Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

That was a thorough staff report. Answered any questions I had. Thank you. I'm good. Great.

Commissioner Drew, me ask for a clarification. Okay. Question for clarification. Go for it. So the request for the waiver of quimby fees is off the table, correct?

If you'll entertain a motion, I'll move the resolution to the time and extent.

Kind of in a similar vein, just as the newbie here, I'm trying to think if there are other additional uses that kind of fall into this gap beyond what the Apple Pay has in mind that are not coming to my mind at the moment. Just want to make sure that I'm not missing anything.

Right, I'm just trying to think if there are other particular, the idea of woodworking, cast iron making, it's a very discrete use. I'm just trying

I believe attachment A would be Thank the you.

Okay, back to commission. All right. Commissioner Havel. So in following up on your comments I think Yes, please. This project, my recollection when this came to the commission sometime back was that there was a lot of hand wringing and public interest in its location, traffic, circulation, congestion, access, emergencies, and I think that is probably what resulted resulted in in a master plan that was restrictive to prevent something from happening in the future that would open up the flood gates so to speak.

So what I think we, is incumbent upon us as planning commissioners, is to recognize that when a project comes through the door, it's hard to try it, and there's a lot of public interest in it. What we know that the average Joe walking down the street might not is that yes, there's a master plan being adopted, and yes, we can incorporate things like this into it that requires some sort of discretionary entitlement for projects that maybe need a little bit of extra attention. And we know that that process is thorough and thoughtful and that staff doesn't mess around with it and that they do a go

They're professionals. And I think that it's, again, it's incumbent on us as planning commissioners someday in a project where it's controversial or people are very interested to kinda make that point. Yes, we might be adopting this master plan or development plan or whatnot, but help folks understand their concerns will be addressed through subsequent land use entitlements when the time comes if somebody's seeking. Because I think that's what's happening or to your point I think that's what happens. In this particular instance, yeah, I'm fully in favor of staff's recommendation and support am

Yeah, this is a very challenging site. I'm gonna support the applicant. Because it was a batch plan and the thing was blighted, for lack of a better word, I think it's an excellent use to try and make this property more viable. So, I'm in support of giving them that permission.

Likewise. I think that, well, a lot of the master plan issues seem to have emerged long before I am on here, but I am interested in learning more, and hopefully we can advance something forward on that issue. But in the meantime, I'll be supporting the applicant.

I would move the draft sequel resolution. Second.

Commissioner Terren? So I'll move the draft Master Plan Amendment Resolution.

I would move to approve or to recommend to the City Council the McPhail Master Plan site plan.

Okay, any other further action we need to take then?

So first I want to make a comment. I like getting those monthly reports about activity going on in the planning department. I see that San Marin Drive, I think it's San Andreas, there was gonna be a meeting with the neighborhood. Did that go off? Is that something we're gonna see?

So although the applicant at the earlier hearing withdrew their request to have fees waived, I'm pretty sure that we had put in the general plan that by way of trying to get more affordable housing, that we were gonna be looking to try and get fee reductions, because at $90,000 a unit, it's pretty insane what it costs fee wise. Have we made any progress, Are those all such special agencies that it's out of

Interesting, interesting. Okay, because it does seem fairly unfair as the newer residents come to Nevada. The taxes they pay, whether it's property or otherwise, are so extraordinary compared to the existing residents. I'm not sure that equity is the right word, but there needs to be some kind of leveling of the playing field.

So we should see that on the twenty third?
