[Public Hearing Item 2]
ITEM NUMBER TWO, PROJECT NAME IS A SHADOW MOUNT ATHLETIC FIELD IMPROVEMENTS.IT'S A REPLACEMENT BLEACHERS AND FIELD NETTING.
IT IS SEQUEL EXEMPT AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVED STAFF.
MR. CHAIR, I NEED TO RECUSE MYSELF.
MR. SERCO COULD YOU PUT IT ON THE RECORD FOR THE REASON? YES, I WORK FOR SHADOW MOUNTAIN.
THAT'S WHY I'M RECUSING MYSELF.
WELL THANK YOU, CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS.
UH, SO AGAIN, UH, FOR THIS ITEM, WE'RE DISCUSSING PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ATHLETIC FIELDS, UH, FOR THE SHADOW MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY CHURCH CAMPUS.
SO THE SHADOW MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY, UH, CHURCH CAMPUS CONSISTS OF AN EAST AND WEST CAMPUS AND THEY'RE SEPARATED BY GREENFIELD DRIVE.
AND THEY'RE BOTH ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF EAST MADISON AVENUE.
UM, THE ENTIRE CAMPUS IS GOVERNED BY SPECIFIC PLAN NUMBER 5 23.
SO ON THIS SIDE, ON THIS SLIDE, WE'VE SHOWN AN AERIAL, UH, MAP OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
UM, THE EAST CAMPUS IS SHOWN SURROUNDED IN WHITE AND THAT'S APPROXIMATELY 32 ACRES.
AND THEN THE SUBJECT OF TONIGHT'S REQUEST IS THE BASEBALL FIELD, WHICH IS ON THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE EAST CAMPUS.
AND THAT'S IDENTIFIED BY THE YELLOW CIRCLE.
[00:05:05]
SO THE COMMISSION MAY RECALL THIS REQUEST ACTUALLY CAME BEFORE THE COMMISSION ON APRIL 20TH, 2021.AND IT WAS A MINOR AMENDMENT, UH, TO THE SPECIFIC PLAN, UH, FOR THE BALL FIELDS.
UM, THE CURRENT REQUEST IS ACTUALLY REQUIRES REVIEW BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, BECAUSE THE ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT, UH THAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, UH, DEVIATES FROM THE PREVIOUS APPROVAL BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
SO THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE APRIL 20TH PROJECT, INCLUDING, UH, THE STRUCTURE AROUND THE BLEACHERS, UH, FINISHED IN STUCCO, UH, NEW NETTING BEHIND HOME PLATE AND AN ARCHED ENTRY FEATURE.
SO THE APPLICANT DID INDICATE TO STAFF THAT, UH, PROJECT CHANGES ARE NEEDED DUE TO, UH, FINANCIAL, UH, CONCERNS REGARDING CONSTRUCTION COSTS.
SO THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE CURRENTLY PROPOSED ELEVATIONS WITH NEW METAL BLEACHERS.
UH, THE BASE ON THE BLEACHERS IS PROPOSED TO HAVE A, A FABRIC WRAP, WHICH IS DEPICTED IN BLUE ON THE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS.
UM, THE APPLICANT HAS INDICATED THAT THE SCHOOL THAT SCHOOL RELATED GRAPHICS MAY BE INCLUDED ON THE FINAL WRAP THAT GOES AROUND THE BASE OF THE BLEACHERS.
UH, LASTLY, THESE ELEVATIONS ALSO DEPICT NEW NETTING BEHIND HOME PLATES, UH, WITH THE POSTS UP TO 35 FEET IN HEIGHT.
SO EVEN THOUGH THE CURRENT REQUEST IS LESS ELABORATE THAN THE ORIGINAL APPROVED PROJECT, IT REMAINS CONSISTENT WITH FEATURES THAT ARE FOUND AT TYPICAL BASEBALL FIELDS, UM, AND AT TYPICAL SCHOOLS.
SO AS SUCH, UM, STAFF IS ABLE TO RECOMMEND, UH, THAT THE PROJECT MODIFICATIONS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE SPECIFIC PLAN.
