Stacey Ringseth- She.

Good evening, President and members of the Planning Commission. For you tonight are a zone text amendment, zoning map amendment, general plan text amendment, and general plan land use map amendment. All these amendments are proposed in conjunction with the work effort to update the city's objective design figures and develop focused area design plans. So first I'll have our consultant provide a presentation on the work effort and the deliverables, and then I will let you all know what formal actions are to be taken today. So with that, please welcome from New Orleans, our industry coach.

Welcome. Thank you. Thank you, Megan. Good evening. Thank you so much for having me here this evening. I am Jamie Williams, and my firm is RRM Design Group, and we're a multidisciplinary firm. So we have architects and planners and landscape architects and engineers all under one roof. So it really brings all the disciplines that you need to develop some great elements. Thanks. So today, I'm going to give you an overview of our work effort. I'm excited. It's been a long process. And I think we have some really lovely materials to present this evening, including revisions to your objective design standards, as well as design guidelines. So this is an overview of the work effort. We did an extensive existing conditions analysis, walked the area, canvassed the city, took a look at the existing urban fabric. In addition, conducted a number of community engagement activities and events. And then ultimately, as I said, updated your objective design standards and produced design units. Just to quickly clarify what this is not, it is not an effort that involves single family development. So there were no changes to any of the single family areas, as well as no changes to your code development standards, and things like that. And it did not change any of the allowed uses. So really focused on design quality. Next slide. indicates the number of community engagement activities, which helped really inform the design character and desired by the community. Most recently, there was also a community meeting in April where the final product was discussed, but it involved city council, it involved community open houses that were citywide, as well as specific Community engagement activities for each of the focus areas and pop up events, including farmers markets and streets. And updates the City Council, there was also an online questionnaire, so that everybody can participate. So I'd like to first get into the objective design standards and their purpose and intent. Next slide. The objective design standards and the design guidelines work collectively together to ensure high quality design in a citywide focus. And they're essentially utilized to be layered together. They also help inform decision makers, designers, architects, and developers with what is expected of the community is looking for in design. Objective design standards are already existing today, and they are clear and measurable regulations. They are the rules. And the reason we updated them is there's been a recent trend in the last several years because of changes in state law to ensure that those standards are active and current, and there needed to be some adjustments to your existing standards really just to elevate the expectations and quality of future design. It's important to understand that they do not allow for any personal or subjective approach. So one person looks at it, three people look at it, 100 people look at it. Everybody knows exactly what's expected and what's required. And then the state law also clearly states what an objective design standards needs to be held accountable to. Next slide. Guidelines, however, are permitted because they provide design direction, but they allow for designer flexibility. So they become the tool that we use to set expectations and to clearly refer to through the design review process, but they are not required. They are recommendations and they are flexible and they are intended to work together. Whereas I stated the standards are objectively measured and they are required. This is an example of some objective design standards. As I stated, they apply citywide. It's an update to what you already have. And the topics cover building design and site design. And this graphic shows some of the examples of topics that might be discussed. The revised and updated objective design standards focused on enhancing what was already there with some additional clarification and emphasis on things like building orientation, building articulation, and then some specific land use categories as it relates to the design of the building. So just drive through service stations, as well as some additional standards to help with new development that would come in next to your existing single family zones or . This is an example of the red line draft that you have. As I stated, these are located in your development code. It is a technical exercise, and it just is to complement and ensure alignment with the design guidelines. Next slide. I'd like to go over the design guidelines as well. The design guidelines are three separate documents, and each one has a focus area, East Main Street, West Main Street, and Valley Boulevard. Next slide. They apply to multifamily, mixed-use, and non-residential development, and it's really intended for new as well as remodeled or expanded development projects. So the design guidelines are organized by very similar. Each of the study areas have CEPGED, which I'll explain in a minute, site design, building design, and utilitarian design elements as part of each of the CEPGED guidelines. CEPTED stands for Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, and the intention is to deter potential crime