The Development Review Commission held a public meeting on December 14, 2021, beginning at approximately 1:00 PM. The commission considered several land use applications, including consent items and three public hearings. The meeting included approval of minutes from October 26, 2021, and votes on requests for a retail gun shop, a community garden, and a mixed-use workforce housing development.
All right, members of the public, we're gonna get started here. The development review commission is created to hold public meetings and hearings to provide analysis and recommendation to the city council regarding general land use policies and applications where the commission has recommendatory power and to render final decisions on specified applications where the commission has final decision making power, including but not limited to all aspects of a proposed and future development. The development review commission recommends to the city council, and they're not always final decisions. I do have a roll call. Scott, you uh oh no, you're not vice chair. I'm sorry. I'm Chairman Mike D. Domenico. Steve Bauer, I've been gone for a month or two. So uh Vice Chair Stephen Bauer and uh Don Cassano and Michelle Schwartz. Uh for staff today joining us, Ryan Lebec, Steve Abraham, Separna Deskopta, Diana Kaminsky, Obina Kingsby, Lily Drosos, uh, Joanna Barry, and Jason Wolf uh running the comms today. Uh members of the public, I'm going to try and explain as we go uh the process. Um if you have any questions, get my attention. These meetings where we're partially in person and partially online are a little more challenging for us to keep up with uh the participation, so we're gonna try and keep it slow enough that we don't miss anything important. Um in our study session, uh we discussed uh today's agenda, and uh it is the commission's plan to put several of the items on what we call our consent agenda, and that means that it's our intention to vote in a single vote to approve all the items that are are included in the consent agenda. So I'm gonna read and and when I read these uh item numbers, I am going off of the agenda that was published uh online. Uh the items that we propose for consent today are items number three, four, six, seven, and nine. Uh originally we had also intended to have ten. Uh we have a member of the public who wishes to be heard on that case, and so that one will now be heard. So that means we will be having a hearing for Ironstone Tactical Item uh agenda item number five. Uh we will be hearing item number eight, which is the MAC 6 Community Garden, and item number 10, which is the Dwell project. Uh any members of the public who wish to be heard on any of the consent agenda cases, raise your hand. All right, so the consent consent agenda will remain as read. In addition, during this during our study session, we discussed the meeting minutes for the October 26th study session and regular meeting. Uh, those two sets of uh minutes. Uh we had one minor correction, which uh we had read into the record earlier. Uh so we'll be we will be voting on those as they are amended. Um I will consider a motion for approval of the uh meeting minutes for October 26, 21. Mr. Chairman, Commissioner Casano. I would make a motion for approval of the uh development review commission study session, minutes of 1026, 2021, and the regular meeting of 1026, 2021. Do we have a second second? Commissioner Amarosi. It's been moved and seconded. All those in favor signify by raising your hand. I'm abstaining. I was not present. Uh motion passes 62. All right. I will entertain a motion for approval of the consent agenda. Mr. Chairman, Commissioner Sumner's uh motion to approve the consent agenda as read. Second, Mr. Chairman, Commissioner Cassano. It's been moved and seconded. Uh do we have anyone online who's popped in and wants to pull any of the cases? All right. No. Seeing none, uh, we will vote on the consent agenda. Uh Suparna, do you want me to take a roll call on each individual item or is it show of hands since we're all present?
