MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Mikaela Noble, Associate Planner DATE: February 13, 2026 RE: Agenda Item 9A: Walmart Remodel – Design Review Modification Staff is providing this memorandum in response to technical difficulties with our agenda distribution software. As such, item 9A (Walmart Remodel – Design Review Modification) displays incorrect and missing information. We are working with the software company to rectify this issue; however, staff wanted to provide the complete documentation to allow for adequate review. Attached you’ll find the complete staff report and associated attachments for the project. The following features have been updated in the attached staff report: • Table 1 – the posted agenda shows “-14” (highlighted in yellow below); however, the correct figure is “14”. We’ve also heard that some staff report versions show the number of existing customer/associate stalls as “11”; however, the correct version is “111”. o Incorrect/Posted: o Correct:

Agenda Item 9A February 13, 202 Page 2 of 2 • Attachment 3 – Some users cannot open the agenda file for Attachment 3. The file is included in the attached staff report. We apologize for the inconvenience. Attachments: 1. Item 9A (Walmart Remodel – Design Review Modification) Staff Report and Associated Attachments

SUBJECT: Walmart Remodel - Design Review Modification SUBMITTED BY: Mikaela Noble DEPARTMENT: Community Development DATE: February 18, 2026 Item Number 9.A STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing, consider the information contained in the staff report and testimony of the public and take the following actions: 1. Determine that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15301 (Existing Facilities). 2. Adopt a Resolution approving the Design Review Modification application for Walmart Remodel with project-specific and typical conditions of approval (Attachment 1). BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION: The Walmart Neighborhood Market (Walmart) is an existing grocery store located at 255 Lincoln Boulevard within Downtown Lincoln and is zoned Commercial (C) (Attachment 2). The project site is bounded by existing commercial development to the north, south and west. The Summerset Senior Living Facility is located east of the project site. The project is subject to Titles 16 (Signs) and 18 (Zoning) of the Lincoln Municipal Code (LMC) and the Lincoln Downtown Urban Design Plan (LDUDP). The existing Walmart is a 41,478 square foot (SF) grocery store and pharmacy, with 123 parking stalls. Four access driveways are provided in total, with two on 2nd Street and two on 3rd Street (see Attachment 3). The applicant has requested to modify an existing Design Review approval to do the following: revise the exterior paint color scheme palette, update existing signage, and restripe the parking lot (Attachment 3). The existing color scheme utilizes warm, earthy tones as seen in Attachment 3. As proposed, the project would repaint the existing building using shades of gray, black, white and blue. Wall and freestanding signs would be replaced and updated to reflect the new color scheme. The existing wall signs total area would be reduced from 238.96 SF to 124.46 SF. No alterations to the freestanding sign structure are being proposed; the sign face is being updated to reflect Walmart’s new branding style. Lastly, the applicant proposes to restripe the parking lot’s 123 parking stalls and convert 14 stalls into pickup-only (Table 1). STAFF REPORT 1

Table 1 Parking Stalls Existing vs. Proposed Stall Type Existing Proposed Difference Customer/Associate 111 97 -14 ADA 6 6 0 EV 0 0 0 Pickup 6 20 14 Cart Corrals 6 6 0 Total (excluding pickup stalls) 117 103 -14 Total (including pickup stalls) 123 123 0 FINDINGS/ANALYSIS: LMC Title 18 (Zoning) The project modifications do not result in an expanded building area, only alterations to the exterior paint color scheme, signage and parking lot. LMC Section 18.44.20 states that off- street parking requirements are implemented with the erection or expansion of units or building dimension. As the proposed project does not result in an expanded building area, requirements for additional parking are not applicable. The proposed exterior modifications to