G.T. Planning Commission
Meeting Agenda Hid the real Topics Covered.
Just a short note as lot of varying topics, under guise of simple agenda subject.
Next meeting is first hearing of Anti-Big Antenna ordinance, and how to control them. Was some controversy over this when the City Planning Dept. got flat spotted via no special Ordinance.
Approved was the Landscaping Plan for Park area of Senior Center. It looks good now on a flat piece of paper, but what will it look like later. One resident of Brentwood complained that they now have an embankment in back yard, and it is to remain, but the resident thought they heard via staff it was only temporary. This is to be a Reflective park, not an active park. No, kids, nor dogs permitted, no noises, no bar-b-que pits, no.......
Remainder of night was on the Agricultural zone. Seems a bit restrictive in present tense. Was a petition for folks in N.E. area of city brought forth, but the same residents folded when asked to speak. Zero came forth.
Much discussion on current areas in standard R-1 zone, and how a few more along west side of Grand terrace Road would like to join it. Then some thing on putting Industrial uses next to common R-1 housing like in central Michigan Street. Folks keep saying to leave neighborhoods as is, the Planning Dept. keeps saying Lets look to Future.
I don't think they are communicating very well. Although the G.T. Planning staff keep saying "Tell us what you want, and we'll do it, they have yet to figure out a way to keep status-quo on any of their maps or papers" I had to remind them on how recently the City of Moreno Valley redesignated a huge chunk of property zoned for Park purposes, to an Air-Park purpose. Thus residents have Boeing 707 jets taxiing fifty feet from their rear yards. But in looking at the bright side, they only do this after 10PM, so don't bother street traffic any, and the property owners are mostly Non-residents so only the renters are affected. After all an Air-Park is same as a Green Park isn't it?
Next meeting on 16th. We'll see if anything got changed or not.
