Commissioner Lopez, yes. Commissioner Jimenez, yes. Commissioner Mennez, yes. Vice Chair Shley, yes. Sher Hammond, yes. Thank you. With vote 5 to zero, this motion is approved.

Thank you very much. We move on to item six, public hearing items. Okay. Uh item A, specific plan amendment 26-00001 and zoning code text amendment 26-0000001. A proposal to amend the zoning code title 19 of the Paris Valley Municipal Code, Paris Valley Commerce Center specific plan, downtown Paris specific plan, and the Green Valley specific plan to establish a minor conditional use permit process for lower impact uses. The applicant is the city of Paris. requested action that we adopt resolution 26-04 recommending that the city council determine the project is exempt from the California Quality Act guidelines pursuant to section 15061B3 common sense exemption and it can be seen with certainty the proposed amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment and approve zoning code text amendment 26-0000001 to amend the Paris municipal code to establish a minor conditional use permit process for lower impact uses based on the findings contained herein. Adopt resolution 26-05 recommending that the city council determine the project is adequately covered by the corresponding PVC CSP PP SP GPS EIR and no further environmental review is required. The proposed amendment also qualifies to be exempt from the California Equality Act guidelines pursuant to section 15061 common sense exemption. And it can be seen with certainty the proposed amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment and approve specific plan amendment 26-00001

to amend the PVCCSP DPS GPS establish a minor condition permit process for the lower impact uses based on findings contained herein. Thank you very much. And we have Mr. Raphael. I see you make the presentation.

Good evening honorable members of the planning commission. As you indicated, uh we're here before you tonight to go over an amendment for the um establishing a process pertaining to minor conditional use permits. Uh a little bit of context is that the Paris zoning code currently requires that all conditionally permitted uses be reviewed through a cup process regardless of the scale or intensity of the project. Over over time, staff has witnessed that certain uses uh typically uh demonstrate minimum impacts and are routinely approved with standard conditions. A minor conditional use permit process would provide an administrative level review process for lower impact development uses um including land uses that provide entertainment options for the residents of the community. Uh this is a way to promote economic development by streamlining uh the entitlement process and expediting uh certain projects while preserving the city's ability to impose conditions and ensure that land uses are compatible with the surrounding area. So what staff has done is we've incorporated some language to establish a minor conditional use permit process and on top of that we've identified certain land uses that would qualify as part of this process. and we've done that for the zoning code as well as for three specific plans. So, what I will be doing is going over the these are the changes that would be done to the uh commercial neighborhood as well as the commercial community zones 1936 and 1938 uh of the city's zoning code. So uses such as arcades, bowling alleys, drive-thru services for banks andarmacies, uh florist shops with incidental alcohol sales, health and fitness centers, uh

micro micro breweries overall skating facilities, tutoring centers, urgent care facilities, veterinary services, and vocational schools would all be allowed within chapters 1936, which is the commercial neighborhood as as well as 1938 the commercial community zones. The only exception there is the bowling alleys. They currently are that bowling alleys is a use that's already allowed within chapter 1938. And so the bowling alley would be something that would only be applicable to the 1936. On top of that, we are also amending the land use table provided in section 1944. This is for the industrial zones of the city zoning code. uh that is proposed to be amended um as per the red lines that you see on the screen and that would include uh a few things including allowing indoor commercial recreation uses with a minor CUP. Staff is also um proposing one minor revision to what you see on the screen, which is to combine the micro brewery with offsell retail along with the micro brewery with on sale retail in order to make it simpler, more uh easy to understand. Uh so we've actually created a definition that would encapsulate both uses so that both uses would be allowed and the land use uh or the uh permit type would be outlined as part of the micro brewery with onell tasting room. So that we would also allow offsell as part of that in that a lot of the micro breweries can be seen as a more specialized product that uh offers artisal products that are unique in nature. Um, we're also proposing um to allow restaurants that are serving alcohol beverages with a minor cup as well as urgent care, veterinary

services, and vocational schools with the within the industrial zones um of the city zoning code. Now, as part of this um something to keep in mind is that the planning commission is currently the approving authority for CUPS. Uh the amendment uh before you tonight includes revisions to the review authority provisions contained as part of section 1954 uh 030 as shown in red which would outline the review authority and the approval authority for the minor conditional use permit um application requests. On top of this we are also amending three different specific plans. The first would be the Paris Valley Commerce Center specific plan. Uh we are proposing amendments to in order to allow a wide variety of uses. uh some of them which are already included as part of the the specific plan but that would be allowed with a minor CUP and that includes veterinary services uh drive-through services for banks andarmacies again the micro breweries personal services within the light industrial zone uh hospital um would also uh be uh something that would be allow excuse me the hospital used to um include include urgent centers. Urgent centers is being included as part of a separate land use classification towards the bottom of the table. And that's uh that that's going to be separated. So in order to allow urgent centers uh potentially with an MCUP with a minor CUP within the general industrial the BO as well as the commercial uh districts. It would also allow um schools and uh trade schools with a minor CUP in the light industrial and the general

industrial as well as the um commercial zones. And it would allow the recreational areas facilities uh basically which would be consistent with the indoor health facilities within the BO as well as the commercial zones. One of the specific plan that's being amended is the downtown specific plan. Uh the amendment before you tonight would also amend sections 5.41, 5.42, and 5.43 for three subsection H of each of the sections to allow arcades, bowling alleys, floor shops with incidental alcohol sales, health and fitness centers that are less than 5,000 square feet in area, micro breweries, skating facilities, tutoring services, and vocational schools, all with again a minor conditional use permit. Lastly, the Green Valley specific plan is also proposed to be amended. Specifically, uh staff is recommending to amend chapters 3.5 and 3.6 six to include some additional land uses that would be allowed with a minor conditional use permit which would include drive-through services for banks andarmacies. uh publicly owned museums, libraries, and community centers, as well as government offices and recreation areas, private clubs, lounges, and veteran organizations, as well as urgent care facilities within chapter 3.5, which is the retail commercial zone, and fire and police stations, private clubs, fraternities, sororities, lodges, and nonprofit organizations, as well as all other business park uses requiring a minor conditional use permit not mentioned but allowed per chapter 1944 of the zoning code within chapter 3.6 which is the business and professional zone. Now staff ended up making a a slight

