The OB Planning Board meets this week on Wednesday, March 4. The main agenda items appear to be the permit to demolish and build on the 4700 block of Orchard, a presentation by the city’s Planning Department on utilities franchise fee contracts, as well as another presentation by SDG&E on their franchise fee contracts.
The Board is employing a new technique – the consent agenda – which is commonly used in larger legislative jurisdictions – like the city council. Unless a Board member “pulls” the item off the consent agenda, it could be part of a simple vote up or down without discussion on all consent agenda items. (Perhaps a member of the public can also pull an item off.) This is essentially an efficiency thing.
For Wednesday’s agenda, it is being used for the only project the Board has to review – a project that was approved by the Project Review Committee on a vote of 5 to 0 at their meeting on Feb. 19. – the demolition and construction planned for 4719 Orchard Ave. (See agenda.)

The Board meets at 6 pm sharp at the OB Rec Center, 4726 Santa Monica Ave.

A member of the public also has the right to pull an item off the consent agenda if they want it to be discussed before voting.
