FOR NINE YEARS I'VE I'VE LEARNED A LOT. I CAME IN 
          [00:30:05]
NOT EVEN KNOWING WHERE THE BOUNDARIES FOR THE CITY ARE. SO IT'S A HIGH LEARNING CURVE. BUT I REALLY HAVE ENJOYED IT. IT'S GREAT. AND THIS IS A SPECIAL MEETING AS WELL. IT'S JULIE'S FINAL MEETING. AND MAN, TALK ABOUT AFFECTING THE CITY FOR GOOD. IT'S PHENOMENAL JULIE. SO THANK YOU. AND IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO MEET NICOLE YET NICOLE WOODBURN, WHY DON'T YOU STAND UP? NICOLE.

          [3. West Jordan Free Standing Emergency Room (FSER); 6170 West 7800 South; Recommendation to the City Council for a Future Land Use Map Amendment for 86.14 acres from Parks, Very Low, Low, and Medium Density Residential, and Community Commercial to the designations of Professional Office (43.84 acres) and Medium Density Residential (42.27 acres) and Rezone from A-20 (Agricultural 20-acre lots) Zone to P-O (Professional Office) Zone; Fulmer Lucas Engineering, LLC/Avery Steed (applicant) [Tayler Jensen #35072, 35073; parcel 20-26-301-004]]
HEARINGS WITH PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL ACTION. AND THIS IS NUMBER THREE. EXCUSE ME. THE WEST JORDAN FREESTANDING EMERGENCY ROOM AT 6170 WEST 7800 SOUTH. RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT FOR 86.14 ACRES FROM PARKS. VERY LOW, LOW AND MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL TO THE DESIGNATION OF PROFESSIONAL OFFICE. 43.84 ACRES AND ACRE. 
          LOTS TO ZONE TO APPEAL AND LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE. YES. HI. SO I'M SAM BURGESS. I'M THE I'M THE DIRECTOR OF REAL ESTATE FOR HCA HEALTHCARE HERE IN UTAH. AND THERE'S SOMEBODY ON LINE TWO, CORRECT? YES. AND WE'VE GOT AVERY STEED ONLINE HERE. HE'S OUR ENGINEER. OKAY, OKAY. 
          TURN THE TIME OVER TO YOU. SO THANKS FOR HAVING ME. THE THE GOAL OF THIS SUBMISSION IS, IS STATED IS TO REZONE THE 86 ACRES THAT WE OWN FROM AN AGRICULTURAL A 20 TO PROFESSIONAL OFFICE. SO THIS WILL ALLOW US FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF BASICALLY THE FIRST PHASE OF THIS MEDICAL CAMPUS, WHICH IS A FREESTANDING EMERGENCY ROOM. WE WANT TO THANK THE STAFF FOR HELPING PREPARE THAT REPORT. THAT'S WE APPRECIATE THAT AND WITH WORKING WITH US ON THIS PROJECT. OUR PROPOSED PROJECT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GUIDING 
          [00:35:02]
PRINCIPLES SET FORTH IN THE GENERAL PLAN. AND OBVIOUSLY, THE GOAL TO BRING MEDICAL SERVICES TO A PART OF WEST JORDAN AND THE VALLEY THAT'S UNDERSERVED AND. IN A FAST GROWING AREA OF THE VALLEY, OF COURSE. THIS PROPOSAL WILL ALTER THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, AS MENTIONED TO THE THE NORTH 40 OR THE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. AND WE WE JUST HOPE THAT THE CITY WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE FUTURE OWNER OF THAT NORTH 40 AND IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT OF THAT SITE. SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT. WE'RE ALREADY A BUSINESS IN WEST JORDAN, IN A COUPLE DIFFERENT FORMS, AND EXCITED ABOUT BRINGING SOME MORE MEDICAL SERVICE, MORE ROBUST MEDICAL SERVICES TO THIS, THIS PART OF WEST JORDAN AND REALLY THE GREATER VALLEY, NOT ONLY WITH JOBS AND HEALTHCARE SERVICES, BUT A TAX PAYING HEALTHCARE ENTITY. SO THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? TAYLOR. THANK YOU. CHAIR. I'LL JUST KIND OF GO OVER REAL QUICKLY. IF WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. WE'LL CALL YOU UP IF THAT'S OKAY. GREAT. I'LL SIT DOWN THEN. THANKS. I THINK SAM DID A GREAT JOB. SO I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE TOO MUCH TIME. BUT AS WE CAN SEE HERE, AND AS YOU READ IN THE INTRO, THERE'S QUITE A FEW DIFFERENT LAND USES HERE IN THIS PIECE. I THINK THIS IS KIND OF JUST ALWAYS BEEN LEFT OVER. WE WEREN'T SURE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN THERE. 
