QUASI-JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS The distinction between legislative and quasi-judicial matters: 1. Legislative matters are matters of general concern or applicability. Examples of legislative acts include adoption of a master plan, imposition of a fire ban or watering limitations, adoption of a junk ordinance, enactment of a tap or impact fee, etc. 2. Quasi-judicial matters are somewhat more difficult to identify. They often relate to only a specific individual or a piece of property and usually involve applying specified standards to a particular circumstance. To be considered quasi-judicial, a matter must satisfy three criteria: a) Notice is required before action may be taken b) A hearing must be conducted before action may be taken c) The body sitting as the quasi-judicial body must apply specified criteria to a particular person, property or circumstance. Examples of quasi-judicial matters include rezoning, special or conditional use permits, variances, etc.