the approved Design Review to Walmart are consistent with the applicable requirements of LMC Title 18. LMC Title 16 (Signs) LMC Title 16 regulates for signs within the City. Pursuant to Section 16.02.010, commercial wall signs are allotted two square feet per one linear foot of frontage. Walmart’s frontage is approximately 320 linear feet, which would permit a maximum sign area of 640 SF. The project proposes to install wall signs not to exceed 125 SF. Therefore, the proposed wall signs comply with LMC Title 16. The freestanding sign is considered to be a legal, nonconforming structure as its installation predates the City’s sign ordinance. The existing freestanding sign and sign face are approximately 22 feet tall and 46 SF, respectively. The applicant is proposing to change the sign face color from green to blue, and remove the yellow spark icon to simply the sign. Per LMC Section 16.01.110, legal nonconforming signs shall be permitted to remain as long as the sign is not relocated or replaced; the structure, height or size of sign is altered; or at least 50% of the sign’s value is damaged or destroyed. Face changes and normal maintenance are permitted and do not constitute alteration. The project does not propose to replace or alter the sign, and are only changing the sign face to reflect Walmart’s updated branding. Therefore, the freestanding sign complies with LMC Title 16. Lincoln Downtown Urban Design Plan The LDUDP provides guidelines on development within Downtown Lincoln. The project site is located within District 1 Historic Old Town Commercial. LDUDP guidelines state that a variety of materials/colors are present on buildings within Downtown and provides recommendations on what new buildings should incorporate. Color suggestions are not included in the recommendations list. As this project does not involve construction of a new building or alterations to the existing façade materials, the Walmart Remodel Project is not 2

subject to these guidelines. LDUDP District 1 guidelines include recommendations for signage criteria. The project proposes to replace wall signage and update the freestanding sign copy to reflect Walmart’s branding. The LDUDP signage recommendation include readability, discouragement of window displays and emphasis on design considerations based on business type. The proposed signs are easy to read and reflect the business’ brand. No window signs are being proposed with this project. As such, the project is consistent with the LDUDP. Parking recommendations are provided in the LDUDP; however, as the proposed project does not result in an expanded building area or site layout alterations, therefore, the LDUDP parking recommendations are not applicable. Design Review Board The Walmart Remodel Project was reviewed by the Design Review Board (DRB) on January 30, 2026. The DRB reviewed the submitted materials during the scheduled meeting. After a brief presentation by staff and a member of the applicant team, the DRB and applicant discussed the project materials. Conversation ensued regarding the parking lot and freestanding sign. The DRB did not provide any modification requests for the proposed project and unanimously recommended approval of the project to the Planning Commission. Conditions of Approval To ensure timely and orderly implementation of the project, the proposed Design Review Modifications for the Walmart Remodel Project is subject to specific conditions of approval. Implementation of the applicable conditions of approval would ensure that specific site alterations are installed according to City design standards. These conditions are included as Exhibit A in the Resolution (Attachment 1). The project applicant has reviewed and accepted the conditions of approval as written. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The project consists of modifications for the existing Walmart Neighborhood Market, including revisions to the exterior paint color scheme, replacement of signage and parking lot striping. The project is found to be exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), because the project involves minor alterations to an existing building and parking lot, and does not expand the existing use. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.

