A
This
portion

the
meeting
is
reserved
for
persons
wishing
to
address
the
EPC
on
any

not
on
the

Speakers
are
allowed
to

on
any
topic
for
up

the
section.
State
law
prohibits
the
commission

If
anyone
in
attendance
would
like
to
provide
comments
on
non-agenda
items,
please
fill
out
a
yellow
speaker
card
and
provide
it
to
the
EPC
clerk.
A
Thank
you
so
much,
then
we
will
move
on
to
our
public
hearings.
The
first
agenda
item
is
5.1
189
North
Bernardo
Avenue
office
project.
We
will
first
have
a
staff
presentation,
then
an
applicant
presentation.
Then
questions
by
the
EPC,
followed
by
public
comment
at
the
closure
of
public
comment.
The
commission
will
then
deliberate
and
take
action.
A
A
E
E
This
project
was
authorized
to
receive
or
to
utilize
up
to
28
000
square
feet
of
TDR
floor
area.
At
that
meeting
the
applicant
hosted
a
community
meeting
in
January
of
2022.
However,
no
member
of
the
public
attended
in
March
of
2022
the
project
was
considered
by
the
EPC
at
a
study
session.
Epc
expressed
support
for
the
project
and
directed
the
applicant
and
staff
to
study
refinements,
which
Focus
primarily
on
landscaping
and
amenity
areas.
E
E
E
In
compliance
with
the
East
wisman
precise
plan,
the
project
proposes
a
multi-use
path
with
bicycle
facilities
and
a
north
to
south
pedestrian
Paseo
Additionally.
The
project
will
provide
approximately
23
000
square
feet
of
privately
owned,
publicly
accessible
or
Popa
open
space,
which
would
feature
bike,
Fix-It
stations,
Sport
and
games,
courts,
pedestrian
skill
lighting,
seating
and
barbecues.
E
E
The
project
complies
substantially
with
the
East
wisman,
precise
plan,
employment,
character,
area
standards
and
requests
minor
exceptions
to
the
required
number
of
loading
spaces
and
to
multi-use
path
and
north-south
Paseo
standards.
These
exceptions
will
allow
for
additional
Landscaping
within
the
surface
parking
area
and
preservation
of
nine
additional
Heritage
trees.
E
So,
in
conclusion,
staff
recommends
that
the
EPC
recommend
the
city
council
adopt
the
initial
study
and
approve
the
planned
Community
permit.
Development
review
permit
and
Heritage
tree
removal
permit,
as
shown
in
the
staff
report
and
City
staff,
is
present
and
available
for
questions,
and
the
applicant
team
also
has
a
brief
presentation
to
share
thanks.
F
Thanks
Commissioners,
my
name
is
Ken
Rodriguez,
krp,
Architects,
Mountain,
View,
California
and
I'm,
going
to
briefly
go
through
a
very
short
slide
presentation,
with
the
help
of
Gary
Layman
from
the
gizzardo
partnership,
Landscape
Architects
and
our
client
Steve
Lynch
from
Sandhill
properties.
So
let's
go
to
the
first
slide.
F
If
we
could,
when
we
were
before
you
previously
is
outlined
by
staff,
you
had
suggested
that
we
take
really
an
entirely
different
look
at
the
surface
parking
area
leading
to
the
garage
in
that
it
was
an
asphalt
parking
area
before
there
was
a
lot
of
talk
from
the
EPC
to
enhance
that
area
and
make
it
look
more
urban,
more
unique
materials.
We
we
did
just
that.
We
eliminated
the
asphalt
created
a
beautiful
series
of
concrete
treat,
Design,
Elements
and
features
that
not
only
occur
in
the
parking
lot.
We
added
Landscaping,
as
staff
mentioned.
F
We
also
created
this
strong
north-south
connection
between
the
existing
building
and
building
two
per
your
recommendation.
You
also
asked
for
an
enhanced
element
at
the
corner
of
Bernardo
and
Central
Expressway
because
of
the
the
future
under
Crossing
we've
provided
a
plaza
there,
some
artwork
and
then
again,
a
very
nice
open
space,
Plaza
element
in
the
Landscaping
all
along
North
Bernardo,
again
a
suggestion
by
the
EPC.
F
Let's
go
to
the
the
first
slide
of
the
the
building,
keep
going
good
next
slide.
So
this
is
just
an
overall
aerial
view
that
shows
our
project.
As
staff
mentioned,
we
are
remodeling
building
one
we
mentioned
to
you
last
time
when
we
were
here,
there
is
a
longer
term
lease,
it's
not
a
long-term
lease,
but
on
that
building.
F
But
we
have
always
thought
through
with
this
new
design,
that
that
building
at
some
point
might
be
replaced
and
the
underground
garage
connected
for
that
building
as
well
next
slide-
and
these
are
just
some
quick,
visual
images
from
that
enhanced
landscape
area.
We
added
an
outdoor,
Sport,
Court
area,
again
additional
Landscaping,
we're
in
red.
We
are
in
concurrence
with
staff's
recommendation
to
eliminate
the
additional
loading
spaces
to
create
more
Landscaping
next
slide,
and
these
are
just
a
series
of
slides
from
Central
Expressway.
F
This
gives
you
a
shot
of
that
north-south
connection,
and
we've
set
that
up
so
that
the
adjacent
site
which
is
in
the
foreground,
where
the
empty
parking
stalls
are,
can
connect
to
that
and
then
again
connect
to
the
multi-use
Past
next
slide
and
here's
a
shot
at
night
across
Central
Expressway.
The
building
and
the
additional
parking
garage
next
slide.
F
F
G
Good
evening,
we're
very
excited
to
bring
this
to
you
today,
as
Ken
mentioned.
One
of
the
real
exciting
components
to
this
was
the
development
of
the
public
open
spaces
throughout
the
project
and
the
connectivity.
