00:00:38,420 --> 00:01:05,460
To the many commission, the city of one of the many commission meeting for June 17th. This is Planck Mission Chair Kirby Wells, like to make clear for the record that this meeting, and it should be reflected in the minutes of this Planck Mission of June 17th, 2021, will be conducted pursuant to the government, to Governor Newsom's executive order and 2920.

2
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,780
And here's some of the ground rules.

3
00:01:09,180 --> 00:01:14,220
The meeting will be held via teleconference and plan commission members will participate via teleconference.

4
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,700
These locations are not listed on the agenda and are not accessible to the public.

5
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:24,300
The public is encouraged to listen to the plan commission meeting live on Woodland TV channel 20.

6
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:33,760
And also by going to the city of Woodland website at www.cityof Woodland.org for slash meetings.

7
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,740
If you want, wish to make a comment during the general public comment or on a specific

8
00:01:38,740 --> 00:01:42,200
agenda item for three ways to accomplish that.

9
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:49,760
First, members of the public are invited to leave the voicemail message at 530-661-5500.

10
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:53,760
Again, 530-661-5900.

11
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,900
All voicemail messages received by 630 PM today will be played during a planning commission

12
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:02,960
meeting as part of the record at the appropriate times.

13
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:17,540
Second, any number of the public watching the live stream, who wishes to make a comment on an item as is being heard may submit an email to the following email address prior to public comment on the item.

14
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:26,340
And that email address is planning commission meetings, again meetings is plural at city of woodland.org.

15
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:30,060
So planning commission meetings at city of woodland.org.

16
00:02:30,060 --> 00:02:37,140
If you email, these include the agenda item in the subject line, and third, you can purchase

17
00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:38,100

18
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:43,100
You will find a link to the Zoom webinar meeting on the Planning Commission agenda that

19
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:44,200
is posted online.

20
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,220
I kind of want to link and to end the webinar.

21
00:02:46,980 --> 00:02:49,880
The webinar ideas listed on the web page as well.

22
00:02:49,880 --> 00:03:06,440

23
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:19,700

00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,860
6833. Please note all comments are limited to no more than three minutes. This includes

25
00:03:27,860 --> 00:03:32,820

26
00:03:32,820 --> 00:03:37,080

27
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:42,420

28
00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:46,840

29
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:57,140
Okay, to start, let's open the meeting and I would like to ask for a roll call, and so,

30
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,660
Eric, I'm assuming that you are performing that this evening.

31
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:01,700
Yes.

32
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:03,400
Commissioner Harris.

33
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,040
Here.

34
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:06,920
Commissioner Holt.

35
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:10,940
Commissioner Harris.

36
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:11,620
Present.

37
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:14,200
Vice Chair, Lisa Rogan.

38
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:15,460
Present.

39
00:04:16,140 --> 00:04:17,000
Commissioner Lopez.

40
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:17,120
This

41
00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:27,490
name is Toro Paz and Q,

42
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,640
Mr. Lopez, okay he's waving, we can't hear you, and then

43
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:39,900
chairperson Wells.

44
00:04:41,180 --> 00:04:41,300
Excellent.

45
00:04:43,820 --> 00:04:48,020
Okay, now I'd like to request that each member of the commission respond to the following

46
00:04:48,020 --> 00:04:55,340
questions, and I'm going to go down alphabetically, so, and the question to each commissioner

47
00:04:55,340 --> 00:04:57,760
here, can you hear me well?

48
00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:01,660
And so, first, Commissioner Harris, can you hear me well?

49
00:05:02,220 --> 00:05:02,500
Yes.

50
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,200
Thank you, see you.

51
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:06,900
Commissioner Harris, can you hear me well?

52
00:05:14,490 --> 00:05:16,390
I thought you said Steve, I can hear you.

53
00:05:16,590 --> 00:05:17,090
OK, good.

54
00:05:17,130 --> 00:05:17,750
Thank you.

55
00:05:18,270 --> 00:05:19,090
Vice Chair Liz Raga?

56
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:20,990
Yes sir.

57
00:05:21,290 --> 00:05:21,570
Perfect.

58
00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:23,390
And Commissioner Lopez,

59
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:31,770
can you see if...

60
00:05:31,770 --> 00:05:32,730
if Fresher's bonding?

61
00:05:34,330 --> 00:05:35,090
We can't hear you.

62
00:05:36,330 --> 00:05:37,010
Are you muted?

63
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:50,980
Thanks from my side. It looks like your audio is not connected. You might need to click on the microphone in the bottom left corner and choose to commit your audio by a computer.

64
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,300
If that doesn't work, you can dial in to the meeting with a telephone.

65
00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:17,850
Come back.

66
00:06:17,950 --> 00:06:20,750
If you could hear me, I'm actually going to email you.

67
00:06:20,850 --> 00:06:22,730
I'm going to zoom in when you can get in.

68
00:06:22,730 --> 00:06:31,910
Okay, okay, so let's take just a second lead Fred work that through so we can get him on the record is is

69
00:06:31,910 --> 00:06:34,010
hearing as for the

70
00:06:34,970 --> 00:06:35,450
Guidelines

71
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:22,000
print it doesn't like your connection now, but and your microphone does not look like it's muted, but I do not dare you if you're talking

72
00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:27,510
No, we can't hear you my friend

73
00:07:44,580 --> 00:07:56,680
Okay. Jay, maybe you can get a call and we'll kind of start through the meeting. We'll come back and we can actually connect with them for that verbal.

74
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:12,260
Okay, so my next question to each member is each member of the commission, and I know that this will show up on the screen in front of you, which will be a copy of the agenda for the meeting.

75
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:19,140
And so, again, I'll go down through the list, Commissioner Harris, can you see the agenda

76
00:08:19,140 --> 00:08:22,200
or have you add access to it?

77
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:22,540
Yes.

78
00:08:23,060 --> 00:08:24,640
Thank you.

79
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,720
Commissioner Hurst.

80
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:27,560
Yes.

81
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:28,940
Thank you.

82
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,300
Vice Chair, Liz Draga.

83
00:08:37,030 --> 00:08:37,650
Marquay, thank you.

84
00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:38,070
Maybe,

85
00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:43,700
go.

86
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,740
I don't see you and you look muted.

87
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:46,560
There we go.

88
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,460
So Vice Chair, Liz Draga, if you have access to the agenda.

89
00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:57,590
job your muted so my friend. Yes, I do have a good day.

90
00:08:58,090 --> 00:09:00,170
There you go. Thank you. Thank you.

91
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:03,220
Okay,

92
00:09:06,740 --> 00:09:14,660
Commission Secretary, Erica, have you posted the agenda at a location reasonably accessible to the public?

93
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:24,960
Yes, I have. Thank you. The record should reflect that we have one, two, three, four.

94
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:30,200
No, we have one, two, three, four, five members present, because I don't see the way

95
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:37,180
I've fris in attendance this evening, is that your records that you show, Erica?

96
00:09:38,900 --> 00:09:39,580
Is that as correct?

97
00:09:40,060 --> 00:09:40,160
Okay.

98
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,380
I just joined sorry commissioner Ross.

99
00:09:43,620 --> 00:09:44,100
Oh, press.

100
00:09:44,380 --> 00:09:44,720
Hey, welcome.

101
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:45,600
Good to see you.

102
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:46,500
Thank you.

103
00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:54,520
Okay, so, so amend that that we that we have six members of the commission attending this

104
00:09:56,420 --> 00:10:01,720
At this time, also Chris Wally, while you're there, let me ask you the two questions.

105
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,520
Number one, can you hear me clearly?

106
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:05,200
Yes, sir.

107
00:10:05,460 --> 00:10:11,080
And number two, have you had access to the agenda, whether it's on the screen or through

108
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:11,760
the other mechanisms?

109
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,080
Yes, sir.

110
00:10:13,260 --> 00:10:13,880
Thank you.

111
00:10:14,340 --> 00:10:15,440
Fred, can you hear your jet?

112
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:16,880
Okay.

113
00:10:17,060 --> 00:10:20,060
We'll come back and I can see you're there, but we can't hear you.

114
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:21,240
Okay.

115
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:35,760
The next item is if this time I'd like to request that the other city officials in attendance introduced themselves and their positions so that the record can reflect their attendance.

116
00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:43,210
Even Chairman Wellesmembers, the Commission can hide, see Major for the city with us, President.

117
00:10:44,530 --> 00:10:45,730
Good evening, Ken. Welcome.

118
00:10:46,750 --> 00:10:47,490
Thank you.

119
00:10:49,790 --> 00:10:51,450
Good evening, Erica.

120
00:10:53,750 --> 00:10:59,970
Good evening, Erica. Thank you. And we have Brent with us.

121
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,900
Good evening. This is part of the community development director and city and share.

122
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,540
Wonderful. Welcome, Brent.

123
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:18,800
I'd also like to acknowledge Jay Kamera, who's our IT gentleman who helps keep us all square to

124
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,240
in this and as you can see these are not always perfect meetings

125
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,340
and so it's always great

126
00:11:27,340 --> 00:11:32,240
to have somebody in the background to help us with stuff so Jay thank you for all your work.

127
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,480
Now as we go through the agenda I like to request the before speaking you clearly identify yourself

128
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:45,760
each time I know that this can be redundant but it is required for the record and that kind of process

129
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,940
is this is Commissioner Harris, Commissioner Harris, etc.

130
00:11:52,370 --> 00:11:54,890
But the individual speak in pleasing an item

131
00:11:54,890 --> 00:11:59,050
or up, I'd also ask to the greatest extent possible

132
00:11:59,050 --> 00:12:01,610
that everybody mute their phones, cell phones,

133
00:12:02,370 --> 00:12:05,070
especially, or devices when not actively speaking.

134
00:12:05,530 --> 00:12:09,050
And I know that it's easy to forget to mute your self,

135
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:11,170
but please try to remember how to do that.

136
00:12:11,570 --> 00:12:13,810
So we don't get unnecessary background noise.

137
00:12:15,050 --> 00:12:16,790
Now I'd like to advise all Commission members

138
00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:21,890
in the commission secretary, then he votes taken during a self-conference portion of this meeting

139
00:12:21,890 --> 00:12:28,790
must be taken by roll call. In point, tonight we will not have any motions that will require

140
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:36,090
a vote, so this is, we'll have a couple of public meeting people, you know, open and closed

141
00:12:36,090 --> 00:12:41,530
public meetings on us, but there is no actions before the commission that require our vote tonight.

142
00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:50,650
So, at this point, I'd like to ask the Commissioner Harris, if everybody else would mute their

143
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,920
microphones, if Commissioner Harris could lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.

144
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:13,800
Steve D. Glad to. I'd pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

145
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:28,200
Thank you. Now before we move on to the items in the in the agenda tonight, I'd like to ask if there's if the if there any comments.

146
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:40,160
The commissioners would like to make that are not specific to the items on the agenda tonight that would be for the benefits of the city of Woodland and so I'll start with commissioner Harris any comments.

147
00:13:41,460 --> 00:13:45,780
No, not at any. Okay, Steve, thank you. Commissioner Hold.

148
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,200
No, sir.

149
00:13:47,620 --> 00:13:50,040
Thank you. Commissioner, first.

150
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:59,240
Yeah, I'll try and make my comment brief from the other week when I was not able to see her through my very bad internet connection.

151
00:14:00,180 --> 00:14:09,520
It was just in response, I think, to the vote, that we had made about the locking to a property and how I think at the time I didn't make the comment,

152
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:15,640
because I saw that I was very positive and favor of approving the project.

