C
Apologies,
I
was
saying
I
was
just
having
a
minor
technical
difficulty.
Just
give
me
one
moment:
okay,
no,
I'm
not
seeing
anyone
with
their
hands
raised.
A
Then
we'll
bring

december

adopter
as
put
forth
by
staff
and
apologies
to
anyone.
Listening
again,
I'm
sorry,
I'm
still
pretty
congested
from
a
couple
winter
bugs.
F
A
B
F
A
Next
thing
on
the
agenda
is
oral
communications.
This
portion
of
the
meeting
is
reserved
for
persons
wishing
to
address
the
epc
on
any
matter,
not
on
the
agenda.
This
evening,
speakers
are
allowed
to
speak
on
any
topic
up
for
up
to
three
minutes.
During
this
section.
State
law
prohibits
the
commission
from
acting
on
non-agenda
items.
Would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comment
on
a
non-agenda
item?
A
A
And
we
will
bring
it
back
to
the
commission
and
move
on
to
item
number
five,
which
is
public
hearing
first
item
is
5.1
is
mixed-use
development
project
at
601-649,
esquela
avenue
and
1873
latham
street.
Do
any
commissioners
wish
to
disclose
any
contacts
with
the
applicant
or
site
visits?
I
visited
the
site
krishna
gutierrez.
B
J
J
J
The
applicant
is
requesting
to
incorporate
the
eastern
parcel,
which
is
highlighted
in
the
bold
black
here
into
the
mixed
use,
corridor
general
plan,
land
use
and
then
also
the
p38
el
camino
precise
plan,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
image
on
the
right,
so
that
will
be
consistent
with
a
part,
the
western
parcel
at
the
corner
of
escuela
and
latham.
So
this
request
requires
a
general
planned
land
use
map,
amendment,
zoning
map,
amendment
and
a
precise
plan
amendment,
and
this
project
qualifies
for
an
exemption
from
the
gatekeeper
process.
J
The
applicant
is
proposing
to
develop
a
new
three-story
mixed-use
building.
This
is
a
site
plan
which
shows
the
ground
floor,
2400
square
feet
to
the
west
and
there's
additional
25
residential
apartment
units
on
the
two
floors
above
parking
is
accessed
on
latham
and
it's
located
at
grade
and
one
level
of
underground
parking
for
residents.
J
This
project
is
within
our
bmr
requirement
of
15,
and
that
includes
four
inclusionary,
affordable
housing
units
to
accommodate
for
low
and
moderate
income
households.
The
project
complies
with
the
parking
meeting
with
63
parking
spaces,
a
mix
of
retail
and
residential,
and
this
project
does
not
have
any
heritage
trees
on
site.
So
there
are
no
true
removal
permits.
J
J
This
is
a
view
from
latham
street.
The
building
is
designed
to
scale
appropriately,
as
you
know,
on
the
eastern
side,
which
is
the
left
of
this
image.
There
is
a
single
family
home,
so
there
are
residential
uses
to
the
east,
and
youth
is
directly
to
the
north.
On
latham
street,
there
are
height
transitions
that
you
can
see
here.
J
Most
of
the
massing.
The
three
story
is
towards
the
corner
on
the
right
and
then
on
the
left-hand
side.
You
see
two-story
buildings.
There
are
landscape
buffers
along
the
edge
on
the
eastern
southern
property
line
to
maximize
privacy
and
address
any
privacy
objectives
of
the
el
camino
real
precise
plan.
J
So
tonight's
epc
recommendation
will
be
forwarded
to
city
council
for
a
final
decision
that
council
hearing
is
tenderly
scheduled
for
february
8th
of
this
year,
and
so
the
pr
proposed
project
provides
a
mixture
of
commercial
and
rental
housing
units
and
it's
adjacent
to
the
el
camino
corridor,
which
does
comply
with
our
general
plan
goals
for
mixed-use
neighborhoods
and
the
intent
of
the
el
camino
real
precise
plan.
Therefore,
staff
recommends
that
the
epc
makes
the
following
five
recommendations
that
are
listed
here
to
the
city
council
to
approve
the
proposed
project.
J
A
J
Britney
is,
is
my
applicant
promoted.
C
A
So
for
folks,
who
haven't
been
through
one
of
a
meeting
like
this
before,
as
this
is
a
topic
that
we'll
be
voting
on
the
process,
is
that
we
first
open
up
for
questions
from
the
planning.
Commission,
then
turn
it
over
for
questions
and
comments
from
the
public
and
then
return
back
to
the
epc
for
final
discussion
and
vote.
So
at
this
point,
are
there
any
questions
from
commissioners
regarding
the
project
commissioner,
gutierrez.
F
L
Well,
commissioner,
that's
a
very
a
very,
very
good
question.
As
you
know,
the
city
is
going
to
require
us
to
have
a
transportation
plan
in
place
for
those
kind
of
things.
So
you
know
we'll
have
construction.
You
know
flag
guys
out
there
I
mean
we
don't
think
I'll
be
controlled.
The
you
know,
flag
men
with
stop
signs
and
all
this
stuff
it'll
be
it'll,
be
somewhat
of
a
challenge.
L
But
of
course
a
lot
depends
on
I
mean:
are
the
kids
gonna
be
in
school?
Then?
Who
knows
with
this
crazy,
cove
and
stuff
right,
but
we'll
we'll
come
up
with
a
plan
and
that's
one
of
the
conditions
of
approval
that
we
have
to
have
a
plan
in
place
prior
to
obtaining
a
building
permit,
so
we'll
be
working
with
our
civil
engineer.
L
Our
traffic
engineer,
hexagon
was
part
of
that
analysis
for
through
the
er,
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
with
hexagon
over
the
years
and
then
we'll
come
up
with
a
plan.
That's
going
to
work
for
public
works
and
and
also
to
deal
with
safety.
The
kids
and
also
the
accessibility
for
the
for
the
people
who
live
in
the
neighborhood
they've
got
to
be
able
to
get
it
out
of
that
area
as
well.
L
So
I'm
sure
we'll
probably
have
one
or
two
wax
on
it
before
we
all
agree
something
that
works,
but
we're
planning
having
a
place,
a
plan
in
place
that
will
be
very
geared
towards
safety
and
control
of
traffic
and
protecting
the
kids
when
they
walk
to
school.
Those
kind
of
things.
F
H
Thank
you,
commissioner
cranston.
So
a
couple
questions
first,
is
for
the
applicant
and
staff.
I
noticed
that
the
staff
report
noted
that
the
commercial
square
footage
is
set
to
be
2400
square
feet,
but
in
the
project
plan
it
cites
2700
square
feet.
H
So
I'm
wondering
was
there
a
change
which
is
the
source
of
truth,
and
if
there
was
a
change,
what
was
the
accounting
for
the
reduction
in
square
footage.
L
Can
you
go
back
to
your
share
the
screen
and
pull
up
that
the
site
plan.
L
So
I
I
don't
have
a
cursor
but
we're
that
areas
that
shows
proposed
building
that
is
commercial
space
there
and
we
have
some
additional
storage.
That's
behind
that
wall.
You
can
see
those
two
blocks
to
the
right
of
that.
That
would
be
also
that
support
space
for
the
commercial,
so
the
2400
square
feet
is
net
usable
in
the
commercial
area.
So
that's
what
the
difference
is
so.
L
See
that
ability
to
see
where
it
says
proposed,
building
yeah
if
you
go
to
the
right,
you'll,
see
that
there's
a
door
that
goes
to
the
parking
lot
right
off
right
to
the
right
of
d
right
there,
because
the
room
above
and
below
those
are
assurance
of
that
area,
with
storage
for
the
commercial
space.
So
the
2400
square
feet
is
net
usable
2700
square
feet
would
be
the
gross
okay.
All
right
and
you're,
probably
gonna.
Ask
this
question
I'll,
just
jump
in
and
address
it
that
space
is
designed
to
be
very
flexible.
L
We
can
have
two
tenants,
one
tenant,
three
tenants,
that's
why
we
have
access
points
around
both
sides
of
the
building,
so
we
create
flexibility
on
that
for,
for
whatever
type
of
data
we
may
get
in
the
future.
But
one
thing
we
were
very
concerned
about
is
we
made
sure
there
was
some
additional
area
outside
of
the
commercial
space
for
potential
outdoor
dining.
As
we
all
know,
with
code
things
have
changed
up,
people
look
at
you
know.
L
If
we
have
an
opportunity,
I'm
a
small,
eater
or
something
people
are
going
to
want
to
be
able
outside
and
that's
what
that
space
is
on
the
outside
of
the
building.
So
we
get
activation
of
the
users
on
the
exterior
of
the
building,
so
they'll
be
outside,
but
they're
under
an
overhang,
so
they're
protected
part
of
the
problem.
As
we
all
know
in
today's
world,
is
that
yeah
you
want
to
be
outside,
but
it
gets
pretty
doggone
cold
out
there.
L
H
Awesome
cool
and
then
the
second
question
I
have
thanks
for
answering
by
the
way.
The
second
question
I
have
is
is
also
for,
I
guess,
a
mix
of
staff
and
the
applicant.
So
I
understand
that
there
is
a
one
of
the
parcels
is
currently
occupied
by
a
single
family
home,
and
I
also
understand
that
there
was
some
kind
of
timing.
You
know
mix
up
with.
H
You
know
our
own
determination
or
or
the
city's
determination
that
this
project
would
be
falling
under
sp
330
and
then
also
the
occupant
of
that
single-family
home
vacating.
The
the
premises
and
I
I
will
discuss
actually
had
just
before
the
pandemic
happened
actually
knocked
on
that
person's
door
and
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
to
them
and
I
didn't
anticipate,
I
wouldn't
have
a
chance
to
go
back
and
actually
talk
to
them,
but
I
am
very
curious
about
the
applicant.
H
I
guess
first
question
is
to
the
applicant
what
were
or
what
are
the
steps
that
have
been
taken
for
you
to
determine
what
kind
of
relocation
assistance
is
necessary
for
this
tenant
or
the
former
tenants?
What
were
what
was
the
cadence
of
outreach?
That
was
attempted
to
you
know,
get
in
touch
with
the
former
residents
once
it
was
clear
that
they
had
vacated
and
the
mix-up
was
clarified
and
then
for
staff.
H
You
know
if,
if
it
was
kind
of
you
know
a
timing,
mix-up
or
something
like
that,
like
what
are
the
recourses
available
for
us
to
try
and
get
back
in
touch
with
the
the
tenant
or
if
we,
someone
from
the
community,
can
produce
the
contact
information
of
that
former
resident.
What
would
be
the
the
mechanisms
available
for
us
to
ensure
that
that
they
can
get
their
due
relocation
assistance?
So
I
guess
I'll
go
to
the
applicant
first.
L
Those
are
all
good
questions.
The
outreach
was
handled
by
the
owner
of
the
property,
nancy,
nancy
g
and
she's
had
a
continuing
dialogue
with
the
commercial
tenants
and
she's.
Let
them
know-
and
you
know
they've
expressed
and-
and
several
people
have
already
left
for
what
I
understand
and
that
this
is
not
you
know
held
in
stone
here,
but
those
tenants
left
on
their
own,
not
because
this
project
was
coming.
L
As
you
all
know,
you've
been
involved
in
in
this
industry
for
a
while
now
so
if
we
get
approval
from
council
in
february,
hopefully
everything
goes
well.
It's
going
to
be
15
16
months
before
we're
going
to
break
ground,
and
it's
going
to
be
probably
15
to
16
months,
they're
about
construction
sequence
to
get
through
this
whole
thing.
So
they've
been
from
what
I
understand.
L
They've
actually
been
out
of
the
house
for
several
months,
so
I
think
it
was
a
personal,
a
situation
that
required
them
to
move
and
they
weren't
moving
out
because
they
were
afraid
of
the
construction.
So,
but
I
can't
answer
back
because
I
didn't
have
any
meetings
with
the
attendance
presented
by
the
owner.
H
Cool
and
I'll
just
kind
of
before
going
to
stuff
I'll
just
touch
on
that
just
given
that
I
would
be
interested
in
seeing
what
would
be
available,
and
I
mean,
even
if
you
guys
would
do
it.
You
know
you
know
we
can't
maybe
kind
of
compel
anything.
H
But
you
know
it
would
be
nice
just
from
a
community
perspective,
to
know
that
if
we
were
able
to
get
back
in
touch
with
those
people
that
you
know
there
would
be
something
that
could
be
done
just
because
I
I
I
would
disagree
that
it's
a
personal
choice
insofar
as
you
know,
when
someone
wakes
up
one
morning
and
there's
a
redevelopment
sign
on
their
front
yard,
that
choice
actually
doesn't
become
so
much
personal.
H
So
much
as
a
matter
of
time,
and
just
given
the
language
you
know
barriers
prevalent
in
that
neighborhood,
it
would
be
difficult.
You
know
from
my
understanding
of
that
community.
It
would
be
more
likely
that
someone
would
just
self-effect
only
because
they
aren't
as
capable
of
being
savvy
from
like
a
time,
and
you
know
personal
management
perspective
to
all
these
rules
and
development,
or
even
know
that
trail
might
be
available
to
them.
And
so
then,
I
guess
for
staff.
I
would
be
curious
about
you
know.
H
Knowing
you
know
what
what
would
be
able
able
for
us
to
be
able
to
kind
of
in
the
late
stage
of
the
game?
What
could
we
do
to
ensure
that
if
we
can't
get
in
touch
with
with
these
people
that
you
know
we,
we
review
eligibility
for
trio
and
if
they're
found
to
be
eligible
that
we
can
get
this
assistance
to
them?.
J
Thank
you,
commissioner
nunes
we
do
have
with
us
michaela
hellman
tincher
from
housing.
You
know
we
appreciate
you
bringing
up
that
concern
and
you
know
we
do
our
best
to
reach
out
to
through
the
applicant
and
the
property
owner
to
get
that
contact
information.
We
do
have
specific
forms
asking
of
the
applicant
to
provide
that
information,
so
we
can
make
sure
we
do
our
due
diligence
as
well.
J
M
Thanks,
commissioner
nunez,
certainly
if
we
were
in
touch
with
the
applicant,
I
think
we
would
take
the
steps
to
figure
out
what,
if
anything,
we
could
find
that
they
were
eligible,
for.
We
always
want
to
make
sure
that
people
are
getting
what
they're
eligible
for.
So,
if
that
were
to
happen,
we'd
be
happy
to
to
to
do
the
due
diligence
with
with
the
tenant
and
see
what's
possible.
L
B
All
right,
commissioner,.
G
Yes,
thank
you
two
very
quick
questions.
I
think.
Maybe
it's
just
my
not
understanding.
It's
just
a
clarification
question.
I
know
there
was
a
request
for
and
a
very
small
minor
exception
to
some
setbacks
on
the
upper
floors,
and
one
was
for
the
juliet
balconies
and
the
coverings
and
the
other
was
for
patio.
I
wasn't
sure
where
the
patio
was
like,
which
patios
were
you?
Speaking
of
that
that
is
listed.
J
J
People
just
see
my
screen.
Yes,
thank
you
yeah,
so
this
is
the
roof
arcade
facing
I'll
squala
here
and
lace
them
to
the
left.
So
these
are
actually
patio
spaces
for
the
second
floor,
and
so
because
this
arcade
is
an
extension
of
the
first
floor,
which
is
in
compliance
with
the
first
floor
setback.
Essentially,
it
is
not
in
compliance
with
the
second
floor,
otherwise
it
would
need
to
be
set
back
so
essentially
they're
maximizing
the
space
from
first
floor
to
second
floor
and
keeping
it
one
facade
right
here.
J
G
Got
it
thank
you
for
that,
it's
very
clear
now
and
then
the
the
second
question-
and
maybe
this
is
more
of
a
public
works
one,
but
it
because
there's
work
being
done
to
the
sidewalks,
which
I
very
much
appreciate.
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
big,
it's
a
big
improvement,
but
I
was
going
to
ask
this
and
I
realized
it's
easier
just
to
draw
it.
So
I
did
a
very
fast
and
dirty
diagram.
G
G
Yeah
you're
already
bumping
out,
which
is
really
nice
to
decrease
this
distance,
and
I
see
that
the
street
latham
already
kind
of
cuts
in.
I
was
wondering
whether
we
could
also
do
this.
It's
such
a
walka
walked
area.
G
It
would
cut
like.
I
think,
it's
about
five
feet
if
we
could
bump
it
out
another
five
feet
and
if
we
did
the
same
on
the
north
side,
three
feet
we're
decreasing
the
the
street
by
eight
feet
that
you
have
to
feel
like
you're
crossing.
You
know
what
I
mean,
so
it
adds
to
the
safety
and
the
walkability
of
the
area
and
because
it's
mixed
use
now,
because
it's
now
a
destination
given
the
commercial
ground
floor,
I
didn't
know
if
there
was
any
reason
not
to
potentially
look
at
that.
L
You
know
I
will
tell
you
from
the
from
design
standpoint.
You
know
there
are
some
very
valid
points
that
you
just
made,
and
I
will
tell
you
from
from
working
with
with
staff,
we're
flexible
if,
if
the
staff
and
bubble
works
thinks
that's
a
good
idea
to
do,
we'll
be
glad
to
do
that
as
part
of
the
project.
I
think
it
would
enhance
that
corner
experience
until
and
you've
seen
it
done
in
many
other
communities
around
south
bay,
so
we'll
go
either
way.
G
I
know
that's
definitely
something
internal
to
the
city
and
I
just
and
putting
it
out
there.
I
know
that
it
may
not
be
easy
to
answer
right
now,
but
it
would
be
great
to
investigate,
given
that
there
are
the
two
schools
there
and
destinations
and
mixed
use
and
getting
to
el
camino
corridor
from
the
neighborhoods.
J
Commissioner
ying
I'd
like
to
speak
to
that
public
works
did
review
the
bulb
out
along
that
way.
Just
the
way
it's
designed
right
now
because
of
the
existing
commercial
across
the
street,
there
would
be
some
conflicts
with
the
driveways
there.
So
therefore,
you
know
we're
just
following
the
california
escuela
shoreline
study,
which
just
has
the
main
bulb
out
along
escuela.
G
O
Yes,
we
can,
we
can
definitely
definitely
take
your
ideas
back.
I
know
renee
god
from
our
public
works
department
is
with
us
tonight,
so
we
can
definitely
take
take
those
ideas
back
and
take
a
look.
G
B
And
commissioner.
A
I
Sure
thank
you
chair.
I
just
had
two
small
questions
confirmations
both
for
the
applicant
first.
I
understand
this
to
be
true,
but
I
just
want
to
hear
you
say
it.
The
the
third
floor,
rooftop
amenity,
which
I
imagine
is
relatively
large.
I
couldn't
quite
figure
out
what
its
dimensions
were.
Looking
at
the
plans,
but
I'm
a
you
know
a
lawyer,
not
an
architect.
So
that's
why
I
can't
read
them
very
well.
I
Can
you
confirm
for
me
that
the
rooftop
amenity
does
not
look
out
directly
over
the
residential
part
that
the
that
the
parcel
of
butts
just
because
I
feel
like
the
people
that
are
like
in
that
one
little
corner
that
live
right
next
to
it
and
beyond?
They
wouldn't
want
a
bunch
of
people
looking
right
over
and
I
don't
think
that's
the
case,
but
just
confirm
for
me
that
I
understand
that
correctly.
L
Great
observation:
we
originally,
we
actually
had
a
barbecue
area
over
there
and
working
with
staff.
We
went,
you
know
what
let's
get
all
that
activity
over
on
the
squalo
side.
Let's
get
that
away
from
the
single
family,
so
the
whole
side
is
is
basically
origins
to
the
north
and
and,
as
you
know,
when
you
look
at
the
building
the
building
terraces,
we
could
get.
We
have
that
45
degree
line
we
have
to
deal
with,
so
it
continues
to
move
further
away
from
the
single
family
homes
as
it
gets
taller.
L
So
it's
quite
a
ways
away
we're
at
the
landscape.
Along
that
whole
side.
I
think
that
the
privacy
for
that
a
single-family
residence
is
going
to
be.
You
know
very
intact.
I
think
we're
not
going
to
have
any
encroachment
at
all
and
we're
really
excited
about
that.
Many
we
think
that's
going
to
be
a
great.
Did
you
do
the
project
from
a
communal
open
space?
Now,
if
you
know
this
or
not,
but
we
the
elevator
goes
all
the
way
to
the
roof.
L
I
Perfect
so
second
question:
the
the
parking
is
being
handled
down
below
with
stackers
correct
I've.
I
have
no
experience
with
a
parking
stack.
I've
never
used
one.
My
instinctual
concern
was
that
they
might
be
a
pain
to
use-
and
I
say
this
having
never
used.
Okay
and
what
I
would
not
want
to
see
is
a
parking
solution
dependent
on
stackers.
That
residents
then
go.
Oh,
that
is
such
a
pain.
I
don't
want
to
deal
with
that
I'll
just
park
on
the
street.
L
So
we've
started
designing
several
projects
that
use
mechanical
stackers
and
before
we
got
involved
with
that,
we
actually
went
to
several
several
sites
that
have
these
that
are
currently
built
in
being
used
being
occupied,
oakland
berkeley,
all
that
area,
because
that's
very
prevalent
up
there
because
of
the
parking
is
such
essential
minimum.
You
need
to
provide
it
and
they're
really
they're,
pretty
amazing
when
you
see
them
in
operation.
So
what
you'll
do
is
you'll
have
a
code
on
your
phone
you'll,
be
your
apartment,
okay,
okay!
L
It's
amazing
you've
got
this
these
things
so
dialed
down
you're
looking
at
even
and
so
when
you
pull
in
you
pull
into
the
vacant
spot
you
get
out,
you
do
the
safety
chain,
you
hit
a
button
and
you
walk
away
and
it
puts
a
car
where
it's
supposed
to
go.
It
is
a
very,
very
effective
way
to
create
to
create
a
lot
of
parking
in
a
small
area.
L
As
you
know,
when
you
build
podiums,
especially
when
we
go
lower
because
our
groundwater,
the
bay
area,
is
between
25
and
30
feet
if
on
a
bad
year,
this
year
will
be
it'll,
be
it'll,
be
much
higher
because
we're
refilling
all
the
aquafires.
So
you
got
to
deal
with.
You
know
we
have
to
deal
with
dewater
and
everything
else.
So
so
we
can
keep
our
intrusion
going
underground
to
a
minimum
by
going
stackers
that
get
more
efficient
one
it.
L
It
gets
us
out
of
the
groundwater,
but
we
get
a
much
more
efficient
solution
and
it
it
becomes
it's
just
it's
just
a
wave
of
the
future.
I
mean
it
really
is
we're
doing
a
project
in
san
jose
right
now,
where
we
actually
have
in
a
area.
That's
50
feet
wide
by
80
feet
wide
a
button.
L
I
L
We
size
it
so
they
have
different
stall
sizes.
You
know
small
compact
being
like
us
and
then
what
we
do
is
we
basically
go
with
the
medium
salt.
They
all
suvs
will
fit
because
you
got
the
vertical
light
you
have
to
deal
with.
You
have
to
deal
with
it
with
so
and
they
become
assigned
stalls
they're
assigned
to
that
do
not
order
that
car,
so
they
work
really
well.
L
If
you
have
an
opportunity,
you
should
really
go
check
them
out
in
and
what
I'll
do
is
I'll
get
a
couple
addresses
for
element
I'll,
send
it
to
ellen
and
she
can
share
with
y'all.
So
you
can
go
see
them
in
operation
they're,
very,
very
interesting,
and
it's
going.
That
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
You're,
not
building
all
these
ramps
and
all
this
and
you
know
we're
not
doing
all
the
mechanical
ventilation.
It
saves
a
lot
of
money,
it's
more
efficient.
Okay.
Thank
you.
You're
welcome.
A
Were
opposed
by
other
commissioners,
so
at
this
point
we
will
move
it
for
public
comment.
L
Here
before
you
before
you
close
up
here,
I
want
to
tell
you
all
how
much
I
appreciate
stephanie's
staff
and
special
work
with
ellen
to
get
us
to
this
point.
We've
been
working
on
this
project
with
several
staff,
and-
and
I
I
can't
tell
you
what
a
great
job
they've
done,
how
much
of
a
pledge
has
been
worked
with
and
get.
This
is
a
different
type
of
project.
L
It's
a
little
more
cutting
edge
and
I
think
staff
has
done
a
great
job
and
I
just
really
appreciate
their
efforts,
helping
us
get
through
this
process,
and
I
really
think
that
the
design
solution
that
you're
in
safe
right
is
is
going
to
be
a
great
addition
to
the
city
also
to
the
era,
and
I
think
it's
going
to
it's
going
to
facilitate
some
future
renovation
in
that
area.
Some
of
some
of
the
older
buildings
across
the
street
and
categories.
L
A
I
really
appreciate
staff's
efforts.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
We'll
open
up
for
public
comment

