Description
San Bruno Planning Commission Meeting
January 6, 2015
trt 0:32:14
A
A
B
A
Item
number
three
is
probably
comment
on
items
not
on
the
agenda.
So
if
there's
an
item
that
you
would
like
to
address
the
Commission
on
that
is
not
on
the
agenda.
This
is
your
time.
Seeing
none
we'll
move
on
to
item
number
4
announcement
of
conflict
of
interest.
Many
commissioners
have
a
conflict.
Okay
item
number
5a,
crestmore
neighborhood.
A
D
Thank
you,
chair
Peterson,
the
members
of
the
Planning
Commission
I'll,
be
delivering
the
initial
report
this
evening
on
the
city
attorney
David
wall
Turing
may
have
some
additional
comments
after
I've
completed
my
short
presentation.
So
let
me
start
by
saying
I'm
going
to
divide
my
comments
tonight
into
three
topic
areas.
The
first
area
is
what
is
a
development
agreement,
and
why
are
you
here
tonight?
What
are
you
doing
with
the
development
agreement?
D
The
second
topic
area
is:
what
are
the
provisions
of
this
agreement
actually
is
applied
to
Castle
and
companies,
and
then
the
third
topic
area
is
what
are
the
next
steps
so
I'll
go
through
all
of
those
three
topic
areas,
and
then
David
may
have
some
additional
comments
before
I
start,
though
I
wanted
to
indicate
what
we're
not
here
to
do
tonight.
We
are
not
here.
The
Planning
Commission
is
not
reviewing
plans
or
architectural
elevations
or
details
for
the
houses
that
castle
is
going
to
build.
D
So
you
might
be
asking
yourselves
when,
when
are
we
going
to
do
that?
When
is
the
public
going
to
be
able
to
comment
on
that,
and
the
answer
is
on
the
twenty-second
of
this
month,
which
excuse
me
twenty
first
of
this
month
there
will
be
a
community
meeting
in
the
neighborhood.
Is
that
is
that
right,
correct,
okay,
great,
a
neighborhood
meeting
in
which
the
developer
will
be
present
along
with
staff
and
will
present
those
architectural
features
to
the
community?
D
Those
plans
after
receiving
public
comment
at
that
meeting
on
the
21st,
will
come
to
a
second
public
meeting
or
to
a
second
meeting
at
the
Architectural
Review
Commission,
and
then
we'll
be
coming
to
a
public
meeting
at
the
Planning
Commission.
So
there
will
be
all
of
those
opportunities
for
all
of
you,
members
of
the
public
who
are
here
tonight
and
anybody
else
in
the
community
who
wishes
to
discuss
those
plans
to
do
it
at
that
time.
D
This
meeting
tonight
is
to
do
something
rather
more
technical
and
legalistic,
which
is
why
I'm
here
doing
it,
and
mostly
instead
of
David,
and
that
is
recommending
the
adoption
of
an
ordinance
to
the
City
Council
to
approve
a
development
agreement.
So,
what's
a
development
agreement,
a
development
agreement
is
a
document
between
the
city
and
a
developer.
That
does
two
things
for
the
developer:
it
freezes
the
city's
rules
and
regulations.
So
the
city
can't
change
the
rules
after
the
developer
is
started
the
process.
D
So
in
other
words,
if
City
rules
say
you
can
build
a
2500
square-foot
house,
the
development
agreement
prevents
the
city
from
saying
sorry,
we've
changed
our
minds
now
you
can
only
build
a
thousand
square
foot
house,
so
it
freezes
those
development
standards
for
the
developer.
At
the
same
time,
what
the
city
gets
out
of
a
development
agreement
is
certainty,
that
the
project
is
going
to
be
completed,
the
way
the
city
envisioned
and
we're
to
the
city
and
vision,
or
how
did
it
envisioned
the
project
to
be
completed?
D
And
the
answer
to
that
is
it
sent
out
a
request
for
proposals
to
basically
the
entire
development
community
and
the
City
Council
selected
castle
as
the
preferred
developer
for
this
project,
because
the
City
Council
believed
castle
could
execute
and
build
all
10
homes
at
approximately
the
same
time,
while
also
following
all
of
the
city
rules
that
were
set
out
in
the
development
agreement.
So
that's
what
a
development
agreement
is
and
that's
what
this
does
and
so
we're
going
to
talk
about
that
in
a
little
more
detail.
