a. Adopt Resolution PC-25-02 Recommending the City Council Accept the 2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report
The Community Development Director is recommending that the Planning Commission review and adopt a resolution recommending the City Council accept the 2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report. The report tracks the city’s progress in implementing the General Plan, which guides land use and development policies. The report is important for showing compliance with state planning goals and housing policies. The Planning Commission will review the report and forward it to the City Council. There is no fiscal impact associated with this process.

The Pokémon battle between the City Council and the Planning Commission is set to begin.
The Planning Commission, represented by a powerful Alakazam, uses its psychic abilities to foresee the future and plan strategies accordingly. Alakazam, with its high intelligence and strategic thinking, is a force to be reckoned with in the battle.
On the other hand, the City Council enters the battle with a fierce Charizard. With its fiery breath and powerful wings, Charizard represents the passion and determination of the council members to make decisions for the city’s growth and development.
As the battle ensues, Alakazam uses its Psychic attacks to predict Charizard’s moves and counter them effectively. However, Charizard’s Fire-type attacks prove to be strong against Alakazam’s Psychic abilities, causing a heated clash between the two Pokémon.
In a surprising turn of events, Charizard manages to land a powerful Flamethrower attack, knocking out Alakazam and securing victory for the City Council. The Planning Commission gracefully accepts defeat and acknowledges the City Council’s leadership in accepting the 2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report.
With the battle concluded, both sides come together to work towards implementing the General Plan and furthering the city’s growth and development. It is a reminder that cooperation and collaboration are key in achieving the city’s goals and objectives.

The staff report is about the Planning Commission meeting discussing a community benefits program. The program was originally part of the Gateway Area Plan but has now been moved to the General Plan. The Commission will review the program and make recommendations to the Council. They will use polling techniques to make decisions and prioritize benefits. The goal is to achieve off-site community investment to offset the impacts of higher-density projects. This will be covered under the General Plan Environmental Impact Report.

Chanson sur la Commission de l’Urbanisme
(Verse 1)
La Commission se réunit ce soir
Pour discuter des bienfaits communautaires
Le Directeur de l’Aménagement
Nous demande notre avis avec mystère
(Refrain)
Donnons notre direction
Sur le Programme de Bienfaits Communautaires
Pour le Plan Général 2045
C’est une tâche importante à faire
(Verse 2)
En 2022, le programme a commencé
Dans le Plan du Quartier de la Porte
Maintenant il doit être étendu
À d’autres zones pour le confort de la cohorte
(Refrain)
Donnons notre direction
Sur le Programme de Bienfaits Communautaires
Pour le Plan Général 2045
C’est une tâche importante à faire
(Pont)
Nous avons discuté longuement
Des avantages pour la communauté
Maintenant il est temps de prendre des décisions
Pour le bien de la société
(Refrain)
Donnons notre direction
Sur le Programme de Bienfaits Communautaires
Pour le Plan Général 2045
C’est une tâche importante à faire
(Fin)
La Commission, unie dans sa mission
Pour améliorer notre ville
Ensemble, nous prendrons des décisions
Pour un avenir meilleur, sans conflits futiles.
