A
All
right
well,
thank
you
for
that
council
member
promised
that
he
is
coming,
but
running
late
and
I.
Don't
have
any
other
texts
from
anyone
else.
We'll
move
on
to
the
review
of
the
work
plan.
It
looks
like
we
have
two
items
that
wanted
that
need
to
be
deferred
till
the
March
meeting.
Can
we
get
a
motion
to
defer.
D
E
E
We
were
able
to
co-host
a
really
good
manufacturing
event
about
a
week
ago,
in
conjunction
with
manufacturing,
San
Jose,
which
allowed
us
to
do
both
an
enormous
ly,
deep
dive
with
Kate
sofas
of
SJ
made
into
a
report
that
was
just
unveiled.
It's
a
long
report
title.
It's
called
San
Jose's,
manufacturing,
real
estate,
landscape,
sustaining
jobs,
economic
impact
and
shared
prosperity
for
diverse
residents,
January,
2000,
2020
and
the
title
pretty
much
says
everything
that's
in
the
report.
E
We're
also
sharing
information
that
we
got
from
the
santa
clara
county,
public
health
officer
advice
for
employers
on
how
to
handle
their
employees,
who
may
have
traveled
to
china
before
or
on
february,
2nd
as
a
fairly
BIRT
kind
of
said
of
if
they
travel
to
this
place
or
if
they
were
in
transit
on
such-and-such
a
date.
What
you
suggest
that
they
should
do
and
we'll
continue
to
share
these
with
our
business
audience.
E
We
had
a
couple
of
very
fun
openings.
One
was
an
amenity
that
we
hope
to
be
able
to
see
more
of
in
terms
of
our
commercial
developments
and
that's
childcare
facilities
included
in
them.
This
one
is
a
Hudson
Pacific
project
on
Skyport
near
the
airport.
That
now
has
a
an
amazing
Bright
Horizons
facility
on
it,
one
of
its
ground
floors,
room
for
a
hundred
and
forty
kids.
It's
very
large.
They
have
a
chef
who
creates
organic
food,
treats
twice
a
day.
They
have
yoga,
they
have
music.
E
E
E
E
There
was
a
block
long
line
by
the
time
we
cut
the
ribbon,
so
that
was
exciting
and
finally,
we're
have
we
have
a
little
guest
blog
post
from
ESD
on
a
new
online
feature
that
they
are
providing
for
restaurants
and
food
service
establishments
who
have
to
struggle
with
grease
disposal,
and
this
online
feature
allows
the
restaurant
or
the
facility
to
put
all
those
records
online.
So
if
and
then,
when
an
inspector
shows
up,
it's
all
right
there
and
a
lot
of
people
if
they
can't
show
every
record
immediately
face
a
fine
or
a
violation.
E
A
E
G
A
A
D
H
Afternoon,
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Carrie
Adams
happen
and
I'm.
The
director
of
the
Office
of
Cultural,
Affairs
and
I
have
the
pleasure
to
introduce
the
team
with
whom
we
work
to
make
this
partnership
a
success.
So
my
left
is
Walter
Lynn
who's,
a
Deputy
Director
of
Public
Works,
the
overseas
facilities
management
to
my
right
is
senior
arts
program
coordinator
Karen
Park,
who
is
a
steady
hand
at
the
helm
with
this
ongoing
partnership?
H
H
We
also
have
several
members
of
the
Hammer
theater
team
here
as
well
Lisa
layman
and
has
been
with
us
since
the
beginning,
maria
bones
and
katie
santos
I
just
want
to
thank
SJSU
for
your
attendance
today
and
being
part
of
this
great
and
new
model.
So
it
is
a
pleasure
to
be
here,
as
I
mentioned
this
about.
G
H
Background
this
is
one
of
our
city
owned
facilities
and
in
2014
the
San
Jose
Repertory
Theater,
the
the
organization
for
which
this
building
was
built
had
declared
bankruptcy.
If
you
recall,
and
the
result
of
that
declaration
put
us
in
a
difficult
place,
we
had
to
develop
a
new
model
and
so
we're
here
at
five
and
a
half
years
later,
to
come
to
you
two
here
I'm
going
to
read
the
recommendation
to
bring
this
recommendation
to
you.
H
So
that's
what
we're
asking
you
to
cross-reference
on
March
10th.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
just
by
way
of
background,
you
know,
I
can
remember
the
day
that
the
San
Jose,
Repertory,
Theatre
actually
declared
bankruptcy
and
that
situation
caused
a
bit
of
a
stir
not
only
in
our
national
media,
local
media,
but
also
within
our
community.
Our
community
was
very
concerned
about
the
ongoing
viability
of
this
very
important
community
asset
and,
as
staff
had
been
working
alongside
the
Senate's,
a
rep
for
so
long.
Looking
at
what
are
the
actual
costs
to
operate?
H
Maintain
this
important
iconic
facility.
We
knew
that
we
needed
to
have
a
partner
that
was
very
well
capitalized
that
could
steward
this
facility
and
also
have
the
financial
capacity
to
make
sure
that
they're
doing
proper
investments
in
staffing
it
so
as
to
steward
this
important
asset.
So
we
actually
formed
a
year-long
public
process.
We
had
members
of
the
community
and
nonprofit
arts
professionals
advising
the
city
I'm
kind
of
what
would
be
the
right
model
going
forward
and
out
of
that
process.
H
Sjsu
stepped
up
and
they
envisioned
a
new
model
that
would
incorporate
their
own
programming
rentals
and
then
also
some
curated
programming
and
I'm.
Very,
but
at
the
time
it
was
a
new
new
model
that
hadn't
been
tested,
so
we
spent
four
and
a
half
years
incubating
this
and
I'm
so
delighted
to
be
here
today
to
tell
you
that
it
is
a
success
and
I
really
want
to
thank
SJSU
for
their
leadership
and
their
implementation
on
this.
H
So
with
that,
I
am
going
to
also
add
one
more
person
and
a
group
of
people
I
want
to
thank
and
that's
the
Hammer
theater
advisory
group,
councilmember
Perales,
who
serves
on
that
group.
Also,
we
have
a
number
of
community
representatives.
The
Arts
Commission
has
a
representative
and
also
members
of
the
SJSU
team
as
well.
H
So
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
have
been
making
sure
that
this
model
is
being
well
stewarded
and
that
we're
looking
at
all
the
right
things,
so
we
can
best
serve
this
community
so
with
that
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
Karen
Park
who's
going
to
talk
through
some
of
the
key
aspects
of
the
contract.
Thank
you.
J
Ago
today,
San
Jose
State
is
in
the
fifth
year
of
operating
in
the
hammer
with
a
successful
and
sustainable
model.
During
a
four-year
incubation
phase,
the
model
features
high
quality
and
diverse
arts
and
cultural
experiences
for
the
public
that
reflect
the
unique
characteristics
of
San
Jose.
So
under
San
Jose
State
management
hammer
not
only
showcases
the
best
of
University
programming,
but
also
provides
a
venue
for
arts
and
cultural
groups
to
present
their
best
work
at
discounted
non
profit
rates.
J
Live
theater
has
continued
to
be
an
important
part
of
programming
at
the
hammer
and
this
honors
the
community
desires
that
we
heard
when
the
Repertory
Theatre
went.
Dark.
Chris
is
going
to
talk
more
about
this
shortly,
but
the
programming
continues
to
attract
increasing
audiences
to
the
theater.
Last
year,
over
750
7000
people
enjoyed
a
performance
at
the
hammer
enjoyed
actually
over
200,
engaging
performances
at
the
hammer
and,
in
addition
to
activation,
acted
activities
on
the
plaza.
J
The
economic
impact
of
all
of
this
activity
by
one
estimate
is
over
four
four
million
through
spending
and
employment
generation.
The
City
University
partnership
has
kept
the
hammer
and
attractive
regional
destination
and
it
served
as
a
valuable
training
ground
for
the
next
generation
of
arts
professionals,
be
they
onstage,
backstage
or
arts
management
professionals.
J
The
key
contract
terms.
So
the
current
incubation
agreement
ends
in
June
and
we're
recommending
a
term
of
up
to
thirty
five
years
as
Carrie
mentioned,
and
that
breaks
down
to
the
initial
15-year
term
and
two
additional
ten-year
options
to
renew
we're.
