A
A
A
A
A
B
C
A
B
B
C
Sure
I
can
happy
to
go
over
the
the
reasons
for
the
deferral
which
were
in
the
memo
that
went
to
rules,
as
you
said,
so.
The
first
is
because
of
covid19
the
stakeholder
outreach
that
we
had
to
do
related
to
the
land,
use
and
regulatory
proposals
had
has
not
happened,
because
the
planning
staff
was
assigned
to
the
eoc.
C
A
B
E
Yeah
thanks
chair-
and
I
think
you
know
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
the
same
issue
as
well
and
no
doubt
clearly,
you
know
we.
We
did
not
expect
everything.
That's
happened
this
year
to
have
happen,
but
I
think
one
of
the
things
we
just
have
to
remember
is
that
few
industries
are
actually
doing
well,
if
not
even
better
than
maybe
pre-kovit.
E
Sorry,
that's
my
dog
yeah,
and
so
you
know.
I
think
that
that
what's
important
to
note
is
obviously
our
cannabis
industry
is
doing
well
and
we
continue
to
to
outpace
sort
of
other
areas,
especially
when
we've
seen
some
of
our
neighboring
cities
not
take
up
the
opportunities
of
cannabis,
sales
and
distribution,
and
so
but
I
I
recognize
the
challenge
here-
that
what
we
face
is
is
really
just
the
the
staff
allocation
and
their
time
and
their
priorities.
E
A
F
That
makes
three
of
us
who
are
interested
in
seeing
this
go
forward
last
year,
when
I
brought
this
through
under
priority,
it
was
approved
with
a
large
percentage
of
the
council
members,
putting
it
on
their
priority
list,
and
I
remember
at
the
time
someone
said
maybe
from
the
public
or
the
council,
that
priority
setting
is
where
things
go
to
die
and
I'm
frankly,
feeling
a
little
bit
that
this
is
going
to
priority
setting
it's
it's
going
to
die.
I
understand
that
covid
is
an
issue
and
re
and
staffing
resources
is
an
issue.
F
So
we
could
open
them
up
in
other
parts
of
the
city.
So
I'm
just
emphasizing,
what's
already
been
said
by
council
member
perales
and
esparza
that
we
need
to
move
forward
this
with
this.
I
certainly
understand,
but
I
hope
that
we're
not
going
to
see
much
more
of
a
delay
past
the
early
part
of
next
year,
yeah.
C
F
C
C
We
will,
between
now
and
the
end
of
the
year,
be
sharing
with
you,
the
city-wide
road
map
priorities,
so
you
will
have
an
opportunity
to
look
at
you
know
at
everything,
including
previously
directed
council
policy,
priority
work
and
and
give
us
a
sense
of
how
it
fits
with
other
work
that
has
come
up
this
year.
So
we
will
be
engaging
you
on
these
important
questions.
So
great.
Thank.
F
C
Yes,
you're
correct,
council
member,
so
this
the
staff
is
there
to
play
their
regulatory
function.
However,
when
we
do
this
policy
work,
it
also
often
requires
the
work
of
other
departments,
like
the
in
this
case,
planning,
building
code
enforcement
and
in
the
case
of
the
equity
program
staff
from
the
city
manager's
office
and
the
office
of
economic
development.
B
Let's
see
and
is
there
a
way
I
mean
I,
I
think
that
the
memo
wasn't
too
clear
about
what
month
it's
going
to
come
back
to
the
council.
Obviously
I'll
be
off
in
a
couple
of
months.
Is
there
any
way
we
could
try
to
move
it
to
december
or
something
I'd
like
to
weigh
in
on
this
before
I
leave
office,
if
at
all,
yeah.
C
No,
I'm
sorry,
I'm
sorry,
that's
not
possible,
because
to
have
something
on
the
you
know,
december
work,
pla,
cd
meeting
means
the
work
has
to
be.
You
know
done
by
early
november.
So
what
we'd
be
looking
at
is
you
know,
there's
a
process
of
setting
the
ced
the
six
month
work
plan
for
this
committee,
which
goes
from
january
to
june
of
2021,
so
yeah.
We
really
regret
that.
C
B
Yeah-
and
I
like,
like,
like
the
other
council
members
said-
I
mean
we've.
Actually,
this
was
voted
as
a
priority.
This
this
was
something
that
should
have
been
done
before
covet
and
and
quite
frankly,
I
think
we
should
be
getting
it
done
in
january.
If
not,
you
know,
obviously
I
wanted
it
done
sooner,
but
I'm
hoping
that
staff
can
actually
get
something
going
because
it
is
providing
significant
revenues,
and
I
think
that
if
we
we
were
to
work
with
these
folks,
we
may
be
able
to
get
even
more
revenues.
B
A
F
F
B
G
Thanks
to
the
staff,
I
think
this
is
a
clear
example
of
unacceptable
performance.
This
is
not
personal.
This
is
a
business
and
you're
hearing
from
your
city
council
that
this
should
have
already
been
done.
I'm
not
hearing
a
great
sense
of
urgency
so
to
all
the
staff.
This
is
going
to
happen
the
way
it
is,
but
we
should
avoid
this
in
the.
B
C
F
B
All
right
now,
there's
no
further
comment
on
that.
It
looks
like
mr
beekman
has
his
hand
up.
Let's
go
to
mr
beekman
and
kim
before
we
go
to
mr
beekman.
When
I,
when
I,
when
I
thought
we
were
move
okay,
never
mind
the
consent
calendar,
I
thought
we
moved
it
all
together
instead
of
one
item
at
a
time,
but
that's
that's
fine.
Let's
go
to
mr
beekman.
H
Hi,
thank
you.
Yeah.
The
schedule
is
a
little
confusing
today
and
I'm
I'm
trying
to
hang
back
as
much
as
I
can
so,
but
I'm
here
now
hi,
you
know
I
just
wanted
to.
You
know,
offer
my
praise
to
the
to
the
human
rights
commission
and
the
work.
They
do.
It's
kind
of
great
work
that
they
do
incredible
work.
They
do.
They
were.
H
You
know,
working
on
equity
issues
and
women's
issues,
domestic
violence,
issues
for
the
past
like
few
years
now,
if
not
several-
and
you
know
I
I
it's
just
a
real
great
place.
If
you
need,
if
a
person
needs
to
go
to
want
to
speak,
you
know
wants
to
figure
things
out
and
understand
how
how
good
practices
can
work.
H
I
really
recommend
to
to
to
visit
their
commission
meetings
and
what
they
work
on
they're,
going
to
have
their
hands
full
with
new
equity
ideas
and
what
could
be
good
practices
and
for
community
for
a
whole
community,
not
just
part
of
a
community.
So
good
luck
in
those
efforts
to
them
and
about
the
arts.
Commission.
H
B
E
A
A
B
C
C
B
I
B
I
I
I
We
have
a
series
of
announcements
this
month
regarding
things
that
the
city
is
doing
to
help
businesses
through
the
time
of
covid.
One
of
them
is
the
extension
of
the
business
tax
financial
hardship
exemption,
which
allows
businesses
to
take
a
break
from
paying
their
business
tax
for
a
period
of
time
if
they
are
being
unduly
impacted
by
the
pandemic.
I
I
So
a
package
of
nice
things
that
the
the
city
is
being
able
to
offer
to
our
business
community
during
the
time
of
covid,
and
we,
as
always,
we
urge
everyone
to
go
to
the
team
san
jose
website
visit
san
jose
to
under,
to
take
advantage
of
all
the
online
events
and
services
that
are
being
offered
now
and
that
ends
the
report.
Thank
you.
A
H
Hi
I
just
wanted
to
remind
with
small
business
issues
that
you
know,
there's
there's
different
funding
sources
to
look
to
look
at
and
look
forward
to.
You
know
my
concerns.
I
tend
to
look
at
a
bigger,
broader
picture
and-
and
you
know
looking
into
next
year,
small
businesses
are
going
to
need
a
lot
of
help
and
I
just
hope
I
just
wanted
to
remind
that.
We
could
need
to
be
open
to
the
work
at
the
state
level
and
they're
funding
sources
and
patterns,
and
I
don't
know
what
the
term
is.
H
B
A
B
K
K
K
Okay
is
that
working
out?
Sorry?
Yes,
okay,
so
as
a
reminder,
our
housing
crisis
work
plan
was
adopted
by
the
city
council
in
in
june
of
2018
to
facilitate
the
the
goal
of
25
000
new
housing
units
by
2023,
with
15
000
market
rate
and
10
000,
affordable
units.
