Public Hearing Time Consideration
The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) provides that at the public hearing, those in favor of the rezoning will be allowed a total of 8 minutes to explain their support and those opposed to the rezoning will be allowed a total of 8 minutes to explain their opposition. If you want to make sure that your position is communicated to the City Council, proponents and opponents are encouraged to choose one or two spokespersons and/or present their concerns in writing prior to the hearing.
Please Note: When a rezoning public hearing is continued to a subsequent meeting or held open to be heard at a later date, there is no guarantee that additional time will be allotted for comment by the public. Additional time, if any, allocated for rezoning public hearings - beyond the eight minutes per side specified by the UDO - will be determined when the hearing is resumed. The time limit allotted per side for previously opened/continued Public Hearings will be at the discretion of the Mayor, or presiding officer.
