ITEM

[2. Approval of Minutes from the Meeting of September 21, 2026]

THERE IS NO DISCUSSION.

I WILL ENTERTAIN.

OH, OKAY.

WE HAVE DISCUSSION.

I CALL ON COMMISSIONER ARMA.

UH, THERE'S A STATEMENT IN THERE.

IT SAYS, COMMISSIONER ARMA STATES, UH, DUE TO LACK OF QUORUM, SHE HAD TO ADJOURN THE MEETING.

AND THEN THE VERY NEXT LINE IS ALL THE COMMISSIONER'S PRESENT.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

YEAH, THAT'S A VISTAGE OF THE PREVIOUS ONE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT.

SO WE SHOULD REMOVE THAT.

UH, GOOD CATCH.

AND THEN I DID SEE, I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED, AND MAYBE IT MIGHT BE THE WAY I'M READING IT ON A PAGE FIVE ON THE MOTION FOR, UH, WHAT IS IT CALLED? PARTY TIME MARKET.

IT JUST SAYS, UH, THE VERY LAST SENTENCE, UH, I GUESS I'M ASSUMING APPROVE WHAT AMENDMENT, BUT IT DIDN'T SAY WHAT THE AMENDMENT WAS RIGHT BEFORE THE MOTION CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE.

AND MOTION APPROVED JUST AS WITH AMENDMENT AND ITEM NUMBER EIGHT.

SO YOU'RE, YOU'RE, UH, SUGGESTING THAT THE AMENDMENT BE ADDED, BE ADDED TO THE MINUTES, UHHUH TO THE MINUTES.

AND NOW, UH, ONE MORE.

WHAT? HUH? OKAY.

UH, WE'RE TRYING TO FIND WHERE YOU'RE READING FROM.

OH, SO ON PAGE FIVE, ITEM EIGHT FOR, UM, THE MINUTES FOR THAT FOR LAST MEETING.

OKAY.

SO THE FIRST ONE WAS ON THE VERY FIRST PAGE, RIGHT? YOU GUYS CAUGHT THAT ONE.

[00:05:01]

AND THEN IT SAYS, WITH AMENDMENT, SO THROUGH, THROUGH THE CHAIR, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, THE AMENDMENT WAS RELATED TO THE STARTING TIME.

I THINK STAFF RECOMMENDATION WAS EITHER EIGHT OR EIGHT 30.

I THINK COMMISSION VOTED TO, UM, MAKE IT, UH, THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST.

I THINK IT WAS SIX OR SOMETIME QUITE A BIT EARLIER.

MM-HMM .

UM, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BEEN REGULAR PRACTICE FROM THE, UH, EXECUTIVE SECRETARY TO STATE WHAT THE AMENDMENTS WERE.

UM, I DON'T BELIEVE IT HAS.

UM, SO THAT'D BE A QUESTION OF IF WE WANT TO INTRODUCE THAT PRACTICE.

I, I THINK BECAUSE THIS WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THOSE FIRST ONES THAT WAS REALLY, REALLY, YOU KNOW, HAD TIME ON MY HAND TO READ IT THOROUGHLY.

AND I WAS LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT'S THE AMENDMENT? SO I, I WOULD LEAVE IT UP TO THE OTHER PLANNING COMMISSIONERS.

UH, CAN WE START THAT ADDING THE AMENDMENTS, IF THAT IS THE DESIRE OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION, JUST AN INFORMAL POLL.

IT SEEMS THAT WE WOULD WANT THAT.

SO IF MADAM SECRETARY, IF THERE'S AN AMENDMENT TO A, UM, UM, UH, RESOLUTION OF APPROVAL, UH, AND A CONDITION OF APPROVAL, AND WITHIN THAT RESOLUTION, WE WOULD WANT TO SEE THAT IN THE MINUTES.

IS THAT, THAT'S YOUR YES.

THAT'S YOUR, THAT'S MY REQUEST.

UHHUH.

.

AND THEN ONE MORE THING, I WAS CONFUSED SINCE I WAS READING REALLY WELL.

NUMBER NINE.

UH, IT SAYS, UH, THE ADDRESS, UH, FOUR UNIT HOUSING DEVELOPMENT TO CONDOMINIUM LOCATED 3 27, 2 3 3 3.

AND THEN YOU FLIP THE PAGE.

AND RIGHT BEFORE, UM, MOTION CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE, IT CHANGES TO 3, 2, 1 AT 2 3, 3, 3.

SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS THE CORRECT ADDRESS BEING USED.

OH, YEAH, I SEE THAT.

SO THAT WOULD, YEAH, MAYBE STAFF CAN LOOK THAT AND GET THAT CORRECTION TO ADAM'S SECRETARY.

THAT APPEARS TO BE A TYPO.

I BELIEVE IT WAS 3 27, BUT WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT'S CORRECT.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

THAT'S MY, THE END OF MY DISCUSSION.

OKAY.

ANY OTHER CORRECTIONS? SO, UH, THEN WE WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADOPT THE MINUTES AS AMENDED, AS CORRECTED.

AND, UM, MOVE ON.

