It is the nature of cities to experience frequent turnover in elected and appointed officials. Particularly in smaller communities, councilmembers and commissioners may come to the table with very little experience in city planning.

To address this situation, Collins & Schoettler is available to conduct training seminars on various aspects of planning, including community design, zoning regulations, general plan analysis, and public hearing proceedings.

Our experience shows that getting individuals out into the field and seeing how other communities approach various planning issues is one of the most effectivive educational techniques. We are available to conduct one-day bus tours throughout Central California.
