HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 3 - Cancel Nov 22 & Dec 27 meetings
DATE: October 25, 2016
TO: Honorable Chairman and Planning Commission
FROM: Jim Kasama, Community Development Administrator
SUBJECT: CANCELLATION OF THE NOVEMBER 22, 2016; AND DECEMBER 27,
2016, REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
The second, regular meeting of the Planning Commission in November is scheduled for
Tuesday, November 22, 2016, which is two days before the Thanksgiving Holiday. The
second regular meeting in December is scheduled for Tuesday, December 27, 2016.
This is two days after Christmas Day. These holiday weeks are particularly busy for
residents and businesses, and having to attend a public meeting is very inconvenient,
and is likely to conflict with other activities. Therefore, it is recommended that the
Planning Commission approve the cancellation of the November 22, 2016, and
December 27, 2016, regular meetings.
DISCUSSION
Typically, the Planning Commission has cancelled its second, regular meeting in
December as it usually occurs shortly before or after the Christmas Holiday, and this
was done last year. The second meeting in November last year was not cancelled, but
there were comments from those involved with the one public hearing item on that
meeting agenda that it was very inconvenient to have to attend a meeting two nights
before Thanksgiving Day. As these holidays are particularly busy for everyone, and in
particular for residents that might be affected by a development proposal, it is usually
requested that items that might be scheduled for these meetings be placed on a later
agenda. Therefore, it is recommended that the Planning Commission approve the
cancellation of the November 22, 2016, and December 27, 2016, regular meetings.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve the cancellation of the
November 22, 2016, and December 27, 2016, regular meetings of the Planning
Commission, and direct staff to post the required notices.
