This includes commenting on the specific agenda item only and addressing the full body.

Public speakers will not engage in conversation with the commissioners or staff.

All members of the planning commission, staff, and the public are expected to refrain from abusive language.

Repeated failure to comply with the code of conduct, which will disturb, disrupt, or impede the orderly conduct of this meeting may result in removal from the meeting.

This meeting of the planning commission will now come to order.

Summary of hearing procedures.

Leave it with the person in the back.

We make up to a five-minute presentation.

During the public comment period, the chair will call out the names on the submitted speaker cards and the order received for those members of the public who attend in person.

As your name is called, line up in front of the microphone at the front over there in the uh in front of the chairs.

Generally, each speaker will be given up to two minutes for public testimony, and speakers using a translator will have up to four minutes.

After public testimony, the applicant andor appellant may make closing remarks for an additional five minutes.

Response to commissioner questions will not reduce speakers' time allowance.

The public hearing will then be closed, and the planning commission will take action on the item.

The planning commission may request staff to respond to public testimony, ask staff questions, and discuss the item.

If you challenge these land use decisions in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing or in written correspondence delivered to the city at or prior to the public hearing.

Public comment.

Public comments to the planning commission on non-agendized items.

Please fill out a speaker's card and give it to the technician.

Each member of the public may address the planning commission is limited to the following options.

Responding to statements made or questions posed by members of the public, or requesting staff to report back on a matter at a subsequent meeting, or directing staff to have to place the item on a future agenda.

Do we have any public speakers for public comment for items not on the planning commission's agenda?

I see none.

We will go to agenda item four deferrals and removals from the calendar.

Any items scheduled for this hearing for which referral is being requested or taken out of order will be heard first on the matter of referral or removal.

Staff will provide an update on the items for which referral or removal is being requested.

If you want to change any of the deferral dates recommended or speak to the question of deferring or removing any of these items, you should say so at this time.

Do we have any deferrals or removals from the calendar?

It does not look like it.

So moving on to item number five, the consent calendar.

For the public, there will be no separate discussion of individual consent calendar items as they are to be considered to be as they are considered to be routine and will be adopted by one motion.

If a member of the commission requests debate, separate vote or recusal on a particular item, that item may be removed from the consent calendar by the chair and considered separately.

The public may comment on the entire consent calendar and any items removed from the consent calendar by the chair.

Staff will provide an update on the consent calendar.

If you wish to speak on one of these items individually, please come to the podium at this time.

Are there any members that current are there any public speakers on items currently on the consent calendar?

Motion to approve the consent calendar.

We do have an amendment that needs to be made before.

This is for item 5.

CP25-029.

Can I exclude that item from the emotion then?

So motion of items A, B, and D.

We can make the amendment without removing it from the consent.

Okay.

So do you need to explain the so this is a minor text change to condition number five of the permit of the proposed permit?

Um, I'll share the text change on the screen so everyone can see it.

So the text change is to just clarify that any consumption of alcohol within the premises shall be in conformance with the permittees ABC licenses and no other consumption, or open alcoholic beverages will be permitted on the premises.

And the reason for this text change is so that um samples at the supermarket can be made if if the situation calls for it.

That's all.

This is a supermarket within them all.

Uh yes, within within um 1600 Saratoga Avenue, more commonly known as Westgate Center.

Okay.

You can make your same motion.

Motion approve the consent calendar.

Same second.

Same second.

All right.

Do we have any comment discussion from the commissioners?

Seeing none, we will take a roll call vote on the consent calendar.

The consent calendar.

The motion to approve the consent calendar carries.

Moving on to agenda item number six, the public hearing.

Generally public hearing items are considered by the planning commission in the order in which they appear on the agenda agenda.

However, please be advised that the commission may take items out of order to accommodate significant public testimony or defer discussion of items to later agendas for public hearing.

Time management purposes.

It appears that we have no items uh tonight for public hearing.

Is that correct?

No.

Seeing that we have no items, we will move on to agenda item number seven, referrals from City Council Boards, Commissions, or other agencies.

No referrals.

Seeing that there are no referrals, we will move on to agenda item eight, the good and welfare.

Is there a report from the city council?

Yes, Chair, thank you.

Um we have a few updates.

So the February 10th City Council meeting, the City Council heard and approved two items of note.

The first one was a public hearing on the 2026 weed abatement commencement report.

Um, and the second one was an administrative hearing on the appeal of planning commission's denial of a condition to use permit located at 1692 story road.

Um the city council approved the denial, the continued denial of the project for that um that CUP.

And then on February 24th, uh yesterday, we had uh two items as well.

One um administrative hearing appeal on the planning director's approval and environmental appeal of a site development permit located at two three three four Lundy Avenue.

The City Council approved the um the site development permit and environmental appeal, so the environmental review, so the appeal was denied.

That project will move forward.

And the second project was another appeal of the planning director's approval and plan development permit amendment for a project at one one two three Coleman Avenue, also known as PayPal Park.

And that appeal was denied, so the project would be able to move forward.

That was the concert, right?

Yes.

If that's it for good and welfare, then we can move to adjourn.

Oh, I just wanted to add um for the commission calendar and study sessions.

We talked about this earlier, but just a reminder next week is the next uh general plan for your review task force meeting.

So we'll be here again March 4th at 6 30 to talk about missing middle housing.

That's it.

Well, we need to extend the length of that one.

Um I think we have a good amount of time for public comment, but it is it's it's a good memorandum.

Um, we'll be hopefully be ready for your questions.

Um it may go over, I think, especially if we get a lot more people in attendance.

And will there be an opportunity to see the slides in advance?

Um the team is working on the slides.

I want to say they want to post them on Friday.

Um, the memorandum should be posted tomorrow, and we'll send the link to the task force.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I anticipate a lot for missing middle, but we'll see.

Um, and then anything from the commissioners for but the public record?

Seeing none.

This meeting of the planning commission is adjourned at 7 15 p.m.
