E
Before
we
go
into
our
strategic
plan,
I'll
share
that
staff
was
guided
by
the
following
documents
which
are
required
for
us
which
require
us
to
have
certain
priorities
in
the
city.
The
first
document
was
the
proposed
housing
element
that
council
has
reviewed
and
submitted,
as
well
as
our
regional
housing
need
allocation
goals
for
mountain
view
for
the
coming
years,
which
are
listed
here.
E
So
we
need
to
find
ways
to
address
those
gaps
to
help
address
that
those
gaps
and
some
of
the
other
ones
we've
described.
The
strategic
plan
has
four
strategies
which
we'll
go
through
tonight
and
I'll
go
through
them
one
by
one.
In
a
moment,
most
of
the
actions
associated
with
these
strategies
have
been
previously
discussed
with
council
as
part
of
the
housing
element.
So
in
tonight's
conversation
I
will
focus
on
areas
that
we
haven't
yet
had
much
time
to
discuss
with
council.
E
E
E
So
our
first
strategy
has
a
lot
of
items
that
we've
already
discussed
with
council
and,
in
fact,
all
of
the
section
b
strategies
were
discussed
as
part
of
the
housing
element.
So
I
won't
delve
into
that
and
those
mostly
revolve
around
finding
increased
revenue
sources,
but
there
are
two
I'd
like
to
highlight
which
we
haven't
had
a
chance
to
discuss.
E
E
E
The
second
involves
working
with
property
owners
of
both
market
rate
and
affordable
units
to
make
sure
that
they
don't
require
social
security
numbers
on
their
applications
when
they
legally
don't
have
to
which
usually,
there
is
no
legal
reason
for
them
to
have
to
require
this
in
most
cases,
and
this
can
create
an
otherwise
unnecessary
barrier
for
undocumented
households.
So
we'd
like
to
remove
that
as
much
as
possible.
E
The
last
batch
of
actions
relates
to
making
sure
that
displaced
tenants
can
truly
exercise
and
take
advantage
of
replacement
units,
either
by
preventing
them
from
being
permanently
displaced
and
helping
them
secure,
temporary
places
to
stay,
allowing
tenants
to
become
homeowners
when
rentals
are
replaced
with
deed,
restricted,
affordable,
condos
and
looking
into
options
for
households
who
may
have
the
right
to
purchase
an
affordable
condo.
But
for
whom
home
ownership
is
just
not
an
option.
E
A
Thank
you
michaela
for
the
presentation,
since
this
is
a
study
session,
we'll
first
take
public
comment
and
then
return
to
the
council
for
questions
and
for
deliberation.
Would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comments
on
this
item?
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand,
button
and
zoom
or
press
star
9
on
your
phone.
A
timer
will
be
displayed
on
the
screen,
see
how
many
speakers
there
are.
F
This
type
of
leadership
is
an
inspiration
to
other
cities,
is
pushing
pushing
folks
forward
and
staff's
ability
to
really
correlate
the
precarious
nature
of
being
unhoused
with
being
at
that
extremely
low
income
level,
and
bringing
that
data
forward
is
is
critical
to
the
work
that
you're
going
to
be
doing.
I'd
like
to
call
specific
attention
to
action,
1a2
in
the
new
2023
strategic
plan
that
prioritizes
city
needs
and
nofa
projects,
particularly
units
for
households
earning
less
than
30
ami.
F
This
extremely
low
income
household
group
is
incredibly
vulnerable
by
putting
together
the
smart
plan
that
utilizes
city
resources,
as
well
as
a
partnership
through
an
moa
with
the
county
of
santa
clara
you're,
going
to
be
able
to
create
housing
that
helps
the
residents
who
need
who
need
support
and
services.
The
most
destination
home
is
proud
to
be
a
partner
with
the
city.
We've
provided
you
capacity,
building
funds
in
the
past,
and
we
look
forward
to
supporting
these
very,
very
critical
projects
in
the
days
ahead.
Thank
you
again
for
your
leadership
and
support.
G
G
H
Hi,
I
wanted
to
add
my
support
for
the
idea
of
prioritizing
funds
towards
the
very
lowest
income
levels,
the
30,
ami
or
lower
income
levels,
and
I
also
appreciated
the
clarity
in
the
staff
report
that
bmr
rental
units
for
middle
income
can
some
it
depends
on
market
conditions
can
sometimes
be
not
that
different
than
market
conditions.
So
I
appreciated
that
our
market
rents.
H
So
I
appreciated
that
being
acknowledged
and
you
know
not
sure
quite
where
the
action
item
is
there,
I'm
happy
for
our
current
bmr
ordinance
requiring
the
65
average
and
thank
you.
I
look
forward
to
hearing
your
comments
and
also
to
the
2023
study
session
on
displacement,
option
anti-displacement
options.
Thank
you.
I
Hell
as
the
future
neighbor
of
one
of
the
affordable
housing
projects
that
has
already
gotten
some
funding,
I
don't
envy
your
need
to
prioritize.
The
funds
is
a
hard
choice
to
see
which
people
get
the
help
first
and
which
ones
have
to
wait
to
be
able
to
get
housing,
but
I
am
really
glad
to
have
people
like
you
doing
this,
making
these
hard
choices
and
doing
the
work
to
try
to
get
people
into
homes.
So
thank
you.
J
Evening,
council,
my
name
is
kevama
I'll,
be
representing
the
league
of
women
voters.
Today,
in
our
letter
we
mentioned
that
we
were
wondering
that
this
is
this
process
is
perhaps
a
little
bit
redundant
with
the
housing
element,
given
that
many
of
the
actions
are
in
the
housing
element.
That
was
just
submitted
a
few
months
the
last
two
months
ago.
J
As
for
the
actions
in
the
plan
given
today,
we
support
them
all
especially
support
the
social
security
number
alternatives,
because
we
have
heard
that
has
been
a
barrier
potential
in
the
past,
as
well
as
the
writer
of
first
refusal.
Since
we
have
seen
cases
where
sometimes
sp330
did
not
give
enough
guidance
about
how
to
deal
with
situations
such
as,
where
do
people
stay
during
demolition
and
rebuilding
on
3a
1
the
housing
help
center.
J
J
It
has
been
brought
up
multiple
times
in
the
housing
process
that
many
people
want
to
see
it
done
and
putting
it
to
a
2023
study
session
seems
a
little
bit
distant
or
a
little
bit
too
vague
at
this
point,
and
that
this
plan
should
be
not
considered
disconnected
from
other
plans
such
as
the
housing
element
and
its
emphasis
on
housing
production,
because,
as
we
talk
about
how
we're
using
funding
on
those
that
need
it
most,
we
probably
don't
want
to
think
about
subsidizing
those
making
median
income
at
this
moment.
Thank
you.
L
Great
hi,
I'm
leanne
ramos,
with
silicon
valley
at
home,
we
are
affordable
at
a
housing
advocacy
organization
committed
to
creating
a
silicon
valley
where
everyone
has
access
to
housing
they
can
afford.
We
want
to
commend
city
staff
and
this
council
for
prioritizing
and
creating
a
strategic
plan
for
affordable
housing.
L
This
takes
deliberate
planning,
recognizing
the
need
for
additional
resources
and
protecting
renters
from
displacement.
We
look
forward
to
his
continued
leadership
as
it
develops
innovative,
affordable
housing
preservation
strategies.
We
are
proud
to
work
with
the
city
on
many
of
these
priorities
and
related
strategies,
including
the
anti-displacement
policy
and
the
zoning
reforms
that
will
come
before
you.
We
are
particularly
proud
to
have
recently
begun
a
two-year
partnership
with
the
city
to
tackle
many
of
these
issues
through
the
partnerships
based
future
two-year
grant.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
N
Thank
you
very
much
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
This
is
mary
hotter.
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
for
the
city
generally
and
the
council.
One
is
how
many
naturally
affordable
units
have
been
removed
from
the
city
of
mountain
view
over
the
last
15
years
and
how
many
affordable
units
have
been
added.
In
other
words,
what
is
our
net
number?
N
N
N
Would
the
city
consider
incentivizing
owners
of
existing
other
types
of
properties
that
could
be
converted
to
affordable
housing,
with
a
property
tax,
break
and
funds
to
do
the
conversion
in
exchange
for
a
multi-year
contract,
maintaining
affordable
rents?
And
lastly,
would
the
city
consider
capping,
affordable
rents
on
a
square
footage
price,
as
well
as
the
total
rent
price?
I
ask
this
because
appodments
can
be
shoehorned
into
affordable
pricing
and
claimed
to
be
affordable,
and
yet
they
are
fairly
unaffordable
by
square
foot
price.
A
O
O
P
Council,
member
hicks,
I
I
could
respond
our
teacher
vostova
assistant
city
manager
and
community
development
director.
We
haven't
started
that
project.
Yet
our
plan
is
to
begin
that
once
the
housing
element
is
adopted
and
it's
on
our
it's
on
our
plan,
we
have
a
number
of
projects.
Staff
will
be
working
on,
but
we
thank
you
for
providing
this
information
because
it
will
help
us
target
the
condom,
mapping
strategy
to
exactly
what
the
council
wishes
to
see
and
we
can
bring
options
for
council
to
review
once
we
begin
the
project.
O
Hey,
thank
you,
yeah
I'd
love
to
I'd
love
to
make
sure
that
it
does
that
we're
putting
the
pieces
in
place
that
actually
make
it
produce
what
we
want
and
and
not
that
it's
you
know
that
they're
mapped
and
that
there
are
no
results.
So
I'd
love
to
hear
some
sort
of
dashboard
or
way
reporting
back
to
make
sure
that
that's
actually
happening.
O
Then
another
question:
this
is
a
displacement
policy
question.
Do
you
have
any
comments
on
the
way
replacement
units
under
sb,
330
and
the
state
density
bonus
are
overlapping
instead
of
additive?
Is
there
can
you
think
of
any?
Is
that
a
concern
to
you
and
do
you
have
any
ways
of?
If,
if
so,
do
you
have
in
mind
any
ways
to
kind
of
repair
that
or
make
it
work
better?.
P
Councilmember,
I
could
respond
again.
We
it's
very
clear
by
state
poor
state
law
that
the
requirements
for
all
three
state
density
bonus,
sp,
330
and
bmr
requirements
are
not
additive
they're.
They
can
all
be
counted
towards
all
three
requirements
as
long
as
the
unit
meets
the
most
restrictive
requirements.
P
This
is
state
law
and
I
we
did
ask
why
it
ended
up
being
this
way
and
we're
told
that
in
the
deliberations
the
state
legislators
were
concerned
about
the
impacts
and
the
financial
impacts
of
housing,
and
they
did
not
want
to
see
housing
production
stopped,
and
so
they
they
were
trying
to
balance
all
these
issues
and
and
that's
the
reason
why
we
ended
up
where
we
were
so.
This
isn't
what
the
city
is
requiring.
This
is
a
state
requirement.
O
I
guess
the
reason
I'm
asking
is:
if
we
were
to
do
like
a
local
sb
330
like
ordinance
or
anything
else
along
those
lines.
Would
you
would
you
be
concerned
about
the
fact
that
they're
overlapping?
Would
you
want
to
duplicate
that
or
do
you
kind
of
agree
with
the
way
the
state
was
leaning
that
anything
more
would
would
prohibit
housing
production.
P
I
think
we
haven't
yet
started
tackling
that,
but
we
will
be
asking
these
questions,
but,
based
on
the
state's
you
know,
determination
of
bmr,
we
don't
see
a
city,
a
speed330
style
requirement
being
any
different,
and
maybe
wayne
can
answer
a
little
bit
more
about
how
other
cities
that
are
look
that
might
have
some
replacement
requirements.
Have
these
issues,
but
I
think
overall,
we
plan
to
tackle
a
lot
of
these
questions
and
bring
bring
some
of
the
responses
and
issues
back
to
you
in
march.
Q
Provision
which
allows
cities
to
have
rent
stabilization
programs
to
enact
provisions
that
cities
that
don't
have
such
a
program
may
not
be
able
to
do
so.
We
will
be
really
taking
a
look
at
addressing
our
rent
stabilized
housing
stock
in
terms
of
the
displacement
response,
especially
because
that
has
been
the
majority
of
the
redevelopment
projects
over
the
last
few
years.
So
we
we
will
be
looking
at
that
ls
act,
ordinance
framework
as
well
as
part
of
our
analysis
and
what
options
we
may
have,
and
the
council
may
wish
to
consider.
O
O
I'm
wondering
whether
some
of
the
I
understand
that
they're
not
going
to
do
them
immediately
because
they
their
office
is
there
right
now,
but
with
the
abundance
of
remote
work,
I'm
wondering
whether
we
could
get
those
whether
there
would
be
a
way
of
interacting
with
them
and
getting
those
a
little
sooner
by
you
know.
If,
if
they're
all,
I
can
just
name
a
number,
but
if
all
the
offices
are
50
full,
maybe
some
of
them
could
become
100
full
and
we
could
get
those
properties
moving
forward
a
little
earlier.
P
P
O
I'm
just
wondering
with
originally
I
heard
that
the
obstacle
was
that
they
needed
to
build
new
offices
before
vacating
the
old
offices
and
then
building
the
affordable
housing
there.
Since
there's
so
much
remote
and
hybrid
work.
I'm
wondering
whether
they
could
vacate
the
offices
earlier
and
whether
we
could
move
that
up
at
all.
Whether
conditions
have
changed
at
all
and
whether
there's
been
any
discussion
around
that.
P
We
have
discussed
it
a
little
bit.
I
think
the
the
world
of
return
to
work
is
a
is
a
is
a
quickly
shifting
issue
and
companies
are
looking
at.
Oh
now
we
need
everybody
back
or
maybe
we
don't-
and
you
know,
they're
not
changing
the
strategy
at
this
point,
because
I
I
don't
think
they
know
what
it's
going
to
be
in
the
long
run,
they
feel
more
comfortable
with
the
one
they
have,
and
so
at
this
point
they
are
not
inclined
to
make
any
changes
to
the
delivery.
O
R
P
R
I
was
just
thinking
you
know,
I
think
they
asked
for
20
years,
and
maybe
we
should
be
looking
at
condensing
that
timeline.
At
least
you
know
from
our
our
position
negotiating
it
yeah
from
from
that
perspective,
so
just
a
thought
and
and
then
going
back
to
vice
mayor's
other
comment
about
a
speak
330.
So
from
the
way
I
read
it,
it
sounds
like
we're
not
getting
more
units.
It's
just
now.
R
P
R
P
R
R
So
I'm
wondering
if,
if
we
do
a
local
sp,
330
lite
ordinance
when
we
max
like
there'll,
be
a
max
out
percentage
and
my
sense
is
it's
probably
in
the
20
range,
because
we've
had
this
conversation
when
we
were
doing
north
bay
shore-
and
you
know-
I
wanted
25
out
there
and
was
told
by
the
housing.
Even
the
housing
advocates
that
we
couldn't
go
above
20.
So
is
that
still?
Is
that
your
sense
of
where
this
will
end
up
going.
P
I
think
if
we
continue-
and
we
this
is
part
of
what
we
might
want
to
study
and
bring
back
to
you,
but
our
sense
is
based
on
what
we're
seeing
today
at
some
point,
the
replacement
requirements
make
projects
infeasible,
okay
and
the
the
flip
side
is.
We
are
now
retaining
some
of
the
csfre
units
that
were
being
torn
down,
so
there
is
sort
of
a
mixed
benefit.
There.
R
Right,
yes,
right
if
they
don't
get
torn
down
to
for
right,
right,
yeah,
great,
so
going
staying
on
the
state
legislation
issue.
I
know
I
traded
emails
with
staff
and
I
appreciate
staff
at
advocacy
on
av
2011,
the
wix
bill
about
the
number
of
pieces
to
it,
but
we
I
I
noticed-
and
I've
been
talking
to
our
sunnyvale
mayor
about
it
too-
the
the
concern
that
that
could
actually
lower
our
the
net,
the
percentage
of
bmr
units
that
we
could
require.
R
I
I'm
not
sure
where
the
I
heard
the
bill
pass,
the
state
senate,
but
in
light
of
that,
do
we
need
to
look
at.
Could
we
would
we
possibly
need
to
look
at
revising
our
inclusionary
requirement?
I
think
the
issue
was
that
they
have
specific
categories
of
extremely
low
income:
very
low
income,
low
income
like
units
of
percentage
in
each
category-
and
we
don't
have
that-
I
think-
and
so
that
would
actually
potentially
reduce
the
number
of
units
or
the
percentage
of
units
we
could
require.
R
R
P
R
Okay,
well,
I
mean,
I
think,
we've
always
wanted
more
units
too.
So
that's
a
that's
kind
of
counterproductive
to
our
current
ordinance
regarding
the
commercial
linkage
fee.
I
know
in
the
past,
when
we've
looked
at
changing
fees,
we've
always
had
to
grandfather
in
certain
projects
and
I'm
interested
in
how
we
could
potentially
minimize
that
if
we,
if
we
choose
to
move
forward
with
a,
I
think,
we're
gonna,
I'm
assuming
we're
gonna
have
to
do
a
new
nexus
study.
But
given
that
time
lag,
I
remember
I
forget
what
other
fees
we.
Q
Thank
you
for
the
question,
so
you
are
correct.
We
would
have
to
do
an
updated
nexus
study
and
as
part
of
that
evaluation,
we
could
take
the
council
input
and
do
an
evaluation
in
terms
of
a
grandfathering
provision
that
is
fair
for
the
projects
in
the
pipeline,
but
also
evaluating
the
a
way
to
maximize
a
new
fee.
And
so
we
will
include
that
as
part
of
an
evaluation
and
should
come
back
to
council.
It
would
include
a
recommendation
on
grandfathering.
R
P
Yeah,
I
think
we
might
have
to
hear
back
from
from
you
know
our
outreach
to
see
how
we
can
sort
of
balance
that
out,
because
if,
if
projects
don't
move
forward,
then
we
don't
get
the
fees.
On
the
other
hand,
we
also
want
to
want
to
maximize
the
our
ability
to
you
know,
have
it
applied
to
the
newer
projects
and
we've
always
tried
to
thread
that
needle
so
we're
able
to
get
a
balance
of
the
two.
R
R
Q
Sure
there
have
been
joint
powers,
authorities
that
have
been
formed
in
recent
years
and
one
of
them
is
cal
cha,
another
one
is
cscda
and
we
have
had
the
opportunity
to
evaluate
a
couple
of
projects.
One
under
each
program
and
basically
the
entities
do
is
identify
acquisition
opportunities,
as
you
were
saying,
they're,
not
deed,
restricted
and
then,
as
part
of
the
process.
R
Great,
thank
you
very
much.
You
can
explain
that
way
more
than
better
than
I
could
and
then.
My
final
question
is
when
we
someone
mentioned
the
housing
element-
and
maybe
some
of
this
is
duplicative,
but
my
concern
when
we
were
doing
the
housing
element
was
actually
you
know
what
our
commitment
would
be
if
we
included
these
items
in
the
housing
element.
R
R
But
did
we
say
explore
these
items
or
we
yeah
versus
you
know,
saying
we're
going
to
do
these
items,
and
I
will
say
too
that
I'm
a
little
hesitant,
including
even
exploring
because
I've
noticed
at
the
regional
level,
sometimes
exploring
means
we're
going
to
do
it
and
that's
what
the
the
regional
bodies
start
to
interpret
it
to
me
so
yeah.
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
or
if
you
can
clarify
what
our
real
commitment
is
with
the
housing
element.
P
Council
member
just
I'll
just
preface
this
by
saying
we
have
the
same
concerns
because
acd
is
requiring
us
to
be
more
and
more
assertive
in
our
language.
It's
not
enough
for
them
to
say.
Oh
we'll
study
this,
and
it
may
not
happen
right
and
that's
why,
as
staff
we
had.
We
had
mentioned
this
to
the
council
that
if
a
city
says
they
will
do
this
in
the
housing
element,
then
they
will
be
required
to
do
it
or
we're
going
to
have
to
have
to
answer
in
some
way
or
have
an
out
of
compliance
right
element.
P
We
have
used
the
word
explorer
we're
waiting
for
hcd
to
respond
to
our
draft.
We
haven't
yet
had
a
meeting
scheduled
because
they're
waiting
to
finish
reading
our
our
draft
before
they
schedule
a
meeting
with
us
and
we'll
know
more
about
it
at
that
time,
so
we
might
recommend
some
changes
way
or
the
other,
but
we
will
have
to
make
sure
we
discuss
this
with
acd
and
have
some
some
acknowledgement
that
it's
okay
with
them,
because
in
the
end
we
want
a
a
housing
element
that
is
endorsed
by
them.
R
I
just
don't
want
us
to
go
down.
You
know
I'll
pick
like
the
copa
topa
item.
I've
heard
some
concerns
at
the
regional
level
about
those
programs
that
they
may
not
work
for
everybody.
So
if
it
doesn't
work
for
mountain
view,
can
we
take
it
out
is
likely
the
question
it
sounds
like
we
have
the
second
shot
at
the
housing
element
to
do.
That
is
that.
S
S
Great
thank
you,
so
I
think,
as
we're
kind
of
talking
about
the
different
strategies,
I
think
what
have
we
been
or
how
have
we
been
tracking
the
different
housing
legislation
bills
and
how
they
might
play
into
the
strategy.
So
I
know
council,
member
abi
kuka
brought
up
the
wicks
bill.
I
think
we're
gonna
see
over
the
next.
What
is
it
two
days
that
the
governor
has
left
left
to
to
sign
and
then
we
prepare
for
the
next
legislative
session?
I
mean
what
are
the
things?
P
You
know
to
have
some
kind
of
criteria
that
recognizes
this,
so
that
that's
our
big
wish
list
and
we
have
the
same
same
issues
on
transportation
as
well,
and
it's
it's
good
that
mtc's
doing
this,
because,
if
they're
expecting
a
lot
of
housing
to
be
built,
we
want
the
support
in
terms
of
transit.
So
those
are
the
those
are
the
major
items
and
I
don't
know
wayne
if
you
have
any
other.
Q
Agree
at
the
at
the
end
of
the
day,
funding
is
the
most
important
piece
to
accomplishing
all
the
local
city
goals,
including
mountain
views,
which
includes
new
production,
acquisition,
preservation
and
other
efforts
that
we
want
to
undertake.
And
I
think
you're
right,
because
we
are
tracking
the
regional
measure
through
baka
and
that
will
go
through
a
ballot
initiative
process.
Q
And
if
it
passes,
we
are
tracking
that
closely
and
we
want
to
be
able
to
work
with
folks
on
an
expenditure
plan,
because
the
legislation
that
enables
bafa
ab1467,
which
really
is
addressing
the
three
p's
production
preservation
and
protection,
aligns
with
many
of
the
items
that
we're
discussing.
And
so
that
will
be
a
great
opportunity.
Should
it
pass.
T
T
I
I
understand
from
the
report
that
it's
an
ongoing
process
and
that
certainly
makes
sense,
because
there's
so
many
things
that
feed
into
it
that
are
changing
all
the
time,
but
in
terms
of
of
having
in
you
know,
as
a
staff
in
terms
of
having
in
your
mind,
when
will
you
have
a
sort
of
a
funding
plan
that
you
feel
is
really
what
you
need
and
and
what
do
you
need
to
get
there?
And
so
I
I
wondered
if
you
could
talk
about
that,
a
little
bit.
Q
Q
One
of
the
big
pieces
that
we
are
working
on
is
our
breakthrough
grant,
and
that
is
a
two-year
process.
And
then
our
breakthrough
grant
includes
developing
an
affordable
housing
funding
strategy.
So
it's
very
much
an
alignment
with
what
we
are
talking
about
and
we
have
some
goals
for
the
two-year
process,
which
would
include
discussions
with
potential
partners,
whether
the
private
sector
or
philanthropy,
as
well
as
with
public
sector
partners.
Q
So
we
we
do
envision
that
the
partnership
approach
will
be
something
we
will
have
to
monitor,
because
we
can't
necessarily
plan
out
how
those
discussions
will
go,
but
we
do
hope
that
we
could
have
some
some
progress
in
in
the
next
two
years.
Let
me
pause
there
and
see
if
mikayla
has
anything
to
to
add.
E
T
Okay,
well,
of
course,
if
there's
anything
that
the
council
can
do
to
assist
with
that,
you
should
call
on
us,
we
will,
we
will
do
whatever
we
can
to
help
and
then
the
other
question
I
have
is
a
little
more
technical.
I
was
talking
to
a
constituent
who
knows
a
lot
about
affordable
housing
and
asking
about
advocacy,
and
one
of
the
things
that
was
he
brought
up
was
the
idea
that
you
know
there's
a
there's,
a
cap
for
tax
credits
and
it's
and
it's
divvied
up
by
state
and
california.
T
Apparently
in
california,
we
use
all
of
our
tax
credit
credits.
There
aren't
any
extra
ones
floating
around,
but
there
are
states
that
don't
and
so
advocating
for
the
ability
to
move
tax
credits
that
aren't
being
utilized
from
out
from
states
that
aren't
being
utilized
to
states
that
need
them.
It's
something
that
apparently
has
in
the
past
has
had
some
bipar
partisan
support.
So
that
might
be
something.
Q
We
would
be
happy
to
add
this
to
the
list
and
potentially
connect
with
our
legislative
advocacy
firm,
as
well
as
our
affordable
housing
consultants
who
assist
us
with
nova
projects
who
have
a
lot
of
familiarity
with
this
very
technical
component.
In
addition
to
the
federal
program,
the
state
also
does
issue
its
own
state
tax
credit
program.
So
that's
another
potential
area
that
we
can
add
to
the
list.
Q
T
Yeah,
well,
I
I
know
from
my
brief
service
on
the
alta
housing
board
that
those
tax
credits
are
are
just
very,
very
valuable
ways
to
fund
affordable
housing.
So
anything
we
can
do
to
advocate
to
move
that
money
around
under
the
cap
or
or
I
also
think,
increase
the
cap.
It's
it's
a
you
know,
it's
a
good
idea.
Okay,
thank
you.
Those
are
my
questions.
T
U
Thank
you
mayor.
Well,
I'm
so
appreciative
of
staff's
efforts
on
this.
It's
very
high
level
of
work,
that's
being
done
and
a
huge
amount
of
work.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
I'm
really
proud
of
our
council
for
having
the
appetite
to
get
more
housing
in
in
mountain
view
and
to
move
forward
on
these
questions.
U
E
E
The
developer
will
have
to
follow
all
the
laws
that
are
in
place
at
the
time.
So,
for
example,
if
sb
330
were
in
place,
they
would
have
to
follow
all
the
rules
relating
to
first
right
of
refusal
for
the
tenants
that
are
being
displaced
if
they
are
low
income.
Tenants
in
this
case,
because
it
wouldn't
be,
they
wouldn't
be
rent
controlled
units,
so
it
would
be
in
place
for
low
income
tenants,
and
in
that
case
we
have
some
of
our
you
know.
E
Existing
our
trails
is
exists
for
this
there's
some
existing
opportunities
for
those
tenants,
but
we
are
also
exploring
getting
some
outside
funds
to
help
those
tenants
to
perhaps
afford
to
buy
an
affordable
condo
when
they
return
and
also
looking
to
partner
with
developers
to
you
know,
is
there
a
temporary
place
for
those
tenants
to
go
in
the
meantime?
So
those
are
two
areas
where
we're
trying
to
bridge
that
gap
so
that
people
can
take
advantage
of
that
opportunity
when
those
arise.
U
Great-
and
I
think
an
issue
that
sometimes
comes
up
in
our
area
is
for
individuals
who
can
afford
to
purchase
through
putting
together
a
lot
of
different
puzzle
pieces,
but
then
may
not
have
the
money
for
a
large,
a
large
maintenance
expense
that
accrues
to,
for
example,
an
hoa
way
down
the
road
and
so
would
be
faced
with
the
loss
of
their
unit.
And
so,
if
I
could
put
a
bug
in
your
ear
about
having
a
fund
for
that
kind
of
thing.
I
think
that
would
be
very
helpful.
Q
Thanks
for
the
question
regarding
the
last
aspect
of
your
question
per
council
input
on
the
housing
element
and
through
the
breakthrough
grant
process,
we
will
be
studying
these
opportunity
to
purchase
act
programs.
They
go
by
a
couple
of
different
names
and
types.
One
of
them
is
a
community
opportunity
purchase
act
which
is
typically
geared
towards
non-profit
developers
being
able
to
have
an
opportunity
to
to
to
bid
on
on
sites,
but
the
other
type
of
program
is
called
topa.
Q
U
Okay,
great
and
I
I
know
that
there
are
some
people
in
the
attendees
box
who
do
have
the
the
networks
out
there
to
communicate
with
our
residents
that
are
in
the
parks,
and
I
just
want
to
assure
them
that
it's
something
that
we
are
thinking
about
for
the
for
the
future
and
we're
not
gonna,
let
that
out
of
our
sight
at
any
point
in
time.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
that
information.
O
E
A
There
are
other
ideas
that
that
feels
like
the
best
way
to
make
sure
we
can
gauge
whether
there's
majority
support
for
for
the
totality
of
the
strategy
and
then
the
housing
element
items
we
can
certainly
discuss.
But
I
think
we
do
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
all
of
them
are
already
in
the
housing
element.
Draft
and
after
we
receive
the
comment
letter
from
each
cd,
we'll
have
another
opportunity
and
a
future
study
session
to
make
modifications
to
those
