Planning Commission -

Agendas, Minutes and Public Hearing Notices

Agendas for Planning Commission meetings are posted here as soon as they are prepared, generally, the Monday before the Commission meeting. 

 

Minutes are posted here once they have been approved by the Planning Commission, generally the month after the meeting occurs.

 

The third tab below provides notice of upcoming public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council and provides access to materials associated with that public hearing.

The Planning Commission generally meets the last Monday of the month.   The deadline for submitting applications for the August meeting is Friday, August 4. 

 

The Planning Department sends out an email with the Planning Commission agenda on a monthly basis. If you would like to receive the agenda delivered to your in-box, let us know.  Send us an email and we will add you to the distribution list.  We promise your name and email address will stay secure.

 

Agendas for the most recent six months are available below.   For older documents, please contact the Planning Department.  Note there was no meeting in January.  Usually, the entire packet will be posted, rather than just the agenda.  Note that the packet files are large (about 5 Mb) and downloading may be quicker if you right click on the link below and "save target as."

 

More information on each item on the agenda may be found at the Public Hearing Notices tab above.

This tab contains links to minutes from the past six months.  For older documents, please contact the Planning Department.
