“So amplified, well, you can have a guitarist singing not amplified. And is that terrible? Is that really loud? Depends on what time of the day it is. I mean, I don't want to limit live music. I think I'm okay with no amplified music at all.”

“Okay, so the one where they had a, I guess it crosses over, where they had a trailer in the handicap spot, because that wasn't part of their CUP and they were violating the ADA standards or ADA code.”

“Right, but there's never been, to Jonathan's point, there's never been an approval for having any kind of trailer in the handicapped spot at all. No. Ever, no. We were talking about that special event, the special event where they pulled in something into the handicapped spot to facilitate their event, correct? Yes. And that was a violation. But there was item number five, Dealing with the trailer. Oh, that's a separate, right? Yes.”

“Will you remind us, does the spa use, if it was a standalone CUP for the spa, does the spa have enough parking on site without using the hotel's parking?”

“So right And so my point is last time at the last hearing I said you know, we I wanted those numbers so There should be some kind of CPS run with the land, right? so for giving a CUP for this property and would be good to know exactly what it what the parking looks like standing on its own and if it doesn't stand on its own it should have a shared parking agreement with the property across the street even though it's under the same ownership it's a different property it should have a shared parking agreement and that stays in perpetuity even if that property is sold. So if the spa property is…”

“Well, they may. One of the character-defining features is a central open courtyard landscaping hardscaping within the courtyard. That's a character-defining feature. The mid-century modern is known for certain paint colors. I'm sure this is fine, the white and whatnot, but I think, more importantly, they have expressed an interest in reviewing this. I think they have a right to do it. I think by ordinance, by the definition in that uh... code section that lucas read right you're talking about title four so it's four dash eight point oh five minutes of section uh... uh... yeah want the last…”

“Well, it's... It says in this historic report that the central open courtyard is a defining feature of the building, right?”

“OK, but this is no longer. I agree. They could be unpermitted. They could be from the wrong era. It could be anything. But the Historic Preservation Commission, if there's any changes, should have the right and they do have the right to review any proposals or changes”

“That's fine. It's a discretionary application. The Historic Preservation Commission has the right to review this and comment, and they may say... tear it out because we will approve this project but this you know they who knows they they should have the right to look at it and make sure that um the character defining features are um kept in place. So, you know, maybe, you know, I don't know what the issues are. That's why it should go to them to comment. Evan, can you help us clarify? Sure.”

“Correct. OK. Well, I think the Historic Preservation Commission should be able to review the report and see if they agree.”

“I guess I disagree with your interpretation of the code then, because my interpretation of the code, it says very clearly to me that the Historic Preservation Commission reviews and comments within 30 days submission for the public record of any and all historic resources reports prepared for any development project requiring a design review permit, conditional use permit, development agreement, or other zoning code. That's the second sentence in that paragraph, but it's a standalone.”

“You said you think it's a beautiful project and you haven't mentioned any changes that you are Inclined to make unless HPC comes forward Well, the other thing is the parking the parking issue because they're taking away parking off this site Which in this proposal, I think it's great because it's part of the hotel and they're making a courtyard however it if it's standalone and That makes a difference. They're removing parking in an impacted area of our downtown. Anecdotally, driving down Ventura Street, it's packed. There's no parking left. And there's an empty business across the street,…”

“Yeah. OK, well, I'm just pointing out that parking is being reduced on that site. So any future use doesn't have to be a spa. It could be offices or whatever. They're not going to have as many parking spaces.”

“They're relying on the shared use of the hotel at the moment in their proposal. So it impacts the site, it does.”

“We approve the resolution to move forward to City Council with the exception of having the project and the historic resources report go to Historic Preservation Commission on August 13th and back to Planning Commission on August 19th so we can review HPC's comments and incorporate them into the project prior to sending the entire project to city council. If we approve”

“In your evaluation or valuation, can you explain how that's done and because in my mind it seems like a hazardous tree would have zero value so looking at attachment B seven of seven is your valuation can you explain how that's done and why it wouldn't be zero if it was hazardous so sometimes that's a great question that we valued the tree kind of”
