Will the public hearing be conducted differently because of COVID?

Yes. In September 2020, the Plan Commission adopted new public hearing protocols to ensure the health and safety of participants. The new protocols, which can be found here, allow for remote participation in public hearings in order to comply with gathering restrictions issued by the State of Illinois.

Under the remote public hearing protocol, Petitioners will present their entire case before questions and comments from the general public are accepted. Only Plan Commissioners and established Interested Parties will be able to question a witness directly after individual testimony. See question "Will the public have an opportunity to ask questions or make comments on the case" for information on how and when questions and comments from members of the public will be received and heard.
