Items not identified on the agenda as public input or as a public hearing item generally require approval of 2/3 of the Commission to allow public comment.



CONSENT CALENDAR items will be acted upon by the Commission at one time without discussion unless a Commissioner requests discussion 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 question of staff; a five minute presentation by the project applicant or application proponent, if any; Commission questions of the applicant or application proponent; three minutes each for each member of the public wishing to speak to the item; three minutes for project applicant or application proponent rebuttal; Commission deliberations and decision.
