Agenda items will be called at the discretion of the Chair and not necessarily in the order they are listed on the agenda.

Please check with the Planning Department prior to the meeting regarding items that may be continued. Any agenda item may be continued, without the hearing on the matter being opened or public testimony taken, at the discretion of the Chair. Persons wishing to address the continued item may do so under Open Forum.
