in

please
submit
a
blue

card
to
the
city

now,
so
first
we're
going
to
have
we're
going
to
recognize
Asian,
American
and
Pacific
Islander
heritage
month
with
a
proclamation
and
we're
happy
to
be
joined
this
evening
by
Nancy
G
to
accept
this
Proclamation
and
so
Nancy.
A
So,
thank
you.
Nancy.
It's
good
to
see
you
I'm,
going
to
read
a
little
bit
of
the
Proclamation,
but
not
the
entire
thing,
because
they
get
fairly
bureaucratic
and
more
I
want
to
talk
about
your
your
family
and
your
father's
contribution
to
the
city.
But
to
give
a
little
background
with
on
what
the
proclamation
says,
it
says,
whereas
the
month
of
May
was
chosen
chosen
as
Asian
Pacific
American
heritage
month
to
commemorate
two
important
historic
Milestones,
one.
A
And
the
Mountain
View
Community
at
large,
including
members
of
the
city
council,
now
Nancy
I,
wanted
to
present
this
to
you
in
particular,
because
I'm,
a
lifelong
member
of
our
historic
Association
and
I've,
read
history,
books
of
mountain
you
like
milestones
and
there's
some
stories
that
they
leave
out
and
one
of
the
stories
I
think
was
your
fathers
and
your
family's
contribution
to
our
downtown
to
Mountain
View's
economy
as
a
whole.
At
a
time
when
we
were
frankly
struggling
economically
and
the
city
was
was
in
the
red.
A
F
Right,
thank
you,
mayor
Hicks
and
thank
you.
City
Council
Members
I
appreciate
the
being
able
to
accept
this
on
behalf
of
the
Chinese
Americans
and
the
Asian
Americans
in
the
Mountain
View
Community.
As
far
as
my
family
was
concerned,
we
actually
came
to
Mountain
View
in
the
early
or
no
excuse
me
late,
60s
and
back
then
it
was
around
the
time
when
I
believe
Mayfield
mall.
If
for
those
of
you
that
have
been
around
long
enough,
Mayfield
Mall
had
just
opened,
and
that
was
kind
of
the
end
thing
for
businesses.
F
F
If
you
remember
them,
one
was
kui
Hing
Mo
and
there
was
one
that's
called
Andes
and
that
was
basically
it
as
far
as
Chinese
restaurants
and,
like
I,
said
a
lot
of
vacancies
and
when
we
first
came,
it
was
actually
my
mother
was
a
California
girl
but
was
from
San
Francisco,
but
my
dad
did
not
like
living
in
San
Francisco
because
it
was
too
foggy
and
too
cold.
So
he
came
down
here
and
he
saw
that
there
was
an
opportunity
we
actually
were
told
by
some
other
people.
F
That
says:
maybe
you
shouldn't
go
down
outside
of
San
Francisco,
because
there's
hardly
no
Asians
and
hardly
no
Chinese.
There
you're
going
to
be
discriminated
against
and
you
know
not
treat
it
right.
But
luckily
my
dad
didn't
listen
to
them
and
he
was
actually
of
the
the
one
that
you
know
took
that
as
an
opportunity
and
as
a
chance
to
do
something
different.
So
so
we
he
was
in
the
real
estate
business
and
with
all
the
vacancies
he
went
around
and
asked
the
other
Property
Owners
if
they
wanted
to
rent
their
place.
F
And
of
course
they
said,
oh
yeah,
we'll
rent
and
what
he
did
was
he
advertised
in
the
Chinese
newspapers.
And
so
he
put
in
ads
that
there's
vacancies
in
Mountain
View
and
you
know,
there's
opportunities
for
opening
any
type
of
business
that
you
want
and
he
actually
got
quite
a
few
people
interested
because
comparably
the
people
that
were
in
San
Francisco.
The
rents
were
much
higher
much
lower
here,
and
so
they
saw
that
as
an
opportunity.
F
And
so
that
kind
of
Started,
With,
You,
Know,
One,
Chinese
restaurant
coming
down
and
then
pretty
soon
another
Chinese
restaurant
coming
down
and
then
it
actually
expanded
from
the
the
restaurants
to
the
grocery
store,
easy
foods.
That's
there,
you
know
was
I,
think
one
of
the
first
grocery
stores
in
Mountain
View
that
sir
had
the
Chinese
Goods
outside
of
San
Francisco
and
then
and
then
there
was
another
grocery
store
called
Wing
Yun.
That
was
now
where
Ava's
is
and
then,
of
course,
there's
the
herb
store.
F
That's
still
there,
and
so
you
know
one
by
one.
The
Chinese
entrepreneurs
came
down
and
in
the
restaurant
business
grew
and
then,
of
course,
as
the
restaurant
owners
over
time
decided
to
sell
their
restaurants,
then
it
Diversified
from
just
Chinese
to
Italian
or
whatever
in
the
Indian,
and
as
it
is
now,
it's
it's
all
Diversified,
but
it
I.
F
A
Busy
evening
tonight,
with
multiple
events,
so
thank
you
for
coming
in
and
telling
your
story
I
think
that
it's
I
think
when
I
read
mountain
view,
history,
that's
one
of
the
missing
chapters
of
the
Revival
of
the
downtown
and
exactly
how
that
happened
when
we
were
in
hard
times.
So,
thank
you
again
for
showing
up
and
telling
your
story.
A
We
have
a
for
our
3.2
on
our
agenda,
which
is
our
affordable
housing
month.
Proclamation
we're
happy
to
be
joined
this
evening
by
representatives
from
the
Mountain
View,
tenants,
Coalition,
the
Community
Action
team
project,
Sentinel
Community
Legal
Services
of
East
Palo
Alto
Nova
works,
the
Santa
Clara
County
Office
of
Supportive
Housing,
the
community
health
awareness,
Council
and
Olga
Mello
and
Paula
Perez
on
behalf
of
the
solid,
oh
and
associ
I.
Think
I
mangled
your
name
on
behalf
of
the
solidarity
fund.
To
accept
this
Proclamation.
A
Okay,
so
this
this
one
is
a
very
long,
Proclamation
and
I
really
don't
know.
I
did
read
all
of
the
last
one,
but
this
one
says,
whereas
each
year
may
is
designated
as
affordable
housing
month
and
whereas
the
theme
for
2023
is
building
community
and
whereas
housing
is
a
basic
human
right.
And
yet
each
year
thousands
of
Silicon,
Valley
families
and
individuals
struggled
to
find
a
home.
A
Okay,
it
goes
on
more,
but
I'm
not
going
to
read
every
word
so
in
the
end
now,
therefore,
I
Alison
Hicks,
mayor
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Mountain
View,
do
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
May
as
affordable
housing
month
and
now
I
want
to.
If
I
can
find
you
all
I
want
to
present
this
to
the
three
of
you
so
that
you
can
come
up
and
and
say
some
words.
H
I
H
H
I
J
I
I
G
I
use
one
too,
thank
you
also,
Echo
the
words
of
my
colleagues
and
partners
in
crime,
because
we
did
it
and
we
will
continue
doing
it.
So
the
words
in
the
proclamation
really
was
very
well
choose,
so
explain
a
lot
why
we
are
here
and
what
we
continue
and
and
it's
a
struggle.
Everybody
has
been
very
great
contributor
to
this
success
squad
list.
G
The
way
that
we
are
now
but,
to
my
mind,
came
in
this
moment,
many
people
who
is
not
here
who
is
not
able
to
be
here
with
us,
is
no
few
people
really
remarkable
absence
in
this
group
and
one
of
them.
Everybody
knows
him
and
meets
him
tremendously,
and
all
of
you
know
him
and
I.
Maybe
when
I
said
these
words,
you
will
know
who
I'm
talking
about,
we
have
the
moral
responsibility.
Do
you
remember
how
Lopez
well,
he
is
with
us
and
he
will
be
with
us
and
he's
a
spirit.
G
G
A
A
G
A
A
K
L
C
A
Well,
I
think
that's
going
to
be
hard
to
top,
but
if
there's
anyone
else
who
wants
to
say
a
word
or
two,
this
is
the
last
called.
Is
there
someone
else
who
wants
to
say
a
word
or
two?
No
okay?
So
then
we
will
close
public
comment
on
this
item.
Thank
you
all
for
coming
and
you're
welcome
to
stay
for
the
rest
of
the
meeting.
If
you,
if
you'd
like
to.
A
A
M
M
Last
year
a
you
know,
a
12-year
Mega
drought,
so
that
has
meant
that
all
of
us
have
had
to
step
up
to
the
plate
as
personal
water
users
and
managers
or
managers
of
our
own
water
to
do
what
we
could
to
reduce
our
usage
so
that
there
would
be
enough
for
us
all
to
share,
and
indeed
the
the
members
of
our
community
heard
that
call
and
did
that
and
I
just
really
think
it's
important
that
we,
you
know
that
to
thank
you
all
to
thank
everybody.
All
of
us
together
really
for
doing
that.
M
But
now
we
have
had
this
kind
of
gangbuster
water
year.
We've
had
almost
I
think
about
150
percent
of
our
average
annual
rainfall.
Depending
on
how
you
measure
it,
some
people
think
it's
almost
200
percent,
and
so
this
year
we're
in
in
good.
You
know
in
good
stead
and
we
don't
want
to-
we
don't
want.
Even
though
we
live
in
a
water,
a
sort
of
a
water
scarce
environment.
We
have,
you
know
we
have
six
dry
months
and
six
wet
months,
all
the
time
that
we
have
to
work
around.
M
We
don't
want
people
to
be
taken
advantage
of
and
feel
like
they're
asked
to
do
things
when
we're
not
having
a
drought
that
they
shouldn't
be.
So
that's
why,
when
we
rescind
this
water
shortage,
we're
not
saying
you
know,
we
have
all
the
water
in
the
world.
Let
your
faucets
run
non-stop,
not
that
it's
just
that
we're
not
in
a
crisis
situation
anymore,
and
we
can
all
breathe
a
little
bit
and
that's
really
good,
but
the
message
still
is
use
Water
Wisely.
It's
just
that.
M
Fortunately,
what's
wise
to
do
this
year
is
much
better
than
what
was
wise
to
you
last
year.
So
that's
just
what
I
wanted
to
say
and,
and
particularly
we
should.
We
should
thank
the
the
public
works
department
and
the
water
department
for
for
doing
all
the
things
that
they
need
to
do
needed
to
do
to
make
sure
that
our
system
worked
properly.
So
thank
you.
A
So
it
sounds
like
you
are
not
pulling

