ADJOURNMENT Page 5  Planning and Zoning Commission November 07, 2011 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Late Public Hearing Submittal Policy Voluminous information shall not be submitted to the Commission at a public hearing. Generally, maps, graphic and photographs will be allowed. Type written information shall be limited to two pages, submitted no later than three (3) working days prior to a public hearing (i.e. the Wednesday before a regularly scheduled or special PZC Monday meeting). Information may be accepted, if the Commission chooses, to allow the additional information. If the petitioner or public insists that the voluminous information is important and critical to the case, the hearing shall be postponed for 30 days to allow staff to review the information, include it in the board member packet, and allow a thorough review by the Commission. Policy Re: Postponement of Public Hearing Applications When there is a short 5 member Board or Commission, and a postponement is offered to, and agreed to by the petitioner, they will be moved to the next regular agenda. This should occur within 30-days, which does not require re-noticing the case (new public hearing notices, advertising). If the petitioner is willing to postpone, but unable to attend the next available meeting date within 30 days, the petitioner has a one-time only option to choose the next date certain he/she can attend, at no extra fee. When a postponement is requested by the petitioner, there is a rescheduling fee (AMCR 21.20.007.A), and a new public hearing date shall be determined by the Planning Department. This will put their case in the next available cut-off date queue as if they were submitting their case for the first time. Effective January 01, 2004 Page 6
