7-21-1003. Local government regulations -- restrictions. (1) Unless a specific review process for an application is otherwise provided by law, the local government shall provide the applicant with a written receipt showing the date and time that the site-specific development plan was first submitted to the local government. The local government shall establish, by ordinance or resolution, a completeness review process, including time periods within which to determine whether the application contains all of the information required by the local government's ordinances, resolutions, or other regulations, and shall notify the applicant of the local government's determination as to whether or not the application is complete. If the applicant fails to submit the missing information within any applicable time period, the local government may deny approval of the site-specific development plan as an incomplete submission. A determination that a site-specific development plan is complete under this section does not limit the ability of the local government to request additional information during the review process.

(2) Except as provided under 76-2-206 or 76-2-306 or unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the applicant, the review and approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the site-specific development plan must be based solely upon the ordinances and regulations in effect at the time that the complete site-specific development plan was submitted to the local government entity that has jurisdiction over the application. Nothing in this subsection affects the ability of a local government to develop and impose conditions on a site-specific development plan as otherwise provided by law or by locally adopted ordinances or regulations.