SO, MADAM SECRETARY, JUST TO CLARIFY, SINCE WE'RE ADDING AMENDMENTS, I'M ADDING EACH INDIVIDUAL AMENDMENT FOR TONIGHT ON THE MINUTES.

IS THAT YOUR INTENT? WELL, YOU, I JUST WANNA CLARIFY, YOU'RE ASKING FOR US TO ADD IN EVERY AMENDMENT THAT'S ADDED? UM, SO WITH THE MINUTES I HAVE TO, I'M ADDING IN EVERY CORRECTION, UH, THE ONES, OH, SORRY.

THE PROJECT BASED ONES WOULD BE MY ASK.

OKAY.

SO MINUTES DON'T COUNT.

JUST THE PUBLIC HEARING.

PROJECT BASED ONES.

MM-HMM .

YES.

YEAH, WE, WE'LL MAKE THOSE CHANGES.

AND THEN THAT AMENDED VERSION WILL GO TO YOU CHAIR TO SIGN.

OKAY.

AND THEN WE WILL, THAT'LL BE THE RECORDED VERSION OR POSTED ON THE WEBSITE RATHER.

OKAY.

SO WE STILL NEED A, UH, MOTION AND A SECOND PLEASE.

UM, TO ADOPT THE RELU OR THE, THE, UH, MINUTES AS, AS AMENDED AS CORRECTED.

WE, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER ARMA AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER GOGI TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS CORRECTED.

THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

BEFORE WE BEGIN, DO ANY COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY DISCLOSURES RELATING TO THIS HEARING? THIS IS EACH PLANNING COMMISSIONER'S OPPORTUNITY TO DISCLOSE

[00:10:01]

COMMISSIONER QUINONES? I COULDN'T FIND IT.

, DID YOU FIND IT? OH, I, I JUST DROVE BY BACK AND FORTH ON A HIGHLAND AND I WENT AROUND, I WENT BEHIND KENTUCKY FIRE.

I WAS LOOKING FOR IT AND LOOKING FOR IT.

I COULDN'T FIND IT.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

UH, COMMISSIONER ARMA, I DID WANNA DISCLOSE I DID DRIVE BY THE PROPERTY.

AND IF IT'S THE CORRECT ONE, IT'S STILL BEING BUILT.

IS THAT THE CORRECT, THAT WHAT'S GOING ON? IT'S NOT COMPLETELY, IT'S NOT.

IT'S THE ONE UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

THERE, THERE ARE SOME, UM, PERMITS THAT HAVE EITHER BEEN ISSUED OR UNDER REVIEW FOR RENOVATIONS TO, UM, THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE SUITES IN THE BUILDING.

UM, ONE IS A SMALLER SUITE RIGHT ON HIGHLAND, THAT'S, I BELIEVE, TO BE AN ICE CREAM SHOP.

AND THEN TONIGHT'S ITEM IS GOING TO BE THE LARGER SUITE, UM, WHICH FACES THE PARKING AREA.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

OH, OKAY.

THANK YOU.

OKAY, COMMISSIONER.

SO, UH, COMMISSIONER GOGI, I ALSO DROVE BY THE PROPERTY AND I'M FAMILIAR THERE.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

SAME, YES.

UH, FULLER QUINONE? YES.

I DROVE BY THE PROPERTY AND I'M FAMILIAR.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

UH, I AS WELL DROVE BY THE PROPERTY AND WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT THE EXACT LOCATION.

I SAW THE BUILDING UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

SO, UH, FOR A MOMENT I THOUGHT IT WAS THE KFCI KNOW, SHUTTING DOWN, AND I THOUGHT, NO, THAT'S THE WRONG ADDRESS.

SO, OKAY.

ANYWAYS, MADAM SECRETARY, DO WE HAVE THE NOTICES AS REQUIRED BY LAW, UH, BEEN GIVEN, AND DO WE HAVE THE COMPLETE FILE OF EXHIBITS, CORRESPONDENCE, AND OTHER DOCUMENTS? YES, CHAIR.

THANK YOU.

WELL, STAFF, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND SUMMARIZE THE ITEM FOR US.

GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

MY NAME IS DAVID WELCH, THE STATE OF NATIONAL CITY PLANNING DIVISION.

UM, ITEM THREE IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR A, UH, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR ONSITE SALE OF BEER AND WINE.

THIS IS AN A BC TYPE 41 LICENSE.

UH, THIS IS FOR A NEW RESTAURANT CALLED HONDU KOREAN BARBECUE AT EIGHT 20 HIGHLAND AVENUE.

HERE'S THE OVERHEAD OF THE SITE.

UM, IF I NEED TO ZOOM IN TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT.

SO KFC IS RIGHT HERE WITH THE DRIVE THROUGH.

UM, THIS IS HIGHLAND AVENUE.

THIS IS EIGHTH, WHICH HEADS TOWARDS OUR DOWNTOWN.

AND THEN, UM, THE LOCATION HERE IS A, WAS A FORMER TIRE SHOP AT ONE TIME.

