CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS
32400 Paseo Adelanto
Welcome to the City of San Juan Capistrano's planning process. The Planning Commission has a long tradition of carefully considering public testimony on land use planning issues and proposed development projects. The Commission both encourages and values public comment and recognizes the public hearing process as an important forum for participation by the City's residents and business people.
Should you wish to address the Commission on a Planning issue not on this evening's agenda, you may do so during the oral communication part of the agenda. The Chairman will announce when oral communication may be made. Should you want to address the Commission on an Agenda Item, please complete and submit a "request to speak" form to the Recording Secretary seated at the front table. This will allow the Commission Chairman to conduct the meeting more efficiently. While all persons wanting to address the Commission will be given the opportunity to do so, those who submit a "request to speak" form will be called to speak first.
Persons who have submitted a "request to speak" form will be called individually by the Chairman. Speakers must limit their comments to no more than three (3) minutes. It's important that speakers state their position on a project or issue at the beginning of their statement. Speakers should limit their comments to the introduction of new information or explanation of information previously introduced. Organizations or groups are encouraged to designate a single spokesperson and the Chairman may allow such individuals additional time to address the Commission. Some topics and projects can evoke strong emotions. However, you are asked to refrain from verbal outbursts or applause that detract from a rational discussion of issues.
No agenda item will be opened for hearing by the Commission after 11:00 p.m. Any agenda item under discussion before 11:00 p.m. may continue past this hour. The Chairman will give notice to the audience at 10:00 p.m. as to which remaining items will be heard prior to 11:00 p.m. Any agenda item not heard prior to 11:00 p.m. will be continued to the Commission's next regularly-scheduled meeting. Thank you for your participation.
