Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Take a moment to acknowledge that we have a quorum of Planning Commissioners President with everybody here.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Nine out of nine.

I want to thank everyone in the chamber for attending this evening's meeting.

Planning commission meetings are an important part of the process for interpreting and applying the city's comprehensive plan and unified development ordinance.

It's important that our meetings are conducted with dignity and respect.

This applies to everyone in attendance, and we strive to provide an atmosphere where the ideas and opinions of all participants are held in the highest regard.

Finally, the actions on the Planning Commission here are to do are to ultimately the responsibility of the city council.

We're here to help the council as our elected representatives be fully informed to make the best choices for our city.

By statute, the planning commission strives not to engage with any party excuse me on the issues on our agenda prior to our meeting.

Should that interaction take place as a result of a business relationship or any other interaction, which we refer to as ex parte communication.

Commissioners will report that interaction when we reach that item on the agenda.

We'll now move on to the consent agenda, and this is this evening we have three items on our consent agenda.

Commissioners, do you need to pull any items for additional information or questions from staff?

Seeing none, do I have a motion for the consent agenda, please?

Mr.

Chair would move to approve the consent agenda.

Thank you, Commissioner Bergida.

Do I have a second?

Second.

Thank you, Commissioner Sealing.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Opposed, nay.

That motion passes nine to zero.

We'll now move on to our regular business and uh we have two scheduled public hearings tonight.

For the first public hearing, a continuance has been requested.

When a case is scheduled for a continuance, the public hearing is not opened.

Comments, recommendations, or analysis on any case is not provided for or discussed until the public hearing is opened.

This process gives ensures that anyone has an interest in the case will have the opportunity to participate.

So a continuance is requested to a future planning commission for RZ 26-0001.

Is there a motion on this item?

So moved.

Thank you, Commissioner Chapman.

Do I have a second?
