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.
