Okay,
thank
you,
city
manager,
Wu
good
evening
or
I
guess
good
afternoon,
mayor
way
and
council
members
Luke
Connolly,
the
assistant
director
of
Community
Development,
as
a
city
manager,
said,
I
also
have
bug
planning
manager
here
as
well
and
I.
Think
tonight.
The
goal
with
this
is
on
the
six
cycle.
Housing
element
update,
which
we've
had
a
lot
of
Outreach
a
lot
of
meetings
on
in
the
prior
year.
E
It's
been
a
while
and
to
give
sort
of
a
comprehensive
update
of
where
we
are,
what
we've
done.
What
the
housing
element
is
so
for
the
agenda
tonight
we're
going
to
be
going
through
really
some
background
and
I
think
for
people
who
have
followed
this
project
closely.
Some
of
this
may
seem
very
familiar
to
them.
I
think
for
others
who
are
new
to
the
process.
It
hopefully
is
going
to
be
informative
and
if
anything,
it
should
hopefully
get
people
back
into
that.
E
The
process
that
we
were
meeting
regularly
on
and
familiarize
yourself
with
with
where
we
left
off
so
I'm,
going
to
really
go
through
the
background
to
start
off
the
presentation
and
then
get
into
sort
of
what
we
know.
What
we've
learned
since
we
last
met
the
last
time
we
really
had
some
major
lengthy
meetings
on
this
was
the
end
of
last
August.
So
almost
11
months,
when
this
was
before
the
city
council,
when
we
had
the
initial
site
selection,
so
we're
going
to
go
through
those
two
parts.
E
Think,
as
all
of
you
know,
and
we
need
to
now
revisit
now
that
we
have
those
comments,
how
we're
going
to
deal
with
getting
that
site
strategy
compliant
with
what
hcd
is
requesting
of
us.
We
also
want
to
have
some
feedback
on
policies,
which
is
something
policies
and
programs.
We
really
never
got
into
a
lot
at
any
of
the
prior
meetings
on
this
project
and
it's
a
key
area
of
the
housing
element
update.
So
we
want
to
get
on
that
I
guess
what
I
should
say
is
well
between
the
site
strategy,
discussion
and
policies.
E
Okay,
so
very
basic:
what
is
a
housing
element?
The
housing
element
is
one
of
the
eight
required
elements
of
the
city's
General
plan.
So
if
you
think
of
the
city's
General
plan
as
the
blueprint
to
development,
which
is
how
it's
often
thought
of
the
housing
element,
is
essentially
that
for
housing,
it's
really
got
all
the
data
related
to
housing,
households,
housing
types,
demographic
information
on
the
city.
E
One
of
the
main
differences,
the
housing
element
compared
to
the
rest
of
the
general
plan
elements
is
that
it
needs
to
be
updated
every
eight
years
per
state
law.
So,
while
your
general
plan
is
typically
a
really
long
range
document,
for
instance,
the
city
of
Cupertino
is
covering
the
period
of
2015
to
2040..
E
The
housing
element
is
much
more
focused.
It
is
an
eight-year
plan.
It's
the
most
updated
piece
of
of
the
city's
General
plan
and
really
the
purpose
like
I
said,
is
to
look
at
being
able
to
create
and
accommodate
the
housing
sites
that
are
needed
within
that
planning
period.
These
are
assigned
by
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
Department
through
a
bag,
and
the
focus
is
on
housing,
but
also
for
affordable
housing
and
meeting
the
needs
of
your
community
and
this
and
the
surrounding
region
as
well.
E
So
what
does
state
law
require
as
part
of
this
every
eight-year
update
process,
public
participation,
a
lot
of
it?
That's
always
been
there.
It's
becoming
more
and
more
important
with
each
cycle,
a
needs
analysis
which
is
essentially
identifying
where's
your
community
at
what
types
of
housing
are
most
needed
and
for
what
groups
of
people
also
you
have
a
review
of
your
prior
housing
elements,
policies
and
programs,
so
that
would
be
the
fifth
cycle
in
this
case.
E
E
So
that's
generally
your
starting
point
for
that
discussion
and
based
on
that
you're
then
going
to
develop
new
goals,
policies
and
programs
to
address
your
current
needs
or
really
the
needs
for
the
next
eight
year
period
in
the
housing
cycle
and
probably
the
key
piece
for
a
lot
of
cities
and
what
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
on
this.
So
far
is
the
housing
sites
inventory.
This
is
tied
into
your
Regional.
E
Housing
needs
allocation
number
and
it's
essentially
looking
at
and
identifying
sites
and
enabling
housing
to
be
built
on
those
sites
within
the
planning
period,
who
reviews
and
certifies
the
compliance
with
state
law?
Well,
that's
the
state
Housing
and
Community
Development
Department.
So
while
this
is
a
city
much
a
city
document,
it's
also
very
much
a
state,
a
document
covered
by
state
law
and
needs
to
be
certified
by
hcd.
So
in
a
sense
you
have
to
think
twofold.
The
city
approves
this,
but
hcd
also
needs
to
certify
the
document.
E
We
talk
a
lot
about
the
housing
element,
but
there's
also
other
pieces,
given
the
significance
of
the
project
that
are
gonna
that
will
require
changes.
Other
sections
of
the
general
plan
that
were
related
to
land
use
Transportation
specific
plans.
All
of
these
may
need
to
be
amended
as
part
of
the
housing
element
because
we're
adding
a
significant
amount
of
housing
in
an
eight-year
period.
E
4588
units
is
our
the
arena
number
that
was
identified
and
being
able
to
accommodate
that
we
need
to
have
the
land
use
changes
in
place,
for
consistency's
sake,
state
law
requirements
as
well.
We
have
to
update
the
health
and
safety
element
as
part
of
the
general
Plan
update,
and
some
of
these
relate
to
things
that
are
say,
climate
change
related
with
with
health
and
safety
fire
hazards,
evacuation
plans,
for
instance.
E
Zoning
amendments
are
a
key
piece
of
this
and
is
very
much
part
of
the
project
that
we're
looking
at
doing
concurrently
with
the
housing
element
update
and
there
may
be
other
areas
such
as
developing
objective
design
standards,
which
is
something
we
already
are
under
contract
to
do
and
we'll
be
working
on.
Hopefully,
concurrently
with
this
project
as
we're
trying
to
get
that
kick
started
again
as
well.
E
Okay,
so
some
further
background,
the
six
cycle-
housing
element
update,
covers
the
period
of
22
2023
to
2031,
which
I've
said
the
certification
deadline,
as
I
think
everybody
in
this
room
knows
was
January
31
of
this
year,
so
we're
late.
Many
other
jurisdictions
are
in
a
similar
situation
to
Cupertino
on
this.
E
There
are
11
jurisdictions
in
Santa,
Clara
County,
for
instance,
of
the
15
cities
that
are
also
non-compliant.
Only
four
are
certified
at
this
point
in
the
a
bag
region,
which
is
a
nine
County
area
with
109
cities,
Cupertino
is
part
of
that.
56
of
the
jurisdictions
are
also
not
compliant
so
we're
late
on
this.
It's
something
we
need
to
get
done
and
we
have
less
time
to
do
it
in,
but
other
cities
are
in
a
similar
situation
to
this
city.
E
Also,
something
to
note
is
Southern
Southern
California
Association
of
governments,
which
is
by
far
the
largest
in
the
state,
represents
about
20
million
people.
They
started
this
process
a
little
over
a
year
before
us.
You
still
have
one
third
of
those
jurisdictions.
It's
190
some
cities
that
are
still
out
of
compliance
so
again,
I
think
part
of
that
is.
This
has
been
a
very
complex
cycle.
E
E
This
is
breakdown
for
Santa,
Clara,
County
and
I.
Just
thought
it's
something
you
may
have
seen
a
while
ago,
but
it's
it's
interesting
to
note.
Cupertino's
Reno
went
up
significantly
over
four
times
from
the
previous
cycle,
but
if
you
look
at
other
cities,
let's
take
Gilroy
and
Palo
Alto
have
about
the
same
population.
Palo
Alto,
Palo
Alto
is
slightly
larger
at
this
point.
E
Palo
alto's
Arena
those
over
six
thousand,
so
they
have
about
a
third
more
housing
units
than
Cupertino
does
to
me.
Mountain
View,
which
is
about
20
to
25
000
larger
in
population,
has
well
over
twice
the
arena
at
11
135.
So
what
this
is
really
getting
at
is
that
you
have
higher
housing
allocations
going
to
cities
that
really
are
job
rich
and
high
in
opportunity
like
Cupertino,
but
not
just
Cupertino,
I.
Think.
E
E
E
E
E
E
The
unit
capacity
that
was
identified
for
those
five
sites
was
1400
and
in
terms
of
approval,
the
city
was,
did
very
well
easily
accommodating
its
rain
at
over
3
370
units
that
were
approved,
building
permits
issue.
That
was
another
story.
We're
only
546
building
permits
were
issued
so
to
a
large
degree.
This
is
telling
you,
the
city
did
its
job
in
terms
of
approving
housing.
It
you
know
well
exceeded
its
Reno,
but
the
city
it
doesn't
also
control
housing
production.
So
those
are
two
very
different
things.
E
E
Have
it's
been
much
more
complicated,
trying
to
deal
with
a
lot
of
the
legislation
and
regulations
that
have
come
out,
but
also
that
we
have
a
much
higher
Arena
and
we
have
few
to
know
undeveloped
sites
is
what's
commonly
happening
in
the
Bay
Area,
and
certainly
that's
cupertino's
case,
there's
much
more
Reliance
and
Redevelopment
to
meet
Arena
versus
previous
housing.
Cycles
and,
as
I
said,
we've
had
new
legislation
that
has
added
more
requirements
in
terms
of
developing
policies,
and
programs
has
increased
accountability
to
actually
produce
housing.
E
There's
increasingly
less
discretion
where
Housing
Development
is
concerned,
housing
has
moved
more
towards
a
ministerial
process
and
moving
away
from
a
discretionary
one.
There's
certainly
far
more
reporting.
Our
annual
reports
that
go
to
the
state
on
April
1st
every
year
are
pretty
much
tracking.
Now,
not
only
your
housing
sites,
but
have
they
been
entitled
through,
say
a
Planning,
Commission
or
city
council
meeting
have
building
permits
been
issued,
have
certificate
certificates
of
occupancy
been
issued
and
have
the
housing
been
built?
So
this
is
essentially
something
that's
tracking.
Where
are
you
at
in
the
process?
E
We've
also
had
go
back.
Thank
you,
affirmatively,
furthering
fair
housing
or
affh
requirements
which
we'll
be
talking
about
and
far
more
Outreach
and
inclusion
requirements.
So
what
this
is
really
amounted
to
is
that
your
housing
element
has
become
less
like
a
document
that
you
put
on
a
shelf
or
just
have
on
your
website
and
something
that's
more
like
a
contract
where
you're
entering
into
an
agreement,
it's
tracked
and
you
have
to
be
complying
and
showing
progress
as
you
go
through.
E
We
can
move
on
to
the
next
slide
now
so
I
just
wanted
to
throw
this
in
as
well.
We're
not
at
this
point.
This
is
a
question
that
frequently
comes
up
is
what
can
happen
if
you
do
not
have
a
certified
housing
element
right
now?
We
don't,
but
if
this
were
to
go
on
for
an
extended
period
of
time,
what
you
get
is
you
have
a
loss
of
local
land
use
control
your
subject
to
things
like
the
Builder's
remedy,
which
has
been
getting
a
lot
of
press
lately.
E
What
is
a
firmly
furthering
fair
housing?
I
know.
We
have
talked
about
this
term
quite
a
bit.
Last
year,
this
comes
out
of
assembly.
Bill
686,
which
was
adopted
in
2018.,
defines
affh
is
taking
meaningful
actions,
in
addition
to
combating
discrimination
that
overcome
patterns
of
segregation
and
Foster
inclusive
communities,
free
from
barriers
that
restrict
access
to
opportunity
based
on
protected
characteristics.
This
has
become
a
key
component
of
the
Outreach
in
the
six
cycle
and
we
had
three
Community
meetings
that
very
much
focused
on
affh
requirements
that
were
held
last
May
through
September.
E
So
this
is
atypical,
say:
cities
like
San
Jose
that
neighbor
us.
You
find
a
range
of
opportunity
areas.
The
West
Side
would
be
similar
to
Cupertino
and
seen
as
the
highest
opportunity
area.
East
Side
would
be
seen
as
a
median
or
lower
opportunity
era.
So,
in
a
sense,
Cupertino
has
this
uniform
designation
city-wide,
which
means
really
any
of
our
housing
sites,
are
in
a
highest
opportunity
areas.
So
by
promoting
affordable
housing
city-wide.
E
You
are
essentially
directly
addressing
affh
issues
in
doing
that,
and
also
the
city
does
have
a
high
Arena
and
must
look
to
accommodate
persons
who
do
not
currently
reside
here.
There's
more
of
a
regional
perspective
for
the
city
of
Cupertino,
where
you're
looking
at
the
city
within
the
context
say
of
the
larger
County.
E
What
has
happened
so
far,
so
just
for
a
lot
of
you
have
been
through
a
lot
of
the
meetings
we've
had.
There
have
been
in
total
I
think
going
back
to
2021
over
30
different
public
meetings
and
on
the
housing
element
update
those
started
in
this.
In
2021
we
had
a
cult
consultant
selection
in
September
2021,
then
that
was
following
multiple
rfps
by
the
city
to
get
a
consultant
on
board.
I.
E
Think
one
of
one
of
the
issues
we
may
have
talked
about
is
that
with
Southern
California
being
so
backlogged
getting
a
consultant
and
getting
started
on
this
project
was
not
as
easy
as
it
would
have
been.
In
Prior
housing,
Cycles
I'd
mentioned
the
affh
meetings
we
had
in
May
July
and
September
22.
We
featured
panelists
that
were
representing
different
groups.
That
would
typically
be
considered
special
needs
groups
which
gave
them
an
opportunity
to
provide
direct
experience
and
insights
into
this
process
to
include
their
comments
and
hopefully
develop
policies
and
programs
that
would
address
affh
directly.
E
As
I
said,
we
selected
the
consultant
in
September
21.
The
consultant
was
with
us
just
a
little
over
a
year
in
October
22.
We
released
the
consultant
the
next
month
we
were
directed
by
the
city
council
to
proceed
with
the
draft
we
had
and
get
that
prepared
and
off
to
hcd,
which
was
done
on
February
4th
of
this
year.
E
We
had
a
new
consultant
approve
the
following
month
in
March,
a
notice
of
preparation
for
the
eir
for
the
project,
which
covers
the
housing
element
and
the
rezoning
that
was
sent
to
the
state's
Clearinghouse
in
April.
We
also
had
a
scoping
meeting
in
this
room
on
April
18th,
and
our
comments
were
received
back
from
hcd
on
the
original
draft
on
May
4th
at
the
end
of
their
90-day
review
period.
E
What
else
has
happened?
We
have
had
joint
study
sessions
involving
the
Housing
Commission
Planning,
Commission
and
city
council,
going
back
to
April
and
May
of
21..
Those
were
the
earliest
meetings
on
this.
There
have
also,
in
the
time
period,
between
September
and
August
22.
There
were
eight
City
Council
meetings
which
focused
on
site
selection,
as
well
as
Community
engagement
and
Outreach.
E
There
were
Housing
Commission
meetings
held
in
December
and
June
and
July
the
last
two
being
joint