153
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:21,920
But I had a lot of reservations about it, and I think moving forward, we should continue

154
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:27,660
to have reservations about approving such a project, especially with a conditional user,

155
00:14:27,660 --> 00:14:34,840
something like that in our town, just because as we've seen with COVID and the pandemic

156
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,860
and the fragility of our economy and our global health at this point.

157
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,380
And it's already impacted our businesses.

158
00:14:44,060 --> 00:14:49,760
We had delayed some payments made by existing hotels

159
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,160
that were already struggling under occupancy rates,

160
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,440
really low occupancy rates in the city.

161
00:14:56,420 --> 00:14:59,980
And just adding another doesn't really make sense to me.

162
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:30,220
And so I think, as we move forward, if there is another hotel project that, that is before the commission, we think long and hard about how this would actually positively contribute to our overall community, especially given the fact that, you know,

163
00:15:30,220 --> 00:15:34,480
is that we already have and how we could have maybe potentially used that property differently.

164
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,900
I know that it's been a bit of a blight for a while. And obviously I have not been here as

165
00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:43,340
long as the rest of you and how you've been trying to work through these projects. I know it can be

166
00:15:43,340 --> 00:15:49,180
difficult. But to be honest, it was a little disappointing how easily everything went through.

167
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:57,200
I guess I'm not as, yes it looked nice, I guess for a lucky tip, but I guess I'm just not as impressed

168
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,720
with that stuff and trying to keep woodlands.

169
00:16:02,580 --> 00:16:06,280
I think true character shining, instead of continuing

170
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,440
to sort of look like every other path

171
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,940
through on the highway in that area.

172
00:16:13,620 --> 00:16:18,060
And so yeah, I would just put a note out there

173
00:16:18,060 --> 00:16:21,020
of caution and hesitancy and thinking twice

174
00:16:21,020 --> 00:16:22,980
about this project, so if we see them again.

175
00:16:22,980 --> 00:16:25,760
Good. Okay. All right. Thank you. Okay.

176
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:30,180
Nice chair. Let's rock up.

177
00:16:32,610 --> 00:16:35,790
Marking. Okay. Thank you.

178
00:16:36,450 --> 00:16:40,070
Commissioner Lopez. If you can hear us yet, are you able to hear us my friend?

179
00:16:43,250 --> 00:16:45,070
Yeah. You can hear us. Can you speak?

180
00:16:46,430 --> 00:16:47,850
No sound for you. Okay.

181
00:16:48,750 --> 00:16:55,050
Okay. Well, if you get that figured out with Jayden, we'll, we'll, we'll be able to bring you in.

182
00:16:55,750 --> 00:17:04,870
Okay, the next item is, I have no comments, and so moving on to the next item.

183
00:17:07,910 --> 00:17:14,670
Do we have any communications from the public, Erica, that we need to provide to the board

184
00:17:14,670 --> 00:17:15,270
at all?

185
00:17:17,580 --> 00:17:20,660
We do not see any emails in that regard.

186
00:17:21,460 --> 00:17:23,600
I'll ask Jeff, he seems to anybody.

187
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,780
No, I mean, that question would be just a stuff that's not before that's not going to be for the commission to speak.

188
00:17:31,910 --> 00:17:32,730
No, no, no, no, no.

189
00:17:32,750 --> 00:17:34,290
Relications on your side. Okay.

190
00:17:34,610 --> 00:17:36,790
We have no minutes to approve of the speeding.

191
00:17:39,450 --> 00:17:44,270
And the business item will have one business item on the agenda tonight.

192
00:17:44,910 --> 00:17:49,350
There's two portions of this agenda.

193
00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:59,830
One is a draft environmental impact report and then the second is the comment on a project that

194
00:17:59,830 --> 00:18:08,250
you know, staff will also make so for both of those. So at this point staff will first provide a presentation, both can hire

195
00:18:08,250 --> 00:18:15,910
Erica Bumbarner and rep Meyer and Matthew Birkin. I don't know if you had Matthew on here.

196
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,340
Yes, he's on the top.

197
00:18:18,620 --> 00:18:21,420
Okay, good. So, Erica, take it away.

198
00:18:22,700 --> 00:18:28,900
Okay, I do see Marco. Don't you hear that? Say something. So, while I can, can you let me share my screen

199
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:34,820
or do I just say yes? I'll take it up. Yeah, going to the video. I'll go ahead. Marco, go ahead.

200
00:18:35,020 --> 00:18:39,040
Yes, I have one question for Chairman. I'm sorry to interrupt.

201
00:18:39,660 --> 00:18:42,200
But do we have any shop community reports?

202
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:44,940
I think if that's a community meeting.

203
00:18:46,740 --> 00:18:50,660
So I think we might have a subcommittee report.

204
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,460
Let's go ahead and ask that question now.

205
00:18:57,340 --> 00:19:01,900
So Marco, do you have a subcommittee report on the cannabis issue?

206
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,900
I think it might be Mr. Harris.

207
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:05,860
OK.

208
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:06,480
Steve?

209
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:18,520
Today we were represented at the subcommittee by Valerie and myself, Marco had work issues, so he was not able to join us.

210
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:28,370
A lot was done today, some really healthy discussion, Valerie, would you like to brief or would you like me to brief?

211
00:19:29,030 --> 00:19:32,010
I can add in as needed. I mean, we discussed.

212
00:19:32,010 --> 00:19:36,010
We haven't just, you do it and I'll fill in if I need to.

213
00:19:36,070 --> 00:19:36,850
Please do.

214
00:19:37,310 --> 00:19:45,990
We discussed if we would like to see a cap on the number of businesses retail outlets,

215
00:19:47,470 --> 00:19:49,670
potentially located within withland.

216
00:19:51,470 --> 00:19:57,850
I don't know if I want to say what we decided because we did decide on a second meeting

217
00:19:57,850 --> 00:20:04,510
to finalize those results, I think it's looking towards, we like the idea of retail, we like

218
00:20:04,510 --> 00:20:09,670
the idea of retail and delivery and we're also warmed the idea of a retail and distribution

219
00:20:09,670 --> 00:20:21,450
site within the city. We also talked about leaning towards tax tax rate that is ranging between

220
00:20:21,450 --> 00:20:29,390
10 and 15 percent were thinking of around four locations total were sort of starting out slow

221
00:20:30,070 --> 00:20:35,130
because we'd like to see what interest we're getting, which does seem to be quite a bit,

222
00:20:35,330 --> 00:20:40,850
but we'd also like to see how everything fits and feels for our community and then we can always

223
00:20:40,850 --> 00:20:47,960
expand from there in terms of issuing additional permits for more businesses to step in.

224
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:55,140
And we're looking, I, you know, I off the top of my head, I'm probably going to get the zoning

225
00:20:55,140 --> 00:21:02,700
names incorrect, but I don't know if we're looking at some downtown areas, some mixed

226
00:21:05,770 --> 00:21:06,930
commercial

227
00:21:08,070 --> 00:21:11,150
and light industrial flex. Is that correct, Steve?

228
00:21:12,050 --> 00:21:13,810
Did that pretty well, sounds enough?

229
00:21:14,610 --> 00:21:20,650
Yeah, yeah. Steve, I have one question and I'd like to put to the subcommittee

230
00:21:20,650 --> 00:21:28,030
And one of the items that we, that there may have been some confusion about Trump, as confused

231
00:21:28,030 --> 00:21:36,070
about whether or not, is that when we become linked into the retail cannabis, if we

232
00:21:36,070 --> 00:21:44,810
go that route, does a city of women have the ability to participate in the state of California's

233
00:21:44,810 --> 00:21:51,770
exercise tax on kind of that big bucket of tax money that is collected for retail sales

234
00:21:52,830 --> 00:21:55,250
or, you know, what's kind of the process.

235
00:21:55,390 --> 00:21:56,890
You need not have the answer to that tonight.

236
00:21:56,950 --> 00:21:57,190
No.

237
00:21:57,370 --> 00:21:59,650
I like that maybe for the next meeting.

238
00:22:00,350 --> 00:22:02,730
Commissioner, I can tell you that it was brought up.

239
00:22:02,850 --> 00:22:06,750
And I think Mr. Hyatt probably speaks best to that issue.

240
00:22:07,170 --> 00:22:07,430
Okay.

241
00:22:07,990 --> 00:22:10,350
Well, why don't we rather addressing that tonight?

242
00:22:11,050 --> 00:22:14,270
Why don't we bring that back to the next after you've had your next.

243
00:22:14,270 --> 00:22:22,010
committee commission meeting committee meeting and we can report back but that's when I don't that I'd like to have a response to

244
00:22:23,290 --> 00:22:29,970
Okay, you'll do any other questions from before we leave any other questions from the commissioners

245
00:22:30,140 --> 00:22:36,280
On the cannabis question for the subcommittee.

246
00:22:39,740 --> 00:22:43,220
Hearing none, we will move on.

247
00:22:43,860 --> 00:22:52,660
So, and then, Chris, any comment, any subcommittee reports on architectural activities?

248
00:22:55,040 --> 00:23:04,260
Not right at this moment, I do have a fresh housing in hand for approval.

249
00:23:04,460 --> 00:23:09,500
If you guys will remember, it's one out at the end of East Street near Sports Park area.

250
00:23:09,780 --> 00:23:11,000
It's very minor modification.

251
00:23:11,740 --> 00:23:19,460
I'm going to look at that and get back to making about that by the end of the week so that she can move forward with that.

252
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,440
But nothing of no.

253
00:23:21,860 --> 00:23:22,180
Okay.

254
00:23:22,180 --> 00:23:28,330
Chris, thank you. Okay, once again, now we'll let's go back to the presentation. And so,

255
00:23:29,420 --> 00:23:30,620
Eric, I take it away.

256
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:38,340
Actually, Trevor Wells, I go ahead and say a few brief words of the introduction and handed over to Eric.

257
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:53,820
You know, in first just to say it's good to be back before the commission after what it's been about a four year process since the application first came in and about the end of the

258
00:23:53,820 --> 00:24:02,720
to be involved with, and as you recall, the general plan, one of the key themes of course was around economic development, job diversification,

259
00:24:03,340 --> 00:24:11,560
how do we leverage proximity to, you know, one of the world's best research institutes and food, and agriculture, animal health and whatnot.

260
00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:23,800
And as part of that, right, identified a particular area of the community, right around the 25A interchange, including this property as well as the property to the west side.

261
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:29,060
of 11325A interchange as our key in really primary opportunity

262
00:24:29,060 --> 00:24:32,460
in the short run to capture some of that research

263
00:24:32,460 --> 00:24:35,800
innovation commercialization spin out.

264
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,780
And then in the agenda plan, I identified the potential

265
00:24:38,780 --> 00:24:42,380
to create a research and technology hub at this location.

266
00:24:42,620 --> 00:24:46,080
So this project was really borne out of that general plan process.

267
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:50,940
The last four years have been through a very lengthy process

268
00:24:50,940 --> 00:24:58,220
and very thoughtful process about how to craft a specific plan, development plan for 350 acres.

269
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:04,320
Now, call the Woodland Research and Technology Park project. We release these specific

270
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:10,540
plan document in November of last year for public clear view. Let's still in draft form and

271
00:25:10,540 --> 00:25:18,700
public comments. Are still welcome on that up until the beginning of July. The other important

272
00:25:18,700 --> 00:25:25,960
piece of the process for review and consideration is the draft environmental impact report,

273
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:31,680
which was released on May 14th, and so tonight's meeting is really about two things.

274
00:25:31,780 --> 00:25:37,460
One is to give the commission in the public an opportunity to provide additional comments

275
00:25:37,460 --> 00:25:43,180
or even ask questions around the specific plan, document itself, and things that you would

276
00:25:43,180 --> 00:25:51,200
to have considered as we finalize the specific plan to bring it back through for final hearings later this summer early fall.

