Notice to Public
Speaker's Card
Members of the audience who wish to address the Planning Commission should complete a speaker's card available in the lobby or at the front bench.
Submit the completed card to staff before the item is called, preferably before the meeting begins.
Routine Agenda Items and Continued Items
All routine and continued items will be considered by the Planning Commission at the beginning of the meeting. There will not be separate discussions of these items unless a request is made prior to the time the Planning Commission considers the motions.
Hearings
Persons who wish to speak on hearings listed on the agenda will be heard when the hearing is opened, except on hearing items previously heard and closed to public comment. Each public speaker should limit their comments to three (3) minutes or less. The Chair may grant additional time. The project sponsor normally shall be the first person to make a presentation when a hearing is opened for public comment. The project sponsor’s presentation should not exceed ten (10) minutes unless the Chair grants permission for a longer presentation. After the public has commented, the item is closed to further public comment and brought to the Planning Commission level for discussion and action. Further comment from the audience will not be received unless requested by the Commission. No public hearing or hearing shall commence after 11:00 p.m. unless this rule is waived by majority vote of the Commission.
Consent Calendar
All matters listed under CONSENT CALENDAR are considered by the Commission to be routing and will be enacted by one motion. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless requested by a Commissioner prior to the time Commission votes on the motion to adopt.
Applicant's submittal of Information
Submittal of information by a project applicant subsequent to the distribution of the agenda packet but prior to the public hearing may result in a continuance of the subject agenda item to the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting, if the Commission determines that such late submittal compromises its ability to fully consider and evaluate the project at the time of the public hearing.
Appeals
Decisions of the Planning Commission on use permits, variances, major subdivisions, appeals taken from decisions of the Zoning Administrator or staff interpretations of the Zoning Code may be appealed to the City Council. Appeals and the required filing fee must be filed with the City Clerk within ten (10) days of the decision.
