Today we have a DAR and we have a land use hearing. And our next. Alright, well, actually, let's do, items of interest and then we can go into the DA or does that sound?
Sounds great. Thank you, Commissioner. It's really good to see all of you.
I know things, we actually had a couple of hearings that we either Bumped or postponed and and then I then I pinged you for extra dates in October and then we took them away.
Okay.
Sorry. It's been a little dynamic. As things start to settle. We are looking at, pretty busy October.
And by that I mean, we won't have extra hearing schedule, but there will be a couple.
Dates where it turns out they're going to be pretty full. So I'll just give you that courtesy heads up that we might have some long ones coming up.
There's some legislative briefings that are really important coming forward and October particularly. The housing and regulatory relief bill on October fifth the real good one.
To be paying attention to, and then also just some other DAR projects that are coming in.
So I and optimistically excited. About those kind of venturing into development world that they're kind of a weird summer.
And looking forward to kinda working you more closely. And it won't be much longer. I'll be able to crib this room.
Okay.
As I mentioned before, but just to make sure everyone hears it. City council we'll be moving into Design Convention and LMS Commission Chambers.
As they remodel City Hall. Figure out where 12 commissioners will go. 2024 so know that what that also means is we will stay virtual.
That's new.
Through all of next year. So I'm sorry for that. I knew the information I knew and I had it and I said I thought we might be together again in this room in the fall, but.
Things change and apparently this room is that good. So council will be broadcasting from here, for most of next year while they remodel City Hall.
That's a little bit of that. And then I guess my last we already day I did was Chair Brian, it's on vacation this week.
Though I, you may have sent some notes ahead. So at least I have some of his comments.
Okay.
For consideration for who's the VAR portion of our hearing today. That's all I have unless you have questions for me.
Any questions for 2?
Alright
