Description
The City is preparing a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for the City of Cupertino General Plan 2040, and associated Zoning Code Amendments, herein referred to as the proposed project. The updates to the General Plan 2040 are required to bring the Housing Element and the Health and Safety Element into compliance with State law. Subsequent updates to the Land Use and Community Character, Mobility Elements and Zoning Code are also required as a result of updates to the Housing Element.

A
Not
a
lot
of
people
here
tonight,
but
I
know.
There's
people
on
Zoom
as
well,
so
I
will
be
talking
to
the
group
as
a
whole.
It's
six
o'clock!
Thank
you
for
coming
to
the
scoping
meeting
for
the
general
plan.
2040
zoning
code,
amendments
subsequent
environmental
impact
report,
public
scoping
meeting,
which,
for
a
lot
of
you
who
have
been
following
the
housing
element,
update.
That's
really
what's
the
driver
behind
this
environmental
impact
report,
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
tonight.
A
A
So
here's
the
agenda
for
tonight
we'll
be
doing
introductions
of
our
team.
There's
a
few
people
here,
one
on
zoom,
two
of
us
in
person,
and
we
want
to
emphasize
again
the
purpose
of
what
the
scoping
meeting
is
for.
Why
you
do
it?
Why,
specifically
we're
doing
it
tonight
for
this
project,
while
we're
going
to
be
focusing
on
SQL
issues,
I
do
want
to
get
a
project
overview
specifically
on
the
housing
element
update.
A
Okay,
I've
already
introduced
myself,
I'm
Luke,
Connolly
I'm,
the
interim
assistant
director
of
Community
Development,
like
I,
said
I've
been
managing
the
housing
element
for
a
little
over
a
year.
At
this
point,
I
also
have
Terry
McCracken
who's
sitting
on
my
left,
who
will
be
talking
tonight,
she's
the
lead
consultant
on
the
eir.
That's
going
to
be
getting
prepared
for
the
the
housing
element.
Update
and
I
also
have
Jacqueline
protzman
Roar
on
Zoom,
who
is
also
with
placeworks.
They
are
really
our
lead
team
on
the
environmental
impact
reports.
A
Preparation
purpose
of
the
scoping
meeting
I
think
as
I
had
said,
is
what
we're
really
looking
at
tonight.
Unlike
a
lot
of
the
meetings
we
had
on
the
housing
element
where
we
looked
at
things
like
the
housing
sites,
housing
policies,
issues
like
that
we're
really
tonight
looking
at
getting
comments
about
the
scope
of
the
environmental
issues
that
should
be
analyzed
in
the
eir.
That's
why
this
is
called
the
scoping
meeting.
A
It
was
a
originally
sequel
intended
to
have
this
be
for
regular
Regulatory
Agencies
to
provide
input,
but
we're
looking
also
for
agencies,
groups
and
members
of
the
public
that
what
do
you
feel
this
project
if
it
were
carried
out,
is
going
to
trigger
in
terms
of
environmental
analysis?
So,
while
you
have
my
other
other
comments
on
the
project,
there'll
be
plenty
of
forums
to
address
those
tonight,
we're
really
focusing
on
the
eir
and
the
environmental
issues
related
to
the
project.
A
So
with
that,
I'll
give
the
pullback
from
sequel
for
a
second
give
and
give
you
a
project
overview,
as
I
said
really.
The
housing
element
update,
which
many
of
you
are
aware
of,
is
what's
driving
the
proposal
here,
but
in
addition
to
the
housing
element,
we
have
other
General
plan
elements
that
are
also
going
to
be
updated.
A
A
Housing
element
itself,
since
this
is
really
the
main
component
of
why
we're
here
tonight.
It's
a
state
mandated
element,
I.
Think,
as
you
know,
unlike
the
other
elements,
so
it
needs
it's
required
to
be
updated
every
eight
years.
So,
while
your
general
plan
overall
is
a
long-range
document
generally
looking
ahead
about
30
years
or
so,
the
housing
element
is
updated
every
eight
years.
So
in
many
ways
it's
the
most
fresh
and
frequently
updated
piece
of
the
general
plan.
