Testify Before the Planning Commission
The Planning Commission wants to hear from you. We take comments from community members regarding any issue at every meeting. Look for information about our upcoming meetings on the calendar and view recent agendas.
When providing comments or testimony, please keep remarks brief and directed to the Planning Commission as a body, not the audience, staff or the applicant. Please limit your testimony or comments to 3 minutes, or about 400 words.
