      197A.140 Expedited land division; procedures; application fee. Notwithstanding any other requirement applicable to a land use decision under ORS chapter 197 or 197A, for an application that is reviewed as an expedited land division based on the request of the applicant:

      (1) A decision is not subject to the requirements of ORS 197.797.

      (2) A local government:

      (a) Shall make a decision to approve or deny the application within 63 days of receiving a completed application as described in ORS 215.246 or 227.178, based on whether the application satisfies the substantive requirements of the applicable land use regulations. An approval may include conditions to ensure that the application meets the applicable land use regulations.

      (b) May not hold a hearing on the application or allow any third party to intervene to oppose the application.

      (c) Shall issue a written determination of compliance or noncompliance with applicable land use regulations that includes a summary statement explaining the determination. The summary statement may be in any form reasonably intended to communicate the local government’s basis for the determination. The determination must include an explanation of the applicant’s right to appeal the determination under ORS 197.830 to 197.855.

      (d) Shall provide notice of the decision to the applicant but may not require that notice be given to any other person.

      (e) May assess an application fee calculated to recover the estimated full cost of processing an application based on the estimated average cost of such applications. Within one year of establishing a fee under this section, the city or county shall review and revise the fee, if necessary, to reflect actual experience in processing expedited land decisions.

      (3) Only the applicant may appeal an expedited land division made under this section. [Formerly 197.365]
