Getting the Word Out Drives Planners Mad
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Catherine McCarthy, Moni Fox, Gary Zaepfel

Public hearing notices concerning future growth and development regularly initiate the community debate process. In Washoe County, Nevada, land use planners use ArcView 3.2a with varied success to automate the public noticing task. Astute citizens have challenged GIS analysts to resolve issues of multiple parcel layers and condominium ownership. Access to GIS tools has broadened planner skills and raised unexpected viewpoints about job duties and workload.
