is
to
receive
your
feedback
on
project
principles,
on
the
development

and
for
and
and
development

Affordable
housing
development
at
the
vta
site
at
87,
east
evelyn
avenue,
and
your
feedback
today
will
inform
our
request
for
qualifications
and
request
for
proposals
process
which
we
will
initiate
to
select
an
affordable
housing
developer
for
the
site.
H
The
site
is
outlined
here
in
yellow
it's
approximately
2.1
acres
in
size.
It's
bordered
in
by
pioneer
way:
east
evelyn
avenue
and
some
office
buildings
across
east
evelyn
avenue
is
the
caltrain
railroad
tracks
and
just
beyond
the
adjacent
property
is
highway.
85.,
the
property
is
about
a
half
a
mile
from
the
mountain
view,
transit
center
and
0.2
miles
from
an
entrance
to
the
stephens
creek
trail.
H
Just
a
little
history
on
where
we've
been
with
this
site
in
may
of
2019
council
authorizes
city
manager
to
negotiate
and
execute
a
long-term
lease
with
an
option
to
purchase
the
vta
property
with
an
intended
future
used
as
affordable
housing
in
september,
staff
signed
the
ground
lease
with
vta
and
since
then,
staff
have
been
working
with
consultants
to
examine
the
economic
feasibility
of
different
housing
scenarios
for
the
site.
We
worked
with
an
architect
to
understand
possible
densities
and
parking
scenarios,
and
we've
been
coordinating
with
planning
and
public
work
staff
in
advance
of
this
meeting.
H
The
ground
lease
that
the
city
has
with
bta
is
an
involves:
an
11
million
dollar
upfront
payment
with
2
million
dollars
due
at
year,
10
or
at
the
time
of
purchase.
The
option
to
purchase
begins
in
january
of
2023
and
staff
intend
to
execute
the
purchase
option
per
council's
direction
of
note.
There
is
a
continuing
federal
transit
administration
interest
in
the
land
because
their
funding
was
involved
in
the
original
acquisition
of
the
land
fta
has
reviewed
and
approved
the
city's
ground
lease
and
purchase
and
sale
agreement
with
vta.
H
There
are
some
restrictions
that
carry
forward
after
the
city
purchases,
the
property,
mainly
that
it
must
be
used
for
affordable
housing.
The
housing
must
be
built
within
10
years
of
the
ground.
Lease
commitment
commencement,
with
a
few
extensions,
if
there
are
extenuating
circumstances,
that
if
there
is
a
preference
for
mountain
view,
residents
that
vta
employees
be
included
in
that
preference
and
that
the
site
be
developed
at
a
minimum
of
75
dwelling
units
per
acre.
H
There's
also
only
one
development
in
mountain
view
right
now
that
has
the
combination
of
rents
and
support
services
that
would
make
the
units
appropriate
for
households
that
are
just
coming
out
of
homelessness.
We
do
have
200
of
these.
What
we
call
supportive
housing
units
in
our
pipeline,
which
is
extraordinary,
but
it's
still
significantly
less
than
the
need
there
were
606
unhoused
community
members
counted
in
the
last
homelessness
census.
In
mountain
view.
H
H
Third
staff
recommend
using
the
extraordinary
location
of
the
site
so
close
to
downtown
stevens,
creek
trail
and
caltrain
to
to
make
a
big
housing
opportunity,
but
also
recognizing
that
this
is
the
first
residential
development
in
this
neighborhood
and
any
housing
will
have
to
create
a
residential
field
where
there
wasn't
one
before
fourth
staff
recommend
being
mindful
of
cost.
The
city's
affordable
housing
pipeline
exceeds
our
projected
available
funds.
H
The
first
parameter
that
we
looked
at
was
density.
As
I
mentioned,
the
ground
lease
requires
a
minimum
of
75
units
per
acre
and
based
on
some
feedback
we
received
from
our
economic
feasibility
consultant
and
also
our
architect
consultant.
We
studied
a
maximum
of
120
units
per
acre,
given
how
close
the
site
is
to
transportation.
H
We
particularly
looked
for
a
area
area,
meeting,
income
or
ami
levels
that
are
not
covered
by
our
existing
below
market
rate
program,
which
typically
serves
households
at
50,
ami
or
above,
and
also
thinking
about
the
fact
that
even
our
100,
affordable
housing
sites
typically
serve
households
at
30,
ami
and
above.
But
we
know
that
there
are
at
least
6
000
households
in
mountain
view
that
earn
30
ami
or
below.
H
So
with
all
that
considered,
staff
recommends
reserving
at
least
30
percent
of
the
units
for
households
below
the
30
threshold,
which
is
highly
needed
in
our
society,
as
well
as
a
range
of
other
incomes
with
a
max
of
80
ami,
and
I
realized
that
was
a
lot
of
percent
ami
numbers.
So
I
thought
we
should
show
you
the
actual
ami
levels
as
they
stand
today.
This
is
the
latest
chart.
It
gets
updated
annually
by
the
state
and
just
as
an
example
for
us
to
put
some
real
numbers
to
this.
H
That's
clearly
not
not
enough
to
live
off
of
in
our
market
rate
developments
here
in
mountain
view,
but
it's
also
quite
a
lot
to
ask
of
a
household
to
earn
if
they,
you
know,
for
example,
recently
lost
their
job
or
their
housing.
As
we
know,
many
of
our
community
members
have
especially
in
the
recent
years.
So
that's
why
we're
looking
to
ensure
that
some
of
the
units
would
be
affordable
to
people
below
that
income
level.
H
Next,
we
thought
about
the
desired
resident
population
and
really
really
thought
considered.
The
unmet
needs
that
we
analyzed
and
referenced
earlier,
which
are
the
permanent,
supportive
housing
units
for
people
who
have
experienced
homelessness
as
well
as
housing
for
larger
families
and
when
serving
those
populations.
We
thought
about
the
need
to
make
sure
that
whichever
developer
is
our
partner,
they
need
to
provide
the
right
amenities
and
services
to
support
each
of
them
appropriately.
H
H
Additionally,
the
city
would
intend
on
providing
a
subsidy
which
would
be
along
the
same
lines
of
those
in
our
affordable
housing
guidelines,
and
we
would
evaluate
the
funding
request
of
the
potential
developer
and
have
a
goal
or
a
target
of
providing
no
more
than
20
percent
of
the
project's
funding
needs,
which
is
what's
in
our
guidelines.
Now
we
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
there
may
be
phasing
needed
for
this
project.
H
H
In
the
rfp
and
rfq,
we
will
ask
respondents
to
propose
appropriate
amenities
for
future
residents,
including
open
spaces
with
separate
areas
for
different
populations
such
as
families
with
children
or
single
adults,
community
rooms,
programming
and
support
services,
and
we'll
also
ask
them
to
consider
additional
amenities
like
child
care
or
communal
services.
If
possible,
the
amenities
will
need
to
be
well
designed
incorporated
into
the
building
and
built
in
with
appropriate
circulation
and
other
considerations
to
make
it
a
lovely
place
to
live.
H
H
I
want
to
note
that
the
current
safe
parking
site
is
allowed
to
be
there
through
january
2024,
under
the
current
lease
with
eta,
and
once
the
city
owns
the
site,
we
can
extend
that
between
now
and
when
construction
begins.
City
staff
will
be
looking
into
transition
plans,
particularly
pathways
to
permanent
housing
for
the
current
residents,
and
this
would
be
true
for
all
safe
parking
residents
everywhere.
H
H
In
order
to
streamline
the
process,
staff
recommend
that
the
invitation
for
rfq
applicants
to
follow
through
with
the
rfp
be
made
by
staff
in
accordance
with
the
direction
from
council
on
priorities
and
principles.
Tonight,
if
we
need
additional
input
for
any
reason,
though,
we
will
bring
the
rfq
selection
back
to
council.
H
H
Does
council
agree
with
the
proposed
project,
principles
and
development
priorities
for
affordable
housing
at
the
site
located
at
87
east
evelyn
avenue,
including
the
proposed
mix
of
residents,
particularly
a
significant
number
of
family
units?
The
proposed
approach
regarding
density,
the
proposed
approach
regarding
the
parking
ratio
and
any
other
considerations
you
have
to
share.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
A
I
Good
evening
council,
my
name
is
james
guzman
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
support
the
project
and
concept
and
I
look
forward
to
having
a
surface
slot
be
used
for
a
housing.
The
three
main
comments
I
would
have
would
first
off,
please
be
sure
to
ensure
that
the
people
currently
are
the
amount
of
residents
currently
using
the
safe
parking
lot
are
have
good
options
going
forwards.
I
Secondly,
I
know
in
the
written
staff
report
there
are
some
allusions
to
ensuring
that
the
building
fits
in
with
the
surrounding
area
or
something
along
those
lines,
and
I
would
just
hope
that
it
doesn't
considering
that
the
surrounding
area
is
largely
ancient
industrial
buildings
that
hopefully,
we
have
fewer
of
going
forwards.
And
thirdly,
I
appreciate
this.
The
staff
recommendation
to
not
have
excessive
parking,
and
I
hope
that
the
city
can
impose
no
particular
parking
minimums
on
this
project
as
consistent
with
council's
own
direction.
I
J
Hi
yeah,
my
name
is
saleem.
I
really
appreciated
staff's
presentation.
I
hope
council
gives
staff
direction
to
exercise
wide
latitude
and
getting
the
best
project
across
the
finish
line.
I
think
the
idea
to
streamline
the
rfq
makes
a
ton
of
sense.
It
really
is,
you
know
something
you
can
trust
staff
to
do
well
without
the
council
slowing
down
the
project.
J
I
also
think
it's
a
great
idea
to
see
to
what
extent
we
can
merge
this
project
with,
I
believe
it's
6770
evelyn
the
adjacent
parcel
just
to
see
like
what
can
we
do
to
increase
density
in
open
space?
I
think
that's
an
amazing
idea,
I'm
also
supportive
of
giving
staff
a
latitude
when
it
comes
to
parking
and
in
density,
because,
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
want
our
affordable
housing
dollars
to
go
as
far
as
they
can
for
affordable
housing.
J
K
Evening,
council,
my
name
is
kevin
ma
I'll,
be
speaking
on
behalf
of
mountain
view
me
tonight.
We
support
this
project
and
we
think
that
there
should
not
be
a
maximum
density
limit
set
at
this
point
because
inherently
we're
trying
to
maximum
number
of
homes,
the
number
of
people
who
are
able
to
stay
in
the
city,
given
that
the
cost
of
land
is
considered
prohibitive,
and
it's
not
very
often
that
the
city
gets
into
the
direct
action
of
you
know
planning
out
aside
from
affordable
housing.
K
So
we
don't
want
to
be
undercutting
the
number
of
potential
residences
in
this
development.
So
early
on,
we
agree
with
staff's
reasonings
for
minimizing
parking
requirements.
We
go
further
and
ask
just
for
setting
no
minimum
parking
requirements
at
this
point.
Instead,
we
should
look
at
what
developers
can
come
up
to
see
if
what's
feasible,
given
that
gossip
parking
is
non-trivial
and
does
mean
that
we
are
trading
car
spaces
for
people
and
that's
the
fundamental
thing
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it.
L
K
Relatively
close
to
downtown
it's
relatively
close
to
a
transit
center,
you
know
it's
within
10
minutes
walk.
There
are
amenities
in
the
area,
although,
as
james
alluded
to
the
current
direct
neighbors
to
this
place,
are
quiet
offices
and
auto
shops,
so
I
believe,
there's
less
opposition
in
this
area.
That
should
be
useful
for
ensuring
that
we
have
a
relatively
tall
building
close
to
so
close
to
downtown
and
yeah.
That's
all
there
is
to
it.
Thank
you.
M
We
recognize
that
the
city
has
shown
a
willingness
to
help
house
extremely
vulnerable
members
of
the
mountain
view,
community,
such
as
at
the
luna
vista
and
san
antonio
place,
where
a
number
of
the
units
are
set
aside
for
people
with
developmental
disabilities
who
require
coordinated
supportive
services
from
the
regional
center
in
order
to
maintain
their
housing.
However,
a
need
still
exists,
as
only
30
percent
of
mountain
view.
Adults
with
developmental
disabilities
have
been
able
to
move
into
their
own
apartment
with
supportive
services.
M
M
Inclusion
of
this
population
also
supports
plans
for
lower
parking
for
the
project
to
qualify
for
lower
parking
requirements,
as
this
population
is
mostly
transit
dependent.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
consideration
and
hope
to
support
you,
as
you
continue
to
look
for
ways
to
create
a
more
inclusive
city.
Thank
you.
N
Hi
good
evening,
council
members,
my
name
is
kelsey
baines.
I
will
try
to
keep
my
comments
short
because
so
far
they
all
have
been
wonderful,
so
I'll
just
say
I
agree
with
the
previous
speakers
and
I'm
really
excited
for
this
opportunity
to
get
more
affordable
housing,
but
specifically
more
permanent,
supportive
housing
for
people
who
have
experienced
homelessness
and
I'm
also
really
excited
for
family
units.
N
So
I
hope
we
take
full
advantage
of
this
opportunity
and
maximize
the
the
number
of
homes
we
get
at
this
site
and
don't
put
additional
onerous
restrictions
on
the
nonprofit
developers
in
terms
of
adding
things
like
parking
requirements
that
don't
help
to
house
people
and
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
Thank
you.
So
much.
P
Thank
you
mayor.
This
will
be
very
fast
speaking
bruce
england
speaking
for
mountain
view
coalition
for
sustainable
planning.
A
number
of
you
on
this
session
tonight
will
remember
a
few
years
ago.
A
lot
of
us
worked
very
hard
to
try
to
identify
additional
safe
parking
locations
and
came
up
pretty
much
empty.
It's
a
huge
challenge-
and
I
know
kimbra
knows
this
and
already
knows
that
wayne
knows
it
and
council
members
know
it,
but
I
just
wanted
to
bring
it
up
that,
although
we
absolutely
want
this
housing
to
happen,
no
doubt
about
that.
P
Q
Hey
al,
what
a
fantastic
way
to
kick
off:
affordable
housing
months
right!
This
is
great.
Yes,
what
all
the
previous
speakers
said.
As
for
this
project,
I
wanted
to
keep
highlight
the
fact
that
the
denser
you
build
the
more
you
build
now,
the
less
the
marginal
cost
of
each
unit,
the
longer
the
lifetime
like
success
of
the
project
in
its
ability
to
house
people,
but
also
the
lower
the
carbon
usage,
because
a
lot
of
that
those
costs
are
fixed
at
startup.
A
Thank
you
very
much
see
no
other
members
of
the
public
wishing
to
speak.
We
will
return
to
the
council
for
questions
and
then
deliberation
and
well.
The
process
will
be
the
same
I'll,
collect
any
new
ideas
or
suggested
deviations
from
the
staff
recommendation
and
we'll
take
some
straw
votes
and
if
there
aren't
any,
then
we'll
just
vote
on
the
staff
recommendations.
F
Hi,
so
my
first
question
is
for
the
mayor.
I
assume
you
want
our
questions
first
and
then
we'll
do
a
second
round
of
how
we
feel
about
the
staff
proposals
and
anything
else
we
want
to
say:
is
that
or
do
you
want
me
to
run
them
all
together,
questions
first,
okay,
so
my
question
is
the
to
staff
with
the
child
care
or
community
services?
F
R
F
Affordable
housing
residents
fairly
nearby
and,
of
course,
members
of
the
general
public
also,
but
I
know
that
can
also
be
a
problem
for
track
tax
credit
projects.
So
I'd
like
to
know
a
little
bit
of
your
thinking
on
that
and
I
will
turn
my
video
off
because
I
have
to
plug
in
my
computer
I'm
out
of
batteries,
but
I
am
listening.
H
Thank
you
vice
mayor
hicks,
it's
really
open-ended
at
this
point.
We
want
to
see
what
the
developers
can
come
up
with
and
if
there's
any
creative
hunt
funding
sources
that
they
might
be
able
to
use
you're
right
that
most
most
of
the
time
with
tax
credit
funding,
the
services
really
need
to
be
for
the
on-site
residents.
So
my
short
answer
is
we
don't
know
yet
and
we'll
see
if
the
restrictions
keep
it
from
keep
those
things
from
happening.
G
Yeah,
I
I
didn't
get
an
opportunity
to
put
it
in
questions
this
week,
because
I
was
traveling
back
for
my
dad's
99th
birthday,
which
was
great
fun,
but
whoever
put
in
the
questions
did
a
great
job.
So
thanks
for
doing
that,
but
I
do
have
a
couple
more
one.
Is
the
franklin
street
apartments
that
that
the
parking
ratio
was
mentioned
on
that,
but
you
didn't
mention
how
much
of
the
parking
was
utilized.
Do
we
know
that.
S
Good
evening
council,
thank
you
wayne
chan
assistant
community
development
director,
there
have
been
parking
utilization
counts
that
have
been
performed
and
specifically,
including
franklin
street
the
counts,
and
also
in
our
conversations
with
past
property
managers
at
the
time
have
suggested
that
there
is
an
under
utilization
of
the
existing
parking.
We
do
know
that
there
may
be
situations
where
residents
are
choosing
to
park
on
the
street
rather
than
in
the
parking.
G
G
It's
I
mean
it's
not
an
unwieldy
size
for
an
apartment,
complex,
that's
what
I
that's
what
I'm
getting
at
so
so
I
think
that's
that's
an
important
thing
to
keep
in
mind,
and
then
the
other
thing
I
want
to
mention
was
that
you
know
we
also
have
an
affordable
housing
project
at
the
corner
of
bernardo
and
evelyn,
which
isn't
very
far
from
this
site.
I
honestly
don't
know
how
far
it
is.
G
H
Thank
you,
councilmember
showalter,
it's
the
type
of
thing
that
we
could
include
in
the
rfp
for
developers
to
consider
if
staff
would
like
us
to.
I
mean
sorry
if
the
council
would
like
us-
and
it
is
important
to
include
all
these
implementation
pieces
in
the
upfront
rfp,
because
that's
a
big
part
of
what
we're
asking
the
developer
to
do
as
well.
So
we
this
would
be
now
would
be
the
time
to
talk
about
it.
T
A
E
S
E
H
Thank
you,
council,
member
matac,
my
understanding
of
the
interests-
and
we
can
ask
some
of
my
colleagues
who
have
a
bit
more
history
on
this
project
than
I
do
for
clarification,
is
that
they
contributed
some
of
the
funding
for
the
original
vta
purchase,
and
so
essentially,
if
the
site
would
ever
be,
the
interest
is
forever
unless
the
they
are
paid
back
and
I
believe
the
terms
of
their
payment
meant
that
it
involves
the
appreciation
of
the
site.
So
it
would
be
somewhat
significant.
H
H
We
would
own
it,
but
they
would
have
this
interest.
So
I
think
if
we're
and
I
I
should
be
careful
not
to
talk
out
of
turn,
I'm
not
sure
if
the
city
attorney
wants
to
chime
in
at
all
and
or
correct
me,
but
my
understanding
is
if
we
wanted
to
do
something
that
they
didn't
approve
of,
we
would
probably
have
to
buy
them
out.
E
H
Thank
you,
councilmember
mata
track
the
when
we
met
with
the
safe
parking
residence.
Last
week
I
had
a
hunch.
This
would
be
the
case
we
sort
of
said.
We
know
you've
been
looking
for,
affordable
housing
and
we'd
like
to
hear
what
your
obstacles
have
been
at
some
point
and
they
already
started
sharing
several.
I
had
sort
of
said
that
as
a
thing
we'd
like
to
come
back
and
learn,
but
they
shared
several
and
they
are
along
the
lines
of
what
we've
heard
in
other
places
of
the
city.
H
There
are
not
units
that
fit
their
needs.
There
are
not
the
unit.
The
waiting
list
is
extremely
long,
so
we
would
like
to
consider
opportunities
to
try
to
make
sure
our
units
more
appropriately
fit
the
needs
of
our
unhoused
community
members,
which
our
current
pipeline
probably
is
going
to
compared
to
our
previous
pipeline.
H
E
D
Thank
you
mayor.
I
had
some
other
questions.
Concerns
regarding
transportation,
so
definitely
would
be
interested
in
the
franklin
street
parking
utilization,
since
that
seems
to
be
the
closest
type
of
development
that
this
is.
This
might
be
moving
towards
becoming
but
and
then
and
follow
up
to
council
member
show
walters
comments
about
shared
resources.
D
If
I
remember
correctly,
and
I'm
just
wondering
what
the
status
is
when
we
did
the
evelyn,
the
other
evelyn,
I
can't
remember
the
developer's
name
right
now,
but
that
project
on
bernardo
and
evelyn
we
had
asked.
I
believe
we
had
asked
for
them
to
look
at
providing
shuttle
service
to
the
children
so
that
they
could
get
to
the
elementary
school,
and
I
was
wondering
where,
if
that's
still
happening,
what
would
happen
to
that,
and
is
that
something
that
we
could?
H
D
That
would
be
great
if
we
could
coordinate
and
partner
with
them.
On
that
I,
the
next
question
has
to
do
with
charities
and
their
parcel
that
they've
acquired
next
door,
and
you
know
I'm
very
much
interested
in
seeing
how
we
could
work
with
them
and
to
even
to
the
extent
if
my
question
is
like:
if
do
we
have
to
legally
do
we
have
to
go
out
for
an
rf
qrfp
process,
or
is
there
a
way
to
just
partner
with
charities
since
they're
next
door?
H
So
staff
has
researched
this
question
and
it's
a
little
bit
unclear
at
the
very
least.
If
we
were
to
try
to
bypass
a
competitive
process,
we
would
have
to
do
some
significant
justification
work
and
what
I've
been
told
is
that,
typically,
with
such
a
large
amount
of
public
funds
involved,
it's
best
to
do
a
competitive
process.
H
D
D
Could
that
get
extra
points
but
explains,
for
instance,
for
doing
that?
You
know
in
particular,
I'm
just
concerned,
because
their
parcel
is
an
odd
shape
and
may
be
limited
in
building,
and
so,
if
you
do
two
standalone
two
separate
projects,
we
may
not
be
able
to
maximize
the
land,
but
you
know
I'm
thinking
in
that
funky
triangle.
Maybe
there's
a
way
to
utilize
that
for
parking.
So
is
there
a
way,
yes
to
kind
of
give
bonus
points
for
something
that
has
the
entire
thinking
or
master
plan?
D
I
guess
I'm
trying
to
understand
that
better
because,
like
how
do
you,
how
does
they
let's
say
we
do
end
up
with
two
developers?
How
does
the
developer
for
our
lot
plan?
Let's
say
you
know
the
best
use
of
plant
utilization
of
land
is
to
put
the
park
and
the
parking
on
the
charities
parcel.
But
how
do
they
plan
for
that?
If
they
don't
have
control
of
both
parcels.
U
You're
right,
we
won't
have
the
ability
to
master
plan,
to
that
extent
where
they
have
control
over
both
sites
and
the
city
doesn't
have
control
over
both
sides.
So
I
think
charities
can
probably
provide
the
best
master
planning
effort
in
that
realm,
but
a
creative
team
can
certainly
what
we're
thinking
is.
U
You
might
have
the
open
space
in
the
middle,
you
might
have
circulation
around
the
open
space
and
they
can
show
examples
of
what
they
would
certainly
do
on
their
site
and
what
a
master
plan
could
loosely
look
at
on
the
like
on
the
other
side.
So
while
they
don't
have
that
ability,
they
could
show
how
that
might
work
and
if
charities
has
done
some
preliminary
planning
on
their
own
site
and
and
is
willing
to
share
we're
happy
to
share
that
information
with
other.
U
You
know
participants,
so
it's
possible,
but
a
lot
of
it
would
have
to
assume
that
some
of
these
shared
spaces
are
on
the
on
the
city
side.
So
it's
more
about
combining
the
part.
So
the
sum
is
greater
than
just
the
sum
of
its
parts
right,
it
looks.
It
looks
better
that
way.
Instead
of
designing
it
in
such
a
way
that
there's
no
way
for
them
to
work
together
so
again
we
can.
We
can
design
the
rfp
to
show
these
master
planning
efforts,
but
they
can't
assume
they're
on
the
charity
site.
U
D
You
last
question
was
in
terms
of
funding,
