Uh the first order of business is approval of the minutes from September 13th, 2024 planning commission meeting.

Is there any discussion on the motion?

All right, seeing none, we'll vote.

All those in favor?

All those opposed.

All right.

The motion passes.

The next step is chair's announcements.

Um nothing from me this week.

I will pass it to the director for the planning director now.

Good morning, everybody.

Um just wanted to give a quick recap on the uh planning conference that was in Bloomington.

Uh it was a really interesting uh group of sessions.

Um and uh Tony Johnson presented um with uh a panel of other uh planners from other cities about cannabis zoning and it was really interesting conversations.

So um just wanted to let you know that rate time was had by all and um I think that there will be more um APA events coming up.

So I'll let you know about those in case you're interested.

All right, thank you.

Uh the next item on the agenda is the zoning committee.

Um I'm gonna look at both Commissioner uh Sayed and Tangia, and I I know the staff is here as well.

Um so uh the first item I think on the agenda was that rice.

Thank you, Chair.

If you want to keep consultative, I will get the program easy.

Thank you, Chair.

Um well, our committee met on last Thursday.

Um we had one item, uh 780 uh rice uh kept with a modification conditional conditional use uh betterment with the outdoors auto sales and rental with the modification.

Um we had a a good discussion and uh through our committee and uh um we needed more samurai.

Uh we have almost Germany here.

Um, but we uh um a committee after discussion and uh and uh we uh voted uh four to one to approve.

Um so we'll um get a more detail than we can get a during dollars.

Um commissioner and it looks like we have a question from Commissioner Witzberg.

Yeah, I was just curious.

Um what where the district council sit on this uh if staff wants to come up and give us uh that was yeah.

Um the district council uh recommended approval.

They also uh wanted to see some kind of stormwater management on site, but it is already the site is too small, which is why they require the modification of their CUP.

So you would like accessible owners to the umbrella.

Um, but that wasn't the condition for their approval.

Thank you, Chris.

Thanks.

Uh actually while Chris is in the area.

Um we stick around during well you asked the question.

Uh Commissioner Hackney.

Thanks, Chair.

I was just wondering what the loan dissent of the vote, what their uh interview would have been.

Commissioner.

Um I was the loan designator, uh, Commissioner Hackney.

We had a good discussion, like Commissioner Sayin said we had discussions on um code cuts.

Um, and the committee um decided to to go one way, and I am happy to um support the application as as a what through the zoning committee.

Oh uh commissioner.

Uh yeah, thank you, Chair.

Uh one thing to note about this.

Um the discussion revolved around closing the curb cut on Rice Street.

The city has the setback requirement of 60 feet.

This is roughly 55 feet.

However, there's a security fence that extends out, so it's a wide driveway apron.

So it is set back beyond that 60.
