At the close of the June 25 hearing, the Commission passed a motion to close the public hearing but leave the record open for seven days to allow for additional written testimony.  The Planning Commission will only review the information submitted during the open record period and will deliberate to formulate a recommendation to the City Council. The record is closed, and no oral or written testimony will be accepted.
