addendum (Environmental Assessment
Review No. 2023-0022)
Council Member Baca pointed out the number of letters sent out to residents between October 2023 and July 2024 and considered if all residents were properly notified in English and Spanish with ample time to respond with concerns.

The City Council needs to take everything in consideration before acting.
0o0
Mayor Robertson stated if the City Council chooses to continue the hearing, it would not be acting on anything tonight.
0o0
Council Member Baca asked if this project would return before the City Council.
0o0
Mayor Robertson stated if the project is continued , it will be continued for discussion to determine if changes or alternatives prior to the November meeting.

The City Council has the option to either vote to not allow the project to move forward or put it in a continuum as Council Member Scott suggested.
0o0
Council Member Baca reiterated that the City Council should consider the environmental impact, noise, impact on community before adding another warehouse and have discussions about alternatives such as commercial, retail or grocery stores that will gain more income and add more permanent jobs. He is willing to collaborate.
0o0
Council Member Trujillo added that for safety purposes, attention needs to focus on the crosswalk to take care of the youngest residents crossing the street.

There is a lot more work needed on the project, and he looks forward to more discussions at the EDC meeting on how to make modifications.

Traffic safety is a key element. He wants to ensure everyone’s safety. 0o0
Mayor Pro Tem Carrizales also agrees with other members o n the Council. He expressed concerns with the project not coming before the EDC and the manner that outreach was performed. He is in favor of a development, but it has to be in the right place. He does not believe this location is the adequate place for a warehouse in the community.

Mayor Pro Tem Carrizales addressed the audience and thank ed them for their attendance in Spanish. He is in favor of continuing this Item and being before the EDC. He hopes the developer will consider everything that has been said and find an alternate project that will suit this community.

Mayor Robertson emphasized on discussions had by the City attempting to bring alternate development to the area.

She expressed her concerns related to outreach and asked why a n in-person community meeting did not take place.

The Applicant decides what will be presented to the City Council , and the City decides if it ’s a good fit. The City Council is looking for better community awareness. She believes the community benefit does not go far enough. She wants to see the project continue. The landowner has a right to develop the land. Should the City prevent the Owner from developing, then the City would be responsible for inverse condemnation because the City is not allowing them to proceed.

She believes something can be decided that is mutually beneficial.

She suggests Locust Avenue and Riverside Avenue is a good location for a shopping mall or grocery store.

She takes exception with the environmental consultant’s report indicating that it will not have no impact. She expressed her concerns with traffic and signals.
0o0

Council Member Baca asked if an action needs to be taken on the appeal process to uphold the appeal.
0o0
City Attorney Vail stated the City Council can continue the decision tonight. There are three actions available: Uphold the appeal and deny the project; deny the appeal and uphold the project; modify the project; continue for subsequent discussion.
0o0
Council Member Baca moved to uphold the appeal.
0o0
Council Member Scott made a motion to reopen the Public Hearing and continue the Item until the next City Council meeting.

0o0
City Attorney Vail stated that was a substitute motion.

Mayor Robertson stated point of order. Council Member Baca made a motion. There was no second to the motion.
0o0
Council Member Baca stated he wanted to clarify that.
0o0
Mayor Robertson stated she would not just do with the motion because then you are not putting it where the applicant and the community has an opportunity to work out and look at another project. 0o0
Council Member Scott called for the question.
0o0
Mayor Robertson reiterated that Council Member Scott made a motion.

Council Member Baca’s motion died. Council Member Trujillo second Council Member Scott’s motion.
0o0
Council Member Scott stated his motion is to reopen the Public Hearing and continue it until the next City Council meeting directing staff to add to the next EDC meeting.