We
generally
provide
biannual
updates
to
the
community
economic
development
committee
on
progress
implementing
our
the
policy
items
and
projects
contained
in
the
work
plan.
However,
this
is
our
our
first
update
in
2020.
K
With
the
onset
of
the
pandemic,
we've
seen
rents
decline.
This
has
been
especially
the
case
in
class,
a
apartment
buildings,
and
so
this
has
led
to
increased
continued
uncertainty
in
the
in
the
market,
and
so
these
current
conditions
are
likely
to
make
it
difficult
for
new
projects
to
move
forward.
In
the
interim.
K
So
we
have
those
those
units
you
know
ready
to
to
start
once
the
situation
improves
so
in
this
next
chart,
just
kind
of
gives
you
a
visual
on
kind
of
the
the
declining
rent
and
vacancy
rate.
This
goes
back
to
2015,
but
into
2020.
You
can
you
can
see.
The
increase
in
vacancy
is
now
at
about
8.2
percent
and
rent
overall
in
san
jose
has
decreased
about
5.8
percent.
K
L
All
right,
thank
you
jared
and
I'm
rachel
vanderveen
and
I'm
going
to
jump
in
and
help
out
with
the
presentation
as
well
so
in
front
of
you
is
the
chart
that
we
have
been
using
to
track
our
progress
towards
our
goals
that
have
been
set
for
housing
production.
This
is
a
point
in
time,
capture
of
progress
towards
our
goals.
You
can
see
that
in
the
columns
we
have,
the
first
column
is
capacity
for
additional
housing
that
has
been
made
through
policy
work.
L
So
an
example
of
this
would
be
increasing
building
heights
and
adding
urban
villages
to
the
general
plan,
which
actually
create
more
capacity
for
housing
and
then
across.
You
can
see
different
points
in
time
that
we
are
capturing
based
on
the
development
process,
so
we
have
planning
approvals,
building
permits
and
then
also
occupancy
occupancy
permits
and
throughout
time
what
we
can
show
you
is
progress,
that's
made
both
for
market
rate
and
affordable,
which
we
have
goals
for
each
of
those
categories.
K
Okay,
this
next
slide
pulls
the
the
data
from
the
previous
slide
and
we're
showing
units
that
have
received
building
permits,
and
this
is
important
to
track
as
it
generally
represents
the
start
of
new
construction
when,
when
a
project
pulls
up
a
building
permit,
so
2018
was
tracking
more
typically
with
years.
Previous
and
2019
was
a
little
bit
lower,
but
still
around
the
average
that
we
we've
seen
into
2020
the
the
blue
bar.
There
represents
q1
through
q3,
so
we've
had
994
new
units
receiving
building
permits
in
q3.
K
This
was
mainly
driven
by
adus,
the
pink
shaded
area
kind
of
represents,
if,
if
q4
had
the
same
number
of
average
permits
as
the
first
three
quarters.
So
if
this
continues
we're
kind
of
looking
at
one
of
the
lowest
years
since
2011
in
terms
of
the
number
of
permits
for
new
units,
so
this
is,
you
know
an
important
metric
that
we
want
to
keep
an
eye
on
moving
forward
and
kind
of
illustrates
where
we're
at
this
year.
L
So
this
chart
adds
up
all
of
the
progress
that
we've
made
and
then
the
bottom,
you
can
just
see
how
we're
do
tracking
towards
those
goals
and,
as
as
jared,
was
pointing
out
the
the
trend
on
the
building
permit
side.
It's
definitely
a
trend
that
we're
concerned
about,
as
we
continue
to
push
forward
towards
these
goals.
L
The
criteria
that
they
had
to
use
in
order
to
make
these
decisions
included
a
tiebreaker,
that's
based
on
the
total
development
cost
and
the
projects
that
were
coming
from
san
jose
did
not
compete
as
well
as
those
from
southern
california,
due
to
the
total
development
cost,
that's
generally
higher
in
our
area,
and
so
an
example
of
this
is
our
west.
San
carlos
development
is
now
seeking
funding
for
a
third
time
from
sydlak
each
time
an
allocation
is
not
granted.
Months
are
really
lost
in
this.
L
In
the
development
timeline,
sydlak
understands
that
there
are
issues
with
the
scoring
criteria.
They
created
a
working
group
over
the
past
year
to
take
a
look
at
the
challenges
and
and
differences
between
northern
north
and
south
and
other
issues.
They
also
considered
and
they're
bringing
forward
new
guidelines
for
the
coming
year.
K
As
a
reminder,
sp
35
requires
at
least
50
percent
of
units
be
affordable
on
a
property
and
properties
must
be
zoned
or
have
a
general
plan
designation
that
allows
housing.
These
ab2162
must
contain
permanent
supportive
housing
and
the
property
must
be
zoned
already
for
for
housing
in
both
of
these
streamlined
processes.
L
N
That's
currently
zoned
for
single-family
homes
by
the
city
manager,
dutch
hammond,
back
in
the
60s
that
we
had
this
logistical
problem
of
having
to
up
zone
elsewhere
in
the
city
so
that
bill
passed
and
we
we
can
now
bank
up
zoning
capacity
to
then
down
zone
in
other
areas
of
the
city.
Consistent
with
our
general
plan.
N
This
allows
a
religious
institution
to
develop,
affordable
housing,
even
if
the
new
housing
project
reduced
the
available
parking
for
the
religious
use
beyond
what
is
required
in
a
city's
ordinance
or
below.
So
you
know
that
that's
generally
good
news.
The
other
bill
that
did
not
go
forward,
unfortunately,
was
the
igb
bill
which,
which
would
allow
religious
or
or
assemble
uses
to
to
build,
affordable
housing
on
a
portion
of
their
on
some
other
land.
N
So
that's
work,
as
you
may
recall,
it's
part
of
our
new
housing
update
our
updated
housing
crisis
work
program
to
explore
how
we
could
allow
that
how
we
can
allow
assembly
users
to
actually
provide
low-income
housing
on
their
property.
So
this
is
tied
to
that.
But
it's
not
the
the
full
scope
that
we
were
hoping
for
and
then
another
bill
that
passed
is
ab2345,
which
is
expands,
density,
bonus
law,
to
increase
the
maximum
allowable
density,
bonus
and
and
and
increases
the
number
of
incentives
and
concessions.
N
N
So
I
think,
as
you're
all
aware,
we're
currently
doing
conducting
a
general
plan
for
your
review
with
a
whole
host
of
scoping
items
and
we're
working
with
a
you
know.
A
42-member
task
force
on
developing
recommendations
for
those
in
case
you're
interested
by
the
way
coyote
valley
will
be
on
the
agenda
this
coming
thursday
night.
N
N
So
this
is
not
really
an
issue
per
se,
but
there
are
some
that
are
not
urban
village
plans
and
the
recommendation
by
both
staff
and
the
task
force
is
to
create
a
policy
framework
to
allow
housing
to
be
integrated
in
these
business
districts,
and
that
includes
kaye
willow,
as
well
as
taylor,
street
in
japan,
town
13th,
street
and
and
lincoln
avenue
as
well
as
story.
Excuse
me
so
as
well
as
story
road.
Actually
I
should
mention
story.
N
Commercial,
though
there's
the
the
first
policy
is
policy
512,
which
allows
affordable
housing
in
urban
villages
to
jump
ahead.
When
an
urban
village
plan
has
not
yet
been
approved
by
council
and
staff
has
recommended
that
that
the
the
the
affordable
housing
projects
are
should
still
be
required
to
provide
some
level
of
commercial,
but
they
don't
have
to
replace
all
of
it.
N
B
N
You
know
where,
where
is
the
residential
development
currently
in
the
in
the
market
in
terms
of
going
forward?
Where
and
under
what
circumstances,
and
so
we
did
another
one
of
those
last
november
and
we're
planning
to
update
that
in
2021,
we
have
an
rfp
that
will
be
selecting
consultant
to
provide
these
regular
updates.
We'll
be
doing
these
on
a,
I
believe,
it's
an
annual
basis
or
every
two
year
basis.
Just
so,
we
can
understand
what
policy
levers,
fees,
ordinances,
etc,
that
we
have
that
we
can.
N
K
In
this
august,
we've
launched
what
we're
calling
san
jose
housing
site
explorer,
and
you
can
see
that
the
web
page
up
there
it
combines
a
lot
of
different
data
sets
into
one
location
that
you
know,
we
believe
can
be
a
helpful
tool
to
try
to
help
identify.
