A
A
A
D
D
Okay,
well,
I
have
4.1.
That
was
some
change
to
our
Council
policies
and
I'm
just
really
glad
to
see
that
that,
in
particular
the
changes
to
how
we
can
distribute
the
reports
that
we
collect
when
we
go
to
Regional
bodies
that
we
serve
on
has
made
been
made.
D
You
know
really
clear,
because
I
think
that
when
we
serve
on
these
Regional
bodies,
we
you
know
we
want
to
go
to
the
to
the
meetings
and
we
want
to
represent
Mountain
View,
and
we
want
to
come
back
with
information
that
we've
learned
and
share
it
and
that's
been
a
little
awkward
previously,
and
this
allows
us
to
either
send
reports.
You
know
send
send
reports
that
we
want
to
share
to
the
clerk
right
after
the
meeting
or
after
item
eight
and
I
think
that
that
could
be
a
big
Improvement.
D
So
I'm
really
glad
to
see
that
and
then
I
I
I'm
really
about
4.3
I'm.
This
is
the
application
for
the
state's
Pro
housing
designation
program.
We
have
gotten
a
reputation
for
being
strong
on
housing
in
the
region
and
I'm
I'm,
just
really
glad
to
see
that
we're
going
to
try
and
make
this
official
I
think
that's
good,
there's
a
lot
of
benefits
from
Grants
and
that
sort
of
thing.
So
it's
a
good
thing
and
I
just
want
to
bring
it
to.
D
You
know
the
Public's
attention
that
we're
doing
this
and
also
say
to
the
staff.
If
there
ever
gets
to
be
a
point
where
advocacy
on
the
part
of
City
councils,
men
of
City,
Council
Members,
would
be
valuable.
I'm
I
hope
that
you'll,
let
us
know
what
that
is,
and
then
the
last
one
I
want
to
talk
about
is
item
4.9
and
every
this
is
the
fiscal
20
21
22
annual
compliance
report
on
our
on
our
fees
and
every
year.
D
This
is
on
the
consent,
calendar
and
it
just
always
bothers
me,
because
this
is
an
incredibly
jam-packed
document
it.
It
explains
what
our
impact
fees
are,
how
much
money
has
been
collected
over
you
know
with
them
over
time
and
what
we're
doing
with
that
money
and
I.
D
Think
that
that's
something
that
you
know
it's
just
really
important
and
so
I
wanted
to
thank
the
you
know
the
finance
department
and
all
the
Departments
that
work
on
this
and
just
bring
it
to
the
attention
of
the
public,
because
it
is
a
very
informative
report
about
you
know
some
of
the
finances
of
the
of
the
the
city
and
I
think
many
people
would
be
interested.
You
know
in
in
looking
at
it.
D
So
those
are
the
things
I
wanted
to
comment
on
and
is
if
there
aren't
any
other
hands.
So
I
could
make
a
motion,
but.
A
E
I
think
we
got
it.
Do
you
hear
me
now
mayor?
Yes,
we
do
great
excellent.
Thank
you.
Yeah
I
wanted
to
comment.
This
is
Bruce
England,
Station,
Drive
I
just
want
to
comment
on
item
four.
Seven
2310
Brooks
rock
Street,
accept
public
improvements.
I've
commented
on
these
things
before
I
find
that
the
reports
are
too
brief.
E
They
don't
really
tell
what
sort
of
improvements
have
been
made
say
to
street
lights,
fire
hydrant
placements
sidewalks,
and
things
like
that,
and
even
though
the
report
notes
that
the
city
engineer
has
approved
it
and
inspected,
which
is
great.
There
also
should
be
the
ability
for
City
Council
Members
to
easily
recognize
what
the
changes
are
and
members
of
the
public
too,
without
necessarily
having
to
go
to
the
site
to
see
them.
It
seems
like
a
rubber
stamp
sort
of
process
to
me.
E
A
D
Okay,
I
move
the
consent
calendar,
including
item
4.1,

a

Great

oral
Community

address
the
Council
on
any
matter,
not
on
the
agenda.
Speakers
are

speak
on
any
item
for
up
to

during
this

State
law
prohibits
the
counsel
from
acting
on
non-agenda
items.
Would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comment
on
this
item?
A
G
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
just
wanted
to
address
that
recently.
G
These
TSA
has
terminated
the
case
manager
regarding
rental
assistance
and,
from
my
understand,
the
rental
assistance
program
is
supposed
to
continue
until
February
28th,
because
that's
the
end
of
the
state
of
emergency
regarding
cobit
but
they're
now
not
have
anyone
to
handle
any
cases
and
because
of
that
they're,
not
providing
any
mental
assistance
anymore
and
I
think
that's
a
a
critical
situation
that
I
believe
I
emailed
the
information
to
the
city
council
quite
a
few
days
ago,
when
I
learned
about
this-
and
it
seems
like
it's
not
being
addressed
and
I
think
it
may
be
important
that
if
there
is
in
fact
allocated
funds
that
have
not
been
used
yet
and
yet
at
the
same
time,
there's
no
case
manager
at
the
CSA.
G
Well,
then
that
you're,
in
effect,
now
not
providing
the
services
that
are
supposed
to
be
provided
I'm,
just
a
bit
surprised
about
that.
What's
going
on
now
is
that
I've
had
to
apply
for
rental
assistance
through
agencies
other
than
the
CSA
in
order
to
get
access
to
the
same
benefits.
So
I
would
figure
that
the
city
should
be
dealing
with
that
immediately.
Thank
you.
H
I
just
wanted
to
raise
a
an
issue
that
has
been
of
of
concern
to
members
live
of
the
community
living
on
Ortega
Avenue
and
the
surrounding
areas.
There's
been
recent
recent
organization
around
aspects
of
RV
parking
and
I,
think
it's
important
that
the
city
recognize
the
hardships
of
living
in
a
vehicle
and
take
a
compassionate
approach
as
opposed
to
a
punitive
one
that
gives
people
tickets
and
fines
compounding
the
root
of
the
problem.
H
H
It
is
for
context:
I
am
a
resident
on
Ortega,
Avenue
and
I
have
not
had
any
of
these
residents
perform
any
a
disruptive
action
and
there
should
be
more
safe
areas
for
RVs
to
park,
and
they
are
people
too,
who
are
members
of
the
community,
some
for
20
plus
years
as
I've
had
discussions
with
some
of
them,
and
I
can
see
that
many
people
in
the
area
would
just
like
to
see
them
go
away
rather
than
try
and
address
their
needs
and
the
roots
of
the
issues.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
Hi,
hello,
hello:
there
is
the
issue
with
Hasting
for
the
recent
months
that
there
is
a
city
graffiti,
so
City
graffiti
article
regulations.
We
have
here
but
no
one's
to
respond
to
our
report.
So
basically
for
the
last
funds,
we
reported
multiple
feature
reports
on
the
drugs
we
see
on
our
street.
Those
trucks
are
inhabited
and
there
is
no
actions
and
no
any
answer
from
their
abandonment
from
the
city
graffiti
graffiti
abandonment
hotline,
which
we
call,
which
is
650
nine
zero.
I
Three
six,
seven
six
seven
also
I
have
last
I
I
have
left
several
reports
for
the
asks:
City
Mountain
View
for
the
graffiti
graffiti-
and
this
is
like
my
reports-
were
redirected
to
police.
They
called
me
and
they
say
that
I
have
no
idea
what
to
do
with
those
reports,
because
they
are
completely
different
report
department
and
they
don't
know
how
to
react
to
this
regardless
I
had
a
confirmation,
email
that
my
ask
city
mouse
in
your
report
was
redirected
to
the
graffiti
following
to
the
graffiti
department.
I
J
Okay,
I'm
turned
on
now
I'm
on
a
resident
of
Ortega
and
I
too
feel
for
the
people
who
live
in
their
RVs,
but
there
has
to
be
a
better
situation
than
this
there's
graffiti,
all
over
the
RVs
which
they
were
supposed
to
be
cleaned
up
and
they're.
Not
they
the
res,
the
RV
residents
leave
stuff
all
over
the
street
and
they're
just
an
eyesore,
and
my
property
value
has
been
seriously
damaged
by
the
eye
source
of
the
RVs.
J
As
I've
said
for
many
years
now,
I
would
like
to
see
a
safe
parking
lot
like
Moffett
Field
for
all
of
the
RVs
that
can
stay
there
forever
and
have
police
and
sanitation
and
showers
I
realize
this
is
very
difficult
to
do,
but
there's
got
to
be
a
better
solution
than
just
having
them
Park
on
Ortega.
Thank
you,
I
think
they
could
park
on
the.
K
Hi,
thank
you
Council,
as
I'm
a
Mountain,
View
resident
and
I
just
wanted
to
speak
today
in
support
of
Mountain
View
Council
and
continued
kind
of
complex
thinking
about
the
housing
crisis
that
we're
facing
in
our
state.
K
I
understand
that,
due
to
the
settlement,
a
few
RVs
have
moved,
Ortega,
Street
and
there's
some
distress
being
expressed
by
residents
or
on
Ortega
I
drove
down
Ortega
last
night
and
I'm
sure
there
have
been
times
where
there
have
been
more
than
three
RVs,
but
given
what
I
had
heard
in
terms
of
the
amount
of
vitriol
on
a
Facebook
page
being
directed
at
these
people,
I
was
surprised
at
the
Staggering
kind
of
unimpressiveness.
K
Of
how
many
RVs
were
there
I'm
sure
that
it
is
painful
to
see
the
RVs
being
a
resident
of
work
on
Ortega,
but
I
think
some
sometimes
what's
painful
for
us
is
to
look
at
the
reality
of
our
world
and
the
reality
in
the
state
of
California
that
we
are
facing
a
housing
crisis
crisis
and
there
are
families
who
have
no
other
choice,
and
so,
while
I
feel
for
the
residents
having
to
look
at
the
pain
of
other
people.
K
These
are
humans
and,
from
my
understanding,
there
has
been
pictures
taken
of
these
families
and
I
would
ask
the
city
council
to
just
think
about
if
there's
ways
to
protect
Mountain,
View
citizens
that
are
living
in
vehicles
from
harassment
and
discrimination
and
I
would
also
ask
if
we
can
look
at
easing
the
72-hour
abandoned
vehicle
rule
to
allow
our
V
residents
to
park
for
a
longer
period
of
time
without
having
to
move
I.
Think
we
all
know.
K
These
are
our
fellow
brother
and
sister,
and
these
are
children,
and
we
need
to
actually
just
think
about
how
we,
together
as
Society,
can
respond
and
live
with
some
compassion
and
allow
these
people
to
have
dignity
that
they
very
much
deserve.
Thank
you.
L
Kyle
yeah
I,
just
I,
want
to
Echo
some
of
the
comments
that
were
made
before
specifically
asking
for
a
a
pause
on
the
72-hour
enforcement
of
the
72-hour
traffic
enforcement
rule
from
the
city
website.
It
says
it's
that
that
rule
the
72
hour
rule
is
supposed
to
be
dealing
with
abandoned
vehicles,
and
if
people
are
living
in
vehicles
kind
of
by
definition,
they
are
not
abandoned.
L
So
it
seems
kind
of
it
seems
counter
to
the
stated
goal
of
the
policy
to
be
enforcing
the
72-hour
rule
for
for
people
for
RVs
that
are
inhabited
by
people
and,
additionally,
just
enforcement.
Like
I
I.
There
was
the
Mountain
View
voice
article
a
month
or
two
ago,
talking
about
police
officers
going
and
marking
RVs
with
chalk.
I
think
that's
seems
like
a
huge
investment
of
resources
that
could
be
better
spent
by
the
city.
L
It
seems
a
little
below
the
Dignity
of
our
police
officers
to
have
them
go
marking
the
chalk
and
if
we're
gonna
go
buy
a
by
the
letter
of
the
law
rather
than
the
Spirit
of
the
law.
The
text
of
the
ordinance
says
that
the
as
long
as
I
forget
the
exact
distance
I
think
it's
that
a
thousand
feet
or
something
like
that
have
moved.
The
vehicle
has
moved
a
thousand
feet.
Then
it's
fine,
even
if
they
go
back
to
the
same
spot
and
looking
at
the
odometer
counts.
L
So
marking
with
chalk
actually
seems
kind
of
counter
to
if
we're
going
by
a
letter
of
the
law
and
the
spirit
of
the
law
seems
contrary
to
enforcing
it.
For
RVs
that
are
inhabited
so
I'd
recommend
looking
into
a
pause
on
the
enforcement
of
the
72-hour
rule.
Thanks
a
lot.
M
Hi,
my
name
is
Marguerite
I
live
on
Ortega
I'd
like
to
offer
some
of
my
thoughts
on
the
RV
situation
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
walk
on
Ortega
almost
daily
on
the
sidewalks
and
I
drive
down
Ortega,
because
I
commute
as
well
and
I've
never
had
an
issue
with
any
trash
or
like
creating
a
hazard,
I've
not
experienced
any
detriment
to
my
living
on
Ortega
by
the
arrival
of
the
RVs,
since
the
settlement
went
into
effect,
and
so
I
just
wanted
with
my
remaining
time
to
highlight
a
few
of
the
things
that
I
just
wanted
to
offer
respectfully
to
the
to
the
city
councilors,
just
as
a
thought
from
an
Ortega
resident
myself.
M
First
I
just
want
to
really
promote
that
these
are
people
living
in
RVs
right.
These
are
people.
These
are
families.
M
M
That's
like
a
really
hard
thing
to
deal
with
and
I
just
want
to
promote
a
compassionate
approach
to
this
that
really
centers
the
people
who
are
dealing
with
this
hardship
and
to
that
end,
I
want
to
offer
some
ideas
to
help
promote
that,
so
that
these
people
have
it.
M
You
know
that
the
city
has
their
back
number
one
to
to,
hopefully
maybe
ease
the
72-hour
abandoned
vehicle
rule
to
allow
RV
residents
to
park
for
a
longer
period
of
time
without
having
to
continuously
move
every
three
days,
because
that's
that's
hard
to
do
number
two:
to
look
into
expanding
the
lots
and
offering
resources
like
free,
RV,
repair
clinics.
E
Thank
you,
Mayor
Bruce,
England,
Station,
Drive
I
want
to
Echo
a
lot
of
what's
already
been
said
on
this
and
I'll
be
brief,
but
bearing
in
mind
both
reasonable
concerns
and
need
for
compassion
and
understanding
across
the
board,
we
all
need
to
share
the
load
within
our
community
and
keeping
the
dialogue
open
and
having
the
city
respond
in
constructive
and
reasonable
ways.
That's
what
I'm,
asking
for
in
general
I
agree
with
the
ask
for
easing
the
enforcement
of
the
72-hour
parking
limit.
E
Even
if
it's
a
temporary
measure
I
know
that
all
this
is
being
explored,
expanding
safe
parking
for
sure,
which
has
been
talked
about
for
a
long
time.
That's
a
very
hard
one
to
accomplish,
and
specifically
I
am
interested
and
I
know.
Others
are
too
in
looking
at
places
like
croissanto
again,
where
not
the
park
side
of
crisanto,
but
the
site
adjacent
to
the
train
tracks
is
actually
a
pretty
suitable
place
for
the
RVs
to
be
I,
think
and
if
there's
any
way
that
that
can
be
considered
or
explored
I
would
sure
support
it.
Thank
you.
N
Hi,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
Yeah,
I'm,
also
a
resident
on
Ortega
Avenue
and
since
October
I've
encountered
many
issues
personally,
anything
from
people
sleeping
in
the
park
or
going
through
obvious
drug
withdrawals
in
the
park
by
you
know
uncontrolled
shaking
trash
on
the
street
trash
on
the
sidewalk
noise
at
odd
hours.
N
N
So
I
would
like
to
ask
the
city
to
please
increase
enforcement
of
the
72-hour
rule.
Please
respect
your
laws
and
enforce
you
know.
Things
like
abandoned
vehicles,
abandoned
RV
trailers,
trailers,
the
websites.
Your
website
says
that
there's
laws
against
those
things,
but
the
police
officers
are
saying
they're
told
not
to
enforce
those
flaws.
N
So
I
think
this
is
really
not
serving
your
community
and
I'd
like
you
to
ask
to.
Please
have
stricter
enforcement
of
your
city
laws.
Thank
you.
O
Hey
friends:
I
live
in
North
Bayshore
I'm
in
San
Diego
we've
had
people
living
on
in
their
vehicles
alongside
the
streets
for
years,
since
I've
moved
out
here,
I've
never
engaged
them.
Every
single
person,
I've
met
who's
been
living
on
Space,
Parkway
or
La.
Bonita
has
been
nice
a
good
person
because
I'm
not
grumpy,
that's
fine,
they're
people,
they
don't
need
sympathy.
They
don't
need
pity.
They're
humans
leave
them
alone.
Let
them
let
them
live.
If
there
are
other
problems,
people
have
with
the
city.
O
If
there's
things
that
the
city
can
do
to
help
people
in
their
communities
in
their
neighborhoods
cool,
let's
do
it.
Let's,
let's
clean
the
streets,
let's
add
more
public
toilets.
Let's
do
things
that
help
everyone,
but
let's
let
the
focus
be
on
a
positive
thing
where
we're
helping
people
not
trying
to
other
and
demonize
your
neighbors,
the
people
who
live
alongside
you,
who,
you
could
have
said
you
know,
meet
and
be
friends
with.
A
Thank
you
very
much
being
no
other
members
of
the
public
wishing
to
speak.
We
will
proceed
now
to
item
6.1,
Valley,
Transportation,
Authority,
board
of
directors,
Mountain
View
nominee
for
alternate
I
will
now
call
for
nominations
for
one
council
member
to
stand
for
election
as
the
Santa
Clara
Valley
Transportation
Authority
board
member
alternate
from
the
group
two
cities
for
the
two-year
term,
beginning
January,
1st
2023.
A
and
then
I
believe.
We
could
also
invite
Public
Works
director
times
Cameron,
if
she's
not
already
in
the
panel
to
answer
any
questions.
Does
any
member
of
the
council
have
questions.
A
P
I
think
thank
you,
mayor
I
I
defer
to
councilmember
Matt
check,
I'm,
not
sure
she
has
a
question
so
I'll
just.
Q
No
I
didn't
have
a
question.
I
had
a
comment,
so
it
seems,
like
you
know,
based
upon
the
criteria
that
councilmember
kame
is
the
only
one
that
meets
the
criteria
she
served
on
the
pack.
She
has
four
more
years
on
the
council
and
they're
looking
for
somebody
who
could
potentially
be
the
representative
in
two
years.
Q
If
I've
got
that
right
and
a
lot
of
us
won't
be
on
the
council,
so
I'll
nominate
councilmember
command.
A
A
Great,
thank
you
very
much
so
I'll
Now
read
so
we'll
move
to

U
Thank
you
Edgar
good
evening,
mayor
vice
mayor
and
council
members.
My
name
is
Deanna
taliber
I'm,
the
senior
housing
officer
with
the
housing
division.
As
Edgar
mentioned,
the
project
was
brought
to
the
nofa
committee
and
the
City
Council
in
June
of
2021,
where
a
funding
reservation
of
16
million
dollars
was
approved.
Of
that
1.3
million
was
approved
and
appropriated
for
pre-development
activities.
U
Today,
the
city
council
is
being
asked
to
appropriate
the
remaining
14.7
million
dollars
of
the
loan
reservation.
I'll
quickly
highlight
two
of
the
Project's
sources
of
funding.
The
first
is
the
city
of
mountain
View's
loan,
the
city
of
Mountain
View,
approved
a
reservation
of
16
million
dollars
in
June
of
2021,
and
the
second
is
the
anticipated
funding
from
Santa
Clara
County.
U
U
The
project
also
meets
the
city
of
Mountain
View,
strategic
roadmap,
goal
of
increasing
the
quantity
and
diversity
of
housing
options,
including
assistance
for
the
unhoused.
In
fact,
this
project
will
bring
much
needed
rapid
re-housing
units
to
our
community,
which
will
increase
opportunities
to
serve
many
of
our
unhoused
residents
in
Mountain
View.
Finally,
we're
excited
to
work
alongside
Charities
housing
and
the
county
to
move
this
project
forward.
T
Thank
you
with
that
said.
Here's
the
formal
recommendation,
as
shown
on
the
staff
report
staff
recommends
the
city
council
approve
the
proposed
project
as
conditioned
inappropriate
to
requested
funds.
Thank
you,
and
that
concludes
staff
presentation.
More
than
glad
to
take
questions
as
a
reminder,
the
project
applicant
also
has
a
presentation
and
they
can
also
help
assist
in
answering
questions.
Thank
you.
A
V
Being
mayor
and
members
of
the
city
council,
this
is
Kathy
Robinson
I
am
the
director
of
development
for
Charities
housing
and
with
me
this
evening
is
from
Charities.
Housing
is
also
Joe
head.
Our
director
of
new
development,
John
Sheehan,
a
principal
at
Studio
e
Architects,
Kevin,
Bessette,
Studio
e
project,
architect
and
Laura
Burnett
of
the
landscape
architect,
and
so
we
any
and
all
of
us
are
available
to
answer
questions
after
our
short
presentation
Kevin.
Can
you
bring
up
the
presentation
that
we
have
please.
V
V
You
want
to
advance,
please
thank
you.
So
Charities
housing
is
a
non-profit
Housing,
Development
Corporation
we've
been
in
business
about
30
years
and
we
primarily
focus
our
attention
in
Santa
Clara
County.
We
have
a
portfolio
of
about
1400,
affordable
apartments,
that's
our
specialty
and
we
have
a
number
of
developments
under
construction
and
in
and
entitlements
as
well.
V
As
Edgar
explained,
our
Montecito
Avenue,
affordable
housing
development
is
a
hundred
percent
affordable.
Although
we
are
leaving
ourselves
a
little
flexibility
to
go
as
high
as
60
percent
Ami.
We
actually
have
performed
it
at
this
point
so
that
we
can
serve
fat
and
it
works
to
serve
families
from
30
to
50
percent
area
median
income
and
our
average
affordability
is
actually
below
40
percent
Ami.
V
At
this
time,
we're
targeting
large
families
and,
as
you
can
see,
half
of
our
units
are
two
and
three
bedrooms
so
that
we
can
really
serve
families
who
are
really
struggling
at
this
time
to
find
places
to
live
in
our
community.
V
Just
a
couple
words
about
this
Montecito
site:
it's
such
an
excellent
site
for
affordable
housing,
it's
proximity
to
bus
routes
and
the
Caltrain
station,
and
the
Safeway
right
across
the
street
parks
and
and
schools
really
when
we're
looking
for
for
sites
for
to
to
build,
affordable
housing,
we're
looking
for
Rich
site
sites
that
just
like
that,
this
that
are
very
rich
in
in
amenities
that
people
can
walk
to
and
easily
get
to.
So
this
is
really
an
ideal
site.
From
our
perspective,.
V
Sustainable
strategies
are
important
to
Charities
housing,
they're
important
to
our
our
design
team
as
well,
because
Charities
owns
and
manages
all
of
our
developments
for
55
years,
plus
it's
really
important
to
us
to
build
into
these
new
developments.
All
of
the
sustainable
features
that
we
can
so
that
the
buildings
and
the
communities
are
affordable
to
operate
and
sustainable
for
the
long
term.
This
this
will
be
an
all-electric
building
and,
oh,
that's,
that's
fine,
Kevin!
V
Sorry,
the
and
I
I
think
our
last
slide
is
just
just
indicates
the
services
that
we
provide
for
the
families
that
will
be

This
is

developments.

