THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALI-
FORNIA, DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION L That pursuant to Section 704 of the Arcadia City
Charter,the following rules governing the setting and conducting of
public hearings are hereby established:
A. No more than three (3) initial public hearings on
matters shall be scheduled for any meeting; provided, however, that
~ this rule shall not preclude the scheduling of all public hearings
within the time required by law for the holding thereof.
B. At the opening of the initial publiC hearing on a
matter, neither side shall be permitted to consume more than one-half
(t) hour; when each side has consumed one-half (t) hour or has com-
pleted its presentation, the hearing shall, if not completed, be re-
cessed to a point at the end of the agenda of such meeting, and the
hearing again resumed when such place on the agenda is reached by the
Commission; provided, however, that the Commission may in its dis-
cretion continue a hearing to a future date instead of recessing it
to the end of the agenda.
C. Unless a longer period is required by the nature of
the matter or of the presentation, no one person shall consume more
~ than five (5) minutes in presenting any matter before the Planning
Commission. Every person shall, however, be given full opportunity

of argument on any matter, and restrict the presentation of purely

TO:
CITY A HORNEY
FROM:
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
As I understood the Commission last Tuesday night, they want a firm policy about
public hearings.
~,"",.
,t,,'~ ~','
In my opinion their wishes can best be served if this policy is put in resolution form.
,
"
",
In substance they stated:
1. The number of public hearings will be limited to three on
anyone agenda.
2. Ample time will be provided each and every person wishing to
be heard at these public hearings.
3. The initial time permitted for each public hearing will be one
hour, equally divided between those parties wishing to speak
for and ag ainst the case. Additional time will be provided
if needed in the following manner:
a. After one hour the Commission will move to continue the
public hearing to a date certain or to a later hour on the
same evening by placing the item at the end of the agenda.
It was also decided by the Commission that in the future the Staff would present to them
the cases filed which are to be on their next agenda or which required a date of public
hearing to be set.
Another point concurred in by the Comm ission was that two standing comm ittees are to
be created. One would be a Zoning Committee, the other a Subdivision Committee.
These committees would be composed of three members of the Commission. They would
be charged with reviewing items referred to them either by the Staff or by the Commission.
If you think this idea has merit can the resolution be drafted for action by the Commission
at its next meeting - June 22, 19652
