All
right,
so
we
will
start
interpretation
and
move
on.
As
a
reminder,
please
keep
yourself
muted.
During
the
presentation.
We
will
have
an
opportunity
for
q
a
afterward.
Please
use
the
reaction
raise
hand
tool.
If
you
want
to
ask
a
question
if
you're
calling
in
please
raise
your
hand
at
the
end
of
the
presentation
using
star9,
we'll
answer
your
questions
after
the
presentation
we'll
have
group
discussions
to
talk
about
some
of
the
key
questions
that
we
have
in
our
presentation.
A
The
purpose
of
tonight's
meeting
is
to
get
input
on
the
r3
zoning
update.
This
project
is
an
action
in
the
council's
strategic
roadmap.
It's
part
of
a
priority
to
help
create
housing
options
in
the
city.
This
meeting
is
focused
on
the
san
antonio
ranksdorf
del
medio.
Neighborhood
future
workshops
will
focus
on
other
neighborhoods.
A
A
A
A
A
R3
is
one
of
the
city's
standard
zoning
districts
and
it's
intended
for
a
broad
range
of
residential
development
types.
It
covers
much
of
the
city
and
almost
all
the
neighborhoods
with
multi-family
row
house
and
other
hoa
developments.
The
r3
zone
regulates
development
through
standards
which
new
buildings
need
to
comply
with.
A
A
So
why
are
we
updating
the
r3
zone?
As
I
stated
earlier,
the
city
council
has
a
goal
to
increase
housing
options
in
the
city
and
the
r3
zoning
update
is
a
key
part
of
that
effort.
The
city
is
looking
into
a
form-based
approach.
This
means
that
the
standards
focus
on
the
form
of
the
building
rather
than
its
contents.
A
For
example,
a
building
with
more
small
units
would
be
treated
the
same
as
a
building
with
fewer
large
units.
This
has
several
benefits.
First,
the
current
framework
of
densities.
Don't
really
address
neighborhood
conditions.
Through
a
zoning
code
update,
we
can
locate
higher
densities
near
transit
or
services.
We
can
also
modulate
character,
defining
standards
like
far
setbacks
and
open
area
to
reflect
changes
in
density
changes,
because
standards,
changes
to
standards
can
also
help
create
a
broader
range
of
unit
types,
including
more
stack
flats
which
can
be
relatively
more
affordable
than
row,
homes
and
other
product
types.
A
Before
we
get
any
further,
we
should
define
some
terms
that
we're
going
to
be
using
later
in
the
presentation.
One
is
house
scale
which
generally
refers
to
separate
buildings
along
a
block,
usually
up
to
about
80
feet
wide.
They
can
include
multiple
units
and
are
generally
up
to
about
two
to
three
stories.
A
C
A
A
A
A
That
framework
looked
at
maximizing
development
potential.
It
looked
at
the
characteristics
of
each
site
and
analyzed
how
large
a
building
the
site
could
feasibly
accommodate.
In
addition,
there
was
analysis
of
how
many
existing
units
could
be
replaced
at
rents
or
sales
prices
affordable
to
those
living
there
today.
A
A
A
A
A
This
slide
summarizes
the
growth
framework
that
I
talked
about.
It
included
these
sub-districts,
ranging
from
two
up
to
six
stories.
The
two-story
sub-district
focused
on
areas
with
small
parcels
and
no
nearby
three-story
buildings.
The
three
and
four-story
sub-districts
were
in
areas
with
a
mix
of
different
surrounding
building
sizes
and
parcel
sizes.
The
six-story
sub-district
was
just
for
the
sites
with
the
most
development
capacity
and
fewest
surrounding
two-story
buildings,
but,
as
I
said,
we're
taking
another
look
at
how
sub-districts
could
be
different
in
the
r3
zone.
A
Rather
than
focusing
on
differences
in
height,
we
could
focus
on
differences
in
scale
and
character.
An
alternative
framework
could
have
lower
intensity
districts,
be
more
house
scale
and
higher
intensity
districts
be
more
block
scale.
These
are
some
alternative
districts.
As
you
can
see,
these
images
show
how
buildings
can
be
more
massive,
including
more
width
and
fewer
space
between
adjacent
buildings
at
the
higher
sub-districts,
but
not
by
increasing
height.