But
why
are
you
here
reviewing
it
tonight?
D
It's
the
first
meeting
of
the
month.
You
usually
don't
mean
on
that
time.
It's
an
unusual
time
to
get
together.
Why
is
that?
And
the
answer
is
because
some
months
ago,
the
city
and
PG&E
and
then
separately,
the
city-
excuse
me
a
PG&E
and
castle
companies
entered
into
agreements
to
forecastle
to
purchase
those
ten
lots.
So
the
city
has
three
of
them
that
it's
going
to
sell
to
castle.
D
Pg&Amp;E
has
seven
of
them
that
it's
going
to
sell
to
castle
and
that
purchase
and
sale
agreement
or
those
two
agreements
were
signed
and
escrow
has
been
opened
and
castle
has
made
an
initial
deposit
into
that
escrow.
That
agreement
says
that
escrow
on
the
sale
of
those
Lots
needs
to
close
by
the
middle
of
April,
and
in
order
for
that
to
happen,
the
City
Council
has
to
approve
this
development
agreement
via
ordinance
by
the
end
of
this
month.
D
Well,
there
are
two
city
council
meetings
this
month,
one
of
them's
next
week
in
one
of
them's
two
weeks
later
and
two
meetings
are
needed
for
the
first
and
second
reading
of
an
ordinance.
So
that's
why
you're
here
tonight,
at
the
very
first
meeting
of
the
month,
looking
at
this
development
agreement
to
recommend
to
the
City
Council
that
it
be
adopted
via
ordinance.
So
the
council
will
take
your
comments
and
your
recommendations
at
the
next
meeting
at
their
next
meeting
next
week
will
will
presumably
introduce
an
ordinance
for
this
development
agreement.
D
There'll
be
a
public
hearing,
so
everybody
can
show
up
again
and
make
their
comments
and
then,
at
the
second
meeting
in
January,
the
City
Council
will
consider
adoption
of
that
ordinance
and
then,
once
that's
in
effect
and
other
terms
and
conditions
of
the
purchase
and
sale
agreements
are
are
solidified,
then
Castle
can
close
escrow.
So
that's
the
reason
why
your
you're
here
tonight
so
moving
to
the
second
topic.
D
What
what
is
this
development
agreement
actually
do,
and
the
first
thing
that
it
does
is:
it
requires
the
developer
to
follow
all
of
the
city's
existing
rules
and
regulations
about
architectural
features
and
especially
the
size
of
each
of
the
houses
that
may
be
constructed
on
the
Lots.
The
request
for
proposal
that
was
sent
out
to
all
developers
said
for
all
of
these
Lots
123
through
through
10
or
either
there
are.
You
can
only
build
up
to
a
X
square
foot
house
and
that's
where
footage
was
determined
strictly
by
the
city's
current
zoning
code.
D
The
development
agreement
also
says
that
the
developer
may
not
request
a
use,
permit,
variance
or
exception
to
increase
those
house
sizes.
You
see
a
lot
of
those
applications
and
you
saw
some
of
them
during
the
rebuilding
in
the
glenview
area,
but
the
city
was
very
concerned
when
it
issued
its
RFP
that
these
infill
Lots
be
developed
consistently
with
the
patterns
that
are
already
there
in
the
neighborhood
and
those
development
patterns
are
expressed
in
the
city's
code.
D
So
that's
the
reason
why
it's
in
the
development
agreement
that
the
developer
has
to
comply
with
those
with
those
rules
and
regulations.
The
second
thing
the
development
agreement
does
is.
It
sets
some
dates
that
both
the
developer
and
the
city
have
to
follow.
So
the
developer
has
already
worked
with
staff
to
submit
plans
and
city
is
required
to
review
and
approve
those
plans
on
a
certain
time
table,
the
ultimate
goal
of
which
is
that
the
developer
would
complete
construction
of
all
of
the
homes
within
about
six
months
of
the
issuance
of
building
permits.
D
There
is
one
home
that
that's
an
exception
because
of
topographical
conditions,
and
it's
it's
spelled
out
in
the
in
the
report
that
may
take
a
little
longer,
but
all
of
the
other
homes
must
be
completed
within
about
a
hundred
and
eighty
days
of
issuance
of
building
permits
and
it's
anticipated
in
the
development
agreement.
