As you may recall, after receiving testimony, I mean after receiving the Department’s presentation, after receiving testimony from the applicant and after receiving testimony from members of the public, the Commission entered into discussion and voted to defer action on this particular application in order to allow the staff to prepare findings and proposed conditions of approval in support, and what I mean by support, a favorable recommendation on the Change of Zone application. The Planning Director’s original unfavorable recommendation is contained on your goldenrod, and I should note that the Planning Director’s unfavorable recommendation has not changed; it is still presented before you. And as directed by you, your staff has prepared findings and proposed conditions in support of the Change of Zone application, and that is contained on just the bright yellow sheets that were distributed to all of you. I should note that the recommendation was crafted by your staff based on information presented by the applicant and discussions held by the Commissioners and incorporated within these draft findings for your consideration. Since your meeting last month we have not received any additional correspondence or documentation or information; so I believe aside from the draft favorable recommendation that you have before you, we have nothing else to offer for the Commission’s consideration at this time. So with that, I stand ready to answer any questions. But before we get into discussion, we do have a suggestion, or recommendation; because all of the discussions that occurred at your last meeting have been incorporated in the draft findings, we think it would be prudent for you to approve the minutes in order to confirm the information and discussion that occurred, and then once approved, then we can be assured that the information is applicable to the draft findings. So you have to take it out of order, the approval of the minutes I should say. BEAUDET: Okay. Commissioners, I’d like to ask for a motion for approval of minutes of June 18 meeting. th CHURCH: I move that the minutes of the 18 of June meeting, 2015, be approved. NOBRIGA: I second. BEAUDET: All those in favor? COMMISSIONERS: Aye \[unanimously\]. BEAUDET: Daryn, just for the record, absent from the June 18 meeting was Commissioner Nobriga, but she has confirmed that she has reviewed the notes and the minutes of this application. ARAI: Thank you very much. CHURCH: Mr. Chairman, I would like to withdraw my motion. BEAUDET: Yeah, we can do that, but we’ll go through the process first --. CHURCH: Okay, very good. 2 EXHIBIT D
