Description
San Bruno Planning Commission Meeting March 2, 2010
B
A
B
The
usual
that
you
could
go
to
Sam
the
people
at
home
if
they
happen
to
be
watching,
this
could
go
to
san
bruno
CA,
gov
and
in
the
community
development
section
you
could
not
only
find
you
could
find
the
staff
report
that
we
have
tonight
for
the
housing
element
as
well
as
the
agenda,
but
you
can
also
find
that
draft
housing
element
itself.
So
it's
a
it's
a
large
document.
A
Good,
thank
you.
Okay
and
next
time
we
public
comment
and
I
on
items
not
on
the
agenda
and
there,
unfortunately,
is
no
public
in
attendance
here
this
evening.
So
we
will
open
and
close
that
part
of
it
is
anybody
having
a
conflict
of
interest
in
regards
to
this
I
would
think
not
okay.
Thank
you
all
right.
So
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
going
to
be
the
only
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
the
housing
element.
A
We
are
to
consider
adoption
of
resolution
recommending
the
City
Council
approved
san
bruno
2009,
2014
housing
element
of
the
general
plan
dated
februari
2010,
an
adoption
of
a
resolution
recommending
that
the
City
Council
adopted
negative
declaration
for
the
San
Bruno
2009
2014
housing,
and
that
is
it.
Staff
report
mark
yeah.
C
Good
evening,
honorable
chair
planning,
commissioners,
as
you
mentioned,
we're
here
tonight,
to
review
the
the
housing
element,
update
and
I'm,
going
to
go
through
briefly
go
through
the
process
that
we've
been
through
over
the
the
last
year,
almost
year
and
a
half
in
preparing
the
housing
element
and
getting
it
through
the
the
State
Housing
and
Community
Development
Department
for
review
and
and
various
revisions
that
we
made
in
response
to
their
comments,
staff
and
diet.
Bhatia
who's.
C
The
city's
consultant
have
been
working
on
this
housing
element
as
I
mentioned
for
for
the
past
year
or
so,
and
as
you
know,
the
housing
element
is
one
of
seven
required
elements
of
the
general
plan
and
it
must
be
updated
and
certified
by
the
State
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development.
Once
every
five
years,
Sam
Bruno's
last
housing
element
was
adopted
in
2003
and
the
state
granted
an
extension
for
the
for
this
housing
element.
C
So
all
all
cities
in
the
in
the
Bay
Area
are
on
the
same
cycle,
they're
all
in
the
scent
doing
the
same
process
as
we
are.
The
city
has
prepared
a
negative
declaration
for
the
environmental
review
of
the
housing
element
update,
since
the
housing
element
is
consistent
with
the
recently
adopted
general
plan
update
and
its
environmental
impact
report,
no
significant
impacts
associated
with
this
update
were
identified.
C
Therefore,
staff
concluded
that
an
initial
study
of
negative
declaration
would
be
the
appropriate
level
of
environmental
review,
and
this
is
fair.
This
is
typical
of
housing
and
updates.
The
negative
declaration
was
circulated
for
a
30-day
public
comment
period
that
ended
on
February
21st
2010.
There
were
no
public
comments
and
there
were
two
and
two
agencies
provided
comments.
One
was
from
ck
acting
as
the
airport
land-use
commission,
which
determined
that
the
housing
element
like
the
general
plan
is
in
compliance
with
the
the
san
mateo
county,
comprehensive
airport
land
use
plan
for
the
san
francisco
airport
area.
C
The
dress,
the
draft
housing
element
was
submitted
to
HC
d,
which
I'll
use
that
for
housing
and
community,
the
State
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development
for
required
review.
Last
September
and
HCD
provided
their
comments
in
a
letter
in
November
staff
addressed
all
of
hdd's
comments
and
after
receiving
input
from
the
city
council
submitted
a
second
draft
housing
element
to
HC
d
in
January
hdd's
November
comment
letter
requested
a
number
of
revisions
in
order
for
the
housing
element
to
comply
with
state
law.
C
Most
of
the
most
of
the
comments
were
in
two
areas:
one
related
to
the
analysis
of
sites
suitable
for
residential
development
and
the
second
related
to
planning
for
homeless
shelters
on
the
first
matter.
