          BEFORE, BUT I GUESS I JUST SAY I OPEN MEETING AT THE TIME. YEAH. 504 OKAY. SO. OKAY, SO I 
          [Call To Order]
OPENED THE STUDY SESSION AT 504. SHOULD BE A PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. ALRIGHTY. SO WE CAN START. 
          [Public Hearing Calendar (Quasi-Judicial)]
HELLO. PLANNING COMMISSION. I'LL BE PRESENTING THIS STUDY SESSION ITEM FOR THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION STUDY SESSION. SO JUST TO START, JUST TO GIVE A BIT OF BACKGROUND, THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED. 
          THEY WERE APPROVED BACK IN SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2020 2023. AND THIS IS REALLY JUST AN INFORMATIONAL STUDY SESSION TO GET THE PLANNING COMMISSION A BIT UP TO SPEED ON THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE SOME PROJECTS IN THE PIPELINE THAT WILL BE NEEDING TO MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS. SO IT JUST AN INFORMATIONAL SESSION. SO AGAIN, CITY APPROVAL DATE OF THESE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS WAS BACK IN SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2023. 
          THE CASE FILE WAS ZOA 2204 ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT FOR THE ADOPTION OF OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS FOR MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO APPLY TO THE BELOW ZONES. SO THESE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS. AND JUST MOVING FORWARD, I'M GOING TO BE SAYING ODSS JUST TO KIND OF MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE STREAMLINED HERE. THE ODDS STANDARDS ARE REQUIRED IN THE GENERAL NEIGHBORHOOD ZONE, THE URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD ZONE, DOWNTOWN PUEBLO VIEJO ZONE, THE DOWNTOWN PUEBLO VIEJO TRANSITION ZONE, THE URBAN EMPLOYMENT ZONE, AND NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL ZONES. FOR MORE BACKGROUND. AGAIN, ON SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2023, THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THESE STANDARDS TO COMPLY WITH STATE LEGISLATION TO ACCELERATE HOUSING PRODUCTION AND REDUCE HOUSING COSTS THROUGH CERTAINTY IN THE ADOPTED ODDS AND A FASTER PERMITTING PROCESS. SO WHAT'S THE NEED FOR THESE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS? WE WHAT PURPOSE DOES IT SERVE? RIGHT? PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS, THE CITY ONLY HAD DISCRETIONARY ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW PROCESSES AND THE PUEBLO VIEJO DESIGN GUIDELINES TO REVIEW MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATIONS. WHILE THESE GUIDELINES ARE GOOD, THE GUIDELINES WERE AMBIGUOUS AND PROVIDED UNCLEAR RECOMMENDATIONS, AND ALSO INCLUDED SUBJECTIVITY OF GUIDELINES OFTEN RESULT IN PROLONGED REVIEW PROCESSES AND INCONSISTENT INTERPRETATIONS. 
          SO, JUST FOR COMPARISON, THE PUEBLO VIEJO DISTRICT DESIGN GUIDELINES IS 124 PAGE DOCUMENT OF RECOMMENDATIONS, RIGHT? BUT WITH THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS, IT'S A MORE STREAMLINED STANDARDS, RIGHT. IT'S ABOUT A 22 PAGE DOCUMENT FROM THE MUNICIPAL CODE ONLINE. 
          AND IT IS A MORE, MORE OBJECTIVE REQUIREMENTS THAN THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE GUIDELINES. AGAIN, WHAT ARE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS? THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS ARE MORE PREDICTABLE. OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OFFER NO GRAY AREA FOR INTERPRETATION. 
          OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ARE REQUIREMENTS SHALL, AS OPPOSED TO RECOMMENDATIONS LIKE MAY OR SHOULD, AND THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS PROVIDE PREDICTABLE OUTCOMES. 
