ACTION AFTER RECEIPT OF COMMENT LETTER
FIRST SET OF COMMENTS
Your project has been scheduled for a public hearing by the Planning Commission for June 25, 2019,
which is 83 days from the date your application was accepted for review. State Code requires a 90-day
review by the Planning Commission unless the applicant requests deferral. As you will read in this
comment letter, staff recommends changes to your project to help you achieve approval. Without
these changes, staff cannot recommend approval to the Planning Commission.
If you would like to address the comments, you must request deferral by May 31, 2019. If you choose
not to request deferral, staff will take your project to the Commission as originally submitted, but
without a recommendation of approval. Instructions for requesting a deferral are outlined below.
Please note that you can submit revisions even if you defer your application.
By May 31, 2019, please do one of the following:
(1) Request deferral to resubmit to address comments, pursuant to Section 33.52 (A)(1), and
understand the Planning Commission date will be later than June 25, 2019.
(2) Proceed to Planning Commission public hearing on June 25, 2019, and fees must be paid
by May 31, 2019

comment letter with your submittal.

to subsection 33.52(A) and fails to provide within 90 days before the end of the deferral period all of

provided in subsection 33.52(A).
