Decisions,” “Conducting Effective Land Use Reviews,” and the in-development “Citizen Planning 101.” Led by planners and land use attorneys, these three-hour interactive workshops are meant primarily as primers for planning and zoning board members, as well
as planners, council members, historic district commission members, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
