00:08:00,610 --> 00:08:01,979
continued again to allow staff

196
00:08:01,979 --> 00:08:03,814
additional time to study the

197
00:08:03,814 --> 00:08:05,315
fiscal impacts of the project

198
00:08:05,315 --> 00:08:07,715
and negotiate a development

199
00:08:07,751 --> 00:08:10,151
agreement. The project tonight

200
00:08:10,187 --> 00:08:11,488
was noticed for public hearing

201
00:08:11,488 --> 00:08:13,230
by placing a public hearing

202
00:08:13,230 --> 00:08:15,258
notice signs at First Street

203
00:08:15,258 --> 00:08:16,793
and Falcon Drive, running a

204
00:08:16,793 --> 00:08:19,262
public hearing notice ad in the

205
00:08:19,262 --> 00:08:20,931

217
00:08:41,594 --> 00:08:42,353
north of the Simi Valley town

218
00:08:42,353 --> 00:08:44,540
center, between First Street

219
00:08:44,540 --> 00:08:46,157
and the intersection of Erin jr

220
00:08:46,157 --> 00:08:47,524
Road and Falcon Street, and is

221
00:08:47,524 --> 00:08:49,226
located outside the city

222
00:08:49,226 --> 00:08:50,628
limits, but is within the

223
00:08:50,628 --> 00:08:51,895
sphere of influence and the

224
00:08:51,895 --> 00:08:53,197

225
00:08:53,197 --> 00:08:55,599
boundary, also known as the

226
00:08:55,599 --> 00:08:57,301
curb. The site is currently

227
00:08:57,301 --> 00:08:58,836
vacant and portions of the site

228
00:08:58,836 --> 00:09:00,638
have been previously disturbed

229
00:09:00,638 --> 00:09:02,305
with grading, unimproved dirt

230
00:09:02,305 --> 00:09:03,641
roads and placement of dirt

231
00:09:03,641 --> 00:09:06,760
from the Simi Valley town

232
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:07,911
center. Construction. Existing

233
00:09:07,911 --> 00:09:09,880
vegetation consists of coastal

234
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,880
sage scrub, small patches of

235
00:09:13,117 --> 00:09:15,117
cactus, highly disturbed

236
00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:17,188
non-native grass habitats, and

237
00:09:17,188 --> 00:09:18,789
riparian scrub. In some

238
00:09:18,789 --> 00:09:21,189
locations along the drainage

239
00:09:21,225 --> 00:09:22,526
courses and debris basins. The

240
00:09:22,526 --> 00:09:24,228
tree report for the project

241
00:09:24,228 --> 00:09:26,397
identified 16 trees on the

242
00:09:26,397 --> 00:09:28,650
property and most of the

243
00:09:28,650 --> 00:09:29,200
natural habitat on the site was

244
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,600
disturbed by the domestic

245
00:09:33,304 --> 00:09:34,605
animal grazing activities. This

246
00:09:34,605 --> 00:09:35,940
is a view of the project site

247
00:09:35,940 --> 00:09:39,760
from the end of Falcon Street,

248
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:40,311
looking west, and this is a

249
00:09:40,311 --> 00:09:41,278
view of the site from the end

250
00:09:41,278 --> 00:09:43,678
of First Street looking

251
00:09:45,983 --> 00:09:46,517
northeast. The city

252
00:09:46,517 --> 00:09:48,152
s general

253
00:09:48,152 --> 00:09:49,987
plan has designated. The North

254
00:09:49,987 --> 00:09:51,722
Canyon site as medium density

255
00:09:51,722 --> 00:09:53,722
residential. Moderate density

256
00:09:54,124 --> 00:09:55,926
residential and open space. In

257
00:09:55,926 --> 00:09:57,940
2005, a general plan

258
00:09:57,940 --> 00:09:58,696
pre-screened was reviewed by

259
00:09:58,696 --> 00:10:00,164
the City Council and granted

260
00:10:00,164 --> 00:10:01,498
authorization to proceed with

261
00:10:01,498 --> 00:10:03,601
an application for a General

262
00:10:03,601 --> 00:10:05,360
Plan amendment. The proposed

263
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,537
General Plan Amendment will not

264
00:10:06,537 --> 00:10:08,720
change the existing land use

265
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:09,540
designations, but will instead

266
00:10:09,540 --> 00:10:10,574
redistribute them to follow the

267
00:10:10,574 --> 00:10:12,710
boundary of the proposed

268
00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:14,645
development. Single family

269
00:10:14,645 --> 00:10:16,780
residential will be located in

270
00:10:16,780 --> 00:10:18,349
the medium density residential,

271
00:10:18,349 --> 00:10:19,783
land use and multifamily

272
00:10:19,783 --> 00:10:21,352
residential units will be in

273
00:10:21,352 --> 00:10:23,352
the moderate density.

274
00:10:26,123 --> 00:10:27,324
Residential land use. The North

275
00:10:27,324 --> 00:10:28,826
Canyon Project site is

276
00:10:28,826 --> 00:10:30,594
currently zoned County Open

277
00:10:30,594 --> 00:10:32,397
Space. As part of the

278
00:10:32,397 --> 00:10:33,964
annexation, the city will zone

279
00:10:33,964 --> 00:10:35,433
the project site to residential

280
00:10:35,433 --> 00:10:37,833
medium and residential moderate

281
00:10:37,902 --> 00:10:39,336
density and open space.

282
00:10:39,336 --> 00:10:41,706
Consistent with the project

283
00:10:41,706 --> 00:10:43,140
layout, the residential medium

284
00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:45,760
zone allows single family

285
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:46,544
residences, while the

286
00:10:46,544 --> 00:10:47,945
residential moderate zone

287
00:10:47,945 --> 00:10:49,146
allows both single family and

288
00:10:49,146 --> 00:10:51,146
multifamily residential

289
00:10:51,349 --> 00:10:52,583
development for the North

290
00:10:52,583 --> 00:10:53,751
Canyon Ranch project, the

291
00:10:53,751 --> 00:10:54,952
single family homes will be

292
00:10:54,952 --> 00:10:55,987
located in the residential

293
00:10:55,987 --> 00:10:57,554
medium zone, and the

294
00:10:57,554 --> 00:10:58,856
multifamily residential will be

295
00:10:58,856 --> 00:11:01,256
located in the Residential

296
00:11:05,950 --> 00:11:06,563
Moderate zone. The project site

297
00:11:06,563 --> 00:11:08,765
is proposed to be subdivided

298
00:11:08,765 --> 00:11:10,401
into 157 single family

299
00:11:10,401 --> 00:11:12,401
residential lots and 50

300
00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:14,371
multi-family residential units.

301
00:11:14,371 --> 00:11:15,740
The multifamily residential

302
00:11:15,740 --> 00:11:17,675
will either be senior housing

303
00:11:17,675 --> 00:11:19,510
or 25% affordable per the

304
00:11:19,510 --> 00:11:20,678
conditions. Proposed

305
00:11:20,678 --> 00:11:22,279
development will disturb

306
00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:24,448
approximately 90 acres of the

307
00:11:24,448 --> 00:11:26,584
site to create lots ranging in

308
00:11:26,584 --> 00:11:28,984
size between 5000ft and

309
00:11:33,557 --> 00:11:35,920
15,829ft in area. The project

310
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,328
will extend Falcon Street from

311
00:11:37,328 --> 00:11:38,596
First Street to r&r road and

312
00:11:38,596 --> 00:11:39,931
the General Plan Mobility

313
00:11:39,931 --> 00:11:41,665
section has identified this

314
00:11:41,665 --> 00:11:43,401
connection as an unbuilt minor

315
00:11:43,401 --> 00:11:44,301
arterial roadway, and by

316
00:11:44,301 --> 00:11:45,737
connecting the road, the

317
00:11:45,737 --> 00:11:48,137
project further complies with

318
00:11:50,141 --> 00:11:51,376
the General Plan. Two new one

319
00:11:51,376 --> 00:11:52,811
acre parks will also be

320
00:11:52,811 --> 00:11:54,879
included in the site identified

321
00:11:54,879 --> 00:11:56,181
here on the map, and site

322
00:11:56,181 --> 00:11:58,116
greeting will not result in

323
00:11:58,116 --> 00:11:59,117
soil being impacted. The

324
00:11:59,117 --> 00:12:02,117
remainder of the site will

325
00:12:04,188 --> 00:12:05,289
remain dedicated. Open space.

326
00:12:05,289 --> 00:12:06,691
The project site will be

327
00:12:06,691 --> 00:12:08,292
located within the Hillside

328
00:12:08,292 --> 00:12:09,927
Performance Standards or Https

329
00:12:09,927 --> 00:12:11,362
boundary. The purpose of the

330
00:12:11,362 --> 00:12:13,970
house is to preserve the

331
00:12:13,970 --> 00:12:14,765
hillside areas, promote single

332
00:12:14,765 --> 00:12:17,702
family housing in the hillside

333
00:12:17,702 --> 00:12:19,503
and slope areas. Less than 20%

334
00:12:19,503 --> 00:12:21,239
maintain open space and scenic

335
00:12:21,239 --> 00:12:23,639
resources and prohibit most

336
00:12:23,741 --> 00:12:24,976
grading on slopes over 20%.

337
00:12:24,976 --> 00:12:26,644
Residential density for

338
00:12:26,644 --> 00:12:28,246
projects in the house is not

339
00:12:28,246 --> 00:12:30,582
calculated using the underlying

340
00:12:30,582 --> 00:12:32,160
zoning, and is instead based on

341
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,384
slope density using the

342
00:12:33,384 --> 00:12:35,860
steepness of the land where the

343
00:12:35,860 --> 00:12:36,421
development is proposed to

344
00:12:36,421 --> 00:12:39,421
calculate the allowed number of

345
00:12:41,158 --> 00:12:42,760
units. On this map, the area

346
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,697
where slopes range between 0

347
00:12:44,697 --> 00:12:46,998
and 20% are shown in green,

348
00:12:46,998 --> 00:12:48,600
purple and red colors, and the

349
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,136
area that is gray or slopes

350
00:12:51,136 --> 00:12:52,503
over 20%. Based on the analysis

351
00:12:52,503 --> 00:12:56,103
of the slope map, the project

352
00:12:57,842 --> 00:12:59,243
can accommodate the 207 units.

353
00:12:59,243 --> 00:13:00,644
The project site is located

354
00:13:00,644 --> 00:13:02,800
within the state and Ventura

355
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:02,914

high fire hazard zone.

358
00:13:05,750 --> 00:13:06,784
Development of the site

359
00:13:06,784 --> 00:13:07,118
requires the fire department

360
00:13:07,118 --> 00:13:08,753
s

361
00:13:08,753 --> 00:13:10,555
approval of site plans for fire

362
00:13:10,555 --> 00:13:12,555
protection features, including

363
00:13:13,191 --> 00:13:14,859
adequate fire apparatus access,

364
00:13:14,859 --> 00:13:16,327
roadway widths, turnaround

365
00:13:16,327 --> 00:13:18,296
areas, placement of fire

366
00:13:18,296 --> 00:13:19,631
hydrants, installation of the

367
00:13:19,631 --> 00:13:21,166
fire sprinklers inside the

368
00:13:21,166 --> 00:13:22,601
houses, and establishment of

369
00:13:22,601 --> 00:13:24,503
fuel modification zones for

370
00:13:24,503 --> 00:13:25,837
brush clearance. The fire

371
00:13:25,837 --> 00:13:27,472
department has reviewed the

372
00:13:27,472 --> 00:13:28,706
tentative map for fire safety

373
00:13:28,706 --> 00:13:30,842
to ensure it conforms with the

374
00:13:30,842 --> 00:13:32,277
applicable codes, and the map

375
00:13:32,277 --> 00:13:34,445
was modified in response to

376
00:13:34,445 --> 00:13:36,445
fire Department comments,

377
00:13:37,415 --> 00:13:38,950
including removal of two lots,

378
00:13:38,950 --> 00:13:40,284
a fire protection plan and fuel

379
00:13:40,284 --> 00:13:42,284
modification plan has

380
00:13:43,522 --> 00:13:44,522
preliminary been reviewed and

381
00:13:44,522 --> 00:13:46,240
approved by the fire

382
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,259
Department. Together, they are

383
00:13:47,259 --> 00:13:48,559
designed to minimize fire

384
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,562
hazards and risks that MAY

385
00:13:50,562 --> 00:13:51,763
threaten life and property in

386
00:13:51,763 --> 00:13:53,310
the future. The fire department

387
00:13:53,310 --> 00:13:54,599
will also review the final

388
00:13:54,599 --> 00:13:56,201
landscaping plans to ensure

389
00:13:56,201 --> 00:13:57,690
that all plant materials comply

390
00:13:57,690 --> 00:13:59,469
with the fire department

391
00:14:01,606 --> 00:14:03,740
regulations. A unique design

392
00:14:03,740 --> 00:14:06,244
feature of the project is a 60

393
00:14:06,244 --> 00:14:07,445
foot high wall retaining wall.

394
00:14:07,445 --> 00:14:09,113
The wall is proposed to be

395
00:14:09,113 --> 00:14:10,515
located on the southwest area

396
00:14:10,515 --> 00:14:12,517
of the site, adjacent to the

397
00:14:12,517 --> 00:14:14,286
First Street extension. The

398
00:14:14,286 --> 00:14:15,754
wall will be stepped, with two

399
00:14:15,754 --> 00:14:18,230
different sections being 30ft

400
00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:20,225
tall and a ten foot wide step

401
00:14:20,225 --> 00:14:21,593
for drainage and landscaping.

402
00:14:21,593 --> 00:14:23,161
The purpose of the wall is to

403
00:14:23,161 --> 00:14:24,262
hold back the slope created by

404
00:14:24,262 --> 00:14:26,498
cutting in the First Street

405
00:14:26,498 --> 00:14:28,233
extension. The wall is a

406
00:14:28,233 --> 00:14:30,401
notable feature of the project.

407
00:14:30,401 --> 00:14:31,603
However, the design the design

408
00:14:31,603 --> 00:14:32,637
still requires final

409
00:14:32,637 --> 00:14:34,637
engineering design and

410
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:35,607
approval. Staff has discussed

411
00:14:35,607 --> 00:14:37,760
with the applicant

412
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:38,760
opportunities to obtain an

413
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:39,244
easement with the adjacent

414
00:14:39,244 --> 00:14:40,511
property owner, which could

415
00:14:40,511 --> 00:14:41,746
result in a design that would

416
00:14:41,746 --> 00:14:44,746
not require such a tall

417
00:14:47,385 --> 00:14:49,220
retaining wall. To develop the

418
00:14:49,220 --> 00:14:51,590
North Canyon Ranch site. The

419
00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:53,258
160 acre property and seven of

420
00:14:53,258 --> 00:14:54,859
the nine county islands must be

421
00:14:54,859 --> 00:14:57,696
annexed into the city limits by

422
00:14:57,696 --> 00:14:58,897
Ventura Lafco. Annexation of

423
00:14:58,897 --> 00:15:00,365
the North Canyon site is

424
00:15:00,365 --> 00:15:02,501
required because the site is

425
00:15:02,501 --> 00:15:04,202
larger than 40 acres, and by

426
00:15:04,202 --> 00:15:06,404
annexing North Canyon Ranch,

427
00:15:06,404 --> 00:15:07,939
Lafco policy also requires the

428
00:15:07,939 --> 00:15:11,539
annexation of seven of the nine

429
00:15:12,430 --> 00:15:14,379
county islands. The acronym

430
00:15:14,379 --> 00:15:15,981
Lafco stands for stands for

431
00:15:15,981 --> 00:15:17,749
Local Agency Formation

432
00:15:17,749 --> 00:15:19,117
Commission, and is a state

433
00:15:19,117 --> 00:15:20,419
agency that has the sole

434
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:21,720
authority over changes to the

435
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,120
city boundaries and special

436
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,625
districts. Lafco to discourage

437
00:15:26,625 --> 00:15:28,126
sprawl and encourage orderly

438
00:15:28,126 --> 00:15:29,628
development and establish the

439
00:15:29,628 --> 00:15:32,628
sphere of influence for each

440
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:35,667
city or agency. To initiate the

441
00:15:35,667 --> 00:15:35,967
annexation of North Canyon

442
00:15:35,967 --> 00:15:37,435
s

443
00:15:37,435 --> 00:15:38,937
ranch. The City Council must

444
00:15:38,937 --> 00:15:41,740
first recommend the city file

445
00:15:41,740 --> 00:15:43,108
an application with Lafco.

446
00:15:43,108 --> 00:15:44,543
Next, the city will formally

447
00:15:44,543 --> 00:15:46,278
apply for annexation of the

448
00:15:46,278 --> 00:15:48,646
North Canyon Ranch project site

449
00:15:48,646 --> 00:15:50,182
with Lafco, and then they will

450
00:15:50,182 --> 00:15:53,118
review the application at a

451
00:15:53,118 --> 00:15:54,686
public hearing, where the board

452
00:15:54,686 --> 00:15:58,286
will either approve or deny the

453
00:15:59,725 --> 00:16:00,625
annexation request. In 2000,

454
00:16:00,625 --> 00:16:02,160
the California State

455
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,620
Legislature significantly

456
00:16:04,620 --> 00:16:05,797
changed Lafco policy as part of

457
00:16:05,797 --> 00:16:07,797
the local Government

458
00:16:08,833 --> 00:16:10,202
Reorganization Act of 2000. As

459
00:16:10,202 --> 00:16:12,237
part of this new policy, the

460
00:16:12,237 --> 00:16:13,839
state legislature added a

461
00:16:13,839 --> 00:16:16,108
requirement for cities to annex

462
00:16:16,108 --> 00:16:18,508
county islands and removing

463
00:16:18,744 --> 00:16:20,479
Lafco discretion. Ventura Lafco

464
00:16:20,479 --> 00:16:22,879
adopted their island annexation

465
00:16:23,515 --> 00:16:25,717
policy in 2003 and requires

466
00:16:25,717 --> 00:16:27,787
when cities annex sites larger

467
00:16:27,787 --> 00:16:30,188
than 40 acres, the islands be

468
00:16:30,188 --> 00:16:31,656
annexed as well. The island

469
00:16:31,656 --> 00:16:33,226
annexation application will be

470
00:16:33,226 --> 00:16:35,227
submitted to Lafco after the

471
00:16:35,227 --> 00:16:35,928
North Canyon Ranch annexation

472
00:16:35,928 --> 00:16:37,229
is approved.

473
00:16:37,229 --> 00:16:39,229
Elizabeth. Sorry for

474
00:16:39,365 --> 00:16:42,100
interrupting. We appear to have

475
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:43,635
technical difficulties with

476
00:16:43,635 --> 00:16:45,370
regard to the live stream. Is

477
00:16:45,370 --> 00:16:45,437
that accurate?

478
00:16:45,437 --> 00:16:46,271
I mean, it

479
00:16:46,271 --> 00:16:48,641
s everything on my

480
00:16:48,641 --> 00:16:48,809
end, although I.

481
00:16:48,809 --> 00:16:49,775
We

482
00:16:49,775 --> 00:16:51,310
ll take a brief pause.

483
00:16:51,310 --> 00:16:53,745
If we could take a ten minute

484
00:16:53,745 --> 00:16:54,747
pause to see if we can rectify

485
00:16:54,747 --> 00:16:57,147
that. I apologize for

486
00:16:59,952 --> 00:17:01,952
interrupting.

487
00:21:15,575 --> 00:21:16,910
The video on YouTube.

488
00:21:16,910 --> 00:21:18,879
MR. CHAIRMAN, members of the

489
00:21:18,879 --> 00:21:20,580
commission. I think we have a

490
00:21:20,580 --> 00:21:21,470
Granicus live stream. It

491
00:21:21,470 --> 00:21:21,647
appears there

492
00:21:21,647 --> 00:21:23,647
s a technical

493
00:21:23,883 --> 00:21:25,885
difficulty with YouTube itself.

494
00:21:25,885 --> 00:21:26,353
As long as we have a live feed

495
00:21:26,353 --> 00:21:27,620
through the city

496
00:21:27,620 --> 00:21:28,922
s website or

497
00:21:28,922 --> 00:21:29,980
get to move forward, it

498
00:21:29,980 --> 00:21:30,189
s

499
00:21:30,189 --> 00:21:31,791
obviously up to the commission.

500
00:21:31,791 --> 00:21:32,993
If you want to move forward. My

501
00:21:32,993 --> 00:21:33,926
suggestion would be the backup

502
00:21:33,926 --> 00:21:35,362
for five minutes in your

503
00:21:35,362 --> 00:21:36,629
presentation and repeat that

504
00:21:36,629 --> 00:21:38,764
part of it so that at least we

505
00:21:38,764 --> 00:21:38,967
have that going out. Um, but

506
00:21:38,967 --> 00:21:39,666
I

507
00:21:39,666 --> 00:21:42,666
m happy to answer any

508
00:21:44,437 --> 00:21:44,631
questions or.

509
00:21:44,631 --> 00:21:45,538
I

510
00:21:45,538 --> 00:21:46,272
m on the website. Just go to

511
00:21:46,272 --> 00:21:46,453
the Planning Commission. I

512
00:21:46,453 --> 00:21:48,800
m

513
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:49,743
looking at the website. Okay.

514
00:21:49,743 --> 00:21:50,277
So your voice just came through

515
00:21:50,277 --> 00:21:52,277
on spectrum.

516
00:21:53,580 --> 00:21:53,846
Okay. Great. So you

517
00:21:53,846 --> 00:21:54,510
re you

518
00:21:54,510 --> 00:21:55,182
re

519
00:21:55,182 --> 00:21:56,490
clear to move forward if you if

520
00:21:56,490 --> 00:21:58,490
you so desire.

521
00:21:58,850 --> 00:21:59,152
Yeah I concur. Uh, shall we

522
00:21:59,152 --> 00:22:00,920
back up five minutes in that

523
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:01,154
presentation just to make sure

524
00:22:01,154 --> 00:22:02,189
that we

525
00:22:02,189 --> 00:22:02,455
re covered?

526
00:22:02,455 --> 00:22:03,523
Yeah, I

527
00:22:03,523 --> 00:22:04,223
m going to pick up

528
00:22:04,223 --> 00:22:05,859
where we start with the

529
00:22:05,859 --> 00:22:06,326
annexation. Okay. Does that

530
00:22:06,326 --> 00:22:07,494
sound good?

531
00:22:07,494 --> 00:22:07,794
Yeah. Annexation. That

532
00:22:07,794 --> 00:22:09,794
s good.

533
00:22:10,530 --> 00:22:11,164
Break point.

534
00:22:11,164 --> 00:22:13,164
I guess.

535
00:22:15,736 --> 00:22:17,204
Okay.

536
00:22:17,204 --> 00:22:20,804
Yeah. We still need our video

537
00:22:21,774 --> 00:22:24,774
feed on the screens here.

538
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:27,748
No, no. Yes.

539
00:22:27,748 --> 00:22:29,516
Sorry.

540
00:22:29,516 --> 00:22:30,550
Okay. So, yeah, you are coming

541
00:22:30,550 --> 00:22:31,551
through on spectrum because I

542
00:22:31,551 --> 00:22:33,954
just read your voice through

543
00:22:33,954 --> 00:22:37,900
the tv up by my house. So

544
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:38,391
spectrum is working. Yeah. Here

545
00:22:38,391 --> 00:22:39,926
we go. Live again. All the

546
00:22:39,926 --> 00:22:40,761
life. Okay. Granicus is working

547
00:22:40,761 --> 00:22:41,562
or not?

548
00:22:41,562 --> 00:22:42,829
All right. Can we get our

549
00:22:42,829 --> 00:22:46,429
screens back up here at the

550
00:23:01,982 --> 00:23:03,150
dais there on. Still in recess.

551
00:23:03,150 --> 00:23:05,685
Hey, the good news is the air

552
00:23:05,685 --> 00:23:08,850
conditioning is working right?

553
00:23:09,288 --> 00:23:11,288
Yeah.

554
00:23:18,232 --> 00:23:18,478
Right.

555
00:23:18,478 --> 00:23:20,478
That

556
00:23:31,111 --> 00:23:33,111
s.

557
00:23:49,897 --> 00:23:52,199
So as we see ourself.

