Meet your staff person in the area in front of the security desk. We ask members of the public to be courteous to the Commissioners, staff and speakers during the public hearing. Please do not interrupt the Commissioners' discussion or public testimony. Eating and drinking are not permitted in the hearing room, and conversations should not take place during hearings. Please turn off beepers and cellular phones in the hearing room.
Business attire is appropriate for public hearings.
When the Commissioners are ready to consider your application, a staff member at the hearing table will announce your property's address. Your LPC staff person will briefly describe your application and will introduce you to the Commissioners. You are not required to hire professionals to represent you or to appear with you at the hearing. For simple applications, you may wish to explain your proposal to the Commissioners yourself. For more complex applications, however, it is often a good idea to have an architect, contractor, lawyer, or managing agent help present your application.
