Before we begin, I want to remind the planning commission members and members of the public to follow our code of conduct at meetings.

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

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

All members of the planning commission staff and 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.

We're moving to public comment section.

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

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

Each member of the public may address the commission for up to two minutes.

The commission cannot take any formal action without the item being properly noticed and placed on an agenda.

In response to public comment, 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 place the item on a future agenda.

Staff, do we have any speakers for public comment?

I don't see any.

Thank you.

Okay.

Do we have any deferrals or removals from the calendar?

We do not.

Okay.

Do I need to read that section?

No.

Okay, good.

Um so we're moving on to the consent calendar.

Umtice to the public, there will be no separate discussion of individual consent calendar items 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.

Nope, I don't see any.

Okay.

Commissioners, you've read the items on the agenda.

Are there any that you would like removed from the consent calendar?

Nope.

Okay.

Motion to approve.

Second.

Yay.

Okay, we have a motion and a second to approve the consent calendar.

Uh the do we do we do it as a whole or do we have to do the individual items?

You do it as a whole, but somebody pulled it.

Sorry, this is weird because I have separate.

You probably just want to read the items for the record.

Okay.

Uh so the the first item, I'll I'll just read all of them.

The first item on the uh consent calendar is reviewing and approving the action minutes from the March 25th meeting.

The second item is CP24-026 and ER24-181.

That's the uh conditional use permit to allow construction of a four-story approximately 125,000 square foot mini storage building and two vehicle gates.

Uh, and next one is CP25-012 and ER25-077, which are uh the conditional use permit to allow an existing approximately 107,000 uh square foot building to be converted into a warehouse utilized for electric vehicle passenger vehicle delivery, retail indoor sale of EV passenger vehicles, and uh a service center and some incidental office space.

Um with that I will uh call for a vote.

Um we had can you remind me, uh, Commissioner Bandel, you were the motion and Commissioner Casey, you were the second.

Uh for public hearing.

Uh, there are no items today on the public hearing calendar, so I'm not going to read the blurb about it.

Um, are there any referrals from city council, boards, commissions, or other agencies?

I feel like this might be the shortest meeting in history.

Okay.

Um good and welfare.

A report from the city council?

Yeah.

So we do have a couple things from City Council.

City Council met on March 24th.

They did do a final adoption of ordinance 31316, which was the uh ordinances related to Senate Bill 79, as the city adopted relatively local measures.

Um in addition to that, the city council also adopted the uh audit recommendations that were still existing from previous audits.

In addition, they approved two different ordinances as it relates to residential incentive tax promise for our projects.

Um is for the Bank of Italy development and for the gateway tower.

That was done in one or uh one resolution, I believe.

And then there was another resolution approving one for El Paseo de Saratoga for uh residential tax and fee waivers.

Um in addition to that, uh they adopted the housing catalyst team work plan status.

As you might have noted, this was part of something similar you heard in the February 25th study session.

So council took two actions on that related to the team work plan as well as the annual progress report on the implementation of the housing element.

Okay.

Do we have any subcommittee um reports or outstanding items?

No.

No.

Anything related to study sessions or commission calendar?

Just that the next planning commission is going to occur on the 22nd.

Um and also wanted to note that there is going to be several outreach and open houses for the general plan four-year review being held throughout the city from this month until early next month.

Um in addition to that, the city council will be holding a comprehensive permit study session on April 28th.

Um, in addition to the note, if you guys are interested, City Council will be hearing the Camden Builders Remedy Project also on a on heard on April 28th.

That was the Camden.

That was the Camden project, yes.

Okay, thank you.

Anything for the public record?

Uh I do have a question.

Um the 1295 Gardner Avenue.

Is you have an update on that?

If it got appealed or if it's coming or any kind of update, because we're getting uh several emails on that concern for the people we should know.

Yeah, thank you for asking that because it was on my list too.

For my wage project, that was again.

We got it.

Uh yeah, we did receive an appeal, so it it included an environmental appeal, so it will go to city council directly.

Yep.

It's 12 units, by the way.

That's what you're talking about, right?

The 12 unit development on Kurtner?

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

That's it.

Yep.

Okay.

Any other questions from the commissioner?

642 p.m.

Uh anybody want a motion to adjourn?

Do we need to do that?

Okay.

Who's motioning?

Commissioner Balancing.

So you're absolutely second.

Second, second.

All in favor?

We're done.

All right.

If I had a gavel, I'd smack it, but I don't have that.

So, yeah.
