Decisions of the Planning Commission on use permits, variances, major subdivisions, appeals taken from decisions of the Zoning Administrator or staff interpretations of the Zoning Code may be appealed to the City Council. Appeals and the required filing fee must be filed with the City Clerk within ten (10) days of the decision.
APPLICANT’S SUBMITTAL OF INFORMATION
Submittal of information by a project applicant subsequent to the distribution of the agenda packet but prior to the public hearing may result in a continuance of the subject agenda item to the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting, if the Commission determines that such late submittal compromises its ability to fully consider and evaluate the project at the time of the public hearing.

The project applicant normally shall be the first person to make a presentation when a hearing is opened for public comment. The project applicant’s presentation should not exceed ten (10) minutes unless the Chair grants permission for a longer presentation. After the public has commented, the item is closed to further public comment and brought to the Planning Commission level for discussion and action. Further comment from the audience will not be received unless requested by the Commission.