          SO NOW WE'VE GOT THIS PROPOSAL TO COME FORWARD AND KIND OF NICELY GO INTO TWO DIFFERENT FUTURE LAND USES. THIS AREA HAS LONG BEEN PLANNED FOR SOME SORT OF USE LIKE THIS. IT'S DESIGNATED IN OUR INTERCHANGE OVERLAY ZONE, WHICH WAS ACTUALLY WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS PIECE FOR MEDICAL OFFICE, AS WELL AS SOME BUFFER RESIDENTIAL. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE WITH THIS PROPOSAL. HERE'S THE MAP FROM THE INTERCHANGE OVERLAY ZONE FROM OUR ORDINANCE, WHICH ACTUALLY TALKS ABOUT THAT. CONCEPT PLAN. WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THIS IN THE FUTURE, BUT JUST WANTED TO GET THAT IN FRONT OF YOU AT THIS POINT AS WELL. THE ER WILL BE FREESTANDING. AND AS THE HOSPITAL EXPANDS, THE HOSPITAL ACTUALLY JUST ATTACHED TO THAT AND GROW FROM THAT SPOT. SO THIS IS THE FIRST OF PROBABLY MANY SITE PLANS WE'LL SEE AT THIS LOCATION. AS TALKED ABOUT IN THE PRE MEETING, THIS ENTIRE TRIANGLE PARCEL IS EXPECTED TO HAVE THE IOC ADDED IN THE FUTURE. THAT WILL REQUIRE AN MDP AND MDP. THE APPROVAL WE'RE LOOKING AT TONIGHT IS ONLY FOR THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND THE PROFESSIONAL OFFICE ZONING. THAT'S SOMETHING WE DO WANT TO JUST CLARIFY AS WELL AS WHAT WE'RE HAVING TWO SEPARATE LAND USES GOING ON HERE. WE'RE LOOKING AT JUST ONE ZONE OF PROFESSIONAL OFFICE FOR THE WHOLE 86 ACRES AT THIS TIME. NEXT STEPS. WE'LL HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING AND FINAL ACTION FOR THE ZONING AND FUTURE LAND USE MAP AT CITY COUNCIL. 
          PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN WILL THEN COME BACK FORWARD TO THIS BODY. FINAL SITE PLANS AND BUILDING PERMITS WILL BOTH HAPPEN AT STAFF LEVEL. AFTER THOSE APPROVALS ARE ACHIEVED. AND WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL WITH THESE TWO MOTIONS ON THE BOARD, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? JUST A MAYBE A RESTATEMENT OF WHAT YOU SAID AS WELL AS WHAT'S IN THE PACKET. FOR MY OWN CLARIFICATION, THE. ZONING RIGHT NOW BEING A 20, WE'RE GOING TO PROFESSIONAL OFFICE. WE CAN'T DO A SPLIT BECAUSE IT'S STILL ONE SINGLE LOT. CORRECT? WE COULD WE CAN SPLIT THE ZONING. IT'S NOT GOING TO REALLY MATTER WHAT THE UNDERLYING ZONING IS BECAUSE THE IOC OVER OVERRIDES THAT. WE JUST THOUGHT IT TO BE CLEANER. LET'S JUST DO PROFESSIONAL OFFICE FOR THE WHOLE THING THAT ALLOWS THE HOSPITAL TO MOVE FORWARD. IF THOSE BOUNDARIES HAD TO CHANGE SLIGHTLY, WE'D HAVE THAT ZONING THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE ALREADY IN PLACE. AND I APPRECIATE WANTING TO GET THE ALLOW THE HOSPITAL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND SOME OF THOSE DETAILS. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE CAN'T MOVE FORWARD WITH THE IOC NOW IS BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE MDA. WE CAN'T HAVE THE MDA UNTIL WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FULL PLAN IS. AND SO THERE IS SOME RISK, I'LL CALL IT, THAT. THEY DECIDE NOT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS NOTION OF RESIDENTIAL ON THE NORTH AND THE COMMERCIAL SLASH MEDICAL ON THE SOUTH. I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS SINCE I READ THROUGH IT. I. THE THE CONCERNS OF THE RESIDENTS ASIDE, WHICH IS IMPORTANT. I CAN'T THINK OF ANY CONCERNS THAT THE CITY MIGHT HAVE IF THAT PARTICULAR PLOT DID BECOME 
          [00:40:05]
FULLY PROFESSIONAL OFFICE OR FULLY COMMERCIAL. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE. I THINK, CANDIDLY, MORE OF THE RISK IS BEING TAKEN ON BY THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE WE WOULD EXPECT THEM TO WANT TO GET THE RESIDENTIAL VESTING BEFORE THEY COMMITTED TO BRINGING A TAX BRINGING ENTITY LIKE THE HOSPITAL. AND SO WITH THEM WANTING TO FRONT LOAD THAT, THAT'S A BENEFIT TO US. JUST THE WAY OFFICE IS RIGHT NOW, I THINK IT'S VERY UNLIKELY THAT THE WHOLE 86 ACRES WOULD GO PROFESSIONAL OFFICE, BUT IF IT DID, IT WOULD PROBABLY BE SOMETHING WE COULD DEAL WITH AT THAT TIME. THERE COULD BE BUFFERING THAT WE WOULD JUST DO OUR STANDARD BUFFERING. BUT I THINK EVEN IF FULL COMMERCIAL, YOU KNOW, WE CAN FIGURE THAT OUT. THERE ARE WAYS TO INTEGRATE THOSE, WHETHER IT BE ON SEPARATE SIDES OF A ROAD AND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT LANDSCAPING AND THINGS IN PLACE. SO YES, AND COMMERCIAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WOULD HAVE TO REZONE AGAIN AS WELL, BECAUSE PROFESSIONAL OFFICE IS QUITE A BIT DIFFERENT THAN LIKE OUR COMMERCIAL ZONES. SO LIKELY IF THEY WANTED TO GO TO COMMERCIAL TYPE DEVELOPMENT LIKE JORDAN LANDING OR SOMETHING, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO COME BACK THROUGH THIS PROCESS AGAIN WITH ANOTHER REZONE. SO COMMERCIAL DOES NOT APPLY UNDER AN IOC OR THE. THE PO AND THE COMMERCIAL ARE DIFFERENT UNDER THE IOC. SO IOC IS ITS OWN ZONE AND WE'LL DEAL WITH THAT IN THE FUTURE. IT DOES ALLOW SOME COMMERCIAL, BUT IT HAS A MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WHERE THE BUFFERING IS GOING TO BE VERY INTENSE IN THAT THE THE TAKING ACCOUNT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE TRANSITIONING IN A SMART WAY FROM THE EXISTING KIND OF LOWER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO THE FREEWAY SYSTEM, WOULD BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IF THIS WERE TO JUST BUILD AS IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED. IT'S KIND OF OPPOSITE WHAT WE WOULD NORMALLY SEE. WE NORMALLY SEE DENSITY NEXT TO THE FREEWAYS, NOT 20 ACRE LOTS. SO I THINK THIS WILL ALLOW US TO APPLY BETTER PLANNING PRINCIPLES. YEAH. GREAT ANSWERS. 
          THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? OKAY. THIS HAS BEEN NOTICED AS A PUBLIC HEARING. IF YOU'RE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. PLEASE COME UP TO THE LECTERN AND STATE YOUR NAME. IF YOU'RE ONLINE, RAISE YOUR HAND OR ON THE PHONE. STAR NINE. 
          LET'S NOT HAVE EVERYBODY RUSH AT ONCE. I DON'T SEE ANY HANDS RAISED ONLINE. OKAY, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT BACK UP TO THE COMMISSION FOR ANY FURTHER COMMENTS AND OR MOTIONS. COMMISSION. HOLLAND. SO JUST REVIEWING THE DOCUMENTATION AT FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY THIS IS A BETTER PLAN THAN WHAT WAS PROPOSED PREVIOUSLY, WHICH WAS HIGH DENSITY HOUSING. IT'D BE A BENEFIT FOR THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE TO HAVE A HOSPITAL THERE INSTEAD OF FIVE STORY TALL APARTMENT BUILDINGS. I THINK THAT THE THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD ACCEPT THIS TYPE OF USE. IT'S LOWER IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY. THERE IS A CHANCE FOR INCREASED TRAFFIC, BUT WE JUST WIDENED 78 SOUTH. SO I THINK THE MITIGATIONS POINTS ARE THERE. SO I, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY. WANT TO MAKE THE MOTION OKAY. YEAH, I WILL MAKE THE MOTION OKAY. OKAY. I MOVE THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL. POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT MAP AMENDMENT FROM VERY LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, COMMUNITY, COMMERCIAL AND FUTURE PARK TO MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL 42.27 ACRES AND PROFESSIONAL OFFICE 43.84 ACRES. OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION. COMMISSIONER HATCH. I'LL SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. THAT CARRIES SEVEN. NOTHING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOTTA DO THE REASON. THE REASON WE GOT ONE MORE. WE GOT ONE MORE MOTION. BUT SEE, THESE GUYS GOTTA KEEP ME ON TRACK. OKAY. GO AHEAD. I MOVE THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REZONING OF APPROXIMATELY 86.14 ACRES FROM AGRICULTURE. 20 ACRE MINIMUM LOTS, A 22 PROFESSIONAL OFFICE PO TO THE WEST JORDAN CITY COUNCIL, SUBJECT TO ALL REQUIREMENTS OF APPROVAL. SECOND MOTION AND SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. CARRIES SEVEN. NOTHING. THANK YOU. OKAY. NEXT IS NUMBER FOUR UTAH. WILD WILD. LAND FIRE. 
          [4. Utah Wildland Fire Urban Interface Map and Code; Recommendation to the City Council to adopt the Utah Wildland Fire Urban Interface Map and Code; City of West Jordan Fire Department; Chris Trevino (applicant) [Larry Gardner]]
          [00:45:10]
URBAN INTERFACE MAP AND CODE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO ADOPT THE UTAH WILDLAND FIRE URBAN INTERFACE MAP AND CODE. CITY OF WEST JORDAN AND FIRE DEPARTMENT IS THE APPLICANT AND CHIEF TREAT TREVINO TREVINO. SORRY. NO, YOU'RE PLENTY GOOD. IT'S BEEN YEARS OF THAT. I WON'T TELL YOU HOW MANY, BUT CLOSER TO FIVE DECADES THAN FOUR. COMMISSIONER STAFF IS GOING TO BE WITH YOU TONIGHT. MY NAME, LIKE COMMISSIONER THOMAS MENTIONED, IS CHRIS TREVINO, AND I'M ONE OF THE DEPUTY FIRE CHIEFS HERE IN THE CITY AND GRATEFUL TO BE HERE. AS I MENTIONED TONIGHT, JUST A LITTLE HISTORICAL CONTENT. HOUSE BILL 48, WHICH IS CALLED THE WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE, OFTEN REFERRED TO BY US AS WUI UI. SO IT'S WUI YOU'LL HEAR THROUGHOUT THE VALLEY. THAT'S AN EASIER WAY TO SAY IT. AND FRANKLY, FIREFIGHTERS LIKE TO CREATE MORE CONFUSION WITH SYNONYMS. WE ALL KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE TALK LIKE WE HAVE A DEGREE IN SYNONYMS, SO FORGIVE US FOR THAT. AT ANY POINT, THERE'S QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK. AND THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT TOOK PLACE THIS PAST YEAR 2025, THERE WAS A BILL AGAIN, HOUSE BILL 48 THAT WAS INTRODUCED AND PASSED. AND IT WHAT IT ESSENTIALLY ASKS FROM THE CITIES, THE MUNICIPALITIES, AND IS THAT WE ADOPT THE 2006. WUI CODE, WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE CODE AND 2006 IS WHEN IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE IN THOSE TYPES OF CODES, THEY USUALLY HAVE A DATE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM OR A NUMBER THEY HAVE. THEY GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE UPDATED QUITE A BIT BY OTHER ENTITIES, BUT NONETHELESS, WITH