chair
and
members
of
the
commission
again
Diana
pancholi
principal
planner,
with
the
planning,
Division
and
I,
have
with
me
tonight
our
assistant
city
manager
and
Community
Development,
director
aarti
srivastava.
The
item
in
front
of
you
tonight
is
the
North
Bayshore
master
plan.
I
The
153
acre
master
plan
area
is
located
north
of
Highway
101
in
North,
Bayshore,
precise
fine
area
highlighted
on
your
screen
here.
The
area
as
it
exists
today
is
predominantly
office
and
r
d
development
adjacent
to
Santiago,
Villa
Mobile,
Home
Park
to
the
South
and
Shoreline
Regional
Park
to
the
north.
I
In
March
of
2021
city
council
authorized
the
re-qualification
of
1.3
million
of
non-residential
floor
area
to
Google,
subject
to
a
minimum
Community
benefit
of
42
million.
At
that
meeting,
the
council
also
provided
input
on
Google
and
lens
Visa's
Prime
preliminary
master
plan
proposal
subsequently
in
2021
EPC
and
city
council,
also
reviewed
the
formal
master
plan
proposal
and
supported
the
overall
land
use
plan,
open
space
plan,
affordable
housing
proposal,
District
parking
proposal,
including
Amphitheater
lazy
garage
tree
removal
and
replacement
framework,
streamlined
permit
review
process
and
development
agreements,
key
terms
and
public
benefit
package.
I
At
this
meeting,
Council
directed
staff
to
strategize
on
providing
a
School
site
at
Shorewood
yards
located
in
the
master
plan
area.
The
development
Review
Committee
also
reviewed
the
project
at
two
different
public
hearings
and
provided
a
final
recommendation
to
city
council
with
specific
design
conditions
included,
in
exhibit
a
of
the
project
resolution.
I
During
the
project
review
process,
the
applicant
has
conducted
over
60
community
outreach
meetings
with
various
stakeholders,
Community
groups
and
interested
parties.
The
majority
of
the
community
members
attending
the
meetings
have
voiced
their
support
for
the
master
plan,
particularly
the
introduction
of
new
housing
units
in
North,
Bayshore,
commercial
and
Retail
Services,
and
the
vast
open
space
Network
that
is
being
proposed
as
part
of
the
project.
I
The
applicant
Google
lendlies
is
proposing
to
demolish
the
existing
structures
in
the
mass
plan
area
in
order
to
construct
a
maximum
development
program
to
include
up
to
seven
thousand
high
density
residential
units.
Approximately
289
000
square
foot
of
ground
floor,
active
uses,
26
Acres
of
open
space
and
1.3
million
net
new
office
development.
I
The
master
plan
proposal
includes
reduced
parking
ratios
at
full,
build
out
and
a
robust
EDM
program
consistent
with
the
precise
plan
standards
and
the
city
requirements
in
compliance
with
the
North
Bayshore
precise
plan.
The
proposal
includes
shared
parking
facilities
for
office
and
residential
uses
and
a
district
parking
approach
to
help
manage
parking
demand
which
supports
vehicular
trip
reductions.
I
The
district
office
parking
strategy
includes
a
parking
garage
proposed
at
Shoreline
Amphitheater
Lord
C
consistent
with
this
Council
support
at
December
2021
study
session.
After
going
through
the
Surplus
lands
act
process,
the
city
is
currently
negotiating
a
long-term
lease
with
Google
for
use
of
the
slotsy
for
parking
purposes,
and
this
would
be
considered
by
the
city
council
on
June
13.
As
a
separate
item.
I
The
applicant
is
requesting
up
to
30
years
to
construct
the
master
plan
in
eight
phases
to
read
before
rebuilding
existing
office
square
footage
to
be
demolished.
Existing
sorry,
existing
square
footage
to
be
demolished
new
office
square
footage
to
be
rebuilt
and
make
space
for
new
residential
development
as
well.
I
Talking
a
little
bit
about
the
residential
development
program,
the
master
plan
proposes
up
to
to
use
88.8
million
square
foot
of
residential
bonus
far
to
achieve
up
to
7
000
residential
units.
This
will
be
able
to
implement
71
percent
of
all
the
Resident
residential
units
envisioned
in
the
North
Bayshore
precise
plan.
I
I
In
addition
to
the
market
rate
units
the
applicant
is
proposing
to
meet
the
city
and
the
precise
plans
affordable
housing
requirement
by
providing
15
units
through
land
education.
The
applicant
has
previously
proposed
additional
five
percent
inclusionary
units,
which
is
not
part
of
the
revised
proposal
in
front
of
the
EPC
tonight.
The
additional
five
percent
inclusionary
housing
proposal
was
above
and
beyond
the
precise
plan
requirements
and
was
part
of
the
community
benefit
package
back
in
2021..
I
I
An
economic
feasibility
study
conducted
during
preparation
of
the
precise
funds,
affordable
housing
guidelines
back
in
2019,
indicated
significant
challenges
in
developing
inclusionary
housing
in
North
Bayshore.
Therefore,
the
current
land
dedication
proposal
would
be
a
more
feasible
option
and
may
result
in
a
higher
yield
of
units.
Additionally
the
land
education
options
provide
greater
flexibility
to
the
city
as
well
to
Target
a
specific,
affordable
housing
mix
in
order
to
assess
the
applicant's,
affordable
housing
proposal,
City
hired
sifel
Consulting
team
to
evaluate
the
proposal.
I
The
analysis
includes
in
evaluation
of
the
development
proposal
for
each
land,
education,
its
development
potential
and
parcel
based
on
the
city's
experience
with
prior,
affordable
housing
development
and
based
on
input
from
other
local,
affordable
housing
Developers.
Some
of
the
key
assessment
results,
as
shown
on
your
screen
and
I'll,
just
go
through
some
of
the
key
findings.
I
The
study
resulted
in
finding
that
the
land
being
dedicated
is
sufficient
for
providing
15,
affordable
units,
and
the
proposal
meets
the
precise
plan
requirement.
The
dedicated
parcel
School
generate
are
a
range
of
950
to
around
1100
1100
units
depending
upon
various
development
features.
Such
as
the
unit
mix
the
unit
size
and
the
building
Heights
moving
on
to
the
non-residential
section
of
the
development
proposal
for
city
office
development,
so,
in
addition
to
the
residential
development,
The
Proposal
also
includes
around
3.11
million
square
foot
of
office
development.
I
This
includes
1.8
million
square
foot
of
existing
office
to
be
rebuilt
within
the
North
Bay
Shore
area,
and
up
to
1.3
million
square
foot
of
bonus.
Far
from
the
precise
plants
non-residential
bonus
far,
the
project
would
meet
the
bonus.
Far
requirements
through
Community
benefit
contributions.
Sustainability
features
in
built-in
the
proposal
and
the
affordable
housing
proposal
in
the
master
plan
going
into
further
details
of
the
community
benefit
to
comply
with
the
precise
fans
bonus,
far
requirements
and
council's
bonus,
far
re-qualification
condition
from
March
2021.
The
project
was
subject
to
a
minimum.
I
I
Since
the
study
sessions,
the
applicant
has
revised
their
Community
benefit
proposal
to
dedicate
the
4.1
acre
parcel
valued
at
approximately
43
million
to
the
city.
This
provides
council
with
flexibility
to
lease
the
property
for
a
future
School
site
at
this
at
the
location
shown
in
the
on
the
screen
right
now.
The
revised
Community
benefit
proposal
is
valued
higher
than
the
previously
previous
proposal
and
is
in
line
with
the
council's
interest
in
acquiring
the
future
School
site.
Within
the
master
plan
area.
I
I
The
active
use
development
program
will
include
rebuilding
around
11
000
square
foot
of
existing
retail
and
redistributed
throughout
the
area.
Social
spine,
as
highlighted
on
the
screen
over
here,
is
Envision
as
the
Hub
of
active
users
in
the
master
plan,
development
with
non-vacular
access
and
ground
floor
active
uses
on
both
sides.
I
A
network
of
public
parks
and
Open
Spaces
are
also
proposed
throughout
the
master
plan
as
part
of
The
Proposal.
The
project
requires
around
34
35.7
Acres
of
Parkland
to
fulfill
its
Parkland
obligation
per
the
city
code.
Applicant
proposes
to
meet
this
obligation
by
dedicating
land
to
the
city,
obtaining
Parkland
credit
for
Popa,
open
spaces
and
making
payments
towards
in-lu
fees,
which
will
be
utilized
for
construction
of
the
public
parks
in
future.
I
This
proposal
includes
12,
distinct,
Open
Spaces,
which
accounts
for
14.8
Acres
of
public
park
space
and
11.3
Acres
of
privately
owned,
publicly
accessible
Popa
areas
as
part
of
the
development
agreement.
The
applicant
is
requesting
100
Popa
credit,
whereas
the
current
city
code
allows
up
to
75
credit.
I
All
of
the
proposed
Popa
Open
Spaces
meet
the
Popa
credit
eligibility
criteria
per
the
city
code.
The
credit
request
would
allow
the
project
to
achieve
the
master
plan's
residential
development
yield
and
is
in
line
with
the
recently
adopted
housing
element
policy
which
seeks
to
reduce
overall
Parkland
dedication
requirements.
I
This
would
be
reviewed
for
compliance
with
the
city's
Popa
credit
requirements.
The
applicant
has
proposed
conceptual
purpose,
design
details
as
part
of
the
implementation
plan,
which
was
reviewed
by
City
staff
and
the
DRC
and
is
included
in
the
EPC
package
as
well.
The
conceptual
plan
includes
key
elements
for
conformance
with
the
city's
proper
credit
requirements,
which
would
be
used
for
future
review.
As
I
mentioned
earlier.
I
Although
specific
tree
removal
proposals
are
not
being
proposed
as
or
approved
as
part
of
the
master
plan,
it
does
include
a
tree
removal
and
replacement
framework,
which
was
previously
reviewed
and
supported
by
the
city
council.
At
the
December
2021
study
session
staff
will
use
this
framework,
along
with
City's
standard
criteria,
to
review
future
tree
removal
requests
under
this
subsequent
zoning
permits.
I
Now
talking
a
little
bit
about
the
public
benefits,
another
element
of
the
project
is
a
30-year
development
agreement
to
allow
for
flexibility
in
the
timing
and
phasing
of
the
project.
Implementation
and
delivery
of
a
large-scale
project
of
this
nature
would
otherwise
exceed
the
city,
standard
approval
and
permit
extension
period
as
part
of
the
development
agreement.
I
I
Procedurally,
it
is
important
to
understand
how
the
master
plan
would
be
implemented
through
future
permits.
Applicant
would
be
required
to
apply
for
subsequent
zoning
permits
and
building
permits
for
individual
developments
within
a
phase
as
supported
by
the
city
council.
During
the
December
2021
study
session,
the
master
plan
will
utilize
the
streamlined
review
process
where
all
the
future
permits
consistent
with
the
master
plan,
would
be
reviewed
and
approved
at
an
administrative
zoning
Hearing
in
Liu
office
city
council
hearing.
I
So
as
shown
on
this
slide,
if
a
master
plan
is
approved,
the
applicant
will
come
in
with
subsequent
zoning
permit,
which
would
follow
typical
development
review
process.
With
the
city
staff
reviewing
for
compliance,
there
would
also
be
a
public
Outreach
meeting
for
Community
input.
The
project
would
be
reviewed
by
the
development
Review
Committee
and
finally,
the
zoning
administrator
would
make
a
final
decision
on
the
permit
at
a
public
hearing.
I
In
this
case,
it
was
the
air
quality
and
the
precise
plan.
Eir
was
a
program
level
eir
which
had
separate
thresholds
and
standards
compared
to
a
development
project.
So
the
master
plan
project
was
reviewed
for
bacmed's,
prod,
Bay
Area,
air
quality
management
districts,
project
level
thresholds
and
found
to
have
significant
unavoidable
air
quality
impacts
directly
tied
to
the
scale
of
the
project.
I
Therefore,
it
would
result
in
significant,
unavoidable
greenhouse
gas
impacts
as
well.
Implementation
of
the
city
conditions,
mitigation
measures
identified
in
the
subsequent
eir
and
all
other
impacts
would
be
less
than
significant
levels.
So,
with
these
significant
and
affordable
impacts,
and
in
order
to
certify
the
eir,
the
city
is
required
to
adopt
a
statement
of
overriding
considerations.
I
Outside
the
the
sequel,
realm
and
Analysis,
which
determines
impact
based
on
the
vehicle
miles
travel,
the
city
also
prepared
a
master
plan
level.
Multimodal
Transportation
analysis
also
called
as
MTA.
This
was
prepared
to
evaluate
the
transportation
and
circulation
system
operations
for
all
modes
conform,
compliance
with
the
Gateway
trip
caps
and
analyze
parking
scenarios
for
the
project.
I
The
results
on
the
of
the
MTA
confirmed
that
the
Master
Plan
full
build
out
will
not
exceed
the
Gateway
trip
caps
due
to
implementing
robust
TDM
program
to
achieve
a
35
single
occupant
vehicle
rate
and
completion
of
the
priority
Transportation
improvements
that
were
identified
in
the
precise
plan
and
updated
in
the
circulation
study.
The
MTA
did
indicate
the
Shoreline
Boulevard
within
the
North.
Bay
Shore
area
could
experience
significant
vehicle
delays,
particularly
at
intersections
due
to
increasing
traffic
along
the
corridor
and
on
the
cross
streets.
I
However,
this
is
at
full
build
out
over
30
years
and
conditions
may
change
during
that
time.
Site-Specific
Transportation,
analysis
or
mini
mtas
will
be
required
as
part
of
future
zoning
permits
to
help
identified
localized
operational
issues
that
may
result
from
the
phase
of
Master
Plan
development
and
potential
Solutions,
such
as
additional
strategies
to
better
manage
Peak
period,
congestion
for
Shoreline,
Boulevard,
New
traffic
signals
or
Advanced
Technologies
for
intersection
operations
or
other
multimodal
improvements.
The
applicant
will
be
required
to
contribute
a
fair
share
for
any
improvements
that
are
identified
as
part
of
these
Mini
mtas.
I
In
terms
of
next
steps
and
administrative
zoning,
public
hearing
is
scheduled
on
May
10
2023
to
review
the
development
agreement
and
provide
recommendation
to
the
city
council.
The
council
public
hearing
is
also
scheduled
for
June
13
2023
to
consider
recommendations
from
the
DRC
EPC
and
the
zoning
administrator
and
make
the
final
decision.
I
In
summary,
the
master
plan
is
consistent
with
the
precise
plan,
with
a
few
exceptions
described
in
the
staff
report,
which
are
required
to
implement
the
vision
of
the
precise
plan
and
support
it
through
the
massapan
process
to
achieve
the
residential
yield
proposed
here.
These
would
be
considered
and
reviewed
as
part
of
the
subsequent
zoning
permits.
Based
on
all
the
discussion
presented
in
the
project
plan
staff
report
and
today's
presentation,
the
project
meets
the
development
goals
in
the
precise
band
character
areas.
