we begin our our zoning meetings with an explanation of the zoning process. And the process begins with applications submitted to planning staff for review. Cases of two types are on the agenda. We have decisions and we have hearings. Decisions on cases for which a public hearing was previously held, therefore there are no further public comment. And for hearings, anyone wishing to speak is asked to see our clerk before the start of that particular hearing. Staff will provide a presentation without a time limit. And the petitioner, that is, those who are in favor, will receive s three minutes combined to present the case, unless one of two scenarios exists.