it
looks
like
we
have
nine
or
so
projects
and
the
works
and
pipeline,
but
it
doesn't
look
like
we're
going
to
have
sufficient
funding
for
all
of
them.
What
is
the
plan,
or
will
that
or
actually
will
that
be
a
part
of
the
rfp?
Actually,
you
know
with
them
proposing
a
funding
mechanism
that
will
utilize
other
sources.
H
Yes,
certainly
the
developers
will
be
asked
to
maximize
leveraging
other
funding
sources
in
their
proposals,
and
we
will
be
you
know,
all
else
being
equal
scoring
that
very
highly
and
also
we
will
be
coming
back
to
council
with
an
affordable
housing
study
session
to
talk
about
our
expenditure
plans
and
funding
needs
later
this
year.
So
that
will
be
something
else
we
can
study
as
well.
D
Right
one
concern
with
that
is
that
we've
had,
I
think,
a
couple
of
projects
that
had
you
know,
plans
that
looked
really
solid,
and
then
they
came
back
and
asked
us
for
more
money
later
so
yeah.
How
do
we
you
know?
How
do
we
try
to
avoid
that
as
much
as
possible?
Would
be
the
question
not
no
need
to
answer
right
now,
but
just
want
to
you
know
be
mindful
of
it.
Thank
you.
S
Just
one
comment
on
that
piece
is:
we
would
typically
want
to
include
in
the
rfq
rfp
information
to
ask
a
developer,
to
propose
a
funding
option
and
a
potential
alternative
funding
option
and
then
provide
a
description
about
the
feasibility
of
their
funding
proposal
to
give
a
sense
of
how
competitive
that
they
would
be
for
for
the
funds.
So
that
would
be
one
way
for
us
to
be
able
to
better
evaluate
their
proposals.
A
A
If
it
sounds
like
there
might
actually
be
a
policy
question
here,
we
don't
necessarily
we're
not
legally
obligated
to
do
an
rfq
rfp
if
we
can
come
up
with
a
good
justification
and
maybe
a
good
justification
could
well.
Okay,
the
city
attorney
has
her
hand
up
so
I'll
go
there,
and
maybe
you
could
stop
me
in
my
tracks.
V
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
removing
the
ambiguity,
so
that
question
is
moot
now.
I
did
have
a
separate
question
about
the
housing
element
process.
Since
these
sites
are
included
within
the
site
inventory
are:
are
we
able
to
expedite
the
work
by
initiating
the
you
know,
the
environmental
review,
and
maybe
even
the
rezoning
and
general
plan
work
as
part
of
the
housing
element
rather
than
waiting
for
charities
and
for
the
prospective
developer
for
our
property?
To
do
that
work?
Can
we
speed
things
up
that
way.
U
A
F
And
so
I
essentially
I
say
yes
to
all
of
the
staff
proposals
on
you
know.
I
particularly
agree
that
we
need
to
do
family
units
and
serve
some
currently
homeless.
People
we've
not
been
able
to
serve
the
density.
I
agree
with,
and
the
parking
ratio.
I
guess
the
I
would
be
open
to
no
parking
minimums
with
the
with
the
chosen
provider
figuring
that
out
with
a
robust,
tdm
program,
but
see
whether
so
that
would
be
going
a
little
further
than
the
staff
recommendation.
F
Then,
in
terms
of
other
comments,
I'm
actually
open
to
taller
buildings
in
this
area.
I
know
that
one
of
the
limits
so
that
we
can
serve
more
people.
I
know
that
one
of
the
limit
I
mean
this
seems
like
a
particularly
appropriate
area
for
that,
because
there
are
no
single
family
homes
around
or
you
know
less
dense
buildings
and
residents.
F
Who
might
be
particularly
disturbed
by
that,
and
I
know
that
the
materials
are
what
made
mid-sized
buildings
and
like
the
7
to
14,
maybe
8-14
stories
more
prohibitive
or
they
wouldn't
pencil
out.
Basically
is
what
I've
been
told,
but
I
know
that
it
was
basically
going
to
steel
frames
didn't
pencil
out
in
that
range,
but
I
know
that
now,
given
mass
timber
that
and
maybe
other
materials
that
some
of
that
may
be
changing,
I
know
that
there
are
non-profit
housing
developers
that
are
building
mid
height,
like
first
community
housing.
F
I
guess,
has
a
7
and
a
13
story
building
so
using
mass
timber
which,
by
the
way
with
my
sort
of
if
you
have
an
architectural
background,
the
buildings
can
be
beautiful
so
which
is
important
to
me.
So
I
I
would
be
open
to
exploring
that
and
to
adding
a
little
density
and-
and
actually
this
is
not
on
our
plate
tonight,
but
that
whole
area,
I
would
be-
you
know,
interested
in
housing
more
people
by
looking
into
that
realm.
I
just
think
it's
an
excellent
location
for
that
and
why
limit
ourselves?
F
I
I
also
you,
know
the
the
transit
and
the
proximity
to
the
downtown,
make
it
an
excellent
location
for
that
as
well.
So
that's
one
comment
I'll
bring
it
up
now
and
maybe
in
future
areas
that
I
think
are
appropriate
for
that.
I
think
it's
the
time
I
am
also.
I'm
also
would
particularly
like
to
see
an
ample
tree
buffer
by
the
freeway
and
I
think,
taller
buildings
and
also,
as
other
council
members
have
been
talking
about,
coordination
with
charities.
Housing
would
allow
for
that.
F
I,
I
think,
we've
seen
over
the
past
week,
at
least
that
ample
tree
buffers
near
freeways
are
important
to
people,
including
myself,
and
as
far
as
fitting
into
the
area.
I
my
thoughts
on
that
I
are
that
and
whether
it
should
have
how
to
have
a
residential
look.
My
thoughts
on
that
are
to
look
at
equivalent
industrial
areas
like
the
dog
patch
area
in
san
francisco,
which
is
an
industrial
area,
that's
becoming
very
popular,
but
they
don't
do
faux
historic.
You
know
tall
buildings
with
craftsman,
details
or
something
like
that.
F
F
F
I'm
interested
in
ground
floor
uses
that
other
members
of
the
community
can
use,
if
possible,
so
that
we're
integrating
so
that
the
community
isn't
isolated
as
an
if
you
know
a
low-income
community,
if
other
people
would
feel
welcome
there,
whether
it's
for
bike
repair
used
bookstore
child
care,
you
know
whatever
I.
I
think
I
would
like
it
to
be
this
development
to
be
a
member
of
the
community
that
people
around
feel
comfortable
in
and
I
know,
as
we
talked
earlier,
that
can
be
hard
in
tax
credit
projects.
F
F
A
G
Okay,
I'm
just
gonna
go
down
the
list
that
vice
mayor
hicks
gave
us.
I
I
too
think
that
this
is
an
excellent
place
to
make
things
taller
and
that's
something
we
should
leave
open
to
the
developer
to
consider
and
she's
right.
There
are
a
lot
of
new
methodologies
that
are
being
considered
now
and
and
sort
of
have
are
coming
out
of
the
realm
of
research
too.
G
You
know
what
are
actually
being
done
commonly
that
that
allow
buildings
to
be
higher
less
expensively,
okay,
the
parking
ratio-
I
I
have
often
thought
that
letting
the
developer
decide
could
be
reasonable,
but
I,
anyway,
I
think
that
this
is
a.
This
is
a
logical
place
for
lower
parking
ratios
because
of
the
the
closeness
to
the
siemens
creek
trail,
the
train
station
downtown,
I
mean
it
should
be
a
really
walkable
community
and
and,
as
vice
mayor
hicks,
said,
one
of
the
ways
that
we
do.
G
G
G
It
is
really
important
that,
as
we
transition
this
site
from
a
safe
parking
site
to
a
you,
know
an
affordable
housing
site
that
we
don't
leave
the
people
who
are
residents
there
behind,
and
I
know
that
that
is
going
to
be
one
of
the
most
difficult
parts
of
this.
But
I
think
it's
something
that
we
you
know.
We
really
just
need
to
be
aware
of
right
from
the
get-go
that
it's
just
going
to
be
a
part
of
the
long-term
job
for
the
city.
G
And
then
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
inclusion
of
collaboration
with
the
the
other
land
owner
to
get
a
site
that
works
cohesively.
I
think
that
should
be
included
in
the
rfp
and
and
right
now.
Charities
housing
owns
that
site
and
it'd
be
great
if
they
held
on
to
it.
But
we
don't
know
that
they
will
sometimes
these
sites
change
hands.
So
I
think
it
might
be
prudent
to
say
something
along
the
lines
of
of
you
know
the
other
owners
or
the
owner
of
the
adjacent
site.
G
C
Thank
you
mayor.
I'm
very
glad
to
hear
my
other
colleagues
talking
about
ensuring
that
the
people
who
are
on
the
site,
through
virtue
of
safe
parking,
have
an
alternate
place
to
go
and-
and
I
know
that
city
staff
will
be
working
with
them
and
also
working
with
the
volunteers
and
the
service
providers,
who
have
been
there
through
safe
parking,
the
tutors
and
the
other
people
that
are
working
with
kids
and
families
there.
C
And
I
I
very
much
like
the
idea
of
the
wider
sidewalks.
I
I
want
to
make
sure
that
our
safe
routes
to
school
are
baked
in
from
the
very
beginning
of
this
process
and
I'm
flexible
on
the
mix
of
the
residents
in
terms
of.
Is
there
enough
of
a
critical
mass
to
have
service
providers
be
interested
to
coming
to
provide
the
the
services
that
are
needed
if
there's
a
smaller
number
of
people
who
need
them
on
the
site?
C
On
the
ground
floor,
it's
there's
not
a
lot
of
residential,
that's
very
close
to
here,
and
so
I'm
okay,
with
keeping
the
uses
of
the
the
ground
floor
for
the
the
families
and
and
individuals
who
will
be
living
there.
I
think
if
we
try
to
be
all
things
to
all
people
and
not
have
enough
in
terms
of
the
numbers
to
support
a
business
being
in
there,
I
would
rather
see
it
maxed
out
for
the
good
of
the
the
people
who
will
be
living
there
and.
C
E
Thank
you.
So
I
have
a
question
before
I
dive
into
this.
I
made
the
assumption
perhaps
incorrectly,
that
if
you
have
permanent
supportive
housing,
you
do
have
the
space
for
the
providers
to
meet
with
residents
or,
if
you
have
any
services
that
that's
factored
in,
is.
Is
that
not
the
case?
Do
we
have
to
specify
that.
E
E
If
we
had
a
council
meeting
where
we
didn't
talk
about
parking,
but
here
we
go
again,
I
I
am
concerned
about
having
a
fairly
low
parking
ratio,
which
is
why
I
was
asking
about
the
franklin
street
apartments,
because
this
isn't
close
to
a
lot
of
goods
and
services.
It
might
be
close
to
the
stevens
creek
trail
and
the
transit
center
relatively
speaking,
but
that
isn't
where
you
get
your
groceries
or
you
know,
buys
things.
E
I
guess
the
other
thing
is
when
we
look
at
the
cost.
I
know
in
the
past,
council
was
asked
to
look
at
the
cost
based
on
the
cost
per
bedroom,
whereas
a
lot
of
people
want
to
just
look
at
the
cost
per
unit
and
because
these
are
larger
units.
Potentially,
when
this
comes
back
to
us,
I
would
like
to
see
the
cost
per
bedroom.
E
D
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
to
staff.
This
was
a
very
well
put
together
presentation
and
very
thoughtful
approach
to
to
this
project.
I
appreciate
that
I
do
in
general
support
what's
being
recommended
and
the
comments
that
have
already
made
in
terms
of
the
mix
of
residents
I've
I
tend
to
and
continue
to
want
larger
units
that
can
support
families,
because
I
know
that
there
is
a
a
need
for
for
more
family
units.
So
the
two
three
bedrooms
you
know,
even
if
we
could
do
four,
I
would
be
open
to
that.
D
D
My
concern,
though,
is
that
the
more
the
more
folks
we
have
the
more
amenities
we
will
have.
You
know
we
should
be
providing
and-
and
that's
the
real,
I
think,
the
the
real
issue
here
as
councilmember
matacek
mentioned.
I
do
agree
with
her.
I
looked
on
the
map
and
it's
well.
I
already
stayed
in
the
grocery
store
and
save
more.
I
love
staying
more.
I
go
to
there
for
my
little
needs,
but
it's
not
a
full-fledged
grocery
store
by
any
means,
and
even
landlord
schools
is
0.6
miles.
D
So
it
is
a
ways
for
it
from
you
know,
from
amenities
from
services,
and
so
I
don't
think
it's
realistic
to
expect
folks
to
to
walk
from
here
biking.
I
know
we're
making
bike
improvements,
but
that
might
be
a
way
a
ways
away.
So
I
think
you
know,
depending
on
the
timing
of
this,
that
realistically
folks
are
gonna,
be
using
cars,
and
so
we
just
should
be.
D
I
just
have
to
share
this
because
you
know
in
general,
I
support
lower
parking
ratios
and
when
we
can,
but
at
the
luna
vista
opening
on
friday,
I
got
an
earful
from
a
resident
who
told
me
that
there's
not
enough
parking
and
he
needs
his
car
to
get
to
work
and
he
parked
his
car
on
el
camino.
He
and
someone
else
and
they
were
vandalized.
D
So
you
know
what
is
the
city
doing
to
provide
more
parking
for
residents,
and
you
know
it's
not
fair
to
expect
low-income
residents
to
not
drive.
So
you
know
like
I,
I
know
that's
one
one
person
or
two
people
or
however
many
folks
are
there
experiencing
that,
but
it
did
give
me
pause
to
think
about.
You
know
what
what
what
the
real
on
the
ground
situation
is,
and
so
I
would
hope
that
we
could
look
at
that.
A
little
more
carefully,
I
mean
luna
vista
is
right
on
el
camino
and.
R
D
Of
the
the
reasonings
and
encouraging
alternative
modes
transportation
and
the
bus
line,
none
of
that
worked
in
this
situation,
so
I
just
think
we
just
need
to
be
more
realistic
and
if
we
are
gonna
have
families
they
have
more
needs
frankly
to
get
to
places.
So
I
think
we
we
should
be
very
realistic
about
that
and
create
and
have
a
parking
ratio.
That
is
that
that
is
conducive
to
the
needs
of
the
residents
there.
D
So
that's
the
parking
issue
and
then
other
considerations,
as
my
line
of
questioning
was,
I
do
have
a
real
interest
in
trying
to
see
if
we
can
work
with
our
neighbor,
whether
it's
charities
or
whoever
else
to
to
maximize
the
land
and
and
share
resources
and
try
to
build
as
many
units
as
we
can
on
that
property.
But
I
would
say
you
know
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
we
provide
sufficient
amenities
and
I
do
agree.
D
A
Thank
you
very
much,
so
I
think
we're
getting
to
a
second
round.
I'm
gonna
ask
a
quick
question
of
staff.
We
did
have
a
couple
of
suggestions
for
exploring
ground
floor
uses
which
I
think
is
contemplated
in
the
staff
recommendation,
but
is
the
policy
question
for
us
whether
the
city,
whether
the
council,
would
be
willing
to
provide
a
city
subsidy
to
help
make
the
ground
floor?
Retail
work
is
that?
Is
that
really
the
question
we
should
be
asking
ourselves.
U
Council
member,
I
think
we
just
wanted
to
focus
on
the
question
of
whether
or
not
the
council
was
interested
in
seeing
the
ability
of
folks
to
propose
something
and
get
creative
about
it.
I
I
think
we
need
to
be
realistic
in
in
letting
people
know
that
we
want
them
to
maximize
out
other
funding,
and
so
they
can't
expect
funding
for
that
particular
purpose,
and
they
need
to
put
the
proposal
to
gather
the
best
they
can.
A
Okay,
so
it
should,
if
the
council
were
to
affirm
affirmatively
say
we
want
to
include
within
the
rf
qrsp
some
provision
for
ground
floor
uses
that
are
publicly
accessible.
Then
we
should
come
in
with
the
understanding
right,
the
eyes
wide
open
that
there
will
probably
be
an
ask
for
a
subsidy
to
make
it
work.
Okay,
that
will
influence
how
I
ask
the
question:
once
we've
concluded
the
deliberation
just
very
quickly,
so
a
lot
of
the
ideas
that
have
been
shared,
I
generally
support
so
I'll.
A
Ask
the
question
you
know
for
some
of
these,
even
though
I'm
not
sure
it's
really
necessary,
so
like
wide
sidewalks.
I
think
the
council
has
long
expressed
an
interest
in
walkability
and
improving
bicycle
and
pedestrian
amenities.
So
I
I'm
I
might
ask
that
just
to
get
the
show
of
hands
to
ensure
it's,
you
know
included,
you
know
and
expressed
to
the
prospective
developers,
but
you
know,
some
of
those
I
think
are
are
very
easy
to
support.
A
I'm
interested
in
exploring
you
know
or
allowing
for
higher
densities
or
taller
buildings,
and
I
would
say
we
don't
necessarily
stipulate.
We
see
what
the
developers
propose
to
us,
whether
that
influences
our
interest
in
pursuing
one
particular
project
over
another.
You
know,
I
think,
probably
the
biggest
question
will
be.
What
do
we
do
about
parking?
A
And
personally
I
I'm
comfortable
with
not
explicitly
saying
we
need
a
certain
amount
of
parking
but
letting
the
the
each
developer
come
forward
with
a
proposal
and
and
then
I
agree
that
you
know
if
there
is
a
ratio.
That
is,
you
know,
maybe
a
little
bit
more
challenging
that
it
include
a
requirement
for
a
parking
study
to
justify
it.
So
that's
where
I'm
landing
so
far
and
what
will
now
go
to
the
second
round
and
then
once
we've
concluded
I'll,
go
ahead
and
run
through
the
list
of
questions
by
smear
thanks.
F
F
I
certainly
wasn't
saying
that
I
I
do
think,
though,
that
if
there
are,
I
would
prefer
that
if
there
were
ground
floor
uses
such
as
bike,
repair
or
or
community
meeting
room,
you
know
many
community
meeting
rooms.
I
see,
lie
empty.
You
know
much
of
the
time
that
they're,
if
possible,
that
there
be
some
way
that
those
be
shared
with
other
members
of
the
community
and
then
I've
seen
community
in
frankly,
other
states
community
meeting
rooms
with
used
bookstores
in
them.
F
So
it's
just
and
I
liked
the
idea
of
child
care,
which
I
think
doesn't
have
to
be
on
a
retail
corridor.
It's
a
different
kind
of
ground
floor
use,
so
those
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
I
would
be
interested
in,
although
with
all
the
talk
of
grocery
stores,
I
have
to
say
that
if
somebody
proposed
an
amazon
go
on
the
ground
floor,
maybe
it
would
solve
some
of
the
problems
that
people
have
there.
F
I've
heard
I've
never
experienced
one
myself,
but
I've
heard
that
they're
very
small
and
provide
a
lot
of
the
things
that
one
would
need
to
you
know
to
to
walk
to
for
your,
so
it
could
operate
sort
of
like
a
corner
store
or
a
csa.
Drop-Off
point
would
be
another
thing
that
I
think
might
be
a
resource
for
the
community,
so
I'm
not
looking
to
kick
start
a
retail
corridor
a
shopping
center,
but
I
am
open
to
and
would
even
encourage
some
of
those
kinds
of
community
uses.
C
V
V
U
S
Thank
you
rt,
and
thanks
for
the
question.
Typically,
what
we
have
in
our
affordable
housing
projects
and
with
our
bmr
program
is
that
we
will
implement
the
city's
live,
work
preference
where
feasible
and
we
always
work
with
our
developer
partners
to
see
if
that's
feasible.
Some
of
the
restrictions
that
can
come
up
depend
on
the
funding
sources,
so
the
tax
credit
program
or
other
state
funding
sources
may
have
limitations.
S
U
C
A
Any
additional
comments:
council,
member
library,
okay,
thank
you
for
my
benefit
staff,
because
it
is
a
request
from
a
council
member.
Would
it
be
fair
to
say
then
to
express
the
preference
of
a
live
work?
Preference
to
the
extent
legally
feasible
is
that
is
that
fair
direction
to
provide
the
staff?
Or
do
you
have
any
concerns
about
that?
So
that's,
okay,.
F
F
I
was
thinking,
maybe
something
along
the
lines
of
a
pathway
for
current
rv
residents
and
homeless
people
in
mountain
view,
if
feasible,
since
that's
something
staff's
working
on.
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
councilman
a
way
that
council
member
mata
check
would
word
that,
given
the
recent
information
or
or
just
go
with
what
you
you
came
up
with
a
moment
ago,
but
that
those
were
my
thoughts.
A
Thank
you.
My
understanding
was
the
staff
recommendation
already
included
exploration
of
ways
to
retain
or
to
to
help
transition
the
folks
from
the
safe
parking
lot
either
into
the
new
development
or
into
other
alternatives.
So
if
the
first
question
I'm
gonna
ask
is,
is
there
support
for
the
staff
recommendations
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
the
additional
direction?
A
C
A
Thank
you
any
additional
comments
or
questions,
not
I'm
going
to
run
through
the
the
recommendations
and
we'll
just
take
a
straw
motion
by
raising
hands.
The
first
is
the
baseline
staff
recommendation.
So,
if
that's
approved,
then
any
recommendations
made
afterwards
would
modify
the
staff
recommendation,
but
is
there
generally
support
for
the
staff
recommendations?
E
A
A
I
I
just
don't
want
to
have
like
five
different
votes
on
parking,
because
I
don't
know
which
one's
going
to
get
majority
support
but
as
a
baseline
level.
The
staff
recommendation
is
that
okay,
sure,
okay,
so
zap
recommendations
and
then
we'll
go
we'll
take
we'll
visit
the
other
ideas
afterwards.
So
one
two
three
four
five,
so
just
just
as
a
baseline,
we're
moving
forward
with
staff
recommendations.
Now
the
following
ideas
will
change
those
recommendations
and
let's
do
the
easy
ones.
First,
so
is
there
support
for
including
exploration
of
wyber,
sidewalks
and.
A
Tree
buffers
by
the
freeway
one,
two,
three,
four
five,
so
that's
unanimous
and
staff
can
decide
how
best
to
incorporate
that
into
the
rfq
rsp.
Is
there
support
for
allowing
exploration
of
higher
densities
and
taller
buildings
than
what
is
included
in
the
staff
recommendations,
so
letting
the
developers
provide
different
recommendations
above
beyond
those
one?
Two,
three,
four?
A
A
A
And
then,
after
all
of
this
all
that
stuff,
if
you
need
clarification
on
any
of
these
and
then
you
know
getting
into
the
more
challenging
ones,
there
was
a
recommendation
to
express
the
preference,
a
live
work,
preference
to
the
greatest
extent
legally
feasible.
Is
there
support
for
that
one?
Two,
three,
four:
five!
A
Yes,
there
is
support
for
that,
and
then
there
was
a
recommendation
to
not
have
a
minimum
parking
requirement,
but
instead
to
allow
the
developer
to
suggest
a
recommended
amount
of
parking
justified
by
a
parking
study
and
with
a
tdm
program.
Is
there
support
for
that
one?
Two:
three,
there
was
not
support
for
that.
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
the
clarification,
but
just
to
make
sure
we
are
all.
On
the
same
page,
I'll
ask
the
question
one
more
time.
The
recommendation
was
to
have
a
requirement
of
one
space
per
unit
minimum
and
then,
if
the
developer
provided
a
parking
study
to
justify
a
lower
ratio,
then
that
could
be
considered.
If
there's
support
for
that
recommendation,
one
two
three
there
is
not
so
that
means
that
the
parking
ratio
supported
by
a
majority
of
the
council
is
the
staff
recommendation.
A
So
here's
what
I've
got
the
staff
recommendations
with
council
direction
for
wider
sidewalks
or
consideration
of
wider
sidewalks
and
a
tree
buffer
along
the
freeway
allowing
the
or
exploration
of
higher
densities
and
taller
buildings.
So
you
know,
as
as
suggested
by
the
developer
for
council
considerations,
exploration
of
a
publicly
available
or
accessible
ground
floor
use
and
a
preference
for
a
live
work,
preference
to
the
greatest
extent
legally
feasible.
A
A
Not
then
thank
you
michaela
and
wayne
and
our
team
for
the
presentation
and
for
doing
your
good
work
on
this
very
exciting
to
move
forward
with
this
affordable
housing
proposal.
Thank
you
very
much,
so
I'm
gonna
request
of
my
colleagues.
If
you
don't
mind,
I'd
like
to
start
the
regular
session,
do
the
pledge
of
allegiance
and
the
presentations
and
then
we'll
take
a
break
before
the
consent
calendar
is
that
okay,
because
I
think
some
items
will
be
pulled.
A
You
might
spend
some
time
on
that,
okay
and
I'm
going
to
start
the
6
30
regular
session
at
6
37
pm
good
evening.

