ensure
that

have
not
have
more
time
to

families
and
being

in
the
community
instead
of
spending
time
in
the
road
trying
to
make
ends
meet
I
would
like
to
as
a
community
I,
don't
really
like
her
officials.
What
are
we
doing
to
ensure
that
we're
protecting
a
Workforce?
A
A
C
C
Oh
no
problem
I
have
visited

by
Edgar
Maravilla
senior
planner
and
Rebecca
Shapiro
Deputy
zoning
administrator.
Then
questions
by
the
EPC,
followed
by
public

and
at
the
closure
of
public
comment.
The
commission
will
deliberate
and
take
action
Mr
maravio.
Would
you
go
ahead
and
begin
the
presentation?
Thank
you.

The
existing
project
Parcels
are
in
the
Terra
Bella
area,
where
project
frontages
on
San,
Rafael,
Avenue,
tarabella,
Avenue
and
Linda
Vista
Avenue.
The
site
is
immediately
surrounded
primarily
by
several
existing
industrial
uses
offices
and
research
and
development
uses
down
the
street
to
the
west
of
the
project
site
is
a
recently
approved
and
under
construction
mixed-use
multi-family
project
at
1001,
North,
Shoreline.
G
If
entitled
a
lot
line,
adjustment
will
be
processed
separately
to
reconfigure
the
project
Parcels,
as
shown
which
include
a
land
Swap
and
a
half
an
acre
land
donation
from
Public
Storage
to
Alta
housing,
allowing
for
more
affordable
units
to
be
constructed
on
the
Alta
housing
site
versus
their
original
parcel.
As
proposed,
the
public
storage
site
at
1040
terabela
would
be
located
directly
adjacent
to
Highway
101
and
the
Alta
housing,
affordable
housing
project
site
at
10,
20.,
Terra,
Bella
front
on
tarabella,
Avenue
and
San
Rafael,
Avenue
Additionally.
G
You
will
note
the
affordable
housing
site
would
be
buffered
from
Highway
101
by
the
reconfigure,
Public
Storage
site
and
project.
The
land
transfer
would
increase
the
size
of
the
affordable
housing
site
from
about
26
600
square
feet
to
45
000
square
feet,
which
is
about
a
net
gain
of
24
500
square
feet,
allowing
again
for
more
units
to
be
constructed
onto
affordable
housing
site.
G
Both
projects
have
gone
through
several
meetings,
including
applicant,
hosted
Community
meetings,
two
development
review
committee
meetings
and
reviewed
by
the
Santa
Clara
County
Airport
land
use
Commission
in
addition
to
the
project
scope
under
review
by
EPC
tonight.
The
public
storage
project
includes
a
proposed
10-year
development
agreement,
which
will
help
facilitate
development
of
their
sites
by
way
of
a
two-phase
approach.
A
recommendation
on
the
development
agreement
is
not
within
the
EPC
purview
and
the
D.A
will
be
reviewed
and
a
recommendation
made
by
the
zoning
administrator
later
this
month.
G
Both
sides
have
an
existing
General
plan,
designation
of
General
industrial
and
a
zoning
designation
of
mm
General
industrial
which
do
not
allow
residential
uses
or
industrial
developments
at
the
intensity
proposed
by
Public
Storage
to
allow
the
proposed
affordable
housing
project
at
10,
20
terabella.
The
applicants
requesting
a
general
plan
map
amendment
to
high
density
residential
to
allow
the
proposed
to
personal
storage
building
at
1040
terabella.
The
applicants
requesting
a
general
plan
tax
amendment
to
allow
an
increase
to
far
in
the
general
industrial
designation
for
development
up
to
2.5
far,
both
projects
are
requesting.
G
The
project
at
1020,
Terra
Bella,
is
a
100,
affordable
housing
project,
proposing
108
units
on
a
One
Acre
Site,
within
with
one
six-story
building
along
with
the
land
use
change.
The
project
requires
approval
of
a
planned
community
and
development
review.
Permit
and
staff
has
also
analyzed
the
project
by
way
of
an
initial
study.
Pursuant
to
the
California
Environmental
Quality
Act.
G
Project
parking
is
accommodated
in
a

