talk
about
some
of
the
key
issues
brought
up
in
the
presentation.
A
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
grant
sylvan
park.
Neighborhood.
Other
workshops
have
focused
on
other
neighborhoods.
A
The
r3
zoning
update
is
only
part
of
the
city's
interconnected
housing
programs.
In
addition,
the
city
is
preparing
the
housing
element,
which
is
a
state
requirement
to
plan
for
more
housing
and
address
housing.
Equity
council
direction
was
to
not
rely
on
the
r3
update
to
accommodate
units
required
of
the
housing
element.
A
A
A
A
A
So
why
update
the
zoning?
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.
The
current
framework
of
densities
do
not
address
neighborhood
conditions.
Through
a
zoning
code
update,
we
can
locate
higher
densities
near
transit
or
services
and
modulate
the
character.
Defining
standards
like
far
setbacks
in
open
area
to
reflect
changes
in
density
changes
to
standards
can
also
help
create
a
broader
range
of
unit
types,
including
more
stacked
flats,
which
can
be
relatively
more
affordable
than
rowhomes
and
other
product
types.
A
Lastly,
with
a
form-based
approach,
and
by
calibrating
standards
to
each
other,
we
can
create
more
flexibility
while
simultaneously
creating
more
predictability
and
streamlining
the
approval
process.
It
should
also
be
noted
that
there
is
a
state
law.
In
effect
that
says,
we
cannot
reduce
residential
density
or
increase
constraints
on
density,
so
some
growth
can
occur,
however,
and
your
input
can
help
inform
how
much.
A
A
A
All
right
so
here
are
the
results.
Exactly
50
of
you
are
home
owners
in
this
neighborhood,
a
few
more
renters
you
none
of
the
above
and
some
one
property
owner.
Thanks
again
for
responding
to
that
poll.
A
So,
let's
get
into
what
we've
heard
so
far,
this
project
started
in
2020.
We
conducted
workshops
and
prepared
a
development
framework
that
was
presented
to
the
environmental
planning
commission
city
council
back
in
2021
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.
A
A
Less
less
expensive,
housing
and
others
wanted
to
minimize
neighborhood
parking
impacts
and
to
ensure
that
new
residents
could
park
their
cars
and
and
own
a
car
to
get
where
they
needed
to
go
and,
of
course,
reflect
all
opinions
that
we
hear
and
don't
hide
the
downsides
and
protect
people
from
displacement
and
rent
increases.
A
A
The
three
and
four-story
sub-districts
were
in
areas
with
a
mix
of
different
surrounding
building
sizes,
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.
A
A
These
are
some
alternative
districts.
As
you
can
see,
the
images
show
how
buildings
can
be
more
massive,
including
more
width
and
fewer
space
between
adjacent
buildings
at
the
higher
sub
districts,
without
necessarily
increasing
height
later
in
the
presentation,
we'll
look
at
a
map
of
where
these
districts
could
go
during
your
breakout
rooms.
You
can
respond
to
these
pictures.
For
example,
is
there
anything
you
like
about
these
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
We
put
a
lot
of
thought
into
transitions
of
height
and
scale
into
existing
neighborhoods.
These
pictures
show
how
smaller
building
scales,
including
height
width
and
depth,
can
help
buildings
better
fit
better
into
the
community,
despite
small
setbacks,
three
or
four
story
to
one
or
two
story
transitions.
A
In
addition,
we've
revised
the
proposed
we've
revised
the
proposed
r3
map
and
eliminated
cases
where
higher
intensity
subzones
would
be
added
to
adjacent
to
lower
density.
Neighborhoods.
The
lower
intensity
subzones
could
have
new
standards
that
could
limit
scale
in
terms
of
height
width
and
depth
both
facing
the
street
and
along
internal
property
lines.
In
addition,
privacy
and
screening
concerns
can
be
addressed
through
landscaping.
A
A
A
So,
as
you
can
see,
here
is
the
grant
sylvan
neighborhood
with
el
camino
real
cutting
through
the
middle
most
of
grand
sullivan
is
r1,
as
you
can
see
in
the
area
between
grant
and
85
small
area
of
r1,
also
around
sylvan
park
and
r2
around
sylvan
park
as
well.
A
The
previous
framework
had
r3c
districts
around
el
camino,
real
and
around
highway
237.
A
This
replaces
that
framework
with
densities
of
r3b,
which
could
theoretically,
which
would
be
somewhat
smaller
than
the
previous
r3c
proposal.
Other
areas
closer
to
r1
neighborhoods
are
farther
away
from
transit.
B
A
So
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
or
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
the
buildings?
What
don't
you
like?
Where
could
they
be
appropriate?
Where
should
pedestrian
and
bicycle
users
be
prioritized?
