The request is to approve the subdivision and tentative 56 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:51,660 parcel map. 57 00:03:58,140 --> 00:03:59,680 I don't have control of the slideshow. 58 00:04:09,370 --> 00:04:10,030 I'll just say next slide. 59 00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:17,270 The request is to approve a subdivision and tentative parcel map to subdivide an 60 00:04:17,270 --> 00:04:22,530 existing 13.56 acre site into two lots. There is no construction or demolition 61 00:04:22,530 --> 00:04:24,450 proposed with this project. Next slide. 62 00:04:26,730 --> 00:04:30,510 The site is zoned industrial and also has a general 63 00:04:30,510 --> 00:04:36,570 plan land use designation of industrial. The existing site consists of two existing industrial 64 00:04:36,570 --> 00:04:42,950 warehouse buildings, approximately 305,000 square feet of industrial warehouse, including its 65 00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:50,390 associated parking and other improvements, all of which were improved back in 2022. The site is 66 00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:57,790 by or accessed by Bell Avenue and Valencia Avenue and about the 55 freeway. 67 00:04:58,190 --> 00:04:59,170 Next slide. 68 00:05:00,270 --> 00:05:07,630 Surrounding uses are generally industrial uses to the southwest and southeast. We have industrial 69 00:05:07,630 --> 00:05:13,730 uses. And then to the northeast, we have a vacant site. And then to the northwest, we have 70 00:05:13,730 --> 00:05:15,830 the 55 freeway. Next slide. 71 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,860 The proposed tentative parcel map would divide the existing property 72 00:05:21,860 --> 00:05:29,780 into two. In red, we have parcel one in approximately 6.38 acre site or property. And in green, 73 00:05:29,780 --> 00:05:39,520 we have parcel 2 and approximately 7.16 acre parcel. Both parcels would maintain access to 74 00:05:40,180 --> 00:05:47,580 public roadway with parcel 1 being accessed from Bell Avenue and parcel 2 being accessed 75 00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:55,140 from Valencia Avenue and that is shown in orange on the slide here. In purple we have existing 76 00:05:55,140 --> 00:06:00,980 getting gates that restrict both vehicular and pedestrian access and this restricts access 77 00:06:00,980 --> 00:06:06,660 to the truck, truck yards associated with the existing industrial buildings. 78 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:14,840 Effectively the proposed subdivision would separate the existing buildings onto two separate 79 00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:21,720 parcels. It includes a variety of easements including utility easements, road drainage, rail 80 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:27,740 road and public agency easements, and they are also proposing easements for drainage and 81 00:06:27,740 --> 00:06:28,520 emergency access. 82 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:35,020 The code requires CCNRs for parcels with shared access and infrastructure. 83 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,980 So as conditioned, the CCNRs will include but is not limited to provisions for access, 84 00:06:42,420 --> 00:06:44,940 ongoing maintenance, drainage facilities, and parking. 85 00:06:45,660 --> 00:06:51,840 In terms of code compliance, the proposed center-forcel map complies with code and this 86 00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:55,280 subdivision map act with the exception of parking next slide. 87 00:06:58,260 --> 00:07:04,520 The proposed subdivision will result in a deficit of five parking spaces on parcel two. 88 00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:10,160 To address the parking deficiency, there are options written into the conditions of approval. 89 00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:23,400 The first option, the applicant can install five new parking spaces on parcel two and show on the site layout that it can still accommodate safe truck movements. 90 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:31,520 In option two, they can apply for a joint use parking or shared parking agreement to share parking across property lines. 91 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:39,200 This agreement would need to be recorded to, excuse me, to ensure that there's sufficient parking in the future. 92 00:07:41,660 --> 00:07:48,480 In terms of CEQA, the proposed project is categorically exempt under SQL Guidelines Section 15315. 93 00:07:49,060 --> 00:07:52,000 This is class 15 for minor land divisions. 94 00:07:52,660 --> 00:08:01,880 The proposed project divides a single parcel into two parcels, two conforming lots with no construction demolition or physical alteration of the site. 95 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,080 Next slide. 96 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,420 With that said, staff is recommending that the planning commission adopt resolution 97 00:08:08,420 --> 00:08:17,160 number 4558 for subdivision 2025-9 and tenant parcel map 2025-168 subject to the findings 98 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,100 and conditions contained therein. 99 00:08:20,660 --> 00:08:21,660 Next slide. 100 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,120 That concludes staff's presentation. 