determines that the issue raised on appeal is not within the
commission's jurisdiction or does not raise an appealable issue.

commission may decide by majority vote to review on appeal any action
taken by a local government or other local agency in implementing

the commission believes the action may be inconsistent with the
resource management plan, or this division.

the resources management plan, and this division.