meetings
with
the
Planning
Commission
Planning
Commission
had
six
meetings
focused
really
solely
on
site
selection,
which
concluded
I
believe
on
July
5th
of
last
year,
and
there
was
also
a
community
engagement
plan,
strategic
advisory
committee,
which
was
formed
by
the
city
council
in
March
of
last
year.
That
committee
met
on
March
between
March
and
October
of
2022
eight
times,
and
it
was
focused
again
on
developing
a
community
engagement
plan
and
fostering
opportunities
for
outreach.
E
A
A
E
Mostly
just
if
there
were
any
general
questions
on
the
background,
the
process,
what
the
housing
element
is
about
requirements
I
think
this
was
sort
of
was
the
most
basic
component
just
covering
what's
happened,
but
again,
I
think
we
one
thing
to
emphasize.
There
has
been
a
lot
of
work
put
into
this
process
to
date,
but
if
there
really
are
no
direct
questions,
we
could
certainly
move
into
recapping
the
site's
discussion
and
updating
the
direction
where
we're
looking
to
receive
some
input
on
tonight.
A
F
F
So
we
have
the
very
low
income
and
low
income
percentages,
but
within
our
City's
BMR
program
we
have
a
15
inclusionary
requirement,
but
the
the
state
is
asking
us
to
provide
a
higher
percentage.
So
it's
it's
my
understanding
that,
in
order
to
actually
have
the
the
percentages
met,
we
actually
need
to
have
a
lot
more
above.
Moderate
income
be
built
because
of
projects
only
allowed
to
have
15
percent
for
rent,
bmrs
or
20
percent
for
sale,
and
whereas
our
requirements
are
26,
very
low
income
and
15
low
income.
E
The
percentage
of
the
units,
yes,
are
clearly
higher
than
our
BMR
program,
as
you
said,
15
for
rental
20,
owner
occupied,
but
in
terms
of
meeting
this
I
think
one
of
the
hopes
would
be.
You
can
get
projects
that
are
100,
affordable
or
are
a
higher
percentage
of
affordability
than
what
our
BMR
program
requires,
because
I
mean
that
this
is
based
on
what
hcd
is
looking
at.
What
your
housing
need
is
sort
of
independent
of
what
your
BMR
program
is
currently.
E
E
F
Also
through
the
mayor,
we
have,
if
all
of
the
Cities
within
the
Bay
Area
have
this
large
increase
in
their
affordable
component.
So
we
could
foreseeably
have
many
cities
essentially
have
their
developers
competing
for
the
same
funds,
and
would
you
happen
to
know
how
much
funding
is
available
through
the
state
like
through
the
low-income
housing
tax
credits?
What
the
total
amount
is
for
the
State
of
California
no.
E
G
Thank
you
so
much
for
a
very
comprehensive
presentation,
especially
a
lot
of
background
about
this
County
and
the
state
on
how
how
the
performance
of
the
cells
and
California
cities
it's
really
good
to
have
those
data
points
really
appreciate
that,
and
my
question
is
so:
what's
our
total
I
think
it's
good
to
put
things
in
perspective,
so
we
need
to
build
this
many
housing
units,
what's
our
current
number
of
housing
units
and
and
the
affordable
housing
unit.
So
what
percentage
we
are
adding.
E
H
E
G
E
G
E
I
H
E
G
G
E
Yeah,
we
will
be
covering
at
a
high
level
policies
that
are
required
to
be
addressed
in
the
housing
element,
update
and
I.
Think
looking
for
feedback
on
which,
within
that
area,
which
policies
would
be
a
higher
priority
or
if
there
are
specific
areas
that
aren't
required,
that
the
council
or
members
of
the
public
would
think
needs
to
be
addressed.
Really
I
think
what
would
be
a
good
interest
is
what
what
is
the
need
for
this
community,
because
state
law
is
really
looking
at
it
Statewide
with
what
cities
need
to
address.
E
J
A
K
E
Okay,
so
yeah
we
will
get
into
and
again
that
was
why
we
had
the
arena.
Slide
up
was
just
to
talk
about
as
we
segue
into
meeting
the
site
selection,
which
was
by
far
the
focus
of
the
city's
meetings.
Last
year
and
again,
the
sites
were
selected
by
the
city
council
last
August,
so
we've
had
a
chance
to
view
this
slide
there.
We
could
go
on
to
the
next
one.
E
E
So
there's
no
mandate
on
exactly
what
the
percentage
needs
to
be
you're,
typically
looking
at
about
25
to
30
percent.
That
was
within
the
range
of
what
the
city
had
for
its
fifth
cycle,
where
there
was
1400
units,
and
one
of
the
reasons
for
this
is
to
ensure
then
for
the
the
lower
income
levels
that
we're
able
to
accommodate
those
sites
in
the
city
does
not
not
have
inventory
or
capacity
to
meet
housing
at
the
lower
income
levels,
more
so
than
the
market
rate.
So
this
is
why
you
want
to
have
the
buffer
in
place.
E
Summarize
in
the
site's
inventory,
we
did
have
quite
a
few
robust
discussions
in
2022
at
the
housing
and
Planning
Commission
meetings
and
ultimately,
the
city
council.
In
August,
there
were
three
City
Council
meetings
in
August,
two
of
them
at
the
end
where
the
sites
were
selected
and
the
city
started
off
the
process,
essentially
looking
at
all
the
potential
sites,
Citywide
that
would
qualify
per
hcd
criteria.
E
E
We
did
try
to
narrow
the
focus
based
on
the
land
uses
on
those
sites
trying
to
contact
owners
engage
if
there
was
owner
interest
in
Redevelopment
and
being
included
as
a
housing
site,
and
also
looking
at
sites
that
would
have
had
constraints
like
fire
hazards
or
geologic
hazards
or
any
other
sort
of
environmental
constraints
that
would
make
them
poor
candidates
to
be
on
the
housing
site.
These
are
the
type
of
criteria.
Hcd
is
going
to
be
looking
at,
is
they
want
to
see
sites
that
can
realistically
develop
and
can
even
more
importantly,
accommodate
affordable
housing.
E
One
other
issue
was
to
choose
sites
that
were
not
going
to
involve
the
placement
of
large
numbers
of
existing
residents,
so
things
like
apartment
complexes
that
would
maybe
want
to
redevelop
those
sites
were
avoided.
We
didn't
have
any
of
those
on
our
final
selection
list,
this
map,
while
it's
at
a
very
small
scale,
because
it's
covering
the
whole
city,
what
it
does
is
it
gives
you
an
idea
of
these
are
all
the
sites
that
were
approved
by
the
city
council
last
August.
E
So
the
yellow
sites
are
what
we
call
the
tier
one
sites,
which
were
those
we
were
looking
at
as
being
the
prime
sites
for
for
housing.
The
orange
properties
were
what
we
called
tier
two,
which
were
essentially
seen
as
backup
properties.
If
there
was
a
need
to
include
them
in
order
to
meet
the
arena
and
the
green
sites,
you
can
see
like
the
upper
right
hand,
corner
which
is
Valco
and
the
Hamptons
I
think
there's
about
eight
of
those
that
were
spread
throughout
the
city
other
than
the
two
large
ones.
E
Those
are
sites
that
either
had
fully
entitled
projects
or
had
projects
that
were
in
the
pipeline
to
be
entitled
and
I
believe
all,
but
one
of
those
is
now
fully
entitled.
So
that's
that's
the
summary
of
really
where
we
were.
This
map
is
essentially
all
the
sites
that
were
part
of
our
housing
element
that
went
to
hcd
in
February.
E
Now
we're
talking
about
our
site
selection
strategy,
we've
had
comments
back
from
hcd.
We
had
a
fairly
lengthy
letter
that
didn't
have
a
lot
of
detail,
but
had
a
lot
of
comments
and
one
of
the
issues
we
were
expecting
because
Cupertino,
like
several
other
cities,
had
a
large
number
of
pipeline
units
over
3
500.
So
a
much
more
than
the
majority
of
Arena
was
met
through
the
pipeline.
E
One
of
the
state
laws
ab2011,
which
went
into
effect
last
fall,
was
not
in
place
last
August
when
the
sites
were
selected.
What
that
law
essentially
does?
Is
it
takes
commercial
and
office
designated
properties
on
large
commercial
corridors
and
allows
those
to
be
developed
for
housing,
add
densities
that
are
specified
by
the
legislation?
In
cupertino's
case,
this
would
say
on
Stevens
Creek,
Indiana
Boulevard
your
major
corridors,
you
would
have
densities
of
40
and
60
units
per
acre,
so
it
also
sets
front
setbacks
and
building
Heights.
E
One
of
the
other
things
we're
relying
on
in
trying
to
comply
with
hcd
is
our
consultant.
Who's
got
quite
a
bit
of
experience,
dealing
with
hcd
and
has
had
a
good
track
record
of
success
on
getting
housing
elements
certified
is
to
provide
sites
that
will
align
with
what
hcd's
expectations
are
so
we're.
You
know
again
we're
looking
at
sites
that
comply
with
hcd
standards
and
are
also
looking
at.
What's
the
realistic
development
potential
of
that
site
within
the
eight
year
time
period,
not
just
will
it
redevelop,
but
will
it
redevelop
by
2031.
E
It's
getting
to
summarizer
pipeline
projects,
we
had
over
3
500
units
in
the
first
draft.
Valko
has
just
over
2400
of
those
units
based
on
what
we're
hearing
back.
This
was
not
specified
in
the
letter
from
hcd,
but
based
on
what
we're
hearing
from
them
and
our
consultant's
input.
We
will
probably
have
something
like
15
to
1600
of
those
units
essentially
be
allowed,
which
means
not
the
full
amount
is
seen
as
realistically
developing
by
2031..
E
Similarly,
with
the
Hampton
site
nearby
that
had
600
units
in
the
pipeline,
it
is
looking
unlikely
that
the
hcd
would
consider
that
a
realistic
development
site.
It
has
a
development
agreement
that
runs
for
another
three
years.
These
600
units
are
entitled,
but
there's
been
really
no
evidence
of
construction
or
development
on
the
property
and
I.
E
Think
for
that
site
you
have
the
added
complication
of
you:
have
342
residential
units
on
the
property
which
would
require
relocation
of
those
residents
when
the
site
was
Redevelopment,
so
logistically
it's
more
difficult
site
to
redevelop
than
Valco
is
and
in
hcd's
eyes.
I
think
that's
something
where
that
site
may
be
seen
as
not
realistically
happening,
at
least
at
this
point
in
time.
E
E
I
wanted
to
bring
this
up
again.
We
touched
a
little
bit
on
ab-32
and
SB
375
to
try
to
explain
where
a
lot
of
the
state
laws
have
been
headed
so
for
going
on
about
20
years,
you've
seen
more
of
a
focus
on
Regional
planning
and
linking
land
use
and
transportation.
Essentially,
as
the
Bay
Area
has
matured.
This
is
having
the
Bay
Area
become
more
of
a
city
and
less
of
a
suburb
and
getting
the
mixed
land
uses.
You
typically
find
in
cities.
E
These
also
tie
in
with
goals
of
reducing
greenhouse
gases
and
addressing
climate
change.
So
in
the
Bay
Regional
plan,
for
instance,
20
2050
The
Heart
of
the
City
area
along
Stevens
Creek,
is
identified
as
a
priority,
Development,
Area
and
I.
Think
if
you
look
at
the
city's
existing
General
plan,
which
may
be
difficult
to
read,
but
I'll
read
it,
for
you
is
the
first
land
use.
Policy
cited
in
our
general
plan,
says
to
focus
higher
land
use,
intensities
and
densities
within
half
a
mile
of
public
transit
service
and
along
major
corridors.
E
So
that's
pretty
much
right
in
line
with
where
ab32
and
SB
375
were
going
and
the
way
I
see
ab2011.
If
you
want
to
go
to
the
next
slide,
is
it's
going
more
in
line
with
those
earlier
laws
and
now
looking
to
create
the
possibility
of
higher
density
housing
in
these
commercial
zones?
So
this
is
really
relatively
new.
It
just
became
effective,
July
1,
so
it's
effective
as
of
this
month.
E
It
is
really
focused
on
non-residentially
designated
properties,
but
it
gives
those
properties
the
ability
to
develop
as
Residential
Properties.
The
density
in
Building
height
would
vary
again
on
the
size
of
the
lot
and
the
width
of
the
street.
The
commercial
Corridor
needs
to
be
at
least
70
feet
wide
in
order
to
qualify
under
ab2011.
It
could
be
no
more
than
150
feet
wide.
E
So
it's
a
lot
of
latitude
a
70-foot
commercial
streets
not
terribly
wide,
certainly
as
I
said,
Stevens
Creek
and
De
Anza
are
exactly
the
type
of
streets
that
I
think
that
that
you
had
in
mind
when
this
legislation
was
was
passed,
it
does
establish
minimum
building.
Heights
45
feet
would
be
a
typical
minimum
Building
height
under
this
legislation,
and
it
does
provide
a
zero
foot
front.
Setback
from
the
front
property
line.
This
is
not
from
the
curb,
but
from
the
property
line
of
the
building.
E
Give
you
yet
another
recap
is
again
it's
tied
to
the
acreage
of
the
property,
the
smaller
sites.
If
you're
under
one
acre,
you
would
have
a
30
Den,
30
dwelling
unit
per
acre
density
for
sites
that
are
greater
than
one
acre,
but
where
the
street
is
less
than
100
feet,
you'd
be
up
to
40
units
per
acre
four
sites
that
are
greater
than
one
acre,
but
the
street
is
100
feet
or
more
60
dwelling
units
per
acre,
and
that
would
be
the
highest
density
that
would
be
allowed
under
the
city
of
Cupertino.
E
E
So
that's,
essentially
what
we're
looking
at
at
our
updated
site
selection
strategy,
our
Consultants
feedback
place
works,
has
thought
that
this
is
a
good
approach
to
take,
since
this
is
now
essentially
the
law
throughout
the
state.
As
we
look
at
input
on
mostly
our
pipeline
projects,
AB
2011
sites
would
seem
to
be
the
best
way
to
offset
any
of
those
that
don't
qualify,
particularly
if
we
focus
on
limiting
it
to
the
hcd
size
and
other
criteria.
E
E
A
E
There's
going
to
be
several
zoning
districts,
I
think
a
lot
of
them
and
feel
free
to
correct
me.
Pew
would
be
the
PCG
res
along
the
Stevens
Creek
Corridor,
so
you
would
have
flexibility
in
land
use,
but
certainly
commercial
development
is
allowed
along
this
Corridor.
This
is
this.
Legislation
is
really
targeting
sites
that
are
not
residential.
Only
so
that's
the
the
intent
is
if
this
is
primarily
a
commercial
or
office
Corridor,
you
could
be
developed
as
a
residential
property.
E
E
L
E
I
said
you
could
also
specify
the
density,
so
if
you
wanted
to
have
a
range
such
as
50
to
65
or
something
else,
which
is
what
we're
proposing
for
a
lot
of
our
sites,
is
to
have
a
minimum
and
maximum
density
in
that
range,
we
could
designate
them
as
housing
sites
and
treat
them
similarly
to
what
we're
doing
with
the
sites
that
were
previously
listed
as
tier
one.
Oh.
G
E
B
E
As
part
is
developing
this
further
we're
having
what's
the
minimum
and
what's
the
maximum
one
of
the
reasons
too,
we
also
need
to
have
a
maximum
is
doing
an
environmental
impact
report.
We
have
to
be
able
to
look
at
what
would
be
the
most
intensive
development
you
could
have,
so
the
recommendation
would
be
for
the
the
ab
2011
sites
we
wanted
to
have
as
say
a
tier
one
site.
We
would
include
them
that
way
and
treat
them.
Similarly,
so.
G
And
maximum
and
the
question
is
for
the
ones
we
didn't
choose
the
2011
site.
If
we
did
not
choose
them
as
housing
element,
we
will
not
Zone
them,
they
might
still
