B
A
C
Public
information
manager,
Office
of
Economic
Development,
we're
happy
to
announce
this
month
and
to
amplify
the
report
from
our
small
business
Ally
program
that
this
mighty
team
of
two
has
managed
to
interface
with
1,100
small
new
businesses
and
actually
providing
hands-on
support
to
800
of
them
for
fiscal
year
1819,
as
well
as
giving
numerous
public
presentations
and
participating
in
workshops
throughout
the
city.
It's
an
amazing
amazing
program
that
we're
very
proud
of.
C
We
also
have
a
spotlight
on
Rockwell
Automation,
which
has
built
a
new
demonstration
center
downtown
and
they
are
providing
close-up,
looks
at
how
electric
vehicles
are
going
to
be
outfitted
with
technologies
that
are
being
augmented
by
virtual
reality
and
augmented
reality
and
pretty
much
portends.
The
future
of
vehicles
that
we're
seeing
with
a
whole
cluster
of
other
businesses
in
San
Jose.
So
we're
very
excited
to
have
that
facility
downtown
and
one
of
our
business
development
officers.
C
Mcfarley
did
a
Q&A
with
the
with
the
leader
of
their
global
business
in
electric
vehicles
and
that's
going
to
be
blog
post.
We
were
excited
to
have
two
new
Marriott
properties,
opening
up
in
San
Jose
in
the
Alviso
area,
and
these
are
a
couple
of
hotels
that
now
can
boast
Bayview's,
which
is
unusual
for
San
Jose.
But
they
look
out
over
the
San
Francisco
Bay
from
the
point
right
on
the
corner
there
in
LV.
C
Multi-Faceted
talent
there
checkmate
back
the
boxing
unless
San
Fernando
is
an
interesting
facility
that
has
the
hard
science
of
boxing
with
a
lot
of
technology
and
a
lot
of
kind
of
personal
fitness
and
coaching
elements
built
into
it.
So
that
should
be
an
interesting
addition
to
downtown
south
of
downtown
in
the
Almaden
shopping
center,
we
had
the
exciting
replacement
of
a
Starbucks
with
a
very
homegrown
local
business
called
Spectre
coffee.
This
is
the
brainchild
of
two
children
of
immigrants,
who
both
were
in
love
with
the
the
Laura
legend
and
excitement
of
coffee
and
councilmember.
C
A
Right
any
questions
from
my
colleagues,
they're
gonna
show
us
any
steps.
I
I
do
have
a
one.
You
know
in
my
district
I
know
it's
very
south
and
probably
a
little
bit
out
of
your
way,
but
we
had
a
grand
opening
for
a
restaurant
called
sabores
of
the
valley
and
it's
a
breakfast
place
in
the
via
Valente
shopping
center.
That
is
a
shopping
center.
That
is
very
difficult
to
get
things
going.
A
C
D
Good
afternoon
to
the
committee,
my
name
is
Carrie
Adams
had
her
I'm,
the
director
of
cultural
affairs
and
I'm
here
today
with
Karen
Park
who's,
our
senior
art
program
manager,
who
also
manages
the
contract
with
SJSU
to
operate,
maintain
the
hammer
theatre
I'm
here
with
Shannon
Miller,
who
is
the
dean
of
arts
and
humanities
at
SJSU
and
Chris
Burrell?
Who
is
the
executive
director
of
the
hammer,
Theatre
Centre,
so
we're
here
today
to
give
you
a
your
semi-annual
updates
on
our
partnership.
D
Basically,
it's
been
about
four
and
a
half
years
that
we've
been
partnering
to
essentially
reuse,
this
very
important
cultural
asset.
So
we're
here
to
give
you
an
update
about
how
that
partnership
is
going.
What's
the
programming
and
also
I,
should
acknowledge
that
we
have
Dan
Keller
with
us
today
as
well,
who
is
with
the
Department
of
Public
Works?
Who
can
speak
to
any?
You
know:
maintenance
related
to
the
facility
itself,
so
it's
been
a
very
successful
partnership
and
at
this
time,
I'm
actually
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Karen
Park
who's
gonna
lead
the
presentation.
E
So,
looking
at
this
indicators
of
success,
thus
far,
both
city
staff
and
San
Jose
state
leadership
are
very
pleased
with
the
progress
of
the
partnership
to
date
and,
as
I
said,
we
expected
for
the
4th
the
proposal
for
a
longer-term
agreement
in
the
fall
or
in
the
spring.
The
Sante
hammer
has
become
a
nexus
between
the
University
and
the
community,
providing
a
dynamic
and
diversified
programming
that
reflects
the
unique
cultural
characteristics
of
our
community.
E
This
live
theater
has
continued
to
be
an
important
part
of
the
programming
and
that's
what
we
heard
from
the
public,
as
we
were
doing
our
initial
process,
that
that
was
an
important
feature
and
the
university
has
continued
to
honor.
This
arts
and
cultural
groups
have
had
our
accessing
the
venue,
through
tiered
rental
rates,
performances
and
activities
both
inside
the
hammer
and
outside
on
the
plaza,
have
resulted
at
an
estimated
four
million
in
economic
impact
and
that's
through
as
people
come
to
the
downtown
to
spend
money
and
employment
generation.
E
So
I
just
I
want
to
highlight
the
growth
in
audiences.
Since
the
hammer
opened
is
that's
a
key
component
in
the
sustainability,
the
core
business
model
of
San
Jose
state
created
programming's
and
as
a
sponsor
problem.
San
jose
state
sponsored
programming
and
community
rentals
is
proving
successful
in
drawing
audiences.
E
Last
year
over
57,000
people,
an
increase
in
six
percent
from
the
prior
year,
came
to
the
downtown
to
experience
almost
200,
diverse
and
culturally
engaging
performances
at
the
hammer
and
another
point
worth
highlighting
is
the
mix
of
theater
users
at
the
hammer
under
san
jose
state
management.
The
venue
has
become
not
only
a
jewel
showcasing
the
best
of
university
programming,
but
also
venue
that
arts
and
cultural
community
groups
can
present
to
present
their
best
work.
So
you
can
see
almost
90
events.
That's
about
forty
six
percent.
E
That's
the
part
in
the
royal
blue
were
produced
by
arts
organizations
such
as
cynic
West,
jazz,
new
ballet
San
Jose,
Youth
Symphony,
as
well
as
community
groups
such
as
group
of
the
political
lossless
Elks
Lodge
Cristo
Rey
high
school
Evergreen,
School
of
Music
and
Arts
Ballet
Folklorico.