items.
T
N
I
had
a
great
discussion
with
staff
yesterday
had
the
opportunity
to
ask
a
lot
of
questions
and
got
a
lot
of
answers,
and,
but
I
I
do
want
to
add
a
few
comments
that
are
just
general
and
I'll,
do
that
now.
First,
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
that
great
staff
report.
I
mentioned
this
when
we
got
together.
I
want
to
do
it
publicly
because
I
so
appreciated
the
charts.
N
I
can't
tell
you
how
much
I
appreciated
those
I
keep
on
asking
for
summary
charts
and
it
was
in
that
report.
So
thank
you
for
that.
It
was
great.
You
know
in
general.
I
actually
agree
with
all
of
staff's
recommendations.
I
don't
feel
the
need
to
go
through
all
of
these
in
great
detail,
because
I
appreciate
staff's
thought
and
consideration
of
these
and
putting
it
in
the
proposal.
N
N
We
had
a
good
discussion
about
funding
and,
while
I
know
they're
looking
at
every
single
opportunity
for
additional
funding,
I
think
it's
still
going
to
be
challenging
and
I
would
hate
for
hcd
to
sort
of
ding
us
on
this,
because
we
couldn't
find
the
funding
to
do
something.
And
that
is
definitely
my
biggest
concern
and
I
I
don't
think
the
city
should
be
going
into
the
housing
business.
N
A
R
Thank
you
mayor.
I
I
guess
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
what
list
we're
gonna
go
through
and
if
it's
a
summary
table
in
the
staff
report,
it's
a
lot.
Okay,
I
I
guess
I
I
don't
have
a
I
mean.
I
have
a
few
items
that
I
wanted
to
point
out,
but
overall
I
agree
with
councilmember
matacek
number
one.
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
their
your
hard
work.
This
great
staff
report.
I
had
a
really
great
briefing
with
staff
this
morning.
R
We
did
a
super
deep
dive
and
got
into
the
weeds
and
geeked
out
on
affordable
housing.
So
I
didn't
feel
very
comfortable
with
a
lot
of
the
items
that
are
suggested,
but
I
guess
I
just
had
some
comments
on
a
few
items.
So
could
I
make
that
now
or
do
you
want
me
to
actually
pull
the
items?
Just
pull
the
items.
A
R
Okay,
well,
so
let
me
throw
one
out
and
see
which,
which
is
which
side
this
falls
on
falls
on,
so
the
funding
funding
piece.
I
think
it's
the
first
item
action
item.
I
support
supporting
and
you've
heard
me
say
this.
I
support
us
supporting
the
regional
funding
measure
that
baffa
bay
area
housing
financing
authority
is
putting
is
moving
forward
on
I'm
on
that
committee.
As
you
know,
we've
moved
from
quarterly
meetings
to
monthly
meetings,
we're
really
targeting
2024.
To
do
this.
R
I
know
our
staff
and
wayne
is
and
already
have
been
talking
to
the
office
staff.
So
that's
my
hope
is
that
we
can
continue
to
engage
and
helped
shape
the
measure
from
what
it's
sounding
like
right
now
would
be
a
bond
measure
and
for
santa
clara
county
1.2
billion
dollars
for
san
jose
alone
and
1.2
billion
for
all
the
other
small
city,
the
14
cities,
calculating
that
out.
I
think,
if
I
did
my
math
right,
that
would
be
about
800
880
million
or
even
a
million.
R
R
I
just
want
to
you
know
like
limit
the
staff
work
being
done
on
something
like
that
and,
let's
just
put
in
I
know
at
the
regional
level,
they're
asking
us,
you
know
all
the
cities
to
support
the
regional
measure,
so
I
don't
want
to
do
anything
that
would
contradict
that.
So
I
don't
know
where
that
would
fall,
but
that
would
be
my
first
point.
V
A
P
A
R
V
R
R
R
Are
we
just
haven't
done
much,
and
you
know
more
and
more
as
I
learn
about
what
rents
are
for
the
like,
the
newer
apartments,
you
know
if
you
can
afford
those
rents,
I
think
you
can
afford
a
mortgage,
but
the
real
challenge
for
now
versus
when
I
bought
25
years
ago
is
the
down
payment
requirement
of
20,
and
I
think
we
can.
You
know
we
can
we're
like
150
000
a
door
on
an
affordable
housing
unit.
R
R
R
We
actually
had
a
bmr
ownership
unit
over
on
rock
street
and
the
the
price
of
that
unit
was
actually
higher
than
the
market
prices
for
a
similar
unit.
So
it
ended
up
the
city
had
to
buy
that
unit
from
the
owner
because
the
owner
couldn't
sell
it
given
all
the
restrictions.
So
I
have
some
real
concerns
with
vmware
ownership.
As
a
result
of
that
situation,
you
know
things
have
changed,
but
as
we
look
at
the
you
know,
yeah
look
at
bmr
ownership.
R
I
really
want
us
to
look
at
that
because-
and
you
know,
look
at
the
fluctuations
based
on
the
market
because
I
don't
want
us
to
be
in
the
situation
where
we
have
to
buy
bmr
units
back
from
people,
and
someone
said
I
don't
want
us
to
be
in
the
housing
industry
like
that's,
not
our
job.
So
that's
one
thing
I
would
take
out.
Maybe
I
don't
know
if
it's
taking
out
but
just
kind
of
flagging.
A
E
R
I
I
guess
I
would
just
like
to
de-prioritize
it.
I
think
we
have
and
that
to
me
like
this
list
is
great.
You
know
in
a
perfect
world
where
we
have
like
10
more
10
times
more
staff,
we
could
probably
do
it
all,
but
given
our
limitations
like,
I
just
don't
see
this
as
a
priority,
so
I
know
there's
been
some
work
done
in
this
area,
but
I
just
want
to
you
know
kind
of
flag,
this
situation
that
happened,
that
was,
you,
know,
negative
impact.
A
S
Great
thanks
mayor
so
I'll
just
answer.
I
think
the
two
questions
I
just
have
comments
nothing.
I
want
to
pull
so
I
do
agree
with
the
staff's
recommendations.
I
want
to
echo
the
thanks.
I
thought
it
was
really
clearly
written
staff
report.
I
loved
the
thorough
analysis
after
five
years.
I
think
my
suggestion
would
be
that
we
do
this
routinely
as
a
council,
because
I
think
things
are
ever
changing
and
as
we're
seeing
more
legislation
at
the
state
and
hopefully
opportunities
to
get
more
funding
partner
for
more
funding.
S
I
think
this
is
an
important
conversation
to
continue.
So
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
think
what
I
appreciated
most
was
the
timing
element
where
there
was
the
me
the
action
with
the
timing
in
terms
of
what's
immediate,
what's
more
long
term,
we
often
get,
I
think,
as
feedback
that
there's
a
nebulous
timeline.
S
S
You
know,
I
think,
while
some
of
these
programs
are
of
interest,
you
know
they
can
be
administrative,
heavy
and
so
doing,
partnerships
with
nonprofits
or
others
who
are
more
well-versed
in
you
know,
co-ops
community
owned
ownership,
I
think,
would
be
the
the
way
to
go,
and
I
want
to
continue
seeing
that
and
learning
more
and
hopefully,
when
this
comes
back
to
council,
we
can
get
a
fuller
picture
there.
I
appreciate
the
the
comments
about
a
down
payment
program.
S
I
think
that's
something
that
we
have
looked
at
for
our
city
employees
and
it
makes
sense
for
us
to
be
looking
at
for
our
residents
as
well
interest.
You
know
I
don't
know
if
that
needs
a
formal
addition
to
the
strategy
item,
but
it
is
of
interest
to
me
because
it's
about
the
down
payment,
plus
the
property
tax
twice
a
year
right,
and
so
what
people
can
pay
the
the
monthly
mortgage
just
that
large
percentage,
those
chunks
of
funding
can
be
difficult
and
then
for
the
displacement
for
strategy.
S
Four,
you
know
for
item
one
with
the
copa,
topa
community
land
trust
options.
I'm
also
interested
to
to
hear
if
there
are
there's
anything
else
out
there.
You
know.
I
know
that
these
are
items
that
we've
talked
about
as
a
council
before,
but
as
many
jurisdictions
across
the
state
are
trying
to
be
creative.
Should
staff
learn
more
about
different
programs
that
are
out
there
or
different
partnerships?
S
I
I'm
interested
in
how
our
affordable
housing
strategic
plan,
our
housing
element,
as
well
as
our
r3,
update,
all
talk
to
each
other.
I
think
we
are
working
on
all
three
of
these
different
plans
in
tandem
and
there
there
is
overlap.
There's
different,
I
would
say
levers
that
we
can
use
and,
for
example,
for
you
know,
middle
income
strategy.
Two
one
of
the
things
I'm
most
interested
in
is
a
variety
of
housing.
S
As
you
know,
displacement
which
I
mentioned
is
of
high
interest
to
me,
so
I'm
hoping
that
we're
thinking
them
of
them-
and
I've
mentioned
this
before
as
puzzle
pieces
for
the
overall
housing
crisis
that
we're
in
versus
things
that
aren't
talking
to
each
other,
and
I
know
that
there's
staff
overlap
on
many
of
them,
but
I
would
love
to
to
be
able
to
find
ways
to
couch
those
other
plans
in
the
communications
as
we're
talking
about
these
items.
So
we're
not
discussing
that
in
silos.
A
O
Well,
I
agree
with
that
set
of
comments
as
well,
and
it
allows
me
to
shorten
mine
so
so,
just
in
the
well
first,
I
want
to,
as
other
people
have
said,
thanks
staff
for
a
very
comprehensive
and
thoughtful
staff
report.
You
know
it
helped
me
out
a
lot
and,
and
was
you
know,
engaging
and
fun
to
read
and
fun
to
talk
to
you
about
in
addition
to
that,
I'm
thinking
in
the
in
the
interest
of
time.
O
O
O
O
I
think
this
is
something
that
that
both
the
a
whole
set
of
well
housing,
justice,
people
and
mobile
home
people,
people
involved
in
those
mobile
home
park-
people
involved
in
those
two
communities
have
brought
up
to
me-
is
very
important
to
them.
So
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
someone
told
me
they
would
be
here
tonight,
but
I
don't
see
them
commenting,
but
so
I
don't
want
those
to
be
seen
as
too
difficult
to
do.
O
I
agree
we
don't
want
to
be
in
the
housing
business
and
when
I
worked
with
land
trust
in
the
past,
with
the
city
of
berkeley
in
the
city
of
oakland,
it
was
a.
It
was
a
non-profit
that
did
it
as
a
separate
item
as
a
part
of
our
housing
strategy.
Neither
of
those
cities
themselves
did
it.
So
with
that,
I
would
say
that
I
you
know,
I
I
endorsed
the
staff
report
and
the
recommendations
made.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
ectoween.
I
think
what
council
member
mata
check
started
with
very
similarly,
I
really
appreciate
the
staff
report
and
presentation
and
also
really
like
the
the
summary
table.
It
is
very
helpful
just
to
help
organize
thought
and,
like
everyone
else,
I
think
the
strategy
broadly
is
very
good.
So
what
we'll
start
with
then
is?
There
are
three
items
for
consideration
separately,
two
items
on
the
strategy
or
in
the
strategy
that
that
we
may
modify
or
remove
and
then
a
new
item
for
consideration.
A
So
one
point,
eight
point:
one
and
one
point
b,
point
two
and
then
the
down
payment
equity
share
program
we'll
consider
separately,
but
first,
let's
take
a
quick
straw,
pull
on
everything
else
in
the
strategy,
and
it
sounds
like
everything.
Everyone
is
supportive
of
everything
else,
but
just
to
be
certain
raise
hands
one
two,
three,
four:
five,
so
that
the
balance
of
the
strategy
has
unanimous
support.
So
thank
you,
staff,
we'll
start
with
1.8.1
councilmember
showalter.
I
think
you
had
suggested
that
we
pull
this.
T
T
You
know
it's
within
our
ability
to
do.
I
I
want
to
be
able
to
consider
that.
So
that's
what
I'm
concerned
about
and
so
to
me
it's
it's
it's
it's
the
definition
of
what
pause
is
and
and
and
for
me
is
it.
Is
it
just
a
change
in
priorities?
I
want
to
check
in
with
everybody
about
that.
You
know
that
they
agree
with
that
that
it's
basically
a
change
in
priorities.
It's
not
that
we're
really
stopping
or
we
wouldn't
consider
something
if
it
fit
in.
T
Q
Q
We
could
we
could
fold
that,
in
with
the
caveat
that
certain
projects
may
take
longer
or
we
we
may
need
to
work
on
managing
the
pipeline
of
the
dedication
sites
as
we
get
more
funding.
If
we
continue
to
allow
nofa
funding
applications
to
come
in,
then
of
course
that
would
just
increase
the
amount
of
funding
that
we
would
want
to
lock
in
through
a
partnership
or
try
to
access
if
the
buffer
funds
are
passed
and
it
goes
through.
So
I
think,
just
to
summarize
re-prioritizing
is
probably
a
good
way
of
talking
about
it.
Q
But
if
council
has
input
about
how
we
could
continue
to
parallel
track,
both
programs,
we
we
can.
We
can
fold
that
in
and
it
may
mean
a
greater
enhanced
effort
of
figuring
out
a
bigger
gap
amount
and
then
also
working
with
the
projects
to
figure
out
which
projects
can
actually
cue
forward
depending
on
when
they're
ready
and
when
we
actually
receive
the
sites.
T
Well,
that
appeals
to
me
I,
but
I
think
that
there
should
be
a
clear
priority,
that
the
the
the
city
controlled
sites
are
number
one
and
they
you
know
they
are
and-
and
we
should
certainly
be
communicating
clearly
to
the
you
know-
to
the
affordable
housing
community
that
there
has
been
a
change.
I
mean
obviously
we're
going
to
need
to
do
that
anyway,
because
because
there
is
a
change,
whether
we
pause
it
or
we
change
the
priorities,
I
mean.
T
However,
we
couch
that's
a
big
change,
so
we'll
need
to
be
communicating
that
and-
and
we
have
a
good
track
record
of
doing
that-
oh
I
want
to
stop
and
say
I
think
I
was
the
only
one
who
didn't
say.
Thank
you
so
far
for
this
great
staff
report
and
the
great
work
and
also
you
know
for
me
personally,
this
has
been
something
I
I
really
ran
on
on.
T
All
of
my
campaigns
was
improving,
affordable
housing,
so
hearing
these
numbers
and
seeing
these
put
forward
is
really
just
wonderful,
I
mean.
Obviously,
we
could
argue
that
it's
not
enough,
but
we've
made
great
progress
and
we
are
considered
leaders
and-
and
you
know
I
I
am-
I
brag
about
the
staff
all
the
time
when
I
run
into
other
council
members
from
other
cities,
and
I
I'm
pretty
sure
the
other
council
members
do
too
and-
and
you
you,
you
all
just
really
do
a
wonderful
job.
T
It's
it's
it's
very
much
appreciated
but
anyway,
so
that
so
this
this
idea
of
the
pause
and
the
priorities.
That's
that's
one
thing
I'm
concerned
about,
and
then
the
other
thing
is.
I
would
like
us
to
to
take
a
to
get
an
update
annually
on
where
we
are
in
this
in
this
process,
because
we
know
that
sometimes
the
you
know
the
the
planning
processes
that
we
think
are
going
to
give
us
these
properties
in
a
certain
time.
T
Sometimes
they
take
a
little
longer,
perhaps
some
of
them
we
can
make
go
a
little
faster.
You
know
there
will
be
shifting
and
we
also
know
there
will
be
shifting
of
the
money
available,
and
so
I
would
like
there
to
be
an
annual
check-in
of
what
the
the
money
is
available
and
sort
of
how
that
relates
to
our
priorities
and
our
pause.
P
I
think
a
lot
of
what
we
I
was
thinking
about
has
already
been
said,
but
you
know,
as
we
were
talking
internally
among
staff,
it
occurred
to
us
that
a
typical
nova
process
involves
a
developer,
going
and
negotiating
a
site,
sale
and
sometimes
then
coming
to
the
city
to
say.
I
now
need
to
rezone
this
site
instead
we're
suggesting
they
work
with
the
city
on
our
site
instead
of
going
and
trying
to
purchase
it
from
someone
else.
P
So
we
don't
necessarily
see
this
as
a
loss
for
non-profits,
but
more
of
an
opportunity
to
say
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
going
and
buying
these
sites,
because
we've
got
these
right,
and
so
really
that
was
our
goal.
When
we
said
we
want
to
prioritize
our
city
sites,
because
we
don't
need
to
go
through
all
these
site
negotiations
and
sale
negotiations
and
then
come
to
the
city,
because
we've
got
our
own
sites
and
you
can
work
with
us
instead,
so
we
don't
see
this
as
a
loss
for
for
developers,
but
an
opportunity.
P
P
R
Thank
you,
erin.
Thank
you
rt
for
that
explanation
that
that's
been
my
thought
too.
In
the
past
we
didn't
have
land,
we
had
money
and
that's
why
we
started
the
nofa
process.
It
was
actually
council
member
jack
siegel.
We
were
collecting
money
and
you
know
affordable
housing
funds
and
not
using
it,
and
you
know
he
said
well,
it's
sitting
in
the
bank,
you
it
ends
up
getting
depreciating.
So
let's
use
it
and
that's
why
we
started
the
nova
process,
but
now
we're
flip.
R
R
But
my
hope
too
is
that
you
know
I've
always
heard
from
affordable
housing
developers
that
land
costs
are.
You
know
a
big
chunk
of
it.
The
most,
maybe
that's
changed
more
recently,
but
my
hope
okay
already
is
shaking
your
head.
So,
let's,
given
that
land
costs
are
the
most
the
highest
part
and
also
just
difficult
to
acquire
land
now
that
we
have
land
that
we
can
use.
R
R
A
U
Thank
you
mayor,
well,
I'm
very
supportive
of
this
and
of
giving
the
staff
the
the
flexibility
to
work
with
the
development
community
in
this
space,
and
they
are
very
experienced
community
who
know
the
the
ins
and
the
outs,
and
I
think
that
that
they
will
respond
to
us
saying
we'd
like
to
deepen
our
efforts
in
working
with
the
land
that
we
already
have.
And
you
know
I
mostly
experience
this
with
my
environmental
hat
on
where
sometimes
the
churn
of
going
through
these
processes
just
takes
over
and
it's
it's.
U
This
is
a
much
more
sophisticated
approach
to
it,
and
so
I'm
I'm
very
happy
to
to
see
this
and
I
I
think
it'll
bear
fruit
in
terms
of
the
affordable
housing
that
we
need
sooner.
So
I'm
I'm
very
supportive
of
giving
staff
the
the
flexibility-
and
I
know
that
they
are
going
to
do
a
very
good
job
at
having
conversations
within
the
the
development
community
that
they
would
need
to.
A
A
I
don't
know
if
you
need
direction
for
for
that
here,
but
I
think
it
would
be
good
to
clarify
is
so?
Is
the
council
majority
comfortable
with
the
staff
recommendation
as
presented,
or
was
there
a
an
interest
in
re-characterizing
it
more
as
a
re-prioritization
to
support
city-owned
properties
and
reduce
prioritization
on
private
property?
A
P
I
do
want
to
reiterate
what
wayne
said,
but
one
of
the
things
we
were
asking
council
for
is
this
might
be
an
example
of
a
situation
where
the
city
is
trying
to
formatively
for
the
fair
housing
and
that'll
be
might
be
a
criteria
for
us
to
say.
Okay,
we
want
projects
like
this
that
can
help
us,
because
our
sites
may
not
meet
those
criteria
right.
P
That's
a
that's
a
clear
case
of
achieving
a
city
goal,
because
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
we
were
planning
to
do
anyway
is
to
set
criteria
not
just
for
nova
projects,
but
also
for
developers
who
want
city
sites
to
to
discuss.
This
is
what
the
city
is
trying
to
achieve
on
our
sites.
This
kind
of
program.
P
We
can
do
that
through
the
rfp,
but
if
the
council
wishes
to
prioritize,
for
example,
this
particular
issue,
then
we
could
then
open
up
the
nofa
process
if,
if
an
opportunity
came
along
to
affirmatively,
further
fair
housing,
if
we
find
that
our
sites
can't-
and
these
are
limited
circumstances-
and
it
gives
a
little
more-
I
think
it
helps
us
get
our
arms
around
the
issue,
because
otherwise
we're
juggling
a
bunch
of
projects
that
are
not
even
ready
but
but
have
just
submitted
applications.
We're
planning
to
streamline
some
of
it.
N
Thanks
so
I
appreciate
council
member
show
walls
for
bringing
up
the
terminology
used,
I'm
actually,
okay,
if
we
want
to
say
prioritize
rfp
rfq,
where
we
own
the
land
projects,
and
that
does
imply
that
you
know
we
don't
have
enough
resources
to
do
everything.
So
those
are
the
ones
that
are
going
to
get
prioritized
and
the
others
are
going
to
have
to
wait.
N
But
I
also
hear
the
other
comments
about
you
know
if
hcd
comes
back
with
something
and
we
need
to
do
something
different,
okay
and
also
if
we
have
additional
resources
more
funding,
then
maybe
we
could
do
more,
but
we
probably
need
more
staff
as
well
to
support
all
that
additional
funding
and
all
the
projects.
So
could
we
do
kind
of-
and
I
hate
to-
I
usually
don't
like
this
but
sort
of
for
now
and
then
a
later,
when
we
have
additional
information
or
direction
from
the
state
or
more
money.
N
So
for
now
I
feel
like
we
are,
I
feel
comfortable,
saying
we're
prioritizing
the
ones
where
we
own
the
land,
because
we
do
want
to
take
advantage
of
that
fabulous
opportunity
and
the
others
are
more
challenging.
Potentially.
So
for
now
that's
what
we
focus
on
and
then,
if
things
change
absolutely
let's
revisit
this
and
see
if
we
want
to
change
things.
That
would
be
my
suggestion.
A
Q
We
would
say
that,
for
for
the
time
being
we
will
be
prioritizing
the
city
sites
and
we
will
revisit
this,
maybe
sometime
in
in
the
five
years,
but
before
now
for
now
we
will
be
focusing
on
getting
our
existing
pipeline
through.
That
has
been
included
in
the
staff
report
and
then
next
working
on
our
city
sites.
N
E
T
Yeah,
I
guess
my
my
only
comment
would
be
that
I
don't
think
we
we.
We
will
want
to
wait
five
years
to
reconsider
this.
I
would
assume
that
we
will
reconsider
this
several
times
in
the
following
five
years
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
clear
as
circumstances
change.
I'm
not
sure
we
need
to
give
an
increment
of
time
where
that
will
happen
or
we
can
rely
on
staff
to
say
circumstances
have
changed
enough,
so
we
should.
T
A
Thank
you.
So
if
there
are
no
other
comments,
then
let's
take
a
straw
poll
on
council
member
mata
check's
recommendation
as
paraphrased
or
reflected
by
assistant
city
manager,
srivastava
hands
for
now
one
two,
three
four,
that
is
unanimously
supported,
fantastic!
Thank
you.
So
now
we'll
move
on
to
one
point
b:
point
two,
which
is
the
action
to
support
a
regional
ballot
measure
and
consider
a
local
measure.
R
If
I
could
just
clarify
too,
I
I
do
support
the
the
impact
fee.
The
re
revisiting
the
impact
fees-
so
I
was
just
thinking
like
a
local
ballot
measure-
is
something
that
we
can
and
you
know
I
can.
I
can
use
what
we
we
just
did
earlier
and
say
you
know
we
can
revisit
it,
maybe
in
2025
after
we
know
what
the
outcome
of
the
regional
measure
is,
but
for
now,
let's
just
take
it
off
the
table,
because
I
I
just
yeah.
E
Yes
thanks,
I
just
while
we
were
chatting,
I
looked
up
with
the
exact
languages
in
the
housing
element,
since
this
may
be
direction
to
address
that
as
well
and
there's
one
piece
where
it
says:
support
regional
funding
measure
to
support
affordable
housing.
So
that's
one
of
the
actions
in
the
housing
element
and
then
the
other
action
relating
to
this
says
develop
local
revenue
ballot
measure
to
fund
affordable
housing.
If
a
regional
measure
is
not
implemented,
so
that's
the
language
that
you
would
be
working
with.
If
you
want
to
change
any
of
that.
R
A
A
R
You
know
quite
a
few
middle-income
folks
to
purchase
their
own
home
and
it
might
be
a
condo.
It
might
be
a
town
home,
but
the
idea
is
to
just
help
them
get
into
the
market,
and
so
you
know
I
appreciate
that
we
have
15.
I
think
it's
15
middle-income
bmr
units
right
now,
that's
more
than
what
we
had
10
years
ago,
but
you
know
I'd
like
to
see
more
like
50.
R
and
if
it
the
cost
of
building
affordable
units
is
so
is
so
high
now
and
there's
just
not
a
lot
of
funding
available
for
building
for
middle
income.
I
just
thought
this
was
a
different
approach
that
you
know
I'd
like
to
try
for
a
few
years
as
a
pilot
to
see.
If
could
we
set
aside,
let's
say
10
million
dollars
or
some
amount
of
money
to
just
see
if
this
would
be
useful
to
to
middle-income
folks
to
be
able
to
purchase.
So
that's
the
idea
thanks.
P
The
equity
share
is
intriguing,
but
could
potentially
be
very
difficult
to
administer,
so
we
might
want
to
check
and
see
what
kind
of
what
cities
do
this
kind
of
work
or
what
agencies
do
this
kind
of
work,
because
I
could
see
that
becoming
it's
certainly
innovative
and
to
see
you
know.
Can
we
find
or
connect
people
to
agencies
that
do
this
kind
of
work?
P
R
Maybe
if
I
could
respond
to
that,
yes,
thank
you
artie.
I
I
I
would
appreciate
some
more
analysis
and
research
on
this.
That
would,
I
you
know,
there's
definitely
programs
like,
and
I
don't
know
the
details
that
like
landed,
which
I
believe
has
worked
with
the
high
school
district
to
help
teachers
be
able
to
purchase.
I
don't
know
if
that
would
apply
to
cities.
So
you
know
if
we
could
look
at
programs
like
that.
That's
great
there
are
existing
programs.
You
know,
I
know
the
housing.
R
Trust
has
one,
but
the
challenge,
as
you
mentioned,
is
that
our
the
prices
of
our
homes
don't
qualify
under
their
ami
restrictions.
So
the
120
is
the
max
for
a
lot
of
these
programs
and
our
homes,
just
you
know,
are
more
expensive
than
that,
and
so
that
was
my
in
concern
or
interest
was.
Can
we
help
the
folks
in
the
120
to
150
range
similar
to
what
we've
done
with
bmr
rentals,
or
you
know
we
may
have
to
go
higher
and
I
know
that's
a
really
hard
sell
to
the
public.
R
N
Thanks
so
I
guess,
when
I
had
my
discussion
with
staff,
we
did
talk
about
loans
for
down
payments,
but
we
were
mostly
talking
about
partners
providing
the
funds.
We
didn't
talk
about
the
limitations
in
terms
of
the
amount
or
the
income
level
or
anything
like
that,
but
I
would
feel
more
comfortable
having
partners
do
this
than
the
city.
N
I'm
not
sure.
I
really
want
the
city
to
get
into
this
business,
but
I
also
wonder
if
staff
you
know,
I
feel,
like
I
kind
of
resisted
all
along
adding
projects
to
staff's
plate,
and
so
I
worry
about
adding
this
one,
especially
given
all
the
work
that
has
to
be
done
on
the
housing
element.
I
think
I
prefer
to
just
stick
to
looking
at
the
partnerships
that
might
be
available
to
do
this
rather
than
the
city
providing
the
funding,
because
that
was
already
in
staff's
list.
U
I
I
would
be
most
comfortable
with
developing
a
little
more
information
and
that
could
either
come
from
council
members
ourselves
or
from
staff
doing
what
a
one-hour
look
at
it.
I
wouldn't
be
comfortable
with
just
committing
to
a
project
on
no
information
essentially,
but
I
I
am
very
interested,
and
so
I'd
like
to
see
what
the
possibilities
are
and
see
how
it
slots
into
our
our
burgeoning
work
plan,
which
is,
is
very
voluminous
and
and
growing.
Thank
you.
A
So
I
think
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
I
think
the
recommendation
would
be
to
add
an
item
under
2
dot
b
for
staff
to
explore,
or
do
some
research
on
creating
a
down
payment
equity
share
program
and
to
see
what
type
of
partnerships
or
private
interests
we
might
be
able
to
find
to
help
implement.
That
program.
Is
that
a
fair
characterization
councilman
robbie
joker?
Okay,
any!
No!
If
there
are
no
comment,
oh
council,
member
matajak.
N
R
P
Thank
you,
so
I
just
want
to
confirm
this
with
wayne
and
michaela,
but
I
you
know
we
have.
We
already
have
an
item
in
there
that
talks
about
looking
at
home
ownership
opportunities,
and
maybe
that
could
be
modified
to
research,
funding
sources
and
partnerships
instead
of
adding
another
item.
Would
that
work
wayne
and
mikayla,
or
certainly.
E
Certainly
that
would,
and-
and
one
of
the
main
parts
of
that
would
be
to
explore
those
partnerships.
We
have
identified
a
couple
of
funding
sources
already
that
we
plan
to
apply
for
to
support
this
work,
but
you
know
they
are
limited
and
so
to
the
extent
that
there's
more
interest
in
going
beyond
what
those
funding
sources
can
provide.
We
can,
you
know,
share
what
we've
learned
about
those
funding
sources
with
council.
Q
And
I
was
just
I
was
going
to
say
that
the
item
was
intended
to
cover
sort
of
this
broad
concept
and
whenever
we're
evaluating
any
kind
of
potential
program
where
involving,
if
and
what
a
city
role
might
be.
So
that's
that's
part
of
it.
But
if
it
helps
to
clarify
that
in
the
item
we
we
can
do
that.
But
it
was
the
intent
of
the
item
as
written.
A
A
A

