taking food 75 00:05:58,452 --> 00:06:00,755 out to communities and regions 76 00:06:00,755 --> 00:06:03,224 across central oregon that don't 77 00:06:03,224 --> 00:06:05,760 have access to food resources. 78 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,463 We're going out to food deserts 79 00:06:08,463 --> 00:06:09,464 with the mobile food pantry to 80 00:06:09,464 --> 00:06:10,865 help deploy. 81 00:06:10,865 --> 00:06:13,268 The network has experienced a 82 00:06:13,268 --> 00:06:13,668 cut prior to the snap 83 00:06:13,668 --> 00:06:15,668 disruption. 84 00:06:15,837 --> 00:06:18,837 We lost commodities from the 85 00:06:19,874 --> 00:06:22,210 federal government, 28% of our 86 00:06:22,210 --> 00:06:24,412 food volume that we're used to. 87 00:06:24,412 --> 00:06:25,814 The thing of significant note of 88 00:06:25,814 --> 00:06:28,214 this disruption and government 89 00:06:28,617 --> 00:06:30,418 shut down, the last time we were 90 00:06:30,418 --> 00:06:32,200 flooded with food commodities. 91 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,322 We had a significant amount of 92 00:06:34,322 --> 00:06:35,790 food to move, almost more than 93 00:06:35,790 --> 00:06:37,790 we could handle. 94 00:06:38,559 --> 00:06:38,827 This time is extremely 95 00:06:38,827 --> 00:06:40,827 different. 96 00:06:40,896 --> 00:06:43,640 We had a shortage we were 97 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,500 informed of in MARCH and started 98 00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:47,903 feeling by MAY and that has 99 00:06:47,903 --> 00:06:50,710 disrupted food flow across 100 00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:51,373 central oregon and to our 101 00:06:51,373 --> 00:06:51,940 partner agencies and mobile 102 00:06:51,940 --> 00:06:53,542 distributions. 103 00:06:53,542 --> 00:06:56,542 One thing that is really 104 00:06:56,545 --> 00:06:58,945 interesting, every meal provided 105 00:06:59,548 --> 00:07:03,850 by -- for every meal provided 106 00:07:03,850 --> 00:07:04,520 by food banks, snap serves nine. 107 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,655 It's the problem that no system 108 00:07:06,655 --> 00:07:07,880 can respond to and meet the 109 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,880 need. 110 00:07:10,292 --> 00:07:11,460 If you think of the fact that we 111 00:07:11,460 --> 00:07:14,460 need $7 million a month to 112 00:07:14,830 --> 00:07:16,498 respond to this across oregon 113 00:07:16,498 --> 00:07:18,567 and we bring in millions of 114 00:07:18,567 --> 00:07:20,669 pounds of food a year and that's 115 00:07:20,669 --> 00:07:23,805 not enough to meet the need. 116 00:07:23,805 --> 00:07:26,205 The need is real. 117 00:07:29,611 --> 00:07:30,780 Snap also fuels our local 118 00:07:30,780 --> 00:07:32,780 economies. 119 00:07:33,248 --> 00:07:36,248 Up to $1.80 in grocery spending 120 00:07:36,585 --> 00:07:38,120 is snap dollars and creates a 121 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,622 one month benefit loss will pull 122 00:07:40,622 --> 00:07:42,591 about $7 million out of grocery 123 00:07:42,591 --> 00:07:44,226 stores and those are the 124 00:07:44,226 --> 00:07:45,894 appropriate response mechanism 125 00:07:45,894 --> 00:07:46,695 to help support with snap 126 00:07:46,695 --> 00:07:48,263 purchases. 127 00:07:48,263 --> 00:07:50,499 They have staff and regional 128 00:07:50,499 --> 00:07:52,499 locations. 129 00:07:52,901 --> 00:07:55,203 Food banking is not built to 130 00:07:55,203 --> 00:07:57,406 deploy these kinds of resources. 131 00:07:57,406 --> 00:07:58,540 We function and our partner 132 00:07:58,540 --> 00:07:59,174 agencies function with 133 00:07:59,174 --> 00:08:01,174 volunteers. 134 00:08:02,978 --> 00:08:04,790 So even if we did replace the 135 00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:06,479 $7 million deficiency, we could 136 00:08:06,882 --> 00:08:09,118 not respond in the same way. 137 00:08:09,118 --> 00:08:10,852 What we are doing though is we 138 00:08:10,852 --> 00:08:13,252 are raising emergency funds, 139 00:08:14,957 --> 00:08:15,658 which is part of why I'm here 140 00:08:15,658 --> 00:08:16,859 today. 141 00:08:16,859 --> 00:08:18,794 And purchasing extra food to 142 00:08:18,794 --> 00:08:21,330 fill the gaps to help to the 143 00:08:21,330 --> 00:08:23,265 best of our ability to make the 144 00:08:23,265 --> 00:08:24,667 partner agencies whole so our 145 00:08:24,667 --> 00:08:25,834 neighbors across central oregon 146 00:08:25,834 --> 00:08:27,834 are fed. 147 00:08:27,837 --> 00:08:28,637 We are not able to fully meet 148 00:08:28,637 --> 00:08:30,637 every need. 149 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,309 We have seen 100% increase, we 150 00:08:33,309 --> 00:08:34,743 got reports from partner 151 00:08:34,743 --> 00:08:35,311 agencies today, in their 152 00:08:35,311 --> 00:08:37,311 volumes. 153 00:08:38,514 --> 00:08:39,715 And that's in the last week and 154 00:08:39,715 --> 00:08:41,715 a half. 155 00:08:42,518 --> 00:08:43,752 We are providing grocery cards 156 00:08:43,752 --> 00:08:45,888 to head start families. 157 00:08:45,888 --> 00:08:46,756 That is the project I was on 158 00:08:46,756 --> 00:08:48,756 this week. 159 00:08:49,358 --> 00:08:50,860 We went to locally owned grocery 160 00:08:50,860 --> 00:08:52,895 stores across the communities 161 00:08:52,895 --> 00:08:54,263 that head start families are in 162 00:08:54,263 --> 00:08:57,667 to make sure the revenue stayed 163 00:08:57,667 --> 00:09:00,690 in the community and they had 164 00:09:00,690 --> 00:09:00,269 local access to use those gift 165 00:09:00,269 --> 00:09:02,269 cards. 166 00:09:03,239 --> 00:09:04,639 We are also drawing down our 167 00:09:04,639 --> 00:09:07,610 reserves to help contribute and 168 00:09:07,610 --> 00:09:08,778 purchase more food to flow into 169 00:09:08,778 --> 00:09:10,778 the system. 170 00:09:11,347 --> 00:09:13,182 The other piece is supporting 171 00:09:13,182 --> 00:09:14,216 our employees, we're a hunger 172 00:09:14,216 --> 00:09:16,616 organizations and we're not 173 00:09:16,786 --> 00:09:19,555 going to let employees impacted 174 00:09:19,555 --> 00:09:20,523 by the snap disruption go 175 00:09:20,523 --> 00:09:22,523 without. 176 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,270 No single effort can solve this 177 00:09:25,270 --> 00:09:26,229 crisis, but every contribution 178 00:09:26,229 --> 00:09:29,229 helps someone eat today, this 179 00:09:29,532 --> 00:09:31,868 week or this month. 180 00:09:31,868 --> 00:09:33,200 One of the interesting and 181 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,737 relevant pieces around 182 00:09:34,737 --> 00:09:36,539 contributions to neighbor impact 183 00:09:36,539 --> 00:09:39,275 is because of our food 184 00:09:39,275 --> 00:09:41,444 purchasing power, we're able to 185 00:09:41,444 --> 00:09:44,247 stretch every dollar three fold. 186 00:09:44,247 --> 00:09:44,814 So, we can turn $1 into $3 worth 187 00:09:44,814 --> 00:09:46,750 of food. 188 00:09:46,750 --> 00:09:48,384 The impact of that is that when 189 00:09:48,384 --> 00:09:50,286 you are giving cash to families 190 00:09:50,286 --> 00:09:53,886 or supports to families to use 191 00:09:53,990 --> 00:09:55,625 in a retail outlet, we can 192 00:09:55,625 --> 00:09:57,560 actually pump more volume with 193 00:09:57,560 --> 00:09:59,729 an investment into the food 194 00:09:59,729 --> 00:10:02,129 system as a whole. 195 00:10:02,165 --> 00:10:04,233 Shelves

community 202 00:10:18,281 --> 00:10:18,848 has stepped up in folds and 203 00:10:18,848 --> 00:10:20,848 gotten contributions from 204 00:10:21,784 --> 00:10:23,784 private donors. 205 00:10:24,354

00:19:16,186 staff alternates here, currently 451 00:19:16,289 --> 00:19:19,889 the bylaws require at least two 452 00:19:22,620 --> 00:19:22,316 of us in this case, councillor 453 00:19:22,316 --> 00:19:23,830 oh 454 00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:26,466 riley and myself to be present. 455 00:19:26,466 --> 00:19:30,660 If two members are not present, 456 00:19:30,537 --> 00:19:31,738 they cannot conduct business, no 457 00:19:31,738 --> 00:19:33,106 matter how many other are 458 00:19:33,106 --> 00:19:34,241 present unless we have staff 459 00:19:34,241 --> 00:19:36,241 alternates. 460

