Still have much to to learn, but a few points... Commissioners, City Councilors, etc. provide erroneous information? I have certainly seen that happen before. comes to the interpretation and enforcement of development regulations? In my opinion, the 8 standards for site plan approval are seldom given much consideration.

There has been some discussion that input from citizens is mere opinion and just wastes the time of the Commission. As protectors of citizen involvement in the processes of City Government I would advocate a strong position against changing the nature of Planning Commission and Council Committees and continue to support more citizen input rather than agree to less. What citizen group has the money to hire experts to advocate their case. I think this is flat wrong for anything other than Board of Adjustment Hearings which are clearly established as quasi-judicial hearings already.