of
the
public
on

six
epc
clerk

to
let
you

when

up.
Ms
whitehill,
do
we
have
any
wishing
to
speak.
C
We
do
have
a
few
raised
hands.
Let
me
go
ahead
and
share
my
screen,
so
you
should
be
able
to
see
the
timer.
It
looks
like
the
first
race
hand,
is
bruce
england,
so
I'm
gonna
allow
you
to
talk
bruce.
P
Okay
hi,
do
you
hear
me?
Okay,
yep
great
okay,
good
evening,
all
right,
I
am
bruce
england
speaking
for
mountain
view,
coalition
for
sustainable
planning
and
green
spaces.
Mountain
view
got
a
few
comments
here
and
a
question.
Mr
anderson
met
with
us
back
in
february,
which
was
great.
We
got
to
ask
a
lot
of
questions
and
we
appreciate
his
participating
to
get
that
sort
of
public
interaction,
at
least
for
our
groups.
The
question
I
have
before
the
comments
is
about
ev
charging.
P
I
didn't
see
anything
in
the
staff
report
and
I
didn't
look
at
the
other
materials,
so
maybe
it's
in
there
I'm
just
not
aware
of
it,
but
some
sort
of
facilities
for
tenants
being
able
to
do
ev
charging
on
site.
That
would
be
interesting
to
know
and
then
going
to
comments
with
the
landscaping.
We
probably
brought
this
up
with
him,
but
native
drought,
tolerant
climate,
resilient
pollinator-friendly
landscaping
as
much
as
possible
around
the
area.
P
There
would
be
wonderful
and
then
to
echo
what
commissioner
yen
was
talking
about
with
infrastructure
beyond
the
perimeter
of
the
project,
which
is
more
the
city
realm.
The
california
escuela
shoreline
project
is
actually
unscheduled
in
the
cip
documentation,
so
it's
not
active,
and
yet
it
was
a
very
hot
topic.
P
Somehow
it
seems
to
us
that
having
the
ces
project
activated
such
that
when
these
opportunities
come
along,
that
we
really
can
improve
the
bicycle
pedestrian
experience
through
there,
it's
not
ideal
as
it
is,
and
then
lastly,
mr
anderson
made
the
comment
about
elevators
going
up
to
the
upper
deck.
P
That's
fine,
but
we're
interested
in
seeing
active
design
in
new
projects
where
stair
walking
is
emphasized
over
elevators,
so
I
assumed
that
there
would
be
both,
but
that
if
the
stairway
is
clearly
located
and
is
emphasized
over
the
elevator
to
encourage
people
to
use
that
that
way
of
getting
up
and
down
that
would
be
better.
Thank
you.
C
Yes,
the
next
speaker
is
daniel
hulse
and
I
apologize.
It
looks
like
having
a
an
issue
with
the
timer,
so
hopefully
that
will
resolve
but
daniel
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
allow
you
to
talk.
K
Yeah,
so
I
I'm
just
here
to
voice
my
support
for
the
approval
of
the
project.
I
think
we
need
to
build
more
homes
here.
In
mountain
view,
this
gives
us
300
of
them
more
than
300
of
them,
which
is
you
know,
a
big
deal
and,
at
you
know,
very
little
expense
to
existing
tenants
or
facilities
over
there.
So
this
is
a
really
good
project
and
it's
really
good
place
to
be
building.
K
You
know
it's
near
the
caltrain
near
the
caltrain
station
plus,
you
know
a
personal
interest
to
me.
It's
near
moffett
field
and
the
the
bike
trail.
So
really
this
is.
This
is
exactly
the
the
kind
of
project
that
we
should
be
approving,
so
just
voicing
my
support.
A
Thank
you,
and
just
for
for
attendees
just
to
clarification,
we're
still
discussing
the
small
project
at
601
escuela,
not
the
one
at
555
west
middle
field.
At
this
point,
so
any
of
the
speakers
is
white
hill.
A
So
in
this
section
we
we
do
epc,
deliberation
and
action.
If
any
other
fob
questions,
I
guess
mrs
gunn
can
you.
I
guess
I
was
a
little
surprised
by
mr
england's
comment
that
the
escuela
california
study
is
actually
is
that
you
mentioned
earlier
that
this
would
be
tied
into
this,
and
I
think
ellen
you
mentioned
as
well,
with
the
funding
the
some
funding
for
this
go
towards
that
project
or
or
what
I
was.
I
guess
I
had
to.
A
Q
J
Yeah
we
will
follow
up
with
the
epc
on
the
specific
cip
project,
but
in
response
to
commissioner
ying
we
will
look
at
additional
possibility
for
bulbs
out.
J
So
chair
cranston,
we
will
follow
up
with
you
regarding
this
specific
cip
project.
A
O
So
the
project
itself
on
its
project,
frontage,
is
responsible
for
those
improvements
and
any
improvements
off-site
so
anything
across
the
street
or
any
other
area
of
the
cip
or
study
area
are,
is
not
the
responsibility
of
a
project,
so
they
are
only
responsible
for
their
project.
Frontage
improvements.
E
Just
one
quick
question
on
the
staff
report
and
the
tdm
management
is
that
for
the
life
of
the
project,
the
the
on-site
coordinator
for
for
alternative
transit.
E
G
That
all
the
time
it's
in
general,
it
seems
like
a
very
positive
project.
It
makes
sense
the
the
changes
make
sense
to
me,
given
its
location
and
its
usage,
so
I'm
feeling
generally
positive
towards
it.
I'm
I'm
hoping
also
that
it
can
jump
start
some
activity
there.
There
already
is
a
lot
of
mixed
use
and
commercial
uses,
and
it
this
may
be
able
to
add
a
little
bit
of
housing,
some
density
to
the
area
and
still
stay
in
scale.
G
So
I
appreciate
a
lot
of
what
mr
anderson
had
said
and
working
with
staff
together.
It
feels
like
they've
come
up
with
a
pretty
good
project
here
I
will
add
one
little
thing
and
I
know
it's
again
out
of
it's
a
little
bit
detailed
and
that's
just
the
architecture.
I
know
there
were
some
considerations
that
the
drc
had
put
in
and
it's
not
in
there.
G
I
didn't
get
to
see
what
those
considerations
were,
but
I
was
just
going
to
comment
that
on
the
single
family
side,
which
is
not
on
escuela,
nor
is
it
on
latham,
it's
to
the
side.
It
sort
of
feels
like
the
second
story,
is
not
tied
to
the
ground.
There's
like
a
little
bit
of
awkwardness
in
the
relationship
of
how
that
comes
down
to
the
ground,
with
the
material
usage
of
stone
for
the
piers
and
all
of
a
sudden.
G
You
get
these
white
boxes
with
the
sort
of
the
wood
colored
slats
in
between,
so
they
sort
of
like
float
above
stilts.
That's
all
that's
my
only
little
thing
to
put
in
there-
and
maybe
the
drc
has
already
addressed
that
other
than
that
in
general,
I'm
very
feeling
very
positive
about
the
project
and
and
and
looking
forward
to
seeing
it
if
it
all
goes
through.
I
So
I
would
just
concur
with
commissioner
yan.
I
think
this
is.
This
is
a
good
project
and
anytime
we
can
add
additional
units
in
a
neighborhood
that
needs
it
without
displacement
and
throw
in
some
affordable
housing
units
and
some
extra
trees
to
boot.
I
think
that's
a
that's
a
pretty
good
deal
and
I
really
do
appreciate
sort
of
the
extra
thought
that
the
developer
gave
to
the
privacy
of
the
folks
living
around.
That's
always
a
that's
always
a
good
thing,
so
I'm
happy
we're
going
to
get
to
vote
on
this
tonight.
A
From
commissioners,
just
chime
in
one
thing
just
for
future
reference
staff-
I
appreciate
mr
england
wanting
everybody
to
walk,
but
with
somebody
has
bad
knees,
I
like
the
elevator,
so
please
don't
pick
that
away.
I
am
assuming
that,
since
I
believe
fire
code
does
require
steer
access
to
all
floors,
I
think
it
may
just
be
more
how
easy
it
is
to
get
into
the
stairs
as
opposed
to
making
them
inviting,
as
opposed
to
whether
there's
stairs
or
not.
A
So
I'm
hoping
that's,
that's
that's
the
case
that
it's
they're,
not
something
that
looks
like
it's
only
for
fire
use,
but
their
welcoming
is
a
good
thing.
But
overall,
I
think
it's
a
good
project.
It
seems
like
it
fits,
can
fit
well
into
the
neighborhood
and
we'll
be
we'll
be
supporting
it.
H
I
I
have
my
hand
up,
I
think
it
might
be.
The
shade
might
be
a
little
disappearing
yeah.
I
I
also
am
generally
very
supportive
of
opportu
opportunities
to
add.
You
know
significant
housing
on
on
areas
where
there
is
not
significant
housing
units
available.
So
that's
a
huge
win
for
me.
One
of
the
things
that
I
did
recently
have
an
opportunity
to
appreciate
is
architecture
in
chicago
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
also
feel
just
to
you
know
throw
my
lot
in
with
commissioner
yin.
H
Is
you
know
it's
nice
to
have
something
beautiful?
If,
if
you
know
we
can
find
a
way
to
get
that
architectural
review
from
the
drc
just
clarify
that
I
think
having
something
on
a
prominent
corner
that
is
more
aesthetically
pleasing.
If
it
doesn't,
you
know,
impact
the
you
know
the
the
end
result
in
terms
of
you
know
the
delivery
of
units,
or
you
know
some
significant
delay
to
the
project.
H
Then
I
would
be
all
for
that,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
did
wanna
ask
actually
and
follow
up
on
is
the
existing
tenants.
I
I'm
wondering
this
is
a
question
for
the
applicant.
H
If
you
have
any
interest
that
has
been
expressed
from
some
of
the
current
tenants
from
the
you
know
from
the
business
side
that
are
currently
there
in
terms
of
possibly
returning
and
the
reason
I
ask
is
because
a
lot
of
these
services
and
and
businesses
do,
you
know,
have
a
special
connection
within
the
latino
community
in
mountain
view,
and
so
I
know
it
would
be.
L
Nancy
g
has
spoken
at
length
with
the
tenants
and
and,
like
I
said
earlier,
they've
been
having
a
pretty
tough
time
through
this
cohen,
so
they've
been
asking
for
half
rent
or
no
rent,
and
none
of
them
have
indicated
to
her
that
they're
they're
going
to
come
back
and
she
she
told
me
she
goes.
They
will
have
first,
they
get
first
right
of
refusal,
so
just
we'll
have
to
see
what
happens
with
the
economy
at
center
center.
But,
yes,
that
has
been
discussed
with
dinner.
H
Okay,
awesome
yeah
other
than
that.
You
know
I,
if
I
will.
I
know
I'll
try
to
see
if
I
can
get
contact
info
for
the
previous
single
family,
home
residents
used
to
live
there,
but
other
than
that.
I
am
very
appreciative
of
this
project.
E
And
I
also
will
be
voting
in
support
of
the
project.
I
think
it
swell
aligns
with,
and
the
objective
set
forth
in
the
el
camino
precise
plan,
consolidating
lots
really
being
thoughtful
about
adding
on-site
bmr
and
in
an
area
that's
close
to
transit
and
services.
To
echo
commissioner
nunez's
comment,
I
know
this
isn't
the
purview
of
epc,
but
perhaps
the
downtown
committee
or
others
really
can
start
to
look
at
as
we're
doing
more
of
these
redevelopment
projects.
E
So
you
know
that's
not
this
project
to
solve,
but
it's
come
up
before
with
the
epc
and
it's
something
that
I
I
think
our
small
business
community
really
doesn't
have
bridging
opportunities
when
these
things
happen,
even
though
they're
on
balance
great
fur
great
for
mountain
view
and
and
for
the
neighbors
who
we
will
welcome
to
our
community
when
this
project
gets
built.
So,
thank
you
for
a
thoughtful
project
and
I
look
forward
to
supporting
it
and
seeing
it
come
to
fruition.
A
Okay,
could
you
ellen,
could
you
put
that
up
so
that's
easy
for
commissioner
yen
to
read.
G
Amending
the

project
with
further
guidance
on
some
of
the
key
aspects
of
the
project.
Following
this,
the
applicant

