00:04:33,806 --> 00:04:38,010
first one is a

68
00:04:38,010 --> 00:04:39,479

plan for 2022, 2023 fiscal

73
00:04:58,297 --> 00:05:04,404
year, and how it relates to the

74
00:05:04,404 --> 00:05:06,639
comprehensive plan. Whatever

75
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:07,239
you say or I'm going to go

76
00:05:07,239 --> 00:05:19,085
ahead. Alright.

77
00:05:19,085 --> 00:05:24,557
our capital budget. So, What

78
00:05:24,557 --> 00:05:27,026
I'm going to do is talk about

79
00:05:27,026 --> 00:05:34,033
fiscal year 23 and again, this

80
00:05:34,033 --> 00:05:37,603
is just proposed. This is not

81
00:05:37,603 --> 00:05:43,009
going to council yet. I'll go

82
00:05:43,009 --> 00:05:45,211
over that with you and then,

83
00:05:45,211 --> 00:05:48,881
I'm going to turn it over to

84
00:05:48,881 --> 00:05:56,055
Shay so that he can speak about

85
00:05:56,055 --> 00:06:00,092
how some of the things that we

86
00:06:00,092 --> 00:06:05,664
are proposing relates to our

87
00:06:05,664 --> 00:06:06,298
comprehensive claim. You think

88
00:06:06,298 --> 00:06:07,032
it would be okay if I took this

89
00:06:07,032 --> 00:06:16,142
off to speak here? Okay

90
00:06:16,142 --> 00:06:19,479
fire station.

91
00:06:19,479 --> 00:06:23,949
So, the debt service, annual

92
00:06:23,949 --> 00:06:28,020
debt service for the Public

93
00:06:28,020 --> 00:06:33,726
Safety Building is a

94
00:06:33,726 --> 00:06:34,226
hundred and seventy-six

95
00:06:34,226 --> 00:06:35,761
thousand three hundred

96
00:06:35,761 --> 00:06:42,468
seventy-six dollars.

97
00:06:42,468 --> 00:06:46,305
The debt service on the parking

98
00:06:46,305 --> 00:06:56,082
garage on I should say that one goes through December

99
00:06:56,082 --> 00:06:59,418
of twenty thirty-three. I I I'm

100
00:06:59,418 --> 00:07:03,055
I I don't want to give a date

101
00:07:03,055 --> 00:07:07,859
but I but it is it is coming

102
00:07:07,859 --> 00:07:11,230
soon. So, we will have a grand

103
00:07:11,230 --> 00:07:16,001
opening when we move into the

104
00:07:16,001 --> 00:07:21,574
new fire station.

105
00:07:21,574 --> 00:07:26,012
So, what we do in the process,

106
00:07:26,012 --> 00:07:29,781
the finance director and I, we

107
00:07:29,781 --> 00:07:33,552
go and meet with all of the

108
00:07:33,552 --> 00:07:38,857
department heads. We review

109
00:07:38,857 --> 00:07:42,861
what they're requesting for the

110
00:07:42,861 --> 00:07:48,067
year and then, normally,

111
00:07:48,067 --> 00:07:53,873
there's a series of discussions

112
00:07:53,873 --> 00:08:02,248
and cuts because we just can't

113
00:08:02,248 --> 00:08:04,516
find all the things that we

114
00:08:04,516 --> 00:08:08,087
would like to fund in anyone

115
00:08:08,087 --> 00:08:10,422
fiscal year. So, for co

116
00:08:10,422 --> 00:08:11,056
department. We have a request

117
00:08:11,056 --> 00:08:11,657
for vehicle and computers and

118
00:08:11,657 --> 00:08:12,324
software that total thirty-two

119
00:08:12,324 --> 00:08:12,991
thousand five hundred dollars.

120
00:08:12,991 --> 00:08:13,659
The planning department, I will

121
00:08:13,659 --> 00:08:14,193
note that the planning

122
00:08:14,193 --> 00:08:14,993
department requests and later

123
00:08:14,993 --> 00:08:20,599
on, the parks request are some

124
00:08:20,599 --> 00:08:28,741
of the items that really really

125
00:08:28,741 --> 00:08:31,376
tie into our comprehensive

126
00:08:31,376 --> 00:08:35,181
plan.

127
00:08:35,181 --> 00:08:38,583
So, the planning department, we

128
00:08:38,583 --> 00:08:42,287
have Downtown Beautification at

129
00:08:42,287 --> 00:08:49,961
twenty 000 city entryway at

130
00:08:49,961 --> 00:08:52,164
twenty 000 and some weight

131
00:08:52,164 --> 00:08:52,664
finding signage for the

132
00:08:52,664 --> 00:08:53,365
community at 5, 000. That total

133
00:08:53,365 --> 00:08:53,899
4-five, 000 dollars. At

134
00:08:53,899 --> 00:08:54,566
4thousand five hundred and city

135
00:08:54,566 --> 00:08:55,267
hall computer server at 30000.

136
00:08:55,267 --> 00:08:55,801
Those total, one hundred

137
00:08:55,801 --> 00:08:58,270
ninety-nine thousand

138
00:08:58,270 --> 00:09:04,276
five 00 for city

139
00:09:04,276 --> 00:09:07,847
hall.

140
00:09:07,847 --> 00:09:09,548
For the police department,

141
00:09:09,548 --> 00:09:14,820
we're looking at cruisers, four

142
00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:20,425
of them,

143
00:09:20,425 --> 00:09:24,864
I will note that we are still

144
00:09:24,864 --> 00:09:30,336
having difficulties getting

145
00:09:30,336 --> 00:09:34,973
vehicles in. So, what has

146
00:09:34,973 --> 00:09:39,377
happened is we're looking at

147
00:09:39,377 --> 00:09:43,348
what we didn't get in prior

148
00:09:43,348 --> 00:09:49,255
physical years and having to

149
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:53,826
carry this over. And I told

150
00:09:53,826 --> 00:09:54,460
we're going to get to a point

151
00:09:54,460 --> 00:09:55,094
we're going to have to have

152
00:09:55,094 --> 00:09:56,362
eight in one year. So we're hoping to avoid that. But

153
00:09:56,362 --> 00:09:57,062
we do still have some cruisers

154
00:09:57,062 --> 00:09:57,730
that we just we can't get the

155
00:09:57,730 --> 00:09:58,430
vehicles. We just have the same

156
00:09:58,430 --> 00:09:59,098
situation in public works with

157
00:09:59,098 --> 00:09:59,698
some of our trucks. The the

158
00:09:59,698 --> 00:10:03,102
crew groups they were already

159
00:10:03,102 --> 00:10:07,472
approved for prior years. Is

160
00:10:07,472 --> 00:10:11,143
that money also carry over?

161
00:10:11,143 --> 00:10:15,080
Yeah we gotta carry that over

162
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:23,655
especially if we feel somewhat

163
00:10:23,655 --> 00:10:27,225
confident that the order is

164
00:10:27,225 --> 00:10:32,765
going to be fulfilled. Um we

165
00:10:32,765 --> 00:10:36,334
will actually encumber that and

166
00:10:36,334 --> 00:10:36,902
say okay Right. We don't

167
00:10:36,902 --> 00:10:37,536
want to we don't want to do

168
00:10:37,536 --> 00:10:38,170
that. We want to try to avoid

169
00:10:38,170 --> 00:10:38,837
that but I, you know, it it's

170
00:10:38,837 --> 00:10:39,504
kind of scary when you see that

171
00:10:39,504 --> 00:10:40,105
they just keep saying, you

172
00:10:40,105 --> 00:10:40,772
know, 12 months, 18 months Um

173
00:10:40,772 --> 00:10:41,439
so, it's it's really difficult

174
00:10:41,439 --> 00:10:42,073
for us. So, the four cruisers,

175
00:10:42,073 --> 00:10:42,674
about 45, 000 piece at 1 80,

176
00:10:42,674 --> 00:10:43,375
000. We need radar units, three

177
00:10:43,375 --> 00:10:44,009
thousand, 13 new PCs,

178
00:10:44,009 --> 00:10:47,146
eleven thousand seven hundred

179
00:10:47,146 --> 00:10:55,454
You're going to see a lot of

180
00:10:55,454 --> 00:10:59,492
computers

181
00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:03,829
and I will say over the years,

182
00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:06,098
we haven't done that great of a

183
00:11:06,098 --> 00:11:06,732
job. Uh budgeting, you know,

184
00:11:06,732 --> 00:11:07,433
how many we need in each year.

185
00:11:07,433 --> 00:11:08,033
So, we're getting to a point

186
00:11:08,033 --> 00:11:08,734
now where so many of them don't

187
00:11:08,734 --> 00:11:09,334
have the upgrades that are

188
00:11:09,334 --> 00:11:10,035
needed and we're having to do a

189
00:11:10,035 --> 00:11:10,703
lot at once. Um we're going to

190
00:11:10,703 --> 00:11:14,907
still try to give it back on a

191
00:11:14,907 --> 00:11:23,182
more even situation where we're

192
00:11:23,182 --> 00:11:26,852
only getting maybe three or

193
00:11:26,852 --> 00:11:33,692
four for a department and not

194
00:11:33,692 --> 00:11:41,667
13 all at one time.

195
00:11:41,667 --> 00:11:44,136
But that's what we're looking

196
00:11:44,136 --> 00:11:48,440
at for this year for the police

197
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,376
department Three, best and

198
00:11:51,376 --> 00:11:51,943
carriers at $3000 dollars

199
00:11:51,943 --> 00:11:52,544
Refrigerator for the kitchen

200
00:11:52,544 --> 00:11:53,111
1500, and a place computer

201
00:11:53,111 --> 00:11:53,778
server at twenty thousand. So,

202
00:11:53,778 --> 00:11:54,479
this police items add up to two

203
00:11:54,479 --> 00:11:55,113
hundred nineteen thousand two

204
00:11:55,113 --> 00:11:55,780
hundred dollars So, in the fire

205
00:11:55,780 --> 00:11:56,414
department we're looking at a

206
00:11:56,414 --> 00:11:57,048
backup generator from Watson

207
00:11:57,048 --> 00:11:57,716
Station at sixty thousand Every

208
00:11:57,716 --> 00:11:58,383
year, you'll see replacement of

209
00:11:58,383 --> 00:11:58,984
fire hose and bumper gear.

210
00:11:58,984 --> 00:11:59,651
That's just something we have

211
00:11:59,651 --> 00:12:00,318
to do on a yearly basis. The

212
00:12:00,318 --> 00:12:00,919
fire hose is 7000 and the

213
00:12:00,919 --> 00:12:01,519
bumper gear is twenty-one

214
00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:02,187
thousand six hundred. We have

215
00:12:02,187 --> 00:12:02,754
rescue cribbing at three

216
00:12:02,754 --> 00:12:03,388
thousand and four new PCs at

217
00:12:03,388 --> 00:12:03,955
thirty-six In the streets

218
00:12:03,955 --> 00:12:04,556
department, we're looking at

219
00:12:04,556 --> 00:12:05,223
replacing three snowplow trucks

220
00:12:05,223 --> 00:12:08,027
at 150thousand

221
00:12:08,027 --> 00:12:14,533
A new loader at ninety,

222
00:12:14,533 --> 00:12:18,804
2 new spreaders at sixteen

223
00:12:18,804 --> 00:12:22,675
thousand,

224
00:12:22,675 --> 00:12:26,212
for a total of two hundred and

225
00:12:26,212 --> 00:12:31,016
000 in our streets department.

226
00:12:31,016 --> 00:12:31,684
The street lighting department,

227
00:12:31,684 --> 00:12:32,318
we want to replace streetlight

228
00:12:32,318 --> 00:12:32,985
poles on Rivercrest and Massey

229
00:12:32,985 --> 00:12:33,586
Boulevard. Those will total

230
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:34,253
thirteen five hundred dollars.

231
00:12:34,253 --> 00:12:41,627
The City Garage is looking at a

232
00:12:41,627 --> 00:12:50,169
ultrasonic tablet and advanced

233
00:12:50,169 --> 00:12:56,508
tool kit for them to use to

234
00:12:56,508 --> 00:13:03,082
assess the vehicles. At five

235
00:13:03,082 --> 00:13:06,351
thousand dollars.

236
00:13:06,351 --> 00:13:12,458
Then in the parks department,

237
00:13:12,458 --> 00:13:14,859
we're really trying to put some

238
00:13:14,859 --> 00:13:18,430
money towards parks because

239
00:13:18,430 --> 00:13:21,032
again, we believe that was an

240
00:13:21,032 --> 00:13:21,700
area that we were lacking in

241
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:22,300
funding and this council and

242
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:22,934
the council before have been

243
00:13:22,934 --> 00:13:23,601
very supportive of getting our

244
00:13:23,601 --> 00:13:24,302
parts back to where we need to

245
00:13:24,302 --> 00:13:24,936
be, having outdoor spaces for

246
00:13:24,936 --> 00:13:25,637
folks to go to and just making

247
00:13:25,637 --> 00:13:26,905
sure that we have upgrades and the facilities. So, you

248
00:13:26,905 --> 00:13:29,341
will see that we are spending a

249
00:13:29,341 --> 00:13:34,613
good bit or is that proposing

250
00:13:34,613 --> 00:13:38,817
the council spend some money in

251
00:13:38,817 --> 00:13:42,388
our parks?

252
00:13:42,388 --> 00:13:46,491
So, we're looking at Morris

253
00:13:46,491 --> 00:13:51,497
Park to repair the steps and

254
00:13:51,497 --> 00:13:55,501
railing which truly needs done

255
00:13:55,501 --> 00:13:56,068
at ten thousand dollars.

256
00:13:56,068 --> 00:13:56,735
Windmill Park, we have fencing

257
00:13:56,735 --> 00:13:57,369
around field two, at 7-five

258
00:13:57,369 --> 00:13:58,003
thousand a metal roof on the

259
00:13:58,003 --> 00:13:58,637
pavilion, and the restroom at

260
00:13:58,637 --> 00:13:59,271
eight thousand, Windmill Park

261
00:13:59,271 --> 00:13:59,905
playground equipment at five,

262
00:13:59,905 --> 00:14:00,539
and Windmill Park basketball

263
00:14:00,539 --> 00:14:01,240
court sports coding at 15, 000.

264
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,142
And I will note that that

265
00:14:03,142 --> 00:14:09,148
fifteen thousand does not

266
00:14:09,148 --> 00:14:14,753
completely cover the cost, but

267
00:14:14,753 --> 00:14:18,991
we've had some generous

268
00:14:18,991 --> 00:14:21,426
donators, and I don't have

269
00:14:21,426 --> 00:14:25,064
their names, but if you have

270
00:14:25,064 --> 00:14:27,332
that information, we do have

271
00:14:27,332 --> 00:14:28,000
some folks that donated for the

272
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:28,567
basketball courts, sports

273
00:14:28,567 --> 00:14:29,234
coding, and that will help us

274
00:14:29,234 --> 00:14:29,801
to bring that project to

275
00:14:29,801 --> 00:14:30,402
fruition. Morgantown Avenue

276
00:14:30,402 --> 00:14:31,069
Mini Park, we want to put a new

277
00:14:31,069 --> 00:14:31,770
sign there at five thousand and

278
00:14:31,770 --> 00:14:32,471
we need a back mid-size backhoe

279
00:14:32,471 --> 00:14:33,105
at sixty-five 000. So, that

280
00:14:33,105 --> 00:14:33,605
comes to a hundred and

281
00:14:33,605 --> 00:14:34,239
eighty-three thousand.

282
00:14:34,239 --> 00:14:37,675
And then we did put on here the

283
00:14:37,675 --> 00:14:40,345
parking fund which is again not

284
00:14:40,345 --> 00:14:45,384
our general fund capital fund

285
00:14:45,384 --> 00:14:48,220
but it's a separate fund. That

286
00:14:48,220 --> 00:14:52,291
the parking garage needs

287
00:14:52,291 --> 00:14:53,825
elevator replacement

288
00:14:53,825 --> 00:14:55,127
unfortunately. Forty-five

289
00:14:55,127 --> 00:14:55,761
thousand eight hundred dollars

290
00:14:55,761 --> 00:14:56,395
and also the entry pay station

291
00:14:56,395 --> 00:14:57,129
is in not in very good shape at

292
00:14:57,129 --> 00:14:57,663
all and we're looking at

293
00:14:57,663 --> 00:14:58,297
replacing that at fifty-three

294
00:14:58,297 --> 00:14:58,897
thousand dollars. So, that

295
00:14:58,897 --> 00:14:59,498
would total $98, 800 for the

296
00:14:59,498 --> 00:15:00,032
parking garage. For grand

297
00:15:00,032 --> 00:15:00,699
total, proposed. This will be

298
00:15:00,699 --> 00:15:04,336
your 23 capital project of 1

299
00:15:04,336 --> 00:15:08,673
million 6 13 thousand one

300
00:15:08,673 --> 00:15:09,307
hundred fifteen dollars So, you

301
00:15:09,307 --> 00:15:09,941
have the rest the other four

302
00:15:09,941 --> 00:15:10,575
years in your pocket. I'm not

303
00:15:10,575 --> 00:15:11,276
going to read through each item

304
00:15:11,276 --> 00:15:11,810
there. Again, these are

305
00:15:11,810 --> 00:15:12,377
proposed for future years

306
00:15:12,377 --> 00:15:12,978
Change significantly almost

307
00:15:12,978 --> 00:15:13,612
every year when we go back

308
00:15:13,612 --> 00:15:14,279
through or adding items for our

309
00:15:14,279 --> 00:15:14,913
New Year. We always look at

310
00:15:14,913 --> 00:15:16,381
those out years as well. And

311
00:15:16,381 --> 00:15:18,716
see what are what are the

312
00:15:18,716 --> 00:15:21,620
changes we need to make. Um but

313
00:15:21,620 --> 00:15:22,620
if you have any questions

314
00:15:22,620 --> 00:15:24,189
specifically on any of the

315
00:15:24,189 --> 00:15:25,958
items that I mentioned. I got

316
00:15:25,958 --> 00:15:27,592
you. Don't rush your comments.

317
00:15:27,592 --> 00:15:28,726
Um if you're part of another I

318
00:15:28,726 --> 00:15:29,427
think that they were looking at

319
00:15:29,427 --> 00:15:30,061
replacing their current rescue

320
00:15:30,061 --> 00:15:30,762
truck. Where are we on that? Is

321
00:15:30,762 --> 00:15:31,329
that the rescue truck has

322
00:15:31,329 --> 00:15:31,930
already been bordered. We're

323
00:15:31,930 --> 00:15:32,597
just waiting. Okay, so that's

324
00:15:32,597 --> 00:15:33,264
covered. Um. Yeah, that was, I

325
00:15:33,264 --> 00:15:33,965
think last fiscal year or maybe

326
00:15:33,965 --> 00:15:34,599
even the fiscal year before

327
00:15:34,599 --> 00:15:35,233
that. With any of the any of

328
00:15:35,233 --> 00:15:35,900
the departments, whether it's a

329
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:36,568
code or plan, or police fire,

330
00:15:36,568 --> 00:15:37,101
whatever. Are there some

331
00:15:37,101 --> 00:15:37,769
significantly needed items that

332
00:15:37,769 --> 00:15:38,436
Jeff didn't quite make the cut

333
00:15:38,436 --> 00:15:39,103
because there were things that

334
00:15:39,103 --> 00:15:39,804
were more needed but we really

335
00:15:39,804 --> 00:15:40,438
gotta do with them that we

336
00:15:40,438 --> 00:15:41,072
could pay for our top anything

337
00:15:41,072 --> 00:15:42,373
that I cut we discussed and we either just moved to the

338
00:15:42,373 --> 00:15:43,074
next year or we something like

339
00:15:43,074 --> 00:15:43,876
that. We just want to pray

340
00:15:43,876 --> 00:15:44,876
things that that we need to

341
00:15:44,876 --> 00:15:46,177
look at maybe covering some of

342
00:15:46,177 --> 00:15:49,448
the art of money. Um possibly,

343
00:15:49,448 --> 00:15:50,148
you have to be real careful

344
00:15:50,148 --> 00:15:52,084
about spending the arc of money

345
00:15:52,084 --> 00:15:53,485
on capital. They do have some

346
00:15:53,485 --> 00:15:54,887
new rules in the final rule

347
00:15:54,887 --> 00:15:57,555
that do allow more freedom in

348
00:15:57,555 --> 00:15:59,090
the capital expenditures but we

349
00:15:59,090 --> 00:16:00,525
still have to look at what the,

350
00:16:00,525 --> 00:16:01,460
you know, what those

351
00:16:01,460 --> 00:16:02,094
requirements would be. Then,

352
00:16:02,094 --> 00:16:03,962
the last comment I got, you had

353
00:16:03,962 --> 00:16:04,863
mentioned how long it takes to

354
00:16:04,863 --> 00:16:08,200
get police proof. A lot of

355
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,435
people know that that's not

356
00:16:09,435 --> 00:16:11,036
uncommon with anything. Uh

357
00:16:11,036 --> 00:16:13,472
myself, I've ordered two semi

358
00:16:13,472 --> 00:16:15,107
traps that I can't get for 11

359
00:16:15,107 --> 00:16:16,508
months. Right. I can't get at

360
00:16:16,508 --> 00:16:19,912
all.

