Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the Development Review Commission. Today is January 28th, 2025. The Development Review Commission is 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 future development. The development review commission recognizes that the creation of a desirable environment throughout the city for residents, business, and industry is a prime requisite for the independence 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 of the development review commission may file an appeal to the city council within fourteen calendar days after the development review commission has rendered its decision. Development review commission recommendations to city council are not. And with us tonight with Jeff Temolevich, Brian Levake, Michelle Dalki, Diana Kaminsky, Chris Jasper, Robert Mancilio, Alexander Bosworth, Joanna Barry, and Jason Wolfe.
