Description
San Bruno City Council Meeting February 12, 2013
8a. Transit Corridors Plan
A
I,
don't
never
ate
public
hearings.
We
have
two
public
hearings
this
evening.
The
first
public
hearing
item
a
hold
a
public
hearing
and
adopt
a
resolution
certifying
the
final
environmental
impact
report
for
the
San
burner.
Transit
corridors
plan
adopt
a
resolution
amending
the
general
plan
to
ensure
consistency
with
the
transit
corridors
plan
and
adopt
a
resolution
adopting
the
San,
better
transit
corridors
plan
and
provide
direction
regarding
next
steps.
Staff
report,
please.
C
E
F
B
B
We
would
have
liked
to
have
brought
this
item
forward
more
expediently,
but
unfortunately
it
is
one
of
the
many
items
that
experienced
some
delay
with
the
tragic
circumstances
of
the
September
9
2010
explosion
and
fire.
So
we're
doubly
happily
happy
to
be
here
tonight
with
culmination
of
this
work
effort
and
the
exciting
promise
that
this
plan
lays
out
for
the
community
of
san
berdo.
B
We
have
a
thorough
and
comprehensive
staff
report
tonight,
after
which
we
would
ask
that
you
take
public
comment
and
then
deliberate
among
yourselves
prior
to
taking
the
actions
that
are
proposed
for
your
attention
tonight
and
I'll
turn
over
to
staff
in
just
one
moment.
But
I
wanted
to
recognize
the
significant
work
effort,
the
and
the
attention
and
dedication
in
bringing
this
vision
plan
forward.
That's
been
devoted
by
the
staff
members
to
my
right.
B
So
with
that,
I
would
ask
our
new
director
of
community
development
who
I
would
have
recognized,
except
that
he's
only
been
here
a
couple
of
weeks,
and
so
he
has
the
exciting
opportunity
to
see
this
plan
from
this
point
forward
into
actual
implementation.
So
without
ask
David
to
make
a
few
comments
and
then
he
will
turn
over
to
staff.
Thank
you
good.
E
E
This
plan
is
a
specific
plan
and
a
specific
plan
is
defined
in
state
planning
law,
and
this
is
a
type
of
plan
that
blends
policy
and
regulatory
requirements.
The
regulatory
requirements
might
be
things
like
height
limits
or
land.
You
stipulations,
it's
the
same
type
of
plan
that
was
prepared
and
used
to
guide
the
successful
development
of
the
crossing
mixed-use
project
here
in
town
along
the
North
westerly
side
of
el
camino.
E
Real
work
on
this
plan
began
in
2008
when
the
city's
redevelopment
agency
approved
preparation
of
a
specific
plan
to
guide
the
redevelopment
of
the
city's
downtown
core
along
san
mateo
avenue
and
the
streets
directly
adjacent
to
it,
including
el
camino,
real
san
bruno
Avenue
and
Huntington
Avenue.
The
overall
project
area
is
about
a
hundred
and
fifty
acres
in
size.
E
E
One
might
ask:
why
was
this
plan
necessary
and,
as
one
would
look
at
the
planning
area,
the
150
acres
that
I
described?
It
was
noted
that
there
were
some
vacant
buildings,
some
areas
that
were
in
disrepair,
deferred
maintenance.
Some
land
uses
that
weren't
entirely
compatible
with
the
area
street
improvements
in
landscape
treatments
that
seemed
out
of
date
and
could
be
upgraded.
E
While
the
planning
area
offers
some
some
areas
of
concern,
it
also
offers
tremendous
opportunity
for
the
San
Bruno
community.
It's
an
area
that
includes
the
downtown
core.
It's
an
area
that
has
a
wide
range
of
transportation
options,
bart
caltrain,
a
variety
of
bus
lines
and
highways
in
the
vicinity.
Geographically,
the
area
is
close
to
San
Francisco,
the
Silicon
Valley
and
wider
San
Francisco
Bay
Area.
E
So,
while
there
are
concerns,
there's
tremendous
opportunity
here,
this
community-based
planning
effort-
that's
been
going
on
for
several
years
now
included
a
wide
range
of
research,
public
input
and
review,
and
it
did
include
the
preparation
of
a
full
environmental
impact
report
or
e
ir
with
the
preparation
of
the
Cir.
There
were
some
significant
and
unavoidable
impacts
identified
fact:
six
areas
of
potentially
significant
and
unavoidable
impacts,
and
these
areas
had
to
do
with
traffic
with
noise
and
with
historic
buildings.
E
Staff
needs
to
point
out
that
the
state
law,
the
California
Environmental
Quality
Act,
allows,
though,
that
as
communities
look
at
potentially
significant
and
unavoidable
impacts,
there's
an
opportunity
to
also
look
at
the
benefits
of
a
plan,
and
if
the
community
identifies
that
there
are
certain
social
or
economic
benefits
of
the
plan
that
may
outweigh
those
potentially
significant
impacts.
The
community
can
go
ahead
and
approve
the
plan
and
that's
done
with
a
statement
of
overriding
considerations
and
that's
part
of
the
plan
and
part
of
your
consideration.
E
E
G
The
transit
quarters
plan
creates
an
exciting
new
vision
for
how
the
project
area
could
develop
over
time
and
establishes
a
framework
for
revitalization
and
redevelopment
of
the
commercial
corridors
around
the
new
caltrain
station,
including
design
guidelines
as
a
road
map.
To
help
achieve
that
vision,
the
plan
area
was
chosen
based
on
the
existing
commercial
corridors
and
walking
distance
to
the
the
caltrain
station.
G
The
vision
for
the
transit
quarters
plan
was
created
by
the
community
during
two
community
workshops.
A
17-member
steering
committee
then
helped
to
develop
the
plan
building
on
the
vision
framework,
as
well
as
input
from
community
stakeholder
holders.
Outreach
has
included
widely
noticed
public
meetings
and
communications
with
residents.
Notices
were
mailed
to
2,500
residents
for
recent
public
meetings.
These
most
recently,
these
have
included
a
Planning
Commission
public
hearing
in
April
of
2012
to
discuss
the
environmental
impact
report.
G
A
city
city
council
study
session
in
October
of
last
year,
the
and
the
Planning
Commission
public
hearing
in
November,
where
the
Planning
Commission
recommended
that
the
City
Council
approved
the
plan
open
house
meetings
were
held
at
City
Hall
in
December
in
January.
Additional
outreach
has
included
articles
in
the
city
focused
newsletter,
a
project
website
that
has
received
over
800
visits
from
and
540
unique
visits
from
individuals,
as
well
as
community
development
staff,
community,
communicating
directly
with
residents
at
the
counter
by
phone
and
an
email
on
an
ongoing
basis.
G
Three
concerns
stand
out
in
our
communications
with
residents
in
the
plan
area
and
surrounding
the
plan
area
now
I'm
going
to
discuss
those
right
up
front.
The
first
is
that
is
the
subject
of
eminent
domain.
People
are
concerned
that
there
could
be
eminent
domain
associated
with
the
plan
and
that
couldn't
be
further
from
the
truth.
The
plant
has
no
does
not
propose
eminent
domain
of
any
existing
residential
properties
and,
in
fact,
we've
included
language
that
will
be
in
the
final
version
of
the
plan
that
explicitly
states.
G
Then
what
the
residents
were
also
concerned
about
what
the
plan
might
require
them
to
do
with
their
properties?
Property
owners
within
the
project
area
will
not
be
required
to
make
any
changes
unless
there
is
a
proposal
to
redevelop
the
property.