00:21:02,529 whether or not -- just not 505 00:21:02,529 --> 00:21:04,531 quite a year ago, it will be a 506 00:21:04,531 --> 00:21:06,133 year in DECEMBER, that we had a 507 00:21:06,133 --> 00:21:09,102 discussion about whether or not 508 00:21:09,102 --> 00:21:09,837 we should apply the 509 00:21:09,837 --> 00:21:12,237 concentration limits for short 510 00:21:12,439 --> 00:21:16,390 term rentals that apply to the 511 00:21:16,944 --> 00:21:18,679 underlining residential zone to 512 00:21:18,679 --> 00:21:20,281 the cn zone, the neighborhood 513 00:21:20,281 --> 00:21:22,281 commercial zone. 514 00:21:23,284 --> 00:21:25,786 It is grandfathered zone in the 515 00:21:25,786 --> 00:21:27,288 books for three properties in 516 00:21:27,288 --> 00:21:29,523 the old towne community and done 517 00:21:29,523 --> 00:21:31,425 away with in 2006. 518 00:21:31,425 --> 00:21:32,526 If I understood it, I rewatched 519 00:21:32,526 --> 00:21:34,526 the recording today. 520 00:21:35,830 --> 00:21:36,797 It came to us with a code update 521 00:21:36,797 --> 00:21:39,197 package with the recommendation 522 00:21:39,834 --> 00:21:42,503 to amend the code that way so 523 00:21:42,503 --> 00:21:44,171 the underlining concentration 524 00:21:44,171 --> 00:21:46,774 limits would apply under the 525 00:21:46,774 --> 00:21:48,476 current rules, they do not apply 526 00:21:48,476 --> 00:21:50,744 to the three properties. 527 00:21:50,744 --> 00:21:52,213 My pitch to all of you, a year 528 00:21:52,213 --> 00:21:54,248 ago what happened is that was 529 00:21:54,248 --> 00:21:57,848 the night we were dealing with 530 00:21:57,885 --> 00:21:59,353 the one time expansion of the 531 00:21:59,353 --> 00:22:00,621 ugb and south end of the 532 00:22:00,621 --> 00:22:02,790 community and making this 533 00:22:02,790 --> 00:22:05,126 decision after 11:00 at night. 534 00:22:05,126 --> 00:22:07,428 We were all pretty exhausted and 535 00:22:07,428 --> 00:22:08,529 tired and I don't think we were 536 00:22:08,529 --> 00:22:10,529 thinking particularly clearly. 537 00:22:10,598 --> 00:22:12,300 We basically said let's table it 538 00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:12,495 and there was a motion to table 539 00:22:12,495 --> 00:22:13,968 it. 540 00:22:13,968 --> 00:22:14,769 I do think it is something we 541 00:22:14,769 --> 00:22:16,769 should finish. 542 00:22:17,138 --> 00:22:18,306 It is a piece of unfinished 543 00:22:18,306 --> 00:22:19,407 business and said we would come 544 00:22:19,407 --> 00:22:20,708 back a year ago. 545 00:22:20,708 --> 00:22:22,243 I would like to come back and 546 00:22:22,243 --> 00:22:24,243 finish the discussion. 547 00:22:25,479 --> 00:22:26,581 I'm not advocating for any 548 00:22:26,581 --> 00:22:28,981 resolution tonight, just trying 549 00:22:30,170 --> 00:22:30,985 to get it back on the agenda to 550 00:22:30,985 --> 00:22:33,985 make a formal decision about 551 00:22:35,490 --> 00:22:39,690 what was presented to us by the 552 00:22:42,363 --> 00:22:43,397 planning commission. 553 00:22:43,397 --> 00:22:45,397 >> thoughts? 554 00:22:45,633 --> 00:22:47,402 >> I have a question. 555 00:22:47,402 --> 00:22:50,805 I was just curious why -- I 556 00:22:50,805 --> 00:22:52,974 understand it was a legacy zone 557 00:22:52,974 --> 00:22:56,574 in this one neighborhood, but I 558 00:22:56,577 --> 00:22:59,614 think the idea was to retain 559 00:22:59,614 --> 00:23:01,614 neighborhood commercial. 560 00:23:02,917 --> 00:23:03,851 There are other commercial 561 00:23:03,851 --> 00:23:05,851 convenience and commercial 562 00:23:05,954 --> 00:23:08,354 general, which encourage the 563 00:23:10,258 --> 00:23:11,926 same type of mixed use 564 00:23:11,926 --> 00:23:13,895 development on these properties. 565 00:23:13,895 --> 00:23:15,263 I'm curious why we're just 566 00:23:15,263 --> 00:23:17,650 focusing on these and this zone 567 00:23:17,650 --> 00:23:19,200 and not looking at all of the 568 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:19,834 commercial zones the allow 569 00:23:19,834 --> 00:23:21,834 residential uses. 570 00:23:23,838 --> 00:23:25,407 It is happening in other zones 571 00:23:25,407 --> 00:23:27,575 where developers are using the 572 00:23:27,575 --> 00:23:29,244 middle housing code to build 573 00:23:29,244 --> 00:23:30,578 housing units and converting to 574 00:23:30,578 --> 00:23:32,578 short term rentals. 575 00:23:33,381 --> 00:23:34,449 We're seeing sort of loss of 576 00:23:34,449 --> 00:23:36,449 neighborhood character and 577 00:23:36,451 --> 00:23:36,785 intention we kind of set up with 578 00:23:36,785 --> 00:23:38,785 that zone. 579 00:23:39,870 --> 00:23:42,590 I don't know -- I know this is 580 00:23:42,590 --> 00:23:45,260 not a time for deliberation, so 581 00:23:45,260 --> 00:23:47,896 I don't mean to derail -- the 582 00:23:47,896 --> 00:23:49,297 request but I just want to make 583 00:23:49,297 --> 00:23:52,897 sure we're not making -- I 584 00:23:54,503 --> 00:23:57,380 don't know, a one-off action and 585 00:23:57,380 --> 00:23:58,940 that we're looking at this from 586 00:23:58,940 --> 00:24:00,940 a policy perspective. 587 00:24:01,877 --> 00:24:02,710 >> I hear councillor riley 588 00:24:02,710 --> 00:24:04,710 asking about neighborhood 589 00:24:06,181 --> 00:24:09,181 commercial in relation to short 590 00:24:10,510 --> 00:24:12,540 term rentals and council member 591 00:24:12,540 --> 00:24:14,222 franzosa asking more broadly. 592 00:24:14,222 --> 00:24:15,824 Is the request specific to 593 00:24:15,824 --> 00:24:17,459 neighborhood commercial or short 594 00:24:17,459 --> 00:24:19,459 term rental? 595 00:24:19,895 --> 00:24:21,730 >> my intention tonight was for 596 00:24:21,730 --> 00:24:24,990 these three properties and piece 597 00:24:24,990 --> 00:24:26,134 of business we didn't finish. 598 00:24:26,134 --> 00:24:30,334 I get the point about looking at 599 00:24:35,377 --> 00:24:36,378 it more broadly. 600 00:24:36,378 --> 00:24:39,470 There's an example where they 601 00:24:39,470 --> 00:24:41,250 came in middle housing in the 602 00:24:41,250 --> 00:24:43,885 commercial zone and housing and 603 00:24:43,885 --> 00:24:45,887 now they're being rented as 604 00:24:45,887 --> 00:24:46,955 short term rentals and not 605 00:24:46,955 --> 00:24:48,123 contributing to help meet the 606 00:24:48,123 --> 00:24:50,692 housing need in the community. 607 00:24:50,692 --> 00:24:50,960 I think it is a larger policy 608 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,960 question. 609 00:24:53,610 --> 00:24:54,296 You know, this is a little 610 00:24:54,296 --> 00:24:57,296 different issue here with people 611 00:24:58,567 --> 00:25:00,970 wanting to have the same set of 612 00:25:00,970 --> 00:25:03,739 rules for their zone applied, so 613 00:25:03,739 --> 00:25:07,339 it's not exactly the same issue. 614 00:25:07,576 --> 00:25:08,900 But I think this is a piece of 615 00:25:08,900 --> 00:25:10,900 unfinished business. 616 00:25:10,579 --> 00:25:12,414 My main concern if we mix these 617 00:25:12,414 --> 00:25:13,415 together, what does it do in 618 00:25:13,415 --> 00:25:15,718 terms of delay of discussion. 619 00:25:15,718 --> 00:25:16,852 I would like to get it resolved 620 00:25:16,852 --> 00:25:18,852 relatively quickly. 621 00:25:19,254 --> 00:25:22,223 We said we were going to resolve 622 00:25:22,223 --> 00:25:24,223 it 11 months ago. 623 00:25:24,627 --> 00:25:27,496 >> so, would the process be we 624 00:25:27,496 --> 00:25:28,664 would basically start from zero 625 00:25:28,664 --> 00:25:30,990 on the three properties, notice, 626 00:25:30,990 --> 00:25:30,499 planning commission, that whole 627 00:25:30,499 --> 00:25:31,400 -- 628 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,400 >> I think so. 629 00:25:35,170 --> 00:25:37,273 What I'm sort of hearing council 630 00:25:37,273 --> 00:25:39,108 discussion is was the scope of a 631 00:25:39,108 --> 00:25:39,942 work session. 632 00:25:39,942 --> 00:25:41,911 >> that was well. 633 00:25:41,911 --> 00:25:43,312 >> just to go back to your 634 00:25:43,312 --> 00:25:45,247 question, I think our intention 635 00:25:45,247 --> 00:25:46,749 would be just to couple this 636 00:25:46,749 --> 00:25:48,517 with the next housing package in 637 00:25:48,517 --> 00:25:50,860 the spring. 638 00:25:50,860 --> 00:25:51,854 We have to notice for all sorts 639 00:25:51,854 --> 00:25:53,589 of other things we would do 640 00:25:53,589 --> 00:25:55,589 related to housing. 641 00:25:56,258 --> 00:25:57,726 We would just put this on, so it 642 00:25:57,726 --> 00:26:00,960 would be efficient to have that. 643 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:00,863 If you wanted to have a broader 644 00:26:00,863 --> 00:26:03,263 policy conversation about the 645 00:26:03,632 --> 00:26:04,400 scope of that, we would need to 646 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:05,935 do it sooner rather than later 647 00:26:05,935 --> 00:26:09,535 to decide if we're going to 648 00:26:10,206 --> 00:26:10,406 include it in the package or 649 00:26:10,406 --> 00:26:12,406 not. 650 00:26:13,242 --> 00:26:15,278 >> and the proposal for the 651 00:26:15,278 --> 00:26:16,545 neighborhood commercial zone, 652 00:26:16,545 --> 00:26:18,614 the three properties is short 653 00:26:18,614 --> 00:26:19,982 term rental rules written today 654 00:26:19,982 --> 00:26:22,251 would apply to them. 655 00:26:22,251 --> 00:26:23,953 >> they are currently exempt 656 00:26:23,953 --> 00:26:25,953 from the rules. 657 00:26:26,756 --> 00:26:28,424 There's no concentration limits. 658 00:26:28,424 --> 00:26:29,926 There's no guidance other than 659 00:26:29,926 --> 00:26:32,762 you can do whatever you want. 660 00:26:32,762 --> 00:26:34,960 >> in the discussion last year 661 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:35,131 was around is that the right way 662 00:26:35,131 --> 00:26:37,131 to do that. 663 00:26:37,367 --> 00:26:38,634 I want to be really transparent, 664 00:26:38,634 --> 00:26:40,503 we received a neighborhood 665 00:26:40,503 --> 00:26:41,370 petition from neighbors who are 666 00:26:41,370 --> 00:26:43,770 looking at a specific 667 00:26:43,839 --> 00:26:46,142 development they are looking to 668 00:26:46,142 --> 00:26:47,910 not allow to do short term 669 00:26:47,910 --> 00:26:50,413 rentals and I expressed last 670 00:26:50,413 --> 00:26:51,214 year and again, worry about 671 00:26:51,214 --> 00:26:53,614 legislating from one property 672 00:26:53,749 --> 00:26:54,317 that people are opposing 673 00:26:54,317 --> 00:26:56,285 development on. 674 00:26:56,285 --> 00:26:58,921 I'm supportive of the first 675 00:26:58,921 --> 00:27:00,323 thing eric said, adding this to 676 00:27:00,323 --> 00:27:02,325 the housing code package in the 677 00:27:02,325 --> 00:27:03,593 spring and I'm not saying which 678 00:27:03,593 --> 00:27:06,161 way we're going to vote but it 679 00:27:06,161 --> 00:27:06,830 is fair to put it back in and 680 00:27:06,830 --> 00:27:08,364 finish the discussion and decide 681 00:27:08,364 --> 00:27:09,365 what we want to do. 682 00:27:09,365 --> 00:27:11,234 >> that's fine. 683 00:27:11,234 --> 00:27:11,467 That's how we would do this, 684 00:27:11,467 --> 00:27:13,169 right? 685 00:27:13,169 --> 00:27:15,839 We have to do the notice and go 686 00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:16,673 back through the planning 687 00:27:16,673 --> 00:27:18,274 commission. 