We're now going to public hearing 410 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:46,800 into our public hearing and I'll hand us off to Deputy City Manager, Community Development 411 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:51,740 Director Lee for a staff report. Yes, Mr. Mayor, members of the council. Tonight's presentation is 412 00:39:51,740 --> 00:39:54,420 going to be made by our planning consultant, Nancy Fong. 413 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,740 Good evening, Mr. Mayor, members of the City 414 00:40:30,740 --> 00:40:37,040 County Council. Tonight we have a public hearing to consider the adoption of the new and 415 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:43,440 improved zoning code. As the City Council recalled, you had held a study session to review 416 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:50,840 the new draft zoning code, so I won't go into it to detail. Next slide please. 417 00:40:54,300 --> 00:41:00,080 So during the zoning code update process, you know, the Plan Commission have conducted 418 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:07,940 the 6th study session between May 2025 and March 2026, and as you recall, the City Council 419 00:41:07,940 --> 00:41:13,780 also held a study session on July. And on August 25, the Planning Commission reviewed 420 00:41:13,780 --> 00:41:18,780 the draft zoning code at a public hearing and did not make any changes. And the Planning 421 00:41:18,780 --> 00:41:24,280 Commission made the recommendation to the City Council to approve the zoning code, amendment, 422 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:28,620 the zone change and the related general plan amendment amendment and issue a 423 00:41:28,620 --> 00:41:34,520 sequel exemption and they have not been any changes since the planning commission 424 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:39,580 have reviewed the draft zoning code. So unless the City Council wants to go over 425 00:41:39,580 --> 00:41:44,600 again similar to the slides we have in the study session, we would just next 426 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:50,380 slide please. We would just staff would just recommend that the City Council adopt 427 00:41:50,380 --> 00:42:07,280 On behalf ordinance 20606 approving the zoning code amendment ordinance 20607 approving the zone change and the resolution 2026-103 approving the general plan amendment and then issue a secret exemption and that concludes my presentation. 428 00:42:07,740 --> 00:42:18,800 Thank you Nancy. Any questions from the council? No questions? We're not opening up for public comment. Madam City clerk, anyone wishing to speak in person on this matter? 429 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,620 Yes, we have one speaker. 430 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:23,560 Two speakers. 431 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:24,560 Let's go. 432 00:42:24,740 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker number one. 433 00:42:38,350 --> 00:42:48,910 A full year at the expense of the taxpayers of Covena to do a study under ordinance 2606. 434 00:42:49,630 --> 00:42:50,450 Interesting, right? 435 00:42:52,690 --> 00:42:57,510 So viewpoint discrimination is how I'll take it. 436 00:42:59,010 --> 00:43:05,630 Because once again, you heard regarding the approving of zone change, or if it changed, 437 00:43:05,970 --> 00:43:07,570 quitely didn't change at all. 438 00:43:08,350 --> 00:43:16,350 Didn't change at all folks, but you reckless, dumb, insensitive, incompetent, incoherent 439 00:43:16,350 --> 00:43:19,210 taxpayers love to pay for this stuff. 440 00:43:19,530 --> 00:43:19,690 Why? 441 00:43:20,710 --> 00:43:25,650 Why do we pay for studies if the study is not going to improve the quality? 442 00:43:26,850 --> 00:43:36,890 the quality of our community, where's the weight in balance? Shall I pull out of my checkbook 443 00:43:37,210 --> 00:43:43,550 and write a blank check? Thank you for wasting taxpayers' dollars on your ordinance 26-06 444 00:43:45,610 --> 00:43:56,290 from 2025 to 20-26. Am I on topic, Mr. Attorney? Clarify that, please. No answer? Good. Keep 445 00:43:56,290 --> 00:44:06,690 it that way. Now, if we have a strategy, folks, the strategy should be listened to the taxpayers 446 00:44:06,690 --> 00:44:16,550 of Kovina. Listen to the public testimony. See, I'm not a resident here in this shitty town. 447 00:44:17,490 --> 00:44:22,090 I come from another shitty town similar to Kovina. 