Regarding
the
analysis
of
residential
sites,
the
housing
element
must
include
an
inventory
of
residential
sites
to
determine
if
there
are
adequate
sites
to
meet
the
city
share
of
regional
housing
needs.
The
inventory
must
identify
in
great
detail
enough
residentially
zoned
land
at
appropriate
densities
to
accommodate
the
housing
need
at
various
income
levels.
C
Hcd
was
concerned
that
the
city
would
need
to
rezone
sites
in
order
to
meet
its
regional
fair
share.
However,
staff
was
able
to
show
that
there
is
sufficient
land
currently
zoned,
residential
or
downtown
mix
used
to
meet
its
the
city's
regional,
fair
share.
The
revisions
to
textin
tables
in
chapter
4
clarify
the
city's
progress
and
plan
to
meet
its
fair
share
of
regional
housing
needs.
C
The
other
issue
that
HCD
was
concerned
about
regards
homeless,
shelters
and
one
of
the
most
significant
issues
that
the
housing
element
addresses
is
compliant
compliance
with
SB
to
the
recent
state
law
which
require
cities
to
establish
a
zoning
district
where
homeless,
shelters
are
allowed
by
right.
Without
requirement
for
a
conditional
use,
permit,
San
Bruno
has
an
identified
need
for
32,
homeless,
shelter,
beds.
C
Programs
6d
in
the
housing
element
element
identified,
the
general
plan,
transit
oriented
development
area
as
the
appropriate
zone
within
which
to
locate
homeless
shelters
because
of
its
access
to
public
transportation
and
services.
However,
hcd
was
concerned
that
the
10
bed
or
less
limit
on
the
size
of
an
individual's
facility,
which
was
included
in
that
that
housing
element
program,
would
be
a
constraint
on
the
development
of
homeless,
shelters
staff
consulted
with
the
homeless
shelter
providers.
C
Indeed,
10
a
10
shelter,
a
10-bed
homeless
shelter
would
be
almost
impossible
to
build
because
it
would
just
simply
wouldn't
be
financially
feasible
and
it
wouldn't
be
economical
to
run.
The
program
was
was
revised
to
remove
the
10
bed
limit
with
the
support
of
the
City
Council.
The
element
also
states
that
the
city
will
consult
with
homeless
service
providers
to
develop
appropriate
and
reasonable
standards
for
homeless
shelters
as
part
of
the
zoning
code
update,
so
that
process
will
will
occur
during
the
zoning
code
update,
and
you
will
also
be
involved
in
that.
C
Finally,
in
a
phone
conversation
in
January,
HDD
requested
the
city
to
add
information
in
program
to
be
which
addresses
the
city's
efforts
to
prepare
the
transit
corridors
plan.
Hcd
riemeck
amended,
describing
the
process
to
change
ordinance
12
it
1284
to
increase
building
height
limits.
Hd
HD
d
felt
this
was
necessary
because
redevelopment
of
the
transit
corridors
into
mixed
use
areas
with
residential
uses
consistent
with
the
recently
adopted
san
bruno
general
plan,
is
a
major
initiative
in
the
current
housing
element.
C
C
A
B
Through
the
check,
a
couple
points
I'd
like
to
make
is:
first,
you
know
dealing
dealing
with
the
state.
You
know
sometimes
the
tedious
issue.
As
you
know,
the
state
really
does
have.
They
have
goals
for
all
cities
to
meet
their
housing
inventory,
to
make
sure
that
they
meet
their
housing
goals
for
overall
state
from
a
regional
basis
and
by
a
city
by
city
basis,
actually
they're
pretty
this
time
around.
It
was
a
pretty
easy
process
where
they
we
went
back
and
forth,
but
mark
did
do
a
really
good
job
with
them.
B
Responding
to
their
comments
and
what
was
interesting
talking
to
them
is
know
how
much
they
focused
on
ordinance
1284
that
we
have
that
limits
the
heights
of
building,
and
they
basically
see
that
is
right.
Now
is
our
biggest
impediment
to
actually
producing
housing
within
within
San
Bruno
with,
and
actually
you
know,
having
new
development
within
San
burn
or
whether
it
be
mixed
use
in
our
transit
corridors.