A
A
Also,
what
your
housing
element
does
is
it's
demonstrating
the
city's
capacity
to
meet
its
fair
share
of
the
Regional
Housing
need
for
the
planning
cycle.
So
when
people
talk
about
housing
element,
it
isn't
like
there's
a
development
proposal
on
the
table
to
go,
build
housing,
it's
really
showing
that
the
city
has
the
capacity
to
meet
its
housing,
need
for
the
eight-year
planning
cycle.
A
For
this,
the
six
cycle
update,
we
also
have
Concepts
and
programs
that
are
new
to
this
housing
element
cycle,
namely
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing,
which
we
have
talked
about
extensively
at
earlier
meetings
and
in
updating
the
housing
element.
You're
also
going
to
be
looking
at
deleted
programs
that
have
been
completed,
consolidating
similar
programs
looking
at
new
programs
that
are
responding
to
emerging
issues
and
also
amending
other
programs
and
revising
timelines.
So
a
lot
of
this
is
really
updating
getting
the
housing
Element
Fresh
and
making
it
more
efficient.
A
What
is
cupertino's
fair
share
of
housing?
Well,
the
housing
element
starts
with
the
State
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development,
which
assesses
the
Statewide
housing
needs
overall
and
then
distributes
these
to
Regional
agencies
in
cupertino's
case
being
located
in
the
Bay
Area.
It's
the
association
of
Bay,
Area
governments
or
abag
is
who
allocates
the
fair
share.
Housing
need
for
all
Bay
Area
cities
and
counties.
A
As
some
of
you
may
know,
the
city
of
cupertino's,
Arena
or
Regional
Housing
needs
allocation
for
this
cycle
is
4588
dwelling
units
about
1900
of
those
are
very
low
and
low
income.
A
little
over
1900
are
market
rate,
so
it's
a
significant
increase.
I
believe
the
last
housing
cycle
was
just
under
1100
for
the
city's
Arena,
so
like
most
Bay
Area
cities.
This
has
really
been
the
the
focus
of
a
lot
of
the
earlier
discussion.
A
A
That
updates
are
going
to
include
the
best
available
information
for
things
like
mapping,
flood
and
Wildfire
risks,
more
information
related
to
extreme
weather
events
and
addressing
climate
climate
adaptation
and
resiliency
similar
to
what
I
covered
under
the
housing
element
to
you're,
also
going
to
be
looking
at
which
programs
have
been
completed
in
that
element,
consolidating
similar
or
related
programs,
adding
new
programs
that
are
responding
to
emerging
issues
and
amending
other
programs
and
or
revising
timelines.
Accordingly,
the
land
use
and
Community
designed
element
which
is
really
sort
of
the
backbone
of
the
general
plan.
A
There
will
also
be
amendments
to
this
as
well
related
to
the
housing
element
update.
You
know
this
is
essentially
your
land
use
element
is
what's
looking
at
the
distribution
and
intensity
of
land
uses
and
we're
looking
at
updates.
That
would
be
looking
at
the
city-wide
development
allocations
that
this
particularly
related
related
to
housing
and
revisions
to
our
community
land
diagram,
which
really
mandates
or
outlays
the
building,
Heights
and
density
standards.
A
This
is
also
a
state
mandate
mandated
element
of
the
general
plan
and
we
are
anticipating
that
there's
going
to
be
updates,
in
particular,
one
related
to
vehicle
miles
traveled,
which
is
really
the
the
sequest
standard.
That's
been
in
place
the
last
few
years
it
came
into
effect
after
the
current
housing
element
was
adopted,
but
this
is
really
looking
at
traffic
analysis
in
a
different
way,
where
it's
focusing
on
exactly
that.
What
are
the
vehicle
miles?
A
We
also
are
going
to
be
looking
at
revising
policy
policies
to
accommodate
higher
density,
housing
and
Transit
Rich
corridors
of
the
city.
So
that's
why
we've
in
previous
meetings
said
we
focus
largely
on
the
housing
element,
but
that's
why
this
is
a
subsequent
eir
to
the
general
plan,
it's
affecting
more
than
just
the
housing
element,
but
other
elements
of
the
general
plan
as
well.
