“Thank you, Chair. And thank you, staff, for the presentation. Just a couple quick questions. So I'm curious with this, does the city already have a grant, like, in mind? Or a couple grants? Or...”

“So when you flashed up the list of jurisdictions that already are certified, I was like, whoa. So I mean, and this isn't really a question specific to the city, except how's the state gonna deal with that? I mean, are they prepared to be able to fund all of this? And are we too late to the party or how do we feel about that?”

“they really want to see the jurisdictions come in set some goals and move forward towards meeting the housing element objectives so that makes sense okay that that definitely makes more sense um so you said that the deliverables are where they're already all in place we completely are there any extra requirements”

“Okay. And do you, I don't, maybe this might be, do you have a visual of the studio, the sizes of the, like the plan view of the different sizes of the apartments?”

“I'll look at them before I ask any further questions about that. Let's see. I think the rest of my questions are for the applicant. Thank you. The city person, also always known as Shanna Farley.”

“Yeah, along those lines. So because that's the only, it looks like the trash enclosure is only accessible from underneath. And so is this going to be one of those situations where they have to come in and roll the bins out?”

“So, but the truck comes down the alley. Correct. And then they just roll it out. Okay, thank you.”

“In the DRC, they had asked for relocation of the downspouts, but then I didn't see any resolution. It doesn't look like the plans changed, but I was just curious as to what the reasons were for not responding to those requests.”

“Yeah. And my other question is, it looks like on the bottom level of the units, are there windows on both sides of the units? So both on the outside and then on the inside towards the courtyard? Yes. But as you go up, are there windows on both sides on the upper floors or just on the outside?”
Planning Commission · Aug 26, 2026

“For all the units? I mean, it looked like the studio may have been lacking windows on the interior.”
Planning Commission · Aug 26, 2026

“I'm just getting at just having windows on one side can tend to make the unit quite dark. So I was just curious if that was being addressed. So, okay. That's all my questions. Thank you.”

“thank you um just a couple thoughts um i agree with commissioner mccarty i think this project they put a lot of thought into it and it it will look nice in the area i you know the 60 versus 20 i mean it doesn't it doesn't go outside of height limits so um i i really don't see an issue and i think the bottom line is that they didn't use the density bonus law i'm still a little confused why they didn't they certainly could have but But to your credit, we appreciate being able to review it. So I am definitely inclined to approve as well. I think I definitely would like the clarification on the…”

“Thanks, Vice Chair. And again, thank you all for the presentation. Very helpful, actually. Really appreciate it. And Maruha as well, and staff. um i do have a lot of questions so bear with me i'm going to try to really stick to just questions of staff some clarifications and then get into other things as we do our deliberation um okay so i have more questions about the point system so does the applicant have to meet a total point score or do they have to meet a you know per section point score”

“So they can't meet a lot of points over here and then saying that we're not going to deal with that at all.”

“Okay, so I'm sorry. One thing I wanted to do before I jumped into that was we talked very briefly on that this came in two parts. One was talking about what Ventura's character was. And the only thing that I heard that came out of that whole conversation was eclectic. I mean, can staff talk a little bit more about what the Ventura character, what came out of that conversation so that we kind of have an idea of steering towards?”

“I'll go on with my questions. So backing up, I wanted to talk a little bit more about state law. I'm not myself clear on, and Commissioner Winninger asked some really good questions about this, but I'm not completely clear how this works. the if they come in and they're and they're applying state law based on their um their housing then they i mean they're you'll have to remind me there's a number of they get a number of concessions and waivers and some of them are unlimited and so where and but but then it says that they still have to meet ods i mean that makes no sense to me i mean it seems…”

“Interesting. Okay, do we have any precedents on this in other cities where a developer has come in and are refusing to meet ODSs and the state is backing the city on that matter?”

“Well, OK, and I don't want to get into the deliberation yet. I want, definitely, opinion of the other commissioners on this subject. But I would say that it would be interesting to me to know how city council feels about this. Are they going to be willing to stand up for these ODSs? So that can be a point of discussion. Let's see, what else? Oh, sorry. So I wanted to go back to the, really appreciate the plant palette and that whole discussion. That was really interesting to me and I, you know, Really appreciative of that. I think that's really important. Are we okay with the 2013 USGS…”

“I'm impressed that you were prepared to answer that question, so kudos on that. Thank you. So with the 30% designer's discretion, and I can't remember if you mentioned this, so I apologize, but does that allow invasive species in that 30%?”

“Let's see. Is there any point where an ODS would become a development standard?”
