 Okay, I think we're ready to go. Is everybody ready? Are we live yet? Um, is everybody ready? Yes. Ready. Hey, Sean, can you... The day's meeting is not correct. Isn't this December 2nd today? Yes. I think it is. I hope so. On to the next slide. Okay, Dean. I have a reason I know that. I'm a child of slain writer. Is it your birthday? No. Just stay tuned. Wow, look at that. Are we live? Yeah, we are live. Okay, good. Okay, ladies and gentlemen. Capital and residents, welcome to the December 2nd Planning Commission. And, as usual, we'll be broadcast on Charter Communications Cable TV Channel 8 and AT&T U-Verse Channel 99. Our technician tonight is Walter, and if you care to participate on any of the agenda items or during our communications, if you look at your screen, you'll see now there's many ways you can by calling in, joining a webinar, and we'd love to have you join in if you have anything to add to our meeting. So with that, we have the will call please, Chloe. Yes, Commissioner Christensen. Here. Commissioner Newman. Here. Commissioner Westman. Here. Commissioner Wilk. Here. Chair Ruth. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. There has been so many things going on here. Shall we clarify? Thank you. Everyone can say so. Congratulations. Perfect. Awesome. Thanks so much, Thank you. Thank you very much. You're welcome. share with your on mute there we go I lost I lost connection it may help to turn off your video if you're having difficulty with your connection that's right now so that brings us to item two on our agenda tonight which is oral communications our first part of that is addition to the legions to the agenda Katie do we have any of those we did receive one additional public or one public comment on I am for being 109 Sacramento out of it from a neighbor in support of that project and I can't hear you else today yeah I've seen that hopefully everybody does she supports the debt okay any public comments now it's the time for members of the public or addressing items of concern that are not on the agenda tonight so we'll give you a little bit of time here to weigh in if you have anything to add to the meeting tonight I'm not seeing any hands right go through I can see which is commissioned comments any commissioners have any you're in no one move on the staff on it yeah I do have a few staff comments so So first, Olivia, would you mind if I wanted to introduce you to Olivia Baer, so that you can see her in your screen. Olivia Baer reached out to me during the handover and asked if we had any internships available once she was at UC Santa Barbara last year. So I had the pleasure of working with her, but she did a study remotely for the city level rise and what other communities they're doing to update their LCPs. And she put together a great paper for me just outlining where other communities are in the process, very informative, what kind, what they've been adding to their codes and what the coastal commission has had them add to their codes. We have some really great research and research paper that Olivia put together. And Olivia, this past summer, or last spring, graduated from Santa Barbara and she is a local. She was in Aptos and her family has owned a very popular business here in the city of Capitola and is very well-rooted here. And she, if I ever reached out to her when we were short staffed and said would you like another opportunity to come into our office and start helping with the day-to-day work within our office. So Olivia has been such an asset to Sean and I over the past two months, three months of this point, helping out with the day-to-day planning and admin responsibilities. And I just wanted to let you all know, introduce Olivia and let me know what she's been doing behind the scenes. She was recently offered a position in San Diego, so she will be leaving us. She'll be heading down there in January. But just, just really wanted to do my thanks for all of our work here and let you all know who's been helping us out behind the scenes. I think, I know Sean and I talked about how much we're doing this or not already. So it's just been a great asset to our team. So thank you, Olivia, and we wish you the best. She'll be here at the end of the year. Do you have anything you want to add, Olivia? No, just it's been a great experience learning attempt. So thank you. Thank you, Olivia. You've picked the second best place to the state to land. Yeah, we've had great success with interns. As Peter knows well from having Joe, his daughter Joanne was an intern here and then we've got a great planning commissioner out of that internship and she moved on to work over the hill. And then of course, John's and San's have started off as an intern and we were so lucky to be able to keep him. So that's my first update. And thank you, Olivia. She didn't have work for Rich Bruno down there? Not for Rich Bruno. He'll be closed by. Okay, just wondering. The second update I have for you tonight is last night the city council did adopt or accepted the first reading of the ordinance without outdoor dining. They took all of the dining tuition changes to the ordinance other than the locations and they kept sidewalk dining in the ordinance. So the sidewalk dining stayed in the ordinance. They allowed sidewalk dining may add a capital avenue to the list of sidewalk dining locations. And then they brought back the street dining back on Monterey Avenue and Capitola Avenue. But during their deliberations they all gave us sincere thanks to the planning commission. There were many of all the rest of your changes made it into the ordinance. They recognized the hard work and they understood they needed to do this right. And