just

other
council

the

and
Council
report
from

meeting
Calpers
publish
their
yearly
Actuarial,
which
showed
that
the
employee,
normal
contribution
for
safety,
pepper
members
is
increasing
from
11.25
to
12
percent
in
fiscal
year
2023-24..
P
For
this
change
to
go
into
effect
for
safety
members
that
are
not
represented
by
a
memorandum
of
understanding,
the
city
needs
to
request
a
contract.
Amendment
process
be
started
with
Calpers,
the
first
step
being
that
Calpers
requires
that
current
resolutions
pertaining
to
the
cost
share
for
unrepresented
safety
employees
to
reflect
the
appropriate
amounts.
Q
A
A
A
T
Consistent
with
that
General
plan,
the
precise
plan
also
included
an
overall
cap
on
office
development
and
the
bonus
floor
area
ratio
program
was
created
and
designed
as
a
competitive
process,
which
allows
project
proponents
to
request
that
additional
office
square
footage
in
exchange
for
providing
more
Community
benefits
in
May
2015.
The
city
council
considered
10
bonus
office,
far
applications
and
they
allocated
2.2
million
square
feet
of
bonus
far
to
four
office
projects
and
one
hotel.
Since
then,
three
of
the
projects
are
completed
or
under
construction.
T
Then
in
2017,
the
city
council
adopted
a
comprehensive
update
to
that
precise
plan
which
allowed
up
to
9850
residential
units
and
2.227
million
unapproved
net
new
square
feet.
So
at
that
time
the
bonus
residential,
far
review
guidelines
were
also
revised
and
it
added
the
provision
of
new
residential
uses
as
a
Criterion
when
evaluating
bonus,
far
applications
on
March
23
2021,
the
city
council
authorized
a
bonus,
far
re-qualification
request
for
approximately
1.3
million
square
feet
of
net
new
office
floor
area.
This
is
included
in
Google's
North,
Bay
shore
master
plan
and
on
December
7th
2021.
T
The
city
council
adopted
revisions
to
the
bonus,
far
review
guidelines
which
included
new
criteria
and
thresholds.
Council
also
directed
staff
to
initiate
another
process
to
solicit
applications
for
the
remaining
250
000
square
feet
of
office
floor
area.
So
the
city
issued
a
request
for
proposal
last
year
in
October,
and
we
accepted
applications
until
January
of
this
year.
T
The
project
is
located
at
1808
North,
Shoreline
Boulevard.
The
applicant
proposes
a
six-story
office
building
that
is
comprised
of
a
hundred
and
eight
thousand
856
square
feet
of
office,
four
thousand
square
feet
of
ground
floor,
retail
that
fronts,
North
Shoreline,
three
levels
of
above
ground
parking
and
outdoor
rooftop
Terraces
proposed
in
the
top
three
levels.
The
site
is
currently
built
with
about
22,
000
square
feet,
office
building
and
the
proposing
net
new
office
floor
area
about
87
000
square
feet.
This
is
an
increase
of
1.0,
far
floor
area
ratio.
T
So
this
is
the
proposed
project
site.
It
is
located
between
Charleston,
Road
and
Plymouth
Street
on
the
west
side
of
North
Shoreline.
It
is
currently
shown
red
on
the
map.
The
property
is
located
within
the
Joaquin,
complete
neighborhood
area
and
the
core
character
area
of
the
precise
plan.
The
site
is
currently
surrounded
by
office
and
research
and
development
uses,
and
it
is
surrounded
on
all
sides
by
the
proposed
Google
North
Bay
shore
master
plan.
As
seen
on
the
image
here
so
I'll
go
over
the
bonus
far
tiers.
The
precise
plan
allows
a
base
base.
T
T
Tier
1
requires
both
a
lead,
Platinum,
building
and
public
benefit
or
District
Improvement
project,
specifically
focusing
on
Transportation.
The
tier
2
and
tier
3s
require
providing
higher
performance,
Green,
Building,
zero
net,
new
Green,
Building
or
public
benefit
or
District
Improvement
projects
shown
in
the
second
column.
Here
you
can
see
the
project
request
up
to
the
1.25,
far
meaning
the
tier
3
and
so
they're,
proposing
a
lead,
Platinum
building
with
a
public
benefit
funding,
contribution
of
1.9
million
dollars
towards
transportation
and
affordable
housing
to
qualify
for
the
tiers
shown
on
the
slide.
T
Unlike
other
precise
plans
that
have
established
Community
benefit
contribution,
values
per
square
feet
requested
North
Bayshore
does
not
have
a
minimum
dollar
amount.
Instead,
projects
are
reviewed
on
a
case-by-case
basis
and
in
comparison
to
other
projects
that
have
applied
so
the
applicant
is
proposing
a
public
benefit
value
of
27.27
per
square
foot.
This
is
similar
to
the
east
wisman
precise
plan,
which
has
a
requirement
of
27.25
cents
per
square
foot.
T
The
bonus
far
reviewed
guidelines,
which
is
shown
in
appendix
F
of
the
precise
plan
states
that
proposals
must
meet
the
following
three
thresholds
to
be
considered
for
a
bonus,
far
allocation,
so
the
first.
The
project
is
located
in
the
Joaquin
complete
neighborhood
area
and
meets
this
first
requirement
and
then
the
other
two
I
will
discuss
in
the
following
slides.
T
First,
this
qualifying
threshold
has
two
parts.
It's
underlined
on
the
screen
for
you
to
see.
First
is
providing
units
on
site
or
off-site
and
or
through
Partnerships,
and
the
second
part
is
achieving
the
housing
Targets
in
the
precise
plan
in
reviewing
part
one,
the
project
provides
funding
for
affordable
housing
instead
of
providing
constructed
units.
The
provision
of
the
funding
may
not
be
a
direct
partnership.
However,
it
does
facilitate
a
city
partnership
with
affordable
housing
developers
to
be
used
on
dedicated
sites
expected.
You
know
in
the
area
or
land
purchased
by
affordable
housing
developers.
T
This
meets
the
spirit
and
intent
of
the
guidelines,
as
the
funding
does
facilitate
the
city
to
partner
with
affordable
housing.
Developers,
however,
for
the
second
part
of
this
threshold,
there's
no
clear
quantitative
metric
that
is
outlined
in
the
guidelines,
so
it
doesn't
Define
how
a
project
actually
achieves
the
housing
targets.
So,
unlike
again,
unlike
East
wisman
precise
plan,
which
requires
three
units
per
a
thousand
square
feet
of
office
requested.
T
This
includes
268
units
needing
land
and
1162
where
land
has
been
dedicated,
but
construction
funds
are
needed
and
then
you
can
see
in
the
last
column,
the
project
is
requesting
about
3.9
percent
of
the
employment
targets
and
is
proposing
to
provide
the
city
with
funding
to
facilitate
2.9
percent
of
the
affordable
housing.
Target.
T
Slide
shows
their
proposal
so
by
using
an
estimated
City
subsidy
of
about
of
125
000
per
unit.
The
proposed
amount
of
funding
would
result
in
approximately
57.6
units,
which
is
the
28.
The
2.9
percent
I
mentioned
before
of
the
precise
plan
Target
of
1970,
affordable
units
and
the
project
is
requesting
3.9
percent
of
the
net
new
square
feet
of
office.
T
In
addition
to
receiving
bonus
office
far,
the
projects
must
demonstrate
substantial
compliance
with
the
14
guiding
principles
that
are
identified
in
the
precise
plan
to
support
the
plan's
vision
and
the
development
standards.
In
the
precise
plan
of
these
14
13
are
relevant
to
the
project,
site
and
scope.
Overall,
the
project
is
generally
in
compliance
with
these
principles.
T
So
if
the
project
is
authorized,
the
trip
reduction
standards
based
on
those
amendments
to
the
precise
plan
pursuant
to
the
2021
circulation
study,
will
be
applied
and
enforced
through
a
condition
of
approval
for
this
project.
In
addition,
the
applicant
will
be
required
to
escalate
the
proposed
funding
based
on
inflation.
It
will
be
increased
by
the
construction
costs
index
CCI
each
year
until
the
payment
is
made.
Additionally,
housing
impact
fees
counted
in
the
Project's
housing
funding
will
be
based
on
the
rates
applicable
on
the
date.
T
They
are
paid,
and
this
is
a
slide
work
over
the
clarity
and
changes
in
the
north.
The
bonus
far
review
guidelines
So,
based
on
this
experience
that
we've
taken
this
project
through
the
bonus,
far
application
process.
There
is
a
range
of
possible
interpretations
of
the
guideline.
Language
and
staff
recommends
updating
the
bonus,
far
review
guidelines,
specifically
the
North
Bay
Shore
guidelines
could
be
updated
to
provide
more
clarity
to
applicants
and
staff
similar
to
language
in
the
East
wisman
precise
plan,
which
requires
a
direct
quantitative
jobs
and
housing
linkage.
T
The
first
is
the
California
Environmental
Quality
act,
SQL
doesn't
apply
since
the
City
council's
action
is
not
a
project,
as
defined
by
sequa
number.
Two
consider
the
request
and
if
authorized
staff
will
return
with
a
resolution
for
adoption
and
number
three
direct
staff
to
update
the
North
Bay
Shore
precise
plan
bonus
far
review
guidelines
to
provide
clarity.
That
concludes
my
presentation.
Thank
you.
Thank.
T
U
Mayor
Hicks
and
members
of
the
city
council,
my
name
is
Jeff
Morris
and
I
own
a
property
at
1808,
North,
Shoreline
Boulevard,
my
family's
family
purchased
the
property
in
the
early
1980s
and
built
the
existing
one-story
building.
We've
been
working
with
staff
over
the
past
several
years
in
hopes
of
having
an
opportunity
to
participate
in
the
city's
vision
for
the
Redevelopment
of
the
North
Bay
Shore.
We're
excited
to
present
this
proposal.
Tonight
we
are
asking
for
authorization
of
69
668
square
feet
of
bonus.
U
Far
not
the
net
new
number
of
87
000
square
feet
to
allow
for
the
development
of
a
new
six-story
office
building
of
108
856
square
feet.
Our
goal
is
to
create
a
boutique
building
with
exceptional
Design
Center
on
worker
well-being
and
sustainability.
We
worked
with
Google's
design
team
and
we'll
make
sure
that
our
building
fits
contextually
within
their
plan.
The
project
also
includes
four
thousand
square
feet
of
retail
active
uses
on
the
ground
floor
in
terms
of
community
benefits
and
housing.
We
appreciate
the
flexibility.
U
Council
has
provided
for
smaller
Property
Owners
to
meet
the
housing
threshold.
The
idea
of
partnering
with
the
city,
through
the
contribution
of
funding
to
support
your
affordable
housing
needs,
makes
sense
for
smaller
properties
like
myself,
that
do
not
have
the
ability
to
dedicate
land
or
build
housing
on
site.
The
city
will
be
getting
Seven
Acres
from
Google
and
additional
land
from
sobrato
and
will
need
funding
to
subsidize
these
affordable
projects.
U
In
total,
the
project
will
contribute
9
million
seven
hundred
sixty
thousand
dollars
of
community
benefit
funds
and
impact
fees
for
housing
and
transportation,
which
will
be
increased
by
an
index
of
the
CCI.
Over
the
past
few
weeks,
we've
been
working
collaboratively
with
the
city
staff
over
the
funding
package
for
the
project.
Based
on
these
discussions,
we
increase
our
offer
for
fundable
the
funding
the
affordable
housing
by
one
million
dollars.
The
project
will
contribute
7.2
million
dollars
for
affordable
housing,
which
includes
4.7
million
in
community
benefit
funds
and
2.5
million
housing
impact
fees.
U
The
funding
will
help
subsidize
construction
of
58
new,
affordable
housing
units.
The
project
will
also
contribute
2
million
five
hundred
sixty
thousand
dollars
to
Transportation
improvements,
including
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
