If determined to be incomplete, the request shall be returned to the applicant with written notice of the deficiencies.

    (c)

    Each request that is properly filed shall be reviewed and evaluated in accordance with section 45-369 of this Code. If the director determines that the request does not merit further consideration, based upon the criteria set forth in section 45-369(1) through (5) of this Code, then the director shall so notify the applicant in writing and, wherever practicable to do so, shall provide any suggested modifications to the request that might cause it to receive more favorable consideration if resubmitted. For requests that the director determines merit further consideration under the criteria of section 45-369(1) through (5) of this Code, the applicant shall be so advised in writing and shall also be advised:

    (1)

    If no public funding or assistance has been requested, that the project is eligible to proceed under division 2 or division 3 of this article, as applicable; or

    (2)

    If public funding or assistance has been requested, whether or not the director has given preliminary approval for consideration of the project on a publicly funded basis under the criteria of section 45-369(6) of this Code, and:

    a.

    If so, that the project is eligible to proceed under division 2 or division 3 of this article, as applicable; or

    b.

    If not, that the project will not be further considered under division 2 or division 3 of this article, as applicable, unless the applicant withdraws the request for public assistance or funding.