448 00:44:24,250 --> 00:44:26,350 Just right up the hill where the fire started 449 00:44:26,350 --> 00:44:36,390 it yesterday, Brea, two to three beautiful homes burned back there, too bad. Maybe if we 450 00:44:36,390 --> 00:44:42,550 had a approved zoning change, we could have fixed that problem, put in new irrigation, 451 00:44:42,810 --> 00:44:48,810 put in drought tolerant plants to prevent the extent of what fire does to our community, 452 00:44:48,970 --> 00:44:56,510 right? Right, Mr. Mayor? I've ever been burned, neither have I. I don't ever want to be burned, 453 00:44:56,510 --> 00:44:59,550 But I figured out based on my 454 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:27,520 Hypothetical intellectual intelligence that one day you and I are going to end up in hell. And we're going to burn. Because God came to me in a message. And told me son, when it comes to the zoning change, don't listen to anybody in Covena. Explain it to the public that when they don't participate when they don't come in here and contest the ordinance under 26.06. 455 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:37,100 six. Then just remember the words of God. God hates you and you got fucked. Any other 456 00:45:37,100 --> 00:45:41,440 speakers, Madam City Clerk? Yes, speaker number two. 457 00:45:42,060 --> 00:45:42,220 Right. 458 00:45:47,820 --> 00:45:48,360 Happy Thanksgiving. 459 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:57,780 I have to acknowledge that I'm not really smart enough for this item 460 00:45:57,780 --> 00:46:01,820 because I want to publicly ask our mayor, 461 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,840 Oga, our council member Oga, that from two minutes 462 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:11,900 of the presentation, what did you get out of that two minutes 463 00:46:11,900 --> 00:46:16,340 that makes you to make a intellectual decision? 464 00:46:17,720 --> 00:46:22,800 I'm, again, I'm not saying anything, 465 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:27,000 I acknowledge the fact that I was born retarded, 466 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:33,840 I was born with tuberculosis, I admit it, but it's really impossible, it's 467 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:38,860 mission impossible for a member of the public to make a comment based on a two 468 00:46:38,860 --> 00:46:44,760 minutes presentation. And I want to challenge every single council member, I want 469 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:49,700 to challenge every single mayor right there that somehow with two minutes of 470 00:46:49,700 --> 00:46:56,840 information and somehow you can just make a smart decision on behalf of the 471 00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:03,000 city of Covina, I do not understand how smart you are. 472 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:12,900 I don't know that, how does your brain process different than any other kind of a homo-cipian, 473 00:47:13,380 --> 00:47:20,960 but as of me, as a member of the public, compared to my go-to city of industry. 474 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:28,640 For example, when I go to the city of West Covina, for example, when I go to the city of Pasadena, 475 00:47:31,140 --> 00:47:37,900 whenever there's a hearing item and then they ask the member of the public to comment on a specific hearing item, 476 00:47:38,460 --> 00:47:46,160 the typical presentation is somewhere between 20 minutes and sometimes during the very, very important, for example, 477 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:53,200 the vlog camera hearing item that a presentation alone is more than one hour and a half. But the 478 00:47:53,200 --> 00:48:01,380 Kovina just has a two minutes presentation with two minutes information other than if we exclude 479 00:48:01,380 --> 00:48:08,620 reading the script that was showing on the picture. That means zero new information was presented. 480 00:48:08,620 --> 00:48:13,180 So in this case, I am not a Tom Cruise. 481 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:18,720 I cannot pull a special mission impossible out of this console meeting. 482 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:23,080 I am unable to do much about it. 483 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:31,940 I actually want to suggest or comment our honorable mayor, Olga, that in the future, 484 00:48:31,940 --> 00:48:40,280 However, if you really truly welcome public input, I would have advocated that you provide 485 00:48:40,940 --> 00:48:46,320 better information, better presentation, other than two minutes of a script reading. 486 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,640 Thank you very much, Council Member Alga. 487 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:51,620 Madam Chair, clerk, any other speakers? 488 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:53,720 There are no more speakers. 489 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,420 Anyone wishing to speak on this matter remotely? 490 00:48:56,900 --> 00:48:58,160 There are no remote public comments. 491 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,720 All right, we're not close to public hearing any discussion from the council 492 00:49:02,980 --> 00:49:08,880 Item no here in no discussion.

