How do we give us a hug Erica, would you please do a roll call and uh announce present staff and instruct viewers on how they can participate?

Certainly uh today we have Chair Silva here, Vice Chair Latassa, Commissioner Bluth, Commissioner Freeman, Commissioner Palmer, and Commissioner Stoker.

I'd like to note that Commissioner Pauli's absent today.

Our staff members present, our planning manager Levi Hill, Principal Planner Fernando Roveri, Principal Planner Christy Sabdo, Senior Associate Planner Chris Schmidt, and myself, recording secretary Erica Brerek.

Information on participating in this meeting and providing public comment, including remotely by Zoom or telephone is on this meeting's agenda, which is online at Monterey.gov forward slash agendas.

Remote commenters will be muted until their turn to speak, and a timer will be shown on the screen.

If you're connected on Zoom, the timer is accurate with no delay.

In the chamber, we recommend keeping phones and devices muted to prevent audio interference with the meeting.

Thank you for participating in your city government.

Thank you, Erica.

Um we'll uh start with the uh consent agenda.

Levi, um point of order.

Should I split up number two uh from three and four?

Um I think uh it would probably be the easiest to ask if there's any members of the commission or members of the public that would like to pull one of the items from consent, since we're starting all items on consent.

Uh if someone requests to have one pulled, then yes, it would make sense to take those votes separately.

Is there anybody uh in chambers that would like to pull one of these items?

Seeing nobody online, there are no attendees online.

Any commissioners, very well.

Um the additions to work one.

I would like to as well, actually.

So maybe we can um pull item number four and have a presentation, but before we do that, let's um uh take a uh a vote on items two and three.

Um and just to go ahead and go back out uh for public comment, just uh another opportunity to see if we have any members of the public that would like to speak on the consent agenda uh consent agenda items.

Um that would be the minutes, item number two and item number three uh recommendation for the city council that the fiscal year twenty-five twenty-six NCIP programs consistent with the general plan and all adopted uh city plans.

I I thought I done or I did that.

You did, but now that we've adjusted what the consent agenda is.

Very technical.

Don't want to have to come back through this.

Okay.

So let's let's uh um reset this.

So if there's anybody in chambers or online that would like to uh speak before the commission on well, any of these items, you may do so.

Anyone online?

There are no attendees online.

Okay, very well.

Um let's uh take this back to the commission.

And I agree, and maybe we can get a a motion in a second.

But if we move for approval on the consent agenda uh for item number two, the approval of minutes and item number three, the fiscal year NCIP.

But before we do that, should we get a motion in a second just to pull the the uh item number four off?

I was doing the opposite or was just moving to approve those two items.

Yeah, we don't need a motion to pull the item, um so that is a proper motion.

Can I get a roll call, please?

Sure.

Chair Silva.

Yes.

Vice Chair Bluth.

Yes.

Commissioner Freeman.

Yes.

Commissioner Latassa.

Yes.

Commissioner Palmer?

Yes.

And Commissioner Stoker.

Yes.

Okay, those items have been approved thank you erica now we will um pay our uh attention to item number four um 30 wharf number one ARC um uh permit application a uh ARP-25-0222 for exterior alterations to an existing commercial building applicant Josephine Tusella 30 fisherman's wharf LLC San Pedro Fish Market Owner City of Monterey Public Institutional General Plan Designation exempt from CEQA Chris Thank you Chair Silva Planning Commission uh my name is Chris Schmidt I'm a senior associate planner for the city and I've been working with the city staff and uh project applicant as well as the project architect on this project so uh what the recommendation here is today is for the planning commission to adopt a resolution approving the architectural review permit for improvements at 30 wharf number one just a bit of background information so here's the site um so the wharf itself is all uh kind of one lot here uh and as you could see here I've highlighted uh 30 wharf which is the building uh in question today um this site has a public slash institutional general plan designation in the case of the wharf it's very much visitor serving uh reflecting that public designation um so the site uh contains 30 wharf is a two-story commercial restaurant structure it was previously occupied by a restaurant called scales skills has been closed for many years now uh it's closure preceded the 2020 pandemic uh and it has been vacant since um the site the the building itself has about 17,500 square feet mainly uh most of that allocated at the first floor at about 11,800 and the second floor at 5,000 about 5,700 square feet and then there's a 2000 square foot second level deck at the rear.

So the project uh involves tenant improvements and modifications uh which include uh a full interior renovation of both floors as well as the deck uh new storefront glazing and doors along the wharf front edge the the central walkway uh replacement roofing uh new rooftop mechanical uh systems and screening replacement of an existing interior stair a new elevator uh seismic upgrades uh and various uh new you know new paint and and other exterior changes uh the project does not involve uh any sort of expansion of the building's floor area although there are some increases in height associated with those new roof rooftop mechanical systems and screens so here we see a site plan of 30 fisherman's wharf uh and just to highlight this is basically the wharf level uh and there is existing coastal access that goes adjacent to the building underneath the second story deck which is kind of along this access corridor here and so looking at the first floor plan showing those these improvements that are proposed today uh we're seeing improvements for the retail fish market and storefront which are going to occur kind of in this upper side of the plan here uh new dining seating and uh bars which you can see throughout the floor and the bar here there we go uh as well as back fouse improvements and then at the second floor, again, more dining uh and then you can see that outdoor seating area that I mentioned here.

So moving on to the elevations to start the front elevation.

This is uh what would be visible from the walkway of the wharf.

And you can see I've just highlighted here uh the the main improvements, as I mentioned, are these new storefront windows and doors.

There would be a new paint scheme.

It's kind of an off-white and white scheme with uh that would contrast with the black proposed black storefront glazing.
