all

Do

A
This
is
kind
of
stepping
in
for
jennifer.
Today
I
do
have
larry,
who
has
his
hand
raised.
I'm
not
sure
if
that's
regarding
this
but
I'll
allow
him
to.
Let's.
E
I,
if
I'm,
if
I'm
speaking
about
dupont
village,
is
that
on
the
agenda
that
is
on
the
agenda,
sir,
so
yeah,
then
I
I
will
defer
until
the
that
item
comes.
B
Up
well,
thank
you
very
much.
Do
we
have
any
other
public
comment.
B
B
Only
looks
like
the
only
thing
we've
got
on
the
consent
calendar
is
to
review
and
approve
the
action
minutes
from
march
23rd
2022.
I
see
commissioner
garcia
and
commissioner
torrance.
Commissioner
garcia
did
you
want.
D
To
say
something
I
wanted
to
see
if
the
corrections
were
made.
I
had
submitted
some
last
minute
corrections
for
the
minutes,
the
first
vote,
and
then
the
roll
call
was
was
not
completely
accurate.
All
right.
B
Staff
is
this
the
city
attorney's
purview,
to
confirm
with
commissioner
garcia
that
his
corrections
are
reflected
on
the
record.
F
D
Yeah,
no,
it
was,
it
was
sent
to
the
the
person
that
sent
it
out.
I
can't
remember
the
name
or
how
to
pronounce
it
and
cc
jennifer.
C
D
Go
ahead,
there
are
minor
corrections,
for
example
the
roll
call
I
I
was
I
was
present
at
the
start
of
the
meeting
and
then
the
the
first
consent
calendar
item.
It
showed
that
montagnes
was
not
absent
anymore.
At
that
point
and
I
believe
her
and
bonilla
abstained
on
that
vote.
B
I
was
just
gonna
say
it
sounds
like
the
corrections
have
not
been
made,
but
before
we
do
that,
we've
got
commissioner
torrent.
Actually,
commissioner,
were
you
raising
your
hand
to
perhaps
offer
a
solution
to
the
current
situation.
F
Thanks
jared,
I
was
just
gonna
ask:
should
we
provide
all
our
feedback
or
do
staff
just
wanna
watch
the
meeting
and
make
all
the
corrections?
What's
the
preference
sorry.
C
B
G
F
Yes,
I
just
noticed
on:
was
it
item
five
a
it
had
me
making
the
most?
No,
no,
no
sorry
a
day.
It
had
me
making
the
motion
on
that
item
and
I
actually
voted
against
the
item
and
I
noted
to
staff.
Please
note
I'm
voting
against
it,
because
the
housing
densities
are
not
high
enough,
but
this
one
reflects
it's
a
unanimous
vote
so
anyway,
not
major
but
significant
enough
to
share.
B
No,
I
remember
you,
I
think
you
said
also
on
principle.
I
do
remember
that
as
well,
so
it
sounds
like
we
at
least
have
a
couple
of
colleagues
who
we're
going
to
want
to
make
some
changes.
So
I
think
what
best
thing
to
do
is
for
those
changes
just
to
make
sure
it
doesn't
get
lost
in
translation
get
emailed
to
mark
mark.
Would
you
be
the
appropriate
person
to
receive
them.
F
You
can
email
them
to
me
and
then
also
copy
getting
used
to
all
the
players
in
this
if
it's
hannah
or
lori
robert,
if
you,
if
there's
somebody
on
your
side,
that
would
also
be
copied
on
it.
That
would
go
about
implementing
the
change.
Please
let
please
let
the
commission
know.
C
So
it's
going
to
be
michael
myself,
mark
benny
and
jennifer
jennifer.
That's
it.
B
B
Is
what
I
have
sorry
april
27
no
april
27th?
Okay,
that's
great
all
right!
So
then,
let's
get
a
motion
on
the
floor.
I
think
lord
in
law
said
to
defer
this
item
to
april
27th,
lord
and
well
with
the
motion.
What's
about
to
tell
you
council
number,
commissioner
olivario
thanks.
F
B
Second,
bye
was
that
young,
garcia,
garcia.
Thank
you.
Okay,
lauren
with
the
motion
garcia
with
the
second,
and
this
is
to
defer
this
the
march
23rd
minutes
to
give
city
staff
time
for
correction
to
april
27th
with
that,
yes,
casey,
yes,
absent
cantrell,.