We're
going
to
have
oh,
so
just
a
wide
variety
of
community
organizations
have
been
able
to
access.
E
E
Year
old
facility
and
has
its
share
of
repair
and
maintenance
needs
so
under
the
current
agreement,
San
Jose
State
is
responsible
for
maintenance
and
repairs
inside
the
facility,
and
the
city
is
responsible
for
exterior
maintenance
and
capital
maintenance,
capital
replacement
of
building
systems.
So
last
year
the
city's
capital
investments
focused
on
replacement
of
the
carpet
in
the
auditorium
and
in
the
public
spaces.
E
So
I
don't
know
if
you've
been
there
in
the
last
year,
you'll
notice
the
new
carpet
and
also
ongoing
work
on
the
controls
for
the
HVAC
system,
which
is
part
of
a
larger
phase
project
to
upgrade
the
HVAC
so
that
the
energy
efficiency
is
improved
in
the
building
and
now
nuts
and
bolts
I
want
to
turn
it
over
to
Dean
Miller.
For
the
highlights
of
programming.
F
They
you
very
much
before
Kris
steps
in
and
talks
about
this
season
and
some
of
what
we're
doing
with
our
upcoming
programming
I
wanted
to
take
a
little
bit
of
a
look
back
and
highlight
again
that
range
that
Karen
has
really
been
underscoring
for
us.
What's
really
been
exciting
about
what
we've
done
at
the
hammer
is
to
make
it
so
that
really
every
other
every
night.
F
You
can
ask
yourself
what's
at
the
hammer
tonight
and
it
will
be
a
different
kind
of
thing,
and
that
variety
is
really
testified
to
here,
with
the
highlights
that
we
have
on
the
board.
But
those
highlights
also
continue
to
speak
to
the
ways
in
which
we
are
engaging
both
rental
opportunities,
the
best
of
San
Jose,
State,
University
productions
and
Hammer
presents
so
some
real
highlights.
This
year.
F
For
example,
Jessica
Lange
dance
was
an
opportunity
for
San
Jose
State
students
to
work
with
one
of
the
most
recognized
dance
companies
in
the
country
and
then
have
that
that
performance
done
that
true
performed
twice
for
the
city.
So
it
was
a
very,
very
exciting
opportunity
where
we're
both
supporting
the
educational
mission
of
our
students
at
San.
Jose
State
and
we're
contributing
to
a
range
of
programming
opportunities
for
the
entire
South
Bay,
something
like
Kid
Koala.
F
No
phoneme
must
Falls
really
really
innovative
event
in
which
you
had
a
beloved
to
children's
story
produced
for
you
with
puppets
who
were
filmed
to
the
sound
of
a
string
quartet,
all
coordinated
by
a
DJ
so
was
actually
like
watching
a
film
getting
made
in
front
of
you,
but
seeing
all
its
component
parts.
This
is
a
fascinating
opportunity
for
our
students
and
everything
from
animation
to
to
music,
to
radio,
to
think
about
how
something
going
up
the
hammer
could
help
them
understand
their
own
studies.
F
F
A
spectacular
musical,
really
really
extraordinarily
well
done
and
follows
on
the
heels
of
last
year's
highly
successful
in
the
heights
and
has
really
brought
music
theatre
back
into
our
curriculum,
but
also
has
made
it
a
whole
nother
opportunity
for
seeing
live.
Theater
available
to
the
community
and
the
Bernstein's
mass
produced
by
the
school
of
music
and
dance
was
a
challenging
innovative
piece
of
music.
That
I
got
multiple
people.
F
Writing
me
about
how
exciting
it
was
to
have
such
a
challenging
piece
presented
on
the
hammer
stage
and
I
wanted
to
just
highlight
everything
from
the
hammer
Plaza
celebration
in
which
we
brought
band
a
loop
to
National
Geographic
live.
We
also
have
a
range
of
really
exciting
presentations
going
on
whether
it
be
National
Geographic
live
of
which
we're
doing
for
a
year
or
a
series
of
speakers,
including
insights
last
year,
that
had
to
say
worrying.
F
G
Really
are
earmarks
and
Shannon
spoke
of
what
we
have
done.
We
continue
to
divide
things
up
into
logical
divisions
of
theater
film
dance,
as
you
can
see
on
the
slide,
also
trying
to
have
a
special
holidays
at
the
hammer,
so
that
we
have
a
good
partnership
with
the
endeavours
of
Christmas
in
the
park,
Christmas
right
and
then
our
strong
commitment
to
the
community.
Also
at
the
hammer,
which
is
where
we
really
accommodate
outside
users.
G
G
Not
quite
we
tried
a
little
thing
called
a
little
black
dress,
which
is
really
cute,
but
it
didn't
quite
sell
too
many
tickets
in
July,
we'll
try
again
maybe
another
year
and
things
coming
up,
we're
gonna
States
doing
the
dreamer
project,
which
is
a
really
interesting
and
timely
piece.
This
fall
fact
they
opened
up
in
three
weeks,
I
believe
and
in
other
programs.
The
next
slide
in
film
we
continue
to
support
cynic,
West
and
their
endeavors
and
happy
to
do
so.
G
We're
having
Sundance
Film
Institute
from
Park
City,
Utah
back
doing
master
classes,
which
is
open
to
the
community
by
the
way,
as
well
as
state
and
the
National
Theatre
live
programs.
In
fact,
you'll
see
fleabag
right
there,
because
that
happens
to
be
very
popular
series
right
now
on
who's
doing
it,
but
it
all
started
as
a
play
on
in
London
and
they
captured
it
in
high
definition,
so
that
is
tomorrow
night
at
7
o'clock.
If
any
of
you
aren't
doing
anything,
the
tickets
are
affordable.
G
Tomorrow
in
the
world
of
dance
mo
mix,
we
continue
to
work
new,
ballet
partnership
with
them,
they're
now
doing
all
four
of
their
programs
at
the
hammer
and
the
Ballet
Folklorico
in
January
the
last
time.
We
did
well
believe
it
or
not.
There's
two
ballet
folklórico
national
companies
in
Mexico,
and
this
is
the
second
one,
the
first
one
that
we
did
sold
out
before
we
even
started
advertising,
so
we
added
a
second
performance.
So
we'll
do
two
of
this
one
as
well
and
music
kingdom
choir.
We
go
into
the
lower
right
hand,
side.
