is
very
excited

analysis
and

I
want
to

I

This
work
has
evolved
over
two
plus
years
and
in
sharing
the
various
components
of
the
project
you
will
hear
from
several
city
staff
this
evening
before
we
start..
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
the
city
team
standing
on
the
shoulders
of
former
deputy
city
manager
kim
walesh,
who
provided
thoughtful,
steady
leadership
to
all
of
us.
I
I
I
The
community
cannot
achieve
this
vision
on
our
own..
It
requires
a
private
sector
partner
to
invest
and
to
implement,
and
this
takes
us
to
the
memorandum
of
understand
that
was
executed
between
the
city
and
google
back
in
december,
20

the
goals
of
the
email.
You
include:
creating
a
balanced
mixed
use,
development
with
both
market
rate
and
affordable
housing.,
supporting
transit
by
optimizing
density,
as
well
as
effectively
managing
parking
and
improving
the
overall
transportation
network
and
pursuing
equitable
development
to
maximize
the
benefits
and
minimize
the
impacts
to
our
residents,
especially
to
our
disadvantaged
communities..
I
I
want
to
highlight
that
the
city
council's
direction
on
the
top
three
community
benefit
priorities
which
included
affordable
housing
and
tight
displacement
and
job
training
and
opportunity
pathways.,
and
we
are
very
excited
to
share
with
you
this
evening
how
these
goals
have
been
met
in
the
project..
Now,
I'm
going
to
turn
over
the
presentation

to
laurie
severino
sheridan,
program
manager,
who
will
continue
the

We
conducted
around

feedback
on
draft
documents,
including
the
downtown

standards
and
guidelines..
In

this
year,
we
released
the
staff
recommended
draft

in
selected
public
comments
to

Meetings
with
the
planning,
commission,
city,
council
or
other
commissions
that
included
one
item
for
all
of
the
outreach
and
engagement
that
google
maps,
the
stationary
advisory
group
has
been
central
to
this
process.,
but
we
also
used
a
wide
variety
of
methods
and
best
practices
for
inclusive
engagement,
with
the
intent
of
reaching
all
segments
of
the
population.
for
example,,
we
started
a
manager
program
to
partner
with
seven
community
based
organizations
on
outreach
each
mission
in
order
to
reach
new
voices
and
increase
participation..
C
We
also
managed
a
website
and
email
list
to
share
information
and
report
back
to
the
community..
The
participation
among
so
many
community
members
and
organized
has
made
a
big
difference
on
the
process
and
outcomes
for
the
downtown
project..
We
really
appreciate
all
of
their
time
and
energy
and
insight.

the

a

It
would

this

the

community
benefits,
including
google's
expenditures

The
total
community

amount
is
two
hundred
million
dollars,
as
you
see
on
the
far
right.,
it's
an
extraordinary
achievement.
L
particular
really
because
in
many
development
agreements
the
bulk
of
the
community
benefits
are
expended
on
open
space
sustainability
and
local
hiring..
The
downtown
west
project
achieves
all
of
that,
but
in
the
base
of
the

the
two

is
in

An
example

be
seen
already
in

a

connects

it's
located
mostly
on
private
sites,
but
there
are
some
public
crossings
that
will
be
covid
through
coach
encroachment
agreements
with
the
city..
A
number
of
infrastructure
improvements
will
also
be
included
as
part
of
the
development
such
as
the
upsizing
of
storm
and
sanitary
systems
and
other
larger
improvements,
such
as
the
reconstruction
of
western
west.
J

Also
includes
an
electrical
microgram
system..
This
is
consistent
with
the
development
goals,
as
well
as
council
priority
for
increased
energy
resiliency
as
well
as
onsite
renewable
energy..
There
are
multiple
options
for
this
electric
service
delivery..
The
first
option
is
pg&e
retail
service
through
their
community
micro

program..
D
D
That
there's
a
significant
initial
additional
analysis
that
is
thought
to
be
completed
for
this
city
option..
So
some
of
that
analysis
includes
the
development
of
a
business
plan,
a
risk
benefit
assessment
as
well
as
agreements..
We
do
expect
to
bring
forward

D
the
plan
we're
considering
tonight,
is
one
that
was
created
with
input
from
thousands
of
touch
points
with
the
community
from
those
initial
community
walks
to
dozens
of
community
leaders,
design,
workshops
and
more..
We're
very
proud
of,
and
thankful
for
this
process
to
transition
to
the
side.
To
give
you
more
details
on
the.
H
H
Been
extraordinarily
humbling
and
something
we
have
learned
so
much
from
organizationally
and
has
brought
us
to
something
that
is
really
not
a
google
ball,
but
a
community
plan
partnered
with
the
city
and
the
community
to
bring
a
part
of
downtown
forward,
and
we
know
really
respectful
that
this
is
10
years
in
the
making
that
the
city
has
envisioned
this
for
some
time..
We
were
inspired
by
that
vision
and
wanted
to
come
to
help
contribute
to
it
as
we.
H
Contributing
and
listening,
and
hopefully
speaking,
a
bit
later.,
but
we
got
thousands
of
touch
points
and
what
we
tried
to
do
is
really
think
about
different
ways
that
we
can
reach
people
and
interact
with
them,
whether
it's
in
your
own
neighborhoods
in
their
own
communities,,
bringing
them
on
site,,
creating
more
interactive,
visual
mechanisms.,
but
also
I'm
sitting
down
and
having
really
good
conversations
and
those
thousands
of
data
points
created.
Something
really
unique..
We've
heard
so
many
specific
ideas
around
how
the.
H
Likewise,
as
we
shifted
into
cupboard,
we
want
to
thank
those
who
continue
to
on
with
us..
We
had
a
variety
of
encompass
station
series..
We
had
videos
that
went
out
with
feedback
loops
for
them
and
we
had
a
really
diep
process
with
many
in
the
equity
community
and
education
community
on
how
we
think
of
that
important
issue.
H
Equitable.
Development.-
ultimately,
this
has
led
to
a
plan
that
is
of
the
city
of
the
community
and
very
much
that
integrates
all
of
these
aspirations
into
one
layered
plan,
and
so
we
often
talk
about
that
as
a
social
infrastructure
plan
which
we're
committed
to
in
the
long
haul..
It
also
transforms
and
built
on
the
foundation
of
the
general
plan
to
support
this
pederson
as
a
as
a
central
part
of
innovation
in
regional
employment..
H
H
H
This
is
about
a
long
haul
and
we
are
not
a
developer
who's
coming
in
for
five
years,
but
we're
really
about
thinking
about
how
we
can
become
an
integrated
part
of
the
neighborhood..
I
also
want
to
pause
on
this
day,
also
in
the
context
of
it,
and
so
many
things
that
have
happened
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
Since
we've
had
the
m.o.
H
Tree
canopy,
for
those
who
don't
know,
reduces
depression
rates
by
50
percent.,
that's
an
astounding
figure..
It
shows
that
these
are
public
health
measures
as
much
as
they
are
planning
measures..
Likewise,
we
know
we
need
to
find
a
smarter,
greener
way.
Forward.
and
there's
been
incredible
partnership
city
to
get
to
those
net
zero
goals
to
build
some
seven
miles
of
mobility
infrastructure.
That's
going
to
allow
us
to
travel
in
different
ways
and
connect
in
different
ways
and
to
build
an
ecological
layer
across
the
project..
H
We
often
talk
about
this
as
a
project
that
also
needs
to
see
to
look
and
plan
not
in
its
boundaries
but
as
a
complete
neighborhood..
We
shouldn't
be
looking
and
we
plan
as
it
relates
to
the
80
acres.
We
planting
concentric
circles.
If
you
will.,
we
planned
on
what
are
the
15
minute
walks.,
how
close
to
other
resources,?
How
do
we
build
on
those
resources,,
nabbed
them,
et
cetera,?
That
was
a
really
important
part
of
the
foundation
of
what
the
community
the
neighborhoods
told
us,
and
that
folks,
like
dan,
really
helped
influence
the
thinking..
H
H
Certainly,
this
is
a
moment
in
time,
and
we
see
it
as
the
start
versus
the
beginning.,
so
I'm
just
speed
up
a
little
bit
and
transition
us
into
those
design
guidelines
and
some
of
their
asking
prns
to
hold
many
of
these
important
goals..
We
obviously
are
not
a
single
building
where
our
composition
of
buildings
and
likewise
we're
not
an
area
plan..
We
have
sort.
H
H
creating
a
highly
contextual
solution
that
can
get
a
bit
more
specific
than
an
area
plan
because
it
is
more
contained
by
it
can
hold
all
those
goals
that
range
from
land
use
to
buildings,
to
open
space,
even
lighting
and
signage..
How
do
we
have
a
learning,
layer,,
a
layer
that
represents
and
celebrates
the
history
of
san
jose?,
and
even
things
like
the
history
of
learning,
wrong
climate
action
and
sustainability.?
So
as
the
design
guidelines
are
set,
up,
they're
really
there
to
go
into
that
level.
Specificity,
articulate
these
dramatic
ideas
in
very
practical
ways.
H
H
Absolutely
believe
that
there
is
a
juxtaposition
between
that
nature
and
highly
urban
areas
that
there
needs
to
be
areas
where
we
can
tap
into
the
incredible
events
and
celebratory
culture
that
exists
in
san
jose.
and
what
better
place
to
put
that
than
along
santa
clara,
where
we
really
think
about
how
the
edges
can
work
in
order
to
support
that
more
public
and
social
facing
element.
As
a
juxtaposition
to
that,
we
have
the
creek
and
we
are
able
to
use
that
creek
as
a
place.
H
It
feels
like
you're,
not
in
the
city,
that
is
right
at
the
doorstep
of
transit.,
and
so
all
of
these
moves
are
very
specifically
highlighted
in
the
design
guidelines
in
terms
of
their
intent
with
flexibility
on
how
to
get
to
that
intent,
which
leaves
for
creativity..
A
last
example
might
be
also
utilizing
things
intent
wise,
like
what
would
you
consider
maybe
a
course
piece
of
the
district
system's
central
utility
plant
and
utilizing
those
as
opportunities
for
interactive
educational,
education
and
social
engagement..
H
So
it's
been
a
very
thoughtful
process
across
those
design
aspirations
and
across
the
social
infrastructure
plan,
which
is
really
the
three
components
of
the
base.
Project
features
the
community
benefits
and
the
city
requirements.,
and
we
are
again
very
thankful
for
all
those
who
came
on
this
journey
with
us
and
we
hope
that
next.

