To comply with these emergency measures, the Planning Commission meeting will be open and public but is being held via teleconference only.

Each speaker is limited to three (3) minutes.

For Public Hearings involving zoning matters, the appellant and applicant will be given 15 minutes each to present their position to the Planning Commission, including rebuttal time.  All other testimony shall follow the rules as set forth under Oral Communication.
