| (a) Each permitting agency or subdivision must submit
a written preliminary statement to the PAG no later than 45 days after
receipt of the request for preliminary consistency review.
(b) The preliminary statement must indicate whether
the permitting agency or subdivision anticipates approving or denying
the application.
(c) If the permitting agency or subdivision anticipates
denying the application, the preliminary statement must include an
explanation of the grounds for denial and recommendations for resolving
the grounds in a way that would allow the application to be approved.
(d) If enough information is already available, the
preliminary statement must include a determination that the proposed
activity is likely be found consistent with the CMP goals and policies.
(e) If the proposed activity is likely to be found
inconsistent with the goals and policies of the CMP, the preliminary
statement should include an explanation and recommendation for resolving
the inconsistency in a way that would allow the project to be found
consistent.
(f) If the permitting agency or subdivision finds that
there is insufficient information, the agency or subdivision may qualify
its preliminary statement. A qualified statement must explain the
insufficiencies and identify, to the extent practicable, any significant
issues that are likely to arise during the regular permitting process
and that may result in denial of the application.