558
00:23:52,199 --> 00:23:53,767
Okay, okay.

559
00:23:53,767 --> 00:23:54,502
It looks like the reboot has

560
00:23:54,502 --> 00:23:55,100
occurred. So we

561
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:56,870

00:23:56,870 --> 00:24:01,700

563
00:24:02,843 --> 00:24:03,543
the annexation slide.

564
00:24:03,543 --> 00:24:04,211

So things.

00:24:32,206 --> 00:24:33,674
back to the slide with the

583
00:24:33,674 --> 00:24:36,674
annexation and go forward from

584
00:24:38,745 --> 00:24:41,145
there. Thank you all.

585
00:24:42,149 --> 00:24:42,716
Up. Now, on that one right

586
00:24:42,716 --> 00:24:44,652
there.

587
00:24:44,652 --> 00:24:46,652
Excellent. Okay.

588
00:24:47,721 --> 00:24:48,956
Thank you. Everybody.

589
00:24:48,956 --> 00:24:50,424
Okay.

590
00:24:50,424 --> 00:24:52,626
To develop the North Canyon

591
00:24:52,626 --> 00:24:53,961
Ranch site, the property and

592
00:24:53,961 --> 00:24:55,463
seven of the county islands

593
00:24:55,463 --> 00:24:57,231
must be annexed into the city

594
00:24:57,231 --> 00:24:59,366
limits by Ventura Lafco

595
00:24:59,366 --> 00:25:00,901
annexation of the of the North

596
00:25:00,901 --> 00:25:02,269
Canyon site is required because

597
00:25:02,269 --> 00:25:04,238
the site is larger than 40

598
00:25:04,238 --> 00:25:06,140
acres. And by annexing North

599
00:25:06,140 --> 00:25:07,874
Canyons Ranch. Lafco policy

600
00:25:07,874 --> 00:25:08,943
also requires annexation of

601
00:25:08,943 --> 00:25:11,943
seven of the nine county

602
00:25:13,247 --> 00:25:15,820
islands. The acronym Lafco

603
00:25:15,820 --> 00:25:18,180
stands for Local Area Formation

604
00:25:18,180 --> 00:25:19,620
Commission. Local Agency

605
00:25:19,620 --> 00:25:21,355
Formation Commission, and is a

606
00:25:21,355 --> 00:25:23,230
state agency that has a sole

607
00:25:23,230 --> 00:25:24,158
authority over changes to city

608
00:25:24,158 --> 00:25:26,158
boundaries and special

609
00:25:26,527 --> 00:25:28,620
districts. Lafco is discourage

610
00:25:28,620 --> 00:25:29,730
sprawl and encourage orderly

611
00:25:29,730 --> 00:25:31,650
development and establish the

612
00:25:31,650 --> 00:25:34,650
sphere of influence for each

613
00:25:35,169 --> 00:25:36,504
city or agency to initiate the

614
00:25:36,504 --> 00:25:38,105
annexation of North Canyon

615
00:25:38,105 --> 00:25:39,607
Ranch. The City Council must

616
00:25:39,607 --> 00:25:41,642
first recommend the city file

617
00:25:41,642 --> 00:25:43,143
an application with Lafco.

618
00:25:43,143 --> 00:25:44,978
Next, the city will formally

619
00:25:44,978 --> 00:25:47,148
apply for annexation of the

620
00:25:47,148 --> 00:25:49,317
North Canyon Ranch project site,

621
00:25:49,317 --> 00:25:50,451
and then Lafco will review. The

622
00:25:50,451 --> 00:25:52,200
will then review the

623
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,220
application, and at a public

624
00:25:53,220 --> 00:25:54,889
hearing, the board will either

625
00:25:54,889 --> 00:25:57,889
approve or deny the annexation

626
00:25:59,226 --> 00:26:00,995
request. In 2000, the

627
00:26:00,995 --> 00:26:02,730
California State Legislature

628
00:26:02,730 --> 00:26:04,498
significantly changed Lafco

629
00:26:04,498 --> 00:26:06,670
policy as part of the Local

630
00:26:06,670 --> 00:26:08,670
Government Reorganization Act

631
00:26:08,502 --> 00:26:10,370
of 2000. As part of this new

632
00:26:10,370 --> 00:26:11,939
policy, the state legislature

633
00:26:11,939 --> 00:26:14,420
added a requirement for cities

634
00:26:14,420 --> 00:26:16,711
to annex county islands and

635
00:26:16,711 --> 00:26:18,112
removed Lafco discretion.

636
00:26:18,112 --> 00:26:19,647
Ventura Lafco adopted their

637
00:26:19,647 --> 00:26:22,470
island annexation policy in

638
00:26:22,349 --> 00:26:23,918
2003, and requires when cities

639
00:26:23,918 --> 00:26:25,486
annex sites larger than 40

640
00:26:25,486 --> 00:26:27,822
acres, the islands be annexed

641
00:26:27,822 --> 00:26:29,156
as well. The island annexation

642
00:26:29,156 --> 00:26:30,925
application will be submitted

643
00:26:30,925 --> 00:26:34,525
to Lafco after the North Canyon

644
00:26:34,562 --> 00:26:36,164
Ranch annexation is approved.

645
00:26:36,164 --> 00:26:37,664
This map shows the location of

646
00:26:37,664 --> 00:26:39,700
the seven county islands to be

647
00:26:39,700 --> 00:26:41,340
annexed. County Islands six and

648
00:26:41,340 --> 00:26:42,370
nine are crossed out and are

649
00:26:42,370 --> 00:26:45,639
not part of the of this

650
00:26:45,639 --> 00:26:47,141
application. Due to their size

651
00:26:47,141 --> 00:26:48,843
in the future, these count

652
00:26:48,843 --> 00:26:50,278
these county islands six and

653
00:26:50,278 --> 00:26:51,345
nine could seek annexation

654
00:26:51,345 --> 00:26:53,345
individually for future

655
00:26:53,581 --> 00:26:55,981
development projects. A total

656
00:26:56,150 --> 00:26:57,184
of 437 lots will be annexed,

657
00:26:57,184 --> 00:26:59,887
with a total area of

658
00:26:59,887 --> 00:27:01,823
approximately 302 acres.

659
00:27:01,823 --> 00:27:03,157
Existing uses in the annexation

660
00:27:03,157 --> 00:27:05,557
areas are primarily single

661
00:27:07,610 --> 00:27:08,529
family residential.

662
00:27:08,529 --> 00:27:09,964
Unincorporated county. Island

663
00:27:09,964 --> 00:27:11,465
properties are zoned in

664
00:27:11,465 --> 00:27:13,367
anticipation of being annexed

665
00:27:13,367 --> 00:27:15,169
into the city. County. Island

666
00:27:15,169 --> 00:27:16,637
eight. The Sinaloa Lake area,

667
00:27:16,637 --> 00:27:18,740
however, was not pre zoned

668
00:27:18,740 --> 00:27:19,940
previously. The pre zoning

669
00:27:19,940 --> 00:27:21,609
considers the existing

670
00:27:21,609 --> 00:27:22,943
activities of the site that are

671
00:27:22,943 --> 00:27:24,278
both residential and open

672
00:27:24,278 --> 00:27:26,648
space, as well as animal

673
00:27:26,648 --> 00:27:28,182
keeping activities. Island

674
00:27:28,182 --> 00:27:29,984
eight will be pre zoned to

675
00:27:29,984 --> 00:27:32,384
residential estate with farm

676
00:27:32,553 --> 00:27:34,553
animal overlay, residential

677
00:27:34,922 --> 00:27:36,991
very low, residential low and

678
00:27:36,991 --> 00:27:38,459
open space. The farm Animal

679
00:27:38,459 --> 00:27:40,610
overlay will continue to allow

680
00:27:40,610 --> 00:27:42,461
the animal raising activities

681
00:27:43,798 --> 00:27:45,266
allowed by the county. After

682
00:27:45,266 --> 00:27:46,901
the county Islands are annexed

683
00:27:46,901 --> 00:27:48,303
into the city. Residents will

684
00:27:48,303 --> 00:27:49,404
experience some changes to the

685
00:27:49,404 --> 00:27:51,404
services they currently

686
00:27:51,739 --> 00:27:53,141
receive. Law enforcement will

687
00:27:53,141 --> 00:27:53,374
transfer from Ventura County

688
00:27:53,374 --> 00:27:54,742

690
00:27:57,211 --> 00:27:58,246
Valley Police Department.

691
00:27:58,246 --> 00:27:59,647
Building permits will be

692
00:27:59,647 --> 00:28:01,549
reviewed and issued by the City

693
00:28:01,549 --> 00:28:03,350
of Simi Valley, and code

694
00:28:03,350 --> 00:28:04,719
enforcement will be transferred

695
00:28:04,719 --> 00:28:06,955
to the City of Simi Valley as

696
00:28:06,955 --> 00:28:07,129
well. However, some services

697
00:28:07,129 --> 00:28:08,956
won

698
00:28:08,956 --> 00:28:10,392
t change. Ventura County

699
00:28:10,392 --> 00:28:12,792
Fire Department will continue

700
00:28:12,927 --> 00:28:14,462
to respond to calls. Waterworks

701
00:28:14,462 --> 00:28:16,998
district eight will continue to

702
00:28:16,998 --> 00:28:18,399
provide water. If your property

703
00:28:18,399 --> 00:28:20,340
is currently on septic, the

704
00:28:20,340 --> 00:28:21,903
city will not require you to

705
00:28:21,903 --> 00:28:24,205
connect to city sewer until

706
00:28:24,205 --> 00:28:26,410
there is a health safety issue

707
00:28:26,410 --> 00:28:28,750
or a resident builds a new

708
00:28:28,750 --> 00:28:30,475
single family residence, sb9

709
00:28:31,346 --> 00:28:32,881
unit or an Adu. Preexisting

710
00:28:32,881 --> 00:28:34,482
permitted uses allowed by the

711
00:28:34,482 --> 00:28:35,650
county will continue to be

712
00:28:35,650 --> 00:28:37,650
allowed, including animal

713
00:28:39,821 --> 00:28:41,956
keeping. The project was

714
00:28:41,956 --> 00:28:43,191
continued in 2025 because of

715
00:28:43,191 --> 00:28:45,260
concerns related to the

716
00:28:45,260 --> 00:28:46,360
financial impacts of annexing

717
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,930
the county islands into the

718
00:28:48,930 --> 00:28:50,765
city. A fiscal impact analysis

719
00:28:50,765 --> 00:28:52,867
was prepared for the annexation

720
00:28:52,867 --> 00:28:54,268
and found without the North

721
00:28:54,268 --> 00:28:55,904
Canyon Ranch development, the

722
00:28:55,904 --> 00:28:58,904
county islands will generate an

723
00:28:59,307 --> 00:29:00,909
annual deficit of $142,000.

724
00:29:00,909 --> 00:29:01,943
This will eventually be offset

725
00:29:01,943 --> 00:29:02,877
by North Canyon Ranch

726
00:29:02,877 --> 00:29:04,479
development, which will

727
00:29:04,479 --> 00:29:07,479
generate an annual surplus of

728
00:29:08,449 --> 00:29:10,351
$1,229 per residence. The city

729
00:29:10,351 --> 00:29:11,953
and developer have negotiated a

730
00:29:11,953 --> 00:29:14,353
development agreement to offset

731
00:29:15,724 --> 00:29:17,158
the deficit. The development

732
00:29:17,158 --> 00:29:18,993
agreement offsetting the

733
00:29:18,993 --> 00:29:20,395
deficit generated by the island

734
00:29:20,395 --> 00:29:22,795
annexation with payment of

735
00:29:26,534 --> 00:29:28,534
$141,884 annually. Once, once.

736
00:29:30,905 --> 00:29:31,506
North Kane is once annexed

737
00:29:31,506 --> 00:29:32,106
until North Kane

738
00:29:32,106 --> 00:29:34,750
s is fully

739
00:29:34,750 --> 00:29:35,510
developed. The developer will

740
00:29:35,510 --> 00:29:36,711
also provide public benefits,

741
00:29:36,711 --> 00:29:38,546
including the extension of

742
00:29:38,546 --> 00:29:40,749
Falcon Street, constructing a

743
00:29:40,749 --> 00:29:42,650
fire access road, dedicating

744
00:29:42,650 --> 00:29:45,153
land for public trails, and

745
00:29:45,153 --> 00:29:46,421
paying $150,000 each to the

746
00:29:46,421 --> 00:29:49,421
public arts program and the

747
00:29:50,993 --> 00:29:52,993
library building improvements.

748
00:29:53,228 --> 00:29:54,429
At the JANUARY 22nd Planning

749
00:29:54,429 --> 00:29:56,598
Commission meeting, the public

750
00:29:56,598 --> 00:29:58,800
comments asked the following

751
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,869
questions. As we discussed.

752
00:30:00,869 --> 00:30:02,237
Lafco policy requires island

753
00:30:02,237 --> 00:30:04,272
annexation of North Canyon

754
00:30:04,272 --> 00:30:06,410
Ranch. Annexation is approved

755
00:30:06,410 --> 00:30:07,308
and a fiscal impact analysis

756
00:30:07,308 --> 00:30:08,910
was prepared to study the

757
00:30:08,910 --> 00:30:11,310
fiscal, the financial impacts

758
00:30:11,312 --> 00:30:12,681
of island annexation. The

759
00:30:12,681 --> 00:30:13,148
annexed homes will not count

760
00:30:13,148 --> 00:30:14,916
towards the city

761
00:30:14,916 --> 00:30:15,917
s arena. Water

762
00:30:15,917 --> 00:30:17,685
for the project will be

763
00:30:17,685 --> 00:30:19,988
supplied by Waterworks District

764
00:30:19,988 --> 00:30:21,957
eight, who have stated that

765
00:30:21,957 --> 00:30:22,557
5.6% of the city

766
00:30:22,557 --> 00:30:24,557
s water

767
00:30:24,826 --> 00:30:27,395
surplus will be used by the

768
00:30:27,395 --> 00:30:28,997
development. The eir identified

769
00:30:28,997 --> 00:30:30,198
potential bus stops on Falcon

770
00:30:30,198 --> 00:30:31,232
Street, which will be further

771
00:30:31,232 --> 00:30:32,568
studied and determined if

772
00:30:32,568 --> 00:30:34,968
necessary as a project

773
00:30:35,170 --> 00:30:37,439
progresses. No traffic calming

774
00:30:37,439 --> 00:30:39,541
devices will be installed on

775
00:30:39,541 --> 00:30:41,376
Milestone Avenue in response to

776
00:30:41,376 --> 00:30:43,211
North Canyon Ranch development,

777
00:30:43,211 --> 00:30:44,646
and Milestone Avenue is a

778
00:30:44,646 --> 00:30:46,480
public street, and in order to

779
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:47,248
install gates, the streets

780
00:30:47,248 --> 00:30:50,848
would have to be abandoned and

781
00:30:52,487 --> 00:30:53,789
privatized. In eir was prepared

782
00:30:53,789 --> 00:30:55,324
for the project, which studied

783
00:30:55,324 --> 00:30:57,920
both the North Canyon Ranch and

784
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,161
the island. Annexation. The

785
00:30:59,161 --> 00:31:00,229
purpose of the of an eir is to

786
00:31:00,229 --> 00:31:01,429
disclose the potential

787
00:31:01,429 --> 00:31:03,265
environmental impacts of the

788
00:31:03,265 --> 00:31:04,566
project. All feasible

789
00:31:04,566 --> 00:31:06,670
mitigation measures that could

790
00:31:06,670 --> 00:31:09,670
reduce, that could reduce or

791
00:31:09,270 --> 00:31:10,772
eliminate those impacts, and

792
00:31:10,772 --> 00:31:12,207
suggest and investigate

793
00:31:12,207 --> 00:31:13,475
alternatives to the project,

794
00:31:13,475 --> 00:31:14,877
which MAY be environmentally

795
00:31:14,877 --> 00:31:17,612
superior to the project. As

796
00:31:17,612 --> 00:31:18,646
proposed. The city determined

797
00:31:18,646 --> 00:31:19,982
the project MAY have a

798
00:31:19,982 --> 00:31:21,716
significant impact on the on

799
00:31:21,716 --> 00:31:23,985
the environment and prepared an

800
00:31:23,985 --> 00:31:25,587
eir. Mitigation measures are

801
00:31:25,587 --> 00:31:26,888
provided to lessen the impacts,

802
00:31:26,888 --> 00:31:28,324
to less than, less than

803
00:31:28,324 --> 00:31:29,725
significant, and are contained

804
00:31:29,725 --> 00:31:32,125
in the mitigation, monitoring

805
00:31:32,594 --> 00:31:33,662
and Reporting Program. Our

806
00:31:33,662 --> 00:31:35,197
Sequoia consultant, Laura

807
00:31:35,197 --> 00:31:36,665
Kaufman, is here tonight to

808
00:31:36,665 --> 00:31:38,233
answer questions regarding the

809
00:31:38,233 --> 00:31:40,633
eir process and mitigation

810
00:31:43,472 --> 00:31:45,141
measures. To approve the North

811
00:31:45,141 --> 00:31:46,475
Canyon Ranch Project. Findings

812
00:31:46,475 --> 00:31:47,676
must be made that the project

813
00:31:47,676 --> 00:31:49,411
is consistent with the General

814
00:31:49,411 --> 00:31:51,881
Plan and Simi Valley Municipal

815
00:31:51,881 --> 00:31:53,282
Code. There are no impacts to

816
00:31:53,282 --> 00:31:55,350
the public health, safety or

817
00:31:55,350 --> 00:31:56,719
welfare. The project is

818
00:31:56,719 --> 00:31:58,621
consistent with the Residential

819
00:31:58,621 --> 00:31:59,821
Design Guidelines Subdivision

820
00:31:59,821 --> 00:32:01,890
Map Act and Hillside

821
00:32:01,890 --> 00:32:03,225
Performance Standards. If the

822
00:32:03,225 --> 00:32:04,726
Planning Commission chooses to

823
00:32:04,726 --> 00:32:06,280
deny the project tonight, they

824
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,463
must find the project is

825
00:32:07,463 --> 00:32:09,863
inconsistent with the findings

826
00:32:11,133 --> 00:32:12,301
contained in the resolution.

827
00:32:12,301 --> 00:32:13,368
And staff recommends the

828
00:32:13,368 --> 00:32:14,769
Planning Commission make a

829
00:32:14,769 --> 00:32:16,237
recommendation of approval to

830
00:32:16,237 --> 00:32:17,573
the City Council of the

831
00:32:17,573 --> 00:32:19,141
Annexation General Plan

832
00:32:19,141 --> 00:32:20,609
Amendment Zone Change Plan,

833
00:32:20,609 --> 00:32:22,344
development permit. Tentative

834
00:32:22,344 --> 00:32:24,546
map development Agreement and

835
00:32:24,546 --> 00:32:26,315
eir and the County Island

836
00:32:26,315 --> 00:32:27,683
Annexation and Free Zone. And

837
00:32:27,683 --> 00:32:27,983
this concludes my presentation

838
00:32:27,983 --> 00:32:28,751
and staff

839
00:32:28,751 --> 00:32:30,751
s available for

840
00:32:31,253 --> 00:32:31,554
questions.

841
00:32:31,554 --> 00:32:33,155
Uh.

842
00:32:33,155 --> 00:32:35,555
Any commissioner questions of

843
00:32:42,765 --> 00:32:44,765
staff?

844
00:32:48,370 --> 00:32:48,275
Thank you. Okay.

845
00:32:48,275 --> 00:32:50,275
I

846
00:32:51,674 --> 00:32:53,142
m gonna start. Um, can we

847
00:32:53,142 --> 00:32:54,744
explain a little bit more? What

848
00:32:54,744 --> 00:32:56,212
would be the financial impact

849
00:32:56,212 --> 00:32:58,481
on the city of the project was

850
00:32:58,481 --> 00:32:59,548
to be improved, approved. And

851
00:32:59,548 --> 00:33:00,349
if the developer doesn

852
00:33:00,349 --> 00:33:02,151
t start

853
00:33:02,151 --> 00:33:03,953
developing the project in a

854
00:33:03,953 --> 00:33:06,488
timely manner. But we already

855
00:33:06,488 --> 00:33:10,880
are in the process of annexing

856
00:33:15,430 --> 00:33:17,430
the unincorporated.

857
00:33:17,433 --> 00:33:17,633
So the fiscal impact analysis

858
00:33:17,633 --> 00:33:19,633
that

859
00:33:19,635 --> 00:33:22,400
s attached to the Da, um,

860
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:23,439
it identified that the island

861
00:33:23,439 --> 00:33:26,439
annexations will cost the city

862
00:33:26,642 --> 00:33:29,420
$142,000. And based upon that

863
00:33:31,113 --> 00:33:34,113
number, the Da was negotiated

864
00:33:36,552 --> 00:33:37,720
requiring that. Until North

865
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,889
Canyon Ranch is fully

866
00:33:39,889 --> 00:33:41,690
developed, the developer will

867
00:33:41,690 --> 00:33:44,727
be paying money into the city

868
00:33:44,727 --> 00:33:46,262
funds to offset that deficit

869
00:33:46,262 --> 00:33:48,164
incurred by annexing the

870
00:33:48,164 --> 00:33:50,164
islands.

871
00:33:50,165 --> 00:33:51,867
So what would be the timeline

872
00:33:51,867 --> 00:33:54,300
for the annexations? Like what?

873
00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:55,304
How would that happen if if we

874
00:33:55,304 --> 00:33:58,600
were to approve this, if the

875
00:33:58,600 --> 00:33:59,642
city Council was to approve.

876
00:33:59,642 --> 00:34:00,676
What the timeline would be to

877
00:34:00,676 --> 00:34:01,577
the island annexation?

878
00:34:01,577 --> 00:34:03,446
Yeah.

879
00:34:03,446 --> 00:34:06,149
Um, based upon the timeline

880
00:34:06,149 --> 00:34:08,850
with, um, with Lafco, it could,

881
00:34:08,850 --> 00:34:11,850
um, the North Canyon Ranch

882
00:34:11,987 --> 00:34:13,823
process could take

883
00:34:13,823 --> 00:34:14,123
approximately over a year. And

884
00:34:14,123 --> 00:34:16,910
then there

885
00:34:16,910 --> 00:34:16,292
s ways to extend it.

886
00:34:16,292 --> 00:34:17,492
There

887
00:34:17,492 --> 00:34:18,861
s time extensions that

888
00:34:18,861 --> 00:34:21,230
that can be granted before they

889
00:34:21,230 --> 00:34:22,331
have to annex the island.

890
00:34:22,331 --> 00:34:24,233
Annexations. It could be

891
00:34:24,233 --> 00:34:26,269
approximately five years before

892
00:34:26,269 --> 00:34:27,804
we annex the islands.

893
00:34:27,804 --> 00:34:27,979
Thank you. And if we were I

894
00:34:27,979 --> 00:34:28,571
m

895
00:34:28,571 --> 00:34:29,500
not saying that that

896
00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:30,606
s going to

897
00:34:30,606 --> 00:34:32,942
happen, but if we were to have

898
00:34:32,942 --> 00:34:34,477
a Runkle Canyon situation, what

899
00:34:34,477 --> 00:34:36,812
would be the long term effect

900
00:34:36,812 --> 00:34:37,981
to the city?

901
00:34:37,981 --> 00:34:38,147
You want to define.

902
00:34:38,147 --> 00:34:40,820
The.

903
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,820
Rock Canyon situation?

904
00:34:42,551 --> 00:34:44,755
Oh, yes. Uh, yes. That is, uh,

905
00:34:44,755 --> 00:34:47,755
a 20 year delay with many

906
00:34:47,823 --> 00:34:50,823
extensions and not the project

907
00:34:54,129 --> 00:34:54,997
was not being finished. I asked

908
00:34:54,997 --> 00:34:56,310
a question.

909
00:34:56,310 --> 00:34:57,100
Can you help answer that.

910
00:34:57,100 --> 00:34:58,201
Question.

