**PUBLIC COMMENT LIMITATIONS – The Planning Commission will provide at least two public comment periods prior to adjournment in compliance with the minimum requirements of the Open Meeting Law.

No action may be taken on a matter raised under public comment unless the item has been specifically included on the agenda as an item upon which action may be taken. Public comment will be limited to three minutes per speaker to facilitate the efficient conduct of a meeting and to provide reasonable opportunity for comment from all members of the public who wish to speak. Testimony from a person who is directly involved with an item, such as City staff, an applicant or a party to an administrative hearing or appeal, is not considered public comment and is not subject to the three-minute time limitation.

 

Please note: Any person who wishes to have their complete testimony included in the permanent record of this meeting should provide a written or electronic copy to the Chair or Vice-Chair in addition to any other written material. Minutes of the meeting are produced in a summary format and are not verbatim.