THAT, THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MUNICIPALITY IS TO FIRST IDENTIFY OUR WUI AREAS IN THE CITY AND ALSO TO PROVIDE A MAP TO THE STATE. THE STATE HAS RAN WITH THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THE CITIES. I CALL IT AN OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE A LOT OF THIS ISN'T BUILT OUT. A LOT OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE IS ALREADY ON THE DOCKET TO CHANGE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION. SO WHILE WHILE I CAN PROVIDE SOME INFORMATION TO THE GROUP, THERE IS MUCH THAT IS UNKNOWN AT THIS POINT, BUT ESSENTIALLY WHAT IT DOES THE BILL DEFINES WHAT DO WE WHAT ARE WE PROPERTY IS AND THAT'S THE WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE. AND JUST TO CAPTURE WHAT THAT IS, IS THAT IS WHERE OUR WILD LAND, LIKE OUR TREES, BRUSH, SHRUBS, TIE INTO HOMES, AREA OF COMMERCE. TYPICALLY IT'S IT'S THE CITY BOUNDARY. AND IN OUR CITY, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. IN WEST JORDAN, WE'VE IDENTIFIED THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE CITY AS OUR CONCERN, OUR AREA OF CONCERN. WE TRY TO COME UP WITH A WAY FIRE ADMIN. AND WE'VE WE MET WITH CITY COUNCIL AND WORK SESSION SOMETIME AGO TO TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION, TO PUT IT OUT IN FRONT OF THEM. AND AFTER THAT, SOME OF OUR DIRECTION WAS TO MEET WITH THIS COMMISSION AND TO BE ABLE TO SHARE SOME OF THAT INFORMATION, AS IT WILL AFFECT BUILDINGS, ZONING. AND WE SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE'VE GOT FROM CITY COUNCIL WAS TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT TO THE RESIDENTS AND OUR OUR FIRE CHIEF. WHILE WE UNDERSTAND THE COUNCIL'S DIRECTION, WE ARE TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO STILL WORK WITHIN THAT BILL AS WELL, BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, THE VALIDITY OF OF THE BILL. AND WHAT THAT WOULD DO ESSENTIALLY IS, IS TO BE A PROACTIVE MEASURE TO REDUCE FIRE RISK TO THE CITIZENS AND TO GLOBAL. GLOBAL. I SAY GLOBAL, BUT REALLY WHAT IT IS, IS JUST LARGE FIRE EVENTS. AND THIS WOULD HELP IN MITIGATION EFFORTS, POTENTIAL CHALLENGES. I THINK IT'S FAIR TO MENTION THOSE, BECAUSE YOU GUYS PROBABLY DON'T WANT ALL THE DETAILS THAT I KNOW IN MY BRAIN, BUT THE POTENTIAL CHALLENGES IS THERE IS A FEE STRUCTURE. EARLY ON WE SAID, WELL, IF WE DON'T DO ANYTHING, THEN THEY CAN'T CHARGE OUR RESIDENTS. AND WE SAY THAT COMICALLY BECAUSE OFTENTIMES THINGS ARE JUST GIVEN TO US AND WE HAVE TO MAKE THOSE WORK. AND THE REALITY IS IF IF WE DO NOTHING, THEN OUR CITIZENS IN THOSE AREAS WILL BE CHARGED A HIGHER FEE. SO THEN WE IDENTIFIED WHAT THIS WOULD LOOK LIKE TO POTENTIALLY MINIMIZE ANY FEES OR ASSOCIATED INSURANCE COSTS AND BUILDING 
          [00:50:05]
COSTS. SO THE MAP YOU SEE BEFORE YOU IS YOU'LL SEE ON THE WESTERN EDGE, THERE'S A BLUE BOX THAT RUNS. IT'S IT'S SET TO THE EAST OF OUR WESTERN BORDER, 500FT. AND AS WE LOOKED AT THAT AS FIRE ADMIN, WE LOOKED AT THAT AND TRIED TO FIGURE EIGHT, FIGURE OUT WHERE OUR MITIGATION RISKS WERE, HOW WE CAPTURE THOSE AND WHAT THAT IS GOING TO MEAN FOR THE CITIZENS. SALT LAKE CITY, IN OUR RESEARCH, THEY DID A PARCEL MAP, THE PARCEL MAP FOR US ON THAT WESTERN EDGE WOULDN'T BE THE BEST IDEA. WE DON'T FEEL IT WOULD BE THE BEST IDEA BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE HOUSES, SOME OF THOSE PARCELS, GO ALL THE WAY TO U111. SO THAT MEANS IF IF WE WOULD ADOPT THE PARCEL MAP, WE WOULD CAPTURE HOMES ON U111 THAT WOULD HAVE DIFFERENT BUILDING STANDARDS NOW THAN THEY COULD POSSIBLY AT A LATER TIME. WHEN THIS IS BUILT OUT, WE'VE DONE OUR RESEARCH AND CAPTURED THIS BEING OUR AREA OF CONCERN, THE WESTERN EDGE, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE EVERYTHING TIES IN. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OTHER AREAS THAT ARE CONCERNING, BUT THEY'RE AT MODERATE RISK LEVEL, ONE OF THOSE BEING THE JORDAN RIVER, JORDAN RIVER. ON THAT SIDE, THE STATE HAS COME OUT WITH A MAP AND IT SHOWS OUR ESSENTIALLY THREAT LEVEL. 
          JORDAN RIVER IS A FOUR OUT OF TEN WHERE THE WESTERN EDGE FOUR IS ALL THE WAY TO TO MOUNTAIN VIEW. SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO CAPTURE IS THE HIGH RISK AREAS, WHICH THEY'VE GIVEN US THE NUMBER SEVEN OUT OF TEN. AND THEN THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BUILT THIS MAP OFF OF RIGHT NOW. 