911
00:34:58,201 --> 00:35:01,201
MR. CHAIRMAN? Members of the

912
00:35:01,236 --> 00:35:03,639
commission. So this is a very

913
00:35:03,639 --> 00:35:06,390
different situation than a

914
00:35:06,743 --> 00:35:08,544
project that happened 20 years

915
00:35:08,544 --> 00:35:09,912
ago. Uh, what was built into

916
00:35:09,912 --> 00:35:11,914
the development agreement and

917
00:35:11,914 --> 00:35:13,749
the developers agreed to is to

918
00:35:13,749 --> 00:35:14,651
ensure that the city is

919
00:35:14,651 --> 00:35:14,850
protected and that we don

920
00:35:14,850 --> 00:35:16,486
t

921
00:35:16,486 --> 00:35:18,187
have a similar situation. The

922
00:35:18,187 --> 00:35:20,890
overall term of the Da is 15

923
00:35:20,890 --> 00:35:21,624
years. Uh, once building

924
00:35:21,624 --> 00:35:21,824
permits, start getting issued,

925
00:35:21,824 --> 00:35:23,726
there

926
00:35:23,726 --> 00:35:25,128
s a six month period

927
00:35:25,128 --> 00:35:26,620
within which building actually

928
00:35:26,620 --> 00:35:28,640
has to commence. After those

929
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:29,799
building permits are issued,

930
00:35:29,799 --> 00:35:31,567
and failure to do so is a

931
00:35:31,567 --> 00:35:32,701
material breach of the actual

932
00:35:32,701 --> 00:35:33,300
development agreement, which

933
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:33,502
means that

934
00:35:33,502 --> 00:35:34,904
s going to be in

935
00:35:34,904 --> 00:35:37,807
front of the City Council for

936
00:35:37,807 --> 00:35:39,342
review at that point. Uh, with

937
00:35:39,342 --> 00:35:41,844
regard to the financial aspects

938
00:35:41,844 --> 00:35:43,312
of things, the developer has

939
00:35:43,312 --> 00:35:44,814
agreed to provide a surety,

940
00:35:44,814 --> 00:35:46,248
meaning a bond or letter of

941
00:35:46,248 --> 00:35:48,500
credit, some other type, form

942
00:35:48,500 --> 00:35:49,552
of surety to make sure that the

943
00:35:49,552 --> 00:35:50,520
annexation happens in a timely

944
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,520
manner. I

945
00:35:53,289 --> 00:35:54,691
ll say with regard to

946
00:35:54,691 --> 00:35:56,392
annexation in a timely manner,

947
00:35:56,392 --> 00:35:59,992
sir, I usually look at this

948
00:36:00,997 --> 00:36:02,231
way, but, uh, the, uh, lafco is

949
00:36:02,231 --> 00:36:04,233
actually required by state law

950
00:36:04,233 --> 00:36:06,435
to process the annexation

951
00:36:06,435 --> 00:36:08,835
application very quickly. This

952
00:36:09,405 --> 00:36:10,873
is a application process,

953
00:36:10,873 --> 00:36:12,308
annexation process whereby the

954
00:36:12,308 --> 00:36:13,609
city is actually asking for the

955
00:36:13,609 --> 00:36:15,678
annexation, which means that

956
00:36:15,678 --> 00:36:18,140
under state law, Lafco waives

957
00:36:18,140 --> 00:36:20,583
the protest proceedings, has to

958
00:36:20,583 --> 00:36:23,583
approve the project. And there

959
00:36:23,686 --> 00:36:25,421
are very few opportunities to

960
00:36:25,421 --> 00:36:27,289
stop the process for annexation

961
00:36:27,289 --> 00:36:29,625
under these circumstances. All

962
00:36:29,625 --> 00:36:31,828
of this to say that we took a

963
00:36:31,828 --> 00:36:32,595
lot of time to to negotiate the

964
00:36:32,595 --> 00:36:33,290
impact fee that

965
00:36:33,290 --> 00:36:34,597
s been

966
00:36:34,597 --> 00:36:36,566
described by staff and on your

967
00:36:36,566 --> 00:36:36,744
on your PowerPoint. And also

968
00:36:36,744 --> 00:36:37,800
it

969
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,350
s built into the development

970
00:36:39,350 --> 00:36:40,470
agreement. So from a legal

971
00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:41,471
standpoint, I don

972
00:36:41,471 --> 00:36:42,839
t think that

973
00:36:42,839 --> 00:36:43,907
the concerns that have been

974
00:36:43,907 --> 00:36:44,874
raised about other projects

975
00:36:44,874 --> 00:36:46,943
within the city will be

976
00:36:46,943 --> 00:36:49,343
replicated. And certainly I

977
00:36:49,345 --> 00:36:51,915
know that the city council is,

978
00:36:51,915 --> 00:36:54,500
uh, well aware of of other

979
00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:54,350
issues with other developments.

980
00:36:54,350 --> 00:36:55,185
So I don

981
00:36:55,185 --> 00:36:56,152
t think that that is

982
00:36:56,152 --> 00:36:57,870
something that will happen.

983
00:36:57,870 --> 00:36:58,754
Again.

984
00:36:58,754 --> 00:36:58,937
Thank you. I was not saying

985
00:36:58,937 --> 00:36:59,689
it

986
00:36:59,689 --> 00:37:01,224
s going to happen. I was

987
00:37:01,224 --> 00:37:02,910
just making sure that we have a

988
00:37:02,910 --> 00:37:03,192
plan in place.

989
00:37:03,192 --> 00:37:04,127
Yes. And this development

990
00:37:04,127 --> 00:37:06,363
agreement is very different

991
00:37:06,363 --> 00:37:07,230
than any others that have come

992
00:37:07,230 --> 00:37:08,598
before, either the Planning

993
00:37:08,598 --> 00:37:09,966
Commission for recommendations

994
00:37:09,966 --> 00:37:13,403
to the City Council or for the

995
00:37:13,403 --> 00:37:14,837
City Council itself to consider.

996
00:37:14,837 --> 00:37:15,638
I have more questions, but if

997
00:37:15,638 --> 00:37:17,638
somebody else wants.

998
00:37:19,843 --> 00:37:20,100
To read Your Honor roll.

999
00:37:20,100 --> 00:37:22,100
I

1000
00:37:22,110 --> 00:37:23,313
m on a roll. Um, I do, I do

1001
00:37:23,313 --> 00:37:26,482
want to bring up the tough, uh,

1002
00:37:26,482 --> 00:37:28,510
traffic question. Um, so, uh,

1003
00:37:28,510 --> 00:37:30,530
my, my question and I did ask

1004
00:37:30,530 --> 00:37:31,821
it before if this development

1005
00:37:31,821 --> 00:37:34,824
was to be happening at the same

1006
00:37:34,824 --> 00:37:37,293
time as the, uh, Lost Canyon

1007
00:37:37,293 --> 00:37:39,729
development, what would be the

1008
00:37:39,729 --> 00:37:42,899
traffic impact on, on that area?

1009
00:37:42,899 --> 00:37:43,660
Thank you.

1010
00:37:43,660 --> 00:37:44,000
We

1011
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,000
ll bring up Justin Link,

1012
00:37:52,776 --> 00:37:54,110
principal traffic engineer.

1013
00:37:54,110 --> 00:37:56,146
I apologize to anybody coming

1014
00:37:56,146 --> 00:37:56,746
after me who has to go over

1015
00:37:56,746 --> 00:37:58,648
this. Uh, good evening,

1016
00:37:58,648 --> 00:37:58,849
commissioners. Uh, that is, uh,

1017
00:37:58,849 --> 00:38:00,350
that

1018
00:38:00,350 --> 00:38:03,350
s a tricky question to

1019
00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:05,388
answer because our either the

1020
00:38:05,388 --> 00:38:05,589
traffic study or traffic model

1021
00:38:05,589 --> 00:38:06,789
doesn

1022
00:38:06,789 --> 00:38:08,358
t necessarily take into

1023
00:38:08,358 --> 00:38:10,358
account conflicting

1024
00:38:10,727 --> 00:38:12,562
construction. It is possible, I

1025
00:38:12,562 --> 00:38:14,931
suppose, that we can limit

1026
00:38:14,931 --> 00:38:17,234
construction traffic to certain

1027
00:38:17,234 --> 00:38:18,568
areas. So if North Canyons were

1028
00:38:18,568 --> 00:38:19,269
to progress at the same time

1029
00:38:19,269 --> 00:38:20,437
that we would limit

1030
00:38:20,437 --> 00:38:21,305
construction traffic to, say,

1031
00:38:21,305 --> 00:38:22,906
First Street, as opposed to

1032
00:38:22,906 --> 00:38:23,974
using arranger, I don

1033
00:38:23,974 --> 00:38:24,274
t suspect

1034
00:38:24,274 --> 00:38:24,774
that there

1035
00:38:24,774 --> 00:38:26,760
s going to be a lot

1036
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:27,711
of construction traffic using

1037
00:38:27,711 --> 00:38:29,446
arranger from Lost Canyons

1038
00:38:29,446 --> 00:38:30,981
because of the distance between

1039
00:38:30,981 --> 00:38:31,348
them, so there shouldn

1040
00:38:31,348 --> 00:38:32,749
t be too

1041
00:38:32,749 --> 00:38:32,950
much interactivity. Again,

1042
00:38:32,950 --> 00:38:34,484
that

1043
00:38:34,484 --> 00:38:36,520
s pure speculation on my

1044
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:37,187
part, but there would be the

1045
00:38:37,187 --> 00:38:38,489
potential. I would think that

1046
00:38:38,489 --> 00:38:40,924
we could figure out a way with

1047
00:38:40,924 --> 00:38:42,192
a developer to place the

1048
00:38:42,192 --> 00:38:43,159
construction traffic closer to

1049
00:38:43,159 --> 00:38:45,728
where it needs to go.

1050
00:38:45,728 --> 00:38:48,532
Thank you. Does anybody else

1051
00:38:48,532 --> 00:38:50,532
have traffic questions?

1052
00:38:50,868 --> 00:38:52,868
No.

1053
00:38:54,171 --> 00:38:56,171
Thank you.

1054
00:38:56,172 --> 00:38:56,940
You go ahead. You go ahead for

1055
00:38:56,940 --> 00:38:58,940
a little bit.

1056
00:38:59,343 --> 00:39:02,943
I have no questions for staff

1057
00:39:03,647 --> 00:39:05,115
at this time.

1058
00:39:05,115 --> 00:39:05,949
Olson, ma

1059
00:39:05,949 --> 00:39:07,949
am.

1060
00:39:10,220 --> 00:39:12,890
No, sir. Okay.

1061
00:39:12,890 --> 00:39:14,240
That being said, then we will

1062
00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:16,424
open the public testimony

1063
00:39:17,361 --> 00:39:18,829
portion of the hearing. And for

1064
00:39:18,829 --> 00:39:21,829
that, would the applicant like

1065
00:39:45,550 --> 00:39:45,923
to present the project?

1066
00:39:45,923 --> 00:39:47,524
Just keep right here, okay?

1067
00:39:47,524 --> 00:39:49,524
Okay.

1068
00:39:52,429 --> 00:39:53,997
So we have Glenn and.

1069
00:39:53,997 --> 00:39:55,332
Susan.

1070
00:39:55,332 --> 00:39:56,900
Glenn, Glenn and Susie are

1071
00:39:56,900 --> 00:39:57,968
presenting. Okay?

1072
00:39:57,968 --> 00:39:58,202
Yeah. Chair Kennedy I

1073
00:39:58,202 --> 00:39:58,435
ll I

1074
00:39:58,435 --> 00:40:00,170
ll

1075
00:40:00,170 --> 00:40:01,438
be presenting. And then as we

1076
00:40:01,438 --> 00:40:01,872
need to if there are questions

1077
00:40:01,872 --> 00:40:02,339
that I can

1078
00:40:02,339 --> 00:40:02,512
t answer, we

1079
00:40:02,512 --> 00:40:04,141
ll

1080
00:40:04,141 --> 00:40:04,475
bring up the appropriate folks.

1081
00:40:04,475 --> 00:40:06,310
Thank you.

1082
00:40:06,310 --> 00:40:07,444
Glenn. So, uh, Chair Kennedy

1083
00:40:07,444 --> 00:40:08,346
and members of the commission,

1084
00:40:08,346 --> 00:40:10,347
thank you very much for the

1085
00:40:10,347 --> 00:40:11,481
time to present on this, uh,

1086
00:40:11,481 --> 00:40:13,518
what I believe is a beautiful

1087
00:40:13,518 --> 00:40:14,318
project coming to Simi Valley.

1088
00:40:14,318 --> 00:40:15,185
Um, and we

1089
00:40:15,185 --> 00:40:16,386
re grateful to be

1090
00:40:16,386 --> 00:40:18,255
back in front of you, I think

1091
00:40:18,255 --> 00:40:20,457
now, for the sixth time since

1092
00:40:20,457 --> 00:40:21,124
2025, um, which I

1093
00:40:21,124 --> 00:40:22,960
m not sure is

1094
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,328
a record, but could be, uh, and

1095
00:40:24,328 --> 00:40:25,729
we want to thank the staff.

1096
00:40:25,729 --> 00:40:27,197
City staff has done a great job

1097
00:40:27,197 --> 00:40:28,799
working with us to develop the

1098
00:40:28,799 --> 00:40:30,534
development agreement to make

1099
00:40:30,534 --> 00:40:33,690
sure the fiscal impacts are

1100
00:40:33,690 --> 00:40:34,705
addressed in this project, and

1101
00:40:34,705 --> 00:40:37,174
to bring a beautiful project

1102
00:40:37,174 --> 00:40:38,308
here back to Simi Valley. Um,

1103
00:40:38,308 --> 00:40:39,900
as you know that tonight

1104
00:40:39,900 --> 00:40:40,243
s vote

1105
00:40:40,243 --> 00:40:42,546
is about the merits of this

1106
00:40:42,546 --> 00:40:43,647
project. Uh, not about the

1107
00:40:43,647 --> 00:40:44,114
lafco process, but it

1108
00:40:44,114 --> 00:40:46,114
s hard to

1109
00:40:46,550 --> 00:40:48,352
separate the two, uh, because

1110
00:40:48,352 --> 00:40:49,887
lafco and state law has

1111
00:40:49,887 --> 00:40:52,287
interconnected those, as staff

1112
00:40:54,925 --> 00:40:56,961
has pointed out. So we wanted

1113
00:40:56,961 --> 00:41:00,797
to get into a few things about

1114
00:41:00,797 --> 00:41:01,650
the project itself. Um, let me

1115
00:41:01,650 --> 00:41:03,000
see. I

1116
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,350
m one more ahead. Uh,

1117
00:41:05,350 --> 00:41:05,201
the North County, uh, or I

1118
00:41:05,201 --> 00:41:06,470
m

1119
00:41:06,470 --> 00:41:08,873
sorry, the North Canyon Ranch

1120
00:41:08,873 --> 00:41:10,274
solves what Lafco has been

1121
00:41:10,274 --> 00:41:13,770
dealing with for the last 25

1122
00:41:13,770 --> 00:41:16,213
years. Um, that is to address

1123
00:41:16,213 --> 00:41:16,847
the county islands, um, as some

1124
00:41:16,847 --> 00:41:17,915
of you know, I

1125
00:41:17,915 --> 00:41:18,782
m. I

1126
00:41:18,782 --> 00:41:19,784
m a owner

1127
00:41:19,784 --> 00:41:21,886
of a house in one of the

1128
00:41:21,886 --> 00:41:23,554
islands. I have a house on

1129
00:41:23,554 --> 00:41:25,956
Avenida Simi, right behind the

1130
00:41:25,956 --> 00:41:28,525
Simi Valley Hospital, with a 60

1131
00:41:28,525 --> 00:41:32,125
year old septic tank. Um, just

1132
00:41:32,396 --> 00:41:34,665
just to say, uh, the way this,

1133
00:41:34,665 --> 00:41:36,333
this project has been, um, put

1134
00:41:36,333 --> 00:41:38,733
together, it addresses the

1135
00:41:38,836 --> 00:41:41,236
financial shortfalls that that

1136
00:41:41,506 --> 00:41:44,108
the city was anticipating by a

1137
00:41:44,108 --> 00:41:45,676
lafco, uh, directed annexation

1138
00:41:45,676 --> 00:41:47,445
of the islands. Uh, it

1139
00:41:47,445 --> 00:41:48,613
actually, you know, addresses

1140
00:41:48,613 --> 00:41:50,314
the problem so well that it

1141
00:41:50,314 --> 00:41:52,483
creates a surplus, additional

1142
00:41:52,483 --> 00:41:55,119
monies for the city, uh, to be

1143
00:41:55,119 --> 00:41:57,155
able to support the rest of the

1144
00:41:57,155 --> 00:41:59,555
city operations after the

1145
00:41:59,957 --> 00:42:01,792
project is fully built out. Uh,

1146
00:42:01,792 --> 00:42:03,194
once the project is built out,

1147
00:42:03,194 --> 00:42:03,360
there should be, uh, it

1148
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:04,195
s

1149
00:42:04,195 --> 00:42:04,428
anticipated that there

1150
00:42:04,428 --> 00:42:06,230
ll be

1151
00:42:06,230 --> 00:42:08,230
over $100,000 of additional

1152
00:42:09,867 --> 00:42:12,236
money going back to the city.

1153
00:42:12,236 --> 00:42:13,304
Uh, project history. Um, the

1154
00:42:13,304 --> 00:42:15,704
project has always been

1155
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,775
intended to be developed. This

1156
00:42:17,775 --> 00:42:17,975
piece of land, it is in the

1157
00:42:17,975 --> 00:42:19,410
city

1158
00:42:19,410 --> 00:42:19,710
s general plan, and it is

1159
00:42:19,710 --> 00:42:20,311
in the city

1160
00:42:20,311 --> 00:42:22,311
s sphere of

1161
00:42:22,914 --> 00:42:24,849
influence. The zoning that that

1162
00:42:24,849 --> 00:42:27,886
that was previously put on, it

1163
00:42:27,886 --> 00:42:28,286
actually allows for around 260

1164
00:42:28,286 --> 00:42:30,286
homes. And we

1165
00:42:30,354 --> 00:42:32,354
re building 207

1166
00:42:33,758 --> 00:42:35,360
homes, um, which is a lighter

1167
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:35,526
density. And, and we

1168
00:42:35,526 --> 00:42:37,526
re

1169
00:42:38,950 --> 00:42:41,695
providing a mix of houses, uh,

1170
00:42:44,340 --> 00:42:44,369
from 1900ft up to 3400ft as I

1171
00:42:44,369 --> 00:42:45,803
as if I

1172
00:42:45,803 --> 00:42:48,203
m remembering my my

1173
00:42:48,973 --> 00:42:51,973
specific details. And, uh, and

1174
00:42:52,110 --> 00:42:55,710
lot sizes, uh, up into the

1175
00:42:57,214 --> 00:42:59,350
15,005 thousand range. So the

1176
00:42:59,350 --> 00:43:01,186
eir has been completed and with

1177
00:43:01,186 --> 00:43:03,120
an extensive analysis led by

1178
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:04,221
the city and their staff, their

1179
00:43:04,221 --> 00:43:06,221
consultant,

1180
00:43:07,525 --> 00:43:10,161
And we can, uh, and it found

1181
00:43:10,161 --> 00:43:11,896
that no significant issues

1182
00:43:11,896 --> 00:43:12,330
arose, that none of the city

1183
00:43:12,330 --> 00:43:13,731
s

1184
00:43:13,731 --> 00:43:15,333
services or infrastructure has

1185
00:43:15,333 --> 00:43:17,636
to be upsized to meet the needs

1186
00:43:17,636 --> 00:43:19,637
of this project, which is a,

1187
00:43:19,637 --> 00:43:21,272
you know, is important because

1188
00:43:21,272 --> 00:43:23,808
that means the city had already

1189
00:43:23,808 --> 00:43:25,877
planned on this, uh, in the

1190
00:43:25,877 --> 00:43:28,646
future. And met is meeting

1191
00:43:28,646 --> 00:43:30,315
those future needs. Uh, we

1192
00:43:30,315 --> 00:43:32,490
actually also participated in

1193
00:43:32,490 --> 00:43:33,784
the community outreach. We went

1194
00:43:33,784 --> 00:43:34,652
because this project straddles

1195
00:43:34,652 --> 00:43:36,120
two different neighborhood

1196
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:37,689
councils, Council one and

1197
00:43:37,689 --> 00:43:39,190
three. You know, we went before

1198
00:43:39,190 --> 00:43:40,625
both of those and received a

1199
00:43:40,625 --> 00:43:42,393
support from both of those

1200
00:43:42,393 --> 00:43:44,395
neighborhood councils. And as

1201
00:43:44,395 --> 00:43:46,330
you know, the, uh, from when

1202
00:43:46,330 --> 00:43:48,266
the town center was built, some

1203
00:43:48,266 --> 00:43:49,634
of that, some of the the dirt

1204
00:43:49,634 --> 00:43:51,336
was moved up to this project

1205
00:43:51,336 --> 00:43:53,510
and they had created some

1206
00:43:53,510 --> 00:43:54,839
super, super pads. And those

1207
00:43:54,839 --> 00:43:57,839
pads were certified by the

1208
00:44:00,780 --> 00:44:01,212
city, um, for this development.

1209
00:44:01,212 --> 00:44:02,130
I want to thank the staff

1210
00:44:02,130 --> 00:44:04,416
because they went through all

1211
00:44:04,416 --> 00:44:06,284
the benefits of this project,

1212
00:44:06,284 --> 00:44:08,853
but is as you can see, the

1213
00:44:08,853 --> 00:44:10,870
project overall size is 160

1214
00:44:10,870 --> 00:44:10,855
acres. Uh, we

1215
00:44:10,855 --> 00:44:12,855
re building on

1216
00:44:14,392 --> 00:44:16,728
39% of that. Uh, the the

1217
00:44:16,728 --> 00:44:18,997
project itself offers a wide,

1218
00:44:18,997 --> 00:44:21,997
wide variety of housing. Um,

1219
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,100
and 40% of the site will will

1220
00:44:24,100 --> 00:44:27,371
be left undisturbed and will be

1221
00:44:27,371 --> 00:44:29,240
used for conservation. Uh, the

1222
00:44:29,240 --> 00:44:30,308
project is going to, um. The

1223
00:44:30,308 --> 00:44:31,442
ranchers see to be recreation.

1224
00:44:31,442 --> 00:44:33,511
And Park District is also going

1225
00:44:33,511 --> 00:44:35,847
to be receiving the open space,

1226
00:44:35,847 --> 00:44:37,515
uh, along with some trails. And

1227
00:44:37,515 --> 00:44:39,283
then in addition to that, a

1228
00:44:39,283 --> 00:44:40,285
fire access road, so that if a

1229
00:44:40,285 --> 00:44:41,252
fire does happen in the

1230
00:44:41,252 --> 00:44:42,120
backside, they

1231
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:43,855
ll be accessed

1232
00:44:43,855 --> 00:44:45,457
by the fire department, which

1233
00:44:45,457 --> 00:44:47,558
conveniently is just on the

1234
00:44:47,558 --> 00:44:47,724
corner of the street that

1235
00:44:47,724 --> 00:44:49,724
s

1236
00:44:50,494 --> 00:44:50,895
going to be connected. And so

1237
00:44:50,895 --> 00:44:51,629
we think that

1238
00:44:51,629 --> 00:44:54,290
s a plus for

1239
00:44:54,432 --> 00:44:55,767
everybody, including, uh, these

1240
00:44:55,767 --> 00:44:58,767
residents and people that live

1241
00:44:59,371 --> 00:45:01,390
down on First Street. So, um,

1242
00:45:01,390 --> 00:45:02,473
the fire protection and the

1243
00:45:02,473 --> 00:45:03,108
connectivity benefits of

1244
00:45:03,108 --> 00:45:03,675
benefits that we

1245
00:45:03,675 --> 00:45:05,675
ve just talked

1246
00:45:07,112 --> 00:45:07,378
about do connect and fulfill

1247
00:45:07,378 --> 00:45:08,947
the city

1248
00:45:08,947 --> 00:45:10,949
s desired goal to

1249
00:45:10,949 --> 00:45:12,684
connect First Street to Falcon

1250
00:45:12,684 --> 00:45:15,387
and to connect the First Street

1251
00:45:15,387 --> 00:45:16,488
area to the big Sky area. It

1252
00:45:16,488 --> 00:45:18,890
you know, if something were to

1253
00:45:18,890 --> 00:45:20,491
happen at the freeway on air

1254
00:45:20,491 --> 00:45:22,794
and for some reason arranger

1255
00:45:22,794 --> 00:45:24,396
was blocked, it would allow the

1256
00:45:24,396 --> 00:45:26,130
big Sky residents an additional

1257
00:45:26,130 --> 00:45:27,966
way out, not just on top of

1258
00:45:27,966 --> 00:45:29,167
Canyon, uh, which is going to

1259
00:45:29,167 --> 00:45:30,868
be receiving some nice road

1260
00:45:30,868 --> 00:45:32,271
improvements in the future. Uh,

1261
00:45:32,271 --> 00:45:34,406
those road improvements are

1262
00:45:34,406 --> 00:45:36,806
already underway, but also

1263
00:45:37,175 --> 00:45:40,345
right here off of First Street.

