§ 45-3209. Rehearing for application for variance or special exception.

(a)

Deferral of an application: An applicant may request the planning commission or board of zoning appeals to defer action on an application for a special exception, variance or exception to the Chesapeake Bay preservation requirements prior to a public hearing. When such request is granted, the applicant shall pay a reprocessing fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) before the application is considered by the planning commission or board of zoning appeals. The fee shall not be required for an administrative deferral.

(b)

Withdrawal of an application: An application for a variance, exception to the Chesapeake Bay preservation requirements or special exception may be withdrawn by the applicant prior to a public hearing; provided, such request is filed by 5:00 p.m. on the Thursday prior to the public hearing; however, any re-submittal shall be deemed a new application.

(c)

Denial of application: If the application is denied by the board, substantially the same application shall not be reconsidered within one (1) year of denial.
