You put your arms around home. You know I'm not one to break promises. All right, everybody. We're gonna get started here. We good. All right. Welcome everybody to the September 13th, 2022 Development Review Commission hearing. The purpose of the Development Review Commission has been created to hold public meetings and hearings to provide analysis and recommendations 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 recognizes that the creation of a desirable environment throughout the city for residents, businesses, and industry is a prime requisite for the interdependence of land values, aesthetics, and good site planning by promoting harmonious, safe, attractive, and compatible development that is therefore considered to be in the best interest of public health, safety, and general welfare. Any person aggrieved by a final decision, a final decision of the development review commission may file an appeal to the city council within 14 calendar days after after the development review commission has rendered its decision. Development review commission recommendations to the city council are not final decisions.

Uh in our pre-session or study session, we had a chance to go through uh the minutes of the study session and regular meetings uh dated August 23rd, 2022. There were no changes or edits. I will entertain a motion for approval of those two sets of minutes. Chairman. Commissioner Cassano.

Uh that brings us to our consent agenda. It's the intention of the commission to pass all the remaining items uh listed on tonight's agenda as items three, four, five, and six in a single vote for approval as a part of the consent agenda. Is there anyone here from the public who had questions uh or concerns and wishes to be heard on any of those four cases? And we have nothing from anyone online. All right. Vice Chair. I move for the approval of the consent agenda. Do we have a second? It's been moved by Vice Chairman Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Spears. Any discussion? Hearing none, I'll call the question. All those in favor signify by raising your hand. And the consent agenda is approved unanimously, seven to zero. That brings us to any announcements from commission members. Any announcements? I have one. I'm going to tell you, as the kids say, that I was today years old when I learned that these are touch screens. And if you bring the presentations back up, you can actually like use your finger, and when the documents are up, you can move them.
