Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the Planning Commission this evening.

My name is Lisa Bickford, and I'm the Vice Chair for the Planning Commission.

The parking validation machine, in case you need it, is located at the rear of the chamber,

You can walk up the stairs and get that.

If you would all join me in saluting the flag.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America

and to the republic for which it stands,

one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

I'm afraid of the gavel.

Okay, now I would like to proceed with roll call.

Commissioner Rosario is not here this evening.

I am the vice chair.

Melissa Bickford, I am here.

Thank you very much

So now I'd like to

officially call this meeting to order and

and talk about the order of the day.

Before we begin, I'd like to remind the Planning Commission members and members of the public

to follow our Code of Conduct at meetings.

This includes commenting on the specific agenda item only and addressing the full body.

Public speakers will not engage in a conversation with the commissioners or staff.

All members of the Planning Commission, staff, and the public are expected to refrain from

abusive language.

Repeated failure to comply with the Code of Conduct, which will disturb, disrupt, or impede the orderly conduct of this meeting, may result in removal from the meeting.

This meeting of the Planning Commission will now come to order.

I just want to make one note that we had originally posted that Commissioner Oliverio would be remote for this evening via teleconference due to whether his plans were canceled and he is actually physically here.

Thank you for being here.

I'd like to read the summary of hearing procedures.

If you want to address the commission, please fill out a speaker card located on the table

near the audio-visual technician and deposit the completed card in the basket.

There are also speaker cards in the back of the chambers and at the side entrance.

The procedure for this hearing is as follows.

After staff's presentation, applicants and or appellants may make up to a five-minute

presentation.

During the public comment period, the Chair will call out names on the submitted speaker

cards in the order received for those members of the public who attend in person.

As your name is called, please line up in front of the microphone at the front of the

chamber here.

Generally, each speaker will be given up to two minutes for public testimony, and speakers

using a translator will have twice that time, or four minutes.

At the discretion of the Chair, the time allotted to each speaker may be changed depending on

the number of items on the agenda, the number of speakers, and other factors.

Speakers using a translator will have double whatever that allotted time is.

After the public testimony, the applicant or appellant may make closing remarks for up to an additional five minutes.

Planning commissioners may ask questions of the speakers.

Response to commissioner questions will not reduce the speaker's time allowance.

The public hearing will then be closed, and the Planning Commission will take action on the item.
