“Fire away. So first, just as the procedural posture, am I correct in understanding that a lot of the changes that were already that we're being asked to consider have already been adopted by council as part of the general plan that we're just being asked to codify?”

“So we're primarily focused on the two items that you flagged for us as things that you want our particular feedback and the rest is all kind of more or less what the council has directed staff to do.”

“Perfect. And now, kind of changing gears to the TDR proposal, I just want to clarify, just for my own sake, that you mentioned that the TDR would not then be subject to the density bonus. So am I correct in assuming that they're both being applied to the base rate as opposed to like, so if we start out with 100 units and they had a 20% density bonus, and then a 25% TDR bonus, they would get 155 units as opposed to 25% of the base rate. you know, 120 and get a higher number or 145 units as opposed to 150. So I can't do math at this late hour.”

“Perfect. Yeah, I just wanted to make sure I had it correct. And then finally, moving to the review threshold, does it differentiate at all the 150 units between, say, a brownfield infill development versus a sprawling subdivision or anything like that? It's just the total units?”

“OK. I guess that's something we have Sacramento to thank for then. My thinking is just that I would hate for there to be a scenario where we have a Nevada prides itself on our open space. I would hate for there to be a subdivision that comes down the line that is going to bulldoze a huge tract of land that we couldn't have an input on. But it sounds like Sacramento is once again tying our hands on whether we protect that space. Just trying to think if there's any wiggle room that there could be for us to potentially have an input on greenfield sites within the time frame that Sacramento had…”

“Well, I just wanted to, on the point of, just before we vote, I did also just want to discuss what role design review would play in the review, going back to the review process, the role design review would play. When it sounds like, given the time constraints, they would not have time to review the fewer than 150 units, but would if it were above 150, am I correct?”

“It would not go to the design review commission beforehand. So once we adopt this, designer view basically has no role in reviewing future developments, period. Am I correct in that?”

“Yeah, that's true. Okay, yeah, I just wanted to, I guess, get a clarification on that. I guess we'll see as these projects enter the pipeline if that works, and I guess it can get revised later on. If it doesn't, Sacramento willing, of course. All right. With that, I'm ready to vote.”

“Yeah, just a quick couple of questions. First, on the pedestrian improvements, I might have missed it. It's just those like handful of projects that were on the slides, correct? Or am I missing that there might be like additional, or is it like the road improvements where some of the projects haven't been identified yet? I just wanted to confirm.”

“Yeah, going forward a slide. Just wanted to confirm that those are the four projects that are...”

“Perfect. Just wanted to make sure. And then on the Samaritan Drive improvements, do you have, are there any, I was a, full disclosure, I'm an alumnus of Samaritan High School, so I know the pedestrian challenges there well. I have seen... Many of former classmates almost get run over at San Marin Drive and San Carlos, kind of going between the high school and across the street towards the church across the street. Are there any improvements envisioned for that intersection? I mean, the idea of a roundabout, I think, is really intriguing for that intersection, because that's often the source…”

“Excellent. And then my final question is, Late last year, we had a number of residents from the neighborhood off of Davidson Street testify in front of the Planning Commission about pedestrian safety challenges in the neighborhood. Is there any plan? I didn't see any mention of that here, but in the short to medium term of making improvements in that neighborhood.”

“Excellent. Thank you so much. Those are my questions. I'm really excited about the stuff that is before us tonight. Some really exciting projects.”

“Kind of in a similar vein, just as the newbie here, I'm trying to think if there are other additional uses that kind of fall into this gap beyond what the Apple Pay has in mind that are not coming to my mind at the moment. Just want to make sure that I'm not missing anything.”

“Right, I'm just trying to think if there are other particular, the idea of woodworking, cast iron making, it's a very discrete use. I'm just trying”

“Likewise. I think that, well, a lot of the master plan issues seem to have emerged long before I am on here, but I am interested in learning more, and hopefully we can advance something forward on that issue. But in the meantime, I'll be supporting the applicant.”
