Podcasts about Planning Commission

At a public hearing hosted by the Southampton Village Board on February 12, residents and some board members voiced opposition to a proposal that would extend the terms of office for the mayor and trustees from two to four years. The proposal would be subject to a mandatory referendum. It was recommended by the village's Planning Commission, which argued that longer terms would save the village money due to less frequent elections while providing elected officials more time to build institutional knowledge and oversee projects from start to finish. But those who spoke out against the proposal largely disagreed. They expressed support for keeping the current two-year terms in place and questioned the need for the change. This week, the editors are joined by news reporter Dan Stark to talk about the pros, the cons and possible motives behind the proposal.

We're honored to welcome Assemblymember Tasha Burner, who represents California's 77th Assembly District, encompassing coastal communities from Carlsbad and Encinitas south through La Jolla to Coronado.   Assemblymember Boerner has served in the State Assembly since 2018 and currently chairs both the Assembly Communications and Conveyance Committee and the Assembly Select Committee on Sea Level Rise and the California Economy—a committee to address the urgent threats facing California's coastline.  Her environmental leadership is evident in her successful legislation, including AB 823, which unanimously passed to ban plastic microbeads in leave-on personal care and cleaning products, and groundbreaking work to address plastic glitter pollution.

She brings a blend of local government experience, business acumen, and passionate advocacy for coastal resilience, environmental protection, and community-centered policy to her work in Sacramento.  Join us as we discuss her approach to environmental leadership, coastal adaptation, and shaping California's environmental future.  And to learn more about the work the Assemblymember is doing, check the video series, Tea Time with Tasha.  

CTL Script/ Top Stories of January 16th Publish Date: January 16th   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, January 16th and Happy Birthday to Albert Pujols I’m Chris Culwell and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Woodstock elected officials sworn in to serve new terms Kemp to build roads, bridges during final year as Georgia governor Canton man charged in Christmas shopping center fire Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on raw milk We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Commercial: INGLES 1 STORY 1: Woodstock elected officials sworn in to serve new terms Woodstock kicked off the week with a swearing-in ceremony on Monday, welcoming back familiar faces and appointing new ones to key boards. Municipal Court Judge Robert Tidwell swore in Mayor Michael Caldwell and Council Members Warren Johnson (Ward 1), Colin Ake (Ward 3), and Brian Wolfe (Ward 5)—all re-elected in November. Caldwell also administered oaths to Lisa Morton, Spencer Nix, and Melissa Madigan for the Downtown Development Authority, and Rob Hogan, Ali Najafi, and Chase Roth for the Planning Commission. “Public trust is no small thing,” Caldwell said. “Congratulations to everyone stepping up to serve.” The council also made appointments to the Ethics Board and Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. STORY 2: Kemp to build roads, bridges during final year as Georgia governor Gov. Brian Kemp isn’t coasting through his final year in office. Nope, he’s dropping over $2 billion into highway upgrades south and east of Atlanta—part of a $6 billion infrastructure push during his tenure. Speaking at the Georgia Chamber’s Eggs and Issues event Wednesday, Kemp credited “conservative budgeting” for making it all possible. “While some politicians just talk about affordability,” he said, “we’re actually doing something.” Big-ticket items? $1.8 billion for express lanes on I-75 in Henry County, $200 million to overhaul Georgia 316, and $250 million for local road grants. Oh, and $50 million to tackle homelessness ahead of the World Cup. Meanwhile, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and House Speaker Jon Burns are laser-focused on taxes—property, income, you name it. Burns even floated eliminating homestead property taxes statewide. It’s a busy year for Georgia politics, to say the least. STORY 3: Canton man charged in Christmas shopping center fire  A Canton teenager is facing serious charges after allegedly setting fire to a vacant shopping center on Christmas Day. Firefighters were called to the Canton Village shopping center on Marietta Road around 3:15 p.m., finding smoke pouring from the roof and flames inside. Crews worked quickly—hoses out, building searched—but thankfully, no one was inside, and no injuries were reported. After an investigation involving fire officials, Canton Police, and the Cherokee Sheriff’s Office, 19-year-old Blake Louis Bishop was arrested Tuesday. He’s charged with first-degree arson, second-degree criminal damage, and loitering. The city-owned shopping center, set for demolition, required 30 firefighters and hours to fully extinguish the blaze. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.    We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 2 STORY 4: Morales breaks record, Gold returns for New Years Kickoff meet At the New Year’s Kickoff swim meet, held Jan. 9-11 at UGA’s Ramsey Center, Mila Morales of Chattahoochee Gold shattered a 19-year-old club record in the girls’ 8U 50-yard freestyle. Her time? A blazing 30.95 seconds, dethroning Lauren Case’s long-standing mark. The meet wasn’t scored—more of a post-holiday tune-up—but Chattahoochee Gold swimmers still made waves. Ava Gana stole the show with five wins, including the 12U 400 IM (4:56.31) and 200 backstroke (2:20.22). Meanwhile, Ella Malave snagged gold in the 13+ 100 breaststroke (1:05.96), and Bryston Burks dropped six seconds to win the 12U 200 breaststroke (2:48.08). Plenty of top-10 finishes, too—this team’s on fire. FALCONS: The Atlanta Falcons officially introduced Matt Ryan as their new president of football on Tuesday, and honestly, it feels like a full-circle moment. At the press conference in Flowery Branch, Ryan—who spent 14 seasons as the face of the franchise—spoke about his “unfinished business” with the team. “Since I was drafted, my mission’s been the same: help this organization win championships. We came close, had some success, but I believe we’ll get there,” he said. After retiring and working as a CBS Sports analyst, Ryan said he wasn’t looking for a new job—unless it was with the Falcons. Now, he’ll report directly to owner Arthur Blank, focusing on hiring a head coach and GM who share a unified vision. STORY 5: Georgia GOP senators target Raffensperger over voter registration lists  A group of Georgia Republican senators is pressuring Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to hand over the state’s unredacted voter registration list to the Trump administration—a move Raffensperger flatly opposes. His reasoning? State law. Sharing private voter details like Social Security numbers, birthdates, and driver’s license info is a no-go, he says. The DOJ, meanwhile, has been requesting voter lists from all 50 states, claiming it’s about ensuring accuracy. They even sued Georgia last month over the issue. The Senate resolution, led by Lt. Gov. Burt Jones’ allies, is mostly symbolic. But it accuses Raffensperger of “obstruction” for only providing a public version of the list. Raffensperger’s office fired back, saying he’s already complied as far as state law allows. “He won’t break the law or risk voters’ private information,” his office said. The DOJ’s lawsuit heads to federal court in Macon later this month. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on raw milk Commercial: We’ll have closing comments after this.   COMMERCIAL: INGLES 3   SIGN OFF –   Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast.

