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.