A
Later
in
the
presentation,
we
will
look
at
a
map
of
where
these
districts
can
go
during
your
breakout
rooms.
You
can
respond
to
these
pictures.
For
example,
is
there
anything
you
like
about
the
buildings
or
things
you
don't
like?
Are
there
locations
where
some
of
these
buildings
might
be
appropriate,
or
even
some
of
the
previous
frameworks,
buildings.
A
In
addition,
we've
revised
the
proposed
r3
map
and
eliminated
cases
where
higher
intensity
sub
zones
would
be
added
adjacent
to
lower
density
neighborhoods.
The
lower
intensity
subzones
could
have
new
standards
which
could
limit
scale,
including
height
width
and
depth
both
facing
the
street,
as
well
as
along
internal
property
lines.
A
A
A
A
A
The
in
the
2022
approach
map,
it's
all
three
stories
with
potential
density
bonus
under
state
law,
which
would
go
above
three
stories,
but
the
block
scale
buildings
are
focused
around
california,
latham
and
del
medio,
as
well
as
some
areas
closer
to
the
san
antonio
shopping
center
and
then
other
areas
that
are
farther
away
from
the
san
antonio
shopping
center
or
are
already
developed
with
row.
Houses
and
other
smaller
scale
uses
are
in
the
lower
density
zones.
The
r3a
and
r3b
zones.
A
A
We
will
be
asking
you
in
the
breakout
rooms
to
weigh
in
on
these
two
maps.
You
can
be
thinking
about
whether
we
should
change
any
of
the
locations
of
subzones
are
any
of
the
previous
sub
zones,
a
good
idea
anywhere,
where
are
transitions
important?
Where
would
neighborhood
serving
commercial
be
appropriate?
A
So
that
summarizes
our
alternative
approach
tonight
you'll
have
an
opportunity
to
respond
to
these
ideas
in
your
breakout
groups.
You
can
discuss
these
questions
like
what
do
you
like
in
the
examples
of
buildings?
What
don't
you
like?
Where
could
they
be
appropriate?
Where
should
pedestrian
and
bicycle
users
be
prioritized?
Where
would
you
support
allowing
small
neighborhoods
serving
commercial
uses?
A
E
Yeah,
so
I'm
just
wondering
you
mentioned
that
in
2020
you
try
to
maximize
development
capacity,
but
then
it
sounds
like
you
scaled
it
back
to
some
degree
and
I'm
curious.
Why
so,
of
course,
focusing
in
places
like
close
to
transit?
This
all
makes
sense,
but
why
not
to
really
try
to
maximize
development
capacity,
given
all
constraints
that
already
know
so.
A
A
One
reason
is
to
give
the
public
an
opportunity
to
respond
to
real
alternatives,
and
this
kind
of
helps
us
get
an
understanding
of
where
the
community's
priorities
may
be
and
where
different
parts
of
the
community
might
have
different
values
and
different
priorities.
So
it's
really
to
just
start
the
conversation
and
provide
a
a
way
to
bring
out
options
from
the
community.
D
Yes,
the
way
to
raise
your
hand
is
to
go
to
the
reaction.
It's
the
smiley
face
at
the
bottom
of
your
screen
and
then
you'll
see
an
option
to
raise
your
hand:
okay,
boomer,
okay!
Thank
you!
Okay
and
I'll.
Come
back
y'all
I'll!
Ask
you
for
a
question.
After
we
ask
tim
and
then
after
tim
will
ask
matthew
and
then
I'll
come
to
you
peggy!
Okay!
Now
I
see
okay,
so
tim,
you
can
ask
your
question.
G
Yes,
please.
I
appreciate
you
holding
this
session
this
evening,
I'm
concerned
potentially
about
density.
We
seem
to
be
looking
through
this
at
a
like
a
soda
straw.
As
far
as
individual
properties
are
concerned,
does
the
city
console
have
a
limit
on
density
by
neighborhood
and
is
there
an
overall
density
target
for
the
city?
Please.
A
Great
question
we
have
through
our
zoning
code,
we
have
a
range
of
maximum
densities
in
different
parts
of
the
city,
so
along
el
camino
real.
It's
not
unheard
of
to
see.
You
know
recent
developments
that
have
been
80
even
more.