G
The
black
cab
jazz
series
is
exciting
because
we're
doing
together
with
San
Jose
Jazz
in
a
cabaret
setting
in
our
black
box,
used
to
be
the
rehearsal
room
and
we
sold
out
Kendrick
Scott
the
opening
program
and
the
second
program
is
Quiana.
Linnell
storm
large
is
an
artist
used
to
perform
with
Pink
Martini,
and
we
just
just
this
weekend.
We
did
kaleidoscope
the
annual
University's,
music
and
dance
extravaganza,
where
there's
literally
every
every
student
performs
something
in
that
and
our
lecture
series
which
Shannon
touched
upon,
but
we're
really
trying
to
touch
upon
current
subjects.
G
The
the
sensitive
national
agenda
of
you
know
what
borders
and
and
how
to
keep
people
out
and
all
that
kind
of
very
poignant
subject.
And
then
we
continue
with
National
Geographic
live,
which
is
a
really
it's
a
very
first-rate
presentation
and
we
do
four
of
those
a
year
and
then
here
are
some
of
the
folks
that
are
at
the
hammer
through
some
through
rentals
through
them.
Oh
and
the
holidays
of
course.
So
you
know,
Nutcracker
will
be
back
with
the
new
ballet.
They
have
sold
out
every
year.
G
So
if
any
of
you
have
children
or
you
like
the
Nutcracker,
you
should
try
to
get
your
tickets
soon.
Cool
you'll
and
mariachi
Christmas
is
new
to
us.
So
this
is
a
very
fun
Christmas
program.
Many
theaters
across
the
country
has
made
this
an
annual
program,
so
we'll
see
how
it
does.
This
is
the
Friday
of
a
Thanksgiving
weekend.
So,
if
you're
all
stuffed
with
Turkey
and
sick
of
your
friends,
I
encourage
you
to
come
by
a
or
family
I
mean
well
or
friend,
I
encourage
you
to
buy
tickets.
To
that.
H
How
exciting
to
see
the
hammer
theater
so
utilized
in
the
past
few
years?
It's
wonderful
to
see
all
the
variety
of
performances
that
you
have
both
children's
performances,
as
well
as
sophisticated
dance
and
thought
provoking,
shows
an
entertainment
as
well.
So
I
have
a
question
for
you
regarding
specifically
the
the
community-based
organizations
who
rent
your
facilities.
Do
you
rent
it
to
them
at
a
discount?
What
kind
of
what
kind
of
opportunities
do
they
have
to
rent
through
you?
H
H
G
F
H
Thank
you
very
much,
I
appreciate
that,
because
there's
a
huge
need
for
theaters
for
performance
spaces
for
nonprofit
groups
to
get
a
space
that
they
can
have
access
to
a
green
room,
a
decent-size
stage
and
a
place
for
the
adults
or
kids
to
perform
so
I
appreciate
that
and
all
of
it
comes
with
a
cost.
So
thank
you.
Yeah.
E
And
I
also
wanted
to
mention
that,
since
the
university
has
managed
the
venue,
the
former
rehearsal
facility
on
the
fourth
floor,
is
now
opened
up
as
another
black
box
performance
venue
so
which
is
made
it
accessible
as
well.
For
community
groups
that
don't
need
a
500-seat
venue
but
maybe
might
need
you
know
a
hundred
seats
right.
A
A
I
Actually,
while
it's
coming
up,
let
me
just
I'll
kind
of
start
while
he's
bringing
it
up
and
I.
Think,
let
me
just
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
what
kind
of
the
goal
or
what
is
citywide
planning,
because,
even
though
we've
been
doing
this
work
for
a
long
long
time,
citywide
planning
is
a
more
recent
term
that
we've
adopted.
But
the
citywide
planning
team,
which
will
talk
to
you
about
today,
is
really
the
team
responsible
for
creating
updating
and
maintaining
a
policy
or
an
ordinance
framework
to
implement
our
city's
general
plans,
vision
and
major
strategies.
I
Okay,
so,
as
I
was
saying
that
the
citywide
planning
team
is
really
is
the
team
that
develops,
maintains
the
policy
framework
and
ordinance
framework
to
implement
the
city's
general
plan
we
are
particularly
focus,
of
course,
is
on
ordinances
and
policies
as
they
relate
to
land
use
and
development.
So
our
teams
responsibly
include
the
envision
San
Jose
general
plan,
zoning
and
and
sign
ordinance
council
policies
as
they
relate
to
land
use
and
development.
I
Urban
village
planning
planning
for
the
integration
of
land
use
and
transportation
investments,
including
BART
phase,
2
development
and
demographic
data
analysis
and
the
development
of
land
use
and
develop
policies
to
further
the
city's
climate,
smart
goals
and
environmental
sustainability
goals.
So
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
all
of
our
work
program.
That's
pretty
extensive
I
just
want
to
sort
of
highlight
some
of
the
major
things
that
our
team
is
undertaking.
This
includes
five
council
priorities.
I
This
ranges
from
priorities
related
to
the
preservation
of
mobile
home
parks
and
and
the
creation
of
ordinances
to
facilitate
electronic
billboards
in
downtown
signage.
We
have
a
supporting
role
on
three
council
priorities,
for
example,
related
to
cannabis
and
and
Landy's
policies
related
to
cannabis.
Most
of
the
housing
crisis
work
program
falls
in
our
wheelhouse,
so
we're
undertaking
much
of
that
work.
I.
Think.
Another
aspect
of
our
team
is
that
we
we
actually
a
process
or
manage
the
entitlements
for
extremely
low
income,
affordable
housing.
I
This
is
a
result
of
a
grant
that
we
received
from
destination
home,
we're
also
overseeing
the
dirt
on
station
area
plan
amendment
to
reflect
the
change
context
in
the
dirt
on
station
area,
and
we
are
managing
for
urban
village
planning
process,
including
the
Berryessa
Bart
urban
village
planning
process.
Stevens
Creek
South
was
expressway
rates
raised
street
and
Allan
rock
eased.
I
Some
of
the
the
big
items
that
were
undertaking.
Of
course,
this
year
is
the
Fourier
review
of
the
general
plan.
I'll
get
into
that
a
little
more
in
a
moment,
and
then
we
always
do
every
year.
We
do
the
annual
review
of
the
general
plan
and
that's
where
we
we
process
privately
initiated
general
plan
amendments.
We
provide
the
council
with
a
report
on
how
we
are
doing
to
achieve
to
move
the
city
towards
achieving
our
our
goals
in
the
general
plan.
