If that is not <br />possible, then a 197.522 proceeding will be necessary to supplement the evidence and/or modify <br />the application. <br /> <br />ORS 197.522 provides in part: <br /> <br /> (2) A local government shall approve an application for a permit, <br />authorization or other approval necessary for the subdivision or partitioning of, or <br />construction on, any land for needed housing that is consistent with the <br />comprehensive plan and applicable land use regulations. <br />(3) If an application is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan and <br />applicable land use regulations, the local government, prior to making a final <br />decision on the application, shall allow the applicant to offer an amendment or to <br />propose conditions of approval that would make the application consistent with <br />the plan and applicable regulations. If an applicant seeks to amend the application <br />or propose conditions of approval: <br />* * * * <br /> (b) A city may extend the time limitation under ORS 227.178 for final <br />action by the governing body of a city on an application for needed housing and <br />may set forth a new time limitation for final action on the consideration of future <br />amendments or proposals. <br />