Also
recommending
a
$350,000
subsidy,
which
is
a
thirty
percent
increase
from
the
initial
incubation
agreement,
and
it
contains
annual
CPI
a
adjustments
that
are
capped
at
three
percent,
and
this
is
consistent
with
additional
with
other
facility
operator
agreements
that
have
been
recently
negotiated.
J
Important
to
note
that
15,000
of
that
subsidy
is
going
to
be
diverted
into
a
capital
maintenance
sinking
fund
for
the
hammer
which
the
city
is
going
to
match
with
fifteen
thousand
and
that's
going
to
be
applied
to
identify
capital
maintenance
needs
similar
to
the
sinking
fund
arrangement
that
the
city
has
with
other
culturals
facility
operators,
such
as
the
tech
and
the
school
of
arts
and
culture.
So
those
sinking
funds
are
intended
to
supplement,
not
replace
San
Jose
state's
ongoing
facility
investment,
as
well
as
the
city's
ongoing
capital
investment
through
its
capital
improvement
plan.
J
The
partnerships
for
facility
maintenance
and
capital
needs
will
continue
unchanged,
with
San
Jose
State
responsible
for
maintenance
and
repairs
inside
the
facility
and
the
city
paying
for
external
exterior
maintenance,
as
well
as
replacement
of
building
systems.
So
I
should
note
that
the
hammer
is
over
20
years
old
and
that's
at
a
stage
where
key
building
systems
are
requiring
more
and
costly
maintenance
and
some
are
nearing
the
end
of
their
useful
life.
J
K
First,
so
well,
first
of
all,
thank
you
from
myself
from
Shannon
Miller,
dr.
Miller
and
Charlie
Foss.
We
are
all
thrilled
to
be
to
have
this
opportunity
to
really
make
the
hammer
a
success.
It's
a
beautiful
building
that
was
built
long
ago
and
where
I
have
to
say
that
we're
all
very
proud
to
be
the
primary
tenants
of
it
and
taking
good
care
of
it.
K
Here's
a
little
snapshot
of
how
we
started
and
where
we
are
the
the
last
graph
is
a
projection
through
the
end
of
this
year,
but
you
can
see
how
attendance
has-
and
this
is
the
amount
of
people
that
come
to
different
shows
all
of
the
shows
has
grown
steadily
over
the
years.
The
event
number
of
events
has
grown
fairly
dramatically,
as
well
as
the
number
of
performances,
so
we're
thinking
that
the
model
of
this
year
1920,
is
very
indicative
of
how
we
will
how
busy
we
will
be
going
forward
and
I
hope.
K
K
We
have
the
proud
to
say
that
we
in
with
San
Jose
Jazz
curating.
We
present
a
black
cab
series
black
in
our
black
box
cab
for
cabaret.
So
it's
a
four
series
of
little
cabaret
shows
up
upstairs
in
what
was
it
the
rehearsal
room
and
those
are
all
selling
out,
except
for
this
last
one,
but
the
next
one
will
and
we're
gonna
be
able
to
do
that
going
forward
holidays
at
the
hammer.
Besides
the
Nutcracker
that
comes,
we
have
things
like
cool,
Yule
and
other
things
that
add
to
the
holiday
atmosphere,
downtown
and
then
quickly.
K
We
have
been
able
to
accommodate
some
of
their
seasons
at
the
hammer
and
then
new
ballet,
which
again
does
Nutcracker,
but
they
also
do
a
story
ballet
every
year
and
fast-forward
and
then
of
course,
citta
quests,
which
comes
up
next
week
and
then
I'd
like
to
ask
Shannon,
does
say
something
about
SJSU
at
the
hammer.
So.
L
One
of
the
reasons
this
was
such
an
exciting
opportunity
for
San
Jose
State
is
that,
in
addition
to
presenting
and
incredible
material
that
Chris
is
outlined,
we
also
have
been
utilizing
the
hammer
theatre
as
a
way
to
present
the
best
of
the
work
that
our
students
are
involved
in
and
that
is
cut
across
all
of
these
genres.
Let
me
say
a
little
bit
to
how
much
our
student
productions
contribute
to
theater
we've
put
on
original
productions
like
the
the
dreamer
project
of
this
fall.
L
We've
had
original
scripts
that,
in
conjunction
with
San
Jose
stage,
have
had
staged.
Readings
plays
on
Sarah
Winchester
and
a
great
play
called
the
mama
dragon
monologues
and
the
number
of
theatrical
events,
whether
that
be
v
sold-out
in
the
heights,
the
first
musical
by
Lynn
well
Miranda,
which
was
a
great
event
in
2018,
but
we've
also
done
other
place,
such
as
seminar
and
Picasso
at
the
lapel
Gio,
because
we
have
a
dance
program
that
is
looking
to
integrate
public
performances
and
bringing
in
high-profile
dance
companies.
We've
had
Kyle
Abraham's
company
aim.
L
Kyle
Abraham
was
a
MacArthur
winner,
Jessica
Lange's
troupe
I'm
in
one
of
its
final
tours
was
considered
one
of
the
best
dance
companies
in
the
country
and
we're
looking
towards
bringing
in
Philadelphia
in
the
fall
in
terms
of
music.
Our
our
School
of
Music
and
dance
continues
to
do
an
excellent
job
of
original,
exciting
and
challenging
material
both
for
our
students
and
for
the
audience,
including
a
Bernstein
maths
performance
last
year
and
kaleidoscope.
L
This
is
a
great
event
that
I've
seen
families
wandering
the
Paseo
wander
in
and
watch
students,
dance
and
sing
and
perform
musical
comedy.
It
was
just
absolutely
a
great
event
and
a
real
crowd-pleaser
and
something
that
really
draws
in
the
entire
community
of
San
Jose
and
film.
We
have
sponsored
bringing
in
Sundance,
so
they
have
done
various
programs
with
us
over
the
years,
so
they're
both
working
with
our
students
and
working
with
the
community.
L
And
finally,
there
are
other
kinds
of
things
that
are
unexpected,
that
we've
put
on
at
the
hammer
in
the
SJSU
at
hammer
category,
including
an
international
design
exhibit
and
program.
So
this
was
a
three-day
event
that
brought
people
from
25
different
countries
brought
them
to
San
Jose
for
an
exploration
of
design,
so
I
think
about
what
kind
of
contributions
are
we
making
to
both
the
city
of
San
Jose,
but
also
the
economic
development
of
San
Jose?
We
see
that
happening
again
and
again
with
our
SJSU
at
hammer
events
and.
K
K
L
D
Fun
is
that
it's
it's
really
exciting.
I
was
at
the
hammer
recently
for
starting
arts
performance
of
Mary
Poppins,
where
they
had
kids
or
kids
fly
onstage.
It
was
a
joyful
experience
to
watch
those
kids
perform.
My
daughter
actually
is
a
stage
manager
for
that
performance
of
starting
arts.
So
I
I
really
love
that
the
hammer
is
focused
on
bringing
in
groups
and
nonprofits
who
desperately
need
performance
space
that
isn't
a
little
tiny
theater
that
is
professional
quality,
and
so
I
am
so
grateful
that
the
hammer
is
there
and
that
the
partnership
is
there.
It's.
D
It
is
a
beautiful
facility
and
it
would
have
been
really
sad
to
just
leave
it
vacant
and
not
utilized
by
anyone.
I'm
also
thrilled
to
hear
that
San
Jose
State
is
benefiting
so
much
from
the
use
of
the
space
and
because
performing
arts
are
so
critical
to
the
overall
well-being
of
our
culture
and
society.
So
the
more
that
we
can
expose
our
students
and
our
families
and
our
community
to
a
variety
of
Performing
Arts,
the
better
it
is
for
everyone.
D
It
just
opens
our
eye
so
I'm,
a
huge
supporter
question
for
you,
though,
with
regards
to
the
condition
of
the
hammer
it's
20
years
old
and
it's
aging,
the
$15,000
sinking
fund
doesn't
seem
to
be
enough
to
upgrade
things.
