In response to public comment, the planning commission is limited to the following options.

Us staff, do we have any members of the public wishing to speak on nonagendized items?

Or any members of the audience who'd like to come down and speak on anything not on tonight's agenda.

Doesn't look like it.

Okay, in that case, we will move on to deferrals and removals from calendar.

Uh staff, do we have any items to defer today?