UM, THERE'S A COMMERCIAL TI AT THE FRONT SUITE, WHICH IS A SMALL AREA HERE, AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE BACK AREA OF THIS BUILDING RIGHT HERE, WHICH, LIKE I SAID, FACES THE, THE SMALL PARKING AREA.

UM, I WILL NOTE THAT IN THE AGENDA STAFF REPORT, UH, WE HAD THE WRONG OVERHEAD, SO HOPEFULLY THEY DIDN'T CAUSE CONFUSION.

BUT THIS IS THE CORRECT PROPERTY HERE ON THE, ON THE WEB, ON THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE SITE.

HONDU KOREAN BARBECUE.

THIS WILL BE A NEW RESTAURANT IN A 4,745 SQUARE FOOT COMMERCIAL SPACE.

UM, OF THAT, UH, OVER 2000 SQUARE FEET WILL BE DINING AREA WITH 161 SEATS.

THIS IS IN OUR MAJOR MIXED USE QUARTER ZONE MX C TWO.

UH, IT'S A AREA THAT'S SURROUNDED BY A MIX OF COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL USES.

UM, THE RESIDENTIAL USES, UM, AS WELL, CENTRAL AVENUE.

SO CENTRAL ELEMENTARY ARE SEPARATED BY A PARKING LOT.

UM, SO YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A, SORRY, HOLD ON.

IN THE BACK AREA, THERE'S A SEPARATE PROPERTY THAT SEPARATES FROM THE NEAREST RESIDENCES AND THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROPERTY.

UM, HERE'S THE VIEW OF THE SITE.

HOPEFULLY THIS IS WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING AT.

UM, AGAIN, FORMER TIRE SHOP, I BELIEVE THERE'S A FITNESS TYPE FACILITY IN BETWEEN, UM, LOOKING FROM ON THE PROPERTY.

UM, AND THE PROPERTY LINE IS THAT ROYAL PARKING SPACE IS IN THE FRONT THERE, YOU CAN SEE.

UM, SO THE BUSINESS IS PROPOSING TO SELL BEER AND WINE ON SITE IN CONJUNCTION WITH FOOD SALES AT THE RESTAURANT.

UH, APPLICANT ORIGINALLY REQUESTED TO HAVE SALES 12 TO 12:00 PM TO 12:00 AM DAILY, UH, STAFF RECOMMENDED, UM, SLIGHTLY SHORTER HOURS.

SO THEY ARE NOW PROPOSING 12:00 PM TO 11:00 PM UM, SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, AND THEN 12 TO MIDNIGHT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

THE RESTAURANT HOURS ARE GOING TO BE THE SAME AS ALCOHOL SALES.

UH, NOV LIVE ENTERTAINMENT IS PROPOSED.

HERE'S AN OUTLINE OF THE PROPERTY.

UH, THE SITE PLAN, UM, AGAIN, SEPARATE SUITE OVER HERE WITHIN THE MIDDLE OF THE STRUCTURE.

THAT'S WHERE THE DINING AREA IS IN THE BACK OF HOUSE.

IT'S MORE ON THE, THE BACK END.

UM, AND

[00:15:01]

SO THE NATIONAL CITY MUNICIPAL CODE, UH, DOES ALLOW FOR ALCOHOL SALES FOR, I'M SORRY, THAT SHOULD BE ONSITE CONSUMPTION.

WITH APPROVED CP AT THIS LOCATION, WE DO HAVE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALCOHOL, CS.

THIS INCLUDES AN EXTENDED MAILING FOR OWNERS AND OCCUPANTS WITHIN 660 FEET.

UH, 216 PROPERTY OWNERS AND OCCUPANTS WERE NOTIFIED.

UH, THE APPLICANT IS ALSO REQUIRED TO HOLD A COMMUNITY MEETING.

THIS WAS HELD ON MAY 7TH.

UH, THERE WERE THREE ATTENDEES.

UM, NO CONCERNS WERE COMMUNICATED TO STAFF FROM THAT MEETING.

UM, WITHIN THE CENSUS TRACT, UH, THERE ARE 18 ON SALE LICENSES WHERE ONLY 10 ARE RECOMMENDED.

UH, IT IS CONSIDERED OVER CONCENTRATED.

HOWEVER, OF THOSE 18 TWO LICENSES ARE FOR CATERING BUSINESSES.

UH, AND THE AREA ALSO INCLUDES SOME OF OUR BUSIER AREAS DOWNTOWN ON EAST EIGHTH AND EAST PLAZA BOULEVARD, WHERE THERE'S, UH, QUITE A FEW RESTAURANTS IN THE CITY.

UM, THERE ARE DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR ALCOHOL SALES, BUT THEY DO NOT APPLY FOR RESTAURANTS WITH 30 OR 30% OR MORE OF THE AREA DEVOTED SEATING, UH, AT THIS RESTAURANT BE 49%.

SO THE DISTANT DISTANCE REQUIREMENT WOULD NOT APPLY.

UM, WE ALSO HAVE CITY COUNCIL POLICY 7 0 7, WHICH HAS, UH, STANDARD CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR ALL ALCOHOL RELATED BUSINESSES.