          CURRENTLY WHAT IT SAYS IS FIVE. BUT IN INSIDE INFORMATION, IF YOU WILL, SOME OF THE RUMOR IS THAT IT'S GOING TO BE CHANGED TO A SEVEN, BECAUSE WHILE IT WAS A GREAT IDEA, THEY REALIZED THAT THERE'S A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WOULD STILL HAVE TO HAPPEN FOR THAT TO TAKE PLACE. SO THE ASK TONIGHT IS THAT WE CAPTURE NOT ONLY THIS MAP, WHICH ONLY IDENTIFIES THE WESTERN EDGE FROM WEST VALLEY TO THE WEST JORDAN SIDE BELOW, SOUTH OF WEST VALLEY, ALL THE WAY TO SOUTH JORDAN AND THE COUNTY AREA DOWN THAT WAY TOWARDS COPPERTON. AND THEN ALSO AS AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO CITY COUNCIL NEXT WEEK, WE WILL PRESENT THIS MAP ALONG WITH OUR RECOMMENDATION THAT THIS WOULD BE THE MAP WE USE IN ALSO TO ADOPT THE 2006 WUI CODE. ANY QUESTIONS? I DO, JUST A QUESTION ON YOUR ASSESSMENT OF THE EAST BOUNDARY. I HAPPEN TO LIVE ON MY BACKYARD IS THE JORDAN RIVER. SO TO ME THAT'S A NUMBER TEN. IF THERE'S A FIRE. 
          SO EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENT THREAT ASSESSMENT AND HOW THAT WORKED, BECAUSE THE CITY HAS DONE A LOT BETTER AT CUTTING DOWN THE WEEDS ALONG THE JORDAN RIVER. BUT THERE'S STILL A HIGH FIRE CHANCE. AND I KNOW IT'S A NO NO FIREWORKS ZONE AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF, BUT I WOULD JUST BE INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT ASSESSMENT. YES, MA'AM. NO. AND IT IS AVAILABLE TO ALL AND I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT LINK. IT'S A MAP. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SIT AND SHOW YOU, EACH OF YOU, HOW THAT PLAYS OUT. ESSENTIALLY, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE JORDAN RIVER, WE RARELY, IF EVER, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK IN ABSOLUTES, HAVE FIRES DOWN THERE, AND IF AND IF WE DO, IT'S USUALLY BECAUSE OF SOME PEOPLE PASSING THROUGH, IF YOU WILL. AND BECAUSE OF THE ENVIRONMENT, THE THE WET SOIL, IT TREATS US PRETTY GOOD. AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS FIRE MITIGATION IS AT A DULL ROAR. WHERE ON THE THE WEST SIDE IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. SO THIS THE DEPARTMENT. EXCUSE ME UTAH DIVISION OF FORESTRY, FIRE AND STATE LANDS HAVE COME OUT WITH A MAP. AND THE MAP SHOWS THAT EVEN PORTIONS OF THE JORDAN RIVER, NOT EVEN THE WHOLE RIVER, BUT ONLY PORTIONS, ARE EVEN A MODERATE THREAT LEVEL. SO THEY'VE BROKEN IT DOWN INTO THREAT LEVELS. SO THE HIGHEST THAT WE GET ON JORDAN RIVER IS FOUR OUT OF TEN. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IT FEELS LIKE A TEN OUT OF TEN FOR SURE. AND I WON'T EVEN ARGUE THAT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T IT DOESN'T WHEN IT LANDS IN YOUR BACKYARD. IT'S IT'S A LOT DIFFERENT AND TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE WHERE THEY, THEY'RE SCORING THAT A FOUR OUT OF TEN AND WHAT, WHAT THEY DO IN THEIR SCORING. THEY'RE HOPING IN THREE YEARS IN 2028 TO ACTUALLY HAVE SOMEBODY THAT'S GOING TO COME OUT AND ASSESS PROPERTIES. BUT UNTIL THEN, THEY'RE GOING TO BASE ANY FEE ASSESSMENTS ON THE AMOUNT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE STRUCTURE. SO BACK TO THE JORDAN RIVER, WHERE THEY'VE A THEY'VE ASSIGNED THE ASSESSMENT OF A FOUR OUT OF TEN. THEY FEEL 
          [00:55:01]
THAT THERE'S A MODERATE RISK. AND IT'S NOT AGAIN, IT'S NOT ALL THE WAY THROUGH UP AND DOWN ON EACH SIDE OF THE RIVER. IT'S IN SPECIFIC LOCATIONS, THE BIGGEST MODERATE THREAT LEVEL THAT WE HAVE IS DOWN TOWARDS 90TH SOUTH EVEN. AND I'M I'M FAMILIAR WITH WHERE YOU LIVE. 
          THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD THING. BUT AT THIS POINT THEY HAVE GIVEN IT THAT CLASSIFICATION. 