B
Garcia,
yes,
lord,
and
what
yes
oliverio,
yes
wise,
yes,
torrance
is
recused
young.
Yes,
all
right!
Let
the
record
reflect
that
the
emotion
passes
with
caballero
and
montagne
absent
and
torrance
abstaining
abstaining
as
she
was
not
present
at
the
march
23
2022
meeting
all
right.
B
I
Love
it
okay
evening,
commissioners,
members
of
the
public,
my
name
is
alec
atienza
planning,
division,
development,
review
team
so
before
you
this
evening
is
the
dupont
village
project.
This
is
a
mixed-use
project
located
within
the
deerdon
station
area
plan.
It's
roughly
bounded
by
park
avenue
to
the
north,
a
small
portion
of
it
touches
west
san
carlo
street
to
the
south
mcavoy
to
the
west,
the
caltrain
vta
tracks
to
the
east
and
it's
bisected
by
dupont
street,
just
as
a
bit
of
a
background.
I
I
It
would
include
the
demolition
of
all
buildings
and
structures
on
site
and
the
removal
of
56
trees,
which
would
allow
the
construction
of
two
five-story
multi-family
apartment
buildings
that
includes
689
residential
units.
300
375
of
those
would
be
affordable,
approximately
4
000
square
feet
of
commercial
retail
space.
I
Additionally,
the
project
includes
a
state
density
bonus
concession
for
an
approximately
38
parking
reduction.
And,
lastly,
this
project
includes
the
reconfiguration
of
dupont
street
I'll.
Just
jump
back
quickly,
so
dupont
street
would
be
brought.
The
intersection
with
mcavoy
street
would
be
brought
down
further
to
the
south
nearest
that
first
community
housing
project
that
is
adjacent.
I
In
terms
of
project
review,
so
this
project
is
consistent
with
both
the
general
plan
and
deer
down
station
area
plan
land
use,
designation
of
transit
residential,
as
shown
here,
it's
a
bit
messy
because
there's
multiple
parcels,
but
this
entire
site
has
a
general
plan.
Land
use,
designation
of
transit
residential
that
allows
for
a
density,
a
residential
density
of
between
50
and
250
dwelling
units
per
acre,
and
this
project
comes
in
at
around
127
dwelling
units
per
acre.
I
I
One
one
other
point
I
would
like
to
touch
on
is
the
state
density
bonus
law.
So,
as
this
project
is
providing
approximately
10
of
the
units
at
or
below
low
income
levels,
it
is
eligible
for
one
density.
Bonus
concession
under
the
state
density
bonus
law.
So
in
this
case
the
applicant
is
using
that
concession
for
a
blanket
38
parking
reduction
and
there
are
no
waivers
requested
as
part
of
this
state
density
bonus
application.
I
One
last
point
that
I'd
like
to
bring
up
in
terms
of
the
project
review
is
the
planned
development
rezoning.
So
this
project
was
first
submitted
in
early
2020
and
it
was
located
an
assortment
of
industrial
zoning
districts.
Industrial
park
hi
li,
but
it
still
had
a
general
plan.
Land
use,
designation
of
transit
residential.
I
So
at
the
time
the
applicant
applied
for
a
planned
development
rezoning
which
would
allow
for
this
type
of
mixed-use
project.
Since
then,
the
dsap
has
been
amended
and
the
site
was
rezoned
to
rm,
which
was
prior
to
any
of
these
new
urban
village
or
transit
residential
zoning
districts
existing.
So
for
the
sake
of
clarity
and
simplicity,
the
applicant
kept
the
plan
development
zoning
district
on
file,
and
I
can
go
through
that
a
little
bit
more
if
anybody
wants
some
background,
but
it's
mostly
procedural.
I
I
Next,
in
terms
of
environmental
review
for
the
sql
clearance,
an
addendum
to
the
downtown
strategy.
2040
final
environmental
impact
report
was
prepared
for
this
project.
The
initial
study
noted
that
no
new
environment,
environmental
impacts
or
additional
mitigation
measures
beyond
those
identified
in
the
downtown
strategy.
2040
final
eir
were
identified
for
the
project.
I
There
are
additional
standard
environmental
permit
conditions
that
can
be
found
in
the
draft
permit
in
terms
of
community
engagement.