tweak to the brewery definition in order to make it easier to understand and more digestible for the applicants. So, we are making a change to the micro brewery definition to mean a use that is engaged in the on-site production of malt beverages, including beers and similar fermented beverages in quantities limited to 15,000 barrels per year, which may include accessory activities such as brewing, fermenting, conditioning, bottling, canning, keging, packaging, storage, and distribution of products produced on the premises and includes retail sales of malt beverages manufactured on-site for off- premises consumption and or the on-site services and consumption of the malt beverages manufactured on the premises. Um that would also allow for retail sale of the product or similar beverages that are produced off the premises within a tasting room or tap room area. The use may include incidental food service, merchants, merchandise sales, tours, and educational events as well. And that's something that again is being added to try to include all of the different variations or different uses that uh hopefully will attract new businesses uh to the community. Uh and as you can see, this is a picture of uh some of the some of the micro breweries um that are out there and something that would be consistent with what we would expect. So this wouldn't necessarily operate uh like conventional um liquor store. It also wouldn't operate as like a conventional bar. Um the purpose of this is for these types of business to offer a specialty product that has artisal qualities uh for the members of the community. Now with that said, the proposed zoning code text amendment has

been determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to SQA section 15061 B3. With that said, the planning commission is recommending or staff is recommending that the planning commission recommend that the city council determine that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEO section 15061B3 and approve zoning code tax amendment 26-00001 and specific and specific plan uh amendment to the Paris Valley Commerce Center specific plan. the downtown Paris specific plan as well as the Green Valley specific plan based on the findings contained as part of the resolution. That concludes the presentation. I don't believe that there is anybody in the audience here, but staff will be happy to respond to any questions that the members of the commission may have pertaining to this item.

Thank you. Thank you very much, sir. And Mr. Chair, if I may, we have some technical changes to the resolutions I could read into the record at this time if and make that part of staff's recommendation if staff's okay with it.

Okay. So, in addition to the changes that were referenced by Mr. Garcia where the two micro brewery definitions would be consolidated into one and the land use regulations that are currently listed for the micro brewery on sale would apply to that one consolidated definition. In addition to those changes, we would also make the following changes to the planning commission resolutions. So for 2604 section 4, uh this is on page uh 18 of your packet. Um we would just change the word it it refers to the changes that would be made to the code being shown in red font. It should just say in red line font instead of red font. And then on page 53 of your packet which is in resolution 26-05 in section 2A which is the SQA finding for the Paris Valley Commerce Center specific plan EIR. Um the second sentence of that paragraph should be replaced to instead read as stated in the second sentence of the paragraph below that in subsection B as well as in subsection C. So just replace that sentence. And then um in uh that same resolution uh in section five which is page 55 of your packet um we would just add something to state that uh or section four actually um add a reference to state that the changes to the code are as shown in red line in the attachments to the resolution and also adding language authorizing the director to make further edits consistent with the intent of this uh recommendation and that would be the same language that's currently shown in um section 4 of resolution 2604. So we would add that same language to section 4 of uh resolution uh 26-05 and that's it.

Okay. Any questions of um staff at this time?

Excuse me. I do have a question regarding the review authority table. Some of the some of the items that you have listed are are with alcohol cells and such. So um including to but one is not listed. It often commonly has have alcohol sales which is bowling alleys um and perhaps arcades depends on it depends on the arcade. So those are if any of those two it bowling alley arcade would like to have alcohol sales would that not be in this category the bowling alley classification I think but along with the arcade doesn't the current code uh does not distinguish that so it does not itemize that as an additional use it's something that we can include as part of tonight's meeting typically bowling alleys I would say that most of of them include some level of alcohol service. So, it's something that we can add for clarity. Arcades, uh, I've seen them before. So, I have seen them with alcohol. Again, it's something that we can add tonight if that's something that the planning commission would like to recommend to the city council.

Yeah. So I guess it's something that that we need to discuss that maybe it's outside of the this purview or if it doesn't have alcohol sales it's can be MCU that maybe I would say that definitely the on the bowling alley side I would say that that's typically alcohol some some level of alcohol sales is something that's uh that goes hand inhand with bowling alleys uh with arcades is something I think that that's maybe the one that you guys would want to discuss to see if you want to allow alcohol It's a very good point just because the arcade at this point would be allowed but not necessarily with alcohol service as written as part of this uh the amendment that's before you tonight.

So should we actually man the bowling alley with alcohol or is that in 1936 spelled out already? It does not include alcohol. So do we want to include that here? if the planning commission wishes. Yes. And then um the other part B of my question was the the reviewing of authority and and pro probably the responsible agency I'm sure is the al alcohol board for the alcohol. Yeah.

For the alcohol it would still be through the minor cup and it would be the director. The license the alcohol license would go through ABC. So that's so that so typically when we approve an alcohol use we would condition so the director would issue the approval for a minor CUP with a condition approval that they secure the alcohol license that's required uh from uh the ABC the state or the state agency that oversees alcohol licenses.

That's that's why I'm intending to read it as well. Um and then any of these items because it's a minor conditional use permit and the director is reviewing these and approving them then we will not see them any of them.

No. And and the whole idea for the minor conditional use permit is to streamline the process to facilitate economic development um in areas in different areas of the city um including our downtown. Um and yes, the director would be the approving authority. Uh the decision of the director um may be appealed to the planning commission if the applicant is not satisfied with the um with the action taken by the director or the director may also refer an item to the planning commission. I I do appreciate the I don't want to say lowering of standards, but the lowering of uh the the the ease of being able to get this done quicker for smaller businesses and to encourage that to be in those new and in those zones. I think that's um a very good uh process that should have been known sooner. I was curious, are the uses that were outlined in the presentation and um in red in the staff report um for eligibility for MCUP, is that an exhaustive list or are there any other um purposes that are also falling under this that we haven't like explicitly seen? Um, I guess I'll I'll explain the methodology of how we compile the list. We what we did is we attempted to go through the code through the land use classifications and a determine is there anything that's missing. Sometimes there's land uses that are just not explicitly identified. So we attempted to do that by looking at uh obviously four documents. So we have the zoning code. Uh we have commercial and industrial zones. We have three specific

plans, the downtown specific plan, the Paris Valley, and the uh Green Valley. So, we attempted to to create a list that included all of the uses, you know, within reason. Does this list include every potential use out there? The answer is no. It doesn't include every potential use that you could imagine. But we attempted to include uses that would be seen as uses that would uh help promote economic development within the city and that would facilitate the process for those uses that the city seemed would deem attractive. Um and so that's what we attempted to do and we attempted to locate those uses in the proper location. So for instance, the uh an industrial type use wouldn't necessarily uh be appropriate in the downtown area and so forth. So we attempted to locate them in areas that were appropriate when you account for the operational characteristics of the given land use.

So those located uses, the ones that we've determined don't need um such a high barrier. Um typic yes typically they would be I would say uses that would require a conditional use permit but that typically um they're still going to go through a process but that have maybe lower uh likelihood of creating impacts on the neighborhood on the neighboring community.

Yes. I guess what I'm I'm asking is um what's listed here and then explicitly in red in the zoning code is that all-encompassing of what is eligible for the MCU? I know that there's some discretion if it's very similar, you know, there can be some leeway, but is there anything that we're um making eligible for a minor cup that isn't listed explicitly here? No, all the uses that you see here would be the uses that would be allowed through an MCU. There is, I believe, one caveat that says that the director may make a determination, but basically all the the intent was to allow these these specific uses.

