Okay,
thank
you
grace
we'll
start.

Because
it's
also
present
okay
item
3.5
is
the
amendment
to
the
agreement.
Pacific
secured
equities
for
comprehensive
workers,
comp
services.
There's
no
presentation
is
there
well,
first,
let's
go
to
the
public.
Is
there
anyone
from
the
public
would
like
to
speak
on
this.
D
Okay
motion
council
member
foley.
Second,
from
the
vice
mayor,
I
don't
I
don't

any
grace,
you

D
Okay,
thank
you.
We're
going
to
take
the
next
three
items
together,
because
they're
all
very
much
interrelated
item.
6.1
is
a
climate,
smart,
san
jose,
existing
building
electrification
framework,
we're
going
to
take
that,
along
with
item
6.2,
the
climate,
smart,
american
cities,
climate
challenge,
climate,
smart,
carbon,
neutral
san
jose
by
2030
acceleration
strategy,
and
then
next
we'll
be
we're
also
taking
at
the
same
time,
item
10.3,
which
is
the
parking
transportation,
demand
management
ordinance
and
we're
going
to
see
a
combined
presentation
for
all
three
items.
D
There's
going
to
be
one
public
comment
for
all
three
of
these
items,
because
we
think
they
are
very
closely
linked.
Everyone
will
have
two
minutes
to
comment
and
then
we
will
have
council
deliberation
after
that.
I
Thank
you,
carrie
romanow,
director
environmental
services,
we're
going
to
start
with
our
climate.
Smart
san,
jose
pathway
to
carbon
neutrality
by
2030,
then
go
into
the
building,
electrification
framework
and
then
go
into
the
transportation
item
and,
as
the
mayor
indicated,
that
at
the
start,
we
staff
really
think
these.
I
These
three
items
go
well
together
and
that
it's
a
more
robust,
complete
conversation
having
them
together,
so
that
we
can
answer
everyone's
questions
in
the
right
context.
I
So
a
little
bit
of
background
and
climate,
smart,
san
jose,
was
actually
adopted
in
2018
and
it
aligns
with
the
paris
agreement
focused
on
energy,
water
and
mobility,
and
I
think
we
talked
at
length
in
our
november
study
session
about
how
important
acting
on
climate
change
mitigation
is
at
this
point,
given
the
temperature
changes
globally
and
and
fires
etc,
and
that
our
city
decided.
I
I
So
when
we
embarked
on
crafting
this
plan-
and
we
spent
a
bit
of
time
with
our
community
on
all
of
the
climate,
smart
aspects-
and
one
thing
we
heard
from
our
community-
was
they
want
more
engagement
and
they
want
to
be
included
in
the
discussion
around
these
because
they're,
really.
The
folks
that
are
gonna
need
to
make
the
needed
adjustments.
I
And
so
with
that,
we
we've
established
a
vision
to
help
guide
our
work
in
carbon
neutrality
and
the
the
vision
was
amended
by
the
transportation
and
environment
committee.
But
our
mission,
our
vision,
is
very
important
to
us,
and
our
vision
of
moving
towards
climate
neutrality
by
2030
is
that
san
jose
will
become
a
better,
stronger
and
more
resilient
community
by
accelerating
accelerating
climate
action
and
making
achieving
achieving
carbon
neutrality
by
2030
and
and
the
reason
that
vision
is
important
to
us.
I
I
The
focus
areas
are
not
unexpected.
They
are
the
same,
focused
areas
that
we
see
in
climate,
smart,
san
jose
as
the
original
plan
was,
but
they
are
we
we
need
to
do
fewer
moves
much
more
quickly
and
and
that
will
help
us
impact
the
85
percent
of
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
that
come
from
transportation
buildings
and
our
power
source.
We've
already
made
great
progress
with
san
jose
clean
energy.
I
We've
made
great
progress
banning
natural
gas
in
new
buildings,
and
the
transportation
department
has
already
led
significant
mobility
change
and
expansion
of
electric
vehicles,
but
certainly
certainly
more
work
to
do.
But,
as
we
look
at
how
we're
going
to
do
this
work,
we
think
this
framework
is
important
to
acknowledge
that
we
need
to
get
outside
money
to
get
this
done.
We
need
significant
influx
of
funds
to
help
our
residents
make
these
changes,
but
we
want
to
make
the
changes
when
they
make
financial
sense
when
they
make
environmental
sense.
I
Not
do
them
just
to
do
them
and
we
don't
pretend
to
have
all
the
answers
today.
But
what
we're
bringing
forward
is
a
a
plan
that,
with
your
approval,
allows
us
to
go,
have
more
in-depth
conversations
with
our
community
and
allows
us
to
refine
some
of
the
details
so
that
it
meets
the
needs
and
desires
of
our
community
and
assures
them
that
by
taking
climate
action,
we
will
live
up
to
our
goal
of
achieving
the
good
life
2.0.
I
Where,
for
our
actions,
we
are
all
better
off,
as
is
the
environment,
and
that
they're
not
just
going
to
be
getting
a
a
bill
from
the
city
for
work
that
they
don't
feel.
That
needs
to
be
done.
So
lots
more
outreach
to
in
partnership
to
to
do
in
that
work.
But
the
city
departments
have
all
worked
together
to
create
a
road
map
that
we
think
makes
real
sense
and
we
think
is
achievable.
I
J
You
carrie
so
from
the
three
focus
areas
that
kerry
mentioned.
We
have
identified
the
four
acceleration
strategies
that
will
put
us
on
the
pathway
to
carbon
neutrality.
Those
are
within
transportation
to
move
to
zero
emission
vehicles,
reducing
the
miles
we
travel
in
our
vehicles
by
at
least
20
percent
and
in
buildings.
Switching
our
appliances
from
fossil
fuel
to
electric
on
the
power
source
side
powering
our
community
with
100
carbon,
neutral
electricity,
and,
as
kerry
mentioned,
these
strategies
are
already
within
climate
smart.
J
K
K
First
is
moving
to
an
electric
vehicle
fleet,
a
significant
portion
of
missions
that
are
coming
out
of
the
city
and
are
from
transportation
or
from
vehicles,
and
to
get
us
towards
the
goal
of
zero
emissions
by
2030.
We
need
to
move
our
fleet
to
a
90
electric
fleet.
That's
in
total.
K
This
is
a
very
big
lift
and
we
are
looking
at
all
the
different
avenues
to
take
this
on.
Our
research
shows
that
we
need
to
be
focusing
this
on
passenger
vehicles
as
well
as
trucks
and
commercial
vehicles.
They
account
for
the
largest
percentage
by
far
of
those
emissions
and
have
the
most
avenues
of
change
for
us
to
take
on
some
of
the
pieces
that
we
want
to
take
on
are
increases
in
av
charging
city-wide.
We
currently
have
about
1800
charge
spots
within
the
city.
K
There
is
funding
out
there
for
already
allocated
funding
for
about
10
000
more
as
of
last
year.
So
that's
a
pretty
big
number
that
we're
excited
to
see,
but
we
need
7
500
per
year
to
catch
up
with
what
we
think
we
need
to
get
this
done
and
yeah.
D
F
K
Need
to
do
a
lot
of
awareness
and
other
projects
to
kind
of
get
this
going.
Thank
you
next
one.
While
electric
electrifying
the
fleet
is
going
to
be
the
most
significant
impact
over
the
shorter
term
of
from
now
to
2030.,
we
cannot
forget
the
a
larger
goal
of
reducing
vmt
vehicles
or
vehicles.
They
take
up
a
lot
of
space
and
we
will
not
be
able
to
convert
the
entire
fleet
over
to
electric.
So
we
do
need
to
continue
to
reduce
the
vehicle
miles,
traveled
that
we're
doing
that.
K
We
need
to
yeah
strategies
that
work
on
that
and
what's
very
interesting
about
vmt
reduction
is
that
it
happens
kind
of
later
in
the
process
right.
We
need
to
take
really
big
moves
and
those
take
effect
over
time,
and
so
we
need
to
kind
of
calculate
that
that
time
element
so
we're.
K
We
are
proposing
to
continue
on
the
same
vmt
reduction
goals
that
have
been
proposed
in
the
past
and,
as
many
of
you
have
heard
us
talk
many
times,
the
kinds
of
supporting
actions
we
need
to
take
are
the
transportation
mode
shift
projects
like
bike
plan
like
pedestrianization
of
more
places
like
improvements
to
transit
and,
like
we'll
be
hearing
right
after
this
item
dealing
with
our
parking
issues,
that'll
pass
it
back
to
julie.
J
J
There
are
a
lot
of
existing
programs
and
incentives
that
can
support
building
energy
efficiency
and
electrification,
but
will
need
further
assistance
for
our
low-income
communities.
We
should
also
keep
in
mind
that
rooftop,
solar
and
the
replacement
of
appliances
at
the
end
of
life
can
significantly
improve
the
economics
of
home
electrification.
J
J
Maintaining
maintaining
san
jose
clean
energy's
current
customer
base
and
seeking
to
bring
more
direct
access
or
industrial
customers
to
their
service
can
support
san
jose's
carbon
neutral
by
2030
goal.
It'll
also
be
important
to
monitor
customer
enrollment
and
green
value
to
evaluate
its
impact
on
carbon
neutrality
goals,
as
it
provides
a
lower
cost
option
also
with
lower
carbon
neutral
power
content.
J
And,
of
course,
it's
really
important
that
we
are
leading
by
example
in
our
own
operations,
while
municipal
operations
are
only
a
minor
contributor
to
the
community-wide
greenhouse
gas
emissions
they're
under
the
city's
direct
control.
Our
municipal
greenhouse
gas
inventories
tell
us
that
we
should
focus
on
employee
commutes
and
building
emissions
within
the
building
sector.
The
airport
is
in
a
significant
portion
of
emissions
and
of
that
portion.
Nearly
all
of
the
airport's
natural
gas
emissions
come
from
its
central
utility
plant
usage.
J
The
city's
buildings
are
able
to
move
to
100
renewable
electricity
quickly,
as
well
through
san
jose's
service
option,
which
offers
100
renewable
power
supporting
actions
around
the
city's
municipal
operations.
Missions
includes
further
work
towards
all
electric
existing
buildings,
addressing
our
employee
commutes
and
that
city
fleet,
and
also
moving
to
carbon
neutral
electricity.
J
J
On
the
vmt
side,
the
vmt
reduction
by
20
means
2
reduction
per
year,
which
ramsay's
mentioned
is
in
line
with
some
of
our
current
goals
and
some
of
the
pre-covered
bmt
reductions
we've
seen,
but
it's
still
a
big
lift,
as
we
know
that
vmt
reductions
in
particular
take
time
and
funding
to
to
to
do.
The
related
infrastructure
upgrades
that
are
needed.
J
Achieving
100
carbon
neutral
power
is
means
approximately
650
megawatts
of
renewables,
300
megawatts
of
accompanying
storage
and
200
megawatts
of
hybrid
or
green
gas.
If
we
were
to
achieve
100
of
existing
building
electrification,
that
would
mean
upgrading,
13
or
43
000
of
our
existing
buildings
per
year
and
9.7
million
square
feet
of
commercial
space.
J
But
we
do
have
quite
a
few
supporting
resources
here,
there's
quite
a
few
programs
that
are
already
out
there
and
incentives
that
we
can
take
advantage
of.
We
can
build
more
public
and
private
partnerships,
there's
also
significant
federal
and
state
funding
to
initiate
and
scale
our
programs
and
san
jose
clean
energy
anticipates
funding
programs
starting
in
fiscal
year.
24-25.
I
I
We
next
year
intend
to
update
climate,
smart,
san
jose,
and
it's
important
that
you
know
the
carbon
neutral
pathway
is
not
the
only
thing
we'll
be
doing.
We
still
have
work
on
natural
working
lands
that
will
continue
to
expand
and
invest
in
in
partnership
with
osa
and
others.
So
we're
not
not
doing
anything
else,
and
we
mentioned
that.
You
know
this
this,
these
initial
three
target
areas
get
it
get
us
85
of
the
way
there.
I
I
We
need
to
continue
our
our
interest
in
investment
and
then
we'll
continue
to
track
and
report
and
and
as
I
think,
we've
all
mentioned
several
times-
secure
funding,
so
that
this
is
something
that
that
is
achievable,
both
funding
for
job
development
and
and
investment,
as
well
as
contractor
training
and
and
again
some
incentives
to
help
our
help.
Our
community
take
on
these
needed
transitions
when
it
makes
sense,
and
so
with
that
we'll
go
to
the
next
topic.
Yep.
I
So
we'll
skim
over
the
the
background
as
it
pertains
to
climate
smart,
san
jose,
so
you
know
we
we
did
adopt
all
electric
requirements
for
new
buildings.
We
adopted
our
aspirational
goal
of
carbon
neutrality
and
we
started
our
community
framework
and
then
and
then
we
had
some
input
from
the
community
that
they'd
like
a
little
bit
more.
So
we
did,
we
did
additional
community
meetings.
We
also
really
changed
how
we're
positioning
this
particular
topic.
I
It's
not
a
plan,
it's
a
framework
about
how
we're
going
to
create
a
plan
and
how
we're
going
to
get
this
done.
We
don't
have
all
the
answers
right
now.
We
also
believe
there'll
be
significant
technology
changes
over
the
years
and
that
the
economics
will
make
a
lot
more
sense
as
as
the
market
changes.
I
We
also
know
that
external
agencies
are
requiring
more
more
electricity,
more
all
electric
infrastructure
and
and
vehicles
as
well,
and
so
so
this
is
a
framework
again
that
requires
more
more
discussion
around
how
it
gets
implemented
and
when
and
by
who.
But
we
know
what
needs
to
be
done.
It's
a
matter
of
what
makes
sense
when
and
and
while
that
may
not
sound
like
an
important
component.
I
Those
are
the
tricky
details
that
help
us
actually
do
it,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
our
community
doesn't
think
that
again
that
we're
just
going
down
a
path
without
them.
Our
intent
is
to
to
do
so
in
partnership
and
make
sure
that
the
financial
components
make
sense
for
everyone
in
the
community,
not
just
for
some.
J
Some
of
the
benefits
of
building
elec
building
electrification
are
the
co-benefits
of
building.
Electrification,
include
improved
indoor
air
quality
through
the
elimination
of
harmful
pollutants
emitted
from
natural
gas
appliances,
as
well
as
decreased
operating
costs
due
to
the
increased
energy
efficiency
of
electric
appliances
and
heat
pumps,
in
particular,
as
well
as
ability
to
increase
home
energy
control
and
reliability
through
smart
controls
and
ability
to
use
on-site,
solar
and
battery
backup.
J
There's
quite
a
bit
of
momentum
already
happening
around
building
electrification,
and
these
are
just
some
of
the
things
that
we
wanted
to
point
out
in
terms
of
regional
state
and
federal
planning
and
action.
That
makes
it
clear
we
are
rapidly
accelerating
to
transition
towards
all
electric
new
and
existing
buildings
across
california
and
even
across
the
united
states,
the
bay
area,
air
quality
management
districts,
draft
regulations
to
phase
out
the
sale
of
natural
gas
space
and
water
heaters,
starting
in
2027.
That's
proposed
regulations
that
they
have
out
right
now.
J
The
2022
california
building
code,
strongly
incentivizes,
all
electric
new
construction
and
and
each
cycle
becomes
increasingly
so
there's
a
significant
state.
There's
significant
state
and
federal
funding
allocation
supporting
building
decarbonization
by
supporting
building
electrification.
The
city
can
help
to
prepare
our
residents
and
businesses
for
this
electrification
future.
J
J
The
cost
is
estimated
to
between
2500
to
22
000
to
fully
electrify
a
home,
that's
not
including
any
incentives
or
operational
cost
savings
and
that's
depending
on
the
extent
of
the
upgrade
choosing
electric
appliances
instead
of
gas.
Alternatives,
however,
is
an
estimated
cost
between
14
to
17
percent,
less
than
if
you
chose
the
gas
version
of
those
a
panel
upgrade
if
needed,
would
cost
approximately
forty
three
hundred
dollars.
J
F
Okay,
great
so
tonight
before
you
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
be
talking
about
parking
and
transportation
to
management
in
san
jose.
Over
the
last
three
years,
we've
been
re-looking
at
our
how
we
address
parking
in
san
jose.
This
is
the
first
time
that
we
comprehensively
have
done
this,
since
the
the
modern
code
was
enacted
on
parking
in
1965..
F
This
is
a
joint
effort
between
planning
and
dots.
So,
in
addition
to
myself,
my
co-presenter
will
be
wilson.
Tam
from
the
department
of
transportation,
ramses,
madu,
also
from
transportation
and
then
recently
promoted,
division
manager,
martina
davis
from
planning,
is
also
joining
us
this
evening.
What
you're
going
to
be
hearing
about
tonight
is
not
something
for
your
approval.
What
we're
seeking
is
your
direction
on
our
proposed
approach.
F
Policy
direction
on
parking
and
transportation
demand
management,
and
then
we
would
bring
based
on
council
direction,
we'll
bring
an
actual
ordinance
back
to
council
in
the
fall.
It's
consideration.
F
So
why
are
we
doing
this
so
as
you're
well
aware
and
as
part
of
the
package?
Today,
we
have
a
goal
of
becoming
a
climate
neutral
by
2030..
We
also
are.
We
also
are
a
desire
that
the
desire
is
to
further
implement
our
general
plan,
and
this
is
actually
an
action
item
in
the
general
plan
to
explore
eliminating
parking
in
san
jose
parking
requirements.
Excuse
me
not
parking
and
then
again
we
have
the
climate
smart,
san
jose
plan,
which
we're
also
trying
to
aggressively
drive
that
to
our
climate
goals.
F
F
So
I
should
also
mention
that
the
work
tonight
is
part
of
a
larger
effort
that
dot
is
leading
to
look
at
transportation
and
how
it
furthers
our
environmental,
economic
and
equity
goals,
and
that
includes
the
move
san
jose
plan.
All
of
these
will
be
coming
to
you.
This
fall:
the
move,
san
jose
plan,
a
transit,
first
policy,
an
update
to
the
vmt
policy
or
a
transportation
analysis
policy.
F
F
So
a
little
bit
on
the
timeline,
so
we
started
this
work
back
in
january
2020
there
was
a
city,
a
planning
commission
study
session,
as
well
as
the
city
council
study
session
and
the
council's
already
enacted
some
policies,
ordinances
and
and
policies
in
this
regard
to
parking
and
tdm,
most
noticed
noticeably
in
a
dear
don
station
area,
as
well
as
the
berryessa
bart
urban
village
plan,
which
is
approved
in
june
of
2021..
F
F
So
I
just
want
to
note:
we've
had
I've
done
extensive
community
outreach
from
a
variety
of
stakeholders
and
in
total
we
have
100,
318,
discreet
san
jose
and
who
have
weighed
in
on
on
the
issue
of
of
parking
parking
is
often
a
very
hot
topic.
So
we're
not
surprised.
We
got
a
lot
of
interest.
We
did
two
study
sessions,
17
focus
groups,
nine
webinars
and
workshops
and
three
developer
round
tables.
The
outreach
is
started
initially
in
person,
but
quickly
moved
to
online,
given
the
pandemic.
F
So
I
think,
as
the
council
is
well
aware,
the
code
that
we
have
today
going
back
to
1965
requires
that
a
given
use
provide
a
specified
level
of
parking,
and
it's
really
planning
for
parking
at
these.
These.
These
really
peak
moments
in
time
that
that
such
as
the
black
friday
after
thanksgiving
when
the
spaces
are
going
to
be
very,
very
utilized,
but
for
most
of
the
year
and
for
many
uses
all
of
the
year,
the
parking
is
not
fully
utilized.
So
what's
resulted
is
a
lot
of
oversupply
of
parking
in
san
jose.
F
You
know
one
you're
assuming
that
everybo,
that
everybody's
driving
from
point
a
to
to
get
to
point
b
and
the
result
of
all
of
these
policy
decisions
made
since
the
end
of
the
second
world
war
is
that
we've
created
cities
that
are
built
around
cars
rather
than
people.
I
think
this
picture
sums
up
how
much
of
this
portion
of
san
jose
is
built
for
the
car.
F
F
So
studies
show
that
abundance
or
oversupply
of
parking
encourages
people
to
drive,
even
when
there
are
options
to
walking
riding
transit
and
biking.
So
the
easier
you
make
it
to
drive
by
providing
parking
people
are
going
to
dry.
They
often
do
it
unconsciously,
even
when
they
have
other
viable
choices.
F
What's
really
important
about
that
or
what's
what
that
really
leads
to
is
the
impact
of
upon
our
climate
and
our
contribution
to
greenhouse
gases.
So
I
think,
as
noted
before,
51
of
the
city's
ghg
emissions
come
from
transportation.
So
this
is
a
really
critical
puzzle
to
tackle
the
other
issue
with
parking.
Is
that
it
it?
It
can
create
business
and
flexibility.
So
the
world
we
live
in
has
really
been
changing
even
before
the
pandemic,
and
the
pandemic
has
accelerated
that
people
are
using
ride.
Hailing
shopping
online
working
from
home
people
are
prioritizing
things.
F
So
again,
the
idea
behind
this
is
really
to
provide
more
flexibility
for
businesses,
so
they
can
occupy
spaces
that
have
the
parking
that
meets
their
needs
without
having
to
not
be
able
to
occupy
space
or
provide
parking
that
they
don't
need.
So
the
other
sort
of
issue
with
oversupply
of
parking
really
is
related
to
land
use
and
ecology.
F
So
I
think
parking
is
clearly
not
an
appealing
place.
You
know,
they're,
not
really
the
places
that
most
people
would
want
to
be
they're
very
great
for
parking
cars.
As
a
professor
of
mine
in
uc
berkeley,
when
I
was
in
grad
silk
school
said
you
know,
places
with
an
abundance
of
parking
are
typically
not
the
places
that
I
would
really
like
to
be
they're,
not
great
vibrant
places.
F
So
when
we
plan
for
a
lot
of
parking,
we
require
a
lot
of
parking.
We
create
an
abundance
of
parking
again,
it
creates
environments
that
furthers
the
cycle
of
driving
and
discourages
walking
and
biking.
You
can
see
an
example
right
here.
What
an
environment
looks
like
where
you
put
a
lot
of
parking
in
where
the
buildings
are
set
back.
The
parking
is
in
front
and
even
if
you
could
walk
or
bike
as
you
live
close
by
or
you
could
take,
transit
does
not
look
like
an
appealing
environment
to
do
those
things.
F
So
another
thing
to
really
to
note
is
that
parking
takes
up
a
lot
of
space
so
for
every
square
foot,
for
example
a
restaurant.
You
need
8.3
square
feet
of
dining
area,
and
you
can
see
along
this
graph
here
that
that
other
than
apartments,
the
amount
of
space
for
parking
exceeds
the
actual
primary
use.
F
And
I
just
know
that
space
that
we
could
use
for
other
things
more
housing
for
amenities,
more
employment,
open
space
whatever.
So
the
other
issue
is
that
oversupply
requiring
an
oversupply
of
parking
can
affect,
afford
a
housing,
affordability.
F
So
parking
is
really
expensive
to
build.
It
varies
from
thirty
four
thousand
dollars
for
a
surface
space
to
upwards
of
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
for
an
underground
space.
That's
a
lot
of
money
and
parking
is
actually
not
free,
so
the
cost,
even
though
they
are
seam
free.
They
someone
has
to
pay
for
them
and
they
show
up.
It
does
show
up
in
our
lives,
so
it
results
in
higher
rents
both
for
retail
housing
and
office
space.
F
F
F
So
there's
we
have
the
proposal
tonight
that
we
want
your
direction
on.
The
staff
recommendation
is
to
move
forward
with
eliminating
parking
requirements
citywide.
This
is
really
the
simplest
approach.
It
provides
the
most
business
flexibility
and
we
believe
it
will
further
more
further
our
environmental
goals
than
some
of
the
alternatives,
but
we
do
have
some
alternatives
for
the
council
to
consider.
F
This
really,
I
understand,
sounds
like
a
bold
move
for
many,
but
I
just
want
to
make
it
very
clear
that
we
are
not
on
the
cutting
edge
here.
Actually,
there's
a
number
of
communities
throughout
the
united
states
actually
throughout
north
america
that
either
have
completely
eliminated
parking
requirements
or
have
eliminated
them
in
certain
portions
of
the
city,
such
as
in
their
urban
villages
or
main
streets
or
transit-oriented
areas
or
their
downtowns.
G
Thank
you
michael
good
evening,
council
and
public
members.
This
is
wilson
tam
transportation,
transportation,
planning
manager
at
the
department
of
transportation.
G
As
michael
presented,
we
have
reached
out
to
more
than
1
300
public
members
to
talk
about
this
policy,
and
one
of
the
major
feedback
that
we
have
gotten
is
that
people
find
it
very
hard
to
not
consider
to
drive,
and
the
primary
factor
of
that
is
because
there's
no
viable
way
to
get
around,
especially
to
destinations
that
are
within
walking
and
biking
distances,
destinations
that
are
near
transit
routes
and
in
destinations
such
as
major
transportation
or
major
trans
major
destinations,
such
as
universities,
shopping,
centers
and
other
major
destinations
that
people
can
consider
to
co-put
together
to
so
that's
where
the
tdn
come
into
play.
G
So
so
we
wonder
like
we
do
have
tdm
requirements
in
the
city
today,
and
so
we
ask
ourselves:
why
would
people
think
that
there
is
no
viable
way
to
get
around
when
we
already
have
tdm
policies
in
place
today?
So
we
take
a
step
back
and
look
at
our
existing
processes
wondering
what
we
have.
G
What
is
our
existing
tdm
process
looking
like,
so
this
is
the
three-step
process
just
to
summarize
how
tdm
works
today,
according
to
today's
policy,
so
today,
tdm
requirements
are
triggered
by
various
policy
requirements,
and
you
know,
one
of
which
is
actually
that,
like
tdm,
is
tied
to
the
parking
minimum.
So
whenever
a
development
decides
to
reduce
the
parking
below
the
minimum,
they
would
be
required
to
provide
additional
tdm
requirements
to
offset
that
parking
reduction.
G
Other
requirements
include
the
sequa
reviews.
We
have
a
transportation
impacts
under
sql,
as
well
as
the
air
quality
impacts
under
sql.
That
would
also
trigger
the
needs
to
provide
tdm
requirements
and
normally
what
it
works
today
is
that
whenever
an
impacts
are
identified
during
the
development
reviews,
the
city
staff
would
provide
some
guidance
as
to
how
to
address
those
impacts.
However,
the
metrics
today
for
these
policy
requirements
are
pretty
vague.
G
It's
not
very
clear
and
it's
very
complicated,
and
so
one
of
the
feedback
that
we
have
gotten
from
the
development
roundtables
is
that,
like
there's
so
many
different
requirements,
whether
it's
for
sql
transportation
or
sql,
air
quality
or
parking
minimum,
and
there's
no
guidance
as
to
how
to
define
how
to
mitigate
these
impacts
and
therefore
it
requires
a
lengthy
process,
some
of
which
may
require
a
transportation
consultant
to
be
on
the
table
just
to
explain
how
it
works
according
to
the
city's
policy,
and
it
adds
time
it
s
budget
and
it
adds
cost
to
the
developer,
to
the
development
and
therefore
you
know
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it
may
require
some
negotiation
with
city
staff,
which
eventually
may
not
result
in
the
tdm
measures
being
implemented
effectively
to
the
future
tenants
of
the
new
buildings
and
therefore
you
know
people
don't
feel
that
they
have
viable
options
to
travel
around
and,
unfortunately,
traffic
and
parking
demands
go
up
and
it
creates
the
chicken
and
the
egg
problem
that
people
don't
feel
enjoyable
and
safe,
doing
the
other
transportation
options.
G
And
so
so
it
you
know,
so
so
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
us
to
think
about
how
we
can
modify
this
tdm
policy.
So
how
would
the
proposed
tdm
work?
So,
after
going
through
the
lengthy
community
engagement
and
engaging
with
the
development
roundtables,
we
come
up
with
three
major
ways
of
modifying
the
tdm
requirements.
First
is
to
decouple
the
tdm
requirements
from
parking
reduction
and
require
tdm
for
all
larger
projects,
as
well
as
consolidating
the
requirements
with
sqa.
So
basically,
we
have
all
various
policy
triggers.
G
We
would
create
a
clear
approach
to
standardizing
tdm
plans,
so
that
developers
may
not
need
to
hire
a
transportation
consultant
to
to
really
like
go
through
that
lengthy
analysis
and
figuring
out
what
are
the
appropriate
tdm
requirements
and,
last
but
not
least,
is
to
streamline
the
process
with
the
standard
manual
of
tdm
options
and
a
preset
tdm
point
target
that
can
create
predict
predictable
outcomes.
G
This
is
very
something
that
other
peer
cities
have
done,
such
as
san
francisco,
sunnyvale
and
also
other
cities
in
the
country
have
started
moving
towards
this
kind
of
like
point-based
system,
to
providing
more
predictable
outcomes
for
development,
and
this
is
a
a
good
synopsis
of
like
what
would
be
our
standardized
menu
of
options
look
like,
and
there
are
four
categories
and
based
on
research.
G
We
found
that
there
are
30
measures
under
these
four
categories
would
be
very
effective
in
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
bmt
and
improving
the
transportation
options
for
the
new
tenants
of
the
new
buildings
and
not
trying
to
go
through
all
the
measures
here,
but
you
can
see
that,
like
a
land
use
is
actually
one
of
the
very
important
categories
here
we
include
a
measure
about
how
to
incentivize
more
affordable
housing
above
and
beyond
the
inclusionary
housing
owners
requirement.
G
G
So
what
does
that
mean
in
terms
of
the
development?
So
we
have
two
scenarios
presented
to
you
right
now,
so,
first,
what?
If
a
development
chooses
to
build
less
parking,
and
that
means
they
would
there
would
be
more
space
to
build
other
things
and
the
developers
would
receive
more
tdm
points,
because
parking
is
one
of
the
tdm
measures
in
the
manual
to
choose,
and
so
resulting
that
would
result
in
fewer
remaining
point
requirements
for
the
tdm.
G
G
With
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
michael
to
go
through
some
of
the
common
questions
that
we
have
received
from
the
study
session.
That
happened
last
august,
as
well
as
the
other
community
engagement
that
we
have
done
so
far.
F
D
F
So
how
are
these
changes
affect
small
business?
So
again
I
covered
this
already,
but
it
would
give
businesses
more
options
to
move
into
different
types
of
existing
buildings.
We've
seen
cases
can.
F
Sure
sorry,
so,
we've
seen
cases
where
businesses
industrial
uses,
restaurants
and
things
like
that
cannot
move
into
existing
buildings,
because
the
the
site
does
not
have
enough
existing
parking
so
provide
more
flexibility,
also
for
developing
on
a
smaller
lot,
and
I
should
note
that
the
small
projects
were
proposing
to
be
exempt
from
the
tdm
requirement
so
that
this
would
not
apply
to
smaller
businesses
or
projects.
F
So
what
we,
what
we're
anticipating,
is
that
again,
so
just
a
reminder
that
developers
are
financed
and
and
there's
a
there
and
the
the
money
that
finances
the
project
are
going.
What
we
find
is
that
requires
that
they
rebuild
build
enough
parking
to
meet
the
demand
of
the
intended
user.
So
we're
not
anticipating
that
developers
are
not
going
to
build
parking.
I
think
it's
really
about
right
right
sizing,
the
parking
for
a
given
location.
F
We've
heard
a
lot
about
the
overcrowding.
A
lot
of
the
overcrowding
that
we've
seen
is
in
buildings
that
were
built
apartments
built
in
the
50s
and
60s,
and
this
really
is
an
existing
condition
and
some
extent
it
has
to
do
with
the
housing
crisis,
the
unaffordability
of
for
people
finding
places
to
live
so
there
are.
I
think
this
is
something
we
do
need
to
continue
to
dig
into.
I
think
there
there
are
approaches
that
we
can
use
moving
forward.
F
I
think
just
just
to
note
the
as
the
rpp,
the
residential
permit
parking
could
be
a
tool.
I
know
that's
in
one
of
the
memos
that
came
out
today
under
council.
Remember
mayhem.
I
think
the
other
thing
we
want
to
note
is
that
the
tdms
that
are
proposed
to
be
included
would
provide
new
options
for
people
in
these
neighborhoods
and
new
enhancements,
so
they
could
potentially
get
around
better
on
other
other
modes
besides
driving,
and
these
measures
would
incentivize
people
in
some
of
these
neighborhoods
too
to
get
around
in
that
way.
F
As
equity
could
be
considered
as
part
of
the
process,
so
as
part
of
this,
the
outreach
and
engagement
process
over
the
last
two
years,
we
partnered
with
regulation
engaged
with
under
served
neighborhoods.
We
held
focus
groups
and
we
heard
from
them
and
got
a
recommendation.
F
We
also
partnered
with
with
luna
latin
latinos
united
for
a
new
america
to
meet
with
communities
to
identify
tdm
measures
that
would
provide
their
community
in
in
that
from
their
perspective
on
the
most
benefit,
and
those
are
measures
that
we
plan
to
carry
forward
and
with
council
direction,
we
would
be
proposed
to
include
in
the
menu
of
options
for
developers.
F
F
That
being
said,
we
understand
that
cost
of
development
is
is
a
significant
issue
for
all
types
of
development.
Our
intent
is
not
to
make
projects
in
infeasible,
so
working
with
the
cost
of
development
survey
that
the
office
of
economic
development
is
doing.
We
intend
to
right-size
the
tdm
requirements
relative
to
the
projects
to
ensure
that
the
benefits
that
we
seek
to
meet
our
climate
and
other
goals
are
met,
while
still
ensuring
that
that
they
do
not
impact
the
feasibility
of
the
project
and
do
not
add
significantly
to
the
cost.
So
that's
work.
That's
forthcoming.
F
So
we
did
meet,
we
did
hold
a
planning
commission
where
the
planning
commission
gave
us
feedback
or
gave
the
council
feedback
on
on
its
perspective
on
our
staff
proposal.
So
I
would
say
overall,
the
planning
commission
was
generally
supportive
of
what
we're
proposing
some
of
the
things
we
did
here,
however,
was
recommended
additional
outreach
to
lower
income
communities
prior
to
coming
back
to
council
in
the
fall
just
to
note
that
we
need
to
continue
to
make
improvements
for
bikehead
and
and
related
to
transit.
That's
a
real
issue.
F
I
know
the
city
is
working
on
that
or
dot
on
vision,
zero.
There
was
really
a
concerns
expressed
about
impacts
to
those
that
have
no
choice
but
to
drive.
There
was
some
strong.
There
was
strong
support
for
a
city-wide
adoption,
but
there
was
also
some
voices
that
were
recommended
more
incremental
approach.
F
There
was
a
few
commissioners
that
really
preferred
or
expressed
the
desire
not
to
applaud,
eliminate
parking
in
single-family
neighborhoods.
F
So
I
just
want
to
kind
of
wrap
up
all
of
these
things
and
the
city
has
made
a
real,
a
strong
commitment
to
combat
climate
change.
We
have
a
goal
of
becoming
carbon
neutral
by
2030.
This
parking
and
tdm
is
a
significant
piece
of
that.
It's
not
the
only
piece,
but
it
is.
We
see
it
as
a
significant
piece
of
reaching
that
goal,
and
we
really
just
want
to
know
we
can't
continue
the
status
quo
in
the
transportation
sector
like
we
have
been
over
the
last
70
80
years.
F

