Brown, J.
— Under RCW 36.70C.080(1), a party has seven days after filing a Land Use Petition Act (LUPA) petition to note an initial hearing on jurisdictional and preliminary matters. The superior court dismissed Charles “Ray” Reeves’ LUPA petition for noncompliance with this statute. He appeals, contending the court had jurisdiction to decide his petition and the court’s dismissal denied him *155due process. We follow recent case law establishing RCW 36-.70C.080(1) is procedural, not jurisdictional, and reverse.