they did want to move the ordinance forward so they have something permanent hopefully this summer starting for that three year trial. So again there are things in appreciation for your hard work on that. And if you have any questions feel free to contact me and talk through any of that. And lastly the city council they updated their recently two meetings ago they updated the reimbursement policy for digital reading devices. I'm going to send that to you via email so you'll have an updated version of that and just know if you're ready. Now that we're so dependent on our technology for these meetings budget has gone up and it has a little more flexibility included. So I'll be sending that to you through email and let me know if you'd like to utilize any of those funds. So that's that for you. And with that that concludes my comments. Okay thank you Katie. That brings us to item three tonight. The approval of the minutes. We have two meetings that we have to address. I think we'll probably take them separately. The first meeting is October 7th of 2021. The minutes from that meeting is there a motion to approve any additions or corrections? I'll make a motion to approve. Anyway we have a motion. Is there a second? I'll second it. I think we have a motion and a second. The second is like Commissioner Wilk. Very the roll call please Chloe. Commissioner Christensen. Aye. Commissioner Newman. Aye. Commissioner Westman. Aye. Commissioner Wilk. Aye. Chair Ruth. Thank you. I think we have a motion to approve. The second meeting is from the meeting of November 4th. Is there a motion to approve those minutes? I'll move. Commissioner Wilk. I'll second. Okay. Commissioner Christensen second. May I have the roll call please again Chloe? Commissioner Christensen. Aye. Commissioner Newman. Commissioner Westman. Aye. Commissioner Wilk. Aye. Chair Ruth. The minutes are approved. That brings us to item 4 tonight the consent calendar. We have three items on the consent calendar tonight. One of them is calling for a continuation. Would there be a motion to approve or does anybody want to pull any items for discussion? If no one wants to pull anything I'll make an motion to approve it. Okay. The second to approve the consent calendar. I'll second it. Commissioner Wilk. Aye. Commissioner Christensen. Aye. Commissioner Newman. Aye. Commissioner Westman. Aye. Commissioner Wilk. Chair Ruth. Okay. That brings us to item 5 our public hearings. We have two tonight. And the first public hearing is I think just an overview of the new state of California housing legislation. There seems to be a lot of likely in the community development housing work plan. Katie, is this going to be you or Sean? This is actually my contributions to Layla. Layla. Okay. Yeah. From our attorney's office. Layla's we give an update of the recent legislation. And I will tune in at the end so you can find a lot of work fun. Okay. Layla. Hi. Good evening. Chair Ruth. Commissioner. Staff. Pleasure to see you all over Zoom that week. My name is Layla. I'm the senior associate with the state of California housing. So we have a pleasure working with Sam Butler on a regular basis. We may know. I'm going to be sharing my screen right now. But I think it looks like a muster who's sharing right now. But okay. I should be able to see that. And then we'll go to the presentation. Okay. Can everyone see the presentation? Okay. Yeah. Okay. Wonderful. Okay. So Layla. Yeah. Before you start. I just want to make it clear. I think there is a few. That everything that was on the consent calendar. So if you have an item on consent to the task, but you want them to continue to attend the meeting. Thank you. There's been a lot of activity. State web is like, sure. This year has been no exception. Okay. So I love, yeah. Before you start. I just want to make it clear. I think there is a few. That everything that was on the consent calendar. I saw me. They're the public that everything that was on consent. Pass this evening. So if you have an item on consent to the task, but you'll come to continue. To attend the meeting. So thank you. Every year. Has been no exception. Particularly related to housing in California. Which continues to be sort of the evergreen. Popular topics. Past new exciting and sometimes. Nerve-wracking legislation. So tonight we're going to just be talking about. of housing legislation. First we'll talk about SC-9 which involves the ministerial approval of two units and lots with development. There is also some streamlining updates from SC-8 and SC-10 and then lastly the bill that kind of does a little bit with our housing element in terms of our timeline and things that we need to look out for, that's 80-13-98. So starting off with this year's most popular topic of discussion that we've related to housing is SC-9 which is the two units and lots with legislation. And what SC-9 does essentially is it provides for the ministerial approval of up to two units on a single lot. And in addition the other part of SC-9 also allows for the creation of two lots essentially lots with. Now this has created whatever panic in a lot of places throughout the state you know thinking about is this the end of you know single-family housing, what does this mean, how is this implemented. And yes it is much of an effect anticipating right now. However and so one of the big reasons for that is currently abstracted SC-9 would apply for example in Capitola to the R1 zone only. And this is because the current interpretation of SC-9 and I should frame this with a slight caveat that could be subject to change pending updated HGC update or guidelines, HGD guidelines. But as of now at least the SC-9 will only apply to zones