Good evening, and thank you for joining our September 15th, 2026 regular planning commission meeting. As a reminder, items will be taken in the order that they are listed on the agenda. Before we start, I'd like to go over briefly our public comment procedures for the meeting and for those who may be joining us for the first time. Public comments on the approval of minutes, consent items, matters of commission interest, and items not on the agenda will be taken during item number three during this evening's agenda. Comments on other agenda items will be taken only when that item is called. In-person speakers will be called first, followed by virtual attendees. In-person speakers, please fill out your speaker's card located in front of council chambers and bring it to staff. That would be over here to your left. Those journal joining virtually, please use the raise your hand feature on Zoom to speak. If you're joining via teleconference by phone, you may raise your hand by dialing star nine and star six to unmute your microphone when prompted. Please only raise your hand at the time when the item that you are speaking on has been called. Each speaker is allotted three minutes by that time. But that time may be adjusted depending on the number of speakers that we have. For in-person speakers, there is a light on the podium to let you know how much time you have left and a buzzer when the time is up. For virtual speakers, the time will show on the screen. Lastly, we know that each person brings different perspectives to the discussion, and we want to be sure everyone has a chance to be heard without interruption. Planning Commission welcomes comments on items within our purview. Any speaker whose comments are not on topic under the Commission's purview will be warned and then removed if necessary. Thank you for your attention and consideration during this process. Here Commissioner Cornejo here. Here. Commissioner Robinson. Here. And Chair Koch. Here. Um I am Sue Xline. I am the assistant community development director and liaison to the Commission. Other staff in attendance are Eleanor Ignacio, our assistant city attorney, and I just wanted to let everyone know she is the attorney that is now sitting in this chair permanently, so we're very excited to have her as part of the team. Jeff Schwab is our community development director. He'll be here this evening. We do not thank you. If you've logged in via Zoom through your computer, please click the raised hand button now. If you've dialed in, please enter star nine and star six to unmute your microphone when prompted. If you have dialed in, you may begin speaking once you are called on. In order to see how many speakers we have for general public comment, I ask everyone who wishes to speak on an item not on the agenda. Please complete your speaker's card or raise your hand on Zoom now. There are no comments. So if there's no objection, I'll close public comment period. Next item on the agenda is the approval of the minutes from the August 18th, 2026 special meeting. Is there a motion to approve draft minutes of August 18th, 2026? So moved. I'll second that.
