ALL RIGHT.WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE PUBLIC HEARINGS.
THE FIRST SIGNED IN UNDER PUBLIC HEARINGS IS AGENDA ITEM.
NUMBER TWO, PROJECT NAME IS A ASAP TOWING OPERATIONAL VEHICLE.
THE REQUEST IS TO ALLOW A PARKING LOT FOR EMPLOYEE AND OPERATIONAL VEHICLES ASSOCIATED WITH ASAP TELLING SEQUEL.
I RECKON MANDATION IS EXEMPT AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVED STAFF.
UM, I HAVE AN ARROW FOR, FOR SHARING THE SCREEN.
GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS AND CHAIR.
UH, LIKE YOU MENTIONED A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NUMBER TWO, TWO FIVE NINE, UH, FOR ASAP TOWING, OPERATIONAL AND EMPLOYEE VEHICLE PARKING IS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, UM, IS FOR THE ASAP TOWING OPERATION OPERATIONAL VEHICLE PARKING LOCATED AT FIVE 81 SOUTH MARSHALL BECAUSE THE EXISTING PROPERTY INCLUDES NO BUILDINGS, BUT IS COMPLETELY PAID.
THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR A 62 SPACE PARKING LOT FOR EMPLOYEES AND OPERATIONAL OR FLEET VEHICLES IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE IMPOUND LOT LOCATED TWO PARCELS TO THE NORTH AT OR TO SEVEN SOUTH MARSHALL.
THIS PROPOSAL DOES NOT INCLUDE AN ADDITIONAL IMPOUND USE PARKING LOT WOULD INCLUDE PAINTED PARKING STALLS, NEW LANDSCAPING ALONG THE EXTERIOR FACING SOUTH MARSHALL AND A NEW SIX FOOT HIGH MASONARY WALL.
THE PROPERTY HAS A GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION OF MEDIUM DENSITY, RESIDENTIAL AND A ZONING DESIGNATION OF RM 2200 IS RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY PROPERTY IS ALSO LOCATED WITHIN THE TRANSIT DISTRICT SPECIFIC PLAN, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE AREA BY INCORPORATING RESIDENTIAL UNIT USES NEAR TRANSIT DUE 2015.
A FIRE DESTROYED THE TWO BUILDINGS ON THE PROPERTY, WHICH RESULTED IN GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION, VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AS DOCUMENTED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TOXIC SUBSTANCE CONTROL.
IN 2000 MITIGATION MEASURES WERE IMPLEMENTED TO REDUCE THE CONTAMINATION IN THE SOIL AND TREAT THE CONTAMINATION GROUNDWATER AT THE SITE.
A LAND USE COVENANT WAS RECORDED REQUIRING FUTURE OWNERS TO MAINTAIN THE CURRENT PAVEMENT, UH, PROHIBIT OR LIMIT LAND USE OPPORTUNITIES AND RESTRICT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS HERE SHOWS THE LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT SITE IN YELLOW AND THE ASSOCIATED IMPOUND LOCK UP THE NORTH IN WHITE.
THE SITE PLAN SHOWS THE LAYOUT OF THE SITE WITH LOCATION OF THE PARKING SPACES OR DRIVEWAYS ALONG WITH THE PROPOSED WALL IN THE FRONT AND NEW LANDSCAPING ALONG THE FRONT.
THE STREET VIEW IS A REPRESENTATION OF THE EXISTING CONDITIONS ALONG THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY.
ALONG SOUTH MARSHALL EVERYBODY'S STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL
[00:10:01]
OF SEQUENCE EXEMPTION AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TWO, TWO, FIVE, NINE SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS.ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, ALFONZO.
UH, ARE THERE, I CAN'T SEE EVERYBODY VERY STOP THE SHARING.
YEAH, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND STOP SHARING THE SCREEN.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE OPEN PUBLIC COMMENT? I DO.
UH, WELL THE SUBJECT, THE PROPERTY, UH, THERE'LL BE, UH, AVAILABLE WILL EVER BE, UH, THAT WE BUILT UPON DEVELOPED A PARTICULAR LAND OR IS IT, UH, INTERNALLY MADE THAT IT CAN NEVER BE USED, UM, ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ON THE PROPERTY OF THE LIMIT, UM, DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW BUILDING OR REALLY ANY OTHER TYPE OF USES IT'S OWN RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY.
SO THE PERMITTED USES ARE DESIRED AS RESIDENTIAL.
UM, AND THAT'S KIND OF ONE OF THE EXEMPTIONS, UM, WELL RESTRICTIONS FOR THE, ON THE COVENANT, WHICH IS, UM, ONE WON'T PERMIT, A RESIDENTIAL USE.
IF IT CAN'T BE USED FOR RESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR BE USED FOR A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
UM, WELL THERE'S A LOT OF, UM, STILL MORE MITIGATION THAT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE, UM, INVOLVING THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OF THE PROPERTIES MORE IN PARTICULAR, THE GROUNDWATER, UH, WHICH IS BEING THE DETERRENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUILDINGS THIS USE IN PARTICULAR DOESN'T REQUIRE A BUILDING.
BUT TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, UM, NO, IT, IT, IT WILL BE VERY LIMITED IN THE, UM, BEING ABLE TO CAPACITY FOR, UH, BASICALLY A BUILDING.
SO THERE IS NO KIND OF LIMIT IT CAN BE BUILT UPON.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, MR. KIBERA, GO AHEAD.
WHAT'S THE, UH, THE LENGTH OF THE CUP? LIKE HOW LONG HAS THE CUP UNTIL IT HAS TO BE RECONSIDERED AGAIN, NOT SURELY.
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION.
THERE'S NO EXPIRATION DATE FOR EVERY VIEW ON THE CPA, I GUESS TYPICALLY YOU SEE IF HE DOESN'T HAVE A REVIEW PERIOD CUP ONCE APPROVED STAYS WITH THE LAND AND IT'S FOREVER UNTIL IT'S REVOKED FOR SOME REASON, RIGHT.
SO I WOULD SAY IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE PAGE WITH THE SITE PLAN ON IT, CAN YOU BRING THAT UP? YEAH.
SO YOU SEE HOW THE IOS IN THE CENTER IS 22 FOOT WIDE, BUT, UH, THE PARKING REGULATIONS UNDER 17, ONE 85 TO 10, SAY THAT IT HAS TO BE 24 FEET.
IS THAT BECAUSE IT'S A ONE WAY OR WHY, WHY DO THEY HAVE A 24 FOOT WIDE, A 22 FOOT WIDE AND A 25 FOOT WIDE WHEN THEY CAN MAKE IT ALL EAGLE BY GOING 24, 24, 24, IT IS A ONE WAY.
UM, AND BASED ON THE LAYOUT WAS TO BE ABLE TO INCORPORATE THAT MANY PARKING SPACES ONTO THE SITE.
UM, IT'S THE ONE WAY I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, EVENTUALLY I CAN, I COULD SEE THAT IT PROBABLY ISN'T GOING TO BE ONE WAY ALL THE TIME.
AND I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY EASY FOR THEM JUST TO MAKE THAT 24 AND MAKE THEIR OTHER PARKING SPOT, LIKE THE OTHER ONE'S 19, 19, YOU KNOW, UH, 20 INSTEAD OF 24 ON THE ONE END AND GET 24, 24 AND 24 IN CASE IN CASE SOMEDAY
[00:15:01]
THAT THEY NEED A BACK OUT.UM, I'M JUST A LITTLE CURIOUS AS WHY THEY CHOSE TO DO THAT.