4.6
didn't

but
you
know
I
think
one.
I
want
to
say
that
I'm
glad
that
the
city
council
prioritized
our
environment
and
our
biodiversity
is
one
of
our
council
goals.
I'm
really
impressed
by
what
staff
put
forward
in
this
report-
and
I
know
that
we've
had
community
groups
like
our
santa
clara
county
autobahn
society.
We
got
a
great
email.
S
I
think
that
you
know
there
was
comments
about
like
an
educational
component
as
well,
and
so
just
wanted
to
note
that,
but
excited
to
see
it
on
our
agenda
and
moving
forward.
I
know
a
lot
of
people
are
really
interested
and
it's
exciting
to
be
able
to
move
forward
on
our
council
goal
priorities
thanks.
T
Well,
I'm
just
going
to
add
to
the
chorus
here
and
say:
I've
worked
with
sfbi
several
times
over
the
years
and
it's
always
been
a
delight.
They
they
really
know
their
stuff
and
they're
very,
very
organized
and
just
take
you
know
they
are
one
of
those
peop.
Those
groups
that
seems
to
be
able
to
you
know,
take
sort
of
to
think
low
globally
and
act
locally
and
with
environmental
issues.
T
A
O
O
I'm
glad
that
the
san
francisco
estuary
institute
is
working
on
it,
and
this
is
one
of
the
things
that
makes
mountain
view
a
great
place
to
live
for
the
people
of
the
kind
of
results
of
the
biodiversity
strategy
for
the
people
who
live
here,
but
also
for
the
plants
and
small
creatures
who
live
here,
and
there
are
many
of
them
that
knock
on
my
back
door,
mostly
opossums,
but
but
yeah.
So
I
do
want
to.
I
do
want
to
highlight
that
and
make
sure
that
everybody
knows
that
we're
doing
it.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
and
I
also
look
forward
to
participating
in
that
enthusiastic,
unanimous
vote
in
support
of
the
biodiversity
strategy.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
before
I
go
to
public
comment?
If
not,
then
would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comment
on
any
item
on
the
consent

If
so,

Good
evening,
mayor
ramirez
and
council
members,
I'm
shawnee
kleinhouse
environmental
advocate
for
santa
clara
valley
of
the
bone
society.
Audubon
applauds
the
city
of
mountain
view
for
prioritizing
a
biodiversity
strategy,
and
we
support
item
the
item
and
and
the
consultant
that
you
have
selected
there.
As
said
excellent.
Z
Strategy
has
the
potential
to
eventually
revolutionize
the
urban
design
of
our
communities
and
integrate
nature
and
biodiversity
into
our
human
landscapes.
There
are
many
actions
the
city
can
take
and
should
take
immediately
to
enrich
mountain
view,
biologicals
fabric
and
some
are
already
advancing,
but
this
plan
will
be
groundbreaking
in
its
scope.
Other
communities
have
yet
to
embark
on
a
comprehensive
biodiversity.
C
AA
Hi,
thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
I
am
radhika
taketh.
I
am
the
board
president
of
the
santa
clara
valley,
chapter
of
the
california
native
plant
society,
and
I
also
want
to
say
that
I
fully
support
you
know
the
biodiversity
plan
to
hire
the
san
francisco
estuary
institute
to
provide
a
professional
biodiversity
strategy
and
project
plan.
AA
I
would
also
like
to
point
out
that
cnps
has
tons
of
resources.
You
know
we
have
street
tree
plants
and
urban
tree
plants
that
we
are
very
happy
to
share
with
your
parks
and
recreation
staff,
or
you
know
any
council
member
who
wants
to
take
a
look
at
these
and
we
really
look
forward
to
the
public
outreach
component
of
the
plan
and
hope
to
contribute
to
that.
So,
thank
you
very
much.
AA
AB
Thank
you
mayor.
I'm
going
to
be
short,
I'm
speaking
for
green
spaces
mountain
view.
We
sent
a
letter
today
and
thank
you
to
councilmember
commae
for
mentioning
that,
and
I
hope
that
you
all
read
it
and
I
hope
staff
will
read
it
of
course.
Anyway,
there's
a
lot
of
details
in
there,
I'm
not
going
to
repeat
them
here,
and
I
also
attached
an
earlier
letter
to
prc
on
the
same
topic.
So
a
lot
of
good
details
in
there
that
I
hope
you
will
look
at
the
work.
AB
That's
going
to
be
undertaken
looks
like
it's
going
to
be
extensive
and
it's
going
to
be
a
game
changer
for
mountain
view,
and
this
is
all
great
and
the
other
organizations
that
have
spoken
so
far
green
spaces
mountain
view
works
with
them
very
strong
partnership
across
all
these
organizations.
So
we're
looking
forward
to
the
process
as
it
moves
forward,
and
we
also
encourage
anybody
in
the
public
who
wants
to
work
with
us
to
look
us
up
and
contact
us
and
join
in
the
work.
Thank
you.

