Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Attend the Zoning Committee meeting, held on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 7 pm by Zoom and open to the public..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Zoning Committee meetings are held monthly by Zoom on the 4th Tuesday at 7 pm and are open to the public. Committee members review project materials before each meeting, and the co-chairs call on people in turn. The site does not say how long a meeting lasts or how many people usually attend.
Tips for your first visit
- Read the agendas and reports page first to see which projects are on the list.
- Keep comments to zoning code and quality of life topics, and wait for the co-chair to call on you.
- To sit on the committee, send a short resume and a statement of interest by email; you must be a CCRA member first.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The monthly zoning meetings are open to the public. Joining the committee itself needs CCRA membership and a short resume, which is less casual..
