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. You threw me off with your paws there. That's how I up. That's how I learned you. Sorry. We will conduct this meeting now. Should I restart the meeting? No. Okay. We will conduct this meeting in regular format and will allow commissioners, applicants, and interested parties an opportunity to speak. This meeting is being broadcast live on PEG channel 181 and can be streamed on the city's YouTube channel. We will now conduct the roll call of planning commissioners. Commissioner Whitmore, Commissioner Chapman here. Chair Watwick here. Commissioner Wwick here. Commissioner Bruce. Commissioner Bond here. We have a quum. Thank you. Uh planning commission chair person announcements I don't have anything. Um we are about to begin the public hearing portion of the agenda. The following information applies to all the applications being here heard today. The public hearing will be conducted in the following manner. First the planning staff will present their report. The applicant will then make his or her presentation. Next, anyone wishing to speak in support of the proposal will be afforded an opportunity, followed by anyone wishing to speak in opposition to the proposal. Finally, any interested parties or representatives of the public

agencies will be asked to testify. All speakers must state their names and mailing addresses. Any person who wishes to speak may be asked questions by the commissioners. The applicant will be offered the opportunity to rebut evidence. Planning staff will then be given the opportunity to make any final comments at the end of the public testimony portion of this hearing. Testimony and evidence must be given under the following guidelines. All testimony and evidence must be directed toward the criteria outlined in the staff report, comprehensive plan, or land use regulation which applies to the decision. Except for the applicant, testimony shall be limited to 5 minutes unless otherwise stated by the chair. Any exhibits presented will be marked as part of the record and will be kept by the planning staff until appeal opportunities expire. Failure to raise an issue accompanied by statements or evidence sufficient to afford the commission and the parties an opportunity to respond precludes appeal to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals, LUBA on that issue. Failure of the applicant to raise constitutional or other issues relating to proposed conditions of approval with suspic with sufficient specificity to allow the this commission to respond to the issue precludes an action for damages in circuit court. Prior to the conclusion of the evidentiary hearing, any participant may request additional time and the opportunity to present additional evidence or testimony regarding the proposal. This is limited to those who have spoken on the request. Repetitious testimony is not necessary and is discouraged. [Applause] We have a conditional use for a short-term rental.

We have a conditional use permit for a short-term rental at 96380 Dawson Road for consideration tonight. This is a quasi judicial hearing and the planning commission will make a decision on this matter. By a show of hands, does any commissioner have exparte contact to declare for these applications? I see no hands raised. By a show of hands, does any commissioner have any personal bias or personal interest that would preclude their participation in hearing any of these applications? I see no hands raised. By a show of hands, does any commissioner have any potential or actual conflict of interest to declare for any of these applications? I see no hands raised. Does anyone object to the jurisdiction of the planning commission to hear these matters? I think you want to get entered into the record that Okay. Thank you.