All
right,
good
night,
good
evening,
my
name
is
akshat
and
I
am
a
high
school
student.
We
are
all
well
acquainted
with
the
current
plastic
pollution
crisis.
Plastic
bags
are
usually
burned,
buried
or
washed
away,
thereby
polluting
air,
soil
and
water.
To
tackle
this
problem,
I
have
started
sustainable
sundays,
a
small
individual
effort
to
raise
awareness
regarding
this
issue.
AF
For
this
I
stand
alone
outside
the
farmer's
market,
with
posters
to
raise
awareness
about
reducing
plastic
use
in
order
to
persuade
and
influence
consumers
to
choose
sustainable
alternatives.
Last
sunday
I
distributed
reusable
handmade
cloth
bags
for
free
through
my
efforts.
I
hope
that
people
take
action
and
support
mountain
view's,
zero
waste
program
which
aims
to
divert
90
of
waste
away
from
landfills
by
2030.,
thereby
making
mountain
view
a
sustainable
and
climate
resilient
city.
I
would
greatly
appreciate
any
feedback
or
suggestions
in
this
regard.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
R
Thank
you
mayor
if
there
are
no
other

A
G
Hi
all
tim
mckenzie,
he
pronouns
montaloma
neighborhood.
One
thing
welcome
back
from
summer,
it's
great
to
see
everyone.
One
thing
that
happened
over
the
summer
that
I'm
certain
everyone
is
aware
of
was
a
wonderful
presentation
by
the
human
relations
committee
on
the
history
of
housing
in
mountain
view,
and
the
housing
element
came
up
a
fair
amount.
During
the
study
session.
G
When
considering
the
work
plan
had
thought
about
adding
de-policing
traffic
enforcement
as
a
potential
item,
but
did
not
include
it,
but,
as
we
saw
over
the
summer,
a
an
officer
was
shot
during
a
traffic
stop,
thank
goodness
he
was
fine.
The
the
the
person
that
did
the
shooting
was
captured
in
a
manhunt
late
the
next
day.
G
So
everything
worked
out
well,
but
I
think
it
really
highlights
how
important
for
public
safety
for
both
the
public
and
for
our
officers,
who
are
out
there
putting
themselves
on
the
line
that
depolicing
traffic
enforcement
is
something
that
we
really
should
consider
in
mountain
view.
And
I,
the
material
conditions
and
circumstances
have
changed
now
that
there
has
been
something
a
little
bit
closer
to
home
and
I
wanted-
and
maybe
that
would
change
people's
consideration.
G
AG
Thank
you,
hi
albert
jeans.
I
have
my
timer
going
too
good
evening,
mayor,
ramirez
and
council
members
next
slide.
Please.
First,
I
would
like
to
thank
the
city
for
following
my
suggestion
and
transplanting
a
redwood
tree
at
san
fernando
park.
Instead
of
letting
pgd
cut
cut
it
down
or
in
order
to
build
their
gas
regulator
station,
it
looks
great.
I
think
it
only
took
a
more
one
morning
to
move
it.
AG
My
main
reason
for
speaking
to
you
tonight
is
to
show
you
a
couple
examples
of
why
quality
matters
when
it
comes
to
building
the
future
of
mountain
view.
This
was
brought
home
by
some
places.
I
saw
this
summer
next
slide.
Please
we're
all
familiar
with
100
moffat.
Thanks
to
google
street
view,
we
can
see
what
it
used
to
look
like.
Obviously,
the
tree
canopy
took
a
big
hit,
but
won't
the
trees
planted
eventually
make
up
for
it.
Well,
what
I
did
realize
that's
already
been
five
years
since
those
trees
were
planted
next
slide.
AG
AG
I
took
this
picture
when
I
was
in
japan
last
month.
It's
a
rooftop
garden
and
a
mixed-use
complex
of
stores,
offices
and
housing.
It
opened
just
two
years
ago,
just
two
years.
They
didn't
want
to
wait,
10
to
15
years
for
the
trees
to
mature
and
instead
transplant
in
mature
trees.
I've
seen
whole
parks
in
japan,
they're
forested
in
this
way
sure
it's
more
expensive.
But
what
is
the
value
of
providing
a
pleasant
experience
for
the
people
you
want
to
use
the
facility
next
slide.
AG
Please,
on
a
different
note,
I
recently
learned
of
a
dog
park
in
santa
clara,
which
was
highly
regarded,
and
when
I
went
there,
I
was
impressed
by
how
well
designed
it
was.
It
has
synthetic
turf,
easy
to
clean,
multiple
bags,
dispensers
lots
of
shade
and
vegetation,
even
a
cleaning
area
of
the
water
hose
your
dog
gets
dirty,
I'm
running
out
of
time.
It's
a
popular
place
even
on
weekdays.
Next
slide,
please.
AG
This
is
the
dog
park
at
pyramid
park
soon
to
be
open
and
it's
just
filled
with
wood
chips.
It's
not
the
kind
of
place.
I
would
take
my
dog
to
and
yeah.
I
think
it
needs
a
lot
of
improvements.
Next
slide,
please
no
running
out
time.
So
my
point
is
quality,
really
matters,
quality,
building,
quality
parks,
quality
of
life.
AB
O
AB
Too,
the
dog
park
stuff
I
wanted
to
bring
up,
and
this
is
going
to
piggyback
a
bit
on
what
tim
mckenzie
said,
but
you're
going
to
be
looking
at
the
work
plans
for
all
the
advisory
bodies
shortly
and
something
that
I
would
really
like
to
see
in
and
virtually
all
of
them.
If
not
all
of
them
is
legislative
priority
input.
AB
I
think
that,
as
you
come
up
with
the
legislative
priorities
from
a
city
council
perspective,
you
should
have
that
input
from
the
advisory
bodies,
the
two
that
I'm
thinking
of
in
particular
are
psab
and
bpac,
but
I
think
that
all
of
them
could
provide
some
kind
of
input,
if
not
only
for
funding
opportunities
that
they
might
be
able
to
take
advantage
of.
Thank.
X
A
A
X
A
No
worries
at
all:
okay,
I'll.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
see
no
other
members
of
the
public
wishing
to
speak.
We
will
turn
now
to
the
first
of
two
public
hearings.
This
is
item
6.1
interest,
introduce
ordinances
to
add,
responsible
construction
and
wage
theft
to
the
city
code
assistant
to
the
city
manager.
Christina
gilmore
will
present
the
item,
so
somebody
could
help
me
elevate
christina
to
the
panel.
AJ
AJ
A
study
session
was
held
in
october
2021
to
provide
direction
on
the
development
of
the
responsible
construction
and
wage
theft.
Ordinances
revisions
that
were
incorporated
into
the
proposed
ordinances
following
council
direction
from
the
study
session
are
as
follows:
exemption
of
businesses
with
no
employees
from
the
wage
left
ordinance
requirements.
AJ
Staff
has
included
this
exemption
in
the
proposed
wage
theft.
Ordinance
incorporate
stronger
consequences
for
non-compliance
with
the
responsible
construction
ordinance
staff
has
revised
the
ordinance
to
include
terms
to
propose
that
a
certificate
of
occupancy
may
be
withheld
for
the
failure
to
submit
the
paid
transparency
certification
form
or
if
the
city
has
sustained
a
complaint
of
a
wage
theft
judgment
that
is
unpaid
and
not
secured
by
a
surety
bond
or
similar.
Similar
security
instrument.
AJ
The
existing
building
permit
review
and
issuance
process
already
confirms
that
owners,
contractors
and
subcontractors
have
the
adequate
workers,
compensation
insurance
coverage
and
have
maintained
their
contractor
or
subcontractor
licensing.
Consequently,
this
does
not
need
to
be
included
in
the
responsible
construction
ordinance
for
unpaid
payroll
taxes.
Staff
is
not
aware
of
an
effective
way
for
the
city
to
ascertain
that
an
owner,
contractor
or
subcontractor
has
not
paid
payroll
taxes,
as
this
information
is
not
included
in
claims
made
to
the
state's
dlsc.
AJ
For
this
reason,
the
city
would
not
have
a
means
for
pursuing
compliance
and
staff
does
not
recommend,
including
these
items.
In
the
responsible
construction
ordinance
exploration
of
options
to
expand
protections
for
day
laborers
staff
proposes
to
conduct
a
comprehensive
education
outreach
campaign
to
explain
what
which
wage
theft
is
and
how
to
comply
with
wage
wage
and
hour
laws.
The
outreach
campaign
would
also
provide
information
and
referral
services
for
anyone
who
was
a
victim
of
wage
theft.
AJ
In
addition,
the
proposed
responsible
construction
ordinance
includes
an
acknowledgment
that
day
laborers
employed
as
employees
are
similarly
subject
to
the
state's
waging
hour
laws.
Contractors
working
in
mountain
view
are
required
to
obtain
a
business
license.
Therefore,
any
day
labor
day,
laborers
hired
us
as
employees
by
these
contractors
would
be
protected
by
the
proposed
state's
proposed
city's
wage
debt.
Ordinance
staff
also
recommends
maintaining
a
project
threshold
of
fifteen
thousand
square
feet
in
the
responsible
construction
ordinance.
This
will
provide
protections
to
the
projects
that
employ
the
largest
number
of
workers
and
keeps
mountain
views
proposed.
AJ
It
would
exempt
projects
that
are
already
covered
by
prevailing
wage
requirements
and
would
apply
to
the
owner
contractor
and
subcontractors
over
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
or
one
percent
of
construction
value.
A
pay
acknowledgement
form
would
be
required
at
the
beginning
of
the
building
project,
as
a
condition
of
the
building.
Permit.
AJ
AJ
AJ
It
will
exempt
business
owners
without
employees,
and
the
affidavit
will
be
submitted
with
the
business
license
attesting
that
the
business
has
comply
with
labor
law
judgments.
A
failure
to
submit
an
affidavit
or
submitting
a
false
affidavit
may
subject
may
be
subject
to
administrative
penalties
or
criminal
penalties
as
an
infraction.
The
complaint
process
will
be
also
be
complaint.
Driven
the
ordinance
will
be
administered
by
fasd.
AJ
This
will
provide
time
for
staff
to
develop
the
required
forms
needed
for
the
business
license
and
the
building
permit
processes
and
to
include
the
wage
level
ordinance
requirements
in
the
business
license.
Renewal
mailings
which
are
sent
in
the
fall
during
the
months
leading
up
to
the
january
2023,
effective
date.
Staff
will
also
develop
materials
and
conduct
community
outreach
and
engagement
to
promote
awareness
of
the
new
ordinances
and
encourage
compliance.
AJ
O
It
would
perplex
me
I'm
wondering
if
I
did,
because
I
was
perplexed.
I
did
a
phone
maria
marrakeen
from
the
day
workers
center
and
asked
her.
You
know
if
she
how
she
might
simplify
that,
and
she
said
that
her
concern
really
was
that
that
we
offer
a
little
more
protection,
a
little
more,
that
a
little
more
protection
for
day
workers
and
that
it
could
be
located.
There's
a
in
the
letter.
It
says,
which
non-profits
would
you
locate
this
additional
protection
that
she
she
agreed?
AJ
You
know
what
protections
day
workers
day
laborers
have
under
the
existing
ordinances,
as
well
as
under
existing
state
legion
hour
laws.
So
we
are
happy
to
collaborate
with
them
to
develop
information
and
flyers.
That
would
be
in
plain
english.
That
would
be
less
confusing
for
for
anyone
who
received
it
and
we
will,
as
in
addition
to
that,
we'll
be
developing
a
website
and
faqs
and
other
outreach
materials
that
will
go
out
with
our
billing.
S
Great,
thank
you
and
apologies.
I
forgot
to
ask
this
during
my
council
briefing,
but
you
know:
should
these
ordinances
go
forward,
sometimes
in
the
implementation
or
the
administrative
processes
we
kind
of
learn
things
and
what
is
the
best
way,
I
guess,
or
how
do
we
foresee
being
able
to
take
that
input?
You
know,
I
think
the
vice
mayor
brought
up
some
some
feedback
that
we
received.
S
It
sounds
like
we're
going
to
be
implementing
it,
but
as
these
go
forward
with
the
start
date
of
january
2023,
I
think
for
those
you
know
attending
and
listening,
how
might
they
be
able
to
submit
feedback?
Would
they
just
go
directly
to
the
city
manager's
office
and
we
can
take
their
feedback
into
account
and
do
any
kind
of
ordinance
cleanup?
Should
we
need
to.
T
Following
up
on
what
council
member
commae
said,
I
was
wondering
if
we
wanted
to
have
some
sort
of
a
report
brought
back
and
maybe
12
months
after
implementation
or
15
months
after
implementation
or
a
couple
years,
whatever
people
staff
thinks
is
appropriate
to
say
how
this
is
working
and
what
you
know,
what
number
of
complaints
there
have
been
and
how
they've
been
raised?
You
know
a
little
bit
about
how
just
how
it's
working
and
how
it's
been
resolved
and
are
there
any
any
needs
for
amending
the
ordinance?
T
AJ
Apologies
councilmember
showalter,
I
was
taking
notes
yeah
we
certainly
are.
We
can
certainly
bring
this
back
at
a
future
date
and
I
can
consult
with
the
city
attorney's
office
and
the
city
manager
for
when
that
would
be
an
appropriate
timing,
but
I
think
you
know
12
or
15
months.
Time
range
would
most
likely
be
a
reasonable
date.
T
U
A
Thank
you.
Any
remaining
questions,
not
we'll
turn
to
the
public.
Would
any
member

AK
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
attention
to
these
very
important
issues
that
have
a
lasting
impact
on
our
local
community
and
the
economy
related
to
responsible
construction
over
the
years.
Construction
projects
have
increased
in
the
bay
area,
yet
we
are
experiencing
a
record
high
level
of
exploitation,
less
skilled
and
trained
local
workforce
building
these
projects
and
the
refusal
to
pay
a
living
wage.
We
all
know
that
minimum
wage
is
not
a
livable
wage
in
the
bay
area.
AK
Today,
when
we
take
action
as
a
community
to
fight
against
these
unlawful
practices,
we
must
talk
about
private
and
public
works
projects
as
one
today,
I
ask
you
to
support
the
local
workforce
that
protects
workers,
the
community
and
our
future
of
private
and
public
work
projects.
Please
put
people
over
profit,
please
stop
workers
from
being
exploited.
AK
AL
It's
really
ruth
silver
tobe,
I'm
on
my
legal
assistant's
computer,
because
it's
the
only
one
that's
working
today
at
the
law
center,
I'm
at
the
legal
clinic.
So
I
did
want
to
point
out
that
the
material
for
the
day
workers
is
going
to
be
extremely
simple.
There's
lots
of
stuff
that
the
national
day
worker
organization
has
put
out.
We
can
show
it
to
the
council,
there's
no
going
to
be
no
problem
there.
Also.
We
need
a
second
ordinance
that
that
involves
the
city
of
mountain
view.
AL
We
need
an
ordinance
that
that
has
to
that
involves
public
works
and
all
contractors
with
the
city.
Sunnyvale
has
a
milpitas.
Has
it
morgan
hill?
Has
it
santa
clara
county?
Has
it
so
we
need
a
phase
two
that
deals
with
that.
Otherwise
these
two
would
direct
staff
to
draft
a
waged
up
policy
regarding
contractors
with
the
city
of
mountain
view
and
including
all
contractors,
including
public
works.
AB
AB
G
Income
from
from
the
workers
really
I'll
say
it's
good
to
hear
the
working
with
the
day
worker
center.
I
say:
listen
to
the
wage
theft
coalition.
They've
been
working
on
this
for
years.
So
what
previous
speaker
said
about
the
need
for
a
a
another
ordinance?
I
guess
I
I
will
defer
to
her
expertise,
but
I
will,
I
would
say,
listen
to
them
as
well,
and
it's
great
to
see
this
happening.
So
thanks.
AM
AM
Mountain
view
has
itself
been
the
site
of
construction
projects
that
are
that
have
frankly
been
economic
crime
scenes,
and
so
these
organ
ordinances
are
much
welcomed.
In
january
of
this
year,
the
state
labor
commissioner,
found
that
a
contractor
in
mountain
view
cheated
multiple
workers
out
of
wages
while
constructing
in
the
city
and
ultimately,
such
wage
theft
damages
individuals,
families,
communities
and
regions,
and
data
has
shown
that
around
half
of
all
construction
work
families
are
enrolled
in
safety,
net
programs
at
a
public
cost
in
excess
of
3
billion.
AM
So
when
employers
steal
wages,
they
defund
and
defraud,
not
only
the
worker
themselves,
but
also
government
programs,
including
workers,
comp
social
security
and
medicare
and
as
a
labor
union.
These
are
the
types
of
practices
that
are
everything
we
stand
against,
and
so
we
applaud
the
city's
responsible
and
con
construction
wage
theft
ordinances
in
question.
We
look
forward
to
the
their
passage
we
look
forward
to
observing
their
enforcement
and
their
efficacy.
Thank
you
very
much.
AN
AN
You
know
you
can
be
told
you
can
work
less
and
then
you
work
your
way
up,
but
you
never
work
your
way
up.
So
I
think
that's
why
it's
important
to
focus
on
that
public
works
aspect
and
then
repeat
offenders.
This
is
a
business
model.
People
do
it
over
and
over
in
the
data
set.
I
frequently
see
those
free
frequent
flyers
who
have
violations
with
different
government
agencies
at
different
levels.
The
agencies
aren't.

Good
evening

I
am
a
member
of
the
wage
staff
coalition,
as
well
as
of
the
filipino
association
of
workers
and
immigrants
or
powis.
I
am
here
to
urge
the
city
to
adopt
the
two
ordinances,
the
responsible
construction
ordinance
and
wage
step
ordinance
and
for
the
council
to
direct
staff
to
return
with
a
wage
theft
policy
relating
to
contracts
with
the
city
of
mountain

K
As
what
other
speakers
have
already
said,
that
includes
all
contracts,
including
public
works
and
covers
and
paid
judgments
and
repeat
offenders,
as
well
as
in
consultation
with
dave
worker
center
of
mountain
view,
provide
more
information
on
the
specific
outreach
and
education
they
intend
to
conduct,
including
sending
letters
to
all
property
owners
in
the
city,
informing
them
of
their
legal
wage
and
our
obligations,
including
prohibition
against
retaliation
and
the
names
of
specific
locations
where
the
city
will
be
providing
information
to
their
workers
and
the
methods.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
that
you
do.

Hi
good
evening,

I
really
appreciate
your

and
attention
to
these
important
issues
that
have
lasting
impacts,

on
our
local
community.
AO
Construction
projects
have
increased
in
the
bay
area,
yet
we
are
still
experiencing
record
levels
of
exploitation.
Wage
theft
and
responsible
construction
ordinances
are
an
issue
on
both
the
private
and
public
works
projects.
Today,
when
we
take
action
as
a
community
to
fight
against
these
unlawful
practices,
we
have
to
talk
about
public
works
and
private
projects
alike
as

equally
today,
I
bring
my
concerns
and
those
on
behalf
of
my
fellow

our

AO
As
many
of
you
know,
what
we
do
today
builds
our
future
for
tomorrow,
today,
developers
and
builders
who
we
refuse
to
pay
the
prevailing

are
building
projects
that
are
exploiting
workers
from
out
of
the
area
state
and
country
all
the
while
profiting
while
pushing
the
middle
class
out
of
the
area.
Teachers,
health
care
providers
and
construction
workers
are
being
pushed
out
of
here
daily
bad
actors,
not
using
skilled
and
trained
labor,
could
also
result
in
major
environmental,
health
and
safety
harm,

it
also
defeats
our

you

I
want
to
thank
the

for
your
consideration
and
work
on
this
morning
for
your
long-standing
leadership
and
empowering
from
being
the
leader
in
setting
minimum

now
taking
the
next
step
to
make
sure
that
that
minimum
wage
or
the
wages
that
they're
going
to
actually
what
workers
are
getting.
This
is
a
hugely
important
step,
both
the
way
to
that
requirement.

right

So
this
these
two

will
be
a

clarifying
question

you're
seeking,
let
me
do
a
quick
check
in

I
I
remember
doing
this
before

I
was
excited
for
allowing

for

let
me

quickly
ask

100

First,
thank
you
for
your
time
and
attention
to
the
future
of
our
construction,
industry
and
community
of

The

the

will
be

witnessing

a
little

is
responsible,
determined

is
a
cornerstone
of
the
values

enough.