Another
significant
change
that

report
has
been
prepared
for
the
555s
middle

project,
in
conformance
with
the
california
environmental
quality

T
U
Sure
joe
kirchoffer,
with
avalon
bay-
and
let
me
just
share
my
screen
just
a
moment-
can
people
see
that
presentation
yep
got
it
all
right?
U
Well,
like
I
said
joe
kirchhoffer
from
avalon
bay
like
to
thank
the
commission
for
the
opportunity
to
present
this
evening,
and
thanks
very
much
also
to
staff
for
all
their
hard
work
on
this
application
over
the
past
six
years.
We
are
very
excited
to
be
here
today
asking
for
your
approval
of
this
project.
Avalon
bay
is
a
long-term
property
owner
in
mountain
view,
and
our
philosophy
is
to
build
for
the
long
term.
U
We
plan
to
own
this
property
for
decades
and
our
goal,
as
with
the
goal
of
all
of
the
new
development
work
that
we
do
is
to
make
a
lasting
impression
on
the
communities
that
we
serve
and
with
this
with
this
project,
we
can
do
just
that.
Excuse
me
a
lasting
positive
improvement
to
the
communities
that
we
serve
and
we
plan
to
do
that
with
this
project.
U
U
U
The
project
provides
323
new
homes
to
the
city
of
mountain
view,
including
48,
new,
affordable
units.
This
is
a
large
number
of
homes.
It's
not
easy
to
find
space
in
mountain
view,
for
a
project
this
scale
without
tearing
something
else
down,
and
we've
been
able
to
do
that
with
this
project.
U
Not
only
that
but
48,
affordable
units
is
the
size
of
a
you
know,
medium
average
sized
non-profit,
100,
affordable
housing,
new
development,
so
this
is
a
very
meaningful
increase
in
the
city's
affordable
housing
stock.
The
affordable
units
are
spread
throughout
the
residential
buildings,
they're
on
every
floor
they're
in
both
buildings,
and
they
will
be
delivered
at
the
same
time
as
the
rest
of
the
new
homes.
U
U
In
addition
to
that,
one
of
the
very
important
primary
focuses
of
this
project
from
the
beginning
has
been.
We
will
not
displace
any
of
the
current
rent-controlled
residents.
There
are
402
homes
on
site,
everyone
that
lives
in
any
of
those
homes
is
going
to
be
able
to
stay.
The
project
won't
displace
any
housing,
any
businesses
or
any
retail
space.
U
In
order
to
do
this,
we've
had
to
develop
a
phasing
plan,
it's
been
very
detailed
and
it's
make
sure
that
the
property
can
be
operational
and
livable
at
each
stage
of
the
development.
U
Not
only
are
we
not
displacing
anyone
on
site,
but
we've
thought
about
what
the
experience
is
going
to
be
for
the
folks
who
live
there
and
we've
worked
with
the
city
to
ensure
that
there's
a
process
to
fairly
compensate
all
existing
residents
for
any
disruptions
that
may
happen
during
the
construction
phase,
we've
agreed
to
be
bound
by
a
new
program.
U
That's
been
developed
by
the
rental
housing
committee
and
as
part
of
this
program,
we
will
tailor
rent
reductions
to
each
home
on
the
site,
based
both
on
the
loss
of
services
on
the
site
and
the
home's
proximity
to
construction
activity.
That's
going
on
in
each
phase,
so
big
picture
we're
adding
new
housing,
we're
adding
new,
affordable
housing,
we're
retaining
402
precious
rent
controlled.
U
You
know,
homes
for
the
the
city's
housing
stock
and,
as
I
said
before,
this
is
exactly
the
kind
of
development
that
mountain
view
is
prioritizing,
but
the
project
does
a
lot
of
little
things
right
too,
it
does
all
the
little
things
right
as
well
we're
going
to
provide
land
for
a
new
1.3
acre
public
park
to
the
city
of
mountain
view.
This
is
a
usable
size.
It's
a
usable
new
park
land,
that's
extremely
rare.
U
In
new
mountain
view,
development
projects
we're
also
improving
connectivity
for
pedestrians
and
bikes
within
the
area
within
our
site.
Diana
mentioned
there's
going
to
be
a
pedestrian
and
bike
connection
from
middle
field
to
cypress
point
and
then
also
for
the
wider
area.
We
are
planning
ahead
for
the
future
at
moffett
boulevard.
We
are
coordinating
with
vta
in
the
city
to
build
a
new
separated
bike
lane
a
new
bus
boarding
island
to
as
diana
mentioned,
to
widen
the
sidewalk,
and
this
is
all
to
facilitate
more
non-automobile
focused
commute
patterns.
U
Speaking
of
commute
patterns,
we
also
reconfigured
the
site's
garage
layout
and
driveway
access.
We've
simplified
access
points
along
cypress
point
along
the
bottom
of
the
screen,
the
south
of
the
site
to
improve
safety
along
this
street
and
we've
moved
a
large
portion
of
the
underground
parking
from
one
of
the
early
designs
along
cypress.
Point
move
that
to
middle
field,
road
to
limit
the
number
of
cars
on
cypress
point
in
response
to
some
of
the
key
community
concerns.
U
Likewise,
the
project's
architectural
design
has
been
adjusted
based
on
feedback
from
the
drc
from
epc
and
council.
The
architectural
style
has
changed
dramatically
from
the
initial
proposal
that
staff
showed,
and
it's
now
more
contextual
and
appropriate
to
the
existing
forested
character
of
the
neighborhood.
U
We've
also
made
major
massive
modifications.
At
the
request
of
the
folks
along
cypress
point
drive,
large
chunks
of
the
building
mass
along
the
southern
edge
of
our
site
have
been
reduced
from
four
to
three
stories
you
can
see
here
on.
The
left
is
the
the
most
recent
previous
design
at
a
four-story
building
there.
This
has
been
reduced
to
three
another
view
here,
and
this
is
part
of
building
c.
U
The
project
has
also
gone
to
great
lengths
to
maintain
the
neighborhood's
forested
character
that
I
just
mentioned,
and
to
promote
an
ecologically
successful
environment
on
the
site.
For
the
coming
decades,
we've
designed
the
buildings
to
retain
the
largest
and
most
valuable
stands
of
mature
trees
on
site.
There
are,
unfortunately,
some
trees
that
could
not
be
designed
around
of
those
we're
going
to
transplant
40,
mature
heritage
trees,
and
that
will
give
our
newly
landscaped
areas
some
mature
tree
canopy
on
day.
One
we've
also
committed
that
our
new
plantings
will
be
over
75
native
species.
U
This
project
has
made
the
project
or
this
process
excuse
me
has
made
the
project
better.
A
variety
of
ways,
many
of
which
I
just
mentioned.
One
recommendation
that
was
made
by
the
epc
last
february
was
to
adjust
the
project's
general
plan
designation
to
more
closely
match
the
density
of
the
proposed
project.
We've
done
that
or
the
city
has
done
that.
U
The
revised
project
now
has
a
general
plan
designation
of
50
units
per
acre
and
the
project
has
been
reduced
by
six
units
to
fit
under
this
designation
and
that's
the
images
I
showed
earlier
of
the
the
massing
reduction
in
building
c.
That's
where
those
six
units
came
from,
and
so
in
closing
just
want
to
reiterate
this
project
is
a
model
infill
in-field,
transit-oriented
development.
It
protects
existing
rent-controlled
homes,
it
adds
new
housing
stock,
including
48
new,
affordable
homes
in
an
area
that's
appropriate
for
residential
development.
U
We
proactively
have
sought
out
community
feedback
at
every
stage
and
we've
thoughtfully
integrated
what
we've
heard
into
this
proposal.
We
now
ask
that
ebc
recommend
approval
of
our
application
to
the
city
council,
so
we
can
add
these
much
needed
new
homes
to
the
mountain
view
community,
and
we
thank
you
for
your
consideration
and
support.
A
Okay,
so
we'll
start
with
commission
questions
from
commissioners
commissioning
menus.
H
Thank
you,
chair,
cranston,
I'll
lower
my
hand,
so
I
think
there's
a
question
for
staff
and
then
I'll
kind
of
tell
that
into
the
applicant.
I
know
that
you
answered
it
in
our
questions
earlier,
but
I
guess
I'm
just
wondering
just
for
a
kind
of
verbalization
understanding.
Can
you
help
explain
a
little
bit
more
around
the
air
particulate
matter
and
some
of
the
cancer
risk
that
may
be
associated
to
that
regarding
this
project.
T
The
most
impacted
receptors
are
the
existing
units
on
the
project
site,
which
are
the
closest
receptors
redevelopment
of
an
infill
site
and
excavation
of
underground
garages,
involves
heavy
construction
equipment
and
heavy
construction
work
in
close
proximity
to
the
existing
land
uses
very
few
mountain
view.
Projects
of
the
scale
have
identified
a
significant
air
quality
impact,
mainly
because
majority
of
the
large
residential
projects
in
the
city
involve
displacement
of
the
existing
on-site
tenants,
which
are
the
closest
receptors.
T
This
impact
is
frequently
seen
in
projects
of
the
scale
and
larger
in
surrounding
communities
as
well.
The
eir
discussion
of
the
air
quality
impacts
is
complex
as
there
are
several
pollutants
that
are
discussed
together.
In
particular,
the
eir
analysis
evaluates
criteria
for
pollutants
emissions,
toxic
air,
contaminants
known
as
tses
and
particulate
matter
known
as
pm,
2.5
and
noted
in
the
eir.
T
The
bay
area,
air
quality
management
district
has
adopted
thresholds
of
significance
for
construction-related
tse
and
pm
2.5
that
are
based
upon
health
risk.
According
to
the
eir
analysis
and
modeling
with
implementation
of
identified
mitigation
measures,
the
cumulative
pm
2.5
concentrations
would
remain
above
the
bay
area,
air
quality
management,
distress
thresholds
at
the
on-site
receptor
locations.
T
The
eir
looks
into
implementing
a
lot
of
medication
measures
which
will
reduce
the
amount
of
pm
2.5
concentrations,
but
the
level
would
still
remain
above
the
threshold
and
no
additional
mitigation
measures
that
further
reduce
the
pm.
2.5
concentration
level
impacts
have
been
found
that
could
be
applied
at
the
site.
Awesome.
H
Well,
thanks
yeah,
and
the
reason
why
I
ask
is
you
know,
having
myself
actually
lived
through
my
landlord
doing
all
sorts
of
improvements
and
constructions
and
additions.
I
I
know
I
can
personally
want
to
test.
The
annoyance
of
you
know
crawling
through
scaffolding
into
my
own
home,
but
also
the
dust
can
can
be
quite
problematic
and
especially,
I
think,
as
as
you
noted,
as
staff
just
noted,
you
know,
given
that
usually
most
of
the
closest
receptors
are
in
fact
displaced
from
the
project.
H
I
am
wondering
if
there
are,
you
know
additional
steps
such
as
you
know
it
would
be
now
from
the
applicant.
I'm
wondering
you
know
what
considerations
have
you
taken
around
steps,
such
as
maintaining
a
clear
schedule
and
making
available
a
more
engaged
schedule
of
you
know,
construction
and
potential
exposure
to
not
just
the
people
who
are
on
site.
You
know
still
on
that.
You
know
still
living
in
in
that
complex,
but
maybe
even
homes
within
a
certain
foot,
radius
and
making
available
or
offering
to
them
proactive.
H
You
know
risk
mitigation
goods
such
as
n95
masks,
which
have
been
shown
to
be
very
effective
at
reducing
particulate
matter
and
or
also
even
something
such
as
a
air
filter
voucher
for
any
of
your
existing
residents
indoors.
That
can
be
used
to
further
filter
any
kind
of
particulate.
U
Sure,
since
joe
kirchhoff
for
avalon
bay,
it's
a
great
question.
First,
I
would
I
I
apologize
on
behalf
of
landlords
everywhere,
for
you
crawling
through
scaffolding.
We
we
will
not
have
anything
like
that
happening
on
this
site.
There's
you
know
as
part
of
the
the
logistics
that
are
going
to
have
to
go
into
this.
All
of
the
existing
places
where
people
are
living
are
going
to
be
fully
separated.
U
There's
going
to
be
fencing,
there's
going
to
be
pathways
on
either
side
to
make
sure
that
people
can
get
everywhere
that
they
need
to
go
at
all
times.
It's.
You
know.
It's
part
of
the
reason
that
the
project
is
phased,
the
way
it
is,
and
so
there
won't
be
anything
like
that
going
on
just
want
to
want
to
make
that
very
clear.
We
are
based
our
own.
We
act
as
our
own
general
contractor,
so
we'll
have
our
own
avalon-based
staff
on-site
every
day
during
construction
and
we'll
have
a
robust
outreach
program.
U
You
know
both
in
leading
up
to
the
construction
process
and
then
throughout
you
know,
there
will
be
folks
on
site
every
day
there
will
be
a
number
to
call
24
hours
a
day
and
we'll
have
meetings
with,
obviously
our
residents,
but
also
the
surrounding
neighbors,
so
that
everyone
knows
who
you
know
who
to
reach
out
to.
If
they
see
something,
that's
going
wrong.
U
You
know
with
the
number
of
different
subcontractors
that
come
onto
any
construction
site,
there's
always
someone
that
isn't
following
the
rules-
and
it's
often
very
helpful
for
us
to
have
some
neighbors.
We
have
some
residents,
give
us
a
call
and
say:
hey
these
guys
didn't
wash
their
tires
when
they
left
or
these
guys.
You
know,
weren't
wearing
masks,
weren't
doing
this
or
that,
and
so
it
helps
our
team,
enforce
the
rules
on
the
site
to
have
that
open
line
of
communication
as
far
as
the
actual
mitigations.
U
So
this
gets,
we
would
be
happy
to
you
know,
have
haven't
thought
about.
N95S
have
thought
a
little
bit
about
air
filter
sort
of
a
voucher
for
for
folks
to
buy
air
filters
that
gets
tied
up
a
little
bit
into
the
conversation
about
the
rent
reduction,
just
because
this
is
a
because
it's
a
rent
control
property,
the
existing
402
units.
There
is
a
process
under
the
see.
U
If
I
get
the
acronym
right
csfra,
I
believe
community
run
stabilization
act,
you
know,
so
we
would
want
to
make
sure
that
this
is
all
part
of
the
the
agreement.
That's
going
to
be
blessed
by
the
real
housing
commission
and
their
staff,
but
it's
something
we'd
be
absolutely
open
to,
and
you
know
I
think
it's
a
good,
a
good
solution.
It's
not
something
that
can
be
studied
in
an
eir,
because
you
know
my
understanding
and
you
know
I
shouldn't
speak
for
the
experts.
U
They
can
confirm
this,
but
you
know
you
can't
assume
people
are
going
to
use
their
air
conditioners
a
certain
way
or
excuse
me
air
filters
a
certain
way.
So
that's
not
something
that
would
be
studied
in
any
ir.
But
absolutely
if
there
are
folks
that
are
concerned
about
dust.
That
seems
like
a
a
good
solution
and
one
would
be
a
amenable
too.
I
Thank
you
chair.
So
a
few
questions
on
this
exact
same
topic
and
let
me
start
with
perhaps
what's
the
most
important
one:
what
is
the
additional
quantifiable
cancer
risk
from
the
exposure
that
is
delineated
in
the
arr,
so
it's
cases
per
million?
How
do
you
quantify
that
risk,
and
I
know
that
can
be
done
and
it
is
done
in
other
contexts
and
that
could
be
for
staff
it
can
be
for
the
applicant.
I
It
can
be
for
anybody,
but
there
must
be
some
kind
of
quantifiable
increase
that
pertains
to
the
the
significant
and
unmitigateable
effect
that's
listed
in
the
er.
What
is
it.
V
Good
evening,
mr
chair
members
of
the
commission,
commissioner
dempsey,
my
name
is
john
schwarz,
I'm
assisting
diana
pancholi
on
behalf
of
the
city
working
with
the
eir
consulting
team
on
this
I
can
chime
in
and
then,
if
need
be,
we
can
have
our
air
quality
expert
from
the
team
chime
in
here
on
on
specifics.
For
you,
the
certain
toxic
air
contaminants
are
measured
according
to
the
back
med
thresholds
based
on
their
ability
to
cause
additional
cancer
cases
in
the
region.
V
Certain
other
compounds
like
pm
are
not,
and
so
that's
really
the
distinction.
In
this
case,
we
are
able
to
with
the
mitigation
measures
that
are
required
in
the
eir
and
have
been
committed
to
by
the
applicant
as
well
and
will
be
conditions
of
approval.
We
can
show
that
those
cancer
risks
do
go
below
the
back
med
threshold.
V
That
impact
comes
out
to
be
quote
less
than
significant
under
sequa,
based
on
that
back
med
threshold.
Some
of
the
other
issues
like
particulate
matter,
as
diana
mentioned
those
do
not
come
down
below
the
threshold.
That's
why
that
impact
is
still
unavoidable,
but
it
is
not
the
cancer
risk
that
is
unavoidable.
V
Under
the
sequa
metrics,
if
you'd
like
to
talk
about
specifics
about
the
numbers
and
how
that
has
arrived
at
I'd,
be
happy
to
invite
jessica
from
icf
or
one
of
the
folks
from
the
air
quality
team
to
address
that
specifically.
D
Apologies
for
that
hi.
This
is
darren
trageser
from
icf,
I'm
the
air
quality
and
greenhouse
gas
specialist.
For
this
project.
Like
john
said,
with
the
mitigation
measures
that
were
proposed
in
the
air
quality
section,
we
were
able
to
show
that
there
was
a
less
significant
cancer
risk
impact
due
to
the
project
for
construction.
D
V
And
so
go
ahead.
Pardon
me,
commissioner.
I
was
just
going
to
say
again
the
back
med
uses,
then
a
threshold
of
10
additional
cancer
cases
per
million
population
as
a
metric
for
some
of
these
compounds
and
that's
what
we're
measuring
against
it's
based
on
back
meds
modeling,
which
can
be
very
conservative
and
darren,
can
talk
about
the
specifics.
If
need
be,.
I
I
I
V
You
anybody
you
want,
mr
chair
members
of
the
commission.
I
typically
the
conditions
of
approval
and
the
items
flagged
in
the
environmental
document
that
end
up
as
conditions
in
the
resolution
end
up
as
disclosures
in
the
residential
documents
for
anything
that
is
lent
or
built
or
purchased.
So
my
understanding,
and
not
let
joe
chime
in
as
to
how
this
would
actually
happen.
U
U
I
think
this
is
part
of
the
communications
about
it,
and
you
know
I
think,
in
a
much
more
lay
person
kind
of
language
we're
going
to
be
doing
construction,
we're
going
to
do
everything
we
can
and
here's
a
list
of
many
mitigation
measures,
we're
going
to
make
sure
we're
doing
to
make
sure
that
it
is
minimally
disruptive
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
noise
in
terms
of
dust,
air
quality,
everything
else
you
know,
I
don't
I
we
haven't
in
the
past.
U
You
know
gone
through
sort
of
like
brought
in
scientists
to
explain
all
of
the
all
of
the
science
behind
the
air
quality.
I
don't
understand
a
lot
of
it,
but
you
know
I
I
don't
know
if
there's
if
there's
something
that
you're
thinking
about
would
be
happy
to
to
consider
something.
I
Well,
here's
my
concern,
I
think,
you're
quite
right
that
all
this
has
been
baked
in
the
er.
The
problem
is
most
people
won't
read
that
most
people
don't
have
time
to
read
that,
like
we,
it's
it's
somewhat
on
us
to
read
that,
because
that's
part
of
what
we
do
here
right,
but
most
folks,
they're,
gonna,
read
it
right
or
if
they
do
read
it,
they're
not
gonna,
be
able
to
easily
make
sense.
I
was
even
confused
by
it
about
what
exactly
was
going
on
with
the
cancer
risk.
I
So
perhaps
my
my
my
ass
is
simply
this
and
I
have
great
faith
that
you
will
do
this
because
you're
already
working
on
kind
of
the
rebate
question.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
res
that
it
is
explained
to
the
residents
in
a
you
know
an
easy
digestible
human
to
human
way.
What
exactly
is
going
to
be
happening
from
an
environmental
standpoint
with
what
they're
going
to
be
breathing
right,
so
I
I
feel
10
times
better,
that
you've
told
me
there
is
no
additional
significant
cancer
risk.
That's
awesome!
I
I
am
a
little
concerned
that
there
is
going
to
be
some
additional
significant
health
risk
of
an
unknown
type,
because
I
don't
know
what
particular
does
to
people.
I
just
guess
that
it
screws
up
people's
asthma.
People
are
going
to
want
to
know
that
if
they
have
kids
with
asthma,
they're
really
going
to
want
to
know
that
right.
If
they're
elders
that
have
lung
problems,
they're
really
going
to
want
to
know
that,
maybe
they
got
long
covet
right.
I
I
It's
just
that
sits
very
close
to
home
for
me,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
that's
taken
very
seriously
because
otherwise
it
may
affect
some
folks
and
they
just
didn't
even
know
it
was
coming.
So
I
don't
know
if
it
gets
baked
into
the
rebate
discussion
that
you're
having
and
by
the
way
I
applaud
you.
I
applaud
you
for
setting
up
a
process
to
to
look
at.
How
can
you
do
some
sort
of
rent
rebate
to
make
up?
For
the
you
know
the
inconvenience
and
all
the
rest
of
the
problems?
I
I
was
going
to
save
that
for
my
comments
later,
but
here
I
applaud
you
for
doing
it.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
residents
are
informed
in
a
way
that
is
respectful
to
them
so
that
they
know
exactly
what
they're
getting
with
this
particular
and
then
I
think
we
can
all.
We
can
all
feel
a
little
bit
better
about
having
things
go
forward.
I
don't
think.
G
B
G
T
So
I
would
like
to
make
a
clarification
right
there.
Okay,
maybe
I
can
show
it
but
block
b
building,
which
is
at
the
intersection
of
moffett
and
cypress.
Point
drive
that
building
has
a
111
units
which
are
going
to
be
condo
mapped.
T
They
are
not
condos,
yet
they
are
going
to
be
apartment,
but
there
will
be
condo
map.
That
was
a
specific
request
from
city
council
in
an
earlier
city
study
session,
so
applicant
has
agreed
to
condo
map
them
with
an
ability
to
convert
them
into
condominium
units.
U
Yeah,
so
I
I
don't
have
the
exact
numbers,
although
I
can
find
it
in
a
minute
here,
but
it's
it's
proportional.
So
you
know
maybe
there's
a
difference
of
one
because
of
rounding,
but
it's
15
of
each
building.
G
Okay,
no
that's
good
enough!
Thank
you
and
so
well
that
miss
pancho.
Thank
you
very
much
for
explaining
that
to
me.
Typically,
what
is
the
timeline
for
the
vesting
just
out
of
curiosity
in
terms
of
planning
for
avalon?
U
That's
a
question
for
for
me
from
you
guys,
yes
sure
yeah,
so
we
we
commonly
record
a
condo
map
on
on
probably
about
half
of
the
of
the
properties
we
developed,
we're
we're
a
rental
company,
so
we're
you
know
we're
building
these
so
that
we
can
rent
them.
But
over
time
you
know,
like
I
said
we
we're
and
we're
building
for
our
own
portfolio.
So
our
plan
is
to
hold
these
long
term.
U
For
you
know,
we've
owned
this
for
eight
years
now,
we've
owned
some
other
properties
in
mountain
view
for
a
few
decades,
but
you
know
from
time
to
time.
Buildings
do
sell,
so
we
would
sell
something-
and
you
know
often
people
are
buying
it,
especially
in
a
highly
desirable
place,
like
mountain
view.
U
Folks
would
be
buying
that
building
to
convert
it
to
to
ownership
housing,
and
so,
as
we
looked
at
this
property
because
of
the
nature
of
the
new
plus
the
old
building
c
in
the
back,
was
harder
to
imagine
that
that's
going
to
be
split
out
as
a
separate
unit,
but
building
b
is,
is
a
more
natural
fit
and
you
know
I
think
it
would
be
realistic
that
at
some
point
over
the
next
few
decades
that
could
be
you
know
we
could
decide
to
sell
units
or
more
likely,
sell
it
to
a
developer.
G
G
G
But
if
it
were
ownership
they
would
have
to
disclose,
but
because
it's
rentals
they
do
not
have
to
so
in
in
looking-
and
I
know
that
for
the
eir
we're
talking
about
the
six
points
that
are
sensitive
receptors
and
that
would
be
during
the
duration
of
the
construction
and
in
my
this
is
going
to
make
me
highly
unpopular
for
even
bringing
this
up.
G
I
understand
the
reason
why
we
need
to
clear
cut
that
area
and
I
do
appreciate
very
much
that
native
plantings
would
come
back
and
in
time
there
would
be
some
some
more
buffer,
but
in
my
own
sort
of
very
brief
research,
I
was
just
looking
at
the
health
effects
of
living
so
close
to
a
major
highway
and
those
are
not
short-term.
It's
not
just
the
construction.
It's
living
next
to
the
highway
itself.
Has
some
major
health
risks.
I'm
not
going
to
pretend
I
understand
all
about
it,
but.
G
G
If
someone
were
to
say
I'm
willing
to
take
the
risk,
because
I
need
housing
and
its
20-minute
commute
versus
two
hours,
I'm
gonna
take
it,
but
if
they
don't
know
of
the
risk,
how
can
they
make
that
choice
so,
along
with
commissioner
dempsey's
sort
of
plea
to
sort
of
morally
make
this
public?
T
So,
just
to
be
very
clear,
your
your
request
is:
the
applicant
should
inform
future
apartment
renters
that
there
is
a
risk
of
living
next
to
the
highway.
G
U
Yeah,
well
I
mean
I
I
can
respond
briefly
and
then
you
know
john
schwartz
can
feel
free
to
chime
in
as
well
I
mean
I,
you
know,
I
would
take
a
couple
steps
back
in
that.
In
that
argument
we
shouldn't
be
building
new
housing,
that's
unsafe,
absolutely
and
I'm
thrilled
to
be
doing
my
job
in
the
great
state
of
california
and
in
the
bay
area,
where
we
have
prodigious
environmental
laws
to
make
sure
that
everything
we're
doing
is
extremely
safe.
And
you
know
I
don't.
U
I
don't
know
of
the
law
around
what
you
know
what
needs
to
be
disclosed
from.
You
know
from
different
sorts
of
environmental
impacts
to
homeowners
to
renters,
but
I
do
know
that
we
go
through
and
we've
just
gone
through
a
very
extensive
study
of
the
environmental
impacts,
the
environmental
nature
of
this
project.
You
know
when
we
build
things
we,
because
when,
when
you
build
new
homes
in
the
bay
area,
you're
building
near
all
sorts
of
things,
there's
highways.
There's
el
camino,
real,
there's
train
tracks.
U
We
have
air
quality
requirements,
we
have
noise
requirements
for
every
one
of
those
homes
that
we
build.
If
you
look
at
you
know,
we
have
homes
that
are
near
bart
that
have
double
you
know,
not
just
double
pane
windows,
but
two
windows
because
of
the
noise
and
bar-
and
this
is
all
part
of
the
it's
not
you
know.
I
think
we
would
do
that
anyway,
because
we
want
to
provide
a
quality
product,
but
we
don't
have
a
choice.
We
do
it
because
it's
mandated
by
building
code,
it's
mandated
by
california
tunnel
24..
U
So
you
know
I
don't.
I
don't
want
to
sort
of
downplay
the
concern
and
I
think
we,
you
know
we'd
be
happy
to
to
be
proactive.
I
you
know,
I
agree
with
commissioner
dempsey
that
we
want
to
be,
and
we
plan
to
be
communicating
with
our
residents
in
a
way
that's
respectful
to
them.
But
I
would
just
push
back
and
say
you
know
I
don't
I
don't
we're
not
planning
to
build
anything.
That's
subpar!
Anything!
That's
going
to
put
anyone
in
harm's
way.
U
This
is
it's
going
to
be
brand
new,
state-of-the-art
housing.
G
G
G
I
don't
think
mountain
view
has
an
ordinance
on
setbacks
to
major
highways
due
to
health
concerns
and
that's
something
for
a
future
topic,
and
I
don't
think
I
could
find
one
out
in
california
either,
but
there
just
have
been
so
many
studies
that
do
show
a
link
to
health
effects,
long-term
health
effects-
and
it
is
ex-
I
don't
want
to
say
exponentially-
that's
wrong.
That's
mathematical,
and
I
meant
it
not
literally
that
there
are
increased
health
effects
shown
due
to
the
proximity
of
major
highways.
And
it's
you
know
that's
just
this.
G
The
state
of
where
we
are
there
are
lots
of
things
we
can't
build
risk-free.
I
understand
that
so
in
my
mind
I
was
just
thinking
you
know
we
don't
have
things
in
place
already,
so
it's
just
sort
of
a
plea
to
you
guys
that,
just
as
you
would
do
for
the
renters
currently
there
you
would
do
for
the
future
renters
and
yeah.
There's
there's
no
policy
in
place
that
is
going
to
enforce
this.
G
U
I
mean
we'll
be
putting
in
extensive
air
filtration,
which
is
the
most
important
way
to
prevent
it.
So
you
know
I
don't
have
the
the
merv
raiding
at
my
fingertips,
but
you
know:
that's
that's
part
of
the
way
we
protect
people
is
all
the
air
that's
coming
in,
and
this
is
the
bay
area,
air
quality
management
district.
All
the
others
coming
into
a
new
building,
that's
built
within
x,
feet
of
a
of
a
source
of
pollution,
is
going
to
have
to
have
these
minimum
air
filtration
methods.
U
So
everything
that
comes
out
of
the
vent
is
going
to
be.
You
know,
is
going
to
be
treated.
A
A
V
Mr
chair
and
commissioner
yen,
if
I
might
just
add
a
quick
clarification
on
top
of
those
those
very
valid
questions
and
comments,
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
a
point
for
the
group
just
to
try
to
minimize
any
confusion
among
the
audience.
V
If
I
can,
the
the
impact
that
we're
talking
about
with
the
particulate
matter
is
really
a
function
of
excavating
for
the
underground
parking
and
the
duration
of
the
project,
construction,
which
is
a
function
of
trying
to
preserve
the
existing
units
on
the
site.
So
that
is
a
bit
unique.
We
do
run
into
this
in
other
cities
and
other
projects
where
we
do
have
impacts
associated
with
that
general
dust
and
disturbance,
absolutely
a
normal,
a
normal
issue.
V
That
is
is
different
than
the
impacts
if
there
are
some
from
living
next
to
state
route
85-
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out-
the
air
emissions
resulting
from
85.
First
of
all,
there
are
not
a
lot
of
heavy
trucks,
not
a
lot
of
diesel.
Trucks
are
allowed
on
85
on
most
segments
of
85.,
so
this
is
not
the
same
as
living
alongside
880
in
downtown
oakland,
for
example.
So
I
just
wanted
to
point
out.
There
is
a
difference,
absolutely
a
valid
concern.
V
We
have
tried
to
address
that
in
the
environmental
documentation,
but
certainly
an
important
consideration
for
you
all
tonight.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
distinction
between
what
we're
saying
is
a
significant
impact
under
sequa.
This
particular
matter
is,
is
not
being
is
not
from
the
freeway
necessarily
it's
from
the
site,
excavation
and
the
heavy
equipment
work,
and
I
see
darren
nodding.
Thank
you.
G
Yes,
sorry,
I
didn't
want
to
confuse
that.
Thank
you
for
that
clarification.
F
Thank
you,
chair
dempsey,
so
I
have
a
quick
question
and
this
is
an
interesting
topic
as
well,
because
we're
all
concerned
about
the
potential
residents
that
we
have
this
year
mountain
view
as
well
as
current
ones,
that
we
have,
and
we
appreciate
your
help
in
trying
to
meet
all
these
requests
throughout
the
years
for
making
this
project
to
put
where
it's
at
now
feasible.
F
So
my
question
is,
and
it's
a
simple
one,
just
like
you
have
precautions
that
you
take
for
the
residents
and
future
residents
in
terms
of
notices
of
potential
harms,
because
you
are
your
own
contractor.
You
also
do
that
with
your
own
guys,
who
are
working
and
women
who
are
working
on
the
project
as
well.
Correct.
U
Yes,
I
mean-
I
I
I
don't
know
the
details
of
that,
but
that's
there's
extensive
osha
law
about
what
needs
to
be.
You
know
and
go
off
on
a
short
tangent.
This
is
not
relevant
to
this
project
because
we
don't
have
contaminated
soil,
but
one
of
the
recent
projects
we
did
had
contaminated
soil.
U
Everyone
who
is
out
there
working
in
the
site,
while
we're
digging
down
for
the
basement,
is
wearing
monitors
that
detect
that
contamination
and
if
we
hit
a
day
where
the
monitor
goes
off,
they're
pulled
off
and
you
know,
come
back
air,
it
all
out,
holds
it
all
down
and
start
over.
So
you
know
that's
just
an
example.
I
don't
know
all
the
details
of
this,
but
it's
absolutely
part
of
part
of
the
the
regulations
we
have
to
follow
and
and
what
we
do
as
a
matter
of
course,
in
our
business.
F
Right
so
just
following
up
on
commissioner
dempsey's
perspective
and
alex's
as
well
and
everyone
else,
if
and
when
you
do,
find
an
ability
or
and
opportunity
to
be
able
to
also
convey
that
in
simple
language
terms
to
the
current
residents
and
future
residents
through
an
individualized
letter
or
even
postings
throughout
the
campus,
in
terms
of
what's
going
on
how
this
could
affect
you
and
what
you
can
do
to
prevent
it.
F
If
you
can
do
also
that
in
a
way
that
would
be
most
helpful
and
if
there
is
an
opportunity
for
these
air
filters
or
just
in
general
n95,
that
would
be
appreciated.
But
as
long
as
you
factor
in
those
conditions,
not
just
for
your
current
team
but
for
everyone
else
affected
by
it,
then
I
think
you're
doing
your
best
to
cover
all
your
bases.
F
A
I
haven't
had
a
lot
of
success,
getting
a
good
sense
by
looking
at
the
number
of
hands
raised
as
to
how
long
people
are
going
to
speak,
but
I
see
46
attendees
and
the
number
of
hands
going
up
is
climbing
pretty
quickly
we're
gonna
do
because
whitehill
will
do
two
minutes
per
person
per
speaker
and
when
you're
ready,
if
you
can
begin
to
bring
bring
it
in
so
with
any.
The
question
is:
would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comment
on
this
item?
A
C
Yes,
we
do
have
numerous
attendees
wishing
to
speak.
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
share
my
screen
really
quickly
and
I'm
gonna
share
a
different
timer,
since
the
last
one
was
being
a
bit
problematic.
Okay,
so
david
watson,
I'm
gonna,
allow
you
to
talk,
go
ahead.
W
Hi,
I'm
david
watson,
I
live
in
rex
manor.
I
I've
been
a
resident
of
I've
grown
up
here
and
I'm
happy
to
support
a
project
that
allows
more
people
to
to
live
in
in
my
city
of
mountain
view,
which
I
think
is
a
really
great
place
to
live,
and
it
helps
us
reduce
our
impact
of
vehicle
miles
traveled
to
have
more
people
living
here
to
balance
out
the
massive
number
of
jobs
that
we
also
have
here.
W
So
I
urge
the
epc
to
recommend
approval
to
the
city
council
and
that's
all
thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
P
Thank
you
yeah
several
points,
but
let's
see
if
we
can
squeeze
it
in
speaking,
bruce
england
speaking
for
mountain
view,
coalition
for
sustainable
planning
and
green
spaces
mountain
view.
Again,
we
support
this
project.
It
provides
much
needed
housing,
additional
housing
that
we
need
in
mountain
view
and
a
public
park.
So
that
looks
great.
The
design
looks
great.
We've
met
with
the
developer
team,
a
number
of
times
and
they've
been
very
accommodating,
and
we
truly
appreciate
that
we're
generally
satisfied
with
landscaping
plans,
but
we
do
worry
about
the
trees.
P
However,
we
think
that
the
developer
team
has
been
very
accommodating
and
addressing
all
the
concerns,
if
there's
any
way
of
finding
homes
for
trees
that
will
be
removed,
that
can't
be
located
on
site.
That
would
be
great
to
see
some
ongoing
collaboration
between
the
city
and
the
developers
to
do
that.
Our
organizations
are
also
doing
our
own
research
to
see
if
we
can
find
some
of
those
locations.
P
One
concern
is
access
to
the
stevens
creek
trail,
the
okay.
So
there
is
the
path
that
goes
between
the
project,
site
and
cypress
point,
but
the
trailhead
is
actually
on
central
avenue,
which
is
on
the
other
side
of
this,
of
you
know
between
cypress
point
and
central
avenue,
and
there's
no
legal
way
to
get
through
there,
except
for
the
driveways
in
the
cypress
point
communities,
and
I
think
that
should
be
at
least
acknowledged
and
hopefully
resolved
similarly
going
to
the
north
end
of
the
stevens
creek
trail
or
the
trailhead.
P

