What process is involved in getting my property rezoned or obtaining a provisional use permit?
A rezoning or provisional use permit request can take as little as 10 weeks or it may take several months, if deferrals are requested. The submission deadline for any given Planning Commission public hearing is approximately 6 weeks prior to the meeting; see the schedule of submission deadlines for more information. Cases acted on by the Planning Commission in any given month will be scheduled for public hearing by the Board of Supervisors the following month. For instance, requests filed by May 28, 1998 would be scheduled for Planning Commission public hearing on July 9, 1998, and if acted upon, would then be scheduled for Board of Supervisors public hearing on August 12, 1998. The Planning Commission considers rezoning and provisional use permit requests on the first Thursday following the second Wednesday of the month. On rare occasions, a public hearing on a case may be deferred to another meeting. County Staff Review Before the request is heard by the Planning Commission, members
