THANK YOU. >> DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? >> WE DO. BRUCE OLSON? >> YEAH. GOOD EVENING. PLANNING COMMISSIONERS. CHAIR KOBATA, STAFF, APPLICANT AND FELLOW RESIDENTS. I AM BRUCE OLSON, EAST COUNTY'S MR. BICYCLE. I WANT TO POINT OUT, JUST BECAUSE THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY "BICYCLE," THAT THERE ARE BICYCLE LANES ON MARK STEEN DRIVE. AND THEY'RE NOT PARTICULARLY HEAVILY USED BY BICYCLISTS. SO WE HAVE NOT COMPLAINED ABOUT THE FACT THAT LOTS OF CARS ARE PARKING IN THE BICYCLE LANES FRONTING THIS BUILDING, THIS PROJECT. WE'RE NOT COMPLAINING NOW. BUT WE WANT TO RESERVE THE POSSIBILITY OF IN THE FUTURE, SAYING, HEY, WAIT A MINUTE, IT'S A BIKE LANE, WE DON'T WANT ANY PARKING IN THE BIKE LANE. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MR. OLSON. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? >> THERE ARE NONE. >> OKAY. AT THIS POINT, I WILL ANNOUNCE THAT THIS HEARING IS CLOSED. DO WE HAVE ANY COMMISSIONERS THAT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COMMISSIONER FOSTER? >> THIS QUESTION IS FOR STAFF. SINCE MR. BRUCE OLSON DID BRING OUT A VERY VALID ISSUE OF MOTORISTS, JUST RANDOMLY PARKING ON THE BIKE LANE, IS THERE A POSSIBILITY OF PUTTING A NO PARKING SIGN AS WE WOULD ALREADY IN THE OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY, TO DISCOURAGE, YOU KNOW, ANY CARS COLONIZING THE BIKE LANE, BECAUSE THERE'S PLENTY OF PARKING THERE. THERE'S NO REASON TO PARK IN THE BIKE LANE. >> THROUGH THE CHAIR. GREAT QUESTION. GREAT SOLUTIONS. WILL HAVE TO BE THOUGHT ABOUT. SO I WILL ENTERTAIN THAT DISCUSSION WITH OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT CONGESTION FOR OUR BICYCLISTS, ALONG MARK STEIN DRIVE. THANK YOU. >> I UNDERSTAND. BECAUSE THERE'S PLENTY OF PARKING OVER AT THE --I WOULD SAY, THE WIN CO PARKING LOT, JUST STEPS AWAY. >> DO WE HAVE ANY MORE FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, DELIBERATIONS FOR THE COMMISSIONERS? OKAY. I'D LIKE TO ASK IF WE HAVE A MOTION FOR THIS ITEM? COMMISSIONER ROBINSON? >> I MOVE THAT WE ADOPT RESOLUTION, APPROVING PLAN NUMBER AP-24-16, SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS. >> THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? COMMISSIONER GORDON? [ INAUDIBLE ] >> OKAY. WE HAVE A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER GORDON. DO WE HAVE A VOTE? IT IS PASSED, 4-0. THANK YOU. ANYONE OBJECTING TO THIS DECISION HAS 10 DAYS TO FILE AN APPEAL OF THE DECISION WITH THE PLANNING DIVISION FOR HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL. MR. SECRETARY? DO WE HAVE ANOTHER HEARING ITEM? >> YES. GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS AGAIN. THE SECOND ITEM TONIGHT IS THE FIRST OF A FEW CITY-INITIATED REZONE APPLICATIONS OF STAFF, WE BRING FORWARD TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. SO OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, YOU WILL SEE SEVERAL --I DON'T WANT TO SAY SEVERAL, A FEW APPLICATIONS FOR REZONING TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CONSISTENT WITH THE GENERAL PLAN. WHILE WE'RE CONDUCTING THE GENERAL TITLE UPDATE, YOU'LL START TO SEE THESE COME THROUGH. BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE COMPLIANT WITH STATE LAW, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR GENERAL PLAN IN OUR ZONING. I'LL START. THE CITY IS PROPOSING THE FIRST INITIATED APPROVAL FOR COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE. AND THE FULL COMPREHENSIVEIUM DATE WILL USE DESIGNATIONS POLICIES AND IMPLEMENTATIONS. WITH THIS PROCESS, WE DID SELECT A CONSULTANT, PLACEWORKS. AND WHAT THEY'LL BE DOING IS LOOKING AT OUR ZONING AND MAKING SURE WE'RE CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW. THEN WE'LL BE PRESENTING THAT OVER TIME. AND WE'LL BRING THIS FORWARD TO YOU IN WORKSHOPS AND DOING SOME ADDITIONAL COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK GOING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. SO THE PROPOSED ZONING AND MAPS WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE USES AUTHORIZED AND REGULATIONS PRESCRIBED FOR THE LAND USE DISTRICT FOR WHICH THEY ARE PROPOSED WITHIN THAT BASE DISTRICT. THE PROPOSED ZONING MAPS DO NOT INDICATE CONDITION BY THE CITY TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE ANY DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. ALLISON HODGKIN, ASSISTANT ASSOCIATE PLANNER WILL BE PRESENTING TO YOU TONIGHT ON THIS PROJECT. THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING. THANKS, JOHN. FOR THE RECORD, ALLISON SPELLS, ASSOCIATE PLANNER. >> YES. ALLISON SPELLS. >> IT'S STILL NEW. >> YES, IT'S STILL NEW. BUT CONGRATULATIONS, ALLISON. >> GOOD EVENING, CHAIR KOBATA, VICE CHAIR FOSTER AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION. AS DISCUSSION DISCUSSED, CITY-INITIATED REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF FIVE ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS TO IMPLEMENT LAND USE DESIGNATIONS CONSISTENT WITH THE 2040 GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP. AS YOU KNOW, THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED THE 2040 GENERAL PLAN AND CERTIFIED THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT LAST MONTH ON MAY 6th. ONE OF THE MANY CHANGES IN THE 2040 GENERAL PLAN INCLUDED UPDATES TO THE CITY'S SUBAREAS, LAND USE MAPS AND LAND USE DESIGNATIONS. AS JOHN MENTIONED, WE'RE PROPOSING THIS INITIAL BUSINESS SET OF ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING. AS A FIRST STEP IN COMPLYING WITH STATE LAW, WHICH REQUIRES THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN TO BE CONSISTENT WITH ITS ZONING ORDINANCE, WHICH IS BOTH OUR ZONING REGULATIONS AND OUR ZONING MAP. THIS IS JUST THE SEVERAL OF MANY ZONE AMENDMENTS FOR THIS BODY OF CONSIDERATION AS WE WORK TO PREPARE THAT LARGER, COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE IN THE ZONING MAP TITLE THAT JOHN DISCUSSED. JUST TO REITERATE, ALL PENDING AND FUTURE PROJECTS THAT MAY BE LOCATED ON PROPOSED REZONE SITES WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROCESS THE DEVELOPMENT, AN INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION WITH THE PLANNING DIVISION AND UNDERGO APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW, CONSISTENT CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT ACT. SO NOW, I WILL STEP YOU THROUGH ALL FIVE OF THE PROPOSED REZONE SITES. AND PLEASE BEAR WITH ME AS I DISCUSS THE MOST COMPLEX REZONE SITE FIRST, AND KNOW THAT REZONE SITES 2 THROUGH 5 ARE MUCH EASIER TO DESCRIBE. SO REZONE SITE 1 IS LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF CITY LIMITS, NORTH OF WILLOW PASS ROAD. THE RZ1 SITE IS WITHIN THE NORTH CENTRAL SUBRIVER AREA OF THE 2040 GENERAL PLAN AND HAS MULTIPLE LAND USE DESIGNATION, INCLUDING EMPLOYMENT CENTER INDUSTRIAL, INDUSTRIAL, OPEN SPACE, MEDIUM-IT RESIDENTIAL, HIGH-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, VERY HIGH-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, AND COMMERCIAL PARK. THE RZ1 ITEM WOULD REZONE SECTIONS OF THE SITE FROM GENERAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT TO OPEN SPACE, LIMITED INDUSTRIAL, WITH LIMITED OVERLAY, AND WATER FRONT COMMERCIAL WITH LIMITED OVERLAY DISTRICTS, TO ALLOW FOR APPLICABLE BASE DISTRICT USES AND EMPLOYMENT CENTER, INDUSTRIAL USES, INCLUDING DATA CENTERS, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION DEVELOPMENTS AND CLEAN ENERGIES AS AN INFRASTRUCTURE. THIS ITEM WOULD ALSO REZONE SECTIONS OF THE SITE WITH GENERAL INDUSTRIAL, AND GENERAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS TO SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, FOR 1,000 TO 5,000 SQUARE FOOT WITH MINIMUM OVERLAY. AND MEDIUM-TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL WITH LIMITED OVERLAY. THAT INCLUDES PATTERNS, LIKE T, SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DETACHED, MULTIFAMILY AND MIXED-USE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. EACH PROPOSED OVERLAY DISTRICT WOULD HAVE ITS OWN INDIVIDUAL OVERLAY PLAN. THE RZ2 SITE IS LOCATED ON THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORMER DELTA VIEW GOLF COURSE, SOUTH OF WEST LELAND ROAD. THE RZ2 SITE IS WITHIN THE WEST LELAND SUBAREA OF THE 2040 GENERAL USE PLAN AND HAS EMPLOYMENT DESIGNATION OF INDUSTRIAL. THE RZ2 ITEM WOULD REZONE THE POSSIBLE SITE FROM OPEN SPACE DISTRICT TO LIMITED INDUSTRIAL WITH LIMITED OVERLAY DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR EMPLOYMENT CENTER INDUSTRIAL USES. AT THIS TIME RZ3 SITE IS LOCATED AT THE WESTERN LIMITS OF THE CITY, SOUTH OF STATE ROUTE 4, ADJACENT TO AVALO ROAD. THE RZ3 SITE IS WITHIN THE SOUTHWEST HILLS SUBAREA OF THE 2040 GENERAL PLAN AND HAS A LAND USE DESIGNATION OF COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL. RZ3 WOULD REZONE THE APPROXIMATELY 12-ACRE SITE FROM OPEN SPACE WITH LIMITED OVERLAY DISTRICT AND HILLSIDE PLANNED DISTRICT TO COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR COMMERCIAL USES. THE RZ4 SITE IS LOCATED NORTH OF EAST THIRD STREET, AT THE INTERSECTION OF HARBOR AND EAST THIRD STREETS. THE RZ4 SITE IS WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN SUBAREA OF GENERAL 2040 PLAN AND HAS LAND USE DESIGNATION OF MARINA COMMERCIAL. RZ4 WOULD REZONE THE APPROXIMATELY 23-ACRE SITE FROM WATERFRONT COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND GENERAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT TO WATERFRONT COMMERCIAL WITH LIMITED OVERLAY DISTRICT. TO WATERFRONT COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION. LIMITING MANUFACTURING AND INFRASTRUCTURE USES. AND THIS BRINGS US TO THE LAST REZONE SITE, LOCATED AT EAST 265, LELAND ROAD. THE RZ5 SITE IS WITHIN THE LUBARIGE AREA. THE RZ5 ITEM WOULD REZONE THE APPROXIMATELY 1-ACRE SITE FROM COMMERCIAL SERVICE DISTRICTS, WITH INDUSTRIAL WITH LIMITED OVERLAY DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR LIMITED FOOD PROCESSING, CUSTOM MANUFACTURING AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES. CHAPTER 1848 OF PITTSBURG MUNICIPAL CODE SETS FORTH AMENDMENT AND REQUIRES THE COMMISSION TO INCLUDE WRITTEN FINDINGS TO SUPPORT ANY RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE. AND PMC SECTION 18.74.060 STATES THAT AN OVERLAY PLAN SHALL BE PROCESSED IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 18.48. AT THE SAME TIME AS CONSIDERATION OF THE ZONING MAP AMENDMENT. SO THE FINDINGS OF THESE TWO SECTIONS ARE INCLUDED IN SECTION 2 OF THE RESOLUTION. >> AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT WAS PREPARED AND CERTIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH CEQA TO EVALUATE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF APPROVAL AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2040 GENERAL PLAN. ON MAY 6th, 2024, THE PITTSBURG CITY COUNCIL CERTIFIED THE FINAL E.I.R. FOR THE 2040 GENERAL PLAN. IN CEQA SECTION 15164 SUBB. IT ALLOWS THE AGENCY TO PREVIOUSLY CERTIFIED E.I.R., IF NO NEW OR SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS, NO SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES TO CIRCUMSTANCES, OR TO PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFY SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS. NO SIGNIFICANT REVISIONS TO MITIGATION MEASURES AND NO NEW MITIGATION MEASURES -- OR ALTERNATIVES WOULD BE APPLICABLE WITH A PROPOSED PROJECT. AND THE CITY WAS ABLE TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION, AND FOR THAT REASON, WE PREPARED AN ADDENDUM TO THE 2040 PLANNED FINAL E.I.R. FOR THESE PROPOSED ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS FOR YOU TONIGHT. >> STAFF RECOMMENDS THE PLANNING RECOMMEND CITY COUNCIL ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING MAP AND ESTABLISHING LIMITED OVERLAY DISTRICTS TO IMPLEMENT THE 2040 GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP, PLANNING APPLICATION, 24-0033. AND THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION. DO ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY FACTUAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR STAFF? >> I DO. >> COMMISSIONER GORDON? >> YEAH. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF. IF YOU LOOK AT REZONE 4, YOU'LL SEE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, RM-D, WHICH IS RESIDENTIAL AREA. AND I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THAT ZONE, AND I'M WITHIN 500 FEET OF THAT ZONING CHANGE, AND MY QUESTION TO STAFF IS, SHOULD I OR SHOULD I NOT VOTE ON THAT? >> THROUGH THE CHAIR, BEING THAT THERE IS NO VESTED PROJECT THAT WE'RE REVIEWING TONIGHT, AND THERE IS NO REAL REVIEW NEEDED TO LOOK AT THIS PROJECT -- >> RIGHT. >> BECAUSE IT'S THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2040 GENERAL PLAN. YOU SHOULD BE FINE. >> OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY KNEW THAT I DO LIVE CLOSE TO THAT. SO THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER GORDON. COMMISSIONER ROBINSON? >> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I JUST HAVE --THE FIRST QUESTION IS ABOUT THE PROCESS. JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CLEAR AND TRANSPARENT. AND MY MEMORY IS WORKING CORRECTLY. SO ARE WE ONLY ALLOWED SO MANY REZONES IN A YEAR? IS THAT CORRECT? >> SO, THROUGH THE CHAIR. THE REZONE APPLICATIONS, YOU CAN COME FORWARD AS MANY TIMES. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS. >> OH, OKAY. >> GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS. YOU CALIFORNIA ONLY AMEND A GENERAL PLAN FOUR TIMES A YEAR. EACH ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN. >> OKAY. >> AND WE ARE ONE, TWO -- ONE WITH THE SIENNA PROJECT, RIGHT, MARCO? >> THROUGH THE CHAIR, YES. >> AND SECOND WE DID WITH THE GENERAL ZONE. >> AND THEN OTHER QUESTIONS. REZONE 1, DURING THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE PROCESS. WE'RE KIND OF MEETING AS A CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION. ARE WE REFERRING TO THIS SITE AS THE NRG SITE? >> THROUGH THE CHAIR, THAT'S CORRECT. YES. >> AND THEN I THINK THAT'S IT FOR MY FACTUAL QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER FOSTER. >> WELL, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION, MS. SPELLS. THAT DEFINITELY EXPLAINS A WHOLE LOT ABOUT THE ZONING AND PROBABLY AS A FOLLOW-UP TO COMMISSIONER ROBINSON'S QUESTION ON ZONING. SO I UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T --THIS IS NOT A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT. HOWEVER IF WE COME TO A PROJECT THAT REQUIRES A CHANGE. A PARTIAL CHANGE TO THE ZONING. WOULD THAT STILL BE A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT? >> THROUGH THE CHAIR, NO. COMMISSIONER FOSTER, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, NO. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. I WANT -- NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE REZONE 4. AND I THINK WE HAD SPOKEN ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THIS IS ON THIRD AND HARBOR. WHERE COMMISSIONER LIVES. I REMEMBER, MR. FUNDERBURG, YOU SAID IF I WANTED TO LOOK UP SOMETHING HISTORIC, BECAUSE THE WATERFRONT THERE IS THE LOCATION OF THE WORLD WAR II LANDING SPOT. SO JUST KIND OF REMIND ME, WHAT DO I LOOK UP TO MAKE THAT SOME SORT OF HISTORIC DESIGNATION. >> AND THROUGH THE CHAIR. WE WERE DISCUSSING THAT WITH THE OFFICES OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION WINNING THE STATE. AND WE WERE TRYING TO REVIEW A COUPLE OF DISCUSSION ITEMS, WITH OUR CONSULTANT, WHEN PREPARING THE COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT ENTITLEMENT, TO INCLUDE SOME OF THAT ORDINANCE ITSELF. THOSE ARE QUESTIONS THAT I BELIEVE THAT CAME UP DURING