Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

sideways. Right. Good evening everyone. Great. Look at the massive amount of audience here. They're here here tonight. I am so happy to see so many happy faces in the audience. Um, all right. Can we go ahead and do a roll call or call the order? And our Baron. here. Commissioner Rana here. Vice Chair Walton here. Chair Woodson here. Commissioner St. John here. Commissioner Jacobson here. You have Cor. Thank you.

Stand and we'll do the pledge of allegiance in the moment of silence. Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Okay. Next up today we have special announcements or communications from the floor. we have anybody online today that would like to speak on an agenda on something that is not in our consent agenda today?

Uh no one no one has raised their hand.

Okay. And obviously we don't have any comments from the floor here except from the ghosts. So moving on next we have expart communications for quasi judicial matters. Open it up to the council commission. Do we have any items that we want to identify pertain to tonight? Okay, nothing there. Moving on, the consent agenda. The first thing we have uh is approval of the minutes from last week. Um so we get into that. Thank you very much uh Vice Chair Walton for sharing last week's last month's meeting since I couldn't be here. I appreciate you doing that and everybody being nice to her. So, I heard she is she is nice, much nicer than I am. So, um any comments about the minutes from last month?

Okay. And we go through. Commissioner Baron, Commissioner Rana, yes. Vice Chair Walton, yes. Chair Woodson, yes. Commissioner St. John, yes. Commissioner Jacobson, yes. Motion passes. Great. Thanks. All right. Uh, next up, we only have one item on the agenda tonight for public hearings. That is the design review, per review for uh, the changes at Sanctuary Beach Resort at 3295 Dunes. And I guess Allison, you are presenting tonight.

I sure am. Um, there you got borders. All right. Okay. No problem. Right.

Thank you. Nice to see everybody. It's been a while since I've been here at the planning commission. I'm Allison Hunter. I am the planning services manager for the city of Marina and the assigned planner for this project. This is a design review for the Sanctuary Beach Resort at 3295 Dunes Drive. Next slide, please. Um, this project consists of a variety of landscaping, hardscaping, signage, lighting improvements to two already established areas within the Sanctuary Beach Resort. Um, these are the Sunbull area and the lodge patio area. Uh the lodge patio is receiving a substantial remodel and update to landscaping, lighting, surfacing, and the addition of a new large pergola. This also includes like some gas fire pits, kind of some uh spaced out seating areas, things like that. And then the Sunbull area also was established during the original construction of the resort in the late 1990s, but it was never actually built out to support guest amenities and things. So, they're just now doing that. Uh there will be pedestrian level lighting and new directional and monument signs proposed. Uh just a note, this project does not uh propose any removal of any existing trees. So this site does have an interesting background. Uh the property is located in the coastal zone on the west side of Dunes Drive. So it is the only privatelyowned property on like basically on the Dunes side of the city of Marina. Uh the

resort was originally approved by the city of Marina in 1996 through the issuance of a coastal permit along with a variety of other types of permits um and the uh certification of an EIR environmental impact report. The city's approval was appealed to the coastal commission at the time and the coastal commission later approved the project but at a much smaller scale and that's what actually ended up getting built as a result of the coastal commission's permit approval. The coastal commission has retained all future element permit authority over the property but the city retains non CDP authority. So, anytime there's design review required or if there was a conditional use permit required or any other non-coastal type of entitlement, the city would still do that, but any coastal development permits get handled through the state. Uh, the two gathering spaces that we're talking about again were created as part of the original coastal commission approval. Um the next process for the applicant will be once they receive the local permit approval for this design review then they will apply for the coastal development permit through the coastal commission. So here's just a a highlight of the improvements to the lodge patio area. Um new concrete paving this they are proposing a 27% increase in area. Um all of this is subject to grading permits, storm water plans, etc. So there's they're proposing an increase in pvious area, but uh they will have to show through additional permitting that the storm water can be addressed appropriately.