I
I
We
also
have
received
an
American
city's
climate
challenge
grant
to
implement
the
further
our
climate
goals.
Those
include
the
reach
code,
which
the
council
recently
approved
and
and
also
strategies
to
reduce
parking,
which
I'll
talk
about
in
a
little
in
a
moment.
Another
work
item
is
we're
at
working
with
council
district
7
and
an
8
on
the
Monterey
corridor
task
force
process
to
improve
them
on
or
a
corridor,
and
then
a
big
work
item.
That's
kind
of
landed
on
us
is
to
amend
ordinance
a
permit
process
consistent
with
state
law.
I
This
is
something
that
we
do
regularly,
but
it's
a
heavier
lift
this
time
which
I'll
talk
about
in
a
moment,
so
I
think
that
the
good
news
is
is
that
we
have
significant
staffing
resources.
So
if
you
go
back
to
2003,
we
had
20
citywide
staff
members
in
2012.
After
completion
of
the
envision,
Center
was
a
general
plan.
I
We
went
down
to
four
staff
as
of
just
a
year
ago
we
had
nine
staff,
so
thankfully
the
council
has
approved
the
citywide
planning
permit
fee
in
June
of
29
2018,
and
today
we
have
20
citywide
staff
positions.
So
that's
taking
us
back
to
where
we
were
in
2003
of
those
20
positions.
15
are
currently
filled
and
we
anticipate
filling
another
two
two
or
three
of
them,
this
this
fall
actually
in
the
coming
month.
I
So
here's
kind
of
what
visually
the
team
looks
like.
As
you
can
see,
I'm
the
deputy
director
of
the
whole
team,
Jared
R,
it's
a
division
manager,
the
team's
broken
into
seven
groups.
We
have
a
housing
team,
that's
focused
on
implementing
the
housing
crisis,
work
program,
extremely
low
income,
housing
entitlements
and
tracking
state
legislation,
and
we
have
a
stationary
a
planning
effort,
that's
primarily
focused
on
work
related
to
Bart
phase.
Two.
We
have
our
general
plan
team.
Our
ordnance
team,
our
citywide
planning
team,
which
is
in
the
near
term,
will
be
the
team.
I
That's
focused
on
rezoning
properties
to
be
consistent
with
the
general
plan,
with
an
initial
focus
on
rezoning
housing
properties,
our
land,
that's
planned
for
housing.
We
have
our
urban
village
team
and
we
have
our
climate
climate,
smart
team
as
well,
so
the
four
year
you
the
general
plan.
This
is
something
that
councils
talked
about
recently.
This
is
really
just
a
reminder
of
the
scope.
The
two
items
to
highlight,
of
course,
are
revisiting
the
future
of
both
north
and
mid
coyote
valley.
Really,
in
the
context
of
measure
t.
I
So
our
forty,
as
you
probably
have
seen
the
mayor,
sent
a
memo.
We
have
a
42
member
task
force,
that's
been
established
that
will
be
chaired
by
dave
council,
former
council
member
david
Pandora
and
Teresa
Alvarado
from
spur
our
first
house
force
meeting
is
on
November
20th.
This
fall
and
our
final
and
six
meeting
will
include
in
April
of
2020.
I
At
that
final
meeting,
the
task
force
will
develop
a
recommendation
for
City
Council
will
do
environmental
review
over
this
summer
and
we
anticipate
that
council
will
consider
the
task
force
recommendations
in
the
fall
of
next
year,
so
aligning
zoning
with
general
plan.
This
is
a
multi-phase
effort.
The
first
phase
was
doing
a
comprehensive
update
of
our
zoning
code
related
to
the
the
allowed
uses
and
permit
requirements.
I
This
was
approved
by
council
in
June
of
2019
earlier
this
year,
phase
1
B
as
we're
calling
it
is
updating
the
development
standards
of
our
existing
zoning
districts
and
creating
new
residential
zoning
districts.
Many
in
many
cases
we
don't
have
a
zoning
district
that
actually
lines
and
allow
density
allowed
within
the
general
plan.
So
there's
a
need
to
really
again
align
the
districts
to
create
ones
that
really
are
going
to
implement
the
land
use
designations.
In
our
general
plan
that
will
be
coming
to
the
council
in
spring
of
2020
and
then
phase
do
phase.
I
Two
is
really
the
effort
to
rezone
property
create
one
month,
one
color
on
the
map,
we're
going
to
be
commencing
that
early
in
2020
and
we're
going
to
begin
focusing
a
housing
sites,
largely
because
there's
a
new
Rena
cycle
where
we
have
to
update
our
housing
element.
Arina
stands
for
regional
housing
needs
assessment.
We
have
three
years
to
do
that,
but
it's
going
to
be
a
very
heavy
lift
given
all
the
law
changes
related
to
housing
elements,
and
so
we're
going
to
need
to
start
that
immediately
next
year
to
start
raising
rezoning
sites
for
housing.
I
So
aligning
code
with
the
state
law
there's
a
number
of
things
we
need
to
do
to
align
our
existing
code
with
state
law,
including
some
relatively
minor
updates
to
our
density,
bonus,
ordinance,
creating
a
ministerial
approval
process
for
SB
35,
which
is
for
streamlining
for
affordable
projects
and
av21
62,
which
is
streamlining
for
homeless,
supportive
housing.
The
state,
of
course,
is
even
libero
liberalized
regulations
related
ad
use,
even
farther
than
we
have,
even
though
we're
probably
one
of
the
most
progressive
and
the
state
on
this.
I
So
we
have
to
update
our
regulations
to
allow
what
are
called
junior
accessory
dwelling
units.
Allow
larger
ad
use,
get
rid
of
minimum
lot
size
for
a
to
use,
get
rid
of
replacement
parking
for
garage
conversions
for
a
to
use
and
allow
ad
use
in
multifamily
buildings,
and
then
we're
also
evaluating
policy
and
ordinance
changes
required
by
to
actually
a
number
of
state
laws,
including
a
B
3194
and
SB
three-30,
a
B
3194.
We
talked
about
that
a
couple
I
think
about
two.
I
Three
weeks
ago,
briefly,
Dave
Sykes
brought
that
up
at
Council
there's
an
info
memo
going
out
on
that.
It
may
have
come
out
today
if
it
hasn't
come
out
today,
it's
coming
in
the
next
day
or
two
that
you
will
receive
with
more
detail
on
that
I.
Think
in
the
big
scheme
of
thing,
there's
a
roughly
about
30
ish
state
laws
has
been
passed
in
the
last
two
years
by
pass
signed
by
Governor,
Jerry,
Brown
and
governor
Newsom.