OUR REVIEW OF THE GENERAL PLAN. THIS IS OVER THE LAST YEAR OR TWO. SO DEFINITELY THOSE THOUGHTS ARE AND WHAT YOU'RE DISCUSSING TONIGHT ARE FRESH ON MY MIND. >> IT STILL DOESN'T CHANGE THE ZONING BY ANY WAY. I MEAN, THIS PROPOSED ZONING. >> NO. THIS WOULD NOT IMPACT ANY DECISIONS THAT MADE, IF THERE WAS A DECISION IN REGARDS TO OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION. THE SITE ITSELF. JUST BECAUSE OF REZONING. THE GENERAL PLAN. LIKE I SAID, AGAIN, TONIGHT. THIS IS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE CONSISTENCY, WHILE WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE. >> YEAH. YOU KNOW, MY CONCERN IS, LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS THERE, DOESN'T OB OBSCURE THE FACT THAT THIS -- >> AND WHEN WE, TO TAKE A STEP BACK. WHEN WE LOOK AT INDIVIDUAL PROGRESS THAT COMES BEFORE YOU FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WE'LL HAVE THAT THROUGH THE CEQA PROCESS, WHEN WE'RE DOING OUR INITIAL STUDY. SO THERE WILL BE THE CALIFORNIA HISTORICAL RESEARCH. THEY CALL IT CHRIS INFORMATION. AND WE'LL ALSO HAVE ALL HISTORIC DATA THAT WILL BE REVIEWED AND LOOKED AT DURING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS. ONCE AN INDIVIDUAL PROJECT MOVES FORWARD. >> I UNDERSTAND. AND REZONE 5 QUESTION. SO THIS IS LARIDGE AND LELAND. THIS IS THE 1-ACRE SITE. WAS IT? ISN'T THERE --I THINK WE HAD RULED ON A PROJECT, A HOTEL. SO WHEN I'M SEEING LIMITED INDUSTRIAL, IT DOESN'T COVER THAT? >> NO. RIGHT NOW, THE VACANT --THE BUILDING IS VACANT, I BELIEVE. THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE, IF I CAN REMEMBER. BUT AGAIN, THE ECI, BECAUSE THE EMPLOYMENT CENTER INDUSTRIAL GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION, WHILE WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT TITLE UPDATE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT CONSISTENCY NOW, WITH ALL THE USES THAT ARE GOING TO BE PROPOSED DOWN THE ROAD. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY IT, BUT CALL IT TEMPORARY FIX. UNTIL WE CAN MAKE SURE WE GET EVERYTHING IN LINE WITH WHAT THE COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE TO SEE AND WHAT THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO SEE, AND THE COUNCILLED LIKE ON TO SEE. SO WE JUST TO WANT MAKE SURE WE'RE CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW WHILE WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS. >> I WAS JUST CONFUSED BECAUSE HOTEL IS COMMERCIAL, SERVICE COMMERCIAL. AND WHEN I'M SEEING LIMITED, LIKE, WASN'T HILTON --I THINK THEY HAD A PROJECT BEFORE US, AND WE HAD TO LET IT SIT. THANKS FOR THAT CLARITY. THAT'S ALL OF MY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. >> I HAVE A QUESTION. JUST FOR CLARITY. ACTUALLY, TWO. ONE, THE FIRST QUESTION IS TO PLEASE, FOR THE PUBLIC, DEFINE LIMITED INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL? ING AND ALSO AND ANOTHER THING I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY, THE GOLF COURSE WAS A GIFT, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND FOR THE RECREATIONAL. AND THERE WAS QUESTION ABOUT THE INDUSTRIAL OR COMMERCIAL ON THE GOLF COURSE. CAN YOU PLEASE CLARIFY THAT PLEASE? >> SO THROUGH THE CHAIR -- >> THROUGH THE CHAIR -- >> I WAS GOING TO --ACTUALLY, ACTUALLY, THE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL, I BELIEVE WE CAN DISCUSS THAT BECAUSE IT'S IN THE ACTUAL STAFF REPORT. THE ACTUAL USES. AND THEN A LITTLE BIT IN REGARDS TO THE GOLF COURSE. ALLISON AND I ARE KIND OF TAG TEAMED ON THAT. ALLISON IS WORKING ON THE ACTUAL PROJECT. [ INAUDIBLE ] YEAH. BUT TO KIND OF STEP BACK IN REGARDS TO THE GOLF COURSE ITSELF THERE. IS RECREATIONAL COMPONENT FOR FUTURE USES. IF IT DOES COME FORWARD AND COME TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND THERE WILL BE AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT PREPARED THAT WILL HAVE ALL THE DISCUSSION IN REGARDS TO