Persons should also indicate whether they are representing anyone other than themselves after the presentation or comments.
After the presentation or comments, please be seated unless the chair or members of the commission have questions of the petitioner or speaker. Statements which are demeaning or defamatory Members of the public staff or the commission are inappropriate and out of order. In the interest of fairness, we also ask that you observe the three-minute time limit. You will hear a bell at the end of three minutes. At that time, we would appreciate your summing up and yielding the floor when the bell indicates your time has expired. This rule applies to all such citizens, however. If you are representing a group such as an HOA, please indicate the group that you're representing when you sign up and you'll be allowed up to five minutes to speak.
The procedure for public hearing is as follows. First, the staff will present their report. Second, the applicant will present their case. Third, members of the public will have their opportunity to speak. Fourth, planning commission questions. Fifth, we'll close the public hearing or leave it open until the next meeting. Then we will have a Planning Commission discussion and a vote on the application or delay the vote to the next meeting. Mr. Clousek.
chair and good evening members of the commission this evening i'm here to present to you tlrezn 2025 002 crescent sicklin if this application sounds familiar to you it is because the planning commission did in fact see this application a little over a year ago and council approved a version of this application back in September of 2024. So the request before you this evening is to amend the concept plan and proffers for that previously approved rezoning. And we'll go through some of the specific changes that the applicant is proposing at this time. So you might also remember that there was a special exception for fill in the floodplain with that application. We do not have to amend the special exception approval because all of the work for this application still falls within the boundaries of that initial special exception.
