Rules and Regulations
August 23, 2016
(e) For appeals, the Appelant’s presentation would precede the Applicant’s. (f) At the conclusion of the presentation by the applicant or proponents, any persons who oppose the application may make a presentation, and present any materials, exhibits, documents or other physical evidence.
(g) All exhibits, documents or other physical evidence used by applicant or other interested parties during the hearings, will be introduced into evidence and will become part of the record and retained by the Secretary until the decision becomes final. (h) Members of the public wishing to speak on an item shall not be required to be sworn. Each speaker will be required to approach the microphone and give their full name and address for the record before testifying.
(i) The Planning Commission may ask questions of the speaker, through the Chair. (j) The reading of details of letters and petitions by the persons submitting them may be permitted provided the material is not overly lengthy. Speakers will be asked to summarize written material. Such documents may be filed with the Secretary and the Secretary shall mark them as having been received for the limited purpose of showing the names of the persons protesting or supporting the application.
(k) While it is desirable in a democratic process to permit every person an unlimited right to speak, such a right unduly prolongs a public hearing and clouds the basic issue if the evidence presented is merely repetitious. Therefore, whenever necessary, the Chairperson may state that repetitious evidence is to be avoided. Similarly, testimony and evidence which is incompetent, irrelevant or immaterial may be foreclosed by the Chairperson. If such improper evidence is received, it shall not be considered by the Commission in reaching its decision. (l) The Commission may establish special rules for individual items of business, establishing time limits for presentations and requiring presentations to be made through spokespersons, if possible.
(m) After those in favor or opposed to an application have been heard, the Chairperson will ask for the recommendation of staff and the reasons for such recommendation. After such recommendation, both the applicant and opponent, if any, shall be given a limited amount of time to summarize their position or respond to the recommendation, after which the Chairperson shall close the public portion of the hearing. (n) The Commission should discuss the issues involved and make its decision only after hearing the evidence presented at the public hearing. Discussion of the matter by members of the Commission concurrently with or immediately following the staff’s factual report and before the public has an opportunity to present its point of view may influence the Commission action. Therefore, except for questions by the Commission to obtain or clarify the facts, discussion of the matter by Commission members should be delayed until after the public hearing is closed and the matter is presented to the Commission for discussion and decision. (o) The Commission may conduct a field trip to view the property involved in the public hearing. All field trips shall be taken as part of a regular, adjourned regular or special meeting of the Commission and all interested persons will be afforded the opportunity to be present to hear any reports or comments. A complete record of such field trip will be entered into the minutes so the record will indicate that the field trip was taken into consideration as evidence. If a Commissioner has personal knowledge of the property area, the Commissioner should make a #9..

statement to that effect at the time of the hearing so the record will reflect everything being taken into consideration in making the final decision.
(p) Commissioners are responsible for ensuring that the public hearing is conducted in a fair and impartial manner. If a Commissioner receives personal contact or telephone calls outside of the public hearing which concerns a matter pending before or of interest to the Planning Commission, he or she shall disclose the substance and nature of the contact or call at the public hearing. If written materials are presented to the Commission by an applicant or member of the public, a copy must be made available for public review by filing the materials with the Secretary at least three (3) days in advance of the meeting at which the item or matter is scheduled to be considered or at the time the materials are provided to any Commissioner, whichever is earliest.