A
That
the
road
to
success
is
dotted
with
many
tempting
parking
spaces,
and
it's
rare
that
an
expression
actually
has
literal
truth
and
in
some
instances
it's.
I
want
to
thank
the
extraordinary
team
that
worked
together
to
keep
us
on
the
road
to
success,
and
we
certainly
hope
with
a
positive
vote
today
and
continued
hard.

Of
course
that's
making
this
transformational
investment
and
everybody
on
the
city
team
work
so
hard..
I
want
to
take
the
unusual
step
of
actually
thanking
some
folks
before
we
get
to
a
community
comment..
We
know
we
do
want
to
hear
from
all
the
members
of
the
community,
but
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
those
who
have
been
working
so
very
hard
and
really
starting
with.

looking

want
to

I
think

so
well..
I
want
to
thank
first
and
foremost
as
we
go
through
the
names
I
just
want
to.
Thank
the
google
team.
you
know,
at
least
on
a
couple
of
occasions
over
the
prior
half
decade
before
this
project
got
started.
A
I
had
begged
and
pleaded
and
pitched
google
to
take
a
look
at
our
downtown
transit
center.,
and
I
think
I
talked
to
george
sala,
who
used
to
be
on
the
real
estate
team,
and
I
recall
talking
to
david
radcliff
and
others.
In
generally,
I
got
a
response
that
well,,
you
know,,
we'll
think
about
it.
and
really
we
only
got
a
first
date
about
five
years
ago
and
it
was
in
late
2016
when
I
got
a
phone
call
from
mark
goldman
and
I
suspect
it
wasn't
a
coincidence..
A
Opportunity
didn't
see.,
and
I
want
to
thank
them
for,
and
everybody
google
for
seeing
the
possibility.
Their
vision
was
not
for
a
campus,
but
for
a
vibrant
urban
village.,
and
that
was
consistent
with
our
community's
vision..
That
would
transform
downtown
west,.
That
would
enable
our
community
to
achieve
our
long
standing
aspirations
for
a
vibrant
core
in
our
city.,
and
it
was
a
time.
A
Not
long
after,
I
think
a
couple
months
later
that
another
major
tech
company
was
famously
demanding
billions
of
fees
from
cities
throughout
the
country
for
its
second
headquarters.,
but
mark
was
very
clear
and
we
were
on
the
same
page
from
the
start
of
our
conversation..
They
wouldn't
ask
the
city
for
a
dime.,
the
city
wouldn't
cut
any
taxes
or
fees
or
be
no
land.
A
Giveaways.
google
wanted
simply
to
be
treated
fairly,
to
have
predictability,
that
they
followed
the
rules
and
be
able
to
move
forward.
and,
of
course,
google
did
far
more
than
follow
the
rules.,
then
a
massive
commitments,
the
community,
obviously
the
largest
private
sector
investment
in
our
city's
history
and
as
nancy
described.
A
So
well
more
than
a
billion
dollars
in
public
benefits
and
everything
from
affordable
housing
to
scholarships
for
for
kids
did
parks
and
trails..
I
really
want
to
thank
alexa
reyna,
who
spearheaded
the
initiative
is,
got
the
committee
process
going
and
just
did
a
masterful
job
leading
the
project,
managing
on
multiple
fronts,
negotiating
on
multiple
fronts,
along
with
marc
and
joe
and
the
rest
of
the
team.

shot
out
to
have
your
concise
record
have
been
a
need
for
exceptional
work,
engaging
with
the
city
and
the
community
stakeholders..
I
think
it
certainly
helped.
A
I
also
want
to
thank
rebecca
cruzan
who
helped
particularly
the
legislator,
friends.
we're
pushing
to
get
legislation
to
sacramento.
and
everybody
on
the
google
executive
team
with

walk

And
make
sure
that
we
had
people
driving
that
would
get
it
done.
and
he
committed
that
to
me..
I
remember
in
that
conversation
and,
of
course
he
got
kim
walesh
on
board
immediately,
who
did
not
standing
job
leading
and
coordinating
the
city's
efforts
for
several
years
until
she
just
left
the
city
very
recently.
and
again,.
I
want
to
acknowledge
kim
as
she
was
acknowledged.
and
then,
of
course,
the
team
that
you've
just
heard
from
rosalynn
and
nancy
rose
and
shepherded.
A
Probably
the
most
complex
planning
project
in
our
city's
history.
nancy
did
a
masterful
job
negotiating
with
google,
with
sharks,
with
spot
everybody
and
johnny
fan,
who
I'm
told
by
nancy,
has
been
voted
mvp..
It's
not
very
often
that
an
attorney
gets
the
mvp
vote
and
it
sets
off
a
lot
particularly..
I
know
about
this
recent
agreement
with
johnny
with
the
sharks.
that
was
very.
A
I'm

with,
governor

who,
from
the
first
time
I
talked
to
him
about
this
project,
could
do
very
well
about
it,
because
our
city
team
had
been
advocating
for
so
long
and
protest..
Toni

essential,
our

for
their
work..
A
A
Worked
incredibly
hard
through
dozens
of

and
I
know
those
were
very
long
meetings..
I
appreciate
their
commitment
to
making
sure
we
got
to
the
finish
line
with
something
that
they
would
be
proud
of
and
we'd
all
be
proud.
Of..
I
want
to

I

I
see
we
have
two
hundred

I
suspect
we're
going
to
have
a

of

So,
with
apologies,
I'm
going
to
ask
that
we
limit

We

I
suspect,
with

the

who
want
to
speak.
We're
gonna
be
here
for
a

So

over

last
four
years,
we've
been
actively
engaged
with

advocating
for
this
development
agreement
to
address
the
lack
of
affordable
housing,
displacement,
the
need
for

benefits
and
to
acknowledge
that
the
impact
of
this
agreement
extends
far
beyond
the

area..
We
strongly
support
the
community
stabilization

that
must
be
grounded
in
racial
justice
and
governed
by
grassroots
leaders..
Community
members,
particularly
those
from
communities

will
have

it
done
the

they
did
lots
of
outreach.,
they
did
lots
of
listening
and
they
work
towards
real
solutions..
I
raised
a
concern
about
a
mitigation
they
proposed.
They
worked.
my
concern,
made
changes
and
got
back
to
me
with
an
individual
meeting..
That's
the
kind
of
outreach
that
works.
they
paid
attention
to
the
respecting

respecting
the

they're
bringing
nature

by
using

appropriate
california

that

support,

We
are
thrilled
that

has
been
protected
and
that
an
urban
downtown

rather
a
community
closer
to

will
be
coming

That
will
be
better

Together

sent
a
letter
of
support
for

and
its
associated
development
with
the
city
of

For

advocated
for

and

in
santa

while
at
the
same
time
promoting
good
urban

that
focuses
density
in
the.
F
Know
that
this
is
going
to
go
through,
there's
no
stopping
it
now..
I
just
regret
the
fact
that
we
didn't
involve
more
house
people
in
the
process
and
trying
to
get
them
involved..
I
did
my
best
to
try
to
bring
that
voice
to
the
conversation.,
although
I
was
pretty
well
limited
and
and
again,
I
regret
that
we
didn't
have
that
opportunity
for
more
people
to
voice
their
opinions
and
to
really
know
about.
What's
going
on
and
this
passing
of
laws.
F
Small
right
now,
I
think,
is
just
another
way:
they're
going
to
cast
a
net
to
try
to
get
people
out
of
st.
james
park
and
out
of
the
downtown
area,
and
I
don't
know
if
that
was
part
of
the
plan.
But
I
know
map
mahan
was
there
pushing
for
it
as
well
as
I'm?
Not
gonna
canvass
have
been
doing
it
for
a
long
time
and
knowing
that
that.
F
D
D
Experienced
this
a
delay
of
nearly
an
hour
while
the
parking
lot
was
emptied..
Also
on
to
note,
in
the
google
presentation
there
was
a
photo
of
a
demonstration
doors
on
bike
lane..
I
hope
that
there
are
no
doors
on
bike
lanes
in
this
project..
Also,
let's
keep
an
eye
on
the
forty
eight
hundred
spaces
that
could
be
added
to
see
if
we're
going
to
need
to
do
additional
things,
to
discourage
congestion
in
downtown
and
move
to
a
more
livable
city.