What's
the
number
one
thing
that
you
think
besides
HVAC,
that
needs
to
be
upgraded
at
the
at
the
hammer
to
make
it
beneficial
for
the
performers
and
for
the
audience
participant
the
experience.
Thank.
H
I'm
gonna
speak
to
how
the
seeking
fund
is
utilized
and
then,
if
I
remember,
the
team
wants
to
identify
any
specific
capital
needs
that
your
that
we
know
that
we
need
to
invest
in
or
the
specific
budget,
but
essentially
how
the
sinking
fund
works
is
so
the
Department
of
Public
Works.
We,
it
has
its
own
separate
budget
for
cultural
facilities
and
each
year
determines
kind
of
what
are
the
the
highest
needs
for
across
our
whole
portfolio,
but
with
each
respective
facility
that
has
a
sinking
fund.
Those
sinking
funds
are
used
a
little
bit
differently.
H
It's
not
necessarily
the
capital
budget,
but
it's
its
own
fund
that
can
be
used
for
things
that
would
like
used
to
describe
enhance
the
visitor
experience,
but
it
may
not
be
a
life
safety
issue
which
makes
it
a
little
bit
higher
on
the
Department
of
Public
Works
capitalist.
So
it
might
be
something
that
they
might
want
to
do
related
to
aesthetics
or
something
for
the
overall
customer
or
audience
or
performer
experience,
whether
it's
certain
types
of
equipment,
but
it
that's.
Not
the
only
budget
that
we
have
for
capital
Karen
did
mention.
H
The
HVAC
system
is
one
that
has
definitely
been
identified
as
something
that
it's
absolutely
I'm
critical,
because
it
does
affect
their
operating
cost.
We
know
that
that's
a
tricky
building
to
heat
up
and
cool
down,
because
I
don't
know
if
you've
ever
been
backstage,
but
it
has
lots
of
lots
of
hallways
and
different
rooms
and
and
also
a
lot
of
the
the
artists
with
whom
they
work.
H
K
Well,
just
in
general
I
would
say
that
the
the
amenity
quality
of
especially
the
public
areas,
but
also
a
little,
maybe
the
dressing
rooms,
sends
a
message
to
the
theater
goer.
So
if
you
have
you
know,
we
certainly
have
clean
public
restrooms,
for
example,
but
they're
dated
there
you
know
you
can
see
the
caulking
works
in
between
fixtures
as
they've
been
repaired
over
the
years.
So
one
of
the
things
that
I
put
on
our
most
recent
list
to
be
a
priority
is
in
fact
the
refurbishment
of
the
least.
K
The
two
were
the
four
public
restrooms
in
the
lobby
area.
There's
some
other
things
too,
but
I
really
have
to
stress
that
when
you
have
the
public
come
to
a
quality
facility,
they
they
actually
make
a
judgement
within
about
five
minutes,
especially
if
they
go
to
the
bathroom
right
away
and
I'd.
Really
you
know
so
it's
these
kinds
of
things
that
I
don't
ever
want
to
forget
are
important
and
keep
them
on
the
agenda.
A
We
do
have
a
five-year
CIP
and
there
is
an
item
within
the
deferred
maintenance,
extra
backlog
report
that
we
have
for
the
hammer
theatre
as
well
in
regard
in
relation
to
or
along
with
HJC
system,
more
mechanical
and
plumbing
system
work,
as
mentioned,
the
restroom
work,
some
seating
and
some
lighting
work
as
well.
So
we
have
done
if
I'd
projects
so
far.
There
was
also
a
building
condition
assessment
recording
done
in
2012.
It's
a
bit
dated
eight
years
old.
D
Great
I
really
appreciate
that
so
in
in
the
agreement
it
and
correct
me
if
I'm,
wrong
and
I
may
have
misheard
heard
this.
The
interior,
the
building,
who
pays
for
those
repairs
and
who
the
city
pays
for
the
exterior
of
the
building
is
that
correct.
Did
I
hear
that
right,
no
I
didn't
hear
that
right.
So
I.
J
A
H
C
A
I
I
had
a
different
question
altogether.
The
a
B
5
I've
actually
been
getting
a
lot
of
emails
from
sensei,
jazz
and
other
theatrical
groups
saying
that
they
hate
their
gonna,
have
to
go
out
of
business
and
I,
keep
telling
them
to
talk
to
their
state
legislators.
But
but
how
does?
How
is
that
affecting
the
programming
at
the
theater?
And
do
you
see
the
the
number
of
shows
dwindling
because
of
this,
the
state
law
yeah.
H
So
a
B
5
for
those
of
you
don't
know
it's
the
the
new,
the
new
state
law
pertaining
to
kind
of
employee
employers
and
employees.
It's
the
gig
economy,
sort
of
new
legislation,
but
it's
impacting
the
performing
arts
and
some
other
arts
organizations
and
that
they
now
have
to
be
advised,
and
they
have
all.
We
have
their
own
advisers,
whether
legal
or
financial,
but
they
might
have
to
bring
on
what
we're
previously
contract
ders
on
as
employees
and
so
that
can
change
the
overall
operating
costs
associated
with
their
various
business
models.
H
For
example,
San
Jose
jazz
when
it
festival
it
had
a
lot
of
contractors
and
now
they
might
have
to
hire
those.
But
again
we
know
that
this
legislation
is
going
to
be
going
through
some
proposals
around
cleanup
and
there's
a
lot
of
advocacy.
That's
happening
across
the
state
to
help
inform
policymakers
about
these
impacts
and
response
to
your
question
about
whether
or
not
it's
impacting
rentals
I
would
have
to
defer
to
Chris
to
see
if
you've
seen
any
impact
from
from
renters.
K
Yet,
but
you
know
that
a
b5
just
took
effect,
what
was
it
February
first
or
something
I
think
this
is
being
worked
on
in
three
different
levels:
locally,
it's
being
worked
on
by
sv
creates,
which
is
doing
a
seminar
tomorrow
night,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
at
the
hammer
for
for
folks
to
have
a
little
roundtable
about
that.
It's
being
worked
on
by
the
California
presenters
Association,
which
we
are
a
member
which
are
all
presenters
in
California.
K
Together
with
the
University
of
California
system,
one
of
my
colleagues
from
Cal
State
Northridge
had
the
wherewithal
to
get
some
get
on
agendas,
and-
and
so
it's
being
worked
on
and
in
three
different
ways
to
you
know
to
to
be
able
to
alleviate
those
cases
like
the
arts,
where
I
can't
see
any
of
us
actually
hiring
all
all
the
employees
that
you
know
the
acts
as
employees
that
it
would
it's
not
feasible.
So
that's
our
stance
on
it.
Yeah.
K
You
I
can't
see
because
I
I
can't
see
that
it
would
so
it's
not
something
that
I.
You
know,
I'm
participating
in
those
three
different
venues,
but
I'm
not
concerned
that
it
won't
get
fixed
I.
You
know
it's.
It's
it's
not
meant
to
affect
the
gig
worker
of
the
artist.
It's
meant
it
really
came
from
uber.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
yeah.
A
Well,
I
I
do
understand
that
came
from
I'm.
Only
I
may
say:
I'm
mainly
asking
this
question
because
you
have
a
ten
year
contract
and
if
and
if
you're,
not
getting
the
ax
right,
you're
three
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
dollars
is
gonna,
be
you
know
right,
it's
been
fairly
quickly.
I.
Imagine,
and
you
know
this
is
a
ten-year
commitment
and
followed
by
two
sorry
15
year,
commitment
followed
by
two
ten
year,
commitment
and
I'm,
all
for
it.
I
just
wanted
to
see.
If
you
you
guys,
are
weighing
this
out.
I.
K
I
To
ensure
that
this
you
know,
the
fixes
that
get
put
in
place
are
are
gonna
are
going
to
be
directed
in
the
right
area
because,
as
we
know,
certainly
there's
some
some
unintended
consequences
that
are
happening
so
I
think
that
there's
there
is
some
some
positive
action
right
in
that
regard,
but
getting
back
to
the
the
opportunity
here.
I
have
been
really
grateful
to
be
part
of
the
hammer,
Earth
user
advisory
group,
and
it
really
has
been
a
successful
partnership.
As
you
pointed
out,
Kerry
one
that
we,
you
know,
endeavoured
into
something.
