The meeting covered five public hearings, including a continuance, a rezoning and preliminary site development plan for a logistics warehouse, and three interrelated items for Johnson County Aggregates (JCA): a rezoning to Agricultural, an amendment to an existing special use permit for quarry operations, and a new special use permit for quarry expansion.

Like to call tonight's meeting to order. Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. I Pledge of Allegiance to the United States. Under God. Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Well, as we begin our meeting this evening, I'll take a moment to acknowledge that we do have a quorum of planning commissioners present with seven of nine commissioners in attendance. I think the other two will still be here before we get too far into our agenda. I want to thank everyone in the chamber for attending this evening's meeting as well as those watching online. 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 every person in attendance. 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 issues we discuss are ultimately under the responsibility of the City Council. As a planning commission, we're here to help the council as our elected representatives to be fully informed to make the best choices for our city. By statute, the planning commission strives to not engage with any party 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 actual interaction, which we refer to as ex parte communication, commissioners will report that interaction when we reach that item in the agenda. We'll now move on to the consent agenda. This evening we have two items on the consent agenda. With the consent agenda, these items are listed and considered routine by the planning commission, and they may be approved in one motion. There is no public hearing for items on the consent agenda. There's no discussion unless a commissioner would like to have an item removed from the consent agenda and considered separately. Commissioners, do you see anything on the consent agenda that you would like to pull for additional information or questions from staff? All right, seeing none, uh, do I have a motion for the consent agenda? Please Mr. Chair, I move to approve the consent agenda is written. Thank you, Commissioner Corcoran. Do I have a second? Second. Thank you, Commissioner Brown. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. All opposed. And that motion passes 8 to 0. So we'll move on now to our regular agenda and our public hearings. This this evening we have five scheduled public hearings. For the first public hearing this evening, a continuance has been requested. When a case is submitted or scheduled for a continuance, the public hearing will not be opened. Comments, recommendations, or analysis on the case is not provided for or discussed until the public hearing is officially opened. This process assures that anyone that has an interest in the case has the opportunity to participate. So a continuance is requested to a future planning commission meeting for SU 26-0008. Is there a motion regarding the request? Chair, I move that we approve the continuation of SU 26-0008. Thank you, Commissioner Chapman. Do I have a second? Second. Thank you, Commissioner Brigida. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed.