UM, AND THEN LOOKING AT CQA, THIS WILL BE A NEW BUSINESS IN AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL SUITE WITH NO EXPANSION, UH, THAT'S PROPOSED.

UM, SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING CLASS ONE SECTION 15 3 0 3, WHICH IS FOR EXISTING FACILITIES, UM, SUCH AS THIS COMMERCIAL SUITE.

LOOKING INTO THE HOURS OF OPERATION, UH, AS I MENTIONED, THE APPLICANT WAS OKAY WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO HAVE 12:00 PM TO 11:00 PM SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, AND THEN ALLOW TILL MIDNIGHT ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

UM, AGAIN, WE SPOKE WITH THE APPLICANT, THEY WERE OKAY WITH THAT.

UM, PREVIOUSLY, UM, WE'VE HAD A FEW MORE RECENT ONSITE, UH, APPROVALS THAT I HAVE LISTED HERE.

SUSHI AND GONE, UM, WAS APPROVED TILL 10:00 PM ON MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 11:00 PM SATURDAY, SUNDAY.

UH, SPICY HOT POT WAS APPROVED FOR 11:00 PM DAILY EVERY DAY.

UH, MANILA BISTRO, WHICH WAS VERY RECENT.

UM, THE COMMISSION VOTED FOR 11:00 PM MONDAY TO THURSDAY AND 12:00 AM SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, WHICH IS THE SAME AS THIS APPLICATION BEFORE YOU.

UM, FOR OUR INSTITUTE FOR FOR PUBLIC STRATEGIES COMMENTS, THEY'RE A NONPROFIT AGENCY THAT ASSISTS US.

THEY RECOMMENDED THAT THERE BE CLEAR SIGNAGE THAT ALCOHOL WILL NOT BE SOLD TO ANYONE UNDER 21, UH, TO MAINTAIN THE PREMISES FREE OF LITTER AND ALCOHOL RELATED DEBRIS, UM, AND HAVING KNOWLEDGE OF WHEN TO STOP SERVICE TO COME.

CUSTOMERS DUE TO, UM, THE BUSY AREA, I THINK THEY WERE CONCERNED WITH, UH, YOU KNOW, DUIS IN THIS BUSY AREA AND THE KIND OF THE SMALLER SITE.

UM, THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE'VE HAD IN OUR CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL IN THE PAST.

WE REQUIRE RESPONSIBLE BEVERAGE SERVICE TRAINING.

UH, WE REQUIRE SIGNAGE.

UM, THE SECOND ONE THERE, WE'VE HAD A CONDITION RELATED TO LITTER AND DEBRIS FOR OFF SALE LOCATIONS LIKE GROCERY STORES.

UM, BUT WE CAN ALSO HAVE THAT FOR ON SALE AS WELL.

UM, FROM OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, THEY ALWAYS CONDUCT A RISK ASSESSMENT FOR ALCOHOL APPLICATIONS.

THIS RECEIVED 12 POINTS.

THAT'S CONSIDERED A LOW RISK, WHICH IS 12 POINTS OR LESS.

UH, AND THIS, THIS IS ALWAYS BASED ON WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS IS BEING PROPOSED, HOW MANY LICENSES, CALLS FOR SERVICE, UH, BACKGROUND CHECKS ON THE APPLICANT, THAT SORT OF THING.

SO THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION, WE HAVE OUR STANDARD CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL RELATED TO CS AS WELL AS COUNCIL POLICY 7 0 7.

UH, WE ALSO RESTRICT HOURS OF OPERATION, UH, THE RESPONSIBLE BEVERAGE SERVICE AND SALES TRAINING I, I JUST MENTIONED.

UH, WE ALSO REQUIRE THAT THE ALCOHOL SALES REMAIN ACCESSORY TO THE RES RESTAURANT USE, SO IT'S NOT OPERATING AS A BAR.

UM, AND STAFF HAS DONE A BETTER JOB IN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO, REACHING OUT TO OUR RESTAURANTS, MAKING SURE THEY ARE PROVIDING THE SALES STATEMENTS EVERY YEAR.

UM, APP APPLICATION SPECIFIC CONDITIONS, UH, AGAIN, THE LITTER DEBRIS, GRAFFITI COMMENT FROM IPS, EXCUSE ME.

UM, AND THEN ANOTHER CONDITION WE'VE HAD ON SOME MORE RECENT APPLICATIONS, WHICH IS TO MAKE SURE OUTSIDE AREAS ARE WELL LIT.

FOR PEDESTRIANS AND SAFETY IN SUBMARINE, THE PROPOSED USE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GENERAL

[00:20:01]

UM, ALCOHOL SALES FOR ONSITE CONSUMPTION IS CONDITIONALLY ALLOWED IN THE MX C TWO ZONE.

THESE WOULD BE ACCESSORY TO THE RESTAURANT AND ESTABLISHED MIXED USE AREA.

AND WITH THE INCLUSION OF CON CONDITIONS CONSISTENT WITH POLICY 7 0 7, UH, THIS SHOULD ALLEVIATE CONCERNS RELATED TO AREA IMPACTS.