COUNCIL: NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE FREESTANDING SIGN STRUCTURE ARE BEING PROPOSED, HOWEVER, THE SIGN FACE IS BEING UPDATED TO REFLECT COUNCIL: WALMART'S NEW BRANDING STYLE. COUNCIL: WHICH, JUST TO REITERATE, THIS IS THE AREA THAT'S CHANGING, JUST KIND OF THE SIGN, FACE, AND COPY. THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE ITSELF IS NOT BEING MODIFIED. COUNCIL: STAFF ANALYZED THE PROPOSED ENTITLEMENT REQUEST AND CONCLUDED THAT IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, POLICY, AND INTENT OF THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN, LINCOLN MUNICIPAL CODE TITLES 16 AND 18, AND THE LINCOLN DOWNTOWN URBAN DESIGN PLAN. COUNCIL: THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD REVIEWED THE PROJECT IN JANUARY AND DID NOT PROVIDE ANY MODIFICATION REQUESTS FOR THE PROJECT. COUNCIL: THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. COUNCIL: CITY STAFF HAS PREPARED DRAFT CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR THE PROJECT TO ENSURE ORDERLY AND TIMELY IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT. COUNCIL: STANDARD AND PROJECT-SPECIFIC CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN APPLIED. THESE WILL ALL BE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY CITY DEPARTMENTS, AND THE APPLICANT HAS REVIEWED AND AGREED TO THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. COUNCIL: STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION DETERMINE THE PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, UNDER SECTION 15301, EXISTING FACILITIES, AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE DESIGN REVIEW MODIFICATION FOR THE WALMART REMODEL PROJECT. COUNCIL: AT THIS TIME, WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY FORMAL PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR THE PROJECT, AND ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE MEMBERS OF THE APPLICANT TEAM ONLINE ON ZOOM WHO ARE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. COUNCIL: THANK YOU, MICHAELA. COUNCIL: BEFORE I OPEN IT TO PUBLIC HEARINGS, I'LL ASK MY COLLEAGUES IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BEFORE WE OPEN IT. COUNCIL: COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, PLEASE. COUNCIL: MAY FALL UNDER THE WHITE HOUSE. COUNCIL: WISE-ASS COMMENT, BUT… COUNCIL: BLUE, BLACK, GRAY, AND WHITE ARE THE FOUR… THE ONLY FOUR COLORS ONE SEES IN ANTARCTICA OR THE ARCTIC. COUNCIL: AND WHILE I DON'T… PINK. COUNCIL: THAT'S PARTICULARLY RELEVANT. I DON'T… I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS IS… COUNCIL: YOU KNOW, I TEND TO THINK THAT THE TANS ARE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR OUR LOCAL AREA, BUT… COUNCIL: I REALLY FIND IT KIND OF ATTRACTIVE, THE WAY IT'S BEEN PRESENTED, AND COUNCIL: FIGHTING A NATIONAL BRAND IS PROBABLY NOT, PRACTICAL. COUNCIL: ALRIGHT. COUNCIL: THAT'S A… THANKS FOR THE OBSERVATION. COUNCIL: YEAH, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS FOR OPENING UP TO PUBLIC HEARING? COUNCIL: ALL RIGHT, WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. CITIZENS WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM MAY REQUEST TO SPEAK BY RAISING THEIR HAND. WHEN REQUESTED TO DO SO, PLEASE LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO 3 MINUTES. SECRETARY, DO WE HAVE ANY HANDS RAISED ONLINE, OR ANYONE IN THE CHAMBERS THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? COUNCIL: I DO NOT SEE ANY HANDS RAISED ONLINE. COUNCIL: AND I DO NOT SEE ANY HANDS RAISED HERE IN THE ROOM. COUNCIL: OKAY. COUNCIL: WITH THAT, I WILL CLOSE… THIS PUBLIC HEARING FOR THAT ITEM. COUNCIL: AND… LET'S SEE, SO I'LL BRING IT BACK TO MY COLLEAGUES. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? COUNCIL: I'LL START. COUNCIL: ON THIS END, ANY… PLEASE. COUNCIL: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. FIRST OF ALL, HAVING SPENT… COUNCIL: A GOOD PART OF MY CAREER FOR A VERY MAJOR COUNCIL: AMERICAN CORPORATION, I WANT IT TO BE KNOWN THAT THEY SPEND… COUNCIL: VAST SUMS OF MONEY ON SIGNAGE. COUNCIL: WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, WHAT COLOR IT'S GOING TO BE, ETC. COUNCIL: IF YOU'RE A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION, AND YOU ADOPT COUNCIL: A COLOR SCHEME OR A SIGN PROGRAM. COUNCIL: IT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO JUSTIFY YOUR INVESTMENT. COUNCIL: THAT YOU BE CONSISTENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THAT IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF ANY SIGNAGE PROGRAM, IS TO BE CONSISTENT, BECAUSE IT'S… THEY WANT PEOPLE TO RECOGNIZE IT. HOWEVER, I ASKED FOR THE FLOOR FOR ANOTHER REASON. COUNCIL: AND, I HAD ORIGINALLY BROUGHT TO THE STAFF'S ATTENTION THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE NUMBERS, AND WE FOUND OUT IT WAS WITH THE SOFTWARE, AND WE DO HAVE THE CORRECT NUMBERS. AND WITH MY BACKGROUND. COUNCIL: IN FINANCE, I ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THINGS ADD UP, AND THEY DIDN'T, BUT THEY DO NOW, SO THANK YOU, THANK YOU TO STAFF. COUNCIL: HOWEVER, I'M GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE. AS YOU ALL KNOW, I'M HANDICAPPED. COUNCIL: AND I DO SHOP AT THIS WALMART. THEY CARRY A COUPLE PRODUCTS. COUNCIL: THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO TRAVEL COUNCIL: MAYBE 15, 20 MILES AWAY, SO THEY BECOME ONE OF MY PLACES. MY WIFE SHOPS IN 3 OR 4 DIFFERENT SUPERMARKETS. SHE'S FUSSY WHAT SHE BUYS, BUT THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS THAT I WANT TO BUY LOCALLY… COUNCIL: WALMART'S THE PLACE FOR ME. COUNCIL: QUITE OFTEN, WHEN I GO TO WALMART. COUNCIL: I CAN'T FIND A PARKING PLACE. COUNCIL: AND OF COURSE, BEING RETIRED, I DON'T GO THE SAME TIME EVERY TIME. I GO WHEN I WANT. SO I'VE TRIED TO FIND THE TIME DURING THE DAY COUNCIL: WHERE THERE'S PARKING PLACES AVAILABLE. COUNCIL: AND IT'S DIFFICULT, AND OF COURSE, THERE'S A LIMITED NUMBER OF HANDICAPPED PLACES, AND I ASSUME THAT THE NUMBER THEY HAVE MEETS OUR CRITERIA FOR THE CITY. COUNCIL: NOW, WHAT I SEE HERE IS… COUNCIL: I'VE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM, AND NOT ONLY DO I ALSO WANT TO COMMENT, NOT ONLY DO I HAVE A PROBLEM PARKING IN THE PARKING LOT. COUNCIL: MOST OF THE TIME, I HAVE TROUBLE PARKING ON THE PERIMETER OF THE SHOPPING CENTER ON THE STREET. COUNCIL: I HAVE THAT PROBLEM. COUNCIL: OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THAT PROBLEM. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE HANDICAPPED TO HAVE THAT PROBLEM. COUNCIL: WHICH MEANS, FROM A MARKETING STANDPOINT, YOU'RE PROBABLY LOSING BUSINESS. COUNCIL: AND SO THEY HAVE A PARKING PROBLEM HERE, AND THEY HAVE A PARKING PROBLEM BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED HERE FOR A WHILE KNOW THIS WAS ANOTHER COUNCIL: KIND OF NEIGHBORHOOD MARKET. COUNCIL: IT CLOSED UP. COUNCIL: WALMART DECIDED TO COME IN. I WAS ON THE CITY COUNCIL AT THE TIME. IT WAS WONDERFUL TO CUT THE RIBBON AND COUNCIL: WELCOMED THEM TO THE COMMUNITY, AND THEY'VE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL. COUNCIL: THEY PROBABLY GENERATED A LOT MORE SALES TAX REVENUE FOR US. COUNCIL: WHEN I LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, HOWEVER. COUNCIL: IT SAYS TO ME THAT FOR THE TYPICAL CUSTOMER, THE TYPICAL CUSTOMER THAT'S GOING TO GO INTO THE MARKET AND SHOP COUNCIL: AND SELECT THINGS, RATHER THAN COUNCIL: SHOPPING ELECTRONICALLY, WHICH I DO QUITE OFTEN MYSELF AND OTHER PLACES, THERE'S LESS PARKING PLACES. COUNCIL: AND SO WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR TONIGHT COUNCIL: IS TO MAKE IT MORE CONVENIENT FOR PEOPLE WHO PRE-ORDER AND WANT TO GO INTO THE PICKUP AREA. THEY'RE GOING TO EXTEND THAT. COUNCIL: BUT SOMETHING HAS TO MATCH UP ON THE NUMBERS, AND THEY'RE TAKING AWAY ADDITIONAL PARKING PLACES FOR THE PEOPLE COUNCIL: NEED OR WANT TO GO INTO THE STORE TO BUY. COUNCIL: AND THAT BOTHERS ME. I DON'T… I'VE TRIED VERY DILIGENTLY TO FIGURE OUT SOME SUGGESTION TO THAT. COUNCIL: AND IF IT COMES TO IT, I WILL VOTE IN FAVOR OF THIS. COUNCIL: BUT… I THINK WE PROBABLY ARE JUST MAKING ONE PROBLEM, GO DOWN SOMEWHAT. COUNCIL: AND WE'RE CREATING MAYBE A BIGGER PROBLEM COUNCIL: FOR THE PEOPLE WHO SHOP IN THE STORE. COUNCIL: THANK YOU FOR ACCEPTING MY COMMENTS. COUNCIL: YES, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS ON THAT. COUNCIL: I GUESS WE'LL… MAYBE WE'LL GET SOME COMMENTS, AND THEN WE'LL SEE IF THE APPLICANT HAS, ANY… ANYTHING THEY'D LIKE TO SAY. COUNCIL: IN RESPONSE, DO YOU HAVE ANY… HERZOG? YEAH, THANK YOU. I, I, COUNCIL: YOU KNOW, I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS PARKING LOT, IT'S VERY CHALLENGING. I STRUGGLE TO SEE HOW YOU CAN FIT MORE SPOTS. COUNCIL: THEY'RE GONNA HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF SPOTS TOTAL. COUNCIL: I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I, TOO, THOUGHT OF THAT, PETER, THAT, THAT, COUNCIL: THAT THEY'RE REDUCING THE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS THAT WANT TO GO IN. COUNCIL: I WONDER… I WAS… COUNCIL: HOPING TO HEAR MORE ABOUT MAYBE SOME RESEARCH OR DATA ON THE INCREASE IN PEOPLE THAT JUST WANT TO PICK UP. COUNCIL: FROM THE PARKING LOT. COUNCIL: AND… AND SO, MAYBE THERE IS SOME MORE DATA AROUND THAT. I THINK THAT COULD HELP COUNCIL: LET'S MAKE A DECISION TONIGHT. COUNCIL: BUT, BUT YEAH, THIS PARKING LOT IS CHALLENGING, TO GET IN AND OUT OF, TO WALK AROUND, THOSE ONE LANES. COUNCIL: I THINK THE ANGLED SLOTS, YOU FIT MORE CARS, AND THEY ARE ALREADY ANGLED. COUNCIL: SO… I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE SPOTS, IS KIND OF MY POINT, SO… COUNCIL: THANK YOU. COUNCIL: COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, DO YOU MIND IF I CUT IN? SURE. SO, TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE PARKING, LIKE I MENTIONED, THE PROJECT IS NOT EXPANDING THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT, AND