WE HAVE ONE MORE PRESENTATION AND THAT'S A PRESENTATION OF WALLET HUB'S RANKING OF THE HAPPIEST PLACES TO LIVE IN AMERICA.

[B4. Presentation of Wallet Hub's Ranking of the Happiest Places to Live in America. ]

GOOD EVENING MAYOR, MR. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL TONIGHT.

HOPE AND I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF PRESENTING RANCHO CUCAMONGA RANKING IN THE RECENT STUDY FROM WALLET HUB, THE STUDY ASSESSES THE HAPPIEST CITIES IN AMERICA.

WALLET HUB EXAMINED DATA FROM OVER 180 OF THE LARGEST CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA RANKED NUMBER ONE IN THE INLAND EMPIRE AND 53RD.

OVERALL, THE METHOD, THE METHODOLOGY FOR THESE RANKINGS WERE BROKEN DOWN INTO THESE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.

THE CITY RANKED NUMBER ONE IN THE INLAND EMPIRE FOR EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL WELLBEING, WHICH TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION FACTORS SUCH AS LIFE SATISFACTION INDEX, ADEQUATE SLEEP RATE, AND SPORTS PARTICIPATION RATE FOR INCOME AND EMPLOYMENT.

THE CITY PLACED THIRD IN THE INLAND EMPIRE UNDER THIS CATEGORY, FACTORS SUCH AS THE INCOME, GROWTH RATE, UNEMPLOYMENT RATE, AND COMMUTE TIME WERE CONSIDERED.

LASTLY, THE CITY RANKED THIRD IN THE INLAND EMPIRE UNDER COMMUNITY AND ENVIRONMENT, WHICH INCLUDED FACTORS SUCH AS SEPARATION AND DIVORCE RATE, IDEAL WEATHER AND AVERAGE LEISURE TIME SPENT PER DAY.

WE TOOK A DEEPER LOOK INTO THE TOP METRICS FOR EACH CATEGORY.

THE KEY INGREDIENTS TO THE LIFE SATISFACTION INDEX UNDER EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL WELLBEING INCLUDE A POSITIVE MENTAL STATE, HEALTHY BODY, STRONG SOCIAL CONNECTIONS, JOB SATISFACTION AND FINANCIAL WELLBEING, ALL OF WHICH ARE ATTAINABLE LIVING HERE IN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

UNDER INCOME AND EMPLOYMENT, THE INCOME GROWTH RATE WAS THE TOP METRIC YOU MIGHT REMEMBER IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR, WE PRESENTED THIS STUDY FROM SMART ASSETS THAT SHOWED A 29% INCREASE IN INCOME FROM 2021 TO 2022.

THAT, AND THAT IS ANTICIPATED TO GROW AS A CITY DEVELOPS AND WORKS TO ATTRACT MORE HIGH PAYING JOBS.

STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT INCREASING YOUR INCOME ALSO INCREASES YOUR HAPPINESS UP TO $75,000, BUT NOT BEYOND RANCHO MGA'S.

CURRENT MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS OVER $91,000.

THIS OFFERS AMPLE OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO SEEK HAPPINESS OUTSIDE THEIR PAYCHECK.

WITH MANY AMENITIES THE COMMUNITY HAS TO OFFER UNDER COMMUNITY AND ENVIRONMENT, THE AVERAGE LEISURE TIME SPENT PER DAY WAS A VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR.

ACCORDING TO ESRI'S SPORTS AND LEISURE MARKET POTENTIAL STUDY, 20% OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE LIKELY TO HIKE ONCE A MONTH, 34% REGULARLY WALK FOR EXERCISE, AND 61% HAVE MANAGED TO FIND A LITTLE RELAXING TIME TO ENJOY ROOTING FOR THEIR

[00:25:01]

ADDITIONAL SECONDARY HEALTH DATA HIGHLIGHTS IMPROVED HEALTH OUTCOMES, UH, AND SOCIAL ECONOMIC FACTORS FOR THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA WHEN COMPARED TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.

OVERALL, THE CITY HAS A HIGHER LIFE EXPECTANCY BY ABOUT TWO YEARS COMPARED TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.

WE ALSO HAVE LOWER RATES OF CHRONIC DISEASE AND LOWER RATES OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING POVERTY.

UH, LASTLY, THE CITY OVERALL EXPERIENCES LOWER RATES OF MENTAL HEALTH COMPARED TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.

