The notices are published at least once in the city’s official newspaper, city website, distributed by mail, posted at City Hall, and/or posted on the subject property, as applicable.
If you happen to see a yellow or white land use action sign posted within the City, or you received a notice in the mail, additional information on the proposal, including submittal documents, can be found on this page by clicking the Project Name link.

The New Projects Map can also be used to learn more about recently proposed land use actions or public notices. The map features only those proposals that are subject to City noticing requirements, which are generally larger projects that are subject to environmental review or public hearings and subdivisions. This map resource is not a comprehensive listing of all proposals for which the city must make a decision and also is not for capital projects.
