It is imperative that residents and other affected parties review these changes before the public hearing to facilitate a more informed and productive discussion.

Your participation in this process is crucial to ensuring that the Zoning Map Amendment reflects the diverse needs and aspirations of our community. In the interest of efficient planning and organization, we kindly request that any person wishing to speak at the public hearing inform the [City Council/Planning Commission/County Board of Commissioners] office in advance, either by phone at [Contact Number] or by email at [Contact Email].
