The Davis Planning Commission met on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 7:00 PM in Community Chambers. The meeting included approval of previous minutes, a public hearing for a Starbucks Conditional Use Permit and Design Review at 4525 Fermi Place, and a detailed review of the Commission’s initiated task list. Key outcomes included unanimous approval of the Starbucks project with an added condition for a signal timing study, and prioritization of several tasks for future council consideration.
Yeah. So it's seven o'clock. I think uh we're all in our places. So we can start the uh meeting, the public hearing. Um I see that all the commissioners are here except for Michelle Weiss, who's having fun somewhere, I guess. Um Pardon me. Oh okay. Uh so first order of business uh is to approve the agenda. Anyone want to make a motion for that? All in favor? Aye. Aye, great. Um, so we're now to brief announcements. Shall we start with the council liaison? Linda? We're glad to hear that. Dara? Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Good evening, everyone. Dara Dunworth, Principal Planner. Um I would like to ask the commission's pleasure on this. I can give several project updates now as brief announcements, or we could defer those until we talk about the long range calendar, but these are project updates, it's not really calendaring. So didn't know if you want to take some time now for some project updates or do it later. Sure, now it'd be fine. Okay, great. Well, um, the first project that I want to give you an update on is the um vault food trailers, the permanent C UP that you all um reviewed uh earlier this year. Um they are currently working with their contractor to get it scheduled. Um as you may remember, they have until July 31st under their improvement agreement to complete that sidewalk work. And so we believe given the timing at the end of May, they've got plenty of time to get that two or three day job done. So we'll keep you apprised of that as we have meetings in the next couple of months. Um if you I don't know how much everyone uh is able to pay attention to what's going on at City Council, but City Council recently um directed staff to create a facade grant improvement program. Um it's CDBG funded. There's a hundred thousand dollars in it at least to start. And um Thomas and Katie Ansi have been working on that. And um we actually I think we launched it last week, and we have two applications already. So we're just just got them and we're just starting to process those. So um, but we feel like that's pretty good initial response, and I imagine we'll keep doing some marketing if if we still have money left after a few months, we'll make sure we get the word out to everyone. So that's just getting going. Um an update on Palomino I may be the only one, but facade for what businesses? Yeah, sorry, for commercial, yeah, for commercial businesses. Um those that are in the um Davis Opportunity Zone for basically facade improvements or enhancements. Um the program materials are on um the city's website under economic development pages. I yeah, so welcome to to check that out. If and if you have any other questions, either I or Thomas or Katie could um answer any questions for you offline. Palomino Place is working on maps, working on improvement plans. Um so that's they are actively moving forward. Uh poll the poll line uh subdivision map has recorded, that's so that's good news. Um that project is moving forward. An update on Child's Ranch.
