An administrative decision is a process that provides the opportunity for public input on a proposal without a public hearing. The Planning Director is the approving authority for this application type.

Written testimony must be provided to have standing; standing gives the legal ability to appeal a decision that is made by the Planning Director.

      April 19, 2022 Public Notice(PDF, 106KB)  

From time to time, you and your neighbors may become concerned enough about an issue in your neighborhood, or some other matter, to speak up about it in public.

In Medford and throughout Oregon, most public decisions concerning land use, zoning, budgeting, the enactment or change of laws, and many other matters, are required to go through a public hearing. Notices of public hearings are published in the newspaper, and in the case of some land use and zoning decisions, individual property owners in the area are mailed a notice. So, when you finally get motivated to speak up about something, do so! That is the purpose of the public hearing. But don’t waste your testimony!

Following are some suggestions for making the most of your opportunity to get the attention of decision makers, like the City Council, Planning Commission, or other decision making bodies, at a public hearing . 

Written comments are strongly encouraged.

Written comments that are submitted by the deadline will be made part of the record; you do not need to speak during the meeting to have standing to appeal.

What happens at most hearings is that testimony is reviewed by the decision makers with some assistance from their staff. If written testimony is specific, to the point, and persuasive, it will be given just as much attention as oral testimony. By necessity, oral testimony is limited in time so that more people can speak, but written testimony has no length limit. It may be effective to summarize your testimony orally and submit the details in writing. Written materials are most effective if submitted at least 10 days prior to the hearing, allowing ample time for review.

Plan to arrive before the meeting begins. Although there may be other hearings on the agenda, there is no telling how much time they will take. Go ahead and sign in.
