PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS Glen and Julie Stroud inquired about new construction notification (public notice cards) being released to those who live beyond the state-mandated 300 foot notification radius. They expressed concern that people who live beyond the 300 foot could be affected by a new project but would not receive notification via direct mail. Mayor Pulido requested that staff research surrounding cities and their current process when notifying the public about new projects that arise and return with a recommendation to the next Development Committee meeting. 13D-4
