The meeting was called to order by Chair David Diaz and adjourned at 12:16 PM. The Commission elected new officers, heard public hearings on a parking-in-common masterplan amendment, a major General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Planned Development (PD) Rezone for 1850 Bahama Avenue, and approved two city code text amendments. Eight members were present; one was absent.
In zoning commission for July 17th. Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance. And to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under Justice Coral. Ms. Hannigan, please call the roll. Commissioner Susanna Ballard. Present. Commissioner Joan DeZero. Commissioner Paul Lair. Sure. Commissioner Tiffany Wilson. Here. Commissioner JP Thornton. Commissioner Lonnie Stevenson. Commissioner Jim Harris. Here. Vice Chair Gabriel Medley. Commissioner David Diaz. Here. And Commissioner Mary Costa. All right, thank you. Seeing that we need a alternate to please come up to the diasp, Mr. Stevenson. Would you please come up and sign in? Mr. Gilbert, correspondence and announcements, please. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Um the only uh correspondence I have an announcements I have for tonight or today is the action by the uh city council on July 9th. The 100 inlet drive minor general plan amendment was approved by the City Council, and the development code text amendments removing uh maximum lot coverage in residential zones throughout the city. That was removed as well. So uh there's a 30-day waiting period before that takes effect, but that's going to benefit a lot of uh uh single family, mostly single family property owners as they try to add accessory buildings additions to their properties by using setbacks to maintain open space instead of a 50 percent lock coverage requirement, or in some cases slightly higher. Um the next uh item, Mr. Chairman. If I may, it's the it's the that time of the year when the uh chairman and vice chairman are elected for the planning commission in July. So um the chair and vice chair are chosen by the commission, and uh thank you, Chairman Diaz and Vice Chair Medley for serving as the chair and vice chair over the past year. The selections will be done as two separate items today. The commission will begin by selecting the chair first with the following process. The chair will ask for nominees. Let's see, is this the updated one? Okay, the chair will ask for nominees. A member may make a motion to nominate a member for chair. Um the the idea here is to get the nominations first onto the floor. Uh so if there's gonna be multiple nominees, the those can all be nominated. And uh the chair will ask for nominees board members who will provide nominations. Once nominations are complete, a member may make a motion to nominate a member for chair. Only one motion can be active at a time. A second will be required. If the motion is not seconded, the motion fails, and another motion can be made.
