“Thank you, Chair Boussa. I think most of my questions were already asked by Commissioner Comden and answered. But I did want to know, when they change it to four cell units for affordable housing, is it implemented by the developer or is it implemented still through the housing authority?”

“Thank you, Commissioner. Commissioner Whitaker? Thank you, Chair Boussa. I'm going to echo Chair Boussa's comments. I think this project meets all of our standards. They've come in and they've redesigned it so that they can answer the neighbors' concerns. I'm excited about the for sale component of it, actually, because there's so much rental apartments being built, especially some that we've approved in the last year that I've been here. So I'm excited about the for sale. I also have young adults living with me still. And maybe they can't afford these per se, but maybe someday they can. And…”

“Thank you, Vice Chair Zucker. I have a couple questions for staff. First is, and I'm going to kind of direct this towards planning staff. If this does get merged in the historic preservation and the design review, will staff have to create staff reports? I've worked in jurisdictions where they don't have design review. that the Planning Commission has had to do it. But then you see staff reports from staff that have a lot more architectural review in them. And of course historic preservation, if it applies, is that kind of what would happen in this situation? That we would get, the Planning…”

“Yes, I'd like to ask staff a couple things. First, other cities have what's called a development advisory committee, which consists of people in the other departments, like public works and traffic, and sometimes they have an architect that volunteers to sit on that committee. Do you have something like that?”

“Thank you, Vice Chair Zucker. I have another question of staff, if you will. You mentioned, Vice Chair Zucker, about possibly supporting one committee, one hearing for the DRC for a project. Do they typically go back, keep going back to DRC to finally get an approval, or is that the volunteer, or is that a volunteer, do developers volunteer to go back and”

“And is that because staff has requested that to keep going back to DRC until they get a recommendation from DRC?”
Planning Commission · Sep 23, 2026
- Play at 2:25:17
“OK, thank you. So if staff didn't rely so heavily on the DRC making a recommendation for approval or denial, and there was only one meeting required for an applicant to go to the DRC, and the one meeting was, these are our suggestions, make them or don't make them. Do you think staff would rely less on the approval denial, they would just be able to give those recommendations to Planning Commission?”

“I have to say as a practicing planner, I'm sometimes going to design review committees and it's a lot, two or three meetings because you are getting an approval or a denial that basically staff is wanting you to get before you go to the next body. However, I do think that there is a benefit to it with the community, but it also is a benefit to the developer, even though developers are kind of like, ugh, I gotta go. I think they appreciate the feedback, especially on the massing or the materials. And so I do think that, you know, it is a benefit to the developer as well. I do think if we…”

“I'm reading right here that says director may forward any application that does not require any review by design review to go to design review committee.”

“Thank you, Vice Chair Zucker. I want to throw a monkey wrench also, and I agree with Commissioner Comden. If we can get to look at what the city council did, maybe we could choose another option for them to consider. But I do want to also throw out, just for the idea, just for the clarity of putting it on the record, I do think the council should consider also possibly adding an architect maybe even a landscape architect to the DAC committee because that is something that the development community always has a city of Oxnard has that but the development advisory committee is required usually…”

“I would like to also offer a friendly amendment. I still am not comfortable with the fact that city council voted unanimously to eliminate DRC and give responsibility planning commission. I feel like we are going to recommend option two to them and they're still possibly going to eliminate it. But I think if we could offer them You know a couple of other things and I don't want to be here all night, but I do think that if we could restrict the DRC to what the DRC is described in the ordinance as reviewing and instead of like I said in this item see that the director may may direct projects to…”

“If you look on page 7 of the amendment to the code ‑‑ of the ordinance city council for titles two and 24. It's the redlined ordinance that I'm looking at for the HPC and DRC.”

“If you look at C. Yes. it's there they're proposing to delete it because they're proposing to delete the entire DRC but it says that the basically this see item C allows for the director to forward any application that does not otherwise require review of the design review committee or historic preservation committee to their design review committee or historic preservation committee for a recommendation meaning that projects that aren't prescribed generally in the code to go to design review can be forwarded by the director if he or she does not, you know, thinks it needs design review. So…”

“Thank you. I've been silent up to now. I did not have any questions. I think the report was very clear and concise. We have a robust housing element. I think it's probably one of the best housing elements that I've ever seen. So having this pro-housing designation does not seem, this seems great. I mean, it kind of, they have you by the handcuffs to do this pro-housing designation if you want a grant, and of course we want those housing, and of course we want the homeless housing grants, so that seems like a no-brainer to me. I really don't have anything to add. I have a couple of, the only…”

“Thank you, Chair. I didn't see on the, I was looking at the development standards and I did not see what the maximum potential build out of this is. There's 19 units being proposed, but what is the, what can they do? Is this the maximum or are they, is it more or less?”