562 00:54:30,910 --> 00:54:50,500 You know what your tax says look like the following year how much are they going to charge you per square foot on those taxes is anyone know and then you lose your four foot setback or do you gain a four foot setback do we know well I know but 563 00:54:52,070 --> 00:55:03,430 regardless of what I know who fucking cares right because the problem is this 1000 to 1.2 square footage of add on to our home 564 00:55:03,430 --> 00:55:11,010 just means that we're going to add to the city a payment for more taxes that we 565 00:55:11,010 --> 00:55:16,690 don't deserve. Let me give you now a scenario or a hypothetical point of view 566 00:55:16,690 --> 00:55:22,030 of an ADU. Some jackass off of Halleburton, Hossie and the Heights started a 567 00:55:22,030 --> 00:55:27,730 two-story ADU. Well the dumb mother fucker got to permit but the dumb mother fucker 568 00:55:27,730 --> 00:55:34,610 didn't have the money to finish the ADU. So now we have a structure, blight, a structure 569 00:55:35,170 --> 00:55:49,440 ADU standing like a toothpick house ready to get burned. Why is that? Why can't the Department 570 00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:55,900 of Building Safety step in and says, hey, you dumb cock suckers? You ask for an ADU. Now 571 00:55:55,900 --> 00:56:02,380 Now you don't have the money, now you want to play games, fuck you, tear it down, tear 572 00:56:02,380 --> 00:56:10,720 the mother fuck her down, turn the bitch over and drop your permit because you're fucking 573 00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:16,960 up the neighbor, you're fucking up our community, you're creating blight and you're allowing 574 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:28,800 this shit under your ordinance 2607 because again we have an incompetent immoral mandates by a 575 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:37,800 governor and your fucking legislators that are stupid from Sacramento and stupid lawbreakers who 576 00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:46,700 make up the laws to break them themselves. Now if I was like Jose Luis Wiesar and decided to 577 00:56:46,700 --> 00:56:53,820 be a criminal under corruption, I'd follow your fucking rules, which is cheap, lie, and 578 00:56:53,820 --> 00:57:01,640 still from the public. So at this point, 42 AC 1983 politely ball the fuck this item. 579 00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:06,820 Next speaker. I'm City Clerk. Speaker number two. 580 00:57:12,550 --> 00:57:19,170 Happy, happy, happy to talk about the ADUs, one of my favorite items. 581 00:57:21,150 --> 00:57:26,710 I heard some very, very contradictory statements from our council members. 582 00:57:27,890 --> 00:57:33,930 First, I remember our council members stated California housing laws. 583 00:57:33,930 --> 00:57:40,310 They are some sort of a city destroyer. They use very, very strong serious words. 584 00:57:40,870 --> 00:57:49,750 Those are very, very serious allegations. But at the same time, when I take a look at every single council member's biography, 585 00:57:49,750 --> 00:57:53,050 what did you do for homeless but nothing much. 586 00:57:53,650 --> 00:57:58,330 But since we have this ABU law and I have a new proposal 587 00:57:58,330 --> 00:57:59,670 for our council member. 588 00:57:59,950 --> 00:58:04,090 Since our council member unanimously reject, 589 00:58:04,710 --> 00:58:06,690 you know, building a five-story apartment, 590 00:58:07,150 --> 00:58:10,970 nobody wanted, all of council member wants to keep their, 591 00:58:11,090 --> 00:58:15,430 you know, huge mention, nobody wants affordable housing, 592 00:58:15,630 --> 00:58:19,310 nobody want a six-story apartment like in downtown LA 593 00:58:19,310 --> 00:58:24,450 or Hollywood, then we can stop talking about that idea, 594 00:58:24,450 --> 00:58:27,950 and then we can switch to the idea of the ADU. 595 00:58:28,390 --> 00:58:32,510 And then my proposal is that I wish our council member 596 00:58:32,510 --> 00:58:37,270 city elected official that let's call it adopt 597 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:39,570 a homeless initiative. 