I JUST TO CLARIFY TOO, UH, COMMISSIONER CABRERA.
SO THE SPACES THAT ARE TO, UM, UH, TO THE NORTH THEY'RE 22 AND A HALF FEET IN DEPTH.
UM, SO THERE IS, THERE IS 24 FEET AND BACKUP SPACE.
THEY ARE JUST DEPICTING A PORTION OF THAT AS BEING WITHIN THE PARKING STALL.
UM, SO THERE IS ADEQUATE SPACE CONSIDERING THE MINIMUM DEPTH OF OUR PARKING STALLS IS 18 AND A HALF.
I SEE THAT THERE'S, THERE'S ADEQUATE DEPTH.
SO AT THAT DIMENSIONS IS ACTUALLY NOT FROM PARKING, THE PARKING IT'S FROM SOMETHING TO SOMETHING ELSE.
IT'S NOT THE, IT'S NOT THE BACK OF A TURNAROUND SPACE.
I'M SURE THEY'LL GO THROUGH, UH, THROUGH THE, UH, CORRECT, UH, YOU KNOW, BUILDING AND EVERYTHING ELSE ON.
THEY'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT, BUT I WAS JUST WONDERING WHY THEY CHOSE TO DO IT THAT WAY.
IT SEEMED A LITTLE ODD, AND I KNOW THERE'S A SPECIAL CONDITION FOR THAT OR WHAT, UM, UH, COMMISSIONERS TO TLA.
IT'S USUALLY 24 FOOT, UH BY-THE-WAY UH, OR STREET SIZE.
YOU NORMALLY IT'S FOR THE FIRETRUCK GO IN AND OUT SO THAT THEY CAN GET OUT AND TURN IT AROUND.
THERE'S NO BUILDINGS OTHER THAN AUTOMOBILES WITHIN THAT BECKY LOT.
I DON'T SEE KIBERA WHY THE TWO FOOT OR FOUR FOOT WILL MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER.
CAUSE WE'RE NOT CONSIDERING IT FOR A BUILDING LIKE THE FOUR PARKING SPACES.
I'M JUST GOING FROM THE PARKING ORDINANCE.
THE CITY'S PARKING ORDINANCE SAYS IT HAS TO BE 24 FEET UNLESS YOU ONLY HAVE 25 FEET OF LENGTH, WHICH THEY HAVE MORE THAN 25 FEET OF LENGTH.
I'M JUST, I'M JUST GOING STRAIGHT FROM OUR ORDINANCE.
I'M SAYING, WHY ARE WE GIVING AN EXEMPTION TO OUR ORDINANCE, TO THEM WHEN THEY HAVE THE ROOM FOR IT? AND IT'S THE ANSWER IS BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO IT ONE WAY.
A LITTLE ODD, BUT THAT'S FINE.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? ALL RIGHT.
UH, LET'S OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WISH TO COMMENT SHOULD PUT IN THEIR COMMENTS UNDER THE Q AND A SECTION AT THIS POINT, UH, WHEN WE CAN FINISH THE PUBLIC HEARING, WE WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS PARTICULAR, MR. CHAIR, FOR THE RECORD, THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC ON THIS ITEM.
UM, WE HAVE A, I GUESS WE DON'T HAVE A SPEAKER CARD, BUT WE HAVE THE APPLICANT PRESENT, RICHARD HEIN AND, UH, RICHARD YOU'RE CURRENTLY, YOU HAVE YOUR MUTE AND VIDEO OFF, BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON YOUR ITEM, YOU CERTAINLY MAY.
UH, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW WHERE YOU CAN HEAR YOU? OKAY.
UM, UH, ONLY COMMENT IS, UM, TO, UH, MR. CABRERA, UH, THERE IS ACTUALLY A, UM, METAL, UM, PILING OR POLES, UH, THAT, UH, CANNOT BE REMOVED OUT OF THE, UM, THE NORTHERN SECTION OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS WHY THAT ONE LANE WAS DIMINISHED.
ALSO ALL CENTER, UH, PARKING SPACES AREN'T BEING UTILIZED.
UH, WE PUT THEM ON TO THE, UM, SURVEY, BUT ULTIMATELY ONLY THE VERY EXTENSIVE OUTER RIM OF THE PROPERTY WILL EVER BE.
DO ANY PLANNING, COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? NONE.
AND MR. CHAIR, COULD THE APPLICANT STATE HIS NAME AND HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PROJECT? YES.
MY NAME IS RICHARD HEIN, H E I N.
AND I'M THE, UH, PROJECT MANAGER, UH, ACTING FOR ULI AND YUSEF AND, UH, ASAP.
I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR YOU, RICHARD.
THANK YOU FOR STEPPING UP TO THE PODIUM, SO TO SPEAK.
[00:20:01]
I APPRECIATE THE HELP OF EVERYONE.DO I HAVE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
A MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER.
SERCO SECOND BIKE, MR. SO TLA, PLEASE VOTE BY ROLE HERRMANN.
PAUL CIRCLE APPROVED HUMBERT CABRERA.
SO TILA REBECCA POLLOCK ROOD APPROVE THIS MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY WITH MOROSE ABSENT.
SO THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.
I THINK I NEED TO USE A DIFFERENT WORD FOR SAYING YES TO THE MOTION RATHER THAN APPROVED BECAUSE THE NEXT MOTION WILL BE THE APPROVAL FOR THE ACTUAL AGENDA ITEM.
UH, IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION FOR THE COMMISSIONERS BEFORE WE MAKE A MOTION ON THE CUV, MR. CABRERA? WELL, I'M GOING TO, I'M GOING TO BE, UH, I'M IT'S, THIS IS A INTERESTING PROPERTY BECAUSE THERE'S NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.
UM, SO I, I THINK IT'S A GOOD USAGE.
I LOVE THE WAY THE, UH, THE, UM, THE TEAM WORKED TOGETHER TO, YOU KNOW, REALLY HONE IT DOWN.
I MEAN, THEY HAVE THE SPECIFICS ABOUT THE BARBED WIRE HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE LDP, THE STORMWATER REQUIREMENTS, THE ENCROACHMENT PERMIT, FIXING THE SIDEWALK, UM, THE LANDSCAPE PLANS.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS ON THIS ITEM BEFORE WE MAKE A MOTION? NO.
UM, I, WHEN I WAS LOOKING THIS OVER, I DID NOTE ONE THING, UH, STAFF ABOUT THE CEMENT WALL, IF WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT JUST A FLAT CEMENT WALL ON THE PUBLIC SPACE, BUT EVEN THIS, UH, I FORGET WHAT IT'S CALLED, BUT THAT'S SPLIT.
UM, I'M MISSING THE WORD FOR IT RIGHT NOW, BUT THAT TEXTURED CEMENT BLOCK, UH, JUST IT'S SPLIT FACE.
JUST SO THAT IT'S NOT A BLUNT SLAT WALL BEHIND THE, THE LANDSCAPING, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THIS IS A PERFECT USE FOR AN OTHERWISE UNUSABLE SITE.