I
So,
regarding
the
urban
village
framework,
this
is
one
we're
very
much
aware
of
and
will
be
an
accounts
of
empathy
if
you
would
not
receive
you'll
receive
soon.
But
essentially,
our
urban
village
framework
that
was
approved
in
2018
in
May
has
been
invalidated
by
two
state
laws.
One
is
a
B
3194
and
the
other
is
SB
1333.
I
So
where
we
are
right
now
is
really
looking
at
a
sort
of
an
urban
village,
a
mini
framework
2.0.
We
are
already
been
directed
by
council
to
create
commercial
and
mixed
use.
Urban
village,
zoning
districts-
and
so
our
approach
at
this
time
is
proposing
to
embed
amenity
requirements
within
the
urban
village
zoning
districts,
the
amenities
that
we
anticipate.
We
could
include
our
popo's,
which
are
privately
owned,
publicly
accessible,
open
spaces
as
well
as
art,
streetscape
improvements,
etc.
I
The
other
sort
of
work
item
we
want
to
highlight
today,
as
our
park
is
part
development
of
parking
reduction
strategies.
So
the
purpose
of
looking
at
our
of
reducing
or
developing
parking
reduction
strategies
is
to
further
implement
our
climate,
smart,
San
Jose.
This
work
is
funded
by
the
American
cities.
Climate
challenge
grant,
as
was
the
reach
code
and
quite
simply,
put
parking
often
induces
driving
driving
leads
to
vehicle
miles,
traveled,
which
in
turn
leads
to
greenhouse
gases,
which
in
turn
contributes
to
climate
change.
I
I
Is
that
something
that
would
work
in
San
Jose,
given
the
context
of
our
market
in
San
Jose
and
they
are
may
not,
but
we
are
going
to
explore
that,
and
the
works
really
divided
into
two
I
should
say
Adam,
so
we're
also
looking
at
transportation
demand
requirements,
so
we
have
them
now.
If
you
want
to
get
to
or
reduce
parking,
you
need
to
provide
TDM
but
trying
to
understand
how
that
fits
into
the
context
of
our
parking
strategies.
For
example,
if
you
want
to
get
to
no
parking,
could
you
do
that?
I
You
may
be
able
to
do
that,
but
you
may
need
to
do
additional
transportation
demand
management
things
to
ensure
that
you're
not
and
do
the
group
creating
a
demand
for
parking
that
people
can
get
your
use
in
other
ways
the
works
generally
divided
into
two
to
geographic
areas.
The
first
is
downtown
and
then
the
second
is
citywide
outside
of
downtown,
so
we're
initiating
public
engagement.
This
November,
our
engagement,
is
an
alliance
with
a
partnership
with
spur
who's
going
to
work
with
us.
Downtown
and
green
Bell.
I
So
the
other
item
we
want
to
highlight
is
is
a
priority
development
area
application.
So
we
actually,
as
you
may
recall,
there
are
things
called
PDAs
or
priority
development
areas
there
and
the
MTC
a
banks
plan.
One
plan
want
plan,
Bay,
Area
they're,
intended
to
be
areas
where
the
city
and
the
region
plans
for
both
housing
and
jobs,
growth,
and
so
we
have
a
number
of
PDS
in
our
cities
and
now,
including
North,
San,
Jose
and
downtown,
and
many
of
our
urban
villages,
particularly
those
that
are
on
really
high
quality
transit.
I
One
of
the
villages
that
is
not
currently
PDA,
but
we've
gotten
direction
to
council
to
to
explore
doing
urban
village
planning
in
this
area
is
the
De
Anza
urban
village
and
council
district
one
in
West
San
Jose.
So
we
submitted
an
application
MTC
to
add
the
Anza
Boulevard
as
an
urban
as
a
priority
development
area
and
septet.
This
past
September
will
be
bringing
a
resolution
to
Council
in
in
December
of
this
year,
a
resolution
to
that
we
to
consider
adoption
of
this
village
as
a
PDA.
I
What
this
will
do
is
make
this
priority
development
area
eligible
for
PDA
planning
grants
and
our
MTC's
PDA
planning
grants
are
our
primary
source
of
funding
to
do
urban
village
planning
work
and,
incidentally,
the
next
PDA
grant
cycle
will
be
in
the
fall
of
next
year.
So
that's
a
which
point
we
would
apply
for
grant
funding
to
do
urban
village
planning
in
this
urban
village,
as
well
as
potentially
others,
and
that
concludes
staffs
presentation
on
citywide
planning
activities
and
we'll
open
up
to
questions.
A
I
appreciate
the
the
complexity
of
some
of
the
stuff
that
you
have
to
continually
deal
with
with
state
legislation,
keeping
keeping
you
on
your
toes
I
guess
I
had
a
question
about
this
and
you
may
have
answered
it
long
ago,
but
I
wanted
to
bring
it
back
up
again
because
we're
experiencing
something
like
you
know,
zoning
like
right
now,
the
the
the
general
plan
has
school
in
my
district
zoned
as
public
quasi
public,
but
the
actual
zoning
in
the
plan
is
farmland
because
it
hasn't
been
changed
for
50
years.
A
I
A
I
F
I
Outreach
to
the
surrounding
residents
and
so
there's
an
engagement
process.
We
have
a
community
meeting
process
for
that,
so
people
are
aware
of
what
we're
proposing.
We
are
definitely
game
for
looking
at
ways
of
streamlining.
This
we've
been
talking
about
the
attorney's
office
if
there's
ways
to
to
streamline
it
from
a
legal
perspective,
so
we
are
definitely
exploring
that,
but
usually
as
part
of
our
approach
to
in
community
engagement,
which
is
one
of
our
general
plan,
major
strategies
is
we.
We
definitely
do
outreach
to.
Let
folks
know
what
we're
proposing
to
do
so.
A
I
Not
proposing
to
go
literally
one
property
at
a
time
until
we
get
to
30,000,
we
are
gonna,
be
doing
these
insurances
and
chunks
and
putting
them
together.
So
we'll
be
a
community
meeting.
It
could
be
a
community
meeting
for
a
thousand
two
thousand
three
thousand
properties.
So
we're
not.
We
would
not
do
it
one
property
a
time.
It
ok,
forever.
Yeah.