277
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:59,920
And then before that we are providing an opportunity for the commission to hear presentation on the findings of the draft environmental impact report

278
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:10,380
give the commission a chance to weigh in on any comments they may have on the findings of the EIR as well as give the public an opportunity to provide comments to the

279
00:26:10,380 --> 00:26:15,920
interested. So without there's no formal action being asked of the commission this evening,

280
00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:23,920
we're just simply looking for an opportunity for, sorry I don't know if my internet

281
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:30,640
connection is glitching and looks like it is on my end but apologize if it is. So no formal

282
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:35,640
action from the commission, but just comments, questions are welcome, both from the commission

283
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:41,580
the public. So with that, I was handed over to Erica to walk you guys through a presentation

284
00:26:41,580 --> 00:26:48,340
on where we're at in the process, some specific details around a specific planned document

285
00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:54,000
to EIRs as well. So look forward to hearing the commission's discussion this evening and bring

286
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:00,780
back a final set of documents for your consideration in your near-charge. Great. Ken, thank you.

287
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,760
Yeah, all right. Well, thank you. Good evening, Chairman Wells. Members of the Commission.

288
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:19,500
So again, as Ken mentioned, the purpose of tonight's meeting is primarily to provide yet another opportunity for the public, as well as a plan and commission to provide comments on the draft specific plan and draft EIR.

289
00:27:20,340 --> 00:27:26,760
The draft specific plan has been before the Commission on a few separate occasions, so we'll try to keep my presentation somewhat brief.

290
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:32,420
And then I'll be turning it over to Matthew Gergen with A.E. Com, our Environmental Consultant

291
00:27:32,420 --> 00:27:37,280
to provide an overview of the draft EIR and SQL process as it relates to the project.

292
00:27:38,580 --> 00:27:44,160
As Chairman Wells pointed out, following Matthew's presentation, we will ask that you open

293
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:51,540
for a public comment period on the draft EIR specifically, comments received during that period

294
00:27:51,540 --> 00:27:56,940
We'll go into the record and we'll be formally responded to in the final EIR response to comments.

295
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,500
And now people probably talk a little bit more about that in his presentation.

296
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,900
Staff in the consultant team will not be responding to comments or questions on the draft EIR.

297
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:11,900
Receive this evening as there is an administrative process for accepting and responding to comments on the EIR.

298
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:19,260
But again, we'll be taking excellent notes and all comments we'll be responded to in the final EIR, which will be made available to the public.

299
00:28:19,260 --> 00:28:25,300
and will be presented at a public hearing of the Planning Commission and the City Council before final certification.

300
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:32,700
If any member of the public wishes to have their comments accounted for verbatim in the final EIR,

301
00:28:32,860 --> 00:28:41,500
you will need to email me or mail me those comments directly otherwise any oral comments provided tonight will be summarized for that final document.

302
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:54,280
And then following the public comment period on the draft EIR, we will then ask the chair to provide an opportunity for public and commission members to provide feedback on the specific plan itself.

303
00:28:54,520 --> 00:29:01,500
So there will be an opportunity for more general comment and discussion on the specific plan before we wrap up at the item this evening.

304
00:29:02,820 --> 00:29:05,520
So before jumping into the specific plan,

305
00:29:05,660 --> 00:29:07,360
as Penn noted, I wanted to provide the commission

306
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,120
with a quick update on the schedule.

307
00:29:10,020 --> 00:29:11,940
Just looking quickly at where we've been,

308
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,440
right, Council approve the development

309
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,340
of the specific plan back in June of 2017 on the heels

310
00:29:17,340 --> 00:29:20,300
of the adoption of the Woodland General plan.

311
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,420
Since that time preparation of the specific plan

312
00:29:23,420 --> 00:29:25,840
and environmental analysis has been underway.

313
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,580
In November 2020, as Penn mentioned,

314
00:29:28,580 --> 00:29:33,640
the public green view draft was the specific plan was released and introduced out a meeting

315
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,700
of the City Council and the Planning Commission.

316
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:42,040
And then from that time, actually really beginning earlier, or the beginning part of this

317
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:47,200
year, January February, a number of community and stakeholder meetings have been held to

318
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:53,300
share the draft plan and obtain valuable public feedback to community presentations were held

319
00:29:53,300 --> 00:29:59,880
virtually in February with approximately 110 days at both meetings, we were able to address

320
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:11,880
A lot of questions during those webinars and subsequently launched an FAQ page on the project website based on the 150 or so questions we received during those two presentations.

321
00:30:13,140 --> 00:30:21,240
The project was also shared with the Parks and Recreation Commission and with the Sustainability Commission focusing on relevant components of the plan.

322
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:25,860
And then, between staff and the applicant team, the plan has been presented to several

323
00:30:25,860 --> 00:30:31,260
community and stakeholder organization, including local Rotaries, Coannas Chamber of Commerce,

324
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:37,100
the Woodland Tech Alliance, and some regional groups and some UC Davis groups as well.

325
00:30:38,140 --> 00:30:42,680
And so, then, in May of the draft year was released, with the public comment period closing

326
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:49,180
on July 2nd, on July 6th, we will be providing an update to the City Council on outreach

327
00:30:49,180 --> 00:30:54,520
and community feedback received to that point and get direction as we head into the preparation

328
00:30:54,520 --> 00:31:01,200
of the final documents and then following that meeting we will be working toward a financing

329
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:07,780
plan in terms for the development agreements. We'll likely introduce those items to City Council

330
00:31:07,780 --> 00:31:13,500
in August, September, timeframe for initial feedback and direction and then we'll be heading into

331
00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:18,460
those final recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council on adoption of the plan,

332
00:31:18,460 --> 00:31:23,220
the final EIR around the September October time frame.

333
00:31:24,580 --> 00:31:34,840
So outreach to the community and stakeholder groups to take in many forms and in attempt to reach as many people as possible that may be interested in this project.

334
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,400
A list of some of those methods are listed here on your screen.

335
00:31:39,620 --> 00:31:47,220
Without oversimplifying, I would say feedback we have received today has been overall positive and supportive of the plan.

336
00:31:47,220 --> 00:31:54,960
particularly the tech park jobs components. Also in just a moment to give you a quick summary of some of the more frequent questions.

337
00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:02,940
We've received in some of the areas of concern and how we plan to address those or how the plan addresses those particular concerns.

338
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:18,880
So we did receive feedback from stakeholder groups as well as the Commission, the Planning Commission that maintaining a balance of jobs and residential development through the life of the plan is very important and we absolutely agree.

339
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:24,820
This is a research and technology center first and foremost with housing to support those jobs.

340
00:32:24,820 --> 00:32:41,500
So the project financing plan and development agreements to be approved with the adoption of the specific plan will inform that specific tie between the residential and non-residential development to ensure that that balance is maintained through built out of the plan.

341
00:32:42,900 --> 00:32:48,260
We've also received quite a few comments around the development of a school site in the project.

342
00:32:48,260 --> 00:33:03,260
The plan area does allow for a 10 acre elementary school site and goes so far as to identify the preferred location in the plan just north of the 11 acre linear park and the school site is recognized in the draft EIR.

343
00:33:04,220 --> 00:33:10,580
The applicant team is the part of a school side of the project area and looks to this school district to determine the need.

344
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:17,920
City staff and the applicant team as well as the school district are currently in discussion on that item to identify timing,

345
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,320
need, and funding mechanisms, and how the project can support the district in this area.

346
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:32,180
I've been in conversation with a few individuals and received some great written feedback as well on sustainability aspects of the plan.

347
00:33:32,180 --> 00:33:36,260
So the applicant team is looking to see where we can incorporate some of those suggestions

348
00:33:36,260 --> 00:33:42,680
as we finalize the document, to ensure that the project is a leader in sustainable design and resiliency.

349
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,760
Parking also came up. It always managed to come up in one of the community presentations,

350
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:54,420
housing, February. There is some concern that there may not be enough parking in the

351
00:33:54,420 --> 00:34:00,500
non-residential areas, resulting in possible parking still over into the residential neighborhoods.

352
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:06,240
We took a look back at the parking standards and I'm positive that there will be ample parking.

353
00:34:06,660 --> 00:34:13,920
We'll be provided in both the private lots as well as on site and on street parking.

354
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:22,120
But honestly, I don't want it to be too comfortable for folks as a key component of the plan is to get people out of the single occupant vehicles.

355
00:34:22,660 --> 00:34:29,700
We want them like walking and biking or taking alternative forms or modes of travel to work.

356
00:34:29,700 --> 00:34:39,720
And we want them utilizing the mobility hub and then cutting down on those large swaths of asphalt for parking, which we all know contribute to the heat urban hate island effect.

357
00:34:41,260 --> 00:34:47,120
And then lastly, one of the areas we here get more questions about is affordable housing.

358
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:54,640
As the commission will recall the plan, promotes affordable housing opportunities in two ways.

359
00:34:54,640 --> 00:35:12,580
First, the project is subject to the city's affordable housing ordinance, which requires a percentage of being units to be developed, that are developed to be restricted at low and very low income levels, or that an in-movie be paid to support low income housing development, either in the plan area and throughout the city.

360
00:35:12,580 --> 00:35:17,740
And then secondly, the plan includes a variety of densities and housing types.

361
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:24,900
Over half of the residential area in the plan is down for medium and high density housing,

362
00:35:24,900 --> 00:35:29,760
which supports the smaller lots, lots sizes and smaller housing units,

363
00:35:30,420 --> 00:35:34,640
allowing for some of that affordability by design that we've talked about.

364
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:41,500
So I've mentioned the city prepared an FAQ page on the project website addressing many

365
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:43,900
if not all of the comments we received today.

366
00:35:44,580 --> 00:35:48,760
Many more than I just covered but those were some of the more common area and more common

367
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:49,340
questions.

368
00:35:50,140 --> 00:35:55,780
If people have concerns or questions about the plan, I would encourage them to start at the FAQ

369
00:35:55,780 --> 00:35:56,200
page.

370
00:35:56,220 --> 00:35:57,360
It's a great resource.

371
00:35:57,940 --> 00:36:01,680
And of course, I'm available or members of the applicant team are available by phone

372
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:08,640
email anytime for questions my information is available on the website and it'll be on the

373
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:14,200
end of this presentation as well. All right so I'm going to jump into a quick refresh on the

374
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:22,380
specific plan itself. So the 350 acre plan area located just west of spring lake bound by

375
00:36:22,380 --> 00:36:28,100
Harry Lorenzo and Highway 113 on the eastern west, farmer central road on the north and then down

376
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:33,800
just passed 25 to the South to the city's urban limit line.

377
00:36:34,980 --> 00:36:39,720
The specific plan will implement the goals and policies of the city's general plan for

378
00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:45,880
new growth areas as P1A, which is defined in the general plan as a mixed residential district

379
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:50,880
anchored by a research and technology business park, providing a prime opportunity for job

380
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,420
creation and diversification within woodlands.

381
00:36:53,420 --> 00:37:00,140
So to that, Andy will find in the first couple of chapters of the draft specific plan, the project

382
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:05,460
skyding, principles and policies derived from the general plan that shaped the overall

383
00:37:05,460 --> 00:37:10,380
development framework around land use, sustainability, circulation and economic development.

384
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,760
And of course, it is an vision that the plan area will develop as a state-of-the-art

385
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:21,620
innovation center campus for technology, R&D and office uses, including opportunities for

386
00:37:21,620 --> 00:37:24,340
existing companies to grow and expand the locally.

