STANDING TO APPEAL AND ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE FOR VARIANCE REQUESTS  
AND APPEALS OF ADMINISTRATIVE DECISIONS  
The Land Use Hearing Officer Public Hearing for Variance Requests and Appeals of Administrative Decisions  
is the time for all interested citizens to present evidence and testimony. This evidence and testimony will be the  
only evidence subject to review by the appeal board if an appeal is filed. This means that, at the end of today’s  
Public Hearing, the record closes and no new evidence may be submitted as part of the record. Any decision of  
the Land Use Hearing Officer may be appealed to the Land Use Appeals Board, except Appeals of  
Administrative Decisions.  
The Appeals Board will only consider the Land Use Hearing Officer’s decision and the record of the public  
hearing in making a final decision on petitions. The hearing shall be limited to the record on appeal and shall  
consist of oral argument by the Administrator, the party appealing the decision, and any interveners, each of  
whom may be represented by legal counsel.  
The following shall have standing to appeal a decision of the Land Use Hearing Officer or to intervene in an  
appeal:  
1. The Applicant  
2. Any person or entity which appeared before the Land Use Hearing Officer, presented testimony or other  
evidence, and is adversely affected by the decision of the Land Use Hearing Officer.  
It is the County Attorney Office’s role to assure that no new evidence or testimony is allowed before the Appeals  
Board or the Land Use Hearing Officer. The County Attorney will recommend that the Appeals Board or the  
Land Use Hearing Officer disregard evidence or testimony which is not contained in the record. Any evidence  
presented which is outside the record made at today’s public hearing could jeopardize the legality of the Appeals  
Board’s decision and the presenter of that evidence could hurt his/her own cause. The requirements and  
limitations listed above shall apply to all appeals of Administrative Decisions being reviewed by the Land Use  
Hearing Officer during today’s hearing.  
The safest course of action is for you to write down your comments today and repeat those to the Appeals Board.  
Therefore, please be sure that all information which you wish to be heard by the Appeals Board is contained in  
the record today.
