NATURE OF MEETING:  The Central Point City Council will hold a public hearing on Thursday, March 10, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. at the Central Point City Hall, 140 S. Third Street, Central Point, Oregon.  The public hearing is for the purpose of hearing the appeals filed by L. Calvin Martin and David J. Smith regarding the Central Point Planning Commission’s decision, as set forth in Resolution 827, approving a Conditional Use Permit for the development of a membership warehouse and fuel facility on property within the M-1 zoning district.  The project site is identified on the Jackson County Assessor’s map as 37S 2W 12B, Tax Lots 213, 214, 215 and 216.  File No. 15022.  Applicant: Costco Wholesale; Agent: Steve Bullock, MG2.

The scope of the appeal is limited to the issues and evidence in the record before the Planning Commission meaning new evidence cannot be submitted to the City Council. Participants may appear orally or in writing, but all such comments must be limited to legal arguments, or comments as to the validity of evidence presented to the Planning Commission.  Written comments may be submitted up until the close of the public hearing, and may be sent in advance of the hearing to Central Point City Hall, 140 South Third Street, Central Point, OR 97502.  At the hearing, City Council review shall be limited to: the record made before the planning commission.  The City Council shall not re-examine issues of fact.  At the conclusion of the review, the City Council will affirm, reverse, remand or amend the Planning Commission’s decision.  The City Council’s decision is the final decision of the city.

Failure to raise an issue in person, or in writing at the hearing, or failure to provide sufficient specificity to afford the City Council an opportunity to respond to the issues, precludes an appeal to the State Land Use Board of Appeals on that issue.

CRITERIA FOR DECISION:  Conditional Use Permit criteria are contained in the Central Point Municipal Code Section 17.76.040 and the procedures for Type III appeals are set forth in Section 17.05.400(F).
