The applicant shall be given an opportunity to be heard by the development administrator or designee within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of any such application. The development administrator shall determine whether the applicant has established by a preponderance of the evidence applying the criteria in subsection D.2 of this definition whether the household in question constitutes a functional equivalent of a family and shall approve or deny the subject application for a functional equivalent family certificate within five (5) business days following the conclusion of any such hearing. If such an applicant establishes by a preponderance of the evidence the existence of a functional equivalent family the development administrator shall issue a certificate therefor.
