Review Criteria for the Authorization of Public
Hearing

• Pursuant to Section 4.05(5), with respect to
  petitions for Adoption or Amendment of Land Use
  District Boundary, the Commission shall consider
  all requests submitted in a timely manner for a
  hearing on a petition for a change in district
  boundaries. Holding the hearing is at the
  discretion of the Commission unless otherwise
  required by the Constitution of Maine or statute
  or if five or more interested persons request in
  writing that the Commission hold a hearing, in
  which case a hearing must be held. In
  determining whether a hearing is advisable, the
  Commission shall consider the degree of public
  interest and the likelihood that information
  presented at the hearing will be of assistance to
  the Commission reaching its decision.

Staff Recommendation