This
project
was
noticed
at
a
radius
of
1000
feet.
On-Site
sign
was
posted
for
other
project
frontages
and
we
did
hold
the
community
meeting
on
november
16th
of
last
year,
2021
was
attended
by
about
21
members
of
the
public.
It
was
held
via
zoom,
some
key
concerns
and
issues
that
were
raised,
included
pedestrian,
safe
safety,
interior
and
exterior
noise
levels.
I
This
is
adjacent
to
the
rail
line,
some
construction
impacts
and
overall
timeline
of
construction,
as
well
as
parking
impacts
and
the
overall
level
of
affordability.
I
So
with
that
staff
recommends
the
planning
commission
recommend
to
the
city
council
that
they
take
the
following
actions:
adopting
the
sequel
addendum
approving
the
rezoning
proving
adopting
the
resolution
for
the
approving
the
excuse.
Me
excuse
me
adopting
a
resolution
approving
a
vesting
tentative
map
and
adopting
the
resolution
improving
the
planned
development
permit.
I
So
with
that
staff
is
here
to
answer
any
questions,
and
I
believe
the
applicant
is
here
with
a
presentation
of
their
own.
Thank.
B
You
thank
you
for
that,
alex
all
right
alex.
Let
me
now
go
ahead
and
yield
the
floor
to
the
applicant
or
the
applicant's
representative.
J
Hi,
my
name
is
dan
mountsir
and
our
team.
Also
here
is:
our
group
is
eminem
deardon,
perry,
hariri
with
miramar
capital
partners,
they're
developers
and
managers
of
large
scale
projects
in
san
jose
and
silicon
valley.
I'm
with
pinyon
property
company
we've
been
heavily
involved
in
this
district.
For
a
very
long
time.
J
I've
been
involved
with
the
alameda
business
association
and
was
the
rep
for
the
stationary
advisory
group,
then
also
working
with
us.
That's
going
to
be
the
developer
of
the
affordable
project
is
the
pacific
companies
and
they
are
the
largest,
affordable
housing
provider
in
the
west
coast.
J
J
There
it
is
one
block
from
duradon
station
which
would
be
to
your
left.
The
train
tracks
is
immediately
up
at
the
top
there.
We
have
the
whole
first
block.
If
you
look
at
dupont
street
there
to
the
lower
right
is
first
community
housings
project
and
we've
had
a
long,
very
long-standing
relationship
with
them
and
sort
of
started.
J
The
project
contemplating
working
together
for
a
cohesive
whole
mcavoy
down
to
down
to
the
the
lower
edge
which
is
on
the
west
between
park
avenue
and
san
carlos,
is
a
very,
very
quiet
street,
very
little
existing
traffic.
J
There
is
a
trail
that
goes
from
the
end
sort
of
where
los
gatos,
creek
trail
sort
of
currently
tentatively
ends.
That
will
end
with
google's
project
making
some
improvements,
but
the
tentative
detour
does
come
through
dupont,
project
and
so
that
folks
can
get
from
the
end
of
los
gatos
creek
trail
through
to
jared
on
station
the
projects
and
there's
two
of
them
here.
The
design
in
hdd
go
to
the
first
slide,
the
first
elevation
there.
J
The
idea
here
was
for
it
to
be
sort
of
a
modern
industrial,
but
to
have
it
be
contextual,
with
plant
51
and
other
industrial
buildings
in
the
area
to
try
and
tie
into
the
the
history
there
we're
using
traditional
materials,
a
lot
of
brick
to
again
tie
into
plant,
51
and
other
other
nearby
structures.
J
J
The
market
rate
building,
that's
eminem
duradon,
which
is
us
one
of
the
things
you
can
see
on
the
corner
there,
the
right,
which
is
the
corner
of
park
and
and
mcavoy
at
the
corner
space
there.
We
do
not
have
a
requirement
for
commercial
space,
but
we
do
have
some
space
there.
J
It's
going
to
be
sort
of
two-story
mezzanine
space
to
try
and
activate
the
coroner.
It
could
be
coffee,
co-working,
community
space
of
some
sort,
but
we
will
make
sure
it
works
for
the
community.
J
The
challenge
for
us
on
this
is
that
park
avenue
drops
to
go
underneath
the
freeway,
as
you
can
see,
and
then
mcavoy
is
a
un.