SO THE OPTIONS TONIGHT ARE FOR THE COMMISSION ARE TO FIND THE PROJECT EXEMPT FROM CQA AND IMPROVE THE CUP BASED ON FINDINGS LISTED IN THE DRAFT RESOLUTION OR FINDINGS FROM THE COMMISSION, OR FIND THE PROJECT NOT EXEMPT FROM CQA AND OR DENY THE PROJECT BASED ON FINDINGS LISTED IN THE DRAFT RESOLUTION OR FINDINGS DETERMINED BY THE COMMISSION.

OR YOU CAN ALSO CONTINUE THE ITEM FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

UH, STEPH IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL SHOULD IT BE APPROVED AND NOTICE OF, EXCUSE ME, SHOULD IT BE APPROVED OR DENIED, A NOTICE OF DE DECISION FORWARDED TO OUR CITY COUNCIL.

THAT CONCLUDES STAFF PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU.

I'M SORRY.

I HOPE YOU'RE A PADRE SUPPORTER NOW.

UH, IS THAT THE SAME RESTAURANT? THANK YOU.

AND DO YOU ALSO DO ALCOHOL SALES, UH, BEER AND WINE AT THAT RESTAURANT AS WELL? MY APOLOGIES.

YES.

OH, NO WORRIES.

THEY, THEY ALSO SERVICE, UH, ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AT THE OKAY.

AND HAVE THERE BEEN ANY ISSUES OR ANYTHING SURROUNDING ALCOHOL SALES AT THAT LOCATION? THERE HAVE NOT BECAUSE THEIR TRA THEIR STAFF IS TRYING TO STOP SERVING IF THEY NOTICE ANYONE THAT'S DRINKING TOO MUCH.

AND ALSO, IT IS REALLY JUST AN ACCESSORY TO THE FOOD.

IT IS AN ALL YOU CAN EAT, AND USUALLY AT AN ALL YOU CAN EAT RESTAURANT, PEOPLE TEND TO EAT WAY MORE THAN THEY'LL EVER DRINK .

SO IT'S, IT KIND OF LIKE PREVENTS THEM NATURALLY FROM DRINKING TOO MUCH.

GREAT.

THANK YOU.

THAT WAS MY QUESTION.

UH, COMMISSIONER GOGI, YOU MIGHT WANNA STAY UP HERE.

UM, DO YOU HAVE A PROJECTED OPENING DATE YET? UH, TO MY KNOWLEDGE,

[00:25:01]

UH, THE REASON WHY WE ARE DOING THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IS JUST SO WE CAN GO FORWARD WITH THE A, B, C AND SPECTRUM.

AND THEN JUST LIKE, KIND OF LIKE, AS THE PERMITS GET APPROVED, WE'LL START GETTING THE PROCESS ROLLING.

GOOD.

THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER ARMENTO, UH, IF YOU WANNA WAIT REALLY QUICK, BUT THIS IS FOR STAFF.

UM, WITH THE BUSINESS BEING HAD BEEN A TIRE SHOP, IS THERE ANY ENVIRONMENTAL STUFF THAT HAD TO BE CHECKED OR ANYTHING? I DON'T KNOW.

I'M JUST THINKING OF OTHER TIRE SHOPS THAT I GO TO, AND IT'S ALWAYS JUST A BUNCH OF, YOU KNOW, YEAH.

.

UM, YEAH, THE MADAM, WHY DON'T YOU COME UP AND, AND YOU CAN SPEAK AS SOON AS STAFF IS FINISHED.

OKAY.

MM-HMM.

SO, GO AHEAD.

STAFF.

SO I BELIEVE THE TIRE SHOP I WAS, THERE WAS MORE OF A RETAIL OUTLET, INSTALL TIRES, THAT KIND OF THING.

UM, BUT THAT WAS, UH, PRE COVI.

UM, SO I, I, I'M NOT AS FAMILIAR WITH THE FORMER BUSINESS.

UM, THE COMMERCIAL TI THEY HAVE TO GET FULL PERMITS AND EVERYTHING, SO IF THERE WAS ANY NECESSARY CLEANUP, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNCOVERED THROUGH EITHER ENGINEERING OR OUR BILLING DIVISION.

AND WHEN I WENT TO THE PROPERTY, IT'S LIKE A KIND, I SAW IT LIKE A L-SHAPED, AND THERE'S LIKE A, A CAR SHOP BEHIND IT.

SO THE RESTAURANT IS NOT TOUCHING THAT CAR SHOP ON THE BACKSIDE.

THE, UM, THERE ARE, THERE'S AN AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR USE MM-HMM .

UH, DIRECTLY BEHIND, BUT IS ON A SEPARATE PROPERTY.

UM, AND THAT'S ALSO WHAT WE CONSIDER A NON-CONFORMING USE THAT'S STILL THERE FROM PREVIOUS, UM, AUTO REPAIR.

CAN YOU BRING UP THE, UM, THE MAT BECAUSE THE ONE PROVIDED WAS DIFFERENT, THAT ONE.

SO IF WE LEAVE IT THERE, UM, THE PICTURES SHOWN OF THE RESTAURANT.