However,
the
plan
does
give
property
owners
more
options
on
how
they
can
develop
their
properties
by
allowing
mixed-use
development,
which
is
not
currently
allowed
and
clear
direction
with
design
guidelines.
And,
thirdly,
residents
were
concerned
about
the
impacts
of
taller
built
buildings
on
a
nation
on
adjacent
single-family,
neighborhood
sinks,
single-family
houses.
G
The
plan
includes
measures
to
minimize
the
impacts
of
new
development
on
residential
neighborhoods
to
the
greatest
extent
possible.
The
plan
will
include
a
summary
of
those
measures
as
an
appendix,
and
it's
also
included
in
the
resolution.
Adopting
the
plan
in
your
packet
and
Laura
will
speak
to
this
issue
in
her
presentation
a
bit
later.
G
G
There
are
seven
elements
in
the
vision
for
the
the
plan
area
and
the
first
is
downtown
as
a
day
and
night
destination.
The
plan
will
promote
downtown
as
a
destination
for
workers
and
residents
by
encouraging
new
businesses
such
as
restaurants,
cafes
and
shopping,
on
the
ground
floor
with
housing
on
top
local
character
and
a
distinctive
identity.
G
G
Convenient
multimodal
transportation
network
transportation
improvements
should
make
getting
around
the
transit
quarters
area
easy
and
convenient
to
encourage
transit
use
and
visiting
San
Bruno
linking
pedestrians,
bicycles,
shuttles,
buses,
Bart
caltrain,
as
well
as
automobiles,
sustainable.
Excuse
me,
economic
vitality.
G
The
transit
quarters
area
should
be
to
be
development
and
business
friendly
with
a
market-based
approach
to
encourage
growth,
attract
investor
interests
and
respond
to
local
and
regional
market
demands.
The
plan
envisions
new
job
opportunities
and
revenue
opportunities
for
the
city,
sustainable
mixed-use
development.
The
plan
envisions
a
mix
of
commercial
and
residential
buildings,
allowing
taller
buildings
up
to
four
five
and
seven
floors
in
specified
areas
to
add
vitality
and
foot
traffic
and
to
more
fully
realize
the
nearby
transportation
opportunities
that
the
city
offers.
G
G
The
plan
envisions
attractive
and
coordinated
street
and
landscape
improvements
that
encourage
walking
by
providing
highly
visible,
crosswalks,
attractive
design,
landscaping
and
traffic
calming
vibrant,
a
vibrant
transit
village.
The
station
area
should
be
developed
as
an
attractive
vibrant
transit
village
around
the
new
caltrain
station.
G
H
So
the
transit
corridors
plan
is
organized
around
five
character
areas
that
were
created
to
address
the
unique
strengths
and
also
the
opportunities
in
the
different
areas
of
the
plan.
So
you
can
see
here
on
the
map
and
the
City
Council
should
have
the
color
versions
in
front
of
them
as
well
that
the
yellow
area
is
the
caltrain
station
area.
This
is
envisioned
as
a
high-intensity
transit
oriented
development.
We
call
that
Tod
in
planners
speak.
H
H
The
green
area
is
san
bruno
avenue
and
huntington
avenue
south
of
380,
where
the
plan
envisions
mixed
uses
and
streetscape
improvements.
Orange
is
huntington
avenue
north
of
380.
That
could
include
streetscape,
bicycle
and
pedestrian
improvements
over
time.
The
pink
area,
of
course,
is
the
downtown
area
where
the
community
wanted
to
maintain
the
main
street
feel
of
that
area,
with
new
commercial
and
residential
opportunities.
H
The
plan
proposes
development
standards
that
would
create
the
maximum
building
envelope
for
new
projects.
A
key
component
of
that
is
height.
The
plan
proposes
an
increase
in
height
for
several
reasons,
to
provide
enough
residence
in
the
community
to
encourage
transit,
ridership
and
for
shopping
locally
for
good
urban
design
in
terms
of
proportion
massing
and
scale,
and
also
to
provide
economic
feasibility
to
redevelop
some
of
the
underutilized
properties
in
the
plan
area.
H
Under
the
current
height
limit
of
three
stories,
developers
cannot
include
enough
units
or
floor
area
to
be
cost-effective.
This
is
what's
been
reported
back
to
us
by
numerous
developers
over
the
years.
The
high
cost
of
land
on
the
peninsula,
as
well
as
the
cost
of
underground
parking,
make
a
three
story:
development
too
expensive
for
to
work
for
them.
So
projects
are
more
likely
to
pencil
out
if
they're
within
the
four
to
five
story
range.
H
So
basically
you're
familiar
with
some
of
this
terminology,
but
that's
like
a
three
to
four
stories
of
wood
frame
construction
over
a
podium.
I
know,
you've
heard
those
terms
before
and
seen
it
in
construction
in
some
other
places.
So
if
this
height
limit
is
increased,
older
commercial
properties
will
be
more
likely
to
redevelop
and
help
achieve
the
revitalization
goals
of
the
plan.
H
However,
the
height
limits
in
the
plan
would
require
a
citywide
vote
under
ordinance
1284,
so
you
can
see
in
this
slide
that
height
is
proposed
as
a
number
of
stories,
as
well
as
in
feet.
In
most
cases,
the
number
of
stories
would
be
the
more
restrictive
measure.
The
height
and
feet
is
included
to
allow
developers
some
flexibility
in
the
floor
to
ceiling
heights,
depending
on
the
kinds
of
buildings
they
may
propose.
The
tallest
height
is
proposed
in
the
station
area
west
of
San
Mateo
Avenue
and
closest
to
the
tracks.
H
H
So
the
next
tools
are
set
back
and
step
back.
The
plan
proposes
front
setbacks
to
create
space
for
pedestrians,
landscaping
and
outdoor
dining,
where
that
would
be
appropriate.
There
is
also
a
new
requirement
for
rear
setbacks
when
a
project
is
adjacent
to
existing
low
density.
Residential,
a
new
concept
in
the
transit
corridor
plan
is
a
step
back.
You
can
see
in
this
diagram
that
the
upper
floors
are
set
in
or
stepped
back
further
than
the
lower
floors.
This
reduces
the
mass
in
bulk
of
new
buildings.
H
So
the
council
is
probably
where,
but
just
as
a
brief
reminder
about
what
is
floor
area,
what
is
the
floor
area
ratio
so
the
floor
area
ratio
where
f
AR?
Is
the
ratio
of
building
square
footage
to
the
size
of
the
land?
So
you
can
see
in
this
diagram
just
to
talk
about
floor
area
that
a
2
point,
0
f
AR
can
vary
if
the
building
takes
up
a
whole
lot.
It
would
be
two
stories
or
it
may
be
taller
if
it
takes
up
less
of
the
lot.
H
So
a
majority
of
the
existing
sites
in
the
plan
area
are
less
than
20,000
square
feet
and
for
those
parcels,
the
FAA.
Our
limit
is
two
point
O.
So
these
pictures
on
the
slide
give
examples
of
what
a
2
point.
0,
f
AR
might
look
like.
Of
course,
if
buildings
are
constructed,
they
would
still
have
to
meet
the
setback
and
the
step-back
requirements.
H
For
parcels
greater
than
20,000
square
feet,
the
plan
proposes
a
change
and
that's
to
remove
the
FA
our
limit
and
regulate
by
height,
set
back
and
step
back,
basically,
the
maximum
building
envelope.
This
would
help
direct
larger
development
to
the
larger
particles
in
the
community,
where
it's
more
appropriate
to
do
a
large-scale
development
and
also
afford
more
room
for
good
site
planning.
There
are
currently
about
25
sites.