A
The
zoning
code,
which
is
not
part
of
the
general
plan,
but
is
essentially
the
the
law
of
the
city.
It
implements
the
general
plan
we
have
touched
on
this
at
earlier
meetings.
This
is
title
19
of
the
city's
Municipal
Code,
which
is
required
to
be
consistent
with
the
general
plan.
We
anticipate
having
updates
to
this,
possibly
even
creating
new
zoning
districts
to
deal
with
the
nature
of
more
dense
housing
throughout
the
city.
A
Just
again,
the
general
plan
land
use
map
is
integrated
with
the
zoning
map,
so
essentially,
what
you're
looking
at
is
having
consistency
that
you're
General
planning.
Your
zoning
are
essentially
saying
the
same
thing.
The
zoning
is
providing
a
greater
level
of
detail.
As
I
said,
it's
more
regulatory.
B
Okay,
get
myself
situated
good
evening:
everybody.
Thank
you
Luke,
my
name
is
Terry
McCracken
I'm,
an
associate
principal
with
placeworks
and
I
am
asequa
specialist
and
my
firm
place
works
is
here
working
with
the
city
on
not
only
preparing
the
subsequent
eir
for
the
project.
I'm
going
to
talk
about,
and
also
helping
with
the
housing
element
and
we're
also
different
teams
on
place.
Works
are
also
preparing
the
safety
element,
as
well
as
assisting
with
the
mobility
element
that
Luke
just
described
to
you
so
SQL
overview.
B
As
Luke
already
stated.
The
purpose
of
tonight
is
really
SQL
oriented,
so
this
is
a
happy
night
for
the
sequel
nerds.
So
we
get
to
hear
from
everybody
on
what
you
think
should
be
evaluated
in
the
eir.
So
my
next
few
slides
are
just
going
to
give
you
a
high
level
overview
of
this
pretty
complicated
law.
B
So
to
start
with,
SQL
stands
for
the
California
Environmental
Quality
act.
It
is
the
state's
primary
Environmental
Protection
Law,
and
what
sequa
is
really
is
as
much
as
Environmental
Protection.
It
is
a
disclosure
law,
so
it
does
require
agencies
to
disclose
the
facts
about
the
environmental
impacts.
From
a
project.
B
The
eir
itself
is
an
informational
document
like
I
was
just
saying
it
discloses
the
effects,
it
identifies
mitigation
measures,
and
these
are
it
also
is
required
to
look
at
alternatives
to
the
proposed
project,
and
most
everything
I'm
going
to
be
discussing
tonight
is
is
dictated
by
the
law.
It's
procedural,
and
so
those
are
the
things
that
we
need
are
required
to
do.
Another
thing,
that's
procedural
is
the
eir
does
need
to
be
certified
prior
to
approving
the
project.
B
There
are
lots
of
different
types
of
eirs
that
are
allowed
under
SQL.
This
particular
eir
is
going
to
be
two
things.
First,
it's
going
to
be
a
program
level,
eir
and
program
level.
Eirs
are
appropriate
when
the
project
consists
of
long-range
plans,
or
it
consists
of
a
series
of
actions
related
to
rules
just
like
the
housing
element
and
the
other
elements
of
the
general
plan.
B
B
The
second
thing
that
this
eir
is
going
to
be
is
a
subsequent
eir,
and
these
types
of
birs
are
appropriate
when
you're
only
changing
one
or
two
things
about
a
project,
and
you
can
use
the
original
eir
as
a
Baseline
for
what
you're
doing
so.
In
this
case,
we
are
only
updating
the
housing
element
and
then
any
subsequent
policies
that
need
to
be
updated
so
that
the
general
plan
can
stay
internally
consistent,
and
that
means
all
the
different
elements
communicate
with
one
another.
B
So
in
this
case
the
subsequent
eir
is
going
to
be
a
subsequent
analysis
to
the
general
plan,
Amendment
housing
on
an
update
and
Associated
rezoning
project
that
was
certified
in
December
2014
and
since
that
time,
there's
also
been
several
addenda
to
that
eir.
And
so
this
that
those
agenda
plus
the
certified
dir,
will
serve
as
the
Baseline
the
eir
process.