that are currently designated for single-family and that do not currently have or allow for multiple family settlements. So again in Capitola we're just talking about the R1 zone. Now we still can apply also even though they're the ministerial approval process that doesn't eliminate the possibility of applying local development standards and even include setbacks of up to four teams up to one parking space per unit. Although zero parking would be allowed or would be allowed to be required if you're near major transit. We must of course require that rental for longer than 30 days and we have to allow for a minimum of 800 square feet. The city can't deny SC-9 project if the project would have a specific adverse impact on health and safety or the physical environment and that there's no reasonable feasible way to kind of mitigate those impacts. So SC-9 is all about objective standards. What does an objective standard mean? Well basically it means that you have no personal or subjective judgment by public official and that it's uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark of criterion available and knowable by the development applicant, local climate and the public official. And that's basically a long-winded way of describing the checks. So one way could be a thing about effective standards or ministerial approval process is whether or not you can have a checklist and if folks need that checklist then you know the project gets approved and if they don't then they don't. So some examples of effective standards include height, setbacks, walk coverage, percentage of open space, empty, car, etc. When we look at we can ask ourselves you know how would a new single-family home which requires a design permit from the planning commission be reviewed in the new year because that's kind of what we're looking at primarily is our one-zone power single-family home is going to be looked at under SC-9. Well SC-9 allows for up to two homes per lot. It doesn't specify that there has to be two. So potentially none home would also be subject to the ministerial approval of SC-9. Therefore we only need to find objective development and design standards, again height, setbacks, floor area ratio, one parking space per unit and we would not be able to apply discretionary criteria which is most of our current design permit criteria. Things like protecting privacy or being compatible with the neighborhood look and feel. So again we want to ensure that we are applying an effective checklist to these applications as opposed to qualitative standards. Some examples of standards that are found that have been found by the courts to not be effective. Things like special care shall be taken to avoid obstructing leaves. Produce high quality authentic design reflect the look and feel of the community or even the map for the vision map app writing that the site is not physically suitable for the proposed development. Anything that requires that kind of judgment or has that kind of fuzzy language that requires a judgment call or discretion takes you out of objectiveness. Some additional SC-9 requirements that are specific to the lots with aspects and I can kind of quickly go through them and talk about them more in detail if you'd like. Essentially the lots have to be roughly equal size. You can have a giant block on one side and a small angle corner on the other and no smaller than 1200 square feet. Other than the quality of requirements in the subdivision map app, it doesn't need to comply with all of the requirements. And it requires that the standards imposed can't preclude the construction of two units on IA with split parcels or results in an unit size of less than 800 square feet. Allow the requirement. That's going to put the requirement for each minute and right away. So for example, if you have a black block, we can require access to the house in the back or the lot in the back. It requires owner occupancy of one unit for a minimum of three years from the date of approval and this is achieved by an affidavit. And it also prohibits more than two units on parcels that are already subdivided through an urban lot split. So just junior eight, eight years, junior eight years and pregnant 12 units. So I think there was one concern at one point where that folks would, you know, build a second unit, do a lot split, throw a couple of 80 years and you would have, you know, a city essentially. Well each city one lot, but that's not really that necessary. And then lastly, adopting an S&I local ordinance which is defiable is exempt from SIPA. So we are recommending that we go ahead and update the municipal code to implement S&I locally. This will allow us to implement our own application review process as well as objective development and sign standards that fit with the CDH and our goals. So next we'll move on to SPA. SPA essentially extends the time of the housing crisis act for SB 330 from 2025 to 2030, so five year extension. It's also specific to the topic of permit streamlining as related to affordable housing projects. So it allows for preliminary review and also your maximum of five hearings on those affordable housing projects. It also modifies the real patient assistance requirements to help ensure that if you have affordable housing you're replacing it and also that there's a right of first refusal for folks who have been displaced by new construction. And it also updates some of the definitions. We don't have to necessarily go into that tonight. We don't need to really do any municipal updates for SPA. There will be quality increased tracking of development applications to make sure that we're complying with the streamlining and the extended timing. And