AGENDA POLICIES
The Planning Commission considers a
range of requests for development permits, appeals, and planning policy matters,
and conducts public hearings on many of its agenda items. Due to the number,
complexity and public interest associated with many agenda items, meetings of
the Commission are generally lengthy. The Commission makes every effort to
proceed as expeditiously as possible; your patience and understanding is
appreciated.
PUBLIC HEARING PROCEDURES on each public hearing item include
ex parte communication disclosure by the Commissioners; presentation of
a staff report; Commission questions of staff; a fifteen (15) minute
presentation by the project applicant or applicant’s representative or team, if
any; Commission questions of the applicant; three (3) minutes for each member
of the public wishing to speak to the item; three (3) minutes for project applicant
to respond to the public or clarify issues raised by the public; Commission
deliberations and decision. For an appeal, the appellant, if not also the
applicant, has fifteen (15) minutes to address the Commission prior to the
applicant speaking and three (3) minutes to respond to public comment.
SPECIAL TIME
LIMITATIONS. The
Commission may limit the time of individual speakers or the total time on a
particular issue. If there are more than seven (7) speakers requesting to speak
on an agenda item, or if twenty (20)
or more persons have requested to speak on any combination of items, the
project applicant or appellant on any agenda item shall be limited to ten (10)
minutes initially and three (3) minutes in rebuttal. Members of the public are
permitted three (3) minutes to address the Commission except as follows: if a
member of the public requests to speak on more than one agenda item, the time
will be three (3) minutes for the first item and two (2) minutes for any other
item unless the Commission grants by a majority vote additional time.
REQUESTS TO SPEAK on an agenda item must be submitted
on a speaker's request form (“chit”) and submit it to the Commission secretary.
All requests to address the Commission on public hearing items must be
submitted prior to the Commission's consideration of the item.
ASSIGNING OF TIME for members of the public wishing
to speak to an item is permissible within specified limits. A "representative speaker" may be
allowed one additional minute of speaking time, to a maximum of five (5)
additional minutes [hence, eight (8) minutes total] for each person actually in
attendance who assigns his or her right to speak via a request to speak form to
the "representative speaker." The project applicant, applicant’s representative
or team of representatives (which may include the project architect, attorney,
facilitator and all other representatives of the applicant), shall be allowed a
total of fifteen (15) minutes initially and three (3) minutes in rebuttal.
PRESENTATIONS BY MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC should begin
with the speaker stating his or her name and address for the public record
followed by a statement regarding the item under consideration. Please speak to the Commission as a whole.
PROFESSIONALS APPEARING BEFORE THE
COMMISSION should
clearly identify their status, such as "attorney",
"paralegal", "architect", "designer", or
"landscape architect".
Instances of misrepresentation of professional status may be referred to
the City Attorney for possible prosecution.
WRITTEN MATERIALS, LETTERS AND
E-MAILS regarding
agenda items should be submitted to the City Planning Division staff prior to
the Commission meeting. All written materials, including e-mails, will be
forwarded the Commission Secretary for inclusion in the public record and, if
received by noon on the Monday prior to the Wednesday public hearing, shall be
forwarded to the Commission in advance of the meeting. Late submissions will be
place on the dais on the night of the public hearing, but might not be reviewed
by the Commission..
EX PARTE COMMUNICATION DISCLOSURES. During the pendency of any
quasi-judicial proceeding, no member of the Planning Commission may engage in ex parte communications with applicants,
appellants or members of the public with respect to the matter which is the
subject of the proceeding unless that member of the Commission discloses such
communication. Prior to each quasi-judicial agenda item each Commissioner must
place on the record the subject and substance of any written or oral ex parte communication including the
identity of the person, group or entity with whom the communication took place.
TIME LIMITATION ON CONSIDERATION OF NEW ITEMS. The Commission shall not commence
consideration of a new item on its agenda after 11:00 p.m. unless otherwise
required by State or local law or unless otherwise determined by a majority
vote of those Commissioners present.
CONSENT CALENDAR items will be acted upon by the
Commission at one time without discussion unless a Commissioner 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.
ACTION BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION on most matters occurs with the
affirmative votes of at least four Commissioners.
DESIGN ASPECTS OF PROJECTS considered by the Planning
Commission must also be approved by the Architectural Review Board. For more information on this process, contact
the City Planning Division.
APPEALS of certain actions of the
Commission are appealable to the City Council. The appeal period is generally ten to
fourteen days from the date of the Commission’s action For specific information
on appeals, please contact the City Planning Division.

Planning Commission agenda or
