Feb 28, 2023 4:00 PM - Redding Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

>>I DON'T SEE THIS BEING APPLICABLE TO DOWNTOWN PROPERTY. WHAT ARE THE SETBACKS? I DID NOT SEE THEM HERE. >> IT HAS TO BE BEHIND A FENCE THAT'S ALLOWED IN A COMMERCIAL DISTRICT TYPICALLY IT IS ALLOWED AT THE PROPERTY LINE AND THEN IT HAS TO BE SET BACK FOUR FEET BEHIND THAT THE ELECTRIFIED PORTION. IS A MAXIMUM OF EIGHT FEET. I WONDER IF IT'S MIGHT WEAR APPROPRIATE IF YOU HAVE THAT FENCING IN THE INDUSTRIAL OR HEAVY COMMERCIAL LOCATIONS? >> A THOUGHT MIGHT BE IF YOU EXCLUDE IT IN CERTAIN PLAN AREAS LIKE DOWNTOWN >> I WILL TAKE THAT UNDER CONSIDERATION. MY OTHER QUESTION HAS TO DO WITH THE POOL FILTERING. THERE IS NO SETBACKS AND THEY CAN GO UP AGAINST THE COMMON FENCE. WITH THEIR POOL FILTERING SYSTEM? OR ARE THESE SUBJECT TO THE FIVE FOOT TYPICAL SETBACKS >> TYPICALLY IT IS THREE FEET BUT THE REGULATION WE ARE STRIKING OUT THAT IT HAS TO BE SET BACK 30 FEET FROM AN ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL >> IT IS STRUCK OUT ENTIRELY SO YOU HAVE NOT REDUCED IT TO THREE FEET >> IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SET BACK AT LEAST THREE FEET BY ORDINARY SETBACK REGULATIONS. OKAY THANK YOU >> COMMISSIONER HATCH >> I HAVE A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION IF SOMEBODY HAS OLD EQUIPMENT, WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO TAKE OUT OF THE HOUSING IS CURRENTLY REQUIRED BASED ON DELETING THE ORDINANCE? TYPICALLY OLDER EQUIPMENT WILL COMPLY WITH THE ORDINANCE >> IF WE GET RID OF THE ORDINANCE, WILL THAT BE ALLOWED FOR PEOPLE TO ON THE HOUSE THEIR EQUIPMENT? >> I GUESS THEY COULD BUT I DON'T SEE WHY >> BECAUSE THEN THEY WOULD [INDISCERNIBLE] TOO >> I GUESS I WONDER IF WE SHOULD PUT SOME CONDITION IN THERE THAT SAYS OLD EQUIPMENT THAT DOES CREATE NOISE SHOULD STILL BE HOUSED BUT NEW EQUIPMENT GOING FORWARD MAYBE DOES NOT NEED TO BE >> I WILL CHIME IN QUICKLY THIS INTERFACES WITH THE BUILDING DIVISION BECAUSE OFTEN TIMES THAT WE ARE SEEING IS THE NEW PUMPS INSTALLED TO MEET ENERGY REQUIREMENTS ARE VARIABLE SPEED MOTORS THE DECIBEL SPEED LEVELS ARE VERY LOW SO OFTEN IT'S BECOME A PAPER EXERCISE FOR STAFF BECAUSE WITH THE FIT 30 FOOT LIMIT IN THE ZONING CODE THEY HAVE TO FILE FOR VARIANCES OR EXCEPTIONS. AND THEN WE WOULD ALLOW THEM TO INSTALL THE EQUIPMENT BASED ON FINDINGS OF FACT THAT THE VARIABLE SPEED MOTOR WAS QUIET, IT WAS IN A THREE HORSEPOWER MOTOR AND THE NOISE CONCERN WAS MITIGATED THAT WAY. I GUESS TO YOUR POINT IS SOMEBODY IS REPLACING THE OUTDATED MOTORS TO MEET ENERGY REQUIREMENTS AND PULL A PERMIT IT WILL BE A VARIABLE SPEED AND NICE AND QUIET AND THE 30 FOOT SETBACK FROM RESIDENT STAFF FELT IT WAS NOT NECESSARY BECAUSE IT IS OUTDATED. WITH THE NEW MOTORS MEETING ENERGY REQUIREMENTS THE NOISE CONCERN IS NOT THERE ANYMORE >> I'M THINKING MORE ABOUT EXISTING EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD NOT BE REPLACING. THEY DON'T LIKE THE SHED IT IS IN IN THE BACKYARD AND SAY IT'S NO LONGER A REQUIREMENT SO LET'S GET RID OF IT AND LANDSCAPED THE BACKYARD, LET'S TAKE THAT OUT >> THE ZONING CODE HAVE A 30 FOOT SETBACK TO THE RESIDENCE OR ELSE... COVER IT WITH A SHED? IS THAT IN THE CODE? >> THE CODE SAYS 30 FEET FROM YOUR EQUIPMENT TO THE NEIGHBORS. WE WOULD MEASURE IT FROM THE EQUIPMENT TO THE NEIGHBORS WALL >> THE NEIGHBORS HOUSE >> THE NEAREST WALL OF THEIR DWELLING >> YOU HAVE A LOT OF POOL CONTRACTORS THE ONLY PLACE TO PUT THE EQUIPMENT IS ON THE SIDE REAR SETBACK SO THEY HAVE TO MEET THE SIDE YARD SETBACK OF THREE FEET TO FENCE BUT BY THIS ORDINANCE THE 30 FOOT REQUIREMENT ZONING CODE ELIMINATES THE POSSIBILITY FOR THE POOL CONTRACTOR. YOU END UP HAVING EQUIPMENT IN THE FAR CORNER OF THE PROPERTY EARL ON THE OTHER SIDE. YOU HAVE A VARIABLE SPEED MOTOR YOU CAN'T HEAR WHEN YOU ARE STANDING FIVE FEET FROM IT. THE REGULATION DID NOT SEEM TO BE SUITING THE PURPOSE ANY FURTHER. I DON'T THINK THE ZONING CODE SPEAKS TO HOUSING YOUR EQUIPMENT >> IT DOES. IT SAYS THE FILTERING SYSTEM AND HEATING EQUIPMENT SHALL NOT BE LOCATED CLOSER THAN 30 FEET TO ANY DWELLING OTHER THAN THE OWNERS OR THEY SHALL BE ENCLOSED TO ATTENUATE THE NOISE LEVELS ON ABUTTING PROPERTIES >> SO WE COULD LEAVE THE SECOND HALF OF THE LANGUAGE BUT STRIKE THE 30 FOOT? >> YES >> I WOULD AGREE >> QUICK QUESTION WE ARE TALKING ABOUT INSTALLATION THOUGH? RIGHT? THIS IS WHEN IT IS BEING INSTALLED BEING NEW EQUIPMENT >> IF WE TOOK IT DOWN FOR OLD AND SOME IS NOT TAKING OUT INTENTIONALLY. THEY COLLAPSE OR DETERIORATE. THEY FALL AWAY. >> YOU WANT THE NEW ONES TO BE ENCLOSED. IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO BE ENCLOSED. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WOULD DO THAT RETROACTIVELY. IT WOULD ONLY BE IF THEY GET A NEW PERMIT ON SOMETHING WE WOULD NOTICE THAT WAS AN ISSUE, CORRECT? I'M TRYING TO THINK PROCEDURALLY HERE >> CORRECT. WE WOULD NOT KNOW WITH SOMEONE REMOVED HOUSING FROM AN EXISTING PUMP. SAY THEY HAVE A 20 OR 10-YEAR-OLD PUMP UNLESS A NEIGHBOR COMPLAINED. WE POINTED TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE THAT SAYS YOUR EQUIPMENT NEEDS TO BE HOUSED. IF WE KEEP THAT IN AND THERE'S NO WEATHER 30 FOOT NEW INSTALLS WOULD HAVE TO BE HOUSED, WHICH I DON'T THINK IT IS THE INTENT OF THE STAFF [INDISCERNIBLE] >> IT'S MORE THE REALITY OF EVERY TIME YOU PROCESS A BUILDING PERMIT FOR A POOL THIS IS AN ISSUE, THE 30 FOOT ISSUE AND IT SEEMS LIKE AN OUTDATED ISSUE BECAUSE THE NEW POOL EQUIPMENT IS VERY QUIET AND ENERGY-EFFICIENT BY BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS. THE 30 FOOT RULE CONSTRAINS THE CONTRACTORS ABILITY TO PLACE EQUIPMENT ON SITE. A LOT OF TIME INSPECTORS CAPTURED IN THE FIELD OR BUILDING POOL CONTRACTORS WILL INDICATE THEY INSTALL EQUIPMENT HERE AND THEN YOU GO OUT AND THEY INSTALL IT SOMEPLACE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND ENCROACH ON THE 30 FOOT REQUIREMENT. IT IS TOUGH FOR US AND IT DOES NOT SEEM APPLICABLE ANYMORE GIVEN TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE >> ARE YOU GOOD? OKAY. FURTHER QUESTIONS? I THINK THE ONLY ONE I HAD WAS A GENERAL IN REGARDS TO ELECTRIFIED FENCES. WE WOULD NOT BE ADDRESSING IT IF IT HAD NOT COME UP. I WAS CURIOUS VOLUME WISE, WE HAD ONE REQUEST FOR THIS OR MULTIPLE, IN GENERAL, WE DON'T NEED SPECIFICS BUT WHAT WERE THE USES WERE THEY ON THE INDUSTRIAL SIDE COMMERCIAL SIDE RETAIL? AND TO COMMISSIONER GOEDERT'S POINT, I WONDERED NONRESIDENTIAL USES, THAT IS PUBLIC FACILITIES AND NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL. NOT NECESSARILY APPLY BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT IT NEEDS TO BE TOO RESTRICTIVE I'M CURIOUS TO HAVE COME TO THE COUNTER TO INQUIRE >> ON HEAVY COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL TYPE ZONE. THE ONE WE ARE LOOKING AT IS WAY NORTH UP ON CATERPILLAR WHERE IT IS GENERAL INDUSTRIAL, LARGER PIECE OF PROPERTY, 10 ACRE PROPERTY HARD TO MAINTAIN SECURITY, THOSE TYPE OF PROPERTIES WHERE THEY ARE STORING THINGS OUTDOORS. PEOPLE GET IN AND STEAL >> IT'S A REAL ISSUE SO OKAY. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE, WITH THAT WE CAN OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING >> IF ANYONE HAS IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS ON 4B1. CORRECT? YES. >> I HAVE KATHY GRINDSTAFF. IS IT THE ON THIS ITEM? IF ANYONE ELSE WISHES TO SPEAK, WE HAVE BLUE SPEAKER CARDS IN THE BACK >> PLEASE KEEP IT TO THREE MINUTES >> I HAVE A LITTLE EXPERIENCE SPEAKING BEFORE NOT ONLY YOU BUT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CITY COUNCIL'S GOT IT. I DID NOT COME HERE WITH THE PREPARED SPEECH BUT I DO READ EVERYTHING THAT COMES BEFORE YOU. I HAVE ONE LITTLE ISSUE WITHIN THIS THING. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT REDUCING FLAGPOLE HEIGHTS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS. I WANT YOU TO EXPLAIN TO ME AND MY HUSBAND WHO IS A VIETNAM VETERAN THAT NOW NEEDS TO REDUCE HIS FLAGPOLE HEIGHT FROM 20 FEET TO 16 WHEN TREES AROUND US ARE TALLER THAN THAT. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME WHY ALL OF THE SUDDEN I HAVE TO GET A PERMIT TO FLY A FLAG IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA WHEN I CAN DRIVE DOWN TO 73 AND SEE AT LEAST THREE SIGNS ADVERTISING POT. SO TELL ME HOW THIS MAKES IT RIGHT BECAUSE I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS >> I CAN ADDRESS THAT. SO GOING FORWARD, THE NEW CODE AMENDMENTS APPLY FOR ALL POLES PERMITS MOVING FORWARD. ALL THOSE ALREADY ERECTED WOULD BE LEGAL NONCONFORMING GRANDFATHERED IN NO ONE WOULD NEED TO COME IN AND APPLY FOR A PERMIT TO REDUCE THE HEIGHT >> GOOD TO KNOW >> YOU ARE GOOD TO GO MOVING FORWARD AND I WONDERED THE SAME THING. MY INITIAL INCLINATION WAS TO BUMP THIS TO 20 BUT IT IS FOR THE PERMITTING PROCESS >> INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH YOU CAN'T FIND POLES LESS THAN 20. JUST SO YOU KNOW >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH >> ARE THERE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS? I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING THE ITEM BACK TO THE COMMISSION >> ARE THERE ANY OTHER FEEDBACK COMMENTARY QUESTIONS? >> A COUPLE OF COMMENTS. AT THE POOL, WITH THE POOL ISSUE, I WANT TO SAY KUDOS TO STAFF. IT'S VERY HARD TO EVER GET ANYTHING TAKEN OUT OR MADE EASIER SO LOVE THAT. WITH THE ELECTRIFIED FENCING, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES ME, THAT I LIKE THE FLEXIBILITY OF IT IS THAT [INDISCERNIBLE] PROPERTY ADJOINING OR NEXT TO THE RAILROAD. THAT WOULD BE AN IDEAL BUT IT'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF DOWNTOWN. IDEAL PLACE FOR THAT SORT OF THING. NOBODY WHO IS, WITH GOOD INTENTIONS WOULD EVER BE BACK THERE, HOPPING A FENCE OR DOING ANYTHING. SO BECAUSE WE HAVE THESE UNIQUE FEATURES DISTRIBUTED THROUGH TOWN, I'M INCLINED TO LEAVE THE FLEXIBILITY ON THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE. PARTICULARLY BECAUSE OF THINGS LIKE THE RAILROAD GOING THROUGH DOWNTOWN. THERE IS NO REASON A PASSERBY OR KID WOULD NEED TO BE BACK THERE. I COULD SEE IT BEING A GREAT BENEFIT FOR A PROPERTY IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER GOEDERT >> THIS IS IN REGARD TO THE FENCING. WOULD THE FOOD TRUCK PARK