Yes. Although the Planning Commission generally accepts the recommendation of staff on all consent items with one motion, the Commission, the applicant, or members of the public may pull any items off the consent agenda for discussion. If an item is pulled for discussion, the Chairman will request the applicant and/or representative to approach the podium. Generally, if the applicant/representative is not present, the item is continued to the next available Planning Commission meeting.

Planning Commission meetings begin at 4pm. Since the Chairman reserves the right to hear any of the applications out of order, it is strongly suggested you arrive promptly at 4pm.
