HOW LONG WILL THE LAND USE HEARING LAST?
The length of a public hearing depends on the complexity of the issues involved and the number of participants. There is no predetermined minimum or maximum length for a public hearing. A public hearing will usually take at least one hour to complete and will usually be completed in 1-3 hours. If there are a large number of witnesses and significant opposition to a proposal, a public hearing can take a day or more to complete. In rare cases, the hearing can take place over multiple days.