DOWNTOWN ALONG THE RAILROAD TRACK BE A CANDIDATE FOR AN ELECTRIFIED FENCE? >> I BELIEVE IT IS ZONED PF SO WE HAVE NOT EXCLUDED IT >> PERSONALLY, AND I'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BUSINESSES DOWNTOWN OR ARE DOWNTOWN ADVOCATES, THIS WHOLE IDEA OF FENCING OFF PARKS IS NOT SOMETHING WE SUPPORT OR APPRECIATE. I KNOW IT IS A SIGN OF THE TIMES BUT IT IS SAD. THE IDEA YOU CAN ELECTRIFY PARKS IS A BIT TOO MUCH FOR ME. I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE IN COMMERCIAL AREAS MYSELF. CAN WE VOTE ON THESE ITEMS SEPARATELY OR WILL IT BE A BLANKET VOTE? >> YOU CAN VOTE ON THEM SEPARATELY >> OR WE COULD PULL ONE OFF AND DO THE REST OF YOU WANT TO DO IT THAT WAY. WE CAN SPLIT IT INTO A COUPLE OF MOTIONS INSTEAD OF MAKING SIX. WE COULD DO SOMETHING, WE COULD VOTE TO APPROVE WITH AMENDMENT TO ANY ONE OF THE ITEMS. I'D BE WILLING TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION. WE CAN SLICE AND DICE IT HOWEVER WE NEED. >> COMMISSIONER GREENE >> I'M LOOKING AT THE COMMENT THAT THE ZONING ORDINANCE IS SILENT ON NONRESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS GENERALLY WHEN WE ARE SILENT THAT GIVES THE DEPARTMENT LEEWAY TO FIND SOLUTIONS FOR PROPERTY OWNERS. BECAUSE IT SAYS NOTHING IS AVAILABLE TO THEM OR IF SOMEONE COMES TO THE COUNTER TODAY IN A COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL ZONE WITH AND ASK FOR AN ELECTRIFIED FENCE WHAT ARE THEIR OPTIONS >> GENERAL PRACTICE IS WE DEEM IT PROHIBITIVE. BECAUSE WE DON'T FEEL WE HAVE LATITUDE TO APPROVE IT >> THANK YOU >> IN GENERAL, THE WAY MOST ZONING CODES WORK IS UNLESS USE IS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED IT IS PROHIBITED >> DO WE WISH TO HAVE A MOTION ON ANY OF THE ITEMS? >> WE CAN SEPARATE ONE OUT IF WE NEED TO >> IS THE FENCING, THE ELECTRIFIED FENCING A PERMIT PROCESS OR IS IT ALLOWED BY RIGHT >> THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT. AS LONG AS THEY MEET THE ZONING CODE CRITERIA. >> OKAY, SO JEREMY WITH THE PERMIT CENTER TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION ITS PROXIMITY TO OTHER LOCATIONS AND ITS APPROPRIATENESS OR WOULD YOU TREAT EVERYTHING EQUALLY >> IT WOULD BE IN ADMINISTERIAL PERMIT. WE'D BE LOOKING AT HEIGHTS OF THE FENCE STRUCTURAL DESIGN ETC. BUT NOT ANY DISCRETIONARY IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU ARE ASKING >> FURTHER QUESTIONS OR A MOTION? >> I WILL MAKE A MOTION. I UNDERSTAND THE RATIONALE WANTING TO SEE [INDISCERNIBLE] BUT I CAN'T SEE SOMEBODY, AGAIN I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THE SAFETY, THE PRACTICAL SAFETY OF IT. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING ENDANGERING SOMEBODY'S LIVE. THIS IS A WARNING. I ALSO CAN'T SEE SOMEBODY GOING THROUGH THE TIME AND EXPENSE OF PUTTING SOMETHING UP IN AN AREA LIKE THE PARK THAT WAS MENTIONED. THAT SEEMS HARD FOR ME. I MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT STAFF RECOMMENDATION ON ALL OF THE ITEMS >> SECOND >> WE HAVE A FIRST AND A SECOND. FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? SEEING NONE, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND HAVE THE VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES >> WITH THAT, WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION ITEM 5 A. THIS IS REGARDING GENERAL PLAN UPDATE, THE DRAFT COMMUNITY HEALTH WELLNESS AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT >>. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS STAFF AND RESIDENTS THE COMMUNITY HEALTH WELLNESS AND JUSTICE ELEMENT KNOWN AS THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE DEVELOPED BY THE OFFICE OF PLANNING AND RESEARCH PROPOSED FOR PLANNING AND EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES. IT IS REQUIRED ALL CITIES AND COUNTIES TO INCORPORATE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE UPON LOCAL JURISDICTION GENERAL PLAN PROVIDED THE JURISDICTION IDENTIFIES ONE OR MORE DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES IN THEIR CITY. THE DOCUMENT PROVIDED A SET OF CRITERIA [INDISCERNIBLE] THE PROCESS WHICH WE WILL BE GOING OVER TODAY. COMMUNITIES IN CALIFORNIA DISCRIMINATION THROUGH UNJUST LAND-USE POLICIES SINCE THE 1700S. IN 1988 THE RESIDENTS OF THAT [INDISCERNIBLE] PROTESTED AGAINST THE TOXIC WASTE INCINERATOR AT THE DUMP SITE FILING A LAWSUIT TO WITHDRAW PLANS THIS GAVE RISE TO ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE INITIATIVES ACROSS THE STATE THE STATE ADOPTED SEVERAL LAWS AND PROGRAMS TO PROMOTE AND INCORPORATE JUSTICE [INDISCERNIBLE] THE STATE RECOGNIZES THAT PLANNING HAS THE POWER TO INFLUENCE HEALTH AND EQUITY OUTCOMES ACROSS COMMUNITIES AND PASSED A SENATE BILL 1000 SECTION 6532H OBJECTIVES AND GUIDANCE FOR JURISDICTIONS AS THEY WORK TOWARD A MORE JUST FUTURE. GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION [INDISCERNIBLE] DEFINES DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES THAT IS IDENTIFIED BY THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, SECTION 39711 OF THE HEALTH & SAFETY CODE LOW INCOME AREA DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION AND OTHER