Okay. Thank you. Um and then another question if in the future we would like to add more like maybe we identify um similar developments or other developments that would really um benefit from the minor cop process. Um would that would adding those to the eligibility list or the eligible list um would that also be a public hearing or would that be something that's up to the discretion of the city?

It could be either or. It really depends on the discretion of the director. So the director may say, "Hey, this use that's being proposed like a new use. Uh it's analogous to what's here, so I feel comfortable moving forward." Or he may direct it, he may direct it to to the planning commission. Uh ultimately, if there was a use that's not specifically outlined here, most likely it could potentially require a zoning code amendment. So if there's any use that the commission believes that should be included here, that's something that we can take into consideration and take it before the city council. Okay. Okay, thank you. That's all I have for for right now. Thank you.

Okay. I did want to ask, can we pull up the slide that has the PVCC zoning changes, please? Um, thank you. So, just to clarify, L1 is light industrial, general industrial, business park, commercial, residential, multifamily, residential, right? Those are the headings across the top. That is correct. because um is this the only slide because I'm looking at 20.2 within our um presentation and there are more

there are more there are more land use classifications on the on the overall table in the specific plan but the only the table that you see on the screen is were the only changes that are proposed. Okay. Because on my end, live work units also goes under BO to a minor conditional use permit as well as in commercial. And I don't see live work units here. I'd have to double check that. Give me give me one second.

Yeah, it's within our packet page 59. There are more changes on here. So like live work units we didn't review and there's there's more Commissioner Jimenez, you are correct.

Yeah. Pages 58 to 61 of your packet is like the full official list of what would be of it has the full current table and shows all the proposed changes in in red line format. Okay. So the correct one would be the one in the packet and not that is correct. So live work should have been included as part of this list. That's correct. Can you tell me what live work is please? live live work is a a type of use where somebody who works in a commercial it's part of a commercial business would also live on site specifically. Okay.

So it would so the commercial business which typically doesn't include a lot of the residential amenities would include those amenities. That can include something like a kitchen, a small kitchen or potentially even a bathroom. Not all businesses have um like a shower for instance and so live work would be something that would include a residential component as part of a commercial tenant space. Is that similar to what we see in like storage facilities? Not a little bit different. This would be this would be maybe for uh somebody who has maybe like a um maybe like a shoe repair shop or something like that where they have a maybe a two-story building and they have the business on the bottom portion of the building and then they live on the second story. that that that was kind of the idea.

Okay. Or like an art studio like somebody who does art and they okay have a little loft within where they create correct their Okay. Typically it would not include uh any type of industrial warehousing just because the occupancy there is not something that typically you would see residential in conjunction with um warehousing. Okay. They're they're usually low impact um uses combined with residential. Okay. And I also wanted to ask where the bowling alley and skating rink fall within these changes in the PVCC.

So that's a good question. Uh they were not included in part of this specific specific plan just because the Pacific plan has more of an industrial um nature. So, it's something that you can include. The every land use that you saw as part of the zoning was not necessarily included as part of every single specific plan. We attempted to locate them in areas that were deemed the most appropriate given uh kind of the original intent of the specific plan area. However, if you wish to include them as part of this list, that's something that is at the uh that's an option that the planning commission has here tonight. I going to check with my commissioners in a second, but I feel like it's important because I I felt it could fall within recreational areas and facilities, but that has a limit of less than 5,000 ft. So that would be limiting if we put to me that's a recreational area. A skating rink and a bowling alley are considered recre recreational. I think the recreational is something that was some of that verbiage was already in the Paris Valley Commerce Center specific plan, but what we attempted to to do is include something for kind of a health and fitness center.

So, as an example, that would be something like maybe like a a small CrossFit, small gym, um maybe like a Pilates studio. Yeah. Something that could potentially go in an industrially uh zoned property. That was kind of the idea.

Yeah, typically you wouldn't I would say you would see maybe certain recreational uses there. You wouldn't necessarily see a bowling alley in a more in industrial industrial area. There are certain uh there are there is some commercial in the Paris Valley Commerce Center specific plan. maybe that would be more appropriate. But um it's just something that's at the uh at the uh if the planning commission has an interest and providing bowling alleys and what have you in this that's something that we can include here tonight. I think specifying because we are adding bowling alley arcade and skating rinks which are recreational opportunities but they're not specified within the original one. So maybe having another line that groups them together or and with a definition of them clarifying because doesn't

or I wonder if um there would be a way to say like an all-encompassing definition because I know I don't know you you you triggered something in my brain. I I don't know if it's Ontario. It's somewhere. Um there was a there's like the bottom floor of what was supposed to be a warehouse. they converted it into like a go-kart area. So, like something like that, something that's all-encompassing that wouldn't typically be in that zone. I mean, I would also say escape rooms. I know those are really big. I know that I've been to a couple in Ontario that are in an industrial zone. So, I don't know. I mean, escape rooms are the best. And I feel like there could be something that really encompasses

encompasses like that kind of definition where we can maybe Yes. because it is recreational, but this is recreational focusing on like the indoor health and fitness, but we need recreational.

You're absolutely correct. I'm I'm looking I'm I'm researching what definition is provided in the Paris Valley Commerce Center specific plan right now uh for recreational areas. Uh because if not if if we don't provide one, I think it's a great idea to include the amenities that you're um speaking of right now. Um the indoor health and fitness um it was just like a like an example um it not to be to be less than 5,000 square feet. Okay. Uh but it was not intended for that to be the only recreational amenity under that definition. So if you give us a a few minutes we can come back to that. Okay. Good.

Thank you. because it could be just taking that out too if it's already in the definition or it could be just we could what we could do is we could probably strike out some of the language uh as part of the table and then just add that to the definition and then add it to the definition. And what we can do is include uh bowling alleys, escape rooms, go-karts, uh anything else that maybe you may want and uh not limit it to 5,000 cuz some of those uses most likely you can't have a go-kart in 5,000. Yeah, most likely they're going to be larger than 5,000.

It's too small. Yeah. Um, my other question was when we were talking about the tutoring locations and the vocation of schools or schools, it doesn't specify it in the PVCC, but I did want to ask, is that no more than 20 students on location at the time or does it include not having more than 20 students on your roster?

Uh, in this case, it would include at any one point in time. So, if they wanted to have, let's say, five classes throughout the day and 20 20 and they wanted to have 100 students, that's fine. The purpose of that just to limit the amount of uh parking and traffic on site. Typically, the industrial buildings when they're designed, they're not designed with um a lot of parking, right? So but but at the same time schools are depending on the type of school it doesn't really operate like a regular use and that a lot of the times for instance if somebody wanted to do like a music studio or something like that a lot of the children get dropped off or kids you you know they may get dropped off at the location. Um so the the purpose was to allow 20 at any one point in time. That was the intent.