1264
00:45:40,345 --> 00:45:41,813
Um, there is again, the fire

1265
00:45:41,813 --> 00:45:42,847
fuel mod modifications that are

1266
00:45:42,847 --> 00:45:44,650
going in because of the new

1267
00:45:44,650 --> 00:45:46,751
state law. And this being in a

1268
00:45:46,751 --> 00:45:48,452
high fire zone. Uh, you know,

1269
00:45:48,452 --> 00:45:49,454
creates that 200 foot buffer

1270
00:45:49,454 --> 00:45:51,356
which helps everybody,

1271
00:45:51,356 --> 00:45:52,491
including the big sky area. But

1272
00:45:52,491 --> 00:45:53,491
on top of that, all of these

1273
00:45:53,491 --> 00:45:55,327
houses, including the

1274
00:45:55,327 --> 00:45:56,161
multi-family houses, will be,

1275
00:45:56,161 --> 00:45:56,428
uh, sprinklers. They

1276
00:45:56,428 --> 00:45:58,428
ll all

1277
00:46:00,465 --> 00:46:01,767
have fire sprinklers in them. A

1278
00:46:01,767 --> 00:46:02,133
few other benefits. There

1279
00:46:02,133 --> 00:46:04,360
ll be

1280
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:05,470
$8.2 million paid to the city

1281
00:46:05,470 --> 00:46:07,572
and the school district. Um,

1282
00:46:07,572 --> 00:46:08,907
based on impact fees. Uh, the

1283
00:46:08,907 --> 00:46:10,907
direct financial contribution

1284
00:46:11,443 --> 00:46:13,445
of $150,000 for the public arts

1285
00:46:13,445 --> 00:46:16,445
and for the library building

1286
00:46:16,915 --> 00:46:19,451
fund. Um, and and in a surplus

1287
00:46:19,451 --> 00:46:21,786
to the city, even after the

1288
00:46:21,786 --> 00:46:24,156
annexation takes place. So I

1289
00:46:24,156 --> 00:46:25,357
will wrap it up there and be

1290
00:46:25,357 --> 00:46:26,959

you in the process? Have you

1332
00:47:22,648 --> 00:47:24,216
talked to the neighboring

1333
00:47:24,216 --> 00:47:26,616
property owner about the

1334
00:47:28,860 --> 00:47:29,388
possibility of, um, possibly

1335
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:32,900
not having the retaining wall

1336
00:47:32,900 --> 00:47:33,125
or modifying the retaining wall

1337
00:47:33,125 --> 00:47:33,526
in some way?

1338
00:47:33,526 --> 00:47:35,526
Yeah.

1339
00:47:35,594 --> 00:47:37,529
The property owner, our

1340
00:47:37,529 --> 00:47:38,930
property owner and the

1341
00:47:38,930 --> 00:47:41,132
adjoining property owner have

1342
00:47:41,132 --> 00:47:42,468
been discussing an easement

1343
00:47:42,468 --> 00:47:43,235
for. I think it

1344
00:47:43,235 --> 00:47:45,235
s been ten

1345
00:47:45,437 --> 00:47:48,373
years now. Uh, quite a long

1346
00:47:48,373 --> 00:47:49,975
time. Uh, we would love that.

1347
00:47:49,975 --> 00:47:51,610
Uh, because even though it

1348
00:47:51,610 --> 00:47:53,912
would cost us money to buy that

1349
00:47:53,912 --> 00:47:56,148
easement, uh, to build that

1350
00:47:56,148 --> 00:47:58,830
wall would be quite expensive,

1351
00:47:58,830 --> 00:47:59,285
right? Um, those walls are not

1352
00:47:59,285 --> 00:47:59,952
uncommon. They happen all the

1353
00:47:59,952 --> 00:48:00,585
time. The way we

1354
00:48:00,585 --> 00:48:02,585
re designing

1355
00:48:02,754 --> 00:48:04,689
it, the city staff with Brent

1356
00:48:04,689 --> 00:48:06,625
seminar summer and, you know,

1357
00:48:06,625 --> 00:48:07,893
and the other staff members

1358
00:48:07,893 --> 00:48:08,861
have worked for years to

1359
00:48:08,861 --> 00:48:09,829
develop what

1360
00:48:09,829 --> 00:48:11,290
s being proposed

1361
00:48:11,290 --> 00:48:11,396
now because we haven

1362
00:48:11,396 --> 00:48:13,396
t been

1363
00:48:14,366 --> 00:48:15,734
able to move that that along

1364
00:48:15,734 --> 00:48:16,535
that process with the adjoining

1365
00:48:16,535 --> 00:48:17,169
property owner, because you

1366
00:48:17,169 --> 00:48:18,404
are.

1367
00:48:18,404 --> 00:48:18,577
Still talking to him as what

1368
00:48:18,577 --> 00:48:20,577
I

1369
00:48:22,700 --> 00:48:23,341
m. Yes. Okay. Thank you.

1370
00:48:23,341 --> 00:48:25,341
Any other commissioners?

1371
00:48:25,577 --> 00:48:27,120
I guess I got one. So the

1372
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:28,280
financial impact or the benefit

1373
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:29,682
of the city, I thought one of

1374
00:48:29,682 --> 00:48:32,451
the slides that you just ended

1375
00:48:32,451 --> 00:48:33,552
with at 250, but a prior slide,

1376
00:48:33,552 --> 00:48:34,753
if I remember correctly, said

1377
00:48:34,753 --> 00:48:35,821
120.

1378
00:48:35,821 --> 00:48:35,992
Yeah. Well, the reason that

1379
00:48:35,992 --> 00:48:37,456
s

1380
00:48:37,456 --> 00:48:39,692
the difference between the

1381
00:48:39,692 --> 00:48:41,994
amount of money that the amount

1382
00:48:41,994 --> 00:48:43,496
of excess cash that our project

1383
00:48:43,496 --> 00:48:46,310
will develop will provide to

1384
00:48:46,310 --> 00:48:46,632
the city, minus what it

1385
00:48:46,632 --> 00:48:47,266
ll cost

1386
00:48:47,266 --> 00:48:48,167
the city. So it

1387
00:48:48,167 --> 00:48:49,601
s 250 total.

1388
00:48:49,601 --> 00:48:51,300
But when you separate out the

1389
00:48:51,300 --> 00:48:52,771
cost of the annexation, then it

1390
00:48:52,771 --> 00:48:55,171
drops it down to 112.

1391
00:48:55,974 --> 00:48:57,209
Correct. Thank you.

1392
00:48:57,209 --> 00:48:59,211
I have a question,

1393
00:48:59,211 --> 00:49:01,130
Commissioner. Um, how, uh how

1394
00:49:01,130 --> 00:49:03,820
much? How do you envision

1395
00:49:03,820 --> 00:49:05,684
multifamily? Like, what? If you

1396
00:49:05,684 --> 00:49:07,886
can describe it, like, are they

1397
00:49:07,886 --> 00:49:08,420
townhomes? Are they for Plexus

1398
00:49:08,420 --> 00:49:09,889
Duplex?

1399
00:49:09,889 --> 00:49:11,889
Was.

1400
00:49:12,124 --> 00:49:12,992
Two sports. Homes for sale..

1401
00:49:12,992 --> 00:49:13,492
Needs to speak into the

1402
00:49:13,492 --> 00:49:14,226
microphone.

1403
00:49:14,226 --> 00:49:14,760
Yeah. Thank you. I

1404
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,729
m sorry.

1405
00:49:16,729 --> 00:49:18,697
There are two story there.

1406
00:49:18,697 --> 00:49:18,865
Townhomes and everything that

1407
00:49:18,865 --> 00:49:20,166
we

1408
00:49:20,166 --> 00:49:22,868
re proposing up is there is

1409
00:49:22,868 --> 00:49:24,336
for sale. And just to address

1410
00:49:24,336 --> 00:49:24,803
the question, the reason that I

1411
00:49:24,803 --> 00:49:26,472
said that it

1412
00:49:26,472 --> 00:49:26,644
s lower density,

1413
00:49:26,644 --> 00:49:27,339
it

1414
00:49:27,339 --> 00:49:28,907
s lower it

1415
00:49:28,907 --> 00:49:30,907
s less housing

1416
00:49:32,378 --> 00:49:33,512
that is than was previously,

1417
00:49:33,512 --> 00:49:34,747
you know, than they previously

1418
00:49:34,747 --> 00:49:36,916
thought could go up there. You

1419
00:49:36,916 --> 00:49:39,752
know, the zoning allows for a

1420
00:49:39,752 --> 00:49:39,924
roughly 260 housing units, and

1421
00:49:39,924 --> 00:49:41,654
we

1422
00:49:41,654 --> 00:49:42,788
re only proposing 207. So

1423
00:49:42,788 --> 00:49:42,968
when I say lower density, I

1424
00:49:42,968 --> 00:49:44,968
don

1425
00:49:45,191 --> 00:49:48,360
t mean one acre lots. I

1426
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:49,996
mean less housing than could go

1427
00:49:49,996 --> 00:49:51,697
up there.

1428
00:49:51,697 --> 00:49:53,666
I have one more that connects

1429
00:49:53,666 --> 00:49:53,841
to that that, uh, I know it

1430
00:49:53,841 --> 00:49:55,167
s

1431
00:49:55,167 --> 00:49:56,469
early in the process, but are

1432
00:49:56,469 --> 00:49:59,171
you leaning more towards the

1433
00:49:59,171 --> 00:50:01,274
senior or affordable? There was

1434
00:50:01,274 --> 00:50:02,107
a one of the things is for for

1435
00:50:02,107 --> 00:50:03,776
multifamily, it

1436
00:50:03,776 --> 00:50:05,776
s 25%

1437
00:50:08,213 --> 00:50:09,382
affordable or 100% senior.

1438
00:50:09,382 --> 00:50:09,562
Yeah. Towards the.

1439
00:50:09,562 --> 00:50:11,562
We

1440
00:50:13,853 --> 00:50:14,253
re leaning towards senior.

1441
00:50:14,253 --> 00:50:16,253
Any more.

1442
00:50:16,455 --> 00:50:16,755
Questions.

1443
00:50:16,755 --> 00:50:17,757
And we

1444
00:50:17,757 --> 00:50:18,991
re not going anywhere.

1445
00:50:18,991 --> 00:50:19,626
So after the residents have a

1446
00:50:19,626 --> 00:50:20,125
chance to speak, we

1447
00:50:20,125 --> 00:50:21,327
re happy to

1448
00:50:21,327 --> 00:50:22,629
come back up and address any of

1449
00:50:22,629 --> 00:50:23,863
those questions that that can

1450
00:50:23,863 --> 00:50:24,531
come up afterwards.

1451
00:50:24,531 --> 00:50:24,964
Thank you.

1452
00:50:24,964 --> 00:50:26,964
Appreciate it.

1453
00:50:27,433 --> 00:50:29,433
Thank you.

1454
00:50:29,602 --> 00:50:31,837
Okay. So now we have speaker

1455
00:50:31,837 --> 00:50:35,437
cards. And, uh, the first one

1456
00:50:35,875 --> 00:50:36,976
is Mary Earl eral uh, who does

1457
00:50:36,976 --> 00:50:37,443
not wish to speak, who

1458
00:50:37,443 --> 00:50:39,443
s in

1459
00:50:40,213 --> 00:50:43,820
opposition. And then, in order

1460
00:50:43,820 --> 00:50:45,418
of speaker cards here, uh, is

1461
00:50:45,418 --> 00:50:46,251
Emily, is it Walker?

1462
00:50:46,251 --> 00:50:48,251
Walker.

1463
00:50:58,964 --> 00:51:01,364
Walker. Emily. Thank you.

1464
00:51:06,939 --> 00:51:08,939
Okay. Thank you.

1465
00:51:09,842 --> 00:51:12,242
Emily. Walker, PRESIDENT, North

1466
00:51:14,147 --> 00:51:16,490
Hills Homeowners association.

1467
00:51:16,490 --> 00:51:17,917
There are many reasons why the

1468
00:51:17,917 --> 00:51:20,317
North Canyon Ranch project

1469
00:51:20,553 --> 00:51:22,522
should be denied. We in the

1470
00:51:22,522 --> 00:51:24,522
North Hills Homeowners

1471
00:51:25,792 --> 00:51:27,792
Association adamantly opposed

1472
00:51:27,927 --> 00:51:30,597
the North Canyon Ranch project

1473
00:51:30,597 --> 00:51:33,597
and the proposed annexation of

1474
00:51:33,866 --> 00:51:36,100
county islands. If built, the

1475
00:51:36,100 --> 00:51:38,572
North Canyon Ranch Project will

1476
00:51:38,572 --> 00:51:41,572
be a major encroachment into

1477
00:51:41,608 --> 00:51:44,800
wildlife areas. More invasion

1478
00:51:44,310 --> 00:51:47,246
into wildlife areas cause more

1479
00:51:47,246 --> 00:51:50,416
wild animals to invade areas of

1480
00:51:50,416 --> 00:51:52,518
human habitation, as there will

1481
00:51:52,518 --> 00:51:54,988
be building in the hills with

1482
00:51:54,988 --> 00:51:57,957
the North Canyon Ranch Project.

1483
00:51:57,957 --> 00:52:00,193
There will be increased risk of

1484
00:52:00,193 --> 00:52:02,128
fire danger. Southern

1485
00:52:02,128 --> 00:52:04,497
California is prone to

1486
00:52:04,497 --> 00:52:06,866
wildfires, and the risk for

1487
00:52:06,866 --> 00:52:09,202
wildfires in the hills is

1488
00:52:09,202 --> 00:52:11,602
greatly increased, and this

1489
00:52:11,671 --> 00:52:15,700
area in the hills is a high

1490
00:52:15,700 --> 00:52:17,477
risk fire area. It takes a

1491
00:52:17,477 --> 00:52:20,113
tremendous amount of water to

1492
00:52:20,113 --> 00:52:22,248
build anything, especially a

1493
00:52:22,248 --> 00:52:24,951
development of such a massive

1494
00:52:24,951 --> 00:52:27,720
size as the North Canyon Ranch

1495
00:52:27,720 --> 00:52:30,120
project. Also, once the

1496
00:52:30,289 --> 00:52:31,791
development is completed, the

1497
00:52:31,791 --> 00:52:34,827
people who will live in the

1498
00:52:34,827 --> 00:52:37,163
development will use water.

1499
00:52:37,163 --> 00:52:40,163
Currently, there is way too

1500
00:52:40,333 --> 00:52:42,435
much traffic in Simi Valley.

1501
00:52:42,435 --> 00:52:44,835
This development will increase

1502
00:52:45,405 --> 00:52:47,405
traffic considerably. Many

1503
00:52:48,740 --> 00:52:50,410
people live in Simi Valley to

1504
00:52:50,410 --> 00:52:53,790
escape the urban sprawl of

1505
00:52:53,790 --> 00:52:56,160
other areas. They want to live

1506
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,616
in an area with less traffic,

1507
00:52:59,786 --> 00:53:02,322
less building, less density and

1508
00:53:02,322 --> 00:53:05,322
in general, a less hectic

1509
00:53:05,592 --> 00:53:07,727
lifestyle. If approved, the

1510
00:53:07,727 --> 00:53:10,631
North Canyon Ranch project will

1511
00:53:10,631 --> 00:53:13,631
create more congestion and will

1512
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,269
add to urban sprawl. Residents

1513
00:53:16,269 --> 00:53:18,271
of the county islands want to

1514
00:53:18,271 --> 00:53:20,271
remain unincorporated,

1515
00:53:21,274 --> 00:53:23,674
retaining their county status.

1516
00:53:24,111 --> 00:53:26,613
They want to remain semi-rural

1517
00:53:26,613 --> 00:53:28,815
with large lots and animal

1518
00:53:28,815 --> 00:53:31,718
keeping. They do not want to

1519
00:53:31,718 --> 00:53:33,920
lose the animal overlay. If

1520
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,256
annexed into the city, there

1521
00:53:36,256 --> 00:53:39,590
will be more and stricter rules

1522
00:53:39,590 --> 00:53:41,459
and regulations. Also, there

1523
00:53:41,461 --> 00:53:44,461
will be higher property taxes,

1524
00:53:44,497 --> 00:53:47,133
and other taxes will be higher.

1525
00:53:47,133 --> 00:53:49,403
Zoning MAY change and some

1526
00:53:49,403 --> 00:53:52,873
permits will cost more in the

1527
00:53:52,873 --> 00:53:56,109
city. For example, a permit to

1528
00:53:56,109 --> 00:53:59,709
install a new gas furnace costs

1529
00:54:00,130 --> 00:54:02,849
$150 more in the city than in

1530
00:54:02,849 --> 00:54:05,249
the county. Also, trash

1531
00:54:05,619 --> 00:54:08,619
collection is more expensive in

1532
00:54:08,989 --> 00:54:11,992
the city than in the county. In

1533
00:54:11,992 --> 00:54:14,392
conclusion, please reject the

1534
00:54:14,694 --> 00:54:16,896
North Canyon Ranch project and

1535
00:54:16,896 --> 00:54:19,896
the proposed annexation of the

1536
00:54:20,330 --> 00:54:23,330
county islands. These are very

1537
00:54:24,137 --> 00:54:26,137
bad ideas.

1538
00:54:31,211 --> 00:54:33,211
Thank you.

1539
00:54:52,799 --> 00:54:55,369
Next speaker is Annette Cheney.

1540
00:54:55,369 --> 00:54:58,339
Cheney and I live in.

1541
00:54:58,339 --> 00:55:01,410
The Sinaloa Lake area. That

1542
00:55:01,410 --> 00:55:03,777
would be, I believe, eight. Um,

1543
00:55:03,777 --> 00:55:06,446
I neither a lawyer nor a real

1544
00:55:06,446 --> 00:55:09,416
estate agent, so I can just

1545
00:55:09,416 --> 00:55:11,718
talk in general. My house was

1546
00:55:11,718 --> 00:55:13,887
built by my husband in the

1547
00:55:13,887 --> 00:55:16,924
early 60s. It took him seven

1548
00:55:16,924 --> 00:55:20,327
years without any kind of a

1549
00:55:20,327 --> 00:55:22,696
bank loan. Um, he did a

1550
00:55:22,696 --> 00:55:25,132
wonderful job, and they all

1551
00:55:25,132 --> 00:55:28,132
passed everything that he did.

1552
00:55:28,435 --> 00:55:32,600
Um, I would like to continue to

1553
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,208
live there, but when what I see

1554
00:55:34,208 --> 00:55:37,440
is eventually going to happen

1555
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:38,912
with the annexation, and they

1556
00:55:38,912 --> 00:55:39,813
say we can still have our farm

1557
00:55:39,813 --> 00:55:41,470
animals, that

1558
00:55:41,470 --> 00:55:42,949
s not going to

1559
00:55:42,949 --> 00:55:45,419
continue. I know once it

1560
00:55:45,419 --> 00:55:47,288
becomes city, the rules are

1561
00:55:47,288 --> 00:55:50,358
going to change. Maybe not for

1562
00:55:50,358 --> 00:55:52,893
me, but when I do go to sell or

1563
00:55:52,893 --> 00:55:53,590
my children go to sell, we

1564
00:55:53,590 --> 00:55:54,161
won

1565
00:55:54,161 --> 00:55:55,262
t be able to have the

1566
00:55:55,262 --> 00:55:56,297
variety. We

1567
00:55:56,297 --> 00:55:57,765
ll have the three

1568
00:55:57,765 --> 00:56:01,365
dogs and three cats and that

1569
00:56:01,969 --> 00:56:05,272
will be it. Um, the other thing

1570
00:56:05,272 --> 00:56:06,807
is, you said that, uh, about

1571
00:56:06,807 --> 00:56:09,430
sewers and things like that,

1572
00:56:09,430 --> 00:56:11,578
that that would not be changed.

1573
00:56:11,578 --> 00:56:14,815
I know it will be. We do not

1574
00:56:14,815 --> 00:56:17,215
have sidewalks or streetlights

1575
00:56:18,452 --> 00:56:21,154
or sewer. And I can see that

1576
00:56:21,154 --> 00:56:23,691
happening. Um, whether we have

1577
00:56:23,691 --> 00:56:27,762
to pay directly or our taxes go

1578
00:56:27,762 --> 00:56:29,964
way up to pay for it. Um, it

1579
00:56:29,964 --> 00:56:32,933
would be wonderful if we had

1580
00:56:32,933 --> 00:56:35,736
some kind of a paper that was

1581
00:56:35,736 --> 00:56:37,571
legitimate that would stay in

1582
00:56:37,571 --> 00:56:39,439
force forever, that we could

1583
00:56:39,439 --> 00:56:42,209
continue to have the animals,

1584
00:56:42,209 --> 00:56:44,110
not have those other amenities.

1585
00:56:44,110 --> 00:56:45,812
Uh, I like the trash service

1586
00:56:45,812 --> 00:56:48,810
that we have. It is cheaper

1587
00:56:48,810 --> 00:56:48,249
than waste management. I don

1588
00:56:48,249 --> 00:56:49,851
t

1589
00:56:49,851 --> 00:56:51,885
want to go back to that. My

1590
00:56:51,885 --> 00:56:53,921
husband passed two years ago.

1591
00:56:53,921 --> 00:56:57,240
My income is now half of what

1592
00:56:57,240 --> 00:56:57,325
it used to be. So what I

1593
00:56:57,325 --> 00:56:58,926
m

1594
00:56:58,926 --> 00:57:00,728
doing is struggling to stay

1595
00:57:00,728 --> 00:57:03,164
there. And I can see this is

1596
00:57:03,164 --> 00:57:06,100
going to make it more difficult

1597
00:57:06,100 --> 00:57:09,270
in the end. One other question.

1598
00:57:09,270 --> 00:57:12,573
Um, the development at the end

1599
00:57:12,573 --> 00:57:14,175
of, uh, uh, uh, arranger, i

1600
00:57:14,175 --> 00:57:16,977
think it was not arranger.

1601
00:57:16,977 --> 00:57:17,978
Sequoia. Um, I have friends

1602
00:57:17,978 --> 00:57:19,313
that live up in that

1603
00:57:19,313 --> 00:57:21,480
neighborhood. And they said

1604
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,170
during that time there was so

1605
00:57:23,170 --> 00:57:26,617
much dust. Some of the people

1606
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,857
got very sick. Um, this is at

1607
00:57:29,857 --> 00:57:31,926
our and and I, I know the way

1608
00:57:31,926 --> 00:57:33,360
the winds blow. How are they

1609
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:33,628
going to do that? So we aren

1610
00:57:33,628 --> 00:57:35,562
t

1611
00:57:35,562 --> 00:57:38,633
going to have the dust flying

1612
00:57:38,633 --> 00:57:39,901
all over, which includes that,

1613
00:57:39,901 --> 00:57:41,568
um. Oh, it

1614
00:57:41,568 --> 00:57:43,700
s a fungus that you

1615
00:57:43,700 --> 00:57:43,304
get in your lungs. I forget

1616
00:57:43,304 --> 00:57:44,305
what it

1617
00:57:44,305 --> 00:57:45,272
s called, but I

1618
00:57:45,272 --> 00:57:45,473
m 87,

1619
00:57:45,473 --> 00:57:46,507
so I

1620
00:57:46,507 --> 00:57:49,507
m not going to remember

1621
00:57:53,470 --> 00:57:53,275
everything. Um. But I don

1622
00:57:53,275 --> 00:57:54,515
t

1623
00:57:54,515 --> 00:57:55,516
know what somebody said.