In
the
plan
area,
there
are
20,000
square
feet
or
larger.
H
In
other
cases,
developers
would
have
to
do
land
assembly
in
order
to
get
that
size
and
not
have
a
floor
area
ratio
limit.
So
the
maximum
building
envelope
proposed
by
the
plan
could
only
take
place
on
those
25
sites
or
if
other
sites
are
assembled
over
time.
So
we
would
expect
to
see
this
an
incremental
change
over
many
years.
So
when
you
look
at
this
diagram
of
the
maximum
building
envelope,
it's
it
still
looks
boxy
right.
H
So
staff
proposes
to
implement
the
transit
corridor
plan
guidelines
the
same
way
as
we
have
the
residential
design
guidelines,
which
has
worked
well
for
each
project.
The
Planning,
Commission
or
architectural
review
committee
would
have
to
make
a
finding
of
fact
that
the
project
complies
with
the
design
guidelines
in
the
transit
corridor
plan.
So
I'd
like
to
go
over
just
a
few
of
those
guidelines
with
you.
There
are
many
within
the
plan.
It's
very
important
that
applicants
break
up
the
building
mass
with
varying
planes.
H
H
So
I'd
like
to
move
on
to
now
to
the
transportation
policies
within
the
plan
bringing
the
land
uses
the
design
and
the
transportation
together
in
a
transit
oriented
development
area.
It's
important
to
implement
the
idea
of
Complete
Streets,
which
you're
familiar
with
from
the
policy
you
considered
in
december.
Complete
streets
can
be
understood
as
an
approach
that
considers
all
users
of
the
street
network.
That's
pedestrians,
bicyclists
motorists,
people
with
disabilities
and
transit
users.
The
plan
also
encourages
a
park
once
and
walk
strategy.
H
The
plan
proposes
that
the
city
consider
a
study
to
do
a
parking
in
luffy
and
that
could
potentially
be
used
to
fund
a
centrally
located
and
well-designed
parking
structure.
Another
proposed
approach
is
shared
perking,
which
allows
businesses
with
different
peak
demand
to
share
their
parking
spaces.
It's
important
to
note
that
the
plan
would
still
require
offsite
parking
for
new
developments.
There
are
some
transit
oriented
development
plans
that
wave
parking
requirements
completely,
and
this
plan
does
not
propose
to
do
that.
H
H
So
the
question
has
been
raised
by
the
residents
and
by
the
Planning
Commission.
How
was
the
plan
sensitive
to
the
existing
residential
areas?
So
the
plan
was
developed
to
help
projects
transition
into
the
existing
city.
But,
as
we
went
through
the
community
input
process,
we
realize
we
still
need
to
make
some
changes
to
the
plan
and
bring
more
emphasis
to
this.
H
So
the
first
important
point
is
that
all
new
buildings
will
go
through
a
public
review
process
for
each
project
staff
would
analyze
the
transition
to
adjacent
low
density
housing
and
make
sure
the
applicant
addresses
things
like
building
design,
privacy
impacts
and
exterior
lighting.
The
Planning,
Commission
or
architectural
review
committee
would
have
to
make
a
finding
of
fact
related
to
transitions.
So
this
will
bring
attention
to
this
issue
and
make
applicants
aware
that
this
is
an
important
community
priority.
H
I'd
also
like
to
emphasize
to
new
development
standards
that
came
through
the
public
review
process.
First,
the
plan
proposes
a
10-foot
rear
set
back
throughout
the
entire
plan
area.
When
the
project
is
adjacent
to
residential
uses.
This
could
actually
be
considered
an
improvement
over
the
existing
commercial
zoning
that
has
zero
setback
requirements.
H
Second
again,
based
on
community
comments,
the
step
back
requirements
next
to
residential
were
increased
so
as
proposed
tonight
when
a
project
is
adjacent
to
low
density.
Residential,
a
step
back
of
15
feet
is
required
above
the
third
floor,
so
this
increased
step
back
would
help
to
mitigate
concerns
like
light
shadow
and
privacy
concerns
and
as
I
mentioned,
on-site
parking
would
still
be
required
for
all
new
projects.
We
have
heard
from
the
community
that
they
are
concerned
about
spillover
parking
into
residential
neighborhoods.
H
To
address
this,
the
plan
recommends
expanding
the
residential
permit
parking
program,
so
the
city
already
has
such
a
program
that
could
be
expanded
to
address
those
needs.
Permits
could
be
issued
to
residents
allowing
for
enforcement
of
non-residents,
and
this
approach
has
been
successful
in
many
other
communities,
both
around
intensive
land
uses
such
as
schools,
as
well
as
in
transit.
Intensive
areas
like
this,
so
staff
does
believe
it
would
mitigate
those
cans
considerably
so
now
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
mark.
Thank
you.
G
All
right,
I'm,
going
to
first
go
into
just
a
little
bit
of
detail
about
the
environmental
impact
report.
A
full
environmental
impact
report
was
was
prepared
to
inform
decision
makers
in
the
public
of
potential
environmental
impacts
for
each
planned
policy.
The
e
ir
or
environmental
impact
report
determines
whether
there
is
a
no
impact,
whether
there
is
a
less
than
significant
impact,
a
less
than
significant,
significant
impact
when
mitigated
or
a
significant
and
unavoidable
impact.
G
G
The
six
unavoidable
impacts
are
not
unusual,
given
the
scope
and
long-term
timeframe
of
this
plan.
For
example,
the
the
Redwood
City
downtown
plan
had
well
over.
It
was
close
to
30
significant
unavoidable
impacts,
and
it's
also
really
important
to
remember
that
the
e
ir
analyzed
the
worst-case
scenario.
It
assumes
full
build-out
of
both
the
the
general
plan
and
also
of
the
transit
corridors
plan,
and
it
also
assumes
that
there
would
be
no
chat.
It
takes
into
account
some
change
in
commute
habits,
but
it
they're
they're,
relatively
small.
G
It
doesn't
address
how
people
might
commute
10
years
from
now
or
15
years
from
now.
So
in
order
to
certify
the
EA,
are
the
the
city
council
must
make
findings
that
the
benefits
of
the
plan
outweigh
the
unavoidable
impacts
identified
in
the
ER.
The
city's
Planning
Commission
has
reviewed
this
this
proposed
project
and
found
that
the
anticipated
benefits
outweigh
the
unavoidable
impacts.
The
Planning
Commission
has
recommended
that
the
City
Council
approved
a
statement
of
overriding
considerations,
finding
that
the
anticipated
benefits
outweigh,
that
is
to
say,
override
the
significant
and
unavoidable
impacts
and
approve
the
project.
G
The
first
one
is
revitalization
of
the
oldest
parts
of
the
city.
The
plan
will
remove
barriers
to
private
investment
in
the
area
by
encouraging
replacement
of
aging
underutilized
commercial
land
uses
that
no
longer
meet
21st
century
needs
with
new
mixed-use
development,
community
and
economic
benefits.
The
plan
promotes
the
creation
of
new
jobs
and
opportunities
for
for
residents
to
live
and
work
in
san
bruno.
It
will
promote
a
range
of
rental
and
for
sale,
housing
near
transit,
shopping
and
public
services.
G
New
development
will
contribute
to
the
tax
base
of
the
city
through
property,
tax
sales
tax
and
transient
occupancy
tax.
The
plan
will
provide
transportation
improvements.
The
plan
conforms
with
San
Bruno's
recently
adopted
Complete
Streets
policy
and
will
make
pedestrian
comfort
safety
and
convenience
a
priority.