I
You
know
that
we
had
not
done
before
and
that
really
there
wasn't
a
playbook
for,
but
yet
we
had
a
theater
sitting
empty
and
idle
and
we
really
were
looking
for
a
partner
and
initially
didn't
know
who
that
was
gonna
be
and
when
San
Jose
State
stepped
up,
and
we
initiated
this.
This
partnership
I
think
the
two
of
us
write
both
sides
in
the
community,
actually
a
three-part
right,
we're
really
trying
to
figure
out.
I
How
are
we
gonna
make
this
successful
and
through
the
the
Hammer
theater
advisory
group,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
watch
that
grow
to
where
we've
landed
today,
and
thank
you
as
well
Kerry
for
your
leadership,
all
the
city
staff
team
and
and
for
the
partnership
to
make
that
happen.
Chris
has
been
tremendous
and,
and
then
it's
even
led
to
and
I'm
sorry
I
didn't
ask
this
question
a
couple
weeks
ago,
but
it's
led
to
the
opportunity
where
a
couple
of
my
colleagues
and
I
have
the
opportunity
to
host
an
event,
including
councilmember.
I
As
far
as
I
hear
it's
my
right
coming
up
next
month
on
the
18th,
which
is
which
is
on
the
calendar
here
and
and
then
I
thought,
oh
you
know,
I
did
I
meant
to
ask
that
question.
Are
we
still
gonna
have
those
opportunities
where
the
city
of
San
Jose,
like
for
the
cornerstone
of
the
Arts,
Awards
and
stuff,
like
that
I
just
didn't
see
it
in
the
language
and
so
are
those
opportunities
gonna
be
there
within
the
contract
for
that
type
of
use,
a.
I
Great
so
in
for
my
colleagues
that
aren't
aware
we
do
a
number
of
events
that
the
biggest
one
be
in
the
cornerstone
of
the
arts
every
year,
but
knowing
that
that
was
an
opportunity,
and
actually
it
was
the
conversation
with
Lisa
that
that
you
know
helped
me
to
see
that
we
had
knew
that
they.
Obviously
the
venue
was
there,
but
that
we
had
an
ability
to
to
maybe
take
advantage
of
a
city
use
and
so
getting
that
approved
through
the
city.
I
Manager's
office
was
great,
and
so
I
will
invite
my
colleagues
on
march
18th
at
6:00
p.m.
you'll,
see
it
on
the
calendar
here:
the
devil
in
Silicon
Valley.
We
actually
partnered
up
with
SJSU
as
part
of
their
borderlands
series
and
thank
you
again
Lisa
for
the
the
direction
on
that
and
Dean
Miller,
for
you
know
allowing
us
to
bring
forward
this
opportunity.
We're
gonna
be
having
dr.
Steven
P
D,
who
came
here
in
December
to
talk
about
his
book:
a
devil
in
Silicon
Valley,
along
with
dr.
I
Ikuma
deal
from
Stanford,
emeritus
and
it'll,
be
moderated
by
dr.
Julia
Currie
who's,
a
professor
at
San,
Jose,
State
and
so
tremendous
conversation
around
the
history
of
inequity
in
San
Jose
and
it's
a
free
event
we'll
be
expanding
on
the
conversations
that
we've
had
here
at
the
City
Council
and
we're
really
looking
forward
to
it.
And
so
and
thank
you
to
SJSU
and
the
hammer'
staff
for
partnering
with
us.
Invitations
are
going
out
and
our
colleagues
will
be
getting
them
actually
we're
just
kind
of
those
those
just
got
finalized
this
past
week.
I
I
It
wasn't
necessarily
something
that
I
was
going
to
be
drawn
to
maybe
on
a
monthly
or
bimonthly
basis,
but
now
there's
almost
something
happening
every
single
month,
right
that,
where
an
individual
like
myself
and
really
that's,
opened
up
to
the
entire
community
and,
as
you
saw
I,
really
loved
that
that
video
Dean
Miller
that
the
students
put
together.
What's
not
at
the
hammer
right
and
so
it's
tremendous.
I
We
brought
our
son
there
for
his
first
time
to
see
the
San
Jose
Nutcracker
and
there
was
in
every
year
they
host
a
particular
one
for
the
little
ones.
Because,
as
you
all
know-
and
it
was
great-
we
were
there-
half
the
audience
is
little
kids
going
crazy.
But
it's
an
opportunity
for
them
right
to
see
their
first
show
and-
and
you
know
you
feel
comfortable
because
you're
there
with
other
parents
and
their
kids,
and
so
you
go
alright.
My
kid
starts.
A
A
F
Just
would
like
to
publicly
recognize
Carrie,
Adams,
Hafner
and
Karen
Park
I.
Think
those
of
you
who
weren't
here
seven
years
ago.
You
can
certainly
appreciate
how
extremely
difficult
this
situation
was.
There
were
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
feelings,
a
lot
of
uncertainty,
a
lot
of
oh,
my
god.
Where
do
we
go
from
here,
and
so
it
really
was
Carrie
and
Karen
that
just
provided
a
steady
hand
through
many
years
to
go
from
extremely
difficult
to
extremely
successful
with
a
sustainable
business
model
and
I
also
want
to
point
out.
F
You
know
they
provided
this
leadership,
also
for
the
Mexican
heritage
Plaza,
and
that
school
of
arts
and
culture
again
extremely
difficult
to
extremely
successful
and
extremely
sustainable.
So
thank
you
to
Carrie
and
Karen
and
just
commend
San
Jose
State
for
your
vision
and
partnership,
and
you
can
just
see
already
the
the
number
of
lives,
like
literally
that
are
gonna,
be
impacted
by
the
partnership
that
you
created
is
just
it's
tremendous.
So
thank
you.
Yeah.
A
A
I
Just
I
believe
was
this
room
that
the
community
conversation
was
in
before
it
was
actually
before.
I
was
elected,
but
I
came
through
and
it
was
extremely
tense.
So
just
you
bringing
that
up
brought
back
the
memory
of
difficult
meeting
was
here
so
I
think
you
know
it's
terrific
that
now
we're
we're
sort
of
four
circle
and
thank.
H
But
I
just
there's
one
thing:
I
want
to
say
in
recognition
of
the
University
before
we
wrap
and
we
had
a
great
conversation
at
our
last
H
tag.
Meeting
and
one
of
the
the
members
of
the
group
that
works
for
SVSU.
One
of
the
professor's
really
said
that
since
SJSU
has
been
operating
the
hammer
theatre
is,
it
is
increasingly
becoming
a
university
of
choice
for
Performing
Arts
students
across
the
whole
California
University
System.
So
we
can
be
really
proud
of
that.
We've
got.
We
are
building
the
next
pipeline
and
we
are
that's
great
for
San.
H
A
N
All
right
good
afternoon,
we
don't
have
a
Vanna
so
we'll
just
let
it
sit
on
its
side.
Just
fine.
My
name
is
Jessica
Zink
I'm,
deputy
director
for
the
Department
of
Transportation
and
with
me
today
is
Sal
Alvarez
executive
analyst
for
the
office
of
economic
development
and
blah
gazel
ala
also
with
the
economic
development
downtown
manager
is
wishes.
She
was
here,
but
she
is
home
with
the
cold.
C
Hi
good
afternoon
my
name
is
Ella
ISM
executive,
Allison,
Office
of
Economic
Development
and
spring
2018
council
awarded
a
master
agreement
to
urban
design,
consultants,
city
ID
to
work
and
begin,
and
work
began
to
develop
wayfinding
program
through
a
series
of
workshops
and
user
testing.
After
the
first
round
of
workshops,
there
was
a
consensus,
develop
a
pilot
along
the
West
San
Carlos
corridor
between
McHenry
Convention
Center
and
San
Jose
State
University,
to
encourage
more
trips
to
the
south
tourist
area,
just
sofa
district.
C
The
one
on
the
left
is
during
the
NHL
all-star
and
the
one
on
the
right
is
actually
during
San
Jose
comic-con
last
summer.
And
so,
if
you
can
kind
of
notice,
the
design,
iteration
changed,
I
wouldn't
say
dramatically,
but
it
definitely
changed
from
the
first
user
testing
and
work
and
then
after
workshops
to
the
second
and
that's
actually
what
the
representation
that
we
have
over
in
the
corner
there.
