Assignment 1: Land Use Hearings

[Home | Overview | Syllabus | Schedule | Links]


This assignment is intended to familiarize students with the land use hearing process. One way to gain exposure to how land use decisions are made is to attend a planning commission meeting.

Your assignment is to attend a meeting and provide a summary of the meeting including:

  • What items were on the agenda?
  • What procedure did the commission use in hearing cases?
  • What types of land use decisions were made (if any)?
  • How were the decisions made?
  • What role did the public play in the meeting?
  • How effective do you think the process was?

Below are links to local public meeting calendars. 

Your summary should be in the form of a 2-4 page memorandum to me. Assignments are due in class on Thursday, February 14.
