Since the last regularly scheduled Planning Board meeting, the following applications have been reviewed by staff, and public notices have been sent to solicit neighborhood input.  Decisions on these applications will be made on the dates noted below, which typically coincides with a Planning Board meeting date.  Staff will provide an update at the Planning Board meeting during Staff Communications if changes to the status of any project occur.  Decisions become final unless a member of the public files an appeal during the 10-day appeal period immediately following the decision date.  The Planning Board or City Council may also call for review a staff decision during this appeal period.  All appeals and call for reviews will be heard the Planning Board.