I WOULD LIKE TO AGREE WITH COMMISSIONER SERCO AND JUST ADD THAT, YOU KNOW, BY ADDING SOME CREEPERS OR GROWING VINES ON THE WALL, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD USE.
IT'LL CLEAN IT UP THAT'S FOR SURE.
UH, AS ANYONE READY TO MAKE A MOTION, MR. GUERRERA I'D LIKE TO MOVE TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION, APPROVING THE SEQUEL EXEMPTION AND CPU NUMBER TWO, TWO, FIVE, NINE, UH, SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER CURETTE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER POLLOCK, RUDE FOLK BY ROLE OR MAN PAUL CIRCLE APPROVED HUMBER KIBERA APPROVE ANTHONY.
SO TAYLOR, HI, REBECCA POLLACK, RUDE.
THIS MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY WITH MOROSE ABSENT.
UH, THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S ACTION ON THIS ITEM IS FINAL UNLESS APPEALED WITH THE FILING OF THE FORM AND THE PAYMENT OF THE FILING FEE NO LATER THAN 5:00 PM ON MONDAY, JUNE 29TH, 2020, AND THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE.
UH, CONGRATULATIONS, MR. HEIN, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE IMPROVEMENT ON THAT PROPERTY INITIATE EVERYONE'S HELP, UH, HELP IN ON THIS.
AND YES, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
YES, A TEXTURED STONE, UH, IS GOING TO BE USED AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE JUST FLAT WALL.
UH, IT WILL LOOK AS COSMETIC, UH, AS THE REST OF THE FRONTAGE SEEMS TO BE AWESOME.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS NOW WE'VE ALREADY PASSED THE PUBLIC HEARING PART FOR THAT
[Public Hearing Item 3]
AGENDA ITEM NUMBERS THREE.THIS IS THE VISTA PINT AND SINGLE ROOM OCCUPANCY.
IT IS TIME FOR THE 12 MONTH REVIEW.
THIS DOES NOT SUBJECT TO SEQUENCE, AND THERE IS NO ACTION.
[00:25:01]
THIS IS JUST AN INFORMATIONAL REPORT STAFF.UM, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NUMBER TWO, TWO, FOUR ZERO WAS APPROVED BACK ON DECEMBER 5TH, 2018 FOR THE CONVERSION OF THE FORMER OF HOT PENNY IN MOTEL INTO A SINGLE ROOM OCCUPANCY OCCUPANCY, UH, CALLED VISTA PINES LOCATED AT 1549 EAST MAIN STREET.
IT INCLUDED A 75 ROOM HOTEL ROOM, UH, CONVERTED INTO A MIXTURE OF STUDIOS AND ONE BEDROOM UNITS FOR EXTENDED STAY.
UH, ONE OF THE CONDITIONS WAS FOR A SIX MONTH REVIEW AND A 12 MONTH REVIEW.
A SIX MONTH REVIEW WAS PRESENTED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON JULY 16TH, 2019, WHICH REPRESENTED A DECREASE IN CALLS OR CALLS FOR SERVICE FROM THE PREVIOUS MOST HOW YOU USE OR THIS COLD MONTH REVIEW.
IT INCLUDED TIMEFRAME FROM JANUARY 1ST THROUGH APRIL 20TH OF THIS YEAR, REFLECTING AND 24 CALLS OF SERVICE.
OVERALL, THE DATA SHOWS A DECREASE IN CALLS AND ANTICIPATES A CONTINUED DECREASE IN CALLS FOR THE REST OF THE CALENDAR YEAR.
ONE OF THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, UH, WAS FOR, FOR THE, UH, SRO WAS TO MAINTAIN FEWER THAN 90 CALLS FOR SERVICE PER YEAR.
THERE WERE NO CODE ENFORCEMENT VIOLATIONS IN 2018, UH, FOR THIS ITEM.
UM, AND, AND THE PROPERTY IS ENROLLED IN A CRIME FREE MULTI-HOUSING PROGRAM ON LEVI'S STAFF DOES NOT RECOMMEND ANY ACTION.
UM, AS ITEM IS AN INFORMATION LINE.
HEAR, UH, ANY CONVERSATION OR COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION, ANY COMPLAINTS AND THE NEIGHBORS OR ANYONE NEARBY THOSE WERE NO, THOSE WERE JUST INCLUDED IN THE 24.
UM, THERE, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS.
SO I WAS THERE ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO AND I SAW THE POOL WAS STILL, THERE IS THE POOL'S STILL THERE.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE ANY, UH, UPDATES ON THE, ON THE PROPERTY ITSELF.
UM, AS BEING AN INFORMATIONAL ITEM, I WAS JUST A LITTLE CONCERNED BECAUSE I SAW THAT THE ADA ACCESSIBILITY AROUND THE POOL INTO THE POOL WAS NOT ADEQUATE AT ALL.
SO I WAS WONDERING IF THEY WERE PLANNING TO KEEP IT OR NOT, THAT I WAS MORE WORRIED ABOUT THEM GETTING INTO TROUBLE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
SO MIGHT WANT TO PASS THAT ALONG TO THEM.
A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OWNER, UM, IS AVAILABLE TO PARTICIPATE AS WELL.
SO HE MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING THE HALF PENNY OR EXCUSE ME, THE, THIS DEFINES, UH, MR. TODD TUCK.
I KNOW YOU ARE IN THE AUDIENCE AND WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS WITH MR. PINES AS WELL AS THE OTHER SRO CONVERSIONS THAT YOU'RE WORKING ON.
[Public Hearing Item 4]
LET'S MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR.UH, THE PROJECT IS THE REGAL CINEMA ON SALE BEER AND WINE.
THIS IS ANOTHER 12 MONTHS REVIEW, NOT SUBJECT TO SEQUEL, AND IT IS AN INFORMATIONAL REPORT, UH, STAFF.
SO SIMILAR TO THE LAST ITEM, THIS IS FOR REGAL CINEMA AT PARKWAY PLAZA.
I DID RECEIVE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT BACK IN MAY OF 2018 TO ADD ALCOHOL SALES AS COMPLIMENTARY TO THE THEATER SERVICE.
AND ONE OF THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL DID REQUIRE A 12 MONTH REVIEW, UM, TO ENSURE THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE ALCOHOL SALES AT THAT LOCATION.
UM, THE LICENSE, THE ABC LICENSE WAS NOT ACTIVATED UNTIL DECEMBER OF 2018.
UM, SO THEY HAVE HAD A FULL YEAR AS OF JANUARY OF, OF THIS, UM, UH, DECEMBER OF 2019.
SO A FULL YEAR OF SERVICE, ALTHOUGH AS WE KNOW, DUE TO COVID, THEY HAVE SUSPENDED THEIR OPERATIONS.
UM, AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO CALLS FOR SERVICE ORIGINATING, UH, FROM THE THEATER AS A RESULT OF ALCOHOL USAGE THERE.
UM, AND NO ISSUES FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAVE BEEN NOTED.
UM, SO AS AN INFORMATIONAL ITEM, WE'RE JUST PRESENTING THIS TO YOU AND WE HAVE NO
[00:30:01]
FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS.UH, ANY QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS REGARDING THIS ITEM? NONE FOR ME, I HOPE THAT WE GET TO OPEN THINGS BACK UP AND SEE WHAT COMES OF IT.
[Public Hearing Item 5]
WE WILL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE.THE PROJECT NAME IS A REPORT ON GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE.
