Before Ortega, Presiding Judge, and Lagesen, Chief Judge, and Powers, Judge.

LAGESEN, C. J.

Petitioners seek judicial review of a final order of the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) under ORS 197.850. In that order, LUBA transferred petitioners' appeals of (1) a building permit planning checklist and (2) a revised building permit approval to the circuit court under ORS 34.102(2) and OAR 661-010-0075(9). The planning checklist and revised permit approval were based on the decisions made by respondent City of Lake Oswego that are at issue in Marick v. City of Lake Oswego, 324 Or.App. 178,__P.3d__ (2023) (Marick I), decided today. LUBA issued the transfer order after concluding that the checklist and revised permit approval were ministerial decisions and, consequently, excluded from LUBAs jurisdiction by virtue of ORS 197.015(10)(b)(B). Before us, petitioners assert that LUBA erred in concluding that the checklist and revised permit approval were ministerial, but we agree with respondents and LUBA that those arguments are more appropriately directed at the decisions at issue in Marick I. Further, we agree with LUBA and respondents that the checklist and revised permit approval fall within the exception to LUBAs jurisdiction in ORS 197.015(10)(b)(B) for decisions that "approve[] or den[y] a building permit issued under clear and objective land use standards." We therefore affirm.

Affirmed.
