    “Uh-huh. So a site. If I only added four plants, 60% of those would need to be native and the rest of it could be left the way it is.”

    “Okay, because I think that's something we'll need to work on going forward. Because I think that also undermines the intent of the what we're trying to do, because it diminishes it significantly.”

    “My only recommendation would be that if this is not all comprehensive with all the other codes that could affect it, that I would do a reference in the subsection that says please refer to XYZ. Great. So that you're covered and you're not changing anything.”

    “I don't have any questions. You know, when we talked the first time, I did kind of question that copper color. And you had it in the right direction. So I think this is a better choice and it cohesively pulled together better. Thank you.”

    Planning Commission · Aug 24, 2026

    “I do have one question. Sorry. Yes, go ahead. With the approval of the materials, is that tied to the building permit?”

    Planning Commission · Aug 24, 2026

  7. Play at 49:14
    “Okay, because the question would be if we were to go forward, we could tie the approvals of the Planning Commission to the building permit. And if there's a change to that, they would have to submit a revision to the building permit to get it.”

    “I would suggest an example, like have you do a sample first. Yeah, yeah. And then instead of doing the deep dive. Yeah. Got it. That's a lot of work.”

    “I have two questions. Based on your experience, because part of the UDO of this process is to wash all the different conflicts and things like that. In building code, we typically take what's more stringent, because there's a lot of conflicts in that. Do you take the same approach, or how do you wash out conflicting information, and can you talk a little bit about your process with that?”

    Planning Commission · Aug 24, 2026

    “It's also nice to have a reference if there is something that could supersede it. Just say, this is what the ordinance is, but reference this just in case. Second question. In your experience, when you're putting these together all over the country, what other than the color coding and some of the restructuring that you were talking about, what devices or methodologies are you employing to help our staff and the local once you're done and you're providing this document it's gonna be a mountain right and it's gonna be clean and it's gonna be great but from a referencing organizing just use…”

    Planning Commission · Aug 24, 2026

    “No, I'm just curious if there's anything from your experience that you've done in the past that this works better than just providing a document that has links in it that's searchable.”

    “I guess the only request I have for you is that these are milestone dates, which are great, but if you could provide staff and in turn provide us a little bit more fine grain detail of your work process schedule so that we understand where you are and how we can provide you feedback in real time.”

    Planning Commission · Aug 24, 2026

  13. Play at 1:59:22
    “The other request would be between February and March, Um, on that milestone listing, when are you going to have a draft document for us to review ahead of the March and is March realistic is the next question. So, I mean, it's always good to have milestones to try and hit, but once you get into review processes and feedback and then reincorporating any comments, it always kicks out.”

    “So the first one we have here this evening is the Building Elevations All Star Pediatrics, 19 East Brook Bend.”

    “Commissioner Halverson, any questions? No, it's pretty straightforward.”

    Planning Commission · Jun 13, 2026

    “Okay, do we have anyone in attendance who would like to come up and speak in support of the issue?”

    Planning Commission · Jun 13, 2026

  17. Play at 17:35
    “I have two. Sure. Was there a recommendation by the city council as to their preference?”

    Planning Commission · Jun 13, 2026

  18. Play at 17:51
    “And then the second question has to do with... permitting, I mean, it's gonna be the same as a mobile food truck, which would mean any licenses that need to require to actually distribute whatever they're gonna distribute. All of that would have to be included within what they're doing, so someone can't just make their own cart and say they're permitted. They would have to be permitted and approved by the city. And whatever it is that they're doing would have to be regulated by whatever it is that they're.”

    Planning Commission · Jun 13, 2026

  19. Play at 19:27
    “So there's a business license involved and all of the other things that are associated with that.”

    Planning Commission · Jun 13, 2026

  20. Play at 19:52
    “I guess one other comment, and it's not necessarily a cautionary comment, but If we follow the same rules as currently written for the mobile food trucks, which says no alcohol is allowed to be served, that would be great to keep consistent. I can easily see someone coming back to us at some other point in time and asking for a variance saying that can mobile food trucks and push carts get an alcohol license?”

    “I probably used the wrong word. But just some type of provision that allows it. Correct.”

    Planning Commission · Jun 13, 2026

  22. Play at 20:45
    “The only challenge with that is that it's not a location. Yeah.”

    Planning Commission · Jun 13, 2026

    “So anyway, those are the questions I had.”

    Planning Commission · Jun 13, 2026

    “which covers the operational requirements for food trucks.”

    “No, I'm honoring the places, Commissioner.”