You
know,
opportunities
for
where
housing
redevelopment,
you
know,
might
be
a
good
opportunity
for
kind
of
phase.
K
Two
of
that
we're
we're
working
to
you
know
continue
to
improve
it
to
even
be
a
little
bit
more
predictive
in
terms
of
of
what
sites
might
might
be
best
situated
for
new
housing.
So
we're
going
to
continue
to
refine
that
and
to
try
to
really
keep
pushing
it
out
there
for
people
to
try
and
test
out
and
also
interested
in
getting
feedback
to
find
out
what
what
might
be
missing
or
what
might
be
needed.
K
Then
so,
moving
forward
new
units
in
north
san
jose
has
been
a
major
policy
goal
and
the
focus
of
ongoing
work
in
our
housing
crisis
work
plan.
Since
the
beginning,
previously,
staff
proposed
abandoning
our
previous
strategy
of
modifying
the
phasing
and
the
existing
north
san
jose
development
policy
staff
has
continued
down
this
pathway
throughout
2020,
but
we're
now
also
recommending
that
the
city
take
the
required
steps
to
retire
the
area
development
policy.
K
The
next
step
in
that
is
to
transition
the
area
development
policy
by
amending
the
engineers
report
to
align
the
money
collected
and
built
transportation
projects
with
development.
That's
completed
consistent
with
sequa
and
identify
a
strategy
for
any
remaining
capital
projects
the
city
wants
to
pursue.
K
K
K
When
the
last
update
was
was
done.
The
the
consultant
was
selected
through
a
unique
services
agreement,
and
so
this
would
follow
the
normal
process
for
for
selecting
that
that
consultant.
Our
update
to
the
report
on
the
cost
of
development
is
already
budgeted
in
the
current
fiscal
year.
So
you
know
it
fits
within
our
work
plan
and
we
already
have
the
funding
available
to
do
that,
and
you
know
staff.
K
We
would
ensure
that
the
report
would
analyze
feasibility
of
high-rise
construction
in
a
variety
of
areas
to
to
allow
council
to
make
a
decision
on
whether
they
you
know.
If,
if
that
construct,
new
high
rise
was
found
to
be
infeasible,
they
could
they
could
make
a
decision
on
whether
to
expand
the
program
further
and
also
to
extend
it
and
then,
with
that
we're
available
for
any
questions.
B
G
G
Perhaps
you
can
offer
landlords
a
tax
deduction
in
the
same
amount
or
I
guess
you
could
just
flat
out
call
it,
but
what
we
know
for
a
fact
is
there
are
thousands
or
tens
of
thousands
of
people
who
are
gonna
have
an
issue
paying
back
the
rent.
The
other
topic
I
think
should
be
looked
at
is
having
the
gardner
neighborhood
in
full
disclosure.
I'm
moving,
but
I
think
the
gardner
neighborhood
is
a
great
candidate
to
put
buildings
in
or
at
least
higher
buildings,
given
the
location,
it's
too
good.
G
H
The
mtc,
the
regional
bay
area
transit
agency,
has
to
really
want
to
develop
their
bafa
housing
process
in
the
next
few
years.
They
have
to
be
willing
to
want
to
reorganize
the
current
practices
and
bureaucracy
at
the
state
level,
and
they
want
to
facilitate
they
need
to
want
to
facilitate
and
connect
this
to
some
already
well-developed
ideas
from
local
governments
and
local
community
advocacy
and
and
and
in
what
can
be
important
new
concepts
of
vli
eli
and
mixed
income.
H
Housing
casa
has
been
helping
to
facilitate
and
develop
this
thinking
at
the
local
level
for
the
past
few
years
now,
please
refer
to
its
2019
review
of
housing
ideas
that
is
listed
in
one
of
your
memos
today
from
debates
in
july
and
august
about
the
overall
future
of
the
san
jose
general
plan
and
from
fremont
to
redwood
city
cities
across
three
south
bay
area.
Counties
may
be
finding
incredibly
good
ways
to
develop
housing,
equity
and
the
future
of
community
with
lessees
of
a
police
department.
H
B
B
You
know
I
I
feel
like
I've
talked
to
some
housing
producers
and
I
think
that
they
number
one
these
all
these
regulations
had
a
chilling
effect
on
on
that
and
number
two.
What
I'd
like
to
see
is
I've
heard
anecdotally
that
a
lot
of
people
are
moving
out
of
the
area
and
and
how
that
is
going
to
affect
our
you
know
our
overall
goals,
or
should
we
keep
the
same
25
000
unit
goals?
B
If,
if
a
whole
mess
of
people
are
all
leaving
to
say
less
taxed
states,
I've
been
hearing,
a
lot
of
people
are
moving
to
arizona,
texas,
nevada,
and
so
I'd
like
to
know
how,
if
anybody's
analyzing,
you
know
the
the
the
decreasing.
I
think
that
there's
going
to
be
some
decrease
in
our
population
because
of
some
of
this
being
able
to
work
from
home
if
you
will,
rather
than
having
no
drive
to
to
work,
as
is
anybody
looking
into
those
issues.
K
I
think
it's
a
good
question.
I
think
it's
maybe
too
soon
to
kind
of
know
what
the
the
full
extent
of
it
will
be.
I
mean,
as
I
showed
you
know,
vacancies
definitely
increased,
but
most
of
that's
been
driven
by
the
the
vacancy
increase
in
kind
of
the
class.
A
newer
apartments,
if
you
kind
of
go
class
b
and
below
the
the
vacancy,
is
still
somewhat
more
steady
and
overall
number
is
kind
of
really
driven
by
it
by
those
newer
apartments.
K
So
I
think
it's
kind
of
too
soon
to
tell,
and-
and
I
don't
know
you
know
how
it
affects
san
jose
might
be
different
than
you
know,
say
san
francisco
and
some
other
cities
which
I
think
have
seen
even
even
more
kind
of
vacancy
and
and
kind
of
folks
may
be
leaving.
So
I
think
you
know
it's
something
we
definitely
want
to
understand
and
and
want
to
keep
looking
at,
but
I
think
it's
it's
a
little
too
soon
to
know
for
sure
how
it
plays
out.
B
I
I
could
tell
you
that
I
have
two
apartment
complexes
right
next
to
almaden
lake
I
mean
it's
a
it's
a
great
place
to
live
and
they've
had
their
vacancy
signs
up
for
months
now,
a
couple
last
couple
of
months,
and
now
they
have
signs
that
say:
reduced
cost
on
there.
So-
and
these
are,
these
are
like
apartments
with
beautiful
views
of
the
lake
right
next
to
transportation.
B
You
know
light
rail
right
next
to
oak
ridge,
mall
walking
distance.
I
mean
these
are,
and
I
cannot
believe
that
they
can't
rent
these
these
places
out.
So
I'm
I'm
really
puzzled
about,
and
and
one
of
them
is
low
income
and
even
the
low
income
ones
were
having
to
advertise
that.
I
thought
for
sure
that
there
would
be
no
issues
filling
those
up
because
they
you're
usually
a
waiting
list.
B
Anyway,
I
I'm
hoping
that
you
can
include
that
in
a
report
coming
back
to
the
future,
I
know
you're
going
to
be
doing
you're
going
out
to
get
a
an
analyst
or
in
the
future.
So
I'm
hoping
that
you
can
include
some
of
these
questions
on
how
all
these
regulations
that
we
put
together
have
affected
the
housing,
the
housing
builders.
J
Thank
you
chair.
I
just
had
a
quick
question
for,
if
you
go
back
to
rachel's
slide,
or
even
if
you
can't
there
was
rachel,
was
talking
about
the
the
pipeline
and
the
number
of
housing
that
I
guess
was
approved
by
planning.
There
was
something
else
and
then
an
occupancy,
and
I
was
looking
at
that-
and
I
just
had
a
question
about
the
I
guess-
the
step
process
so
yeah.
Here
we
go
so
units
receiving
development,
development
planning,
approvals,
units
receiving
building
permits
and
then
units
receiving
occupancy.
J
A
K
So
so
for
this
chart,
you
kind
of
you
have
to
go
downward.
Only
you
can't
go
across.
This
is
historical,
so
it's
year
over
year,
so
we're
not
taking
away
units
from
the
columns
when
they're
moving
on
to
the
next
stage.
This
is
just
the
the
last.
The
third
slide
that
we
showed
accounted
for
that,
and
that
was
why
it
was
the
overall,
so
they're
they're
kind
of
two
separate
two
separate
numbers.
O
B
K
J
Okay,
all
right
understood.
