Oral comments concerning the proposed amendments to Article 19 of the Zoning Ordinance will be heard by the Plan Commission in accordance with the procedures established for the public hearing. The proposed amendments will be considered during the Public Hearing and may be continued from time to time as determined necessary by the Plan Commission.