So.
C
Here
is
the
recommended
family
of
totems.
The
second
from
the
left
is
what
we're
referring
to
as
the
navigation
totem,
which
is
what
will
make
up
the
mesh
of
the
overall
network,
the
hotspot
totem
we
are
referring
to
as
the
destination
totem.
The
big
news
is
at
San
Jose
State
that
we'll
be
working
with
city
ID
to
prototype
and
test
the
hotspot
totem
this
year,
so
we'll
be
able
to
deploy
that
product
once
it
has
been
finalized
and
able
to
develop
a
stronger
proof
of
concept
of
our
overall
program.
C
So
it
won't
just
be
our
navigation
product
that
we're
piloting
we'll
be
able
to
work
with
San
Jose
State
to
then
also
pilot
the
destination
totem
as
well
to
have
a
beginning
middle
and
end
sort
of
trip
for
folks
to
use.
So
part
of
the
reason
for
the
changes
into
the
design
was
to
provide
greater
stability
and
to
allow
for
a
tent
to
the
addition
of
translucent
glass
accent
panels
to
take
advantage
of
sunlight
and
shadow
play
on
on
the
sidewalk,
as
well
as
enable
pedestrians
and
car
drivers.
C
Do
you
see
if
someone
is
standing
behind
the
design
behind?
One
of
the
totems
to
provide
better
safety
and
visibility.
So,
therefore,
if
it
isn't
just
like
a
blank
solid
wall
on
the
sidewalk
or
someone
can
kind
of
step
out-
and
you
not
know
they're
there-
it's
to
provide
a
little
more
visibility
and
safety,
that's
part
of
the
design
feature.
C
Industrial
designers,
billing
Jackson's
have
to
have
developed
engineered
drawings
for
the
products
for
prototyping
and
formal
procurement.
The
products
will
contain
hardware
for
powered
illumination
to
promote
nightlife
activity
and
provide
additional
reassurance
for
evening
exploration.
So
I
know
one
of
the
written
ischl
questions
was:
will
it
be
back
later
lit
up
at
night
and
it
and
that's
what
we're
planning
on
doing.
C
This
is
like
a
little
automated
features.
So
here's
a
larger
view
of
the
hand-drawn
base
map,
which
is
which
is
actually.
This
is
just
a
portion
of
the
of
the
map,
there's
actually
a
little
bit
bigger
than
this,
where
they've
actually
gone
through
hand-drawn
identified,
where
those
active
retail
activities
are
those
are
largely
the
color
in
blue
on
the
map.
We
really
are
trying
to
encourage
more
pedestrian,
ground-level
street-level
activity
and
encouraging
folks
to
explore
more
of
downtown
and
beyond
the
downtown.
J
N
For
partnerships
throughout
this
wayfinding
program
to
make
sure
that
we're
speaking
with
one
kind
of
design
language
so
that
the
wayfinding
is
really
effective,
but
also
it's
not
just
the
city
investing.
It's
also
partners
like
San
Jose
State,
one
of
the
ways
that
we've
done,
that
is,
that
the
Department
of
Transportation
and
Housing
Department
Co
applied
and
were
granted
state
funding
through
the
affordable
housing
sustainable
communities
program
for
two
projects
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
as
part
of
that
AHS
C
program,
we
have
wayfinding
funding,
that's
going
to
build
upon
this
wayfinding
program.
N
So
that's
in
the
North
San
Pedro
area,
with
the
Bassett
Street
project
and
in
the
broader
sofa
area
with
the
ball
back
project.
So
those
are
other
ways
that
we're
kind
of
multiplying
the
the
funding
that
we've
invested
as
a
city,
and
we
will
continue
to
seek
grant
funding
when
available
and
work
with
other
partners
again
like
San,
Jose
State
or
like
the
bike
share
system,
which
is
actually
used,
the
same
maps
and
language
as
well,
and
with
that.
This
is
just
that
same
slide
about
the
timeline
moving
forward
and
we're
here.
A
B
C
C
What's
going
to
happen
with
the
work
that's
being
done
to
allow
for
advertising
in
the
public
right-of-way,
and
that
may
be
a
potential
way
to
partner
and
help
fund
for
those,
because
those
are
much
more
expensive
products
to
put
in
place
to
me
be
a
product
with
maybe
partner
with
the
problem
partner,
with
a
partner,
I
guess
to
deploy
those
those
types
of
wayfinding
elements.
Yeah.
N
And
that
that
was
one
of
those
questions
that
we
we
asked
and
the
consultant
team
pretty
early
on
said
you
should
use
static
information
where
that's
most
appropriate
and
then
the
interactive
kiosks,
where
more
depth
is
needed,
like
at
these
hotspot
and
destination
and
arrival
places,
but
that
for
most
steps
along
people's
journey,
what
they
really
need
is
is
best
done
through
static
information
that
can
be
updated
pretty
easily.
Okay,.
A
D
Comment
that
I
had
a
note
to
ask
and
I've
completely
forgot,
though
the
wayfinding
signs
are
really
wonderful
once
I
once
you're
outside
and
you
see
them,
but
I
was
in
City
Hall
at
the
information
desk.
Looking
for
a
map
to
hand
out
to
someone
who
wanted
to
walk
around
the
city
and
there
weren't
any
maps
there,
and
they
said
they
didn't
know
when
city
maps
were
coming
or
any
availabilities
shouldn't
that
be
a
first
point
of
contact
for
people
that
we
have
a
visitor
setter.
D
C
So
councilmember
portfolio.
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
question.
So
so
right
now
we
do
actually
have
a
downtown
printed
map
and
a
digital
interactive
map
where
you
can
actually
go
in
and
download
a
map
to
your
phone,
which
has
hot
links
to
businesses
that
are
located
in
the
map
area
and
we
are
sort
of
in
the
middle
of
a
production
period
where
we're
updating
the
bat
base
map
that
we
usually
would
use
for
a
print
map
and
the
final
map
that
we're
going
to
be
using
for
the
first
iteration
and
so
so
right.
C
Now
we're
just
saying
that
we're
trying
to
sync
up
our
production
cycles
so
that
when
we
do
print
them
do
the
print
map,
we
can
actually
then
roll
it
into
the
actual
on
street
maps
and
not
over
duplicate
efforts,
and
so
we're
working
with
the
downtown
Association
to
have
a
regular
cycle
to
update
the
printed
method.
But
you
should
be
seeing
a
printed
app
map
again
very
soon.
Wonderful.
C
I
You
and
in
regards
to
that
map
we're
just
kind
of
curious
that
the
updating
of
it,
for
instance,
I,
was
just
down
at
the
opening
of
urban
kiosk,
the
growth
of
our
Santa
Clara
business
and
businesses,
and
you
kind
of
you'll
see
on
that
lease.
The
one
map
that
we
have
here
that
shows
sort
of
the
entire
downtown
some
of
those
businesses
denoted
with
the
little
blue,
coloring
and
I'm
just
kind
of
curious
in
regards
to
the
growth
of
the
map
and
obviously
has
new
businesses
and
stuff
like
that.
C
So
yeah,
so
we're
gonna
be
on
a
six-month
update
cycle.
So
every
six
months
we
work
with
the
Downtown
Association,
we'll
also
be
working
with
the
Business
Association,
for
example,
that
are
part
of
this
larger
map
effort
to
update
what
the
new
businesses
that
kind
of
come
and
go
and
a
normal
cycle.
So
there
is
a
little
bit
of
churn
part
of
the
other
work.
I
So
what
about
like,
for
instance,
this
this
business
I,
was
at
this
morning,
it's
not
associated
to
soundlessly,
downtown
Association
so
would
be
be
working
with.
You
know
those
exhilarate
groups
that
there's
not
many
but
right
as
we
start
to
branch
out.
Yes,
okay,
great
thank
you
excited
about
the.
A
A
M
All
of
these
village
playing
efforts
involve
extensive
community
outreach
as
part
of
the
general
plan
or
directed
to
have
fine
financing
mechanism
to
deliver
public
amenities
and
improvements,
and
as
part
of
this
effort
so
further
in
2013,
we
were
directed
by
council
to
actually
include
these
financing
mechanisms
in
urban
village
plans
moving
forward
and
as
such,
we
adopted
on
May
22nd,
2018,
the
urban
village,
implementation
and
amenities
framework.