598 00:58:40,150 --> 00:58:42,710 And then what I mean by that, since every single 599 00:58:42,710 --> 00:58:45,290 of our council member has a big house, 600 00:58:45,710 --> 00:58:48,150 since every single council member has enough space 601 00:58:48,150 --> 00:58:54,870 to build an ADU and since every single council member are saying that homeless housing affordable housing 602 00:58:54,870 --> 00:59:03,290 Those are they are destroying our city. We don't want it. Then let's just say that every single council member 603 00:59:03,290 --> 00:59:10,030 Adopped a homeless person into their backyard aka their ADU units 604 00:59:10,030 --> 00:59:13,030 I think that is a perfect plan that way 605 00:59:13,030 --> 00:59:16,530 We don't have to fight about affordable housing. 606 00:59:16,830 --> 00:59:19,530 We don't have to fight about so-called, 607 00:59:19,530 --> 00:59:21,870 you call it a city destroyer. 608 00:59:22,330 --> 00:59:25,370 And then that way, you are doing your part 609 00:59:25,370 --> 00:59:29,730 of helping addressing the homeless crisis. 610 00:59:30,050 --> 00:59:34,090 You are helping addressing the affordable housing crisis. 611 00:59:34,550 --> 00:59:37,970 And I think that is a perfect plan 612 00:59:37,970 --> 00:59:40,850 that we kill two birds with one stone. 613 00:59:40,850 --> 00:59:46,410 So that is our proposal. Before I hear this presentation, I was like, oh, okay, 614 00:59:46,570 --> 00:59:50,930 Kavina, we don't have such law. But right now I understand we do have those 615 00:59:50,930 --> 00:59:56,470 existing law. We do have those existing ADU regulation. So there should be no 616 00:59:56,470 --> 00:59:59,490 excuse for your inaction. 617 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:28,260 Regarding this. So I don't know what do you think, but I proposed affordable housing. You say no. I proposed, you know, apartment building. You say no. So this is now I'm proposing an ADU. Hopefully, I don't know. How many speakers remotely, Madam City clerk? No, there isn't. All right. Any other speakers here in person? No. All right.

So I invite every white 674 01:05:36,350 --> 01:05:43,630 niggered to in kovina or in california to attend the federal hearing of david old carter 675 01:05:43,630 --> 01:05:51,910 verses the city of los angeles and the los angeles county of hilda alceles the dumb bitch 676 01:05:52,830 --> 01:06:01,450 september 22nd she failed to shop to court now she's like that dumb carrot black woman bass who 677 01:06:01,450 --> 01:06:08,430 says, I'm not going to go before Congress and talk about my stealing and my colleague 678 01:06:08,430 --> 01:06:15,270 stealing. That's what we just do. We're politicians. That's all we have to do is not 679 01:06:15,270 --> 01:06:22,570 tell the truth and fuck the residents, fuck the taxpayers, but no. Fuck you, Gavin Newscombe, 680 01:06:22,830 --> 01:06:25,270 and fuck you, Hilda Salise. Thank you. 681 01:06:25,270 --> 01:06:26,170 Okay, 682 01:06:28,860 --> 01:06:30,360 next speaker, speaker number two. 683 01:06:35,130 --> 01:06:46,030 I think this item fails to address that disabled seniors limited income issues, well, it 684 01:06:46,030 --> 01:06:52,090 is typical because every time our council member Oga comes out of something, I always believe 685 01:06:52,090 --> 01:06:53,910 that she forgot about something. 686 01:06:53,910 --> 01:07:02,410 So, they are certain seniors and then they are homeowners and then they are disabled. 