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.
REQUESTS TO SPEAK on an item must be submitted on a
speaker's request form 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.
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.
PUBLIC HEARING PROCEDURES on each public hearing item include
presentation of a staff report; Commission questions of staff; a fifteen
minutes presentation by the project applicant or applicant’s representative or
team, if any; Commission questions of the applicant; three minutes for each
member of the public wishing to speak to the item; three minutes for project
applicant to respond to the public or clarify issues raised by the public;
Commission 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 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.
LETTERS OR WRITTEN MATERIALS regarding agenda items may be
submitted to the City Planning Division staff prior to or at the Commission
meeting; written materials submitted at least eight days in advance of the
meeting will be included in the Commission's meeting packet. Materials submitted after the deadline may
be difficult for the Commission to adequately review.
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 additional
minutes (hence, eight 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."
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.
For specific information on appeals, please contact the City Planning
Division.

agenda or development permit procedures and standards, please contact the
