How are citizens notified of upcoming planning or zoning requests?
Applications for zoning actions, subdivisions, and site plans are announced in a variety of ways. Mailed notices are typically sent to the property owner of record for properties adjacent and contiguous to the proposed project site, and to persons and organizations that have requested written notice. Projects requiring a public hearing are also noticed through newspaper legal advertisements. The county also posts signs announcing proposed development requests near proposed project sites. These signs include a three-digit code (the last three digits of the proposed case number) and the phone number of the Planning Department’s teleworks information system (751-4700). This system provides 24-hour automated basic information about the proposed application. Click here for additional project information for upcoming public hearings.
