- Good afternoon everyone. I'd like to call to order today's zoning administrator meeting for the city of Martinez. Today's date is November 13th, 2025, and the time is 4:00 PM. My name is Brandon Northart and I'll be hosting the zoning administrator meeting. I'll be conducting today's hearing. Before we get started, I'd like to read our civility statement. As your appointed governing body, we will treat each other with, we will treat each other and the public with patience, civility, and courtesy as a model of the same behavior we wish to reflect in Martinez for the conduct of all city business and community participation. This includes respect for everyone's first amendment right to voice their opinion on matter within the city's subject matter jurisdiction, even if that opinion is different from our own. The decisions made will be for the benefit of the Martinez community and not for personal gain. So before we begin, we will open up the public hearing for a comment, public comment for items not on the agenda. This is a time for anybody in the public to provide comment on any item that is not on the agenda. But with that being said, I see we have zero attendees in the audience. So I will go ahead and move forward with closing the public comment. Moving on, we only have one item on the agenda and it's to receive and file the withdrawal of the request from Friends of Alhambra Valley to consider a major sign program for a freestanding sign totaling 16 square feet located at the western side of the intersection, of the T intersection of Blue Ridge Drive and Reliez Valley Road. So the applicant has, as I understand, withdrawn the application. So there is no staff presentation and I will go ahead and open it up to public comment. Seeing that there are no attendees in the audience, I will go ahead and close the public comment period. So again, their application has been withdrawn so there is no decision being made this evening on the project. So with that, the decision tonight is to receive and file the withdrawal of the request from Friends of Alhambra Valley to consider the major sign program for a freestanding sign totaling 16 square feet located at the western side of the T intersection of Blue Ridge Drive and Reliez Valley Road. There is, again, no action tonight, so there is no appeal. So with that, we will go ahead and adjourn today's zoning administrator meeting. Thank you very much.