W
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
Kathy
and
thank
you
council
members.
So
I
want
to
begin
by
describing
how
we
arrived
at
the
current
massing
strategy.
W
We
identified
the
zoning
envelope
for
the
R4
Zone,
which
is
a
15-foot
setback
on
all
four
sides
and
a
60
foot
height
limit
within
that
we
developed
a
conventional
layout
of
double
loaded
corridors,
five
stories
high
and
then,
if
you
look
at
diagram
three
you
can
see
we
actually
were
able
to
increase
the
number
of
affordable
units
and
reduce
the
bulk
and
mass
of
the
building
by
splitting
it
into
two
and
connecting
the
two
halves
with
an
aerial
Bridge.
W
This
allowed
us
to
create
a
larger
entry
Plaza
for
the
residents
and
also
take
Landscaping
up
and
over
the
building
and
spill
down
into
a
rear
play
area.
Over
the
last
two
and
a
half
years,
we've
worked
with
planning
staff
to
further
refine
the
massing
by
adding
rhythm
with
recessed
balconies.
We
lowered
two
corners
of
the
building
nearest
to
the
intersection
and
adjacent
structures
to
better
relate
to
the
lower
scale,
residential
on
either
side
of
us.
W
This
is
a
aerial
view
of
the
project.
As
seen
from
Montecito
Avenue,
you
can
see
the
corners
of
the
building
are
stepped
down.
One
story
to
better
relate
to
the
two-story
buildings
neighbors
to
the
East
and
they're
cladded,
an
accent
material
of
vertical
bat
and
siding
with
a
red
oxide
color.
W
This
is
a
ground
floor
of
the
project
showing
how
we
have
pushed
all
of
the
common
residential
program
of
the
community
room
offices,
Lobby
and
mail
up
towards
the
front
of
the
site
which
is
accessed
off
the
large
entry
Plaza
there's
a
large
storm
water
basin
along
the
sidewalk,
which
captures
and
treats
all
of
the
roof
runoff
for
the
entire
project
and
provides
an
interesting
low,
Lush,
landscaped
Frontage
for
the
project.
The
parking
is
accessed
from
a
driveway
along
the
west
side
and
is
tucked
behind
the
common
area,
so
it's
less
visible.
W
There's
bike
storage
and
a
manager's
unit
with
a
private
at
grade
entry,
patio
at
the
intersection
of
Shoreline
and
Montecito
and
all
the
mechanical
spaces
are
pushed
to
the
very
back
of
the
site,
including
the
Transformer
trash
and
utility
spaces,
and
there's
a
laundry
room
with
direct
visual
access
to
the
play
area
and
teen
spaces
on
the
upper
levels.
This
is
level
two.
W
These
are
eye-level
perspectives
from
Montecito,
showing
how
we
have
used
accent,
materials
and
have
stepped
the
parapits
up
and
down,
and
back
and
forth,
and
added
awnings
and
detail
to
the
private
balconies
to
further
reduce
the
scale
and
bulk
of
the
building.
W
The
ground
floor
has
enhanced
materials
such
as
tongue
and
groove,
siding
and
floor-to-ceiling
storefront
windows
to
further
activate
the
street
Frontage,
and
this
is
a
view
of
the
entry
Plaza
with
an
accessible
ramp
and
a
staircase
with
an
entry
trellis
that
welcomes
you
up
to
the
entry
Plaza
and
spans
over
the
storm
water
treatment
area
that
runs
along
the
entire
length
of
the
project
and
at
the
rear.
We've
taken
the
same
care
to
apply
the
materials
from
the
front
of
the
building
to
the
rear.
So
the
stair
Tower
is
clad
in
the
same
accent.
F
So
yes,
I,
do
have
a
question.
First.
I
actually
think
this
is
a
really
well
designed
project
in
terms
of
I'm,
very
impressed
with
the
landscaping
and
the
architecture,
but
now
I'm
going
to
ask
a
question.
We
did
get
that
I'll
say
that
those
comments
for
comment
time.
F
F
Or
I
know
I
sent
my
kids
to
the
grocery
store
when
they
put
them
on
with
me
and
walking
other
places.
So
there
was.
The
question
was
on
how
the
sidewalks
would
be
enhanced.
The
the
author
of
The
Letter
said
that
they
were
broken
up
now,
I
I
I,
imagine
they'll
be
repaired,
but
will
there
be
additional
crosswalks
to
different
places?
In
the
you
know,
we
were
shown
all
the
different
places.
F
You
could
walk
additional
crosswalks,
particularly
to
the
grocery
store
put
in
by
the
city
and
also
well
maybe
I'll
start
with
that.
Will
there
be
I,
assume
there'll,
be
improvements
in
the
sidewalk
if
it's
broken
up
at
this
point
or
in
poor
repair,
but
will
there
be
additional
crosswalks
and
then
I'll?
Ask
another
sidewalk
question.
X
F
Okay,
then
I'll
I'll,
move
on
to
the
second
question
about
sidewalks
I
feel
like
I'm,
seeing
different
things
in
different
places.
I
believe
that
Mr
Marvia
said
that
the
sidewalk
would
be
expanded
from
five
feet
to
10
feet.
If
I
heard
him
right
that
comment
kind
of
flew
by
fast
for
me,
but
is
there,
is
that
going
to
be
a
template?
Sidewalk
I
also
saw
a
planting
strip
in
the
sidewalk
I.
Just
am
interested
in
how
the
city
is
improving.
F
Walkability
around
areas
like
this
and
in
particular
I'm
again
I'm,
remembering
when
my
children
were
younger
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
they
could
go
out
and
do
things
around
and
be
safe
while
they
walked
places
and,
of
course,
I'm
interested
in
the
safety
of
adults
as
well.
So
how
wide
will
the
sidewalk
be?
Will
there
be
a
planting
strip
dividing
it
from
the
street?
How
is
all
of
that
going
to
work.
X
Y
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members
Don
Cameron
Public
Works
director.
What
I
want
to
note
is
that
the
intersection
of
Shoreline
and
Sterling
is
part
of
our
Sterling
bike
Improvement
project,
it's
a
Federal
grant
funded
project
to
make
a
series
of
bike
and
pedestrian
improvements,
and
as
part
of
that,
we
will
be
upgrading
that
intersection
to
a
protected
intersection
with
enhanced
pedestrian
Crossing
facilities.
So
that
is
a
city
project,
we're
almost
nearly
done
with
design.
It
will
be
under
construction
soon.
Y
That
project
also
includes
adding
a
mid-brock
Crossing
across
Shoreline
to
improve
access
to
Safeway.
Well,
that
may
not
directly
benefit
this
development.
It
will
overall
improve
Community
Access
from
the
other
side
of
Shoreline
to
the
safe
way.
So
that's
the
piece
I
can
speak
to.
As
for
what
the
development
will
be
doing
for
its
exact
Frontage
along
the
sidewalk
Edgar.
Can
you
provide
more
information
on
that.
F
Associative
Landscaping,
correct,
okay,
well,
I'm
not
going
to
complain
about
that
for
this
particular
project,
because
we're
too
far
along
but
I,
think
for
a
building
of
this
height.
We
should
actually
five
feet.
Is
I
live
in
a
single
family
neighborhood
and
we
have
five
foot
sidewalks
they're
kind
of
the
minimum
for
people
to
walk
side,
two
people
to
walk
side
by
side
so
for
future
projects,
I'm
I'm
going
to
be
more
on
top
of
it
early
on.
F
Unfortunately,
I
read
this
letter
late
in
the
process
and
I
think
we
should
be
getting
more
than
five
foot
sidewalks,
but
I'm
glad
to
hear
about
the
planning
strip.
A
X
Sorry,
just
the
comment
from
the
vice
mayor
I
think
these
are
very
helpful,
but
we're
going
to
have
to
build
it
into
our
Street
plan
so
that
we
are
not
catching
applicants
off
guard
and
so
I
think
you
know.
Maybe
maybe
I
could
work
with
Don
to
see
where
we
have
the
opportunity
to
widen
sidewalks
and
provide
Street
trees,
because
the
space
we
take
away.
Take
four
sidewalks
takes
away
from
the
building
area
where
we're
actually
taking
building
area
away
from
so
we're
trying
to
strike
that
balance.
Q
Thank
you
so
I'm
concerned
about
the
number
of
parking
spaces
given
concerns.
We've
heard
about
other
recent,
affordable
housing
developments,
and
so
I
was
wondering
what
the
backup
plan
is
for
additional
off-straight
parking
for
this
development.
If
the
amount
of
parking
that's
provided
is
not
enough.
X
Councilmember
matacek,
as
you
know,
the
city
is
not
required
to
require
parking
and
I
I,
don't
believe
we
we
have
a
backup
plan.
Our
our
assumption
is
that
Charities
will
be
informing
people
about
the
number
of
spaces,
and
maybe
I
can
have
Kathy
respond
to
that.
To
make
sure
that
they're
monitoring
the
parking.
V
Yes,
I
can
speak
to
that
parking
over
over
time,
as
you,
as
you
can
imagine,
has,
has
changed
from
when
local
jurisdictions
have
a
pretty
significant
parking
ratios
required
per
unit
and,
interestingly,
and
another
in
a
number
of
our
developments
were,
were
substantially
overparked.
We
have
we
built
expensive
parking
spaces
that
aren't
being
utilized
by
anyone.
V
50
of
the
units
in
this
development
will
be
for
people
with
30
percent
of
area,
median
incomes
and
below,
and
our
information
what's
proven
and
proven
to
be
the
experience
in
the
developments.
Many
of
our
developments
is
that
people
at
that
income
level
often
do
not
have
cars.
They
just
simply
can't
afford
them.
V
You
can't
afford
the
upkeep
can't
afford
the
insurance,
the
registration
and
our
property
management
monitors
that
very
closely,
and
we
don't
allow
cars
to
be
parked
that
aren't
registered
and
aren't
insured
and
so
that
the
so
parking
spaces
are
available.
For
folks
who
do
have
cars
that
they're
utilizing
the
the
backup
plan
could
potentially
be
that
if
it
appears
that
people
need
assistance
with
accessing
Alternative
forms
of
transportation,
we
have
on
occasion
provided
Transit
passes.
V
That
is
effective.
In
some
cases,
for
those
who
need
to
you
know
need
have
that
need
to
have
that
access
and
that
the
system
takes
them
where
they
need
to
be,
and
so
we
we've.
We
care
a
lot
about
being
good
neighbors
and
not
impacting
our
the
surrounding
neighborhoods,
with
people
parking
from
our
development
and
I'd,
like
to
assure
you
all
will
be
very
diligent
about
it.
V
R
Thank
you
so
much
I
just
wanted
to
confirm.
My
understanding
of
things
is
that
the
the
number
of
parking
spaces
is
pursuant
to
the
state
law.
R
So
it's
not
really
a
decision
that
we
can
make
at
this
level,
because
I
know
that
we'll
get
questions
from
the
community
later
about.
It
am
I
understanding
it
correctly
correct.
You
are
right:
councilman,
Lieber,
okay,
just
wanted
to
confirm
for
the
public
that
are
tuning
in.
F
All
right,
council,
member
matter,
checks,
question
triggered
another
question
for
me:
so
are
the
parking
spaces
going
to
be
bundled,
in
other
words,
does
each
person
each
apartment
get
one
space
or
if
I
don't
own
a
car
and
my
neighbor
owns
two:
can
they
bought?
You
know
get
two
spaces
while
they
have
zero,
how
will
that
work
out.
V
My
expectation
would
be
that
when,
as
people
move
into
the
development,
they
will
have
the
ability
to
sign
up
for
one
parking
space
if
they,
if
they
have
a
car
and
then
as
the
building
fills
up
if
they're.
If
there
are
extra
parking
spaces
left
over,
then
people
with
more
than
one
car
would
be
assigned
to
Second
space.
I
F
A
Very
much
I've
got
a
quick
question
related
to
The
Challenge
of
hearing
tax
credits.
I
know
it's
competitive,
you
don't
have
a
great
deal
of
time
to
do
it,
I'm
wondering
if
staff
can
maybe
share.
Is
there
any
way
we
can
work
collaboratively
with
the
applicant
to
maybe
expedite
the
building
permit
process
and
make
sure
they
you
know,
are
able
to
get
their
application
in
time
for
for
tax
credits.
X
I
I
can
respond
to
that
mayor.
We're
happy
to
work
with
Kathy
and
her
group
to
see
whatever
we
can
do
to
expedite
the
review
for
the
building
permit
I
think
based
on
Charities
past
experience
with
the
city
I
believe
that
we'll
probably
have
a
very
successful
first
building
permit
application,
and
so
we
could
certainly
work
with
them
on
on
the
timeline.
A
Very
encouraging,
thank
you
and
then
maybe,
for
my
benefit
benefit.
What
would
be
the
the
deadline
to
to
compete
for
tax
credits.
V
Well,
our
expectation
right
now
is
that
assuming
Council
approves
this
evening,
our
architectural
team
is
ready
to
start
working
on
the
building.
Permit
plans,
the
construction,
drawings
right
away
and
Our
intention
is
to
try
to
apply
for
tax
credits.
The
first
round
of
next
year,
2024.
V
We
were
amazingly
successful
this
year.
We
just
had
two
projects
approved
by
the
tax
credit
allocation
committee
and
this
last
round
that
was
just
awarded,
and
so,
if
we're
successful,
we
don't
have
a
schedule
yet
from
for
the
tax
credit
allocation
committee.
But
if
history
repeats
itself,
the
first
application
round
will
be
somewhere
around
March
or
April
they'll
award
two
months
later,
and
then
we
have
to
start
construction
in
180
days
every
risk
losing
our
credits.
V
So
we
have
to
be
ready
to
start
construction
by
fall
of
next
year
spring
of
the
following
year
at
the
very
latest.
A

We
do
have
several

of
the
public
wishing
to

So
let's
allocate
two
minutes
and
we'll
start
with
Ali

Z
Mountain
View,
council
members,
my
name
is
Ali
staperman
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
House
of
Action
Coalition,
to
speak
in
strong
support
of
1265
Montecito
Avenue,
which
the
housing
Action
Coalition
enthusiastically
endorsed
with
our
affordability
crisis.
It's
critical
that
we
invest
in
new,
affordable
homes
that
are
located
near
amenities,
especially
development
year,
transit
in
terms
of
affordability,
bringing
a
100,
affordable
project
to
the
city
of
Mountain
View
will
enable
the
most
vulnerable
to
have
the
opportunity
to
flourish.
Z
This
project
creates
85,
affordable
homes,
there's
an
abnormal
mix
of
homes
of
varying
sizes
that
allow
for
a
diversity
of
households
with
a
mix
of
new
homes
at
different
income
levels,
28
units
for
those
earning
earning
35,
Ami
or
below
15
for
those
households
at
40
percent,
Ami
or
below
another
15
units
for
those
earning
50,
Ami
or
below
and
26
units
at
60,
Ami
and
below.
It
will
also
include
42,
rapid
degree,
housing,
households,
sorry,
which
will
be
critical
in
serving
Mountain
View's,
most
vulnerable
in
terms
of
Transit
oriented
development.
Z
This
project
is
extremely
well
located
for
Transit
within
half
a
mile
of
the
development.
There
are
numerous
BTA
bus
stops
of
ETA
light
railway
station
and
Mountain
View
Caltrain
Station,
providing
accessible
and
environmental,
the
friendly
transit
for
existing
and
future
residents.
The
project
also
includes
85
bike
parking
spots.
There
will
be
45
parking
spots
for
a
home
to
park
ratio
about
0.5,
a
figure
that
is
lower
than
most
surrounding
developments.
We
commend
this
project
for
prioritizing
space
for
people
over
space,
for
cars
really
hope
that
you
approve
1265
Montecito

tonight
without

AA
Good
evening,
council
members
James
good
small
speaking,
both
on
my
personal
behalf
and
on
behalf
of
Mountain
View
MB
I
just
want
to
say
this
is
a
excellent
project
that
we
wholeheartedly
support,
Soul,
Train,
more
affordable
housing
and
to
our
community
and
help
reduce
housing
prices
and
provide
affordable
housing
for
everyone.
This
is
right
next
to
the
Safeway
I
use
on
a
weekly
basis.
I
strongly
look
forward
to
being
able
to
walk
by
it
every
week
and
see
a
welcome
all
my
new
neighbors
to
the
neighborhood.
AA
The
two
comments
we
had
are
more
about
going
forwards,
rather
than
this
project
in
particular,
which
are
firstly,
this
project
needed
to
use
a
stake,
entity
bonus
and
Reliance
state
law
to
reduce
the
parking
minimums.
This
helps
signals
that
both
for
affordable
housing
and
for
making
a
market
right
housing
more
affordable.
We
really
need
to
be
able
to
reduce
parking
Mims
that
people
aren't
having
to
build
parking.
They
don't
need
or
don't
want
and
I
would
encourage
Council
to
continue
to
look
at
improving
that
situation.
AA
AA
The
fact
that
we
tend
to
focus
these
developments
on
high
traffic
car
corridors
tends
to
run
me
the
wrong
way.
It
can
be
good
for
some
types
of
Transit
access,
but
suggests
that
the
only
appropriate
place
to
put
a
portable
housing
is
on
the
noisiest
and
most
polluted
corridors
in
our
cities,
which
is
antithetical
to
what
I
think
the
city
should
be
encouraging.
AA
AB
Hello,
I,
I'm,
David,
Watson
I
am
also
a
member
of
Mountain
View
UMB
same
as
James
for
the
most
part,
I
just
want
to
sort
of
agree
with
everything
you
just
said:
I
I
actually
really
excited
for
this,
because
I
I
also
live
on
Montecito,
not
not
too
far
from
this
project
and
I'm
really
happy
to
see
it
move
forward.
AB
He
talked
about
park
there
being
parking
minimums
and
again
I
again,
Echo
parking
minimums
on
a
on
an
affordable
project
or
really
any
project
are
bad
bad
policy,
and
we
should
you
know,
not
require
especially
affordable
housing
developments
to
to
provide
any
number
of
parking
spaces,
because
it
makes
it
more
expensive
to
provide
this
important,
important
service
of
affordable
housing
in
our
communities.
AB
I
I
know
I've
spoken
to
more
than
one
of
you
about
the
Donald,
Schoop's
High
Cost
of
free
parking
and
he's
very
clear
that
there's
a
lot
of
evidence,
including
literally
from
studies
of
Mountain
View,
that
parking
requirements
are
bad
and
unproductive
and
we
should
get
rid
of
them.
So
I'm
happy
I'll,
be
happy
to
see
this.
This
project
moving
forward
and
I
hope
that
we
can
do
whatever
we
can
to
make
their
projects
like
it
possible
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
E
Do
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
we
can
excellent.
Okay,
thanks
mayor,
okay,
I'm,
going
to
speak
for
two
different
organizations
here,
I'm
going
to
split
this
up.
I
hope
it'll
be
clear.
Speaking
for
Mountain
View
Coalition
for
sustainable
planning,
only
it's
great
to
see
this
project
moving
forward.
Among
other
things,
it
provides
much
needed
housing
at
all
needed,
affordable
levels,
kudos
to
Charities,
Housing
and
Community
Development
for
their
great
work.
Moving
this
forward.
The
natural
materials
are
great
to
see
in
all
aspects
of
the
building
materials
choices
and
in
included
amenities
and
Open
Spaces.
E
We
support
the
inclusion
of
unbumbled
parking
as
well
as
limiting
parking
overall
and
seeing
the
permit
process
for
this
project
expedited
as
much
as
possible
now
also
for
mvcsp
and
for
Silicon
Valley
Bicycle
Coalition
Mountain
View
team.
We're
disappointed
that
the
headshots
you
right
away
extension
apparently
can't
be
entertained
through
Association
of
this
project.
If
we
had
it,
we
could
have
direct
access
for
pedestrians
and
bicyclists
directs.
Manor
Park
Farley
Street
and
the
Permanente
Creek
Trail
to
the
West
we'd
be
able
to
further
leverage
other
ped
bike
improvements
in
the
area.
E
AC
Yes,
good
evening,
Council
honorable
mayor
Jordan
Grimes
on
behalf
of
Greenbelt
Alliance,
we
have
endorsed
1265
Montecito
and
strongly
urge
your
approval
of
it
tonight.
We
really
appreciate
the
extraordinary
effort
the
council
has
gone
to
in
order
to
make
this
project
a
reality.
You've
truly
gone
above
and
beyond
what
most
cities
would
do
and
and
really
do
deserve.
Accommodation
on
that.
We
do
not
see
this
kind
of
effort
everywhere
and
and
Mountain
View
has
consistently
been
a
leader
in
this
regard.
AC
I
should
say
that
Greenbelt
does
not
endorse
every
project
that
comes
before
us.
Nor
is
every
project.
We
review
an
easy
vote
by
our
endorsements
committee.
This
one
was
and
that's
because
it
perfectly
embodies
exactly
what
we
look
for
and
talk
about
in
terms
of
smart
development
principles.
It
is
close
to
high
quality
transit
to
services,
to
grocery
stores,
to
schools.
It
is
in
an
area
rich
in
both
resources
and
amenities.
AC
The
sustainability
green
aspects
like
rooftop,
solar,
the
100
electric
component,
considerable
bark
bike,
parking,
drought,
tolerant,
Landscaping
Etc,
are
are
really
second
to
none
in
in
projects
that
we've
seen
across
the
bay
area
and
then
just
when
it
comes
to
affordability,
This
is
Gonna
sound,
like
a
broken
record
to
everyone
here,
I'm
sure,
but
there's
obviously
an
extreme
dearth
of
extremely
low
and
and
very
low
income,
not
only
in
Mountain
View,
but
across
Santa,
Clara
County.
AC
This
will
go
a
long
way
really
to
to
helping
families
afford
to
live
in
the
area
as
well
as
to
helping
with
Rina
and
really
showing
a
good
faith
effort
at
a
time
when
many
cities
are
are
struggling
to
do
that
during
during
the
housing
element
process.
So
we
really
appreciate
all
your
work
here
and
we
urge
you
to
approve
it
tonight.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
have
a
great
evening.
AD
There
we
go
so
my
name
is
Ingrid
Granado,
so
I'm
here
with
destination
home
and
I'm,
strongly
supporting
the
proposed
General
plan
Amendment
for
the
100,
affordable
housing
development
at
1265,
Montecito
Avenue,
as
we
continue
to
Grapple
with
the
severe
housing
crisis
and
the
homelessness
crisis.
This
new
85
unit
development
will
bring
several
dozen
desperately
needed,
affordable
apartments
to
our
community.
AD
We
are
particularly
happy
to
see
that
this
development
sets
aside
apartments
for
extremely
low
income,
households
of
families
that
are
enrolled
in
the
rapid
rehousing
programs,
which
is
precisely
the
type
of
housing
that
we
need
to
really
address
the
homelessness
crisis
and
end
homelessness
in
our
community.
The
development
consists
of
two
and
three
bedroom
apartments.
It
includes
play
areas,
a
community
room
and
other
common
Open
Spaces.
These
amenities
are
a
great
fit
for
struggling
families.
AD
1265
Montecito
is
situated
close
to
grocery
stores
Transportation,
as
others
have
mentioned,
such
as
the
bus,
Light
Rail,
the
Caltrain.
It's
also
close
to
parks
and
pharmacies
elementary
schools.
These
are
all
amazing
amenities
that
really
make
this
location
great
for
families
to
have
access
to
Community,
Resources,
building,
more
affordable
housing,
Remains
the
most
impactful
action
that
we
can
take
to
address
our
homelessness
crisis,
and
we
urge
you
to
approve
this
proposed
development
without
the
way.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
continued
leadership
and
commitment.
AE
As
a
former
neighbor
to
that
area
for
10
years,
I
left
off
Granada
I
think
this
is
such
a
good
Improvement
to
the
neighborhood.
It
used
to
be
a
Office
Park
that
was
almost
always
empty
with
somehow
always
a
sprinkler
had
broken
and
pouring
out
onto
the
sidewalk.
AE
So
it's
nice
to
see
that
this
is
going
to
be
updated
and
upgraded
to
be
a
much
more
usable
space.
I'm
sure
the
businesses
across
the
street
will
be
great
for
residents,
but
also
the
residents
are
going
to
be
great
for
those
businesses.
There's
some
ones
over
there
that
I've,
always
sort
of
struggled
and
having
so
many
people
able
to
walk
to
them
will
be
great,
also
I,
know:
council,
member
Hicks
was
looking
at
Transportation
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
that
intersection
is
going
to
be
improved.
AE
There'll
also
be
the
Improvement
to
the
overpass
over
Central
and
the
train
tracks
along
Shoreline.
So
hopefully
future
residents
will
also
be
able
to
actually
get
their
stroller
up.
That
hill,
which
I
struggled
with
so
I'm,
really
excited
for
this
and
I
hope
that
Council
continues
to
encourage
this
project.
Thank
you.
AF
Hello:
everyone,
my
name
is
Jessica
Martin,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
Silicon
Valley
at
home,
and
we
just
want
to
express
our
strong
support
of
this
project.
We
think
it
is
wonderfully
designed.
AF
AG
Okay,
good
good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council
City
staff,
my
name
is
Hala
al-showani,
a
long
time
resident
of
Mountain
View
I
wanted
to
also
express
my
support
to
this
development
and
this
project
having
projects
residential
projects
that
are
100
percent,
affordable
housing,
especially
for
low
and
extremely
low
income,
families
is
really
great.
This
is
what
we
really
need
in
Mountain
View.
More
and
more
of
these
developments
that
are
designated
for
affordable
housing
as
many
as
possible.
AG
The
only
hesitation
I
have
about
this
project
is
the
fact
that
they
are
removing
six
Redwood
Heritage
trees,
mature
Heritage
trees
and
I
wish.
There
was
a
way
that
they
can
incorporate
these
these
Heritage
trees
into
the
design
or
maybe
even
move
them
I'm,
not
sure
how
large
they
are.
Some
redwood
trees
actually
can
be,
can
be
relocated.
AG
A
D
Well,
I'd
just
like
to
add
to
the
sort
of
choir
of
people
that
are
singing
the
Praises
of
this.
This
project
people
have
been
you
know,
I've
seen
it
a
number
of
times,
especially
through
nofa
and
I,
was
very
very
pleased
to
be
able
to
support
it
there
and
I'm
so
pleased
to
be
able
to
support
it
here,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
always
I
kept
count
on
ever
since
I
was
on
the
Planning
Commission
and
watched,
affordable
housing
projects
go
through.
D
Luckily,
in
Mountain
View
we
watch
a
lot
of
them
go
through
is
I
I,
do
a
count
of
the
number
of
financing
parts
that
are
with
each
project
and
they
over
the
years
I've
seen
them
range
from
15
to
7..
This
one's
at
nine
and
I
just
bring
that
up,
because
I
think
it's
demonstrative
of
how
much
real,
really
skill
and
expertise
is
involved
in
and
getting
these
projects
through,
and
we
have
developed
the
staff
expertise
to
do
that
and
I'm
really
proud
of
that.
D
I'm
I'm
really
proud
of
our
city
for
doing
that,
and
for
continuing
to
do
it
and
I'm
really
proud
of
the
staff
that
has
that
expertise
so
I
just
you
know,
I
want
to
mention
that,
and
it
looks
like
there
are
a
lot
of
other
hands.
I'd
be
happy
to
make
a
motion,
but
are
there
comments
or
mayor?
What's
the
okay.
D
D
I'm
gonna
move
the
staff
recommendation
to
adopt
a
resolution
of
the
city
of
Mountain
View,
adopting
the
initial
study
negative
declaration
for
the
1265
Montecito
Avenue
residential
project.
Pursuant
to
the
California
Environmental
Quality
act
to
be
read
in
title.
Only
further
reading
waived
adopt
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Mountain
View,
approving
a
general
plan.
D
Approving
a
development
review