Participation
also
will
help
ensure
workers
that
build
new
housing
in
mountain
view
can
afford
housing
of
their
own
and
investing
in
a
skill
and
trained
workforce
will
create
opportunities
for
young
people
and
residents
in
our
community
to
learn
the

so
they

raise
their
families
here
and
with
that
retain
economic
benefits
for
all
in
our

and
with
that
higher
risk
to
cancer
products

be
a

Y
Hi,
can
you
guys
hear
me
yes
good
evening,
everyone,
my
name
is
roberto
guillerma
resident
of
santa
clara,
I'm
a
drywall
laptop
from
local
9144
just
being
from
the
bay
area.
I
would
like
all
projects,
big
or
small,
to
stay
union
like
this
big
investment
project.
In
mountain
view,
local
union
members
can
work
here
and
provide
for
their
families.
Developers
are
not
investing
in
skilled
labor
that
the
union
members
have.
Y
Z
Z
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much,
commissioners.
I
really
like
to
thank
the
developer
for
setting
aside
1.3
acres
of
public
park
space
that
roughly
meets
the
quimbiac
guideline
of
three
acres
per
1000
residents.
I
would
really
like
to
see
all
developments
in
mountain
view
make
such
a
commitment,
an
investment
in
the
community.
Z
Z
My
one
comment
is
with
the
city's
characterization
of
the
park
and
open
space.
I
believe
I
heard
that
the
city
said
that
there
was
3.5
acres
of
pub
public
park
and
open
space
associated
with
this
project,
taking
away
the
1.3
acres
that
leaves
2.2
acres
of
park
space.
That
to
me,
looks
like
it's
just
areas
between
buildings,
landscaping
and
I
would
be
very
cautious
and
in
fact
I
disagree
with
characterizing
landscaping
and
you
know
building
access
as
park
and
open
space.
I
I
think
this.