be
office
and
Commercial.
If
someone
proposed
a
development
2011
only
set
a
minimum,
then
could
someone
come
in?
Propose
the
project?
That's
a
hundred
feet
tall
and
say
they
are
using
2011
and
but
we
don't
have
any
standard
to
say.
G
H
G
K
G
G
Of
them
are
just
not
so
okay,
my
question
is:
if
a
site
currently
zoned
only
office
and
commercial,
no
residential,
and
if
we
don't
include
them
as
housing
elements,
we
don't
apply.
Where
certain
shows
only
could
someone
propose
a
project
that
could
be
any
height
and
any
density,
because
2011
only
specified
a
minimum?
If
that
question
could
not
be
answered
today,
could
you
tell
me
when
this
question
could
be
answered,
because
this
is
very
important?
This
law
is
already
effective.
Someone
could
propose
a
project,
so
I
need
to
understand
through.
D
H
G
G
H
F
Thank
you,
so
Luke
I
have
some
questions.
If
I'm,
please
correct
me,
if
I'm
not
understanding
this
properly,
it
looks
like
the
there's,
an
assumption
that
has
been
made.
That
hcd
does
not
want
to
include
pipeline
projects
at
two
particular
locations
and
that
the
strategy
is
to
add
in
some
ab2011
sites,
which
are
of
a
certain
hcd
size
criteria.
Is
that
correct
in
order
to
come
up
with
1400
approximate
units?
Is
that
am
I
understanding
that
correctly
I'm
not
really
sure
why
why
we
started
into
this
2011
mapping
exercise
so
I'd.
D
Like
to
soda
mayor,
if
I
may
I
think
I
understood
your
question
councilmember
Moore,
so
we
heard
from
hcd
that
there's
an
overalliance
Reliance
on
the
pipeline
project.
We
don't
know
where
that
threshold
is
through
a
conversation
with
hcd
staff.
We
got
to
a
threshold
where
hcd
staff
is
comfortable
with
using
those
pipeline
units
on
these
two
two
particular
sites.
That
leaves
us
a
gap
to
fill
up
to
our
Arena
number,
in
addition
to
the
buffer
that
we
need
to
prepare.
F
Let's
just
think
about
the
Coach
House
I
think
we
had
three
35
units
in
that
that's
very
small.
We've
got
to
get
to
1400.
Somehow
we're
going
to
have
you
know.
Hundreds
of
projects
suddenly
flow
in
that
are
going
to
beat
the
clock
on
the
eight
year
period
faster
than
the
east
side
of
Valco
or
the
Hamptons
I.
Think.
F
F
How
are
we
going
to
get
to
this
realistically,
and
why
do
we
think
that
offering
that
suggestion
up
to
hcd
is
a
has
a
better
shot
than
than
the
two
sites
that
are
already
entitled
and
they're
and
they're
already
doing
cleanup
they've
already
apparently
finished
their
cleanup
on
the
west
side
at
Valco.
It
seems
like
they
are
ready
to
go
and
they're
serious
about
that
I'm
I'm
concerned
about
this
strategy
and
the
viability.
D
I
think
I
I
heard
council
member
Moore
answering
your
own
question,
but
your
your
point
is
well
taken
and
I
do
believe.
The
consultant
and
staff
has
had
a
number
of
conversation
with
hcd
staff,
but
you're
absolutely
right.
We
don't
know
until
we
submit
the
draft
and
hear
a
background
hcd
in
confirmation
in
90
days,
60
to
90
days.
E
Yeah
I
think
that's
really.
One
of
the
goals
is
we
wanted
to
update
on.
This
is
the
approach
if
needed,
there's
nothing
definite
on
the
Valco
site,
because
you're
correct
the
west
side
looks
like
it's
ready
to
go
and
based
on
our
conversation.
I
think
that's
been
accepted.
We
don't
have
anything
definite,
but
I
think
it
was
a
favorable
conversation,
the
the
really
the
Crux
of
it's
going
to
be
is.
Can
you
demonstrate
all
2400
units
build
in
the
next
eight
years?
Not
will
it
build,
but
will
all
of
it
build
and
I?
E
Think
that's
really.
The
issue
I
mean
other
sites.
You
know
along
Stevens,
Creek
Boulevard.
That
would
be
candidates
with
av-2011,
it's
difficult
to
know.
We
we
do
have
conversations
with
developers
interested
in
certain
sites,
but
whether
they're
more
viable
to
build
within
that
time
frame
than
velco.
It's
hard
to
answer
that.
A
Questions
ask
questions,
kind
of
a
follow-up
with
council
member
Moore's
question
I
understand
we
have
pipeline
units
and
we
try
to
put
it
on
their
last
submission.
And
apparently
it's
hcd's
judgment
saying
that
we
they
don't
they
don't
either
they
don't
allow
or
they
don't
like.
We
use
all
the
pipeline
units.
Is
that
correct?
It's
not
a
staff
strategy,
it's
more
like.
What's
the
hcd's
direction
is
no.
E
It's
definitely
not
a
staff
strategy
is
the
the
pipeline
units.
Again,
they
were
completely,
it
would
have
been.
You
know
we
would
have
been
negligent
not
to
include
them.
These
are
projects
that
could
build
so
there's
no
reason
not
to
include
them
and
the
fact
that
you
had
really
two
large
ones.
That's
just
how
it
is.
E
You
had
three
thousand
units
between
the
two
projects,
what
we
are
going
by
not
only
hdd's
comments,
but
also
our
consultant
who's
done
quite
a
few
six
cycle,
housing
elements
they
suspected
as
well
that
that's
really
a
large
chunk
of
your
units
and
for
large
projects
they're
often
phased
over
time.
They
don't
build
necessarily
within
five
years
six
years,
Valco
for
instance,
while
it
looks
like
it's
moving
now
it's
taken
years
to
get
to
this
point,
The
Hamptons
has
had
entitlements
for
several
years.
E
E
Yes,
if
we
could
get
more,
essentially
credit
for
them,
that
would
be
great,
but
I
think
it's
also
important
to
let
the
city
council
know
to
let
people
who've
been
following
the
project
know
that
there's
going
to
be
some
amount
of
shortfall,
we're
not
going
to
get
credit
for
all
you
know,
35
45
I
think
was
what
we
had
submitted
and
in
knowing
that.
How
do
we
offset
that
loss
with
sites
that
hcd
is
more
likely
to
accept
since
AB
2011
is
now
the
law
it
wasn't
last
year?
E
A
E
A
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
going
over.
I,
know,
I,
don't
know
all
council
members,
the
least
I
went
over
a
details
of
the
strategies
and
to
understand
your
presentation
beforehand.
So
my
follow-up
question
is
it's
to
my
understanding,
since
that
can
happen
anyway.
I
think
that's
council,
member
Charles,
question
too.
If
we
don't
put
it
in
there,
would
it
happen
it
will?
A
E
A
Okay,
so,
instead
of
having
to
look
at
other
sites,
just
that
should
be
enough
if
we
consolidate
some
of
these
sites
and
take
part
of
the
not
all
of
the
inventory
but
part
of
it.
That
hcd
could
probably
tolerate,
plus
this.
That
would
be
enough
to
accommodate
our
housing
elements,
plus
the
20
40
20
30,
that
more
than
we
planned
is
that
the
strategy
that's
going
forward.
E
M
Thank
you
Mary
a
question
for
the
staff
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
the
response
that
we
got
from
hcd
didn't
specify
that
the
pipeline
projects
were
not
to
be
included,
but
I
thought
I
heard.
You
say
that
the
consultant
thinks
that,
in
his
opinion,
that
this
would
not
fly
in
in
the
second
draft.
Is
that
correct.
E
Yes,
essentially
with
hcd
again,
they
did
not
mention
specific
numbers
or
even
specific
properties,
but
they
had
pointed
out.
Your
city
seems
to
be
relying
heavily
on
its
pipeline
projects,
which
is
true.
It
was
well
over
half
of
our
sites,
no
reason
not
to
include
them.
They
were
fully
entitled.
That
was
a
comment.
Prior
cities
I
know,
San
Francisco
got
it.
Others
did
as
well
where
they
similarly
had
a
lot
of
pipeline
projects.
So
the
comment
was
not
a
complete
surprise.
It's
just
trying
to
gauge
okay.
E
Well,
how
much
of
it
do
we
get
credit
for
50,
75
percent?
What,
and
that
was
similarly,
the
reaction
of
our
consultant
is
how,
in
particular
for
the
larger
sites,
how
much
credit
is
hcd
going
to
give
us
on
this,
because
it
is
a
heavy
Reliance
on
the
pipeline,
and
you
know
short
of
in
the
case
of
the
Hamptons
we've
reached
out
to
them,
to
try
to
get
a
commitment.
G
E
Schedule
or
anything
saying:
when
do
you
plan
to
redevelop?
Do
you
have
a
phasing
plan
anything
that
we
could
show
hcd
look
here's
their
intent.
We
just
haven't
been
able
to
get
that.
So
it's
it's
a
very
imprecise
science,
if
I
can
even
call
it
a
science,
but
it's
one
of
those
processes
where
there's
some
give
and
take-
and
this
is
you
know,
this
is
what
our
consultant
had
flagged
for
us
as
well.
O
M
E
Would
be
unlikely
to
be
successful,
I
think
I
think
we
would
get
a
similar
comment,
probably
with
more
detail
that
we
haven't
really
addressed
their
prior
comment.
Right
I
mean
you're,
either
going
to
have
to
demonstrate
why
these
are
going
to
develop
within
an
eight
year
period,
more
specifically
or
you're,
going
to
need
to
look
for
alternate
sites
and
I.
E
Think
from
what
we're
hearing
so
far,
planning
to
get
some
alternate
sites
that
are
more
likely
to
get
accepted
by
hcd
would
be
the
better
way
to
go,
and
the
fact
that
you
now
have
ab2011,
which
is
you
know
it's
here,
whether
you
like
it
or
not.
This
is
something
that
the
state
did
to
Foster
the
development
of
housing.
M
Okay,
one
more
question,
so
the
the
ab
2011
sites
that
you
identified
on
this
map
are
meant
to
offset
the
the
cut
in
in
the
pipeline
projects
right
but
isn't
have
you
done
any
Outreach
for
the
ab
2011
sites
along
Stevens,
Creek
and
the
answer,
because
that's
one
of
the
criteria
right
that
the
owner
has
to
indicate
some
interest.
They.
E
N
E
A
D
E
Yeah
I
think
the
value
in
this
could
be
getting
ahead
is
I
know
that
there
has
also
been
a
lot
of
concern
expressed
about
loss
of
commercial
properties
along
these
corridors.
So
one
of
the
things
while
it's
relatively
new
and
I,
don't
know
this
in
and
out
is
you
can
have
exemptions
to
ab2011,
where
you're,
essentially
preserving
commercial
sites,
and
the
way
you
would
do
that
again
would
be
to
sort
of
Zone.
E
In
addition
to
what
ab2011
allows
on
the
sites,
you
want
to
see
the
housing,
so
you
know
in
a
sense
you're
transferring
that
increment
to
other
properties
in
order
to
preserve
commercial
sites-
and
you
know
I
would
anticipate
that's
a
discussion.
We
would
want
to
have
to
start
identifying
which
of
the
commercial
properties
along
Stevens
Creek.
In
particular,
the
community
wants
to
see
preserved
as
commercial,
and
that
would
be
one
way
of
doing
it
and
a
benefit
that
we
are
getting
greater
insurance,
that
those
sites
will
stay
commercial
into
the
future.
H
Council
member
I
mean
just
to
clarify
the
most.
The
clearest
exemption
process
in
AB
2011
would
apply
if,
if
the
parcel
is
zoned
residential
at
a
higher
height
intensity
than
is
allowed
by
the
statute,
so
you
know
certainly
adopting
ministerial
zoning
that
allows
greater
density
in
and
by
itself,
is
an
incentive
to
steer
the
project
to
the
ministerial
process.
If
Council
wanted
to
take
the
additional
step
and
and
exempt
exempt
the
property
from
Ab
2011,
it
could
do
that
as
long
as
certain
findings
were
made.
C
L
E
E
C
F
F
How
would
we
go
about
making
that
selection
and
it
sounds
like
if
you
do
say
that
you
want
to
preserve
something
around
the
the
intersection
of
dance
and
Stevens
Creek
Boulevard,
for
instance,
if
you
want
to
preserve
that
the
cost
to
us
is
the
increased
density
and
higher
height
for
residential
I'm.
Not
sure
is
that
for
that
particular
property,
or
were
you
saying
that
you
need
to
then
transfer
that
to
another
location?
F
E
Yeah
and
I
think
if
I
misstate
it
I
think
essentially
it
is
that
you
would
be
transferring
that
potential
to
another
say:
AB
2011
site,
essentially
up
zoning,
that
site
beyond
what
ab2011
already
allows
for
residential
development.
In
order
to
preserve
that
commercial
property,
you
would
be
carving
that
out
as
an
exemption
for
maybe
2011.
F
Pardon
through
the
mayor
so
we're
not
able
to
say
we'd
like
to
save
a
mixed,
save
this
property
to
be
mixed
use.
We
want
to
save
this
or
this
retail
component
if
it's
got
30
000
square
feet
of
retail.
We
want
to
save
that
we're
okay
with
adding
the
residential.
Is
there
a
mechanism
within
AB
2011
that
allows
us
to
do
that
and
have
a
mixed
use
property
at
the
end
to.
H
A
certain
extent,
so
so
AB
2011
certainly
allows
mixed-use
properties.
The
other
thing
that
AB
2011
does
that's
somewhat
unique.
Is
it
allows
cities
to
preserve
ground,
floor,
retail
and
mixed
use
properties,
and
it
does
not
allow
a
density,
bonus,
waiver
or
concession
to
it?
Well,
it
doesn't.
It
doesn't
require
a
local
jurisdiction
to
allow
a
density
bonus
waiver,
a
concession
to
person
to
to
eliminate
that
mixed
use.
So
it
does.
H
A
C
So
back
to
the
ab
2011
and
which
sites
would
be
chosen
which
wouldn't
be
under
it.
You
know
I
note
that,
in
terms
of
General
site
selection
for
the
housing
element
we
usually
are
trying
to
stay
within.
Hcd
is
prescribed,
half
acre
to
10
acre
Zone.
There
are
special,
you
know,
there's
a
special
Safe
Harbor
for
that
that
range,
you
don't
have
to
prove
additional
things,
but
are
there
other
sites
that
you
think
that
we
should
consider
considering
that
ab2011
affects
properties
that
are
up
to
20
acres
in
size.
E
A
bit
I
think
the
recommendation
would
be
to
stay
within
the
range
of
what
HCG
is
looking
for,
even
though
AB
2011
allows
you
to
go
well
beyond
that,
it
essentially
double
their
their
maximum
size,
but
I.
Think
staying
within
hdd's
parameters
just
seems
to
make
more
sense.
Looking
at
those
sites
and
again
I
think
the
The
Heart
of
the
City
area
is
really
where
we're
looking.
You
know,
but
certainly
going
in
the
west
side
of
Stevens
Creek
as
well.
All
of
that's,
you
know,
I,
think
open.
E
A
A
E
Okay,
goals,
policies
and
programs,
so
we're
going
to
kick
off
what
is
really
the
last
piece
of
the
staff
presentation
tonight
and
they
just
well
that's
fine,
as
we
get
to
hear
this
pyramid
well,
I
just
thought
it
made
a
nice
diagram,
we're
essentially
at
the
top
of
this
pyramid.
We
really
haven't.
Had
the
policies
discussion
like
a
lot
of
meetings
on
this
project,
a
lot
discussing
sites
which
is
understandable
but
I,
think
for
tonight.
E
What
we
really
would
like
to
get
is
some
direction
and
feedback
we
we
know
what
hcd
requires
in
order
to
update
a
housing
element
in
terms
of
goals,
policies
and
programs,
but
I
think
what
would
be
helpful
for
for
staff
and
for
our
consultant
would
be
to
look
at
what
does
the
council
any
members
of
the
public
that
are
going
to
speak?
What
is
it
that
they
feel
that
the
city
of
Cupertino,
what
would
be
the
priorities
or
areas
to
Target
as
part
of
the
housing
element,
update
that
we
should
be
focusing
on?
E
Because,
again,
we
haven't
had
this
discussion,