community
benefits
for
transportation.
I'm
very
proud
of
the
project.
The
community
benefits
proposal
is
robust
and
in
line
with
other
bonus,
far
projects
on
a
per
square
foot
basis,
with
more
than
double
the
community
benefit
fees
of
City's.
U
Other
precise
plans,
the
Project's,
4.9
million
contribution
and
Community
benefits
for
housing
and
transportation
is
seventy
dollars
and
33
cents
per
square
foot
of
bonus
of
AR,
which
is
more
than
double
Google's.
Community
benefits
of
32.99
per
square
foot
of
bonus.
Far
their
suggestion.
The
staff
report
that
the
project
should
be
required
to
contribute
even
more
for
housing
up
to
maybe
9.6
million
dollars,
based
upon
a
methodology
of
using
net
new
square
footage,
as
opposed
to
my
request
for
bonus
far.
U
That
is
not
in
the
bonus
of
AR
guidelines.
Nor
was
it
in
the
proposals.
The
value
of
office
is
currency,
for
housing
has
shifted
dramatically,
post
covid.
This
is
a
very
expensive
project
with
lead,
platinum
and
other
design
requirements,
and
the
economics
are
extremely
tight.
We
feel
that
our
proposal
is
strong,
meets
the
bonus,
far
guidelines
and
is
fair
and
Equitable.
The
staff
references
a
20
Target
for
affordable
housing,
which
is
probably
not
achievable
since
Google's,
now
only
committing
15
percent
under
the
status
methodology
and
assuming
a
15,
affordable,
housing
Target
instead
of
20
percent.
U
Our
project's
58
units
would
be
3.9
percent
of
the
1478
units
and
therefore
equal
to
the
3.9
percent
of
net
new
office
square
footage
for
receiving
authorization.
Tonight
we
will
work
we'll
start
work
immediately
on
the
preparation
of
a
master
plan
and
development
agreement
as
part
of
the
development
agreement.
U
We'll
also
offer
additional
public
benefits,
such
as
public
art
and
active
use,
assistance
program,
which
would
include
the
funding
for
the
retail
subsidized
tenants
improvements
in
rent
since
2015
the
city
has
allocated
almost
all
of
the
bonus
of
the
art
at
Google
and
other
large
landowners,
and
only
250
000
square
feet
remain
we're
asking
for
a
very
small
amount,
69
668
square
feet
or
just
1.99
of
the
original
3.5
million
square
feet
of
bonus
far.
We
support
the
city's
vision
and
hope
the
council
will
allow
us
to
be
part
of
it.
V
Thank
you
Jeff
good
evening
counselors.
My
name
is
Bob
Perry
architect
with
Gensler
here
tonight,
representing
a
larger
and
more
broad,
diverse
team
of
design
professionals.
So
we're
excited
to
be
here
tonight
to
share
our
proposal
and
our
point
of
view
about
how
we're
amplifying
and
dreaming
into
the
precise
plan,
as
well
as
the
Google
master
plan.
I,
think
I
understand.
I
should
prompt,
slides
yeah.
V
So
next
slide
please.
So,
as
we
said
as
we
started
our
design
process,
we
really
leaned
into
the
guiding
principles
of
the
North
Shore
precise
plan.
Among
many
goals
we
actively
sought
to
complete
the
neighborhood
and
create
walkable
and
active
streets,
and
so
this
is
kind
of
starting
large
picture
right.
Looking
at
how
do
we
fit
into
the
context
we
find
ourselves
at
1808
as
a
significant
site
within
the
the
Google
master
plan,
a
great
contributor
to
the
vision,
specifically
within
the
vision?
V
There's
some
key
features
right:
the
the
the
key
Corners
we
find
ourselves
sitting
between
that
right,
a
great
contributor
to
the
the
master
plan
itself,
along
with
the
active
edges
and
frontages
that
are
planned
throughout
our
process.
We
did
in
fact
work
with
the
Google
design
team
to
make
sure
that
our
outcomes
were
fulfilling
the
vision
that
had
been
set
up.
V
V
The
next
slide,
taking
a
closer
look,
we've
been
very
sensitive
to
how
we're
designing
and
fitting
into
the
the
plan,
and
particularly
the
public
realm.
We
represent
the
opportunity
to
make
significant
connection
not
only
along
Shoreline,
but
also
the
Western
Edge,
so
we
find
ourselves
a
critical
link
within
the
greater
planning
of
of
the
the
work
done
so
far
on
the
next
slide.
V
What
we
do
now
is
with
with
all
of
that
in
mind.
Our
building
starts
to
take
shape
so
again
we're
paying
great
attention
to
the
edges,
not
only
Shoreline,
but
also
the
Western
Edge
thinking
of
how
people
move
thinking
about
the
building
form
the
building
above
level.
Two
sets
back
that
draws
people
outside
brings
them
to
the
edges,
brings
people
out
to
engage
with
the
street.
V
Those
setbacks
also
bring
daylight
deeper
into
the
building,
create
a
more
sustainable
workplace
and,
what's
more
on
the
upper
right,
you
can
see.
We've
set
back
to
create
more
Terraces
on
on
the
Joaquin
Grove
side,
further
activating
that
space
with
the
tenant
activity.
Next,
please
so
taking
a
closer
look
at
the
ground
floor.
Thinking
about
the
specific
plan
goals
of
active
Frontage,
we
find
ourselves
proposing
active
uses
on
the
ground
floor
along
Shoreline,
creating
a
landscape,
that's
active
with
use
and
spaces
for
people
to
linger
and
take
respite.
V
The
Western
Edge
is
a
very
intentional
connection
from
Joaquin
Grove
down
to
the
portal
and
again
a
long
walking
Grove
on
the
upper
right.
You
can
start
to
see
how
the
building
represents
and
has
a
relationship
to
that
open
space
and
the
public
Realm.
Next,
please
and
the
the
master
plan
has
evolved
a
little
bit
through
our
process,
but
we're
flexible.
So
in
particular,
this
is
a
zoom
and
looking
at
the
southwest
corner
of
our
site,
we've
expanded
our
landscape.
We've
expanded
the
opportunity
for
the
public
to
engage
as
the
portal
has
evolved.
V
So
all
of
this
is
wrapped
up
into
kind
of
a
warm
modernism
architecture
right,
we're
intentionally
moving
away
from
an
all-glass
cold
office
building.
This
is
rich
in
material,
it's
rich
in
texture
that
texture
provides
Sun,
shading
and
glare
reduction
for
the
workplace.
So
everything
is
working
together
to
create
a
holistic
design
solution
on
the
next
slide.
We
start
to
zoom.
In
a
little
bit,
we
start
to
appreciate
how
our
building
defines
the
edges.
It
starts
to
contribute
and
fulfill
all
of
the
landscape
and
open
space
requirements
on
the
next
slide.
V
We
sort
of
continue
to
come
down
now
we're
at
eye
level
and
start
to
appreciate
how
the
architecture
defines
the
street
wall.
You
can
start
to
see
how,
in
this
corner,
the
building
sweeps
away.
People
are
able
to
come
out
and
activate
the
frontage.
There's
public
art,
there's
well-definite,
well-defined,
walkways
cycling
routes,
there's
different
spaces
of
scale
for
people
to
engage
the
ground
floor.
Retail
is
highly
transparent.
It's
very
inviting
it's
warm!
It's
cafes,
it's
cultural!
It's
Community
opportunities!
It
also
bends
around
the
corner
to
engage
the
open
space
next
slide.
V
V
The
workplace
features
are
not
only
there
to
attract
a
world-class
tenant,
but
these
building
features
following
the
the
Google
master
plan
guidelines.
These
building
features
help
to
engage
and
make
a
connection
to
the
adjacent
spaces,
primarily
the
public
Realm
we're
considering
doing
this
out
of
mass
Timber
again
we're
we're
moving
toward
a
highly
sustainable
design
solution,
a
world-class
building
that
attracts
a
world-class
tenant,
so
we're
thrilled
here
to
be
here
tonight
to
show
our
design
proposal.
V
E
Thank
you,
mayor
I
have
a
few
questions,
so
the
first
is
Staff
shared
that
the
typical
subsidy
provided
for
affordable
housing
by
the
city
is
around
125
000.
A
unit
I
asked
this
question
in
the
briefing,
so
it
shouldn't
be
too
much
of
a
surprise,
but
does
that
apply
also
to
subsidies
provided
for
affordable
housing
on
land
owned
by
the
city?.
X
But
at
that
time
we
had
the
we
had
the
advantage
of
having
measure
a
funding
that
that
almost
replicated
city
funding
in
cases
where
previous
to
measure
a
funding
the
city
has
provided
over
250
000
a
unit
when
when
sites
have
not
been
included,
so
our
estimate
was,
we
don't
have
an
alternative
to
measure
a
we
have
dedicated
sites.
So
we
expect
a
city
funding
of
approximately
125
000
until
another's
funding
source
is
found.
Do.
X
X
E
E
X
X
E
Y
S
X
E
M
Yeah
I'm
a
little
confused
by
the
the
description
of
the
or
the
money.
The
the
dollar
value
given
for
the
community
benefit
for
square
foot,
I
thought
I
heard
you
say
that
it
was
27.27.
A
square
foot
and
I
thought
I
heard
Mr
Morris
say
that
it
was
seventy
dollars
and
thirty
cents
a
square
foot.
That's
quite
a
discrepancy.
M
W
Sure
I,
the
the
the
27
per
square
foot,
is
based
on
the
bonus,
far
tiers
in
the
precise
plan,
so
in
their
application
they
have
prescribed
this
1.9
million
dollars
to
the
bonus,
far
tiers
in
the
precise
plan.
That
is
the
purpose
for
that
1.9
million
dollars,
and
so
in
the
precise
plan.
The
bonus
far
is
a
a
threshold
above
which
that
there's
contributions
of
public
benefits
and
on
other
Community
benefits
and
and
other
requirements,
and
so
that
is
related
to
the
60
for
I
think
thousand
square
feet
of.
W
M
W
M
M
R
R
The
2.9
percent
of
the
affordable
housing
Target,
while
the
net
new
office
is
about
3.9
percent
and
just
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
hearing
is
you
know
without
the
jobs
linkage
fee
fee
here,
where
we're
seeing
a
little
bit
of
I,
guess
discrepancy,
and
so
staff
can
maybe
expand
upon
the
the
letter
we
received,
and
that
would
be
helpful.
Thank
you.
W
C
W
If
you,
if
you
use
that
number,
then
we
cannot
meet
The
Targets
in
the
precise
plan,
because
the
only
the
net
new
is
going
to
get
us
to
meet
The
Targets
in
the
precise
plan,
if
it
re,
goes
up
up
consistently
with
the
with
the
the
affordable
housing.
So
that's
the
distinction.
That's
that
staff's
response
to
the
the
the
the
the
letter.
C
R
And
then
I
guess
a
follow-up
question
on
that.
I
think
that
part
of
what
I've
been
hearing
is
a
kind
of
correlation
or
comparison
to
the
Google
master
plan,
which
we
have
yet
to
see
so
I
I
feel
for
for
myself.
Personally,
it's
a
little
apples
to
oranges
because
I
don't
know
what
we're
gonna
see
on
June
to
13th.
R
But
if
we
were
to
go
forward
in
one
of
the
recommendations
was
potentially
looking
at
a
master
plan
with
the
applicant.
Is
that
something
where
we
could
have?
Maybe
a
discussion
on
the
the
precise
plan
and
how
the
proposed
master
plan
of
the
applicant
would
fit
in
their
puzzle?
Piece
versus
compare
comparing
Master
plans
with
which
we
have
not
seen
yet
that,
if
that,
thank
you.
R
W
R
I
so
I
we
have
the
North
Bay
Shore
precise
plan.
We
have
an
applicant
that
it
wants
to
go
forward
and
is
saying
that
they'd
like
to
propose
a
master
plan
which
we
have
yet
to
see
comparing
themselves
to
another
master
plan
with
which
we
have
yet
to
see,
and
so
for
myself
I'm
trying
to
provide
trying
to
as
we're
discussing
potentially
looking
at
guidelines
and
talking
about
potential
authorization
trying
to
find
a
way
to
bring
maybe
some
proportionality
to
the
discussion
and
so
I
I'm
looking
to
staff
on
should
authorization
go
forward
tonight.
X
Thank
you
that
that
was
very
helpful.
Councilmember
I
think
one
of
our
responses
to
the
questions
kind
of
Head