361
00:16:19,912 --> 00:16:20,612
Through for band traders. Tried

362
00:16:20,612 --> 00:16:22,047
to order a half-million-dollar

363
00:16:22,047 --> 00:16:23,248
piece of equipment couple weeks

364
00:16:23,248 --> 00:16:25,049
ago. They said, yeah, you can

365
00:16:25,049 --> 00:16:28,052
get it in November Um and and I

366
00:16:28,052 --> 00:16:28,720
don't care if we're looking for

367
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,421
it. It it took me six weeks to

368
00:16:30,421 --> 00:16:32,090
get it started. Right. For for

369
00:16:32,090 --> 00:16:33,625
a big. Oh no, it is your grade.

370
00:16:33,625 --> 00:16:35,160
So. Just the. Okay. All that to

371
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,662
say this. Is there a thing? Are

372
00:16:36,662 --> 00:16:37,862
there things that we need to

373
00:16:37,862 --> 00:16:40,165
maybe start looking at? And

374
00:16:40,165 --> 00:16:41,967
maybe we need to order now.

375
00:16:41,967 --> 00:16:44,235
even though we thought we could

376
00:16:44,235 --> 00:16:45,938
get it we needed next year. And

377
00:16:45,938 --> 00:16:47,939
then in most cases, like with

378
00:16:47,939 --> 00:16:53,512
us, we ordered a Water 25, 000

379
00:16:53,512 --> 00:16:55,614
and we said, listen, we really

380
00:16:55,614 --> 00:16:58,483
don't want it till July and

381
00:16:58,483 --> 00:16:59,618
they started to revive

382
00:16:59,618 --> 00:17:01,253
September anyway but if it

383
00:17:01,253 --> 00:17:02,520
comes in earlier, there's so

384
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,822
many people wanting them. We

385
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,123
can say, hey, give em our spot

386
00:17:05,123 --> 00:17:06,658
and we'll take it, you know,

387
00:17:06,658 --> 00:17:09,027
then, maybe city can do that so

388
00:17:09,027 --> 00:17:11,429
that if we're looking at 14 of

389
00:17:11,429 --> 00:17:13,264
us to get something and it's

390
00:17:13,264 --> 00:17:14,666
dated 14 months, we get up when

391
00:17:14,666 --> 00:17:15,968
we want it in the right budget

392
00:17:15,968 --> 00:17:17,569
year but we had to order early.

393
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:21,073
The difficulty is in in the

394
00:17:21,073 --> 00:17:22,441
government spending, we're not

395
00:17:22,441 --> 00:17:24,309
allowed to order because that

396
00:17:24,309 --> 00:17:27,545
come becomes an encumbrance and

397
00:17:27,545 --> 00:17:28,981
we're not allowed that council

398
00:17:28,981 --> 00:17:31,783
is not allowed to do that for

399
00:17:31,783 --> 00:17:33,251
most items and capital to say

400
00:17:33,251 --> 00:17:34,353
that that's ordered now but

401
00:17:34,353 --> 00:17:35,687
we're not going to pay for it

402
00:17:35,687 --> 00:17:37,322
till fiscal year 24, 25. We're

403
00:17:37,322 --> 00:17:38,524
not allowed to do that. Okay.

404
00:17:38,524 --> 00:17:40,058
We can do certain things like

405
00:17:40,058 --> 00:17:41,659
debt service and bonds for

406
00:17:41,659 --> 00:17:43,695
certain requirements but not

407
00:17:43,695 --> 00:17:45,464
just for normal capital. Okay.

408
00:17:45,464 --> 00:17:46,831
But I hear exactly what you're

409
00:17:46,831 --> 00:17:49,334
saying And that's what we're

410
00:17:49,334 --> 00:17:51,503
struggling with, right?

411
00:17:51,503 --> 00:17:52,103
Commission Richardson. Yes.

412
00:17:52,103 --> 00:17:54,172
You're doing a lot of upgrading

413
00:17:54,172 --> 00:17:55,908
your auntie's department? Yes.

414
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:56,942
Are you staying with one

415
00:17:56,942 --> 00:18:00,111
company? I don't start mixing

416
00:18:00,111 --> 00:18:02,246
and matching because that's a

417
00:18:02,246 --> 00:18:03,548
mess. No, we're trying to be

418
00:18:03,548 --> 00:18:05,316
very consistent with who we're

419
00:18:05,316 --> 00:18:07,553
using and what we're using in a

420
00:18:07,553 --> 00:18:12,023
highly, our IT folks are very good at looking at all the

421
00:18:12,023 --> 00:18:14,459
options and then going with,

422
00:18:14,459 --> 00:18:15,961
you know, the one one or two

423
00:18:15,961 --> 00:18:17,161
bed, one or two different

424
00:18:17,161 --> 00:18:18,396
vendors that you. Yeah, because

425
00:18:18,396 --> 00:18:19,498
if we get a lot in, sometimes

426
00:18:19,498 --> 00:18:25,003
they don't

427
00:18:25,003 --> 00:18:27,439
You are very, you're absolutely

428
00:18:27,439 --> 00:18:32,477
right. Okay. So, yeah, we do, try to do that. Yes, sir.

429
00:18:32,477 --> 00:18:34,479
So, what's the status on the

430
00:18:34,479 --> 00:18:38,683
Norwood playground? Uh they got

431
00:18:38,683 --> 00:18:40,519
that big grant from you know.

432
00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:41,953
Yes, I think we're about a

433
00:18:41,953 --> 00:18:43,422
month. We're about a month away

434
00:18:43,422 --> 00:18:46,124
from design, 6 weeks from full

435
00:18:46,124 --> 00:18:47,458
design, would that be correct?

436
00:18:47,458 --> 00:18:48,660
That's correct. Very soon,

437
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:51,129
we'll have a somatic level

438
00:18:51,129 --> 00:18:51,829
design is what we call it in

439
00:18:51,829 --> 00:18:54,565
the profession and as well we

440
00:18:54,565 --> 00:18:55,968
are just wrapping up a few

441
00:18:55,968 --> 00:18:58,804
loose ends to make sure that we

442
00:18:58,804 --> 00:19:00,172
have all the areas secured and

443
00:19:00,172 --> 00:19:01,607
needed in order to accomplish

444
00:19:01,607 --> 00:19:04,943
the park as intended. Um and so

445
00:19:04,943 --> 00:19:06,545
we are still working with the

446
00:19:06,545 --> 00:19:08,012
NC to get that completed. So we

447
00:19:08,012 --> 00:19:09,347
should have large updates on

448
00:19:09,347 --> 00:19:10,749
that for the public very soon.

449
00:19:10,749 --> 00:19:12,283
And CEC is hard to work on the

450
00:19:12,283 --> 00:19:13,652
design process. But it's

451
00:19:13,652 --> 00:19:15,487
definitely a project that is

452
00:19:15,487 --> 00:19:17,688
moving forward. Yes. I'm very

453
00:19:17,688 --> 00:19:19,758
happy about that. Yeah. This is

454
00:19:19,758 --> 00:19:22,394
very exciting. Anything else on

455
00:19:22,394 --> 00:19:25,163
any of these items? I just like

456
00:19:25,163 --> 00:19:27,566
to add how happy I am to see

457
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:29,434
Windmill Park. I know it is

458
00:19:29,434 --> 00:19:31,670
very exciting. It is. It is.

459
00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:33,905
Great. So. Because you know,

460
00:19:33,905 --> 00:19:34,605
parks have always been special

461
00:19:34,605 --> 00:19:38,543
to me and you know, we we have

462
00:19:38,543 --> 00:19:40,979
a good bit of a nice part, you

463
00:19:40,979 --> 00:19:44,383
know, nice parks, nice space.

464
00:19:44,383 --> 00:19:46,118
but you know, you still have to

465
00:19:46,118 --> 00:19:47,519
maintain them. You have to make

466
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:49,754
sure that folks are going there

467
00:19:49,754 --> 00:19:51,089
and they've got equipment

468
00:19:51,089 --> 00:19:52,591
that's fun and and safe to play

469
00:19:52,591 --> 00:19:54,893
on and so we're really happy

470
00:19:54,893 --> 00:19:55,827
that council has been willing

471
00:19:55,827 --> 00:19:58,530
to put money towards this and I

472
00:19:58,530 --> 00:20:00,665
would imagine they will, you

473
00:20:00,665 --> 00:20:02,100
know, they may make some tweaks

474
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:03,702
but I would imagine that they

475
00:20:03,702 --> 00:20:06,037
will continue to do that. Cuz

476
00:20:06,037 --> 00:20:08,473
that was part of council's goal

477
00:20:08,473 --> 00:20:10,108
with their demolitions is the

478
00:20:10,108 --> 00:20:11,810
one, is there one company doing

479
00:20:11,810 --> 00:20:13,545
the complete all the

480
00:20:13,545 --> 00:20:14,613
demolitions of the city or did

481
00:20:14,613 --> 00:20:16,481
you have to get them out the

482
00:20:16,481 --> 00:20:17,416
different way? Well, right now,

483
00:20:17,416 --> 00:20:19,284
we do have one company that we

484
00:20:19,284 --> 00:20:22,821
did a bid and they have the

485
00:20:22,821 --> 00:20:24,756
twenty-four properties that

486
00:20:24,756 --> 00:20:27,159
they're currently working on.

487
00:20:27,159 --> 00:20:28,093
Whoever it is, they did a

488
00:20:28,093 --> 00:20:29,561
wonderful job before they now

489
00:20:29,561 --> 00:20:32,064
have to do their It is

490
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:32,731
reclaimed and they are doing a

491
00:20:32,731 --> 00:20:36,068
very good job. A lot better

492
00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:37,669
than Amazon knew the one I

493
00:20:37,669 --> 00:20:38,503
brought up to you that the the

494
00:20:38,503 --> 00:20:41,473
day without money. Right. And

495
00:20:41,473 --> 00:20:42,073
when he left it. Yeah, we

496
00:20:42,073 --> 00:20:43,641
want to make sure that it's a

497
00:20:43,641 --> 00:20:45,943
complete demolition. Uh they're

498
00:20:45,943 --> 00:20:47,412
not just walking away and

499
00:20:47,412 --> 00:20:49,314
leaving a mess. So, they're

500
00:20:49,314 --> 00:20:52,116
doing a very good job. Anything

501
00:20:52,116 --> 00:20:55,520
else? No questions. I'm

502
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,089
going to turn it over to you,

503
00:20:57,089 --> 00:20:57,723
Shay. Then, you can talk about

504
00:20:57,723 --> 00:20:59,424
how some of the specific

505
00:20:59,424 --> 00:21:01,493
projects do tie in with the

506
00:21:01,493 --> 00:21:03,328
comprehensive plan. Yes, thank

507
00:21:03,328 --> 00:21:06,130
you, Valerie. Okay, thank So,

508
00:21:06,130 --> 00:21:07,999
from the planning and

509
00:21:07,999 --> 00:21:08,800
development department's

510
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,936
perspective as the advisory

511
00:21:10,936 --> 00:21:12,270
staff, review all the paying

512
00:21:12,270 --> 00:21:16,007
commission Um just to summarize

513
00:21:16,007 --> 00:21:18,576
and to put in the context, of

514
00:21:18,576 --> 00:21:20,211
course, when bringing this up

515
00:21:20,211 --> 00:21:21,747
before you all, we're only

516
00:21:21,747 --> 00:21:22,514
talking about the capital

517
00:21:22,514 --> 00:21:24,215
budget. This does not include

518
00:21:24,215 --> 00:21:26,684
all the other budgets and the

519
00:21:26,684 --> 00:21:28,152
other financing options we have

520
00:21:28,152 --> 00:21:30,322
for our comprehensive plan

521
00:21:30,322 --> 00:21:32,123
projects which may include the

522
00:21:32,123 --> 00:21:33,991
general fund, the tip funds or

523
00:21:33,991 --> 00:21:35,993
grant funding that we may

524
00:21:35,993 --> 00:21:39,164
receive. So, our staff report

525
00:21:39,164 --> 00:21:40,465
and the information tonight,

526
00:21:40,465 --> 00:21:41,899
mostly pertaining just to the

527
00:21:41,899 --> 00:21:44,603
capital fund there. So, with

528
00:21:44,603 --> 00:21:47,071
that, this year, four of the 27

529
00:21:47,071 --> 00:21:48,740
goals from the comprehensive

530
00:21:48,740 --> 00:21:50,308
plan that were identified as

531
00:21:50,308 --> 00:21:52,344
needy, thankful capital funding

532
00:21:52,344 --> 00:21:54,112
are being funded. Those four

533
00:21:54,112 --> 00:21:55,881
goals are implementing the

534
00:21:55,881 --> 00:21:58,049
weight finding program,

535
00:21:58,049 --> 00:21:59,284
identifying new opportunities

536
00:21:59,284 --> 00:22:02,086
to expand public art which we

537
00:22:02,086 --> 00:22:03,254
consider part of the downtown

538
00:22:03,254 --> 00:22:04,089
beautification line

539
00:22:04,089 --> 00:22:06,090
essentially. The land taping

540
00:22:06,090 --> 00:22:08,293
along key corridors. Once

541
00:22:08,293 --> 00:22:10,061
again, downtown beautification

542
00:22:10,061 --> 00:22:12,063
budget and then they continue

543
00:22:12,063 --> 00:22:13,598
to improve city parks and

544
00:22:13,598 --> 00:22:16,001
recreation areas. I just

545
00:22:16,001 --> 00:22:16,968
want to talk about that last

546
00:22:16,968 --> 00:22:17,936
one there for a moment since

547
00:22:17,936 --> 00:22:20,037
that is that is receiving a

548
00:22:20,037 --> 00:22:21,406
substantial increase in

549
00:22:21,406 --> 00:22:23,307
funding. Um and I believe this

550
00:22:23,307 --> 00:22:25,943
is an example of where the

551
00:22:25,943 --> 00:22:27,946
leadership of the city is

552
00:22:27,946 --> 00:22:29,347
aiming for quality over

553
00:22:29,347 --> 00:22:32,050
quantity and we are definitely

554
00:22:32,050 --> 00:22:33,452
going to make some substantial

555
00:22:33,452 --> 00:22:34,086
improvements for our public

556
00:22:34,086 --> 00:22:35,220
parks that have been much

557
00:22:35,220 --> 00:22:38,423
needed for some time as the and

558
00:22:38,423 --> 00:22:39,991
the city manager have posted

559
00:22:39,991 --> 00:22:41,460
you all mentioned as well. So,

560
00:22:41,460 --> 00:22:43,661
we were very excited even to

561
00:22:43,661 --> 00:22:45,230
see the couple of the items

562
00:22:45,230 --> 00:22:45,997
maybe didn't make the list and

563
00:22:45,997 --> 00:22:47,899
we were quite okay with that

564
00:22:47,899 --> 00:22:49,434
because we are achieving

565
00:22:49,434 --> 00:22:51,836
quality goals at a very good

566
00:22:51,836 --> 00:22:53,104
level just like going forward

567
00:22:53,104 --> 00:22:55,707
with this proposed plan. One of

568
00:22:55,707 --> 00:22:57,608
the items that was removed was

569
00:22:57,608 --> 00:22:59,878
our rail trail funding but

570
00:22:59,878 --> 00:23:01,579
projected to return in the

571
00:23:01,579 --> 00:23:03,448
following year. That was

572
00:23:03,448 --> 00:23:04,182
previously funded. I think

573
00:23:04,182 --> 00:23:06,418
about 20 000 dollars but the

574
00:23:06,418 --> 00:23:09,454
planning exultant perspective,

575
00:23:09,454 --> 00:23:10,355
we're not concerned with that

576
00:23:10,355 --> 00:23:12,457
at this moment because we are

577
00:23:12,457 --> 00:23:13,925
intending to use the tax

578
00:23:13,925 --> 00:23:14,993
increment finance district

579
00:23:14,993 --> 00:23:17,596
funding for several aspects of

580
00:23:17,596 --> 00:23:19,364
that during this calendar year.

581
00:23:19,364 --> 00:23:21,599
So, we are not concerned if we

582
00:23:21,599 --> 00:23:24,569
don't have the $20, 000 and we

583
00:23:24,569 --> 00:23:26,037
think we're still going to get

584
00:23:26,037 --> 00:23:28,507
a lot done on those rail trail

585
00:23:28,507 --> 00:23:31,009
projects. Um so, we can see

586
00:23:31,009 --> 00:23:32,510
that here and if you look

587
00:23:32,510 --> 00:23:34,045
through the list, there's 27

588
00:23:34,045 --> 00:23:38,049
items and I think if We look to

589
00:23:38,049 --> 00:23:41,185
those. Some of these may not end up requiring any

590
00:23:41,185 --> 00:23:43,488
capital funding. once it's said

591
00:23:43,488 --> 00:23:44,589
and done. That's another thing

592
00:23:44,589 --> 00:23:45,991
to consider is not all these

593
00:23:45,991 --> 00:23:48,593
actually may or may not require

594
00:23:48,593 --> 00:23:51,796
funding in the end. And we are

595
00:23:51,796 --> 00:23:52,930
our departments continue to

596
00:23:52,930 --> 00:23:53,965
work to make substantial

597
00:23:53,965 --> 00:23:55,800
progress in completion on these

598
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,003
items. Um and to report that

599
00:23:58,003 --> 00:24:00,605
out to you all. Uh annually as

600
00:24:00,605 --> 00:24:01,273
we're going to discuss here at

601
00:24:01,273 --> 00:24:03,007
the end of meeting tonight. On

602
00:24:03,007 --> 00:24:05,076
a later agenda. So overall the

603
00:24:05,076 --> 00:24:07,445
staff does recommend the

604
00:24:07,445 --> 00:24:09,247
proposed capital improvement

605
00:24:09,247 --> 00:24:11,182
plan for the city of Fairmont

606
00:24:11,182 --> 00:24:12,951
and we find it more than

607
00:24:12,951 --> 00:24:14,051
sufficient to obtain our goals

608
00:24:14,051 --> 00:24:15,753
that city council has set forth

609
00:24:15,753 --> 00:24:16,954
for us and you all as well. And

610
00:24:16,954 --> 00:24:26,464
our comprehensive

611
00:24:26,464 --> 00:24:28,466
Is there anyone here who'd like

612
00:24:28,466 --> 00:24:30,568
to speak in favor of the

613
00:24:30,568 --> 00:24:35,473
capital improvements line

614
00:24:35,473 --> 00:24:38,076
They want to be like to speak

615
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:43,548
against the capital

616
00:24:43,548 --> 00:24:45,150
close the public hearing on

617
00:24:45,150 --> 00:24:46,551
that and didn't vote on this,

618
00:24:46,551 --> 00:24:49,955
correct?

619
00:24:49,955 --> 00:24:51,523
and there's a motion to approve

620
00:24:51,523 --> 00:24:54,025
the Capital Improvement Plan of

621
00:24:54,025 --> 00:24:58,997
recommendation to the council.

622
00:24:58,997 --> 00:25:01,633
Motion. Second. Second from

623
00:25:01,633 --> 00:25:04,002
Commission Yan. Uh Kirsten, if

624
00:25:04,002 --> 00:25:05,070
you take a roll call vote

625
00:25:05,070 --> 00:25:08,606
please. Commission Bledsoe?

626
00:25:08,606 --> 00:25:11,509
Yes. Commissioner Green? Yes.

627
00:25:11,509 --> 00:25:15,613
Commission Jura? Yes. Mister

628
00:25:15,613 --> 00:25:19,985
Magic Commission Richardson?

629
00:25:19,985 --> 00:25:21,987
Yes. Commission Strait? Yes.

630
00:25:21,987 --> 00:25:24,589
Commission Ween? Yes.

631
00:25:24,589 --> 00:25:28,360
Commission Yan? Yes. Right.

632
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:32,997
Yeah. Motion passes. Moving on,

633
00:25:32,997 --> 00:25:35,566
we have PC twenty-two zero one

634
00:25:35,566 --> 00:25:37,068
amending Article four

635
00:25:37,068 --> 00:25:38,436
pertaining to Article

636
00:25:38,436 --> 00:25:40,905
Organization, home occupations,

637
00:25:40,905 --> 00:25:42,440
multi-family residences,

638
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,075
restaurant, lounges, and retail

639
00:25:44,075 --> 00:25:45,810
and services manufactured

640
00:25:45,810 --> 00:25:50,015
homes.