You
know
80
90
units
per
acre
in
east
wisman
and
north
bay
shore.
We
recently
adopted
plans
even
higher
density
than
that
the
r3
zone.
A
H
A
So
this
is
exactly
the
type
of
input.
That's
a
great
question
matthew!
Thank
you.
This
is
exactly
the
type
of
things
that
we'd
love
to
hear
from
you
about
how
you
would
envision
commercial
in
your
neighborhoods.
You
know
when
we
say
a
neighborhood
serving
commercial
generally.
That
does
mean
the
small
scale
uses
that
are.
F
A
A
F
I
A
Okay,
potentially
that
could
have
a
reduction.
We
wouldn't
it
wouldn't
reduce
from
what
we
can
do
today.
So
today
we
were
actually
not
allowed
under
state
law
to
reduce
from
what
is
allowed
today,
but
between
the
proposed
2020
map
to
the
2022
map.
That
would
be
a
reduction
in
the
potential
future
amount
of
units.
I
A
I
Yeah
the
same
comments,
I
would
think
it's
probably
pretty
ideal
to
have
higher
stories
on
the
facing
el
camino
side
and
facing
san
antonio
side
and
the
inner
ones
could
be
lower.
Just
you
know,
I
I
think
I
can
feel
the
same
way
as
the
previous
person
reads,
the
question
yeah
I
have
I.
I
appreciate
all
the
questions
you
have
answered
from
me.
J
Hey
everyone-
I
was
just
wondering,
I
know
just
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
sizable
amount
of
renters
in
this
r3
zone,
as
it
is
a
multi-family
zoned
area
and
just
looking
at
the
bulls
at
the
beginning
and
just
knowing
that
a
lot
of
times
renters
tend
to
be
underrepresented
in
these
type
of
meetings.
I
was
wondering
what
the
planning
group
was
doing
to
try
to
do
outreach
to
the
renters.
A
Absolutely
well
we,
after
once,
we
finish
this
round
of
workshops,
we're
going
to
continue
to
have
the
the
websites
for
continuing
to
provide
input.
We'll
look
at
any,
maybe
potential
areas
where
we
haven't
heard
from
a
lot
of
groups,
or
you
know
kind
of
our
target
number
of
input
from
different
folks
and
then
we'll
go
out
and
we'll
we
have
a
bunch
of
mailing
lists
and
contact
lists.
For
you
know
the
csfra.
B
A
Great
well
perfect,
thank
you
all
so
much
great
questions.
Let's
jump
into
our
breakout
groups
hold
on
one.
Second,
let's
see,
if
there's
anything
yeah,
you
will
be
assigned
a
random
breakout
group,
so
please
just
accept
it
when
you're
prompted
if
you're
interested
in
joining
a
spanish
or
chinese
breakout
group,
please
do
not
accept
the
group.
A
Hopefully
my
interpreters
are
translating
this
for
me,
but
please
raise
your
hand
and
we'll
put
you
into
a
special
group,
and
hopefully
we
will
have
enough
interpreters
to
support
every
every
language
we
want
welcome
back.
I
hope
you
had
an
excellent
time
with
your
group
and
provide
a
lot
of
great
input
to
the
process.
A
K
I
I
I
We
would
like
to
to
limit
the
height
of
the
building
and
we
would
like
to
if
the
buildings
are
above
three
levels.
We
would
like
the
buildings
to
be
built
off
either
el
camino
or
santo
new
and
the
the
team.
The
group
all
agree.
We
support
open
space
and
green
space,
but
we
didn't
get
a
consensus
if
we
would
like
to
trade
off
like
brewing
higher
to
trade
out
for
open
space,
we
would
also
like
to
keep
the
park.
I
Currently
we
have
at
the
corner
of
ortega
and
california
street
and
we
believe
that's
a
public
park.
We
should
be
able
to
keep
them
for
the
commercial
buildings.
We
would
like
to
most
possibly
have
one
bike
shop
and
maybe
a
bubble
tea
or
coffee,
some
kind
of
cute
outdoor
commercial
retail
space
of
camino
el
camino.