Hi
mayor
licardo,
council
members,
thank
you
for
your
time.
My
name
is
robbie
abenor
and
I'm
a
transportation
strategist
with
the
natural
resources
defense
council,
I'm
here
to
speak
in
strong
support
of
these
three
items,
which
will
speed
up
the
city's
action
on
climate
and
tackle
the
two
biggest
causes
of
climate
change,
inducing
pollution,
buildings
and
transportation.
M
San
jose
has
declared
a
climate
emergency
and
set
the
ambitious
and
laudable
goal
of
carbon
neutrality
by
2030..
Now
is
the
time
to
act,
and
the
carbon
neutral
acceleration
framework
is
the
next
step
to
meet
that
goal
with
just
eight
years
to
go.
There's
no
time
to
waste
to
pass
fund
and
implement
it
item.
10.3
presents
a
proven
way
to
reduce
traffic
and
pollution.
M
Finally,
the
electrify
san
jose
framework
will
help
people
move
to
clean
electricity
in
a
way
that
is
thoughtful
and
supportive
for
residents,
especially
folks
in
historically
underserved
neighborhoods.
Today,
amid
a
drought
a
hot
summer
and
an
early
fire
season,
you
have
the
opportunity
to
tackle
climate
change
with
proven
solutions.

Mothers

is
a
national
movement
of
mothers
and

who
are
mobilizing
to
preserve
a
livable
climate
for
all
children.
We
have
over
thirty
five
thousand
supporters
nationwide
more
than
two
thousand
of
whom
live
in
santa
clara

We
are
extremely
concerned
about
what
our
children's
future
will
look
like
this
year.
Our
team
has
been
collecting
these
postcards
signed
by
local
residents
most
from
san

who
are
also
concerned
about
our
climate
future
and
who
support
the
existing

electrification
framework.

The

reads:
dear

Good
evening
my
name
is
glenn
garfunkel,
I'm
with
san
jose
community
energy
advocates
concerning
electrification,
even
without
mandates.
There's
a
great
deal.
The
city
can
and
should
do,
to
facilitate
a
shift
away
from
fossil
fuels
and
toward
electrification,
workforce
development
and
contractor
training
for
heat
pump
installations
is
urgently
needed,
as
is
reliable,
home
and
energy.
Retrofit
guidance
and
informational
resources
for
the
community.
M
Several
percent
of
existing
heating
and
hot
water
systems
are
replaced
every
year
due
to
aging.
This
is
low
hanging
fruit
that
can
be
harvested
without
mandates
by
coordinating
the
needed
services.
The
framework
can
greatly
facilitate
electrification
of
this
and
other
portions
of
existing
buildings.
Climate
change
is
real.
The
consequences
are
very
serious.
Local
government
and
individuals
need
to
do
the
right
thing.
The
issue
is,
unlike
any
other,
that
local
government
faces.
M
Responsible
officials
and
citizens
cannot
ignore
this,
and
we
cannot
wait
for
federal
policy
to
catch
up.
The
proposed
framework
is
a
modest
effort
to
get
the
ball
rolling
in
the
right
direction,
though
the
cost
can
vary
case
to
case
to
quibble
in
those
cases
that
are
that
have
only
small
budgetary
impact
in
the
near
term.
Is
to
miss
the
significance
of
the
threat
we
face
in
the
much
higher
cost
long
long
term,
long-term
cost
of
inaction
with
relatively
small
sacrifice.
The
city
can
make
significant
inroads
to
reducing
its
carbon
footprint.

