OAR 660-018-0022: Exemptions to Notice Requirements Under OAR 660-018-0020

(1) When a local government determines that no goals, commission rules, or land use statutes apply to a particular proposed change, the notice of a proposed change under OAR 660-018-0020 is not required. (2) If a local government determines that emergency circumstances beyond the control of the local government require expedited review such that the local government cannot submit the proposed change consistent with the 35-day deadline under OAR 660-018-0020, the local government may submit the proposed change to the department as soon as practicable. The submittal must include a description of the emergency circumstances. (3) A local government must submit any adopted change to an acknowledged comprehensive plan or land use regulation to the department within 20 days after the decision to adopt the change, as required by OAR 660-018-0040, regardless of the reason for not submitting the proposed change in advance, as provided in ORS 197.615(1) and (2). (4) Notwithstanding the requirements of ORS 197.830(2) to have appeared before the local government in the proceedings concerning the proposal, if a local government does not provide any notice described in OAR 660-018-0020, regardless of the reason for not providing the notice, the director or any other person may appeal the decision to the board under ORS 197.830 to 197.845, except as provided in ORS 197.620(3).
