Public Participation

How to Participate and Comment
The ordinance itself is not a land use plan or development regulation, so the process for adoption is a bit different from that for other land use proposals. The Board will announce public comment periods or public hearings, which will appear on this page and be distributed via e-mail list. Commenters should follow the process in any announced public comment opportunities to ensure their comments are included in the record.
