At the hearing, the Hearings Official will ask <br />for any testimony which supports the request, which neither supports nor opposes the request, <br />and which opposes the request. Your spoken testimony will be recorded in the minutes of the <br />hearing. <br />The public hearing provides an opportunity to submit factual information or raise issues concerning the <br />application. If a participant requests an additional opportunity to submit testimony, the City will <br />accommodate that request either by continuing-the hearing on another date or by holding the record <br />open for more written testimony. <br />The Hearings Official will issue a written decision on the application, subsequent to the public hearing <br />and closure of the public record, in accordance with procedural requirements of the Eugene Code. The <br />applicable procedures for this Type III application are primarily addressed at Sections 9.7300-9.7340 of <br />the Eugene Code. It is noted that the Hearings Official's decision can be appealed to the Eugene <br />Planning Commission. <br />Keep in mind that failure to raise an issue at the public hearing, in person or by way of written <br />testimony, or failure to provide statements or evidence with sufficient specificity to enable the Hearings <br />Official to respond to the issue, precludes an appeal based on that issue. Only those issues raised by <br />testimony, oral or written, as part of the initial hearing process may be raised in subsequent appeals (to <br />the Eugene Planning Commission, then to the State Land Use Board of Appeals). <br />Additional Information <br />The application, related documents, and approval criteria are available for inspection at the Planning <br />Division at no charge; copies can be obtained for $.25 per page.
