Submit Public Comments Ahead of Time
You can provide comments to the MAPC Advance Plans Committee in a variety of ways, including those described below. One of the most commonly used formats is to provide comments provided during the MAPC Advance Plans Committee meeting. We request that individuals who wish to speak during the meeting please notify staff and indicate whether they wish to:- speak on an item on the agenda; or
- speak during the general public comments portion of the agenda.
Having the names of public speakers ahead of time assists staff to create a list of speakers to assist with conducting the meeting. Please note the following:
1. public speaker are generally limited to three (3) minutes each unless the time limits are modified by the MAPC Advance Plans Chairperson or Committee; and
2. the number of speakers during the public comments portion of the agenda is generally limited to 3 unless modified by the Chairperson or Committee.
You can also submit comments ahead of the meeting to the Planning Department for distribution to the MAPC Advance Plans Committee members. We request that the comments indicate which item they pertain to and encourage submitters to provide them on the day before the meeting or sooner if possible.
You can also submit comments in video and audio formats. We request that they be less than three (3) minutes in duration and encourage them to be submitted at least 24 hours ahead of the meeting – in order to allow staff to distribute and/or prepare to display them.
Any materials (i.e. photos, displays, etc.) submitted or provided as part of the public comments will be retained by the Planning Department as part of the item record.
