Special Notes:
At its meeting on the second Thursday of each month, the Planning Board makes recommendations on changes to the zoning ordinances, both changes to the map indicating how property is zoned and changes in the regulations as written in the text of the city and county zoning ordinances, and approves land subdivisions.
The meeting on the fourth Thursday is a work session for the consideration of long range planning matters. The Wednesday meeting provides the opportunity for members to visit the location of property proposed for rezoning. All meetings are open to the public.