so
if
we
can
get
things
that
are
really
in
the
shape
of
goals,
we
can
develop
those.
What
I
didn't
say
earlier
and
should
have,
is
that
we
are
planning
to
get
a
revised
draft
housing
element
back
to
hcd
in
early
September
at
the
latest.
If
we
can
do
it
sooner,
we
will,
but
let's
early
September,
that
will
be
made
publicly
available
for
a
minimum
of
seven
days
prior
to
us
being
able
to
send
it
to
hcd.
E
So
the
goal,
though,
is
to
try
to
capture
some
comments,
so
we
can
start
developing
the
goals
into
programs
and
policies,
there's
going
to
also
be
a
second
draft
after
that,
so
each
getting
more
refined.
It's
extremely
unlikely,
I
think,
as
we
have
talked
that
this
next
draft
would
be
something
that
hcd
would
certify.
So
there
is
time
for
input
and
time
to
refine
any
goals
and
policies
again,
because
we
did
not
have
this
discussion
in
2022.
So
with
that.
E
Are
the
required
programs
and
policies
so
obvious?
One
is
making
sure
there
are
adequate
housing
sites
that
we
can
provide
the
sites
and
meet
our
Arena,
that
we
develop
policies
and
programs
that
would
assist
lower
income,
housing
development
throughout
the
city
that
we
look
at
housing
constraints
and
try
to
eliminate
any
housing
constraints,
whether
they're,
regulatory
or
environmental
or
otherwise.
What
what
can
the
city
essentially
do
to
remove
them?
E
What
would
be
programs
that
would
conserve
and
improve
the
city's
housing
stock
and
programs
that
would
affirmatively
further
fair
housing,
as
we
talked
about
earlier,
as
well
as
programs
to
preserve
at-risk
units?
So
these
are
all
things
that
are
required.
We
can't
just
pick
one
or
two
and
focus
on
it.
E
We
need
to
address
all
of
these
as
part
of
the
update,
but
if
there
are
particular
categories
within
there,
and
also
something
like
adus
or
second
units
or
trying
to
provide
housing
to
what's
commonly
referred
to
as
the
missing
middle,
you
know
things
that
used
to
be
like
duplexes
triplexes.
You
know
how
would
you
see
those
things
fitting
into
the
community
and
what
should
we
focus
on.
E
So
so
other
examples
of
those
so
programs
to
assist
lower
income
housing
development
examples
would
be
pursuing
Grant
applications
in
order
to
facilitate
that
providing
technical
support.
The
cities
and
staff
could
do
that
issuing
notices
of
funding
availability
for
below
market
rate,
affordable
housing
funds
again.
These
are
all
very
general
but
they're
ideas,
but
there
are
these
things
that
there
would
be
support
for
tonight
and
especially,
if
there's
some
consensus
among
the
council
for
these
things,
that
would
be
good
for
us
to
know.
We
could
also
again
looking
at
housing
constraints.
E
We
could
adopt
objective
development
or
design
standards
or
continue
to
have
maintain
feed
waivers
for
affordable
units
or
a
hundred
percent
affordable
projects
and
also
evaluating
things
like
parking
standards
for
all
all
residential
requirements.
These
would
all
things
that
would
be
directly
addressing
potential
constraints
to
Housing
Development.
E
Programs
to
conserve,
improve
or
expand
the
sitting
housing
stock.
We
could
look
at
things
like
requiring
a
replacement
of,
at
least
as
many
units
on
a
site
if
it
redevelops
to
make
sure
we're
not
losing
units
through
Redevelopment
to
disallow
any
conversion
of
multi-family
units
to
single-family
similar
issue
and
also
pursuing
a
Community
Development
block
grant
funds
for
conservation
and
improvements.
E
Programs
too
affirmatively
further
Fair
housings.
We
can
look
at
things
like
up
zoning
sites
to
adequately
allow
for
arena,
which
I
think
we're
already
doing.
We
could
look
at
things
supporting,
say,
teacher
housing
or
extremely
low
income
projects
or
other
groups
that
may
have
special
needs
to
to
try
to,
particularly
if
you
know,
affirmatively,
further
fair
housing
in
a
way
that
we're
already
being
required
to
do
through
the
housing
element,
but
to
to
focus
on
groups
similar
to
what
our
community
meetings
did
and
tailor
programs
to
to
Target
those
groups.
E
We
could
continue
to
support
development
of
adus,
which
I
think
we're
already
doing.
Well,
that
also
offers
they
say,
modest
opportunities
for
increases
in
density
and
again
enhances
that
missing
middle
and
housing,
which
often
truly
is
missing.
We
have
a
lot
of
single-family
neighborhoods
and
you
get
some
higher
density
housing,
but
trying
to
Target
that
that
middle
sort
of
affordable
by
Design
Group
that
is
often
elusive
to
develop
in
areas
like
this
programs
to
preserve
at-risk
units.
Examples
would
be.
E
We
could
develop
policies
or
programs
to
meet
with
affordable
housing
operators
on
an
annual
basis
for
adus.
We
could
continue
to
offer
streamline
pre-approved
plans.
For
instance,
I
know.
A
lot
of
cities
are
doing
that.
We
could
try
to
further
those
efforts.
We
could
evaluate
and
participate
in
local
and
Regional
efforts
on
Adu
programs
as
well.
We're
partnering
with
the
county,
for
instance,
Now,
sort
of
Shifting
away
from
policies,
I
think
which
will
be
the
big
part
of
our
feedback
we
want
to
get,
but
to
kind
of
summarize,
where
we
are
they.
E
E
If
we
could
get
support
on
that
to
know
how
we
can
proceed
and
continue
to
work
on
getting
the
housing
element,
Advanced
towards
certification
and
also
to
get
feedback,
even
if
it's
at
a
very
general
level,
the
prioritization
of
housing
policy,
areas
and
again,
I
think
we
went
through
those.
But
if
there
are
other
particular
areas,
things
such
as
addressing
homelessness
or
transitional
housing,
anything
that
touches
on
housing
and
shelter
where
we
could
get
direction
from
Council,
where
your
priorities
would
lie.
I
think
would
be
very
helpful
for
us
and
our
consultant.
E
We
would
anticipate
having
two
meetings
to
try
to
discuss
how
this
additional
housing
what
we
would
need
to
do
through
rezoning
to
accommodate
it
best
I
think
you
got
a
good
glimpse
of
that
on
the
coach
house
project
a
month
or
so
ago,
where,
while
it
was
a
smaller
scale
project,
one
of
the
common
issues
on
the
housing
sites.
We're
going
to
see
is
that
many
of
these
are
going
to
back
up
to
lower
scale,
single-family
neighborhoods,
very
common,
even
along
Stevens
Creek
and
De
Anza
Boulevard.
E
So
how
are
we
going
to
make
that
transition
through
rezoning
where
we're
going
to
have
much
denser
sites
on
the
main
Corridor
transitioning
to
single
family?
So
we
intend
to
have
Community
meetings
to
focus
on
that
and
other
issues
and
we
will
be
notifying
everybody
in
advance
of
those
meetings
and
hope
for
good
attendance
September,
as
I
earlier
said,
we're
looking
at
getting
the
draft
back
to
hcd,
which
will
trigger
another
60-day
review
period
for
hcd.
So
comments
on
that
draft
would
be
back
ideally
by
early
November
throughout
October
November.
E
Also,
our
eir
preparation
will
continue.
Hopefully
we
have
the
comments
back
from
hcd
early
that
month.
We
have
it
by
end
of
year,
Target
of
publishing
the
draft
environmental
impact
report
and
then
also
beginning
the
revisions
on
our
second
draft
housing
element
which
we
would
be
getting
back
to
hcd
in
January.
E
Also
in
that
month
we
would
be
hopefully
reviewing
comments
on
the
draft
eir.
That
is
a
45-day
comment
period,
as
you
probably
know,
an
environmental
impact
report
and
then
getting
us
towards
in
March
in
April,
where
we
would
pretty
much
be
wrapping
up
everything
related
to
the
housing
element,
rezoning
having
the
final
eir
available
and
bringing
forward
all
of
those
elements
to
you
for
the
adoption
hearing
on
the
housing
element,
rezoning
and
certification
of
the
environmental
impact
report,
March
and
April.
For
anybody
that's
going
to
ask:
could
we
do
that
any
sooner?
E
The
answer
would
be.
No.
We
have
tried
to
expedite
this
as
much
as
we
can
we're
really
about
as
quick
as
the
slowest
piece
of
this
project,
which
is
the
eir
there's
no
way
to
really
compress
that
time
frame
so
with
what
we're
looking
at
now
we're
looking
at
March
at
the
soonest
April,
possibly
the
likeliest
to
have
all
of
this
wrapped
up.
So
that
concludes
our
timeline.
E
A
G
E
G
L
K
F
Okay,
thank
you
Luke
for
the
suggestions
for
the
housing
policy
areas,
I'm
I'm,
in
agreement
with
what
you
have
I'd
like
to
know
how
many
of
the
bmrs
are
actually
terming
out,
because
it
seemed
like
a
few
of
them
are
actually
approaching
their
their
limit.
So
and
that's
something
you
can
provide
offline,
but
I'm,
curious
about
that.
If,
and
also,
are
we
having
any
luck
with
sb9
and
I'm
going
to
say
from
observation?
F
Q
Good
evening
Council
pukush
planning
manager
we
haven't
had
we
actually
have
one
sb9
application,
but
we've
had
a
lot
of
interest
in
it,
and
so
there
are
at
least
20
properties
that
are
interested
in
developing
so
they're,
just
trying
to
figure
out
the
ins
and
outs
of
it
to
make
an
application.
Okay,.
F
Okay
and
then
I
had
some
wish
that,
like
our
BMR
fund,
which
has
somewhere
between
five
and
six
million
dollars,
if
that
could
be
opened
up
for
the
city's
consideration,
to
perhaps
combine
we're
looking
at
selling
the
burn
property.
If
there
was
some
way
that
if
we
were
to
sell
a
property
that
we
could
combine
that
funding
and
purchase
another
piece
of
property
along
a
Transit
Corridor,
perhaps
for
some
transitional
housing
to
make
that
available,
it
could
also
be
potentially
for
RV
parking
temporarily
and
transitional
housing
could
have.
F
F
I
wasn't
really
clear
on
what
we
have
in
our
general
plan
if
the
BMR
funds
are
allowed
to
be
used
that
way,
but
it
might
be
an
interesting
a
policy
change
for
that
and
with
regards
to
the
adus
I
would
like
to
see
a
little
bit
more
data
on
it
to
to
know.
If
we're,
if
we
are
seeing
people
opening
those
units
up
to
rent
or
are
a
lot
of
homeowners
using
it
for
sprawl
on
their
own
lot,
to
just
essentially
have
an
easier
way
to.
R
A
E
A
E
And
I
think
at
again
a
very
general
level
I
mean
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
detail
in
the
presentation
because
we
haven't
had
this
conversation
I
think
we
need
to
work
from
the
broad
to
the
narrow
and
I
think
as
council
member
Moore
just
cited
transitional
housing.
Like
that's
perfect
is,
should
we
be?
Should
we
be
focusing
on
that?
How
should
we
be
focusing
that?
A
E
D
E
Be
lessened,
but
parking
is
certainly.
You
know
a
common
issue
that
I
think
as
housing
gets
more
dense,
you're,
not
typically
going
to
see
really
any
projects
building
to
the
city's
current
parking
requirements,
whether
they're,
overcoming
that
through
density,
bonus,
law
or
not
so
I
think
it
would
be
fair
to
say
if
you
wanted
to
consider
looking
at
the
parking
standards
to
sort
of
get
them
more
in
line
with
enabling
this
development.
That
would
be
a
fair
way
to
go.
Okay,.
A
So
my
other
question
is
I,
for
example,
I
understand
at
least
I
heard
from
a
couple
people
that
the
setback
line
for
Second
Story
is
a
constraint
of
building.
You
know
more
adequate
bedroom
on
Second
Story.
Is
that
going
to
be
better
to
be
talk
about
during
our
house?
Our
general
plan
Amendment
or
is
it
can
be
part
of
the
strategy
that
we
can
instruct
the
staff
to
look
at
student.
D
Mary,
if
I
may
I
believe
you're
referring
to
maybe
single-family
housing
constraint,
but
the
housing
element
aims
at
producing
the
number
of
units.
I
know
that
CDD
is
also
working
on
objective,
objective
design
standard,
which
will
be
brought
back
to
council
for
consideration
that
will
apply
to
all
of
the
housing
product.
H
H
To
to
work
around
development
standards
that
don't
accommodate
that
density,
that
said,
I
would
say.
Looking
at
standards
like
you
know,
setting
a
parking
standard,
that's
more
realistic
than
that
density,
or
even
looking
at
other
development
standards.
I
think
that
would
be
looked
on
favorably
by
hcd
as
a
sign
that
the
Syria
city
is,
is
you
know
serious
about
eliminating
barriers
to
the
production
of
housing.
B
A
H
G
A
C
A
H
The
same
rule
applies,
so
people
can
take
advantage
of
that
online
they'll,
just
they'll
just
need
to
the
the
speaker.
That's
called
on
will
just
need
to
identify
other
speakers
with
their
their
hands
up,
and
then
those
people
who
are
identified
will
rely
on
you
on.
You
know,
acting
in
good
faith
and
lowering
your
hands.
So
we
don't
you
don't
get
twice
the
time.
Okay,.
B
B
S
Good
evening
mayor
vice
mayor
council,
members
and
City
staff,
my
name
is
shin
Pei,
Lou
and
I'm
here,
at
behalf
of
Cupertino
view
of
climate
action
team
as
they're
one
of
their
coales.
While
the
current
job
of
the
housing
element
does
mention
Sustainable
Solutions,
in
accordance
with
the
climate
action
plan
2.0,
it
fails
to
clearly
emphasize
and
promote
sustainable
solution
to
battle.
The
ongoing
climate
crisis.
Transportation
in
California
remains
to
be
a
top
sector
38
in
terms
of
missions
of
greenhouse
gases.
S
According
to
California
air
resources,
resources
board
alternate
more
green
reforms
or
Transportation
are
therefore
therefore
necessary
to
decrease
emissions
and
to
mitigate
the
effects
of
the
climate
crisis.
It's
a
housing
element
draft
fails
to
address
this
fact
by
not
promoting
use
of
public
transit
like
buses,
as
well
as
walking
biking
conjunction
with
the
planning
of
the
placement
and
building
housing.
Public
transportation
offers
some
fall
environmental
benefits,
such
as
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
reducing
air
pollutants.
S
In
addition,
Walt
briefly
mentions
mixed-use
and
denser
developments.
It
needs
to
emphasize
and
strongly
direct
to
a
variety
of
housing.
Others
in
single-family
homes
such
as
Apartments,
duplexes
and
condos,
to
promote
denser
neighborhoods,
which
are
more
sustainable
for
environments
like
hard
dependent,
Suburbia.
S
More
detailed
emphasis
should
also
be
added
for
a
mention
of
building
up
and
modifying
of
homes
in
Cupertino
to
include
to
make
it
more
sustainable,
including
adoption
of
renewable
energy
such
as
solar
panels,
green
roofs,
passive
active
solar
heating,
Eco,
slash,
eco-friendly,
recycle
building
materials,
Etc
needed
for
more
sustainable
homes
for
residents
living
here.
The
climate
crisis
is
now.
We
cannot
wait
for
more
effects
of
climate
crisis
to
come
to
push
us
into
action.
Action
must
be
taken
now,
please
put
in
more
effort
on
a
promotion.
S