SO STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION CONDUCT THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN ADOPT THE RESOLUTIONS, APPROVING THE SE EXEMPTION, AND THEN APPROVING THE MINOR AMENDMENT TO SPECIFIC PLAN NUMBER 5 23.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, KEVIN? SO I DO HAVE A QUESTION, UM, BECAUSE WE APPROVE THE OTHER ONE AND THEN, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT, IF THIS ONE GETS APPROVED, LET'S SAY COSTS COME DOWN AND LET'S SAY THE SCHOOL DECIDES THEY WANT TO GO BACK AND MAYBE REVISIT THE FIRST DESIGN MM-HMM
DOES IT, DOES THAT HAVE TO GO BACK THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AGAIN, SINCE IT WAS APPROVED OR DOES THE WHOLE PROCESS START OVER HOW'S THAT WORK TYPICALLY? SO FOR THE MINOR AMENDMENT PROCESS, UM, WHAT WE WANNA MAKE SURE IS THAT WE'RE GETTING A, A, A PRODUCT THAT'S EQUAL IN QUALITY TO WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED.
SO, UM, IF THE COMMISSION WANTS TO DELEGATE AUTHORITY TO STAFF TO APPROVE SOMETHING BETWEEN THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL AND WHAT'S PROPOSED TONIGHT, UM, THAT COULD BE MADE, UH, PART OF THE MOTION, UM, FOR APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT.
WELL, I'LL, I'LL ASK, UH, IF THERE'S ANY SPEAKER CARDS WE CAN TALK TO THE SPEAKER ABOUT THAT.
IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS, IS THERE ANY SPEAKER CARDS FOR TONIGHT? I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT SUBMITTED A SPEAKER CARD.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP PUBLIC HEARING AND, UM, BRINGING THE APPLICANT FORWARD.
THANK YOU FOR, UH, MEETING AGAIN TONIGHT.
UM, MY SPEAKER CARD, ACTUALLY, I WAS GOING TO, UH, PROPOSE EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST ASKED, UH, WHICH IS WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE, UH, THE FLEXIBILITY TO BUILD, UM, THE NICEST PRODUCT WE CAN, UM, SINCE THE PREVIOUS APPROVAL HAPPENED, THERE'S BEEN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF INFLATION.
UH, BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, UM, JUST THE, THE, WE, YOU KNOW, WE STARTED WITH THE CONCEPT CONCEPT GOT APPROVED, THEN WE GOT QUOTES.
AND SO THE ACTUAL BLEACHER STAND, UM, WE HAD A QUOTE FOR THAT, BUT ALL OF THE SURROUNDING THE STUCCO, THE ARCH, ALL THAT STUFF, UH, THOSE QUOTES WE GOT AFTER WE HAD APPROVAL AND THEY WERE JUST MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WHAT WE COULD, WE COULD AFFORD.
SO, UH, IDEALLY WE'D LIKE TO HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO ADD SOME OF THOSE COMPONENTS BACK IN AS WE HAVE FUNDS AVAILABLE.
BUT, UM, WE, WE, WE KNOW FOR A FACT, AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW AT THE MINIMUM, WE WANNA BE ABLE TO DO, DO THE BLEACHERS AND THEN, UH, AND THEN AS MUCH MORE AS WE PO AS WE'RE ABLE TO AFFORD AS WE GO.
OH, CAN YOU GIVE US YOUR NAME, SPELLING OF YOUR LAST NAME FOR THE RECORD? MY APOLOGIES, BRIAN SNOW, B R Y A N, UH, S SN O W.
I WORK FOR SHADOW MOUNTAIN CHURCH.
SO, UM, EITHER WAY THE BLEACHERS ARE GOING IN.
AND THEN YOU'RE SAYING IF DOWN THE ROAD YOU CAN AFFORD TO BUILD STRUCTURE AROUND THEM.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD TRY TO DO ALL AT ONCE OR IN PHASES? WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHTS? UM, I THINK THAT IT'S PROBABLY UNLIKELY THAT WE COULD DO IT ALL AT ONCE BECAUSE, UM, THE, JUST THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROJECT, IT'S PRETTY SIGNIFICANT.
UM, YOU KNOW, UH, HONESTLY WE, WE THOUGHT THAT, UH, GIVEN THE LOCATION THAT IT WOULD BE KIND OF A LESS OF AN ISSUE.