          SO EVEN EVEN IF WE IDENTIFIED IT, ALL THAT WOULD MEAN IS AS WE IDENTIFY THESE AREAS, IT WOULD POTENTIALLY IT COULD. IT'S GOING TO AFFECT INSURANCE RATES, COVERAGE AND FEES BASED ON WHATEVER THE WE CALL THEM. DIVISION OF FORESTRY AND FIRE, FORESTRY AND STATE LANDS, FIRE, STATE LANDS. EXCUSE ME. SO BECAUSE OF THAT, WE'VE WE'VE TRIED TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT TO THE CITIZENS BECAUSE IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN AND ONE OF THE HOMES IN THIS AREA, WHETHER THEY BUILT IN 2000 OR IT'S LANDING IN, YOU KNOW, 2028, IT'S GOING TO COST MORE TO BUILD IN THAT AREA. SO WE TRIED TO MINIMIZE THAT IMPACT WITH THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND NOT GET TO A PLACE WHERE EVERYBODY GETS A FEE. AND I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT MAP, PLEASE. THANK YOU. I KNOW I APPRECIATE YOUR EXPLANATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU BET. COMMISSIONER ALLEN, I LIKE THAT WE CAN BE CONSIDERED EITHER A CRY OF PAIN OR A CRY OF EXASPERATION. I'M SURE YOU'VE DONE BOTH. YES, SIR. FOLLOWING UP ON THAT COMMENT, WHERE, YOU KNOW, THE STATE HAS DECIDED THAT THE JORDAN RIVER IS A FOUR, I IMAGINE THAT IF WE PROACTIVELY PUT AREAS OF FOUR IN THAT, LIKE YOU SAID, IT'S GOING TO GO ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO MOUNTAIN VIEW, WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO IDENTIFY EVERY LEVEL OF FOUR. SO MAYBE WALK THROUGH THAT. WE'VE WE'VE IDENTIFIED THIS 500 FOOT INTERFACE FROM THE WEST BOUNDARY. DOES THAT CAPTURE THE HIGHEST NUMERICAL VALUES FROM THE STATE'S MAP? YOU KNOW IT. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. AND WHAT IT DOES ESSENTIALLY GIVES US A BUFFER. I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN IT. 
          AND THE STATE'S MAP. I HAVE IT, BUT I DON'T I'M NOT SURE IF WE HAVE A CLICK SHARE THAT I COULD READILY ACCESS THE STATE'S MAP. WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS IN THE AREA THAT JETS OUT WHERE I BELIEVE IT'S TERRAIN IS THE SUBDIVISION THAT IS FULLY. OH YES, I WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT IF WE'RE OKAY. 
          AND THEN I CAN SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS TO PRETEND I KNOW STUFF. RIGHT. 
          THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT I GOT. THIS ONE. I'LL DO IT. I TRIED THIS ONES, I PROMISE. OKAY. SO IF I PLUGGED IT IN UPSIDE DOWN. 
          WHAT'S THAT? ALL RIGHT, SO IF YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE CONFUSED, IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. 
          SO LET ME JUST BACK OUT TO GIVE YOU AN EXPLANATION. SO AS. THAT'S WHAT I. WHAT'S THAT? YEAH, I LOVE THOSE. WE SAW IT FOR A MINUTE. IT'S LOADING. HERE WE GO. FOR A MINUTE. 
          EXCELLENT. THANK YOU. SO AS YOU LOOK AT THE STATE OF UTAH IT'S BROKEN UP. AND THIS IS BASED ON THIS IS THEIR BETTER MAP. AND I SAY THAT TRUTHFULLY. YES. THE OTHER ONE WAS BUILT OFF. IT WAS ALL PIXELATED. SO IT LOOKED LIKE CAMOUFLAGE. BUT THEY WERE ALL SQUARE PIXELATION PIECES THROWN ON TOP OF A MAP. SO WE EARLY ON WE TRIED TO IDENTIFY HOW WE CAN CAPTURE THIS INFORMATION. WE ACTUALLY STARTED USING THIS MAP AND THIS MAP. WHAT WE'VE DONE ESSENTIALLY IS WE ZOOM IN. THIS IS THE STRUCTURE EXPOSURE MAP. SO THE DIFFERENT COLORS AS YOU'LL SEE ACROSS THE BOTTOM OUTLINE, LITTLE TO NO EXPOSURE ALL THE WAY UP TO THE FOUR 
          [01:00:05]
WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT MODERATE EXPOSURE AND THEN EXTREME EXPOSURE. NOW THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT EXTREME EXPOSURE IS IT'S THE EAST SIDE. AND WHAT WHAT DOES THAT WHEN IT COMES TO, YOU KNOW, WILDFIRE. IT'S GOING TO COME DOWN TO LIKE TERRAIN. IF THE TERRAIN GOES UP STEEPLY, IT'S A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN IT IS ROLLING HILLS WITH DRY CHEATGRASS, IF YOU WILL. SO AS WE ZOOM IN, WE'LL FIRST GO TO. LET'S GO UP WITH MY LOOKOUT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY READERS. 
          SO IF YOU LOOK ALL OF THESE AREAS. SO NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT IT. IF YOU RECALL IT, THERE WAS MINIMAL OR THERE WAS A LOT OF COLORED YELLOW, ORANGE, RED, BURNT MAROON. AND IF YOU LOOK WHEN WE GO TO JORDAN RIVER, THIS WOULD BE JORDAN RIVER STARTING AT ABOUT 70. THERE'S JUST SMALL POCKETS OF THAT, AND SOME OF OUR CITY PARKS HAVE THE SAME COLOR IN THEM. SO IF IF OUR CONCERN ISN'T AS GRAVE ON THAT SIDE. SO EVEN IF YOU GO LIKE VETS DOESN'T. BUT THE ORIGINAL MAP VETS WAS A WUI AREA. SO THIS IS THIS. WHAT WE'RE USING HERE IS A STRUCTURE EXPOSURE SCORE. SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE CAPTURING THOSE NUMBERS. AND BECAUSE THEY'RE MINIMAL ON NUMBERS THAT'S WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO DEFINE THIS MAP BASED ON WHAT INFORMATION WE HAVE. AND AS YOU MOVE OUT WEST, AS COMMISSIONER ALLEN ASKED ABOUT HOW THIS KIND OF DOES THIS PLAY INTO IT. WELL, IF YOU'LL SEE THESE THESE AREAS RIGHT HERE THAT I'M HIGHLIGHTING WITH CURSOR, IT'S A SEVEN OUT OF TEN. AND THE QUESTION MIGHT BE WHAT MAKES THAT A SEVEN OUT OF TEN. 