387
00:37:26,580 --> 00:37:29,980
The planned area was conceptualized.

388
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:41,120
Being comprised of three core districts, the technology park, the village center in the villages or residential districts, from which the underlying zoning and development standards were developed.

389
00:37:42,420 --> 00:37:57,820
The technology park district is approximately 120 acres and size located along the western boundary of the plan area and will accommodate about 2.2 million square feet of business park and commercial uses through integrated and well connected campus environment.

390
00:37:57,820 --> 00:38:08,880
The residential or village district, approximately 135 acres and located along the eastern boundary immediately adjacent to spring lake.

391
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:16,060
The village district will accommodate about 1600 residential units of a variety of types and densities, as I mentioned.

392
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:24,780
But we'll transition to those lower densities as you approach the eastern boundary to allow for a seamless transition to the existing spring lake community.

393
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:31,880
And then we have the Village Center, which is approximately 45 acres in size and it's really

394
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:37,980
that heart of the plan area, it's centrally located between the tech park and the village's

395
00:38:37,980 --> 00:38:44,300
woe consists of a dynamic mixed-use town center, the mobility hub and a levonic or linear

396
00:38:44,300 --> 00:38:45,340
park.

397
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:50,640
And the Village Center keeps saying right provides that central gathering place for employees,

398
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:55,780
residents and visitors to relax and connect and importantly for the innovation component will provide

399
00:38:55,780 --> 00:39:02,660
that opportunity for some informal networking as well. And then within this specifically and document

400
00:39:02,660 --> 00:39:07,580
the district concepts allow to highlight and guide the development objectives with each individual

401
00:39:07,580 --> 00:39:13,300
within each of those individual districts, the unique aspects of the tech park versus the village

402
00:39:13,300 --> 00:39:18,600
center in the residential areas. And then sub districts within those three core areas allow for

403
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:25,680
or green discussion and guidance of important transitions, and relationships between each of the districts

404
00:39:26,180 --> 00:39:31,620
as reflected in the design and development standards, and in the land use or permitted use tables.

405
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:36,000
And then collectively, all three of those districts work together to create a unique,

406
00:39:36,140 --> 00:39:40,420
work-led play environment that we believe will attract the high quality companies,

407
00:39:40,740 --> 00:39:45,920
drawn by the project location, and amenities for employers and employees alike.

408
00:39:54,460 --> 00:40:00,760
So, a key objective of that plan area is environmental sustainability, both the plan level and

409
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:05,620
not the individual project level, development requirements outlined in chapter 3 of the plan

410
00:40:05,620 --> 00:40:09,880
include project consistency of the city's climate action plan, which will help the city

411
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,640
reach into the greenhouse gas reduction targets.

412
00:40:13,260 --> 00:40:17,960
The specific plan is leaning toward all electric, you will see solar panels, you will see

413
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:23,380
EV charges, and the project will also upon adoption developed what's called the transportation

414
00:40:23,380 --> 00:40:30,600
management or TBM program that will achieve a minimum of 10% reduction in vehicle miles traveled

415
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:35,340
meaning a reduction in car trips. And this is really in addition to some of the foundational

416
00:40:35,340 --> 00:40:42,640
elements of the plan design as a mixed use community with a focus on the alternative transportation

417
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:48,560
that will allow encourage more people to walk to work or utilize alternative modes of travel.

418
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:57,360
So then on the transportation and circulation, the plan area, again, is built on a concept

419
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:03,300
of enhanced and prioritized pedestrian connectivity, rather than on auto-dominance and

420
00:41:03,300 --> 00:41:04,680
or auto-dependence.

421
00:41:04,900 --> 00:41:09,960
The map on your screen shows the active transportation network, as described in chapter

422
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:15,720
4, the plan, the project area at Build Out will incorporate nearly five miles of phosphon, pedestrian

423
00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:21,680
in bike facilities, meaning the tensile wide, off-street, green belts and multi-strails and

424
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:27,260
in additional 3.5 miles of class 2 on street bike lanes, encouraging walking and biking

425
00:41:27,260 --> 00:41:29,740
rather than dependence on auto-trips.

426
00:41:34,620 --> 00:41:41,360
The mobility hub located along road B and the village center will serve as the core of the alternative

427
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:46,940
transportation system providing that integrated access to transit service including an

428
00:41:46,940 --> 00:41:51,760
eventual connector to UC Davis and the type park the hub will offer multiple like

429
00:41:52,380 --> 00:41:57,500
last mile connectivity your rideshare over share to scooter share amenities

430
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:03,940
and then right the location of the mobility hub at the village center was really intentional

431
00:42:04,620 --> 00:42:10,580
with the idea that amenities in the village center like the cafes the market co-working spaces

432
00:42:10,580 --> 00:42:15,480
will enhance that hub as a place of connection and will encourage alternative transportation use,

433
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,280
it's not really your typical kind of boring, secluded bus stop.

434
00:42:22,050 --> 00:42:23,010
So, home stretch guys,

435
00:42:23,490 --> 00:42:29,950
hang in there. So, some key roadways in roadways in spring-like specifically Parkland Avenue,

436
00:42:30,390 --> 00:42:34,830
and Marston Drive will connect into the tech part to further enhance the connectivity

437
00:42:35,350 --> 00:42:40,250
to the business part campus, the village center and the linear part. However, buffered

438
00:42:40,250 --> 00:42:44,970
and off-street class one-by-class on both of these roadway extensions

439
00:42:44,970 --> 00:42:48,970
between Harry Lorenzo and Robby will support pedestrian and bite connectivity.

440
00:42:50,210 --> 00:42:53,850
Parkland Avenue will eventually extend west over Highway 113,

441
00:42:53,990 --> 00:42:57,930
but that over-pass extension is planned with the future SP1B

442
00:42:57,930 --> 00:43:00,310
development on the west side of 113.

443
00:43:00,990 --> 00:43:05,670
And then all segments of county road 25A between 102 and 113 will completed,

444
00:43:05,670 --> 00:43:08,850
But we'll be completed with the specific clean build out,

445
00:43:08,850 --> 00:43:11,390
like the first half of the build out,

446
00:43:11,550 --> 00:43:13,870
including the extension of that urban forest trail

447
00:43:13,870 --> 00:43:16,070
on the north side of 25A.

448
00:43:17,730 --> 00:43:19,590
Circulation planning within the tech park

449
00:43:19,590 --> 00:43:23,150
to, you know, possible concerns around increased traffic volume

450
00:43:23,150 --> 00:43:26,170
in spring light into consideration very early

451
00:43:26,170 --> 00:43:29,950
in the planning stages, where existing roadway networks

452
00:43:29,950 --> 00:43:32,590
within spring light were designed to extend

453
00:43:32,590 --> 00:43:34,150
into the tech park plan area,

454
00:43:34,150 --> 00:43:38,070
like Parkland and Marston, roadway design,

455
00:43:38,290 --> 00:43:40,230
particularly for those clean extensions

456
00:43:40,230 --> 00:43:42,890
incorporate a variety of design features

457
00:43:42,890 --> 00:43:44,270
and traffic calming measures,

458
00:43:44,530 --> 00:43:47,750
including traffic circles, signalized intersections,

459
00:43:48,250 --> 00:43:51,650
narrow roadway widths, enhanced pedestrian crossing,

460
00:43:51,950 --> 00:43:53,370
non-street parking bike lanes,

461
00:43:53,750 --> 00:43:56,830
that all have the effect of reducing the at goal speeds.

462
00:43:58,290 --> 00:44:00,550
A traffic study was completed by the city

463
00:44:00,550 --> 00:44:03,350
that's looked at roadway segments and intersections

464
00:44:03,350 --> 00:44:10,050
through out spring lake. I'm going to ask Brett Meyer, the city's KD development director and

465
00:44:10,050 --> 00:44:16,810
city engineer to take over real quick and give a brief update. Hi, level overview on the results

466
00:44:16,810 --> 00:44:22,430
of that traffic study. And when he's done, we'll go ahead and transition right into Matthew Gorkin

467
00:44:22,430 --> 00:44:24,910
to give a brief overview on the draft EIR.

468
00:44:27,570 --> 00:44:31,950
Great. Hello, everyone. Let's see, Arthur. Can you go

469
00:44:31,950 --> 00:44:33,670
next slide please.

470
00:44:35,770 --> 00:44:39,370
Okay, so a little bit of background on the traffic study. It was very

471
00:44:39,370 --> 00:44:46,450
comprehensive. You can see another number of study intersections here was very comprehensive. So

472
00:44:46,450 --> 00:44:52,630
you can see all the way up to East Main Street. There were five intersections studied on East Main Street

473
00:44:52,630 --> 00:44:59,010
far north of the project site, significant amount of intersections looked at within the tech park

474
00:44:59,010 --> 00:44:59,970
as well as in spring.

475
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:07,160
Like, and then north of spring lake, and then covering four, well, technically five different

476
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:13,920
inner changes within the city. So, very comprehensive, a little bit of background on traffic

477
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:20,780
cities in general in California. Traditionally, we've looked at level of service, which is a

478
00:45:20,780 --> 00:45:28,520
measure of delay within roadways and intersections. More recently, the state has moved to VMT,

479
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:35,060
which is vehicle miles traveled, the issue is that level of service tended to cause cities

480
00:45:35,060 --> 00:45:41,060
and counties to increase the size of roadway infrastructure, focusing on the roadway

481
00:45:41,060 --> 00:45:47,200
itself and not as much on other modes of transportation, vehicle miles traveled, focuses

482
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:55,480
more on reducing overall use of autos and it also results in more mixed use of development

483
00:45:55,480 --> 00:46:00,020
and a compact development as a host or urban sprawl.

484
00:46:00,860 --> 00:46:05,440
So, technically we did look at vehicles miles traveled as part of SQL.

485
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,920
There were no, let's see, I believe there were no impacts.

486
00:46:10,100 --> 00:46:16,740
Found was a result of that, because level of service is still a concern for residents.

487
00:46:16,900 --> 00:46:24,420
We are concerned about how traffic will function within the tech park and areas surrounding it within the city of Woodland.

488
00:46:24,420 --> 00:46:31,600
we did look at level of service. Generally speaking, let's see, look at my notes here.

489
00:46:34,060 --> 00:46:34,440
We didn't

490
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:39,340
have any significant issues with level of service except for roadways that were already

491
00:46:39,340 --> 00:46:45,400
aware of level of service issues. So for example, if you look at, can you see my cursor here

492
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:53,040
on my, I guess I have a different view? Okay, I'm up here at East Main Street. So historically speaking,

493
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:57,560
And when we've looked at traffic studies anywhere in the city, any time you look at East

494
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:04,940
Main Street and I-5 East Main Street and I-113, we're taking on freeway to freeway traffic

495
00:47:04,940 --> 00:47:09,380
in that area and generally speaking those intersections in the general plan time horizon

496
00:47:09,380 --> 00:47:15,160
are looking at level of service E or F which is basically very bad level of service delays

497
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:22,960
in the 90 to 100 seconds for intersection that doesn't really change with or without this project.

498
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:28,820
Other intersections that are historically going to problem, as spring-like to build

499
00:47:28,820 --> 00:47:34,960
route is Pioneer and Gibson, and then here are the Renzo Avenue and Gibson.

500
00:47:36,180 --> 00:47:37,980
And part of that's just a function of the geography.

501
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,160
We only have two nor south roads.

502
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,880
At this point, we only have Pioneer that actually goes through.

503
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:51,120
And so you get over to 102, and that's just because of the presence of 113, and the further

504
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:56,980
significant size of the community college, county jail, complex, and pioneer high school.