HAZARDS THAT CAN LEAD TO NEGATIVE HEALTH EFFECTS EXPOSURE OR [INDISCERNIBLE] RECOMMENDS. DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES ANALYSIS THE FIRST IS CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING TO EXAMINE WHETHER THE PLANNING AREA FOR THE [INDISCERNIBLE] COMBINED SCORE OF 75 PERCENT OR HIGHER. SECOND MAPPING AND HOUSING HOUSEHOLD MEDIAN INCOME BY CENSUS TRACT IN THE PLANNING AREA AT OR BELOW STATEWIDE MEDIAN INCOME AND EXAMINING THE [INDISCERNIBLE] THIRD, MAPPING THE HOUSEHOLD MEDIAN INCOME BY CENSUS TRACT IN THE PLANNING AREA AT OR BELOW THE STATE INCOME LEVELS AND FINALLY INCORPORATING THE ANALYSIS AND ANALYZING COMMUNITY DATA FOR ADDITIONAL BURDEN AND [INDISCERNIBLE]. WE USE THE SAME PROCESS IT FOR ALL ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT. ANALYZING THE DATA AVAILABLE WE IDENTIFIED FOUR COMMUNITIES. LET'S GO OVER THE DATA AND THE POLLUTION BURDEN OF THE COMMUNITIES. [INDISCERNIBLE] IS INCONCLUSIVE AS IT IS RELATIVE IN THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF THE DATA CENSUS TRACT 10100 AND 10900. 63 AND 64 RESPECTIVELY WE BROKE DOWN THE DATA WE GOT AND WE ARRIVED AT FOUR DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH RISKS. THE FIRST IS DIESEL PARTICULATE MATTER. THE CENSUS TRACT 1000 AND 10703 HAD THE HIGHEST EXPOSURE. THE SECOND WAS LEAD, 10200 HAD THE HIGHEST LEAD EXPOSURE OF 79.6. THE THIRD IS CENSUS TRACT 1010010200 AND 10500 HAVE THE HIGHEST CLEANUP SITES AND CENSUS TRACT 10100 AND 10500 HAVE THE HIGHEST PERCENT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE. ADDITIONALLY RECOGNIZED TRIBAL COMMUNITIES AS DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES THE AREA WITHIN ONE HALF-MILE OF THE RESERVATION IS ELIGIBLE FOR CAP AND TRADE FUNDS BUT NOT CONSIDERED A DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY. THE IDENTIFIED DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES ARE CENSUS TRACT 1010010703 10200 10500. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS UP TO THIS POINT? OKAY. THE GUIDELINES PROVIDE US A CITATION CHECKLIST FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT REDUCING EXPOSURE TO POLLUTION AND REDUCING AIR QUALITY [INDISCERNIBLE] PROMOTING HEALTHY FOOD ACCESS PROMOTING SAFE AND SANITARY HOMES PROMOTING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY REDUCING HEALTH RISK PROMOTING CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND PRIORITIZING IMPROVEMENTS., BASED ON THIS WE'VE GOT SIX DIFFERENT SECTIONS THE FIRST IS EQUITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE. EJ ONE IS WHAT WE WILL DISCUSS UNDER THIS TOPIC.

EJ TO RECOGNIZE THAT REDDING DOES NOT CONSIST OF A SINGLE HOMOGENOUS COMMUNITY AND INCOME DISPARITIES HEALTH ISSUES TRANSPORTATION LIMITATIONS HOUSING INADEQUACIES IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS CAN RESULT IN DISPROPORTIONATE ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER IMPACTS ON RESIDENTS. PERIODICALLY MONITOR AND ASSESS CONDITIONS DETERMINE APPROPRIATE CRITERIA FOR INCLUSION OF COMMUNITIES NOT CURRENTLY LISTED AND BUILD AND MAINTAIN SPECIFIC DATA. BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE FIRST TOPIC? WE ARE GOOD >> THE SECOND TOPIC IS ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS. EJ THREE AND EJ FOUR, THE FIRST IS REDUCING EXPOSURE TO AIR POLLUTION AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS. NUMBER FOUR IS ABOUT MITIGATING THE EFFECTS OF EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS. EJ THREE REDUCE EXPOSURE TO AIR POLLUTION AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND INCORPORATE STRATEGIES TO REDUCE THE UNIQUE COMPOUNDED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND RISKS IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. INSURE ADEQUATE BUFFERING TO PROTECT SENSITIVE LAND USES PARTNER WITH AGENCIES TO DEVELOP REFUGEE CENTERS CONSIDER ADOPTION OF A CLIMATE ACTION PLAN EDUCATE RESIDENCE ON THE RISK OF EXPOSURE AND MITIGATION MEASURES SUPPORT IMPROVEMENTS THAT CAN REDUCE NOISE AND AIR QUALITY IMPACTS OF VEHICLES AND DISCOURAGE LOCATING TRUCK ROUTES ON PRIMARY RESIDENTIAL STREETS. NUMBER FOUR STRIVE TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF EXTREME WEATHER SUCH AS SUMMER HEAT AND EXCESSIVE COLD THROUGH QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE GOALS FOR BUILT AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS WITH A FOCUS ON UNDERSERVED AND VULNERABLE RESIDENTS. DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT URBAN TREE RETENTION AND PLANTING STRATEGIES. CONSIDER ESTABLISHING AN URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IMPLEMENTED EXTREME HEAT AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS PARTNER WITH EXTREME WEATHER PREP RUDENESS PROGRAM CONSIDER ADAPTIVE REUSE OF FACILITIES TO SERVE AS SHELTERS.

ENSURE THE PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES ARE LOCATED DISTRIBUTED WELL-MAINTAINED AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL RESIDENTS. ENSURE CONTINUATION OF THE EFFECTIVE SERVICES DELIVERY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES.