Welcome
yes,
hello,
good
evening,
council
members.
Thank
you

climate
action
team,
which
I
led
for
years
in
high
school
and
I,
believe
that
the
housing
element
is
a
really
exciting
and
key
opportunity
for
Community
Cupertino
to
further
its
sustainability
goals.
T
As
a
young
person,
my
pride
for
our
city
doesn't
come
from
this
idea
of
like
a
white,
picket
fence,
single
family,
home
housing,
but
more
from
the
city's
ability
to
progress
and
adapt
for
the
need
of
the
future.
So
I
just
hope
that
the
city
can
strengthen
this
housing
element
by
a
prioritizing
progress
and
remaining
committed
to
its
climate
goals
through
higher
density,
affordable
housing
in
places
that
will
be
accessible
to
current
and
potential
future
Transit
hubs
and
promote
bikeability
walkability
in
the
city.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
U
U
It
would
have
been
18
to
17
years
old.
That
is
the
passion
that
goes
into
this
Rancho
Rinconada
was
a
crime
dump
when
I
moved
into
it.
As
a
single
female
working
in
the
tech
industry,
nobody
gave
me
a
break.
My
parents
were
scared
to
death,
they
thought
we
were
going
to
be
murdered
and
look
at
Rancho
now
we're
the
ones
that
built
it
it.
Nobody
wanted
to
move
in.
There
was
terrible
crime
rate.
U
U
I
have
four
elderly
relatives
that
are
over
90
that
require
a
great
deal
of
upkeep
I
could
have
had
a
child,
but
I
didn't
I
have
parents
that
I
would
give
my
life
for,
and
we
got
them
through
cobit,
every
single
one
of
them
in
every
condition
that
they
have
and
I
really
resent
it.
When
groups
like
hcd
lie
to
me
and
take
up
my
valuable
time
in
three
years
of
coming
here
and
then
completely
wipe
all
of
our
work
off.
Okay,
I've
got
two
seconds:
you're,
not
even
gonna,
hear
anything

Good

honorable

vice

mohand,

my

is
Jean

and
I
am
a
Cupertino
resident
I
want
to
commend
staff
for
their
hard
work,
professionalism
and
yes,
fortitude
in
providing
this
update
for
the
housing
element.
I
participated
in
all
of
the
2022
sessions,
including
the
many
many
hours
that
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
city
council
spent
on
site.
V
So
now
it's
time
for
major
revisions,
I
want
to
draw
council's
attention
to
the
20-page
document
submitted
by
Cupertino
for
all
which
provides
extensive
policy
and
program
recognitions,
which
was
inadequately
expressed
in
the
first
draft.
The
four-page
summary
table
specifically
addresses
how
the
City
can
meet
hcd
requirements
for
an
approved
housing
element.

Good
evening,

I
am

Here
in

tonight,
I
will
be
reading
to
you
a
letter
from
the
parish's
social
justice
Outreach
committee,
dear
Cupertino
city
council,
people
deserve
to
have
safe
and
affordable
places
to
live.
The
Cupertino
housing
element
is
the
play
plan
for
how
Cupertino
will
build
enough
housing
to
meet
the
diverse
needs,
people
at
every
different
stages
in
life
and
income
levels.
W
By
seizing
the
opportunity,
this
opportunity
to
be
ambitious,
real
progress
can
be
made
toward
that
goal.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
share
concerns
on
this
matter
and
we
appreciate
your
consideration
of
your
input.
Sincerely.

X
Good
evening
to
the
city,
council
and
staff,
thanks
for
allowing
me
to
speak,
my
name
is
Siddharth.
I
went
to
Elementary
School
here
in
Cupertino
over
at
Garden
Gate
I.
Currently,
work
in
Cupertino
and
I
also
happen
to
coach
badminton
team
over
at
Cupertino.
High
I
want
to
comments
in
favor
of
a
housing
element,
that's
a
compliant
with
state
law
and
one
that
emphasizes
abundant
and
affordable
housing.
X
I
hope
the
city
council
pursues
a
plan
that
accommodates
a
significantly
greater
amount
of
housing
than
previous
drafts,
both
to
avoid
losing
local
control
and
to
meet
the
scale
of
the
housing
crisis,
and
if
I
can
comment
on
the
other
agenda
item,
I
also
believe
that
the
city
should
not
oppose
SB
423.
For
the
same
reasons,
I've
seen
firsthand
the
consequences
of
inadequate
housing
Supply,
my
co-workers
and
I
have
to
commute
long
distances
to
our
offices
here,
which
contributes
to
traffic
and
pollution.
X
Few
of
us
can
consider
permanently
moving
here,
which
makes
it
hard
for
people
to
become
invested
in
this
community.
As
for
the
student
side,
coach,
most
of
them
will
have
to
either
move
away
from
their
Hometown
or
live
with
their
parents
indefinitely
and
even
at
their
young
age.
I've
seen
the
stress
this
can
cause
an
ambitious
housing
element
with
significantly
expanded
supply
of
affordable
housing
will
allow
Cupertino
to
meet
this
crisis.
It
will
benefit
the
environment,
allow
the
city
to
retain
local
control
and
help
build
a
more
resilient
and
Vibrant
Community
here.
X
I
also
hope
that
the
city
can
consider
forward-thinking
policies
such
as
increased
height
limits
and
reduced
parking
requirements
in
order
to
meet
the
school
and
I
also
feel
that
the
city
should
proactively
work
with
VTA
to
provide
improved
transit
to
serve
these
future
future
residential
developments.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
and
for
all
your
hard
work.

