Many Planning & Zoning applications, including variances, conditional uses, site plans, and certain rezoning requests, are considered through a quasi-judicial public hearing. These hearings follow legal procedures that differ from a typical public meeting.
If you plan to attend or speak at a quasi-judicial hearing, we encourage you to review the Town's Resident's Guide to the Quasi-Judicial Process. The guide explains:
