The next segment on tonight's briefing notes are the routine action items consisting of items four through 11, with the first item being item number four, TM- Can I have you hold one second?

I just wanted to state that Commissioner Roitman just arrived and Commissioner Frazier is on the telephone. Thank you, proceed.

Thank you, Madam Vice Chair. Item number four, TM26-500,087, is a tentative map consisting of a walnut commercial subdivision and a commercial neighborhood zone. The tentative map is necessary to facilitate future commercial development of the site. The Enterprise Town Advisory Board and staff both recommend approval. Item number five, UC260303, was a use permit for a proposed recreational entertainment facility, which the applicant's representative is requesting to hold to the August 4th, 2026 Planning Commission meeting. Item six, UC 260309, are use permits for the following, one, a vocational or vocational training facility, and two, a recreational or entertainment facility within an industrial light and industrial park. zone the evocational or vocational training facility and the recreation and entertainment facility consists of stunts tumbling activities jumping and stretching activities so it'll serve both as a training facility and an entertainment or recreational facility to essentially host gymnastic events enterprise town advisory board and staff recommend approval Staff did not receive any cards in support or protest for that item. Item seven is UC260310 with the use permit to permit an indoor kennel within an existing shopping center within a commercial general zone. The Enterprise Town Advisory Board and staff recommend approval, with staff receiving four cards in support and 11 cards in protest. Item 8, UC 260324, is a use permit for a communication tower, along with a corresponding design review. The communication tower consists of not only the tower, but the associated control enclosure building, and other accessory structures on a portion of 520 acres in an IH and IP zone. There is no town advisory board in this area and staff has received three cards in support of the proposal. Item number nine, UC26330 is a use permit to allow personal services, Pilates within an existing office building and a commercial professional zone. The Spring Valley Town Advisory Board and planning staff both recommend approval. Staff received four cards in support and eight cards in protest. Item 10 is WS260317, waiver development standards increase retaining wall height in conjunction with an existing single family residence in an RS20 zoning district. The subject property contains a gentle slope in the rear yard, necessitating an increase to the height of the retaining wall up to a maximum of eight feet. Planning staff and the Sunrise Manor Town Advisory Board both recommend approval. Staff received two cards in support and no cards in protest. Item number 11, WS260328 is a waiver development standards to reduce and eliminate buffering and screening in conjunction with a design review for a gas station and convenience store within a commercial general zoning district. Essentially, the waiver of development standards for the buffering and screening occurs adjacent to a freeway. The subject site is at a lower elevation in the freeway, and there is a trail that separates the proposed convenience store and gasoline station from the actual freeway. Having those particular site characteristics in mind, staff finds that the elimination of, or excuse me, to reduce and eliminate the buffering and screening will not, should not have a negative impact on the surrounding area. There was no quorum at the Winchester Town Advisory Board. Staff received one card in support and two cards in protest. With that, Madam Vice Chair, this concludes the briefing for the routine action items on tonight's agenda, and I would be happy to entertain any questions the members of the commission may have.

Commissioners, any questions? Thank you, proceed.

Thank you, Madam Vice Chair. Moving on to the non-routine action items, consisting of items 12 through 22 on tonight's Planning Commission agenda. Item 12, SDR 260312, consists of sign design reviews to, one, increase the area of project entrance signs, and two, increase the height of project entrance signs in conjunction with an existing multifamily development on 13 acres in an RM 32 zoning district. The members of the Spring Valley Town Advisory Board filed that the size and scale of the proposed signs are not in character and incompatible with the area, which essentially follows staff's recommendation. Therefore, the Spring Valley Town Advisory Board recommend denial. In addition to staff recommending denial, staff received one card in support and no cards in protest. Item 13, UC260322, consists of a use permit for small livestock, chickens, along with waivers of development standards to reduce setbacks and reduce building separation for accessory structures in conjunction with an existing single family residence in the RS 5.2 zoning district. More specifically, the use permit is, and Commissioner Kolarski gave me an update prior to the evening, is to have 12 chickens. It used to be for 13 chickens and one rooster. And we have the waiver to reduce the setbacks for the corresponding accessory structures. More specifically as it pertains to the use permit, In the RS 5.2 zoning district, small livestock must be on a lot consisting of a minimum of 10,000 square feet, where this subject property measures 7,405 square feet in area. In addition to the RS 5.2 zoning district, allowing up to a maximum of 10 small livestock permissible on the subject property, with the exception of not to exceed five roosters per breed. There's an active code enforcement violation on the subject property, CE25, 14,100 for outdoor storage and agricultural animals consisting of the chickens. Sunrise Manor and staff both recommend denial. Staff has received one card in support, nine cards in protest. The applicant indicated that the rooster is now deceased, and he did receive a letter of support, or excuse me, he just received a verbal support from his neighbor. The town advisory board was concerned with the impact the chickens may have on such a small lot, and recommended that the property owner try to reach out to the adjacent property owners and acquire letters of support from his neighbors. Item 14, WS260307, a waiver of development standards to reduce setbacks for a proposed accessory building. which is a detached garage in conjunction with an existing single-family residence in an RS-20 zone.

Item 15, WS260323, a waiver of development standards to increase fence height and to allow a non-decorative wall in conjunction with an existing single-family residence in an RS-20 zone. There's an active code enforcement violation, CE-22-5285, for building without a permit and increased wall height. The Paradise Town Advisory Board recommended approval while staff recommended denial. Staff received four cards in support and one card in protest. Item 16, WS260311 is a waiver development standards for parking area design standards with a design review for site and building modifications to accommodate a drive-through feature for an existing cannabis establishment in a commercial general zone. The Paradise Town Advisory Board recommended approval where staff recommends denial. Staff did not receive any cards in support with one card in protest. As indicated earlier in your briefing, items 17 through 22 are companion items with the applicant's request to hold to the August 18th, 2026 Planning Commission meeting. This concludes the non-routine action briefing of tonight's agenda, and I would be happy to entertain any questions the members of the commission may have.

It would be, pardon me please, Madam Vice Chair, would be item number two to discuss new or, disregard, I'm sorry. Mr. Oswing, as indicated, is item number two, discuss new or upcoming ordinances.

No, ma'am, we do not have any new or upcoming ordinances to discuss this evening.

Okay, thank you. Any administrative items that need to be discussed? Yes, ma'am.

I just wanted to follow up from last meeting that Jason did collect the votes and he was officially ratified as Director of Conference of Planning today.

Congratulations. I guess I do have a question, item number 13. So is the rooster dead or alive?

The subject property owner, the applicant, has indicated that the rooster is now deceased since the justification letter was written.

Okay. Okay, thank you. So our next item of business will be public comments, but please keep in mind that we cannot take any action. This is only for information purposes. I see nobody coming down, so I will call the briefing concluded, thank you.