Okay. Maybe you want to clarify that there's actually up north there's an amazing charter school system and they have taken like old commercial/industrial and converted it and they have these amazing CT pathways and it's phenomenal but it's in an non-use commercial facility. One of the schools is in a old industrial building that they broke down and it's just a phenomenal school. But maybe we do want to specify 20 on location at at a time because we don't want it to somebody who wants to apply say I can only have 20 students on my roster that won't pay the bills. Commissioner Jimenez, um I was able to find the definition for recreation areas and facilities indoor and it reads as follows. uh amusement or entertainment provided in an enclosed space designed to provide pleasure or relaxation such as billiard halls, amusement centers, um social fraternal organizations, indoor commercial recreation, restaurants with entertainment excludes adult entertainment, bowling alleys, movie theaters, climbing walls, batting cages, go-kart racing, billiards, arcades, and and and laser tag. It includes bowling alleys. Yeah.

So, miniature golf. I didn't hear that. If if we want to if we want to add anything to the definition, this is the opportunity. A glow golf, I think, would be good. Like a like an indoor. Well, I think trampoline park would be a good addition. Trampoline park. It's probably nearly impossible to list all the facilities. Yeah, but what we know, but the using specific words to allow for it and I think it's very discretionary to have have an openness to it as well.

Yeah. So, I think the main thing would be then to maybe remove and adding within that definition um indoor health and fitness less than 5,000 square feet to the definition instead of having it on the title description here. Agreed.

Okay. And um is this something that we can add to be revisited every so often by the commission even if the city if we move it on to the city and they approve it? My concern is we have amazing staff right now but a few years down the line we may not and their standards may not be as high as ours. So, is this something that we can have it come back I'm trying to be nice,

bring back to the planning commission just for a revisit, or is it something once it's approved by the city council, it's said and done, or is that something we can recommend for them to have a periodic update and check of where we're at with this? I think more than a periodic update and check. It's just that the city always has the discretion to initiate further zone zone text amendments. So, and I believe that normally can be done can be initiated either by the director of development services or by the city council or planning commission. I would have to double check the code on that. But in other words, it's a legislative action. The city can always initiate another action to change it back or to change it more add more uses that are allowed with MCU. uh subtract uses that are allowed with an MCU or change it however the city wants. You can always initiate another

change. So it wouldn't be something you'd need to necessarily re revisit. I mean you could you could ask staff to set you know a standing item each year to you know look at it. It's not like you couldn't do that. But um you know what the code says so it's going to continue to say that until you change it. So you don't need to like necessarily revisit it. It's just that you can look at look up the code anytime and if you feel that something needs to be changed, you can bring that up with staff. Staff can initiate a zoning code text amendment and it can come before the planning commission to consider changing it, which would be a recommendation to the council. Council. Yeah.

May I jump in a little bit? Um I think that that's kind of what I was asking before. um in any zoning change um tech text change um so say in the future somebody decides no we want to take this away or oh I want to add a couple other uses would that always be a public hearing item so then would that be coming to the commission regardless yeah any change to the zoning ordinance or to the specific plans is a public hearing item okay that that requires a planning commission hearing and recommendation to the council and ultimately council approval to make the change Okay.

Oh, is that something that I can put on here that I would like for it to be a yearly putting it on the agenda because if we have commissioner changes, staffing changes so that just we make sure we keep it on the docket and that whoever the planning commissioners are at the time know what happened.

So, I don't know that that can go on like for the infinite future. like it's always going to we could just say right now and require that it's going to be a standing item every year, but maybe we could, you know, the commissioners can always request staff to add items to a future agenda. So, you could say, you know, to to get started, um, can you add an item to the agenda for, you know, one year from now to revisit this? And then at that point, we would go from there. It's not like we would be required to have it each year, but we could have a checkup in one year and look at it then and then go from there. Okay. Yes. Yes. See how it goes for the first year with MCU in place and then that makes sense. I'm all about checking balances and making sure we're doing the right thing. See if anything needs to be tweaked. Yes.

And speaking of checking things and seeing if they need to be tweaked, I noticed I don't know if it's a typo or maybe I misunderstood um previously on page 37 in attachment three. It's the um the land uses tables table for industrial zone districts um for BP zone warehouse and warehouse distribution center are still listed as cup allowed cup. Um I don't know if that's a typo because I I do believe we we eliminated that use from the business park zone. Yeah.

Uh I don't know if that's a typo. I just want to make sure that if it is that it gets uh addressed. Yeah, that looks to be uh out of date. That warehouse the warehouse row uh under the BP zone column. I believe that's already been changed to prohibited from CUP by council action. Am I right? Yes. So then that's just it's probably that this was copied from the online code which doesn't reflect the change yet. So that can just be updated. I did see that. Yeah. And because I did check the online code and it says the same. It still says

because after after the council approves a a zone text change, it takes several months for the the online code editors to make the change to reflect it. So I think when staff copied the table from the online code for purposes of making these changes, they that that hadn't been reflected yet and they didn't catch that. Okay. Got it. But that doesn't mean that the intent here is for it to be CUP. it's still prohibited and that can be uh corrected in the the resolution that gets signed. Got it. Thank you. And on that question, um on that same table, um I noticed that micro brewery and urgent care under um general industrial, it still requires a cup, right? It's not a minor cup.

The micro brewery and which one else? Um urgent care. in care. They're listed as CUP. Yeah. So some So the So some of them are some of them would still be CUP. It's not it's not in some cases it's MCU across the board, but not in all cases. Right. So in some cases you're saying no, you're still going to need a cup because maybe the the use wouldn't be as appropriate in this zone versus another zone. Yes. So again, it's one of those things where if the platin commission wishes, you can make those changes here today. But okay, perfect. That's it for me.

Follow that. Yeah. Um, no. I'm trying to put this in context. Okay. Obviously, the ultimate intent is to streamline this process. uh puts the power in the hands of the director. Hopefully, we trust. No, I'm just kidding. Administrative review. Uh it's only if you trust staff. Yes.

