Chair John McFarland opened the regular meeting, reviewed the commission's role (land use, zoning, conditional use permits, special exceptions, subdivisions) and explained public hearing procedures: applicants present first, then supporting and opposing parties, with rebuttal only by applicants and a reminder to state name and address. He noted the commission makes recommendations to the City Commission, which makes final decisions.