687 01:07:02,810 --> 01:07:14,050 They cannot go to work and then in certain instances their main stream of income is to rent 688 01:07:14,370 --> 01:07:23,050 part of their house and then somehow we are extending this moratorium for another 689 01:07:23,050 --> 01:07:32,810 year, I feel that will have some devastating effect to those people. And I don't 690 01:07:32,810 --> 01:07:40,390 know if our council member, if our mayor, Olga, have a plan to address that. You 691 01:07:40,390 --> 01:07:45,270 know, if you have a stimulus check to, you know, to those people, then never mind. 692 01:07:45,430 --> 01:07:50,810 I pack off right now. Goodbye. Have a nice day. See you next week. But I don't 693 01:07:50,810 --> 01:08:01,070 believe you have a plan. In the second of all, I believe that this ordinance is a borderline 694 01:08:01,070 --> 01:08:09,390 useless, similar to the prohibition era, you know, when you are trying to ban alcohol, 695 01:08:09,910 --> 01:08:16,270 you have the ordinance, you have the law, but I guess what? For anyone, well, maybe our council 696 01:08:16,270 --> 01:08:19,010 to remember Olga failed the high school history. 697 01:08:19,250 --> 01:08:23,350 But anyone who has basic American history education, 698 01:08:23,450 --> 01:08:24,950 you will understand the certain laws. 699 01:08:24,950 --> 01:08:28,430 They are just impossible to enforce. 700 01:08:29,890 --> 01:08:33,250 And then, just like using myself as an example, 701 01:08:33,910 --> 01:08:38,410 I have constantly escaped from the Kovina police 702 01:08:38,410 --> 01:08:41,890 because I rent illegal parking. 703 01:08:42,230 --> 01:08:43,450 Or was I called parking garage? 704 01:08:43,450 --> 01:09:13,430 sometimes I live in someone's living room, someone's I live somewhere that I'm not allowed to live, sometimes I cannot afford to have a apartment rental contract, I have to do something like subletting, so I have to do all of those things just trying to survive, not because I'm trying to break the law, I'm trying to become a criminal, but sometimes it just certain laws make people like me make people 705 01:09:13,430 --> 01:09:16,750 other population is impossible to survive. 706 01:09:17,730 --> 01:09:22,890 So, I mean, you have the ordinance, I just want to tell, say that, you know, our 707 01:09:22,890 --> 01:09:25,830 Covina Police Department, good luck enforcing it. 708 01:09:26,470 --> 01:09:31,210 And I don't know how many people are there in the Covina Department and how are you able 709 01:09:31,210 --> 01:09:32,150 to enforce it. 710 01:09:32,450 --> 01:09:36,270 But if this is something you created, I guess you are ready to work. 711 01:09:36,850 --> 01:09:39,650 And I'm sure it clerk, anyone wishing to speak on this matter remotely? 712 01:09:40,270 --> 01:09:40,470 No. 713 01:09:40,970 --> 01:09:45,510 Thank you and now close the public hearing in a discussion from the council. 714 01:09:46,130 --> 01:09:47,090 Move for approval. 715 01:09:47,810 --> 01:09:48,430 Thank you. 716 01:09:48,570 --> 01:09:49,330 Councilmember Allen. 717 01:09:49,490 --> 01:09:49,970 Is there a second? 718 01:09:50,970 --> 01:09:51,510 I'll second. 719 01:09:52,030 --> 01:09:53,010 Second by Allen. 720 01:09:53,250 --> 01:09:57,430 We have a first, by Councilmember Allen, a second, by Councilmember Allen. 721 01:09:58,010 --> 01:10:00,530 Madam City Clerk, would you please conduct a roll call. 722 01:10:00,910 --> 01:10:01,870 Councilmember Lunaris. 723 01:10:02,330 --> 01:10:02,510 Aye. 724 01:10:02,750 --> 01:10:03,610 Councilmember Allen. 725 01:10:04,150 --> 01:10:04,450 Aye. 726 01:10:04,890 --> 01:10:05,590 Councilmember Allen. 727 01:10:06,270 --> 01:10:06,510 Yes. 728 01:10:06,710 --> 01:10:07,830 Mayor Pro Tem Cortez. 729 01:10:08,290 --> 01:10:08,490 Yes. 730 01:10:08,770 --> 01:10:09,450 Mayor Dogado. 731 01:10:09,450 --> 01:10:15,990 Yes, and with that ladies and gentlemen, we will adjourn tonight's meeting in honor and in memory of Rick Walzak senior. 732 01:10:16,270 --> 01:10:17,730 Thank you for coming this evening.
