The staff review shall include: (1) Determination of completeness of the application. An application deemed incomplete will not be processed. (2) Identification of the issues pertinent to commission review. (3) Assessment of the project's compatibility with the compact, comprehensive plan, and with the other requirements of this part. (4) Consultation with the project sponsor if requested or deemed necessary. (5) Determination of the appropriate application fee in accordance with the commission's project review fee schedule and the transmission of a billing to the project sponsor for that fee. Applications will not be presented to the commission for review and action until such application fee has been paid. (6) Formal docketing of the project and, within 90 days of receipt of a complete application, presentation to the commission along with the recommendations of the staff for disposition of the application. The executive director may, for good cause, extend this review period for up to an additional 60 days. Any further extension must be approved by the commission.
