The PUD process may be either a one-stage or a two-stage process.
The two (2) parts of a two-stage PUD shall be as follows:
An applicant may elect to file a single application for consolidated PUD review, consolidating the two-stage review into one proceeding.
To initiate a consolidated review, an applicant shall file all of the material required for both the first and second stages, as specified in §§ 2406.11 and 2406.12, at the time of initial filing. The applicant shall also comply with the requirements of §§ 2406.7 through 2406.10 regarding pre-filing notices.
The application shall be processed as if it were a preliminary application. When the Commission considers whether to set the case for a hearing, the Commission shall determine whether the application is sufficiently clear and detailed to be considered at one proceeding.
The Commission reserves the right to direct an applicant to revise a one-stage application into a two-stage application, if in the opinion of the Commission the circumstances and issues surrounding the proposal require a two-stage review.
The Commission may dismiss or deny the application at the conclusion of the presentation of the applicant's case or at any point thereafter.