Thank
you
jared,
I
guess
my
broader
question.
I
I've
already
talked
to
staff
about
north
san
jose
and
and
the
complexities
of
that,
so
I
I
won't
get
into
that,
but
just
to
echo
council
member
canvas's
concerns,
given
that
the
downturn
that
we're
facing
now
and
kind
of
the
the
decreases
in
rent.
J
What
what
do
we
know
about
the
appetite
for
building
in
san
jose
if
we
want
to
get
more
building,
we
got
to
get
people
in
here
and
now
is
a
good
time
to
build
when
things
are
slow
and
people
get
loans
at
low
interest
rates.
But
if
the
rents
aren't
going
to
be
there
for
folks
once
they
build,
how
do
we
balance
that
incentive.
K
Yeah,
I
think
that's
that's.
The
challenge
right
now
is
with
the
rents
that
the
way
they
are
it's
it's
going
to
be
difficult
for
for
for
us
to
see
new
projects
right
now.
It's
also
unclear
at
this
point.
If
construction
costs
have
really
come
down
at
all,
I've
heard
kind
of
mixed
things.
So
I
think
that's
why
we
really
want
to
try
to
engage
that
consultant
in
2021
to
really
understand
where
things
are
at.
K
A
A
D
G
B
O
So
we,
I
know
you
all
have
been
some
of
you
been
anxiously
awaiting
our
new,
affordable
housing,
siting
policy,
and
we
did
want
to
give
you
an
update
today
about
our
progress,
which
had
been
delayed
as
a
result
of
the
covet
19
and
the
housing
department's
needed
response
to
that.
But
we
have
made
progress.
O
We
have
selected
a
consultant
team-
that's
actually
here
today
and
we'll
give
you
an
overview
of
what
work
they've
managed
to
complete
up
to
date
and
then
we're
going
to
go
over
a
timeline
in
which
we
hope
to
complete
this
entire
project
before
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year.
So,
just
reminding
you
what
our
goals
are
in
terms
of
creating
this
citing
policy,
we
want
to
create
something
that
is
consistent
with
our
fair
housing
laws,
both
the
federal
and
state.
O
And
then
we
want
to
find
this
balance
and
the
balance
that
we're
trying
to
find
is.
As
you
know,
we
recently
completed
our
anti-displacement
work
and
what
we're
hearing
from
residents
of
lower
income
neighborhoods
is
that
as
neighborhoods
change
and
there's
residential
displacement,
they
want
opportunities
to
remain
in
there
and
so
citing.
Affordable
housing
in
those
locations
is
really
critical.
A
P
Great
okay,
so
thank
you
for
that
introduction
for
having
us.
My
name
is
dan
rinsler,
I'm
a
senior
policy
analyst
for
the
california
housing
partnership,
which
is
a
private
nonprofit
created
32
years
ago,
and
we
are
dedicated
to
creating
and
preserving
affordable
and
sustainable
homes
for
californians
with
low
incomes
by
providing
financial
policy
solutions
to
non-profit
and
public
partners
like
the
city
of
san
jose
arthur.
Would
you
like
to
introduce
yourself.
Q
P
So
our
first
task
for
the
city
was
to
answer
a
fundamental
question
posed
by
staff,
which
is
how
to
balance
different
siting
priorities
related
to
affirmatively,
furthering
fair
housing.
So,
more
specifically,
how
should
increasing
access
to
opportunity-rich
neighborhoods
for
low-income
families,
which
is
a
priority
for
the
city
as
well
as
for
the
state
across
its
funding
programs?
How
should
that
be
balanced
with
other
priorities
such
as
preventing
displacement
in
lower
income,
communities
of
color
that
are
now
experiencing
gentrification?
P
And
so
to
answer
this
question?
The
city
asked
us
to
review
academic
literature,
as
well
as
what
other
cities
across
the
country
were
doing
in
this
area
and
the
following
two
slides
summarize
our
findings
from
that
first
scan
and
broadly,
what
we
found
is
that
there
are
no
prescriptive
solutions
available
off
the
shelf,
as
is
typical
with
complex
policy
questions.
P
But
you
know,
prioritization
of
citing
priorities
should
depend
on
local
contents
and
there
are
some
guideposts
that
the
city
can
use
in
establishing
those
priorities
based
on
the
literature
and
the
analysis
that
we
will
be
completing
this
fall
and
winter
for
the
city
as
part
of
our
scope
of
work.
So,
first
for
the
review
of
the
literature,
we
picked
out
several
themes
that
are
shown
here.
P
Second,
access
to
opportunity
varies
quite
a
bit
by
race
and
income,
so
studies
have
shown
that
in
general,
higher
income
people
are
more
likely
to
live
in
opportunity.
Rich
neighborhoods,
that's
probably
not
a
surprise.
However.
Race
appears
to
be
a
larger,
determining
factor
than
income
in
some
cases
in
determining
access
to
these
types
of
neighborhoods.
So,
for
example,
a
study
that
we
actually
participated
in
on
the
entire
bay
area
showed
that
even
higher
income
black
in
latinx
households
were
much
less
likely
to
live
in
opportunity-rich
neighborhoods
than
low-income
white
and
asian
households.
P
P
Programs
typically
haven't
offered
families
these
kinds
of
choices
and
opportunities,
which
relates
to
the
next
point,
which
is
that
studies
you
know
have
shown
nationally
and
in
california
as
a
whole,
that
affordable
housing
is
typically
concentrated
in
lower
resource
neighborhoods
and
has
generally
followed
existing
patterns
of
racial
segregation
and
concentrated
poverty.
So
in
other
words,
affordable.
Housing
investments
have
not
really
aligned
with
the
likely
location
preferences
of
many
low-income
families
of
color,
nor
with
the
broader
policy
goal
of
increasing
access
to
opportunity
and
reversing
patterns
of
segregation.
So
these
are
findings
from
broader
studies.
P
There's
plenty
of
evidence
to
suggest
that
there's
demand
for
more
choices
and
that
increasing
choices
will
help
stop
generational
cycles
of
poverty
and
increase
economic
mobility.
But
not
everybody
wants
to
move
and
you're
still
faced
with
the
problem
of
inequality
of
resources
and
opportunity
across
neighborhoods,
and
you
know
correcting
this.
Imbalance
should,
as
a
matter
of
principle,
relate
not
just
to
the
question
of
where
to
site,
affordable
housing,
but
also
where
and
how
to
target
a
broader
set
of
policies
and
investments
beyond
housing
like
education,
social
supports
youth
services,
transportation,
employment
programs.
P
So
our
review
of
13
cities
that
were
identified
by
city
staff
and
our
consultant
team
revealed
that
you
know.
Actually
very
few
cities
have
established
citing
priorities
along
the
lines
of
what
san
jose
is
considering
here,
where
there's
an
overall
arching
policy
that
establishes
goals
or
investment
rules
relating
to
different
locational
siding
priorities.
So,
in
other
words,
san
jose
is
asking
questions
intended
to
form
its
own,
citing
policy
that
few,
if
any
city
has
cities
have
actually
answered.
P
That
said,
we
did
identify
three
cities,
albuquerque
austin,
texas
and
washington
dc-
that
have
models
that
may
be
useful
for
the
city
of
san
jose.
To
consider
each
of
their
approaches
appears
to
be
a
reflection
of
local
priorities,
so
in
albuquerque
the
need
for
affordable
housing
in
high
opportunity
areas
in
austin,
a
desire
to
equally
balance,
multiple
siding
priorities
or
in
dc
a
desire
to
equalize
housing,
affordability
in
each
planning
district.
P
You
know,
rather
than
an
assessment
of
the
degree
to
which
local
housing
patterns
reflect
an
imbalance
with
respect
to
different
affha
sighting
priorities,
so
in
other
words,
these
three
cities
provide
useful
models,
but
none
appear
to
have
established
citing
priorities
based
on
the
type
of
analysis
that
the
city
has
asked
us
to
complete
as
part
of
our
scope
of
work,
which
we
think
will
help.
The
city
establish
priorities
for
san
jose
that
are
both
evidence-based
and
tailored
to
local
context,
so
note
to
wrap
up
this
slide.
P
Our
recommendation,
which
we've
made
to
staff,
is
to
use
you
know
broader
lessons
from
the
literature
such
as
that
children
of
low-income
families
across
racial
and
ethnic
groups
have
better
outcomes
in
opportunity-rich
neighborhoods
and
that
there
is
probably
unmet
demand
among
those
families
to
move
to
those
types
of
areas,
along
with
analysis
that
we
will
be
completing
in
subsequent
tasks.