505
00:47:58,620 --> 00:48:07,100
So those are still bad intersections from a traffic delayed perspective with and without this project.

506
00:48:08,420 --> 00:48:24,680
But other than that, generally everything is within the city's level of service standards, although it's not a secret standard, we still have a level of service standard that we adhere to just in terms of having reasonable traffic flow.

507
00:48:26,060 --> 00:48:28,920
Let's see here.

508
00:48:29,740 --> 00:48:33,320
My note, so somewhere is a few key improvements.

509
00:48:33,780 --> 00:48:36,040
Let's see, is that the next slide or two back, Erica?

510
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:37,240
Good.

511
00:48:37,500 --> 00:48:38,120
Okay, thank you.

512
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:42,260
So at the intersection of 25A and 113 interchange,

513
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,880
we'll have a expanded interchange.

514
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,580
We're currently working with CalTrans proposing roundabouts

515
00:48:50,580 --> 00:48:53,880
at the two offerings, both northbound and southbound offerings.

516
00:48:55,500 --> 00:49:01,840
provides adequate level of service for the growth of SP1A or the tech park and also growth

517
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:05,720
that's planned on the west side of the freeway.

518
00:49:06,980 --> 00:49:11,900
So, and it's relatively affordable compared to other types of interchange improvements.

519
00:49:13,460 --> 00:49:19,800
Some of the other big ones roundabouts will continue putting in roundabouts as we have in

520
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:26,740
brain lake 25A and road D is one and then north of that most in and road D is also going to

521
00:49:26,740 --> 00:49:33,020
be around about the other row around about as shown in the drawing that are more at interface

522
00:49:33,020 --> 00:49:41,460
of private development and roads you can see enhanced crossings so probably the most significant

523
00:49:41,460 --> 00:49:48,600
And we're showing one here at the intersection on road B, across the street from the yard

524
00:49:49,820 --> 00:49:56,680
and the commercial development, or business park across the street from there, there may

525
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:04,620
be more than one in between the two intersections of Marston and road E. Then also at road E

526
00:50:04,620 --> 00:50:10,280
and road D intersection, which is also where we have a green ball extending into spring

527
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:14,440
like anticipate that, having enhanced crossing, and then

528
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,180
Marston here, Lorenzo Avenue.

529
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,840
So if you notice the east side of the specific plan

530
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:24,860
is a green belt that kind of buffers or is a transition

531
00:50:24,860 --> 00:50:27,520
from spring like to the tech park.

532
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,760
And so at the crossing, there at Marston

533
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,360
will need to have an enhanced crossing.

534
00:50:31,720 --> 00:50:34,700
Crossing at Parkland is actually going to be a signalized

535
00:50:34,700 --> 00:50:35,340
intersection.

536
00:50:35,900 --> 00:50:39,520
What also note at the north end of the project site?

537
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:47,840
is the, we call it the sports park dive pedestrian over crossing, that project is planned

538
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:54,120
for construction actually this fall and the tech park is contributing, dedicated in the

539
00:50:54,120 --> 00:51:02,000
land for the east landing of the pedestrian over crossing. So exciting, that will actually

540
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:07,840
be hopefully in place before construction starts or development starts for the tech park.

541
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:11,860
Um, and that's, uh, that's in the mud presentation.

542
00:51:15,170 --> 00:51:15,650
All right.

543
00:51:15,750 --> 00:51:16,350
Thanks, right.

544
00:51:16,890 --> 00:51:21,090
So with that, Matthew, if you are ready.

545
00:51:22,670 --> 00:51:23,670
Thank you, Erica.

546
00:51:23,830 --> 00:51:28,290
Thank you, Brad, uh, Chairman, we're all as members of the Planning Commission.

547
00:51:29,390 --> 00:51:33,770
Thanks for indulging us for our presentation about the environmental side of the project.

548
00:51:33,770 --> 00:51:43,930
I will outline briefly what we study, what our key findings were, and what the next steps

549
00:51:43,930 --> 00:51:44,470
are.

550
00:51:45,550 --> 00:51:50,250
So, starting with the type of secret document, California Environmental Quality Act requires

551
00:51:50,250 --> 00:51:55,950
local governments when making discretionary decisions to consider environmental effects.

552
00:51:56,750 --> 00:51:59,830
And we have to first step is what type of document.

553
00:51:59,830 --> 00:52:08,670
And this is an environmental impact report, EIR, as Eric mentioned, it is tiered from the

554
00:52:08,670 --> 00:52:12,930
analysis that we already did for your recent general plan update.

555
00:52:13,770 --> 00:52:21,790
Turing means that we use useful information from that previous document and make a more

556
00:52:21,790 --> 00:52:27,290
efficient analysis in certain mitigation measures, because we've already studied the

557
00:52:27,290 --> 00:52:28,870
and up to your level.

558
00:52:30,270 --> 00:52:45,690
The general plan included and identified this specific plan area for development consistent with what is proposed within the draft specific plan and so we have made use of that analysis in this environmental impact report.

559
00:52:45,690 --> 00:53:04,430
We've studied alternatives to the design that is before you this evening, and we have supported the analysis in the IR with a series of technical studies on cultural resources, biological resources, transportation analysis, utilities and service systems, and other topics.

560
00:53:08,820 --> 00:53:08,820
Please.

561
00:53:12,460 --> 00:53:13,920
Thank you.

562
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:19,380
I mentioned that California Environmental Quality Act requires a disclosure of environmental

563
00:53:19,380 --> 00:53:20,060
effects.

564
00:53:20,380 --> 00:53:26,380
It also requires, to us to evaluate alternatives to the proposed project, those that would

565
00:53:26,380 --> 00:53:32,940
reduce environmental effects, to identify significant effects in feasible mitigation to reduce

566
00:53:32,940 --> 00:53:40,100
those effects, and to consider input, especially from other responsible agencies or trust

567
00:53:40,100 --> 00:53:46,340
agencies involved with the ultimate approval of the physical changes included in a project.

568
00:53:47,260 --> 00:53:52,920
The environmental part of the equation is not about approval or denial of the project,

569
00:53:53,140 --> 00:53:56,220
not really about the merits of the specific planet itself.

570
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:02,640
It's more of a legal disclosure document that the EIR handles.

571
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:16,800
So on to some of the key findings here, I just wanted to summarize what's called in the document

572
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:23,460
significant and unavoidable environmental effects. This is part of what we're required to disclose.

573
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:30,960
Those impacts where despite the incorporation of feasible mitigation strategies,

574
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:35,380
These, including some of the ones that Eric went over and brought one over about producing

575
00:54:35,380 --> 00:54:40,940
vehicle miles traveled and associated air quality greenhouse gas emissions, despite the

576
00:54:40,940 --> 00:54:48,300
inclusion of those feasible mitigation measures, we still have these five areas on this slide

577
00:54:48,300 --> 00:54:55,600
where there are significant unavoidable effects for aesthetics, visual resources, any project

578
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,980
that changes from an open space agricultural environment

579
00:54:59,980 --> 00:55:03,900
to develop urban setting changes the visual character.

580
00:55:04,220 --> 00:55:06,720
So we have a significant unavoidable effect there.

581
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:14,680
With agricultural resources, the city's agricultural preservation

582
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,720
ordinance will be applied to this project.

583
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,800
And one to one mitigation required the county's agricultural

584
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,180
conservation ordinance also applied to the areas of the

585
00:55:24,180 --> 00:55:30,480
project that are outside the city limits for three to one in mitigation, but that doesn't

586
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:37,060
create new agricultural land, it just preserves agricultural land in a pro-Rata way relative

587
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:42,040
to the aglan that is lost, so we have a significant unavoidable effect there.

588
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:51,680
With air quality, for a plan of this size and scale operational effects, ozone precursors and

589
00:55:51,680 --> 00:56:01,520
find us is pretty much unavoidable for a project that is this large, similarly for short-term

590
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:06,480
air quality effects with the conservative assumptions that we've made about the pace of

591
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:12,020
possible development and its specific plan, it's very difficult to mitigate short-term

592
00:56:12,020 --> 00:56:17,980
construction related air quality effects for a project like this. For cultural and tribal

593
00:56:18,900 --> 00:56:25,820
cultural resources. This is a based on consultation with the Native American community

594
00:56:25,820 --> 00:56:33,260
and our own research. This is a low to moderate sensitivity area. However, there is

595
00:56:33,260 --> 00:56:40,240
also, there is always the potential in excavation and earth movement that resources could

596
00:56:40,240 --> 00:56:46,740
be disturbed. So, there again, it's very difficult for unknown cultural resources,

597
00:56:46,740 --> 00:56:52,280
significant cultural resources to completely avoid the potential for a significant effect.

598
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:59,640
And then finally, with respect to noise and vibration, this specific plan will be phased,

599
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:11,060
and so there is the possibility that an earlier occupied phased of the project could be affected

600
00:57:11,060 --> 00:57:16,720
by construction of later phases, and so that's considered a significant effect in this

601
00:57:18,540 --> 00:57:37,000
And then finally, with regard to transportation delays, also for playing this large, there are often effects along roadways, transportation added traffic volumes added along roadways, that might have some sort of noise sensitive uses along them.

602
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,080
With this plan, most of the areas where

603
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,460
transportation noise would increase are areas

604
00:57:42,460 --> 00:57:43,980
where there won't be noise instead of uses,

605
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:45,780
but there is that possibility.

606
00:57:47,140 --> 00:57:51,780
So that's the final area of significant unavoidable effects

607
00:57:51,780 --> 00:57:54,640
that are disclosed in the draft environmental impact report.

608
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,200
So this extremely dense slide gives you

609
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,600
an idea of the comprehensive nature of our analysis.

610
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:09,860
We had looked at every topic that is relevant under the California Environmental Quality

611
00:58:09,860 --> 00:58:16,140
Act, as you see in the bottom part of the slide here looked at every issue, in tandem with

612
00:58:16,140 --> 00:58:21,180
the analysis that was just done for the general planning IR, and we focused on disclosing

613
00:58:21,180 --> 00:58:26,420
impacts that are peculiar to this particular specific plan in area that weren't already addressed

614
00:58:26,420 --> 00:58:29,320
as part of the general plan general plan IR.

615
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:29,980
Welcome,

616
00:58:34,240 --> 00:59:03,300
I should mention that the public review period continues through July 2, this slide represents guidance to anybody that is interested on how to direct comments on the brassity of the analysis mitigation alternatives presented in the drafting AR provide comments each comment on the draft JAR what about an environmental issue will have a written response that will be brought before this body

617
00:59:03,300 --> 00:59:09,080
as well as councils prior to consideration of approval of the specific planet itself.

618
00:59:14,350 --> 00:59:22,570
Documents are available in the locations presented on this slide, but I guess we're

619
00:59:22,570 --> 00:59:27,790
physically with each other to some extent again, so here's the address, the document's

620
00:59:27,790 --> 00:59:34,470
physical documents available for a view, as well as the online versions at the URLs that are

621
00:59:34,470 --> 00:59:36,490
listed on this slide.

622
00:59:38,660 --> 00:59:40,820
So, the next step, generally speaking,

623
00:59:43,370 --> 00:59:46,270
at least on the environmental side, review and respond

624
00:59:46,270 --> 00:59:51,830
to comments received on the draft IAR on textual environmental effects associated with the implementation

625
00:59:51,830 --> 00:59:53,810
of this specific plan.

626
00:59:54,670 --> 00:59:59,970
And then we respond, then we revise if necessary, the IAR to create a final IAR.

627
01:00:01,070 --> 01:00:10,270
And then the plan of commission, and ultimately the council can consider a certification of the GIR as well as the adoption of the specific plan.