THIS IS ANOTHER INFORMATIONAL REPORT, NOT SUBJECT TO SECRET AND INFORMATION ONLY.
UM, SO AS MENTIONED, THIS IS JUST AN INFORMATIONAL REPORT TO UPDATE THE COMMISSION ON WHERE WE ARE WITH CONVINCING THE PROJECT TO UPDATE THE HOUSING ELEMENT, UH, UPDATE THE SAFETY ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN AND ADD A NEW ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT.
UM, SO THE ORIGINAL GENERAL PLAN FOR THE CITY WAS ADOPTED BACK IN MAY OF 1970 AND HAS HAD SOME MINIMAL UPDATING SINCE THEN KIND OF GOT A REFRESH IN 1990, BUT IT'S GENERALLY THE SAME DOCUMENT AS WAS ADOPTED BACK IN 1970.
AND THE HOUSING ELEMENT ITSELF, UH, WAS ADOPTED OR LAST UPDATED IN 2013.
SO THAT FOLLOWS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT CYCLE.
THERE'S A REGULAR EIGHT YEAR MANDATORY REVIEW AND UPDATE OF THAT ELEMENT.
UM, ALONG WITH THIS CURRENT REQUIRED HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE, UM, THIS TRIGGER THE NEED FOR US TO REVIEW AND UPDATE OUR SAFETY ELEMENT.
UM, SO THAT HAS, UM, BECOME PART OF THIS PROJECT.
AND THEN ALONG WITH THAT, UM, WHENEVER TWO ELEMENTS OF A GENERAL PLAN ARE UPDATED.
NOW THERE'S A NEW REQUIREMENT FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT.
SO THIS IS A NEW ELEMENT THAT WE WILL BE ADOPTING AS PART OF OUR GENERAL PLAN.
JUST GOING TO GO BRIEFLY OVER EACH ELEMENT, BUT REALLY THE, WHAT I WANT TO PRESENT TO YOU TODAY IS THE SCHEDULE AND KIND OF OUR PLAN FOR PUBLIC OUTREACH TO GET ANY FEEDBACK, UM, FROM THE COMMISSION AND HEAR WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE.
SO THE HOUSING ELEMENT IS THAT EIGHT YEAR PLAN FOR HOUSING.
IT IDENTIFIES HOW THE CITY IS GOING TO ACCOMMODATE GROWTH, UM, THROUGH IDENTIFYING SITES FOR HOUSING.
UM, AND THE BULK OF THE HOUSING ELEMENT IS THE SITES INVENTORY.
AND THIS IS WHERE WE IDENTIFY SITES THAT HAVE SUITABLE ZONING THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT OR NEW HOUSING CAN BE BUILT.
AND, UH, THE, THE STATE IDENTIFIES A NUMBER OF UNITS THAT NEED TO BE BUILT PER OUR REGION, AND THEN OUR REGION DISTRIBUTES THOSE THROUGH SANDAG TO EACH MEMBER CITY.
UH, SO AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN HERE, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE CITY OF OKLAHOMA WAS ALLOCATED ABOUT 3,200 UNITS THAT WE NEED TO PLAN FOR IN VARIOUS INCOME CATEGORIES.
SO VERY LOW, LOW, MODERATE, AND ABOVE MODERATE, UM, AND HOW WE PLAN FOR THESE DIFFERENT INCOME CATEGORIES IS TO IDENTIFY, UM, HOUSING THAT ZONED AT NATURALLY AFFORDABLE LEVELS.
SO THE LOWER INCOME CATEGORY IS ACCOMMODATED ON, UM, HOUSING SITES THAT ALLOW DENSER HOUSING.
SO, UM, MORE LIKE TOWNHOMES AND APARTMENT BUILDINGS AND MODERATE ABOVE IS TYPICALLY CAN BE ACCOMMODATED ON LOWER DENSITY, SINGLE FAMILY ZONING.
SO THE BIG PART OF THE PROJECT IS, IS IDENTIFYING THOSE SITES AND DETERMINING THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY'RE APPROPRIATE FOR DEVELOPMENT, AND WE HAVE THE ZONING IN PLACE.
NOW, THE CITY IS NOT OBLIGATED TO BUILD THOSE UNITS.
UM, THE PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRY FOR THE MOST PART BUILDS THOSE UNITS.
WE DO PARTNER SOMETIMES WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, HOUSING PRODUCTION IS HANDLED BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR.
THE OTHER, UH, COMPONENTS OF OUR HOUSING ELEMENT WILL BE A NEEDS ASSESSMENT, UM, WHERE WE'D LOOK AT THE NEEDS OF VARIOUS GROUPS, POPULATION GROUPS.
UM, WE LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, HOMELESS, LARGE FAMILIES, UM, SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLDS AND THAT TYPE OF THING, AND IDENTIFY WHAT THEIR PARTICULAR NEEDS FOR HOUSING ARE.
WE ALSO LOOK AT HOUSING CONSTRAINTS AND THOSE CAN BE CONSTRAINTS LIKE GOVERNMENTAL CONSTRAINTS, UM, UH, ZONING THAT MAY BE TOO RESTRICTIVE, UM, OR OTHER TYPES OF CONSTRAINTS, LIKE, UH, THE AVAILABILITY OF FUNDING, WE DEVELOP GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR HOUSING.
UM, AND THEN WE COMPLIMENT THOSE WITH PROGRAMS AND IDENTIFYING FUNDING TO IMPLEMENT THOSE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.
SO THAT IN A NUTSHELL IS KIND OF WHAT WE'RE EMBARKING ON IN THIS PROCESS, UH, WITH OUR HOUSING.
YEAH, THE NEXT COMPONENT OF THIS PROJECT IS THE ELEMENT, UH, SAFETY ELEMENT UPDATE.
WE HAVE AN EXISTING SAFETY ELEMENT.
SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF REVIEWING THAT, TO DETERMINE WHERE WE NEED TO UPDATE IT.
AND WE KNOW SOME THINGS HAVE CHANGED OVER THE PAST FEW DECADES.
AND SO THERE WERE SOME NEW COMPONENTS OF THAT SUCH AS CLIMATE ADAPTATION, UM, BUT REALLY WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE SAFETY ELEMENT
[00:35:01]
IS BASICALLY TO IDENTIFY WHAT THE HAZARDS AND RISKS ARE IN OUR COMMUNITY.UM, DO THINGS LIKE FLOODING AND WILDFIRE AND IDENTIFY HOW WE CAN MITIGATE OR REDUCE THOSE RISKS, UM, AS THEY MIGHT AFFECT PEOPLE AS WELL AS PROPERTY.
AND THEN THE LAST COMPONENT OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT.
UM, AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE IS SOMEWHAT OF A NEWER CONCEPT IN THE PLANNING WORLD.
UM, BUT WHAT IT REALLY MEANS IS THAT IN CALIFORNIA SPECIFICALLY, THE STATE HAS IDENTIFIED THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN AREAS, UM, THAT ARE UNDER RESOURCED.
SO THESE ARE AREAS THAT HAVE HIGHER UNEMPLOYMENT RATES, UM, HAVE HIGHER RENT BURDENS AND HIGHER RATES OF POVERTY, BUT THEY ALSO EXPERIENCE ALSO HIGH RATES OF POLLUTION, UM, SUCH AS POOR AIR QUALITY OR PROXIMITY TO, UM, UH, SITES THAT ARE POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATED.
