So I would like to mention that Wednesday we had the mayor's. Virtual board chair lunch and at that time. Mayor talked about the goal setting and I'll just run through real quickly the. Goals that were established. They're kind of overarching goals. So the first one is housing for all. The mayor did talk about the desire to annex Roseland and South San Rosa Avenue areas. And to reduce the impact of homelessness on the community. And on people who are unhoused. Second ensure a safe community for all and that has a variety of components. First. A lot of those will be flushed out. And I'll report back on those. Our staff at some point can give us a report. So that is that was my report. So with that. Ms. Jones. Do you want to we can move on to item 5. For department report. Yes. Thank you chair weeks. Good afternoon commissioners. I'm happy to see you all here. So yes. Jessica Jones and stuff liaison and supervising planner. Just a very brief update. Unfortunately it is a sad update for me to tell you guys that we are losing two of our planners one this week and one next week. Adam Ross city planner who has been with the city for quite some time is leaving the city and his last day is tomorrow. And Andrew triple. Who also has been with the city for quite some time is leaving us and his last day will be next Friday. So it's it's extremely sad for our team. Andrew and Adam are huge fixtures on our team and have been for quite some time. They leave very large shoes to fill. So we're just we're very sad to see them go. Although we are super excited about their new opportunities that they're moving on to. So but I am happy to continue to report. I know I mentioned it to you guys already recently, but we are in a recruitment process for new city planners. And so we are looking to get. Several new city planners out of this recruitment process. The recruitment is currently still open. We'll close on Monday. And then we will be going through an application review process. Once that closes. So. We're extremely hopeful. About the recruitment process and about bringing on some new city planners to join our team. And. One point at some point we'll be reporting to you all. So. You know, that is my report for tonight. And I'm available if anybody has any questions. Are there any questions for Ms. Jones. Okay. Thank you. So with that, we'll go to item six statement of abstentions. Are there any statements of abstentions? Are there any abstentions from the commission? Okay. Seeing none. We'll go to item seven consent items of which there are none. So then we move quickly on to item eight, our scheduled item. And at a point one is a public hearing. JQ gold LLC cannabis facility. It's a major conditional use permit. It's at three, five, one, five and zero. And then we'll move on to item eight. And then we'll move on to item nine. And then we'll move on to item eight. It's at three, five, one, five and zero. Industrial drive file number. CUP 21-068. It is an exparte disclosure item. So we'll start with commissioner Carter. I have nothing to disclose on this item. Thank you. Commissioner Cisco. I have nothing to disclose on this item. I have nothing to disclose. I have nothing to disclose. I have nothing to disclose. I have nothing to disclose. I visited the site to clear my head, which site it was in that area, but I have nothing further to disclose. Thank you. Commissioner Holton. I also visited the site and I have nothing further to disclose. And vice chair Peterson. Nothing to disclose. Thank you. And I also revisited the site. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm off my game tonight. I visited the site. I have nothing else to disclose. Thank you. And I also visited the site and have nothing further to disclose. So with that, we will move on to Mr. McKay, who will be doing our presentation tonight. Thank you chair weeks and members of the commission. Yeah, so this is the JQ gold LLC conditional use permit. And I'm happy to be here this evening to present the project. It's located at three, five, one, five industrial drive. And zero industrial drive. So this is a major commission permit and the applicant is proposing to change the operator name and modify the approved T and L micro cannabis facility by increasing the cannabis cultivation land use by 2,237 square feet for a total of 12,439 square feet and cannabis distribution land use by 1,239 square feet for a total of 7,255 square feet in an existing building located at 3,515 and zero industrial drive. I'd also like to note that the previously approved T and L micro cannabis facility included cannabis manufacturing and the project description and the proposed project would remove that land use from the proposed project. The project is located in the northwest quadrant of the city of Santa Rosa near the intersection of airway drive and industrial drive. As far as general plan and zoning, the general plan is light industry and the zoning district is light industrial resilient city combining district. The operation of a cultivation of cannabis operation of 5,001 square feet or greater requires a major conditional use permit. So that is the reason the planning commission is reviewing this proposal. A bit of project history in November of 2020, the planning commission adopted the mitigated negative declaration and mitigation monitoring and reporting program or MMRP and approved a conditional use permit for the T and L micro cannabis facility and recommended that the city council approve a general plan amendment and rezoning. In December of 2020, the city council did approve the amendment to the general plan land use designation which resulted in a three designation from retail and business services to light industry and approved the request for rezoning to rezone the subject parcels from general commercial to the light industrial zoning district. And in August of 