Be that as it may, we conclude that not all of petitioners' arguments are correct. As the city contends and LUBA held, none of the city code provisions on which petitioners rely applies specifically to use determinations or requires such determinations to be made as discretionary decisions that carry with them any procedural rights beyond the ones that petitioners received. Because we conclude that the code provisions were not applicable here, it is unnecessary to address petitioners' second assignment of error. All that petitioners are left with, in the posture of the case, is that the city nominally followed a code provision that petitioners themselves contend is inapplicable instead of an applicable state statute that permitted the city to do exactly what it did. Although the city's processing of this case was less than clear and understandably was confusing to the parties, as LUBA correctly concluded, the statute allowed the city to make the decision that it did.
Petitioners show no basis for reversal.