101 00:08:24,620 --> 00:08:28,720 I also want to note that Mike Sylvie from the applicant team is here in the audience in 102 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,920 case there are additional questions. 103 00:08:33,650 --> 00:08:37,590 So before I open the public hearing, does anybody have any questions for staff? 104 00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:40,740 To the chair. 105 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,840 What's the current status of the buildings, are they occupied, or are they still vacant, is there a tenant? 106 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:58,380 I do not have background information on that, but the applicant is here to answer if there is information to provide. 107 00:08:59,080 --> 00:08:59,760 I am just curious. 108 00:09:02,530 --> 00:09:06,190 There are no other questions for I open the public hearing, we can invite the applicant up. 109 00:09:07,210 --> 00:09:11,810 I have a couple questions. Okay. What's causing this to be subdivided at this time? 110 00:09:13,970 --> 00:09:22,730 I believe that they are just when it was originally approved, it was meant to be subdivided 111 00:09:22,730 --> 00:09:27,190 at that time and they are basically moving forward with that process now. 112 00:09:28,450 --> 00:09:31,850 I think with that, you know, I think that's a newer building that we have to solve for the 113 00:09:31,850 --> 00:09:36,090 parking. I get that it has to be the code, but how has that not been done as part of this 114 00:09:36,090 --> 00:09:36,970 just before coming to this point. 115 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:40,990 Before subdividing it, the parking would have complied. 116 00:09:41,210 --> 00:09:53,210 It's just when it was divided into the parking did not separate exactly in half based on the square footages of the building. 117 00:09:53,990 --> 00:09:59,790 I just seem like we knew we had to solve for it, maybe it could have been built that way, but I don't think the five spaces will be a deal breaker to this. 118 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:13,260 Thank you. Right. No questions. Okay, open the public comment. And with the applicant like to come up and speak. Or ask, answer some questions. 119 00:10:16,540 --> 00:10:32,280 Thank you, Chairperson. Yeah, we're just looking forward to getting this moving. Into the final parcel map question. I think that Commissioner Higuigi had asked was whether or not the buildings are currently occupied. They aren't, but they're working on, on tenants. 120 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:43,040 there and some of the reasons for the split is either to allow for leases to different buildings or potential sales as they opportunities arise for the owner. 121 00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:48,290 Any other questions? 122 00:10:49,210 --> 00:10:49,810 Anyone else? 123 00:10:50,430 --> 00:10:51,330 I'm clarifying questions. 124 00:10:51,590 --> 00:10:52,510 All right, we have any. 125 00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:53,350 Thank you. 126 00:10:53,750 --> 00:10:54,610 Thank you, sir. 127 00:10:55,810 --> 00:10:57,710 Any request to speak on this item? 128 00:10:58,810 --> 00:10:59,810 Chair there, man. 129 00:11:00,030 --> 00:11:00,550 Thank you. 130 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:09,000 So I'm going to close public comments and bring it back to the commission for deliberation. 131 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,580 Any additional thoughts? 132 00:11:14,460 --> 00:11:18,100 I'll make motion to approve as drafted for staff's recommendation. 133 00:11:18,700 --> 00:11:19,240 We have a second. 134 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:20,060 A second. 135 00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:20,880 All right. 136 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,820 So the motion and a second. 137 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,840 Vera, you want to go ahead and do a roll call. 138 00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:29,020 Commissioner Higuichi. 139 00:11:29,740 --> 00:11:29,940 Aye. 140 00:11:30,380 --> 00:11:31,260 Commissioner Golo. 141 00:11:31,820 --> 00:11:32,060 Aye. 142 00:11:32,740 --> 00:11:33,470 Commissioner Deltit. 143 00:11:34,140 --> 00:11:34,300 Aye. 144 00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:37,500 Chair Pro Temco-Zach and Chair Mason. 145 00:11:37,940 --> 00:11:38,180 Aye. 146 00:11:38,540 --> 00:11:40,020 Motion passes 5-0. 147 00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:40,640 Thank you. 148 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:40,900 All right, great. 149 00:11:41,140 --> 00:11:41,500 Thank you. 150 00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:42,100 Congratulations. 151 00:11:42,740 --> 00:11:43,740 Thank you for coming in. 152 00:11:46,820 --> 00:11:47,200 All right. 153 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:53,220 The next item on the agenda is a regular business item and it's going to be the 2026 mid-year 154 00:11:53,220 --> 00:11:53,900 in review. 155 00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:58,720 From the Community Development Department and the recommendation is that we receive and 156 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:05,920 file this report and we have a presentation from Assistant Planner, Angela for Dolphie. 