 I'm going to go ahead and call to order tonight's meeting of the city of Santa Rosa planning commission and ask for roll call Please let the record reflect that all commissioners are present except commissioners of Crepti Calia and Duggan With that we will remove move to the approval of our December 12th minutes any Comets or corrections on those? Yes, I have a question probably for miss Crocker Since I wasn't at the December meeting and that would So I need to abstain, but we don't really vote on the minute, so Yeah, we just let them stand as printed, but and is there an issue You can you can abstain you're not required to but you can abstain from the minutes And then we can all you can agree that they are approved as written without a motion. Okay. Thank you Okay, so with no changes, we'll just go ahead and declare them approved as written With that we're going to move on to the time for public comments Which is a time for any member of the public to address the Commission on matters of interest to the Commission That are not listed tonight as a public hearing if And I hope your people are listening to me because I'm going to make an announcement The the Burbank Avenue item will not be a public hearing tonight We're being asked to continue it to February 13th, so that won't be on tonight If you wanted to make a comment on it now, you could do so under public comments I would highly recommend that you wait until we actually have the the item in front of us as a public hearing So that your your comments are well captured and we have the context for it We just want to warn you that when it gets to that item all we're going to do is make a motion to continue it to I think it's February 13th So, okay Alright with that I'm going to go ahead and open public comments And again if there's anyone that wishes to speak if you'd move to one of the Microphones I did have a card from mr. Dewitt this microphone right here. Ah, there you are Yes, it's on we got so used to looking back far far away Yeah, so are we Hello, my name is Dwayne DeWitt. I'm from Roseland, and I don't know if you paid attention It's a Tuesday night City Council meeting on the 14th of January in which the City Council Declared a climate emergency resolution Now what that means in a sense is we have to find out if it's going to be more show than go Or if we're really going to take it as a serious resolution With that in mind that would put you at the forefront of the climate emergency response team Actually the very first would be the design review board and the new folks So I'm hoping that you're coming up with some sort of a comprehensive and collaborative approach To this declaration by the City Council It shouldn't be something that just down the road you'll be like oh wow Yeah, we got a climate emergency and we might have to make an adjustment It should be right from the beginning every project that's being brought forward Should have that in it Especially because now the state and its general plan rules also states that you have to put in more of Elements you've always had some elements, but now they're even more concerned about environmental equity Environmental justice That's a term probably no one in Santa Rosa that I know other than the folks who suffer from injustice Has ever really brought up at a Santa Rosa Planning for City Council meeting and when we do they kind of look at you like what are you bothering me for get away What you get the drift The City Council of Santa Rosa has seriously taken a position and stated there is a climate emergency That means at least to those folks who pay attention to these types of issues That we need to make sure we are responding as soon as possible This is the type of thing that you can have a positive impact in your planning deliberations It shouldn't be just like well paragraph c Section a states this It should actually be the bedrock the baseline for all that you're looking at so that those youth 30 to 50 years from now have a better world than we have now not a worse one Today at the barrier the bay area air quality control management district There was an open house and a discussion about how they had founded that district in 1955 because of air pollution being so bad They had videos from the 60s and 70s talking about the problems then They're only going to worsen unless you folks change some of your tactics For planning approvals and land use policies. Thank you for your time Thank you, mr. Dewitt You did fill out a speaker card for 10.1 If you would like another three minutes to to speak on that matter You can or you can wait until the 13th. I'm not going to be opening a public hearing tonight So you can have another three minutes on the 13th You would say I spoke today and wouldn't let me have the second bite at the apple. Would you I wouldn't do that to you Oh my goodness Well, I'm going I said you feel free to make under public comments, but it's not part of a public hearing So I wouldn't deny you an opportunity on the 13th My name is dwayne dewitt. I'm from roseland. I live just down the street from the proposed project At what they say is 1400 burbank avenue But that's actually a site that they sold to the agricultural and open space district 10 years ago 1400 burbank avenue and That was a purchase that was made With santa rosa city staff encouragement To have a bike path on the south side of the creek roseland creek running east to west specifically stating in the general plan for santa rosa that there would be a class one