The
flowing
of
pedestrians
through
the
space,
is
to
really
make
this
a
very
inviting
environment
that
you
know
really
creates
significant
value
for
the
whole
Community.
You
can
see
in
this
slide
here
we're
using
a
very
rich
palette
of
materials.
G
You
know
Paving
lighting,
seating
elements
to
really
create
a
very
inviting
space
and
make
it
feel
warm
and
attractive
from
from
the
outset.
Next
slide,
please,
the
overall
landscape
plan
shows,
as
the
diagrams
did
before,
how
the
the
public
circulation
could
move
through
the
space.
We're
excited
about
the
corner,
Plaza
there
at
the
corner
of
Bernardo
and
Central,
creating
a
real
sort
of
Gateway
element
there
with
the
existing
building.
G
G
In
addition
to
all
that,
on
the
roof
of
the
office
building,
we
have
this
really
nice
Roof
Garden,
which
you'll
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
terrific
views
off-site
both
the
North
and
South.
And
you
can
see
this
is
really
set
up
to
be
a
really
wonderful
place
for
people
to
be
able
to
go
outside
work
to
be
able
to
socialize.
H
A
good
evening,
commission,
my
name
is
Steve
Lynch
with
Sandhill
property
company,
so
I
don't
have
a
lot
to
add
to
the
presentation.
Our
final
slide
is
just
showing
some
of
our
community
benefits.
The
battle
on
your
staff
report,
so
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
have.
The
only
thing
I
would
add
is
just
thank
you
to
staff.
It's
very
thorough
report,
we're
supported
and
we're
we're
here
to
answer
any
questions
so.
A
H
So
it
is
going
to
be
a
little
bit
tricky
on
the
timing.
In
fact,
the
site
work
is
going
to
be
probably
the
most
most
difficult
in
terms
of
timing.
So
we're
probably
going
to
do
everything
at
one
time,
but
right
now
we're
waiting
to
see
what
happens
so
the
build
the
existing
building
is
actually
I.
Think
there
are
two
tenants
in
there
substantially
vacant.
H
So
luckily
we're
looking
at
mostly
exterior
Renovations
on
the
building
at
this
point,
so
it's
not
too
intrusive,
but
the
the
the
site
work,
and
it's
particularly
some
of
the
tree
work-
we're
gonna
have
to
do-
is
going
to
be
a
little
bit
trickier
in
terms
of
working
around
that
tenant's
needs.
Thank.
G
K
K
Apologies
for
that,
so
my
question
is
pretty
simple
for
the
team.
So
last
year,
when
we
spoke
about
the
plan,
there
was
concerns
about
the
parking
spaces
right
for
bicycles
and
it
just
for
the
public
to
know.
Would
you
be
able
to
point
out
to
those
modifications
you
made
and
request
to
our
question
of?
Can
you
redo
these?
Where
are
they.
G
We
also
have
drinking
fountains
and
water
fill
stations,
so
it's
really
making
it
very
convenient
for
people
to
be
able
to
utilize
those
spaces.
I
think
there's
one
more
slide.
That
also
shows
bicycle
parking
there.
Between
the
garage
and
the
in
the
office
building
and
then
on
the
far
left
of
this
picture,
you
have
the
multi-use
sport
court
area,
which
also
has
bicycle
parking
there
so
kind
of
all
the
Gateway
entry
points
into
the
site.
K
G
L
G
There
is
sort
of
a
flex
Court
space,
it's
not
near
the
back
portion
of
the
site,
it's
actually
closer
to
Bernardo
along
the
that
lower
property
line
area
there.
So
it's
right
on
one
of
The,
Pedestrian
Pathways,
and
so
it's
sort
of
a
mixed
use.
You
could
have
Hibachi,
you
can
do
corn
hole.
You
know
it
has
a
nice
bench
there
and
shaded
trees
and
and
such
so
it
does
have
that
amenity
provided.
L
L
M
N
G
Exactly
yeah
I
think
that's
a
good
point
and
what
we're
looking
at
providing
is
kind
of
a
diverse
set
of
amenities.
So
you
have
the
more
active
amenities
over
in
the
far
left,
where
you
have
sort
of
a
mixed,
Sport,
Court
type
area,
and
then
you
have
this
a
little
bit
more
passive
area,
that's
closer
to
the
existing
office,
building
so
sort
of
a
nice
diversity.
People
can
choose
how
they
want
to
use
it
perfect.
G
L
L
P
E
So
if
we
included
the
28
000
square
feet
of
LASD
TDR,
the
project
would
be
responsible
for
249
units
and
that's
representative
of
the
three
per
1000
square
feet
and
it
could
be
reduced
to
1.5
per
1000
square
feet,
which
would
be
approximately
125
units.
Now,
if
we
exclude
the
28
000
square
feet
of
TDR,
the
project
in
theory
would
have
been
responsible
for
165
units
or
83,
affordable
units.
D
E
Yeah
thanks
for
the
question,
so
we
were
able
to
save.
Let's
see
what
was
it
an
additional
13
Heritage
trees
since
the
EPC
last
reviewed
this
project.
Those
trees
are
indicated
by
the
orange
points
on
this
diagram,
and
that
was
largely
due
to
the
minor
exceptions
from
the
the
multi-use
path
standards,
and
you
can
see
that
there
was
also
some
changes
to
the
the
replanting
plan.
So
they'll
be
planting
220
new
trees,
as
opposed
to
the
173.
R
Thank
you,
I
have
a
question
for
staff.
I
was
so
pleased
since
we
saw
this
class
that
it
looks
like
the
funding
and
planning
is
coming
together
for
the
Bernardo
under
Crossing
I.
Wonder
if
you
can
maybe
share
if
it's
too
premature
the
sequencing
of
this
project
and
when
and
anticipated
under
Crossing
might
open
to
serve
us.
The
employees
at
the
new
project
site.
