Land Use Committee
The Land Use Committee of the CNA is a board of residents that provide neighborhood feedback on development projects in Creston.
Types of items we review:
- Special land use requests
- Zoning changes/variances
- Liquor license applications or changes
- Major development projects
What we’re looking for:
- Alignment with neighborhood character
- Inclusion and emphasis on car-alternative traffic solutions
- Community benefit
- Accordance with the Creston Area Specific Plan
How the Process Works:
- Initial contact through the committee chair: alex@crestongr.com
- Please provide project information in your email.
- Meetings are the first Wednesday of every month. A two week notice is required to present to the committee.
- Presentations are no more than 10 minutes, with an 10 minute Q&A period.
- Following your presentation and Q&A, the committee will ask you to leave while they discuss the request privately. You will be informed the following day of their decision.
- Letters of support will then be drafted and provided to the full board for signature. Those meetings are the fourth Thursday of the month.
- Once signed, the letters of support will be provided to you and the planning commission or other appropriate body.
