At the end of this 15-day review period, staff is required to notify the applicant on the status of their application. An application will not be considered complete until all missing materials or information have been submitted and reviewed by staff. If an application is found to be incomplete, the JDA review schedule may be subject to change. 4. 60 Day Review Period Minnesota State Statute requires land use approval bodies to process applications within 60 days of receiving a complete application. This requirement will apply to development proposals reviewed by the JDA as well. The initial 60-day review period may be extended for an additional 60 days for reasons that pertain to the proper review of an application with notification to the applicant. With the applicant’s permission, the 120-day review period may also be extended. 5.