Upon.
That
fact,
comparing
this
project
to
the
Google
master
plan,
is
like
comparing
apples
to
oranges,
because
this
project
is
proposing
an
office
building
and
in
order
to
meet
the
qualifying
thresholds,
they're
providing
funds
to
the
city,
not
units,
but
just
funds.
X
The
Google
master
plan
is
coming
in
providing
housing,
open
space,
affordable
housing
sites
which
really
meets
a
lot
of
the
community
targets,
and
so
they
honestly
can't
be
compared,
but
we
did
provide
just
basic
comparison
when
you
compare
the
the
net
new
square
feet
for
each
project
with
the
actual
amount
under
the
Community
benefit
to
meet
those
bonus,
far
tiers.
The
Google
master
plan
does
provide
close
to
37
Square
dollars
per
square
foot.
X
When
you
compare
this
project
at
27,
and
we
also
wanted
to
say
that
they,
they
achieved
different
levels
of
affordable
housing
targets
and
open
space
targets
that
can't
be
compared.
They
actually
provide
7
000
units
for
one
1.3
million
square
feet
of
net
new
office,
whereas
this
project
is
providing
to
three
thousand
three
million
dollars
towards
that,
and
when
you
combine
the
impact
fees,
the
three
million
dollars
and
the
bonus
far
tiers.
X
That's
when
you
get
the
number
of
units
this
project
is
helping
to
fund.
So
you
have
to
compare
we're,
not
we're
not
actually
calculating
the
impact
fees
provided
by
Google
versus
everything
else,
when
we,
when
we're
putting
that
together.
So
it's
a
little
bit
different
and
that's
why
we
say
apples
and
oranges.
X
In
fact,
these
projects
were
were
required
or
or
Were
Meant,
to
help
us
get
to
that
20,
because
the
projects
that
provided
units
in
open
space
were
only
required
to
provide
15
and
that's
why
we're
comparing
it
to
the
20
Target
and
the
15
really
wouldn't
apply
here.
Unless
they
provided
units,
in
which
case
they
would
be
required
to
provide
15,
affordable
housing.
So
that
sort
of
tells
you
why
we're
using
the
20,
affordable,
housing
Target,
then
deriving
from
that.
X
What
we're
telling
council
is
they're
asking
for
3.9
of
the
net
new
square
feet,
the
currency
that
was
left
to
be
able
to
create
the
complete
Community
when
the
precise
spend
was
adopted
and
they
meet
2.9
of
the
affordable
housing
Target.
When
you
consider
that
the
city
would
use
funds
to
partner
with
affordable
housing
developers
so
because
this
precise
plan
doesn't
have
specific
requirements,
we
have
used
this
process
to
help
the
council
way
to
what
extent
this
project
helps
to
meet
the
targets.
R
X
S
W
We
haven't
talked
specifically
about
the
length
of
the
D.A.
Obviously
the
council
would
be
able
to
approve
any
duration
of
a
D.A
and
we
didn't
want
to
kind
of
get
out
ahead
of
any
negotiation
process
or
or
Council
decision
on
that
at
this
stage.
I'm
not
aware
of
any
tenants
at
this
point
in
the
in
the
you
know,
looking
that
far
ahead
but
yeah,
you
may
possibly
ask
the
the
applicant.
U
U
U
A
A
Again
as
council
member
Mattituck
said,
I
I
realize
that
we're
talking
about
bonus
far
right
now,
but
I
do
have
and
that
what
you're
we're
seeing
here
is
only
a
rendering
but
but
I
do
have
a
couple
questions,
but
I
I,
actually
like
the
architecture
and
I,
do
have
a
couple
questions
about.
You
said
there
was
cross-laminated
Timber
on
the
inside.
What's
I
know
it's
a
rendering,
but
what
is
what
do
you
envision
on
the
outside.
V
On
the
outside
yeah
we've
talked
about
a
few
things
could
be
a
terracotta
material.
This
again
is
kind
of
something
that
brings
that
authentic
materiality
and
warmth
to
a
building
facade,
there's
alternatives
to
that
highly
sustainable
ultra
high
performance,
concrete
material
that
also
brings
a
kind
of
robust
character
allows
us
to
really
dial
the
color
and
warmth
of
the
building
as
well.
So
we've
got
a
couple
options
that
we'd
like
to
explore.
V
A
This
too
I'm,
not
okay.
The
the
second
thing
is
that
I,
when
I
talk
to
the
applicant's
representative,
she
told
me
that
there
may
be
various
kinds
of
tenants.
It
may
not
be
a
typical
office
tenant,
it
could
be
biotech
or
something
else
do
you
know
if
it
were
a
different
type
of
tenant
than
a
typical
office
tenant.
What
kind
of
changes
would
you
have
to
make
in
this
conceptual
design,
like
what
sort
of
just
the
big
picture
kind
of
changes.
V
I
I
think
I
would
venture
guess
was
I
I,
don't
anticipate
any
significant
changes
to
the
building
infrastructure
is
how
it's
drawn.
So
you
know
if
if,
for
example,
if
it
became
some
sort
of
dry
lab
use
mate,
maybe
some
loading
that
that
happens,
but
I
I
don't
see
a
big
change
from
what's
drawn
today
in
the
in
the
kind
of
operational
side
of
the
plans.
Z
U
Don't
think
it
doesn't
change
too
significantly
I
happen
to
like
it
as
well.
We
spent
a
long
time
working
on
this
project.
I
think
we're
in
a
good
position
for
a
design
point
of
view
and
I'm
pretty
excited
about
it.
So
you
know
depending
upon
the
needs
of
the
tenant,
but
the
the
look
and
feel
is
not
going
to
change.
Yeah.
A
And
then
for
staff,
so
kind
of
a
follow-up
on
council
member
Ramirez
question
about
the
flexibility
of
the
community
benefit
funds.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
they
can
also
be
used
outside
of
North
Bayshore
if
it
were
affordable
housing.
You
know
we
have
a
need
for
affordable
housing
in
North
Bay
Shore,
but
you
know
if
an
opportunity
arose
somewhere
else.
X
A
A
You
know
every
time
we
develop
office,
there's
a
whole
set
of
other
infrastructure
that
we
need
to
accompany
it,
and
that
would
be
housing
which
used
to
be
when
I
was
in
planning
School
kind
of
optional,
because
we
didn't
listen
to
hcd,
but
it's
no
longer
optional
and
then
also
Schools
transportation
parks
and
so
forth.
So
my
main
question
you've
been
answering
this
in
different
ways
tonight
and
also
when
I
got
my
briefing.
But
do
you
think
that
this
this
amount
provides
the
infrastructure
that
the
jobs
generated
would
would
demand?
Basically.
W
Well,
we
do.
We
did
conduct
the
Nexus
study
for
transportation
and
utilities,
and
so
they
would
be
providing
fees
to
address
the
the
impact
for
those
that
infrastructure
the
additional
200
000
that
they
would
provide
is
for
Transportation
could
go
to
other
similar
projects
in
in
the
North
Bay
Shore
area.
We
don't
have
a
in
the
guidelines.
We
don't
have
a
clear,
you
know
established
kind
of
quantity
of
for
every
job
we
need
such
and
such
open
space
or
for
every
job.
W
A
See
if
I
had
another
question,
oh
so
my
last
question
is
you
know
this
is
not
the
largest
office
project.
We
will
have
in
this
precise
plan
so,
but
would
it
set
precedent
for
other
users
of
the
program
before
we've
done
the
guidelines
that
we
would
somehow
be
more
married
to
than
we
might
like
to
be.
W
W
A
B
Okay,
may
I
speak,
yes,
yeah
I,
I
think
the
way
this
works
right
now
and
you
know
legally
I
think
that
Council
needs
to
consider
the
project
as
proposed
and
it's
kind
of
a
thumbs
up
or
thumbs
down
on
the
project
as
proposed.
We
would
need
to
go
back
and
you
know
work
with
staff
and
the
city
attorney's
office
to
consider
whether
or
not
you
know
anything
else
could
be
added
to
this
project.
M
Yes,
this
is
just
being
a
little
repetitive,
but
I
really
would
like
to
understand
better
about
what
would
be
included
in
the
guideline
update.
What
are
the
specific
things?
I
mean?
You
mentioned
some
things
that
are
analogous
to
what's
in
the
East
wissman
plan,
but
could
you
go
over
that
in
a
little
more
detail?
Please.
O
W
So
there's
not
this
question
around
you
know:
do
we
use
bonus
far,
do
we
use
net
net
new
floor
area
or
you
know
which
Target
are
we
trying
to
reach
or
anything
like
that
which
which
did
cause
a
lot
of
discussion
and
obviously
a
lot
of
questions
by
Council?
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
clear
from
the
outset
to
any
applicant.
W
Permit
and
then
further
they
are
guidelines,
as
it
says
in
the
title,
but
there
isn't
really
any
information
in
the
guidelines
themselves
about
how
that
discretion
or
flexibility
should
be
interpreted
or
used
either
in
terms
of
meeting
specific
thresholds
or
alternate
kind
of
additional
criteria.
That
may
be
that
the
that
the
applicant
may
want
to
offer
and
to
to
sweeten
the
pot
as
it
were,.
M
Thank
you
that
that
helps
so
it's.
It
seems
to
me
that
what
you're
saying
is
that
you've
identified
a
gap,
but
you
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
explore
the
details
of
what
that
Gap
is
yet
sufficiently
to
say
you
know
this
is
exactly
what
we're
going
to
do.
You
you
it's
just
that
you
know
that
this
process
needs
to
be
undertaken
exactly
got
it
thanks.
Q
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
guess,
along
along
those
lines
regarding
guidelines,
going
back
to
what
the
mayor
was
asking
like.
Traditionally,
we
have
not
required
Park
fees
and
schools.
Well,
we
can't
require
school
fees
on
Commercial
developments,
but
are
you
suggesting
or
that
we
would
explore
those
types
of
asks
or
requirements
and
future
developments
in
this
area
or
that.
Y
W
X
X
You
get
the
open
space,
you
get
the
affordable
housing
and
so
that's
a
very
clear
way
to
link
and
that's
probably
a
best
practice
that
we
have
learned
from
and
would
want
to
apply
here
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
the
East
wisman
precise
mine
actually
has
a
private
open
space
requirements
for
commercial
that
we
could
apply,
not
necessarily
Parkland,
but
just
you
know,
areas
that
are
available
to
the
public
to
use.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
good
best
practices
in
East
wisman
that
we
could
look
at
bringing
over
to
the
extent
feasible
great.
Q
W
Q
Remember
because
I
know
we
picked
this
number,
the
two
million
so
much
so
somewhat
square
footage
based
on
some
studies,
but
I
remember
there
was
a
range
and
there
was
the
possibility.
Should
we
expend
all
of
it
to
look
at
more
if
there
was
an
interest
or
need.
So
my
correction,
recalling
that
you
remember
the.
W
Floor
area,
the
two,
so
that
came
from
several
studies
during
the
during
the
general
plan
process
and
it
was
updated
during
the
2017,
precise
Plan
update
process
and
those
studies
were
based
both
on
kind
of
a
just
a
very
rough.
You
know
2030
build
out
number
as
well
as
some
Transportation
analyzes.
That
happened,
and
so
we've
been
further
refining
and
updating
those
Transportation
requirements
consistent
with
the
Envision
build
out
of
this.
Y
R
R
Great,
thank
you.
So
I
just
had
a
question
in
the
guidelines.
Under
the
criteria,
one
of
the
bullets
talks
about
an
amount
of
affordable
housing
that
exceeds
the
requirements
listed
in
the
North
Bayshore
precise
plan.
So
since
the
applicant
is
not
proposing
any
units,
instead
we're
evaluating
the
proposed
fee
that
would
go
towards
it
correct
and
so
the
calculation
that
we're
given
equals,
the
you
know,
58,
affordable
units
and
so
part
of
the
guideline
discussion
that
we
council
could
potentially
have
is
kind
of
how
to
address.
A
AA
Thank
you,
mayor
Hicks
and