IS THIS HOW THE RESTAURANT IS GOING TO LOOK WITH ALL THE GLASS IN THE FRONT? UM, I'M ASKING THAT BECAUSE WHEN I DROVE BY, IS THAT PARK AREA, IS THAT THE BACKSIDE OF THE SCHOOL? SO I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHEN WE MEASURE THE SCHOOL DISTANCE, IS IT BEING MEASURED FROM THE ENTRANCE TO THE RESTAURANT TO WHERE I CAN SEE THE PLAYGROUND, UM, WHERE THE KIDS ARE PLAYING OUT THERE? SO UNDER THE MUNICIPAL CODE, THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY MINIMUM DISTANCE DUE TO THE USE TYPE.

IT'S A, UM, RESTAURANT WITH MORE THAN 30% SEATING AREA.

UM, THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE SCHOOL PROPERTY AND, AND THIS PROPERTY IS NOT VERY MUCH, IT'S LESS THAN A HUNDRED FEET.

UM, BUT IT, IT'S NOT, THERE ISN'T ONE THAT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

THE, THE LADY HAD A QUESTION OR A COMMENT, PLEASE.

I WAS THE REAL ESTATE BROKER.

COULD YOU PLEASE SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE? THANK YOU, MA'AM.

THE BROKER.

SO WHEN WE, THEY HAD TO FINANCE THE POLICE PURCHASE THAT TIME THE BANK WAS MAKE SURE SCREEN THE, IF THERE'S ANY ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE, IF THERE'S ANY ISSUE, THEY WOULDN'T GIVE US LOAN.

THEY GAVE LOAN TWICE THE FIRST TIME FOR BUILDING PURCHASE AND SECOND TIME FOR BUILDING IMPROVEMENT.

THEY'RE CHECKING REALLY SERIOUSLY ABOUT ENVIRONMENT.

AND WHEN WE PURCHASED THAT TIME, IT WAS, UH, EXERCISE, GYM.

YEAH, GYM.

VERY LONG TIME.

THAT'S WHY, YOU KNOW, THE BANK TWO BANK WAS REALLY VERY SERIOUS.

[4. Request to Initiate a Code Amendment to Title 18 (Zoning) of the National City Municipal Code amending Sections 18.30.380 and 18.30.390 related to the regulation of Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units.]

UH, ITEM FOUR IS A REQUEST TO INITIATE A CODE AMENDMENT, UH, TO TITLE 18 ZONING OF THE NATIONAL CITY MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDING SECTIONS 18.3 0.080.

AND SECTIONS 18.3 0.090 RELATED TO THE REGULATION OF ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.

WE'LL, STAFF PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND SUMMARIZE THE ITEM.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

AND ONCE AGAIN, MY NAME IS DAVID WELCH FROM THE NATIONAL CITY PLANNING DIVISION.

UM, THIS ITEM IS SIMPLY A REQUEST TO INITIATE AN AMENDMENT TO TITLE 18, UH, AN UPDATE TO, UH, SECTIONS 18 33 80 AND THREE 90.

UH, THESE ARE, ARE SECTIONS SPECIFIC TO THE REGULATIONS OF ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.

SO I WANNA PROVIDE SOME BACKGROUND, UH, TO KIND OF EXPLAIN WHERE WE'RE AT AND WHERE WE'RE GOING.

UM, THESE TWO SECTIONS, AS I MENTIONED, THEY REGULATE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ACCESSORY UNITS.

UM, ACCESSORY UNITS HAVE BEEN WIDELY ENCOURAGED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THROUGH LEGISLATIVE ACTION OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS.

I WAS LOOKING THAT UP THIS AFTERNOON.

UH, THE FIRST MAJOR LEGISLATION WAS BACK IN 2016.

UM, AND THEN, UH, OVER THE YEARS THERE'S BEEN STRONGER AND MORE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS THAT CITIES HAVE TO FOLLOW.

UM, AND THE STATE HAS ALSO RECOGNIZED THAT ACCESSORY UNITS ARE A NECESSARY COMPONENT TO INCREASING THE HOUSING SUPPLY THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.

SO, AS WE GET NEWER STATE LAWS RELATED TO ACCESSORY UNITS, UH, WE'RE SEEING MORE AND MORE LANGUAGE ABOUT HOUSING CRISIS, THE NEED FOR THIS TYPE OF HOUSING.

UM, THE CURRENT CODE SECTIONS, UH, MENTIONED ABOVE THERE WERE ADOPTED BY OUR CITY COUNCIL IN 2021.

UH, OVERALL, ADUS AT BOTH THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL HAVE BEEN WIDELY SUCCESSFUL.

UM, JUST GOING BACK TO THE LAST YEAR IN 2025, UH, 49 OUTTA THE 59 DWELLING, 51 DWELLING UNITS IN THE CITY WERE ADUS.

SO WE CAN SEE WHERE A LARGE NUMBER OF UNITS THEY ARE COMPARED TO SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS WE SEE, UM, IN THE ENTIRE STATE.

UH, I GOT THIS OFF AI, SO I'M NOT GONNA STAND ON THAT, BUT ABOUT 41,000 ADUS WERE BUILT IN CALIFORNIA LAST YEAR, UH, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT 26% OF ALL PERMITTED USE UNITS.

SO OF THE NEW HOUSING COMING INTO THE STATE, A

[00:35:01]

UM, IN OUR ORDINANCE ADOPTED IN 2021, WE GAVE THESE PURPOSES, UH, TO PROVIDE AN AFFORDABLE TYPE OF HOUSING TO CONSTRUCT WITHOUT THE COST OF ACQUIRING NEW LAND, UH, THIS EXISTING LAND WE CAN USE, UH, NOT HAVING DEDICATED PARKING OR OTHER COSTLY INFRASTRUCTURE.

UM, THIS ALLOWS US TO HAVE NEW HOUSING UNITS WHILE PRESERVING CHARACTER IN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS.

ADDING ONE UNIT AT A TIME, UM, ALLOWS AN EFFICIENT USE OF CITY CITY'S HOUSING STOCK AND INFRASTRUCTURE.

UM, IF YOU HAVE A LARGER HOUSE, YOU CAN CONVERT A PORTION OF IT TO ANOTHER UNIT, UM, AND ALSO PROVIDING HOUSING OPTIONS AND CHOICES THAT RESPOND TO VARYING INCOME LEVELS, CHANGING HOUSEHOLD SIZE, SIZES, AND LIFESTYLE NEEDS.

UH, SO MAYBE YOU NEED A FAMILY MEMBER TO LIVE WITH YOU FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

UH, MAYBE, UH, YOU NEED A CAREGIVER TO PROVIDE, UH, HEALTHCARE TO YOU IN YOUR OWN HOME.

UH, THERE'S A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY WITH ADUS.

UH, IT ALSO PROVIDES A MEANS FOR RESIDENTS, UH, SENIORS, SINGLE PARENTS, YOUNG SINGLES TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES AND NEIGHBORHOODS OBTAIN AND PRESERVE INCOME, HAS SECURITY, COMPANIONSHIP AND ASSISTANCE.

SO FINDING WAYS TO MAKE SURE OUR PROPERTIES AND HOUSING IN CITY OF NASHVILLE CITY CAN PROVIDE THE NEEDS, UM, USING THE PROPERTIES WE ALREADY HAVE.

SO THE STATE LEGISLATION HAS HAD NUMEROUS UPDATES SINCE 2021 WHEN WE LAST PASSED OUR ORDINANCE.

UH, WE EVEN HAVE THE STATE'S HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT REACH OUT TO US AND ASK ABOUT OUR ORDINANCE AND WHY ARE WE UPDATING IT.

UM, PROBABLY THE REASON THEY REACH OUT TO US IS BECAUSE A MORE RECENT, UH, STATE LAW, SB 1211 SPECIFICALLY REQUIRES CITIES TO DO THOSE UPDATES.

UH, SB 1211 IS A LAW THAT NOW ALLOWS UP TO EIGHT DETACHED ADUS ON MULTI-FAMILY PROPERTIES.

WE NEED TO EXPLAIN THAT IN OUR CODE.

UM, SO WE CAN SAY THAT OUR CURRENT ORDINANCE SECTIONS RELATED TO ADUS AND JDS ARE OBSOLETE.

THEY DEFINITELY NEED UPDATING.

UM, WHILE STEPH HAS IMPLEMENTED PRACTICES TO BE CONSISTENT WITH NEWER STATE LAWS, AN UPDATE WILL HELP ACCURATELY INFORM THE PUBLIC OF CURRENT A DU REQUIREMENTS.

SO RIGHT NOW, WHEN WE TALK TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ABOUT BUILDING ADUS, WE HAD TO REFER TO TITLE 18.

WE HAD TO GO TO THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE, AND WE HAVE TO USE THE STATE'S HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, A DU HANDBOOK, WHICH IS CONSTANTLY REVISED.

UH, SO WE'RE GETTING INFORMATION FROM A LOT OF DIFFERENT PLACES.

AND AN ORDINANCE UPDATE WILL HELP MAKE THAT EASIER.

UH, SO THE OH, CARRY OVER.

I'M SORRY.

UM, IN SUMMARY, STAFF IS PROPOSING A COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE OF SECTIONS 18 33 80 AND 18 33 90, UH, THREE 80 BEING A THREE 90 BEING JDS.

UM, THIS, THE ACTUAL ORDINANCE LANGUAGE OR TEXT AMENDMENTS WILL BROUGHT, BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AT A FUTURE PUBLIC HEARING.

SHOULD THE COMMISSION VOTE TO INITIATE TONIGHT, UH, I ESTIMATE THIS LIKE WOULD BE EARLY 2027, SO NOT TOO LONG FROM NOW.

UM, SO TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THE UPDATES THAT ARE NEEDED.

UM, SO THE STATE ACTUALLY CHANGED THE GOVERNMENT CODE SECTIONS RELATED TO ADUS.

UH, THE MAIN SECTION IS NOW 6 6 3 2 2.

THESE ARE STATE MANDATED A DU TYPOLOGIES.

