Planning commission is now in session.

We're going to start off with legal of the minutes from February 2nd, 2024.

Do I have a motion to approve the minutes?

So moved.

Moved by Commissioner Holtz.

Do I have a second?

Second.

Commissioner by seconded by Commissioner Sayed.

We'll now take a vote.

All those in favor.

All those opposed.

All right.

So the minutes passed.

And then next up is the chair's announcements.

Just a couple of quick reminders.

Reminder number one, we record these meetings and the recording usually starts right before I start talking.

So just I think it can sometimes be easy to forget that the owl is in the middle of the room.

So just a friendly reminder that we record these meetings and that the recording is has started.

Nothing has happened that makes me make that reminder.

Just that for my own edification, I wanted to know what time we start recording and what time the recording is on.

So a note for everybody that that's when the recording starts.

Second note is last night there was a going away happy hour for the former chair, Chair Ringle Morales at Pemento.

And I think we saw you know a good showing from the planning commission there.

And he got a plaque, a laser engraved plaque, and a letter from the mayor.

And everyone, you know, got to say uh goodbye and congratulations for him in his new um down in Hastings and his life in what seems like a civil war cabin.

I don't think it's actually that, but uh he's learning about burning wood and some other fun thing, which I think was you know fun to hear.

Um and we also got to see pictures of the baby who looks uh lovely and healthy and happy.

So I think everyone's just very excited for him and sort of his new phase of life.

Um and then uh my last note here is for folks on the steering committee.

We're just gonna meet briefly um at the end of this meeting.

It will not be a long, a long steering committee meeting, but we haven't gotten together in a while.

Um so Louise and I thought it would be a good opportunity to sort of bring bring the band back together uh as it were.

And then uh you'll also note that Luis is not out here today.

Um and so we have the ASMA problem here in his place.

So she will be providing the planning director.

Thank you, Chair.

Um, just a couple of quick items that I've gotten from Luis.

First is that there are some state legislative proposals that have been um released to us um I think yesterday.

So I think Luis is looking at them probably as we speak.

Um and so he'll be getting more information to you about how we will be um aligning or not with some of those.

Um so stay tuned on some of those.

It's always exciting.

Um gets to those answers of uh legislative items.

Um second is um that we had a good showing of staff at the Capitol Mall Design Framework charettes that uh went on last week.

Uh we had uh Tony, Nelly, Chris, Spencer, Alison from the HPC.

There was people from public works, parks.

So we had a um good planning uh showing as well as other departments of the city.

Um they came up with a list of 10 uh 10 projects, um, several several that uh include street design around the capital.

So I think we'll be seeing more um more of that in the future as well.

And we'll keep you up to date on the names there and if there's any opportunities um for the commission or for the public to weigh in after the charite.

So all right, great.

Um well, we're gonna move on to zoning committee.

Um so uh commissioner Taggia, you it looks like you have one item 475 chatbirds re-establishment of non-conforming use.

That's correct.

So any committee I need to find exactly what our action was.

Second.

So yeah, so this came back to the old business.

Um, and it was for a um an ultimate repair.

So it had been uses ultimately repair, and they want to bring it back into use to be vacant, but just think little more than the year had to have to come for um back to zoning committee.

Uh it had come the last meeting, and we had wanted to to see them update some of the conditions, um, which were kind of pretty minor things in terms of just you know, like re redoing offense and that kind of stuff, um, and as operation, things like that.
