PER CURIAM

Judgment reversed and remanded; supplemental judgment vacated.


Relator, Leupold Stevens, Inc. (Leupold), appeals the trial court's judgment dismissing its mandamus action against the City of Beaverton (the city) for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Leupold contends that the trial court erred in concluding that the issue in this case concerns a land use decision over which the Land Use Board of Appeals has exclusive jurisdiction. It also appeals the trial court's supplemental judgment awarding attorney fees to the city.

In light of our decisions in Cogan v. City of Beaverton, 226 Or App 381, 203 P3d 303 (2009) and Leupold Stevens, Inc. v. City of Beaverton, 226 Or App 374, 203 P3d 309 (2009), we conclude that the trial court incorrectly concluded that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over this case. Accordingly, we reverse and remand the judgment dismissing the mandamus action and vacate the supplemental judgment awarding the city its attorney fees.

Judgment reversed and remanded; supplemental judgment vacated.