the
steam
members
of
the
city
council,
I'm,
Peter,
Katz,
CEO
of
the
Mountain
View
Chamber
of
Commerce,
and
the
Chamber
is
consistently
voiced
in
support
of
intelligent
growth
in
the
North
Bay
Shore
region.
It
directly
supports
housing,
the
environment
and
Community
benefits
as
well.
AA
As
these
are
all
essential
to
health
and
well-being
of
our
economy
and
our
lifestyle,
we've
also
been
going,
we've
also
been
strong
supporters
of
local
engagement,
especially
by
small
businesses.
For
these
reasons,
we
support
the
1808
North
Shoreline
project
and
its
North
Bay
Shore
precise
plan
office
bonus
far
proposal.
AA
In
particular,
we
support
giving
smaller
Property
Owners
like
Jeff
Morris,
whose
family,
as
you
heard,
has
been
here
since
the
80s
the
opportunity
to
contribute
and
to
participate
in
the
vision
for
North
Bay
Shore.
We
believe
the
Morris
groups
per
project
and
their
request
for
a
bonus,
69
000
square
feet
of
bonus
far
is
compelling.
You
heard
the
numbers
it
provides
the
construction
of
58
units
of
affordable
housing,
which
the
city
needs
now
over
9.7
million
in
funding
to
the
city
with
4.7,
specifically
for
Community
benefits,
2.5
million
for
transportation.
AA
AA
The
chamber
urges
city
council
to
support
staff's
recommendation
to
authorize
the
bonus,
far
request
from
the
Morris
for
the
Morris
group,
it'll
mean
more
affordable,
housing
and
use
in
accordance
to
City
guidelines,
while
supporting
smaller
Property
Owners
active
participation
in
achieving
our
development
vision.
Thank
you
very
much.
Q
Q
Work
on
this
as
well.
I
do
like
the
architecture,
hopefully
it
stays,
but
given
that
we
are
doing
the
bonus
allocation
tonight,
I'll
try
to
just
focus
on
that
and
as
Mr
Katz
had
mentioned,
I
I
do
think
it
is
important
to
have
a
diversification
of
businesses
and
to
be
able
to
support
big
and
small
businesses,
and
so
this
project
I
believe,
does
both
I
think
that,
in
terms
of
the
housing
piece,
where
things
change
over
time
and
for
a
long
time,
we
had
funding
and
not
land,
now
we're
getting
more
land.
Q
I
think
we
learned
something
new
and
and
continue
to
improve
on
each
precise
plan.
So
that's
where
it's
I
think
it's
good
to
review
these
plans
once
in
a
while
and
then
try
to
implement
what
we
may
have
learned
earlier.
So
I
think
the
establishment
of
guidelines
moving
forward
will
be
very
helpful
and
important
to
do
so
with
that.
If
it's
okay
to
keep
the
motion,
I
know
there's
some
other
hands,
but
I
will
leave
continue
to
keep
the
motion
life
thanks.
A
N
N
I
had
to
I,
had
a
recent
vote
and
where
I
had
to
explain
to
the
community,
why
I
supported
office
space
and
it
was
difficult
for
me
and
I
get
we
we
set
aside
this
bonus
far
I
actually
remembered.
It
was
my
first
council
meeting
when
that
we
did
the
FAO
I
say
we,
but
when
the
city
did
their
far
bonus,
I
was
sitting
pretty
much
where
RT
is
but
like
on
the
floor,
because
there
wasn't
enough
seats
because
there
was
a
lot
of
interest
in
it.
N
Knowing
that
are
we
getting
what
we
want
out
of
this
office
space,
which
is
literally
the
currency
of
North,
Bay
Shore,
and
that's
why
I
struggle
I'm,
not
entirely
sure
if
I
feel
comfortable
supporting
the
motion
and
I
feel
like
I'm
an
odd
one
out,
unfortunately,
but
it
it
it's
strange.
I
I
really
do
struggle
with
with
this
project
and
this
allocation
I
I
asked
staff
before
when
we
were
having
our
our
briefing
like.
Why
did
we
knew
the
economic
conditions?
Aren't
that
great
right
now?
N
Why
did
we
bring
it
out
now,
and
it
was
my
understanding
that
the
applicant
really
wanted
to,
and
so
there's
that
feeling
of
maybe
we
should
strike
iron
while
it's
hot,
but
if
we're
not
getting
the
an
equal,
it
doesn't
feel
like
we're
getting
an
equal
amount
for
the
office
space,
we're
getting
the
equal
amount
of
housing
for
it,
which
is
why
the
item
three
and
the
recommendation
is
really
important
so
that
we
can
figure
out
how
to
do
that.
Linkage,
but
I
I
really
do
struggle
with
with
supporting
this.
A
R
You
know
the
amount
of
affordable
housing
that
that
exceeds
the
requirements
listed
in
the
North
Bayshore,
precise
plan
and
in
a
way,
I
feel
like
the
bonus.
Far
allocation
is
almost
like
a
gatekeeper.
It
needs
to
go
above
and
beyond,
and
so
I
really
want
to
see.
Redevelopment
in
the
North
Bay
Shore
see
Redevelopment
on
this
parcel
I
feel
like
every
iteration
of
the
project
has
gotten
better
on
the
site
and
I
think
they're
really
trying
to
work
with
the
overall
vision
for
the
area.
R
But
I
do
I
am
concerned
about
meeting
the
housing
that
our
community
has
asked
us
to
provide,
and
so
I
don't
know.
If
this
is
something
that
would
we
would
take
a
strong
motion
on
or
if
it's
just
something
that
I
could
say
will
move
forward
with
the
authorization
but
as
it
stands,
there's
no
timeline
given
and
some
of
my
colleagues
are
asking
about
timeline
and
I
feel
concerned
about
the
length
with
which
we
might
see
something
come
forward.
B
You
don't
have
to
stop.
I
was
just
going
to
address
some
of
your
questions
and
and
see
if
I
could
maybe
provide
counsel
some
options
if
you're
struggling
with
a
decision
tonight,
one
you
could
continue
this
item
and
give
staff
and
the
city
attorney's
office
an
opportunity
to
you
know,
work
with
the
applicant
and
to
work
through
a
few
things
to
see
if
we
can
come
up
with
some
additional
options
for
council's
consideration.
B
The
other
thing
that
you
could
do
is
you
could
direct
staff
to
amend
the
guidelines
and
go
back
out
and
issue
a
new
request
for
proposal
that
provides
more
clarity
on
what
you
are
seeking
in
proportionality.
If
that
is
if
that
is
the
struggle
here
this
evening,
so
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
that
you,
you
have
options,
but
you
know
one
maybe
simpler.
B
R
Okay,
so
I
don't
feel
prepared
to
make
a
substitute
motion
or
to
go
in
that
direction,
but
more
to
just
share
with
my
colleagues
the
things
that
I'm
thinking
about
and
just
truly
trying
to
dig
into
the
second
recommendation
and
explore.
You
know
the
authorization.
If
the
applicant's
hearing
some
concern
about
the
affordable
housing
contribution,
you
know
is
that
shared
with
other
colleagues.
I,
don't
know
so
at
this
point,
I
don't
feel
prepared
to
make
anything
else,
but
just
wanted
to
to
vocalize.
Q
Q
We've
allotted
and
I
think
that
needs
to
be
taken
into
consideration.
I
question:
why
we
didn't
have
other
applicants.
Part
I
wondered
if
it
is
because
what's
left
is
so
minimal
and,
frankly,
you
know
on
a
small
parcel
of
two
acres.
You
can't
build
housing
on
there
too,
so
we
have
to
be
very
realistic
and
I.
You
know
I
understand
how
much
we
need
housing,
but
we
just
please
be
mindful
that
you
know
we
do
need
businesses,
we
need
to
diversify
our
businesses.
Q
You
know
we're
kind
I'm
concerned
about
are
becoming
dependent
on
when
entity,
and
even
that
project
is
starting
to
change
and
morph
and
we're
not
getting
what
we
were
told
we
were
going
to
get
so.
I
just
want
to
be
very
mindful
of
that.
Moving
forward
that
we
continue
to
create
and
Foster
an
environment
that
is
conducive
to
businesses
wanting
to
come
here
and
grow.
Q
So
in
light
of
that,
I
think
I
believe
we
should
move
forward
with
this
tonight
and
I
will
say
that,
as
we
move
forward
with
the
guidelines
and
the
reason
why
I
asked
about
the
the
2.2
million
was
that
you
know
at
that
time.
12,
however
long
we
when
we
go
when
we
did
that,
we
had
said
that,
but
given
how
things
are
moving,
we
may
have
to
revisit
that
too,
because
I
don't
know
if
the
170
000
square
feet
is
really
going
to
be.
C
M
I
think
this
is
a
good
project
and
so
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
it.
But,
of
course
this
discrepancy
with
the
affordable
housing
is
is
of
concern.
But,
as
we've
talked
about
tonight,
we're
talking
about
the
bonus
far,
there
will
be
additional
times
for
us
to
talk
about
components
of
this
project,
moving
forward
so
I'm,
hoping
that
the
developer
has
heard
loud
and
clear
that
this
Council
really
cares
about
affordable
housing
and
I
hope
that
you
will
work
with
staff
to
maximize
the
amount
you
can
contribute
to
affordable
housing.
M
You
are
long-term
members
of
the
community.
You
know
how
important
this
is,
and
you
know,
for
instance,
one
of
the
things
we
talked
about
when
I
talked
to
Carrie
a
couple
days
ago
was
the
possibility
of
paying
the
affordable
housing
fees
early.
You
know
that
can
be
valuable
too,
as
well
as
so
I
hope
that
you
and
staff
will
work
together
to
maximize
the
value
of
the
affordable
housing
that
that
comes
forward
for
this,
because
it
does,
it
does
matter
just
a
huge
amount
to
all
of
us.
Thank
you.
E
E
So
there's
a
quid
pro
quo
right.
You
get
off
the
space,
but
in
doing
so
you
must
provide
something
to
the
city
in
return
and
I
I'm
very
sensitive
to
what
council
member
kame
was
was
saying
and
I.
Think
part
of
the
challenge
is,
we
don't
have
the
standard
by
which
we
can
evaluate
projects
against
each
other
at
the
time
in
2014.
E
It
may
have
made
sense
to
do
it
this
way,
because
we
were
anticipating
a
lot
of
applicants
who
would
have
to
put
their
best
foot
forward
right,
and
so
we
can
pick
and
choose
based
on
the
value
that
each
applicant
was
was
presenting.
When
you
only
have
one
applicant,
the
beauty,
passion
process
doesn't
work
anymore
and
I.
E
If
we're
seeing
office,
two
cease
to
be
as
valuable
as
it
once
was.
I
think
we
have
to
recalibrate
our
expectations
accordingly
and
unfortunately
it
may
mean
not
getting
as
much
as
we
had
hoped
10
years
ago.
But
what
is
being
provided
I
think
is
appropriate.
It
will
help
us
we're
getting
a
lot
of
land
and
land
is
great,
except
we
don't
have
enough
money
to
build
the
housing
on
that
land
that
we're
getting.
This
is
I,
think
a
good
start,
given
the
size
of
the
project,
so
I'm
comfortable
with
what's
being
proposed.
Thank
you.
E
A
R
I
just
wanted
to
to
thank
my
colleagues.
I
mean
part
of
this
is
a
public
policy
discussion
and
we
have
it
in
an
open
and
public
meeting
and
when
I
leaned
forward
it
wasn't
to
do
a
substitute
motion.
It
was
more
to
just
kind
of
talk
it
out
with
you
all
as
colleagues
and
to
to
discuss,
maybe
the
things
that
what
vice
mayor
brought
up
in
terms
of
the
prepayment.
That
was
not
something
that
was
brought
up
to
me
in
in
my
meeting
with
the
applicant's
representative
and
I.
R
R
A
X
Thank
you
for
indulging
me.
The
the
proposal
before
council
is
the
proposal
that
was
made
by
the
applicant
I
would
like
to
give
the
applicant
maybe
and
I
a
chance
to
consider
what
council
has
talked
about,
which
is
maximizing,
affordable,
housing
or
amen,
because
that
won't
come
after
after
authorization,
because
what
council
is
approving
is
the
is
the
project
before
you.
X
L
C
B
L
AB
I'm
Carrie
Williams
I'm,
representing
Jeff
Morris,
and
this
was
a
really
helpful
discussion
and
so
I
appreciate
everybody's
comments.
I
mean
it
was
really
really
helpful
to
hear
this,
and
you
know
we.
This
is
just
a