A
To

learn,
educate
and
share
opportunities,
challenges,
best
practices

That
is
the
right

especially
during
these
unprecedented

and
whereas
the
city
of
mountain
view
will
continue
to
collaborate
with
its

and
lead

in
the
production,
protection
and
preservation
of

and
in
the
past

Y
Yes,
thank

Thank

I'm

I'm.
Actually,
this
is
the
first
time
I'm
actually
seeing
them.
Usually
we
communicate
via
email.
Y
In
the

precise
plan
to
the
new
partnership
for
the
bay's
future
grant
focused
on
advancing
equitable
housing
policies
to
the
recent
opening

We
also
want

thank
the
advocates
and
residents
who
support
the
policies
and
projects
making
mountain
view
a
leader
in
the
region
on

Y
We
would
like
to
draw
attention
to
the
many
events
listed
on
our
website
for
affordable
housing
month
2022
to
celebrate
this
month
that
you
here
proclaimed
all
together.
There
are
over
50
events
happening
this
month,
educating
about
and
celebrating
affordable
housing.
Our
theme
this
year,
reimagining
home,
invites
participants
to
think
outside
of
the
box,
deepening
their
knowledge
and
shifting
the
collective
perspective
on
building
equitable,
inclusive
and
restorative
communities.
Y
A
Z
I
just
just
very
very
quickly
thank
the
mountain
view,
council
for
your
long-term
support
of
affordable
housing
and
of
alta
housing.
Specifically,
I
also
wanted
to
personally
thank
the
council
for
your
acknowledgement,
your
previous
acknowledgement
of
asian
pacific
american
month
and
specifically
mayor
for
your
mention
of
the
intern
internment
of
japanese
americans
that
event
directly
affected
my
family
with
their
internment
at
jerome
arkansas.
So
I
did
just
want
to
make
those
remarks
and
and
thank
the
council.
Z
AA
AA
It
was
a
particularly
challenging
time
for
us,
the
staff
to
hear
and
read
all
the
messages
and
just
wanted
to
commend
the
council
for
their
continued
leadership
and
the
staff
for
their
perseverance
and
being
honest
with
the
community
and
answering
all
the
questions.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
your
partnership.
A
A
If
not
thank
you
very
much,
sonia
randy
and
consuelo.
The
only
other
group
that
I
would
like
to
recognize
are
the
city
staffs
who
do
phenomenal
work,
as
we
saw
in
the
previous
item
in
reviewing
the
projects
and
helping
make
these
very
challenging
projects
viable
and,
ultimately
to
deliver
them.
So
this
is
a
celebration
of
your
work
as
much
as
it
is
our
partners
in
the
community.
So
thank
you
all
very
much
for
joining
us.
A
Now,
therefore,
I
lucas
ramirez
mayor
of
the
city
of
mountain
view,
along
with
my
colleagues
on
the
city
council,
do
recognize
the
week
of
may
15th
through
may
21st
2022
as
national
public
works
week,
and
urge
all
citizens
to
join
with
representatives
of
the
american
public

association
and
government
agencies
and
activities,
events
and
ceremonies
designed
to
pay
tribute
to
our
public

professionals,
engineers,
managers
and
employees,
and
to
recognize
the
substantial
contributions
they
make
to
protect
our
national
health
safety
and
quality
of
life.
Public
works
director
cameron.
AB
AB
AB
At
the
same
time,
public
works
is
in
the
forefront
of
meeting
the
councils
and
community
goals
for
sustainability
and
resiliency,
with
water
resources,
promoting
water
conservation,
solid
waste,
helping
our
community
move
towards
zero
waste
transportation
and
traffic
working
toward
more
and
safer
bicycle
and
pedestrian
facilities
and
engineering.
Designing
and
constructing
recycled
water
and
sea
level
rise
projects.
AB
New
all-electric
buildings,
such
as
the
ringstorm
aquatic
center,
new
parks
and
major
transportation
improvements.
I
feel
fortunate
to
have
an
exceptional
team
of
public
works.
Employees
who
help
keep
the
city
running,
and
they
do
it
well
with
a
commitment
to
service
professionalism
and
hard
work,
they
amaze
me
every
day
with
their
readiness
and
resiliency
and
taking
on
new
challenges.
AB
A
F
So,
for
my
few
words,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
steal
a
comment
from
my
sister
who
a
comment
she
made
when
she
was.
She
became
a
doctor
when
she
got
her
degree.
You
know
people
congratulated
her
and
and
told
her.
They
were
so
proud
because
think
of
how
life
expectancy
in
america
has
increased
over
the
past
century,
you
know
because
of
doctors
like
her
and
she
said.
F
Actually,
when
we
we
studied
public
health
in
school,
we
were
told
that
it
wasn't
doctors,
primarily
it
was
planners,
that's
for
myself
and
and
people
working
for
for
the
public
were
in
public
works.
So
my
thank
you
is
thank
you
for
increased
life
expectancy
and
and
public
health
and
keep
up
the
good
work.
G
Yes,
I'd
just
like
to
also
offer
my
thanks
to
the
public
works
staff.
I
think
that
public
works
is
just
really
foundational
to
a
civil
society
and
you
they
hear
from
us
when
things
don't
work.
We
just
sort
of
take
many
of
the
things
that
are
part
of
public
works
for
granted,
but
they're
actually
quite
complex,
like
like
our
water
systems
and
our
wastewater
systems
and
our
solid
waste
systems
and
our
roads,
and
it
they
make
our
lives
much
better.
A
Thank
you
any
other
members
of
the
council
wishing
to
speak
if
not
I'll,
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
3.4.
Thank
you
again
don.
Hopefully
I
can
get
through
this
without
losing
my
voice.
We
are
happy
to
be
joined
this
evening
by
bicycle
pedestrian
advisory
committee,
chair
valerie
fenwick,
who
will
accept
this
proclamation?
A
R
AC
AC
A
A
We
will
now
take
the
public
comment
on
the
presentation
items.
Would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comment
on
the
presentation
items
listed
on
the
agenda?
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand,
button
and
zoom
or
press
star
9
on
your
phone.
A
timer
will
be
displayed
on
the
screen.
A
We
have
one
member
of
we've
got
a
couple
of
members,
so
this
is
for
the
presentations
only
not
for
any
other
item
on
the
agenda.
So
if
you
would
like
to
speak
regarding
the
presentations
you've
just
heard,
please
raise
your
hand,
I'm
no
longer
seeing
members
of
the
public
wishing
to
speak
on
the
presentation.
So
we
will
conclude
the
presentations
and
take
a
break.
How
about
7
15.?
Does
that
work
for
everybody
all
right,
so
we'll
take
a
break
until
7
15
see
you
then.
A
F
So
if
that's
the
case,
I
won't
be
I'll
I'll,
just
comment
on
it
and
let
other
members
of
the
public
and
council
members
comment
on
it.
Is
that
the
case
that
if
you
could
digest
everything,
I
just
said,
is
that
the
case
that
I
can
just
comment
on
it?
Other
people
can
comment
on
it
and
then
because
it's
just
an
update
and
then
we
have
the
ability
to
adapt
the
process
as
as
as
it
goes
to
the
prc
and
so
forth.
W
F
Yes,
so
I
would
like
to
comment
on
it.
Let
other
council,
people
and
members
of
the
public
comment
on
it,
but
not
pull
it,
although
frankly
it
doesn't
to
pull
it
and
then
pass
it
wouldn't
make
much
difference
and
for
members
of
the
public
they
could
comment
on
it.
When
the
mayor
takes
comments
on
all
of
the
consent
items,
I
assume
just
to
be
clear
so
that
people
aren't
left
out.
F
I
assumed
that
I
could
comment
on
it
then,
and
that
members
of
the
public
I
want
to
make
them
aware
that
if
they
want
to
comment
on
it,
they
would
do
it.
When
you
take
general
comment
on
all
the
consent
items,
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
do
in
order
to
make
the
meeting
work
efficiently,
and
I'm
also
trying
to
be
clear
on
it.
F
E
Thank
you.
So
I
also
have
comments
on
4.2
that
I
would
like
to
make,
but
I
also
have
a
question
on
4.5
and
if
it's
I
might
not
have
to
pull
that
for
being
looked
at
separately.
I
sent
in
the
question
about
the
tot
and
whether
or
not
we
could
have
the
consultant,
take
a
look
at
that
and
give
us
their
perspective
on
timing
and
increase,
and
it
came
back
saying.
Yes,
we
could
expand
the
scope,
but
I
wasn't
sure
did
that
mean?
W
Mayor
ramirez
and
council
member
matacek,
so
this
is
something
that
staff
can
incorporate
as
part
of
the
economic
vitality
strategy
and
looking
at
our
overall,
what's
happening
with
tot,
what's
happening
in
the
region
and
what
they
may
recommend.
So
I
believe
this
is
something
that
we
can
incorporate
as
part
of
the
scope.
A
Thank
you
would
any
other
member
of
the
council
like
to
pull
an
item,
if
not
I'm
going
to
call
4.4
plant-based
eating
resolution
program
and
I'm
just
taking
some
notes.
So
I
can
remember
that
seeing
no
other
members
of
the
council
wishing
to
speak,
as
vice
mayor
hicks
mentioned,
we
will
first
take
public
comment
for
every
item
on
the
consent.
Calendar
except
4.4,
plant-based
eating
resolution
and
program.
We'll
take
public
comment
on
that
separately.
After
we've
dispensed
with
the
balance
of
the
consent
calendar.
A
A
AD
I
would
like
to
speak
on
consent
item
4.2
parks,
an
open
space
update
audubon
appreciates
the
intent
to
start
a
parks
and
recreation,
strategic
plan,
biodiversity
strategy
and
a
community
tree
master
plan
update.
The
biodiversity
strategy
is
broad
in
scope
and
expected
to
influence
the
heritage
tree,
ordinance,
landscaping,
ordinance,
lighting,
ordinance,
community
tree
master
plan
parks
and
recreation,
strategic
plan,
the
active
transportation
plan
and
shoreline
managed
wildlife
management
plan.
AD
We
are
facing
a
global
biodiversity
crisis
with
the
bay
area,
one
of
the
most
at
risk
locations
for
losing
biodiversity
in
north
america.
Mountain
view
has
been
able
to
keep
some
endangered
species
from
becoming
extirpated
the
borrowing
owls,
for
example,
but
they
too
are
on
the
brink
of
disappearance
from
our
area.
We
must
expedite
the
work
on
biodiversity
strategy,
so
implementation
can
start
sooner
rather
than
later.
There
is
an
urgency
to
protect
and
expand
parks,
biodiversity
lighting
and
the
community
forest.
Thank
you
for
your
consider.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
P
Yes,
we
can
okay.
Thank
you,
yeah.
I
want
to
speak
on
4-2
also
and
now
that
I've
heard
from
council
member
hicks
that
it's
going
to
be
handled
by
prc
coming
up.
I
don't
necessarily
want
to
say
too
much
on
this,
but
the
comment
that
was
already
made
about
the
timeline
this
for
green
space
is
mountain
view.
This
is
a
big
concern
too.
There
is
too
much
going
on
around
biodiversity
and
canopy
and
climate
protection,
and
all
of
that
to
have
things
wait
too
long.
P
We're
somewhat
concerned
with
the
community
tree
master
plan,
staggered
schedule
where
they
do
tweaking
for
the
first
five
years
and
then
major
changes
in
the
last
part,
and
I
can
bring
this
up
with
prc
and
also
putting
the
community
tree.
Master
plan
in
with
biodiversity
in
general
might
not
be
broad
enough,
because
there
are
other
considerations
to
take
into
account
I'll
leave
off
the
rest
and
save
that
for
a
prc
and
on
4.6.
P
Can
I
just
go
into
that.
I
said:
that's:
okay,
yeah,
okay,
that's
about
moffett
wisman
repaving
projects,
and
I
was
a
little
puzzled.
What
that
meant,
because
that's
not
a
location,
it's
an
area,
and
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
I
personally
hope
that
that
will
include
the
bike
lane
on
north
lisbon
between
whisman
station
drive
and
dana
street,
the
bikeways
there
are
in
very
poor
condition
and
they're
not
adequately
inviting
to
anyone,
particularly
those
who
might
be
hesitant
about
biking
in
our
city.
P
AE
Yeah,
I
mean,
I
think
one
thing
where
there
is
kind
of
intersection
of
all
these
plans
is
that
if
you
don't
have
park
space,
it
makes
having
a
really
good
biodiversity
plan
and
canopy
plan.
It
just
makes
it
that
much
harder
to
implement,
and
I
think
that's
to
me.
One
of
the
heart
of
the
problems
is
just
that
the
city
has
does
not
have
very
much
party
city
park
space
that
it
owns
itself.
AE
I
think
the
reliance
there's
a
huge
reliance
on
school
owned
property.
There
seems
to
be
going
forward
going
to
be
a
very
big
reliance
on
privately
owned
park.
Space
that
may
or
may
not
be
accessible
at
you
know
all
the
times
that
say
cuesta
park
would
be,
and
I
think
this
is
something
that
I
hope
that
you
all
the
seven
of
you
as
well
as
city
staff,
really
think
deeply
about.
This
is
not
something
that
is
going
to
be
solved
overnight.
AE
It's
not
something
that
without
a
lot
of
deep
thought
and
a
lot
of
kind
of
discussions
will
be
solvable.
I
don't
think
this
is
an
easy
problem
to
solve
we're,
not
growing
more
land
and,
as
far
as
I
can
tell,
we
haven't
figured
out
how
to
build
over
over
water.
Yet
so
you
know,
I
think
this
is
something
that
if
we
don't
start
thinking
about
it
now,
the
problem
is
only
going
to
get
worse
and
I
really
try
want.
AE
B
AF
You
hear
me
yeah
okay,
so
I
also
wanted
to
speak
on
4.2
one
thing
kind
of
in
line
with
what
everyone
else
has
said
that
we
would
like
to
see
like
a
faster
timeline
and
more
of
a
focus
on
like
really
achievable
goals
like
quantifiable
and
achievable
goals.
One
thing
I
would
love
to
see
on
there
would
be
something
about
evaluating
and
assessing
the
ratios
for
park
space
related
to
new
developments,
so
either
the
in
lieu
fees
or
the
space
provided.
AF
Currently,
the
ratios
are
at
1.5
per
thousand
residents
on
average,
and
since
quimby
is
three
that
means
we're
actually
being
taken
away
from
going
towards
quimby
act
of
three
acres
per
thousand
residents,
because
all
of
the
like
sb9s
they're
not
going
to
be
required
to
contribute
to
that,
so
we're
actually
going
to
get
worse
park
ratios
over
time
with
the
ones
we
have
currently.
So
I
would
like
to
see
an
evaluation
of
that
and
maybe
some
sort
of
timeline
on
recommending
that
that
get
reassessed
and
possibly
changed.
AF
I
don't
know
that
prc
is
able
to
change
it
themselves,
but
at
least
a
recommendation
of
what
that
should
be,
so
that
we
can
actually
meet
our
quimbiac
goals.
I
think
that's
where
the
five
acres
per
thousand
residents
in
our
neighboring
cities
is
coming
from,
because
they're
actually
trying
to
catch
up,
whereas
we're
falling
further
behind.
AG
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
good
evening,
city,
council
and
city
staff.
My
name
is
hala
al-shawani,
I'm
a
long-time
resident
in
mountain
view
on
4.2.
Yes,
I
would
like
to
see
the
council
move
the
timeline,
so
there
are
decisions
to
protect
and
save
our
heritage
trees
and
cooperate
them
into
the
design
of
new
developments
would
come
much
sooner
than
later
in
2024.
AG
The
last
the
last
list
of
developments
that
the
city
listed
there
were
total
of
1760
heritage,
mature
trees,
are
either
being
removed
or
will
be
removed
in
the
in
the
process
of
getting
these
developments
built.
So
I
urge
you
to
really
put
an
urgent
timeline
to
come
up
with
a
plan
that
can
save
these
trees
and
coor
and
cooperate
them
into
a
sustainable
design
that
can
serve
the
community
in
growing,
but
also
keeping
our
lives
and
our
communities
sustainable.
AG
A
E
Thank
you,
so
I
do
want
to
make
a
couple
of
comments
on
4.2.
I
am
concerned
about
the
timing,
as
has
been
mentioned
by
quite
a
few
folks
here,
of
both
of
the
plans.
Let's
put
it
that
way,
and
I
am
wondering
if
there
is
a
way
to
do
phases
where
we
can
get
some
phase,
one
actions
done
sooner
rather
than
later.
E
I
I
do
feel
a
sense
of
urgency
around
these,
because
we
are
a
critical
point
and
I
don't
want
to
lose
any
of
our
wildlife
birds
other
things
because
of
a
changing
environment,
and
so
I
do
feel
a
great
sense
of
urgency.
I
feel
the
sense
of
urgency
around
parks
too,
because,
as
have
been
pointed
out,
land
is
a
finite
resource.
E
E
But
I
think
maybe
we
need
to
revisit
them
and
focus
on
smaller
areas
if
possible
and
then
for
the
biodiversity
strategy
which,
as
the
staff
report
proposes,
is
to
include
the
community
tree
master
plan.
I
am
concerned
about
the
community
tree
master
plan
kind
of
getting
lost
in
that,
and
so
I'm
glad
that
the
prc
is
going
to
discuss
this
and
I
hope
they
can
come
up
with
a
good
solution.
E
F
So
I
originally
spoke
up
on
4.2
the
parks
and
open
space
update
because
it
was
on.
It
was
on
the
consent
calendar
and
I
think
it's
a
really
important
topic
for
our
city
and
and
many
residents
of
the
city
have
said
that
they
think
it's
important
as
well,
and
so
I
didn't
want
it
to
get
lost
in
the
in
all
our
numerous
sort
of
before
summer
break
consent.
F
Calendar
items
I
want
to
say
this
is
a
highlight
that
it's
really
important
and
that
it's
become,
as
several
people
have
said,
urgent
in
part,
because
I
guess
this
has
been
happening
gradually
over
time,
as
our
population
has
been
growing,
particularly
over
the
past
decade
and
also,
as
I
think,
our
access
to
the
schoolyards
parks
has
been
gradually
eroding,
with
summer
school
and
after
school
program
sort
of
that
more
intensive
use
by
the
schools
of
those
yards.
And
then
the
sudden.
F
I
I
think
the
the
fencing
was
kind
of
the
straw
that
we
needed
to
to
draw
to
our
attention
what's
been
happening
over
time,
that
those
are
no
longer
really
places
that
we
can
rely
on
as
neighborhood
parks.
So
I
think
that
that
just
makes
this
whole
realm
of
things
I
very
important
and
urgent.
I
agree
with
what
what
is
named
in
the
update
combining
multiple
plans,
I
think,
combining
them
under
the
biodiversity
plan.
I
don't
think
we
should
silo
them
and
look
at
them
separately.
F
So
I
am
so
I'm
aware
of
that,
and
I
you
know
I
wanted
to
speak
out
about
that
I'm.
I
am
hoping
that
the
next
prc
meeting
will
be
a
good
place
to
hash
that
out
in
great
detail
and
I'm
encouraging
interested
members
of
the
public
to
go
there.
I
don't
think
right
now
we
can
make
a
pronouncement
on
on
what
that
will
be,
but
I'm
going
to
bring
up
two
other
things
that
I
hope
come
up
during
that
discussion.
F
There
was
a
talk
I
I
agreed
mostly
with
what
probably
completely
with
about
council
member
matacek
said
about
phasing.
I
also
want
to
look
at
equity.
You
know.
Clearly,
there
are
areas
of
the
city
that
are
much
better
served
with
parks
than
other
areas.
So,
of
course
that's
something
we
have
to
look
at,
and
I
also
think
we
have
to
do
a
deep
dive
on
the
changing
needs
for
parks.
Over
time.
F
F
They
needed
baseball
fields,
because
you
couldn't
play
baseball
in
an
orchard,
but
you
could
walk
past
one
we're
in
a
different
place
now
you
know
we
need
different
things,
probably
than
we
needed
when
our
we
need,
as
we
densify
and
we
no
longer
have
orchards
around.
We
need
a
whole
different
set
of
things,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
we
do
a
deep
dive
on
that
as
well.
So
those
are
my
comments.
Thank
you.
D
D
In
particular,
some
and
a
member
of
the
public
had
mentioned
designing,
with
trees
in
mind
and
in
for
and
I'm
thinking
frankly,
the
project
we're
gonna
see
next
is
an
example
of
something
where
you
know
we,
trees
are
being
proposed
to
more.
Trees
are
being
supposed
to
be
saved
after
the
fact.
But
you
know
it's
been
a
topic
of
conversation.
D
I
know
my
former
colleague
councilmember
bryant
used
to
bring
it
up,
but
how
do
we
encourage,
or
even
start
to
require
you
know
certain
more
trees
to
be
heritage,
trees
to
be
saved
to
design
around
the
trees?
Where
possible?
Should
we
even
start
to
put
in
you
know,
guidelines
or
numeric?
You
know
actual
numbers
or
goals
on
goals.
Number
numerical
goals
on
you
know
how
many
trees
should
be
saved
so
that
we
don't
do
it
after
the
fact,
but
actually
do
it
up
front.
D
So
I
hope
that
that's
something
that
can
be
included
and
and
if
there
are
ways
to
speed
up
certain
parts
of
this
planning
process,
we
do
that
and
include
include
the
issue
of
design
with
trees
in
mind
as
one
of
the
items
to
look
at
immediately,
just
because
within
two
years
you
know,
I
imagine
we're
gonna,
see
quite
a
few
housing
projects
or
just
development
projects
in
the
next
two
years.
Thank
you.
G
Yeah
I
just
wanted
on
top
of
what
everyone
else
has
said.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
the
prc
in
advance
for
all
the
work
they're
going
to
do
for
the
community.
This
is
a
very
important
topic
and
I,
having
worked
in
the
environmental
field
for
many
years,
I
know
that
biodiversity
is
really
not
something
you
can
separate
out
at
any
time.
You're
looking
at
wildlife
and
and
tree
and
flora
issues,
I
mean
it's
just
inextricably
combined,
so
you
know
it
is
possible
to
to
develop
a
separate
biodiversity
plan.
A
G
Okay,
well
I'll
move
the
balance
of
the
consent
calendar.
I
think
I
can
just
read
it
here
from
the
the
agenda
flow
right.
I
move
the
balance
of
the
consent.
Calendar
number
one
adopt
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
mountain
view
authorizing
and
continuing
virtual
meetings
of
city
council
committees,
boards
and
commissions
pursuant
to
ab361
and
making
required
findings
to
be
read
and
title
only
further.
G
Reading
waves
4.3
adopt
a
ordinance
of
the
city
of
mountain
view,
adding
section
2.69.3,
entitled
military
equipment
policy
to
the
mountain
view,
city
code,
in
compliance
with

bill

to

and
further
title
further
and
to
be
read
and
title.
Only
further
reading
wave
4.4
adopt
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
supporting
a
plant-based.
A
A
A
Thank
you
very
much,
and
I
will
now
invite
audrey
to
the
panel,
because
that's
what
the
agenda
flow
says,
I
I
wanted
to
ask
a
couple
of
questions
and,
depending
on
staff's
response,
suggest
some
additional
direction
after
the
questions
I'll
go
to
public
comment,
so
members
of
the
public
feel
free
to
raise
their
hand.
If
you'd
like
to
speak
on
this
item
and
I'll
call
you
momentarily
so
first,
I
support
the
motion
or
that's
about
the
resolution
to
support
the
program.
I
think
it's
a
great
start.
A
I
do
feel
pretty
strongly,
though
about
in
whatever
way
is
palatable
to
staff
to
our
city,
employees
prohibiting
the
use
of
public
funding
or
public
money
on
animal
based
products,
and
I
wanted
to
get
a
sense
from
staff
of
for
the
municipal
operations
component
of
the
program.
To
what
extent
are
you
already
contemplating
that
and
if
not
what
type
of
direction
would
be
appropriate?
So
we
can
make
sure
we
can.
You
know
work
with
city
employees,
conduct
surveys
and
get
a
sense
of
what
options
might
be
most
palatable.
L
L
Rather
than
than
animal-based
options
in
terms
of
setting
a
target
for
reduction
or
elimination.
We
have
not
yet
considered
that
and
aren't
proposing
that
feeling
that
it
is
necessary
to
really
understand
what
employees
interests
and
concerns
might
be
with
that
and
really
having
employees
feel
supported
and
empowered
to
make
those
choices
so
that
we
don't
have
any
unintended
consequences
around
employees.
C
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I'm
wondering
as
it's
currently
constructed
would
that
impact
on
the
the
senior
lunches
and
the
the
meals
on
wheels,
or
I
know
a
number
of
the
neighborhood
associations
have
their
their
ice
cream
socials
that
they
get
grant
money
from
the
city.
So
would
it
impact
on
all
those
uses
and
then,
with
those
questions
about?
L
Thank
you
for
that
question.
Council
member
lieber.
That's
really
an
assessment
that
we
would
need
to
do
and,
I
would
kind
of
say,
we'd
have
to
follow
the
money.
Where
is
it
that
city
funds
are
being
used
to
purchase
food
and
beverages
for
whether
it's
employee
events
or
community
events
or
city
programs,
and
to
really
understand
what
the
implications
would
be
for
the
different
stakeholders?
L
Because
that's
also
surveying
we
have
not
done
we?
We
did
some
surveying
of
the
community
at
large
and
definitely
know
that
there
is
a
strong
and-
and
you
know
very
committed
group
of
of
folks
in
the
community,
as
well
as
in
community-based
organizations
who
really
believe
in
plant-based
eating
and
are
willing
to
work
with
us
and
help
us
towards
that.
But
we
haven't
really
done
a
more
focused
outreach
to
the
kinds
of
stakeholders
for
whom
this
would
be,
perhaps
an
a
change
that
they
they
weren't
really
already.
L
I
mean
I've
been
in
in
local
government
long
enough
and
know
that
these
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
people
tend
to
have
really
strong
feelings
about
on
both
sides.
If
you
will
I'm
not
trying
to
say
that
these
are
sides,
and-
and
I
do
think
it
would
come
back
to
to
staff-
to
try
to
to
help
walk
people
through
that-
and
you
know-
might
come
back
to
council
also,
if
that
were
you
know,
a
policy
direction
that
the
council
wishes
to
pursue.
C
And
have
have
we
had
conversations
with
the
the
chamber
yet
about
this,
because
I
noticed
in
the
staff
report
there
was
discussion
of:
let's
have
staff
assign
ratings
to
the
restaurants
in
mountain
view
of
you
know:
gold
silver
bronze
on
on
how
how
creative
they
are
with
plant-based
materials
and-
and
so
would
we
would
we
be
having
staff
go
out
and
do
that
or
have
we
had
conversations
with
the
chamber
about?
Would
they
help
us
to
promote
making
these
options
available.
L
They
see
this
as
a
potential
way
to
support
restaurants,
which
is
the
way
that
we're
seeing
it
and
proposing
it
as
well
that
that
it's
supporting
people
who
already
want
to
eat
in
a
plant-based
diet
find
those
options
more
easily
and
making
it
easier
for
restaurants,
who
want
to
do
more
than
they're
already
doing
to
to
to
do
that.
And,
and
so
we
would
absolutely
work
with
the
chamber
more.
F
So
my
question
is:
is
I
know
that
I
know
that
council
allocated
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
city
efforts
towards
plant-based
eating
which,
frankly,
it
seems
like
what
we're
getting
what
I
read
in
the
staff.
It
seems
like
we're
getting
a
pretty
big
bang
for
a
buck,
but
I'm
wondering
how
you're
thinking
about
this
in
terms
of
a
multi-year
effort.
F
I
don't
just
want
to
say
well,
people
who
are
already
vegan
can
continue
being
vegan
so
to
push
it
forward
without
without
turning
people
off
without
making
people.
Angry,
I
guess,
is
the
line
I'm
trying
to
walk.
So
I'm
wondering
so
my
question
is:
do
you
envision
this
as
a
multi-year
effort?
If,
if
we
give
you
thirty
thousand
dollars
next
year
as
well,.
L
I'm
not
sure,
I'm
I'm
ready
to
say
that
I
don't
think
we're
far
enough
along
in
the
program
design
to
understand
how
it's
going
and
what
might
be
the
the
logical
next
steps
and
also
how
it
fits
in
with
our
larging
larger
planning
efforts
around
carbon
neutrality
and
the
the
target
dates
that
we're
setting.
For
that.
I
think
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
priorities
just
within
sustainability
and
just
within
achieving
our
our
own
emissions
reduction
targets
for
our
community
greenhouse
gas
inventory,
and
so
there's
going
to
be
some
trade-offs
there.
L
F
A
Thank
you
very
much
any
other
questions
before
I
go
to
public
comment.
If
not,
I
will
ask
if
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
would
like
to
provide
comment
on
this
item.
4.4
plant-based
eating
resolution
and
program.
If
so,
please
click
the
raised
hand,
button
and
zoom
or
press
star
9
on
your
phone.
Let's
go
ahead
and
allocate
just
because
we're
getting
late,
one
minute
and
30
seconds.
AH
Sorry
about
that
now,
thank
you.
So
much
for
all
you
do
for
sustainability.
In
mountain
view,
I'm
grateful
for
your
efforts
to
promote
plant-based
eating
as
a
powerful
way
to
address
climate
change
and
other
environmental
issues,
I'm
with
plant-based
advocates
and
non-profit
group
working
to
educate
the
public
about
the
many
benefits
of
plant-based
eating,
and
we
would
also
be
willing
to
help
the
council
in
any
way
that
we
can.
AH
New
york
city
has
a
default
vegan
day
in
their
schools
once
a
week
where
they
provide
vegan
meals
for
all
students,
and
if
students
want
animal
products,
and
they
have
to
specifically
request
that.
So
that's
one
thing
that
you
could
consider
doing
since
a
plant-based
diet
helps
with
so
many
things,
not
just
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
but
biodiversity
and
reducing
pollution
and
the
ability
to
use
less
land
that
you
can
then
reforest,
which
can
take
carbon
out
of
the
air
and
also
provide
more
advantages
for
biodiversity.
AH
As
was
mentioned,
trees
and
biodiversity
kind
of
go
together,
so
if
we
can
eat
more
plants,
we
can
have
more
land
to
reforest
and
help
our
environment.
So
I'd
like
to
see
mountain
view,
do
more
to
promote
plant-based
eating,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
efforts
that
you've
already
done
so
far.
Thank
you
for
listening.
A
AI
Okay,
great
nice,
to
see
you
all
good
evening,
city,
council,
mayor
ramirez,
thanks
for
taking
my
comments,
recent
studies
have
found
that
rich
countries
need
to
reduce
meat
and
dairy
consumption
by
at
least
75
percent.
To
avoid
a
global,
ecological
and
food
system
collapse,
75
percent-
it's
an
immense,
almost
unbelievable
statistic,
but
it
is
true.
AI
The
fact
is.
Our
food
system
is
completely
out
of
control.
We
now
feed
the
majority
of
our
crops
to
livestock
rather
than
humans
and
livestock
outnumber
wild
animals
by
at
least
15
to
1.
in
the
u.s
farm.
Animal
waste
outweighs
human
waste
by
at
least
a
factor
of
a
hundred,
so
our
our
food
system
drives
not
only
climate
change
but
destroys
rain.
AI
AI
AJ
Great
thank
you
mayor
and
council.
My
name
is
karen
rubio,
I'm
an
environmentalist
journalist
and
co-founder
of
non-profit
plant-based
advocates
in
los
gatos,
and
I'm
asking
the
council
to
take
action
to
ensure
a
habitable
planet
for
our
children
by
including
education
about
plant-based
diets
into
your
programs.
AJ
AJ
A
AK
Thank
you,
mayor
ramirez.
This
is
peter
katz,
ceo
of
the
chamber
of
commerce.
First,
I
wanted
to
echo
what
assistant
manager
ramberg
said
that
the
chamber
is
indeed
engaged
in
these
conversations
conversations
and
committed
to
help
our
businesses
move
towards
the
goal
of
plant-based
eating
council
member
lieber
asked.
How
much
are
we
willing
to
do?
AK
That's
really
kind
of
a
hard
question
to
answer
as
we're
still
in
early
conversation
stages,
but
at
the
least
we
will
leverage
our
substantial
communication
vehicles
with
our
restaurants,
which
include
forums,
include
letters,
block
walks.
The
downtown
business
association
has
blocked
captains
and
so
on.
So
we
have
a
number
of
ways
to
really
have
meaningful
conversations
and
work
towards
those
goals.
AK
We
also
are
committed
towards
sustainability
in
a
broader
sense,
whether
that
be
you
know,
making
sure
that
there
are
no
plastic
forks
and
things
like
that
in
use.
That's
a
longer
term
project
as
well.
We
do
have
to
be
cognizant
that
a
lot
of
our
businesses
are
still
struggling
and
so
asking
for
any
change
with
just
a
flip
of
a
light.
AG
AG
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
I
was
part
of
the
environmental
sustainability
task
force,
the
second
one
that
gathered
information
in
2017
and
we
actually
found
that
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
from
the
non-plant-based
non-plant
based
diet
was
the
third
cause
actually
to
greenhouse
gas
emissions
right
after
auto
and
fossil
fuel
used
for
heating
systems,
and
so
I
think
it's
it's
really
about
time
that
was
approved.
Actually,
I
think
in
2018.
AG
AL
At
santa
clara
university-
and
I
just
wanted
to
come
on
here
and
vocalize-
my
support
for
more
plant-based
options
as
someone
who
understands
the
health
impacts
of
eating
a
plant-based
diet
as
well
as
the
environmental
impacts,
the
factory
farm
industry,
as
it
currently
exists,
enables
ableism
racism.
Sexism,
a
lot
of
destructive
isms
that
go
on
in
our
society,
are
fueled
in
part
in
in
large
part
by
the
factory
farm
industry
and
giving
more
plant-based
alternatives
for
people
here
in
the
bay
area,
I
think,
is
really
important.
AL
I
think
that
there
should
be
a
specific
emphasis
on
getting
these
options
to
communities
that
are
lower
income,
specifically
because
these
are
the
communities
that,
in
my
opinion,
need
access
to
these
resources
plant-based
foods
the
most
as
it
is
their
health
and
well-being.
That
is
the
responsibility
of
this
council
and
yeah.
I
I
think
this
is.
AL
AM
Hi
there
my
name
is
kayla
hardy,
I'm
a
mountain
view
resident.
I
just
wanted
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
agenda
item
I
eat
plant-based.
I
eat
a
plant-based
diet
and
there
are
often
not
that
many
options,
so
I
appreciate
it
from
a
climate
change
perspective,
but
also
for
just
being
inclusive
for
everyone's
diet,
and
I
was
also
wondering
if
we
wanted
to.
AM
Collaborate
with
the
city
or
give
feedback.
What
would
the
best
way
would
be
to
do
that?
I
saw
that.
There's
the
sustainability
mountain
view,
sustainability,
community
volunteer
group,
I'm
wondering
if,
like
that's
the
best
to
get
involved,
if
the
city
wants
feedback,
I'm
not
sure
what
the
best
way
is
to
give
feedback
for
this
other
than
right
now.
So,
if
you
have
any
suggestions
for
that,
that'd
be
great
and
thanks
again.
AN
A
C
It
would
take
a
lot
of
staffing
and
just
the
the
press
questions
alone,
I
think,
would
would
take
a
great
deal
of
staffing
and
I
would
like
to
see
an
outside
organization
carry
the
load
on
that
and
we've
had
a
a
couple.
Good
representatives
come
forward
tonight
from
plant-based
eating
associations
here
in
the
south
bay.
C
C
C
E
E
I
actually
have
found
that
I
spend
less
money
on
food
than
my
animal.
That
sounds
bad,
then
my
friends
who
eat
an
animal
diet,
and
so
actually
I
think
this
can
help
people
in
many
different
ways
and
be
great
for
the
environment.
So
I'll
move.
The
staff
recommendation,
which
includes
adopting
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
mountain
view,
supporting
a
plant-based
eating
program
to
be
read,
entitle
only
further
reading
waived.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
mayor,
I'm
happy
to
second
the
motion
and
if
I
can
just
add
a
few
comments,
thank
you
to
staff
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
I
do
support
the
overall
concepts
here,
but
I
do
appreciate
the
conversation
we've
had
and
and
just
some
of
the
questions.
So
I
think
this
is
a
you
know
good
way
to
start
off.
D
I
would
definitely
emphasize
the
education
component
what
I
noticed
and
this
kind
of
ties
into
some
of
what
was
already
discussed,
but
when
we
talk
about
city
services
and
and
offering
food
in
in
our
in
the
programs
we
have
and-
and
I
would
be
curious
to
hear
how
this
could
affect
our
senior
meal
program-
I
work.
I
work.
I
volunteer,
you
know
on
tuesdays
at
the
senior
center
with
csa's
meal
program
and
it's
interesting.
D
I've
been
there
two
years
now,
but
whenever
we
have
a
vegetarian
lunch
day,
our
numbers
drop
and
so
yeah,
it's
kind
of
a
joke
amongst
us,
volunteers
and
the
staff
that
when
that
happens,
but
I
just
you
know
wonder
if
we
just
need
to
do
more
education
to
encourage
folks,
you
know
to
eat,
plant-based
and
and
the
benefits
of
it.
I
will
say
I
heard
mohan's
presentation
at
leadership
mountain
view,
and
you
know
that
very
compelling.
I
came
home
and
said
all
right.
D
We
need
to
do
this,
and
so
I
think,
there's
definitely
a
lot
of
ambassadors
out
there
that
I
hope
we
can
work
with
and-
and
my
thought
too
is
going
forward.
You
know
I'm
happy
to
do
this
for
a
year,
but
because
there
are
community
based
organizations
that
seem
to
be
doing
this,
perhaps
would
it
be
better
for
us
to,
you
know,
include
cdb
in
our
cdbg
process
or
some
kind
of
ins
a
grant
program
or
grant
instead
for
a
community
based
organization
to
actually
conduct
the
efforts.
D
A
I
don't
think
education
will
go
far
enough
fast
enough,
I'm
one
of
those
folks
who
eats
a
lot
of
animal-based
products,
because
I
think
it's
tasty
right.
It's
really
hard
for
me
to
give
it
up
and
I
might
not
be
as
reluctant
if,
if
the
decision
is
made
for
me,
I
might
I
might
rebel
initially,
you
know
wow,
I
can't
use
you
know
taxpayer
money
to
feed
myself
with.
You
know
a
steak
or
something
that's
terrible,
but
over
time
I'll
get
used
to
it
right.
A
I
can
still
using
my
own
money,
purchase
an
animal-based
food
product,
so
I
would
like
to
explore
that
I
don't
want
to
do
it
against
you
know
or
impose
it
on
staff.
My
intent
is
not
to
reduce
employee
morale
or
anything,
but
I'd
love
to
have
that
conversation
and
see
what
options
might
be
most
palatable
over
time
and
and
start
eliminating
that
that
public
investment
and
something
that
we
know
is
causing
serious
damage
to
to
the
environment.
So
I'll
stop
there
I'll
support
the
motion
on
the
floor.
A
A
Thank
you
very
much.
We
will
now
move
to
item
five
oral
communications.

