CITIZENS ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE in the public hearing and give written or oral testimony as described above that address applicable decision criteria during that part of the hearing process designated for testimony in favor of, or opposition to, the proposal. If additional documents or evidence are provided in support of the application subsequent to notice being sent, a party may, prior to the close of the hearing, request that the record remain open for at least seven days so such material may be reviewed.

Action of the Planning Commission and Appeals: The role of the Commission is to review the proposal and make a recommendation to the Lebanon City Council. A public hearing before the Council will be subsequently scheduled and notice provided. The Council decision is the final decision unless appealed to the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA). Failure to raise an issue in the hearing, orally or in writing, or failure to provide sufficient specificity to afford the decision makers an opportunity to respond to the issue precludes appeal to LUBA based on that issue.

Obtain Information: A copy of the application, all documents and evidence relied upon by the applicant, and applicable criteria are available for inspection at no cost and will be provided at the cost of 25 cents per single-sided page. If you have questions or would like additional information, please contact City of Lebanon Community Development Department, 925 Main Street; phone 541-258-4906; email cdc@lebanonoregon.gov