157 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,920 All right, 158 00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:30,730 good evening, planning commission, and thank you for the introduction, Chair Mason. 159 00:12:31,490 --> 00:12:34,270 Tonight, I am presenting the 2026 Midyear Review. 160 00:12:34,830 --> 00:12:37,590 The format of our Midyear Review is in a story map. 161 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:50,440 All right, starting in the northern portion of the city, our first stop is the Enderly Center Redevelopment, known as Campo on 17th. 162 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:56,380 The project is split into two major components, 100 condominium units to the south and commercial to the north. 163 00:12:56,380 --> 00:13:02,600 The commercial component will include restaurants, retail uses, two new drive-thru restaurants, and a new car wash. 164 00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:06,820 Entitlements were approved by the Planning Commission in July, 2026. 165 00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:15,460 Staff is currently awaiting plan checks of middle, a related street vacation for Enderly Center Drive is scheduled to go before the City Council on September 15th. 166 00:13:21,630 --> 00:13:26,210 Just down the street from Campo on 17th is a smaller residential project along your bus street. 167 00:13:26,210 --> 00:13:30,590 The project proposes three detached single-family residences, detached 168 00:13:30,590 --> 00:13:34,290 garages, and the preservation of an existing historic single-family home. 169 00:13:35,050 --> 00:13:39,690 Approved by the Planning Commission in May 2023, the project is currently under construction. 170 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,280 One of our larger projects on the list is the residential Cypress Grove Development. 171 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,140 The project consists of the demolition of five existing office buildings and the development of 172 00:13:57,140 --> 00:14:02,180 145 market rate condominium units.

That concludes my presentation and I'm available for any questions. 294 00:24:21,790 --> 00:24:23,990 Wow. That was great presentation. 295 00:24:25,890 --> 00:24:28,730 Any comments from my fellow commissioners? 296 00:24:28,850 --> 00:24:29,930 Excellent. Does it? 297 00:24:31,630 --> 00:24:33,990 I have some questions, not comments. 298 00:24:35,010 --> 00:24:38,690 Maybe for me, who's newer, can you explain with plan check review and entitlement review? 299 00:24:38,850 --> 00:24:43,490 Are you sure? Yeah. So when something is in the entitlement review, 300 00:24:43,490 --> 00:24:48,770 that's when it's coming into the planning division and reviewed by the planners first and it is 301 00:24:48,770 --> 00:24:52,810 brought, you know, before you guys, before the planning commission, or before city council. 302 00:24:53,450 --> 00:24:57,270 When something is going through plan check, that's when they're submitting for their building permits. 303 00:24:58,050 --> 00:24:59,970 And so it's already most likely been reviewed. 304 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:07,160 By planning commission or city council. And they're in the building permit process. I don't know if staff is anything to add but. 305 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:33,280 If I may, I would just, I would just add that not everything needs to be reviewed by the planning commission or the city council certain things are entitled by right but the entire process ensures that that they meet the standards of that regardless. So you know if they're administratively approved. There's there's typically still some sort of a process there before they move over to building and submitting for their building permits. Thank you. 306 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:39,940 A couple other questions that one you showed on Newport that was approved in 2018, the dentist, do we know why it was delayed? 307 00:25:41,100 --> 00:25:46,200 I don't know exact reasons. There's been various issues over time. 308 00:25:48,710 --> 00:26:00,670 Yes, clearly there's been various delays. It was back in 2018 because of the size of the lot or the way that the lot is configured. 309 00:26:00,670 --> 00:26:06,010 the plans didn't necessarily meet what was being built out on the site. 310 00:26:06,670 --> 00:26:10,610 There was also, I believe, some changes in owners during that time. 311 00:26:10,970 --> 00:26:21,090 So there were some delays there, delays with also with utilities, getting utilities set up as well. 312 00:26:21,330 --> 00:26:26,730 So there's been a slew of delays, but the city has been working side by side with the owner, 313 00:26:27,310 --> 00:26:31,810 the current owner just working with them to see what we can do to reduce any 314 00:26:31,810 --> 00:26:33,670 roadblocks to finishing that project. 315 00:26:36,330 --> 00:26:38,130 One more question. In the parklets that are 316 00:26:38,130 --> 00:26:41,970 on that are going to open an old town. So we're going to issue temporary use 317 00:26:41,970 --> 00:26:46,690 permits before they become permanent. I've asked this before when I'm going to keep 318 00:26:46,690 --> 00:26:49,870 basket. Do we have any requirement that people who have strollers and dogs and 319 00:26:49,870 --> 00:26:53,590 whatnot on the city own parklets can bring their dogs onto that space? 