A
AO
Yes,
good
evening,
mayor
ramirez
city,
council
and
city
staff,
I'm
tom
myers,
executive
director
of
community
services
agency,
and
I'm
here
tonight
to
send
heartfelt
thanks
to
the
mountain
view
police
department
on
wednesday
morning
april
27th,
as
I
was
getting
ready
to
leave
for
work,
I
received
a
message,
unlike
any
I
had
ever
received.
It
was
a
message
that
anyone
would
dread.
It
was
from
the
chief
who
said
that
a
situation
had
developed
at
csa
and
someone
had
barricaded
themselves
in
our
building.
AO
At
the
time.
I
had
no
idea
whether
the
person
was
armed,
whether
there
was
a
csa
staff
member
in
the
building
as
well
or
how
the
situation
would
play
out.
When
I
arrived,
the
pd
had
the
situation
under
control.
Csa
staff
were
sent
to
another
location
and
staff
leadership
stayed
with
the
police
command
area.
I
was
very
proud
of
my
team
and
the
way
that
they
worked
with
the
police
department,
but
I
was
also
very
proud
of
mountain
view.
Police
department,
his
vehicle
after
vehicle
drove
up
to
the
scene,
familiar
faces,
would
emerge
each
time.
AO
I
was
so
grateful
that
all
these
officers
knew
csa
and
knew
us
and
knew
who
we
were
at
the
scene
after
several
hours.
The
situation
ended
not
by
force
or
speed,
but
with
patience
and
with
talking
and
because
they
were
patient.
There
was
very
little
damage
to
the
csa,
building
so
from
everyone
at
csa.
Thank
you
to
the
mountain
view,
police
department.
We
value
our
partnership
and
making
this
a
great
city.
Thank
you.

AQ
Good
evening,
mayor
ramirez
and
council
members,
I
just
want
to
get
something
off
my
chest:
it's
not
anything
really
weighty!
Just
next
slide,
please,
as
you
know,
the
mountain
view,
logo
was
redesigned
about
a
few
months
ago.
I
actually
like
the
old
logo.
I
thought
it's
very
unique,
the
size,
the
shape
the
colors
very
understated.
Now
we
have
next
slide,
please
this
logo,
which
is
starting
to
pop
up
here
and
there,
including
on
the
city's
nova
website,
and
it
reminded
me
not
so
much
as
when
I
grew
up.
AQ
You
know
I
was
a
grew
up
in
the
60s
70s
and
80s
next
slide.
Please
things
like
peter
max's,
artwork,
maybe
repeat
this
before
the
mayor's
time
next
slide.
Please
and
I've
also
seen
this
in
decal
form
on
trucks
around
town
and
stuff
like
that,
and
that
was
all
fine.
You
know
I
can
kind
of
live
with
this,
but
then
I
saw
this
next
slide.
Please.
AQ
You
know
I
just
happened
to
be
surfing
the
web,
but
I
saw
this
on
sunnyvale's
website.
This
is
for
the
sunnyvale
downtown
association.
It
looks
so
familiar
I
mean,
so
you
know
I'm
that's
just
my
opinion,
everybody's
entirely
their
opinion.
I
just
throw
that
out
and
make
people
aware
of
what
our
logo
looks
like.
Thank
you.
P
Thank
you
mayor.
So
mountain
view
is
doing
what's
needed
to
comply
with
ab361,
but
at
some
point
that's
going
to
end
and
california,
cities
will
have
to
be
sure
their
meeting
rooms
can
support
hybrid
meetings
currently
for
our
city,
that's
only
council
chambers.
I
want
to
ask
that
city
hall
conference
rooms
be
equipped
to
handle
hybrid
meetings
in
preparation
for
when
in-person
meetings
commence
again.
My
understanding
is
that
there
will
be
supply
that
there
are
supply
chain
delays
in
play.
That
could
be
preventing
this
from
happening
right
away.
P
But
I'd
like
to
see
the
city
plan
for
these
upgrades
is
the
earliest
opportunity,
in
any
case,
or
rather
in
any
case
yeah
and
before
in-person
advisory
body
meetings.
Begin
again.
This,
in
order
to
ensure
members
of
the
community,
can
continue
to
attend
and
comment
remotely
without
interruption.
Thanks.

So
the
remainder
of
my
presentation
is
going
to
be
focused
on
very
specific
project
revisions
that
have
been
made
in
order
to
address
the
council
direction
from
february.
8Th
meeting
based
on
the
direction
received
applicant
has
revised
the
project
further
to
address
council
comments.
Specific
changes
include
reduced
parking
in
block
a
parking
garage,
reconfigured
parking
layout
in
block
c,
without
changing
the
overall
footprint
revised
landscape
plans
to
preserve
seven
additional
existing
trees
on
site
voluntary
offers
to
existing
tenants
and
voluntary
measures
to
further
reduce
construction
dust
and
emissions.
AR
AR
These
include
health
concerns
related
to
elderly
children
and
people
with
respiratory
in
lenses
waving
leaves
waving
resident
lease
termination
fee,
conducting
an
audit
for
all
the
windows
in
the
existing
residential
buildings
and
making
repairs
as
needed,
also
offering
temporary
rent
reduction
during
construction
period
and
offering
rent
credit
to
purchase
air
filters.
Here.
Staff
would
like
to
note
that,
while
air
filters
would
reduce
air
quality
impacts,
this
cannot
be
considered
as
a
mitigation
measures
where
buildings
have
operable
windows.
AR
These
voluntary
offers
have
been
incorporated
as
a
project
condition
of
approval
a
little
bit
about
the
parking
proposal
revisions.
The
original
proposal
included
cities
models,
parking
standard,
compliant
parking
with
970
spaces
due
to
the
reduced
size
of
the
block,
a
parking
garage
to
save
additional
trees.
67
parking
spaces
have
been
removed
from
block
a
parking
garage.
AR
These
some
of
these
spaces
around
23
of
them,
have
been
reconfigured
under
block
c
parking
garage
without
changing
the
overall
size
of
the
of
the
structure.
With
these
revisions,
the
parking
reduction
amounts
to
a
net
loss
of
44
parking
spaces
with
a
total
of
926
parking
spaces
proposed.
With
this
revised
proposal,
a
parking
study
was
conducted
by
hexagon
transportation
consultants
who
evaluated
the
revised
parking
for
the
project
by
comparing
it
with
other
similar
projects
in
the
area.
The
study
found
an
average
parking
demand
ratio
of
one
space
per
unit.
AR
Following
the
february
8th
city
council
meeting,
the
city
has
received
additional
input
related
to
construction
dust
tree
removals
and
potential
design
revisions
for
the
proposed
project.
A
number
of
the
concerns
were
also
related
to
improvement,
work
that
was
going
on
all
for
the
existing
buildings.
AR
AR
They
have
also
incorporated
and
implemented
improved
noticing
procedures
for
earlier
noticing
off
for
to
the
tenants
on
site.
They
have
also
offered
alternate
arrangements,
including
use
of
vacant
unit
or
hotel
rooms
on
the
day
that
the
work
is
being
done
in
addition
to
that
city
and
the
applicant
also
received
alternate
design
input
from
sierra
club
to
save
trees
along
highway
85
and
between
highway
85
and
block
c
of
the
proposed
development.
AR
These
alternate
design
suggestions
included,
removing
of
24
units
from
block
c,
along
with
associated
80
parking
spaces
in
the
underground
parking
garage
based
on
an
initial
staff
assessment
staff
estimates
that
this
would
result
in
loss
of
36
units
and
around
100
parking
spaces
from
block
c
moving.
These
units
to
block
b
was
another
idea
in
the
proposal.
AR
Moving
parking
spaces
under
block
b
would
result
in
additional
excavation
work
that
would
require
additional
evaluation
and
assessment
from
an
environmental
impact
assessment
perspective.
The
revisions
to
the
site
design,
including
modification
of
unit
placement
density
allocation,
would
require
further
assessment
or
reassessment
of
certain
sections
of
the
eir.
AR
Staff
also
received
comments
about
preserving
additional
trees
between
block
c
and
highway.
85
applicant
has
looked
at
preservation
strategies
to
see
if
additional
trees
can
be
preserved
over
the
course
of
the
project
review
process
itself.
As
it
stands
right
now,
there
are
approximately
43
trees
in
this
area.
This
includes
majority
of
them
are
brazilian
peppers.
California,
preppers
of
aluco
pines
majority
of
these
trees
are
in
poor
condition
and
non-native
species.
AR
Only
two
of
the
existing
trees
in
this
area
are
in
fair
condition
and
will
be
preserved
on
site
additional
trees
along
highway.
85
would
be
remaining,
as
is
because
that
is
outside
the
project
boundary
and
they
are
not
proposed
to
be
removed,
which
adds
a
landscape
buffer
between
highway
85
and
the
block
c
buildings
as
proposed.
AR
The
applicant
is
already
required
to
comply
with
all
the
best
management
practices,
as
required
by
the
bay
area,
air
quality
management,
district
bachmed.
Regarding
the
dust
control
per
the
environmental
impact
report,
after
certification
of
the
eir
by
city
council
in
february,
bachmann
staff
recently
contacted
the
city
with
additional
measures
to
consider
further
reduction
of
the
potential
dust
and
particular
emission
impacts
generated
by
construction
staff
consulted
with
the
bachmann
staff
to
revise
these
measures
for
implementation
purposes,
and
the
applicant
has
voluntarily
agreed
to
them.
AR
These
have
been
included
as
conditions
of
approval
in
the
project
resolutions
attached
to
the
city
council
report.
Additionally,
some
public
concerns
were
also
related
to
increased
traffic
on
cypress
point
drive
related
to
parking
relocation
under
block
c,
and
some
concerns
about
spillover
parking
to
adjacent
residential
neighborhoods
because
of
reduced
parking
provided
by
the
project.
AR
An
addendum
to
the
final
eir
was
prepared
to
evaluate
the
revised
project
and
concluded
that
the
revisions
would
not
result
in
any
new,
significant
environmental
effects
or
substantially
more
severe
impacts
than
those
identified
in
the
555
west
middle
field.
Road
final
eir
report
a
project,
specific
transportation.
Technical
study
was
also
prepared
to
provide
an
update
to
the
multimodal
transportation
analysis
prepared
for
the
original
project.
AR
Additionally,
while
the
new
conditions
that
have
been
added
to
the
pro
to
the
project
resolution,
they
will
further
reduce
the
potential
for
dust
and
particulate
emissions
impact
that
could
be
generated
by
construction
activities.
They
do
not
undermine
any
of
the
eir's
conclusions
and
they
do
not,
and
the
eir
is
adequate
as
certified.
AR
AR
AR
A
Thank
you
very
much
diana
and
for
whatever
it's
worth,
I
think,
you're
a
real
mvp.
This
is
a
big
project
and
I
think
you've
done
a
remarkable
job
carrying
it
and
working
with
applicant
council
and
the
community
to
make
it
as
best
as
it
can
possibly
be.
We
will
now
hear
a
presentation
from
avalon
bay
by
joe
kirchoffer
vice
president
of
development.
AS
Can
everyone
everyone
see
that
yeah
all
right?
Thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
joe
kirchoffer,
I'm
with
avalonbay
communities,
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
this
evening.
I'm
here
today
asking
for
your
approval
of
this
project
so
that
we
can
keep
moving
forward
to
provide
this
housing
for
the
community
mountain
view.
AS
AS
AS
AS
111
of
our
homes
will
be
maps
for
conversion
to
condos
and
I'll
remind
you
that
48,
affordable
units
is
the
size
of
a
good
sized
100
100,
affordable
housing
development
in
mountain
view.
So
this
is
a
meaningful
increase
in
the
city's
affordable
housing
stock
and
it
does
not
require
any
public
subsidy.
AS
AS
AS
Now
we've
gone
to
great
lengths
throughout
the
process
to
ensure
that
the
property
is
both
safe
and
comfortable
at
each
stage
of
the
construction
process.
To
that
end,
we've
added
some
new
conditions
to
the
project's
conditions
of
approval
to
memorialize
some
of
the
items
that
came
up
with
february
hearing
such
as,
and
diana
mentioned,
an
audit
of
all
the
on-site
windows
to
ensure
they're
in
good
working
condition,
rent
credits
for
residents
to
buy
air
filters
and
an
offer
to
relocate
sensitive
households
to
another
avalonbay
property
in
the
area.
AS
As
you
heard,
staff
has
also
reached
out
to
backmed
the
bay
area,
air
quality
management
district,
to
obtain
further
suggestions
on
how
the
project
can
go
above
and
beyond
their
required
best
practices
for
dust
mitigation.
These
suggestions
have
been
added
as
new
project
conditions,
number
74
and
75.
AS
There
have
been
many
claims
made
about
what
this
impact
means
for
the
health
of
residents
and
neighbors,
and
I
encourage
you
to
listen
to
the
experts
and
base
your
conclusions
on
their
factual
input.
Our
project
is
not
unique
among
bay
area
housing
developments.
The
impact
identified
in
our
er
is
common.
The
impact
is
due
to
airborne
dust.
It's
not
due
to
any
toxic
chemical
or
substance,
and
the
impact
is
triggered
because
new
back
med
regulations
are
much
more
stringent
than
either
state
or
federal
standards.
AS
Most
jurisdictions.
Where
this
happens,
they
regularly
explain
it's
impossible
for
most
projects
to
meet
the
new
blackmed
standard.
Mitigations
are
used
to
keep
the
impact
as
minimal
as
possible,
and
in
our
case,
all
levels
are
well
below
all
applicable
state
and
federal
guidelines.
But
again
don't
take
my
word
for
it.
Please
reach
out
plea.
Please
ask
your
your
air
quality
experts
to
to
opine
now.
AS
We've
also
spoken
extensively
at
prior
hearings
about
all
the
ways
this
project
has
been
designed
to
preserve
the
most
important
and
most
valuable
trees
on
the
site,
based
on
the
council
direction.
In
february,
we've
proposed
another
change
to
the
project.
To
help
make
it
even
better
in
this
regard,
as
staff
explained,
if
the
council
is
willing
to
reduce
parking
at
the
project
by
44
spaces,
we
can
save
the
three
large
redwood
trees
that
were
the
subject
of
the
last
meetings
debate,
including
tree
179.
AS
We've
done
that
throughout
the
life
of
this
project
and
repeatedly
over
the
past
seven
years
as
we've
rearranged
parking
on
the
site,
we've
reduced
the
massing
of
buildings
along
cypress
point
drive,
shaped
buildings
around
redwood
trees
and
we've
added
many
other
features
to
make
sure
the
project
is,
is
responsive
to
community
input.
So
we
went
back
to
our
design
team
with
this
new
proposal
and
studied
whether
the
sierra
club
proposal
could
be
implemented.
AS
AS
Unfortunately,
the
proposal
to
save
the
berm
area
increases
the
size
of
building
b
on
moffett
boulevard,
significantly
increases
it
to
six
stories.
It
adds
many
more
cars
to
the
basement
parking
lot,
and
this
is
this
is
inconsistent
with
seven
years
of
feedback
we've
received
from
the
city
and
the
community
about
this
building.
AS
AS
AS
E
F
Thank
you.
I
have
several
questions
that
members
of
the
public
have
asked
via
email
over
the
past
week
that
I
wanted
to
ask
the
applicant.
The
first
is
residents
have
asked
me.
They
say
they
think
they're
they
imagine.
There
may
be
asbestos
in
the
buildings
to
be
demolished
and
they're
wondering
how
they,
what
plans
you
might
have
to
protect
them
from
that
asbestos
during
demolition.
AS
AS
F
F
AS
So
we
you
know
this
project's,
like
I
just
said
it
was
proposed
a
long
time
ago.
It
it's
been
reduced.
We've
we've
reduced
the
number
of
units.
It's
been
made
more
costly
in
a
number
of
ways,
so
we
we
need
to
keep
an
eye
on
feasibility
and
any
additional
added
cost
is
something
that
that
may
make
this
project
actually
infeasible
to
build.
And
you
see
that
around
the
bay
area
there
are
approved
projects
that
can't
actually
move
forward.
AS
That
said,
I'm
sure
we
can
manage
something
like
curtains
and
if
there's
you
know,
if,
if
there
is
something
that
the
council
feels
is
absolutely
critical
to
the
project,
you
know
we
can,
we
can
try
to
do
that.
But
again
I
I
need
to
be
honest
and
and
be
wary
that
any
additional
cost
or-
or
you
know,
fee
imposition
on
the
project
pushes
it
toward
the
the
point
where
we're
not
able
to
actually
carry
it
out
and
and
build
the
housing.
F
AS
We
preserved
that
area
of
the
berm
and
that's
going
to
be
the
sort
of
a
small
central
dog
park
area,
but
the
fence
is
going
to
be
wider
than
that,
so
that
big
sort
of
wild
area
in
the
berm
is
going
to
be
part
of
the
dog
run
as
well.
So
most
of
the
darder
one
will
be
mulch
and
sort
of
natural
material,
but
so
we
found
in
you
know
the
dog
parks
we
we
own
and
manage
in
other
properties.
Grass
doesn't
really
hold
up.
Just
to
the
you
know.
AS
I
won't.
I
won't
make
this
graphic,
but
you
know
the
amount
of
beating
that
they
take
from
dogs,
grass
kind
of
turns
into
brown,
grass
or
mud
pretty
quickly
turf
holds
up
well,
there
are
some
other
natural
materials,
decomposed
granite,
some
other
things
that
can
work.
You
know
some
finer
mulch.
So
if
there's
a
preference
to
avoid
artificial
turf,
we
are
happy
to
to
you
use
a
different
material.
F
C
Thank
you
mayor.
I
I
have
a
question
for
staff
somewhere
in
the
staff
report
or
something
that
I've
gotten
in
communication,
so
that
there's
a
number
that
community
members
can
call
at
back
med,
and
I
know
that
at
our
last
go-round
with
the
applicant,
the
applicant
agreed
to
post
a
24
7
contact
number
for
the
construction
manager.
AR
You
can
actually
divide
these
measures
into
two
parts.
One
is
requiring
a
site-specific
dust
control
plan
with
the
building
permit
requirements,
and
this
would
include
things
like
you
know,
designate
and
on
on-site
construction
team
monitor
to
implement
the
dust
control
plan,
water,
all
the
exposed
surfaces
at
a
minimum
frequency
of
two
times
per
day,
and
maybe
more
frequently
whenever
there
are
dust
or
wind
conditions
that
warrant
it
install
wind
breaks
such
as
fences,
dust,
curtains,
plastic
traps,
etc.
AR
AR
You
know
if
the
air
quality
index
forecasts
exceeds
100
for
a
particulates
of
the
project
area
and
the
reading
exceeds
100,
then
by
say,
10
a.m.
The
pr
the
applicant
will
be
required
to
prohibit
the
grading
activities
for
that
day,
minimize
the
excavated
material
and
waste
materials
which
will
be
stored
at
the
site
and
cover
them
with
trap.
You
know
tarpaulin
in
order
to
control
the
you
know
spreading
of
the
dust
from
from
those
materials.
AR
In
addition
to
that,
something,
like
you
know,
plant
vegetative
ground
cover.
Whenever
there
are
some
disturbed
areas
which
are
being
say,
excavated
and
disturbed,
you
know
they
will
applicant
will
be
required
to
plant
vegetative
ground
cover
so
that
you
know
and
water
them
appropriately
until
the
vegetation
is
established
on
them.
In
order
to
reduce
the
amount
of
dust
that
can,
you
know,
come
out
of
it
and
can
can
would
be
spreading
around
another
thing,
is
you
know
when
they
are
doing
activities
such
as
excavation
or
grading
activities?
AR
AR
G
Really,
what
you're
discussing
is
a
very
comprehensive
plan
to
take
care
of
this.
The
best
way
we
know
how
to
do
it
right
and
there's
two
major
aspects
that
I
want
to
bring
to
everybody's
attention.
One
is
there's
going
to
be
somebody
on
the
site
every
day.
There's
construction
activity
going
on
whose
job
it
is
to
say,
are
we
doing
the
dust
control
right?
It's
not
going
to
be
somebody
who
comes
once
a
week
or
somebody
who
comes
once
a
month.
It's
somebody
who's
there,
all
the
time
right.
G
That's
my
understanding
that
you
know
that
I
just
want
to
share
with
anybody
who's
listening
it
that's
a
really
big
deal,
because
when
you
give
somebody
a
job
like
that
and
say
this
is
your
job,
you
have
to
do
it
and
if
there's
any
problem,
you
go
to
that
person
to
get
it
fixed.
It's
just
much
more
likely
to
happen
and
then
miss
pancholi
mentioned
a
just.
G
A
laundry
list
of
very
you
know
understandable
things
that
we
all
know
make
a
difference
about
dust
washing
down
the
area
planting
covers
on
places
that
you
know
are
not
going
to
be
disrupted
for
a
while
putting
in
dust
baths.
You
know
that
sort
of
thing
it
just
makes
a
big
difference,
so
I
I
wanted.
I
wanted
to
talk
to
you
a
little
more
about
that,
because
I
really
think
this
is
a
legitimate
concern
of
people.
G
This
dust,
we
are
at
kind
of
the
you
know
we're
at
the
the
the
trigger
level
in
this
area,
and
so
it's
very
important
for
us
to
be
wary
and
careful,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
you
know
reiterate
that
we
do
have
a
really
comprehensive
plan
for
taking
care
of
this,
and
not
only
do
we
have
a
plan,
we
have
somebody
whose
job
it
is
on-site
every
day
to
carry
out
that
plan.
I
think
that's
very
important
so
that
that's.
C
Thank
you
mayor,
I'm
sorry
to
double
dip,
but
this
is
a
very
complex
and
multi-part
proposal.
That's
before
us,
and-
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
with
the
applicant
that
my
understanding
is
correct,
and
so
individuals
that
are
facing
a
health
condition
would
be
able
to
state
that
to
the
the
office
there
and
would
be
able
to
break
break
their
lease
and,
and
so
we
have
a
very
diverse
population
mountain
view,
a
lot
of
culturally
competent
providers,
and
so
we're
not
just
talking
about
an
md.
C
AS
Right
correct
so
so
let
me
take
one
step
back.
Any
resident
who
has
an
existing
lease
from
before
construction
starts
will
be
able
to
break
that
lease
without
any
penalty.
That's
that's!
Not
that's
not
limited.
If
folks
want
to
keep
their
lease
stay
in
an
avalonbay
apartment,
we
will
move
them
to
a
different
avalonbay
property
in
the
area
if
they
fall
into
one
of
those
criteria
and
yes,
our
staff
is
not
qualified.
Nor
are
we
interested
in
trying
to
manage.
You
know
trying
to
understand
people's
health
information.
AS
AU
D
AS
AS
I
want
to
be
here-
and
I
you
know
I
want
to
be
writing
conditions
and
making
promises
to
this
council
that
I
know
we
can
keep,
and
so,
if
the
number
of
folks
on
the
property
becomes
too
large,
it
may
be
something
where
we
can't
actually
live
up
to
it.
So
you
know
I
I
I
think
if
we
you
know,
this
is
seems
tough
to
do
with
the
dias.
D
And
something
that
I
just
thought
about
and
going
back
to
the
air
quality
issue
since
the
pm
2.5
comes
from
construction.
I
was
thinking
if
some
a
tenant
decides
to
leave
during
the
construction
period,
and
maybe
this
is
more
for
staff.
But
could
we
require
that
that
unit
stay
vacant
until
construction
is
completed
to
minimize
the
air
quality
effects.
U
D
A
A
I
fully
understand
when,
when,
when
I
asked
about
this
before
there
were
a
number
of
city
regulations
that,
even
with
the
the
reduction
in
unit
count
proposed
by
in
that
alternative,
that
would
still
necessitate
the
removal
of
the
trees
and
the
burn.
One
of
them
is
the
fire
access,
for
instance,
can
either
staff
or
the
applicant
run
through
some
of
the
other
regulations
that
the
applicant
would
be
required
to
comply
with
that,
even
with
that
unit,
count
reduction
still
would
require
tree
removals
in
that
area.
AS
Sure
so
ramirez,
I
think
the
the
most
difficult
one
is
fire
access.
There
is
a
requirement
for
fire
truck
access,
which
you
can
I
mean
it's
pretty
clear
on
the
site
plan,
there's
a
there's,
a
fire
truck
lane
that
comes
out
there
into
the
berm
in
the
proposed
design.
There's
also
access
to
each
window
that
the
fire
department
is
going
to
need,
at
a
certain
a
certain
dimension,
a
certain
distance
from
the
building
to
place
a
ladder
in
case
of
emergencies.
AS
So
that
is
difficult.
There
are
emergency
egress
requirements
from
folks
coming
out
of
the
building
in
an
emergency.
There
are
utilities
connecting
in
the
berm
area
as
well.
That
need
a
place
to
go.
There's
a
there's,
an
electric
transformer
over
there.
So
there
are
a
number
of
issues
with
just
sort
of
space
and
then
there's
also
just
that
the
practical
issue
of
drainage-
and
you
know
if
it,
if
you
have
a
berm
falling
back
into
a
building,
you
need
that
water
to
go
somewhere.
AS
So
all
of
those
things
become
more
difficult.
I
think
our
design
proposes
some
storm
water
treatment
in
that
area.
That
would
have
to
go
somewhere
else,
so
it's
you
know,
like
I
mentioned
before:
it's
it's
really
a
full
redesign
to
get
to
to
get
to
a
place
where
you
could
scale
back
a
building
enough
to
meet
all
those
requirements
and
then
some
of
them
you
know,
like
I
said,
the
fire
department.
Doesn't
they
have
already
compromised
on
this
project?
AS
A
AS
No,
this
is
a
great
question
and
that's
that's
right.
This
is,
I
mean
we're
trying
to
be
responsive
and
trying
to
you
know
trying
to
try
to
find
the
right
balance
between
you
know.
Obviously,
there's
been
a
big
outpouring
to
save
those
trees.
We
love
the
opportunity
to
save
those
trees
and
it's
been
opened
up
by
the
opportunity
to
reduce
the
amount
of
spaces.
AS
So
that's
great,
you
know.
I
know
there
are
folks
alongside
this
point
that
are
concerned
about
the
number
of
cars
being
able
to
be
parked
on
the
property.
So
you
know
I
understand
that
it's
a
balancing
act
and
you
know
I'd
look
to
council
if,
if
you'd
prefer
to
have
fewer
spaces
there,
we
can
certainly
manage
that.
You
know
we,
you
know
somewhere
in
the
1.2.
AS
1.25
range
is
probably
you
know
if
we
could
wave
a
magic
wand,
that's
probably
what
we
think
the
right
number
of
spaces
is.
We
could
go
below
that.
You
know
we'd
manage
it
a
little
bit
differently.
You
know
you
know.
Obviously,
our
proposal
last
time
in
february
was
to
be
above
that
so
we're
comfortable
either
way
and
it's
you
know
I
I
would
say
it's
up
to
you
all
what
you
think
the
right.
The
right
number
is.
AB
A
A
Sorry,
it's
okay!
I
either
way
I
I
think
the
the
question
was
oriented
around
what
transportation
analysis
is
done
outside
of
sequa
and
improvements
to
the
roadway
that
could
be
incorporated
with
the
redevelopment.
So,
for
instance,
you
know
using
visibility
hazards
as
a
as
an
example.
The
adult
school
driveway,
I
think,
was
one
of
if
memory
serves,
and
maybe
members
of
the
public
can
remind
me
during
public
comment.
A
But
you
know
if
you're,
if
you're
coming
out
of
there,
if
you're
driving
out
of
that
area
onto
the
roadway-
and
you
have
vehicles
parked
very
close
to
the
driveway,
it
could
be
hard
to
see
if
there's
oncoming
traffic.
So
that's,
I
think,
a
pretty
simple
example
of
as
part
of
the
local
transportation
analysis.
That's
done
outside
of
sql.
Again,
you
can
say
well,
if
we're
anticipating
some
additional
traffic,
then
it
might
make
sense
to
paint
the
curve
red
here
to
improve
visibility.
A
AB
F
AR
F
F
AB
Thank
you
vice
mayor
hicks.
For
that
question.
The
city
has
a
neighborhood
traffic
management
program
whereby,
if
residents
are
concerned
about
either
speeds
or
cut
through
traffic
or
other
issues
where
they
think
traffic
calming
is
required,
they
can
follow
that
process.
To
request
that
this
be
studied.
Now,
the
typical
process
would
usually
involve
a
petition
coming
in
from
residents.
AB
AB
AB
AB
AV
A
A
AW
It
was
noted
in
the
council
report
that
the
city
does
not
have
the
ability
to
impose
labor
standards.
I
ask
you,
then,
to
delay
this
vote
and
give
the
opportunity
to
the
city
of
mountain
view
to
explore
avenues
to
be
able
to
have
these
labor
standards,
not
only
in
this
development,
but
in
all
coming
developments
to
ensure
that
all
workers
working
in
the
city
of
mountain
view,
are
making
livable
wage
and
make
a
chance
to
live
and
work
in
this
in
the
city
that
works
without
having
to
commute
in
hours.