The
transit
quarters
area
will
be
the
transit
hub
of
the
city
containing
tube
train
stations
and
connections
to
bus
routes,
making
the
area
in
appropriate
location
for
more
compact
development,
regional
planning
and
state
law.
G
G
And
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
implementation
of
the
plan,
given
the
current
uncertain
economic
climate
with
our
da
snow
RDA
funds
no
longer
available,
and
the
continuing
economic
downturn
is
unlikely
that
significant
changes
will
occur
in
the
transit
quarters
area
in
the
near
term.
However,
the
city
does
look
forward
to
a
vision
for
revitalized.
Modern,
downtown
and
transit
corridors
area
being
realized
over
time
as
new
projects
are
proposed
and
approved
in
this
important
area
of
San
Bruno.
Full
implementation
of
the
transit
corridors
plan
requires
two
important
future
steps.
G
First,
it
requires
revisions
to
the
city,
zoning
ordinance
and
second,
it
would
require
a
citywide
vote
to
amend
or
ordinance
1280
for
a
comprehensive
update
to
the
city's
zoning
code
is
currently
underway,
which
is
separately
required
to
implement
the
the
city's
general
plan.
If
the
transit
quarters
plan
is
approved,
the
code
update
will
include
the
relevant
elements
of
the
transit
corridors
plan.
G
G
The
transit
quarters
plan
proposes
allowing
structures
higher
than
three
stories
or
50
feet:
some
above-ground
parking
garages
and
increase
residential
densities
within
the
proposed
project
area.
A
voter
initiative
must
be
approved
by
a
majority
of
the
electorate
in
order
to
change
these
standards,
which
were
established
by
ordinance
12
84.
G
G
The
second
one
is
a
resolution
amending
the
the
general
plan,
including
changes
to
the
land
use
map
and
text,
and
the
third
is
approval
of
the
transit
corridors
plan
itself.
With
the
revisions
incorrect
in
Corrections
that
are
attached
to
the
resolution
and,
in
addition,
staff
seeks
direction
from
the
council
regarding
a
citywide
election
to
amend
ordinance
1284.
G
We
would
be
asking
for
your
guidance
on
how
to
proceed
with
the
ordinance
1284
to
fully
implement
the
transit
quarters
plan.
The
initiative
could
be
placed
on
a
special
election
ballot
in
June
or
the
general
election
ballot
in
November.
The
June
special
election
would
cost
approximately
180
thousand
dollars.
G
The
June
date
would
also
have
a
short
timeframe
to
prepare
and
it
could
be
difficult
to
meet.
Placing
the
initiative
on
the
next
general
election
in
November
would
cost
approximately
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
The
November
election
would
also
give
staff
more
time
to
achieve
making
that
the
goal
of
getting
it
on
the
the
November
ballot
and
with
that
I
concludes
my
presentation.
G
C
G
C
A
A
D
D
This
I
think,
if
you're
going
to
do,
you
can
I
think
that
you
should
put
1284
and
then
let
everybody
vote
on
it
that
anybody's
any
you
know
you're
looking
at
putting
a
seven-story
five-story,
building
five
doors
down
from
my
house
if
it
was
built
there
so
I'd
like
to
know.
If
anybody
did
anything
about,
you
know,
checking
the
impact
on
the
price
of
homes.
What
would
happen
to
the
existing
homes
in
that
area?
D
And
you
don't?
We
did
I
think
that
we
need
to
like
we
do
what
we
have
and
not
build
buildings.
It
says
here
that
you
want
to
put
a
mixed
housing
commercial
corridor
in
front
of
my
house.
I.
Don't
think
that
that's
right,
I
don't.
I
don't
see
that
being
a
benefit
to
anybody
that
lives
on
any
of
those
streets
there.
On
that
side,
el
camino,
when
they
built
Redwood
City
up.
D
They
built
it
in
the
heart
of
Redwood
City,
where
the
existing
commercial
buildings
were
and
I
just
think
that
if
you're
going
to
put
a
ballot
measure
on
there
for
12
84-
and
it's
only
going
to
be
concerning
the
people
that
this
is
going
to
affect
at
this
time,
that
I
think
it
should
affect
all
of
San
Bruno.
If
you're
gonna
change,
you
can't
just
change.
That
was
that
ordinance
was
put
there
for
a
reason
and
that
reason
was
to
keep
residential
properties,
residential
and
commercial
properties.
D
Commercial
and
you
guys
are
all
of
a
sudden,
because
you
want
to
develop
these
areas.
You're
gonna.
You
know
you're
going
to
impact
the
housing,
the
housing,
my
ball,
my
house
for
sure
I,
don't
know
about
anybody
else's,
but
my
house
for
sure
you're,
gonna
impact,
so
I'd
like
to
know
if
you
guys
have
done
a
study
on
what
happens
to
the
houses
that
are
behind
this
70
70
foot
tall.
Building
that
you
want
to
put
in
front
of
my
house,
has
anybody
done
that?
Okay.
D
D
I
F
F
F
I
I
D
I
know
I
knew
where
you
grow
up
and
I
know
that
you
know
we
went
through
this
whole
thing
with
the
sewer
issue
and
I
knew
that
you
guys
had
your
mind
made
up
before
I
came
up
here
and
we
went
to
this
whole
thing
last
time.
I
came
here
so
I
just
want
to
know.
Do
you
guys
have
your
mind
made
up
on
this
right
now?
Cuz,
let's.
A
D
A
Let
me
explain
something:
okay,
right
and,
and
your
time
is
up,
but
but
behind
that
this
is
very
important
to
write.
We
had
four
years
of
discussion
on
this
public
hearings
down
in
san
mateo
avenue
a
number
of
them
attended
by
not
only
the
17
members
of
the
community
that
were
on
this
committee,
but
a
lot
of
residents
also,
so
it's
no
secret
as
to
what's
going
on.
A
It's
no
secret
of
the
the
input
that
everybody
put
into
this-
and
this
is
the
outcome
of
all
of
that
very,
very
well
thought
out
and
very
well
thought
out
of
our
consultants,
I'm
going
to
get
an
answer
for
you.
If
we
have
an
answer
for
you
regarding
the
the
price
of
homes
or
the
effect
of
those
types
of
things,
but
this
is
this
is
nothing
that
that
is
is
predetermined.
This
was
done
after
for
over
four
years
of
thought.
A
very
well
thought
out
process.
A
K
Thomas
wells,
871,
easton
avenue
I
just
want
to
address
the
building
mass
and
possible
language
that
could
be
in
the
code
to
determine
what
the
massing
would
be.
I
mean
a
lot
of
the
pictures
that
were
shown
of
the
step
back
switch
occur
over
or
say
three
stories
and
height
still
gave
the
building's
a
huge
presence
on
the
street
in
what
I
would
call
a
brick.
K
It's
just
a
big
flat,
plain
and
I
would
encourage
the
the
staff
to
introduce
some
language
in
there
that
that
gave
the
opportunity
gave
the
ability
to
the
developer
to
vary
the
plains
of
the
building
by
say,
I'm
just
shooting
from
the
hip
here.
But
if
they
step,
if
they
step
back
they're
building
below
that
required
height,
that
they
would
give
the
opportunity
to
project
the
building
out
upper
haight
and
and
therefore
give
some
ability
to
the
designer
to
have
say
at
all.
K
I
object
next
to
a
step
back
object
and
and
have
the
ability
to
really
play
with
the
facade.
Because
if
you,
if,
if,
if
a
developer,
has
a
series
of
parcels
strung
together
over
the
court
over
about
a
hundred
and
fifty
feet,
what
you're
going
to
get
is
a
hundred
and
fifty
foot
long,
brick
of
a
facade
and
also
I
would
encourage
some
language
that
gave
the
impression
and
enabled
the
designer
to
make
it
look
like.