Good
evening.,
mayor
and
council
members
alice
kaufman,
legislative
advocacy
director
for
green
foothills.
I'll
keep
this
brief..
I
think
linda,
ruth,,
ralph,,
dave,,
michelle
and
carolyn
might
already
said
a
lot
of
what
I
was
planning
to
say..
Obviously,
we
support
the
project
and
I
think
I
just
want
to
say.
I
really
hope
that
this
can
be
a
model
for
what
the
other
developers
can
do
in
the
future..
If
you're
bringing
in
nature
into
your
project
is
actually
not
any
harder
than
bringing
in
a
non-native
plants
and
traditional
landscaping.,
it
can
be
done
so
I'll.

J
N
Representative
with
carpenters,
local,
four
or
five,
and
on
behalf
of
roughly
seventy
seven
hundred
members
here
in
santa
clara.,
I'm
here
to
ask
that
you
support
google's
downtown
watch
development
through
a
collaborative
and
equitable
process.
With
the
city
and
community.,
google
has
proposed
a
project
that
is
reimagined
on
station
area
from
affordable
to
workforce
housing
with
ample
open,
space,,
walkable,
retail
and
easy
access
to
transit..
Google
has
made
a
commitment
to
this
community.
That
is
not
the
only
commitment
by
partnering,
with
responsible
contractors.
N
That
will
create
thousands
of
good
paying
union
jobs,
one
that
will
provide
an
opportunity
for
local
apprentices,
including
women,
minorities
and
disadvantaged
youth,
to
begin
a
career
in
the
construction
industry
with
livable
wages,
health
care
and
retirement
benefits,
not
to
mention
build
tomorrow's
skilled,
labor
workforce..
This
will
allow
for
members
live
and
work
within
their
own
community,
not
have
to
make
long
commutes
to
get
to
work.
N
lugar's
proposed
a
development
that
is
outlined
fits
all
the
goals
of
the
own
area
plan
and
in
conjunction
with
community
and
local
labor,
to
bring
forth
a
project
that
centers
they
will
be
proud
of
for
years
to
come..
It
should
be
a
model
for
development
throughout
the
state,
if
not
the
nation.

In

we

We
will
strongly
oppose

I
think
the

a
half
to
get

It's
gonna
be
a
good
plan..
I
just
hope
that
it
doesn't
take
years
to
build
and
that
there
is
gonna
be
enough:
electricity
and
water..
We
have
a
infrastructure
problem
here
in
california..
It's
not
that
good
statewide,
a

these..
I
mean
we're
paying
you
high
premium
for
utilities
and
the
tax
on
the
utilities.
High
now
and
you're
gonna
be
building
all
these

it's
take
a

energy
to
do
that.

once

there.
There'll

of

was
a
dilapidated
ghost
town.
make
no
mistakes.,
I'm
not
against
the
development
of
downtown,
but
not
at
the
cost
of
the
sharks..
The
sharks
and
svp
center
need
to
be
included
in
the
development
rather
than
an
after
thought.
That
requires
last
second
negotiation..
I
also
find
it
odd
to
see
images
of
creeks
featured
in
several
of
the
development
markups.
N
Considering
the
vast
amount
of
san
jose
creeks
today
are
either
being
destroyed
by
the
large
homeless
population
or
simply
used
as
a
dump.,
no
matter
how
much
as
a
residents
call
for
action.
I
find
it
misleading
that
all
the
plans
brought
forward
assume
the
sharks
have
released
their
controlled
parking
lots
which,
from
what
I
know
they
still
have
not
done
while
mayor
liccardo
has
stated
publicly
that
no
part
of
the
development
will
threaten
the
team's
tenure..
The
sharks
have
already
said
that
the
current
plan
does
in
fact
threaten
the
viability
of
a
peace
center..
N
D
E
E
E
Project,
that's
transformational,
as
many
have
stated
before..
I
won't
go
through
all
that,
but
it's
also
in
harmony
with
the
needs
of
the
neighborhoods
and
nature,
and
that's
real
important
to
this
family..
It's
real
important
to
the
downtown
residents
of
san
jose..
It's
a
unique
opportunity
for
the
economic
growth
and
the
future
of
san
jose..
I
don't
think
that
there's
been
anyone
that
has
been
more
committed
than
google
to
the
community
outreach
and
he
has
been
selfless
in
that
approach..
P
N
N
N
N
I've
been
grateful
for
the
union
trees
all
throughout
the
various
counties
here
to
be
able
to
build
projects
like
this..
This
is
an
opportunity
of
a
lifetime..
I've
been
so
thankful
that
we've
been
able
to
gain
a
partnership
within
counties
and
cities
and
everybody
else..
So
I
highly
support
or
support
these
projects
and
I'm
very
looking
forward
to
it.
and
I
wishes
would
pass
so
I
can
be
able
to
build
the
opportunity
for
my

to
see

hope
you'll.

once
again,.
Once
again,
it's
been
demonstrated
that
when
community
members
work
together
in
a
common
struggle,
they
are
able
to
draw
attention
to
unacceptable
conditions
and
seek
out
resources
and
realize
their
rights
in
a
way
that
benefit
them
and
their
neighbors..
One
of
the
most
exciting
aspects
of
this
agreement
is
the
fact
that
it.

Puts
real
decision
making
power
in
the
hands
of
grassroots
leaders
in
regards
to
how.?
How
did
50
million
dollar
fund
will
be
used
for
this
project
system,
new
model,
for
how
tech
and
other
departments
can
keep
families
house
and
lift
the
quality
of
blue
collar

I
only
wish
that
the
owners
of
the
various
free
market
would
follow
the
example
of
google
and
take
action
to
prevent
the
displacement
of
the
hundreds
of
vendors
who
worked
so
hard
to
make
a
living
in
a
market.,
but
that
is
another
story..

thank
tonight.,
my

I
am
twenty
two
years

I
was
a
resident
and
also
fourth
period
apprentice
of
carpenters
locals
four
or
five
speaking
in
favor
of
google's
downtown
west
project..
This
project
will
provide
me
with
an
opportunity
to
learn
carpentry
skills
alongside
journeymen,
that
have
had
experience
for
many
years
while
advancing
my
career
to
become
a
journeyman
carpenter..
D
It
will
also
provide
me
with
much
needed
benefits
and
will
help
me
continue
my
career
as
a
carpenter
worker
towards
a
retirement..
This
project
will
also
provide
me
with
a
livable
income,
helping
my
fiancee
and
I
to
one
day,
buy
a
house
of
our
own
and
be
a
better
living
environment..
I
am
in
full
support
of
google's
downtown

ask
that
you
pass
and
allow
the
opportunity
to
have
the

build
this

Key
to
relieve
sprawl
pressure
from
our
natural
working
lands
that
provide
countless
kind
of
benefits
for
our
region..
This
is
crucial,
as
we
say,
as
we
face
increasingly
severe
climate
hazards
like
flooding,,
wildfires.,
drought.,
sea
level
rise
and
extreme
heat,
all
of
which
disproportionately
impact
online
communities
over
the
years..
San

has
already
undergone
the
process
of
full
visioning
that
aims
to
address
the
shared
needs
of

A
saturday

my

left
you
and
I
work
with
you,
man..
It's
been
a
dramatic
burning
america.
and
I
support
the
downtown
west
development
agreement..
We
are
here
today
with
such
a
strong
community
benefits
package,
because
google
seems
decent
in
response
to
our
organizing..
They
started
working
with
our
coalition
of
housing,
advocates,
community
organizations
and
labor
groups..
F
Q
Of
any
project
in
the
city's
history.,
this
puts
a
commitment
to
help
for
the
construction
of
roughly
a
thousand
five
hundred
affordable
homes.
Ensuring
24
percent
of
housing
in
the
project
is
affordable..
Our
communities
hopeful
that
the
first
commitments
from
the
community
fund
support
community
land,
trusts,

