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.
