PROCEDURE FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS
It is the Plan Commission’s job to conduct public hearings in order to receive testimony for and against
petitions for general amendments to the zoning ordinance, zoning map amendments, zoning text
amendments, special use permits and amendments to special use permits.
The procedure followed for public hearings is as follows:
• First, the Plan Commission secretary or the designated representative will read or describe
written items, reports, and plans into the record.
• Second, the petitioner will present testimony in favor of the petition and will present any
supporting plans or exhibits.
• Third, the Commission members will have an opportunity to question the petitioner.
• Fourth, the Commission will then receive citizen testimony both for and against the
petition. Questions about the proposal may be directed to the petitioner or petitioner’s
witnesses and questions about the Plan Commission process itself may be directed to me.
Following such testimony the petitioner and the Plan Commission may ask questions of
those who testified.
• Finally, the petitioner may provide a rebuttal to any testimony in opposition.
When all the testimony is brought into the record the hearing will be closed and the Plan
Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council in the form of a motion or motions.
• In order to give testimony, you must provide your name and address on the registration sheet
located at the entrance of the hearing room and sign in the space provided. By signing the
registration sheet, you agree and understand that anything you say will be considered sworn
testimony and affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
• When giving testimony please approach the lectern, speak directly into the microphone so
that you may be heard. Please begin by stating your name and giving your address. If you
speak additional times, please state your name each time for the record.
• Please be concise when presenting your testimony and if your point has already been made, it
is not necessary to repeat it. Each of these points is recorded and will be considered as the
Plan Commission develops findings of fact and a recommendation or recommendations.
• You may provide your testimony in written form, but such written testimony must be
presented to the Plan Commission secretary or the designated representative prior to the
closing of this hearing.
• After the process is completed and everyone wishing to present testimony has spoken, the
Commission will then decide whether it has heard adequate testimony in order to make a
decision. If it has, the public hearing will be closed.
After a public hearing is closed the Plan Commission will refrain from receiving any additional
testimony either for or against the petition. There is one exception to this rule.
• City staff will submit a report based on the testimony presented at the hearing. This report will
consider comments or concerns from all City Departments such as the Fire Department, Public
Works Department or the Engineering Department.
