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
