The City of Hastings offers several ways for people to provide input on applications to the Hastings Planning Commission. Regardless of the method, all public input is considered, so people need to use only one method. 

Instructions for leaving a public comment are below:

  • Your comment will be available to the Planning Commission, City Council, staff, and others to review immediately instead of waiting until the public hearing.
  • Your comment will be posted and publicly viewable as soon as you hit 'Submit'.
  • Please introduce yourself, your neighborhood, and your thoughts about this project.
    Example: Barbara Smith, Ward 1. The project is two blocks from my home and my children would have to walk past it every day on their way to school. Please consider adding sidewalks to this project.

Other ways to provide comment:

1 - Send an email to the Development Services Staff. Your email will be provided to the Planning Commission. To have your comments provided in the Planning Commission packet, your comments must be received by noon, Wednesday before the Planning Commission Meeting. Otherwise, your email must be received by 12:00 pm the day of the Planning Commission to be given to them at the meeting.