In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles," host Chris Clarke looks into the contentious topic of a proposed AI data center in Imperial County, California. As the largest project of its kind proposed in the state, local residents, led by community advocates like Gilberto Manzanarez of Valle Imperial Resiste, express concerns over the establishment's potential environmental and social impacts. The discussion emphasizes the community's grassroots efforts to halt the project through public awareness and strategic mobilization against a backdrop of economic challenges in one of California's most underrepresented regions. The episode offers a first-hand account of the local opposition to the data center, with residents citing noise pollution, potential environmental degradation, and the betrayal of municipal promises regarding water and electricity resources. Gilberto Manzanarez shares insights on the movement he represents, explaining the importance of community-driven advocacy against powerful interests. The episode underscores ongoing battles for environmental justice and the struggle for local communities to safeguard their living conditions against speculative developments with uncertain long-term consequences. Key Takeaways: Gilberto Manzanarez and his organization, Valle Imperial Resiste, advocate for grassroots mobilization to oppose a proposed AI data center in Imperial County due to its potential negative impacts. Residents voiced concerns about noise pollution, diminished property values, and uncertain environmental repercussions during a contentious Imperial County Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission's decision to delay the project and set up workshops reflects local pushback and the effort to educate and engage the community more meaningfully in decision-making. The episode highlights broader issues surrounding data centers, including the socio-environmental considerations lacking in many current developmental plans, as seen through examples from other U.S. cities. A call for a moratorium on data center projects until comprehensive policies are in place signals a movement toward more cautious and community-focused development practices. Notable Quotes: “This is no exception. The LLC that's trying to put the project here was only established one year ago. It's a playbook that's been played out in the entire country.” “One of the things that I noticed, was that there was a lack of information that these organizations gathered, but that information never really made it out to the people.” “I come from a town called Calexico, California... I'm not putting my entire faith in electeds right now.” “We want a comprehensive policy revolving around data centers around the Imperial County.” Resources: Valle Imperial Resiste Instagram Valle Imperial Resiste Website GoFundMe Campaign for NIMBY Imperial Listeners are encouraged to tune into the full episode to grasp the complexities and emotional currents of this important local issue.Become a desert defender!: https://90milesfromneedles.com/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Williamson County Planning Commission Meeting - October 16, 2025. Tune in to this month's Williamson County Planning Commission meeting.

Today the City of San Diego's Planning Commission will vote on whether to approve the Midway Rising Project and send the proposal to the city council this year. Jessica Sanchez, a Chula Vista native, is the newest winner of "America's Got Talent." It's looking more and more likely that the Padres won't have any home games this Postseason after losing to the Cubs. 

On today's show we are asking questions about property rights. Our team has been working on  a development site in Utah. The property in question has a broad commercial zoning associated with it. The purpose of zoning is to restrict land use to specific uses that are in line with the city's master plan. The intent is to ensure that developments of those properties is not in conflict with the stated goals of the city. At this point we have presented three different site plans to the city that are consistent with the zoning. All were supported by the planning commission. The most recent site plan proposal was approved by the planning commission with a vote of 7-0. But then when it got to city council, it was denied. Unlike in some other municipalities, this city has delegated the final decision-making authority to the Planning Commission for certain types of applications, including:Conditional Use PermitsCommercial site plansThis means that for these specific applications, the Planning Commission's decision is final and does not require further approval from the City Council, unless it is appealed.Since our property is zoned commercial, it is unclear that City council should have even played a role in the application according to the city's own rules. So the question eventually becomes one of property rights. At what point does the denial of construction on a property effectively become a condemnation of the property, without just compensation. We are truly starting to ask questions about the legitimacy of the repeated denials. Clearly these are risks that a developer takes. But my gosh this feels a bit extreme. On today's show we are going to take a look at the case law surrounding excessive government interference. Now of course I'm not a lawyer and I don't play one on a podcast.As you can see, we're a little frustrated with the city council and it's looking like consulting a very experienced land use attorney might be the next step. ----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1⁠)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613⁠)   Website: [⁠www.victorjm.com⁠](⁠http://www.victorjm.com⁠)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](⁠http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce⁠)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](⁠http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734⁠)   Facebook: [⁠www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)⁠   Email: [⁠podcast@victorjm.com⁠](mailto:⁠podcast@victorjm.com⁠)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [⁠www.ystreetcapital.com⁠](⁠http://www.ystreetcapital.com⁠)   Facebook: [⁠www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)⁠   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](⁠http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital⁠)
