To facilitate an orderly meeting, I'm asking everyone in the council to turn off their audible alarms on your electronic devices at this time so we will not be distracted during this meeting.

Each case will be called in sequence listed on the agenda unless otherwise directed by me, the chair.

The board of adjustment requests that the following rules of procedures be respected.

Each case will be introduced by the City of Fort Worth Development Services Department.

After presenting the facts of the case, the Board of Adjustment board members will have the opportunity to question city staff about the case and any applicable laws or regulations that may apply.

This portion of the discussion is exclusively between city staff and the board members.

You will have seven minutes to present the facts of your case and why you believe your application meets the criteria for approval.

If more than one person is presenting the case, it is necessary to divide the total seven minutes among all parties so you do not exceed the allotted time.

After the applicant has presented their case, I will call for any opposition to come forward.

This is their opportunity to express why they believe the variant the variants or special exception should not be approved.

The opposition is also allotted a total of seven minutes of time to be shared among all speakers.

If opposition is presented to the variants or special exception, the applicant will have an additional three minutes of rebuttal time.

The chair may allow a few more seconds in each presentation to ensure a speaker's final point can be made.

Are there any translation cases?

Okay.

In 2013, there was a rule change regarding translation cases.

When speakers require the service of a translator, all speaker times during those cases will be doubled.

After the parties have presented their positions, the board members will have the opportunity to ask questions of the applicant in any opposition.

After this discussion, I will ask for a motion to approve, deny, or continue the case.