320 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:16,860 I have no questions at this time, I'm excited to see some of the future projects coming for the commission, but man, you guys are busy. 321 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:24,780 One thing I appreciate about this presentation and about the developments going on in the city is that it is going through every corner of the city. 322 00:27:24,780 --> 00:27:34,600 There really wasn't one area that has been left out as far as our revitalization and the investment in our city. 323 00:27:34,860 --> 00:27:38,220 So I think that's a testimony of our code. 324 00:27:39,300 --> 00:27:43,000 That, you know, it's not just one area that is attracting the investment. It's all areas. 325 00:27:43,300 --> 00:27:47,340 And then I think it's testament to you guys and your hard work. So good job. 326 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:59,320 It's amazing. A lot of projects out there. The in and out, that makes our third in and out. 327 00:27:59,460 --> 00:28:04,080 It's awesome. Keep those retail dollars flowing in. I am worried about the queuing there. 328 00:28:04,300 --> 00:28:11,180 So just to heads up, please do us a favor and make sure we explain that to the citizens of Tussle pretty well. 329 00:28:11,300 --> 00:28:18,020 But that's awesome. And then also that's, you know, we've got two cascos in Tussle and so that's kind of the envy of the county. 330 00:28:18,020 --> 00:28:21,680 I think, and it's great to see that they're re-investing or doubling down into us, and it'd be a great job. 331 00:28:22,260 --> 00:28:23,340 It's pretty amazing, actually. 332 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:27,640 Go, Tim, Kozak. 333 00:28:27,980 --> 00:28:28,640 To chair, yeah. 334 00:28:29,420 --> 00:28:36,340 Great presentation, and I like how the map tracked kind of like going through there. 335 00:28:36,420 --> 00:28:40,880 That was cool just to track that, and yeah, I agree. 336 00:28:41,060 --> 00:28:46,500 I mean, they're just projects going everywhere, and that was the first thing I thought too, 337 00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:55,120 when I saw the end and out, I was thinking of the Q and potential traffic, but it's exciting 338 00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:05,160 to see all the development in just, yeah, there's a lot of stuff going on, so good job. 339 00:29:07,860 --> 00:29:12,200 This is my 10th year on the planning commission, so I'm having flashbacks to the dental office. 340 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,560 I've been tracking that one like nobody's business 341 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,280 because I have to drive through there. 342 00:29:17,420 --> 00:29:19,040 There's been a lot of drama around that. 343 00:29:19,100 --> 00:29:21,780 So very happy to see that that is shaking loose. 344 00:29:23,180 --> 00:29:27,200 Takaria Oy, I also have a little flashback about that. 345 00:29:27,300 --> 00:29:30,400 That was when we were not here in Chambers 346 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,720 and we were having our meetings from home. 347 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,780 I may be thinking of a Red Hill Takaria, 348 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,600 but wasn't there a drive through? 349 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:46,900 And then at what point can you just decide not to knock down and use and I mean it really is a 350 00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:53,560 Someone who worked for Taco Bell for a very long time. I appreciate the old Taco Bells 351 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,560 But they also look like old Taco Bells 352 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,980 So I'm just curious as to what that process is that you go from 353 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,340 I'm having a brand new building too. Another one, an existing one. 354 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:14,260 Chair Mason, yes. Your memory is correct. This was, I previously approved for a brand new building. 355 00:30:14,420 --> 00:30:22,460 The applicant was going to demolish the Taco Bell building and create another drive-through building to suit his business. 356 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:29,940 Due to financial reasons, he needed to pivot and decided to use the existing building. 357 00:30:30,980 --> 00:30:37,020 It's a pre-existing legal building, so he is able to use the site. 358 00:30:37,460 --> 00:30:42,940 He's not making any changes, so he is able to use the building or he's making some minor changes that are allowed by code. 359 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:50,860 But he's going to be used the existing site as it's proposed and just do a lot of rehabilitation to the building. 360 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,200 and use the building for TACRE alloy. 