Unlike
this
rendering
shows
part
mcevoy
actually
has
a
very,
very
low
traffic
street,
so
more
retail
was
really
not
feasible,
but
we
wanted
to
do
some
at
the
corner
just
to
activate
that
space,
even
though
it
wasn't
required.
J
The
market
rate
building
is
relative
to
the
affordable
building.
It's
going
to
have
more
studios
and
one
bedrooms.
The
likely
tenant
mix
is
probably
going
to
be
more
sort
of
younger
tech
workers,
the
affordable
building,
which
we
built
by
the
pacific
companies
again
they're
the
largest,
affordable
housing
developer
on
the
west
coast.
J
J
Between
us,
we
have
again
the
extremely
low
to
very
low
to
low
two
levels
of
moderate
as
well
sort
of
missing
middle
housing
and
then
also
market
rate,
and
so
one
of
the
things
we're
really
proud
of
here
and
we've
gotten.
A
lot
of
support
for
is
in
terms
of
both
uses
and
affordability.
There
is
a
place
for
everyone
on
this
block.
J
The
request
has
come
up
at
times
that
we
combine
all
of
sort
of
all
all
of
the
amenities.
The
the
challenge
with
that
is
it
just
isn't
feasible
for
in
interior
amenities,
on
the
podium
levels
for
folks
to
have
key
fob
access
to
each
other's
buildings.
J
For
the
elevator
core
is
pretty
pretty
with
different
ownership
management,
and
everything
else
is
just
it's
just
not
feasible,
but
we
we
we
can
and
will
work
together
on
our
ground
level,
recreation
areas,
amenities
and
activities
and
our,
I
think,
our
track
record
actually
of
integrating
with
the
larger
community.
Both
with
our
projects
and
also
with
you
know,
our
own
personal
involvements
is
is-
is
fairly
strong.
B
Did
oh,
I
did
that's
that's
what
I
thought
that
that's
okay,
let's
now
open
it
up
to
public
comment
and
kenya,
if
you
can
just
keep
us
updated
on
that
that'd
be
great.
Thank
you.
Public
comment.
A
Okay,
I
do
not
see
any
hand
raised.
Okay,
there
yeah.
We
have
larry
that
raised
his
hand
so
and
then,
okay
larry,
you
are
unmuted,
go
ahead
and
now
mute
yourself
and
begin
to
see
how
many.
B
E
E
I
have
served
in
in
various
capacities,
including
president
of
the
alameda
business
association,
helped
initiate
five
million
dollars
in
grant
improvements
to
the
alameda
street
area,
founded
the
rose
white
and
blue
fourth
of
july
parade
and
during
the
last
15
years.
I
really
care
about
this
historic
area.
My
business
and
my
employees,
including
my
daughter's
company
and
employees,
find
their
home
here
in
our
business
district.
The
developers
of
dubai
dupont,
village
are
the
same
folks
that
I
came
to
note
and
respect
during
their
implementation
and
construction
of
madera
a
apartment
development
on
the
alameda.
E
They
took
a
blighted
site
and
developed
a
beautiful
apartment,
complex
serving
the
needs
of
many
residents.
We
have
benefited
by
madeira's
development,
the
whole
foods
market
next
door
and
the
historic
plant
51
construction,
which
have
all
transformed
our
area,
making
this
a
better
district
to
to
live.
We
are.
We
are
trying
to
build
an
infrastructure
that
our
retail
shops
need
to
succeed
here
on
the
alameda.
We
need
to
attract
customers
that
will
find
a
home
at
dupont,
village.
E
There
are
shops
and
restaurants
here
on
the
alameda
that
are
ready,
willing
and
able
to
serve
these
future
residents
of
dupont,
village
retail
in
an
isolated,
sparsely
populated
area
fail.
The
retail
should
not
be
included
in
the
plans
for
their
potentially
great.
This
potentially
great
development
allow
dupont
village
to
contribute
to
the
success
of
our
businesses.
Here
on
the
alameda,
I
fear
that
delay
will
jeopardize
the
implementation
of
this
great
development.
The
cost
of
everything
is
going
up,
including
materials
and
labor.
E
We
must
act
quickly
to
approve
this
important
improvement
to
san
jose's
residential
infrastructure
growing
up
in
san
jose.
