At the April 25, 2022, Village & Barrio Design Review Committee, Ms. Sullivan commented that
while she works and manages a property within the Village and Barrio Master Plan Area, she
lives in a property she manages that is just outside the plan area. Staff confirmed her statement
was accurate.
After reviewing all of the applications and membership, staff recommend that the nominations
made by Mayor Pro Tem Blackburn and Councilmember Norby be changed to redesignate the
committee titles of Debbie Sullivan and Patrick Connolly in order to retain the same members
on the committee.
Patrick Connolly currently serves on the committee as a professional expert representative.
Mayor Pro Tem Blackburn nominated Patrick Connolly to be on the committee as a professional
expert representative. However, because Mr. Connolly is a Village resident, he is qualified to
take that seat on the committee.
Debbie Sullivan can qualify as a professional expert representative because she is familiar with
multifamily buildings; she currently manages two such properties. According to the
committee’s charter, it is not necessary for the professional expert representative to live within
the Village and Barrio Master Plan area.
The City Council approved the Design Review Committee charter was on Oct. 19, 2021, with the
adoption of Resolution No. 2021-241. Its mission is to participate in and provide guidance in
developing new objective design standards for multifamily housing and mixed-use development
projects within the area covered by the Village & Barrio Master Plan area. The committee must
also review and provide guidance on a potential new palette of architectural design styles for
multifamily housing and mixed-use development projects in the area.
These committee positions have terms ending in March 2023, or upon the completion of the
committee’s work.
The Maddy Act (California Government Code Sections 54970-54974) requires that on or before
December 31 of each year the legislative body shall prepare a local appointments list that
contains the appointive terms of board and commission members which will expire in the next
calendar year. The name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment and the term
expiration date is also included on the list. Based on the prepared list, the City Clerk’s Office
accepts applications (available on the city’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office) for any
upcoming vacancies.
Members of the Design Review Committee are subject to the provisions of the California
Political Reform Act and must file statements of economic interests annually and complete two
hours of ethics training every two years.
Fiscal Analysis
The recommended actions have no fiscal impact.
Next Steps
Following the confirmation of the redesignation of the representative category of the
committee title for two existing members of the Design Review Committee, the City Clerk’s
Office will update the commission roster.
