Hearing Examiner Appeals

To appeal to the City's Hearing Examiner, the appeal MUST be in writing and be delivered either in person to the Hearing Examiner's office on the 40th floor of Seattle Municipal Tower at 700 Fifth Ave. or by mail to the City of Seattle Hearing Examiner , P.O.

Appeals must be received prior to 5:00 P.M. of the appeal deadline indicated below and be accompanied by a $50.00 filing fee in a check payable to the City of Seattle.

Appeals to the Hearing Examiner must conform in content and form to the Hearing Examiner's rules governing appeals. (The Hearing Examiner's Office has a form that can be used for land use appeals.) A copy of the Hearing Examiner Rules is available for $1.75 from DPD. The Hearing Examiner's Office also provides a "Citizen Guide to the Office of the Hearing Examiner". To be assured of a right to have your views heard, you must be party to an appeal. Do not assume that you will have an opportunity to be heard if someone else has filed an appeal from the decision. For information regarding appeals, visit the Hearing Examiner's website at www.seattle.gov/examiner or call them at (206) 684-0521.

Interpretations

Issues concerning the proper application of any development regulation in the Land Use and Zoning Code (Title 23) or regulations for Environmentally Critical Areas (Chapter 25.09) cannot be raised as part of this appeal. These issues can be considered in an interpretation, which may be appealed to the Hearing Examiner. Interpretations may be requested by any interested person. Requests for interpretations must be filed in writing prior to 5:00 P.M. on the appeal deadline indicated below and be accompanied by a $2,000.00 fee payable to the City of Seattle .

Questions regarding how to apply for a formal interpretation may be asked by phone by calling (206) 684-8467.

Shoreline Decisions

An appeal from a shoreline decision is made to the State Shorelines Hearing Board. It is NOT made to the City Hearing Examiner. The appeal must be in writing and filed within 21 days of the date the DPD decision is received by the State Department of Ecology (DOE). The DPD decision will be sent to DOE by the close of business on the Friday of this week. If the Shoreline decision involves a shoreline variance or shoreline conditional use, the appeal must be filed within 21 days after DOE has made their decision. The information necessary for DOE to make their decision will be sent to them by the close of business on the Friday of this week. The beginning of the appeal period may also be provided to you by calling (206) 684-8467. The minimum requirements for the content of a shoreline appeal and all the parties who must be served within the appeal period cannot be summarized here but written instructions are available at the Department of Planning and Development (Client Assistance Memo 232), 700 5^th Av Ste 2000, PO Box 34019, Seattle, WA 98124-4019, (206) 684-8467 or contact the Shorelines Hearing Board at (360) 459-6327. Failure to properly file an appeal within the required time period will result in dismissal of the appeal. In cases where a shoreline and environmental decision are the only components, the appeal for both shall be filed with the State Shorelines Hearing Board. When a decision has been made on a shoreline application with environmental review and other appealable land use components, the appeal of the environmental review must be filed with both the State Shorelines Hearing Board and the City of Seattle Hearing Examiner .
