The Hearing Officer hears and makes the final decision on certain conditional uses, as specified in the Plan Commission rules.
The Hearing Officer also hears and makes final decisions on certain variances from development standards. As with the Plat Committee, the Hearing Officer can meet more often and at more convenient hours than the full Plan Commission or Board of Zoning Appeals, thus improving service to citizens.
