To correct this issue and ensure adequate notice to all reviewing agencies, interested parties, and organizations Staff recommends Planning Commission continue the public hearing item to the Planning Commission’s next regular meeting on November 9, 2022. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Planning Commission open the public hearing, and by motion, continue the public hearing to the Planning Commission’s next regular meeting on November 9, 2022.