A
Where
would
you
support
allowing
small
neighborhoods
serving
commercial
uses?
What
do
you
like
better
about
the
2022
map
or
the
2020
map,
and
what
other
ideas
do
you
have
in
closing
I'd
like
to
make
it
clear
that
this
is
not
an
all
or
nothing
approach,
form-based
principles,
neighborhood,
commercial
and
open
space
can
move
forward
with
the
2020
map
or
we
could
use
parts
of
the
2020
map
and
parts
of
the
2022
map.
A
A
E
Yes,
hi
eric
I've
gone
through
all
your
meetings.
I
do
like
to
get
overview.
I
just
try
to
understand
is
all
the
units
allocated
to
r3
workers.
Workshops
are
in
additional
to
the
housing
elements
that
one
one
one,
three
five
units
you
are
to
see
here,
planning
to
build
in
the
next
eight
years.
A
Yes,
so
yeah
just
to
clarify
that
the
housing
element
is
a
state
requirement
and,
yes,
we
are
required
to
show
that
we
have
zoned
adequate
capacity
on
developable
sites
for
11,
135
units
and
and
so
to
answer
your
question.
E
Okay,
would
you
be
able
to
provide
us
a
very
high
level
estimate
on
how
many
in
total
these
are
three
will
create?
How
many
units.
A
Yeah,
that's
a
very
difficult
question
par.
A
lot
of
it
will
depend
on
the
direction
that
council
ends
up
deciding
to
go
in.
There
was
an
estimate
of
the
2020
framework,
so
the
map
that
we
saw
the
map
on
the
left
before
with
the
higher
intensities
and
the
taller
buildings
that
that
could
create
the
potential
for
9000
additional
units.
A
The
2022
map
would
almost
certainly
be
fewer
additional
units
and
then
there's
also
the
the
existing
capacity
of
the
r3
zone,
which
is
probably
in
this.
You
know
in
the
several
thousands,
but
certainly
a
lot
less
than
nine
thousand.
E
Okay,
I'm
sorry,
I
don't
want
to
be
asking
all
the
questions,
but
it's
it's
concerning
right
because
what's
the
time
frame,
you're,
you're
planning
for
all
these
units
being
built
with
this
r3
zoning.
A
Yeah,
it
would
be
completely
up
to
the
property
owners,
so
once
you
adopt
the
zoning,
then
any
property
owner
could
come
in
and
decide
to
build
a
project
consistent
with
that
zoning
and
it's
very
hard
to
predict
exactly
when
property
owners
might
decide
to
do
that.
It
would
certainly
you
know,
oftentimes.
Our
planning
horizons
are
20
30
years
and
oftentimes
when,
when.
A
That
long
things
are
changing
the
whole
time
and
and
the
world
never
turns
out
exactly
how
you
expect
it
to,
but
this
would
be
zoning
capacity
that
could
be
created.
E
D
F
Yes,
thank
you
for
taking
my
question.
What
is
the
difference
in
r1
and
r2
designations
on
your
map.
A
A
B
E
Yeah,
just
I
I
added
up
all
the
numbers
eric
provided
earlier.
It
would
be
20
000
units
in
the
next
eight
years
if
developers
were
able
to
develop
all
these
housing.
That
would
be
a
huge
increase
of
population
density.
E
What
are
the
plan
for
the
city
to
accommodate
these
almost
30
40
percent
increase
of
population
in
that
period
of
time?
If
this
does
happen
in
the
next
10
years,.
A
Yeah
so
part
of
the
planning
process
that
we
would
go
through
as
we
further
refine
the
r3
zone
would
be
addressing
those
infrastructure
issues
and
those
you
know,
parks
issues
and
things
like
that.
That
were
that
the
community.
A
As
a
concern,
we're
also
working
with
our
community
services
division
to
prepare
a
parks
and
recreation
strategic
plan
which
it
can
be
informed
by
growth
projections.
A
G
A
The
effect
of
11
135
units
or
even
15
000
units,
which
includes
the
buffer
that
were
encouraged
to
include
over
the
next
eight
years,
including
on
water,
supply
and
infrastructure.
A
So
this
is
all
analysis
that
we
carry
out
and
at
this
point
for
the
r3
zone,
it's
it's
a
little
preliminary
to
start
going
down
that
path,
because
we
don't
really
know
kind
of
where
the
the
community
is
indicating
for
us
to
go
where
council
wants
us
to
go,
but
we're
more
than
happy
to
take
your
concern
about
the
effect
of
this
growth.
As
a
comment,
please
do
provide
it
as
a
comment
during
the
breakout
groups.
C
I
just
have
one
quick
question.
Sorry
I
couldn't
find
I'm
on
my
phone.
