“I would like to learn a bit more about the way the plant unit department is structured. I'm particularly interested in 27745. It has a quite unusual shape, and I want to understand what the extension is, why we are crossing multiple streets with that shape.”

“Okay. So just to confirm, this is actually what the correct demarcation for that lot crossing multiple streets, going parallel to a different street, all of that is, what is that? And is this something that will be cleaning up? Separately, is it a ministerial function that we are doing?”

“Okay, thank you. I just wanted to clarify that. Thanks.”

“Chair, I'd like to move to recommend that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution making the recommendation for the City Council to waive the first reading by substitution of the title and introduce an ordinance approving an amendment to the Glenborough Estates planned unit development to establish development standards for 3415, 3465, 4475 and 27745 South MacArthur Drive ACCESSES PARCEL NUMBERS 248-040-07, 248-040-05, 248-050-20, AND 248-050-02, RESPECTIVELY, EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT SEQUEL GUIDELINES SECTION 15183. I SECOND THAT MOTION.”

“Speaking about the compliance part, we already, I think from the staff report, there may be some homeowners in the city that will immediately go into noncompliance as soon as this comes into force. So how are we going to make sure we're able to bring them to compliance so that we don't retroactively, you know, get people into trouble?”
Planning Commission · Oct 14, 2026

“So there's a grace period within which all of this will happen, and that will take care of that.”

“So from adoption to enforcement is one month. That's a period for that. Thank you.”

“Thank you. A couple others. For the standards and regulations F4, It says that all guest parking shall be provided off-street with a minimum of one off-street parking space per rental unless otherwise indicated by zoning. Are we requiring parking for property owners to be able to support short-term rentals?”
Planning Commission · Oct 14, 2026
- Play at 40:32
“Okay. That clarifies that. Thanks. So it means that if anybody wants to go into this business, they should have at least one parking space.”
Planning Commission · Oct 14, 2026

“Okay. Another clarification is there was this revenue component. If you look at, it's talked about the tax revenue, and we expect that it will have an impact on the tax revenue for the city. Is that our primary measure of success? ARE THERE OTHER IMPACTS THAT WE ARE CONSIDERING FOR THIS CODE CHANGE?”
Planning Commission · Oct 14, 2026

“Okay, thanks. Those are my questions, sir. All right.”

“JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT BEING ABLE TO GET THE HOUSE ELEMENT APPROVED IS AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE, SO CONGRATULATIONS AND VERY THANKFUL TO ALL THOSE WHO PUT IN THE HARD WORK TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.”

“Motion to accept the minutes of August 26, 2026. Second. Second.”

“The first clarification is that the state law went into effect 1st of January this year. And this ordinance is going into effect somewhere in November. If there are any approvals in between then, does the state law go into effect with that? How does that work? Do we have any developments that were approved during that buffer period?”
Planning Commission · Aug 26, 2026

“OK, thank you. The second one is just following up with Commissioner Chavez's point. I noted it during my first reading. If you look at the part where you're talking about the specific plans, when it ends with Tracy Hill's specific plan to require the development of. So the expression to require the development of a naive reading may make it sound like we are requiring development of distribution centers in these specific plans. I was thinking that the wording could be that's the requirement that require the development of, but I also went against it because the definite article makes…”

“Yes. So that's what disabused my mind when I read the whole thing. But when you look at the initial phrasing, it sounds as if. If you look at the reading of the agenda item, it may sound like that. Yeah. The clarification is there in the document. If there's interest in changing it, maybe we can consider it. Other than that, I don't think it's a big deal. This one is just technical understanding. I don't understand what stacking death means. Is it on page? It's under 10.08.4566A5. If you can explain, the rest of the terminology was pretty plain, but stacking depth, I didn't know what it means…”

“So you don't want too long a queue. Okay. Thank you.”

“I just, I think this is probably sorted, but I just want the clarity to be out there. Looking at the timing of the state law and the time that this ordinance is going into implementation, is there any lapse within time within the expected timing that a state law anticipates local authorities to implement?”
Planning Commission · Aug 26, 2026

“Thank you. I really appreciate that because there are a lot of really specific guidance in this ordinance, especially when it comes to residential property and the setbacks around that. So good that you're having it going to effect possibly.”

“Thanks, Chair. Just three questions, clarifications. Regarding the timeline, we are dealing with approximately three years. Since this is done on schedule, do we have a goal deadline or is it open-ended once we start? We are trying to get to three years, but it goes slow. How does this work?”
Planning Commission · Aug 26, 2026
- Play at 55:22
“Thank you. So all things being equal, three years. But if there are exceptions, we'll call it out and communicate.”
Planning Commission · Aug 26, 2026

“Okay. Thank you. And once we are done with the general plan update, does the update recommend when the change is going to effect or there's some standard code that tells, okay, once an update is done, it goes into effect by this amount of time? When would these changes we are working towards start reflecting in the planning of the city?”