I
A
L
L
Obviously,
with
you
know,
parking
and
traffic
impacts
in
terms
of
the
the
transition
tools,
we
heard
some
interesting
comments
about
about
about
who
are
who
those
are
designed
to
protect
and
some
good
comments
about,
not
not
using
those
tools
just
to
protect
single-family
residential
homes,
but
also
some
of
the
the
smaller
apartment
buildings
in
r3
to
really
pay
attention
to
the
surrounding
context,
regardless
of
zoning
and
type
of
dwelling
that
is
abutting.
Those
new
projects
also
the
types
of
transitions.
L
Some
interesting
comments
on
the
idea
of
requiring
public
open
spaces.
Some
some
some
concern
in
some
people's
voices
about
about
how
those
how
those
trade-offs
might
be
set
up.
So
what's
what
might
the
quality
of
those
spaces,
those
public
open
spaces
that
might
be
provided
and
what
might
be
used
as
exchange
for.
L
You
know
the
flexibility
to
developers.
What
exactly
can
they
what
they
can
get
out
of
in
exchange
for
that
small
scale,
commercial
uses?
We
we
had
pretty
much
consensus.
It
seems,
like
everybody,
likes
the
idea
of
having
something
useful
to
walk
to,
especially
when
it's
neighborhood
scale,
especially
if
it
doesn't
have
a
parking
lot
in
front.
So
we
talked
about
maybe
limiting
parking
minimums
in
those
spaces
and
a
couple
people
mentions.
The
crossings
is
good.
A
C
G
B
G
From
for
many
years
with
regards
to
which
is
the
better
map,
personally,
I
favored
the
2022.
However,
I
was
definitely
the
minority
amongst
our
group.
I
think
the
the
stronger
support
is
for
the
2020
map
on
that.
With
regards
to
that,
the
density
the
this
really
with
regard,
not
the
density,
but
the
stories
of
the
building
seems
to
be
the
issue
there
so
split,
but
in
our
group
the
2020
seemed
to
be
the
the
greater
interest
on
that.
G
G
It
would
be
the
medium
house
scale,
it's
probably
what
we're
looking
at
then
off
of
that
interest.
Definitely
maintaining
three-story
height
limits
off
of
that
not
going
higher,
which
kind
of
contradicts
with
the
2020
model
our
map.
Off
of
that
I
I
don't
think
that
we
should
be
less
than
than
two
stories.
I
would
say
I
pardon
me
the
group
thinks
off
of
that
so
and
the
medium
house
again
the
r3a
as
much
density
as
possible
to
support
the
housing
in
the
neighborhood.
G
Personally,
I
don't
agree
with
that
again.
I
would
like
to
see
some
sort
of
density
restrictions
across
the
neighborhoods
in
the
city,
but
that's
my
personal
opinion
off
of
that.
I
think
that
we
do
have
support
for
more
open
space
off
of
that
and
possible
interest
in
trading
stories
for
density.
So
if
you,
if
a
builder
were
to
add
get
permission
for
a
four-story,
for
example,
they
would
have
to
come
up
with
whatever
park
space,
to
open
space.
G
To
accommodate
that,
I
don't
know
what
that
ratio
would
look
like,
but
there
would
need
to
be
some
sort
of
standardized
ratio
that
the
city
of
council
agreed
upon
that,
but
but
don't
just
give
away.
If
you
will
a
four
story,
no,
no,
that
four
story
would
come
at
the
expense
of
more
open
space
off
of
that
a
definite
need
to
put
transit
close
to
the
housing
we
already
have
vta.
As
an
example,
we
also
have
the
community
shuttle
probably
need
to
do
a
better
job
of
advertising.
G
We
talked
about
the
crossings
at
mountain
view
as
a
way
to
do
the
transition
off
of
this,
so
that
we
don't
get
these
ugly
jarring
transitions
from
old
to
new
off
of
that
I'll
just
note,
then,
I
actually
happen
to
live
in
the
commons,
our
primary
in
the
crossings
off
of
that
I'll.
Just
note
that
that
was
a
single
development,
if
you
will
a
single
site
at
the
time,
that's
probably
not
applicable
to
most
developments
these
days
off
of
that
and
that's
a
20
year
old
model.
G
That
did
that
the
concern
with
the
screening
through
landscaping
is
to
get
that
to
be
mature.
So
it's
actually
effective
is
a
long
process.