UH, THERE, THERE IS NO VISIBILITY TO, YOU KNOW, FROM THE STREET, YOU CAN'T SEE THIS.
IT BASICALLY IS, IT, IT ONLY INVOLVES BACKYARD NEIGHBORS.
[00:10:01]
UM, UM, BUT IT DOES, IT DOES IMPACT OUR PARTICIPANTS WHO COME AND SEE IT.SO WE WANNA MAKE IT AS NICE AS WE CAN.
UH, BUT IN ALL REALITY, THE WAY I COULD SEE IT HAPPENING REALISTICALLY, IS WE GET THE BLEACHERS IN PLACE THERE THAT BUILDS SOME EXCITEMENT AROUND IT.
SOME ADDITIONAL DONATIONS COME IN, MAYBE WE'RE ABLE TO DO THE ARCH AND THEN, YOU KNOW, EVEN, YOU KNOW, EVEN BETTER, IF ENOUGH MONEY CAME IN THAT WE COULD DO THE FULL STRUCTURE, THAT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER.
BUT, UM, I JUST, I CAN'T, I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO AVOID AN ADDITIONAL LEGISLATIVE STEP IF POSSIBLE, AND JUST HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO HAVE SOME, UH, YOU KNOW, SOME, SOME GIVE AND TAKE OKAY.
BETWEEN WHAT WE PRESENTED TONIGHT IS A PRETTY STRIPPED DOWN VERSION.
AND WHAT YOU PREVIOUSLY APPROVED WAS KIND OF THE CADILLAC VERSION.
IN REGARDS TO THE BIG STRUCTURE IN THE BACK.
SO IS YOUR MICROPHONE ON? PROBABLY NOT.
SO WITH, WITH THE STRUCTURE, THE BIG STUCCO STRUCTURE THAT YOU HAVE, THERE THERE'LL BE ENOUGH CLEARANCE.
YOU'RE BUILDING THESE BLEACHERS AS TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.
SO IF THERE IS SOME LENIENCY, WE DON'T HAVE TO RECONFIGURE ANYTHING.
YOU CAN JUST GO AHEAD AND PLACE.
IT'D BE LIPSTICK ON THE PROJECT, BASICALLY.
MA'AM ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I LIKED IN THE FIRST, UM, I'M, I'M SURE YOU LIKED EVERYTHING ABOUT THE FIRST PROJECT.
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, BUT, UM, IS THAT THERE WAS SUNSHADE, SO THAT'S ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, AS A NURSE, I'M ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HEALTH AND SAFETY.
AND I I'VE BEEN THAT PARENT SITTING ON BLEACHERS AND FULL SUN, AND A LOT OF TIMES YOU DON'T WANNA BRING SOMETHING ELSE, LIKE AN UMBRELLA BECAUSE IT OBSTRUCTS SOMEONE ELSE'S VIEW AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
WILL THERE BE AN OPTION WITHIN THIS LATER ONE TO AT LEAST HAVE A, SOME KIND OF SUNSHADE, THERE IS THE OPTION BECAUSE WE'RE DOING THE NETTING AND THE NETTING, UM, THE SUNSHADE CAN BE INCORPORATED WITH THE NETTING.
IT'S JUST, THAT'S A VERY EASY ADDITION AGAIN, I'M ASSUMING THAT THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK HERE FOR, BUT YES.
UM, AS FUNDS ALLOW, I THINK THAT WOULD BE PRETTY, PRETTY HIGH UP ON THE LIST OF THINGS TO ADD BACK IN.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS LOOKS, UH, VERY GOOD.
THAT THE ROMANS USED TO HAVE
THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHAT WE, THAT'S WHAT, I MEAN.
WHAT I WAS THINKING IS I REMEMBER HOW WE DID THE OVERLAY MAP AND, UH, MAYBE WE COULD POSSIBLY DO THE SAME THING OVERLAY ON THIS ONE, THE APPROVING THE, UH, WHAT'S BEEN PROPOSED WITH, UH, THE OPTION OF DOING THE OVERLAY THAT MEANS DOING THE, THE, UH, WHAT YOU INTENDED TO DO.
SO, BUT WHEN THE GLADIATORS COME FROM THE WARS, THEY CAN GO THROUGH THAT.
AND THAT MIGHT BE, THAT'S A GOOD THING.
UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? WELL, THANK YOU.
UH, ANY OTHER SPEAKER CARDS? NONE.
THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.
I SECOND IT MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SOT, PLEASE VOTE.
SO YOU MENTIONED WE COULD GIVE THE LENIENCY IN, IN OUR, UH, BASICALLY SPELL OUT THAT WE DON'T, IF HE WANTS TO COME BACK, HE CAN BE DONE WITH STAFF AND HE DOESN'T, HE CAN LOSE THAT LAYER OF, YOU KNOW, BUREAUCRACY, SO TO SPEAK.
SO, UM, ESSENTIALLY THE MINOR AMENDMENT, ONCE SOMETHING'S APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UM, THE MINOR AMENDMENT POLICY SAYS THAT STAFF IS REQUIRED TO, UM, UH, HAVE ANY CONSTRUCTION PLANS SHOW THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES THAT WERE THERE.
SO THE, THE GUIDANCE THAT WE GAVE TO THE APPLICANT WAS THAT SINCE YOU'RE REMOVING THOSE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES, WE NEED TO GO BACK AND HAVE THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVE THIS NEW DESIGN.
UM, I, IF THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS COMFORTABLE WITH, UH, A RANGE BETWEEN WHAT'S PROPOSED TONIGHT AND WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED, I THINK IF THAT DIRECTION IS GIVEN TO STAFF, WE CAN USE THAT FLEXIBILITY TO, UM, IMPLEMENT, UH, THE RANGE OF OPTIONS THAT THE APPLICANT HAS DESCRIBED.
LET'S SAY YOU FAIL COMMISSIONERS.
ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THAT? YEAH, I WAS WONDERING THOUGH, UH, DO WE NEED A, ANOTHER CONDITIONAL OF APPROVAL TO ADD TO THE, UH, WELL, I WOULD PROBABLY DIVERT TO BARBARA ON THAT.
UH, YOU WOULDN'T JUST WHEN, UM, WHOEVER MAKES THE MOTION JUST SAY, UH, AS AMENDED AS AMENDED.
BY YOUR DIRECTION COULD BE ADDED INTO THE RESOLUTION.
DOES ANYONE WANT TO GIVE IT A SHOT?
[00:15:01]
BE SOME JEOPARDY MUSIC PLAYING.AND OF COURSE THE PARROTS HAVE, NOW I'VE LOST MY BACKGROUND NOISE OF THE PARROTS.
GOSH, I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS SO FAR DOWN.
THIS BUTTON RIGHT HERE BRINGS YOU BACK TO THE TOP.
SO, UM, I MAKE A MOTION TO, UM, APPROVE, UH, THE, LET'S SEE, TO ADOPT THE, THE, IT SAYS THE NEXT RESOLUTION IN ORDER APP, PROVING THE SEQ EXEMPTION AND MA 2 20 22 DASH ZERO EIGHT TO SPECIFIC PLAN NUMBER 5 23.
AND THEN YOU HAD ME AS AMENDED.
SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS AS AMENDED.
VALEZ SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER.
AND THE MOTION CARRIES AND GOOD LUCK.
WE'LL SEE WHAT YOU END UP WITH.
IT'S GOOD THAT WE WEREN'T TALKING ANYTHING BAD ABOUT YOU.
SO WE ARE NOW ONTO GO UP TO HERE ALL, SO
[Public Hearing Item 3]
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE, PROJECT NAME IS AN APPEAL OF DIRECTOR'S DETERMINATION FOR THE ALDI STORE, AN APPEAL OF THE DIRECTOR'S DENIAL OF A FINDING OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE, OR A NECESSITY FOR AN OFF SALE ALCOHOL LICENSE.IT IS SE EXEMPT, AND THERE IS A CONTINUANCE TO DATE CERTAIN FOR OCTOBER 4TH, 2022.
AND ARE THERE SPEAKERS ON THIS? NO SPEAKERS.
SO WE'RE GONNA HOLD THIS THING OVER, CORRECT.
WE'RE JUST GONNA CONTINUE THIS THEN.
UH, THE APPLICANT CONTACTED STAFF, UH, LATE LAST WEEK AND SAID THAT, UH, THEY REQUESTED THE CONTINUANCE DUE TO AN ILLNESS ON THE PROJECT TEAM.