This
was
a
value
capture
strategy
used
when
a
project
Ruiz
owns
a
property
from
an
employment-based
zoning
district
to
is
owning
district
that
allows
housing.
M
So
in
2018,
the
state
of
California
adopted
assembly
applause
3194,
which
prohibits
local
agencies
from
requiring
a
rezoning
for
a
housing
project,
since
the
implementation
framework
required
a
rezoning
action
to
increase
land
value
and
that
increase
value
would
be
used
to
fund
amenities.
The
legal
mechanism
for
that
amenities
extraction
disappeared
further
Senate
bill
1333
was
adopted
in
2019
as
well,
which
requires
charter
cities
like
San
Jose,
to
bring
the
general
plan
and
zoning
code
into
alignment
as
such.
M
It's
the
city's
responsibility
to
rezone
properties
that
allow
housing
under
the
general
plan,
two
zoning
districts
that
also
allow
housing
further.
Removing
that
implementation
framework
value
capture
mechanism,
because
a
rezoning
is
already
taken
care
of
by
city
staff
staff
is
actually
working
on
multiple
projects.
Currently
to
do
the
alignment
and
weren't
we
have
it
in
two
phases.
As
listed
on
the
slide.
One
is
to
do
a
lot
aligning
uses
in
the
zoning
code,
which
we've
already
completed
and
has
been
approved
by
council,
and
the
second
is
to
adopt
new
zoning
districts
for
further
compliance.
M
M
Also,
it
prohibits
cities
from
adopting
new
development
standards
like
open
space
and
setbacks
that
reduced
the
overall
development
capacity
or
potential
for
housing
on
an
individual
project
site,
as
such
staff
can
no
longer
apply
subjective
standards
to
housing
projects,
so
all
design
general
plan
and
other
standards
must
be
objective,
meaning
it
involves
no
personal
or
subjective
judgment
by
a
public
official
and
being
uniformly
verifiable
by
reference
to
an
external
Journal
and
uniform
benchmark
or
criterion
ie.
It
can't
be
based
on
feeling.
N
M
Of
great
information,
so
moving
forward
staff
proposes
incorporating
the
urban
village
implementation
framework
amenities
into
zoning
districts
as
objective
standards
to
comply
with
these
different
state
laws.
The
types
of
amenities
that
we'd
be
asking
for
had
to
be
scaled
back,
because
the
city
cannot
require
improvements,
not
directly
beneficial
to
a
project.
M
There
are
many
cities
throughout
the
United
States
that
include
a
public
benefits
or
amenities
program
in
their
zoning
code,
but
it's
typically
as
a
housing
incentive
program
and
they
typically
trade.
An
increase
in
FA
are
so
floor
area
ratio
or
a
trade
of
height
and
density
to
be
able
to
extract
something
from
a
development.
However,
San
Jose
has
very
generous
floor
area
ratio
is
very
generous
height
and
very
generous
density
already
provided
to
many
of
our
housing
sites.
M
M
So
we
want
it
to
go
through
the
amenities
list
of
what
we
think
we
can
incorporate
into
the
zoning
code,
so
publicly
accessible
open
spaces.
This
was
on
the
original
amenities
framework,
a
commercial
space
above
and
beyond
something
that
we've
been
exploring
a
non-formula
retail.
This
is
used
in
places
like
Los
Gatos,
where
to
increase
smaller
businesses
or
mom-and-pop
shops.
You
can
set
create
very
objective
criteria
about
having
these
sorts
of
spaces
move
in
we're
still
exploring
this
place,
making
art
installations
installed
at
the
site.
M
This
could
also
this
could
be
new
art,
but
this
could
also
be
retaining
existing
art
and
reinstalling
it
back
to
encourage
maintaining
existing
amenities
that
are
in
the
village,
on-site
streetscape
amenities.
So
on
the
project
frontage,
making
decorative
sidewalk,
for
example,
that's
directly
there
related
to
the
project,
sidewalk
furniture,
sidewalk
planters,
things
like
that,
and
then.
Lastly,
what
we're
exploring
is,
is
there
a
way
to
help
support
the
PIO,
PDO
parkland
requirements
and
giving
them
some
sort
of
trade
if
they
were
to
actually
build
parkland
or
do
add/edit
land
dedication?
I?
M
Guess
the
last
point
here
we
do
have
two
amenities
that
are
not
included
on
this
list
that
were
in
the
original
amenities
list
and
those
include
off-site
improvements
such
as
signage
trails,
not
on
the
project,
frontage
and
transportation
improvements.
The
second
amenity,
not
included,
is
the
ability
to
pay
into
a
fund
that
the
city
would
use
to
construct
like
street
improvements,
so
think
gateway
signs.
M
Roughly
proportional,
typically
means
there's
a
study,
that's
done
to
price
out
the
cost
of
the
improvement,
and
then
we
know
the
full
extent
of
that
improvement.
Oftentimes.
We
don't
have
a
sense
of
the
cost
of
the
overall
improvement
and
the
timeline
for
that
implementation,
and
that
lack
of
nexus
means
that
the
city
cannot
require
these
improvements
of
a
single
development
project.
Otherwise
the
disproportional
asked
is
considered
a
taking
or
a
taxation
if
it's
done
through
a
fee.
M
So,
due
to
the
new
limitations
under
state
law,
but
only
objective
standards
can
be
applied
to
housing
projects.
Staff
must
adjust
our
current
planning
efforts
to
meet
this
requirement
and
visit
approved,
revisit
approved
planning
documents
to
bring
them
into
compliance,
and
so
there
are
a
lot
of
words
on
the
slide,
but
basically
it
lays
out.
M
We
have
many
outreach
efforts
underway
and
this
is
not
a
complete
list.
We
are
just
beginning
our
outreach
into
the
community
and
we'll
start
engaging
with
the
council
offices
to
further
this
outreach,
but
we're
here
today
at
CED.
We
also
are
going
to
have
community
meetings
and
developer
focus
groups
throughout
February
from
February
through
April,
we'll
go
to
the
developers
and
construction
roundtable
the
Planning
host,
and
then
we
have
to
go
in
front
of
the
airport,
land
use,
Commission,
Planning,
Commission
and
City
Council.
M
So
the
implementation
is
following
the
adoption
of
mixed
use.
Zoning
districts
with
these
amenities
and
incorporated
the
short
term
about
a
year
plan
is
any
proposed
residential
or
residential
mixed-use
project,
in
that
village
in
an
urban
village
would
be
processed
as
if
they're
in
those
zoning
districts,
and
so
we
just
suspend
reality.
You
might
be
zoned
commercial,
but
because
you're
trying
to
process
a
housing
project.
Your
general
plan
supports
that
housing
project.
We
pretend
you're
in
one
of
these
urban
village
zoning
districts
that
supports
your
project.
M
It
is
the
city's
requirement
later
on
to
rezone
you
ourselves
as
part
of
our
effort.
We
cannot
force
the
developer
to
do
it,
but
we
apply
those
standards
of
the
new
zoning
districts
and
then
the
long
term
approach
is.
We
will
be
doing
the
rezoning
ourselves
as
part
of
our
work
at
the
city.
Why
team
to
bring
everything
into
compliance
and
we're
here
for
questions?
Thank
you.
A
Yeah
priest
steps
work
on
trying
to
interpret
the
law
uh-huh
while
trying
to
protect
our
I
guess
ability
to
zone
the
way
we
want
to
zone
and
and
I
wanted
to
ask
a
couple
things
on
this
open
space
like
I,
you
know,
is
I'm
just
afraid
that
we're
not
gonna
end
up
with
any
parks
for
anybody.
You
know,
like
anything,
anything
that
people
can
actually
enjoy
and
gather.
You
know
I'm
I'm,
just
afraid
that
mystery'
no
way
we're
looking
at
this
and
what
are
your
thoughts
sure.
M
So
that
the
existing
parkland
dedication,
ordinance
and
impact
ordinance
are
still,
in
effect,
it's
just
anything
that
planning
can
impose
upon
the
projects.