E
Q
After
this,
we
would
go
into
full
design.
We
have
funding
secured
for
the
the
final
design,
and
the
hope
is
that
that
would
happen
this
year,
which
I
think
is
a
little
ambitious.
But
assuming
that
takes
a
couple
of
years,
then
the
earliest
that
construction
would
happen
is
maybe
like
three
years
out.
That
would
be
the
very
earliest
that
we'd
we
still
need
to
secure
funding
for
the
construction
phases
and
there's
a
lot
also.
That
needs
to
happen
in
terms
of
relationship
with
Caltrain.
R
Q
Actually,
the
current
project,
which
is
the
preliminary
design,
is
a
shared
project
between
Mountain,
View
and
Sunnyvale.
Sunnyvale,
actually
initiated
the
project
and
Mountain
View
kind
of
joined
in
after
the
fact,
and
we
have
secured
oat
bag.
I,
don't
know
if
he
was
sorry.
We've
secured
some
measure,
B
funding
for
design
and
construction,
which
is
VTA.
You
know
ballot
measure,
measure,
B
and
then
Sunnyvale
also
secured
some
obag
to
funding
for
design.
Q
We
also
secured
some
federal
earmark
money
for
I,
think
that
is
design
as
well,
so
we're
cobbling
together
different.
You
know
different
pieces
of
of
funding,
but
so
far
the
project
has
been
led
by
Sunnyvale
in
very
close
collaboration
with
Mountain
View,
because
this
goes
underneath
the
Caltrain
tracks,
the
design
and
construction
would
need
to
be
led
by
Caltrain.
O
O
So,
to
the
extent
that
you
know,
the
applicant
is
aware
of
the
best
practices
that
you
know
facilitate
people
knowing
or
being
able
to
be
guided
towards,
knowing
that
they
can
use
that
Community
benefit
for
something
that
is
obviously
something
they're
able
to
do
with
it,
in
particular,
something
that's
highly
demanded
by
our
residents
in
terms
of
recreation.
I,
totally
support
that
comment
so
that
people
don't
just
think
they're
standing
in
the
middle
of
a
rectangle.
O
But
this
question
for
staff
I
would
say:
to
what
extent
did
the
DRC
assess
the
expectation
possibility
that
there
might
be
some
glare
that
might
occur
for
motorists
going
down
Central
Expressway
and
to
what
extent
would
that
be?
You
know
either
like
extreme,
not
at
all.
Maybe
during
what
times
of
the
day,
if
at
all,.
E
S
But
in
general
sorry
Diana,
pancholi
principal
planner,
with
the
planning
division,
but
in
general
you
know
whenever
we
are
reviewing
such
projects,
but
you
know
such
architectural
style.
That
is
always
a
consideration.
Whether
we're
specifically
discussing
that
point
blank
or
not,
but
that's
always
a
consideration.
So.
O
Thank
you.
So
if
it
was
a
consideration,
what
are
the
kind
of
outputs
that
come
from
that
consideration
in
terms
of
like
either
measurables
or
assessment
or
report,
and
and
the
reason
why
I
bring
this
up
is
because
you
know
when
I've
been
driving
down
Central
Expressway
through
cities
that
shall
not
be
named,
I
have
had
to
you
know,
and
it
I
just
would
not
want
either
the
city
to
get
complaints
about
this.
You
know
five
years
from
now
or
far
less
have
someone
actually
get
hurt
because
they.
S
F
Yes,
thank
you.
We
did
talk
about
that
at
DRC
level,
early
on
in
the
stage
two
things
for
this
class
one.
It
is
clear
glass,
it
is
not
reflective
in
any
way.
That's
number
one
number
two,
it's
also
bird
safe
design,
so
we
looked
at
both
of
those
issues
very
early
on
and
I
I.
Don't
think
you're
going
to
have
any
of
that
that
type
of
issue
that
you're
thinking
some
of
those
other
buildings
on
Central,
as
you
know,
are
a
little
older
and
they
were
more
reflective,
yeah.
O
I
totally
believe
that
we
would
learn
our
mistakes
from
the
70s
and
80s
and
such
that
said
just
in
case
for
some
weird
reason
things
are
glaring.
Is
this
a
situation
where
the
applicant
would
be
responsible
for
any
kind
of
like
after
the
fact,
remediation
work,
or
is
that
something
like
what
would
be
the
city's
recourse
if
there
was
which
I
don't
expect
there
would
be?
But
if
there
was
like
who
would
be
the
median.
S
O
S
O
Was
the
expectation
I
just
have
to
ask
the
questions,
cool
and
then
last
kind
of
line
of
thinking
here,
just
in
terms
of
the
community
benefit
I,
think
it
was
like
3.6
or
something
million
for
the
schools
and
then
1.3.
For
you
know
the
underpassing
with
regards
to
that
3.6
million.
Is
that
something
that
the
school
district
and
the
developer
negotiate
between
themselves
and
we're
only
okay?
So
then,
with
regards
to
that
1.3
million.
E
O
K
F
A
I
just
had
a
couple
questions
myself,
just
during
the
presentation
it
occurred
to
me.
Thank
you
for
making
sure
there's
a
little
bit
more
green
space
from
the
last
iteration
I.
Do
see
that
there's
still
a
lot
of
Hardscape
and
I
was
curious.
If
you
guys
looked
at
porous
pavers
to
to
ensure
that
water
flow
would
at
least
seep
down
instead
of
just
run
off,
I
didn't
know
if
that
was
a
consideration,
and
if
you
looked
into
that
and.
A
Great,
thank
you
and
then
I
know
that
the
Dark
Skies
initiative
is
something
that
is
going
to
be
coming
and
so
because
it's
coming
I
didn't
know.
If
maybe
there
was
discussion
about
that,
given
the
glass
comments
here,
I
was
wondering
if
that
would
be
something
that
you
looked
at
for
operations
and
management
like
rolling
the
blinds
down,
so
that
it's
not
just
a
glass
box.