A
AA
Hi,
my
name
is
kelly
valen
and
I'm
a
senior
policy
manager
at
the
bay
area
council,
which
is
a
regional
public
policy
organization
representing
over
350
members
of
the
bay
area,
business
community
and
I'm
here
in
support
of
the
proposed
development
at

middle

Road.
The
project
will
build
mostly
in
housing,
including,
affordable
housing,
only
a
half
mile
from
major
regional
public
transit
lines
and
directly
adjacent
to
local
public
transit,
as
well
as
shopping
and
restaurants.
AA
In
downtown
mountain
view,
this
adaptive,
reuse
project
will
identify
an
existing
unrealized,
simple
site
to
bring
new
amenities
and
housing
to
the
city
of
mountain
view,
while
also
promoting
innovative
environmental
design
and
implementation
of
transportation.
Demand
management
features
to
reduce
peak
hour
traffic
by

for
both
new
and
existing
residents.
The
site
is
an
excellent
candidate
for
denser
development,
directly
adjacent
to
transit,
to
grow
the
supply
of
housing
and
reduce
dependence
on
cars.
It's
a
clear
example
of
sustainable,
inclusive
growth
for
future
future
generations,
and
I
encourage
you
to
support
it.
AB
Hi,
my
name
is
rs
harmon.
I
was
a
resident
in
mountain
view
for
quite
a
few
years.
I
moved
north
a
while
ago,
I'm
now
in
san
bruno,
where
I
serve
on
the
planning
commissions.
I
have
a
keen
interest
in
land
use
issues,
I'm
also
a
member
of
urban
environmentalists,
and
that
is
who
I
am
speaking
for
this
evening.
AB
As
a
member
and
supporter
our
organization
exists
to
promote
you
know,
solutions
to
the
climate
and
inequality
crises
by
getting
our
cities
and
towns
to
become
inclusive
communities
designed
around
people
rather
than
the
needs
of
the
auto
industry,
and
this
is
not
what
I
was
originally
going
to
talk
about
in
my
comment,
but
all
of
the
discussions
around
the
health
risks
of
folks
living
near
the
highway.
AB
I
really
think,
if
you're
going
to
consider
that
you
need
to
actually
balance
that
against
the
fact
that
the
people
who
are
living
there,
they
it's
not
like,
they
would
have
lived
in
some
nicer
part
of
mountain
view.
Had
they
not
lived
here,
they
would
have
lived
somewhere
like
tracy
or
morgan
hill
somewhere
out
into
the
spaces,
where
they're
more
exposed
to
wildfire
smoke
and
more
exposed
to
agriculture.
AB
So
I
I
think
you
need
to
actually
be
holistic
in
considering
these
health
issues,
so
I
hope
you
will
approve
this
without
delay
every
day
that
we
we
don't
have.
It
is
a
day
that
families
are
living
in
significantly
worse
conditions.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
AB
AC
AD
Yeah,
I'm
celine.
I
was
actually
looking
for
a
place
to
rent
a
few
months
ago
before
ending
up
next
to
rainstorm
park.
555
west
middle
field
was
one
of
the
places
I
looked
at.
It's
a
really
nice
area,
it's
fantastic
that
we're
going
to
have
this
housing
project
with
no
displacement,
and
that's
something
we
really
can't
take
for
granted.
It'll
also
help
close
the
jobs,
housing
imbalance,
it's
not
one
of
those
projects
that
needs
office
space
to
make
it
feasible.
AD
It'll
reduce
carbon
emissions
from
super
commuters
and
the
project
also
over
indexes
on
large
two
and
three
bedroom
affordable
units,
which
is
a
game
changer
for
mountain
view,
residents
that
have
a
hard
time
getting
their
family
into
an
affordable
home.
AD
I
can
say,
as
someone
who's
been
to
a
lot
of
these
meetings
for
555
west
middle
field,
the
applicant
has
really
gone
above
and
beyond
both
on
outreach
to
the
environmentalism
of
the
project,
the
design,
it's
remarkable,
how
far
and
above
they've
gone
but
beyond.
What's
required
of
them,
and,
frankly,
it's
it's
astonishing,
how
much
we've
required
of
them
the
number
of
years
this
project
has
gone
through
it
started
in
2015.
It
looks
like,
and
here
we
are
still
talking
about
it.
AD
I
think
housing
is
a
human
right.
We
can't
keep
suffocating
housing
projects
by
taking
each
project
one
of
the
time,
through
seven
years
of
this
unpredictable
two-year-old
adventure
of
red
tape
and
bureaucracy-
and
you
know
you
would
think-
maybe
we
weren't
in
a
housing
crisis
with
how
slowly
this
is
done.
It
would
be
really
sad
if
this
project
got
delayed
again.
The
net
impact
would
be
worse
for
the
environment,
with
more
people
living
further
away
from
jobs.
AE
AE
I
think
one
thing
that
the
city
commissioners
need
to
realize
and
be
aware
of
is
the
importance
of
that
urban
forest
and
the
tree
canopy.
There
have
been
decades
and
decades
of
research,
scientific
research
reports
and
studies
done
on
the
emissions
from
highways
and
the
toxic
and
cancerous
particulates
that
are
emitted
from
cars,
trucks
and
motorcycles,
such
as
on
highway
85
and
the
exposure
to
residents
and
the
importance
of
tree
canopies,
which
have
also
been
researched,
and
I
have
tons
of
references
if
you
ever
would
like
to
read
them.
AE
We
were
talking
about
cancer
risks
associated
with
airborne
exposures
via
inhalation,
the
cancer-causing
chemicals
and
exhaust
fumes,
heavy
metal
particulates
that
come
from
the
tires
and
the
brake
linings,
polyaromatic
hydrocarbons,
benzene
and
ethyl
benzene
from
gas
and
diesel
fumes.
If
they
take
down
those
trees
and
clear-cut
that
area,
it
will
take
20
to
30
years
for
those
other
species
of
trees
to
get
mature
and
large
enough
to
actually
act
as
a
protective
buffer
for
the
residents
who
live
in
the
neighborhood,
as
well
as
the
tenants
who
live
in
the
apartment
buildings.
B
C
My
apologies,
we
have
terry
rail.
AF
AF
Point
drive,
I'm
concerned
on
this
project
for
three
reasons:
number
one:
the
length
of
construction
avalon
is
proposing
a
six-year
construction
cycle
potentially
longer
with
the
staging
area
for
construction
being
on
cypress
point
drive
where
the
proposed
park
will
be
so
cypress
point
is
a
small
dead-end
street
homeowners
are
concerned
about
the
ongoing
construction,
noise,
construction
pollution,
air
quality
and
particulate
matter
in
their
homes.
We
don't
have
any
air
conditioning
in
our
condo
units
as
a
home.
Will
we
also
be
notified
about
any
health
issues?
AF
Also,
as
it's
been
talked
about
before,
we
do
have
additional
concerns
about
people
using
our
property
to
gain
access
both
to
stevens,
creek
and
downtown
mountain
view.
It
is
a
problem
now
and
we
see
with
the
number
of
units
at
the
end
of
cypress
point
drive
and
the
proposed
bike
and
pedestrian
path.
Although
it's
wonderful.
B
A
AF
AF
AG
AG
This
is
what's
going
to
happen
for
people
who
live
right
at
the
project
site
or
across
the
street
from
it
if
they
can
afford
it,
they'll
probably
move
out,
and
if
they
can't
then
they're
stuck
and
frankly,
I'm
gonna
be
stuck
there
taking
care
of
my
mom,
because
I
cannot
move
her
so
there's
a
great
environmental
and
unjust
environmental
impact
on
the
residents
that
live
there
for
the
short
term
even
worse.
For
the
long
term,
there
is
the
removal
of
the
tree
buffer
between
highway
85
and
the
end
of
the
street
at
cyprus.
AG
Point
drive
if
you've
ever
walked
there,
which
I
did
when
we
met
the
developer
last
time.
A
month
ago,
the
noise
just
the
noise,
the
amount
of
noise
that
you
will
hear
at
the
end
of
that
street
is
amazing.
It
is
so
strong.
It
is
so
loud,
let
alone
the
pollution
and
the
tire
dust
and
the
particulates
that
people
will
be
exposed
to
this
project
has
a
great
potential
but
doing
all
baking
or
putting
all
these
apartments
at
the
end
of
the
street
by
highway.
85
is
not
a
good
design
concept.
Thank
you.
AH
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes?
Yes,
all
right!
Thank
you,
chair,
cranston
epc,
commissioners,
I'm
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
livable
mountain
view.
We
noted
in
our
letter
to
you
that,
while
we
are
encouraged
that
a
significant
number
of
bedroom
apartments
will
provide
be
provided
in
this
project,
we
are
concerned
about
the
loss
of
the
tree
canopy
buffer,
around
state,
highway
85
and
the
project
health
risks
that
were
raised
in
the
eir
and
the
staff
report.
D
AI
Thank
you.
Yes,
on
behalf
of
liverpool
mountain
view,
I
echo
what
robert
cox
said
and
what
was
in
our
letter,
but
I
did
want
to
point
out
that
the
developer
was
discussing
the
idea
that
there'd
be
filtration
etc
for
the
new
buildings.
AI
But
the
point
that
we're
trying
to
make
is
that
the
old
units
are
of
an
era
without
sealed
windows
without
a
central
air
conditioning,
as
I
understand
it,
and
that
the
disclosure
simply
disclosing
to
the
residents
who
have
to
live
on
with
this
construction
going
on
under
their
windows
is
truly
useless
unless
people
are
also
assisted
with
moving
out,
if
that's
an
option
which
not
many
people
would
want,
but
some
people
may
actually
need.
Otherwise.
AI
If
you
have
infants,
if
you
have
health
conditions,
if
you
have
compromised
immune
systems,
asthma,
etc,
I
don't
believe
that
those
people
should
be
forced
to
remain
in
these
apartments
under
these
conditions
for
a
period
of
up
to
seven
years.
AI
The
point
is
is
that
if
the
developer
cannot
mitigate
these
very
real
problems,
that
the
assistance
should
be
provided
for,
those
for
whom
this
problem
would
be
absolutely
life-changing
if
their
health
is
compromised,
so
I
would
like
to
count
the
epc
to
understand
that
more
than
just
notice,
there
should
be
an
option
for
the
developer
to
help
people
and
assume
the
cost
of
relocating
it's
not
forever,
and
it
won't
be
for
everybody.
Thank
you.
AC
Yes,
good
evening,
chair
cranston,
fellow
commissioners
and
staff,
thank
you
for
giving
me
this
moment
to
speak
before
you
this
evening.
My
name
is
doug
cheshire
and
I'm
a
field
representative
for
carpenter's
local
405
here
in
santa
clara
county
and
on
behalf
of
over
7
700
members.
I
ask
that
you
stand
with
us
in
opposition
of
the
555
west
middle
field
development.
AC
AJ
AJ
I
am
renting
less
than
a
mile
from
from
this
proposal
and
am
proud,
having
moved
from
palo
alto
to
live
in
a
city
now
that
cares
about
both
current
and
future
tenants,
and
I
want
to
speak
in
strong
support
of
this
project
that
I
hope
can
be
a
model
for
future
projects.
AJ
Replacing
surface
parking
with
housing
in
places
that
are
walkable
to
transit
and
to
jobs
is
great,
and
there
are
also
infrastructure
improvements
that
will
hopefully
help
people
get
out
of
their
cars
and
reduce
some
of
these
emissions
that
we're
seeing.
AJ
We
see
it
in
the
rvs
with
people
living
on
the
street,
and
I
I
expect
once
google
gets
back
to
having
people
on
campus,
we're
to
see
it
again
with
even
more
traffic
on
the
freeway
and
more
emissions
from
the
people
sitting
in
their
cars
for
hours
to
get
home,
and
I
used
to
be
one
of
those
people
who
who
commuted
from
far
away
to
move
here,
and
I
was
fortunate
to
get
a
higher
paying
job
and
be
able
to
move
here.
But
not
everyone
is
able
to
do
that.
AJ
C
Maybe
we
can
we'll
go
to
kevin
moth,
we
can
come
back,
go
ahead,
william.
AK
Hi,
my
name
is
william
castro
and
I'm
a
member
of
carpenter,
local
405.
I
would
like
to
ask
the
city
of
mountain
view
to
require
that
the
developers
of
this
project
committed
to
only
hiring
contractors
that
provide
healthcare
coverage
to
their
construction
workers.
Construction
war
is
a
dangerous
job.
Workers
need
help
coverage
for
themselves
and
their
families.
AK
Unfortunately,
california
construction
workers
are
nearly
three
times
more
likely
to
not
have
access
to
any
health
insurance
coverage
than
other
workers
in
the
state
construction
workers
during
construction
worker
work.
During
the
heavy
rain
and
high
temperatures,
we
were
essential
workers
during
the
pandemic
with
a
short
healthcare,
and
I
asked
to
implement
labor
standard
to
this
project
before
you
approve
it.
Thank
you.
Q
Evening,
commissioners,
my
name
is
kevin
ma,
I'm
a
resident
of
the
san
antonio
neighborhood
as
a
early
20s
in
my
early
20s.
I
feel
it's
very
lucky
for
me
to
have
have
the
familiar
wealth
to
purchase
a
condo
in
this
area
as
to
re
to
beside
someone
else
presiding.
The
question
of
captive
renters
there's
a
reason
that
housing
is
so
expensive
in
this
area.
Q
Yes,
it's
priority
from
tech
industry,
but
it's
mainly
because
we
haven't
built
anything
in
the
past
decades,
I'm
living
in
a
building
built
in
the
40s
and
there's
a
if
rental
stock
is
rent
controlled
because
they're
built
before
95.
Then
we
have
a
lot
of
things
built
much
older
than
they
probably
should
have
lasted,
and
that's
partially
because
inherently
we
get
these
situations
where
it
takes
seven
years
for
a
project
like
this
to
happen
and
still
not
even
guaranteed.
Q
For
that
to
happen
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
feel
it's
very
interesting
that
this
is
a
project
that
fundamentally
does
not
displace
anyone.
That's
very
rare,
technically
not
mandated,
but
it's
usually
very
rare
in
the
past,
and
it's
also
given
a
plot
of
land
that
you
know.
Q
You
know,
cass
or
county
or
anywhere
that
will
burn
down
in
the
next
10
years,
given
how
climate
change
is
working
on
and
for
the
general
concerns
about
health,
I
feel
like
they
should
be
dressed
more
generically
in
terms
of
every
project
rather
than
on
a
project
by
project
basis,
and
I
hope
that
the
planning
commission
can
work
on
that
as
a
separate
topic.
Thank
you.
AL
I
have
been
a
tournament
carpenter
for
six
years
and
the
union
has
afforded
me
so
many
great
things
from
a
livable
wage
to
health
care
for
myself
and
my
family
and
to
retirement
going
through
an
apprenticeship
program
was
a
great
help
to
me.
I
gained
knowledge
and
the
skills
to
progress
in
my
craft.
I
would
like
to
see
the
city
of
mountain
view
require
apprenticeship
standards
to
project,
so
other
apprentices
can
have
higher
training
to
gain
knowledge,
to
build
their
skills,
to
be
professional
with
their
tools
and
build
a
stronger,
skilled
and
trained
workforce.
AL
If
mountain
view
recognizes
the
need
for
robust
local
economy
and
economic
development
is
a
priority,
I
would
like
the
commission
to
implement
a
local
hire
policy
so
that
the
citizens
of
mountain
view
can
work
in
the
city
that
they
call
home
and,
like
myself,
make
a
livable
wage
which,
in
turn
simulates
the
economy
they
live
in.
Hiring
local
also
helps
by
cutting
down
the
travel
time,
which
saves
gas
and
makes
for
a
less
environmental
impact
on
the
city.
AM
AM
We
are
all
very
aware
of
the
ongoing
need
for
housing
here
and
all
over
the
bay
area.
However,
I
feel
that
it
is
our
responsibility
as
a
community
to
not
just
push
these
projects
through
without
holding
developers
to
certain
labor
standards.
Things
like
local
hiring,
livable
wages,
employer
provided
health
care
and
apprenticeship
training
will
allow
others
in
this
community
all
the
same
opportunities
I
have
been
offered.
I
urge
you
to
hold
the
developer
to
these
standards
or
hold
back
approval
at
this
time.
I
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
AN
I'm
a
mountain
view
resident
as
well
and
my
renter,
and
I
want
to
start
by
acknowledging
the
fact
that
there
is
a
crisis
in
mountain
view
already,
and
that
is
a
housing
shortage
crisis
and
that's
because
housing
projects
are
getting
blocks
sometimes
because
they
displace
existing
tenants.
That's
not
the
case
for
this
project,
sometimes
because
they
don't
provide
back
to
the
community.
AN
This
project
is
providing
back
a
lot
and
it's
creating
a
park,
sometimes
just
because
there's
not
enough
space,
and
that's
not
the
case
for
this
project
or
budgets
get
blocked
because
there's
not
enough
affordable
units,
and
that's
not
the
case
with
this
project.
AN
The
housing
shortage
is
an
existing
crisis
and,
however,
concern
that
we
might
be
by
other
aspects
like
the
environmental
pollution
like
noise.
There
is
an
active
crisis
that
we
need
solving
now,
and
that
is
a
housing
shortage.
We
are
currently
desperate
for
more
housing.
I
please
ask
you
to
move
this
project
forward
and
help
us
solve
that
crisis
today
and,
however,
concerned
people
might
be
about
about
how
this
impacts
their
own
wealth
or
about
how
this
impacts
their
own
job
status.
AN
AO
Okay,
chairman
cranston
and
commissioners,
I'm
denley
rafferty,
a
resident
of
cypress
point
drive
right
across
from
the
proposed
project,
and
I'm
going
to
be
very
brief
and
say
that
I
don't
approve
of
it
mostly
because
of
cutting
down
the
trees
that
are
in
project
c,
because
they
do
mitigate
the
of
the
debris.
That's
in
the
air-
and
I
just
don't
know,
have
they
considered
schools
and
water
and
police
and
fire
that
will
need
to
be
enhanced.
AO
C
N
N
When
you
drive
by
there,
you
see
those
majestic
trees
and
along
85
is
going
to
affect
the
health
of
the
resident,
not
only
of
the
residents
who
are
going
to
be
living
40
feet
within
that
freeway,
but
the
residents
of
the
whole
willow
community.
I
hope
you
really.
We
have
a
chance
to
review
the
the
letters
that
have
been
sent
to
the
city
also
there.
There
is
a
a
lot
of
other
problems
with
this.
N
N
N
A
C
See
our
next
speaker
is
christine
keller
and
elsa
l
so.
AQ
I'm
christine
and
I'm
here
with
my
partner
elsa
and
we're
both
residents
at
555
west
middle