Hello,
council
members,
mayor
licardo,
my
name
is
linda
hutchins-knowles
and
I'm
a
resident
of
san
jose.
I
serve
as
a
senior
manager
for
acterra's
karl
knapp
go
ev
program,
I'm
also
the
mother
of
two
teams
and
the
co-founder
of
mothers
out
front
silicon
valley
with
all
of
these
hats.
I'm
here
today
to
urge
you
to
please
approve
items.
6.1,
6.2
and
10.3.
N
N
Since
these
two
sectors
together
are
responsible
for
more
than
half
of
our
ghg
emissions.
It's
vital
that
the
city
take
a
proactive
role
in
educating
and
supporting
residents
and
businesses
to
replace
their
old
gas
appliances
with
clean
electric
alternatives
in
order
to
accelerate
the
adoption
of
electric
vehicles
and
make
them
accessible
to
all
residents.
It
will
be
essential
for
san
jose
to
update
our
reach
code
ordinance
to
ensure
that
ev
ready
charging
is
available
for
every
new
resident
of
an
apartment
or
condo
or
every
resident
of
a
new
apartment
or
condo.
N
In
the
meantime,
moving
to
reduce
or
limit
parking
minimums
will
encourage
residents
to
mode
shift
from
reliance
on
old
cars
and
gas-powered
cars
to
other
modes
of
clean
transportation.
With
my
mother's
out
front
hat,
I
want
to
direct
your
attention
to
the
audience
where
all
these
posters
are.
We
had
a
lot
of
folks
here
earlier
today.
We
didn't
know
how
long
this
item
would.
Last.
N
My
daughter
drew
this
one
and
we
just
want
to
show
you
that
a
lot
of
stu
a
lot
of
his
kids
and
a
lot
of
parents
are
very
energized
and
encouraged
with
what
staff
has
proposed
today.
We
hope
you
will
support
it.
We
really
want
you
to
seize
the
opportunity
to
actually
achieve
carbon
neutrality
by
2020
2030,
and
this
means
prioritizing
greenhouse
gas
emission
reductions
in
every
policy
and
program.
N
N
Instead,
the
city
should
require
these
facilities
to
use
other
forms
of
secure
backup
power
such
as
solder,
solar
with
battery
storage
or
diesel
generators,
if
only
used
during
power
shutdown
emissions-
oh
wow,
okay,
so
please
sunset
that
exemption
and
support
these
policies.
Our
children
are
counting
on
you.
Thank
you.
C
Hello
greetings.
Council
members.
My
name
is
crystal
hernandez.
Excuse
me:
I'm
a
san
antonio
county
resident,
a
mom
of
two,
an
environmental
studies
major
and
a
volunteer
for
altera.
I
support
your
efforts
to
create
a
comprehensive
plan
to
tackle
climate
change.
As
part
of
that
plan,
I
urge
you
to
include
all
electric
existing
buildings
and
ev
infrastructure
reach
codes.
I
grew
up
in
a
low-income
community
in
daly
city
and
later
in
san
francisco,
with
gas
appliances
and
low
health
standards.
So
I
understand
firsthand
the
health
and
well-being
impacts
of
the
inequitable
living
situations.
C
C
During
emergencies,
it
takes
longer
to
get
power
back
on
to
gas
homes
as
opposed
to
electric
homes
and,
most
importantly,
as
the
price
of
renewable
energy
continues
to
drop,
fossil
fuels
will
become
more
expensive,
so
it's
so
important
to
make
sure
all
homes
are
covered.
Under
this
plan,
providing
equal
access
to
ev
charging
is
key
to
ensuring
ev
adoption.
C
Currently,
the
vast
majority
of
ev
drivers
live
in
single
family
housing
and
enjoy
access
to
convenient,
reliable
and
cheap
storaging
at
home.
So
with
forty
percent
of
residents
in
the
city
being
renters,
the
lack
of
access
to
charging
becomes
a
major
barrier
to
accessing
the
ev
market,
even
as
the
upfront
costs
of
evs
are
now
getting
on
par
with
gasoline
parts.
O
O
We
truly
appreciate
the
work
done
by
city
staff
to
engage
the
community,
evaluate
options
and
propose
strong
actions
to
address
the
impacts
of
mandatory
parking
in
san
jose.
The
item
before
you
today
has
the
potential
to
address
long-standing
policy
issues
related
to
parking
minimum
requirements
that
curtail
san
jose's
goal,
to
make
housing
more
affordable,
build
density
and
support
public
transit
and
advance
the
city
as
an
environmental
leader.
O
The
fact
is
that
parking
mandates
force
builders
to
construct
costly
garages
before
putting
up
apartments.
This
requirement
is
especially
burdensome
in
dense
neighborhoods,
where
underground
garages
can
cost
over
75
thousand
dollars
of
space
almost
any
everywhere.
However,
it
results
in
fewer
and
more
expensive
housing
compounding
our
affordability
crisis.
O
Parking
requirements
also
push
destinations
apart,
creating
neighborhoods
built
around
driving,
which
increases
congestion,
emissions
and
air
pollution.
These
same
neighborhoods,
discourage,
walking
and
transit
use
parking
requirements,
explain
why
we
have
so
many
strip
malls
and
service
lots,
so
few
walkable
streets
and
so
little
transit
ridership.
Despite
our
massive
transit
investments.
O
We
believe
that
the
recommendations
put
forth
by
city
staff
today
take
a
much
needed
step
to
ensure
that
parking
policy
aligns
with
what
most
people
want,
which
is
more
and
cheaper
housing,
less
driving
and
traffic
congestion
and
walkable
neighborhoods
with
good
mass
transit
and,
more
and
importantly,
revisions
of
transportation
demand
management
requirements
and
enforcement,
like
unbundling
parking
will
go
far
to
equitably
and
sustainably
meet
the
mobility
needs
of
san
jose
residents.
Thank
you
for
your
time
as
you
consider
this
critical
next
step.
C
O
Hello,
mayor
and
council,
thank
you
for
discussing
this
issue.
I
work
as
an
intern
at
uptera,
a
bay
area
non-profit,
and
I
hope
your
council
will
pass
both
the
existing
buildings,
electrification
framework
and
the
acceleration
strategy.
So
we
can
put
san
jose
firmly
on
a
path
to
achieve
the
carbon
neutrality
by
2030
goal
and
ensure
a
sustainable
future.
O
Climate
change
has
harmed
all
aspects
of
life,
including
health,
poverty,
demography,
inequity
and
even
global
conflict,
and
I
really
don't
want
to
see
this
crisis
get
worse
than
it
already
has.
California's
terrifying,
wildfires
and
yearly
droughts
are
not
sustainable,
not
for
myself
or
my
family
or
my
community.
O
I
want
to
be
able
to
focus
on
my
goals
without
these
constant
safety
threats.
My
friends
and
I
are
worried
more
and
more
each
day
about
the
climate
crisis.
So
we
need
to
do
everything
we
can
to
adapt
our
living
situations
and
ensure
ourselves
a
safe
future.
There's
no
time
to
wait
and
the
electrify
san
jose
framework
and
2030
roadmap
will
help
us
reduce
these
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
I'd
love
to
see
more
of
san
jose
becoming
electrified
and
decarbonized,
and
you
can
encourage
that
through
this
framework,
I'd
feel
safer.
O
Knowing
that
electric
appliances
don't
emit
carbon
monoxide
and
buildings
I
go
into
and
I'm
glad
you're
addressing
electric
vehicles,
because
our
fossil
fuel
powered
vehicles
majorly
contribute
to
the
climate
crisis.
I'm
glad
san
jose
already
has
such
ambitious
goals,
and
I
encourage
the
council
to
keep
considering
ways
to
increase
the
use
of
clean
energy.
O
C
N
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
oh
great,
thank
you!
Apologies,
I'm
roma
dawson.
I
live
in
district,
one
on
a
very
busy
street,
I'm
adjacent
to
a
large
number
of
apartments,
most
of
which
are
rent
controlled.
I
live
next
to
anderson
school,
which
has
students
in
the
something
like
over
80
percent
that
qualify
for
free
lunches
parking
is
a
challenge
I
face
literally
every
day
of
my
life,
my
husband
and
I
plan
trips
around
when
austria
parking
is
going
to
become
available.
N
It
was
an
easy
decision
I
reached,
but
quite
frankly
I
don't
know
how
I
could
live
with
myself
if
I
did
otherwise,
we
all
have
to
do
what
everything
we
can
to
save
the
planet,
and
I
thank
this
mayor
and
council
and
city
staff.
You
make
me
proud
to
live
in
san
jose
for
the
work
you're
doing
to
save
the
planet
and,
of
course,
the
data
on
affordable
housing
is
irrefutable.

Hello,
can
you
guys
hear
me?
Yes,
hello?
My
name
is
karen
rosenberg
from
greenbelt
alliance.
San
jose
has
ambitious
climate
and
housing
goals
that
cannot
be
met
without
addressing
parking
minimums.
I
would
like
to
urge
you
to
support
the
staff
recommendation
to
prepare
a
parking
reform
ordinance
that
removes
mandatory
minimum
parking
limits,
updates
the
city's
tdm
requirements
and
develops
a
program
for
ongoing
monitoring
and
compliance
in
pillar
2
of
climate.
E
Smart
san
jose,
which
you
approved,
are
policies
and
actions
to
reduce
one
thousand
three
hundred
and
nineteen
thousand
tons
of
carbon
per
year
and
vmt
per
capita
per
day
reduced
by
seventy
fifty
seven
percent
by
twenty
fifty.
This
cannot
happen
without
significant
changes
to
parking
minimums.
Additionally,
staff
has
identified
approximately
80
general
plan
policies
that
remove
that
removal
of
mandatory
parking,
minimums
and
expansion
of
the
tdm
program
would
advance.
I
know
many
of
you
are
concerned
about
overcrowding.
I
want
to
emphasize
that
this
policy
does
not
advocate
to
get
rid
of
existing
parking.
E
Furthermore,
let's
face
it,
san
jose's
minimum
parking
regulations
haven't
succeeded
in
preventing
overcrowded,
curb
parking
in
many
san
jose
neighborhoods,
like
in
east
san
jose.
This
policy
has
a
chance
to
build
more
affordable
housing
to
address
both
the
climate
and
housing
crises,
and
I
urge
you
to
adopt
staff
recommendations,
not
an
alternative.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration.
E
P
Growing
up
with
asthma,
I
became
accustomed
to
wearing
a
mask
to
school
long
before
coven
even
existed
due
to
the
thick
smoke
we've
seen
nearly
every
year
in
the
dry
season
from
nearby
forest
fires,
I've
heard
constant
talk
on
the
radios
and
tv
about
how
much
things
need
to
change,
and
I
felt
an
overwhelming
desire
for
my
community
and
my
peers
to
do
better.
Thus,
I
think
the
effort
to
decrease
gas
emissions
from
houses
currently
around
20
percent
of
emissions
in
san
jose
through
more
incentives
and
awareness
as
the
framework
supports,
is
much
needed.
P
Given
the
access
and
these
impacts
are
not
insignificant
because,
like
was
said,
electrification
can
reduce
emissions
in
homes
by
up
to
90
in
coming
years,
and
similarly,
electrification
solves
for
the
long-term
problems
of
high
gas
prices,
because,
while
the
cost
of
electric
appliances
is
projected
to
continue
declining,
the
cost
of
maintaining
current
u.s
aging
gas
infrastructure
is
increasing
each
year
for
cleaner
air,
more
affordable
home
costs
and
better
future
for
our
area
and
the
globe.
I
urge
this
council
to
move
forward
to
this
better
future
by
voting
yesterday
on
the
electrification
framework.
C
Q
Good
evening,
mayor
ricardo
and
council
members,
my
name
is
emily
schwing,
I'm
the
public
affairs
director
for
revolution
and
part
of
the
cc
48
collective
I'd
like
to
share
some
thoughts
about
the
electrification
acceleration
proposal,
which,
as
others
have
mentioned,
is
just
one
part
of
a
larger,
long-term
community
climate
resilience
strategy.
By
now,
we
are
all
or
should
be
familiar
with
the
term
redlining.
Q
Those
of
us
living
and
working
in
east
san
jose
certainly
are.
I
would
like
to
share
the
term
green
lightning,
as
well
as
a
recommendation
from
a
powerful
community
organization
founded
in
1993
and
based
in
oakland,
that
shares
the
same
name.
Organizations,
including
green
lining,
have
studied
the
challenges
and
opportunities
that
build
electrification
presents
for
low
income
communities,
seventy
percent
of
whom
are
renters
caught
up
in
a
housing
and
emerging
energy,
affordable
crisis
and
said,
and
to
set
some
context.
Green-Lining
efforts
began
in
the
1980s,
and
I
quote
from
their
website.
Q
Meanwhile,
the
cost
of
safely
maintaining
california's
gas
system
is
set
to
escalate
dramatically
in
coming
years
as
increasing
infrastructure
costs
and
safety
upgrades,
combined
with
the
decline
in
demand
as
the
state
transitions
away
from
fossil
fuels
to
hit
its
climate
targets.
Veggie,
lucian
and
assistant
body
collective
are
committed
to
supporting
electrification
initiatives
and
the
community
outreach
that
is
required
to
support
this
shift
to
clean
energy
and
reducing
barriers
to
adoption,
whether
in
a
home,
a
small
business
or
a
restaurant
setting.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
C
Q
Yes,
good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members
and
staff
between
11
executive
director
with
friends
of
caltrain,
I
wanted
to
really
commend
the
city
of
san
jose
for
bringing
forward
this
proposal
to
right-size
parking
and,
along
with
that,
to
strengthen
transportation,
demand
management,
to
really
rebalance
the
incentives
for
people
and
the
opportunities
for
people
to
use
sustainable
transportation
and
a
more
shift
towards
the
sustainable
transportation
and
less
toward
the
driving
where
people
have
opportunities.
Q
I
think
it's
good
to
see
that
the
transportation
demand
management
policy
is
slated
to
continue
to
evolve
over
time,
given
that
there
are
transportation
improvements
like
you
know,
bringing
bart
to
san
jose,
as
well
as
a
policy
improvement
such
as
an
all
agency
transit
paths,
so
that
it
which
is
getting
piloted
starting
this
summer,
and
if
that
has
a
broader
rollout,
we'll
have
the
opportunity
to
give
people
much
greater
public
transportation,
mobility
and
so
we'll
really
encourage
the
city
to
move
forward
with
the
ending
the
parking
minimums
and
strengthening
the
transportation
demand
management.
M
Okay,
just
wanted
to
say
quickly
that
the
reduction
of
parking
does
not
necessarily
translate
into
pollution
reduction
if
parking
is
allocated
for
electric
vehicles.
So
I'm
not
sure
that
these
proposals
are
taken
into
consideration,
the
future
mandates
we
have
of
electrification
of
all
personal
vehicles
and,
if
that's
the
future,
I
think
buildings
should
be
designed
for.
C
N
My
name
is
harillo,
I
am
a
long
time
san
jose
resident
and
I
am
a
volunteer
with
a
silicon
valley
bike
coalition
and
I
am
calling
to
voice
my
strong
support
for
the
climate,
smart
census
initiatives
and
particularly
the
removal
of
a
minimum
parking
requirement.
N
So
when
I
moved
to
sanchez
first
back
in
2007,
I
was
renting
a
little
cute
apartment
in
the
around
japantown
area,
but
I
was
taken
aback
by
the
high
cost,
which
I
had
to
pay
for
my
rent.
N
Not
only
that
I
was
also
sponsoring
my
neighbors,
who
had
more
than
one
car
and
the
same
thing.
I
was
sponsoring
all
these
extra
parking
lots
and
the
high
number
of
homeless
people
as
well,
who
often
cannot
afford
housing.
Because
of
this
consideration.
N
N
Did
not
do
the
same
thing
and
they
continued
using
a
free
parking
on
the
street.
So
from
from
this
is
my
rent.
Now
I
ended
up
sponsoring
them
from
my
taxpayer
money,
and
I
was
basically
instead
of
going
my
taxpayer
money
going
to
the
parking
to
the
bike
lanes.
They
were
going
to
sponsoring
my
neighbors
driving
more
and
effectively
contributing
to
the
pollution.
N
So
in
conclusion,
I
would
like
to
support
elimination
of
a
minimum
sparking
requirement
and
thank
you
attention.
C
L
Hi
blair
beekman
here
thanks
for
there's
a
lot
of
public
speakers
tonight
on
this
item.
It's
nice!
Thank
you.
You
know
I.
I
hope
that
we're
knowing
that
we
want
to
you,
know
these
sort
of
issues.
You
know
bicycle
and
pedestrian
planning
and
long-term
social
planning.
With
these
sort
of
ideas,
we've
been
doing
all
this
stuff
for
a
number
of
years
and
we
have
not
had
to
be
considering
natural
disaster
preparedness.
We
haven't
been
having
to
consider
you
know
man-made
preparedness
disaster
issues
like
covid
or
911.
L
We've
been
just
trucking
along
just
doing
really
important,
good
work,
and
I
just
I
hope
that
can
be
a
hopeful
reminder
in
what
this
work
is
about.
We
don't
need
to
create
shock
doctrine,
practices
with
this
work.
I
mean
this
is
really
fun:
enjoyable,
sustainable,
good
work
and
it's
nice
we're
all
doing
our
efforts
right
now.
I
think
we
have
some
really
difficult
questions
about
the
future.
What
exactly
is
our
carbon
free
and
carbon
neutral
society?
Does
that
mean
nuclear?
L
Or
does
that
mean
you
know
we
work
with
ideas
of
renewables
that
will
take
on
the
ideas
of
some
use
of
fossil
fuel.
I
mean
that's,
those
are
difficult
questions
we
have
to
really
ask.
I
hope
we
can
be
open
to
the
future
of
that
debate
at
this
time.
It's
important.
L
We,
I
think
we
make
these
things
aware
to
each
other
and
to
conclude
that
the
idea
of
for
all
the
electric
grid
needs
we're
gonna,
have
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
mineral
use
involved
and
for
as
important
as
working
towards
our
carbon
free
future.
We
have
to
really
be
considering
the
worker
rights
issues
of
the
people
who
mine
these
minerals
that
will
be
feeding
our
electric
storage
future.
These
things
need
to
work
hand
in
hand
as
we
build
this
electric
creature.
L
D
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
members
of
our
community
for
taking
the
time
to
to
advocate.
I
know
we've
got
several
more
to
go
and
appears
the
list,
isn't
shortening
any
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
our
ability
to
hang
onto
a
quorum,
because
we've
lost
a
couple
council
members
already
because
of
various
issues.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
at
7
30
we're
going
to
go
to
one
minute,
just
to
make
sure
that
we
can
hang
on
to
our
council,
so
we
can
get
to
a
vote.
C
Brian
I'm
gonna
give
up
give
my
one
minute.
Thank
you
mayor
everybody.
I
when
I
first
saw
this,
I
was
so
angry
and
I
went
into
my
typical
brian.
C
Now
and
I'm
actually
sort
of
ashamed
of
myself
now,
because
I
was
totally
against
this
until
after
this,
the
report.
S
And
you
all
make
a
lot
of
sense,
so
I
encourage
you
to
step
forward
with.
A
C
Gwen,
yes,
hello,
good
evening,
house
members
and
the
mayor,
and
thank
you
to
the
staff
for
the
awesome
presentations,
I'm
glenn
azar,
I
just
graduated
from
cupertino
high
school.
I'm
also
here
representing
silicon
valley's
climate
action
as
a
young
person
who
has
no
choice
but
to
think
of
the
future
is
very
current
and
pressing.
I
just
want
to
join
the
abundance
of
others
in
this
call
in
my
strong
support
for
these
frameworks.
C
Action
that
really
our
area
and
the
world
needs.
If
we
want
to
even
hope
to
prevent
the
most
catastrophic
consequences
of
climate
change,
what
will
be
far
more
expensive
than
long
one
run
is
inaction,
so
I
commend
the
city
for
taking
leadership
on
climate
action.
This
area
action
like
this
really
gives
me
hope,
though,
there's
always
need
for
more
robust
and
aggressive
change.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
L
L
K
L
Reduced
my
solid
waste
is
trashed
down
just
to
a
quart
a
week.
Bicycling
is
super,
efficient,
saves
money,
increases
health
and,
since
you
need
to
get
exercise
anyway,
that
is
free
energy
for
you
getting
wherever
you
need
to
go
every
time
you
push
a
fossil-fueled
gas
pedal.
You
are
essentially
crushing
the
skull
of
some
poor
kid
under
your
foot.
L
C
S
Hi,
my
name
is
michael
hazelton.
I
live
in
downtown
san
jose
and
I'm
here
to
just
kind
of
urge
you
to
support
the
staff
recommendations
to
you
know:
reform
the
mandatory
minimum
parking
limits
to
remove
those
and
to
update
the
transportation
demand
requirements
as
they
kind
of
outlined.
S
One
of
the
things
I
just
want
to
mention
real
fast.
Is
I
really
like
the
area
of
downtown
where
first
street
is?
It's
got
the
you
know
historic
buildings
and
the
hakaranda
trees
and
the
light
rail
and
everything
I
think
a
lot
of
people
like
areas
like
this
and
under
the
current
policies.
S
Developing
such
a
place
is
pretty
much
illegal,
and
so
you
know,
if
we
kind
of
implement
these
updates,
we'll
allow
small
developers
to
come
in
and
kind
of
replicate
the
areas
of
san
jose
they're
sort
of
the
nicest,
in
my
opinion,
so
anyways
yeah.
Just
please
make
the
right
call
thanks.