641
00:25:50,015 --> 00:25:51,048
discussion about what's

642
00:25:51,048 --> 00:25:53,985
happening here. Yeah. So, in in

643
00:25:53,985 --> 00:25:55,453
summary, this is one of three

644
00:25:55,453 --> 00:25:58,089
proposed text amendments to the

645
00:25:58,089 --> 00:25:59,624
zoning code. We decided to

646
00:25:59,624 --> 00:26:01,926
start out the calendar year

647
00:26:01,926 --> 00:26:04,829
with one that has been out

648
00:26:04,829 --> 00:26:07,032
substantial interest to our

649
00:26:07,032 --> 00:26:07,699
citizens over the last couple

650
00:26:07,699 --> 00:26:11,002
of years even before I was

651
00:26:11,002 --> 00:26:11,636
hired home for the city and I

652
00:26:11,636 --> 00:26:12,604
spent home occupations

653
00:26:12,604 --> 00:26:14,939
especially with the pandemic.

654
00:26:14,939 --> 00:26:15,706
Uh so, that's what the majority

655
00:26:15,706 --> 00:26:17,409
of us pertains to but in

656
00:26:17,409 --> 00:26:21,112
summary I'm going to skip over

657
00:26:21,112 --> 00:26:23,681
home occupation We're proposing

658
00:26:23,681 --> 00:26:26,017
to remove the multi-family

659
00:26:26,017 --> 00:26:26,717
residence use standards as

660
00:26:26,717 --> 00:26:28,653
those are now covered within

661
00:26:28,653 --> 00:26:29,921
the individual zoning district

662
00:26:29,921 --> 00:26:32,357
and these are duplicative or

663
00:26:32,357 --> 00:26:33,991
additional standards that no

664
00:26:33,991 --> 00:26:36,461
longer need to be applied to

665
00:26:36,461 --> 00:26:38,029
those types of uses. Uh thanks

666
00:26:38,029 --> 00:26:39,497
to the amendments that were

667
00:26:39,497 --> 00:26:42,600
passed earlier in 2021. We're

668
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,736
also proposing to do two things

669
00:26:44,736 --> 00:26:46,371
to restaurant lounges for

670
00:26:46,371 --> 00:26:48,473
proposing to retitle it to

671
00:26:48,473 --> 00:26:49,307
restaurant with alcohol sales.

672
00:26:49,307 --> 00:26:53,578
Leaving that maybe more obvious

673
00:26:53,578 --> 00:26:54,879
to folks reading the same code

674
00:26:54,879 --> 00:26:56,213
about what we're talking about

675
00:26:56,213 --> 00:26:59,149
there. Um as in our dialogue

676
00:26:59,149 --> 00:27:01,185
with our stakeholders, business

677
00:27:01,185 --> 00:27:02,587
owners, and citizens, we've

678
00:27:02,587 --> 00:27:04,055
seen restaurant now kind of

679
00:27:04,055 --> 00:27:05,457
generate some confusion about

680
00:27:05,457 --> 00:27:06,691
what that really means when

681
00:27:06,691 --> 00:27:07,926
they don't read the legal

682
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:10,528
definition of COVID. Um the

683
00:27:10,528 --> 00:27:11,963
other thing we're doing is

684
00:27:11,963 --> 00:27:14,566
restaurant lounges for some odd

685
00:27:14,566 --> 00:27:15,266
reason is currently regulated

686
00:27:15,266 --> 00:27:17,402
in two sections of youth

687
00:27:17,402 --> 00:27:18,569
standards, right? One right

688
00:27:18,569 --> 00:27:19,203
after the other and we're just

689
00:27:19,203 --> 00:27:22,440
going to merge the too. Um to

690
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:23,207
combine them into a single

691
00:27:23,207 --> 00:27:26,511
standard and then do some minor

692
00:27:26,511 --> 00:27:27,879
adjustments to those

693
00:27:27,879 --> 00:27:28,680
regulations in regards to

694
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,782
alcohol sales. But other than

695
00:27:30,782 --> 00:27:32,484
that is primarily staying the

696
00:27:32,484 --> 00:27:36,588
same. Then we're also proposing

697
00:27:36,588 --> 00:27:38,889
to replace one of the sections

698
00:27:38,889 --> 00:27:40,425
we just eliminated for

699
00:27:40,425 --> 00:27:42,560
restaurants down all sales. Uh

700
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:43,294
with a new huge standard

701
00:27:43,294 --> 00:27:44,862
section for manufactured home

702
00:27:44,862 --> 00:27:47,298
sales and services. This will

703
00:27:47,298 --> 00:27:48,833
simply require that there be

704
00:27:48,833 --> 00:27:51,436
upper yards for manufacture

705
00:27:51,436 --> 00:27:53,070
home sale. Um but when you put

706
00:27:53,070 --> 00:27:54,539
mobile homes and stuff on a

707
00:27:54,539 --> 00:27:56,674
large lot to sell those, you

708
00:27:56,674 --> 00:27:58,009
have to have nice buffer yard

709
00:27:58,009 --> 00:27:58,743
requirements around it so you

710
00:27:58,743 --> 00:28:00,478
don't negatively impact the

711
00:28:00,478 --> 00:28:01,145
adjacent properties. This is

712
00:28:01,145 --> 00:28:02,580
especially pertinent with these

713
00:28:02,580 --> 00:28:05,049
uses typically have very large

714
00:28:05,049 --> 00:28:07,485
gravel or asphalt covered lots

715
00:28:07,485 --> 00:28:09,920
and can tend to have skin 10

716
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:10,921
tend to have sport of water or

717
00:28:10,921 --> 00:28:12,857
other types of land maintenance

718
00:28:12,857 --> 00:28:14,124
issues that may impact adjacent

719
00:28:14,124 --> 00:28:16,561
property owners. So our

720
00:28:16,561 --> 00:28:17,161
findings, buffery yards, we

721
00:28:17,161 --> 00:28:18,329
intend to hopefully mitigate

722
00:28:18,329 --> 00:28:21,399
some of those potential

723
00:28:21,399 --> 00:28:23,935
nuisances to those of others

724
00:28:23,935 --> 00:28:25,203
Then, back to the bulk of it

725
00:28:25,203 --> 00:28:28,039
though. Uh we are proposing

726
00:28:28,039 --> 00:28:29,507
some substantial amendments to

727
00:28:29,507 --> 00:28:32,911
the whole occupation

728
00:28:32,911 --> 00:28:34,412
regulations. As they currently

729
00:28:34,412 --> 00:28:36,080
stand, we classify home

730
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,515
occupations into two

731
00:28:37,515 --> 00:28:41,018
categories. Minor and major. We

732
00:28:41,018 --> 00:28:43,021
also then limit home occupation

733
00:28:43,021 --> 00:28:45,456
based upon various general

734
00:28:45,456 --> 00:28:46,958
descriptions of a list of types

735
00:28:46,958 --> 00:28:48,193
of businesses and then it's up

736
00:28:48,193 --> 00:28:50,594
to myself as a zoning

737
00:28:50,594 --> 00:28:51,362
administrator to determine

738
00:28:51,362 --> 00:28:53,431
which of the two categories

739
00:28:53,431 --> 00:28:55,132
your proposed home business may

740
00:28:55,132 --> 00:28:56,601
fall into. Whether that minor

741
00:28:56,601 --> 00:28:58,503
or major. When it comes to

742
00:28:58,503 --> 00:29:00,538
actually where this is allowed

743
00:29:00,538 --> 00:29:02,173
currently. Minor is allowed

744
00:29:02,173 --> 00:29:03,407
everywhere that you can have a

745
00:29:03,407 --> 00:29:04,943
home. So as long as you're

746
00:29:04,943 --> 00:29:05,610
living somewhere, you can have

747
00:29:05,610 --> 00:29:06,477
a minor home occupation but

748
00:29:06,477 --> 00:29:08,913
major home occupations are

749
00:29:08,913 --> 00:29:11,416
prohibited from the general

750
00:29:11,416 --> 00:29:13,718
residential district. If we can

751
00:29:13,718 --> 00:29:15,520
recall from some of our

752
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:16,888
previous discussions in 2021,

753
00:29:16,888 --> 00:29:18,656
general residential encompasses

754
00:29:18,656 --> 00:29:19,790
about two thirds of the single

755
00:29:19,790 --> 00:29:21,993
family housing within our city.

756
00:29:21,993 --> 00:29:24,996
So, by that, we have barred two

757
00:29:24,996 --> 00:29:26,630
thirds of single-family

758
00:29:26,630 --> 00:29:28,599
homeowners and renters from

759
00:29:28,599 --> 00:29:30,935
being able to have the majority

760
00:29:30,935 --> 00:29:33,438
pole occupation by businesses

761
00:29:33,438 --> 00:29:34,705
that they tend to run

762
00:29:34,705 --> 00:29:36,841
especially now with online

763
00:29:36,841 --> 00:29:38,442
sales and personal services and

764
00:29:38,442 --> 00:29:39,143
the way those things have

765
00:29:39,143 --> 00:29:41,379
changed over the over the last

766
00:29:41,379 --> 00:29:43,047
few decades and the pandemic

767
00:29:43,047 --> 00:29:45,550
exacerbated that. Um SAF has

768
00:29:45,550 --> 00:29:47,986
found that to be a concern. So,

769
00:29:47,986 --> 00:29:51,022
what we are proposing is a set

770
00:29:51,022 --> 00:29:53,491
of home occupation regulations

771
00:29:53,491 --> 00:29:55,994
that are even across the board

772
00:29:55,994 --> 00:29:57,595
that generate the same

773
00:29:57,595 --> 00:29:58,563
standards for all home

774
00:29:58,563 --> 00:30:01,566
businesses to create clarity

775
00:30:01,566 --> 00:30:02,966
for all home businesses so that

776
00:30:02,966 --> 00:30:04,702
they understand exactly what

777
00:30:04,702 --> 00:30:06,504
rules apply to them and what

778
00:30:06,504 --> 00:30:08,339
may not and so, as an example

779
00:30:08,339 --> 00:30:10,607
of what can generate confusion

780
00:30:10,607 --> 00:30:12,510
currently, if you have a home

781
00:30:12,510 --> 00:30:14,479
tutoring business, you may have

782
00:30:14,479 --> 00:30:16,514
one client at your home.

783
00:30:16,514 --> 00:30:18,850
However, there is no stated

784
00:30:18,850 --> 00:30:21,386
limit for lawyers, architecture

785
00:30:21,386 --> 00:30:22,619
firms, engineering, or other

786
00:30:22,619 --> 00:30:24,522
types of office professional

787
00:30:24,522 --> 00:30:26,591
businesses. They may be

788
00:30:26,591 --> 00:30:29,193
conducting from your home. So,

789
00:30:29,193 --> 00:30:30,228
with that, you can

790
00:30:30,228 --> 00:30:30,862
theoretically have an entire

791
00:30:30,862 --> 00:30:33,130
family over as your clients for

792
00:30:33,130 --> 00:30:35,666
your architecture firm but you

793
00:30:35,666 --> 00:30:37,268
can only have one violin

794
00:30:37,268 --> 00:30:39,537
scooted over for your music

795
00:30:39,537 --> 00:30:41,004
tutoring. What we're proposing

796
00:30:41,004 --> 00:30:42,740
is that regardless of the type

797
00:30:42,740 --> 00:30:44,108
of home business you have, you

798
00:30:44,108 --> 00:30:46,043
may never have more than two

799
00:30:46,043 --> 00:30:48,079
clients present. And this

800
00:30:48,079 --> 00:30:50,181
would, we believe, accommodate

801
00:30:50,181 --> 00:30:51,749
a wide range of full occupation

802
00:30:51,749 --> 00:30:54,118
businesses, while also

803
00:30:54,118 --> 00:30:55,787
respecting and maintaining the

804
00:30:55,787 --> 00:30:56,354
residential quality of our

805
00:30:56,354 --> 00:30:59,223
neighborhoods. For example if

806
00:30:59,223 --> 00:31:00,758
you run a home salon, you can

807
00:31:00,758 --> 00:31:02,292
have one person in the chair

808
00:31:02,292 --> 00:31:04,628
and one person waiting. You can

809
00:31:04,628 --> 00:31:06,064
have two pints over for your

810
00:31:06,064 --> 00:31:07,999
law firm. You can have two

811
00:31:07,999 --> 00:31:09,634
music students over for

812
00:31:09,634 --> 00:31:11,235
tutoring. If you want to have a

813
00:31:11,235 --> 00:31:13,371
Pilates studio, you can have

814
00:31:13,371 --> 00:31:14,872
maybe a couple clients, a

815
00:31:14,872 --> 00:31:17,541
couple, show up or maybe two

816
00:31:17,541 --> 00:31:18,977
pints there and we take that

817
00:31:18,977 --> 00:31:22,046
sufficient. Um so, that's a few

818
00:31:22,046 --> 00:31:24,148
examples of how that two limit

819
00:31:24,148 --> 00:31:24,815
can apply broadly to a lot of

820
00:31:24,815 --> 00:31:26,217
businesses and hopefully still

821
00:31:26,217 --> 00:31:27,385
limit the traffic and occupancy

822
00:31:27,385 --> 00:31:29,487
and other things that are

823
00:31:29,487 --> 00:31:31,222
happening there in our homes

824
00:31:31,222 --> 00:31:32,623
and in our residential

825
00:31:32,623 --> 00:31:34,993
neighborhoods. To continue, we

826
00:31:34,993 --> 00:31:37,462
are setting nuisance standards

827
00:31:37,462 --> 00:31:40,098
that you can't have any light

828
00:31:40,098 --> 00:31:43,067
noise above ambient levels,

829
00:31:43,067 --> 00:31:44,802
odors, or other nuisances that

830
00:31:44,802 --> 00:31:46,603
could be generated because of

831
00:31:46,603 --> 00:31:48,606
your business. Be perceivable

832
00:31:48,606 --> 00:31:50,575
from beyond the property line.

833
00:31:50,575 --> 00:31:52,109
So, if you're conducting a

834
00:31:52,109 --> 00:31:55,079
whole business, we shouldn't be

835
00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:56,580
able to notice. That's got

836
00:31:56,580 --> 00:31:57,248
general guidelines. If you, if

837
00:31:57,248 --> 00:31:59,683
you're doing it we shouldn't

838
00:31:59,683 --> 00:32:00,985
even be able to tell except

839
00:32:00,985 --> 00:32:03,488
for, as a note, we're also

840
00:32:03,488 --> 00:32:04,655
proposing that all home

841
00:32:04,655 --> 00:32:08,526
businesses will qualify for a

842
00:32:08,526 --> 00:32:09,126
two-square-foot-sized sun. A

843
00:32:09,126 --> 00:32:12,563
very quaint and small sign in

844
00:32:12,563 --> 00:32:13,331
which they can advertise your

845
00:32:13,331 --> 00:32:14,365
business. That sound would be

846
00:32:14,365 --> 00:32:15,666
subject to all other

847
00:32:15,666 --> 00:32:18,035
regulations for its sign code

848
00:32:18,035 --> 00:32:20,438
including setbacks and also

849
00:32:20,438 --> 00:32:21,072
would be prohibited for being

850
00:32:21,072 --> 00:32:22,507
illuminated in any sense,

851
00:32:22,507 --> 00:32:25,043
internally, externally, neon

852
00:32:25,043 --> 00:32:26,276
signing, all of that would be

853
00:32:26,276 --> 00:32:28,078
prohibited. Um so, thank out

854
00:32:28,078 --> 00:32:30,014
just a small little yard sign

855
00:32:30,014 --> 00:32:30,715
or small little sign hanging

856
00:32:30,715 --> 00:32:32,917
off your porch just to at least

857
00:32:32,917 --> 00:32:34,986
help guide people to your

858
00:32:34,986 --> 00:32:37,855
home-based business. We're also

859
00:32:37,855 --> 00:32:39,223
continuing to ban any outdoor

860
00:32:39,223 --> 00:32:40,491
storage related to your

861
00:32:40,491 --> 00:32:42,493
home-based business. No

862
00:32:42,493 --> 00:32:44,595
materials, no goods can be

863
00:32:44,595 --> 00:32:45,829
stored in the exterior of your

864
00:32:45,829 --> 00:32:47,164
property regardless of fencing

865
00:32:47,164 --> 00:32:50,601
or other types of landscaping

866
00:32:50,601 --> 00:32:52,002
or physical barriers. You

867
00:32:52,002 --> 00:32:53,504
cannot do anything related to

868
00:32:53,504 --> 00:32:56,073
vehicle repair or sales in

869
00:32:56,073 --> 00:32:57,341
order to prevent those

870
00:32:57,341 --> 00:32:59,977
nuisances and prevent the

871
00:32:59,977 --> 00:33:01,446
accumulation of vehicles that

872
00:33:01,446 --> 00:33:03,046
junk parts and chemicals on

873
00:33:03,046 --> 00:33:05,516
properties. Uh they all be

874
00:33:05,516 --> 00:33:09,620
typically present. and there

875
00:33:09,620 --> 00:33:11,422
was one other change and then I

876
00:33:11,422 --> 00:33:13,824
forgot in my long speech here

877
00:33:13,824 --> 00:33:19,430
that you all have put up with.

878
00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:21,999
and then as well, we would make

879
00:33:21,999 --> 00:33:25,002
sure that it is clear to them

880
00:33:25,002 --> 00:33:26,404
about hours of operation. We'll

881
00:33:26,404 --> 00:33:29,807
be between 7 AM and seven PM.

882
00:33:29,807 --> 00:33:31,709
And that they are applicable to

883
00:33:31,709 --> 00:33:34,078
all other building codes that

884
00:33:34,078 --> 00:33:35,612
they have to sign an affidavit

885
00:33:35,612 --> 00:33:37,048
acknowledging all of these

886
00:33:37,048 --> 00:33:38,749
rules as currently stands. They

887
00:33:38,749 --> 00:33:40,651
have to have a city business

888
00:33:40,651 --> 00:33:41,251
license and maintain that

889
00:33:41,251 --> 00:33:42,587
business license which also

890
00:33:42,587 --> 00:33:43,787
requires the Secretary of State

891
00:33:43,787 --> 00:33:46,023
Business License. That still

892
00:33:46,023 --> 00:33:47,692
has the same size restriction

893
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:49,293
of no more than 25%. The gross

894
00:33:49,293 --> 00:33:50,861
floor area of year quality

895
00:33:50,861 --> 00:33:53,931
unit. Um and we usually use tax

896
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:55,132
assessors office data to

897
00:33:55,132 --> 00:33:58,068
determine that and that the

898
00:33:58,068 --> 00:34:00,638
vehicle, if there is a vehicle

899
00:34:00,638 --> 00:34:01,105
related to the whole

900
00:34:01,105 --> 00:34:03,374
occupation, it may not be above

901
00:34:03,374 --> 00:34:05,910
a 10, 000-pound gross vehicle

902
00:34:05,910 --> 00:34:08,412
mass rating and that would be

903
00:34:08,412 --> 00:34:10,148
the essential, essentially a

904
00:34:10,148 --> 00:34:11,282
full-size pickup truck. You

905
00:34:11,282 --> 00:34:12,450
couldn't be any larger than

906
00:34:12,450 --> 00:34:14,184
that. So, no large box trucks,

907
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,454
no super duty trucks, nothing

908
00:34:16,454 --> 00:34:18,089
that, you know, what, then,

909
00:34:18,089 --> 00:34:20,558
maybe a change, the residential

910
00:34:20,558 --> 00:34:21,358
nature and your use of your

911
00:34:21,358 --> 00:34:24,061
property. So, it would be be

912
00:34:24,061 --> 00:34:24,995
observed maybe a small food

913
00:34:24,995 --> 00:34:27,031
truck at the largest you could

914
00:34:27,031 --> 00:34:28,632
get in that 10, 000 pound

915
00:34:28,632 --> 00:34:31,568
category. those are our

916
00:34:31,568 --> 00:34:33,137
proposals there and with this,

917
00:34:33,137 --> 00:34:34,571
like I said, the elimination of

918
00:34:34,571 --> 00:34:36,573
the minor major categories and

919
00:34:36,573 --> 00:34:38,475
bringing it down to just a one

920
00:34:38,475 --> 00:34:40,611
single category of home

921
00:34:40,611 --> 00:34:42,079
occupation at the same

922
00:34:42,079 --> 00:34:43,814
standards applied to across the

923
00:34:43,814 --> 00:34:46,117
board. We believe that this

924
00:34:46,117 --> 00:34:47,451
would increase confidence in

925
00:34:47,451 --> 00:34:49,086
home business owners. This will

926
00:34:49,086 --> 00:34:51,589
help foster small business and

927
00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:52,690
hopefully make it easier for

928
00:34:52,690 --> 00:34:55,593
folks to come forward and be

929
00:34:55,593 --> 00:34:56,694
honest about running our own

930
00:34:56,694 --> 00:34:57,328
business. Uh this is one of

931
00:34:57,328 --> 00:34:58,563
those things that are sometimes

932
00:34:58,563 --> 00:35:01,032
tricky to regulate. Um because

933
00:35:01,032 --> 00:35:03,100
they're doing it right, we

934
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:03,834
shouldn't know they're there

935
00:35:03,834 --> 00:35:05,069
anyways and so it's hard for us

936
00:35:05,069 --> 00:35:07,071
to maybe know unless we see

937
00:35:07,071 --> 00:35:07,572
them advertising their

938
00:35:07,572 --> 00:35:11,608
business. So, so with that, we

939
00:35:11,608 --> 00:35:14,045
believe that this will have a

940
00:35:14,045 --> 00:35:15,446
positive impact as we recover

941
00:35:15,446 --> 00:35:18,182
from the pandemic and allow for

942
00:35:18,182 --> 00:35:20,585
greater flexibility in our

943
00:35:20,585 --> 00:35:21,252
neighborhoods. There were many

944
00:35:21,252 --> 00:35:23,120
other considerations that we

945
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,156
had regarding this. Um so, I'd

946
00:35:25,156 --> 00:35:26,156
be happy that there came any

947
00:35:26,156 --> 00:35:27,624
questions or comments from the

948
00:35:27,624 --> 00:35:30,494
commissioners or the governor.