I
worked
at
the
cotadina
tomato
cannery
approximate
to
this
planned
development.
I
would
I
would
be
astoun.
I
would
be
astounded,
then,
to
know
that
this
kind
of
beneficial
housing
project
could
could
be
possible
in
this
area.
I
urge
you
to
do
what
you
can
to
implement
this
project
for
all
of
us,
devoted
to
the
alameda.
A
L
Thank
you,
chair,
commission
members,
edward
sound
president
and
planning
land
use
director
for
the
shasta
handshake
park,
neighborhood
association.
I
sent
each
of
you
our
formal
comments
earlier
this
afternoon,
but
I
wanted
to
take
just
a
few
moments
to
reiterate
a
few
of
those
thoughts
this
evening.
One
thing
that
to
me
is
very
noteworthy
is
that
from
the
outset,
this
project
has
been
coordinated
with
first
community
housings
project
down
the
street.
L
As
a
result,
the
street
presents
a
full
range
of
extremely
low,
very
low,
lower
income,
moderate
income
and
market
rate
housing
units.
This
this
should
be
kind
of.
To
be
honest,
this
kind
of
synergy
should
be
what
we
aspire
for
every
block
to
be
that
it's,
each
project
isn't
being
designed
in
a
vacuum.
It
is
being
designed
in
coordination
with
previously
entitled
and
previously
approved
projects,
so
that
the
whole
ends
up
greater
than
the
sum
of
its
parts.
L
Eminem
dierdon
has
also,
more
than
once
expressed
a
desire
to
have
their
park
fees
go
towards
highly
local
improvements
and
amenities.
We've
seen,
unfortunately,
with
some
previous
developments
park
fees
park
and
they
kind
of
languish,
and
then
they
get
built
used
for
a
larger
construction
farther
out
that
the
new
residents
do
not
have
non-vehicular
access
to
dan's
desire
to
improve
the
trail
and
to
see
this
money
used
as
close
to
this
development
as
possible.
Again,
I
think,
is
the
kind
of
precedent
that
the
city
should
be
actively
encouraging.
L
Both
dan
and
larry
mentioned
dan
is
very
much
engaged
in
this
neighborhood.
This
is
not
an
instance
of
a
developer
coming
into
an
area
and
building
a
project,
and
then
leaving
dan
has
years
worth
of
history
of
investing
his
time
and
energy
in
this
neighborhood
we've
seen
him
be
very
successful
with
market
rate,
housing
and
so
shipment
looks
forward
to
hopefully
plan
commission
approving
this
project,
as
is
so
that
this
combination
of
market
rate
and
affordable
housing
can
move
forward
in
a
timely
manner
as
well.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Yeah
next
we
have
lalo
mendez
lalo
you're,
a
muted.
Please
don't
meet
yourself
and
begin
to
speak.
K
Good
evening
planning
commissioners,
my
name
is
lalo
mendes
and
I'm
the
development
project
specialist
with
catalyze
sv.
I
am
here
to
urge
all
of
you
to
recruit
the
rezoning,
which
will
eventually
result
in
so
many
homes
which
are
desperately
needed
throughout
throughout
the
area.
Our
members
scored
this
project
back
in
january
of
2021,
so
we
were
very
happy
that
the
applicants
have
been
engaging
with
community-based
organizations
and
other
stakeholders,
so
this
is
something
that
definitely
should
be
recognized.
K
I
remember
scored
this
project
in
january
and
some
of
the
recommendations
that
we
would
like
to
see
incorporated
are
expanding,
that
commercial
space
and
4
000
square
feet.
It
is,
it
is
a
great
idea.
However,
we
hopefully
can
see
this
expanded.
4
000
square
feet
might
fit
a
couple
of
starbucks,
so
we're
not
sure
if
this
is
adequate
for
689
units
so
would
hopefully
we
would
urge
that
the
applicant
to
reconsider,
hopefully
expanding
expanding
this
space,
so
residents
can
have
perhaps
three
pillars
of
direct
needs.
K
Lastly,
I
would
like
you
to
reconsider
the
integrated
amenities
and
common
share
spaces,
which
are
very
important
from
an
equity
perspective,
and
so
I
urge
you
to
explore
the
integration
of
the
amenities
between
the
affordable
building
and
the
market
rate
buildings,
but
overall,
my
full
support
for
this
project
moving
forward.