Afternoon,
mario
liccardo
council
staff.,
my
name
is
umberto

I
was
a
resident
member
of
drywall,
author's
local.
Ninety
one,
forty
four
here
and
zé,
and
I
would
like
thanks
for
allowing
me
to
speak
on
behalf
of
this
great
project
downtown,
which
is
not
only
bringing
many
great
community
benefit.
he's,
also
bringing
good
paying
construction
jobs,
provide
livable
wages
and
benefits
for
people
like
me
that
live
right
here
in
san
jose,
while
also
allowing
the
money
to
stay
here
in
the
community
community,
benefiting
our
local
economy
and
our
local
businesses..
F
Of
course,
I
would
say
a
home
for
the
for
the
last
twenty
five
years
and
I'm
excited
to
see
the
project
like
this
coming
to
san
say,
which
will
enhance
the
pregnancy
of
downtown
and
will
also
provide
the
much
affordable
housing
for
our
underserved
community,.
You
know,
to
count
the
many
jobs
that
will
be
created
permanently..
I
urge
you
to
allow
this
project
to
move
forward
with
a
project
like
this..
Many
members
of
our
community
can
go
back
to
work
after
devastating
impact
of
the
pen
and
help
rebuild
our
local
economy
and
help
us
rebuild.

A
Comments,
one
of
which
reminded
me
to
think
john,
can
I
thank
you,
scott
neese,
for
mentioning
john.
Without
his
help
and,
namely
us
to
expand
capacity
to
build
taller..
We
know
an
awful
lot
of
this
project
wouldn't
be
possible.,
so
definitely
appreciate
that
that
shout
out.,
nora
freeman,,
thank
you
also
for
leading
our
legal
team
and
and
obviously
st.
john,.
He
could
have
the
time
to
dedicate
to
this
project.
all
right..
C
Want
to
thank
the
entire
team,
as
as
you
did
mayor
of
the
city,
staff,,
google
consultants
and
the
community
for
the
years
of
work,
to
get
us
to
this
point.
I
was
so
excited.
I
could
barely
see
my
dinner..
This
is
not
only
the
largest
development
project
in
santa
is
a
history..
It's
also
one
of
the
most
significant
and
transformative
large
scale,
transit,
oriented
developments
happening
in
the
entire
world,
and
it's
happening
here
and
one
of
the
largest
cities
in
america
with
one
of
the
world's
largest
companies..
There
are
many
unique
aspects
to
this
project..
C
That's
why
the
proposal
the
presentations
took
so
long
and
took
so
many
people,
but
not
least
among
them.,
and
what
hasn't
been
mentioned
yet,
is
that
both
google
and
the
city
women
have
held
key
leadership
roles
in
many
areas
throughout
this
process
so
far,
which
is
still
almost
unbelievably
very
unusual
in
the
real
estate
and
development
field..
So
I
wanted
to
make
sure
to
mention
that
this
evening,
the
result
of
these
years
of
work
and
extensive
community
engagement
is
an
agreement
that
I
venture
to
say,
has
something
for
almost
everyone
to
love..
C
It's
parks,
trails
and
open
space,,
environmentally
friendly
design,,
affordable
housing,
job
opportunities
or
community
programs..
There
is
so
much
to
talk
about
in
this
in
this
project.
and,
if
you've
read
the
entire
four
hundred.
Ninety
five
page
development
agreement,
as
I
have
in
detail,
you'll,
certainly
agree
that
this
is
a
very
advantageous
deal
for
our
city
of
san
jose.
and
as
an
aside,
I
want
to
thank
nancy
and
nicole
for
answering
all
my
texts.
As
I
was
going
through
those
four
hundred.
Ninety
five
pages..
There
were
many
one.

Will
effectively
lower
the
overall
cost
of
the
development
and
will
just,
I
would
say,
streamline
the
process
because
there's
been
a
whole
lot
of
of
negotiation.
That's
already
taken
place
and
documentation,
and
all
of
that
is
is
done
ahead
of
time.,
and
so
it
just
allows
the
affordable
housing
development
to
move
forward
with
all
of
that
in
place..
So
it
will.
It
will
decrease
the
costs
and
decrease
the
time
and.
C
C
C
council
member
promise,
and
I
can
be
competitors
at
times,
and
we
have
also
proved
through
this
process
that
we
can
be
good
collaborators..
I
appreciate
that.,
so
I
will
now
move
the
memo
by
council
member
peralez,
the
mayor
and
myself,
which
the
staff
recommendations
from
the
original
memo
on
the
14th
of
may,
as
well
as
the
supplemental
memo
on
the
17th.
and
then
I'll
also
move
the
staffs
memo
from
today..
Thank
you,
prns
member.
A
G
The
thanks
as
well.
and
I'll
start
off
by
thanking
the
community
members
who
who
did
show
up
today
and
I
think,
as
was
heard,
clearly
overwhelming
support,
and
that's
really
just,
I
think,
a
testament
to
the
amount
of
work
that
was
put
in
quite
frankly
by
everybody
involved
over
the
last
several
years
and
especially
want
to
thank
and
appreciate
the
mayor..
G
G
Many
individuals
to
thank
rosalynn
huey.
tim
rood,
hosie,
guano.,
kim
walesh.,
laurie
severino.,
lee
wilcox.
nancy,
kline.,
jackie
moore,
ellis
friend.,
rachel
vander,
veen.,
nicole
berman.,
that
just
so
many
individuals
that
my
staff
has
worked
with
directly
through
this
process.
As
council
member
davis
pointed
out
so
much
back
and
forth
over
the
years.,
and
thank
you
to
the
two.
G
G
A
lot
of
work.,
but
to
see
the
collaboration
over
the
last
few
years
has
really,
really
been.
I
think,
a
testament
to
what
we
can
achieve..
It
took
the
whole
city
to
come
together
and
it
certainly
didn't
come
without
its
challenges.,
but
we
still
continued
to
work
despite
even
this
current
pandemic.
this
past
year
and
you
know,
early
on
in
the
process
myself
and.
G
A
number
of
colleagues
advocated
for
a
very
thorough
community
process,
knowing
that
residents
around
this
area
specifically,
would
be
the
most
impacted,
despite
the
fact
that
we
would
see
effects
citywide.,
and
we
know
that
we
wanted
that
to
be
a
broad
engagement
as
well..
I
also
ask
google
to
be
a
partner
with
our
city
and
do
additional
outreach
and
they
rose
to
that
occasion..
G
My
office
in
particular,
participated
in
over
50
community
meetings
in
which
google
helped
to
partner
or
host
in
council
member
davis,
and
I
met
with
residents
members
of
the
teardown
area,
neighborhood
group
continuum
throughout
this
process.
and
as
she
stated,
which
is
why
you'll
see
the
memo
that
we
have
coauthored
with
the
mayor
for
today,
a
traditional
development
process
would
have
brought
together,
potentially
hundreds
of
disjoint
individual
development
proposals
that
in
no
way
would
have
been
able
to
bring
about
the
community
benefits
that
this
development
agreement
is
bringing
us
today..
G
This
is
indeed
the
gold
standard
for
how
a
private
developer
can
work
together
with
the
city
and
the
community,
to
truly
be
able
to
benefit
everybody
involved.,
and
I
think
that
the
late
even
settlement
agreement
is
this.
This
late
memo
with
an
opportunity
with
the
sharks
is
even
that
much
more
indicative
of
this
effort?.
G
M

Am
grateful
for
both
the
google
staff
and
city
staff
to
sit
down
with
me
on
a
regular
basis
to
go
over
various
phases
of
this
projects.
I
could
understand
and
get
up
to
speed
to
the
level
that
I
needed
to
be
in
order
to
make
this
huge
decision
today..
There
is
so
much
in
this
project
to
like
the
the
parks,
housing
open,
space,,
the
community
benefits
peace,
the
in
the
the
in
the.
M
Support
the
memo
from
the
mayor
council,
member
davis
and
peralez..
In
fact,
I
was
thinking
of
submitting
my
own
memo
regarding
the
one
million
dollars
poured
towards
gardiner,
because
I
think
we
truly
need
to
commit
to
gardner..
Gardner
is
as
close
to
the
closest
community
center
to
do
it
on
station
and
the
google
project,
and
we
need
to
support
the
gardner
community
as
much
as
possible..
I
used
to
be
the
trustees
school
board,
member
trustee
for
that
area,
and
I
never
felt
like
I
gave
it
as
much
attention
or
love
as
I
possibly
needed
to..
M
M
L
L
M
H
H
Will
start
to
organize
and
think
about
our
phase
1.,
and
so
part
of
that
is
a
couple
of
years
of
design
process,
probably
a
little
less
than
that
before
shovels
are
really
in
the
ground
and
we
get
started
with
a
good,
balanced
mixed
use,
piece
of
our
first
phase..
We
want
to
make
sure
it
has
open
space,,
it
has
housing
and
it
has
office
in
it
as
well
balanced..
So
we
hope
very
soon.
M
H
H
L
L
L
Have
had
models
that
we've
looked
at
and
work
that
that
the
city
staff
have
done
in
conjunction
with
alum
rock
and
d5
and
looking
at
anti
displacement
for
small
businesses..
Those
efforts
are
very
much
supported
by
google,
looking
in
a
variety
of
ways
of
how
those
small
businesses
who
are
there
now
and
who
will
come
to
the
area
can
benefit
from
having
the
surge
in
in
the
company,
as
well
as
all
the
people
who
will
work
and
be
around.
ok.
great.
thank
you.

Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
To
especially
thank
our
community
members
who
have
made
the
time
to
not
only
call
in
tonight
but
be
part
of
the
process
in
this
last
three
years,
they've
given
of
their
time
and
they've
given
up
their
energy.,
and
so
congratulations
to
you
for
the
results
that
we
have
today..
It
clearly
is
part
of
the
work
that
you've
done.
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
L
L
L
L
L
L
L
I'm
not
in
any
way
trying
to
be
disrespectful,
we'll
give
money,
but
we'll
not
integrate
their
efforts
to
bring
people
in
pipeline
into
the
company.,
and
that
is
an
effort
that
worked
a
future
and
google
is
going
to
has
committed
to
be
on
work
to
future's
board
as
example..
We
need
to
keep
bringing
more
companies
together,
specifically.
L
Which
will
help
diversity,,
which
will
help
in
a
lot
of
different
ways.?
So
it's
an
aspirational
goal,
but
one
that
we're
very,
very
keyed
into..
We
also
need
to
make
sure
we
recognize
the
city
won't.
Do
the
bulk
of
this
work..
We
need
to
be
very
close
and
very
culturally
relevant
language
relevant
to
organizations
that
can
coordinate
the
learning
that
will
be
able
to
meet
with.
Q
There's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
influx
of
new
san
jose
residents,
but
I
won't
argue
in
our
adults
who
might
be
displaced
because
of
this
pandemic
to
also
have
an
opportunity
to
walk
through
those
doors..
So
how
are
we
going
to?
Who
is
going
to
conveying
that
and
how
are
we
going
to
integrate
this
these
principles
and
these
objectives
into
the
five
year
strategic
plan?,
again,
remember.,
go.
A
A
A
Science
related
fields,
for
example,
that
google
might
be
hiring
from.,
so
so
that's
our
vision
for
trying
to
extend
this..
Obviously
this
is
just
in
the
nascent
stage
now
and
I
think
by
far
we'll
have
about
a
thousand
students
involved.,
but
we
really
love
to
would
expand
it
with
these
resources..
I.
Q
Q
Q
We
can
talk
about
this
offline,
but
I
know
that
I'm
asking
for
a
logic
model
from
all
of
our
programs
so
that
we
can
see
where
that
scaffolding
is
in
terms
of
learning
capacity,
building,
career
planning
and
really
getting
to
to
a
place
where
you
have
a
job
here
in
san
jose..
I
don't
know
that
it's
clear
at
this
point
and
that's
why
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
integrate
that
at
some.
Q
R
Just
I
think
my
colleagues
covid
the
thank
you's
incredibly
well.,
but
I
I
will
pile
on
for
for
just
a
moment
and
add
my
thanks
to
everyone
brought
us
to
this
really
exciting
point..
I
feel
like
even
over
resume.
The
excitement
is
palpable
and
I'm
certainly
feeling
it..
So
you
know,,
I'm
new
to
council
and
I've
followed,
follow
this
project
and
this
concept
for
quite
a
few
years
now,
and
it's
been
incredibly
excited
and,
as
was
referenced,
earlier,.
R
I
also
want
to
keep
my
kids
in
san
jose
for
the
long
haul
and
thank
you
to
google
for
contributing
to
that
goal..
I
think
you
know,,
thankfully
toby
and
I
still
have
quite
a
few
years
before
we
have
to
worry
about
that.,
but
hopefully
by
then
this
vision
that
we're
looking
at
tonight
will
be
will
be.
R
Manifest,
will
be
realized
in
our
community..
So
thank
you
to
google
on
the
team
for
wanting
bastien
and
grow
instead
of
zé
and
from
going
to
great
lengths
to
ensure
that
it's
going
to
be
a
win
for
our
entire
community,
which
is
something
I
know.
Council
ortbal
was
just
speaking
to
and
I'll
I'll
say.
R
But
I
very
much
share
it..
I
also
want
to
thank
city
staff
for
the
countless
hours
of
work
and
I
know
there
are
countless
more
to
come..
I
actually
realized
that
the
plan
that
I
believe
we're
gonna
prove
in
a
moment
here.
I
want
to
thank
liccardo
and
his
team
council,
members.
davis
and
peralez,
who
I
know
have
invested
from
time
and
effort.
and
of
course
think
that
the
many,
many
community
members,
neighborhood
leaders,
business
and
labor
representatives
and
others
who
really
engaged
deeply
participate
in
the
sag
and
shaped
this
vision
and
made
it
something.
R
R
R
Move
people
around
more
efficiently
and
safely
in
this
area..
How
do
we
give
sharp's
fans
convenient
alternatives
to
driving
and
parking,
while
also
acknowledging
our
commitments
around
those
things,,
providing
more
mobility
options
to
residents
and
increasing
the
convenience
of
making
this
area
accessible
to
residents
who
may
lack
access
to
high
frequency
transit,
which
is,
I
just
have
to
point
out
representing
district
10,
where
many
of
my
residents
are
lucky
if
they
live
half
a
mile
from
a
bus
line
that
maybe
runs
every
30
or
40
minutes.
R
You
know,,
certainly
we
don't
want
them
to
feel
excluded
from
this
space..
So
how
do
we?
How
do
we
increase
those
opportunities?
and
so,?
You
know,,
just
kind
of
a
few
others
want
to
speak.
I'd,
be
especially
interested
to
hear
the
conversation.
Staff
is
currently
having
and
plans
to
have
with
staff
at
pta
cal
train
other
entities
and
partners,
including
google,
of
course,
how
we're
anticipating
this
monumental
investment
in
the
increased
demand,
and
maybe
more
specifically,
what
are
we?.
What
are
we
requesting?.
R
R
O
We
have
all
really
been
partnering
with
us
and
collaborating
on
transit
throughout
the
city
throughout
the
region.
in
the
case
of
caltrans
and
mtc
and
in
the
future
high-speed
rail.,
and
so
our
collective
goal
is
to
continue
to
grow
the
transit,,
the
rail,,
the
mobility
network
generally
as
a
city
and
with
our
partners,
so
that
our
transit
operations
as
well
as
are
our
rail,
connects
this
particular
place
to
all
of
california
and
particularly
on
a
frequent
basis
all
day
long
into
the
evening
to
the
rest
of
the
region..
O
That's
the
kind
of
place
that
we're
building
here
together.
is
this
one
that
is
connected
much
more
robustly
that
than
it
is
today,
even
and
as
you'll
probably
recall..
We
are.
We
are
building
for
an
eightfold
increase
in
transit
ridership
at
diep
on
station
and
already
this
area
is
the
core
of
our
transit
system
within
the
downtown
and
at
tier
add
on
today..
So
I
think
a
couple
couple
of
critical
things
that
we
are
working
on
in
addition
to
the
bart
extension.,
also
with
fta
and.
O
With
the
support
of
the
downtown
plus
project,
how
we
dedicate
transit
lanes
space
along
santa
clara
street
into
the
future
plan
for
that
to
that
the
transit
that
is
already
the
highest
ridership
corridor
within
the
county
can
continue
to
be,
reliable,
can
be,
faster,
can
get
people
to
more
parts
of
the
city
and
the
region
quickly.,
and
then
I
think
the
other
piece
is
I'll
I'll
be
concise..
I
know
time
is,
is
moving
forward.,
the
other.
O
Piece
is
that
the
transportation
demand
management
proposal
that
we
see
from
the
downtown
west
project,
and
that
is
proposed
more
generally
in
the
next
item
in
the
desert
on
station
area
plan,
is
really
about
not
only
the
services
being
there,
but
also
the
usage
making.
It
really
easy
for
people
to
to
use
transit
as
their
primary
way
of
getting
around
along
with
walking
and
biking,
including
whatever
the
future
holds
for
new
mobility
as
well..
O
R
Expensive
modes,
like
light
rail,
which
I
see
this
is
this:
this
is
the
place
where
it
makes
sense
to
new
rail..
Don't
get
me
wrong.,
but
but
you
mentioned,
I
think
you
were
mentioning
rapid
bus
lanes
or
dedicated
bus
lanes
their
bikes..
I
know
a
couple
of
months
ago
we
talked
about
glide
ways
as
a
potential
solution
to
an
airport.
R
O
O
O
R
Know
no.
and
I'll
just
wrap
up
by
saying
I
appreciate
the
comments.
look
forward
to
learning
more
and
as
somebody
who
commuted
on
count
trains
for
quite
a
while.
I
agree,
I'm
just
I'm
mindful
of
that:
entire
city
interest
city
transit
from
from
some
of
our
more
residential
neighborhoods
on
the
edges
of
the
city.,
but
that's
I'm
sure,
a
conversation
for
another
day..
So
thank
you.
A
A
T
T
T
Largest
project
that
we've
seen
come
to
central
say
we
knew
that
it
would
be
fought
for
many
life
changing
and
it's
a
project.
That's
not
going
to
be
started
or
completed.
Overnight.,
it's
going
to
be
one
that's
going
to
spend
many,
many
years
and
it
won't
be
completed.
It'll
be
completed
way
after
I'm.
I'm.
T
T
T
T
T
T
T
T
Primarily
immigrant
and
latino
neighborhoods,
and
they
were
able
to
connect
well
with
the
community
and
we're
able
to
represent
those
communities
very
well
in
some
very
grateful
that
they
were
part
of
the
team
and
we're
able
to
have
those
kind
of
really
in-depth
knowledge
and
connections
to
communities
that
were.
They
were
very
concerned.
Individuals
that
were
very
fearful
of
change.,
we're
very
fearful
of
being
displaced.,
we're
very
fearful
of
being
left
out
of
this
formula..
So
I
want
to
extend
my.
T
T
T
T
T
T
D
D
Yeah.,
I
just
want
to
release
some
sentiments
that
came
to
mind
as
I
was
listening
to
all
the
comments.
There.
there's
some
words
that
I
think
that
came
to
mind
for
me
and
helped
summarize
what
we've,
what
we're
witnessing.
right.
and
some
of
those
words
are
teamwork,
hard,
work,,
collaboration,,
listening,.
D
D
I've
had,
whether
it
be
with
stakeholders
in
the
community,
google
city
staff..
So
I
wanted
to
express
that..
I
also
thought
it
was
important
to
highlight
some
comments
that
stood
out
to
me
and
they
were
made
by
sara
mcdermott
from
unite
here..
So
I
think
the
political
director
there
and
it
stood
out
to
me
because
I
think
it
was
really
to
me-
is
indicative
of
what
many
leaders
in
our
community
experienced
during
the
process,
the
process
of
know,
google
coming
to
san
jose.
D
D
D
D
It
just
made
me
think
about
just
that
I'll
just
use
the
word.
The
evolution
of
support
for
this
project
and
where
we've
come
from,
is
really
stood
out
to
me.,
and
I
think
that
that
really
transformation
from
opposition
to
support
it
really
is
a
testament
to
all
the
hard
work
by
all
stakeholders..
You
know,
I've
seen
first
hand
and
I've
heard
time
and
again
from
stakeholders
in
the
community
that
google,
the
google
team,
as
well
as
a
city
team,
truly
and
authentically
listen
to
what
the
community
was
concerned.
D
About.
and
I
for
one
and
I'm
sure
we
all
do..
But
I
really
do
appreciate
that
it
means
a
lot
to
me..
It
means
a
lot
to
the
community,
and
I
wish
that
this
would
happen
on
many,
many
more
issues
that
come
before
us
that
every
everyone
sat
around
with
an
open
heart,
open
mind
and
really
try
to
forge
a
path
path
forward.
That
really
brings.
D
J
You.,
obviously,
I
wasn't
here
for
a
lot
of
the
work.
That's
been
done.
this
project,
but
I've
always
felt
this
was
an
incredible
opportunity
to
bring
a
company
like
google
right
into
our
downtown,
to
make
our
city
even
more
able
to
live
up
to
the
moniker
capital
of
silicon
valley..
This
isn't
just
about
tech.
Jobs.
there'll
be
all
kinds
of
jobs,
including
good
union
jobs
involved
in
building
this
project
and
working
on
site.
once
it's
done
so
I'm
excited
for
for
what
this
might
will
mean
for
the
future
of
san
jose..
J
I
want
to
thank
google
for
being
such
a
great
partner
in
this
project.,
I'm
like
amazon,
who
went
around
shopping
for
cities
where
they
could
extract
concessions
in
order
to
locate
there..
Google
came
here
as
a
partner
willing
to
invest
in
making
a
community
a
better
place.,
and
that's
what
really
makes
this
project
so
special
really
is
their
willingness
to
do
that
kind
of
partner..
So
congratulations
to
nancy
and
dozens
of
city
staff
who
were
involved
in
making
this
outstanding
deal..
J
I
also
want
to
thank
nancy
and
her
office
and
everybody
involved
in
this
project
for
helping
me
as
a
new
council
member,
be
up
to
speed
on
this
project..
There
was
a
lot
of
work
done
by
you
and
your
staff
to
make
sure
that
our
office
always
understood
all
the
details
of
this
complicated
projects.
So
we
were
ready
for
this
today..
J
There
was
a
lot.
That
was
a
really
impressive
effort
on
your
part,
and
I
thank
you
for
that..
So
far
we
haven't
any
comment.
nobody's
really
commented
about
google's
commitment
to
being
carbon,
neutral
and
environmentally
responsible
and
also
excited
about
plans
for
the
utility
district
that
will
be
built
here
and
look
forward
to
seeing
what
we
learn
from
it.
and
I'm
hoping
that
we'll
look
back
on
these
parts
of
the
project
and
see
that
they've
become
a
new
normal
for
smart,
sustainable
development
in
san
jose..
J
If
I
may,
I'm
excited
about
today's
developments
to
bring
the
sharks
along
in
this
project.,
I've
long
said
that
sports
teams
across
the
country
are
dying
to
build
their
new
arenas
downtown
and
in
this
case
a
downtown
is
being
built
around
them.
they're.
Getting
it
downtown
coming
to
their
arena
without
having
to
build
a
new
arena.,
and
this
will
lead
to
a
new
vibrant
base
of
support
and
allow
for
new
ways
for
fans
to
get
to
games
and
help
them
finally
bring
a
stanley
cup
to
san
jose..
J
D
D
D
D
D
Businesses
and
large
businesses,
particularly
small
minority
businesses,
can
really
make
a
difference
in
terms
of
the
viability,
sustainability
and
growth
of
our
community
and
really
create
wealth
and
create
role
models
and
create
opportunities
for
for
our
community..
So
again,
I
want
to
challenge
google
to
be
more
aggressive
in
their
number
and
let's
see
what
we
can
do.,
but
that's
america,
and
I
hope
you
support
this
project.

