Hearing examiner continues Washington State University rezone application to June over noticing
Summary
The Richland hearing examiner opened a Washington State University rezone application during the May 11 docket but continued the item to June after confirming possible mailing/notice errors, inviting written comments in the interim.
The City of Richland hearing examiner, Gary McLean, opened a publicly noticed rezone application filed by Washington State University but announced it would be continued to the June docket to ensure noticing was perfected.
McLean told those present that although the application had been advertised, he was not certain that notices had mailed properly and that he would "open it tonight and then tell everybody that we are going to continue this to the June docket just to protect perfect noticing issues." He formally stated, "I will hereby announce that this matter is being continued to our June docket of hearings." The examiner invited written comments to be submitted before the continued hearing.
The examiner identified the item by file number PLN T3A2020 when opening the matter and said anyone wishing to comment could appear at the June docket or submit written comments in the interim. No members of the public were present to speak on this WSU application during the May 11 session.
The continuation preserves public-comment rights and allows staff and the applicant to confirm mailing and record-keeping before the matter proceeds.