That's
probably
10
to
20
years
by
the
time
the
trees
and
the
vegetation
grow
to
they're
actually
providing
that
screening.
So
we
would
need
to
find
another
way
in
addition
to
that
landscaping
to
somehow
provide
screening.
For
that.

A
G
Interested
in
mixed
use
here,
commercial
integrated
with
residential,
not
separate
spaces,
are
probably
not
separate
buildings,
but
in
the
building
itself
and
and
some
sort
of
small
scale
commercial,
whether
that
is
a
food
court,
a
a
a
cafe,
whatever
no
bars
doesn't
need
to
sell
more
liquor
but
integrated
and
again
perhaps
there's
a
limit
on
that
hypothetically.
Maybe
that's
five
percent
of
the
total
residential
space
in
that
particular
building,
and
with
that
said,
I
think
I'm
done.
I
appreciate
it
back
over
to
you
eric.
A
M
Hello,
it
went
up
similar
to
the
other
group.
We
tried
to
get
someone
two
percent
today,
but
we
could
not
get
someone
to
do
it,
but
I
will
try
to
do
my
best
here
to
put
everyone's
ideas
into
perspective,
pertaining
to
the
first
question
of
focus
of
district
on
different
scale
characters.
There
is
a
unanimous
agreement
that
you
know,
density
and
height
should
be.
There
should
be
more
density
and
more
height
in
general.
There
is
existing
apartments
out
in
that
area
that
currently
exceed
a
six
story.
M
I
believe
I
heard
up
to
eight
stories,
someone
and
I
would
try
to
keep
it
quick,
just
keep
in
mind
on
time,
improve
transition
and
height
and
scale.
The
group
did
agree
that,
even
if
you
do
allow
more
height,
there's
still
a
way
that
you
could
do
that
in
a
way
that
respects
the
adjacency
standards
and
the
requirements
that
you
could
add
at
step
backs
on
those
areas
pertaining
to
improve
pedestrian
connections.
M
I
think
this
is
where
our
group
was
the
most
excited
and
about
the
the
update
and
particularly
increasing
sidewalks
and
maintaining
the
walkability,
as
well
as
including
more
activities
for
cyclists.
Bicycle
lanes
ensuring
that
there's
more
of
a
connectivity
to
existing
bike
lanes
as
well
as
prioritizing
open
space
and
greenery,
so
really
that
the
focus
was
pedestrian
scale
skill
and
they
really
enjoyed
it
and
agreed
that
that
should
be
the
focus.
M
As
far
as
allowing
small
commercial
uses,
the
group
felt
it
is
important
to
allow
commercial
uses,
but
there
should
be
a
focus
on
neighborhood
serving
commercial
uses
that
particularly
will
serve
the
neighborhood
and,
to
the
extent
possible,
scattering
those
uses
throughout
the
r3
areas
and
not
just
concentrating
them
in
one
place
which
may
not
necessarily
further
promote
walkability
within
these
neighborhoods
and
pertaining
to
the
last
question
create
a
moderate
growth
option.
The
group
overall
fell.
M
A
A
First
of
all,
if
you
feel
like
you
had
more
to
say,
or
if
you
have
a
neighbor
that
couldn't
make
it
please
log
into
our
website
here,
mountainview.gov
slash,

zoning
update
this
url
is
also
on
the
flyer
or
the
notice
that
you
might
have
received.
You'll
have
an
opportunity
to
provide
comments
on
all
of
these
topics
through
that
website.
A
This
module
for
this
neighborhood
will
be
up
probably
in
by
the
end
of
the
week.
So
right
now,
the
previous
neighborhoods
that
we've
done
are
already
up.
This
neighborhood
will
be
up
in
the
next
couple
of
days
and
after
this
we'll
carry
on
through
the
end
of
2022,
with
more
outreach
and
we'll
develop
options
and
return
to
the
epc
and
council
for
their
review
in
early
2023
and
we're
expecting
adoption
in
late
2023
or
early
2024..
A
So
again,
thank
you
all
again
so
much
for
joining
us
tonight.
I
hope
you

be
able
to
stay
after
for
another
couple
of
minutes.
If
anybody
has
any
quick
questions
right
now,
but
otherwise
have
a
great
night
and
thanks
again.
