Thank you. Can you. Declare the posting please tonight's meeting agenda is duly noticed and posted in the points of government could section by 4, 9, 5, 4, point to thank you commissioner late could you meet us in the budget so it's turned up a supply.

I believe it's still alive United States of America.

Okay, item number three, the request for design permit to allow for the development of a 100-unit affordable apartment project, Monterey, AMG and Associates of a 1.89-acre site. located on Monterey Road. Ms. Brown's gonna give the staff report.

Any questions for Mrs. Brown? Want to go first? You have questions?

Any other questions for Ms. Brown? Sure. Thank you.

Perfect. Or the appendix. It's not an amendment.

Thank you. Okay. Thank you, Tiffany. Wonderful. So we're going to welcome the applicant.

Thank you. Questions for the help. Mr. Dunwell.

Is this the one you're recommending? Correct.

Um, and so the city team, this is the 1 you prefer.

Very proud of you guys. You're really into the colors.

The other thing, which it doesn't show on the rendering, the back half of the building is screened by that adult school. So you're really not going to show like that. Yeah.

First of all, I think it's a great project and I definitely think the staff and MG have done a really good job in terms of collaboration. Just some feedback on the design. You know, the burnt orange is actually my favorite color. So I do like that you kept it in this design. Having lived in London for several years, the dark charcoal And the brick veneer depressively reminds me of London. And so I like the, in the San Bruno project, it was like a light blue, but this, like this brown brick reminds me of the cheap London council flats that I've seen so often. But I do like this design. And I al

So that's my feedback on this. And then the suggestion I have for the outdoor children's park is if you go around Morgan Hill now and you look at all the parks that we have, they started being very open sky and now they have sails because of the heat. So, I would just suggest that you implement sales over that playground park for the kids.

That would be wonderful. Just something to consider.

Thank you. So we've got to be really careful of the directions here, right? Because the directions have a tendency to be perpendicular to Monterey. yeah north is not perpendicular to monterey it's often an angle and on top of that we're we're fairly far south and so the sun is really high in the sky so before you look at shade for that area before you look at shade for that area do a sunlight test yeah right run run the algorithm in the cad system and see where the building shadow really is because it's it's The sun's so high, it doesn't drop until late in the afternoon, maybe. So just, I woul

If that's the direction list, there's a question is, if you add them up, right? The previous floor ends at 5610 and you put 1111 on it. You're at 68, 9 inches. When the building is really 68 feet limited.

So you know I don't know that we have to figure that out tonight right, I just wanted to point out that it looks like we're over height to the roof right. And the extension line to tell you where you're going to the building at, it isn't clear to me if that's exactly at the rough line or not. It was just the discrepancy. And then I said, wait a minute, what's that discrepancy? And then when I added it, it didn't work.

So I was assuming it was to the plate right to the top yeah. And if it's at the top and 1111 is right, you're above 68B. So just somebody needs to figure that one out.

No, the only question I still have is what do you have in an existing park in terms of shades and benches and things like that?

Yeah, but see, that doesn't help me understand where benches are or where shade areas are for people out there. It does get a touch warm in South County.

Yeah, something like that. And then benches, right? Of course, somebody can set not so they're focused all right in that area. The benches near the toddler area, I just want to see that they're located appropriately for the parents or whoever else is there.

Yeah, as appropriate. But again, I don't want to try to design it here. That's probably the worst place to try to do it. But I'm sure Tiffany understands what we mean.

Okay. And just a second, Joe, you had a question about the fence around the perimeter. And I saw here they have a six foot high black steel picket fence around the perimeter of the playground. Is that correct? That's correct.

Yeah. But again, I think Tiffany understands the concerns and she'll make sure they work out the details. Right?

Thank you, Commissioner Lake. Thank you, Chair. Okay. Well, I think for an affordable housing project, it's a well-done design. I only have one question. No, you're done. Storage for the units. What was the thinking on removing that? And the only reason I bring that up is for a studio and even a one-bedroom apartment, that's going to be tough. Since they have no balcony space or. So, what was the thinking on that?

Yeah. There's bike storage in the parking. And I thought I saw some storage area on each of the floors that were labeled as storage areas. Okay. And I didn't know Adam, but I don't think we found him on the top one. on the top view, but on the first and second floor.

It just says probably, but it's... You're going to put your stuff in there, Joe? No. No. But I agree with you that the size of these units, even the one store, the studios in the one bedroom are not much different in size. Right. It's about 28 square feet, I think. Okay. And that's not much. And so basically there's no storage in there for anything. And that's problematic for me. Yeah.

How would that work It doesn't seem very secure if you've got 30 different people putting stuff in. I don't know.

The bikes I get, it's the other stuff you'd store.

Anything I only have one other question you talked about using a third party management company for the building right that's correct, who do you use in South county you said you have a tendency to use somebody in the local area.

Okay. And what about the project that's currently under entitlement?

I don't know. I just beat your website in the last three days.

Okay. That's all. Thank you. I can't make a motion.

Well, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So we're going to open the public comment. Jenna, do we have anybody online before we get to the in-person audience?

Okay. How about present? No public comment. Okay. I'm going to close the public comment.

I'll make a motion to approve for the design permit with two changes to the resolution. And I that we got tonight, right? And the second one would be, I'm gonna say, tell me where to put it, Exhibit A or the Resolution itself, which says the basis of moving forward is that elevation that was shown tonight in the applicant's presentation, right? With the feedback from the Planning Commission as things to consider. Right?

Okay. That's the two modifications to the resolution. What was the first one, Joe? The first one is in Exhibit A, way down in there, there's a technical issue on meters, and there's a question. The lawyer's got to figure out which is right. And it's in a resolution, an alternative resolution or exhibit. It was handwritten.

And the 4th 2. They're in an alternative. And the new one, which is in the resolution itself or in Exhibit A.

To add Exhibit B as the preferred elevation with the coloring with all the feedback that the Planning Commission gave tonight and staff. Yep. That's the motion with those two changes. I'll second that.

Okay, any comment. Jenna can we do a roll call?

Thank you. I think we WENT THE WHOLE MEETING WITHOUT REALLY INTRODUCING OUR NEWEST MEMBER TO CITY STAFF, OUR NEW CITY ATTORNEY. WHO IS HERE, RIGHT? AND WE'RE WELCOME TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. THANK YOU.

Well, we don't have any other business. Okay. Director's report?

What's going on with our tractor supply?

Anything else? I was going to ask about the daycare center that was proposed. Oh, yeah. In the shopping center with Chipotle on the north side of Concord?

Yeah, in behind. It was all the way back to Woodview? Yes.

Okay. Anything else? We're adjourned. Thank you, Chair.
