The Administration & Regulatory Affairs and Public Works and Engineering Departments reviewed the applications and held a public hearing on October 12, 2015 to discuss and ensure any outstanding issues with the proposed area were satisfactorily resolved within the community. The required public hearing notice was sent to all addresses within a 200’ boundary of the requested zone, in addition to the active Super Neighborhood contacts provided by the Department of Neighborhoods. Notice for the public hearing was also sent to the active civic groups in the requested zone.