Uh they're proposing a new approximately 600 square foot and 10 foot tall pergola. You can see in that picture there, it's kind of the black hatched area just to the west of the building. Um, and it will have hanging lights and other amenities. New landscaping, fire pit, fire pits, seating areas, and perimeter landscaping are included in this area. Uh they will be replacing the existing grass with artificial turf and uh some new decomposed granite or DG granite surface feeding areas and then a variety of pedestrian scale lighting in this area. And then in the Sunbull. Uh so the Sunbull as you see in your site plans that you have as part of your packet has remained just completely empty. It's just like a sand sandy area right now. So they're looking to build that out to the extent that was already considered in previous permitting. Um but significant landscaping here including nine new trees and then um some significant dune native dune plantings that will occur in that darker hatched areas. Uh the plant pallet includes California natives and drought tolerant species as required by the city of Marina. um uh installation of a variety of pedestrian paths in this area of DG concrete and flag stone materials, seating areas with gas fire pits, and then downshielded pedestrian path lights throughout this little area as well. Uh signage is very comprehensive. You've

seen lots of signs. They're proposing mostly of Corten steel or aluminum material painted to look like C10 steel. Um, but they're proposing 25 of these little accessory signs. Um, basically those are going to be dotted around the perimeter of the site to keep people out of the natural dune areas. Um, so 25 of those. Those are 1 ft 6 in and the code as described in your staff report the code allows one by one. So if the commission deems appropriate to have one foot 6 in by 1 ft 6 in that's that's part of your uh approval package. Uh also 32 directional and public service signs that will be illuminated. um those little accessory signs are not illuminated, but these larger uh an example there is shown in that vertical sign in the middle of the screen. So 32 of those that will be illuminated. Their lighting plan shows that all of their lighting types are um 2700 Kelvin, which is below the city's standard of 3,000 Kelvin. So, these will be warm temperature lights on dimmable uh lighting fixtures and then uh their big monument sign out there at the front. Um go ahead. So just in summary, uh the proposed landscaping, signage, lighting, and general guest experience improvements are customary to the resort use and were comp uh contemplated during the certification of the EIR. The current project qualifies for also the three squa exemptions. So, not only is it

consistent with the original EIR, but these proposed uses also have their own um SQA exemptions which are listed there in your proposed uh or recommended action. Um because the proposed improvements are located within the existing de developed resort grounds, the project does not result in an increase in the density or intensity of use or impact. nor would it impact sensitive ESHA or environmentally sensitive habitat areas, but rather reflect a timely upgrade and enhancements to the existing facility. So, that concludes my staff report. I'm open to any questions. We did provide our recommended motion there that if upon deliberation somebody would like to make that motion, it's there for you. Also, uh I believe the architect is on the call. Uh, Miss Julia, if she is she on there?

It just says Zoom. Just says Zoom user. I don't know if that's her. Can you allow her to talk? Maybe Zoom user. Are you Julia Oberof, agent for this project? No, she has not. Uh, okay. Yeah. Um maybe she'll be joining in a little bit, but for now if anybody has any questions, I would be happy to answer them or at least attempt and we'll see if Julia joins our meeting. Let me see if she tried to email. Do

you have your phone? I think that's my only question that I think I the only question I have is on adding the nine trees and I know we are going to 15 gallon ones which will help spur growth especially in this area along the coast is going back to the maintenance plan on that and what they're not going to want them to die but at the same time knowing that we get an offshore breeze in the in the days it seems like even a 15 gallon that's going to take that has a high potential for failure. Do you recall what sheet? Uh it looks like L21. No, that's grading.

What? Um I just want to see if the tree the tree locations. Let's see. Uh looking at sheet L4.1, the tree locations are along the eastern side of the sunbowl and perhaps a little bit uh protected from that breeze a little bit rather than being like right on the front of the dune. But if it is hard, I mean the sunb belt is a I mean I know where the the sun belt is one that they they've had undeveloped planters and and burn boxes um burn pits there before

or fire pits. I'm totally thinking explosive right now. Different subject completely. Um fire pits down at that area. So I'm assuming it's it's more on the the weward side than the winter side anyway. Um, and that that's what will help do it. I'm just again that's just it. Mine is just knowing that that it will take a while is this whatever the selection is that they actually are not just picking the right pallet that's good for the main city, but a pallet that's good for that specific area. I think that's my only concern on that.

Um, we'll just go left to right. Commissioner Jacobson. I uh I actually don't have a question. I wish the architect was on here though because um as I reviewed this um I was pretty impressed with the way the signage and the way they laid things out was very consistent with the dunes.

I mean the the color palette just kind of blended in and the only thing that was a little odd was the size of those directional signs, those big ones. But I don't think it's going to interfere with anything. But I I was impressed with that. So I just wanted to say that. Okay. Um Commissioner Walton or you didn't turn yours off.

Now you're up. Oh, he he lost his chance. So mine is um with respect to the conditions of approval and and I do like that I don't really want to change anything but perhaps with respect to uh 12 and 13. I don't I don't know if these I guess I should start with a question. Are are the conditions listed um by number with respect to important? No.

Okay. Can we bring 12 and 13 up closer to the top? Is I mean just with respect to uh culture and um what what is the word I'm trying to say? It seems like it it while there is no importance on how these are um listed, it it prioritywise um I would like to see them closer to the top and just a reorganization of of of them. They come closer to the top.

If if that's the pleasure of the whole commission, I'd be happy to reorder those. I'm fine. I'm fine with that. fine with that? Yeah, that's fine. Okay. Okay. So, now I will I'll go back to you just a little bit. Uh Commissioner St. John, were there any new buildings in part of this? No, just the landscaping inside. Correct. The arbor or pergola is technically a structure under the building code but not a building. Right. That I'm sure clarifies everything for you.

Okay. Uh have have they experienced in the last goodness 30 years any parking issues? Uh, not that's been not that's been reported to the city that I know of. Okay. Right. I'm fine with everything. Uh, Commissioner Rana, everybody wants to speak today.

Yeah. Thank you, sir. I have a couple questions. Uh what are the likely concerns the coastal commission can have on this this project because they all have raised earlier some concerns and the project was reduced in its scope. Mhm. Yeah. They there have actually been over the years since this project was originally approved by the coastal commission, there have been some very minor modifications that coastal commission has approved through coastal development, either a full coastal development permit or coastal development permit waiverss, which they have the authority to do um for this particular landscaping and and kind of amenities. Um, basically what they're looking at is if the project is going to have an intensification or densification of use. That's when they start really digging in. That's why on my last slide I kind of commented on those two things that this is uh landscaping and cosmetic modifications that were considered and already contemplated like it through the be through the earlier project. So I doubt that this is going to raise any big red flags with the coastal commission. um coastal commission is really more concerned with new development that's going to have potential impacts to coastal resources, coastal access, those kind of things. Okay. And the second question is that uh some time ago we discussed uh the impact of sea rise in this area.

Yeah. So is any of uh these uh this project likely to be affected according to that report that we discussed? Yes, the the Sunbull area I I don't remember the time frame off the top of my head, but the Sunbull area I believe is within the I I don't perhaps 100year uh sea level rise threshold. I don't know. I can't remember for sure which threshold it is. Um, but because this is landscaping, it's not structure or buildings for habitation, this is not going to rise to the level of concern in that regard. If if they were proposing new units, that would be a problem for sure. And one more that uh this area is available to the general public for access.

Mhm. Is this project going to impact accessibility to the normal beachgoers?

No. The these areas are I the the Sunbull specifically is delineated away. It's delineated apart from the public access path that's signed and you know there's I don't for whoever's been out there you can the public has access through a little nice little split rail fence path to the actual wave slope to the public beach. So the Sunbull area is separated for that. Um it's not intended to be public access to the coast. it's intended to be used by the guests at the resort. Um, so it it it's separated and delineated as a different area.

Okay. Thank you.

Any other comments? Just one followup. Okay. Did they what what is the resort currently called? Is it

there? This is a little bit of a complicated situation. There is sanctuary beach resort which is a hotel. Within that there's the worldmark timeshare development. So there are two different entities. The worldmark timeshare is not a part of this project at all. Totally separate. They're not participating. They don't own the grounds. So everything that's proposed as part of this project is purely the Sanctuary Beach Resort property. Originally back in 1996 or so, did it go under a different name?

Yes. Yes. I believe it it was called King Kings Resort or um yeah something like that. Okay. But the Sanctuary Beach Resort is the current name for the last many years. Yes. Okay. Thanks

Mr. Ron. Yes. So uh one of my questions I asked about the C see rise impact. So the plan is to build certain structures to kind of reinforce the area. I hope this project does not interfere in any of those plans. Are you referring to like the little border retaining walls and things around the Sunbull area or what specifically?

No. to kind of uh take some mitigation uh measures against the sea rise. The there was there were some plans suggested to reinforce the area so that water does not come up. Oh. So if this development is going to interfere in those plans, that's a concern. No. And there are no plans for this property to have any kind of shoreline protection. In fact, that's forbidden as part of the original coastal development permit. They're they're not allowed to ever have shoreline protection on this property. Thank you.

I'm not aware of any coastal protection uh for the city of Marina. Anything planned? I thought there is nothing planned. And I don't want to get too far off topic on this very large thing we could talk about for a long time, but there's nothing planned for the city of Marina at this time. So the landscaping and signage and stuff will have no effect on the no

anything that'll happen. No, the the requirements this development agreed to um retreat managed retreat of their oceanfront buildings rather than uh construct any kind of hard armoring shoreline protective devices. Um, Commissioner Brown, you have a comment?

This is not really about this specific project, but just in general, is anybody talked about what might be the effect of the the impact of the development of this huge capsite um cross from imaging. That's not well number one. not part of the can we keep well we could come back to that that's not in the city of Marina number one it's it's part of the state property it's not part of city marina so it doesn't cover us number two it's not part of this this conversation so we could probably discuss it separately offline and just information flow yeah but I would like to keep us out of this

okay uh yeah I don't have any other questions I So my only one coming back to the comment on the five foot the one by five foot commissioner Jacobson like it's just a navigation line it's like a tall yeah I they're tall

five feet tall. Um, I think my only one and kind of coming back to that though is given that this is Corton 14 steel that they're using and the process of 14 steel. I think the only thing I and again I think it it for demonstration of the permit I'm guessing it may not be the exact way that rust assuming they're using type A it'll rust to kind of a purplish color when it's all done. That's the typical Yeah, I'm I do software during the day and I know how steel what color steel rusts to at night kind of. But anyway, I mean the whole concept of the quarine steel is that when it the rust actually pro creates the protective barrier and the reason they're you using the quarine steel in a marine environment is literally because it's going to rust anyway and that rust actually is going to be prod productive instead of putting a wood or something else that would have a high maintenance cost. So, I completely understand why they're doing it. The thing that I did when I looked at the the signage itself was they had it looks like they were going to have some type of directional kind of background of this area. So, it's hard to tell because the the um like so I mean in the packet on page 10 they've kind of the warning signs and but then above it they've got all this text that this is what the habit the habitat is

right here. And my only one is I think that's really a great idea, but when it comes to font and text and how that's presented, I would again it's not my property and I don't think it necessarily is germanine to whether we approve this or not, but just kind of the comment that if they're going to promote that then making sure that as it it rusts and and predicts that coding that it'll still be legible over time. Okay. because I'm not sure that the color palette that they've chosen is actually a really good one for the color the patina that it's going to end up taking. So, I think again it's not that staff can have that conversation with them.

Yeah. I mean, it took when I first looked at I didn't even see the writing until I happened to be on my computer and I zoomed in. It's like, "Oh, wait. There's writing here." And I looked at it. So, um All right. Does if there's no other issues with something like to make a motion. I saw a motion. Sorry. Have you gone to public comment yet? Oh, yeah. Oh, that's right. We actually we do have one member of public again. You didn't mention that. I asked before I was Okay, so we have public. We'll open up for public comment.

There's nobody in the audience here. And there is somebody online. Cath I guess now that I can see this Kathy wasn't there before. Kathy comm or Kathy Bial, would you like to make a a statement?

Yes. Uh, it's it's a question. It's a quick one. Um, because we are discussing signage. Um, and I know that on uh our beaches, there's only a very uh small area that includes the sanctuary and also the regional park district where they do allow dogs on leash. And it's always been uh an issue because um there's really not very clear uh uh indications where somebody now needs to have no dogs on the beach like our Marina State Beach. So, um I couldn't really tell from the signage. I I didn't look at it so closely, but are there any signs dedicated to uh sort of the education of why why dogs on leash is important, but also that it shouldn't be extending beyond um the boundaries to the other areas that have absolutely no dogs allowed?

There are no such signs as part of this package about dogs on leashes. Uh this is a complicated uh situation as both of the adjoining property public property owners have no dogs allowed.

Um so this is a you know a tenuous situation where there is a private property between two resource agencies public properties um sharing a portion of the beach. So the this particular property boundary um at the mean high tide roughly you can have dogs I believe off leash even if you can control them within this this private property. However, we know that dogs run around. So as soon as they go below the mean high tide onto the wave slope, then it becomes the situation where there are supposed to be no dogs. District to the north and the Marina State Beach to the south have their own signs of no dogs allowed or dogs on leashes depending on snowy clover season. Um so that that has been an ongoing thing. I've received a few calls not about this project but about this property over the last couple years and I've actually referred people to the coastal commission uh because that is directly a coastal access issue. Um, so that would be something for the coastal commission to take up when they're considering the coastal development permit or waiver for this project is to have uh those protective signs at the wave slope where this property ends and goes into like state lands commission jurisdiction. Um uh so that you're saying that there's a parallel um the parallel to the ocean restriction or nonrestriction but I was talking about the not the parallel but the perpendicular restrictions because

if you take Marina State beach and there's a there is a sign that's not very well v visible but it says you know you cannot this is the uh the point where there is no dogs allowed but it seems that Um the sanctuary should take some responsibility for um for notifying um you know that there are some um restrictions to dogs on on the contin contiguous beach front. If if it is the um desire of the whole commission, we could add a little subsection to the conditions of approval. specifically um number four where it really t this is about landscaping, but we could add one in there that asks the developer to uh include a certain number of their little accessories signs, their 25 little accessories signs and maybe like two or three or four, whatever the commission desires could be used for like dogs on leash or some type of dog limitation

phrasing. No dogs beyond this point. Yes. Something along those lines. Yeah. I I don't know how you figured out how many other than where there's a path, there should be a sign. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. So, it it's a little bit it's a little complicated in this setting obviously. you know, there are like multiple jurisdictions right here in this tiny little place. But, um, there I would recommend that the commission require the developer to put several signs just generally fronting that beach edge. Um because not you don't only want it for the public access part path because the private guests of the hotel may have dogs and they have access all over the place. So, you know, you you I would recommend that if you were to add this condition, you'd kind of put them like if you look at your plan set. Um, actually, if you pull up if you pull up page seven of the packet, that's that's got a really good overview slide of where you could look at it. Nearly the same thing.

Yeah. Uh it's the just the aerial I mean that that slide works fine actually if you slide it over so you can see the left part of this screen. Yeah. So you can see the property line there that goes north south roughly. Um guests of the resort can access the beach between all those little bungalows anywhere along there. Oh,

so there should that's that's not fenced. There's there isn't a barrier there, but the public can only access that little windy dotted line path. So, um I think what council member Biala maybe is talking about is is putting a few signs along that whole frontage so it's very clear to public and paying guests that there are dog limitations. Yes. And for the reasons of uh protecting an a threatened species. And that may be asking too much, but it it really is about that. Um is that we're trying to um protect the western night lovers. So, I'm supportive of of adding that and making a percentage of the signs to support that and trying to figure out how I I I Can you go back to that for a minute, please?

Sure. Approximately how many [Music] uh one sign every 20 or 30 feet? Let's see. There's actually a survey sheet in your packet. So that would have

actually I'm thinking of it I'm looking at it from a different perspective that we have there are there are two groups of there are two groups of people that would be using this. Well, three. We have the residents in buildings 612 southward down to 603, 60 um 602, 601. Um that entire section that basically have beach access. That's group number one. So, they have direct access. Then we have the remainder of the guests that are in the 700 um series buildings that are on the interior that are going to be walking down. They could walk through the center between two buildings, but they'll probably walk over to the path and then down. And then we have the general public that could come either east or west along the path. And so the first part of it, if we start with with the easy one, group three, which is the public that could be entering from the beach or from the parking lot to access the beach, then that's that's putting a sign at either end of the path. So that would be two signs, one at each side. basically saying here, this is where you're at. Um, for the interior side, I think you're addressed with the concept of, okay, the sign, the same signs would work for group two, the interior residents or guests that would work for the public, which then leaves group one, which are all the guests who live in property that can specifically walk down and access the beach. And in that respect, I'm not as confident that putting one sign every 50 feet or 100 feet necessarily would have the effect. Actually, mine would be could we and I this is where public property versus the internal property of

a building really. Could it be a sign that they put by their rear deck that basically there's a sign that goes on each of the buildings that's not necessarily an accessory sign, but it could just be a sign that that is a smaller one that's this big that literally goes on the property just reminding hey guests you have to do this that go just on that series the 600 612 611 610 609 all those that that front the dunes themselves. I don't know if that that's because now we are crossing into kind of a knowledge an a different way of presenting it. But I think that's a that would give a better we probably have higher compliance with that than if we just put three we just said, "Oh yeah, we're just going to put signs every 75 ft on the beachfront." I mean, what's going to happen is people are going to ignore those signs. It's one thing when they see sensitive habitat. It's another thing when they see those, they'll just ignore it because they already have a dog there. May

maybe it's not a signage issue at all. Is it a new requirement? No dogs in the beach. No, it's been around years. So, and and what what I'm suggesting is is that, you know, within within their little book that's in every room, there's rules and regulations in there. And could we ask them just to add in lie of in lie of a a rule in there? In li of adding accessory signs along the the edge there. We could still I still think we require the signs along the the pathway. Yes. The public,

but to the to the rooms that access the beach. I mean, I agree with you. I I think it I think individualized attention is going to have a higher compliance rate than just putting a sign that's just rent remotely out there. But again, I think we're crossing out of the bounds of what we necessarily can control.

Yeah, we're I don't really see a nexus between this permit application and educational in room things. Um but I do definitely see a nexus of put, you know, assigning however many of those little signs that they're already planning on doing about sensitive habitat to be dedicated to dog. Yeah, I mean to me I say 20 I would just say 20%. 25 well there's 25 so 25% of which a minimum of two of that 25% need to go on the at both ends of the pathway. So that would be the condition I have. And I think maybe from a staff side of it is just talk to them about yeah what we're we don't I just don't think I I don't think adding the accessory signs

across in along the beach side of it is really going to be I just don't think it's beneficial. I would rather have I'd rather have just people people notice sensitive habitat signs because they're so used to seeing them out around different places. So they're more likely to to see a sensitive habitat and not cross into that sensitive habitat. I'm not sure if that same would hold true for don't bring your dog. Um, not that it's not important. I just am thinking of compliance of what's the most effective use of our signs. Um, so again, I don't think we we don't have control over that. To your to the point of it's not a nexus, it's not there. It's not part of the permit. I don't think we we don't we can't make it a condition. But just from a staff side, say this, it's part of our discussion. This was kind of our thought process and we didn't why we did and kind of our context of why we didn't want to demand or put a condition to add signs along that perimeter area line necessarily because we just we think that's you get it my point.

So just so I'm clear the commission is not specifying dog signs. No, two dog. We 25% 25% of the 25. Okay. 25% just making my recommendation is 25% of which two of them are at each end of the windy pathway. One by one by the road and one by the beach side. Okay. Which would leave them three to place wherever they think is best. And to add to that, just so we're very clear on what the signs should say, could we say that they're using like state parks signage language or something like that? Just so it's very clear.

Yes. Thank you. And that actually would be good because it would match what the state park is a quarter of a mile away, right? Okay. Is that thoughts on that? Okay. Thanks Seth for bringing that up and thanks uh Kathy for raising that issue. That's something that So are we closing closing public comment?

Um I guess Kathy you have something else. You are the only one. Some kind of changed their No, thank you very much, Commissioner. Sure. Uh, yes. Zoom Zoom user is not We determined Zoom user is not a member of the public here to comment. Um, we we asked that person to comment. They did not choose to unmute themselves. So, does that work that close? Public comment. So, Yep. Okay. gonna keep me honest. Okay. Um All right. So, now we've done public comment, we've done local comment, we've done online, we've made a change to the we've made one change on the condition.

