Code Updates: Dates you should know

Code Updates:  Dates you should know

Note: Information on all code changes, how to make comments, contact persons, dates for hearings, etc. Are on the main page for this topic.  I strongly encourage you to visit this page for updates and helpful information.

The planning department is making a sincere effort to incorporate public comments into their work and/or presentations to council, so PLEASE take the opportunities to do so.  1.  Make written comments to the planning staff (see instructions on main page above)  on each code section.  2.  Write testimony for the Planning Commission Public Hearings (or testify in person).   3.  Tell your friends.

 

Very Soon: 
Testify at the Planning Commission Hearing on May 28.  Testimony in writing at least a day in advance, preferably sooner, is welcomed.  Label your correspondence "Testimony" with the land use number (in this case LU 14-0014) and the meeting date.  Persons may also testify in person even if they have submitted written testimony.
