The Mayor's Family Zoning Plan is the first significant change in the San Francisco's zoning in 50 years. Approved last night by the Planning Commission, it now begins to work its way through the Board of Supervisors as a series of legislative packages. We talk with Planning Director Sara Dennis Phillips about the plan, what it entails, what the challenges are, and where this is all headed. And we get a fantastic fun idea at the end too!

This podcast is a "Deep Dive" into proposed revisions to #NewtownPA SALDO regulations concerning plant installation in land development. These revisions, which were summarized at the September 2 Planning Commission meeting, emphasize a 100% native plant requirement for all new plantings in subdivisions and developments, explicitly prohibiting invasive species and their cultivars. The updates also introduce new diversity standards for species, set stricter tree protection zone requirements, and revise approved plant lists to favor hardy, native, and disease-resistant options while removing non-native and invasive selections. Furthermore, the changes mandate the use of native, pollinator-supporting vegetation in stormwater management areas and establish more rigorous landscaping requirements for parking lots, buffer yards, and multi-family developments, all while adhering to updated planting and nursery standards for quality control.

08/25/25 Planning Commission by City of Lawrence
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)
In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with Jason Chaffetz, former U.S. Congressman, Fox News contributor, and one-time BYU placekicker, for a candid and wide-ranging conversation on leadership, resilience, and navigating the arena of public service.Jason opens up about his journey from a small-town California upbringing to earning a football scholarship at BYU, his formative years in business at Nu Skin, and the leap of faith that took him into politics. He reflects on the personal hardships that shaped his perspective, from losing his mother to cancer to working multiple jobs to support his family, and how those experiences instilled in him a relentless drive to “show up and outwork the competition.”Together, they explore lessons learned from high-stakes moments in Congress, including overseeing investigations into Benghazi and the IRS, building unlikely friendships across party lines, and maintaining courage under intense public pressure. Jason also shares fascinating personal anecdotes about working with figures like Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Elijah Cummings, offering rare insight into the human side of politics.This conversation is packed with hard-won wisdom for anyone striving to lead with grit, principle, and purpose.Chapters00:00 | Welcome & why Jason's story matters 00:39 | “There's always material in politics” 01:35 | The role of government & the private sector 02:56 | Northern California childhood, divorce, and loss05:59 | Empathy, grace, and assuming unseen struggles06:25 | Teenage adversity, bankruptcy, and grit10:19 | Thriving in chaos & the kicker's mindset 12:20 | From soccer kid to football scholarship 15:57 | BYU years, mentors, and Lavell Edwards 18:05 | Nu Skin: early career & global GM experience 18:55 | Losing his mother & reshaping priorities 20:02 | Huntsman Cancer Institute & a call to serve 23:12 | Running for Congress with $74K and hustle26:23 | The power of showing up (Planning Commission story)28:33 | “Hot dog and a map”: pressure moment at BYU 29:02 | Polling at 2.5% to winning by 20 30:53 | Principle over policy: how he decides33:53 | The 30‑sec / 3‑min / 30‑min rule34:15 | Congress: one‑third doers, one‑third drifters, one‑third showboats36:07 | Behind the curtain: real people, real decisions37:09 | Benghazi: what happened & why it mattered38:52 | IRS & Secret Service investigations—accountability in action42:55 | What he's proud of: service, funerals, and stakes45:10 | Legislation, sailors, and quiet leadership moments48:41 | Real bipartisanship with Elijah Cummings 53:54 | Tech shifts: bringing an iPad to the House floor54:00 | Presidents: notes from Obama & working with Trump57:09 | Trump stories: straight talk, texts, and golf58:59 | On the course with a president01:00:36 | Owning disagreements & earning respect01:03:28 | Memory, receipts, and sincerity Hosted on Acast.