Chair Ritter: Accela Hagen: Yes, and all of that is there right now in Accela Citizen Access, but we've indicated it's not widely known or not widely used, and so we're hoping through this one -stop shop, we're going to get all of these different sites a little bit more traffic and let people know about them. Commissioner Balch: So to that end, if I may a few quick things —so I think what Herb's saying about, you know, this only gets you to the starting line right? So personally I would strongly recommend having one of these beautiful boxes that says, "go see where your permit's at" right on here. And I would also clearly disclose and not green but maybe red, let everyone know that while this application may take time to complete, you know, filling it out fully may save time or something, because I think if you tell businesses, hey, go do this process because that way your surprises will be minimized in some polite professional manner is good. And then my last quick question is, you know, a lot of times I'll get an occupancy change in the building. Do you think that's going to trigger that or find those where you move from a B to a higher one that might require sprinkling, or .... you know, I get those type of problems. Hagen: Nothing here is going to allow us to catch any of those any more than we do right now. Commissioner Balch: Okay, so in your thinking of issues, right, that's something that's come up unfortunately probably once or twice. Especially if you think of the buildout in Pleasanton and where our buildings are at in the city and where most of our —I'll just be a little selfish —where most of our commercial and industrial smaller businesses are located, they are in 1979, 1980 vintage properties before the 1982 or 86'code updates that occurred. And so you know, if we could just point out to them, you know, it's hard. I don't want to minimize it to a website check box, but I'll just say that that sometimes is a bigger issue than a lot of this other stuff can be. Commissioner Brown: You said there are about 100 PUDs. Are they broken down into their zoning specific conditions in terms of the categorizations of what businesses can be there? Hagen: They're all site specific with the ordinances that are approved by Council, so you can have two PUD's that are identical terms to the PUD -C and PUD - Commercial districts, but the underlying permitted uses are going to be site - specific to the ordinance approved by City Council. So even though they're both PUD commercial, they could have two completely different use charts. Commissioner Brown: So if you were to take a sample of a business, let's say liquor stores, because that was on the Consent Calendar. If two PUDs are both zoned commercial, one allows the liquor store use and the other one doesn't, will it show up on the map if you put in a category of liquor store, will it show that property on the map as someplace you can put a liquor store? Hagen: It's site specific. We had to input the list for every single PUD in the City; it was a lot of work with the website developer. We had to actually go through all the PUDs.
