§ 17914.5. What is the Board's process for reviewing Zone redesignation applications and redesignating Zones?
(a) Upon receipt of your application for redesignation, the Board will review the application to determine that it is complete. Within 21 calendar days of receiving an application for redesignation, the Board will send an Initial Review Letter to the applicant, stating that the Board has received the application.
The minimum time frame for completing the Initial Review is seven calendar days. The median time frame is 14 calendar days. The maximum time frame is 21 calendar days.
The Initial Review Letter will notify each applicant of the date that the application was received, and whether the application is complete or incomplete. If the application is incomplete, the Initial Review Letter will specify any deficiencies regarding completeness or eligibility and grant the applicant 14 calendar days from the date of the letter to correct the deficiencies and submit the changes to the Board.
The Board must receive the noted changes by 4:00 p.m. on the 14th day from the date the letter is sent. Within ten calendar days of receiving the additional information requested by staff in the Initial Review Letter, the Board will notify each applicant whether the application is complete or incomplete.
(1) At any time within the 21 day Initial Review period, and prior to receiving the Board's Initial Review Letter, an applicant can make minor administrative changes such as changing the name of a contact person, submitting missing pages or correcting minor errors.
(b) The Board will conduct a Technical Review of the application, to evaluate the Market Development Plan for its technical adequacy and its ability to succeed. The Technical Review will begin no later than 14 calendar days after the Board's receipt of a complete application for Redesignation. The minimum time frame for completing the Technical Review is seven calendar days. The median time frame is 14 calendar days. The maximum time frame is 21 calendar days.
Following the Technical Review, a letter will be sent to the applicant specifying any technical deficiencies in the application. The applicant shall have 14 calendar days to correct the noted deficiencies and submit changes to the Board. The Board must receive changes by 4:00 p.m. on the 14th day from the date the letter is sent.
(1) Within the 21 day Technical Review period, and prior to receiving the Board's Technical Review Letter, an applicant may correct technical deficiencies as identified in the technical review of the application such as additional analysis regarding targeted feedstock for market development purposes, development of matching local incentives and sources of funding, property and infrastructure availability, inclusion of clearly stated goals and objectives, specific strategy for business attraction and retention efforts, specific strategy for advertising and promotion of the Zone, and administration and funding sources.
(c) Upon receipt of corrections of technical deficiencies identified in the technical review by staff, the Board will either grant or deny the request for redesignation. The redesignation will take effect upon the Board's formal approval.
The Board will send a “Notification” letter to the applicant informing it of its decision, within 14 calendar days of its decision. If an applicant is denied redesignation it may reapply.
(1) If the Board grants conditional redesignation of a Zone, the Notification letter will specify conditions of approval that must be satisfied prior to final redesignation. The applicant will have 120 calendar days from the date of the Notification letter to satisfy the conditions of redesignation.
The Board must receive a written request from the Zone applicant for final redesignation. If conditions of redesignation are not satisfied within the 120 calendar day period, redesignation status will not be approved. The applicant may reapply for redesignation