I
The
complete
neighborhood
development
targets
meets
the
affordable
housing
guidelines
is
in
compliance
with
the
development
Vision
in
the
Gateway
master
plan
for
Google's
portion
of
it,
and
is
also
in
compliance
with
the
subdivision
map
Act
and
the
city's
General
plan.
The
master
plan
is
implementing
City's
vision
for
the
North
Bay
Shore
area.
I
So,
in
conclusion,
staff
recommends
that
the
EPC
recommend
to
the
city
council
to
certify
the
subsequent
eir
approve
the
master
plan
and
the
proposed
Westing
tentative
map,
subject
to
the
conditions
of
approval.
This
concludes
staff
presentation.
I
would
like
to
tell
that
you
know
we
have
our
eir
Consulting
team.
Our
subconsultants
present
here,
along
with
staff,
to
answer
any
of
the
commission's
questions.
Thank
you.
C
J
Thank
you
for
having
us
here
tonight
to
present
the
master
plan
for
North
Bay
Shore,
as
you
could
just
tell
we've
been
at
it
for
a
while
and
just
would
like
to
Express
appreciation
to
staff
in
particular
RT
and
Diana
for
all
of
their
hard
work.
Over
the
past
five
years,
it's
really
been
five
plus
years
in
the
making,
since
the
city
updated
the
master
plan
and
or
the
precise
plan
in
2017
to
add
housing.
I
would
also
like
to
on
behalf
of
our
entire
team.
J
Google
is
called
Mountain
View
home
for
over
20
years.
We
remain
committed
to
investing
in
the
community
and
our
long-term
presence
here
in
North
Bayshore.
The
past
few
years
have
been
challenging
for
us
all,
and
it
is
important
at
this
moment
that
we
continue
to
be
good
stewards
of
our
real
estate
and
our
investments.
J
Tonight
we
have
the
opportunity
to
take
the
next
step
towards
delivering
on
the
city's
vision
of
transforming
North
Bayshore
from
a
car-centric
Suburban
Office
Park
into
three
complete
vibrant
mixed-use
neighborhoods,
and
to
enable
much-needed
housing.
This
is
a
transformation
built
on
the
principles
of
human-centered
design
and
grounded
in
the
Ecology
of
place.
J
J
J
And
finally,
we
will
be
supporting
small
businesses
through
our
10
million
dollar
small
business
assistance
program,
which
is
part
of
our
18
and
a
half
million
public
benefit
package,
which
also
includes
a
million
and
a
half
in
people-centric
funds
for
the
city
to
use
at
its
discretion,
two
million
dollars
in
public
art
and
5
million
towards
the
ecogem
improvements.
So,
together
with
the
430
million
dollar
School
data
land
dedication
site
for
the
school,
we
will
be
delivering
more
than
40
percent
of
the
required
community
and
public
benefits.
J
K
J
E
I
have
a
quick
question,
but
it's
about
process
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
understood
this
correctly,
so
I'm
going
to
need
our
city
team
to
be
able
to
help
me.
Let
me
know
if
I'm
understanding
this
correctly
or
not.
So
if
this
is
approved,
The
Next
Step
then,
is
a
like
a
rocket
pocket.
It's
going
to
be
expedited,
it'll
be
going
through
certain
committees
and
then
finally,
it
will
be
sent
to
city
council
for
approval,
which
means
that
EPC
has
no
further
say
outside
of
this
meeting
tonight.
E
E
You
and
then
my
second
process
question
is
my
last
one:
it
comes
down
to
the
agreement
itself.
Typically,
when
these
things
happen
and
bear
with
me,
everyone,
because
I'm
new
to
this
spot,
so
I'm
trying
to
trying
to
do
the
best
I
can
here.
Okay,
when
these
things
come
up
to
EPC
in
terms
of
this
plan
that
we're
looking
at
tonight
are
the
agreements,
typically
something
that
we
don't
review
in
a
pine
on
or
was.
Is
this
a
mistake.
L
When
you,
when
you
mentioned
agreements,
oh
the
development
agreement,
yes,
so
for
the
ordinance,
the
development
agreement
recommendation
is
made
by
the
zoning
administrator
and
it
goes
to
the
council,
but
we
felt
that
it
was
important
for
the
Planning
Commission
to
look
at
key
elements
of
it,
since
they
work
together
and
they've
been
provided
to
you
as
part
of
the
presentation
and
the
staff
report.
Thank.
M
F
O
F
F
One
thing
that
I
know
this
has
been
thought
through
and
I,
just
kind
of
want
to
hear
you
reassure
me
and
perhaps
it
could,
it
could
show
up
in
the
next
version
of
the
report
for
the
land,
dedication
and
the
affordable
housing
that
would
be
built
under
the
auspices
of
the
city
on
that
land.
What
is
the
city's
plan
for
getting
securing
and
spending
that
money
kind
of.
C
L
Thank
you
Eric.
We
actually
prepared
an
affordable
housing
funding
strategy.
At
this
point,
we
are
actually
over
subscribed
and
are
showing
quite
a
deficit
of
approximately
60
million
dollars,
but
what
we're
looking
at
is
partnering
with
agencies.
Looking
at
Grants
there's,
actually
a
rather
large
Regional
Grant.
That's
going
to
be
expected,
it's
called
baffa!
L
That's
going
to
potentially
bring
in
1.2
billion
to
to
Santa
Clara
I
mean
Santa
Clara
County
cities,
which
doesn't
include
San
Jose.
So
it's
got
lots
of
potential
and
our
housing
department.
Housing
division
is
actually
putting
together
a
strategy
to
be
able
to
fund
affordable
housing.
Now
the
city
typically
funds
only
a
share
of
it
and
when
we
own
land
that
has
been
our
share,
so
we
start
out
in
good
shape
because
we
have
land.
We
also
have
land
from
the
pear
Avenue
development.
L
We
have
a
one
acre
site
in
this
in
the
North
Bayshore
area,
in
addition
to
the
Seven
Acres
that
we'll
be
getting,
we've
got
land
in
Middlefield
Park
as
well.
The
master
plan
which
you
reviewed
so
the
Land
part
of
it,
is
a
significant
contribution
and
then
beyond
that,
usually
the
affordable
housing
developer
puts
a
funding
stack
together
with
the
help
of
income
that
they
get
from
units
state,
tax
credits
and
other.
L
You
know
County
funding
and
other
funding
options,
but
we
are
expecting
to
have
to
contribute
and
we're
we're
looking
at
how
best
to
put
that
together.
We
don't
have
the
money
right
now,
but
we
have
a
plan
for
it
and
we
know
that
there's
some
additional
measures
coming.
That
could
be
an
opportunity.
P
H
So
I
have
a
couple
questions
or
a
few
I
shouldn't
lie.
We
ask
staff
this
question
a
few
times
already,
probably
because
we
forget
so
sorry
in
advance
again
but
I'm,
hoping
that
the
repeatedness
of
the
question
will
make
it
rather
easy
to
pull
an
answer
out.
Roughly
speaking,
what
is
the
per
door
cost
of
an
affordable
unit
of
bringing
one
online.
L
It's
pretty
close
to
a
million
dollars,
it's
very
expensive
to
build,
but
it
does
include
land
costs
so
with
with
the
providing
land
we're
well
ahead
and
I'll
go
one.
Further.
We've
been
looking
at
the
typical
City
contribution.
It
amounts
to
about
a
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
a
unit.
Okay.
So
we
pay
about
12.
L
I'm
going
to
try
to
answer
it,
but
I
might
need
our
community
services
director
to
to
help
with
this
I
remember
when
we
were
looking
at
the
housing
element,
we
had
estimated
somewhere
between
60
and
70
000
per
unit
as
a
park
fee.
Now
we
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
a
significant
portion
of
that
Park
fee
is
going
to
be
paid
through
the
dedication
of
Parkland
and
through
the
100
popocratic
for
publicly
privately
owned
publicly
available
space.
L
Q
Besides
dedicating
the
14
point,
Acres
14.8
acres
and
the
Popa
of
11.3
Acres,
they
would
owe
approximately
112
million
in
park
and
Lou
fees,
so
this
works
out
to
about
seventy
thousand
dollars
per
unit
for
the
number
of
units
that
are
being
paid
as
Park
and
loop
fees.
Instead
of
dedicating
land
also
remind
you
that
affordable
housing
is
exempt
from
Park
land
dedication
requirements.
H
L
It's
today's
in
Luffy.
Yes,
it's
it's
as
it
would
be
today
and
then
they
would
pay
whatever
the
amount
would
be.
You
know,
subject
to
any
escalations,
typically
they're
paid
when
they
pull
building
permits
and
if
they
we
expect
them
to
pay
towards
the
end,
when
they've
dedicated
all
the
land
and
there's
no
more
land
to
dedicate
that's
when
they're
going
to
have
to
pay
in
order
to
be
in
compliance.
So.
L
H
L
R
L
L
L
Well,
we're
actually
looking
at
other
ways.
We've
we
we're
looking
at
a
certain
number
of
units
to
be
constructed,
regardless
of
where
the
phasing
is
certain
Park
Parcels
to
be
dedicated,
so
we're
looking
at
deliverables
for
the
community
in
terms
of
below
market
rate
sites,
Park
land,
the
school
property
and
a
certain
number
of
units,
so
that
those
those
are
going
to
be
in
the
in
the
performance
criteria.
L
L
It
is,
it
is
conceivable,
but
just
having
I
think
it's
going
to
be
difficult,
because
phases
come
together
and
the
street
improvements
come
together
and
it
makes
sense
for
somebody
to
put
them
all
together
instead
of
building
them
in
in
little
pieces
or
sites.
So
we
do
expect
that
chunks
of
phases
will
move
together
because
the
the
improvements
have
to
be
made
accordingly,
and
it
just
makes
sense
to
do
so.
But
what
we
might
might
see
is-
and-
and
the
applicant
has
said-
and
maybe
they
can
answer
this
question
better
than
I.
L
The
first
phase
is
supposed
to
be
building
back
the
the
demolished
office
space
and
what
they've
said
is
they
probably
are
not
going
to
do
that?
Given
the
office
environment,
they'll,
probably
move
forward
with
the
residential
part
first,
so
they'll
start
demolishing
Parcels
for
residential
and
start
on
the
residential
projects.
So
that's
an
example
of
how
the
phasing
may
not
move
forward
exactly
as
proposed.
They
might
move
forward
with
phase
two
instead
of
phase
one.
C
So
next
question
the
Vice
chair
asked
the
question
about
the
brothers
remedy
proposal.
The
well
Google
has
proposed
complying
with
the
the
Gateway
master
plan.
The
essentially
the
Builder's
remedy
basically
says
I,
don't
have
to
pay
any
attention
to
it
if,
when
they
get
to
phase
eight,
the
Builder's
remedy
project
in
the
sciwest
property
looks
nothing
like
the
Gateway
master
plan.
L
You
might
recall
that
we
had
adopted
a
Gateway
master
plan
in
the
area
that
was
shared
by
side,
west
and
and
Google,
and
when
Cyrus
submitted
its
Builders
remedy
application,
it
had
it
included
a
total
of
2200
units
instead
of
2000
units,
but
the
elements
of
the
master
plan
in
terms
of
the
street
layout
and
the
open
space
were
very
much
in
conformance
with
the
Gateway
master
plan
So.
Based
on
that,
we
believe
that
it
will.
It
will
fit
in
and
be
compliant.
C
C
L
C
B
C
C
As
the
assistant
city
manager
mentioned,
the
funding
for
these
things
comes
from
other
people
and
it
is
pretty
well
understood
within
the
blood
market
rate
housing
community
that
things
like
distance
from
Services
distance
from
transit
are
a
part
of
making
a
project
viable
in
order
to
secure
funding,
I'm
specifically
concerned
about
the
parasite
or
the
one.
That's
right
next
to
San,
Antonio
Villa,
it's
quite
far
from
anything
and
did
was.
S
And
you're
making
an
excellent
point
about
competitiveness.
The
whole
plan
for
North
Bayshore
is
to
actually
make
it
more
Transit
friendly,
that's
the
objective
and
so
to
have
Transit
along
the
shoreline.
Corridor
is
really
important
and
that
will
deliver
more
services,
but
it
is
a
new
community
that
has
to
be
created.
La
Avenida,
which
is
the
Eden
Project,
which
is
on
Shoreline
Boulevard,
was
able
to
effectively
compete
and
is
in
construction
now
so
you're
correct.
That
pair
is
further
away
from
that,
but
I
think
over
time.
S
So
there's
two
two
components
to
the
the
land:
dedication
in
phase
one.
One
of
those
components
is
right
next
to
Gateway
right
at
Plymouth,
Avenue,
so
very,
very
close
to
the
Eden
La
Veneta
project.
The
other
one
is
further
over
you're
correct,
closer
to
Santiago
Villa.
You
know
the
funding
criteria
is
all
changing
like
I'll.
Just
give
you
an
example,
you
know
Transit
improvements,
help
you
meet
the
criteria
for
Asic
funding,
the
affordable
housing,
sustainable
communities
of
funding.
S
So
if
there
were
some
kind
of
Transit
improvements
that
were
tied
to
the
project,
which
could
be
something
that
could
provide
competitive
criteria
also,
as
the
Community
Development
assistant
managed
city
manager
said,
we
are
anticipating,
there's
going
to
be
both
the
funding
and
bother.
Funding
is
also
really
looking
at.
How
can
you
expand,
affordable
housing
into
areas
like
this
that
are
mixed
use,
areas
that
are
underdeveloped.
S
E
E
C
E
The
record
I
mentioned
to
you,
I,
wouldn't
have
any
gotcha
questions
and
I
remain
true
to
that.
But
I
do
have
questions.
One
thing
that
I
wanted
to
highlight,
though,
to
the
community.
Was
this
one
question
that
I
shared
with
you,
which
was
the
three
Parcels
that
should
be
dedicated
by
2029
I,
think
it's
10
acres
of
either
Popa
or
that
to
be
given
to
the
city
for
their
use,
and
the
question
I
had
asked
is:
how
do
you
make
the
decision
of
which
way
you're
going
to
go.
J
Some
of
the
considerations
are,
as
has
been
discussed
in
the
event
that
we're
moving
along
through
the
residential
in
shorebird
and
the
office.
That's
north
of
shorebird
way
is
still
out
on
the
horizon.
We
may
decide
to
it's
in
the
best
interest
of
the
community
to
dedicate
the
parcel
to
the
city
to
deliver
a
public
park
as
an
amenity
to
their
residential
community.
E
J
Right
and
there's
a
process
in
place
where
we
would
meet
with
staff,
and
we
would
look
at
the
parcel
and
we
would
make
reasonable
accommodation
changing
the
configuration
the
shape
to
ensure
that
it
meets
the
needs
of
the
the
public
park
program.
As
long
as
it
doesn't
impinge
on
the
development
capacity
of
the
adjacent
parcel.
E
That's
wonderful
to
hear
so
here's.
