Call to order, roll call, pledge, approval of minutes
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

So I'd like to welcome everybody today and uh say that we are the Planning Commission. We're appointed by the Board of County Commissioners and we meet twice monthly. Uh we serve as a local planning agency and we hold public hearing and transmit to the Board of County Commissioners our recommendations on comprehensive plan amendments, land development code amendments, rezoning, and conditional use amendments. The Planning Commission is the final decision-making body for special exceptions, certain appeals,
variance requests, and certain alternative standard requests. However, final decisions may be appealed to the Board of County Commissioners. If anyone is in opposition to any development code, amendment, rezoning, conditional use, or any item where the Planning Commission transmits a record. recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners, it will be important for you to attend the Board of County Commissioners meeting.
For those of you who are here maybe for the first time and aren't familiar with the format of the meeting, we have three sections. We have continuances, we have consent items, and we have regular items.
In some cases the staff or the applicant may ask for a continuance on a particular item. It's been our custom to grant those requests unless there are extenuating circumstances. Um we all then we have consent items, those are items that We've not received anything written or orally from the public with questions and those items are on consent. We'll go through the consent consent items
one at a time. If we read something that's on consent and you'd like to have it heard or discuss it, raise your hand. We'll pull it from consent. We'll put it onto the regular items.
The um then the regular items are the things that we will hear and uh the application the applicants will make their presentation and uh the questionnaires will have an opportunity to ask questions about it and uh see if we can get to the bottom of whatever the issues might be. Uh applicants will have uh three minutes to make their presentations and Objectors or commenters will have three minutes to state their objections and then the
uh applicant will have uh five minutes to come back up and see if they can do anything to clear up any concerns it may be. Um
We usually give time extra time to people to speak, but only if they uh contact us in writing twenty four hours prior to this meeting. And I don't believe we've had any written requests. Is that correct?
That's correct, Mr. Chairman