UNDERLYING USES. YOUR ACTUAL RECREATIONAL USES. AND THOSE RECREATIONAL USES, AGAIN, THAT WAS ALREADY KIND OF IN PLAN, THAT THERE ARE STILL RECREATIONAL USES FOR THE COMMUNITY OUT THERE. SO I'M GOING TO TURN TO ALLISON REAL QUICK TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL. AND WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS . >> THROUGH THE CHAIR. WHILE WE'RE WAITING FOR MR. FUNDERBURG. CHAIR KOBATA, CAN YOU REPEAT YOUR QUESTION THAT FOR THE PUBLIC'S BENEFIT, YOU WANTED A DEFINITION FOR GENERAL INDUSTRIAL OR -- >> LIMITED. >> FOR WHAT IS LIMITED AND INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL? BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS THAT THERE MIGHT BE HEAVY, TOXIC THINGS HAPPENING UP THERE. OR, YOU KNOW, TEARING UP THE LAND. AND THEY'VE --YOU KNOW, THAT WAS QUESTIONS I'VE SEEN PEOPLE ASKING EACH OTHER. >> SO THROUGH THE CHAIR. I'M GOING TO --WHAT WE DO, WHEN WE'RE PLANNERS, WE STICK WITH THE WORD. WANT TO READ STRAIGHT FROM THE ORDINANCE. SO TO THE LETTER OF LAW, THIS, IN TURN WITH WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS MORE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL KIND OF, SERVICE COMMERCIAL, I'D WANT TO SAY, COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL TO PROVIDE FOR COMMERCIAL CENTERS, INDIVIDUAL STRUCTURES OR SITES, LOCATED WITHIN REASONABLE OR HIGH-DENSITY, SERVED BY LOCAL REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AND TRANSIT SYSTEMS, OKAY? AND THEN IN LOOKING BACK AT WHAT WE WOULD TALK ABOUT IN REGARDS TO INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS . >> I HAVE THE GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE GENERAL PLAN. I THOUGHT CHAIR KOBATA MIGHT HAVE WANTED THE DEFINITION OUT OF TITLE 18 ZONING ORDINANCE. >> THIS IS -- >> OKAY. SO INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING WHOLESALE WHERE HOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION, COMMERCIAL AND BUSINESS SERVICES, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, STORAGE USES, AGRICULTURAL FOOD AND DRUG AND INDUSTRIAL PROCESSING. SMALL RESTAURANT AND ANCILLARY COMMERCIAL USES ARE PERMITTED SUBJECT TO DESIGN STANDARDS. THAT'S FOR THE GENERAL PLAN, LAND USE DESIGNATION. BUR WE HAVE THE GENERAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT. WE HAVE A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT. WE HAVE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT. THERE'S NO PROPOSAL FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL? >> NOT FOR THIS LOCATION. AND THROUGH THE CHAIR, INDUSTRIAL PARKS. THAT'S AN INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT, WHEN YOU SEE THAT THROUGHOUT THE CITY. WE TRY TO STICK WITH WHAT IS SPECIFIC IN REGARDS TO INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES. AND WHAT THE BASE DISTRICTS ARE IN THE DEVELOPMENT TITLE. AND USE THOSE AS OUR BASE DISTRICT, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT PROJECTS AND BRINGING THEM FORWARD TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE CONSISTENT WITH THE GENERAL PLAN. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COMMISSIONER GORDON? >> THANK YOU. THROUGH THE CHAIR. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT AN OVERLAY ZONE GIVES THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE STAFF A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY THAN THE ACTUAL DEFINITIONS SO IF SOMEBODY COMES IN WITH A MANUFACTURING FACILITY AND WE'D RATHER SEE SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT LIGHTER, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S NEXT TO HOMES, AND THAT'S WHERE THE OVERLAY DISTRICT COMES INTO PLAY THEN IF STAFF CAN TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT? >> SO THROUGH THE CHAIR. I'M GOING TO TRY TO KIND OF TAG TEAM. AND ALLISON. I'M GOING TO LET HER DISCUSS IS THIS. AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT. SO --G