628
01:00:13,450 --> 01:00:23,290
This point, I'll pass it back to Erica and note that it would be appropriate to provide comments on the draft GIR.

629
01:00:23,570 --> 01:00:29,890
I understand that there was also a summary of the draft specific plan itself, so I'm not sure how we want to catalog or

630
01:00:32,310 --> 01:00:35,710
Characterize comments on specific plan versus the environmental impact.

631
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:42,300
Matthew, thank you.

632
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:42,620
Erica?

633
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:44,460
Yeah, thank you.

634
01:00:44,940 --> 01:00:45,940
I appreciate it.

635
01:00:47,180 --> 01:00:50,600
So now would be the appropriate time.

636
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,600
Chairman Wells to open for public comments,

637
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,860
specifically on the drafts EIR.

638
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,880
And then once we've taken any phone calls or emails,

639
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:08,960
I do believe I have at least one, and then any members of the public who have joined the meeting,

640
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:15,120
Jake can help us with that, once we've taken all comments on the EAR, we'll close that particular

641
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:22,660
portion of the public comments, and then we can open for a more general discussion and public

642
01:01:22,660 --> 01:01:29,360
comment period for the specific planet itself. Great, Erica. Thank you so much, and thank the entire staff,

643
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:34,200
both Erica and Ken Brent and Matthew.

644
01:01:34,540 --> 01:01:40,220
Great overview review of the fantastic project has been all thought out.

645
01:01:40,740 --> 01:01:41,680
Thank you for the presentation.

646
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:49,340
Again, as Erica mentioned, we'll hold two separate public comment periods on the specific item.

647
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:55,100
We'll first open for public comments, the draft environmental impact report.

648
01:01:55,100 --> 01:02:06,340
During this time, the public may provide comments on the EIR specifically, staff and consultant team will not be responding to comments as noted during the presentation.

649
01:02:07,220 --> 01:02:10,460
All speakers will have the three-minute timeframe to make their comments.

650
01:02:10,460 --> 01:02:20,320
The staff noted, Jake Romera, our IP manager will manage the three minute clocks you'll see that on your screen.

651
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:30,020
The public may also make her comments and writing directly to the project staff lead, Erica Bungarner, at the address email on the screen.

652
01:02:30,020 --> 01:02:40,080
So with that, let's open the public hearing on the draft environmental impact report.

653
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:46,060
And at this time, we will open that for public comment.

654
01:02:46,900 --> 01:02:52,540
And so, Erica, you mentioned that we may have some individuals on either the phone or

655
01:02:52,540 --> 01:02:53,340
comment received.

656
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,360
Could you open those fours?

657
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:56,860
Sure.

658
01:02:56,860 --> 01:03:03,620
Yeah, I have one email. I'll read that into the record. It is from Bryan Coward. Good evening,

659
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:08,620
Chairman Wells, planning commission members and cities staff. I would like to submit my,

660
01:03:08,620 --> 01:03:15,740
my own. I would like to submit my public comment in regard to item J1 subject,

661
01:03:15,860 --> 01:03:19,960
public review draft within research and technology parks specifically and in draft environmental

662
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:26,320
impact report on the agenda tonight. My main concern, the formal inclusion of a school in the land

663
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:30,460
and zoning maps of the Woodman Research and Technology Park specific plan.

664
01:03:31,300 --> 01:03:39,380
I and others in the community have been in communication with city and Woodland Joint Unified School District Staff Council in the School Board since 2018,

665
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:46,260
raising a red flag over the lack of planning for the elementary age children in the spring lake in future tech park area.

666
01:03:46,700 --> 01:03:51,140
I have attached a petition with signatures, comments, and details supporting evidence.

667
01:03:51,140 --> 01:04:03,540
Please take the time to review the petition and you will see what one is in dire need of an elementary school and while the district works out the details of financing we must have the land use in zoning for a school settled.

668
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:11,760
All efforts should be made to allow the district time to plan finance and construct the school as it is critical to a healthy and vibrant community.

669
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:16,920
I would like to express the positive aspects of pursuing neighborhood schools from the city's

670
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:17,380
perspective.

671
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:22,360
I understand that the district is a separate entity from the city, but the impacts of supporting

672
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:27,460
them in every manner necessary to achieve an elementary school in the tech park would benefit

673
01:04:27,460 --> 01:04:28,580
the entire city.

674
01:04:29,140 --> 01:04:33,120
By formally planning for the inclusion of a school in the land use and zoning maps, I'm

675
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:34,100
the specific plan.

676
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:39,020
We take some pressure off of the district by allowing them to not have to compete with

677
01:04:39,020 --> 01:04:41,540
the developers and builders for the critical infrastructure

678
01:04:41,540 --> 01:04:44,560
our community will need to be a vibrant and successful

679
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,320
addition to the woodland community.

680
01:04:47,100 --> 01:04:49,620
And neighborhood school would also alleviate traffic

681
01:04:49,620 --> 01:04:51,640
congestion and the wear and tear on our roads

682
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:55,140
in the transportation of children to schools outside of our neighborhood.

683
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:57,540
We now throw the district's own studies

684
01:04:57,540 --> 01:04:59,920
that will be 1,000 elementary age students

685
01:04:59,920 --> 01:05:01,960
in the spring lake and type park area.

686
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:04,900
But if there is no elementary school built,

687
01:05:04,980 --> 01:05:07,300
we'll require a car in order to get to school

688
01:05:07,300 --> 01:05:12,780
cross town or in Davis. In neighborhood school allows their children to stay local, walk, and

689
01:05:12,780 --> 01:05:18,540
ride to school. Spring Lake and the Tech Park have in our plan to have a really magnificent

690
01:05:18,540 --> 01:05:23,980
set of green belts. These trails connect our community, get us to move our bodies making us

691
01:05:23,980 --> 01:05:28,840
healthier and provide a safe means for our children to get to school with minimal interaction with

692
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:34,140
automobiles. I would also be remiss if I didn't bring attention to climate change. We know

693
01:05:34,140 --> 01:05:38,740
common emissions are contributing to the extreme droughts, the dying of our forest, and ultimately

694
01:05:38,740 --> 01:05:39,620
fire season.

695
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:46,920
The city has its own climate action plan, which should not only, which should not be only

696
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:48,740
attribute to our children's future.

697
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:54,560
We cannot afford to build our communities in a way that continues to facilitate our dependency

698
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:59,520
on fossil fuels by not providing the essential services needed where we need them, proximity

699
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:04,300
matters, land use matters. Please plan the formal inclusion of a school in the land use and

700
01:06:04,300 --> 01:06:08,920
zoning maps of the Woodland Research and Technology Park specific plan. It's step 1, sincerely

701
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:10,000
bring Howard.

702
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:19,120
That's the only written public comment I've received. Jay, do you have any

703
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:25,360
voice mail messages? There are no voice mail. Currently nobody is raising their hand.

704
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:29,360
It's

705
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:34,660
you can chose please press the raise-amps button and then we can allow you to talk

706
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:39,600
about the

707
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,080
sign there or not.

708
01:06:41,620 --> 01:06:41,800
Okay.

709
01:06:42,940 --> 01:06:43,500
Thank you.

710
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:51,400
That was a very well written comment and it goes along with so many of the other great comments

711
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:59,310
in community involved discussions about this project which I think staff have done an amazing

712
01:06:59,310 --> 01:07:00,870
job in incorporating.

713
01:07:01,850 --> 01:07:16,870
So now that we have heard from the public, I will close the comment period and open a separate comment period for any member of the public.

714
01:07:16,970 --> 01:07:17,830
Oh no, one on second.

715
01:07:19,050 --> 01:07:19,690
So pardon me.

716
01:07:20,170 --> 01:07:25,870
So now that we've closed the public section, I'm going to come back to the commission members and I'm going to go down.

717
01:07:25,870 --> 01:07:29,930
after that actually so that we, so that we can.

718
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:44,660
Have any of the commissioners either ask, put the comments in or to ask questions. And so at this time, I'll ask Commissioner Harris, any comments or questions on the EIR specific.

719
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:48,360
The EIR draft plan.

720
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:49,000
Steve,

721
01:07:51,310 --> 01:07:52,810
your muted at this time, my friend.

722
01:07:55,670 --> 01:07:56,670
That ought to be better.

723
01:07:57,070 --> 01:07:57,530
There we go.

724
01:07:57,530 --> 01:08:18,190
Now at this time regarding I do not have any comments, okay. I've had questions of the staff as we've gone along and I serve on the subcommittee. So the staff has been so forthright and any questions that I have. We've been answering them all along in at this stage. I'm very comfortable.

725
01:08:18,190 --> 01:08:22,150
Perfect. Steve, thank you. Commissioner Holt.

726
01:08:23,270 --> 01:08:27,530
Hi, this is Commissioner Holt. Thank you, Chairman Wells.

727
01:08:28,370 --> 01:08:33,650
I agree with Paris that Commissioner Holt said I've had a lot of questions answered along the way,

728
01:08:33,810 --> 01:08:36,770
but one did come up and it is somewhat of a clarification.

729
01:08:37,510 --> 01:08:39,650
Maybe Matthew can help me out with this.

730
01:08:40,490 --> 01:08:44,310
We talk about alternative three and four in the EIR.

731
01:08:44,310 --> 01:09:03,530
And unfortunately, as an architect, I'm a slave to visual representation, were there any visual representations of those alternatives that were developed during your analysis that we could look at, or is it really just a kind of a text and conceptual modeling exercise?

732
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:18,750
through the chair. I'll respond briefly. Okay, thank you. Yeah, sometimes we do develop diagrams.

733
01:09:20,730 --> 01:09:27,490
First specific plans or general plan alternatives or other sorts projects. In this case, it was more of a narrative description.

734
01:09:28,290 --> 01:09:37,590
Although, I'll admit, we did have sketches, just draft internally that we're using to organize our thoughts along those lines,

735
01:09:37,590 --> 01:09:42,810
but nothing that made the test,

736
01:09:47,010 --> 01:09:48,650
but I completely understand.

737
01:09:49,850 --> 01:09:52,270
Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much.

738
01:09:53,270 --> 01:09:59,310
Commissioner Hurst, Valerie, any questions of staff on the draft EIR?

739
01:09:59,990 --> 01:10:01,450
Not at the moment. Okay.

740
01:10:02,270 --> 01:10:03,170
Vice Chair, Luzeraga.

741
01:10:04,770 --> 01:10:07,390
I'm happy with what we've done so far.

742
01:10:07,390 --> 01:10:15,750
Okay, good, good. Thank you. Um, and um, his friend, it would have, uh, they're working

743
01:10:15,750 --> 01:10:22,930
out. There we go. Hi, friend. I think you're working. So I got two questions for you.

744
01:10:23,310 --> 01:10:29,950
One, can you hear me clearly? I think I can. Okay, and number two, have you had access to be

745
01:10:29,950 --> 01:10:36,370
agenda for the meeting? Uh, I have. That's the most, most of today. Okay. I do just want to make

746
01:10:36,370 --> 01:10:48,710
One brief comment that the one written for a read into about the schools, I do believe that

747
01:10:48,710 --> 01:10:53,050
that gentleman has a valid concern.

748
01:10:54,290 --> 01:11:01,130
It's in a lot of time for players who've been laid out and mysteriously something just

749
01:11:01,130 --> 01:11:04,370
never takes place and something gets left out.

750
01:11:04,370 --> 01:11:07,890
So it's always been either a park or a school or a farm department.

751
01:11:09,130 --> 01:11:19,030
So yeah, the guy has a valid reason to write that letter and state that, you know, he wants that area designated and then it's up to the school district and everybody else to do their part.