Couldn't
find
a
raised
hand.
You
know
I
remember
city
talking
about
sustainability
and
just
become
be
more
green
and
stuff.
How
will
this
population
growth
affect
our
effort
to
be
more
sustainable
and
be
more
conservative
with
our
water
usage
and
overall
pollution
control.
A
Sure
that's
a
great
question.
You
know
I
there's
a
lot
of
potential
opportunity
through
new
development
to
make
sites
greener,
so
new
development
tends
to
be
much
more
energy
efficient,
much
more
water
efficient
than
what's
on
the
ground
today.
A
There
is
also
an
opportunity
with
additional
housing
to
reduce
the
city's
overall
to
reduce
the
city's
per
capita
vehicle
miles
traveled,
which
has
a
an
improvement
on
the
overall
efficiency
of
the
city's
transportation
infrastructure,
and
you
know
our
effectiveness
in
fighting
against
climate
change,
and
there
are
probably
several
other
reasons
that
you
could
probably
hear
from
other
people
in
groups
today
about
why
it
is
maybe
sustainable
to
adopt
more
growth
through
the
r3
update
and
yeah.
A
So
I,
I
think,
that's
a
great
question
and
if
you
have
concerns
about
how
it
may
be
more
sustainable
to
scale
back
growth,
you
know
we'll
take
those
comments
as
well.
So
we're
certainly
interested
in
hearing
this
conversation
about
sustainability
and
and
what
is
the
most
most
sustainable
path
for
the
city.
A
A
Thanks
to
the
facilitators
and
the
note
takers
and
everybody
and
a
lot
of
people
just
just
pitching
in
even
even
the
attendees,
pitching
in
helping
to
clear
up
questions
and
provide
backgrounds
on
the
city
and
standards
and
everything
it's
a
team
effort.
Thank
you
all
so
much
yeah.
I
hope
we
hadn't.
You
had
an
excellent
time
with
your
group
and
I
hope
you
provided
a
lot
of
great
input
to
this
process
again,
thanks
again
for
coming
out
tonight.
A
Next,
let's
talk
to
somebody
from
each
group
and
get
a
summary
of
the
big
ideas
and
discussion
points
that
came
up
so
group.
One.
H
Yeah
group
one
is
gonna,
be
summarized
by
alex
all
right:
we
had
a
fun
group
tonight.
It
was
good
all
right.
So,
let's
start
with
the
first
subject
on
scale
and
character,
most
of
the
people.
Our
group
liked
2020's
six
story
thing
and
are
sad
that
we
that
that's
not
the
current
state.
H
H
H
We
should
have
more
density
that
it
is
that
that
the
people
who
want
broad
spaces
around
their
homes
probably
won't
get
it,
because
this
is
not
montana
and
that
there
is
going
to
be
change
and
it
changes
the
content
and
that
we
need
to
increase
density,
and
some
of
that
is
going
to
be
a
cost
to
the
people
who
have
homes
from
the
50s
for
pedestrian
connection
street
scrapes.
Everyone
liked
really
wide
sidewalks
and
especially
landscaping
between
the
sidewalks
and
buildings.
H
There
were
mixed
views
about
stoops
and
other
kind
of
elevated
frontages,
but
yeah
wide
sidewalks
pedestrian
access,
especially
stuff
that
accommodates
people
who
are
older
or
disabled
for
the
popas
and
other
concessions
for
green
spaces
there.
It
was
a
consensus
that
we
like
green
spaces
and
open
space
and
nature.
H
There
was
a
subset
of
the
group
that
wanted
it,
no
matter
what
so
no
concessions.
Just
all
projects
should
have
publicly
accessible,
open
natural
space,
but
a
lot
of
people.
H
The
rest
of
the
group
said:
they're
fine
with
having
additional
housing,
and
that
was
is
a
benefit
in
and
of
itself
to
have
additional
height
and
density
with
the
housing.
H
If
you're
also
going
to
get
green
space
win-win,
everyone
also
want
to
agree
that
commercial
space
ground
floor
retail
is
good
for
different
reasons,
but
some
of
us
wanted
to
be
mandatory
for
all.
Basically,
all
properties
should
have
a
ground
floor.
Retail.
H
There
was
a
discussion
about
how
it
you
know
we
used
to
have
things
like
tailors,
cobblers,
other
things
in
town,
but
now
it's
just
restaurants,
which
is
kind
of
monoculture,
because
they've
been
driven
out
by
high
rent
prices
and
that
adding
more
small
pads
that
are
rentable
by
various
businesses
would
let
mountain
view
continue
to
have
a
diverse
ecosystem
of
business
areas.
H
I
think
that's
it
other
than
what's
up
with
the
nob
hill
area,
but
I
think
that's
that's
in
the
other
neighborhood.
