| *Deadlines for staff to meet | ||||
The above table provides the deadline for application to the Planning Commission for their regularly scheduled meetings to allow for required public notifications and preparation prior to the meeting. Submission by the deadline does not assure that the application will be considered at the next Planning Commission meeting, nor at the identified City Council meeting. The agenda may be determined to be full prior to the deadline and applications will then be moved to a following meeting for review. Consultation with the Zoning Administrator is always advisable prior to application submission to determine submission requirements and anticipated timeline for review.
