3:10
I move to approve the agenda as presented.
3:18
All those in favour?
3:26
We will now move on to the public comment.
3:32
Members of the audience may comment on any item not on the agenda that is of interest to the public
3:36
and within the jurisdiction of the Planning Commission.
3:40
The Planning Commission cannot take action on non-agendaised item raised under public comment
3:44
has been specifically included on an agenda as an action item.
3:50
So at this point I open the general public comment opportunity.
3:54
And I note that there is nobody signed up so I will close the public comment opportunity and move on to the consent calendar.
4:04
The consent calendar.
4:06
Do I have a motion to approve the consent calendar items?
4:08
Please, which is the regular meeting of January 16th.
4:12
Chair, I move to approve the minutes of January 16th as prepared.
4:19
It has been moved and seconded. All those in favour?
4:23
Thank you. It has been approved.
4:25
And with that we will move to the public hearing items and will the clerk please call the first hearing item.
4:33
Item by point one is late-range law.
4:41
Tentative map conditions amendment.
4:48
All right. Good evening Chair Senga, members of the Elk Grove City Planning Commission.
4:52
I'm Jason Hone, the Assistant Community Development Director.
4:55
The item before you tonight is a request to amend a condition of approval on a previously approved tentative parcel map.
5:01
The only condition proposed for amendment is condition number 15.
5:05
The amendment will allow the flexibility of the public improvement obligations to be satisfied by a deferred improvement agreement.
5:15
The location is at the southwest corner of camera road and promenade parkway, approximately two tenths of the mile west of highway 99.
5:30
In 2016, a tentative map was approved and condition number 15 allowed for public improvement obligations to be met with a frontage improvement agreement and securities.
5:41
The applicant executed the frontage improvement agreement and posted security and the final map was recorded in December of 2016.
5:51
The current conditions on site is that only one of the four parcels has been developed.
5:56
It was developed with a chevron gas station and convenience store and the frontage improvements along that parcel have been completed consistent with 2008 and 2016 approvals.
6:07
Frontage improvements to the west along camera road remain incomplete and are required to be constructed pursuant to the existing frontage improvement agreement.
6:16
After the improvements at the chevron gas station were accepted by the city, the owner requested termination of the frontage improvement agreement and that a deferred improvement agreement be executed for the undeveloped parcels.
6:28
A deferred improvement agreement authorizes delayed installation of frontage improvements and does not require security until such time that improvement plans are submitted.
6:36
This is consistent with industry standards and practice for commercial development.
6:44
Under a deferred improvement agreement, the improvements that have not constructed would remain in obligation and would be noted on the title of the property.
6:53
The improvements remain in obligation of the 2008 design approvals should the applicant or successor interest proceed or not proceed with that project or those approvals expire.
7:04
New city approvals would be necessary and the city would condition for the improvements with those approvals.
7:10
Furthermore, there are no surrounding developments to the west of chevron that require the presence of these improvements today.
7:16
West of the site is agricultural land outside of the city. This is why staff recommends approval of the amended condition.
7:23
The environmental analysis. In June of 2001, the city council certified in EIR and adopted mitigation monitoring and reporting program for the Lent Ranch Marketplace project.
7:37
This amendment does not change the development envisioned and analyzed under that EIR and will not generate any new environmental effects.
7:45
The certified EIR and adopted MMRP is sufficient and no further environmental review is required pursuant to state sequel guidelines section 15162.
7:55
Additionally, in 2016 when the tentative map was approved, the city planning commission determined that that project was exempt from sequel pursuant to section 15183 for projects consistent with a community plan general plan or zoning.
8:09
The amended condition only concerns the timing and type of agreement for frontage improvements and does not change the intensity or density of development previously found to be exempt under section 15183.
8:23
The recommendation is staff is that the planning commission adopted resolution one finding the project exempt from California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to state sequel guidelines section 15183 and section 15162 and approve an amendment to the conditions of approval for the Lent Ranch lot.
8:41
The plan is that the planning commission approved the plan and the plan is approved by the tentative map based on the findings included in the draft resolution.
8:47
I would like to note that there was supplemental information provided for this item to clarify some language in the resolution.
8:54
So staff recommends the motion shown on screen should the planning commission agree with staff's recommendation.
9:04
And the owner applicant are available. Should you have any questions. Thank you.
9:09
Questions for staff.
9:12
I have one. You mentioned security. When you use the term security, you mean like fencing and what exactly do you mean by security?
9:49
I don't know if questions for staff at this point. I will declare the public hearing open and invite the applicant to speak.
10:06
The applicant is chosen not to speak. So I will open the public comment opportunity.
10:12
I note that there is no one signed up. So to speak, so I close the public comment opportunity.
10:21
And therefore there is no need for the applicant to respond as it is not necessary. And I declare the public hearing closed and we shall move to commission deliberations and action.
10:35
I think that there is no need for the applicant to respond.
10:44
If there is any further deliberation, if not, do we have a motion please.
10:53
Chair singer, I move to adopt a resolution finding the project exempt from sequa pursuant to state sequa guideline section 15183 and section 15162 and improving the lent ranch.
