3.C. Ordinance 2236 amending building code 9-1203 to include pools 
Discussion:
Brent Cole addressed the Planning Commission and stated that a safety cover would be a safer option and increases safety by amending City Code. City Attorney Anna Burge stated that the language in Ordinance 2236 amending building code 9-1203 to include pools uses the language in the most recent International Swimming Pool and Spa Code to include where pools are equipped with a powered lockable safety cover complying with ASTM F1346. City Administrator Tom Ourada stated that the City recommends the change and is reasonable.

3.E. Set Public Hearing date and time for zoning change 
Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada explained that in that area by Arizona Avenue there are currently storage units and that is not allowed in C-3 it makes sense to change to C-2 which would be more consistent and conforming and would allow commercial and residential or both.