Those
building
permits
will
be
issued
on
a
strict
timetable
after
the
staff
review
of
the
plans,
the
public's
review
of
the
plans,
the
architectural
committee's
review
of
the
plans
and
the
Planning
Commission's
review.
D
So
after
all
those
things
happen
it
is
approved,
building
permits
can
then
be
be
issued.
So
that's
the
second
thing
the
development
agreement
does
size
of
the
houses
dates.
The
third
thing
it
does
is:
it
sets
the
fees
that
the
developer
is
required
to
pay
to
the
city
at
the
same
level
at
extent
as
the
fees
that
every
other
developer
would
otherwise
have
to
pay.
So,
in
other
words,
there
are
no
breaks
or
concessions
about
any
of
the
development
fees
that
would
be
0
to
the
city.
D
So
those
are
the
basic
provisions
of
the
development
agreement
there.
As
you
can
see,
there
are
a
bunch
of
other
legal
terms
in
it,
but
basically
it
says
as
long
as
the
developer
does
those
things
the
city
can't
change
the
rules
in
the
middle
of
the
game,
so
we
can't
come
along
after
they've
closed
escrow
on
their
properties
and
decide
that
the
building
envelope
is
different
or
that
the
square
footage
is
going
to
be
different
or
that,
instead
of
you,
know
this
style,
we
want
that
style.
D
D
D
Architectural
Review
Commission
will
review
them
after
the
community
meeting
planning
commission
will
review
them
and
then
by
then
the
developer
should
be
able
to
close.
Escrow
should
be
able
to
meet
their
deadline
of
closing
escrow
by
the
middle
of
April,
and
it's
our
understanding
that
the
developer
is
very
motivated.
D
This
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
city
selected
them
to
start
work
on
most
or
all
of
the
houses
right
away
after
issuance
of
building
permits,
in
fact
it
it
says
within
30
days
and
I
apologize,
I
David
pointed
out
a
typo
there's
one
place
that
says
60,
but
it's
actually
30
days
from
issuance
of
building
permits
to
start
on
those
homes
and
get
them
completed
as
soon
as
possible.
So
David
may
have
some
additional
comments.
But
that
concludes
my
comments
at
the
moment.
B
My
additional
comments
are
really
to
reinforce.
Parmi,
reinforce
the
comments
that
our
city
attorney
mate
and
that
is
that
there
will
be
subsequent
hearings
and
meetings
to
review
the
proposed
architectural
plans
for
the
project.
The
staff
has
been
working
with
Castle
companies
for
some
time
now.
Reviewing
preliminary
plans,
we
spend
time
even
earlier
this
week
yesterday,
reviewing
these
plans,
we
expect
to
move
forward
and
we'll
send
out
public
notices
for
the
neighborhood
meeting
coming
up
on
january
21st.
B
We're
then
expecting
to
have
an
architectural
review
committee
meeting
in
February
the
tentative
date
for
that
as
februari
12
and
then
on
to
Planning
Commission.
The
tentative
date
for
that
meeting
is
in
March
and
that
would
be
march
27th.
We
would
hope
to
be
issuing
building
permits
if
everything
is
found
acceptable
going
through
that
review
process,
we
would
hope
to
issue
building
permits
sometime
in
May
and,
as
our
city
attorney
has
indicated,
we'd
be
looking
at
about
a
six
month,
construction
period
with
the
intent
again.
B
If,
if
the
plans
are
reviewed
and
found
acceptable,
the
construction
period
would
be
about
six
months
for
at
least
nine
of
the
homes,
which
means
that
the
homes
would
be
completed
by
the
end
of
november
of
this
year.
So
the
intent
really
would
be
that
the
plans
would
be
reviewed
permits,
issued
construction
commenced
and
construction
complete
if
everything's
found
acceptable
by
the
end
of
this
year.
So
that
concludes
my
comments.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
E
6
5,
I
think,
is
yeah
6.5
the
development
timing.
The
first
paragraph
says
that
the
developers
shall
simultaneously
begin
at
diligently
thereafter
pursuit
a
complete
construction
of
all
ten
homes
within
60
days
of
issuance
of
building
permits
by
the
city,
which
is
then
followed
by
item
F
under
that
saying
that
they
should
be
completed
within
180
days,
I'm,
assuming
that
that
60-day
one
it's
a
typo
correct.
