3:13

Sure, sure.

3:15

So item number two on the consent calendar this evening is a receive and file item.

3:20

Uh earlier this year in September, the governor signed uh AB 361 into law.

3:26

It allows local agencies like the City of Sacramento to hold public meetings via virtual teleconference, like we're doing right now under certain circumstances.

3:35

For example, when there's a proclaimed state of emergency or when officials have imposed or recommended social distancing measures.

3:44

So on October 12th, uh just this last month, City Council passed a motion determining that council and all of its boards and commissions should continue to meet via teleconference because those special circumstances exist at this time.

3:59

So this item's on the agenda to inform the commission that the council's action to continue to meet virtually applies to the planning and design commission until council determines otherwise.

4:10

So council will need to reaffirm this determination every 30 days.

4:15

So that's basically what the item is about.

4:19

Thank you very much, Station.

Summary of Proceedings

Planning and Design Commission Meeting of November 29, 2021

The City of Sacramento Planning and Design Commission met via teleconference on Monday, November 29, 2021, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The commission considered a consent calendar and discussed the 2022 Planning and Zoning Work Program. Chair Messias Reid was absent; Vice Chair Hernandez presided.

Consent Calendar

  • Item 1: Approval of meeting minutes from October 28, 2021. Motion passed with two abstentions: Commissioner Ogilvie abstained (had not attended the October meeting) and Vice Chair Hernandez also abstained (was absent).
  • Item 2: Receive and file report on Teleconferencing Meetings During the COVID-19 State of Emergency (AB 361). Staff explained the City Council’s October 12 decision to continue virtual meetings.
  • Item 3: Director’s Report (oral) – receive and file. No items were presented.
  • The consent calendar was approved as a whole with the listed abstentions.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • There were no public comments on any agenda item or on matters not on the agenda. No e-comments were submitted.

Discussion Items

  • Item 4: 2022 Planning and Zoning Work Program – Planning Director Greg Sandlund presented the draft work program. He noted that commissioner comments from the September 23 meeting (focusing on climate adaptation, on-site parking efficiency, and ADU technical assistance) were complementary and did not require modification to the program. The recommendation was to forward the program to the City Council.
    • Commissioner Chase asked about the hours associated with the highest-priority item from the 2021 work program (working with the MASSP siting plan). Sandlund clarified that the 2021 work program is already being implemented.
    • Commissioner Wallace, who noted she had missed the prior meeting due to a breakthrough COVID-19 case, inquired about elevating a potential future initiative regarding an entertainment overlay with sound attenuation standards. Sandlund agreed to begin scoping that work in 2022 but cautioned that completion by year-end would depend on resources.
    • Commissioner Chase also asked about continuation of planning involvement in homelessness initiatives. Sandlund stated planning’s role is currently limited, but cited a forthcoming application for Joshua’s House (hospice for homeless individuals).

Key Outcomes

  • Vote on Item 4: Commissioner Wallace moved to approve the staff recommendation and forward the 2022 Planning and Zoning Work Program to the City Council; Commissioner Coville seconded. The motion passed unanimously (all ayes).
  • The consent calendar was adopted with the noted abstentions.
  • Meeting was adjourned after public comments on matters not on the agenda (none were offered). The vice chair noted the meeting was the fastest on record.
