18A.20.360 Joint public hearings.
A. The Director may combine any public hearing on a project permit application with any hearing that may be held by another local, state, regional, federal, or other agency, on the proposed action, as long as:
1. The other agency consents to the joint hearing;
2. The other agency is not expressly prohibited by statute from doing so;
3. Sufficient notice of the hearing is given to meet each of the agencies’ adopted notice requirements as set forth in statute, ordinance, or rule;
4. The agency has received the necessary information about the proposed project from the applicant in enough time to hold its hearing at the same time as the local government hearing; and
5. The hearing is held within the Lakewood City limits.
B. An applicant may request that the public hearing on a permit application be combined as long as the joint hearing can be held within the time periods set forth in LMC 18A.20.090. In the alternative, the applicant may agree to a particular schedule if additional time is needed in order to complete the hearings. [Ord. 726 § 2 (Exh. B), 2019.]