I am a professor of history an Modesto Junior College and am active in college community activities directly associated with civic engagement. My most recent experience is in the development in our Democracy in the Public Space Lecture Series. The School of Behavioral and Social Sciences’ Democracy in the Public Space is dedicated to fostering a vibrant community dialogue on the principles of democracy, civic responsibility, and community involvement. Through an engaging series of lectures, discussions, and an educational poster campaign, we aim to inspire active participation in the political process, to address societal challenges, and to cultivate a culture of informed and engaged citizenship. This lecture series has hosted local political leaders and students and how they have participated in making change in their communities. Our series also showcased the history of relining and property ownership in Modesto. As a member of our Academic Senate I have worked closely with others on issues of diversity, equity and inclusion and a representative of my school, parliamentarian on the Senate Executive Committee, and Senate representative on our College Council and District Policy and Procedures Committee.
I am eager to support Modesto’s vision for balanced growth, sustainable development, and inclusive planning. My background in history, community engagement, and equity-focused leadership, combined with my tenure at Modesto Junior College, gives me a unique perspective on the importance of preserving our region’s heritage while fostering a vibrant future.
My personal investment in Modesto’s future runs deep. From my family’s longstanding connection to this community to my ongoing contributions as an educator and leader, I am genuinely committed to supporting Modesto’s growth and development. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute my expertise in analyzing historical and social factors to help the Planning Commission make decisions that will shape a dynamic, inclusive, and sustainable future for all Modesto residents.
Through my academic and professional experience, I have cultivated skills that align with the Commission’s mandate to guide thoughtful development decisions and provide comprehensive recommendations to the City Council. I am accustomed to evaluating historical context, assessing competing interests, and fostering open dialogue to support policies that reflect the community’s needs and values. I bring a commitment to data-informed decision-making, collaboration, and accountability—qualities essential to ensuring that Modesto’s growth is not only strategic but also reflective of the diverse voices within our community.
As an active participant in Modesto Junior College’s initiatives, I have experience engaging with both staff and students to promote equitable policies, facilitate effective program implementation, and lead conversations around sustainability, inclusivity, and community impact. My role in the Academic Senate and various committees has involved advocating for fair practices, increasing accessibility, and creating resources that improve community members’ experience—a practice I hope to continue on a larger scale with the Planning Commission.

LinkedIn post
I support local businesses as much as possible and participate in outdoor and environmental events such as river cleanups, run clubs, and gym groups. I am a bike commuter whenever possible. I have begun watching City council meetings on YouTube and am active in my neighborhood watch communications.
As an avid bike rider, I hope to bring a perspective to the city that takes into consideration those of us on the literal streets.
I was raised in Modesto and moved to live DC, NYC, San Diego/La Jolla, and Lima, and had the opportunity to experience different communities and their relationship to transportation. I travel often and have visited many other regions of this country and world, and can bring well-informed guidance problems presented or passed through the commission. I am a highly organized and motivated individual, influenced by my elderly mother that I also hope to support as a member of the senior community living and needing transport in this city.

Qualifications
Yes
After working with the Tuolumne River Trust and being a part of their Park Youth commission,I was exposed to hands-on community outreach, and it interested me. Through the Youth Commission, I would be able to help my community and address their worries. I have learned that being involved is the best way to make change, so I want to take that step.
The primary issue impacting the Youth in our community is the use of AI. With AI, students are losing intellectual integrity and it makes them lose the ability to make conclusions by themselves. This ruins their creativity and makes them dependent upon the use of AI.
Current commissioners informed me about the activities and how the meetings are.
Being fluent in Spanish, I am able to connect with a wider variety of people. I experienced this while taking surveys at an event where the majority only spoke Spanish and none of my peers did. My social awareness would also allow me to not only work alongside the other commissioners but also with people of all ages.
Yes
If selected, I commit to attending all my meetings and serving diligently to represent the youth of Modesto on the Youth Commission.

Current members of the commission told me about the commission
At night, after we are all back from work, my family and I watch different movies and series with a big bowl of a random snack. I see this as a time to relax and bond with my family while talking about our days. I also really wanted to learn a new language so I have started to independently study French, which I find difficult but interesting.

Qualifications
Yes
Over the past two years I have been able to build a deep connection with the people of Modesto, through providing volunteering opportunities through my subcommittee as well as grow the knowledge of the commission.
I see that there is not a lot of awareness for the youth in my age range that the city allows. Of course there is this commission, but for the events the city holds, there isn’t a lot of high schoolers at these events volunteering, even though there are hundreds in our community that would love to help.
I have been to almost every event and meeting, and in doing so, was a very involved commissioner. I headed the Holiday Parade, the addition of a Love Modesto event, and starting Utilities outreach, which I would look forward into continuing that partnership. I also have connections that have saved the group monetary value for what we have done.
Yes
If selected, I commit to attending all my meetings and serving diligently to represent the youth of Modesto on the Youth Commission.

In serving as our Vice Chair last year, I prioritized asking the community about the ways we can improve the youth experience in Modesto. The overwhelming response was to increase youth civic engagement and provide more youth entertainment outlets. If selected to rejoin this year, I want to lead efforts to begin implementing these changes.
As an anti-tobacco advocate, I've noticed widespread vape usage on campuses across the district; as a current Youth Commissioner, I've noticed educational apathy and low youth engagement with civic processes in the city, and as an involved resident of Modesto, I've noticed a lack of youth entertainment options by speaking to the community.
Prior to my first year on the Youth Commission, I learned about this through my friend and former Youth Commission member, Aheli Patel.
As Founder & President of Creation4Cessation, I lead a team of 40 youth to drive nicotine cessation policy and mindset change for youth struggling with addiction.
Representing 30,000 students as MCS Co-Student Rep., I'm currently spearheading a capstone project requirement, gaining skills in leadership, delegation, and collaboration with adults.