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of August 8th Publish Date: August 8th Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast Today is Friday, August 8th and Happy Birthday to Roger Federer I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Federal loan to help finance Georgia 400 toll lanes Mass shooting wounds five soldiers at Fort Stewart Developer looking to build industrial park near Ball Ground Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on peaches 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: COBB INT. FESTIVAL STORY 1: Federal loan to help finance Georgia 400 toll lanes Georgia 400’s getting a major upgrade, and the federal government just handed over a massive $3.89 billion loan to make it happen. It’s the biggest loan ever awarded under the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA), and it’s all going toward adding toll lanes in Fulton and Forsyth counties. The project, a $4.6 billion public-private partnership, will add two toll lanes in each direction along a 16-mile stretch—from the North Springs MARTA station to just north of McFarland Parkway. Expected to open in 2031, the lanes could save drivers 15 minutes per trip and cut crashes by 8%. Gov. Brian Kemp called it a win for Georgia’s transportation network, while Javier Gutierrez, CEO of SR400 Peach Partners, said the loan is a “game-changer.” Oh, and there’s a transit twist: $75 million will go toward bus rapid transit improvements along the corridor. Optional tolls, faster commutes, and a nod to public transit—progress, right? STORY 2: Mass shooting wounds five soldiers at Fort Stewart Chaos broke out Wednesday morning at Fort Stewart, southwest of Savannah, when five soldiers were shot in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area. The alleged shooter, Sgt. Quornelius Radford, 28, was apprehended by 11:35 a.m., thanks to nearby soldiers who tackled and subdued him before law enforcement arrived. Radford, who used a personal handgun, has no combat history but does have a recent DUI on his record. The victims, initially treated on-site, were later transported to Winn Army Community Hospital. Two were sent to Savannah’s Memorial Health for advanced care. All are stable and expected to recover, according to Brig. Gen. John Lubas. Gov. Brian Kemp and Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock expressed their prayers and support for the victims and the Fort Stewart community. The base went into lockdown within minutes, though it was lifted an hour later, except for the combat team complex. Investigators are still piecing together how Radford got the gun onto the base—and why he did it. STORY 3: Developer looking to build industrial park near Ball Ground Cherokee County leaders are gearing up for a public hearing in September to decide whether a developer can build 10 office and industrial buildings near Ball Ground. The Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on Aug. 5 to schedule the hearing for 6 p.m. on Sept. 16 at the Cherokee County Conference Center in Canton. The developer, Ball Ground Business Park, LLC, wants to rezone 69 acres on East Cherokee Drive from residential and office use to light industrial. The plan? Ten buildings, 325,000 square feet total, with 330 parking spaces. The developer insists the light industrial zoning won’t bring noise or odors, but the Planning Commission has already recommended denying the request. Commission Chairman Harry Johnston, however, isn’t sold on the denial. “It’s across from the landfill—the largest east of the Mississippi—and next to a wastewater plant. Industrial use seems logical,” he said, pushing for the additional hearing. Access to the site would include driveways on East Cherokee Drive and Cokers Chapel Road, with deceleration lanes planned to manage traffic. 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: HISTORY CHEROKEE STORY 4: Cherokee County leaders vote to hold property tax rates steady The Board of Commissioners voted Tuesday to keep property tax rates steady for 2025, holding the maintenance and operations (M&O) millage rate at 5.153 mills. Fire services will stay at 2.888 mills, and the parks bond rate drops slightly to 0.26 mills, for a total of 8.301 mills. Even with no rate increase, rising property values mean the county will collect more tax revenue. For a $500,000 homestead property, that’s about $35.88 more than the rollback rate. Residents voiced concerns about budget cuts, especially to the sheriff’s office, during public hearings. “Don’t tax us into foreclosure,” one resident pleaded. Cherokee still boasts one of the lowest millage rates in metro Atlanta, with the parks bond expected to be paid off by 2029. STORY 5: Woodstock officials celebrate the groundbreaking for Little River Park Woodstock finally broke ground Tuesday on the long-anticipated Little River Park—a project that’s been years in the making. Spanning 110 acres, it’ll be the city’s largest park once finished, complete with a scenic trail hugging Little River, a lake for fishing and kayaking, and plenty more. The land, tucked along Trickum Road, was purchased back in 2017. Fast forward to 2023: 87% of voters said “yes” to a parks bond, giving the city the funds to speed things up. In June, the council approved an $8 million contract to get construction rolling. If all goes as planned, the park opens in late 2026. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on peaches Commercial: We’ll have closing comments after this.

