Consent Agenda Approval (Including Two Variances)
Dissent: None
Moved by Commissioner Finn Seth [0:01:29] · Seconded by Commissioner Hill [0:01:34]
The Planning Commission considered and approved its consent agenda, which included two specific variance applications. As no commissioner requested to remove either item for individual discussion, the consent agenda, and thus the two variances, were approved via a unanimous vote.
Notable Quotes (2)
You will note that in the agenda, we have two variances to work on. And they are listed in the consent agenda, which means that if we want to discuss either one of them further, uh, any commissioner can move to have that item open for discussion and take it out of the consent agenda. Otherwise, those two items, as under the consent agenda, if we approve the consent agenda, those variances are both approved.
The two variances are approved via the consent agenda.
