Which local residents are notified regarding a potential variance, conditional use or a rezone?
Notice of the case and its subsequent public hearing is sent to the owners of property within 500 feet of the proposed case or to owners of the nearest 50 parcels of land, whichever is the greater number. If you receive notice in the mail, this gives you a prime opportunity to express your concerns. Submitting your comments in writing to the Planning Department staff prior to the public hearing will ensure that your comments are distributed to Board or Commission members before the hearing. This gives members an opportunity to do further research regarding your comments. Even if you have already submitted written comments it can be helpful to testify at the hearing, also. This gives the Board or Commission members a chance to ask questions.