          WELL, IF I TAKE OUR STRUCTURE EXPOSURE SCORE OUT OF IT AND WE GO TO IT, WHAT DO WE SEE? IT'S BARNEY'S. AND WHILE WE RECOGNIZE THAT BARNEY'S HAS ALWAYS OR HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR US IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WE MINIMIZE FIREWORKS IN THE WASH, RIGHT? THE THE TRUTH IS, IS THE REASON WHY IT'S SO DANGEROUS IS BECAUSE IT'S UNDEVELOPED AND IT'S COMING DOWN. IT'S GOING TO BURN DOWNHILL IN THE EVENINGS. THAT'S WHAT IT DOES. SO IF WE PUT THAT BACK INTO IT, YOU CAN SEE OUR AREAS. AND AS WE LOOK AT OUR AREA, I'LL ZOOM IN A LITTLE AND YOU CAN SEE THAT FINITE LINE WITH THE DISCOLORATION TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE THAT IS DEFINING CITY BOUNDARIES. SO IF I TAKE OUR STRUCTURE EXPOSURE SCORE OUT, WHICH RIGHT HERE THE DARKEST IT GETS IS VERY HIGH. AND THAT'S WHERE THERE'S RUMOR THAT THAT'LL BE. NOW THE ACTUAL CONCERN LEVEL. SO WE TAKE THAT OUT AND YOU'LL SEE THAT IT'S JUST WHERE TERRAIN'S AT. AND THIS MAP DOESN'T SHOW TERRAIN. IT DOESN'T SHOW THE SUBDIVISION NORTH OF 7800 THAT HAS BEEN BUILT OUT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS ALREADY. SO AS I SHARE THAT, I WOULD SAY THAT I THINK THE STATE WILL GET A BETTER MAP ONCE WE SUPPLY THIS INFORMATION AND WE MOVE ALONG IN THIS PROGRAM. BUT SO THAT'S WHY THE WESTERN EDGE IS OUR MORE OF OUR CONCERN IS BECAUSE OF THE INTERFACE PIECE. IF THAT IF THAT COMMISSIONER ALLEN I'M NOT SURE IF THAT CAPTURED PERFECT OKAY. HERE HERE. BUT THAT'S, THAT'S SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE DEALING WITH TRYING TO CAPTURE. WHAT DOES THIS REALLY LOOK LIKE. HOW IS IT GOING TO AFFECT. 
          BECAUSE IF WE SET IT IN STONE IF YOU WILL. NOW WHAT'S IT GOING TO DO IN FIVE YEARS AND WHAT'S IT GOING TO DO NEXT YEAR WHEN THE STATE LOOKS AT THIS AGAIN, ARE WE WASTING OUR TIME? WELL, REGARDLESS, WE WANT TO BE PREPARED. THAT'S THE EXPECTATION THAT I THINK THE CITIZENS HAVE. THAT'S THE EXPECTATION THAT WE HAVE FOR OURSELVES. OTHER QUESTIONS.

          [5. Text Amendment – Street Light Standards; Recommendation to the City Council to Adopt Design and Construction Standards for Street Lighting Section 16500; City-wide applicability; City of West Jordan (applicant) [Cory Fralick]]
THE TEXT AMENDMENT, STREETLIGHT STANDARDS RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO ADOPT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS FOR STREET LIGHTING. SECTION 16500. CITY WIDE APPLICABILITY. AND COREY. YEAH, GOOD EVENING. COMMISSION MEMBERS. I'M COREY FROEHLICH, PUBLIC SERVICES DIRECTOR. I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE HERE FOR A SECOND. THIS IS ISABEL ZITKA. WE CALL HER IZZY. SHE IS OUR FIRST PUBLIC SERVICES INTERN IN OUR DIVISION. ONE OF HER FIRST ASSIGNMENTS WAS TO WORK WITH MYSELF AND THEN OUR ELECTRICAL STREETLIGHT CREW ON UPDATING ALL OF OUR STANDARDS. WE DON'T HAVE A SLIDE OR ANYTHING, BUT MOST OF THE SUMMARY IS IN YOUR COMMISSION REPORT. ON PAGE TWO, IT'S THAT TABLE. YOU'LL SEE IT'S KIND OF THE SUMMARY THAT WAS DEVELOPED. SO BUT FOR THIS POINT I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO IZZY. AND THEN I'LL BE AROUND FOR QUESTIONS IF NEEDED. ALL RIGHT. SO WE WENT AHEAD AND WE CHANGED A COUPLE OF THINGS IN THE STREETLIGHT STANDARDS. THEY HADN'T BEEN UPDATED SINCE 2018 AND IT'S NOW 2025. SO WE JUST NEED TO UPDATE IT AND MAKE SURE THAT THE INFORMATION WE HAVE IS HOW WE OPERATE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THEM THAT ARE SUPER KEY AND IMPORTANT. THE FIRST ONE IS SECTION 201. SEE, THIS ONE HAS TO DEAL WITH COPPER THEFT. SO WE NOW ALLOW ALUMINUM. ALUMINUM WIRING IS NOT ALLOWED BUT WE CHANGE IT TO ALUMINUM. WIRING IS ALLOWED SO THAT ALUMINUM WIRE DOESN'T HAVE AS MUCH VALUE AS COPPER. SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF COPPER THEFT THAT'S HAPPENING. ANOTHER ONE IS 106 E. SO THERE USED TO BE NO BURN IN PERIOD. SO IF A PRODUCT MALFUNCTIONED WITHIN A RELATIVELY SHORT TIME, THAT WAS KIND OF ON US. NOW WE HAVE ABOUT SEVEN DAYS WHERE IF A PRODUCT MALFUNCTIONS LIKE A LIGHT BULB OR SOMETHING, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO REACH BACK OUT AND HOPEFULLY GET A NEW ONE. AND THEN A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAD TO UPDATE. WE DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT PHOTOS IN, SO WE WERE MISSING A COUPLE OF STREET POLES. SO WE WENT AHEAD, CONTACTED THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THEM MAKE SURE WE GOT THEM IN. SO ALL OF OUR IMAGES ADD UP NOW. AND THAT KIND OF BROUGHT US INTO HAVING AN UPDATED STREET LIKE STANDARD, AND NOW IT MATCHES UP WITH HOW WE OPERATE. ANY QUESTIONS? MR. ALLEN? I'VE UPDATED TEXT AMENDMENTS BEFORE AT MY WORK. THIS IS A LOT OF WORK. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING IT TOGETHER, FOR BEING SO THOROUGH. I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. WE'LL CALL YOU UP IF YOU HAVE ANY. THANK YOU. 
