Good evening, everyone. The October 28th, 2025 Loudoun County Planning Commission public hearing will come to order. And as is our custom, let's stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Members of the public who wish to comment on any item on the public hearing legislative agenda may do so. If you're 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 dais to my left. If you signed up to speak after 12.30 p.m., please confirm your name is on the speaker list as public comment signup closes after 12 noon as indicated on the website. If you are participating electronically, please call the number on the bottom of the screen. Indicate your name and the agenda item you wish to address. Each speaker, whether speaking on behalf of an organization or as an individual, will have three minutes. Written comments may be submitted to the Assistant Deputy Clerk who will make copies for the Planning Commission members.
The Commission may vote on the application 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 procedure for tonight's public hearing is as follows. Staff presentation, followed by commissioner's questions to staff. Tonight, each commissioner will be given five minutes to ask questions of staff. Hearing is open then for public comment, three minutes for each speaker. After everyone has had a chance to speak, the hearing is closed. Staff will then have an opportunity to provide any response to public comment. Finally, there will be a motion, deliberation, and vote by the commission. Pursuant to Virginia Code section 2.2-3708.3 and the board's rules of order, Commissioner Banks requested to participate in this meeting remotely.
A physical quorum of the Loudoun County Planning Commission is present in the boardroom and the commission has made arrangements for the voice of Commissioner Banks to be heard by all persons in the boardroom. Commissioner banks made this request within the required time frame and the county attorney determined that his request meets the qualifications to participate remotely The Planning Commission will record in its minutes that Commissioner banks participate remotely due to a personal reason and Commissioner banks just checking to see if you can hear Yes, I can hear you. Thank you. We got you. Thank you very much All right first item up we have minutes from the September 23rd 2025 public hearing
And if anyone's had a chance to review and wishes to make a motion. So moved. Motion made by Commissioner Myers, seconded by Commissioner Miller. And any discussion on the minutes? All those in favor say aye.
Aye.
That motion will carry 7-0-2 with Commissioners Jasper and Moderelli absent for the vote. Next we have disclosures and I will start to my right. Any disclosures? Commissioner Banks, any disclosures? No, Mr. Chairman. Okay. All right. So that will cover that. So our one item for tonight is CPAM 2024-5, Electrical Infrastructure Comprehensive Plan Amendment. And if you notice, I have given staff an extended amount of time, 25 minutes for this presentation, given that it's our only item of the evening. Ready when you are, Pat. Thank you.