Y and like I I make a motion does not work. So, now we'll go back to somebody. Would Commissioner Jacobson, would you like to make the motion again, the full motion with the change in condition?

I I would love to do that. I move to adopt resolution 2025-11 approving a design review permit file number SAD25-00006 for signage and landscaping improvements within the sanctuary beach report a resort complex located at 3295 Dunes Drive subject to findings conditions of approval and SQA exemptions s 15301H and 15303E and 15311A pertaining to landscape maintenance, accessory structures and on-site signs respectively. In addition, uh adding a uh condition that pertains to um the the uh access of dogs beyond the property to the beach area, which which is 20 which was we 25% of the signs. One of which is at the end of the public path, one of which is at the beginning of the public path, and the other three are at their discretion.

I second. Does that all make So we have a second from Commissioner Walton. Go ahead and take a vote. Commissioner Baron, Commissioner Rana, yes. Vice Chair Walton, yes. Chair Woodson, yes. Commissioner St. John, yes. Commissioner Jacobson, yes. Motion passes. Thanks. Yes, it was Commissioner Walton. Was a second. Okay. Uh, next up on the agenda tonight isformational items, which it does not look like we have any. Uh, then staff and major project updates. Um

uh not this none at this time. If you go to the packet, you'll see that we just have a series of announcements. Uh I know I'm so looking at the agenda right now. Um so would you like to run through the announcements?

Yeah, that's So we did have the multi I put it in the packet even though the meeting was after the fact. We did have a multicultural festival at Vince Deaggio. CDD staff were there. Uh Brian and Zach, our intern seemed like a really great turnout. Uh we do have the city's 50th anniversary going to be on Vista Del Camino. They're going to block off the road. Whole bunch of booths and local businesses. So go out on October 18th from 12 to 4. And just a reminder, uh we are partnering with the VTC, my department, uh for the Veterans Day event at the Veterans Transition Center as part of our housing element implementation. One of our action items is to do an annual um veterans type event where we uh not just have a party to honor veterans, but we're going to have wraparound services. Uh legal services will be there. uh people from the food bank uh uh referrals for dental and haircut and how to get your VA benefits and so um yeah so this will be an annual thing that I'll be organizing and so definitely look forward to having the commission there. So

yeah, actually I'll add to that that the that we're changing we're going to do a flyer as part of that marketing to support a food drive to support the commissary. The so there's a separate commissary that the VTC runs for two groups. One for veterans who are trying to get back on their feet and just learning how to shop because they don't necessarily know they've lost that skill set. And then the second one is they also once a week open up um the commissary to local um families, veteran families basically have active duty service members who are stationed here who are below the very low income level and need the support and assistance. So that's a separate thing that's going to be doing as part of it. So, um, so if you have if you come out to the event, bring a food item to donate to the food drive.

Yeah. You know, I just thought of something else that's not on there. They're having an open house at the Veterans Transition, that new apartment complex that we visited several months ago. Yes. Yes, that uh I don't have the exact date, but yes, I I did see that. So, okay. Thanks for adding those. I think that's a nice thing to constantly if we can do that down the road on these things in the future, I think it's a good thing to promote across the city. Um because some people most people will go to the city council page and look at at those things, but ours is shorter and if they come here, we should be promoting the other things that are going on. Absolutely. We we can certainly do that. That's fine. Uh

okay. Next up is correspondence. Do we have anything? There's none. We have no correspondence. Let's see what else am I missing. I think that was it. It's no like correspondence. Yeah, after correspondence is 11, which is adjournment, but it says it's at 7:39. So, technically, we have to sit here for 17 more minutes. No, we don't. And wait, because Guido put in 7:39 p.m. in the agenda. Where where are you? In the in the actual packet that is online, right? the PDF file on the literally it says adjournment 7:39 p.m.

Oh, that Yeah, they probably carried over from the minute. So, yeah. Yeah. No, we can go home whenever you want. So So that's fine. Um I can go ahead and join the meeting.