My
second
question
then,
seeing
that
there
is
flexibility
built
into
that
to
accommodate
the
needs
of
the
community.
I
understand
the
school
district
has
a
parcel
of
4.1
Acres
that
might
be
dedicated
to
them,
but
it
looks
like
if
you've
had
relationships
with
them
recently
in
terms
of
updated
information,
but
now
we
all
know
that
the
school
district
actually
needs
five
acres.
Are
you
open
to
that.
J
So
that
you
know
with
many
aspects
of
this
project,
there's
a
long
history
and
evolution
of
of
how
we
got
to
where
the
site
is
today
and
and
the
size
and
the
location
of
it.
Several
years
ago,
the
school
district
hired
an
architect
to
do
a
study
to
show
a
urban
school
could
be
built
on
the
Four
Acre
Site
to
house
up
to
700
students.
J
We
understand,
that's
still
the
size
that's
anticipated
for
for
this
community,
so
we
feel,
like
the
the
parcel
size
and
location
is
meets
the
needs
of
the
school
district,
but
certainly
open
to
to
meet
with
them.
We
reached
out
last
Friday
and
are
happy
to
sit
down
with
them
at
any
time
to
discuss
the
plan.
Obviously
there's
a
conversation
that
needs
to
happen
between
the
city
and
the
school
district.
Ultimately,
the
land
gets
dedicated
to
the
city
and
then
the
ultimate
Arrangement.
That's
a
discussion
between
the
city
and
the
District
of.
E
E
I
can
I
can
see
why
yeah
I
don't
agree
with
it.
But
I
can
understand
that,
because
I
think
that
you
all
are
looking
at
the
bigger
picture
here
right.
So
here's
my
question
then
well
Google
specifically
be
the
ones
responsible
for
building
the
residential,
or
is
that
going
to
be
given
to
some
other
entity
that
will
be
responsible
for
that
after
you
sell
the
land.
J
Google
is
not
a
residential
developer,
so
we
would
you
know
when
we
talk
about
residential
development,
we
like
to
use
the
word
enable
we
will
effectively
act
as
the
master
developer,
to
provide
the
infrastructure
to
make
a
a
site
pad
ready
for
vertical
design
and
construction
But.
Ultimately,
that
would
be
the
responsibility
of
a
third-party
developer.
K
E
See
so
Ben
would
you
be
open
to,
in
this
case,
I
have
to
look
at
the
big
picture
here
with
that
five
percent
being
rescinded,
we're
looking
at
anywhere
between
35
to
55
homes,
I'm
thinking,
maybe
more
value-wise
I'm
thinking
that
it
could
be
anywhere
between
30
to
50
million,
that's
being
lost
on
that
with
no
return,
wow,
that's
kind
of
hard
to
swallow
right.
So
are
you
open
to
being
able
to
contribute
that
amount
for
that
type
of
housing
to
be
built,
and
you
can't
contributing
that
amount
to
a
developer?
J
J
You
know,
as
I
mentioned,
we've
been
balancing
a
number
of
competing
needs.
This
effectively
is
an
economic
equation
where
you
have
total
project
revenues
and
total
project
cost.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
we
need
to
look
at
what
allows
market
rate
residential
to
move
forward
for
developers
to
go
to
the
capital
markets
and
have
a
feasible
plan.
So
at
this
point
you
know
we
feel
like
we're
we're
at
the
limit
of
overall
economic
feasibility.
J
As
the
cycle
Consulting
report
points
out,
there
is
a
range
right.
It's
ultimately
up
to
the
city
on
the
land
that
gets
dedicated
to
decide
the
unit
mix
in
size.
We
did
a
similar
kind
of
scenario,
testing
to
show
that
the
city
could
actually
achieve
up
to
17
and
a
half
percent
on
the
Seven
Acres.
If
you
went
even
more
to
the
extreme
with
one
bedrooms
and
Studios,
you
could
get
to
the
20,
so
we
think
there's
the
opportunity
to
exceed
the
15
requirement.
E
Enough,
okay
and
then
in
terms
of
the
parcels,
I'm
gonna,
go
back
to
that
question
when
I
looked
at
and
maybe
I
missed
this
team
so
bear
with
me
if
I
miss
it.
Please
call
me
out
and
tell
me,
but
if
you
all
decide
to
go
with
those
10
acres
by
2029
as
Popa,
is
that
the
only
one
shot
that
the
city
has
to
get
10
acres
of
land?
J
So,
just
to
clarify,
when
we
talk
about
the
10
acres,
it's
it's
actually,
it's
11
acres
of
the
Eco
gym
that
is
dedicated
to
the
city,
the
land
for
public
park
by
2030.,
the
11
acres,
that's
currently
designated
as
Popa.
That's
where
we
have
the
discretion
to
convert
to
dedicated,
and
that
will
happen
on
a
parcel
by
partial
parcel
by
parcel
basis
as
we
move
through
the
phases
of
development.
So
it's
not
a
one-time
use
it
or
lose
it.
K
L
Chair
if
it's
okay,
I
wanted
to
address
a
question
brought
up
by
commissioner
Gutierrez
about
the
School
site,
I
do
want
to
say
that
parks
in
park
space
and
school
sites
cannot
they're,
not
fungible.
So
space
that's
dedicated
as
a
park
has
to
be
used
for
Park
purposes,
and
that
was
exactly
the
Dilemma.
L
If
there
were
specific
questions
related
to
anything
outside
of
the
land
use
issues,
but
I
did
want
to
sort
of
say
for
the
purposes
of
our
land
use
discussion,
the
Four
Acre
Site
is
what's
being
provided
as
Community
benefit.
The
council
is,
you
know,
committed
to
carving
out
that
Four
Acre
Site,
as
for
future
School
site
for
the
Mountain,
View
wisdom
and
School
District.
A
T
A
I
A
A
I
know
limited
amounts
about
that
and
from
what
I
know
when
you
do
divide
Parcels
like
that,
you
could
potentially
sell.
What's
above,
let's
say
it's
an
apartment
building
but
maintain
the
retail
below
and
it
it
offers
a
lot
of
options
for
the
future.
But
some
of
the
drawbacks
to
that
are
that
you
could
make
a
change
to
one
parcel
that
affects
the
other
parcel
and
then
there's
nothing
they
can
do
about
it.
So
I,
don't
know
if
that
sort
of
challenge
had
been
addressed.
L
O
J
Great
thank
you
for
the
question.
Let's
see,
I'll
do
my
best
to
answer
that,
so
we
have
not
we.
While
we've
studied
the
district
systems
in
the
eir,
it
is
an
option.
We
need
to
develop
the
business
case
for
it
and
it
largely
depends
on
kind
of
the
scale
of
the
development
and
really
what
helps
is
the
delivery
of
office
and
residential
and
the
the
balancing
of
the
loads
day
and
night
to
your
question
around
affordable.
J
It
would
increase
the
cost
to
make
them
District
systems
ready,
over
and
above
a
conventional
building.
It's
something
we
looked
at
at
the
market
rate
buildings
in
East
wissman.
So
in
order
to
be
able
to
have
that
future
connection,
you
do
need
to
build
the
conventional
systems.
So
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
redundant
cost.
What
the
exact
cost
is
I
I
can't
speak
to,
but.
J
To
your
first
question
around
it
being
scaled
down,
there
are
a
couple
components
that
we've
looked
at.
The
primary
one
is
District,
Heating
and
Cooling.
That
system
can
actually
scale.
You
can
add
units
as
you
go
to
meet
the
increased
demands
that
are
placed
on
it.
One
component
that
we're
you
know
it's
still
provided
for
is
an
option
in
the
future
is
recycled
water.
We
understand
that
the
city
is
moving
forward
with
recycled
water
plant
in
Palo
Alto,
and
so
we've
agreed
to
effectively
be
the
customer.
J
J
B
B
A
A
A
J
The
number
of
market
rate
units
that
we've
landed
on
is
12.50,
so
a
thousand
250
market
rate
units
and
again
because
the
the
phasing
is
adjustable.
It's
not
we've
moved
away
from
the
idea
of
any
specific
phase
and
we've
moved
to
a
number
of
units,
and
then
the
public
benefits
the
one
and
a
half
million
dollars
for
people-centric
fund,
the
2
million
for
public
art
and
the
5
million
for
ecogem.
If
those
have
not
been
delivered
by
year,
15
we
or
all
of
that
has
not
been
delivered.
L
F
Thank
you,
so
I
have
an
incredibly
Picayune
question
about
trees
that
I
forgot
to
ask
early
earlier,
because
it
was
so
petty.
It's
essentially
sixth
grade
math
that
I
need
a
little
help
with
I'm,
looking
at
specifically
page
25
of
the
staff
report.
This
is
about
how
we're
counting
trees
and
says
you're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
be
removing
roughly
about
2
900
trees
is
what
I
see
here:
28.95
that's
1345
Heritage
trees
and
what
was
it
about
1550,
non-heritage
trees
and
my
understanding
is
for
placement.
If
it's
not
Heritage,
it's
one
for
one.
F
If
it's
Heritage,
it's
two
for
one
right.
So
if
I
count
100
and
1
345
Heritage
trees,
you
double
it
I
get
26.90
and
then
1550
non-heritage
trees
that
adds
up
to
about
40
to
40
by
my
quick
lawyers.
You
know
mathematics
skills
here,
but
the
what
it
says
here
is
the
applicants
proposing
to
plant
approximately
3115,
so
there's
1100,
trees,
missing
and
I'm,
just
wondering
where
are
they?
Are
they
in
the
ecogem
where'd?
They
go.
L
I'll,
just
chime
in
and
then
a
great
question
by
the
way,
because
I
thought
somebody
might
ask
that
well,
typically,
if
they
are
larger
in
size,
then
they're
allowed
to
convert
the
two
to
one
to
one
to
one.
So,
for
example,
you
might
have
had
to
plant
a
24
inch
box,
but
if
you
plant
the
larger
48
inch
box,
then
you
can
come
down
to
the
one.
L
So
it
depends
I
think
they've
taken
a
look
at
where
the
opportunities
are
to
plant
larger
trees
and
grow
them
quicker,
possibly
in
the
ecogem
and
and
that
then
reduces
the
number
of
trees
planted
and
typically
with
the
master
plan,
the
size.
Sorry,
that's
a
great
question
and
I
thought
I'd
just
explain
a
little
bit
more.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
planting
trees
that
later
on,
have
to
be
taken
down
because
I've
seen
that
happen.
I
E
E
J
J
All
of
the
needs
right
that
need
to
be
met
in
the
community
to
try
to
come
to
a
balanced
outcome.
There's
a
certain
amount
of
revenues
that
are
generated
from
the
project.
Certain
amount
of
uses
cost
the
community
benefits
is
one
of
them,
as
I
mentioned
in
my
presentation,
we're
over
40
percent
of
the
required
Community
benefit
amount.
So
again,
I
feel
like
we're
going
above
and
beyond
already.
E
Thank
you
for
saying
those
words,
because
I
think
you
can
do
better
in
your
meetings
leading
up
to
this
session.
Here
you
spoke
to
the
community
about
meeting
these
objectives
of
being
part
of
a
mountain
View's
history,
because
you
in
fact
started
here
and
you've
grown
since
then,
and
you
are
a
member
of
the
city,
whether
we
like
you're,
a
fact
or
not.
That's
besides
the
point,
I
totally
understand
business
is
business.
At
the
same
time,
many
folks
have
been
priced
out.
E
Property
values
have
gone
dramatically.
High
we've
lost
working-class
folks,
we've
lost
people
like
my
parents,
they're
not
here
they
can't
afford
it.
I
can
barely
afford
it.
I,
don't
know
how
much
longer
to
be
honest
with
you,
so
I
have
to
ask
these
questions
you
understand.
So.
My
question,
then,
is:
if
you
think
that
you're
part
of
the
community-
and
you
want
to
pitch
in-
why
is
it
so
difficult
to
then
be
truthful
at
the
community
sessions?
E
And
if
you
were
truthful
there
and
it
wasn't
a
problem
when
you
mentioned
that
affordable
housing
was
a
concern
for
you
all
the
rescinding
of
the
five
percent,
it's
hard
for.
You
it's
a
matter
of
metrics
for
the
community,
it's
a
matter
of
being
able
to
live
here
or
not,
and
establishing
an
equitable
and
profitable
partnership
between
the
city
and
whatever
it
can
get
and
Google
and
whenever
it
wants
to
get
so,
there's
a
balancing
act.
There
I
appreciate
your
time.
Thank.
R
D
Looking
at
some
of
the
transportation
analysis,
figures
and
I
I
wonder
if
we
can
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
is
a
peak
hour
and
and
how
we,
how
we
look
at
this
and
just
given
given
changes
and
work
patterns
and
and
noting
that
during
so
the
first
bullet
says
the
cumulative
conditions.
Vehicle
volume
is
less
than
me.
D
Looking
at
the
intersection
level
of
service
at
11
intersections
that
will
not
meet
City
standards.
Can
we
just
talk
about
that?
More
broadly
and
and
I
have
not
kept
tracked
of
what's
happening
on
Shoreline
Boulevard
or
resole,
focusing
on
reversible
bike
Lanes,
just
putting
that
in
context
would
be
helpful.
Q
Let
me
see
if
I
can
kind
of
unpack
that
question
a
little
bit
for
you
to
start
with
in
terms
of
current
conditions
on
the
gateways
and
Shoreline
Court
or
they
are
traffic
is
still
down.
You
know
based
upon
the
changing
work
patterns
after
coming
back
from
the
pandemic
and
the
amount
of
return
to
office
that
that
has
been
experienced
so
far
and
in
fact
it
is
scheduled
for
the
next
council
meeting
to
receive
the
North
Bay
Shore
trip
cap
monitoring
compliance
report
for
the
counts
taken
last
fall
and
this
spring.
Q
So
again,
it
still
does
continue
to
show
that
we
are
well
below
the
cap.
Traffic
is
not
through.
Those
gateways
has
not
returned
yet
to
pre-pandemic
levels.
We
have
seen
it
grow
between
last
fall
and
this
spring
we
are
seeing
it
start
to
increase,
and
we
expect
that
to
continue
in
terms
of
the
city's
plans
for
our
priority
Transportation
improvements.
We
still
are
planning
to
deliver
those
improvements
and
working
towards
them.
Q
The
Charleston
Transit
corridor
from
ring
store
forward
to
Shoreline
for
Transit
Lanes,
as
well
as
cycle
tracks
and
many
pedestrian
improvements,
and
the
Plymouth
Avenue
realignment
project
to
align
it
up
with
space
Park.
All
of
those
projects
are
continuing
forward,
while
they
were
originally
planned
to
address
traffic
conditions,
we
were
even
seeing
pre-pandemic.
Their
primary
purpose,
however,
was
to
was,
as
part
of
the
precise
plan,
needs
and
planning
ahead
for
the
future
Transportation
needs.
Q
So
it's
still
very
important
to
build
these
out.
