Meeting Agenda

10:00 a.m.

“Planning Decisions Are Based on Findings”

Because every planning decision must be backed by findings—written justifications that connect the project to the law, community plans, and environmental impacts.

Join us for an interactive discussion designed for volunteers serving on local land use committees.

We’ll explore:

• What “findings” really mean in planning decisions
• How to read and respond to them
• Why your comments matter (and how to make them count)

📌 Whether you’re new to land use or experienced but curious—this session will sharpen your skills and deepen your understanding of the process.

👉 Come learn how to spot weak findings, write better responses, and shape better outcomes.

Denzel Henderson from City Planning will also share updates from the July meeting and join the conversation about “Findings” + more updates.

We will also have our PlanCheckNC Roundtable
