[1. CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL]
[00:00:18]
LET'S GO AHEAD AND CALL THE ORDER, PLANNING COMMISSIONER MEETING FOR JANUARY 10, 2022, PLEASE.
>> COMMISSIONER FRANZ, WOULD YOU BE SO KIND AS TO LEAD US IN OUR PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.
>> COMMISSIONER FRANZ: ABSOLUTELY.
I 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.
>> CHAIRPERSON YSIANO: THANK YOU.
NEXT ON THE AGENDA WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA.
MS. CASTILLO, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA?
[4.1. Review and consider MND, CUP Design Review and Environmental Analysis ...]
>> CHAIRPERSON YSIANO: NEXT ITEM IS PUBLIC HEARING 4.1 FOR REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION MMPD DESIGN REVIEW AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OR UNICARS HONDA.
KEVIN, DO WE HAVE A MEMBER OF STAFF PRESENTING A STAFF REPORT ON THIS?
>> KEVIN SNYDER: I AM THE PERSON DOING THAT, CHAIR.
KEVIN SNYDER, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, AND THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING.
I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS AND ABILITY TO GO BACK TO THE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT.
HOPEFULLY THIS WON'T BE FOR TOO LONG BUT GIVEN IF CURRENT SITUATION WITH THE SURGE, WE FELT IT PRUDENT TO NOT BRING PEOPLE INTO SPACES WHERE THEY MIGHT BE TOO CLOSE.
THE ITEM BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING, ITEM 4.1 IS A PUBLIC HEARING, AND I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND SCREEN SHARE.
SO THIS EVENING THE PUBLIC HEARING ITEM IS FOR UNICARS HONDA CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED DEALERSHIP.
THERE ARE THREE TOPICS, TOPICAL REARS THAT WE'RE ASKING THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON AND CONSIDER POSSIBLE ADOPTION OF THE ASSOCIATED RESOLUTIONS.
SO THE UNICARS HONDA PRE-OWNED CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP IS PROPOSED ON APPROXIMATELY 16 ACRES ALONG VARNER ROAD.
THIS IS WEST OF VARNER ROAD AND JEFFERSON.
ON THE SCREEN YOU SEE A VICINITY MAP.
THE BIG STAR IN THE MIDDLE IS INDICATIVE OF THE LOCATION.
SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT THIS PROPERTY WAS A TEMPORARY AREA FOR THE DODGE RAM DEALERSHIP.
TO THE WEST OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S NO LONGER IN USE FOR THAT.
THIS PROPERTY IS OWNED BY THE CITY, AND THE CITY HAS AUTHORIZED THE APPLICATION WITH THE EXTENT THAT A TRANSFER OF THE PROPERTY WILL HAPPEN TO UNICARS HONDA AT AN APPROPRIATE DATE FOLLOWING THE RECEIPT OF, POTENTIAL RECEIPT OF ENTITLEMENTS.
THE ELLEN J PLAN 2040 DESIGNATION FOR TO PROPERTY IN QUESTION, THERE ARE A TOTAL OF FOUR PROPERTIES IS WORKPLACE EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT OR WED AND REGIONAL COMMERCIAL.
THE ZONING IS BUSINESS PARK, AND I'M JUST GOING TO HIGHLIGHT SOMETHING AND I WILL COME BACK TO IT IN A MINUTE.
BUT IN THE BUSINESS PARK ZONE, THE CITY HAS PASSED A ORDINANCE LANGUAGE THAT SPECIFIES THAT DEALERSHIPS, VEHICLE AUTO VEHICLE DEALERSHIPS ARE PERMITTED WITH THE ISSUANCE OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.
PREVIOUSLY THE CITY HAS DETERMINED THAT ASSOCIATED BUT NOT CONTIGUOUS USED CAR DEALERSHIP WAS EXISTING AUTO DEALER IS AN ACCEPTABLE USE UNDER THE CURRENT ALLOWANCES.
