[E. Other Business:]
NEXT ON THE BUSINESS IS THE UDO UPDATE BY JULIE.>> GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS, AS YOU KNOW, WE KICKED OFF OUR UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE CODE REWRITE.
I GUESS EARLY, BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.
AND IT'S BEEN SLOW GOING. YOU KNOW, THE CONSULTANT FIRST, REALLY TOOK STOCK ON WHERE WE ARE, WHAT THE CURRENT ORDINANCES SAY, BEFORE WE DID A LOT OF STEAK HOLDER INPUT ON THE COMMUNITY INTERACTS, WHAT THEY LIKE, WHAT THEY DON'T LIKE.
AND SO NOW WE'RE AT THE POINT WHERE THEY DELIVERED THE FIRST MODULE. UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN'T TAKE YOU TO THE WEBSITE. IT WAS LINKED ON THE AGENDA, VICTOR UDA.COM. I ASK THAT YOU TAKE TIME --
>> CLICK ON THE AGENDA. I'M LOOKING AT IT RIGHT NOW.
>> IT WAS SENT IN THE PACKET. GO TO VICTORIA UDA.COM.
I ASK YOU ALL DO THAT AT SOME TIME.
CURRENTLY, ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS SO FAR ARE ON THE WEBSITE.
IT WILL HAVE THE STAKEHOLDER INPUT AND THE COMMUNITY SURVEY INPUT RESULTS. THAT DOCUMENT IS ON THE WEBSITE.
YOU COULD REFRESH ON EVERYTHING WE'VE HEARD.
WE HAVE PROVIDED AN UPDATE ON THAT.
YOU REMEMBER OUR JOINT MEETINGS, WHERE WE TALK ABOUT, WHAT WE LIKE, WHAT WE DON'T LIKE. SO WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW IN THE NEXT STEPS, THE FIRST MODULE HAS BEEN DELIVERED.
HAVE YOU SENT THAT OUT, YET, CELESTE? ALL OF YOU SHOULD HAVE IT IN THE INBOX.
THE COMMISSION IS MADE OUT OF THREE COMMISSIONERS AND THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS. WE HAD A NICE TWO HOUR MEETING GOING OVER THE FIRST MODULE. IF YOU OPEN THE MODULE, YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF COMMENTS. IF YOU DON'T MIND, TAKE YOUR TIME READING THROUGH IT. CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT TO IMPACT WITH THE MODULE. IT'S VERY INDEPTH.
THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS STILL OUT THERE, AS YOU COULD SEE FROM THE COMMENTS THAT THE COMMITTEE HAD IN THE DOCUMENT.
RIGHT NOW WE'RE MEETING WITH FREEZE AND NICKELS ON MONDAY, TO GO OVER THE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS ON THE COMMENTS IN THE BIGGER ITEMS. WE HAD SOME CLEAR IDEAS, THE DIRECTION WE WANT TO GO. YOU WILL SEE IT BASICALLY ON THE COMMENTS, OFF THE DOCUMENT. REFINE WHAT WE NEED MORE INPUT ON AND FOR A SPECIAL MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 9TH.
SOME OF THE BIG THINGS I WANT YOU ALL TO THINK ABOUT AND REALLY GETTING BACK WITH ME, FEEDBACK ON IS THE CONCEPT IN THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND HOW FAR WE WANT TO TAKE HISTORIC PRESERVATION RULES AND ALSO THE CONCEPT OF A NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION OF A RELAY DISTRICT, THAT WILL BE A PETITION BASED OVERLAY, WHERE THEY WILL CREATE A NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION DISTRICT THAT WOULD PROHIBIT ANY COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT INTO THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND SO BOTH OF CONCEPTS WE CAN TAKE A VERY FAR, BE VERY RESTRICTIVE. WE DON'T HAVE TO ADOPT IT AT ALL OR BABY STEP INTO REGULATING DISTRICTS IN A WAY WE NEVER REGULATED DISTRICTS BEFORE. SO WE HAVE SOME HOMEWORK.
PLEASE READ THROUGH THE MODULE. GET IN CONTACT WITH ME, IF YOU
[00:10:04]
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS OR COMMENTS.AND I WOULD INVITE YOU TO ATTEND THE DECEMBER 9TH, SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING. ONCE WE HAVE GOTTEN COUNCIL'S INPUT ON SOME OF THOSE BIG CHANGES IN THE FIRST MODULE, WE WILL HAVE EITHER AT A REGULAR MEETING, WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER REREPORT WHILE I ACTUALLY GO THROUGH THE MODULE AND IT WILL BE A LOT MORE LONGER AND INDEPTH THAN WHAT WE'RE USED TO SO EVERYONE IN THE COMMISSION IS VERY FAMILIAR AND VERY COMFORTABLE BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NEXT MODULE.
AT THE END OF MODULE CREATION, WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING FOR PLANNING COMMISSION TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL.
THIS FIRST PART IS REALLY HOMEWORK BUT IN THE FUTURE IN JANUARY, FEBRUARY MEETING I WILL GO IN DEPTH WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION. THAT'S INDEPTH WITH UDO.
YOU HAVE HOMEWORK. PLEASE READ THROUGH THE MODULE THAT WAS SENT OUT. THERE'S A LOT OF COMMENTS IN THERE. IF YOU, KIND OF AGREE WITH THE COMMENTS, THEN DON'T WORRY. WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK THOSE, WITH CITY COUNCIL AND IF YOU HAVE OPINION THAT IS VASTLY DIFFERENT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
WE WANT TO HEAR ALL SIDES, WHAT EVERYBODY THINKS OF IT.
YES? >> WHERE DO YOU SEE THE COMMENT? I'M HERE TO MEET THE TEAM AND DOCUMENTS.
>> THE MODULE IS E-MAIL TO YOU AND IS NOT ACTUALLY POSTED TO THE WEBSITE YET BECAUSE IT'S STILL A WORKING DOCUMENT.
IT'S IN DRAFT FORMAT. >> SO THE ONLY THING THAT'S IN THE ACTUAL WEBSITE, STAKEHOLDER INPUT AND ALL THE WORK THAT'S DONE AT THIS POINT. UP UNTIL THEY DELIVER THE FIRST MODULE. THE MODULE IS A ROUGH DRAFT AT THIS POINT. ONCE WHICH GET IT FURTHER INTO FORMAT, WE WILL HAVE A DRAFT, FOR THE PUBLIC TO GIVE PUBLIC
INPUT. >> I WANT TO SAY, YOUR TEAM IS DOING A HECK OF A JOB. IT'S A LARGE DOCUMENT, A LOT TO LOOK AT. IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD PRODUCT AT THE END. IT'S GOING TO BE HELPFUL TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, TO HOPEFULLY, VICTORIA I APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK THAT YOUR TEAM IS DOING.
