“We're just saying that here's an option to consider. And I mean, that's something that staff, as someone's going through a mixed use agreement, could also say. If they have that concern, they can say, well, that's something you can bring up with council and present your ideas.”

“And that was part of the DRC comments, right? Yeah. Well, yeah. Okay. Mr. Mayor, I move that we approve Ordinance 38-2026, approving the amendment to Chapter 38, updating requirements for the mixed-use zone, and include all DRC comments and Planning Commission comments, and we will strike G. Second.”

“Yeah, I'm just curious. I I mean, for example, a 4,000 square foot commercial building would pay $3,000. And a fire where a home would pay $300. So it's almost 10 times. So it's on commercial? Yeah. Yeah.”

“I really like the designated permit time, hours, and days. I feel like that would be least impactful to residents who would have weekend visitors, night visitors. Hopefully they don't have to worry about as many permits. And my concern, as I've driven through the area to look at it and just blown away by the number of cars that are there, this is not a five stall under shortage. This is... like well beyond that. And so I worry as we focus on this area, where are they going? Like this is going to expand into other neighborhoods. And so I think we need to be really mindful of, okay, what's the…”

“yes kim just to double check so before the general plan updated in 2022 this was residential is that right and then it was mixed use around it but i believe this parcel was residential um i can pull the previous general plan from before 2022 but my recollection was that it was mixed use but if you give me a minute at all i can pull that older version so i i can i can understand concern from the neighborhood that this is now a very short period of time where even if it was mixed use, that it is a pretty big change to the development. I think that's the one thing with the general plan, too.…”

“Well, couldn't we just give direction with a development agreement that would include having the zone changed to commercial rather than, I mean, and that would still change, that would still make a general plan change. But it seems like the underlying plan would need, or the underlining zone would need to be commercial, not residential with some heavy commercial use. Yeah.”

“Okay, that's a question just to understand this better. So if the pipe is going to be buried and under, Why would we need to have an easement? Was there any reason? I understand the head gate to have access to that if there was like no fencing or anything full open access to that. So no one has to enter a backyard. But I don't understand why we'd want to protect the ground on top of a pipe.”

“But those who are going to access it are the ones who are on the other side of the property, right? So it would be their property. No, there's some that are south. South of it? OK.”

“all along that entire property line if the only thing they need to access is the head gate do they just need a walking path to be able to get to it i will refer to the irrigation users at this point okay you need access if you have to work on it so you need like you need wider to be not just walking”

“Yeah, I guess just to make sure that they understand, like, even if we were to move it with conditions, it's not done. Like, they would still have to, this is just one step. So, yes, we could table it. It would slow it down, but there's still more steps to go. The one thing I'm hearing right now tonight is that he is willing to dedicate 20 feet of his land, pay property tax on it, to give an easement that they cannot access. Property owners would not be able to build on or access, but they'd be paying property tax for it. That's a pretty big offer. If we table it, that offer's gone. That's…”

“Mr. Mayor, I move that we approve Ordinance 2026-31, approving a Development Code Amendment to Chapter 26, Accessory Uses of the Development Code, updating the requirements for detached accessory dwelling units, DADUs, to meet the 2026 state legislation and include all DRC comments and the findings by the Planning Commission.”

“Yeah, I agree. Just thanks to staff and everybody, there was a lot of work that's gone into it. And some of it I know we're still working through and weren't able to get it into this agreement. There was two amendments that I would like to include with transportation. I can read those out now and also why I'd like to have those included. One is a traffic impact study. Before, and this would be the amendment below 4.2, before the city issues the first building permit for the project, an updated traffic impact study must be submitted to and approved by city engineering. The traffic impact study…”

“needed a writing yeah i made it again slowly so to clarify yeah it does not obligate the city i i felt like the beginning portion kind of did um no it doesn't it says the so with the amendments so the amendments would be before the city issues the building permit for the project the developer needs to provide an updated traffic impact study so it does not obligate us to”

“And I guess the concern is that that traffic study was then based on the Clubhouse Drive extension being there post-2031, which we're now moving into with that development. So if we don't have something else there, and we have roads that fail as a result of this development, and we're silent on transportation, what does that say? So I totally get the I don't want to have the conflicting things. I also want to make sure that we're covering our bases because they don't support an extension that is for part of the beyond 2031 requirements.”
