(1) ORS 471.166(1) authorizes the Commission to take into consideration the recommendation of the local governing body before granting or denying a license. ORS 471.166(5) requires the Commission to state by rule the valid grounds for a local governing body's unfavorable recommendation on any license application, and requires the Commission to limit valid grounds to those considered by the Commission in making an unfavorable determination on a license application.

(2) For purposes of this rule an unfavorable determination is license refusal or license restriction.

(3) For the unfavorable recommendation of a local governing body to be valid, the grounds must be found in the license refusal bases of ORS 471.313(1)(d)-(e), OAR 845-005-0320, 845-005-0325 or 845-005-0326, or the license restriction bases of 845-005-0355, and must be supported by reliable factual information.

(4) Organizations, facilities, government agencies, or individuals may give the Commission reliable factual information concerning whether there is a basis to grant or deny a license or to impose license restrictions under the laws specified in section (3) of this rule. Reliable factual information includes personal observations of activities in or around the proposed licensed location, as opposed to opinion, hearsay, feelings, beliefs or speculation.