by providing some additional design direction, promoting eyes on the street, pedestrian activity, improved maintenance, strategically placed landscaping and lighting in the lake. Next slide. The topics covered under site design include vehicular access and parking, building placement, landscaping, parking lot landscaping, and loading and storage areas. Whereas the building design section of each document focuses on building form, massing, articulation, roof lines, windows, doors, and storefronts, and colors and materials. The utilitarian design section really focuses on elevating the design quality of screening, of mechanical equipment, above ground or roof mounted equipment, so that you have screening that is intentionally inappropriate. Now I'll go through each of the focus areas real quick here. The first one is East Main Street. And as you can see on the right, it is inclusive of all of the East Main Corridor zoning. And it is separated into two sub areas, which I'll go into, but it's the East Main focus area, which is from Chapel to Granada. And then from the Old Town area, which is from Granada to the Eastern Boundary. Selected. The diagram on the right shows how the document is organized by each of these sub-districts. A point of note is that the old Townsend area focuses on specific architecture, desired architectural styles that the community came up with. So these are some images that are included within the document. The East Main Street focus area talks about storefronts and adjacency to the public realm, building materials, varied roof lines, and landscaping plant pallets. This is just a blow up of how the two areas are organized. And you can see that Vidal is the separator. Nice. So the East Main Street sub-area, these lots are a little bit larger. They include some more commercial development of a larger scale. And so the guidelines really focus on corporate architecture and building and site design to make it a cohesive and context-sensitive area. The Old Town sub-area is very different. It's super pedestrian-oriented. Buildings are located at the street edge. And so that is where we highlighted embracing that pedestrian realm as well as highlighting three desired architectural styles. And we can briefly go through those. The first one is the Spanish Revival Mission style. You can see by the imagery, clay tile, smooth, Charles Stepo has promoted arcades and arches, recessed storefronts. Those are some of the elements that are included within that section. Next slide. The other desired architectural style for this area was traditional Main Street. We're associating that with storefronts or downtowns in the late 19th century, early 20th century. high ratio of storefronts and glazing or glass. Brick and masonry was often commonly used, so the guidelines promote those types of materials and design elements. Next. The last prevalent style that's in the East Main Corridor is Art Deco, and you can see from these examples there are different types of shapes, vibrant colors as accents, Symmetrical massing and typically a more flat roofline with some accents. The next graphic is just if you were, if this property wanted to redevelop over time and would follow some of the guidelines, the next slide is what potentially it could look like. So as you can see, setback of the upper floors, recessed window treatment and the like. So the West Main Street focus area, go ahead, encompasses a lot of CBD, a little bit of CMU, a little bit of high-density residential, and it goes from chapel to Atlantic. Some of the elements promoted here include street furnishings and public art. because a number of the buildings within this area are already built out. And this is where we're looking at eliminating the existing somewhat dated master plan and bringing, carrying forward a number of the elements that we think still should apply and would make this area better. So with that, there's a few images here. You can see that it's focusing on the public realm and some recommendations. Moving on to plant pallets, frostings, public plazas at the street edge, and then focusing primarily on promoting the brick material and feed, which is already there today. The last photo, this is an example, again, of what it could look like through some enhanced bringing back the brick, making sure that any new development will be complimentary, revealing some of the historic materials that were covered up, and the like. The last area is Valley Boulevard. And this area is very, first of all, it goes the entire length of Valley from either city boundary. And it is entirely inclusive of the central business district zoning. This is another area where we took a look at good corridor design, but also some of the specific needs of that area, and those include supplemental guidelines for large library development, corporate chains, drive-thrus, hotels, motels, and gas stations. This is an example of some of the imagery that's included within that vision for what it could be. These are some examples of high-quality drive-throughs, as well as service stations where we're using materials that are similar to primary relief. An additional aspect of the Valley Boulevard is a concept of this university district and really capitalizing on its adjacency to Cal State LA. And so the guidelines here really promote almost a campus-like setting. Next slide. Pedestrian connectivity as well as common open space. Some guidelines for housing and really promoting opportunity for this area over time to transition. And then we have one final, this is another example of that sort of public building space. And then over time, a potential redevelopment could look like this. The following events. With that, I summarized all of these things and I'm going to hand it back to me.