Hello
public
comment
time:
okay,
hi,
my
name
is
prager
natarajan
and
I'm
a
rising
senior
at
criptina,
high
school
who's,
also
a
resident
of
san
jose,
and
I'm
here
with
the
san
jose
used
climate
action
team.
We
all
know
that
climate
change
is
and
why
it's
bad.
However,
it
takes
personal
experience
to
truly
understand
the
impact
of
climate
change.
I
had
breathing
problems
when
I
was
younger
and
need
an
inhaler,
but
for
a
while,
eventually
grew
out
of
it.
However,
as
the
years
have
gotten
hotter,
it's
gotten
harder
and
harder
to
breathe
outside.
C
O
Hello,
my
name
is
chloe
kwon,
I'm
18
years
old
and
I'm
a
part
of
silicon
valley,
youth,
climate
action.
I'm
here
today
to
express
my
strong
support
for
items
6.1,
6.2
and
10.3.
O
Last
year
you,
the
city
council,
passed
a
radical
and
necessary
resolution
to
be
carbon
neutral
by
2030..
These
items
are
critical
to
following,
through
with
that
promise
and
creating
concrete
actionable
plans
to
achieve
our
goals.
As
a
young
student,
I
want
to
remind
you
that
we
are
becoming
increasingly
disillusioned
with
those
in
power
who
are
failing
to
enforce
strong
climate
action.
I
urge
you
to
follow
through
where
many
larger
scale
leaders
are
stopping
short.
O
C
C
The
cootherwood
neighborhood
association
is
asking
the
city
council
to
oppose
any
changes
to
the
city's
minimum
parking
standards
on
december
14
21,
the
council
removed
all
objective
standards
for
affordable
housing
in
approved
and
unapproved
urban
villages
and
mixed-use
commercial
land
as
small
as
1.5
acres.
The
subject.
Excuse
me.
The
objective
now
is
to
eliminate
the
standards
in
single-family
neighborhoods
to
increase
density,
congestion
and
discomfort
for
a
lifestyle
that
no
longer
fits
the
agenda
of
the
city,
administration
and
staff.
C
E
Good
evening,
mayor
licardo
and
council
members,
my
name
is
ali
saberman
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
housing
action
coalition
and
as
a
san
jose
president
to
speak
in
strong
support
of
the
staff
recommendation
to
prepare
a
parking
reform,
ordinance
that
removes
mandatory
minimum
parking
limits,
updates
the
city's
tdm
requirements
and
develops
a
program
for
ongoing
monitoring
and
compliance
across
our
state.
More
than
97
percent
of
cities
and
counties
have
been
unable
to
produce
affordable
housing.
E
Thank
you
to
the
council
and
city
staff
for
your
tireless
efforts
to
ensure
positive
and
sustainable
climate
and
housing
outcomes
for
our
communities.
Please
support
the
staff's
preferred
recommendation
to
eliminate
parking
minimums
minimum
city-wide.
Thank
you
so
much
giovanni
hi.
Thank
you
mayor
and
council,
the
name
electrify
san
jose
doesn't
sound
safe.
The
electrification
plan
makes
the
electrical
grid
hotter
and
more
vulnerable
to
blackouts.
It
makes
the
electricity
bill
higher,
making
it
harder
to
pay
the
bills
and
save
money
for
the
middle
to
low-income
people,
including
my
black
and
brown
communities.
E
It
takes
work
away
from
our
local
piping
trade
workers,
including
union
workers
that
would
normally
be
involved
with
new
construction.
This
plan
prevents
them
from
this
work
when
five
or
more
people
have
to
live
together
to
afford
the
rent,
it
makes
them
more
vulnerable
to
a
blackout
when
they
all
use
the
electricity
after
a
long
day
at
work.
The
carbon
neutral
san
jose
by
2030
acceleration
strategy,
I
think,
is.
I
think
this
plan
is
unfair
to
the
middle
to
lower
income
people
all
of
the
damage
done
to
the
planet.
E
Oh,
my
gosh,
I'm
just
gonna
skip
ahead
to
you
know
it
makes
it
harder
for
disabled
people
and
handicapped
people
to
park.
That's
all
I

Thank
you.

Tonight,
on
my
own
personal
behalf,
I'm
here
to
urge
you
to
support
the
to
stats,
resistance,
parking
policies
and
pdm
measures.
We
heard
a
lot
about
parking
tonight
and,
what's
really
important
to
me,
are
the
pdm
measures,
because
I
grew
up
as
the
son
of
an
immigrant
mom
and
when
we
were
in
the
united
states
when
we
first
arrived,
we
couldn't
afford
a
car,
but
you
know
what
was
the
lifeline
for
our
economic
development
as
a
family,
paying
a
quarter
to
be
able
to
access
the
bus
every
weekend.
L
L
C
C
C
L
And
good
evening
my
name
is
zachary
meyer,
I'm
a
college
student
a
summer
intern
at
menlespark
and
to
steal
a
phrase
from
sarah
ray.
I
am
also
a
member
of
the
climate
generation,
a
generation
of
young
people
who
have
grown
up
knowing
nothing
but
a
world
with
the
existential
threat
of
climate
change.
I've
grown
up,
passionate
with
a
desire
to
make
an
impact.
L
C
Q
Hello,
sir
mayor
and
city
staff
and
city
council,
my
name
is
alex
valencias.
I
am
the
south
bay
organizing
manager
for
umb
action,
I'm
not
really
sure,
there's
much
more
to
say,
given
the
outpouring
of
support
for
the
staff
recommendations
for
changes
to
parking
minimums,
it's
clear
that
there
is
a
wide
coalition
that
really
see
this
as
an
equity
climate
and,
from
my
perspective,
a
housing
concern.
I
urge
you
to
go
forward
with
what
the
city
staff
is
recommending.
Q
I
also
think
it's
a
very
forward-thinking
policy
that
will
also
help
the
city
in
addressing
its
housing
element
needs
later
down
the
line
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
really
looking
to
house
human
beings
rather
than
a
car,
and
this
policy
really
helps
put
groups
over
heads.
So
thank
you
very
much.

Hi
council,
my
name
is
simon
de
silva.
I
am
a
high
school
student
from
palo
alto
and
the
leader
of
youth
environmental
groups
across
the
south
bay.
I
would
like
to
express
my
support
for
item
6.1
6.2
and
10.3
as
a
young
environmentalist.
The
existing
building
electrification
framework
speaks
straight
to
my
priorities:
environmental
justice
emissions
reductions
and
community
approved
movement.
Seeing
a
city
of
such
scale
as
san
jose,
engaging
in
equitable
electrification
sets
great
precedent
for
other
cities
across
the
bay
and
otherwise
to
follow
an
equity-based
approach
to
electrification.
L
In
the
framework
several
cities
are
cited
in
their
use
of
bps's,
messers,
etc.
I
see
the
possibility
for
san
jose's
name
to
appear
on
the
dockets
of
other
cities
frameworks
as
they
aspire
to
take.
Such
strong
consideration
for
equity
in
their
climate
climate
plans
understand
that
a
vote
in
the
interest
of
aggressive
climate
policy,
a
vote
in
the
interest
of
increased
living,
increasing
living
standards
for
historically
disenfranchised
communities
and
a
vote
in
the
interest
of
building.
C
C
Why
I
am
I
am
why
intro
with
mothers
out
front?
Please
vote
yes
on
item
6.1,
6.2
and
10.3,
it's
expensive
for
a
restaurant
owner
to
replace
the
gas
stove
with
an
electric
one,
but
it's
even
more
expensive
to
replace
the
restaurant
that
is
burned
to
the
ground
like
the
over
56
100
businesses
and
residents
in
santa
rosa.
Where
I
used
to
live,
the
cost
of
fossil
gas
will
only
rise
as
fracked
gas,
offshore
and
arctic
grilling
rise
in
expense.
C
C
P
E
E
E
That
makes
much
more
sense,
because,
just
today,
pg
e
sent
an
email
saying
that
they
set
their
goal
to
be
carbon
neutral
by
2040
and
removing
more
greenhouse
gases
than
they
met
by
2050..
So
why
should
san
jose
have
earlier
goals
than
pg
e?
I
live
in
an
area
where
pg
e
is
very
unreliable.
We
have
extended
power,
outages
almost
one
or
two
times
a
month
or
public
safety
shutdowns,
and
it's
ridiculous.
They
don't
have
the
infrastructure.
E
Hello,
this
is
laura
feinstein,
I'm
with
spur
good
evening
to
the
council
members
and
mayor
le
licardo,
I'm
here
in
support
of
items
6.1
and
6.2.
I'd
like
to
keep
this
really
short.
I
think
that
all
the
other
speakers
have
really
covered
everything.
That's
essential.
These
are
measures
are
important
for
climate
change,
they're
key
to
addressing
air
pollution
in
the
bay
area,
and
they
address
many
of
the
real
problems
that
need
to
be
understood
and
overcome
around
equity.
E
So
with
that
spur
urges
you
to
advance
these
plans
to
both
clean
the
air
and
fight
climate
change.
By
voting,
yes
on
6.1
and
6.2.
C
M
We
see
this
as
a
common
sense
response
to
a
whole
range
of
challenges
that
we're
facing.
Obviously,
the
costs
of
constructing
housing
are
tremendous
challenges
for
the
city.
Parking
is
a
tremendous
part
of
that
challenge
and
allowing
this
flexibility
will
be
super
important
going
forward.
We
also
believe
that
this
policy
will
create
the
flexibility
that
will
allow
developers
and
communities
to
be
responsive
to
changes
to
adopt
more
sustainable
and
resilient
options
for
the
future,
and
we
appreciate
your
time.
Thank
you.

Hi,
my
name
is
isabella.
I
live
in
d6
and
I'm
from
icann
one
of
the
co-creation
partners
for
building
electrification.
I
know
community
members
have
questions
about
the
feasibility,
so
I
just
want
to
share
that.
Similar
initiatives
have
been
adopted
across
the
country.
For
example,
denver
city
council
passed
last
november,
a
building
decarbonization
policy,
making
it
the
eighth
u.s
jurisdiction
to
do
so.
O
So
many
san
jose
saiyans
might
find
building
electrification
overwhelming,
but
denver
just
shows
that
these
efforts
are
not
unprecedented
and
again,
this
framework
is
just
a
starting
point.
We
know
that
further
steps
are
needed
to
ensure
smooth
electrification,
but
the
community
should
know
that
the
framework
will
seek
more
input
and
will
provide
more
support.
So,
overall,
I
urge
the
city
of
san
jose
to
adopt
the
framework
as
a
critical
approach
to
eliminating
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
Thank
you.
O
C
O
Evening,
mayor
licardo
and
council
members,
my
name
is
diane
bailey,
I'm
with
a
community
climate
action
group
called
menlo
spark,
as
well
as
the
campaign
for
fossil
free
buildings.
In
silicon
valley.
We
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
and
stakeholder
outreach
that
has
gone
into
these
climate
policies.
Our
coalition
enthusiastically
supports
the
proposed
existing
building
electrification
framework,
the
road
map
to
carbon
neutral
by
2030
and
the
parking
and
transportation
policies.
Please
approve
agenda
items,
6.1,
6.2
and
10.3.
O
We
need
bold
actions
to
help
transition
off
of
polluting
fossil
fuels
if
we
want
to
have
any
hope
of
achieving
a
stable
climate
in
the
future
and
averting
the
worst
impacts.
Climate
change
is
not
a
distant
problem,
we're
already
feeling
the
impacts,
and
we
need
to
consider
the
extreme
cost
of
inaction
on
climate,
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
and
I'm
out
of
time.
So
I
thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
I
hope
you'll
approve
all
three
items.
C
Yes,
hi.
Thank
you.
My
name
is
stephanie
morris.
I
am
a
lifelong
resident
of
silicon
valley
and
san
jose
and
I
wanted
to
also
voice
my
support
for
item
6.1
item
6.2
and
item
10.3.
I
appreciate
the
effort.
That's
gone
into
the
community
based
organizations,
coordination
with
this
existing
building
electrification
framework.
I
think
that
climate
is
the
driving
force
behind
this
plan,
but.
C
These
items
also
are
something
that
today's
children
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
vote
for,
but
they
will
inherit
the
consequences
of
these
decisions,
so
they
are
incredibly
important
and
I
appreciate
the
time
and
energy
that's
gone
into
making
these
important
decisions.
Please
vote
yes
on
all
these
measures.
Thank
you.
So
much
enrique.
S
Hello,
can
you
hear
me
okay,
hi
good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council?
My
name
is
enrique
navarro
with
the
santa
clara
county
association
of
realtors.
We
took
special
interest
in
96.1
for
the
existing
building
electrification
issue
and
we
just
wanted
to
share
the
the
concern
that
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
our
membership
had
and
some
of
the
electricians
that
we
consulted
with.
S
We
did
a
study
similar
we're
working
on
a
study
right
now,
but
we
did
one
in
san
mateo
county
regarding
the
full
cost
of
mandating
home
electrification
and
it's
not
simply
the
cost
of
switching
out
an
appliance.
It's
also
services
and
structural
changes.
You
need
to
make
to
a
house
in
order
to
accommodate
electrified
appliances
so
from
low
end
to
high
end.
It
can
go
anywhere
between
130
to
upwards
of
300
000
to
make
all
these
to
make
all
these
changes
to
a
home
to
to
meet
these
the
framework.
S
So
please
consider
this
as
you.

E
My
name
is
jared
johnson,
air,
resident
and
senior
manager
of
policy
and
external
relations
at
octara.
I
urge
the
council
to
pass
the
existing
buildings
electrification
framework
and
adopt
the
climate
smart
carpenter
trial
to
go
by
2030.
Last
summer,
louisiana
louisiana
had
the
strongest
hurricane
to
ever
hit
in
the
state's
history.
Middle
tennessee
homes
were
flooded
overnight
by
a
daily
use
of
water,
only
to
be
described
as
catastrophic.
E
There
were
so
many
heat
waves
in
the
pacific,
northwest,
sending
temperatures
into
triple
digits,
killing
folks
unnecessarily
and
lastly,
the
town
of
greenville
burned
to
the
ground.
Thousands
of
californians
were
forced
to
evacuate,
including
some
of
my
closest
friends.
So
what
is
it
going
to
take
this
summer?
How
bad
do
the
catastrophes
have
to
get
for
us
to
commit
to
stop
emitting
greenhouse
gases?
So
I
urge
this
council
to
take
the
strong
and
full
step
to
pass
this
electrification
framework.
L
L
Considering
our
city's
population
of
over
1
million
people,
these
emissions
are
a
big
deal.
Switching
to
electricity
will
shift
our
dependence
from
the
fossil
fuel
industry
to
alternative
renewable
energy
sources,
making
a
systematic,
sustainable
and
long-term
difference.
I
urge
council
members
and
the
mayor
to
support
the
framework
for
existing
building
electrification
and
carbon
neutrality
by
2030..
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration.

Hello,
my
name
is
daschle
leeds,
I'm
the
conservation
organizer
for
the
sierra
club,
loma
prieta
chapter.
We
applaud
san
jose
for
establishing
greenhouse
gas
reduction
strategies
that
reflect
the
urgency
of
the
climate
crisis.
The
decarbonization
of
san
jose
must
be
done
equitably.
We
believe
that
the
plans
as
written
provide
the
framework
for
achieving
this.
We
hope
that
the
city
invests
heavily
in
community
outreach,
education,
ongoing
support
programs,
streamlining
and
rebates,
and
we're
really
happy
to
see
that
all
these
are
already
included
in
the
existing
building
framework
and
other
plans.
L
We
fully
support
the
city's
equity
goals
and
we
call
on
san
jose
to
explore
and
establish
the
anti-displacement
and
tenant
protection
ordinances
that
it's
outlined.
A
crisis
of
this
severity
requires
leadership
wherever
it
can
be
found
and
right
now,
cities
are
leading
the
way
on
climate
change.
We're
glad
that
san
jose
one
of
the
largest
in
the
nation
is
stepping
up
as
a
leader.
This
is
no
small
undertaking
and
success
will
rely
on
the
council's
full
commitment
to
the
existing
building
framework,
carbon
neutral
strategy
and
transportation
strategy.

Hello,
my
name
is
ria
narang,
I'm
a
san
jose
resident
and
a
member
of
sbyca
silicon
valley,
youth,
climate,
energy
and
an
upcoming
senior
in
high
school,
as
the
climate
crisis
becomes
increasingly
worse
and
worse,
I
can
only
emphasize
the
importance
of
the
approval
of
the
three
action
items
recently
presented:
6.1,
6.2
and
10.3.
P
These
items
will
be
in
pursuit
of
more
affordable
and
healthier
housing,
better
indoor
and
outdoor
air
quality,
more
high
quality
jobs
and
the
increased
reliability
of
energy
for
critical
facilities
and
services.
Such
efforts
are
necessary
to
create
a
healthier,
safer
and
more
prosperous
city
for
all
residents,
yeah
to
keep
it
quick.
San
jose
will
become
a
better
and
stronger
and
more
resilient
community
by
accelerating
climate
action
and
by
moving
to
carbon
neutrality
by
2030.
I
deeply
thank
you
for
your
time,
patrick.
M
You
should
rest
assured
that,
as
planners,
we
know
how
to
keep
curb
parking
from
getting
overcrowded
using
residential
parking
permits
and
prices
and
other
tools.
We
know
how
to
do
that
in
ways
that
let
existing
residents
keep
parking
for
free
while
making
sure
that
new
developments
don't
result
in
overcrowded
street
parking.
So
many
cities
have
done
this
already
and
san
jose
can
too
so.
In
short,
hundreds
of
cities
have
already
removed
their
minimum
parking
lots
and
I
encourage
san
jose
to
follow
suit.
Thank
you
much.
C
E
E
Policies
that
will
make
it
better
for
us
and
safer
for
us
to
live
here.
I
struggle
with

in
the

because

Hey

you
all

much
the

recommendation
on

Thank
you
so
much
for
your
leadership
on
this
issue.
This
has
been
50
years
in
the
making
this
change.
The
time
has
come.
E
We
have
new
ways
of
getting
around
that
are
emerging
and
already
exist,
and
they
will
go
a
long
way
to
help
addressing
a
lot
of
really
important
issues,
including
global
burning,
including
getting
more
affordable
housing,
including
supporting
folks
who
use
public

and
equity
issues.
So
thank
you
so
much
to
the

for
your.
C
C
M
Hey,
can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
speak,
I
want
to
echo
the
most
important
thing
I
think
is
the
young
people
that
came
up
they're,
the
ones
who
are
going
to
inherit
the
earth
after
we
leave
and
if
they're
we
leave
them
a
place
that
isn't
hospitable.
M
We've
done
not
so
good
things
for
the
the
planet
and
its
people
on
it.
I
also
want
to
keep
encouraging
to
pass
six
one,
six,
two
and
ten,
three,
and
also
one
of
the
key
things
that
was
in
the
plan.
Is
the
comment
to
monitor
and
manage
things.
There's
a
lot
of
ambitious
things
in
this.
It's
going
to
take
some
work
to
put
them
into
action,
and
so
the
monitor
and
manage
part
of
it
is
a
keep
thing.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
C
M
The
city's
climate,
smart
goals
and
tdm
measures
are
important
and
should
be
aggressively
pursued.
Combining
these
three
items
just
cuts.
Public
comment
by
two-thirds
staff
presentation
contains
a
number
of
errors.
Upgrades
for
an
electric
heat
pump
is
not
just
a
three
hundred
dollar
panel
that
ignores
the
service,
upgrade
new
meter
and
upgraded
wiring.
The
cost
is
typically
between
three
and
five
thousand
dollars
for
older
single
family
homes.
The
amount
can
exceed
ten
thousand
dollars.
The
vast
majority
of
cities
that
have
reduced
parking
requirements
have
done
so
only
in
their
downtowns
or
in
specific
districts.
M
Staff's
own
graphics
shows
this,
but
michael
conveniently
omitted
that
fact
at
both
planning,
commission
and
city
council
staff
phrases
their
own
community
outreach.
When
commissioner
olivario
challenged
staff
michael
insisted
that
they
had
met
with
neighborhood
associations,
including
willow
glenn,
commissioner
oliveira
was
a
board
member
of
that
association,
so
he
knew
that
this
wasn't
true.
Michael
then
insisted
that
oh
well,
we
had
met
with
a
group
of
people
while
standing
on
lincoln
avenue
staff
reached
out
to
lobbyists
and
advocacy
groups,
not
neighborhood
associations
and
residents.
D
D
I
have
many
questions
and
comments,
but
I'm
going
to
defer
those,
but
I
do
want
to
at
least
offer
thanks
and
forgive
me
if
I
don't
get
to
everybody,
but
I
certainly
want
to
thank
everyone
in
our
community.
Who's
been
pushing
so
hard
for
for
many
years
to
get
us
to
this
point,
and
I
think
we've
accomplished
a
lot
together,
but
we've
got
a
lot
more
work
to
do,
of
course,
and
that
includes
catalyze
sv
mothers
out
front
spur
greenbelt
alliance.
D
Luna,
icann,
vegelution
forensic
caltrain,
transform
save
the
bay
sv
at
home,
silicon
valley,
bike
coalition,
urban
environmentalist,
california,
embi
housing
action
coalition,
a
lot
of
other
folks.
So
forgive
me
if
I
didn't
get
everyone
in
there,
but
there's
been
a
lot
of
folks
pushing
and
we're
very
grateful
that
we've
got
such
an
engaged
community.
I
really
want
to
thank
some
catalysts.
D
Who've
been
really
instrumental
in
helping
us
here
internally
at
city
hall
and
those
catalysts
I
mean
coming
from
the
outside,
to
give
us
resources
the
most
important
resource
being
people
who
can
help
us
work
through
these
complex
challenges.
So
I
want
to
thank
from
bloomberg.
Philanthropies
and
rdc
and
delivery
associates.
D
Kimi
narita,
elizabeth
stamp
amanda
eakin
and
elena
almeido
who's
been
embedded
with
us
and
the
city
staff,
and
it's
been
really
helpful
and
of
course
I
really
want
to
thank
the
leadership
of
our
city
team,
particularly
for
the
willingness
to
push
through
these
important
changes
through
this
pandemic.
D
So
thank
you.