They
are
critical
to
the
successful
circulation
and
meeting
the
the
traffic
demands,
as
well
as
providing
a
really
robust
bicycle
and
pedestrian
system
supporting
transit
in
North,
Bay
Shore,
hopefully
along
the
same
timelines
as
the
master
plans
being
built,
and
if
we
get
a
little
ahead
of
them
even
better
because
it
means
the
infrastructure
is
in
place
to
support
them.
Q
D
Q
Yes,
those
those
pieces
are
still
underway
as
well,
so
we
basically
start
with
the
transit
center
and
Castro
Street
when
we
talked
about
creating
primarily
a
bicycle
Corridor
that
will
get
you
from
downtown
into
North
Bay
Shore.
So
we
are
in
final
design
for
the
grade
separation
project
that
will
create
a
bicycle
and
pedestrian
under
crossing
of
the
train
tracks
in
Central
Expressway.
We
expect
the
first
phase
of
construction
to
begin
on
that
project
next
year
in
2024
and
it'll
take
a
couple
years
to
complete
Construction.
Q
In
addition,
then,
we
pick
it
up
at
100,
Moffett
Boulevard
across
Central
Expressway,
and
we
have
What's
called
the
Sterling
bike
and
pet
Improvement
project
that
recently
received
a
Federal
Grant
and
it
is
almost
done
with
design
I
believe
we're
supposed
to
advertise
it
for
construction
into
this
year,
and
that
will
then
create
a
series
of
Bikeway
improvements
that
Connect
using
Sterling
that
connect
through
to
Shoreline
Boulevard.
It
also,
then,
creates
some
additional
bike
bike
improvements
on
Shoreline.
Q
That's
part
of
this
Sterling
project
that
will
connect
to
Middlefield
and
now
we're
to
the
bus
lane
project
starts
at
Middlefield
and
the
cycle
tracks.
There
and
that
project
was
had
to
be
was
paused
on
construction.
We
had
to
do
some
redesign
and
we'll
be
re-bidding
it
at
the
end
of
this
year,
as
well
or
early
2024,
so
that'll
get
going
under
construction,
we're
in
preliminary
design
for
a
bike
and
ped
bridge
over
101
that
picks
up
just
south
of
101,
where
the
shoreline
cycle
track
then
leads
into
this
bike.
Q
Ped
bridge
that
then
lands
north
of
101
and
then
connects
through
to
cycle
track
and
bike
facilities.
That
will
continue
up
Shoreline
Boulevard,
as
well
as
connect
to
the
rest
of
the
bicycle
circulation
system
plan
for
North
Bay
Shore.
So
we've
got
a
lot
in
process
right
now
and
we'll
be
seeing
the
rate
we're
going.
We
will
be
seeing
a
lot
of
projects
under
construction
within
the
next
two
years.
D
That's
really
helpful
and
actually
maybe
I
can
take
you
up
on
an
offer.
I
think
you
said
Audrey's
here
and
I
suspect.
A
lot
of
public
comment
might
talk
about
schools
and
I.
Wonder
if
we
could
just
hear
that
kind
of
contextual
discussion
of
what
the
city
is
in
conversation
about
the
school
district
I
know
that
it
fears
a
little
bit
off
of
the
land
use
path,
but
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
public
comments
that
would
be
helpful
to
have
that
before
we
go
into
that
session.
N
P
My
Audrey
Seymour
ramberg
assistant
city
manager,
thank
you,
commissioner
and
I
I,
do
want
to
be
General
in
my
response
in
that
the
item
before
the
commission
tonight
does
relate
to
the
land
use
matters
of
the
the
master
plan,
but
there
is
some
context
that
I
can
provide
for
ongoing
conversations
between
the
city
and
the
school
district.
Regarding
the
city's
desire
to
be
a
good
collaborative
partner
and
assist
the
school
district
in
meeting
capacity,
school
capacity
needs
that
are
related
to
housing
growth
in
North
Bay
Shore.
P
There
is
a
city
council
policy
of
a
school
strategy.
In
addition,
we
have
the
shoreline
Regional
Park,
Community,
special
Park
and
Recreation
District,
that
provides
a
payment
to
the
school
districts
each
year.
The
amount
of
that
payment
is
current
for
future
years
following
the
June
of
this
year
is
under
negotiation,
and
that's
context.
That
I
think
is
helpful
in
the
ongoing
nature
of
the
shoreline
Regional
Park
Community,
with
its
many
obligations
that
it
needs
to
fulfill,
including
the
the
vision
of
robust
housing.
S
L
15
years
well,
they
would
have
to
get
in
the
ground
and
begin
in
order
to
extend
it
and
typically,
we
expect
it
to
start
much
earlier
than
15
years.
Typically,
people
don't
wait
for
that
long,
but
this
was
just
kind
of
the
edge
condition.
You
know
they
know
that
if
they
haven't
started
construction
on
these
units
they're,
they
can't
move
any
further,
especially
with
the
with
the
rest
of
the
project
which
might
include
office.
C
L
L
Well,
I
I.
Maybe
the
applicant
can
answer
their
expectations
for
how
they
hope
to
proceed.
But
we've
had
many
many
conversations
about
well
what?
If
what?
If
and
we
said
well,
we
we
can't
just
extend
it
for
30
years.
We
need
certain
deliverables,
and
so
that's
what
we
negotiated.
A
certain
number
of
units,
delivery
of
a
good
part
of
the
below
market
rate,
delivery
of
the
parks.
C
D
C
L
No,
so
they
get
30
years
to
build
that
office
out.
But
what
we've
said
is:
if
you
want
those
30
years
to
build
office,
you
have
to
give
the
city
certain
things
within
15
years
or
you
don't
get
that
so
they
can
take
their
time
building
the
office.
We
don't
have
any
deliverables
to
deliver
office
square
feet
under
the
D.A.
They
get
the
Whole
30
years
to
build
that
out.
B
C
C
Let
me
ask
a
question
a
different
way.
Okay,
the
economy
is
in
question.
Some
of
you
may
have
noticed
that
two
of
the
biggest
banks
that
are
responsible
for
funding
the
growth
of
Silicon
Valley
no
longer
exist.
Jamie
Diamond
is
not
going
to
give
loans.
The
way
Republic
Bank
did.
Okay,
Google
has
laid
off
people,
Facebook
has
laid
off
people.
There's
the
jobs
in
the
area
are
dropping
so
the
currency
that
was
the
basis
for
the
north
base.
Your
precise
plan
was
office.
C
That's
that
was
the
that's.
That's
the
that's
the
return
ultimately
on
the
investment.
Okay.
That
return
right
now
is
not
what
it
was
when
the
when
the
met
the
precise
plan
was
put
in
place,
it
was
not
it's
not
what
it
was
when
the
the
original
master
plan
was
proposed,
we're
seeing
reductions
in
population
in.
C
I
was
in
a
meeting
about
a
month
ago,
where
a
market
rate
housing
developer
said
they
weren't
able
to
secure.
They
haven't
been
able
to
secure
funding
for
a
market
rate
project
in
two
years.
So
I
am
it
feels
like
this.
The
timing
may
be
bad,
and
my
question
is
if
we
were
to
recommend
to
council
to
postpone
this
a
little
bit
until
more
certainty
around
the
big
ripples
through
the
economy
that
kovid
caused
were
better
understood
so
that
we
actually
could
approach
this
better.
C
R
H
You
look
different
in
person,
so
there's
been
some
mention
of
shifting
economic
conditions
and
Landscapes
and
so
forth.
I
guess
I'm
just
kind
of
curious.
You
know
since
I
think
my
colleague
here
mentioned.
You
know,
for
example,
two
of
the
leading
banks
in
Silicon
Valley
right
no
longer
existing
I
think
and
also
mentioned
layoffs
right
Google
had
reduction
in
force
Facebook.
H
H
J
J
That
was
a
global
event
that
probably
none
of
us
could
have
forecast
that
set
off
a
chain
of
events
that
I
think
are
beyond
anything
we're
experiencing
locally
I.
Think
there's
a
few
structural
shifts
that
we're
seeing
and
that
we're
as
we're
returning
to
work
right,
San,
Francisco
and
the
Bay
Area
are,
unlike
other
metropolitan
areas
in
terms
of
show
up
rates.
New
York
is
full.
Atlanta
is
full
Chicago's
full
downtown,
San,
Francisco,
struggling
I,
think
the
the
peninsula
and
the
valley
are
doing
a
bit
better
but
you're.
J
Seeing
to
your
point,
Vice
chair
office
values
are
declining
significantly
and
we
don't
know
I,
don't
have
a
crystal
ball
as
to
when
those
come
back,
but
I
think
we
all
have
been
through
recessions
before
and
downturns
in
the
economy,
and
you
know
it's
hard
to
predict
what
will
come
next,
but
I,
don't
think
it's
any
one
company
or
any
specific
region.
That's
driving
the
overall
macroeconomic
uncertainty
that
we're
all
experiencing.
H
H
The
markets
can
be
very
psychological,
good
news,
One
Direction,
bad
news,
One
Direction
can
definitely
shift
a
lot
of
this
right,
so
I'm
not
necessarily
trying
to
get
your
sense
or
view
with
regards
to
a
Quantified
crystal
ball,
necessarily,
but
almost
more
like
a
qualitative
macro
view
of
you
know
what
the
tech
sector's
role
is
within
the
broader
economic
landscape.
As
one
of
the
leading
sectors
right,
you
could
probably
put
Finance
up
there.
Real
estate,
Etc
Healthcare
I
am
curious
as
well.
H
Yesterday
morning
you
cited
San
Francisco
right
and
I
I've
been
hearing
about
a
lot
of
the
vacancy
rates
too
A
lot
of
the
conversions
that
are
being
sought
after
in
New
York
City,
for
example,
but
I
noticed
that
you
are
citing
cities,
far
larger
than
Mountain
View
right
and
so
I
guess
I'm
very
much
wondering
what
are
the
parallels,
and
why
do
you
feel
that
a
reference
point
of
you
know
commercial,
real
estate,
Trends
in
cities?
10X?
H
You
know
15x
20x
times
the
size
of
Mountain
View,
whereas
Mountain
View
still
carries
the
same
roughly
even
like
rental
costs.
As
some
of
these
cities
I'm
just
kind
of
curious.
Where
and
how
you
again
not
from
a
quantitative
crystal
ball,
you
can
tell
the
future
of
sense,
but
more
just
like
a
qualitative
sense.
I'm.
You
know
almost
like
trying
to
get
like
just
a
candid
response.
H
You
know
from
how
you
feel
you
know
where's
the
parallel
here
between
the
trends
that
are
happening
in
these
large
cities
with
their
commercial,
real
estate
footprint
and
why
that
is
indicative
of
what
is
also
Happening
Here
in
the
city
of
Mountain
View
or
could
be
happening
within
the
you
know:
10
20.
Definitely
the
30
years
of
the
development
agreement
that
you
guys
are
seeking.
J
J
Vacancy
rates
are
going
to
differ,
rental
rates
are
going
to
different
sub-market
to
sub-market,
I
would
say:
San
Francisco
is
in
the
headlines
because
it's
it's
suffering
some
of
the
highest
right,
and
so
it's
you
know
it's
an
easy
example
to
look
at,
but
you
know
you're,
seeing
20
to
percent
20
to
30
vacancies
in
the
valley
and
then
in
Mountain
View.
We
have
an
excessive
space.
I
mean
the
headlines.
You
can
read
them
about
other
companies
that
are
shedding
space.
J
So
again,
it's
a
period
of
assessment
for
us
and
taking
a
look
at
the
real
estate
that
we
have
and
making
Investments
prudent
Investments,
and
you
know,
as
as
it
relates
to
the
future
of
office,
a
lot
of
the
work
we've
been
doing
over
the
past
six
months
to
the
question
that
was
asked
earlier.
Why
do
this?
We
have
a
housing
commitment.
We
we
committed
back
in
2018
to
enable
fifteen
thousand
residential
units
on
our
land.
L
This
da
is
designed
to
weather
those
storms
and
give
the
certainty
to
the
community
that
it
needs
and
that's
what
we've
negotiated
as
part
of
this
D.A,
which
says
it's
not
easy
to
deliver
7
000
units
in
four
years.
You
know
which
is
kind
of
that
typical
timeline
for
one
permit.
We
expect
this
to
be
over
time
and
we
expect
it
to
be
iterative
depending
on
the
Cycles,
but
what
we
do
want
are
a
below
market
rate
units
for
our
housing
element.
L
Those
are
critical,
and
so
we've
negotiated
delivery
of
that
we
want
the
ecogem.
That
was
a
very,
very
strong
component,
that
the
community
wanted.
That's
been
negotiated
early
delivery
and
then
it's
it's
with
the
first
building
permit
by
2030
and
at
the
very
latest
within
15
years.
So
we've
got
even
earlier
delivery
time
frames
and
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that's
exactly
what
this
package
is
intended
to
do,
whether
those
economic
storms
and
allow
the
the
delivery
of
of
about
two-thirds
of
a
very,
very
large
area.
It's
over
150
acres.
E
J
R
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
just
wanted
to
make
a
quick
clarification.
When
I
responded
to
commissioner
nunez's
question
about
Park
fees,
I
thought
we
were
just
talking
about
a
potential
reduction
in
the
park
fees
and
so
and
that's
what
I
was
responding
to
when
I
said
they
would
pay
the
fees
that
are
in
place.
H
H
L
H
H
R
R
So
you
know
other,
like
new
office
bonus
fa,
our
office
would
be
subject
to
new
or
increased
impact
fees.
However,
the
developer
would
have
a
credit
in
the
amount
of
18.5
million
dollars,
which
is
the
value
of
the
public
benefits
that
would
be
drawn
down
before
they
would
have
to
actually
pay
additional
impact
fees,
cool.
H
So
then,
let's
just
presuppose
that
the
city
of
Mountain
View
has
conveniently
committed
to
reducing
it's
Park
fees
20
because
of
a
housing
element
that
was
submitted
as
part
of
the
sixth
cycle.
Then,
once
that
reduction
occurred,
we
would
be
basically
getting
that
new.
Those
in
Luffy's
would
be
coming
in
at
that
new
convenient
rate,
a
reduction.
R
L
Commissioner,
if
I
may
confirm,
we
based
this,
it's
very
typical
in
DA's
to
include
this.
What
we
have
negotiated
are
increases
for
the
office
after
a
period
of
feloc,
and
this
is
has
the
same
principles
as
the
Middlefield
Park
D.A.
In
that
case
it
was
a
20-year
da
and
it
had
an
eight
year
in
a
12
year
and
this
one's
a
30-year
d8
with
15
and
15..
A
A
L
Question:
that's
another
great
question.
You
know
I
think
when
you've
got
a
master
plan,
this
size
it's
hard
to
think
of
every
single
possibility,
but
we
did
ask
ourselves
that
question
well
what
if
only
office
were
built,
they
would
not
be
able
to
achieve
the
35
single
occupancy
vehicle
rate.
You
know
they
need
a
residential
as
part
of
the
mix.