688 00:27:18,274 --> 00:27:20,343 >> that work is already done. 689 00:27:20,343 --> 00:27:22,779 But if you want to change the 690 00:27:22,779 --> 00:27:23,513 scope, we would need another 691 00:27:23,513 --> 00:27:25,513 work session. 692 00:27:25,582 --> 00:27:27,830 >> I'm not interested right now 693 00:27:27,830 --> 00:27:27,984 in scheduling a larger work 694 00:27:27,984 --> 00:27:29,852 session around this. 695 00:27:29,852 --> 00:27:32,722 I think this is hanging out 696 00:27:32,722 --> 00:27:33,990 there, let's finish the 697 00:27:33,990 --> 00:27:36,990 discussion and maybe a jumping 698 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,729 point to the next discussion. 699 00:27:39,729 --> 00:27:41,698 >> I'm not interested in 700 00:27:41,698 --> 00:27:43,600 redesigning the short term 701 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,201 rental policy we have. 702 00:27:45,201 --> 00:27:47,404 I'm just interested in it 703 00:27:47,404 --> 00:27:48,405 applying to all zones that allow 704 00:27:48,405 --> 00:27:50,405 residential uses. 705 00:27:52,575 --> 00:27:54,110 >> I think that's a larger 706 00:27:54,110 --> 00:27:55,779 conversation though than -- we 707 00:27:55,779 --> 00:27:57,847 would need to have more research 708 00:27:57,847 --> 00:27:59,115 and more ideas on the impact of 709 00:27:59,115 --> 00:28:01,515 that for property owners. 710 00:28:01,952 --> 00:28:04,352 >> I'm hearing two questions. 711 00:28:05,422 --> 00:28:08,422 Does the majority of council 712 00:28:08,725 --> 00:28:11,228 want that one legislative change 713 00:28:11,228 --> 00:28:12,862 for that limited amount of 714 00:28:12,862 --> 00:28:14,331 properties to come back and then 715 00:28:14,331 --> 00:28:17,931 maybe also interest in a work 716 00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:18,268 session on the broader policy 717 00:28:18,268 --> 00:28:20,103 question. 718 00:28:20,103 --> 00:28:20,470 >> can we answer the first 719 00:28:20,470 --> 00:28:22,470 question first? 720 00:28:24,841 --> 00:28:27,177 Just to put it in the code 721 00:28:27,177 --> 00:28:29,577 package in the spring. 722 00:28:29,879 --> 00:28:30,880 >> I don't see it as a bigger 723 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,880 policy discussion. 724 00:28:33,450 --> 00:28:34,785 It is residential allowed in 725 00:28:34,785 --> 00:28:36,420 commercial zones. 726 00:28:36,420 --> 00:28:37,587 It is yes or no. 727 00:28:37,587 --> 00:28:39,556 Why are we picking. 728 00:28:39,556 --> 00:28:41,240 >> it sounds like we have a 729 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,424 majority to move forward. 730 00:28:43,827 --> 00:28:45,595 >> to the second question. 731 00:28:45,595 --> 00:28:47,864 >> councillor franzosa, maybe it 732 00:28:47,864 --> 00:28:48,432 is not big or broad, but it is 733 00:28:48,432 --> 00:28:50,432 different. 734 00:28:59,209 --> 00:29:01,609 That was the point. 735 00:29:01,812 --> 00:29:02,279 >> that topic is work session 736 00:29:02,279 --> 00:29:03,714 worthy. 737 00:29:03,714 --> 00:29:05,115 I think we need a work session 738 00:29:05,115 --> 00:29:05,349 on that and then direction from 739 00:29:05,349 --> 00:29:07,250 council. 740 00:29:07,250 --> 00:29:08,519 >> yeah, we didn't have a 741 00:29:08,519 --> 00:29:09,553 request to make that work 742 00:29:09,553 --> 00:29:11,553 session request today. 743 00:29:12,423 --> 00:29:13,524 It is jumping off of mike's -- 744 00:29:13,524 --> 00:29:15,626 I would prefer to move forward 745 00:29:15,626 --> 00:29:17,160 with this item and then after 746 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,330 done with that code, I'm willing 747 00:29:20,330 --> 00:29:21,632 to do a work session on the 748 00:29:21,632 --> 00:29:22,900 other topic. 749 00:29:22,900 --> 00:29:24,340 I wasn't prepared to really talk 750 00:29:24,340 --> 00:29:26,434 about that further today. 751 00:29:26,737 --> 00:29:28,572 i didn't know that was going to 752 00:29:28,572 --> 00:29:30,572 be asked for. 753 00:29:32,876 --> 00:29:33,944 >> maybe future work session. 754 00:29:33,944 --> 00:29:35,944 >> okay. 755 00:29:36,460 --> 00:29:39,460 The second one is councillor 756 00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:40,451 franzosa interpretation of state 757 00:29:40,451 --> 00:29:41,752 housing policies. 758 00:29:41,752 --> 00:29:43,752 >> thank you. 759 00:29:45,122 --> 00:29:47,191 Last year city council adopted 760 00:29:47,191 --> 00:29:49,191 state housing loss. 761 00:29:49,426 --> 00:29:51,826 We're seeing these code 762 00:29:51,829 --> 00:29:54,640 revisions are having unintended 763 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:54,665 consequence, the loss of land 764 00:29:54,665 --> 00:29:56,665 for neighborhood commercial 765 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:57,401 space, which is resulting in 766 00:29:57,401 --> 00:29:59,401 residential only development. 767 00:29:59,470 --> 00:30:01,705 And so I want to be clear, we 768 00:30:01,705 --> 00:30:04,274 were just talking about the 769 00:30:04,274 --> 00:30:06,274 neighborhood commercial zone, 770 00:30:06,577 --> 00:30:08,120 this is -- little c 771 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,280 neighborhood commercial space, a 772 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:10,748 variety of commercial zones that 773 00:30:10,748 --> 00:30:12,917 allow for mixed use. 774 00:30:12,917 --> 00:30:15,917 But now we're seeing residential 775 00:30:18,589 --> 00:30:19,890 only development in the lands, 776 00:30:19,890 --> 00:30:21,592 so this loss of neighborhood 777 00:30:21,592 --> 00:30:24,295 commercial space will make it 778 00:30:24,295 --> 00:30:27,295 challenging if not impossible to 779 00:30:29,233 --> 00:30:30,468 achieve our goal for complete 780 00:30:30,468 --> 00:30:31,235 communities and even climate 781 00:30:31,235 --> 00:30:33,170 friendly areas. 782 00:30:33,170 --> 00:30:35,390 My request is a work session to 783 00:30:35,390 --> 00:30:37,475 discuss and grapple with the 784 00:30:37,475 --> 00:30:39,843 competing factors of complete 785 00:30:39,843 --> 00:30:40,111 communities and affordable 786 00:30:40,111 --> 00:30:41,445 housing. 787 00:30:41,445 --> 00:30:44,115 I envision this discussion, what 788 00:30:44,115 --> 00:30:46,250 does that mean to me? 789 00:30:46,250 --> 00:30:48,520 It could include options for 790 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,188 council to take action, such as 791 00:30:51,188 --> 00:30:53,357 further tweaks to the code 792 00:30:53,357 --> 00:30:55,827 language or advocacy for policy 793 00:30:55,827 --> 00:30:57,829 change at the state level. 794 00:30:57,829 --> 00:30:59,230 Basically, I would be asking 795 00:30:59,230 --> 00:31:00,698 that staff present some ideas 796 00:31:00,698 --> 00:31:03,100 that they MAY have with the 797 00:31:03,100 --> 00:31:05,270 ultimate goal of affording every 798 00:31:05,270 --> 00:31:06,938 resident in bend regardless of 799 00:31:06,938 --> 00:31:09,338 income, housing and convenience 800 00:31:09,340 --> 00:31:12,210 of basic services within a 801 00:31:12,210 --> 00:31:12,610 reasonable walk, bike or ride 802 00:31:12,610 --> 00:31:14,412 within their home. 803 00:31:14,412 --> 00:31:17,649 I hope it can be scheduled at 804 00:31:17,649 --> 00:31:20,649 the earliest possible date due 805 00:31:20,685 --> 00:31:21,419 to the housing crisis and loss 806 00:31:21,419 --> 00:31:22,153 of commercial neighborhood land 807 00:31:22,153 --> 00:31:24,220 I have seen. 808 00:31:24,220 --> 00:31:26,424 >> I have a follow-up question. 809 00:31:26,424 --> 00:31:28,593 That is a broader conversation 810 00:31:28,593 --> 00:31:29,861 than I think the narrow 811 00:31:29,861 --> 00:31:30,561 interpretation of a couple of 812 00:31:30,561 --> 00:31:32,561 statutes you said. 813 00:31:34,799 --> 00:31:37,568 I was looking for the statute in 814 00:31:37,568 --> 00:31:38,503 the development code and never 815 00:31:38,503 --> 00:31:40,903 quite got the cite. 816 00:31:41,740 --> 00:31:46,540 Are you asking us to zero in on 817 00:31:47,450 --> 00:31:49,581 how staff interpreted state law 818 00:31:49,581 --> 00:31:49,881 into code or a bigger 819 00:31:49,881 --> 00:31:51,881 discussion. 820 00:31:52,830 --> 00:31:53,751 How narrow are you -- your 821 00:31:53,751 --> 00:31:54,752 request is narrow but hearing a 822 00:31:54,752 --> 00:31:56,421 bit more tonight. 823 00:31:56,421 --> 00:31:57,522 >> I don't know that my request 824 00:31:57,522 --> 00:31:59,522 was that narrow. 825 00:32:01,626 --> 00:32:03,461 I think I used exactly these 826 00:32:03,461 --> 00:32:04,963 words about losing commercial to 827 00:32:04,963 --> 00:32:07,363 affordable housing and being 828 00:32:08,133 --> 00:32:09,801 sort of unintended consequences 829 00:32:09,801 --> 00:32:12,801 and competing interest there and 830 00:32:13,338 --> 00:32:14,139 our goals being pitted against 831 00:32:14,139 --> 00:32:16,139 each other. 832 00:32:16,541 --> 00:32:17,776 I am not an attorney. 833 00:32:17,776 --> 00:32:19,776 I don't know. 834 00:32:19,978 --> 00:32:21,646 I think I can read the words 835 00:32:21,646 --> 00:32:23,682 though of the state statute and 836 00:32:23,682 --> 00:32:25,183 the words of the code and 837 00:32:25,183 --> 00:32:26,551 they're not the same. 838 00:32:26,551 --> 00:32:28,220 Would an attorney agree or 839 00:32:28,220 --> 00:32:29,954 disagree, I don't know. 840 00:32:29,954 --> 00:32:33,758 That's why I would like staff to 841 00:32:33,758 --> 00:32:34,960 sort of present the options, 842 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,950 including the code language 843 00:32:37,950 --> 00:32:39,498 matter but maybe some other 844 00:32:39,498 --> 00:32:40,299 options so we don't lose more 845 00:32:40,299 --> 00:32:42,299 neighborhood commercial. 846 00:32:43,268 --> 00:32:44,936 I think that's the concern which 847 00:32:44,936 --> 00:32:45,837 we have sort of heard about from 848 00:32:45,837 --> 00:32:47,539 our community. 849 00:32:47,539 --> 00:32:49,374 >> I share that concern and I 850 00:32:49,374 --> 00:32:49,708 think it's a bigger 851 00:32:49,708 --> 00:32:51,708 conversation. 852 00:32:52,410 --> 00:32:55,647 Eric, can you tell us how that 853 00:32:55,647 --> 00:32:56,414 bigger conversation fits into 854 00:32:56,414 --> 00:32:58,414 what we're doing? 855 00:32:59,351 --> 00:33:00,419 >> there is a strategy and 856 00:33:00,419 --> 00:33:00,719 action around complete 857 00:33:00,719 --> 00:33:01,853 communities. 858 00:33:01,853 --> 00:33:06,530 I think one of the things we 859 00:33:07,590 --> 00:33:09,128 have been talking about, 860 00:33:09,128 --> 00:33:11,830 feasibility study to look at how 861 00:33:11,830 --> 00:33:13,332 we can support the -- how the 862 00:33:13,332 --> 00:33:14,566 market can support neighborhood 863 00:33:14,566 --> 00:33:16,680 commercial and our growth plan 864 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,770 to really look at that code and 865 00:33:18,770 --> 00:33:20,706 look to see if there's barriers 866 00:33:20,706 --> 00:33:22,740 or other things we can do from a 867 00:33:22,740 --> 00:33:24,740 code perspective. 868 00:33:25,410 --> 00:33:26,144 I think more of a nuances of 869 00:33:26,144 --> 00:33:28,280 intersection of state law and 870 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,149 our code, that is something 871 00:33:30,149 --> 00:33:32,351 probably a little more -- that 872 00:33:32,351 --> 00:33:35,420 is a little more nuanced and 873 00:33:35,420 --> 00:33:37,389 maybe where we can start but it 874 00:33:37,389 --> 00:33:38,891 can grow into the other items 875 00:33:38,891 --> 00:33:40,960 that are council goal related. 