PUBLIC COMMENT AND RULES OF DECORUM:

The Design Review Subcommittee values your comments and acknowledges the right of the public to address issues that are within the City’s jurisdiction and invites the public to do so during the design review meeting.  However, this public participation must be balanced with the need of the design review subcommittee to conduct the public’s business in a fair and efficient manner, free from disruption or disturbance.

 

Any member of the public may address the design review subcommittee on items not appearing on the agenda under Comments from the Public.  Comments concerning other items on the agenda will be heard at the time the item is considered during the course of the meeting.

 

Speakers should not bring to the podium any items other than a prepared written statement and/or writing materials.

The City expects that everyone who participates in the meeting will do so with respect and dignity. Please refrain from using abusive, derogatory, and slanderous language, or behaving in a way that disrupts the meeting.

 

Members of the audience shall not engage in disorderly or boisterous conduct, including the utterance of loud, threatening, or abusive language, whistling, stamping of feet or other acts which disturb, disrupt, impede, or otherwise render the orderly conduct of the Design Review Subcommittee meeting unfeasible.  Persons in the audience should refrain from creating, provoking, or participating in any type of unwelcome physical contact.

 

Planning Commission staff cannot respond to emails during the meeting. This means that email and text message requests made to speak by phone on additional agenda items during the meeting cannot be accommodated during the meeting.
