This table summarizes the powers and duties that each review authority has under this title. Where a land use project requires more than one type of application, all permit requests shall be reviewed and decided on by the highest review authority established for any of the applications, except as otherwise provided herein. Where a land use project requires an application under Title 22, but no application under this title, then the review authority for the Title 22 application shall be the Director, notwithstanding any contradictory provisions in Title 22, provided that final maps shall be approved by the City Council as required by the Subdivision Map Act. Where a land use project requires an application under Title 22 and all other permits for the land use project under this title have a lower review authority than what is provided by Title 22, the lower review authority provided in this title shall apply to the Title 22 application, notwithstanding any contradictory provisions in Title 22, provided that final maps shall be approved by the City Council as required by the Subdivision Map Act.