361 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,340 So it'll be, hopefully we're hoping 362 00:30:57,340 --> 00:30:59,920 to see that under construction, hopefully 363 00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:01,460 and by sometime next year. 364 00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:04,560 So that's just going, that's, there's no additional, 365 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,360 I'm just, and again, God bless every small business owner. 366 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,960 But it is, it's kind of enchambles to be honest. 367 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,920 So when you say it's rehabbed, like I'm sure 368 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,000 that it's gone through the appropriate plan check 369 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:26,940 that even the parking lot is, anyway, you know what I'm saying, it's messy, it's not at all 370 00:31:26,940 --> 00:31:30,680 what we had spent, oh, by the way, it was probably one of the longest planning commission meetings 371 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:36,820 we had had because we had lots of discussion about the drive-through. So anyway, that is just my question 372 00:31:36,820 --> 00:31:43,120 as much as it is a comment, and I've been wondering where that Popeyes was going to pop up because it's 373 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,640 and nothing over there on the corner. 374 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,100 And then tell us what the, we're in an outfailing, 375 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,340 my son is a manager there. 376 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,900 What's the plan for an in and out? 377 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,000 Because I mean, you can say I wanna be there, 378 00:31:55,140 --> 00:31:57,400 but you have lots, very exciting, 379 00:31:57,620 --> 00:31:59,200 but lots of questions on queuing, 380 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,740 and that is an already very, very jammed up. 381 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,640 Right, so we just received that application, 382 00:32:06,980 --> 00:32:08,480 I would say about a month ago. 383 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,860 It just started, the review is gonna be, 384 00:32:12,860 --> 00:32:17,060 We can, the first review is going to be concluding in the next week or two. 385 00:32:17,860 --> 00:32:24,240 So there are comments, the applicant has been working, did a lot of pre-work, working closely 386 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:32,260 with our traffic division and the planning department to see what requirements were necessary 387 00:32:32,260 --> 00:32:33,840 to incorporate into the plans. 388 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:40,880 So we're reviewing that, we're looking at queuing, we're looking at how the traffic runs, 389 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:46,900 are how the traffic flows as well so our eyes are on it but they're they have 390 00:32:46,900 --> 00:32:51,140 some comments so we'll be looking forward to their second review hopefully in 391 00:32:51,140 --> 00:32:57,360 the next couple months. Okay so what's there right now? Right now it's a FedEx 392 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:05,540 building. Okay exciting and then last comment I know that we have it still to do 393 00:33:05,540 --> 00:33:09,580 the public comments but it's so nice to see all this development on the side of the 394 00:33:09,580 --> 00:33:17,200 city. Again, it's been a decade and I've seen a lot, this is the first time I've really seen 395 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:24,220 the focus on Red Hill over. And you guys are very busy, so thanks for all your hard work. 396 00:33:24,860 --> 00:33:27,760 So I will, unless there are any other questions? 397 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:28,780 Through the chair. 398 00:33:29,020 --> 00:33:29,120 Yes. 399 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:36,680 I forgot to ask regarding that dentist's office that I was approved back that we were talking 400 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:41,020 about. Is there a proposed finish date, completion date on that now? 401 00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:50,960 I can tell you it's closed. As Raymond alluded to, there have been some struggles with the 402 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,900 electrification of the site, and so we have been working very closely with our Public Works 403 00:33:54,900 --> 00:34:00,000 Department and Southern California Edison in order to facilitate that. That really is the last 404 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:05,620 step to get them electrified, then they can test their elevators and just close out all of their 405 00:34:05,620 --> 00:34:11,300 permit. So they are very close. We just need to get them across the finish line with Southern 406 00:34:11,300 --> 00:34:18,600 California Edison. We've had a moving date for that and it hasn't been firmed up yet. 407 00:34:18,820 --> 00:34:21,040 We are still very hopeful that it will be this month. 408 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:22,900 Thank you. 409 00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:26,940 All right. I'll go ahead and open it to a public comment. 