It is once again time for ISU Extension and Outreach Introduction to Planning and Zoning workshops. It is a three-hour workshop designed to introduce the basic principles of land use planning and development management to elected officials, planning and zoning officials, and board of adjustment members without formal training in the subjects. Using case scenarios in a highly-interactive format, the workshop highlights issues frequently faced in the land use process. The workshop is offered annually in eight locations across the state. Locations change from year-to-year so that city and county officials are able to attend a location near them at least once every two years. The dates and locations for Spring 2012 are:
Tuesday, March 20, 2012 – Arrowood Resort, Okoboji
Wednesday, March 21, 2012 – Best Western Holiday Lodge, Clear Lake
Wednesday, March 28, 2012 – Comfort Inn, Burlington
Thursday, March 29 – Clarion Hotel, Cedar Rapids
Tuesday, April 3 – Hotel Winneshiek, Decorah
Wednesday, April 4 – Carrollton Inn, Carroll
Tuesday, April 10 – Bev’s on the River, Sioux City
Wednesday, April 11 – Red Coach Inn, Red Oak
All workshops begin with registration and a light supper at 5:30 p.m. The program begins at 6:00 p.m. and concludes by 8:45 p.m. The registration fee is $55 per individual. This fee is reduced to $45 per individual if a city or county registers 5 or more officials to attend. The fee covers the workshop instruction, workshop materials, and supper.
In January we will post a link to the registration brochure on the Intro to Planning and Zoning Workshops page (link to that page is above).
