Hearing Notice (Planning Commission 7-14-2015)

3. Attend the public hearing on July 14, 2015 and state your concerns. Your spoken testimony will be recorded. The Planning Commission may limit the time for each speaker to a few minutes. You are encouraged to submit written testimony if you have detailed comments you wish to make. You may also state your opinion to your neighborhood group. To contact the neighborhood group, call the Neighborhood Liaison Office at 682-6243 or visit the website at: www.eugene-or.gov/neighborhoods All testimony received by the Planning Division will also be forwarded to the City Council; Council will hold a subsequent public hearing following the Planning Commission's recommendation, before any final action is taken on the request. Issues which may provide the basis for an appeal to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals must be raised by the person testifying not later than the close of the record at or following the final evidentiary hearing on the proposal. Such issues shall be raised and accompanied by statements or evidence sufficient to afford the Planning Commissioners, elected officials and parties involved an adequate opportunity to respond to each issue. Failure to raise an issue with sufficient specificity to afford the decision-maker and the parties involved an opportunity to respond precludes appeal to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA). All decisions of the elected officials are final. A party may appeal the decision to LUBA within 21 days of the decision of the elected officials. Appeals to LUBA are governed by ORS 197.830 to 197.845. At the public hearing, testimony will first be accepted from the applicant and those in support of the request, then from those that are neutral, then from those in opposition. The applicant will also be given an opportunity for final rebuttal. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission chair will announce whether the record is closed, held open for a specified period, or continued to a specific time and place. If a participant requests an additional opportunity to submit testimony, the City will accommodate that request by holding the record open for more written testimony or continuing the hearing on another date.