1624
00:57:55,516 --> 00:57:57,516
Was.

1625
00:57:58,152 --> 00:58:01,355
Am I am I done? Can I can I

1626
00:58:01,355 --> 00:58:04,355
keep talking? Okay. So, um,

1627
00:58:05,259 --> 00:58:06,960
anyway, uh, this is scary for

1628
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,797
me and a number of my other

1629
00:58:09,797 --> 00:58:12,800
neighbors who are old or as old

1630
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:13,668
as me and I. I don

1631
00:58:13,668 --> 00:58:16,300
t see any of

1632
00:58:16,300 --> 00:58:18,720
them here. It was a struggle

1633
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,175
for me to get here, but I

1634
00:58:21,175 --> 00:58:24,178
needed to come. I, I would like

1635
00:58:24,178 --> 00:58:25,746
to save our area around Sinaloa

1636
00:58:25,746 --> 00:58:26,460
Lake and live the way we

1637
00:58:26,460 --> 00:58:26,881
ve

1638
00:58:26,881 --> 00:58:27,348
always lived. It

1639
00:58:27,348 --> 00:58:29,348
s just

1640
00:58:30,752 --> 00:58:32,453
beautiful. Um, I lived over in

1641
00:58:32,453 --> 00:58:35,156
the San Fernando Valley years

1642
00:58:35,156 --> 00:58:37,158
ago, and again, city. And there

1643
00:58:37,158 --> 00:58:38,826
were all these restrictions.

1644
00:58:38,826 --> 00:58:40,161
So, um, we

1645
00:58:40,161 --> 00:58:41,730
ve enjoyed all these

1646
00:58:41,730 --> 00:58:43,231
years with our grandchildren

1647
00:58:43,231 --> 00:58:43,431
and all the animals that we

1648
00:58:43,431 --> 00:58:45,431
ve

1649
00:58:46,868 --> 00:58:48,470
had. Um, I would like that to

1650
00:58:48,470 --> 00:58:50,470
continue, not just

1651
00:58:51,472 --> 00:58:54,472
grandfathered in for me, but

1652
00:58:54,508 --> 00:58:56,844
somehow, if you are, if we do

1653
00:58:56,844 --> 00:58:59,514
have to have that, that we can

1654
00:58:59,514 --> 00:59:02,250
still have a lot of those same

1655
00:59:02,250 --> 00:59:03,284
amenities without the fancy

1656
00:59:03,284 --> 00:59:03,618
stuff on the side, that

1657
00:59:03,618 --> 00:59:05,618
s going

1658
00:59:07,155 --> 00:59:07,319
to cost us a fortune. I think

1659
00:59:07,319 --> 00:59:08,722
I

1660
00:59:08,722 --> 00:59:10,792
m done. And I really liked

1661
00:59:10,792 --> 00:59:11,859
with this first lady, said MRS.

1662
00:59:11,859 --> 00:59:12,761
Walker. I can

1663
00:59:12,761 --> 00:59:14,761
t remember the

1664
00:59:15,563 --> 00:59:17,365
name already, but, uh, thank

1665
00:59:17,365 --> 00:59:17,698
you. I wish I could say more,

1666
00:59:17,698 --> 00:59:18,799
but I didn

1667
00:59:18,799 --> 00:59:20,701
t write anything

1668
00:59:20,701 --> 00:59:22,701
down.

1669
00:59:30,245 --> 00:59:31,879
Thank you.

1670
00:59:31,879 --> 00:59:35,479
The next speaker we have is

1671
00:59:42,924 --> 00:59:44,924
David Hardy.

1672
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:46,194
And here I am. I knew instantly

1673
00:59:46,194 --> 00:59:48,330
what he was talking about with

1674
00:59:48,330 --> 00:59:49,597
density. But to me, density is

1675
00:59:49,597 --> 00:59:51,199
the number of cars that come

1676
00:59:51,199 --> 00:59:54,199
down township and swing down

1677
00:59:54,970 --> 00:59:56,438
reservoir. And just make nice.

1678
00:59:56,438 --> 00:59:57,805
So that

1679
00:59:57,805 --> 01:00:01,405
s what I consider to be

1680
01:00:07,215 --> 01:00:09,717
density. Anyway. Um. Uh, John

1681
01:00:09,717 --> 01:00:11,619
Tolson, Commissioner Tolson, I

1682
01:00:11,619 --> 01:00:13,888
heard you say Becerra, as you

1683
01:00:13,888 --> 01:00:16,891
on your zoom call. What was his

1684
01:00:16,891 --> 01:00:18,693
position on zoom call? Who does

1685
01:00:18,693 --> 01:00:18,863
he represent?

1686
01:00:18,863 --> 01:00:19,327
I

1687
01:00:19,327 --> 01:00:19,995
m right here. I

1688
01:00:19,995 --> 01:00:20,162
m with. I

1689
01:00:20,162 --> 01:00:20,729
m

1690
01:00:20,729 --> 01:00:21,796
with the builder.

1691
01:00:21,796 --> 01:00:22,290
Oh, there you go. Oh, that

1692
01:00:22,290 --> 01:00:22,530
s

1693
01:00:22,530 --> 01:00:22,731
you, right?

1694
01:00:22,731 --> 01:00:22,897
Yeah.

1695
01:00:22,897 --> 01:00:23,365
It

1696
01:00:23,365 --> 01:00:25,365
s me.

1697
01:00:27,836 --> 01:00:32,360
You get more gray hair. And I

1698
01:00:32,340 --> 01:00:33,674
get shorter. Anyway, the young

1699
01:00:33,674 --> 01:00:35,276
lady did a wonderful job

1700
01:00:35,276 --> 01:00:36,478
reading, uh, off the

1701
01:00:36,478 --> 01:00:36,912
statistics. And I

1702
01:00:36,912 --> 01:00:38,447
m wondering

1703
01:00:38,447 --> 01:00:39,848
where can I find the financial

1704
01:00:39,848 --> 01:00:42,248
statistics that were presented

1705
01:00:43,818 --> 01:00:45,687
on the slides? So somebody tell

1706
01:00:45,687 --> 01:00:45,953
me where I could find them. So

1707
01:00:45,953 --> 01:00:46,688
I haven

1708
01:00:46,688 --> 01:00:46,988
t seen them anyway.

1709
01:00:46,988 --> 01:00:47,756
Yeah, we

1710
01:00:47,756 --> 01:00:48,390
ll answer those

1711
01:00:48,390 --> 01:00:48,690
questions for you.

1712
01:00:48,690 --> 01:00:50,690
Thank you.

1713
01:00:51,459 --> 01:00:52,928
Oh, okay. Okay. So she she

1714
01:00:52,928 --> 01:00:53,595
stated that it

1715
01:00:53,595 --> 01:00:56,595
s hard for me to

1716
01:01:00,735 --> 01:01:02,837
read this. The commission

1717
01:01:02,837 --> 01:01:04,380
commissions are discouraging

1718
01:01:04,380 --> 01:01:04,573
urban sprawl. That

1719
01:01:04,573 --> 01:01:06,573
s what she

1720
01:01:07,108 --> 01:01:10,108
read that, uh, but continuing

1721
01:01:11,112 --> 01:01:13,215
on preserving open space and

1722
01:01:13,215 --> 01:01:13,381
prime agricultural lands. I

1723
01:01:13,381 --> 01:01:14,950
don

1724
01:01:14,950 --> 01:01:17,686
t think this does that in

1725
01:01:17,686 --> 01:01:20,388
very good stead. Frankly, if

1726
01:01:20,388 --> 01:01:21,857
you told me that we were trying

1727
01:01:21,857 --> 01:01:23,791
to do something for the town

1728
01:01:23,791 --> 01:01:25,393
center and build a customer

1729
01:01:25,393 --> 01:01:27,595
base for them, and I understand

1730
01:01:27,595 --> 01:01:28,363
that. But this doesn

1731
01:01:28,363 --> 01:01:30,363
t do it.

1732
01:01:34,690 --> 01:01:35,203
And annexation can be modified.

1733
01:01:35,203 --> 01:01:38,730
We all read this. I

1734
01:01:38,730 --> 01:01:40,730
m sure, and

1735
01:01:41,900 --> 01:01:42,577
it can be changed. And you as a

1736
01:01:42,577 --> 01:01:43,978
planning commission, have the

1737
01:01:43,978 --> 01:01:46,314
right to make changes to it or

1738
01:01:46,314 --> 01:01:48,283
suggestions for it. And you can

1739
01:01:48,283 --> 01:01:49,885
do that. And the city

1740
01:01:49,885 --> 01:01:50,519
commission, I

1741
01:01:50,519 --> 01:01:52,919
m sorry, the city

1742
01:01:53,155 --> 01:01:54,550
council, they can do that to

1743
01:01:54,550 --> 01:01:54,723
the only one who can

1744
01:01:54,723 --> 01:01:56,258
t do it in

1745
01:01:56,258 --> 01:01:58,360
the room is me and the other

1746
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:00,128
neighbors. We can

1747
01:02:00,128 --> 01:02:02,970
t do that.

1748
01:02:02,970 --> 01:02:03,832
But we can. We can lobby for it

1749
01:02:03,832 --> 01:02:05,568
to be done because it could be

1750
01:02:05,568 --> 01:02:05,733
some changes. Because you

1751
01:02:05,733 --> 01:02:06,268
re

1752
01:02:06,268 --> 01:02:08,268
only you

1753
01:02:08,737 --> 01:02:11,137
re annexing seven of

1754
01:02:11,272 --> 01:02:12,608
the nine islands. So that tells

1755
01:02:12,608 --> 01:02:16,208
you that you can make changes

1756
01:02:16,278 --> 01:02:17,779
to it. And frankly, uh, none of

1757
01:02:17,779 --> 01:02:21,449
my neighbors want to be in the

1758
01:02:21,449 --> 01:02:24,520
city. And I can tell you, uh,

1759
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,688
yeah, they mentioned the trash.

1760
01:02:26,688 --> 01:02:28,590
My trash is probably one third

1761
01:02:28,590 --> 01:02:30,559
the expense that it was when it

1762
01:02:30,559 --> 01:02:30,792
was in the city. And that

1763
01:02:30,792 --> 01:02:32,161
s a

1764
01:02:32,161 --> 01:02:35,161
big difference, going from like

1765
01:02:37,566 --> 01:02:40,168
$85 to $25. Oops. This is faded

1766
01:02:40,168 --> 01:02:43,572
white, just that I can see it.

1767
01:02:43,572 --> 01:02:45,373
Uh, and then do yourself, do do

1768
01:02:45,373 --> 01:02:46,709
us all a favor. Drive down

1769
01:02:46,709 --> 01:02:48,644
township, look for the center

1770
01:02:48,644 --> 01:02:51,460
of the road, and then as you

1771
01:02:51,460 --> 01:02:53,516
make the swing down reservoir,

1772
01:02:53,516 --> 01:02:55,651
look at the difference. Okay?

1773
01:02:55,651 --> 01:02:56,785
On the on township, you you

1774
01:02:56,785 --> 01:02:58,453
have a hard time finding the

1775
01:02:58,453 --> 01:02:58,754
center of the road in spots

1776
01:02:58,754 --> 01:03:00,389
because it

1777
01:03:00,389 --> 01:03:02,324
s not marked. You

1778
01:03:02,324 --> 01:03:03,425
come down reservoir. The road

1779
01:03:03,425 --> 01:03:03,926
is black. There

1780
01:03:03,926 --> 01:03:04,560
s yellow

1781
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:05,940
markers. So you

1782
01:03:05,940 --> 01:03:06,829
re in there and

1783
01:03:06,829 --> 01:03:07,229
everywhere. And and it

1784
01:03:07,229 --> 01:03:09,229
s much

1785
01:03:10,332 --> 01:03:11,533
easier to traverse and and you

1786
01:03:11,533 --> 01:03:12,501
just need to consider those

1787
01:03:12,501 --> 01:03:12,665
things because they

1788
01:03:12,665 --> 01:03:14,665
re

1789
01:03:14,737 --> 01:03:15,104
important to us. And I

1790
01:03:15,104 --> 01:03:17,104
ve been

1791
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:18,908
there 46 years paying taxes.

1792
01:03:18,908 --> 01:03:19,774
Why don

1793
01:03:19,774 --> 01:03:19,975
t I have a say in

1794
01:03:19,975 --> 01:03:21,975
what

1795
01:03:22,278 --> 01:03:25,113
s going on? You know, a

1796
01:03:25,113 --> 01:03:25,285
vote of some sort. So I don

1797
01:03:25,285 --> 01:03:25,614
t

1798
01:03:25,614 --> 01:03:26,315
know. And I

1799
01:03:26,315 --> 01:03:27,449
m sure all these

1800
01:03:27,449 --> 01:03:29,510
other people are asking the

1801
01:03:29,510 --> 01:03:30,285
same question. And you could

1802
01:03:30,285 --> 01:03:32,755
tell for people to get out in

1803
01:03:32,755 --> 01:03:34,924
103 degree heat and come to a

1804
01:03:34,924 --> 01:03:37,924
meeting, it must be important

1805
01:03:39,462 --> 01:03:39,637
to them. So anyway, I still

1806
01:03:39,637 --> 01:03:40,395
don

1807
01:03:40,395 --> 01:03:43,395
t know what your position

1808
01:03:44,166 --> 01:03:44,900
is right? Okay. I

1809
01:03:44,900 --> 01:03:46,900
m done. Thank

1810
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,240
you. Thank you.

1811
01:03:57,413 --> 01:04:01,130
Okay. The next speaker is Lana.

1812
01:04:01,316 --> 01:04:02,518
Coffey. Got it. Thank you.

1813
01:04:02,518 --> 01:04:03,819
That came out really great

1814
01:04:03,819 --> 01:04:04,954
because Dave is my neighbor.

1815
01:04:04,954 --> 01:04:07,556
Literally my next door. Oh,

1816
01:04:07,556 --> 01:04:07,740
there you are. Hi, there.

1817
01:04:07,740 --> 01:04:08,457
You

1818
01:04:08,457 --> 01:04:09,491
re. Give them these

1819
01:04:09,491 --> 01:04:11,930
letters.

1820
01:04:11,930 --> 01:04:11,827
I forgot.

1821
01:04:11,827 --> 01:04:12,361
Can I pass these?

1822
01:04:12,361 --> 01:04:13,162
Oh, no.

1823
01:04:13,162 --> 01:04:13,762
It just.

1824
01:04:13,762 --> 01:04:14,763
In your speech.

1825
01:04:14,763 --> 01:04:16,264
At the end of your speech. Oh,

1826
01:04:16,264 --> 01:04:17,833
I got some letters for you.

1827
01:04:17,833 --> 01:04:18,567
You want me to read them? You

1828
01:04:18,567 --> 01:04:19,135
want me to read them?

1829
01:04:19,135 --> 01:04:19,701
No, no.

1830
01:04:19,701 --> 01:04:20,802
Or just give it.

1831
01:04:20,802 --> 01:04:21,203
To them? Yeah.

1832
01:04:21,203 --> 01:04:22,438
So I

1833
01:04:22,438 --> 01:04:23,939
m going to make this short

1834
01:04:23,939 --> 01:04:26,141
and sweet. My name is Lana

1835
01:04:26,141 --> 01:04:27,900
Zukowski. Um, I purchased my

1836
01:04:27,900 --> 01:04:29,111
house because it was

1837
01:04:29,111 --> 01:04:31,511
unincorporated, uh, back in

1838
01:04:31,647 --> 01:04:33,480
2020. And that was one of my

1839
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,448
main reasons for purchasing

1840
01:04:35,684 --> 01:04:37,552
that property. Um, I moved out

1841
01:04:37,552 --> 01:04:40,188
of the city of Los Angeles in

1842
01:04:40,188 --> 01:04:42,191
the Valley. Horrible, horrible

1843
01:04:42,191 --> 01:04:44,326
experience. And when we moved

1844
01:04:44,326 --> 01:04:46,762
into the unincorporated part of

1845
01:04:46,762 --> 01:04:49,164
Simi Valley, it was safe. It

1846
01:04:49,164 --> 01:04:49,399
was calm, it was quiet. Yeah.

1847
01:04:49,399 --> 01:04:50,799
We don

1848
01:04:50,799 --> 01:04:50,972
t have streetlights. We

1849
01:04:50,972 --> 01:04:52,167
don

1850
01:04:52,167 --> 01:04:53,503
t have sidewalks. But you

1851
01:04:53,503 --> 01:04:54,503
know what? We have peace of

1852
01:04:54,503 --> 01:04:55,438
mind. We don

1853
01:04:55,438 --> 01:04:56,638
t have a lot of

1854
01:04:56,638 --> 01:04:57,173
commotion. We don

1855
01:04:57,173 --> 01:04:59,173
t have to

1856
01:04:59,742 --> 01:05:01,770
deal with. Excuse me, the bs of

1857
01:05:01,770 --> 01:05:02,478
most of the my friends that

1858
01:05:02,478 --> 01:05:04,800
live in the city of Simi

1859
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:05,181
Valley. So I

1860
01:05:05,181 --> 01:05:06,715
m opposed, um,

1861
01:05:06,715 --> 01:05:08,818
against this. I also want to

1862
01:05:08,818 --> 01:05:10,653
ask you guys, what benefit will

1863
01:05:10,653 --> 01:05:12,888
r us as residents of the

1864
01:05:12,888 --> 01:05:15,288
islands get from annexation?

1865
01:05:16,492 --> 01:05:18,494
Besides an increase in taxes?

1866
01:05:18,494 --> 01:05:19,362
Besides having to change a

1867
01:05:19,362 --> 01:05:20,396
bunch of stuff on our

1868
01:05:20,396 --> 01:05:20,570
properties because now it

1869
01:05:20,570 --> 01:05:22,498
s

1870
01:05:22,498 --> 01:05:23,733
going to be under city instead

1871
01:05:23,733 --> 01:05:25,701
of Ventura County, Ventura

1872
01:05:25,701 --> 01:05:28,537
County is much more lenient and

1873
01:05:28,537 --> 01:05:30,500
much more easier to deal with,

1874
01:05:30,500 --> 01:05:30,739
you know? So I

1875
01:05:30,739 --> 01:05:32,800
m not happy

1876
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:32,574
about that. Uh, I

1877
01:05:32,574 --> 01:05:33,643
d like to

1878
01:05:33,643 --> 01:05:35,111
know from you guys what,

1879
01:05:35,111 --> 01:05:36,246
besides those two things that I

1880
01:05:36,246 --> 01:05:36,418
mentioned, what benefit I

1881
01:05:36,418 --> 01:05:38,418
m

1882
01:05:38,481 --> 01:05:40,683
going to get from being a city

1883
01:05:40,683 --> 01:05:41,917
member? Also, I want to know

1884
01:05:41,917 --> 01:05:43,180
what happens to the residents

1885
01:05:43,180 --> 01:05:43,219
of the islands of the project

1886
01:05:43,219 --> 01:05:44,653
doesn

1887
01:05:44,653 --> 01:05:46,289
t get built. So you guys

1888
01:05:46,289 --> 01:05:48,524
annex our properties, which I

1889
01:05:48,524 --> 01:05:50,893
see as a city grab. And all of

1890
01:05:50,893 --> 01:05:51,761
a sudden stuff happens and the

1891
01:05:51,761 --> 01:05:53,262
project doesn

1892
01:05:53,262 --> 01:05:53,432
t go forward, but

1893
01:05:53,432 --> 01:05:55,432
we

1894
01:05:58,400 --> 01:05:59,935
re still annexed. Okay? And

1895
01:05:59,935 --> 01:06:01,604
the other thing is we do not

1896
01:06:01,604 --> 01:06:04,574
have enough power in the city

1897
01:06:04,574 --> 01:06:07,176
of Simi Valley. We all know

1898
01:06:07,176 --> 01:06:07,543
power outages, brownouts. So

1899
01:06:07,543 --> 01:06:08,277
now you

1900
01:06:08,277 --> 01:06:10,277
re talking about

1901
01:06:12,115 --> 01:06:13,382
putting in another 2000 homes.

1902
01:06:13,382 --> 01:06:16,219
Where are we going to get the

1903
01:06:16,219 --> 01:06:16,452
electricity from 2000 homes. A

1904
01:06:16,452 --> 01:06:17,286
little.

1905
01:06:17,286 --> 01:06:18,721
More.

1906
01:06:18,721 --> 01:06:20,721
200, 200.

1907
01:06:22,825 --> 01:06:24,694
And how many multi. Uh, 207.

1908
01:06:24,694 --> 01:06:26,229
And the multifamily.

1909
01:06:26,229 --> 01:06:27,797
Including the multi-family.

1910
01:06:27,797 --> 01:06:28,898
Okay. Anyway, where are we

1911
01:06:28,898 --> 01:06:31,000
going to get the power for all

1912
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:31,935
of this. I mean I

1913
01:06:31,935 --> 01:06:33,269
m sure if you

1914
01:06:33,269 --> 01:06:33,803
all live in city, you

1915
01:06:33,803 --> 01:06:35,171
ve all

1916
01:06:35,171 --> 01:06:37,171
experienced brownouts,

1917
01:06:37,207 --> 01:06:38,740
blackouts, power outages, my

1918
01:06:38,740 --> 01:06:40,510
friends, uh, off of corner, a

1919
01:06:40,510 --> 01:06:42,779
couple, uh, Thanksgivings ago

1920
01:06:42,779 --> 01:06:43,713
had no power for four days.

1921
01:06:43,713 --> 01:06:44,314
Okay, so now we

1922
01:06:44,314 --> 01:06:46,314
re putting in

1923
01:06:46,482 --> 01:06:47,216
all of these new people, plus

1924
01:06:47,216 --> 01:06:49,850
the noise from the

1925
01:06:49,850 --> 01:06:50,352
construction. The roads got

1926
01:06:50,352 --> 01:06:52,755
damaged from all the trucks

1927
01:06:52,755 --> 01:06:54,391
going to the to the dump

1928
01:06:54,391 --> 01:06:54,571
because of the fires. So now

1929
01:06:54,571 --> 01:06:55,691
we

1930
01:06:55,691 --> 01:06:56,920
re going to damage our roads

1931
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:56,859
somewhere. We

1932
01:06:56,859 --> 01:06:57,893
re going to cause

1933
01:06:57,893 --> 01:06:58,161
some more traffic. We

1934
01:06:58,161 --> 01:06:59,629
re going

1935
01:06:59,629 --> 01:06:59,862
to ruin our freeways. We

1936
01:06:59,862 --> 01:07:01,862
re

1937
01:07:02,310 --> 01:07:03,933
going to make it horribly

1938
01:07:03,933 --> 01:07:06,135
impossible to get up to the dog

1939
01:07:06,135 --> 01:07:07,804
park, which I usually frequent,

1940
01:07:07,804 --> 01:07:10,807
you know, so not happy about

1941
01:07:10,807 --> 01:07:13,276
that. Um, also, what I want to

1942
01:07:13,276 --> 01:07:15,878
say is, you guys, this is

1943
01:07:15,878 --> 01:07:17,981
number four of your on the

1944
01:07:17,981 --> 01:07:19,382
other side of the map, uh, is

1945
01:07:19,382 --> 01:07:20,884
the city required to request

1946
01:07:20,884 --> 01:07:22,884
annexation of unincorporated

1947
01:07:23,453 --> 01:07:25,121
islands? Lafco law does not

1948
01:07:25,121 --> 01:07:26,489
require a city to request the

1949
01:07:26,489 --> 01:07:27,991
annexation of unincorporated

1950
01:07:27,991 --> 01:07:29,258
islands. The city is free to

1951
01:07:29,258 --> 01:07:30,694
make that choice. So you guys

1952
01:07:30,694 --> 01:07:32,795
make that choice. So please

1953
01:07:32,795 --> 01:07:34,630
rescind that choice. We do not

1954
01:07:34,630 --> 01:07:37,233
want to be on it. I do not want

1955
01:07:37,233 --> 01:07:38,634
to be a part of Simi Valley,

1956
01:07:38,634 --> 01:07:41,437
okay? Because you do not want

1957
01:07:41,437 --> 01:07:42,872
to know how I vote. Okay. So

1958
01:07:42,872 --> 01:07:44,607
all I have to say is I believe

1959
01:07:44,607 --> 01:07:46,142
that this is a city grab for

1960
01:07:46,142 --> 01:07:47,911
properties and I oppose it.