Ten years have passed since the fire that disappeared the apartments and businesses at 22nd and Mission Streets, and killed Mauricio Orellana. Many people continue to suspect landlord arson. Slumlord Hawk Ling Lou inherited the buildings in the 1990s, and owns the now-empty lot, plus about 20 other buildings in San Francisco (some under family members' names). On May 15, 2025, despite overwhelming community dissent the Planning Commission granted Hawk Ling Lou the permission to build market-rate luxury condos on the space. If they're ever built, they'll be sold to hypothetical newcomers and investors from outside the Mission. Alejandra Rubio grew up in the Mission and has been following the story of the block since she was a teenager. Now a fellow at Galeria de la Raza, she's archiving the memories of people living in the area through a series of art and a zine, so the history of the block doesn't vanish.

What kind of economy does India need—not just to grow, but to serve its people with dignity and purpose? In this episode, we speak with Arun Maira, former Member of India's Planning Commission, Chairman of BCG India, and author of Reimagining India's Economy: An Inquiry into the Real Costs of Economic Growth.Tracing his journey from Tata Motors to the highest levels of government, Maira reflects on what it takes to transform systems—both economic and institutional.

The meeting begins with the swearing-in of commissioners, underscoring the formal and civic nature of their roles. Key themes emerge through the discussion of several "non-contested" and "contested" agenda items, primarily focusing on certificates of non-conforming use, use permits, and subdivision maps. The commission grapples with balancing development and community needs, as seen in the detailed discussion of a residential subdivision, where concerns about privacy, drainage, traffic impact, and infrastructure requirements like sidewalks lead to extensive debate and a motion for a conditional approval, highlighting the careful consideration of neighborhood compatibility.

Today is Friday, May 9th and Happy Birthday to Billy Joel I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Planning Commission Punts on West Cobb Senior Subdivision Cobb Grand Jury Adds Charges in Child Sex Abuse Case Against Marietta Couple Proposed West Cobb Cell Tower on hold amid Neighbor Concerns Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on medication All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: TIDWELL TREES STORY 1: Planning Commission Punts on West Cobb Senior Subdivision A proposed 120-home, age-restricted subdivision in west Cobb has been delayed another month after the Cobb County Planning Commission voted to hold off on a recommendation. The Revive Land Group plans to build ranch-style homes for residents 55+ on a 53.8-acre site near McEachern High School, featuring amenities like a pool, pickleball courts, and walking trails. While developers argue the project addresses the growing senior housing demand, neighbors raised concerns about traffic, environmental impact, and community value. A traffic study is underway, and the commission will revisit the proposal in June after further discussions with residents. STORY 2: Cobb Grand Jury Adds Charges in Child Sex Abuse Case Against Marietta Couple A Cobb grand jury has indicted Brian Deshawn Phillips, 47, and Elizabeth Anne Cooley, 24, on additional charges of child molestation and cruelty, bringing their total charges to 41. The pair allegedly molested an underage girl over two years at a Canton Road hotel and face accusations of other assaults across Cobb County. Arrested in January 2024, they’ve been held without bond. Phillips, previously convicted of child fondling in Florida, is also charged with burglary and assault. Cooley is accused of assisting in one act. Their charges include rape, trafficking, and aggravated child molestation. STORY 3: Proposed West Cobb Cell Tower on hold amid Neighbor Concerns Plans for a Verizon Wireless cell tower in a west Cobb neighborhood are delayed after residents voiced concerns about property value impacts. The Cobb County Planning Commission voted to hold the proposal until June, allowing Free Bird Communications LLC, the builder, to address community concerns. The 189-foot tower, near Lewis Elementary School, aims to improve cell coverage and emergency communication. Residents fear property devaluation and safety risks, while Free Bird argues the tower is necessary and designed to minimize impact. The commission emphasized the importance of community engagement before moving forward. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.

The pilot will run through fall 2025, with results evaluated to determine next steps. Rivera aims to implement a plan by August 1 that minimizes classroom distractions while respecting all stakeholders.
