Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

I gave it to you. Very good. Thank you. Adyakshan Walsh is now with you. Okay. Thank you, Brandon. Good evening, everyone. Today is August 26, Wednesday. This episode of Aurora Planning and Zoning Commission's virtual session is starting now. I'm going to check the attendance of the commissioners. Commissioner George.

Here.

Commissioner Bush. Here. Commissioner Becker.

Here.

Commissioner Banga.

I am here. I am here. I am here.

I am here. I am here. I am here.

I am here. I am here.

Since there is nothing, the government is suggesting that minutes without objections should be accepted. Is there a second for this? Second will be done. Thank you, Commissioner Riley. On August 12, minutes without objections have been decided to be accepted and it has been approved. Is there any discussion on this? Is there any objection? Okay, minutes were accepted on August 12. Today, we have only one business inam, inam 8. Before we proceed with the agenda, we would like to inform the manager of this case, Eric Gates, about the update on Inam 8a. Mr. Gates, please speak. Thank you, sir. We are planning to withdraw from the Inam agenda. On Monday, we had a discussion with the CET Council. We are not sure if we will be able to move forward with that text. Therefore, we have not submitted a proposal to the council meeting. Therefore, before we bring this back to you, we will take some more time to review and examine it. Do you have any questions regarding Mr. Gates? Okay. Since there is no other option, we will move on to Agenda Solution No. 8. This will be discussed in detail. Do you have a second for this? Thank you, Commissioner Riley. The Agenda Solution Solution has been completed. Is there any discussion on this Solution Solution? Any objection? Okay. I'm suggesting to approve the agenda that was discussed. Do you have a second for this? I'll do it in a second. Thank you, Commissioner Riley. I've already made a suggestion to approve the agenda that was discussed. Is there any discussion in this suggestion? Is there any objection? Okay. Since the agenda is different and there is no official business, I will proceed quickly through our rules and procedures. If there is anyone in the public who has registered to speak in the evening, I will explain the strict rules and procedures at that time. Susan, has anyone registered to speak in the public? No one. Okay. Any announcements from the Commission or other business matters? Okay, Brandon, you can start with the report of our planning division manager. Chair, through you too. This is part of the update that we gave you about our activities with the CET Council in the legislation related to preparing more orders for the pod truck ordinance. So, we hope that we can reopen it in the near future. Generally, as you know, the CET Council is interested in directing data center systems. On Monday, we had a study session, so we are working hard on this legislation. Therefore, changes in the UDO will be made before this time, and it seems that there will be at least one decision related to MUI Zone District in the future. Therefore, we will immediately announce it in front of you. In the near future, it will take a little more time for other more complex needs, and it can be done after getting more information according to the interests of the CET Council. So this is my update. Thus, my report ends. Thank you, Brandon. I am available for questions. Commissioner Bush. Yes, Brandon too. I think about this data center. It was very late. Gayle and Sunny and I were in a budget committee five years ago. Even then, we were curious about the water needed for the data center. Then, when I was the chairman at that time, when I took part in the financial development organizations, that young man said, I have a lot of opportunities to set up data centers, but we asked, is it about water? So, instead of thinking about it as a big issue now, I think we should have thought about what to do about water a little while ago and what not to do about it. I think we knew about this a long time ago, but we are only discussing it now. Chair, can I say something? Yes, go ahead.

Rusty, Planning and Business Development Director. Commissioner Bush is happy to say that according to the law brought by Aurora Water a year or two years ago, data centers should use a closed loop cooling system. As far as I understand, more water is used outside than inside. So that's a good thing. But the first decision in the study session is to prohibit the use of evaporation cooling for agricultural needs, multifamily buildings, and furniture needs. They are not making such a harsh decision about single-family homes because many will have to bear it. So we are actually ahead.

Commissioner Hogan, good, thank you, thank you very much.

My question is about the update on Harmony Park. I think it's Harmony Park. Even if it comes to discussion earlier, it won't be accepted.

Commissioner Hogan, are you referring to the gas station and convenience store in the Harmony Master Plan Division? There are no new updates on that.

Will this go on like this forever?

The council has made a decision. Now it is in the hands of the commissioner. Let them decide what to do with the options in front of them. That's why.

Okay. Thank you.

Mom. Brendan, if there is a need for planning and development to give feedback on the agenda you changed tonight, you can focus on that without talking about it, right? I just want to know the opinions of the majority of people and business leaders. That is, I don't know the truth, but I don't know if some council members, especially Council Member Lawson, have proven it 10 months ago or 8 months ago. It was announced in the PED, but we saw it in the BAB. When I saw the change in the UDO, which was a little disappointing when I saw the change in the UDO, which was a little disappointing when I saw the change in the UDO, which was a little disappointing when I saw the change in the UDO, which was a little disappointing when I saw the change in the UDO, which was a little disappointing when I saw the change in the UDO, which was a little disappointing when I saw the change in the UDO, which was a little disappointing when I saw the change in the UDO, which was a little disappointing when I saw the change in the UDO, which was a little disappointing when I saw the change in the UDO, which was a little disappointing when I saw the change in the UDO, which was a little disappointing when I saw the change

Forgive me. Again, Chair Janine Restad, Planning and Business Development Director. After the meeting, many council members asked me about it. So, for accepting some opinions from the Puduttrek community, I would like to welcome our Business Development Manager, Cindy Pari and Ashwina Patel from SBDC. Then, if we get more time, we can ask more people about this in Engage Aurora. Great. Thank you. Do you have more questions for Brandon?

Okay, Lina. Now you are coming with the CET Attorney report. There is no report this evening. Okay.

Do you have more questions for Lina?

Thank you, Commissioner Riley.
