(Mikaela Noble) Commissioner J.Johnson commented that he has some concerns about the design review process and referred to the land use goals and policies of the General Plan. In particular, four (4) policies: Housing Choices – all are single-family homes, Compact Development – trails and connecting trails, Quality Design – no opportunity to review project in relation to those surrounding it, and Innovative Design – the garages seem to be more prominent than housing entry ways and there are non-functional shutters. Commissioner J.Johnson asked if these four (4) policies were discussed or considered during the design review process. Commissioner Reedy joined the meeting 6:06 P.M.

PC 11/15/23 Minutes Mr. Pabalinas responded to Commissioner J.Johnson’s concerns that the policies were considered as part of the findings that were made for the approval of the Independence General Development Plan, adopted in 2017. Mikaela Noble, Assistant Planner responded that the house porches do extend out further than the garage doors on a few of the plans, there are trails and several connecting points through cul-de-sacs and road access ways, the projects are medium density homes, and the designs are very similar to the previously approved designs. There was discussion on the design of non-functional shutters, and removal of them on the Spanish elevation. Commissioner McKinney stated she has been enjoying the great trails in the Independence area. There were no public comments. Motioned (Offered by Commissioner McKinney, seconded by Commissioner E.Johnson) to approve items 8B and 8C, including Resolutions 2023-24 and 2023-25. Approved by the following roll call vote: McKinney – Aye, E.Johnson – Aye, Eklund – Aye, J.Johnson – Aye, Reedy – Aye, Hutchinson – Aye, and Gilbert – Aye. (7-0-0-0) 9. PUBLIC HEARINGS – 9.A.

Staff recommends: 1. Determine that the project complies with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15164 (Addendum to an EIR or Negative Declaration) as there is no substantial evidence requiring the preparation of a subsequent Negative Declaration or an Addendum to the existing Subsequent EIR for the Twelve Bridges Specific Plan (SCH #97022074), adopted by the City Council on October 20, 2021. 2. Adopt Resolution 2023-26 Approving a one (1) year time extension for the approved Stone Tower Plaza project to November 15, 2024. Mikaela Noble, Assistant Planner presented a PowerPoint presentation, made a part of these minutes by mention thereof. Discussion followed with questions from Commissioner E.Johnson and answers/comments made by Ms. Noble pertaining to procedures of the project’s time extension length of only one year, the current code allows them to extend another year if needed, and there was no available timeline of the project (applicant was not present at the meeting). Chairman Gilbert opened and closed the public hearing with no public comments at 6:23 P.M. Chairman Gilbert commented there is some condition that is stopping the project and the Planning Commission should do what they can to cooperate. There was discussion that an applicant’s absence is not uncommon, as a “time extension” is a relatively routine request. Motioned (Offered by Commissioner J.Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Reedy) to approve Resolution 2023-26 Approving a one (1) year time extension for the approved Stone Tower Plaza project to November 15, 2024. Approved by the following roll call vote: J.Johnson – Aye, Reedy – Aye, Eklund – Aye, E.Johnson – Aye, McKinney – Aye, Hutchinson – Aye and Gilbert – Aye. (7-0-0-0) 9.B.

PC 11/15/23 Minutes Staff Recommends: Planning Commission determines that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Act (CEQA) under Section 15301, Class 1-Existing Facilities; and Adopt Resolution 2023-27 Approving the Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a car rental service subject to the Conditions of Approval. Boniface Chifamba, Assistant Planner presented a PowerPoint presentation, made a part of these minutes by mention thereof. Discussion followed with questions from Commissioners and answers/comments made by Mr. Chifamba, Attorney Mollenkopf, Community Development Director Christian Svensk pertaining to parking spots are open and not restricted to Enterprise Car Rental, parking issues would be regulated by the Sterling Point Owner’s Association, rental car company is taking over an office space and not the entire building, office hours could be daily between 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., the percentage of electrical vehicles to rent, and parking spaces in the area. Chairman Gilbert opened the public hearing at 6:46 P.M. Mr. Verran commented Enterprise Car Rental does have electrical vehicles (EV), but at this time there was no analysis of a power grid and power for the Lincoln site.