UM, SO THE COMBINATION OF THOSE TWO FACTORS IS REALLY WHAT MAKES A DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY AND THE PURPOSE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT IS TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN MITIGATE SOME OF THAT, UM, THROUGH POLICIES AND THE GENERAL PLAN TO REDUCE POLLUTION IN THOSE COMMUNITIES, REDUCE THE HEALTH RISKS, UH, FOR THINGS LIKE ASTHMA, UM, UM, AND OBESITY AND, AND REALLY TO IMPROVE THE COMMUNITY'S ACCESS TO, UM, MITIGATING FACTORS, SUCH AS HEALTHY FOOD AND SAFE AND SANITARY HOUSING AND RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES.
AND THERE ARE TO IDENTIFY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES IN OKLAHOMA.
UM, AND THESE ARE IDENTIFIED THROUGH CALENVIROSCREEN.
THEY LOOK AT 20 DIFFERENT CRITERIA, AND THOSE ARE THE TWO CENSUS TRACKS THAT ARE SHOWN ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN, UM, ON THE WESTERN PART OF OUR CITY, ALONG THE JOHNSON AVENUE CORRIDOR.
SO OUR FOCUS FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT WILL BE ON THOSE TWO COMMUNITIES AND, UM, YOU KNOW, DETERMINING WHAT WE CAN DO ON THE POLICY SIDE TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS FOR RESIDENTS IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS.
MAY I ASK A QUESTION, UH, FROM WHEN WE REDID THE, WELL, WHEN WE CREATED THE CITY COUNCIL, UM, AREAS, WE, WE DIVIDED THE CITY UP AND THERE WAS A TOTAL, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY OF 22 PERMANENT RESIDENTS IN THAT UPPER ZONE, EVERYBODY ELSE, IT MAYBE I'M BLURRED ON THE BOTTOM, BUT THE PAST THE BURN AND IT'S LARGELY INDUSTRIAL.
AND THAT IS MOSTLY OUR INDUSTRIAL AREAS RIGHT THERE FOR A LARGE PART OF THAT IS INDUSTRIAL.
SO WE HAVE THE GILLESPIE AIRPORT ON THE NORTHERN SIDE, AND THEN A GOOD PORTION BRADLEY DOWN TO FLETCHER PARKWAY IS INDUSTRIAL.
UM, THERE IS SOME RESIDENTIAL KIND OF ALONG THE WESTERN, KIND OF THE SOUTHWESTERN SIDE OF THAT CENSUS TRACK.
AND ALSO ON THE SOUTHEASTERN SIDE, UM, THE SMALLER CENSUS TRACK THAT LOOKS LIKE A TRIANGLE, UH, RIGHT ALONG ALCOHOL BOULEVARD, UM, THAT HAS, UH, THAT AS FAIRLY RESIDENTIAL, BUT ALL TOLD WE ONLY HAVE ABOUT, I BELIEVE 850 HOUSEHOLDS, UM, WITHIN BOTH OF THESE TWO CENSUS TRACKS.
UH, WHEN YOU SAY ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND TO MITIGATE SOME OF THE PROBLEMS IN THAT COMMUNITY, UH, IS THERE ANY SPECIFIC REGARDING WHAT CAN BE DONE TO MITIGATE THE AREA? SO THE, THE BEST PRACTICES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE REALLY INVOLVES A LOT OF INTENSIVE PUBLIC OUTREACH TOWARDS THE RESIDENTS AND THE COMMUNITY, UM, TO FIGURE OUT THE TYPES OF THINGS, UM, AND REMEDIES THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY DESIRE OR THAT WOULD BE MOST BENEFICIAL, UM, FOR THOSE RESIDENTS IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS.
UM, THERE'S, THERE'S EXAMPLES THAT WE CAN GIVE, UM, YOU KNOW, IN INSTANCES WHERE YOU MIGHT HAVE HIGH RATES OF, OF OBESITY OR, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, LACK OF ACTIVITY, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN, UM, YOU CAN OFFER UP SUCH SOLUTIONS AS YOU KNOW, IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN, UM, YOU KNOW, ACTIVATE SOME PARK SPACE OR, UM, YOU KNOW, FIND POCKET PARKLAND, OR MAYBE IT'S, THERE'S A LACK OF A SAFE CONNECTION.
SO MAYBE WE NEED A, UM, A SIDEWALK OR A LARGER SIDEWALK OR BIKE LANES IN THIS SPECIFIC AREA TO INCREASE ACCESS TO THOSE RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.
UM, IN SOME COMMUNITIES, THEY FOUND THAT THERE ARE WHAT ARE CALLED FOOD DESERTS, UM, WHERE FOLKS
[00:40:01]
ARE LACKING ACCESS TO FRESH FOODS.UM, SO MAYBE YOUR, YOUR STORES, YOUR CLOSEST STORE IS, YOU KNOW, MAYBE A MINI-MART THAT DOESN'T SELL FRESH PRODUCE AND, AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
SO HOW DO WE GET HEALTHY, YOU KNOW, HEALTHY FOOD INTO COMMUNITIES WHERE IT MAY BE LACKING THAT MAY NOT BE A, A BIG ISSUE IN THESE PARTICULAR AREAS, BUT IT HAS BEEN ANOTHER AREAS.
UM, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, SAFE AND SANITARY HOUSING, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, REACHING OUT TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE THE CONCERNS THERE REGARDING HOUSING? DO THEY FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE ACCESS TO SAFE HOUSING, UM, OR, OR WHAT COULD THE CITY DO TO, TO HELP SUPPORT THAT? WHAT I'M HEARING IS, UH, THE CITY IN ESSENCE BECOME SOMEWHAT OF A MOTHER WHAT'S INTO THE FAMILY LIFE AND SEES WHAT IT CAN DO, LIKE A SOCIAL WORKER, TEAM PERSON, SEE WHAT CAN DO TO HELP THOSE FAMILIES WITHIN THAT COMMUNITY.
THIS SEEMS TO ME LIKE STEPPING ON PEOPLE'S TOES A LITTLE BIT AND MAYBE GOING INTO, UH, PEOPLE'S, UH, LIBERTIES AND FREEDOMS UNTIL FAR AS, UH, WANTING TO LIVE A LIFE THAT THEY THINK IS BEST FOR THEM IN ESSENCE.
AND THAT'S THE CITY'S PLAN TO POUR MONEY INTO THESE COMMUNITIES.
UH, BUT I THINK IT'S, UH, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AS A PLUME TO ME THAT CAN BE USED, UH, UH, SUBJUGATE, CERTAIN AREAS OF PEOPLE'S LIVES.
AND ALSO IT CAN BE USED FOR GOOD.
IT CAN BE, I THINK I CAN SEE IT GOING EITHER WAY.
I HAVE A LOT OF CONCERN REGARDING ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, THOSE WORDS, BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE LIBERTY IS PROMULGATED AND THAT, UH, PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN CULTURES AND THEIR OWN NORMS IN THEIR OWN LIFE.
SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? I'M ALYSSA.