B
So
if
tonight's
scoping
meeting
is
just
one
of
the
opportunities
that
siqua
mandates
that
we
should
have
public
input
along
the
process,
so
this
chart
kind
of
highlights
those
times
when
you
can
have
that
public
input,
and
these
are
highlighted
in
the
green
squares.
And
so
the
first
thing
we
did
was
issue
the
notice
of
preparation
and
that
notice
is
very
simply
just
to
say,
hey
we're
preparing
an
eir,
and
we
want
to
make
you
aware
of
that,
and
the
first
piece
of
that
is
also
the
scoping
meeting.
B
B
So
we'll
go
over
this
a
little
bit
more
later
on,
but
after
tonight's
hearing
you
still
will
have
another
week
to
collect
your
thoughts
and
submit
comments
on
the
eir,
the
rest
of
the
chart
just
diagrams
the
rest
of
the
process
we're
going
through.
So
after
we
do
the
scoping
meeting
we'll
go
through
and
take
your
ideas
and
any
other
research
that
we
collect
and
analyze
the
impacts
following
that
there'll
be
another
45-day
review
period
for
the
public
and
interested
parties
to
provide
comments
on
the
draft
eir.
B
It's
really
about
the
adequacy
of
the
draft
eir
and
then,
after
that,
we
take
all
the
comments
and
respond
to
those
correct,
any
things
that
need
to
be
corrected.
And
then
we
go
from
there
to
Preparing
a
final
eir.
It
is
the
draft
eir
and
the
final
eir
combined
that
make
the
certified
eir.
Those
two
documents
will
come
before
the
Planning
Commission
for
a
recommendation
and
then
to
city
council
to
consider
the
planning
commission's
recommendation
and
whether
to
certify
the
eir
or
not,
and
the
eir
is
going
to
be
a
a
full.
B
B
B
And
so
we
like
to
consider
that,
like
a
self-mitigating
plan,
it
doesn't
eliminate
doing
future
environmental
review.
It's
just
there
to
help
guide
and
minimize
impacts
along
the
way,
and
so
that
kind
of
wraps
up
my
presentation
on
SQL
and
the
eir,
and
this
next
part
we're
going
to
open
it
up
to
the
scoping
session
and
at
this
part
of
the
meeting
we
will
basically
receive
comments
on
the
eir
and
so
those
comments
we
would
like
for
them
to
be
on
any
technical
issues
or
anything
that
you
think
would
cause
a
trigger
and
impact.
B
It's
helpful
for
us.
If
you
phrase
your
comment
with
I
think
the
eir
should
evaluate
that
way.
We
can
stay
focused
on
the
eir
for
tonight's
meeting
and
not
necessarily
on
the
merits
of
the
project,
and
so,
if
you
have
any
suggestions
for
Alternatives
as
well
as
what
might
cause
an
impact,
those
are
also
helpful
for
us
to
hear
from
you
tonight
and
so
Luke
I
think
with
that
we
can
turn
it
over
I'll.
Just
put
this
last
slide
up
right.
B
I
think
this
would
be
a
good
one
to
keep
up
that
like
I
said
comments
are
due
oops,
that's
actually
a
typo.
They
are
not.
Oh,
you
can
do
comments
tonight.
Sorry
that
is
not
a
typo
Wednesday,
April
19th,
and
then
you
can
also
is
that
a
typo
I
think
it's
supposed
to
say,
yeah.
Your
comments
are
actually
due
on
the
25th,
not
the
19th.
So
we'll
have
to
correct
that
and
then
you
can
present
your
comments
tonight.
A
Thank
you,
Terry
I
know
we
have
the
majority
of
people
on
Zoom,
but
if
I
want
to
start,
if
you
have
any
comments
for
the
people
who
are
here
as
well,
I
believe
they
have
them,
but
there
are
agendas
with
comment
on
the
back.
Where
you
can
write
those,
you
could
submit
comments
directly
to
us
tonight
or
mail
them
later.
If
you
want
to
take
time
or,
as
Terry
said,
feel
free
to
email.
You
have
one
week
from
tonight
to
submit
comments.
