8.07.190 Facility licenses—Incomplete applications.

Incomplete applications are those that cannot be processed due to missing information or incorrect fees. Also included are those applications on which a zoning or legal decision is pending. These applications shall be processed as follows:

(1)    Incorrect Amounts. When the amount sent is incorrect, notification shall be sent to the applicant to send the correct amount within thirty (30) days, or the fee will be forfeited and the application voided. A new application and fee shall then be required. No license shall be issued until the full fee amount is received.

(2)    New Businesses. Missing zoning compliance certificate. When the applicant has failed to submit the certificate of zoning compliance, notification shall be sent to request the certificate within thirty (30) days or the application will be voided and the fee forfeited. If the thirty (30) day period has elapsed, a new application and fee shall be required.

(3)    Preexisting Use Pending Zoning or Legal Review.

(a)    An applicant who has maintained a facility for six (6) months or more without having first obtained a certificate of zoning compliance may have a temporary license issued pending compliance with Clark County’s zoning regulations. Should the applicant be unable to obtain the certificate of zoning compliance, the fee paid shall be reimbursed on a prorated basis.

(b)    A temporary license shall not be issued for a facility maintained for less than six (6) months or previously found to be noncompliant.

(4)    Appeals. Any decision made concerning the type of facility licensed and thus the fee charged may be appealed by the applicant as outlined in Section 8.19.080, by using the facility license number as the citation or violation number. Should the appeal be in favor of the appellant, the excess of the facility license fee shall be refunded to the applicant, from the date the appeal was filed on a prorated monthly basis.

(5)    Any monies from the initial application fees that cannot be processed shall be deposited into a special revenue account in the animal control fund as a special revenue item at the end of the forfeiture period. Nonforfeited amounts shall be deposited into the facility license fees category when correct fees are received. All refunds are to be made from the facility license fee revenue account upon completion of a completed and approved refund request form.
