Spanish-language noticing gap
Summary
Banning has many Spanish-speaking neighbors, but the city has no policy to translate hearing notices or signs — and the two proposals tonight would have spent 20 days and 600 feet of notices without reaching them in their language. The Commission voted to ask the Council to consider requiring Spanish-language notices and signage.