B
So
I
think
that
shows
that
we
are
on
the
right
track
right
now
by
doing
the
transit
corridor
plan
and
setting
up
something
that
eventually,
you
know
that
where
we
might
be
able
to
exceed
that
three-story
height
limit,
if
the
plan
is
approved,
if
the
voters
decide
that's
something
that
we
want
to
do,
but
I
think
the
state
is
in
line
with
us
right
now
saying
hey.
That
is
something
that
you
have
to
at
least
look
at,
because
that
is
the
your
biggest
impediment
right
now
to
producing
housing.
A
D
Know
that
it's
totally
related
to
this
mark,
but
I
recently
had
the
opportunity
of
having
some
discussion
around
homeless
people
and
I
learned
some
new
things
and
I.
Don't
know
if
you
have
the
input
to
this
or
on
the
impact
to
the
element.
But
my
understanding
is
that
there
are
a
variety
of
different
reasons
why
people
are
homeless
and
but
one
that's
really
becoming
quite
prevalent.
C
D
Was
interesting
to
me
is
to
hear
the
feedback
as
to
some
of
the
those
that
have
been
released,
that
they
have
certain
places.
They
can
sleep
only
and
its
debt,
their
designated
places,
and
it
has
become
a
big
issue
because
they're
not
able
to
go
in
certain
areas.
They
have
to
move
around
every
two
hours.
They
have
to
have
docking
stations
where
to
dock
in
for
their
GPS
component,
and
you
know
there
is
the
whole
other
issue
about
how
do
they
make
it
life,
but
really
the
piece
that
I'm
speaking
to
is
have?
D
C
C
D
C
D
Survive
and
then
how
do
we
keep
people
safe
from
those
that
have
it's
like
it's
almost
as
if
it's
a
no-win
situation,
and
so
it
gave
thought
to
our
communities
that
people
who
are
on
bikes,
people
who
have
backpacks
I
mean
they're
on
the
road,
and
so
part
of
that
is.
It
was
interesting
to
me.
How
was
that
hazard
been
in
the
impact
to
San
Bruno?
D
It's
not
friendly
to
those
that
are
trying
to
rehabilitate
you
know
it's
just
a
really.
It
really
provoked
a
lot
of
thinking
on
my
end
and
trying
to
think
about
this
from
a
point
of
community
and
having
environments
that
not
having
a
mindset
of
well
have
done
their
crime
do
their
time.
This
is
it's
too
bad,
but
the
reality
is
they
do
get
released
and
whose
job
is
it
and
I?
From
my
perspective
perspective,
it's
all
of
our
jobs
to
think
well
about
our
communities,
and
so
I
just
raised
a
tremendous
amount
of
questions.
D
In
my
mind
about
wow.
This
is
a
whole
nother
unspoken
piece
of
of
situations
that
are
ongoing,
they're,
not
visible,
they're,
practically
invisible,
they're,
not
transparent
at
all,
and
so
I've
worked
late.
These
lost
a
few
weeks
quite
late
in
my
office
and
then
leaving
1132
to
thirty
in
the
morning,
I'm
actually
seeing
a
level
of
activity,
and
it's
not
necessarily
what
looks
like
drug
scenes
or
substance.
I
should
say
of
any
sort.
It
really
looks
like
people
are
trying
to
figure
out
what
to
do.
D
I
say
them:
you
know
as
I
bus
stops
and
families
children
I
mean
it
was
really
now
that
my
eyes
are
open
to
it.
It
allows
me
to
sort
of
look
at
it
from
a
different
perspective
and
wonder
as
I'm
driving
in
our
own
community.
Is
that
part
of
something
it's
taking
place
that
we
don't
know
about,
and
maybe
the
police
department
might
know
some
components,
I
don't
know,
but
I
couldn't
help,
but
think
about
that
is
we're.
D
Looking
at
the
housing
element
in
as
I
was
looking
this
back
in
my
office,
I
mean
it
didn't
read
every
single
word
detail
for
detail,
obviously,
but
it
certainly
raised
for
me
that
level
of
thinking
about
our
communities
and
and
I
would
like
to
save
the
world.
But
the
reality
is,
you
know
we
have
to
start
one
person
at
a
time,
and
so
anyway,
that
was
my
my
interest
in
sort
of
getting
your
feedback
or
your
input
had
you
had
any
experience
or
any
in
put
or
any
awareness
of
these
situations,
yeah.
