Ex Parte Process Reminder:
The action before the Commission is a quasi-judicial decision, rather than the legislative matters the Commission typically considers. In this role, Commissioners must base their decision on the record, applicable ordinance standards, and evidence presented through the public process. Commissioners are encouraged to avoid ex parte communications-direct discussions with the applicant or interested parties outside of the public meeting-as outlined in the Council Policy 1.10 Ex Parte Communications. If such communications do occur, they should be disclosed on record at the meeting. Maintaining this approach helps ensure fairness, transparency, and the legal defensibility of the Commission’s decision.
