Commission may limit the time for each speaker to a few minutes. You are encouraged to submit written <br />testimony if you have detailed comments you wish to make. <br />You may also state your opinion to your neighborhood group. To contact the neighborhood group, call the <br />Neighborhood Liaison Office at 682-6243 or visit the website at: www.eugene-or.gov/neighborhoods <br />All testimony received by the Planning Division will also be forwarded to the City Council; council will hold a <br />subsequent public hearing following the Planning Commission's recommendation, before any final action is taken <br />on the request. Issues which may provide the basis for an appeal to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals must <br />be raised by the person testifying not later than the close of the record at or following the final evidentiary <br />hearing on the proposal. Such issues shall be raised and accompanied by statements or evidence sufficient to <br />afford the Planning Commissioners, elected officials and parties involved an adequate opportunity to respond to <br />each issue. <br />Failure to raise an issue with sufficient specificity to afford the decision-maker and the parties involved an <br />opportunity to respond precludes appeal to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA). All decisions of the <br />elected officials are final. Appeals to LUBA are governed by ORS 197.830 to 197.845. <br />At the public hearing, testimony will first be accepted from those in support of the request, then from those that <br />are neutral, then from those in opposition. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission chair will <br />announce whether the record is closed, held open for a specified period, or continued to a specific time and place. <br />If a participant requests an additional opportunity to submit testimony, the City will accommodate that request by <br />holding the record open for more written testimony or continuing the hearing on another date. <br />The City of Eugene complies with state and federal laws and regulations relating to discrimination, including the <br />Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should <br />contact Rhonda Crocker at 541-682-5675, at least 48 hours prior to the public hearing. <br />Additional Information: <br />The application materials, including the draft code, all maps, documents and evidence, and findings on the <br />applicable criteria, are available for free inspection at the Eugene Planning and Development Department, First <br />Floor Reception, 99 West 10th Avenue, Eugene, Oregon 97401 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. <br />You may also visit our website at www.eugene-or/sw-saz for more information. <br />The staff report to the Planning Commission on this request will be available for viewing by 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, <br />May 26, 2013, on the Planning Commission's webpage at: www.eugene-or.gov/pc.
