PUBLIC HEARING PROCEDURE

The Planning Commission must make its decision based on facts.  Prior to the hearing, staff will identify the applicable substantive criteria which have also been listed in the staff report.  These are the criteria the Planning Commission must use in making its decision.  All testimony and evidence must be directed toward these criteria or other criteria in the Plan or Land Use Regulations which you believe applies to the decision per ORS 197.763 (5).  Failure to raise an issue accompanied by statements or evidence sufficient to afford the Planning Commission and parties involved an opportunity to respond to the issue may preclude an appeal based on that issue.  Prior to the conclusion of the initial evidentiary hearing, any participant may request more time to present additional evidence, arguments or testimony regarding the application.