Next one, please. Yes, so now we're going to move into this session on the various amendments proposed today and how they relate to the overall work effort for each of the design standards and design guidelines. Next. So the proposed amendments include the elimination of the West Indian Corridor Master Plan Overlay District zoning classification and the corresponding Downtown Specific Plan Overlay District, which is the director of the nine use classification. So this West Main corridor master plan was adopted in 2006 as a part of a regional agency project. Over time, the functionality and the relevance of this master plan have diminished, and the West Main Street focus area design guidelines document is meant to provide updated guidelines that better reflect the city's current vision of the West Main Street area. So here you can see the zoning map. before with the West main corridor master plan overlay districts and then now propose with the removal of that overlay districts. Next slide please. So these are just some examples of what was carried over or some guidelines that were carried over. So the plant pallet was carried over, the tree pallet for the street trees in West Main. So on the left you'll see a screenshot from the West Main master plan and on the right is the proposed waste maintenance items. Next slide. Same thing here with the street furniture. On the left, it's the West Main master plan that we're proposing to remove or eliminate and then on the right is the waste maintenance items as well. Next slide. And along with that is the zoning text amendment. So the West Main corridor master plan is a chapter within the zoning code. So that is being removed completely. And then also the updated alternative design standards that Jamie discussed, those are part of the zoning, or those require is a need to submit it. Next slide. And then here we have another zoning map amendment. So along with the removal of the West Main corridor master plan overlay district, we also are fixing some inconsistencies in zoning map and in course zoning general plan that you saw as well. So here on the left, you'll see the existing zoning designations, and then on the right, the land use classification. And then for the general plan text amendment, we are having to remove all references to the downtown specific plan goal relay district which is the West Main corridor master plan. So that is impacting three separate pages in the general plan. Next page. And then this is the general plan that you saw, which where you can see the room with a lot of the downtown specific planning that we just shared. On the left is the existing, and then on the right is the proposed next slide. And then these are the corresponding both for the inconsistencies that we saw in the survey. Next slide. So with that, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the various zoning general plan amendments, and we are available for any questions as well as the inconsistency. Thank you.

Thank you. Commissioners, do you have any technical questions or questions? Marguerite McLaughlin, Verification from sound based on their presentation.

Marguerite McLaughlin, All right. Marguerite McLaughlin, Thank you, yes, some questions real quick. Marguerite McLaughlin, For people. Marguerite McLaughlin, From the. Marguerite McLaughlin, Guidelines there's a couple of things about one is for the old town on Main Street. The graphic shows the Fossil, the quality of development is like a Spanish style or Spanish style building. And I'm wondering if there was evidence of that type of architecture along that part of the town and whether there was a preference for that style of architecture in the surveys or the objects that you guys did.

Yeah, thank you for that. There is, in fact, precedence for that, and most mainly the very big church. But anyway, yes, there's precedence. And then as part of the community engagement process, we went through an extensive opportunity to collect feedback and provided a number of styles and asked folks to comment, to vote, to let us know what their preferences were, and that was part of that process.

I know that on the regular main part, there's evidence of that type of architecture, not necessarily in the whole town area with the smaller storefronts. That's why I was asking, because if we're having more of the traditional storefronts and more of the Art Deco, then I think we should have continuity in the type of architecture. intellectuals in a different style in that area. So that's just one recommendation. And then on the, let's see, on the Valley Boulevard, I know that there's, it's a long stretch and parcels of various sizes. And I was wondering about the, trying to think on the the part that's furthest to the west where it's like the ties in with the university the the persons are not very large there and so there's there's all i don't foresee there being a lot of opportunity for large um residential development of enormous development with the saw in that area specifically that made you think that that could have happened down there?

Well, I think there's opportunity through lot consolidation. So that is through your existing zoning. It allows for more density than what is there today. And so through lot consolidation, it could completely be feasible that something like that could happen.

The lots are very, they're not very They're pretty shallow lots. They're all very small. So it's the depth that I'm concerned about because you have an alley back there. You have a lot of set constraints on that area between Fremont and the boundary. And you don't see those constraints on the furthest east part where the lots get bigger. There's greater opportunity. But I just didn't see that happening where we see that. So I just don't know if there's a lot of opportunity. And I think that was it. And then there's one more question. Oh, yeah. Where does this go? Something else.

Thank you.

Any other commissioners? Mr.

Yes. Clarify. For the East Main, what we see more is a Spanish miniaturized style, right?

Well, if you look in the graphic for the proposed redevelopment, it shows a Spanish colonial style building. And I think that area really doesn't show that you don't see a lot of that, like, for at least these sort of in the whole-time area.

