Planning Commission Minutes <br />5/23/24 <br />Page 5 <br />Director Gierloff distributed a copy of the comment letter received on 5/22/24, at the meeting, which was <br />previously emailed to the PC the morning of 5/23/24. In closing Director Gierloff informed the PC that <br />THVs will come back to them in an ordinance form for the public hearing. <br /> <br />Director’s Report <br />- PC was reminded that general public comments letters are discussed during the Director’s Report. <br />th <br />- PC will hold a public hearing on THVs on June 27. <br />- SB 5290 - changes to permit regulations, on timeframes for issuing permits, etc. <br />th <br />- The three PC that attended the equity training on May 18 were given the opportunity to speak about <br />it. They were asked whether they had any thoughts about how the training might affect the way they <br />think about the things they review and the decisions that they make on PC, because they are “boots- <br />on-the-ground” about city regulations. <br />- Commissioner Probst said the equity training was very worthwhile, and the four hours presentation <br />was not long enough. It went by very quickly for him. He said the facilitator started by speaking on <br />historical implications and decisions made in the past, marginalized people, there were personal <br />reflections, and helpful resources and tools were provided, etc. He said it was fantastic. <br />- Director Gierloff said that given their greater depth of understanding, the PC should think about ways <br />they can make sure they are using an equity lens when making decisions about what people can do <br />with their property. She said that is something that staff is definitely thinking about, and she is open <br />to thoughts about how we make sure we are not causing unintentional consequences or implications <br />and how we are meeting the needs of the community/market - balancing out the perfect and the good. <br /> <br />Adjourn <br />Chair Probst asked for a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Kaehler moved to adjourn, and Commissioner Ho <br />seconded the motion. Motion passed. <br /> <br />Adjourned: 7:58 p.m. <br /> <br />Submitted By: Wynetta Bivens <br /> PC Secretary <br />Adopted: 6/27/24 <br /> <br />