Our
hoa
board
has
repeatedly
expressed
its
concern
about
increased
traffic
and
density
posed
by
block
c
tonight.
I
urge
you
not
to
make
an
already
bad
project
worse
by
adopting
developers
recent
project
revisions.
The
revisions
would
allow
developer
to
remove
66
parking
spaces
from
block
a
and
shift
those
spaces
to

Further
taxing
the

AX

AN
Good
evening,
council,
thank
you
so
much
for
hearing
our
comments
on
this.
I
am
completely
against
this
project
as
it
stands
and
there's
so
many
detrimental
enviro
environmental
impacts
still
as
a
part
of
this,
and
I
hope
you
will
vote
no
on
the
project
tonight.
There's
just
too
much
too
many
issues
number
one:
the
trees,
there's
still
51
heritage
trees
slated
to
be
destroyed
in
this
project,
seven
of
which
are
huge,
redwoods
and
blockade
that
are
still
slated
to
be
destroyed
for
pool
showers
and
parking
garage
stairs
not
for
housing.
AN
Also
highway
85,
mature
protective
tree
buffers
is
slated
to
be
destroyed.
This
is
these.
Are
our
climate
warriors
and
our
sound
buffers
for
our
entire
community?
Also
avalon
proposes
dangerous
air
pm
2.5
for
seven
years
from
seven
a.m,
to
7
p.m,
daily,
where
we
can't
open
our
windows,
but
yet
this
34
billion
dollar
company
doesn't
want
to
pay
for
curtin
air
filters.
AN
It's
just
ridiculous.
Also.
The
er
eir
states
that
there
will
be
no
asbestos
on
the
testing
on
the
buildings
being
demolished.
Please
do
your
research
and
not
listen
to
joe
also
avalon,
proposes
dangerous
safety
issues
with
traffic
and
biking
on
cypress
point
drive
it's
already
dangerous,
with
no
bike
lanes
as
it
is
as
one
well,
I
see
I'm
running
out
of
time.
Thank
you
so
much
for
voting
no
tonight.
AM
Okay,
hi
I'm
kayla
hardy.
I
live
at
555,
west
middle
field,
road,
I'm
supportive
of
building
or
housing
in
mountain
view,
and
I
appreciate
everyone
for
altering
their
plan
to
save
five
additional
redwood
trees.
However,
there
are
still
significant
issues
with
this
design.
One
of
my
major
concerns
is
the
highway
85
tree
buffer
being
cut
down.
It
was
not
accurately
portrayed
tonight
in
the
presentation
shown
it
is
not
a
couple
of
leafless
trees.
AM
AM
AY
Yes,
we
can
okay
good
evening.
My
name
is
kenneth,
joe
from
the
carpenters
union,
local
9144.
I
live
in
santa
clara
county.
I
would
like
the
board
to
approve
avalon's
plan
for
greater
density,
because
it
makes
the
property
more
accessible
and
benefits
the
people
that
want
to
live
and
work
in
mountain
view.
However,
before
granting
this
approval,
there
needs
to
be
a
requirement
for
avalon
by
requiring
avalon's
contractors
to
provide
labor
standard
on
this
project.
AY
Avalon
should
not
be
permitted
to
save
costs
by
cutting
corners
on
labor
needed
to
properly
build
these
new
residents
requiring
union
workers
will
ensure
avalon
contractors
pay
fair
wages,
use
experienced
and
well-trained
workers.
This
leads
to
higher
quality
workmanship
meeting,
building
standards
and
completing
the
project
quickly.
For
all
these
reasons,
the
carpenters
union
urges
the
city
of
mountain
view
adopt
these
labor
standards
as
a
requirement
for
avalon
bay
middle
field
project.
Thank
you
thank.
J
Aye
council,
when
this
project
was
first
proposed,
our
president
was
barack
obama
and
we
all
thought
hillary
clinton
would
be
our
next
president.
It
was
a
simpler
time.
Personally,
I
was
in
high
school,
most
of
my
friends.
Hadn't
been
priced
out
of
our
community,
yet,
but
seven
years
have
passed
and
the
housing
crisis
got
worse
and
I've
had
to
say
goodbye
to
friend
after
friend.
So
who
did
this
seven
year
delay
serve?
J
It
didn't
serve
our
friends
and
family
members
who
got
priced
out
and
it
didn't
serve
anyone
who
was
forced
into
overcrowded
housing
or
evicted.
When
you
set
up
hurdle
after
hurdle
for
new
housing,
you
are
making
new
housing
more
expensive.
When
you
make
exaction
after
exaction
of
a
project,
you
are
making
housing
more
expensive.
J
This
is
all
this
micro
management.
I
understand,
is
well
intentioned,
but
it
is
hurting
the
community
and
I
genuinely
think
it's
embarrassing.
I
mean
the
city
has
no
idea
what
it
even
wants.
If
it
did,
it
would
have
articulated
that
clearly
to
the
applicant
half
a
decade
ago,
and
this
project
would
already
be
built,
but
because
the
city
doesn't
know
what
it
wants.
We've
been
giving
them
moving
goal
posts
for
the
last
seven
years.
I
mean
I'm
surprised.
We
asked
for
them
to
trade
parking
for
trees.
J
AT
Hi
city
council
members,
thanks
for
this
opportunity
to
speak,
I'm
a
san
francisco
resident,
who
has
visited
my
friends
and
family
in
the
mountain
view
area
over
many
years,
and
I
I
really
appreciate
the
this
proposal
of
creating
more
affordable
housing.
It's
definitely
something
needed
all
around
the
bay
area.
AT
However,
I
am
concerned
about
the
proposed
development
of
removing
particularly
the
heritage,
trees
and,
and
particularly
the
the
I
think,
the
southern
redwood
heritage
trees,
people
have
rightly
so
addressed
environmental
concerns
and
and
physical
health
concerns
I
want
to
in
this
very
short
time
bring
attention
to
mental
health.
Mental
health
is
a
growing
concern
nationwide,
including
in
this
area.
AT
AZ
AZ
These
concerns
include
the
loss
of
the
tree
buffer
on
highway
85,
due
to
the
placement
of
new
units
right
next
to
the
highway,
resulting
in
an
increase
in
toxic
airborne,
highway
pollutants
and
noise
for
everyone
in
the
community.
The
two
pictures,
including
slides
of
trees
in
the
tree
buffer
area
without
leaves,
is
very
misleading.
AZ
AZ
Please
consider
the
proposal,
while
I
am
in
support
of
building
new
housing
in
mountain
view,
I
think
avalon
can
design
a
well
can
design
a
more
well
thought
out
housing
project
that
doesn't
significantly
degrade
the
environment
and
the
health
and
safety
of
everyone
living
in
that
area
to
address
these
concerns
would
benefit
everyone
in
the
community
and
the
environment.
We
live
in.
BA
BA
I
believe
significant
issues
remain
in
avalon's
redesign,
including
the
loss
of
heritage,
redwoods
number
two:
two
through
204:
the
loss
of
highway,
85
tree
buffer
traffic
hazards
and
density
on
a
dead-end
street
and
seven
years
of
unhealthy
air
above
the
pm,
2.5
threshold,
pat
lucas
and
sally.
You
know
if
mountain
view's
air
is
poor
at
baseline.
It's
really
not
okay,
to
say
oh
well,
we'll
just
have
to
make
the
air
worse.
A
I
I
This
project,
as
selena
noted,
has
been
in
the
pipeline
for
a
long
time
and
said:
councilmember
lieber's
commented
earlier.
Housing
is
extremely
urgent
in
our
area
and
as
a
new
project,
lots
of
affordable
housing
near
transit.
I
look
forward
to
seeing
this
project
completed
and
seen
new
people
move
into
our
neighborhood
as
soon
as
possible,
and
I
think
it's
I
do
think
it's
outstanding
that
we've
been
able
to
trade
parking
for
trees,
but
I
wish
it
could
have
happened
from
this
outset.
I
I
This
project,
for
as
part
of
conditions
of
approval
item
55,
will
include
transit,
passes
for
some
new
residents
and
that
sort
of
thing
will
be
outstanding
for
helping
people
to
be
able
to
get
around
without
a
car
if
they
don't
want
to,
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
more
of
that
going
forward.
Thank
you.

The
project
is
creating
over
300
homes,
including
nearly
50
new
deed,
restricted,
affordable
homes,
and
if
the
city
is
going
to
meet
its
long-term
climate
goals,
we
need
this
type
of
dense
info
housing,
that's
accessible
to
downtown
and
helps
us
get
cars
off
the
road.
You
know
someone
who
used
to
live
within
walking
and
biking
distance,
the
caltrain
station
at
downtown
that
proximity.
BB
P
P
We've
tracked
the
project
for
a
very
long
time,
and
we
know
the
developers
made
impressive
concessions
to
date,
for
example,
those
related
to
trees,
protection,
air
quality
impacts
mitigation,
reduced
parking
and
not
requiring
curtain
residents
to
relocate.
So
we
strongly
urge
approval
tonight.
Above
all,
we
need
the
additional
housing
this
project
will
provide.
P
BC
BC
I
was
intrigued
earlier
by
the
conversation
about
climate
change
and
the
city's
commitment
to
addressing
that
challenge.
As
we
know,
as
a
region
as
a
state,
41
percent
of
our
greenhouse
gases
come
from
people
traveling
long
distances
from
their
homes
to
their
jobs.
If
you
take
a
trip
out
to
the
central
valley
to
the
city
of
lathrop
that
the
largest
single-family
home
development
in
california,
twelve
thousand
single-family
homes,
there's
a
billboard
on
the
freeway
that
says
a
short
commute
to
silicon
valley.

AF
Hi,
so
I'm
gonna
speak
first
as
representative
of
green
spaces,
mountain
view
and
then
as
myself.
So
as
a
representative
green
spaces
mountain
view,
we
would
like
to
give
our
support
in
approving
the
project.
We
don't
feel
it's
a
perfect
project,
but
most
of
our
issues
have
to
do
with
city
policies
with
the
project
is
aligned
with,
we
would
prefer
higher
park
space
ratios
and
more
heritage
tree
evaluation.
AF
But
again
this
is
a
city
policies
issue
that
needs
to
be
fixed
at
the
city
level
and,
overall,
this
project
is
a
more
modern,
more
green,
more
biodiverse
project
than
many
we've
seen
coming
through.
So
we
don't
still
support
it
as
it
will
reduce
vehicle
miles
traveled,
and
so
we
think
overall,
it's
a
benefit
to
our
green
spaces.
In
mountain
view.
As
a
private
citizen,
a
personal
representative
of
myself,
I've
lived
here
for
15
years
and
I,
similarly
to
one
of
the
other
speakers,
have
seen
many
friends
leave.
I
joke
that.
AF
AU
N
N
So
I
was
alarmed
by
the
last
meeting
where
a
council
member
said
that
maybe
it
would
be
better
to
just
demolish
the
rent-controlled
housing
and
give
tenants
a
buyout,
and
I
re
really
hope
the
council
members
see
the
connection
between
the
demolition
of
rent-controlled
housing
and
the
increase
in
homelessness.
The
increase
in
vehicle
dwelling
that
we've
seen
the
most
impactful
intervention
that
you
can
do
for
homelessness
is
preventing
it
from
happening
in
the
first
place,
so
keeping
people
in
their
homes.
N
BD
Hi,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
yeah,
so
my
name
is
chang
knew
that
I
lived
in
the
director
of
the
opposite
street
of
the
cyprus
point
drive.
So
I
against
that
of
this
project,
because
the
cyprus
point
drive
is
not
the
highway.
It's
the
narrow
stream,
the
space
pool
35
new
unit
is
even
smaller
than
the
space
for
existing
400
unit,
especially
applicants
locate
try
to
locate
the
mall
unit
at
the
end
of
the
state.
BD
BD
X
BE
BE
I'm
not
opposed
to
the
idea
of
building
more
affordable
housing,
though,
but
let
me
qualify
what
I
mean
by
that
as
a
single
father
who
raised
four
children
in
the
area
trapped
under
the
unyielding
weight
of
high
rents
and
avalon
and
prometheus
properties,
while
trying
to
keep
my
kids
in
good
schools
and
still
have
a
reasonable
commuting
to
my
work,
it
bothers
me
to
think
that
my
children
can't
afford
to
buy
a
home.
Here
is
mountain
view
supposed
to
be
a
community
where
only
wealthy
tech
workers
can
own
a
home.
BE
It
was
all
I
was
only
able
to
buy.
My
condo
at
cypress
point
drive
my
first
home
two
years
ago,
seven
years
after
my
last
child
graduated
from
high
school,
I
would
like
to
see
real
solutions
for
helping
people
not
earning
high-tech
salaries,
also
have
an
opportunity
to
put
down
roots
and
enjoy
the
pride
of
home
ownership
in
their
community.
BE
Finally,
with
respect
to
saving
redwoods,
while
I
do
think
we
need
to
consider
ways
to
increase
density,
I
also
implore
the
council
to
consider
that
this
is
one
of
the
last
truly
unique
beautiful
groves
of
this
size
of
redwood
trees
in
silicon
valley,
interspersed
with
residential
housing,
just
go
to
google
maps
and
turn
on
satellite
view.
To
take
a
look
at
what
I
mean,
please
don't
allow
the
loss
of
any
of
these
gorgeous
trees
just
to
create
more
expensive
apartments
that
big
companies
own.
AK
Great.
Thank
you.
This
is
peter
katz,
ceo
of
the
mountain
view,
chamber
of
commerce,
new
housing
developments
are
critically
needed
to
support
mountain
view's
prosperity
and
growth,
especially
ones
that
are
responsible.
Intelligent
community
focused
it's
vital
that
large
projects
like
this
that
meet
all
requirements
are
provided
a
viable
pathway
to
conclusion,
with
costly
delays
and
changes
minimized
as
much
as
possible
to
go
backwards
and
continue
to
impose
new
guidelines
and
restrictions
will
eventually
make
the
project
unintendable.
AK
We
will
lose
the
very
type
of
project
we,
as
a
city
have
said
that
we
need
want
and
plan
for
one
that
meets
regulations
and
requirements.
Those
of
the
city,
the
county
and
independent
government
agencies,
one
that
does
not
displace
any
existing
residents,
is
transit
friendly
and
improves
areas
currently
used
just
for
parking.
The
requirements
and
the
process
for
meeting
them,
be
they
health,
related
environmental,
aesthetic,
transportation
oriented,
are
all
well
documented,
well
considered
and
have
been
well
followed
to
move
forward.
A
BF
For
for
us
on
on
right
across
the
street,
because
we
are
my
neighbors-
and
I
are
significantly
closer
to
this,
where
this
construction
will
be
than
even
many
of
the
current
avalon
residents
in
five
five
five
and
so
the
fact
and
all
our
windows
open
up
directly
onto
where
this
construction
will
be
happening
and
sort
of
the
and
highway
85
and
all
the
clearing
of
trees.
That's
happening
there.
BF
BG
These
many
hundreds
of
neighbors
share
our
conviction
that
the
555
west
middle
field
project
is
worthy
of
the
council
support.
There
are
a
few
fundamental
reasons
why
this
should
be
approved
without
delay.
First,
it
will
create
hundreds
of
new
homes
while
still
protecting
current
residents.
This
project
is
a
is
a
model
of
excellent
land
use,
as
it
transforms
two
underutilized
parking
lots
to
add,
323
new
homes
to
an
existing
multi-family
community
of
402
homes
and
all
without
displacing
a
single
resident.
Second,
it
will
add
critically
needed
below
market
rate
homes
by
the
city's
own
estimates.
BG
It
is
on
pace
to
destroy
127
of
its
rent
control
departments
every
year.
Fortunately,
the
project
will
designate
48
of
its
new
homes
to
affordable
units.
Finally,
environmental
concerns
that
have
been
raised
have
gone
through
extensive
review
process
by
experts
and,
unfortunately,
nimby's
are
using
these
concerns
to
hold
back
the
project.
I
urge
you
tonight
to
vote
in
support.
Thank
you.
BH
Good
evening,
mayor
council,
this
is
vince
rocha,
vice
president
of
housing
and
community
development,
with
the
silicon
valley,
leadership
group
representing
over
350
of
the
region's
largest
employers
and
higher
educational
institutions.
What
we
believe
is
that
we
need
more
housing
opportunity
for
everyone
here
in
the
bay
area,
and
this
project
does
exactly
that.
It's
complex
infill
development
that
does
have
its
challenges,
but
that
infill
development
is
what's
going
to
help
us
meet
our
climate
change
goals.
It's
going
to
help
us
meet
our
reduction
in
vehicle
miles,
traveled
and
also
the
project
has
affordable
housing.
BH
BI
Hi
my
name
is
april
webster,
I
have
been
a
resident
of
505
cypress
point
drive
for
over
a
decade.
I
strongly
urge
council
to
approve
this
project
and
expedite
development.
We
need
more
opportunities
like
this
sooner
than
later,
as
other
others
have
pointed
out,
it's
not
perfect,
but
it's
solid
and
it
will
help
us
meet
sustainability
and
active
transportation
goals.
BI
The
location
of
the
project
can
be
better
with
the
units
strategically
strategically
located
within
a
five-minute,
walk
or
bike
ride
of
downtown.
Adding
new
housing
at
this
location
can
start
to
address
the
dire
need.
We
have
for
more
workforce
housing
in
the
heart
of
our
community
as
it
currently
stands.
The
people
who
run
our
local
economy,
teachers,
firefighters,
people
who
run
our
staffer
restaurants,
et
cetera,
can't
afford
to
live
here,
and
the
businesses
in
our
community
have
has
already
started
to
feel
the
rub.
BI
Not
only
will
it
make
it
easier
to
recruit,
but
it
will
have
the
added
benefit
of
seeing
fewer
cars
on
the
road,
fewer
carbon
emissions,
far
less
traffic
and
ultimately,
better
air
quality,
and
I
also
love
that
underutilized
parking
lots
are
being
used
to
enable
this
project.
I
I
think
we
need
in
our
neighborhoods
to
have
them
be
more
resilient
and
vibrant,
more
people
and
less
cars
thanks.
BJ
Yes,
we
can
all
right,
so
I
live
in
mountain
view.
I
I
work
sort
of
near
the
project.
I
think
more
people
should
be
able
to
do
that.
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone.
You
know
the
benefits
of
this
project.
There's
over
300
new
units,
49
of
them
are
dedicated
as
affordable.
That's
something
the
city
just
gets
for
free.
We
don't
have
to
do
anything
for
those
units
also
a
park.
BJ
We've
also
gotten
a
lot
of
concessions
out
of
this,
so
we've
gotten
preservation
of
trees,
removal
parking
accommodations
for
existing
tenants.
Those
are
all
good
modifications,
but
I
think
it's
important
that
we're
not
like
stringing
this
project
along
with
successively
more
difficult
hoops
for
the
developer
to
jump
through
which
not
only
take
their
time,
but
also
our
time
and
staff
time
to
try
to
consider
so,
especially
when
we
have
to
go
back
and
forth
between
all
these
different
groups.
It's
like
they
all
want
different
things.
So
it's
been
a
long
time
coming.
BK
BL
Avalon
bay
has
demonstrated
repeatedly
that
their
priority
is
profit
and
they
actively
disregard
individual
and
public
safety.
So
I
urge
you
to
vote
no
tonight
I
could
talk
about.
You
know
the
loss
of
the
highway
85
tree
buffer,
but
others
have
you
know
these
trees
are
sound
buffers
and
toxic,
pollutant
protectors.
BL
I
could
talk
about
the
seven
years
of
12
hours
a
day
daily
air
quality
danger.
That
is
just
a
health
disaster
waiting
to
happen,
but
others
have
talked
about
that
already.
I
just
I
think
it's
insufficient
to
suggest
that
avalon
bay
will
relocate
people
who
have
the
privilege
of
obtaining
an
indiscriminate
doctor's
note.
Everyone
is
at
high
risk
when
you
pollute
the
air
like
this
without
offering

