Public input may be received at the request of the Commission. 3. Public Hearings: This category is for case applications that require, by law, a hearing open to public comment because of the discretionary nature of the request. Public hearings are formally conducted and public input/testimony is requested at a specific time. This is your opportunity to speak on the item(s) that concern you. 4.

Appeals: The formal action by the Planning Commission regarding Conditional Use Permits, Variances, Tentative Tract and Parcel Maps, Minor Exceptions, Site Plan Review, and Public Convenience or Necessity Determinations are final and shall become effective after the ten-day appeal period (unless the City Council in compliance with section 41-643, 41-644 or 41-645 holds a public hearing on the matter, then the formal action will become effective on the day following the hearing and decision by the City Council).