G
Among
other
amenities,
the

walk
on
tarabella
Avenue,
with
a
seven
foot
detached
sidewalk
with
a
five
foot
wide
continuous
landscape
strip
with
nine
Street
trees.
The
project
would
also
replace
the
existing
five
foot
monolithic
sidewalk
on
San
Rafael
Avenue,
with
a
five
foot
detached
sidewalk
with
five
feet:
landscape
strip
with
two
Street
trees.
The
public
improvements
will
be
enhanced
by
additional
streetscape
amenities
areas
proposed
on
site,
primarily
along
the
Terra
Bella
Frontage.
G
Overall,
the
building
design
is
a
simple
modern
design,
with
a
mix
of
three
primary
materials.
Cement
panels
board
form
concrete
and
metal
vertical
siding,
decorative
metal,
awnings
and
steel.
Trellises
are
also
proposed
in
limited
location,
ground
floor
units
also
have
porch
entries
facing
Terra
Bella
Avenue.
The
updated
color
palette
is
primarily
warm
Earth,
Tone
of
almond
tan
and
brown,
with
a
bright,
copper,
color
proposed
for
awning
and
the
main
building
entrance.
G
The
project
design
has
evolved
from
the
original
gatekeeper
hearing,
based
on
Council
and
EPC
study
session
input,
DRC
and
staff
review
based
on
Final
DRC
input.
Staff
is
recommending
approval
with
minor
design
conditions,
which
is
to
finalize
the
color
palette
for
building
work
on
color
transition,
finalize
window
detail
and
ensure
landscape
design
for
off
frontages,
complement
the
building
and
provide
for
a
high
quality
pedestrian
environment.
G
Overall,
the
project
is
compliant
with
the
Project
Specific
p-district
standards,
which
take
influence
from
the
East
wisman
precise
plan
and
the
provisions
of
the
state
density
bonus
law.
The
high
density
residential
General
plan
designation
allows
80
units
per
acre
in
84
units
per
the
parcel
size.
The
project
is
proposing
108
units
with
the
24
additional
units
allowed
through
a
29
State
density
bonus
for
the
state
density,
bonus
law.
The
project
qualifies
for
four
incentives
and
concessions
and
unlimited
waivers.
The
project
request
includes
a
proposed
concession
to
reduce
parking
requirements.
G
The
project
will
provide
approximately
0.9able
parking
space
per
unit,
totaling
96
total
spaces,
which
is
nine
fewer
spaces
than
recommended
by
the
city's
parking
study.
The
reduced
parking
would
result
in
actual
cost
saving
for
the
project
and
must
be
approved
pursuant
to
the
state
density,
bonus
law.
G
Public
Storage
is
proposing
to
redevelop
their
existing
personal
storage
site,
replace
18,
replacing
18
existing
traditional
single
story,
storage
buildings
with
two
multi-story
buildings.
Building
one
is
six
stories
tall
and
building
two
would
be
four
stores.
Public
Storage
proposes
to
construct
a
project
in
two
phases,
with
the
taller
building
building
one
constructed
first.
G
The
project
site
would
be
3.8
Acres
after
the
land
donation
to
the
affordable
housing
site.
Parkings
provided
accurate
and
accessible
via
both
Linda
Vista
and
San.
Rafael
Avenue
building
1
contains
the
future
on-site
business
office
and
is
oriented
towards
Linda
Vista
Avenue
building
2
faces
San
Rafael.
Currently,
the
property
has
zero.
On-Site
treason
is
proposing
to
plant
81
new
trees.
Existing
trees
will
be
removed
along
Linda
Vista
to
construct
public
Improvement,
and
these
are
Street
trees
and
New.
Street
trees
will
be
planted
on
both
project
frontages.
G
The
existing
storage
buildings
will
be
removed
to
construct
the
project.
However,
because
of
the
two-phase
building
approach,
some
existing
storage
buildings
will
remain
in
use
on
the
property
until
Public
Storage
proceeds
with
construction
of
building
2
and
a
temporary
operation
office
will
be
placed
in
the
building
2
area.
G
Overall,
the
design
to
Modern
building
with
flat
roofs,
proposing
strong,
vertical
and
horizontal
trim
bands
around
both
buildings.
Other
building
materials
include
clear
and
spandrel
glass,
concrete
cement
wall,
material,
stucco
and
metal
panels.
Staff
and
DRC
work
with
the