There
are
separate
buildings
of
reasonable
size,
separate
parcels.
K
Let's
say
they
still
had
that
150
footlong
building,
but
they
were
encouraged
to
give
a
separate
identity
to
different
segments,
say
50-foot
segments
of
50-foot
segments,
50-foot
segmenting,
to
reduce
the
scale
to
a
more
human
scale
to
make
it
feel
like.
There
are
separate
parcels
that
may
be
connected
on
the
interior,
but
they
have
a
different
character
on
the
outside
and
thank
you
should.
A
Thank
you.
Let
me
just
say
that
the
it
should
be
noted.
I
want
to
emphasize
that
anything
that
happens
there
over
the
next
number
of
years
has
to
go
through
the
planning
process,
so
architectural
review,
citizen
participation.
So
it's
not
that
the
examples
they
they
put
on
the
screen
were
just
in
fact
examples
of
types
of
things
that
could
possibly
happen,
but
they
were
just
super
imposed
and
they're,
not
by
any
way
shape
or
form
done
already
or
decided
upon.
C
And
if
I
could
add
mr.
mayor
as
a
design
professional
in
this
community,
a
lot
has
changed
in
the
last
20
years
25
years
and
believe
me,
I'm
I'd
like
to
call
myself
a
good
designer,
but
I'm
constantly
challenged
even
today
and
we've
you
know
in
it.
So
it's
a
give
and
take,
and
it's
a
having
to
answer
to
to
a
client
to
say
no.
We
can't
do
that
anymore
and
just
because
it's
happening
down
the
street,
we
designs
have
changed
to
to
respect
even
more
adjacent
residences
and
immunity.
So
I
think
it's.
C
L
L
Though
the
planning
department
presentation
to
you
buried
on
page
audience,
172
are
a
few
things
that
were
said
in
the
planning
commission
meeting
and
in
particular
the
thing
that
concerns
me.
The
reason
I
came
tonight
was
at
the
meeting
when
it
was
voted
to
forward
the
resolution
to
you
with
a
recommendation.
L
Some
of
the
defects
in
the
format
were
a
small
type
size,
a
faint
color
of
type
size
photographs
that
had
no
relationship
to
the
adjacent
adjacent
text
and
and
similar
so
I'm.
Bringing
this
to
your
attention
and
asking
that
you
consider
it
in
your
approval
of
any
us
any
steps
to
go
forward,
that
the
format
of
this
document
well,
I
should
say
something
else.
I
said
it
other
other
commissioners
said
it:
this
is
a
good
document,
it's
important
as
necessary.
L
L
L
L
What
steps
the
city
will
undertake,
such
as
design
reviews,
as
mentioned
by
staff,
to
make
sure
that
the
residents
adjacent
to
as
a
good
example
san
bruno
avenue
from
101
up
to
El
Camino
what
the
city
will
do
to
make
sure
the
residents
are
totally
trampled
by
the
effects
of
increased
development.
Thank
you
very
much.
For
your
time.
All.
L
Rico
of
seventh
Avenue,
just
a
couple
quick
things:
I
served
on
the
transit
corridor
plan
committee
for
probably
three
or
four
of
the
of
the
years
as
David
as
Mark
and
Laura
have
told
you
tonight.
There
are
many
safeguards
in
there.
There
are
many
steps
that
need
to
be
taken
before
any
specific
piece
of
property
can
change
and
begin
to
comply
with
with
any
of
the
proposed
desires
or
suggestions
in
the
plan.
The
pictures,
the
architectural
renderings
or
whatever
are
just
examples
of
what
could
be
happen
at
a
particular
location.
L
M
Good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council
members,
my
name
is
Serena
I'm,
actually
not
a
resident
of
san
bruno,
but
I
work
at
a
local
nonprofit
organization
called
the
housing
Leadership
Council
of
San
Mateo
County
we've
been
here
several
times.
We've
been
following
this
plan
for
the
past
few
years
and
I'm
here
tonight
to
also
urge
you
to
approve
this
plan
and
dissolve
the
resolutions
that
are
necessary
to
accept
the
final,
a
ir
and
to
amend
the
general
plan.
M
M
I
grew
up
in
this
area
and,
to
be
honest,
I
grew
up
in
Pacifica
and
I
can't
wait
to
move
out
of
Pacifica
because
as
nothing
going
on
and
when
my
dad
said,
where
do
you
want
to
live,
said
well
right
now,
I'd
like
to
live
in
San
Mateo,
but
if
San
Bruno
can
get
this
plan
going.
That
I
happen
to
just
know
about.
Because
of
my
work.
M
That's
somewhere
where
I
would
like
to
live
where
there's
a
lot
of
people
and
about
somewhere
I
could
show
my
college
friends
who
visit
a
place
that
I
can
just
walk
out
and
go
to
and
have
fun
in
and
not
have
to
go
to
the
city
all
the
time,
so
I'm
excited
bout.
This
plan
personally,
and
also
as
an
organization
we've
been
here
I,
think
you've
already
heard
from
us
several
times
throughout
the
last
few
years.
We
really
appreciate
your
your
community
process
of
getting
everyone
involved.
M
A
F
Paula
Bradley,
I
live
on
Second
Avenue
I've
brought
up
this
issue
at
other
public
meetings,
but
I
wanted
to
ask
a
question
about
the
portion
of
san
bern
avenue
between
first
and
seventh
avenue.
It
says
mixed-use,
but
we're
in
the
high
decibel
no
additional
residential.
So
what
makes
juice
is
it
going
to
be
yeah
I,
don't
understand
why
we
need
five
stories.
If
it's
not
going
to
be
you
know,
businesses
with
residential
above
and
I,
don't
think
you
can
put
any
more
residences
there.
So
that's
my
question.
Okay,.
F
D
My
name
is
paul
ram.
My
property
owner
on
eastern
avenue
had
a
question
about
the
permanent
marking.
How
would
that
work
in
the
residential
streets-
and
my
other
question
was
about
how
the
city,
like
the
pictures,
the
renditions
look
beautiful,
but
without
eminent
domain?
How
can
the
city
help
property
owners
or
how
will
the
new
money
come
in
to
develop
some
of
these
projects?
All.
A
G
The
environmental
impact
report
analyzes
environmental
impacts,
the
closer
excuse
me
sorry,
the
environmental
impact
report,
analyzes
environmental
impacts,
so
it
did
take
a
look
at
how
you
know
new
buildings
and
the
development
proposed
in
the
transit
corridor.
Quarters
area
would
would
affect
properties,
physical
level,
but
it
didn't
didn't
look
at
the
financial
impacts,
and
so
no
there
were
no
there's,
not
an
analysis
of
find
out.
You
know
they
effect
on
the
economics
of
surrounding
properties.
Okay,.
B
I
could
just
add,
as
you
heard
in
the
staffs
presentation,
there
is
a
required
project
by
project
review
and
analysis
that
will
occur
with
any
implementation
of
the
plan
that
will
take
into
consideration
very
specifically
any
and
all
impacts
that
may
relate
to
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
It
is
not
typical
that
we
do
in
economic
evaluation
of
financial
impacts
to
the
property,
but
by
careful
evaluation
of
the
physical
impacts.
It
is
expected
that,
to
the
maximum
extent
possible,
those
are
taken
into
consideration
in
that
they
are
evaluated
as
part
of
what
creates
a
successful
project.
All.
