Commissioner urges better public notice after large CUP drew misinformation
Summary
A commissioner said recent CUP proceedings prompted public confusion and misinformation and urged more notice and time for large items so the community can participate effectively.
A commissioner raised concerns about public outreach and transparency in the CUP process, saying a previous conditional-use permit generated significant public interest and later misinformation. The commissioner asked whether the commission should consider giving larger items more notice or additional time for public comment to improve community awareness.
"It's like, I didn't hear anything about it... There was a big turnout... I think that, the public process is important and that we have everybody aware of what's happening," the commissioner said, urging staff to consider changes to notice and scheduling for items that draw greater interest. Chair and staff acknowledged the concern and said they would consider options to increase public awareness and clarity for future items.
