Design Review Board

City of Concord Rules: The City of Concord has declared a local state of emergency due to COVID-19 and is closed to the public. Concord Planning Commission meetings are essential events, therefore they have not been cancelled. However, City of Concord officials and staff will conduct meetings telephonically or otherwise electronically.  The City will not make available any physical location from which members of the public may observe the meeting and offer public comment. Instead, members of the public may observe and address the meeting remotely. Below is information on how to do that.

Below you will find information on how to watch the meetings and how to make public comment. Please email the Planning Division with any questions.

HOW TO SUBMIT PUBLIC COMMENTS

Written: All comments received before 3:00 pm the day of the meeting will be posted on the City’s website as “Correspondence” under the relevant agenda item and provided to the Planning Commissioners at the meeting. Please email your comments to drbpubliccomments@cityofconcord.org.

  • If you are commenting on a particular item on the agenda, please identify the agenda item number and letter.
  • If you are commenting on an item not listed on the agenda, please identify your comment as a General Public Comment.

TO PARTICIPATE IN PUBLIC COMMENT DURING THE MEETING

Staff Reads Your Comments Aloud During the Meeting: When the Chair opens the public comment period for the relevant agenda item, please email your comments to drbpubliccomments@cityofconcord.org.  Prominently write “Read Aloud at Meeting” at the top of the email and your comments will be read into the record (not to exceed three minutes at staff’s cadence). Comments received outside of the public comment period for the relevant item will not be read aloud but will be inserted into the meeting record.
