Ms. James? Here. Dr. Mendo? Here. Mr. Tupper? Here. And Mr. Frost? Here. You have a quorum. I'll give a brief review of the meeting format and the meeting overview. Applicants with requests before the planning commission are allowed at a presentation time of 10 minutes. This time should include but is not limited to an overview of the project, case history, and any pertinent meetings held regarding the request. This time also includes all persons presenting information on behalf of the applicants, such as attorneys, engineers, and architects. This time limit does not include any questions asked by the planning commission or staff regarding requests. Members of the general public are given the opportunity to address their concerns in intervals of two minutes. The administrator has a timer and will make presenters aware of when their time has expired. The planning commission reserves the right to amend these procedures on a case-by-case basis. The commission uses the consent agenda to approve non-controversial or routine matters by single motion and vote. Examples of such items include approval of site plans, annexations, and street names. If a member of the planning commission or the general public wants to discuss an item on the consent agenda, that item is removed from the consent agenda and considered during the regular meeting. The planning commission then approves the remaining consent agenda items. So for the consent agenda this evening, the first item is the approval of the December 7, 2020 minutes. Item number two is the site plan under site plan review is a request for site plan approval for the construction of a commercial subdivision at the 4600 block Fort Jackson Boulevard. The property is zoned C3. Item number three on the consent agenda under future land use map amendment. This is at 446 Clemson Road extension and 446 Clemson Road. It is a request to amend the Columbia Compass and vision 2036 future land use map to modify the land use classification of the property from urban edge multi-family to urban edge regional activity center east of Clemson Road and to urban edge mixed residential west of Clemson Road. Item number four is a zoning map amendment. This is to correspond with the future land use amendment. This is at 446 Clemson Road extension request to rezone the parcel from office and industrial, excuse me, office and institutional district, general residential and general commercial to general commercial district. That's the extent of the consent agenda this evening. So, is there anyone from the planning commission that would like any item removed from the consent agenda? Hearing none. Is there anyone from the public that would like to have an item removed from the consent agenda? We would ask when participating, please provide your name, your full name for the minutes. Please communicate by sending an email to cocboardmeeting at columbiasc.gov. You can communicate via phone by pressing star two to leave a voicemail or three to speak in person. We will pause to allow communication from the public. Again, that phone number is 855-925-2803. And the meeting code is 9447. Hello, Mr. Chair. We currently do not have any callers that have indicated that wish to speak. Okay. No calls. I've not seen any emails come through. Okay, thank you. No callers on the line and no emails. Any questions by the planning commission? If not, I'll accept the motion. Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion to approve the consent agenda. This is April James. You got a motion. Can I get a second? I'll second. This is Dr. Mandel. You got a motion and a second. All in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed, say no. The ayes have it. The motion is approved. Planning commission will now move forward with those items on the regular agenda. We will use the following outline for regular agenda items. The administrator will introduce the case. The applicant will have 10 minutes to make a presentation. Planning commission may then ask questions. The public will be allowed to participate via email, voicemail, voice in person, or via the web. The planning commission may ask additional questions of the applicant and then we'll take action by the planning commission. So the case this evening on the regular agenda, this is a comprehensive map amendment and a map amendment for appending annexation at 1307 Mason Road. This is a request for a recommendation to assign a land use classification of urban edge multi-family and assigned zoning of general residential for appending annexation. So this is the property in question. This is about 36.5 acres currently vacant. This is the land use map of the surrounding properties within the city and as well as the zoning map. And Rachel Bailey, our zoning administrator and Andrew Livinggood, our annexation coordinator, both here also, they're very familiar with this property. So if you guys, and I think the applicant is also here. See in the case, are there any questions from the planning commission to staff before we maybe ask the applicant if they, if we want the applicant to speak? All sorry, this is Rachel. I just wanted to say real quick, I noticed there's still a couple of applicants on the line from the consent agenda. I just wanted to make sure they're aware that they're not required to stay on the Zoom call throughout the remainder of the meeting. I think there's probably two or three still on here from the consent agenda. So just wanted to make sure that was clear. Thank you, Rachel. Any questions from planning commission on this case? No questions. Anyone, would anyone on the planning commission like to hear from the applicant? Here and none, Lucinda, I think we can go to public comment if need be. Sure. So we'll open it to public comment. We encourage those who would like to comment via email or the web to begin sending in letters and emails. That email address is COC board meeting at Columbia SC.gov or on the web at HTTPS colon slash slash public input.com slash COC PC dash December. Is that supposed to be January or does it matter?