A
I
now
give
you
the
the
example
that
I
have
in
my
own
district,
the
schools
been
in
existence
for
like
30
years,
they're
remodeling
a
building,
and
now
we
have
and
now
that
communities
has
a
say
so
I
mean
they're
going
from
what
are
they
call
those
portables
to
a
solid
contiguous
structure?
So
there's
no
actually
additional,
there's,
no
additional
children
being
added
to
the
school
there's.
No
additional
usage
is
being
out
of
the
school,
but
now
I
still
I
have
a
huge
headache,
because
you
know
and
bright.
A
I
A
I
mean
it's
already
I'm.
It
should
be
coming
to
the
calendar
so
so
on
ad
use,
it's
so
I've
actually
had
owners
of
for
plexus
you're
saying
that
they're
we're
gonna
allow
eighty
used
to
be
allowed
on
multi-family
dwelling
units
when,
in
fact,
over
the
last
two
years,
I've
been
telling
people.
No,
you
can't
do
it,
and
now
now
I
can
go
back
to
tell
those
same
people
that
have
wanted
to
build
additional
structures.
Yes,
you
can
yeah.
I
A
H
J
A
K
Thank
you.
So
you
did
make
mention
of
some
of
the
statewide
legislation.
That
is,
you
know,
causing
some
some
impacts
for
us,
namely
you
talked
about
the
urban
village
amenities
you
glazed
over
it
as
if
it
I
guess
it
was
a
little
bit
less
impactful
than
I.
Think
it's
gonna
be
I,
don't
know
if
you
can
go
back
to
that
slide
and
talk
a
little
bit
about,
maybe
even
timing,
at
least
on
when
we
think
we'll.
K
I
I
So
what
we're
doing
now
is
again
we're
looking
about
and
where
the
state
is
going
is
about,
if
you
want
to,
and
if
you
want
to
impose
anything
on,
housing
has
to
be
objective,
quantifiable
standards,
so
we're
looking
at
creating
objective,
Oh,
quantifiable
amenity
standards
that
would
be
embedded
in
the
zoning
code.
Right
now.
I
We're
we're
anticipating
burying
the
those
zoning
districts
back
to
Council
in
in
June
of
next
year,
we're
hopeful
that
we
can
bring
the
amenities
2.0
embedded
in
that
as
well,
and
those
zoning
districts
we're
still
sort
of
kind
of
getting
her
head
around
that.
But
our
plan,
at
least
at
this
point,
is
to
bring
that
whole
package
back
in
June.
It
may
take
a
little
longer
we're
still
kind
of
digging
into
some
other
ideas.
I
But
that's
that's
where
we
are
at
this
point
regarding
before
you
review
the
jena
plan,
and
we
have
to
take
into
consideration
all
these
state
law
changes.
So
it
will
I
think
it
core.
It
could
impact
some
of
the
the
approaches
that
were
we're,
thinking
about
and
bringing
to
the
task
force,
but
we
have
to
we
be
sort
of
failing
in
our
duties
if
we
didn't
consider
them
as
we
bring
forward
recommendations
to
both
the
task
and
the
council.
I
I
Yeah
so
as
an
example
in
SB,
well,
we're
gonna
get
into
this
a
lot
more,
so
I'm
a
little
reluctant
to
go
too
far
into
it.
But
an
example
is
SB.
Three-30
talks
about
you
can
only
enforce
objectable
uncle
on
a
viable
standards
and
housing
development.
So
that's
how
actually?
Another
work
item
is
causing
this
to
just
think
about
our
sort
of
design
guidelines
and
how
we
use
those
and
kind
of
focusing
more
on
standards.
I
K
I
We
can
provide
us,
but
I,
think
a
good
example
would
be,
for
example,
the
form
base
owning
district
and
alum
rock,
where
it
has.
It
has
specific,
quantifiable
requirements
in
terms
of
that,
in
that
effect,
the
design
of
a
project,
or
it
could
be
in
terms
of
amenity
that
a
project
will
provide,
let's
say
popo's
at
X
square
footage.
Really
you
know
at
this
this
size
level.
You
know
if
you're
a
project
of
this
size
you'll
provide
a
minimum
of
this
level.
I
Our
approach
right
now,
though,
is
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
have
things
that
you
need
to
do
or
must
do
in
the
zoning
districts
ball
the
same
time
allowing
flexibility,
because
it's
not
always
one
size
fits
all,
and
not
every
every
amenity
makes
sense
for
all
developments,
so
it
could
be
the
case,
for
example,
that
you
have.
We
have
five
amenities
to
choose
from,
and
you
need
to
hit
three
of
the
five
or
something
like
that.
As
an
example.
A
A
Basically,
is
the
state
telling
local
jurisdictions,
you
don't
have
the
discretion
that
you
used
to
have
in
order
to
try
to
hold
up
projects,
and
now
they
have
to
be
objective
so
that
when
a
developer
comes
in,
he
or
she
knows
exactly
what
is
going
to
be
required
and
does
not
have
to
wait
for
the
project
to
go
to
before
the
legislative
body
where
they,
where
at
that
point,
they
start
asking
for
different
things.
It
won't.
G
I
I
K
Part
of
the
reason
why
I
asked
the
question
around
the
general
plan
task
force
was
because
I
see
more
value
right
in
what
our
general
plan
is
now,
given
these
state
laws
than
even
what
we
had
previously
to
your
point.
There
were
triggers,
or
you
know,
within
the
urban
village,
you
know,
process
changing
the
zoning
was
a
trigger
point
and
we
could
use
that.
K
But
at
the
same
time,
to
your
point,
you
just
said:
there's
not
even
a
full
understanding
from
city
staff
on
what
some
of
these
state
laws
are
going,
how
they're
gonna
change
our
world,
so
I
I
want
to
ensure
right
that
that
is
done
before
we
complete
this
General
Plan
Update,
and
if
the
timing
there
is
not
lined
up,
then
I
would
like
to
elongate
the
time
right
of
the
General
Plan
Update,
to
allow
that
body
to
you
know,
provide
feedback
and
allow
us
to
make
an
update.
That
actually
is
reflective
of
all
of
these.
K
So
that's
really
kind
of
what
I'm
getting
to
and
and
I
still
don't
have
necessarily
I
guess,
a
good
answer
in
regards
to
when
you're
coming
back
with
a
presentation
of
the
Council
on
a
good
understanding.
And
then
you
know
is
that
gonna
line
up
with
our
General
Plan
Update,
but
at
least
I
guess
to
yourself
Kim
right.
It
would
be.
Let's
just
make
that
happen
right
here.