876 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,194 >> I'm fine with that, if we 877 00:33:42,194 --> 00:33:43,362 just focus on the difference 878 00:33:43,362 --> 00:33:43,562 between the statute and the 879 00:33:43,562 --> 00:33:45,562 code. 880 00:33:45,964 --> 00:33:46,465 >> I think we need to talk about 881 00:33:46,465 --> 00:33:48,167 that. 882 00:33:48,167 --> 00:33:49,501 I have a follow-up on what you 883 00:33:49,501 --> 00:33:51,770 have brought up tonight I wanted 884 00:33:51,770 --> 00:33:53,172 to ask about that is not a work 885 00:33:53,172 --> 00:33:54,340 session request but I have a 886 00:33:54,340 --> 00:33:56,275 meeting with the state 887 00:33:56,275 --> 00:33:58,210 deligation on friday. 888 00:33:58,210 --> 00:33:59,745 I would like if council would 889 00:33:59,745 --> 00:34:00,512 allow me to start talking about 890 00:34:00,512 --> 00:34:02,214 it with them. 891 00:34:02,214 --> 00:34:03,682 What I would like to do is say 892 00:34:03,682 --> 00:34:05,840 here's what's happening on the 893 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,886 ground and they have sort of 894 00:34:07,886 --> 00:34:09,655 heard about this and start to 895 00:34:09,655 --> 00:34:11,657 think about this state law and 896 00:34:11,657 --> 00:34:12,891 our ability to plan and how is 897 00:34:12,891 --> 00:34:15,160 that going to work going 898 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,395 forward, if we're going to have 899 00:34:16,395 --> 00:34:17,196 laws that are passed that 900 00:34:17,196 --> 00:34:19,196 override zoning. 901 00:34:19,365 --> 00:34:20,650 if council is okay with me 902 00:34:20,650 --> 00:34:22,101 starting that conversation with 903 00:34:22,101 --> 00:34:23,836 the deligation, there could be 904 00:34:23,836 --> 00:34:25,104 an opportunity upcoming and I 905 00:34:25,104 --> 00:34:27,172 want to move quickly on that. 906 00:34:27,172 --> 00:34:29,842 I'm not going to take a position 907 00:34:29,842 --> 00:34:31,677 on anything and they MAY have 908 00:34:31,677 --> 00:34:33,712 ideas on solutions around that. 909 00:34:33,712 --> 00:34:36,215 But if that's okay, I would like 910 00:34:36,215 --> 00:34:37,249 to do that friday to get the 911 00:34:37,249 --> 00:34:38,818 ball rolling. 912 00:34:38,818 --> 00:34:39,819 >> yeah, I support that. 913 00:34:39,819 --> 00:34:41,819 >> for sure. 914 00:34:42,822 --> 00:34:45,191 >> I think from my perspective, 915 00:34:45,191 --> 00:34:47,893 I do think we have been hearing 916 00:34:47,893 --> 00:34:48,894 about this now for a while from 917 00:34:48,894 --> 00:34:50,662 different parts of the community 918 00:34:50,662 --> 00:34:53,662 in the north and south. 919 00:34:53,766 --> 00:34:56,350 I'm not sure I agree that the 920 00:34:56,350 --> 00:34:57,503 wildflower is exactly the same 921 00:34:57,503 --> 00:34:59,503 issue going on. 922 00:35:00,606 --> 00:35:02,241 We made the decision to reduce 923 00:35:02,241 --> 00:35:05,241 that commercial -- it was 924 00:35:06,245 --> 00:35:06,612 pretty straightforward on that 925 00:35:06,612 --> 00:35:07,713 one. 926 00:35:07,713 --> 00:35:09,715 Unless there's something else 927 00:35:09,715 --> 00:35:11,584 going on I don't know about yet. 928 00:35:11,584 --> 00:35:13,285 There's a valid concern about we 929 00:35:13,285 --> 00:35:15,188 have these nice plans on the 930 00:35:15,188 --> 00:35:18,457 books but if some of the land is 931 00:35:18,457 --> 00:35:21,894 going to get eaten up in the 932 00:35:21,894 --> 00:35:25,494 short to medium term while we 933 00:35:25,598 --> 00:35:26,466 wait to have enough households 934 00:35:26,466 --> 00:35:28,670 to support the complete 935 00:35:28,670 --> 00:35:29,100 community and then we can no 936 00:35:29,100 --> 00:35:31,401 longer provide it because 937 00:35:31,471 --> 00:35:32,905 there's not space to do it, we 938 00:35:32,905 --> 00:35:35,740 can't deliver on the promise. 939 00:35:35,740 --> 00:35:35,742 I think that tension is a really 940 00:35:35,742 --> 00:35:37,760 important tension that the 941 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,760 council should explore. 942 00:35:39,512 --> 00:35:41,381 And that's -- for that reason, 943 00:35:41,381 --> 00:35:42,415 I support what councillor 944 00:35:42,415 --> 00:35:44,815 franzosa is asking for. 945 00:35:45,551 --> 00:35:47,353 I think it's the policy question 946 00:35:47,353 --> 00:35:49,622 I'm most interested in. 947 00:35:49,622 --> 00:35:50,890 Part of it is, is there a fix to 948 00:35:50,890 --> 00:35:52,890 the state law. 949 00:35:52,425 --> 00:35:54,460 Do we need to think about 950 00:35:54,460 --> 00:35:55,828 tweaking our code slightly. 951 00:35:55,828 --> 00:35:58,828 is there something we have 952 00:35:58,831 --> 00:36:02,100 authority to do in the interim 953 00:36:02,100 --> 00:36:02,235 short of state law being 954 00:36:02,235 --> 00:36:04,235 changed. 955 00:36:04,337 --> 00:36:05,772 I'm not sure when I heard when 956 00:36:05,772 --> 00:36:07,307 we might get to that. 957 00:36:07,307 --> 00:36:07,840 I think the policy discussion is 958 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,840 valid. 959 00:36:10,677 --> 00:36:11,978 Even if the answers are maybe 960 00:36:11,978 --> 00:36:14,247 not what everybody wants to hear 961 00:36:14,247 --> 00:36:16,883 or what I want to hear, we need 962 00:36:16,883 --> 00:36:19,319 to explore it and communicate it 963 00:36:19,319 --> 00:36:19,718 to the community. 964 00:36:19,718 --> 00:36:21,718 >> yeah. 965 00:36:22,122 --> 00:36:25,291 >> just in terms of framing that 966 00:36:25,291 --> 00:36:26,226 work session, to look at our 967 00:36:26,226 --> 00:36:28,395 development code state law and 968 00:36:28,395 --> 00:36:30,430 see if there's room for any type 969 00:36:30,430 --> 00:36:31,765 of changes there and see how 970 00:36:31,765 --> 00:36:33,500 possible that is. 971 00:36:33,500 --> 00:36:34,533 I know he's done a much deeper 972 00:36:34,533 --> 00:36:36,533 dive. 973 00:36:37,370 --> 00:36:39,406 >> yeah, I will say my 974 00:36:39,406 --> 00:36:42,406 perspective is that the changes 975 00:36:43,476 --> 00:36:46,476 that council adopted late last 976 00:36:51,117 --> 00:36:51,851 year to implement sb8 and house 977 00:36:51,851 --> 00:36:54,251 bill 3395, the language from 978 00:36:55,388 --> 00:36:56,890 those bills is incorporated 979 00:36:56,890 --> 00:36:59,459 pretty directly in our code. 980 00:36:59,459 --> 00:37:02,950 The sb8 says land zone for 981 00:37:02,950 --> 00:37:02,562 commercial uses can qualify for 982 00:37:02,562 --> 00:37:04,562 affordable housing. 983 00:37:05,532 --> 00:37:07,968 We had to wrestle with what that 984 00:37:07,968 --> 00:37:08,301 means and we have some new 985 00:37:08,301 --> 00:37:10,301 terms. 986 00:37:10,937 --> 00:37:13,240 But I think we have incorporated 987 00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:15,842 the requirements of the two 988 00:37:15,842 --> 00:37:17,177 bills pretty directly and 989 00:37:17,177 --> 00:37:18,812 squarely within code. 990 00:37:18,812 --> 00:37:21,148 If council is asking can we hear 991 00:37:21,148 --> 00:37:22,416 more about that and see if 992 00:37:22,416 --> 00:37:26,160 there's any room to make changes 993 00:37:27,521 --> 00:37:28,421 to sort of make sure we're not 994 00:37:28,421 --> 00:37:30,624 deprioritizing the goal and 995 00:37:30,624 --> 00:37:31,825 other things we could advocate 996 00:37:31,825 --> 00:37:33,600 for, I think there's something 997 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,600 to talk about. 998 00:37:36,597 --> 00:37:39,597 I want to set expectations. 999 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,600 Sb8 is pretty straightforward. 1000 00:37:43,236 --> 00:37:45,236 I think. 1001 00:37:46,340 --> 00:37:47,908 hb3395 creates a different path 1002 00:37:47,908 --> 00:37:50,308 for affordable housing and 1003 00:37:50,510 --> 00:37:51,845 fairly straightforward and 1004 00:37:51,845 --> 00:37:54,245 requirements are taken almost 1005 00:38:09,430 --> 00:38:11,830 whole into the code. 1006 00:38:11,865 --> 00:38:14,265 >> I recall the conversations 1007 00:38:14,802 --> 00:38:16,370 and the legislature chooses 1008 00:38:16,370 --> 00:38:17,538 different definitions of 1009 00:38:17,538 --> 00:38:18,372 affordable housing when they 1010 00:38:18,372 --> 00:38:19,907 pass a bill. 1011 00:38:19,907 --> 00:38:21,742 I'm less interested in that than 1012 00:38:21,742 --> 00:38:24,780 the bigger policy conversation 1013 00:38:24,780 --> 00:38:25,790 on how are we supposed to plan 1014 00:38:25,790 --> 00:38:26,947 for neighborhood commercial 1015 00:38:26,947 --> 00:38:28,649 given state law and given how 1016 00:38:28,649 --> 00:38:29,183 things are playing out in bend 1017 00:38:29,183 --> 00:38:30,918 right now. 1018 00:38:30,918 --> 00:38:32,519 I think as long as we have the 1019 00:38:32,519 --> 00:38:33,820 space to talk about that and the 1020 00:38:33,820 --> 00:38:36,190 community can understand that. 1021 00:38:36,190 --> 00:38:38,258 If we get into code stuff, I 1022 00:38:38,258 --> 00:38:39,827 don't want to get too deep into 1023 00:38:39,827 --> 00:38:40,861 that without losing the bigger 1024 00:38:40,861 --> 00:38:43,564 picture in the work session. 1025 00:38:43,564 --> 00:38:44,765 >> I watched the session, the 1026 00:38:44,765 --> 00:38:47,165 council session from 2024 where 1027 00:38:47,368 --> 00:38:49,804 the code was adopted and there 1028 00:38:49,804 --> 00:38:51,839 was not any deliberation -- 1029 00:38:51,839 --> 00:38:53,807 there was deliberation on income 1030 00:38:53,807 --> 00:38:54,808 qualified but that's not what I 1031 00:38:54,808 --> 00:38:57,808 think are the different word 1032 00:38:59,113 --> 00:39:00,581 choices from the state statute 1033 00:39:00,581 --> 00:39:02,581 and local code. 1034 00:39:02,950 --> 00:39:05,486 I'm concerned we're sort of 1035 00:39:05,486 --> 00:39:07,870 leaving an issue unaddressed 1036 00:39:07,870 --> 00:39:07,455 that is having an impact on the 1037 00:39:07,455 --> 00:39:09,357 community today. 1038 00:39:09,357 --> 00:39:10,524 >> I think there's support here 1039 00:39:10,524 --> 00:39:12,893 to have the conversation. 1040 00:39:12,893 --> 00:39:13,527 I think we're trying to frame 1041 00:39:13,527 --> 00:39:15,290 the scope right now. 1042 00:39:15,290 --> 00:39:17,290 >> yeah. 1043 00:39:17,198 --> 00:39:18,366 I would say there are 1044 00:39:18,366 --> 00:39:19,400 opportunities that we should 1045 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,400 look at. 1046 00:39:23,504 --> 00:39:24,972 I'm not questioning what we did 1047 00:39:24,972 --> 00:39:27,308 was aligned with state law. 1048 00:39:27,308 --> 00:39:28,676 It was pretty clear at the time 1049 00:39:28,676 --> 00:39:30,676 it was. 1050 00:39:31,846 --> 00:39:32,980 Can we retain the alignment with 1051 00:39:32,980 --> 00:39:34,916 state law and consider other 1052 00:39:34,916 --> 00:39:37,916 options that support us moving 1053 00:39:38,753 --> 00:39:42,353 and ensuring we continue to move 1054 00:39:45,260 --> 00:39:47,426 in a complete direction. 1055 00:39:48,290 --> 00:39:49,897 Are there other ways that we can 1056 00:39:49,897 --> 00:39:51,897 get that outcome. 1057 00:39:52,533 --> 00:39:54,202 >>