That's
glowing!
S
To
the
best
of
staff's
knowledge,
whatever
we
have
heard
and
we
have
learned
through,
you
know
different
pieces
coming
together.
We
have
ensured
that
you
know
we
check
for
that,
but,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
don't
have
specific
regulations
in
place,
so
there's
nothing
that
we
can
be.
It
can
be
required.
H
So
I
I
don't
know
these
regulations
off
the
top
of
my
head.
No,
but
I
generally
know
they're
coming
these
have
been
decades
in
the
making
and
and
in
in
terms
of
the
lights
going
on
and
off
or
whether
blinds
are
going
down.
That's
really
a
function
of
the
tenant
in
an
operational
issue,
so
the
lights
are
supposed
to
be
off
everything's
supposed
to
be
on
automatic
timers.
H
A
H
Absolutely
yeah
and
we
do
have
some
of
those
issues
and
other
tenants
in
other
cities,
and
it's
the
same
thing
where
we
have
sort
of
our
asset
managers
remind
them.
Hey.
The
timers
need
to
be
on
they're
generally,
not
even
controlled
in
the
building.
A
lot
of
the
newer
timers
are
controlled
by
off-site
companies.
So,
okay,
yep
thanks.
A
B
Okay,
hi
I'm
Celia
Palmer,
a
representative,
greenspaces
Mountain
View
I
appreciate
the
discussion
about
Dark
Skies.
That
was
just
happening
to
add
on
to
that
the
considerations
for
the
exterior
lights.
Hopefully
there
are
international
Dark
Skies
recommendations
for
exterior
lighting,
for
the
paths
and
for
the
green
spaces,
so
I
hope
you
look
into
those.
They
also
should
dim
significantly
when
no
one's
walking
by
and
then
have
motion
sensors,
so
they
turn
brighter.
B
C
A
J
So
I
I'll
just
say:
I
I
can't
believe
it's
been
a
year
since
the
last
meeting,
but
but
thank
you
very
much
to
you
and
to
staff
too,
and
and
DRC
for
being
responsive
to
our
comments.
I
think
you
know,
they're
they're,
always
trade-offs
with
with
anything
here
and
I.
Think
in
this
case
it's
it's
mostly
the
trees.
Unfortunately,
but
I
I'm
encouraged
that
we
were
able
to
find
additional
trees.
J
J
J
K
One
more
comment:
yes,
I
wanted
to
also
not
just
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
show
the
community
what
you
had
listened
to
us
our
concerns
about.
Where,
with
the
bicycle
situation,
then
you
pointed
out
where
these
changes
were
made
and
how
they
were
made
and
that's
appreciated,
but
I
also
want
to
take
notice
of
and
give
you
credit
for,
the
rooftop
garden,
setting
the
app
that
outdoor
setting.
K
A
Now
we
are
going
to
move
to
our
second
agenda
item,
which
is
the
advisory
body
input
on
the
fiscal
years,
2023-24
and
20
24
to
25
Council
work
plan
potential
projects.
We
will
first
have
a
staff
presentation.
Then
questions
by
the
EPC,
followed
by
public
comment
at
the
closure
of
public
comment.
The
commission
will
then
deliberate
and
provide
their
priority
projects.
M
At
the
February
28th
council
meeting,
the
council
identified
42
potential
projects
for
the
fiscal
year.
23-25
work
plan
that
included
20
carry
forward
projects
from
the
fiscal
years,
21-23
work
plan,
as
well
as
10
projects
that
were
already
be
considered
for
this
implementation
time
period
and
12
projects
that
were
proposed
by
the
council
during
that
study
session,
and
today
we're
asking
to
hear
your
highest
priority
projects
from
that
list
of
42..
M
So
those
projects
are
all
intended
to
again
Advance
Council
strategic
priorities
which
are
displayed
here
on
the
screen
for
you.
Today,
staff
will
be
providing
the
council
with
an
analysis
of
the
Project's
impact
on
advancing
those
strategic
priorities,
along
with
an
analysis
of
the
impact
on
staff
capacity,
the
Project's
alignment
with
race,
equity
and
inclusion
goals
that
have
been
outlined
by
Council
the
timeliness
or
urgency
of
that
project
and
any
dependencies
or
ways
in
which
that
project
facilitates
additional
staff
resources
in
the
future.
M
B
would
be
high
priority
projects
considered
after
category
and
staff
allocation
and
planning,
but
still
intended
to
start
and
make
significant
Headway
in
that
two-year
implementation
period
and
C
would
be
priority
projects
to
be
worked
on
as
time
and
resources
allow.
There
are
some
projects
that
council
members
suggested
and
immediately
identified
as
phase
three
specifically,
for
example,
updating
the
municipal
code
to
remove
redundant
or
unenforceable
clauses.
M
So
with
that
said,
the
proposed
process
for
today's
discussion
is
to
have
questions
for
staff
public
comment.
As
you
know,
these
are
the
same
slides
that
I've
used
for
every
Council
advisory
body
and
to
help
guide
the
discussion.
I
know
you
are
very
familiar
with
this
process
and
then
the
third
is
to
develop
a
recommendation
and
staff's
proposal
is
that
each
commissioner
will
share
up
to
10
projects
that
they've
identified
as
most
important
staff
I
will
record
responses
to
identify
a
collective
or
aggregated
10,
and
then
we'd
have
discussion
to
forward
the
recommendation
to
council.
A
Thank
you,
so
I
figure
we're
going
to
have
EPC
questions
and,
if
you
don't
mind
we'll
do
questions
about
the
process.
How
we're
going
to
go
about
this
first,
if
you
have
any
and
if
none
we
will
move
into
just
questions
or
other
general
questions
and
then
individual
project
questions,
if
you
have
any,
does
that
make
sense.