That's
the
kind
of
thing
that
we
still
need
to
work
out
and
negotiate
part
of.
Why
we're,
including
the
publicly
accessible
open
space
as
one
of
the
amenities
is.
M
A
M
A
good
amenity,
it's
good
for
leasing,
it
makes
their
project
more
viable,
but
the
fear
is
definitely
there.
The
state
is
worried
that
we
and
other
cities
are
reducing
our
overall
housing
capacity
by
imposing
these
sorts
of
restrictions,
but
it
doesn't
get
rid
of
our
existing
Nexus
driven
ordinance
requirements.
Okay,.
A
O
C
M
And
that
doesn't
mean
that
under
different
other
state
laws,
we
did
not
go
over
like
state
density
bonus
or
other
laws
where
they
can
actually
wave
objective
requirements
like
commercial
there's
that
other
sort
of
piece
where
you
have
perhaps
a
density
bonus
project
as
a
mix
of
the
affordable
in
the
market
rate,
they
could
waive
their
commercial
requirement
if
they
could
prove
it
makes
their
project
better.
So
there
is
that
component,
but
for
a
standard,
run-of-the-mill
market
rate
projects.
A
I
M
M
The
reason
why
we
have
to
redo
our
approach
is
because
our
implementation
and
amenities
framework
wasn't
validated
because
of
state
law
not
allowing
that
rezoning.
So
there
was
no
way
for
us
to
do
the
ask
of
the
amenities,
because
they
no
longer
have
to
rezone
to
build
housing
and
housing
is
the
only
kind
of
project
that
was
held
to
those
amenities
standards.
Okay,.
I
M
It
was
based
on
the
rezoning
that,
and
so
because
we
just
now
have
to
if
your
general
plan
allows
you
to
build
housing,
there's
no
reason
to
rezone.
That's
that's
the
issue.
Our
standards,
as
we
define
them
today
in
the
invalidated
framer
may
be
good
enough.
They
may
be
objective
enough,
but
we're
taking
this
opportunity
to
look
at
them
again
just
to
tighten
that
language
as
necessary.
Okay,.
F
Remember
our
theory
was
in
the
reality
was
we
were
actually
creating
value
for
the
property
owner
by
rezoning
it
to
excuse
residential,
and
we
had
wanted
to
be
able
to
capture
some
of
the
value.
So
Jennifer
is
absolutely
right.
Our
hands
are
really
tied
now,
and
so
we
can
have
these
amenities
that
are
tied
to
a
specific
project.
But
if
there
have
shared
value
to
the
place,
we
cannot
use
the
tool
that
they
wanted
to
yeah.
G
That's
correct,
so
I
think
one
of
the
big
changes
that
this
does
not
include
is
there
was
in
the
existing.
That's
now
invalidated
framework
approved
by
council.
There
was
sort
of
a
catch-all
it
had
the
list
of
amenities
which
largely
were
what
you
see
and
it
had
sort
of
like
and
other
things
identified
by
a
village.
So,
for
example,
a
number
of
communities
wanted
gateway
signs,
and
that's
not
the
kind
of
thing
that
we
can
include
in
this
anymore.
So
it
was
just
a.
G
It
was
a
catch-all
and
that's,
unfortunately,
the
the
world
of
being
flexible
and
discretionary
is
going
away
and
I
think
that
has
a
positive
side
and
a
down
side
even
for
a
developer.
Frankly,
there's
for
everybody,
so
sometimes
people
don't
want
flexibility.
I
want
clarity
other
times
they
want
to
be
able
to
figure
out
another
approach,
and
so
it's
it's
a
different
world
or
in
with
all
the
state
laws.
Okay,.
I
I
This
process
here
I
see
the
community
meetings
and
developer
focus
groups
and
stuff
I,
guess
just
kind
of
curious
how
we're
intending
to
connect
with
those
urban
village,
stakeholders
and
and
then
ensure
that
they're,
you
know
they're
part
of
the
process.
I
know
that
you're
already
doing
some
of
that
right
and
trying
to
directly
engage.
So
just
if
you
can
describe
that.
O
Yes,
I
think
with
our
approach
here
to
community
outreach
we'll
be
working
with,
particularly
because
this
is
going
to
impact.
Those
urban
villages
where
we
would
that
are
already
approved
by
council
will
be
going
back
out
working
with
those
groups
that
we
engage
with
during
the
development
of
those
urban
village
plans,
as
well
as
the
development
of
the
implementation
framework
revisiting
and
engaging
them
on
on.
Where
we're
at
now
and
in
our
path
forward
and
an
approach
in
getting
providing
information
and
seeking
their
their
input
and.
I
E
M
P
M
We're
trying
to
think
of
something
that
is
the
most
sustainable
approach
you
could,
but
then
people
have
to
look
for
information
in
multiple
places
and
that
leads
to
more
mistakes
in
the
long
run
and
it's
harder
to.
We
want
to
make
things
as
easily
accessible
for
the
public
and
for
the
and
for
the
staff
to
make
sure
they
know
where
to
look.
This
is
your
one
section
to
do
amenities
if
we
have
to
refer
to
multiple
places,
there's
room
for
error
and
frustration,
but
we
can
consider
it.
I
will.
G
G
But,
as
we
review
a
project
into
looking
at
the
amenities,
I
mean
staff
would
look
at
the
plan
for
sort
of
making
a
recommendation
of
what
amenities
should
be
included
and
then
there's
a
community
meeting
to
validate
like
is
that's,
for
example,
if
it's
public
art
is
that
still
a
priority
for
this
community
that
giving
me
say
it
absolutely
is,
or
it
may
say
well
actually,
in
this
case
it's
not
at
something
else
in
the
list.
So
that's
why
we
have
guidance
but
there's
some
flexibility
to
adjust
over
time
with
individual
projects.
Ok,.
I
Are
you
looking
for?
Were
you
looking
for
that
specific
feedback
on
this
this
option
here
this
sort
of,
and
will
you
be
looking
for
that
throughout
some
of
these
discussions,
or
is
this
more
of
an
internal
conversations
being
had
I?
Just
didn't
see
that
highlighted
here
that
that
was
something
you
were
looking
for.
Our
feedback
and
I
know
it's
not
coming
back
to
CED
before
it
goes
to
council,
so
I
mean
I.
Think
if
you
have
some.
P
You
yes,
I
echo,
that
really
kind
of
taking
that
unique
equity
approach.
Some
things
are
gonna
when
we
have
urban
village
strategy
throughout
our
city
and
I,
think
different
neighborhoods
have
different
needs
and
I
think
we
should
be
as
flexible
as
we
can
on
that.
I
had
a
couple
of
questions.
One
is
good.
Child
care
be
included
as
an
amenity.
O
O
Looking
at
requirements
of
how
long
might
you
require
a
property
to
stay
in
business
for
child
care,
but
we're
looking
at
different
approaches
on
how
we
might
make
that
work
in
terms
of,
could
you
set
up
some
kind
of
parameters
around
the
the
site
or
the
design
of
this
space
itself?
That
would
facilitate
space
that
would
work
well
for
childcare.
O
So
that's
that's
something
we're
looking
at
in
our
look
at
what
other
jurisdictions
are
doing
with
this
approach
in
terms
of
requiring
amenities,
there
are
a
couple
cities
that
are
that
are
that
do
delve
into
child
care
or
elder
care,
so
we're
gonna,
look
at
look
further
into
that
and
I
think
it's
a
Seattle
and
then
the
City
of
Bellevue,
Washington
or
other
cities
that
that
are
looking
at
child
care
under
this
particular
type
of
context.
We.
P
Thank
you
and
then
I
wanted
to
because
they're,
not
here
I,
wanted
to
bring
up
a
letter
that
the
San
Jose
Parks
advocates
sent
about
this
about
the
ability
to
pile
parcels
or
assemble
parcels
for
for
open
space.
Have
you
had
a
chance
to
review
that
letter
its
requesting
that
San
Jose
changed
the
park
size
limitation
to
reflect
the
current
requirements?
Yeah.
F
From
gene
Dresden,
you
know,
I
read
it
as
well.