you..

There's
a
lot
of
our
kids
out
there,
who
don't
know
what
they're
gonna
do
after
high
school
and
I
was
I
was
visiting
one
of
the
high
schools
and
I
think
I've
mentioned
this
before..
I
saw
a
survey
and
I
just
went
back
to
look
at
it
because
you
know,
some
of
the
things
that
they
said
was.
I
hope
I
get
a
nice
stable
job..

Q
Q
Q
Q
Some
guidance
to
our
community
advisory
committee,
which
will
ultimately
be
driving
this
this
system,
this
whole
process.,
but
I
think
we
need
to
have
some
if
it's
not
today
and
it's
ok,.
We
can
talk
about
this
later,
but
I
think
there
needs
to
be
some
some
direction
from
our
council
in
terms
of
where
we
want
to
see.
Q
And
how
we
want
to
see
these
systems
developed
and
blind,
and
I
think
we
we
are
in
the
moment
where
we
can
take
advantage
of
all
of
these
resources
and
have
a
wonderful
youth
and
adult
workforce
ecosystem
that
works
with
others.
and
so
we're
not
the
only
ones
but
we're
doing
our
part.
Right..
We're
doing
our
part
in
all
of
this,
where
it's
not
completely
our
responsibility.
But
we
give
hope
to
our
are
our
kiddos
out
there.
and
I
think
that's
the.
Q
What
really
prompts
me
and
nancy..
Thank
you
for
being
so
patient
with
me
with,
because
you've
heard
this
before..
I
don't
know
how
many
kids
and
I
know
that
you've
been
listed,
and
I
know
that
we
can
go
and
alexa
and
have
the
ad,
and
I
will
also
underline
the
comments
from
councilmember,
peralez,
carrasco
and
esparza,
that
it
brings
me
great
joy
to.