K
This
we
need
to
get
this
done
in
this
understanding
from
staff
staff
needs
to
present
that
to
the
council
and
then
I
think
that
needs
to
be
presented
to
the
task
force
and-
and
it
needs
to
be
lined
up
with
whatever
decision
we
make.
Whatever
changes
we
make
to
the
general
plan,
considering
I
think
it's,
it.
I
Sure
so
I
just
wanted
one
point
of
clarification,
and
that
is
most
the
state
law
is
really
generally
are
not
about
our
general
plan.
Our
general
plan
is
pretty
solid
in
terms
of
housing.
It's
really
what
it's
more
about
is
the
zoning
code
and
our
ordinance
and
our
processes,
that's
where
the
laws
are
really
focused
on.
They
want
us
to
implement
our
general
plan
in
a
faster,
more
streamlined
way.
No.
K
F
B
I
mean
listen
to
all
this
I'm
excited
without
actually
passing
any
judgment
of
what
objective
standards
will
be
put
into
place.
I
kind
of
think
the
development
by
right
is
is
a
good
way
to
go,
especially
if
we
want
to
be
consistent
and
actually
have
a
real
chance
at
achieving
whatever
goal
to
say
the
city
sets
up
for
ourselves
and
I
think
you
know
was
it.
B
Seattle
has
sort
of
process
where
plan
even
bypasses
the
council,
but
I
really
only
wanted
to
raise
a
question
because
of
what
you
said
Michael
earlier
about
Alum,
Rock,
being
perhaps
a
kind
of
good
example
of
what
we
should
be
doing.
I'm
only
asking
this
because
I
remember
a
few
council
meeting
ago,
and
this
is
kind
of
a
hat
tip
to
our
eagle-eyed
council.
Watchers
one
public
commenter
came
up
and
made
a
big
to-do
about
you.
B
Look
at
I,
don't
know
berry
s
or
you
look
at
West,
San,
Jose,
general
plan
and
they're
like
really
thick
and
like
hundreds
of
pages
long
and
then
you
have
alum
rock,
and
it's
only
like
five
pages
like
what
the
heck
man
like
nobody
cares
about.
Alan
Rock.
So
I
just
kind
of
want
to
draw
that
distinction
like
can
you
explain
that
and
why
you're
holding
that
up
as
yeah.
I
I
mean
I
think
there
isn't
a
traditional
urban
village
plan
for
Alan
rock
that
that's
true
and
fair
enough
and
there's
a
whole
story
on
that
which
I
can
share.
If
you
like,
but
I,
think
what
I'm
talking
about
that,
where
we're
going
with
I
mean
not
that
there
can't
be
a
plan
for
Alan
market,
we
were
there
I
anticipate.
There
will
be
a
plan
for
Elam
Rock,
it's
more
that
where
we
have
to
go
now
to
implement
and
streamline
housing
development
urban
villages
to
create
a
zoning
district
that
allows
developers
to
move
very
quickly.
I
The
process
either
go
to
directors,
hearing
or
Planning
Commission,
and
so
that's
the
way
that
was
set
up
five
six
seven
eight
years
ago
and
now
and
alum
rock
and
that's
kind
of
the
approach
that
we're
really
going
to
move
towards
in
all
urban
villages.
So
it's
kind
of
separate
from
the
village
plan.
L
I
just
add
I
mean
the
beauty
and
the
challenge
of
the
urban
village
plans
was
the
community
very
clearly
articulated
what
they
wanted
to
see
in
terms
of
amenities,
infrastructure,
streetscape
that
goes
above
and
beyond
our
base
level
requirements
so
that
that's
the
source
of
concern.
Now,
how
do
we
not
just
deliver?
You
know
projects,
but
how
do
we
deliver
amenities
and
stick
with
the
whole
village
concept?
L
So
that's
why
we're
gonna
have
to
bake
in
more
of
those
requirements
into
the
zoning
code
whereas,
but
we
had
worked
on
for
several
years,
was
like
a
percentage
of
the
value
when
we
were
rezoning
from
commercial
to
mixed-use
residential.
We
were
gonna
capture
back
a
percentage
of
that
value
and
have
some
flexibility
about
how
that
was
directed
to
either
pay
for
or
create
certain
amenities
and
infrastructure.
L
B
And
I
wanna
delve
into
this
rabbit
hole.
I!
Guess
to
that
point,
my
understanding,
because
this
predates
me,
but
my
understanding
is
the
bargain
of
the
previous
general
plan-
was
basically
we
have
to
grow
as
a
city,
but
we
want
to
keep
our
kind
of
suburban
San,
Jose
feel,
and
so,
let's
densify,
but
only
in
these
designated
urban
villages
and
and
I
I,
don't
know
that
that's
feasible
moving
forward
with
all
that's
changing
around
us,
but
I.
Just
I'll
just
put
that
out
there
for
as
a
kind
of
a
threat
to
pull
on
later.
Well.
I
I
mean
that
that
issue
is
actually
being
it's
part
of
the
scope
of
the
four-year
review.
So
that's
what
we're
calling
opportunity-
housing,
sometimes
known
as
missing
metal,
but
it's
sort
of
I,
guess
kind
of
revisiting.
What
was
the
grand
bargain
between
don't
touch
preserve
all
single-family
neighborhoods,
let's
just
grow
by
converting
our
commercial
transit
corridors
into
urban
villages,
and
this
is
kind
of
taking
a
first
step
at
exploring
well.
Could
there
be
places
that
you
single
filming
neighborhoods
that
you
could
allow
some
identification
in
those
areas?
That's
the
first
step
towards
I.
H
A
J
So
the
council
made
this
a
priority
back
in
2017.
We
also
have
policies
in
the
general
plan
that
required
the
city
to
periodically
review
and
update
its
design
guidelines
and
the
guidelines
for
citywide,
residential,
commercial
and
industrial
development
are
very
old.
Some
dating
back
almost
thirty
years,
a
staff
sought
and
obtained
a
priority
development
area
staffing
grant
from
a
bag
MTC.
This
is
a
different
type
of
grant
than
a
typical
financial
grant.
J
It
actually
provides
in-kind
consultant
assistance,
so
the
consultants
are
paid
directly
by
MTC
and
the
city
gets
the
benefit
and
is
able
to
direct
at
work.
So
we
received
a
$200,000
in
kind
staffing
grant
last
year
and
the
consultants
working
on
this
project
are
an
architecture
firm
van
Meter
Williams
and
a
planning
firm
urban
planning
partners.