It's
not
an
entitlement
to
build
a
project.
We
still
have
to
come
forward
with
or
without
a
development
agreement.
We
we
have
to
come
forward
and
be
compelling
and
so
I
think.
We've
heard
very
clearly
what
you
know.
AB
A
Great
so
we'll
be
moving
towards
a
vote
I'm
going
to
support
the
motion.
I
was
on
the
fence
before,
but
I
think
various
factors.
The
fact
that
we've
had
sort
of
a
debate
about
how
important
supplying
various
kinds
of
infrastructure,
particularly
affordable,
housing
and
ways
of
encouraging
that
further,
also,
the
fact
that
this
is
a
small
project,
but
it
will
I
think
even
even
throughout
today,
I've
I've
felt
more
and
more
the
need
to
diversify
the
businesses
that
we
have
in
our
city.

In
January

2018,
the
city
and
Los
Altos,
School,

or
LASD
established
a
transfer
of
development

This
project
received
authorization
from
city
council
to
utilize,
up
to
28
000
square
feet
of
TDR
floor
area.
At
that
meeting,
the
applicant
hosted
a
community

in
January
of
2022

we're
notified
about
the
meeting.
However,
no
members
of
the

proposes
to
renovate

111
trees,
including
61
Heritage
trees,
are
proposed
to
be
removed
to
construct
the
project
primarily
due
to
their
conflict,
with
the
proposed
building,
footprint,
underground
garage
or
multi-use
path.
Additionally,
a
small
number
of
shaml

are
proposed
to
be
removed
due
to
their
condition.
AC
The
applicant
has
worked
extensively
with
City
staff
to
develop
the
optimal
site
design
to
achieve
tree
preservation
wherever
possible,
while
providing
Public

site.
The
project
will
result
in
a
net
increase
in

The
project
proposes
a
multi-use
path
with
bicycle
facilities
and
a
north

Paseo
Additionally.
The
project
will
provide
approximately
23

AC
The
project
substantially
complies
with

requests
minor
exceptions
to
the
required
number
of

These
exceptions
allow
for
additional
Landscaping
within

surface
parking
area
and
preservation
of
nine
additional
existing
Heritage

AC
In
conclusion,
staff
recommends
that
the
city
council
adopt
the
initial
study
and
approve
the
planned
Community

