This

that

not
on

item.
Would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comments
on
a
non-agenda
item?
A
A
We'll
bring
it
back
to
the
commission
for
item
number
five
5.1,
the
2023
2031
housing
element
earlier
this
evening
earlier
today,
staff
posted
a
distributed
memo
recommending
the
continuance
of
the
public
hearing
on
this
item
to
be
set
at
a
date
and
uncertain
in
the
future.
Memo
is
posted
in
the
city
website
for
within
tonight's
agenda,
Eric
Anderson
Advanced
planning
manager
went
out.
Briefly
summarize
the
memo
Mr
Anderson.
D
D
As
the
staff
report
stated,
if
hcd
has
substantive
additional
comments
on
the
housing
element,
the
EPC
would
have
an
opportunity
to
review
and
make
a
recommendation
on
any
future
draft
that
addresses
hcd
comments.
Staff
met
with
hcd
staff
earlier
today
and
they
provided
additional
substantive
comments,
including
recategorizing
sites
that
should
be
considered
pipeline
versus
inventory.
The
need
to
make
additional
findings
providing
additional
programs
and
providing
more
opportunity
for
non-english
speakers
to
comment
on
the
draft
based
on
this
staff
is
not
recommending
that
the
EPC
hacked
on
the
draft
until
the
necessary
changes
are
made.
D
J
D
D
A
I
Thank
you,
chair,
Eric
I
have
a
quick
question.
So
then
the
letters
that
came
in
expressing
the
different
ideas
and
perspectives
on
housing
element
concerns
that
they
had.
Are
they
then
able
to
reach
out
to
the
person
you
mentioned
now
to
speak
about
those
concerns
or
how
would
they
address
those
needs
outside
of
sharing
their
opinions
with
the
EPC
and
city
council.
D
A
A
E
G
G
Specifically,
there
is
a
number
of
non-vacant
sites
that
are
listed
in
the
pipeline
site
inventory,
but
it's
there
has
not
been
an
evidence-based
analysis
of
whether
the
existing
uses
of
these
sites
will
cease.
So
unless
that
evidence
is
provided
and
there's
actually
proof
that
these
sites
will
be
repurposed
for
housing,
really
encourage
the
city
to
identify
more
sites
in
the
site
inventory.
G
Additionally,
there
are
a
number
of
sites
that
amount
to
about
1500
units
that
were
counted
in
the
past
Arena
cycle.
I
really
want
to
encourage
everyone
to
consider
adding
more
sites
to
site
inventory,
so
we
can
maximize
as
much
housing
as
possible.
We
all
love
Mountain
View,
it's
a
really
great
place,
and
you
want
as
many
people
to
be
able
to
enjoy
it
as
possible,
as
well
as
making
sure
that
we
are
identifying
enough
sites
in
high
opportunity
areas
that
are
near
Transit
and
amenities.
G
So
again,
everyone
can
enjoy
everything
that
Mountain
View
has
to
offer
I've
been
meeting
with
hcd
and
happy
to
meet
with
anyone
from
the
Planning
Commission
and
City
staff
really
want
to
get
this
housing
element
to
a
point
that
has
a
great
outcome
for
everyone,
but
really
appreciate
all
the
work.
That's
being
done
here,
I
think
we're
going
to
get
to
a
really
good
housing
element.
Thank
you.
So
much.
A
A
To
continue
this
item
to
a
first
to
a
future
date
this
this
is
not
actually
we're.
Not
collecting
public
comment
on
the
housing
element
itself.
At
this
point,
so
again,
is
there
anyone
else
wishing
to
speak
on
the
on
the
motion
to
continue
this
item
to
a
future
date
looks
like
we
have
a
couple
of
other
hands
up
as
white
Hill.
L
Evening
Commissioners,
my
name
is
Kevin
ma
represented
the
League
of
Women
Voters.
This
is
a
comment
about
future
direction
to
staff
as
they
are
making
future
edits.
We
are
pleased
to
see
that
staff
is
taking
issues,
tasks
to
better
prove
that
the
sets
and
the
set
inventory
are
in
proper
order
in
terms
of
the
pipeline
sets
being
actually
pipeline
sites,
as
well
as
ensuring
that
the
other
sets
do
show
enough
evidence
that
they
will
be
developing
within
the
next
eight
years.
L
We
are
remain
concern
about
the
vagueness
of
the
programs
in
the
draft,
as
presented
in
December,
in
particular
the
vagueness
about
exactly
what
the
city
itself
is
committing
to
do
in
the
next
eight
years,
as
well
as
a
timeline
about
certain
programs
affecting
the
fair
housing
concerns
of
the
city
being
relatively
late
in
the
process.
So
it
has
been
clear
that
the
fair
housing
concerns
should
be
taken
up
earlier
rather
than
later,
and
that
the
programs
in
the
element
are
deficient
in
terms
of
whether
they
are
actually
going
to
happen.