A
J
J
M
Thank
you
I
believe
that
these
are
the
42
projects
that
Council
has
expressed
interest
in,
so
they
will
likely
end
up
in
the
council
work
plan
unless
there's
some
counter
indication
that
comes
from
the
staff
recommendation
or
analysis,
so
I
would
recommend
prioritizing
the
projects
that
do
exist.
Okay,
thank
you.
M
D
P
P
I
think
part
of
the
role
of
the
Council
work
plan
is
to
give
Council
some
ownership
over
projects,
even
if
they're
also
required
right
and
it,
and
it
can
be
kind
of
provide
that
additional
guidance
to
staff
about
the
the
nature
of
the
priority
and
the
the
nature
of
of
what
council's
looking
for
from
staff.
So
giving
giving
the
this
process
can
include
projects
that
are
otherwise
required,
and
there
may
be
projects
that
are
otherwise
required
that
aren't
part
of
this
process.
It's
really
a
very
council-led
process.
O
So,
just
to
kind
of
go
off
of
what
commissioner
Cranston
mentioned
in
terms
of
comment
recording
to
council
like
if
you
know
clearly
understanding
the
intent
is
not
you
know,
we're
gonna
in
any
way
say
hey.
We
think
this
should
be
added
or
this
should
be
changed.
Or
what
have
you
is
it
still
like
ballpark
to
say,
hey,
we're
looking
at
you
know,
project
line,
number
X,
and
it
says
this.
O
You
know
if
four
people
agree
that
maybe
Council
should
consider
that
it
might
you
know
like
include
this,
for
example.
Is
that
within
the
scope
of
the
process,
so
like
not
we're
recommending
you
change
it,
but
more
like
recommending
you
think
about
a
possible.
You
know
like
Edition
or
modification.
M
Thank
you
for
your
question
is
other
commissions
and
committees
have
provided
limited
direction
as
to
considering
inclusion
of
particular
elements
in
some
of
those
projects.
So,
for
example,
the
Performing
Arts
committee
suggested
that
the
Performing
Arts
Center
be
a
part
of
the
project
working
on
revive
downtown
vibrancy,
including
performances
in
The
Pedestrian
Mall.
So
there
have
been
some
suggestions
along
those
lines
that
have
been
recorded.
Yes,.
A
L
M
You're
correct
in
noting
that
they're
certainly
related
the
local
Road
Safety
Vision.
Zero
action
plan
is
very
much
focused
on
infrastructure
throughout
the
city
for
particularly
bikes
and
pedestrians,
but
also
vehicles
to
reduce
vehicular
accidents
and
with
a
goal
of
Zero
fatalities
and
project
22.
Expanding
the
safe
roads
to
school
program
includes
more
of
an
education
element,
including
visiting
schools
explaining
Road
Safety,
creating
Maps,
laying
out
routes
and
infrastructure
improvements
along
those
specific
routes.
So,
while
there
is
some
overlap,
there
are
two
separate
programs
worth
two
separate
approaches
to
similar
goals.
D
M
Excellent
question:
they're
related
in
the
fiscal
year
21-23
work
plan.
There
was
an
item
that
was
continue
to
implement
the
transit
standard
master
plan
with
no
further
explanation.
I'm
in
the
staff
recommendation
for
this
work
plan
was
to
focus
on
a
specific
project
that
continued
to
implement
the
transit
center
master
plan,
with
a
goal
of
more
transparency
around
that
house.
How
that
was
being
done.
O
Thank
you,
I'm
looking
at
projects
34,
35
and
36
in
particular,
34
and
36
I'm
kind
of
curious
about
some
yeah.
If
you
could
also
kind
of
highlight
some
of
the
differences
I
imagine
36
might
be
generally
across
the
city.
I,
don't
know
to
what
extent
storefront
activation
is
or
isn't
as
problematic
a
Focus
right
now,
as
opposed
to
like
the
downtown,
for
example.
So,
to
the
extent
that
you
know
you
can
help
me
understand
the
difference
between
those
projects,
I
would
really
appreciate
that.
M
Organizing
number
36,
which
is
developing
a
comprehensive
storefront
activation
program,
would
be
a
city-wide
product
program,
as
you
note,
with
the
goal
of
enhancing
what
might
be
considered
a
traditional
facade,
Improvement
program,
to
include
some
design
guidance
and
elements
so
that
those
facades
would
have
a
little
bit
more
of
a
cohesiveness
in
some
direction.
As
to
the
expectations.
O
P
Q
D
P
How
well
do
some
of
our
standards
kind
of
support
the
the
business
environment,
so
it
they're
in?
In
all
likelihood
there
will
be
outcomes
from
the
strategy
that
will
inform
you,
know
your
purview,
zoning
updates
and
and
general
plan
amendments
and
the
like.
So
it
is
something
that
I
do
recommend
you.
You
keep
an
eye
on
it.
O
So
what
I'm,
really
hoping
for
in
terms
of
item
number
10
in
particular,
is
more
displacement
prevention
than
like
response
or
mitigation,
and
so
a
lot
of
that
obviously
will
have
to
do
with
like
whether
or
not
people
are
able
to
come
to
a
place
to
maintain
the
residency
in
the
city.
And
so
my
question
is:
to
what
extent
are
these
two
items?
Linked
In
the
approach
that
staff
is
taking
in
yeah
with
regard
to
these
two
items?.
P
Yeah
that
that's
a
really
really
big
question
and
it's
something
that
we
are
talking
about
all
the
time
between
my
team
and
and
Wayne's
team
in
in
the
housing
division.
So
I
I
can't
give
you
too
much
at
this
point,
because
it
is
a
work
in
process,
but
you're
you're,
absolutely
correct
that
they
are
joined
at
the
hip.
