Only comments on the applicable criteria are considered relevant evidence. The hearing will be opened for presentation by the city and the applicant and then opened to the public. The hearing can be closed or continued at the discretion of the Planning Commission. After the comment period closes on the public hearing, the Planning Commission shall make a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council will then hold additional public hearings and then the city will be adopting an ordinance that will then need to be adopted by Washington County prior to submittal to DLCD for acknowledgment. Thus, the traditional notice of decision and opportunity to appeal to LUBA after ordinance adoption doesn’t apply here. The decision shall be mailed to the applicant and to anyone else who submitted written comments or who is otherwise legally entitled to notice. Publish July 27, 2023 NT296720