field,
and
we
are
completely
against
this
proposal
as
it
currently
stands.
I
voice
these
concerns
with
the
avalon
developers
numerous
occasions
without
them,
making
adjustments
and
just
a
few
of
our
main
concerns
are
as
residents
we
want
to
preserve
the
57
heritage
trees,
specifically
including
the
huge,
magnificent
redwoods
that
are
the
reason
and
what
drew
us
to
living
there
also
related
to
with
this.
There
are
many
scientific
and
environmental
issues
with
the
final
eir
for
this
project.
AQ
Please
review
and
detail
the
exhibit
13
written
by
halla
a
resident
who
spoke
tonight.
This
is
on
the
agenda
and
it
highlights
these
areas
of
concern
that
are
not
scientifically
environmentally
sound.
Related,
yellow
tape
has
been
put
on
several
of
these
heritage
trees
for
removal
already
and
we're
concerned
about
this.
We
ask
for
explanation
and
allow
us
time
to
petition
against
the
destruction
of
these
trees.
AQ
Also,
all
residents
at
555
that
I've
spoke
to,
I
know,
are
not
in
favor
of
a
public
park
being
added,
especially
in
the
middle
of
the
property.
If
this
be
placed
at
the
end
of
cyprus
point,
then
the
80
to
100
feet
of
heritage
trees,
currently
protecting
us
from
air,
sound
and
light
pollution
could
be
preserved
and
the
current
parking
garage
could
stay
where
it
is
and
be
expanded,
which
could
also
preserve
the
five
large
reds
near
the
pool.
AQ
Instead
of
expanding
the
pool
deck
and
adding
garage
there,
the
current
deck
is
hardly
ever
used.
Finally,
please
be
clear:
residents,
including
us,
would
be
displaced
due
to
significant
development
pollution,
which
which
will
cause
health
cancer
conditions
for
us,
causing
risk
to
current
residents,
and
the
noise
would
make
it
impossible
for
the
majority
of
us
to
work
from
home
as
we
currently
do.
AQ
We
have
old,
unsealed
windows
about
50
years
old
that
led
in
pollution
all
the
time,
including
the
summer
smoke
from
the
wildfires
and
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
withstand
this
change.
Thank
you.
So
much.
AR
Okay,
hello,
good
evening
to
the
commissioners.
AR
AR
AR
In
addition,
working
as
an
apprentice
I
gained
gave
me
access
to
a
four
year,
training
program
that
I
have
recently
completed,
and
I'm
I'm
now
a
certified
journeyman,
which
are
very
proud
of
that.
AR
Furthermore,
I
also
the
unit
also
provides
a
safe
workplace
for
constantly
implementing
implementing
safety
measurements
for
workers
and
for
the
environment.
AR
It
has
also
helped
me
find
jobs
closer
to
my
home,
so
I
have
flexibility
to
pick
up.
My
data
from
school,
which
also
allows
me,
allows
me
to
spend
more
time
with
my
family
before
becoming
a
member
of
I
struggle
finding
affordable
health
insurance
for
me
and
my
family
in
short
term.
The
carpenters
union
has
been
a
blessing
for
me
and
my
entire
family.
AR
For
this
reason,
we
should
hold
developers
to
hold
to
labor
standards
like
liable
way:
wages
for
local
workers,
employer
paid
health
benefits
and
apprenticeship
training
programs.
Thank
you.
So
much.
AS
Hi,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
yeah
yeah.
This
is
a
great
looking.
This
is
a
great
looking
project
and
I
really
wish
that
it
had
gotten
built
in
a
timely
manner
when,
when
first
proposed,
otherwise
I
would
probably
not
have
moved
out
of
the
area.
AS
I
was
living
just
on
the
edge
of
mountain
view
in
sunnyvale
and
working
in
mountain
view
for
10
years
and
got
married
and
was
basically
looking
for
exactly
this
kind
of
housing
and
and
just
didn't
find
it,
and
so
instead,
I've
moved
into
a
single
family
home
further
away
than
I
really
wanted
to
and
with
fewer
amenities
than
I
would
have
liked,
and
so,
please,
you
know
build
this,
build
other
projects
like
it.
We
need
it,
we
need
it
all.
Thank
you.
AS
B
S
S
S
But
there
are
a
lot
of
projects
around
the
entire
region
that
are
fully
entitled
and
not
getting
built
right
now,
because
that
financing
has
changed.
The
community
and
council
gets
to
decide
what's
important
and
through
a
long
community
engagement
process
that
has
resulted
in
a
number
of
changes.
You
have
a
really
fantastic
project
in
front
of
you
today,
and
so
I
fully
fully
encourage
you
to
approve
it.
S
Looking
at
some
comments,
I
think
a
couple
of
these
people
were
able
to
speak,
but
not
everybody
makiko
who's,
a
mountain
view
resident,
is
excited
to
have
more
affordable
units
in
the
neighborhood
that
are
close
to
public
transit,
rachel's,
a
mountain
view
resident
who
lives
a
few
blocks
away
strongly
supports
subsidized,
affordable
housing
in
the
neighborhood
paul
likes.
The
proposal
thinks
that
mountain
view
needs
more
home,
housing,
housing
bruce
says
the
housing
is
well
designed
and
solely
needed
for
mountain
view.
S
AT
AT
Without
the
livable
wage
that
my
career
provides,
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
live
in
the
bay
area
as
a
community.
We
should
be
holding
developers
to
the
standard
of
hiring
local
workers
and
in
order
for
workers
to
afford
to
live
locally,
they
should
be
paid
a
livable
wage
and
have
employer
provided
medical
benefits.
AT
If
these
same
developers
are
to
utilize
workers
from
state
certified
apprenticeship
programs,
then
there
is
also
a
higher
likelihood
that
this
project
will
be
finished
safely
and
of
a
higher
quality.
I
urge
you
to
hold
these
developers
to
these
labor
standards
before
allowing
projects
like
this
to
move
forward
currently
and
in
the
future.
Thank
you
for
granting
me
the
time
to
speak
tonight.
AT
AU
I'm
sorry
I'm
you
can't
hear
me
now.
C
AU
Hi,
yes,
my
name
is
harold
smith
good
evening,
commissioners,
I
am
a
resident
of
mountain
view.
I've
been
a
resident
for
the
past
six
years
here
and
it's
been
a
privilege,
and
I
I
I
just
want
to
say
I'm
a
local
member
of
9144.
AU
So
from
what
I
heard
tonight
on
the
on
the
zoom
meeting
is
that
we
have
concerns
in
regards
infrastructure.
Development
is
a
must
we
can't.
We
can't
move
away
from
it,
the
things
that
it
is
in
order
to
move
in
the
manner
that
is
conducive
to
everyone.
We
need
to
first
look
out
for
the
residents
that
have
been
there
for
years
and
the
and
the
workers
that
will
be
developing
that
will
be
assisting
in
developing
this
infrastructure.
AU
So
from
my
standpoint,
I
feel
that
number
one.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
hiring
from
you
know
signatory
general
contractors
that
will
provide
health
care
for
their
workers
due
to
we've
been
through
a
pandemic
and
that
they
can
make
the
wages
that
are
conducive
to
their
living
situations,
and
not
only
that,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
that
the
safety
of
the
surrounding
communities
are
taken
into
consideration
from
those
general
contractors.
AU
AU
I
just
want
to
say
it's
been
a
pleasure
and
an
honor
to
live
in
mountain
view.
I
grew
up
in
east
palo,
alto,
california,
and
just
we
need
to
take
all
these
things
into
consideration.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
C
Okay,
we
have
chris.
C
AV
We
can
convert
you,
okay,
my
name's
chris
perry.
I
live
across
the
street
from
five
five
five.
I'm
in
cyprus
point.
I
guess
I'm
gonna
kind
of
repeat
a
lot.
What
you
already
heard
my
concern
is
with
block
c
and
its
density
at
a
dead
end
space.
AV
I
have
great
concerns
that
cypress
point
both
the
walk
path
and
the
driveway
I'm
sorry.
The
vehicle
pathway
will
simply
be
used
as
transit
points
for
most
of
the
people
getting
to
the
trail
and
to
mountain
view,
I'm
also
kind
of
concerned
that
a
lot
of
our
buildings
are
very
old
and
when
construction
happens,
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
seal
our
buildings
away.
Like
you
know,
we
can't
double
paint
it.
AV
It
would
be
nice
if
we
could
give
avalon
bay
the
flexibility
to
not
have
a
park
and
maybe
spread
out
the
density
in
block
c
a
little
bit,
so
it's
not
so
heavily
tilted
to
the
end
of
the
street.
Maybe
this
added
flexibility
will
allow
them
to
reduce
construction,
maybe
spread
out
where
the
parking
is.
AV
AW
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
okay,
good
chairman
cranston
and
commissioners,
I
want
to
say
that
I
hope
you
will
recommend
a
modified
proposal
for
what
avalon
plans
to
do,
and
I
urge
you
to
save
the
tree
canopy
in
block
c,
because
it
will
keep
air
pollution
control
levels
where
they
are
now
a
healthier
level.
If
you
allow
them
to
remove
the
tree
canopy,
which
they
indicate
they
will
do,
you
will
have
worst
air
pollution
for
all
the
residents
who
will
have
to
live
in
block
c,
and
I
don't
want
that
to
happen.
AW
AP
C
AP
AP
My
first
concern
is
that
there
will
be
displacement
because
of
the
pollution
and
I
from
the
construction-
and
I
am
worried
about
how
the
the
warnings
are
communicated
to
current
residents
because
I
feel
like
it
is
hard
to
communicate
and
some
people
might
not
be
able
to
leave,
and
I
also
just
want
avalon
to
communicate
with
the
current
residents
more
about
this
construction
project.
AP
It
would
have
been
nice
to
like
get
an
email
that
today's
event
or
like
meeting
was
happening.
I
feel
like
more
people
do
want
to
speak
out
about
this
project,
but
maybe
they
missed
the
flyer
in
the
mail,
and
so
I
just
want
there
to
be-
I
guess
yeah
more
communication
from
avalon
about
it.
So
that's
some
of
it
and
another
concern
I
have
is
about
the
trees.
I
understand
that
trees
have
to
go.
AP
AP
AX
Great,
hey
commissioners,
I'm
dylan
o'connell,
I'm
a
mountain
view
resident
living
over
on
san
antonio
road.
I
want
to
offer
my
strong
support
for
this
project
at
555,
west
middle
fields.
I
regularly
pass
by
this
site
on
my
morning,
runs
to
the
stephens
creek
trail
and
I'm
particularly
excited
for
the
project,
because
this
excellent
location
within
walking
distance
of
caltrain
on
that
trail
and
all
the
delights
of
downtown
mountain
view.
AX
AX
So,
like
many
of
you,
I'm
privileged
enough
to
live
here
already,
and
my
only
disappointment
with
this
otherwise
great
city
is
that
it
fails
to
be
inclusive
to
the
wide
range
of
people
who
would
love
to
join
us,
but
lack
those
privileges,
and
this
project
has
already
been
progressed
for
six
years
and
I'm
really
worried
that
any
future
delays
we'll
just
do
it
entirely
and
every
day
we
wait.
AX
There's
a
very
high
cost
and
we
are
currently
you
know
we're
so
much
chilled
from
those
costs,
but
the
future
residents
are
not
so
I
we
have
a
lot
of
concerns
that
apply
to
almost
any
new
construction.
I
think
we
should
keep
that
in
mind
that
it's
not
necessarily
this
or
a
better
one.
It's
this
or
nothing,
because
there's
there
aren't
many
construction
projects
that
are
nearly
as
promising
as
this
one.
So
thank
you
again
for
your
time
and
for
all
the
hard
work
you
do
on
this
planning.
Commission
thanks
thank.
B
R
Ahead
hi,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
hi?
My
name
is
ryza
singh
and
I
live
in
the
klein
park,
neighborhood
of
mountain
view.
I
urge
you
to
support
and
approve
this
project.
First
of
all,
it's
an
easy
stroll
or
bike
ride
to
rogers
deli,
who,
as
I'm
sure
you
know,
makes
the
best
donuts
in
silicon
valley,
but
more
importantly,
housing
policy
is
climate
policy
from
1990
to
2010
california
built
half
of
all
new
housing
in
the
wildland
urban
interface.
R
Our
fire
season
is
getting
progressively
worse
every
year
affecting
the
air
quality
for
every
single
person.
On
this
call
and
more
in
2020,
the
bay
area
broke
its
record
for
spare
the
air
alerts,
driven
largely
by
high
particulate
matter.
Concentrations
from
wildfires
this
project
provides
housing
in
exactly
where
it
should
be
in
close
proximity
to
jobs,
schools
and
healthcare
and
speaking
of
healthcare.
As
a
former
commuter,
I
cannot
begin
to
describe
the
deleterious
effects
that
sitting
in
a
car
for
two
to
four
hours
a
day
can
have
on
both
ones:
physical
and
mental
health.
B
AZ
AY
Mountain
view
resident,
and
I
strongly
encourage
the
commission
to
support
this
project,
it's
an
excellent
location,
close
to
jobs,
neighborhood
retail
and
transit.
I
appreciate
the
the
the
earlier
discussion
and
the
deep
concern
about
the
environmental
impacts
of
the
project.
However,
I
would
like
to
note,
although
this
is
legally
outside
the
scope
of
the
eir,
that
that
the
commission
has
not
considered
the
health
and
safety
impacts
of
commuting
multiple
hours
a
day
which
the
323
future
residents
give
or
take
of
this
project
will
no
longer
have
to
do
once
they
move
in,
and
this
will.
AY
The
environment,
this
and
other
environmental
benefits
will
continue
to
accrue
for
the
life
of
the
project,
not
just
during
construction.
It's
well
known
that
we
have
a
a
critical
shortage
of
housing
here
in
silicon
valley
and
and
this
housing
is
badly
needed.
Thank
you.
I
use
my
time.
AZ
Good
to
be
in
commissioners,
my
name
is
james
kuzmil,
I'm
a
23
year
resident
of
the
willowgate
neighborhood
right
near
where
this
project
is,
and
I
want
to
say
I
strongly
support
it.
It's
a
outstanding
project,
I'm
not
sure,
we've
seen
one
as
good
in
mountain
view
recently,
and
I
want
to
see
it
move
forward
as
quickly
as
possible.
As
previous
speakers
have
noted,
every
day
of
delay
is
another
day
that
people
don't
get
to
live
in
their
homes
and
just
to
speak
to
some
of
the
concerns
that
have
been
raised.
AZ
I
know
that
for
myself
I
I
do
not
look
forward
to
some
of
the
additional
car
traffic
that
will
be
produced
by
this
project.
I
think
it's
unfortunate
that
our
artistic
and
backward
zoning
code
means
that
we're
going
to
be
spending
huge
amounts
of
money
in
space
on
parking
for
cars
instead
of
building
more
homes
for
people
in
this
project.
AZ
That
will
go
as
far
as
the
pancake
in
the
next
earthquake,
and
so
I
look
forward
to
seeing
this
project
move
forward,
and
I
would
hope
that
you
do
everything
you
can
to
make
it
move
forward
without
any
further
delays,
so
that
we
can
invite
hundreds
of
new
people
into
our
community
as
soon
as
possible.
Thank
you.
AQ
AQ
I
wanted
to
continue
on
about
the
point
about
the
pollutants
and
why
we
would
be
this
need
to
be
displaced
by
the
project.
The
building
is
very
old
and
the
windows
aren't
sealed.
A
lot
of
people
have
talked
about
this.
They
talked
about
the
rent
rebate,
but
we
right
now
have
tons
of
amenities
which
isn't
our
main
concern,
but
those
are
going
to
go
down
to
zero,
so
I
think
a
rebate
only
accounts
for
that.
AQ
It
doesn't
account
for
the
significant
health
issues,
long-term
health
issues
that
we
would
be
faced
with
and
we're
being
faced
with
that
we
have
to
leave
if
this
goes
forward
as
it
stands,
we
we're
in
support
of
it
being
amended
greatly
in
having
additional
development,
but,
as
said
previously,
moving
the
park
would
be
a
really
important
part
of
this,
so
that
the
development
could
still
include
a
lot
of
new
housing
and
all
of
the
redwoods
that
we're
talking
about
could
actually
be
preserved
again,
just
simply
by
moving
the
park
to
where
block
c
is
currently
that
whole
80
to
100
foot
of
heritage
trees
would
be
maintained,
which
would
help
continue
to
protect
us.
AQ
As
people
have
mentioned,
it's
a
very
loud
noise
from
the
highway,
let
alone
the
air
pollutions
and
the
trees
are
right
now
protecting
us
and,
as
someone
said,
it
can
take
20
30
years
to
get
anywhere
near
the
protection
that
we
currently
have
now.
So
we
we
want
to
see
things
change
like
the
park
if
it
has
to
exist,
move
to
block
c,
keep
those
trees
right
there
in
the
park.
AQ
That
will
be
such
a
beautiful
thing
for
all
of
mountain
view,
and
if
anyone
can
visit
those
there's
three
but
there's
actually
five
redwoods
by
the
pool
that
would
be
destroyed.
In
addition,
and
that's
where
they
want
to
put
the
parking
garage
just
keep
the
parking
garage
where
it
is.
It
currently
has
a
lot
of
tennis
and
basketball
courts
that
are
used.
AQ
We
look,
we
look
out
over
them
and
they're
used
by
so
many
community
members
every
day,
which
is
such
a
plus
just
advance
that
into
a
deeper
parking
garage
and
keep
the
red
roots
instead
of
expanding
the
pool
deck
that
we
don't
need,
no
one's
hardly
ever
using
it.
So
we
just
really
want
to
highlight
our
concern
for
our
health
and
our
concern
for
these
trees
that
are
protecting
to
mitigate
health
risks
that
are
already
at
play.
We
really
thank
you
all
so
much.
A
So,
let's
open
it
up
for
deliberation
by
the
commissioners,
we'd
like
to
talk
first.
E
Sure
I'm
happy
to
kick
things
off
first,
I
just
want
to
say
how
much
I
appreciate
the
strong
public
turnout
tonight.
I
think,
and
we're
fortunate
to
have
such
an
investment
community
and
really
thinking
about
the
future
of
housing
in
mountain
view,
and
I
also
want
to
applaud
the
developer
on
the
journey
that
I've
seen
unfold
with
this
project
in
particular,
and
tonight
I
I
am
eager
to
hear
the
feedback
from
the
rest
of
the
commission.
E
I
I'm
happy
to
share
some
of
the
reasons
why
I
plan
to
strongly
support
this
project,
largely
it
has
to
do
with
the
responsiveness
of
the
developer
to
address
a
lot
of
the
earlier
concerns
about
the
design
and
the
heritage
tree
locations.
E
And
this
really
is