A
G
She's
right
that
that
new
residential
is
not
allowed
in
that
area,
so
the
plan
proposes
mixed-use,
which
is
essentially
commercial
mixed-use,
which
would
allow
say
office
on
top
so
that
that
would
basically
be
the
the
option
would
be
retail
in
office,
and
that
would
be
the
type
of
mixed-use
and
obviously
that
would
be
more
significant
in
the
in
the
station
area.
Where
you
can,
you
know
you
have
a
larger
development
site
and
you
can
do
a
more
significant
project,
but
that's
that's.
G
A
D
H
So
the
details
would
have
to
be
developed
of
how
the
program
could
be
expanded,
but
there
is
an
existing
program
within
the
community
where
residents
are
given
permits
that
they
put
into
their
cars
and
there's
also
provisions
for
guests
for
people
who
are
visiting
people
who
live
in
the
area
and
then
those
permits
are
displayed
within
your
vehicle
and
then
that
gives
a
police
department
an
opportunity
to
do
enforcement
of
those
people
that
are
not
permitted
to
park
there.
Ok.
A
I
D
It's
it's
like
you
guys
to
think
about
the
financial
impact
of
december's
san
bruno
residents
and
then
I
can't
imagine
that
nobody
actually
knows
the
answer
to
that
question
after
four
years
about
property
value,
what
happens
to
all
the
people
in
san
bruno
that
has
have
homes
there
it
just
it
baffles
me.
Thank.
J
J
You
know
keeping
their
home
and
being
able
to
live
in
the
town
that
they
fell
in
love
with
15
years
ago,
like
myself,
all
my
children
were
born
in
my
home,
so
bringing
in
businesses
and
offices
and
all
this
into
the
street
of
san
bruno
avenue.
I
would
be
right
behind
that,
because
I'm
the
first
house
behind
all
this
construction,
that's
going
to
be
happening
and
I'm
I
know
that
there
are
several
other
homes.
J
All
through
the
side,
all
the
way
to
the
railroad
tracks
are
also
going
to
be
affected,
the
same
as
myself
here
but
I.
Just
don't
think
it's
the
right
thing,
like
the
other
cities
that
I've
heard
before
and
other
hearings
that
have
done
these
kind
of
remodeling
and
modernization.
It
has
been
in
commercial
areas,
I've
heard
like
millbrae,
Avenue,
third
Avenue,
all
those
are
far
from
residences,
they're
all
stores-
and
you
know
commercial,
but
being
that
there's
homes
so
close
to
where
you're
going
or
you
plan
to
do
all
these
constructions.
F
My
name
is
Sunil
and
I
live
in
euclid
avenue
and
migrants.
Question
is
that
I'm
very
much
excited
with
the
transit
corridor
plan
and
the
areas
other
than
the
tcp
will
the
zoning
change
and
if
the
zoning
changes
for
our
property,
what
impact
it
will
have
on
us
and
if
it
doesn't
suit
us,
then
how
much
time
frame
will
be
given
so
that
we
decide
what
we
have
to
do.
Thank
you.
F
F
I
mean:
are
these
like
private
condos
being
sold
rental
units
and
are
they
going
to
be
full
pay
rental
I
mean
or
is
the
government
you
know
because
they
don't
also
want
cuz?
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Sierra
scope
and
I.
Don't
want
federal
housing
projects
in
San
bernal
either.
So
that's
my
comment.
All.
A
The
comments
have
been
made
about
the
city,
bringing
things
in.
That's
not
what
we're
trying
to
do
we're
trying
to
make
things
as,
as
we've
tried
a
last
number
of
years,
but
the
economy
has
forced
us
in
another
direction,
we're
trying
to
make
it
attractive
for
people
to
come
here.
You
know
a
lot
of
people
said
to
us
in
some
of
the
area,
for
instance
over
by
the
crossing
there.
Why
can't
you
bring
in
sone?
A
So
why
can't
you
bring
its
own
so
well,
we've
had
a
number
of
opportunities
to
to
bring
in
a
typical
kind
of
restaurant,
let's
just
say
over
there,
but
we
as
San
Bruno
didn't
fit
into
the
cookie
cutter
mold
of
a
lot
of
them
financially.
It
wasn't
feasible
for
people
to
come
into
the
city
because
of
this
economy,
and
now
things
seem
to
be
turning
around
a
little
bit
and
we're
getting
a
lot
of
interest.
A
A
perfect
example
is
five
very
good
hotel
developers
that
want
to
develop
the
last
site
over
by
380
a
hotel
for
the
city,
which
we
really
don't
have
a
full-service
hotel,
and
so
it's
becoming
more
attractive
for
people
to
invest
in
our
town
and
I.
Think
that's
good,
but
you
know
that
the
one
thing
I
can't
emphasize
enough
is
that
we're
not
proposing
to
build
five
six
seven
stories
here
there.
A
We
have
no
plan
in
place
to
do
that,
but
if,
in
fact
it
can
be
compatible
with
the
area
after
this
train
station
is
done
and
it
works
with
your
input,
then
I
think
it's
a
good
thing.
But
the
key
is
your
input,
that's
what
it's
all
about!
That's
why
we
went
to
the
public
process
of
four
years
and
more
to
get
the
input
of
17
business
people
and
local
residents
and
had
numbers
of
public
hearings
of
all
of
this.
A
So
I
also
want
to
say
that
you
know
the
discussion
has
been
brought
up
about
eminent
domain
and
taking
our
properties
and
things
a
number
of
years
ago,
when
we
didn't
have
redevelopment-
and
we
were
really
hurting
because
was
available
to
us,
but
people
were
worried
about
us
taking
your
property.
We
finally
voted
in
redevelopment
and
part
of
that
was
with
myself
and
former
mayor
Simon.
Is
we
started
residential
conservation
areas
in
the
city
to
preclude
us
from
taking
anything
by
eminent
domain?
This
transit
quarters
plan
has
the
same
type
of
protection
there
too.
A
G
Would
be
no
no
changes
to
the
surrounding
area
in
the
zoning?
Okay
we'd
only
be
inside
the
inside
the
transient
quarters
area-
okay,
oh
yeah,
and
if
I,
if
I
may
just
go
back
to
an
earlier
question
that
Russell
Stein
I
think
and
about
the
he
was
concerned
about
the
the
economic
impact
on
his
home
in
homes
in
the
surrounding
area.
And,
although
you
know
we
haven't
done
a
specific
economic
impact,
analysis
on
on
properties.
G
Anecdotal
evidence
and
experience
in
other
communities
and
which
we've
reviewed
in
you,
know,
articles
and
so
forth
that
have
been
written
about
this
type
of
development
transit
corridors
plans
which
occurred
in
a
lot
of
places,
including
you
know
in
neighboring
cities
that
they
have
been
a
benefit
to
the
to
the
community,
not
just
to
the
not
just
for
the
project.
That's
built
there,
but
you
know
when
you
have
more
and
better
businesses,
you
have
better
access
to
to
transit.
A
F
A
For
everybody
going
forward,
you
can
see
what
they've
done
in
other
cities
and
perfect
example
is
a
decrepit
old,
ballpark
and
peers
down
in
San
Francisco,
and
you
go
down
there
now
and
its
vibrant
its
alive.
It's
young
and
it's
it's
an
entirely
different
city
and
a
lot
of
that
was
tied
together
by
Museum
of
Modern,
Art
and
a
new
stadium.
A
We
have
a
great
separation
here
and
we
have
a
potential
to
take
that
old
theater
down
and
do
something
decent
with
it
and
that'll
tie
that
whole
once
part
of
the
part
of
this
transit
quarters
playing
together
to
that
Street.
So
the
opportunities
are
great.