Qualifications

I want to serve on the Youth Commission in order for the voices of young people are heard and that the gap between the youth and local government is bridged to create a safe space for all ages. I see this as an opportunity to represent the perspective of the youth and advocate for change that'll shape our community to become the best it can be.
I see the primary issue impacting youth in our community is the growing social isolation, a lot of teens would prefer being at home, communicating online, remain in familiar groups of friends, which reduces our chance of making connections. I think there should be more events that encourage teens to step out their comfort zones to meet new people.
I bring real experience with community service as I've volunteered at Doctors Medical Center and have almost 200 hours doing so. I've also worked alongside Martin and Saida, who are on Youth Commission on float projects and the little libraries as well. I created Give 4 Glam which was a multi-school clothing donation drive for Our Lady Haven.

My goal as a student leader is to empower and encourage our youth to get involved within our communities and succeed. It is my mission to encourage young people to get excited about the future. I want our youth to thrive for success and strive to put good out into society.
A major issue that I currently see impacting youth in our communities is the lack of education. Many students that I know lack knowledge about real world issues that are detrimental to the future of our communities. Topics such as climate change need to be addressed and discussed so that we can take action and find ways to help with these issues.
I have served in my school's leadership program for a year and am currently serving as this year's junior vice president. I have experience in community service and volunteering events. I am the president of our environmental club and vice president of our school wide spirit committee. I am very outgoing and am always open to new opinions and ideas
Yes
If selected, I commit to attending all my meetings and serving diligently to represent the youth of Modesto on the Youth Commission.

I want to serve on the Youth Commissions because I have always seen the future of the youth in our community as highly important. Living in Modesto, I have seen many challenges that the youth face every day. Thus, I want to contribute in finding solutions to these challenges to make our community a better place for youth development.
The primary issues currently impacting youth in our community are mental health issues.
Almost every student I have met either in school or outside of school, including myself, have experienced mental health struggles at some point. Not to mention, mental health issues are the leading cause of teen suicide.
I bring strong commitment and dedication to the commission. I am working with Stanislaus Asian-American Community Resources to raise over $10,000 annually for student scholarships. In addition, I’ve been working on a passion project through the same nonprofit that captures and share diverse cultural experiences through the form of interviews.
Yes
If selected, I commit to attending all my meetings and serving diligently to represent the youth of Modesto on the Youth Commission.

In my free time, I enjoy being active, so I do sports like wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu, which mentally relaxes me and gives me a chance to bond with my friends. I also love reading, especially autobiographies (One of my favorites is When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi.) and classic literature.

Serving on the Youth Commission means being part of something I can contribute to and make an impact in my community. Advocacy encourages youth to stand up for what they believe in, and I hope to be part of this initiative by collaborating with established leaders to enhance civic engagement opportunities and improve the quality of life for youth.
One primary issue I have seen is the impact of socioeconomic factors on opportunities. Where a person lives and their economic background greatly influence access to resources, but youth should be given the chance to participate in activities that further their interests. Youth should be encouraged to continue growing, not held back for trying.
I learned about the commission I am applying for through social media, specifically via Instagram on the Modesto Parks & Recreation page.
My strong work ethic, attention to detail, and collaboration are valuable skills I can bring to the commission. My learning experiences from Leadership Academy, StanYEA Advocacy Design Team, PHAST, and legislative ambassador for the American Cancer Society enable me to meaningfully contribute to increasing youth participation in government affairs.

I want to serve on the Youth Commission to have a greater impact within my community. I truly believe that the Youth Commission will allow me to serve and support others while providing an opportunity for personal growth and development. Finally, I want to help make a positive impact on the youth of Modesto and the future of our city.
The primary issues currently impacting youth in our community includes substance abuse, mental health & violence. I think these issues are related as the use of vapes and marijuana is prevalent, ultimately leading to mental health issues. Violence at school is also an issue as students don't know how to deescalate situations without their fists.
Social Media (Instagram) and my friend suggested that I should apply.
I have two years of leadership experience as Class President and Vice president; managing dances and homecomings. I am currently apart of the SCOE Leadership Academy and I believe that I am kind, a good listener, respectful, able to adapt and also resilient.

