    or authorized pursuant to this chapter requires the  acceptance,  approval  or
19    endorsement  of an ancillary agency and the permit would otherwise be approved
20    by the city or county permitting authority  except  for  the  refusal  of  the
21    ancillary agency to accept, approve or endorse the application, the permitting
22    authority may issue a provisional permit to the applicant.  Prior to the issu-
23    ance of a provisional permit, the permitting authority shall notify the ancil-
24    lary  agency  in  writing that the only matters remaining in dispute as to the
25    application are between the applicant and the ancillary  agency  and  that  if
26    such  matters are not resolved within twenty-eight (28) days after the date of
27    the written notice, the provisional permit shall  issue  with  notice  to  the
28    applicant that approval has not been forthcoming from the ancillary agency.  A
29    provisional  permit  shall  authorize  construction,  development  or  provide
30    approval  subject to an enforcement action by the ancillary agency for noncom-
31    pliance with ordinance or code provisions enforced thereby.  If the permitting
32    authority issues a provisional permit, it shall be immune  from  suit  by  the
33    applicant,  the  ancillary agency and any other person with respect to matters
34    remaining in dispute between the applicant and the ancillary agency.

39    board, commission, agency, department, division or bureau.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS08875

           INTERIM COMMITTEE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS

The Committee recommends allowing the general-purpose local
government to issue a provisional permit, recognizing that
differences remain to be resolved between the ancillary agency
and the permit applicant. The issuance of the provisional
permit would be preceded by notice to the ancillary agency and
the applicant that if the dispute between the applicant and the
ancillary agency was not resolved within a stated period of
time, the permit would issue provisionally. Upon issuance of
the provisional permit, the general-purpose government would be
immune from suit by the applicant or the ancillary agency and
any other party with respect to matters remaining in dispute.
Ancillary agency should be broadly defined to include any
public entity whose acceptance, approval or endorsement is
necessary for a permit to issue.
