Oh, you know, yeah.

Uh yes.

Yeah.

Jennifer.

Good evening, everyone, and welcome to this meeting of the Syracuse Planning Commission.

Uh, we'll begin our business and our uh public hearings in just a moment.

Before we do that, though, I do want to note the passing and acknowledge the many contributions of a former member of this body, um, namely Dr.

Ruben Cowert, who passed away last month, served the city for many ye many, many, many years through his work on this body, and I hope that his tireless work will serve as an inspiration to those to the rest of us to look for and take part in meaningful opportunities to serve our community.

So thank you for bearing with me as I note that note that um piece of news, and now we will move to our agenda for this evening.

Our first order of business is action on the minutes of our meeting in late July, July twenty-eighth.

Those minutes have been distributed in advance to the commission members.

Move approval of the minutes of July twenty-eighth, twenty twenty-five.

Thank you.

Second.

Aye.

Those opposed, please say nay.

Any abstentions?

Uh, member of the staff will call the applications who in order for our hearings this evening.

Just by way of process for those who are not familiar with our um public hearings, as each in the as each application is announced, we ask that the applicant or the representative come forward to the podium in the center of the room, provide their name and address, and then a brief summary of the application.

Following questions from the commission members, we will then invite members of the public who wish to speak in favor of the application to come forward to do that, providing their name and address for the record.

And we will also provide an opportunity for those who wish to speak in opposition to the application to come forward and do that as well.

We ask that all speakers, either for or against to hold their comments to no more than three minutes, uh, so that everyone can have a chance to speak, and also realizing that we have these um chambers for only a limited amount of time this evening, and we want to get through all of our agenda items this evening.

So with that, we will turn our attention to the first item on the agenda, which is uh old business.

First up is the text amendments to rezone the city of Syracuse zoning ordinance and official map Z-2880.

Um just a quick recap summary for the commission members.

Um commission made a motion that we would conditionally approve uh the proposed amendments with uh the condition that we work on the PID section um uh um from any concerns that were had, uh namely from uh Sergio's university, and we've done that, and I believe we're at the point now where we are ready to move forward with the exception of um holding on any proposed uh changes to table 2.15 G.

Uh so it's two point table 2.15 subsection G, we will hold on any proposed amendments for the time being on that.

It'll it'll remain the same as is uh today, but everything else is ready to move forward.

Okay, okay.

Thank you for the update.

We have the uh updated information in front of us and distributed.

Um there any questions from the commission members when we took action last time, we advanced a motion and said we would recommend going forward with everything but the PID section.

So do you recommend that we now entertain a new motion?

Um you might want to modify it because the language in the PAD section is different.

Um most of it was posted online, but there were some modifications today.

Um most notably the last page of this, and you can modify your motion to I did it so that it's by article section, subsection number.

You just do that stuff.

Um this was not posted because it's brush.

Um you can read it into the record if you want.

There's a public review copy here available.

And so as the maker, I believe.

Just yeah.

So everything in purple on there is the substantial revision since last time in the whole document.

So they were the blue is what was here last time.

The purple is changed, and the red is even additional.

Okay, so I'm so can they can the could they make a motion if they choose to uh include all the changes in this handout?

Yes.

And that would have that would that includes leaving table 2.15 G subsection G it's as is as is now it's corrected in this document.

So maybe you can just take it easy and if you choose to just say all the proposed changes in this document.

Okay, which will be posted online, and there's public review copy here if anybody wants to look at it.

Okay.

So as the maker, I will make a motion to accept uh this document as section two point one five for our text amendments.

Sorry, and three point one three point six is a specific definition.

You want me to just make a correction?

So you're probably going to make a motion to accept the changes to section subsection 2.15 as shown in the document that's been distributed to the council and posted online additionally for um a proffered amendment to Article 3, Section 3.6 use definition, subsection B2A1, and Article 5, 5.4, subsection B5D 3, adding new language, and article 5, subsection 5.6, or section 5.6 B2 F 2, adding a new section.

Three sections.

Yep.

So it again, as council pointed out, specifically amended to those sections of current rezone.

Additionally as Jake indicated, there are three sections that will be impacted by these amendments.

And I make the motion that we positively recommend the entire package of text amendments as well as what I just amended for recommendation by the common council.