A
If
there's
anybody
present
in
the
room
tonight,
we
have
a
microphone.
If
you
would
like
to
speak,
we
could
take
the
people
who
are
here
first
and
then
go
to
the
people
who
are
on
Zoom
after
that.
If
you
have
any
comments,
okay
believed
Jennifer.
If
you
want
to
step
up
and
we'll
stick
with
three-minute
comment
periods,
if
that's
fine.
C
Anyway,
we'll
get
this
up
here.
I
actually
gave
up
two
other
meetings
tonight
because
of
this
meeting,
one
of
them
was
city
of
San
Jose,
where
they're
introducing
a
some
sort
of
a
Subway
that
they're
trying
to
put
down
Stevens
Creek,
Boulevard,
monorail
and
another
one
was
Westgate
Costco,
so
I
I
hope
I'm
spending
my
time
well
with
you
all,
but
I
I'm.
This
is
very
important.
C
C
I
am
I,
live
in
eastern
Cupertino
and
we
have
taken
the
brunt
of
high
density
housing
threats
from
Valco,
build
out
from
San
Jose's
corridors
of
high
development,
which
you
all
may
be
familiar
with.
So
I
feel
like
we're
kind
of
Ground
Zero
we're
the
Gateway
holding
off
massive
over
development
of
our
city,
cutting
down
our
street
trees,
disrupting
and
destroying
our
way
of
life.
C
I'm.
Sorry,
if
I
sound
bitter
but
I
am
I'm
extremely
bitter
I
I
am
I,
am
distressed.
The
governor,
my
Senator,
my
assemblyman
and
my
city
council
I,
don't
trust
anyone
anymore,
and
it's
not
it's
not
funny.
This
has
gone
on
for
five
years,
but
I
am
very
concerned
about
the
potential
contamination
of
sites
in
Cupertino.
I
worked
at
tandem
in
Cupertino.
My
brother
actually
worked
in
a
site.
That's
a
super
fun
site
in
Mountain
View
in
the
1970s
he
has
had
ongoing
health
problems.
C
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
building
homes
on
tops
of
toxic
dump
sites.
Now
there
will
be
a
lot
of
people
that
tell
you
that
it
doesn't
make
any
difference,
but
I
know
there
are
sites
in
Cupertino
that
cannot
have
housing
built
on
them.
You
can
have
office
built
on
them,
but
you
also
have
groundwater
flow,
which
I
I
have
absolutely
I.
I
feel
that
the
powers
that
be
will
try
to
gloss
over
this
I
have
no
no
I
feel
like
they
don't
care
about.
C
What
exactly
is
in
Cupertino
under
the
soil,
all
they
care
about
is
what
they
can
build.
On
top
of
it,
and
we
need
to
not
make
that
disappear,
this
isn't
Cupertino
has
a
massive
Tech
background
and
you
can't
throw
that
out.
It
has
to
be
looked
at
I'm
also
concerned
about
traffic.
We
are
Ground
Zero
for
complete
traffic.
This
monorail
that
San
Jose
is
trying
to
build
from
Diridon
to
De.
C
Anza
College
is
600
million
dollars
with
cost
overrun
it'll
never
happen
so
I
don't
want
anyone
to
take
away
liens
on
Stevens
Creek
Boulevard,
because,
regardless
of
what
the
governor
says,
we're
still
going
to
be
driving
cars
in
10
years
from
now
and
I
am
not
voting
for
this
Governor
again.
Believe
me,
I
did
the
first
time,
but
no
more
so
yeah
we've
got
and
I'll
put
in
the
comments
here.
A
C
D
Thank
you,
one
of
the
things
that
strikes
me
is
you
talk
a
different
language
and
so
it's
I'm
having
to
deal
with
okay.
What
is
this
really
but
I
have
been
involved
in
all
the
discussions
on
the
housing
element,
and
one
of
my
concerns
has
been
that
it
is
Reliant
too
heavily
on
Valco
and
putting
that
in
the
pipeline,
because
there's
every
indication
that
there
are
going
to
be
major
delays
in
whether
that
is
going
to
be
built,
what
it
might
be
in
the
future.
