And to the public stands.

Okay.

So moving through the agenda.

Um we don't have a consent calendar, I don't believe.

We didn't bring back those minutes.

Okay.

And that, and so are there any public comments?

So no public comments, Chair.

Okay.

Thank you.

Um public hearings.

It's item number five on the agenda, public hearings and environmental assessments.

Um I don't see any public hearings tonight.

So and there's no environmental assessments.

I could make some, but I won't.

Um item six is new business, and there's none of that, and there's no unfinished business.

And so we're gonna move to item eight reports, communications, and informational items.

And let's 8.1, which is um PA 2208-24 planning commission study session number two on overhaul of Title 16 of the Stockton Municipal Code and the citywide design guidelines.

It's uh just a recommended recommendation that the planning commission received this report presentation from city staff.

So really we're not taking any official actions, we're just listening to a presentation and providing feedback as a commission to the staff, and then at later date things will come back and we'll go from there.

So let's have staff present.

All right, so chair, I would I what just wanted to speak before I um have staff uh take this over and do the presentation.

You've already picked up some of the information.

I just wanted to reiterate.

Um, as most of you know, you've you've we we did have a prior study session on the development code predominantly, and we also talked about design uh as well in that conversation.

It was a kickoff necessarily, or it was a kickoff really for the planning commission as far as to start becoming engaged in the overall effort here.

Um we've as indicated in the staff report, we've uh rebranded this whole effort because there's so many things going on with the development code update, the design standards, we've got a housing action plan going on.

There's a lot of things going on at once, so it's being rebranded to shape Stockton.

So if you'll hear it tonight as far as more specifics on it, but we're trying to really help the public understand, you know, all these efforts rather than this thing going on over there and this going on here.

So that's the whole purpose of the rebranding.

And then uh with regards to the development code, Matt will touch base uh with you on that, just a little bit just to tell you what's going on thus far.

Uh work we're having a lot of outreach going on amongst the community at pop-up events and um workshops uh in the community, and we certainly wish to have you as commissioners wherever whoever you talk to, you can pass the word along.

We're really trying to get word out so we get more attendance even at this meeting, as far as to have people in the as we discussed inside this chambers during this meeting, because this is open to everybody.

How was this published tonight?

Because there's nobody here.

So anyway, I'll let uh staff in the in the presentation mention that as far as how it was um noticed for the folks that we've were having this meeting, and then again pass the word along.

So uh we've got uh we're building up our website with regards to all the information on upcoming you know meetings and workshops and materials that are available for people to review.

And we also have Martha Miller from Miller and Associates who's going to be doing the heavy lift on design, because this is an area that's her real area of expertise, particularly on design.

So we're looking for your feedback for sure tonight.

But this won't be the end all for feedback.

We're looking for the public, you know, comments beyond this meeting, but we certainly want to start engaging the planning commission because ultimately this will come back, as you guys know.

It'll go through the planning commission to council.