SO AS YOU ARE PROBABLY AWARE, UNICARS HONDA IS LOCATED TO THE WEST OF THIS PROPERTY ON ITS OWN LOT, ITS OWN PROPERTY, AND SO THIS WOULD BE AN AFFILIATED CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED DEALERSHIP SITE WITH THE EXISTING UNICARS HONDA DEALERSHIP SITE.
SO AGAIN THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH PRIOR INTERPRETATION BY THE CITY AND THAT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
SO THIS P EVENING WE'RE ASKING THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO CONSIDER THREE TOPICAL AREAS, AS I MENTIONED, THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT TO CONSIDER THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION, MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM FOR THE UNICARS HONDA CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP.
WE'RE ALSO ASKING THE COMMISSION TO CONSIDER A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO CONSIDER USED VEHICLE SALES WITHIN THE BUSINESS PARK ZONING DISTRICT.
AND FINALLY WE ARE ASKING THE COMMISSION TO CONSIDER A DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION
[00:05:05]
FOR ARCHITECTURE, SITE PLAN, PARKING, CIRCULATION AND LANDSCAPING PLANS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF WHAT IS PROPOSED AS A 14,950 SQUARE FOOT CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED BUILDING.THIS IS WHERE OFFICES AND OTHER ASSOCIATED ACTIVITIES, ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIVITIES WITH THE DEALERSHIP WITH OCCUR, A NEW 5,089 SQUARE FOOT DETAILING AND CAR WASH BUILDING, 826 SURFACE PARKING FOR CUSTOMER PARKING, EMPLOYEE PARKING, DISPLAY PARKING AND INVENTORY PARKING, AND THEN A PROPOSED 3,944 SQUARE FOOT SHOP THE BUILDING.
THAT BUILDING WILL NOT BE CONSTRUCTED IMMEDIATELY BUT WILL BE CONSTRUCTED AT A FUTURE DATE AS DEMAND FOR SHOP SERVICES BECOMES EVIDENCE AND JUSTIFIES THE EXPENDITURE, ACCORDING TO APPLICANT.
SO THIS IS AN OVERVIEW OF THE SITE PLAN.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SITE IS AGAIN LOCATED ALONG VARNER ROAD.
IT IS -- AGAIN, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SURFACE PARKING ON THE PROPERTY.
THE TWO BUILDINGS I REFERENCED ALONG ABOUT THE OUTLINE OF THE FUTURE SHOP BUILDING ARE SHOWN IN THE CENTER OF THE PROJECT SITE.
THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IS BEING PROPOSED FOR A STORM WATER RETENTION BASIN, AND THEN THERE'S ALSO A PORTION OF THAT PROPERTY HAS WITHIN THE EXISTING FLOODPLAIN, AND SO THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO NOT DISTURB THAT AREA, IN ESSENCE TO LEAVE THAT AREA ALONE.
SO THIS IS JUST -- THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES ARE A COUPLE OF ELEVATION DRAWINGS I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU OF WHAT THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED.
YOU'LL SEE THAT THE BUILDING IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE KIP TYPICAL HONDA COLORS, SO YOU'LL SEE IT'S DOMINATED BY THAT WHITE-GRAYISH COLOR ALONG WITH THE BLUE COLOR THAT YOU SEE THERE.
IT'S THE HONDA MODEL, MODEL, IF YOU WILL, FOR THEIR BUILDINGS.
THIS IS SHOWING YOU THE LANDSCAPE PLAN.
THE APPLICANT HAS CHOSEN, WITH AGREEMENT WHEN INPUT FROM THE STAFF, A DESERT FRIENDLY LANDSCAPE MOTIF, SO YOU SEE THE COMBINATION OF DECOMPOSED GRAVEL WITH PALM TREES AND DESERT APPROPRIATE SHRUBBERY.
THIS IS THE FLOOR PLAN OF THE PROPOSED 14,950 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING, AND AS YOU CAN SEE IT'S A TYPICAL DEALERSHIP SHOWROOM.
IT'S GOT SHOWROOM SPACE AND OTHER ASSOCIATED SPACES.
HERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL ELEVATIONS LOOKING AT VARIOUS ANGLES OF THE BUILDING.
