Applications shall be processed in order of receipt. A decision to deny a permit shall be issued in writing with the basis for the denial, and if feasible, shall propose measures to cure any defects in the application. An applicant may appeal the decision to deny a permit under the procedures in Chapter 1, Article 4 of this Code. If no appeal is filed in a timely manner, the decision of the Director shall be final.
