DATE AND TIME OF HEARING:  May 8, 2024: 6:00 pm.   

LOCATION OF HEARING:   Keizer City Council Chambers, Keizer City Hall, 930 Chemawa Road NE, Keizer.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:   Anyone desiring to speak for or against the proposal may do so in person, or by representative, at the public hearing or may submit written comments to the Keizer Planning Department (930 Chemawa Road NE, Keizer, 97307, or withams@keizer.org) prior to the public hearing, and must be received no later than 4:00 pm on the day of the hearing.  The file, along with the staff recommendation relating to the above land use case, may be reviewed on-line at www.keizer.org, or hard copies may be obtained at City Hall for a reasonable cost after May 1, 2024. After the close of the hearing, the Planning Commission will forward their recommendation to the City Council for their consideration.  Interested persons should become involved in the decision-making process.  Failure to raise an issue, either in person or in writing, or failure to provide sufficient specificity to afford the decision-making body an opportunity to respond to the issue precludes appeal to the Land Use Board of Appeals based on that issue.