So
that's
why
I
said
this
precise
plan
has
thought
in
a
very
comprehensive
way
about
what
it
takes
to
build.
L
This
complete,
active,
Transportation,
Community,
that's
connected
with
active
transportation
and
it's
put
into
place
a
very,
very
high
barrier
and
expectations
for
development.
So
conventional
development
could
never
succeed
here.
They
have.
They
need
very,
very
high.
Transportation
demand
management
rates
for
office.
They
need
to
build
residential
in
order
to
get
to
that
35
single
occupancy
vehicle
rate
that
we're
expecting
and
those
are
the
things
that
will
make
sure
that
that
office
is
not
going
to
be.
L
A
L
A
Okay
appreciate
the
answer.
Thank
you
very
much.
Oh
sorry,
now,
I
think
I,
don't
see
any
more
questions
from
the
commission
we'll
go
to
public
comment.

A
U
That
caught
me
off
guard.
Thank
you,
chair
yin,
and
the
rest
of
the
commission.
I'm
Cliff
Chambers
I'm,
representing
the
Mountain
View
Coalition
for
sustainable
planning
tonight,
and
we've
been
involved
with
this
process
for
a
very
long
time,
Google's
been
extremely
transparent,
has
met
with
us
a
number
of
times.
We've
asked
questions.
U
It
was
in
the
precise
plan,
the
jobs,
housing
and
balance
has
been
severe
and
there
really
has
been
a
commitment
back
to
the
days
of
John
I
go
with
Google
of
really
building
housing
in
North
Bayshore.
They
want
to
that.
You
have
employees
commuting
from
Manteca
Etc.
Nobody
wants
that
and
I
think
you
know
to
live
and
work
in
the
same
area
is:
is
a
real
bonus
and
we'd
really
like
to
to
see
that
I
I
would
just
like
to
point
to
the
affordable
housing
and
lack
of
inclusionary?
U
The
five
percent
is
disappointing,
but
I
want
to
do
point
out
that
50
percent
of
the
affordable
housing
for
the
land
dedication
will
be
in
phase
one.
That's
really
important.
That's
500,
affordable
housing
units
plus
Middlefield
Park
is
a
lot
of
affordable,
housing
and
I.
Think
we
really
would
like
to
see
that
go
forward,
and
hopefully
it
will
be
in
in
a
reasonable
period
of
of
time.
U
U
The
shuttles
are
required
as
part
of
it
in
a
TDM
element,
but
the
the
shuttles
I
mean
the
commuter
shuttles
are
not
a
required
element
and
I
think
that
really
should
be
addressed
in
a
condition
of
of
development
approval,
if
that's
possible
in
closing
I,
really
again
expressed
strong
support
for
the
master
plan
and
applaud
Google
for
all
the
public
outreaches
that
it's
done
over
a
very
long
period
of
time.
Thank
you.

Working
as
an
apprentice,
I
make
a
living
wage
and
have
good
health
benefits
for
not
only
myself,
but
my
children
also
I
push
for
more
than
just
a
dead-end
job,
and
this
is
a
career
one
that
I'm
proud
of
myself
for
I
hope
to
pass
it
on
to
my
son,
if
he
so
chooses.
Projects
like
these
keep
people
like
me
working
and
housed
and
keep
work
local
to
me,
so
I
can
spend
more
time
with
my
family.
Thank
you.
O
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name-
is
Juan
Venegas
and
I'm.
A
field
representative
for
the
NorCal
Carpenters
Union
here
in
Santa
Clara
County
I,
represent
5500
members
in
this
County
I
am
here
in
support
of
the
north
bay
shore
master
plan.
This
is
something
that
can
provide
employment
for
many
citizens
of
the
community.
During
and
after
construction,
thousands
of
jobs
will
be
provided
throughout
the
lifetime
of
this
project.
Apprenticeship
hours
and
training
will
be
fulfilled,
retirement
and
health
care
benefits
will
be
obtained.
O
Thanks
to
this,
build
members
of
the
community
will
be
able
to
work
closer
to
home,
which
will
improve
their
quality
of
life.
Small
businesses
will
Thrive
because
of
this
plan.
It
will
help
with
the
housing
crisis
Happening
Here
in
California
the
bay
area
needs
more
affordable
housing,
and
this
is
part
of
the
solution.
This
master
plan
will
continue
to
move
Mountain
View
in
the
right
direction.
Thank
you
all.
For
your
time.
W
Good
evening,
commissioner
Yi
and
fellow
Commissioners
and
staff
I
want
to
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
this
evening.
I'm
the
senior
field
representative
for
the
NorCal
Carpenters
Union
here
in
Santa,
Clara,
County
and
I'm
on
behalf
of
the
5500
Members
Plus
here
in
Santa,
Clara
County
I,
ask
that
you
move
forward
the
resolution
before
you
tonight
on
the
master
plan.
This
master
plan
is
going
to
provide
an
opportunity
for
what
thousands
of
Carpenters
across
30
years
I
mean.
W
Google
has
basically
proposed
a
plan
that,
in
collaboration
with
City
staff,
I
mean
I,
think
holds
up
to
what
Mountain
View
and
the
residents
of
Mountain
View
would
like
to
see.
As
far
as
the
jobs
that's
going
to
create
for
women
minorities
and
at-risk
Youth,
you
know
sky's
the
limit.
You
know
as
myself
as
a
25-year
member
of
the
Carpenters
myself
this
organization
and
having
jobs
available
to
me
have
helped
me
have
a
life
where
I
can
raise.
My
kids
take
care
of
their
health
and
living
dignity.
So
I
asked
it.
X
Schools
good
evening,
honorable
Commissioners
and
staff
members
as
development
continues
across
the
city.
The
district
has
to
prepare
to
house
an
influx
of
students,
we're
expecting
more
than
1400
students
to
come
from
this
development
alone,
but
in
total
3926
students.
To
put
this
in
perspective,
we
currently
have
4
800
students
who
wrote
in
our
district.
We
routinely
acknowledge
that
the
predicted
numbers
ebb
and
flow
as
developers
work
to
pencil
out
their
projects.
X
What
we
are
grateful
for
the
continued
reference
of
Four
Acre
Site,
there's,
yet
to
be
a
clear
guarantee
that
that
site
will
be
dedicated
either
to
mvwst
or
mvla,
or
that
it
will
start
off
as
Parkland
and
may
be
developed
at
a
later
date.
But
I
don't
want
to
debate
the
numbers
I
think
our
developers
are
more
than
capable
of
lobbying
against
our
future
needs
and
suggesting
that
the
future
Community
will
only
house
young
single
workers.
X
Their
argument,
coupled
with
us
finally
receiving
responses
on
the
eir
today
in
a
quest
to
meet
last
Friday
from
developers,
suggests
that
schools
are
an
afterthought
to
this
complete
Community,
as
evidenced
by
the
developers,
focus
on
meeting
with
City
staff
as
opposed
to
staff
members
from
both
school
districts.
In
fact,
our
last
meeting
with
the
developers
was
three
years
ago,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
think
about
what
parents
are
thinking
about
right
now.
X
Unlike
corporations,
they
do
not
have
the
ability
to
Simply
up
and
leave
as
a
resident
of
Whitman
station,
which
is
impacted
by
another
development
from
Google
I
want
my
kids
to
attend
Vargas
next
year,
not
that
my
kids
only
have
a
seven
year
window
to
attend
school
within
walking
distance.
We
need
your
help
to
ensure
the
developer
views
their
responsibility
to
our
kids,
who
in
20
years,
will
be
the
targeted
Workforce
that
they
are
planning
to
build
for.
To
be
clear,
we
applied
their
commitment
to
help
the
city
achieve
their
goals.
X
Y
So
especially,
we
focused
on
the
more
sensitive
species,
the
Egret
Mercury,
which
is
such
a
special
place,
the
Stevens
Creek,
the
retention
Basin
and
especially
Shoreline
Park,
and
the
bowering
owls,
which
are
sadly
almost
extirprated
from
our
district
area.
Only
there
because
of
a
lot
of
investment
by
Mountain,
View
and
other
agencies.
Y
Google
has
done
its
spectacular
job
and
when
I
say
spectacular,
if
you
go
there,
you'll
see
it
of
integrating
nature
and
habitat
into
their
campus
and
protecting
the
egrets
and
so
right
now
the
egrets
are
nesting,
encourage
all
of
you
to
go
and
look
and
see
it's
absolutely
fantastic,
and
if
you
need
a
special,
if
you
want
to
join
us,
we
have
Egret
office
hours
over
there
in
the
next
few
weeks,
led
by
Audubon
volunteers
and
you're
very
welcome
to
join
us.
So.
Y
It
is
very
important
that
those
features
of
North
North,
Bay
Shore
remain,
and
the
plan
includes
the
Eco
Gem
and
the
shorebird
Wilds,
where
the
egrets
are,
and
we
hope
to
see
and
continue
to
work
with
you
and
with
Google
to
ensure
that
the
implementation
of
the
of
the
plan
restores
the
ecogen
protects
the
air
to
protect
the
boring,
owls
and
enhances
the
biological
integrity
and
the
biodiversity
of
North
Bay
Shore
and
Shoreline
Park.
Thank
you
so
much.
B
Z
Z
I
I,
really
can't
emphasize
how
great
it
is
to
be
here
seeing
this
moving
forward
that
it
really
needs
to
move
forward
in
2017,
Silicon
Valley
at
home
LED,
a
diverse
Coalition
of
hausers
in
support
of
a
housing,
Rich
North,
Bay,
Shore,
precise
plan,
and
we
all
succeeded,
was
about
my
third
month
on
the
job
and
it
was
very
exciting.
I
had
no
idea
that
didn't
happen
every
month.
It
can
be
easy
to
forget
to
lose
track
of
how
Monumental
this
was
at
the
time.
Z
The
leadership
that
the
city
displayed
in
partnership
with
Google
and
strong
Community
engagement
and
advocacy
was
really
essential
and
and
essentially
something
that
that
we
hadn't
seen
in
the
region
before
that.
What
do
complete
neighborhoods
look
like
what
does
it
mean
to
bring
housing
and
jobs
together
to
think
about
economic
diversity,
use
diversity,
Park,
schools,
environmental
sustainability?
Z
At
the
time
the
city
of
Mountain
View
approved
a
plan
that
called
for
9850
new
homes,
of
which
20
percent
would
be
affordable,
15
through
the
existing
inclusionary
BMR
program
and
an
additional
five
percent
as
a
part
of
the
community
benefits
agreement,
coordinating
moving
pieces,
new
councils,
multiple
landowners,
Global
pandemics,
major
structural
changes
in
the
economy
and
I
appreciate
the
level
of
detail
of
the
discussion
this
evening.
The
work
of
getting
the
master
plans
and
shovels
in
the
ground
is
never
easy,
and
in
the
current
environment
it
is
extraordinarily
challenging
things
move
and
change.
Z
What
makes
the
difference
is
commitment,
dedication,
leaning
in
what
can
we
do?
Let's
get
to?
Yes,
let's
meet
our
commitments.
Let's
make
the
residential
go,
let's
front
load
the
affordable,
so
we're
responsive
to
the
magnitude
of
the
lack
and
the
need
in
Mountain,
View
and
throughout
the
region.
The
work
here
is
detailed.
It's
deliberate
shows
a
dogged
commitment
to
outcomes.
This
process
isn't
over
many
public
interests.
We
can
see
slight
shifts
at
every
stage,
but
we
SV
at
home
runs
strong
support
of
moving
forward.
Getting
plans
on
paper
is
hard.
Z
M
M
We
were
very
disappointed
to
see
that
from
the
the
initial
proposal
of
20,
affordable
housing
with
one
quarter
of
that
being
built
as
inclusionary
housing,
but
the
affordable
housing
coming
online
at
the
same
time
has
now
been
reduced
to
15
percent.
Well,
I
understand
you
know
the
economic
constraints
here.
M
I
think
we
need
to
be
able
to
look
to
the
Future
that
we
need
a
livable
Mountain
View
in
which
Google
can
flourish,
and
so
I
would
encourage
the
commission
and
also
Google
to
to
think
again
about
this
reduction
in
the
affordable
housing
right
down
to
the
bear
amount
required
by
the
master
plan
and
I
also
caution
against
thinking
that.
Well,
we
can
build.
You
know
if
we
build
the
units
smaller,
then
we'll
have
more
of
them
and
be
able
to
meet
our
our
goals.
M
But
but
these
smaller
units
are
not
going
to
serve
our
families
and
we
need
families.
You
know
to
allow
Mountain
View
to
continue
to
flourish,
so
I
asked
Google
to
to
look
again
at
what
they're
proposing
here
and
if
for
no
other
reason
than
just
out
of
generosity,
to
to
increase
the
amount
of
affordable
housing
that
they
are
providing.
Thank
you.
AA
Hi,
thank
you
chair
and
Commissioners.
This
is
Bruce
England
on
wisman
Station
Drive
I'd
like
to
speak
briefly
for
two
Community
groups,
and
also
for
myself
for
Mountain
View
Coalition
for
sustainable
planning
Echo.
What
Cliff
said
in
his
comments
and
also
and
I
know
that
he'd
agree
with
me
that
we
want
to
thank
the
Google
Staff,
who
we've
worked
with
over
the
years,
including
at
this
stage,
and
also
including
people
on
Google
and
lindley's
staff,
who
are
no
longer
on
the
team.
AA
We
appreciate
all
that
work
and
also
on
City
staff
working
on
the
projects.
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
to
Cliff's
comments
for
green
spaces,
Mountain
View,
we're
generally
happy
with
the
biodiversity
work,
that's
being
done
in
the
North
Bay
Shore
area
and
the
communications
that
we've
heard
and
the
various
discussions
we've
had
around
biodiversity
tree
canopy,
Landscaping,
pollinator
friendly
strategy
and
so
on.
One
detail
that
we
would
really
like
to
see
nailed
down
in
the
documentation
for
the
projects
is
lighting.
It
is
in
there,
but
it
doesn't
mention
dark
sky
policy.
AA
We
feel
very
strongly
in
part
because
the
city
is
heading
in
that
direction.
Establishing
dark
sky
policy
that
Google
as
the
forward-thinking
organization,
can
help
to
Lead
the
Way
by
starting
dark
sky
policy
in
their
projects,
rather
than
wait
for
what
the
city
does.
Even
if
that's
going
to
happen
in
the
short
run,
hopefully
it's
going
to
be
in
the
short
run
and,
lastly,
speaking
for
myself,
I
just
want
to
voice
support
for
the
the
unions
in
the
area,
including
the
Carpenters.
My
own
grandfather
was
a
Carpenters
Union
member
in
the
local
area.
AA
T
T
The
land
dedication
gives
more
freedom
to
build,
affordable
housing
at
lower,
affordable
to
lower
income
levels,
and
that
is
the
most
difficult
to
type
of
unit
to
get
built
and
having
that
land
dedicated
makes
lower
income
levels,
a
possibility,
then
hopefully
non-profits
will
rise
to
take
advantage
of,
and
and
finally,
if
there
is
any
opportunity
in
the
last
days
or
weeks
of
negotiating
this
agreement,
an
alternate
way
to
sweeten
the
housing
deal.
