A request for continuance is a request to delay the consideration of a planning application to a future date.  It allows the applicant more time to gather additional information, address concerns raised by community members or local authorities, or revise the proposed development plan before a final decision is made.  The request for a continuance can be made by the applicant or their representative, or by a member of the planning commission or local government body responsible for reviewing the application. Once a continuance request is granted, the planning application review process is typically paused and rescheduled to a later date.