I
look
forward
to
to
working
with
all
of
you
on
this
going
forward
and
we
are
very,
very
sensitive
and
have
been
throughout
this
whole
process.
So
there's
no
more
discussion
last
for
a
motion
to.
C
I
C
Could
ask
a
question
first
and
my
termites
/
on
more
more
input
the
Planning
Commission?
If
you
could
elaborate
more
on
what
mr.
Peterson
said
as
far
as
the
Planning
Commission's
discussion
and
what
revisions
they
added
and
comments
they
added
to
to
their
approval
of
the
plan,
because
he
did
mention
this
I'm
curious
to
see
what
how
the
Planning
Commission
reacted
to
the
residence
protection
plan.
H
So
Commissioner
Peterson
described
his
vision
of
a
resident
protection
plan,
so
staff
went
back
and
pulled
out
elements
of
the
plan
that
addressed
that
concern.
How
would
we
address
existing
residents,
and
so
that's
included
in
your
packet
and
we've
retitled
it?
The
mixed
use
to
residential
transition
measures
and
staff
actually
proposes
that
that
be
integrated
into
the
plan.
So
we
propose
that
that
be
a
new
appendix
a
that
would
go
with
the
plan
permanently.
H
So
the
community
and
applicants
would
be
aware
that
this
is
a
concern
and
a
significant
thing
to
be
addressed
through
every
project,
and
so
that
handout
includes
things
like
the
public
review
process.
The
fact
that
every
project
would
have
a
public
meeting,
the
new
finding
of
fact
that
I
discussed
in
my
presentation
talking
about
analysis
of
the
transition
from
new
projects
to
residential
that
would
provide
an
opportunity
for
the
public
to
provide
feedback
on
that
as
well.
So
staff
would
do
the
initial
analysis.
H
The
planning,
Commissioner,
Architectural,
Review
Committee,
would
take
feedback
on
those
measures
and
projects
would
not
be
able
to
be
approved
unless
the
Planning,
Commission
or
architectural
review
committee
could
make
that
legal.
Finding
that
the
transition
had
been
considered
this
handout,
the
transition
measures,
also
discusses
building
design.
So
that's
the
development
standards
of
the
setbacks
and
the
step
backs.
H
We've
included
the
design
guidelines
that
are
specifically
related
to
the
transition
we've
discussed,
the
approved
land
uses,
so
some
of
the
changes
in
the
land
that
could
occur
that
could
be
considered
beneficial
to
residential
neighborhoods,
as
well
as
the
parking
and
transportation
the
things
that
could
be
considered
positives,
as
well
as
the
residential
permit
program
that
could
mitigate
any
concerns.
So
we
would
propose
that
that
be
included
in
the
plan
and
go
forward
as
a
clear
statement
that
the
residential
neighborhoods
are
to
be
respected
with
the
plan.
If.
C
I
could
follow
up
in
that
I.
Don't
want
to
give
the
public
any
false
sense
of
security
here,
because
again,
I'm
a
design,
professional
and
we
you
know
the
bottom
line-
is
to
maximize
the
investment
maximize
the
development
in
relation
to
the
cost
of
the
land,
and
you
know
score
footage
of
things
and
what?
If
a
developer
came
in
and
an
El
Camino
property
with
a
residential
zoning
adjacent
or
a
san
bruno
avenue
property
with
a
residential
neighborhood
adjacent
what
if
they
complied
with
the
setback?
C
It
could
still
be
very
overpowering
for
this,
for
the
for
the
residents
I
mean
because
they're
in
their
little
one
story,
you
know
in
many
cases
two
bedroom
one
bath
in
a
20-foot
tall.
You
know
house,
you
know,
and
you
know-
and
here
you
have
this-
this
development
right
next
to
it
so
I,
don't
I,
mean
I,
know
the
attributes,
and
you
know
the
great
things
that
you
know
that
this
can
do
for
a
community.
But
this
gentleman
that
you
know
all
these
people
are
in
fear
just
like
they
did
for
those
previous
10
years.
C
That
eminent
domain
was,
you
know,
was,
was
lurking,
they
were
in
fear
of
a
developer
and
getting
that
public
notice.
That
says
something
something's
going
to
happen
next
door
or
across
the
street,
something
in
and
then
all
of
a
sudden.
They
have
to,
you,
know
bound
together
and
you
know,
and
it's
almost
like
they
have
to
get
ready
to
fight
because
they
don't
feel
secure
with
you
know,
with
the
process
and
I
think
we
have
to
give
them
those
assurances.
You
know
and
I
think
this
is
you
know.
A
I
A
few
questions,
the
room
one
of
my
concerns
is
that
a
developer
will
come
in
and
buy
a
lot
or
buy
a
business
and
it
will
sit
empty
until
the
next
business.
You
know
the
next
slot
comes
along
and
then
the
next
slot,
and
pretty
soon
it's
five
years
or
ten
years
and
you've
got
three
empty
lots
or
an
empty
lot
in
a
business.
You
know,
and
we've
lived
through
empty
lots
with
nothing
on
them.
We
still
have.
We
have
businesses
that
have
been
fenced
off
and
sitting
there
for
15
years.
I
However
long
it
is
the
bank,
the
former
bank
site
on
san
bern,
avenue
and
huntington.
There
is
a
prime
example:
those
are
horrible
things
to
live
next
to
what
are
we
going
to
do
to
assure
people
that
something
will
be
done,
that
the
properties
will
be
kept
up
until
the
developer?
Actually
does
the
development
do
we
have
restrictions
on
what
can
be
done?
What
can't
be
done,
what
would
be
kept
up
all
those
kinds
of
things.
G
G
The
the
sort
of
the
profit
incentive
is
I
think
the
carrot
that
that
pushes
this
forward
and
hopefully
prevent
that
type
of
you
know,
delaying
you
buying
a
parcel
and
you're.
You
know
you're
waiting
for
that
next,
one
to
get
your
complete
development
site,
so
I
think
that's,
that's
one
thing
is
there's
an
economic
incentive
to
move
forward.
People
don't
generally
a
you
know.
A
savvy
developer
does
not
buy
a
property
and
sit
on,
and
all
that
would
you
know.
G
We've
we've
had
some
different
experiences
here,
but
the
other
thing
too,
I
think-
and
you
know
maybe
laura-
can
speak
more
to
this-
is
that
we
are
in
the
process
of
updating
our
zoning
code
and
I.
You
know
there
could
be.
That
could
be
something
that
we
could
look
into
in
terms
of
you
know
we
do.
We
do
have
in
our.
G
I
It
I
appreciate
the
difficulty
of
what
I'm
asking,
but
is
there
anything
that
we
can
do
in
this
plan
to
make
it
clear
to
developers
that
we
don't
want
an
empty
building?
We
don't
want
a
lot
that
sits
around
and
gets
trashed.
Can
we
I
have
no
idea,
but
we've
all
experienced
those
slots
on
sanrio,
Avenue
they've
been
empty
and
ugly
and
dirty
and
everything
undeserved,
desirable.
You
can
think
of
for
years
now
and
nothing
much
has
been
done
about
it.
I
G
G
A
I
You
talked
about
the
parking
requirement
changing
from
from
a
one-bedroom.
It
used
to
be
two
and
you're
proposing
that
it
be
one
parking
garage,
I
mean
parking
space
for
one
bedroom
and
I'm.
Sorry,
I,
don't
remember
what
we
did
or
if
we
changed
the
proposal
to
change
parking
requirements
for
businesses
and
offices.
Is
it
still
the
same
per
square
X
amount
of
parking
per
square
footage?
