therefore, that is why this identified parcel is the entire tract of land still. The short-term
rental request would apply to the existing structure on the lot. It would not apply to both
lots that are pending creation. So just keep that in mind as we review that. And this
would be the first, if I am aware, in the East Campus neighborhood that is seeking
short-term rental authorization, and this is a 210-night short-term rental. Your fourth or
your fifth request -- fourth request is then again off of 105 Pinewood Drive. This is a R-2
zoned short-term rental for 210 nights. And with that, that is all we have in the way of
cases. We hopefully will be able to make next meeting relatively painless and as
efficient as possible. You will not meet on July -- or June 19th, so you will only have one
meeting in the month of June. June 19th is Juneteenth, and the City does recognize and
celebrate that day, so we will not be in session. I will warn you, as a result of not having
a June 19th meeting, be prepared to have a lengthy July 10th meeting. I already have, if I
am not incorrect, six short-term rental applications for July 10, and we have another four
regular case items, and I still have not had the second submission deadline -- or the first
submission deadline in the month of June, which is what will also be added to that, so it
is very possible that we may end up with 15 or so cases on that agenda. Monday night
of this week, many of you are probably aware that the City Council did appoint three new
Commissioners for our exiting Commissioners, Commissioner Placier, Commissioner
Williams, and Commissioner Loe. It is as the representative of the staff, representative of
the Community Development Department, and as your own liaison, as much as we may
argue, it has been a great appreciation to have the insights, the input, and the friendship.
It is sometimes challenging, and we greatly appreciate the dedication that you do make
and your intent to always try to make this a better community. It's folks like you that we
appreciate to have you are thoughtful, respectful, and you are contributory to what we do
to make this a great place to live, learn, and play. So with that, I would like to extend my
appreciation to you all as members of this Commission for tenure that you have served,
some shorter than others, but nonetheless, just as effective. We wish you the best in
your future endeavors as Ms. Loe may be heading in towards retirement, Ms. Placier gets
to go back to probably being retired, but being an activist in other areas, and Mr.
Williams, you get to spend more time with the family. And we greatly appreciate again
your time with us, and you are always welcome back to be on the other side of the
podium, but never, please, accuse staff of trying to do something wrong. I do have some
gifts for you as a parting gift. We have -- we started a tradition long ago, which I finally
unearthed the box that had the coffee mugs in them. So we do have -- so every time you
wake up in the morning, you can either spit into the cup, because you do remember your
time, or you can sip leisurely because you can watch a Thursday night meeting and say,
thank God, I get to go to bed at 10:00. Otherwise, we will miss you greatly, and again,
we appreciate your service.