Thank
you.
A
Yep,
we
have
one
last
speaker,
sandra
weber,
sandra
you're,
a
muted,
please
submit
yourself
and
begin
to
speak.
H
Hi,
this
is
sandra
weber.
I
wish
I
was
as
elegant
eloquent
as
those
three
previous
speakers,
but
I'm
gonna
try
here
yeah.
H
I
have
seen
I've
also
seen
this
project
represented
before,
and
I
also
was
on
that
catalyze
sv
grading
for
this
project,
and
I
I
have
to
tell
you
just
seeing
the
past
projects
that
have
been
done
before
with
the
same
idea.
I
mean
we
all
really
benefit
from
madera,
and
I
hear
great
feedback
from
that.
I
sat
on
the
sag
panel.
H
I
also
just
joined
the
rose
white
and
blue
parade
panel
and
I'm
a
real
estate
agent
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
appreciate
what
dan
said
is
that
missing
middle?
We
are
finding
that,
even
if
you
have
a
you
know
a
young
tech
worker
and
he's
looking
for
a
one
bedroom.
It's
it's
very
difficult,
we're
finding
more
and
more
that
they're
relying
on
gift
funds
from
parents
or
the
parents
are
going
in
on
the
loan
and
title
so
I
love
the
mixed
use.
H
I
love
that
you're
given
different
levels
of
affordability
here
and
I
hope
to
see
more
of
it
and
so
well
yeah,
I'm
all
for
it.
I
hope
that
you
know
when
you
think
about
that
commercial
space
would
be
great
to
have
maybe
a
little
convenience
store,
because
I'm
thinking
what
you've
got
whole
foods,
I'm
not
sure
what
you've
got
towards
saying
carlos
to
actually
get
groceries
at
it
and,
if
you're
going
to
head
up
to
smart
and
final,
so
yeah
well
done
on
the
project
all
for
it.
B
All
right,
thank
you
for
public
comment
and
I
think
second
speaker.
I
want
to
say
I
like
that
model
of
submitting
a
detailed
letter
and
using
public
comment
to
highlight
key
points.
It's
a
good
way
to
make
sure
that
you're
able
to
get
your
thoughts
in.
So
I
say
that
more
for
the
record
so
that
anyone
watching
whoever
wants
to
come
before
us,
it's
just
a
good
way
to
ensure
that
your
full
entirety
of
your
thoughts
is
incorporated.
M
Just
if
we
could
just
one
minute
sure
I'll
give
you
a
bit
yeah
one
minute
so
good
evening,
chair
bonilla,
this
is
eric
schnauer,
I'm
consultant
to
dupont,
village,
and
we
don't
want
to
go
by
without
thanking
alec
and
rima
with
the
playing
department
for
all
of
their
work.
Reviewing
and
getting
this
project
to
hearing
just
quickly.
M
As
staff
indicated,
the
project
complies
entirely
with
all
plans,
policies
and
and
ordinances,
and
the
objective
standards
within
those
ordinances
that
in
and
of
itself
is
reason
to
support
it,
but
there
to
emphasize
a
few
other
points
on
housing,
affordability.
The
project
is
providing
54
percent
of
the
units
below
market
rate.
M
As
you
all
may
know,
the
inclusionary
housing
requirement
in
the
city
is
fifteen
percent
of
units
being
affordable
and
the
dared
on
stationary
station
area
plan
calls
for
25
of
the
overall
units,
so
this
project
far
exceeds
that
goal
and
that
requirement
at
54
and
and
then
just
lastly,
because
we
are
a
short
walking
distance
to
deer
on
station
the
park.
The
project
is
proposing
reducing
our
parking
foot
footprint
by
38,
and
so
that's
consistent
with
the
city's
climate.
M
Smart
goal
of
reducing
parking,
reducing
the
reliance
on
on
automobiles
and
promoting
transit
and
pedestrian
activity,
and
so
for
all
of
those
reasons
we
want
to
thank
community
residents
and
business
leaders,
larry
clark,
edward
sam
and
sandra
weber,
for
taking
the
time
to
engage
with
us
and
to
be
here
tonight
speaking
in
support
of
the
project.
Thank
you
so
much.