949
00:35:30,494 --> 00:35:31,262
Thank you. Commissioner Jeff

950
00:35:31,262 --> 00:35:34,565
questions.

951
00:35:34,565 --> 00:35:37,101
this pertains the general

952
00:35:37,101 --> 00:35:38,603
neighborhood. All all

953
00:35:38,603 --> 00:35:39,937
residential areas? Yes,

954
00:35:39,937 --> 00:35:40,637
Commission Ann is correct. They

955
00:35:40,637 --> 00:35:42,940
would apply equally to all

956
00:35:42,940 --> 00:35:45,543
districts. So, it would go. You

957
00:35:45,543 --> 00:35:47,711
mentioned about vehicles. You

958
00:35:47,711 --> 00:35:48,312
can understand about parking

959
00:35:48,312 --> 00:35:52,116
that would be limited. But This

960
00:35:52,116 --> 00:36:00,758
is an example which which

961
00:36:00,758 --> 00:36:04,829
Selling snacks.

962
00:36:04,829 --> 00:36:08,132
huge truck outside but

963
00:36:08,132 --> 00:36:09,266
according to the statue, they

964
00:36:09,266 --> 00:36:10,668
couldn't get rid of it because

965
00:36:10,668 --> 00:36:11,368
the truck as big as it was, the

966
00:36:11,368 --> 00:36:14,005
did not exceed the weight of

967
00:36:14,005 --> 00:36:15,506
parking in a residential area.

968
00:36:15,506 --> 00:36:17,608
There's what you, you said on

969
00:36:17,608 --> 00:36:23,514
the having these vehicles

970
00:36:23,514 --> 00:36:25,582
It depends on what you get on

971
00:36:25,582 --> 00:36:26,316
the vehicle classification. If

972
00:36:26,316 --> 00:36:28,552
we look at the staff report at

973
00:36:28,552 --> 00:36:30,054
the beginning of this, we've

974
00:36:30,054 --> 00:36:31,789
included a diagram from the US

975
00:36:31,789 --> 00:36:34,025
Department of Transportation.

976
00:36:34,025 --> 00:36:36,160
That kind of shows that and we

977
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,564
can see 10000 gross vehicle

978
00:36:40,564 --> 00:36:42,066
weight is equivalent to a

979
00:36:42,066 --> 00:36:43,567
full-size pickup truck, a cargo

980
00:36:43,567 --> 00:36:45,736
van, a step van, so a very

981
00:36:45,736 --> 00:36:47,171
security time food truck, or a

982
00:36:47,171 --> 00:36:49,907
mini van. So, minivan is also

983
00:36:49,907 --> 00:36:52,576
class 2 people. It to go above

984
00:36:52,576 --> 00:36:54,011
that, you have to look at

985
00:36:54,011 --> 00:37:01,018
walk-in van or a delivery a box

986
00:37:01,018 --> 00:37:03,687
Yes, so a box truck would do,

987
00:37:03,687 --> 00:37:06,590
therefore, be brave. As a, as a

988
00:37:06,590 --> 00:37:07,224
class-free vehicle that would

989
00:37:07,224 --> 00:37:10,027
not be permitted.

990
00:37:10,027 --> 00:37:16,434
Nothing has come out of power

991
00:37:16,434 --> 00:37:18,803
Uh we actually get support from

992
00:37:18,803 --> 00:37:20,504
200, two other departments to

993
00:37:20,504 --> 00:37:22,640
regulate home occupations. Code

994
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,508
enforcement is a very wonderful

995
00:37:24,508 --> 00:37:26,543
development department helps us

996
00:37:26,543 --> 00:37:28,645
out. Um they drive our

997
00:37:28,645 --> 00:37:30,981
neighborhoods quite often and

998
00:37:30,981 --> 00:37:34,051
usually report anything that

999
00:37:34,051 --> 00:37:35,185
they notice and and same with

1000
00:37:35,185 --> 00:37:37,754
the finance office who is

1001
00:37:37,754 --> 00:37:39,356
constantly vigilant to make

1002
00:37:39,356 --> 00:37:40,524
sure that every business

1003
00:37:40,524 --> 00:37:41,558
operating in the city is

1004
00:37:41,558 --> 00:37:43,494
licensed. So, we have those two

1005
00:37:43,494 --> 00:37:44,228
departments who assist us. As

1006
00:37:44,228 --> 00:37:48,199
well, we are looking into with

1007
00:37:48,199 --> 00:37:49,533
our hopeful increase in

1008
00:37:49,533 --> 00:37:50,133
staffing in the very near

1009
00:37:50,133 --> 00:37:53,537
future. Uh we are looking to as

1010
00:37:53,537 --> 00:37:56,540
a department be out and the

1011
00:37:56,540 --> 00:37:57,608
neighborhoods more often

1012
00:37:57,608 --> 00:37:59,043
ourselves. So, why all three

1013
00:37:59,043 --> 00:38:00,044
departments trying to be

1014
00:38:00,044 --> 00:38:01,512
vigilant to make sure that

1015
00:38:01,512 --> 00:38:03,079
these are being adhered to as

1016
00:38:03,079 --> 00:38:05,449
well. We do find our citizens

1017
00:38:05,449 --> 00:38:08,518
be vigilant and usually come to

1018
00:38:08,518 --> 00:38:10,988
us with any concerns or issues

1019
00:38:10,988 --> 00:38:12,490
regularly. So, we've had

1020
00:38:12,490 --> 00:38:17,561
success with them so far.

1021
00:38:17,561 --> 00:38:19,730
the vigilance of the at least

1022
00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:23,067
in in my in and we've discussed

1023
00:38:23,067 --> 00:38:25,102
this. They won't come forward.

1024
00:38:25,102 --> 00:38:29,139
The gentleman we talked to him again. And he

1025
00:38:29,139 --> 00:38:31,274
will not come forward on it. He

1026
00:38:31,274 --> 00:38:32,510
said I don't want

1027
00:38:32,510 --> 00:38:34,011
repercussions. We then come

1028
00:38:34,011 --> 00:38:37,181
back to me. And he said this is

1029
00:38:37,181 --> 00:38:38,549
the code's joint. When you said

1030
00:38:38,549 --> 00:38:39,683
the code comes through it. I

1031
00:38:39,683 --> 00:38:41,084
said the code comes through. He

1032
00:38:41,084 --> 00:38:43,087
said if they come through. How

1033
00:38:43,087 --> 00:38:44,621
come I know it? And I see the

1034
00:38:44,621 --> 00:38:46,424
signs of it. But the code

1035
00:38:46,424 --> 00:38:47,124
doesn't. He told me this

1036
00:38:47,124 --> 00:38:49,059
yesterday. And he told me what

1037
00:38:49,059 --> 00:38:49,994
he sees. He said why can't the

1038
00:38:49,994 --> 00:38:53,330
code see them. And I said, I

1039
00:38:53,330 --> 00:38:55,232
don't know. I said, Paul,

1040
00:38:55,232 --> 00:38:55,899
Shane, tell him. He said, no,

1041
00:38:55,899 --> 00:38:59,169
I'm not going to call. And you tried to get a hold of me,

1042
00:38:59,169 --> 00:39:01,104
right? If you credited me, you

1043
00:39:01,104 --> 00:39:05,075
returned these calls but he is

1044
00:39:05,075 --> 00:39:07,177
he's a, he's an old enough, and

1045
00:39:07,177 --> 00:39:11,214
has ill, illness in the family,

1046
00:39:11,214 --> 00:39:13,117
and he doesn't want any hassle.

1047
00:39:13,117 --> 00:39:13,884
But he's concerned that the

1048
00:39:13,884 --> 00:39:15,151
neighborhood has this problem.

1049
00:39:15,151 --> 00:39:17,254
And the covid's not picking up

1050
00:39:17,254 --> 00:39:19,122
on. My kids say, without

1051
00:39:19,122 --> 00:39:21,091
particular instance, there's

1052
00:39:21,091 --> 00:39:21,792
noone contacts without saving

1053
00:39:21,792 --> 00:39:24,161
the addresses or names, code

1054
00:39:24,161 --> 00:39:25,662
enforcement did follow up, and

1055
00:39:25,662 --> 00:39:26,430
was able to make a

1056
00:39:26,430 --> 00:39:27,298
determination about, it's not

1057
00:39:27,298 --> 00:39:30,567
all for

1058
00:39:30,567 --> 00:39:32,102
adjustments to the property and

1059
00:39:32,102 --> 00:39:34,638
enhancements. He was correct?

1060
00:39:34,638 --> 00:39:35,405
Yeah, that's correct and we

1061
00:39:35,405 --> 00:39:36,640
were able to follow up with

1062
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,043
that and they are working to

1063
00:39:39,043 --> 00:39:43,013
get that in compliance. Um so,

1064
00:39:43,013 --> 00:39:44,815
we and especially that

1065
00:39:44,815 --> 00:39:47,117
particular your neighborhood,

1066
00:39:47,117 --> 00:39:48,118
we have a very good vote

1067
00:39:48,118 --> 00:39:50,955
enforcement officer there. Who

1068
00:39:50,955 --> 00:39:52,656
I can pass on the area and it's

1069
00:39:52,656 --> 00:39:56,159
being stopped or it's I, the

1070
00:39:56,159 --> 00:39:58,462
exact context I don't want to

1071
00:39:58,462 --> 00:40:00,030
discuss openly just because it

1072
00:40:00,030 --> 00:40:01,398
is a, it is an open violation

1073
00:40:01,398 --> 00:40:03,133
for one of our citizens. Um,

1074
00:40:03,133 --> 00:40:04,267
but I can say that they are

1075
00:40:04,267 --> 00:40:05,602
working with them, and we are

1076
00:40:05,602 --> 00:40:08,005
addressing it. They are working

1077
00:40:08,005 --> 00:40:11,075
on it. They are. And, and that, particular code

1078
00:40:11,075 --> 00:40:13,010
enforcement official has been

1079
00:40:13,010 --> 00:40:14,644
so vigilant that it has caused

1080
00:40:14,644 --> 00:40:16,146
some issues as he's found

1081
00:40:16,146 --> 00:40:17,247
things that were maybe missed

1082
00:40:17,247 --> 00:40:20,084
for several years. And he's

1083
00:40:20,084 --> 00:40:22,486
forward to us. And which caused

1084
00:40:22,486 --> 00:40:23,854
some heartburn for a few of our

1085
00:40:23,854 --> 00:40:25,022
citizens. But, he's been pretty

1086
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:28,592
good and I hope we maintain

1087
00:40:28,592 --> 00:40:29,960
that level of quality and and

1088
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,396
can who's in charge of that

1089
00:40:32,396 --> 00:40:34,932
department seems to be hiring

1090
00:40:34,932 --> 00:40:37,468
individuals who have that

1091
00:40:37,468 --> 00:40:38,202
penalty level and that skill

1092
00:40:38,202 --> 00:40:40,671
level. So, I'm hoping we can

1093
00:40:40,671 --> 00:40:42,339
maintain that. That's that's

1094
00:40:42,339 --> 00:40:43,941
going to be what we have to do

1095
00:40:43,941 --> 00:40:44,708
with staff is we're going to

1096
00:40:44,708 --> 00:40:46,243
have to make sure everyone's

1097
00:40:46,243 --> 00:40:47,110
trained and they're being

1098
00:40:47,110 --> 00:40:48,712
vigilant and they're even if

1099
00:40:48,712 --> 00:40:50,981
it's uncomfortable at times, we

1100
00:40:50,981 --> 00:40:52,549
do need to ask our citizens to

1101
00:40:52,549 --> 00:40:53,683
follow the regulations passed

1102
00:40:53,683 --> 00:40:56,587
by council. Well, there was a

1103
00:40:56,587 --> 00:40:58,221
safety issue. I think we

1104
00:40:58,221 --> 00:41:00,391
discussed that it had been and

1105
00:41:00,391 --> 00:41:02,226
he was willing or not. If it

1106
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:03,561
was being done, it was the

1107
00:41:03,561 --> 00:41:04,461
safety of the person who's

1108
00:41:04,461 --> 00:41:08,032
going to give them

1109
00:41:08,032 --> 00:41:10,601
Now, let me ask you this with

1110
00:41:10,601 --> 00:41:14,471
these little places dark felt

1111
00:41:14,471 --> 00:41:23,414
popping up all over the city.

1112
00:41:23,414 --> 00:41:30,821
day after meet the

1113
00:41:30,821 --> 00:41:33,357
ability to their life, they

1114
00:41:33,357 --> 00:41:34,157
would generally not in my

1115
00:41:34,157 --> 00:41:35,359
experience. And the reason

1116
00:41:35,359 --> 00:41:37,628
being is because of the degree

1117
00:41:37,628 --> 00:41:39,262
in business in which they're

1118
00:41:39,262 --> 00:41:40,464
conducting. So we are still

1119
00:41:40,464 --> 00:41:42,366
prohibiting like window display

1120
00:41:42,366 --> 00:41:44,568
and retail cell product and and

1121
00:41:44,568 --> 00:41:47,137
things like that. And so when

1122
00:41:47,137 --> 00:41:48,472
they conduct these small

1123
00:41:48,472 --> 00:41:50,006
home-based businesses and

1124
00:41:50,006 --> 00:41:51,475
because of the way they're

1125
00:41:51,475 --> 00:41:53,611
classified by building those.

1126
00:41:53,611 --> 00:41:56,614
They're not required to update

1127
00:41:56,614 --> 00:41:58,249
for the Americans with

1128
00:41:58,249 --> 00:42:01,085
Disability Act. Uh for their

1129
00:42:01,085 --> 00:42:03,320
clientele unfortunately. So

1130
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:04,255
Now, however, as a business

1131
00:42:04,255 --> 00:42:05,923
owner, there are many things

1132
00:42:05,923 --> 00:42:06,957
that can apply to that such as

1133
00:42:06,957 --> 00:42:08,826
they need to make sure they

1134
00:42:08,826 --> 00:42:10,026
accommodate anybody who

1135
00:42:10,026 --> 00:42:12,529
requests services and and make

1136
00:42:12,529 --> 00:42:15,666
sure that they are being

1137
00:42:15,666 --> 00:42:16,666
compliant with civil rights

1138
00:42:16,666 --> 00:42:17,768
laws as they are applicable to

1139
00:42:17,768 --> 00:42:20,470
this businesses. When they and

1140
00:42:20,470 --> 00:42:22,306
this is what we hope for that

1141
00:42:22,306 --> 00:42:24,374
they are so successful and that

1142
00:42:24,374 --> 00:42:25,843
does become an issue that they

1143
00:42:25,843 --> 00:42:26,710
will move into a commercial

1144
00:42:26,710 --> 00:42:28,212
space and they will get a

1145
00:42:28,212 --> 00:42:29,780
proper space where it's more

1146
00:42:29,780 --> 00:42:31,047
accessible to the public. If

1147
00:42:31,047 --> 00:42:32,850
they are getting maybe a decent

1148
00:42:32,850 --> 00:42:33,484
number of books racket that

1149
00:42:33,484 --> 00:42:34,551
becomes less convenient to try

1150
00:42:34,551 --> 00:42:35,586
to accommodate those

1151
00:42:35,586 --> 00:42:36,286
individuals by meeting them at

1152
00:42:36,286 --> 00:42:38,588
a maybe a local restaurant, a

1153
00:42:38,588 --> 00:42:41,392
coffee shop that is accessible

1154
00:42:41,392 --> 00:42:43,626
to provide services. Um so,

1155
00:42:43,626 --> 00:42:46,030
that's where we hope that goes

1156
00:42:46,030 --> 00:42:46,664
in that direction because of

1157
00:42:46,664 --> 00:42:47,497
course, we don't want any

1158
00:42:47,497 --> 00:42:49,133
citizen left out of any

1159
00:42:49,133 --> 00:42:50,867
services or goods that may be

1160
00:42:50,867 --> 00:42:53,971
provided. Now, if a, if a

1161
00:42:53,971 --> 00:42:55,873
homeowner does want to update

1162
00:42:55,873 --> 00:42:57,908
on optionally, they are

1163
00:42:57,908 --> 00:42:58,675
permitted to do so and we do

1164
00:42:58,675 --> 00:43:00,044
have special exceptions for

1165
00:43:00,044 --> 00:43:02,012
handicap rents and

1166
00:43:02,012 --> 00:43:03,414
accessibility ramps to get in

1167
00:43:03,414 --> 00:43:05,148
and out of residences within

1168
00:43:05,148 --> 00:43:06,750
our zoning code to make sure we

1169
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:07,851
can accommodate everybody the

1170
00:43:07,851 --> 00:43:10,286
best we can. So, we do at least

1171
00:43:10,286 --> 00:43:15,993
give them the option to do so.

1172
00:43:15,993 --> 00:43:17,427
with the residents of the area

1173
00:43:17,427 --> 00:43:20,597
still have the opportunity to

1174
00:43:20,597 --> 00:43:23,166
contest of go before the

1175
00:43:23,166 --> 00:43:25,436
billboard, the stop that they

1176
00:43:25,436 --> 00:43:26,003
feel that they're being a

1177
00:43:26,003 --> 00:43:27,971
nuisance. At this point in

1178
00:43:27,971 --> 00:43:31,508
time, no home occupation goes

1179
00:43:31,508 --> 00:43:32,409
up for a conditional use

1180
00:43:32,409 --> 00:43:33,610
permit. Um they're either

1181
00:43:33,610 --> 00:43:34,678
outright allowed or they're not

1182
00:43:34,678 --> 00:43:37,013
or they're prohibited. So, we

1183
00:43:37,013 --> 00:43:39,315
have not handled. They're not prohibited. They're

1184
00:43:39,315 --> 00:43:41,051
in there but they're causing a

1185
00:43:41,051 --> 00:43:42,486
nuisance. Do the neighbors have

1186
00:43:42,486 --> 00:43:44,321
the opportunity to to get them

1187
00:43:44,321 --> 00:43:46,923
out? Yeah, I did especially if

1188
00:43:46,923 --> 00:43:49,493
they violate any standard

1189
00:43:49,493 --> 00:43:51,061
currently written or as

1190
00:43:51,061 --> 00:43:52,495
proposed, then, of course, the

1191
00:43:52,495 --> 00:43:54,031
city has the right to go and

1192
00:43:54,031 --> 00:43:56,533
request that they cease

1193
00:43:56,533 --> 00:43:57,935
operation of the business. Uh

1194
00:43:57,935 --> 00:43:59,403
hopefully, it never goes that

1195
00:43:59,403 --> 00:44:00,404
far. Hopefully, we just get it

1196
00:44:00,404 --> 00:44:02,139
created. Um we get them

1197
00:44:02,139 --> 00:44:04,608
compliant but yes, they they

1198
00:44:04,608 --> 00:44:05,976
have that right to report that

1199
00:44:05,976 --> 00:44:07,176
to us and we have the right to

1200
00:44:07,176 --> 00:44:08,645
follow up and make sure that

1201
00:44:08,645 --> 00:44:10,080
they are compliant. So, because

1202
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,115
we don't want any negative

1203
00:44:12,115 --> 00:44:14,084
impact from this right? We

1204
00:44:14,084 --> 00:44:16,085
don't anyway making a lot of

1205
00:44:16,085 --> 00:44:18,689
noise or creating much voter or

1206
00:44:18,689 --> 00:44:22,426
smoke or or junk in their yard,

1207
00:44:22,426 --> 00:44:23,961
eating a waste that started

1208
00:44:23,961 --> 00:44:24,628
from the business. We don't

1209
00:44:24,628 --> 00:44:25,562
want things like that

1210
00:44:25,562 --> 00:44:27,097
happening. So, we will make

1211
00:44:27,097 --> 00:44:28,098
sure all of that in the

1212
00:44:28,098 --> 00:44:28,799
neighborhood sector is going to

1213
00:44:28,799 --> 00:44:31,969
report name them and and to

1214
00:44:31,969 --> 00:44:34,471
from my perception, unless

1215
00:44:34,471 --> 00:44:36,073
there's extremely special

1216
00:44:36,073 --> 00:44:37,107
circumstances, there won't be

1217
00:44:37,107 --> 00:44:38,475
variances considered for that.

1218
00:44:38,475 --> 00:44:40,844
I mean, you you really have to

1219
00:44:40,844 --> 00:44:42,579
have some very unique

1220
00:44:42,579 --> 00:44:44,014
circumstances to your property

1221
00:44:44,014 --> 00:44:45,549
to make you qualify for

1222
00:44:45,549 --> 00:44:47,651
fairness to these types of

1223
00:44:47,651 --> 00:44:48,952
regulations. So, that would

1224
00:44:48,952 --> 00:44:49,853
need to be entertained. It's

1225
00:44:49,853 --> 00:44:53,090
either comply or don't. Or do

1226
00:44:53,090 --> 00:44:53,757
not conduct a business at your

1227
00:44:53,757 --> 00:44:56,560
home. Maybe because I'm a law

1228
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,631
molder. Sort of congested area

1229
00:45:00,631 --> 00:45:01,798
over each side that I've seen a

1230
00:45:01,798 --> 00:45:05,469
lot of in my general

1231
00:45:05,469 --> 00:45:07,203
residential area has been in

1232
00:45:07,203 --> 00:45:08,605
problems with that type of

1233
00:45:08,605 --> 00:45:11,074
mental enrollment Uh had been

1234
00:45:11,074 --> 00:45:11,774
cleared up in past by the past

1235
00:45:11,774 --> 00:45:15,979
city council. So,

1236
00:45:15,979 --> 00:45:17,915
It's not a, it's not a being

1237
00:45:17,915 --> 00:45:20,617
antagonistic. I'm trying to see

1238
00:45:20,617 --> 00:45:23,653
what may come from You know, my

1239
00:45:23,653 --> 00:45:24,922
staff and I and I just want to

1240
00:45:24,922 --> 00:45:26,122
express it. I greatly

1241
00:45:26,122 --> 00:45:27,523
appreciate that because the

1242
00:45:27,523 --> 00:45:28,725
protection of our residential

1243
00:45:28,725 --> 00:45:29,960
neighborhood characteristics

1244
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:31,761
and peace and enjoyment and the

1245
00:45:31,761 --> 00:45:32,796
welfare of those neighborhoods

1246
00:45:32,796 --> 00:45:34,130
is very important to us and we

1247
00:45:34,130 --> 00:45:36,500
don't want to we don't want to

1248
00:45:36,500 --> 00:45:37,100
jeopardize you either. We've

1249
00:45:37,100 --> 00:45:38,201
had several homes in our area

1250
00:45:38,201 --> 00:45:39,503
that have been flipped that

1251
00:45:39,503 --> 00:45:41,338
they're really nice. If you've

1252
00:45:41,338 --> 00:45:42,005
seen before, they're really

1253
00:45:42,005 --> 00:45:43,507
junky. They're really nice

1254
00:45:43,507 --> 00:45:45,943
homes now. And I can imagine

1255
00:45:45,943 --> 00:45:46,610
someone that wanted to buy one

1256
00:45:46,610 --> 00:45:48,745
of those now and finds this out

1257
00:45:48,745 --> 00:45:49,980
and says, well, wait a minute,

1258
00:45:49,980 --> 00:45:51,214
I mean, because our homes are

1259
00:45:51,214 --> 00:45:54,418
close together. I have when

1260
00:45:54,418 --> 00:45:55,218
they're parked in the front and

1261
00:45:55,218 --> 00:45:56,653
I'm going to have this lawyer

1262
00:45:56,653 --> 00:45:59,022
next to me. I I just can see

1263
00:45:59,022 --> 00:46:00,524
where I would be hesitant

1264
00:46:00,524 --> 00:46:03,226
moving into the city. I think

1265
00:46:03,226 --> 00:46:07,397
our brutalism now or maybe

1266
00:46:07,397 --> 00:46:08,432
I I can say that is the

1267
00:46:08,432 --> 00:46:10,099
opposite of being a positive

1268
00:46:10,099 --> 00:46:12,936
for the general presidential

1269
00:46:12,936 --> 00:46:13,570
aid. I don't know if that's

1270
00:46:13,570 --> 00:46:17,908
just me

1271
00:46:17,908 --> 00:46:20,443
and a comment Commissioner. I'd

1272
00:46:20,443 --> 00:46:22,746
like to open the hearing to the

1273
00:46:22,746 --> 00:46:24,481
public. Is anyone here speaking

1274
00:46:24,481 --> 00:46:26,884
favor of this amendment to the

1275
00:46:26,884 --> 00:46:30,988
zoning code?

1276
00:46:30,988 --> 00:46:33,690
Okay. Is anyone here to who's

1277
00:46:33,690 --> 00:46:35,358
opposed to this zoning code for

1278
00:46:35,358 --> 00:46:40,497
right to speak

1279
00:46:40,497 --> 00:46:41,698
Very proposed to the public

1280
00:46:41,698 --> 00:46:44,835
hearing. Commission ers have

1281
00:46:44,835 --> 00:46:47,871
any other comments

1282
00:46:47,871 --> 00:46:53,076

doing good tax amendments here

1308
00:48:12,122 --> 00:48:12,655
impacts the items as the

1309
00:48:12,655 --> 00:48:14,090
president just read. So, we are

1310
00:48:14,090 --> 00:48:15,992
creating a definition for

1311
00:48:15,992 --> 00:48:16,793

00:48:18,161 --> 00:48:20,030
already in our permitted use

1314
00:48:20,030 --> 00:48:21,864
chart. We've just didn't need

1315
00:48:21,864 --> 00:48:22,465
it to find because it was

1316
00:48:22,465 --> 00:48:24,034
covered under another

1317
00:48:24,034 --> 00:48:24,767
definition which we are

1318
00:48:24,767 --> 00:48:26,102
proposing to eliminate which is

1319
00:48:26,102 --> 00:48:28,438
the sales and services of

1320
00:48:28,438 --> 00:48:29,606
automobile boat, heavy

1321
00:48:29,606 --> 00:48:31,174
equipment, manufactured homes.

1322
00:48:31,174 --> 00:48:32,809
Um which is now going to be

1323
00:48:32,809 --> 00:48:33,676
coming under two different

1324
00:48:33,676 --> 00:48:36,746
definitions You can read that

1325
00:48:36,746 --> 00:48:38,080
legal definition there. What we

1326
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:39,516
think manufactured home sales

1327
00:48:39,516 --> 00:48:42,986
and services are. Then, we are

1328
00:48:42,986 --> 00:48:43,586
proposing an amendment to

1329
00:48:43,586 --> 00:48:45,622
manufactured sales,

1330
00:48:45,622 --> 00:48:47,557
manufacturing sales artisan and

1331
00:48:47,557 --> 00:48:50,026
which we state that these uses

1332
00:48:50,026 --> 00:48:52,462
are subject to the same use

1333
00:48:52,462 --> 00:48:53,797
standards and size limitations

1334
00:48:53,797 --> 00:48:56,699
as retail and service uses. Uh

1335
00:48:56,699 --> 00:48:58,401
and our zone code which is a

1336
00:48:58,401 --> 00:48:59,836
unique approach for most cities

1337
00:48:59,836 --> 00:49:01,972
in West Virginia. We regulate

1338
00:49:01,972 --> 00:49:03,473
several business types by

1339
00:49:03,473 --> 00:49:05,675
square footage and so, Given

1340
00:49:05,675 --> 00:49:07,643
that these are similar in

1341
00:49:07,643 --> 00:49:08,177
nature because they are

1342
00:49:08,177 --> 00:49:09,379
generally a retail business.

1343
00:49:09,379 --> 00:49:11,415
They will be subject to the

1344
00:49:11,415 --> 00:49:12,949
same use restrictions and size

1345
00:49:12,949 --> 00:49:15,085
restrictions. As retail

1346
00:49:15,085 --> 00:49:17,587
services. Um we just want to

1347
00:49:17,587 --> 00:49:18,588
make sure that language is

1348
00:49:18,588 --> 00:49:20,056
clear. There's not a loophole

1349
00:49:20,056 --> 00:49:22,659
there. As well we are changing

1350
00:49:22,659 --> 00:49:24,027
the name of restaurant slash

1351
00:49:24,027 --> 00:49:25,561
lounge to restaurant without

1352
00:49:25,561 --> 00:49:28,265
public sales. And that is the

1353
00:49:28,265 --> 00:49:29,665
total of those proposed

1354
00:49:29,665 --> 00:49:33,970
amendments. Commission ers have

1355
00:49:33,970 --> 00:49:38,675
any questions for Jay, brother

1356
00:49:38,675 --> 00:49:40,477
any businesses currently in the

1357
00:49:40,477 --> 00:49:43,013
that the manufactured home

1358
00:49:43,013 --> 00:49:44,648
sales and services would in

1359
00:49:44,648 --> 00:49:48,051
fact no not to to my

1360
00:49:48,051 --> 00:49:49,719
interpretation of it and my

1361
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:50,786
understanding we have one

1362
00:49:50,786 --> 00:49:52,188
business that sells parts and

1363
00:49:52,188 --> 00:49:54,624
components and accessories but

1364
00:49:54,624 --> 00:49:56,225
they don't sell manufactured

1365
00:49:56,225 --> 00:49:58,761
homes. Right. Um and so we

1366
00:49:58,761 --> 00:49:59,529
don't believe this one. In

1367
00:49:59,529 --> 00:50:00,730
fact, in fact, an existing

1368
00:50:00,730 --> 00:50:02,665
businesses. Um we just want to

1369
00:50:02,665 --> 00:50:04,401
make sure this is clear for

1370
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:05,067
future businesses as they

1371
00:50:05,067 --> 00:50:06,536
intend to come forward into our

1372
00:50:06,536 --> 00:50:11,975
industrial zone areas.

1373
00:50:11,975 --> 00:50:15,445
Any other questions? I'm

1374
00:50:15,445 --> 00:50:16,613
going to open the public

1375
00:50:16,613 --> 00:50:18,681
hearing on this amendment to

1376
00:50:18,681 --> 00:50:20,450
the public. Is there anyone

1377
00:50:20,450 --> 00:50:21,318
present who would like to speak

1378
00:50:21,318 --> 00:50:22,519
in favor of this amendment to

1379
00:50:22,519 --> 00:50:26,957
the zon

1380
00:50:26,957 --> 00:50:30,060
Anyone here would like to speak

1381
00:50:30,060 --> 00:50:34,498
against this amendment facility

1382
00:50:34,498 --> 00:50:36,533
Okay. Can we go ahead and close

1383
00:50:36,533 --> 00:50:37,934
the public hearing and

1384
00:50:37,934 --> 00:50:41,037
entertain a motion to approve

1385
00:50:41,037 --> 00:50:47,944

00:50:54,551 --> 00:50:56,686
Richardson. Christian can you

1390
00:50:56,686 --> 00:50:59,422

Commission Yin. Yes. Alright,

1399
00:51:19,575 --> 00:51:23,413
devotions Next thing on the

1400
00:51:23,413 --> 00:51:25,147
agenda is PC 22oh 3 amending

1401
00:51:25,147 --> 00:51:27,584
article three, zoning districts

1402
00:51:27,584 --> 00:51:28,852
pertaining to the permitted use

1403
00:51:28,852 --> 00:51:30,487
chart related to multiple

1404
00:51:30,487 --> 00:51:32,956
permitted uses across multiple

1405
00:51:32,956 --> 00:51:35,926
zoning districts. I'm going to

1406
00:51:35,926 --> 00:51:37,360
turn it over to you one more

1407
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,462
time. Thank you, mister

1408
00:51:39,462 --> 00:51:41,431
president. With these

1409
00:51:41,431 --> 00:51:42,665
amendments here, I won't go

1410
00:51:42,665 --> 00:51:45,534
over them in full detail Um and

1411
00:51:45,534 --> 00:51:47,136
just because of the nature of

1412
00:51:47,136 --> 00:51:49,171
this chart, but this, what it

1413
00:51:49,171 --> 00:51:49,805
says, these are amendments, the

1414
00:51:49,805 --> 00:51:52,709
table three A. This dictates

1415
00:51:52,709 --> 00:51:56,045
where you can. perform a land

1416
00:51:56,045 --> 00:51:57,613
used conditionally perform a

1417
00:51:57,613 --> 00:52:00,016
land use Fort Worth prohibited.

1418
00:52:00,016 --> 00:52:02,085
Um so, we are proposing several

1419
00:52:02,085 --> 00:52:04,687
amendments to this. want to

1420
00:52:04,687 --> 00:52:06,455
throw at the earlier stuff we

1421
00:52:06,455 --> 00:52:09,492
just discussed with two prior

1422
00:52:09,492 --> 00:52:11,494
petitions. Um but also to

1423
00:52:11,494 --> 00:52:15,999
adjust some Well, we believe

1424
00:52:15,999 --> 00:52:19,235
we're inconsistencies that were

1425
00:52:19,235 --> 00:52:21,438
left over from the previous

1426
00:52:21,438 --> 00:52:23,940
version of the permitted uses

1427
00:52:23,940 --> 00:52:24,640
where they were right now in

1428
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,876
each district and before we

1429
00:52:26,876 --> 00:52:28,144
amended the zoning code last

1430
00:52:28,144 --> 00:52:32,082
year because we just

1431
00:52:32,082 --> 00:52:32,682
essentially copy and pasted

1432
00:52:32,682 --> 00:52:34,918
them over into this chart but

1433
00:52:34,918 --> 00:52:37,420
there were odd things. Um but

1434
00:52:37,420 --> 00:52:39,189
I'll get the couple of those

1435
00:52:39,189 --> 00:52:40,523
examples in a moment. So, we

1436
00:52:40,523 --> 00:52:43,059
are proposing for example, we

1437
00:52:43,059 --> 00:52:44,460
are eliminating the two types

1438
00:52:44,460 --> 00:52:46,096
of home occupations eventually.

1439
00:52:46,096 --> 00:52:48,097
So, we're bringing that down to

1440
00:52:48,097 --> 00:52:49,565
one line and you can see the

1441
00:52:49,565 --> 00:52:50,300
strike through there for full

1442
00:52:50,300 --> 00:52:52,768
occupation we are limiting the

1443
00:52:52,768 --> 00:52:54,838
tax to bring down just one line

1444
00:52:54,838 --> 00:52:58,942
of within the table Um we are

1445
00:52:58,942 --> 00:53:01,610
looking at some changes to how

1446
00:53:01,610 --> 00:53:05,915
we regulate cemeteries. This is

1447
00:53:05,915 --> 00:53:08,618
there's just some odd ways that

1448
00:53:08,618 --> 00:53:11,254
we currently permit cemeteries

1449
00:53:11,254 --> 00:53:12,522
in the city where they're

1450
00:53:12,522 --> 00:53:13,623
outright allowed in some

1451
00:53:13,623 --> 00:53:14,190
districts. They're

1452
00:53:14,190 --> 00:53:15,258
conditionally parade of others

1453
00:53:15,258 --> 00:53:17,927
are banned and others and it's

1454
00:53:17,927 --> 00:53:19,629
in my profession preventing

1455
00:53:19,629 --> 00:53:23,133
sorry. it's inconsistent. It's

1456
00:53:23,133 --> 00:53:24,834
when looking at how we would

1457
00:53:24,834 --> 00:53:26,236
think where sofaries belong in

1458
00:53:26,236 --> 00:53:28,471
our community or when we should

1459
00:53:28,471 --> 00:53:31,107
allow for them or not. Um it

1460
00:53:31,107 --> 00:53:32,442
didn't make much sense in terms

1461
00:53:32,442 --> 00:53:33,076
of how they would impact the

1462
00:53:33,076 --> 00:53:35,478
case of hand uses or our

1463
00:53:35,478 --> 00:53:37,246
infrastructure and so forth. Uh

1464
00:53:37,246 --> 00:53:39,014
for example, we are proposing

1465
00:53:39,014 --> 00:53:41,184
to add them to the recreation

1466
00:53:41,184 --> 00:53:43,420
district which might seem a bit

1467
00:53:43,420 --> 00:53:47,123
odd but when you think about

1468
00:53:47,123 --> 00:53:49,059
cemeteries in the long run,

1469
00:53:49,059 --> 00:53:51,461
historically, they wore green

1470
00:53:51,461 --> 00:53:53,997
spaces for public use and Quite

1471
00:53:53,997 --> 00:53:55,098
frankly, when they get full,

1472
00:53:55,098 --> 00:53:58,068
when they are dying and and the

1473
00:53:58,068 --> 00:54:00,403
Muslims and and the plaques are

1474
00:54:00,403 --> 00:54:03,473
all used up, they typically

1475
00:54:03,473 --> 00:54:05,040
revert public green space and

1476
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,109
so looking at that and how they

1477
00:54:07,109 --> 00:54:09,011
choose in that way, we are

1478
00:54:09,011 --> 00:54:11,114
proposing to have them

1479
00:54:11,114 --> 00:54:11,614
initially permitted for

1480
00:54:11,614 --> 00:54:13,950
recreational pre-zoned areas.

1481
00:54:13,950 --> 00:54:15,218
Um which will still give the

1482
00:54:15,218 --> 00:54:16,786
public input about whether we

1483
00:54:16,786 --> 00:54:18,088
should or should not allow

1484
00:54:18,088 --> 00:54:20,557
them. Um because once you have

1485
00:54:20,557 --> 00:54:21,891
a cemetery, it typically

1486
00:54:21,891 --> 00:54:22,892
doesn't go away. So, it's

1487
00:54:22,892 --> 00:54:23,526
definitely something I want to

1488
00:54:23,526 --> 00:54:25,128
talk about before we just allow

1489
00:54:25,128 --> 00:54:27,062
for cemeteries anywhere and

1490
00:54:27,062 --> 00:54:31,935
everywhere Um we're also

1491
00:54:31,935 --> 00:54:33,569
expanding institutional uses to

1492
00:54:33,569 --> 00:54:35,204
the technology district. That's

1493
00:54:35,204 --> 00:54:36,539
important because it covers

1494
00:54:36,539 --> 00:54:38,608
hospitals and we just had lawn

1495
00:54:38,608 --> 00:54:40,510
health open a small facility

1496
00:54:40,510 --> 00:54:42,578
there which qualified under a

1497
00:54:42,578 --> 00:54:44,080
different legal definition. But

1498
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:45,415
just to make sure in case they

1499
00:54:45,415 --> 00:54:47,016
change their business approach,

1500
00:54:47,016 --> 00:54:48,718
those uses are covered and can

1501
00:54:48,718 --> 00:54:52,088
be permitted going forward. We

1502
00:54:52,088 --> 00:54:52,688
adjusted animal grooming

1503
00:54:52,688 --> 00:54:54,391
boarding to kind of match up

1504
00:54:54,391 --> 00:54:56,091
with animal care facilities in

1505
00:54:56,091 --> 00:55:00,463
a way that made sense. Um

1506
00:55:00,463 --> 00:55:03,266
We adjusted one small

1507
00:55:03,266 --> 00:55:04,534
adjustment, the bars and

1508
00:55:04,534 --> 00:55:05,602
nightclubs make them

1509
00:55:05,602 --> 00:55:06,269
conditionally permitted in main

1510
00:55:06,269 --> 00:55:08,170
corridor commercial as we

1511
00:55:08,170 --> 00:55:10,907
already have a few in those

1512
00:55:10,907 --> 00:55:12,908
districts. Um and the and that

1513
00:55:12,908 --> 00:55:14,778
is a higher intensity

1514
00:55:14,778 --> 00:55:16,012
commercial district. They will

1515
00:55:16,012 --> 00:55:17,580
remain prohibited and the

1516
00:55:17,580 --> 00:55:21,017
neighborhood mischief district.

1517
00:55:21,017 --> 00:55:23,886
Five. and you can see how

1518
00:55:23,886 --> 00:55:25,054
there's a highlight of them in

1519
00:55:25,054 --> 00:55:25,855
yellow as we've made

1520
00:55:25,855 --> 00:55:27,457
adjustments to this. Um there

1521
00:55:27,457 --> 00:55:31,527
is a correction that for we

1522
00:55:31,527 --> 00:55:35,298
made a typo in our earlier. Um

1523
00:55:35,298 --> 00:55:36,632
so many code and didn't catch

1524
00:55:36,632 --> 00:55:38,100
it but convenient stores with

1525
00:55:38,100 --> 00:55:39,669
fuel sales should always have

1526
00:55:39,669 --> 00:55:40,904
been prohibited for

1527
00:55:40,904 --> 00:55:42,638
neighborhood mixed use and we

1528
00:55:42,638 --> 00:55:44,773
just made a type out of an

1529
00:55:44,773 --> 00:55:46,275
accidentally put a conditional

1530
00:55:46,275 --> 00:55:48,311
use allowance there so we're

1531
00:55:48,311 --> 00:55:49,545
proposing to strike back and

1532
00:55:49,545 --> 00:55:52,982
remove that. Then for example

1533
00:55:52,982 --> 00:55:55,485
where some of the older

1534
00:55:55,485 --> 00:55:57,220
regulations that we're

1535
00:55:57,220 --> 00:55:58,321
proposing to address it makes

1536
00:55:58,321 --> 00:56:00,056
sense to get on the restaurants

1537
00:56:00,056 --> 00:56:01,023
and restaurant lounges. Uh you

1538
00:56:01,023 --> 00:56:02,291
can have a restaurant with

1539
00:56:02,291 --> 00:56:04,060
alcohol sales in the technology

1540
00:56:04,060 --> 00:56:05,895
district but you get to have a

1541
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:08,898
restaurant.

1542
00:56:08,898 --> 00:56:10,433
and there were items like this

1543
00:56:10,433 --> 00:56:13,002
that were very nonsensical. So,

1544
00:56:13,002 --> 00:56:14,904
we're proposing to adjust that.

1545
00:56:14,904 --> 00:56:19,008
Um hopefully bring that in line

1546
00:56:19,008 --> 00:56:20,376
with what we believe is a

1547
00:56:20,376 --> 00:56:22,145
reasonable and fair and just

1548
00:56:22,145 --> 00:56:27,183
use of land. Then I think

1549
00:56:27,183 --> 00:56:28,284
that's it for the most part

1550
00:56:28,284 --> 00:56:29,785
other than the minor vessels

1551
00:56:29,785 --> 00:56:30,954
but few other definitions. This

1552
00:56:30,954 --> 00:56:32,421
is something that the staff is

1553
00:56:32,421 --> 00:56:34,057
also looking for input input

1554
00:56:34,057 --> 00:56:35,124
from you all as the

1555
00:56:35,124 --> 00:56:37,560
commissioners. I think the more

1556
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,163
tans we have on, where we allow

1557
00:56:40,163 --> 00:56:41,364
for uses and don't allow for

1558
00:56:41,364 --> 00:56:43,232
uses is important. Um so, if

1559
00:56:43,232 --> 00:56:44,600
there is a discussion on this

1560
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,969
or comment to the public, I

1561
00:56:46,969 --> 00:56:48,605
would be happy to hear about

1562
00:56:48,605 --> 00:56:50,006
from you all or if there's any

1563
00:56:50,006 --> 00:56:51,274
concerns with some of these

1564
00:56:51,274 --> 00:56:52,675
proposals. Uh that's all I

1565
00:56:52,675 --> 00:56:54,677
have. Questions or comments

1566
00:56:54,677 --> 00:56:55,477
from the commissioners? What's

1567
00:56:55,477 --> 00:56:57,646
the District is the hospital

1568
00:56:57,646 --> 00:57:01,217
in. Um one Alex Carroll State

1569
00:57:01,217 --> 00:57:05,889
University? Yeah. It is in the

1570
00:57:05,889 --> 00:57:07,924
education district currently.

1571
00:57:07,924 --> 00:57:09,459
Although we are proposing to

1572
00:57:09,459 --> 00:57:10,593
bring it into the university

1573
00:57:10,593 --> 00:57:12,394
district when we create that

1574
00:57:12,394 --> 00:57:13,896
district in Zen and then later

1575
00:57:13,896 --> 00:57:18,902
on.

1576
00:57:18,902 --> 00:57:21,204
Okay, nobody's covered. I have

1577
00:57:21,204 --> 00:57:24,307
some more questions. Any other

1578
00:57:24,307 --> 00:57:27,443
questions are coming? just a

1579
00:57:27,443 --> 00:57:32,682
question. Every time I get my

1580
00:57:32,682 --> 00:57:35,885
new please journal and report.

1581
00:57:35,885 --> 00:57:37,420
four different grants are given

1582
00:57:37,420 --> 00:57:39,088
out to different from the state

1583
00:57:39,088 --> 00:57:41,290
and our faith. Are you still

1584
00:57:41,290 --> 00:57:44,594
applying for those Yes, and

1585
00:57:44,594 --> 00:57:46,029
particularly, I want to try to

1586
00:57:46,029 --> 00:57:47,663
achieve obtaining one of those

1587
00:57:47,663 --> 00:57:50,065
grants for some improvements to

1588
00:57:50,065 --> 00:57:53,036
our streetscaping and and civil

1589
00:57:53,036 --> 00:57:54,603
infrastructure in order. One of

1590
00:57:54,603 --> 00:57:55,805
the issues that that brought up

1591
00:57:55,805 --> 00:57:57,005
to me while here as a director

1592
00:57:57,005 --> 00:57:59,441
is about how it's it is

1593
00:57:59,441 --> 00:58:01,044
difficult to walk around.

1594
00:58:01,044 --> 00:58:02,011
Sometimes, especially if you

1595
00:58:02,011 --> 00:58:02,679
don't have places to sit down

1596
00:58:02,679 --> 00:58:06,049
or rest or good crosswalks or

1597
00:58:06,049 --> 00:58:07,716
safe sidewalks and so we have

1598
00:58:07,716 --> 00:58:09,886
applied but we have not at this

1599
00:58:09,886 --> 00:58:12,555
time received. I think they

1600
00:58:12,555 --> 00:58:13,689
came the ones out for this

1601
00:58:13,689 --> 00:58:14,356
year. I've I've saw in

1602
00:58:14,356 --> 00:58:18,560
December, Parkersburg. you

1603
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,531
know, two hundreds. So, I just

1604
00:58:21,531 --> 00:58:24,968
was

1605
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,036
You know, we will continue to

1606
00:58:27,036 --> 00:58:28,537
seek those out. Um we find it

1607
00:58:28,537 --> 00:58:29,371
very valuable for our

1608
00:58:29,371 --> 00:58:36,546
community. Thank you. up to Any

1609
00:58:36,546 --> 00:58:37,713

Article three?

1615
00:58:48,992 --> 00:58:51,961
Is there anyone here opposed to

1616
00:58:51,961 --> 00:58:56,466

00:58:56,466 --> 00:58:58,935

1635
00:59:44,913 --> 00:59:46,482
have one? At this point in

1636
00:59:46,482 --> 00:59:48,116
time, no citizen has submitted

1637
00:59:48,116 --> 00:59:49,752
a petition to the County

1638
00:59:49,752 --> 00:59:52,021
Commission. Alright thing

1639
00:59:52,021 --> 00:59:54,623
listed on a new business We

1640
00:59:54,623 --> 00:59:56,058
have any citizens petitions to

1641
00:59:56,058 --> 00:59:59,962
hear. First, I don't believe

1642
00:59:59,962 --> 01:00:00,596
anybody's signed up. Is that

1643
01:00:00,596 --> 01:00:03,266
correct? No, mister president.

1644
01:00:03,266 --> 01:00:05,334
Let me sign up. Commissioner

1645
01:00:05,334 --> 01:00:06,636
comments. Commission

1646
01:00:06,636 --> 01:00:11,073
Richardson, start with you. If

1647
01:00:11,073 --> 01:00:12,641
you really want to hear it.

1648
01:00:12,641 --> 01:00:15,978
Sure.

1649
01:00:15,978 --> 01:00:17,546
Uh it's good to see everyone

1650
01:00:17,546 --> 01:00:21,584
today in good health and I will

1651
01:00:21,584 --> 01:00:23,086
try and do the best that I can

1652
01:00:23,086 --> 01:00:25,220
as being a VP of the Planning

1653
01:00:25,220 --> 01:00:28,891
Commission. Miss Ventura,

1654
01:00:28,891 --> 01:00:29,659
y'all, I've got nothing to

1655
01:00:29,659 --> 01:00:33,062
think. Mister Bledsoe, I just

1656
01:00:33,062 --> 01:00:36,131
like to say thanks to Shay and

1657
01:00:36,131 --> 01:00:38,600
his department, as well as

1658
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,036
Valerie and all departments for

1659
01:00:40,036 --> 01:00:41,070
all the work they put into

1660
01:00:41,070 --> 01:00:42,505
this. Between the capital

1661
01:00:42,505 --> 01:00:43,940
improvement plan, which I know

1662
01:00:43,940 --> 01:00:46,642
is just one part of a big

1663
01:00:46,642 --> 01:00:49,044
budget. That's what we have to

1664
01:00:49,044 --> 01:00:51,046
do with every year. Um, lot of

1665
01:00:51,046 --> 01:00:53,216
work with Nevada Pagan. And I

1666
01:00:53,216 --> 01:00:53,816
just like to thank you for

1667
01:00:53,816 --> 01:00:55,284
things like this. This, this is

1668
01:00:55,284 --> 01:00:57,186
very detailed, very

1669
01:00:57,186 --> 01:00:57,786
informative, and you do an

1670
01:00:57,786 --> 01:01:00,189
amazing job you and your people

1671
01:01:00,189 --> 01:01:01,524
do a major job of keeping us a

1672
01:01:01,524 --> 01:01:04,160
voice. Thank you. Thank you,

1673
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,130
Commission I would like very

1674
01:01:07,130 --> 01:01:09,098
historical words out of my

1675
01:01:09,098 --> 01:01:10,867
mouth. So, I will just second

1676
01:01:10,867 --> 01:01:11,534
everything that you just said.

1677
01:01:11,534 --> 01:01:14,470
I I've done a much less

1678
01:01:14,470 --> 01:01:16,171
detailed concrete or capital

1679
01:01:16,171 --> 01:01:18,574
improvement plan before and I

1680
01:01:18,574 --> 01:01:21,310
can't imagine to work your

1681
01:01:21,310 --> 01:01:25,548
Mister Wing No, I've heard with

1682
01:01:25,548 --> 01:01:27,049
what you both have said and

1683
01:01:27,049 --> 01:01:29,518
your your report here was very

1684
01:01:29,518 --> 01:01:31,154
impressive as well. So,

1685
01:01:31,154 --> 01:01:33,122

1686
01:01:33,122 --> 01:01:33,789
the hard work for all of you.

1687
01:01:33,789 --> 01:01:36,024
Thank you. Mister Ann. No

1688
01:01:36,024 --> 01:01:38,995
comments. Mister Strait. Uh

1689
01:01:38,995 --> 01:01:44,901
third, what you said?

1690
01:01:44,901 --> 01:01:50,039
Well said Alright. Moving on to

1691
01:01:50,039 --> 01:01:51,974
planning and development annual

1692
01:01:51,974 --> 01:01:55,444
report which is

1693
01:01:55,444 --> 01:01:58,647
your color is cocky picture of

1694
01:01:58,647 --> 01:02:03,019
the bridge.

1695
01:02:03,019 --> 01:02:04,320
And the sheriff, turn this over

1696
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:06,189
to you. Again, And yes, thank

1697
01:02:06,189 --> 01:02:08,457
you Mister President. I I'm not

1698
01:02:08,457 --> 01:02:09,191
going to go through this annual

1699
01:02:09,191 --> 01:02:11,660
report in detail. Um but I do

1700
01:02:11,660 --> 01:02:13,129
just want to make a couple

1701
01:02:13,129 --> 01:02:15,565
notes. This is a requirement

1702
01:02:15,565 --> 01:02:16,899
from the state government.

1703
01:02:16,899 --> 01:02:19,234
However, not to this degree. We

1704
01:02:19,234 --> 01:02:20,569
are required to report to you

1705
01:02:20,569 --> 01:02:22,038
all as the Planning Commission,

1706
01:02:22,038 --> 01:02:24,540
the city's progress on anything

1707
01:02:24,540 --> 01:02:25,908
related to your curfew. So,

1708
01:02:25,908 --> 01:02:28,444
whether that's improvement

1709
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:30,046
plan, our comprehensive plan,

1710
01:02:30,046 --> 01:02:31,480
and anything else related to

1711
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:34,150
the work that you all do. Um

1712
01:02:34,150 --> 01:02:35,484
but the Satan a step further

1713
01:02:35,484 --> 01:02:38,053
and I although she's not here

1714
01:02:38,053 --> 01:02:39,689
at the moment, I want to thank

1715
01:02:39,689 --> 01:02:42,024
the city manager, Valerie

1716
01:02:42,024 --> 01:02:43,859
Means, because she had brought

1717
01:02:43,859 --> 01:02:45,695
forward to our departments that

1718
01:02:45,695 --> 01:02:47,563
she wanted to do what's called

1719
01:02:47,563 --> 01:02:49,632
KPIs, key performance

1720
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:50,967
indicators for each department

1721
01:02:50,967 --> 01:02:53,603
and the year twenty twenty-two,

1722
01:02:53,603 --> 01:02:54,270
and planning development

1723
01:02:54,270 --> 01:02:55,638
decided to get ahead of summer,

1724
01:02:55,638 --> 01:02:56,605
because we already had report

1725
01:02:56,605 --> 01:02:58,274
out to you annually, even

1726
01:02:58,274 --> 01:02:59,041
though we might not have done

1727
01:02:59,041 --> 01:03:00,443
it in the past, we are making

1728
01:03:00,443 --> 01:03:01,810
sure that this gets done going

1729
01:03:01,810 --> 01:03:05,013
forward, and so, We have put

1730
01:03:05,013 --> 01:03:07,817
together a more more

1731
01:03:07,817 --> 01:03:10,252
comprehensive review of all the

1732
01:03:10,252 --> 01:03:11,954
work our department has done

1733
01:03:11,954 --> 01:03:13,155
and the city has done related

1734
01:03:13,155 --> 01:03:16,058
to Ural's work and you're

1735
01:03:16,058 --> 01:03:18,794
advising of us as a city. So,

1736
01:03:18,794 --> 01:03:21,297
if we go to the first KPI chart

1737
01:03:21,297 --> 01:03:24,033
here, just want to touch on a

1738
01:03:24,033 --> 01:03:24,934
couple things that we're

1739
01:03:24,934 --> 01:03:27,670
looking forward to. We did only

1740
01:03:27,670 --> 01:03:31,240
have three additional use

1741
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:32,642
permits within twenty

1742
01:03:32,642 --> 01:03:34,844
twenty-one So we did see a

1743
01:03:34,844 --> 01:03:36,812
decline to 2019 and potentially

1744
01:03:36,812 --> 01:03:38,514
earlier years in those. Those

1745
01:03:38,514 --> 01:03:40,282
can say to you as a staff

1746
01:03:40,282 --> 01:03:41,951
member for the BZA We're

1747
01:03:41,951 --> 01:03:44,553
primarily around non-conforming

1748
01:03:44,553 --> 01:03:47,023
uses and where businesses will

1749
01:03:47,023 --> 01:03:49,925
change their non-conforming use

1750
01:03:49,925 --> 01:03:53,161
status. So, one example was we

1751
01:03:53,161 --> 01:03:53,795
had a printing company go out

1752
01:03:53,795 --> 01:03:56,966
of business and a very large

1753
01:03:56,966 --> 01:03:59,201
retailer got approved to move

1754
01:03:59,201 --> 01:04:00,436
into their old building which

1755
01:04:00,436 --> 01:04:02,805
was much larger than what's

1756
01:04:02,805 --> 01:04:03,572
permitted in that zoning

1757
01:04:03,572 --> 01:04:05,975
district but because it was a

1758
01:04:05,975 --> 01:04:08,477
printing business before. Uh

1759
01:04:08,477 --> 01:04:11,047
it's a very large building and

1760
01:04:11,047 --> 01:04:12,481
they got approved to move into

1761
01:04:12,481 --> 01:04:15,551
that following they had to meet

1762
01:04:15,551 --> 01:04:19,355
several conditions. Uh in order

1763
01:04:19,355 --> 01:04:21,724
to get that approval. We had

1764
01:04:21,724 --> 01:04:27,763
nine variants requests

1765
01:04:27,763 --> 01:04:30,899
which

1766
01:04:30,899 --> 01:04:34,470
our target and why we've been

1767
01:04:34,470 --> 01:04:39,075
working so aggressively with

1768
01:04:39,075 --> 01:04:42,411
some zoning code

1769
01:04:42,411 --> 01:04:51,087
updates is zero. We would

1770
01:04:51,087 --> 01:04:55,725
ideally, in an ideal year,

1771
01:04:55,725 --> 01:05:01,830
never have a variance need. If

1772
01:05:01,830 --> 01:05:06,402
we have a zone to code that's

1773
01:05:06,402 --> 01:05:08,404
written well enough, there

1774
01:05:08,404 --> 01:05:12,108
should not be a need for

1775
01:05:12,108 --> 01:05:16,812
variants. We should have office

1776
01:05:16,812 --> 01:05:23,352
durations built in to hopefully

1777
01:05:23,352 --> 01:05:29,592
create fair, just use of land

1778
01:05:29,592 --> 01:05:33,262
for all of our citizens and

1779
01:05:33,262 --> 01:05:37,233
businesses.

1780
01:05:37,233 --> 01:05:43,238
We had no appeals, which is

1781
01:05:43,238 --> 01:05:47,476
always good too. Um, and then,

1782
01:05:47,476 --> 01:05:48,144
of course, as you all know, we

1783
01:05:48,144 --> 01:05:48,811
did thirteen zoning code text

1784
01:05:48,811 --> 01:05:49,478
amendments last year which is

1785
01:05:49,478 --> 01:05:50,179
very substantial. Um so, we did

1786
01:05:50,179 --> 01:05:50,746
a lot of work last year.

1787
01:05:50,746 --> 01:05:51,413
Everyone together to get that

1788
01:05:51,413 --> 01:05:52,081
through and we appreciate that.

1789
01:05:52,081 --> 01:05:52,648
We did We did nine minor

1790
01:05:52,648 --> 01:05:53,282
subdivisions. So, not as many

1791
01:05:53,282 --> 01:05:53,949
as we think we had anticipated

1792
01:05:53,949 --> 01:05:54,550
even but we'll see how that

1793
01:05:54,550 --> 01:05:55,184
goes moving forward and just

1794
01:05:55,184 --> 01:05:55,784
because we're development has

1795
01:05:55,784 --> 01:05:56,485
been slowed down because of the

1796
01:05:56,485 --> 01:06:00,589
pandemic. So, we do expect an

1797
01:06:00,589 --> 01:06:04,459
uptake as people merge and

1798
01:06:04,459 --> 01:06:08,597
divide their property. So,

1799
01:06:08,597 --> 01:06:13,636
that's what that covers mostly.

1800
01:06:13,636 --> 01:06:17,473
Uh we had no major

1801
01:06:17,473 --> 01:06:19,608
subdivisions for the third year

1802
01:06:19,608 --> 01:06:23,312
in a row. Um we had several

1803
01:06:23,312 --> 01:06:27,516
that were pending and we're

1804
01:06:27,516 --> 01:06:29,618
wanting to apply when they did

1805
01:06:29,618 --> 01:06:33,922
not come forward. So, we'll see

1806
01:06:33,922 --> 01:06:34,590
twenty twenty-two holds any of

1807
01:06:34,590 --> 01:06:35,190
those because those directly

1808
01:06:35,190 --> 01:06:35,857
come to you all. Uh we have

1809
01:06:35,857 --> 01:06:36,491
initial review in our office

1810
01:06:36,491 --> 01:06:37,092
and run through some either

1811
01:06:37,092 --> 01:06:37,793
concerns or comments with them

1812
01:06:37,793 --> 01:06:38,393
and then but ultimately, you

1813
01:06:38,393 --> 01:06:39,061
all make the recommendation for

1814
01:06:39,061 --> 01:06:39,728
their approval or disapproval.

1815
01:06:39,728 --> 01:06:40,429
So, if we do have any, they'll

1816
01:06:40,429 --> 01:06:41,129
be coming before you. We have

1817
01:06:41,129 --> 01:06:42,097
no abandonments last year which

1818
01:06:42,097 --> 01:06:45,634
was a significant decrease from

1819
01:06:45,634 --> 01:06:51,340
the prior year where we had

1820
01:06:51,340 --> 01:06:55,510
seven applications for rideway

1821
01:06:55,510 --> 01:06:59,447
managements and we did no

1822
01:06:59,447 --> 01:07:03,419
annexations in 2021 a year. Uh

1823
01:07:03,419 --> 01:07:04,053
the APRC was a little busier

1824
01:07:04,053 --> 01:07:05,254
than normal. We had a lot of signs going up in

1825
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:05,888
downtown. That's mostly what

1826
01:07:05,888 --> 01:07:06,555
they covered but also a couple

1827
01:07:06,555 --> 01:07:07,223
of renovations and some hopeful

1828
01:07:07,223 --> 01:07:07,890
additions to new businesses. We

1829
01:07:07,890 --> 01:07:08,557
hope to see you in the coming

1830
01:07:08,557 --> 01:07:09,258
future. Um so, the king one, we

1831
01:07:09,258 --> 01:07:09,959
continue to see an increase in

1832
01:07:09,959 --> 01:07:10,593
time and death permits because

1833
01:07:10,593 --> 01:07:12,394
of pandemic. Um and our office

1834
01:07:12,394 --> 01:07:13,028
has also been vigilant about

1835
01:07:13,028 --> 01:07:13,695
issuing what we call a zoning

1836
01:07:13,695 --> 01:07:14,363
verification letter where that

1837
01:07:14,363 --> 01:07:14,930
is something we give to

1838
01:07:14,930 --> 01:07:15,631
realtors or property buyers or

1839
01:07:15,631 --> 01:07:17,666
potential business owners to

1840
01:07:17,666 --> 01:07:23,372
let them know what the zoning

1841
01:07:23,372 --> 01:07:27,109
regulations are for particular

1842
01:07:27,109 --> 01:07:31,713
property within the city. So, I

1843
01:07:31,713 --> 01:07:33,882
mean, either gives them peace

1844
01:07:33,882 --> 01:07:38,087
of mind or clarification that

1845
01:07:38,087 --> 01:07:42,091
what they're proposing is a

1846
01:07:42,091 --> 01:07:48,264
conditional use or prohibited.

