We’re starting to update the City’s Environmental Critical Areas (ECA) code, and we want to hear from you. If you’ve been through the permitting process or have critical areas on your property, such as steep slopes, wetlands, or streams, your experience can help shape our updates.
We’re hosting four one-hour online listening sessions this month to hear from people who work with critical areas. The first three sessions are geared toward specific groups, and the fourth is open to anyone.
- Session 1: Local Watershed Groups
Thursday, October 22, 11 AM – noon
Register Here - Session 2: Environmental Organizations
Friday, October 23, 11 AM – noon
Register Here - Session 3: Environmental Professionals
Wednesday, October 28, noon – 1 PM
Register Here - Session 4: Open Session
(all interested stakeholders, including those with permitting experience)
Thursday, October 29, noon – 1 PM
