Billy Tons, Deputy City Clerk. All right. We begin our meeting with an expression of inspiration. I think we've just come out of a budget session, so I don't know how you can be any more inspired than sitting for three hours in a budget meeting.

And we come right in to help you do, you know, the government's here to help you. That's exactly what we're trying to do today.

I'm going to take a few minutes to go through the explanation of the zoning process. The process begins with applications submitted to the planning staff for review. There are two types of cases on our agenda tonight, decisions and hearings. Decisions are on cases for which a public hearing was previously held and will have no further public comment. Hearings, we would like to have anyone that wishes to speak as a part of the hearing to come down and see our city clerk at the end over here so that we can get you scheduled on the right petition to speak where you would like to speak. be or have spoken. So we have in the hearings any that we have a staff presentation, the staff has no time limit. The petitioner and those in favor get three minutes combined to present a case unless there are opponents who are signed up to speak or if staff is in opposition.

Vi Lyles 4:47

The petitioner gets ten minutes, the opponent gets ten minutes combined and the petitioner gets a two minute rebuttal. If no one is opposed or sign up to speak, the staff will provide a short presentation and then we will close the public hearing and we'll move to the next item to be open. Petitions then go to the zoning committee of the planning commission for reviewing recommendation. I'd like to introduce the zoning committee chair and ask him to introduce the members of his board. Mr. Welton.