a
prime
location
within
a
half
mile
of
transit
and
and
to
to
add
housing
without
displacing
existing
residents.
And
I
think
the
staff
report
did
an
excellent
job
on
page
nine
of
really
identifying
why
this
particular
project
aligns
with
the
objectives
set
forth
in
the
city's
general
plan
and
the
idea
of
taking
underutilized
parking
and
and
really
making
that
into
something
that
can
not
only
be
publicly
enjoyed
in
open
space
but
housing
near
your
transit
and
new
jobs
and
near
so
many
amenities.
E
I'm
really
also
excited
about
the
fact
that
the
you
know
there
are
concerns
about
the
length
of
the
development
horizon
for
the
phasing.
One
thing
I
don't
think
that
was
pointed
out
is
the
fact
that,
as
these
new
blocks
come
online,
so
do
the
bmr
units
and
so
the
idea
that
we're
not
waiting
until
the
very
end
of
the
project
to
have
new
bmr
units
but
to
see
them
come
on
sequentially
and
is
also
promising
to
me.
E
I
I
heard
a
lot
of
concerns
about
noise
and
I
think
one
other
point
that
maybe
wasn't
made
as
as
clearly
is
that
the
addition
of
adding
and
the
block
c
building
will
also
reduce
some
of
the
noise
mitigation
and
for
the
residents
on
cyprus
point.
So
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure
development
always
comes
at
a
cost.
E
I
grew
up
in
this
neighborhood
and
I
can
tell
you
that
a
lot
of
cypress
point
and
in
those
areas
were
former
orchards
and
there
was
an
uproar
when
all
of
those
units
went
in
and
and
now
we're
so
fortunate
to
be
able
to
walk
to
downtown
and
have
these
great
neighbors.
And
I
think
and
there's
really
a
responsibility
for
us
to
be
thinking
about
those
those
people
who
aren't
here
at
our
meeting
tonight
and
want
to
come
and
live
in
mountain
view.
E
So
I
really
want
to
hear
from
others
about
how
we
can
make
this
project
better.
But
I
do
look
forward
to
to
giving
my
support.
H
I
also
have
the
bug
so
excuse
me
yeah.
I.
I
definitely
appreciate
a
lot
of
commissioner
haymeyer's
thoughts
just
now,
and
I
also
want
to
start
off
by
acknowledging-
and
you
know
being
in
agreement
with.
I
think
commissioner
dempsey
and
commissioner
yinz,
or
the
last
statements
made
around
that
level
of
engagement
that
I
think
can
be
so
easily.
H
You
know
that
that
bare
minimum
that
can
be
done
by
developers
when
they
are
you
know
when
their
projects
are
causing
some
sort
of
disruption
to
people's
lives.
I
think
that
you
know
being
very
clear
and
more
than
anything,
being
very
human
getting
on
a
human
level
and
engaging
people.
As
you
know,
you
might
engage
your
you
know,
daughter
or
mother
if
they
were
living
in
that
you
know
in
that
situation,
I
think
that's
the
human
touch
that
I
would
really
encourage
the
developer
to
continue
as
they
proceed
throughout.
H
You
know
the
the
project,
but
as
far
as
my
thinking
on
this
project,
I
you
know
when
I
look
at
a
project,
especially
one
that
is
of
this
kind
of
magnitude
and
magnitude
relative
to
what
we've
done
in
mountain
view.
In
our
history,
there's
three
considerations
that
I'm
really
thinking
about
and
those
are
the
impacts
that
the
project
will
have
or
such
a
project
could
have
on
our
marginalized
communities.
H
The
second
is
in
what
ways
this
project
is
either
beneficial
or
responsive
to
the
cl.
The
context
of
ongoing
climate
change
that
we're
living
in
and
the
third
is:
how
does
this
project
help
assure
a
healthy
and
accessible
mountain
view
for
future
generations,
and
so
on
that,
first,
you
know
kind
of
topic.
I
do
think
a
lot
about
number
one:
the
displacement
having
been
very
heavily
engaged
and
involved
in
a
lot
of
the
displacement
projects
going
back
to
2017.
H
You
know
it's.
It
is
definitely
refreshing
from
my
perspective,
knowing
that
there's
not
a
significant
investment
of
you
know,
lining
up
residents
going
through
these
trail
proceedings
and
and
having
to
go
through
that
arduous
process
of
explaining
to
people.
You
know
what
development
means
for
for
their
lives
and
and
watching
them
in
real
time
have
to
make
choices
around
that.
So
that's
one
thing
that
I'm
very
much
appreciative
of
I'm
also
very
much
appreciative
of
the
applicant
not
only
being
open
to
well
definitely
being
open
to.
H
H
I
think
that
you
know
the
voters
of
mountain
view
were
wise
in
putting
up
such
a
body
so
that
you
know
we
would
have
a
more
direct
and
and
and
able
channel
to
address
these
concerns
on
the
ground
level,
and
then
I,
I
guess
for
the
applicant,
I
do
have
one
question:
were
you
ever
contacted,
and
I
know
this
project
has
been
going
on
for
a
long
time?
Were
you
ever
contacted
by
anyone
from
labor
around
you
know
this
project.
U
So
joe
kirchhoffer
from
avalon
bay,
I
had
a
nice
chat
with
one
of
the
commenters
yesterday
morning
and
you
know
very
amicable
and
pretty
friendly
and
and
then
I
saw
the
the
letter
you
know
didn't
bring
up
anything
about
the
the
healthcare
and
and
the
other
things,
and
then
I
I
saw
the
letter
that
they
sent
yesterday
about
five
o'clock
yesterday
evening.
So
you
know
we
we
work
with
a
lot
of
you
know
a
lot
of
union
subcontractors,
a
lot
of
union
members
around
the
bay
area.
U
You
know
so
we're
in
touch
with
a
lot
of
these
folks,
all
the
time
you
know
we're
happy
to
engage
with
them
to
see
what
can
be
done
on
some
of
these
measures.
You
know
I
don't.
I
read
the
letter
last
night,
but.
H
Time,
sorry,
prior
to
yesterday,
had
you
been
contacted
or
engaged
just
yes
or
no,
with
someone
from
labor
regarding
this
project
has
that
come
up?
Never,
no,
no
and
then
a
question
for
staff.
I
I
believe
that
we
did
get
a
letter
yesterday
january
4th
regarding
this
project,
but
you
know
for
anyone
and
staff
to
the
best
of
your
knowledge
did
labor
ever
reach
out
to
us
regarding
this
project
in
the
years
that
it
was
in
the
pipe.
T
No,
I've
been
the
project
planner
for
past
six
years
and
I
have
not
been
contacted
or
received
any
communication.
H
Okay,
cool
and
the
reason
why
I
bring
that
up
is
because,
as
someone
who
deeply
believes
that
the
reagan
revolution
in
the
1980s,
you
know
put
labor
on
the
back
foot
and
as
much
as
I
believe
in
the
need
for
a
healthy
labor
union
presence
in
america
and
the
expanse
of
organized
labor,
one
thing
that
I
would
find
to
be
very
appropriate
for
you
know
these
kinds
of
situations
is,
you
know
really
looking
at
a
broad
policy
approach
in
the
city
of
mountain
view,
that
brings
in
stakeholders
from
labor
from
development,
and
you
know,
bodies
like
the
epc
and,
like
our
city
council,
to
craft
policy
that
is
much
more
suited
to
you
know
having
projects
be,
have
this
lens
incorporated
into
a
project's
life
cycle
from
the
get-go
as
opposed
to.
H
Unfortunately,
at
this
moment
you
know
the
last
hour.
You
know
where
this
project
is
is
ideally
wrapping
up
and
I'll.
Try
to
be
more
brief,
but
you
know
the
other
point
that
I
really
want
to
touch
on.
Is
you
know-
and
this
is
probably
the
most
important
of
all
the
things
in
you
know.
My
lens
that
I
look
at
is
you
know
this
nightmare
of
climate
change
that
we're
all
living
through.
Unfortunately,
anyone
everyone
here,
you
know
in
the
last
few
years,
you
know
when
the
paradise
fire
started.
H
You
know
when
the
fires
were
going
on
just
earlier
in
in
2021
in
june.
It
was
hard
to
step
outside
and
not
feel
that
that,
as
asthma
inducing
particulate
coming
from
forest
fires,
I
mean
these
things,
reach
new
york
city,
these
plumes,
and
so
when
I'm
hearing
and
and
the
reason
why
I
bring
that
up
is
because
I
know
that
trees
are.
H
You
know,
aside
from
the
environmental
benefits
of
having
trees,
which
is
this
you
want
to
touch
on
you
know
and,
and
that
kind
of
spiritual
relationship
that
I
think
is
100
valid
and
that
is
is
meaningful
to
you
know
a
lot
of
people
and
including
myself,
you
know,
you
know
I've
loved
trees
in
my
life.
I
also
think
about
you
know
from
that
systemic
perspective.
H
What
are
the
you
know,
things
that
we
are
doing
as
a
broader
level
society,
and
what
can
we
control
as
a
community
here
to
actually
make
it
so
that
you
know
we're
not
all
having
to
breathe
in
in
a
yearly
basis?
You
know
burnt
paint
and
chemicals,
and
you
know
tree
matter
from
forest
fires
that
are,
you
know,
burning
down
the
sierras,
I'm
thinking
about
those
redwoods
about
you
know
those
trees
over
there.
H
That
are
a
lot
more
impactful
to
the
overall
ecosystem
health
that
we
live
in,
and
so
I
do
want
to
say
that
you
know
as
far
as
the
trees
go.
H
I
I
think
that
when
we
look
at
the
density
of
the
units
and
the
ability
to
provide
people
an
opportunity
to
to
live
in
a
much
more
desirable
jobs,
rich
area
that
won't
require
commuting
from
santa
cruz
to
here,
as
I
did
for
almost
a
whole
year
before
I
was
able
to
move
here,
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
far
more
beneficial
model
as
a
society
for
us
to
take
to
start
to
develop
along
those
lines,
as
opposed
to
looking
at
you
know,
kind
of
the
you
know,
project
by
project,
tree
canopy,
as
as
its
own
closed
system
which
which
we
know
it's
not
and
so
yeah.
H
I
think
that,
for
for
those
reasons
you
know,
I'm
I'm
very
much
liking
this
project,
and
I
am
also
eager
to
hear
you
know
the
thoughts
of
my
fellow
commissioners
on
these
items.
A
G
Thank
you
yeah.
I
just
as
I
was
saying
earlier
that
during
the
comment
section,
this
is
an
appropriate
time
to
say
all
the
positive
things
that
this
project
brings.
It's
it's
really
you're
clicking
and
checking
off
boxes
on
like
major
points
and
I'm
not
going
to
belabor
all
those
points.
We
know
them
all
and
I'm
a
big
proponent
of
that.
G
So
I
I
feel,
like
there's
tons
of
great
things
about
this
project
and
so
you're,
like
I
said,
you're
hitting
so
many
you're
like
99
of
the
way
there
and
what
I
brought
up
was
like
that
last
one
percent
and
what
commissioner
dempsey
had
said
was
you
know
spot
on
for
what
I
was
going
to
say,
and
I
just
tacked
on
an
extra
bit,
because
I'm
not
saying
that
we
shouldn't
do
this
project
because
of
one
little
thing.
What
I'm
saying
is
we
shouldn't
ignore
those
things?
I
think
we
should
address
them.
G
I
think
if
we
have
a
continued
conversation
with,
I
think
transparency
is
paramount
and
that
you
continue
to
have
the
conversations
with
the
neighborhood
with
the
neighbors,
with
those
who
are
going
to
remain
and
find
out
truly,
like
commissioner
nunez
had
mentioned
as
a
person.
What
are
they
going
to
have
to
deal
with?
We
talk
about
climate
change
and
the
fires
they're
going
to
have
to
live
with
that,
plus
all
the
construction
stuff.
No
ac,
I
mean
I
have
no
ac
single
pane
windows
when
those
fires
come
my
eyes
burn.
G
G
So
and
then
the
added
comment
I
had
in
the
beginning
was
just
about
transparency
for
the
future
residents
of
those
apartments
along
highway.
85,
so
just
to
be
clear,
timeline
of
the
project
is
is
long.
I
agree,
and
I
was
surprised
when
I
saw
you
know
19.
What
am
I
sorry
20
15
is
when
it
started
so
I
was
like
wow.
This
has
taken
a
long
time,
and
so
I
I
would
like
to
see
things
go
faster
too,
but
I
am
reminded
also
with
the
dates
is
that
this
is
a
gatekeeper
project.
G
This
is
no
blame
at
all,
but
with
the
gatekeeper
project,
there
come
risks
of
things
that
have
to
be
changed
and
when
I
look
back
at
the
initial
application-
and
I
said
this
before
this
project
is
leaps
and
bounds
better
through
working
with
staff
in
the
community
to
get
where
it
is
now.
I
think
why
people
like
it
so
much
is
because
of
the
collaboration
between
all
these
entities.
G
G
We
have
limited
space
and
limited
land.
We
need
to
make
the
best
use
of
it
and
I
think,
as
a
city
we
just
we
have
high
standards,
we're
going
to
have
high
standards,
and
maybe
those
standards
were
not
known
in
2015,
and
so
a
lot
of
changes
had
to
be
made.
But
I
think
things
could
be
a
lot
more
shortened
if
you
just
come
in
assuming
very
high
standards,
a
lot
of
communication
with
the
community,
a
lot
of
transparency.
G
G
Yeah
again
without
belaboring
the
positives,
I
am
generally
very
supportive.
I
just
I
do
like
some
of
the
suggestions
that
some
people
have
made
about
continuing
the
neighborhood
meeting,
having
more
neighborhood
meetings
just
just
laying
out
what
these
hazards
are,
what
you're
doing
about
them
and
what
might
be
done
in
the
future
to
help
them
through
this
sort
of
painful
period
that
they're
going
to
have
to
go
through.
G
G
U
Yeah,
I
just
I
just
want
to
try
and
briefly
choke
her
chopper
without
my
face.
It's
not
painful
for
us,
it's
our
it's
the
way
we
do
business.
You
know
we're
going
to
continue
communicating,
obviously,
with
the
residents
that
live
on
our
property
with
the
neighbors.
You
know,
they're
everyone's
going
to
have
a
clear
idea
of
what's
coming
as
far
as
schedule,
timing,
some
of
the
other
things
we've
discussed
today
and
and
yeah.
U
We
want
to
keep
that
lines
of
those
lines
of
communication
open,
as
as
I
guess,
as
wide
as
we
can
so.
G
Yeah-
and
I
do
appreciate
that-
thank
you.
It's
just
the
added
level
of
what
commissioner
nunes
had
mentioned
and
what
some
of
the
other
advocacy
groups
have
mentioned,
which
is
to
not
only
reach
out
but
to
find
practical
ways
to
help
the
existing
residents
adjust
through
this
as
well
as
may.
I
don't
know
if
it's
going
to
be
monetary,
it's
that's
probably
the
most
useful
and
I
don't
know
what
that
looks
like
I'm
just
suggesting
that
something
happens
in
addition,
because
that's
the
one
percent
that
really,
I
think,
would
make
this
project
shine.
I
This
is
a
hard
one,
but
the
truth
is
that,
at
least
for
me,
I
don't
want
the
perfect
to
be
the
enemy
of
the
good,
and
in
this
particular
case
this
is
a
good
project,
hundreds
of
units
to
ameliorate,
a
huge
jobs,
housing
imbalance
in
the
city,
50
plus
affordable
units,
which
is
going
to
make
a
big
deal
to
a
lot
of
families.
I
I
I
think
lots
of
care
has
gone
into
what
we're
going
to
do
with
the
trees,
and
you
know
I
recognize
that
a
lot
are
still
going
to
get
cut
down
and
loss
of
any
tree
is,
you
know,
is
hard
and
the
truth
is
avalon
has
been,
I
think,
quite
responsive
and
has
done
a
lot
of
things
right.
They
really
have
and
trade-offs.
I
I
guess
are
just
part
of
the
deal-
and
I
say
this
being
mindful
that
there's
going
to
be
real
impacts
for
the
residents
and
there's
going
to
be
real
impacts
to
the
neighbors,
and
I
don't
want
sort
of
the
gravity
of
that
lost,
but
if
my
job
is
to
wave
what's
good
for
the
whole
city
and
everybody
who
works
here,
even
if
you
don't
live
here
yet,
then
I'm
I'm
going
to
support
the
project
in
doing
so,
I
would
only
ask
I
guess:
I'd
ask
two
things
that
when
community
benefit
decisions
start
being
made
later
on,
I
really
hope
that
those
community
benefits
are
done
in
in
close
communication
with
the
neighbors
and
done
hopefully
for
the
benefit
of
the
neighbors
and
not
just
spread
out
sort
of
randomly
right.
I
They
they
deserve
that
consideration.
I
also
hope
that
the
city
is
going
to
be
very,
very
much
in
communications
with
them
and
very
solicitous
of
their
well-being.
I
If
there
are
traffic
problems
on
on
cyprus-
and
I
hope
the
city
comes
running-
to
help-
if
that
turns
out
to
be
a
real
problem
as
many
fear
and
for
the
residents,
I
very
much
hope
that
those
net
all
those
residents
are
getting
given
very,
very
clear,
non-legal,
just
like
you're
talking
to
your
uncle
kind
of
guidance
and
information
about
what
exactly
the
potential
health
impacts
might
be
and
who
needs
to
worry
and
what
can
be
done
about
it.
I
think
it's
fantastic
that
they
are
gonna.
I
They're
gonna
run
a
some
kind
of
rebate
program
with
the
rental
housing
vision.
I
think
that's
exactly
the
right
thing
to
do
and
I
do
hope
they
look
at
you
know
easier,
easier,
mitigations
like
putting
a
portable
air
filter,
a
hepa
filter
or
something
in
the
unit,
or
even
looking
at
like
relatively
easy
low
hanging
fruit
like
indoor
air
quality
audits,
where
you
just
go
into
you,
the
windows
or
something
like
that
I've.
You
know,
I
recall
hearing
that
all
of
the
existing
units
are
going
to
get
upgraded
around
the
outside.
I
I
I
hope
that
you
look
at
those
for
easy
ways
to
improve
the
air
quality
inside
the
unit,
whether
it's
replacing
a
few
windows
or
double
caulking.
It
or
I
don't
know
what
I'm
not
an
expert
in
that
stuff,
but
I
really
hope
that
the
developer
will
be
in
consultation
with
all
of
the
residents
trying
to
be
creative
about
what
you
can
do
to
mitigate
those
environmental
health
hazards,
so
that
nobody
has
to
leave,
because
the
point
is
to
get
to
bring
more
people
home.
I
F
Thank
you.
When
I
looked
at
this,
this
was
my
first
meeting
on
the
epc
along
with
alex
right,
I'm
looking
at
this
project.
I'm
thinking,
hey
man.
This
is
pretty
sweet,
it's
good!
F
Now
it's
quite
exciting
and-
and
I
thank
you
for
being
a
part
of
our
community
with
the
exchange
of
ideas
and
feedback,
I'm
in
support
of
the
of
the
program-
that's
not
a
secret
in
terms
of
your
ability
to
get
the
feedback
that
we've
you
received
from
the
city.
That
is
much
appreciated.
F
I
hope
that
that
becomes
a
standard
for
projects
like
this
moving
forward,