Good
evening,
mayor
away,
and
vice
mayor
Mohan
and
council
members
and
staff,
my
name
is
Cassandra.
Magana
I
am
the
new
assistant
manager
of
public
policy
at
West,
Valley
community
service,
so
nice
to
meet
you
all
I'm
here
today
to
advocate
for
the
populations.
The
housing
element
will
affect,
as
many
of
you
guys
know,
West
Valley,
Community
Services
serves
unhoused,
low-income
and
families
in
this
community
and
as
an
organization,
we
want
to
support
an
inclusive
housing
element
that
takes
these
populations
into
consideration
in
the
new
redress.
Y
As
this
redraft
proceeds,
we
are
here
to
show
our
support
for
affordable
housing
for
all
income
groups,
with
an
emphasis
in
unhoused
and
extremely
low
income
populations,
as
these
are
the
ones
who
are
highly
impacted
in
this
community
and
this
new
redraft.
Our
hope
is
that
city
council
takes
into
consideration
the
preservation
and
the
creation
of
a
safeguard
for
existing,
affordable
homes
and
the
families
that
live
in
it.
The
creation
of
smart
climate,
climate
friendly
projects
that
promote
various
developments
and
an
increase
access
to
Transit
corridors.
Y
And,
lastly,
we
hope
that
the
new
draft
will
consider
homelessness
and
the
development
on
transitional
housing.
Self,
safe
shelters
and
additional
resources
for
in-house
populations.
We
are
also
here
as
an
ally
for
Cupertino,
for
all,
so
I
will
support
them
in
their
20-page
policy
and
program
summary.
Thank
you.

K
Hello
good
evening
mayor
vice
mayor,
council,
members
and
staff,
my
name
is
Philip
and
I
went
to
high
school
at
Monte.
Vista
and
I
also
went
to
dance
college.
So,
as
we've
seen
in
weeks
previous,
we
have
had
sequences
of
record-breaking
global
temperatures.
There
was
an
ice
flood
in
Italy
last
weekend.
Sicily
is
literally
on
fire
and
sweltering
heat
and
drought
is
here
in
California.
K
The
city
of
Cupertino
has
a
vital
opportunity
to
address
the
housing
crisis,
as
well
as
the
climate
crisis
at
a
municipal
level,
bypassing
an
ambitious
housing
element
that
plans
for
Transit
oriented
development,
where
we
can
rely
Less
on
our
cars
and
be
able
to
walk
bike
transit
to
the
places
we
need.
Young
families
and
seniors
are
also
priced
out
and
cannot
afford
to
live
in
Cupertino
and,
as
a
consequence,
our
schools
are
losing
enrollment
and
our
city
services
and
Parks
lose
funding.
K
Let
us
support
our
city
with
adequate
and
accessible
housing
for
young
families,
seniors
students
and
Cupertino
workers.
If
it
wasn't
clear
today,
I'm
here
to
speak
in
support
of
a
compliant,
ambitious
housing
element,
including
the
policies
and
program
recommendations
from
Cupertino
for
all,
on
housing,
production,
resident
protections
and
preservation
of
homes,
so
let's
use
this
crucial
opportunity
to
do
our
housing
element
process
right.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
B
P
Good
evening,
mayor
council,
members
and
staff,
I'm
Nicole
and
I'm
a
born
and
raised
Cupertino
resident,
we
have
a
huge
opportunity
to
pass
an
ambitious
housing
element
for
the
city
of
Cupertino.
California
is
currently
in
a
massive
housing
crisis
and
the
only
way
to
address
that
is
to
provide
adequate
housing
for
those
who
need
it
and
a
lot
of
people
need
it.
There
are
Apple
employees,
college
students
and
everyone
in
between
who
would
love
to
live
where
they
need
to
go
and
we
can
address
those
needs.
P
We
are
also
facing
climate
disasters
more
frequently
and
intensely
with
droughts
and
floods
worldwide,
and
a
huge
source
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions
from
California
are
from
single
occupancy.
Vehicles
Cupertino
can
address
this
at
the
city
level
by
approving
plans
that
prioritize
Transit
oriented
development,
providing
provide
housing
accessible
to
Transit,
so
citizens
can
live
where
they
work,
so
they
can
walk
bike
or
take
transit.
There
I
urge
the
city
council
to
pass
an
ambitious
housing
element,
including
the
policy
and
program
recommendations
from
Cupertino.
P
B
Z
Z
Z
I
was
gonna
tag
team
with
Sean
Hughes,
our
policy
director
to
provide
an
overview
of
our
policy
and
program
summary
menu
from
Cupertino
for
all,
underneath
all
of
the
technical
aspects
of
the
housing
element.
Fundamentally,
this
is
about
whether
or
not
we
can
allow
people
of
all
backgrounds
to
be
able
to
call
a
place
like
Cupertino
Home,
a
high
opportunity
Zone
that
has
given
so
much
to
people
like
myself,
who
grew
up
here
and
to
each
of
you
on
the
dice
as
well.
Z
That
also
means
being
willing
to
look
into
the
mirror
and
see
when
change
is
important
and
when
it's
necessary
and
the
housing
element
is
a
really
beautiful
opportunity.
That
I
think
that
we
shouldn't
view
as
a
cost,
but
rather
as
a
benefit,
and
we
can
leverage
that
to
get
new
sources
of
revenue,
especially
as
we
talk
about
potential
huge
budget
constraints
that
might
be
coming
up
as
well
as
just
an
opportunity
for
us
to
better
fund.
Our
schools
provide
more
enrollment
and
just
have
more
city
services
in
general
and
more
vibrant
spaces.
Z
B
AA
Can
you
all
hear
me
yes
good
evening,
mayor
way
and
honorable
council
members,
my
name
is
Eric
baikon
I
am
the
President
of
the
Silicon
Valley
young
Dems,
the
city
of
Cupertino,
finds
itself
in
the
critical
moment
of
being
a
city
that
creates
housing,
a
housing
element
that
is
inclusive
and
affordable
to
its
denizens
or
one
that
does
the
opposite.
The
community
itself
faces
an
affordability
crisis
that
even
households
earning
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
annually
struggle
to
afford
apartments
with
rents
over
three
thousand
dollars
a
month
and
home
prices.
AA
AA
AA
Students
at
the
Anza
currently
experience
the
highest
level
of
insecure
insecurity,
as
evidenced
by
2020's
basic
needs
survey
that
revealed
that
40
of
students
were
facing
housing,
insecurity
and
12
were
experiencing
homelessness.
Consequently,
these
students
have
been
deprived
of
suitable
living
conditions
of
the
service
that
continues
to
affect
many
students
in
2023.
In
light
of
this,
as
Cupertino
proceeds
with
developing
a
new
housing
element,
we
strongly
urge
implementation
of
subsequent
programs
policies
and
housing
sites
inventory
locations
that
are
aligned
with
specific
needs
of
the
Anza
College
students.
B
AB
AB
AC
We're
adding
a
significant
amount
of
housing
is
what
he
said,
and
that
alone
supports
the
need
to
preserve
the
retail
we
have.
You
can't
have
a
walkable
bikeable
City.
If
all
you
have
is
housing
and
office,
people
need
to
do
other
things.
They
can't
lose
what
we
have,
and
we
already
don't
have
enough
essential
retail
to
support
what
we
have
living
here
already.
Thank.
B
L
L
If
a
the
project
has
not
been
approved
by
the
city
or
county,
if
the
local
jurisdiction
has
put
obstacles
in
the
way
of
the
project,
if
the
property
owner
has
stated
that
they
will
not
be
proceeding
or
if
the
project
will
not
be
built,
or
at
least
started
prior
to
the
end
of
the
cycle-
and
none
of
these
are
the
case
in
Cupertino.
If
you
look
at
the
five
projects
in
the
current
Arena,
one
has
been
completed.
Veranda
one
is
under
construction,
Westport
Marina
will
begin
Demolition
and
construction
by
2025..
L
The
rise
which
is
50,
affordable,
presumably
will
begin
construction
once
they
have
completed
their
cleanup
of
the
site
and
last
October
former
mayor
Paul
and
myself.
We
met
with
Irvine
Company
down
in
Long
Beach
during
the
league
of
California
cities
conference,
and
they
have
not
abandoned
The
Hamptons
project.
The
issue
which
they
stated
to
us
was
you
know
currently
the
cost
of
building.
L
B
We
have
19
people
with
their
hands
raised
well
within
the
nine-minute
limit.
Just
a
reminder,
we
have
two
minutes
allowance
for
the
public
comment.
If
you
are
designating
a
person
to
speak
as
a
group,
you
need
five
people
pulling
their
time
and
all
five
people
must
have
their
hands
raised.
So
we'll
start
with
Janet
van
zoren,
followed
by
Henry,
with
Jaja,
followed
by
Madden

Choi
welcome,
Janet.

Well
I
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
the
as
you
can
see
on
the
screen
that
the
California
Department
of
Developmental
Disability,
Services
Act
and
the
U.S
Supreme
Court's
1999
Olmsted
decision
entitled
people
with
developmental
disabilities
to
receive
community-based
services
that
allow
them
to
live
in
the
least
restrictive,
Community
setting.
Furthermore,
local
jurisdictions
are
required
to
act,
assess
and
plan
specifically
for
the
housing
needs
of
people
with
developmental
disabilities
in
their
in
their
housing
elements.

Hello,
mayor
and
mayor
members
of
the
city
council,
my
name
is
Henry
mujaya
I
am
a
student
of
Cupertino
I
care,
deeply
about
issues
of
affordable
housing
and
the
quality
of
our
housing
element.
And
let
me
just
start
with
my
story.
Honestly:
I
moved
to
Cupertino
I
came
from
a
place
on
the
east
coast
of
the
United
States,
where
rent
there
was
rent
control
and
I
came
to
Cupertino,
where
there
was
a
place
without
rent
control.
Rent
prices
were
going
through
the
roof
house.
AE
Prices
are
going
through
the
roof
and
I'm
here
I'm
a
student
trying
to
go
and
I
go
to
Cupertino
High
School
right
now,
Cupertino
High
School
is
an
amazing
school.
It's
an
amazing
school
and
having
an
ambitious
housing
element
and
making
housing
affordable
for
everyone
is
something
that
really
really
should
be
done
to
give
every
student
that
chance
to
go
to
Cupertino
High
School,
especially
when
Cupertino
High
School
offers
like
enriching
programs
education.
There
is
great
the
community.
AE
There
is
great
and
the
programs
there
also
great
I,
know
I'm
I
I
heard,
like
Siddharth
Siddharth
from
the
Cupertino
badminton
team,
so
yeah
just
an
example
of
one
of
the
amazing
programs
at
Cupertino,
High,
School
and
honestly.
If
we
can
get
this
ambitious
housing
element
to
work,
we
can
have
a
place
where
every
student
comes
and
enjoys
their
time
in
Cupertino.
Additionally,
student
enrollment

I
took

both

I
love
hanging
out
with
my

in

summer
I'm
here
to
voice
my
strong
support
for
an
ambitious
housing
element
that
includes
the
policy
and
program
recommendations.
This
element
should
focus
on
housing,
production
and
protections
for
tenants
by
aiming
for
Homes
at
all
income
levels,
addressing
Regional
Fair,
Housing
disparities
and
leveraging
new
state
housing
laws.
AF
We
can
maximize
affordability
in
Cupertino
Cupertino
is
such
an
amazing
City
with
thousands
of
good
jobs,
natural
beauty,
plentiful
nature
and
trails
and
close
access
to
the
entire
South
Bay.
By
approving
housing
projects
that
promote
walking
biking,
public
transit,
we
can
make
significant
strides
in
combating
climate
change.
By
slashing
commute
times
we
can
slash
carbon
emissions.
AF
This
is
our
chance
to
restart
the
housing
element
process
and
do
it
right
developments
like
Cupertino
Maine.
It's
such
a
beautiful
neighborhood,
beautiful,
neighborhood
and
shopping
center.
We
should
have
more
in
beautiful
neighborhoods
and
shopping
centers
like
that
I
just
I,
don't
know:
I
love,
Cupertino
I'm,
not
an
expert
in
housing,
but
I.
Just
think
that
young
people,
like
me,
seniors
people
who
are
low
income
deserve
a
chance
to
live
in
this
beautiful
city.

