and be heard in a timely manner and within an atmosphere of respect and
diplomacy. These procedures are meant
to foster an atmosphere of respect.
Assistive listening devices

other special arrangement is required, please provide the Clerk of the Board

ORDER
OF BUSINESS:
Agenda items that do not have a
specified hearing time listed on the agenda may be heard at any time during the
meeting at the discretion of the Commission.
Items listed on the Consent Agenda are considered at the beginning of
the meeting. Items that generate a
large turnout of interested citizens at a Commission meeting may be heard early
in the meeting as an accommodation to the public.
ITEMS
TO BE DECIDED WITHOUT ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY:
These
Items identified with a symbol (ž) on the agenda are regular
items which are recommended for approval or continuance by staff with the
applicant's consent concerning conditions of approval, when the applicant has
signed any required project revision statement and when no member of the
Commission or public indicates a desire to comment or ask questions about the
item. These items regardless of their
agenda assigned number will be acted upon by the Commission in one motion at
the beginning of the meeting.
Applicants having items so listed need not speak unless
they disagree with the staff recommendation or wish to comment. If an Item requires discussion, it will be heard
in the numerical order listed on the agenda.
If you arrive after the meeting has started
and have any question concerning whether or not an agenda item has already been
heard by the Commission, please check with the Secretary of the Commission.
PERSONS
WISHING TO SPEAK CONCERNING AN AGENDA ITEM:
If you
wish to speak on an item on the Agenda and under discussion by the Commission,
you may do so upon receiving recognition from the Chairperson. After being recognized by the Chairperson,
please step to one of the microphones and state your name and address and make
your presentation. No comment or testimony shall be shouted from the audience.
All comments are to be directed to the Commission, including inquiries
requiring staff response.
CONDUCT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND TESTIMONY:
When speaking on an item, try to limit comments and testimony to
5 minutes. If there is a controversial item with many speakers from the public,
the Chairperson may set exact time limits to allow everyone time to be heard. For
Public hearing items “applicants” are allowed 10 minutes to speak to make their
formal presentation of their project and will be given the opportunity to rebut
all other testimony.
Written testimony should be limited;
any lengthy reports or materials submitted may result in the Commission, upon
consideration, continuing the item to a subsequent meeting.
When speaking, please keep to the
topic at hand and try not to repeat comments. This is to allow all projects on
the agenda to be heard and to allow everyone present time to speak.
STAFF

Copies
of all staff reports and recommendations to be considered by the Commission are
usually available at the Planning Department Offices on the Friday preceding
the meeting and at the meeting.
