CITY OF ATHENS PLANNING COMMISSION
Public Hearing Procedure
During the course of a Planning Commission Meeting whenever an application that requires a public hearing (zoning,
re-zoning, conditional use, certain subdivisions of property, etc. . . .) appears on the Commission’s agenda, the Chair
will declare the same and introduce the application to the Commission and citizens who are in attendance.
The Chair will proceed through each scheduled public hearing as follows:
o Staff will provide an explanation of the case and a recommendation.
o Applicant will be given an opportunity to address the commission and should limit their comments to less
than ten (10) minutes.
o When a public hearing is slated, the Chair will open the hearing for public input.
o Members of the public, having been recognized, will be allowed three (3) minutes each to address the
Commission (unless the Chairman specifies otherwise).
NOTE: Large groups may wish to, but are not required to, appoint a spokesperson for the group, in which
case the Chair may grant the spokesperson additional time to speak.
Generally, those desiring to speak “for” the request will be allowed to speak first, followed by those
desiring to speak “against” the request.
Persons wishing to speak should raise their hand to be recognized by the Chairman. Once
recognized, please stand and state your name and address.
Comments should be concise and limited to issues related to the request.
o When the Chairman believes that the Commission has received sufficient citizen input to make a
determination on the application, the public hearing will be closed and the applicant and/or the Staff will be
given an opportunity to address any issues brought out during public comment.
o Chairman will then allow Commission members to make comments or ask questions of anyone present to
clarify issues or provide additional information.
o The Chairman will call for a motion and a second on the motion. Commission members may speak to the
motion, any amendments, or points of parliamentary procedure.
o If a motion is forthcoming, a voice vote will be taken. If the decision is not unanimous, then the Chairman
will direct a roll call vote.
o If a motion is NOT forthcoming, the request will be considered “Denied” for lack of a motion.
PLEASE NOTE: The above-procedure is provided to serve as a guideline for the conduct of public hearings. The chairman
is not limited and/or constrained by this procedure and, under certain circumstances, may deem it necessary to deviate from
this guideline.
