1. A hearing shall be held at the date, time and place for which notice was given unless the required quorum of hearing body members is not present.

2. Any hearing may be continued from time to time without further notice; provided that the chair of the hearing body announces the date, time, and place to which the hearing will be continued before the adjournment or recess of the hearing. (Ord. 1268 § 2, 2018; Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

Following a public hearing held by the planning commission on any matter on which it will make a recommendation, the director shall submit a written report including a summary of the hearing, findings and recommendations to the board of supervisors within thirty (30) calendar days after completion of said hearing. (Ord 1268 § 2, 2018; Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

1. Upon receipt of the recommendations of the planning commission, the board of supervisors shall hold a public hearing after giving notice in the manner specified in Government Code sections 65090 & 65091; provided, however, that if the planning commission has recommended against the approval of such request, the board of supervisors shall not be required to take any further action unless an appeal is filed with the clerk of the board of supervisors within five calendar days after the decision of the planning commission.