This
fall
and
winter,
such
as
the
degree
to
which
you
know,
affordable
housing
in
the
city
and
patterns
of
racial
and
economic
concentration,
diverged
from
the
geography
of
opportunity-rich
neighborhoods
in
the
city.
Q
Thank
you
dan,
as
dan
mentioned,
the
first
task
involved
us
looking
or
taking
a
survey
of
cities
around
the
country
and
finding
out
what
their
policies
were.
The
next
two
tasks
of
an
a
task
work
plan
involved
us
collecting
data
on
socio
socioeconomic
factors
within
the
city,
market
rate,
housing
and
affordable
housing
within
the
city's
boundaries.
We
focused
at
on
several
different
geographic
boundaries
throughout
the
city,
so
that
we
could
inform
different
levels
of
the
policy
which
include
the
census,
block
group
and
tract
also
city,
council,
districts
and
urban
villages.
O
Okay
back
to
staff,
so,
as
you
can
see,
we
are
planning
to
go
to
the
full
council
with
this
report
on
november
10th.
We're
then
going
to
go
out
and
do
some
community
listening
sessions
to
better
understand
both
people
who
actually
live
and
have
a
desire
to
be
in
affordable
housing
and
where
they
want
to
go
and
then
neighborhoods
as
well.
O
I
think
there
is
this
difference
in
terms
of
approach
in
in
terms
of
who
are
we
trying
to
create
the
policy
in
terms
of
addressing
their
needs
and
so
again
listening
to
people
who
need
affordable
housing
and
what
their
needs
are,
and
then
our
residents
as
well.
So
we
plan
to
take
some
of
the
work,
then,
in
the
spring,
to
the
housing
community
development
commission
for
their
initial
feedback
after
we
get
their
feedback.
H
Hi,
thank
you
for
this
item.
You
know
I'm
so
geared.
You
know
that
that
housing
should
be
inclusive,
and
I
I'm
always
considering
how
low
and
very
low
and
extremely
low
needs
to
be
part
of
everyday
housing.
My
my
words
my
speech
on
my
last
item.
I
should
have
done
it
for
this
one.
I'm
very
sorry
I
didn't,
but
you
know
I
just
the
way
my
thinking
is
is
is
to
very
much
what
I
just
described,
and
so
it
really
belongs
on
this
item.
So
so
thank
you
for
this
item.
H
You
know
they're
questioning
them
themselves
at
this
time.
How
can
they
be
a
better
facilitator
of
that
between
state
and
local
level?
Housing
issues,
so
you
know,
there's
hopeful
things
on
the
horizon.
Both
fremont
and
redwood
city
are
doing
some
interesting
things
things
in
housing.
I
I
recommend
to
look
at
and
it's
to
address,
equity
and
just
good
luck
to
yourselves
and
and
always
count
on
the
everyday
community,
really
ask
their
advice
and
opinion
that
always
really
can
help
thanks.
B
G
G
It's
really
really
been
a
problem,
but
I'm
gonna
speak
on
the
issue.
There
shouldn't
be
low-income
housing
in
my
neighborhood,
I'm
sorry
it
wasn't
built
that
way.
Single-Family
dwelling
and
it's
if
you
want
to
do
low-income
housing,
find
a
new
swath
of
land
and
build
favelas
or
something
I
don't
know.
G
Maybe
in
the
hillside,
I'm
like
you
know
what
maybe
we
can
make
it
like
it's
brazil
and
we
can
build
sevillas
in
the
hillside,
because
you
know
there
isn't
any
room
in
my
neighborhood
for
parking
anything
else
which,
by
the
way,
parking
control
two
times
in
one
day,
they're
cruising
up
and
down
my
cul-de-sac
for
what
in
the
middle
of
suburbia
america
and
you
guys
want
to
pack
more
houses
into
suburbia
america,
make
it
more
dense,
less
parking?
No,
no!
It's
not
going
to
work.
G
I
mean
all
these
failing
strip
malls
after
coving,
maybe
maybe
make
them
re-zone
it
have
a.
You
know,
build
a
cement
housing
blocks
like
they
do
in
europe.
You
know
the
ones
that
look
like
they
used
to
call
them
crew
chefs.
That's
what
you
guys
need
to
build.
You
can
pack
a
bunch
of
people
in
and
we're
gonna
have
covet
and
plagues
year
after
year.
G
I
don't
know
what
you
guys
are
thinking,
but
do
you
think
that
someone's
going
to
live
in
a
neighborhood
and
instantly
they're
going
to
get
rid
of
their
drug
habits
and
they're
going
to
become
upstanding
citizens?
You
do
that
on
your
own.
You
know,
you
know,
you
know
what
you
do
if
you're
living
in
a
terrible
place,
that's
the
incentive
to
get
out
and
do
better
for
yourself,
but
no
you
guys.
G
B
C
A
C
A
M
You,
my
name
is
antonina
and
good
afternoon
committee
members.
Thank
you
for
listening
to
us.
We
are
a
group
of
residents
who
support
the
citing
policy
next
slide.
Please,
there
are
a
couple
of
objectives
we
want
to
accomplish.
First,
we
want
to
work
with
the
city
to
adopt
the
policy
requiring
equitable
dispersion
of
affordable
and
supportive
housing
and
the
related
services
throughout
all
the
city
of
city
of
san
jose
districts.
M
Second,
we
want
to
require
the
city's
reviewers
and
decision
makers
to
consider
the
density
of
affordable
and
supportive
housing
as
part
of
the
review
and
approval
process
to
prevent
over
concentration
next
slide.
Please
I've
been
emphasizing
affordable
and
supportive,
because
there's
a
distinction
between
these
housing
projects
affordable,
is
your
elf
vlf
lf
housing
for
families,
adults
and
seniors.
M
Supportive
are
the
facilities
with
the
wrap
around
services
to
address
homelessness,
mental
health
issues,
addiction,
disabilities
and
such
next
slide.
Please.
This
map,
as
of
september
2019,
shows
the
concentration
of
these
types
of
housing
in
the
city,
green
for
affordable
red
for
supportive
next
slide.
Please
this
table
gives
the
data
behind
the
map
more
than
50
percent
of
the
affordable
and
supportive
housings
are
in
district
3,
6
and
7.
next
slide.
Please
another
look
at
the
data.
Excuse
me
shows
supportive
housing
units,
the
ones
with
the
special
population.
M
R
Okay,
so
my
name
is
lance
shoemaker
and
our
concern
is
something
that
the
city
itself
recognizes,
and
this
is
a
quote
from
the
staff
member
that
accompanied
today's
presentation,
which
is
that
historically,
affordable
housing.
Siding
patterns
have
been
concentrated
in
certain
areas
which
reinforce
existing
patterns
of
racial
segregation
and
concentrated
poverty.
R
Next
slide,
this
concern
is
not
just
in
san
jose.
This
is
a
quote
from
the
the
journal.
Zoning
practice
from
2010,
which
is
published
by
the
american
planning
association,
and
this
article
was
looking
at
the
concentration
of
services
for
homeless
individuals
and
found
that
the
concentration
of
services
and
facilities
for
the
chronically
homeless
and
synergy
of
problem
behaviors
can
overwhelm
the
carrying
capacity
of
a
neighborhood
next
slide.
R
For
example,
this
is
my
neighborhood.
I
live
in
the
400
block
of
north
3rd
street
in
the
hinsley
historic
district
within
a
quarter
mile
of
my
house
are
279,
affordable
units
and
83
supportive
units.
For
example,
I
live
next
door
to
the
heritage
home
a
home
for
unwed
mothers.
I
live
less
than
a
half
block
away
from
the
salvation
army,
which
provides
78
beds
for
homeless
men.
I
live
a
half
block
away
from
villas
on
the
park,
which
is
83
supportive
units.
R
I
live
two
short
blocks
away
from
the
kelsey
project,
which
is
approved,
but
not
yet
built
housing
for
disabled
people
and
affordable
housing.
I
live
three
blocks
away
from
casa
de
clara,
which
is
a
social
service
provider
providing
services
to
the
homeless
on
site
and,
as
you
can
also
see,
I
live
near
a
number
of
affordable
housing
projects.
Additionally,
the
next
supportive
housing
project
that
path
will
be
developing
in
the
city
is
proposed
for
approximately
a
mile
from
my
house.
G
M
Okay,
our
group
has
five
recommendations
to
be
considered
for
a
robust
sighting
policy
and
these
recommendations
closely
align
with
the
research
findings
from
the
consultants
hired
to
develop
a
policy
for
san
jose
first.
