Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI)
Citizen involvement has been an important part of the planning process in Philomath since comprehensive planning for the City began in 1974. Since that time, numerous public meetings, workshops and hearings have been held during the development of the comprehensive plan and implementing ordinances. In addition, notices of hearings regarding quasi-judicial planning actions are sent to nearby property owners in order to allow them to be involved in hearings which may affect their property.
Philomath’s Citizen Involvement Program was updated in 2022 to expand policies directed at citizen outreach. The Citizen Involvement Program can be found in the Philomath Comprehensive Plan at:
