Yeah I'm ready.

00:02:05,410 --> 00:02:07,230
25th somehow I thought
it was the 24th.

10
00:02:07,230 --> 00:02:09,389

The consent agenda will be

36
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,100
unless the applicant member of

the item be removed

38
00:03:15,060 --> 00:03:16,700
from the consent agenda.

39
00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:18,380
Items removed from
the consent agenda

41
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,460

43
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:28,420
Is there a request
from the commission

44
00:03:28,420 --> 00:03:33,580
to remove our single item
from the consent agenda.

45
00:03:33,580 --> 00:03:36,180
Is there anyone else
interested in removing

46
00:03:36,180 --> 00:03:38,740
item from the consent agenda.

47
00:03:38,740 --> 00:03:39,240
All right.

48
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,160

00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,100
So moved.

00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:43,980

The consent agenda passes.

92
00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:17,457
After the closure of
the public hearing,

93
00:05:17,457 --> 00:05:18,590
the planning
commission will begin

94
00:05:18,590 --> 00:05:22,510
its deliberation, which will end
with the passage of a motion.

95
00:05:22,510 --> 00:05:25,230
So the first item on
the agenda this evening

96
00:05:25,230 --> 00:05:27,790
is to consider requests
by Martin Mendoza

97
00:05:27,790 --> 00:05:31,990
to vacate a portion of
inland Avenue public right

98
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:34,350
of way, that is,
the outlying areas

99
00:05:34,350 --> 00:05:41,070
of a cul-de-sac that about
567 Southwest gate drive

100
00:05:41,070 --> 00:05:44,550
and 569 Southwest gate drive.

101
00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:46,870
The vacation shall be

102
00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:51,550
Junction, retaining a 14
foot multi-purpose easement

103
00:05:51,550 --> 00:05:53,310
in each portion
of the cul-de-sac

104
00:05:53,310 --> 00:05:57,590
along the remaining inland
Avenue right of way.

105
00:05:57,590 --> 00:06:01,310
Staff, are you ready
to proceed on this Yes

106
00:06:01,310 --> 00:06:03,830
And is the applicant present.

107
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:05,570
And would you identify
yourself, please.

108
00:06:05,570 --> 00:06:07,470
And are you ready to proceed.

109
00:06:07,470 --> 00:06:13,270
Yes Thank you.

110
00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:15,990
And before we begin,
was the required

111
00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:17,710
public notice given on this.

112
00:06:17,710 --> 00:06:21,850
Yes pursuant to the city's
noticing requirements.

113
00:06:21,850 --> 00:06:23,210
Yes thank you.

114
00:06:23,210 --> 00:06:24,890
With that, we can proceed.

115
00:06:24,890 --> 00:06:28,590
Could you please introduce
the exhibits for the record.

116
00:06:28,590 --> 00:06:44,610
Absolutely let me grab them.

117
00:06:44,610 --> 00:06:45,250
That's OK.

118
00:06:45,250 --> 00:07:03,240


119
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,460
So for the exhibits,
we have exhibit one,

120
00:07:05,460 --> 00:07:07,320
which will be the staff report.

121
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,480
We then have exhibit
two which will

122
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,800
be the development application.

123
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,200
Exhibit 3 is the
neighborhood meeting notes.

124
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,740
Exhibit 4 being the
right of way exhibits,

125
00:07:17,740 --> 00:07:21,560
and exhibit 5 being the
draft zoning ordinance.

126
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,060
Thank you.

127
00:07:22,060 --> 00:07:24,320
And are there any additional
exhibits that were not

128
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,480
included in the staff report.

129
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,140
No perfect.

130
00:07:29,140 --> 00:07:30,140
You may proceed.

131
00:07:30,140 --> 00:07:34,480


132
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,060
Good evening.

133
00:07:35,060 --> 00:07:36,980
Commissioners My
name is Lily Sutton.

134
00:07:36,980 --> 00:07:39,200
I'm a new senior
planner with the city.

135
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,960
So this is my official first
presentation for y'all.

136
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,580
Tonight's case is regarding the
Southwest gate of way vacation.

137
00:07:47,580 --> 00:07:49,040
So this is.

138
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,840
The request is to vacate two
existing portions of previously

139
00:07:53,840 --> 00:08:00,290
dedicated right of way, totaling
approximately 2200ft They are

140
00:08:00,290 --> 00:08:03,970
the outlying areas
of a cul-de-sac

141
00:08:03,970 --> 00:08:06,450
that was never
developed, as inland

142
00:08:06,450 --> 00:08:09,370
Avenue is a through street.

143
00:08:09,370 --> 00:08:10,990
And as you can see
on the site map,

144
00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:15,370
these are the two
areas to be vacated.

145
00:08:15,370 --> 00:08:20,290
One is on the 567 parcel to
the South of inland Avenue,

146
00:08:20,290 --> 00:08:23,850
and the other is located
to the North of inland

147
00:08:23,850 --> 00:08:29,450
and is located on 569.

148
00:08:29,450 --> 00:08:34,049
The current zoning of the
property is commercial general.

149
00:08:34,049 --> 00:08:37,409
The applicant has also
put in an application

150
00:08:37,409 --> 00:08:39,169
and is going through
the review process

151
00:08:39,169 --> 00:08:45,230
for both a minor subdivision
for the 565 property,

152
00:08:45,230 --> 00:08:50,130
as well as the 567 property
both to the South of inland

153
00:08:50,130 --> 00:08:58,330
for a future vehicle and
equipment storage and warehouse

154
00:08:58,330 --> 00:09:02,390
for the owner's current
existing business,

155
00:09:02,390 --> 00:09:04,490
and to expand on these two lots.

156
00:09:04,490 --> 00:09:06,370
And there is also a
separate application

157
00:09:06,370 --> 00:09:12,450
for a minor subdivision to
combine these two lots together.

158
00:09:12,450 --> 00:09:15,250
The comprehensive plan
calls out the future land

159
00:09:15,250 --> 00:09:16,890
use as industrial.

160
00:09:16,890 --> 00:09:19,330
Both the zoning and
the future land use

161
00:09:19,330 --> 00:09:24,210
are compatible with the vehicle
and equipment use storage use

162
00:09:24,210 --> 00:09:29,170
that the applicant is proposing
in the future, but just not 100%

163
00:09:29,170 --> 00:09:31,810
relevant to the right of
way, but in the future.

164
00:09:31,810 --> 00:09:36,290
This is an allowed use by right.

165
00:09:36,290 --> 00:09:40,450
And for this is to show this
is one of the submittals that

166
00:09:40,450 --> 00:09:43,090
was submitted with the
site plan that is currently

167
00:09:43,090 --> 00:09:45,490
being reviewed by staff.

168
00:09:45,490 --> 00:09:48,770
It's just showing the
road alignment for inland

169
00:09:48,770 --> 00:09:51,650
and that it is in
fact a through street.

170
00:09:51,650 --> 00:09:53,450
And that cul-de-sac
and turnaround is no

171
00:09:53,450 --> 00:09:58,300
longer necessary for this area.

172
00:09:58,300 --> 00:10:03,100
And so for the
analysis, it is in line

173
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:06,500
with the comprehensive plan,
both in the future land use

174
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:09,900
and with the overall
circulation plan for the city.

175
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:14,700
The access is not changed
considering that the Inland

176
00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:21,220
Avenue is already developed as
is, so there are no large scale

177
00:10:21,220 --> 00:10:26,020
changes other than the applicant
being able to use both this site

178
00:10:26,020 --> 00:10:30,740
and potentially if in for
future development of the 569

179
00:10:30,740 --> 00:10:32,660
site to the North
could just be developed

180
00:10:32,660 --> 00:10:34,040
to their full potential.

181
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,860


182
00:10:36,860 --> 00:10:43,020
And based on the
finding of fact, the.

183
00:10:43,020 --> 00:10:48,620
After reviewing the request
to vacate approximately 2236ft

184
00:10:48,620 --> 00:10:52,020
of public right of way
along inland Avenue,

185
00:10:52,020 --> 00:10:59,020
but with the condition that
a 14 foot multi-purpose

186
00:10:59,020 --> 00:11:02,740
easement is granted
along the remaining

187
00:11:02,740 --> 00:11:04,660
portions of inland Avenue.

188
00:11:04,660 --> 00:11:07,340
Based on the submittals
that they have given

189
00:11:07,340 --> 00:11:10,760
the city for the site plan and
the subdivision in the future,

190
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,440
they are both showing that 14
foot multipurpose easement.

191
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,460
So staff is finding all of
these requirements to be met.

192
00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:23,140
And with that, I will open
it up to any questions

193
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:26,500
that you all might have for
either me or the applicant.

194
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:28,720
Are there any questions
for staff at this time.

195
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:29,580
I have one.

196
00:11:29,580 --> 00:11:30,460
Go ahead.

197
00:11:30,460 --> 00:11:32,980
Yes Lynn, first off, welcome.

198
00:11:32,980 --> 00:11:35,820
Glad to have you here.

199
00:11:35,820 --> 00:11:39,540
In regards to the 569 West
gate address, which is

200
00:11:39,540 --> 00:11:43,020
also affected by this vacation.

201
00:11:43,020 --> 00:11:46,800
They have asked, does this
have any effect to them.

202
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,460
And for the record, I'd like
to just ask that question

203
00:11:49,460 --> 00:11:50,920
and have it answered, please.

204
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:51,520
Yeah, absolutely.

205
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:52,990
That's a great question.

206
00:11:52,990 --> 00:11:57,510
The effect that this will
have on the 5, 6, 9 property

207
00:11:57,510 --> 00:12:01,150
is that it removes
that dedicated right

208
00:12:01,150 --> 00:12:04,950
of way which is on their lot.

209
00:12:04,950 --> 00:12:07,150
So really the only impact
is that if they want

210
00:12:07,150 --> 00:12:10,670
to develop in the
future, that space is no

211
00:12:10,670 --> 00:12:12,130
longer considered right of way.

212
00:12:12,130 --> 00:12:15,270
And they are able to
use that site to its max

213
00:12:15,270 --> 00:12:16,810
layout and Max potential.

214
00:12:16,810 --> 00:12:20,390
So there is an impact, but
it's a net positive impact.

215
00:12:20,390 --> 00:12:21,590
Thank you.

216
00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:23,790
Thank you.

217
00:12:23,790 --> 00:12:24,630
Go ahead.

218
00:12:24,630 --> 00:12:26,710
Just piggybacking on that.

219
00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:30,070
Has there been communication
with those property owners

220
00:12:30,070 --> 00:12:31,070
to the North.

221
00:12:31,070 --> 00:12:33,250
I have not had
direct communication,

222
00:12:33,250 --> 00:12:35,370
but I will turn that
over to Kim Kirk.

223
00:12:35,370 --> 00:12:37,110
If there's been
any communications

224
00:12:37,110 --> 00:12:41,870
with that property owner to
the North, there has not.

225
00:12:41,870 --> 00:12:44,270
Yeah if you could, we'll
just turn it over to you.

226
00:12:44,270 --> 00:12:45,370
At this time, I
was going to say,

227
00:12:45,370 --> 00:12:47,050
do you have a
presentation for us.

228
00:12:47,050 --> 00:12:52,030
And then also could just
answer that question.

229
00:12:52,030 --> 00:12:54,010
Not so.

230
00:12:54,010 --> 00:12:57,670
Good evening,
commissioners and staff.

231
00:12:57,670 --> 00:13:00,590
Kim Kirk, Kim Kirkland
consulting and development.

232
00:13:00,590 --> 00:13:06,270
So I'm the representative for
the owner, Martin Mendoza.

233
00:13:06,270 --> 00:13:09,230
So this I'm going to
back up and give you

234
00:13:09,230 --> 00:13:10,450
just a little bit of history.

235
00:13:10,450 --> 00:13:15,110
So this project started
out with Mr. Mendoza,

236
00:13:15,110 --> 00:13:18,110
went in to apply
for a fence permit.

237
00:13:18,110 --> 00:13:21,810
And he owns these two
lots at 565 and 567.

238
00:13:21,810 --> 00:13:25,270
So it came about that
if he wanted to not

239
00:13:25,270 --> 00:13:26,850
have to put fence
through the middle,

240
00:13:26,850 --> 00:13:28,130
he could combine the lots.

241
00:13:28,130 --> 00:13:33,470
So long story short, it ended
up doing a minor subdivision,

242
00:13:33,470 --> 00:13:34,970
a site plan review.

243
00:13:34,970 --> 00:13:37,990


244
00:13:37,990 --> 00:13:40,050
And Lily's like
the fourth planner,

245
00:13:40,050 --> 00:13:45,270
so she probably wouldn't even
know all of that information.

246
00:13:45,270 --> 00:13:47,330
So we got through
the subdivision,

247
00:13:47,330 --> 00:13:49,170
we were getting through
all the processes,

248
00:13:49,170 --> 00:13:51,900
and then we were
notified by the planner.

249
00:13:51,900 --> 00:13:56,320
Previous planner that we had
to vacate that right of way.

250
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,340
And they.

251
00:13:57,340 --> 00:14:00,000
So it was mandated to us to
vacate that right of way.

252
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,680
I asked the question, how
do we vacate something

253
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:04,380
off of someone else's property.

254
00:14:04,380 --> 00:14:05,960
And they said,
that's not necessary

255
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,380
because it's city right of way.

256
00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:11,840
So I didn't contact
the neighbors.

257
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,140
That's the long answer.

258
00:14:13,140 --> 00:14:18,400


259
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,100
Thank you for that explanation.

260
00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:20,820
Appreciate it.

261
00:14:20,820 --> 00:14:24,400
Yes and then I have just
a little tiny bit more

262
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:31,560
to add on these two properties,
there are no plans for any type

263
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,600
of warehouse or construction.

264
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,160
This is for a landscaping
company owner that wants to park

265
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,240
his equipment there at night.

266
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,760
So the big.

267
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,280
He'll come in the morning,
get over whatever equipment

268
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,140
he might need, take it out
for the day and return it.

269
00:14:48,140 --> 00:14:51,730
So there's not any development
planned on these two lots

270
00:14:51,730 --> 00:14:52,230
at all.

271
00:14:52,230 --> 00:14:55,130


272
00:14:55,130 --> 00:14:59,170
Are there any other questions
for staff or applicant.

273
00:14:59,170 --> 00:15:01,890
Just a small one.

274
00:15:01,890 --> 00:15:05,530
It you mentioned the 14
foot multipurpose easement.

275
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:10,290
There seems to be on the exhibit
for the right of way exhibit.

276
00:15:10,290 --> 00:15:13,170
There's a.

277
00:15:13,170 --> 00:15:15,410
It shows a 15 foot
utility easement.

278
00:15:15,410 --> 00:15:21,010
Are those also remaining
and is that should

279
00:15:21,010 --> 00:15:25,050
those be different sizes.

280
00:15:25,050 --> 00:15:27,610
Or dimensions to the
best of my knowledge,

281
00:15:27,610 --> 00:15:30,810
the 14 foot multipurpose
easement is called out

282
00:15:30,810 --> 00:15:33,770
separately on the subdivision.

283
00:15:33,770 --> 00:15:38,170
I'm not entirely sure what
the difference between the 15

284
00:15:38,170 --> 00:15:41,010
foot utility easement
and the multi-purpose.

285
00:15:41,010 --> 00:15:45,330
I can just confirm that the
condition is met for the 14 foot

286
00:15:45,330 --> 00:15:47,690
so far on what has
been submitted.

287
00:15:47,690 --> 00:15:56,550
Are there any other questions.

288
00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:59,170


289
00:15:59,170 --> 00:16:00,770
Madam Chair, if I may.

290
00:16:00,770 --> 00:16:01,510
Who said that.

291
00:16:01,510 --> 00:16:05,770
Oh, that's James Beard
assistant city attorney.

292
00:16:05,770 --> 00:16:08,650
I would just like to
clarify some for the record.

293
00:16:08,650 --> 00:16:10,710
Our right of way
isn't on their lots.

294
00:16:10,710 --> 00:16:12,570
It's the city's right of way.

295
00:16:12,570 --> 00:16:15,570
They have just been utilizing
it because it's never been built

296
00:16:15,570 --> 00:16:17,690
to look like it is roadway.

297
00:16:17,690 --> 00:16:20,790
And so they've been treating
it as if it's their lots.

298
00:16:20,790 --> 00:16:25,130
And so basically by going
ahead and vacating the roadway,

299
00:16:25,130 --> 00:16:28,170
we're giving them what
they believe or would

300
00:16:28,170 --> 00:16:31,130
appear to already be their lot.

301
00:16:31,130 --> 00:16:33,730
Technically it could
change something

302
00:16:33,730 --> 00:16:37,850
a little bit for both lots and
that now they would be looked

303
00:16:37,850 --> 00:16:40,690
at as those really
are fully their lots,

304
00:16:40,690 --> 00:16:43,090
all that area included
within their lots.

305
00:16:43,090 --> 00:16:45,970
It may change their
tax assessment.

306
00:16:45,970 --> 00:16:48,570
I can't expect that
it's going to be a lot,

307
00:16:48,570 --> 00:16:52,060
but arguably that now
will be their land

308
00:16:52,060 --> 00:16:54,980
to be considered
as all of theirs

309
00:16:54,980 --> 00:16:58,060
and not considered as road
right away any longer.

310
00:16:58,060 --> 00:17:01,700
And so we're really giving them
what they think they've got.

311
00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:06,700
But at the same time it is city
road right of way to vacate

312
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:08,760
if the city chooses to do so.

313
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,300
We don't have to have permission
of the property owner to do it.

314
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:14,940
We have yet to have
a property owner

315
00:17:14,940 --> 00:17:16,280
though complain that we did it.

316
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,240
So I just wanted to clarify.

317
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,420
I think there were two times
it was mentioned that it was

318
00:17:20,420 --> 00:17:22,480
their lots and it's
not their lots,

319
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,380
it's the city road right of way.

320
00:17:25,380 --> 00:17:26,119
Thank you.

321
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,140
Yes thank you.

322
00:17:27,140 --> 00:17:29,960
And I was just going to say,
just to echo Jamie's point,

323
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,500
this is really like a clean
it up kind of exercise.

324
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:35,280
When we do see
something like this,

325
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,900
like in what MS Kirk said
with the fence permit.

326
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:45,700
We tried to clean up the
record in these types of things

327
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:50,980
and with this case a
paper plat of right of way

328
00:17:50,980 --> 00:17:54,860
that is never actually
been used as such.

329
00:17:54,860 --> 00:17:57,720
As plans change with streets
and things like that,

330
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,140
we run into these sometimes.

331
00:18:00,140 --> 00:18:05,140
So to clean it up, exercise.

332
00:18:05,140 --> 00:18:05,800
Thank you.

333
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,700
Are there any other questions.

334
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:10,640
So at this time, we'll
open the hearing up.

335
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,440
Thank you, MS Kirk,
for public comment.

336
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,920
Seeing no one in the audience.

337
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,460
Do we have anybody online.

338
00:18:17,460 --> 00:18:18,660
We do not.

339
00:18:18,660 --> 00:18:19,620
All right.

340
00:18:19,620 --> 00:18:23,000
Seeing no public and having
no public online to comment,

341
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,340
I will close the public comment
hearing the public comment

342
00:18:27,340 --> 00:18:28,680
portion of the hearing.

343
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,220


344
00:18:31,220 --> 00:18:33,600
Our let's see.

