Possible Changes to Agenda Order and Timing

Items designated for a specified time will not be heard prior to the stated time but may be heard later.  
Public Comment  
Public comments are welcomed during the public comment periods at the beginning and end of the meeting and  
during public hearing and planning items and are limited to three (3) minutes per person. Persons may not allocate  
unused time to other speakers.  
During the general public comment periods at the beginning and end of the meeting, speakers may address any  
matter either on or off the agenda, including items heard on the consent section of the agenda. For the remainder  
of the agenda, public comment will only be heard during public hearing and planning items and should be about  
the specific item being considered by the Board. If an item is continued, then public comment will not be heard for  
that item until the date of the continued hearing.  
Presentations and public comment for individual agenda items are limited as follows: fifteen minutes each for staff  
and applicant presentations and three minutes for individual speakers unless extended by questions from the  
Board or by action of the Chair. All comments are to be directed to the Board as a whole and not to one individual.  
Emails will be included in the record but will only be read aloud during the meeting subject to the chair’s discretion  
and if time permits.

Responses to Public Comments  
The Planning Commission may deliberate or take action only if a matter has been listed on an agenda properly  
posted prior to the meeting. The Open Meeting Law does not expressly prohibit responses to public comments by  
the Commission. However, responses from Commission members to unlisted public comment topics could become  
deliberation on a matter without notice to the public. To avoid this situation and to ensure that the public has  
notice of all matters the Commission will consider, members may choose not to respond to public comments,  
except to correct factual inaccuracies, ask for County staff action, or to ask that a matter be listed on a future  
agenda.  
Forum Restrictions and Orderly Conduct of Business  
The Planning Commission conducts the business of Washoe County and its citizens during its meetings. The Chair  
may order the removal of any person or group of persons whose statement or other conduct disrupts the orderly,  
efficient or safe conduct of the meeting. Warnings against disruptive comments or behavior may or may not be  
given prior to removal. The viewpoint of a speaker will not be restricted, but reasonable restrictions may be  
imposed upon the time, place and manner of speech. Irrelevant and unduly repetitious statements and personal  
attacks which antagonize or incite are examples of speech that may be reasonably limited.