Yeah. In the whole-time area, I see more art deco and the brick building. So, and on Bali, what I see a lot is more, you know, the case that we have last week here, that is more 50s, 60s architecture. And I don't think it's mentioned in the document at all. This will be interesting to take advantage as well. So, you know, what is there if you want to be more with your feet reviews. You just know the status.

Any other questions or comments from commissioners. All right, then I'll open the public testimony portion of the public hearing. And I see that we have one speaker card that's been submitted.

So let's look at it. I think a lot of the public comments over time have been incorporated into this document. And I'm glad to see that. on the East Main subsection of the EMC there. We'll call it EMC because the boundaries correspond to the EMC. There's actually a range of, they gave several styles that could be included in the article and so forth. And some that are very, almost identical to what's there now. And I would expect those to kind of continue in the East Main section. We have seen the project that 801 East Main went in very much with the Spanish style, which was, again, a reflection of the developer being willing to engage with the community. Something that I would certainly recommend that any developer do, whether commercial or mixed use or residential project, it's best to engage with the community because sometimes community has some pretty good ideas. And I think some of them are being reflected in the project at 801 East Main. If you go down driving west on East Main Street, coming down from San Diego, you'll find that the architecture there with the tile roof and everything, pretty much matches just a couple blocks down the old YMCA building and so forth. I happened to be by there. I guess they're starting to sell because they plopped in a lot of the green stuff and everything. They sort of opened the sales office and just happened to go by there. I shot this on the way... down here tonight. Very nice looking corner and everything there. And I think people are definitely going to be very happy with that project. The developer hired Paul Talbot to work with the community former mayor here. And I think that was very, very successful. Didn't get everything the community wanted, but got a lot of things the community wanted. One other thing, two other things. One is just there's been some mention of kind of building right up to the street front. And I think on corners, the pictures I've seen there, I'd like to you're driving one way, you've got to be able to see the cars coming at you from the left. And many of the pictures there do show that. They had some pictures of East Main and Valencia, for example. Three of the four corners there have that. It's cut off there. Only one doesn't really go up and kind of lead to a blind spot. One other thing, there were some comments about the University how is this likely to come about? I think it's, for various physical reasons, probably not going to be a major thing in the future, in the immediate future, at least, unless there are some changes. Cal State has evolved. There's been an effort there to put in more dormitories. But in talking to Dr. Ralph Gordoza, who used to be a university president and Cal State LA and all, they had a really hard time filling those dorms. They used to be parking lots, now they're dorms, but particularly with what's happening and with the admission of foreign students and so forth, there was a lot of foreign students who came in and stayed in those dorms. The local folks are still pretty much commuter. And if there's ever gonna be anything of that, because it's situated high on the hill, And then you've got the ditch for the 710 sub, and then the road to the thing is much lower. So the people who are going to utilize that will probably be people related to the residential component there. They happened to work out a thing recently with ELAC to try and get some of the ELAC students to stay there. Or is it something Dr. Ralph Cardos put the two colleges together on that? And another thing is you need to get eventually a bus line that goes from there to Valley. And right now we don't have that with the Act line or anything. So maybe that can be extended later. Those are just some comments on it. Thank you very much.

I have a question for you, Mr. McKenna. Sure. The original YMCA building you're talking about is at the corner of Mansour and Main Street?

Are you talking about the But you're talking about the old YMCA. That's the one that Almancer and Main Street. It's very much driving west on East Main Street. We'll notice there's that kind of lookalike. Thank you. Thank you.

All right. I don't think there are any written comments that you can see on the slide. I believe there are some questions on Zoom. Excellent. If there's anyone else wishing to provide public comment here on Zoom, you may raise your hand using the raise hand feature on Zoom. And if you called into the meeting, please dial star nine on your phone's dialing pad to raise your hand and star six to unmute yourself. If you could also state your name for the record, it would be appreciated. You will have five minutes. Is there anyone wishing to provide public comment?

We have two people. The first person would be Jennifer Ng. Jennifer, go ahead, please.

