ORDER
OF BUSINESS:

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.

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
