The Santa Rosa Planning Commission held a regular meeting on February 22, 2024, at 4:31 PM in the Council Chamber. The meeting focused on a public hearing for a proposed zoning text amendment to establish standards for wayfinding signs. The commission unanimously voted to recommend that the City Council adopt the amendment. No public comments were made in person.
Hello. Mine works. Hello. Hello. I think so. The combination of that and my hearing aids. Okay, so with that, um, it's a little after 4 30, and we'll go ahead and call the planning commission of February twenty second, twenty twenty-four, uh to order, and can you please call the roll? Thank you, Chair Weeks. Uh Commissioner Carter is absent. Commissioner Sisko. Here. Commissioner Sanders. Present. Commissioner Peterson. Present. Commissioner Holton. Here. Vice Chair Dugan is absent and Chair Weeks. Here. I let the record reflect that all commissioners are present with the exception of Commissioner Carter and Vice Chair Dugan absent. Great, thank you. Uh so with that approval of minutes, uh item two point one. Uh we have one set of minutes from January eleventh. Are there any changes? Okay, seeing none, those will stand as approved. Um there's nobody in the chamber, so I my assumption do we still need to go through the process of saying is there anybody in the chamber for public comments? I'm sorry. Yes. Okay. If you are in the chamber and wish to make a comment, please make your way to the podium. You will have three minutes. Okay. Seeing no one, we'll go ahead and um close this item and go down to public comment. Um we're now taking public comments on item three, not agenda matters. This is the time uh you may address the commission on matters not listed on this agenda but are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission. So seeing nobody go to the podium, we'll go ahead and close the public comment. So with that, um I'll read our statement of purpose. The planning commission is charged with carrying out the California planning and zoning laws in the city of Santa Rosa. Duties include implementing of plans, ordinances and policies relating to land use matters, assisting in writing and implementing the general plan, area and area plans, holding public hearings and acting on proposed changes to the zoning code, zoning map, general plan, tentative map, tentative subdivision maps, and undertaking special planning studies as needed. Um so four point two commissioner reports. Are there any reports by commissioners? Uh only to say that we're pretty excited that we have one extra day of black history months this month because of leapy or so. Um I have a couple things. Uh I attended the council goal setting a couple of weeks ago, and um since m the majority of it was done in closed setting, I don't have um anything to report, but hopefully there will be some information coming out that we can pass on. Um today I attended the mayor and board chair lunch with a variety of different other board chairs. And um I just wanted to mention that I am the representative from the commission to the memorial hospital neighborhood meetings. They meet once a quarter with the neighbors regarding the uh helicopter and the uh new application or revised application to the uh county on that. So with that. Do we have any public comments on item 4.2? If you are in the chambers and wish to make a comment, please make your way to the podium.
