I'd like to ask the interpreter currently on the translation channel to commence interpretation of the meeting.

For those joining the meeting, live interpretation in Mandarin is available in person and virtually.

Members of the public or staff who are on Zoom wishing to listen to Mandarin can join the interpretation channel by clicking on the interpretation icon in the Zoom toolbar.

It looks like a globe.

If you are on your cell phone or tablet, locate the three dots, tap them lightly, and put a check mark on your preferred language.

Click Done to activate and begin the interpretation.

Once you join the interpretation channel, we recommend you shut off the main audio so you only hear the Mandarin interpretation.

Those who are in the chamber and wish to hear Mandarin interpretation, please take a receiver from the back of the room and turn it to Channel Two.

Interpreter, will you please restate this in Mandarin?

Thank you so much.

If we could have roll call, please.

Thank you, Chair.

Let the record reflect that all commissioners are present with the exception of Commissioner Pardot and Commissioner Sanders.

Thank you.

We'll move on to item two, remote participation, of which we have none.

We have no minutes to approve.

Our first public comment period is on non-agenda matters.

And these time is reserved for anyone who would like to make comments on items that are not on the agenda.

If you are in the chambers and wish to make a comment, please make your way to one of the podiums and state your name for the record, and you'll have three minutes.

Now is the time.

Seeing no one rise, we'll go ahead and close that public comment period.

And uh I will read our statement of purpose.

We are charged with carrying out the California planning and zoning laws in the city of Santa Rosa.

Duties include implementation of plans, ordinances, and policies relating to land use matters, assisting in writing and implementing the general plan and area plans, holding public hearings, and acting on proposed changes to the zoning code, zoning map, general plan, tentative subdivision maps, and undertaking special planning studies as needed.

And before we proceed, I'd like to briefly go over the Brown Act meeting procedures.

As the item is introduced, the public will have an opportunity to speak during the public comment or public hearing portion for that item.

Each speaker may comment once per item for up to three minutes.

During the public comment period, the commissioners do not engage in back and forth discussion with the speakers.

After everyone who wishes to speak has had an opportunity to do so, I'll go ahead and close the public comment period for that item.

Once the public comment period is closed, there will not be another opportunity for comments or questions from the public on that same item.

Any further discussions or deliberation will be limited to the commissioners, staff, and project applicants.

So will that with that I'll go to Commissioner Reports.

Are there any commissioner reports?

Okay.

Seeing none, uh, we don't have any under other today.

Uh department report, Ms.

Jones.

Thank you,

Chair Weeks, and good afternoon, Commissioners.

Um, I do not have anything for today.

Thank you.

Okay, we moving on to statements of abstention or recusal.

We have, I don't believe we have any abstentions or recusals.

Uh we have no presentations, no consent items, no report items.

The first public hearing that was posted is the Santa Rosa City Hall Development Agreement drafts supplemental environment environmental impact report, which I mentioned is being continued to November twelfth.

And the next item, 11.2 public hearing quick service drive-through restaurant, and that item is being continued to December 10th.

So we'll go ahead and move on to our one item tonight, 11.3 public hearing massage establishment certificate denial.

This is an ex parte item, so we'll start with Commissioner Horton.
