Planning Calendars/Schedules

Please note that our calendar formats have changed to ensure compliance with the Permit Streamlining Act. All new project submittals will be reviewed for completeness prior to scheduling for a particular hearing or meeting. A 30-day period for this review is allowed by law. At the end of this period, applicants will receive written notice of the status of their application. Completed applications will be scheduled for hearings/meetings while those that are deemed incomplete will require additional information before a hearing/meeting date can be determined.

If a member of our Planning team has been assigned to your project, please call them to set an appointment for visits to minimize your wait time.