L
We
have
mentioned
in
the
letter
that
the
density
for
the
church
sites
are
still
low
compared
to
what
they
have
been
in
the
past
decades,
so
we're
very
unsure
that
they
will
actually
get
developed.
The
programs
such
as
the
Adu
fees
structure,
is
still
vague
in
terms
of
what
the
amount
of
money
the
city
is
commuting
to
pay
for,
and
the
programs
to
address
homelessness
and
displacement
are
still
lack,
actual
ties
to
existing
City
processes,
such
as
a
displacement
response
strategy
and
the
letters
from
mvtc
and
reach
potential
movement
Echo.
L
A
K
Hi
I'm
I'm
not
going
to
spend
all
the
my
time,
just
echoing
exactly
what
Kevin
said,
but
the
you
know
also
with
Mountain,
View
and
I.
You
know
similarly
have
the
the
same
concerns.
The
one
thing
I
would
add
is
that
if
you
want
a
quick
sort
of
you
know
rundown
of
our
sort
of
overall
recommendations
for
the
housing
element,
you
should
check
out
our
check
out
our
website.
We've
got
a
section
regarding
the
housing
element
and
our
recommendations
for
it.
A
D
Oh,
that's
that's
a
great
question,
commissioner.
So
the
the
hcd
process
is
really
one
of
being
kind
of
a
sort
of
a
judge
right
in
this
in
this
process.
Right
they're,
taking
public
comment
at
the
same
time
that
they're
reviewing
our
draft
for
statutory
compliance,
so
the
public
comment
certainly
affects
their
review
for
statutory
compliance
and
their
approval
or
not,
is
is
definitely
is
going
to
be
affected
by
the
public
comment
provided
to
them.
D
You
know
modifying
our
plan
based
on
that
modifying
our
plan
based
on
Council
Direction
at
the
same
time-
and
you
know
they're
all
of
these
opportunities,
for
you
know
there
have
been
lots
of
opportunities
to
integrate
public
input
in
you
know
the
council
process,
as
well
as
responding
to
hcd
comments
and
so
long
story
short
I.
Think
it's
you
know.
The
their
comments
do
reflect
some
of
the
comments
that
have
been
submitted
directly
to
them.
D
We
should
expect
that
future
comments
will
also
could
also
affect
their
future
comments
to
a
certain
extent.
This
is-
and
they
were
really
clear
about
this
during
our
meeting
today-
that
you
know
their
their
review
and
the
integration
of
public
comments
doesn't
stop
right.
So
so
this
is,
you
know
this
is
an
ongoing
process
that
we
have
now.
That
being
said,
it
is
a
conversation
they're
looking
for
several
things
in
response
to
comments
either.
You
know
it
could
include
modifying
our
programs
policies,
adding
sites
things
like
that.
D
It
could
also
include
providing
additional
analysis
that
addresses
the
comment
and
it
could
also
include
you
know,
providing
you
know,
providing
additional
data
or
or
other
information
or
or
you
know,
other
comment
from
other
stakeholders
that
offsets
the
comments.
So
there's
certainly
a
lot
of
different
ways.
The
comments
can
be
addressed
and
and
hcd
comments
in
particular,
can.
F
F
You
know
we,
we
have
met
this
guy
and
so,
for
example,
like
Point
number
four
ensure
Outreach
is
conducted
for
non-english
speaking.
You
know
we
did
get
a
couple
letters
from
the
mutants
Coalition
and
from
reach
potential
right,
and
so
we
have
kind
of
two
prominent
just
just,
for
example,
right
there's
a
lot
of,
but
two
prominent
Hispanic
Community
groups
here
and
they've
submitted
letters
is
that
is
it
enough
to
say,
like
hey
here's,
the
letters
that
they
sent
us?
F
You
know
with
their
ask
and
here's
how,
in
this
revised
draft,
we
like
the
one
for
one
kind
of
you
know
getting
everything,
but
here's
what
they
did
get
right
is
that
kind
of
and
and
for
all
the
other
points
is
that
kind
of
like
the
level
of
evidence
you
need
to
provide,
or
what's
the
like,
you
know
what
is
Staff
going
to
do
going
to
this
upcoming
upcoming
meeting
to
you
know,
come
equipped
with
that
evidentiary,
you
know
documentation
indicating
we
we
have
done
these.
These
things.
D
J
Yeah
yeah,
thanks
for
the
question,
so
I,
don't
think
that
there
is
an
objective
measurement
that
we're
necessarily
aiming
toward
it's.
You
know
the
needs
in
terms
of
translation
services
vary
by
community
and
there
isn't
sort
of
a
set.
You
know
standard
to
look
toward
I
I.
Think
that
part
of
this
is
making
sure
that
we're
clear
with
hcd
either
you
know
through
our
meetings
with
them
or
through
what
we
put
in
the
document
itself
about
how
we
have
made
attempts
throughout
the
process
to
provide
translation.