345
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,200
And we don't need any additional
comments to the public.

346
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,260
Comments we didn't get.

347
00:18:40,260 --> 00:18:43,380
Sorry trying to go
through the meeting notes.

348
00:18:43,380 --> 00:18:44,700
That's OK.

349
00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:48,110
I thought I was going to
ask you who was up at bat.

350
00:18:48,110 --> 00:18:48,610
All right.

351
00:18:48,610 --> 00:18:51,270
Are there any additional
questions for staff or applicant

352
00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:55,710
at this time before I close
this item for public hearing.

353
00:18:55,710 --> 00:18:56,210
All right.

354
00:18:56,210 --> 00:18:58,190
We will close the public
hearing and turn to the planning

355
00:18:58,190 --> 00:18:59,730
commission for
additional discussion,

356
00:18:59,730 --> 00:19:03,030
deliberation or a motion.

357
00:19:03,030 --> 00:19:08,390
Motion you better just close
your laptop down there.

358
00:19:08,390 --> 00:19:11,110
I'll just make the comment
that I did go out and look

359
00:19:11,110 --> 00:19:16,950
at this property and
met the people at 569,

360
00:19:16,950 --> 00:19:20,750
and they did have some
concerns about what this meant.

361
00:19:20,750 --> 00:19:24,390
They had gotten a postcard that
they didn't exactly understand.

362
00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:28,610
There was no posting or
anything out there at the time.

363
00:19:28,610 --> 00:19:31,750
And so there was some
confusion, but we talked it out

364
00:19:31,750 --> 00:19:33,890
and they feel a lot
better about it.

365
00:19:33,890 --> 00:19:35,310
But they did want
it on the record

366
00:19:35,310 --> 00:19:39,370
that this was not going to
affect their property adversely.

367
00:19:39,370 --> 00:19:40,810
And so they're all fine with it.

368
00:19:40,810 --> 00:19:44,870
And having looked at it,
it is a clean up exercise

369
00:19:44,870 --> 00:19:46,330
and make perfect sense to me.

370
00:19:46,330 --> 00:19:48,950


371
00:19:48,950 --> 00:19:51,230
And with that, I'd
like to make a motion.

372
00:19:51,230 --> 00:19:51,970
Go ahead.

373
00:19:51,970 --> 00:19:54,990


374
00:19:54,990 --> 00:19:56,010
Madam Chair.

375
00:19:56,010 --> 00:19:57,890
On the Inland Avenue
public right of way.

376
00:19:57,890 --> 00:20:01,790
Vacation located between 5,
6, 7 Southwest gate drive

377
00:20:01,790 --> 00:20:04,450
and 569 Southwest gate drive.

378
00:20:04,450 --> 00:20:06,630
I move that the planning
commission, for recommendation

379
00:20:06,630 --> 00:20:09,150
of approval to city
council of the findings

380
00:20:09,150 --> 00:20:11,710
of fact and conditions as
listed in the staff report.

381
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:14,130
Second, there's a motion.

382
00:20:14,130 --> 00:20:17,230
And second, are there any
additional discussion.

383
00:20:17,230 --> 00:20:17,730
All right.

384
00:20:17,730 --> 00:20:18,910
All in favor, say Aye.

385
00:20:18,910 --> 00:20:21,710
Aye Any opposed.

386
00:20:21,710 --> 00:20:23,730
The motion passes 7 to 0.

387
00:20:23,730 --> 00:20:27,070


388
00:20:27,070 --> 00:20:29,910
Is there any other business to
be brought before the planning

389
00:20:29,910 --> 00:20:31,130
commission this evening.

390
00:20:31,130 --> 00:20:35,190


391
00:20:35,190 --> 00:20:35,690
All right.

392
00:20:35,690 --> 00:20:37,790
Do we have a motion to adjourn.

393
00:20:37,790 --> 00:20:38,670
So moved.

394
00:20:38,670 --> 00:20:41,470
Second All in favor.

395
00:20:41,470 --> 00:20:45,200
Aye we are adjourned.

396
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,000
