AGENDA POLICIES

 

REQUESTS TO SPEAK on an item must be submitted on a speaker's request form and submitted to the Board secretary.  All requests to address the Board on public hearing items must be submitted prior to the Board's consideration of the item.  A project applicant need not submit a request to speak.

 

CONSENT CALENDAR items will be acted upon by the Board at one time without discussion unless a Boardmember requests discussion on an item or a member of the public has submitted a request to speak on an item.  If such a request is made, the item will be heard after the balance of the Consent Calendar has been voted upon.

 

HEARING PROCEDURES on each item include presentation of a staff report; Board questions of staff; a two-minute presentation by the project applicant, if any; Board questions of the applicant; two minutes for each member of the public wishing to speak to the item; two minutes for project applicant rebuttal; Board deliberations and decision.

 

PRESENTATIONS BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC should begin with the speaker stating his or her name and address followed by a statement regarding the item under consideration.  Please speak to the Board as a whole.

 

LETTERS OR WRITTEN MATERIALS regarding agenda items may be submitted to the City Planning Division staff prior to or at the Board meeting; written materials submitted at least eight (8) days in advance of the meeting will be included in the Boardmembers’ meeting packets.