1961
01:07:47,911 --> 01:07:49,646
Stop the annexation. You asked

1962
01:07:49,646 --> 01:07:52,646
for it. Rescind the application

1963
01:07:56,853 --> 01:08:00,453
and leave us the heck alone.

1964
01:08:03,250 --> 01:08:05,250
Thank you.

1965
01:08:05,662 --> 01:08:09,262
And I believe our last speaker

1966
01:08:25,582 --> 01:08:25,915
card is Vern oath. There we go.

1967
01:08:25,915 --> 01:08:27,915
Hi. That

1968
01:08:28,451 --> 01:08:30,453
s Vern Orth Island

1969
01:08:30,453 --> 01:08:31,554
eight, Island eight.

1970
01:08:31,554 --> 01:08:33,554
Yeah.

1971
01:08:35,358 --> 01:08:36,560
Um, personally, I think this

1972
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,928
agreement is between the

1973
01:08:38,928 --> 01:08:39,429
developer and the city of Simi.

1974
01:08:39,429 --> 01:08:41,164
I don

1975
01:08:41,164 --> 01:08:44,164
t really like seeing more

1976
01:08:44,300 --> 01:08:47,203
open space getting paved over,

1977
01:08:47,203 --> 01:08:49,500
but my big my big, uh,

1978
01:08:49,500 --> 01:08:50,439
complaint is this annexation

1979
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:50,612
thing of the other islands.

1980
01:08:50,612 --> 01:08:52,612
It

1981
01:08:53,343 --> 01:08:56,579
s our lafco rep here today

1982
01:08:56,579 --> 01:08:57,814
at the last meeting. Uh, we

1983
01:08:57,814 --> 01:08:58,649
really had to pin him down. He

1984
01:08:58,649 --> 01:08:59,383
admitted that

1985
01:08:59,383 --> 01:09:00,583
s not part of the

1986
01:09:00,583 --> 01:09:02,583
code. That

1987
01:09:02,919 --> 01:09:05,319
s their policy. And

1988
01:09:05,488 --> 01:09:09,880
if you have, uh, the California

1989
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,920
code, five, six, 375, it states

1990
01:09:12,950 --> 01:09:14,598
Lafco MAY not mandate or

1991
01:09:14,598 --> 01:09:14,965
require annexation, and it

1992
01:09:14,965 --> 01:09:16,965
s up

1993
01:09:17,767 --> 01:09:21,367
to the residents of that island

1994
01:09:21,938 --> 01:09:22,605
to request that. So we keep

1995
01:09:22,605 --> 01:09:23,373
hearing this. It

1996
01:09:23,373 --> 01:09:23,540
s required.

1997
01:09:23,540 --> 01:09:24,741
It

1998
01:09:24,741 --> 01:09:25,509
s mandated. We have to do

1999
01:09:25,509 --> 01:09:26,442
this. And that

2000
01:09:26,442 --> 01:09:28,345
s simply not

2001
01:09:28,345 --> 01:09:29,120
true. So that

2002
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:30,547
s all I got to

2003
01:09:30,547 --> 01:09:32,547
say.

2004
01:09:40,791 --> 01:09:42,559
Thank you.

2005
01:09:42,559 --> 01:09:43,960
Okay. Uh, are there any

2006
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:45,329
comments from staff regarding

2007
01:09:45,329 --> 01:09:47,729
statements made during the

2008
01:09:51,670 --> 01:09:52,836
public hearing? And deputy city

2009
01:09:52,836 --> 01:09:53,736
planner as well?

2010
01:09:53,736 --> 01:09:54,271
Do you want to start? You want

2011
01:09:54,271 --> 01:09:54,441
me to start?

2012
01:09:54,441 --> 01:09:55,605
I

2013
01:09:55,605 --> 01:09:58,500
ll start with Elizabeth.

2014
01:09:59,876 --> 01:10:01,876
Okay. Elizabeth.

2015
01:10:02,879 --> 01:10:04,748
Um, so starting with Emily

2016
01:10:04,748 --> 01:10:07,500
Walker, she made comments about

2017
01:10:07,500 --> 01:10:08,251
the wildfires. Um, just as a

2018
01:10:08,251 --> 01:10:09,819
note, this project will

2019
01:10:09,819 --> 01:10:11,522
continue to be reviewed by the

2020
01:10:11,522 --> 01:10:13,922
Ventura County Fire Department.

2021
01:10:14,225 --> 01:10:16,126
They have printed they have

2022
01:10:16,126 --> 01:10:19,126
done a draft preliminary review

2023
01:10:22,265 --> 01:10:23,567
and approval of the, um. Oh, my

2024
01:10:23,567 --> 01:10:26,567
gosh, the board just escaped

2025
01:10:26,803 --> 01:10:28,705
me. The, um, the fuel

2026
01:10:28,705 --> 01:10:31,105
modification plan. Thank you.

2027
01:10:32,900 --> 01:10:33,610
Um, and this is the approved

2028
01:10:33,610 --> 01:10:35,412
fuel modification. This is the

2029
01:10:35,412 --> 01:10:36,647
acceptable fuel modification

2030
01:10:36,647 --> 01:10:37,715
plan. But as we move forward

2031
01:10:37,715 --> 01:10:37,879
with building permits, they

2032
01:10:37,879 --> 01:10:38,948
re

2033
01:10:38,948 --> 01:10:40,384
going to continue reviewing

2034
01:10:40,384 --> 01:10:43,320
this to ensure that it complies

2035
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:46,320
with, um, with current rules.

2036
01:10:46,890 --> 01:10:49,626
Um, there were questions about

2037
01:10:49,626 --> 01:10:50,894
water. Um, Ventura, uh, City

2038
01:10:50,894 --> 01:10:52,963
Waterworks District eight has

2039
01:10:52,963 --> 01:10:55,765
reviewed it. This uses, um,

2040
01:10:55,765 --> 01:10:57,201
only 5% of the surplus, um,

2041
01:10:57,201 --> 01:10:57,401
water supply that we have. So

2042
01:10:57,401 --> 01:10:59,401
there

2043
01:11:00,838 --> 01:11:02,306
s water available. Um,

2044
01:11:02,306 --> 01:11:04,241
she had concerns about losing

2045
01:11:04,241 --> 01:11:05,743
the animal overlay staff has

2046
01:11:05,743 --> 01:11:07,344
studied the zoning maps to

2047
01:11:07,344 --> 01:11:08,545
ensure that the animal overlays

2048
01:11:08,545 --> 01:11:10,847
that are allowed by the county

2049
01:11:10,847 --> 01:11:13,247
continue is, upon annexation

2050
01:11:13,383 --> 01:11:15,385
into the city. Um, Island

2051
01:11:15,385 --> 01:11:17,421
eight, we did update to include

2052
01:11:17,421 --> 01:11:20,421
animal um, the animal overlay

2053
01:11:22,726 --> 01:11:25,695
with the pre zone. Um, MISS

2054
01:11:25,695 --> 01:11:27,564
Cheney, um, she has concerns

2055
01:11:27,564 --> 01:11:30,100
about septic continue with the

2056
01:11:30,100 --> 01:11:32,269
animals. Um, and the dust

2057
01:11:32,269 --> 01:11:32,936
mitigation. So city staff has

2058
01:11:32,936 --> 01:11:33,303
identified that we

2059
01:11:33,303 --> 01:11:34,605
re going to

2060
01:11:34,605 --> 01:11:35,600
continue to allow the septic

2061
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:35,572
systems. We

2062
01:11:35,572 --> 01:11:37,340
re not going to

2063
01:11:37,340 --> 01:11:40,340
force connection to the sewer

2064
01:11:41,144 --> 01:11:42,446
upon annexation. Um, Runkle,

2065
01:11:42,446 --> 01:11:45,282
uh, she had concerns about the

2066
01:11:45,282 --> 01:11:47,217
dust. The, uh, mitigation

2067
01:11:47,217 --> 01:11:49,253
measures from the eir and the

2068
01:11:49,253 --> 01:11:50,420
air quality section do require

2069
01:11:50,420 --> 01:11:52,322
that there be dust mitigation

2070
01:11:52,322 --> 01:11:53,891
during construction. Um,

2071
01:11:53,891 --> 01:11:55,258
normally they put silt fencing

2072
01:11:55,258 --> 01:11:57,428
up on the fences to keep, to

2073
01:11:57,428 --> 01:11:58,628
try to keep the dust in, um,

2074
01:11:58,628 --> 01:12:00,970
contained within the property,

2075
01:12:00,970 --> 01:12:01,933
as well as having water trucks

2076
01:12:01,933 --> 01:12:05,533
to water it down, especially in

2077
01:12:05,536 --> 01:12:07,337
high wind events. Um, MR.

2078
01:12:07,337 --> 01:12:08,572
Hardy, he has questions about

2079
01:12:08,572 --> 01:12:10,974
where to find the fiscal impact

2080
01:12:10,974 --> 01:12:12,309
analysis that is attached to

2081
01:12:12,309 --> 01:12:13,377
the development agreement,

2082
01:12:13,377 --> 01:12:13,644
which is included in tonight

2083
01:12:13,644 --> 01:12:15,644
s

2084
01:12:17,114 --> 01:12:17,481
staff report. Packet. Um, it

2085
01:12:17,481 --> 01:12:17,781
s

2086
01:12:17,781 --> 01:12:19,781
a it

2087
01:12:19,917 --> 01:12:21,419
s a, um, it

2088
01:12:21,419 --> 01:12:22,252
s an exhibit

2089
01:12:22,252 --> 01:12:23,387
to it. I believe it

2090
01:12:23,387 --> 01:12:25,387
s exhibit

2091
01:12:28,325 --> 01:12:30,294
b. Um.

2092
01:12:30,294 --> 01:12:31,529
Was that in front table?

2093
01:12:31,529 --> 01:12:32,196
The report is posted on the

2094
01:12:32,196 --> 01:12:33,331
website. It

2095
01:12:33,331 --> 01:12:35,320
s like an 800 page

2096
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:36,334
report.

2097
01:12:36,334 --> 01:12:37,267
Um, he also made comments that

2098
01:12:37,267 --> 01:12:38,569
the Planning commission and

2099
01:12:38,569 --> 01:12:40,505
City council have the ability

2100
01:12:40,505 --> 01:12:42,640
to change the island annexation

2101
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:43,875
policy. That policy is state

2102
01:12:43,875 --> 01:12:45,242
law. Um, it

2103
01:12:45,242 --> 01:12:47,642
s not a policy

2104
01:12:48,412 --> 01:12:50,448
that, um, that the city has,

2105
01:12:50,448 --> 01:12:52,249
uh, regulations, uh, has the

2106
01:12:52,249 --> 01:12:53,217
ability to regulate that state

2107
01:12:53,217 --> 01:12:53,817
law. And then it

2108
01:12:53,817 --> 01:12:55,817
s policy

2109
01:13:00,491 --> 01:13:02,460
adopted by Lafco. Um. MISS

2110
01:13:02,460 --> 01:13:04,962
Zukofsky, she had questions and

2111
01:13:04,962 --> 01:13:05,897
concerns about the electricity.

2112
01:13:05,897 --> 01:13:06,764
Um, our city manager

2113
01:13:06,764 --> 01:13:08,764
s office

2114
01:13:09,133 --> 01:13:11,335
is works with Edison to ensure

2115
01:13:11,335 --> 01:13:11,969
that our that our projects are

2116
01:13:11,969 --> 01:13:13,969
on Edison

2117
01:13:14,138 --> 01:13:14,736
s map. Um, and it

2118
01:13:14,736 --> 01:13:16,736
s

2119
01:13:17,941 --> 01:13:18,209
anticipated that we are, um,

2120
01:13:18,209 --> 01:13:18,943
that we

2121
01:13:18,943 --> 01:13:20,244
re going to be looking

2122
01:13:20,244 --> 01:13:20,544
for electricity. She also said

2123
01:13:20,544 --> 01:13:21,546
that there

2124
01:13:21,546 --> 01:13:22,280
s going to be 2000

2125
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:23,714
homes. That

2126
01:13:23,714 --> 01:13:23,884
s untrue. There

2127
01:13:23,884 --> 01:13:25,884
s

2128
01:13:27,284 --> 01:13:29,284
207, 157 single family homes,

2129
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,360
50 multifamily. And then, um.

2130
01:13:38,496 --> 01:13:39,363
MR. Orth, uh, made the comment

2131
01:13:39,363 --> 01:13:40,970
that I told them it

2132
01:13:40,970 --> 01:13:41,165
s not code

2133
01:13:41,165 --> 01:13:42,666
to annex islands. It

2134
01:13:42,666 --> 01:13:42,934
s policy.

2135
01:13:42,934 --> 01:13:44,934
Um, it

2136
01:13:45,203 --> 01:13:46,300
s a policy. It

2137
01:13:46,300 --> 01:13:47,438
s

2138
01:13:47,438 --> 01:13:49,840
contained in the state in the

2139
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:51,840
2000, Bill Lafco adopted,

2140
01:13:53,711 --> 01:13:53,877
adopted their policy. Um, and

2141
01:13:53,877 --> 01:13:55,120
it

2142
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:56,947
s not a requirement that the

2143
01:13:56,947 --> 01:13:59,183
city today file an application

2144
01:13:59,183 --> 01:13:59,684
just to annex the islands. The

2145
01:13:59,684 --> 01:14:00,552
reason why we

2146
01:14:00,552 --> 01:14:01,919
re annexing the

2147
01:14:01,919 --> 01:14:03,454
islands is because we have the

2148
01:14:03,454 --> 01:14:04,688
North Canyon development and

2149
01:14:04,688 --> 01:14:04,922
Lafco policies. If you

2150
01:14:04,922 --> 01:14:06,922
re going

2151
01:14:07,910 --> 01:14:09,627
to take North Canyons, you have

2152
01:14:09,627 --> 01:14:10,628
to also apply and take the

2153
01:14:10,628 --> 01:14:11,950
islands. And that

2154
01:14:11,950 --> 01:14:11,257
s why we

2155
01:14:11,257 --> 01:14:12,296
re

2156
01:14:12,296 --> 01:14:14,165
here tonight with the island

2157
01:14:14,165 --> 01:14:16,134
annexation.

2158
01:14:16,134 --> 01:14:18,690
As a complete contrast to what

2159
01:14:18,690 --> 01:14:19,737
this paper says. Number four,

2160
01:14:19,737 --> 01:14:21,605
uh, the other side of the map,

2161
01:14:21,605 --> 01:14:24,605
complete contrast of what this

2162
01:14:24,709 --> 01:14:25,109
paper actually says.

2163
01:14:25,109 --> 01:14:25,443
All right, let

2164
01:14:25,443 --> 01:14:25,606
s, uh, let

2165
01:14:25,606 --> 01:14:27,606
s

2166
01:14:28,790 --> 01:14:29,880
hold the comments.

2167
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:31,849
Uh.

2168
01:14:31,849 --> 01:14:34,652
Did you, uh, do a little more

2169
01:14:34,652 --> 01:14:37,652
detail? Elizabeth, on, uh, how

2170
01:14:37,822 --> 01:14:39,822
the 2000, uh, clarification,

2171
01:14:39,991 --> 01:14:40,925
uh, changed the document that

2172
01:14:40,925 --> 01:14:41,192
this lady is talking about

2173
01:14:41,192 --> 01:14:43,192
here.

2174
01:14:44,462 --> 01:14:46,497
Right. So, um, state the 2000

2175
01:14:46,497 --> 01:14:49,670
state law, uh, the city

2176
01:14:49,670 --> 01:14:52,670
legislature, in order to their

2177
01:14:52,137 --> 01:14:54,972
their purpose behind it was to,

2178
01:14:54,972 --> 01:14:57,420
um, make sure that, uh,

2179
01:14:57,420 --> 01:14:59,420
underserved county islands

2180
01:14:59,744 --> 01:15:00,712
were, um, were annexed into the

2181
01:15:00,712 --> 01:15:01,379
cities. However, it

2182
01:15:01,379 --> 01:15:03,140
s a blanket

2183
01:15:03,140 --> 01:15:03,648
statement. It covers all county

2184
01:15:03,648 --> 01:15:04,449
islands. It doesn

2185
01:15:04,449 --> 01:15:06,449
t focus on

2186
01:15:07,184 --> 01:15:07,385
underserved. Our county islands

2187
01:15:07,385 --> 01:15:08,853
aren

2188
01:15:08,853 --> 01:15:10,321
t necessarily underserved,

2189
01:15:10,321 --> 01:15:10,492
but they are islands that don

2190
01:15:10,492 --> 01:15:12,492
t

2191
01:15:12,924 --> 01:15:15,924
receive services from the city.

2192
01:15:17,229 --> 01:15:19,163
Um. I have the faq from Lafco.

2193
01:15:19,163 --> 01:15:20,999
Here.

2194
01:15:20,999 --> 01:15:22,500
Yeah, they say law does not

2195
01:15:22,500 --> 01:15:24,680
require city to request the

2196
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:25,603
annexation of unincorporated

2197
01:15:25,603 --> 01:15:27,138
islands. Those cities are free

2198
01:15:27,138 --> 01:15:28,906
to make such a request to Lafco

2199
01:15:28,906 --> 01:15:31,420
at any time. And I think that

2200
01:15:31,420 --> 01:15:33,345
statement is meaning that the

2201
01:15:33,345 --> 01:15:35,480
city does not have to file an

2202
01:15:35,480 --> 01:15:37,480
independent application to

2203
01:15:38,483 --> 01:15:41,483
Lafco for the island annexation.

2204
01:15:44,890 --> 01:15:46,890
Okay.

2205
01:15:49,260 --> 01:15:49,436
No, no.

2206
01:15:49,436 --> 01:15:50,930
I

2207
01:15:50,930 --> 01:15:52,300
m sorry. Thank you.

2208
01:15:52,300 --> 01:15:52,496
Um, the city doesn

2209
01:15:52,496 --> 01:15:54,496
t have to

2210
01:15:54,799 --> 01:15:57,199
make an independent island

2211
01:15:57,202 --> 01:15:59,602
annexation request. The island

2212
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:03,341
annexations are being included

2213
01:16:03,341 --> 01:16:03,510
with the annexation because

2214
01:16:03,510 --> 01:16:04,809
we

2215
01:16:04,809 --> 01:16:06,344
re annexing North Canyon

2216
01:16:06,344 --> 01:16:08,980
Ranch, and it exceeds the 40

2217
01:16:08,980 --> 01:16:11,249
acres in size. And Lafco policy

2218
01:16:11,249 --> 01:16:14,849
says city. If you annex North

2219
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:17,456
Canyon Ranch, you north. If you

2220
01:16:17,456 --> 01:16:18,890
annex north, if you request to

2221
01:16:18,890 --> 01:16:19,560
annex North Canyon Ranch and

2222
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:20,225
it

2223
01:16:20,225 --> 01:16:22,260
s approved in order to

2224
01:16:22,260 --> 01:16:23,861
record it city, you must file

2225
01:16:23,861 --> 01:16:24,930
application to annex the

2226
01:16:24,930 --> 01:16:26,930
islands.

2227
01:16:27,310 --> 01:16:27,332
So in that it was brought up

2228
01:16:27,332 --> 01:16:28,399
that there

2229
01:16:28,399 --> 01:16:28,600
s two islands that

2230
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:29,567
aren

2231
01:16:29,567 --> 01:16:31,200
t being annexed.

2232
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:31,369
Correct. An island six and

2233
01:16:31,369 --> 01:16:32,704
nine.

2234
01:16:32,704 --> 01:16:33,538
Yeah. And the exception for

2235
01:16:33,538 --> 01:16:33,971
those.

2236
01:16:33,971 --> 01:16:35,540
Uh, they don

2237
01:16:35,540 --> 01:16:37,540
t meet Lafco

2238
01:16:38,209 --> 01:16:39,310
definition of being a island

2239
01:16:39,310 --> 01:16:39,511
that needs to be annexed.

2240
01:16:39,511 --> 01:16:40,679
They

2241
01:16:40,679 --> 01:16:40,879
re not. They use the word

2242
01:16:40,879 --> 01:16:42,580
they

2243
01:16:42,580 --> 01:16:44,980
re not developed. Uh,

2244
01:16:45,683 --> 01:16:47,285
meaning that Island six, which

2245
01:16:47,285 --> 01:16:48,820
is the triangle shaped island

2246
01:16:48,820 --> 01:16:50,880
just north of us here. It only

2247
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:50,421
has a single family residence

2248
01:16:50,421 --> 01:16:51,623
on it. It

2249
01:16:51,623 --> 01:16:53,692
s not fully developed

2250
01:16:53,692 --> 01:16:56,962
to its full potential. And then

2251
01:16:56,962 --> 01:16:58,964
Island nine is a vacant lot,

2252
01:16:58,964 --> 01:16:59,130
um, off of Kuna. Right. And

2253
01:16:59,130 --> 01:17:00,665
it

2254
01:17:00,665 --> 01:17:00,932
s completely undeveloped. So

2255
01:17:00,932 --> 01:17:02,267
they don

2256
01:17:02,267 --> 01:17:04,369
t meet the definition

2257
01:17:04,369 --> 01:17:05,537
of lafco to require the island

2258
01:17:05,537 --> 01:17:06,337
annexation.

2259
01:17:06,337 --> 01:17:08,737
Thank you for that

2260
01:17:17,480 --> 01:17:17,849
clarification.

2261
01:17:17,849 --> 01:17:19,250
On this.

2262
01:17:19,250 --> 01:17:22,850
Uh, would the applicant at this

2263
01:17:26,692 --> 01:17:26,928
time like to respond?

2264
01:17:26,928 --> 01:17:27,759
We

2265
01:17:27,759 --> 01:17:29,261
re going to ask Elaine

2266
01:17:29,261 --> 01:17:30,128
Freeman to address some more of

2267
01:17:30,128 --> 01:17:30,295
the lafco issues.

2268
01:17:30,295 --> 01:17:32,295
She

2269
01:17:32,464 --> 01:17:32,627
s she

2270
01:17:32,627 --> 01:17:32,794
s.

2271
01:17:32,794 --> 01:17:32,961
Pretty well versed.

2272
01:17:32,961 --> 01:17:34,265
In.

2273
01:17:34,265 --> 01:17:35,634
This area.

2274
01:17:35,634 --> 01:17:36,670
Yes. Elaine Freeman, I

2275
01:17:36,670 --> 01:17:37,369
m a

2276
01:17:37,369 --> 01:17:39,400
lafco. I was a lafco

2277
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:41,400
commissioner for 12 or 12

2278
01:17:43,241 --> 01:17:44,843
years. Um, Lafco actually

2279
01:17:44,843 --> 01:17:47,946
formed in the late eight, in

2280
01:17:47,946 --> 01:17:50,281
1963, I believe, and it was

2281
01:17:50,281 --> 01:17:53,281
amended when Hertzberg was on

2282
01:17:53,785 --> 01:17:56,785
the Senate creating the 40 acre

2283
01:17:57,689 --> 01:18:00,689
process. Lafco is a state

2284
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:03,562
mandated agency. Each county in

2285
01:18:03,562 --> 01:18:05,564
the state must have what its

2286
01:18:05,564 --> 01:18:07,964
purpose is orderly development,

2287
01:18:08,867 --> 01:18:10,867
preservation of agriculture.

