about this commission meeting

The Public Hearing will include a Discussion/Approval of an Architectural Review of construction plans for 1000 W. Ocean Drive. There will also be a discussion/approval of two, four post boat lifts on 7th Street. Both items are per the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Board.

The REGULAR MEETING will begin at 9:35 a.m. or at the end of the Public Hearing.

We encourage every KCBer to Ask Your Commissioners about these items on the agenda. The commentary restriction, "Members of the Public may speak for three minutes and may only speak once unless waived by a majority vote of the commission" remains on the agenda. Also "Letters submitted to the City Clerk will be made part of the record but not read into record." The agenda does have two periods for citizen comments and correspondence, once after the special requests and again before the meeting is adjourned.