breslin
boy,
there's
lots
of
folks.
Here
I
already
named
anyway.
I
will
stop
there.
I
think
ken
and
emily
actually
no
longer
work
with
the
city.
I
know
we've
got,
we've
got
other
folks
who
are
still
working.
You
know
pushing.
D
So
I'm
sorry
if
I've
left
anyone
out,
there's
just
some
folks
that
we're
aware
of
just
at
the
mayor's
office
we've
been
working
with
frequently
and
then
within
my
own
team.
I
want
to
thank
scott,
green
and
julian
lake
and
kat
wilson
for
all
their
work
as
well.
We
are
going
to
why
don't
we
take
this
in
two
bytes?
First,
we'll
start
with
6.1
and
6.2,
because
we,
I
think
we
can
talk
about
those
in
a
fairly
integrated
way
with
one
motion
and
then
we'll
go
on
to
the
parking
in
10.3.
D
Unless
anyone
has
any
objection,
we'll
start
that
way
and
we'll
go
to
councilmember
cohen.
B
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor.
I'm
want
to
start
first
by
thanking
all
of
the
people
who
came
out
tonight
to
speak
on
this
issue.
The
number
of
speakers
reflects
the
importance
of
what
it
is
that
we're
discussing
tonight
and
the
importance
of
this
issue,
in
particular
the
young
people
who
came
out
to
speak.
They
they
always
inspire
me
and
give
me
hope
for
the
future.
They
are,
in
particular
the
ones
who
know
the
existential
crisis
that
we're
facing
in
the
the
gravity
of
of
doing
something
about
it.
B
I'm
I'm
very
continuing
to
be
proud
of
the
city
of
san
jose
for
sticking
our
necks
out
to
be
an
example
for
other
cities
around
the
country
of
what's
possible.
B
The
mayor
already
thanked
all
the
staff,
so
I
didn't
have
to
run
the
risk
of
leaving
somebody
out
trying
to
thank
them
myself,
but
they've
been
great
leaders
and
partners
in
these
conversations
as
we're
working
towards
this
plan,
and
I'm
excited
that
they're
helping
set
ambitious
goals
for
the
city
that
if
we
set
our
minds
to
it,
I
believe
we
can
achieve.
B
There
are
obviously
some
graphics
in
the
presentation
that
show
that
there
are
challenges,
and
there
are
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
do,
but
I
think
it's
doable
and
I
think
that
with
the
right
staff
and
the
right
support
from
council,
we
can
get
it
done.
Carrie.
I
was
going
to
ask
you
to
put
up
slide
23
just
for
a
minute,
so
I
can
just
talk
about
it.
For
a
second,
maybe
ask
a
couple
questions.
B
C
B
Oh
okay,
I
don't
know
why.
I
don't
think
I
did
anything.
Okay,
you
hear
me
better.
Yes,
okay,
we're
talking
about
facilitating
a
transition,
that's
underway,
we're
not
talking
about
the
city
mandating
something
that
isn't
inevitably
going
to
happen.
Carrie.
Let
me
start
with
asking
you
a
question
you
mentioned.
I
think
in
the
presentation
already
that
that
you
know
there
will
be
phasing
out,
for
example,
of
electric
appliances
over
the
next
eight
years,
whether
we
take
action
or
not,
and
so
can
you
just.
B
I
think
that
might
have
been
different
slide.
Don't
worry
about
that,
but
what
I
guess
I
don't
really
need
to
ask
the
question,
because
I
think
on
your
slide,
you
said
the
bay
area,
air
quality
management
district
is
suggesting
a
phase-out
beginning
in
2027.
B
I
had
heard
in
my
discussions
with
some
other
folks
that
they
believe
that
they'll
actually
try
to
go
for
100
phase
out
by
2029.
The
state
is
likely
to
pass
legislation
to
phase
out
the
sale
of
new
electric
appliances
by
2030..
Now,
none
of
that
is
to
suggest
that
somebody
would
have
to
replace
a
working
appliance
just
that
they
would
have
to
when
they
reach
the
end
of
life
of
their
appliances,
replace
it
with
electric
appliances.
B
This
is
the
slide
that
I
wanted
to
talk
about
just
a
little
bit,
especially
on
the
cost
side,
because
we
continue
to
hear
from
people
about
about
some
exaggerated
sense
of
what
it
would
cost
them
to
make
these
changes.
So
you
mentioned
it
says
here
14
to
17
less
than
natural
gas
replacement.
So
can
you
just
provide
a
little
context
to
that?
If
you
were
to
replace
any
appliance
with
a
natural
gas
appliance
versus
electric?
I
I
That
incremental
difference
and
some
of
the
incremental
difference
is
impacted
by
where
and
when
you
include
the
cost
of
the
panel
upgrade
as
it's
needed,
and
sometimes
we
we
think
a
panel
upgrade
may
not
be
needed
if
we
can
help
you
reduce
energy
consumption
through
other
efficiency
measures
at
at
the
parcel,
but
but
we
also
think
that
when
someone
is
buying
an
electric
vehicle,
that's
the
time
to
upgrade
the
panel
to
meet
your
long-term
needs,
not
just
the
needs
of
the
ev,
and
so
some
of
it
depends
on
how
you
bundle
it.
I
But
some
of
it
also
depends
on
the
age
and
the
existing
condition
of
the
electrical
system
at
that
address,
and
so
we
have
some
some
general
numbers,
but
I
just
want
to
relay
that.
I
We
know
the
same
number
is
not
true
for
every
housing
unit
or
every
commercial
unit,
and
so
there's
an
exception
to
every
rule,
as
I
say,
but
when
we
look
at
the
particular
numbers
as
we
run
them,
it
is
less
because
you
also
want
to
include
the
operating
class,
as
we
kind
of
say
down
at
the
end
as
san
jose
clean
energy
continues.
To
remind
me,
the
cost
of
natural
gas
today
is
twice
as
much
as
it
was
this
time
last
year,
so
certainly
will
be
increased,
increased
operating
costs
as
well
and
julie.
J
Yeah,
so
we
have
there's
a
full
cost
analysis
in
the
building
electrification
framework
and
also-
and
are
the
frequently
asked
questions
that
we
attach
to
the
memo
and
have
on
our
website,
so
that
that
particular
figure
that
you're
mentioning
the
14
to
17
is
based
on
looking
at
both
the
hvac
and
water
heater,
which
we
mentioned
before
the
primary
focus
for
electrification,
since
they
represent
most
of
the
natural
gas
usage,
and
most
of
that
cost
savings
is
really
directly
from
the
hvac
portion
of
it,
because
if
you're
changing
out
a
natural
gas
furnace
and
an
air
conditioning
and
going
to
a
heat
pump,
a
heat
pump
can
provide
both
of
those
in
one
unit
and
so
there's
actually
a
cost
savings
from
that,
and
actually
that
we
also
see
a
benefit
in
the
sense
of
many
natural
money
homes.
J
That's
my
home
only
has
a
natural
gas
furnace
and
no
ac,
and
so,
when
you're
changing
to
the
heat
pump
version,
you
actually
are
addressing.
A
second
are
achieving
a
second
benefit
in
the
sense
of
you
know.
We
we
know,
there's
more
heat
waves,
there's
a
need
for
air
conditioning
and
that
can
provide
both
of
those
in
one
unit.
Does
that
answer
your
question.
B
Very
good,
thank
you
and
obviously
we're
going
to
need
more
air
conditioning
in
the
future
because
of
the
effects
of
what
we
haven't
dealt
with
in
the
past.
Just
wanted
to
point
out
the
the
panel
upgrade
piece.
B
I
had
a
conversation
with
a
state
senator
who's,
disappointed
by
the
misinformation
out
there
that
everybody
needs
a
new
panel
in
order
to
upgrade
their
electrical
appliances,
they're
becoming
more
and
more
plug
and
plug-in
options
that
don't
need
new
panels
and
he's
talking
about
legislation
to
help
the
state
incentivize
people
to
make
the
switch
and
teach
them
that
they
don't
need
to
to
change
their
panels.
But
I
know
that
one
of
one
of
the
things
I
talked
to
to
the
staff
about
before
is
having
the
city.
B
Maybe
do
an
inventory
of
the
panels
in
the
city
and
helping
people
find
out
if
they
need
an
upgrade
or
not
and
helping
them
prepare.
For
that
time,
in
which
they'll
need
to
make
the
shift
to
electrical
appliances.
You
mentioned
the
cost
of
gas.
B
One
of
the
one
of
the
fears
people
have
is
that
somehow
in
2030,
pg
e
is
just
going
to
shut
off
all
gas
supplies
and
you'll
just
be
forced
to
switch.
Then
I
don't
anticipate
that
happening,
but
I
think
I've
heard
you
say
before
that
at
some
point,
the
cost
of
operating
the
natural
gas
system-
that's
aging
and
will
have
fewer
users
will
become
so
expensive
that
it
is
possible.
Pg
e
won't
be
able
to
continue
to
do
it
anymore.
Is
that
true.
I
B
I
guess
I
didn't
mean
to
imply
that,
but
at
some
point
this
is
phasing
out
and
the
cost
for
the
remaining
users
will
grow
proportionally
as
well.
I
don't
know
that
I
we
need
to
spend
more
time.
Most
of
the
commenters
said
most
of
things
that
are
important
about
this.
This
is
a
great
action.
I
do
want
to
say
that
technology
is
going
to
help
us
as
well
in
the
future.
B
We
know
technology
gets
better
very
rapidly
in
this
field
and
it's
the
it's
one
of
the
biggest
areas
of
growth
of
new
companies
in
silicon
valley
is
energy
and
I
think
we're
going
to
have
some
new
solutions.
I
also
want
us
to
to
be
looking
at
sequestration
strategies
as
well.
B
You
know,
obviously,
planting
more
trees,
restoring
our
wetlands
on
the
coast
and
other
things
are
going
to
help
us
sequester
carbon,
and
I
expect
there
to
be
some
also
larger
scale
sequestration
options
out
there
at
the
national
level.
That
will
hopefully
help
us
in
this
regard.
So
I'm
gonna
make
a
motion.
B
Let
me
get
out,
go
try
to
get
everything
together.
I'm
gonna
recommend
I'm
gonna
move
the
council.
I
mean
the
staff
memo
on
carbon
neutral
by
2030,
along
with
a
supplemental
memo
that
updates
the
language
that
was
recommended
by
the
direction
great
direction
of
councilmember
foley
at
the
tne
committee
last
week,
and
then
the
additional
council
memo
on
the
building,
electrification
framework
and
add
to
that
the
memo
written
by
myself,
councilmember,
foley
and
vice
mayor
jones.
B
I
want
to
address
a
little
bit
about
the
memo,
our
memo
from
what
I've
heard
from
other
cities.
It's
been
very
helpful
to
some
cities
to
create
a
climate
commission
that
involves
experts
in
the
community
and
helping
come
up
with
other
strategies.
I
know
that
our
staff
is
very
capable,
but
I
think
they'll
be
helped
by
having
people
who
are
also
out
there,
learning
about
new
technologies,
new
ways
of
doing
things
and
bringing
ideas
forward.
B
B
We're
asking
the
memo
asks
for
that
to
come
back
by
next
spring,
so
we
can
budget
in
the
fall
next
budget
year.
2324
whatever
is
needed
in
order
to
implement
the
commission
and
merge
that
commission
with
the
clean
energy
advisory
commission.
In
addition,.
B
Number
four
in
the
memo
ask
staff
to
continue
working
with
the
planning
staff
to
update
the
city's
roof
space
design
standards,
figure
out
how
to
maximize
solar
or
maximize
green
spaces
on
roofs
of
new
developments,
and
also
look
into
how
we
mitigate
carbon
emissions
from
building
materials.
We
know
there's
a
lot
of
embodied
carbon
in
older
buildings,
the
less
we
we
tear
down
old
structures
and
replace
them
with
new,
but
instead
incorporate
old
structures
into
the
new
ones
the
less
our
carbon
footprint
will
be.
B
So
we
ought
to
be
thinking
about
building
standards
that
encourage
that
kind
of
reduction
as
well.
So
that's
my
motion.
D
Okay,
that's
a
lot
of
emphatic
seconds
council
member
foley.
K
H
All
over,
thank
you
to
the
staff
for
your
presentation
on
all
of
our
goals
and
the
directions
we'll
talk
about
the
tdm
and
parking
later,
but
the
first
two
items
6.1
and
6.2.
I
completely
support.
I
do
want
to
go
to
the
vision
and
I
appreciate
all
the
work
and
comments
that
you've
made
in
your
presentations.
H
I
think
this
is
the
second
or
third
time
that
I've
heard
it
and
it's
really
helpful
and
exciting
that
we're
moving
into
this
direction.
I
also
want
to
thank
members
of
the
public
for
being
here,
particularly
mothers
out
front
and
the
young
people
who
are
members
of
the
youth
climate
action
coalition.
Although
I
don't
think
I
got
the
name
of
their
organization
right,
but
you
get
the
point.
H
At
least
I
got
the
point
I
want
to
start
off
by
saying
I.
I
completely
support
the
two
items,
6.1
and
6.2,
and
I
think
it's
a
tremendous
step
in
the
right
direction.
A
few
months
ago
we
accepted
or
the
challenge
of
achieving
working
to
achieve
carbon
neutrality
by
2030,
but
that's
just
an
aspiration.
H
We
really
need
to
create
a
fame
framework
in
order
to
get
there
and
what's
been
presented.
Today
is
a
start
in
that
direction.
Moving
in
in
that
or
as
part
of
that,
I
want
to
talk
about
the
vision
statement
and
council
member
cohen.
I
think
you
added
this
language,
but
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear
about
it
that,
in
the
vision
statement
which
I
appreciate,
you
have
that
guiding
language
on
page
three
of
your
presentation
in
t
e,
we
changed
it
from
moving
to
carbon
neutrality
to
achieving
carbon
neutrality.
H
We
need
to
be
bold
and
we
need
to
be
courageous
in
the
decisions
we
make
to
preserve
our
environment
and
and
to
move
forward
to
electrification
and
achieve
carbon
neutrality,
and
that
we'll
talk
about
the
parking
later.
But
for
now
those
are
the
two
things
I
want
to
focus
on,
so
my
notes
are
kind
of
all
over
the
place
so
bear
with
me.
While
I
go
back
and
forth
and
try
to
figure
out
what
questions
I
actually
need
to
ask
at
this
point.
H
So
one
of
the
ways
to
achieve
carbon
neutrality
addresses
electric
vehicles
and
charging
stations,
and
we
are
dramatically
underserved
with
car
with
charging
stations
in
certain
areas
of
the
city
in
some
areas.
The
city
we
have-
I
don't
know
if
we
have
adequate
but
they're,
very
easy
to
access
certain
parts
of
the
city
based
because
they
have
more
land,
more
single-family
homes,
just
easier
to
to
find
ev
charging
stations
which
are
really
important.
H
But
if
we're
going
to
achieve
the
goals
we
need
to,
we
need
to
expand
the
access
to
charging
stations
throughout
the
city
and
I'm
most
concerned
in
our
loan
income
areas
where
there's
multi
multi-family
housing.
And
how
will
we
accomplish
that?
What
kind
of
goals
or
how?
What's
our
way,
that
we
might
be
able
to
achieve
more
charging
stations
who's
going
to
take?
Thank.
K
You
council,
member
ramsay
department
of
transportation
at
the
moment,
what
we're
doing
is
researching
where
the
most
in
the
the
charging
deserts
are
termed
food,
desert
charging
deserts
all
right
and
then
lining
that
up
with
fun
right
we
as
the
city
ourselves.
K
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
money
directly
to
add
funding,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
money
coming
through
both
state,
regional
and
federal
funding
programs
and
we're
going
to
be
driving
that
money
towards
those
directions,
we're
also
supporting
legislation
at
the
state
level
that
drives
new
building
standards.
K
That
would
increase
the
amount
of
chargers
and
new
developments,
particularly
in
multi-family,
there's,
particularly
a
law
right
now
being
crafted
that's
trying
to
create
parity
so
that
multi-family
units
are
treated
roughly
the
same
as
single-family
homes
which
actually
require
so
one
programs
internally
trying
to
drive
that
supporting
things
like
cali
vp,
which
was
the
the
grant
program
that
I
just
brought
up
in
the
presentation
earlier
with
10
000
new
spaces
are
being
done
in
san
jose.
Some
of
those
are
going
into
multi-family.
K
Another
thing
is
whether
those
the
charging
needs
to
go
in
the
multi-family
units
or
directly
or
in
the
neighborhood
services
around
them.
So
we're
looking
at
libraries
community
centers
and
we
might
want
to
look
at
things
like
gas
stations.
Should
gas
stations
have
some
kind
of
parity
rule
around
as
many
gas
pumps
as
chargers.
That's
a
really
great
way
to
distribute
things
gas.
I
You
can't
remember
fully
I'd
also
ask
maybe
zach
can
add
some
context
in
terms
of
what
community
energy
has
been
and
and
continues
to
look
at
to
ensure
we're
getting
charging
during
the
day,
because
that's
equally
important.
S
Yeah,
that's
right,
the
I
mean
you
know
simply
stated
you
know.
Pricing
really,
you
know,
will
impact
behavior
and-
and
we
think
that
you
know,
although
there
are
a
number
of
serious
private
act,
private
sector
actors
in
the
charging
space-
and
you
know,
there's
room
for
plenty
of
plenty
of
actors
if
a
bunch
of
charging
gets
built
and
the
prices
are
such
that
everyone
wants
to
just
go
home
and
build
or
have
their
own
charger
at
home
and
and
charge
at
night.
S
That's
not
that's,
not
a
good
outcome,
so
so
we,
you
know,
as
a
condition
of
of
you,
know
the
having
these
chargers
built
or
over
the
grants.
You
know,
I
think
some
you
know
daytime
charging.
Incentives
are
probably
important
and
we
have
some
pilots
in
mind
that
we've
talked
about
at
transportation
environment
committee
for
for
later
this
fall
and
next
year
and
we
think
that'll
be
instructed
for
how
to
move
forward.
I
So
you
need
this
to
say:
we've
probably
got
ten
ten
angles,
we're
working
on
now,
all
with
money
and
grid
stability
in
mind,
great.
H
I'll
just
throw
one
other
out
there,
and
that
is
lobbying
our
legislators,
state
or
federal
to
offer
tax
incentives
for
in
installing
charging
stations
that
are
accessible
during
the
daytime.
That
would
benefit
the
community,
so
maybe-
and
maybe
there's
a
way
to
do-
that
in
conjunction
with
affordable
housing
that
affordable
housing
developers
get
tax
credits
of
some
sort,
but
that
that
is
a
legislative
fix
and
maybe
that's
a
longer
term
term
goal,
but
something
that
might
incentivize
people.
H
The
other
thing
is
so
so
there's
one
thing:
if
you
build
it,
will
they
they
will
come
right.
So
you
you
bit
you
put
in
the
charging
stations,
but
you
still
have
to
have
people
who
have
electric
vehicles
in
order
to
charge
and
what
they
need.
What
many
people
need
to
know
or
need
to
be
educated,
is
the
actual
cost
of
maintaining
a
electric
vehicle
is
much
lower,
particularly
now
with
the
cost
of
gas
than
than
having
a
combustion
combustion
engine
right.
H
So
we
need
to
work
on
educating
our
our
community
to
understand
that
when
they
change
when
they're
ready
to
get
a
new
vehicle,
that
an
electric
vehicle
is
the
way
to
go,
because
in
the
long
run,
they're
going
to
save
money
on
it
and
and
that's
in
the
maintenance
of
it,
and
it's
not
just
the
gas
that
they're
saving
saving
cost
it's
in
the
all
the
fluids
you
put
in
your
vehicle,
you
don't
put
into
an
electric
electric
vehicle.
H
So
that's
one
area,
I'm
I'm
just
I'm
so
excited
about
this.
I
think
the
the
electrification
piece
is
and
there's
taken
you've
taken
a
lot
of
heat
actually
on
information
that
the
community
got
a
hold
of
a
few
months
ago.
Thinking
that
we
were
mandating
electrification
in
our
residential
properties.
I
Thank
you,
council
member.
Yes,
there's
no,
no
mandate
in
item
six,
one
or
six
two!
You
know
our
job
is
to
to
convince
people
why
it
makes
sense
both
emotionally
and
financially.
H
Right
and
thank
you,
there
was
a
lot
of
misinformation
which
we
work
to
overturn
and-
and
I
appreciate
you
going
on
record
again-
I
think
you've
stated
that
many
many
times,
but
I
I
just
wanted
to
do
it
again
in
context
of
this
conversation
and-
and
that
is
that
people
love
their
gas
appliances,
but
the
cat
gas
appliances
may
fail
at
some
point.
They
get
old,
and
so
it's
at
that
time
that
we
want
them
to
consider
electrification
and
right
now,
even
to
swap
out
all
the
gas
appliances
that
someone
may
have.
H
The
market
may
not
have
the
capability.
Nor
may
we
have
the
electricians,
the
contractors
who
can
do
that
work
for
them,
so
we're
not
mandating
anything,
we're
encouraging
people
and
potentially
working
towards
incentives.
That
might
be
a
way
to
encourage
people.
I
I
remember
when
there
used
to
be
incentives
when
you
swapped
out
your
refrigerator
to
a
more
carbon
f,
more
environmentally
friendly
refrigerator.
I
Some
of
the
efforts
that
have
been
underway
are
include
the
ability,
at
many
of
our
libraries,
to
check
out
an
induction
stovetop
which
comes
with
pans
that
work,
so
you
can
try
it
out,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
the
hesitation
to
transition
from
a
gas
range
to
to
induction
is
just
you're
not
familiar
with
it,
and
so
so
I
I'm
not
a
good
cook,
but
I
can
tell
you
it
does
work
really
well,
but
and
so,
and
it's
much
easier
to
clean
and
much
healthier
for
your
home,
but
but
so
getting
people
more
comfortable
with
what
a
new
tool
is
that
they've
not
yet
experienced,
and
certainly
as
as
we've
said
throughout
our
conversation,
we
we
need
more
conversation
with
with
the
community
so
that
we
can
tailor
our
communications
and
engagement
in
a
way
that
resonates
with
them.
I
I
think
that
was
some
of
the
confusion
several
months
ago.
Is
you
know
we
we
use
some
word
choices
that
that
didn't
hit
quite
the
way
we
thought
they
would
and
that
created
some
confusion
which
we
doubled
back
to
try
and
clarify.
I
But
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do,
but
we
don't
think
all
the
moves
are
going
to
take
place
in
one
one
day
or
one
year,
so
certainly
as
as
we've
articulated
focusing
on
heating
and
cooling,
air
and
heating
and
heating
water
are
the
biggest
bang
for
our
buck
right
now
and
they're
the
ones
that
frankly,
people
have
less
emotional
attachment
to
yeah.
So
so
we'll
work,
those
first
and
then
the
others
will
come
along
when
it
makes
sense
yeah.
I.
H
I
agree
with
that
too,
that
people
are
really
attached
to
their
stoves.
I
don't
happen
to
have
a
gas
stove.
I
tried
to
get
a
gas
tales
when
moved
in
it
just
didn't
make
sense,
32
years
ago
too,
far
to
move
that
gas
pipe
into
my
kitchen,
which
was
on
the
other
side
of
the
house,
so
I
don't
have
it,
but
I
know
people
who
absolutely
love
it,
and
I
I
get
it
because
you
can
control
the
temperature
a
little
bit
more.
H
I
brought
forward
a
parking,
reducing
parking
requirements,
and
now
it's
finally
here
it's
really
exciting
to
see
that
and
have
that
discussion,
but
the
electrification
is
so
important
and
critical
for
us
to
be
bold,
be
courageous
and
to
vote
yes
and
move
this
forward
with
that
I'm
finished.
Thank
you.
Mayor.
D
Thank
you,
council
member
mayhem,.
R
E
Thank
you
mayor.
I
also
want
to
start
off
by
also
thanking
our
our
staff
with
carrie
and
rosalind
and
john
and
chris
michael
jessica.
I
mean,
I
think,
that
there
is
a
huge,
a
huge
effort
from
all
of
the
staff.
E
I'm
sure
that
I've
missing
a
lot
of
folks
and
just
really
impressed
with
all
the
wonderful
work
that
has
been
accomplished
and
the
level
of
engagement
really
shows
with
the
number
of
of
speakers
that
we've
heard
today
and
the
quality
of
their
statements
and
their
input,
and
so
I
hope
they
take
a
little
bit
of
time
off
during
the
summer
to
enjoy
and
gear
up
for.
E
The
second
part
of
all
of
this,
which
is,
is
putting
everything
into
and
the
next
steps
one
of
the
things
that
before
council
member
esparza
laughed
on
a
personal
matter.
She
asked
me
to
include
an
item
which
I
think
makes
sense
and
I
think
is
congruent
with
with
what
is
within
the
recommendations
of
a
group
memo
and
so
council
member.
E
Cohen,
I'm
wondering
if
you
would
be
open.
I
didn't
hear
you
include
councilmember
as
far
as
blue
memo
on
parking
and
transportation
yeah.
F
L
B
D
Cohen,
just
when
you
do
speak,
if
you
could
just
speak
a
little
closer
to
mike.
Oh,
I
I
don't
okay!
Well,
I'm
done!
Thank
you!
No,
no
worries
so
so.
