“Just a clarification. Yes, sir. Looking at the information in our PAC, it couldn't determine if there's a second resident, proposed, or is this staying as one residence on the property? Yeah, single property.”
“Okay, thank you. You're welcome. Council President? Thank you, Mayor.”
“And so their improvements are going to... I can't see on the screen what the street is, but... there's connectivity.”
“Just a follow-up item. Sabrina, have you and I talked about this project?”
“I haven't directed you on any issue on this project?”
“Do I have a conflict of interest in voting on this project from your perspective?”
“Well, I think I've been accused of having conflict of interest on multiple projects based on the speech, and I thought it would be appropriate to ask the applicant if I have a conflict of interest and if we've done any business.”
“Yes. Okay. Is there a condition that the road out to the main road is installed prior to this plat? Is it on the... No, it was my question too.”
“Thank you. As part of the conditions of approval, there should be that if they're going to install over the 30 lot rule, maybe that's in the standard agreement. I'm rusty on it.”
“Okay. And that's because our code is basically, that's a standard item for you guys to check.”
“So it doesn't necessarily need to be on the screen. Correct.”
“So I'll be a no, Mayor. So, Mayor? Yes. I'd like to respond. If we want certain things from the development community... and we want plats a certain design in a certain way, then we should have it in our ordinance.”
“And that's why I'm stating it now. If it's not in our ordinance, then adding it or expecting an applicant to make adjustments at this late hour is inappropriate. I mean, it's asking for money, and then we're turning around and saying no. So it's just important that if we have ideas, we need to share them with staff, and we need to work it out through our workshops, which we've had, is all I'm trying to bring to light, versus examining if it meets it. I mean, I didn't see the second exit. They pointed out where the second exit was going to tie. It only would happen. I'm just trying to use it…”
“Mayor? Yes. My question may be more for Fire Marshal Effinger. For clarification, really just wanting the clarification in the record comment in terms of change of use occupancy concern about you know what happens once the buildings are built etc can you walk through tenant changes uh use changes within a multi-use complex”
“Great. Thank you. I think that just brings light and clarification to the concern as far as the scrutiny that the light industrial, the project will go through over time, not just on the initial. So thank you. Thank you, mayor.”
“excuse me mayor yes Rodney can you clarify though for me it seems like a year and a half two years ago there was a workshop ahead of or timing wise with the southwest area plan work that covered encouraging master plan communities and council there was presentations before council on encouraging the master plan communities and making that available. Is this application in concert with or congruent to what council saw before and approved or knew the direction going? I'm just trying to bring past issue forward for this one and need a little bit of a reminder.”
“Mayor, follow up. So, Rodney, is this project in congruent with those plans and those discussions and council's direction from a year and a half, two years ago?”
“Yes. So Rodney question, where the school district owns two different parcels, one for elementary, one for high school. If this project's approved and staged over several years, and then the school district comes forward with plans to build on those sites, that's not going to impact the school district from being able to build is the approval of the master plan community.”
“But in terms of they'd still be able to build a high school, having a master plan community approved is not going to impact or restrict them on building a high school. What I'm getting at is you have neighbors and people living there in the community and then one day the sign goes up, Napa School District is building a new high school and people go, I didn't know about the high school. I wouldn't have lived next to a high school. So what I'm trying to, I guess, have on the record and some communication is the school district has already chosen high school site and an elementary site. That's a…”
“No, I understand, but there's ways to note in the master plan community's documents and so forth that there's an acknowledgement that the Napa School District has plans for school sites. Yeah, very good point. Okay, thank you.”

“You don't think that you ruined the area because you moved here? Because that's your comments. That's your comments. That anything else, your comments. So I'm trying to get a clarification. Your comments are or were, as I understood, that anything new. would be terrible for the area.”
“But you were afforded that choice because the city provided the approval of the neighborhood that you're in. Is that correct?”