to
construct
a
five-story,
affordable

development

84,

to
remove
six
Heritage
trees.
At
1265,
Montecito
Avenue
to
be
read
entitled
only
for
the
reading
waived.
F
Well,
I
can
second
that
motion
as
I'm
strongly
supportive
as
well
I'm
going
to,
as
probably
other
council
members
are
going
to
make
a
few
comments
on
why
I
support
the
project
and
I
won't
list
all
of
them,
because
speakers
have
been
very
articulate
tonight
and
I
would
I.
Would
you
know,
say
a
lot
of
the
same
things
they
said,
but
the
several
things
I
wanted
to
highlight
is
first
at
the
beginning
of
our
council
meeting
today
there
was
some
talk
of
homelessness
and
people
living
in
RVs
and
I.
F
F
You
know
I
really
appreciate
the
architecture
and
Landscape
architecture
of
this
project
and
I'm
raising
that
in
particular,
because
because
sometimes
people
believe
that
when
there's
affordable
housing
in
their
neighborhoods,
it's
not
as
attractive
but
I
actually
think
this
is
I
actually
really
think
that
the
cladding
is
excellent.
The
the
the
massing
I
like
the
way
the
architect
explained
how
they
they
got
to
the
particular
shaping
I,
think
some
of
the
people
in
attendance,
don't
like
rectangular
buildings
and
not
rectangular
buildings,
they're
creative
shapes,
so
so.
F
You
know
a
more
natural
space,
and
so
it's
nice
when
kids
can
go
outside
in
the
city
and
be
in
a
natural
space
that
leads
to
more
creative
play
and
then
I,
look
forward
to
I
like
the
fact
that
the
grocery
stores
across
the
street
and
other
pedestrian-oriented
amenities
and
I
look
forward
to
continual
Improvement
of
pedestrian
amenities
and
Viking
amenities
in
the
area,
so
that
people
really
don't
feel
that
they
need
cars.
F
S
Thank
you,
mayor
I'll.
Try
to
keep
it
short
as
well
as
I
do
also
Echo
a
lot
of
the
comments
that
have
already
been
made
and
100
percent
supportive
of
this
project,
I'm
very
happy
to
see
it
moving
forward.
I
was
actually
thinking.
S
It's
moved
relatively
quickly
compared
to
other,
affordable
projects
we've
had
in
the
past
and
is
to
see
the
number
of
steps
it
takes
and
the
funding
the
complicated
funding
scheme
you
have
to
come
up
with
I,
really
appreciate
that
it's
I
think
moved
on
Long
fairly
at
a
you
know,
fairly
a
good
clip,
and
so
thank
you
to
staff
for
your
hard
work
and
thank
you
to
the
applicant.
S
I
have
high
regard
for
Jerry's
housing
I
had
the
opportunity
to
serve
on
the
board
for
a
short
while
before
I
came
back
onto
Council,
so
I
am
very
familiar
with
their
work
and
they
have
another
project
in
Mountain
View
and
their
High
reputation.
So
it's
great
to
have
them
provide
another
project.
It
I
think
this
is
a
great
location,
as
mentioned
I
think
it
does
provide
opportunity
for
walkability,
as
mentioned
already,
but
the
shopping
center,
but
also
as
a
family
focus
or
the
project
that
allows
for
families
to
live
there.
S
There
is
a
elementary
school
close
by
downtown's,
not
too
far,
I
actually
used
to
live
in
the
Rex
Vanner
neighborhood
very
close
to
this
area,
so
very
familiar
with
the
walkability
and
as
much
as
I
mean
I
do
I
will
say:
I
am
you
know
sad
to
see
some
of
the
Heritage
trees
remove
being
removed,
but
you
know
it
has.
Many
benefits
to
the
project.
Has
many
benefits,
so
it's
a
good
one
and
as
I
will
just
comment,
though,
I
appreciate
the
comments
about
parking
and
trying
to
reduce
parking.
S
But
you
know
I
shared
my
story
at
the
other,
affordable
product
housing
project
that
we
opened
I
forget
when
it
was.
Maybe
it
was
summer.
You
know,
I
was
approached
by
it.
One
of
the
residents
there
saying
that
there
was
not
enough
parking
in
their
project
and
it
unfortunately
Transit
is
you
know
not
quite
sufficient.
I,
do
worry
you
know
being
on
VTA.
S
We
talk
we're
talking
about
not
so
much
VTA,
but
other
ancient
travel
transportation
agencies
facing
a
fiscal
cliff
that
we
all
in
the
transportation
world
are
experiencing
some
challenges,
and
so,
without
a
you
know,
real
guarantee
that
service
levels
will
even
continue
at
what
we
have
now.
I
think
we
do
need
to
can
continue
to
provide
some
parking
for
folks
who
do
need
to
get
to
work
in
a
car.
So
I
think
this
is
a
good
balance
in
the
fact
that
we
are
reducing
our
game.
S
Requirements
is
a
good
step
forward
so
with
that
I
just
want
to
offer
my
comments
of
support.
Thank
you
very
much.
P
Thanks
mayor
just
wanted
to
thank
staff
and
the
applicant
I
think
that
this
you
know
required
some
creativity
from
the
last
time
we
saw
the
the
project
and
I
just
want
to
thank
both
parties
for
bringing
forward
such
an
incredible
project.
I've
been
excited
all
night
to
to
see
this
I
think,
as
was
mentioned
in
public
comments,
so
I
won't
add
anything
additional,
but
there's
two
things
that
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
I
think
are
really
important.
P
This
is
a
I
believe,
the
third
or
fourth
measure
a
funded
project
that
will
be
coming
into
the
city
of
Mountain
View.
I'm,
really
happy
about
that.
I
think
that
that
is
something
that
we
should
all
be
proud
of.
You
know
the
city,
our
partners
in
the
community,
I
I,
think
it's
also
important
to
be
changing
the
face
of
our
unhoused
community
and
with
rapid
re-housing.
These
are
people
that
may
have
had
a
unfortunate
an
emergency
incident
like
you
know,
Healthcare,
emergency
or
laid
off.
P
Who
are
you
know,
looking
for
a
more
stable
housing
situation
and
because
of
the
two
to
three
unit
bedroom
units
we'll
be
able
to
do
that
for
our
families,
which
I
know,
is
a
priority
for
our
entire
community?
So
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that,
and
hopefully
we
can
continue
to
see
creative
Partnerships.
P
The
other
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
yes,
the
county
is
contributing
more,
so
it
will
be
owned
by
the
county
and
I
just
want
to
continue
to
express
my
hope
that
we
can
have
city-owned
property
and
making
sure
that
that
is
on
the
table
still
as
well,
because
I
think
that
that's
the
difference
of
two
million
dollars
for
this
site
and
I
really
think
that
you
know
having
things
within
the
city's
review
in
perpetuity
is
something
of
importance
so
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
thanks
mayor,
oh
and
I'll,
be
supporting
the
motion.
R
You
mayor
well
I,
really
believe
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
beautiful
and
and
very
useful
asset
for
the
city,
and
so
I
want
to
give
my
compliments
to
Charity's
housing
and
City
staff
and
our
County,
electives
and
and
County
staff
as
well,
and
the
voters
for
making
this
happen.
It's
obviously
going
to
be
a
tremendous
benefit
for
the
families
who
live
there,
but
it's
also
an
enormous
benefit
for
anyone
in
our
community
who
might
be
reliant
on
Hospital
workers,
grocery
workers,
child
care
workers.
R
Anyone
who
is
at
the
lower
end
of
the
wage
scale,
but
is
an
essential
worker
for
everyone
else
in
our
community
and
I.
Think
that
this
this
development
and
others
like
it
are
going
to
really
be
a
boon
for
everyone
in
our
community.
In
that
sense,
thank
you.
Q
Thanks
it
sounds
like
a
lot
of
us
are
very
familiar
with
the
area
because
we
lived
there
close
by
and
I
did
as
well.
I
lived
on
Montecito
just
a
few
doors
down
from
this
project,
so
yes,
I'm,
also
very
familiar
with
it.
I
do
appreciate
that
there
are
larger
units.
I
know,
there's
quite
a
demand
for
that.
Q
You
know,
but
I
think.
We
also
need
to
keep
in
mind
that
the
county
is
prioritizing,
who
will
be
living
in
these
units,
and
so
this
is
a
county-wide
benefit,
as
opposed
to
just
a
Mountain.
View
benefit.
Q
Although
I
will
say,
I
do
have
concerns
about
the
parking
while
they
are
providing
a
very
modest
or
they're
leveraging
a
very
modest
amount
of
the
state
density
bonus
law
and
that
allows
them
to
use
the
state
rules
regarding
parking.
But
you
know
you
can
always
provide
more
if
you
want
to.
If
you
think
that
the
residents
that
are
going
to
live,
there
might
need
it.
Q
As
we
heard
you
know,
there
is
at
least
one
other
complex
where
parking
is
a
challenge
and
I.
You
know
we.
Q
We
don't
have
great
public
transit
here,
I'd
like
we
just
have
to
admit
that
we
really
need
it
to
be
better
and
and
in
the
meantime,
I
struggle
with
asking
our
most
vulnerable
residents
to
commute
by
bicycle,
or
you
know
what,
if
you
have
two
jobs
and
you're
racing
between
those,
that's
tough
to
do
if
you're
on
a
bike
or
trying
to
use
public
transit
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
recognize
that
a
lot
of
people
still
are
using
vehicles
and
I
I
personally,
don't
want
to
make
it
harder
on
folks
who
are
struggling
by
not
giving
them
a
place
to
park.
Q
I
wish
there
was
more
personal
storage.
You
know
when
you
have
these
larger
units,
you
might
have
more
stuff.
You
want
to
store
especially
bulky
things,
so
I'm
kind
of
disappointed
that
that
is
not
being
provided.
Q
I
also
am
disappointed
that
the
city
isn't
providing
more
funding
for
this
project
so
that
we
owned
the
property.
I
I
do
think
there
are
a
huge
long-term
benefits
for
the
city,
owning
the
property
and
so
I
wish.
We
would
have
done
that
on
this
one,
but
it
is
a
compliant
project,
like
I
said
so,
I'll
be
supporting
it.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I'll
take
a
quick
turn.
First
I
will
be
supporting
the
motion.
I
I'm
grateful
that
the
applicant
is
providing
the
focus
on
family
units.
We
are
in
desperate
need
of
family
units
and
it's
great
to
see
so
many
in
one
project
I'm
also
glad
to
see
that
we're
focusing
on
extremely
low
and
low-income
households
so
pushing
down
the
Amis.
To
the
greatest
extent,
we're
able
to
I
think
is,
has
also
been
a
focus
for
this
Council,
and
this
project
does
vote
and
that's
very
exciting.
A
I
do
appreciate
I
appreciate
that
there
are
you
know,
compromises
made
along
the
way,
I
personally
support
the
the
parking
reduction.
The
affordable
housing
provider
is
a
very
experienced
one
and
I'm
trusting
them
to
right
size.
The
parking
based
on
the
needs
of
of
the
people
that
they
served
but
I
understand,
I.
Think
that
the
point
is
well
made
that
you
know
that's.
A
Maybe
a
trade
for
some
people
and
I
think
the
other
challenging
point
that
has
come
up
is
the
difficulty
in
finding
funding
for
all
of
the
projects
that
we
want
to
deliver,
and
you
know
with
the
66
million
dollar
deficit
projected
based
on
the
study
session
we
had
in
August.
A
You
know
we
have
to
make
some
some
trade-offs
and
I
think
using
our
funding
as
prudently
as
we're
able
to
and
leveraging
the
external
sources
of
funding
as
best
as
we're
able
to
I
think
will
help
us
deliver
as
many
projects
as
we're
able
to
so
very
supportive
of
the
project.
Thank
you,
staff
for
your
good
work.
I
agree
with
council
member
Robbie
coca,
it's
great
to
see
a
project
that
requires
a
general
plan.
Amendment
and
rezoning
go
through
the
process
very
quickly.
A
That's
very
exciting,
and
thank
you
also
to
Charities
for
for
working
on
this
I'll
note,
100
of
our
public
speakers
supported
the
project.
100
of
the
council
supports
the
project
I
wish
you
were
here
in
the
panel
Kathy
because
I
love
to
ask
you:
don't
you
wish
that
the
City
of
Santa
Clara
were
more
like
the
city
of
Mountain
View
and
with
that,
let's
have
the
roll
call
vote.
A
Thank
you
very
much.

T
At
these

directed

to
remove
the
historic

component
from
the

directing
staff
to
instead
update
the
city's
historic

A
high-level
economic
analysis
was
conducted.
The
key
findings
showed
downtown,
has
desirable
characteristics
but
competes
with
a
retail
region
that
is
mature
and
well
developed.