where
we
do
have
developers
that
will
listen
to
the
community
and
that
will
look
at
it
as
something
that's
worth
investing,
not
only
just
in
the
dollars
of
cents.
Aspect
of
it,
but
also
in
the
overall
living
community
of
mountain
and
what
that
means
for
the
residents
for
the
city
and
for
future
development
relations
between
the
developer,
the
city
and
the
community.
F
U
Yeah,
I
I
yes,
I
mean
we
have.
We
have
union
subcontractors
on
every
project
we
built
in
the
bay
area,
not
100,
but
there's
a
there's,
a
portion
and
we're
open
to
bidding
to
you
know
to
any
qualified
subcontractor
that
that's
interested.
F
Right
and
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
up
so
that
everyone
who's
been
chiming
in
all
the
guys
who
have
been
calling
up
and,
and
colleagues
in
general
understand
the
process
if
they
don't
already
and
if
they
do,
I
apologize,
I
don't
mean
to
be
a
small
ass,
I'm
just
trying
to
get
clarification
for
the
record
and-
and
that's
also
because
my
father
wasn't
in
the
union
right
now-
I'm
a
product
of
the
human
benefits.
F
So
I
understand
the
frustration
and
the
hope
and
the
opportunities
that
exist
in
those
positions
for
themselves
and
their
families
in
the
community.
I
hear
what
they're
saying
and
I'm
sure
you
do
too
joe-
and
all
of
us
here
are
appreciative
of
that.
So
rest
assured
that
at
the
end
the
process
is
about
to
begin
and
everyone
will
be
able
to
apply
for
the
opportunity
to
see
if
they're
part
of
the
process.
So
having
said
that,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
and
I
look
forward
to
voting
on
in
favor
of
this
project.
B
A
Looking
at
the
different
elements
of
the
project,
the
I
I
understand
some
of
the
concerns
regarding
the
trees
along
along
85
and
that,
quite
frankly,
my
own
feeling
is
that
when
you
look
at
the
location
of
block
c,
that
will
do
far
more
to
mitigate
noise
into
the
rest
of
the
community
than
than
the
trees
themselves.
A
Do
they
don't
minimize
the
benefit
of
the
trees,
but
the
the
new
the
new
construction
is
going
to
have
to
deal
with
the
fact
that
it's
in
close
proximity
to
the
highway
it's
going
to
have
building
sound
standards
that
are
going
to
be
required
as
part
of
it,
and
so
I'm
not
actually
concerned
about
noise
in
in
block
c
from
the
highway,
because
it'll
have
to
be
built
in
from
the
very
beginning-
and
I
think
joe's
alluded
to
that-
that's
going
to
be
needed
for
them
to
even
be
able
to
rent
the
spaces
out.
A
Regarding
the
the
the
the
air
mitigation.
I
guess
this
is
kind
of
a
kind
of
a
comment
to
diana
and
persephone
we're
in
a
little
bit
of
a
unique
situation
here
and
that
it
is
csfra,
so
there'll
be
things
that
can
be
done
potentially
through
that
program,
but
we're
this
is
going
to
be
one
of
the
first.
A
What
I
call
truly
infill
kind
of
position
of
opportunities
where
we're
trying
to
build
in
the
middle
of
something
and
not
disturb
on
either
side
of
it.
I'm
very
glad
that
this
case
it's
you
know
we're
not
removing
the
rent
controlled
units,
but
this
is
actually
something
I
think
staff
is
going
to
need
to
look
at
and
how
do
you?
How
do
we
handle
this?
A
Because,
hopefully
this
isn't
the
last
project
that
comes
up
like
this,
where
there's
going
to
be
construction
in
the
middle
of
existing
units,
and
it
happens
all
the
time
up
in
the
city
I
mean
san
francisco
just
near
my
where
my
my
shop
is.
There
have
been,
you
know,
four
five,
six
story:
buildings
basically
dropped
into
a
hole
in
the
ground
in
between
other
four
or
five
story,
buildings,
and
so
there's
gonna
be
particulate
impact.
A
There's
gonna,
be
you
know
it's
the
impact
on
the
community
around
it,
and
how
do
we
do
this?
In
a
way?
That's
gonna
be
effective
going
forward.
We
can
probably
learn
some
things
from
from
other
cities
that
have
gone
through
this
and
I'm
sure
our
outside
consultants
can
point
to
other
locations
like
that.
But
it's
gonna
happen,
whether
if
we
as
we
do
infill
development.
B
A
I'd
much
rather
do
this
than
plow
down
402
units
and
start
over.
I'm
very
glad
we're
not
displacing
the
people
that
are
here,
but
it's
also
mean
something:
here's
a
opportunity
for
the
city
to
learn
from
it.
How
do
we
do
this
effectively
so
that
the
next
project
comes
along
are
the
things
that
we
need
to
consider
as
these
things
kind
of
go
forward,
so
hopefully
the
the
staff
will
will
take
this
as
an
opportunity
going
forward
to
look
at
this
as
maybe
something
we
can
learn
from
future
projects.
A
A
I
don't
minimize
the
impact
that
it's
going
to
have
in
the
neighbors
during
construction,
but
I
think
it's
you
know
the
taking
those
all
those
cars
that
would
be
driving
from
hollister
or
mount
or
morgan
hill
or
someplace,
so
much
farther
away
and
them
now
living
in
mountain
view,
is
going
to
have
a
larger
long-term
impact.
On
our
on
our.
A
And
in
the
traffic
than
than
the
the
short-term
impact
here,
so
I'd
like
to
see
us
looking
at
that
regarding
the
the
laborers,
I
kind
of
view
that
as
a
as
a
city,
council
or
broad
issue,
I'm
I'd
be
reluctant
to
do
something
that
looks
specifically
on
one
specific
project.
If
the
city
council
wants
to
look
at
whether
they
used
to
be
job
training,
programs
and
like
for
projects
going
forward,
I
feel
that
needs
to
be
something.
A
That's
looked
at
more
broadly,
as
commissioner
nunez
mentioned
not
dropped
on
a
on
a
on
a
project
at
the
last
minute,
as
this
would
be
so
there's
some
merits
on
that.
This
is
the
first
time
we've
heard
this
come
up
in
in
meetings,
but
it
doesn't
feel
like
it's
a
it's
it'd,
be
fair
to
to
put
it
on
this
project
at
the
last
minute.
So
I
overall,
I
think
it's
a
good
project.
B
A
I
would
entertain
a
motion,
mr
unions,.
A
Okay,
dana,
do
you
want
to
put
the
things
up
for
mr
means.
H
Two
recommend
the
city
council
adopt
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
mountain
view,
approving
a
general
plan
amendment
to
add
a
new
high
low
density,
residential
land
use
designation
and
make
related
tax
amendments
and
an
amendment
to
the
general
plan.
Land
use
map
for
the
property
located
at
555
west
middle
field,
road
from
medium
density,
residential
to
high
low
density,
residential
based
on
the
findings
in
the
resolution,
exhibit
two
to
the
epc
staff
report.
H
Road
based
on
the
findings
in
the
resolution,
exhibit
3
to
the
epc
staff
report
and
4
recommend
the
city
council
adopt
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
mountain
view,
approving
a
vesting
tentative
map
to
create
three
lots
with
up
to
111
condominium
units
at
555,
west
middle
field.
Road
based
on
the
findings
in
the
resolution,
exhibit
4
to
the
epc
staff
report.
A
You're
welcome:
what
hawk
can
you
call
the
roll.
A
B
A
Next
item
on
the
agenda
is
mission,
staff,
announcements
updates
requests
and
committee
reports.
No
action
will
be
taken
any
on
any
questions
raised
by
the
commission
during
this
time.
So
any
announcements.
C
Yeah,
I
do
have
a
few
announcements.
First
and
foremost,
staff
would
just
like
to
extend
a
warm
welcome
to
our
new
commissioner
commissioner
gutierrez
and
then
also
highlight
that
commissioner
clark
will
also
be
starting
at
the
next
meeting
january
19th.
So
we're
very
excited
to
have
both
of
these
new
commissioners
on
board
in
terms
of
upcoming
items.
Next
meeting
will
be
the
election
of
the
chair
and
vice
chair,
there's
currently
no
items
scheduled
for
february
2nd
and
then
on
february
16th.
A
I
I
just
had
a
couple
of
unrelated
questions.
Would
now
would
such
questions
be
in
order
now
chair
crescent,
or
should
I
wait.
A
Is
there
any
any
questions
for
ms
whitehall
commissioner
ian,
do
you
have
a
question
for.
G
Oh
not
specific
to
that,
but
just
bringing
up
the
housing
element
and
some
other
projects
coming
up.
I
just
had
a
question
about
whether
or
not
something
was
in
our
purview
to
discuss
in
the
future
and
put
on
the
agenda.
E
So
brittany
did
she
say
that
currently
there
are
no
items
scheduled
for
february
2nd,
but
we
should
keep
the
date
on
our
calendar
in
case.
Something
pops
up.
Is
that
right?
Yes,
that's
right,
okay,
and
then
the
only
item
that
I
heard
for
our
next
meeting
is
the
election
of
chair
and
vice
chair.
Yes,
thank
you.
Okay,.
A
I
Thank
you
chairman.
I
had
a
couple
of
whether
you
call
them
requests
for
staff
or
merely
maybe
ideas
for
all
of
us
to
consider
for
the
for
the
new
year
coming
coming
for
all
of
us.
The
first
would
be
to
ask
staff.
It
would
be
possible
to
get
a
very
brief
report
at
the
beginning
of
of
every
hearing
on
actions
that
the
city
council
has
taken
on
recommendations
and
votes
that
we
have
made
and
forwarded
to
them.
I
I,
in
an
ideal
world
I'd,
be
able
to
catch
every
city,
council,
meeting
and
I'd
know
already
what
happened,
but
for
those
for
the
times
that
I
can't
or
for
the
rest
of
us.
I
think
it
would
actually
be
really
useful
just
to
hear
a
very
quick
report
about
what
the
council
did
with
any
particular
item
that
we
sent
forward
to
them
with
recommendations
that,
just,
I
think,
it'd
be
good
feedback
for
us.
So
that
was
one
thing
I
was.
I
would,
I
would
recommend
to
the
committee.
I
Additionally,
my
hope
is
sometime
this
year
if
we
could
get
a
study
session
first
on
how
permitting
works.
This
is
something
that
I
don't
know.
A
ton
about,
since
I
don't
come
from
a
planning
background,
but
I
think
some
kind
of
101
at
some
point
over
the
over
the
course
of
this
year
to
teach
some
of
us
newer
members
a
little
bit
more
about
how
the
city
approaches
planning,
I
think,
that'd
be
really
useful.
I
I
think
that'd
be
really
really
useful,
especially
since
permitting
becomes
a
big
part
of
why
it
takes
a
long
time
or
a
short
period
of
time
to
get
something
built
and
then,
finally,
at
some
point
this
year,
I
would
love
to
see
a
quick
study
session
on
how
planning
does
community
outreach
and
by
that,
what
I
mean
is
our
community.
The
way
that
we
do
community
outreach,
fully
effective
and
fully
inclusive.
I
I
say
that
you
know
we
all
know
those
little
tan
announcements
that
we
get
in
the
we
get
in
the
mail
of
something
750
feet
away.
I
don't
know
how
often
we
offer
those
in
languages
other
than
english.
That's
an
important
question.
Those
notices
are
often
written
kind
of
in
legalese
which
can
be
off-putting
for
a
lot
of
folks
and
they
lead
people
to
crumple
them
up
and
throw
them
away.
I
So
I
think
just
putting
a
little
bit
of
time
into
is
our
community
outreach
as
inclusive
and
encouraging,
as
it
could
be,
don't
know,
but
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
talk
about
it.
So
that's
one
last
idea
for
at
some
point
over
the
course
of
this
year.
Coming
up.
That's
it!
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
A
In
the
spirit
of
one
of
the
the
kind
of
feedback
from
council
that
we
should,
when
we
do
these
kind
of
things,
we
should
kind
of
get
some
like
informal
vote
with
members.
Would
other
members
of
the
commission
be
interested
in
feedback
on
on
a
council
action
on
things?
We
propose
other
just
kind
of
a
script
strophol.
Would
that
be
something
that
folks
would
be
supportive
of
yeah.
A
H
A
thought
on
that
is
there:
is
there
like
a
epc
retreat
or
like
day,
or
something
like
that,
where
that
might
also
be
able
to.
A
Kind
of
come
here
for
for
brittany
or
stephanie-
I
know
staff
has
done
kind
of
one-on-ones
with
with
members
I
mean
in
this
case,
if
there's
three
people
who
would
be
interested
or
something-
maybe
that's
just
more
of
an
informal
zoom
or
we
don't
do
face
to
face
yet,
but
to
kind
of
walk
through
that,
if
that's
an
option
as
well,
maybe
that
would
be
rather
than
a
formal,
formal
study
session.
A
I
I've
done
something
like
that
with
people
in
the
housing
department
and
understanding
how
bmr
units
are
assigned-
and
I
found
that
very
useful,
but
it
was.
It
was
an
informal
session
rather
than
a
formal
session,
so.
O
O
I
know
that's
been
helpful
to
some
people,
but
I
think
at
this
point
eric
was
just
really
trying
to
get
a
pulse
as
to
how
many
of
the
commissioners
would
be
interested
in
that
and
then
try
to
formulate
a
you
know,
a
strategy
to
to
address
the
request.
A
E
A
And
then
on
the
community
outreach
process,
an
interest
in
that.
B
A
Folks
are
are
raising
their
hands,
so
how
do
we
educate
the
new
folks.
H
Well,
the
reason
why
I'm
sorry,
to
the
reason
why
I'm
very
interested
in
that
is
because
I
I
know
that
you
know
in
like
with
the
last
item,
for
example,
you
know
this
has
been
going
on
for
years,
yet
people
still
are
like
hey.
You
know
we
didn't
hear
about
her,
we
didn't
so
there
has
to
be
some
gaps
that
I
think
would
be
good
to
explore
or
try
and
identify.
So
I
I
think
the
outreach
process
is
something
that
is
very
important
to
to
look
at.
F
A
Okay,
all
right,
commissioner
dempsey,
is
that
I
think
we've
got
okay
back
there
on
that.
I
G
Yeah,
actually,
what
I
was
going
to
say
is
similar
along
similar
lines,
and
it
was
just
a
matter
of
getting
since
we
have
so
many
new
commissioners,
and
I
remember
when
I
first
started,
despite
understanding
the
permit
process,
it
was
still
very
different
for
single
family
residential
versus.
You
know
these
big
projects
and
there's
a
steep
learning
curve.
G
I
can
imagine-
and
I
know
you
guys
have
done
outreach
there
already
even
did
a
video
which
I
thought
was
really
cool
like
a
little
youtube
video.
I
don't
know
how
many
people
got
to
see.
That,
though,
and
I
thought
it
helped
explain
some
things
very
very
well
more
so
than
could
be
done
in
like
a
little
flyer,
I
think
I
was
talking
to
someone.
They
said
they
got
a
flyer
about
the
r3.
They
didn't
even
know
what
r3
meant
like.
What
is
that?
G
I
don't
think
most
people
even
know
what
zoning
is
and
what
that
encompasses,
and
so
I
think,
despite
all
the
efforts
the
planning
office
has
made,
you
know
singing
dancing
and
putting
on
bells
there's
a
there's
something
going
on.
There's
a
gap,
and
I
know
it's
not
our
responsibility
to
get
in
the
household
of
every
person
in
mountain
view
and
say
hey.
This
is
important,
but
maybe
it's
just
a
brainstorming
session
we
can
have.
I
know,
there's
a
brown
act
issue.
I
don't
know
if
this
falls
under
it.
G
Maybe
we
could
just
get
together
and
just
brainstorm
like
with
you
guys.
In
what
ways
could
we
maybe
yeah
be
more
effective
in
communicating
exactly
what
these
things
are
and
why
it's
important
and
what
consequences
may
occur
without
stating
or
instilling
fear
in
people
just
kind
of
laying
it
out?
I
don't
know
how
to
do
that,
and
so
I'm
just
putting
it
out
there
as
a
possibility.
A
G
A
How
to
get
people
actually
to
pay
attention
to
stuff?
It's
always
kind
of
amazing
to
me
when
somebody
says
well,
I've
never
heard
about
that,
and
I
know
that
I
saw
a
postcard
the
week
before
about
it
and
most
of
the
time
you
know,
staff
may
send
something
to
thousands
of
people
and
995
of
them
throw
it
in
the
trash
can
and
like
well.
I
was
never
told
so
I
don't
know
how
do
we,
I
don't
know,
use
neon
paper
instead
of
white
paper
or
something.
G
Sorry,
oh,
I
didn't
mean
to
interrupt.
A
And
then
I
get
a
request
from
my
side
in
at
the
end
of
2019
after
the
legislature
had
done
had
been
so
busy
passing
housing
bills
staff
brought
in
a
an
outside
council
to
kind
of
go
through
here
where
the
here
are
the
highlights
of
what
was
approved
in
the
last
year,
and
I
found
that
I
found
that
very
useful
in
2020,
the
legislature
didn't
pass
a
lot
of
housing
bills,
but
they
got
active
and
active
again
in
2021
I
sent
a
list
to
eric
of
at
least
a
dozen
bills
that
that
I
had
looked
at
and-
and
I
know
maybe,
commissioner
dempsey,
because
he
was
in
sacramento
for
a
while-
could
read
these
things
and
understand
what
the
hell
they
say.
A
But
I
don't
I
don't
read
legislature
documents
very
well,
and
so
it
would
be.
I
would
really
love
to
see
a
update
from
other,
whether
sandy
or
an
outside
council.
That
says
here
are.
The
here
are
the
major
things
that
were
passed
by
the
legislation
last
year
that
affect
land
use
that
you
know
they
may
or
may
not.
I
mean,
I
think,
sb9.
We
know
we'll
come
back
to
something
that
we're
going
to
see
specifically,
but
some
of
these
others
may
not
be
as
directly
tied
into
this.
A
They
may
affect
the
housing
element,
but
I
would
I
would
find
that
viable.
I
don't
know
what
other
commissioners
find
that
kind
of
an
update,
valuable
as
well
or
is
it
just
me?
A
E
Yeah,
I
think
repurposing
there's
some
really
good
summary
materials
that
come
out
of
the
league
of
california
cities
for
things.
I
I
guess
I
just
don't
know
who
monitors
the
state
legislation
for
staff-
and
I
am
so
empathetic
to
the
number
of
things
in
their
cue.
So
there's
things
that
we
can
repurpose
all
about
it,
and
I
have
some
materials
and
I'm
happy
to
pass
through
to
eric.
And
if
it's
valuable,
just
like
come
across
my
desk
and
have
those
go
out
in
a
brown
act,
compliant
way.
A
A
A
Okay,
then,
we
will
move
to
item
number
seven,
which
is
adjournment,
and
the
next
meeting
is
january
19th
correct
at
7
pm,
and
we
will
see
everybody
then
that
we
will
close
the
meeting
at
10
41
p.m.
