Sprinkler Ordinance <br />Chair Blank noted there was a rather large fire this week on West Angela Street and <br />that the week before, there was a fire in a home on Regency Drive which started in a <br />closet and was put out by the fire sprinkler, saving a $2 million home. He <br />encouraged staff to move forward with a City sprinkler ordinance and noted that the <br />City of Livermore has a very comprehensive ordinance in place. <br />8. MATTERS FOR COMMISSION'S REVIEWIACTION <br />a. Future Planning Calendar <br />No discussion was held or action taken. <br />b. Actions of the City Council <br />No discussion was held or action taken. <br />c. Actions of the Zoning Administrator <br />No discussion was held or action taken. <br />e. Adoption of Planning Commission Schedule of Meeting Dates for 2009 <br />Ms. Decker noted the 2009 Calendar, included in the packet, required the <br />Commission's approval. <br />Commissioner Narum suggested that it might make sense to put a placeholder for <br />an extra meeting halfway through the year, stating that the Commission will be lucky <br />if it heard the three continued items at the next meeting. Chair Blank stated that the <br />Commission and staff had previously discussed scheduling a special meeting once <br />per quarter throughout the year so that this would ensure items would be addressed. <br />Ms. Decker indicated that staff can follow-up and determine when the Council <br />Chamber would be available. She stated that in the past, the direction has been to <br />not schedule additional meetings per quarter because it was felt the current <br />schedule would be adequate. She noted that the Director could address this matter <br />in consideration of different procedures that may take place after January 1St. Chair <br />Blank stated that the Commission has, in 2008, held more special meetings than <br />ever before. Commissioner O'Connor noted that Staples Ranch, the General Plan, <br />and other items would have to be addressed in 2009. <br />Commissioner Narum moved to adopt the 2009 Calendar and to direct staff to <br />review scheduling one Special Meeting per quarter. <br />Commissioner Pearce seconded the motion. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, December 10, 2008 Page 33 of 35 <br />