Our
first
recommendation
is
to
encourage
economic
and
racial
diversity
by
building
all
types
of
housing
from
the
very
low
income,
supportive
housing
to
market
rate
luxury
in
all
resource
areas,
because
neighborhoods
do
matter,
and
we
do
need
to
end
the
disparities
that
have
characterized
our
current
housing
policies
for
the
past
50
years.
M
M
M
Next
slide,
please:
our
third
recommendation
aligns
with
the
fourth
research
finding
that
affordable
housing
patterns
have
followed
existing
patterns
of
racial
segregation
and
concentrated
poverty.
We
need
to
address
the
fiscal
solvency
of
lower
resource
areas
where
non-profits
are
resulting
in
lost
revenue,
meaning
that
services
and
infrastructure
funding
is
lost
when
the
very
nature
of
the
clients
served
in
these
housing
facilities
require
greater
services
and
support
victoria
will
be
speaking
next.
S
S
As
an
example
of
an
existing
neighborhood's
carrying
capacity
was
given
by
lance
shoemaker
of
the
hensley
historic
neighborhood.
Here
we
find
the
entire
array
of
supportive,
affordable
housing.
The
city
developed
over
time
all
located
in
a
half
mile
radius
reaching
a
saturation
point
for
this
neighborhood
carrying
capacity
at
the
time.
The
city
did
not
monitor
the
concentration
as
facilities
were
proposed
and
sites
approved
and
developed
with
the
citing
policy
plan.
The
monitors
the
cumulative
impacts
neighborhoods
will
not
undergo
this
level
of
saturation
in
the
future.
S
Our
fifth
recommendation
is
to
ensure
the
allocation
of
resources
just
friday,
governor
newsom,
viewing
a
transitional
housing
site
with
our
mayor
stated
that
the
importance
of
funding
support
services
to
guarantee
the
health
and
welfare
of
residents
and
the
community
in
our
efforts
to
house
our
most
vulnerable
citizens
to
ensure
funding.
The
city
must
collaboratively
work
with
the
county
to
maintain
direct
and
indirect
services
for
the
dependents
and
the
surrounding
community.
T
Four
monitor
cumulative
impacts
to
the
community,
the
citing
policy
that
a
citing
policy
that
requires
cumulative
impacts
be
considered,
helps
ensure
for
everyone,
an
equitable
and
thriving
community
and
five
ensure
allocation
of
resources.
So
the
city
and
county
have
a
symbiotic
relationship
when
it
comes
to
structures
and
their
services,
and
we
know
that
budgets
fluctuate
knowing.
That
means
the
city
and
county
can
plan
for
the
promised
resources
being
available
next
slide,
please!
T
A
E
E
Thank
you
chair
so,
and
thank
you
to
staff.
I
actually.
I
really
appreciate
the
presentation
from
our
consultant.
I
I'm
excited
that
we're
finally
kind
of
moving
along
sorry,
my
my
son's
excited
over
here
as
well,
so
I
I'm
obviously
excited
with
the
progress
here.
It
has
been
some
time
coming
several
years.
E
I've
been
kind
of
clamoring
for
this
work
to
advance
and
and
again,
although,
although
I've
been
impatient,
obviously
it's
it's
certainly
exciting
again
to
see
the
progress.
I
also
want
to
mention
that
I'm
really
really
appreciative
of
the
work
from
my
constituents.
The
presentation
that
you
all
just
saw
and-
and
I
know
across
the
city
and
then
also
just
across
the
county
and
certainly
throughout
the
whole
region
and
everywhere,
really
where
the
opportunities
for
affordable
housing
and
specifically
permanent
supportive
housing
come
up.
E
There
is
no
doubt
always
some
some
visceral
reactions
and
what
we
commonly
refer
to
as
nimby
attitudes
of
people.
That
did
want
to
argue
as
to
why
particular
affordable
housing
should
not
be
located
in
their
neighborhoods
and-
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
constituents
for
really
taking
the
time
as
as
they
have
to
dive
in
and
invest
some
some
energy
into
this
topic.
We've
had
numerous
discussions
about
it
and
and
and
for
them
to
to
understand
really
what
what
some
of
the
challenges
are.
E
Why
we
have
you
know,
sort
of
gotten
into
the
some
of
the
predicaments
that
we
are
in
understanding
the
inequities
that
are
across
the
system,
understanding
the
realities
that
we
do
need
to
be
building
affordable
housing
of
of
all
levels,
including
permanent,
supportive
housing,
but
that
we
need
to
be
doing
so
in
all
of
our
communities
across
the
board.
And
when
you
look
at
the
historical
development
of
really
any
type
of
affordable
housing.
E
But
predominantly
as
you
get
to
the
deeper
levels
of
affordability,
you
see
high
concentrations
in
particular
areas
and
mostly
lower
income
areas
or
low
resource
areas.
As
the
report
pointed
out-
and
you
see
almost
none-
and
sometimes
sometimes
none
in
more
affluent
areas
or
high
resourced
areas,
and-
and
I
think
you
know-
that
is
certainly
not
the
the
direction
that
we
want
to
keep
going.
E
We
won't
stop
building
affordable
housing
within
the
city,
but
we
need
to
start
doing
so
more
equitably
and
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
see
that
from
our
policies
all
the
way
on
down
to
our
practices.
And
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
this
work,
moving
forward,
getting
input
from
the
community
across
the
board.
But
ultimately,
in
the
end
of
the
day.
E
D
D
D
As
we
talk
about
all
of
our
housing
goals
and
at
abag
we
had
a
discussion
for
the
first
time
there
were,
you
know,
affordable
housing
allocations,
along
with
that,
which
was,
I
think,
an
important
conversation
to
have
is,
as
we
have
sort
of
equity
built
into
the
region,
that
we
have
these
same
discussions
around
equity
in
san
jose,
and
a
lot
of
this
is
the
same
stuff.
I
mean
we
know
that
these
are
issues
right.
D
The
biggest
predictor
of
health
is
what
zip
code
you
live
in
and
and
we're
learning
that
now
with
covid
for
people
that
didn't
know
it
before
now
now
they
might
really
know
it
now
that
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic,
and
we
have
folks
who
are
living
in
overcrowded
living
conditions
because
of
a
a
housing
crisis.
So,
yes,
we
need
to
build
housing.
We
need
to
build
housing,
more
housing,
particularly
housing
at
an
affordable
level,
and
particularly
at
extremely
low
income,
where
the
discrepancies
are
greatest.
D
I
I
wanted
to
kind
of
before
I
talked
more
read
off
a
few
of
the
questions
that
we
had
had
the
last
time.
This
came
to
this
committee.
I
believe
it
was
last
fall,
but
there
were
questions
that
I
thought
were
really
helpful.
It
was
in
the
housing
presentation.
Yes,
it
was
november
5th
when
this
came
to
this
committee
last
and
there
were
the
questions
that
we
asked
ourselves
were.
What
types
of
neighborhoods
should
we
develop?
Affordable
housing
in?
What
are
the
characteristics?
D
And
what
other
characteristics
should
we
consider
to
demonstrate
that
a
neighborhood
is
changing?
So
these
were
some
of
the
questions
that
we
asked
ourselves
almost
a
year
ago,
and
this
presentation
was
touched
on
some
of
that.
I
still
think
we
have
some
more
work
to
do
and
I
look
forward
into
digging
into
albuquerque,
austin
and
dc
myself.
D
It
is
an
issue
I
know.
Frankl
mckinley
school
district
has
never
maximized
bond
spending
because
of
that
there
are
other
state
restrictions
on
how
you
spend
your
bonds.
But
but
it's
a
big
issue,
and
so
I
wanted
to
bring
that
up,
because
a
lot
of
folks
aren't
aware
of
those
things
they
aren't
aware
of
what
the
impacts,
the
social
impacts
of
such
a
huge
imbalance,
like
the
one
that
exists
in
in
district
7,
the
impacts
that
that
makes
on
things
like
education.
D
And
might
I
add,
I
know
where
the
city
of
san
jose,
but
my
colleague
councilmember
perls,
and
I
sit
on
the
unhoused
task
force
and
we
find
ourselves
reminding
our
colleagues
in
santa
clara
county
that
this
is
also
a
county-wide
responsibility,
not
just
san
jose
or
not
just
any
one
city,
but
we
as
we
look
at
equitably
bursting
much
needed,
affordable
housing
that
we
also
look
at
the
city.
