I'd like to call tonight's meeting to order. Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all. As we begin our meeting tonight, I'll take a moment to acknowledge that we have a quorum of planning commissioners present with six of nine commissioners in attendance. Commissioner Breen and Commissioner Lynn will not be able to be attended tonight. Commissioner Brigitte may show up, but either way, we have a quorum. We're in good shape. I want to thank everyone in the chamber for attending this evening's meeting. Planning commission meetings are an important part of the process for interpreting and applying the city's comprehensive plan and the Unified Development Ordinance. It's important that our meetings are conducted with dignity and respect, and that applies to every person in attendance. We strive to provide an atmosphere where the ideas and opinions of all participants are held in the highest regard. Finally, the actions on the issues we discuss are ultimately under the responsibility of the City Council. As a planning commission, we're here to help the Council as our elected representatives to be fully informed to make the best choices for our city. By statute, the Planning Commission strives not to engage in any party on the issues on our agenda prior to this meeting. Should that interaction take place as a …