Absolutely.
there
is,
there
is
so
much
directed
work
and,
if
I
might
just
suggest
a
metaphor,
I'm
thinking
about
is
infrastructure..
We
need
to
build
the
infrastructure
that
connects
these
projects
in
a
strict
and
efforts
in
a
strategic
way..
So
absolutely
more
work
needs
to
be
done
there.
and
we
can
begin
at
it
with
the
stumbling
fight
for.
A
The
additional
pathway.-
and
I
think
I
can
say
this
since
we're
in
a
public
meeting,
but
I
had
a
similar
conversation
with
councilmember
cross,
expressed
some
of
the
same
sentiments
about
the
disconnectedness
of
many
of
our
programs..
And
I
think
this
is
absolutely
a
topic
we'll
be
taking
up
in
the
budget.,
and
I
expect
to
address
it,
and
I
expect
you,
council,
member
rents
will
be
weighing
in
on
this.,
and
so
I
think,
we'll
be
able
to
take
action
on
getting
started
in
the
next
several
weeks,

you,

I'm

who's
our
division
manager
in
the
housing
department
and
to
jutta
roustabout,
who
a
consultant
from
strategic
economics
stated
the
beginning
of
the
evening.
The
vision
of
this
redevelopment
was
to
ensure
that
it
was
is
an
equitable
development..
I
like
to
think
of
housing
as
the
heart
of
an
overall
development
plan
as
affordable
housing
is
central
in
meeting
the
needs
of
our
underserved
communities..
S
S
Affordable
housing

a
25

goal..
The
plan
before
you
is
a
strategy
document..
It
includes
ways
to
achieve
the
25
percent
production
goal
and
it
identifies
compatible
strategies
to
keep
affordable
housing
in
place
and
to
protect
lower
income
and
underserved
residents..
It
is
important
to
note
that
the
majority
of
the
21
strategies
identified
in
this
plan
need
additional
stakeholder
outreach
requires
that
the
city
council
take
further
action
in
order
to
implement
these
strategies..
So
we
have
to
come
back
to
next
line.

P
Jackie
and
good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council
and
members
of
the
public.
I'm
going
to
try
to
quickly
summarize
the
strategies
in
three
key
areas.
and
we've
color
coded
them
for
your
viewing
pleasure
to
try
to
makes
more
sense
out
of
which
ones
would
need
to
come
back
in
front
of
council.
First
on
production,
the
red
text
indicate
strategies
that
would
require
additional
stakeholder
outreach
and
council
approvals..
P
The
approvals
might
be
for
programs
or
ordinances
or
budget
authorizations..
Purple
text
indicates
that
the
council
may
have
to
approve
an
action,
and
black
indicates
that
council
approval
have
already
been
obtained,
or
the
strategies
are
more
administrative
in
nature.,
so
staff
could
go
ahead
and
start
implementation,
so.
P
P
P
Recommendation
acknowledges
that
we
do
have
to
keep
the
affordable
housing
that
we've
got
because
we
worked
hard
to
get
it
and
that's
gonna
take
some
dedicated
focus
and
resources..
The
second
item
is
the
preservation
pilot
that
jack
mentioned,
which
would
we
would
fund
the
acquisition
rehab
of
buildings
in
the
area
around
your
dog
and
turn
them
into
subsidized,
affordable,
housing..
The
goal
is
relatively
modest
because
of
the
large
number
of
small
buildings
in
this
area.
P
P
P
Preservation,
work
and
for
is
about
building
capacity
of
our
community
based
non-profits
and
identifying
technical
assistance
organizations
funding
that
can
help
with
that
work
so
that
they
can
focus
on
needs
of
their
neighborhood
better..
They
can
learn
skills
and
team
with
more
experienced
developers
to
do
this
work.,
but
all
of
that
work
and
training
and
partnering
takes
resources.
number
five
is
about.
P
Funding
sources
for
preservation..
First,
there
needs
to
be
acquisition
funding
for
preservation
properties
that
can
close
quickly..
That
may
not
be
the
meeting
to
be
offered
by
a
partner
to
the
city.,
and
so
we
might
have
to
help
identify
or
build
that
partner
capability,
and
then
we
need
to
make
our
own
funding
available,
predictably
and
regularly
so
that
long
term
affordability
can
be
achieved.
and
finally,
there
are
complementary
policies
that
could
support
preservation,
efforts..
P
P
Augmenting
an
existing
ordinance.,
of
course,
we'd
be
doing
additional
stakeholder
outreach
and
staff
analysis
and
bringing
that
back
to
council.-
so,
starting
at
the
top,
no
one's
really
about
driving
our
services
better
into
the
community
where
there
is
need.,
we
had
already
planned
on
doing
that
by
setting
up
an
eviction
help
center
to
help
residents
connect
with
resources
that
they
need
for
the
eviction
cliff.
it's
coming
for
many
of
them..
This
is
a
similar
concept
that.
P
P
Was

anti

also
part
of
our
legislative
priorities,
about
local
enforcement
of
the
state
law,
and
that's
something
that
is
that
the
city
may
want
to
consider
given
other
legislative
priorities
at
a
given
time..
So
we
might
bring
that
back
to
council.-
so
four
five
hour
strategy
is
recommended
based
on
data
in
the
neighborhood
stabilization
study
area,
around.,
so

P
State's

law.,
they
also
found
that
rented
single
family
homes
make
up
12
percent
of
the
rental
stock
in
this
neighborhood
stabilization
area,
but
they
are
not
protected
by
the
tenant
protection
ordinance
and
only
a
few
are
maybe
protected
by
a
fourteen.
Eighty
two,
if
they're
owned
by
a
real
estate,
investment,
trust
or
corporation..
So
this
data
led
the
team
to
conclude
that
expansion
of
the
tenant
protection
ordinance
should
be
considered.
and
number
five.
P
P
P
Units
are
built
in
79
or
before,
and
they
would
be
eligible
to
be
included
in
the
apartment,
rent,
ordinance
and
if
they
were,
they
would
constitute
a
third
of
all
rent
stabilized
units
in
this
area.
So
they
could
be
an
important
part
of
the
protected
housing
stock
in
this
neighborhood.
and
for
that
reason..
Now
that
we
understand
better,
that
duplexes
can
play
an
important
part
in
the
housing
stock
in
neighborhoods,.
P
And
finally,
we
recommend
exploring
whether
certificate
of
preference
program
could
apply
in
the
dirt
on
station
area,
which
is
kind
of
an
enhanced
tenant
preference
which
may
be
able
to
be
used
for
priority
and
rental
situations
or
potentially
homebuyer
programs
as
well.,
and
with
that
I'll
hand
it
back
to

as
was

I
want
to
provide
some
comments
on
what
we
heard
during
those
meetings..
Both
the
artists
and
vietnamese
workshop
participants
called
for
plenty
of
housing
at
all
levels
of
affordability
and
different
sizes
of

which
we
believe
this
plan
includes..
Also.
They
were
very
excited
about
how
it
was
based
around
the
guadalupe
river
park
and
side
to
hear
that
there's
potential
for
farmer's
markets
in
another
park
area,
that's
being
explored.

N
I
think
we've
seen
certainly
with
the
pandemic,
that
stable
housing
is
critically
important
to
the
health
and
well-being
of
our
working
families..
I
think
the
comprehensive
approach
taken
by
staff
looking
not
only
at
affordable
housing
production,
but
also,
certainly
at
our
new
policies
around
the
preservation
of
affordable
housing,
including
naturally
occurring
affordable,
housing
and
tenant
protections,
are
vitally
important..
If
we're
really
truthfully
committed
to
community
stabilization,
I
think
we
heard
a
lot
of
business
interests
praising
the
google
downtown
west
project
for
the
inclusion
of
efforts
around
community
stabilization..
N
I
think
it's
just
as
important
now
that
we
look
at
what
city
policy
levers
we
can
put
into
play
to
be
able
to
ensure
that
tenants
are
not
facing
evictions.

rises
in

I
think
the

policies

an
enormous
amount
of
sense..