11:03
Based on the findings included in the draft resolution provided in the supplemental information sheet.
11:09
The second motion been moved and seconded all those in favor please signify by saying aye.
11:16
Any opposed to hearing none the motion carries. Thank you.
11:21
What that we will move to item six, which is our regular agenda item.
11:27
The first of which is reorganization of the Elkrop Planning Commission.
11:33
At this point, I believe we need a nomination for the chair of the Planning Commission for 2025. Do I have a person being nominated for this position?
11:45
Chair singer, I'd like to nominate Commissioner Juan Fernandez for chair of the Planning Commission for 2025.
11:52
And as you said right next to me, I will second that.
11:56
All those in favor please signify by saying aye.
12:00
Thank you. The motion carries. We further have to move now to nominate a new vice chair for the Planning Commission to 2025.
12:09
Do we have a nominee for this position?
12:14
Chair singer, I will nominate Verinder Singh for vice chairman of the Planning Commission.
12:23
I have a motion been made. Do I have a second?
12:59
We have one abstention that the record show that and then the motion carries.
13:05
The abstention is the right honorable director O'Conn.
13:11
With that, congratulations to both of you. I will hereby pass on the gavel to my illustrious successor.
13:20
And that's it. Okay. With that, we will move to the director's report.
13:27
Good evening commissioners. So a few items that are on here. I want to highlight for you.
13:33
First up at next week's council meeting, the council is scheduled to approve changes to the municipal code, which will include revisions to your stipend.
13:42
The proposal before them at their direction was to increase the stipend from $75 to $100 per meeting.
13:48
So assuming they approve that formally next week, look forward for that paperwork to get processed in the coming weeks.
13:56
The council undertook that you saw previously. They did approve last week the amendments to the old town SPA for the bars for a reason, wineries after much work by Antonio to get that over the finish line.
14:09
So thank you to staff for that. Also projects you saw previously included the done itch project and the journal plan and municipal code of emits around the floodplain allowances were both approved and fine floodplains been finalized.
14:22
So that's the next goes back for spinal approvals on the consent calendar next week.
14:27
For your meeting in March 6th, we have one development project, the Waterman Brinklin Logistics Center. This is an amendment to a prior approval that items get finalized and printed now.
14:37
The second item and this will be why your packets will delay until early next week. We're just finishing up the last little bits.
14:43
So first of a series of items will have around code amendments over the course of the spring.
14:48
We will be our intent from a staff perspective is to break these up into a couple of meetings to give you a chance with a study session first to review them and then formal action at a following meeting.
14:59
So there's going to be three sets of these. The first will be the Southeast policy area SPA. So you'll get a packet for four year packet for that meeting of the sixth.
15:07
There'll be a simple one page staff report that will sort of introduce the fact that we are proposing a series of amendments.
15:13
You'll get a copy of those amendments and then staff will go through them at the March 6th meeting.
15:17
We will not be asking for direction or action on that item that night. It will not be a public hearing. It will not be noticed as such.
15:25
Instead two weeks later that item will come back as a public hearing with the formal staff report and a resolution for your consideration.
15:33
We're then going to do the same thing on a staggered schedule next with the livable employment area special planning area document.
15:40
That will be a new document that you'll be looking at for the first time, whereas with SEPA are amendments to an existing document.
15:46
So that one will be easier because it's track changes. LEA will be a little bit more involved because it's a full new document for your consideration.
15:52
But again, we will do a study session first followed by a formal public hearing to follow.
15:58
And then later in the spring, it's not on the list yet. We're still trying to fine tune the last little bits of it are a whole host of changes in the municipal code.
16:07
We've got a lot we've been working on for really the past 18 to 24 months and it's gone through a couple different hands of staff to get over the finish line.
16:14
I'm happy to say we are very close here. You're going to see changes primarily around titles 22 and 23.
16:20
Of course, you know, it's a zoning code 22 is the land division side. And so again, we will do a staggered review of that with a study session hearing to follow any questions about that at this point.
16:32
Do you have an estimate for when that LEA study session might happen?
16:38
So we are targeting the March 20, 20th. Yeah. So 30 days from today would be the study session for LEA.
16:45
And then that April 6 meeting, I think it is would be the hearing for that one.
16:51
Yeah. Our goal with ZIPA and LEA is for them to eventually marry back up together at council hearings in May for first read of the first council meeting in May.
17:02
And then we will have a second meeting in May affected by the end of June. And so we're staggering them for your benefit to get through the review.
17:09
But we think it'll work. It'll be a little weird and different. But so far Chelsea's not freaking out too much. She's going along with the flow and I appreciate it.
17:18
So, the only minister and I would certainly have one coming up for April on reasonable accommodation. I believe for garage on the Bina Creek Drive.
18:18
A lot of people have been have talked to me a very thankful for so appreciate that. And again, the staff reports have really been excellent. I mean, all through this year. So, my thanks to the hard work you all put in. I know you don't we don't get around saying that very frequently, but thank you for all what you do.
19:06
But that's a different story, which I want to worry about. So thank you all. And with that given that there are no further items, I am going to turn this meeting at 618. Thank you.
