At the hearing, the Hearings Official will ask for (1) <br />testimony that supports the request, (2) testimony that neither supports nor opposes the request, and <br />(3) testimony that opposes the request. Instructions to provide testimony at the appropriate time will be <br />provided during the hearing and the hearing will be recorded. <br />❖ Contact your neighborhood organization to discuss this proposal. This application falls within the <br />boundaries of the River Road Community Organization. To obtain contact information for the <br />neighborhood association, call the City's Neighborhood Services Office at 541-682-5711, or visit: <br />http://www.eugene-or.gov/1128/Neighborhood-Services <br />The public hearing provides an opportunity to submit factual information or raise issues concerning the application. <br />If a participant requests an additional opportunity to submit testimony, the City will accommodate that request <br />either by 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 <br />public record, as required by the Eugene Code. The Hearings Official will not make a decision at the public hearing. <br />The applicable procedures for this Type III application are primarily addressed at Sections 9.7300-9.7340 of the <br />Eugene Code. 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 <br />to 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 <br />Use 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.