development
review
permit
and
Heritage
tree
removal
permit.
As
shown
in
the
staff
report,
City
staff
is
available
for
questions
and
the
applicant
team
is
also
present
and
as
a
brief
application
or
brief
presentation
to
share.
A
AD
AD
Y
Good
evening,
Mary
Hicks
members
of
the
council,
Ken
Rodriguez
good,
to
be
back
in
front
of
you
again
with
an
exciting
project.
Moving
forward.
I
want
to
be
very
brief,
because
staff's
report
was
very
thorough,
but
if
we
could
go
to
a
couple
of
the
renderings
I
wanted
to
just
share
some
images
with
with
the
council.
Y
That
will
run
for
a
ways,
but
looking
at
a
master
plan,
we
really
tried
to
develop
the
ability
to
Center
the
building
and
then
also
have
the
ability
to
at
some
point
either
remodel
the
building
the
existing
two-story
building
or
create
a
new
building
on
the
corner.
So
I
wanted
to
just
assure
the
council
that
we
have
some
flexibility
with
both
of
those
let's
go
to
the
next
slide.
Y
Y
This
is
a
view
from
Central,
Expressway
and
I.
Think
you
know
really
shows
the
building
can
be
and
will
be
a
really
interesting,
sculptural
piece,
the
materials
Brittany
mentioned
very
very
thoroughly,
but
I
think
this.
This
particular
building
will
have
a
pedestrian
connection
to
Central
Expressway,
which
will
really
activate
the
city's
desire
for
the
new
trail
system
along
Central,
a
real
positive
piece
versus
an
auto-oriented
expressway,
both
Auto
and
pedestrian
and
bicycle.
Today,
let's
go
to
the
next
slide.
Y
If
we
could-
and
this
just
shows
a
close-up
of
the
the
two
buildings-
the
connector
that
will
connect
that
multi-use
path
with
adjacent
sites,
you
can
see
it
right
in
the
middle
there,
with
the
textured
pavement
and
an
enhancement
of
landscaping,
and
as
staff
mentioned,
we
are
asking
for
an
exception
to
remove,
remove
just
five
loading
spaces
in
front
for
more
additional
Landscaping,
which
was
suggested
by
the
EPC.
So
I
think.
That
concludes
my
presentation.
We
have
more
slides
if
you
have
specific
questions.
AD
And
so
I'll
only
actually
can
we
see
they
have
one
more
slide,
showing
our
total
Community
benefits,
but
I
don't
have
a
whole
lot.
To
add
to
that
we've
read
staff's
reports,
fantastic.
We
agree
with
all
the
recommendations
and
conditions
in
the
report
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
I
think
it
might
have
been
the
last
one.
M
So
if
you
find
over
time
that
that
five
isn't
enough,
will
you
be
able
to
convert
some
of
the
Landscaping
to
another
space
or
or
I
know
I've
been
in
parking
lots
before
where
that
was
done,
and
it
seems
it's
way
better
to
have
it
as
Landscaping,
if
you
possibly
can,
but
if
you
find
out
it
doesn't
work,
is
that
a
possibility
there?
It.
AD
Part
of
the
reason
we
are
short
on
Spaces
is:
we've
walked
the
site
with
the
City
Arborist,
literally
looking
at
every
tree
sort
of
making
sure
that
we're
saving
the
trees
that
are
healthy,
because
there
are
quite
a
few
trees
that
are
being
removed
for
this
development.
So
that's
sort
of
how
we
backed
into
the
those
spaces
just
sort
of
at
this
point,
looking
at
trees,
having
a
little
more
importance
on
that
side
of
the
project,
we
certainly
can.
We
can
go
back
and
remove
more
trees
if
need
to.
AD
M
S
I
did
not
meet
with
the
applicant,
but
I
did
visit
the
site
on
my
own
this
past
weekend,
I
had
a
question
about
the
dark
sky
principles
and,
while
I
appreciate
that
the
applicant
would
work
with
staff
on
implementing
those,
is
it
possible
to
you
know.
I
also
heard
where
feasible
like
what
would
not
be
feasible.
AE
Thank
you
for
the
question
council
member.
This
is
assistant
community
development,
director,
Lindsey
Hagin,
so
I
think,
because
the
city
hasn't
really
dived
into
the
detailed
process
of
really
looking
at
dark
sky
regulations
and
all
the
kind
of
nuances
to
it.
We
use
the
terminology
where
feasible,
simply
because
we
don't
know
all
the
details
until
we
kind
of
get
through
it
and
I
think
during
the
as
mentioned
by
by
planner
white
Hill,
I
think
once
we
get
to
the
building.
AE
Permit
phase
is
really
when
we'd
have
a
lot
of
those
details
of
what
you
know
we
can
dive
into
this
sign.
Excuse
me
the
lighting
standards
and
looking
at
the
types
of
lighting
that
contribute
towards
you,
know,
meeting
the
requirements
of
dark
sky
and
there
are
other
resources
we
can
rely
on
in
looking
at
that,
it's
just
that
we
were
being
cautious
as
we
haven't
really
Dove
deep
into
that
as
part
of
City
staff
and
city
regulations.
Okay,.
S
AE
A
A
Wondering,
though,
because
we've
had
this
situation
with
other
entities,
we've
worked
with
that
there
there
is
open
space
and
then
there's
security
concerns
and
that
space
gets
cordoned
off
from
public
use,
so
I'm
wondering
and
and
I
actually
talked
to
a
planner
a
week
or
two
ago
on
another
project
about
this,
and
she
said
there
had
been
a
Security
review
so
that,
hopefully,
that
wouldn't
happen.
I
was
wondering
whether
you
had
gone
over
that
with
the
applicant.
AE
And
thank
you
for
the
question
so
as
part
of
the
conditions
of
approval,
there's
a
requirement
to
record
a
public
access
Covenant
where
we
would
outline
sort
of
what
can
and
can't
happen
so
future.
Any
consideration
of
a
future
fencing
would
be
something
that
would
have
to
review
and
look
at
as
part
of
a
future
Improvement
if
that's
what
they
were
offering,
but
I
think
as
part
of
this
project.
The
discussions
with
the
applicant
have
been
talking
about
it
being
an
open
and
accessible
and
not
secured
for
all
these
different.
E
AE
A
Okay,
see
this
is
a
last
call
for
questions
from
council
members.
Seeing
no
more
would
any
member
of
the
public
joining
us
virtually
or
in
person
like
to
provide
comment
on
this
item.
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand
button
in
Zoom
or
submit
a
blue
speaker
card
to
the
city.
Clerk
I'll
take
in-person
speakers
first
and.
L
Z
A
AF
So
a
few
comments
on
this
project.
So
recently,
Lisbon
Station,
Drive
I
manage
three
local
groups:
Mountain
View
Coalition
for
sustainable
planning,
green
spaces,
Mountain
View
and
the
Silicon
Valley
Bicycle,
Coalition,
Mountain
View
local
team.
We
talk
a
lot
about
this
project
and
the
undercrossing
at
bernardo's
shared
project
between
Mountain,
View
and
Sunnyvale,
and
one
thing
that
we've
been
bringing
up
all
along
but
doesn't
seem
to
show
up
in
the
reports,
is
inclusion
of
public-facing
restrooms
and
water
fountains
at
the
location,
partly
in
the
interest
of
serving
those
who
are
using
under
Crossing.
AF
The
dark
sky
issue
there's
a
lot
of
good
advice
from
organizations
like
the
international
dark
sky,
Association
and
Google
and
lendlease,
and
the
school
district
school
district
have
already
committed
to
applying
those
standards
to
their
lighting
policy.
So
it
seems
to
me
that
that's
set
a
precedent
that
the
developer
can
take
advantage
of.
Lastly,
hate
to
see
a
loss
of
so
many
trees.
AF
It's
great
to
see
there
will
be
an
increase
in
canopy,
but
it's
I'll
just
say
it's
hard
to
take
the
idea
that
we
have
to
cut
down
a
whole
lot
of
trees
in
order
to
realize
an
increase
in
canopy
and
with
native
trees.
So
try
to
take
the
good
with
the
bad
I
guess,
but
it's
partly
discouraging
and
that's
it
for
me.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
okay,
now
I
took
a
careful
look
and
I
do
not
see
any
more
hands
raised.
Virtually
so
we'll
bring
the
item
back
for
we'll
bring
the
item
back
for
Council
deliberation
and
action
and
note
that
a
motion
to
approve
the
recommendation
should
also
include
reading
the
title
of
the
resolution
attached
to
the
report.
S
C
S
So
clearly
something
went
wrong.
The
Wagon,
Wheel,
neighborhood
association,
as
far
as
we
can
tell
didn't
get
notified.
So
sorry,
nobody
showed
up
for
the
meeting
we
weren't
notified.
So
I
think
we
need
to
go
back
and
figure
out
what
happened.
What
went
arise
so
that
that
doesn't
happen
again,
because
that
neighborhood
is
very
interested
in
what's
going
on
in
the
area.
S
Let's
see,
I
I
was
glad
to
see
that
staff
is
going
to
work
with
the
applicant
on
the
design
and
I
I
personally
feel
like
it
is
too
much
glass
and
it
doesn't
fit
well,
even
though
they
might
redo
other
buildings,
and
you
know
we
saw
a
building
earlier
today
that
seemed
warmer
and
more
inviting
from
my
perspective
than
one
that
is
pretty
much
all
glass.
So
I
appreciate
that
staff
is
going
to
work
with
them
on
changing
some
things
and
I'm
hoping
that
can
be
at
least
some
warmer
elements.
S
Let's
see
I
mentioned
that
I
would
like
to
make
it
a
condition
of
approval
to
follow
the
dark
sky
lighting
regulations
or
policies
and
I'm,
hoping
that
the
maker
of
the
motion
and
the
secondary
will
include
that
and
I
will
say.
I
appreciate
the
public
art,
but
I
would
like
to
see
something
and
I
can't
figure
out
a
way
of
describing
this
other
than
something
other
than
Twisted
Metal.
S
S
S
What
is
that
you
know,
there's
one
and
I