410 00:34:27,580 --> 00:34:30,260 Vera, are there any comments for this? 411 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:32,820 Chair there are none. 412 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:33,540 Thank you. 413 00:34:33,540 --> 00:34:38,300 Okay, and if no one else would like to speak, I will close this. 414 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:46,380 We will not be taking a motion, as this is just a receive and file item, but great job 415 00:34:46,380 --> 00:34:48,460 on the presentation and great job too, staff. 416 00:34:49,500 --> 00:34:53,640 We can move on to other business, Alexa, our community development director. 417 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,360 Thank you very much, Chair, I apologize, I don't know why I have so many problems getting 418 00:34:59,360 --> 00:34:59,900 in this button to turn. 419 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:29,880 The last council meeting, the council considered a couple of items. The first was moving forward on the process for the Clearwater testing legacy project, which is the senior project that this board reviewed a couple meetings ago. So that is moving forward and on its way through the development disposition process. It's got a couple more steps to go, but this was a nudge forward. And then also proceeded to direct staff to move forward with a second 420 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:35,940 around the competitive process for 44 acres that test and legacy is only just south of where the flight 421 00:35:35,940 --> 00:35:42,260 development is so that kind of swath of land that forms kind of a large L under there. So that will 422 00:35:42,260 --> 00:35:46,760 move forward with the real property division and looking forward to seeing where that goes as I'm 423 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,760 sure you are will be bringing things forward to you here at the legacy in the next couple of years 424 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,920 pretty rapid fire I imagine. That's my report. Thank you. 425 00:36:02,330 --> 00:36:03,310 Tim, who is that? 426 00:36:03,770 --> 00:36:04,870 No comments from you tonight. 427 00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:05,510 Thank you. 428 00:36:06,610 --> 00:36:07,730 I'm sure you can move out. 429 00:36:08,730 --> 00:36:09,330 One comment first. 430 00:36:09,490 --> 00:36:10,650 Thanks, staff for that presentation. 431 00:36:10,650 --> 00:36:12,050 I was going on a test and it's awesome. 432 00:36:12,370 --> 00:36:14,710 I think if you just did put that on social media 433 00:36:14,710 --> 00:36:17,430 with Angela's narration, if these people ask what's going on, 434 00:36:17,470 --> 00:36:19,010 it could be like a cool part of our outreach. 435 00:36:19,650 --> 00:36:20,230 Very cool. 436 00:36:20,830 --> 00:36:22,650 I know we just had some talk about another chain burger 437 00:36:22,650 --> 00:36:23,630 restaurant in Old Town. 438 00:36:24,090 --> 00:36:26,310 For anyone watching this, you can always check out American Grub 439 00:36:26,310 --> 00:36:27,190 and Peters Gourmet. 440 00:36:28,190 --> 00:36:29,530 Shout out to our local businesses. 441 00:36:30,090 --> 00:36:30,230 Yeah. 442 00:36:30,230 --> 00:36:30,230 Yeah. 443 00:36:33,410 --> 00:36:45,550 No comment. I'm going to rewind because I've realized I didn't ask the question of the beer garden. May I put that in my comments. It's just. Do we have an operator or are we just building it? 444 00:36:48,320 --> 00:37:00,000 We do have an operator. It is a submitted proposal. Yeah. So the city is working with them to, you know, try to facilitate this because it is a little bit different than what we've tried before. But yes, there's an operator. 445 00:37:00,980 --> 00:37:15,880 My other comment was actually going to be I was really thinking after our last meeting about everything going on over in legacy and development and traffic and roads and I was driving and now I'm thinking, oh my god, it's all over here now. 446 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:26,660 So I am curious if there has been any further discussion or movement on parking here in the old town area. 447 00:37:26,660 --> 00:37:26,720 yeah. 448 00:37:30,390 --> 00:37:35,470 Broadly speaking we talk about it all the time. Has there been a specific movement 449 00:37:35,470 --> 00:37:40,710 to change anything that we're doing at this point? No. But potentially in the future. 450 00:37:41,810 --> 00:37:48,250 And that's a parking garage, correct? Is that on the table? Correct. The city is a partial 451 00:37:48,250 --> 00:37:54,350 owner of the parking structure that exists and where that goes in the future is I think 452 00:37:54,350 --> 00:37:59,670 still a big conversation. It's really interesting, especially as we look to do these infill parcels 453 00:37:59,670 --> 00:38:04,810 and add in to the vibrancy of old town what what that means. So we're certainly working through 454 00:38:04,810 --> 00:38:09,130 the projects very closely with our traffic engineer and trying to understand how we can make all of 455 00:38:09,130 --> 00:38:13,170 this work roundabouts. 456 00:38:15,810 --> 00:38:21,710 Okay, so I'll go ahead if no one else has any more comments. I'm going to go 457 00:38:21,710 --> 00:38:26,010 had an adjourn tonight's meeting and the next regular meeting of the planning 458 00:38:26,010 --> 00:38:29,790 commission is scheduled for Tuesday, September 22nd. Thanks everyone.
