The Greenville Planning and Zoning Commission met electronically on June 16, 2020 at 11:00 AM (as per system time) to consider several rezoning requests and street closure proposals. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meeting was closed to the public but allowed for electronic participation and email comments. The Commission decided to recess the meeting until June 18, 2020 at 6:00 PM to allow additional public comment and then to vote on the remaining items. Several items were continued to the July 21, 2020 meeting.
Okay, we are live. All right, good evening to everybody for the June 16th. Planning and zoning commission meetings. In uh compliance with the fourth proclamation entered by our mayor on April the 13th, our meeting will be held by electronic means and closed to the public. Staff has forwarded comments to the commission that were received via email. Speakers that wish to address the commission will be held in queue and will speak in the order they registered with the clerk's office. If a person willfully disrupts the meeting upon direction by myself, the person will be removed from electronic participation, or his or her email may not be read. To our staff and members, to avoid crosstalk, please announce your name and be recognized by the chair to speak. Each member will be polled individually for their vote by roll call and be used to record the votes. If a member does not vote, that vote will be recorded as a vote against the motion. For purposes of hearing our agenda items, we will first hear from staff, and then once we hear from staff and our questions are answered, then we'll hear from the presentation of those in favor of the item. They will have total of 30 minutes, and then the first speaker will have five, and then each person thereafter, three. There are no rebuttal periods. And because uh of having to do this electronically, we're having to do things a little bit differently. Uh we will not vote on the item uh items tonight. Instead, we will hold this meeting open and recess it until Thursday, June 18th at 6 p.m. In their interim, the public has 24 hours to provide additional email comments to the city staff, and they will provide those to us. And then on June the 18th at 6 p.m. We will reconsider the items, discuss them, and then vote upon them. So with that, I'll move to uh the invocation and call upon Mr. Jordan to do so. Everybody bow your heads. Uh dear lord, we uh come before you tonight and ask that you uh bless us with your grace and uh help us uh uh board members, uh other fellow city staffers, uh you know, just take into the the consideration that of the public and try to make these hard decisions um with uh with with the with the best knowledge we can.
