City staff will be at in person at the meeting. And. Interested members of the public are encouraged also to join in person, but there will also be zoom. Information for computer and phones. Available as well. I'm going to move on to. Item four, which is consent items for which we have none. And then moving on to item five, which is our scheduled items. The first one is a public meeting. For the Timothy road Roseland emmer enterprise. Project. It is exempt from the California environmental quality act. This is a design review project. And it's located at 460 Timothy road. The minor design review is for an existing. 11,520 square foot industrial building. The project consists of adding 3,882 square feet to the existing building, including a new trash enclosure, new landscaping and exterior lighting. The planner project planner is Monae Chicago. I'm going to share my screen and start my presentation. Okay. Let's go. Okay. You did the introduction. So I will skip to the next page. The project, as you mentioned, is at 420. Timothy road. And the picture below here shows the existing building. Beach. The applicant is proposing to make exterior changes to this building. Adding a new 3,429 square foot addition. And new trash enclosure equipment place, which will be screened new landscaping and exterior lighting. The applicant will pay the parking lot, stripe it and bring it into compliance with our ADA requirements. And the property is zoned light industrial, which is consistent with the general plan of the project. Here is an aerial view of the project site. The building has been vacant for a while. And it's not being used. So just another background a few weeks ago or maybe months ago, there was also a conditional use permit for this project. The applicant is proposing to use this building for cannabis microbusiness. The applicant is proposing to use this building for cannabis microbusiness. So there was a use permit that was approved by the planning commission. And this is a minor design review permit for the site. And here are just some pictures of the existing uses along Timoti Road. This area has interesting zones on the eastern side. We have industrial uses. And on the western side, we have residential uses. So on the eastern side, we have residential uses. And on the western side, we have industrial uses. And on the western side, we have residential uses. So on the left side, right side here, you see industrial land uses, a warehouse, wine storage and distribution. And on the left side, the pictures are of the residential uses on Timoti Road. And these pictures here are showing the existing site, existing landscape, parking lot and the existing building as it stands today. And here are exterior fences and gate for the site. And here is the proposed site plan that shows the new addition in the front of the building, the striped parking lot, the buyer attention and the trash enclosure. And actually there's also a screen wall in the back where the equipment will be placed as screen. And here is the landscape plan. The applicant is proposing to landscape and add trees and shrubs there. It's going to look much better than what it is there right now. And provide also fire access. And these are the proposed elevation of this building. And here, I just want to show you the top picture for the existing building. And the lower picture is the proposed illustration of this building. And this project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and qualifies for two categorical exemption and one statutory exam project. Staff did not receive any comments or questions regarding the proposed project. And with that, the planning and economic development department recommends that the zoning administrator by resolution approve a minor design review permit for the property located at 460. So what he wrote the applicant, Michael Napolitano is also available today. And if you have any questions, staff and anymore available to answer questions. And that was my presentation. Thank you. Thank you very much. And I will say that I have visited that site many times. And this is going to be a huge improvement. I'm going to go ahead and open up the public meeting. See if there are any members of the public that would like to comment. If you remember. Can you hear me? Yes. Yes. Hi, this is Mike Napolitano. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't realize you wanted to speak. No, I really don't. I'm just here. If you have any questions, I can answer them. Oh yeah. Monet. Monet mentioned that. Thank you, Michael. So are there any members of the public raising their hands? I do not see any members of the public raising their hands. Just as a reminder, if you wish to make a comment, you can do so by selecting the raise your hand icon at the bottom of your zoom screen. If you're calling in, please press start nine. Sony administrator Murray. I don't see any hands raised. Thank you very much. And my apologies to the applicant. I didn't mean to cut you off. I just made the assumption that you weren't making a presentation. I should have asked. And do you have any other comments you'd like to add, Michael? It doesn't sound like it. Okay. So I'm just unmuted. That's okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to keep interrupting. My computer is not working either. So. No, I don't have anything on that. I'm here. I'm here if you need me. Thank you. Thank you very much. So I want to say. Sorry, zoning administrator Murray before we move on, can you close the public comment period? I'm going to close the public comment period now. Now I'm going to weigh in. First, I do have a question. I have a question about the fencing around the perimeter. Actually. The front gate. Is that going to be a solid fence from Timothy road? Is that going to be a solid fence like it is today? Or is that going to be transparent? So in off business hours. When police drive by, they can actually see into that. Yard. That's a good question. Hadn't thought about that, but we'll be willing to keep that open because that is. A good point. It's. It's really better for the project to keep it open. Yeah, you know, I under, I understand closing the gate at night, but I think it should be a transparent fence or gate. Not that solid one that's there that was shown in the photographs. I agree. Perfect. Glad to hear that. So I'm going to say this is as money pointed out in her presentation. This is an interesting area where we have, we see light industrial and residential uses nearby. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I want to make sure that the applicant has seen the. Proposed conditions of approval, specifically the hours of construction. Yes, I have sent the draft resolution and also today I sent it again. Michael has seen that the hours are the restricted one, the one from eight to six. And I believe is nine to five on Saturdays and nothing. I appreciate that very much. I've been, I've lived next door to construction and I know what it's like to get that rude awakening on a Saturday morning. Anyways, so I started to say, I think this is such a fabulous project. It's going to be, it's going to improve the appearance of that and that neighborhood so much. So I have read the resolution. I, I agree with all of the findings. And I want to thank both the applicant for being here and accepting my one addition to the conditions of approval. If Monet, if you could add on to that, that the front gate will be transparent. Okay. I will add that. And if you could also add that, that the design must be approved by planning. Were you. Okay. That would be great. And I, I don't have any other comments. I think this is a very good project. I understand that the planning commission has approved the use. And regardless what uses in there, this is going to beautify that area very much. So I will be approving this project. Congratulations. I know it's been a long time in the works. Thank you, Miss Murray. Have a great day. Thank you. You can hear me. Thank you. You bet. Take care, Michael. So the next item, 5.2. Wait, let me back up. I'm going to reiterate our appeal period that, that design review approval will be. You can appeal it within 10 calendar days. If you wish to do so. The final date of that appeal would be, that appeal period would be Monday, February 27th, because the 10th day falls on a weekend. And that would extend to the following business day. Now I'll move on to item 5.2, which is another public meeting. It's the Neely addition. This project is also exempt from the California environmental quality act. It's a landmark addition, a landmark addition, a landmark alteration for the property located at 641 Oak street. And I will hand it off to Christian Candleria for his presentation. Hello. Good morning, zoning administrator Murray. I will share my screen now. Can you see that? Okay. This is the Neely addition at 641 Oak street. This is a minor landmark alteration permit. This is file number LMA 22-008 for 641 Oak street. The minor landmark alteration permit is to add an additional bedroom and half bath to the house and expand the dining room by five feet for this. There's also going to be a total of 251 square feet. And the addition will also be matching the existing craftsman style and architectural style. I'm going to move on to the general plan and zoning. The zoning is PD-025-H. It's in the historic bourbon gardens preservation district. And the general plan designation is low density residential. Here on the project, you can see the style of the home on the top left. And the other three photos, you can see where the addition is going to be added. They are extending the deck. You can kind of see in one of the photos. Going to go further into the plans. It's a little difficult, but on the left is the existing and on the right will be the new addition. You can see the extension of the kitchen. And the deck is being altered a bit to make room for this new addition in the back. And then you can see two new proposed windows on the office. These are the elevations for the addition. Now I'm going to go into the historic style and materials. They will be matching the stucco exterior and we'll be doing wood casement doors and wood frames to match the existing style. They're also be doing two new windows in the office. And that will be a clad wood awning style with aluminum extruded aluminum exterior. And then there's going to be a new door on the addition that will be wooden swing French doors. And the roof will be the same style as you see in the photos. The project has been reviewed for compliance with the Environmental Quality Act and qualifies for a class one exemption under sequel guidelines section 15 301 and subsection E and that the new proposed addition is a minor alteration of an existing private structure. And it is recommended by the planning and economic development department that the zoning administrator by resolution approve a minor landmark alteration permit LMA 22 dash there's a rate for the property located at 641 Oak Street. Let me know if you have any questions. My information is here and the applicant is available if needed. Thank you. And this time I'll ask you see with the applicant like to say anything or have a brief presentation. No, I think Christian covered well. This is Mark Neely Christian covered a well and. And all the requirements. We are more than happy to meet. Okay. And you've seen the conditions of approval. Yes, we have. Not a problem. Okay.

You can raise your hand by selecting the zoom icon at the bottom of your zoom screen. If you're calling in, please press start nine. Zoning administrator Murray.

Apologies. Zoning administrator Murray. Can you officially close the public comment? Period. Sure. I think I'm just going to give you the authority to do that. I'm going to close the public comment period and open my own comment period back up. Yes, I did a site visit. That is an absolutely beautiful neighborhood. I think that the additions that you're, you're the addition that you're proposing on the backside of the house. I can see it's, it's not even. But what it's, it's really not that visible. It's not visible from the public right away on the backside. It's not visible from the public right away. It's not visible from the public right away. It's not visible from the public right away on the side. It's not visible from the public right away on the side or. Remotely visible. I think that the. The project.
