Planning Commission Agenda & Reports

Hi all,

This week’s Monterey County Planning Commission agenda for the meeting Wednesday 3/30 includes a workshop on the medical marijuana ordinance and a status report on efforts to create short term rental and event ordinances. Here is a link to a page on the County website for the Planning Department of the Resource Management Agency (boy that’s a mouthful) where you can download the agenda:

Monterey County Planning Agenda

or copy and paste the info below into your browser.

http://www.co.monterey.ca.us/government/departments-i-z/resource-management-agency-rma-/planning/committees-agendas/planning-commission/agendas-reports-2016

The agenda has active links to the staff reports for these items, and the page should provide those interested in following along and able to access video with instructions about how to watch online if you would like to do that. If you would like to attend that is fine too as these hearings are open to anyone. The public will have a chance to speak on each item (usually limited to 3 minutes though). Letters and emails are always a good way to provide your thoughts as well: I know I read them carefully, and I believe other Commissioners do too.

Best,
Martha