J
Evening
again,
council,
because
it's
kevin
ma
again
representing
the
league
of
women
voters,
the
league
has
a
position
that
people
have
the
right
to
an
income
and
our
services
sufficient
to
meet
their
basic
needs.
As
such,
we
support
the
staff
recommendation
and
and
are
thankful
for
staff
for
conducting
extensive
outreach
to
propose
such
a
systematic
codified
process
that
is
generally
acceptable
for
all
the
various
stakeholders
in
the
process
to
address
the
main
issue
of
labor
law
violations
in
the
city
of
mountain
view.
Thank
you.
A
R
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
to
staff
for
bringing
this
forward
and
for
all
your
work,
hard
work
on
this.
It
has
been
a
long
time
in
coming
and
since
we
passed
the
increase
in
the
minimum
wage,
this
came
right
after
and
I
think
I
first
brought
it
up
in
20
when
I
came
back
to
council
in
2017..
So
here
we
are
five
years
later.
You
know,
frankly,
to
be
honest.
The
council
at
that
time
didn't
make
it
a
priority
and
it
took
this
council
to
make
it
a
priority.
R
R
I
guess
I
had
assumed
that,
with
our
responsible
bitter
requirement
on
public
works
project
that
included
issues
like
wage
theft.
Is
that
not
the
case?
And
yes,
and
I
mean
I'll
say
that
I
do
agree
that
I
think
that
you
know
we
have
to
walk
the
talk
ourselves
first,
so
we
should
be
including
public
works
public
projects.
AS
Good
evening
dawn
cameron,
public
works
director.
Thank
you
for
that
question,
council
member
abikoka.
So
yes
for
our
construction
bidding
projects
we
require,
and
we
include
in
the
contract
that
they
must
comply
with
all
federal
state
and
local
requirements,
labor
requirements
that
is
fully
enforceable
under
our
contract
and
they
would
be
in
breach
of
contract.
If
we
found
out
they
did
not.
AS
They
are
also
required
to
pay
prevailing
wage
to
register
with
the
department
of
industrial
resources
dir
and
to
submit
certified
payroll
forms.
Now
we
go
a
little
bit
further
than
just
say:
submit
it
to
the
dir.
We
do
have
a
labor
compliance
officer
and
when
our
contractors
submit
invoices
it
does
go
to
our
labor
club
compliance
officer.
AS
They
check
to
confirm.
Has
the
contractor
filed
the
dir
forms,
they
will
do
a
spot
check
again
of
the
certified
payroll
against
the
dir
general
prevailing
wage
determination
to
see
if
the
wages
that
they're
seeing
equal
what
the
prevailing
wages
should
be
so
that
we
already
do
have
some
requirements
in
place
to
ensure,
to
the
extent
that
we
are
able
to
ensure
prevailing
wage
is
being
provided
for
our
construction
contracts.
AS
So,
first
off
this
is
fairly
new
request
that
we
received-
and
I
believe
ms
gilmore
will
confirm
that
as
well-
that
it
was
only
in
the
last
week
that
we
were
in
last
week
or
two
that
we're
hearing
interest
in
asking
us
to
look
at
these
other
policies.
Some
other
cities
have
adopted
now
these
policies
currently
apply
to
general
city
contracts
and
they
specifically
exclude
public
works
contracts
and
prevailing
wage
contracts.
AS
AS
They
have
been
finding
that
they
are
difficult
to
enforce
and
administer
and
they're,
not
certain
they've
been
that
effective
and
in
fact
they
need
they
are
looking
at
reworking
them.
The
one
city
that
is
looking,
including
public
works
contract
as
part
of
this
policy
is
san
jose
and
san
jose
staff
has
acknowledged
they've
already
put
in
a
lot
of
time
to
try
to
figure
out.
How
could
it
be
actually
effective
enforceable
and
what
it
would
require
in
terms
of
staffing
resources?
AS
I
think
part
of
the
issue.
What
we
heard-
and
I
think
you
heard
in
writing-
is
there-
are
concerns
about
the
dir's
staffing
resources
and
how
well
that
they're
checking
on
all
of
this,
but
just
saying
in
that
case
the
city
should
just
adopt
its
own
ordinances
and
policies.
Without
us
doing
do
research
and
confirming
could
we
actually
do
something,
that's
more
effective
and
what
resources
that
would
require
is.
It
would
be
of
concern
to
us
tonight.
R
So
I
think
you
would
so
the
dir
is
the
department
of
department
of
industrial
relations
with
the
state,
eight
okay
and
then
there's
the
county
office
of
labor
standards
and
from
the
staff
report.
It
looks
like
we've
been
talking
with
them,
but
some
of
their
information
is
outdated
as
well
on
wage
theft.
I
am,
and
so
I
guess
you
know
I
I
want
to
be
mindful
of
staff
resources,
but
I
guess
that's
where
I'm
thinking
you
know.
Can
we
look
to
the
county?
AS
R
C
V
U
Thank
you
mayor.
I
had
several
questions.
Well,
I'll
start
with
just
a
statement,
I'm
very
interested
in
seeing
something
come
back
to
us
at
goal
setting,
and
I
would
be
more
than
willing
to
take
other
projects
off
of
the
list
to
be
able
to
have
a
more
robust
enforcement
mechanism
in
in
mountain
view,
and
I'm
I'm
wondering
with
the
the
various
things
that
were
discussed
in
terms
of
looking
at
wage
records
once
a
contract
is,
is
awarded
and
it's
it's
it's
moving
ahead.
AS
I
also
know
all
they're
not
specifically
asked
at
this
point:
do
you
have
any
pro
judgments
or
anything
against
you
that
type
of
thing?
However,
I
will
also
note
that
if
you
pass
the
wage
theft
ordinance
tonight,
which
is
linked
to
a
business
license
where
they
have
to
submit
the
affidavit,
we
require
all
vendors
and
contractors
doing
work
for
the
city
to
have
a
business
license.
U
And
so
would
they
be
able
to
have
a
business
license
in
mountain
view
if,
if
they
had
been,
you
know
a
super
bottom
feeder
for
the
past
three
years
and
and
had
all
kinds
of
judgments
against
them?
Would
they
still
be
able
to?
You
know,
get
that
business
license
because
their
offenses
had
taken
place
in
san
jose
or
another
jurisdiction.
AT
So
yes,
so
so,
what's
proposed
in
the
ordinance
is
that
the
business
license
well,
a
form
would
be
submitted
would
need
to
be
submitted
in
conjunction
with
the
business
license
process.
However,
if
they
either
fail
to
submit
a
form
or
submit
what
we
come
to
learn
afterwards
is
a
form
that
had
false
information.
U
AT
So
I
think,
looking
at
each
of
the
ordinances,
there
might
be
a
different
process
so
for
under
the
responsible
construction
ordinance
under
the
complaint
process
set
forth
in
the
organs
it
would
be
an
employee
or
the
holder
of
a
judgment.
So
someone
who
was
awarded
a
court
order
or
judgment
that
has
not
yet
been
satisfied
or
paid
would
be
able
to
submit
the
complaint
and
there's
required
documentation
to
accompany
that
complaint
for
the
wage
theft
ordinance.
AT
The
ordinance
itself
doesn't
specify.
You
know
we
don't
have
a
formal
complaint
as
part
of
that
ordinance.
So
I
think,
like
other
city
ordinances,
if
you
know
a
complaint
was
submitted
or
something
was
submitted
to
the
city,
indicating
that
there
was
reason
to
believe
that,
let's
say
a
false
affidavit
for
wage
theft
was
submitted.
That's
something
that
we
would
review
and
consider
consistent
with
how
we
would
treat
other
potential
violations
of
our
city
code.
Okay,.
U
And
they've
been
subject
to
wage
theft,
and
so
I
could
envision
a
lot
of
circumstances
where
a
particular
worker
or
even
a
group
of
workers,
would
be
reticent
to
go
to
city
hall
and
and
engage
in
a
process
that
they're,
not
really,
you
know
familiar
with
or
or
have
a
good
feeling
about,
interfacing
with
government.
So
would
the
complaint
process
also
cover
like?
Could
their
legal
representatives
file
file
something
on
their
behalf
or
how
would
that
work.
AT
For
the
responsible
construction
ordinance,
I
don't
see
a
reason
why
a
legal
representative,
acting
on
behalf
of
an
employee,
couldn't
file
the
complaint.
I
would
just
note
that
you
know
through
that
complaint
process.
It's
already.
It
was
already
a
claim
that
was
submitted
to
the
state
right
through
the
dlsc,
the
department
of
labor
standards
enforcement.
AT
I
hope
I
got
that
right,
but
through
the
state,
basically
to
make
a
determination
on
whether
or
not
the
claim
that
was
submitted,
you
know
was
valid
and
made
an
award,
so
there
was
already
a
process
that
was
undertaken
and
what
would
be
submitted
to
the
city
as
part
of
our
complaint
process
under
the
responsible
construction
ordinance
is
a
copy
of
that
of
the
final
outcome
of
that.
So
the
final
order
or
judgment.
AT
U
A
R
AS
R
N
Thank
you
just
had
a
couple
comments.
I
want
to
thank
member
abby
koba
for
keeping
this
one
at
the
forefront
and
keeping
it
on
the
work
plan,
and
I
appreciate
my
colleagues
supporting
it.
I
know
this
wasn't
an
easy
or
small
project,
so
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
everything
you
did
on
this
one
and
it
it
was
a
challenging
one.
I
would
say,
but
we're
here
and
I'm
happy
about
that
and
I'm
happy
to
second
the
motion.
Thank
you.
A
Fantastic,
thank
you
and
ditto.
I'm
really
glad
to
see
this
finally
come
to
fruition.
I
remember
the
council
prioritizing
it
in
june.
2019
thinking
you
know.
Other
cities
have
done
this.
This
is
not
new
work
and
it's
unfortunate.
The
pandemic
got
in
the
way
and
shifted
our
priorities
pretty
radically,
but
I'm
very
grateful
for
the
work
that
you've
done
and
finally
and
happy
to
see
it
finally
get
to
the
finish
line.
So
I
see
the
vice
mayor
is
rejoining
us
vice
mayor.
A
AT
Sorry
mayor,
if
I
may,
I
I
believe,
though,
of
the
staff
recommendation
just
items
one
and
two
were
read
in
for
the
two
ordinances
and
not
the
adoption
of
the
resolution,
and
maybe
I
misheard
that,
but
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
that
that
was
part
of
intended
to
be
part
of
the
motion
as
well.
Yes,
I'm
sorry.

The
0.97
acre
project
site
is
located
northwest
of
castro
street
and
church
street
immediately
south
of
the
city
hall
and
adjacent
to
a
mountain,
new
chamber
of
commerce
and
the
pioneer
park.
The
existing
site
is
currently
developed
with
a
single-story
vacant
commercial
building
with
associated
surface
parking
lot.
The
site
is
also
surrounded
with
similar
mixed-use
office
and
commercial
developments.
AU
The
precise
plan
envisions
a
multi-story
building
at
the
site
with
setbacks
from
the
pioneer
park,
and
it
has
been
actually
identified
as
the
only
redevelopment
opportunity
site
in
area.
I,
the
precise
plan,
also
prescribes
various
permitted
and
provisional
uses
in
the
precise
plan
and
specifically
for
this
project
site.
It
should
be
noted
that
an
office
use
on
the
upper
floors
is
a
permitted
use
for
the
precise
plan
and
residential
use
is
actually
a
provisional
use
and
only
allowed
on
the
open
stories.
AU
In
this
area
of
the
precise
plan,
it
should
be
noted
that
the
original
project
scope,
which
included
a
provisional
use,
permit
request
to
allow
some
ground
for
office
use,
has
been
modified
in
july
2022.
The
applicant
resubmitted
a
revised
project
replacing
the
ground
floor
office
used
with
retail
use,
which
removed
the
requirement
for
a
provisional
use
permit.
Additionally,
staff
did
further
review
and
determined
that
the
downtown
precise
plan
allows
for
mixed-use
development
with
reduced
parking
to
be
considered,
if
supported
by
a
parking
study
and
does
not
require
a
separate,
provisional
use.
AU
Permit
this
parking
study
and
the
reduced
parking
proposal
is
to
be
reviewed
as
part
of
the
development
approval
process
at
a
public
hearing.
This
is
consistent
with
the
previously
approved
mixed-use
development
projects
in
downtown
that
have
requested
reduced
parking
and
therefore
the
project
description
has
been
modified
to
remove
the
provisional
use
permit
aspect
of
the
project.
AU
The
applicant's
library
organization
is
proposing
to
demolish
the
existing
vacant,
a
commercial
building
and
redeveloped
the
site
with
a
four-story
mix-used
commercial
building
over
two
stories
of
underground
parking
garage.
The
precise
plan
is
very
prescriptive
and,
in
large
part,
dictates
the
site
plan
development.
AU
Specifically,
it
requires
a
minimum
50
foot,
wide
landscape
connection
between
castro
street
and
pioneer
park.
It
also
requires
that
the
proposed
new
buildings
have
to
be
closer
to
the
street
frontages.
In
addition
to
that,
it
requires
the
driveway
access
and
the
back
of
the
house
operation
should
be
located
away
from
the
street
frontages.
AU
AU
AU
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
precise
plan
is
very
prescriptive
and
dictates
the
site
design
for
buildings,
as
I
discussed
in
the
previous
section,
and
this
configuration
of
the
site
plan
design
makes
it
very
challenging
to
preserve
the
existing
trees
on
site
which
were
planted
for
an
older
parking
lot
configuration
as
a
result.
The
project
proposes
to
remove
nine
heritage
trees
and
requires
a
heritage
tree
permit.
Ten
additional
non-heritage
trees
are
also
being
proposed
to
be
removed.
AU
In
order
to
ensure
that
the
newly
planted
trees
as
part
of
the
project
will
achieve
higher
canopy
coverage,
the
applicant
is
actually
proposing
to
plant
54
new
trees
and
it
will
be
planted
at
a
replanting
ratio
of
2.8
is
to
one
per
replacement
ratio,
which
is
above
and
beyond
the
city.
Standard
practice
of
two
is
to
one
for
heritage
trees
and
one
is
to
one
replacement
ratio
for
non-heritage
trees.
AU
The
resulting
tree
removal
and
the
planting
plan
carefully
considers
the
implementation
of
the
vision
of
the
downtown
precise
plan
and
meets
the
city
code
requirements
and
practices
and
incorporates
native
planting
and
darter
planting
as
well.
Staff
therefore
recommends
the
proposed
removal
and
replacement
plan.
AU
The
proposed
building
design
has
an
architectural
style,
with
a
mix
of
traditional
and
contemporary
building
material
to
relate
to
its
neighboring
context,
specifically
the
castro
and
church
street
intersection.
The
entry
design
has
has
a
special
emphasis
on
the
corner,
entry
and
step
backs
at
the
upper
floors.
The
design
also
emphasizes
the
ground
floor,
retail
tenant
spaces
along
this
castro
street
and
church
street
frontages.
AU
AU
The
proposed
reduction
is
supported
by
a
parking
analysis
which
was
conducted
by
hexagon
transportation
consultant
inc,
which
concluded
that
the
you
know
proposed
parking
will
be
adequate
for
the
type
of
users
that
are
proposed
at
this
site.
This
was
based
on
you
know,
aspects
such
as
proximity
to
transit,
the
mix
of
uses
and
the
shared
parking
possibilities,
data
from
other
similar
projects
in
the
area.
AU
As
per
for
the
sql
analysis,
the
project
is
found
to
be
categorically
exempt
pursuant
to
section
one
five:
three:
three:
two
in
full
development
project
of
the
sql
guidelines
as
per
cities.
Vmt
screening
criteria,
the
project
has
is
expected
to
have
a
less
than
significant
impact
on
vmt,
a
multimodal
transportation
analysis
was
also
conducted
for
the
project
which
concluded
less
than
significant
impacts
on
the
transportation
system,
with
the
implementation
of
the
transportation
demand
management
program
through
various
meetings
and
community
input
sources.
AU
AU
This
has
been
discussed
extensively
in
the
staff
report,
but
in
a
quick
summary,
the
proposal
of
this
use
is
an
allowed
use
on
upper
floors.
As
for
the
precise
plan
and
general
plan
as
well,
the
downtron
precise
plan
allows
for
consideration
of
reduced
parking
in
mixed-use
project
if
supported
by
a
parking
study.
AU
The
applicant's
proposal
of
the
tree
removals
is
above
and
beyond
the
city's
standard
practice
and
includes
native
and
downtown
park
planting
and,
as
I
described
earlier,
the
project
proposal
has
been
revised
and
does
not
include
any
more
ground
for
office
space
and
removing
the
provisional
use
permit
aspect
in
terms
of
the
previous
reviews.
The
project
applicant
conducted
a
community
meeting
in
october
2021
to
seek
community
input
and
all
the
property
owners
and
tenants
in
750
foot
radius
were
notified
of
this
particular
meeting.
AU
The
project
was
also
reviewed
at
various
occasions
by
the
development
review
committee
and
finally
received
a
conditional
approval
in
october.
2021
project
was
also
reviewed
for
by
the
parks
and
rec
commission
in
terms
of
reviewing
the
replacement
parking
encroachment
into
the
pioneer
park
and
a
possible
removal
of
a
heritage
tree
and
the
partisan
recommission
recommended
approval
to
the
council
in
june
2021.
AU
It
should
be
noted
for
clarity
that
this
project
was
scheduled
for
city
council
meetings
earlier
this
year
in
april
and
may,
but
it
was
continued
both
at
that
time.
In
summary,
staff
would
just
like
to
reiterate.
You
know
the
project
is
consistent
with
the
general
plan.
It
meets
the
downtown,
precise
man,
land
use
and
site
design
requirement.
AU
The
reduced
parking
supported
by
the
parking
study
is
for
the
downtown,
precise
plan
parking
policy
and
it
it
meets
the
city's
vmt
policy
as
well.
The
applicant's
voluntary
features,
including
shared
public
parking
and
extension
of
the
landscape
plaza,
is
a
significant
improvement
and,
in
addition
to
the
project
and
to
the
neighborhood
and
proposed,
the
parcel
map
is
also
compliant
with

map
act.

