Good evening, everyone. The AmpliSpain planning committee meeting on September 10, 2026 is now underway. Please make your absences.

1:58Speaker 2

Commissioner Plumka.

1:59Speaker 2

Commissioner Lawo.

2:01Speaker 2

Commissioner Siasan. Present. Commissioner Wa. And Chairman Guding.

2:08 – 2:35Speaker 5

May I ask for a motion to adopt this agenda? I propose a motion. I support. 5 in favor. Now the motion. Adopted with 5 in favor. Are there any committee members who want to remove points from the agreement calendar? No. May I ask for a motion to adopt the agreement calendar?

2:37Speaker 4

I suggest to adopt the agreement calendar.

2:39Speaker 5

I support it. I want to talk, is there anyone here? I should ask them, is there anyone from here?

2:52 – 3:05Speaker 2

Our time right now is the Commission that makes the decision. You don't need to ask OK. We have received a written communication.

3:05 – 3:31Speaker 5

Through the Chairman, we already have a recipient. Are we not going to make a voice for you? There is one member who raised his hand. Michelle, please speak to the committee.

3:49 – 4:09Speaker 1

Hi, Michelle Salmon. I just want to say thank you to the Commission for your hard work for this and not only for its purpose. I can't express how much I appreciate your expertise in this matter and really looking at it line by line and making the best choice for all perspectives. So I just want to say thank you.

4:11 – 4:45Speaker 5

Thank you. Is there anyone else who wants to speak to the Commission about things that are not on the agenda tonight? Moving on to written communication, I want to admit one written communication that is accepted today from San Bruno Mountain Watch and we admit that it will be part of the discussion. Is there any other written communication for this meeting? I don't think so.

4:46Speaker 4

Long discussion.

4:52 – 5:31Speaker 5

This new business is involved in the agenda as a public opinion on the development agreement that will be issued among the petitioners. However, we were told that the City Council Committee, which is responsible for planning and preparing the development agreement that has been issued, has asked a little Do we have to open up to the public opinion and deny it or just deny the item?

5:35Speaker 2

Staff are happy to provide a brief report and then we can give our advice if you want to consider it. Thank you. Good evening everyone.

5:39 – 7:11Speaker 1

So, as noted by the Chairman tonight, we have a public opinion. Or in the agenda, we have a public opinion on the development agreement for the Bayan specific planning project. This is an independent request submitted by the BDI project applicant. This is also a requirement, as you all know from our general plan, so that the development agreement is submitted along with the specific plan that you have all proceeded to the Commission meeting on August 13. And as noted by the Chairman, the Commission has pointed to the Ad Hoc Subcommittee, which has worked with staff on the development agreement points. Oh, right now we do need additional time to complete the initial determination so that it can be considered by the Commission. And I need to note that the Commission will give recommendations on this matter to the Commission. When we finally have the determination available, the determination will be presented and presented in the staff report. Right now we recommend because we do not have the determination to be shared at this time so that the Commission will listen to the general opinion and immediately postpone it to the next regular meeting on September 24. At that time, we anticipated that we would have initial certainty for the consideration of the Commission and the public. And I conclude my report here. If there are any questions, we will be happy to answer them. But once again, that is our recommendation. Open with opinions and immediately move on to the next regular session.

7:11 – 7:29Speaker 5

In that case, let's open with public opinion and with the staff presentation. Can we hear the public opinion on September 4?

7:57Speaker 3

May I ask you a question? Can you explain a little more?

8:00 – 8:19Speaker 5

It seems that we will receive some initial recommendations in the form of a framework, then I assume there will be a complete agreement that will also be shown by us and how long this process will go on. I want to know if you can explain more about the full process and schedule for the development agreement.

