Public Hearings

City Council

Planning & Zoning

The Purpose of ​a ​Public Hearing:
The purpose of public hearings is to provide an opportunity for citizens to provide and receive information associated with decisions to be made by the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council. These governing bodies rely on the information gathered at the public hearings to provide a comprehensive view of how the proposed application will impact the entire community. Public hearings are not intended to be confrontational or an intimidating process, but are intended to gather valuable information to aid in the decision-making process.

 Hearings on Planning and Zoning Code issues involving individual property rights MUST follow specific guidelines and an application process to ensure a fair hearing and protect the rights of the applicant and other property owners who may be affected by the request.