Um I think one of I'm go back to a few points. I'm not going to bother. uh one is that when you anytime you have alcohol whether it's a brewery or that um and you don't the cup process of course you talked about initial saying that if you're coming in with a micro brewery and you have the distinction they're selling it they're doing it they're still drinking alcohol um one of the things is is they have discretionary review to approve it but then the the followup is who's going to oversee this so if there's an issue it comes to who? So, if there's discretionary review, it's approval by a director, but then they find out, well, they're not actually drinking like they're crazy there. They're selling it to minors, all this other stuff. Um, it stops at an administrative review. We need to have wording in all of these saying that ultimately the ultimate final decision would be the planning commission if need be. Other words, if if there's an issue like I give you a perfect example, uh 7-Eleven starts selling stuff to minors outside the door, they'll see the police start right have all these write-ups and issues, it's a CUP issue. It comes to the planning commission, right? So, if there's issues and they're saying they won't do this, but I'm saying this the approval, discretionary approvals to get the streamline process, get it going. But I think ultimately we need to have wording say that things can be um appealed to the planning commission if there's an issue or to some way get to the planning commission if need be. Just like if they can pass us, it goes to the city council. Um they can we can decide things and the city council says appeal it to them. If we say no, the they can oversee us and say no. They have that discretion. But I'm just saying this is just one point. I'm just wondering particularly when it comes to alcohol sales. Um, and we, you know, we trust we have one on this street over here. I forget it. Morgan, whatever is over there that we opened up. I think they're going to have tasting and things like that. Hope the tasting didn't get past. But they're tasting it. They're developing it on site and all that.

Assuming that these are people are legitimate, but you're saying you're combining off sale is one thing, but on site where you're sipping those kind of thing, I'm just focusing on micro one thing. um that's an issue uh of what happens to the next stage. So I don't know if it's written in this thing that somehow is passed the director does it come to the planning commission. Uh, one more thing too. Um, I do agree too and when it comes to arcades, bowling alleys, um, you know, especially arcade bowling alleys where you have actually will have sales of alcohol there and we have to be watch the wording in this thing because you can approve a bowling alley and they're going to want beer there. I'm not going to drink it, but they people will drink beer at bowling alleys. Uh, it may come with harboring, who knows? But you get those kind of things that you do that's not skating disco skating of the past. That's before you guys. Okay. But now those kind of things would come in alcohol where we have wording to the effect that we're just saying, well, okay, it's permitted, but it's approved discretionary. But then you have the oversight. You know, if there's a problem with bowling, there's a problem with alcohol sales. If there's a problem with that, where do you go to? if we already have approval to do it, but what happens if there are violations of this? Is this a standard process in the city for that? And then I'll stop with that one for now.

So, Chair Hammond, I can speak to the the oversight um concern. Um so, that goes to the revocation provisions of the code for conditional use permits. So, it's on page 46 of your packet.

It shows the text of section 19.61.0 060 of the zoning ordinance which pertains to revocation for uh conditional use permits. And as you can see, staff is proposing to just add the phrase minor conditional use permit to that section so that minor conditional use permits are treated the same way as conditional use permits when it comes to revocation. So, um, subsection A states that the planning commission on its own motion at a public hearing may revoke or modify a conditional use permit and is proposed to say or minor conditional use permit upon making one of the findings in subsection C. And then subsection C has the required findings that would need to be made for revocation of a conditional use permit and now also proposed to be uh the required findings for a minor conditional use permit. So, it would be the same revocation process for an MCU as a as it would be for a cup. I

if and just for clarification for us, the if there's a problem in any of these areas, the alcohol sales, uh, and I know it says it's there, but the process if if it's approved administratively originally, but then there's an issue, the city finds the issue, the city would bring it to the planning commission that there's an issue to revoke that. how that just goes through the standard process. In other words, revocation it has to get to us some way. So, it's a public hearing and then it would be

he finds that the uh the there's one of the criteria for revocation has been met like there's been a violation of the conditions of approval or the use has become a nuisance or the MCU was obtained by fraud. Uh the city would initiate uh a revocation process and it would come before the planning commission for a hearing to consider revocation of the permit. So the planning commission would be the approval authority or the decision-making body for whether or not to revoke a cup or an MCU. Um that would be added. So currently uh the decision as to whether to revoke a CUP goes to the planning commission and this would now be the case as well with the MCU. And uh you also asked the question about appeals. So, generally, um, I think the code already states, I haven't confirmed this, but I believe the code states that any approval decision that's made by the director can be appealed to the planning commission, just like any approval decision that's made by the planning commission can be appealed to the city council. So, if the director approves an MCU

or denies it, that that decision on the MCU can be appealed to the planning commission. Okay. Just for clarification, is that stated there? That's stated in another portion of the code. Okay. You may want to make reference to that there. I'm very legalistic. I make reference to the other portion of the code. Whatever section, we can put something in to clarify that decisions of the director regarding MCU applications may be appealed to the planning commission. Yes. Yes, we can add that. Yeah, we trust the director. Cross reference the other section wherever it is.

Yeah, that's am I a lawyer now? No. Um, it's very important because we're not saying it's going to happen. when I say, but you know, people might get wild at the bowling alley and the owner just looks the other way. Wink wink, you know, and you know, I'm anticipating, you know, he's got to wild some of these places sometimes, guys. So, just just to be clear, it's also that uh the parameters of alcohol cells in and drinking on on premises is also um reviewed by the location of sensitive receptors as well. And Come again one more time. The the question.

Okay. The alcohol cells and stuff and drinking on the premises are are reviewed to not be within the sensitive receptors. Uh with regards to um the the the state license has a requirement where if an area is oversaturated with alcohol licenses then there are certain certain legal findings that have to be made. There is not a specific requirement that uh in here that specifies that there has to be a clear a specific clearance uh from a residential property. However, it does mention our alcohol regulations, and I want to say that there may be something within our alcohol regulations that requires a specific clearance. Is that what you're referring to? A specific clearance or a specific distance?

Yes, I am.

Obviously with we talk about oversaturation because we see that all the time. Uh 20 in one area, 16 other area. And then it's up to the planning commission generally to be the first line that would say, you know, well, well, you know, we're going to override that. But they might find there 20 in an area. But if there's residential uh and we don't have a a,000 ft, 1500 feet from the school, I guess that's what is kind of more leaning toward if you're putting we may have bowling alleys and things and right across the streets residential, you know. Um I'm not sure what would be there to protect that. In other words, if you're going to have alcohol sales from now, people going to want the bowling alley, but the idea is, you know, if you're going to be within a certain 300 feet, 500 feet or whatever that then you may have to I'm not sure what you would do, what the process would be. I don't know what you're saying, but that's a consideration. Um but anyway, I think that's more along the question is is is it the sense of reception would probably school residential uh pretty much marijuana I think that sales of that you can't have things within certain I guess that's where the tone of the question is

well for commissioner for chair Hammond and vice chair Shively I can tell you that chapter 19.65 65 of the zoning ordinance regulates alcohol alcoholic beverage sales regulations. So that's kind of the the one-stop shop or the consolidated set of regulations that applies to um regulations for uh alcoholic beverage sales. And so it states, you know, that a a conditional use permit is required for certain um alcohol uses uh as well as a development plan review in certain cases. And it it basically provides certain required findings that would need to be made in order to approve a development plan for a use which involves the sale of alcoholic beverages or to grant a cup for the sale of alcoholic beverages. And um I believe it also has certain distance um at least in the application for the alcohol-related CUP or DPR it requires them to specify the distance from the nearest sensitive receptor. Um, and it does have certain prohibitions like no mini mart, cocktail lounge, liquor store, or service station selling alcoholic beverages shall locate within 1,000 ft of a church, school, park, or playground. Um, and then that's where you've seen we've had other projects where um, you know, they talk about the undue concentration and that's that's part of the mandatory findings for alcohol use. So that's where all of those alcohol regulations come in. I don't think you would necessarily add alcohol regulations in a separate chapter. You would want to kind of keep them consolidated in this chapter. I don't think there's any proposed changes to this chapter in this item before you.