2288
01:18:11,103 --> 01:18:12,938
Uh, the Commission does the

2289
01:18:12,938 --> 01:18:14,938
annexations. Annexations,

2290
01:18:16,776 --> 01:18:18,577
reorganizations. They also do a

2291
01:18:18,577 --> 01:18:20,977
municipal service review every

2292
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:23,849
five years on all the agencies

2293
01:18:23,849 --> 01:18:24,449
that are covered by Lafco to

2294
01:18:24,449 --> 01:18:25,830
make sure they

2295
01:18:25,830 --> 01:18:26,885
re operating

2296
01:18:26,885 --> 01:18:30,485
under the rules are supposed to

2297
01:18:31,523 --> 01:18:33,792
be operating under this, uh,

2298
01:18:33,792 --> 01:18:35,327
situation occurred when the

2299
01:18:35,327 --> 01:18:37,663
amendment was made to state

2300
01:18:37,663 --> 01:18:39,297
law. That clearly stated that

2301
01:18:39,297 --> 01:18:41,566
the next annexation that

2302
01:18:41,566 --> 01:18:43,966
occurred would require the

2303
01:18:46,572 --> 01:18:48,600
bringing in of all islands, um,

2304
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:50,141
with the exception of the 40

2305
01:18:50,141 --> 01:18:52,143
acres. So this is something

2306
01:18:52,143 --> 01:18:54,480
that is state law. And I know

2307
01:18:54,480 --> 01:18:56,214
there was a comment made to you

2308
01:18:56,214 --> 01:18:59,718
or the city could change that

2309
01:18:59,718 --> 01:19:00,186
law. Uh, no, it doesn

2310
01:19:00,186 --> 01:19:01,520
t work

2311
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:02,788
that way because it is a state

2312
01:19:02,788 --> 01:19:05,324
law. So it would have to go

2313
01:19:05,324 --> 01:19:07,192
through the state legislature,

2314
01:19:07,192 --> 01:19:10,529
create a bill, get it through

2315
01:19:10,529 --> 01:19:13,365
the process, and Lafco has a

2316
01:19:13,365 --> 01:19:15,765
commission, a statewide, uh

2317
01:19:17,102 --> 01:19:19,337
lafco organization. Cal Lafco

2318
01:19:19,337 --> 01:19:21,239
would look at the legislation

2319
01:19:21,239 --> 01:19:23,342
and determine if it was a

2320
01:19:23,342 --> 01:19:24,910
viable piece of legislation

2321
01:19:24,910 --> 01:19:27,379
that Cal Lafco would even

2322
01:19:27,379 --> 01:19:30,979
support to to change the law

2323
01:19:31,830 --> 01:19:32,718
the way it is existed. So it is

2324
01:19:32,718 --> 01:19:33,285
not a simple process. It

2325
01:19:33,285 --> 01:19:35,285
s a

2326
01:19:36,789 --> 01:19:38,891
statewide process. Um, we just

2327
01:19:38,891 --> 01:19:41,327
happen to be, at this point of

2328
01:19:41,327 --> 01:19:41,501
the legislation, and I know

2329
01:19:41,501 --> 01:19:43,501
it

2330
01:19:44,129 --> 01:19:47,129
s difficult. A lafco meets

2331
01:19:47,299 --> 01:19:48,670
once a month on a Wednesday.

2332
01:19:48,670 --> 01:19:48,868
Uh, assuming there

2333
01:19:48,868 --> 01:19:50,868
s actions

2334
01:19:51,804 --> 01:19:54,606
that need to be taken and it is

2335
01:19:54,606 --> 01:19:57,108
a public hearing, and you will

2336
01:19:57,108 --> 01:19:59,912
the property owners will be

2337
01:19:59,912 --> 01:20:02,281
notified or they should make

2338
01:20:02,281 --> 01:20:05,881
sure that they watch the lafco

2339
01:20:07,820 --> 01:20:10,856
agenda. Um, but as a city, the

2340
01:20:10,856 --> 01:20:12,425
city is actually pretty limited

2341
01:20:12,425 --> 01:20:14,293
in their abilities of what they

2342
01:20:14,293 --> 01:20:16,228
can do on the annexation, since

2343
01:20:16,228 --> 01:20:17,496
it is state law. And I want to

2344
01:20:17,496 --> 01:20:17,676
make that really clear. It

2345
01:20:17,676 --> 01:20:17,853
s

2346
01:20:17,853 --> 01:20:19,853
it

2347
01:20:21,233 --> 01:20:24,603
s a state law. And, um,

2348
01:20:24,603 --> 01:20:26,205
uncomfortable as that is that

2349
01:20:26,205 --> 01:20:27,406
is what the law is. And after

2350
01:20:27,406 --> 01:20:29,642
being a commissioner for all

2351
01:20:29,642 --> 01:20:32,642
those years, um, I can

2352
01:20:32,778 --> 01:20:35,178
sympathize with people, but,

2353
01:20:36,448 --> 01:20:38,884
um, the whole point of Lafco is

2354
01:20:38,884 --> 01:20:41,284
orderly development. And for

2355
01:20:41,454 --> 01:20:43,389
areas to be served by the

2356
01:20:43,389 --> 01:20:46,389
organization that is closer to

2357
01:20:46,592 --> 01:20:49,462
them, which in this case is the

2358
01:20:49,462 --> 01:20:49,662
city of Simi Valley. So if

2359
01:20:49,662 --> 01:20:51,960
there

2360
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:51,265
s any questions on Lafco,

2361
01:20:51,265 --> 01:20:53,265
I

2362
01:20:54,500 --> 01:20:56,102
ll be glad to answer them.

2363
01:20:56,102 --> 01:20:57,870
Can you tell us what state law.

2364
01:20:57,870 --> 01:20:58,470
That is?

2365
01:20:58,470 --> 01:20:58,438
I

2366
01:20:58,438 --> 01:21:00,438
m sorry.

2367
01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:02,508
What what state law is that?

2368
01:21:02,508 --> 01:21:03,750
What is the number?

2369
01:21:03,750 --> 01:21:04,910
Um, it

2370
01:21:04,910 --> 01:21:07,910
s known as the Cortez.

2371
01:21:08,981 --> 01:21:09,181
Cortez. NOx. Hirschberg rule.

2372
01:21:09,181 --> 01:21:11,181
That

2373
01:21:11,216 --> 01:21:11,650
s what you would look up.

2374
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:12,485
I believe it

2375
01:21:12,485 --> 01:21:13,653
s referenced on

2376
01:21:13,653 --> 01:21:13,919
the screen.

2377
01:21:13,919 --> 01:21:14,720
Yeah, it

2378
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:15,788
s in part of the

2379
01:21:15,788 --> 01:21:17,788
presentation.

2380
01:21:18,290 --> 01:21:18,624
Yes. All the rules are in

2381
01:21:18,624 --> 01:21:19,292
there. It

2382
01:21:19,292 --> 01:21:20,693
s. It

2383
01:21:20,693 --> 01:21:22,693
s a rather

2384
01:21:23,362 --> 01:21:25,762
extensive document. Spells out

2385
01:21:28,268 --> 01:21:31,268
everything that can occur. Um,

2386
01:21:31,503 --> 01:21:32,671
within the boundaries. Are

2387
01:21:32,671 --> 01:21:35,710
there any other questions?

2388
01:21:35,140 --> 01:21:37,510
Yeah. So just to summarize, uh,

2389
01:21:37,510 --> 01:21:37,688
so by bringing this project in,

2390
01:21:37,688 --> 01:21:39,688
we

2391
01:21:40,613 --> 01:21:42,247
ve triggered, uh, the lafco,

2392
01:21:42,247 --> 01:21:43,316
uh, annexation of the islands.

2393
01:21:43,316 --> 01:21:44,383
That is correct.

2394
01:21:44,383 --> 01:21:44,684
So, uh, we

2395
01:21:44,684 --> 01:21:45,617
re we

2396
01:21:45,617 --> 01:21:48,170
re in a binary

2397
01:21:48,870 --> 01:21:48,258
situation is right. We don

2398
01:21:48,258 --> 01:21:49,388
t

2399
01:21:49,388 --> 01:21:49,589
approve this project. We don

2400
01:21:49,589 --> 01:21:51,589
t

2401
01:21:52,570 --> 01:21:52,458
trigger lafco. But the next

2402
01:21:52,458 --> 01:21:54,226
project.

2403
01:21:54,226 --> 01:21:54,422
The next annexation, you will.

2404
01:21:54,422 --> 01:21:56,229
It

2405
01:21:56,229 --> 01:21:57,897
s inevitable. Right? And

2406
01:21:57,897 --> 01:21:59,532
there will be a next one.

2407
01:21:59,532 --> 01:22:01,301
Yes.

2408
01:22:01,301 --> 01:22:03,301
Thank you. Um.

2409
01:22:04,103 --> 01:22:06,205
I have a question to, uh. There

2410
01:22:06,205 --> 01:22:07,573
is no way for us to separate

2411
01:22:07,573 --> 01:22:09,541
this. I know the developer

2412
01:22:09,541 --> 01:22:11,143
would love that too, but is

2413
01:22:11,143 --> 01:22:12,512
there a way for us to separate

2414
01:22:12,512 --> 01:22:13,579
that? No.

2415
01:22:13,579 --> 01:22:15,579
Thank you.

2416
01:22:15,849 --> 01:22:16,190
And, Commissioner Tolson,

2417
01:22:16,190 --> 01:22:17,116
you

2418
01:22:17,116 --> 01:22:19,485
re in the queue.

2419
01:22:19,485 --> 01:22:22,622
There was one of the public

2420
01:22:22,622 --> 01:22:23,789
speakers asked what happens if

2421
01:22:23,789 --> 01:22:24,858
the project isn

2422
01:22:24,858 --> 01:22:26,858
t built? Does

2423
01:22:28,660 --> 01:22:31,600
the annexation still happen?

2424
01:22:31,898 --> 01:22:33,866
I would have to say that once

2425
01:22:33,866 --> 01:22:36,803
the annexation is approved and

2426
01:22:36,803 --> 01:22:41,300
becomes part of the city, it is

2427
01:22:42,107 --> 01:22:45,211
part of the city. But I they

2428
01:22:45,211 --> 01:22:47,213
they the applicant has prepared

2429
01:22:47,213 --> 01:22:47,914
all the legals, all the maps,

2430
01:22:47,914 --> 01:22:49,914
everything that

2431
01:22:50,650 --> 01:22:52,552
s required. Um,

2432
01:22:52,552 --> 01:22:54,887
for lafco. That was a

2433
01:22:54,887 --> 01:22:56,923
requirement of the developer to

2434
01:22:56,923 --> 01:22:59,492
get everything ready for Lafco.

2435
01:22:59,492 --> 01:23:03,920
And Lafco is quite aware of

2436
01:23:04,263 --> 01:23:05,664
this process going on. Um, from

2437
01:23:05,664 --> 01:23:07,867
my experience, I would doubt

2438
01:23:07,867 --> 01:23:09,401
very much if someone would take

2439
01:23:09,401 --> 01:23:13,601
it this far and then not build

2440
01:23:14,241 --> 01:23:15,541
the project. Just a guess.

2441
01:23:15,541 --> 01:23:17,541
What? Just another

2442
01:23:17,777 --> 01:23:20,146
clarification. So the, uh, the

2443
01:23:20,146 --> 01:23:22,181
lafco this the trigger for the

2444
01:23:22,181 --> 01:23:23,183
lafco and, uh, so both of these

2445
01:23:23,183 --> 01:23:24,450
processes are running

2446
01:23:24,450 --> 01:23:25,117
concurrently, right?

2447
01:23:25,117 --> 01:23:25,819
Correct.

2448
01:23:25,819 --> 01:23:26,386
Right. And they

2449
01:23:26,386 --> 01:23:27,386
ll continue

2450
01:23:27,386 --> 01:23:29,386
down that timeline

2451
01:23:30,924 --> 01:23:31,324
concurrently. So if, if, uh,

2452
01:23:31,324 --> 01:23:32,258
one can

2453
01:23:32,258 --> 01:23:34,658
t happen without the

2454
01:23:34,961 --> 01:23:35,161
other, right. The builder can

2455
01:23:35,161 --> 01:23:37,161
t

2456
01:23:37,297 --> 01:23:38,264
complete unless, uh, the

2457
01:23:38,264 --> 01:23:39,980
annexation.

2458
01:23:39,980 --> 01:23:40,734
Is correct, they

2459
01:23:40,734 --> 01:23:40,967
re required

2460
01:23:40,967 --> 01:23:42,269
and it

2461
01:23:42,269 --> 01:23:42,468
s within the city of the

2462
01:23:42,468 --> 01:23:44,468
city

2463
01:23:45,104 --> 01:23:46,673
s, sewer boundary. And so

2464
01:23:46,673 --> 01:23:48,307
it has always been anticipated

2465
01:23:48,307 --> 01:23:49,376
it would be brought into the

2466
01:23:49,376 --> 01:23:50,643
city.

2467
01:23:50,643 --> 01:23:51,377
Okay. That clears that up for

2468
01:23:51,377 --> 01:23:51,548
me. Thank you.

2469
01:23:51,548 --> 01:23:52,512
You

2470
01:23:52,512 --> 01:23:54,912
re welcome. Any other

2471
01:23:55,470 --> 01:23:57,470
questions? Yes.

2472
01:23:57,500 --> 01:23:59,886
So what about this development?

2473
01:23:59,886 --> 01:24:01,454
Just be specific. Puts it that

2474
01:24:01,454 --> 01:24:02,188
it has to be incorporated in or

2475
01:24:02,188 --> 01:24:03,456
the islands need to be

2476
01:24:03,456 --> 01:24:04,490
incorporated in. Other

2477
01:24:04,490 --> 01:24:06,890
developments have come into

2478
01:24:07,227 --> 01:24:09,328
play and see me. But what makes

2479
01:24:09,328 --> 01:24:10,496
this development one that

2480
01:24:10,496 --> 01:24:10,664
triggers Lafco?

2481
01:24:10,664 --> 01:24:12,499
It

2482
01:24:12,499 --> 01:24:14,234
s the first one since the

2483
01:24:14,234 --> 01:24:15,101
last annexation.

2484
01:24:15,101 --> 01:24:17,101
Okay.

2485
01:24:20,730 --> 01:24:21,340
Thank you.

2486
01:24:21,340 --> 01:24:23,740
Thank you very much.

2487
01:24:25,445 --> 01:24:26,379
Okay. Any any other, uh, any

2488
01:24:26,379 --> 01:24:26,813
other comments that the

2489
01:24:26,813 --> 01:24:27,547
applicant I

2490
01:24:27,547 --> 01:24:28,315
d like to respond

2491
01:24:28,315 --> 01:24:29,949
to?

2492
01:24:29,949 --> 01:24:31,451
Well, yeah, I just I would, I

2493
01:24:31,451 --> 01:24:34,720
would say just a couple things.

2494
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:36,656
One, you know, and what Elaine

2495
01:24:36,656 --> 01:24:38,325
said about Lafco, you know, in

2496
01:24:38,325 --> 01:24:41,325
state law with the Hertzberg

2497
01:24:42,129 --> 01:24:44,497
bill, um, and their policy to

2498
01:24:44,497 --> 01:24:46,566
bring in these unincorporated

2499
01:24:46,566 --> 01:24:48,340
islands, see, me and Camarillo

2500
01:24:48,340 --> 01:24:50,136
are the only two communities

2501
01:24:50,136 --> 01:24:51,471
that have these islands left.

2502
01:24:51,471 --> 01:24:53,106
All the rest of them, Oxnard,

2503
01:24:53,106 --> 01:24:56,706
Ventura, they all of them have

2504
01:24:56,776 --> 01:24:58,344
been those those issues, uh, of

2505
01:24:58,344 --> 01:25:00,848
not having or having these

2506
01:25:00,848 --> 01:25:02,616
islands not incorporated in the

2507
01:25:02,616 --> 01:25:03,817
cities has been remedied in all

2508
01:25:03,817 --> 01:25:07,417
of the other cities over the

2509
01:25:07,821 --> 01:25:09,989
last 25 years. And so this is

2510
01:25:09,989 --> 01:25:11,692
we can say that right now, this

2511
01:25:11,692 --> 01:25:13,594
is the this project has

2512
01:25:13,594 --> 01:25:14,220
triggered this. But if let

2513
01:25:14,220 --> 01:25:14,828
s

2514
01:25:14,828 --> 01:25:15,261
say for some reason, we didn

2515
01:25:15,261 --> 01:25:16,196
t

2516
01:25:16,196 --> 01:25:16,662
build this project, you

2517
01:25:16,662 --> 01:25:18,465
ve said

2518
01:25:18,465 --> 01:25:21,935
no. And, you know, we had to go

2519
01:25:21,935 --> 01:25:23,971
away. Laugh goes goal and

2520
01:25:23,971 --> 01:25:25,271
stated goal is to remedy this

2521
01:25:25,271 --> 01:25:26,406
issue and bring these islands

2522
01:25:26,406 --> 01:25:27,708
into the city as part of their

2523
01:25:27,708 --> 01:25:28,108
order of the development. It

2524
01:25:28,108 --> 01:25:29,977
s

2525
01:25:29,977 --> 01:25:32,279
going to happen at some point,

2526
01:25:32,279 --> 01:25:32,646
no matter what. And that

2527
01:25:32,646 --> 01:25:32,846
s

2528
01:25:32,846 --> 01:25:33,580
that

2529
01:25:33,580 --> 01:25:34,314
s I mean, they

2530
01:25:34,314 --> 01:25:34,915
re driving

2531
01:25:34,915 --> 01:25:35,549
this. The city isn

2532
01:25:35,549 --> 01:25:35,815
t driving

2533
01:25:35,815 --> 01:25:36,850
this. We

2534
01:25:36,850 --> 01:25:38,185
re not driving. This

2535
01:25:38,185 --> 01:25:39,686
laugh goes driving it because

2536
01:25:39,686 --> 01:25:40,754
they want those islands

2537
01:25:40,754 --> 01:25:42,880
incorporated in the city,

2538
01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:44,625
because that makes sense for

2539
01:25:44,625 --> 01:25:45,993
orderly development. Look, I,

2540
01:25:45,993 --> 01:25:49,262
you know, I was born in the

2541
01:25:49,262 --> 01:25:51,598
house on Avenida in the island

2542
01:25:51,598 --> 01:25:51,757
59 years ago. And, uh, and I

2543
01:25:51,757 --> 01:25:52,833
m

2544
01:25:52,833 --> 01:25:54,668
proud to say I still own that

2545
01:25:54,668 --> 01:25:56,203
house in the island. Uh, and

2546
01:25:56,203 --> 01:25:57,470
for the 20 years that I served

2547
01:25:57,470 --> 01:25:57,704
on the city council, my mom

2548
01:25:57,704 --> 01:25:59,704
couldn

2549
01:26:00,207 --> 01:26:01,442
t vote for me. Uh, in

2550
01:26:01,442 --> 01:26:02,642
any of the elections. So one of

2551
01:26:02,642 --> 01:26:05,145
the questions was, what are the

2552
01:26:05,145 --> 01:26:05,312
benefits that you get that you

2553
01:26:05,312 --> 01:26:07,214
don

2554
01:26:07,214 --> 01:26:09,349
t get now? Well, you get to

2555
01:26:09,349 --> 01:26:11,985
come down here as a resident

2556
01:26:11,985 --> 01:26:14,287
and now constituent that no

2557
01:26:14,287 --> 01:26:15,989
longer, you know, is, you know,

2558
01:26:15,989 --> 01:26:17,391
a non constituent in the city.

2559
01:26:17,391 --> 01:26:19,793
And when the city makes you a

2560
01:26:19,793 --> 01:26:20,928
promise. And I liked what one

2561
01:26:20,928 --> 01:26:22,629
woman, I think it was a lady

2562
01:26:22,629 --> 01:26:25,632
who came up and said, put it in

2563
01:26:25,632 --> 01:26:25,899
writing and commit to us that

2564
01:26:25,899 --> 01:26:27,234
you won

2565
01:26:27,234 --> 01:26:28,868
t take away our animal

2566
01:26:28,868 --> 01:26:29,360
overlay. Commit to us. You

2567
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:30,737
won

2568
01:26:30,737 --> 01:26:33,274
t make you know, the the

2569
01:26:33,274 --> 01:26:35,709
sewer mandatory and those types

2570
01:26:35,709 --> 01:26:37,511
of things. Um, if you try to

2571
01:26:37,511 --> 01:26:38,979
change it and you come down as

2572
01:26:38,979 --> 01:26:40,979
an unincorporated island

2573
01:26:41,140 --> 01:26:42,282
person, you really are speaking

2574
01:26:42,282 --> 01:26:44,510
as a, you might as well be from

2575
01:26:44,510 --> 01:26:45,180
San Fernando Valley. And the

2576
01:26:45,180 --> 01:26:45,385
one lady said, I don

2577
01:26:45,385 --> 01:26:46,954
t want to

2578
01:26:46,954 --> 01:26:48,188
be part of Sammy. I mean, so

2579
01:26:48,188 --> 01:26:48,355
you could be anywhere if you

2580
01:26:48,355 --> 01:26:49,256
don

2581
01:26:49,256 --> 01:26:50,758
t want to be part of Simi

2582
01:26:50,758 --> 01:26:51,425
Valley. And so but if you

2583
01:26:51,425 --> 01:26:53,425
re a

2584
01:26:53,627 --> 01:26:54,895
constituent resident, then you

2585
01:26:54,895 --> 01:26:56,963
can come back down and hold

2586
01:26:56,963 --> 01:26:58,431
your city council accountable

2587
01:26:58,431 --> 01:26:58,632
to the commitments that they

2588
01:26:58,632 --> 01:27:00,134
ve

2589
01:27:00,134 --> 01:27:00,333
made. And so I think there

2590
01:27:00,333 --> 01:27:00,534
s

2591
01:27:00,534 --> 01:27:01,335
there

2592
01:27:01,335 --> 01:27:02,770
s just a little different

2593
01:27:02,770 --> 01:27:03,300
way. A lot of the other issues

2594
01:27:03,300 --> 01:27:05,300
I can

2595
01:27:05,105 --> 01:27:06,907
t argue about, uh, you

2596
01:27:06,907 --> 01:27:08,409
know, but I think the city has

2597
01:27:08,409 --> 01:27:10,644
gone above and beyond to make

2598
01:27:10,644 --> 01:27:12,179
sure that these residents, if

2599
01:27:12,179 --> 01:27:13,747
they are incorporated, get to

2600
01:27:13,747 --> 01:27:15,215
maintain the quality of life

2601
01:27:15,215 --> 01:27:15,416
and the style of life that

2602
01:27:15,416 --> 01:27:16,783
they

2603
01:27:16,783 --> 01:27:18,185
ve become accustomed to. I

2604
01:27:18,185 --> 01:27:19,620
know I watched my mom, my mom

2605
01:27:19,620 --> 01:27:21,554
passed away four years ago,

2606
01:27:21,554 --> 01:27:21,988
and, you know, she didn

2607
01:27:21,988 --> 01:27:23,230
t do a

2608
01:27:23,230 --> 01:27:24,525
lot of landscaping in the

2609
01:27:24,525 --> 01:27:26,459
house, but she kept her weeds

2610
01:27:26,459 --> 01:27:27,761
mowed. You know, she she lived

2611
01:27:27,761 --> 01:27:28,896
a very simple life out there,

2612
01:27:28,896 --> 01:27:30,898
and she loved it. And she was

2613
01:27:30,898 --> 01:27:32,132
part of the hoa that the that

2614
01:27:32,132 --> 01:27:34,401
the lady came up and spoke

2615
01:27:34,401 --> 01:27:36,303
from. Um, it

2616
01:27:36,303 --> 01:27:39,730
s a unique part of

2617
01:27:39,730 --> 01:27:41,175
Simi Valley and the lifestyle

2618
01:27:41,175 --> 01:27:42,609
in those areas are unique. And

2619
01:27:42,609 --> 01:27:45,178
I loved it growing up there.