I, AND I THINK THE RECENT THAT THIS HAS COME OUT AS, UM, A PRIORITY IN THE STATE IS BECAUSE, UM, IS, YOU KNOW, WHETHER BY ACTIVE, UM, YOU KNOW, CHOICES OR DECISIONS, OR SIMPLY BY, YOU KNOW, INACTIVITY, UM, HAVE ALLOWED SOME OF THESE COMMUNITIES TO BEAR THE BRUNT OF, UM, SOME OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION THAT'S BEEN EXPERIENCED.
SO I, I, WHEN YOU GO AND YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING LIKE CALENVIROSCREEN, YOU SEE HOW MANY LEAKING UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS, UM, AND SITES ARE CONTAMINATED WITHIN THESE AREAS.
UM, YOU SEE THE, SO YOU SEE THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, YOU SEE THE VERY POOR AIR QUALITY AND THE REALLY HIGH RATES OF ASTHMA.
AND BECAUSE THESE FACTORS ARE COMPOUNDED WITH ALSO THE SOCIAL FACTORS, RIGHT? SO THE, THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, LIKE HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT RATES, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, LOW BIRTH WEIGHTS FOR CHILDREN AND THINGS LIKE THAT, UM, THAT THE CITY ACTIVELY TRYING TO WORK TO IMPROVE AIR QUALITY.
SO, AND THAT COULD BE THINGS LIKE, UM, HAVING NEW RECOMMENDATIONS ON SIGHTING, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, POTENTIALLY NEW LAND USES THAT COULD FURTHER EXACERBATE THAT AIR QUALITY.
UM, THERE'S KIND OF A WIDE HOST OF DIFFERENT POTENTIAL POLICIES THAT COULD BE IN AN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT.
UM, AND WE'RE JUST KIND OF SCRATCHING THE SURFACE.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING ISSUES.
UM, AND THEN WE WOULD LISTEN TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
UM, AND THEN WE WOULD COME BACK OBVIOUSLY TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CITY COUNCIL WITH OUR RECOMMENDATIONS IN TERMS OF POLICIES, UM, FOR ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE.
SO THE INTENT ISN'T, ISN'T REALLY TO, YOU KNOW, UM, IMPINGE ON ANYONE'S FREEDOMS IT'S TO RECOGNIZE THIS LONGSTANDING BURDEN THAT THESE COMMUNITIES HAVE FACED AND, AND TRY TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD TO SOME EXTENT, UM, SO THAT SOME OF THESE UNDER-RESOURCED AREAS AREN'T EXPERIENCING, UM, THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF, OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT AMBIGUOUS TO ME THEN AGAIN, AS WE COME TO THE BRIDGE, WE'LL CROSS IT AT THAT TIME.
THANK YOU, ALYSSA DISTRICT CABERA WELL, I, I, I DID MANAGE TO, UH, ATTEND THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACADEMY DURING THE WHOLE COVID SITUATION, RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING.
AND ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE WAS A VERY, VERY HOT TOPIC.
[00:45:01]
WHAT MELISSA IS SAYING.UM, IT IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY IS CONSIDERING AND TO COMMISSIONER, SO TOTALLY SO TAILIES, UM, UH, WORRY IS ACTUALLY ONE THAT I KIND OF TOOK IN THERE AS WELL, AND THAT IT, IT CAN BECOME VERY, VERY BROAD, VERY, VERY QUICKLY, OR IT COULD BE NARROWED TO WHAT IT SHOULD BE.
SO IT'S A VERY, UH, UH, CONTENTIOUS KIND OF A THING AMONGST MANY CITIES UP AND DOWN CALIFORNIA.
SOME ARE INTERPRETING IT VERY BROADLY.
UM, AND OTHERS, I THINK LIKE ALCOHOL WOULD, WOULD PROBABLY, AS MELISSA STATED, TAKE IT TO THE, THROUGH THE CORRECT STEPS IN THE CORRECT ROUTES AND TO HAVE A CHECKS AND BALANCES.
I THINK WE'LL SEE WHAT IT, WHAT IT, WHAT IT ENCOVERS IN THE FUTURE.
SO I JUST HAVE A COUPLE MORE SLIDES.
UH, ONE IS JUST, UH, THERE'S A MORE DETAILED SCHEDULE THAT I ATTACHED TO YOUR GENDER REPORT.
UM, BUT OVERALL, WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THE PROJECT, WE HAVE A CONSULTANT TEAM THAT'S ASSISTING US, UM, WITH THAT, WHICH IS, UM, DO DECK ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND SAFETY, AND THEN VERONICA TAMMANY ASSOCIATES ON THE HOUSING ELEMENT.
SO THEY ARE COMPILING SOME EXISTING CONDITIONS, LOOKING AT SOME DATA AND STAFF IS TAKING THE LEAD ON THE PUBLIC OUTREACH.
UM, AND SO, UM, WE'LL DISCUSS THAT NEXT, BUT THE, THE SUMMER IS REALLY THE FOCUS ON OUR PUBLIC OUTREACH AND IN, UM, BRINGING THOSE EXISTING CONDITIONS TOGETHER.
AND THE FALL, THE FOCUS WILL BE, YOU KNOW, CONTINUED PUBLIC OUTREACH, BUT ALSO DRAFTING THE ELEMENTS.
SO WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AT VARIOUS POINTS, UM, TO GET RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH POLICIES AND THEN IN THE WINTER, UH, THE HOPE IS THAT WE'LL HAVE THOSE ELEMENTS OUT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW.
WE'LL BE CONTINUING TO REFINE THOSE THROUGH PUBLIC INPUT AND COMPLETE THE SEQUEL PROCESS FOR THOSE ELEMENTS.
AND WE'LL BE BRINGING THAT WHOLE PACKAGE BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CITY COUNCIL IN THE SPRING.
UH, WE DO HAVE A STATUTORY DEADLINE OF APRIL, 2021 TO HAVE THE HOUSING ELEMENT ADOPTED.
UM, YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A CHANGE IN THAT DEADLINE, BUT THERE HAS BEEN A REQUEST, UM, TO THE STATE THAT THEY CONSIDER EXTENDING THAT IN LIGHT OF CIRCUMSTANCES.
SO WE'LL, I'LL KEEP YOU ON THAT IN TERMS OF PUBLIC OUTRAGE.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY A CHALLENGE DURING THE BEST OF TIMES, BUT DURING THE COVID ERA, UM, THE BIG CHALLENGE FOR THIS CITY IS, IS HOW WE DO PUBLIC OUTREACH.
WHEN WE CAN'T HAVE MEETINGS, WE CAN'T MEET IN PERSON.
UM, AND SO WHAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR IS WE PUT TOGETHER A PROJECT WEBPAGE, THAT'S THE CITY OF L CONE DOT U S SLASH FOUR SLASH PLAN THAT YOU SEE ON YOUR PAGE THERE.
UM, SO WE HAVE INFORMATION ON EACH ELEMENT AND THAT'S KIND OF OUR REPOSITORY OF, OF ALL THE DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, DOCUMENTS AND TOOLS THAT WE'RE USING.
WE HAVE DEVELOPED A GIS STORY MAP FOR THE HOUSING ELEMENTS.
SO THAT'S AN INTERACTIVE MAP THAT YOU CAN, UM, YOU KNOW, PLAY WITH SOME OF THE DATA THAT'S USED TO EVALUATE SITES FOR OUR SITES INVENTORY.
WE HAVE A HOUSING ELEMENT SURVEY THAT'S BEEN PUBLISHED.
