In implementing these parts no governmental agency shall issue any order that is clearly in violation of the constitution of this state or of the United States.

A.

a development that has been authorized by registration and recordation of a subdivision pursuant to state laws or by a building permit or other authorization to commence development on which there has been reliance and a change of position by the developer; and

B.

the registration, recordation, or the permit or authorization of the development was issued prior to the date of legal notice of the council public hearing provided in part 4410.8700.