of the system. 1759 01:05:08,693 --> 01:05:10,828 For example, the bike share 1760 01:05:10,828 --> 01:05:14,428 bikes are all throttle based and 1761 01:05:15,766 --> 01:05:16,000 not allowed on the

01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:23,107 questions about how ebikes can 1766 01:05:23,107 --> 01:05:25,107 use the trails. 1767 01:05:26,911 --> 01:05:28,946 Way finding needs to be 1768 01:05:28,946 -->

01:18:50,820 The proposed amendments to 2100 01:18:50,820 --> 01:18:52,321 implement the 25-27 goals. 2101 01:18:52,321 --> 01:18:54,223 the first being the housing goal 2102 01:18:54,223 --> 01:18:56,492 that states to develop and 2103 01:18:56,492 --> 01:18:58,892 implement strategies to meet 2104 01:19:00,263 --> 01:19:02,663 community housing needs and 2105 01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,000 reduce homelessness. 2106 01:19:07,837 --> 01:19:11,808 The action is to adopt the code 2107 01:19:11,808 --> 01:19:14,208 and processes improvements that 2108 01:19:14,577 --> 01:19:16,946 remove barriers and speed up 2109 01:19:16,946 --> 01:19:19,346 medium housing and affordable 2110 01:19:19,816 --> 01:19:21,317 housing and the proposed 2111 01:19:21,317 --> 01:19:21,584 standards updates several 2112 01:19:21,584 --> 01:19:23,584 processes. 2113 01:19:23,820 --> 01:19:25,788 The first one is providing 2114 01:19:25,788 --> 01:19:27,690 additional time extensions to 2115 01:19:27,690 --> 01:19:29,625 site plan review and land 2116 01:19:29,625 --> 01:19:31,294 revision applications. 2117 01:19:31,294 --> 01:19:33,196 Today site plan review 2118 01:19:33,196 --> 01:19:33,763 applications are good for two 2119 01:19:33,763 --> 01:19:35,763 years. 2120 01:19:35,999 --> 01:19:37,667 This will add an extension to 2121 01:19:37,667 --> 01:19:39,402 single phase and extension to 2122 01:19:39,402 --> 01:19:41,370 the first and last phase of site 2123 01:19:41,370 --> 01:19:43,370 plan applications. 2124 01:19:45,341 --> 01:19:47,741 This proposed amendment adds 2125 01:19:49,813 --> 01:19:50,113 extensions to phased land dwogz 2126 01:19:50,113 --> 01:19:51,481 application 2127 01:19:51,481 --> 01:19:53,481 division applications. 2128 01:19:53,883 --> 01:19:55,551 The benefit of adding the 2129 01:19:55,551 --> 01:19:57,951 extensions gives larger projects 2130 01:19:59,489 --> 01:20:00,857 like subdivisions or large 2131 01:20:00,857 --> 01:20:03,226 apartment complex building an 2132 01:20:03,226 --> 01:20:05,610 extra year to two years to get 2133 01:20:05,610 --> 01:20:07,610 the development completed. 2134 01:20:07,464 --> 01:20:08,932 The amendments stream line 2135 01:20:08,932 --> 01:20:10,233 review processes by better 2136 01:20:10,233 --> 01:20:10,767 organizing standards and 2137 01:20:10,767 --> 01:20:12,767 procedures. 2138 01:20:12,836 --> 01:20:15,305 When an applicant has to -- 2139 01:20:15,305 --> 01:20:16,973 submit a narrative, they're not 2140 01:20:16,973 --> 01:20:19,276 going through all these 2141 01:20:19,276 --> 01:20:19,710 different chapters where several 2142 01:20:19,710 --> 01:20:21,478 requirements live. 2143 01:20:21,478 --> 01:20:22,913 It will be better organized and 2144 01:20:22,913 --> 01:20:23,780 more timely for the applicant 2145 01:20:23,780 --> 01:20:25,780 and staff. 2146 01:20:26,816 --> 01:20:28,718 The amendments stream line a 2147 01:20:28,718 --> 01:20:31,718 review process for expansion of 2148 01:20:32,456 --> 01:20:32,990 existing multi family 2149 01:20:32,990 --> 01:20:34,990 developments. 2150 01:20:35,425 --> 01:20:37,694 Today it has to go through a 2151 01:20:37,694 --> 01:20:37,994 full site plan review 2152 01:20:37,994 --> 01:20:39,630 application. 2153 01:20:39,630 --> 01:20:42,320 We've had where all they want to 2154 01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:43,500 do is add one to two, maybe 2155 01:20:43,500 --> 01:20:45,435 three units and instead of 2156 01:20:45,435 --> 01:20:46,469 having to go through a full 2157 01:20:46,469 --> 01:20:48,469 process, the recommendation 2158 01:20:48,538 --> 01:20:50,340 would be they would just go 2159 01:20:50,340 --> 01:20:53,340 through the type one process. 2160 01:20:53,910 --> 01:20:56,179 The updates also reduce severe 2161 01:20:56,179 --> 01:20:59,779 set back in the low density 2162 01:20:59,816 --> 01:21:01,816 residential district. 2163 01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:02,920 Today is 20 feet and down to 10 2164 01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:04,920 feet. 2165 01:21:10,594 --> 01:21:13,594 This will allow more room. 2166 01:21:15,299 --> 01:21:15,499 This just allows more usable 2167 01:21:15,499 --> 01:21:17,499 space. 2168 01:21:18,669 --> 01:21:21,380 The amendments also implemented 2169 01:21:21,380 --> 01:21:21,939 transportation and 2170 01:21:21,939 --> 01:21:23,707 infrastructure goal with the 2171 01:21:23,707 --> 01:21:25,275 action to update transportation 2172 01:21:25,275 --> 01:21:27,275 design standards and 2173 01:21:28,979 --> 01:21:30,214 specification for all users 2174 01:21:30,214 --> 01:21:32,614 aiming for zero fatalities. 2175 01:21:33,350 --> 01:21:35,180 After looking at a lot of other 2176 01:21:35,180 --> 01:21:36,653 codes, realizing our bicycle 2177 01:21:36,653 --> 01:21:39,530 parking chapter was pretty 2178 01:21:39,190 --> 01:21:41,158 outdated. 2179 01:21:41,158 --> 01:21:43,260 We updated it to include secure 2180 01:21:43,260 --> 01:21:45,426 and convenient bicycle parking 2181 01:21:45,496 --> 01:21:47,364 with short term and long-term 2182 01:21:47,364 --> 01:21:48,699 bicycle parking requirements. 2183 01:21:48,699 --> 01:21:50,340 We didn't go through and 2184 01:21:50,340 --> 01:21:52,403 increase bicycle parking numbers 2185 01:21:52,403 --> 01:21:53,804 or spots required, we just 2186 01:21:53,804 --> 01:21:55,804 identified requirements for 2187 01:21:56,206 --> 01:21:58,420 short term, which means it is 2188 01:21:58,420 --> 01:21:59,376 going to provide parking for 2189 01:21:59,376 --> 01:22:00,678 customers or people there two 2190 01:22:00,678 --> 01:22:02,513 hours or less. 2191 01:22:02,513 --> 01:22:04,415 And then we identified parking 2192 01:22:04,415 --> 01:22:06,517 requirements for long-term, for 2193 01:22:06,517 --> 01:22:09,517 residents or employees that plan 2194 01:22:13,324 --> 01:22:14,925 to stay for over two hours. 2195 01:22:14,925 --> 01:22:17,862 In addition, we added additional 2196 01:22:17,862 --> 01:22:18,362 options to meet the parking 2197 01:22:18,362 --> 01:22:20,362 requirements. 2198 01:22:21,365 --> 01:22:23,834 We already allowed u-racks but 2199 01:22:23,834 --> 01:22:26,234 the proposed code amendments 2200 01:22:27,138 --> 01:22:29,538 would allow vertical wall 2201 01:22:30,675 --> 01:22:33,675 mounted racks and for oversized 2202 01:22:42,820 --> 01:22:44,522 bicycle parking like cargo 2203 01:22:44,522 --> 01:22:45,623 bikes. 2204 01:22:45,623 --> 01:22:45,990 Planning commission 2205 01:22:45,990 --> 01:22:47,990 recommendations. 2206 01:22:49,694 --> 01:22:52,330 We have two commissioners here 2207 01:22:52,330 --> 01:22:53,564 with us tonight. 2208 01:22:53,564 --> 01:22:56,267 And they held their public 2209 01:22:56,267 --> 01:22:59,267 hearing and voted 7-0 to 2210 01:22:59,337 --> 01:22:59,637 recommend approval of the 2211 01:22:59,637 --> 01:23:01,105 amendments. 2212 01:23:01,105

residential 2225 01:23:30,702 --> 01:23:32,702 uses. 2226 01:23:35,730 --> 01:23:36,674 The bend central district, this 2227 01:23:36,674 --> 01:23:39,430 was a group effort almost. 2228 01:23:39,430 --> 01:23:41,780 I worked with the core area 2229 01:23:41,780 --> 01:23:43,414 advisory board and planning 2230 01:23:43,414 --> 01:23:46,414 commission on amendments to help 2231 01:23:46,451 --> 01:23:48,686 buildings who just want to redo 2232 01:23:48,686 --> 01:23:49,854 the facades. 2233 01:23:49,854 --> 01:23:51,222 Simplify the process. 2234 01:23:51,222 --> 01:23:54,222 And there was definitely support 2235 01:23:54,392 --> 01:23:56,160 from the planning commission as 2236 01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:57,962 well as the core area advisory 2237 01:23:57,962 --> 01:24:00,231 board but interest in making 2238 01:24:00,231 --> 01:24:02,800 sure if they were to redo the 2239 01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,700 front facades, there is still 2240 01:24:05,700 --> 01:24:06,370 windows or transparency or 2241 01:24:06,370 --> 01:24:07,705 glazing maintained. 2242 01:24:07,705 --> 01:24:08,600 We still want a walkable 2243 01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:09,474 environment. 2244 01:24:09,474 --> 01:24:11,474 The planning commission's 2245 01:24:11,710 --> 01:24:14,110 recommendation is included in 2246 01:24:14,646 --> 01:24:17,646 your packet, that if they're 2247 01:24:18,350 --> 01:24:20,318 going to go through the simple 2248 01:24:20,318 --> 01:24:22,718 process, meet the minimum 2249 01:24:27,726 --> 01:24:27,992 requirements of the central bend 2250 01:24:27,992 --> 01:24:29,992 district. 2251 01:24:31,630 --> 01:24:34,266 i asked the planning commission 2252 01:24:34,266 --> 01:24:34,933 to fix something very 2253 01:24:34,933 --> 01:24:36,534 repetitive. 2254 01:24:36,534 --> 01:24:37,636 During the public comment period 2255 01:24:37,636 --> 01:24:39,804 as well as at the planning 2256 01:24:39,804 --> 01:24:42,107 commission public hearing, we 2257 01:24:42,107 --> 01:24:43,107 did hear from bend park and 2258 01:24:43,107 --> 01:24:45,507 recreation district about a 2259 01:24:46,511 --> 01:24:49,511 request to stream line the 2260 01:24:50,150 --> 01:24:52,830 review process to the special 2261 01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,830 interest overlay zone. 2262 01:24:54,386 --> 01:24:55,820 The request is to simplify the 2263 01:24:55,820 --> 01:24:58,123 process for fuel reduction and 2264 01:24:58,123 --> 01:25:00,692 forest health in this area. 2265 01:25:00,692 --> 01:25:04,292 The request is similar to the 2266 01:25:06,231 --> 01:25:08,631 proposed amendments in your 2267 01:25:09,401 --> 01:25:11,503 packets, the deschutes waterway 2268 01:25:11,503 --> 01:25:12,771 overlay district for tree 2269 01:25:12,771 --> 01:25:15,841 removal and we heard from bend 2270 01:25:15,841 --> 01:25:17,900 park and recreation district and 2271 01:25:17,900 --> 01:25:19,900 homeowners association. 2272 01:25:19,811 --> 01:25:22,481 So the bend park and recreation 2273 01:25:22,481 --> 01:25:24,483 district is simply asking we 2274 01:25:24,483 --> 01:25:27,886 have the same review process as 2275 01:25:27,886 --> 01:25:28,860 we are on the water way overlay 2276 01:25:28,860 --> 01:25:30,860 zone. 2277 01:25:30,122 --> 01:25:33,122 Through this process, I have 2278 01:25:33,258 --> 01:25:35,258 learned different definitions, 2279 01:25:36,895 --> 01:25:37,950 one being fuel break versus fire 2280 01:25:37,950 --> 01:25:39,950 break. 2281 01:25:39,898 --> 01:25:42,898 So staff is recommending adding 2282 01:25:43,802 --> 01:25:47,390 a type one amendment for the asi 2283 01:25:47,390 --> 01:25:47,506 as well as definition for fuel 2284 01:25:47,506 --> 01:25:49,506 break. 2285 01:25:51,444 --> 01:25:53,278 A fire break is -- I worked 2286 01:25:53,278 --> 01:25:53,479 with the fire marshal object 2287 01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:55,479 this. 2288 01:25:56,782 --> 01:25:56,982 A fire break cuts everything 2289 01:25:56,982 --> 01:25:58,982 down. 2290 01:25:59,184 --> 01:26:02,121 A fuel break helps to prevent 2291 01:26:02,121 --> 01:26:03,355 fires from spreading and this is 2292 01:26:03,355 --> 01:26:06,325 the process the fuel break, what 2293 01:26:06,325 --> 01:26:08,725 they have been using. 2294 01:26:09,662 --> 01:26:11,230 They recommend that we have a 2295 01:26:11,230 --> 01:26:14,230 definition for fuel break and 2296 01:26:14,900 --> 01:26:17,403 also amend the code in the area 2297 01:26:17,403 --> 01:26:19,638 instead of using the term fire 2298 01:26:19,638 --> 01:26:21,173 break, use fuel break. 2299 01:26:21,173 --> 01:26:23,573 And then the additional 2300 01:26:23,909 --> 01:26:27,509 amendments would be to the asi, 2301 01:26:27,813 --> 01:26:28,747 areas of special interest in 2302 01:26:28,747 --> 01:26:30,747 section 2.2.700. 2303 01:26:31,650 --> 01:26:32,952 I guess I'll go through them 2304 01:26:32,952 --> 01:26:34,952 real