think
it
is
Denver.
That's
a
big
blue
bear
looking
into
a
building.
That's
creative
I'd
like
to
see
something
creative
for
the
art.
That's
at
this
location
and
I'm
happy
to
send
the
applicant
lots
of
ideas
if
they're
looking
for
some,
but
that
one's
really
important
to
me
that
it's
something
other
than
metal
and
I'd
also
like
to
stay
away
from
Birds,
because
we
have
so
many
sorry
to
be
so
detailed.
S
R
Great
thanks,
yes,
I'm
happy
to
include
Dark
Skies
into
the
the
motion.
However,
we
should
add
that
I'll
look
to
the
City
attorney
for
that
and
I'm
I'm
making
the
motion.
I
do
know
that
it's
gone
through
quite
a
few
iterations
of
design
with
staff
and
feel
like
it's
getting
closer
in
the
right
direction.
I
Echo,
council,
member
Mata
checks
call
to
expanding
the
radius
of
notification.
Not
only
do
I
feel
like
it's
Wagon
Wheel,
but
wisman
Station,
East
wisman.
R
Y
R
Then
excited
that
I
I
believe
this
will.
This
is
part
of
the
LASD
transfer,
development,
right
rights
and
so
I'm
excited
to
kind
of
be
moving
forward
with
with
that
and
I
feel
like
council
member
matek,
we
need
to
trademark
plop
art,
as
your
as
your
coined
phrase,
really
appreciate
that
you're
always
looking
out
for
that.
R
D
R
A
S
R
Q
Thank
you,
mered
I
just
wanted
to
report
that
this
cities,
Association
selection
committee,
shows
members
for
the
recycling
waste
reduction
committee
and
the
Emergency
Operations
Council
Council,
and
we
also
had
a
board
meeting
where
we
had
we're
trying
to.
We
have
guest
speakers
who
were
coming
in
and
we
had
two
from
the
county.
Q
One
was
from
the
gun,
violence,
prevention
task
force
and
they
did
a
great
presentation
that
focused
on
something
that
has
come
up
in
our
city.
The
gun,
violence,
restraining
order
and
the
task
force
is
encouraging
all
cities
to
adopt
those
types
of
policies
as
part
of
a
way
to
promote
gun
safety,
and
the
other
presentation
was
on
the
healthy
cities
dashboard.
Q
So
we've
had
this
in
the
past,
I
think
it
was
put
on
hold
during
covid,
but
there's
like
a
list
of
different
items
and
they
will
rate
each
City
on
each
item
and
one
actually
is
upon
gun
violence
and
another
one
was
on
sustainability
and
and
they're
planning
for
a
summit
later
in
the
fall
focused
on
these
two
items.
So
I
can't
remember
but
I
think
some
of
you.
We
were
doing
pretty
well.
Q
There's
some
areas
that
we
could
focus
on
I
think
one.
Actually,
the
The
Vaping
issue
is
on
there
too,
but
overall
I
think
we're
in
a
good
place.
I
also
wanted
to
remind
folks
that
on
June
15th
Thursday
we
will
have
the
cities
association,
annual
membership
dinner,
and
this
is
with
a
partnership
with
Silicon
Valley,
clean
energy
and
the
joint
venture.
Silicon
Valley
focuses
on
sustainability,
clean
energy.
Q
We
will
be
having
cooking
demonstrations
using
induction
cooking
techniques
and
then
dinner
and
some
speakers
and
then
a
dessert
food
truck
so
and
it'll
be
at
the
Los
Altos
Community
Center.
It's
actually
free
of
charge.
We
receive
sponsorship
from
svce,
so
please
I
encourage
all
of
you
to
sign
up
and
join
us
that.
Q
M
Yes,
thank
you.
I
wanted
to
share
that
I
attended
the
leadership.
Mountain
View
sustainability
day
on
Friday
gave
a
little
talk
on
sea
level,
rise
and
recycled
water
and
went
to
their
graduation.
Several
people
went
to
graduation.
It
was
a
great
fun
and
I
think
that
we're
going
to
have
another
great
group
of
leaders
coming
forward
to
help
us
in
all
sorts
of
Civic
activities
and
I
also
wanted
to
share
that.
This
morning,
the
the
mayor
and
myself
and
Raymond
spent
the
morning
at
the
South
Bay
Salt
Pond
program
stakeholder
meeting.
M
They
have
won
about
every
year
to
sort
of
bring
everybody
up
to
speed
and
I
put
together
some
slides
about
it,
but
are
they
anyway?
It's
not
too
late.
Should
I
go
through
them
now
or
just
share
them
with
everybody.
I'll
just
share
them
with
everybody
later,
but
anyway,
put
through
a
cup
there
were.
There
were
like
115
slides
in
this
slideshow,
so
I
kind
of
knew
you
didn't
want
to.
You
didn't
want
me
to
share
that
so
I,
so
I
took
out,
I
took
out
about
I,
don't
know
six
or
seven.
M
To
show
you
to
show
you
yeah,
yeah
I
thought
that
would
you
know
you
might
actually
look
at
that,
so
so
we
will.
We
will
share
that
tomorrow,
but
the
the
you
know,
the
real
take-home
message
I
think,
is
that
that,
at
the
end
of
phase
two,
which
is
what
are
the
Restoration
in
Mountain
View,
is
part
of
we,
the
the
the
program
will
have
reached
the
the
50
50
goal
of
having
50
of
the
marshes
in
the
South
Bay
restored.
M
I
mean
fifty
percent
of
the
Salt
Ponds
restored
to
Marsh,
and
50
of
them
will
be
still
pawns
and
when
you
know
when
the
Salt
Pond
project
started,
that
was
the
the
idea
was
that
we
would
get
at
least
a
50
and
then,
depending
on
how
things
were
in
in
terms
of
sea
level
rise
and
particularly
in
terms
of
how
the
the
the
birds
and
you
know,
the
endangered
species
were
responding.
We
may
someday
go
to
as
as
high
as
90
percent
restoration.
M
So
we
are,
you
know,
on
a
trajectory
to
that,
and
they
also
showed
about
I
think
it
was
about
a
3.6
million
dollar
Gap.
In
finishing
the
Restoration
in
the
Mountain
View
area-
and
we
have
heard
about
that
from
other-
you
know-
we've
heard
about
that
from
the
city
directly,
so
just
wanted
to
share
that
and
you'll
be
seeing
this
great
slideshow.
S
This
is
the
26
agencies
that
buy
water
from
the
San
Francisco
Public
Utilities
Commission,
that
is
the
owner
of
the
hechechi
system,
and
actually
the
sfpuc
had
a
celebration
at
the
O'shaughnessy
Dam,
which
is
the
dam
that
created
the
hechechi
reservoir.
It
is
a
hundred
years
old,
which
is
kind
of
surprising
when
I
was
first
appointed
to
Bosca.
They
took
us
all
the
new
board
members
up
to
and
we
toured
different
segments
of
the
system
and
then
ended
up
at
the
water.
S
Sorry
Reservoir
and
we
had
an
opportunity
to
go
into
the
O'shaughnessy
Dam,
which
was
really
pretty
interesting,
I
must
say,
and
but
getting
to
our
water
supply
situation.
You
heard
a
little
bit
about
it
from
vice
versa.
Walter
earlier,
but
looking
at
just
the
Hitachi
system,
they
are
expecting
the
system
to
be
filled
by
July
1.
S
You
know
they
have
to
there's
a
gentleman
who
just
loves
math
and
we
met
him
on
our
tour
and
he
does
all
the
calculations
on
the
snowpack
and
how
it's
going
to
melt
and
therefore
how
much
space
you
have
to
have
in
the
system.
At
the
different
points
and-
and
so
there
there
is
space
in
the
reservoir
to
hold
this.
You
know
snow
melt
but
they're
expecting
it
to
fill
by
July,
1.
and
water
consumption.
S
We
look
at
that
at
every
meeting
and
it's
kind
of
shocking
that
our
as
a
system,
the
consumption
is
below
the
2015
levels.
Even
though
the
population
has
grown
quite
a
bit.
The
per
capita
uses
usage
of
water
is
really
depressed,
so
to
speak,
which
is
great
news
in
general.
It's
great
news
and,
let's
see
that's
it.
Thank
you.
S
R
As
councilmember
matachek
mentioned,
we
had
a
council
Transportation
committee
meeting
on
the
15th
and
on
the
16th
we
had
a
council
Youth
Services
committee
meeting,
so
I'll
highlight
that
which
is
we
had
the
largest
amount
of
participants
of
our
youth
in
the
teen
art
showcase,
which
was
in
the
Rotunda
area
with
68
participants,
and
so
they
had
a
really
successful
teen
week,
and
so
I've
asked
staff
to
share
that
in
our
Council
connection.
So
we
can
see
who
the
teen
friendly
businesses
were
and
all
the
other
events
that
took
place
for
our
youth.
M
People
really
seem
to
enjoy
that,
and
we
had
a
a
fairly
robust
group
of
people
in
the
audience.
I
think
there
were
about
40
members
of
the
audience
and
they
just
kept
the
questions
coming.
They
were
primarily
about
Transportation,
so
Lorenzo
Lopez
got
the
prize
for
the
most
questions
answered
and
anyway,
I
think
that
everyone
was
just
very
really
pleased
to
be
back
together
face
to
face
it's.
You
know
it's
it's.
M
This
is
something
that
the
city
of
Mountain
View
does
that's
pretty
unique
and
when
you
know
when
the
the
members
of
the
community
have
an
opportunity
and
a
less
formal
setting
to
come
up
and
talk
to
individuals
from
the
Departments
with
their
questions,
is
it's
really
much
less
intimidating
and
you
know
I
think
it's
it's.
It's
really
appreciated,
so
I
just
wanted
to
share
that.
We
had
that
and
thank
all
the
staff
who
took
part
there
were
I
think
there
were
probably
25
staff
members
there.
N
A
So
I'll
just
sing.
No
other
commenters
I'll
just
add
that
I
I
guess
it
was
Monday
I
greeted
vice
vice
president
Kamala
Harris,
along
with
mayor
Gilmore,
from
Santa,
Clara
and
and
mayor
Klein,
from
Sunnyvale
on
the
tarmac,
which
was
fun
because
she's
from
my
hometown
of
Berkeley
and
I
I,
think
there
were
other
council
members
in
the
well
welcoming
group
as
well
council,
member
kamay
and
abek
hoga,
and
she
was
here
in
then
we
went
off
to
Sunnyvale
for
a
presentation.
A
A
B
I
do
thank
you.
