Given the quasi-judicial nature of land use cases, we wish to advise the applicant, members of the public
and press that in order to provide due process to the applicant and the public, the City Council is only
allowed to consider communications that occur during the public hearing and matters set forth in the
record. Consequently, City Council Members cannot engage in conversations about any land use
applications before the hearing or during a break from the hearing. The purpose of this restriction is to
ensure a fair, unbiased process and to allow the City Council to make an impartial, objective decision on
the case. We are also not permitted to discuss any land use case that is scheduled to come before the
City Council in the future.