P
The
outcomes
of
the
anti-displacement
strategy
need
to
inform
R3
and
vice
versa,
so
the
the
process
is
we're
going
to
be
going
to
council
with
the
anti-displacement
strategy
framework
in
a
couple
of
months
here
to
a
study
session,
and
so
that
can
kind
of
help
inform
where
council's
priorities
are.
That
can
can
also
help
inform
how
they're
linked
in
the
in
the
R3
project.
But
you
know
in
terms
of
which
comes
first,
which
is
the
cart,
which
is
the
horror
they're,
so
deeply
deeply
intertwined.
P
P
P
Q
P
Move
people
into
you
know
the
trail.
That's
against
all
of
this
other
stuff,
that's
just
kind
of
not
necessarily
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
zoning
related.
So
they
really
are
they're.
It's
a
it's
a
Venn
diagram,
there's
a
lot
that's
outside
of
the
other
one,
and
so
it
is
appropriate
that
they're
separate.
K
Thank
you
chair,
so
I
have
a
question
in
terms
of
22.
I'm
in
support
of
expanding
the
school,
safe
routes,
and
all
that
comes
with
it
and
and
my
question
is
and
I
don't
know
if
this
is
applicable
or
not,
but
if
it's
not
I'll
still
send
an
email
to
council
for
sure
right
as
a
as
a
citizen
of
Mountain
View
and
a
registered
voter
hey.
This
is
what
I
think,
but
for
for
that,
I
would
appreciate
here's
the
question
because
I
don't
know
the
specifics
of
the
plant
per
se.
K
That
would
read
watch
for
school
commuters,
because
I
know
it's
been
about
a
year
since
my
friend
or
elanitos,
my
daughters
friend
Andre,
passed
away
so
I'd
appreciate
if
you
could
relay
that,
because
this
does
affect
our
community
in
different
manners
and
that's
one
way
where
I
think
we
can
make
a
difference
if
it's
considered
as
a
top
ten
hey.
Let's
include
this:
is
it
possible?
We
would
appreciate
that
very
much.
A
M
So
the
biodiversity
strategy
is
one
of
the
projects:
that's
closer
to
completion.
That's
one
of
the
carry
forwards
and
the
Dark
Skies
ordinance
may
be
one
of
the
recommendations
that
comes
out
of
that
strategy.
It
is
also
included
as
a
project
on
this
list,
because
there
are
specific
interests
from
Council
and
seeing
it
accelerated.
A
And
I
had
a
question
earlier
about
the
carry
forward
projects.
I
am
under
the
impression
that
a
lot
of
them
are
underway
and
without
knowing
you
know
how
large
these
projects
are,
how
much
time's
involved
the
efficiencies
of
just
moving
it
Forward
versus
you
know
highlighting
something
else.
So
you
know
because
we
don't
know,
although
I
personally
don't
know
that
I
was
just
curious.
M
M
A
A
A
N
Q
B
Okay,
hi
Alexander
green
spaces,
Mountain
View,
honestly,
looking
at
this
list,
I,
don't
know
how
I
would
pick
top
10
there's
so
many
things
on
there
that
are
important
and
I'm
sure
as
Commissioners.
Your
prioritization
will
be
around
your
position
as
well.
I
did
want
to
point
out
too,
that
might
be
fall
under
the
radar.
B
As
you
mentioned,
the
dark
sky
ordinance
I
think
this
is
a
place
where
developers
would
really
like
Clarity
when
they're
designing,
as
we
saw
it
kind
of
came
up
tonight,
and
we
wouldn't
want
developers
to
have
to
worry
about
what
that
wording
is
going
to
look
like
before
their
plans
are
done,
while
it
will
likely
be
in
the
biodiversity
plan
it
that
has
not
even
started
the
community
input
component.
Yet
so
it's
probably
at
least
a
year
out
for
completion,
and
even
at
that
point
that
won't
write
the
ordinance.
B
It
will
just
recommend
that
we
write
an
ordinance,
so
that'll
still
need
to
be
written
and
be
on
a
work
plan-
I
guess
maybe
in
20
25
26.
So
if
you
would
like
to
get
give
that
Clarity
to
developers
sooner
rather
than
later,
I
would
recommend
prioritizing
it.
The
other
thing
that
I
didn't
hear
brought
up
was
the
possibility
of
a
revenue
measure.
Number
40.
B
I
did
miss
your
last
meeting,
I
apologize
and
then
get
a
chance
to
listen
to
it,
but
through
the
grapevine
I
heard,
maybe
a
possible
reduction
in
park
and
Luffy's
and
as
we
increase
housing
and
density,
we're
going
to
have
more
and
more
people
that
do
not
have
their
own
yard
space
and
green
space
and
we'll
be
looking
for
walkable
green
spaces
places
they
can
walk
to
from
their
front
door.
Throwing
kids
in
the
car
is
a
pain
in
the
butt.
B
R
R
M
J
Yeah
I
can
I
can
start
so
the
way
that
I,
just
because
I
didn't
list
something
doesn't
necessarily
mean
I.
Think
it's
important
I.
The
way
that
I
did
this
from
a
strategic
perspective
was
looking
at
what
things
were
probably
likely
to
happen,
regardless
of
whether
I
prioritize
them
or
not,
because
they're,
maybe
already
in
progress
or
moving
forward
and
I,
really
looked
at
things.
That
I
think
are
important
that
might
not
otherwise
get
prioritized
if
they're,
if
they're
not
put
forward
as
part
of
this
process.
J
J
J
J
J
K
Great
thank
you
madam
chair,
so
I
have
I
think
I
have
like
about
nines
I'll
list
them
out
for
now:
8
9,
10,
11,
12,
14,
22,
34
35.
So,
let's
see
so
eight
is
facilitate
affordable
housing
development
at
the
VTA
Evelyn
site.
Nine
is
Beacon
development
of
a
Moffett
Boulevard
precise
plan.
11
has
develop
a
strategy
to
facilitate
low
and
middle
income
housing
ownership.
