Adjourned meetings, special meetings, and Study Sessions may be scheduled at other times.

21. 21 The Planning Commission receives a staff report packet on the Tuesday preceding the meeting, allowing time to review each case and make further investigations in the field prior to the scheduled meeting. Staff reports are available in the Community Development Department, the Central Library and on the City’s website (www.surfcity-hb.org) anytime on Wednesday preceding the Tuesday Planning Commission meeting. Under the provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, the action taken by the Planning Commission is final unless an appeal is filed to the City Clerk by you or by an interested party. Said appeal must be accompanied by a filing fee of Two Thousand, Eight Hundred and Fifty-Five Dollars ($2,855.00) if the appeal is filed by a single-family dwelling property owner appealing the decision on his own property and Four Thousand, Five Hundred and Eighty-Two Dollars ($4,582.00) if the appeal is filed by any other party. The appeal shall be submitted to the City Clerk within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the Planning Commission’s action.