that's SP10. So these are again streamlined opportunities and this is time for upstopping. So SP9 is a completely permissive bill. So it allows the city to adopt an ordinance authorizing housing development projects with 10 or fewer units per parcel in transit-reached areas or urban and rural sites. And it essentially means it's easier for cities to up-zone and to increase density in certain areas provided that those areas match the requirements of the legislation, which includes that the parcel cannot be located in a very high-fire hazard, severity them, or if they were subject to a border restriction, that would mean open space, parks, recreational purposes. And one of the, you know, so the city council or the city of Catatola has the option of creating such an up-downing ordinance to kind of streamline this process. And then lastly, we'll talk about 18, 19, 18, which goes a little bit into the housing development and one of our favorite topics, where we met them first. Laila? Yeah. Before you go on, I was just going to advise you at the top of your screen where it says display settings. Yeah. I think if you click on that there might be an option to do that. Okay. Or? Yeah. Yeah. And then it should, right now I'll show you notes. So try to look at it and see if that will, there you go. Much better. Okay. Thank you. Yes. Okay. So we know Rina is all about identifying housing sites or like two-company housing. And this is all part of our housing element update. And essentially, if we cannot identify enough sites to accommodate women, then we have to use our housing element to identify specific sites for rezoning in order to create those housing opportunities to satisfy their main obligation. So the necessary rezoning needs to be done within three years, which is faster than normal, usually five to six years. So it can be up to four years if you have certain findings that are needed. And the time to reduce to one year is the housing element is about the rate or not served at on time. So women sites must allow housing development with 20% lower income only as a permitted use. There's no SQL review for that. And again, limited to those effective design sliders. So in terms of next steps, we're going to be, in case I'm going to talk a little bit more about this in detail, but we'll be continuing to work on updating the housing element to achieve HCB certification by December 2023. And we'll be to ensure that we have the council adoption of the housing element within 120 days of the December 31, 2023 deadline, or we run into the rezoning issues. So yeah, just to conclude, if you haven't already noticed, there's that length of overarching trends, which are moving heavily towards family, multi-family residential friendly legislation. And this is only expected to increase over the next several years. The inventory of housing needs to be not meeting the demand. And so there will probably continue to be these movements toward, you know, making it easier or even forcing local jurisdictions to allow for these greater density development projects. And, you know, it kind of goes into affordability with close supply of high demand. Housing prices are pretty high. It goes to inventory and it goes to equity as in terms of, you know, focusing on both access. And that kind of wraps up my portion of the presentation. And then Katie, I'll turn it over to you. Great. Can you go to the next slide, please? Yes. I think there's a timeline. There's two slides. Okay. So first I just want to thank you, Leila, for your presentation. Right after we adopt a new zoning code, you know what comes next, right? State having us through again. So we'll be jumping into this in the new year. And I just wanted to also update you with the discussion on the housing element. We were expecting our rena numbers to go up by the read of four times their current amount. So at a little over, I think we're at 160 more or less. I was expecting the numbers to come in somewhere between 450 and 600 in the new update. At the last AMBAG meeting that we had early this week, the previous meeting, the capital, the number was a little over 700. And at the last meeting, as we're looking at, typically we looked at jobs and transit, the new requirements that we're now looking at resiliency. So wildfire areas, but it's essential to wildfire will get less and sea level rise. So that helps capital a little bit being down the number. But we're also looking at equity. And equity is a large number within the current calculations. And less diverse cities will, their numbers will go up in terms of AMBAG. So or in terms of rena numbers. So currently with draft calculations, which the board will be looking at next week, we're now at 1,090 units of new capital. So there's more work to be done. They, in this consideration, they haven't really taken into consideration how small the city of capital is compared to our other jurisdictions. I expect that the number will decrease. But just that we've got our work cut out for us. And that's why I wanted to bring this forward so that nobody's surprised what we'll be putting on the RFP for the housing element update in January. So the housing element update will go through the next two years. We have to have it in for each city review by the fourth quarter of 2023. We're currently working on the multi-family objective standards, bed nobles under contract for that. But at the same time, we're going to work with our city attorney to draft out the single family effective standards for SB 9 to get that place as soon as possible. So I'm going to show you this timeline. And that concludes our presentation. I wanted to have Layla here for any specific questions you may