A. A Type I application may be handled administratively by the Community and Economic Development Director without public notice or hearing because a Type I decision is neither a land use decision nor a limited land use decision under ORS 197.015.

B. The Community and Economic Development Director may elevate a Type I application to a Type II application when there is a need to interpret or exercise policy or legal judgment, or to apply discretionary land use standards. The Community and Economic Development Director’s decision to elevate a Type I application to a Type II application is not an appealable decision.

C. When the applicant elects to use a discretionary track, the application will be elevated to a Type II application (Discretionary Track). [Ord. NS-2463, 2023; Ord. NS-2445, 2022; Ord. NS-2251, 2015; Ord. NS-2122, 2009; Ord. NS-2016, 2006]
