Section 1. Section 19.00.110 of the Edmonds Municipal Code, as last amended
by Ordinance No. 3215, is hereby further amended to read as follows:
19.00.110 Fully complete application.
In accordance with the provisions of RCW 19.27.095, an
applicant's rights shall vest when a fully complete building permit
application is filed. A fully complete building permit application
is an application executed by all of the owners of the property for
which the application is submitted or the duly authorized agent(s)
for such owners, containing each and every document required
under the terms of these ordinances and the Uniform Building
Code and substantially complete in all respects. It is anticipated
that minor changes or revisions may be required and are frequently
made in the course of any building application review process, and
such minor revisions or changes shall not keep an application from
being deemed complete if a good faith attempt has been made to
submit a substantially complete application containing all required
components. Where required, the application and supporting
documents shall be stamped and /or certified by the appropriate
engineering, surveying or other professional consultants. A fully
complete building permit application shall be accompanied by all
fees, including but not limited to building permit fees and plan
check fees required under the provisions of this chapter and the
State Building Code. An applicant may submit an application for
building permit approval and request plan review services
concurrently with, or at anytime following, the submittal of a
complete application for any necessary or required discretionary
permit approval or discretionary hearing. Provided that any
building permit application submitted concurrently with an
application for discretionary permit or approval, shall not be
considered complete unless the applicant submits a signed
statement, on a form to be approved by the Director, which
acknowledges that the building permit application is subject to any
conditions or requirements imposed pursuant to the review and
approval of any necessary or required discretionary permits or
approvals. The applicant shall solely bear the risk of building
permit submittal with discretionary permit approval. If after
discretionary approval, the building permit plans must be modified
or amended to comply with conditions or restrictions required by
any discretionary permit or approval, the applicant shall be solely
responsible for any and all costs which result therefrom, including
but not limited to additional full plan review fees. Provided further
that any applicant initiated changes made after the original plan
review is complete shall also require payment of full plan review
fees.
