PLANNING AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION The Mission Viejo Planning and Transportation Commission consist of five residents of the City who are appointed by Mission Viejo City Council members. The Mission Viejo Planning and Transportation Commission meets regularly on the second and fourth Monday of each month in the Council Chamber located at 200 Civic Center, Mission Viejo. Meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. Each city in California must adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the city. Mission Viejo's long range planning goals and master strategy are embodied in its General Plan. The Planning and Transportation Commission advises the City Council regarding amendments to that Plan. The policies, goals and objectives of the General Plan are implemented through the City's development standards. The Planning and Transportation Commission has the authority to approve or deny applications for development within the City. Types of applications included are: tentative tract maps, tentative parcel maps, planned development permits, conditional use permits, architectural review, variances, and sign programs. The Planning and Transportation Commission makes recommendations to the City Council on all applications for changes in the Development Code and Zoning Map. The Commission also reviews matters relating to traffic and transportation. AGENDA The Planning and Transportation Commission provides an agenda for each of its meetings identifying the items to be considered. Prior to consideration of the listed agenda items, the Commission allows oral communications for the public to address the Commission on items NOT listed on the agenda. Time is limited to three minutes per person. The items on the agenda are arranged into three categories, depending upon the type of case: Consent Calendar Items: These are relatively minor in nature, do not have significant issues or concerns, and do not require a public hearing. All consent calendar items are considered by the Commission as one item and a single vote is taken for their approval, unless an item is removed from the consent calendar for individual discussion. Public Hearings: This category is for applications that require by law a hearing open to public comment because of the discretionary nature of the request. Public hearings are formally conducted and have a specific time where public testimony is requested. This is your opportunity to speak on the item(s) that concern you. New/Old Business: Items in this category are general in nature agendized for the Commission's discussion. At 10:00 p.m. the Commission will review the remaining agenda items and make a decision regarding the items to be considered before the 11:00 p.m. adjournment and the items to be continued until the next meeting. PUBLIC INPUT If you are interested in addressing the Planning and Transportation Commission on any item, please fill out your full name and address (address optional) on a form provided at the speaker's table. Submit the completed form to the secretary at the front of the chambers. The chairman will recognize you to speak when the item is considered. When you speak to the Commission, state your full name and address for the record. Members of the public must direct their questions to the chairman and not to other members of the Commission, the staff, or the audience. STAFF AND STAFF REPORTS The Planning staff, which is situated on the Commission's left, is responsible for reviewing applications submitted for conformance with City's planning and zoning standards and for providing a report with findings and recommendation. The Planning and Transportation Commission uses the staff reports as informational documents when reviewing development proposals or other agenda items. Copies of the staff report and any supplemental writings or documents distributed after posting of the agenda are available in the Community Development Department during normal business hours or on the City’s web site at www.cityofmissionviejo.org. If you have any questions regarding any item of business on the agenda, please contact the Community Development Department at (949) 470-3053 or by email at cd@cityofmissionviejo.org. APPEALS Any interested person may appeal a decision of the Planning and Transportation Commission regarding the action taken on a discretionary planning application. Appeals must be in writing, must state the reasons for the appeal, must be accompanied by the appeal fee ($1,000 for action on a single family dwelling, $1,500 for all others), and must be submitted to the City Clerk within 15 calendar days of the Commission's action for discretionary planning matters other than the subdivision of land; the appeal period for the subdivision of land is 10 days.