The
findings

the
proposed

not
change

of

updates,
as
many
of
the

were

would
strongly
recommend.
Now
we
will
be
able
to
require,
through
the

further
the
economic
analysis,
evaluated

found
that

not

rarely
financially

updates,
as
interior
upgrades
can
be

The
analysis
also
evaluated
possible

interventions
such
as

the
public

and
public
experience
of
downtown,
including
nighttime
lighting,
more
seating,

areas
that
expand

promote
activation.
Much
of
what
is
being
proposed
by
the
ongoing
streetscape
improvements
in
the
outdoor
pedestrian
model
being
undertaken
by
the
public
works
department.
A
F
Yes,
thank
you.
I
think
this
is
I.
I
generally
really
appreciated
the
recommendations,
but
I'll
save
those
comments
for
later.
I
have
several
questions.
One
is
that
the
economic
analysis,
part
of
the
economic
Vitality
strategy
that
I
think
was
attachment.
Eight
that
you
referred
to.
F
It
said
a
lot
of
things
that
I,
appreciated
and
agree
with
that.
You
know
retail
and
and
areas
with
retail
and
restaurants.
Retail
is
changing
a
lot
I.
F
There's
a
lot
more
online
shopping
things
that
I
think
all
of
us
know
so
that
places
like
our
downtown
have
to
be
more
of
an
experience.
There
has
to
be
more
place,
making
they
have
to
be
more
destination
oriented,
so
the
economic
analysis
said
that
multiple
different
ways.
My
my
question
is
I-
think
that
we're
we're
going
to
have
probably
have
the
economic
Vitality
strategy
will
come
to
council.
F
But
my
question
is:
if,
if
suggestions
come
out
of
that
regarding
Place
making
and
particularly
ones
that
would
apply
to
the
downtown,
will
there
be
a
way
to
Circle
back
and
put
those
into
the
precise
plan,
particularly
in
the
areas
we're
looking
at
Ag
and
particularly
age,
which
is
I
mean
it
really
is
the
if
you're
talking
about
experience
destination
Place
making?
It
is
the
primary
place
at
this
point
in
Mountain
View.
F
So
that's
my
question:
how
will
we
come
back
and
re-engage
if
we
get
suggestions
from
that
dialogue
that
we
may
have
at
a
future
time.
X
Vice
mayor,
if
I
may
address
that
question,
the
answer
is
yes,
we
have
several
opportunities,
you
know,
even
with
the
the
Castro
Pedestrian
Mall
we're
putting
many
of
these
principles
in
effect
for
The
Pedestrian
realm,
both
in
the
interim
and
then
we'll
be
looking
at
it
for
permanent.
X
So
that
will
be
very
encouraging
where
the
city
looks
at
the
public
realm,
but
the
precise
plan
was
intended
always
to
have
a
phase
two,
where
we
look
at
the
overall
precise
plan,
and
we
could
certainly
Circle
back
with
many
of
these
recommendations
as
well
as
the
ones
we
developed
through
the
economic
Vitality
strategy
to
make
sure
that
they
become
part
of
either
the
public
realm
or
the
streetscape
plan,
so
that
you
know
many
of
these
buildings
that
are
older
can
be
positioned
in
a
in
a
better
way
to
capture
the
the
market,
and
then
some
of
these
will
involve
education
and
I
work
with
the
chamber.
X
In
fact,
we
just
had
a
meeting
where
we
talked
about
how
important
it
was
for
the
chamber
to
be
a
partner
in
in
making
sure
that
businesses
understood
what
their
options
are.
And
then
we
will
have
to
look
at
many
of
the
development
standards,
including
parking
as
part
of
all.
This.
F
F
F
Get
a
lot
of
comments
on
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
there's
no,
that
you're
recommending
not
to
have
administrative
office
on
the
ground
floor,
but
I
get
a
lot
of
comments
on
Food
Services
on
the
ground
floor
that
are
not
open
to
the
public
and
in
particular,
there's
one
on
Church
in
Castro
that
that
people
complain
about
to
no
end
and
so
I'm
wondering
whether
we
need
something.
In
addition,
I
mean
it's
not
an
administrative
office.
F
Do
we
need
some
clarifying
words
about
no
Food
Service,
no
private,
Food,
Services
on
the
ground
floor
or
no
lobbies
on
the
ground
floor.
That's
also
I
think
there's
a
building
on
Villa
called
Bryant
Plaza.
F
That
I've
also
heard
a
lot
about
complaining
about
because
it's
a
Lobby
on
the
ground
floor
and
it's
designed
as
a
Lobby,
so
I'm
wondering
if
we
should
insert
if
there's
any,
if
you
think
there's
any
usefulness
in
I
mean
I
guess
it
doesn't
hurt
to
insert
a
few
words
just
to
be
super
specific
about
those
two
things
so
that
so
that
nobody
says
that
buy
right.
They
can
do
that.
You
know
and
then
it's
no
longer
a
public.
It's
it's
not
open
to
the
public.
It's
not
activating
this
space.
X
I
would
say:
lobbies
are
typically
on
the
ground
floor
and
we
have
several
examples
of
building
lobbies.
I
mean
if
you
look
at
some
of
the
busiest
most
pedestrian
friendly
cities,
they
do
have
lobbies
and
people
do
go
in
and
out.
So
we
do
see
this
as
a
ground
floor
use,
and
so
what
I
would
suggest
vice
mayor
is
for
us
to
maybe
take
it
up
as
part
of
the
whole
gamut
of
land
use
discussions
as
part
of
the
next
phase.
X
To
take
a
look
at
you
know
what
truly
activates
the
street.
What's
the
reality
of
the
world,
you
know
because
one
of
the
issues
we
have
to
look
at
is:
is
it
better
to
let
something
sit
vacant
as
opposed
to
allowing
a
certain
use,
and
so
some
of
these
things
we
want
to
sort
out
and
bring
back
to
you
as
a
result
of
some
of
the
economic
analysis
and
the
economic
Vitality
strategy.
X
So
my
suggestion
would
be
to
give
us
a
little
time
to
look
at
that
before
we
make
any
changes,
but
lobbies,
I,
I,
do
know
six
I.
Think
660.
The
the
low
boulanger
building,
for
example,
has
a
building
Lobby
on
the
ground
floor
and
and
entrance,
and
so
we
we
do
have
some
of
those
uses
so
it'd
be
very
hard
to
prevent
them.
X
F
Yeah,
that's
I
mean
I'm
I,
so
I'm
mulling
that
over
now
but
I
have
to
say
at
the
same
time
the
precise
plan
amendments
that
are
being
suggested
talk
about
on
the
first
three
blocks
in
area
H,
allowing
the
buildings
to
go
up
beyond
the
current
one
on
two
stories
in
many
places
to
multiple
stories
with
step
backs
that
all
sounds
fine
to
me,
but
it
could.
F
If
we
allow
lobbies
it
could
create
a
situation
where
much
of
the
downtown
is
offices
with
lobbies
on
the
ground
floor
and
that's
that's
not
going
to
be
a
vibrant
situation.
That's
not
something!
You
know
if
we
don't
do
if
we
allow
that
by
right,
I'm
going
to
be
very
unhappy,
so
you
know
one
lobby
after
another.
Stretching
down
much
of
the
downtown
is
something
that
that
I
really
would
not
or
private
Food
Services
I.
F
Think
that,
though
we
need
some
language,
you
know
I
do
what
you
recommend,
but
those
are
things
that
are
concerning
to
me
because
they
have
happened
in
the
past
and
then
my
last
question
is
about
income
Pages,
67
and
95.
It
refers
to
parks
and
open
space
in
the
downtown,
and
it
I
think
it
says
that
there
we
should
have
10
feet
of
open
space
and
a
six
foot
walkway
minimum
I
believe
the
walkway
is
a
sidewalk
so
that
the
the
10
feet
could
be
a
planting
strip
with
a
six
foot.
F
Four
foot
planting
strip
with
a
six
foot-
foot
sidewalk
I'm
here
I'm
concerned
that
that
ASCO
taller
when
I
go
to
other
cities.
The
six
foot
is
a
fairly
minimal
sidewalk
and
when
I
go
to
others,
I
went
to
Chicago,
they
had
30
foot
sidewalks
I.
Don't
think
we
need
that
here,
but
a
a
six
foot
sidewalk
is
pretty
narrow.
If
we're
going
up
a
number
of
stories
like
four
feet,
you
know
volume
of
new
people
that
we're
putting
on
the
street.
F
It
would
tend
to
push
people
into
the
street
and
also
not
allow
kind
of
sight
lines
so
that
people
can
see
around
corners
and
I
think
we
ran
into
this
problem
when
I
was
recused
from
it.
But
I
listened
to
it
when
we
were
doing
the
sobrato
office
on
the
corner
of
church
and
Church
in
Castro
and
I.
F
Think
the
this
so
that
building
was
is
the
plan
is
to
build
it
to
a
fairly
narrow,
sidewalk
and
take
out
the
green
space
and
I
think
the
Green
Space
allowed
sight
lines
for
people.
So
when
kids
run
out
of
the
library
in
Pioneer
Park,
for
instance,
you
could
which
my
kids
did
a
lot
and
then
cars
are
pulling
out.
It
was
safer
and
I.
Think
very
narrow,
sidewalks
on
very
in
very
public
places
are
not
a
good
with
higher
buildings.
Are
not
a
good
idea.
F
I'm
not
concerned
about
Castro
Street
if
we
close
it
to
cars,
people
can
spill
out
on
the
street
and
not
be
pushed
into
the
street,
but
I
am
concerned
in
some
other
areas
and
I'm
concerned
where
the
police
station
is
right.
Now
that
if
we
build
I'm
all
for
an
earth,
that's
area
Jesus.
Is
it
area
a
or
energy?
F
You
know
I'm
concerned
that
if
we
go
up
several
stories
to
a
three
or
four
story,
cousin
project
or
police
station
I
know
it's
an
urban
area.
We
can
build
the
sidewalk
right
up
to
the
building.
But
if
that's
going
to
be
a
a
six
foot
walkway
or
a
10
foot
setback
I
think
that's
not
adequate
for
and
I
think
we'll
run
into
the
same
problem
that
we
did
with
the
sobrato
building
and
people
will
council
members
will
say
yeah.
It
doesn't
look
right,
but
there's
nothing.
F
X
Think
I
think
that's
certainly
something
that
we'll
need
to
take
a
look
at,
and
you
know,
for
example,
the
sobrato
building
was
in
area
J.
So
as
we
do,
the
precise
plan
phase
two
I
think
some
of
the
questions
we're
going
to
have
to
ask
ourselves.
Is
you
know
what
kind
of
streetscape
do
we
need
do?
Sidewalks
have
to
be
wider?
X
Do
we
have
to
raise
fars
and
densities
to
make
up
for
the
difference,
so
we
need
to
kind
of
do
a
little
more
careful
looking
at
this,
but
we
can
certainly
make
notes
for
that
second
phase
and
make
sure
that
we're-
including
some
of
these
some
of
these
recommendations.
AH
Let
me
sorry
assistant
city
manager.
Let
me
just
jump
in
here.
The
the
standards
in
the
precise
plan
at
this
time
are
for
private
property
they're,
not
for
sidewalks,
so
we
developed
a
new
standard
that
sets
minimum
widths
for
pedestrian
pets
through
open
areas
on
private
property.
AH
Now
the
updating,
the
sidewalk
Dimensions,
if
that's
something
that
you're
interested
in
doing,
is
part
of
phase
two
that
could
apply
more
broadly
to
the
precise
plan
as
a
whole,
especially
along
with
other
public
improvements
that
are
happening.
You
know
like
The,
Pedestrian,
closure
of
of
Castro
and
other
other
improvements,
so
focusing
narrowly
here
on
on
private
property.
F
Okay,
that's
that's
good
to
know.
I'll,
say
I'm
recused
from
phase
two,
so
I'm
not
talking
about
that
so
but
I.
It
is
something
that
I'm
concerned
about.
Actually
I've
brought
this
up
under
the
previous
agenda
item
I'm
actually
concerned
about
it
all
over
the
city
that,
as
we
go
taller
we
need
to.
You
know
we
can't
create
tall
auto-oriented
suburbs.
We
we're
trying
to
create
an
urban
place
that
allows
people
to
walk
and
allows
crowds
to
walk
on
the
street
without
being
pushed
into
the
street.
F
And
you
know
a
lot
of
sight
lines
and
looks,
looks
and
feels
appropriate.
So
you
don't
feel
like
you
have
to
get
in
your
car
because
it
has
a
tiny
little
sidewalk
next
to
a
tall
building.
You
know
where
you
squeezed
between
a
tall
building
and
a
street
a
busy
street.
That's
what
I
want
and
I
think
we're,
not
Mountain
View
in
particular,
but
I.
Think
much
of
Silicon
Valley
is
kind
of
not
looking
at
that
enough
and
and
ignoring
pedestrians.
D
Yeah
I
was
wondering
whether
on
medical
offices
and
dental
offices
would
be
included
in
the
administrative
offices
that
are
not
allowed,
or
would
they
be
allowed.
AH
So
yes,
they
would
be
allowed
provisionally,
but
we
have
a
standard
that
says
that
you
can't
kind
of
close
off
the
windows
or
reduce
The
Pedestrian
interest
with
the
provisional
use.
So
a
dentist
office
or
a
medical
office
would
have
to
be
designed
in
such
a
way
that
there
is
some
kind
of
retail
or
shopping
interest
in
the
front.
A
good
example
of
that
is
the
there's
an
optometrist
on
Castro
Street,
and
so
of
course,
that
has
a
kind
of
shopping
experience
in
the
front.
AH
There
are
also
a
number
of
other
medical
uses
that
are
sometimes
associated
with
like
spas
and
things
like
that
that
where
there
might
be
some
kind
of
you
know
products
in
the
front
for,
like
you,
know,
Spa
type
products,
shampoos,
soaps
things
like
that,
so
those
types
of
things
would
be
appropriate.
D
Good
I
think
that
I
think
that
that
that's
part
of
what
we
can
fight
the
amazonization
is
that
the
word
of
of
our
shopping
areas,
but
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
really
surprised
by
as
I
read
through
this
was
kind
of
the
lack
of
discussion
of
Windows
and
what
needs
to
be
in
Windows.
You
know
it
seems
to
me
when
I
think
about
the
the
vibrancy
of
of
the
downtown.
What
really
is
a
Bad
Thing
versus
a
good
thing?
D
Is
vacant
storefronts
with
dirty
windows
and
there's
nothing
in
here
about
that
and
I.
Think
that
is
a
big
or
is
there
did
I
just
not
see
it
I
I
can't
say
I
was
I
was
studying
some
other
things,
a
little
more
than
I
studied
this
one?
Is
there
something
about
you
know
they
can
windows.
X
I'll
I'll,
let
Eric
expand
on
this,
but
I
think
we
look
at
development
and
then,
if
there
are
issues
with
operational,
we
have
to
kind
of
do
the
high
touch
going
and
meeting
with
property
owners
and
trying
to
get
them
to
comply,
because
that's
really
what
you
need.
We
could
write
the
rules,
but
and
and
the
property
owners
know
what
the
rules
are,
which
is
they're
they're
supposed
to
keep
their
property
clean.
X
They're,
not
supposed
to
you
know,
leave
their
property
in
disrepair,
but
a
lot
of
this
then
becomes
so
the
back
end,
with
planning
Economic,
Development
sort
of
combination
of
people
going
in
and
meeting
with
them,
so
I'm
afraid
it's
probably
not
something
we
can
resolve
with
a
precise
plan
or
just
having
wording
it.
It
actually
requires
us
it's
implied,
and
even
if
we
did
word
it
that
way,
we
would
still
need
to
do
all
this
additional
work.
We
have
the
tools
in
order
to
enforce
it.
X
I
think
the
problem
is
property
owners
are
just
not
interested
or
resisting,
and
that's
been
our
history.
Well.
D
D
D
This
has
gotten
to
be
a
pervasive
problem
and
so
I
think
that
we
need
to
or
I
I
would
posit
that
that
that
maybe
we
really
need
to
be
hitting
it
on
all
fronts
and
and
having
it
included
in
the
planning
document
is
one
of
those
fronts
and
I
also
am
a
proponent
of
maybe
this
is
getting
into
comments.
D
I
think
I
think
it's
more
valuable
to
have
explicit,
explicit
statements
of
what
is
expected
and
required
than
implicit
ones,
and
I
was
looking
for
comments
about
Windows
and
I
didn't
find
them.
So
I
would
think
that
that
would
be
true,
for
you
know
for
other
owners,
so
I
I
really
think
we
need
to
if
what
we
want
to
do
is
make
our
downtown
vibrant,
which
is
what
I
want
to
do.
I
think
that's
what
we
all
want
to
do.
D
We've
got
to
get
on
top
of
this.
This
you
know
this
vacant
windows
problem
and
I.
Would
you
know
I
I'm,
not
sure
where
the
appropriate
place
for
that
is,
but
I
would
think
we.
D
You
know
we
need
to
have
some
sort
of
a
rule
that
says
basically
something
along
the
lines
of
you
know
if
you're,
if
your
crop
property
is
vacant
for
more
than
say
three
months
six
months,
you've
got
to
put
in
attractive
displays
in
the
window
and
or
allow
the
city
to
do
it
and
pay
the
money.
I
mean
I.
Think
we
need
to
work
on
some
stuff
like
that.
D
So
I'm
not
sure
whether
this
is
the
right
place
for
them,
as
I
said,
but
I
just
feel
like
it's,
not
a
one-off
issue
anymore.
It's
it's
gotten
to
be
really
pervasive,
so
I
I'm
very
concerned
about
what
is
the
best
way
to
tackle
it.
X
I
think
you
bring
up
some
really
good
points:
council,
member
and
ones
we've
been
asking
ourselves.
X
These
issues
are
exactly
what
we
hope
to
tackle
in
the
economic
Vitality
strategy
and
bring
a
slew
of
issues
and
items
and
to
the
extent
that
we
get
fold
it
as
part
of
a
land
use
document.
We
will
look
at
doing
that.
So
I
know
that
you
know
we
have
to
look
at
what
rights
the
city
has
on
private
property,
and
so
we
need
to
sort
some
of
these
issues
out.
But
we
get
the
point
and
then
we've
got
the
economic
Vitality
strategy
that
might
have
programs.
X
We
have
the
phase
two
update
that
could
build
in
any
land
use
items
and
then
certainly
we'll
be
working
with
the
chamber
on
doing
a
lot
of
the
Outreach
and
I.
Think
areas.
Ag
and
H
are
the
ones
that
we
want
to
focus
on
and
they're
very
aware
of
the
not
just
the
council,
but
the
community's
frustration
about
this.
D
Thank
you
and
I
I
would
also
wonder:
does
this
fall
into
the
realm
of
a
public
nuisance
and,
and
is
there
some?
Is
there
some
hook
that
we
have
through
that
so
yeah.
X
We
have
used
that
in
the
past,
so
you
know
we
try
to
the
high
touch
we
work
with
the
chamber,
and
then
you
know
our
our.
What
I
call
our
last
resort
is.
You
know,
reluctantly
to
move
into
the
enforcement
realm,
because
we
know
some
of
these
property
owners
are
hurting
they're
not
able
to,
but
we
also
know
those
who
are
just
resisting
a
lot
of
this.
So
we'll
have
a
slew
of
actions.
X
R
Where
does
it
go
to
prohibit
that
and
I
think
it's
Way
Beyond
the
chamber,
we've
kind
of
played
footsie
with
that,
for
you
know
quite
a
while
now,
like
the
entire
time
that
I've
been
on
Council
and
and
we've
coddled,
the
the
property
owners,
some
of
which
are
are
low
income
and
struggling,
many
of
which
are
not,
and
and
it's
really
that
they
don't
just
they
just
don't
give
a
damn.
And
so
how
do
we
get
to
the
point
of
actually
moving?
R
X
The
precise
plan
allows
us
to
go
in
and
force
some
of
this,
because
the
rules
are
very
clear
and
and
raw
plywood
is
not
one
of
the
finishes
they're
allowed
to
have,
and
so
let
us
get
back
to
you
I
think
we
can
certainly
report
back
to
the
to
the
council
as
part
of
some
of
this
work
in
terms
of
I
know
we're
working
with
Economic,
Development
planning
and
Public
Works
are
working
in
sync
on
on
several
things
going
on
along
Castro,
and
we
can
expand
that
frustrations
on
the
side,
streets
and
kind
of
back
with
the
strategy.
X
R
Think
we've
got
to
get.
We've
got
to
find
out
here
on
Council
how
we
get
enforcement,
at
least
on
Castro,
Street
and
and
Economic
Development,
the
chamber
we're
going
to
talk
to
people
all
these
different
things,
don't
work,
and
so
we've
been
trying
that
through
a
lot
of
different
venues
and
it's
gotten
to
a
Breaking
Point.
R
R
To
read
that
I
guess
it's
page
eight
here
about
the
the
administrative
office
uses
on
the
ground
floor
so
way
back
when
we
had
303
Bryant
Street
on
the
corner
of
Bryant
and
Dana,
and
it
was
gonna
temporarily
for
a
couple
years,
be
administrative
offices
for
PayPal
and
then
it
was
going
to
go
to
ground
floor
retail
and
and
but
we
gave
them
like
a
couple
years
to
you
know:
do
this
so
now:
Flash
Forward,
it's
20
some
years
later,
and
the
windows
on
that
building
are
all
black
mirrored
windows.
R
So
it
is
absolutely
positively
The.
Dead
Zone
and
I
can
say
that
there's
there's
no
woman
who
wants
to
walk
by
there
and
you
know
I
I,
just
I,
didn't
see
anything
in
here
about
people
that
are
that
are
just
you
know,
gaming.
The
system,
all
all
that
I
see,
is,
is
permissiveness
for
the
black
mirrored
Windows,
because
we're
going
to
grandfather
it
in
and
then
just
leave
it
that
way
and,
and
so
I
want
to
like
how
do
we
get?
R
What
should
we
be
doing
to
get
to
the
point
that
we
don't
have
this
going
on
and
this
this
kind
of
gaming
of
the
system
going
on.
X
Council
member
I
think
I'll
let
Eric
maybe
respond
to
I
I'm,
not
I,
don't
have
the
background
of
the
Bryant
and
Dana
project
I'll.
Let
him
respond
to
the
history
on
that
and
we
can
discuss
what
the
precise
man
can
do.
AH
Sure
so
I,
you
know,
I,
don't
have
all
the
history
on
the
project.
Clearly
you
know
the
the
building
can
is
in
a
location
where,
as
part
of
area
age
on
the
cross
streets,
it
was
encouraged.
It's
always
been
encouraged
that
there
be
retail
there,
but
Administrative
Office
allowed
as
a
provisional
use.
They
do
have
a
provisional
use
permit
for
ground
floor
office
in
that
location.
AH
AH
You
know,
just
in
general,
it's
good
to
remember
that
when
a
use
or
when
a
location
has
a
provisional
use,
permit
that
that
use
permit
does
run
with
the
land,
and
so
the
city
can't
well
in
in
general,
in
in
historically
the
city
has
allowed
uses
to
continue
in
such
situations
when
they
become
non-conforming
until
such
a
point
as
they
become
vacant
for
a
period
of
time.
AH
Now
the
language
in
the
the
draft
language
before
you
doesn't
have
that
you
know,
must
become
conforming
if
vacant
for
a
period
of
time,
and
that
was
a
lot
of
discussion
with
the
EPC.
Should
we
force
them
to
become
something
other
than
admin
office
if
the
if
they
are?
AH
If
that
space
is
vacant
for
a
period
of
time,
staff
determined
that
it
would,
it
would
require
more
Outreach
with
the
property
owner
that
it
could
that
you
know
we
we
had
published
this
draft
previously
and
that
to
to
change
this
between
EPC
and
Council
could
be
an
issue
with
this
and
a
few
other
property
owners
in
the
area
there.
AH
We
did
account
of
how
many
admin
office
uses
there
are
currently
on
the
ground
floors
in
these
areas
and
there's
only
about
two
or
three,
including
303
Brian.
AH
So
the
you
know
the
gaming
of
the
system,
you
know
I
think,
is
consideration
for
Council
and,
if
you're
concerned
about
this
particular
location,
it's
certainly
Council
can
can
direct
staff
to
or
can
can
adopt,
the
recommendation
with
the
modification
to
end
that
that
non-conforming
status
after
a
period
of
vacancy,
but
that
was
the
discussion
with
bpc
and
and
the
on
the
status
of
of
303
Bryant.
Does
that
answer
your
question.
R
Partially
and
I
want
to
confirm
my
understanding
of
it,
so
my
my
sense
of
things
is
that
it
will
likely
never
go
through
a
period
of
vacancy
because
it's
office
space,
it's
in
a
prime
location,
they've
they've,
been
we've
been
permissive
about
allowing
them
to
completely
Black
Mirror
out
their
windows,
and
so
so
there's
never
going
to
be
a
a
time
when
it's
vacant,
for
you
know
six
months
and
we
can
say
Hey,
you
know
now
we
need
to
go
back
to
what
you
agreed
to
initially
or
what
the
conditions
of
development
were,
and
so
do
we
