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
presentations or testimony from the public should be saved for the Public Hearing.
During the Site Visit, the Planning Commission and members of the public may ask factual
questions/clarification on items related to the site. The agenda does not allow any formal votes or motions
on the proposed project or other matters. 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