B
I
mean
I
think
mark
mark
answered
part
of
it,
I
think
what
we
do
have
to
do
and
what
we
say
we're
going
to
do,
and
what
we
will
do
is
part
of
this
is
that
we
actually
are
going
to
meet
with
homeless
advocates
and
people
actually
provide
homeless,
shelter,
homeless,
shelters
so
that
we
could
see.
You
know
how
can
we
best
set
ourselves
up
so
that
it
will
be
successful
within
our
zoning
code
amendments.
B
So
as
we're
doing
this
comprehensive
zoning
code,
that's
how
we're
actually
going
to
implement
the
housing
element
policy,
so
you
will
get
a
chance
to
see
it
at
that
point
and
things
like
radius.
Is
things
like
exactly
where
they're
going
to
be
sited
will
come
up
during
during
that
point?
But
in
the
meantime,
what
we're
going
to
do
is
staff
is
actually
taught
to
talk
to
people
who
produce
homeless
housing
to
get
best
possible
input
to
give
to
you,
okay,.
D
You,
you
think
of
homeless,
not
having
a
place,
but
it's
actually
driven
by
other
things
that
are
beyond
their
control
and
those
are
trying
to
figure
out
to
be
successful,
have
limitations,
and
so
I'm
interested
just
to
see
just
take
your
two
to
be
more
informed
and
educated
around
that
just
because
of
my
involvement
in
the
community
and
family.
It's
really
important
to
me
so
I'd
appreciate
being
informed
as
those
come
on.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
D
Through
the
chair,
oh,
it
is
I
move
that
the
Planning
Commission
adopt
a
recommendation
to
move
closer
to
the
city
council,
the
approval
of
the
San
Bruno
2009
or
should
say
2009
and
2014
housing
element
of
a
general
plan
dated
februari
2010
and
a
job
resolution
recommending
that
a
city
council
adopted
negative
declaration.
The
San
Bruno
2009,
2014
housing
element.
B
A
C
B
A
B
Have
staff
some
staff
a
good
news?
We
received
an
application
for
treetops
the
official
application.
This
one
they're,
basically
proposing
two
things
at
this
they're,
proposing
a
to
keep
their
larger
project
alive.
The
510
unit
project
to
be
a
lot
to
continue
on.
They
wanted
an
additional
12
month
extension,
but
the
primary
portion
of
their
application
now
is
to
remodel
the
existing
308
units
and
it
looks
like
they
do
have
their
financing
together
to
remodel
the
existing
308
units
and
what
they'll
do?
B
What
they're
proposing
to
do
is
keep
the
two
projects
alive
on
a
similar
track
and
once
they
pull
a
building
permit
for
one
of
the
two.
The
other
project
would
no
longer
be
valid,
but
they're
on
a
pretty
fast
track
right
now,
because
of
the
where
the
financing
will
be
working.
So
we
need
to
have
a
second
architectural
review
meeting
in
in
in
March,
which
is
March
25th,
so
I
need
three
volunteers
for
the
treetops
architectural
review
meeting.
Mr.
A
B
E
When,
as
this
matter
goes
through
the
Commission,
possibly
the
council
and
the
staff
I
caution
you
to
keep
a
very
sharp
eye
on
that
quality
of
the
development,
because
that
area
is
subject
to
salty
air
and
it's
sat
unprotected
in
many
respects
for
quite
a
while
I'm
just
concerned
as
to
how
possible
it
is
to
remodel
that.
At
this
point,
yeah.
B
I
would
say:
remodel
is
a
it.
You
know,
I
mean
it's
practically
going
to
be
a
new
building.
What
our
building
official
has
met
up
there,
as
well
as
our
structural
engineers,
have
met
up
on
their
on-site
quite
a
few
times
with
them
to
go
over
what
they
would
be
intending
to
do.
They
basically
take
out
almost
everything
the
all
exterior
material
materials
would
be
removed.
B
All
the
drywall
would
be
removed
inside
so
they'd
strip
it
down
to
the
studs
and
then
rebuild
from
there,
and
if
us,
as
a
building
department,
we're
out
there,
there
have
they're
having
to
meet
current
building
codes
so
they're
having
to
upgrade
some
things
that
are
out
there.
If
we
see
a
post,
that's
been
degraded
because
of
whether
they're
going
to
have
to
replace
it.
So
we're
going
to
have
you're
exactly
correct.