1847
01:07:48,264 --> 01:07:52,568
Um so, we issued a lot of those

1848
01:07:52,568 --> 01:07:56,271
last years. Our department is

1849
01:07:56,271 --> 01:07:56,972
do grants. Um applying for 1. 9

1850
01:07:56,972 --> 01:07:57,639
million. Two of those which is

1851
01:07:57,639 --> 01:07:58,240
a substantial part of that

1852
01:07:58,240 --> 01:07:58,941
amount will not be announced or

1853
01:07:58,941 --> 01:07:59,541
awarded until this calendar

1854
01:07:59,541 --> 01:08:00,108
year. But we did receive a

1855
01:08:00,108 --> 01:08:00,776
hundred and sixty-nine thousand

1856
01:08:00,776 --> 01:08:01,443
five dollars in grants. Um in

1857
01:08:01,443 --> 01:08:02,077
2021. So we are and the city

1858
01:08:02,077 --> 01:08:02,778
chartered our department is

1859
01:08:02,778 --> 01:08:06,048
primarily responsible for grant

1860
01:08:06,048 --> 01:08:09,317
writing and management for the

1861
01:08:09,317 --> 01:08:14,390
city. So and well it usually

1862
01:08:14,390 --> 01:08:17,660
impacts the stuff you all

1863
01:08:17,660 --> 01:08:19,328
approved in confidence plank.

1864
01:08:19,328 --> 01:08:19,962
And then, we also had a a

1865
01:08:19,962 --> 01:08:20,529
increase in our marketing

1866
01:08:20,529 --> 01:08:21,197
communications efforts. Um we

1867
01:08:21,197 --> 01:08:21,730
have increased usage of

1868
01:08:21,730 --> 01:08:22,331
multiple platforms and even

1869
01:08:22,331 --> 01:08:22,965
started a podcast to help get

1870
01:08:22,965 --> 01:08:23,499
information out about how

1871
01:08:23,499 --> 01:08:28,603
Search City Services work and

1872
01:08:28,603 --> 01:08:34,276
certain departments or our

1873
01:08:34,276 --> 01:08:36,578
partnering organizations as

1874
01:08:36,578 --> 01:08:44,220
well. Such as today, an episode

1875
01:08:44,220 --> 01:08:48,890
was released about the Fairmont

1876
01:08:48,890 --> 01:08:51,026
Community Development

1877
01:08:51,026 --> 01:08:56,265
Partnership. And the work that

1878
01:08:56,265 --> 01:09:00,235
they do as a nonprofit for the

1879
01:09:00,235 --> 01:09:05,441
city to advance affordable

1880
01:09:05,441 --> 01:09:08,677
business space and housing for

1881
01:09:08,677 --> 01:09:09,245
our citizen So, you can see

1882
01:09:09,245 --> 01:09:09,879
those numbers there and as was

1883
01:09:09,879 --> 01:09:10,513
already in the works, we are

1884
01:09:10,513 --> 01:09:11,180
expanding our social media work

1885
01:09:11,180 --> 01:09:11,714
for the year of twenty

1886
01:09:11,714 --> 01:09:12,414
twenty-two The report then goes

1887
01:09:12,414 --> 01:09:13,082
into individual projects. Um I

1888
01:09:13,082 --> 01:09:13,816
won't go with them item by item

1889
01:09:13,816 --> 01:09:14,450
but I just want to touch on a

1890
01:09:14,450 --> 01:09:15,117
couple real quick and primarily

1891
01:09:15,117 --> 01:09:15,718
around the rail trail. Our

1892
01:09:15,718 --> 01:09:18,420
department did a lot of work to

1893
01:09:18,420 --> 01:09:20,723
prepare the city for some major

1894
01:09:20,723 --> 01:09:24,692
investment and the rail to

1895
01:09:24,692 --> 01:09:26,028
trail connector through the

1896
01:09:26,028 --> 01:09:26,728
city very long ago. Four and a

1897
01:09:26,728 --> 01:09:27,429
half mile gap and we believe in

1898
01:09:27,429 --> 01:09:28,130
the year of twenty twenty-2, we

1899
01:09:28,130 --> 01:09:28,830
may begin to close up to one to

1900
01:09:28,830 --> 01:09:29,464
two miles of that four and a

1901
01:09:29,464 --> 01:09:30,132
half mile gap. So, we're just

1902
01:09:30,132 --> 01:09:30,799
waiting for a few Few things in

1903
01:09:30,799 --> 01:09:31,500
the works to be finished up and

1904
01:09:31,500 --> 01:09:32,067
then we'll make official

1905
01:09:32,067 --> 01:09:32,701
announcements on exactly where

1906
01:09:32,701 --> 01:09:33,335
and how that's occurring. Um

1907
01:09:33,335 --> 01:09:33,969
design has not been completed

1908
01:09:33,969 --> 01:09:34,636
or anything. We're still at the

1909
01:09:34,636 --> 01:09:35,170
phase of negotiating the

1910
01:09:35,170 --> 01:09:35,771
property for that program.

1911
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:36,438
Which is the biggest hurdle for

1912
01:09:36,438 --> 01:09:37,105
constructing this project. Um

1913
01:09:37,105 --> 01:09:37,773
but we've done a lot related to

1914
01:09:37,773 --> 01:09:38,440
that as well including giving

1915
01:09:38,440 --> 01:09:39,041
out sharers on the road. We

1916
01:09:39,041 --> 01:09:39,641
have new way finding signage

1917
01:09:39,641 --> 01:09:40,309
that public works department's

1918
01:09:40,309 --> 01:09:41,009
going to be putting up here in

1919
01:09:41,009 --> 01:09:41,677
the spring which will help you

1920
01:09:41,677 --> 01:09:42,377
find the rail trail much easier

1921
01:09:42,377 --> 01:09:43,011
and navigate your way now and

1922
01:09:43,011 --> 01:09:43,712
ideally, we hope to get people

1923
01:09:43,712 --> 01:09:44,346
to our commercial corridors.

1924
01:09:44,346 --> 01:09:44,913
Paramount Avenue, downtown,

1925
01:09:44,913 --> 01:09:45,514
Merchant Street, Morgantown

1926
01:09:45,514 --> 01:09:46,214
Avenue, and we want people like

1927
01:09:46,214 --> 01:09:46,882
him. We want them to see our

1928
01:09:46,882 --> 01:09:48,150
businesses, our shops, and the amenities and opportunities

1929
01:09:48,150 --> 01:09:48,817
that Fairmont offers to them.

1930
01:09:48,817 --> 01:09:50,085
So, hopefully they keep coming

1931
01:09:50,085 --> 01:09:50,786
back and visiting if they're

1932
01:09:50,786 --> 01:09:52,221
not from here and just as a

1933
01:09:52,221 --> 01:09:54,622
great point about that, the

1934
01:09:54,622 --> 01:09:56,258
last time I went out for my own

1935
01:09:56,258 --> 01:09:58,259
trail ride as National Cyclist,

1936
01:09:58,259 --> 01:09:59,828
I met a group of five people

1937
01:09:59,828 --> 01:10:01,296
from Washington DC on the east

1938
01:10:01,296 --> 01:10:03,999
side. They came out the city of

1939
01:10:03,999 --> 01:10:05,167
Fairmont for the very first

1940
01:10:05,167 --> 01:10:08,203
time. So, this happens on a and

1941
01:10:08,203 --> 01:10:09,238
that's what Long River Trail

1942
01:10:09,238 --> 01:10:10,539
Conservancy who manages the

1943
01:10:10,539 --> 01:10:12,040
Trail Pass Perfect Sport will

1944
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:13,575
report to. We see a lot of

1945
01:10:13,575 --> 01:10:15,978
tourists that often go

1946
01:10:15,978 --> 01:10:17,579
unnoticed by our businesses and

1947
01:10:17,579 --> 01:10:20,849
citizens and so we're trying to

1948
01:10:20,849 --> 01:10:21,616
make it even better for them to

1949
01:10:21,616 --> 01:10:22,685
get into the city and find

1950
01:10:22,685 --> 01:10:24,018
their businesses and to

1951
01:10:24,018 --> 01:10:25,454
hopefully come back and visit

1952
01:10:25,454 --> 01:10:28,623
and maybe even stay here. Um or

1953
01:10:28,623 --> 01:10:29,291
move here or work here

1954
01:10:29,291 --> 01:10:30,826
eventually. So, we're going to

1955
01:10:30,826 --> 01:10:31,493
continue to work on that. The

1956
01:10:31,493 --> 01:10:35,030
other thing online just now is

1957
01:10:35,030 --> 01:10:37,666
the expansion of our GIS and

1958
01:10:37,666 --> 01:10:39,201
mapping. We're trying to get as

1959
01:10:39,201 --> 01:10:40,836
much information off the public

1960
01:10:40,836 --> 01:10:44,005
as we can and the city expanded

1961
01:10:44,005 --> 01:10:46,975
our online mapping so much that

1962
01:10:46,975 --> 01:10:48,544
the company we do this through

1963
01:10:48,544 --> 01:10:51,080
gives us credits for the data

1964
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,449
that we have to host on their

1965
01:10:53,449 --> 01:10:56,217
servers and we exceeded our

1966
01:10:56,217 --> 01:10:59,955
limit by about four 00 percent.

1967
01:10:59,955 --> 01:11:00,856
This calendar year. Uh we were

1968
01:11:00,856 --> 01:11:03,258
just have as much information

1969
01:11:03,258 --> 01:11:05,427
as we could. Um so, we had to

1970
01:11:05,427 --> 01:11:07,195
actually put a stop on at the

1971
01:11:07,195 --> 01:11:08,464
end of 2021. They have been

1972
01:11:08,464 --> 01:11:10,299
here in 2022. We will wrap that

1973
01:11:10,299 --> 01:11:12,200
up again and continue to get

1974
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:13,569
more stuff out. With population

1975
01:11:13,569 --> 01:11:14,837
density maps, zoning maps,

1976
01:11:14,837 --> 01:11:16,738
urologist positions, and so we

1977
01:11:16,738 --> 01:11:18,040
brings a major subdivision, a

1978
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:19,975
map event to you all, also get

1979
01:11:19,975 --> 01:11:20,709
close to the line for folks to

1980
01:11:20,709 --> 01:11:23,078
see. Um you can see the NBA

1981
01:11:23,078 --> 01:11:24,580
one, the recent one we did is

1982
01:11:24,580 --> 01:11:28,050
on my Invisible Forever One. Um

1983
01:11:28,050 --> 01:11:28,684
same of course, any appeals.

1984
01:11:28,684 --> 01:11:29,985
So, in our most used map and I

1985
01:11:29,985 --> 01:11:32,720
think it's because Election

1986
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:35,924
season's oncoming Is the city

1987
01:11:35,924 --> 01:11:38,727
council's man. actually getting

1988
01:11:38,727 --> 01:11:41,563
a lot of use as of recently. We

1989
01:11:41,563 --> 01:11:43,565
go in to each of the different

1990
01:11:43,565 --> 01:11:45,099
boards and commissions in

1991
01:11:45,099 --> 01:11:47,602
detail. I just want to make one

1992
01:11:47,602 --> 01:11:49,271
note and that's about the Board

1993
01:11:49,271 --> 01:11:52,040
of Zoning Appeals and that when

1994
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,543
they were hearing variances,

1995
01:11:54,543 --> 01:11:57,012
the majority of them had

1996
01:11:57,012 --> 01:11:58,447
conditions placed upon them

1997
01:11:58,447 --> 01:12:03,552
which I think from most legal

1998
01:12:03,552 --> 01:12:04,286
recommendations is a good

1999
01:12:04,286 --> 01:12:05,787
thing. That means more zoning

2000
01:12:05,787 --> 01:12:08,056
fields is a working as intended

2001
01:12:08,056 --> 01:12:09,691
and are holding these propertys

2002
01:12:09,691 --> 01:12:11,393
accountable and trying to set

2003
01:12:11,393 --> 01:12:15,197
the minimum standard required

2004
01:12:15,197 --> 01:12:16,564
when a grant of variance. So,

2005
01:12:16,564 --> 01:12:18,634
they're trying to make sure

2006
01:12:18,634 --> 01:12:19,968
that that when they set these

2007
01:12:19,968 --> 01:12:21,370
conditions, it's usually things

2008
01:12:21,370 --> 01:12:23,071
to try to prevent it like the

2009
01:12:23,071 --> 01:12:24,172
exception to the rule from

2010
01:12:24,172 --> 01:12:25,541
having negative impact on

2011
01:12:25,541 --> 01:12:26,908
someone. So, they have been

2012
01:12:26,908 --> 01:12:28,677
very vigilant about that. I

2013
01:12:28,677 --> 01:12:29,378
think the last time we approved

2014
01:12:29,378 --> 01:12:31,246
anything was a driveway issue

2015
01:12:31,246 --> 01:12:32,448
and I think they put four to

2016
01:12:32,448 --> 01:12:33,648
five conditions on that

2017
01:12:33,648 --> 01:12:36,084
approval that the homeowner had

2018
01:12:36,084 --> 01:12:37,586
to meet just to get the lung

2019
01:12:37,586 --> 01:12:40,655
variants. So, they are doing a

2020
01:12:40,655 --> 01:12:42,558
very good job and are

2021
01:12:42,558 --> 01:12:43,392
respecting the rules that you

2022
01:12:43,392 --> 01:12:44,693
all recommend the city council

2023
01:12:44,693 --> 01:12:46,462
approves. Uh so, I just want to

2024
01:12:46,462 --> 01:12:48,964
shout out to our other

2025
01:12:48,964 --> 01:12:52,401
volunteers who work on the BCA

2026
01:12:52,401 --> 01:12:54,069
There's a target here for the

2027
01:12:54,069 --> 01:12:55,570
summary of the grants that you

2028
01:12:55,570 --> 01:12:58,006
can see we applied for National

2029
01:12:58,006 --> 01:13:00,375
second to last page. or sorry

2030
01:13:00,375 --> 01:13:02,911
third to last page of this

2031
01:13:02,911 --> 01:13:04,613
annual report and as you can

2032
01:13:04,613 --> 01:13:07,449
see, we are trying to obtain

2033
01:13:07,449 --> 01:13:09,651
more grant funding. The

2034
01:13:09,651 --> 01:13:10,986
abandoned nine lambs grant

2035
01:13:10,986 --> 01:13:12,420
relates to rail trails. Um if

2036
01:13:12,420 --> 01:13:14,222
we can secure that from the

2037
01:13:14,222 --> 01:13:16,625
state, we are optimistic and we

2038
01:13:16,625 --> 01:13:17,826
should hear an announcement

2039
01:13:17,826 --> 01:13:19,093
about that spring. It'll be $1.

2040
01:13:19,093 --> 01:13:23,465
4 million dollars for that. He

2041
01:13:23,465 --> 01:13:25,567
has made enough money to build

2042
01:13:25,567 --> 01:13:27,602
the Royal Trail connector

2043
01:13:27,602 --> 01:13:29,104
extension all the way to the

2044
01:13:29,104 --> 01:13:31,706
Kerr Trailhead at the Edgemont

2045
01:13:31,706 --> 01:13:32,908
neighborhood edge, the city

2046
01:13:32,908 --> 01:13:34,343
limits, that makes industrial

2047
01:13:34,343 --> 01:13:35,577
resources, all the way to

2048
01:13:35,577 --> 01:13:37,179
downtown as an independent

2049
01:13:37,179 --> 01:13:38,647
trail. Down one street,

2050
01:13:38,647 --> 01:13:41,083
Roswell. So, that's very

2051
01:13:41,083 --> 01:13:42,484
exciting. if we can obtain that

2052
01:13:42,484 --> 01:13:44,052
funding. It'll also cover for

2053
01:13:44,052 --> 01:13:45,587
the study and the planning of

2054
01:13:45,587 --> 01:13:47,389
Eastside. Uh we're not

2055
01:13:47,389 --> 01:13:49,024
forgetting Eastside. They are a

2056
01:13:49,024 --> 01:13:49,724
critical part of that. We have

2057
01:13:49,724 --> 01:13:50,792
other things in the works too

2058
01:13:50,792 --> 01:13:51,659
on each side where we're trying

2059
01:13:51,659 --> 01:13:55,330
to get that kind

2060
01:13:55,330 --> 01:13:58,066
have that problem but that one

2061
01:13:58,066 --> 01:14:00,469
section of East Side Trail.

2062
01:14:00,469 --> 01:14:03,071
containing the property we are

2063
01:14:03,071 --> 01:14:04,473
working with a multitude of

2064
01:14:04,473 --> 01:14:05,807
partnerships at this moment

2065
01:14:05,807 --> 01:14:07,175
that have come through and are

2066
01:14:07,175 --> 01:14:08,477
assisting the city and trying

2067
01:14:08,477 --> 01:14:10,078
to get that resolved. So, I'm

2068
01:14:10,078 --> 01:14:12,581
very happy to say that. Uh I

2069
01:14:12,581 --> 01:14:13,982
can't because of the

2070
01:14:13,982 --> 01:14:15,984
sensitivity of property

2071
01:14:15,984 --> 01:14:18,086
negotiations on on how to or or

2072
01:14:18,086 --> 01:14:19,187
what is exactly going on in

2073
01:14:19,187 --> 01:14:21,990
that detail but we have we have

2074
01:14:21,990 --> 01:14:23,358
had a lot of people step up to

2075
01:14:23,358 --> 01:14:25,526
the plate to help the city to

2076
01:14:25,526 --> 01:14:27,295
hopefully get that resolved and

2077
01:14:27,295 --> 01:14:39,041
get that quality in trouble.

2078
01:14:39,041 --> 01:14:40,409
it's it's been difficult. We we

2079
01:14:40,409 --> 01:14:41,676
also believe in and this is

2080
01:14:41,676 --> 01:14:44,078
what our department's done. An

2081
01:14:44,078 --> 01:14:45,447
event that we would be

2082
01:14:45,447 --> 01:14:46,081
roadblocked in one particular

2083
01:14:46,081 --> 01:14:47,315
location. We have identified

2084
01:14:47,315 --> 01:14:48,683
two to three alternate routes

2085
01:14:48,683 --> 01:14:49,851
for every section of route

2086
01:14:49,851 --> 01:14:50,986
throughout the city. So, even

2087
01:14:50,986 --> 01:14:53,455
if we get stopped at one place,

2088
01:14:53,455 --> 01:14:54,355
that's fine. We're going to go

2089
01:14:54,355 --> 01:14:56,190
with plan B and then fantasy.

2090
01:14:56,190 --> 01:14:57,593
So, we're not going to let this

2091
01:14:57,593 --> 01:14:59,127
project come to a ground call

2092
01:14:59,127 --> 01:15:01,562
anymore. Um we're also applying

2093
01:15:01,562 --> 01:15:02,998
for another half a million

2094
01:15:02,998 --> 01:15:04,499
dollars in EPA Brownfield

2095
01:15:04,499 --> 01:15:06,134
Assessment Money. Um this can

2096
01:15:06,134 --> 01:15:10,538
be used in a broad array of

2097
01:15:10,538 --> 01:15:13,542
land areas but primarily

2098
01:15:13,542 --> 01:15:14,676
identifymental property made

2099
01:15:14,676 --> 01:15:16,011
the whole buildings to identify

2100
01:15:16,011 --> 01:15:18,580
the asbestos and lead to actual

2101
01:15:18,580 --> 01:15:20,148
like industrial sites to

2102
01:15:20,148 --> 01:15:21,649
identify contaminants and be

2103
01:15:21,649 --> 01:15:22,884
able to identify good and

2104
01:15:22,884 --> 01:15:25,487
healthy reuse of that property.