752
01:11:20,370 --> 01:11:25,690
But in my opinion, some of the issues that we go face on this,

753
01:11:28,550 --> 01:11:36,170
Even with the limited, I know that the traffic is going to be a situation there, but I know

754
01:11:36,170 --> 01:11:39,690
the Pioneer School, we were supposed to have everything dialed in, there's certain

755
01:11:39,690 --> 01:11:42,750
times of the day you go to that intersection and it starts.

756
01:11:44,410 --> 01:11:47,410
So putting in the amount of housing that you're going to put in there, the amount of businesses,

757
01:11:49,390 --> 01:11:52,990
I really hope that you guys really look over this traffic situation and make sure that it's

758
01:11:52,990 --> 01:11:58,250
flow otherwise you're going to have people going through those neighborhoods to get in and out of there

759
01:11:58,250 --> 01:12:04,290
when they're very, very congested. So I suggest that you, you know, you like they, like the

760
01:12:04,290 --> 01:12:11,410
carpenter says, you know, measure 10, 10 times and cut once. So that's, that's about what I am on that.

761
01:12:11,510 --> 01:12:19,090
Okay, great. Thank you. Okay. I don't believe I missed any commission members. That is complete

762
01:12:19,090 --> 01:12:22,750
then we're going to close that item for discussion.

763
01:12:23,950 --> 01:12:28,170
And so those comments, if they need to be

764
01:12:28,170 --> 01:12:31,650
responded to, but it certainly can be included in the record.

765
01:12:33,190 --> 01:12:39,330
I will now open the comment period on the project itself.

766
01:12:39,870 --> 01:12:43,270
And so that will be our second comment period.

767
01:12:43,990 --> 01:12:46,970
And so let's open that at this point.

768
01:12:46,970 --> 01:12:53,990
And, Erica, do we have any public comments for our second item?

769
01:12:54,730 --> 01:12:56,030
No, I do not.

770
01:12:56,990 --> 01:13:03,070
And, Jay, do we have anybody that's raising her hand or on the phone?

771
01:13:04,470 --> 01:13:07,950
Currently we do not, and there are no new email either.

772
01:13:07,950 --> 01:13:18,190
Okay, so hearing none and having no people online or raising their hands through the meeting,

773
01:13:18,790 --> 01:13:24,690
we will close the public comment portion of that, and once again, I will bring it back

774
01:13:24,690 --> 01:13:28,830
to the commission for any comments on the plan itself.

775
01:13:28,950 --> 01:13:34,930
I think that Fred's comments about the school probably already go to that item, but just

776
01:13:34,930 --> 01:13:43,450
to get in for the final cut commissioner Harris in the any comments on the project itself.

777
01:13:44,550 --> 01:13:52,630
Well, I'm on record for being for this project. I think it's been conceived well and

778
01:13:52,630 --> 01:14:00,990
the work that's been put in is so good. I do have one concern in that is for our community in general

779
01:14:00,990 --> 01:14:11,590
And it basically is how the business and tech is built in correspondence with the homes.

780
01:14:12,570 --> 01:14:18,670
And I've had discussions with the staff and they've worked with me along the process.

781
01:14:19,370 --> 01:14:20,830
And at this stage, I'm happy.

782
01:14:21,590 --> 01:14:27,290
My main concern at the end of the day is one that I know others have,

783
01:14:27,290 --> 01:14:30,910
and that is that this does not turn us into a bedroom district.

784
01:14:31,810 --> 01:14:35,690
These jobs to me are the key to building the houses.

785
01:14:36,150 --> 01:14:40,110
We don't want to build the houses to draw people without jobs.

786
01:14:42,690 --> 01:14:45,690
So, you know, and those concerns have been taken seriously

787
01:14:45,690 --> 01:14:48,250
by the city and staff and the developer.

788
01:14:49,110 --> 01:14:53,690
And so I think it's being worked out to my satisfaction.

789
01:14:53,690 --> 01:14:59,910
And then those that from the get go has been my biggest concern about the project.

790
01:15:00,300 --> 01:15:04,040
Steve, thank you. Commissioner Holt.

791
01:15:05,180 --> 01:15:08,440
Yeah, I have a couple of comments on the questions though.

792
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:20,640
And in no need to take notes, I will provide a pretty substantial email to Eric to distribute to the full team.

793
01:15:21,140 --> 01:15:23,760
And I'll keep it brief. I'm not going to go through all of them.

794
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:32,780
I do want to kind of sort of release this date and support our city managers comments in the beginning.

795
01:15:32,860 --> 01:15:41,940
This has been a long four years, but I remember many of you who were on the planning commission back in the general plan.

796
01:15:42,340 --> 01:15:52,880
We really went round around about this and Mr. Hodgson has stayed with us the entire time and has brought back a really great project.

797
01:15:52,880 --> 01:16:05,960
So first and foremost, I'd like to just say that's really awesome to see, sometimes these things get victimized by the economy or things like that, but this one has done really well.

798
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:11,840
My biggest concern and I'll put this into my comments.

799
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:20,660
I've looked through all of the residential design standards, all of the commercial design standards, and I think they're really clean and really concise.

800
01:16:21,860 --> 01:16:24,880
But my concern is really two-fold.

801
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:30,000
One, the village center mixed use area is kind of small.

802
01:16:30,140 --> 01:16:31,560
I believe it's three and a half acres.

803
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:35,200
And I know that we struggled really badly in spring

804
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:37,420
like with things of about that same size,

805
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:39,480
about three to five acres.

806
01:16:40,420 --> 01:16:42,160
I think this is a little different situation.

807
01:16:42,380 --> 01:16:46,020
This is not strictly residential area right across the way.

808
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:47,640
It is a lot of other business.

809
01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:51,240
So I think that may be it's saving grace here,

810
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:53,680
but I know we struggle getting developers

811
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:57,460
to come in and build actual commercial on a small site like that.

812
01:16:57,460 --> 01:16:58,540
It was very challenging.

813
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:05,460
The other item is, and I continue my research in this realm,

814
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:12,940
is how to write good, non-subjective, rather, objective,

815
01:17:12,940 --> 01:17:19,940
design standards based on the state of California's laws regarding housing development.

816
01:17:20,300 --> 01:17:25,320
How we maintain high quality design while still remaining objective.

817
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:32,160
I think that the language in here has done a really good job, but I'll definitely watch this

818
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:36,440
as we continue along to see if anything comes up to challenge that.

819
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:37,820
So, thank you very much.

820
01:17:37,900 --> 01:17:39,280
I think the team's done a great job.

821
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:43,640
I'll provide a more extensive list of comments to Erica.

822
01:17:44,500 --> 01:17:50,300
Good. First, thank you. And as always, we greatly appreciate your professionalism and your expertise.

823
01:17:50,820 --> 01:17:57,500
You have a lot to our commission. And I think you add a lot to the city of Woodman for Henry Vier over site.

824
01:17:57,500 --> 01:18:06,500
And I really appreciate all that you do. So thank you for those comments. Next Commissioner Hurst.

825
01:18:07,850 --> 01:18:15,450
Hi, yes. I do have some comments. I think one of the first things that stands out to me is

826
01:18:16,170 --> 01:18:26,790
the drive-through and gas station location in the southwest portion of this plan. I think we

827
01:18:26,790 --> 01:18:35,450
talked a lot about the climate action plan. I think we talked a lot about trying to walk the walk

828
01:18:35,450 --> 01:18:42,570
when it comes to this sort of thing and when I see a drive through integrated into a specific plan

829
01:18:43,730 --> 01:18:51,850
I think are we encouraging healthy habits? Are we encouraging increased miles traveled in a car?

830
01:18:52,970 --> 01:18:56,310
Are we encouraging that sort of transient nature as well?

831
01:18:57,510 --> 01:19:05,170
I would like to see something different and or nothing. There may be more green belts. There's something

832
01:19:05,450 --> 01:19:09,230
that does not include the drive through.

833
01:19:09,890 --> 01:19:11,470
Similar for the gas station,

834
01:19:11,610 --> 01:19:13,230
I would like to see a little bit more reason

835
01:19:13,230 --> 01:19:16,050
as to why we need a designated gas station there,

836
01:19:16,170 --> 01:19:21,210
is it because that we think there will be increased traffic flow

837
01:19:21,210 --> 01:19:25,710
that are other gas stations that are in really near proximity

838
01:19:25,710 --> 01:19:29,850
actually along our sort of mixed commercial districts

839
01:19:29,850 --> 01:19:31,850
adjacent to this property,

840
01:19:31,850 --> 01:19:42,390
can they not handle that flow of traffic? I see an area of sort of concern in that corner.

841
01:19:43,670 --> 01:19:50,770
In terms of landscaping, I think I liked what I saw from the native grasses and the drought tolerant

842
01:19:50,770 --> 01:19:55,950
landscape. Maybe, you know, since we had specific language in there, of encouraging something,

843
01:19:55,950 --> 01:20:03,850
pollinators are also a great thing to include in landscaping plans and it speaks to also

844
01:20:03,850 --> 01:20:11,750
woodlands place in agriculture. I did have a question for, I don't know if Erica could take this,

845
01:20:12,510 --> 01:20:22,630
the hotel, I see the hotel in B&B portion of the plan. It looks like the B&B is going to be a

846
01:20:22,630 --> 01:20:28,690
And I will subject to a city-wide ordinance being implemented.

847
01:20:29,510 --> 01:20:32,970
What is that going to take or do you see that not being able to be implemented?

848
01:20:37,490 --> 01:20:43,570
So that it's not B&B, I think it's Air B&B is probably what the ordinance was referring

849
01:20:43,570 --> 01:20:44,490
to.

850
01:20:44,730 --> 01:20:51,590
And as opposed to a bed and breakfast type of bootie type hotel, the city does not currently

851
01:20:51,590 --> 01:21:00,270
have an ordinance around just as the temporary like VRBO type rentals. So I think that was

852
01:21:00,270 --> 01:21:04,910
acknowledging is that the plan would be consistent with an ordinance that eventually

853
01:21:04,910 --> 01:21:10,750
is opted for this city. So it's not referring to a bed and breakfast like an actual business

854
01:21:10,750 --> 01:21:18,370
is referring to an Airbnb situation in the second. What page have you happened to be looking at?

855
01:21:18,370 --> 01:21:20,930
but I'll just confirm that we articulated that correctly.

856
01:21:21,730 --> 01:21:25,890
Yeah, it is on page, 71, I believe.

857
01:21:26,890 --> 01:21:28,650
I can follow up with the aftersling.

858
01:21:29,010 --> 01:21:30,790
Yeah, we can follow up and talk about it.

859
01:21:30,850 --> 01:21:32,910
I just noticed something there and it seemed

860
01:21:32,910 --> 01:21:35,510
it definitely didn't articulate Airbnb.

861
01:21:36,230 --> 01:21:39,090
It was sort of threw me off there.

862
01:21:40,430 --> 01:21:42,250
Masonry Wals was another one.

863
01:21:42,250 --> 01:21:45,170
I think visually, I'm also, I mean,

864
01:21:45,170 --> 01:21:52,270
the visual of the masonry wall in the specific plan that I saw, I believe on page 173.

865
01:21:52,550 --> 01:21:57,170
I don't know, it sort of looked like any other masonry wall that we could kind of have

866
01:21:57,170 --> 01:22:04,430
going any place else. It tends to make things look stark and I know in the plan I really do acknowledge

867
01:22:04,430 --> 01:22:12,110
the fact that the language in this plan is trying to avoid the look of starkness and sort of bear

868
01:22:12,110 --> 01:22:20,790
and a lot of other locations, especially in the more industrial park area, I think we should

869
01:22:20,790 --> 01:22:25,390
follow through with that on the masonry walls. Can we make that, can we make a couple of them

870
01:22:25,390 --> 01:22:29,970
at least maybe more living walls, sort of tiered walls with

871
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:43,340
Glasses and plantings, so that it's nice for the homeowners, it's nice for pastors by, it just doesn't look like any other residential establishment development that you're seeing.

