ADJOURNMENT Page 4 Zoning Board of Examiners & Appeals Thursday, October 14, 2010 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING ZONING AND PLATTING DIVISION 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 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 a postponement 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 $750.00 rescheduling fee (AMCR 21.20.007.A), and a new public hearing date shall be determined by the Department of Community Planning and Development. 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 5