THIS IS LOOKING STRAIGHT ON THE BUILDING FROM VARNER ROAD, AND THEN THE IMAGE TO THE BOTTOM IS LOOKING NORTH, FROM NORTH TO THE SOUTH.
AGAIN, THIS IS LOOKING WEST TO EAST, AND THEN YOU'RE LOOKING BOTTOM IMAGE IS EAST TO WEST.
HERE IS THE MATERIALS AND COLOR BOARD FOR THE SITE.
AGAIN TYPICAL COLORS THAT YOU WILL SEE ON MOST HONDA DEALERSHIPS.
SO BEFORE I GO INTO THE RECOMMENDATIONS, I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT -- FIRST OF ALL, I WANTED TO APOLOGIZE TO THE COMMISSION AND THE PUBLIC.
WE HAVE ADOPTED A NEW AGENDA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND WE HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH THE PROJECT, FOR THIS PROJECT.
THIS WAS OUR FIRST UTILIZATION THAT OF AND WE HAD SOME ISSUES.
SO WE DID PUBLISH A REVISED STAFF REPORT TODAY AND UPDATED, AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHTED TO YOU.
JUST GIVE ME ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
SO THE TWO ISSUES I WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION ARE THUS: IN CONDITION RULE NUMBER 6, THERE IS A REFERENCE TO -- AN ERRONEOUS REFERENCE TO A CUP.
THAT'S WHAT WE WILL FIX IN CUP IF IT IS ULTIMATELY APPROVED.
AND THEN FOR THE OTHER CONDITION, CONDITION APPROVAL NUMBER 10 ON PAGE 13, IN THE CUP RESOLUTION IT STATES THE APPLICANT SHALL LIMIT VEHICLE DELIVERIES BY SEMI-TRUCKS OR OTHER LARGE TRUCKS FROM 7:00 A.M.
[00:10:04]
IS TO 7:00 P.M.AS THE COMMISSION MAY REMEMBER FROM YOUR REVIEW OF THE KIA DEALERSHIP, WE ULTIMATELY WORKED OUT A DIFFERENT APPROACH ON THAT, RECOGNIZING THAT SOMETIMES THE DEALERSHIPS DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THIRD PARTY DELIVERIES, SO THE REPORT HAS THE CORRECT LANGUAGE IN IT, AND THAT LANGUAGE READS, "THE APPLICANT SHALL MINIMIZE VEHICLE LOADING AND UNLEADING OSKTS BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 7:00 A.M.
P WHEN OBSERVATION THESE HOURS IS NOT -- THE APPLICANT SHALL LIMIT UNLOADING AND LOADING ACTIVITIES TO THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE DEALERSHIP SITE ALONG THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE SITE'S VARNER ROAD FRONTAGE." SO SIMILAR FOR WHAT WE TRIED TO DO FOR KIA, WE'RE TRYING TO BE MIND OF THE OF THE FACT THAT THOSE LOADING ACTS OF CAN IMPACT SURROUNDING AREAS.
RESIDENTIAL USES WITHIN APPROXIMATE IT TO THE SITE BUT WE OFTEN RECOGNIZE THAT DEALERSHIPS DON'T OFTEN HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL WHEN THOSE DELIVERIES ARE OCCURRED BECAUSE THEY ARE BY THIRD PARTIES SO WHEN IN THOSE INSTANCES WHEN THEY ARE OUTSIDE OF 7:00 A.M.
TO 7:00 P.M., WE'RE CONDITIONING THE DELIVERY ACTIVITIES BE LIMITED ALONG THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE PROJECT SITE AND/OR ALONG THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE SITE, VARNER ROAD FRONTAGE.
SO WITH THAT, THE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF ALL OF THE ASSOCIATED RESOLUTIONS.
AGAIN, THAT'S RECOMMENDING ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 2010 PERTAINING TO THE OOH APPROVAL OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 21-11-560 AND COOPERATING THE MITIGATED DESIGNATION AND MITIGATION MONITORING REPORTING PROGRAM.