Councilman
reynolds
we're
just
focused
on
six
one,
six,
two
right
now,
but
we'll
come
to
six
to
10.3
in
a
moment.
D
Okay,
okay,
councilmember
davis,.
T
Thank
you
maron.
I
also
want
to
add
my
thanks
to
all
the
staff
for
for
all
their
work
on
on
these
issues.
Regarding
6.1,
I
want
to
say
again.
I
know
I've
said
this
before
I
support
the
intent
of
building
electrification,
but
I
do
have
some
concerns
that
I,
frankly
think
are
being
glossed
over.
T
According
to
the
north,
american
electric
reliability
corporation's
2022
summer,
reliability
assessment,
extreme
weather
events
due
to
climate
change,
we'll
continue
to
threaten
the
reliability
of
our
power
grid.
I
think
we
all
know
about
that,
and
I
I've
heard
from
many
residents
in
almaden
valley
that
they
experience
power
outages
on
a
regular
basis.
T
We
also
know
that
the
hottest
seven
years
on
record
have
all
occurred
since
2015..
Now
I
know
some
of
you
are
thinking.
Well,
that's
all
the
more
reason
for
us
to
take
these
actions
toward
electrification
to
help
with
preventing
climate
change.
But
my
point
is
that
climate
change
is
already
here
and
I
think,
unfortunately,
we
are
faced
with
the
choice
now
about
doing
something
about
climate
change
which
may
be
less
in
our
control
and
and
actually
having
a
resiliency
effort
and
there's
a
trade-off
there.
So
I
have.
T
I
have
concerns
about
that
as
well
as
concerns
about
the
grid
itself
and
its
ability
to
handle
the
electrification
acceleration
that
we're
talking
about
in
6.1
and
6.2.
I
I
think
back
to
slide.
It
was
slide
11
in
the
first
presentation
and
what
it
will
take
annually
the
kinds
of
actions
it
will
take
annually
to
meet
our
goal
by
2030.
And
I
just
again
I
haven't
seen
I
I
asked
about
this
at
tne.
T
We,
we
haven't
even
gone
total
green
throughout
the
city,
because
the
city
cannot
afford
to
do
so
and
we
haven't
had.
We
don't
have
an
estimate
for
what
it
will
cost
to
accelerate
our
goal
to
2030
and
the
cost
to
the
public.
T
So
I
just
have
real
concerns
about
that,
and-
and
I
just
say,
I
think
that
we
should
be
focusing
our
efforts
on
developing
our
urban
villages
as
a
way
to
reduce
our
carbon
footprint
and
our
carbon
output
in
the
city,
and
I
fully
support
all
of
our
education
to
ensure
that
our
residents
understand.
There
are
other
things
that
they
can
do
to
reduce,
reduce
their
carbon
footprint
that
doesn't
cost
them
thousands
of
dollars.
T
T
We
haven't
talked
about
the
trade-offs
on
climate
resilience
versus
the
acceleration
to
carbon
neutrality,
and
I
think
that
we
should
have
that
discussion
when
we're
talking
about
costs
and
that
we
need
to
have
those
discussions
with
costs.
I
appreciate
the
aspirations.
I
really
do.
I
we,
I
have
an
electric
car.
We
charge
it
at
home
because
it's
cheaper
to
charge
it
at
home.
T
When
we
replaced
our
furnace
a
couple
of
years
ago,
we
actually
have
a
heat
pump,
but
we
also
still
have
a
furnace
because
it
was
cheaper
to
have
both
than
it
was
to
to
just
replace
the
ac
unit
and
to
with
a
heat
pump
to
not
have
a
gas
furnace
anymore
at
all,
because
it
was
frankly
cheaper
to
to
have
two
different
to
have
the
gas
and
the
electric.
T
It
was
cheaper
to
have
two
different
sources
of
energy,
so
I
I
think
that
everyone
needs
to
be
able
to
make
these
decisions,
and
I
hope
that
we
can
help
them
by
providing
accurate
information,
but
saying
that
we
that
we
don't
need
to
to
do
things
like
upgrade
our
boxes,
which
I
would
have
had
to
upgrade
my
box.
T
D
Anyone
respond
or
no
okay,
all
right
other
comments.
Vice
mayor
jones,.
A
Thank
you
mayor.
First
of
all,
I
wanted
to
just
reinforce
what
councilmember
foley
had
you
state
and,
and
that
is
that
our
residents
don't
have
to
worry
about
someone
from
our
city
staff,
kicking
down
their
door
and
you
know
forcing
them
to
give
up
their
their
gas-powered
appliances.
So
that
is
not
going
to
happen.
There's
no
expectations
of
that
happening,
and
it's
not
something
that's
being
proposed,
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
members
of
the
audience
who
previously
misinterpret
what
you
know.
A
I
Thank
you.
I
mean
the
the
direct
answers.
I
don't
know,
but
you
know
what
if
we
could
make
the
numbers
work
such
that
you
could
get
a
brand
new
furnace,
that
used
less
electricity
or
had
a
total,
a
reduced,
total
operating
cost
and
kept
your
house
healthier,
and
you
got
air
conditioning
as
part
of
it.
I
Then
that
might
make
you
make
your
own
choice:
to
move
to
to
a
new
heat
pump
system,
much
like
many
people
transition
from
a
gasoline-powered
car
to
an
electric
car,
because
it
makes
financial
sense
for
them,
given
their
commute,
or
it's
has
other
amenities
that
they
prefer.
So
so
our
focus
will
be
making
the
numbers,
work
and
craft
and
moving
towards
that
tipping
point
where
it
makes
sense,
particularly
for
instrumentation
and
equipment
that
is
still
functional
and
still
has
you
know
two
to
five
years
left.
I
But
having
said
that,
what
we
need
to
work
on
is
preparing
people
and
and
structures
so
that
when
that
furnace
or
that
water,
that
natural
gas,
furnace
or
water
heater
fails,
we
are
able
to
do
the
transition
to
electric.
Then
and
right
now.
That's
not
true
without
planning,
because
you,
you
may
have
other
adjustments
to
make
before
you
can
swap
out
a
natural
gas
water
heater
with
an
electric
water
heater,
and
so
so.
The
conversations
with
with
the
community
will
be
around
inventorying
people's
equipment.
I
So
they're,
aware
of
what
kind
of
much
like,
I
guess
when
you
replace
your
roof,
you
think
about
how
you're
gonna
do
that
and
when
it's
due
and
so
pre-planning
pre-conversations,
and
certainly
pulling
out
our
calculators
and
talking
about
what
makes
sense.
A
A
So
we
go
through
this
process
and
at
the
end
of
five
years,
if
it
goes
out,
then
I'm
forced
to
buy
an
electric
furnace
and
incur
whatever
cost
to
do
upgrades,
and
you
know
upgrade
my
panel
and
all
the
other
costs
associated
with
that.
I
would
be
in
a
position
where
I
wouldn't
have
a
choice
or
I'm
just
trying
to
just
for
the
public,
I'm
just
trying
to
put
it
in
real
terms
in
terms
of
how
it's
going
to
impact
them.
I
I
One
of
our
goals
is
to
ensure
that,
when
that
big
swath
of
work
is
ready,
so
when
there
are
many
houses
at
many
structures
in
san
jose
that
want
to
install
new
equipment
that
we
have
local
workers
that
can
do
that
equipment
and
that
and
we're
able
to
support
that
needed
transition,
because
when
there's
a
shortage
of
workers
the
price
goes
up.
So
we
need
to
do
that
training
now
and
we
need
to.
We
need
to
prepare
for
it.
I
So
it's
sort
of
a
lot
of
pre-work
getting
people
comfortable
and
then
making
that
switch,
and
I
might
I
might
sort
of
make
it
analogous
to
when
you
used
to
be
able
to
go
to
get
an
incandescent
light
bulb,
and
it
was
an
easy
choice
frankly
and
and
cheaper
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
there
were
many
different
types
of
light
bulbs.
You
could
get
and
it
was
confusing
and
more
expensive.
So
we
want
to
do
is
do
that
education,
so
the
transition
is
smoother.
I
I
We
are
not
mandating
anything
and
we
don't
have
a
timeline
that
says
when
a
mandate
would
make
sense,
but
we
also
don't
want
our
our
community
kind
of
unprepared
for
it
when
it
comes
because
we
do
think
there
is.
There
is
prep
work
that
needs
to
be
done
and
we
do
think
it
is
less
expensive,
creates
a
healthier
environment
and
and
produces
local
jobs.
So
we
do
think
there
are
lots
of
things
that
make
it
make
sense,
but
but
we're
not
proposing
a
mandate
at
this
time.
D
Thank
you.
I
I
neglected
to
mention
some
folks
who
are
really
important
in
all
this,
and
my
thanks.
Of
course.
I
know
I
forgot
others,
but
I
really
want
to
thank
laurie
mitchell
and
her
team
since
san
jose,
clean
energy
is
absolutely
essential.
None
of
this
works
unless
we
have
jsg
free
energy
and
the
good
news
is,
we've
got
a
great
team
that
has
gotten
us
to
95
ghg
free
on
our
grid,
which
is
tremendous,
though
obviously
we
know
we
have
more
work
ahead.
D
I
I
want
to
just
ask
a
couple
questions.
I
know
come
up
a
lot
carrying
it.
Well,
let
me
just
ask
one:
that's
totally
self-serving.
D
I'm
a
cheapskate
and
I've
had
an
electric
car
since
2012,
and
I
was
very
intrigued
by
this
notion
of
being
able
to
charge
a
car
in
the
daytime
so
that
way,
we're
not
paying
those
higher
costs
that
we're
going
to
be
paying
in
the
early
evening
and
it
seemed
like
it
would
be
really
great
if
we
had
free
charging
here
at
city
hall,
or
maybe
it
was
a
little
cheaper
here
at
city
hall,
and
I'm
just
wondering
who
do
we
go
talk
to
about
all
that.
D
Oh,
is
that
right,
okay,
lily,
we'll
talk
after
all,
right
cool,
hey,
go
into
the
the
issue
about
sequestration.
I
think
councilman
cohen
raised
it.
The
report
from
lawrence
livermore
estimates
nine
percent
of
our
ghg
emissions
over
the
next
30
years,
or
so
now.
20
years
I
guess
could
be
eliminated
through
sequestration,
and
I
assume
we
believe
that
I
I
I
don't
know
anything
about.
D
You
know
whether
the
science
I
always
assumed
it
was
a
relatively
small
amount
that
we
could
actually
sequester
if
we
believe
that's
true
shouldn't
that
be
one
of
the
accelerators
in
our
pathway.
I
Yeah,
so
so
in
the
natural
working
lands
document,
we
do
talk
about
around
a
15
sequestration-ish
opportunity.
I
We
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do
to
understand
that
it's
also
not
likely
something
that
that
can
happen
in
the
next
two
to
three
years,
and
so,
as
we
work
with
osa
and
and
others,
we
need
to
learn
more
about
what
moves
makes
sense,
the
costs
and
the
roi
on
those
moves.
But
but
it
is
an
area
that
we
still
strongly
needs
investment
and
needs
exploration,
and
so
so
we'll
continue
in
that
partnership
and
that,
as
we
move
through
these
steps,
we'll
start
to
engage
again
with
osa.
D
Thank
you
I
I
know
you
explained
this
to
me
once
before,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I've
got
it
we're
trying
to
get
the
carbon
neutral
by
2030.
D
we're
pushing
hard
we're
going
to
get
there
we're
going
to
be
the
first
city
to
do
it,
but
we
know,
even
if
gas
appliances
and
gas
vehicles
are
phased
out
tomorrow,
we
still
have
these
things
sitting
around
in
2030
emitting
ghg.
So
explain
to
me
how
we
get
to
carbon
neutral
by
2030
in
in
that
world.
I
So
we're
not
looking
at
getting
rid
of
you
know
every
classic
car
out
there
and
and
and
making
any
of
those
types
of
bands
or
or
mandates.
I
think
when
we
look
at
the
predominant
sources
of
our
of
our
emission
profile,
we
think
of
it
more
in
the
same
vein
as
zero
waste.
M
I
Doesn't
mean
that
there's
no,
no,
nothing
that
goes
to
a
landfill
in
absolute
sense
and
nothing
that
doesn't
you
know
it
doesn't
get
recycled.
It's
more.
You
know
when
you
round
up,
and
so
so
in
that
95-ish
percent
range
and-
and
you
know
the
more-
we
can
get
people
to
drive
the
non-electric
vehicles.
The
the.
I
We
have,
and
so
it
doesn't
have
to
be
an
absolute
but
and
but
we
do
think
that
moving
in
that
direction
will
get
us
pretty
darn
close.
D
D
I'm
hearing
that
they're
now
taking
that
up
again,
I
thought
they'd
put
that
on
the
back
burner,
but
it
looks
like
it's
coming
at
us
again
and
what
the
poc
could
do
to
undermine
solar
and
storage
in
our
community
and
throughout
the
state.
I
think,
would
be
really
devastating.
D
D
D
D
I
do
think,
though
we
have
to
be
mindful
of
resilience,
and
I
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
dissent
about
what
the
city
is
doing
or
not
doing,
for
example,
around
fuel
cells.
I
don't
think
we've
had
a
single
one
permitted
any
time
in
the
last
couple
years,
since
we
passed
that
exemption,
but
nonetheless
it
becomes
the
all-consuming
issue
and
you
know
I
think
we
just
need
to
acknowledge
the
fact
that
we've
got
a
real
challenge
with
this
grid.
D
I
don't
think
anyone's
brushing
that
under
the
rug,
but
we've
got
to
do
both
things,
because
we
can't
simply
wait
for
the
grid
to
get
resilient
before
we
do
something
about
climate
change.
So
I
I
appreciate
the
concerns
that
councilmember
davis
has
raised.
They
don't
in
any
way
inhibit
me
from
saying
let's
push
ahead,
because
we
just
got
to
do
both
things
and
that's
that's
the
bottom
line,
and
you
know
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
views,
carry
about
how
it
is.
I
D
B
Cohen,
just
quickly
on
on
the
resiliency
question,
I
had
a
meeting
with
a
a
third
party,
not
pg
e
cal.
Iso
right
now
has
an
rfp
out
to
put
in
redundancy
in
their
in
the
grid
and
what
they're
soliciting
are
bids
from,
potentially
private,
third
or
from
third
party
separate
organization
of
pg
e
to
bring
additional
wines
and
two
into
this
county.
B
There'll
be
one
coming
up
from
south
county
into
downtown
san
jose
and
one
coming
up
from
down
from
fremont
or
newark
into
north
san,
jose
to
santa
clara
and
they're,
going
to
be
happy,
bury
a
buried
grid
and
so
they're
across
the
state
calais.
I
was
expecting
the
next
five
years
to
build
this,
this
great
resiliency.
So
this
this
work
is
happening,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
need.
B
You
know
that
we're
not
assuming
that
that
the
grid
is
going
to
be
what
it
is.
Eight
years
from
now
it's
gonna
be
there
is
an
effort
and
money
being
spent
to
upgrade
the
grid.
So
I
am
optimistic
that
we'll
be
able
to
to
have
a
grid,
that's
more
resilient
by
the
time
we
get
to
some
of
our
goals.
D
All
right,
thank
you
to
vote
for,
walking
and
chewing
gum
collectively,
all
right.
We
are
now
at
a
point
to
take
a
vote
on
this
first
tranche
the
motion
on
6.1
6.2.
M
E
This
is
I'm
an
eye
as
well.
Thank
you.
D
A
Thank
you
mayor
before
I
make
my
motion.
I
just
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions.
A
One
is
in
the
presentation
you
allude
to
the
fact
that
we're
not
new
to
this
this
to
the
game
in
terms
of
parking
minimums
or
eliminating
parking
minimums.
A
Do
we
have
any
case
studies
or
examples
that
we
can
share
with
the
community
on
other
cities
that
have
done
this
and
I
swear
ramses.
I
I
think
I've
asked
you
this
question
a
couple
of
times
before
you
know
case
studies
and
examples
of
other
cities
have
implemented
this
program
and
what
are
some
of
the
outcomes.
K
I'll
give
a
small
answer:
ramses
madue,
department
of
transportation.
We
have
a
small
answer
there
and
then
wilson
might
have
some
more
backup
for
me
all
right,
yeah
we're
seeing
this
across
the
country,
both
in
city-wide
efforts,
as
well
as
in
particular
areas
downtowns
and
things
like
that.
One
that
comes
to
mind
is
san
diego,
where
it's
eliminated
downtown
and
denser
area
parking
and,
as
I
understand
it
there,
they
are
seeing
this
to
be
well
adopted
and
appreciated
both
by
developers
and
the
neighborhood.
K
G
G
We've
also
reached
out
to
our
peer
cities
in
the
county,
such
as
like
san
francisco,
so
like
in
our
bay
area
like
san
francisco
and
also
sunnyvale,
and
so
we,
you
know
the
general
feedback
from
from
these
cities
that
we
interviewed
with
is
that
there
are,
you
know,
support
for
removing
the
parking
minimums.
G
G
So
in
the
case
of
san
diego,
for
example,
they
only
removed
the
parking
minimum
in
the
downtown
area,
not
the
rest
of
their
city
and
and,
interestingly,
their
approach
to
those
is
is
driven
by
the
fact
that
they
have
other
policies
in
play
that
try
to
address
transportation
issues.
G
For
example,
in
the
case
of
san
diego,
even
though
they
only
remove
parking
minimum
in
certain
areas
of
their
city,
but
they
have
their
other
policy
directions
such
as
they
have
updated
their
vmt
policy
to
allow
for
high
vmt
development
to
contribute
towards
a
bucket
of
funds
that
can
be
used
to
fund
transportation
improvements
or
projects
in
other
areas
of
their
city,
such
as
the
downtown
area.
So
there's
other
policy
efforts
in
play
that
that
allowed
them
to
consider
to
remove
the
parking
minimum
removal
requirements
in
certain
areas
of
the
city.
K
Just
a
little
bit
more,
there
was
a
study
done
in
seattle.
After
the
the
policy
change
there
and
what
was
found
was
parking
was
generally
still
provided,
but
just
less
right.
We
saw
buildings
sites
still
coming
in
and
doing
what
we
think
they
would
do
here
right,
which
is
still
built
parking
into
the
to
the
level
of
need,
and
that
can
be
less
than
the
the
parking
minimums.
Now
that
we're
used
to
now.
A
Okay,
so
my
understanding
is
that
for
a
lot
of
these
projects,
in
order
just
to
get
financing,
they're
they're
required
by
the
by
the
banks
or
whoever
they're
getting
their
financing
from
to
have
a
certain
level
minimum
level
of
parking,
regardless
of
what
city
policies
are.
Is
that
an
accurate
statement.
F
Yeah,
that's
correct.
We've
been
in
conversation
with
developers
and
you
know
so
developers
in
large
part
because
the
people
that
finance
their
development
they're
not
they're,
trying
to
minimize
risk
right.
So
when
they
build
a
building,
they
don't
want
to
be
a
pioneer
in
terms
of
reducing
parking,
they're
really
looking
at
well.
What
is
what
is
the
market
here?
What
do
people
want
in
terms
of
the
availability
of
parking
and
then
they'll
require
the
developer
if
they're
going
to
finance
their
project
to
put
that
level
of
parking?
F
And
you
know
with
the
idea
that
if
the
project
doesn't
succeed
because
it
doesn't
have
parking,
then
the
people
that
finance
that
end
up
with
a
bankrupt
project
so
yeah.
So
that's
that's
very
much
the
case.
We
we've
seen
in
the
bay
area,
including
san
jose
projects
that
have
proposed
no
parking
and
have
been
approved
from
no
parking,
and
we
know
the
word
on
the
street
is
that
you
know
they
had
trouble
financing
them.
A
K
We're
still
ramses
video
dot,
I'm
still
considering
exactly
how
to
manage
that
portion.
The
way
that
we
have
it
current
5-1
policy
and
the
way
that
we
implement.
That
is
that
there
is
monitoring
of
tdm
measures,
especially
if
someone
uses
a
trip
cap-
and
we
do
have
measures
built
in
there
that
do
annual
monitoring
for
a
certain
amount
of
time.
And
if
continued
success
is
found,
monitoring
then
slows
down.
K
So
first
three
years
say
we
ask
for
a
minor
report
and
then,
if
those
are
all
successful,
then
we
ask
for
a
report
every
three
or
so
many
years
and
then
there's
a
compliance
mechanism
that
gives
development
so
much
time,
and
I
don't
remember
the
exact
period
but
leave
it
six
to
nine
months
to
come
back
into
compliance
with
that,
and
although
we
do
make
sure
that
we
allow
them
to
be
adjustable
right
now.
The
point
of
tdm
is
not
that
they
do
the
tnm.
It's
actually
to
reduce
trips
right,
and
so
you
can.
K
What
are
you
monitoring
and
how
are
you
ensuring
that
the
right
things
are
happening
so
we're,
as
we've
been
given
a
little
more
time
here,
to
write
the
ordinance
by
the
end
of
the
year,
we're
still
figuring
out
exactly
what
the
monitoring
maintenance
compliance
regime
will
be.
But
those
are
the
thoughts
that
we've
had
already
put
into
policy.
A
So
if
they,
if
they're
not
in
compliance,
there's
really
no
no
recourse
that
we
have
we're,
not
we're
not
going
to
find
them
more.
K
In
current
policy,
there
is
a
fine
for
non-compliance
equal
to
the
vmt
non-reduction.
We
haven't
applied
that
here
yet
and
we're
still
thinking
through
exactly
how
to
do
that.
We'll
see.
F
I
mean
the
tdm
measures
will
be
part
of
their
permit,
so
if
they've,
so
you
know
in
monitoring,
if
they're
not
achieving
the
tdm
goals,
I
think
what
we're
thinking
about
is
they
have
flexibility.
If
hey
these
things
aren't
working
want
to
change,
it
they'll
be
flexible
to
change
them,
but
they
have
to
hit
their
goal,
so
our
intent
is
not
to
take
away
their
permits.
A
They
alluded
to
where
there
seems
to
be
some
type
of
disconnect,
with
the
outreach
that
you've
done
and
the
feedback
that
you've
gotten
from
the
community
and
feedback
that
they're
getting
from
certain
parts
of
the
community
about
the
concern
about.
You
know,
lack
of
available
parking
now
and
how
the
situation
is
going
to
get
worse.
So
can
you
kind
of
help
me
work
through
where
the
disconnect
is
in
terms
of
what
you've
done
in
terms
of
your
outreach
process
and
and
what
they're
hearing
from
their
constituents
and.
F
Well,
I'll,
let
my
colleagues
jump
in,
but
I'll
say
we
have
done
because
of
the
feedback
we
were
hearing.
We
did.
We
did
engage
luna
and
vigilation
to
do
outreach
specifically
to
those
people
that
in
those
communities,
so
I
just
yeah.
So
what
they're
experiencing
really
is
an
issue
is
a
result
of
the
housing
crisis
and
an
existing
condition,
and
so
I
think
so,
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
take
a
different
look.
F
I
would
say
you
know
parallel
or
different
process
understand
some
of
the
things
that
can
be
done
to
solve
an
existing
problem.
There
are
some,
you
know
things
that
that
we
definitely
can
explore.
Some
of
them
are
suggested
in
the
memos.
Actually,
I
think,
we're
looking
so.
F
What
we're
talking
about
here
really
is
newer
development
coming
in
or
people
occupying
existing
spaces
for
businesses,
and
our
sense
of
it
is
if
there
isn't
parking
in
a
neighborhood
that
when
someone
is
building
a
new
development
or
trying
to
occupy
existing
business
or
space
that
they
are
going
to
ensure
that
they
have
the
parking
to
meet
to
meet
the
needs
of
their
customers.
So
what
we're?
F
Looking
at
the
tdm
approach
is
how
can
we
build
a
more
multimodal
system
and
provide
provide
measures
that
will
help
people
get
around
in
other
ways
besides
just
driving,
and
so
in
our
outreach
we
did
reach
out
through
moon
and
vegetation
identify
what
would
be
the
type
of
tdm
measures
that
would
help
these
communities
with
their
daily
transportation
needs
and
we're
exploring,
including
those
on
the
list
of
options.
A
developer
could
provide
and
exploring
ways.
We
could
give
those
a
heavier
weight.
F
K
You
know
taking
away
parking
minimums
developers
like
this
idea
and
neighborhoods
might
not
right,
and
so
the
reason
we
added
tdm
to
this
effort,
but
specifically
so
that
developers
had
to
add
in
elements
to
actually
live
up
to
the
promise
that
parking
removal
offers
right
so
that
we're
saying
you
can,
you
know,
reduce
your
parking
here,
but
we
need
you
to
do
something
for
the
community
as
you're
doing
this,
and
so
these
investments
into
the
transportation
system
that
are
not
car
focused
right.
This
is
transit
passes.
This
is
more
bike
lanes.
K
This
is
more
infrastructure
for
pedestrians.
This
is
more
support
for
folks
who
are
trying
to
get
around
by
these
other
modes.
That's
why
that
tdm
is
there
in
the
first
place?
That's
why,
when
we
went
to
nrdc
to
get
funding
for
this
effort,
we
insisted
that
tdm
come
along
with
it.
A
Obviously,
I'm
on
on
the
memo
with
the
the
mayor
and
my
colleagues,
so
I'm
supporting
eliminating
the
minimums,
but
there's
there's
a
a
concern.
I
know
from
my
residents
that
I
talked
to,
and
you
know,
I'm
kind
