Meeting Dates: The Commission meets reg­ularly on the first and third Tuesday of each month at Town Hall in the City Council Chambers; additional meetings may be scheduled as needed.

Meeting Access: The City of Placerville wishes to make all of its public meetings accessible to the public. Upon request, this agenda will be made available in appropriate alternative formats to persons with disabilities, as required by 42 U.S.C. §12132 of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Any person with a disability who requires a modification or accommodation in order to participate in a meeting should direct such request to the City Clerk (530)642-5531 at least 72 hours before the meeting, if possible.

Governing Regulations and Rules: The Commission conducts all meetings in accordance with the "Ralph M.

Public Participation:  Public participation in the hearing process is encouraged.

Please step up to the podium microphone then wait to be recognized by the Chair before speaking at the podium when addressing the Commission.

Each speaker will be asked to voluntarily state his/her name before speaking.  Address the Planning Commission Chair with all testimony and questions. Please do not address the applicant, members of the public or staff.

The Commission and City staff will ensure order and decorum during all Commission meetings. Persons demonstrating rude, boisterous or profane behavior will be called to order by the Chair. If such conduct continues, the Chair may call a recess, requesting the removal of such person(s) from the Council Chamber, adjourn the meeting or take other appropriate action.

Agree or disagree respectfully. Please, no applause, or booing or personal attacks.  Please take personal discussions out of the Town Hall chambers so as not to disturb others or disrupt the public hearing.

A speaker may not defer his/her time to other speakers.

Groups or organizations are encouraged to select a spokesperson to speak on their behalf. Each subsequent speaker is encouraged to submit new information, rather than repeating comments made by prior speakers.

Written Material:  The Planning Commission may not have sufficient time to fully review written materials presented at the public hearing. Interested parties are encouraged to provide written materials at least eight (8) days prior to the public hearing to allow distribution with the Planning Commission’s agenda packet to provide adequate time for review by the Planning Commission.
