Page 4 <br />Planning Commission Standing Rules <br />6. Once the public testimony phase is complete the chair will announce the public hearing to be <br />closed and the commission will revert back to its open discussion mode of operation. From this <br />point on, public input will only be appropriate when solicited by the commission. <br />7. Voting on any motion that results from a public hearing may be by roll call if requested by a <br />commissioner. <br />8. It shall be the intent of the commission to vote on the issue at the same meeting as the public <br />hearing and as close in time to the public hearing as possible. Should it be necessary to defer voting <br />until a later date, that procedure will be clearly explained to the audience. <br />9. No public hearing will extend beyond 9:30 p.m. <br />10. If the motion contains conditions, as may occur in conditional use or variance requests, those <br />conditions will be conveyed in writing to the requestor. <br />11. If the public hearing is the result of a resident request and that request is denied in whole or in <br />part, reasons of fact supporting the denial will be made part of the public record. <br />ADOPTION/MODIFICATION/SUSPENSION <br />These rules with the exception of the mandatory 10:00 P.M. adjournment, can be adopted, modified <br />or suspended in whole or in part by a 3/4 vote of the commission. If suspended, they are <br />automatically reinstated at the next meeting. Should they be suspended or a situation occurs that is <br />not covered by the standing rules, Sikkink's Seven Motion System (attached) will apply. <br />ANNUAL REVIEW <br />These rules will be reviewed annually at the first meeting in February. <br />INTERPRETATION <br />The chair will interpret the rules. However, the chair's interpretation can be appealed by any <br />commission member and can be overruled by a majority vote. <br />• <br />