A
B
Know
we've
been
talking
to
the
developers
representative
about
that.
It's
a
lot
10
it's
a
steep
lot
and
is
going
to
require
a
different
design,
a
more
intricate
or
complex
design
and,
in
turn,
will
take
more
time
to
actually
construct
that
home
in
talking
to
the
applicant,
though
their
intent
would
be
to
try
to
design
and
build
at
home
within
the
the
overall
six-month
hundred
and
eighty
day
timeframe.
B
They're
asking,
though,
for
an
additional
90
days,
just
in
case,
given
the
topography
they're
going
to
have
to
cut
into
that
slope
a
little
bit
and
create
a
terrorist
to
put
that
home.
In
again,
it's
lot
n,
it's
fairly
steep,
so
they're
asking
for
a
little
bit
of
margin
on
that,
but
the
intent
would
be
to
try
to
complete
that
home
with
the
other
homes
within
the
180
day
period.
Thank
you.
You're
welcome,.
G
A
G
A
G
D
B
Know
to
be
clear,
the
intent
is
that
within
30
days
of
issuance
of
a
building
permit,
the
developer
will
commence
construction
and
within
180
days
of
issuance
of
the
building
permit.
The
intent
is
that
the
homes
would
be
completed,
with
the
exception
of
the
home
on
lot
10,
where
there's
a
bit
of
margin.
D
A
Okay,
oftentimes
they're
oftentimes.
The
reason
I
ask
that
question
is
oftentimes
the
applicant
for
a
permit
or
an
agreement
as
a
presentation
to
give
during
the
public
hearing
or
prior
to
the
public
hearing.
So
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
open
the
public
hearing,
anybody
who
has
a
comment
please
step
to
the
podium,
give
your
street
name
and
you
have
up
to
three
minutes.
A
We're
able
to
take
public
input
at
this
time,
but
it's
not
part
of
our
role
to
answer
those
questions.
I'm
going
to
ask
staff
to
make
some
notes
of
the
questions
that
come
up
during
the
public
hearing
and
ask
them
to
give
some
responses
to
those
at
the
end.
If
that
would
be
okay.
Thank
you
very
much,
sir
I
next
person,
please.
Oh.
C
A
C
D
I'll,
just
I'll
just
answer
that
by
saying
I,
don't
know
where
you
got
the
impression
that
they
were
supposed
to
start
a
year
ago.
They
were
supposed
to
start
once
both
the
city
and
PG&E
finalized
a
purchase
and
sale
agreement
with
them
for
the
purchase
of
the
Lots.
The
city
was
ready
to
do
that
a
while
ago.
Pg&Amp;E
was
not
ready
to
do
that
when
the
city
was
ready,
and
so
there
was
a
delay
as
a
result
of
that.
B
A
C
D
I'd
be
happy
to
address
that
there
were
indeed
the
City
Council
at
public
hearings,
public
meetings
engaged
in
a
thorough
and
comprehensive
selection
process.
A
great
deal
of
time
and
effort
was
spent
on
that
the
city
did
not
accept
the
company
that
offered
the
highest
price
for
the
Lots.
Nor
did
it
except
the
company
that
offered
the
lowest
price
for
the
Lots.
It
agreed
ultimately
on
the
developer
that
they
thought
was
the
most
responsible
and
could
complete
the
project
in
a
timely
manner.
Once
building
permits
were
issued
and
had
the
financial
capability
of
doing
that.

I'd
be
happy
to
take
answer
the
first
one
sorry
chair
peterson,
I
know
you
said-
were
we're
not
necessarily
answering
questions
right
now,
but
we
may
as
well
do
the
ones
that
we
can.
The
first
question
by
the
way,
we'll
ask
Harry
Burroughs
to
come
up
on
the
very
first
speaker,
but
in
response
to
your
question,
the
city's
purchase
and
sale
agreement
with
Castle
companies
is
a
matter
of
public
record
and
the
sale
price
is
four
hundred
fifteen
thousand
dollars
for
for
each
of
the
city.

An
excellent
question
I
can
answer
that
as
well,
so
residential
developments
and
replacement
of
existing
residential
homes
are
what's
called
categorically
exempt
from
sequa,
which
is
the
law
that
you're
referring
to.
So
that
means
when
somebody's
house
burns
down,
and
you
want
to
rebuild
your
house,
you
don't
have
to
go
through
any
environmental
review
and
that's
the
case
here.
