Additionally, should you opt to participate virtually in this public hearing, you will be able to provide oral testimony to the Land Use Hearing Officer, but you will be unable to submit documentary evidence during the public hearing. Therefore, if you opt to participate virtually in this public hearing, you must submit any documentary evidence you wish to be considered by the Land Use Hearing Officer to the staff of the Development Services Department at least two business days prior to the Land Use Hearing Officer.
