COMMENTS
4. STAFF COMMENTS
Planning Manager Neal:
The second General Plan Advisory Group meeting will be held on Wednesday,
March 1; focus will be on the Community Input Report.
Explained the intent of the Sunshine Ordinance meetings is for community
members to discuss projects directly with the developer, it is not a City meeting.
Staff is working on implementing a Planning and Building Calendar which will
contain all related meetings, including Sunshine Ordinance meetings for those
interested in attending.
o Commissioner McLoughlin, Commissioner Bacerra and Commissioner
Alderete requested Sunshine Ordinance meeting information be e-mailed
directly to commissioners.
o Planning Manager Neal explained that the manner in which
Commissioners are notified of such meetings will be decided by
Executive Management.
o Chair Verino asked when a decision will be made on the matter. Planning
Manager Neal hopes to have more information by the next meeting.
Reported that the Accessory Unit Ordinance is currently on hold; awaiting
direction from Council sub-committee.
o Commissioner McLoughlin inquired on the new state ordinance and the
number of accessory dwelling unit permits issued.
5. PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBER COMMENTS
Commissioner Bacerra:
Staff and commission should work as a team; hopes that in the future it will not
be difficult to obtain requested information from staff.
Commissioner McLoughlin:
Inquired about a Potter’s Lane project.
o Planning Manager Neal responded that this project was not selected by
the City to receive Project Based Vouchers.
