Public Notice (City Council Hearing)

Decision-Making Process The land use applications described above were first considered by the Eugene Planning Commission. At the time of this notice, the Planning Commission's recommendations to the City Council were not yet final. When finalized, the Planning Commission's recommendations may be viewed here: https://pdd.eugene-or.gov/LandUse/SearchApplicationDocuments?file=CA-19-0001 In making their decision on the land use applications noted above, the Eugene City Council will address the relevant approval criteria from the Eugene Code at Sections 9.8065, 9.8424, 9.8470 and 9.4980, 9.8515, 9.8815, and 9.8865. Testimony provided to the City Council is not limited to specific issues. Any written and spoken testimony (evidence and argument) should be directed toward the applicable criteria of the Eugene Code, or other criteria or land use regulations that the person testifying believes to apply to the decision. Following the public hearing, the Council will decide at a separate meeting whether to approve, modify, or deny the proposed ordinance. Council deliberations and possible action is currently scheduled for July 17, 2019. Hearing Procedures The public hearing will be held in accordance with quasi-judicial hearing procedures required under the Eugene Code and State law. 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 City Council and parties involved an adequate opportunity to respond to each issue. 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. 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.