UH, SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH ALDI, UM, ON THE TIMING OF THIS HEARING.
UM, THEY ASKED FOR A CONTINUANCE TO DATE CERTAIN TO OCTOBER 4TH.
SO THE CONTINUANCE TO A DATE CERTAIN WOULD MEAN THAT, UH, NO ADDITIONAL PUBLIC NOTICING WOULD OCCUR.
UM, AND THEN, UH, THE ITEM OBVIOUSLY WOULD BE SCHEDULED TO FOR THE OCTOBER 4TH HEARING.
SO, UM, IS THERE ANY MOTION WE NEED TO MAKE ON THIS? NO.
IT WOULD BE A MOTION TO CONTINUE TO DATE CERTAIN ON OCTOBER 4TH.
WELL, I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO DATE CERTAIN OCTOBER 4TH, 2022.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER MORROW, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER.
THE MOTION CARRIES BY MEMBERS PRESENT.
[4. OTHER ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION]

UM, SO STAFF IS BRINGING THIS FORWARD AND RECOMMENDING THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION ADOPT THE RESOLUTION OF INTENTION, UH, TO AMEND THE ZONING CODE SO THAT WE CAN ADDRESS, UH, SOME OF THE ISSUES, UH, RELATING TO THOSE LODGING ESTABLISHMENTS BY UPDATING SOME DEFINITIONS, UM, LOOKING AT, UH, ALLOWED AND ACCESSORY USES, AND THEN LOOKING AT SOME OF THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS RELATED TO LODGING ESTABLISHMENTS.
SO TONIGHT WE'RE JUST ASKING YOU ADOPT THAT RESOLUTION OF INTENTION, AND THEN WE WOULD, UH, SCHEDULE A HEARING AND BRING BACK ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
UH, WHAT KIND OF TIMEFRAME ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING FOR TO BRING IT BACK? UH, WE'RE POTENTIALLY LOOKING AT BRINGING THIS BACK ON OCTOBER 4TH AS WELL.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STEPH? YEAH, SO THIS ISN'T THE DEEMED TO PROVE LODGING.
WE ALREADY DID THAT, BUT THIS IS AMENDING THAT CORRECT.

ARE THESE THE, UH, SINGLE ROOM HOUSING THAT WE APPROVED IN, UH, FORMER, UH, MOTELS THAT PEOPLE COULD LIVE THERE FOR 30 DAYS, UH, RENT? NO, THIS IS NOT RELATED TO, UM, ANY OF THE APPROVED SROS.
[00:20:01]
FOR EXISTING, UM, MOTELS THAT ARE OPERATING IN THE CITY.UM, WITH THAT BEING SAID IT ONE, WELL, DO WE WANT TO, I JUST HAD A QUESTION WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE, THE VOUCHERS, CAN YOU, WHEN YOU'RE DOING YOUR GUYS HOMEWORK, CAN YOU TELL ME, OR LOOK INTO EXACTLY HOW MANY, UM, WOW, COOL.

WE WILL DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THE VOUCHER PROGRAM AND BRING BACK AS MUCH INFORMATION AS WE CAN.
WE ARE, UM, TARGETING A SHORT TURNAROUND FOR OCTOBER 4TH, SO WE WILL DO WHAT WE CAN TO PROVIDE APPRECIATE AS INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE.
BUT IF I, IF I COULD MAKE A SUGGESTION, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT REACHING OUT TO THE EAST COUNTY HOMELESS TASK FORCE, MAYBE THERE'S SHELTER, HOUSING GROUP.
UH, THEY MIGHT HAVE SOMEONE THAT COULD COME AND SPEAK TO THE ISSUE.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT, THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE OR THAT WOULD BE PART OF PUBLIC COMMENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IF THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE HAD A QUESTION, BUT I THINK THEY WORK WITH A LOT OF THOSE, THE NONPROFITS.
SO, UH, THIS IS BASICALLY A MOTION.
YOU WANT US TO MAKE A MOTION THEN? YES.
SO STAFF'S RECOMMENDING THAT A MOTION BE MADE TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION OF INTENTION.
YOU WANT ME TO GIVE THAT A SHOT? YEAH.
