“Thank you. I don't have a lot of questions actually I just want to talk a little bit about the checklist and clarify in section D. It says transportation system adequacy is that where we're covering parking. Because much like solid waste, parking is, as we saw tonight, was a big issue. I'm just suggesting if parking is not under the transportation that we add another bullet point, councilor, that says parking.”

“Yeah, I just didn't know whether it's part of transportation system adequacy. I am not sure.”

“And then the only other suggestion I have about the checklist is that – under a where it says i love this idea of postponement denial denial without prejudice approval or approval with conditions um that maybe we add on to the checklist what are those conditions so that as we're making our notes here check they've got the future date essential missing information i'm sorry does not violate the city's comprehensive plan check use is not detrimental to health safety and general welfare check Use does not violate the land development code. Well, maybe there's something in there and it's approval…”

“I have one tiny correction. Go ahead. On the very last page where it says motion to recommend approval of ordinance 20261-021, we already approved that on the page before. That needs to say 26... 2026-022. Because we've already got 221 on the page before that and we had combined them together. So one tiny correction. Okay. Are there any other corrections? I'll make a motion to approve with the correction.”

“All right. Thank you very much, Commissioner Kramer. Thank you. I just want to begin by saying how pleased I am to see the ordinance around dark sky compliance tonight. So this is the first times I've really looked forward to one of these meetings because I think a lot of people know that that's been something I've advocated for a long time. But I also want to recognize and thank our staff and the legal department for the considerable amount of work that went into bringing this ordinance forward. So I appreciate this opportunity for us to have the discussion tonight around something I feel…”

“I think this one is pretty straightforward for me tonight. And I think Commissioner Hoisington brought up most of the things. I only had one question. This is more for staff. Because it's a multi-tenant commercial center, are we satisfied that the parking calculation accounts not only for CityVet, but for the cumulative demand once the remaining tenant spaces are occupied?”

“Just a couple, you guys know I'm so excited about this because I'll remind you that my neighborhood is the first neighborhood, the older neighborhood, to completely convert to dark sky. So I feel like we're kind of leading the way of where I'm at and that you guys are catching up to that. So I'm really excited. So I went through this pretty thoroughly and to the point where my eyes are a little bit blurry. So I'm going to ask a couple of questions just because I want to help you guys get this right. So my first question was, and this is a little tiny one, but section 129.4C, I didn't mean to…”

“It's an easy add, but I think later on you'll find that if somebody challenges this, that having that specificity will help you.”

“so i didn't want to just defer those decisions to them i don't know if this helps you at all with kind of how you're looking at what you just said but that is the basis for why some of it's worded the way it is thank you counselor that really actually that really does help because it's it was me worrying about your comfort level how you can hold this how you can defend this in the future but if you're comfortable with it i am as well okay uh to And then in section 1296 D all new outdoor lighting installation subject to this chapter Sean corporate adaptive controls and I just want to be clear…”

“I see that a lot of this looks and feels a lot like what Groveland has done. And I've been over in Groveland. I've seen that they even on new facilities where you're building a porch and you've got your porch light, they actually have a small cup coming down to block that light, which they had to actually go figure out how to address the new standard in their area. So... Luckily, they've worked through a lot of these problems before us.”