who's.
Our
land
use
council.
AV
Thank
you,
I'm
ted
korth
good
evening.
So
here
is
a
view
of
the
intersection
of
church
street
and
castro
street.
Our
site
is
the
upper
left-hand
corner.
You
can
see
where
it
says
existing
one
office,
one-story
office,
building
with
a
surface
parking
lot
and
the
buildings
at
the
other
three
intersections
are
all
four-story
mixed-use
buildings
and
the
proposed
project
that
we're
presenting
is
also
a
four-story
mixed
use.
Building
again
we're
our
side
is
the
upper
left-hand
corner
and
then
the
other
buildings
on
on
the
other
three
corners
are
shown
on
this
page
as
well.
AV
Next,
please
so
the
mountain
view,
precise
plan
as
diana
explained,
has
very
prescriptive
requirements.
Our
project
complies
with
all
of
the
design
guidelines,
including
uses
building
coverage,
open
space
parking
requirements
and
the
service
areas
and
access
to
them
from
the
various
streets.
You
can
see
our
sites
in
yellow
on
that
site
plan.
Next,
please
so
we
comply
with
the
height
we
comply
with
the
massing
requirements.
AV
Masking
requirements
include
providing
that
open
space
that
is
shown
at
the
top
of
the
the
site
there
going
left
right
from
castro
to
pioneer
park
and
vice
versa,
that's
being
developed
as
a
paseo
as
part
of
this
project,
design,
the
ground
level,
facade
and
roof
treatment
have
all
been
designed
per
the
plants,
and
we've
set
the
fourth
story
back
in
the
building
on
all
four
sides
to
lessen
the
impact
of
the
project
as
well.
All
the
windows
are
recessed,
the
winds
are
highly
windows,
are
highly
detailed.
AV
So
this
is
the
site
plan
that
diana
showed
the
ground
floor
has
various
bays
about
30
foot,
bays
that
are
breaking
the
scale
of
the
project
down
to
be
consistent
with
the
adjoining
context,
they're
activated
bays
on
on
every
floor
around
the
perimeter.
There
are
bays
opening
out
to
the
paseo
opening
out
to
castro
opening
out
to
church
street
with
a
unique
corner
at
the
corner
of
church
and
castro
I'll.
Let
nick
samuelson
speak
now
about
the
landscape.
AV
D
All
right,
thanks
yeah,
so
the
the
open
space
we're
mainly
going
to
focus
on
the
paseo
here,
was
following
the
city
design
guidelines
where
you
have
an
open
space
in
the
middle,
with
walkways
on
both
sides
leaving
out
to
pioneer
park.
Now
we
use
that
scheme
to
kind
of
create
a
series
of
rooms,
so
you
start
with
a
urban
plaza
that
fronts
onto
castor
street
and
that
transitions
into
a
series
of
different
rooms
that
get
more
informal.
D
As
you
move
back
towards
pioneer
park
and
part
of
that
we're
putting
an
extensive
canopy,
the
canopy
that
surrounds
our
site,
we
can't
use
the
footprint
of
the
building
for
that
canopy,
but
we're
actually
going
to
exceed
the
amount
of
canopy.
That's
on
the
entire
current
site,
a
little
bit
when
these
trees
are
all
filled
in.
So
it's
a
pretty
extensive
canopy.
D
That's
part
of
why
we're
able
to
exceed
the
tree
mitigation
numbers
just
with
the
amount
of
large
native
trees
and
large
canopy
trees
that
we'll
be
putting
in
around
here,
and
we
did
look
at
that,
as
was
noted,
trying
to
move
some
of
those
trees
and,
as
is
noted
by
diana
there's,
several
issues,
the
species
is
challenging
for
that
their
root
masses
are
all
intertwined.
So
it's
a
really
large
root
mass
that
the
logistics
of
trying
to
get
that
out
and
not
disrupt
utilities
and
everything
around
the
site
wasn't
feasible.
D
So
as
you
go
through
there,
you
can
see
in
these
series
of
rooms
out
in
the
urban
plaza.
We
have
a
lot
of
movable
furniture
and
fix
furniture,
provides
a
lot
of
flexibility,
a
lot
of
different
seating
opportunities
and
activity
spaces.
You
go
back
through
there
with
wooden
bench,
seating,
terrace,
decks
that
can
work
as
a
stage
and
back
to
like
a
yoga
lawn
area,
as
you
move
your
way
back
through
the
site
and
go
to
the
next
slide.
D
The
third
one
shows
the
urban
plaza
where
we
have
a
sculptural
lighting
element,
that's
kind
of
a
focal
point
in
there
and
a
water
wall
in
the
back
defense
acts
as
a
buffer
to
the
ramp
to
the
city
of
plaza
garage
and
the
last
one
good
one
to
highlight.
Just
the
front
end
you'd
see
from
caster
street,
it's
really
open
and
inviting
and
encouraging
everyone
to
come
into
the
space
right
there.
AV
So
here's
a
view
from
the
corner.
A
couple
of
the
key
moves
that
were
made
in
designing
the
building
one
was
to
recognize
the
scale
and
the
height
of
city
hall,
so
that
the
first
three
floors
of
our
proposed
building
the
cornice
line
aligns
with
city
hall.
The
fourth
floor
is
set
back
on
all
four
sides
to
allow
outdoor
space,
but
to
also
lessen
make
a
lighter
cap
to
this
building
and
it
tears
us
down
towards
pioneer
park.
We've
used
proposed
to
use
really
nice
artisan
brick
with
a
variety
of
texture
and
color.
AV
AV
The
sobrata
organization
asked
us
to
design
this
as
a
sustainable
project,
so
we've
used
very
high
performance
glass
that
provides
works
for
cooling
and
prevents
heating.
We've
used
high
mechanical
or
high
efficiency
mechanic
electron
plumbing
systems.
There
will
be
solar
panels
on
the
roof
of
the
mechanical
enclosure
as
well,
and
all
of
the
water
rain
water
that
lands
on
the
site
will
be
treated
and
go
through
bios
wells
before
it
enters
the
storm
sewer
system,
which
is
a
big
upgrade
from
current
asphalt
parking
lot
and
how
it
how
it
enters
the
storm
sewer.
AV
Next,
please,
this
is
a
view
from
church
showing
how
the
building
terraces
down
towards
pioneer
park.
We
wanted
to
show
you
this
view.
These
are
the
existing
trees.
Maybe
we
we're
going
to
hide
a
few
just
to
show
you
the
rest
of
the
building.
The
rest
of
you
could
move
up,
so
this
shows
it
shows
the
terrace
at
the
third
floor
and
a
terrace
of
the
fourth
floor,
the
fourth
floor
terrace
is
deeper
than
the
one
beneath
it.
The
two-story
brick
base
goes
up
to
to
cloud
the
first
and
second
floors.
AV
There
are
canopies
again
on
this
side
of
the
building
as
well
to
show
where
the
parking
entrance
is
there's
a
glass
corner
at
the
corner
of
this
sidewalk
and
church,
and
that
sidewalk
that
leads
the
pedestrian
from
that
corner
all
the
way
through
to
paseo
to
the
far
left
in
the
project.
So
it's
a
real
activated,
interesting
ground
floor
next,
please
materials
again
this
the
brick.
AV
AV
AV
So.
This
is
the
view
entering
the
from
the
paseo.
The
glass
corner,
accents
that
as
a
special
place
on
the
site.
You
can
see
the
terraces
of
the
fourth
floor.
You
can
see
the
recessed
windows,
the
retail
bays
that
are
also
wrapping
around
the
entire
three
sides
of
the
building
here,
the
paseo
church
street
and
castro
street.
AV
Next,
please
and
here's
a
view
from
the
paseo
with
nick's
garden
and
planting
and
the
ground
floor
expression
and
the
upper
floor
expression
showing
all
the
depth
of
facade
custom,
light,
fixtures
and
canopies
of
varying
depths
to
provide
character
and
interest
and
activity
for
people
thanks.
Please
and
then
here's
a
view
of
the
corner.
AV
So
we've
we
think
this
would
be
a
really
great
addition
to
the
street
in
this
neighborhood
and
it
promotes
a
lot
of
activity
and
should
should
be
good
for
promoting
the
retail
activity
as
well.
Nice
materials,
nice
detailing,
feel,
like
it's
contextually,
correct
for
this
site
and
it
it
respects
the
neighbors
and
respects
the
neighborhood.
AV
X
AW
Good
night
yeah
sorry
yeah
thanks.
I
I
know
we're
running
a
bit
long,
so
I'll
be
brief
here
with
the
exhibit
that's
up
on
the
screen
right
now.
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
brief
moment
and
highlight
the
community
benefit,
some
of
which
staff
touched
on
that
we're
proposing
as
a
part
of
our
project,
the
public
parking.
AW
And
finally,
as
staff
mentioned,
we
are
offering
a
more
aggressive,
tdm
plan.
I
believe
the
requirement
in
downtown
is
is
eight
percent
and
and
we're
targeting
a
20
for
production.
With
that.
I
want
to
thank
thank
you
all
for
the
time
this
evening
and
both
myself
and
the
team
are
here
and
available
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank.
A
U
V
AU
AL
U
AW
U
Okay
and
a
question
for
staff:
this
is
this-
is
sort
of
the
first
council
meeting
on
this
on
this
project.
That's
that's
been
held
other
than
closed
sessions
and
in
private
negotiations,
and
so
would
we
normally
with
a
a
prominent
corner
like
this?
Would
we
normally
want
to
sunshine
the
process
in
some
way,
or
is
that
just
not
part
of
what
we
do.
P
Councilmember
lieber,
I
could
answer
that
you're
right
there
were
some
closed
sessions
earlier
to
discuss
other
iterations
of
the
project
and
that
might
have
led
to
a
different
kind
of
project
that
would
have
required
additional
approvals,
potentially
a
change
to
the
floor
area
ratio
of
the
project
and
with
the
project
of
that
type
we
absolutely
would
have
had
study
sessions.
We
call
those
gatekeeper
projects
and
they
would
we
would
have
had
a
study
session
for
those
the
applicant
changed.
P
U
U
P
There
wasn't,
but
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
that
typically
we
do
staff
makes
that
determination
and
there
are
times
when
an
applicant
may
not
wish
to
have
one,
but
staff
would
certainly
determine
that.
We
need
additional
council
direction,
because
you
know
there
might
be
more
than
one
way
to
go
on
a
project
or
it
might
be
a
gay
keeper
project
that
requires
specific
council
direction.
P
P
AL
P
You
know
we
we
do,
I
think
we've
we've
tried
to
describe
the
site
planning
process.
The
fact
that
the
the
precise
plan
is
quite
prescriptive
and
you
can
see
it's
the
effect
of
the
precise
plan
on
all
four
corners
of
the
intersection
at
church.
You
could
see
how
the
buildings
come
close
to
the
street.
P
We
try
to
activate
the
street.
The
driveways
are
moved
away
from
the
intersections
and,
in
this
case,
a
slightly
unusual
piece,
because
this
is
right.
Adjacent
to
city
hall
actually
required
a
landscape
plaza
between
city
hall
and
the
proposed
new
building
and
and
that
did
not
leave
many
options
to
locate
the
building.
V
N
Thank
you.
I
do
have
a
few
questions.
I
want
to
start
with
attachment
one
on
page
26,
but
let's
see
it's
pdf
page
32.
and
it
is
regarding
condition.
I
think
it's
187
item
5
the
work
hours
and
it
says,
downtown
work
hours-
are
7
a.m
to
11
a.m
and
1
30
p.m,
to
4
p.m,
unless
otherwise
approved
by
the
public
works
director.
N
So
I
had
sent
in
a
question
about
that
asking.
Why
were
the
downtown
work
hours
different
than
other
work
hours
in
the
city
and-
and
I'm
thinking
did
I
misunderstand
that
condition,
because
the
answer
back
was
they're
the
same,
so
I'm
wondering
are,
you
know,
was
I
not
clear
on
my
question
or
do
those
hours
apply
to
something
else,
or
can
you
help
me
sort
that
out.
N
N
P
N
The
parking
at
this
project
is
very
dependent
on
having
a
an
attendant
there
to
help
folks
use
the
tandem
parking,
as
well
as
the
parking
that
I
would
characterize
as
being
in
the
isles,
and
I'm
wondering
do.
We
have
any
other
developments
in
mountain
view
where
the
parking
is
configured
in
this
way.
P
AW
Thanks
council,
we
did
consider
a
few
different
design
options,
but
we
felt
based
on
our
our
own
experience,
that
tenants
actually
prefer
attendant
assist
versus
the
puzzle.
Lifts
because
there's
some
time
associated
with
getting
your
car
out
when
it's
in
a
puzzle
lift
or
a
stacker
system
versus
just
having
a
traditional
valet,
help
retrieve
your
car.
N
N
AS
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members
don
cameron
public
works
director,
I
believe
I'm
being
asked
to
help
respond
to
councilmember
vatic's
question
related
to
condition
187,
which
is
the
construction
management
plan.
The
construction
management
plan
is
all
about
the
traffic
control,
detour
plans,
truck
route
construction
and
it
affects
the
right-of-way.
AS
So
these
hours
you
see
here,
we
do
tend
to
limit
the
hours
that
they're
impacting
the
public
right
away
in
the
downtown.
So
that's
why
you
see
these
particular
hours.
You
even
see
that
break
between
11
30
a.m
and
1
30
p.m.
Is
that's
because
we're
having
the
downtown
lunch
rush
and
we
do
not
want
these
off-site.
We
do
not
want
off-site
construction
activities
impacting
the
rest
of
the
operations
of
downtown
during
that
period,.
N
Okay,
so
can
I
make
sure
I
understand
this,
so
the
traditional
construction
hours
apply
to
people
who
might
be
working
on
building
the
buildings,
who
are
there
doing
framing
or
something,
but
these
hours
apply
to
when
you
can
cross
the
public
right-of-way
or
interrupt
the
public
right-of-way.
Is
that
correct?
That
is.
N
I
know
that
we've
had
some
issues
with
parking
spilling
over
into
the
neighborhood
at
the
building
across
the
street
and
people
not
necessarily
using
the
underground
parking.
This
might
be
a
question
for
our
city
attorney.
Can
we
condition
that
people
who
drive
vehicles
to
this
building
are
required
to
park
in
the
underground
parking
and
not
in
other
locations?.
AH
N
AU
And
council
member
mataji,
if
I
could
interrupt,
I
just
wanted
to
add
in
some
information
on
that
particular
topic-
condition.
Number
49b,
which
is
the
transportation
demand
management
program
staff,
has
specifically
added
a
section
in
there
which
says
that
you
know
the
applicant
is
required
to
regularly
communicate
and
actively
encourage
all
office
and
retail
tenant
employees
to
park
in
the
on-site
garage
and
not
on
street
during
business
hours,
and
also
provide
contact
information
of
a
like
a
specific
person
who
can
respond
to
any
complaints
that
are
received
for
on-stage
parking
by
their
employees.
AU
N
Great,
thank
you.
I
guess
I
still
have
the
question:
can
we
condition
it
and
how
would
we
enforce
it,
which
I
think
might
be
a
challenge?
So
I'm
wondering
how
we
might
do
that.
Let's
see
also
condition.
14
is
referring
to
rooftop
decks
and
I
was
just
wondering:
do
we
actually
need
to
clarify
that
to
say
we're
actually
referring
to
the
terraces
on
the
third
floor
and
the
fourth
floor,
because
there
is
no
rooftop
deck.
N
N
Okay,
also,
when
I
met
with
the
applicant,
we
were
talking
about
ground
floor
uses,
and
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
having
now
all
the
ground
floor
uses
commercial
versus
the
last
version
of
this
we
saw
so
thank
you
for
that.
We
talked
about
maybe
non-profits
and
and
the
more
I
got
to
thinking
about
that,
I
got
to
thinking
that
most
nonprofits
that
I'm
aware
of
you
know
it's
a
lot
of.
They
have
a
lot
of
offices.
N
AW
Yeah,
so
I
I
think,
I
think,
to
to
start
we're
probably
gonna
focus
on
on
on
traditional
retailers,
but
if
we
do
go
down
the
non-profit
path,
we
have
had
a
couple
of
conversations
with
groups
that
are
one
in
particular,
is
a
bike
coffee
shop,
combo
and
they're
looking
to
have
a
location
up
the
peninsula.
They
have
one
location
down
in
san
jose,
but
obviously
it's
a
little
early
to
to
get
to
those
conversations,
but
that
would
be
something
that
would
be
community
facing
and
obviously
a
retail
type
use.
N
AH
N
U
So
how
would
this
all
fit
together
with
you
know
if
there's
if
there's
20
less
spaces
than
are
needed
and
and
others
are
free
to
come
and
park
there
and
there's
nothing
really
to
stop
people
from
parking
on
a
a
city
street
help
help
me
understand
how
all
this
fits
together.
Is
it?
Is
it
plausible
that
people
who
work
in
these
offices
would
take
the
the
22
bus.
M
Rob
I
don't
know
if
you
want
me
to
jump
in
here,
but
I
think
I
understand
the
question
I
think
just
one
point
of
clarification
is
that
the
the
public
parking
is
provided
outside
of
office
hours.
So
it's
not
in
addition
to
the
office
parking
reduction,
it's
a
it's
a
separate,
separate
use
and
then
also
with
the
tdm
plan.
AW
Exactly
it
would
be,
we
haven't
fully
fully
figured
that
out
yet
councilmember
libre
but
it'd
probably
be
a
key
card
access,
which
is
what
we
use
across
the
street.
So
you
would
have
the
gate
or
the
gate
arm
down
during
business
hours,
and
then
it
would
open
up
after
business
hours
and
on
weekends.
So
the
public
had
unfettered
access
to
the
garage
and
then
to
answer
the
question
on
the
the
employees
in
the
building.
Yes,
we'd
expect
them
to
use
public
transportation
and
primarily
caltrain.
U
U
There's
there's
multiple
ground
floor
uses
that
you're
showing
us
and
then
there's
going
to
be
offices,
multiple
offices
above
and
so
none
of
the
people
who
come
to
visit
those
sites
would
be
able
to
park
on
site
and
20
of
the
people.
That
work
on
site
would
not
have
a
parking
space
on
site,
and
am
I
understanding
that
pretty
correctly.
P
Council,
member
lieber,
if
I
may
explain
a
few
things
we
we
try
to
put
a
number
of
these
items
together
when
a
parking
study
is
done,
it
considers
the
uses
office.
The
ground
floor
uses
typical
visitors
who
may
come
and
go
and
so
that
office
use
encompasses
the
needs
of
that
office.
Use
it
also
the
ground
floor
uses
the
study
encompasses
the
needs
for
patrons
to
come
and
go.
P
To
what
extent
can
we
put
in
a
condition
that
goes
to
the
maximum
extent,
to
make
sure
that
there
is
somebody
taking
care
of
people
parking
in
the
garage?
So
when
we
put
all
that
together,
we
come
up
with
the
number
and
in
this
case
the
255
spaces
that
are
being
provided
actually
slightly
exceed
the
requirement.
AW
AW
U
I
I
think
so
I
think
so
and
yeah
I
just
I.
I
take
the
22
bus
occasionally
and
just
to
check
out
the
quality
and
and
all
those
good
things,
and
I
have
to
say
that
I
don't
notice
a
whole
lot
of
people
that
are
our
tech
workers
that
are
on
the
el
camino
bus
but
yeah.
I
I
think
that
the
the
bank
is
is
obviously
across
the
street.
That's
it's
lower
intensity.
U
U
S
Thanks
mayor,
I
have
quite
a
few
different
questions,
but
especially
given
the
questions
that
my
colleagues
asked,
but
I
think
that
I'll
I'll
go
this
direction
first,
so
I
my
understanding
is
that
the
here
it
is,
this
is
first
off
the
heritage,
trees
that
exist
on
the
property
near
the
the
driveway
on
church.
Currently,
do
not
you
know,
qualify
to
be
saved.
S
City
policies
so
that
we
can
do
more
heritage
tree
preservation
did
the
staff
feel
like
this
is
something
that
could
be
part
of
you
know.
I
know
we're
looking
at
the
parks
and
open
space
master
plan,
I
know
that
the
trees
have
come
up
quite
a
bit
as
we've
been
looking
at
development
throughout
the
city
and
would
just
appreciate
some
direction
from
staff
on
where
we
might
be
able
to
insert
the
conversation
to
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
this
topic.
P
We
consider
the
biodiversity
strategy,
a
three-pronged
strategy
that
would
apply
to
you,
know,
city
parks,
city
projects
and
streets
and
also
private
development,
and
so
I
think
the
goal
is
to
move
the
city
in
the
same
direction
as
we
review
what
is
happening
all
over
the
city
in
the
same
way,
and
we
might
be
able
to
create
options
for
people
to
do
to
to
save
trees
and
and
maybe
build
differently
right,
because
each
site
is
different.
That's
one
example
at
this
point
our
we.
P
S
Okay,
okay,
okay
and
then
a
question
for
the
applicant.
I
know
that
there's
been
much
discussion
and
there's
been.
Maybe
you
can
share
the
efforts
that
you
made
in
terms
of
looking
into
preserving
the
trees,
and
you
can
share
a
little
bit
of
like
kind
of
how
you
made
the
decision.
The
landscaping
and,
I
think,
that'd
be
helpful.
AW
And
then
we
had
a
tree
moving
reputable
tree
moving
service,
look
into
it
as
well,
and
the
arborist's
position
was
that
the
three
trees
are
very,
very
close
together
and
they
share
a
root
ball
system,
and
if
we
were
to
remove
or
try
to
move
the
trees,
we
would
have
to
kill
two
and
we'd
only
be
able
to
really
move
one
and
that
one
tree's
survival
rate
would
be
very,
very
low.
If
not
it
would
eventually
die
was
was
his
recommendation.
AW
We
did
parallel
to
that.
Have
a
tree
moving
service
that
we
recently
used
on
our
project
in
pere
up
in
north
bay
shore,
which
was
a
very
large
oak
tree,
and
we
had
them,
take
a
look
at
these
three
trees
and
even
if
we
were
to
try
to
move
one,
there
wasn't
enough
room
on
the
site
to
get
down
low
enough.
There's
a
ramping
system.
AW
You
have
to
create
to
go
down
below
the
root
ball
and
set
it
on
a
massive
flatbed
and,
and
unfortunately,
there
wasn't
enough
room
without
tearing
up
a
significant
area
of
the
park
or
church
street.
In
order
to
do
that-
and
those
were
the
letters
I
believe
were
shared
with
the
city,
and
I
believe
the
city
arborist
reviewed
those
well
as
well
and
had
the
same
conclusion.
S
Thank
you
and
then
I
you
know,
I
think,
in
terms
of
like
the
replacement
trees,
there's
been
a
discussion
of
the
type
of
variety
of
those
replacement
trees.
Maybe
you
could
also
share
a
little
bit.
I
think
there's
been
quite
a
bit
of
community
feedback
on
you
know
native
trees.
Maybe
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
as
well
for
the
applicant.
D
S
S
I
read
the
hexagon
study
and
I
know
that
as
a
as
a
state
we've
moved
from,
you
know,
levels
of
service
to
bmit
and
we're
seeing
bills
and
the
legislature
that
are
reducing
parking
minimums
that
one
was
related
to
affordable
housing,
but
I
know
that
there's
discussion
happening
there,
so
you
know
kind
of
given
the
community
feedback.
You
know
that
the
city
is
also
looking
at
a
downtown
parking
strategy.
S
AW
I
I
will
say
that
you
know
we
obviously
utilized
our
building
across
the
street
as
a
bellwether
and
also
used
a
handful
of
other
projects
in
similar
locations
up
and
down
the
peninsula
located
within
a
half
mile
of
caltrain
and
found
that
the
parking
requirement,
I
was
actually
less
than
what
what
we
would
be
providing
here
at
two
155
stalls.
I
think
we're
targeting
1.9
or
2.1
per
thousand.
AW
AW
But
I
would
suggest
that
we
wouldn't
wouldn't
ever
offer
building
a
project
and
consider
spending
this
amount
of
money
without
providing
enough
parking
to
to
to
fulfill
the
tenant
requirements.
The
first
question
we
always
get
from
attendant
is
how
much
parking
are
we
offering?
So,
hopefully
that
helps-
and
it
looks
like
gary's
on
too
so
if
we
want
to
go
through
the
the
parking
study
we
can,
we
can
do
that
as
well.
S
AW
S
I
think
the
project
across
the
street,
which
you
have
has
has
parking,
I
mean,
has
there
been
thought
process
to
redirecting
people
back
into
your
other
building
or
to
create
way
findings
so
that
your
tenants
will
know
that
they
can
park
there?
Should
that
this
be
an
issue
I
mean,
despite
the
tdm
measures,.
AW
That
that's
a
good
question.
Unfortunately,
we
have
to
keep
the
project
separate,
although
that
parking
is
underutilized.
All
those
stalls
are
currently
leased
up,
obviously
some
to
our
employees,
but
we
do
have
a
couple
other
tenants
in
the
building
and
and
those
leases
have
the
parking
allocated
to
them,
so
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
to
redirect
over
there.
S
Okay
got
it,
thank
you
yeah
great,
and
then
this
question
was
for
staff.
I
think
the
uniqueness
of
this
project
was
the
no
well.
One
of
the
aspects
is
the
noticing
radius,
that
it
was,
you
know,
adjacent
to
city
hall,
and
it
only
had
the
750
foot
radius.
I
know
there's
been
discussion
about
expanding
the
noticing
radius
to
a
thousand
feet
or
more
can
you.
Let
me
know
how
we
might
be
able
to
address
expanding
the
notification
radius
and
what
council
might
need
to
do
to
have
that
happen.
P
P
If
we
could,
you
know,
define
the
boundaries
differently
and
extend
beyond
and
extend
beyond
it,
but
we'll
take
that
internally
and
make
a
proposal
to
the
city
manager
to
see
how
we
can
move
forward
when
there
are
projects
that
are
adjacent
to
other
city-owned
property,
for
example
right,
that's
rather
large,
but
that
750
feet
may
not
cover
the
typical
radius.
It
will
cover
from
those
projects.
T
AU
T
AX
AU
So
with
you
know,
currently
the
project
site
primarily
has
a
surface
parking
lot
in
just
one
single
story
building.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
surface
parking
lot
trees
which
contribute
to
around.
I
think
23
percent
plenty
coverage.
I've
mentioned
it
as
a
staff
report
and
with
this
additional
tree
planting
with
the
new
project,
majority
of
the
project
site
will
be
covered
with
the
with
the
proposed
building,
but
the
applicant
will
be
planting
these
trees.
A
lot
of
them
will
be
48
and
36
inch
blocks
and
it
will
be
able
to
meet
the
tree.
AU
T
Okay,
and
so,
given
that
it
actually
covers
a
very
smaller
point
that
the
canopy,
where,
where
it's
open
space,
is
going
to
be
a
lot
greater.
Yes,
okay,
thank
you.
I
I
that's
what
I
wanted
to
ascertain,
then.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
attack
to
talk
about
is.
Is
you
mentioned
the
size
of
the
boxes
of
the
trees
that
are
used?
T
You
know
earlier
this
evening,
albert
jean
showed
us
some
pictures
of
you
know
of
of
of
trees
that
that
really
don't
look
like
they've
grown
very
much
in
the
last
few
years
and
and
sort
of
they
started
out
small.
So
can
you
talk
to
us
a
little
bit
about
you
know
these
relative
size,
trees?
I
mean
24
boxes
are
pretty
big.
That's
what
24
and
48
I
thought
I
saw
listed.
Those
are
pretty
big
trees,
right,
yeah,.
AU
AU
T
I
I
think,
that's
you
know
that
that's
that's
important
for
our
community.
I
mean
we're
all
feeling
the
need
for
shade
and
that
shade
is
going
to
be
available
really
early
in
this
project.
It's
not
going
to
be
something
we're
going
to
you
know
our
grandchildren
are
going
to
see
it's
good,
it's
going
to
be
there
right
when
we
get
there,
okay
and
then
then
I
I
also
wanted
to
talk
to
ask
a
question
about
the
valet
parking.
T
You
know
there.
We
talk
a
lot
about
parking
requirements
and
I
think
many
times
we
don't
talk
about
the
psychology
of
using
underground
parking,
lots
and,
frankly,
a
lot
of
people
think
at
night,
underground
parking
lots
are
kind
of
scary,
and
so
they
avoid
them,
and
so
I
was
wondering
if
the
where
the
utilization
of
valets
having
attendance
there
all
the
time
is
there
some
information
that
shows
that
that
produces
a
better
sense
of
security
and
consequently
people
would
use
these
more.
AU
I
don't
think
we
have
looked
into
that
particular
aspect
or
did
much
research
on
that.
But
I
think
one
thing
that
I
would
like
to
clarify
is
that
the
valet
parking
program
is
available
during
the
daytime
or
during
the
business
hours
and
rob.
You
can
correct
me
if
I'm
stating
anything
incorrectly
here
and
the
shared
public
parking
in
the
underground
parking
garage
is
going
to
be
available
at
the
at
the
first
underground
parking
level,
the
p1
level
so
yeah,
it's
limited
to
just
the
first
level
of
it.
AW
I
I'm
happy
to,
if
you
don't
mind,
councilmember
show
walter.
We
do
have
a
security
plan
for
the
garage
where
tenants
can
have
a
security
escort
go
down
to
the
garage,
because
we
did
find
that
in
other
projects,
people
were
weary
about
going
underground
at
night,
and
so
at
599
castro
across
the
street.
We
have
a
security
guard
throughout
the
night
that
roams
the
garage,
but
also
is
available
to
escort
employees
if
they
they
end
up
working
late
into
the
evening,
and
we
propose
the
same
on
this
project.
T
AW
AW
W
AW
N
W
P
Councilmember
matatek,
I
I
I
was
just
talking
to
staff
about
this
as
well
as
dawn.
One
of
our
goals
is
to
create
a
tdm
ordinance
that
allows
us
to
track
some
of
this.
We've
just
started
approving
applications
that
are
going
to
once
they're
built
going
to
have
to
submit
annual
reports
to
the
city
and
at
that
time
we'll
be
able
to
track
it
better.
But
I
know
from
my
personal
experience
with
some
of
the
larger
office
projects.
P
N
P
AS
Okay,
if
I
may
add
on
just
a
little
bit,
if
you
don't
mind,
the
other
important
thing
is
we
have
in
the
last
year
hired
the
tdm
analyst.
So
we
now
have
a
staff
person
whose
responsibility
is
to
ensure
that
all
these
reports
are
submitted
to
analyze.
The
data
that
comes
in
he's
already
been
very
actively
he's
reported
out
to
me
the
list
of
projects
that
have
already
been
built
that
are
due
to
submit
reports
and
he's
going
to
be
reaching
out
to
all
of
them
soon
to
say.
Okay,
I
want
to
start
seeing
them.
AS
N
Thank
you
and
I
apologize-
I'm
multitasking
here
a
little
bit
reading
these
conditions
over
and
over
and
over
searching
for
things.
So
I
might
have
missed
this,
but
I
did
hear
that
there
would
be
a
point
person
if
there
are
issues
with
parking,
not
in
the
parking
lot
like
on
city
streets,
that
people
could
say
hey,
I
think
you
know
there
are
some
people
who
work
in
that
building
that
are
parking
on
the
street.
Is
there
a
designated
like
parking
manager
for
this
project?
P
N
N
AH
AW
Yeah,
thank
you
councilman,
matac
and
and
jennifer
yeah.
We
do
have
draft
language
and
if
you
don't
mind,
I
can
just
read
out
what
that
might
say.
So
the
parking
management
plan
will
also
address
measures
to
maximize
the
project's
office,
tenants
and
visitors
to
park
in
the
parking
structure
and
not
the
surrounding
public
streets.
If
the
city
manager
or
his
or
her
design
designee
determines
this
goal
is
not
being
met,
and
there
are
persistent,
documented,
persistent
parking
issues
caused
by
the
project.
N
U
This
diagram
shows
that
there's
there's
plantings
that
would
screen
part
of
the
view
of
of
drivers,
and
so
how
will
all
these
inputs
and
outputs
work
together
and
will
there
be
something
that
would
no
longer
allow
people
to
turn
turn
east
or
how
would
this
work
and
and
how
many
trucks
can
be
either
alongside
the
building
or
in
the
space?
That's
the
park
right
now.
AU
If
I
need
to
you
know,
if
I
can
speak
regarding
the
comment
regarding
planting
at
the
corner
of
the
driveway
entrance
from
church
street,
those
are
to
screen
the
utilities,
but
those
are
not
going
to
be
taller
landscaping.
That
is
going
to
be
intercepting
the
traffic
visibility
triangle,
because
that
is
the
standard
requirement
by
pretty
cool.
So
we
do
not
allow
them.
AU
U
AU
U
That
also
has
a
similar
number
of
spaces
that
are
ground
floor
ground
spaces,
but
also
a
very
extensive
under
underground
parking
parking
deck
down
there.
So
what's
what's
the
plan
b?
If
it
doesn't
look
like
those
pieces
will
fit
together,
gracefully
and
and
maybe
kids
aren't
going
to
be
good
enough
at
running
across
two
lanes
of
traffic
and
and
all.
AU
So
if
I
may
speak,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
did
look
at
the
multimodal
transportation
analysis
of
the
project.
Some
of
these
aspects,
you
know
where
the
driveway
locations
are
considered,
the
turning
lanes
are
considered
and
what
the
project's
impact
with
the
255
spaces
and
the
expected
trip
generations.
AU
What
is
that
going
to
do
to
the
transpiration
system?
You
know
that
exists
there.
Right
now,
with
the
mta
study,
we
found
that
it's
not
going
to
have
significant
impact,
and
that
is
a
study
done
by
a
technical
expert.
So
stuff,
that's
gonna,
depend
on
those
results
and,
at
the
same
time,
be
very
careful
in
reviewing
the
construction
management
plan
which
comes
in
during
the
construction
phase
as
well.
AW
Council
member,
if
if
there
becomes
an
issue,
I
think
we'd
be
open
to
that,
I
will
say:
we
have
300
and
don't
quote
me
on
the
exact
number
but
360
stalls
across
the
street
and
so
far
we
haven't
run
into
any
issues
over
there.
But
if
there
was
an
issue
and
a
challenge,
we
would
absolutely
be
open
to
that.
U
AW
U
AW
U
AS
Thank
you,
I
think
we're
all
thinking
about
it
a
little
bit
and
you
know
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
the
when
the
building
plans
come
in.
They
are
also
reviewed
by
our
traffic
engineering
section,
and
you
know,
interning,
that
site
sight
lines
are
maintained
and
even
after
operations,
the
buildings
occupied
and
things
and
traffic
is
out
there.
AS
AS
Other
aspects
of
it
now
just
kind
of
thinking
off
the
cuff
here
they've
got
a
tdm
coordinator
on
site,
for
instance,
so
it
could
be
possible
maybe
to
work
something
in
here
about.
Should
there
be
determined
that
there
is
a
high
pedestrian
demand
of
crop
head
crossings
of
their
driveway
at
their
peak
period
of
use
that
that
their
tdm
program
coordinator
would
need
to
work
with
the
city
to
come
up
with
potential
solutions
to
ensure
the
safe
crossing
of
those
pedestrians,
while
they
are
seeing
peak
dry
weight
demand
right
now.
AS
U
A
Thank
you.
We
can
always
continue
asking
questions,
but
I
think
it
would
be
good
to
seek
public
input.
It
is
getting
late.
So
let
me
read
the
language
here.
Would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to

