What are “findings of fact,” and how can city officials use them to make smart, defensible land use decisions?
City leaders, council members, and planning commissioners are faced with a variety of tough decisions related to city land use. From zoning variances and conditional use permits to plat approval, making smart and fair land use decisions can be complex.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to create and use “findings of fact” as part of your city’s land use decisions. Findings of fact are written explanations that outline the reasoning behind a city’s approval or denial of a land use request. You don’t need to be an attorney to use this tool—findings of fact can help both new and experienced decision-makers navigate complex zoning and planning issues with clarity and fairness.
By attending this webinar you will:
- Understand the role of factual findings in local land use regulation
- Get tips on how to stay on track when developing factual finding
- Appreciate the importance of creating a record to support local decisions
