The meetings are a forum to allow the applicant, county agencies, and other agencies of jurisdiction an opportunity to discuss a project as well as identify any deficiencies in the application, to request additional information or otherwise identify what will be required in order that the County can issue a permit, other approval or proceed to public hearing with a project. Although these are not 'open public meetings' under State law, occasionally we have been asked by neighbors or other parties interested in a project whether they can sit in and observe the meeting with the intent of taking information back to others. It is important to understand that these meetings are not a public meeting or a public hearing. Space may be limited. Staff representing several local and state agencies typically attend as well as several representatives of the project.
Time is limited.
Depending on the scope of the project there can be a wide variety of regulations, issues and concerns that need to be addressed. If you would like to attend, please contact the indicated County staff representative via e-mail or at the listed phone number 24 hours in advance so we can assure adequate accommodations.