01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:21,321 It is a fenced in drainage 2373 01:29:21,321 --> 01:29:23,321 basin. 2374 01:29:23,757 --> 01:29:27,227 I wanted to make sure when we 2375 01:29:27,227 --> 01:29:28,495 say you have to provide 10% open 2376 01:29:28,495 --> 01:29:31,598 space public or private, that it 2377 01:29:31,598 --> 01:29:32,199 couldn't just be a fenced in 2378 01:29:32,199 --> 01:29:34,199 drainage base. 2379 01:29:34,668 --> 01:29:37,170 I proposed an amendment to the 2380 01:29:37,170 --> 01:29:39,170 planning commission, city 2381 01:29:40,674 --> 01:29:43,674 council in 2022 trying

01:29:59,526 --> 01:30:01,695 that commissioner payne asked 2389 01:30:01,695 --> 01:30:03,263 about master plan open spaces 2390 01:30:03,263 --> 01:30:04,765 and I clarified it can be public 2391 01:30:04,765 --> 01:30:06,833 or private but must be useful. 2392 01:30:06,833 --> 01:30:08,669 The whole intent of the usable 2393 01:30:08,669 --> 01:30:10,737 open space is used by the people 2394 01:30:10,737 --> 01:30:11,538 who live there or the communty 2395 01:30:11,538 --> 01:30:13,538 or both. 2396 01:30:14,174 --> 01:30:16,543 And then in 2022 in the planning 2397 01:30:16,543 --> 01:30:17,644 commission held their public 2398 01:30:17,644 --> 01:30:20,644 hearing, I again clarified the 2399 01:30:21,882 --> 01:30:23,584 open space needs to be public 2400 01:30:23,584 --> 01:30:24,485 and usable or open to the master 2401 01:30:24,485 --> 01:30:26,253 plan area. 2402 01:30:26,253 --> 01:30:27,554 Like a community pool. 2403 01:30:27,554 --> 01:30:29,223 The city council in 2023 had the 2404 01:30:29,223 --> 01:30:31,759 public hearing and I wanted to 2405 01:30:31,759 --> 01:30:33,427 make it clear it was open to the 2406 01:30:33,427 --> 01:30:35,930 public and the reason behind 2407 01:30:35,930 --> 01:30:38,765 this, we don't want to see a 2408 01:30:38,765 --> 01:30:39,699 fenced off drainage basin not 2409 01:30:39,699 --> 01:30:41,699 available to

--> 01:30:54,782 to make sure it is not counted 2417 01:30:54,782 --> 01:30:56,782 as open space. 2418 01:30:57,351 --> 01:30:58,586 The public was intended to mean 2419 01:30:58,586 --> 01:31:00,421 it is usable by people. 2420 01:31:00,421 --> 01:31:02,623 The proposed amendments are not 2421 01:31:02,623 --> 01:31:05,226 to change the status quo of what 2422 01:31:05,226 --> 01:31:08,226 we have been doing since 2017, 2423 01:31:09,330 --> 01:31:11,310 it is just to clarify. 2424 01:31:11,310 --> 01:31:12,499 If there is interest in 2425 01:31:12,499 --> 01:31:14,535 providing even more clarity 2426 01:31:14,535 --> 01:31:16,404 about the fenced in areas, the 2427 01:31:16,404 --> 01:31:18,539 mayor suggested a potential 2428 01:31:18,539 --> 01:31:20,975 amendment for the council to 2429 01:31:20,975 --> 01:31:22,376 consider up on the screen to 2430 01:31:22,376 --> 01:31:24,110 clarify any public or private 2431 01:31:24,110 --> 01:31:27,611 open space must not be fenced 2432

01:31:42,861 private facilities but this 2439 01:31:42,964 --> 01:31:45,964 clarifies they can't be fenced 2440 01:31:46,330 --> 01:31:47,935 off like drainage basins. 2441 01:31:47,935 --> 01:31:49,704 The public process so far has 2442 01:31:49,704 --> 01:31:52,104 included a planning commission 2443 01:31:52,673 --> 01:31:53,441 work session on SEPTEMBER 8th. 2444 01:31:53,441 -->

Any other questions from council 2729 01:43:43,221 --> 01:43:46,221 before we do public testimony? 2730 01:43:46,358 --> 01:43:49,358 >> I have one or two. 2731 01:43:53,866 --> 01:43:54,180 I am curious and this is 2732 01:43:54,180 --> 01:43:56,180 super-techy. 2733 01:43:59,505 --> 01:44:00,306 I am curious about the why all 2734 01:44:00,306 --> 01:44:03,906 overhead doors must be less than 2735 01:44:04,810 --> 01:44:05,440 8 feet wide except when they are 2736 01:44:05,440 --> 01:44:07,440 garages? 2737 01:44:07,460 --> 01:44:09,181 What is the point of that? 2738 01:44:09,181 --> 01:44:10,182 >> I should have had the slide 2739 01:44:10,182 --> 01:44:12,182 in here. 2740 01:44:12,718 --> 01:44:15,118 We received applications where 2741 01:44:17,923 --> 01:44:19,558 it looks and acts like garage, 2742 01:44:19,558 --> 01:44:20,692 they don't have driveway and no 2743 01:44:20,692 --> 01:44:22,692 second access. 2744 01:44:24,497 --> 01:44:25,498 They say not a garage. 2745 01:44:25,498 --> 01:44:27,100 It fits vehicles. 2746 01:44:27,100 --> 01:44:30,100 >> this is a residential house. 2747 01:44:30,703 --> 01:44:33,339 They are building an accessory 2748 01:44:33,339 --> 01:44:34,206 dwelling unit on first floor two 2749 01:44:34,206 --> 01:44:35,541 roll up garage doors. 2750 01:44:35,541 --> 01:44:37,776 Saying not a garage. 2751 01:44:37,776 --> 01:44:39,979 we have nothing in the code to 2752 01:44:39,979 --> 01:44:42,315 say that is a garage. 2753 01:44:42,315 --> 01:44:45,384 We are providing clarity on roll 2754 01:44:45,384 --> 01:44:47,987 up doors 8 feet or wider, get 2755 01:44:47,987 --> 01:44:50,223 car in there it is garage. 2756 01:44:50,223 --> 01:44:54,423 That helps us when they are only 2757 01:44:56,129 --> 01:44:57,630 allowed one access. 2758 01:44:57,630 --> 01:44:59,499 We know there will be illegal 2759 01:44:59,499 --> 01:45:01,167 access with the garage. 2760 01:45:01,167 --> 01:45:01,934 If they put in the garage they 2761 01:45:01,934 --> 01:45:03,670 won't have access. 2762 01:45:03,670 --> 01:45:05,438 We can address it then. 2763 01:45:05,438 --> 01:45:08,474 There is a lot of those roll up 2764 01:45:08,474 --> 01:45:10,710 doors where they are just 2765 01:45:10,710 --> 01:45:13,413 entrances into the living space 2766 01:45:13,413 --> 01:45:15,140 and less than 8 feet wide. 2767 01:45:15,140 --> 01:45:17,350 We know those are not going to 2768 01:45:17,350 --> 01:45:18,785 be parking vehicles. 2769 01:45:18,785 --> 01:45:20,887 We needed something in the code 2770 01:45:20,887 --> 01:45:22,455 to clarify what is garage door 2771 01:45:22,455 --> 01:45:25,158 and what is not garage door. 2772 01:45:25,158 --> 01:45:27,227 I had a great picture but it is 2773 01:45:27,227 --> 01:45:29,627 not in the powerpoint. 2774 01:45:30,597 --> 01:45:32,597 >> what about 2.3.500 2775 01:45:33,400 --> 01:45:34,701 architectural standards? 2776 01:45:34,701 --> 01:45:37,101 I read this today. 2777 01:45:37,136 --> 01:45:37,337 It is foggy now, I have to 2778 01:45:37,337 --> 01:45:39,337 admit. 2779 01:45:39,806 --> 01:45:41,307 I was curious about the why 2780 01:45:41,307 --> 01:45:43,643 behind that one again. 2781 01:45:43,643 --> 01:45:47,243 What is the point of this? 2782 01:45:47,347 --> 01:45:49,747 What is driving this? 2783 01:45:50,416 --> 01:45:54,160 On page 2 of the summary where 2784 01:45:56,790 --> 01:45:59,190 it is talked about. 2785 01:46:00,360 --> 01:46:02,360 Establishing design standards 2786 01:46:04,464 --> 01:46:06,299 prior design starts for 2787 01:46:06,299 --> 01:46:08,699 triplexes and quadplexes and 2788 01:46:10,570 --> 01:46:12,570 architectural review standards. 2789 01:46:13,340 --> 01:46:16,340 >> this one is the architectural 2790 01:46:16,343 --> 01:46:18,578 review standards are ground 2791 01:46:18,578 --> 01:46:20,578 floor level windows. 2792 01:46:21,314 --> 01:46:21,715 Easy to do on commercial 2793 01:46:21,715 --> 01:46:23,715 buildings. 2794 01:46:24,840 --> 01:46:26,186 All middle housing was in 2795 01:46:26,186 --> 01:46:28,186 commercial design standards. 2796 01:46:32,250 --> 01:46:32,280 We have window designs in mixed 2797 01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:34,280 use. 2798 01:46:35,762 --> 01:46:36,290 It is allowed duplex and triplex 2799 01:46:36,290 --> 01:46:38,290 and quad. 2800 01:46:41,435 --> 01:46:44,437 You would go to design standards 2801 01:46:44,437 --> 01:46:44,638 for duplex and triplexes and 2802 01:46:44,638 --> 01:46:46,638 quads. 2803 01:46:51,440 --> 01:46:51,378 >> it applies to these types of 2804 01:46:51,378 --> 01:46:51,978 developments? 2805 01:46:51,978 --> 01:46:52,245 >> yes, it doesn't change 2806 01:46:52,245 --> 01:46:54,245 anything. 2807 01:46:56,383 --> 01:46:59,383 We don't want commercial design 2808 01:47:00,387 --> 01:47:02,189 standards to apply. 2809 01:47:02,189 --> 01:47:04,589 >> just regarding open space. 2810 01:47:05,325 --> 01:47:06,560 I am not incline to disagree 2811 01:47:06,560 --> 01:47:08,560 with your recommendations. 2812 01:47:09,997 --> 01:47:11,732 Curious because as I read it, it 2813 01:47:11,732 --> 01:47:14,134 seems that it is up to the 2814 01:47:14,134 --> 01:47:14,968 developer if they want to meet 2815 01:47:14,968 --> 01:47:17,700 open space requirement with 2816 01:47:17,700 --> 01:47:18,605 public open space or private 2817 01:47:18,605 --> 01:47:20,605 open space. 2818 01:47:21,408 --> 01:47:22,750 I guess what are the safe guards 2819 01:47:22,750 --> 01:47:24,750 the community has? 2820 01:47:24,978 --> 01:47:26,747 We are not really allowing gated 2821 01:47:26,747 --> 01:47:28,248 communities any more. 2822 01:47:28,248 --> 01:47:30,150 >> those are not allowed. 2823 01:47:30,150 --> 01:47:32,550 >> private roads not allowed. 2824 01:47:33,253 --> 01:47:35,253 What are requirements? 2825 01:47:36,900 --> 01:47:39,226 How is park space designated in 2826 01:47:39,226 --> 01:47:42,226 master plan, how is connectivity 2827 01:47:42,396 --> 01:47:44,731 through trails or easements that 2828 01:47:44,731 --> 01:47:46,731 have connectivity? 2829 01:47:47,167 --> 01:47:50,167 >> there are two-parts of that. 2830 01:47:54,441 --> 01:47:56,443 One code amendment is 3.4500 2831 01:47:56,443 --> 01:47:58,443 park search areas. 2832 01:48:00,470 --> 01:48:01,480 Anything over 10 acres to this 2833 01:48:01,480 --> 01:48:03,480 particular section. 2834 01:48:03,500 --> 01:48:05,886 If they have a park that is 2835 01:48:05,886 --> 01:48:07,421 identified on the bend park and 2836 01:48:07,421 --> 01:48:09,821 recreation district park search 2837 01:48:10,257 --> 01:48:11,592 area map, they are required to 2838

01:48:18,332 for park in the area they don't 2842 01:48:18,332 --> 01:48:21,332 have to enter into those 2843 01:48:22,403 --> 01:48:24,338 negotiations or discussions. 2844 01:48:24,338 --> 01:48:27,938 Second one we have open space 2845 01:48:29,777 --> 01:48:31,112 area in 4.5 for master plans. 2846 01:48:31,112 --> 01:48:33,470 Whole other section for 2847 01:48:33,470 --> 01:48:35,470 connectivity requiring 2848 01:48:36,517 --> 01:48:36,717 connectivity through master plan 2849 01:48:36,717 --> 01:48:38,319 area. 2850 01:48:38,319 --> 01:48:40,870 You are guaranteed connectivity. 2851 01:48:40,870 --> 01:48:41,622 if park search area they are 2852 01:48:41,622 --> 01:48:42,723 required to meet with park 2853 01:48:42,723 --> 01:48:44,158 district. 2854 01:48:44,158 --> 01:48:46,894 If there isn't they can propose. 2855 01:48:46,894 --> 01:48:50,698 In this one in particular it is 2856 01:48:50,698 --> 01:48:51,365 open space tracts and a lot of 2857 01:48:51,365 --> 01:48:52,867 trails. 2858 01:48:52,867 --> 01:48:54,702 >> the connectivity requirement 2859 01:48:54,702 --> 01:48:57,305 not just within the master plan 2860 01:48:57,305 --> 01:49:01,420 but from the master plan out to 2861 01:49:01,420 --> 01:49:02,142 the rest of the adjacent land? 2862 01:49:02,142 --> 01:49:02,509 >> yes. 2863 01:49:02,509 --> 01:49:04,509 >> thanks.

