All land use and development applications shall be decided by using the procedures contained in this Chapter. Specific procedures for each type of permit are contained in Sections 16.89.030 through 16.89.060. The procedure type assigned to each permit governs the decision-making process for that permit. Additional requirements may be found in the individual chapters governing each permit type. The four types of procedure are described below. Table 16.89.020 lists the City’s land use and development applications and their required procedures.
A. Type I Procedure (Ministerial). Type I decisions are made by the Planning Director without public notice and without a public hearing. The Type I procedure is used when there are clear and objective approval criteria or provisions and applying those criteria or provisions requires no use of discretion. The appeal of a Type I Planning Director’s decision is heard by the Planning Commission.
B. Type II Procedure (Administrative). Type II decisions are made by the Planning Director with public notice and an opportunity for a public hearing. The appeal of a Type II decision is heard by the Planning Commission.
C. Type III Procedure (Quasi-Judicial/Legislative). Type III decisions are made by the Planning Commission after a public hearing, with appeals reviewed by the City Council. Type III procedures generally use discretionary approval criteria.
D. Type IV procedure (Council Decision). Type IV decisions generally apply to legislative matters, but include certain other applications as well. Legislative matters involve the creation, revision, or large-scale implementation of public policy (e.g., adoption of land use regulations, zone changes, and comprehensive plan amendments that apply to entire districts). Type IV matters are considered initially by the Planning Commission with final decisions made by the City Council. Annexations and certain quasi-judicial applications are also processed under the Type IV process. (Ord. 1080, 2001; Ord 1237, 2007; Ord. 1514, 2019)
