Continuances and tabling. Discretionary applications described in this section may be continued or tabled, provided such actions are in compliance with requirements of state law regarding processing time limits:

(1)

Continuance. Review of discretionary applications may be continued from time to time to a specified date. If a public hearing is required for the application, further testimony may be heard and further evidence may be presented at the specified date without the holding of a new public hearing.
