Public Comment is limited to items not on the agenda.The Commission may briefly respond to statements made or questions posed as allowed by the Brown Act (Government Code Section 54954.2). However, the Commissions general policy is to refer items to staff for attention, or have a matter placed on a future Commission agenda for a more comprehensive action or report

Procedure for Public Hearing:

Staff will present a report on the history, physical features, etc., on the application followed with the staff’s recommendations.The applicant will make a presentation.Thereafter, interested members of the community may speak on the proposal.When all interested parties have had an opportunity to be heard, the hearing will be closed, and no further discussion from the floor can be held.The Commission will then consider the evidence and make its recommendation.If you challenge a public hearing item in Court you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, the public notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City at or prior to the public hearing.Speakers should fill out a speakers form, found by the door, and hand it to the recording secretary prior to addressing the Commission.The speaker should come up to the microphone to speak since the meeting is being recorded.This will assist staff in preparing the minutes
