CONSENT AGENDA
The following items are anticipated to require little or no individualized discussion due to their nature
being clerical, ministerial, mundane or routine. In an effort to enhance the efficiency of Planning &
Zoning Commission meetings, it is intended that these items will be acted upon by the Planning & Zoning
Commission with a single motion because no public hearing or determination is necessary. However, a
Planning & Zoning Commission Member or citizen may request separate deliberation for a specific item,
in which event those items will be removed from the consent agenda prior to the Planning & Zoning
Commission voting on the consent agenda as a collective, singular item. Prior to voting on the consent
agenda, the Planning & Zoning Commission may add additional items that are listed elsewhere on the
same agenda.
