Public Hearings

Public hearings are one way the City collects feedback on specific decisions.  Public hearings are usually conducted by the City Council or Planning Commission. The goal of a public hearing is to make sure all perspectives have been surfaced and considered. 

How do I submit a comment for a public hearing?

There are four ways for you to submit comments for a public hearing. Regardless of the methods used, you will be asked to provide your name, address, and comment. You only need to participate using one method. All comments are valued and considered regardless of the way they are submitted.