UH, AS WE'VE DEMONSTRATED THE HAPPIEST CITIES COMBINE ECONOMIC SECURITY WITH KIND COMMUNITIES AND CONDITIONS THAT ARE CONDUCIVE TO IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH AND HIGH LIFE SATISFACTION.

THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA HAS ALWAYS VALUED HEALTH AND WELLNESS, AND THIS IS DEMONSTRATED THROUGH ITS HEALTHY RC INITIATIVE AND THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE.

HEALTHY RC PROMOTES CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND MOBILIZES COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL LEADERS TO MAKE MEANINGFUL CHANGE TO ADVANCE HEALTH, WELLNESS AND HAPPINESS.

ONE OF THE PRIORITIES WE ARE HIGHLIGHTING FOR THE MONTH OF MAY IS MENTAL HEALTH, WHICH DIRECTLY IMPACTS HAPPINESS.

WE'LL BE PROMOTING MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES AND BRINGING AWARENESS TO REMOVE THE STIGMA AROUND MENTAL HEALTH AND ASKING FOR HELP.

WE ALSO HAVE A VARIETY OF OTHER WAYS TO GET INVOLVED.

WE HAVE OUR MENTAL HEALTH SUBCOMMITTEES SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL FOR ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND SAFE STREETS COMPASSIONATE COMMUNITIES, AND OUR HEALTHIER C STEERING COMMITTEE.

AND WE ENCOURAGE OUR COMMUNITY TO VISIT HEALTHIER C.COM FOR MORE WAYS TO GET INVOLVED.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING TOGETHER TO CON CONTINUE TO MAKE RANCHO CUCAMONGA THE HEALTHIEST AND HAPPIEST IT CAN BE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.

UM, AND I APPRECIATE, I THINK WE ALL APPRECIATE YOU DISSECTING A LITTLE BIT OF THE DATA TO QUANTIFY IT FOR US TO SEE HOW WE, WE STOOD UP WITH THE REST OF THE COUNTRY.

MR. STOY, FOLLOWED BY DAN GRIFFITH.

OH, I'LL, I'LL TAKE MY HAT OFF.

I HOPE YOU'RE NOT BLINDED BY THE REFLECTION OFF AT THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME A BIT, SIR.

, UH, YEAH, I, I AM, UH, GONNA PROVIDE SOME COMMENTARY ABOUT, UH, ITEM D SEVEN ON THE, UH, UH, CONSENT AGENDA.

UH, KNOWING THAT I, UH, HAVE LED THE OPPOSITION, UH, TO THE, UH, SYCAMORE HEIGHTS PROJECT OVER THE YEARS, UH, MY FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS HAVE, UH, RELIED ON ME AS A, UH, RELIABLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT.

UH, AS TIME HAS GONE ON, I, I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, THANK, UH, SOME CITY STAFF MEMBERS WHO'VE BEEN HELPFUL IN THAT REGARD.

UH, UH, SEAN MCPHERSON, NICOLE ROBINSON, UH, JARED KNIGHT IN PLANNING AND, UH, FOR THE FOOTHILL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, UH, RELIABLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION HAS BEEN, UH, ROMEO, DAVID, JOHN.

IF, IF YOU COULD GET THE WORD TO TO THOSE PEOPLE, I'D APPRECIATE IT.

UH, THEY PROBABLY GET YELLED AT A LOT, SO, YOU KNOW, PAT ON THE BACK WON'T HURT.

UH, I, I STILL HAVE SOME, UH, CONCERNS ABOUT THE, UH, SYCAMORE HEIGHTS PROJECT, UH, EVEN THOUGH IT'S, UH, ALREADY UNDERWAY.

BUT, UH, MET BEFORE THE COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT WITH, UH, UH, BLAINE HUMBLES AND CARL REICHMUTH OF LENNAR, THE, UH, THE NEW OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY AND, AND THE PROJECT.

AND, UH, THEY HAVE AGREED TO, UH, HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING WITH THOSE OF US IN THIS SURROUNDING AREA.

UH,

[00:30:02]

AND, UH, I, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THEM BOTH FOR, FOR, UH, BE WILLING TO DO, DO THAT.

UH, THERE'S NO OBLIGATION ON THEIR PART TO DO SO, BUT I, I KNOW SPEAKING FOR MYSELF AND, UH, UH, SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WE WILL APPRECIATE HAVING THAT OPPORTUNITY.

SO ON THAT POSITIVE NOTE, I SHALL CONCLUDE MY REMARKS, UH, BEFORE THE HOOK COMES OUT TO, UH, REMOVE ME FROM THE, UH, PODIUM.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.

THANK YOU, SIR.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS DAN GRIFFITH.

MY NAME IS DAN GRIFFITH.

I'M A FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR OF HANK'S TOYS AND I WAS HERE MOSTLY IF FRANK WEREN'T, WERE NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT TONIGHT.

I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT ITEM D SEVEN AS WELL.

REGARDLESS OF OF WHAT MAY BE SAID.

FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS, I'VE BEEN TAKEN BACK TO THE TIME I WAS ABOUT EIGHT YEARS OLD, WHICH WAS A LONG, LONG TIME AGO.

I USED TO PLAY WITH TONKA TRUCKS A LOT.

SO OUT OF OUR BACK WINDOW THE LAST TWO WEEKS, WE'VE HAD A TONKA SHOW IN REAL LIFE, HEAVY DUTY MACHINERY WORKING ON THAT HILLSIDE UP THERE.

AND I FOUND THAT THERE'S ONE OTHER PERSON THAT LIKES THEM EVEN MORE THAN I DO.

AND IT'S MY LOVELY WIFE, STRAIGHT .

UH, ANYWAY, WE HAD A, A GUEST JUST WATCHING THE PEOPLE WE MET, UH, SOME OF THE PROJECT PEOPLE DOWN THERE AND STUFF.

VERY PROFESSIONAL, VERY COURTEOUS AND THIS AND THAT.

MY POINT FOR WANTING TO SPEAK TONIGHT WAS THIS, THE LAST TIME WE HEARD SOMETHING FROM THIS PROJECT WAS 2016.

AND MUCH WORK HAD BEEN DONE ON THE PART OF A LOT OF PEOPLE, NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH WAS HANK AND TRYING TO MUSCLE ATTENTION OUTTA THAT PROJECT, BUT IT'S BEEN REAL DRY SINCE THEN AND WE'VE SEEN CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP.

AND SO MY POINT TONIGHT IS IT'D BE REASONABLE REQUEST, I THINK, TO HAVE AN UPDATE MEETING ON IS IT THE SAME PROJECT? IS IT WHAT WE WERE LED TO BELIEVE IT WAS GOING TO BE? AND I'M SURE THERE'S ANSWERS THERE.

WE JUST, IT HASN'T BEEN FORTHCOMING.

SO I HEAR ABOUT HANK'S PROGRESS TONIGHT WITH THE FOLKS FROM OUR, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR THAT COMPANY.

THEY DO A GREAT JOB IN WHAT THEY DO.

UH, BUT WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A LITTLE SEAT AT THE TABLE TO SAY, IS IT WHAT YOU SAID IT WAS GOING TO BE? THERE WERE INDICATIONS ON HILLSIDE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE SIZE OF THE TREES THAT WERE GONNA GO IN AND THE SHRUBBERY THAT IT WOULDN'T BLOCK EVERYONE'S VIEW OF EVERYTHING.

WE KNOW WE'RE NOT GUARANTEED A VIEW, BUT THEY WERE SENSITIVE TO THAT AND SAID THEY WERE LIMITING THE SIZE OF THE, UH, BRINGING THE TREES AND DOES THAT STILL EXIST? IT'S QUESTIONS LIKE THAT THAT WE JUST DON'T KNOW.

AND SO TO HEAR FROM THEM WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA.

WE'D APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT AND MAKING SURE IT HAPPENS.

THANK YOU, SIR.

APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.

YOU BET.

AND, UH, I JUST WILL MAKE ONE FINAL REMARK IS THANK YOU LENNAR HOLMES FOR BEING SENSITIVE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND THERE AND TRYING TO DO YOUR BEST TO MEET WITH THEM TO UNDERSTAND THEIR CONCERNS.

AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT OPENNESS.

CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT.

NOW WE MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT CALENDARS FOLLOWING CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ROUTINE AND NON-CONTROVERSIAL.

THEY'RE GONNA BE ACTED UPON AT ONE TIME WITHOUT DISCUSSION.

HOWEVER, ANY MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY REMOVE AN ITEM FOR SUCH DISCUSSION SHOULD THEY SO DESIRE.

MR. MAYOR, I NEED TO ABSTAIN FROM ITEM D TWO DUE TO POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST AS SOCALGAS IS

[D. CONSENT CALENDAR]

OKAY.

UH, THE ABSTENTION FROM ITEM D TWO IS NOTED, BUT FOR COUNCILWOMAN SCOTT, UM, DO I HAVE A, A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT CALENDAR? SO MOVED.

SECOND, PLEASE VOTE.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY WITH COUNCIL MEMBER SCOTT ABSTAINING ON ITEM D TWO.

VERY GOOD.

WE HAVE, UM, TWO ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING ITEMS AND ONE PUBLIC HEARING ITEM AND STAFF HAS, HAS DONE THIS AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS.

UM, STAFF HAS PREPARED A JOINT STAFF REPORT FOR ORDINANCES NUMBER 1 10 26, 10 27, AND 10 28.

[E. CONSENT CALENDAR ORDINANCE(S) - SECOND READING/ADOPTION]

[F1. ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING ITEM(S) AND G1. ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARINGS ITEM(S) - CITY/FIRE DISTRICT (JOINT STAFF REPORT)]

AND ANY QUESTIONS OF COUNCIL HAVE HAVE BEEN ANSWERED.

SO THE, UH, PRESENTATION IS YOURS.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL TONIGHT.

WE HAVE BEFORE YOU THREE ORDINANCES FOR THEIR FIRST READING FROM ANIMAL SERVICES, COMMUNITY SERVICES AND PLANNING.

SO I WILL START FIRST WITH ANIMAL SERVICES.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT IS TO TITLE SIX, WHICH PERTAINS TO OUR POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND VICIOUS ANIMAL CODE SECTION.

THE LAST TIME WE REVIEWED THIS CODE SECTION WAS OVER 10 YEARS AGO, UNFORTUNATELY, UM, IN THE LAST YEAR, WE'VE HAD A FEW CASES OF POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS OR VICIOUS DOGS THAT HAVE BEEN DECLARED.

AND THIS HAS PROMPTED US TO DO A REVIEW

[00:35:01]

VERY GOOD.

SOME OF THE UPDATES YOU'LL SEE IS UPDATED LANGUAGE TO CLEARLY IDENTIFY WHO THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY IS OF THE DOGS.

UM, ADDS DEFINITIONS FOR THE TERMINOLOGY SUCH AS UNPROVOKED CLARIFIES THE PROCESS TO DESIGNATE A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS OR VICIOUS VICIOUS ANIMAL, WHAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL PROCESS IS AND WHAT THE TIMEFRAME IS TO APPEAL TO THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY COURT.

NOT IF FOR THOSE DOG OWNERS THAT DON'T AGREE WITH THE DECISION OF THE ADMIN HEARING OFFICER.

IT ALSO REQUIRES OWNERS OF DECLARED PDV OR POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VICIOUS DOGS TO MAINTAIN LIABILITY INSURANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF AT LEAST A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IF THEY'RE GONNA MAINTAIN OWNERSHIP.

WE ADDED SECTION 6.0 4.060, WHICH STATES THAT A PDV DESIGNATION MAY BE REMOVED AFTER 36 MONTH PERIOD IF THERE ARE NO FURTHER INCIDENCES AND THE OWNERS HAVE MITIGATED ANY RISKS.

AND THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW.

WE ADDED SECTION 6.0 4.090 THAT PREVENTS A PDV DOG THAT WAS DECLARED IN ANOTHER JURISDICTION FROM BEING MOVED TO RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

SO THAT'S PRETTY COMMON WHEN YOU HAVE AN ANIMAL THAT IS DECLARED AS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VICIOUS ANIMAL, THOSE OWNERS WILL SEEK FOR THAT DOG TO BE MOVED TO ANOTHER COMMUNITY.

AND SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WEREN'T MOVED TO OUR COMMUNITY.

SO THAT CONCLUDES THE ANIMAL SERVICES SECTION.

I'LL TURN IT OVER TO NATHAN FOR COMMUNITY SERVICES.

THANK YOU VERONICA.

UH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

SO THE NEXT SECTION THAT WE'RE GONNA BE REVIEWING PERTAINS TO THE LAWFUL USE OF PARKS, RECREATION TRAILS, LIBRARIES, AND OTHER RECREATIONAL FACILITIES OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE CITY.

