Difficulties:
The Public Comment section offers an opportunity for any citizen to express opinions or ask questions
regarding City services, policies or other matters of community concern, and any agenda items that are
not a part of a scheduled public hearing. Citizens will have three minutes for comments if they are
speaking as an individual, or five minutes if speaking on behalf of a group or organization. These time
limits were established to provide efficiency in the conduct of the meeting and to allow equal opportunity
for everyone wishing to speak. An immediate response should not be expected, as issues are typically
referred to City staff for follow-up or research and are then reported back to Council and the individual
who initiated the comment or inquiry.

use, although applicants are permitted to display relevant illustrations and material useful in informing the

presentation of materials, if desired.

DISCUSSION AGENDA
10 Consideration of Land Use Cases
Given the quasi-judicial nature of land use cases, applicants, members of the public and press are
advised that, to ensure a fair and unbiased process, and to provide due process to the applicant and the
public, the City Council is only allowed to consider communications that occur during the public hearing
and matters set forth in the offical record for the matter. Consequently, City Council Members cannot
engage in conversations about any land use applications prior to the formal hearing.