MY QUESTION HAS TO DO WITH DJ EIGHT K IN COORDINATION WITH ORGANIZATIONS EXPLORE OPPORTUNITIES TO ELIMINATE OR REDUCE THE USE OF TOBACCO ALCOHOL AND ILLICIT DRUGS BY THE YOUTH. I WOULD PUT A PERIOD AFTER ILLICIT DRUGS AND NOT JUST LIMITED TO THE COMMUNITY YOUTH. >> OKAY THANK YOU >> IT'S A COMMUNITYWIDE PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS ADULTS ELDERLY AS WELL AS... >> THANK YOU >> ON THAT SAME NOTE, IN ADDITION TO CALLING OUT TOBACCO AND ALCOHOL AND ILLICIT DRUGS SINCE MARIJUANA IS NOT CONSIDERED AN ILLICIT DRUG AT THIS POINT I WONDER IF WE INCLUDE MARIJUANA AS WELL >> COMMISSIONER GREENE >> I THINK FOR 8K, MY CONCERN IN REMOVING COMMUNITY YOUTH IS THAT TOBACCO MARIJUANA AND ALCOHOL ARE ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES FOR USE IN THE STATE. WHILE THE ABUSE OF THEM IS A BURDEN FOR THE COMMUNITY THE USE OF THEM IS NOT SOMETHING WE ARE HERE TO RESTRICT >> DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE USE TO ABUSE? >> I'M JUST KEEPING COMMUNITY YOUTH IN THE COMMENT >> IS THERE REFERENCES ELSEWHERE IN THE DOCUMENT AS TO THE ABUSE OF THOSE ITEMS? >> NO WE DO HAVE SOME LANGUAGE IN THE HEALTH AND SAFETY ELEMENT >> WHICH ELEMENT? >> THE HEALTH AND SAFETY ELEMENT >> ALL RIGHT >> I HAVE ONE QUESTION MYSELF ON EIGHT B PROMOTE ACCESS TO MENTAL AND PHYSICAL SERVICES AND PREVENTATIVE TREATMENTS CLINICS ETC. ETC. OFF-SITE HEALTH CLINICS AND WORKSHOPS FOR RESIDENTS INCLUDING EXPANSION OF STREET MEDICINE. CAN YOU EXPAND ON THAT? I THOUGHT THAT HAD TO DO WITH 8K BUT MAYBE NOT. I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH STREET MEDICINE >> STREET MEDICINE IS GETTING ACCESS TO MEDICINE FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE ACCESS. PEOPLE GO TO THEIR HOUSES AND PROVIDE MEDICINE. I HAD TO LOOK IT UP MYSELF >> I FEEL BETTER THANKS >> COMMISSIONER GOEDERT >> I WANTED TO GO BACK TO ONE OF THE PREVIOUS ITEMS. EJ1G, THAT SPEAKS ABOUT ENSURING RESIDENTS LOCAL INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES RECEIVE TIMELY NOTICE IN REGARDS TO GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT SUBDIVISION MAPS, IS THE INTENT OF THAT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE GETTING TIMELY NOTICE AS ANY OTHER RESIDENT OR CITIZEN WOULD GET. IF YOU ARE WITHIN 300 FEET YOU GET THE NOTICE. OR IS THE INDIGENOUS POPULATION TO RECEIVE NOTICE ON EVERY PLANNING COMMISSION ITEM HAVING TO DO WITH AMENDMENTS AND ZONING ORDINANCE. NOT CLEAR WHAT THE INTENT IS DO YOU FOLLOW ME? >> THIS IS SPECIFIC TO CERTAIN TOPICS THEY'VE LISTED HERE. IT'S NOT FOR ALL THE PROJECTS. WHETHER WE NEED TRIBAL CONSULTATION IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO ACHIEVE TO GET THROUGH THE PROJECT IS WHY THEY HAVE LISTED THIS POLICY >> SO ANY TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP WOULD HAVE TO BE THE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY, IS THE IDEA THAT THERE MAY BE ARCHAEOLOGICAL? DON'T WE PROVIDE FOR INPUT? I'M NOT SAYING DON'T DO IT I'M JUST TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND IT >> PROVIDED THERE ARE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES IN THE AREA. [INDISCERNIBLE] WHICH IS WHY WE'VE INCLUDED THE LANGUAGE HERE >> COMMISSIONER GOEDERT >> I WILL COME BACK, I'M LOOKING FOR MY NOTES >> COMMISSIONER HATCH >> I DID HAVE A QUESTION IN TERMS OF HOW THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN, I KNOW IN CEQA WE ARE REQUIRED TO NOTICE INDIGENOUS TRIBES. WHAT I'M WONDERING HERE, IT DOES SAY AND I'M NOT SURE IF THE VERBIAGE IS CORRECT, IT SAYS FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED AND NON-RECOGNIZED. IS THAT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY REQUIRED TO DO? >> WE ARE CURRENTLY REQUIRED UNDER CEQA TO GO THROUGH CERTAIN NOTIFICATIONS. THIS IS ONE STEP REMOVED FROM CEQA. THIS SUGGESTS GIVEN THE LONG HISTORY WITH THE NATIVE TRIBES IN THE COMMUNITY AND OF COURSE ALL OVER CALIFORNIA, ONE STEP FURTHER, AND PROVIDE SPECIFIC NOTIFICATION. OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE NUMBER OF TRIBES IS NOT LIKE ISSUING THE NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR WITHIN 300 FEET, THERE'S A LOT OF TRIBES OUT THERE TO NOTICE WHO MAY WANT TO COMMENT SO WE GIVE THEM EXTRA TIME SEEMS TO BE THE BEST WAY TO APPROACH IT. THE CEQA PROCESS WILL STILL WORK AS IT ALWAYS DOES >> I THINK THAT'S EXCELLENT. CERTAINLY GIVEN THE PAST HISTORY HERE AND THE CURRENT NATIVE GROUPS THAT LIVE HERE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE UNRECOGNIZED TRIBES, I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT WE KEEP THAT THERE >> LET ME SAY WE DID HAVE THIS DISCUSSION IN THE LAST MEETING I GUESS THAT CORRECTION DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE NOTES. WE ASKED THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE LOCAL TRIBES HOW THEY WOULD LIKE THAT. SHOULD IT BE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES? RECOGNIZE HIM RECOGNIZE TRIBES. THE RECOMMENDATION TO STAFF WAS [INDISCERNIBLE] TRIBES AND THAT APPLIES TO SHASTA COUNTY AND EVERYTHING IN REDDING SO EVERYTHING WE TALK ABOUT SHOULD BE CHANGED TO THE TRIBES >> I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA >> VERY QUICKLY IF I MAY FOLLOW UP WE HAVE THE MECHANISM IN PLACE TO DO THE NOTIFICATION. WE RECOGNIZE TRIBES LIKELY HAVE NAME PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS FOR THE NONRECOGNIZED TRIBES >> FOR NONRECOGNIZED TRIBES WE HAVE THE MECHANISM TO DO THE NOTIFICATION >> THROUGH THE STATE, WE CAN HAVE THAT INFORMATION >> COMMISSIONER GOEDERT >> THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT >> ON PAGE 1, PACKET PAGE 56 THE STRIKEOUT VERSION OF THE DRAFT, THIS COMMUNITY HEALTH WELLNESS ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT IS