Following <br />approval, a Building Permit or Occupancy Permit may be granted. <br />(M) Environmental Review <br />(1) No development project shall be approved prior to review by the Community <br />Development Department to determine the need to complete a Minnesota <br />Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) or Environmental Impact Statement <br />(EIS). Procedures for EAWs and EISs are set forth in the Minnesota Environmental <br />Quality Review Board regulations for the Environmental Review Program authorized <br />by Minnesota Statutes. <br />(2) Environmental reviews (EAWs and EISs) shall be conducted as early as practical in <br />the processing of a development project. No decision on granting of a permit or other <br />approval required may be issued until the EAW / EIS process is completed. <br />(3) At the City’s discretion, an Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) may be <br />used to meet environmental review requirements. <br />(N) Withdrawal of an Application <br />A request for withdrawal of an application shall be submitted in writing to the Community <br />Development Department. <br />(O) Reconsideration of Land Use Approval Applications <br />No application for land use approval which has been denied by the City Council, in whole <br />or in part, shall be reconsidered for a period of 6 months from the date of the decision on the <br />application, except where there is substantial new evidence or proof of a change in <br />conditions with respect to such application. Before any such reconsideration, the City may <br />require the submission of the appropriate application fee and the application may be <br />considered as a new application. <br />(P) Agreements <br />The Community Development Director may require: <br />(1) That the applicant (and property owner if different) indicate agreement with the <br />City’s conditions of approval by signing the letter of approval issued by the <br />Department, or <br />(2) That the applicant (and property owner if different) signs an agreement that describes <br />the terms of the approval, which shall be linked to the property and recorded by the <br />County. <br />The Community Development Director may waive either of these requirements. <br />
