structure:
AGENDA APPROVAL: The Planning Commission may wish to change the order
of the items on the agenda.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: Anyone wishing to address the Planning
Commission on tonight’s agenda may do so during this time period. The

within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Planning Commission. No action can
be taken by the Planning Commission on these communications on this date,

that normally do not require separate consideration. The Planning Commission

Commission separately and require separate motions. These transactions are
considered administrative and public testimony is not heard.
PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS: Public Hearings allow citizens the opportunity to
speak in favor of or against agendized items. More detailed information is found
in the actual agenda attached. If you have documents to distribute, you should
have enough copies for all Planning Commissioners, City staff, and the public.
Please give one to the secretary for the City files. The documents become part
of the public record and will not be returned.
DIRECTOR’S REPORT: Updates and reports from the Director of Community
Development (Planning and Building Division) are presented for information to
the Planning Commission and the public.
COMMISSION CONCERNS: Items of concern are presented by the Planning
Commissioners and discussed with staff.