have about the new legislation. I'm sure there may be a lot of them. Does anyone like to address the question to Layla? No, this is a question. Well, I've got a question. You talked about which one it was at the Chenmei for the up-doning. And I'm trying to imagine, so there's this mall development thing where they were going to have 600 units. And there was some pushback on that. So we could zone that and say, okay, let's just put all of our re-enact units like in that location. And that would cover it. We could just fix it off and say, this is where we're going to cover this. So within the rena numbers, it's not just market rate units. It's broken down between very low, low, moderate and above moderate. So if we were to say that a lot of rena numbers were going to come from the mall development, then all of those units would have to be affordable if they were going to take that whole burden. So currently, I think with the mall development as proposed, it would have been about a little over, I think close to 100 units would have had more than 15% of the overall total. It doesn't get us anywhere close. So we'll never get close. I had a question. No, Mr. Layla, I seem to remember reading, it might have been SB 9, but I'm not sure that there was some distinction drawn between cities of less than 50,000 and cities of more than 50,000 in terms of application of the statute. In one of the earlier jobs, SB 9 applies to all cities as well as urbanized counties. Urbanized means sort of a basic application for the census. So it's definitely all cities. Okay, I'll have to go back ahead again. That was in our packet somewhere, but I don't recall. Any other questions? I have a question. In talking about the mall project, which is probably the biggest area where housing is going to be provided in Capitola, one of the real concerns up there is current traffic and the additional traffic that will be provided by this new development. So are you saying that there is no way any longer to require the development to deal with all of those? I heard most of the question. I can wait to know. Basically, I'm asking, can we require traffic improvements of the developer in areas where the development's going in and it's going to have a significant traffic impact? Or is that taken off the table now? Well, if the project does fall under SB 9, which is a question in that itself, then no, we would not be able to implement these kind of discretionary traffic analyses. But we would first have to figure out if we're even dealing with an SB 9 project at all. Anyway, I'm not sure the current zoning or the zoning will be a little project. So it's regional commercial and so the SB 9 would not apply in our, because it will only apply to our R1 parcels. And the other thing that in the review of the objective standards, it only applies when somebody brings in a complete new unit. So it will not affect how we look at additions to homes, but it will affect any new units that come in or these subdivision applications for two months. Okay, Katie, I have a question on the up zoning to the 10 units per parcel. Is there a definition as to how large that parcel has to be? Who determines that? Well, Latino, there is a requirement for size on SB 10. I'll talk to my head, but I can double off child. That would probably all be hammered out in an ordinance that would be adopted. And I'm sure we have to specify, you know, then on the off side of this as well. Not to double type of SB 9 itself identified, and on the off side, I can get that. That's all in turn. The city does not have to follow SB 10. It just gives us the ability to adopt that ordinance, if you'd like, so it's not required. Any other questions for Layla while we're here? There is none. Thank you, Layla, so much for the presentation. Yes, thank you, Layla. Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Commissioner. It's been a pleasure. Let me have, again, any other questions, my email along the iTunes. Okay, thank you. Thank you. It brings us to item B under public hearings tonight, which is the Prototype ADU program. Okay, we've got our workbench and better designs team back, and I'm going to let them do introductions of like y'all to meet them. And then I think Omar is going to be the best team. Hi, everyone. Great to be back. I'll introduce myself. I'm Omar. I'm an architect at workbench, and I'll let the rest of the team introduce themselves now. Alexander, do you want to next? Hi, everyone. I'm Alexander. I'm working with Omar on the design portion of the project. Hi, this is Camille Keenan. I'm the founder of Workbench and not really doing a lot, just letting out doing that. Omar is doing really excellent work, providing feedback. And hi, guys. I'm Sam Sutter. I'm founder of Meta Urban Design, and I'm a sub consultant to Workbench, and I'm dealing with the informational materials, which I'll talk more about in a moment. Great. So that is the team, and I'm going to share my screen now. They're with me for a second here. And if you could just let me know with a thumbs up if you can see my screen. So, it's a theater. Yeah, I'm having some flickering here. Hang on one second. There it is. You want to see my screen now? It says you can start it. Yeah, here we go. There's a little lag maybe. There it is. Hopefully this works then. So, Omar, I'm only seeing pieces. Are you guys seeing that too? Yeah. It's just only the lower right hand corner. I could try to share it from my computer if you'd like. Omar, I have it. Sure. Let's try. Okay, great. Thank you so much, Katie. If you want to go ahead and jump ahead a few slides. And so, today we're going to talk about the schematic design package we completed for the Capital