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.