It it doesn't appear that that way, but this chapter being altered to say um alcohol sales in in on premises drinking outside of the 1965. Is that you know is that plausible to do that or is that something that that should be tied together with the two? Are you saying like where this chapter mentions a micro brewery or some some other use that that involves alcohol sales to clarify that the alcoholic sale component of that use would would be subject to chapter 19.65. So any MCUP, so the MCUP application for micro brewery would need to include the required findings being made under 19.65. I think that would already be the case, but that would be like a clarification.

1965, but 1965 doesn't say anything about the uh minor conditional use permits. It just continue with the condition use permits.

So maybe adding uh edits to chapter 19.65 65 to clarify that MCUPS are included as well as CUPs where where CUPs are referenced in 19.65. We could also reference MCUPS or alternatively we could where the changes are made in in these chapters that re that reference micro breweries or any other alcoholic uses. I think micro brewers is the only one that's specifically references alcohol that's included in these proposed chapters. We could say, you know, note that any changes would also be subject to 19.65. Yeah, they should fall within the guidelines of 1965. Yeah, that those those required criteria would need to be met.

And I think any of the MCUs that will have alcohol cells should be still covered under that, like the arcade, the um laser tag, bowling alley, bowling alley. Anything that may have an alcohol like component should still fall within those guidelines. We could reference the section 19.65 65 is part of the land use tables just so that they know that they comply. And then as part of that, we can include a um uh some additional verbiage referencing a minor conditional use permit within 1965 so that the document as a whole is internally consistent.

Um I I do have one more that I hopefully to clarify. Um, ex attachment number four, section 1961, 0 uh 030. I lost it. The revocation section. Yeah.

Yep. Um, subsection B1. clarifi can you clarify the intent of changing plan of commissioner to city and I know you're also adding and provide written report of the findings of state investigation to the review authority clarify that

all right 1961 060 030. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Subsection B1.

I think that goes back to what I was saying earlier about who the process the city shall investigate the facts. Okay. Um, I believe it was changed to city because since we're combining conditional use permit and minor conditional use permit and they both have different approving authorities, it just makes it easy to say the cities. That way it's applicable whether it be planning commission or administratively by the director because it would be confusing to say planning commission or director. So that's why it's um the city implies um the correct approving authority when it comes to either the conditional use permit or the minor conditional use permit. So alternatively, instead of the city, it could say the review authority and not have the red line added at the end of the paragraph. 19.6 Six 130.

It's B1. B1.

Oh, okay. Okay. Well, I better see the city because I don't want to investigate it. That's something you want to do. That would be cold for whoever the case. So, just yeah because it could be any any part of this anyone from the city could delegate to do that. Um, oh that's it for for me just clarification. Um when we talk about these particular uses um and I think we talked about the premeating but the idea are these existing structures that decide they want to become one or these new facilities and new construction because the big difference if I have a quote warehouse there was one instantly for you guys who weren't here on um Harley Knox there was a building the north side and they were produc They were talking about recreational things in that area and the guy never came through. He never had the money. But they were talking about all kind of recreational uses in one but they tore it down the building. Thank goodness they wanted to vandalize but they were talking about recreational basketball all kind of indoor courts right off of the airport and we were ready to prove it. So it is possible. It was possible. So that was even airport zone and they had a time but it was something that the guy proposed and we didn't have a problem with it but it had ran out of money but anyway that's just an example of it has been done in the past. Uh I think going back to my question and lastly if you have existing building constructions for instance you want to you know you want to add a health and fitness thing in there you want to do it but it's existing um is that different than if they want to build it from scratch?

Yes. Yeah. The answer the answer is yes. the if if there's a this is really more applicable to existing buildings. The reason for that is because I if it's a DPR if it's a um new building it would require an additional application and at that point in time the process would be very much kind of analogous to a CUP. So it would require a development plan review and that requires approval uh by the planning commission. Okay.

So at that point you know any request would come before you. This is really the intent here is really for buildings that are existing. Uh but if a new use comes in, new use, not not new building, not new development, then the purpose would be really for to allow it through the MCU process.

Okay. Um if it required, which it probably shouldn't, but if it's if you're in a light industrial zone or well that would be a different process. I won't even go there. But the idea is that if existing buildings you decide you want to change it and become one of these particular things that are here then it would be discretionary approval but you have some specific things. Hopefully we can change recreational areas facilities because I don't know about really holding to 5,000 square feet but at least the idea is to streamline the process um and less is less intensive I think would be the word. So less intensive or impactful um uses. Um if it's something really major then obviously we would be looking at something at a larger scale.

Yeah, that is correct. That's a good point. Uh if there was for instance already let's say a trampoline zone a trampoline

kind of a recreation use on the site and a new recreation use wanted to go in there technically it could be allowed without an approval. Somebody could just go right in since it's a like forl like use. Mhm. I give you example and I'll be quiet. It's the Walmart facility, the old Walmart, but you have trampoline in there. You have fitness next to it. You have trampoline in there. I don't know how successful it is, but it's all in there now. They don't advertise much, but it's in that same building because they had 200 something,000 square feet. So, I think they divided that building up. And you have the shoe on the corner and the um Harbor Freight. Then you have that trampoline that you go in for the backside and that's a use that they that was allowed in there but I don't it didn't come through us. So maybe that was discretionary approval. I'm not sure how that happened but in fact I don't know how they got that in there by coming through us but they but but they it was approved. They were in there. They're in there now. So that may be an example of using that facility that was a me originally a community commercial a neighborhood and allowing that in there because it's falls under the community commercial thing. So in that sense it would make sense um to have that or if someone wanted to come in with a health fitness center not one build one from scratch but utilize something like that. Hopefully not warehouse because you might have some issues environmental. But if you built use a warehouse facilities, god forbid one of them closes, that would be a lot of square footage, but to utilize something like that, you have the pros and nos and prohibited and those kind of areas. So, it's pretty much laid out. But the question I was asking if it was existing and or not existing, it makes a big difference. It's a big difference. of existing buildings. That's that makes an outstanding difference especially if you have tutoring you tend to use facilities that are already there you know um and I can appreciate that so I think it's good from that standpoint okay any other questions

Mr. U not a question but just to follow up with the same section and on 1961.115 section A um you were doing some uh um editorial cleanup. Um, under the third line, uh, I'm not sure if you want to capitalize the director of development services as well. That everything else is capitalized prior to that. And after that, that just may just one missed it. See, third line, uh, item A. Uh, okay.

