Thank you all. Pursuant to the Code of Virginia Section 2.2-3708.3 and the Planning Commission Remote Participation Policy, Commissioner Moderetti has requested to participate in this meeting by electronic communication from a remote location that is not open to the public. Commissioner Moderetti has stated that he cannot attend this meeting due to a personal matter and will be joining the meeting from Hyderabad, India, which is not open to the public. Now, he is not with us at this moment, but we may be joining us shortly. So as required by law, a physical quorum of the Planning Commission is present in the boardroom, and the commission has made arrangements for the voice of Commissioner Maduretti to be heard by all persons in the boardroom.

Commissioner Moderetti made this request within the timeframe required by policy and the county attorney has determined that Commissioner Moderetti meets the qualifications to participate remotely. The commission will record in its minutes the specific nature of the personal matter and the location from which Commissioner Moderetti participated remotely. All right, being that this is a public hearing, members of the public who wish to comment on any item on the public hearing legislative agenda may do so. If you are in the boardroom, please fill out a speaker slip and hand it to the Assistant Deputy Clerk of the Planning Commission at the end of the day as to my left. If you're participating electronically, please call the number on the bottom of the screen.

If you signed up to speak after 12.30 p.m., please confirm your name is on the speaker list as public comment sign-up closes after 12 noon, as indicated on our website. Please indicate your name and the agenda item you wish to speak about. Each speaker will have three minutes.

How is remote participation by Commissioner Moderetti handled under the county policy?

Michelle Frank 4:59

We haven't adopted the new bylaws yet. We'll have three minutes, six minutes if you're speaking on behalf of a civic organization. If there is more than one person signed up from the same organization, please choose only one person to speak on their behalf. Written comments may be submitted to the Assistant Deputy Clerk who will make copies for the Planning Commission. The Commission may vote on applications tonight and send its recommendation to the Board of Supervisors or may forward the item to a work session for further consideration before taking a final vote. Our procedures for public hearings are as follows. We will have a 10-minute staff presentation followed by commissioner's questions to staff.

Michelle Frank 5:36

Tonight, each commissioner will be given three minutes to ask questions of staff. We'll limit the round of commission questions to one round, if at all possible, please. 10-minute applicant presentation when applicable. I think this evening we're all internal. Hearing will be open to the public comment. After everyone has had a chance to speak, the hearing will be closed. The applicant and staff will have an opportunity to provide any responses to public comment. And finally, there will be a motion, deliberation, and a vote by the commission. All right. We have minutes to review and adopt. Do I have a motion?

Eric D. Combs 6:12

Madam Chair, I move that the Planning Commission adopt the minutes for the Loudoun County Planning Commission public hearing dated February 26, 2024 as presented.

Michelle Frank 6:26

Okay. Motion is made by Vice Chair Combs, seconded by Commissioner Kearse. Do we have any changes, comments, or corrections to those minutes? All right. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? The motion carries. 8-0-1. Commissioner Modeready is still absent. We will go ahead and do disclosures before we get into our legislative items. If you have a disclosure, if you would be so kind as to turn on your light, and I'll just run down the road.