I
think
many
of
the
issues
she's
raising
are
really
interesting
issues
that
have
to
do
with
our
parks,
ordinance
and
implementing
it
in
highly
urban
settings.
So,
as
we
think
about
potential
changes
to
the
park
ordinance
over
time,
I
think
those
kinds
of
ideas
might
be
part
of
that
scope
of
work
more
so
than
this.
This
word
per
se
can.
F
F
Be
larger
than
you
might
say,
typically
find
in
an
urban
area,
that's
being
redeveloped,
but
that's
a
requirement
of
our
ordinance
now
and
it's
very
strictly
applied,
because
it's
our
ordinance,
so
my
understanding
is
a
parks
department
is,
is
looking
at
the
ordinance
and
how
it
might
need
to
be
refreshed
and
so
I
think
those
kinds
of
suggestions
are
probably
part
of
the
scope
of
work
for
that
more
so
than
fitting
into
this
particular
work
with
urban
village
amenities,
because
the
it's
absolute
requirement
to
comply
with
our
PDO
Pio
for
all
residential
development.
Well,.
P
G
So
I
think
the
bigger
issue
here
is
that
the
parks
PDO
Pio
model
is
based
on
a
much
older,
suburban
version
of
San
Jose,
where
you
could
buy,
you
could
acquire
one
and
a
half
form,
not
even
one
half
to
3/4
acre
parks
would
have
baseball
field,
soccer
fields,
basketball
and
there's
that
land
is
not
much
of
not
much
of
it's
available
anymore.
It's
built
and
you
have
to
put
together
a
8,000
parcels
with
a
6,000
with
a
7,
though
there's
a
lot
more
challenging.
These
urban
villages
are
much
more
urban
developed
areas.
G
The
parcels
are
smaller,
the
developing
that
traditional,
suburban
Park
is
going
to
be
a
lot
more
challenging,
and
so
this
model
is
more
about
building
smaller
urban
spaces.
Much
like
you
see
in
cities,
San,
Francisco
and
Chicago,
and
that
sort
of
thing
this
approach
is
above
and
beyond.
Pdo
Pio.
So
keep
that
in
mind.
G
P
A
D
Thank
You,
just
to
piggyback
on
comments
made
about
the
amenities
and
the
selections,
I
I
think
it's
important
to
be
as
flexible
and
unique,
which
would
allow
each
development
to
be
as
unique
as
possible.
That
fits
it's
particularly
so
I
like
the
pic
two
options.
Instead
of
just
saying
you
have
to
have
these
two.
D
The
pic
two
allows
the
developer
to
consider
what
that
is
what
the
community
wants
and
what
will
benefit
the
community
rather
than
us
dictating
it,
and
if
we
just
say
two
that's
still
objective,
they
can
pick
any
two
from
this
particular
menu.
So
I
would
be
a
proponent
of
that.
Do
we
have
a
motion?
No
then
so
moved.
B
Customer
canvas
I,
don't
recall
if
you've
been
presenting
before,
but
that
was
a
very
impressive
performance
feeling
those
questions
mastery
of
the
subject
matter,
so
so
very
good
I
hope
to
see
you
present
more
I
have
a
question.
Well,
I
was
listening
to
you,
presentation
and
and
coming
into
this
meeting,
I
kind
of
have
a
parallel
understanding
of
what
we're
doing
here
and
it
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong.
B
So
what
I
see
is
we
have
urban
village
zoning
generally
now
the
states
come
in
and
they've
said
you
know
anywhere
that
allows
housing
how's
it
going
to
be
built
by
right.
You
know:
there's
less
discretion
for
cities
to
kind
of
pinpoint
where
the
housing
goes
now,
because
we
want
more
housing
statewide,
so
we're
creating
these
five
kind
of
sub
urban
village
categories
and
commercial,
regional
transit,
local
transit,
commercial
corridor
and
neighborhood
and
and
when
I
see
that
I
see
that
as
an
attempt
of
from
the
city
to
kind
of
reclaim
some
of
that
discretion.
B
Because
if
my
understand
is
correct,
when
you
have
urban
village,
it's
it's
a
mix
of
stuff.
It's
it's!
You
know
commercial,
its
restaurant,
its
office,
its
residential,
it's
all
of
that
in
some
sort
of
combination,
but
because
you
you
allow
housing,
the
state
says
you
can
do.
Housing
anywhere,
housing
is
allowed.
Potentially,
what
we've
created
with
urban
village
is
housing
all
across
the
board:
no
commercial,
no,
no
office
space,
no
whatever
else!
So
that's
why
we're
breaking
it
up
into
these
five
subcategories.
Is
that
fair.
G
So
I
think
we're
still
evaluating
the
state
laws
in
terms
of
how
much
local
control
we
have
or
do
not
haven't
really
relation
to
allowing
housing
and
going
commercial
you'll
like
it
hear
more
about
that
coming
up
soon.
So
that's
still
a
question
mark,
but
yeah
I
think
so
in
general,
even
before
the
state
law
change,
we
stay.
Staff
really
believed
that
it
made
sense
to
have
a
zoning
district
that
implement
the
general
plan
for
urban
villages.
M
M
So
specifically
to
your
question
and
then
using
the
urban
village
plans,
making
sure
they're
objective
standards
have
honed
in
on
what
the
community
specifically
wants,
that
there
and
I
think
lies
the
power
and
in
making
sure
we
get
the
communities
engaged,
and
they
understand
the
importance
of
that
village
planning
process
to
inform
things
that
are
a
little
more
specific
about
the
shape
of
their
buildings.
The
way
that
their
streetscape
is
formed
versus
controlling
that
at
a
code
level,
which
might
be
way
too
specific
at
a
code
level,
okay,.
B
Great
I
guess
that
sounds
good
to
me.
I
only
kind
of
take
away
is
you
know
in
dealing
with
the
Barry
osser
urban
village,
I
kind
of
have
a
sense
of
that
up
there.
Whatever
we
deal
with
what
the
developers
are,
the
landowners
there's,
this
possibility
that
they
just
went
housing
all
over
the
place
and
we
as
a
city
want
more
jobs
and
there's
this
dispute
about,
like
you
know
not
just
the
the
combination
of
jobs
to
housing,
but
also
where
exactly
does
the
housing
go?
B
Mindful
of
you
know,
if,
if
there's
this
poison
pill,
it's
not
the
right
word,
but
I
think
you
understand
my
meaning
where
the
state
says
you
do
house,
wherever
housing
is
potentially
allowed.
We
need
to
be
mindful
how
we're
shaping
our
city
and
still
kind
of
have
some
sort
of
lever
or
saying
yes,
you
can
do
housing,
but
not
everywhere,
just
at
least
in
this
corner.
So
thank
you.
G
Just
kind
of
an
overall
calm
and
I
think
the
world
is
really
changing.
We
are
still
getting
our
head
around
I
thought,
you'll
be
receiving
a
memo,
we'll
come
back
to
the
council
in
April
on
this,
but
I
think
in
the
past,
a
lot
of
plot
or
not
think
a
lot
of
planning
decisions
were
made
sort
of
on
a
project-by-project
level.
We
had
design
guidelines.
There
was
a
lot
of
negotiation.
What's
becoming.
Very,
very
clear
is
the
most
important
thing
it
can.
G
G
So
it's
really
so
more
of
the
work
and
thankfully
the
citywide
team
thinks
the
council
is
more
than
double
the
size
it
was
a
year
ago,
but
a
lot
more
of
the
work
needs
to
be
done
upfront
because
there's
not
as
much
flexibility
after
when
a
project
comes
in.
So
that's
and
that's.
This
is
still
an
evolving
thing.
We
anticipate
even
more
state
laws
will
be
coming.
That
will
could
tie
our
hands
more
we'll
see.
A
Ok
well
I'm,
looking
forward
to
your
recommendations
when
you
come
back
and
appreciate
all
the
efforts
that
we're
that
we're
making
to
comply
with
all
the
various
new
laws
that
are
being
handed
out
of
here,
I
appreciate
your
patience
with
us
and
our
questions
as
well.
All
in
favor,
okay
looks
like
it's
unanimous.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Is
there
anybody
from
the
public
who
wishes
to
speak
all
right,
seeing
none?
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