D
You
know
it's
simply
an
unknown,
so
I
think
you
need
to
build
a
scenario
which
does
not
include
that
in
the
pipeline.
Secondly,
I
am
also
very
concerned
about
making
changes
to
facilitate
more
mixed
use.
We've
had
a
problem
here
in
Cupertino
where
the
zoning
was
it
is
residential
and
it
is
our
one
residential.
D
E
I
just
want
to
say
a
couple
of
things:
You're
Building,
you're,
changing
density
from
low
density
to
high
density
from
some
parcels
without
actually
Consulting
the
neighbors.
You
did
that
last
August,
which
is
really
not
right,
also
you're,
changing
from
commercial
properties
into
housing,
property,
housing,
high
density
approvals
like
so
it's
a
commercial
property
from
which
you're
changing
zoning
to
residential
again
without
consulting
Neighbors.
E
If
you
have
a
single
family
home
and
there's
a
parcel
right
next
door
to
you
and
you
change
the
that
parcel
from
low
density
to
high
density,
which
could
go
up
to
65
feet
up
in
the
air.
Just
imagine
what
kind
of
privacy
that
person
is
going
to
have
and
you
didn't
even
consult
them
that
can't
be
right.
I've
been
living
in
the
city
for
17
years
and
you're
doing
that
kind
of
you're
making
those
kind
of
decisions.
E
A
G
G
This
is
a
little
more
vague
of
a
recommendation
but
I'm
sure.
With
your
expertise,
you
can
kind
of
run
with
it,
but
in
general,
I
hope
that
the
eir
can
study
and
recognize
policies
that
favor,
you
know,
modest
tensor,
Urban
infill
is
some
of
the
most
climate
change
friendly
actions
that
we
can
take,
and
specifically
that's
my
understanding
that
Cooper
Channel's
largest
submissions
come
from
our
transportation
related
Mission,
specifically
within
those
are
a
passenger
vehicle
single
occupancy
passenger
vehicle
emissions.
G
So
I
really
hope
that
when
we
assess
the
different
elements
that
need
updates,
our
policies
reflect
that
recognition
and
that
you
know
sometimes
an
environmentally
friendly
action
can
be
one
that
is
favoring
a
smarter
Community,
Development
yeah
and
a
denser
Community
Development
at
times
So
yeah.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
H
Place
works,
I
appreciate
the
time
to
comment.
I
have
several
requests.
One
is
the
PG
e
has
increased
the
power
going
across
the
lines
on
the
high
tension
and
I
would
like
you
to
look
at
the
electromagnetic
field
around
that,
because
several
sites
are
now
they
used
to
be
commercial
or
empty
vacant
sites
and
are
now
designated
for
housing.
H
There
are
several
sites
identified
and
I
think
the
noise
and
the
air
pollution
should
be
looked
at
also
in
the
area
of
Balco
there's
a
there's
at
least
one
site
that
has
been
identified
and
the
valko
site
has
been
identified
as
contaminated
now
verified.
So
I
would
like
you
to
look
at
that:
the
site
next
door,
the
Simeon
property
at
least
and
I'm-
not
sure
what
other
sites
were
identified,
the
intersection
of
Stevens
Creek
and
Miller
or
wolf.
H
There's
been
additional
bus,
stop
in
there
an
improvement
so
increasing,
possibly
or
looking
at
the
density
there
along
bub,
Road
and
also
along
Stevens
Creek
West
of
85
in
the
post
office
area,
just
that
heart
of
area
increased
mixed
use,
and
the
last
request
is
that,
if
you're,
looking
at
increasing
density
rather
than
blanketly,
eliminate
R1,
possibly
consider
a
provision
where
one
by
one
sites
can
be
considered
for
multi-housing
or
at
least
duplex
Triplex
kind
of
thing
it
could
blend
in
without
being
too
in
your
face.
Thank
you.
I
Hi,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
speak,
I'll
keep
this
super
quick
I'd
like,
or
we
should
focus
on,
study
scenarios
with
higher
buffer,
like
35
to
40
percent,
and
also
to
study
the
application
of
newly
adopted
state
laws
like
the
application
of
sb9
without
any
constraints
imposed
today,
and
a
problem
is
like
in
an
increase
of
like
cars
around
like
higher
density
developments,
so
we
should
focus
on
developing
more
on
very
Transit
strong
strength,
wrong
Transit
corridors.
