102-1-4 Notice Of Decision

After reviewing the evidence and considering the application, the land use authority, as designated by this Land Use Code, shall make its findings and decision. It shall then send a notice of decision to the applicant at the address or e-mail address given in the application. A notice of decision can be a written notice of decision, a copy of the written administrative approval signed by the planning director or designee, or a copy of the approved minutes. A decision by the land use authority is final at the time the notice of decision is sent. If a notice of decision is not sent, and the decision was made in a meeting where minutes are kept, the decision shall be final on the date the minutes from the meeting are approved by the land use authority. The planning division shall also mail notice of any decisions to any person or agency who, in writing, requested such notification before the decision was rendered. Only those requirements, findings, and conditions expressly stated in the final written notice of decision or expressly adopted on the record by the land use authority shall be binding. A staff report or meeting minutes may be referenced for context, but shall not impose or expand conditions unless the final decision expressly incorporates a specific condition by clear reference.”