Good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
Ryan
Globus
and
I
work
at
Apple
I'm,
a
software
engineer,
although
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
myself
tonight
and
I,
want
to
call
in
and
ask
the
council
to
support
a
compliant
and
ambitious
housing
element
following
some
of
the
recommendations
from
Cupertino
for
all
and
when
it's
I
say
ambitious,
I
really
mean
it.
We
need
to
go
above
and
beyond
just
the
arena
minimums
we
are
in
a
crisis.
J
You
know
even
for
folks
that
are
working
at
Apple,
like
my
co-workers,
there's
a
sense
of
from
a
lot
of
my
co-workers,
especially
those
who
are
in
their
20s.
You
know
these
are
incredibly
heart,
hard-working
people
they're
smart,
they're
kind,
but
there's
a
sense
that
they
have
limited
time
here,
because
it's
so
expensive
and
they'll
work
here
as
long
as
they
can,
but
when
they
want
to
buy
a
home
or
have
kids
and
send
them
to
good
schools.

Hello
mayor
way
vice
mayor
Mohan,
city,
council
members
and
City
staff,
I'm
Glenn
fischler,
I've
been
a
Cupertino
resident
since
1997
and
I'm
representing
myself.
I'm
excited
to
see
this
topic
on
tonight's
agenda
as
I
care.
Deeply
about
the
need
for
the
city
to
address
its
diverse
housing
needs
at
all
income
levels,
especially
low
income
and
sustainable
Community
Development
for
the
next
revision
of
cupertino's
housing
element.
AG
B
AH
Good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
John.
Zhao
I
serve
on
the
bicycle
pedestrian
commission,
but
I'm
speaking
for
myself,
only
I
grew
up
in
the
city
of
Cupertino.
I
went
through
Eaton
Lawson,
high
school
and
I
still
live
here
right
now
and
I'm
speaking
in
support
of
an
ambitious
compliant
housing
element
I
urge
the
city
council
to
do
whatever
we
can
to
ensure
that
we
can
build
the
housing
and
plan
for
the
type
of
community
that
we
need
to
address.
The
needs
of
everyone
who
is
wanting
to
live
here.
AH
I
am
support
Cupertino
for
all's
policy
and
program
recommendations,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
of
them.
One
thing
I
do
want
to
highlight
is
that
we
must
Implement
strong
protections
for
renters
and
preserve,
affordable
homes
that
we
currently
have
so
thinking
about
the
three
p's
not
just
to
produce,
but
to
preserve
and
to
protect
I.
Think
the
city
should
also
consider
additional
programs
that
don't
simply
rely
on
Market
solutions
for
housing.
AH
So
one
example
of
this
is
using
a
tool
like
a
community
land
trust
to
take
homes
out
of
the
speculative
housing
market
and
make
them
permanently
affordable.
We
already
have
local
organizations
that
are
doing
this,
like
the
South
Bay
Community
Land
Trust,
and
we
can
also
explore
the
possibility
of
working
with
the
tamian
nation,
the
indigenous
people
of
this
land
and
returning
land
to
their
Stuart
stewardship.
So
just
want
to
encourage
the
city
council
to
explore
all
the
different
Innovative
possibilities
that
are
available
to
us.
Thank
you
for
your
attending.

My
hope
is
that
today,
city

will
strengthen
the
housing
element
by
making
sure
that
we
have
a
plan
that
will
pass
and
is
in
compliance
with
the
state
law.

We
need
to
preserve
the
existing,
affordable
housing
in
the
city
of

and
also
to
create
opportunities
for
the
unhoused
by
learning
from
other
community
effort,
such
as
motel
vouchers
for
the
unhoused
population,
especially
families
with

I,
just
hope
that
you
pursue
this
ambitiously
I,
also
like
the
Cupertino

all
policy
recommendations
and
would
like
to
see
just
more

that
is
Affordable

can
provide

you.
B
AK
Hello,
as
Neil
mentioned,
I
would
like
to
discuss
some
brief
examples
in
Cupertino
for
hours,
recommendations
as
Guided
by
the
three
principles
of
production
preservation
and
production,
the
production
of
home
at
all
income
levels,
but
in
particular
for
community
members
of
lower
incomes.
It's
crucial
for
giving
all
parts
of
our
community
the
chance
to
collect
Cupertino
Home.
AK
But,
more
importantly,
all
of
them
aim
to
create
an
environment
where
all
of
our
communities
houses,
communities,
housing
needs,
can
be
met
by
allowing
and
encouraging
all
the
kinds
of
homes
necessary
to
meet.
Those
needs.
Cfa
also
focuses
on
the
preservation
of
affordable
housing
opportunities
and
the
protection
of
our
ability
to
access
those
opportunities
working
with
non-profits,
establishing
a
Copa
process.
Creating
eviction,
housing,
supporting
Center
or
establishing
a
rental
registry
will
help
renters
homeowners
and
landlords
alike
for
all,
with
better
protections,
information
and
transparency
for
all
parties
involved.
AK
These
policies
come
together
to
build
an
ambitious
housing
element,
an
element
that
creates
a
better
vision
for
Cupertino,
a
vision
that
is
more
sustainable,
inclusive
and
Progressive
than
our
home
today.
We
hope
that
our
city
and
Community
can
come
together
to
build
and
support
a
vision
of
this
generation
and
many
need
to
come.
Thank
you.
B
AL
Okay,
hi
hello,
mayor
members
of
the
city
council.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
Sashi
Vigor
I'm
a
26
year
resident
of
Cupertino
I
also
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
all
the
hard
work.
They've
done
on
this
I
care,
deeply
about
the
issues
of
affordable
housing
and
the
quality
of
life
here
in
Cupertino.
The
housing
element
submitted
by
the
previous
Council
was
well
thought
out
and
an
intelligent
plan
that
catered
to
all
income
level.
I
believe
the
city
council
must
not
waste
any
more
time.
AL
AL
The
current
housing
element
plan
developed
by
the
previous
Council
works
because
one
we've
met
three
or
four,
more
importantly,
the
extremely
low
and
low
income
categories,
helping
the
Anza
students,
teachers,
new
families,
seniors
and
low-wage
workers,
many
of
whom
have
shared
their
stories
today,
two,
the
city
has
done
its
part
for
the
sick
cycle.
All
possible
sites
have
been
identified,
but
the
city
does
not
control
housing
production.
Many
young
people
who
spoke
before
me
have
asked
you
to
increase
housing,
housing
production.
The
devil
is
in
the
detail.
AL
You
can
only
approve,
you
cannot
make
develop
the
developers
produce,
even
if
you
add
it
in
thousand
more
sites,
there's
no
guarantee
nobody
can
provide
a
guarantee
that
it
will.
They
will
be
built
in
eight
years.
We
all
deserve
nice,
sustainable
public
spaces
where
we
can
live
in
a
Vibrant
Community.
We
don't
want
to
create
a
New,
York
or
San
Francisco
right
here.
Please
accept
all
pipeline
projects.
We
cannot
have
SP
35
without
all
the
units
its
CD
is
asking
for
details
provide
them
the
details,
don't
start
from
scratch.
Thank
you.
B

