2:40For those of you who will be attending the meeting uh today, the Planning Commission is appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. And we meet twice monthly. We serve as a local planning agency and we hold public hearings and transmit to the Board of County Commissioners recommendations on a comprehensive plan, land development code amendments, rezoning, and conditional use requests. Planning Commission is the final decision-making body for special exceptions, certain

3:10appeals, 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 comprehensive plan amendment, land development code amendment, rezoning conditional use, or any item. Where the Planning Commission transmits a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners, it's important for you to attend the appropriate Board of County Commissioners. For those of you not familiar with the format of our meetings,

3:41we have uh several segments, continuances, consent, and regular items. It's been our custom to approve a request for continuance by the applicant or the staff unless there are extenuating circumstances, such as the convenience of the affected party. We have consent where items have been received. No letters of objection from the public or from the staff will be placed, and those items will be placed on the consent agenda and are read

4:11item by item. If you wish an item to be pulled from the consent agenda, notify us by either raising your hand or advising us over the microphone. And we'll pull the item for discussion. Then we have regular items, and those are the items which are not continued or on consent. And we'll be hearing those in full and hearing the applicant and any respondents. Applicants will have three minutes to make their presentation. And uh, questionnaires

4:42or objectors will have three minutes uh to present their concerns. Um

4:50Mm. I don't believe we've had any requests. Well I have w have had one request for extra time, right?