2105
01:15:25,487 --> 01:15:28,289
Um we had a $400, 000 grant

2106
01:15:28,289 --> 01:15:29,590
before that were just now

2107
01:15:29,590 --> 01:15:31,226
completing and so we're looking

2108
01:15:31,226 --> 01:15:32,394
forward to hopefully being

2109
01:15:32,394 --> 01:15:32,727
awarded this

2110
01:15:32,727 --> 01:15:33,795
half-million-dollar loan which

2111
01:15:33,795 --> 01:15:35,931
has made a substantial impact

2112
01:15:35,931 --> 01:15:38,100
on our community especially on

2113
01:15:38,100 --> 01:15:39,935
commercial properties and then,

2114
01:15:39,935 --> 01:15:41,970
some other smaller grants

2115
01:15:41,970 --> 01:15:42,837
there. You can see some smaller

2116
01:15:42,837 --> 01:15:44,172
dollar amounts but just to

2117
01:15:44,172 --> 01:15:46,474
mention the Bowers, Grant is

2118
01:15:46,474 --> 01:15:47,875
part of what's helping us with

2119
01:15:47,875 --> 01:15:50,412
the playground equipment that

2120
01:15:50,412 --> 01:15:51,612
Valerie had mentioned earlier.

2121
01:15:51,612 --> 01:15:54,182
So, the Bowers organization out

2122
01:15:54,182 --> 01:15:55,450
of Mannington grant us twenty

2123
01:15:55,450 --> 01:15:58,253
000, our playground equipment

2124
01:15:58,253 --> 01:15:59,587
Uh Mick Park had granted us

2125
01:15:59,587 --> 01:16:01,189
about 9 000 to do basketball

2126
01:16:01,189 --> 01:16:02,423
hoops. That's going to go up

2127
01:16:02,423 --> 01:16:04,059
soon at Windmill Rail Trail

2128
01:16:04,059 --> 01:16:06,061
Conservancy gave us two grants

2129
01:16:06,061 --> 01:16:07,495
last year. So, thank you to

2130
01:16:07,495 --> 01:16:08,496
them. Both related to rail

2131
01:16:08,496 --> 01:16:10,966
trail work. We're going

2132
01:16:10,966 --> 01:16:12,233
promotional video and the other

2133
01:16:12,233 --> 01:16:14,102
one is assisting with those

2134
01:16:14,102 --> 01:16:16,271
current property negotiations I

2135
01:16:16,271 --> 01:16:17,606
was mentioning earlier. We're

2136
01:16:17,606 --> 01:16:18,206
trying to acquire the land

2137
01:16:18,206 --> 01:16:20,108
either to build the trail. And

2138
01:16:20,108 --> 01:16:21,943
then we had Cares Act coming

2139
01:16:21,943 --> 01:16:23,078
that the city gave to United

2140
01:16:23,078 --> 01:16:25,647
Way to assist citizens in need

2141
01:16:25,647 --> 01:16:27,115
to prevent their utilities from

2142
01:16:27,115 --> 01:16:28,417
being shut off or from being

2143
01:16:28,417 --> 01:16:30,185
evicted due to not being able

2144
01:16:30,185 --> 01:16:32,120
to make rent during the

2145
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,189
pandemic. Um so that was a

2146
01:16:34,189 --> 01:16:36,324
great thing that God may assist

2147
01:16:36,324 --> 01:16:37,192
us with. I just want to give

2148
01:16:37,192 --> 01:16:39,494
them a thank you as well. Then

2149
01:16:39,494 --> 01:16:41,562
there's a quick overview of

2150
01:16:41,562 --> 01:16:42,998
some charts on marketing

2151
01:16:42,998 --> 01:16:43,598
communications where you can

2152
01:16:43,598 --> 01:16:45,967
see our demographics and our

2153
01:16:45,967 --> 01:16:47,302
outreach on Facebook in

2154
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,737
particular. Uh we didn't we

2155
01:16:49,737 --> 01:16:50,405
couldn't generate the data on

2156
01:16:50,405 --> 01:16:52,574
Instagram. Um because of the

2157
01:16:52,574 --> 01:16:54,075
way the Facebook business suite

2158
01:16:54,075 --> 01:16:56,445
works. We were only able to

2159
01:16:56,445 --> 01:16:58,080
generate the Facebook

2160
01:16:58,080 --> 01:16:59,047
information so we listed that

2161
01:16:59,047 --> 01:17:01,783
here for you all. Um Facebook's

2162
01:17:01,783 --> 01:17:02,417
still approving that. So we're

2163
01:17:02,417 --> 01:17:04,652
hoping we have better crafts

2164
01:17:04,652 --> 01:17:05,953
and things to show you in the

2165
01:17:05,953 --> 01:17:07,822
following year. Um but we've

2166
01:17:07,822 --> 01:17:10,358
given that there just you some

2167
01:17:10,358 --> 01:17:14,963
insight on where people are and

2168
01:17:14,963 --> 01:17:17,665
this is an example 43. 8% of

2169
01:17:17,665 --> 01:17:19,768
people are residents of the

2170
01:17:19,768 --> 01:17:21,269
city of Paramount and we know

2171
01:17:21,269 --> 01:17:22,804
of and so that means through

2172
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:23,971
social media, we're reaching a

2173
01:17:23,971 --> 01:17:25,106
lot of people outside of our

2174
01:17:25,106 --> 01:17:28,109
corporate limits. Which is a

2175
01:17:28,109 --> 01:17:29,511
good thing. We're growing the

2176
01:17:29,511 --> 01:17:30,745
city and and the things

2177
01:17:30,745 --> 01:17:31,980
happening here. So in

2178
01:17:31,980 --> 01:17:34,649
conclusion, I believe that we

2179
01:17:34,649 --> 01:17:35,884
were able to accomplish much

2180
01:17:35,884 --> 01:17:37,585
related to year-old purview and

2181
01:17:37,585 --> 01:17:40,155
the comprehensive plan and

2182
01:17:40,155 --> 01:17:41,155
we're going to continue to

2183
01:17:41,155 --> 01:17:42,491
strive to get all of those

2184
01:17:42,491 --> 01:17:43,224
goals met that you all set for

2185
01:17:43,224 --> 01:17:46,661
the city by 2018. so if there's

2186
01:17:46,661 --> 01:17:49,097
anything in particular that you

2187
01:17:49,097 --> 01:17:51,967
think is a higher priority and

2188
01:17:51,967 --> 01:17:53,635
we need to address in the near

2189
01:17:53,635 --> 01:17:55,136
future. I'd be happy to hear.

2190
01:17:55,136 --> 01:17:57,939
So, if you if you Commission

2191
01:17:57,939 --> 01:17:58,974
ers want any additional

2192
01:17:58,974 --> 01:18:00,442
information reported out in the

2193
01:18:00,442 --> 01:18:02,243
future. Our department will do

2194
01:18:02,243 --> 01:18:03,678
that. So, you please just let

2195
01:18:03,678 --> 01:18:06,982
us know Um I'm basically your

2196
01:18:06,982 --> 01:18:09,050
all secretarian away. So, if

2197
01:18:09,050 --> 01:18:11,118
you want it, we'll get it and

2198
01:18:11,118 --> 01:18:12,720
I'll make sure to report out to

2199
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:14,990
you all now. So, nobody can

2200
01:18:14,990 --> 01:18:17,492
keep you all too long. Um

2201
01:18:17,492 --> 01:18:19,160
That's fine. Not so brief

2202
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:20,462
summary of the end of the

2203
01:18:20,462 --> 01:18:23,197
report. Anyone have any

2204
01:18:23,197 --> 01:18:27,936
questions for Shey about that?

2205
01:18:27,936 --> 01:18:30,504
Alright. The last thing on the

2206
01:18:30,504 --> 01:18:37,012
agenda, stack up case.

2207
01:18:37,012 --> 01:18:40,916
Yep. talking about going

2208
01:18:40,916 --> 01:18:42,551
forward and what we want to

2209
01:18:42,551 --> 01:18:44,119
accomplish in 2022. I just

2210
01:18:44,119 --> 01:18:45,587
want to let you all know what

2211
01:18:45,587 --> 01:18:47,922
we're putting our eye on and

2212
01:18:47,922 --> 01:18:50,392
hoping to accomplish. We are

2213
01:18:50,392 --> 01:18:53,094
hoping to completely revise the

2214
01:18:53,094 --> 01:18:56,031
city sign regulations. Um most

2215
01:18:56,031 --> 01:18:57,832
businesses do not find the way

2216
01:18:57,832 --> 01:18:58,532
the rules are currently

2217
01:18:58,532 --> 01:19:00,067
written, conducive, and easy to

2218
01:19:00,067 --> 01:19:01,703
understand. Um that's usually

2219
01:19:01,703 --> 01:19:03,972
one voice contentious point

2220
01:19:03,972 --> 01:19:05,340
when I help a new business

2221
01:19:05,340 --> 01:19:07,175
owner open their business is

2222
01:19:07,175 --> 01:19:09,144
trying to understand and

2223
01:19:09,144 --> 01:19:10,011
navigate our sign regulations.

2224
01:19:10,011 --> 01:19:13,481
So, we'd to revise those and

2225
01:19:13,481 --> 01:19:15,016
format them in a way that's

2226
01:19:15,016 --> 01:19:18,587
easier and tell you what we're considering what we have

2227
01:19:18,587 --> 01:19:20,121
a draft form of already but

2228
01:19:20,121 --> 01:19:21,456
it's not vitalized.

2229
01:19:21,456 --> 01:19:22,490
Essentially, if you want to

2230
01:19:22,490 --> 01:19:24,058
sign, it'll be a one-page of

2231
01:19:24,058 --> 01:19:25,693
information. If you want a wall

2232
01:19:25,693 --> 01:19:27,328
sign, you'll print off one

2233
01:19:27,328 --> 01:19:28,463
sheet of paper that will tell

2234
01:19:28,463 --> 01:19:29,363
you everything you need to know

2235
01:19:29,363 --> 01:19:30,899
about Wallside. If you want a

2236
01:19:30,899 --> 01:19:32,099
free standing sign, you

2237
01:19:32,099 --> 01:19:33,634
prevent, you print one sheet of

2238
01:19:33,634 --> 01:19:35,236
paper about that or projecting

2239
01:19:35,236 --> 01:19:37,072
someone or illuminative sign.

2240
01:19:37,072 --> 01:19:38,707
So, we can say, hey, what type

2241
01:19:38,707 --> 01:19:39,407
of signs you're interested as a

2242
01:19:39,407 --> 01:19:41,042
business center? We can just

2243
01:19:41,042 --> 01:19:41,642
print you off a little one

2244
01:19:41,642 --> 01:19:42,677
pages and hand them to those

2245
01:19:42,677 --> 01:19:44,479
business owners so they can

2246
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:46,580
easily make the best decisions

2247
01:19:46,580 --> 01:19:48,182
for their business and and feel

2248
01:19:48,182 --> 01:19:51,186
like they understand what we're

2249
01:19:51,186 --> 01:19:51,853
asking them what they can and

2250
01:19:51,853 --> 01:19:53,654
cannot do. So, we're hoping to

2251
01:19:53,654 --> 01:19:55,256
get to that. Um as well, some

2252
01:19:55,256 --> 01:19:56,758
of our sign standards are out

2253
01:19:56,758 --> 01:19:58,693
of date based upon US Supreme

2254
01:19:58,693 --> 01:20:00,094
Court decisions recently. So,

2255
01:20:00,094 --> 01:20:01,529
we are looking to get those

2256
01:20:01,529 --> 01:20:03,198
updated to be in line with

2257
01:20:03,198 --> 01:20:04,299
those Supreme Court decisions.

2258
01:20:04,299 --> 01:20:05,767
So, does not invalidate our

2259
01:20:05,767 --> 01:20:07,134
current sign code. It just

2260
01:20:07,134 --> 01:20:08,470
means we have to be extra

2261
01:20:08,470 --> 01:20:09,838
concerned in the way we address

2262
01:20:09,838 --> 01:20:12,007
certain types of defined signs

2263
01:20:12,007 --> 01:20:12,674
at this point in time. So, are

2264
01:20:12,674 --> 01:20:15,977
you looking make making the

2265
01:20:15,977 --> 01:20:17,479
codes just easier to understand

2266
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:18,246
or he's looking at other than

2267
01:20:18,246 --> 01:20:20,247
the Supreme Court is used. Are

2268
01:20:20,247 --> 01:20:21,583
you looking at changing any of

2269
01:20:21,583 --> 01:20:24,052
these regulations because I I

2270
01:20:24,052 --> 01:20:26,054
think we've got some really

2271
01:20:26,054 --> 01:20:28,423
restrictive side ordinances in

2272
01:20:28,423 --> 01:20:30,157
Fairmont. They really prohibit

2273
01:20:30,157 --> 01:20:33,561
business from being able to

2274
01:20:33,561 --> 01:20:34,863
make their own business visible

2275
01:20:34,863 --> 01:20:36,631
and advertise. I mean, I'm not

2276
01:20:36,631 --> 01:20:39,000
looking at Las Vegas but I

2277
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:39,634
think our side movements is a

2278
01:20:39,634 --> 01:20:42,904
really We are looking to change

2279
01:20:42,904 --> 01:20:44,406
some regulations and not just

2280
01:20:44,406 --> 01:20:45,273
to make it more readable and

2281
01:20:45,273 --> 01:20:47,075
user friendly but we are

2282
01:20:47,075 --> 01:20:48,476
looking to amend some standards

2283
01:20:48,476 --> 01:20:49,377
and I can't say at this point

2284
01:20:49,377 --> 01:20:51,179
in time whether I believe that

2285
01:20:51,179 --> 01:20:52,580
will be more permissive or less

2286
01:20:52,580 --> 01:20:54,248
permissive. I think it will be

2287
01:20:54,248 --> 01:20:55,483
immense. Um as the way I

2288
01:20:55,483 --> 01:20:56,851
brought the amendments to you

2289
01:20:56,851 --> 01:20:58,286
all so far. It's been a bit of

2290
01:20:58,286 --> 01:20:59,688
a mix where we regulate some

2291
01:20:59,688 --> 01:21:01,022
things more, some things less.

2292
01:21:01,022 --> 01:21:02,424
I think that's probably how

2293
01:21:02,424 --> 01:21:04,058
it's going to end up with sound

2294
01:21:04,058 --> 01:21:06,995
code. Um I have some ideas

2295
01:21:06,995 --> 01:21:08,396
personally as a professional

2296
01:21:08,396 --> 01:21:09,363
about what I think should be

2297
01:21:09,363 --> 01:21:12,100
less. But We'll wait after I

2298
01:21:12,100 --> 01:21:13,501
finish doing some more research

2299
01:21:13,501 --> 01:21:14,703
and verify that that's a good

2300
01:21:14,703 --> 01:21:17,305
idea or not. Um with some other

2301
01:21:17,305 --> 01:21:18,440
professional opinions on that.

2302
01:21:18,440 --> 01:21:19,940
So, well, I I think that's what

2303
01:21:19,940 --> 01:21:20,608
we're going to do, Commissioner

2304
01:21:20,608 --> 01:21:24,512
Butler. Um we also are going to

2305
01:21:24,512 --> 01:21:26,113
look at developing the right of

2306
01:21:26,113 --> 01:21:27,348
Wayne Street Standards. That's

2307
01:21:27,348 --> 01:21:29,451
a requirement of the pump plan

2308
01:21:29,451 --> 01:21:30,952
and for the zoning code type

2309
01:21:30,952 --> 01:21:32,320
that we're trying to accomplish

2310
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:34,122
this hybrid zoning code where

2311
01:21:34,122 --> 01:21:36,458
we actually regulate the design

2312
01:21:36,458 --> 01:21:39,127
of streets. So we tell you what

2313
01:21:39,127 --> 01:21:40,328
you should have sidewalks or

2314
01:21:40,328 --> 01:21:40,962
shouldn't or how big they are

2315
01:21:40,962 --> 01:21:42,096
or street lighting or no street

2316
01:21:42,096 --> 01:21:44,665
lighting or how should they be

2317
01:21:44,665 --> 01:21:46,034
parking lanes or no parking

2318
01:21:46,034 --> 01:21:48,003
lanes and this also will help

2319
01:21:48,003 --> 01:21:48,703
guide the major subdivisions

2320
01:21:48,703 --> 01:21:50,271
and new housing developments

2321
01:21:50,271 --> 01:21:52,540
and or or an accident areas in

2322
01:21:52,540 --> 01:21:53,207
those corporate developments.

2323
01:21:53,207 --> 01:21:56,143
So we have a standard of what

2324
01:21:56,143 --> 01:21:57,512
we expect out of the streets.

2325
01:21:57,512 --> 01:21:58,713
With a multitude of options for

2326
01:21:58,713 --> 01:22:01,016
some flexibility. Especially

2327
01:22:01,016 --> 01:22:02,450
given the photography in

2328
01:22:02,450 --> 01:22:04,152
Fairmont. Um the challenges

2329
01:22:04,152 --> 01:22:05,553
faced with that. So we hope to

2330
01:22:05,553 --> 01:22:07,122
get those written up. Those

2331
01:22:07,122 --> 01:22:08,189
will be in our development

2332
01:22:08,189 --> 01:22:10,758
section. And then we hope to

2333
01:22:10,758 --> 01:22:12,027
improve the development and

2334
01:22:12,027 --> 01:22:14,929
major subdivision standards. Um

2335
01:22:14,929 --> 01:22:16,965
there are requests for that and

2336
01:22:16,965 --> 01:22:18,600
with an account plan I have not

2337
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:19,434
identified exact changes at

2338
01:22:19,434 --> 01:22:21,302
this time. But we hope to

2339
01:22:21,302 --> 01:22:22,504
address that later this year.

2340
01:22:22,504 --> 01:22:24,939
Improved historic historic

2341
01:22:24,939 --> 01:22:25,907
design standards. Another thing

2342
01:22:25,907 --> 01:22:29,110
that contentious sometimes with

2343
01:22:29,110 --> 01:22:30,611
new business owners is what the

2344
01:22:30,611 --> 01:22:33,314
historic design review

2345
01:22:33,314 --> 01:22:33,847
commission regulates and

2346
01:22:33,847 --> 01:22:37,452
doesn't so we're hoping to have

2347
01:22:37,452 --> 01:22:39,954
that conversation Um and then,

2348
01:22:39,954 --> 01:22:43,191
we hope to have just as a

2349
01:22:43,191 --> 01:22:44,058
user's standpoint, improve

2350
01:22:44,058 --> 01:22:45,460
graphics across the entire

2351
01:22:45,460 --> 01:22:47,962
zoning building. Um modern

2352
01:22:47,962 --> 01:22:49,531
zoning codes are usually very

2353
01:22:49,531 --> 01:22:51,265
picture oriented and that has

2354
01:22:51,265 --> 01:22:53,568
proved to be more beneficial

2355
01:22:53,568 --> 01:22:55,236
for the public. Um noone likes

2356
01:22:55,236 --> 01:22:57,138
to read paragraph upon

2357
01:22:57,138 --> 01:22:58,473
paragraph of regulations and

2358
01:22:58,473 --> 01:22:59,173
sometimes we have a nice simple

2359
01:22:59,173 --> 01:23:01,509
graphic that summarizes our

2360
01:23:01,509 --> 01:23:04,012
intent or or how to read and

2361
01:23:04,012 --> 01:23:04,646
understand what the code is

2362
01:23:04,646 --> 01:23:06,981
written out. that will often

2363
01:23:06,981 --> 01:23:09,951
help them with our with

2364
01:23:09,951 --> 01:23:12,186
navigating and feeling

2365
01:23:12,186 --> 01:23:13,555
comfortable with our zen code.

2366
01:23:13,555 --> 01:23:14,189
So, this way, they can own a

2367
01:23:14,189 --> 01:23:16,658
home or a business and family

2368
01:23:16,658 --> 01:23:17,424
plan here in the city of

2369
01:23:17,424 --> 01:23:18,893
Providence. So, we're going to

2370
01:23:18,893 --> 01:23:20,462
continue to work on that. Uh

2371
01:23:20,462 --> 01:23:22,430
those are our five goals for

2372
01:23:22,430 --> 01:23:26,501
twenty twenty-two.

2373
01:23:26,501 --> 01:23:30,004
They play. Any questions or

2374
01:23:30,004 --> 01:23:35,577
comments, Shay?

2375
01:23:35,577 --> 01:23:36,611
understand that anything we're

2376
01:23:36,611 --> 01:23:38,046
doing to help people understand

2377
01:23:38,046 --> 01:23:42,450
the growing code is

2378
01:23:42,450 --> 01:23:45,019
Alright, we have made it to the

2379
01:23:45,019 --> 01:23:46,654
lasting on the agenda. It would

2380
01:23:46,654 --> 01:23:49,056
entertain the motion to

2381
01:23:49,056 --> 01:23:53,962
adjourn. That's right. Move.

2382
01:23:53,962 --> 01:23:56,564
Mister Bledsoe and his

2383
01:23:56,564 --> 01:23:59,067
Commission Street? Yes. Uh

2384
01:23:59,067 --> 01:23:59,701
second Commission Strait, all

2385
01:23:59,701 --> 01:24:17,051
in favor, say hi. Thanks, guys.

2386
01:24:17,051 --> 01:24:20,755
can I ask you a couple of quick