          BECAUSE PROJECTS ARE REVIEWED WITH OBJECTIVE STANDARDS. AND NOW I'LL GO A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE DETAILS OF THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS. SO HOW ARE THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS STRUCTURED. SO GENERALLY THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS ARE STRUCTURED TO PROVIDE REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICALLY TO THE PUBLIC REALM. SO THAT'S GENERALLY THE SIDEWALK RIGHT. 
          THE SIDEWALK AREA. THERE ARE SPECIFIC STANDARDS FOR THE PUBLIC REALM TRANSITION AREA, WHICH GENERALLY IS THE SIDEWALK AND THE BUILDING. THAT LITTLE MIDDLE PORTION TRANSITIONING BETWEEN BOTH. THERE'S SPECIFIC STANDARDS FOR THAT AREA AND ALSO SPECIFIC STANDARDS FOR THE BUILDING DESIGN ITSELF. AND RIGHT NOW WE'LL FOCUS A LITTLE BIT ON THE PUBLIC REALM STANDARDS. SO THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT STREET TYPES PER THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS. 
          THERE'S STREET TYPE A WHICH ARE GENERALLY NARROWER, NARROWER AND HAVE LOWER TRAFFIC VOLUMES. 
          HERE IS A PICTURE OF SIXTH STREET RIGHT RIGHT OUTSIDE THIS BUILDING. IT'S A NARROW STREET AND THERE IS A STREET TYPE A SPECIFIC GUIDELINES FOR NARROWER STREETS. THERE'S ALSO STREET TYPE B WHICH ARE WIDER AND HAVE HIGHER TRAFFIC VOLUMES. THIS INCLUDES YOUR MAJOR ARTERIALS, PRIMARY ARTERIALS AND COLLECTOR STREETS INCLUDED AS A PICTURE. JUST FOR AN 
          [00:05:01]
EXAMPLE, RIGHT, IS CESAR CHAVEZ STREET, WHICH GENERALLY HAS MORE HIGHER TRAFFIC VOLUMES. 
          AND THEN THERE'S ALSO STREET TYPE C. THERE'S SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS AND STANDARDS FOR PRIVATE STREETS WITH VERY LOW TRAFFIC VOLUMES. I INCLUDED THIS MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT JUST TO GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF THE PRIVATE STREETS WITHIN A LARGE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT LIKE THIS. AND THESE ARE SPECIFIC STANDARDS FOR THE INTERNAL STREETS WITHIN A DEVELOPMENT. 
          AND AGAIN, WE'RE FOCUSING AGAIN ON THE PUBLIC REALM. SO SIMILAR TO THE HIGHLIGHTED AREA THERE, THERE ARE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH STREET TYPE STREET TYPE A, STREET TYPE B, STREET TYPE C. AND HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE IN THE CODE. AND JUST TO BE MORE SPECIFIC, THEY'RE IN THE PUBLIC REALM. THERE IS REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TRANSITION AREA ZONE HIGHLIGHTED IN RED HERE. THERE'S SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SIDEWALK ZONE. SO FOR EXAMPLE IS SIGNAGE SIGNAGE ALLOWED IN THE SIDEWALK ZONE. NO IT WOULD BE PROHIBITED RIGHT. THESE STANDARDS PROVIDE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF IS LANDSCAPE ALLOWED AT WHAT PERCENTAGES IN EACH OF THESE THREE AREAS. SO AGAIN TRANSITION AREA ZONE THERE'S SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS SIDEWALK ZONE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS AND THE PARKWAY ZONE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS. FOR EXAMPLE FOR THE PUBLIC REALM ZONE WITH THE TRANSITION AREA ZONE CAN BE A MINIMUM OF FIVE FEET. THE SIDEWALK ZONE WOULD NEED TO BE SIX FEET, AND THE PARKWAY ZONE WOULD BE FOUR FEET. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW THESE STANDARDS ARE BROKEN UP. AND SAME THING WITH LANDSCAPING IN THE TRANSITION AREA ZONE. MINIMUM AREA OF 20% OF LANDSCAPING IS REQUIRED. AND THE SIDEWALK ZONE AGAIN, IT'S FOR SIDEWALKS, SO NO LANDSCAPING IS ALLOWED. AND FOR THE PARKWAY ZONE 20% MINIMUM AREA, IT'S REALLY TO PROVIDE THESE OBJECTIVE STANDARDS TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN A DEVELOPMENT DOES COME IN, THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEIR REQUIREMENTS ARE FOR EACH OF THESE SPECIFIC AREAS IN THE SIDEWALK AREA. AND NOW WE CAN MOVE FORWARD TO THE PUBLIC REALM TRANSITION STANDARDS. AND AGAIN, IT'S THAT MIDDLE AREA BETWEEN THE SIDEWALK ZONE, GENERALLY THE PUBLIC REALM ZONE AND THE BUILDING THAT SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR THAT CENTER AREA THERE. SO FOR RESIDENTIAL, THERE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR FIRST FLOOR RESIDENTIAL. SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO IF A DEVELOPER IS LOOKING TO PROPOSE RESIDENTIAL ON THE FIRST FLOOR, THEY WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE SOME SORT OF SETBACK SIMILAR TO THE IMAGE HERE WHERE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE WALKING SOME THE PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC ARE WALKING IN THE STREET, THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO JUST PEEK INTO SOMEBODY'S WINDOW. RIGHT NOW, SETBACK IS REQUIRED TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS PRIVACY BETWEEN THE SIDEWALK AND THE FIRST FLOOR RESIDENTIAL. 
          SO THIS IS ONE OPTION, RIGHT? THEY COULD PROVIDE A SETBACK. ANOTHER OPTION IS THAT THEY PROVIDE A FIRST FLOOR ABOVE GRADE TO HAVE THE FINISHED FIRST FLOOR BE ABOVE GRADE. SO 30IN TO 48IN ABOVE GRADE. AND SIMILAR TO THE PICTURE HERE OF THE WOMAN WALKING HER DOG, IT'S TO ENSURE THAT AGAIN, PEOPLE WALKING BY AREN'T PEEKING INTO THE WINDOWS AND TO ENSURE PRIVACY. SO THESE ARE TWO OPTIONS FOR ANY DEVELOPER LOOKING TO DO FIRST FLOOR RESIDENTIAL TO HAVE THAT SETBACK OR ABOVE FINISHED GRADE. AND FOR COMMERCIAL, IT IS INTENDED TO BE ADJACENT TO THE PUBLIC REALM. SIMILAR TO THE PICTURE, IT IS IMPORTANT FOR COMMERCIAL TO HAVE THAT STREET SCENE RIGHT TO BE RIGHT ADJACENT TO THE SIDEWALK SO CUSTOMERS CAN COME IN AND OUT. SO THIS WOULD BE THE STANDARD REQUIREMENT FOR COMMERCIAL. AND AGAIN, WE'RE FOCUSING ON THAT MIDDLE AREA THERE FOR THE PUBLIC REALM TRANSITION. SO SOME OF THESE ITEMS ARE GOING TO BE PER THE MIDDLE AREA HERE LIKE BALCONIES UTILITIES IS STEP STOOPS OR TERRACES ALLOWED. THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS GIVE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS ON ALL THESE ITEMS. IS PARKING GARAGES ALLOWED? IT'LL GIVE A SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT ON THAT OF THAT TRANSITION AREA. NOW TO CONTINUE INTO THE DESIGN STANDARDS FOR THE ACTUAL BUILDING. SO THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR DESIGN STANDARDS FOR BUILDING. THERE'S OPTION ONE WHICH APPLIES TO GENERAL NEIGHBORHOOD, URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD AND URBAN EMPLOYMENT ZONES. THERE'S OPTION TWO WHICH APPLIES TO GENERAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND DOWNTOWN PUEBLO VIEJO TRANSITION ZONES. AND THEN THERE'S OPTION THREE, WHICH APPLIES TO ALL MULTI-FAMILY AND MIXED USE ZONES. FOR EXAMPLE, I'M IN THE LET'S SAY A DEVELOPER IS IN THE URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD ZONE AND IS LOOKING TO DEVELOP A PROJECT. 
          WELL, THEY HAVE OPTION ONE URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD ZONE OR OPTION THREE, WHICH APPLIES TO ALL MULTIFAMILY ZONES. SO IT'S REALLY UP TO THE DEVELOPER WHAT STANDARDS THEY WANT TO MEET. 1 OR 3, RIGHT. OPTION TWO WOULDN'T APPLY FOR SOMEBODY IN THE URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD ZONE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT IN THAT ZONE. RIGHT. BUT THERE IS, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE THE DOWNTOWN ZONE, 
          [00:10:04]
WHICH DOESN'T MEET EITHER OPTION ONE OR OPTION TWO. SO IF SOMEBODY DEVELOPER IS LOOKING TO DEVELOP IN THE DOWNTOWN, THEY WOULD HAVE TO MEET OPTION THREE. SO THESE ARE AGAIN DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR DEVELOPERS TO BUILD AND HOW THEY WANT TO BUILD. AND I'LL BE GOING INTO EACH OF THESE OPTIONS HAVE THEIR OWN SPECIFIC STANDARDS THAT WILL PROVIDE SPECIFIC STANDARDS ON THE ROOF TYPES COLOR TYPES. BUT I'LL JUST BE FOCUSING ON OPTION THREE TO STREAMLINE THE PRESENTATION A LITTLE BIT. SO FOR OPTION THREE, WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR VERTICAL MODULATION? THERE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR VARIATION OF 2 TO 4 BUILDING HEIGHTS, WHICH ARE POSSIBLE. SO IT WOULDN'T ALLOW JUST ONE BUILDING HEIGHT. 
          IT WOULD NEED TO BE 2 TO 4. THE ARRANGEMENT. THE PRIMARY FACADE SHALL NOT COMPRISE MORE THAN 80% OF THE TOTAL FACADE AREA. SO IN THE EXAMPLE IMAGE HERE YOU HAVE THE HIGHER HEIGHT AND THEN THE LOWER HEIGHT. AND REALLY THIS REQUIREMENT TO HAVE DIFFERENT ROOF HEIGHTS IS TO ENSURE THAT IT ISN'T JUST ONE MASSIVE SQUARE BUILDING, RIGHT? IT'S TO PROVIDE A DESIGN INTEREST AND VISUAL INTEREST FOR PEOPLE PASSING BY AND TO MAKE SURE THE THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING IS A HIGH QUALITY DESIGN. SO IT'S REALLY TO AVOID JUST A BIG BLOCK BUILDING, BUT TO PROVIDE DIFFERENT ROOF HEIGHTS FOR HORIZONTAL MODULATION. THERE IS SPECIFIC STANDARDS FOR THAT. FOR A VARIATION, 20% OF THE TOTAL FACADE AREA SHALL BE RECESSED OR PROJECTED FROM THE PRIMARY FACADE, AND THERE IS A WIDTH AND DEPTH STANDARD FOR THAT. SO IN THE EXAMPLE IMAGE HERE, I HIGHLIGHTED WITH THE RED ARROWS THOSE BLUE AREAS, IF YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE RECESSED INTO THE BUILDING. AND AGAIN IT'S TO AVOID JUST ONE BIG SQUARE RIGHT. 
          IT'S TO PROVIDE A DESIGN INTEREST WHERE IT IS BEING RECESSED INTO THE BUILDING TO CONTINUE ON FOR ROOF FORMS. THERE IS STANDARDS FOR THE ROOF TYPES. SO ALL ROOFS SHALL BE FLAT FOR THIS. OPTION THREE IT DOES ALLOW FOR ACCENT ROOF FORMS. RAISED, ANGLED OR LOWERED ROOFS SHALL BE LIMITED TO LOBBIES AND STAIRS, AND PROHIBITED ROOF TYPES ARE HIPPED GABLE AND MANSARD ROOF FORMS TO CONTINUE ON. WHAT ARE THE FACADE COLORS THAT MAY BE ALLOWED? IF A DEVELOPER IS LOOKING TO BUILD AGAIN IN OPTION THREE, SO A DEVELOPER CAN HAVE THE WHOLE FACADE, THE WHOLE BUILDING TO BE PAINTED A SINGLE COLOR, THAT IS POSSIBLE, BUT THE APPLICANT ALSO HAS OPTIONS, RIGHT? THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY COLORS FACADE SHALL BE A MAXIMUM OF FOUR PAINT COLORS. SO SOMETHING LIKE THIS BUILDING HERE WHERE IT HAS A GREEN, ORANGE AND WHITE TONES. IT HAS DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT IT COULD DO A MAXIMUM OF FOUR. 
          OR AGAIN THEY COULD LIMIT IT TO ONE. IT'S REALLY UP TO THE DEVELOPER AS LONG AS THEY MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS, THE PRIMARY COLOR WOULD NEED TO BE AT LEAST 60% OF THE FACADE. WHITE OR BROWN WOULD BE PERMITTED, AND FOR ANY SECONDARY COLORS THEY CAN BE A MAXIMUM OF 40% OF THE FACADE AREA. SO SECONDARY FACADE COLORS CAN BE REALLY ANY COLOR OF THE FULL COLOR SPECTRUM. AND AGAIN THEY DID ORANGE AND A GREEN HERE THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE. AND TO CONTINUE ON FACADE MATERIALS, FACADES ARE PERMITTED TO BE A SINGLE CLADDING MATERIAL. SO IF THE DEVELOPER WANTS TO DO JUST STUCCO FOR THE ENTIRE BUILDING, THAT IS POSSIBLE. SOME PRIMARY FACADE MATERIAL MATERIALS ARE METAL PANELING, STUCCO, CONCRETE MASONRY BLOCK FOR SECONDARY MATERIALS, SECONDARY MATERIALS THAT ARE PERMITTED ARE DECORATIVE TILES, STONE VENEER, AND METAL PANELS. SO AGAIN, UNDER THESE STANDARDS, IT CAN BE JUST LIKE THIS PICTURE ON THE LEFT WHERE JUST STUCCO THE ENTIRE BUILDING. BUT THEY DO HAVE OPTIONS TO PROVIDE DIFFERENT MATERIAL TYPES LIKE THIS IMAGE WHERE THEY HAVE THIS HORIZONTAL PANELING, AND ALSO AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BUILDING THEY HAVE LIKE A STONE DESIGN. SO THESE ARE THE OPTIONS THE DEVELOPER HAS AND THE DESIGN STANDARDS GIVE THEM THAT FLEXIBILITY OF PROVIDING, AGAIN, ONE OR MANY DIFFERENT FACADE MATERIALS, AS LONG AS IT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS TO CONTINUE ON BALCONIES. FOR THIS OPTION THREE AGAIN, BALCONIES SHALL BE REQUIRED FOR ALL UPPER FLOOR RESIDENTIAL. FOR ARTICULATION, BALCONIES ARE PERMITTED TO BE RECESSED OR PROJECTED FROM THE BUILDING'S PRIMARY FACADE. HERE YOU HAVE DIFFERENT BALCONY TYPES WHERE SOME ARE MORE RECESSED INTO THE BUILDING, BUT SOME ARE POPPING OUT. THOSE OPTIONS ARE POSSIBLE. THEY SHALL HAVE A MINIMUM DEPTH OF SIX FEET AND A MINIMUM AREA OF 60FT■!S, AND SHALL PROVIDE SHAD. 
