III. PROCEDURES - PROCEDIMIENTOS - KEV SAB LAJ

For each matter considered by the Commission, there will first be a staff

presentation, followed by a presentation from the project applicant. Testimony from

supporters of the project will then be taken, followed by testimony from those in

opposition. The applicant will have the right to a final rebuttal presentation prior to

closing the public hearing.

In accordance with section 13 of Article 2 of the Planning Commission Rules and

Regulations governing length of public debate, all public testimony from those in

support and in opposition of the project will be limited to three minutes per person.

The three lights on the podium next to the microphone will indicate the amount of

time remaining for the speaker. The green light will be turned on when the speaker

begins. The yellow light will come on with a soft bell ring when one minute is

remaining. The speaker should be completing the testimony by the time the red light

comes on with a final bell indicating time has expired. All public testimony must be

presented to the Commission at the podium. Any testimony that references race,

religion, ethnicity, economic status, national origin, or any other classification

protected under state or federal law in a derogatory manner shall be deemed

irrelevant and will not be considered by the Commission in making its land use

determinations.

If you challenge these land use matters in court, you may be limited to raising only

those issues you or someone else raised in oral or written testimony or before the

close of the hearing.
