Community Involvement Policy 
Early public outreach helps educate and encourage communication, providing more certainty to developers and project applicants. Projects that incorporate feedback from the community ultimately result in improved outcomes. It has been Staff’s experience that the more outreach a project applicant does in advance of applying, the more successful the project outcome.  Additionally, staff will reflect in public hearings the level of outreach conducted, as this is of high interest to the Planning Commission and the County Board of Supervisors.  Click Here to view the Community Involvement Policy, its applicability, and requirements for land use applications in the unincorporated area of Solano County.
