Communicating with County Zoning:

 

To be in the public hearing record, letters of support or opposition must be received in the zoning office by noon on the Wednesday prior to the Planning Commission and Board of Commissioners' public meetings. Materials received in time are placed in the case file as part of the public record. Materials that arrive too late for the Planning Commission Meeting will be added to the public case file before the Board of Commissioners meeting.

 

Email letters are acceptable.

 

The County Staff may not routinely copy and distribute copies of all zoning or variance related letters and email received by the Zoning Division to the Planning Commissioners or to the Board of Commissioners. If you want to be sure and address the Commissions you should address your letters and email to the appropriate Commissioners..

 

Please send a copy to the Zoning Division for the public file.

 

The public is invited to present their opinions at both public meetings. Additional materials, letters, petitions, etc can also be entered into the official record at the public hearings.

 

Of course, I will be glad to receive your suggestions at any time.

The final decision on all zoning cases is made by the Board of Commissioners at their next public zoning meeting. The vote of the Planning Commission represents a recommendation to the BOC. The Planning Commission also develops many of the "stipulations", with the help of staff, that go on to become part of the BOC's final vote.

 

The final decision on Variance Cases is made by the Planning Commissioners sitting as the Board of Zoning Appeals, with certain exceptions where the Board Of Commissioners has reserved the final decision