The
staff
made
a
determination
that
this
project
is
really
no
different.
D
A
10-inch
Phil
lots
is
no
different
than
building
one
house
at
a
time
for
which
no
environmental
review
would
be
required,
and
so
that's
the
reason
why
staff
is
recommending
in
the
staff
report.
The
you
decide,
similar
to
all
of
the
other
reconstructions
that
you've
decided
on
that.
The
project
is
categorically
exempt,
does
not
require
environmental
review.
F

H
Good
evening
mr.
chair
members
of
the
Planning
Commission
I'm
Harry
burrows
I'm
the
city's
project
manager
for
the
crestmore
reconstruction
project.
So
the
question
I
believe
that
mr.
Guernsey
asked
was:
is
the
construction
of
these
homes
going
to
impact
in
any
way
the
construction
of
the
the
final
phase
of
reconstruction
in
the
neighborhood,
the
streets
and
the
sidewalks?
And
it
will
not?
We've
got
two
major
phases
of
construction
left
in
the
neighborhood
reconstruction.
H
The
first
is
the
upper
lateral
replacement
project,
there's
about
a
hundred
and
ninety
homes
that
the
city
would
be
going
out
to
construction
with
here
shortly.
We're
actually
coming
to
city
council
next
week,
with
the
request
for
the
city
council
to
award
a
construction
contract
for
those
hundred
and
ninety
upper
laterals
within
the
neighborhood
upper
sewer
laterals.
As
we
speak,
we're
in
the
process
of
putting
together
the
final
bid
package
for
what
we're
calling
our
phase
4
project,
which
is
all
of
the
surface
improvements
left
in
the
neighborhood.
H
The
roadway
reconstruction
curb
gutter,
with
sidewalk
replacement
and
the
new
street
lights.
We're
planning
on
going
out
to
bid
with
that
project
in
February
timeframe,
februari
March,
with
a
bid
opening
in
April
and
that
construction
start
in
may,
so
that
that
construction
will
be
going
concurrent
with
the
home
construction.
But
we
don't
anticipate
that
there
will
be
any.
You
know
serious
overlap,
issues
within
the
neighborhood.

My
question
is
that
you
had
mentioned
here
that
there
was
going
to
be
a
public
meeting
held
in
our
neighborhood
I'd
like
to
know
where
we
don't
really
have
a
meeting
place
and
we've
tried
it
in
the
firehouse
and
we
got
so
hot
that
somebody
passed
out
during
the
meeting.
There
were
no
chairs
so
I'd
kind
of
like
to
know
where
you're
planning
to
have
it,
because
we
have
several
elderly
people
that
want
to
attend
and
it
isn't
feasible
to
have
it
there.
Good.
B
Question
the
the
neighborhood
meeting
that
we
spoke
about
that
we're
planning
to
hold
on
january
21st
will
be
a
John
Muir
school,
and
then
we
also
mentioned
that.
Subsequently
there
would
be
an
architectural
review
committee
meeting.
We
typically
hold
our
architectural
review
committee
meetings
at
City
Hall
on
el
camino,
real
567,
el
camino,
real.
We
expect
to
have
that
meeting
about
februari
12th
and
that
would
typically
be
in
room
115.
B
B
That's
right,
March,
seventeenth,
actually,
for
that
meeting
day
so
again,
John
Muir
school
for
the
neighborhood
meeting
city
hall
for
the
architectural
review
committee
and
the
planning
commission
meeting
will
be
here
in
this
room
and
there
will
be
notices
sent
out
as
you
receive
notice,
as
many
of
you
hopefully
receive
notices
for
this
meeting
will
be
sending
out
notices
to
the
public
regarding
all
of
those
meetings
as
well.
Thank
you.

You
very
much
thank
you
very
much.
That's
the
end
of
the
item.
5A
crestmore,
neighborhood
and
I'd
like
to
address
the
public
gathered
here
to
comment
that
there's
a
it's
not
totally
unprecedented,
but
it's
a
very
unusual
opportunity
to
come
yourselves
and
invite
your
neighbors
to
the
presentations
in
the
neighborhood
at
the
Architectural
Review
midian
at
the
Planning
Commission.
Oh
I'd
recommend
your
attendance.
If
you
have
an
interest.
Thank
you
very
much.
