Commission opens 30‑day lighting review and plans preservation training for subcommittee
Summary
Staff opened a 30‑day lighting review for a recently completed five‑unit complex at 33336 Harrison Avenue and asked commissioners to drive by and comment; commissioners also discussed launching a preservation subcommittee and attending California Preservation Foundation trainings and a targeted study session on Secretary of the Interior standards.
During staff reports the commission opened a 30‑day lighting review for 33336 Harrison Avenue, a five‑unit complex at the edge of the village, and asked commissioners to inspect exterior lighting and submit comments to staff. Staff said they had requested the developer replace exterior bulbs with lower Kelvin fixtures to reduce overly bright (very blue) lighting.
Separately, commissioners discussed forming an ad‑hoc preservation subcommittee and attending training offered by the California Preservation Foundation (two‑day/local government sessions with May 28 and June 4 dates mentioned). Staff cautioned that subcommittees are subject to the Brown Act and recommended noticing and inviting the public where required; commissioners discussed a focused study session option (for example, character‑defining features of mid‑century modern architecture and window treatment guidance) as a practical near‑term agenda.
Staff plans to circulate training invitations and to work with the city attorney and clerk to ensure Brown Act compliance for subcommittee work. Commissioners asked staff to assemble relevant Secretary of the Interior guidance and case studies to aid homeowner outreach and future listing work.
No formal action was taken; these items were announced for follow up and future meetings.