01:49:33,410 --> 01:49:35,410 to do. 2882 01:49:38,513 --> 01:49:40,513 No problem. 2883 01:49:40,581 --> 01:49:42,581 >> good evening. 2884 01:49:44,552 --> 01:49:46,888 I am cary quada. 2885 01:49:46,888 --> 01:49:47,856 We care about protecting what 2886 01:49:47,856 --> 01:49:49,357 makes bend unique. 2887 01:49:49,357 --> 01:49:52,861 The trail is more than just a 2888 01:49:52,861 --> 01:49:54,696 path through the forest. 2889 01:49:54,696 --> 01:49:56,130 Living symbol of bend connection 2890 01:49:56,130 --> 01:49:56,397 to nature, recreation and 2891 01:49:56,397 --> 01:49:58,397 community. 2892 01:49:59,634 --> 01:50:02,570 The surrounding area which links 2893 01:50:02,570 --> 01:50:05,400 directly to the trail provides 2894 01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:06,307 vital open space for families, 2895 01:50:06,307 --> 01:50:08,307 hikers and cyclists. 2896 01:50:08,710 --> 01:50:10,779 Turning this land over to 2897 01:50:10,779 --> 01:50:12,779 commercial development 2898 01:50:13,515 --> 01:50:15,915 compromises integrity of canopy 2899 01:50:17,786 --> 01:50:19,721 trail and bend's identity. 2900 01:50:19,721 --> 01:50:21,890 It belongs to everyone to 2901 01:50:21,890 --> 01:50:22,657 replace with something to 2902 01:50:22,657 --> 01:50:24,657 benefit a few. 2903 01:50:24,993 --> 01:50:27,796 We ask the council to clarify 2904 01:50:27,796 --> 01:50:30,796 how it aligns with bend 2905 01:50:31,433 --> 01:50:33,301 commitment to sustainability, 2906 01:50:33,301 --> 01:50:35,690 transparency livability 2907 01:50:35,690 --> 01:50:35,837 commitments residents expect to 2908 01:50:35,837 --> 01:50:37,837 be honored. 2909 01:50:38,240 --> 01:50:41,240 When developed the canopy trail 2910 01:50:42,644 --> 01:50:42,878 and open space will be lost 2911 01:50:42,878 --> 01:50:44,846 forever. 2912 01:50:44,846 --> 01:50:48,446 We urge council to protect this 2913 01:50:50,752 --> 01:50:52,788 area choose legacy over short 2914 01:50:52,788 --> 01:50:56,388 term gain and save the trail. 2915 01:50:57,659 --> 01:50:59,227 >> we will go to in person. 2916 01:50:59,227 --> 01:51:00,762 Mark gentle. 2917 01:51:00,762 --> 01:51:02,970 >> hello, mayor, council. 2918 01:51:02,970 --> 01:51:02,964 Thank you for the opportunity to 2919 01:51:02,964 --> 01:51:04,964 speak. 2920 01:51:06,801 --> 01:51:08,801 Resident of bend. 2921 01:51:09,871 --> 01:51:12,871 When they added in 2023 that 2922 01:51:14,876 --> 01:51:18,460 open space must be open to the 2923 01:51:18,460 --> 01:51:18,313 public, it is perfectly 2924 01:51:18,313 --> 01:51:20,313 plausible. 2925 01:51:21,350 --> 01:51:23,180 It is good to hear that that was 2926 01:51:23,180 --> 01:51:25,180 the intent. 2927 01:51:25,687 --> 01:51:26,540 It raises a bigger broader 2928 01:51:26,540 --> 01:51:27,823 policy question. 2929 01:51:27,823 --> 01:51:29,825 I would recommend that because 2930 01:51:29,825 --> 01:51:31,493 this wasn't really taken up at 2931 01:51:31,493 --> 01:51:33,280 the planning commission, there 2932 01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:34,630 wasn't discussion about it. 2933 01:51:34,630 --> 01:51:37,132 This is the first time we have 2934 01:51:37,132 --> 01:51:38,567 heard this was the rationale for 2935 01:51:38,567 --> 01:51:40,268 putting those words in. 2936 01:51:40,268 --> 01:51:42,337 Now the rationale for taking 2937 01:51:42,337 --> 01:51:45,937 same words out two years later. 2938 01:51:50,245 --> 01:51:52,848 I recommend that you table this 2939 01:51:52,848 --> 01:51:54,950 particular portion of this 2940 01:51:54,950 --> 01:51:57,419 ordinance, send back to planning 2941 01:51:57,419 --> 01:51:59,722 commission, let there be more 2942 01:51:59,722 --> 01:52:02,240 robust dialogue, particularly on 2943 01:52:02,240 --> 01:52:03,692 the broader policy question of 2944 01:52:03,692 --> 01:52:06,920 how do you connect? 2945 01:52:08,831 --> 01:52:11,767 How do you avoid disputes among 2946 01:52:11,767 --> 01:52:14,300 neighbors when they see an open 2947 01:52:14,300 --> 01:52:15,400 space or trail and it turns out 2948 01:52:15,400 --> 01:52:17,400 it is private? 2949 01:52:18,574 --> 01:52:18,908 Is it going to be marked as no 2950 01:52:18,908 --> 01:52:19,875 trespassing? 2951 01:52:19,875 --> 01:52:22,875 is that the direction the 2952 01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:26,949 council really wants to go in 2953 01:52:26,949 --> 01:52:29,180 allowing this broad nonspecific 2954 01:52:29,180 --> 01:52:31,987 authority for developers to make 2955 01:52:31,987 --> 01:52:34,957 their own ad-hoc decision about 2956 01:52:34,957 --> 01:52:38,557 whether there is going to be 2957 01:52:38,994 --> 01:52:39,862 anybody or just nobody but us to 2958 01:52:39,862 --> 01:52:41,862 access this property? 2959 01:52:42,698 --> 01:52:43,165 I think it is broader 2960 01:52:43,165 --> 01:52:45,165 discussion. 2961 01:52:46,502 --> 01:52:49,502 I appreciate your time and 2962 01:52:49,838 --> 01:52:51,838 attention be. 2963 01:53:00,883 --> 01:53:01,951 >> karen johnson. 2964 01:53:01,951 --> 01:53:03,951 >> good evening. 2965 01:53:04,387 --> 01:53:06,787 I am karen johnson. 2966 01:53:10,192 --> 01:53:12,828 I just dropped my hearing aid. 2967 01:53:12,828 --> 01:53:14,330 The land use for the old farm 2968 01:53:14,330 --> 01:53:17,330 district speaking on behalf of 2969 01:53:18,701 --> 01:53:20,701 the board. 2970 01:53:22,939 --> 01:53:24,540 Bend development code 4.5.200. E 2971 01:53:24,540 --> 01:53:25,942 e.4 concerning green space in 2972 01:53:25,942 --> 01:53:27,942 master plans. 2973 01:53:29,445 --> 01:53:33,450 10% of the land must be green 2974 01:53:34,817 --> 01:53:35,785 space private or public. 2975 01:53:35,785 --> 01:53:38,254 If it's private section b 2976 01:53:38,254 --> 01:53:40,990 requires dedication if it is 2977 01:53:40,990 --> 01:53:42,959 parks department or city or to a 2978 01:53:42,959 --> 01:53:44,600 private corporation such as 2979 01:53:44,600 --> 01:53:46,600 homeowners association. 2980 01:53:46,229 --> 01:53:48,229 You look at (2). 2981 01:53:51,800 --> 01:53:53,503 If so the private open space 2982 01:53:53,503 --> 01:53:54,103 must be located in a tract 2983 01:53:54,103 --> 01:53:55,872 including open space easement. 2984 01:53:55,872 --> 01:53:58,272 What does that mean? 2985 01:53:59,909 --> 01:54:01,909 Open space easement. 2986 01:54:03,646 --> 01:54:04,747 Property right. 2987 01:54:04,747 --> 01:54:06,747 Particular individuals. 2988 01:54:06,950 --> 01:54:07,917 It means public. 2989 01:54:07,917 --> 01:54:09,917 Section d. 2990 01:54:17,827 --> 01:54:20,563 It says that the use -- it must 2991 01:54:20,563 --> 01:54:21,798 be open to the public. 2992 01:54:21,798 --> 01:54:22,699 Presumably the public is getting 2993 01:54:22,699 --> 01:54:24,699 the easement. 2994 01:54:25,735 --> 01:54:28,735 What this proposal does is 2995 01:54:29,380 --> 01:54:30,707 eliminate being open to the 2996 01:54:30,707 --> 01:54:32,642 public. 2997 01:54:32,642 --> 01:54:35,642 Allows developer to create open 2998 01:54:35,845 --> 01:54:38,140 space as part of master plan. 2999 01:54:38,140 --> 01:54:40,483 Exclude public from every square 3000 01:54:40,483 --> 01:54:41,510 inch of it that would include 3001 01:54:41,510 --> 01:54:42,952 trails. 3002 01:54:42,952 --> 01:54:46,656 Bend parks and rec is trying to 3003 01:54:46,656 --> 01:54:48,692 do a trail system including 3004 01:54:48,692 --> 01:54:51,920 entire city as written. 3005 01:54:51,161 --> 01:54:53,163 As proposed written it would 3006 01:54:53,163 --> 01:54:56,763 eliminate the right of people to 3007 01:54:57,000 --> 01:54:58,134 take a trail to a master plan. 3008 01:54:58,134 --> 01:55:00,437 I green with the prior comments. 3009 01:55:00,437 --> 01:55:02,439 I think this needs to go back to 3010 01:55:02,439 --> 01:55:04,341 planning commission to define 3011 01:55:04,341 --> 01:55:06,741 exactly what they mean. 3012 01:55:07,377 --> 01:55:09,546 To say an area is fenced off and 3013 01:55:09,546 --> 01:55:10,881 can be private. 3014 01:55:10,881 --> 01:55:11,848 Fenced does not mean people are 3015 01:55:11,848 --> 01:55:13,848 excluded from it. 3016 01:55:15,285 --> 01:55:16,153 As written right now you could 3017 01:55:16,153 --> 01:55:19,153 have tennis court but public 3018 01:55:21,591 --> 01:55:22,359 would be able to use that tennis 3019 01:55:22,359 --> 01:55:24,359 court. 3020 01:55:24,795 --> 01:55:26,263 Is that the way the city wants? 3021 01:55:26,263 --> 01:55:29,263 It needs to say so. 3022 01:55:30,533 --> 01:55:32,870 I think this has very bad policy 3023 01:55:32,870 --> 01:55:35,172 and it should go back to 3024 01:55:35,172 --> 01:55:35,672 planning commission for further 3025 01:55:35,672 --> 01:55:37,672 study. 3026 01:55:40,711 --> 01:55:42,479 Thank you. 3027 01:55:42,479 --> 01:55:44,479 >> thank you. 3028 01:55:58,795 --> 01:56:00,795 Roberta silverman. 3029 01:56:01,640 --> 01:56:03,640 >> resident of bend. 3030 01:56:03,267