DESIGNED TO SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY CORRECT? YES. SO I'M TAKING OBJECTION TO THE FIRST PARAGRAPH PURPOSE AND CONTENT WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT HEALTH ISSUES RESULTING FROM DISPARITIES. THE STRIKEOUT WAS JUST HEALTH ISSUES IN GENERAL AFFECTING THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE AND HEALTHY DIET EXPOSURE. OBESITY IN THIS COMMUNITY IS NOT BOUNDED BY SOCIOECONOMIC. IT'S A PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD. SO I'M JUST WONDERING WHY OUT OF THE CHUTE WE ARE LIMITING THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS TO ONLY DISPARITIES? >> THAT WAS LANGUAGE RECOMMENDED BY THE JUSTICE FOCUS GROUP WE WORKED WITH. YOU ARE FREE TO SUGGEST OTHER LANGUAGE, YOUR POINT IS WELL TAKEN >> I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ON THAT, WHEN WE WERE GOING OVER THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY ELEMENT, IT WAS DISCUSSED THAT THE WELLNESS PART WOULD BE INCORPORATED INTO THE DRAFT. I DIDN'T NECESSARILY SEE A ONE-FOR-ONE BRINGING OVER FROM THAT ELEMENT TO THIS ELEMENT. MAYBE WE DID NOT GET THERE IN THE CONVERSATION. I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THAT WAS IN FACT DONE >> YES WE DID. WE MOVED A FEW POLICIES FROM THE HEALTH AND SAFETY TO THIS ELEMENT. SO IT'S INCORPORATED WITHIN THE OTHERS >> I SEE A LOT OF LOGIC AND HAVING THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT TO STAND ON ITS OWN BECAUSE IT IS AKIN TO DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES INTO COMMISSIONER GOEDERT POINT, HAVING THE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND SAFETY COMBINED MADE MORE SENSE TO ME BECAUSE IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT WE CALL OUT ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT IT IS REQUIRED UNDER THE OPR GUIDELINES THAT WE DO THIS THAT WE CALL IT OUT SPECIFICALLY FOR DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES >> THE WAY WE DESIGN THIS IN ADDITION TO WHAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED AS DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES THERE ARE CERTAIN RISKS, AND FOR EVERY [INDISCERNIBLE] PROMOTING HEALTH HEALTHY FOOD ACCESSES ONE EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS IS ANOTHER. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE PROPERLY ADDRESS FOR EVERY RESIDENT AND NOT JUST DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES WHICH IS HOW THIS ELEMENT [INDISCERNIBLE] >> I JUST FEEL LIKE IT MUDDIES IT BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT WE CALL OUT THOSE DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. BUT IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO CALL OUT SOME OF THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS FOR EVERY BODY >> YES. ANOTHER THING IS IDENTIFIED HERE IS POPULATION. [INDISCERNIBLE] IS NOT FALL INTO THESE FOUR CENSUS TRACTS WE'VE IDENTIFIED SO FAR. IS IMPORTANT WE KEEP IT [INDISCERNIBLE] >> IF I MAY, I'D SAY IF WE GO DOWN THAT ROAD TOO FAR, OPR TALKS ABOUT THE GOALS AND POLICIES OF THE ELEMENTS SPEAKING SPECIFICALLY TO THE DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED. WE'VE ONLY IDENTIFIED FOUR WHICH IS A SMALL GEOGRAPHIC AREA OF THE WHOLE CITY. IF WE FOCUSED IN ON GOALS AND POLICIES THAT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS THOSE IDENTIFIED DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES YOU'D HAVE A NARROW ELEMENT AT THE END. STAFF WRESTLED WITH THAT PURPOSEFULLY AS WELL AS THE FOCUS GROUPS TO BROADEN THE ELEMENT, PROBABLY MORE BROAD THAN JUST THE IDENTIFIED COMMUNITIES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION. IT'S A BIT OF A BALANCING ACT. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S FARE TO SAY >> WE HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH THE FOCUS GROUP AT FOUR DIFFERENT MEETINGS. THERE WERE A FEW WHO SAID YES. WE HAD A FEW WHO OBJECTED. THE BIGGER IDEA IS [INDISCERNIBLE] READING DEMOGRAPHICS IS MAJOR WE HAVE SENIORS YOUTH AND CHILDREN. WE WANTED TO INCLUDE THEM AS PART OF THE WHOLE CONTEXT WHICH IS WHY WE INITIALLY SUGGESTED WE EXPAND THE TITLE OF THE ELEMENT TO DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES TO INCLUDE COMMUNITIES AND VULNERABLE POPULATION. WE DID NOT WANT TO LIMIT IT RIGHT NOW SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW WITH THE WHOLE THING >> I THINK THE LOW WAS FAR THE STATE SET IN TERMS OF OPR IS THE ELEMENT MUST ADDRESS GOALS AND POLICIES TO ADDRESS DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. I THINK STAFF AS WELL AS THE FOCUS GROUP TOOK AN EFFORT TO GO BEYOND THAT IN TERMS OF MAKING AN ELEMENT MORE BROAD AND TOUCHES ON MORE TOPICS >> I APPRECIATE THE EXPLANATION >> COMMISSIONER GOEDERT >> I'M GOING TO MAKE A SUGGESTION UNDERSTANDING WE WILL COME BACK TO IT WHEN THERE'S A MOTION, IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WOULD BE MORE INCLUSIVE OF OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY IF WE PUT BACK IN THE STRIKEOUT LANGUAGE. IT SAYS OTHER HEALTH ISSUES RESULTING FROM A EXPOSURE TO CONTAMINANTS PARTICULATE MATTER AND POOR AIR QUALITY. AND THE NEXT SENTENCE WOULD SAY THIS ELEMENT RECOGNIZES DISPARITIES ACCESSING AMENITIES THAT ALLOW FOR AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE. YOU GET BOTH OF THEM IN THERE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME RECOGNIZING THE GOOD HEALTH IS A GOAL FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY >> THANK YOU >> ANYTHING ELSE? WE AREN'T GOING TO HAVE A MOTION AT THE END SO TAKING THAT INTO ACCOUNT NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO DO THAT >> ANYTHING FURTHER? ON SECTION 8? ON 29 >> THIS IS THE LAST PART OF THE PRESENTATION HEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS PROMOTE LAND-USE PATTERNS URBAN DESIGN AND NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF COHESIVE SAFE AND HEALTHIER NEIGHBORHOODS. CONSIDER TARGETED APPROACHES TO LAND-USE PLANNING FOCUSING ON MASTERING STRATEGIC PLAN TO PRIORITIZE IMPROVEMENTS SUPPORT INVESTMENT IN UNDERSERVED AREAS TO BECOME MORE VIBRANT AND COHESIVE CONSIDER AND INTEGRATE PERSPECTIVE OF COMMUNITY GROUPS AND LAND-USE PLANNING EFFORTS COLLABORATE TO PROMOTE THE OVERALL WELL-BEING OF RESIDENTS PROMOTE SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT DAILY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE BEHAVIOR >> ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION APPRECIATE IT. WITH THAT, WHY DON'T WE GO AHEAD. LET'S SEE, LET'S SEE HOW WE WANT TO GO ABOUT THIS. WE HAVE NINE SECTIONS SOME OF THE OTHER ELEMENTS WERE BROKEN UP NICELY INTO SUBSECTIONS. I STRUGGLED WITH THIS ONE TO SEE EXACTLY HOW THAT MAY DO THAT, ALMOST WONDERING IF WE WANT TO GO THROUGH THEM ONE AT A TIME TO SEE IF WE HAVE FURTHER COMMENTS AND DIRECTION FOR STAFF. PRIOR TO DOING THAT WE MAY WANT TO SOLICIT COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC. AND THEN WE CAN GO THROUGH THE ITEMS ONE THROUGH NINE. SOUND GOOD? WITH THAT, WE ARE NOT HAVING AN OFFICIAL PUBLIC HEARING THAT WE ARE HERE TO GET INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC. I SEE MULTIPLE MEMBERS FROM THE GROUP HERE TODAY I APPRECIATE THAT. WHAT TO SEE IF ANYONE WANTS TO COME UP AND GIVE COMMENT OR DIRECTION REGARDING THE ELEMENT? >> THAT TAKES CARE OF THAT. WHY DON'T WE GO THROUGH THESE. ONE AT A TIME. IF WE'VE GOT ANY SPECIFIC DIRECTION TO GIVE TO STAFF ON THESE TOPICS, WE CAN DO THAT AND THEN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT. COMMISSIONER HATCH >> I HAVE A QUICK OVERARCHING QUESTION. I KNOW COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IS SUPER IMPORTANT FOR ALL THE GENERAL PLAN BUT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE EJ ELEMENT. I KNOW THERE WAS A SURVEY SENT OUT I THINK IN Q4 OF LAST YEAR. I ASKED ABOUT THIS IF YOU COMMISSION MEETINGS TO GO. I WAS WONDERING HOW THOSE RESULTS WERE INCORPORATED INTO THE DRAFT >> SO, THE FOCUS IS A SET OF FIXED QUESTIONS BECAUSE THEY COMPARED THE RESULTS WITH OTHER CITIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. WE HAD A CHANCE TO CUSTOMIZE THREE QUESTIONS. THE THREE QUESTIONS WERE WHAT SHOULD THE REDDING FOCUS ON IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS. WE HAD DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR THAT CREATING A DIVERSE INCLUSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY ADDRESSING SOCIAL RACIAL DIFFERENCES, [INDISCERNIBLE] PROVIDING HOUSING AND SERVICES ETC.. THOSE WERE THE OPTIONS FOR THE FIRST QUESTION. THE SECOND QUESTION WAS THE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS THE RESIDENTS HAVE TO FACE AND HOW DO YOU, WHAT SHOULD THE CITY DO TO PROMOTE HEALTHY LIVING CONDITIONS FOR ALL RESIDENTS SO WE HAD DIFFERENT OPTIONS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT AIR POLLUTION AND LACK OF CITY INFRASTRUCTURE IN CASE OF EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS THERE WAS AIR POLLUTION FROM INDUSTRIAL BUSINESSES HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR THE CITY TO WORK ON THINGS LIKE THAT. ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES AND YOUTH PROGRAMMING THE THIRD QUESTION WAS HOW [INDISCERNIBLE] WHAT SHOULD THE CITY DO TO INCREASE OUTREACH AND PARTICIPATION. IF YOU LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT SUGGESTIONS WE GAVE AS PART OF THE SURVEY, WE GOT THE SURVEY RESULTS AND WE CRAFTED THE POLICIES BASED ON THE RESULTS. MOST OF THE POLICIES YOU SEE HERE ARE EVERYTHING WE SENT OUT AS PART OF THE SURVEY. THAT'S HOW WE'VE DONE THE ENTIRE ELEMENT. IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE SURVEY IT'S AN 84 PAGE DOCUMENT AND I'M HAPPY TO SHARE >> I'D BE CURIOUS TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT >> I'M ALSO CURIOUS, WE DID CALL OUT SINCE THERE ARE IDENTIFY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES NEAR THE REDDING [INDISCERNIBLE] I WAS CURIOUS IF WE REACHED OUT TO THAT ORGANIZATION TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO PARTNER >> THE REDDING RANCH AREA IS IDENTIFY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY. EVERYTHING WITHIN ONE HALF MILE RADIUS OF THE REDDING RANCH AREA IS NOT DISADVANTAGED. SO WE DID REACH OUT AS PART OF THE FOCUS GROUP INITIATIVE TO THE REDDING RANCH AREA BUT WE DID NOT GET A RESPONSE. WE DID HAVE ONE OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS [INDISCERNIBLE] JONATHAN FREEMAN, HE WAS THERE WITH US FOR ALL OF THE MEETINGS AND HAS PROVIDED INPUT AND PROVIDED COMMENTS UP TO THE LATEST DRAFT. HE IS WELL-INFORMED. I BELIEVE HE IS TRYING TO REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY [INDISCERNIBLE] TO SEE IF THEY CAN GO THROUGH THE DOCUMENT AND PROVIDE FURTHER COMMENTS WHICH WE CAN INCORPORATE. WE ARE OPEN AT THIS POINT OF TIME AND IF THEY PROVIDE ANYTHING TO US WE ARE HAPPY TO CONSIDER IT >> OKAY THANK YOU >> OKAY. WE WILL START WITH EJ1 EQUITABLE COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO CIVIC ENGAGEMENT THROUGH BROAD PUBLIC OUTREACH AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR DIRECTION FOR STAFF ON EJ1? ONTOEJ2 RECOGNIZE HOMOGENOUS COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DISPARITY LIMITATIONS. APPLY TO VARIOUS RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY. ANYTHING ON EJ2. EJ3, COMMISSIONER HATCH >> I WAS WONDERING IN THREE IF WE COULD ADD SOMEWHERE IN THERE ABOUT OF NOXIOUS ODORS. I SEEN THAT ANOTHER GENERAL PLANS RELATED TO AIR POLLUTION. >> THANK YOU >> ANYTHING FURTHER ON EJ3. ON TWO