AND, AND, UH, I THINK THAT'S REAL IMPORTANT TO GIVE THE PUBLIC THE OPTIONS, ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDST OF THIS PANDEMIC.

SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT ENOUGH THAT WE BRING THAT TOPIC BACK UP ON.

THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO SAY RIGHT NOW.

UH, AND SO JUST MAYBE ANTICIPATE AT OUR NEXT MEETING, I MIGHT REQUEST OR MIGHT ASK IF WE COULD BRING IT BACK UP AS A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

[00:15:02]

I HAVE LOOKED AT THE SCREEN, I'M GOING TO MOVE

[E.COMMITTEE REPORTS & WORKING GROUPS]

I'M GOING TO RECOGNIZE A CHAIR, BUT I HAD A RAMIREZ FOR REPORT.

SURE.

SO WE, UM, SPOKE ABOUT A REVISION TO THE CODE THAT PERTAINS TO THE URBAN TRAIL OR A CONSTRUCTION OF URBAN TRAILS.

AND CURRENTLY THE CODE STATES THAT YOU'RE ONLY PERMITTED FOUR FEET OF CUTTER FILL.

AND IT ALLOWS FOR THE PURPOSES OF URBAN TRAILS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A, UM, A TRANSPORTATION GOOD, OR A SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY.

UM, THEY'RE ABLE TO GO UP TO EIGHT FEET OR CUT OF CUT OR FILL IF THEY MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA.

SO, UM, WITH ENVIRONMENTAL, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS ENVIRONMENTAL, UM, STAFF THERE, THE MEETING, AND WE DISCUSSED SOME OF OUR CONCERNS AND, UM, WE DID APPROVE, UM, THOSE CHANGES TO THE, TO THE CODE.

THE NEXT STEP IS FOR IT TO GO BACK TO PLANNING COMMISSION AND THEY APPROVE THE CHANGES.

UM, AND THEN WE TALKED ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER CODE AMENDMENTS THAT WE DISCUSSED IN THE PAST AND THIS AND THEIR, UM, WHERE THEY ARE IN THEIR TIMELINE OF APPROVAL.

IT'S QUITE A LENGTHY PROCESS.

UH, SO WE ARE GOING TO GET AN UPDATE ON THAT AT OUR NEXT MEETING ON THE, ON THE ORDINANCES THAT ARE, UM, THE REVISIONS TO THE CODE THAT ARE, THAT ARE UNDER AND THE APPROVAL PROCESS.

AND I THINK I CAN INTERJECT, WE ELECTED A CHAIR OF THE CODES AND ORDINANCES SUBCOMMITTEE, UH, COMMISSIONER BERRERA RAMIREZ IS NOW ALSO THE CHAIR OF CODES AND ORDINANCES.

UH, SHE IS, UH, STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE.

UH, IS THERE ANY, UM, REPORT FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN JOINT COMMITTEE? ALL RIGHT.

ANY REPORT FROM THE SMALL AREA PLANNING JOINT COMMITTEE? UH, THERE THERE'S NO REPORT, BUT I HAVE ASKED, UH, TO SEE IF THE STATESMAN PLAN, UH, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PROJECT WILL COME TO THE SMALL AREA PLANNING JOINT COMMITTEE THROUGH, UH, VIA THE WATERFRONT OVERLAY BECAUSE IT IS IN THE WATERFRONT OVERLAY.

AND, AND SO I'M STILL WAITING FOR STAFF TO GET BACK TO NOT JUST ASK THEM THIS AFTERNOON, SO THEY HAVEN'T HAD TIME.

UH, BUT I, I WILL GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THAT.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK IS IMPORTANT THAT WE DO IS, UH, I REALLY APPRECIATE THESE JOINT COMMITTEES THAT WE WORK ON WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THE, AND, UH, AND, UH, THE ZONING AND PLANNING COMMISSION, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THEY GET BOTH LAND USE COMMISSIONS, THE OPPORTUNITY TO, YOU KNOW, TO LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR, YOU KNOW, SMALLER AREA PLANS AND ALSO WITH OUR CODES TO OUR, UH, LAND LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

SO THAT'S REALLY VERY IMPORTANT.

SO I APPRECIATE THE UPDATES AND, AND, AND I UNDERSTAND THERE MAY BE SOME OTHER UPDATES, UH, COMING THROUGH MAYBE FOR VMU OR SOMEONE THAT I DON'T WANT TO GET OFF TOPIC HERE, BUT WHILE WE'RE ON THE CODES AND ORDINANCE, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I REALLY APPRECIATE THOSE UPDATES.

AND MAYBE SOMETIMES ZONING AND PLANNING MIGHT WANT TO ALSO CHIME IN BASED ON INPUT THAT WE RECEIVED FROM CO-TENANCY CODES AND ORDINANCES ARE OUR MEMBERS OWN CODES AND ORDINANCES, AND CONGRATULATIONS CHAIR, BARRERA RAMIREZ ON YOUR, ON YOUR NEW CHAIR.

CHAIRPERSONSHIP AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

THANK YOU.

RIGHT.

MOVING ON.

IS THERE ANY REPORT FROM THE ONION CREEK AND LOCALIZED FLOODING WORKING FOR IT? NO.

BRIGHT.

IT'S A CHAIR.

THIS IS A COMMISSIONER KING AGAIN, AND, UH, THE, UH, I DO PLAN TO SEND SOME INFORMATION TO OUR WORKING GROUP I'M ON THAT WORK GROUP.

SO I WILL BE SENDING SOME INFORMATION, UH, JUST BACKGROUND INFORMATION.

SO I ANTICIPATE THAT MAYBE WE MIGHT GET A WORKING GROUP MEETING SET UP HERE OVER THE NEXT MAYBE MONTH OR SO.

HOPEFULLY WE CAN, BECAUSE WE, WE HAVEN'T REALLY TOUCHED BASE ON THAT IN A WHILE.

SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE GET BACK ON THAT, UH, AND, UM, AND THEN MAY BRING SOME RECOMMENDATIONS BACK TO THE FULL COMMISSION POTENTIALLY.

THANK YOU.

NO, RIGHT.

WELL, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I THINK WE CAN ADJOURN THE MEETING AT 6 0 6 22, UH, NEW WORLD'S RECORD.

UM, AND THANK YOU FOR MATE TO ME FOR MAKING THAT HAPPEN.

THAT'S A JOKE.

Y'ALL ALL RIGHT.