2620
01:27:45,178 --> 01:27:46,547
And, you know, maybe when I

2621
01:27:46,547 --> 01:27:46,814
outgrow my two storey house and

2622
01:27:46,814 --> 01:27:48,482
I can

2623
01:27:48,482 --> 01:27:48,682
t climb stairs anymore,

2624
01:27:48,682 --> 01:27:48,982
that

2625
01:27:48,982 --> 01:27:49,850
s why I

2626
01:27:49,850 --> 01:27:50,651
m keeping that

2627
01:27:50,651 --> 01:27:52,252
house, because I might move

2628
01:27:52,252 --> 01:27:53,587
back into that one storey, 1900

2629
01:27:53,587 --> 01:27:54,855
square foot house that we built

2630
01:27:54,855 --> 01:27:55,550
in 1964. Because it

2631
01:27:55,550 --> 01:27:55,322
s it

2632
01:27:55,322 --> 01:27:56,220
s a

2633
01:27:56,220 --> 01:27:56,924
great it

2634
01:27:56,924 --> 01:27:57,930
s a great house and

2635
01:27:57,930 --> 01:27:58,659
it

2636
01:27:58,659 --> 01:28:00,627
s a great area, but it is

2637
01:28:00,627 --> 01:28:03,270
literally surrounded by the

2638
01:28:03,330 --> 01:28:04,631
city of Simi Valley. And so I

2639
01:28:04,631 --> 01:28:06,767
would I would leave it at, you

2640
01:28:06,767 --> 01:28:09,670
know, with that, this, this,

2641
01:28:09,670 --> 01:28:11,572
this annexation, uh, was always

2642
01:28:11,572 --> 01:28:14,374
meant to be the the pads were

2643
01:28:14,374 --> 01:28:16,343
built, the city certified them

2644
01:28:16,343 --> 01:28:18,579
the road, you know, circulation

2645
01:28:18,579 --> 01:28:20,470
element was looking to make

2646
01:28:20,470 --> 01:28:20,248
those connections. And we

2647
01:28:20,248 --> 01:28:22,248
re

2648
01:28:22,416 --> 01:28:23,551
coming in under the amount of

2649
01:28:23,551 --> 01:28:23,717
housing that could go there.

2650
01:28:23,717 --> 01:28:24,885
It

2651
01:28:24,885 --> 01:28:27,288
s a good project for this

2652
01:28:27,288 --> 01:28:28,289
community. Um, but I do I

2653
01:28:28,289 --> 01:28:30,289
understand the residents

2654
01:28:30,824 --> 01:28:32,126
concerns. Uh, I will I will ask

2655
01:28:32,126 --> 01:28:32,526
one question. It

2656
01:28:32,526 --> 01:28:33,928
s my

2657
01:28:33,928 --> 01:28:36,364
understanding, and I think the

2658
01:28:36,364 --> 01:28:36,830
staff mentioned it, that it

2659
01:28:36,830 --> 01:28:38,732
ll

2660
01:28:38,732 --> 01:28:40,340
take about a year from the time

2661
01:28:40,340 --> 01:28:41,101
this approval happens, if the

2662
01:28:41,101 --> 01:28:42,803
city council approves it, the

2663
01:28:42,803 --> 01:28:45,739
letter gets sent to Lafco

2664
01:28:45,739 --> 01:28:47,808
before our annexation of just

2665
01:28:47,808 --> 01:28:49,543
our project site comes into the

2666
01:28:49,543 --> 01:28:49,910
city. Then they said there

2667
01:28:49,910 --> 01:28:51,910
s a

2668
01:28:52,846 --> 01:28:55,160
five year window that could be

2669
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:56,484
asked for with Lafco to delay

2670
01:28:56,484 --> 01:28:58,185
annexation of the islands for

2671
01:28:58,185 --> 01:28:59,153
an additional five years. And

2672
01:28:59,153 --> 01:28:59,453
my understanding that there

2673
01:28:59,453 --> 01:29:00,888
s

2674
01:29:00,888 --> 01:29:02,560
two one year additions on top

2675
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:03,423
of that for a total of seven

2676
01:29:03,423 --> 01:29:05,259
years, which would give the

2677
01:29:05,259 --> 01:29:07,259
residents potentially eight

2678
01:29:07,995 --> 01:29:09,329
more years from now before they

2679
01:29:09,329 --> 01:29:12,929
they would come into the city.

2680
01:29:16,170 --> 01:29:16,570
Is that correct?

2681
01:29:16,570 --> 01:29:17,371
I don

2682
01:29:17,371 --> 01:29:19,206
t know about those

2683
01:29:19,206 --> 01:29:20,875
extensions. I heard that as

2684
01:29:20,875 --> 01:29:22,142
well at the, you know, the

2685
01:29:22,142 --> 01:29:23,811
concurrent timeline of the

2686
01:29:23,811 --> 01:29:24,145
annexation could extend five

2687
01:29:24,145 --> 01:29:25,613
years.

2688
01:29:25,613 --> 01:29:28,415
Right? My understanding is we

2689
01:29:28,415 --> 01:29:29,983
can request those, uh, those

2690
01:29:29,983 --> 01:29:31,686
extensions and allow those

2691
01:29:31,686 --> 01:29:33,955
residents to have the security

2692
01:29:33,955 --> 01:29:34,121
to know that their annexations

2693
01:29:34,121 --> 01:29:36,121
won

2694
01:29:36,591 --> 01:29:37,292
t be complete for roughly

2695
01:29:37,292 --> 01:29:38,225
eight additional.

2696
01:29:38,225 --> 01:29:38,393
Years.

2697
01:29:38,393 --> 01:29:38,693
We

2698
01:29:38,693 --> 01:29:39,693
ll have to.

2699
01:29:39,693 --> 01:29:40,661
Approve that. Right.

2700
01:29:40,661 --> 01:29:42,163
But our recommendation.

2701
01:29:42,163 --> 01:29:43,831
Right. So, but the city can

2702
01:29:43,831 --> 01:29:44,932
request that. So the city could

2703
01:29:44,932 --> 01:29:46,767
request that. My understanding

2704
01:29:46,767 --> 01:29:49,537
is Lafco has never denied those

2705
01:29:49,537 --> 01:29:50,571
requests. And so at least that

2706
01:29:50,571 --> 01:29:51,839
would give these residents

2707
01:29:51,839 --> 01:29:52,473
another, let

2708
01:29:52,473 --> 01:29:54,473
s say, eight

2709
01:29:54,876 --> 01:29:57,110
years, 7 or 8 years to not

2710
01:29:57,110 --> 01:30:00,180
worry while the city is putting

2711
01:30:00,180 --> 01:30:01,816
those concerns in writing for

2712
01:30:01,816 --> 01:30:02,149
them. So anyway, I

2713
01:30:02,149 --> 01:30:03,284
m going to

2714
01:30:03,284 --> 01:30:03,984
end there, and I thank you for

2715
01:30:03,984 --> 01:30:05,653
your time and your

2716
01:30:05,653 --> 01:30:06,620
consideration tonight.

2717
01:30:06,620 --> 01:30:08,620
All right.

2718
01:30:12,394 --> 01:30:13,394
Thank you, Lynn. Okay. At this

2719
01:30:13,394 --> 01:30:13,895
time, if there are no further

2720
01:30:13,895 --> 01:30:14,461
questions, we

2721
01:30:14,461 --> 01:30:15,896
ll close the

2722
01:30:15,896 --> 01:30:17,365
public testimony portion of the

2723
01:30:17,365 --> 01:30:18,566
hearing. Are there any comments

2724
01:30:18,566 --> 01:30:19,700
or questions from members of

2725
01:30:19,700 --> 01:30:22,700
the Planning Commission at this

2726
01:30:23,471 --> 01:30:24,538
time?

2727
01:30:24,538 --> 01:30:26,538
I see.

2728
01:30:27,174 --> 01:30:28,376
I see John and the queue.

2729
01:30:28,376 --> 01:30:29,911
I got one question for staff.

2730
01:30:29,911 --> 01:30:33,511
And just to just to clarify

2731
01:30:34,415 --> 01:30:37,415
about the animal overlay, is

2732
01:30:38,152 --> 01:30:40,254
there a is there, um, a sunset

2733
01:30:40,254 --> 01:30:43,854
clause on who would have what

2734
01:30:44,458 --> 01:30:46,227
animals on these annexed areas

2735
01:30:46,227 --> 01:30:48,227
moving forward?

2736
01:30:48,529 --> 01:30:51,366
So in terms of if they have

2737
01:30:51,366 --> 01:30:52,767
animals in areas that do not

2738
01:30:52,767 --> 01:30:55,167
have animal overlays, pre

2739
01:30:56,337 --> 01:30:57,939
zoned, um, that is a point of,

2740
01:30:57,939 --> 01:30:58,139
of island annexation that staff

2741
01:30:58,139 --> 01:31:00,107
hasn

2742
01:31:00,107 --> 01:31:02,507
t begun discussing yet.

2743
01:31:04,178 --> 01:31:06,414
Um, similar to the um, public

2744
01:31:06,414 --> 01:31:08,382
comment about having having a

2745
01:31:08,382 --> 01:31:09,483
list of what are we going to

2746
01:31:09,483 --> 01:31:10,985
enforce and what are we going

2747
01:31:10,985 --> 01:31:11,452
to grandfathered in? That list

2748
01:31:11,452 --> 01:31:13,210
also hasn

2749
01:31:13,210 --> 01:31:15,421
t been worked on.

2750
01:31:20,228 --> 01:31:21,596
Thank you very much.

2751
01:31:21,596 --> 01:31:23,596
Commissioner Christmann.

2752
01:31:23,698 --> 01:31:26,401
Thank you. I actually have the

2753
01:31:26,401 --> 01:31:26,734
list of proposed zoning. It

2754
01:31:26,734 --> 01:31:28,734
s

2755
01:31:29,370 --> 01:31:32,600
number ten on the staff report.

2756
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:36,206
Um, area five and area seven do

2757
01:31:36,311 --> 01:31:39,247
not have any any animal or farm

2758
01:31:39,247 --> 01:31:39,413
animal overlay. Um, and I don

2759
01:31:39,413 --> 01:31:41,413
t

2760
01:31:42,160 --> 01:31:42,584
know if those areas right now

2761
01:31:42,584 --> 01:31:44,252
include it

2762
01:31:44,252 --> 01:31:46,254
s number page number

2763
01:31:46,254 --> 01:31:49,254
ten in the staff report.

2764
01:31:49,290 --> 01:31:51,590
So staff did study county

2765
01:31:51,590 --> 01:31:54,729
county maps to see if they have

2766
01:31:54,729 --> 01:31:55,830
animal overlays on them. Those

2767
01:31:55,830 --> 01:31:56,530
two areas that you

2768
01:31:56,530 --> 01:31:56,898
re seeing,

2769
01:31:56,898 --> 01:31:57,933
they didn

2770
01:31:57,933 --> 01:32:00,333
t have an animal

2771
01:32:01,502 --> 01:32:03,371
overlay per county zoning. Um,

2772
01:32:03,371 --> 01:32:05,506
island eight that were pre

2773
01:32:05,506 --> 01:32:07,408
zoning as part of this action,

2774
01:32:07,408 --> 01:32:09,511
those residential estate lots

2775
01:32:09,511 --> 01:32:11,545
have animal overlays on them

2776
01:32:11,545 --> 01:32:11,713
with the with the county. So

2777
01:32:11,713 --> 01:32:12,280
we

2778
01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:12,747
re continuing we

2779
01:32:12,747 --> 01:32:14,747
re bringing

2780
01:32:15,116 --> 01:32:17,352
those forward with the with the

2781
01:32:17,352 --> 01:32:18,853
annexation with this, um, pre

2782
01:32:18,853 --> 01:32:20,880
zoning request to ensure that

2783
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:21,890
they continue to be allowed to

2784
01:32:21,890 --> 01:32:23,524
have animals. Um, my

2785
01:32:23,524 --> 01:32:25,524
understanding of Commissioner

2786
01:32:25,827 --> 01:32:28,230
Tulsans question was for those

2787
01:32:28,230 --> 01:32:29,960
properties that have animals in

2788
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:31,960
them that don

2789
01:32:31,990 --> 01:32:32,634
t currently have,

2790
01:32:32,634 --> 01:32:34,236
um, an animal overlay on them

2791
01:32:34,236 --> 01:32:35,203
with the, with the, with the

2792
01:32:35,203 --> 01:32:35,670
county. And what

2793
01:32:35,670 --> 01:32:37,138
s going to

2794
01:32:37,138 --> 01:32:39,538
happen to those animals?

2795
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:42,343
Yeah. Thank you. I also, um,

2796
01:32:42,343 --> 01:32:43,745
calculated the overall open

2797
01:32:43,745 --> 01:32:44,679
space that is going to stay

2798
01:32:44,679 --> 01:32:45,346
open. So it

2799
01:32:45,346 --> 01:32:47,150
s a it

2800
01:32:47,150 --> 01:32:48,650
s 44%. I

2801
01:32:48,650 --> 01:32:50,840
think you said around 44. But

2802
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:51,486
then I added it all together

2803
01:32:51,486 --> 01:32:53,154
with the slopes and drainage

2804
01:32:53,154 --> 01:32:53,322
and landscaping and parks. And

2805
01:32:53,322 --> 01:32:53,989
it

2806
01:32:53,989 --> 01:32:55,723
s actually it

2807
01:32:55,723 --> 01:32:56,325
s around 68%.

2808
01:32:56,325 --> 01:32:58,930
So I

2809
01:32:58,930 --> 01:32:59,494
m pretty happy about all

2810
01:32:59,494 --> 01:33:02,998
of the open space that is going

2811
01:33:02,998 --> 01:33:03,432
to stay there. Um, I

2812
01:33:03,432 --> 01:33:04,733
m going to

2813
01:33:04,733 --> 01:33:07,536
let somebody else talk. I have

2814
01:33:07,536 --> 01:33:09,536
more.

2815
01:33:11,940 --> 01:33:14,800
Okay, okay. Uh, a couple people

2816
01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:15,543
brought up costs and fees, has

2817
01:33:15,543 --> 01:33:15,711
city staff looked into, I

2818
01:33:15,711 --> 01:33:17,711
m

2819
01:33:18,780 --> 01:33:20,715
assuming now the county is

2820
01:33:20,715 --> 01:33:22,350
Athens trash service, where the

2821
01:33:22,350 --> 01:33:23,840
city is. Waste management. Is

2822
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:24,886
there that much of a

2823
01:33:24,886 --> 01:33:26,154
discrepancy in trash service

2824
01:33:26,154 --> 01:33:27,560
fees between those two?

2825
01:33:27,560 --> 01:33:27,422
Yes.

2826
01:33:27,422 --> 01:33:27,922
Yeah.

2827
01:33:27,922 --> 01:33:29,491
Okay.

2828
01:33:29,491 --> 01:33:29,652
Okay.

2829
01:33:29,652 --> 01:33:31,260
I

2830
01:33:31,260 --> 01:33:34,626
ll see if staff has any

2831
01:33:37,799 --> 01:33:39,501
answers first.

2832
01:33:39,501 --> 01:33:40,869
Sean, I don

2833
01:33:40,869 --> 01:33:43,672
t know the cost of

2834
01:33:43,672 --> 01:33:44,206
our trash services versus.

2835
01:33:44,206 --> 01:33:45,307
I don

2836
01:33:45,307 --> 01:33:47,308
t know the exact numbers,

2837
01:33:47,308 --> 01:33:50,450
Commissioner, but I did hear,

2838
01:33:50,450 --> 01:33:52,347
uh, in a conversation that was

2839
01:33:52,347 --> 01:33:53,549
at least $10 per month. More

2840
01:33:53,549 --> 01:33:54,483
expensive.

2841
01:33:54,483 --> 01:33:56,483
For the city.

2842
01:33:57,520 --> 01:33:59,821
For waste management is at

2843
01:33:59,821 --> 01:34:02,457
least $10 a month. More than

2844
01:34:02,457 --> 01:34:03,325
Athens. So it is an increase it

2845
01:34:03,325 --> 01:34:03,992
you know, it could be very

2846
01:34:03,992 --> 01:34:04,426
situation. I don

2847
01:34:04,426 --> 01:34:06,940
t have the

2848
01:34:06,940 --> 01:34:07,950
exact numbers, but yeah, based

2849
01:34:07,950 --> 01:34:07,266
on the audience reaction, it

2850
01:34:07,266 --> 01:34:09,266
s

2851
01:34:10,165 --> 01:34:13,765
very clear that the, um, waste

2852
01:34:14,770 --> 01:34:16,171
management is more, um, the

2853
01:34:16,171 --> 01:34:18,171
commission could always

2854
01:34:18,974 --> 01:34:21,974
recommend that the city council

2855
01:34:24,846 --> 01:34:27,115
or, um, it that the, you know,

2856
01:34:27,115 --> 01:34:28,350
the applicant or the city, um,

2857
01:34:28,350 --> 01:34:29,951
reach out to Waste management

2858
01:34:29,951 --> 01:34:31,253
to see if, if and when

2859
01:34:31,253 --> 01:34:31,453
annexation does occur, if

2860
01:34:31,453 --> 01:34:32,354
there

2861
01:34:32,354 --> 01:34:34,823
s some sort of grace

2862
01:34:34,823 --> 01:34:37,823
period to for those islands,

2863
01:34:39,610 --> 01:34:40,262
perhaps some sort of negotiated

2864
01:34:40,262 --> 01:34:41,697
settlement just for those

2865
01:34:41,697 --> 01:34:43,165
customers, there MAY be

2866
01:34:43,165 --> 01:34:45,565
something, maybe a goodwill

2867
01:34:45,601 --> 01:34:47,336
gesture, just a suggestion.

2868
01:34:47,336 --> 01:34:48,604
And the other part was

2869
01:34:48,604 --> 01:34:50,720
somebody, one of the speakers

2870
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:52,472
brought up, specifically a

2871
01:34:53,575 --> 01:34:55,143
permit fee was $107 more for

2872
01:34:55,143 --> 01:34:57,446
the city than for the county.

2873
01:34:57,446 --> 01:34:58,413
Again, any idea of the validity

2874
01:34:58,413 --> 01:34:58,880
of that? I

2875
01:34:58,880 --> 01:34:59,114
m assuming it

2876
01:34:59,114 --> 01:35:01,114
s a

2877
01:35:02,117 --> 01:35:02,291
true statement, but I

2878
01:35:02,291 --> 01:35:03,618
m

2879
01:35:03,618 --> 01:35:04,320
assuming that we can.

2880
01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:05,860
Again, we haven

2881
01:35:05,860 --> 01:35:07,860
t studied the

2882
01:35:07,756 --> 01:35:08,890
cost comparison between, um,

2883
01:35:08,890 --> 01:35:10,659
Ventura County Building

2884
01:35:10,659 --> 01:35:12,193
Department permit fees versus

2885
01:35:12,193 --> 01:35:13,729
City of Simi Valley building

2886
01:35:13,729 --> 01:35:14,235
permit fees. Um, that

2887
01:35:14,235 --> 01:35:15,364
s

2888
01:35:15,364 --> 01:35:16,999
something that we could study

2889
01:35:16,999 --> 01:35:18,999
for city council.

2890
01:35:23,104 --> 01:35:25,104
Okay. Thank you.

2891
01:35:27,609 --> 01:35:28,544
Any other comments, questions,

2892
01:35:28,544 --> 01:35:30,544
questions?

2893
01:35:31,180 --> 01:35:32,781
Do you have more questions? Uh.

2894
01:35:32,781 --> 01:35:34,781
Lost my question.

2895
01:35:36,918 --> 01:35:37,620
Um.

2896
01:35:37,620 --> 01:35:37,887
You guys are coming up with

2897
01:35:37,887 --> 01:35:39,187
yours. I

2898
01:35:39,187 --> 01:35:41,190
ll come up with mine.

2899
01:35:41,190 --> 01:35:43,692
Um, one of the things that says

2900
01:35:43,692 --> 01:35:45,327
multifamily housing is that

2901
01:35:45,327 --> 01:35:47,727
just higher density housing,

2902
01:35:48,230 --> 01:35:50,532
like townhomes or truly for

2903
01:35:50,532 --> 01:35:52,532
plexus and multifamily.

2904
01:35:54,700 --> 01:35:54,937
Um, the multifamily, um, it

2905
01:35:54,937 --> 01:35:56,572
would depend upon what the

2906
01:35:56,572 --> 01:35:58,407
applicant proposes. Um,

2907
01:35:58,407 --> 01:36:00,407
multifamily would cover

2908
01:36:01,430 --> 01:36:01,610
attached units. Um, it

2909
01:36:01,610 --> 01:36:01,779
s just

2910
01:36:01,779 --> 01:36:03,212
it

2911
01:36:03,212 --> 01:36:04,814
s not a traditional single

2912
01:36:04,814 --> 01:36:06,814
family detached house.

2913
01:36:07,616 --> 01:36:08,784
So MR. Becerra, he actually

2914
01:36:08,784 --> 01:36:11,184
answered that question because

2915
01:36:11,220 --> 01:36:11,954
I asked it was townhomes.

2916
01:36:11,954 --> 01:36:13,823
Townhomes.

2917
01:36:13,823 --> 01:36:15,257
So no fourplex I mean duplexes

2918
01:36:15,257 --> 01:36:17,657
are find individually, but

2919
01:36:18,193 --> 01:36:19,161
fourplex is any of those or no.

2920
01:36:19,161 --> 01:36:20,462
Four packs. It

2921
01:36:20,462 --> 01:36:22,531
s five acres and

2922
01:36:22,531 --> 01:36:24,900
it comes down to ten, ten units

2923
01:36:24,900 --> 01:36:26,335
per acre. Okay. So the density

2924
01:36:26,335 --> 01:36:26,902
on the on the land that it

2925
01:36:26,902 --> 01:36:28,902
s

2926
01:36:29,304 --> 01:36:30,873
sitting on is quite low. But it

2927
01:36:30,873 --> 01:36:32,108
is four packs and there are 50

2928
01:36:32,108 --> 01:36:32,541
of them. But again, it

2929
01:36:32,541 --> 01:36:33,709
s ten

2930
01:36:33,709 --> 01:36:34,310
units per acre.

2931
01:36:34,310 --> 01:36:36,310
Okay.

2932
01:36:41,918 --> 01:36:44,187
Thank you. Thank you.

2933
01:36:44,187 --> 01:36:46,689
Mine is more of a comment. I

2934
01:36:46,689 --> 01:36:48,291
would encourage, uh, the city

2935
01:36:48,291 --> 01:36:49,658
to to delay the application of

2936
01:36:49,658 --> 01:36:51,928
the annexation of the islands.

2937
01:36:51,928 --> 01:36:54,897
If we were to push this project

2938
01:36:54,897 --> 01:36:56,465
forward just for the sake of,

2939
01:36:56,465 --> 01:36:58,734
uh, giving more time to the

2940
01:36:58,734 --> 01:37:00,236
residents and also for the sake

2941
01:37:00,236 --> 01:37:02,772
of our police department to be

2942
01:37:02,772 --> 01:37:04,741
able to properly prepare for

2943
01:37:04,741 --> 01:37:07,141
for the annexation, because

2944
01:37:07,509 --> 01:37:11,109
they will have to probably add

2945
01:37:14,750 --> 01:37:17,150
more force to it.

2946
01:37:21,900 --> 01:37:23,459
Any other comments? Questions?

2947
01:37:23,459 --> 01:37:24,527
Okay. At this time, uh, MAY

2948
01:37:24,527 --> 01:37:26,161
please have a reading of the

2949
01:37:26,161 --> 01:37:28,161

on that as well?

2994
01:39:45,635 --> 01:39:48,350
Yes. Um, the recommendations

2995
01:39:49,205 --> 01:39:52,800
were to, uh, delayed the, the,

2996
01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:54,544
the, um, annexation as much as

2997
01:39:54,544 --> 01:39:56,579
possible is can I within what

2998
01:39:56,579 --> 01:39:58,881
is allowed, uh, of the rest of

2999
01:39:58,881 --> 01:40:00,217
the islands.

3000
01:40:00,217 --> 01:40:00,984
That sounds about right.

3001
01:40:00,984 --> 01:40:02,984
Okay.

3002
01:40:04,530 --> 01:40:06,790
And, uh, to investigate the

3003
01:40:06,790 --> 01:40:09,790
ability to negotiate with waste

3004
01:40:09,793 --> 01:40:12,295
management and, uh, the permits

3005
01:40:12,295 --> 01:40:13,496
for, for future building. Is

3006
01:40:13,496 --> 01:40:15,765
that is that correct?

3007
01:40:15,765 --> 01:40:18,334
Yeah, that worked for me.

3008
01:40:18,334 --> 01:40:19,670
Anything else?

3009
01:40:19,670 --> 01:40:20,236
I think you got the big items

3010
01:40:20,236 --> 01:40:22,236

have a call for the vote.

3015
01:40:51,934 --> 01:40:53,836
The vote passes unanimously.

3016
01:40:53,836 --> 01:40:55,439
Okay. Uh, there is no appeal

3017
01:40:55,439 --> 01:40:57,107