have
anything
that
deals
with.
R
You
know:
I
noticed
that
the
the
office
that's
at
250,
Bryant
Street,
their
windows
are
obscured,
but
I
think
that
they're
translucent,
and
so
they
don't
give
the
same
Sinister.
We
don't
care
about
the
street
at
all.
R
You
know
we're
only
here
to
suck
out
what
what
we
need
and
take
off,
but
do
we
have
any
way
to
deal
with
the
the
mirrored
windows.
I
know
that
down
here
in
area
e
or
whatever
is
below
E.
You
know
where
the
vice
mayor
talked
about
the
the
folks
that
have
a
cafeteria
on
the
ground
floor
and
then
there's
smashed
food
against
the
window.
That
just
sits
there
for
like
two
months
and
and
no
one
cares
to
clean
it
up
and
and
I.
Don't
know
how
we
could
deal
with
that.
AH
I
think
Edgar
can
confirm,
but
there
are
standards
yeah.
There
is
a
standard
that
a
minimum
of
60
of
the
ground
floor,
building
facade
along
Castro
and
45
of
the
ground
floor.
Building
facade
across
cross
streets
shall
have
Windows
or
doors.
T
X
AH
You
know
if
it's
it
as
a
non-conforming
situation,
it
could
be
a
situation
where
they
might
need
to
ask
for
another
permit,
although
this
is
one
of
those
fairly
yeah
that
that's
the
worst
case
scenario,
but
that's
something
that
we
can
look
into
in
terms
of
enforcement
of
any
kind
of
previous
permit
or
previous
design
review.
R
Okay,
I
I
would
I
would
really
really
appreciate
that
and
I
know
that
we
have
various
places
in
the
downtown
that
I've
I've
forwarded
the
addresses
to
staff
and
said
hey.
R
This
is
really
off
from
what
the
the
the
developer
agreed
to,
and
you
know
luckily,
I
was
here
20
years
ago,
so
I
remember
some
of
these
Ironclad
commitments
from
various
folks
and
I
think
that
I
I'm
really
interested
to
see
what
what
we
could
do,
because
they're
just
laughing
all
the
way
to
the
bank
and
and
it's
beyond
the
chamber,
it's
beyond
Economic
Development.
R
It's
are
we
going
to
be
real
with
people,
because
I
know
that
you
know
homeowners,
we
have
code
enforcement
and
if
somebody
is
straying
on
the
on
their
outdoor
storage
and
or
they
have
a
condition
where
they
have
maybe
some
hoarding
going
on
or
something
like
that,
we
have
actual
people
that
go
in
and
you
know
help
to
get
it
to
stop.
R
P
Great
thank
you.
I
had
a
couple
questions,
so
one
of
them
was
about
the
pipeline
provision.
So
I
know
that
there
was
another
question
that
was
submitted
via
Council
questions
about
the
projects
that
might
be
exempt
and
I
know
that
in
our
stock
reported
listed
as
September
22
date,
I
do
know
that
there's
another
project
that
has
been
in
the
works
for
gosh
I.
P
Think
since
I
was
on
Planning
Commission,
so
over
four
years
now
at
705
Dana,
where
they
were
trying
to
acquire
the
parcel
next
door,
and
then
that
didn't
work
out
and
it's
a
long-term
ground
lease,
and
so
there
isn't
as
much
flexibility
there.
And
so
you
know
with
that
September
20
I
think
what
is
it
applications
received
by
September
15
2022?
Is
there
any
way
that
that
Council
can
give
feedback
tonight?
That
can
maybe
extend
that
to
the
end
of
the
year.
P
AH
These
amendments
is
that
they
would
they're
they're
largely
designed
and
they're
largely
focused
on
standards
that
have
already
been
part
of
discussion
with.
AH
AH
AH
You
know
not
office
on
the
ground
floor
and
so
again
that
is
consistent
with
the
major
changes
that
we
have
in
the
precise
plan.
So
it's
really
up
to
council
when
you
want
to
set
the
the
grandfathering
or
the
pipeline
provision,
but
you
know
this
particular
project,
and
you
know
they
I
can't
speak
for
them.
AH
Obviously,
there
may
be
other
issues
that
they
have
with
the
the
the
precise
plan
amendments,
but
we
we
did
talk
to
them
during
the
process,
and
so
it
really
is
up
to
council
and
and
whether
the
there
are
specific
standards
that
you
may
want
to
grant
that
flexibility
to
for
for
that
project
or
other
projects
that
might
come
in
in
the
next
month.
P
Okay,
I
think
high
level.
What
I'm
hearing
from
staff
is
given
the
staff
recommendations
tonight
that
project
shouldn't
have
an
issue
because
they're
pretty
consistent
with
the
direction
that
we're
going
in
in
relation
to
the
downtown
precise
plan
amendments.
So
we
don't
need
to
worry
about
the
pipeline
provision
date.
I.
Think
that's
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
correct.
AH
I
mean
I,
I
would
say
again:
I
I
can't
speak
for
the
applicant
on
this
issue.
They
you
know
they
may
be.
You
know
planning
to
speak
tonight
or
something
like
that,
so
it
it
I
I
think
the
you
know.
We
have
been
keeping
an
eye
out
on
four
projects
and
things
that
we've
been
reviewing
informally,
as
we've
been
developing
these
and
and
kind
of
looking
out
for
these
potential
issues.
We've
also
been
very
transparent
with
the
community
about
these
standards.
AH
We
haven't
gotten
comments
of
concern
on
these
standards
so
from
those
particular
applicants,
so
I
think
that's
what
I
can
say
and
that
we
continue
to
recommend
an
earlier
pipeline
provision
date,
because
when
you
set
the
pipeline
provision
date
later,
you
might
get
Shenanigans.
You
know
people
submitting
things
half
you
know
half-baked,
and
so
that
is
something
to
consider
as
well.
P
Okay,
so
this
is
what
I'm
going
to
supermise
from
the
staff
answers
to
my
questions,
so
I'm
comfortable,
then,
with
the
staff
recommendation
of
the
September
15
2022
date.
It
sounds
like
the
project
that
I
was
asking
about.
That's
been
in
the
works
for
several
years
would
adhere
to
the
direction
that
we're
going
in
not
Consulting
with
the
applicant,
but
that's
what
it
sounds
like.
So
that
is
what
I
am
going
to
take
away
from
this
exchange,
and
so
that
that's
fine
by
me.
P
My
second
question
has
to
do
with
we've
received
some
constituent
emails
about
vacancy
tax
and
I
know
that
we
as
a
council
have
discussed
that
a
bit.
So
is
that
something
that
Council
can
expect
to
hear
as
part
of
the
economic
Vitality
study
report,
or
when
will
that
be
part
of
this?
That
is
okay,
I'm,
seeing
council.
X
P
Okay,
so
I
think
you
know
I'm
Gonna
Save.
My
comments
related
to
our
relationship
with
landlords
for
that
discussion,
but
I
do
want
to
add
something
to
the
specific
amendments
that
I
thought
was
lacking
and
I'm,
not
sure
the
place
where
we
can
put
this
in,
which
is
last
year
in
particular,
when
I
was
mayor
and
I
went
and
I
did
visits
with
businesses
on
Castro.
P
A
lot
of
the
feedback
I
received
was
about
lighting
particularly
related
to
safety,
and
that
often
there
are
issues
in
certain
parts
of
the
downtown
area
because
it's
not
as
well
lit
so
in
particular
Cherry
Lane
in
area,
a
a
that
is
right.
Next
to
our
public
parking
garage.
You
know
cars
drive
through
it,
there's
also
kind
of
random
parking
spots.
It's
quite
dark,
it's
not
very
safe,
but
we
have
a
crosswalk
that
a
pedestrian
walkway.
P
That
brings
you
to
that
parking
garage
and
that's
not
very
well
lit
either
so
I,
don't
know
where
that
amendment
can
be,
and
I
would
maybe
put
that
under
the
bucket
of
like
lighting
infrastructure,
because
a
lot
of
the
comments
I
got
were
related
to
safety.
So
I'm
not
sure
where
we
could
include
that.
But
I
would
say
to
me
that
includes
all
areas
of
the
downtown
precise
plan.
Y
If
I
may
Don,
Cameron
Public
Works
director
I
will
note
that
about
three
years
ago,
I
believe
it
is.
We
completed
a
downtown
lighting
study
that
went
through
the
entire
downtown
area
and
made
recommendations,
for
you
know
improving
and
enhancing
lighting
overall,
but
also
taking
into
consideration
dark
sky
compliance.
Y
What
we
need
to
do
is
go
back
and
look
at
it
again,
and
the
goal
was
that
all
the
recommendations
combined
would,
of
course,
be
dealing
with
what
we
would
do
in
the
public
right-of-way,
which
is
mostly
what
you're
talking
about
here
will
will
be
major
infrastructure
projects
fairly
costly
and
one
of
the
goals
was
to
look
at
putting
in
into
the
capital
Improvement
program
over
time.
You
know
starting
to
work
on
these
lighting
enhancements
throughout
the
downtown
and
in
phases.
P
Great,
thank
you
because
I
think
to
me
you
know
the
the
CIP
you
know.
Project
list
sounds
like
the
right
place,
but
I
feel
like
it's
also
kind
of
tied
into
what
we've
been
talking
about
with,
like
The,
Pedestrian
Mall
and
the
infrastructure
we're
trying
to
create
there.
So
I
see
those
as
closely
aligned,
and
so
hopefully
we
can
kind
of
weave
those
together
as
well,
which
I'm
sure
you're
already
doing,
but
just
wanted
to
ask
that
question
and
then
the
last
question
I
have
is
about
the
amendment
table.
P
So
for
one
I
appreciate
the
table,
I
I
know
that
we've
been
talking
about.
We
talked
about
tables
in
a
different,
a
meeting
but
I,
but
I
really
appreciate
the
visual
representation,
but
when
it
talks
about
areas
implemented
so
and
it
talks
about
the
previous
standard
guidelines,
so
there's
none.
So
when
was
this
implemented
because
Council
would
be
approving
the
Amendments
tonight.
So
can
I
get
some
clarity
on
that.
P
All
of
them,
because
a
lot
of
them
say
none
or
it
says
a
previous
standard
and
then
it
says
areas
implemented.
So
when
we
have
tonight's
action,
then
will
these
be
implemented
or
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
that
part
of
the
table?
The
visual
representation?
Yes,.
AH
Sorry
I
think
the
we
were
just
trying
to
be
efficient
in
terms
of
space,
because
those
particular
categories
had
less
information,
so
we
stacked
them
they're,
not
related
to
each
other,
so
in
EV.
All
of
these
are
new
standards
that
are
before
the
council
tonight
and
if
Council
approves
the
status
of
recommendation,
they
would
all
be
they
would
all
be
adopted
in
the
areas
so
designated
when
it
says
previous
standard
or
guideline.
AH
That's
really
just
saying
is
this
taking
a
previous
previous
language
and
modifying
it
or
promoting
it
from
a
guideline
to
a
standard?
That's
all
that
section
is
talking.
Does
that
answer
your
question.
P
Yes,
so
I'm
just
going
to
reiterate
to
make
sure
that
I
heard
correctly
so
on
the
table
when
it
says
the
previous
standard
guideline
you're
just
telling
us
what
the
current
status
is
for
the
city
in
the
downtown
and
then
for
the
areas
implemented.
This
is
where,
on
our
downtown
precise
plan
map,
these
will
be
implemented
when
we
fingers
crossed
approve
everything
tonight.
Correct
yes,
okay,
perfect,
thank
you
for
the
clarification
thanks
mayor.
R
Thank
you,
mayor,
I'm,
I'm,
sorry
to
double
dip,
but
a
question
was
occasioned
by
some
of
the
answers
that
were
given
to
council
member
committee's
good
questions
and
so
I'm
I'm.
Very
glad
to
hear
that
Council
will
get
information
about
a
vacancy
tax
for
for
our
downtown
and
is.
Is
there
a
process
by
which
we
could
get
information
about
an
eminent
domain
strategy
in
terms
of
the
the
buildings
that
are
just
derelict.
X
Council
member
I
think
we'll
have
to
take
that
back
and
discuss
it
because
eminent
domain
implies
the
city
would
would
take
it
over
and
I
I.
Don't
know
that
we
have
a
funding,
source
and
I
think
I'm
going
to
have
to
definitely
discuss
it
with
City
manager's
office,
Public,
Works
and
the
city
attorney's
office
to
see
what
options
we
have
and
we
can
fold
any
and
all
options
related
to
vacancy
into
the
economic
Vitality
strategy
to
look
at
Best,
Practices
and
based
on
what
we
find.
R
Yeah
I
I
think
that
there
would
be.
That
would
be
very
helpful
and
from
the
council
perspective,
it
would
be
very
helpful
to
no.
What
are
the
parameters
on
ongoing
situations?
How
many
years
do
we
need
to
wait
with
buildings
that
are
are
completely
derelict
before
we
could?
We
could
take
an
action
and
I
I
think
we've
kind
of
gotten
to
that
point.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
did
have
one
question
related
also
to
the
pipeline
provision.
A
A
AH
They're
submitting
a
mod
ulation
to
their
previous
approval,
their
modification
has
very
little
change
to
the
the
building
itself.
AH
AH
Nonetheless,
it
you
know
it's
it:
it's
possible
the,
but
yes
to
just
clarify
they
are
submitting
a
request
to
a
modification
of
a
previously
approved
project
and
we're
reviewing
that
now,
along
with
the
development
agreement
to
to
help
support
the
the
additional
parking
downtown.
So
that's
what
their
that's,
what
their
project
request
is,
and
that
would
be
the
action
that
the
council
would
be
making
with
the
project.
A
And
I
know:
we've
done
Outreach
and
I'm
guessing
that
marwood
was
included
in
the
Outreach
efforts.
Do
you
happen
to
know
if
they
submitted
any
comments
about
any
of
the
modifications
proposed
in
these
amendments?
No.
AH
They
they
haven't,
submitted
any
comments
about
it,
yeah
and
I.
You
know
on
the
project
planner
for
marwood
as
well,
and
so
I've
I've
certainly
been
speaking
with
them
directly
about
it,
making
sure
that
they're
looking
at
it
and
and
reviewing
it
and
letting
me
know
if,
if
they,
you
know
through
the
you
know,
through
the
Outreach
process,
letting
the
city
know
if,
if
there
are
any
concerns-
and
we
would
have
included
that
with
any
public
comment,
accounts.
I
F
So
I'm
sorry
I'm
double
dipping
as
well.
I,
don't
I,
never
know
whether
to
put
things
I'm
going
to
say
in
the
comments
questions
because
they
seem
to
slide
from
one
to
another,
but
I'm
I'm
thinking
a
little
more
deeply
about
the
issue
of
ground
floor
lobbies
about
disallowing
administrative
offices
but
allowing
ground
floor
lobbies,
it's
it.
That's
that
idea
is
concerning
to
me,
particularly
because
you
know
many.
F
Many
of
the
developers
I
talked
to
referred
to
just
administrative
office
and
don't
want
to
be
bothered
with
anything
else
and
it
seems
like
we
could
end
up
with
one
after
another
building,
that's
kind
of
like
the
the
is
it
303,
the
Bryant
Plaza,
with
the
entire
bottom
of
it
a
Lobby
now
I
can
see
putting
in
lobbies
as
a
certain
small
percentage.
F
You
know
no
more
than
a
certain
amount
so
that
you
can
get
into
the
building,
basically
but
I'm
wondering
if
staff
has
some
way
to
make
sure
that
I
mean
I,
think
we're
just
opening
up
the
door
to
making
saying
we're
disallowing
administrative
offices
but
in
reality
allowing
them
because
the
first
floor
is
a
Lobby
and
the
rest
of
the
floors
are
administrative
office.
So
I
would
like
to
hear
some
way
of
preventing
matter.
I
think
we'll
be
sorry
later
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
have
any
ideas
on
that.
AH
Sure
I,
you
know
we
did
talk
about
this
a
great
deal
and
we
discussed
a
lot
of
potential
quantity
of
standards
for
limiting.
You
know
how
much
of
a
ground
floor
can
be
an
entrance
to
Upper
Floor
uses
and
things
like
that
I.
In
the
end
there
there
is
a
lot
of
discretion
that
goes
into
these
kinds
of
review,
especially
at
the
informal
review
stage
of
where
the
the
boundary
is
between
a
Lobby.
AH
You
know
a
space,
that's
primarily
just
about
entering
and
exiting
the
office
as
well,
as
maybe
some
kind
of
you
know
desk
or
something
like
that
to
help
Orient
people
and
something
that
really
adds
to
the
admin
office
space
in
the
building.
AH
So
you
know
any
kind
of
you
know,
meeting
space
or
anything
like
that-
certainly
wouldn't
be
allowed
on
the
ground
floor,
so
that
is
I,
think
something
where
we
would
be
applying
that
kind
of
definition
through
the
review
of
informal
through
the
informal
review
process,
and
then
the
formal
process,
formal
review
process
and
then
I
think.
AH
It's
also
good
to
note
that
the
office
far
cap
is
also
intended
to
help
kind
of
encourage
ground
floor
retail
because
you
know
if
you
are
allowed
a
four-story
building,
but
you're
only
allowed
2.75
far
of
office.
Then
there's
potentially
you
know
you
know
almost
potentially
about
one
far
worth
of
additional
building
area.
You
might
be
allowed
that
that
would
have
to
be
some
kind
of
ground
floor
commotion
use.
F
Okay,
that's
if
that
gives
me
more
information,
I
I
have
to
say:
I
am
a
little
concerned
about
just
kind
of
because
of
the
developers
I've
talked
to
and
how
many
of
them
just
want
to
do.
Administrative
office
plain
and
simple
and
I'm
afraid
with
the
discretionary
review
I
mean
for
me.
I
feel
like
that.
Doesn't
give
me
anything
to
hang
my
hat
on
that
I.
You
know
just
to
say,
I
hope
that
discretionary
review
takes
care
of
it
because
that
it
hasn't
you
know,
kind
of
all
up
and
down
the
street.
F
You
know
they're
kind
of
proliferating,
so
I'd
like
something
a
little
more
something
with
a
little
more
traction,
something
that
they
don't
say.
We
get
it
right
right
and
you
know,
because
I
think
that
if,
if
we're
all
ground
floor
lobbies
and
either
and
private
cafeteria
serious,
not
a
vibrant
space,
so
so
I'll
be
thinking
about
that.
A
E
Nope,
you
don't
hear
me.
Okay,
do
you
hear
me
now
yeah?
Thank
you
mayor
two
minutes.
Okay,
here
we
go
speaking
for
Mountain
Bruce
England,
wisman,
Station,
Drive
speaking
for
Mountain
View
Coalition
for
sustainable
planning,
carrying
forward
with
council
member
Hicks
already
said,
and
others
coverage
for
ground
floor.
E
Retail
is
good,
but
I'd
like
to
see
ground
floor,
retail,
be
truly
public
accommodating
with
no
dead
zones
with
spaces
level
with
the
ground,
as
opposed
to
raise
to
ensure
full
accessibility
and
then
all
the
points
about
vacancy
vacant
windows
and
storefronts
equal
concerns
on
that
as
well
on
the
lighting
thing,
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
got
that
in
that
there's
a
note
in
the
report
about
incorporating
a
dark
sky
compliant
lighting
and
for
green
spaces.
E
Mountain
View
I
want
to
note
that
lighting
decisions
relating
to
safety
can
be
readily
accommodated
through
established,
dark
sky
standards.
Just
increasing
lighting
is
often
not
the
way
to
address
or
improve
safety.
We
trust
that
public
works
and
Community
Development
will
take
all
concerns
into
account
when
they
tackle
updates
to
the
lighting
ordinances
in
the
near
future.
Also
on
the
windows,
the
reporter
search
that
Windows
standards,
ensure
buildings,
have
a
more
traditional
punched
window
appearance
instead
of
more
Modern
Glass
certain
wall
appearance.
E
AA
Good
evening,
Council
James
kussman
speaking
for
myself
tonight,
the
first
thing
I
want
to
note,
was
on
amendment
2
regarding
the
maximum
office.
Far
it's
very
confusing.
If
someone
trying
to
follow
these
things,
how
this
interrelates,
with
the
proposed
temporary
office
cap,
that
I
prefer
calls
even
the
same
far
and
so
I'm
just
confused.
AA
That's
why
that's
also
coming
forward
tonight,
although
on
the
merits
of
that,
I
would
also
note
that
it
is
unclear
to
me
how
a
far
cap
on
office
serves
any
of
the
purposes,
given
that
we
already
have
Amendment
one
two
incentivize
ground
for
retail,
over
offices
and
given
that
fundamentally,
even
if
we
even
for
all
the
fiddling
we
do
about
trying
to
regulate
ground
floor,
uses
and
facades
and
as
such,
when
it
comes
down
to
it.
If
we
want
to
support
that
for
retail,
we
need
to
be
able
to
have
customers
downtown.
AA
Who
will
use
that
retail
and
office
is
a
key
component
of
that.
It
also
hits
home
for
me
a
bit
since
my
employer
right
now
is
moving
offices
to
a
car
oriented
hellscape
in
Santa,
Clara
and
I
greatly
wish
that
we
had
more
office
downtown
in
Mountain
View,
though
perhaps
we
could
have
moved
into.
AA
AA
I
still
don't
see
any
justification
for
having
any
height
cap,
particularly
when
having
those
sorts
of
arbitrary
caps
on
building
type
just
push
more
competition
for
ground
floor
use,
so
I
would
really
like
to
see
that
reduced
or
or
the
high
cap
loosened
or
removed
so
that
we
can
get
more
office
and
housing
above
ground
and
Mark
ground
floor
retail
on
the
ground
and,
lastly,
to
councilmember
Hicks
notes
about
sidewalks
I.
AA
Would
this
is
perhaps
a
bit
more
out
of
order,
but
I
would
look
forward
to
us
being
able
to
widen
our
sidewalks
as
more
developments
go
in
and
perhaps
do
some
of
the
street
space
current
leads
for
parking
for
that,
since
that
will
the
increased
density
will
both
make
it
easier
to
walk
places
and,
if
we're
making
our
sidewalks
wider,
that
makes
it
easier
for
people
to
walk
places
instead
of
driving
their
cars.
Thank
you
thank.
AI
Here
we
go
Ramirez
and
steam
members
of
the
city
council.
This
is
Peter
Katz
CEO
of
the
Mountain
View
Chamber
of
Commerce
I
want
to
start
by
complimenting
City
staff
on
undertaking
a
very
important
and
needed
revision
of
the
downtown
precise
plan.
We
recognize
that
tonight's
presentation
covers
only
phase
one
which
is
largely
architectural,
and
we
applaud
the
desire
to
keep
the
look
and
feel
of
downtown
unique
and
distinct.
AI
As
vice
mayor
Hicks
said,
we
need
to
incorporate
the
points
raised
in
the
economic
analysis
and
the
ones
we
assume
will
come
out
of
the
Vitality
plan.
We
are
eager
to
work
with
closely
with
the
city
on
these
items
in
phase
two,
especially
those
related
to
permitting
and
requirements
declared
to
be
permitting
requirements
and
processes
for
phase
one.
As
council
member
show
author
noted,
nowhere
is
their
mention
of
addressing
empty
storefronts.
AI
These
blank
spaces
sap
the
vibrancy
of
the
street,
negatively
affecting
both
the
Ambiance
and
character
of
downtown,
as
well
as
income
for
our
businesses,
many
of
whom
are
still
barely
surviving.
The
chamber
in
the
city
have
worked
repeatedly
with
some
landlords
to
activate
their
windows
with
displays
pop-ups
and
artwork.
We
even
partnered
with
Theater
Works,
to
promote
an
upcoming
performance
which
was
a
win-win
all
the
way
around.
However,
as
assistant
city
manager,
sravastava
notes,
other
landlords
remain
content
to
Simply.
Do
nothing
despite
numerous
attempts
by
both
the
chamber
and
the
city
to
engage
them.
AI
While
these
owners
may
not
feel
the
pain,
their
actions
have
been
devastating
impact
to
those
around
them
and
as
council
member
Lieber
notes,
we
lack
the
teeth
to
really
affect
the
change.
We
urge
this
city
to
take
action
to
deal
with
these
specific
circumstances
in
constructive
ways
like
the
required
to
display
artwork
or
otherwise
activate
the
window
space.