B
K
Expand
the
safe
routes
to
school
program
with
a
question
that
was
posed
to
you
as
well
and
relaying
the
requests
to
have
possibly
signage
electronic
at
Grant
and
El
Camino,
indicating
in
the
morning
and
afternoon
hours
of
school
commuters.
Beware
or
watch
for
school
communities
commuters
and
then
34
Implement
strategies
for
a
vibrant
downtown,
including
the
Castro
Pedestrian
Mall
35,
begin
implementation
of
the
economic
Vitality
strategy
plan
with
multiple
projects
in
mind,
and
then
no
one
really
asked
for
this.
K
L
L
I
had
seven,
which
is
looking
at
our
three
and
ten,
which
is
displacement
response
then
for
Mobility,
my
winners
were
16,
the
TDM
Citywide
TDM
and,
of
course,
22
safe
routes
to
school,
that
one's
important
for
a
sustainability
and
climate
I
picked
25
Community
tree
master
plan
for
livability
and
quality
of
life,
I
actually
thought
32
holistic,
Citywide
review
parking
regs
was
worth
doing
for
economic
Vitality
34,
which
is
implementing
strategies
for
vibrant
downtown
I.
Think
that
one's
really
important
and
there's.
L
R
Thank
you
and
I'm,
seeing
a
lot
of
overlap.
I
had
one
for
homelessness.
Seven
for
R3,
like
commissioner
Clark
eight
for
VTA
Evelyn,
nine
for
moffats
10
for
displacement,
13
and
I
could
see
maybe
some
conversation
about
13
and
34
for
a
downtown
19
thinking
about
the
the
grade
separate
grade
separation
at
Castro
26
for
decarbonization.
O
O
All
right,
I'll
start
with
number
one
for
sure
is
number
one:
develop
comprehensive,
homeless,
homelessness,
response
strategy,
the
R3!
So
item
number
seven
proposed
revisions
to
that
item:
number
nine,
the
Moffett
Boulevard
precise
plan
number
10,
the
Implement
displacement
response,
number
11,
the
develop
a
strategy
to
facilitate
low
and
middle
income;
housing
number
20,
the
vision,
zero,
so
I'm
torn
really
between
this
one
and
the
safe
schools.
O
I,
think
I
have
seven
or
six
I
am
supportive
of
the
exploring
the
feasibility
of
the
2024
Revenue
measure.
So
that
would
be
item
number
40.
number
35
as
well.
With
regards
to
the
economic
Vitality
plan,
so
I'm
also
going
with
that
one
in
the
expectation
that
it
will
have
some
sort
of
project
or
Provisions
that
will
address
downtown
storefront
vacancies
and
that
kind
of
you
know
matter
right
now:
I'm
torn
one
of
the
ones
that
I
none
of
my
colleagues
have
mentioned.
O
Yet
is
item
number
15
downtown
office
cap?
You
know
that
would
be
one
where
you
know
I
mean
it
came
up
in
the
last
item.
I
would
be
curious.
You
know
and
Keen
to,
like
you
know,
even
tag
a
note
to
counsel,
maybe
I'll,
just
I,
don't
know
saying
hey!
You
know
why
limit
this
to
downtown?
Why
not
look
at
a
comprehensive
city-wide?
You
know
jobs
to
housing,
linkage
or
moratorium.
Basically,
just
the
amount
of
commercial
space
I
find
problematic,
so
I
mean
I'll
I'll
go
for
that
one!
O
D
Q
D
Been
clemented
a
lot,
the
last
couple
of
months,
I,
don't
know
they're
ready
for
it,
and
the
Dark
Skies
initiative,
ordinance,
I,
would
add
and
then
I
guess,
I
view.
34
is
kind
of
different
than
the
others.
So
I
had
34
with
the
downtown
35
the
economic
fatality
strategy
and
another
one.
That's
not
mentioned
that
kind
of
came
up
in
the
housing
element
was
the
Public
Services
study
number
37
I,
don't
feel
like
we've
adequately
looked
at
our
police
and
fire
needs,
and
so
forth.
So
it'll
be
my
10th.
I
A
Because
I
wanted
to
hear
the
questions,
I
want
to
hear
what
other
people
said
and
I
wish
I
had
a
couple
minutes
to
myself.
So
I
could
rearrange
my
list
here
now
that
I
know
what
has
majority
votes
already
so
I
I'm,
not
100
sure
here,
what's
already
got
the
four
votes
that
we'll
go
through.
If
you
guys
don't
mind
just
going
over
those
that'd
be
great.
M
Absolutely
project
one
developing
a
comprehensive
homelessness
response
strategy
project;
seven,
the
R3
Zone
updates
project,
10,
implementing
displacement
response
strategy,
actions,
project
34,
implementing
strategies
for
a
vibrant,
downtown
and
project
35.
Beginning
implementation
of
the
economic
Vitality
strategic
plan.
A
I'm
gonna
have
to
move
in
a
bit
I
also
I
know:
we've
been
doing
the
housing
element
for
quite
a
while
and
I
know
all
those
are
going
to
be
moving
forward.
So
there
was
a
balance
for
me
of
you
know,
knowing
that
these
are
going
to
get
done,
anyways
regardless.
What
what
we
put
out
and
the
the
upside
is
that
there
is
eight
years
to
do
it
and
so
I
went
ahead
and
took
advantage
of
the
fact
that
it
has
eight
years.
A
But
there
were
a
couple
that
I
wanted
to
highlight
because
in
the
housing
element,
I
feel
like
it's
weighted
very
strongly
towards
density
and
in
fact
there
was
policy
in
there
to
remove
like
Park
funding.
I
know,
there's
a
Nexus
study
involved,
but
I'm
just
concerned
I'm,
broadly
supportive
of
the
ideas
and
Concepts
in
the
housing
element.
