How we know
'Named' counts meetings where our voice check put this member's name on their speech. It is not attendance: a member can attend and not speak, or speak in a stretch we couldn't name. More on how we count

What Nicholas Polsky said
I was trying to get your attention. But anyway, I have a question on why did it take so long? So the slide was in 2017. It looked like the analysis was done in 2024. What was the delay in addressing this?Nicholas PolskyCommissioner · Moraga Planning Commission · May 19, 2026Watch the full meeting from 18:04
Well, through the chair, I think it's a reasonable exercise, and I think it's one that they've done, but I also think that it just feels silly for us to sit here and try and fit like a square peg in a round hole when we have the ability. It's, it's 124 square feet.
Nicholas PolskyCommissioner · Moraga Planning Commission · May 20, 2025Watch the full meeting from 1:50:34I have a question. Um, when we were going through our general plan update last year, I think it was last year, did we, did we talk about setbacks? Was that addressed at all? Were there discussions had?
Nicholas PolskyCommissioner · Moraga Planning Commission · May 20, 2025Watch the full meeting from 19:33Through the chair, we just updated our general plan for the next 20 years, so I don't think it's coming for another 19.
Nicholas PolskyCommissioner · Moraga Planning Commission · May 20, 2025Watch the full meeting from 1:17:45I'm pleasantly surprised and pleased. And although give me 10 or 11 days and we'll see how that shakes out. But I would say the thoughtfulness of the development team and the architecture team was Evident.
