That's on TVC TV.

Walleton Valley C C T TV.

To Walleton Valley Community Television.

CVCTV.

That was a lot.

Okay, and we just go to public hearing or public comment.

Sorry.

Public comment will be first.

Okay, sure.

Now is the time provided for anyone wishing to speak to the commission on any item not scheduled for public hearing.

Comments are limited to two minutes unless additional time is granted by the presiding officer.

The public comment period shall not exceed 30 minutes unless extended by the commission.

Zoom attendees may use the raised hand, which we know is not working today.

Is there any public comment?

Zoom attendees should be able to speak over uh Zoom.

They just again can't see our video.

Uh we should be able to see them if they'd like to.

So if there's anybody on Zoom who'd like to comment, they may do so.

Okay.

Anyone on Zoom choose to comment?

Okay, seeing none.

Moving on to the public hearing.

Tonight we have a proposed initiated amendment to the Forest Grove Comprehensive Plan to remove the City of Forest Grove General Industrial Plan designation from property to be removed from the City of added to the City of Cornelius planning area.

Sure, Alice should have a script in front of you to just the blue type everything in blue.

So reading half of this and half of this is a little bit confusing.

Sorry, everyone.

Tonight's staff is asked that the planning commission adopt a motion recommending approval of the proposed comprehensive plan map amendment.

A decision on the proposal will be based on decision, I'm sorry, on Oregon Land Use Planning Goal 2 and Oregon Revised Statute Section 190.010.

The written staff report for tonight's hearing addresses the decision considerations.

Persons wishing to provide testimony or asked to print your name and address on the public hearing signup sheet located in the community auditorium for your or raise their hand in Zoom during the public testimony period.

I will recognize these people wishing to speak.

When called, please come to the table in the auditorium as the hearing is recorded or wait until you are called upon by the chair to speak via Zoom.

Please state your name and address for the record and keep testimony concise, addressing the applicable decision criteria.

Any questions for the planning commission or city staff should be directed to me.

Staff will provide a report briefly summarizing the proposal, correspondence received, applicable decision criteria, and staff recommendation.

Persons in support, opposition, and neutral about the proposal proposal will be called to the podium or via Zoom to testify in that order.

If you testify, speak into the microphone, state your name and address, and direct your comments to the decision considerations listed in the staff report.

The planning commission may act on this proposal tonight.

However, prior to the conclusion of the hearing, any participant may request an opportunity to present additional evidence.

The planning commission may grant continuation of the public hearing to a time and date certain that is at least seven days from tonight's hearing, or leave the record open for additional written evidence.

If the record is left open, the record shall remain open for at least seven days for the purpose of responding to new written evidence.

Failure to raise an issue with sufficient detail to allow the planning commission, applicant, or staff to respond precludes an appeal to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals on that issue.

Failure to raise constitutional issues related to the proposed conditions of approval with sufficient specific key to all the planning commission applicant or staff to respond precludes an action of damages in circuit court.

Before we open the hearing, do any members of the planning commission need to disclose any expartate contact bias or conflicts of interest?

If so, please indicate the nature of the ex parte contact bias or conflicts of interest and indicate whether you intend to participate in an impartial manner or abstain from the hearing.

Anyone?

Seeing none.

Moving forward.

We'll provide an overview of the proposal list before the commission this evening.

We'll go ahead and get that loaded.

The PowerPoint presentation will start with the issue statement, go into the purpose of tonight's public hearing, provide some background about the proposal, briefly go over the decision considerations for the commission, provide a conclusion, and then a staff recommendation.

There will be opportunity after the close of the staff presentation for the commission to ask any clarifying questions of staff.

So next slide, please.

Next slide.

So the proposal before the planning commission this evening is a city initiated amendment to the Forest Grove Comprehensive Plan.

Under the City Forest Groves Development Code, the community development director can initiate a comprehensive plan amendment as well as the city council, a specific property owner.

The city council and the planning commission both have authority to initiate comprehensive plan and map amendments, such as these.

In addition, any utilities that are working on property, they also have standing to initiate land use actions such as comprehensive plan and map amendments.

This one is city initiated by the community development director as follow-up to the adoption of the urban planning area agreement that was approved by the city council in April.

Next slide, please.