--> 01:56:12,643 One of the most powerful levers 3034 01:56:12,643 --> 01:56:15,643 city has to balance growth 3035 01:56:15,846 --> 01:56:17,846 providing open recreational 3036 01:56:18,716 --> 01:56:19,717 green space to keep bend a 3037 01:56:19,717 --> 01:56:21,717 livable city. 3038 01:56:21,785 --> 01:56:24,388 Removing must be open to public 3039 01:56:24,388 --> 01:56:26,190 requirement creates dangerous 3040 01:56:26,190 --> 01:56:27,691 loophole in which developers 3041 01:56:27,691 --> 01:56:29,426 fulfill 10% requirement with 3042 01:56:29,426 --> 01:56:32,426 private open space closed and 3043 01:56:33,263 --> 01:56:36,263 off limits to general public. 3044 01:56:37,768 --> 01:56:38,969 It already exists in town. 3045 01:56:38,969 --> 01:56:40,404 Eliminating must be open to 3046 01:56:40,404 --> 01:56:42,239 public requirement is not small 3047 01:56:42,239 --> 01:56:42,706 change to clean up code 3048 01:56:42,706 --> 01:56:44,706 language. 3049 01:56:45,409 --> 01:56:48,980 It amounts to loss of public 3050 01:56:48,980 --> 01:56:51,248 benefit taxpayers and neighbors 3051 01:56:51,248 --> 01:56:53,248 reasonably expect from 3052 01:56:53,484 --> 01:56:53,684 entitlements granted at this 3053 01:56:53,684 --> 01:56:55,684 scale. 3054 01:56:56,200 --> 01:56:57,755 Code requires negotiation with 3055 01:56:57,755 --> 01:57:00,724 bend park and recfor acquisition 3056 01:57:00,724 --> 01:57:02,724 doesn't guarantee success. 3057 01:57:02,760 --> 01:57:05,160 Removing public access shifts 3058 01:57:05,296 --> 01:57:07,264 bargaining power away from bend 3059 01:57:07,264 --> 01:57:08,132 parks makes it easier for open 3060 01:57:08,132 --> 01:57:09,767 space private. 3061 01:57:09,767 --> 01:57:11,767 Matter of equity. 3062

at that in their session. 3072 01:57:49,907 --> 01:57:52,410 >> I want to give you a chance 3073 01:57:52,410 --> 01:57:55,613 if there is anything you want to 3074 01:57:55,613 --> 01:57:57,448

--> 01:58:35,687 parks and rec identified there 3088 01:58:35,687 --> 01:58:36,754 is need for a park, they have to 3089 01:58:36,754 --> 01:58:38,490 put a park. 3090 01:58:38,490 --> 01:58:41,359 They can put private open space 3091 01:58:41,359 --> 01:58:43,695 in there but they have to work 3092 01:58:43,695 --> 01:58:45,897 with parks and rec. 3093 01:58:45,897 --> 01:58:46,831 Trails are

01:58:54,500 --> 01:58:55,240 It wasn't robust discussion 3098 01:58:55,240 --> 01:58:57,640 because pauline explained map 3099 01:58:57,942 --> 01:58:59,811 and parks and rec assessment 3100

lot of times when we have 3133 02:00:15,187 --> 02:00:17,587 these piecemeal also talking 3134 02:00:18,491 --> 02:00:18,824 about three properties that are 3135 02:00:18,824 --> 02:00:20,824 unique. 3136 02:00:21,326 --> 02:00:22,270 It needs to be part of bigger 3137 02:00:22,270 --> 02:00:24,270 discussion. 3138 02:00:25,797 --> 02:00:27,232 Fire mitigation plan, shouldn't 3139 02:00:27,232 -->

through entire 3175 02:01:59,825 --> 02:02:00,260 master plan separate from open 3176 02:02:00,260 --> 02:02:02,260 space. 3177 02:02:02,962 --> 02:02:05,962 They have to meet connectivity 3178

02:02:30,789 --> 02:02:31,391 Any further discussion for 3189 02:02:31,391 --> 02:02:33,391 council? 3190 02:02:35,261 --> 02:02:37,931 I want to clarify our code right 3191 02:02:37,931 --> 02:02:40,931 now since 2017 have the ability 3192 02:02:40,967 --> 02:02:43,370 for master plan neighborhoods to 3193 02:02:43,370 --> 02:02:45,238 have private open space, public 3194 02:02:45,238 --> 02:02:45,972 open space or combination of 3195 02:02:45,972 --> 02:02:47,972 both. 3196 02:02:49,309 --> 02:02:50,510 What we have seen is usually 3197 02:02:50,510 --> 02:02:52,510 combination of both. 3198 02:02:52,712 --> 02:02:54,214 Park area we see parks in the 3199 02:02:54,214 --> 02:02:56,490 master plan areas. 3200 02:02:56,490 --> 02:02:58,584 This change tonight is not 3201 02:02:58,584 --> 02:02:59,180 changing what has been happening 3202 02:02:59,180 --> 02:03:01,180 since 2017. 3203 02:03:03,790 --> 02:03:05,790 Not creating that. 3204 02:03:06,726 --> 02:03:11,526 That d was not in the code until 3205 02:03:11,731 --> 02:03:14,131 2023 specifically to deal with 3206 02:03:15,268 --> 02:03:15,835 what pauline was worried someone 3207 02:03:15,835 --> 02:03:18,471 might claim was open space. 3208 02:03:18,471 --> 02:03:20,273 We want people to access open 3209 02:03:20,273 --> 02:03:21,708 space depending on the ownership 3210 02:03:21,708 --> 02:03:24,108 of the open space. 3211 02:03:24,577 --> 02:03:25,445 I am comfortable moving forward 3212 02:03:25,445 --> 02:03:26,780 tonight. 3213 02:03:26,780 --> 02:03:29,180 Bigger conversation to have 3214 02:03:29,916 --> 02:03:32,252 about master plan code and about 3215 02:03:32,252 --> 02:03:33,687 this public private open space 3216 02:03:33,687 --> 02:03:35,989 thing we can't resolve tonight. 3217 02:03:35,989 --> 02:03:37,257 This is cleanup palm lean is 3218 02:03:37,257 --> 02:03:39,259 trying to make clear to 3219 02:03:39,259 --> 02:03:40,760 to remove 3220 02:03:40,760 --> 02:03:42,760 in consistency. 3221 02:03:43,496 --> 02:03:46,300 I am willing to have bigger 3222 02:03:46,300 --> 02:03:47,100 conversation as we look towards 3223 02:03:47,100 --> 02:03:49,100 the growth plan. 3224 02:03:49,369 --> 02:03:50,971 I think that fits very well in 3225 02:03:50,971 --> 02:03:52,906 there and we can look at the 3226 02:03:52,906 --> 02:03:55,475 policy ramifications of how open 3227 02:03:55,475 --> 02:03:57,711 space is defined currently. 3228 02:03:57,711 --> 02:04:01,911 I think what we have got tonight 3229 02:04:02,480 --> 02:04:03,683 is a cleanup inconsistent part 3230 02:04:03,683 --> 02:04:05,218 of statute added two years ago I 3231 02:04:05,218 --> 02:04:07,220 am okay with cleaning that up. 3232 02:04:07,220 --> 02:04:08,789 The rest of the package makes 3233 02:04:08,789 --> 02:04:11,258 sense to me as well. 3234 02:04:11,258 --> 02:04:14,494 I want to acknowledge, yes, when 3235 02:04:14,494 --> 02:04:17,130 people saw that in truncated 3236 02:04:17,130 --> 02:04:18,398 form in package it is alarming 3237 02:04:18,398 --> 02:04:20,798 no public open space. 3238 02:04:21,768 --> 02:04:22,536 That is not what this means 3239 02:04:22,536 --> 02:04:23,503 tonight. 3240 02:04:23,503 --> 02:04:25,339 Any other thoughts. 3241 02:04:25,339 --> 02:04:27,374 >> I would be interested in 3242 02:04:27,374 --> 02:04:29,676 having the larger conversation 3243 02:04:29,676 --> 02:04:31,612 at some point in the future. 3244 02:04:31,612 --> 02:04:34,810 I think there is in some cases 3245 02:04:34,810 --> 02:04:36,350 there have been incidents where 3246 02:04:36,350 --> 02:04:38,750 developer has provided private 3247 02:04:39,786 --> 02:04:42,356 open space that they have been 3248 02:04:42,356 --> 02:04:42,990 turning to the park district and 3249 02:04:42,990 --> 02:04:45,192 besiege them to take over 3250 02:04:45,192 --> 02:04:48,192 because they can't afford to 3251 02:04:49,290 --> 02:04:49,830 maintain it or already used 3252 02:04:49,830 --> 02:04:51,830 cheap playground materials. 3253 02:04:51,899 --> 02:04:53,233 I would like to have that 3254 02:04:53,233 --> 02:04:54,268 conversation when keeping

02:05:01,942 probably better kept private. 3259 02:05:01,942 --> 02:05:04,278 Things like private pools. 3260 02:05:04,278 --> 02:05:04,912 There is more to this 3261 02:05:04,912 --> 02:05:06,912

neighborhoods we can. 3265 02:05:14,521 --> 02:05:16,123 I think that you characterize 3266 02:05:16,123 --> 02:05:18,580 this accurately. 3267 02:05:18,580 --> 02:05:20,270 Not a big change. 3268 02:05:20,270 --> 02:05:21,896 Policy neutral. 3269 02:05:21,896 --> 02:05:22,596 Let's have that conversation 3270 02:05:22,596 --> 02:05:24,596 another night. 3271 02:05:26,166 --> 02:05:28,166 >>

02:05:38,846 --> 02:05:39,113 proposal on the asi and the fuel 3276 02:05:39,113 --> 02:05:40,648 reduction. 3277 02:05:40,648 --> 02:05:42,316 I did notice in the public 3278 02:05:42,316 --> 02:05:44,716 testimony from parks district 3279 02:05:46,754 --> 02:05:49,490 and in conversation with coid 3280 02:05:49,490 --> 02:05:51,920 that exempting public agencies 3281 02:05:51,920 -->

02:06:01,999 maintain on behalf of the public 3285 02:06:03,804 --> 02:06:06,174 and trust seems like an 3286 02:06:06,174 --> 02:06:06,440 excessive sort of jurisdictional 3287 02:06:06,440 --> 02:06:08,900 oversight. 3288 02:06:08,900 --> 02:06:12,209 In sort of out of respect for 3289 02:06:12,480 --> 02:06:14,880 those agencies responsibility to 3290 02:06:17,318 --> 02:06:20,318 all constituents I would favor 3291 02:06:23,124 --> 02:06:24,292 exempting public agencies from 3292 02:06:24,292 --> 02:06:26,292 fuel. 3293 02:06:28,896 --> 02:06:30,765 >> it is a lot of acronyms.

discussed around 3301 02:06:43,177 --> 02:06:43,411 exemption versus type one 3302 02:06:43,411 --> 02:06:45,411 process? 3303 02:06:48,716 --> 02:06:50,752 >> it was briefly discussed. 3304

that 3317 02:07:18,780 --> 02:07:20,181 recommendation. 3318 02:07:20,181 --> 02:07:20,448 >> I am seeing nods from 3319 02:07:20,448 --> 02:07:22,448 planning. 3320 02:07:22,617 --> 02:07:23,451 Do you want to explain why you 3321 02:07:23,451 --> 02:07:25,851 didn't make that recommendation 3322 02:07:28,756 --> 02:07:30,756 at the podium? 3323 02:07:31,192 --> 02:07:34,192 >> we had a recent

02:07:39,501 --> 02:07:40,235 We felt it was excessive during 3328 02:07:40,235 --> 02:07:42,104 planning commission because it 3329 02:07:42,104 --> 02:07:43,304 was along the river. 3330 02:07:43,304 --> 02:07:45,304 We had oversight. 3331 02:07:45,807 --> 02:07:46,941 It required a lot of work to get 3332 02:07:46,941 --> 02:07:48,941 trees retained. 3333 02:07:49,210 -->

allow others to 3343 02:08:12,868 --> 02:08:15,137 have a different process than 3344 02:08:15,137 --> 02:08:16,238 what the city held itself to. 3345 02:08:16,238 --> 02:08:16,905 >> thank you for
