Can a municipality simply refuse to process my LLA application?

No, not without triggering the developer's litigation rights. The Act expressly prohibits quasi-judicial review of compliant LLA applications, meaning a municipality cannot route your application to a planning board, special master, or commission hearing as a mechanism for delay or denial. A municipality that refuses to process a compliant application, imposes conditions that go beyond objective development standards, or unreasonably delays action beyond the statutory review period (120 days under SB 328) is in violation of the Act's preemption. The developer's remedy is an expedited civil action in circuit court challenging the improper action, with the right to recover up to $250,000 in attorney fees from the municipality if the developer prevails. The $250,000 cap, against the municipality, meaning against its taxpayers, is a meaningful financial deterrent. Municipalities that fought LLA applications in 2023–2024 and lost in circuit court have largely abandoned resistance strategies for clearly compliant applications.
