SITE VISIT INFORMATION
Site visits are fact-finding meetings, conducted to properties that are new items on the Planning
Commission Agenda and are usually 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 from Planning
Commission members. Site visits are generally short (10 to 15 minutes) because of time constraints. Any