A
little
bit
would
be
to
increase
the
land
dedication
by
a
point
or
two.
T
E
Are
up?
Thank
you
very
much.
Edie.
That's
a
great
idea!
I
like
that
idea.
Thank
you
for
calling
and
suggesting
that
look
we're
at
a
Crossroads
here.
This
system
of
checks
and
balances
sometimes
is
to
our
benefit
in
terms
of
the
city,
and
sometimes
it's
not
in
this
case.
You've
got
two
competing
interests:
the
needs
of
the
city
in
terms
of
trying
to
meet
our
housing
needs
and
those
of
Google
in
terms
of
their
economic
situation.
E
E
Then
you
see
the
situations
that
we
have
here,
where
certain
people
from
certain
backgrounds
decide
to
talk
about
a
recession,
and
these
people
are
not
you
and
me,
or
the
federal
government.
I
have
yet
to
hear
President
Biden
say
we
are
in
a
recession.
I've
heard
Elon
Musk
say
that
I've
heard
Bezos
said
that
and
I've
heard
people
like
them
say
that
not
my
fellow
brothers
and
sisters
from
the
Carpenters
right,
my
dad's,
a
union
guy,
he
retired
he
still
Pays
His
dues
from
this
group
from
your
union.
E
And
so,
when
I
look
at
the
situation
that
we
find
ourselves
in
I
think
that
we
can
both
do
better,
especially
Google
I
love.
To
tell
this
story,
it's
going
to
be
quick.
I
was
at
Stanford
University
when
I
had
just
graduated
from
Santa
Clara
I
was
trying
to
figure
things
out
I'm
there,
and
this
this
guy
shows
up
and
he's
like.
Hey
I
was
at
the
registrar's
office
and
he's
like
hey
I've
got
18
people
with
me,
18
students,
and
we
want
to
talk
to
Roger,
printer
and
Roger.
E
Prince
was
a
registrar
at
that
time
and
I'm
like
okay
sure.
What
do
you
want
to
talk
to
him
about?
Well,
we
want
to
talk
about
trying
to
do
a
leave
of
absence
or
something
where
we
can
take
a
time
off
and
then
try
and
do
this
business
venture
and
if
it
doesn't
go
well,
we're
going
to
come
back
great
well.
Give
me
a
minute:
I
go
to
the
registrar's
office
I'm
like
hey
Roger,
there's
like
18
28
students
here
to
see
you
and
he's
like.
Well,
what
did
I
do
he
didn't
do
anything?
E
They
just
need
your
help.
They
need
your
guidance
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
escorted
them
over
to
Roger's
office.
They
spoke
at
link
for
about
half
an
hour.
45
minutes
they
come
back
out.
They
stopped
by
where
I
was
at
and
said.
Thank
you
very
much
for
helping
us.
This
was
really
appreciative
and
I
asked
them.
Well,
what
are
your
plans
and
they
said?
Well,
we
want
to
open
up
a
company,
it's
going
to
be
a
tech
company
and
it's
going
to
be
awesome.
E
N
E
E
Think
that's
why
they're
called
alphabet
now,
because
that
mindset
of
growth
and
I'm
trying
to
do
better
I,
don't
see
that
with
this
I
really
don't
and
when
you
look
at
it
from
that
perspective,
and
you
understand
the
community
issues
at
play
here,
there's
so
many
vested
interests
in
terms
of
Community
Development,
affordable
housing.
You
look
at
the
issue
of
the
five
percent
being
rescinded.
E
Someone
talked
about
economic
diversity.
Well,
you
don't
have
that
with
that
five
percent
being
rescinded,
you
have
an
area,
that's
isolated,
and
that
looks
and
feels
a
certain
way.
Not
welcoming
is
what
it
tells
me
in
terms
of
social
economic
diversity.
That's
number
one
number
two
strong
and
sustained
Vision.
Someone
else
had
taught
talked
about
that
point.
Well,
when
you
have
that
type
of
perspective,
you
also
have
to
factor
in
the
different
plays
that
are
in
need.
E
In
terms
of
the
4.1
acre
that
might
be
designated
to
the
school
site,
the
parcel
is
small
for
the
size
of
a
typical
Elementary
School
in
Mountain
View
of
about
500
students.
State
law
will
now
require
that
school
districts
also
provide
preschool
programs.
The
district's
experience
with
Vargas
Elementary
School
confirms
that
four
acres
is
inadequate,
end
of
quote
so,
when
we
try
and
factor
in
all
these
different
needs
from
the
community.
This
is
our
opportunity
to
be
able
to
go
outside
the
box
and
try
and
meet
those
needs
of
the
community.
Google
needs
us
like.
E
So
if
we're
going
to
do
this
one-time
partnership
agreement
to
expand
the
acreage,
that
would
make
the
most
sense,
because
that
would
be
Equity
at
least
to
whatever
is
going
to
be
brought
in
immediately.
And
then
that
gives
time
for
the
school
district
and
the
state
to
try
and
figure
something
else
out,
because
we
know
that
you're
out
of
that
conversation.
H
You
know,
through
its
meteoric
rise
through,
you
know,
headwinds
that
we've
gone
through
together.
You
know,
I
can
definitely
say
that
I
see
a
lot
of
benefits
to
Google's
presence
in
the
community,
but
I
think
that
it's
also
clearly
undeniable
that
you
know
the
externalities
of
having
a
you
know.
Large.
H
You
know
extremely
influential
organization
based
in
a
city
like
Mountain
View,
with
the
amount
of
highly
paid
talent
that
comes
along
with
that
again
it
very
enviable
position
right.
A
lot
of
cities
would
definitely
call
that
a
blessing
but
I
think
where
my
colleague
and
I
think,
where
you
know
several
other
commenters.
You
know
who
submitted
letters.
You
know
cafesito
very
well
established
Hispanic
community
group
here
in
Mountain
View,
the
Los
Altos
Community
Foundation.
H
You
know
doing
a
lot
of
extraordinary
work
and
funding
a
lot
of
initiatives
that
ameliorate
some
of
those
economic
externalities
when
it
comes
to
people
being
priced
out,
and
you
know
finding
it
harder
and
harder
to
keep
up.
You
know
the
legal
Women
Voters
again,
another
very
well
established
group
sending
a
commentary.
You
know
around
this
loss
of
that
five
percent
inclusionary
I
kind
of
want
to
touch
on
on
on
value
when
it
comes
to
what
that
means.
H
There's
you
know
quantitative
value
in
terms
of
dollar
amount
and
then
there's
also
qualitative
value
right.
I,
I
think
one
of
the
key
considerations
that
certainly
the
city
of
Mountain
View
has
been
looking
at
when
it
comes
to.
You
know
previous
Council
setting
sessions
with
regards
to
inclusion,
diversity
being
a
community
for
all.
H
H
A
little
tourist
might
sound
unbelievable,
but
I
can
tell
you
this.
You
know
being
a
a
person
of
Hispanic
background
working
deeply
and
for
a
long
time
with
members
of
our
community.
What
that
looks
like
to
us
from
A
diversity.
Racial
diversity
perspective,
if
not
a
economic
and
class
kind
of
perspective.
H
It's
putting
people
of
a
lower
economic
status
or
race
somewhere
else,
instead
of
really
going
for
that
inclusionary
value
right.
So
from
that
perspective,
in
terms
of
a
value,
I
I
feel
very
disappointed
by
this
updated
proposal,
but
there's
also
a
qualitative,
a
quantitative
value
right,
so
I
definitely
took
some
Liberties
at
looking
at
that.
H
With
regards
to
the
December
21st,
you
know
public
benefits
package
which
I
want
to
be
also
clear
for
hopefully
for
the
benefit
of
my
colleagues
or
anyone
watching
and
staff.
Totally
pleased
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
here,
the
table.
Six
in
the
staff
report
says
that
the
public
benefit
public
benefit
package,
comparison
right
that
that's
a
public
benefit.
That
is
not
what
necessarily
I'll
take
a
step
back.
H
That
public
benefit
package
is
basically
something
that
is
being
negotiated
in
exchange
for
without
getting
too
far
deep
into
any
kind
of
like
specific
prescriptive
provisions
of
the
development
agreement.
That's
not
where
I'm
headed,
but
with
regards
to
you,
know
the
city
and
City
council's
discretion.
The
public
benefit
package
is
something
that
is
being
negotiated
in
exchange
for
the
30-year
development
agreement,
which
is
a
totally
discretionary
part
of
this
equation.
H
H
H
Thank
you
very
much,
and
so,
when
I'm,
looking
at
the
situation
and
I'm,
seeing
and
I'm
very
much
grateful
for
how
much
City
staff
works
on
this
they're,
so
diligent
right,
I
mean
it's.
It's
not
easy.
Negotiating
sitting
across
the
negotiating
table
with
you
know
top
two
top
three
top
five
company
in
the
world
right.
This
is
I
I,
do
not
envy
the
amount
of
work
that
you
guys
have
to
actually
put
into
this.
H
H
H
You
know
five
percent
inclusionary
with
a
dollar
value
of
around
43
million
the
potential
you
know:
reduction
of
22
million
dollars
from
the
Park
and
Luffy's
that
we've
already
committed
to
reducing.
That
is
a
77
reduction
in
the
total
value.
Total
dollar
value
of
the
public
benefit
package
from
December
2021
to
today
and
I
am
having
a
very
difficult
time
squaring
that
up
and
justifying
that
when
Google
as
to
my
understanding
per
financial
statements,
has
roughly
115
billion
dollars
cash
on
hand,
not
talking
market
cap,
but
not
cash
on
hand.
H
Oh,
the
reason
why
I'm
bringing
that
up
is
because
I'm
quite
certain
that
us
the
EPC,
both
as
a
conduit
of
Community
input
and
I,
very
much
appreciate
where
our
friends
from
the
labor
unions
are
coming
from
I
assure
you
that
I
think
at
least
me
personally
as
a
commissioner
as
a
resident
of
Mountain
View.
It
is
extremely
critical
for
me
to
see
this
project
move
forward
and
to
have
all
the
benefits
and
jobs
that
come
with
that.
H
H
We
have
an
ability
to
say:
hey,
we
are
or
are
not,
okay
with
this
reduction
in
value,
it
would
be
good
to
make
and
a
recommendation
that
we
do
move
forward
with
the
staff
recommendation
with
a
Proviso
suggestion,
recommendation
modification,
whatever
synonym
Under
the
Sun,
we
can
kind
of
find
in
there
to
you
know
fit
under
our
legal
councils
kind
of
like
best
practice,
thinking
that
we
also
ask
staff
to
go
back
to
the
negotiating
table
to
claw
back
some
of
that.
77
percent
reduction
in
public
benefit
value
that
we
are
losing.
H
Whether
that
is
a
you
know,
I
think
we've
spoken
to
affordable
housing
developers.
Sometimes
they
go
to
the
bank.
Sometimes
there's
no
money.
There
sometimes
ask
a
private
developer
for
a
loan,
and
the
private
developer
will
do
it.
Maybe
we
get
a
62
million
dollar
rotating
line
of
credit
with
interest,
so
it's
not
a
handout
committed
from
Google
so
that
we
can
actually
develop
that
15
land.
Maybe
we
get
2.5
percent
inclusionary
and
cash
exchange.
H
A
C
So
I
find
your
math
interesting
I
just
married
in
that
I.
Don't
expect
working
low
fees
to
go
to
zero,
but
certainly
they're
likely
to
come
down.
I
am
this
is
actually
the
second
time
we've
seen
an
analysis
from
cephal
and
I.
Don't
think
this
is
a
problem
with
seafood.
I
think
this
is
a
problem
with
the
contract,
we're
providing
deceitful,
in
my
view,
simply
coming
back
and
saying
that
the
dirt
would
allow
this
amount
of
housing
is
actually
not
a
complete
analysis
of
the
situation.
C
C
B
C
C
One
of
the
questions
came
up
was
the
inclusion
of
stackers
into
the
simple
inclusion
of
stackers
in
the
parking
space
would
have
made
the
project
financially
infeasible
of
the
five
sites.
Only
one
is
above
ground
and
no
stackers.
Two
of
them
are
below
grade
parking
and
stackers,
not
just
a
buried
site,
but
a
site
with
stackers.
C
Yes,
you
can
say
here's
a
piece
of
dirt
that
I
could
squeeze
this
on,
but
I
don't
believe
that
it
could
ever
be
funded
at
the
levels
that
are
in
here,
and
so,
if,
if
the
number
says
this
is
how
many
we're
going
to
get
it
has
to
include
an
assessment
of
whether
or
not
that's
actually,
financially
feasible,
and
so
to
me,
this
is
a
request
for
staff
going
forward.
When
we
see
these
kind
of
things
we
have
to
do.
That
kind
of
analysis
to
say:
can
you
know?
C
Is
this
realistically
Finance
something
that
can
be
financed
because
I
look
at
this
and
say
this
yeah?
You
could
force
it
under
that
space
But.
We
couldn't
get
there
with
with
the
way
that
this
has
been
the
way
this
is
laid
out
right
now
and
so
I
I
don't
find
the
ability
to
achieve
the
the
1050
units
over
the
over.
Even
the
30-year
Horizon
is
credible
at
this.
U
C
The
the
assumptions
it
something
less
will
be
possible.
Okay,
if
you
take
out
the
need
for
an
underground
parking
garage,
you
take
out
the
need
for
the
stackers
I
mean,
certainly
not
below
marketweight.
Housing
doesn't
have
a
minimum
parking
requirement,
but
if
the
assumption
is
that
it's
going
to
have
underground
parking
that
says
it's,
you
got
to
dig
a
hole
and
those
are
those
aren't
cheap,
so
I'm,
I'm
I,
do
my
suggestion
on
whether
of
do
we
delay
is
the
the
economic
uncertainty
right
now.
C
Part
of
the
question,
in
my
mind,
was
well
if
there's
more
certainty
about
the
economy
and
organizations
like
Google
and
others
are
feeling
more
confident,
then
would
they
come
back
in
here
and
say
you
know
what
I
could
put
in
an
extra
40
or
50
million
dollars?
Okay,
okay,
right
now
we
don't
know
what
it's
going
to
look
like.
Is
there
any?
If
and
my
view
of
this
I,
don't
quite
frankly
expect
sorry,
Mr,
Anderson,
I
I,
look
at
this
and
say
we're
not.
C
C
Reaction
as
I
looked
at
this
is
with
this.
If
this
is
what
the
proposal
is,
we
need
to
take
out
everything
from
North
Bayshore
in
this
cycle.
That
was
my
reaction,
and
that
to
me
is
not
an
answer.
That
I
think
is
that
that
I
want
to
hear
where
the
city
wants
to
hear.
So,
if
it's,
if
bringing
in
I'm
intrigued
by
the
the
the
125
000
per
you,
know,.
