yeah I'll leave them right here so you can compare those to what's in the new was that the schedule of regulations. Yeah, the 1600. Make sure my notes are and I had a question on just on these. So public hearings like these we have if someone requests a change then we have to take up the matter as a zoning comm planning commission. Correct. Like the ones that are scheduled. Yes. So the planning commission will have a public hearing and then it will be recommended to city council. So, in cases like these, do we could we have like could staff just put the public hearing on the agenda or do we feel like we need to do that?

The planning commission has to schedule a public hearing. That's how our ordinance is written. Okay. Okay. I just wondered about that. Yeah. Okay. Any other comments, updates? I don't have any and John didn't have any. Okay. Well, I am moved that we adjourn this meeting at 60 minute.