PUBLIC COMMENT IN PERSON
Ryann Hall, Cal Pride’s Communications Director, urged the Modesto City Council to quickly repeal the Mask Ordinance, calling it unconstitutional, discriminatory, and harmful to free speech. Hall stressed the need for immediate action following the Review Board’s recommendation and reaffirmed Cal Pride’s commitment to accountability and community rights.
Harlan Diven, a Modesto resident and attorney, urged the City Council to repeal the Mask Ordinance, calling it vague, overbroad, and harmful to privacy and First Amendment rights. She highlighted disturbing arrests tied to its enforcement, stressed that the community has consistently opposed the Ordinance for months, and asked the Council to take the Review Board’s recommendation seriously and agendize repeal without delay.
Terhesa Gamboa, chair of Woodland West Community, shared highlights from their recent Family Fun Day, thanking City staff, law enforcement, and Councilmembers for their support. She announced upcoming community meetings about the Mister Car Wash project and a Neighborhood Watch meeting and concluded by voicing support for keeping the mask mandate in place.
Julissa, representing the Central Valley BIPOC Coalition, urged the City Council to repeal the mask Ordinance, calling it outdated, discriminatory, and harmful. She cited abusive arrests of community members, including unhoused youth, and stressed the lasting financial and emotional impacts. She also called for reparative action and asked the Council to follow the Review Board’s recommendation without delay. Cameron Perez, a family medicine resident representing fellow union members, asked the City Council to support fair contract negotiations with VCM. He noted reduced residency slots, poor scheduling practices, and uncompetitive pay that discourage Doctors from staying in Stanislaus County. Perez urged the Council to recognize residents as vital to the community’s healthcare future and to back efforts for safer conditions and stronger retention.
Mary Rodgers, a longtime Modesto resident, urged the City Council to repeal the Mask Ordinance without further surveys, citing the Review Board’s thorough recommendation and months of community input. She argued the Ordinance undermines personal freedoms, criticized enforcement tactics, and stressed the urgency of protecting residents’ rights to dissent and assemble. #12..

Steve expressed his belief that the City Council is not supporting true police accountability, accusing them of protecting systemic violence and disrespecting victims’ families. He voiced his frustration with the Police Chief’s comments at the Community Police Review Board, calling it controlled opposition, and urged the Council to agendize a reexamination of Municipal Code 2302 at the next meeting. Nora Garcia, a downtown Modesto resident, supported repealing the mask ban, rejecting safety concerns raised by the Police Chief. She said protests posed less hardship than City actions and police enforcement and argued that upholding the Ordinance undermines free expression without making downtown safer. She urged the Council to agendize its repeal promptly.
Maria Hernandez, Business and Community Development Manager at Stanislaus Equity Partners, announced a business meeting for owners in the 95351-zip code to discuss workforce needs and support for business growth. The meeting will be held Thursday, October 2nd at 5:30 p.m. at the Self-Help Federal Credit Union, with Spanish-language access provided.
A speaker expressed appreciation for the City Council’s recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month. Using humor, they referenced iconic Latino characters to critique the Modesto anti-mask Ordinance, illustrating how ordinary people lack the means to resist police enforcement and could face arrest for minor actions. Lara, a Modesto resident, called on the City Council to repeal the Mask Ordinance, citing its selective enforcement against marginalized groups and its suppression of free speech, warning that continued inaction undermines public trust. A speaker urged the City Council to repeal the mask mandate, arguing it enables selective targeting of vulnerable groups, ignores the Police Oversight Committee’s unanimous recommendation, and undermines the Council’s accountability to constituents.
Madison Condit urged the City Council to place a repeal of the Mask Ordinance on the October 14th agenda, criticizing the Police Chief’s opposition as a power move and emphasizing that the Community Police Review Board’s recommendation reflects the community’s interests.
Ann Marie, a Modesto resident, demanded that Municipal Code 4.23.02, section 13, be added to the next City Council agenda for repeal, stating that it’s a violation of First Amendment rights and believes its used to target community members at protests. She emphasized the ongoing emotional and practical impact on those affected and urged the Council to act.
Suzanne Gonzalez, a Modesto resident, urged the repeal of the Mask Ordinance, citing racial disparities in police treatment at protests she attended. #12..