Are
we
changing
it,
or
should
we
look
at
changing
it,
closer
yard
transit?
Would
that
be
an
incentive?
H
The
transit
corridors
plan
does
outline
some
kind
of
broad
brush
statements
in
regards
to
parking
and
it
does
recommend
a
reduction
in
parking
and
pretty
much
all
land
uses.
So,
for
example,
retail
parking
in
downtown
right
now
is
four
spaces
per
1,000,
and
the
transit
corridor
plan
would
recommend
three
paste
spaces
per
1,000
office.
Space
immediately
adjacent
to
the
train
station
would
be
quite
a
bit
less
than
our
standard
code
requirement.
Today.
H
A
C
For
it
well,
it's
I,
don't
have
any
questions
or
anything
and
Emily
the
gentleman
you
know
mr.
Stein's
I
mean
I
feel
for
you,
because,
but
yes,
I've
made
up
my
mind
on
this
I've
made
up
my
mind
for
years
ago,
I
made
made
up
my
mind
17
years
ago,
when
I
was
elected
to
this,
to
sit
on
this
diet,
and
ironically,
I'm
sitting
with
two
of
my
colleagues
now
for
the
last
17
years,
and
I
think
we've
got
a
track
record
of
making
good
decisions
in
improving
this
community
yeah.
C
We
were
faced
with
wanting
to
make
changes,
but
we
didn't
have
any
tools
to
do
it
with.
We
didn't
have
redevelopment
and
if
we
don't,
if
we
never
got
redevelopment,
you
wouldn't
see
anything
along
el
camino
you'd
see
a
bunch
of
fake,
probably
right
now,
you'd
see
a
vacant
bunch
of
vacant,
auto
auto
dealerships,
and
you
would
probably
not
you
probably
see
a
ghost
town
where
tanforan
is.
If
we
didn't
have
redevelopment-
and
you
definitely
wouldn't
see
the
crossing,
we
are
geared
towards
satisfying
our
residents,
but
this
is,
it
has
to
be
a
new
attitude.
C
The
thing
is
that
we,
you
know
we
we're
living
in
a
bedroom
community
that
was
developed
50
years
ago,
50
60
years
ago.
That's
not
happening
anymore,
and
it's
not
going
to
go
away.
It's
just
that.
Now
we
need
to
run
a
run,
a
city
that
you
know,
that's
not
working.
You
know
in
the
commercial
areas
now
we've
we
came
onto
this
council
and
we're
faced
with
what
are
you
going
to
do
about
the
downtown?
What
are
you
going
to
do
about
El
Camino
every
time
a
business
closes,
and
what
are
we
going
to
do?
C
When
are
we
going
to
get
I
mean
I,
remember
17
years
ago?
Why
can't
you
get
Starbucks,
you
know,
and
the
answer
was
well.
Why
would
starbucks
want
to
come
here
so
we
faced?
You
know
we
faced
a
lot
of
challenges
17
years
ago
and
I
believe
now
we
have
six
starbucks.
We
have
a
beautiful
regional
shopping
center.
We
have
thousands
of
high-end
rental
units
at
the
crossings
we
have.
You
know
we
have
a
nice
restaurant
that
you
can't
get
into
now
and
we
need
to
look
forward.
C
I
mean
17
years
and
now
we
need
to
try
and
get
our
residents,
who
are
the
bread
and
butter
of
our
community
to
buy
into
this,
and
that's
why
I
say:
I'm
not
going
to
ignore
a
resident
whose
fears
that
he's
going
to
have
seven
staring
at
seven
stories.
You
know
in
a
couple
of
years
of
something
and
that's
why
I'm
concerned
that
we
do
implement
some
major.
You
know
guidelines.
C
You
know
in
that
zoning
code,
so
that
yeah
so
the
residents,
don't
you
know
they
can
be
confident
that
we're
going
to
protect
them
and
that
you
know
that
that
the
developers
know
that
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
you
know
get
something
in
edgewise.
So
that's
that's
something
that
residents
always
distrust.
C
Words
words
in
a
document,
but
again
everything
that
I've
been
involved
in
in
this
community
and
that
I
have
fought
for
whether
it's
you
know
whether
its
development
along
alchemy
know
whether
it's
a
railroad
track.
Great
separation
has
been
in
the
interest
of
improving
this
community
and
sensitive
to
everyone
around
it,
and
I
believe
it's
it's
been.
C
It's
worked
like
I
said,
come
a
long
way,
I
mean
there's.
People
like
you
know:
George
buscarlo
and
Aaron
agnon,
and
you
know
all
the
staff
that
have
worked
so
hard
and
we've
always
been.
We've
been
on
the
same
page
and
we've
had
meetings
with
many
residents
and
input,
and
you
know-
and
we
just
weren't
just
going
through
the
motions
to
you
know,
to
implement
something
we
were
truly.
C
You
know
going
through
it
with
the
interest
of
with
everyone's
interest
in
mind,
so
I
hope,
I,
hope
there
are
residents
that
you
know
are,
you
know,
can
learn
to
buy
into
this.
Even
if
it's
not
something
that
you
really
you
know
can
foresee
right
now,
because
we
want
you
to
be
proud
17
years
ago
there
was
not
a
lot
of
pride
in
this
community
as
far
as
the
commercial
aspect
of
it.
As
far
as
coming
into
San
Bruno,
we
were
all
just
in
our
own
homes
and
we
were
pride
of
ownership
in
our
homes.
C
But
you
know,
the
town
you
know
was,
you
know,
was
faced
with
a
lot
of
challenges,
so
this
plan
is,
is
the
rest
of
our
lives
and
I.
Believe
it's
going
to
be
the
right,
the
right
thing
to
do
in
the
long
term
and
even
in
the
short
term,
because
it
gives
us
the
tools,
because
everything
everything
that's
laid
out
right
now.
You
can
get
three
stories
right
across
the
street
from
you
in
a
big
block
building.
You
know
we
really
wouldn't
have
anything
we
could
do
about
it.
C
I
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
echo
what
you
said
Ken
and
it
has
been
a
long
haul,
and
we
can't
please
everyone,
but
we
really
truly
make
the
effort
to
make
the
city
as
a
whole
as
best
as
we
can
I
I
would
I
guess.
The
question
is:
if
we
approve
the
resolutions
that
we
have
in
front
of
us,
does
that
preclude
us
from
making
any
changes
in
any
substantive
way.
I
C
F
I
made
through
the
chair,
I
think
the
is
mr.
Sullivan
indicated,
probably
the
the
next
way
to
do.
That
would
be
through
amendments
to
the
zoning
code,
which
I
think
he
indicated
would
be
coming
back
to
you
for
review,
and
so
we
can
certainly
take
a
look
at
those
and
find
ways
to
strengthen
our
existing
ordinances
that
we
have
recognizing
that
we
can't
make
people
develop
their
property,
but
we
can
adopt
ordinances
that
requires
them
to
take
care
of
it,
and
we
have
ordinances
that
do
that
now,
but
will
certainly
look
at
strengthening
them.
Okay,.
A
J
F
A
C
A
C
I
think
I
could
speak
for
for
us
and
for
a
colleague
sitting
out
in
the
in
the
hall.
One
person
makes
a
big
difference
to
and
I'm
looking
right
at
you,
sir,
and
I'm
going
to
I
mean,
and
you
can
you
can
be.
You
know
you
can
be
on
me.
You
know
for
the
rest
of
this
year.
You
know
make
making
sure
that
you
know
that
I'm
looking
out
for
you
and
everyone
down
the
street
from
you
and
everyone,
that's
adjacent,
because
that
is
something
that
you
know.
