How to Participate
Citizen involvement in the planning process is critical to ensure that diverse interests and perspectives are considered and incorporated into the comprehensive plan. Citizens will have the opportunity to contribute throughout the planning process through the following methods.
CPCAC MEETINGS
CPCAC meetings are open to the public; however, there will not be time for public comment during the meetings. Comment cards will be available for you to share your thoughts and ideas with the CPCAC. These cards can be filled out and submitted during the meetings or they can be sent to the Department of Planning afterwards.
COMMENT CARDS
Comment cards are available for download or can be picked up at the Planning Department and during CPCAC meetings. Completed cards can be turned in at the end of CPCAC meetings, scanned or filled out online and e-mailed, or mailed to:
