Oh

A
As
either
so
thank
you
very
much
so
we
will
move
to
agenda
item
five.
The
public
hearing
5.1
our
first
Firearms
regulation,
ordinance
zoning
text,
Amendment
first
we'll
have
a
staff
presentation.
Then
questions
by
the
EPC,
followed
by
public
comment
at
the
closure
of
public
comment.
The
commission
will
then
deliberate
and
take
action.
The
staff
presentation
will
be
given
by
Diana
fazelli
assistant,
City
attorney.
C
D
All
right
welcome
back
everybody,
so
I
have
a
two
quick
questions
for
the
amendment
language
itself.
I
thought
I
had
read
somewhere
where
there
was
like
a
distance
that
was
being
discussed
in
terms
of
how
far
away
these
locations
would
be
from
public
schools
and
I
wanted
to
confirm.
Was
it
250
feet
away
from
schools.
C
C
D
So
my
follow-up
to
then
to
that
then
is
I
would
like
to
see
it.
I
know
City
council's
perspective
on
this
is
250,
but
I
like
that
to
be
500.
I,
bring
that
up
for
the
epc's
consideration,
simply
because
I'd
rather
err
on
the
side
of
caution.
If
it
were
up
to
me,
it
would
be
a
little
bit
more
if
we're
not
able
to
do
that.
D
E
You,
madam
chair
I,
just
want
to
emphasize
that
that
250
foot
limit
is
in
an
ordinance
that
is
not
before
the
the
EPC
it's.
It
hasn't
been
agendized
for
discussion
tonight,
and
it
is
going
immediately
to
city
council
if
members
of
the
public,
including
members
of
the
EPC,
are
interested
in
commenting
on
that.
They
can
comment
directly
to
the
city
council.
A
C
So
firearm
Federal
firearm
dealers,
part
of
their
license,
is
that
they
can
be
the
middleman
between
purchases.
So
if
someone
purchases
a
firearm
from
someone
else
or
from
the
internet,
there
is
a
requirement
that
it
goes
to
it
filters
through
a
firearm
dealer
and
they
hold
it
during
that
waiting
period.
Where
there's
a
background
check
done
and
all
the
other
regulatory
requirements
are
met,
so
they
hold
it
and
then
transfer
it
to
the
person
who's
purchasing
that
firearm.
So
that's
that's
intended.
That's
what
the
transfer
is
intended
to
include.
F
G
C
H
B
C
I
C
Yeah
for
context,
EPC
is
only
seeing
a
small
piece
of
it.
The
bigger
framework
is
going
to
council
and
that's
a
bigger
piece
and
so
I
think
it
it
took
that
took
time
and
then
also
just
the
workload
you
know
and
priority
setting
with
Council,
so
I
think
it.
There
was
it's
a
bigger
project
than
it
may
look
like
in
front
of
people.
J
If
you
could
unpack-
and
this
is
more
for
I-
think
for
the
Public's
understanding
what
bailment
is
and
isn't
because
there's
some
some
activities
that
kind
of
fall
under
Gunsmithing
that
it
sounds
like
may
not
be
covered
by
this
and
I.
Think
it's
just
good
to
get
that
out
there.
So
everybody
knows
what
this
does
and
does
not
cover.
C
Purposes
of
this
ordinance,
commercial,
bailment
specific,
is
intended
to
only
capture
and
essentially
someone
storing
or
warehousing
the
Firearms
or
ammunition
so
holding
it
for
another
person
or
another
entity,
or
even
for
a
person
themselves
like
storing
Firearms
or
ammunition
for
their
own
business
in
their
homes.
It
does
not
include-
or
it's
not
intended
to
include
the
assembly,
repair
or
maintenance
of
firearms.
You
know
those
typical
Gunsmithing
activities,
so
that
is
not
included
in
this
definition.
A
C
Yeah
I
think.
Yes,
we
sent
emails
to
all
of
firearm
dealers
within
the
city
that
have
current
business
licenses,
including
those
who
are
currently
operated
within
their
homes,
they're
in
the
I
believe
in
the
study
report
or
one
of
the
study
session
reports.
We
put
that
there's
five
one
of
them
has
since
gone
out
of
business.
So
there's
really
four
currently
operating
firearm
dealers
within
the
city.
C
So
this
this
would
preclude
the
commercial
storage
of
firearms
within
someone's
home,
so
somebody
being
paid
to
store
Firearms
within
their
home
or
or
it
could
be,
someone
who
owns
the
home
but
they're
also
storing
their
the
firearms
that
they
have
for
a
business
in
their
home.
So
that's
what
would
be
precluded
by
the
language.
Okay,
thank
you.
A
B
A
G
K
As
mentioned
in
the
staff
report
earlier
this
year
in
June
city
council
adopted
their
two-year
work
plan
from
for
fiscal
year,
2023
to
2025
and
environmental
Planning
Commission
is
an
advisory
body
to
the
city.
Council
will
be
reviewing
their
work
plan.
There
will
be
then
reviewed
and
sent
to
city
council
for
their
review
as
well.
K
K
G
H
K
So
I'll
use
an
example
to
answer
that
question.
Moffat
precise
plan
is
one
of
the
items
which
have
been
coming
out
of
the
housing
element
and
there
will
be
several
key
Milestones
as
part
of
that
project.
Outreach
and
the
study
sessions
will
happen
in
2023
and
2024
and
we
are
anticipating
that
the
adoption
will
actually
happen
in
2025.,
so
we
are
still
showing
some
of
those
items,
and
you
know
it
will
be
coming
back
to
the
EPC
for
review
and
discussion
as
part
of
the
study
sessions.
G
Couple
of
items
that
were
due
in
the
end
of
2024,
including
1.1,
those
ordinance
updates
to
be
consistent
with
state
laws,
elimination
of
minimum
parking
standards
for
residential
Transit
oriented,
not
affordable,
housing
developments
and
religious
community
assembly
sites
are
scheduled
to
be
completed
by
the
end
of
2024.
By
not
having
those
included
in
here
which
implied
to
me
that
staff
doesn't
believe
that
any
action
will
be
required
on
those
items
in
order
to
accomplish
them
by
the
end
of
2024..
K
Thank
you
for
that.
The
question
we
do
have
included
a
line
item
under
bullet
point
D,
where
we're
talking
about
a
minor
cleanup,
Amendments
of
codes
and
precise
plan
for
the
housing
element
implementation,
because
there
are
so
many
items
underneath
that
one
particular
you
know
housing
element
topic
itself,
that's
why
we
have
not
listed
them
out
individually
and
because
the
time
frame
kind
of
you
know
they
have
different
timelines
as
well.
That's
why
it's
noted
as
as
needed.
G
G
L
Good
thanks,
thank
you,
commissioner
Cranston
Eric,
Anderson
Advanced
planning
manager,
so
the
intent
of
the
word
minor
there
is
to
take
into
account
actions
for
which
the
council
is
not
making
significant
policy
decisions.
So
those
are
you
know
either
they
may
not
be
minor
like
there
may
be
state
law
that
we
need
to
implement.
That
may
not
be
minor,
but
because
the
council
isn't
making
it
doesn't,
have
significant
policy
discretion.
L
It's
usually
brought
forward
as
a
minor
code
Amendment
with
limited
Council
discussion
or
discretion
similar
with
the
housing
element
items.
The
the
decision
has
been
made
and
has
been
adopted
in
the
housing
element
to
make
those
take
those
actions,
and
so
that's
why
they're
considered
minor
at
this
point,
thanks.
F
H
G
L
Turns
on
for
me,
automatically
I'm
not
used
to
that.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
commissioner
Nieves.
So
there
is
some
Flex
in
those
dates.
However,
for
R3
in
particular,
we
are.
This
goes
back
to
the
housing
element.
There
are
a
lot
of
housing
element,
implementation
items
that
are
most
effectively
and
efficiently
achieved
through
the
R3
project
or
in
tandem
with
the
R3
project,
and
many
of
those
have
a
deadline
of
the
end
of
2025.
I
Eric,
you
might
be
popping
up
again,
but
no
sorry
I'm
just
trying
to
understand,
because
my
question
was
also
around
aligning
with
a
housing
element
and
R3.
So
it
sounds
like
what
you're
saying
is.
These
are
the
things
concretely
that
staff
are
working
on
in
the
next
12
months.
Concurrently,
there
will
be
actions
that
will
be
taken
by
staff,
but
you're,
anticipating
the
end.
Completion
date
that
would
show
up
on
a
work
plan
should
be
in
2025.
I
Is
that
like,
depending
on
like
I,
don't
know
I'm
looking
at
the
older
version
of
the
work
plan,
but
like
some
of
these
things
go
into
Q
Q2,
Q3
2025.?
So
is
that
what
you're
saying
like
there's
work?
That's
happening.
It's
not
listed
on
the
work
plan.
We
anticipate
the
completion
dates
to
be
in
fy25
for.
L
I
L
So
I
mean
for,
for
example,
R3,
there's,
there's
a
whole
program,
I
think
it's
1.3
or
1.4,
that's
related
to
updating,
multi-family
development
standards,
and
so
we
are
going
to
be
working
on
that
in
tandem
with
the
R3
project.
You
know
this
is
something
that
we
have
to
bring
forward
to
council,
to
confirm
you
know
kind
of
a
rescope
for
R3
and
we're
going
to
be
doing
that
in
the
next
few
months,
but
it's
certainly
most
efficient.
While
we're
developing.
L
J
A
Any
other
questions
I
had
one
quick
question
and
I
think
in
a
discussion
earlier
with
Dana
I
had
asked
about
the
downtown
and
some
other
plans
that
are
running
in
tandem
with
these
I.
