Several case types do not require Planning Commission hearings, but go straight to the City Council for
approval. These cases include, but are not limited to:
The City Council approval process is a public hearing
process, which begins with a pre-application meeting between
the applicant and City staff, and then moves forward through the public hearing
process.
Public Involvement
For Hardship Exemptions, at the time of formal submittal, a postcard
notification will be sent to surrounding property owners notifying them of the
request. Prior to the public hearing, a hearing date sign
(similar to an abandonment sign) will be posted on the subject property and case
information will be posted to the Case Fact Sheets.
If you have questions regarding the City Council hearing process please contact Current
Planning at 480-312-7000.