In
terms
of
where
we
answer
those
questions
that
we
asked
ourselves
last
fall.
D
D
D
So
in
terms
of
listening
sessions
with
the
community
of
january
through
march,
we
are
still
in
a
pandemic,
and
I
know,
for
example,
in
my
community,
we've
had
to
actually
hold
some
in-person
socially
distanced
meetings
to
address
some
some
some
issues
of
violence
and
things
that
were
really
urgent.
So
we
needed
to
go
out
there
physically,
but
we
are
still
in
a
pandemic.
And
what
is
what?
What
are
you
thinking
in
terms
of
those
listening
sessions?
D
Thank
you
that's
helpful,
and
I
appreciate
that.
I
know
that
everybody,
you
know
we're
all
kind
of
trying
to
balance
different
things,
but
there
are
some
places
like
in
district
7
where
that
digital
divide,
and
also
we
have
digital
deserts.
Zoom
has
been
a
real
challenge
for
communities
like
mine,
and
I
know
it's
a
challenge
for
everyone.
D
D
You
know
we
always
talk
about
the
city
being
the
town
square.
Maybe
I
talk
about
the
city
being
the
town
square,
like
people
come
to
us,
whether
it's
a
city
or
county
or
state
or
federal
issue,
because
we're
there,
but
schools
are
probably
closer
to
a
lot
of
folks
than
we
are
and
they're
also
kind
of
trying
to
do.
A
combination
of
in-person
and
digital-
and
I
know
a
lot
of
school
districts-
are
kind
of
trying
to
figure
out
how
they're
going
to
handle
school
in
january,
and
so
that
might
be
an
option.
D
And
then
I
had
a
question
on
then
so
we're
going
to
have
the
listening
sessions
with
the
community
and
then
we're
going
to
produce
the
administrative
and
final
draft
draft
reports
in
march
2021
and
then
another
series
of
public
meetings
are
you?
How
are
you
envisioning?
Those
public
meetings
for
input?
Is
that
in
every
council
district
or
is
that
in
zones
or
how?
How
do
you
picture
that.
O
I
think
it
really
do
it's
really
going
to
be
dependent
upon
where
we
are
with
covid
in
terms
of
how
easy
or
hard
it
is
for
us
to
do
the
outreach
you
know.
We
have
certainly
learned
a
lot
about
outreach
over
the
last
two
years,
and
so
I
think,
as
we
get
closer
to
trying
to
figure
out
who's,
most
impacted
by
this
policy
will
try
to
ensure
that
we're
really
getting
out
to
those
particular
groups
impacted.
O
O
We
can
have
a
policy,
but
it's
just
not
going
to
work
because
the
opportunity
which
is
created
by
the
general
plan
and
the
zoning
don't
afford
us
areas
where
we
can
actually
build.
So
anyway,
going
back
to
your
question.
We're
gonna
see
where
we're
at
with
kovid
that
greatly
impacts
the
challenges
of
what
we
do.
But
we
certainly
are
gonna,
be
very
mindful
of
the
need
to
get
this
kind
of
range
of
voices.
D
O
It
has
not
so
there
hasn't
been
necessarily
I
mean
the
housing
department
has
been
thinking
about.
Oh
my
gosh,
this
absolutely
is
impacted
by
the
work
that
the
planning
department
does,
and
you
know
it
hasn't
been
on
their
agenda
right.
So
the
city
council
sets
the
agenda
of
different
items
that
they
can
talk
about.
O
C
Sorry
I
needed
a
snack
yeah,
so
I
think
it's
the
responsibility
of
our
community
and
economic
development
csa
to
start
having
those
conversations
across
departments
which
we
do
every
week
and
we've
started
it
on
this
yeah.
The
the
scope
of
the
general
plan,
four-year
review
is
is
set
by
the
council,
but
that
doesn't
mean
you
know
as
staff.
We
can't
have
conversations
and
and
consider
bringing
forward
recommendations
or
putting
things
on
agendas
where
that's
appropriate.
D
Thank
you,
and
particularly
as
these
goals
are
set
region-wide.
I
think
it
gives
us
another
opportunity
to
talk
about
it
as
a
city
when
we
look
at
zoning
and
placement
of
housing,
including
affordable
housing,
to
provide
the
type
of
density
that,
frankly,
is
going
to
come,
whether
we
want
it
to
or
not
right,
so
we
need
to
kind
of
figure
out
as
a
city
where
that
density
is
going
to
go
both
for
market
rate
and
affordable
housing,
okay,
and-
and
that's
it
for
me.
Thank
you.
T
Actually,
council
member-
I
just
wanted
to
chime
in
to
your
question.
This
is
kristin
clements
with
the
housing
department,
and
I
I
appreciate
your
questions
about
outreach
and
how
this
initiative
kind
of
blends
in
or
could
be
coordinated
with
some
other
items
and
I've
been
thinking
as
you're
talking.
This
really
is
kind
of
close
to
our
work
on
the
assessment
of
fair
housing.
That's
going
to
be
forthcoming
about.
T
You
know,
assessing
kind
of
what
are
barriers
and
what
are
the
needs
in
different
communities
across
different
neighborhoods
across
the
city
and
we
kind
of
put
that
a
little
bit
on
hold
due
to
covid.
But
your
comments
were
right
on
par
with
the
assessment
of
our
housing
work
that
we're
going
to
be
coming
back
to
about.
Is
there
a
base
level
of
service
for
all
neighborhoods
for
infrastructure
purposes?
T
T
They
may
not
be
seeing
as
much
dense
development
yet
in
order
to
access
areas
of
the
city
that
aren't
quite
seeing
affordable
there
now,
but
it
doesn't
mean
that
we
couldn't
be
encouraging
those
areas
to
move
forward
in
new
and
different
ways,
and
so
that
was
what
that
strategy
was
about
on
our
anti-displacements
city-wide
strategy
platform.
That's
exactly
the
analysis
I
wanted
to
tie
into
here
to
see
if
we
can
get
into
different
neighborhoods.
F
So
I'll,
just
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
first
I
want
to
thank
the
community
for
your
presentation
on
the
sighting
policy
and
I
wondered
if
we
might
be
able
to
get
a
hold
of
the
slide
deck.
It
was
really
valuable
to
me
and
I
wasn't
able
to
take
notes
quick
enough
if
it's,
if
it's
already
in
our
presentation
or
a
packet
somewhere,
I'm
sorry
I
missed
it,
but
if
we
could
have
that,
that
would
be
great.
F
P
F
The
reason
I
want
him
to
show
this
is
because
some
may
think
that
district
9
doesn't
have
any
affordable
housing
that
we're
all
single-family
owner
occupied
residents,
but
when
I
saw
the
the
slide
as
you
went
through
it
really
quickly,
dan,
I
saw
that
district
9
was
towards
the
middle
of
affordable
housing,
and
that
made
me
happy.
I
I
firmly
believe
all
districts
should
share
in
affordable
housing,
but
it
should
not
just
be
a
random
placement.
F
F
We
need
to
make
sure
that
folks
who
are
living
in
the
those
higher
density
taller
buildings
are
able
to
get
around
more
easily
and
unfortunately
in
district
9
and
district
10
and
some
other
districts,
we
don't
have
really
good
transit.
So
we
need
to
put
pressure
on
our
local
representatives
to
make
sure
we
have
better
transit
bus
systems
etc.
Otherwise
it
doesn't
make
sell
sense
to
build,
affordable
housing.
You've
got
affordable
housing
where
no
one's
going
to
move
into
because
they
won't
be
able
to
get
to
their
works.
F
F
Oh,
it
was
yeah.
Okay,
I'm
sorry!
Well
anyway,
thank
you,
but
what
I
saw
was-
and
I
was
pleased
to
see
it-
that
district
9
was
not
towards
the
top,
obviously,
but
it
was
in
the
middle,
and
that
made
me
proud
to
know
that
district
9
already
has
affordable
housing,
and
I
do
have
one
project
coming
in
using
where
the
developer
is
using
21
ab2162
to
build
affordable
housing
and
supportive
housing.
F
E
Yeah
I'm
happy
to
share
offline,
but
in
a
brief
statement
there
have
been
concerns
with
some
of
the
activities
happening
outside
of
the
building.
There
have
been
some
residents
within
the
building
that
have
had
some
incidents
and
I
think
it's
no
different
than
you
know
some
other
newer
housings
that
we
see,
especially
within
the
first
year
of
housing.