A
G
Yeah,
so
we
had
a
good
time
in
group
two.
I
didn't
get
any
volunteers
to
summarize
unless
they
want
to
speak
up
now:
real,
quick,
okay,
no,
it's
cool
I'll,
be
sharing
I'll
work
backwards
right
at
the
end,
we
started
talking
about
the
importance
of
architectural
design
and
aesthetics
and
how
those
how
the
standards
might
be
written
to
ensure
that
buildings
look
good
when
they
come
in.
G
A
lot
of
people
said
said
yes
to
just
about
everything
we
looked
at,
so
anything
that
the
city
could
do
to
allow
more
units
to
get
built
more
neighbors
to
come
in
is
a
good
thing.
G
We
talked
about
the
importance
of
of
connectivity
through
large
sites,
so
providing
pedestrian
connectivity
or
bicycle
connectivity,
also
using
the
update
as
an
opportunity
to
ensure
connectivity
from
those
sites
to
the
existing
bike
and
pedestrian
trails.
The
stephens
creek
trail
came
up
a
lot
ada
concerns,
so
when
we
showed
those
stoops
and
porches,
there
were
some
some
thoughts
about
access
wheelchair
access.
G
I
want
to
get
into
some
of
these
interesting
comments.
We
we
talked
about
the
views
of
the
mountains,
and
so
when
we
talked
about
building
height,
there
was
an
example
given
of
a
new
gas
station
that
blocked
the
mountain
view,
which
is
an
ironic
thing
to
an
appropriate
thing
to
be
thinking
about.
But
what
sort
of
zoning
standards
and
regulations
could
could
mitigate
against
the
blockage
of
those
mountain
views.
G
Consensus
on
ground
floor
non-residential
uses
so
whether
they're
new
projects,
new
big
projects
in
exchange
for
additional
height
or
density
or
not
having
ground
floor
commercial
uses.
Somebody
expressed
their
concerns
about
those
uses
being
normally
higher
price
than
than
other
places.
Other
people
had
interesting
comments
about
the
development
standards.
G
Allowing
existing
places
in
r3
have
a
little
more
flexibility
with
their
ground
floor,
so
perhaps
allowing
them
to
open
their
garage
opening
some
sort
of
non-residential,
retail
or
service
use
right
out
of
the
garage
parking
of
course
came
up,
and
we
had
a
lot
of
people
talked
about
how
it's
it's
a
tricky
issue.
There
were
ideas
about
it
being
consolidated
somehow
into
a
structure
or
two
so
that
there
could
be
a
little
more
potential
and
flexibility
with
those
existing
sites
so
that
they
won't
have
to
plan
so
much
around
parking.
G
Yeah,
just
the
removal
of
a
red
tape
for
for
these
sites
to
develop
and
develop
affordably
and
feasibly.
So
I
think
I
got
everything,
but
if,
if
I
missed
anything,
speak
up
group
two
thank
you.
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
russell
and
great
job
facilitating
that
group
group.
Three.
D
Great,
so
I
will
be
sharing
thoughts
in
my
group
and
then
I
would
invite
anyone
from
my
group
to
chip
in
at
the
end,
if
I
miss
something
because
I'll
give
more
generalities.
D
We
really
support
promoting
community
feelings
and
have
concerns
specifically
about
traffic
tied
to
the
density
that
might
be
added
here,
specifically
talking
about
the
grant
in
el
camino
junction,
as
well
as
grant
road
a
new
idea
for
some
transfer
of
development
rights,
which
would
allow
higher
building
certain
places
and
then
more
open
space.
Potentially.
D
We
agree
that
mixed
use
is
convenient
and
might
we'd
recommend
more
density
near
mixed
use,
but
it
might
actually
not
be
needed
in
this
neighborhood,
because
el
camino
is
pretty
stacked
and
there
was
a
conversation
about
more
low-income
housing
being
added
to
this
project
and
the
associated
potential
for
crime,
but
also
the
potential
for
a
stronger
community.
A
A
So
thanks
again,
this
concludes
this
workshop.
This
includes
all
the
workshops
in
fact
appreciate
everybody's
participation
and
great
input
and
to
the
opticos
team
and
the
city
staff
team
thanks

so
much
for
all
your
great
help
across
six
very
exciting
evenings,
so
really
really
appreciate
it.
Everybody
I'll
hang
out
for
another
few
minutes.
A
If
anybody
has
any
questions,
but
again,
you
know
mountain
view
has
some
of
the
most
engaged
folks
and
just
engaged
in
just
such
a
such
a
really
wonderful
civil,
delightful
way
that
that
provides
great
input
to
staff
and
council
and

we

what
we

So
