HOW TO PARTICIPATE BEFORE THE MEETING: Members of the public are encouraged to submit email correspondence to [email protected] at least three days prior to the meeting to provide adequate time for Commissioner consideration. Correspondence will continue to be processed until thirty minutes prior to the start of the meeting or as practical. 

HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN-PERSON DURING THE MEETING: Members of the public may speak during the meeting in-person or through the Zoom application. In order to participate in-person, each speaker must complete and submit to the Recording Secretary a Request to Speak form and be present in the Council Chambers when the item is called by the Chair. In-person participants may also surrender their opportunity to speak on a particular item to donate one minute to another in-person speaker, not to exceed a total of eight minutes.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE REMOTELY DURING THE MEETING: In order to participate remotely, you must be present in the Zoom meeting and use the Raise Hand feature to request to speak when the Chair calls the item. When you join the Zoom meeting you may see a pop-up asking you to enter an email address, but a valid email address is not required. Be advised that those participating via Zoom do so at their own risk; remote participants should not expect the meeting to be cancelled or continued due to the inability of some members of the public to access the remote meeting.

The Oral Communication portion of the agenda is for members of the public to present items, which are not listed on the agenda but are under the subject matter jurisdiction of the Planning Commission. No action may be taken under, except to direct staff, unless the Commission, by a two-thirds vote, determines that there is a need to take immediate action and that need came to the attention of the City after the posting of the agenda. Although no action may be taken, the Commission and staff will follow up, at an appropriate time, on those items needing response. Each speaker is limited to three minutes. Members of the public may speak during the meeting in-person or through the Zoom application. In order to participate remotely, you must be present in the Zoom meeting and use the Raise Hand feature to request to speak when the Chair calls the item. In order to participate in-person, each speaker must complete and submit to the Recording Secretary a Request to Speak form prior to the beginning of the item being announced by the Chair. In person participants may surrender their time by donating one minute to another speaker, not to exceed a total of eight minutes. The speaker wishing to donate time must be present when the item is heard and their form must be submitted with the speaker form for the individual they are donating time to. Speakers are taken in the order slips are submitted. In-person speakers will be called prior to Zoom speakers.

Items in Consent Calendar Section A have already been considered by the Commission at a previous meeting where the public was invited to comment, after which a decision was made. These items are not subject to public discussion at this meeting because the vote taken at the previous meeting was final. Resolutions concerning decisions made at previous meetings are for the purpose of memorializing the decision to assure the accuracy of the findings, the prior vote, and any conditions imposed.

Items in Consent Calendar Section B have not been discussed previously by the Commission. If discussion is desired, an item may be removed from the Consent Calendar for individual consideration. Commissioners may indicate a negative or abstaining vote on any individual item by so declaring prior to the vote on the motion to adopt the entire Consent Calendar. Items excluded from the Consent Calendar will be taken up by the Commission following the action on the Consent Calendar. The Commission first will take up the items for which public speaker requests have been submitted.
