City of Albany v. Linn County

OAR 661-010-0071(1)(c) states that LUBA shall reverse a land use decision where the decision “violates a provision of applicable law and is prohibited as a matter of law.” LLC 938.340(B) allows for variances which are “consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan,” LUBA found that this variance was not and it was, therefore, “prohibited as a matter of law.”
