1.20 Vesting of Zoning Rights

Upon payment of the required application fees and submission of a completed application, an applicant shall be entitled to have the filed application reviewed and acted upon pursuant to the terms of this Development Code or development code and zoning map in effect at the time of filing of the application, subject to the exceptions set forth below. The applicant may take advantage of amendments to this Code and zoning map that would permit greater density or more intense use of the land, provided however, that these changes may be deemed a modification of the plan and require the payment of additional planning review fees. For the purposes of this Code, a complete application includes all documentation required by this Code, other relevant laws and Ordinances of the Town of Wallsburg, relevant state and federal laws, and any other information deemed necessary by the Planning Commission to complete a thorough review of the proposed project and make a well informed decision. At the Concept Plan meeting with the Planning Commission, the Commission will inform the applicant of any information required in order to deem the application complete. Upon receipt of the information required by this Code and any additional information by the Town Clerk, the application will be deemed complete. No application will be deemed complete prior to the Concept Plan meeting with the Planning Commission. An applicant may not appeal the need to provide information required by this Code or any other Town Ordinance, or any state or federal law. However, any applicant may appeal the need to provide any additional information requested by the Planning Commission to the Town Board on the next available meeting of the Board with adequate time to fully discuss the matter. Non-zoning related matters, including, but not limited to site development standards, procedural requirements and building code requirements, will not vest until complete building permit applications have been filed and required fees have been paid. Water and sewer connection availability, costs of water and sewer connection and water development fees, and applicable impact fees and other charges will vest only upon payment of the building permit application fees and submission of all materials necessary for the issuance of a building permit. Vesting of all permits and approvals terminates upon the expiration or termination of the permit or approval.
