GROSSE, J.

Proponents of projects are entitled to have their proposals processed under the regulations in effect at the time a complete building permit application is filed, regardless of subsequent changes in the zoning or other land use regulations. WCHS's application for a building permit was complete at the time of filing in early November 2002. The decision of the trial court that this allowed WCHS to proceed with its project is affirmed.
