Virtual Participation Option: Hillsborough County is making it possible for interested parties to participate in this public hearing by means of communications media technology. In order to participate virtually, you must have access to a communications media device (such as a tablet or a computer equipped with a camera and microphone) that will enable you to be seen (video) and heard (audio) by the Land Use Hearing Officer during the public hearing. Additionally, should you opt to participate virtually in this public hearing, you will be able to provide oral testimony to the Land Use Hearing Officer, but you will be unable to submit documentary evidence during the public hearing. Therefore, if you opt to participate virtually in this public hearing, you must submit any documentary evidence you wish to be considered by the Land Use Hearing Officer to the staff of the Development Services Department at least two business days prior to the Land Use Hearing Officer Hearing.

You will be required to provide your name and telephone number on the online form. This information is being requested to facilitate the audio-conferencing process. The Land Use Hearing Officer will call on speakers by name in the order in which they have completed the online Public Comment Signup Form, depending on the application(s) to which each speaker signed up to speak. An audio call-in number will be provided to participants who have completed the form after it is received by the County. All callers will be muted upon calling and will be unmuted in the submission order after being recognized by the Land Use Hearing Officer by name. Call submissions for the public hearing will close 30 minutes prior to the start of the hearing on the day of the hearing. Public comments offered using communications media technology will be afforded equal consideration as if the public comments were offered in person.