I
just
worry
about
the
execution
in
the
unintended
consequences
of
this
ginormous
policy
document,
so
I
did
highlight
a
few
that
I
think
might
balance
out
what
we
need
for
a
functioning
City
with
all
this
density.
A
I
A
A
I
am
a
big
believer
in
precise
plans.
I
know
this
is
heavy
on
the
planning
department,
but
because
we
have
so
much
development
potential
coming
the
best
way
I
can
see
trying
to
manage.
It
is
through
a
precise
plan,
so
number
nine
and
the
downtown
precise
plan
I
believe
was
in
there.
What
number
was
that.
A
A
A
A
M
I'm
I'm
ready
to
share
those
that
have
received
majority
support
project,
one
again:
the
homelessness
response
strategy
project,
seven,
which
is
R3
zoning
project;
nine
development
of
a
Moffett
Boulevard,
precise
plan
project,
10
displacement,
response
strategy,
project,
13,
the
downtown
precise
plan
project,
14,
gatekeeper
process,
project
34,
the
vibrant
downtown,
including
a
Castro
Pedestrian
Mall
and
project
35,
beginning
implementation
of
the
economic
Vitality
strategic
plan,
which
is
a
total
of
seven.
You
did
mention
that
if
you
had
an
extra,
you
would
move
fit
to
implementing
an
online
permanent
system
which
currently
has
three.
P
I
P
M
While
I'm,
not
a
transportation,
planner
or
expert
I,
believe
that
it
would
be
correct
to
characterize
it
as
a
Venn
diagram,
while
the
vision,
zero
plan
would
really
be
primarily
focused
on
infrastructure.
The
safe
routes
to
school
program
does
include
infrastructure
program
projects
rather,
but
the
program
does
focus
on
education
both
of
the
community
and
of
students
and
families,
as
well
as
providing
other
supports
for
making
it
to
school
safely
and
bike
and
pet
routes.
Q
A
A
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
have
one
two,
three
four
five,
six,
seven,
eight
nine
add
nine
and
then
the
hypothetical
right
which
isn't
on
the
list
so
technically
I
can
add
on
another
one.
That's
why
I
look
at
it
right
in
terms
of
2022,
I.
Think
it's
and
I
I
know.
There's
people
out
there
who
go.
Oh
there.
He
goes
again
School
District
stuff,
but
when
I
was
on
the
school
board,
we
knew
that
safe
routes
was
specifically
dedicated
to
the
communities
that
you
just
explained
right,
which
were
families
Outreach
into
the
neighborhoods.
K
The
schools
police
officers
would
show
up.
Our
Chiefs
always
show
up.
They
give
those
lesson
plans
to
the
kids.
These
are
the
ways
that
you
should
go.
What
questions
you
have?
Here's
bicycle
safety.
The
other
program
I'm
not
sure,
deals
with
that
at
that
specific
level
with
that
particular
targeted
community,
and
that's
my
concern.
That's
why
I
didn't
opt
to
vote
for
that
one,
but
rather
22.
the
idea
would
be
to
have
them
both
be
combined,
but
I
think.
The
issue
here
then
lies
in
terms
of
funding.
K
Because
of
that,
and
because
of
recent
events
in
general,
where
I
can
tell
you
every
year,
there's
always
accidents
with
our
middle
schoolers,
going
to
Graham
or
Crittenden
and
for
the
most
part
you
know,
we've
had
at
least
three
of
our
friends
be
part
of
an
accident
where
they're,
fine
and
they're
okay,
but
man
that
was
scary
right.
So
so
that's
my
two
cents
worth
in
terms
of
how
I
looked
at
22
and
the
other
option
right.
So
any
support
for
22
would
be
greatly
appreciated.
K
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
my
instinct
here
is
to
be
Monty
Hall
and
let's
make
a
deal
for
anybody
who
used
to
watch
that
show
I
I'm
happy
to
flip
my
25
to
a
26.
If
that
gets
us
over
the
line,
I
did
want
to
say
on
the
the
question
of
the
of
the
bikes.
I
would
love
it
if
we
could
do
Vision
zero
and
have
that
include
the
schools.
But
I
will
tell
you
when
I
talk
to
folks
I,
don't
hear
people
raise
a
general
question
of
infrastructure.
L
L
M
That
will
not
bring
to
a
total
of
10,
but
that
would
add
one
project.
It
sounds
like
the
current
discussion
is
generally
focused
with
some
mention
also
of
the
decarbonization
plan
on
the
three
items.
Again
that
did
have
three
votes,
which
are
VTA
Evelyn,
as
you
mentioned,
safe
routes
to
school
and
online,
permitting,
which
I
believe
also.
Commissioner
Gutierrez
gave
his
last
vote
to
that
one
so
potentially
of
eight
and
then
also
the
vision,
zero
action
plan,
so
that
leaves
two
projects
to
add
to
the
list
with.
D
A
A
D
I
O
M
That's
a
total
of
10
projects
and
I'd
be
happy
to
read
off
the
the
list.
Please
absolutely
project,
one
homelessness
response
strategy
project:
seven,
our
three
zoning
standards
project:
nine;
a
month
at
Boulevard,
precise
plan
project,
10,
the
displacement
response
strategy
project;
five,
the
downtown
precise
plan
project,
14,
gatekeeper
process,
project,
22,
safe
routes
to
school
project;
26,
decarbonization
plan.
A
O
A
N
A
D
J
J
A
P
R
P
Project,
affordable
housing,
public
storage
project,
so
that
that
came
through
the
EPC
and,
of
course,
coming
up.
We
have
on
April
11th
we're
planning
to
bring
the
housing
element
to
council,
so
stay
tuned
for
that,
in
addition,
also
on
April
11th,
we
are
applying
for
a
PDA
priority,
Development
Area
planning,
Grant,
and
so
we
are
bringing
forward
a
resolution
to
council
to
authorize
that
application
and
so
that
Grant
would
be
used
for
the
downtown
precise
plan.
