A notice and order constitutes a "land use decision" as that term is defined in the Land Use Petition Act, chapter 36.70C RCW ("LUPA"). An appeal of a notice and order to the hearing examiner under SCC 7.53.205(5) constitutes an administrative appeal of the department’s land use decision. The hearing examiner’s final decision regarding appeal of a notice and order is the final decision of the county regarding the violation described in the notice and order, and is appealable to superior court under LUPA. As provided in RCW 36.70C.040, appeals under LUPA must be filed within 21 days of the date on which the challenged decision is issued.
