FLUEDRA: (1) O believes a Dev Order unfairly burdens (2) Mandatory to provide. (3) O has 30 days from rendition to demand. (4) LG has 10 days to provide Spec. Mag. LOCAL PROCESS: (1) O = 'aggrieved & affected' by prelim dec based on CP (2) Optional (pass an ordinance). (3) LG has 10 days from app to BOTH: (Post Notice on Site) + (Publish or Mail)
26
FLUEDRA vs. LOCAL ----------- State the different claimants.
FLUEDRA vs. LOCAL ----------- FLUEDRA: O believes Dev Ord is unreas or unfairly burdens. LOCAL: Aggrieved or affected by Dev Ord based on CP.
27
FLUEDRA vs. LOCAL ----------- State LG's obligation to provide each.
FLUEDRA: Mandatory if requested. LOCAL: Optional to have, pass an Ordinance.
28
FLUEDRA vs. LOCAL State the 3 steps for each.
FLUEDRA: (1) O has 30 days from rendition to demand. (2) LG has 10 days to give demand to Spec. Mag. Has 15 days to answer O's claim. (3) LG notifies contiguous Os & PH witnesses. LOCAL: (1) w/i 10 days of Dev Ord application LG must: (a) Post notice on site + Publish or mail to affected Os that they have rt to Q-J hearing. (b) Make a preliminary decision. (2) Hold Q-J b/4 spec master who makes recommendations to LG (3) Hold 2nd Q-J.
29
FLUEDRA vs. LOCAL ----------- State the method of appeal.
``` FLUEDRA vs. LOCAL ----------- FLUEDRA: Writ of cert!, circuit, 30 days. LOCAL: Writ of cert!, circuit, 30 days. ```
30
FLUEDRA ----------- Is FLUEDRA public or private?
``` Hearing = public & informal. ----------- Mag's recommendation = public. ----------- Like any mediation: Participant's statements + actions = private b/c compromising a claim. ```
31
FLUEDRA ----------- Can FLUEDRA address CP?
``` FLUEDRA ----------- Cannot address a CP amendment. BUT Can recommend an amendment to CP. ```
32
FLUEDRA vs. LOCAL ---------- State 4 key points.
1) O has QJ decision. 2) Any dev ord or enforcement action, 3) Spec Mag tries to settle. 4) If can't settle, writ. - -------- 1) O has no decision = application. 2) Prelim dec. 3) SM holds QJ + recomms. 4) QJ before bd, writ.
33
``` FLUEDRA vs. LOCAL ---------- Which one is: -- Based on Code or CP? -- QJ or Legis? ```
FLUEDRA = fluid, easy, simple = code + qj 1) Code - Any dev ord 2) Q-J - ---------- LOCAL = only locals know the CP = drama, CP + QJ 1) CP + LG can throw in LDR if desired. 2) QJ. You'd think Legis but turns QJ
34
FLUEDRA vs. LOCAL ---------- # of decisions.
``` FLUEDRA vs. LOCAL ---------- FLUEDRA - 2! #1 - Bd CP dec. #2 - SM QJ recomm. Bd issues uses. Nothing further. ---------- Local - 3 #1 - LG Prelim. #2 - SM QJ recomm. #3 - Bd QJ. ```
35
FLUEDRA vs. LOCAL ----------- What are methods of appeal for FLUEDRA vs. Local?
``` FLUEDRA = QJ O files writ on Bd's issuance of uses. ----------- LOCAL regards CP but becomes QJ so Writ. ~confirmed 163.3213(4). If do not use local = de novo dec. If use local= writ. ```
36
FLUEDRA vs. LOCAL ----------- What's is weightier, FLUEDRA or Local?
``` Local! SPECIAL TREATMENT: 1) Re: CP 2) Gets Prelim decision. 3) Gets 3 decisions (prelim, SM, Bd) 4) Avoids Legis hrg 5) P gets 2 hearings (SM + Bd). 6) QJ from the beginning to end. ----------- FLUEDRA is really just mediation to appeal a QJ dev order. Greedy, gets initial QJ, SM QJ, Bd accept or issues uses. ```
