Help! I saw a rezoning sign or got a postcard in the mail. What should I do?

Land use is a very emotional topic for all parties. We’ve been there. We’ve asked the questions, done the research. We know how overwhelming and frustrating the process can be.

What you need to know: from the time that you receive a public notification, either by mail or signage, the process happens quickly and you will need to act accordingly. The Applicant has had months, maybe years, to prepare for their request. Citizens have weeks to prepare their response, so time is critically important.