8:21 – 8:53Speaker 1

Kami mengantisipasi, satu kali dengar pendapat di komisi untuk upaya khusus ini, namun tentu saja prosesnya memang seperti itu adanya. Mah, jadi itulah yang kami antisipasi, yaitu satu kali dengar pendapat publik dan komisi akan memberikan saran mengenai ketentuan kontrak awal. Anda tahu itu yang dimaksud dengan perjanjian. Ini adalah perjanjian antara pemerintah kota dan pengembang. Sebuah perjanjian hasil negosiasi. As you know, in the end, the Commission will consider the provisions again.

8:53Speaker 2

The instrument to adopt the development agreement is through regional regulations.

8:57 – 9:08Speaker 1

So there will be a draft of regional regulations that will be reviewed by the Commission in addition to the initial provisions and arranged into a recommendation for the Council.

9:10 – 9:26Speaker 2

I have a follow-up question. So when we accept the initial development agreement, is that the time when the Commission can give advice on the matter and so on?

9:26 – 9:38Speaker 1

I know there are some points that arise when discussing specific plans and IER for previous rights, and are separated that you consider. So yes, that will be the time when the Commission will submit those points.

9:38 – 9:49Speaker 5

Thank you very much. Are there any points initiated by STAL? There is for tonight.

9:49 – 10:46Speaker 1

So, as I think you all know, but maybe not all the general public know, this is my last meeting with all of you at least. For four months when I was preparing for a holiday, dan saya sangat senang bahwa kita akan memiliki direktur pengembangan masyarakat sementara yang hebat yang akan menggantikan saya selama saya cuti. Namanya Kevin Gardner dan dia adalah pimpinan di Kevin Gardner and Associates. Saya rasa... Kevin Gardner and Associates, I want him to be here with us through Zoom. Unfortunately, he still has other clients at the moment, so he is very generous with his time tonight to introduce himself to all of you. And you will see him at the next meeting of the Commission. So Kevin, do you want to talk to the Commission and give a brief summary of your experience?

10:46Speaker 4

Thank you Julia, and good evening Commissioners.

10:50Speaker 5

I am happy to meet you all and hope to meet you again.

10:55 – 11:28Speaker 4

My background is urban planning and urban design architecture. I used to work for various cities. My longest job was in the city of Burning Games for 11 years as a planning manager and community development director. There are many interesting stories in Hebrew. I appreciate the opportunity to replace Julia as long as she goes and I hope to meet you all directly.

11:33 – 12:02Speaker 1

Terima kasih, Kevin. Saya juga perlu menyebutkan bahwa dia mungkin sudah dikenal jika Anda mengikuti proyek visi Old County Road 70 yang digagas kota tahun lalu. Sebelum dia mendirikan kembali firma konsultasi, pribadinya dia bekerja di Good City Company, kontraktor kota yang memimpin upaya visi tersebut. Jadi, dia sudah sangat mengenal Brisbane dan kami senang sekali dia bergabung. Terima kasih, Kevin.

12:03Speaker 5

Thank you and welcome.

12:21 – 13:27Speaker 1

That is the first public opinion hearing for a specific plan. BALANCE and the Council have also received a schedule on the 3rd of September meeting which contains a large line of five public opinion hearings for the application. The date and topic are explained in the staff report on September 3, which is available on the city website at brisbaneca.gov plus meetings. The information is also installed on the balance information page on our website. Then the meeting of the Regulatory Council on September 17, next Thursday. Saya hanya ingin memberitahu semua orang bahwa kami mengantisipasi mereka akan mempertimbangkan biaya dampak untuk pembangunan baru yang saat ini belum dimiliki kota. Ini adalah upaya bertahun-tahun untuk melakukan studi yang diperlukan dan menyediakan dasar hukum, serta telah dipertimbangkan Dewan sejak lama. Jadi sekadar promosi untuk acara Kamis depan itu juga, itu saja dari staff malam ini.

13:33Speaker 3

Is there an agenda suggested by the Commissioner? Because there is not, then we are expected to be postponed until the next meeting is held on September 24, 2020.