          AND FOR FENESTRATION. SO THE FENESTRATION STANDARDS IS REQUIREMENT FOR THE CHARACTER 
          [00:15:04]
OF DOORS AND WINDOWS SHALL BE PUNCHED IN TO PROVIDE DEPTH, SHADE AND SHADOW. SO REQUIRED OPENINGS FOR FACADE SHALL BE COMPRISED 50% OF OPENINGS FOR ALL FACADES, FOR WINDOWS AND FOR WINDOWS. NO WINDOWS SHALL BE FLUSH WITH ANY BUILDING FACADE. ALL WINDOW AND DOOR OPENINGS SHALL BE RECESSED A MINIMUM OF TWO INCHES. SO HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF A WINDOW WHERE YOU SEE HOW THERE'S A BIT OF DEPTH TO THAT WINDOW. AND PER THESE REQUIREMENTS CANNOT BE FLUSH WITH THE BUILDING. IT WOULD NEED TO BE RECESSED LIKE THAT EXAMPLE THERE. AND THEN PROJECTION DEPTH, PROJECTING SILLS, LINTELS AND TRIM SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED FOR ANY WINDOW OR DOOR, BUT IF THEY ARE PROVIDED, THEY WOULD NEED TO BE ONE INCH BEYOND THE FACADE. SO AGAIN, THESE DIFFERENT ARTICULATION TYPES AGAIN ARE NOT REQUIRED, BUT THE DEVELOPER MAY WANT TO INCLUDE THEM. RIGHT. AND IT GIVES A REQUIREMENT OR A STANDARD FOR WHAT THE MAXIMUM REQUIREMENT WOULD BE. TO CONTINUE ON FOR RESIDENTIAL ENTRY STANDARDS. SO IF A DEVELOPER IS LOOKING TO DO FIRST FLOOR RESIDENTIAL, THEY WOULD NEED TO INCLUDE UNIVERSAL ACCESS, FRONT DOOR SETBACKS AND A MINIMUM DIMENSION FOR ENTRY, LANDING OR STOOPS. I INCLUDED WITH THE RED ARROW HERE, THEY WOULD NEED TO PROVIDE 40FT■!S FR THAT ENTRANCE FOR FIRST FLOOR RESIDENTIAL. AND TO CONTINUE FOR DESIGN STANDARDS FOR FIRST FLOOR TRANSPARENCY STANDARDS. 
          FIRST FLOOR COMMERCIAL FACADE SHALL BE DESIGNED TO GENERATE PASSIVE SURVEILLANCE EYES ON THE STREET, VISIBILITY BY ENGAGING THE PUBLIC REALM AND PROVIDING TRANSPARENCY BETWEEN THE PUBLIC REALM AND FIRST FLOOR USES. SO FOR OPENINGS, A MINIMUM OF 50% OF THE FIRST FLOOR FACADE SHALL INCLUDE TRANSPARENT GLAZED DOORS AND WINDOW OPENINGS FOR WINDOW AND DOOR SYSTEMS. ALL WINDOWS AND DOOR COMPONENTS, INCLUDING, SHALL COMPRISE AN OPENING AND PROHIBITED GLAZING. NO DARK TINTED OR OPAQUE GLAZING FOR ANY REQUIRED WALL OPENINGS ALONG FIRST FLOOR PUBLIC REALM FACADES IS PERMITTED. SO REALLY, IT'S JUST TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S EYES ON THE STREET AND THAT COMMERCIAL. SO THIS IS A REQUIREMENT ONLY FOR COMMERCIAL USES, RIGHT. IN THE EXAMPLE HERE IT JUST HIGHLIGHTS THE COMMERCIAL USES. AND FOR THAT WHOLE FACADE AREA 50% HAS TO BE WINDOWS TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS VISIBILITY. AND JUST TO FINISH HERE AGAIN, I JUST REALLY WANT TO SUMMARIZE IN GENERAL, THESE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS ARE SEPARATED AGAIN WITH THE PUBLIC REALM, PUBLIC REALM TRANSITION AND BUILDING STANDARDS. AND THEN THAT IS THE END OF MY PRESENTATION. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET US KNOW. 
