Hearing Examiner

If the property being platted is five (5) acres or less in size, five (5) lots or less, and does not create any new public or private streets, then it can be reviewed through the Hearing Examiner process. The Hearing Examiner process takes approximately 10-15 days to complete.

The Director of the Development and Planning Department (or his/her designee) acts as the Hearing Examiner for the Planning Commission. The review process is the same as the Planning Commission, however, the approval time is shorter.

The Planning Commission must ratify all actions of the Hearing Examiner. Any action of the Hearing Examiner can be appealed to the Planning Commission.