AJ
Good
evening
mayor
and
City
Council
Members,
my
name
is
Carlos
Valdez
I
am
a
field
representative
for
Carpenters
Local,
Union,
405.
I'm,
going
to
talk
about
the
need
for
area
standards
for
our
community,
especially
for
projects
like
this.
What
is
area
standards
you
may
ask:
any
standards
stands
for
healthcare,
apprenticeship
and
livable
wages.
AJ
Let's
begin
with
Healthcare.
Do
you
know
that
nearly
50
of
California
construction
workers
rely
on
some
form
of
Public
Assistance?
Also
one
out
of
four
construction
workers
in
California
lack
health
insurance?
That's
two
and
a
half
times
the
rate
for
all
California
workers
when
it
comes
to
apprenticeship,
construction.
Apprenticeship
programs
are
a
proven
escalator
to
the
middle
class
training,
tens
of
thousands
of
California
residents
every
year
at
North,
Coast
to
taxpayers
because
of
increased
wages
and
lack
of
student
debt.
AJ
Construction
Construction
apprenticeship
can
be
a
better
option
than
a
traditional
undergraduate
program
for
many
young
people,
Liverpool
wages
there
are
needed
for
a
you
know,
allowed
the
workers
and
their
families
to
live
in
this
community
that
they
work
in.
This
also
means
that
those
wages
go
back
to
into
our
community
as
they
spend
their
earnings,
and
their
tax
dollars
will
keep
help
funding
our
local
schools
and
governments.
So
it
would
be
oh,
a
right
move
to
make
these
every
standards
a
must
for
projects
like
the
one.
That's
on
the
table,
thanks.
AK
You
hear
me:
okay,
hi,
I'm,
Robert,
Cox
speaking
for
level
Mountain
View.
We
support
the
staff
recommendation,
the
most
important
point
of
which
is
to
remove
the
conditional
use
permits
for
ground
floor
Administrative
Office
in
the
historic
retail
District.
We
urge
the
council
to
stay
firm
on
this
point,
even
though
there
are
currently
some
ground
floor
vacancies
in
the
historic
district
right
now,
downtown
businesses
are
languaging,
While,
others
are
thriving,
but
I've
been
told
by
those
in
contact
with
the
businesses
is
that
adaptation
is
the
key
to
support.
Our
new.
Take
out.
AK
Option
are
pairing
better
than
those
who
simply
maintain
their
traditional
offerings.
Staff
should
be
collecting
best
known
practices
for
post
covet
success
and
spread
the
word
to
help
make
our
downtown
businesses
successful.
Beyond
that,
we
need
to
acknowledge
that
the
property
taxes
on
some
some
of
our
historic
buildings
are
so
low
that
the
landlords
may
not
see
any
urgent
reason
to
rent
their
buildings
out.
Other
Bay
Area
cities
have
dealt
with
this
by
imposing
a
vacancy
tax.
AK
The
money
raised
by
such
a
tax
could
be
used
to
help
landlords
who
are
willing
to
rent
their
buildings
out
and
improve
them
and
attract
more
customers.
Above
all,
let's
stop
complaining
about
why
things
aren't
like
they
were
and
embrace
a
new
post,
coveted
21st
century
vision
for
our
downtown
remote
work
has
isolated
people
and
a
thriving
interactive
social
downtown
will
be
the
remedy.
We
have
often
called
called
our
Downtown
Mountain
View
our
community's
living
room.
Let's
legislate
like
we
believe
it.
Thank
you.
AG
Yes,
hello
good
evening,
mayor
and
City
staff
city
council.
This
is
halal
shawani,
longtime
resident
of
Mountain
View
I
am
very
supportive
of
the
staff
recommendations
to
our
Council
and
I
am
very
proud
of
our
council
members,
pushing
our
staff
to
even
do
more
and
include
more
Community
input
and
the
changes
for
the
amendments
to
the
precise
plan
for
downtown
I
strongly
support
the
comment
from
Council
about
having
transparent,
clean
windows
and
absolutely
no
office
use
buildings
or
office
use
in
the
first
level
floors
of
the
buildings
on
the
historic
portion
of
Castro.
AG
In
fact,
all
of
Castro
Street.
It
needs
to
be
a
public
realm
open
to
the
public,
interactive,
clean
and
and
inviting
first
floor.
All
over
the
street
I
also
strongly
support
vice
mayor
Hicks
in
requiring
that
the
lobbies
are
not
allowed
or
allowed
in
a
very
limited
space
so
that
it's
it's
fair
for
the
business
to
have
an
entryway.
AG
But
it's
not
taking
advantage
of
that
provision
and
making
essentially
the
first
floor
a
Lobby,
because
that
really
just
means
that
a
dead
zone
for
for
the
public
one
thing
I
just
came
to
my
mind
when
vice
mayor
Hicks,
was
mentioning
that
when
I've
been
to
big
buildings
in
other
cities,
where
there
is
a
office
or
even
residential,
though
I
often
have
a
small
coffee
shop
or
some
kind
of
retail
services
within
the
lobby,
actually
right
next
to
the
front
desk,
so
that
it
is
friendly.
It
is
inviting
and
it's
open
to
all.
O
Hey
friends,
as
someone
who
goes
downtown
pretty
often
I
also
want
the
land
use
to
be
focused
on
the
people
downtown,
not
the
maximizing
profit
of
the
people
who
are
speculating
on
the
land
values
we're
just
holding
on
to
a
building
that
they
inherited
decades
ago,
because
they
can
a
city
should
be
for
its
residents
for
the
people
there
for
visitors
this
the
ground
floor
is
the
most
valuable
part
of
it.
It's
the
most
accessible.
O
It
has
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
have
synergies
between
businesses
where
people
go
to
one
thing
see
something
that
they
might
want
in
the
window.
Stop
at
that
store.
But
in
order
to
do
that,
we
have
to
limit
the
ability
to
just
parasitize
the
city
and
extract
as
much
money
like
through
Tech
startups.
As
you
possibly
can
it's
not
it's
not
fair.
It's
not
good.
It's
not
helpful
to
the
people.
Thanks.
R
Thank
you,
mayor,
well,
I
I
would
be
prepared
to
make
a
motion,
but
I'd
like
to
know
from
staff.
How
can
we
Encompass
some
of
the
comments
that
have
been
offered
up
in
terms
of
the
ground
floor,
administrative
offices
and
the
the
lobbies
and
those
other
forms
of
dead
sounds.
X
I
I
can
sort
of
list
some
items
if
the
council
wishes
to
adopt
it,
but
direct
staff
to
follow
up
on
some
of
those
items.
We
can
do
that
and
some
of
those
will
come
back
as
precise
blind
amendments.
As
we
review
phase
two
others,
we
may
just
be
doing
follow-up
code
enforcement
or
the
economic
Vitality
strategy,
so
I
can
list
the
items
that
I
heard
and
that
could
just
be
added
separate
from
the
motion
on
the
on
the
precise
plan
itself.
R
And
time
is
right,
but
I
see
that
my
colleagues
have
things
to
say
as
well.
So
I'll
hold
off
on
that
for
for
now.
F
F
If
something
is
not
on
the
list,
maybe
we
put
it
into
the
motion
so
I
are
you
prepared
to
I?
Have
I
have
another
comment
or
two,
but
are
you
prepared
to
read
your
list
off
at
this
point
or.
X
Later
I
I
could
read
it
if
if
you're
I
was
starting
to
number
some
of
them,
but
I
could
I
could
do
it
as
I'm
reading.
The
first
item
is
to
follow
up
on
looking
at
wider
sidewalks.
X
F
In
in
next
to
the
sobrato
building,
there
was
like
a
sidewalk
and
a
green
space
and
I
think
that's
the
way
it's
called
out
in
the
in
the
downtown
precise
plan,
it's
ground
level,
open
space,
because
I
think
on,
like
some
very
public
blocks
like
the
one
with
the
library
on
it,
those
two
things
kind
of
get
mixed,
sometimes
I
thought
it
was
appropriate.
The
way
it
was
named
in
the
precise
plan,
so
wider
sidewalks
and
you
know,
planting
strips
or
whatever
I'm
sorry
I
interrupted
you.
What
else
is
it.
X
Sure
so,
white,
wider
sidewalks
and
that's
kind
of
the
along
the
street,
but
also
as
they
may
exist
in
internal
Pathways,
that
that
was
my
intent
and
we
follow
up.
Okay.
X
The
second
item
had
to
do
with
vacant
storefronts
and
follow
up
on
strategies
with
the
economic
Vitality
strategy,
and
that
would
include
the
vacancy
tax
or
you
know
other
issues,
programs
and
ideas
that
would
allow
the
city
to
be
a
little
more
give
the
city
a
little
more
authority
to
get
involved.
If,
if
there
were
recalcitrant
landwards.
X
The
third
was
just
code
enforcement
in
general,
you
know,
boarded
Plywood
And,
you
know
windows
and
other
things
so
I'll
just
add
that
to
the
vacant
property
list
mirror
glass
I
think
we
confirmed
that
our
current
rules
won't
allow
it.
One
of
the
things
we
will
do
is
go
back
and
look
at
past
projects,
the
ones
that
were
mentioned
to
see
if
they
are
deliberately
flaunting
any
of
the
rules
that
were
in
effect
at
the
time.
X
So
we
could
go
code
force
and
then,
alternatively,
in
the
downtown
precise
plan,
we
could
look
at
other
options
to
see
how
do
we
treat
projects
that
are
already
approved?
But
you
know:
do
we
wanna
phase
some
of
these
things
out,
but
we
we
can't
do
it
today,
but
we'll
follow
up
on
that.
X
That's
item
three
item:
four
I
think
Don
mentioned
that
she
would
be
coming
back
with
a
CIP
program
related
to
the
lighting
study
and
the
findings
of
the
lighting
study
related
to
Safety
and
Security
in
the
downtown
and
I
could
say
that
we
will
certainly
look
at
that
and
the
dark
sky,
ordinance
and
coordination
with
that
when
we
do
the
the
precise
plan
part
two
for
private
property.
X
If
there
are
any
so
that's
item
four,
let
me
see
what
else
there
was
some
discussion
about
eminent
domain,
I
I,
don't
know
if
there
are
specific
properties
and
I
know
we
have
one
on
our
list.
We'll
certainly
follow
up
on
that
I.
Don't
necessarily
see
it
being
incorporated
into
a
precise
plan,
but
I'll
just
call
it
item.
Five
follow
up
on
the
eminent
domain
options
for
certain
property.
X
I
will
hold
off
the
issue
of
ground
floor
lobbies.
I'll
certainly
call
it
item
six,
a
vice
mayor,
because
it's
certainly
an
issue
we
need
to
address,
and
that
is
my
list.
F
So
so
a
couple
questions
about
the
list
you
said
to
hold
off
on
ground
floor
love.
Is
that
something
you're
going
to
look
into
and
come
back
what
to
talk
about
it?
Well.
X
We
have,
we
have
two
options
and
I
I
wish
I
had
the
the
chance
to
maybe
talk
to
our
our
our
urban
planner
planning,
consultant
or
maybe
Eric
could
could
follow
up,
but
an
example
of
what
we
would
typically
include
and
I
I
right
off
the
bat
I
I.
Don't
know.
If
that's
the
right
number,
we
could
say
something
like
you
know:
lobbies
are
limited
to
X
feet
right.
You
could
reasonably
expect
that
25
feet
should
be
enough
for
entry
and
to
deal
with
any.
X
You
know
ground
floor
space
up
to
a
certain
depth
Beyond
which
they
all
need
to
be
retail
right
or
or
the
active
uses.
That's
an
example,
or
we
could
say
25
feet
or
fifty
percent.
Whichever
is
lower
or
25
feet
and
20
percent.
Whichever
is
lower
those
are
examples
of
a
standard
we
would
typically
apply
when
we
were
trying
to
limit
so
that
we
give
them
enough
space
for
what
they
need,
but
no
more
than
a
certain
percentage
that
that's
an
example
of
what
we
would
use.
X
But
today,
if
you
had
to
ask
me
I
would
say
the
25
feet
is
reasonable.
X
X
So
we
know
they'll
use
them
and,
and
like
Eric
said,
we
have
the
ability
to
to
design
review,
to
require
other
active
uses
and
for
people
not
to
kind
of
use
up
all
the
front
space.
But
if
council's
interested
in
a
specific
standard,
I
would
recommend
the
the
25
feet
and
not
having
the
chance
to
really
talk
this
through
I
think
Eric
and
I
thought
this
would
be
a
reasonable
standard.
AH
So
yeah
I
did
I
did
get
a
chance
to
hear
from
the
the
urban
design
consultant.
I
think
one
way
to
think
about
this.
We
could
limit
it
to
you,
know
20
feet
or
25
of
the
building
Frontage,
whichever
is
less
I,
think
that's
kind
of
the
first
thing
that
that
our
team
mentioned
and
I
think
one
way
to
think
about
this
is
that
if
you
have
a
fairly
narrow
building,
so
let's
say
you
have
a
building,
that's
only
20
feet
wide
or
something
like
that.
AH
AH
On
page
77
of
the
amendments
to
say
something
like
lobbies,
no
wider
than
20
feet
or
25
percent
of
building
width
are
allowed,
as
well
as
access
to
Upper
floors.
So
that
way,
we're
we're
clearly
saying
that,
even
if
you
have
a
skinny
building,
you
always
can
have
the
access
to
Upper
floors.
But
you
don't
necessarily
get
a
Lobby
if
you're,
unless
your
building
is
wide
enough
to
to
have
that
20
feet,
which
would
be
25
percent
of
the
building
width.
F
So
I
thought
you
were
going
to
say
you
would
come
back
to
us
with
some
options
after
Consulting
with
with
your
Urban
whatever
designer,
but
but
if
you're
comfortable
with
that,
and
it
council's
comfortable
with
that,
as
is
I,
would
be
open
to
either
either
coming
back
with
options
or
adopting
what
you're
suggesting
now,
if,
if
the
council
is
comfortable,
if
you're
comfortable
and
council
is
comfortable
with
that
either
one
I'm
open
to
either
one
okay.
F
So,
having
said
that,
let's
see
and
the
one
other
related
to
lobbies
that
I
guess
was
not
on
your
list
is
private
Food
Services
on
the
ground
floor,
that's
another
one,
I
I
think
we
need
to
disallow.
F
X
You
know
I
Eric.
This
was
this
issue
occurred
in
area
J,
but
I
want
to
look
at
our
current
list
of
uses
to
see
if
private
uses
would
be
allowed
in
agnh,
I
I
don't
believe
they
would,
but
so
we'll
have
to
tackle
area
J
as
part
of
downtown
phase.
Two.
F
Yeah
I
I
there
is
one
in
area
Jay,
but
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
at
this
point
if
I,
if
I
bought
a
building
in
area
H
and
put
office
on
on
top,
would
there
be
anything
to
stop
me
from
putting
private
Food
Service
on
the
ground
floor?
Just
because
it's
now
in
area
J
doesn't
mean
that's
the
only
place
somebody
could
do
it.
AH
I
I
think
we'd
have
to
look
at.
You
know
our
definition
of
restaurant.
You
know
the
you
know,
I
think.
The
the
kind
of
common
definition
of
restaurant
is
is
something
that
you
know
generally
serves
the
public
right.
I
mean
that's
a
you
know:
a
private
office.
AH
You
know
food,
you
know
food
service
for
for
a
private
office.
You
wouldn't
really
call
a
restaurant,
but
I
think
we'd
have
to
look
at
those
definitions,
I'm,
sorry,
I,
don't
know
under
what
land
use
the
site
on
the
corner
of
Castro
and
and
Church.
That
situation
was
approved
as
whether
it
was
approved
as
a
restaurant
or
whether
it
was
approved
as
an
accessory
to
the
office
use,
and
if
it
is
the
latter,
then
the
the
situation
would
be
resolved
already.
AH
It
wouldn't
be
an
issue
that
we'd
have
to
worry
about
for
area
H,
but
if
it
was
the
former,
then
that
could
be
something
that
we
could
come
back
and
report
back
to
you
on.
X
F
Okay,
so
my
additional
comments
are:
don't
worry,
they're,
not
too
many.
My
additional
comments
are
I
completely
agree.
What
council,
with
what
council
members
show
Walter
said
about
Windows
I,
have
concerns
not
just
about
dirty
and
blank
and
mirrored
Windows
I.
Guess,
council
member
Lieber
brought
up
some
of
those,
but
also
about
what
needs
to
be
in
the
windows.
I
I
think
it
was
Mr
Anderson
who
said
a
shopping
experience,
something
that
adds
to
vibrancy
and
I.
F
Think,
but
I
think
that
so
I
wanted
to
say
that
I
agree
with
that
whole
realm
of
discussion
and
and
would
push
it
even
a
little
further
to
be
more
windows
more.
You
know,
showcasing
more
vibrancy,
but
I
think
that
can
be
part
of
a
program,
an
economic
Vitality
program,
and
it
was
even
mentioned
in
the
economic
analysis
in
attachment.
Eight
that
there
could
be
I
could
probably
find
it
here
is
somewhere
where
I
took
notes,
but
that
we
could
have
a
program
that
would
interact
with
I.
F
Think
Mr
Katz
also
brought
this
up,
but
that
could
interact
with
with
property
owners
and
business
people
to
get
to
get
those
windows
to
be
more
vibrant.
In
addition
to
clean
and
not
mirrored
so
I
I
think
that
can
be
put
off,
but
I
agree
with
that.
The
one
additional
thing
that
I
would
like
to
maybe
add
because
I
think
it's
a
pretty
simple
amendment
is
that
we
have
several
buildings
in
the
downtown
that
the
entrance
is
not
at
grade
level.
F
F
It
kind
of
says
to
me
it
kind
of
reads,
as
this
is
not
a
public
space
and
in
fact
those
three
buildings
the
ground
floor
mostly
is
not
public
spaces,
they're
lobbies
and
things
that
you're
not
allowed
in
so
I
would
like
to
say
that
at
least
in
areas
HG
and
a
that
entries
need
to
be
at
grade
level.
That
they're,
not
you,
know
up
high
so
that
that
would
I
think
that's
a
pretty
simple
thing
to
add
and
I
I
would
propose.
D
A
F
No,
the
only
one
I'd
incorporate
the
rest
of
them.
I
think
staff
will
come
back
at
some
phase,
two
or
whatever
or
economic
Vitality.
The
only
one
that
I'm
proposing
is
that
that
entries
that
entries
be
at
ground
level.
That
may
not
be
built
up
in
some
way.
X
That's
the
only
the
vice
mayor,
I'll,
ask
I
believe
there
is
such
a
requirement.
I
think
it
Eric.
Can
you
find
it
where
we
we
look
at
grade
level
entries.
AH
Edgar
is
it,
is
it
there
that
we
have
the
grade
level
entry
standard
I?
It.
T
I
can
double
check
but
I.
If
I
recall,
we
had
something
in
there
pertaining
to
entries
being
within
a
one
foot
upgrade
but-
and
that's
just
going
off
my
memory
but
I
can
I
will
double
check.
It.
X
So
let
us
let
us
look
for
that
council
member
Hicks
and
we
need
a
little
bit
of
flexibility,
because
you
know
grades
are
not
that
easy
to
match
and
and
standards
become
very
rigid.
So
sorry,
if
people
can
make
their
other
comments,
we'll
take
the
time
to
review
that.
S
Thank
you
mayor
so
in
general,
I
support,
staff's
recommendations,
I
guess,
where
I'm
having
little
and
I
guess
in
a
little
confused
as
to
what
we're
doing
with
this
growing
list
of
items,
because
I
actually
have
concerns
with
several
of
them
and
I'll
just
start
with
the
preface
that
I
think
as
I
listened
to
the
examples
that
are
being
provided.
S
Was
that
I
think
we
used
to
require
retail
on
the
ground
level,
but
the
examples
where
we
don't
have
retail
there
anymore,
most
of
them,
if,
if
I,
recollect
historically
correctly,
have
been
done
by
waivers
so
church
and
Castro,
Street
and
I
wasn't
on
council
at
that
time,
I
believe
or
I
had
to
recuse
myself
because
of
where
I
lived
we
did
require
I,
believe
we
required
retail
and
that
development
was
able
to
get
a
waiver
from
not
having
to
have
retail
there.
S
I,
don't
know
you
know
if
what
we
specified
or
it
was
specified,
what
was
going
to
go
there,
but
we,
the
council,
basically
waived
the
requirement
of
retail
when
we
talked
about
I.
Think
if
it's,
if
I'm
correct
in
the
the
parcel
I,
think
it's
villain
Bryant
that
one
there
is
a
big
Lobby
that
we
had
required.
Retail
again,
a
coffee
shop
was
being
talked
about.
But
again
this
was
when
I
wasn't
on
the
council.
S
I
don't
think
the
applicant
came
or
the
the
the
parcel
owner
came
and
said:
he'd
had
tried
to
put
in
a
coffee
shop,
but
the
size
of
that
part.
The
the
space
was
not
conducive
to
a
coffee
shop.
So
the
council,
at
that
time
waived
that
requirement
to
have
retail
so
I
guess
this
is
where
I'm
my
you
know,
I
I
would
question
us
staff.
If
we
were
just
to
say,
require
retail
on
ground
level.
S
Would
we
be
able
to
resolve
a
lot
of
these
issues
because
that's
how
it
seems
like
these
over
time?
You
know:
we've
had
these
exceptions
happen
and
that's
what's
created
these
challenges
so
yeah
a
good
stuff,
maybe
respond
to
that.
X
X
S
Yes,
so
I
appreciate
that
and
I
guess
it's
now,
just
like
maybe
a
Nuance
of
terms,
but
it
sounds
like
some
of
these.
You
know
the
conversations
going
on.
What's
the
administrative
office
or
what's
the
cafeteria,
you
know
for
a
company
considered
so
like,
rather
than
getting
into
the
you
know
the
the
wording,
if
or
well
I
guess
it
would
be,
but
maybe
flipping
the
wording
to
say
we
require
retail
on
all
ground
levels.
Parcels.
Could
that
potentially
just
take
care
of
all
of
these
issues?
We've
had.
X
I
would
say
the
issue
of
ground
floor
uses
we
plan
to
tackle
as
part
of
the
economic
Vitality
strategy
and
downtown
phase
two,
because
what
what
we
are
learning
is
is
retail,
is
no
longer
a
viable
use
and
we
have
to
expand
the
list
of
uses
but
expand
it
in
such
a
way
that
there's
still
pedestrian
oriented.
So
we
may
not
be
able
to
make
the
change
today,
but
it's
definitely
on
our
docket
I
mean
it
was.
X
S
Okay,
so
I
can
understand
that,
and
you
know
I
guess
that
would
be
or
my
response
would
be
that
retail
you
know
the
the
face
of
retail
is
changing,
so
we
just
need
to
be
inclusive
of
what
retail
means
in
this
day
and
age,
and
also
just
you
know,
into
the
future
too,
to
word
it
in
a
way
that
would
would
go
with
the
changing
times
as
to
what
retail
or
you
know,
I,
don't
even
maybe
saying
public
serving
business
I'm,
not
really
quite
sure
what
the
wording
is,
but
I
think
you
understand.
S
S
So
you
know
this
is
yeah
a
little
tricky
for
for
me
and
that's
what's
happened
in
the
past
as
well
in
terms
of,
and
these
I
think
these
really
relate
more
to
the
economic
Vitality
strategy,
but
some
of
the
items
I
heard
about
a
vacancy
tax,
or
so
you
know
I,
look
at
this
I
I,
don't
know
if
folks
know,
but
for
very
when
I
was
much
younger
for
a
while
I
owned
a
small
business
and
I
learned
a
lot
about
how
challenging
it
is
to
run
a
small
business
and
when
I
would
I
see
some
of
these
item.
S
You
know
issues
like
a
vacant
tax
coming
up,
I
I'm
a
little
unconscious
of
that,
because
but
I
guess
what
I'm
looking
for
is.
How
do
we
incentivize?
How
do
we
you
know
help,
especially
in
this
time
of
postcovid,
my
potential
economic
down
to
turn
I
am
concerned