872
01:22:44,100 --> 01:22:55,480
This is sort of our crown jewel why not follow through on the details. I think in terms of those retention walls along the corridors. That's it.

873
01:22:55,480 --> 01:22:55,900
Great.

874
01:22:56,380 --> 01:22:57,060
Valerie, thank you.

875
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:57,700
Well thought out.

876
01:22:57,840 --> 01:22:58,360
Good comments.

877
01:23:00,460 --> 01:23:01,840
Um, vice chair Liz Raga.

878
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:05,100
No, I'm a happy guy with everything.

879
01:23:05,380 --> 01:23:06,540
I agree with that.

880
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:07,620
Most of the comments.

881
01:23:08,340 --> 01:23:09,080
And there is.

882
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:13,680
They're concerned that evolves had with any kind of planning because I did planning before

883
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:15,700
I did my young days.

884
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:17,060
That was a long time ago.

885
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:21,460
Um, it's a concerns, you know, it's like what happened with spring late.

886
01:23:21,460 --> 01:23:27,940
We've planned everything for the last thing, everything, but the economy becomes, you know,

887
01:23:28,100 --> 01:23:29,580
and falls in top of it.

888
01:23:29,900 --> 01:23:34,440
And we need the only concern that I've ever had, but it's that's uncomfortable and I think

889
01:23:34,440 --> 01:23:36,420
this should be conscious of that.

890
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:42,480
And the only blame that we could put on the ad is that we live in a system, because something

891
01:23:42,480 --> 01:23:42,820
doesn't.

892
01:23:43,460 --> 01:23:49,600
But I will be excited and hoping for the success of this positive because it looks great.

893
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:54,580
Marco, thank you and finally, Commissioner Lopez.

894
01:23:58,590 --> 01:23:59,210
There we go.

895
01:24:00,170 --> 01:24:06,190
Actually, Valerie hit on something that I was kind of looking at.

896
01:24:06,630 --> 01:24:11,730
We do have a lot of wall section going up.

897
01:24:12,170 --> 01:24:17,410
It would be very nice if we were to either either have some patterns incorporated

898
01:24:17,410 --> 01:24:25,230
into just some of the blind walls to accentuate the fact that that technology park and that

899
01:24:25,230 --> 01:24:32,270
old development is supposed to be kind of like a beacon for this area and you're going to

900
01:24:32,270 --> 01:24:38,070
have a lot of surface area where you can express some of the you know some of the uniqueness

901
01:24:38,070 --> 01:24:44,310
of what we're you know trying to develop there. I just hope that they can look at some of that

902
01:24:46,110 --> 01:24:51,030
And incorporate some of that into some of the areas where you have large surfaces that are,

903
01:24:51,030 --> 01:24:55,610
you know, either adjacent to the freeway or, you know, in the neighbors that we just

904
01:24:55,610 --> 01:25:03,930
add something more than, you know, tan center block 10 foot high, you know, so I've got a

905
01:25:03,930 --> 01:25:09,970
chance to see some stuff that, like in Las Vegas, they have some very unique construction

906
01:25:09,970 --> 01:25:21,030
on their walls, the designs, if you go through Phoenix, they have a lot of natural animation

907
01:25:21,030 --> 01:25:27,150
on their freeway stuff, but it's actually really beautiful, so I think there has to be

908
01:25:27,150 --> 01:25:33,350
something that we can come up with that and kind of incorporate some of that into these, you

909
01:25:33,350 --> 01:25:38,730
know, whether it's just like I said, just a plain wall of concrete, so that's one of my

910
01:25:38,730 --> 01:25:46,130
concerns. I know Chris's head is probably swollen around with ideas of what we could do, but

911
01:25:46,130 --> 01:25:52,270
I just think that there's between the creativity that we've had in this planet commission and staff

912
01:25:52,270 --> 01:25:57,870
open-mindedness to just really do the best that they can. I'm pretty sure that we think of

913
01:25:57,870 --> 01:26:06,030
something that would just really stand out and be a benefit to the tech part and woodland in general

914
01:26:06,030 --> 01:26:11,210
So that, you know, when you came into the area, it was actually something very visually stunning

915
01:26:11,210 --> 01:26:17,750
that kind of draws you in as well as what's there, not just, you know, some, you know,

916
01:26:17,990 --> 01:26:21,350
three story buildings with a lot of glass on them and, you know, a couple of trees here and there.

917
01:26:21,570 --> 01:26:25,270
Now, we just really need to make something happen there. So, you know,

918
01:26:25,370 --> 01:26:29,470
you know, it doesn't put any undoed pressure on anybody, but, you know, we just really need to,

919
01:26:30,110 --> 01:26:34,990
you know, wait something super nice, sir. So, that's it on that.

920
01:26:36,830 --> 01:26:41,990
So I'll run my comments to this one.

921
01:26:42,570 --> 01:26:50,910
I really want to express to the staff to can in the entire city staff and to the developer

922
01:26:50,910 --> 01:26:58,790
on this, what a great job the team has done, not only in the design and the result,

923
01:26:58,790 --> 01:27:05,150
but in their communication, communication with our board, communication with subcommittee and communication

924
01:27:05,150 --> 01:27:11,810
with the public because I think at the end of the day we can look at this project and really see

925
01:27:12,390 --> 01:27:22,270
just a very, very high level, quality of work that is unique to the entire region and maybe

926
01:27:23,650 --> 01:27:29,910
to the state. I mean, this is really an amazing opportunity for the city of Woodland. I think

927
01:27:29,910 --> 01:27:39,290
that the staff deserves and the developer, like Marco has said, and you guys stayed with

928
01:27:39,290 --> 01:27:44,910
us even though the ups and downs of the economy were going there and you stayed true to

929
01:27:44,910 --> 01:27:54,590
plan. I would also say that I'm in support of the gas station on the intersection. That's one

930
01:27:54,590 --> 01:28:00,270
of the things about woodlands we have one 13 going through our city and essentially if somebody

931
01:28:00,270 --> 01:28:08,150
needs to get off and get gas at a peak time you've got that and only adds to that traffic problem

932
01:28:08,150 --> 01:28:10,050
whether they're getting off,

933
01:28:10,050 --> 01:28:14,330
getting some and trying to get to the Bellaire,

934
01:28:14,390 --> 01:28:15,790
whether they're trying to go downtown,

935
01:28:16,890 --> 01:28:20,190
and get on Main Street, it is very difficult,

936
01:28:20,410 --> 01:28:21,430
and there's no signage.

937
01:28:21,870 --> 01:28:24,650
So I think that the city of Woodland loses

938
01:28:25,390 --> 01:28:28,830
opportunity for tax revenue and income jobs

939
01:28:28,830 --> 01:28:29,950
and business opportunities.

940
01:28:31,050 --> 01:28:33,750
And those cars are, those are not all Woodland cars

941
01:28:33,750 --> 01:28:37,790
that go down in 2013, but we're still going to need,

942
01:28:37,790 --> 01:28:44,850
also feels for a while until there is truly a true electric opportunity for our country.

943
01:28:46,450 --> 01:28:51,190
And with that, those are all my comments I would ask that the staff incorporate what I think

944
01:28:51,190 --> 01:28:57,350
are great comments from all of our commission members, and also I would ask that we do put

945
01:28:57,350 --> 01:29:03,630
the focus on the school that the gentleman expressed to make sure that we do commit to working

946
01:29:03,630 --> 01:29:09,530
with the school district to get, you know, to make sure that we provide those opportunities

947
01:29:09,530 --> 01:29:15,610
for those families, you know, what a great thing to be able to have your kids be able to

948
01:29:15,610 --> 01:29:22,130
bike or walk to school with their friends. So really, really good. And with that, I'm going to

949
01:29:22,130 --> 01:29:28,930
close this item. And then I'm just going to finish up and just real quickly ask if anyone has any

950
01:29:28,930 --> 01:29:36,890
comments that is not regarding these these items, and so I'm going to go through quickly.

951
01:29:37,490 --> 01:29:40,330
Harris, any other questions not regarding this?

952
01:29:45,890 --> 01:29:45,910
Steve?

953
01:29:46,730 --> 01:29:47,070
Yeah.

954
01:29:47,250 --> 01:29:48,470
He got to remind me.

955
01:29:48,630 --> 01:29:49,010
There we go.

956
01:29:49,110 --> 01:29:49,410
I know.

957
01:29:49,730 --> 01:29:52,790
Chris, I will, I mean, we're almost done with these, aren't we?

958
01:29:54,650 --> 01:29:56,870
But anyway, no, I don't have any comments.

959
01:29:57,010 --> 01:29:57,750
Everything's good.

960
01:29:58,110 --> 01:29:58,330
Good.

961
01:29:59,170 --> 01:29:59,970
Commissioner, hold anything.

962
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:07,720
Other than that we've already talked about? No sir, no comments. Thank you. Commissioner Hurts, Valerie, any other items

963
01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:14,700
if we would like to discuss before we close our meeting? No, I just think that Commissioner Lopez made a great

964
01:30:14,700 --> 01:30:25,700
point. I think we deserve some quality from developers. I don't think it's asking too much. It looks like we're on the right path,

965
01:30:25,700 --> 01:30:29,840
But I think that something like good masonry walls,

966
01:30:30,580 --> 01:30:33,140
unique masonry walls, unique visual contrast

967
01:30:33,140 --> 01:30:35,220
is what we deserve in this case,

968
01:30:35,480 --> 01:30:36,980
and what this project should be accomplishing.

969
01:30:37,480 --> 01:30:37,860
So, yeah.

970
01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:38,940
Good, good.

971
01:30:39,820 --> 01:30:41,160
Vice Chair Lazraga.

972
01:30:43,810 --> 01:30:45,650
I think I said just about everything.

973
01:30:48,030 --> 01:30:51,810
And finally, Commissioner Lopez, nope.

974
01:30:53,230 --> 01:30:54,250
Yeah, I'm mute, my brother.

975
01:30:54,730 --> 01:30:56,650
Yeah, no, I'm good.

976
01:30:56,650 --> 01:31:04,230
last time. So again, thank you, everybody. Now, I want to ask, Commissioner Lizaraga,

977
01:31:04,730 --> 01:31:08,070
would you be willing to make a motion that we need to turn the meeting?

978
01:31:08,370 --> 01:31:11,450
I am anxious to make the worst into a hearing.

979
01:31:12,070 --> 01:31:12,110
Thank you.

980
01:31:12,830 --> 01:31:18,630
Yeah, exactly. By Commissioner Lopez, everybody, thank you for wonderful job. Can love to see you

981
01:31:18,630 --> 01:31:23,530
here. Great job. And, you know, maybe we can put a food front thing up on our Masonry wall thing

982
01:31:23,530 --> 01:31:24,650
or something like that.

983
01:31:26,690 --> 01:31:29,630
And with that, I adjourn the meeting.

984
01:31:29,970 --> 01:31:30,510
Thank you, everybody.

985
01:31:30,830 --> 01:31:32,290
Erica, thank you, great presentation.

986
01:31:33,030 --> 01:31:34,110
Everybody good night.

987
01:31:34,110 --> 01:31:37,690
Good night.

988
01:31:37,890 --> 01:31:38,290
Good night.

989
01:31:39,270 --> 01:31:39,830
Thank you everyone.
