The public hearing for the zoning petitions we are hearing tonight has been held at some previous date in front of City Council and the Zoning Committee. This meeting is not a continuation of those hearings, so there will be no public input unless the committee has a specific question, in which case the committee will suspend the session and ask the petitioner that question directly. We'll begin our meeting, as always, with introductions. We're going to begin today to my right with Commissioner Shaw.