That's section A. Yeah, I see it. Third line, nothing in this section shall preclude the director of development services. That wants to be capitalized. Just following uh the cleanup. Yeah.

196115 19615 19.61.115. Right. Correct. And that's subsection A capitalize. Okay. He's doing your school function. What is this? He's trying to take over. Okay. Okay. Yeah, that makes sense. A lot of Yeah, the typos. Okay.

Anything else, guys? I think they have quite a list here. I think there may be some We mentioned go-karts and all that thing. I mean, we probably put us about this much. You guys be more younger than I am. So, go cars and then you name it. Uh, I did have one more because there was a section about the structures and colors and architecture and landscaping and all because I it said it should match the surrounding areas, but I know there's areas where we're trying to enhance. So, that would also be under the planning director's perview, right? Correct.

Landscaping as well. I mean, it would have to meet with the compliance of the area, but it would still fall within any minor improvements that don't require approval from the planning commission would be uh would be reviewed and approved by the director of community development because most of the time it's existing buildings already. So it would it's existing buildings. So typically signage

we would look at the landscaping, the condition of the parking lot, um any fencing, anything that's in halfhazard condition, we would typically require that they upgrade or that they improve so that it's you know consistent and hopefully you know obviously improves the appearance of the center. I did want to add lighting. I didn't see lighting, especially if we're going to be using some of these um industrial locations. I know that lighting in parking lots are not usually very bright because they're used during the day. So, I'm just thinking about nighttime use. Just making sure that that's also something that we look at. Um just remember this is a uh the propo the proposal before you today is for um the minor conditional use permit process. So we're not approving um design of a site or a building. So it would be difficult to add that to um a conditional use permit process.

I think just in the description on top because there's a component that talks about right way at the beginning that talks about what we look at and it's the structures the right. So just adding something in there that also references not just the structure and landscaping but also safety or which section

lighting. It was I know was way at the beginning and I don't have the good acrobat so I can't do the control F. It wasn't under necessarily under conditions of approval, but it was see. Do any of you all have the control F so you can do lookup structure? Yeah, me Rafa, do you remember where it was? Cuz I remember there was a part that looked that like

um structures to match the surrounding. It may be one of the findings for the minor cup. I think it was because I'm trying to find it. I remember seeing it pretty early in the

um my guess is that maybe page five of 10 of U 1954. So 1954 subsection See, maybe that's written.

It says uh the architecture the architecture is compatible with community standards and protects character of adjacent development. Is that does that sound like it like that? But then there was another one. Um, landscaping was also bolded in the next. Yeah. And number five, it says the landscaping plan ensures visual relief, provides an attractive environment for the public's enjoyment. Yes. Okay. So, yeah, that's that's under the conditional use permit section 1954.040. So, that's under the findings findings for the conditional use permit.

Okay. parking, signs, utilities, walls and fences. We talk about a lot of things but not really lighting. Yeah. B is architecture. We talk about access, orientation, architecture, landscaping, parking, signs, utilities. Maybe within parking shall be provided consistent with chapter 19.69. Um, I don't remember what 19.69 says about parking. I don't remember if there's any notes on appropriate lighting. Maybe down here 61 19.69 is parking, right, Rafa?

Yes, it's parking, but I don't remember if it specifies anything around. Yeah, there's Yeah, there's a section there for lighting. remember it was just what was it called? The foot lighting the foot candles or I think that's what it said. But

what page are you looking at in the packet in the PDF packet? It's not in here. Um it was Rafa, can you tell us again where 19 point? What was it? We're looking at all those. Uh it's possible that I know we during the last meeting we were talking about some conditions of approval. Yeah. Which one? Which number was it? Because that was I believe the conditions of approval are typically something that included as part of the project that so they wouldn't be here. They would they wouldn't necessarily be in the findings here. In the findings, we have kind of the basic findings, but the conditions of approval have a spec a specific subsession that talks about uplighting. Is that what you're referring to?

I'm referring just about lighting because I know industrial buildings are usually operated during the day. So, the lighting of the parking itself is not usually very bright and I'm thinking about like my daughters leaving a bowling alley at midnight with their friends and the lighting isn't sufficient for safety. So um I'm looking at uh the uh chapter 19.69 parking and there is a provision there that parking area shall have lighting capable of providing illumination for security and safety. Okay, good.

The minimum requirement is one foot candle maintained across the surface of the parking area. uh lighting standard shall be energy efficient and in scale with the height and use of the structure any illumination including security lighting shall utilize uh full it just provides uh but it does specify that enough lighting for safety. Okay. So we don't need to add it because it's under the provision for the findings for parking. Thank you. Just to just to clarify also the one foot candles uh up code prescriptive requirement. It is one foot. Yeah, it's in the parking section.

Okay. Do you think um Good.

Okay. Okay. Okay. I think at this point, thank you first and foremost. Thank you for your presentation. Um there's a lot of amendments so obviously I'm not gonna I'm not not very good at writing but at at the president I would just say that the without going through the whole entire process it is that way I'll summarize it we adopt res 26-04 that the city council determine the project exempt from sequa and we certainly propose will not have an effect on the environment and approve zoning codes 26001 One to amend the Paris Municipal Code to establish, this is the main thing, a minor condition use permit process for lower impact uses based on the findings contained um um uses based on the findings contained therein and there are a lot of amendments to this. Um, but this includes the Pacific Valley, man. Pacific Valley PVCC, the Green Valley. It's getting tongue tied here. I know. And also the downtown specific plan as well. Okay, that's what the DPS means. Try saying that quickly. Okay. Um, there are several amendments and I'm going to miss them, but with help so we can speed up this process, I think. Um, one of them being and there's several here. Um, you talked about the redlinining uh on 264 section 4 in redlinined font and I think there was more than one say there ' 05 and I think also section 0504 uh replace the sentence um changes should be shown again at in the red

lighting should be changed um 19.61.1 61.115 to capitalize. Uh, also bowling alleys. You can help me out with the specifics. Um, arcades with alcohol with arcades with alcohol. Potentially bowling alleys with alcohol with or without. We will make that statement there to show with or without needs to be permitted in these particular categories. Um, you did mention, so it kind of answered my question about appeals. It is in 19.61.030. So, it does mention appeals to the planning commission.