J
So
the
new
citywide
guidelines
and
standards
will
be
a
unified
document
that
will
fully
replace
the
90s
7
1997
residential
design
guidelines,
the
1990
commercial
design
guidelines
and
the
1992
industrial
design
guidelines,
and
they
will
apply
throughout
the
city,
excluding
certain
areas
that
have
their
own
guidelines.
You're
all
familiar
with
the
downtown
dear
Adan
guidelines
that
the
council
adopted
earlier
this
year.
Also
urban
villages
to
date
have
had
their
own
distinct
design
guidelines.
So
any
urban
village
plans
that
the
council
has
approved
prior
to
the
effective
date
of
the
new
citywide
guidelines.
J
Will
those
urban
village
guidelines
and
standards
will
continue
to
apply
north
San
Jose
has
its
own
fairly.
Recent
set
of
guidelines,
Berryessa
Bart
urban
village,
as
having
guidelines
developed
as
part
of
the
urban
village
process,
approved
specific
plans
will
not
be
subject
to
these
guidelines
and
also
single-family
homes,
which
planning
has
a
fairly
limited
role
in
reviewing
so
again.
The
goals
of
this
update
process
are
to
increase
consistency
and
predictability
for
applicants
by
making
clear
what
the
city's
expectations
are.
J
We're
also
aiming
for
greater
responsiveness
to
current
and
anticipated
building
types,
data
centers,
for
example,
or
something
that
our
current
guidelines
from
the
90s
don't
really
contemplate
and
we're
looking
for
better
outcomes,
we're
looking
for
higher
quality
architecture
and
an
improved
public
realm
to
support
the
general
plan,
policies
for
vibrant
neighborhoods
and
community
design
in
terms
of
community
engagement,
we
kind
of
modeling
the
process
that
we
used
successfully
for
the
downtown
guidelines.
We
began
with
a
community
listening
session
on
October
15th
over
at
the
MLK
library.
J
We
are
planning
a
second
community
workshop
after
the
public
release
of
a
draft
set
of
guidelines
in
January,
and
we
are
aiming
to
complete
this
council
priority
by
bringing
the
document
to
the
Planning
Commission
in
City
Council
before
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year,
and
we
have
a
dedicated
website
set
up
for
the
effort.
This
effort
is
being
run
by
the
city
design
team,
which
I
manage
now
in
the
implementation
division
of
planning.
J
J
We
also
heard
a
desire
for
art
elements
in
private
development,
something
that's
not
currently
contemplated
in
our
ordinance,
but
is
nevertheless
encouraged,
and
we
also
heard
that,
because
this
is
a
citywide
document
that
certain
neighborhood
groups
might
be
interested
in
hearing
from
us,
so
we're
we're
kind
of
preparing
a
roadshow
to
go
out
and
present
to
neighborhood
groups
as
desired.
So
a
quick
overview
of
the
structure
of
the
document
kind
of
similar
to
the
downtown
design
guidelines.
It's
organized
with
several
broad
chapters
that
track
with
the
tip
project
design
process.
J
So
chapter,
one
is
kind
of
the
operating
system
how
to
use
the
document
where
it
applies
and
some
values
and
guiding
principles
that
are
being
derived
with
input.
From
previous
plans,
as
well
as
from
the
community
and
I,
won't
go
through
all
of
these,
but
they're
organized
again
in
two
broad
categories:
design,
people
places
and
policy.
So
for
each
page
of
the
document,
we're
kind
of
tying
back
to
one
or
more
of
these
values
and
guiding
principles.
J
Just
to
make
it
clear
why
we're
saying
the
things
that
we're
saying
chapter
two
of
the
document
is
all
about
the
size.
So
that's
the
arrangement
of
use
is
on
the
site.
Where
is
parking
access
where
the
front
doors?
How
does
the
you
know
features
like
you
know,
necessary
back
of
house
trash
and
closures
and
all
those
sorts
of
different
elements
of
a
construction
project?
J
There's
an
entire
chapter
focused
on
the
public
realm,
roughly
the
lowest
20
feet
of
the
building,
so
the
interaction
between
the
development
and
adjacent
public
space,
sidewalks,
Paseos,
open
space
and
again
similar
to
downtown
the
at
the
goal,
is
to
have
a
very
clear
structure
and
organization
where
essentially,
each
page
of
the
document
deals
with
a
different
topic.
So
in
there
there
are
various
parts
that
repeat
in
the
same
format
for
each
of
these
different
topics,
including
a
value
statement
here,
you
know,
keep
people
safe,
a
guiding
principle
that
sort
of
encapsulates
in
one
sentence.
J
Quantifiably
there's
also
a
section
on
references
to
related
sections
of
the
document,
as
well
as
references
to
applicable
general
plan
policies.
So
again,
every
page
of
the
document
or
every
topic
follows
this
same
format
for
clarity
and
ease
of
use
and
an
additional
section.
That's
new
for
the
citywide
guidelines
as
a
specific
development
types
section.
J
So
this
takes
some
common
development
types,
be
they
data,
centers
or
hotels
and
motels,
and
provides
more
detail
about
how
the
guidelines
and
standards
can
be
applied
to
those
particular
development
types
and
some
of
the
specific
characteristics
that
they
might
have.
For
example,
hotels
often
have
a
porte-cochere
where
you
pull
up
and
double
park
your
car
for
a
minute,
while
you're
running
to
register.
A
J
We
made
an
announcement
at
the
developers
roundtable
on
October,
4th
that
this
process
was
happening
and
began.
You
know
taking
names
and
interested
parties
and
as
soon
as
we
have
a
public
review
draft
of
the
document,
we're
anticipating
holding
several
focus
groups
for
developers
and
design
professionals,
as
we
did
last
time.
Thank.
A
You
one
of
the
complaints
that
I
get
occasionally
from
developers.
Is
that
not
necessarily
around
the
codes
and
what-have-you,
but
around
the
inspection
process
itself?
One
one
inspector
would
come
in
and
say
you
know,
this
is
okay
and
then
the
next
one
would
come
in
and
say:
hey
you
know
what
you
didn't
take
this
up
to.
You
know
the
the
code.
Well,
they
have
different
interpretations
of
the
code.
If
you
will
are
we
doing
anything
to
streamline
the
comments
from
building
inspectors?
Well,.
J
A
B
B
A
Opposed
no
okay!
Thank
you
very
much.
You
know
what
this
is
actually
our
last
item
record
time:
okay,
I,
don't
see
me
public
comments,
and
so
this
meeting
is
adjourned.