RESOLUTION NUMBER 2011, A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING PLAN A DENGY CONDITIONAL A APPROVING 1702 WITH THE AMENDMENT THAT I HAVE PREVIOUSLY NOTED JUST A MOMENT AGO.
AND THEN ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 2012, APPROVING CONDITIONALLY APPROVING THE DESIGN REVIEW 21-10-491.
WITH THAT, THAT IS MY STAFF REPORT.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE COMMISSION MITE HAVE.
AND THE APPLICANT AND THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE I BELIEVE ARE END IN THAT ATTENDANCE THIS EVENING AND ARE RAIBL TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT I CAN'T ANSWER AND WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THEM TO ANSWER.
>> CHAIRPERSON YSIANO: THANK YOU, EXPENSIVE COMIRGZ, DO ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. KEVIN SNYDER ON HIS REPORT?
>> COMMISSIONER FRANZ: NOBODY? I HAVE ONE.
>> CHAIRPERSON YSIANO: PLEASE.
>> COMMISSIONER FRANZ: THANK YOU.
ONE OF OUR BIGGEST CONCERNS OR A FEW OFCH THEM ANYWAY HAS BEEN ELECTRICAL ROOMS AND SCREENING OF ALL EQUIPMENT.
BASED ON WHAT I WAGS ABLE TO SEE ON THIS PLAN, CAN YOU PLEASE CONFIRM THAT ALL EQUIPMENT IS ON THE ROOF AND COVERED BY THE DESIGN AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE NOT VISIBLE ANYWHERE OR AM I MISSING SOMETHING?
>> KEVIN SNYDER: IF MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY, I BELIEVE THEY ARE ON THE ROOF AND SCREENED BUT ACTUALLY DAVID IS SHAKING HIS HEAD NO, SO I SAID THAT WRONG.
WHY DON'T WE DEFER THAT TO THE APPLICANT.
TYPICALLY WE DO REQUIRE THAT GROUND MOUNTED MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT BE APPROPRIATELY SCREENED AND NOT VISIBLE, BUT I WILL LET THE APPLICANT'S ARCHITECT DESCRIBE IS THE INTENT ON TO THAT WHILE I LOOK FOR A MOMENT TO SEE -- LOOK BACK AT THE STAFF REPORT.
UNFORTUNATELY, MEMORY'S FADING FOR A MINUTE HERE IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO REMEMBER EXACTLY THAT.
>> COMMISSIONER FRANZ: I'LL HOLD THE OTHER QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT AS WELL.
>> CHAIRPERSON YSIANO: ANY OTHER COMMISSIONERS' QUESTIONS FOR MR. SNYDER ORAL SHALL WE GO AHEAD AND HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT? OKAY.
VANESSA, CAN WE HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT.
>> ZACH HEINSELMAN: CITY ATTORNEY ZACH ZACH HEINSELMAN.
I SUGGEST WE OPEN THE HEARING.
>> LET'S OPEN THE PUBLIC HERRING AND MS. CASTILLO, CAN WE INVITE THE APPLICANT TO GO AHEAD AND PRESENT AND WE'LL MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENTS.
>> YES, BOTH MR. DRAKE AND MR. MOZORAS ARE IN AS PANELISTS.
WE'RE HERE TO RESPOND TO ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS.
WE'RE GRATEFUL THAT WE CAN DO THIS DURING THIS TIME OF COVID.
SO -- AND JOHN IS RIGHT TO MY SIDE RIGHT HERE, PRINCIPAL OF PVG ARCHITECTS.
WE HAVE A MECHANICAL UNIT DOWN ON THE GROUND FLOOR OUTSIDE WHERE WE'RE KEEPING THE STORAGE OF THE VEHICLES THAT ARE GOING TO BE SOLD IN THE FUTURE, AND THE
[00:15:01]
PROJECT'S COVERED IN BACK AREA BY AN 8-FOOT CMU WALL, SO YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE THE HVAC EQUIPMENT AT GROUND LEVEL.THERE'S NO EQUIPMENT ON THE ROOF IF IT BE.
SO IS THE MECHANICAL UNIT IS SCREENED FROM OTHER PROPERTIES FROM LOOKING IN.
