Planning Commission Application

Planning Commission - General Infomation

Types of Applications

The Planning Commission hears a variety of public hearing requests; most common are resurvey plats and rezoning.  Please see Part II of the Planning Commission application for examples of application types.

Applying for a hearing by the Planning Commission

Contact the City Planner listed at the bottom of the submission checklist to discuss/review the characteristics of the proposed project.  A phone call or an email will often suffice, but you may request an appointment to meet via zoom or in person.  It is recommended that this conversation and initial project review take place before an application is submitted; in some types of applications it is required by city ordinance that a pre-application conference take place within a specific time frame prior to making an application.