EJ4, MITIGATE EFFECTS OF EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS. WANTED TO SEE IF WE CAN STOP SCHOOL CLOSURES ON SNOW DAYS. NO? OKAY. NOT OUR JURISDICTION ONTO EJ5. APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS REGARDING WORKFORCE HOUSING. UNDER HOUSING. GO AHEAD >> FOR HOUSING, I'M WONDERING IF WE CAN ADD SOMETHING ABOUT INDOOR MOLD AND MOLD GROWTH. TRYING TO EDUCATE PEOPLE ABOUT THE HAZARDS OF THAT >> WE CAN ADD THAT TO EJ5. >> OKAY. EJ6, PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES ARE EQUITABLY DISTRIBUTED WELL-MAINTAINED AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL RESIDENTS >> ON TO 7 ADDRESSING EMERGENCY AND SAFETY CONCERNS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. >> SEEING NONE ON SEVEN. ONTO 8, ELIMINATE HEALTH DISPARITIES AND LACK OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES AND HEALTHY FOOD. I THINK WE HASHED EVERYTHING OUT ON EIGHT. EJ9, PROMOTE LAND-USE PATTERNS URBAN DESIGN FOR COHESIVE SAFE AND HEALTHIER NEIGHBORHOODS. >> BACK TO EIGHT. COMMISSIONER MINER >> LOGISTICALLY THINKING ABOUT HEALTHIER FOODS TO THESE DISADVANTAGED AREAS. DISADVANTAGED OR AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED. IS THERE AN ACTUAL METRIC OR A WAY TO DO THAT? ARE WE GOING TO HAVE, IT'S HARD TO IDENTIFY LIKE, YOU CAN'T HAVE FAVORITISM AS FAR AS BUILDING CODES OR ANY OF THAT OR WHETHER OR NOT WE ALLOWED THE BUSINESS OWNER TO PUT A GROCERY STORE HERE OR THERE. I'M TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND HOW THAT LOGISTICALLY WORKS THAT WAY INTO REAL LIFE THESE ARE GOALS WE WANT TO STRIVE FOR SO WE USE THAT LANGUAGE >> YES THERE ARE TOOLS FOR EXAMPLE I'M CURRENTLY WORKING WITH AN APP CALLED [INDISCERNIBLE] WHAT THEY DO IS THEY MONITOR YOUR [INDISCERNIBLE] SO LET'S SAY YOU ARE MOVING FROM NEIGHBORHOOD TO A GROCERY STORE THAT'S FIVE OR 10 MILES AWAY. THEY LOOK AT THE FREQUENCY OF HOW MUCH YOU HAVE TRAVELED AND HOW MANY PEOPLE FROM YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TRAVEL TO THE SAME SPOT. WITH THE RESULTS THEY GIVE US WE CAN IDENTIFY THE [INDISCERNIBLE] AND HOW WE CAN INCORPORATE A NEIGHBORHOOD STORE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO EASE YOUR TRAVEL ACCESS. THERE ARE TOOLS IN WHICH YOU CAN IDENTIFY SUCH THINGS AND YOU CAN MAKE LAND-USE DECISIONS BASED OFF OF THE RESULTS. YES IT IS POSSIBLE >> COMMISSIONER HATCH >> AS A FOLLOW-UP TO THAT, I DID SEE A SUGGESTED OBJECTIVE IN THE OPR GUIDELINES ON AVOIDING DISPROPORTIONATE CONCENTRATIONS OF UNHEALTHY FOOD SOURCES IN NEIGHBORHOODS, SPECIFICALLY RESTRICT APPROVAL OF NEW LIQUOR AND CONVENIENCE STORES WITHIN EXISTING HIGH CONCENTRATION OF SUCH STORES. I WONDER IF THAT WOULD BE AN INTERESTED ADDITION >> OKAY >> COMMISSIONER HATCH, WAS THAT OPR SUGGESTED LANGUAGE OR THEIR SURVEY OF OTHER ELEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE? >> IT IS IN THEIR APPENDIX >> I WILL SAY THERE IS ALSO A PROCESS WHEN THEY RENEW LIQUOR LICENSE IS SOUGHT ANYWHERE IN CALIFORNIA THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAYS IN, OVER CONCENTRATIONS ARE LOOKED AT. ARE YOU LOOKING FOR LANGUAGE THAT GOES BEYOND THE LIMITATIONS THE STATE WOULD PUT FORTH SO FAR? >> YES I WOULD LOOK FOR THAT IN THE SENSE THAT WE COULD HELP ZONE THAT. >> OKAY. I'M CONCERNED THERE'S AN APP OUT THERE THAT KNOWS I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A HEALTH FOOD STORE. ALL RIGHT, ARE THERE ANY OTHER FURTHER COMMENTS ON THE ITEM? THANK YOU VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT. WITH THAT, WE WILL CLOSE OUT ITEM 5 AND MOVE ON TO ITEM 6, PUBLIC COMMENT. THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. PER THE BROWN ACT WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE ACTION ON PUBLIC COMMENT GIVEN NON-AGENDA ITEMS FOR NUMBER SIX. DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT TODAY? SEEING NONE, THAT MOVES US TO ITEM 7 COMMISSIONER COMMENTS >> COMMISSIONER GOEDERT >> I WANT TO THANK THE STAFF FOR GIVING THE COMMISSION THE STRIKEOUT VERSION OF THE GENERAL PLAN ELEMENT WE JUST REVIEWED, IT WAS VERY HELPFUL >> I WANT TO WELCOME BACK [INDISCERNIBLE] IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU IN PERSON >> OKAY. WITH THAT, WE ARE ON TO ITEM 8 THE DIRECTORS REPORT >> I WILL GIVE IT A FEW MINUTES OF UPDATES ON THE ONGOING PROJECTS. RIVERFRONT SPECIFIC PLAN UPDATE, WE ARE WORKING WITH MIG TO REFINE THE CONTRACT. [INDISCERNIBLE] AND I HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THEM LOOKING TO ESTABLISH A MEETING SOON TO GET THAT WORKED OUT FOR SIGNATURE. THAT CONTRACT SHOULD BE EXECUTED SOON AND SHOULD BE ON THE WAY SHORTLY. THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE, AS YOU KNOW WE ARE JUST TO THE FINISH LINE. I APPRECIATE THE COMMISSION PUTTING THE TIME AND AND THE STAFF. IT'S BEEN A REAL PUSH.

WE HAD TIM MCLEAN WITH ENGINEERING GIVEN HIS VIEWPOINTS FROM THE LAND DEVELOPMENT LAND ENGINEERING. WE HAD KENT GIVE US MORE BACKGROUND ON THE EARLY PARTS OF THE ORDINANCE BACK IN THE 90S.

MOVING AHEAD THERE AND THAT'S GOING WELL. THE STR ORDINANCE AT LAST COUNCIL WAS DECIDED THAT WOULD BE GOING BACK TO STAFF TO MAKE ADDITIONAL REVISIONS AND COME BACK TO COUNCIL. BASED ON THIS COMMISSION FEEDBACK AS WELL AS FEEDBACK RECEIVED FROM THE PUBLIC, WILL MAKE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO FINISH PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT ON THIS AS WELL. WORKING WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND COMMUNICATION TEAM TO PUSH OUT A WEBPAGE, GET MORE PUBLIC COMMENT AND INPUT, AND THEN WE WILL BRING THAT BACK HOPEFULLY TO THE COMMISSION. IT WILL BE A NEW REVISED ORDINANCE, LIKELY THAT WILL COME BEFORE YOU ALL IN APRIL, FIRST OR SECOND MEETING IN APRIL. AND ON TO CITY COUNCIL FROM THERE.