AAU program. And so, if you want to skip ahead to one more slide there, perfect. So, last time we met, we gave a little presentation about our process leading up to what you're seeing on the screen right now, which is the design for three unit types, which is a studio, a one-bedroom and a one-bedroom plus, sometimes called a two-bedroom, sort of a flexible unit on the end there. And you'll notice that we ended up three versions of the studio, a small, medium, and large. And this was based on work with city planners, Katie specifically, to identify buildable lot sizes, where we were trying to think of how to make these units most adaptable to most lots in Capital AAU. And so, we presented these four plans last time, which is the five four plans. And we had identified three architectural styles, which is the craftsman, the farmhouse, and the beach bungalow. And last time, we had shared that exterior design development for the one-bedroom unit. And since then, we've gone through and completed the exercise for all the four plans you're seeing on the screen now. So we'll walk through that briefly and talk about some of the final tweaks we've made. You want to go to the next slide? Perfect. So this is the studio small. This is the smallest unit that we have. It is 10 feet wide by 25 feet, and it should fit on the majority of Capital Alots that could have an AAU in their backyard. On the, you'll see when you enter in the center of the unit, there is no circulation space. It is the most efficient, tightest plan of all. There is a bed area on the right with a full wall, a full height storage, a small kitchenette directly in front of the door, and a bathroom, a full bathroom, on the left side. For this unit, we're proposing that there is lofted storage over the bathroom area. And then you'll see on the left-hand side of the slide, the three architectural styles, which is the craftsman, the farmhouse, and the beach bungalow. Keep in mind, we're just showing exterior design notions on this. When people select these, they can obviously change the side interior. They can select colors that match their unit design and desires. And so these are just sort of inspirational images of the three styles that will be provided by elevations. The studio medium is slightly larger, the 12 by 25. There is an added washer dryer at the bottom left-hand corner there. And you'll notice just a slightly larger, more local unit for lots that are able to accommodate it. And then the same thing again, the exterior designs are almost exactly the same on all of these studios, but just showing the sort of the fact that there's a material and how you can achieve these different styles very minimal changes to the actual building. And then the studio large is the largest of the studios. It's a 12 foot by 32 foot. In this one, we're able to actually accommodate a living space adjacent to that bed area. Could be a dining space, a little bit more flexible on a studio unit. The next one is a one bedroom. This is a true one bedroom with a dedicated built-in closet, space for a wash dryer, and a full bathroom. There's a full-sized kitchen in this one with additional full head storage and a living space that you enter off of a door that is sort of tucked around the corner gives surprises to the AMU. Again, we're proposing to lock the storage over the bathroom and a closet area of this unit. And you can see that the exterior design is a little bit more articulated on this one. It really does feel like a small home. So we're really excited about how this one turned out. And you can see some of the differences between the different exterior styles more magnified in these larger units. And then the last one is the one bedroom plus, sometimes called the two bedroom. In this one, we're proposing sort of a flexible, longer living kitchen bar that could be used as an additional bedroom or could just be a larger living space for a more flexible, larger living room, a dedicated dining room, perhaps a work space. Really the idea here is to give people and home owners the opportunity for maximum flexibility. And so now Alexander is going to talk a little bit about what we're starting to do next and how we're organizing our drawing sets moving forward. Great, thank you. I just want to quickly update everyone on where we are at our work in this Mac design phase. And along with doing all the work on the exteriors that Omar just spoke to, we're also starting to formulate our drawing set. And do that in a way that is going to be the most user friendly for homeowners that are taking advantage of the program. So what you're looking at here is kind of a template for what we're working on for the main first use, which are all the project information for homeowners. And the idea will be that a homeowner can take this first sheet, decide what style of ADU they want, decide what size of ADU they want, check the box. The box will say, hey, if you want to let the studios each bungalow, you're going to use sheet XYZ. They'll put in their project information and just as it's in the Mac, and then this is all information that the building department needs in order to review. The other thing we're working on is we've put together beginnings of each architectural set. So this will be the first page and we do have it, we don't have all of them to show you, it's for time, but we've done this for every side option and exterior style starting together architectural sheets with exterior elevations in the next phase of the project. All right, so for the inspirational materials again that's where my piece comes in. I want to explain how that fits with the larger Capitola ADU program. And so with the informational materials