of
picking
it
up
from
some
of
my
council
colleagues
that
there's
some
skepticism
on
changing
behavior
through
tdm.
A
K
Yeah
great
thanks,
councilmember
ramses,
madu
dot
again
so
one
I'll
say
this
is
not
being
done
in
isolation,
as
michael
mentioned,
in
the
beginning
of
the
presentation,
this
is
being
done
along
with
a
lot
of
other
things
on
the
land.
D
K
Well
but
other
than
the
car,
we
have
a
recently
adopted
bike
plan
that
helps
us
draw
a
much
more
robust
network
of
of
all
ages
and
abilities.
Bicycle
for
infrastructure,
we're
building
out
we're
we're
finishing
off
many
area
transportation
plans
that
find
all
of
the
smaller
things
that
need
to
be
done
within
different
neighborhoods
to
create
the
possibility
for
people
to
change
their
behavior,
we're
not
going
to
change
behavior
by
tdm
alone.
A
A
Based
on
how
we
build
out,
you
know
our
cities
and
that
it
can
impact
your
behavior
and
change
your
mindset.
So
I'm
a
an
example
of
that,
and
so
also
you,
you
said
that
you're
receptive
to
councilmember
esparza's
memo
in
terms
of
doing
some
more
outreach
in
and
making
those
connections
with
the
community
and
getting
that
kind
of
feedback
to
really
one
understand
their
concerns
and
allay
their
concerns
and
provide
them
with
data
and
facts
and
more
information
to
to
address
their
opposition
or
reservations.
K
We're
always
happy
to
do
more
outreach
and
education
on
what
we're
trying
to
do.
A
F
Yeah,
I
mean
so
just
some
clarity,
so
there
are
requirements
for
ada
parking.
Currently
we're
not
taking
those
away.
Just
to
be
clear,
though,
what
that
means,
when
you
provide
parking
there
are
rules
about
how
many
spaces
would
have
to
be
ada
so
that
we're
not
proposing
we're
not
proposing
to
take
those
away.
F
There
could
be
situations
like
you'll,
see
it
old
off,
corner
markets,
or
you
know,
retail
and
around
this
neighborhood
downtown,
where
they
don't
have
any
parking
at
all,
and
if
there
were
development
like
that,
if
you're
not
providing
parking,
you
don't
have
to
make
spaces
that
you're
not
providing
ada,
but
since
we're
anticipating
most
development
provides
some
level
parking.
There
would
still
be
requirements
for
ad
that
some
of
the
spaces
would
be
accessible,
we're
not
proposing
to
change
that.
Okay,
so
that
wouldn't
change
yeah.
That
would
not
we're
not
proposing
to
change
that.
A
C
D
Okay
motion.
Second:
let's
go
to
resume
screen
council
member
mayhem.
R
Thanks
mayor
and
thank
you
vice
versa,
jones,
I.
R
The
questions
you
were
just
asking
and
you're,
including
my
memo
and
thanks
to
staff,
by
the
way
for
all
of
your
work
on
on
all
three
of
the
items
that
that
we've
heard
together
here
this
evening.
I
you
know.
I
appreciate
that.
I
think
you
know
at
least
what
I
heard
in
the
staff
presentations
was
an
acknowledgement
that
these
are
ambitious,
aspirational,
forward-looking
policies
that
are
really
meant
to
facilitate
a
transition
that
I
think
we
all.
I
think
we
all
know
we
need
to
support
and
we
need
to
help
make
happen.
R
I
also
think
it's
important
that
we
acknowledge
that
it's
good
we're
going
to
have
bumps
in
the
road
they're
going
to
be
real
challenges.
I
think
councilmember
davis
was
very
right
to
raise.
Some
of
those
challenges
doesn't
mean
we
shouldn't
move
forward,
but
I
think
you
know
the
dose
of
reality
is
at
least
from
my
perspective,
very
welcome,
and
I
think,
similarly,
on
parking,
you
know,
I
think
maybe
the
most
important
point,
to
my
mind
at
least,
is
that
we
know
that
not
all
neighborhoods
are
going
to
experience
this
policy
change
the
same.
R
I
think
the
reason
we
are
pursuing
this
change
is
because
many,
if
not
most
parts
of
the
city
are
over
parked
and
there's
a
chronic
underutilization
of
parking
and
we're
right
to
recognize
that
there
are
all
kinds
of
negative
externalities
for
our
community.
Due
to
that,
I
also
think
the
flip
side
is.
R
There
are
absolutely
some
neighborhoods,
some
of
which
I
have
personally
walked
through
recently,
where
the
opposite
is
true,
where
people
are
literally
parking,
a
few
blocks
from
their
home
and
walking
every
day
and
really
frustrated,
and
it's
just
one
more
burden
added
on
to
their
daily
experience.
That's
hard
enough,
and
I
and
I
do
think
we
need
to
recognize
that
to
me.
R
If
the
tdm
strategies,
as
I
personally
suspect,
don't
meaningfully
move
the
needle
on
how
many
people
are
taking
a
car
or
to
get
around
so
I
just.
I
just
think
we
all
need
to
acknowledge
that.
There's
a
lot
of
uncertainty
here
there
are
going
to
be
some
neighborhoods,
probably
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
neighborhoods,
where
the
impacts
may
be
disproportionate.
So
I
just
I
I
just
hope,
as
we
continue.
R
This
conversation
come
back
with
move
san,
jose
that
we're
just
being
sensitive
to
that
and
willing
to
take
another
look
at
the
residential
permit
parking
program
and
the
many
other
solutions
that
aren't
maybe
easy
or
fun
to
implement,
but
maybe
important
for
protecting
quality
of
life
for
folks
who,
frankly,
are
kind
of
living
on
the
edge
in
our
city
and
don't
need
one
more
burden
added
to
their
daily
experience.
So
I
anyway
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
I
appreciate
the
direction
we're
heading
in.
R
I
think
it
is
the
right
direction,
but
I
also
want
us
to
be
willing
to
acknowledge
that
the
impacts
may
not
be
so
great
for
some
members
of
our
community
and
I'm
hopeful
that
we
can
find
ways
to
mitigate
those.
So
look
forward
to
continuing
the
conversation
and
I'll
obviously
be
supporting
the
motion.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
council
member
jimenez,.
S
Mayor,
thank
you.
I
think
councilmember
cohen
had
his
hand
up
first,
I
can
wait
my
turn.
If
you
like
I'll
go,
go
ahead,
go
ahead!
Sure!
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Let's
see
so
mike
sorry
about
that,
michael.
I
do
have
some
questions
just
about
the
process
so
tonight
we're
giving
you
some
we're
giving
you
all
some
feedback,
thoughts,
ideas
and
such
you
all
are
gonna,
go
back
and
draft
an
ordinance
and
then
bring
that
back
to
us
correct.
S
And
so,
and
so
the
one
of
the
questions
I
have,
I
guess,
or
just
to
throw
something
out
there,
and
I
suspect
that
you've
maybe
thought
about
this
already,
but
curious
as
to
how
you
think
some
my
example
how
it
would
play
out
if
and
when
we
get
the
ordinance
going
and
and
also
hoping
you
consider
it
as
relates
to
things
that
may
come
about
because
of
what
we're
doing
today,
and
so
as
an
example
there's
you
know
there
are
projects
around
this
city
that
have
massive
surface
surface
parking
lots,
for
example,
there's
some
in
my
district
and
so
let's
just
say,.
S
S
They
were
over
parked
initially
when
they
built
that
out
many
years
ago,
and
so,
if
they
attempted
to
then
move
forward
and
maybe
eliminate
some
of
the
parking,
do
you
envision
there
being
a
process
by
which
you
know,
I'm
not
sure
if
grandfathered
in
is
the
correct
term,
but
by
which
they
would
need,
they
would
be
able
to
adjust
their
site
to
accommodate
or
to
be
sort
of
in
line
with
the
new
policies
that
we're
pushing
and
passing.
F
B
C
F
Yeah,
if
they
have
an
existing
entitlement
or
approved,
permit
they,
so
they
they
would
then
have
the
option
to
come
back
and
reapply
and
and
modify
their
permit
to
conform
to
our
new
code,
but
they
aren't
necessarily
just
couldn't
just
get
it
get
away
with
the
get
rid
of
the
parking
right.
So
if
they
have
a
lot
of
excess
parking,
they
very
likely
have
a
permit.
That
said,
this
is
how
much
parking
you
need
to
have
to
perform
and
they
probably
I'm
guessing.
C
S
Yeah
my
assumption
wasn't
that
they
were
going
to
be
able
to
go
out
and
just
do
it
outright.
But
I
guess
what
I'm
curious
about
is
in
the
ordinance
that
you
all
are
going
to
draft.
Do
you
anticipate
that
as
a
possibility,
and
if
so,
do
you
intend
to
include
a
path
for
developments
that
seek
to
go
down
that
route.
F
Yeah
I
mean
we
are
interested
yes,
so
we're
we
are
drafting
a
policy.
Interestingly,
anticipating
that
property
owners
or
developers
could
be
interested
in
developing
on
portions
of
under
utilized
spotlight
lot
spaces
on
their
on
their
on
their
site.
Yes,
but
it's
not,
I
mean
again,
if
you're,
building
something
new
and
you're,
changing
your
landscape
plan
and
etc,
and
so
forth.
You
can't
just
do
it.
F
S
For
what
you
just
described,
there'd
be
a
process
for
that
as
well
right,
they
would
yeah.
I
guess
my
point
is
just
simply
that,
however,
any
of
these
projects,
whether
they
want
to
you,
know
whether
they
want
to
expand
their
footprint
of
a
commercial
building,
industrial,
whatever
it
may
be,
there's
going
to
be
a
process
in
the
ordinance
you
all
are
drafting.
That
would
allow
existing
buildings
and
owners
of
property
to
then
expand
and
and
essentially
reduce,
reduce
their
party
correct.
S
Okay,
all
right,
and
do
you
envision
the
same
thing
happening,
say,
for
example,
in
strip
malls
that
obviously
are
all
around
the
city
in
which
maybe
an
extension
of
a
building.
You
know
the
owner
wants
to
extend
a
building
and
gobble
up
a
few
spaces.
Same
type
of
scenario
would
take
place
in
that
circumstance,
correct.
F
Yes,
correct,
I
mean.
N
Yeah
yeah,
this
is
martina
davis.
Division
manager
with
planning
short
answer
is
yes,
absolutely
this.
This
policy
would
would
you
know
it
anticipates
that
it
would
remove
the
mandatory
minimum
parking
requirements
so
that
they
could
now
look
at
their
parking
lot
and
you
know
maybe
expand
into
it.
So
yes
is
the
short
and
long
answer.
S
B
And
as
I
suspected
councilmember
jimenez
asked
one
of
my
questions,
that's
why
I
let
him
go
first,
the
good
work
just
to
follow
up
on
that,
though
you
know
we
it's
not
hypothetical.
We
have
a
prominent
business
in
north
san
jose.
That's
had
asked
us
two
years
ago
or
a
year
and
a
year
ago,
if
they
could
remove
parking
and
put
in
landscaping,
and
the
planning
department
told
them
no,
because
they
wouldn't
meet
the
parking
minimums
and
they
were
frustrated
that
we
hadn't
yet
changed
the
policy.
B
The
other
thing
I've
been
thinking
of
is
it's
not
just
about
whether
they
do
it
voluntarily,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
these
large
parking
lots
that
are
over
parked
that
they're,
probably
not
going
people
aren't
going
to
have
the
resources
to
tear
out
concrete
and
replace,
but
I'm
wondering
if
the
city
through
our
climate,
smart
program,
might
actually
or
open
space
program
might
actually
find
ways
to
get
grants
or
other
ways
to
help
some
of
these
shopping
centers.
B
With
way
too
much
parking
repurpose
some
of
their
land,
I
have
a
one
in
our
district
that
there's
an
area
in
the
back
of
that
parking
lot.
That
has
never
had
a
car
in
it
and
just
kind
of
wonder
about
this
paved
over
land.
That
you
know
is
just
going
to
sit
there,
and
so
are
there
any
thoughts
about
how
this
policy
might
help
us
get
some
resources
to
to
solve
some
of
those
problems.
F
I
was
going
to
lean
on
her.
Yes,.
F
B
You
know
we,
as
we
know
we
have
two
times
as
many
parking
places
as
we
have
residents
in
the
city,
which
means
potentially
half
of
the
parking
spaces
in
our
city
are
going
unused
at
any
given
time.
K
Thank
you,
council
member
rams,
madu
d.o.t.
We
are
looking
at
that
in
various
different
ways,
within
the
strategies
being
proposed
in
the
move
san
jose
plan,
we
are
looking
at
things
like
unbundling,
as
well
as
shared
use
parking
as
policy
elements.
We
already
do
some
of
this
downtown.
In
particular,
we
have
developments
that
are
looking
to
build
contracts
with
the
city
to
use
city
parking
garages,
though
that
space
is
actually
starting
to
run
out,
because
we're
we've
run
enough
contracts
against
that.
So
we're
very
open
to
that
ourselves.
K
We
are
trying
to
work
with
developers
to
build
themselves
into
those
kinds
of
parking
shared
models.
We,
I
will
say
a
lot
of
developers
for
the
reason
they
want
to
build
their
their
their
parking
for
their
tenants
a
lot
of
the
time
and
they
they
push
against
sharing
parking,
but
as
we
can
the
more
we
can
loosen
that
up
and
the
more
we
can
create
policies
around
incentivizing
that
we
could
get
more
into
that.
So
we
are
definitely
thinking
about
that.
K
You
were
also
asking
about
the
technology
to
do
that.
This
is
something
we've
looked
at
various
ways:
they
do
demand
based
parking
pricing
like
they
do
in
san
francisco.
Well,
we've
looked
into
that
our
current
estimate.
Our
current
research
has
shown
this
to
be
more
expensive
than
it
is
worthwhile
at
the
moment
because
of
the
much
it
costs
to
set
up
and
run
a
system
like
that.
K
N
But
I
can
add
to
that
on
the
sharing
parking
because
absent
incentivizing.
I
suspect
that
this
I
do
think
this
will
actually
potentially
remove
an
existing
barrier
from
shared
parking
that
we
have
right
now.
You
know
you'll
hear
businesses,
they
say
hey.
I
want
to
move
a
restaurant
into
here.
It
needs
more
parking
for
our
code.
N
They
say:
oh
yeah,
I
talked
to
the
people
down
the
street
they're
willing
to
lease
me
some
parking
spaces
for
the
city
to
approve
that
that's
a
special
use
permit
it's
quite
expensive
and
time
consuming
and
honestly,
when
you
talk
to
people
about
it,
I
would
say
most
people
just
say
you
know
what
forget
it
never
mind,
I'll
look
for
another
space
with
enough
parking,
so
we
have
that
barrier
now
that
I
think,
is
actually
stopping
people
from
doing
shared
parking
and
moving
into
spaces
using
shared
parking
that
this
would
actually
remove.
N
B
Great,
that's
that's
good
news
and
I
think
incentives
will
be
important
too.
An
example
is
at
the
various
abort
urban
village,
where
developers,
planning,
residential
and
business
and
they've
said
they
want
to
have
separate
parking
for
both,
because
businesses
want
their
own
parking
and-
and
I
was
frustrated
and
want
them
to
think
more
creatively
about
how
they
can
share
the
parking
that
they
build.
B
The
question
I
have
is,
I
think
others
have
asked
this
question
about
how
this
is
going
to
affect
neighborhoods
that
exist,
so
new
construction
that
comes
in
will
have
fewer
parking
spaces
than
people
expect
them
to
have
and
they're
going
to
see
the
numbers
and
they're
going
to
say
wait
a
minute
in
my
house
we
have
three
adults.
We
have
two
and
a
half
cars
on
average
per
in
our
neighborhood
right
per
house.
K
Thank
you,
councilmember
ramses,
dot,
again
absolutely
and
I
think,
there's
a
few
different
layers
here
right
one.
We
are
seeing
changes
in
behavior,
generational
behavior,
purchasing
behavior
around
vehicles
and
ownership
right.
We
are
seeing
younger
generations,
buy
less
vehicles
and
have
less
vehicles
in
their
homes,
so
that
that
is,
you
know
the
study
truth.
K
We
are
also
again,
as
I
was
saying
earlier-
we're
trying
to
set
up
an
environment
where
we're
not
only
reducing
or
removing
parking
requirements,
we're
also
doing
the
tdm
to
incentivize
people
and
we're
also,
at
the
same
time,
trying
to
build
out
the
infrastructure
that
people
want
to
use
when
those
incentives
are
in
place.
So
I
think
we
are
seeing
some
of
that
behavioral
change
generationally
and
we're
doing
all
the
other
elements.
We
need
to
try
to
create
the
environment.
Incentives
to
get
us
into
this
new
place.
K
K
So
I
I
won't
put
a
promise
on
that
for
a
dot,
but
we
will
return
with
kind
of
what
we're
doing
with
that
program
when
we're
bringing
the
ordinance
to
council
later.
This
fall.
D
All
right,
thank
you,
councilmember
all
right.
I
I
just
had
a
couple
more
questions
appreciate
all
the
good
questions
have
been
posed.
D
One
is
this:
if
we
go
to
slide
29
the
one
with
the
four
options
or
the
four
categories
and
the
30
options
that
are
suggested
extra
would
be
providing
developers
with
different
options.
I
always
conceive
of
these
options
as
being
things
they
would
invest
in
that
provide
mobility
options
for
residents
right,
but
I'm
a
little
confused
in
the
category
of
land
use.
D
D
G
Yeah,
thank
you
and
please,
please
pull
out
the
slide
for
the
parking
and
tdm
on
slide.
29
yeah!
Thank
you.
G
This
is
wilson
from
dlt,
and
so
there
are,
I
think,
five
or
six
strategies
related
to
land
use
that
are
part
of
the
the
manual
that
can
address
vmt
reduction
and
also
promoting
a
mode
shift
to
other
means
of
transportation,
and
the
reason
is
because,
as
development
is
interested
in
building
more
density
like
more
stories,
his
research
has
shown
us
that
it
brings
people
together
and
being
able
to
create
an
environment
that
people
interact
or
promote
more
interactions.
G
Among
people
may
result
in
situations
where
people
can
find
ways
to
get
around
together,
meaning
that,
like
maybe
they
have
some
children
going
to
the
same
school
and
they
can
compute
together
or
they
go
to
the
major
destinations
and
they
can
go
to
the
transit
and
take
buses
together.
Things
of
that
nature,
so
density
do
bring
people
together
and,
and
therefore
you
know,
and
also
with
mixed
use,
it's
about
bringing
the
amenities
near
there.
D
Yeah,
I
understand
mixed
use.
If
you
have
a
ground
floor,
grocery
store
that'd
be
ideal
right.
Everybody
would
love
this
to
walk
to
that.
I'm
guessing!
That's
not
true
for
quite
as
true
for
many
other
amenities.
The
density
piece,
though
it
still
doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense
to
me,
is
we're
really
talking
about.
F
Maybe
I
can
answer
that
so
one
of
the
challenges
we
have
with
a
city
like
san
jose
when
it's
low
density,
you
need
a
certain
critical
mass
sort
of
a
people
or
customer
shed.
If
you
will
in
a
small
area
to
support
businesses
as
the
city
gets
more
dense,
you
can
start
to
support
more
businesses
and
closer
proximity,
and
then
that
enables
people
to
maybe
walk
or
ride
a
bike
to
them.
I.
D
Okay,
third
point,
and
so
I
just
want
us
to
be
like
as
real
as
we
can
be
with
these
options
so
that
when
we're
standing
in
front
of
the
200
angry
residents,
we
can
say
something
that
is
credible
to
all
of
us.
I
guess
you
get
my
point.
D
I
also
think
it's
really
important
as
we
look
at
these
options,
we're
in
a
rapidly
changing
world
in
terms
of
technology
and
markets,
and
these
are
going
to
need
to
be
constantly
re-vetted
in
terms
of
how
we
allocate
points,
what
the
costs
are
going
to
be
the
developers
I'm
a
little
concerned
that
developers
are
probably
going
to
find
the
lowest
cost
path
to
get
the
maximum
number
of
points
and
that
won't
necessarily
align
with
maximizing
mobility
options
for
residents.
D
And
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
sort
of
review
from
us
and
and
I'm
hoping
that
there's
it
was
forming
out
there
nationally,
maybe
some
constellation
of
tdm
experts
who
are
saying
hey,
we're
watching
at
the
stock
rise
and
fall
in
each
of
these
tdm
options,
and
this
is
how
you
should
allocate.
Do
you
see
that
happening
at
this
point?
Yeah
ram.
K
Says:
dot
yeah
apps
there's
a
lot
of
research
around
tdm,
I
mean
just
tons
and
tons
of
that's
one
of
the
most.
You
know
quite
a
studied
area,
so
we
are
getting
a
lot
of
information
around
this,
the
state
actually,
as
a
document,
they
update
every
few
years,
that's
kind
of
the
bible
for
california
in
terms
of
tdm
measures,
so
there
is
that
there's
a
lot
of
cities
trying
to
share
information.
K
San
francisco's
tdm
program,
for
example,
actually
requires
developers
to
turn
in
surveys
and
all
of
this
stuff
as
part
of
their
reports.
We
probably
won't
do
that
because
we
don't
want
to
add
that
much
burden
to
developers
or
ourselves
honestly,
but
so
yes,
there's
a
lot
of
information
coming
in
that
way.
How
do
we
keep
it
fresh
right?
We
always
one
we
always
add
in
a
other
as
as
proposed
and
have
a
process
for
allowing
for
those
new
proposals,
and
then
we
would
kind
of
amend
our
process
over
time.
K
N
K
Does
take
staff
time
and
work
to
update
the
list,
so
that's
partly
why
you
add
a
little
bit
of
a
and
as
as
defined
kind
of
piece
there
to
kind
of
allow
the
conversation
to
move
forward
and
I'll
just
add
one
other
thing
my
mind
will
remember
it.
D
Think
the
points
will
take
and
then
you
know
I
really
appreciate
the
the
model
we're
moving
toward
it's
the
right
model.
It's
going
to
require
a
lot
of
tweaking,
because
I
know
we're
not
going
to
get
it
right.
It's
going
to
be
impossible
to
get
it
right,
the
first
time
and
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
rethinking,
but
I
appreciate
this
direction.
I
think
it's
the
right
direction
by
the
way.
D
Just
one
data
point,
I
just
talked
to
a
builder:
it's
building
a
identity,
mixed
use,
project
cost
for
him
to
build
parking
in
a
multi-level
project,
100
000
space,
so
construction
costs
are
killing
everybody
and
parking's
no
different.
D
D
I
question
appears
on
one
of
the
subsequent
slides
to
this
one
that
we're
only
really
intending
to
require
tdm
on
relatively
larger
projects
like
more
than
25
units
and,
as
I
think
about
a
lot
of
the
challenging
infill
projects,
we
got
out
there
that
come
up
in
neighborhoods,
where
you
know
someone
tries
to
fit
in
nine
units
here
or
12
units
there.
It's
kind
of
a
context
where
a
tdm
plan
would
be
really
helpful,
because
neighbors
are
probably
more
vociferous
than
other
ever
about
that.
D
K
Thanks
ramps,
gonna
do
d.o.t
absolutely
so
what
are
these
limits?
Where
are
they
coming
from?
So
these
are
the
limits
we
set
when
we
passed
council
policy
5-1
that
transportation
analysis
policy
and
we
put
these
limits
in
so
we
weren't
burdening
smaller
infill
developments
with
more
process
cost
with
more
consultant
costs
with
more
just
time
and
money
they
would
have
to
spend
to
get
those.
K
That
number
is
actually
different
per
neighborhood
right,
I
mean
a
neighborhood
of
total
single-family
homes
coming
in
with
a
25-unit
multi-family
home,
a
multi-family
project
is
actually
kind
of
you
know
could
be
kind
of
impactful
right,
but
in
you
know
overall,
we
figured
these
were
the
right
numbers
to
bring
in.
That
was
the
discussion
that
happened
a
few
years
ago.
I
can
try
to
dredge
up
some
of
some
of
the
details
from
that
conversation
yeah.
K
D
If
we
think
what
we're
doing
is
moving
into
a
world
where
we're
no
longer
requiring
developers
to
pay
to
the
into
the
consultant
industrial
complex,
if
this
is
really
going
to
be
simple
and
they
can
sort
of
pick
their
their
options
to
get
to
their
point
total
and
that's
it,
why
wouldn't
we
say?
Look
all
builders
got
to
do
it
because
you
don't
need
to
have
be
super
sophisticated
you're
just
going
to
pick
whatever
the
best
cost
option
is
for
you.
K
F
D
We
will
all
right.
Thank
you,
yeah.
I
appreciate
the
direction
it's
the
right
direction.
I
do
think.
Ultimately,
this
is
going
to
come
down,
as
you
suggested,
to
the
lenders
and
we're
probably
only
gonna
get
real
progress
when
lenders
start
deciding
they'll
demand
less
parking,
so
hopefully
we
can
get
there
all
right.
Any
other
questions.