about
I,
think
anything
that
looks
like
we're
penalizing
businesses
instead
of
supporting
and
trying
to
Foster
them
so
and
I.
Think
and
I.
S
Remember,
there's
a
leadership
Mountain
View
group
that
did
a
study
and
they
went
door-to-door
on
20
or
so
businesses
and
I.
Remember
their
report
out
was
that
each
business
is
very
unique
and
different
as
to
why
they're
in
the
situation
they
are
so
I
just
wanted
me
and
maybe
include
it
being
included
in
our
by
economic
Vitality
strategy,
but
I
don't
want
us
to
just
you
know,
make
assumptions
and
have
these
blanket.
S
Oh,
we
need
a
vacancy
tax
like
assumptions,
I
think
we
really
need
to
look
at
each
business
Case
by
case
and
include
and
then
with
eminent
domain.
Two
I
think
there's
really
only
one
really
one
potential
for
something
like
that.
But
I
would
say
you
know
I'm
doing
a
lot
of
eminent
domain
at
BTA
right
now
and
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
still
have
to
offer
the
property
owner
fair
market
value
for
their
properties
and
I.
S
S
Well,
the
issue
of
lobbies
too:
I
think
that
one
I
go
back
to.
Maybe
this
question
of
you
know
ground
floor
uses
because
the
lobby
like,
for
instance,
at
650
Castro,
that
has
you
know
one
ounce,
coffee
on
one
side
and
a
Vitality
Bowl
on
the
other
I
think
that
works
perfectly
fine
again
at
the
Bryant
Street.
What
I
project?
S
If
we
had
a
coffee
shop
in
there,
it
might
have
been
okay,
so
I
think
yeah
as
long
as
we
can
find
a
way
to,
and
maybe
the
I
the
proportionalization
of
how
big
that
Lobby
or
why
that
Lobby
can
be,
might
be
the
answer,
but
again
I
would
just
go
back
to
you
know
what
are
what?
How
are
we
going
to
ensure
ground
floor
being
some
kind
of
retail
establishment
so
yeah?
S
S
You
can
study
the
vacancy
tax,
but
again
I
think
we
really
have
to
be.
You
know
careful
and
mindful
and
treat
each
business
Case
by
case
so
yeah.
Well,
how
are
we
moving
forward?
I
guess
is
my
question.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
I
I
think.
That's
that's
a
an
important
question
and
it
might
be
good
to
check
in
with
staff,
are
some
of
these
items,
something
that
you
would
like
to
receive
directing
on
today
and
are
there
other
items
that
you'd
prefer
that
will
be
discussed
in
the
context
of
goal?
Setting,
for
instance,
is
that
something
you
could
help
us
better
understand.
X
Yes,
council,
member
mayor,
we
items
one
through
seven,
that
I
listed
I'm
happy
to
go
over
them
again.
We
were
gonna,
take
back
with
us
and
I
could
I
could
Point,
which
issue
which
which
project
would
address
it.
Many
of
these
would
get
taken
up
in
the
economic
Vitality
strategy,
but
would
get
implemented
in
either
the
downtown
precise
plan
or
another
ordinance,
depending
on
what
the
implementation
item
is.
X
So
we
could
have
a
generic
goal
around
studying
it
and
the
economic
Vitality
strategy
and
then
coming
back
as
part
of
the
downtown
precise
plan
phase
two
or
other
implementation
actions
for
these,
and
that
gives
us
some
flexibility,
I
think
and
then
on
the
issue
of
raids
and
balconies
I
could
just
say
vice
mayor
we
took
another
look
at
areas:
a
g
and
H.
We
don't
specifically
have
a
grade
requirement
for
entries,
and
so
we
could
do
one
of
two
things
which
is
come
back.
X
Take
another
look
at
it
with
our
Urban
design
consultant
and
recommend
it
as
phase
two
that
would.
That
would
be
more
comfortable
for
me,
because
we
have
to
think
about
a
lot
of
things.
Like
you
know,
accessibility
and
building
codes
and
I
I
don't
feel
prepared
to
throw
out
a
number.
That's
not
going
to
cause
a
problem,
so
we
can.
We
can
throw
it
in
as
item
eight
to
address
in
the
downtown
precise
plan
phase
two.
A
Well,
when
the
motion
is
made
we'll
clarify
which
items
we
would
like
to
to
elevate
council
member
Abe
Koga
did
you
want
to
add
anything
else
or
give
a
new
set
of
ideas.
S
Yeah
I'm
sorry
I
did
forget.
I
forgot
to
mention
one
thing
as
we
were
talking
about
where
I
started.
Talking
about,
you
know,
incentive
incentive,
and
this
might
be
more.
It
probably
is
more
under
economic
Vitality.
But
when
I
read
the
analysis
and
it's
something
that
actually
I
noticed
as
I
walked
and
been
walking
downtown
some
of
the
buildings,
just
look
really
tired
and
the
you
know
and
I've
been
thinking
yeah
that
we
just
need.
S
We
need
to
do
some
facade
improvements,
but
those
costs
are
very
a
lot
250
to
500
000
I've
been
I've
heard
from
Property
Owners.
So
you
know
when
we
were
talking
through
during
covet
and
arpa
funding,
and
we
were
talking
about
business
grants.
I
was
actually
thinking
of
you
know.
Can
we
do
bigger
grants
that
could
help
with
things
like
facade
improvements,
so
yeah?
S
So
you
know
I,
know
I,
think
I
think
we're
really
now
right
now
talking
about
standards
and
requirements
and
whatnot,
but
that's
really
something
that
I
think
we
need
to
pursue
is
because
and
I.
You
know:
I
talked
to
some
business
owners
about
it
and
you
know
they
had
said
well.
The
challenge
with
that
is
that
if
you
improve
the
facade,
then
the
property
owner
increases
the
rent
to
try
to
make
up
for
the
cost
of
the
facade
of
the
improvements
which
I
read
in
the
report
too.
S
So
so
that's
where
the
grant
idea
was
like
in
my
mind
and
perhaps
like
we
can.
You
know,
tie
that
to
something
where
we
provide
the
grants
under
the
with
understanding
that
the
property
owner
would,
you
know,
charge
current
rents
or
you
know,
A
reduced
range
or
something
so
that
there's
a
an
exchange
and
that
value
benefits.
So
yeah
I,
don't
know
if
that's
more
economic
Vitality,
but
that
was
this
is
something
that
I've
really
been
thinking
about
for
quite
a
while
since
covid
started
and
we
started
seeing
these
empty
star
funds.
Q
Thank
you
well,
I
feel
like
we've
gone
well
beyond
what
was
the
original
topic
for
tonight?
So
I
do
want
to
start
with
the
original
topic.
I
I
do
support
and
appreciate
staff's
efforts
to
come
up
with
modifications
to
the
three
areas
that
I'm
hoping
we
can
improve
tonight.
Q
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
apc's
input,
because
I
think
they
added
a
couple
things
that
are
important
and
I
appreciate
that
staff
wants
a
little
bit
of
time
to
take
a
look
at
one
of
them
before
moving
forward
with
that.
But
of
all
the
other
things
then
that
were
talked
about
here
tonight.
Q
Q
Q
You
know
I
I
heard
you
know,
phase
two
economic
Vitality
strategy
and
part
of
me
is
thinking
gosh.
Isn't
there
anything
we
could
do
sooner
rather
than
later
that
we
feel
like.
We
don't
need
to
wait
until
phase
two
or
the
to
complete
the
economic
Vitality
strategy
before
we
do
something
about
it
and
I
guess
the
one
that
kind
of
stands
out
for
me
is
doing
something
about
the
state
of
the
windows
on
Castro
and
I
did
listen
to
no
surprise
here,
a
committee
meeting.
Q
But
maybe
if
the
city
was
more
involved,
we
could
do
something
about
that,
because
I
I
don't
really
want
to
wait
a
really
long
time
and
have
you
know
this
completely
buttoned
up
program
I
feel
a
sense
of
urgency
to
do
something
like
right
now
to
address
that
and
I.
Don't
know
if
that's
possible,
because
then
I
get
to
oh,
my
gosh.
You
know
we
have.
Q
We
typically
prioritize
things
as
part
of
the
work
plan,
and
we
have
talked
about
a
lot
of
things
here
tonight.
That
I
think
are
more
than
simple
things.
To
do
that
I
do
think
they
should
be
part
of
the
discussion
about
the
word
plan.
Q
Well,
I
appreciate
the
staff's
willingness
to
look
at
them
all
and
or
it's
part
of
this
phase,
two
or
part
of
the
economic
vitality,
and
maybe
we
need
to
take
a
look
at
the
overall
scope,
but
I
am
hoping
we
can
figure
out
something
we
can
do
sooner
rather
than
later
to
address
the
the
look
of
the
windows
in
downtown
to
make
them
more
interesting.
It's
great.
Q
The
kiwi
has
now
opened
a
storefront,
as
we
noted
it's
interesting,
how
they
went
from
Strictly
online
to
now
having
a
star
front
where
a
lot
of
other
businesses
go
the
opposite
way,
but
it's
great
and
I
hear
people
as
you
walk
downtown.
You
know
talking
about
them,
which
is
awesome,
but
but
how
do
we
get
more
activity
quickly
in
the
other
windows
and
I?
X
Respond
and
I
might
have
to
rely
on
on
the
city
manager
to
help
a
little
bit
here,
but
I
think
the
very
things
that
frustrate
council
do
frustrate
staff
and
we
would
we
would
love
to
spend
time
on
some
of
these
things.
X
X
You
know
two
out
of
almost
three
positions
in
in
in
Economic:
Development
are
vacant,
we're
looking
to
fill
it,
but
it'll
take
some
time
and
that's
the
reason
why
I'm
recommending
folding
it
into
already
existing
work.
So
the
work
we
have
is
economic
Vitality
strategy
which
has
already
started.
X
But
the
very
reason
that
these
haven't
been
possible
is
because
we
have
tried,
over
the
years
and
and
and
and
I
think
the
things
that
we
might
be
thinking
of
are
are
still
not
the
greatest
tools
and
we
might
have
to
rely
on
the
set
of
tools
that
come
out
of
the
economic
Vitality
strategy
to
really
be
effective.
So
with
that
caveat,
I
get
I
could
offer
these
three
efforts
and
to
see.
If
we
can,
we
can
do
some
immediate
things
as
part
of
the
the
ad
hoc
committee
focused
on
Castro.
Y
I
I
do
feel
compelled
to
bring
up
that.
Well,
the
ad
hoc
committee
really
has
a
great
ability
to
handle
what's
happening
in
the
public
right-of-way,
and
the
next
meeting
is
planned
for
Thursday
and
starting
to
get
feedback
on
what
the
city's
design
standards
and
requirements
and
guidelines
would
be
for
businesses
to
use
the
public
right-of-way
in
order
to
kind
of
lift
the
over
Aesthetics
and
images
of
what's
happening
in
the
right-of-way.
Y
So
you
know
we
will
continue
to
kind
of
Leverage
the
work
we're
doing
the
PED
Mall
in
our
discussions
of
the
businesses
that
take
greater
Pride.
You
know
we,
the
PED
Mall
itself,
isn't
going
to
be
a
total
solution
to
economic
vitality
and
revitalizing
the
downtown,
if
you're,
not
a
partner
in
this,
and
doing
your
part
for
for
the
buildings
themselves
that
are
fronting
the
PED
Mall.
Y
But
we
have
the
same
tools
that
you've
already
heard
about
where
we
can
use
code
enforcement.
We
can
use
code
enforcement,
we
can
encourage,
but
after
that
we
really
need
the
economic
Vitality
strategy
to
to
really
see
what
other
tools
that
you
know
we
can
make
use
of.
D
Well,
I
was
just
gonna,
make
a
comment
about
how
worrying
about
grade
level
entrances
may
be
at
odds
with
flood
protection
needs
and
flood
risk
reduction.
So
we
have
to
be
careful
about
that
and
so
I'm
just
gonna
put
that
out
there.
D
But,
but
since
this
the
conversation
has
progressed,
I'm
also
going
to
add
a
couple
more
things.
One
I
would
urge
everybody
to
go
up
to
the
Town
and
Country
in
Palo
Alto,
it's
kind
of
on
the
it's
around
the
corner
of
Embarcadero
and
El
Camino
everybody,
okay,
yeah,
sir
all
right.
They
I
was
there
this
summer
and
I
I
would
imagine
it's
still
there.
D
It's
been
upgraded,
they
had
quite
a
few
vacant
storefronts
there,
but
what
they
had
done
with
them
is
they
had
put
essentially
either
really
nice
displays
in
the
window,
or
they
had
put
butcher
paper
in
the
window
that
was
covered
with
artwork
that
essentially
some
of
it
advertised
in
Palo
Alto
activities.
Some
of
it
just
talked
about.
You
know
what
town
and
country
was,
but
it
was
nice.
It
was
attractive.
D
It
was
clean,
you
know,
and
and
I
just
I,
don't
know
how
they
did
it
and
granted
that's
one
shopping
center,
so
the
governance
is
much
more
simplistic,
but
I
was
going
to
ask
the
attorney.
I
mean
what
would
happen
if
the
city
of
Mountain
View
went
to
the
vacant.
Storefronts
put
them
with.
You
know
that
that
have
been
vacant
cover
them
with
butcher
paper
for
Christmas
and
had
csma
draw
pictures
on
it.
I
mean
you
know.
What's
the
worst
that
could
happen,
they
go
rip
them
off.
D
I
don't
know,
I
just
think
we
need
to
sort
of
think
that
we
need
to
get
to
the
point
where
we
we
don't
always
think
that
the
city
has
to
do
the
work.
We
have
some
real
talented
institutions
in
our
community
that
might
be
able
to
help
us
out,
as
well
as
the
the
the
Performing
I
mean,
not
the
the
graphic
arts
committee
so
I
just
that
idea
that
that
staff
always
has
to
do
it
I
think
sometimes
we.
D
What
we
need
to
do
is
give
permission
for
some
of
our
other
community
institutions
to
take
part,
and
that's
all
I'm
going
to
say,
but
anyway,
I'm
going
to
support
the
ocean.
I
like
it
I
I
would
really
appreciate
getting
something
done,
Pronto
in
the
downtown,
but
I
don't
think
that's
too
likely,
but
I
mean
I'm
all
for
it.
If
we
could
possibly
do
that
and
I
really
don't
think
the
idea
of
csma
and
butcher
paper
is
all
that
bad.
So
that's
it
for
me.
R
Thank
you,
mayor,
well,
I'm
I'm
prepared
to
make
a
motion
if
the
the
time
is
right
and
so
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
move
that
we
adopt
the
addendum
to
the
1999
and
2004
downtown
precise
plan.
Initial
study,
negative
declarations
in
the
Mountain
View
2030
General
plan
and
greenhouse
gas
reduction
program.
R
Final
report,
economic,
environmental
impact
report
in
compliance
with
the
California
Environmental
Quality
act,
guidelines,
15162
and
15164,
and,
second,
that
we
adopt
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Mountain
View,
amending
the
downtown
p19
precise
plan
to
update
design
standards
and
guidelines
in
areas.
R
A
g
and
H
and
disallow
Administrative,
Office
use
in
ground
floors
of
Castro,
Street
and
side
streets
of
area
H
to
be
read
in
title
only
further
reading
waived
and
that
we
receive
follow-up
information
from
staff
on
how
the
nine
priorities
that
were
identified
slot
into
the
existing
work
going
forward
from
staff.
A
X
Yes,
one
is
to
take
a
look
at
widening
sidewalks
and
internal
pathways
and
I
all
qualify,
especially
where
we
have
taller
buildings
alongside
them.
X
Sorry,
item
two
is
to
look
at
tools
that
we
can
put
in
our
toolkit
to
deal
with
vacant
property
and-
and
that
would
be
a
gamut
of
you
know,
running
from
incentives
to
to
a
vacancy
tax
item.
Three
would
be
to
review
the
the
issue
of
windows
and
to
take
a
look
at
a
variety
of
incentives
and
working
with
with
property
owners,
but
it
would
also
include
I
think
some
follow-up
on
a
particular
project
that
we
will
be
doing.
X
I'm
brilliant
item.
Four
will
be:
let's
see
the
lighting,
the
downtown
lighting
study
following
up
on
that
and
what
we're
going
to
do
with
the
public
realm
and
then
fold
in
lighting
standards
for
the
private
development
of
Sparta
phase
two
item:
five
would
be
to
look
at
the
issue
of
eminent
domain
for
a
a
particular
site,
and
now
this
wouldn't
be
folded
into
any
strategies,
but
I
think
we
might
have
to
separately.
Follow
up
on
this
item.
X
Six:
oh
is
ground
floor
lobbies,
the
issue
of
ground
floor
lobbies
and
making
sure
that
they
don't
take
up
all
the
food.
X
Item
seven
is
just
allowing
food
uses
and
item.
Eight
is
making
sure
that
entries
to
buildings
are
generally
at
or
about
grade
level,
and
we
will
take
into
account
a
variety
of
issues
as
we
study
it,
including
access
and
flooding
and.
X
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
checking
with
the
maker
of
the
motion.
Councilmember
Lieber
is
that
the
direction
you're,
including
in
in
the
motion.
P
X
Yes,
the
item
so
so
Windows.
There
are
many
issues
related
to
that,
basically
working
with
people
on
on
displays,
but
also
following
up
on
specific
code
enforcement
related
to
Windows,
okay,.
Q
And
then,
what
about
the
item
council
member
Abaco
got
brought
up
about
for
side
improvements
that.
X
Would
be
grants,
yes,
that
would
be
in
so
if
they're
not
related
to
vacant
properties
and
they're
related
to
just
properties
in
general.
Looking
at
facade
improvements,
I
guess
they
would
be
a
different
item
item
nine
I
was
I
was
putting
them
into
the
list
of
incentives
all
the
way
to
looking
at
Community,
but
if
I
know
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
Grants
and
other
options,
but
trying
to
figure
out
I
had
lumped
it
into
vegan
properties,
but
you
know
they
don't
necessarily
have
to
be
vacant.
A
S
S
You
know
I'm
I,
certainly
open
to
looking
at
just
facade
improvements
in
general
and,
frankly,
the
the
barrier
to
entry
because
of
the
higher
the
requirements
that
are
very
costly
for
businesses
when
they
they
want
to
start
downtown
and
then
I
just
want
to
say
you
know
I'm
not
going
to
not
vote
for
this
motion
or
one
item,
but
I
I
really
am
not
interested
in
imminent
domain.
Thanks.
AL
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
just
wanted
to
provide
a
clarification
about
the
funding
for
potential
business
grants
and
kind
of
what's
potentially
coming
down
the
pike.
So
if
Council
will
recall
and
I
know
it
wasn't
that
long
ago,
but
there's
been
so
many
things
happened
since
then,
during
the
budget
adoption
in
June
Council
allocated
various
funding
for
many
arpa
funding
programs.
There
were
a
couple
buckets
of
funding
that
Council
allocated
that
at
that
time,
staff
had
not
yet
had
a
fully
baked
or
developed
program.
AL
It
was
just
in
the
idea,
iteration
phase
of
what
council
was
interested
in
and
then
staff
was
going
to
bring
a
recommended
programmer
project
back
to
council.
So
one
of
those
buckets
of
funding
was
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
some
sort
of
business
grant
event
or
a
program.
At
that
time
we
thought,
maybe
it
could
be
for
sustainability,
improvements
or
things
that
small
businesses
would
need
and
what
I'm
hearing
now
and
what
I've
been
hearing
at
various
points
at
other
agenda
items
and
certainly
in
the
subcommittee.
AL
The
downtown
subcommittee
meeting-
is
that
Council
would
be
interested
in
taking
that
funding
and
really
looking
at
how
we
might
be
able
to
bolster
window
improvements
or
other
other
improvements
that
might
just
help
with
some
of
the
visuals
and
the
Aesthetics.
So
that
is
something
that
staff
is
going
to
currently
be
working
on.
We
just
received
the
arpa
funding,
just
I
think
it
was
only
like
a
month
month
and
a
half
ago,
and-
and
that
is
just
the
funding
from
the
federal
government.
AL
AL
But
obviously
this
is
very
important
to
to
council
and
to
staff
and
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
I
am
hearing
you
and
I
I'll
put
that
on
the
table
for
you
all,
because
that's
that's
that's
where
I'm
hearing
that
you're
going
I'll
also
mention
that
the
second
another
pot
of
funding
that
you
all
allocated
was
another
I
believe
it
was
another
half
million
for
Workforce
Development,
and
that
is
also
something
that
staff
is
working
on
some
sort
of
program
or
recommendation
on
where
Council
might
be
able
to
allocate
that
funding
for
programs
for
folks
that
are
residents
of
Mountain
View
to
help
them
with
training
or
needs
and
getting
into
the
workforce
so
not
necessarily
directly
related
to
this
agenda
item,
but
I
wanted
to
at
least
flag
it,
because
those
were
your
two
two
separate
buckets
of
funding
that
we
hadn't
yet
quite
identified.
AL
What
we
were
going
to
do
with
so
I
wanted
to
point
that
out
then.
The
second
item
that
I
wanted
to
point
out
was
just
the
capacity
of
staff.
So,
as
RT
mentioned,
we,
you
know,
we've
had
staff
leave
the
area
just
like
many
other
agencies,
and
just
like
you've
been
hearing
me
talk
about
the
past
couple
years.
AL
So
we
are
really
trying
to
build
up
our
economic,
Development
Division
right
now
and
we
are
in
the
process
of
recruitments,
and
you
will
also
have
a
position
brought
to
you
at
mid-year
in
February
to
approve
a
new
position
in
economic
development
that
will
that
will
help
with
all
of
these
efforts.
But
it's
going
to
take
time
so
also
in
February
you're,
going
to
have
your
work
plan
process.
AL
So
I'll
just
remind
all
of
you
that
all
of
these
things
that
you're
talking
about
tonight
and
housing
element
items
that
you'll
be
talking
about
next
week
and
all
of
the
other
items
are
all
going
to
be
on
this
really
long
laundry
list
of
things
that
staff
is
going
to
have.
You
know
the
next
couple
years
to
work
on
so
you'll
be
hearing
me
talk
about
discipline
with
adding
more
things,
because
we're
just
going
to
have
to
get
through
all
of
these
really
important
projects
and
priorities.
So
I
just
wanted
to.
AL
Let
you
all
know
that
that
is
a
priority
right
now
we
are
in
the
middle
of
recruiting
and
hopefully
filling
a
position,
and
then
you
all
will
have
the
opportunity
to
approve
a
new
position
in
February,
so
I
hope
that
adds
a
little
bit
more
more
context.
But
I
think
this
is
all
very
important
and
staff
staff.
Certainly
here's
counsel
and
shares
your
concerns
and
priorities
for
for
downtown,
so
I
just
wanted
to
to
take
note
of
that
and
let
you
know
what's
going
on.
R
You
mayor
well
I,
I,
think
that
the
facades
are
incredibly
important.
If
you
stand
on
one
end
of
Castro
Street
and
you
look
down
the
street,
you
see
mostly
the
the
brown
color
of
the
recycled
paint
that
the
city
offered
for
free
at
one
point
in
time,
and
you
know
it
is
not
necessarily
our
vacant
properties,
but
but
some
of
the
properties
that
do