Oh
yes,
thank
you.
J
I
heard
someone
speak
through
delays
on
that
project
or
the
delays.
Now,
there's
been
an
approved
site
Management
program
for
months
and
months,
and
yet
there
was
no
indication
everything's
moving
forward.
However,
there's
no
indication
that
it's
not
there
has
not
been
a
change
in
the
application,
so
it's
perfectly
appropriate
to
assume
it
will
be.
It's
been
a
10-year
thing.
J
So
please
do
keep
this
the
way
it
is
and
consider
that
as
one
of
the
sites
with
the
already
approved
unit
and
and
I
know,
I
may
be
strength
on
what
you're
really
looking
for
tonight
and
I.
Think
everyone
else
sort
of
has
to
I
want
to
take
the
last
minute
to
I.
Don't
know
who
the
gentleman
who
spoke
is
who's
sitting
in
the
front
you're
all
there
tonight
and
I
hear
his
pain
and
his
concerns,
and
there
are
so
many
of
us
that
have
those
concerns.
J
However,
I
think
it's
important
for
this
gentleman
to
know
and
I
would
reach
out
to
him
myself
that
a
lot
of
what's
Happening,
we
have
no
control
over,
because
we
have
a
state.
That's
out
of
control
and
I
would
love
to
reach
out
to
this
gentleman
and
and
give
him
some
more
information
and
some
contacts
on
how
he
can
help
I
know
I'm,
using
this
inappropriately
but
I,
don't
know
how
to
reach
him
so
if
he
could
give
his
name
and
I
could
get
it
from
the
city.
That
would
be
great.
A
A
You
could
mail
them
to
the
city
of
Cupertino
for
people
who
are
here
tonight.
You
can
provide
your
comments
directly
to
us.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
people
if
you
have
the
course
of
the
next
week,
to
think
of
other
comments
again
related
to
environmental
issues,
for
people
that
have
other
concerns
about
the
housing
element.
Update,
I
assure
you,
and
we
had
one
speaker
here
tonight,
there's
going
to
be
ample
opportunity
to
comment
and
one
other
thing.
I
want
to
note.
Just
in
regards
to
the
speaker.
A
There
have
been
no
land
use,
changes
or
anything.
Yet
that
has
not
happened.
The
housing
element
is
in
draft
form.
It
has
not
been
adopted.
The
end
of
last
August,
the
city
council,
chose
a
list
of
sites.
There
are
over
50
of
those,
nothing
has
been
altered
on
them,
so
what
I
would
suggest
is
that
for
future
meetings
and
we
can
make
sure
you're
notified
that
you're
able
to
participate
and
voice
any
concerns
you
have.
So
that's
really
the
Avenue
we've
for
people
who
are
not
aware.
A
We
have
a
probably
a
good
eight
to
nine
month
process
ahead
of
us,
definitely
not
going
to
be
shorter
and
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
public
meetings
for
people
to
weigh
in
on
a
variety
of
issues.
Tonight
again,
though,
I
just
want
to
say
it's
really
focused
on
the
eir
and
scoping.
What
needs
to
be
analyzed.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
here's
really
how
we're
estimating
the
schedule,
the
scoping
comments
go
through
a
week
from
today
to
the
25th,
then
we're
really
going
to
be
getting
into
the
whole
draft
eir
process.
Looking
at
potential
environmental
impacts
mitigation
measures,
alternatives
the
goal
is
to
have
a
draft
eir
published
next
fall.
A
A
All
of
that
needs
to
happen
before
this
would
go
before
a
Planning
Commission
in
city
council.
The
city
council
will
be
the
ultimate
hearing
body
that
would
certify
the
eir
and
again,
all
of
this
needs
to
happen
in
order
for
the
city
to
get
an
adopted
and
certified
housing
element
and
do
any
land
use
changes.
So
again,
we've
got
a
long
process
ahead
of
us
with
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
the
public
to
participate.