2021, the JQ gold LLC cannabis facility project application was submitted and this meeting was noticed in February of 2022. It looks like it's a bit cut off for some reason. I apologize for that. But this is the slide shows the first floor of the proposed site plan for the JQ gold LLC cannabis project. And this slide shows the second floor site plan. And I just want to reiterate that the previously approved project included the cannabis manufacturing use and this proposal does not include that use. So staff has reviewed the proposal and it is in compliance with all general cannabis operating requirements and applicable zoning code regulations. The certified odor mitigation control plan and the security plan are both included with the item packet that was provided. The project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act or CEQA. The JQ gold LLC cannabis facility project does not introduce significant changes that would necessitate subsequent environmental review pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15162 and is required to incorporate all mitigation measures contained in an MMRP prepared for the approved TNL micro cannabis facility project. Staff has not received any communication or comments of any kind from the community regarding this project. And with that the staff feels that we can make the required findings to recommend approval for the project and planning an economic development department recommends that the planning commission by resolution approve this conditional use permit request to change the operator name and modify the approved TNL micro cannabis facility located at 3515 and zero industrial drive. And I know the applicant Aaron Carlstrom is available and wants to make a couple of comments about the project but there is no formal presentation or slides. And staff is available for any questions as well. Thank you, Mr. McKay. Any questions of Mr. McKay before we hear from Ms. Carlstrom? Okay. So then we could go ahead and hear from Ms. Carlstrom. Can you hear me yet? Yes, we can hear you. Okay. Good afternoon chair weeks and members of the commission. This is Aaron Carlstrom once again on behalf of the applicants JQ Gold. Planner McKay did an admirable job presenting the specifics of the project. And the commission and myself have a long history with this building. So I don't anticipate that there are issues that have been unaddressed. But the applicant and myself are both available on the call this evening. If any additional questions should arise by the members of the commission and otherwise I will say thank you very much for your service. And that's all I've got. Thank you, Ms. Carlstrom. Any questions of the applicant before open the public hearing? Okay. So with that, I will go ahead and open the public hearing on this item. If you wish to make a comment via zoom, please select the raised hand button. If you're dialing in via telephone, please dial star nine to raise your hand and your speaker will have three minutes. A countdown timer will appear. Please make sure to unmute yourself when you are invited to do so and your microphone will be available. Thank you. I will go ahead and open the public hearing item. Thank you. It looks like we have two members of the public and neither are raising their hand. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Maloney. So with that, I will go ahead and close the public hearing on this item and bring it back to the commission. Is there any discussion on this item? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioner Siscoe. I will go ahead and move a resolution of the planning commission of the city of Santa Rosa making findings and determinations and approving a conditional use permit to change the operator name and make modifications to an approved cannabis cultivation use for the JQ gold LLC cannabis facility. And the cannabis distribution land use to 7,255 square feet within an existing building located at 3, 5, 1, 5 and 0 industrial drive. Assessors parcel numbers 148-050-027 and 148-041-049 file number CUP 21-068 and way further reading of the text. Thank you. Is there a second? Commissioner Duggan. Seconds? Go ahead and go through any comments that people may have on this. So we'll start with Commissioner Carter. Not much has changed since we saw this before. The 3,400 square feet of increased growing and distribution activity and the reduction of the manufacturing. I still see no issues with this application and I'll be able to make all of the necessary findings for the use permit. Thank you. Commissioner Cisco. I can also make all of the required findings and have no issues with this application. Thanks. Commissioner Duggan. I can also make all the required findings and have no concerns or issues with the application and support of it. Thanks. Commissioner Holton. I can also make all the required findings and I am in full support of this project and the conditional use permit and the change of name. Thanks. I won't forget you this time. I can make all the required findings and have no other issues with the application. Thanks. And Vice Chair Peterson. I also have no issues and can make all the required findings. And I also have no issues and can make all the required findings and am supportive of this project. So with that, resolution was read by Commissioner Cisco, seconded by Commissioner Duggan. Will Mr. Maloney call the roll or call for the vote, please? Thank you, Chair Wicks. Commissioner Carter. Hi. Hi. Commissioner Cisco. Hi. Commissioner Duggan. Hi. Commissioner Holton. Hi. Commissioner Ocracki. Vice Chair Peterson. Hi. And Chair Wicks. Hi. So that passes with seven eyes and that is our last item for tonight Thank you. Okay. So with that, I'm going to adjourn the meeting of what to state today, March 10th. And we'll see you all at the next schedule planning commission meeting. Thank you. Bye.