applicant
since
early
study
sessions
to
incorporate
a
mural
on
building
one
along
Linda,
Vista
Avenue,
enhanced
landscape
and
tree
canopy,
and
tweak
the
design
to
fit
into
the
area
and
address
other
early
design
feedback
based
on
DRC
input.
Staffers
recommending
approval
of
the
project
with
minor
design
conditions,
as
proposed.
G
The
project
is
substantially
compliant
with
the
existing
standards
of
the
mm
Zone,
on
which
the
proposed
p
district
standards
are
modeled.
The
proposed
p
district
standard
for
the
project
include
minor
changes
to
the
front
setback
on
Linda
Vista,
allowing
18
feet
in
lieu
of
the
mm
District
standards
of
25
feet,
facilitating
the
proposed
Building
height
pursuant
to
allow
General
plan
far
and
allow
the
proposed
66
parking
spaces
in
lieu
of
the
209
spaces
required
by
the
zoning
order.
A
H
Hi
good
evening
Commissioners,
my
name
is
Andres
Friedman
and
I'm
senior
vice
president
of
development
for
Public
Storage
she's
nice,
seeing
you
I
met
some
of
you
probably
seven
years
ago
when
I
was
first
here
very
proud
of
this
project
and
where
it's
been
it's
dear
to
my
heart
and
it's
incredible,
the
architecture
we've
been
able
to
accomplish,
with
the
help
of
staff
and
and
thoughtful
partnership
without
the
housing
we
wouldn't
be
here.
So
thank
you
and
I'll
be
brief.
H
I
think
I
spoke
with
some
of
you
and
staff
did
an
incredible
job
in
their
presentation.
I
couldn't
do
it
as
good
as
they
so
I'll
I'll
just
run
quickly
through
the
presentation.
If
you
remind
next
slide,
please,
if
you've
seen
you
know
what
Public
Storage
currently
owns
in
Alta
housing
through
negotiations,
conversation
and
creative
thinking,
we
came
up
with
the
next
plan,
please
to
provide
out
the
housing.
A
more
predominant
location
along
tarabella.
H
Next
slide
please
and
provide
about
half
an
acre
to
allow
them
to
increase
the
number
of
affordable
housing
units
and
put
ourselves
in
the
back,
which
also
another
benefit.
Is
that
we're
creating
a
buffer
to
the
freeway
and,
of
course,
by
doing
that,
we're
allowing
you
know
a
much
more
meaningful
residential
project
to
take.
You
know
stronger
Presence
at
tarabella
next
slide.
This
is
the
the
site
plan.
H
The
staff
shared
with
you
a
little
bit
building
one
is
where
we're
planning
to
start
when
we
move
forward
with
the
six-story
building
and
building
two
is
in
front
of
it
is
where
the
Alta
housing
component
will
go
and
that
one
will
come
in
a
later
date
after
we
deliver
and
stabilize
phase
one
if
these
new
buildings
are
state
of
the
art,
all
climate
control,
all
inside
lookings
or
quieter
than
what
we
currently
have
there
we've
been
part
of
the
community
for
about
40
years.
So
it's
no
doubtful
that
this
is.
H
H
It's
still
a
little
bit
of
prototypical
elements
of
our
buildings,
but
if
we
go
to
the
next
one
through
significant
effort
and
study
sessions
throughout
the
last
couple
of
years
and
I
want
to
enumerate
all
the
feedback,
but
it
was
a
lot
of
feedback
good
direction.
We
come
up
next
slide,
please
with
the
following
elevations,
with
a
lot
more
articulation,
a
lot
more
materials,
a
lot
more
interesting
architecture.
We
incorporated
the
art
piece
that
we
it's
work
in
progress,
that's
just
a
placeholder.
H
We
still
need
to
develop
what
we
want,
but
this
is
building
one
phase,
one,
which
is
the
six
story,
building
next
slide.
If
this
is
a
view,
you've
seen
it
in
the
previous
presentation
from
Linda
Vista
next
slide.
This
is
a
different
view
from
a
the
freeway
overpass.
As
you
come
out,
what
you
will
see
and
the
other
one
is
that
you're
from
a
pedestrian
point
of
view.
If
you
walk
to
the
right
from
that,
rendering
is
on
the
left
hand,
you
will
find
eventually
the
Alta
housing
project
or
you
go
into
the
cool.
H
H
Next,
a
slide
please-
and
this
is
a
depiction
of
how
the
correlation
between
our
building
for
story
and
the
outer
housing,
which
is
the
white
building
to
the
left,
will
be
standing
smaller
footprint