G
N
C
C
L
G
You
know
the
the
we're
we're
protecting
and
enhancing
the
you
know
the
Ecology
of
the
area
and
and
allowing
residential
to
having
more
of
a
mixed-use
area
out
there,
with
residential,
connecting
everything
through
Greenways
and
and
also
allowing
some
additional
office
and
so
I.
You
know,
I
know
there
have
been
a
lot
of
twists
and
turns
along
the
way
and
and
both
with
the
way
that
the
the
master
plan
has
has
evolved
over
time
and
also
as
the
economic
environment
as
it
has
evolved
over
time
even
in
the
last
year.
G
But
I
think
what
we
have
before
us.
If,
if
we
you
know,
is
truly
one
of
the
I
think
probably
the
best
way
that
we
have
today
to
find
a
way
to
enable
the
vision
that
was
in
the
precise
plan
to
hopefully
come
to
fruition.
It
may,
and
if
not,
the
entire
Vision
at
least
certain
elements
of
it,
and
you
know,
we've
been
I,
know.
G
Staff
has
been
doing
the
the
dance
with
Google
for
for
a
long
time
and
especially
over
this
last
year,
trying
to
find
a
way
to
trying
to
find
ways
to
ensure
that
you
know
this
isn't
just
a
plan
that
sits
on
a
shelf.
They
have.
They
have
incentives
to
bring
some
of
these
things
to
fruition.
Originally,
you
know
we
all
thought
that
the
office
would
get
built.
First.
G
G
G
I
think
in
good
faith
to
to
find
ways
to
to
meet
that
I
think
that's
shifted
over
the
last
year,
as
we
maybe
a
year
ago,
started
hearing
that
you
know
the
school
districts
and
and
I
think
rightly
so,
wanted
a
plan
and
and
land
for
a
school.
Not
just
you
know
a
promise
of
something
or
or
maybe
someday
it'll
come
to
fruition,
and
so
what
we
have
now.
G
Yes,
we've
lost
the
inclusionary
piece,
which
was
five
percent
above
what
would
normally
be
required,
but
we've
gained
we've
gained
that
four
acre
parcel
which
we
didn't
have
before
and
I
understand.
Everyone
wants
everything
that
was
prom
or
offered
before
you
know
the
conclusionary
plus
the
Four
Acre
parcel
was
but
at
a
certain
point
it
doesn't
matter
how
much
cash
you
have
in
your
balance
sheet.
G
You
know
you
have
to
prioritize
how
you
spend
that
money
and
and
I
I
think
you
know
I
think
in
order
for
someone
to
make
a
decision
to
move
forward
with
this
plan
which
we
want,
we
want
folk.
We
want
them
to
do.
You
know
it's
part
of
our
our
housing
element,
and
you
know
we.
We
need
to
help
enable
this
to
happen.
G
You
know,
I,
think
I,
think
there
are
fair
trade-offs
here,
where
we're
we're
getting
a
community
benefit
value
of
of
of
of
43
million
instead
of
the
floor
of
42.
Yes,
things
have
shifted
around
and
yes,
I
would
certainly
you
know,
prefer
the
inclusionary
units,
but
I'd
also
really
like
that
that
Min
that
four
acre
parcel
so
that
we
have
a
complete
Community.
We
can
plan
for
plan
for
schools
there
and
we're
also
getting
the
land
dedication
to
be
able
to
do
significant,
affordable
housing
and
those
projects
will
be.
G
G
Isn't
perfect,
I
would
prefer
the
inclusionary
units
as
well,
but
I.
Think,
overall,
you
know
what's
before
us
tonight,
at
a
public
hearing
and
and
evaluating
whether
or
not
this
meets
the
intent
of
the
precise
plan,
whether
it's
compliant
with
the
precise
plan,
whether
council's
goals
in
in
meeting
you
know,
the
minimum
Community
benefit
values
that
they've
identified
and
the
goals
that
they've
identified
and
then
also
the
certify
and
the
eir,
and,
looking
at
the
over
the
statements
that
we're
writing
considerations
that
we
have
to
make
I.
D
I
I
really
would
like
to.
You
know,
hear
more
about
what
the
city
is
doing
with
the
school
district
and
make
sure
I
know
that's
not
out
in
our
purview
but
I.
Think
hearing
that
there
hadn't
been
a
conversation
in
three
years
right
like
between
the
school
district
and
the
applicant.
It
makes
me
question
right
like
if
Google
really
is
home,
I
want
to
see
more
of
an
effort
there
and
maybe
I,
don't
have
all
the
data,
but
I
I.
D
Think
that
given
given
the
reality
ahead
of
us,
I'd
like
to
see
this
move
forward
and
I'd
like
to
see
it
as
much
as
we
can
from
our
Vantage
Point
as
the
Planning
Commission,
and
make
sure
that
the
analysis
of
what
affordable
housing
can
be
built
where
we
have
more
discretion
and
on
on
land.
That's
dedicated
to
the
city
is,
is
where
we
should
focus
more
of
our
effort.
A
F
Z
N
AB
K
F
Like
a
quarter
of
our
city,
it's
the
whole
North
swath
of
our
city
is
going
to
be
pretty
darn
new
as
a
result
of
this
and
that's
a
big
deal,
and
that's
that's
really
exciting.
To
me,
I
mean
that
represents
the
continued
investment
by
Google
in
our
city,
and
you
know
for
all
of
the
externalities
that
come
with
that
I
mean
that
that
supports
a
large
chunk
of
the
city's
budget.
It's
part
of
what
you
know.
F
Google
success
drives
a
lot
of
the
success
of
the
city
and
a
lot
of
the
people
that
live
here
and
that
matters
and
I'm
glad
that
they
want
to
double
down
and
stay
here.
You
know
a
lot
of
other
cities,
I'm
sure
would
love
to
have
them
and
I
think
this
plan
represents
a
really
thoughtful
approach
to
a
lot
of
things
that
we
care
about
up
here,
about
good
Urban,
Design
about
being
really
really
thoughtful
about
how
we
work
with
and
integrate
with
our
environment.
W
F
C
F
Haven't
been
thinking
about
it
enough
lately,
because
we've
been
focused
on
some
problems
and
I'm,
not
you
know,
there
still
are
issues
that
need
to
be
addressed
and
I'm
sure
that
the
council
will
address
them.
I
am
disappointed
that
the
the
five
percent
that
was
voluntary
did
get
taken
back
disappointed.
It
got
taken
back,
but
it
was
voluntary
and
I.
Think
that's
important.
It's
important
to
remember
we're.
Not
we
can't
have
you
know
everything,
but
it
would
have
been
nice.
F
F
B
F
A
Oh
okay,
yeah
I'll
just
get
mine,
and
then
you
know
we'll
go
through
I
I
have
been
listening
to
everybody's
comments
and
I.
I
do
agree
that
this
has
been
a
long
process.
A
lot
of
work
has
gone
into
it
and
it's
been
a
a
very
it's
been
very
nice
to
hear
that
the
collaboration
between
the
community
and
Google
has
been
so
positive
all
this
time
throughout
the
whole
process.
So
that
is
extraordinary
and
the
vision
that
Google
has
that
the
city
has
I
am
all
on
board
for
that.
A
A
Also
in
reading
this
package
had
felt
that
the
city
was
coming
out
with
a
loss
and
I
didn't
have
numbers
like
commissioner
Nunes
had
brought
up,
but
I
I
felt
it
when
I
look
at
what
the
precise
plan
has
in
it,
and
the
proposal
that
last
came
before
us
there's
as
a
big
dip
in.
In
my
perspective,
the
affordable
housing
went
from
20
to
15
percent.
Ideally
in
these
cases
you
know
I'd
like
to
see
100
inclusion
there,
but
that
wasn't
the
case.
So
we
were
at
five
percent
inclusionaire,
which
was
voluntary.
A
Understandably,
however,
there's
a
loss
there.
We
are
getting
land
which
I
understand
the
benefits
of
getting
that
land,
but
I
also
do
have
concerns
about
the
potential
of
it
developing
into
what
the
precise
plan
envisioned
for
the
affordable
units.
I
know,
Council
will
determine
unit
mix
and
all
that,
but
we
we
have
a
decrease
in
size.
I
agree
with
commissioner
Cranston
when
he
said
that
the
analysis
didn't
take
into
consideration
a
lot
of
things.
A
That
would
make
me
more
comfortable
in
saying
yes,
those
three
Parcels
are
sufficient
to
get
the
units
that
the
precise
plan
had
kind
of
promised,
or
that
we
envisioned
I
also
feel
like
what
commissioner
Nunes
had
mentioned
with
the
public
benefits
package.
You
know
again
I'm
unsure
of
the
numbers.
I
know
those
were
back
at
the
envelope
numbers,
but
it's
it's
chunk.
It's
a
chunk
and
I
can
feel
it.
I
don't
know.
A
If
others,
you
know,
do
I
think
some
of
the
community
members
had
stated
the
inclusionary
portion
as
being
something
they
can
feel
personally
and
I
know
that
sometimes
you
give
things
up.
This
is
not
a
perfect
plan.
By
no
means
do
I
expect
that
we
get
every
hun.
You
know,
100
of
everything
that
we
were
wanting,
but
I
think
the
loss
is
great
enough
for
me
to
pause
at
least
given
that
this
is
the
only
chance
we
have
to
comment
on
it.
A
A
Worst
case
scenario,
is
that
we
don't
get
the
market
rate
housing
and
we've
got
only
affordable
buildings
up
in
North,
Bay
Shore,
with
very
limited
Transit
and
amenities.
That's
worst
case
scenario
and
I
know
that
that's
probably
not
the
reality
of
it.
Let's
say
best
scenario:
everything
gets
built
out.
The
economy
you
know
gets
back
on
track
and
Google
has
all
the
ability
to
forward
on
the
plan
that
was
intended.
A
We're
still
at
that
loss
and
we're
we're
I
feel
like
as
a
representative,
the
community
in
the
city
without
being
privy
to
all
the
you
know,
Minor
Details,
of
what
you
guys
are
discussing
in
the
day
that
loss
feels
sufficient
enough
to
give
pause.
So
I
agree
that
it
wouldn't
hurt
to
just
take
another
moment
and
see
if
there's
something
that
can
be
done
to
bridge
that
Gap,
because
we
are
asking
the
affordable
housing
developers
to
bridge
gaps
and
I.
A
A
H
H
Here's
one
thing
that,
in
terms
of
like
again
our
role
here,
you
know
I'll
kind
of
pause
it
to
my
colleagues
is
again
in
addition
to
taking
that
Community
feedback
and
being
the
conduit
for
that.
We
have
also
been
appointed
by
our
city
councils
at
various
point
in
times
to
use
our
own.
You
know
natural
dispositions
and
talents,
World,
Views
interests,
experiences
to
look
at
these
complex
land
use
matters
before
us
and
come
up
with
either.
H
You
know
flags
of
things
that
our
city
council,
who
are
the
ultimate
decision
makers
may
consider,
should
consider,
ought
to
think
about
Etc
right.
So
if
part
of
our
role
is
to
surface
and
raise
information
of
that
nature,
and
commissioner
Dempsey
I
think
you
know
in
in
previous
meetings,
you
know
I
have
heard
you
mention
how
much
transparency
he
is
a
strong
value
that
you
would
like
to
see.
The
city
Elevate
May
I
propose
something
to
this
effect.
Then
one
of
the
things
that
and
again
staff
works
really
hard.
H
This
is
not
right.
Just
this
is
our
role
right
here
to
try
and
raise
some
information
and
guidance
and
advisoriness
not
a
word
but
advisoryness
one
of
the
things
that
is
missing
if
I
was
a
council
person
and
I
wanted
to
make
a
good
decision
on
the
public
benefits
package
which
just
to
be
clear
with
the
voluntary
concept.
The
30-year
development
agreement
is
also
voluntary.
The
public
benefits
package
that
we
that
the
city
apparatus
has
been
negotiating
with
regards
to
the
development
agreement.
H
This
is
all
a
you
know.
Like
one
party
other
party
interesting.
This
is
not
the
precise
plan.
Community
package
benefits
the
city's
30-year
development
agreement
is
also
completely
voluntary,
whereby
we
allow
Google
to
effectively
reserve
the
use
of
very
some
of
the
most
valuable
land
on
the
planet
for
30
years.
H
So
if
that
is
the
case,
and
if
we
don't
have
to
make
the
final
decision
and
if
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
city
council
is
equipped
with
all
of
the
information
available
to
make
the
best
decision
for
the
city
then
may
I
propose
that
when
we're
looking
at
that
table,
six
public
benefit
package
comparison
and
it
says
affordable,
housing
or
I'm.
Sorry
people-centric
benefit
like
14.5
total.
You
know,
15
million
Etc
may
I
propose
that
we
ask
staff
or
provide.
However,
you
know
we
can
be.
H
That's
only
the
you
know
back
of
the
napkin
math,
whereby
that's
the
20
total
that
the
council
has
committed
to
with
regards
to
the
housing
element
in
terms
of
what
we
intend
to
reduce
our
Park
fees
by
not
a
situation
where
it
goes
to
zero,
but
that
20
commitment
already
submitted
to
hcd.
So
it
would
be
three
things.
It
would
be
the
15
million
in
that
you
know
December
2021.
H
It
would
be
the
dollar
value
of
the
five
percent
inclusionary
zoning
and
it
would
be
the
potential
dollar
value
loss
of
the
park
in
Luffy,
and
therefore
we
have
a
nice
complete
dollar
number
of
what
that
public
benefit
package
would
have
been
and
then
from
there
staff
will
be
able
to
provide
one.
Two
three
four,
however
many
options
in
their
staff
report
to
council
that
says:
here's
the
18.5
million
that
Google
is
proposing
under
this
plan,
totally
available
to
city
council
to
approve,
as
they
see
fit,
but
also
city
council.
H
H
What
would
that
look
like
as
an
option
as
a
possibility
to
recover
some
of
that
value
of
the
lost
five
percent,
because
as
it
stands
as
it
stands,
that
felt
sense
of
losing
of
the
city
losing
out
and
the
30-year
development
agreement
staying
the
same
where
we
get
less
and
Google
gets
the
same
at
our
expense?
That's
the
other
option.
This
is
not
a.
This
is
our
best
chance
to
have
shovels
breaking
in
the
ground.
No
we're
not
making
that
decision
right
now
about
whether
or
not
how
shovels
are
going
to
hit
the
ground.
H
All
we
get
all
we're
doing
tonight
is
having
the
option
to
elevate
this
information
for
public
transparency,
for
the
concerns
that
many
in
our
community
have
said
tonight
for
everyone
here
who
has
said
they
were
interested
in
that
five
percent
as
a
nice
to
have.
What
would
that
look
like
that's
all
that
we're
teeing
up
for
our
city
council?
What
would
that
look
like,
and
if
you
don't
like
that,
then
you
can
take
what
Google
is
offering.
That
is
my
proposal.
L
Manager,
thank
you
chair
and
thank
you,
commission,
and
thank
you
for
the
comments.