          THIS HAS BEEN NOTICED AS A PUBLIC HEARING. IF YOU'RE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, YOU'LL BE GETTING THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. JUST COME UP TO THE PODIUM, STATE YOUR NAME. IF YOU'RE ONLINE, RAISE YOUR HAND OR ON THE PHONE. STAR NINE. NOT EVERYBODY HAVING A MAD RUSH UP HERE. OKAY, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT UP FOR COMMENT AND OR MOTIONS TO THE COMMISSION. I HAVE A COMMENT. I HAVE TO ECHO YOUR SENTIMENT. 
          THIS IS A LOT OF WORK, SO NICELY DONE. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT LIGHTING AND I CAN'T SAY I REALLY DO NOW, BUT I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THE PEOPLE THAT KNOW WILL KNOW EVEN MORE. SO THANK YOU. AND THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD WAS ABOUT THE ALUMINUM WIRING. AND YOU ANSWERED THAT VERY WELL. AND IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE. SO THANK YOU. I'LL GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION. 
          I IS THAT ARE MY FINAL ACTION. IS THAT MY MOTION. HANG ON. LET ME GO BACK. BASED ON THE INFORMATION AND FINDINGS OF THE REQUIRED CRITERIA SET FORTH IN THE STAFF REPORT, AND UPON THE EVIDENCE AND EXPLANATIONS RECEIVED TODAY, I MOVE THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION FORWARD A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE APPLICATION, FINDING THAT AN AFFIRMATIVE DETERMINATION HAS BEEN MADE FOR THE CRITERIA FOUND ON 1370 6B1 THROUGH FOUR. 
          WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER ROBERTS. I'LL SECOND THAT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? OKAY. THAT CARRIES SEVEN. NOTHING. NEXT. SO THE 
          [6. Text Amendment – Variances and Appeals to the Land Use Appeal Authority; Recommendation to the City Council to amend West Jordan City Code Sections 13-7G-1, 13-7G-2, 15-3-9, 15-3-10, and 15-5-3, Removing the Public Hearing and Public Noticing Requirements for Variances and Appeals to the Land Use Appeal Authority, and making other technical revisions/clarifications; City-wide applicability; City of West Jordan (applicant) #35017 [Duncan Murray]]

          [01:10:01]
DASH NINE, 15, THREE, DASH TEN AND 15 DASH 5-3 REMOVING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND PUBLIC NOTICING REQUIREMENTS FOR VARIANCES AND APPEALS TO THE LAND USE APPEAL AUTHORITY, AND MAKING OTHER TECHNICAL REVISIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS. DUNCAN. OKAY, SO THIS IS PRIMARILY A TEXT AMENDMENT TO COMPLY WITH STATE LAW, AS WAS MENTIONED DURING THE PRE MEETING. IN PARTICULAR, STATE LAW NOW STATES THAT CITIES MAY NOT REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING OR NOTICE FOR THAT PUBLIC HEARING. SO WE'RE REMOVING ALL REQUIREMENTS THROUGH THIS TEXT AMENDMENT. THEY WOULD BE REMOVED. THERE WOULD BE NO LONGER ANY REQUIREMENTS FOR A PUBLIC HEARING OR NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING FOR EITHER A VARIANCE OR ANY LAND USE APPEAL, AS INDICATED IN LAND USE DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT ACT AND THE UTAH CODE, AS INDICATED IN THE TITLE TO THE AGENDA ITEM, THE HEADING. THERE'S ALSO SOME TECHNICAL CHANGES WITH. WE'VE HAD A DOUBLE NUMBERING FORMAT IN THE PAST, ALL NEW TEXT AMENDMENTS JUST HAVE SINGLE NUMBERING, SO WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME NUMBER TWICE, BOTH SPELLED OUT AND IN NUMBERS. AND ALSO THERE'S SOME UPDATES TO REFLECT THE NEW STATE CODE SECTION NUMBERS. INSTEAD OF BEING SECTIONS IN TEN DASH NINE A, THEY'RE NOW SECTIONS IN TEN DASH 20 OR 1021 TO REFLECT THOSE CHANGES THAT THE LEGISLATURE MADE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. SO THAT'S THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, HAPPY TO RESPOND. ANY QUESTIONS FOR DUNCAN? OKAY. 
          AGAIN, THIS HAS BEEN NOTICED AS A PUBLIC HEARING. IF YOU'RE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME. YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.
