State law restricts the City Planning Commission from taking action on an item unless it

listed on this agenda will normally have to be delayed until the item can be made part of a
posted agenda. Additionally, significant changes to a project made subsequent to posting
of the agenda and not addressed in the City Planning Commission staff report will result in
continuance of that item in order to allow for adequate review by the Commission.

speaker card to the Planning Commission Secretary. Speaker cards can be found at the
east entrance to the Art Pick Council Chamber and City Hall lobby. Speaker cards will be