Appeals. I did look that up. It's in 19.54.30 A3. That's what I just had. It states that director decisions can be appealed to the planning commission. So, we would reference that. Yeah. Specifically in this and I think we had a reference to that 15.65. 65 as well, right? For for 19.65, we're going to cross reference it in the notes in the table and also add amendments to the actual chapter 19.65 to reference MCU.

Okay. Uh the lighting of course is is I think is mentioned in there. Okay. Did anything I missed? Yeah. The typo in the one that you talked about was 19.61.03 03 to capitalize the development director. But I would I would just say a quick review of all that to ensure that it's capitalized. Uh to say development director that's type typo stuff. Okay. Did you get the combined micro brewery definition? That's what I was thinking was getting to and I wasn't sure about that. So combine that one. The definition that was shown on the screen earlier. That's the new combined. Yeah,

micro brewery definition with the land use regulations for that category being as shown for the on sale category in the draft reso micro brewery. Okay. Did we get the one where we're going to add these descriptions to the recreational amenities uh definition needs to be amended in the uh Paris Valley Commerce Center specific plan to include trampoline park. Um I think we um golf um miniature golfer tag and laser tag was already included. Okay. It was um

health and fitness center and fitness center and the health and fitness center. Remove it from the parenthetical and put in the definition. All of these are limited to 5,000 square feet. No, I think it was only the fitness center and fitness centers were 5,000. Everything else was Yes. You want a clarification? You said Parish Valley, but are we talking about Green River and the downtown? It's just the PVC. Yeah. Yeah. Because that definition is included in the Paris Valley Commerce Center specific plan. Okay. And if we can also add the uh modifications as writing into the record by um by Ben. Yeah, of course.

Yeah. including the the part about um director having authority to make further edits consistent with the intent of the recommendation prior to going to council and referring to the attachments in section four of each resolution for red showing the red line font as shown in the attachments. Okay, tried to cover it. If I miss something, let me know. and uh correcting uh as Commissioner Menz stated correcting CUP to prohibited for warehouse in the BP zone for chapter 19.44. Okay. Only a few we didn't do

the SQA finding edit that I mentioned at the beginning for section in section 2A of the uh on page 53 of the packet. Um, did we get into the record 196130 B1 change city to review authority? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Change planning commission to city? I think city. Yeah. The city, not the planning commission. That's the key. Yeah. Authorities, not city.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Big difference there. Okay. Um and and ultimately I think hopefully you got all that and I think you always look at the tape too but yeah the I know it's a lot it's really ultimately it's a discretionary review of the development director that's the bottom line and if things need to be appealed they come to us and like the usual process I think that's ultimately streamliness okay I don't have to repeat Anyone like to make a motion to adopt this with the changes and amendments that we've stated? Commissioner M. Jimenez. Okay. And Commissioner Mendes. Yeah. Okay. Oh boy.

Second. You got me on that one. I got Okay. Commissioner Lopez. Yes. Commissioner Jimenez, yes. Commissioner Mennez, yes. Vice Chair Shley, yes. Sher Hammond, yes.

With a vote 5 to zero, this motion is approved.

Thank you very much. And thank you very much for the presentation, sir. Very good. And so we're ready to go. Okay. Uh item seven is public comments. Wow, this will be quick. Anyone in the public who wishes to address the planning commission regarding items not on the agenda may do so at this time and walk up to the podium and wait for the chairperson to recognize you. Seeing none, we'll close the public comments and move on to business items. Any business items? No business items, we move on to item nine, commission updates and announcements. Uh this past weekend we had um Friday the 13th and uh of course Valentine's Day. Um, so I just uh I hope that everybody had a great Valentine's Day spending time with their loved ones and uh um luckily we got pretty good weather weather on Saturday.

Sorry commissioners, we never took opened it up for public comment for the hearing. Oh, you did? Okay. Sorry to interrupt. Okay. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Sorry, Commissioner. Oh, no. You're good. Yeah. I just um I hope that everybody had a good uh Valentine's Day and uh got to spend the holiday with their loved ones. Um uh and uh we got a a wave of cold weather uh suddenly. So I just hope that everybody stays warm out there and and dry with the rain. Um and that everybody has a good night.

I just want to echo those sentiments. I hope everybody had a really great I know a lot of us had three-day weekends, so a great three-day weekend or a regular weekend if you didn't. Um, I I work for a school, so it was it was wonderful. Um, but that's about it. I hope everybody um stays safe, stays warm in these upcoming cold days and rainy days. And that's all I have. Thank you.

Happy Valentine's to everyone. Little delayed. hoping everybody was able to spend time with loved ones, friends, family, significant other, whoever brings joy to your heart. Um, just I echo those two three-day weekends in a row felt phenomenal. Phenomenal. So, if you know, by Shive Le's a little jealous, that's okay. Um, I did also want to promote the Paris Market Night, the culture walks, um, every fourth Saturday of the of the month for 2026 from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. I've been to a couple of these and they are phenomenal. Um, they are amazing. The live music is great. The dancing is great because, you know, we dance, the music is amazing, and just being able to be out and about with so many of our city residents. We get people from outside too. Like the lines are crazy to get in there. Parking is crazy, but it's a wonderful experience because you run into your neighbors and people that are coming out from different parts are also seeing all the amazing things happening in Paris. So, it's I think it's a great um thing to have. I did want to also tell our residents to be on the lookout for updates from the city. I noticed that the hike this weekend was cancelled just because of the weather and the rain. So, um, just take a double look to make sure that the events that we were planning on attending are still happening just because of of the weather. So, everybody stay safe. Bring your pets inside cuz it's really cold. Um, hoping everybody stays warm.

What's three-day weekends? You don't even get weekends. Yeah. Um, I got nothing to report and I apprec uh I I do hope everybody did have a good uh Valentine's Day. Um,

yeah, I'm glad to be here. It's been I think we have one more meeting she's going to talk about and then we have our League of California Cities in March. I'm still they still allow Paris to come which is good or me to come I should say. Okay. Um we did go was it February 7th Mr. Lopez to the Parish depot and they had the tools and like they all if you go inside the depot there's all these old tools. Not you you I'm surprised you say anything.

Yeah. They had all these beautiful tools. They had some Native American dance on stage. Um, and the mayor was there and he g get the proclamation as usual. But the historic society was up there. They got there. They were on the on the stage. They put it together. And so you go through the I it's been once I've been in that museum and they got all these old tools going back to 1800s. There was actually a cyclone in Paris in 1888, which I was shocked. You know, there was a cyclone in Paris. Huh? A cyclone is happening on the seashore. No, it is in Paris. It was 1888. Strange things happened out here. But all the different kind of tools, all that kind of stuff is there. It's there. It shows and and it's probably going to be there for a while. But you see that you would not believe, you know, I don't know. Somebody had these, but all across the walls, all across the site, so it was a very nice event. And it was warmer than usual, but say thank you. And with that, we move it on to the planning managers updates and announcements. Mhm.