Hello,
my
name
is
elizabeth
munoz
and
I've
been
born
and
raised
in
mountain
view
have
lived
here.
My
whole
life
wasn't
sure
if
I
was
going
to
be
able
to
afford
to
continue
to
live
here,
but
here
we
are,
and
so
of
course,
I'm
here
fighting
this
project
mostly
because
I
feel
that
I
will
not
be
able
to
live
in
seven
years
of
construction,
dust,
noise
and
stress.
BM
I
feel
that
they'll
be
cutting
down
a
lot
of
necessary
trees.
I
feel
that
a
lot
of
people
will
eventually
be
displaced
as
an
effect
of
this
project,
and
I
don't
really
see
how
avalon
bay
is
continually
working
to
reassure
us.
I
haven't
really
been
appraised
of
this
project.
Very
often,
as
other
people
have
mentioned,
we've
been
censored.
AG
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
hello,
council,
members
and
city
staff.
There
are
three
major
problems
with
this
project's
latest
design:
the
loss
of
tree
buffer.
This
design
will
expose
current
and
future
residents
on
cpd
to
toxic
dust
from
tires
and
brake
linings,
respiratory
health
hazards
from
polluted
air
and
noise,
light
and
visual
stresses.
AG
These
risks
have
been
well
documented
and
published
in
scientific
data,
and
they
were
brought
up
repeatedly
by
the
sierra
club
representative
and
other
community
members.
The
second
one
is
exceeding
pm
2.5
threshold,
as
set
by
the
bay
area,
quality
management,
district
and,
frankly,
relying
on
avalon
to
implement
mitigation
that
will
really
minimize.
This
effect
is
very
questionable,
as
you
have
all
heard,
from
the
555
middle
field.
Tenants.
AG
AG
So
having
all
these
cars
or
parking
spaces
added
to
the
end
does
not
make
sense,
and
actually
I
would
advocate
for
taking
out
these
parking
spaces
and,
if
necessary,
we
can
move
them
under
block
b.
A
fair
compromise
between
the
residents
and
avalon
can
be
achieved
by
saving
the
tree
buffer.
Slightly
reducing
density
in
bloxy
and
moving
required
parking
towards
moffett.
BN
The
contractors
we
work
for
are
responsible
to
the
clients
to
the
neighbors
as
well
as
the
workforce
we
have,
can
and
will
build
everything
from
the
bay
bridge
to
the
house
down
the
street,
though
avalon
bay
may
put
on
pretty
slide,
shows
conduct
community
meetings
and
be
the
best
snake
oil
salesman
around.
They
do
do
so
by
standing
on
the
backs
of
good,
honest,
hard-working
people
that
actually
do
the
building
avalon
bay
will
provide
a
drag
racing
strip
to
the
bottom,
where
workers
have
to
rely
on
subsidized
food,
health
care
and
housing.
BN
K
Evening,
council,
in
july,
2nd
of
2015,
when
this
was
under
gatekeeper,
john
mcallist
was
mayor.
Pat
was
vice
mayor
dan
rich
was
city
manager
and
johnny
quinn
was
city
attorney,
so
it's
been
a
while,
since
this
has
seen
the
light
of
day
at
the
very
beginning,
and
instead
this
project
has
been
kind
of
thrown
all
over
the
place,
with
council
switching
people,
different
preferences
being
made
nitpicks
everywhere.
Such
the
point
that
we
talked
about
moving
units
from
one
place
to
another
cannot
work
because
council
previous
directed
that
they
want,
did
not
want
polar
heights.
K
It's
pretty
obvious
that
this
project
has
gone
way
over
any
reasonable
amount
of
time
to
make
any
reasonable
decision
about
this
project,
and
really
we
all
understand
this
housing
crisis
does
not
dictate
us
making
perfect
because
there's
no
perfect
in
the
situation,
we're
kind
of
given
the
cards
we're
dealt
with
and
we
need
to
move
on
from
there
for
all
the
concerns
about
mental
health
as
a
person
in
their
20s
one
of
the
greatest
things.
My
mental
health
is
just
being
able
to
say
no
location.
K
You
can't
really
stand
a
location
if
rent's
still
sky
high,
that
you
know
you
move
out
and
even
for
those
who
are
more
higher
up
the
employment
chain,
they
usually
move
to
other
places
like
in
the
middle
of
the
forest,
palestine's
like
tracy
modesto,
the
hills
where
you
know
they
catch
fire
and
when
those
fires
happen,
the
pm
for
everyone
just
sucks,
so
we
really
need
to
be
building
in
places
that
are
well
planned,
and
this
is
one
of
them.
Thank
you.

The
developer
proposes
to
remove
the
trees,
vegetation
and
tree
barrier
system
in
black
sea
that
extends
above
caltrans
sound
wall
between
highway
85
and
our
homes.
This
is
the
most
significant
long-term
threat
to
public
health
welfare
in
the
environment.
If
this
project
moves
forward,
this
public
health
threat
was
not
addressed
in
the
eir.
BO
The
residents
requested
numerous
times
for
the
developer
and
city
staff
to
address
the
very
serious
potential
health,
hazard
and
exposures
of
toxic
air
pollutants.
For
years
to
come,
we
have
submitted
to
epc
city,
council
and
avalon
bay,
several
scientific
studies,
reports
and
fact
sheets
about
the
important
health
benefits
of
highway
tree
barrier
system.
The
existing
highway
tree
barrier
system
is
a
poster
child
for
the
most
effective

barrier
system.

Avalon
will
still
cut
the
tree
buffer
on
highway
85
and
air
quality
pm
2.5
during
construction
for
long
time.
Seven
plus
years
is
too
risky
and
too
stressed
for
the
residents
and
the
high
density.
This
will
cause
the
traffic
hazard
on
long
narrow,
dead,
end
street
cypress
point
will
be
congested,
especially.
I
worry
about
the
emergency
situation
happens,
many
police
cars
and
the
ambulance
and
the
fire
cars
can
block
the
narrow
street
and
then

we
saw
earlier.
BQ

Please
make
the
right
decision
for

The
residents
are
very
stressed
already.
The
residents
will
have
to
suffer
with
polluted
air
for
a
long
time,

I
hope
the
city

stands
for
the

please
help
to
protect
our

When
the
when
the
staff
report
stated
avalon
said
that
moving
units
from
block
c
would
make
the
project
infeasible
notice,
they
used
the
word
infeasible
and
not
unfeasible
on
a
14.5
parcel
with
a
1.3
acre
park,
a
dog
park,
a
one-story
community,
building
an
extended
one-story

business
center.
There
are
many
options
to
move.
24
units
from
right
in

of
the
freeway
freeway

feasible
means
not
convenient
or
easy
does
avalon
mean
that
they
need
a
30
40
margin
on
this
project
and
reducing
it.
One
percent
is
not
convenient.
BR
Council
members
tonight
spoke
about
the
importance
of
heritage,
trees,
biodiversity,
people
living
on
site
with
asbestos,
which
I
thought
was
illegal
and
that
and
the
traffic
70
70
of
all
avalon
traffic
is
parking.
At
the
end
of
a

there
will
be
599

supposedly
on
the

coming.