we wanted to help residents, property owners understand what kinds of ADUs they can build, what lots, what resources are available. So this is probably a recap for a lot of you, but there are three levels of review for ADUs. The first layer, that's where workbench's pre-design plans come in. Those are all the ADUs under that threshold at 800 square feet. Beyond that, there's the second layer of review that's also administrative and then there's the third level which you guys are the experts on. So part of what the inspirational materials will do is to just explain those different buckets of review and explain the different criteria to help property owners understand which level of review they want to pursue and the rationale behind the different layers. So for instance, if they're just dealing with the size requirements and they can understand the difference between the first layer review, second layer review, if they're degrading from the standards and that's where they'll have to go and get planning commission review. So one of the major intentions behind the informational materials is just to explain that process and the difference kind of choose your own adventure review process that property owners can go down. The second major intention of these informational materials is to just illustrate these standards. So even as I was explaining a different level of review, I was getting lost in all the different requirements. So a picture of this worth is thousand words. That's really my expertise. As a planner and a landscape architect, I really lost illustrating regulations. So that's part of what I'm bringing to this team is making sure that as we're explaining the different levels of review, we're also explaining what the standards are intending to support in the built environment. So you don't need an attorney or a planning degree to understand the standards. It could be really user friendly and engaging. And so the graph on the right is an example of work that I'm doing for Milpitas right now. Very similar process, but I'll work closely with workbench. So the whole package of materials will have a consistent look and feel and will definitely be in the same graphic vocabulary. But that will be the next stage of this project. And I'm really excited to build off of more questions, great plans and help you guys round out this ADU program. Great. And so for next steps for us, our plan is to be complete with our work in Q1 of next year. And then our next checkpoint will be to go through the building plan review, where each of these drawing sets is reviewed by a planning planner. And then hopefully we'll have a lovely functioning program for Capitola. I think that's all we've got, Katie. Yeah, thank you. So yes, the next steps will be that the plans will be reviewed by our building department. And I just wanted to make sure that there's really no action that the planning person needs to take on this item, that just that they've developed the plans that you're expecting based on the last review and just to get your blessing to continue on. I think you're doing a really, really good job on quarantine. It looks really nice. Could I have a question? Sure. Well, yes. Thank you, Commissioner Ruth. So I was trying to imagine being an applicant about coming into the staff desk there and say, hey, I mentioned the EU, I want to look at this for sure. And the first question that would come to my mind after I got kind of excited about it, I said, well, do you have a real idea of how much each of these are going to cost? Is there any thought of somehow our lending, the construction costs based on 2021 construction costs? These will take whatever. Again, I think that that kind of thing would be really helpful, even if it was just a rough order of magnitude kind of thing. Is there any thought about providing that kind of information, Kay? You know, I don't think we have that included in our scope, but I think it's a great idea. Omar, is that something that is easily done within the workbench team, or is that... I'll actually let you really speak to that. We could definitely do that, Kay. I don't know if our fee on this one has enough in it, but if we get to the end and we have enough time left, I'd be happy to help with that. Yeah, construction pricing is not pretty right now, so hopefully it would change a lot in 2023 in the downward direction. So, you know, we could provide some pricing now and it will inevitably change, but we could at least give people some, you know, kind of ballpark figures. I think we look mad. So, Kay, I'm happy to touch you exactly on the project in the future. Okay, thank you. Yeah, I know it's not in our current scope, but I think it's a great idea. Thank you. Okay, any other questions? Very nothing, we'll move on. Thank you again, Omar, and your team. Thank you. Thank you all. Yeah, thanks. Great. Thank you. Hey, Kay, do you have a director's report for us? I do not have a director's report for you. This was at tonight. Any commission communications? Mr. Newman. Yeah, I want to get back to the date of the hearing here. The reason I knew that the date was incorrect when I was put up on the screen is because today's date is what's known as a polyndrome, 12-0-2-2-0-2-1. The forwards and backwards are the same. So that's important for the commission to know. Yeah, thank you for that. Okay, good. Thank you. Any other questions or concerns, communications? Very none, and we'll adjourn to our January meeting. Oh, you've picked a new chairman at that time, chairperson. And happy holidays, everyone. Have a wonderful Christmas. Thank you. Have a great holiday. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Have a good holiday.