lower
height
that
allows
the
residential
to
take
a
little
bit
precedence
for
the
residents
and
the
views
and
its
setbacks.
Next
slide,
it
was
mentioned,
I.
Think
one
of
the
most
important
elements
on
our
design
efforts
was
the
landscape
component.
H
We
currently
have
six
trees
and
not
even
in
our
property
outside,
so
we
work
with
staff
and
I
think
so
far
been
able
to
allocate
81
trees
in
the
property
which
one
fully
mature
will
provide
about.
40
canopy
half
of
them
will
be
native
to
California
as
as
discussed
so.
H
The
next
site
plan,
which
you've
seen
from
the
previous
presentation,
is
how
we're
planning
on
executing
the
landscape
and
where
it's
going
to
go
in
an
important
element,
is
the
setback
between
building
two
and
the
affordable
housing
component
between
the
two
buildings
there's
about
20
feet.
So,
apart
from
having
an
interesting
architecture
in
the
background,
there
will
be
trees
and
Landscape
that
will
buffer
and
create
a
little
bit
of
environment
for
the
residential.
H
So
that's
a
quick
snapshot.
You've
seen
it
happy
to
answer
any
questions
before
I
turn
it
to
Alta
housing
or
we
can
wait
for
their
presentation
and
then
I
can
answer
questions.
E
Thank
you
good
evening,
Carlos
Castellanos.
Vice
president
real
estate,
development
at
Alta,
housing
and
I'm
also
joined
here
today
by
Randy
suda,
our
CEO,
and
we
have
our
project
management
team
also
available
for
questions
on
zoom
and,
as
was
mentioned
before,
Van
Meter,
Williams
and
Pollock
are
also
on
the
call
as
well
for
questions
moving
to
the
next
slide.
E
Just
wanted
to
mention
here
that
that
we,
when
we
came
to
this
body
last
year,
we
were
in
in
a
situation
where
we
were
trying
to
time
the
approvals
so
that
we
could
make
it
to
this
year's
State
financing
application,
and
we
work
very
closely
with
the
with
the
the
staff
team
and
we've
been
able
to
stay
to
that
schedule
through
a
lot
of
back
and
forth
and
and
coordinating
we're
now
on
track,
hopefully
to
to
the
application,
will
come
out
in
April
and
we
will
be
hopefully
having
our
entitlement
approvement
at
that
point,
Point
making
it
possible
for
us
to
continue
moving
ahead
and
and
make
the
application
timing
that
we
had
anticipated
last
year.
E
Moving
on
to
the
next
slide,
just
a
quick
overview,
how
we,
how
we
came
to
first,
you
had
this
idea
of
of
at
the
gatekeeper
session
and
now
we're
at
this
current
proposal.
Here.
I'll
go
to
the
next
slide
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the.
E
What
has
next
slide,
please
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
how,
since
EPC
what
we've
worked
with
closely
on
with
the
the
staff
we've
really
worked
on
massing
and
colors,
and
then
also
putting
a
lot
of
emphasis
on
the
The
Pedestrian
experience
on
the
ground
floor
and
so
going
to
the
next
slide
briefly
here
to
talk
about
how
the
massing,
what
we've
done
is:
we've
we've
looked
at
the
two
bookends
and
and
created
articulation
there,
a
little
and
and
then
change
the
coloring
on
on
those
bookends
and
then
the
middle
bar.
E
Where
we've,
where
we
set
back
that
part
of
the
building,
we
also
were
being
conscious
and
the
staff
was
working
with
us
to
try
and
limit
the
the
cost
impact
of
of
of
the
comments
and
suggestions
and
I
think
we
we've
come
to
a
good
place
where
we
have
some
articulation
and
some
color
changes
to
really
make
to
break
up
the
masses
there
next
slide.
Please
and
I.
Also,
we
really
focused
with
staff
on
on
looking
at
how
to
make
the
the
ground
floor,
space,
interactive
and,
for
example,
on
the
lower
right
hand.
E
There
we
have
the
the
the
corner
Plaza
and
we
opened
it
up
and
so
that
we
could
have
interactive,
not
just
have
passive
seating,
but
also
have
an
interactive
abilities.
There.
We
have
the
a
stencil
on
the
ground
floor
where
we,
the
the
the
public
or
the
person,
would
be
able
to
stand
there
and
and
act
as
a
sundial,
so
they'd
be
able
to
even
tell
what
time
it
was
and.
