(4) any other factor deemed relevant by the board.

D. Upon receipt of a complete application, the board's staff shall, with the consultation of the board's application committee, make a preliminary and tentative recommendation as to whether the application should be approved or denied. This recommendation will be conveyed to the applicant in writing within 30 days of the board's receipt of the completed application. The final decision will be made by the board at its next regularly-scheduled meeting.

E. In the event that the board's staff tentatively recommends the denial of an application, the applicant may request in writing the opportunity to be heard at the next regularly-scheduled board meeting. Where the applicant has made a request to be heard and the board votes to deny the application, the board will issue a final written decision no later than 15 business days following the board's meeting.