UM, SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW, BROADLY ASKING MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY TO IDENTIFY HOUSING PRIORITIES.
AND WE HAVE BEEN PUSHING THAT OUT THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA.
UM, I BELIEVE IT WENT OUT LAST WEEK AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO PUSH THINGS OUT THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA.
OUR HOPE IS ALSO TO USE SOME WEBINARS, SO SIMILAR TO THE FORMAT THAT WE'RE USING RIGHT NOW, UM, FOR, YOU KNOW, STAFF TO PARTICIPATE WITH THE PUBLIC AND, UH, AN, A DIALOGUE.
AND THEN WE HAVE ALREADY PUBLISHED IN AN ARTICLE IN THE LAST GATEWAY NEWSLETTER AND WE'LL BE DOING SO, UM, AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN THE PROJECT AND ALL OF OUR GATEWAYS, WHICH GO TO OUR RESIDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
AND RIGHT NOW OUR FOCUS IS ON STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS.
SO WE'RE REACHING OUT TO NON-PROFITS AND INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY IN AND AROUND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND WHERE, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES AND, AND, UM, START TO CRAFT, UH, UM, AT LEAST A FRAMEWORK FOR WHERE WE WANT TO GO FORWARD IN THAT.
SO OUR HOPE IS THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU, AS PLANNING COMMISSIONERS CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE OUTREACH, BUT ALSO SHARE IT WITHIN YOUR CIRCLES, UM, AND PROVIDE US FEEDBACK IN ANY OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU SEE OUT IN THE COMMUNITY FOR US TO GET THE WORD OUT, BUT ALSO TO ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY.
SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR THIS INFORMATIONAL UPDATE, AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE FEEDBACK THAT YOU PROVIDE.
UH, MS. UH, COMMISSIONER PAULA GRUDEN
[00:50:02]
JUST REALLY QUICK, CAUSE I'M DOING OUT REACH BEFORE WITH OTHER THINGS LIKE WITH REBUILDING TOGETHER AND OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT, TRYING TO GET THE LOCAL PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY.CAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES WHO KNOW THE COMMUNITY THE BEST, BUT I KNOW WITH COVID, IT'S A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES LIKE THE CHURCH OR LIKE THE LOCAL REC CENTERS OR THINGS.
AND I KNOW IN THAT AREA, THERE REALLY ISN'T A LOT OF REC CENTERS PER SE, BUT LIKE CHURCHES AND I'M SURE, YOU KNOW, KNOWING THE CITY OF ALCOHOL AND YOU KNOW, WHO THOSE BIGGER IN THOSE COMMUNITIES ARE THAT LIKE TO SPEAK OUT, BUT WITH COVID GOING ON, HOW ARE, I THINK YOU SAID SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT WHEN IT'S KIND OF BACK UP AND RUNNING, ARE YOU GONNA REACH OUT TO MAYBE SOME LOCAL CHURCHES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO SOME OF THE BIGGER PLAYERS THAT ARE REALLY IN, IN DEVELOPING THOSE COMMUNITIES BECAUSE IT'S MOSTLY, THERE'S A LOT OF RENTALS THERE, THERE ARE SOME, YOU KNOW, HOUSINGS AND THEN THAT CONVERSIONS THAT WERE IN THOSE AREAS.
SO BECAUSE OF THE BUSINESSES THAT THE RESIDENTS IS, WHO WE'RE KIND OF FOCUSING ON, BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES WHO ARE LIVING AT EVERY SINGLE DAY.
UM, SO WHAT'S THE PLAN THEN GOING FORWARD, ARE YOU GONNA REACH OUT TO ANY OF THE CHURCHES OR LOCAL REC CENTERS OR MAYBE ANY CLUBS THAT PLAY IN THAT AREA? LIKE, YOU KNOW, I KNOW A LOT OF SPORTS LIKE SOCCER AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
CAUSE AS WELL AS PARK IN THAT AREA OR NO, NO WELLS, THAT'S A LITTLE FURTHER UP.
YEAH, NO, THE WRECKS, THE OTHER REC IS A FLETCHER PARKWAY, SO THAT'S OUT OF THE AREA, BUT THEY'RE ALL KIND OF CLOSE TO THAT LITTLE POCKET OF THINGS.
SO I WAS JUST MAKING SUGGESTIONS, BUT, BUT YOU'LL HAVE UPDATES AS THINGS GET OPENED UP AGAIN.
UH, COMMISSIONER CARERRA, THE, UH, SRO IS HOW DID THEY CALCULATE IN THE NUMBER
I THINK IT WAS FOR THE HOUSING.
ALL OF THE SRO IS CALCULATED TO THAT MIX.
SO THE WAY THAT WE ARE ABLE TO, UM, ACCOUNT FOR THOSE IS IF WE CAN DETERMINE THAT THEY MEET AFFORDABILITY LEVELS.
UM, SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT INCOME RESTRICTED LIKE OTHER UNITS, BUT WE HAVE TO DETERMINE THAT THOSE WOULD BE AFFORDABLE TO FAMILIES EARNING, UM, A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THE AMI TO INCLUDE THEM WITHIN A LOWER INCOME CATEGORY.
UM, SO THAT WOULD BE OUR PLAN, UH, WOULD BE TO BE ABLE TO USE THOSE, TO COUNT TOWARDS OUR LOWER INCOME.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, FEEDBACK OR DIRECTION? I THINK THIS IS ONE THAT AS IT DEVELOPS WILL, AS YOU GIVE US MORE INFORMATION, WE'LL BE ABLE TO BOUNCE THAT BACK JUST FOR THE RECORD.
THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC.
[Item 5]
THE AGENDA, WE'VE GOT A STAFF COMMUNICATIONS.I HAVE JUST A REAL BRIEF DEMONSTRATION.
UM, I HAD MENTIONED THIS, I THINK IN SOME OF OUR PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS, WE WERE MOVING, UH, TOWARDS A NEW ONLINE, UM, PROJECT ASSISTANCE CENTER.
SO BASICALLY A PLANNING AND PERMITTING PORTAL ONLINE AND WE HAVE MOVED FORWARD, UM, VERY QUICKLY, UM, SINCE COVID AND WE HAVE BASICALLY MOVED OUR SERVICES ONLINE, UM, TO THE COMMUNITY.
AND I WANTED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT BRIEFLY TO THE COMMISSION JUST SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE'RE OFFERING, UM, AND YOU KNOW, HOW FOLKS CAN ACCESS OUR SERVICES ONLINE THROUGH WHAT WE AFFECTIONATELY CALL POCCO OR PROJECT ASSISTANCE CENTER ONLINE.
SO I'M GOING TO SHARE MY SCREEN HERE FOR YOU FOLKS.
UM, AND THIS IS THE MAIN PAGE AND IT CAN BE REACHED BY GOING TO JUST CITY OF ALCOHOL PHONE DOT U S FORWARD SLASH P A C O OR POCCO.
UM, YOU CAN ALSO ACCESS IT FROM OUR, OUR CITY WEBPAGE AND, UM, YOU BASICALLY CAN APPLY FOR PLANS AND PERMITS.
YOU CAN PAY FEES, YOU CAN SUBMIT PLANS, RECEIVE REDLINE, COMMENTS, TRACK YOUR STATUS REQUEST INSPECTIONS, UM, ALL FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR EASY CHAIR NOW.