bike path on that section Leading all the way from stony point road to mcman avenue In the planning documents for many of the things that are going forward We don't see that referred to as often as it could be I want to make sure that if this project goes forward That it has the linkage It has access To get to that bike path They just passed the santa rosa city Bicycle and pedestrian master plan And I don't see that plan being Aware of some of these linkage needs There's a property called ridge point Out closer to stony point road And they didn't look at that to have its bicycle connection to roseland creek essentially if you believe in this idea of alternative transportation and active transportation Which the metropolitan transportation commission endorses And encourages throughout the nine bay area counties You need to make sure that these things are put in in the beginning and memorialized into the land use policy That goes forward with any use permits any entitlements Otherwise it won't happen. I'm sure you've probably seen that somewhere in your readings in the past that Something might not have been done Because people didn't feel they had been told to do it So the only way we'll get it done Is if when you put in conditional use permits or any other type of permit you memorialize it You make sure in state there will be there shall be linkages to that I don't know what the city's going to call it It's just right now called a class one bike path from stony point road to mc minne avenue And for all this housing that's going in out there and all these extra trips That bike path will hopefully take some traffic off of the road Thank you for your time again and have a great new year you folks I know this could be a bit of a tedious and boring job Thank you, mr. Dwit I did have a card from mark perish on 10.1 if he still is here and wants to comment under public comments I'm not seeing him rise any other Individuals wanting to speak under public comments I am not seeing anyone move so i'm going to go ahead and close public comments for this evening and move on to new planning commissioners report Any reports tonight great then we'll move on to department reports All right. Thank you. I have a few things to highlight I'd like to always start with upcoming council meetings that may be of interest to us commissioners These are presented on their upcoming meetings list February 11th the council will be looking at the second 12 month tentative map automatic extension As related to the resilient city Processed we this is the second one We had had an initial one-year time extension applied and as you Know and acted on the we're moving forward with a second 12 month tentative map time extension that will go on february 11th On february 25th The council will be considering an urgency ordinance to update our accessory dwelling unit ordinance As you may know the state has continued to update and pass housing legislation and accessory dwelling units has been part of that in fact It's like five or six state laws have were recently passed in the last year and we're addressing those updates So our ordinance is in pretty good shape, but it still needs to be amended to comply with some of the more recent changes And those changes are in effect Currently as of january 1st of this year So not unlike other jurisdictions these these State laws passed with very little time to go and update your ordinance So we've done the best we can and we're going to be going forward with the urgency ordinance on february 25th And then just looking a little bit longer term, but it's an important Milestone for our city is the city council goal setting that's going to take place As a study session on march 12th To the 13th, so I think in years past it might have taken place in february, so I want to give you a heads up It's going to happen in march And also of interest there are a couple of council subcommittees coming up That we will be looking for the council subcommittees to move Some items of discussion forward with those committees and climate action The council Climate action policy subcommittee. I hope I got that name right Is meeting next week next wednesday january 29th, and we'll staff will be presenting an update status update on the city's climate action plan and also looking at options for Updating the elements of the of that plan In addition next week The cannabis policy council subcommittee will also be convening The emerging topic for that committee will be The emergence of the land use related to hemp and cbd products So staff has been learning quite a bit about these these types of products that are not cannabis products, but relatable So we'll be presenting information that we've learned To that subcommittee and looking for just community education on that and potential next steps In addition We will we are hoping to move forward with a contract on our general plan update We're going to the city council march 3rd with a proposed contract With mig and place works for our general plan comprehensive update that will take place over the next three years. So we're Anxious to get started on that process In addition, we're we're still staying the course and moving forward with our downtown plan update The commission was sent a Email earlier today This is a similar email that we've sent out to our community advisory committee And other boards and commissions and really any mailing group that we can get our hands on Just as an update to where we're at with the process.
