 Okay. Let us formally open the meeting by saying hello and welcome to the capital of planning commission meeting of January 19th, 2023. This meeting is being held on zoom due to technical difficulties, but it is being cable cast live on spectrum cable TV channel eight, and is being recorded to be read broadcast on the following Monday and Friday at 1pm. The meetings can also be streamlined live or screened live on YouTube. Or on the city's website. Our technician tonight is Brian. So with that, let us have a roll call, please. We have a So, there we go. Here. Commissioner Christensen chair will. Here. Commissioner Etsy. Here. Commissioner Jensen. Here. Okay, since we're on zoom and with typically we suspended the pledge of allegiance because no one's got a flag nearby. So we'll move on then to new business, which is the swearing. Oh, Katie, did we want to talk about Before we get to swearing and did we want to talk about changing the meeting time to 6pm or some other time. We'll do that before after, you know, we can do that during commissioner comments. Okay, then we will move ahead with the swearing in of the new planning commissioners. So, Katie, who do you, what would you like to go first? Hi there, I'm chiming in. This is Julia Moss, the city clerk and I'm starting my video feed. I'm on the other side of the room from Katie. So if I could have our two new commissioners, I'm going to read out the oath of office. I will take breaks and if the two new commissioners could please repeat after me and follow along. Okay. So to begin, we're going to start by saying I and then your name if you could please raise your right hand as you are following along with me.

Thank you. Congratulations. You're welcome. Very good. Okay. Let's move on then. Yes. Congratulations. Welcome to the planning commission. I hope you have a good time. As good as I have, anyway. Let's move on then to the nomination. Start with the election of a new chair. I would like to nominate Susan Westman as the new chair of this body. Can we hear a second? I'll second. I'll hear a second from Paul Esti. Sorry. As we have a motion and a second. Are there any discussions or other nominations hearing none, let's call for a roll call vote. Commissioner Wilk. Aye. Commissioner Westman. Aye. Commissioner Esti. Aye. And Commissioner Jensen. Aye. You've got the gavel, Susan. All right. Thank you very much, Peter. So now we need to nominate a vice chair to serve for the next year on the planning commission. Are there anyone who would like to make a nomination? Well, ordinarily, I would like to nominate Courtney, but she's not here. So I don't even know if she wants the nomination. Well, I actually talked to her earlier. And I would like to nominate her, but being chair, it's really not my place to do that. Then I will nominate Courtney Christensen as vice chair of this committee. So we need a second. I'll second. Okay. We have a second from Commissioner Jensen. Is there any discussion on this item? If not, we'll have a roll call vote. Commissioner Wilk. Aye. Chair Westman. Aye. Commissioner Esti. Aye. And Commissioner Jensen. Aye. Thank you. Okay. So the next item on our agenda is oral communications. And we don't have an audience. Is there anyone on Zoom who would like to make a comment on an item not related to tonight's agenda? So we do have public here. If there's any member of the public that would like to comment on anything not on tonight's agenda, this would be the time. Okay. Looks like there's not anyone for oral communications tonight. So we will move on to additions and deletions to the agenda. Does staff have any or any? So thank you, Chair Westman. This evening, we are going to suggest some changes to the agenda. In hearing the Planning Commissioning's availability, we are suggesting that consent calendar item for 517 Oak Drive for a variance for the required parking dimensions to construct a first story addition without meeting the current parking standards. And also on the public hearing agenda, item 5A for 4401 and 4525 Capitola Road be continued to next Wednesday. Sorry, the data's escaping me. I believe it's the 25th of January. And we would post, put up new postings for both of those properties. And update our website as well as get a re-noticing in the newspaper. And then the last item, 5B, we're suggesting that be heard at the first meeting in February. So that's the modifications to the agenda tonight. At City Hall, we're experiencing no internet connection. So we wanna make sure the public has the ability and the applicant has the ability to participate in the public hearing. And we feel that holding a public hearing tonight would not benefit either party. So those are our suggestions. I'm making the assumption that we can make a motion to continue the two items as well as have the housing element at our next meeting all as one motion. And so would someone like to make that motion? Yes, I'll make them. I move that we have a continuance for items 4A and 5A until January 25th and a continuance for item 5B until the normal February 2nd meeting. Okay, we need a second for that motion. I'll second that. As a clarification on behalf of staff, the motion should include the time because it is a time-certain continuance. So to be clear, items 4A and 5A would be continued to January 25th at 7 p.m. And then item 5B would be continued to your next regularly scheduled meeting date. So amended. Thank you. I guess we need a second on the amendment. All right. In the amendment. So can we have a roll call vote? And who seconded the motion just as a point of clarification? Commissioner Estie. Thank you. So to begin, Commissioner Wilk. Aye. Chair Westman. Aye. Commissioner Estie. Aye. And Commissioner Jensen. Aye. Motion passes. Thank you. So I'm assuming there's not a director's report, but we did have an item under commission communications we wanted to discuss. Commissioner Wilk brought up earlier. Yes, if I can come in with the commission comments as a request to the members of the commission to change the starting time of the normally scheduled meetings from 7 p.m. to 6 p.m. This is consistent with what the city council did. And it would be actually just more convenient for me personally to have it an hour earlier. And so that's my recommendation. Okay. Does anyone else have any other feelings or comments about changing the meeting time? No, no, no, no, that six o'clock is fine with me. Commissioner Jensen, are you okay with a six o'clock start time? Yes, totally true. And can we ask the staff how they feel about that since I believe they've had some discussion regarding changing the time? Yes, we appreciate you asking and we're all supportive if it works for the planning commission, a 6 p.m. start time can work for staff. Six p.m. works fine for me. So do we need to make a motion to make that official? No, no motion is necessary. We'll update the calendars. I do want to point out the February 2nd meeting. We did have to do the noticing for last week. So that meeting will be at 7 p.m. But all meetings after the February 2nd meeting will be at 6 p.m. Thank you. So there is some a little confusion on that because the previous motion we said that item 5B would be at the regularly scheduled time, which is now six o'clock. Let me clarify, yeah. So January 25th and February 2nd meetings will both be at 7 p.m. After that meetings will start at 6 p.m. Okay, that's clear enough for me. No, that's good. Are there any other council communications? Seeing none, then I think we get to adjourn our first meeting and nice to have two new planning commissioners with us. Yes, welcome gentlemen. Yeah. So the meeting is adjourned.
