Meeting Transcript
Welcome to the Clark County Zoning Meeting. Before we begin, we'd like to briefly explain how today's meeting works and how you can participate. Today's agenda includes different types of items the Board of County Commissioners will discuss and may vote on. Some items are routine and may be approved together in one vote, while others are considered individually and may include a public hearing. Sometimes an agenda item may be held at the request of a commissioner or county staff. When an item is held, it will not be discussed or voted on during today's meeting and will be brought back at a future meeting. There are two opportunities for public comment during this meeting. And it's important to understand the difference. The first public comment period takes place at the beginning of the meeting. This public comment is only for items that are listed on today's agenda. Comments during this time must relate to a specific agenda item. If you wish to speak about a particular agenda item, you may comment at the beginning of the meeting, or you may wait to see if that item is discussed later and includes an opportunity for public comment when the item is being considered. Some routine items may be approved together as part of what is called the consent agenda. If you do not agree with a staff recommendation for one of these items, you must request that that item be removed before the board takes action. If it is not removed, it may be approved early in the meeting as part of a single vote. Items that are not routine are considered one at a time and may include an opportunity for public comment before the board votes. When it's time to speak, please come forward. There are three microphones available, including a handheld microphone if you have documents you would like to show. If you wish to show a document, an overhead camera may be used at the direction of the board chair. Please do not display documents that contain personal or sensitive information. When speaking, please talk directly into the microphone, clearly and at a steady value. This helps ensure your comments are heard and recorded as part of the public record. Speakers are required to state their name, spell their last name, and state their address. At the end of the meeting, there is a second public comment period. This final public comment is for items not listed on the agenda. No action may be taken on those comments at that time. All public comments are limited to three minutes unless otherwise announced by the chair at the beginning of the meeting. During all public comment periods, board members may listen but are not allowed to respond. Thank you for being here and for taking the time to participate in your local government. Today is February 4th, 2026. Seeing no one, we'll close the public comment and turn over to Ms. Real. Good morning, Commissioners.
