A. At the request of the applicant, the city may combine any public hearing on a project permit application requiring review by a reviewing agency 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 hearing is held within the city limits; (2) the hearing can be held within the time periods for deciding the application or the applicant agrees to a different schedule; and (3) the requirements of subsection (B) of this section are met.

B. A joint public hearing may be held with another local, state, regional, federal or other agency and a city reviewing agency as long as: (1) the other agency is not expressly prohibited by statute from doing so; (2) sufficient notice of the hearing is given to meet each of the agency’s adopted notice requirements; and (3) the other agency has received the necessary information about the proposed project in enough time to hold its hearing at the same time as the city reviewing agency. (Ord. 827 § 10, 1997).
