Commissioners debate listing adjacent property owners in hearing packets
Summary
Commissioners questioned whether packet materials should list adjacent property owners' names, citing potential harassment and privacy concerns. Staff noted owner names are public record and suggested limiting name listing to commercial properties to assist review.
Commissioners debated whether to require adjacent property owners' names to appear in meeting packets and public materials. Several commissioners said putting owner names in front of the public could invite harassment and should be limited to commercial parcels, while staff noted the information is part of the public record and useful when evaluating site impacts.
Reagan said owner names are county-record information and suggested a middle-ground approach: include commercial owners' names in the packet for clarity while avoiding routine publication of residential owners' names. Commissioners asked staff to clarify packet language and to ensure that the application and notice process balances transparency with privacy and safety concerns.