One
of
my
neighbors
has
been
here
for
40
years
and
they
don't
really
have
too
many
other
options
and
so
to
not
provide
any
support
for
the
people
living
in
cyprus.
Point
woods
and
cypress
point
lakes
to
sort
of
move,
to
sort
of
move,
or
or
at
least
you
know,
protect
themselves
against
the
inevitable
pollution,
especially
if
their
tree
barrier
is
going
to
be
removed,
is
unacceptable
to
me,
and
I
find
that
most
of
my
neighbors
would
agree
with
that.
Thank
you.
BS
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
to
talk.
My
name
is
bill
walsh
and
I
live
at
339.
Cypress
point
drive
I'd
like
to
point
out
that
most
of
the
people
supporting
this
project
will
not
be
affected
by
it.
It's
easy
to
support
something
when
you're
not
being
directly
affected.
On
the
other
hand,
most
of
the
people
affected
by
it
are
opposed.
BS
They
think
it
is
a
very
bad
proposal
that
will
seriously
affect
their
quality
of
life,
to
add
a
few
insignificant
housing
units
to
an
all-male,
already
congested
residential
neighborhood,
and
it
will
affect
the
health
and
welfare
of
many
people.
People
support
good
development,
but
they're
opposed
to
this
very
bad
proposal.
At
this
location.
BS
O
Currently
more
than
half
of
the
construction
trades
households,
in
the
mountain
view
qualify
for
affordable
housing,
apprenticeship
trained
for
to
proven
way
to
boost
u.s
construction
workers,
lifetime
earnings,
and
this
would
enable
enable
more
of
the
workforce
to
remain
in
the
region.
Well,
no
on
this
project.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Seeing
no
other
members
of
the
public
wishing
to
speak,
we
will
return
to
the
council
for
deliberation
in
action
and
I'll
note
that
a
motion
to
approve
the
item
should
also
include
reading
the
title
of
the
resolutions
which
are
included
in
the
agenda
flow.
I'm
I've
already
closed
public
comment.
I'm
sorry
for
those
of
you
who
have
just
jumped
in
I'll.
Just
as
an
aside.
A
U
C
AR
AS
Sure
I
can
I'll
pull
up
a
slide,
so
this
shows
the
anticipated
schedule.
This
has
been
pushed
back
by
about
a
quarter
as
we
move
from
february
now
to
may
so.
Yes,
the
the
reason
for
the
schedule
it.
We
will
not
be
doing
construction
work
on
the
entire
partial
or
you
know
the
entire
property
all
at
once.
AS
It
will
be
phased
that
phasing
is
one
to
avoid,
having
construction
work
going
on
in
every
part
of
the
property
at
once,
which
would
be
very
difficult
to
to
manage
to
deal
with.
It
also
creates
some
parking
headaches
on
the
property,
so
we
phase
the
parking
so
that
everyone
always
will
have
a
place
to
park,
and
this
is
I
mean
it's
on
the
screen,
so
we
would
start
the
park
parcel
preparation
which
is
required
before
we
start
construction.
AS
C
U
Well,
I
will
try
to
explain-
and
you
know
if
you
need
a
further
explanation.
We
do
have
our
air
quality
consultant
and
our
environmental
consultant.
As
I
understand
it,
it's
it's.
A
conservative
estimate
and
sql
requires
us
to
look
at
the
most
impacted
areas
and
those
have
been
identified
and
it
does
assume
in
the
locations
of
the
buildings
that
have
been
identified.
W
Mayor
ramirez,
council,
member
labor,
so
staff
in
the
city
manager's
office
is
currently
working
on
that
project
and
I
believe
it
is
anticipated
to
be
brought
to
council
before
the
end
of
the
calendar
year.
I
will
need
to
ask
our
assistant
city
manager
audrey
ramberg,
to
confirm
because
she
is
helping
staff
with
this
project,
so
if
she
would
just
give
some
insight
into
that
time
frame.
L
Thank
you,
city
manager,
mccarthy,
the
city
manager's
office
is
working
on
a
responsible
construction
ordinance
as
well
as
a
wage
theft
ordinance.
But
I
believe
that
the
labor
issues
being
raised
by
public
speakers
tonight
would
be
covered
under
the
community
workforce
agreement,
which
is
a
separate
project
and
is
scheduled
to
begin
and
is
under
the
leadership
of
the
public
works
department,
and
I'm
recalling
that
that
was
scheduled
to
begin
at
the
end
of
2022
or
beginning
of
2023.
C
I
think
that
we
need
to
have
those
those
pieces
in
place
and-
and
I'm
really
glad
that
it's
finally
moving
forward
and
sadly
it
won't
be
in
time
for
this
project,
but
I
I
think
we
really
need
to
stay
appraised
of
what's
happening,
because
I
kind
of
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
on
track
and
that
we
keep
a
very
studious
eye
on
everything.
That's
happening
there
and
in
the
in
the
timing
of
it,
because
there
are
going
to
be
other
projects
coming
forward
and
I'm
gonna
hold
it
to
that.
AS
Excuse
me:
can
I
just?
Can
I
just
clarify
one
thing
on
the
air
quality
response
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure,
because
some
of
the
public
commenters
made
some
comments
along
these
lines.
If,
if
staff
can
can
confirm
the
exposure,
24
7
means
the
study
assumes
someone
is
standing
outdoors,
24
7,
not
that
there
would
be
impacts,
there
would
be
exposure,
24
7..
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
very
clear.
U
C
Okay,
and
if
I
just
might
ask
a
follow-on
question
through
the
mayor,
if
I,
if
I
may,
would
there
be
a
reason,
so
there
wouldn't
be
a
reason
for
a
worker
to
be
in
that
area
24-7
there
wouldn't
be
a
reason
for
a
piece
of
machinery
to
be
running.
24
7.,
it's
hard
to
imagine
that
a
another
person
who's
not
a
worker,
would
have
a
reason
to
be
in
an
active
construction
area,
interacting
with
heavy
machinery.
U
That
is
correct.
We
have
construction
a
horse
and
we
don't
allow
construction,
24,
7
or
running
of
machinery.
24
7.
we're
just
explaining
the
assumptions
that
one
has
to
make
when
employing
bachmann's
model.
And
again
you
know
if
there
are
detailed
questions
there
are.
Our
air
quality
consultant
can
respond
to
some
the
detailed
questions.
C
Okay,
well,
this
is
actually
very
helpful
as
as
I'm
trying
to
understand
the
impact
of
the
model,
because
I
I
don't
think
that
there
would
ever
be
a
reason
given
that
we
restrict
the
construction
hours
to
less
than
24
hours
and
and
people
will
not
be
working
24
hours.
And
so
therefore,
machinery
won't
be
running
and
a
person
would
not
be
ventilating
off
the
machinery.
W
Thank
you
mayor.
I
would
like
to
ask
our
public
works
director
don
cameron
to
clarify
the
project
that
we
were
just
referring
to.
As
our
assistant
city
manager
stated,
the
public
works
department
is
leading
this
and
the
intention
was
to
start
this
year,
but
I
want
to
clarify
what
the
parameters
were
around
the
project
right
now,
as
it
is
in
the
work
plan.
AB
What
we've
been
talking
about
is
the
development
of
a
community
workforce
agreement
and
public
works
is
taking
the
lead
on
that,
and
we
are
in
the
midst
of
putting
together
a
work
plan
and
approach
to
that
and
hope
to
have
something
back
to
council
in
the
fall
about
how
we
would
proceed
with
developing
that.
However,
we
need
to
clarify
that
what
a
community
workforce
agreement
is
a
legal
agreement
between
the
city
and
the
trades
related
to
city
projects.
AB
We
cannot
enter
into
agreements
with
the
trades
that
are
committing
private
development,
private
contractors
to
local
hire
and
other
community
workforce
type
provisions.
So
again,
what
we're
working
on
is
only
related
to
city
funded
projects.
At
this
time,
the
responsible
construction
ordinance
and
the
wage
to
that
ordinance
will
apply
to
private
construction,
but
it's
not
the
same.
That
is
not
local
hire
provisions
or
anything
like
that.
G
G
G
I
mean
the
air
quality
will
be
back
to
ambient.
You
know
back
to
the
so,
so
it's
not
going
to
be
24
7.
for
one
thing:
they're,
not,
I
don't
think
they're
going
to
work
on
weekends
right.
So
so
it's
going
to
be
five
days
a
week
I
mean,
even
during
the
time
when
they
were
doing
excavating,
it
would
be
from
what
eight
o'clock
in
the
morning
until
five
o'clock
at
night
is
isn't
that
correct.
AS
It
would
be
a
few
months
for
each
for
each
phase
for
each
building.
You
know
shorter.
Obviously,
in
the
the
prep
of
the
you
know,
there
is
no
excavation
during
the
the
prep
of
the
park
parcel,
but
then
say
two
to
three
months
for
the
for
the
deeper
garage
in
building
a
and
then
a
little
less
than
that
in
buildings
b
and
c.
G
Okay,
so
that
isn't
to
say
that
it's
not
a
problem,
but
it
isn't
going
to
be
a
problem
for
you
know
for
seven
years
nonstop.
I
certainly
really
do
have
a
great
deal
of
sympathy,
however,
for
the
inconvenience
of
having
a
construction
project
in
your
neighborhood.
I
know
I
live
near
el
camino
hospital
and
that
was
rebuilt
not
too
long
ago,
and
it
took
a
very
long
time.
I
I
think
it
was
only
five
years,
but
it
was
you
know
it
was
a
long
time.
G
G
Is
that,
yes,
there
is
an
impact
and
we're
going
to
work
as
hard
as
we
can
to
mitigate
it,
but
it's
for
a
long-term
gain,
because
having
this
infill
development
will
allow
people
to
live
closer,
which
does
reduce
our
regional
vehicle
miles
traveled,
and
that
is
good
for
all
of
us.
So
you
know
it's
it's
a
balance.
It's
a
balancing
act.
I
am
ready
to
make
a
motion.
Is
that
appropriate
mayor.
A
D
U
D
I
thought
with
the
gatekeeper
just
like
when
we
did
the
public
storage
project
right,
their
offering
was
an
extra
land
to
get
more
affordable
units,
and
I
mean
they
offered
that.
But
frankly
you
know
I
suggested
that
so
can't
we
as
council
members
say
well.
This
is
what
we
would
like,
as
a
community
benefit.
U
R
A
A
Impacts
that
we
need
to
be
sensitive
to
the
construction
period
is
pretty
lengthy
and
if
you
live
in
the
area,
that's
not
going
to
be
pleasant
to
contend
with.
I
know
because
I
live
in
the
san
antonio
shopping
center
area
and
we've
had
a
lot
of
construction.
There
time
I
was
living
in
an
apartment
with
the
window
facing
directly
towards
the
csma
extension,
which
is
a
you
know,
a
fairly
modest
project.
A
You
know
relative
to
the
apartment
complexes
that
are
going
up
nearby,
but
during
the
pandemic
and
the
shelter
in
place
requirement,
it
was
a
big
pain
in
the
neck,
and
I
mostly
had
to
keep
my
window
closed,
which
you
know,
particularly
during
you
know.
The
intense
you
know,
heat
waves
that
we
had
at
the
time
was
was
challenging.
A
I
didn't
have
air
conditioning,
I
don't
have
or
didn't
have
a
ceiling
fan,
so
I
I
have
full
sensitivity
to
how
impactful
construction
can
be,
and
our
job
in
part
is,
to
the
greatest
extent
possible,
mitigate
those
impacts
and
then
identify
benefits
to
the
community
and,
in
my
mind,
based
on
what
our
council
and
previous
councils
have
been
asking
for.
The
merits,
the
merits
of
the
project
are
very
strong.
The
15
inclusionary
component,
the
48,
affordable
homes,
is
pretty
remarkable.
A
We
I
don't
know
if
we've
actually
had
maybe
one
other
project
with
the
full
15
inclusionary,
provided
you
know
a
1.3
acre
park
and
we
spoke
earlier
about
the
need
for
parks,
and
this
is
a
a
park
deficient
area.
That's
something
that
would
be
very
challenging
to
get
land
is
very
expensive
and
cobbling
together.
1.3
acres
is
no
trivial
fee,
so
getting
that
is
a
major
benefit.
The
two
million
dollars
in
unrestricted
or
discretionary
community
benefits
funds,
which
I
hope
we
reinvest
in
this
neighborhood
you
know,
is
a
tremendous
benefit
as
well.
A
All
of
those
things
are
are,
in
my
mind,
important
factors
in
evaluating
the
merits
of
the
project
relative
to
the
impacts,
two
other
things
that
I
think
are
worth
mentioning,
though
one
is
the
housing
element.
If
we
do
not
proceed
with
the
project,
we're
gonna
have
to
find
another
place
for
323
new
homes,
and
that's
going
to
be
hard.
A
The
housing
element
is
going
to
be
hard
to
contend
with,
and
I
think
it's
good
to
think
about.
If
not
here
you
know,
where
would
we?
Where
would
we
find
a
place
for
a
project
like
this?
That
includes
the
benefits
that
it
provides,
but
the
thing
that
I
think
is
the
most
compelling
element
to
me
as
I've
thought
about
this
project
over
the
past
few
months.
Is
our
staff
wouldn't
bring
to
us
a
project
that
caused
serious
problems
for
the
community?
They
wouldn't
recommend
for
approval.
A
A
project
that
did
not
have
great
value
to
the
community,
if
you
know
no
offense
joe,
but
if
folks
in
the
area
are
very
skeptical
with
avalon.
That's
fine.
I
understand
why
you
know
they
don't
have
to
believe
what
you're
saying,
but
I
think
it's
important
that
we
trust
our
city
employees,
who
are
technical
experts
who
have
spent
a
great
deal
of
time
evaluating
the
project.
A
You
know
working
with
the
applicant
working
with
the
community,
working
with
other
technical
experts
like
the
bachmed
staff,
to
identify
best
practices
and
mitigations
to
make
the
project
as
minimally
impactful
as
possible
and
also
to
get
as
much
value
from
the
project
as
we
possibly
can
get
as
a
city,
and
so
I
you
know,
I'm
trusting
our
staff
on
this
one.
I
think
you've
done
good
work.
Is
it
perfect?
No,
but
I'm
not
sure
there
is
a
perfect
project.
A
C
Thank
you
mayor.
I
think,
as
as
we're
waiting
for
other
input,
we
could
begin
to
get
started
and
so
I'd
like
to
move
that
we
adopt
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
mountain
view,
approving
a
general
plan
amendment
to
add
a
new
high-low
density,
residential
land
use,
designation
and
making
related
text
amendments
and
an
amendment
to
the
general
plan.
Land
use
map
for
the
property
located
at
555
west
middle
field,
road
from
medium
density,
residential
to
high
low
density
residential,
to
be
read
in
title
only
for
the
reading
waived.
C
Second,
that
we
adopt
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
mountain
view,
approving
a
planned
community
permit
and
development
review
permit
to
allow
a
323
unit
addition
to
an
existing
402
unit,
residential
development
with
three
new
subterranean
garages,
new
amenity
building
leasing
office
and
new
1.34
acre
public
park
and
a
heritage
tree
removal
permit
to
remove
51
heritage
trees
at
555,
west
middle
field,
road
to
be
read
in
title.
Only
further.
Reading
waived
and
third,
that
we
adopt
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
mountain
view.
A
G
A
R
E
Good
assumption,
I
was
not
going
to
second
the
motion,
but
I
agree
with
your
comment
about
all
of
the
work
that
staff
has
put
into
this.
A
great
deal
of
work
has
gone
into
this
project
and
I
know
they've
tried
to
make
it
the
best
project
they
could,
and
I
appreciate
that
I
want
to
thank
all
the
residents
for
staying
engaged
on
this
project.
E
E
I
appreciate
that
additional
conditions
of
approval
were
added
to
address
the
air
quality
during
construction.
I
think
those
were
good
ads,
but
but
I
do
still
have
concerns
about
the
impact
of
this
very,
very
long
construction
period
on
not
just
the
residents
who
live
at
this
complex,
but
also
the
residents
in
the
surrounding
areas.
It's
at
least
seven
long
years
of
disruption
and
during
periods
where
there
is
excavation
going
on
you
know.
Well,
you
need
to
try
to
control
it
as
best
as
can
you
can.
E
A
G
G
G
We
can't
compromise
the
access
for
fire
trucks
and
emergency
vehicles,
it's
just
not
it's
not
something
we
can
do
and
and
so
we
weren't
able
to
accommodate
the
entire
alternative
it
just
it
just
wouldn't
work
which
was
unfortunate,
but
but
that
suggestion
to
save
trees
in
the
middle
and
reduce
the
parking
that
the
applicant
was
willing
and
able
to
do
that.
I
think
that's
quite
wonderful
and
I'm
really
pleased
they
are
beautiful
trees
and
somebody
said
well.
G
Maybe
maybe
the
excavation
will
will
upset
those
trees
and
they
won't
make
it,
but
I
I
don't
know
I
think
maybe
they'll
know
how
to
protect
them
and
they'll
be
fine.
So
that's
that's
what
I'm
I'm
not
banking
on,
but
I
think
the
thing
that
I
I
just
keep
coming
back
to
two
things
about
this.
This
complex
that
I'm
really
pleased
with
one
is
that
this
is
just
such
a
great
location,
such
a
great
walkable
location.
G
It's
a
five
minute,
walk
to
downtown
it
when
we
have
the
underpass
under
evelyn.
That
connection
is
going
to
be
just
so
delightful
for
these
residents
to
use
these
new
residents
to
use
and,
and
also
the
people
who
live
there
now
and
then,
and
so
I
think
that
that
that
the
walkability
of
this
site
and
is
is
just
gonna
make
it.
You
know
really
pleasant
place
to
live,
and
I
also
think
the
access
to
the
stephens
creek
trail.
The
stevens
creek
trail
is
a
good
way
to
get
across
el
camino.
G
G
I
was
just
extremely
troubled
during
2015
and
16,
when
we
listened
for
when
the
council
listened
for
to
hundreds
of
people
talk
about
the
horrors
of
being
displaced,
because
rents
had
gone
up
and
the
horrors
of
losing
their
friends
because
they
had
to
move
out
of
town.
Nobody
has
to
move
here,
and
these
rent
control
departments
will
remain
rent
control
departments,
and
I
think
that
that's
just
extremely
valuable.
V
Thank
you,
mayor,
hicks,
good
evening,
council
members.
I
just
wanted
to
respond
to
the
question
from
council
member
avacoga
about
whether
or
not
we
could
impose
as
a
condition
of
approval.
If
I
understood
correctly,
it
would
be
a
type
of
a
local
hire
requirement
or
something
to
that
effect.
I
think
that
those
types
of
policies
imposing
labor
standards
of
that
nature,
like
living,
wage
or
equal
benefits,
local
hire,
really
need
to
be
an
adopted
city
policy.
That
applies,
you
know
that
is
generally
applicable
and
that
are
not
applied
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
V
D
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
city
attorney
and
mr
bastiva,
for
responding
to
my
question
as
much
as
I
understand
it.
I,
I
guess
you
know,
I
thought
this
might
be
project
a
project,
but
if
we're
moving
towards
some
kind
of
policies
down
the
road,
it
could
be
the
start
of
that,
but
regardless
I
do
want
to
thank
everyone
involved
in
this
project
for
a
very
long
time,
especially
our
staff
who
have
worked.
I
think,
really
really
hard
to
try
to
make
this
project
a
a
good
one.
D
I
appreciate
the
developer
too.
I
think
that
I
appreciate
the
efforts
and
the
willingness
to
to
make
some
changes,
and
especially
on
in
regards
to
the
air
quality
aspects,
and
I
just
let
me
let
me
think
the
residents
too
seven.
It
is
a
lot.
It
has
been
a
long
time
in
the
making,
and
so
I
do
appreciate
the
interest
and
I
feel,
like
the
interest
has
grown
over
time,
and
so
I
appreciate
the
the
involvement
of
our
community.
D
I
did
want
to
call
out
the
air
quality
aspects
because,
as
you
know,
as
I've
mentioned,
I
am
on
the
bay
area,
air
quality
management
district
and
after
we
saw
this
in
february,
I
had
asked
my
air
district
staff
about
this
conflict.
This
issue
and
our
city
staff
worked
with
them
to
come
up
with
these
extra
mitigation
measures,
and
I
really
appreciate
that.
D
I
think
you
know
it's
still,
there's
a
lot
of
gray
area
to
all
of
this,
and
the
science
is
not
completely
solid,
I'd
say
or
it's
it's
hard
to
measure.
I
think,
is
really
more
that
the
challenges
we
have
here,
but
I
think
one
I
think
it's
better
to
be
conservative
than
not
because,
unlike
what
I've
I
think
I
heard
earlier,
you
know
pm
2.5
is
toxic.
It
is
a
public
health
concern.
It
does
cause
health
issues,
including
lung
cancer.
D
You
know
perhaps
it's
because
I'm
immersed
in
this
right
now
and
we're
working
on
care
communities,
lower
income
communities
and
the
bay
area
really
focused
on
east
oakland
richmond
areas
where
there
are
neighborhoods
around
the
refineries,
but
there
are
real.
There
are
real
health
aspects,
health
issues
where
you
know
cancer
is
there's
a
higher
rate
of
cancer
within
a
half
a
mile
of
a
refinery
compared
to
outside
of
that
perimeter.
D
It
just
makes
me
it
just
makes
me
question
what
the
point
of
the
whole
process
is,
if
we're
just
going
to
keep
overriding
them,
and
you
know
as
much
as
I
I
hear
the
comments
well,
this
is
not
any
different
from
any
other
project
and
yes,
the
big
issue
is
that
we
are
a
non-attainment
district
in
the
bay
area,
but
you
know
if
we
continue
to
just
override
override
the
eir
continue
to
allow
this
to
happen.
There
is
a
cumulative
effect
and
it
is
going
to
get
worse.
D
D
I
wasn't
on
council
at
that
time.
So,
of
course
you
know
I
had
no
say
in
that,
but
I
guess
my
my
point
is
that
I
believe
that
from
the
beginning
this
could
have
been
done
better
and
even
with
the
project
I've
heard.
I
heard
public
comments
of
you
know
folks
saying:
well,
you
should
decide
what
you
want
and
I
actually
did
tell
the
applicant
from
the
very
beginning
when
I
first
met
with
them
in
2017
that
I
think
there
are
issues
with
the
the
proposal.
D
You
know
I
I
support
density.
I've
supported
it
all
along,
but
you
know
I
had
suggested
you
put
the
density
over
on
the
middle
field
side,
but
I
was
told
you
know:
that's
not
feasible
this
and
that-
and
I
guess
I
question
the
feasibility-
that's
all
subjective.
If
you
ask
me,
yes,
I'm
sure
there's
a
bottom
line,
but
you
know
on
this
project,
especially
there's
no
land
cost
here,
because
the
the
land
was
owned
and
they're
simply
adding
units
to
land
that
is
already
owned.
So
I
would
think
there's
more
flexibility.
D
I
think
we've
seen
that
in
some
of
the
mitigations,
but
it
really
makes
me
you
know.
I
just
believe
that
from
the
very
beginning
I
had
said
this
is
what
I
think
needs
to
be
done
to
make
it
a
a
quality
project
that
will
succeed
and
that
can
be
supported
by
the
neighborhood
and
it
just
wasn't.
You
know
I
was
on
the
losing
side
of
votes
or
just
wasn't
folks
didn't
follow
my
suggestions.
D
So,
in
light
of
that,
that's
my
you
know
my
baseline
reason
that
where
I
can't
support
this
and
I
could
have
supported
a
different
project-
maybe
even
a
higher,
a
higher
density
project
if
the
density
is
in
the
right
place
as
far
as
displacement-
and
you
know
redevelopment
it's
interesting.
I
think
this.
This
has
been
a
good
case
example
where
you
know
there
are
some
underlying
conflicts
that
we
have
to
address
is
displacement
more
important
than
public
health.
D
You
know,
should
we
have,
I
think
we
should
have
relocated
folks,
we
could
have
done
a
you
know,
different,
maybe
better,
maybe
even
more
units
on
this
project-
and
I
just
you
know,
want
to
want
to
highlight
that
there's.
It
seems
to
be
this
assumption
that
rent
controlled
units
mean
low
income
tenants,
but
that's
really
not
the
case
for
in
all
cases,
and
even
in
this
case
it
was
maybe
20
that
would
qualify
for
low
income.
D
My
concern
is,
you
know,
and
I
I
know
people
have
lived
through
construction
and
I've
said
this
before,
but
I
have
lived
through
four
years
of
construction
about
a
hundred
feet
from
me
and
you
can
close
the
windows.
You
can
do
all
that,
but
I
will
say
it
is
miserable
when
you
have
to
do
that
from
seven
a.m,
to
six
pm
every
single
day
and
that's
what
I
had
to
do
and
just
expect
you
know
people
to
not
go
outside.
It's
just
not
realistic.
I
had
to
get
outside
get
even
just
to
get
the
mail.
D
So
that's
what
I'm
really
concerned
about
is
you
know
on
paper?
This
might
all
look
great,
but
the
reality
of
it
is
not
so
great
and
I
think
we
just
have
to
be
realistic
of
it.
I
believe
that
a
lot
of
these
folks
will,
you
know,
start
out
there,
but
after
six
months
a
year
two
years,
they're
probably
going
to
move
on
out
because
it's
going
to
be
miserable
and
so
shouldn't
we
have
been
able
to
relocate
them
with.
D
You
know
a
trail
financial
assistance,
then,
frankly
letting
them
you
know,
do
it
on
their
own.
So
I
think
we
really
have
to
look
at
each
each
project
case
by
case
and
figure
out
what
the
real
priorities
there
are
and
what
the
real
issues
there
are
and
not
just
make
these
blanket
statements
of
you
know
this.
This
isn't
displacement,
so
it's
good
or
displacement
is
bad.
I
think
we
really
have
to
look
at
each
issue
each
each
project
case
by
case
I
will
say
too
in
terms
of
vehicle
miles.
D
Traveled,
that's
another
issue,
there's
no
guarantee
that
everybody
who
lives
here
is
going
to
work
in
mountain
view,
and
you
know
the
internalization
rate
for
north
bay
shore
was
calculated
at
27,
so
that's
less
than
a
third.
So
it
really
brings
into
question
how
much
v,
how
much
bmt
is
going
to
be
reduced,
and
if
you
ask
me
if
there
was
a
comment
about
the
folks
living
in
lathrop,
you
know
I
work
on
transportation,
because
ultimately
I
believe
that
that
is
just
as
important
as
building
housing.
D
If
you've
had
clean
transportation,
high-speed
rail,
caltrain
electrification,
you
could
afford
to
live
a
little
further
away
and
not
worry
about
ghg
emissions,
so
I
think
there's
a
lot.
This
is
a
lot
more
complex
than
people
are
trying
to
make
this
out
to
be
it's
not
about
being
a
young
me
or
a
nimby.
D
D
D
D
D
D
Okay,
diana
can
also
share,
and
if
council
member
libra
has
it
that's
fine?
Well
I'll,
have
you
tell
me
if
it's
sufficient
that
we
approve
the
addendum
to
the
555
west
middle
field?
Final
environmental
impact
report,
together
with
eir
certified
by
resolution
number
18643
in
accordance
with
california,
environmental
quality
act.
D
Council,
member
lieber
did
you
wanna,
yeah
I'd
love
to
make
a
few
comments,
given
the
number
of
hours
that
I've
worried
and
thought
about
this,
and
this
is
going
to
require
a
sacrifice
from
the
people
who
live
there.
I've
I've
lived
next
to
a
construction
site.
It
was
actually
in
an
avalon
development
where
there
was
a
building
dug
next
door
with
a
very
large
basement,
and
it
was
not
a
pleasant
process,
and
so
I
don't
take
this
on
lightly.
D
I
would
never
be
in
in
support
of
this
if
I
thought
that
there
would
be
a
public
health
impact,
but
I
think
that
the
most
important
thing
about
moving
this
development
forward
is
that
it
is
in
mountain
view,
it's
not
in
the
coyote
valley,
it's
not
in
the
the
farmland
of
the
coastal
zone.
It's
not
out
in
modesto.
D
It's
mostly
not
going
to
require
people
to
sit
with
their
cars
or
trucks
idling
in
traffic
for
long
periods
of
time,
and
there
is
no
clean
air
measure
that
I
will
not
support.
I've
spent
most
of
my
political
life
working
on
very
impactful,
actual
real
world
clean
air
measures
and
worked
very,
very,
very
hard
for
them.
D
D
But
this
is
something
that
we
can
do
and
while
it
will
have
an
impact
on
the
quality
of
life
for
people
in
that
area,
I
think
it
is
a
net
positive
for
our
city
and
it's
something
that
multiple
councils
have
worked
on
for
a
very
very
long
time,
and
I
I
really
applaud
our
city
staff,
who
have
worked
on
this,
who
have
hung
in
there
for
the
the
long
time
you
know
the
title
mvp
has
been
thrown
around.
I
think
they're.
D
D
D
D
Oh
sorry,
I
missed
that
so
council
member
robbie
toga
was
that
a
second
oh,
fantastic,
okay,
thank
you
and
I
think
we'll
need
a
roll
call
vote
for
that
as
well
mirror
marist,
yes,
councilmember
abby,
kuka,
hi,
councilmember,
lieber,
hi,
councilmember
magic,
yes,
councilmember,
shawwalter!
Yes,
vice
mayor
hicks!
No,
oh
no!.
D
I
would
just
like
to
report
that
we
had
a
very
short
council,
neighborhoods
committee
meeting
to
okay
the
grants
that
will
be
forwarded
as
part
of
our
budget,
and
we
had,
I
think,
17
neighborhood
associations
put
in
applications
for
grants.
So
I
I
think
that
that
you
know
they.
They
produce
a
lot
of
great
activities
in
the
community
that
that
build
good
feelings
between
neighbors
and
then
I'd
just
also
like
to
announce
that
there
will
be
a
regular
council
neighborhoods
meeting
for
the
grant
sullivan
neighborhood
this
thursday.
D
D
D
D
It
was
to
be
able
to
see
the
well
something
happened
to
to
to
see
that
that
operation
and
how
it
it
it
interfaces
with
our
our
police
department
operations.
So
if
you
ever
have
a
chance
to,
I
highly
recommend
the
tour
as
we
also
as
many
of
you
were
there.
We
were
able
to
host
our
congresswoman
anna
issue
as
well
as
congressman
zoe
lofgren,
and
about
15
female
elected
officials
from
the
area
for
a
press
conference
on
the
in
expected
supreme
court
decision
of
roe
v
wade.
D
And,
finally,
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit.
I'm
sorry,
I
know
it's
late,
but
I
think
this
is
important
to
mention
and
I'll
try
to
follow
up
with
some
more
written
information.
But,
as
I've
mentioned,
I
serve
on
the
bay
area,
housing
finance
authority
as
a
part
of
mtc,
and
at
our
last
meeting
last
week
we
approved
a
budget
buffa
received
20
million
dollars
from
the
state
as
a
seed
money.
To
begin
this.
D
This
this
this
effort
and
the
focus
is
on
five
pilot
projects
that
center
around
actually
tenant
protections,
more
affordable
housing
production,
doing
an
inventory
of
housing,
affordable
housing
to
make
it
more
accessible
for
folks,
and
so
there's
five
projects
in
the
works,
and
so
we
budgeted
funds
for
staff
to
start
those
projects.
And
then
the
final
piece
is
to
begin
to
move
forward
on
a
regional
revenue.
D
So
I'm
happy
to
provide
more
else
and
I
can
send
links
to
the
information
I've
mentioned
it
to
staff,
but
as
we
talked
more
about
affordable
housing
and
how
to
fund
it,
I
just
want
folks
to
be
aware
that
this
other
effort
is
underway
at
the
regional
level.
Thank
you
thank
you
and
when
you
do
get
that
information,
please
do
send
it
because
I
I
had
no
idea
and
I'd
love
to
learn
more
council
member
mata
check
thanks.
D
D
D
Thank
you.
We
will
now
adjourn
the
meeting.
Actually,
this
route
I
had
forgotten
council
member
abi
toga,
had
requested
that
we
adjourn
the
meeting
in
honor
of
secretary
and
congressman
norm
menetta.
I
don't
think
that
requires
a
vote.
Correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
staff,
but
councilman
robbie
koga,
did
you
want
to
speak
to
this
a
little
bit
like
given
the
late
hour?
D
I
I
I
don't
think
I
need
to
say
much
but,
as
mentioned
congressman
secretary
norman
was
definitely
an
icon
and
a
real
game,
changer
leader
of
our
community
in
our
nation
and
unfortunately,
he
passed
away
last
week,
and
we
wish
we
send
our
deepest
condolences
to
the
minetta
family.
But
thank
you
for
adjourning
this
meeting
in
his
memory.
He
will
be
remembered
for
I
think,
for
many
many
generations
to
come.