SO IF YOU HAVE A SINGLE FAMILY HOME, YOU CAN HAVE A DETACHED A DU OR AN ATTACHED A DU OR A CONVERSION, A DU.

IF YOU HAVE A MULTIFAMILY PROPERTY, YOU CAN HAVE A CONVERSION, A DU WITHIN THE MULTIFAMILY BUILDING, OR YOU CAN HAVE DETACHED ADUS.

UH, THAT CAN BE UP TO EIGHT, BUT NOT TO EXCEED THE NUMBER OF EXISTING UNITS ON SITE.

SO, UH, THE STATE HAS STARTED TO GET VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT THE STATE MANDATED OR STATE EXEMPT ADUS.

UM, WE NEED TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT IN OUR CODE.

UM, WE ALSO NEED TO BE CLEAR ABOUT ADUS THAT MAY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND, UH, THE STATE EXEMPT STATE MANDATED ADUS.

UH, WHEN WE DID OUR CODE UPDATE OR ORDINANCES IN 2021, WE WANTED TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THE STATE BY BEING A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBLE.

WE ARE THE MOST BUILT OUT CITY IN THE COUNTY.

UM, WE HAVE SMALLER PROPERTIES, A LOT OF THINGS ON OUR PROPERTIES.

UH, SO WE WANTED TO ALLOW, UH, FIRST OF ALL, LARGER ADUS TO ACCOMMODATE FAMILIES, UM, UP TO 1200 SQUARE FEET, UM, AND A LITTLE BIT MORE HEIGHT ON SMALLER PROPERTIES OR ON PROPERTIES WHERE PEOPLE WANTED TO PRESERVE THEIR GARAGES.

UM, AND STAFF IS ALSO INTENDING TO KEEP THIS FLEXIBILITY WE ALREADY BUILT IN, UH, WITH THESE CODE UPDATES AS LONG AS THEY'RE FEASIBLE.

UM, ALSO UPDATING STANDARDS THAT HAVE BEEN MODIFIED BY STATE LEGISLATION.

UH, SO THE HEIGHT OF ADUS MAXIMUM HEIGHT HAS CHANGED FOR QUITE A BIT FROM THE STATE.

UH, THERE'S BEEN UPDATES BASED ON DIFFERENT SCENARIOS AND HOW TALL YOUR A DU

[00:40:01]

UM, DOING THE A DU UPDATE NOW ALSO ALLOWS US TO INCORPORATE SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES COMING IN ON JANUARY 1ST.

UH, SO THE STATE, THE GOVERNOR SIGNED ON HIS DESK, UH, A NEW LAW THAT WOULD ALLOW SECOND DETACHED DATA USE.

SO IF YOU HAVE A SINGLE FAMILY PROPERTY, YOU COULD NOW HAVE TWO DETACHED DATA USE.

SO JANUARY 1ST.

AND THEY'VE, UH, SIGNIFICANTLY MODIFIED HOW WE, UH, DO DEVELOPMENT FEE CALCULATIONS.

UM, SO THERE'LL BE LESS DEVELOPMENT FEES FOR NEW A A DU APPLICANTS MOVING FORWARD WITH THE NEW STATE CHANGES.

UM, LIKE I MENTIONED, THE GOVERNMENT CODE REFERENCES CHANGED, UH, A COUPLE YEARS AGO.

UH, SO WE NEED TO UPDATE THOSE REFERENCES IN OUR CODE FOR CONSISTENCY.

UH, WE ALSO NEED TO GO THROUGH TITLE 18 TO MAKE SURE ANY OTHER REFERENCES SUCH AS OUR LAND USE TABLE ARE, ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE PROPOSED CHANGES.

UH, SO WE COULD END UP SEEING DIFFERENT CODE SECTIONS MENTIONED WHEN WE COME BACK WITH A FULL ORDINANCE UPDATE.

UM, AND WE WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT CQA AT THE NEXT STEP WHEN WE COME IN FOR THE ACTUAL AMENDMENT.

UM, IN THE PAST, MOST OF OUR UPDATES OF THIS NATURE TENDED NOT BE A PROJECT.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL CONTINUE DOWN THAT PATH.

UM, SO THE OPTIONS HERE TONIGHT FOR THE COMMISSION ARE TO INITIATE PROCEEDINGS TO AMEND TITLE 18 OR FILE THE REPORT AND DENY REQUEST STAFF IS RECOMMENDING TO INITIATE THE PROCEEDINGS, UH, SHOULD THEY BE INITIATED.

THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITH THE FULL PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, UH, STAFF IS HERE TO PROVIDE THAT ASSISTANCE.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? OKAY.

IS THERE A MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION THAT WOULD LIKE TO BRING A MOTION TO APPROVE THE, UH, INITIATION AMENDING TO TITLE 18 ZONING OF THE NATIONAL CITY MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDING, UH, AMENDING SECTIONS 18 33 80 AND 18 33 90 RELATED TO THE REGULATIONS OF ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS? I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER VALENZUELA AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER QUINONES TO APPROVE THE INITIATION AMENDING, UH, TITLE 18 ZONING.

UH, THE COMMISSION WILL NOW VOTE ELECTRONICALLY.
