A determination of application completeness shall be made by the director no more
than ten business days after submittal of the application. If the application is determined
to be incomplete, the director shall notify the applicant in writing within five days
of completing the completeness review. The city shall exercise the authority granted
under V.T.C.A., Local Government Code ch. 245 to perform such reviews within the ten-day
window and to allow the applicant 45 days in which to respond. While awaiting the
requested information, any time limitations within which the city must process the
application shall be tolled. If the applicant's response time exceeds the 45-day period,
then the application expires; and to proceed, the applicant shall begin the process
again with a new application. The completeness review set forth herein applies to
all applications identified in table 1-1 of this ULDC. Determination that an application
is complete does not preclude any negative final action and does not include any implied
determination that the application successfully meets any review criteria. The development
manual shall contain a checklist for all application types. Completeness reviews shall
rely on the ULDC provisions as well as the checklists and V.T.C.A, Local Government
Code ch. 245.