so,

AZ
Yes,
hello.
Thank
you,
mayor
ramirez,
thank
you,
council
members
and
thank
you
representatives
of
the
company,
sobrato.
Sorry,
it's
late.
I
am
really.
I
really
appreciate
what
the
council
members
brought
up
as
far
as
the
questions,
I
thought
they
were
really
really
helpful
because
it
answered
a
lot
of
questions
that
I
had.
So
I
don't
really
have
a
question.
All
I
have
to
say
is
a
slight
story,
so
I'm
going
to
kind
of
change
this
and
be
as
quick
as
possible.
AZ

Hello,
so
one
thing
I
want
to
say
is
last
time
this
was
supposed
to
come
up
a
what's:
it
called
the
property
on
sorry,
it's
cutting
very
late,
a
property
over
in
the
industrial
area
in
terra
bella
was
approved
for
being
residential,
even
though
it
was
nowhere
near
a
park
school
or
grocery
store.
This
is
a
location.
That's
next
to
in
quarter.
Mile
has
two
parks.
AC
It's
across
from
the
library
has
a
walkable
grocery
store,
a
public
pool,
and
it's
three
quarters
of
a
mile
from
two
different
schools.
This
is
a
place
that
should
have
residential.
We
shouldn't
be
approving
industrial
lots
for
residential.
We
should
be
improving
parkside
lots
for
residential.
Also,
I
wanted
to
double
check.
I
think
it
was
brought
up
that
parking
would
also
be
for
retail
employees.
I
wanted
to
confirm
that,
because
they're
often
the
ones
that
need
the
longer
term
parking
and
if
they
don't
have
parking,
they
go
to
the
residential
areas.
AC
AB
Thank
you
mayor,
I'm
going
to
try
to
squeeze
in
as
much
as
I
can
bruce
england
speaking
for
mountain
view,
coalition
for
sustainable
planning.
We
submitted
an
earlier
comment
letter
ahead
of
your
april
12
meeting
on
this,
and
we
ask
that
you
take
that
into
account
during
your
deliberations.
I'm
sure
you
remember
every
word
of
it,
but
I
will
make
these
points.
AB
This
project
represents
a
significant
departure
from
what
exists
at
the
corner
of
church
in
castro
today
since
the
start
of
the
project,
we
wanted
it
to
wait
for
phase
two
of
the
downtown
precise
plan
update.
We
can't
help
but
wonder
if
it
wouldn't
have
been
allowed
had
that
update
occurred.
First,
the
large
building
proposes
inconsistent
with
the
existing
flow
between
castro
and
church
streets
pioneer
park
library,
not
to
mention
the
performing
arts
center
plaza
just
beyond
there.
We
should
remember
that
this
area
of
downtown
has
a
strong
family
focus
that
must
be
maintained.
AB
We
don't
agree
that
this
fits
the
human
scaled
building
design
the
project
that's
office
space.
We
don't
really
need
which
will
serve
to
further
exacerbate
our
existing
jobs,
housing
and
balance,
and
that
said,
there
are
specific
elements
that
concern
us.
I
won't
be
able
to
go
into.
The
sidewalk
on
church
street
is
too
narrow
and
should
be
widened
to
be
consistent
with
the
increased
building
size
and
the
trees.
AR
A
BA
Got
that
right,
I'm
robert
cox
and
I'm
speaking
as
a
member
of
the
steering
committee
of
livable
mountain
view.
As
has
been
noted,
there
are
several
majestic
redwoods
near
the
edge
of
this
project
site
which
share
our
neighborhood
and
deserve
to
be
saved.
It
is
a
shame
that
saving
these
trees
was
not
made
a
priority,
even
though
our
group
and
other
community
groups
have
lobbied
repeatedly
for
their
retention.
BA
One
need
only
look
at
the
large
redwoods
across
church
street
to
see
that,
in
the
recent
past
mountain
view
considered
preserving
majestic
heritage
trees,
a
city
priority
have
our
values
changed
these
trees
are
our
allies
in
the
fight
against
climate
change?
Let's
add
saving
these
trees,
a
condition
for
approval
of
this
project
and,
let's
change
our
downtown
precise
plant,
to
require
preserving
more
heritage
trees
by
maintaining
a
percentage
of
the
existing
mature
tree
canopy
on
every
new
project.
Thank
you.
AR
All
development
fronting
on
castro
street
must
be
built
to
the
back
of
the
sidewalk,
then
eagle
square,
which
is
where
the
park
place
is
all
development.
Fronting
castro
street
must
be
built
to
the
back
of
the
sidewalk,
and
so
a
park
place
which
was
built
in
1989
does
not
go
to
the
sidewalk
on
church.
It
goes
into
an
l
shape.
That's
why
they've
preserved
the
trees.
So
I'm
completely
puzzled
as
to
why
the
staff
has
approved
a
building
that
goes
to
the
edge
of
church
street,
claiming
that
that's
what
the
precise
plane
requires.
AR
BB
Hello,
thank
you.
Preserving
the
trees
is
a
public
health
question.
The
trees
filter
protect
particulate
matter
from
our
polluted
air,
especially
during
the
fire
season,
which
is
now
a
lot
longer
than
a
couple
of
months.
Particulate
matter
kills
humans
through
inhalation
of
toxics
that
are
too
tiny
to
be
seen,
but
tiny
enough
to
be
captured
in
your
lungs.
This
leads
to
serious
disease
and
shorten
life
expectancy.
BB
Shade
provided
by
the
trees
is
our
at
our
enemy,
our
protection
against
our
enemy
ozone.
Ozone
is
created
by
our
greatly
increased
heat.
It
likes
to
come
close
to
the
ground,
especially
when
there
is
concrete
car
exhaust
and
toxic
chemicals.
Ozone
can
kill
the
shade
created
by
mature
trees,
disrupts
the
ozone
and
protects
human
life
saving
heritage.
Trees
is
not
just
about
something.
Pretty,
though
we
need
whatever
beauty
we
can
find.
BB
AG
AG
According
to
the
report,
though,
full
cannot
be
won't
be
reached
for
15
years.
I'd
also
like
to
mention
that
redwood
trees
are
not
your
standard
deciduous
trees
they're
much
taller
than
they
are
wide,
so
even
though
they
may
have
a
somewhat
smaller
canopy,
which
is
always
measured
from
looking
directly
from
above
they're.
Actually
the
actual
shower
they
cast
is
much
much
greater
and
in
terms
of
the
actual
tonnage
of
foliage,
is
much
bigger
than
most
decituous
trees.
I
am
happy
to
see
that
they
are
planning
to
use
three
inch
and
four.
AG
Y
There
we
go
good
evening.
Thank
you,
mayor
ramirez.
This
is
peter
katz,
president
and
ceo
of
the
mountain
view
chamber
of
commerce.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
in
support
of
sporado's
plans
for
development
of
590
caster
history.
This
project
has
traveled
a
long
journey
to
get
to
this
point.
There
have
been
passionate
discussions,
including
design
use
construction
practices,
trees,
green
space
and
parking,
especially
where
certain
aspects
were
viewed
as
outside
of
compliance
guidelines.
Y
There
have
even
been
lovely
and
caring
comments
from
the
public
voicing
concern
about
the
chamber,
as
it
literally
impacts
our
doorstep.
Thank
you
for
that.
Please
be
assured
that
we
have
been
actively
engaged
in
conversations
for
quite
a
while
and
remain
emphatic
in
our
support
of
the
project.
The
concerns
raised
are
valid
and
important.
That
is
why
we
have
clear
guidelines
and
requirements
in
city
codes
and
ordinances.
The
project
is
out
of
compliance,
it
rightly
should
be
questioned
and
the
process
works.
Y
Significant
revisions
have
been
made
and
as
of
this
hearing,
the
project
is
now
in
full
compliance
with
city
requirements.
It
is
consistent
with
the
vision
of
the
general
plan,
the
downtown
precise
plan,
the
downtown
parking
strategy.
It
has
been
recommended
for
approval
by
the
zoning
administrator,
the
subdivision
committee,
the
city
staff
and
their
latest
council
report.
So
how
is
it
that
a
project
can
pass
all
these
milestones
and
not
be
put
forward?
If
you
follow
the
rules,
you
should
be
allowed
to
proceed.
X
Yes,
I'm
here
to
say:
please
save
the
tree,
there's
our
trees
and
please
do
not
cut
down,
so
you
can
put
a
big
project
up
there.
Even
the
famous
architect,
frank
roy
wright.
He
never
killed
any
tree
in
his
project.
So
please,
mayors
and
council.
Please
beat
us
with
us
instead
of
listening
to
the
speak,
gigantic
rich
powerful
contractors.
I
Hey
rob
good
to
see
you
ted
friend
buddy.
You
can't
get
me
all
excited
about
new
brick
construction,
only
to
eventually
break
my
heart
with
a
slide
that
reveals
the
so-called
brick
is
just
mostly
plastic,
eifs
cladding,
with
brick
pattern
stamped
orange
dyed
stucco,
it's
not
fair.
I
know
I
know
seismic
safety
and
all
that,
but
that's
what
steel
skeletons
are
for
you
could
make
it
happen.
I
believe
in
you,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
could
do
the
same
racing
with
mass
timber,
I'm
getting
off
track.
I
I
I
BC
AY
Yes,
I
would
like
to
add
my
voice
for
saving
the
trees,
the
redwood
mature
heritage
trees
at
the
edge
of
the
property.
I
was
actually
present
at
the
drc
meeting
last
october
2021
and
gave
that
input,
and
I
believe
one
of
the
architects
that
was
present
at
the
meeting
gave
the
same
input.
These
trees
are
very
important
to
the
health
and
the
sustainability
of
the
community.
AY
AY
G
G
If
we're
gonna
have
this
building
also
for
possible
non-profits,
maybe
there
could
be
some
sort
of
non-profit
dedicated
towards
building
community
land
trusts
or
affordable
housing
and
that
so
that
the
city
itself
would
not
have
to
get
into
the
housing
business,
but
we
could
have
local
trusted
partners
that
would
be
able
to
make
sure
that
there
is
affordable
housing
for
people
in
the
city
of
mountain
view,
and
we
don't
become
an
exclusive
place
for
the
rich
yeah.
Thanks.
BD
W
BD
Office
space
we've
just
been
through
a
once-in-a-lifetime
pandemic.
Working
habits
are
changing
completely.
We
don't
even
know
that
we
need
more
office
space.
In
mountain
view,
google
may
be
subletting
for
all.
We
know.
So
the
premise
is
office
space
and
let's
look
at
what
they're
trying
to
do.
We
keep
talking
about
parking
and
valet
and
squeezing
things
in
they're
trying
to
put
too
much
on
a
small
space.
BD
That's
the
whole
problem
here.
The
mountain
view
should
be
clear
that
these
heritage
trees
are
a
priority.
This
space
is
a
basically
open
space.
It
should
not
have
another.
Oh
let's
match
the
other
four-story
buildings
on
that
corner
the
corners
already
that
intersection's
already
looking
awful,
we
put
another
four-story
building,
it's
going
to
look
even
worse.
I
would
I
I'm
actually
shocked
and
dismayed
that
this
proposal
has
even
gotten
this
far
can't
something
like
this
be
killed
at
city
staff.
It's
completely
inappropriate.
BD
BE
Yes,
we
can
all
right,
so
I
don't
have
a
huge
opinion
on
this
other
than
it
looks
like
pretty
decent
land
use
to
have
a
big
commercial
space
in
downtown,
with
some
retail.
This
checks
most
of
the
boxes.
I
think
most
of
the
things
that
I'm
a
little
frustrated
about
this
development
have
to
do
with
city
requirements,
so
I
think
it's
building,
even
though
there's
a
parking
reduction.
BE
Hopefully
we
we
end
up
doing
our
job
right
and
then
the
other
thing
is
just
it's
up
against
the
the
for
the
four-story
height
requirement,
and
you
know
you
could
be
getting
a
lot
more
use
out
of
it
being
taller
it's
in
the
middle
of
town.
We
have
stuff,
that's
taller,
really
close
to
it.
I
don't
see
why
that's
a
requirement,
so
you
know
it's
not
like.
I'm
super
excited
about
this
stuff,
but
it
does
generate
property,
tax
revenue
and
it's
a
good
central
location
for
this
sort
of
thing.
N
Yes,
thank
you.
This
is
mary
harter.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
Can
you
hear
me
okay?
So
I
wanted
to
say
first
of
all
that
I
very
much
support
saving
the
three
redwoods.
I
think
the
building
should
be
redesigned.
I
don't
think
that
the
city
should
have
ever
traded
the
lease
of
the
back,
alleyway
or
driveway
to
sobrato
without
requiring
that
those
trees
be
saved.
It's
really
really
unfortunate
that
that
wasn't
leveraged.
N
I
also
want
to
tie
something
together
just
prior
to
the
pandemic.
In
february
2020,
I,
on
a
daily
basis,
had
office
workers
from
605
castro
walking
from
right
in
front
of
our
house
where
they
parked
more
than
750
feet
over
to
their
offices,
and
I
would
I
would
say
to
them,
as
I
was
taking
out
the
trash
or
whatever
what
office
do
you
work
in
and
they
would
say.
N
Oh
we
work
at
quora,
so
office
workers
are
willing
to
walk
750
feet
plus
to
park
in
front
of
our
house,
but
we
can't
get
notices
for
meetings
more
than
750
feet.
My
understanding
from
folks
in
the
neighborhood
who
did
attend
that
meeting
is
that
five
people
were
there.
That
was
the
community
meeting
and
no
neighborhood
notice
was
done.
So
I
think
we
have
something
very
wrong
here
when
the
neighborhood
isn't
given
notice
about
community
meetings
and
we
only
hold
one.
A
Thank
you
very
much
mary.
I'm
sorry,
you've
exhausted
your
time
and
I
have
to
be
fair
to
everyone
and
julie.
I
see
you
put
your
hand
back
up,
but
similarly
I
can
only
allow
members
of
the
public
to
speak
once
seeing
no
other
members
of
the
public
wishing
to
speak.
We
will
return
to
the
council
for
deliberation
and
I'll
note
that
a
motion
to
approve
the
recommendation
should
also
include
reading
the
title
of
the
resolutions
attached
to
the
report.
Councilmember
lieber.
U
Thank
you
mayor.
Well,
I
I
won't
be
making
a
a
motion
of
support.
Unfortunately,
I
do
feel
very
strongly
that
what
has
been
proposed
for
us
and
put
before
us
is
is
not
a
good
development
and
it
is
not
beneficial
for
our
our
community
and
I'm
sad
to
have
to
note
that.
But
I
I
need
to
be
loyal
to
my
constituents.
U
U
U
The
architectural
design
of
structures
are
not
compatible
with
the
surrounding
area.
The
location
and
configuration
of
structures,
parking
landscape
and
access
are
inappropriately
integrated
and
incompatible
with
surrounding
development,
including
public
streets
and
sidewalks,
and
other
public
property
in
terms
of
the
the
also
under
the
development
review.
U
A
T
T
T
We
were
not
able
to
make
a
change
in
the
precise
plan,
and
so
the
applicant
has
come
forward
with
a
with
a
with
a
building
that
is
compliant
to
our
precise
plan
requirements
and
he's
and
they've
done
that
by
talking
a
great
deal
to
the
city
and
certainly
to
the
chamber
of
commerce
and
apparently
not
as
much
to
some
of
the
neighboring
community
members
as
they
would
have
liked,
and
that
that
is
very
unfortunate.
I
would
really
like
to
see
in
the
future.
T
We
do
give
some
more
thought
to
who
are
people
who
live
within
the
influence
of
a
project
instead
of
just
what
the
distance
is.
But
there's
some
really
I
mean
this.
Is
you
know
there?
This
is,
I
think
this
is
actually
a
beautiful
building.
That's
been
proposed.
I
certainly
like
the
idea
that
there
are
extra
trees.
T
I
think
it's
very
sad
that
the
redwood
trees
on
the
edge
need
to
be
removed,
but
I
do
think
that
a
great
deal
of
effort
has
been
made
to
find
out
whether
they
could
be
saved
or
not,
and
sometimes
the
answer
for
doing
things
like
moving
trees
is
just
no,
it
won't
work,
those
trees
will
die
and
nobody
wants
the
trees
to
die.
So
I
think
that
that's
you
know
that
is
a
that
is
sort
of
the
sad
part
of
this.