E
Somebody
that's
been
on
the
street
for
15
plus
years
with
you
know:
drug
alcohol,
mental
illness
issues,
so
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
anything
out
of
the
normal,
but
unfortunately,
obviously
as
it's
been
a
challenging
year,
we're
working
through
those
with
with
them,
and
and
that's
why
we
do
have
good
neighbor
policies
and
we
do
meet
monthly
with
the
residents
or
excuse
me
with
the
nearby
residents
and
path.
The
operators.
There
are
villas
in
the
park,
but
happy
to
follow
up
offline
as
well.
F
F
I
think
we're
all
of
us
are
seeing
some
level
of
development
in
our
communities
and
we
need
to
make
sure
it
doesn't
impact
traffic
anymore
or
into
a
greater
effect,
or
if
it
does,
we
have
mitigation
for
those
put
put
in
place,
but
I
really
appreciate
the
two
reports.
I
look
forward
to
the
the
report
coming
to
council
and
the
outreach
that
we're
going
to
make
to
the
different
communities
and
that
we
spread
our
opportunities
to
offer
input
far
and
wide.
F
There
are
nimbies,
of
course,
but
there
are
also
yummys
people
who
want
these
kind
of
developments
they're
in
their
in
their
backyards.
We
do
have
to
be
careful
the
neighborhoods,
if
they're
single
stories,
if
there's
a
tall
building
going
up
next
to
them.
They
may
object
to
that
and
we
might
object
to
that
too.
So
we
have
to
be
thoughtful
and
careful
about
how
we
do
that,
but
it
is
important
that
we
build
more
housing.
We
are
going
the
only
way
we
saw
the
numbers
earlier
in
the
housing
crisis.
F
Work
plan
we're
nowhere
near
to
meeting
our
goals.
The
only
way
we're
going
to
meet
our
goals
is
to
perhaps
loosen
the
development
guidelines,
changing
the
commercial
restriction
on
the
1.5
acres
that
was
mentioned
earlier
and
allow
more
affordable
housing
to
be
built,
but
we
must
be
thoughtful
and
we
must
engage
our
community
as
much
as
possible.
F
So
I'm
I'm
supportive
of
this
coming
forward.
I've
said
that
many
times
publicly
that
I
support
affordable
housing
and
supportive
housing
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
do
have
the
funding
that
goes
and
the
partnership
that
goes
with
the
supportive
housing
services
that
we,
that
is
provided
by
the
county
and
other
providers.
So
with
that
that
I
conclude
my
my
comments.
Thank
you.
C
F
B
Thank
you-
and
I
also
I
want
to
echo
some
of
the
the
thanks
and
some
of
the
concerns
that
my
colleagues
have
expressed-
accounts
member
pam
foley.
Thank
you
for
taking
over.
In
a
pinch
at
somebody
at
the
door,
you
know,
working
from
home
is
a
little
tough
sometimes,
and
nobody
was
nobody
was
answering
the
door.
So
in
any
case,
I
wanted
to.
You
know
really
thank
maya
for
her
thoughts
on
you
know,
and
the
county
does
need
to
step
up
and
do
more.
B
You
know
the
san
jose
cannot
be
the
solution
for
the
entire
region's
problems,
and
I
wish
I
could
see
some.
You
know
some
houses
going
up
in
mountain
view
and
santa
clara
and
cupertino,
and
some
of
these
folks
that
are
continuing
to
build
in
bringing
businesses
one
after
the
other
and
not
building
housing.
B
I
think
that
a
lot
of
these
cities
depend
on
san
jose,
quite
frankly,
to
house
some
of
the
population
and
low
income
and
and
any
other
populations
and
high
income
too.
I
also
don't
want
everybody
to
think
that
you
know
that,
for
example,
district
10
is
against
housing.
We've
already
I've
already
authored
I've
authorized
the
first
five-story
building
on
gallup
and
then
we're
we're
going
forward.
Gallop
mesa,
I
don't
know
and
shovel,
never
seems
to
get
into
the
ground.
B
B
Cutting
I've
presented
several
ideas
and,
and
I'm
hoping
staff
one
day
will
act
on
them.
I've
even
presented
a
memo.
That's
on
this
rules
committee
that
I
I
really
hope
that
we
can
get
staff
support
behind,
because
it
is
a
way
to
provide
low-income
housing,
not
supportive
housing
but
low-income
housing.
B
In
the
future,
and
and
do
it
more
equitably
and
in
every
district
possible,
I
noticed
that
district
eight
doesn't
have
much
opportunities
there,
and
I
agree
with
that.
We
do
have
to
have
some
dispersion
of
these,
but
ashan
you
can't
build.
You
know
you
can't
you
can't
exactly
build
it
on
the
on
the
hilltops
of
of
silver
creek,
because
there's
no
way
that
people
can
get
in
and
out
of
the
area.
So
so
it
has
to
be
sensible
where
we're
locating
housing,
not
just
disper.
B
You
know
the
plan
can't
just
be
dispersion
for
dispersion's
sake.
It
has
to
make
financial
and
financial
and
sense
on
the
density
as
as
as
jackie
announced,
it
has
to
be
dense
enough
and
you
can't
put
density
everywhere.
I
know
that
in
my
district
I've
had
one
a
community
meeting
recently
on
zoom,
where
the
whole
and
discussion
was
was
about
the
proposal
to
do
fourplexes
by
right
in
single-family
homes
and
people
are
up
in
arms
about
that
idea.
So
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
convincing.
B
B
That
builds
a
reputation
in
quite
frankly
and
if
we
don't
have
good
operators
we're
not
going
to
get
people
willingness
from
the
public
to
accept
more
units
in
in
their
districts
or
in
their
neighborhoods.
So
that's
the
end
of
my
comments.
I
appreciate
the
staffs
report
on
this
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
seeing
november
november
10th
right
kim.

You
guys
need
to
test
the
phone
number
and
the
code
before
you
post
it.
Sometimes
I
think
things
get
it
gets
cut
and
pasted.
I
don't
know,
but
it
is
not
acceptable.
To
not
be
able
to
call
in
june
does
not
work.
For
me,
I've
tried
every
which
way
we
all
know.
Zoom
is
terrible.
It's
not
very
good.
I
don't
know
why
you
guys
use
it,
but
once
again
pam
foley
staff
came
through
for
me
and
and
helped
me.
G
You
know
call
in.
I
appreciate
that,
but
I
shouldn't
have
to
I
shouldn't
have
to
do
this
every
other
week
and
I
shouldn't
have
to
have
zoom,
so
you
guys
need
to
not
only
fix
zoom
and
these
phone
numbers
but
fix
the
roads
and
the
potholes,
and
everything
else
is
wrong
with
this
city,
but
no,
you
guys
want
to
cram
more
people
in
here.

Looking
for
people
looking
for
violators
of
people
who
lived
on
that
and
on
that
street
for
over
50
years,
these
are
nice
homes,
people
don't
park
incorrectly
and
it's
a
waste
of
taxpayers
dollars.
You
your
city,
all
you
people
who
represent
san
jose
when
you
call
the
police
or
fire
department,
it
takes
forever
for
them
to
come
out.
There's
a
house.
H
Hi,
thank
you
thanks
a
lot
for
the
meeting
today,
the
november
10th
date
for
for
to
bring
this
the
past.
The
previous
item.
Back.
It's
a
very
interesting
idea.
It'll
bring
the
idea
of
unity,
community
unity.
I
think
good
luck
in
how
you
can
work
on
the
on
its
efforts
to
offer
a
few
additional
thoughts
on
housing.
H
It
seems
the
housing
forgiveness
intentions
of
ab3088
has
left
ourselves
short
in
some
places
for
the
next
few
years.
As
san
jose
mayor,
sam
ricardo,
has
politely
warned
recently.
We
may
be
headed
for
another
foreclosure
and
recession
crisis
in
the
next
few
years.
We
have
to
learn
to
be
open
and
better
trust.
The
funding
and
financial
systems
being
developed
at
the
state
level
around
cobit
19
issues
and
learn
how
to
better,
develop
ab3088.
H
H
That
will
be
needed
for
the
next
few
years,
with
these
housing
ideas
and
needs
and
recession
needs
and
also
he
can
help
with
a
sense
of
unity,
organization
and
good
practices
at
the
domestic
level.
These
are
forms
of
good
reasoning
and
a
organization
that
can
bring
peace
and
good
practices
and
good
thinking
at
the
local
level.
That
I
hope,
can
then
help
develop
a
peaceful
world
that,
as
I
try
to
talk
about
here,
often
what
I'm
trying
to
work
towards.
