Welcome to Community Development

By a majority vote on June 3rd, the City Council elected to uphold the Planning Commission's decision of approval of the Teevin Bros. TIA and not to hold another public hearing.

On May 28, 2013, an appeal to the City Council of the Planning Commission's approval of the Teevin Bros. Traffic Impact Analysis was received from Sean T.

The Council may elect to accept the Planning Commission's decision as final and not hear the appeal. If the Council chooses to conduct a hearing, they may either do so on the record, restricitng the hearing to material that is already in the record and no additional information will be accepted; or they may proceed with a full evidentiary hearing.
