Notice ORS 215.416(11)(a)(A). Josephine County is required to give
mailed notice of a land use decision without a hearing to all three categories of persons
described in statute.
- 1. Adversely Affected Persons,
- 2. Aggrieved Persons, and
- 3. Adjacent Property Owners (within certain distances of a proposed land use request)
Parties/Standing The county has established a procedure that each
participant in a land use proceeding is to establish their status as either a party or a
witness. Person(s) speaking at the hearing shall identify themselves as:
- 1. a witness, or
- 2. a party, or
- 3. a county or other public official.
Party status with the county determines how interested persons give
testimony and appeal locally. This is different than party status to appeal to LUBA.
Having the "standing" of being a locally recognized party is critical as
witnesses can not present surebuttal or summation, and they do not get as much time to
give testimony.