They
were
all
very
thoughtful
and
I
think
what
I'd
like
to
propose
is
what
I,
what
I
heard
was.
You
know
there's
some
clear
coalescing
around
the
master
plan
itself
and
it
might
be
some
questions.
There
are
some
questions
about
the
schools
and
then
there's
some
questions
about
the
D.A
right,
so
I'm
going
to
tackle
the
master
plan
elements
and
we
take
that
very
seriously.
L
Is
the
master
plan
compliant
with
the
precise
plan
and
based
on
what
we
are
showing?
Yes,
it
is.
It
is
compliant
and
we're
recommending
that
the
commission
find
that
it
is
compliant
subject
to
our
recommendations
and-
and
the
commission
can
act
on
that
piece
in
terms
of
the
schools.
I
can
assure
you
as
a
land
use
decision.
Cities
are
not
allowed
to
require
residential
development,
we're
in
fact
specifically
limited
by
the
state.
L
We
cannot
deny
residential
developments
because
they
have
if
they
contribute
impact
fees,
and
so
that
is
why
we
work
so
hard
to
get
this
Four.
Acre,
Site
and
I
see
that
as
a
collaboration
that
is
an
above
and
beyond.
We
were
able
to
get
and
we
actually
worked
with
the
school
district.
It
was
on
the
west
side
of
Shoreline.
It
was
only
two
and
a
half
acres.
They
wanted
it
closer
to
the
ecogem.
We
moved
it
there.
There
was
District
parking
adjacent
to
it.
L
L
L
We
want
this
to
be
a
plan
that
actually
gets
built,
and
so
land
education
is
considered
meeting
the
the
requirement
in
terms
of
the
and
and
Google
does
meet
that
and
I
can
go
a
little
bit
into
the
the
our
analysis
for
BMR
when
land
is
dedicated.
The
city
has
not
typically
contributed
the
125
dollars
per
unit.
We've
contributed
it
when
a
developer
has
to
purchase
land
on
their
own.
L
We
consider
the
land
dedication
our
contribution,
so
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
that
you
know
we
haven't
done
that
very
often,
but
when
we
have
like
a
lot
12,
you
know
there
was
a
different
kind
of
exchange,
but
in
the
end
the
city
did
not
contribute
more
than
the
land,
because
we
did
get
some
some
money
back
from
the
developer
and
then
we
were
able
to
give
some
money
to
the
developer.
But
but
overall
the
city
did
not
contribute
anything
beyond
that
land
piece.
L
The
third
thing
about
below
market
rate
housing,
and
we
can
go
into
that
a
little
bit
more.
We
did
not
take
the
developer's
word
for
granted
that
there
were
going
to
be
stackers,
there's
going
to
be
underground
parking.
There
was
going
to
be
a
unit
mix,
we
actually
the
the
middle
and
the
middle
column
that
we
looked
at
is
what
are
the
unit
sizes
assumed
in
the
precise
plan?
We
even
went
further
than
that
and
said
50
of
those
at
least
have
to
be
larger
units
than
those
assumed
in
the
precise
line.
L
We
took
the
Middlefield
Park
estimate
and
we
estimated
it
was
going
to
be
above
ground
parking
and
so
that
that
number
that
we're
giving
you
is
our
estimate.
We
also
worked
with
affordable
housing
developers
to
say
how
do
you
think
we
could
develop
on
this
site
and
what
you're
seeing
is
a
result
of
all
of
that
we're
providing
the
the
developers
calculation
Just
for
information.
Our
analysis
did
something
else
entirely
different.
We
didn't
take
that
for
granted.
L
So
our
our
range
that
we
provided
was
and
the
middle
part
of
the
range
basically
assumes
it's
above
ground
parking,
the
same
as
Middlefield
Park,
and
it
did
look
at
unit
sizes
assumed
in
the
precise
plan.
So
I
do
want
to
assure
you
that
we
have
done
a
lot
of
due
diligence
to
make
sure
that
this
plan
does
meet
the
requirements.
L
The
developer
gets
to
do
that
and
the
developer
maintains
it,
and
we
believe
that
you
know
for
for
the
city
to
just
go
out
and
deliver
if
we
got
raw
dirt
is
not
something
we
want
on
a
hundred
percent
of
the
Parkland,
and
so
that's
why
we're
recommending
this
vocal
credit,
the
20
Park
fee?
We
don't
know
that
it's
going
to
be
reduced
dollar
for
dollar
to
20.
We
know
that
it's
going
to
be
a
combination
of
items,
one
of
which
could
be
the
purple
credit.
L
We
don't
know
so
I,
don't
think
we
can
put
a
number
to
it
and
then
finally,
ATD
expects
us
to
apply
them
to
residential
projects.
That's
the
spirit
and
intent.
So
to
take
that
back
and
say
we
want
it
back,
I
think
is
going
to
be
going
against
the
spirit
and
intent
and
of
of
the
whole
point
and
and
I.
Don't
think
we'll
be
recommending
that
and
then
finally
there's
a
lot
of
interest.
I
think
I
think
Google
fills
the
loss
of
the
five
percent.
L
If
you
ask
me,
I've
had
many
conversations
and-
and
they
hated
having
to
do
that
and
you
know,
because
it
it
just
put
them
in
a
very
difficult
spot,
but
I've
had
some
honest
conversations
they
feel
like
this
is
the
only
way
they
can
actually
move
ahead
with
the
plan.
This
was
a
commissioner
said
it
right.
It
was
a
voluntary
contribution
and
it's
a
negotiated
settlement.
L
So
it's
going
to
be
very
I
think
we
can
take
that
to
heart
and
the
commission
can
provide
that
as
a
point
of
reference
or
a
recommendation
to
say,
we
would
like
to
see
other
ways
to
see
if
this
could
be
included
at
some
point,
but
it
is
in
the
end.
A
development
agreement
is
a
negotiated
agreement
and
we
actually
believe
the
30-year
da
is
appropriate
for
a
project
of
this
size.
L
As
somebody
said,
it's
a
quarter
of
a
city
and
it's
going
to
take
a
very
long
time
to
make
sure
that
it's
built
properly
and
in
a
very
orderly
manner
and
we've
got
a
25
to
35
year
plan
to
deliver
infrastructure.
So
we
completely
understand
that
and
and
and
agree
with
that
timeline,
we
don't
think
it
could
be
built
in
five
years.
Ten
years,
it's
just
going
to
be
very
difficult,
so
I
would
recommend
that
Council
look
at
does
is.
L
Does
it
comply
I
will
say
that
the
school
part
is
above
the
purview
of
this
land
use
decision
and
that
the
city
is
going
to
taking
this
very
seriously
and
working
with
the
board
and
I
would
say
that
if
there
are
any
comments
to
be
made
for
the
developer
and
the
city
to
find
the
ways
of
of
of
trying
to
get
the
affordable
housing,
that's
a
comment,
the
count
the
commission
is
absolutely
free
to
make,
and
we
can.
We
can
convey
that
both
to
the
developer
and
the
council.
L
G
Was
just
a
quick
follow-up
question
so
I
know,
Table
Six
has
been
referenced
a
lot,
but
Table
Six
doesn't
mention
the
elsewhere.
In
the
report
it
mentions
the
the
land
dedication
for
a
potential
School
site,
but
it
isn't
in
table
state.
Is
it
fair
to
say
I
know
that
it
I
know
that
throughout
this
process
there's
been,
we've
basically
said:
we
need
to
figure
out
a
strategy
for
the
school
stuff.
O
G
And
would
it
be
fair
to
say
that,
yes,
we
lost,
you
know
the
the
voluntary
five
percent
inclusionary
was
retracted,
but
we
also
gained
you
know
a
40-something
million
dollar
parcel
in
a
section
of
the
North
Bay
Shore
that
Google
didn't
it
was
originally
volunteer.
I
would
say:
did
we
did
we
sort
of
I
assumed
that
that
was
part
of
the
economic
decision
that
Google
made
in
in
taking
back
the
the
voluntary
five
percent?
Was
that
that
the
value
of
that
parcel
is
tens
of
you
know
40
something
million
dollars.
L
I
I
can't
speak
to
what
Google
did,
but
at
an
earlier
Point
Google
was
proposing
to
to
dedicate
those
four
acres
as
Parkland.
If
you,
if
you
recall
in
the
beginning,
and
that
would
have
meant
they
would
not
have
to
pay
a
good
part
of
that
hundred
million
dollars
in
park
fees
right
so
now
that
they,
they
said.
Okay,
fine,
I'm,
gonna,
now
dedicate
it
as
as
a
community
benefit.
It
means
they
have
to
pay
the
park
fee
I
see
right,
but
they
did
make
another
swap.
R
L
L
How
do
you
take
a
Four,
Acre,
Park
and
and
be
able
to
give
it
to
the
school
and
they
say
fine,
we'll
take
the
hit
on
the
park
fee
and
we'll
give
it
to
you
as
a
benefit
that
leaves
it
free
and
clear,
and
the
council
can
lease
it
to
the
school.
So
we
actually
worked
on
that
together
with
Google
to
figure
out.
How
can
we
get
a
free
and
clear
parcel.
L
AB
AB
So
all
right,
we
have
a
Za
hearing
scheduled
for
next
week,
where
the
Za
considers
the
public
benefits
package
makes
the
recommendation
to
council
so
we're
trying
to
understand
I,
and
we
hear
all
of
this
feedback
and
it's
and
it's
really
valuable,
but
if
the
EPC
is
making
a
recommendation
on
the
public
benefits
package,
how
does
that
play
with
the
hearing
that
we
have
next
week
with
the
Zone
administrator
and
the
city
council?
Thank
you
as.
L
We
explained
before
the
zoning
ordinance
requires
a
zoning
administrator
to
make
the
formal
recommendation,
but
but
we've
always
taken
comments
that
are
outside
of
even
maybe
outside
of
the
apc's
purview
that
we
we
just
bring
to
the
council
for
consideration.
And
that's
that's
the
spirit
in
which
we
intend
to
bring
those
up
to
council.
A
L
So
just
to
confirm
the
the
recommendation
the
EPC
is
making
the
formal
recommendation
is
on
the
master
plan.
The
formal
recommendation
on
the
D.A
is
is
the
Za
and
then,
if
the
EPC
has
a
comment
on
the
D.A
they
may,
they
may
make
that
comment
and
we'll
bring
that
comment
to
council.
But
it's
not
a
formal
recommendation
on
the
D.A.
A
H
A
H
Yes,
so
I
just
want
to
emphasize
again
that
the
voluntary
piece
here
is,
as
I
think
right
mentioned.
The
word
negotiated,
negotiated
the
public
benefit
package
in
association
or
I'm.
Sorry
in
relation
to
the
development
agreement,
which
is
not
part
of
our
formal
recommendation
here
at
all
tonight
that
public
benefit
package.
H
H
As
for
that
public
benefit,
which
is
totally
voluntary
on
both
ends
with
regards
to
the
development
agreement
and
the
30
years,
if
they're
comfortable,
as
is
then
they,
thankfully,
are
the
ones
who
are
going
to
make
that
final
call,
but
as
far
as
us
hearing
concerns
and
us
also
having
an
opportunity
to
just
Elevate
and
raise
issues.
That
is
the
proposal.
It
is
not
a
reconfiguring
of
anything
on
the
floor
with
regards
to
the
development
agreement
itself
or
the
master
plan,
and
I
will
just
remind
I
think
unless
I'm
a
second.
H
If
the
D.A
goes
through,
Google
would
get
like
ministerial
approval.
They
would
go
to
like
the
zoning
administrator.
It
would
not
be
like
a
public
reviewed
thing,
there's
a
lot
of
time
value
a
lot
of
land
value,
that's
being
tied
up,
there's
a
lot
of
value
that
the
city
is
offering
to
Google
that
at
this
moment
in
time,
the
public
benefit
to
the
city
has
reduced.
77
percent
and
Google's,
from
my
estimation,
has
reduced
zero.
G
O
G
L
The
reason
we
said
value
is
because
we
didn't
quite
know
and
just
for
the
information
it
was
not
lower
or
very
low
income.
They
were,
they
were
moderate
income,
so
the
the
value
is
is
a
little
bit
lower
than
it
would
be
so
I
I,
don't
know
what
that
is,
but
we'll
do
our
best
and
just
convey
that
as
information
to
council
and
I
did
want
to
make
the
point
that
any
fee
reduction
for
Parks
the
spirit
intent
was
that
it
be
applied
to
residential.
G
G
Staff,
through
the
paces
of
in
the
next
four
weeks,
coming
up
with
here's
an
example
of
how
to
recover
five
million
dollars.
Here's
an
example
of
how
to
recover
whatever
I
I
think
council
is
going
to
be
equipped
if
they
can
get
a
sense
for
the
difference
in
value
I
think
they
can
figure
out
for
themselves.
G
L
But
information,
presentation,
I,
think
we'll
see
what
we
can
do
to
confirm
any
numbers
with
Google
to
see
if
they
they're
willing
to
share-
or
we
can
put
a
very
big
ballpark
amount,
likely
it's
going
to
be
much
lower
than
the
amount
commissioner
Nunes
may
have
come
up
with,
because
it
would
include
Park
and
it
would
not
reflect
the
125
000
which
we
give
for
low
and
very
low
income.
So
it
might
be
much
smaller
that.
F
P
C
A
N
So
next
meeting
is
May
17th
we're
going
to
have
maybe
more
of
a
fun
interactive
session
with
the
commission
we're
going
to
have
an
overview
of
the
development
review
process,
we're
going
to
have
an
overview
of
sequa
and
we're
going
to
have
a
kind
of
retreat
conversation
with
the
commission
with
some
prompting
questions
around
kind
of
how
you
might
want
to
work
together
or
run
meetings
or
get
the
best
out
of
each
other.
So
it
should
be
a
fun
conversation.
N
Recent
council
meeting
we
on
April
25th
Council,
gave
Direction
on
the
work
plan
for
2023-2025.,
so
staff
presented
a
framework
for
prioritizing
the
projects
in
their
proposed
work
plan
based
in
part
on
Direction,
provided
by
our
recommendations
provided
by
advisory
bodies
such
as
yourself,
Council
generally
supported
that
staff
framework.
They
wanted
a
higher
priority
for
the
downtown
temporary
office
limit,
as
well
as
the
holistic
review
of.
N
Otherwise
supported
that
framework,
they
also
supported
staff
recommendation
to
review
gatekeeper
policy
in
the
fall
and
then
go
out
for
Gatekeepers.
After
that
next
week,
Council
will
be
reviewing
the
PED
Mall
ordinance
updates
that
you
all
provided
a
recommendation
on
and
then
on,
May
23rd.
There
will
be
a
few
items
that
EPC
may
be
interested
in
anti-displacement
strategy.
The
displacement
response
strategy,
the
189
North
Bernardo
project,
which
the
EPC
reviewed,
and
there
is
a
request
for
a
North
Bayshore
bonus
office,
far
allocation
from
property.