Hello, Planning Commissioner members. I'm so happy that this has finally made it to you tonight. I know staff has put a lot of work into it. As you know, I am a member of our design review board. Just for clarification for you, when this was presented to the design review board back in May of 2025, it was just a presentation and it was nowhere near kind of as complete as it is now, which I'm very happy to see how fleshed out it has become. But it was a presentation to us, so we weren't specifically asked for our input at that time. But, you know, as always, as commissioners, we were encouraged to reach out to staff if we had any questions or concerns. And I do still have one main concern with the breakout on EMC between Granada and the end of town, you know, where those smaller lots are. We're saying that that can also be traditional Main Street, and that's being defined as late 19th century, early 20th century. Now, if you actually walk down this section of East Main Street, the majority of it is done 1940s, 1950s, a little 1960s, is the majority of those lots now. Is there Spanish in there? Absolutely. Is there some Art Deco? Yes. But the majority of it is mid 20th century, so 1950s, architectural styles. Now, some of those details were called out in the other parts of this document, um, being planters, the elongated brick. So it's kind of some of the more fifties flavor being talked about in there, but I don't know if defining it as traditional main street is the best verbiage for us to go with on that. There is some overlap in design, but traditional main street, given those years, that's more of like old town Pasadena, um, our city centers probably more late or, you know, early 1900s to 1920s, 1930s, but really East Maine from Granada to the end of the city limit is very much that, that mid-century 1930s, forties and fifties. So maybe we could just see if we can find a little bit different verbiage in there, maybe define that a little bit better than we do, but, I will absolutely say staff has put a ton of work into this. There was a lot of community outreach. Commissioner Gardea, to address your issue with so much Spanish being kind of brought up over and over again, we did have walks through the EMC for that particular breakout area. And I have to say, every neighbor who went on that walk was very surprised to see how much of the architectures from that mid-century are left in that area of town. They just didn't know what they were looking at to be able to understand that that was mid-century architecture. So a lot of people were asking for Spanish in different places. city meetings and such and even in conversations between each other because they like Spanish, not realizing how much of that mid-century architecture was still there. So I think that's why a lot of people came back with Spanish. Yes, they like the look of it. I love that staff went out to the farmers markets and all of those where people could kind of vote with their little stickers. Um, but a lot of people who I think did those votes didn't actually live in this area of town. And, you know, we were shown pictures of pretty Spanish buildings. Yes, they're pretty. I'm going to put my sticker there. So some was, was very general to the entire town and, and some was absolutely reached out more in focus groups to people who lived in this area. Um, and I do also thank, uh, director Ho for coming out to the, one of those, um, walks as well to kind of see what the neighborhood is looking for. And I can absolutely 100% see some of that feedback regarding those mid-century buildings in here. And that is all I have. So thank you so much. I know you all must have spent a very long time reading through all this. It is a big agenda packet. So thank you. Thanks staff again and our consultants as well. That is all I have to say. Thank you.

Thank you, Jennifer.

Anyone else wishing to speak? Yes, we have one more raised hand. Bert. Good evening, Bert.

Go ahead.

Hi there, planning commissioners. You know, staff and the consultants did a phenomenal job on this presentation. It was actually a... Quite a joy to read, believe it or not. I actually enjoyed it a lot. I do want to clarify that when you walk down EMC, there's absolutely a sprinkling of Spanish and a dash of Art Deco. But walking with Jennifer frequently on East Main, it's mid-century predominantly. Jennifer and Olga had walks of EMC demonstrating the mid-century characteristics of For example, you have the roof overhangs. You have the use of those long, elongated bricks. You have those large open front windows. I would encourage calling out the dominant style. of the area uh which is mid-century it's not spanish it's not art deco um and and people point to uh bun and burger as art deco it's not you know it's a walter zick designed uh building that was built in the 1940s it's modern it's not art deco um the style uh It should be called out specifically the dominant style. It is mid-century. So I just wanted to point that out and ensure that everybody knows that. Those walks made it abundantly clear what that predominant style is. And if we're going to be redeveloping the area, it's easier to redevelop what's there instead of trying to tack on and force building owners to do something that goes against the actual predominant style of the area and of the actual building itself. Thank you.

Thank you, Bruce. Anyone else wishing to speak? No, we do not. Okay. Then I will close the public testimony portion of the public hearing. Does the applicant want to respond to or comment on any public testimony or comments made? No comments. Okay. Commissioners, do you have any questions or requests for clarification from staff?

There's one more question. Yeah, thank you. If or transitional style or architecture that we allow these standards.

