AGENDA POLICIES
The Planning Commission
considers a range of requests for development permits, appeals, and planning
policy matters, and conducts public hearings on many of its agenda items. Due
to the number, complexity and public interest associated with many agenda items,
meetings of the Commission are generally lengthy. The Commission makes every
effort to proceed as expeditiously as possible; your patience and understanding
is appreciated.
PUBLIC HEARING
PROCEDURES
on each public hearing item include ex parte communication disclosure by
the Commissioners; presentation of a staff report; Commission questions of
staff; a fifteen (15) minute presentation by the project applicant or
applicant’s representative or team, if any; Commission questions of the
applicant; three (3) minutes for each member of the public wishing to speak to
the item; three (3) minutes for project applicant to respond to the public or
clarify issues raised by the public; Commission deliberations and decision. For
an appeal, the appellant, if not also the applicant, has fifteen (15) minutes
to address the Commission prior to the applicant speaking and three (3) minutes
to respond to public comment.
SPECIAL
TIME LIMITATIONS. The
Commission may limit the time of individual speakers or the total time on a
particular issue. If there are more than seven (7) speakers requesting to speak
on an agenda item, or if twenty (20)
or more persons have requested to speak on any combination of items, the
project applicant or appellant on any agenda item shall be limited to ten (10)
minutes initially and three (3) minutes in rebuttal. Members of the public are
permitted three (3) minutes to address the Commission except as follows: if a
member of the public requests to speak on more than one agenda item, the time
will be three (3) minutes for the first item and two (2) minutes for any other
item unless the Commission grants by a majority vote additional time.
REQUESTS TO SPEAK on an agenda item must
be submitted on a speaker's request form (“chit”) and submit it to the Commission
secretary. All requests to address the Commission on public hearing items must
be submitted prior to the Commission's consideration of the item.
ASSIGNING OF TIME for members of the
public wishing to speak to an item is permissible within specified limits. A "representative speaker" may be
allowed one additional minute of speaking time, to a maximum of five (5)
additional minutes [hence, eight (8) minutes total] for each person actually in
attendance who assigns his or her right to speak via a request to speak form to
the "representative speaker." The project applicant, applicant’s
representative or team of representatives (which may include the project
architect, attorney, facilitator and all other representatives of the
applicant), shall be allowed a total of fifteen (15) minutes initially and
