ADJOURNMENT
The Site Visit Committee is comprised of interested Planning Commission Members. The
committee conducts site visits to properties that are new items on the Planning Commission
Agenda. The site visits are held on the Tuesday preceding the Wednesday hearing, between 3:30
p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
It is encouraged that the applicant and/or owner to be present to answer any questions that may
arise. Site visits are generally short (10 to 20 minutes) because of time constraints. Any
presentations and testimony you may wish to give should be saved for the Public Hearing.
During the Site Visit, the Planning Commission may only discuss items related to the project. The

be carried through to the formal public hearing where actions will be taken on the proposed project.