UM, AND SO WE FOUND GREAT VALUE IN THIS, UM, SINCE THE PANDEMIC STARTED, UM, AND WE'VE QUITE EXPANDED OUR SERVICES.
SO THE FIRST, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE A NEW USER TO, UH, THE PROJECT ASSISTANTS THAT ARE ONLINE, YOUR FIRST STEP WOULD BE TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT, UM, WHICH YOU WOULD DO BY CLICKING REGISTER ONLINE HERE IN THE CORNER.
[00:55:01]
I'VE ALREADY LOGGED IN HERE.UM, AND ONCE YOU'RE THERE YOU SAY YOU WOULD ALREADY SUBMITTED SOME PLANS OR PERMITS.
UM, YOU COULD GO TO YOUR DASHBOARD TO SEE THE STATUS.
I HAVE SOME IN HERE, SOME ARE TESTS AND, UH, SOME ARE VARIOUS, UH, PERMITS THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING ON.
HOPEFULLY WE DIDN'T LOSE OUR, OUR INTERNET.
IT'S LOADING SLOWLY TODAY WHILE IT'S LOADING.
JUST AS A QUESTION I SUBMITTED A PERMIT TWO YEARS AGO, WOULD THAT SHOW UP IN MY PERMIT SECTION A GOOD QUESTION.
UM, I WILL GO BACK AND SHOW YOU, UM, THE LINK TO OUR, UH, PUBLIC RECORDS PORTAL.
UM, SO YOU CAN CHECK THAT OUT.
THAT'S WHERE THE ARCHIVED PERMITS WOULD BE ACCESSIBLE.
THIS WOULD BE, UM, WE WENT LIVE WITH THE SYSTEM IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR.
UM, WE STARTED A SOFT LAUNCH, UH, THE BEGINNING OF MARCH WITH THE ONLINE SYSTEM, UM, AND WHICH HAS NOW KIND OF BECOME EVERYTHING.
SO, UM, BUT IF YOU HAD STARTED ONE SINCE OCTOBER, YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE IT ONLINE HERE.
AND SO WHAT THIS SHOWS YOU, IT SHOWS YOU, UM, I HAVE QUITE A FEW IN HERE, SO HOPEFULLY UNLESS YOU'RE A, PERHAPS A SOLAR CONTRACTOR, YOU WOULDN'T SO MANY, UM, ALL OF YOUR PERMITS, INCLUDING THOSE THAT MIGHT NEED SOME ATTENTION OR FOR YOU TO DO SOMETHING.
UM, WE'LL GRAB, UH, AN EXAMPLE OUT OF HERE, UM, TOWARDS THE BOTTOM.
SO YOU CAN SEE HERE, THIS ONE IS A TEMPORARY USE PERMIT FOR AN OUTDOOR SALES EVENT, AND YOU CAN CLICK ON IT AND GO RIGHT TO THAT PERMIT SCREEN AND SEE WHERE IT IS AND THE STATUS.
UM, SO IT NEEDS TO BE RESUBMITTED.
I THINK THE INTERACTION BETWEEN ZOOM WEBINAR AND THE INTERNET ARE A LITTLE SLOW RIGHT NOW.
UM, YOU CAN ALSO SEE IF THERE'S ANY FEES THAT YOU NEED TO PAY AND GO AHEAD AND PAY THEM ONLINE HERE.
UM, AND, UH, THERE'S JUST A LOT OF INFORMATION AVAILABLE.
SO THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF VALUE IN THAT, BUT THEN I THINK, UM, WHAT YOU CAN SEE IN THE APPLICATION TO LET ME JUST MOVE MY SCREEN OVER HERE, UM, IS WHAT'S AVAILABLE TO YOU.
SO ANY BUILDING PERMIT CAN BE SUBMITTED THROUGH A BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION.
UM, WE'VE MADE THIS KIND OF A, AN EASY ONE PERMIT APPLICATION THAT STAFF ON THE BACKEND CAN THEN CREATE THE APPROPRIATE TYPE OF BUILDING PERMIT OUT OF, UM, YOU CAN APPLY FOR TEMPORARY USE PERMITS, TOBACCO, RETAILER LICENSES, TRANSPORTATION, PERMITS, ENCROACHMENT, PERMITS, GRADING PLANS.
UM, AND THEN FOR THE PLANNING PERMITS THAT YOU ALL SEE AT PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, WE START THOSE THROUGH A PRE SUBMITTAL REVIEW AND YOUR PLAN.
SO WE EVEN HAVE OUR ENTITLEMENT APPLICANTS SUBMITTING THE PRE SUBMITTAL THROUGH A TACO, AND THEN THEY'RE ABLE TO THEN, UM, ALSO SUBMIT OR THEIR ENTITLEMENTS AS WELL.
SO THAT IT'S VERY, UM, EASY TO USE USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE.
I'M JUST SHOWING YOU HERE, WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE TO JUST START ADDING THE LOCATION.
SO TO YOUR QUESTION, CHAIRMAN SERCO, UM, IF YOU GO BACK TO THE HOME PAGE FOR EXISTING PERMITS, THIS ALCOHOL AND PUBLIC RECORDS PORTAL, UM, THAT GOES DIRECTLY INTO OUR LASER FISH ARCHIVING SYSTEM, AND YOU CAN SEARCH, UH, OH, I THINK MY LAPTOP MAY NOT BE ENABLED FOR THIS, BUT LET'S GIVE IT A GO.
UM, YOU CAN SEARCH FOR, YOU KNOW, BY ADDRESS, UM, AND IT'LL SHOW YOU THE PERMIT DOCUMENT, NOT THE PLANS, UM, BECAUSE PLANS ARE, UM, WHEN THEY'RE STAMPED OR, UH, PROPRIETARY.
SO THOSE HAVE TO GO THROUGH A RELEASE PROCESS, BUT YOU CAN SEARCH OUR ARCHIVES, BUT ALSO AS LINKS TO OTHERS, UM, ARCHIVES THAT'S BASICALLY BESIDES BUILDING PERMITS.
SO YOU CAN ACCESS OLD CITY COUNCIL AGENDAS, RESER'S ORDINANCE OF THOSE TYPES OF THINGS AS WELL.
SO SHARE THE INFORMATION IF YOU CAN.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET IT OUT THERE TO, UM, FOLKS THAT, THAT WORK WITH US AND SUBMIT PERMITS AND PLANS.
AND I THINK IT'S BEEN GENERALLY WELL RECEIVED.
WE'VE HAD SOME BUGS TO WORK OUT.
WE'RE CONTINUING TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS.
UM, BUT WE, WE LIKE THE FLEXIBILITY.
WELL, UH, I, I KNOW THAT MY TEAM LOVES IT.
UM, I, I JUST WOULD LIKE TO, UH, WHO DO WE CONTACT IF THERE ARE SOME BUGS WE SEE, AND WE WANT TO JUST GIVE SOME INPUT, MELISSA, YOU CAN DEFINITELY REACH OUT TO ME.
I'M ACTUALLY ONE OF THE FOLKS ON THE TEAM WHO CONFIGURED THE WHOLE SYSTEM.
SO I'M AN ADMIN, SO YOU DEFINITELY REACH OUT
[01:00:01]
TO ME.THANK YOU FOR THE DEMONSTRATION.