J
And
then
you
know
thinking
about
the
comments
that
they're
giving
us
now
about
whether
there's
been
you
know,
adequate
opportunities,
and
you
know
for
the
next
phases
of
this
process,
making
sure
that
we're
you
know
keeping
that
in
mind
as
we
go
through
the
next.
You
know
rounds
of
revisions
on
this
or
round
of
provision,
and
so
you
know
we're
so
I
think.
That's
sort
of
you
know
it's.
J
It's
sort
of
more
of
an
ongoing
conversation
with
hcd
and
saying
you
know:
we've
heard
what
you
know
both
from
the
community
and
from
hcd,
that
this
is
a
potential
concern
and
here's
how
we're
addressing
it
from
here
on
out
and
what
we've
done
to
date
does
this
seem
like
it's
still
a
concern
and
you
know
sort
of
keeping
that
conversation
open
with
them.
Awesome.
F
Yeah
I
appreciate
that,
because
I
think
Mountain
View
does
a
far
better
job
than
most
cities,
but
I
will
say
right.
Trans
translation
does
not
equal
engagement
right
translating
something
is
not
the
same
as
engaging
a
community,
and
so
you
know,
given
that
we
are
having
proactive
in
reach
right,
inbound
Outreach
to
us,
making
very
clear
asks
from
non-english
speaking
Community
groups.
I
think
that
you
know
that's
something
that
we
ought
to
both
really
value
and
and
consider
how
we
integrate
into
this
process.
I
Thank
you
chair,
so
Eric.
In
terms
of
the
HED
conversation
I
know,
we
had
received
a
letter
from
farrella
Ron
and
Martel
Thomas
Mayhew
made
some
good
points.
Did
they
discuss
it
any
of
that
as
well
with
you,
and
is
there
a
plan
of
attack
on
how
to
deal
with
those
things,
or
is
that
something
that
you
can't
comment
on.
D
D
What
I
will
say
is
rather
than
saying
exactly
what
we're
going
to
do
to
address
everything
you
know.
I
I
will
say
that
you
know
we.
We
have
a
plan
and
you
know
we
have
to
work
out
some
of
the
analysis
to
see
where
it
might
go
and
to
kind
of
verify
that
it
it
meets.
The
you
know
the
statutory
expectations
and
just
to
be
clear.
I
Okay
and
then
follow-up
question
based
on
that
response
that
you
just
shared
with
us
in
terms
of
Outreach
to
the
Spanish
speaking
community
in
general.
By
the
time
you
all
have
like
more
of
a
definitive
process
of
what
you
stand
with
the
language
edits.
Do
you
believe
at
that
time
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
have
some
sort
of
meeting
prior
to
its
presentation
to
the
APC
of
what
those
findings
are
with
the
Spanish
speaking
folks
somewhere
around
as
soon
as
you
know,.
D
Yeah
I
mean
we
were:
we've
met
with
a
couple
of
the
Spanish-speaking
advocacy
organizations
just
recently,
I
think,
like
you
like
Stephanie,
said
and,
and
like
commissioner
Nunez
said,
I
think
those
meetings
can
be
more
productive.
When
we
are,
you
know
when
we,
there
I
think
that
meeting
with
them,
which
we
are
open
to
doing,
we
are
looking
at
ways
of
making
sure
that
they're
as
productive
as
they
can
be.
Oh.
I
No,
no
I
get
that
I.
Think
the
question
is
just
want
to
follow
what
Alex
had
mentioned
about
engagement
in
terms
of
not
just
those
groups,
but
just
a
general
need
with
the
Spanish-speaking
population
members
of
the
community,
not
just
those
two
groups
right.
So
once
you
have
something
more
definitive
in
writing.
D
M
D
You
know,
I
I,
don't
want
to
you
know:
I
I,
don't
want
to
promise
a
date
for
the
commission
or
Council,
but
you
know
some
of
these
grants
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
start
to
you
know
the
application
dates
and
things
like
that
start
around
the
end
of
March.
So
that's
kind
of
a
you
know.
Kind
of
an
informal
Target
for
us
is
to
try
to
meet
that
for
for
Council
adoption.

fell
asleep
for
a
second
there
yeah.
So
we
actually
don't
have
anything
scheduled
for
the
18th
so
enjoy
your
Martin
Luther
King
weekend
February
1st.
We
do
have
a
tentative
item.
It's
the
affordable
housing
project
and
Public
Storage
project
on
Terra
Bella.
So
it's
again
tentative.
D
I
am
going
to
send
out
emails
as
soon
as
I
log
off
right
now
to
see
if
I
can
schedule
times
for
people
to
come
in
and
reacquaint
themselves
with
the
chambers.
Of
course
we
have
to
do
this
in
groups
of
three
or
less,
but
that
is
something
that
we
will
make
sure
we
do
over
the
next
month
so
that
people
feel
prepared
when
we
Dive
In.
