Building_development + Cross_cutting

1:39:03 and i just want to clarify that that some of that is not about just meeting the minimum required in hb 1110 but it is also about requiring about meeting the minimums and the targets of hb 12 20 um so just wanted to clarify that as well thank you very much i hope that's helpful for folks that had some questions about that a couple of questions for my part this is chair adegwemi thank you for touching earlier on the collaboration between the city and the county i think that was helpful to hear i'd also like to know a bit more about the density alignment with the uga if there are any more concrete statements to share in that regard and then moving on from that just wondering what are the mechanisms for feedback and any corrections after adoption in a more general sense um there's not like

1:40:02 a direct alignment between up stoning proposed in the urban growth area and and the city um i think again this is one reason why contemplating and planning for annexation to have one jurisdiction with one set of rules and development standards that are coordinated right makes some sense i also want to note that the county is not subject to hb 1110 it only applies to cities um so there's just going to be some differences for us um what was the second part of your question thank you the second part of the question was a completely different question okay that being what are the mechanisms for feedback and any corrections after adoption of the complaint assuming that it is adopted great thank you for repeating that get rebecca kennedy deputy director of community development um there are many mechanisms for feedback

1:40:57 and we will get feedback mark will get feedback at the counter and from people who are using the code our implementers get this all the time and a lot of our code changes and cleanups originate with problems identified by private sector developers or builders or our land use planners during the implementation of the application of the code to specific projects we will continue and we're having a conversation right now about continuing to engage people um we we've we've done a lot to build up people familiar with land use planning through this process in ways that i find like kind of amazing so there's there's enhanced education and understanding among some folks in the community and how do we keep that going so we're talking about a communication strategy which would involve continuing to have our listserv and email and solicit feedback that people are seeing um of course there's always planning

1:41:54 commission and council community forums um community communications um the ability to write in and then staff are available um people people should get in touch with us um i know for instance ben mccarty tonight i responded to his email today which was a little slow but i did respond and we always try to respond you know um so staff are available um and then we can change the we change the comprehensive plan um we can change it annually we update it um we can change our code anytime so i mean it's the people can provide feedback in lots of ways and we'll continue to not just be like available to receive it but we'll be asking for it um and we'll be talking to you all in the community about implementation thank you i think that's helpful and then just a couple of comments from my side it

1:42:53 is quite incredible to think that such a long and drawn out process is nearing its end i just want to highlight personally the work that i've seen from staff and community organizations and honestly even the general public i don't think engaging with the comprehensive plan is the easiest thing in the world to do given how long of a document it is and how big of an effort it is so even to all the people who have given competent any way shape or form i have to give some level of kudos to because it is a lot to wade through um what's before us today represents a lot of time energy consideration and the culmination of those concerted efforts to bring forth this update and so the feedback from the residents of the city has been considered weighed and more importantly valued and that to me is meaningful the planning commission has seen the plan moved from visioning to concrete concepts

1:43:47 to draft code to what's before us today over years um and i also appreciate that city staff and the presenters of course today in particular have been so transparent and vocal about the fact that the plan won't be 100 perfect at adoption and another meeting that i was in recently you know someone said no plan survives first contact i don't know that it'll go that far but i do think that it's it's important that we recognize that and i'm happy to hear that as part of the the presentation and the presentations i've observed over the last several years but what it will do is create the blueprint for the city that we want to see tomorrow for the vibrant and welcoming city that we strive to be and hope to become so it's been an honor to take part in this process with you all and to be chair at the

1:44:42 time of its conclusion so do we need any other deliberation to get to a vote okay then the chair will entertain a motion i move that the planning commission recommend uh adoption of the comprehensive plan motion has been offered is there a second commissioner jay second moved and seconded roll call vote please cara de guami vice chair pile yes commissioner beck yes commissioner castinson yes commissioner cabell yes commissioner jay aye commissioner wheeler yes by my account all eyes the motion

1:45:38 passes yes thank you do we need to redo that could we clarify for the record that the motion included the recommendation to adopt the comprehensive plan as well as the zoning code is that yes the intent of your motion that was the intent of my motion that the motion include the adoption of both the comprehensive plan and the zoning code hearing that does that change anyone's okay so then that is the intent of the motion as passed by the planning commission that's okay thank you the legal voice is still all around us at all times okay i think that takes us out of this item it's it's quite strange to say but is that the last we'll

1:46:36 see of the this part of the effort at the planning commission unless it is remanded to you by council then the the establishment of the new planning code um will not come back to you again unless it's remanded for some reason um the you were never out of it and it is never the end because it is an evolving document and um as in fact as we've been working on the planning commission's work plan for the remainder this year we've been thinking about things that we would normally have brought to you context pieces commissioner pile voted brought it up at the last meeting about the recent council workshop on our production numbers and wanting to bring you that information we've got updates on things coming but also the implementation step so um the the of this long involved phase um this is likely not

1:47:33 for sure the end but you will never escape it okay with such great words the public hearing item is now closed and that takes us into staff and commissioner communications any communications from staff today just want to confirm with the commission so earlier this year in lieu of our typical retreat that we have at the beginning of the year we did a pretty in-depth training on open public meetings conflict of interest gma the land use review like development review process but we committed to a retreat and so just want to recommit and sort of remind um everyone that that that's happening and i'll be working with the chair and vice chair to figure out when to schedule that um so we will we will we will retreat at some time this year likely during this pause hopefully sometime and and

1:48:31 then we can in the fall we start sort of regular meetings in a more typical um typical agenda and cadence okay thank you very much communications from the commission commissioner cavil um no further comments okay vice chair paul no commissioner beck commissioner wheeler commissioner jay commissioner castenson there being no further communications from the planning commission we are officially sorry one comment okay commissioner cavil i guess i just thought i'd um bring it up again because it was actually your suggestion in the last meeting that we deputize you and vice chair pile to present our commissions um well obviously they have what we recommended but our thoughts um in person at the next meeting of the city council yes and that will

1:49:28 occur okay however that will not be at the next meeting but at the meetings that are germane to the comprehensive plan correct the next one in may i believe may 11th and june 1 is what you have we've discussed correct yes for the record if anyone wants to come see excellent thank you for that call out are there communications okay we are hereby adjourned
