On September 1, 2026, can we interview Secretary Devaayi Hajar? Yes, that's right.
Oh, I'm sorry. Commissioner Vandermilen is here. Commissioner Edel is here. Vice-Chair Murphy is here. Chair Davidson is here. Commissioner Leon Hajar is not here.
Okay, thank you. Now, I request all of you to stand up and stand up for the truth. Commissioner Edsel will lead this. Put your hands on your chest. I bow to the republic that stands with the authority of the United States of America. A nation that does not want to be deprived of freedom and justice under God. Very good. The next item in the agenda is the consent calendar. Do the commissioners have any questions or opinions? Yes, Chairman. In the earlier architectural review committee, we examined the general art form of item B. Yes, I think it would be good to display that. Yes, that's it. We accepted it in the architectural committee. Okay. Did you mean to change it to a special item or just to show it off? If you want to change it, that's all. You thought you couldn't see it earlier, right? So, very good. Okay. Thank you. Certainly. Do you have any other opinions from the commissioners? No. I suggest accepting the consent item. I will follow. We have a suggestion and we will follow it. Please conduct the voting.
Commissioner Vandermillen. Yes. Commissioner Edsel.
Yes.
Vice-Chair Murphy.
Yes.
Chair Davidson.
Yes. Okay. The next item in the agenda is public opinion. This is among the things that were not included in today's agenda. Do we have speaker cards next to us?
There are no public opinions. Very good.
Since there are no opinions, we can move on to the next item in the agenda. This is C, that is, CUP447, Camaro Wine and Spirits. Thank you, Chair Davidson. This is presented by Assistant Planner Sean Kuniku. Good evening, Chair Davidson, Planning Commissioners. PEP RESTAURANT CONSULTING requires a Conditional Use Permit to export beer, wine, spirits, etc. to a retail market that is 21st century. Based on the proposed project of Lewis Road and Pleasant Valley Road, the unit of 570 Lewis Road will be operated in B units. This method will be in the state of a newly built multi-tenant multi-tenant building. This building, which has retail facilities in the lower level and accommodation facilities in the upper level, is approved under CUP 369. In this building, 24 rental apartments and about 12,000 square feet of retail space will be built. The development plan in the north is known as Palt Development. It was approved as RPD 196, and 285 townhomes are included in it. This will be the fourth medium-sized shopping mall after Thamasakark in Pettit Street. The village common market in Village Common Boulevard and Woodside Market on Pleasant Valley Road are included in the census track 56.1. Unwanted market drinks will be sold only to be taken out. Spirits will be displayed near or behind the cashier area under the supervision of residents. At the same time, beer and wine will be kept in safe coolers and shelves in the store. Drinks will not be displayed outside or on the floor. About 40% of the shops will be full of drinks. 7 days a week, from 7 am to 11 pm, the market is planned to operate. The Kamaro Police Department has also reviewed the security, lighting, and life-saving facilities. In this, the security inspection method, video inspection of major clouds, mid-lighting, 10 feet radius of the entrance gate, In the parking area, there are some measures to prevent traffic jams. If the ABC rules are in place, there are no restrictions for the police department. Before the mid-term sales start, it is necessary to ensure that all ABC candidates who are required by the operator meet and complete the mid-term sales test, which is responsible for the acceptance of ABC by the residents. I would like to point out that the places for mid-term sales have been limited to blue lines, yellow lines and orange lines. There is no need for funding for this place for general convenience. Four off-sale licenses are approved by ABC. There are three licenses in census tract 56.1. The CP-447 SQA has been granted permission to issue a notice and the CP-447 permit has been passed to the Planning Commission. This concludes my presentation. Thank you. Very good. Do you have any questions or opinions on this matter? We can start from here. I have a small question.
Is the middle part of the store full of shelves or not? Or is there any other food or drinks there? I can ask the visitor here. Okay. Thank you. That's my main question.
Is the middle part of other stores in this census tract about 40%? Is it normal in such markets? Yes, the availability rate is below 50%. Normally, it is below 49%. That is, it is usually below. That's all. Yes. Thank you. When the investor comes forward, I have a few questions to ask the staff. One minute, sir. Thank you. I appreciate it. How many other retail places are there in this consumer development? I think it's a trap. So, there are 3 suites called A, B and C in the price range of 570. Then, there are 3 suites on 580 Lewis Road in the other 2 suites. Then, there are 3 units to represent Pleasant Valley. But in this, we combine A and B units for this market. Okay, good. Have there been any other requests for other retail places? Not now. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, sir. If you could come forward, can you repeat the question about that big, empty place in the middle?
Thank you for coming tonight, everyone.
My name is Ted Menno. I represent Mr. Samy. The hidden place seen there as a basement will be hidden as a museum. There are some more retail lagoons, shelves to keep chips, etc. in the area, but now it is hidden for general use.
Okay. Do you think there should be more food there? Yes.
That's why that place is there. Okay. Try to imagine that. Do you know that we, Kittanam, will submit to the Health Department and the Health Department. They would like to know where the food will be because it is a health issue. So, there is a possibility of making display shelves for food and chips there.
Okay. Also, when that area grows, it allows changes to the needs of the residents.
Sheri ana. Sheri ana. Sheri. Nanni. Sir. Ningalode samayathinu nanni. Right. No. Are there more questions? No. Right. Very good. Since we don't have any other questions, we are now opening a general hearing. Do you have anything to say to the public about the things that we have all agreed upon and agreed upon? There are no comments from the public. Very good.
Since we don't hear anything, we are ending the general hearing.
The discussion has now been opened to the commissioners. Do you have any questions or comments before we make a decision?
I don't have any more questions.
I don't have anything else. I don't have anything else either. Okay. Very good. I am sending a request. I am suggesting that we accept this matter or make it a decision. I am insisting. Very good. Can we vote?
Commissioner Vanderma. Yes. Commissioner Edel.
Yes.
Vice-Chair Murphy. Yes. Chair Davidson.
Yes. Very good. The request has been passed. Okay. Next in the agenda is our director's report.
Good evening, Chair Davidson, Commission members. I would like to point out a few things. I hope that you will all participate in our Forest Planning Commission Tour. I have received approval from some of you. We will also do it on 15th September. This is an opportunity to see some of the great projects that our staff have worked on and that you have seen. There is nothing more to add to this, but Mike Farris, from the Thousand Oaks Planning Commission, gave a copy of Local Democracy in America. I would like to make sure that it is included in the reg. I will not give more details about it. At the end, on August 12, we announced the general plan and the timeline of the CET Council. You saw that two weeks ago. The CET Council agreed to the timeline and agreed to the general plan guidelines. I received good responses and encouragement from the youth in the city to get in touch with more. Because they will be our users and partners in the future. We are planning to introduce new opportunities for public participation. We hope to share the information with you and receive more feedback from the community. We intend to test more practical and visual ways of speaking Planner language. That's all. That's all I have to say for today. Thank you very much. Thank you. Okay.
Next, the comments from the commissioners. Let's start from my right side. There is nothing more. We can go to the other side. There is nothing more. There is nothing more.
Very good.
I don't have anything to say. Since the commissioners did not get any feedback, do you have any comments to add at the end? No. Thank you. Okay. The meeting is over.
