This means that the public <br /> hearing and Council decision on the application has to be done within 2 months. Under <br /> certain circumstances, the City is allowed to request an extension from the applicant. If the <br /> City takes no action within the 60 days, the request is automatically granted. The City has <br /> no recourse to change or affect the decision if this happens. <br /> As a result, we take land use and zoning applications very seriously. It is imperative that the <br /> Zoning Administrator (me) reviews the application before it is accepted. Once the <br /> application is accepted, the 60-day clock begins. <br /> HAPlanning\Misc.