Don't
know
if
you
wouldn't
mind
just
listing
some
of
those
other
projects
and
I,
don't
know
if
some
of
them
may
come
to
the
EPC.
I
know
they're
not
listed
here,
but
you
you'll
have
some
more
background
on
that.
Yeah.
K
Thank
you
for
the
question,
so
we
have
a
couple
of
City
projects
going
on
specifically
around
downtown.
The
transit
center
plan
is
one
of
them.
Downtown,
precise,
Plan,
update
phase
two
and
one
for
Precise
Land
on
the
other
side
of
Transit
Center
is
the
other
one.
Then
we
also
have
the
economic
Vitality
strategy,
which
is
going
on
which
will
have
a
component
of
downtown
Israel.
K
Although
it's
a
city-wide
strategy,
and
then
we
also
have
our
bed
Mall
implementation,
which
was
recently
adopted
so
that
is
going
to
these
are
some
of
the
projects
which
we
will
be
looking
at
simultaneously
and
also
coordinating
with
other
departments
and
divisions.
When
we'll
be
preparing
some
of
our
work
plan
and
working
on
our
plan
items.
A
B
G
Just
another
question
and
and
I
don't
know
the
timeline
for
the
parks
and
rec
strategy
plan,
I
kind
of
assumed
that
there
would
end
up
being
land
use
implications
to
that
it
wasn't
mentioned
in
the
kind
of
the
last
section
where
it
talks
about
these,
you
know
will
come
out
to
us
at
some
point.
Does
the
Parks
and
Rec
plan
go
out
to
a
point
that
it'd
be?
It
would
be
unlikely
that
anything
land
use
would
come
to
us
in
the
next
12
months.
K
A
If
there
are
no
other
questions,
then
we'll
move
to
public
comment.
If
anyone
in
attendance
would
like
to
provide
comments
on
this
item,
please
fill
out
a
yellow
speaker
card
and
provide
us
to
the
EPC
clerk.
If
anyone

I
Commissioner,
haymeier
I
guess
I
would
just
say,
because
I
am
trimming
out
very
soon,
but
as
this
work
plan
evolves,
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
for
the
commission
to
have
periodic
updates
of
what
we've
said
in
the
housing
element
and
what
we've
said
in
our
work
plan,
so
that
we're
just
keeping
abreast
of
some
of
these
things
that
have
longer
time.
Horizons.
A
H
G
G
E
Might
say
minor
or
cleanup
items,
so
we
know
for
certain.
There
is
a
cleanup
ordinance
coming
forward
in
the
next
few
months
to
EPC
and
then
to
council
and
some
address
state
law.
Some
items
will
address
state
law.
Some
you
will
actually
consider
them
to
be
minor,
so
yeah
minor,
doesn't
I.
Think
you
can
say
clean.
You
can
consider
that
to
mean
clean
up
or
minor
and
and
many
items
will
happen.
B
B
A
B
G
J
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Everyone
that
concludes
our
new
business
and
we
will
move
to
agenda
item
seven,
commission
staff,
announcements,
updates,
requests
and
committee
reports.
No
action
will
be
taken
at
this
time
by
the
yeah.
No
action
will
be
taken
at
this
time.
Does
anyone
have
any
announcements?
I
want
to
go
first,
Mr
Gutierrez
here
we.
D
K
Okay,
so
I
have
just
few
announcements
and
some
reminders
as
well
so
cities,
Parks
and
Recreation
strategic
plan.
As
part
of
that
we're
going
to
be
conducting
four
Community
meetings
on
August,
21st
and
22nd.
Some
of
the
meetings
are
going
to
be
in
person
and
some
of
them
are
going
to
be
virtual,
so
advisory
body
members
are
invited
to
participate
in
that
and
in
order
to
avoid
any
kind
of
brown
act
violation.
K
G
K
A
couple
add
another,
the
other
one
is
we're
going
to
have
our
annual
celebration
of
service
on
September
19th
at
the
community
center.
So
just
a
reminder
about
that
yeah
and
then
I
think
as
part
of
one
of
our
meetings
with
EPC
chair,
there
was
a
request
to
provide
an
update
on
the
transit
center
master
plan,
where
the
project
is.
What
are
we
doing
so?
K
and
staff
will
bring
occasional
updates
as
and
when
we,
you
know,
make
more
progress
with
the
project,
the
design
and
the
implementation
of
it.
We
do
have
a
dedicated
web
page
on
our
website
for
the
particular
project
itself,
which
has
all
the
updates
and
more
recent
design
renderings
in
design
related
information
as
well.

That's
correct
because
till
the
project
is
an
informal
application.
We
do
not
publish
that
information
because
that's
still
in
flux
and
it's
still
being
figured
out
once
the
project
has
a
formal
application
has
been
submitted.
At
that
point
of
time,
it
will
be
added
to
the
development
project
update
we're
still
waiting
for
that.