OUR CODE FOR PARKING REQUIREMENTS OR ADDING ADDITIONAL SPOTS IS ONLY APPLICABLE IF THEY'RE EXPANDING OR ADDING ON TO THE BUILDING. COUNCIL: SO, WE DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE MORE SPACES. THE PROJECT, THE RAINBOW MARKET IS WHAT IT WAS PREVIOUSLY CALLED BACK IN THE DAY. THERE HAS BEEN SOME EXPANSIONS, AND, YOU KNOW, THAT CHANGED THE PARKING REQUIREMENT, BUT COUNCIL: AS IT WAS APPROVED WITH THAT CURRENT SQUARE FOOTAGE, IT WAS ROUGHLY ABOUT 50 STALLS UNDER-PARKED, BUT IT WAS APPROVED THAT WAY WITH PREVIOUS ENTITLEMENTS. SO WE… WITH THE REQUEST TODAY, WE CAN'T BUMP THAT NUMBER UP OR ENFORCE OUR… COUNCIL: PARKING REQUIREMENTS. GRANTED, WE WOULDN'T EVEN BE ABLE TO GET ANYWHERE NEAR 50 MORE SPACES IN ORDER TO MEET THAT MINIMUM. ADDITIONALLY, THAT WAS ONE OF MY COMMENTS AS WELL, TOO, PETER, WAS I'VE… I DON'T LIVE IN LINCOLN, BUT I DRIVE PAST IT ALL THE TIME IN ORDER TO GET HERE, AND THAT PARKING LOT'S ALWAYS FULL. COUNCIL: AND THEY DO HAVE A TRAFFIC ENGINEER ONLINE, FROM KIMLEY HORNE, AND WHAT THEY PROVIDED WITH ME WAS, ESSENTIALLY, THE GOAL IS FOR MORE PEOPLE TO UTILIZE THE PICKUP STALLS TO WHERE THAT WOULD DECREASE THE NEED FOR THE ORDINARY CONSUMER TO COME IN. COUNCIL: I'M NOT A TRAFFIC ENGINEER MYSELF, SO I DO HAVE TO DEFER TO THE EXPERTS ON THAT, WHICH WOULD BE THE KIMLEY HORN REPRESENTATIVE. COUNCIL: AND ONCE YOU GUYS PROVIDE YOUR COMMENTS, WE CAN GET THEM ONLINE, TO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL COLOR. COUNCIL: OKAY. THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY COMMENT AS WELL, IS THAT WE WOULD SEE THAT THERE WOULD BE COUNCIL: EXCUSE ME, MORE PEOPLE PICKING THINGS UP. I THINK THAT AS WE LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT STORES IN TODAY'S WORLD, WE'RE LOOKING AT ONLINE SHOPPING, WE'RE LOOKING AT PICKUP SHOPPING MORE AND MORE IN THE GROCERY STORE AREA. DO I LIKE IT? NO, I DRIVE A LARGE CAR, AND IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO PARK THERE AND NOT COUNCIL: PARK IN A SPOT WHERE I'M NOT GOING TO GET, DINGED OR WHATEVER. HOWEVER, I ALSO CAN APPRECIATE WHERE, YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM, AND I UNDERSTAND PETER'S CONCERN AS WELL, ESPECIALLY IN TODAY'S WORLD OF A REAL STRONG EMPHASIS ON ADA. COUNCIL: IT'S BECOMING MORE AND MORE OF A, OF A FACTOR FOR US TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT. SO, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. I THINK WE'LL SEE MORE OF THE PICKUP. COUNCIL: AND MORE ONLINE, AND… OVER THE… OVER THE… COUNCIL: THANK YOU. COUNCIL: I'LL GO TO MY LEFT. ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OVER HERE? YEAH, I JUST WANTED A CLARIFICATION. HOW MANY PICKUP SPOTS ARE THERE RIGHT NOW? SIX. COUNCIL: AND WE'RE EXPANDING IT TO? 20. COUNCIL: SEEMS A LOT. COUNCIL: I MEAN, I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE BACK AND FIND OUT COUNCIL: HOW THEY CAME UP WITH 20, I THINK WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THAT. COUNCIL: BUT 6 TO 20, THAT SEEMS TO BE OBSESSIVE. COUNCIL: AND SO I THINK WE SHOULD, DEFINITELY CHALLENGE THAT. COUNCIL: THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, DO YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL ITEMS? NO. OKAY. I AGREE WITH THE COMMENTS THAT I MADE. OKAY. COUNCIL: P
