During the meeting, the chairperson will call the agenda items individually and ask if the applicant or a representative of the
applicant wishes to speak. The applicant or the applicant’s representative may speak either in person or, if they are
participating by phone may press *9 on their phone or, if they are participating on the Zoom App, they should click the “raise
hand” button, and they will be recognized to speak. After the applicant or the applicant’s representative has spoken, the
chairperson will then ask if there is anyone wishing to speak in favor of the application. At that point, citizens wishing to
speak in favor should raise their hand, press *9 on their phone, or click the “raise hand” button on the Zoom App. The
moderator will indicate to the chairperson that there are X number of people to speak in favor by remote means. Speakers
will then be identified to speak. Those participating remotely will be unmuted one at a time with a notification to the speaker
that their line has been unmuted. Speakers will first be asked to state their name and address for the record, and after doing
so may speak. Once the time for those speaking “in favor” has expired, the chairperson will ask if there is anyone wishing to
speak in opposition to the application and the same process for selecting speakers will be used for those speaking in
opposition until their time has expired. If the applicant or their representative has any time left, they will be asked if they
wish to use any rebuttal time and, if so, will be called upon in the same manner as their original presentation. Please note that
it is the duty of any opponent of a rezoning action to file a campaign contribution disclosure in compliance with O.C.G.A. §
36-67A-3.
The purpose of the meeting will be for public hearings, discussion and consideration of the items as outlined on the agenda,
and such other business as may properly come before the Board.