COMMISSIONER FRANZ, DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT OR DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE ANY OTHER ITEMS TO ADD TO THE PRESENTATION OF MR. SNYDER?
>> COMMISSIONER FRANZ: YEAH, -- SORRY.
I'D LIKE TO SEE IF THERE'S A PHOTO WHERE WE CAN SEE THAT SCREENING BECAUSE I REALLY COULDN'T QUITE TELL.
ARE ANY OF THE IMAGES THAT WE HAVE SHOW HOW THAT SCREENING IS GOING TO LOOK AND EXACTLY WHERE IT IS IN THE BACK?
>> COMMISSIONER FRANZ, PHYSICALLY A CMU WALL AROUND THE PROPERTY, AND THERE ARE DIFFERENT SIZES OF CMU WALL.
BACK BEHIND THE HOUSE BASE IS AN 8-FOOT CMU WALL IF YOU BRING UP THIS EXHIBIT HERE, NUMBER 6.
I CAN SHOW YOU WHERE THE MECHANICAL UNITS ARE.
>> KEVIN SNYDER: IS THIS CORRECT, DAVID?
IT WOULD BE THE SITE PLAN, KEVIN.
NOW I'VE GOT TO MOVE OUR FACE OUT OF HERE.
BASICALLY, THERE'S AN 8-FOOT FENCE THAT COMES ALONG -- HERE'S WHERE THE MECHANICAL UNITS ARE TUCKED IN NEXT TO THE BUILDING.
THIS IS ALL STORAGE PARKING RIGHT IN THROUGH HERE, BUT WE HAVE AN 8-FOOT FENCE WITH A GATE THAT COMES ALL THE WAY ALONG -- CAN YOU SEE MY CURSOR?
>> KEVIN SNYDER: UNFORTUNATELY THEY CAN'T BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE TO SHARE THE SCREEN.
I'LL STOP SHARING AND YOU CAN SHARE.
I'M NEW AT THIS WITH THE CITY.
WE SHOULD BE SHARING OUR SCREEN.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO BRING THAT UP.
THIS IS THE BACK PORTION OF THE PROPERTY RIGHT IN THROUGH HERE WHICH HAS AN 8-FOOT HIGH FENCE AROUND THE EAST SIDE, THE NORTH SIDE, AND THE WEST SIDE AND ACROSS THE FRONT TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT FROM HERE BUT ALSO VISUALLY HIDE MECHANICAL UNIT AREAS RIGHT IN THIS AREA RIGHT HERE.
I'M TRYING TO SEE IF I CAN FIND A BETTER SITE PLAN FOR YOU.
SO THE MECHANICAL UNIT'S RIGHT WHERE THE CURSOR IS RIGHT NOW.
AND THEN BASICALLY THAT 8-FOOT FENCE IS RIGHT HERE, HERE, HERE AND HERE.
AND THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES, THE EQUIPMENT IS BELOW 8 FEET SO THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE IN AT THIS POINT.
SO IF YOU ARE ON THE PROPERTY YOU'RE GOING TO WALK RIGHT BY IT, BUT THAT'S GOING TO BE BACK OF HOUSE?
>> COMMISSIONER FRANZ: AND NOT PUBLICALLY VIEWABLE, IS THAT CORRECT?
>> COMMISSIONER FRANZ: >> COMMISSIONER FRANZ: ALL RIGHT.
CHAIR, I HAVE ONE MORE IF YOU DON'T MIND.
>> CHAIRPERSON YSIANO: CERTAINLY.
>> COMMISSIONER FRANZ: WE TALKED ABOUT THE FLOOD CONTROL AREA IN THE BACK.
THAT'S A BIG PERCENTAGE OF THE PROPERTY THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO REMAIN JUST NATURAL HABITAT.
[00:20:01]
IS THAT CORRECT.>> KEVIN SNYDER: COMMISSIONER, THE APPLICANT IS INTENDING TO LEAVE THAT AREA UNDISTURBED TO AVOID ANY IMPACT TO THAT FLOODPLAIN AREA AND ASSOCIATED PERMITTING WITH THE U.S.
ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS TO CONTROL THE WATER DISTRICT.
SO UNLESS I'M SAYING ANYTHING WRONG, IF THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE OR THE APPLICANT WANTS TO CORRECT ME, THAT HAS BEEN OUR UNDERSTANDING ALL LONG, THAT THERE WAS AN INTENT TO AVOID.
>> SPEAKER: KEVIN, IT'S GOING TO BE LEFT PRETTY MUCH IN ITS NATURAL STATE.
THERE'S A EXISTING DIP IN THE SOIL RIGHT IN HERE THAT WILL BE THE SECONDARY RETENTION AREA.
THERE'S THE FIRST RETENTION AREA THAT'S RIGHT IN HERE, AND THEN WHEN THAT FILLS DURING TEN-YEAR, 50-YEAR STORM, IT WILL GO INTO THIS AREA, AND IT'S BEEN DESIGNED TO TAKE THAT.
>> COMMISSIONER FRANZ: AND IF AT ANY TIME YOU DECIDE TO BUILD ON IT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS AND A HOLE NOTHER PROCESS BEFORE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING ON THAT BACK PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.
>> SPEAKER: THE OWNER UNDERSTANDS THAT, COMMISSIONER FRANZ.
>> COMMISSIONER FRANZ: JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T MISSING SOMETHING THERE.
>> COMMISSIONER FRANZ: THOSE ARE THE ONLY QUESTIONS I HAVE AT THIS TIME, THANK YOU.
>> CHAIRPERSON YSIANO: GENTLEMEN, DID YOU HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS TO ADD TO THE PRESENTATION?
>> SPEAKER: NO, WE'RE JUST HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT.
THE PRESENTATION WAS VERY THOROUGH.
BEING THAT THERE'S NO OTHER COMMISSIONER COMMENTS, LET'S MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENTS.
VANESSA, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS?
>> CHAIRPERSON YSIANO: THERE WERE NONE.
IF THERE'S ANYONE ELSE ON THE ZOOM MEETING AT THIS POINT, WE'LL TO A LAST CALL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE CLICK THE "RAISE HAND" BUTTON ON THE ZOOM TOOL BAR AND WE WILL CONNECT AND YOU GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE YOUR COMMENTS.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER GUESTS ON THE CALL, MS. CASTILLO?
>> I DON'T SEE ANY RAISED HANDS.
THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MOVE ON TO COMMISSIONER DELIBERATION.
COMMISSIONERS, ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS REGARDING THIS TO THE COMMISSION OR WOULD ANYONE WANT TO ENTERTAIN MAKING A MOTION?
>> COMMISSIONER ERIC CEJA: I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO MAKE A MOTION IF WE COULD GET THE RESOLUTIONS ON THE SCREEN.
>> KEVIN SNYDER: ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
>> COMMISSIONER ERIC CEJA: THANK YOU.
>> CHAIRPERSON YSIANO: THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER CEJA.
>> KEVIN SNYDER: AND AS THE COMMISSIONERS MAKE -- AS THE COMMISSIONER MAKES THE RESOLUTION, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WHEN YOU GET TO RESOLUTION NUMBER 2011 THE CORRECTIONS NOTED BY ME IN MY STAFF REPORT WHERE YOU AUTHORIZED WITH AMENDMENTS IDENTIFIED IN THE STAFF REPORT, SOMETHING HAD TO THAT EFFECT SO IT'S ON THE RECORD, UNLESS THE CITY ATTORNEY HAS A DIFFERENT WAY OF SAYING IT.
SA I THINK AS DIRECTOR SNYDER PHRASED IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO KNOW THE.
THE IF YOU WANTED TOWS CONDITIONS INCORPORATED IT WOULD BE SUBJECTED TO IF THE FINDINGS AND APPROVAL THEREIN AS REFLECTED BY STAFF DURING THE ORAL STAFF REPORT.
>> COMMISSIONER CEJA: I MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT MOTION NUMBER 2010 RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF INDIO TO APPROVE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 21-11-560.