A
N
Thanks,
so
I
want
to
go
back
to
the
potential
additional
condition
regarding
an
agreement
between
sobrato
and
their
tenants
about
parking
and
underground
parking,
and
you
know
just
like
I
we
were
talking
about.
It-
would
be
hard
for
the
city
to
enforce
something
like
that,
just
in
general.
So
how
would
it
really
be
enforced
and
what
would
be
the
potential
ramifications
of
violating
that?
How
would
that
potentially
work?
N
N
N
I'm
I'm
definitely
not
happy
about
the
removal
of
the
trees.
We've
certainly
heard
a
lot
about
that
tonight.
I
appreciate
that
it
was
looked
at
on
how
to
save
those
trees
and
I
still
wish
we
could
find
a
way
to
do
that.
But
it
sounds
like
that's
not
going
to
be
possible,
which
is
really
really
frustrating
cause
like
I
said
I
think
you
know
we
we
might
have
done
something
different
had
we
had
an
opportunity
to
update
the
downtown
precise
plan.
N
I
I
do
have
you
know
I
feel
like
now.
I'm
getting
down
to
details
that
you
know
in
the
whole
scheme
of
things
are
very
minor
details,
but
I
think
they
would
help
make
the
project
a
little
bit
more
consistent
with
the
look
and
feel
of
downtown-
and
I
have
talked
to
the
applicant
about
this
as
well
as
some
folks
that
on
staff
and
first
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
lighting
in
the
plaza
is
pleasing
and
consistent
with
a
nice
atmosphere.
N
Downtown,
I
you
know,
am
not
looking
for
sparkly
lights.
That
remind
me
of
I
don't
know
a
different
city
I
feel
like
it
has
to
be
warm
and
inviting,
and
so
I
would
propose
a
condition
for
the
applicant
to
work
with
staff
to
modify
the
plaza
lighting
in
terms
of
the
color
and
not
necessarily
the
location,
because
there's
there
are
pool
lights.
There
are
there's
lighting
like
underneath
the
planters
in
the
seating
area
and
there
are
a
couple
other
lights.
I
didn't
so
much
mind
the
fixtures.
N
It
was
the
colors,
so
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
those
are
pleasing
and
have
us
a
nice
atmosphere
downtown.
So
that
would
be
a
condition
that
they
would
continue
to
work
with
city
staff
on
what's
the
of
added
check?
Is
it
we
take
these
one
at
a
time
just
so
I
we're
able
to
accurately
capture
your
recommendations,
yep.
So
maybe
just
a
proposal.
N
But
just
really
quickly
checking
with
with
staff
does
that
need
to
be
a
condition
for
approval,
and
then
I
have
to
check
with
the
maker
of
the
motion.
If
that's
an
amenable
modification
and
then
do
we
also
need
to
get
the
consent
of
the
applicant
to
see
if
they're
willing
to
accept
these
modifications
voluntarily.
N
That's
fine
with
me,
okay
and
me
too,
council
member,
matacek
yep,
so
a
second
one
would
be.
I
thought
the
bike
racks
could
be
a
little
bit
a
little
less
industrial
and
more
interesting
without
having
an
impact
on
you
know
the
functionality
of
them,
which
is
to
safely
secure
your
bike.
So
I
would
propose
that
the
applicant
work
with
staff
to
refine
the
bike
racks
to
be
less
industrial
and
more
artistic
without
negatively
impacting
their
basic
functionality.
N
N
It
looks
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
art
throughout
the
city.
That
is
something
on
the
top
of
like
a
column
or
a
poll,
and
I
think
it
could
be
something
other
than
that,
something
that
is
interesting
and
engaging
and
is
different
than
other
art.
We
have
throughout
the
city,
and
I
would
recommend
that
we
have
the
applicant
continue
to
work
with
staff
to
find
some
artwork.
That
is,
as
I
said,
more
interesting
and
artistic
and
isn't
something
on
a
pole.
N
I
would
propose
that
that
be
incorporated
as
well
regarding
the
parking,
if
I
may
read
that
just
for
clarification,
the
parking
management
plan
will
also
address
measures,
and
this
is
16b
to
maximize
the
projects.
Office,
tenants,
guests
and
visitors
will
park
in
the
parking
structure,
not
on
the
surrounding
public
streets,
if
the
city
manager
or
his
or
her
designee,
and
we
can
replace
that
don-
and
I
will
talk
between
the
two
of
us,
we
could.
We
could
name
the
community
development
director
and
or
the
public
works
director
instead
determined.
N
N
N
N
Thank
you
very
much,
council
member
lieber.
Is
it
okay?
If
council
member
command,
I
take
a
turn
and
then
we'll
come
back
for
a
second
round.
Thank
you,
council
member
command,
thanks
mayor,
so
I
I
have
a
couple
comments
as
well,
so
I
I
feel
torn
about
this
project
as
well.
I
think
that
we
as
a
as
a
city
as
a
council,
step
forward
a
general
plan
plan,
precise
plans
to
let
people
know
our
vision
and
to
to
create
some
predictability.
N
However,
things
change
over
time-
and
this
is
why
we're
looking
at
revising
our
downtown
precise
plan
because
we'll
get
form
compliant
projects
that
are
no
longer,
I
think
the
fit
for
where
the
the
city
and
the
community
are
going,
and
it
leads
to.
I
think,
frustration
for
council
frustration
for
our
residents
and
the.
I
think
that
led
to
a
lot
of
the
questions
that
that
we
asked.
So
you
know
I
think,
in
terms
of
appealing
to
to
colleagues
and
to
and
to
staff,
you
know,
I
think
that
there
are
things
that
we
can
do.
N
One
of
them-
and
I
was
heartened
to
hear,
is
you
know
we
tonight
adopted
our
biodiversity
plan
on
consent
as
part
of
that,
as
a
follow-up
staff
seem
to
answer
me
that
we
can
look
at
our
heritage
tree
ordinance
and
how
we'd
like
to
that
to
go
forward.
I
think
that
we
really
need
to
make
a
concerted
effort
to
prioritize
this
as
we're
looking
at
developments
all
across
our
city,
and
so
I
think
as
much
as
we
can
expedite
that
review.
N
N
If
we've
learned
anything
over
the
the
course
of
the
pandemic,
it's
that
we
need
to
be
proactive
as
much
as
possible
and
there's
no
such
thing
as
over
communication.
You
know
we
we
need
to,
and
so
I
think,
expanding
the
the
radius
and
doing
direct
outreach
to
our
neighborhood
associations,
the
more
the
better,
particularly
as
we're
seeing
projects
that
are
gonna
affect
different
communities
of
our
city.
N
But
given
that
we
have
the
downtown
precise
plan
that
we
have,
I
feel
like
yeah.
I
appreciate
council
member
mata.
Tech's
suggestions
is
we're
trying
to
to
do
the
best
with
what
we
can
and
pulling
those
levers
where
we
can
so
some
additional
things
I'll
be
supporting
the
the
conditions
that
council
member
mata
check
mentioned,
and
I
know
that
the
motion
maker
and
the
seconder
also
will
be
supporting
those.
N
But
for
the
ground
floor
I,
the
city,
is
looking
at
an
economic
vitality
strategy
as
well
as
a
small
business
action
plan.
Given
that
the
chamber
is,
you
know,
adjacent
to
this
property,
I'd
really
like
to
be
able
to
find
ways
where
we
can
work
on
making
sure
that
we
have
local
businesses,
making
sure
that
we
are
implementing
the
results
of
our
economic
vitality
strategy
into
into
this
area.
N
I
think
we
constantly
get
feedback
that
we
would
love
to
see
what
we
see
on
the
100
and
200
and
300
blocks
of
castro
expand
beyond
there.
So
I'd
really
like
to
to
use
these
two
city
plans
as
ways
to
make
sure
that
we're
activating-
and
I
liked
the
idea
of
looking
at
a
variety
of
different
tenants,
whether
it
could
be
potential
child
care
or
whether
it's
non-profit
space.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
different
ways
that
we
can
go
to
make
this
a
true
community
asset
and
community
benefit.
N
The
only
other
thing
that
I'd
like
to
add
is
the
transportation
demand
management
program
says
that
reporting
needs
to
be
annual.
I
think,
given
the
feedback
given
the
reduction
in
parking
and
given
the
additional
condition
that
was
proposed,
I
I
wonder
if
we
can
get
something,
that's
quarterly
or
something
that's
can
give
council
of
a
fuller
picture
of
how
the
tdm
program
may
be
working,
and
I
ask
this
because
perhaps
other
projects
will
come
forward
wanting
to
do
a
reduction,
a
parking
reduction.
N
I
really
want
us
to
be
able
to
be
tracking
those
metrics
as
we're
as
we're.
Seeing
applicants
do
that,
so
that
would
be
a
request.
I
don't
think
that
needs
to
be
a
condition,
but
I
do
think
at
least
a
quarterly
report
on
how
the
tdm
program
is
working
on
this
site
makes
complete
sense,
given
given
the
feedback
and
given
the
the
situation
related
to
parking
and
then
kind
of
just
an
overall
comment
would
be.
You
know
I'm
hopeful
too,
that
this
can
be
a
relationship
builder
between
the
applicant
and
residents.
N
I
think
our
residents
have
really
great
ideas
in
terms
of
articulation
of
how
to
activate
the
the
ground
floor,
landscaping
and
ways
to
to
bring
greater
biodiversity
to
the
area.
So
I
think
I
hope,
too,
that
this
can
be
an
opportunity
for
the
applicant
to
continue
to
communicate
with
residents,
seek
their
feedback
so
that
this
can
be
a
community
asset.
So
that's
that's
all
I
have.
I
don't
think
that
any
of
those
require
anything
additional
mayor
but
kind
of
turn
to
you
and
staff.
Those
are
suggestions.
I
would
hope.
Thank
you.
N
I
I
believe
we're
already
going
to
be
follow
up
following
up
on
the
notice
thing:
it
wouldn't
be
a
condition
for
the
project,
but
something
for
us
to
take
back
for
future
projects,
but
quarterly
reports
on
the
tdm
program
and
don
can
corroborate
this.
We
typically
require
a
certain
period
of
time
to
show
that
it's
working
and
typically
we
try
to
do
it
over
the
year.
N
Yes,
you,
your
travel
patterns,
can
change
from
season
season,
vacation
period
and
so
on.
Quarterly
is
is
a
lot
because
there's
a
lot
involved
with
counting
and
and
so
on.
I
have
seen
situations
could
consider
twice
a
year
for
the
first
two
years.
For
instance,
I've
seen
situations
like
that
and
where
you
say,
okay,
we've
done
it
for
two
years,
they're
meeting
the
requirements,
the
tdm
requirements.
Now
they
can
go
to
annual
reports
so
that
that
could
be
one
possibility.
N
Captain
rebecca,
are
you
comfortable
with
that?
I'm
comfortable
with
that
I
mean
I.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
just
I
think
any
any
data
is
better
than
no
data,
so
appreciate
it.
No
problem.
Thank
you
I'll,
take
a
quick
turn
and
start
by
reiterating
some
good
points
made
by
council
members,
matashak
and
kameh.
N
N
When
there
are
certain
factors
out
there,
but
I
I
think
that
this
really
makes
it
incumbent
on
all
of
us
to
to
do
the
necessary
cleanup
work
and
to
make
sure
that
this
doesn't
happen
again,
because
this
is
basically
semi-permanent
at
this
corner.
It's
it's
not
going
to
change
in
the
foreseeable
future,
and
this
is
not
something
that's
supported
by
the
community
at
large.
N
Don
go
ahead.
Thinking
back
on
the
last
discussion.
We
just
had
about
tdm
reporting,
if
you
do
want
us
to
put
in
the
requirement
that,
for
the
first
two
years,
they're
going
to
report
every
six
months
and
then
may
go
to
an
annual
report,
if
they're
meeting
the
trip
reduction
targets,
that
really
does
need
to
be
part
of
the
motion,
because
it
changes
the
condition
of
approval.
N
N
N
N
I
mean,
I
know:
I've
lost
five
trees
in
my
backyard
due
to
an
infestation,
that's
related
to
the
drought
and
we've
just
all
seen
lots
of
trees
go
and
we
know
how
important
trees
are
to
you
know
to
our
community
and
for
climate
change
protection
and
just
the
the
beauty
of
our
community.
So
we
know
that
that's
really
important.
N
So
another
thing
I
just
wanted
to
mention
is
is
how
important
it
is
that
not
only
do
we
consider
the
downtown
precise
plan
but
revisiting
the
heritage
tree
plan
and
how
we
can
encourage
our
canopy
increase
our
canopy.
I
mean
those
are
those
are
signals
we
have
heard
from
our
community
loud
and
clear
and
they're
very
important.
So
I
you
know
I
I
hope
nobody
takes
away
from
this
discussion
that
we
didn't.
N
N
N
N
N
I'm
sorry
to
have
to
do
this
so
late,
but
the
the
the
city
generously
paid
for
me
to
attend
the
national
league
of
city
summer
meeting
I'm
on.
I
serve
on
the
energy
environment
and
natural
resources
committee
and
that's
when
the
policy
meeting
takes
place.
So
since
I've
expended
those
funds,
I
need
to
tell
you
about
it
in
spite
of
the
fact
that
it's
late,
the
media
was
in
atlanta
and
it
was
at
the
end
of
july
and
on.
N
I
mean
there's
a
60-page
book
essentially
of
them,
and
but
they
haven't
changed
a
great
deal
from
last
year,
but
there
were
some
policies
that
didn't
make
it
through
last
year
related
to
coal,
and
so
this
year
we
are
redoing.
Those
to
you
know
to
hopefully
make
them
able
to
pass.
We
we've
gotten
some
people
from
coal
country
to
go
over
the
policies
with
us
and
hopefully
they'll
you
know
they'll
pass
muster.
N
N
But
the
major
take-home
message
from
all
I
heard
was
really
that
there
is
a
lot
of
funding
coming
down
from
washington.
Most
much
of
it
will
be
distributed
through
states
from
the
bipartisan
infrastructure
legislation
or
the
bill.
We
heard
that
at
the
national
league
of
cities
congressional
conference
in
in
march,
but
the
message
was
given
again
and
they've
gotten.
You
know,
since
that
it
passed
several
months
ago.
N
A
lot
has
been
done
to
talk
about
the
specific
programs
and
and
how
the
implementation
will
go
forward
and
how
you
can
apply
for
those
funds
and
the
lea.
The
national
league
of
cities
really
sees
this
as
as
a
huge
part
of
their
job
for
the
next
year
to
help
the
cities
across
america
access
these.
You
know
these.
These
huge
funding
sources,
so
they've
created
this
hub.
N
This
local
infrastructure.org
hub-
and
it
literally
has
online
curriculum
for
30
programs
to
help
cities
figure
out
how
to
get
grant
money,
and
then
there
are,
you
know,
there's
a
there's,
one-on-one
assistance
available
for
cities
that
that
would
like
to
take
like
help
and
following
up
on
the
grant.
So
I
I
wanted
to
mention
that
to
everybody
there's
a
summary:
there
was
a
summary
presentation
that
the
the
staff
staff
are
from
nlc
gave
us
on
the
advocacy
that
they
had
done
all
year.
N
I'll
share
that
with
you
tomorrow
in
an
email,
and
we
also
had
an
interesting
presentation
on
cyber
security
issues
related
to
water
and
wastewater
plants
and
I'll
share
that
with
you
as
well.
Apparently,
cyber
security
is,
I
mean,
I
guess
we
all
knew
know
this,
but
it's
ubiquitous
and
so
a
great
deal.
N
So
I
will
share
that
that
that
presentation
with
you
as
well-
and
it
was
it
was-
it
was
really
a
great
experience
to
to
meet
with
people
who
were
so
enthusiastic
about
policy
issues
around
the
country
and
if
any
of
you
were
thinking
about
signing
up
for
some
of
the
policy
committees
that
nlc
has.
I
I'd
certainly
be
glad
to
share
with
you
what
my
experiences
were.
Thanks,
I
mean.
Does
anybody
have
any
questions,
not
this
late?
Okay,
you
can
call
me
if
you'd
like
to
talk
about
it.
N
Thank
you
very
much,
councilmember
matat.
Thank
you.
I
failed
to
mention
at
our
last
meeting
that
I
participated
in
a
board
meeting
of
the
bay
area,
water
supply
and
conservation
agency
on
july
21st.
You
know
things
have
changed
so
quickly.
I
feel
like
I
don't
have
anything
to
report
out
from
that,
because
you
know
the
situation
has
changed
since
then.
N
I
also
participated
recently
in
a
meeting
of
the
santa
clara
county
airport
land
use
commission,
and
we
continue
to
work
on
an
update
to
the
comprehensive
land
use
plan
for
the
san
jose
airport
and
when
san
jose
airport
changes
their
master
plan,
we
have
to
change
the
club
as
we
call
it.
The
comprehensive
land
use
plan
based
upon
their
new
master
plan
and
we're
in
the
process
of
doing
that
and
doing
the
environmental
assessment
on
that,
and
that's
it
for
me.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you
very
much.
Councilmember
lieber.
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
feel
duty
bound
to
respond
to
council
member
shel
walters
report
by
saying
that
back
in
2002
there
was
a
young
detective
in
mountain
view,
pd
named
chris
chung,
who
uncovered
an
al-qaeda
plot
to
attack
communication
systems
in
in
america,
as
well
as
water
infrastructure
and
electrical
infrastructure.
And
I
I
think
he
was
really
one
of
the
first
to
put
those
those
traces
together
and
to
put
our
nation
on
on
alert.
So
we
can
be
proud
of
that.
N
Thank
you
and
council
member
show
walter
and
councilmember
matacek.
You
reminded
me.
I
also
failed
to
report
something
in
accordance
with
city
council
policy.
A
two
I
guess
it
is.
I
need
to
disclose
that
I
attended
the
mayor's
innovation
project
in
tacoma
washington.
That
was
also
taxpayer
funded.
I
think
the
conference
was
august
4th
through
6th
and
it
included
a
number
of
presentations
on
zoning
reform
and
using
data
to
achieve
equity
goals,
a
very
interesting
set
of
presentations.
