The public is invited to attend all Planning Commission meetings and workshop sessions.

If you wish to address the Planning Commission, please complete a “Speaker Request Form" and submit it to staff.  These forms are available in the kiosk outside the Council Chambers or from staff.  The Commission, and staff, requests that this form be submitted prior to the beginning of the meeting.  Staff will provide the form to the Commission Chair who will call your name at the appropriate time.  At that time, please come to the podium, state your name and address, and speak to the subject you indicated on the form.  If deemed necessary, the Planning Commission reserves the right to limit the length of time for public comments.  Groups of citizens bound by a common interest or position are encouraged to select a spokesperson to present comments to the Commission.

Public testimony that includes electronic presentations, such as Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, is allowed.  However, if the electronic presentation is to be presented through the use of the City's computers and associated devices then such electronic files shall be submitted to the Community Development Department staff by 12:00 noon on the business day before the Commission meeting where the presentation is to occur.

There are two opportunities to speak.  The first is under the Agenda item “Items from the public not on the Agenda”.  This is your opportunity to address the Planning Commission on any issue not scheduled on the agenda.  The other opportunity to address the Commission is on any agenda item designated as a “Public Hearing”.  Typical items requiring a public hearing include:  subdivision sketch and preliminary plans, special use reviews, land-use plan amendments, rezonings, and annexations.