Not

Yes,
that
was
parallels

both
voting
hi.
D
Thank
you
for
the
translation,
tony
okay
item.
8.1
is
thanks.
Everybody,
okay,
8.1
is
a
public
hearing
on
the
downtown
business
improvement,
district
budget
report
and
assessments
for
fiscal
year
2223
and,
ironically
enough.
There's
a
note
here
that
says
it's
not
to
be
heard
before
1
30
p.m.
D
So
we
managed
to
satisfy
that
requirement
lucky
for
you
all.
I
have
a
script
to
read
so
enjoy
the
script.

Hi
hi
claire
beekman
here
you're
actually
going
to
be
talking
about
items
of
2022
and
into
2023.
I
hope
it
can
be
a
very
open
and
accountable
process
with
small
business
owners
of
downtown
san
jose
and
it
could
be
a
good
learning
process.
You
know
a
simple
direct
honesty
and
items
on
how
to
work
into
the
next
year
can
give
everybody
a
good
sense
of
what
to
expect,
because
I
think
we're
still.
D
Okay,
we're
gonna
close
the
public
hearing
now
all
right,
the
protests
are
clearly
less
than
50
percent,
so
the
business
owners
in
the
downtown
bid
have
supported
the
proposed
levy
of
assessments.
Thank
you,
business
owners.
I
will
now
ask
the
council
to
consider
adoption
the
resolution
approving
the
budget
report
and
levying
assessments
in
the
downtown
bid
for
fiscal
year
22-23.
B
D
All
right
item
10.1
is
land
use,
consent
calendar.
D
There,
any
member
of
the
public
like
to
speak
all
right.
Let's
vote.

Hi
claire
beekman
here
I
hope
I
don't
start
breaking
up
again
just
I
hope
it
can
be
open
and
accountable
process
with
the
small
downtown
area
into
2023.
That
can
be
really
interesting
for
us.
We're
trying
to
learn
that
subject
matter,
it's
new
to
us.
We
don't
quite
know
we
don't
quite
have
it
together
and
what
2023
will
be.
This
could
be
a
good
clue
for
us
what
to
expect
so
good
luck
in
those
efforts.

Hi,
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
finish
off
what
I
was
trying
to
say
earlier.
I
was
just
saying
like
this:
in
the
black
and
brown
community,
we
love,
we
love
our
gas
powered
vehicles.
I
suggest
people
go
to
car
shows
just
to
if
they
don't
believe
me.
I
think
that
designing
homes
without
garages
and
parking
spaces-
it's
like
it's
it's,
it's
not
good
for
it's
like
a.