          AND AGAIN, THIS IS REALLY JUST A STUDY SESSION TO GIVE YOU JUST THE INFORMATION OF OF THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS AND TO GET YOU A BIT UP TO SPEED ON THESE STANDARDS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ADRIAN, I KNOW THAT WE BROUGHT THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE HOUSING ELEMENT AND THE FACT THAT IF IT'S FIVE STOREYS HIGH, THEN THEY MIGHT NOT. SO ALL OF THIS LOOKS GREAT. I ACTUALLY DON'T REALLY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS. I THINK IT'S SOLID. THE ONLY THING BECAUSE I DID READ THE WHOLE CHAPTER. THE ONLY THING THAT I DO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH WOULD BE THE TRASH ENCLOSURES. THEY DON'T CONTAIN A TRELLIS, THEY DON'T HAVE A TRELLIS. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN INTEGRATE INTO OUR CITY TRASH ENCLOSURE STANDARDS, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE HIGH WINDS IN THE VALLEY. IT'S GETTING WORSE. AND THAT PROHIBITS TRASH BLOWING OUT OR PEOPLE GOING IN. THAT'S PROBABLY LIKE ONE OF MY ONLY SUGGESTIONS IN REGARDS TO THE DESIGN STANDARDS. RIGHT. BUT IS THERE A WAY HOW CAN WE IMPLEMENT IF IT'S POSSIBLE? FOR FIVE STORY OR FOUR STORY BUILDINGS? THEY HAVE TO HAVE ELEVATORS, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NOW DEVELOPERS ARE TRYING NOT TO DO, BECAUSE OF COURSE IT'S COSTLY, BUT I'M JUST LOOKING OUT FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND FOR OUR ELDERLY. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE FIVE FLIGHT STAIRS PER THE PER THE BUILDING CODE, ANYTHING OVER THREE STORIES IS REQUIRED TO HAVE AN ELEVATOR. OKAY, SO IT'S NOT THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARD. IT IS THE BUILDING CODE. THE BUILDING CODE. WHAT ABOUT A WASHER AND DRYERS THAT I DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN REQUIRE IT, BUT WE CAN LOOK INTO IT MORE. AND HOW ABOUT LIKE FOR ELDERLY SENIOR APARTMENTS? I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN REQUIRE THAT OF THEM THROUGH THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS, BUT IT CAN BE SOMETHING THAT WE 
          [00:20:03]
DISCUSS WITH THEM DURING THE ENTITLEMENT REVIEW PROCESS AND SAY THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN MADE AS A REQUEST FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS THAT IS CONSIDERED FOR ALL FUTURE MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS MOVING FORWARD. I JUST DON'T KNOW THAT WE CAN REQUIRE THAT. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS LIKE. IS IT POSSIBLE? I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S POSSIBLE. OKAY. AND THEN WE CAN LOOK INTO IMPLEMENTING A NEW STANDARD IN THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS FOR THE TRASH ENCLOSURES. YEAH, I THINK THE TRIAL IS JUST LIKE PULLING IT ALL TOGETHER. IT WOULD BE, WOULD BE NICE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE NO COMMISSIONER. HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD? NO. THANK YOU. I UNDERSTAND THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN MORE. I KNOW WE WERE KIND OF CONFUSED ON IT. A COUPLE MEETINGS BACK, WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WHAT WE CAN DO, WHAT WE CAN'T DO. SO THIS WAS VERY INSIGHTFUL AND VERY HELPFUL. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. YEAH. THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. SO I CLOSE THE STUDY SESSION MEETING AT 525.
