Due to COVID-19 precautions, members of the public will not be able to attend the July 22, 2020,
Planning and Zoning Commission meeting in-person. To accommodate and receive input on agenda items,
citizens will be able to participate in one of the following ways (NOTE: Other than public hearings, citizens
are only able to comment one time per agenda item; citizens cannot use both methods to comment on a
single agenda item. Public comments are not held for work session reports.):
• Virtual White Card – On Friday, Jul 17, 2020, the agenda was posted online at
www.cityofdenton.com/publicmeetings. Once the agenda is posted, a link to the Virtual White Card, an
online form, will be made available under the main heading on the webpage. Within this form, citizens may
indicate support or opposition and submit a brief comment about a specific agenda item. Comments may
be submitted up until the start of the meeting, at which time, the Virtual White Card form will be closed.
Similar to when a citizen submits a white card to indicate their position on the item, these comment forms
will be sent directly to Planning and Zoning Commission members and recorded by the Secretary.
Planning and Zoning Commissioners review comments received in advance of the meeting and take that
public input into consideration prior to voting on an agenda item. The Chair will announce the number of
Cards submitted in support or opposition to an item during the public comment period. Comments will not
be read during the meeting. The Secretary will reflect the number of comments submitted in
favor/opposition to an item, the registrant’s name, address, and (summary of) comments within the Minutes
of the Meeting, as applicable.
OR
• By phone – Citizens wishing to speak over the phone during this Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting, may call (940) 349-7800 beginning 30 minutes prior to the meeting start time. Comments by
phone will be accepted until the item is opened for discussion by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
When the call is initially received, a staff member will receive the caller’s information and either: 1) offer to
call the citizen back when it is time for them to speak, or 2) record the caller’s information, support or
opposition, and comment. If the caller chooses to record their support or opposition, rather than speaking
during the meeting, the Chair will announce the number of comments submitted in support or opposition to
the item. If the caller wishes to receive a call back, the voice of each caller will be broadcast into the
meeting during the public commenting time of their desired agenda item. Individuals will be able to
comment once per agenda item, no matter the method.
