Public Hearing on moratorium on special and conditional use building permits at Village Hall.

The planning commission is considering a moratorium on special and conditional use building permits.  At this time the village of Garland comprehensive plan and the code and ordinance documents are outdated.  Updates are necessary to the current comprehensive plan and the code and ordinance documents, with considerations of reviewing and adopting the city of Seward's updated documents regarding special and conditional use permits.  A moratorium would put a hold on all special use permits until further information is gathered and a decision for a proposed change is agreed upon by the planning commission and the village board.

Changes to the current comprehensive plan and the codes and ordinance documents require open comment from the public as part of the review process. We are gathering public opinion on this matter as described above.  

Public Hearing Procedure:

  • Each person giving public comments will have a 3 minute time limit.  
  • Forms will be provided for each speaker to record their name/address
  • Forms will be given to the Planning Commission Secretary

During the Public Hearing:

  • No disruptions are allowed by the gallery while a person is being officially heard by the commissioners.
  • Disruptions will be given one warning.
  • A second disruption can result in the Chairman of the Planning Commission having that person(s) removed from the premises of the proceeding.
  • We will remain until all willing speakers have had a chance to express their view.

After the hearing is closed the planning commission will determine if a vote to make a recommendation to the Village Board will be made.
