If a <br />participant requests an additional opportunity to submit testimony, the City will accommodate that request either by <br />continuing the hearing on another date or by holding the record open for more written testimony. <br />The Hearings Official will issue a written decision on the application, after the public hearing and closure of the public <br />record, as required by the Eugene Code. The Hearings Official will not make a decision at the public hearing. The <br />applicable procedures for this Type III application are primarily addressed at Sections 9.7300-9.7340 of the Eugene Code. <br />The Hearings Official's decision can be appealed to the Eugene Planning Commission. <br />Keep in mind that failure to raise an issue at the public hearing, in person or by way of written testimony, or failure to <br />provide statements or evidence with sufficient specificity to enable the Hearings Official to respond to the issue, <br />precludes an appeal based on that issue. Only those issues raised by testimony, oral or written, as part of the initial <br />hearing process may be raised in subsequent appeals (to the Eugene Planning Commission, then to the State Land Use <br />Board of Appeals). <br />Where to Find More Information <br />The application, related documents, and approval criteria are available for inspection at the Planning Division at no <br />charge; copies can be obtained at a reasonable cost.
