The Commission welcomes you to its meeting which is regularly scheduled the first and third Wednesday of the month. The Commission meets at 1195 Third Street, Room 305, Napa. The following information is provided to ensure your understanding and participation in the Commission's meeting and decision making process. .
Assistive listening devices are available for the
hearing impaired from the office of the Clerk of the Board. If an ASL interpreter or any other special
arrangement is required, please provide the Clerk of the Board with 24-hour
notice by calling 253-6088 TDD.
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.
The agenda is divided into three
sections:
CONSENT CALENDAR:
Consent Calendar Items as 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. Consent items, regardless of their agenda assigned number will be
acted upon by the Commission in one motion at the beginning of the meeting.
SET MATTERS:
These items are noticed hearings, work sessions and public hearings.
REGULAR CALENDAR:
These items, unless otherwise noted, may be heard at any time during the meeting at the discretion of the Chairperson. These items include significant policy and administrative actins and are classified by program areas.
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 REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATIONS:
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.
APPEAL PROCEDURE:
If you do not agree with the
Commission's decision or the conditions that may have been imposed by the
Commission in approving an agenda item, you may appeal the Commission's action
to the Napa County Board of Supervisors.
Appeal must be filed within ten (10) working days from the date of the
Commission's action. Appeals may be
limited to those issues raised at the public hearing relating to the agenda
item or to written correspondence delivered to the Planning Commission at or
prior to the public hearing.