So we have the objective design standards, which are required to be followed, and then the design guidelines, which are more of like an inspirational, aspirational. So there isn't like a specific prescribed style that they have to adhere to. but they do have to adhere to the standards, the objective design standards. And once they, you know, if somebody proposes a project with a mixture of styles or a mixture of features, typically staff would encourage them to, you know, pick one style, but ultimately they can go to the design review board with, you know, whatever they're proposing, and then it would be up to the design review board to to, you know, clinical conditions or who were denied, blah, blah.

So you want it to be true with kind.

Yes, that's what stands for research.

But it's not prohibited to not go with one true style.

It's not prohibited, but they do, again, hopefully the objective design standards kind of help that way. Yeah. And...

I think that was it. Like I said, I think that if a consultant could just change the one graphic, the one proposal, I think that would happen with the overall product. I did read through it. Obviously, a lot of thought went into it. It was very well prepared. And so I'm very, very pleased with the product as well. It was so satisfying.

Any other yes, Mr. Yeah, I would like to acknowledge last two comments from the comment regarding existing style in what we now call the old town area. I think it's important to recognize what's out there versus what you know you want or don't want. More important is really to understand, you know, the language of Volkswagen Africa 2 style. So I thought our design guideline will reflect more on the design standard than the objective, say, in terms of the style. And if, you know, for the recommendation, if we can acknowledge the existing mid-century style that exists and kind of recognize the existing building there, I'm sure it would help the future applicants to adhere with that and not to come up with something that doesn't really fit around the area. And I think it's very important to acknowledge that.

Any other? Yes.

Yeah, it's just kind of a general comment. In my profession, anything that has guidelines is typically some kind of a litigation breeder. So I'm trusting that you've gone through all of the litigation, all of the case law that where there's challenges, where there's maybe the design review board or maybe the planning commission tries to call out something in the guidelines. And it really is kind of a, it's in the guise of a public requirement. And so I think to Vice President Cabrillo's comment about someone building something that may not be really conformity with maybe something really eclectic I'm not entirely sure that we're able to force those guidelines on folks. I think that's your point, that we have the objective standards, but the guidelines are just that. There are strong suggestions, there are encouragements, there's that, but in the end, there's not a whole, that's just my opinion.

Thank you, Commissioner. Yes. You're welcome.

And I think, you know, by reading the document, I do appreciate as well all the, you know, detailing. But, you know, if I look at the document just by mentioning three people in silos, I think it's mighty misleading. And I know there's guidelines, there are suggestions. But, you know, people keep that in mind. And if, you know, we have professionals that are not too familiar with the area, they don't live in the city, they might not understand the whole fabric that we have and the different modalities of architecture we have. You know, we have a good sample right now standing in this building, you know, 50-60s architecture. I think we, in my opinion, we should include information within the document that as well.

Thank you, Commissioner Granada. Any other comments or questions from commissioners? All right then, I'm going to close the public hearing and entertain a motion on the proposed resolution.

I move the move.

Commissioner, Vice Chair, Gerardo Garcia.

Seconded by Sarah. Seconded by Gerardo. Thank you.

We have a first from Commissioner Gardea and second from Commissioner Dorado roll call please.

Chen. Yes. Dorado. Yes. Grijalva. Yes. Ho. Yes. Juarez.

Yes.

Gardea. Yes. Olson. Yes.

Next, we have oral communications from non-agenda or non-agenda items. This is the time of the meeting when the public may comment on anything not listed on the agenda. Anyone wishing to address the commission may fill out a blue speaker card and set the podium. And if you're on Zoom, you may raise your hand using the raise hand feature on Zoom. If you call into the meeting, please dial star nine on your phone style and raise your hand and star six to indicate yourself. If you could also state your name for the record, it would be appreciated. You will have five minutes. Is there anyone wishing to provide public comment? Anyone online?

No, no one online.

And no written comments that have been submitted to the city? No, we've not received any. Okay, thank you. We will now continue to general comments from the Planning Commission and conference meeting reports. Do any commissioners have any comments or announcements? We will now continue to comments from staff. Is there a report from the Director of Community Development?

No report this evening, but did want to remind all the commissioners that we will have a meeting on June 1st.

We have 1 a.m. schedules. So we'll be seeing you in the reports. Great, thank you. We've now completed all the items on the CNA's agenda, and the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Oakland Planning Commission will be held on Monday, June 1st at 7 p.m. We are adjourned.