SO THESE RE REGULATIONS ENTAIL ITEMS THAT INCLUDE, UM, ANIMALS, ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, HOURS OF USE, FIRE AND STOVE USAGE, VEHICLE USAGE, PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT USAGE, LITTERING, UM, MUSIC EVENTS, VOLUME OF MUSIC AND SELLING OF MERCHANDISE.

SO WE ARE AMENDING SECTION 12.0 4.010 AND SOME OF THESE AMENDMENTS INCLUDE UPDATING LANGUAGE FROM CONSISTENT TO AUTHORIZATION.

UM, SO AS WELL AS REQUIREMENTS OF WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION TO EXTEND OPERATIONAL HOURS, CLARIFYING LANGUAGE ADDED TO BE PROVIDED BY THE CITY AS IT RELATES TO PERMISSIBLE STOVE AND FIRE CIRCLE USAGE.

UPDATING REGULATIONS REGARDING THE USE OF VEHICLES IN THE PARKS, PROVIDING SOME MORE SPECIFICITY IN TERMS OF THE DEFINITIONS OF LITTERING, ADDING REGULATIONS REGARDING THE USAGE AND SETUP OF ANY LARGE EQUIPMENT, ADDING REGULATIONS REGARDING USAGE OF COMMERCIAL, UH, FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES, ADDING AND DEFINING PROHIBITIVE ACTS OF VANDALISM AND ADDING PROHIBITED USAGE CONTRARY TO OTHER CITY REGULATIONS, PROHIBITIONS AND OTHER DIRECTIVES.

SO ALL OF THESE CHANGES, UH, WILL RESULT ALSO IN NEEDING TO UPDATE, UH, SUBDIVISION B OF SECTION 12.0 4.020 SO THAT WE AMEND THE LANGUAGE TO ACCURATE ACCURATELY CROSS-REFERENCE ALL THE AFFIRMATION CHANGES.

AND LIKEWISE, WE WILL ALSO BE UPDATING, UM, SECTION 8 4 0 8 SUBDIVISION D AGAIN, UH, UPDATING THIS LANGUAGE SO IT CROSS CORRECTLY, CROSS REFERENCES THE AFFIRMATION CHANGES, AND I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MY COWORKER.

THANK YOU.

UM, THE FINAL SECTION HERE IS, UH, TITLE 17, WHICH IS OUR LAND USE AMENDMENTS.

AS YOU KNOW, WE UM, DID A COMPREHENSIVE CODE UPDATE IN 2022, AND WE REGULARLY HAVE DONE SEVERAL UPDATES IN LAST YEAR.

OCCASIONAL INCONSISTENCIES HAVE BEEN FOUND THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

AND UM, WE ALSO HAVE A FEW UPDATES TO STATE LAW THAT HAVE TRIGGERED A FEW OF OUR CHANGES.

UM, THE FIRST ONE RELATES TO OUR DENSITY BONUS SECTION.

WE HAVE A LOT OF DEVELOPERS THAT ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF DENSITY BONUS LAW, AND SO WE WANTED TO MAKE TWO CHANGES.

THE FIRST ONE IS TO MAKE SURE, UH, THAT THE PROJECTS COULD MOVE THROUGH THE PROCESS SMOOTHLY AND AS EXPEDITIOUSLY AS POSSIBLE.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DENSITY BONUS AGREEMENTS MOVE AWAY FROM PRIOR TO THE ENTITLEMENT PROCESS AND MOVE IT AFTER ENTITLEMENTS, BUT BEFORE THE ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS.

SO THAT ALLOWS THEM TO FOCUS ON GETTING THROUGH THE ENTITLEMENT PROCESS AND THEN WE CAN DO THE COVENANT THAT RESTRICTS THE UNITS ACCORDINGLY AFTER THE FACT.

THE SECOND ONE IS, UM, THE APPROVAL OR DENIAL OF DENSITY, UH, BONUS INCENTIVES AND CONCESSIONS.

UM, CURRENTLY THOSE, UH, SIT WITH THE CITY COUNCIL.

WE'VE RECEIVED SOME GUIDANCE FROM THE STATE THAT THAT SHOULD ALL SIT WITH ONE HEARING BODY.

SO WE'RE MAKING THE RECOMMENDATION TO MOVE THAT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UM, AS, UH, WITH ANY PROJECT THAT CAN THEN BE APPEALED TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

THANKS.

THE NEXT ONE IS, UM, CHANGES TO ADUS.

UM, UH, ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS HAVE BEEN, HAVE GONE THROUGH, UM, A SERIES OF REGULAR LEGISLATIVE UPDATES OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

UH, PREVIOUSLY WE USED TO APPLY A DEED RESTRICTION TO THOSE PROPERTIES THAT WOULD, UM, REQUIRE OWNER OCCUPANCY.

HOWEVER, THE STATE HAS REMOVED THAT REQUIREMENT.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND REMOVE THE DEED

[00:40:01]

ANY OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR, UM, A DU MANAGEMENT SUCH AS THE PRO PROHIBITION OF THEM TO BE USED FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS IS ALREADY EXISTING IN OUR CODE AND THAT CAN BE MANAGED THROUGH OUR ADMINISTRATIVE, UM, PROCESS WITH COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT.

AGAIN, THIS FACILITATES THE FASTER DEVELOPMENT OF A DU PERMITS, UM, TO HELP MEET OUR GOALS IN THE HOUSING ELEMENT.

UM, THE LA UH, LAST COUPLE OF CHANGES ARE SOME, UH, INTENTIONAL, UH, ERRORS THAT WE FOUND AND INCONSISTENCIES.

THE FIRST ONE IS OUR CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS PROCESS.

THIS IS FOR HISTORIC PROPERTIES THAT NEED MINOR UP, UH, UPGRADES OR, UH, MINOR RESTORATIONS.

UM, IN THE PAST WE USED TO HAVE A PUBLIC DIRECTOR HEARING PROCESS THAT WAS ELIMINATED MANY YEARS AGO.

AND SO WE'RE JUST CHANGING THE LANGUAGE HERE SO THAT THE PLANNING DIRECTOR CAN CONTINUE TO REVIEW THOSE.

THEY'LL JUST BE REVIEWED ADMINISTRATIVELY.

AWESOME.

AND OUR LAST CHANGE IS TO OUR TWO ALLOWED USE DESCRIPTIONS, UH, MICRO, MICRO BREWERIES AND WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION.

UM, IN THE PAST WE USED TO HAVE ONE TYPE OF USE PERMIT, A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.

A UH, LAST YEAR OR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WE SWITCHED.

WE SPLIT THOSE OUT TO A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND MINOR USE PERMIT.

THESE TWO DESCRIPTIONS WERE NOT UPDATED SO THAT THEY CAN GO THROUGH THE MINOR USE PERMIT, WHICH IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE USE PERMIT PROCESS.

WITH THAT STAFF HAS COMPLETED THEIR PRESENTATION AND AT THIS TIME WE ARE RECOMMENDING FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES 10 26, 10 27, AND 10 20 28 TO BE READ BY TITLE ONLY AND WAIVE FURTHER READING.

THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION.

WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

ANY QUESTIONS OF COUNSEL BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARINGS.

ON EACH ONE OF THESE ITEMS, WE'LL DO THREE PUBLIC HEARINGS, SO THERE'S NO CONFUSION AS TO WHICH ONE PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING TO.

SEEING NONE, WE'LL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ORDINANCE NUMBER 10 26, WHICH WAS THE ORDINANCE DEALING WITH CITY PARKS, RECREATIONAL TRAILS, LIBRARIES, AND OTHER RECREATIONAL FACILITIES.

ANY 10, I'M SORRY, MAYOR.

MR. MAYOR 10 26 IS TITLE 17? OH, I'M SORRY.

YES, I GOT AHEAD OF MYSELF.

OKAY.

10 26.

ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC DESIRING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? A HEARING.

NON-PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

WE'LL NOW GO AHEAD AND OPEN A PUB PUBLIC HEARING ON 10 27.

ORDINANCE 10 27.

ANY ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? OKAY, THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED AND THE ADMINISTRATING HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

SO NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE, UM, LAST ORDINANCE.

AND THAT'S ITEM NUMBER OR ORDINANCE NUMBER 10 28.

IT'S NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC HEARING.

ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ORDINANCE NUMBER 10 28 PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR ANY COMMENTS FROM THE COUNCIL? I THINK WE ALL APPRECIATE THE CLEANUP OF, OF THESE, OF, OF ALL OF THESE, UM, DEVELOPMENT CODE ISSUES.

TRULY IS, IS NICE TO GET DONE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