have
active
businesses
in
them
that
have
drooping
awnings
that
are
hanging
free
and
flapping
in
the
wind.
R
Large
populations
of
pigeons,
Etc.
So
I
I
think
that
it's
very
important-
and
we
do
have
this
one
time-
only
Federal
money
that
can
be
used
between
now
and
2026.
R
So
I'd
like
to
suggest
bringing
it
to
our
goal,
setting
to
set
some
parameters
on
it,
so
that
we
can
ensure
that
we
aren't
just
using
the
Public's
money
to
help
out
absentee
landlords
who
have
bringing
to
it
some
some
elements
where
we're
we're
helping
legitimate
striving
businesses
that
that
are
here
in
in
town
and
and
we're
getting
some
benefit
for
the
taxpayer
dollar,
because
we've
talked
a
lot
over
the
past
couple
years
about
well
we'll
use
next
year's
money,
and
we
know
that,
with
a
a
very
large
deficit
at
the
state
level,
25
billion
dollars,
perhaps
50
billion
in
the
second
year
and
also,
what's
going
to
surely
be
a
growing
unwillingness
at
the
federal
level.
R
With
the
the
changeover
in
the
house
to
fund
certain
things.
I
I
really
like
to
see
us
make
judicious
use
of
that
money
that
we
have,
and
so
I'd
like
to
suggest
that
that
development
of
those
parameters
come
back
at
our
goal.
Setting
because
we
really
do
need
to
take
fast
action
for
the
downtown.
R
The
downtown
is
on
on
life
support
right
now
and
if
we
don't
pull
up
on
the
rudder
aesthetically
and
in
terms
of
our
code
enforcement
in
terms
of
good
practices,
around
Greece
disposal
and
garbage
disposal
and
all
those
good
things
then
well
have
have
a
larger
situation
that
we
need
to
deal
with.
So
I
think
we
do
need
to
to
move
towards
that,
and
and
I
think
that
at
our
February
goal
goal
setting
is
a
very
good
place
to
do
that.
R
Make
sure
that
we're
using
this
one-time
money
in
the
best
way
possible.
A
Thank
you.
A
quick
check
in
with
staff
is:
is
it
important
for
us
to
provide
direction
to
develop
those
parameters
through
the
goal
setting
process
or
the
staff
already
have
a
process
that
you
are
using
to
come
back
to
council
with
recommendations
for
the
use
of
the
arpa
funding.
AL
Thank
you
mayor,
so
it
was
always
staff's
intention
to
come
back
to
council
as
a
separate
agenda
item
and
seek
your
approval
of
what
the
program
would
be.
Timing,
wise
I'm,
not
sure
that
it
would
coincide
with
that
exact
date
of
goal
setting,
but
certainly,
if
you
all
give
give
the
you
know,
go
ahead,
that
that
is
what
you
would
like
staff
to
at
least
be
planning
for
and
trying
to
formulate.
A
All
right
so
I,
thank
you.
That's
helpful,
I
I'm
a
little
reluctant
to
force
you
to
come
back
at
a
specific
time.
If
you
don't
have
the
capacity
to
do
the
work,
but
I
think
it's
probably
fair
to
say
that.
Based
on
the
comments
we've
heard,
the
council
would
like
to
work
on
this
as
expeditiously
as
is
reasonably
possible.
Q
Thanks
and
so
we
started
out
this
conversation
talking
about
the
downtown
area,
the
first
three
areas
and
then
phase
two
and
economic
vitality
and
I
was
right
there
with
everything.
Until
we
got
to
number
nine
facade
improvements
and
while
I
know
using
some
of
the
arpa
funds
to
provide
grants
to
address
facade
improvements,
downtown
is
really
important.
I,
don't
want
us
to
forget
about
our
other
businesses
throughout
the
city
and
I.
Q
Q
A
Thank
you
and
then
for
my
benefit,
I
think
that's
an
important
distinction
to
make.
Does
staff
need
any
clarification
or
additional
Direction
regarding
the
facade
program
or
is?
X
If
I
may
add
information
I
think
the
economic
Vitality
strategy
was
going
to
look
at
Best
Practices
and
what
has
worked
in
facade
programs.
I
know
we
used
to
have
one
back
when
we
had
a
Redevelopment
and
we
tried
different
things
and
and
and
ended
up
in
a
certain
place
and
so
I
think
the
the
consultant
team
has
the
ability
to
to
Really
provide
some
best
practices
that
we
can
use.
X
A
Are
there
staffs?
Do
you
have
Clarity
on
the
Motions
we've?
Had
you
read
it
a
couple
of
times
now,
but
would
it
be
helpful
to
go
through
it
one
more
time,
of
course
everybody,
clear,
okay,
I'm,
getting
the
impression
that
everybody's,
clear
okay,
if
there
are
no
remaining
questions
or
comments,
let's
take
a
roll
call
vote.
A
A
Great,
thank
you
very
much.
That
was
a
very
comprehensive
discussion,
but
an
important
one
and
once
again
we're
very
grateful
to
all
of
the
staff
who
have
been
involved
in
this
effort
going
back
to
its
prioritization
I
think
in
June
2019.
So
it's
great
to
get
phase
one
complete.
So
thank
you
again.
A
We
will
now
proceed
to
item
eight
Council
staff
committee
reports.
I've
got
two
I'm
going
to
try
and
roll
through
pretty
quickly.
The
first
is
in
accordance
with
I
believe
it's
Council
policy,
A2
I'd
like
to
disclose
that
I
participated
in
the
National
League
of
cities
conference
in
Kansas
City,
along
with
several
of
my
colleagues
and
I,
believe
that
they
will
share
substantially
similar
information.
It
is
a
taxpayer-funded
trip,
and
so
we
are
required
to
disclose
it.
Lots
of
really
good
opportunities
and
content
and
I'll
share.
A
Two
of
the
the
workshops
I
participated
in
that
I
thought
were
particularly
interesting.
Were
discussions
about
State
preemption
on
local
housing
and
homelessness
policy,
although
it
was
a
different
type
of
preemption
from
what
we
often
see
in
California,
often
with
a
sort
of
a
red
state,
blue
City,
Dynamic,
interesting
but
different
from
us,
and
then
also
in
a
workshop
that
council
member
Showalter
also
joined
regarding
disinformation
and
misinformation
and
how
local
jurisdictions
could
try
and
address
that
concern.
A
And
then
many
of
you
I
think
all
of
everyone
in
the
council
at
least
participated
in
the
tree
lighting
celebration
last
night.
Unfortunately,
you
know
the
the
Grinch
and
I
were
unsuccessful
in
our
efforts
to
disrupt
it.
A
Committee
members
from
the
parks
division,
including
Barry,
Gomez
and
event
committee
members
from
the
performing
arts,
division,
Steve,
Stephen,
Crandall
and
Justin
Hall,
and
then
above
and
beyond
the
committee
members.
A
It
took
it
truly
took
advantage
to
put
on
that
event
and
then,
in
addition
to
City
staff
involving
the
involved
in
the
planning
efforts,
Peninsula
Youth
Theater
was
integral
in
assisting
with
the
script.
Finding
our
Grinch
and
orchestrating
The
Skit
that
I
participated
in
with
the
grandson
Santa
and
represented
us
from
Peninsula
Youth,
Theater
included.
Val,
then
husky.
My
apologies,
I
never
could
have
struggle
with
that
who
played
the
Grinch.
A
He
was
a
16
year
old
actor,
who
I
thought
did
a
phenomenal
job,
especially
in
that
part
where
Samsung
took
a
little
bit
longer
to
get
to
the
stage
than
I
think
we
were
comfortable
with,
but
he
really
helped
out
making
that
carrying
us
through
that
time
period
and
then
Siobhan
still
and
Karen
Simpson
the
executive
director.
So
again
my
sincere
appreciation
to
to
everyone
who
helped
out
last
night.
It
was
a
tremendous
tremendous
event.
A
We
probably
had
several
thousand
people
and,
as
always,
it's
been
a
pleasure
working
with
CSD
and
all
of
the
staff.
This
past
year
is
Mayor
councilmember
Mata
check.
Q
Q
I
also
attended
the
NLC
conference
in
Kansas
City,
and
you
know
I
really
can't
say
enough.
Good
things
about
it.
I
had
a
lot
I
wanted
to
say,
but
in
the
interest
of
time,
I
really
appreciated
a
lot
of
the
keynote
speakers
at
the
General
Sessions,
including
Dr
Sanjay
Gupta,
who
talked
about
a
lot
of
things.
But
one
of
the
things
that
really
hit
home
with
me
was
the
importance
of
nature
to
your
mental
health
and
I
thought.
Oh
boy,
I
can
really
relate
to
that.
Q
There's
nothing
like
a
great
hike
to
recharge
your
soul.
Q
The
workshops
were
great
I
attended
quite
a
few,
and-
and
they
were
very
well
done
and
I
also
participated
in
a
bunch
of
the
mobile
tours
and
the
Kansas
City
streetcar
is
an
incredible
form
of
public
transit
that
they
have
it's
free.
It's
supported
by
a
downtown
tax
on
both
residents
and
businesses
and
it's
incredibly
efficient
and
it
brought
together
three
parts
of
downtown
that
are
separated
by
Major
freeways
because
it
crosses
them
and
it
it
it
just
is
a
fabulous
system.
I
was
very
impressed
with
it.
Q
I
went
to
the
revitalization
of
the
historic
18th
and
Vine
District,
where
the
older
buildings,
some
of
which
were
public
buildings,
one
of
them
says
Public
Works
on
it
are
being
revitalized,
an
elementary
school
is
being
redone
and
the
people
that
are
responsible
for
kick-starting
this
Redevelopment
spoke
with
us
and
they
were
just
phenomenal,
their
Vision
their
their
drive.
It's
going
to
be
great
when
this
is
done,
and
then
I
also
toured
sports
venues
and-
and
that
was
really
interesting.
Sports
are
huge
in
the
area.
Q
Youth
Sports,
in
particular,
are
very
huge
in
the
area
and
I
visited
a
fairly
new
sports
field
that
the
staff
of
Kansas
City
identified
as
something
that
they
needed,
because
people
were
going
to
other
cities
and
spending
their
money
on
restaurants
and
hotels
for
these
tournaments,
and
they
thought
wait
a
minute.
This
is
our
leaky
bucket
analysis.
Us
there's
money
to
be
retained
in
the
city,
so
they
built
this
incredible.
Q
Youth,
Sports,
Complex
I
think
it
was
78
acres
and
it
included
an
all-inclusive
playground,
but
ours
is
going
to
be
so
much
better.
I
must
say:
wait.
I
should
have
probably
said
that
hopefully
they're
not
going
to
watch
this,
but
anyway
I
was
glad
they
thought
about.
It.
Q
I
also
attended
a
Silicon
Valley,
Regional
interoperability,
Authority
meeting
I'm,
the
alternate
for
the
north
county
cities
and
I
attended
as
the
alternate
I
also
participated
in
the
Santa
Clara
County
Airport
land
use
commission
meeting
and
we
are
still
working
on
an
update
to
the
San
Jose
Airport
comprehensive
land
use
plan.
There
was
a
Mountain
View
item
and
I
recuse
myself,
I
feel
like
that
happens.
Q
It
seems
like
almost
every
month
and
then
we
had
two
Council
committee
meetings,
the
Castro
pedestrian
wall,
ad
hoc
committee,
meeting,
where
we
went
with
staff
walking
down
Castro
Street
and
just
talking
about
a
lot
of
things.
That
I
think
we'll
probably
continue
the
conversation
about
at
our
meeting
this
week
and
then
the
other
committee
meeting
was
the
finance
and
investment
review
committee
meeting
where
we
reviewed
the
annual
comprehensive
financial
plan,
the
AC
for
with
the
outside
auditor
and
members
of
the
city's
Finance
team,
and
that's
it
thanks.
A
A
S
Thank
you,
mayor
I
also
wanted
to
report
that
I
also
attended.
The
national
league
of
cities.
Conference
and
I
went
a
little
early
as
I
was
invited
to
participate
in
a
focus
group
on
the
impacts
of
corporate
landlords
and
local
housing
markets,
which
is
very
much
tied
to
the
what
the
mayor
is
talking
about.
S
It's
the
the
challenge
is
very
different
from
our
challenges.
Frankly,
I
learned
ended
up
learning
a
lot,
but
in
various
cities
in
the
like
in
the
midwest,
these
corporations
come
in
and
buy
a
you
know,
hundreds
and
thousands
of
units
of
housing
and
then
make
it
more
unaffordable,
and
what
I
learned
was
the
preemption
issue
was
was,
as
the
mayor
described,
when
cities
want
to
try
to
move
to
implement
tenant
protections.
S
If
you
know,
if
they're
a
blue
City
in
a
red
State,
the
state
legislature
comes
in
and
stops
any
attempt
to
do
so,
and
so
it's
very
interesting
I
wasn't
really
sure
why
I
was
invited
to
represent
Mountain
View,
because
you
know
our
experience
is
very
different,
but
I
think
I
think
I
was
able
to
share
some
of
the
the
measures.
AD
S
We
have
taken
to
to
try
to
continue
to
provide
affordable
housing
opportunities,
so
I
found
it
a
very
interesting,
informative
exchange
and
I
did
end
up
going
to
workshops
focused
on
affordable
housing,
but
I
have
to
say
many
of
them.
There's
like
strategies
on
how
to
provide
more
and
affordable
housing
they're
like
five
tools
that
are,
you
know
and
whatnot
we've
actually
checked
every.
S
What's
up
so
I
felt
like
we
could
actually
teach
these
workshops
rather
than
I
I
yeah
just
have
to
say,
I
didn't,
learn
anything
new,
but
I
did
attend
one
on
pellet
homes,
which
is
something
that
I've
been
very
interested
in
they're
like
tiny
homes
and
so
I
thought.
That
was
a
interesting
concept
and
I
know
some
communities
around
us
are
looking
at
that
are
starting
to
implement
so
I.
S
It
was
interesting
and
informative
to
to
learn
more
about
the
the
that
type
of
housing
option
and
then
I
attend
I.
So
like
shared
and
Ed
VTA,
ad
hoc
grade
separations
committee,
meeting
I
think
I
mentioned
the
chair
has
created
this
committee
and
it's
comprised
of
Mountain
View,
Palo,
Alto
and
Sunnyvale
in
an
attempt
to
try
to
coordinate
work
closely
together,
keep
informed
of
each
other's
projects
and
see
where
we
can.
S
You
know,
coordinate
timing,
wise
and
also
share
our
experiences
and
where
we
are
in
our
projects,
and
then
we
also
have
Caltrain
staff
at
these
meetings,
as
in
addition
to
BTA
staff
and
our
staff.
Thank
you
to
miss
on
Cameron
for
Staffing
these
meetings,
but
it
was
actually
a
very
fruitful
meeting
we
had
where
we
came
up
with
some
some
of
the
challenges
that
we're
all
experiencing,
one
of
them
being,
of
course,
funding
and
one
of
the
questions
that
we've
asked
that
be
brought
up
or
opposed
to
the
Caltrain
board.
S
Is
the
idea
of
cost
sharing
at
this
time?
S
The
way
it
works
is,
you
know,
Caltrain
is
in
charge
or
they
take
charge
of
the
projects,
but
the
city's
Incarnation
with
VTA,
who
helps
us
with
finding
grants,
are
in
charge
of
finding
the
funding
to
to
fund
the
projects
and
there's
a
bit
of
a
dis
disconnect
there
because
Caltrain,
you
know,
I
feel
that
if
they're
not
in
charge
of
finding
the
funding,
they
don't
understand,
they're,
not
as
aware
or
they're,
not
as
cognizant
of
the
challenges
of
funding
and
and
how
cost
you
know,
drivers
can
affect
whether
these
projects
can
actually
be
completed
or
not.
S
So
that
was
one
of
the
items
that
came
out
of
this
meeting
that
we
are
asking
for
follow-up
on
with
trains,
so
I
am
very
encouraged.
We
we're
going
to
be
meeting
every
other
month
through
next
year
and
probably
until
these
projects
are
completed,
but
I
will
continue
to
provide
updates
on
that
and
then
it
my
thanks
to
our
staff
for
wonderful
Tree,
Lighting
Event.
S
I
attended
the
cups
and
gobblers
program
that
the
police
department,
department
and
Public
Safety
Foundation,
put
on
where
they
provide
Thanksgiving
meals
to
our
lower
income,
families
and
I
think
there
were
600
meals
delivered
this
year,
26
years,
I
believe
they've
been
doing
this
and
again
I
just
want
to
thank
our
and
our
our
Police
Department
Personnel,
who
do
this
on
really
as
a
volunteer
effort
for
doing
that
and
providing
this
this
great
service
to
to
our
community
I'm,
just
so
proud
of
our
our
employees,
our
staff
here
our
organization.
D
Well,
I'm
just
going
to
follow
up
on
a
little
bit
because
most
of
these
things
have
already
been
reported
on
I
too
attended
the
national
league
of
cities
conference
and
it
was
great
fun,
but
boy
was
it
cold.
I
I
was
18
degrees
on
several
mornings,
that
is,
that
is
really
cold
and
we
just
are
not
acclimated
to
that
and
and
frankly
I'm
very
grateful
that
I
don't
have
to
be
acclimated
to
that.
S
D
Anyway,
I
would
have
to
just
data
what
mayor
Ramirez
said
about
the
disinformation
and
misinformation
seminar
that
was
really
interesting.
We
we
sat
next
to
a
journalist
who
sort
of
a
journalism
Professor
who
who
was
also
a
council
member
and
had
a
you
know
a
very
interesting
discussion
about
how
to
really
can
convey
the
truth
to
your
to
your
constituents
and
that
you're
trustworthy
and
because
you
know,
if
the
information
comes
from
a
a
source
that
isn't
considered
trustworthy
people,
don't
you
know,
people
don't
believe
it.
D
So
so
the
idea
of
thinking
about
both
of
those
things
and
and
how
to
promote
them,
I
thought
was
really
good
and
also
sort
of
setting
up
a
system
of
people
in
your
community
that
help
you
get
the
information
out.
D
I
thought
was
interesting.
Another
thing
I
I,
really
enjoyed
from
the
Sanjay
Gupta
talk,
was
the
the
concept
of
planning
for
good
public
health
for
your
community.
You
know:
what
can
you
do
to
land
for
from
a
land
use
planning
point
of
view
to
promote
good
Public
Health
I
mean
clearly
making
the
community
walkable
having
good
Parks.
D
Those
are
things
that
you
can
do
and
obviously
there's
quite
a
bit
of
programming
too,
but
anyway,
it
was
just
something
that
I've
been
thinking
about
and
I
think
we
all
should
just
kind
of
noodle
on
just
what
does
that
mean?
And
how
can
we
put
that
into
practice
and
I
went
to
a
bcdc
meeting
and
we
are
soon
going
to
have
a
workshop
on
Bay
adapt
which
I'll
be
talking
to
you
more
about
and
I
also
want
to
mention
the
neighborhood
committee
meeting
we
had
last
Thursday.
D
We
had
a
very
robust
discussion
about
our
work
plan
for
the
next
year
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
things
everybody's
very
positive
about
the
you
know
about
the
neighborhood
meetings
we
have
where
their
staff
representatives
from
from
each
department
that
are
available
to
answer
questions
by
the
people
in
in
the
region
and
or
the
or
the
district
or
the
area
or
whatever
the
neighborhood.
D
Whatever
we
call
these
groups
that
that's
really
a
very
valuable
service
that
we
perform
and
we
want
to
continue
to
perform
it,
but
we're
we're
we're
interested
in
finding
out
how
the
community
feels
about
having
those
be
virtual,
because
it
could
be
easier
for
people
with
child
care
issues,
ETC
et
cetera,
to
take
part.
Or
is
it
much
more
important
to
go
back
to
having
them
in
person?
And
so
I.
D
Think
that
that's
that's
something
we
might
want
to
figure
out
a
way
to
query
the
the
community
on
and
staff
is
going
to
be
working
on
that,
so
just
just
those
few
things
and
and
the
tree
lighting.
Yes,
it
was
delightful
and
staff
did
a
fabulous
job
and
we
went
out
to
dinner
afterwards
and
we
weren't
the
only
ones.
So
it
was
I.
I
hope
that
it
was
good
for
the
businesses
and
our
community
as
well
as
the
coming.
You
know
just
all
the
residents
that
had
a
great
time.
P
Great
excuse
me
great,
thank
you
so
I
also
attended
the
national
league
of
cities.
I
think
one
of
the
best
parts
was
visiting
the
hometown
of
our
city
manager,
so
that
was
really
fun
and
get
to
get
to
learn
about
the
the
place
that
gave
us
such
a
wonderful
city
manager
and
then
just
wanted
to
also
report
that
we
had
a
car
commuting.
A
council
appointment,
Review
Committee
on
the
21st
I
attended
a
track
finance
committee
meeting
we're
actually
holding
our
board
meeting
tomorrow.
P
R
R
That's
in
public
service
that
I
I
know
all
my
colleagues
here
really
feel
and
then
I
was
able
to
be
back
for
tree
lighting
and
it
was
so
inspiring
to
see
families
being
able
to
bring
their
children
and
everybody
taking
photographs
in
our
city,
manager's
daughter
up
on
stage
as
the
eighth
council
member
up,
there
was
very,
very
impressive
and
then
I
wanted
to
report
that
I
I
had
a
little
meeting
with
a
council
member
Showalter
the
other
day
to
talk
about
funding
for
estuaries
and
how
the
San
Francisco
Bay
gets
only
a
a
small
fraction
of
the
money
that
some
of
the
other
estuaries
in
the
U.S
get
and
so
I
know
that's
something
that
she'll
be
following
up
on
and
I'll
be
following
up
on
as
well,
and
talking
about
Federal
legislation.
R
The
pregnant
workers,
Fairness
Act
at
the
the
federal
level-
and
this
is
a
bill
that
was
sponsored
in
the
house.
It
has
already
passed
the
house,
but
not
yet
the
Senate
by
Gerald
Nadler
from
New
York,
and
it
is
a
bill
that
fine-tunes
some
Employment
Practices
to
say
that
it's
an
unlove
unlawful
employment
practice
to
fail
to
make
reasonable
accommodations
to
known
limitations
of
workers
that
are
pregnant
unless
the
accommodation
would
impose
an
undue
hardship
on
an
entities.
A
R
That
would
be
very
satisfactory,
and
if
issues
related
to
this
policy
area
are
not
part
of
our
portfolio,
we
can
always
consider
adding
that,
because
I
think
it
it
should
be
part
of
part
of
what
we
put
forward
in
terms
of
our
our
policy
goals
and
objectives.
AL
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
member
labor,
yes,
I
think
we
can
certainly
ask
our
legislative
advocacy
firm
for
any
feedback
and
then
Council
will
also
consider
your
ledge
platform
in
January.
So
that's
when
it's
going
to
be
coming
to
you,
it's
going
to
be
the
second
meeting
in
January.
So
as
mentioned,
if
there
is
a
gap-
and
you
want
to
add
this
topic
to
to
our
to
your
platform,
you
can
certainly
do
that
next
month
too.
AL
R
There
would
that
would
be
very
satisfactory
and
I'll
note
that
the
bill
is
co-authored
by
congresswoman
Anna,
Ashu
and
Jackie
spear,
who
has
meet
at
a
a
special
priority
in
terms
of
her
Equity
issues.
A
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
drawing
our
attention
to
that
legislation.
I'm
pretty
sure
it
will
be
consistent
with
our
platform.
Are
there
any
remaining
reports
comments
questions?
A
B
Thank
you.
I
do
have
a
closed
session
report
this
evening
in
closed
