Hawaii Administrative Rules › Title 15 - DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM › Hawaii Community Development Authority › Chapter 215 - KALAELOA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT RULES › Subchapter 5 - PROCEDURES › Section 15-215-83 - Completeness review

Current through June, 2024
(a) Purpose. The
				  purpose of the completeness review is to determine whether all required
				  information is provided in a permit application. A completeness review shall
				  not constitute a decision as to whether an application complies with the
				  provisions of the rules.
(b)
				  Applicability. This section applies to all permit applications provided for in
				  these rules.
(c) Application
				  materials. No application may be deemed complete unless all of the information
				  required by forms published by the authority is included and all filing fees
				  have been paid. The executive director shall ensure that application materials
				  are made available in hardcopy format at the HCDA office and electronically via
				  the internet.
(d) Jurisdiction. All
				  applications shall be reviewed by the executive director for completeness. At
				  the time of proposed filing and fee payment, the executive director may reject
				  any application that omits information required by forms published by the HCDA.
				  Once accepted for filing, the executive director's final determination on
				  completeness of an application is appealable to the authority pursuant to
				  section 15-215-86 (appeals).
(e)
				  Commencement of time limit for application decision. Whenever the rules
				  establish a time period for processing an application, such time period does
				  not commence until the executive director has issued a certificate of
				  completeness.
(f) Multiple permit
				  approvals. When a proposed project requires more than one permit approval, the
				  developer shall apply for all such permit approvals concurrently.
(g) Completeness review process:
(1) The executive director shall provide a
				  written determination on the completeness review within forty-five business
				  days of receipt of the permit application, excluding all State holidays. If a
				  permit is deemed complete, the executive director shall issue a certificate of
				  completeness. If the application is determined not to be complete, the
				  executive director's determination shall specify those parts of the application
				  that are incomplete and shall indicate the manner in which they can be made
				  complete, including a list and thorough description of the specific information
				  needed to complete the application;
(2) If the application requires review by any
				  other local, state, or federal agency or entity, the executive director may
				  require the written comments from such agency or entity prior to deeming the
				  application complete and until such time that the executive director receives
				  all such comments, the forty-five day period shall be tolled;
(3) Upon receipt of any application that has
				  been resubmitted, a new forty-five day period shall begin, during which period
				  the executive director shall determine the completeness of the
				  application;
(4) If the authority
				  does not render a decision on the appeal within sixty working days after
				  submittal of the requisite appeal form and filing fee, the application with the
				  submitted materials shall be deemed complete for the purposes of this section;
				  and
(5) Nothing in this section
				  precludes a developer and the executive director from mutually agreeing to an
				  extension of any time limit provided by this section.
