> 
> Apply for the new semester of Durham Planning Academy!
>  
> Have you ever wondered to yourself….What exactly is zoning and what can/can’t it do? How do things get built in Durham? Why does that building or site look like that? How and why do you plan for something that is 5, 10, or 15 years away? What legal basis does the City/County have to regulate land? How can citizens get involved in planning matters?
>  
> The Durham Planning Academy is an interactive four-week course designed to introduce residents of Durham to important planning concepts and procedures. Participants will learn about a variety of planning and development topics, such as the history of city planning, how development projects come together, the laws and court cases shaping property rights and the actions of governments, the role of the Durham City-County Planning Department and other departments, and how to get involved in planning issues in your community.  Upon graduation, participants will have a basic working knowledge of both the theoretical and practical aspects of planning and development in Durham.
>  
> Applications for the Fall 2017 session are now being accepted! The class will be held during four consecutive Thursday evenings at Durham City Hall (6:00pm – 8:00pm), with the last class culminating in a mock Planning Commission hearing in Council Chambers. Dinner will be provided.
>  
> • Session #1: Thursday, October 19 (6:00pm – 8:00pm)
> • Session #2: Thursday, October 26 (6:00pm – 8:00pm)
> • Session #3: Thursday, November 2 (6:00pm – 8:00pm)
> • Session #4: Thursday, November 9 -- Mock Planning Commission Hearing (6:00pm – 8:00pm)
>  
> Attendance will be capped at 20 participants. Due to high demand, please only apply if you can commit to attending all four sessions. Preference will be given to Durham residents. Given the introductory nature of the class, those currently in the professional planning and design fields may not find that the classwork suits their needs.
>  
> The application deadline is September 1. Applicants will be notified as to the status of their application by September 15. To apply, please visit the Planning Academy webpage at https://durhamnc.gov/3174/Planning-Academy.
