ADJOURNMENT
The Site Visit Committee is comprised of interested Planning Commission Members. Site visits
are conducted to properties that are new items on the Planning Commission Agenda and are held
the Tuesday preceding the Wednesday hearing. 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
agenda does not allow any formal votes or motions on the proposed project or other matters. The
Site Visit is a fact-finding meeting where the Commission may ask questions from or hear
statements from members of the public attending the Visit. No comments made during the Site
Visit by the Planning Commission are binding or required to be carried through to the formal
public hearing where actions will be taken on the proposed project.
