(a) The department will consider permit applications
in the order of the receipt of completed applications.
(b) If an application is rejected because it is not
complete, lacks documentation, or has incorrect information, the application
loses its priority position. The department will notify the applicant
of the reasons the application was rejected.
(c) The department will hold an application for a site
that is the same as or conflicts with the site of an application that
the department previously received until the department makes a final
decision on the previously received application. The department will
notify the applicant that the applicant's application is being held
because an application for the same or a conflicting site was previously
received. For the purposes of this subsection, the date of a final
decision on an application is:
(1) the date the application is approved; or
(2) if the application is denied:
(A) the date of the final decision on an appeal under §21.167
of this subchapter (relating to Appeal Process for Application Denials);
or
(B) if an appeal is not filed within the period provided
by §21.167 of this subchapter (relating to Appeal Process for
Application Denials), on the 91st day after the date the denial notice
was sent under §21.159 of this subchapter (relating to Decision
on Application.
(d) The department will review the permit application
for completeness, correctness, and compliance with all requirements
of this subchapter. Measurements will be taken at the site to determine
if the sign placement meets the spacing and location requirements.