Area

changed

has
worked
tirelessly,
urging
the

to
establish
specific
standards
for

downtown

insistence
to

because
the
confusion
created
over

has
not

gone
away..
So
the
dang
is
looking
forward
to
your
continued
support,
developing
the
deserted
station
area,
and
we
respectfully
ask
that
you
pass
that
the
council
passes
the
memo
from
mayor.
F
F
we're
seeking
clarification,
though,
on
the
city's
intent
relative
to
the
dirt
on
the
station
itself..
The
amended
dcf
plan
lacks
answers
as
to
how
the
historic
you're
on
the
station
itself
fits
within
its
namesake
plan..
It
is
one
of
the
most
iconic
prominent
unique
features,
let's
say..
Yet
there
is
no
statement
of
support
for
its
very
existence
going
forward..
We
are
fearful
that
we
are
kicking
the
can
down
the
road
on
this
issue
by
deferring
to
the
desk
process..
Please
take
a
look
at
the
mitigation
measures
that
were
suggested
back
in
the
2014
diep.
F
E
Mayor
and
council
members.,
I'm
alice,
kaufman
speaking
for
legislative
advocacy
director
for
green
foothills..
We
sent
you
a
letter
yesterday,
along
with
sierra
club,
the
valley,
ortbal
and
the
native
plant
society,
and
in
that
letter
we
expressed
concern
over
the
distinct
differences
between
the
standards,
guidelines
and
overall
quality
of
the
diep
as
compared
to
the
downtown
west
plant..
As
you
heard
earlier,
this
evening,
our
organizations
are
all
in
support
of
the
google
plan..
E
E
F
That
several
times,
I've
tried
to
interject
on
the
three
p's
and
add
a
fourth
p
for
placement,
because
one
of
the
things
we're
not
talking
about
is
who
are
the
people
actually
going
to
be
placed
into
these
eli,
very
low
income
and
whatever
other
affordable
housing.?
And
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
talk
about
that
and
not
just
leave
it
up
to
no
chance
or
whatever
happens.
But
that's
something
I
should
have
been
been
discussed
all
along.
And
I
hope
that.
F
Through
whatever
negotiations
or
whatever
plan
changes
are
gonna
be
made
moving
forward,
that
we
do
not
reduce
the
number
of
housing
units
available..
I
think
right
now
that
the
thousand
units
or
25
percent
of
the
4000
that
are
planned
on
being
built..
I
hope
that
that
number
does
not
get
reduced
to
some
sort
of
negotiation
with
either
apartment
associations
or
developers,
and
we
keep
to
our
promise
to
try
to
house
as
many
people
as
we
can.
thank
you.

And
council
matthew

First,
we
must
acknowledge
the
tremendous
work
that
city
staff
across
departments
have
invested
in
the
diep
sap
amendments,
more
jobs
and
then
within
the
downtown
west
project
and,
of
course,
the
affordable
housing
implementation
plan,
along
with
the
google
team,
they've
laid
the
foundation
to
realize
the
commitments
of
25
percent
affordable
across
the
station
area,
making
the
station
area
and
the
surrounding
neighborhood
accessible
to
people
of
all
incomes..
The
number
two
highest

when
this
was
a

was
preventing
displacement
and
stabilizing
communities..
D

There
is
a
whole
lot
of
work
to
do
to
live
up
to
this
commitment.
housing
department
has
laid
out
the
tools
that
they
need..
They
will
continue
to
need
your
support,
as
we've
seen
this
evening
already.
Some
of
these
are
going
to
feel
like
a
heavy
lift,
but
they
are
critical
tools
to
realize
the
commitment
you
are
being
asked
to
reaffirm
to
me.

you.

We
are
concerned
that

is
proposed

Peralez

the
potential

capacity

While

efforts
appear

Just
can't

to

we
can't

so
I
don't

F
Behalf
of
the
sierra

loma
prieta
chapter,,
I'd
like
to
second
dallas
kaufman's
comments..
We
ask
that
the
city
work
with
the
community
to
adjust
the
environmental
and
development
standards
to
include
minimum
creek,
setbacks,
building
setbacks,,
improved
lighting
and
bird
safety
safety
requirements
guidelines
and
provide
adequate
parks
and
open
space
that
are
needed
to
create
the
thriving
and
healthy
community
that
we
desire..
I.
G
G
G
G
There's
there's
always
that
opportunity,
and
I
think
we
have
some
opportunity
moving
forward
to
be,
but
to
ensure
that
we
really
maximize
the
opportunities
in
this
entire
diep
on
station
area
and
saw.
I
just
want
to
echo
again
the
thanks
from
staff
and
to
our
community
members
that
have
worked
with
us,
especially
from.
G
G

J
J
Exciting
year

plan,
developments
like
downtown

have
the
potential
to
spur
unprecedented
investment
in
our
communities,,
creating
thousands
of
units
of
affordable,
housing,,
redefining
the
landscape
of
silicon

While
we
acknowledge
and
celebrate
the
opportunities
created
by
these

many
in
our
community
are
concerned
that
they
exacerbate
the
threat
of

in
the
dividend,
station
area
and
throughout
the
city..
J
So
it's
important
that
we
make
sure
this
pattern
doesn't
continue
and
that
working
families
aren't
left
behind..
Our
city
continues
to
grow
and
develop
so
fast.
staff
memo
concerning

and
affordable

implementation
plan
makes
it
clear
that
their
recommendations
are
being
made
with
justice
in
mind,
and
I
commend
the
housing
department
for
keeping
our
most
vulnerable
communities
at
the
heart
of
this

I
was

J
S
Responsive
quickly,
given
the
impending
eviction
cliff.,
so
we
are
starting
off
with
some
sort
of
office
satellite
office
that
would
be
within
a
community
so
that
people
don't
have
come
downtown
to
city
hall,
but
really
want
to
locate
where
people
are.
but
again,.
We
know
one
office
is
not
enough
to
meet
the
night,
the
need-
and
we
have
seen
during
the
pandemic,
how
pop
ups
and
satellites
have
worked
or
mobile..
So
that's
what
we're
going
to
try.!
I
think
that's!
That's
a
great.
J
Idea.
I
appreciate
that.,
so
I
support
the
recommendations
in
this
item
and
I
hope
that
we
as
a
city
continue
to
find
innovative
and
sustainable
ways
to
preserve
affordable
housing
and
protect
working
families.
Displacement.
tomorrow,
my
office
will
be
submitting
a
budget
document
to
study,
implementing
right
to
legal
counsel
ordinance
for
residents
facing
eviction
which
could
be
another
key
tool
in
our
arsenal.
A
A
I
think
you
know
the
key
is,
you
know,
is
this:
having
the
human
beings,
who
can
actually
reach
out
in
the
right
language
to
be
able
to
help
folks
in
need,
be
able
to
navigate
the
challenges
here.,
so
I'd
certainly
support
a
virtual
office
or
a
pop
up,
or
anything
that
actually
supports
staffing
that
I
think
you
need
much
more
than
you
need
the
storefront..
So

member.
Q
Know,,
I
was
reading
the
hole
in
implementation,
plan.
it
just
we're
on
the
cutting
edge
here.,
I'm
always
proud
of
what
we're
doing
in
san
jose.,
but
specifically,
this
implementation
plan
that
doesn't
allow
or
are
affordable
housing
to
be
planned
at
the
very
end..
Sometimes
there
are
some
projects
that
happen
and.
Q
Q
C
S
C
Not
just
not
just
the
implementation
and
how
they
work,
but
whether
or
not
they
actually
do
what
they
purport
to
do,
which
is
preserve
housing,
because
all
of
my
economic
training
about
rent
control
and
the
more
restrictive
it
is
is
that
it
actually
decreases
the
quality
and
quantity
of
housing.
Supply..
So
I'd
be
very
interested
when
you
come
back
to
ensure
that
we
have
information
that
what
we're
putting
in
place
is
actually
going
to
help
the
people
that
we're
trying
to
help
get.

And
robert
garry.,
I
still
want
to
keep
pushing
the
idea
that
we
need
to
have
a
commission
or
some
sort
of
group
of
people
to
represent
in-house
decisions
are
constantly
being
made
by
this
council
and
with
little
or
no
input
from
the
un
house
community.
And
I
know
that
I
speak
here..
Scott
largent
and
a
few
others
occasionally
speak.
F
you've
put
together
a
group
to
deal
with
gangs
to
deal
with
all
kinds
of
different
things
that
are
going
on
in
the
city,,
even
just
a
sad
group.
Every
everything
that
needs
a
decision
you
want
to
get
community
input..
You
are
able
to
start
up
a
group
to
do
that
and
I
seriously
would
like
to
get
one
going
for
the
un

community.
So
please
consider
that.
thank
you,
robert..

that

over

your

window..
I
don't
know
if
you
know
sammy,
maybe
I'll,
keep
my

drawer
open,
so
they
can
peek
into
my

and
look
in
my

I
don't
know
what
you

want,
but
that's
what
you

think
is
great
is
more

enforcement..
You
also
need
to
reduce
the
taxes
on
the
utilities
that
are
all
going
up,
that
you

did

On
this
issue
to
hear
about
their
experiences

perspectives.,
I
think
we
learned
tonight
that
great
kenny
engagement
can
lead
to
really
amazing
consensus
and
results,
and
I
just
want
to
spread
a
positive
message
that
we
in
working
together
as
a
community
city
and
developers,
can
create
a
triple
win
situation
for
all
of
us..
So
thank
you
to
the

for
digging
in
in
the
weeks
ahead..
We
look
forward
to
talking
to
you

we
can

a
really
great

that
benefits
us
all..

Possible

at