AM
Good
evening,
mayor
way
vice
mayor,
Mohan
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Jennifer
Sheeran
and
I'm,
a
resident
of
Cupertino
I'm.
Speaking
on
behalf
of
only
myself
tonight,
I
ask
you
tonight
to
support
an
aspirational
housing
element.
We
must
move
forward
towards
a
compliant
housing
element
which
meets
the
needs
of
our
community
at
all
income
levels
and
works
on
our
City's
best
interests.
AM
We
need
to
make
sure
that
new
homes
get
built
and
a
good
plan
will
do
that.
It
should
be
built
in
places
that
allow
new
residents
to
walk
and
bike
and
take
transit
to
local
destinations,
pushing
housing
to
corners
of
the
city
with
little
services
in
the
in
the
name
of
balance,
quote
unquote,
maybe
politically
expedient,
but
provides
little
value
to
potential
residents,
especially
lower
income
residents.
A
good
plan
also
means
not
having
our
housing
element
rely
on
projects
that
are
likely
never
to
get
built,
such
as
the
Hamptons
on
Wolf.
AM
We
appear
to
have
done
that
during
the
last
cycle
and
the
previous
plan
submitted
this
cycle,
I
heard
Mr
Connolly,
say
in
the
staff
presentation
that
the
city
can't
control
whether
something
gets
built.
We
can,
however,
pick
sites
that
are
more
likely,
rather
than
less
likely
to
produce
housing.
We
can
also
encourage
development
in
places
where
Transit
and
Retail
are
already
available
and
are
attractive
places
for
developers
to
build
and
for
people
to
live.
Adding
adus
is
not
going
to
get
us
to
our
Arena
targets.
AM
I
also
heard
tonight
from
several
speakers
from
Cupertino
for
all
I
have
read
their
list
of
policy
and
program
recommendations.
I
encourage
you
to
use
those
as
your
guidelines.
They
have
spent
an
exhaustive
amount
of
time
researching
and
considering
this
issue
carefully.
Implementing
those
recommendations
will
make
cupertino's
revamped
housing
element,
not
only
an
excellent
plan
but,
most
importantly,
a
compliant
plan.
Thank
you
for
considering
my
input
tonight
and
your
work
on
behalf
of
Cupertino.
I
Good
evening
Council
and
staff,
my
name
is
Camille
mashian
and
I
would
like
to
speak
tonight
in
support
of
an
ambitious
housing
element
in
compliance
with
state
law.
I
think
the
policy
and
programs
proposed
by
Cupertino
for
all
are
the
right
path
to
meeting
this
goal.
Please
take
this
opportunity
to
get
the
housing
element
right,
so
we
can
begin
to
tackle
the
housing
crisis
in
the
coming
decade.
I
Fundamentally,
the
reason
retail
is
struggling
is
because
we
have
not
built
a
community
that
can
sustain
the
retail
that
it
once
could.
Without
adding
more
housing
and
bringing
in
new
residents,
we
will
continue
to
bleed
retail
locations,
just
as
we
have
lost
school
and
more
enrollment
and
have
driven
out
essential
workers.
These
issues
are
linked
if
I
may
speak
on
the
other
agenda
item
as
well.
I
would
also
strongly
urge
the
council
not
to
oppose
sb423.
They
would
not
reflect.
B
I
B
O
Good
evening,
Council
and
staff,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
service
and
this
opportunity
to
contribute
by
I
have
lived
in
Cupertino
for
35
years
and
I've
only
embrace
the
migration
that
we're
going
to
through
my
primary
Point
regard
is
with
regard
to
adus
auxiliary
dwelling
units.
I
believe
that
they
are
really
a
win-win
opportunity.
O
Climate
or
in
each
neighborhood
we
won't
have
rich
people
in
one
neighborhood
and
poor
people
in
another
one,
so
they
really
seem
like
what
win-win
what's
needed
is
a
streamlined
process
for
permitting
installing
and
setting
up
the
infrastructure,
such
as
the
power
and
the
sewage
and
the,
and
then
in
the
last
phase.
The
construction
I
think
that
we
should
have
a
city
employee
devoted
to
racing
this
kids
adus
throughout
the
city.
O
B
AN
Good
evening
Council
and
staff,
my
name
is
Gory
and
I
would
like
to
commend
staff
for
their
work
on
their
presentation
tonight,
I
would
like
to
support
an
ambitious
housing
element
that
is
also
compliant
with
State
policies,
as
we
have
seen
in
the
feedback
letter.
The
current
draft
that
we
have
is
not
compliant
so
I
would
urge
Cupertino
to
create
a
housing
element
that
is
ambitious
and
also
creates
opportunities
for
those
who
are
low
income
and
unhoused.
AN
Low-Income
housing
is
really
important
in
Cupertino,
not
only
to
drive
up
enrollment
and
residence
opportunity,
but
also
to
support
residents
who
are
currently
living
in
Cupertino
and
who
need
access
to
affordable
housing.
It
is
also
important
that
we
support
support
our
unhoused
population,
either
through
transitional
housing
or
some
of
the
other
methods
that
West
Valley
Community
Services
mentioned
today.
AN
AO
Every
time
we
talk
about
Cooper,
vertino's,
future
housing
projects
conversations
get
needed.
We
can
all
agree,
however,
that
we
want
the
best
for
Cupertino.
You
heard
tonight
that
only
40s
were
compliant
and
on
the
right
path
with
their
housing
element.
It
should
bother
you
that
our
city,
Cupertino,
is
not
one
of
these
four.
It
should
bother
you
Cupertino
our
city,
a
Trailblazer,
and
so
many
Innovations
is
failing
its
Community
by
falling
so
far
behind.
It
should
not
only
bother
you,
but
now
compel
you
to
act
on
the
immense
amount
of
consistent
feedback.
AO
N
Good,
first
of
all,
thank
you
for
having
this
discussion.
I
know
you
heard
it
just
a
million
time
compliant,
and
this
is
awesome
yeah.
The
idea
of
the
I
assume
you're
all
familiar
with
that
I
just
want
to
also
just
emphasize
what
everyone
else
is
saying.
This
is
the
very
concerning
situation
that
this
whole
place
getting
expensive
and
especially
extremely
unlivable
for
young
people,
who
many
I
know
have
no
choice
but
to
move
out,
because
you
know
it's
just
not
worth
sticking
around
I'm.
N
Obviously,
I
cannot,
you
know
emphasize
enough
on
affordable
housing.
I
know
everyone
else
has
already
said
it.
So
I
don't
want
to
predict
what
already
been
said
over
and
over
again
just
I
just
want
to
say
the
fact
that
you
know
this
issue
absolutely
cannot
be
ignored
and
the
fact
that
our
leadership
has
failed
to
provide
adequate
pollution
in
the
past
is
extremely
rewarding.
N
N
B
A
Thank
you.
Madison
clerk
really
appreciate
your
support.
All
the
time
and
I
want
to
thank
all
the
public
who
made
comments.
Every
comment
is
important
to
us.
I
am
going
to
end
the
public
comment
period
and
bring
the
discussion
back
to
council,
and
you
know,
in
order
for
the
council
to
have
a
meaningful
discussion.
I
would
love
to
attend,
entertain
a
motion
and
a
second
to
start.
A
discussion.
C
A
C
First,
with
respect
to
the
site
inventory
that
staff
revised
the
traffic
site
inventory
to
a
include
all
Tier,
1
and
tier
2
sites
and
revise
their
proposed
densities
in
response
to
outreach
to
Property
Owners
as
appropriate
B
include
appropriate
Heart
of
the
City
Parcels
eligible
for
Housing
Development
under
AB
2011,
and
consider
densities
and
Heights
above
the
ab
2011
Baseline.
In
order
to
maintain
other
development
standards
and
place,
making
opportunities,
C
modify
the
number
of
expected
homes
from
pipeline
projects
in
accordance
with
hcd
feedback
and
consultant
advice.
A
A
The
other
is
for
the
development
of
the
requirement
areas
or
policies
to
programs
I.
You
know
on
one
on
on
all
the
comments.
One
of
them
really
stick
to
me
is
housing
for
the
Anza
students
are
any
of
these.
You
know
proposed
consideration,
for
staff
could
produce
housing,
for
he
has
a
student
specifically.
C
So,
by
way
of
response,
there's
a
couple
of
things:
one,
the
six
required
areas
for
policy
and
Analysis
overlap
to
a
significant
degree.
Within
this
framework
of
focus
and
prioritization
I
would
say
that
facilitating
missing
middle
housing
in
particular
speaks
to
that,
as
would
the
very
last
Point
assisting
lowest
income,
housing,
households.
A
C
A
C
G
G
G
G
E
G
E
G
D
Through
the
chair,
if
I
may,
if
we
can
I
mean
I,
think
this
is
again
some
of
the
theoretical
or
hypothetical
questions
so
sequa
and
entitlement.
There
are
two
different
processes:
some
of
the
developments
regardless,
if
they're
in
housing
element,
they
may
or
may
not
be
subject
to
SQL,
so
I
I,
don't
know
if
you're
trying
to
ask
whether
or
not
SQL
is
going
to
apply
to
certain
projects
or
how
is
that
going
to
affect
the.
G
H
Current
motion
I,
just
if
we
could
start
council
member
child's
time
I
just-
would
want
to
remind
everybody,
our
other
council
members,
that
this
is
their
opportunity
to
to
state
whether
they
support
the
current
motion
or
whether
they'd
make
a
different
motion.
I
mean
they
have
had
time
for
questions
earlier
and
they
so
I
mean
I.
Think
the
mayor
could
allow
council
members
to
use
their
time
to
ask
more
questions,
but
they
might
not
be
able
to
to
state
their
abuse
on
the
current
motion
or
make
other
motions.
G
This
is
on
the
current
motion,
so
I'm
trying
to
understand
the
current
motion
likely
the
number
of
units
might
be
not
5000
might
be
ten
thousand
so
I,
don't
know
if
we're
adding
tier
one
tier
2
plus
2011
sites,
so
that-
and
this
quote
ambitious
housing
plan,
so
I'm
just
trying
others
to
understand.
What's
the
difference,
if
we
have
identified
five
thousand
versus
ten
thousand,
it
seems
it's
just
a
label.
It
doesn't
really
make
a
real
difference
for
most
of
the
smaller
development.
D
If
I
through
the
chair
mayor,
if
I
can
I
think
this
is
really
a
a
response
that
you
need
to
take
a
couple
steps
back
earlier
during
Luke's
presentation,
there
was
an
emphasis
that
hcd's
comment
mentioned,
that
we
heavily
relied
on
Pipeline
projects.
So
we
need
to
reduce
that
number
and
how
do
we
make
up
offset
the
number
and
knowing
that
AB
2011
is
going
to
produce
some
numbers
so
we're
trying
to
use
our
best
judgment
through
staff
and
also
through
the
consultant
to
come
to
that
Arena
buffer?
G
C
I'll
briefly,
respond
that
the
purpose
of
the
expression
as
appropriate
is
there
to
imbue
staff
with
the
ability
and
discretion
to
make
good
choices.
I
asked
a
number
of
questions
earlier.
When
we
were
on
the
topic
of
ab2011
as
to
whether,
for
example,
they
would
look
to
include
a
site
that
was
up
to
20
acres,
because
ab2011
can
affect
a
site
that
is
up
to
20
acres
and
they
gave
a
response
that
I
thought
was
reasonable.
C
A
A
C
So
I
tried
to
cover
that
at
the
very
beginning,
which
is
that,
in
addition
to
collecting
Council
input
in
Open
Session,
meaning
you
can
make
all
the
comments
you
like
as
to
which
policies
you
prefer.
What
you'd
like
to
see
what
you
perhaps
saw
in
in
anybody
else's
advocacy
letter
that
you
really
wanted
to
see
included
so
that
staff
can
take
that
on
board
I'm
trying
to
embrace
what
everyone
else
has
to
offer
here.
But
I'm
also
trying
to
ensure
that
there
is
some
sort
of
Direction.
That's
coherent.
F
Thank
you
I.
So
there
are,
there
appears
to
be
a
reference
to
the
Cupertino
for
all
letter
that
was
set
in,
and
we
don't
have
a
copy
of
this
up
for
members
of
the
public
to
see,
and
it
sounds
like
this
motion
is
trying
to
to
pass
all
of
the
items.
It's
a
there's
a
20-page
letter.
It
sounds
like
you're
trying
to
pass
all
of
those
those
items
without
having
a
an
analysis
or
a
listing
for
that.
F
So
I
would
prefer,
because
we're
talking
about
policies
that
we
would
actually
see
all
of
these
policies
that
are
being
proposed
brought
up.
You
know,
do
we?
Are
you
looking
at
rent
control?
Are
you
looking
at
vacancy
tax?
Are
you
looking
at
removing
impact
fees
for
Parkland
and
there
so
that
we
should
be
looking
at
all
of
these
as
a
list
us
to
see
what
is
is
actually
being
proposed
before
we?
F
It
just
seems
like
pass
it
and
find
out,
what's
in
it
and
I,
think
that
that's
fraught
with
some
some
potential
issues
where
we're
sending
staff
off
with
with
an
unknown
list
to
go
work
with
that
we
haven't
spoken
about
so
anyway.
I
would
like
to
have
us
go
through
to
go
through
the
list.
It's
going
to
take
more
time,
but
this
was
kind
of
a.
This
is
a
lengthy
motion
which
has
embedded
within
it
another
document
that
we
need
to
talk
about
so
I
can't
support
this
motion.
I,
don't
know.
What's
in
it,.
C
You
have
an
answer
for
that
by
the
way,
a
very
simple
answer.
The
CFA
letter
appears
to
have
been
submitted
yesterday.
It
appears
in
written
Communications
for
our
use
as
of
last
night,
so
that
information
has
been
there.
It's
been
available
for
the
public
to
examine
for
at
least
24
hours.
At
this
point
and
I
know
that
staff
is
certainly
aware
of
it.
You
can
confirm
that
you
receive
the
letter.
Yes,.
C
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
from
I
I
do
have
a
question
on
the
process.
We
are
here
to
discuss
what
we
want
the
higher
the
directions
to
the
staff
to
work
on
the
housing
element
and
council
members
from
motion
to
me
can
be
added,
can
be
friendly.
Amendment
can
really
work
through
this
and
if
council
members
want
to
add
specific
directions
like
what
I
just
did
added
the
housing
for
the
Anza
students,
I
think
we
are
at
the
liberty
of
doing
that,
so
that
so
that's
my
understanding.
C
I
think
that's
largely
accurate
I
am
I
would
prefer
in
having
converse
with
staff
in
advance
to
try
to
to
keep
this
on
the
level
of
priorities
so
that
there
is
direction
that
is
clear,
but
not
so
intrusive
that
we
are
telling
them.
Oh,
you
must
produce.
Only
this
I
have
seen
that
produce
bad
results
in
San
Jose.
We're
very
specific
policies
were
prescribed
by
one
Council
reversed
by
another,
and
then
the
city
was
left
without
an
entire
policy
prescription
for
an
entire
required
area.
That's
not
I
think
where
we
want
to
be
so.
C
I
want
to
give
staff
the
flexibility
to
be
able
to
look
at
a
variety
of
policy
prescriptions.
Some
of
them
will
get
included.
Some
of
them
won't
that's
really
up
to
them,
to
recommend
to
us
and
to
supply
to
hcd
as
see
fit.
But
if
there's
something
you
really
want
to
flag
that
is
important
to
you,
then
now's
a
good
time.
A
C
M
E
If
I
could
try
another
there's
a
number
of
things
mentioned,
but
in
terms
of
could
they
fit
into
the
required
categories
of
the
housing
element?
I
think
the
majority
of
them
could
I
I
offhand
I
couldn't
say
going
through
every
one
of
them,
but
the
majority
of
these
could
be
I.
Think
what
we're
looking
for
tonight
was
sort
of
the
support
from
the
Council
on
particular
items.
So
a
lot
of
these
are
things
you
would
typically
see
in
housing
elements
there
there's
nothing
there
that
I
haven't
seen
in
some
other
City's
housing
element,
I.
E
Think
the
document
even
references,
what
other
cities
have
done,
so
these
could
certainly
fit
within
those
broad
categories.
The
the
six
items
that
we
covered
but
I'm
not
sure
the
total
number
regret
to
get
into
all
of
those
right
now
it
I
guess
if
there
were
particular
areas
again
if
you're
gonna,
if
you
want
to
make
a
more
focused
motion
than
what
I
think
we
have
on
the
table,
maybe
some
of
those
could
be
called
out
as
particularly.
E
Of
concern
for
the
Cupertino
Community
or
for
the
city
council,
but
I
think
that
you
know
the
category
of
programs
and
policies
is
very
broad
by
its
very
nature
and
again,
all
all
of
these
areas,
the
six
areas
we
cited
they
do
need
to
be
addressed.
In
some
capacity
you
could
have
policies
and
programs
even
outside
of
those
areas.
If,
if
you
so
wanted
so
again,
there's
there's
a
lot
in
that
document.
E
M
A
Vice
mayor
child,
oh
vice
mayor,
Mohan
and
council
member
child
has
used
up
on
time,
but
because
remember
when
you
have
three
minutes
and
councilman
from
you,
have
three
minutes:
I
have
a
couple
of
minutes.
Do
you
want
to
finish
this
round
of
a
question
or
a
discussion?
So
if
not
I
want
to
use
my
couple
minutes
to
ask
this
question
I
think
if
I
understand
councilmember
child's
concern
is
with
this
very
broad
instruction
for
staff
to
do
with
tier
one
tier
two
plus
order
eligible
2011
sites.
Were
you
be
coming
with
a
housing
element?
A
E
No
I,
don't
that's
not
the
intent,
I
think
when
we
submitted
the
housing
element
on
sites.
The
goal
was
to
have
those
stand,
but
knowing
that
some
sites
have
come
into
question,
the
goal
is
to
offset
that
it's
not
to
create-
or
you
know,
double
the
arena.
For
instance.
Well,
he
said
we're
going
to
have
an
alternative
in
the
eir.
C
Three
minutes
I
was
just
again
to
reiterate
for
everyone.
If
there
are
things
you'd
like
to
see
in
it,
you
know
this
is
the
time
to
speak
up,
because
the
idea
behind
the
motion
is
to
allow
you
to
to
note
what
those
things
are.
So,
for
example,
under
the
section,
the
priority
facilitating
missing
middle
housing
to
affirmatively,
further
fair
housing
that
this
speaks
very
specifically
to
those
housing
projects
that
are
smaller.
C
These
are
duplexes
they're,
triplexes,
they're,
quads
they're,
things
that
are
affected
by
you
know
very
specific
development
standards
in
our
zoning
code.
That
are
mentioned,
for
example,
in
the
CFA
letter
that
were
the
discussion
up
here
as
well.
I
think
that
that's
a
very
important
fact
considering
even
the
the
R1
zoning
standards,
considering
the
likely
passage
of
SB
450,
which
would
nullify
our
sb9
or
implementation
ordinance.
C
If,
if
that's
the
case
and
that's
a
means
for
us
to
produce
housing,
that
is
more
naturally
affordable
because
of
the
size
that
it
is,
then
I
think
that
we
should
be
taking
advantage
of
those
sorts
of
opportunities.
So
I'd
signal
that,
right
now
as
a
something
that
sits
inside
of
that
that
piece
I
would
also
emphasize
some
of
the
things
that
were
commented
with
regard
to
teacher
housing.
C
I,
don't
want
to
see
us
completely
give
up
on
on
that
in
terms
of
being
able
to
perhaps
incentivize
alternatives
for
developers
to
take
advantage
of
whether
that
means
that
we
give
relief
on
some
other
topic
instead.
Usage
of
the
density
bonus
law
to
me
is
a
symptom.
That
symptom
is
that
we
have
too
restrictive
of
zoning
standards
and
the
reason
that
it's
being
exercised
is
in
order
to
get
away
from
those
things.
C
G
C
It
through
the
mayor,
yes,
I,
will
reread
that
section
collect
all
input
from
letters
and
comments
submitted
for
today's
meeting,
especially
the
calls
for
an
ambitious
housing
element
and
examine
the
suggested
policies,
programs
and
concerns
for
analysis
and
potential
inclusion
in
the
revised
draft.
That
gives
staff
a
great
deal
of.