B
So
with
that,
I
will
leave
the
public
hearing
open
to
allow
my
colleagues
to
ask
questions
directly
of
the
applicant
and
applicant
representatives.
The
only
thing
I
ask
is
for
the
applicant
and
applicant
representatives,
just
just
give
me
a
raise
your
hand
and
I'll
go
ahead
and
call
on
you,
so
we
can
keep
keep
the
trains
moving
here
on
time,
but
all
right
with
that,
the
order
that
I
saw
a
batter's
box
here,
odio,
lordinois,
torrance
and
then
ornelas
wise.
So
with
that
area.
F
No,
I
just
wanted
to
note
you
know.
We
talked
about
the
north
san
jose
plan
in
our
last
meeting
and
my
comments,
and
this
is
approximately
twice
the
density,
and
so
this
is
the
benefit
of
significant
density
along
transit,
which
north
san
jose
is.
So
this
project
dates
back
to
1991,
with
the
adoption
of
the
midtown
specific
plan,
and
it's
been
certainly
just
a
long
time
coming
and
I'm
you
know,
I'm
certainly
going
to
be
voting
for
it
tonight,
but
want
to
hear
from
my
colleagues.
B
Thank
you,
commissioner,
with
that,
commissioner,
I
think
I
said
lord-in-law
then
torrance.
N
Yeah
yeah,
so
I
just
want
to
start
off
my
comments
by
saying
I'm
really
impressed
with
the
ratio
of
affordable
units
in
this
project
I
mean
54
is
far
and
beyond
what
we
usually
see
on
this
commission
oftentimes.
We
have
projects
that
don't
have
any
affordable
units
and
just
satisfy
their
inclusionary
requirement
with
within
luffy.
N
I
am
curious,
though
it
being
two
separate
buildings
on.
What's
going
to
be
two
separate
lots,
how
does
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
work?
This
question
for
staff?
I
mean
like
what
are
kind
of
the
limitations
of
splitting
it
up
across.
You
know
multiple
constructions,
like
that,
I
mean.
Is
it
just
as
long
as
it's
submitted
as
one
project?
That's
fine
or
I'm
just
curious
for
future
reference.
I
B
Alex
thank
you,
commissioner.
Torrence
commissioners,
wise.
G
Okay,
so
just
to
comment
first,
I
I
just
I
like
this.
This
is
you
know
different
levels
of
income
side
by
side,
all
interacting
in
the
same
community.
So
the
positive
comments
that
we've
heard
and
the
the
applicant's
presentation,
the
staff
presentation
this
is,
I
believe,
what
san
jose
needs.
More
of
and
it's
one
reason
I'm
so
excited
to
be
on
the
planning
commission
and
seeing
this
happen.
One
question
I
have
for
the
applicant
is:
are
there
any
opportunities
to
own
in
either
of
these
spaces,
because
that
does
help
people's
economic?
G
Okay,
well
that
answers
that.
Of
course,
you
hear
that
that
I
want
more
people
to
be
able
to
own
right.
J
I
I
hear
you,
it
is
fairly
complex
as
it
is
anyways,
that's
yeah,
but
these
will
be
rentals.
B
You,
commissioner,
ornelas
wise
and
then
I'll
go
back
to
commissioner
olivario
commissioners
wise.
G
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
say
great
job
to
everyone
involved
in
this
project.
I
love
the
design.
The
architecture-
and
I
you
know
just
like
was
recently
said.
I
would
really
love
to
see
more
projects
like
this
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
I
think
this
is
what
city
of
san
jose
is
all
about,
and
you
know
it's
all
about
community.
I
really
like
that.
G
I
would
like
to
see
a
playground
for
children
in
a
shared
space,
a
little
bit
more
green
space,
maybe
exercise
station,
something
that
would
allow
both
of
those
two
communities
to
come
together
and
maybe
for
the
affordable
units
I
mean
just
because
you
know
so.
G
The
cost
of
housing
in
this
area
is
so
high,
maybe
marketing
to
students
also
from
san
jose
state
and
students
from
the
local
san
jose
city
college,
to
see
if
they
could
access
some
of
those
affordable
units,
because
obviously
this
is
right
in
between
both
of
those
schools
but
overall
big
thumbs
up.
Thank
you
to
the
staff
and
everyone
involved,
the
design
team,
beautiful
work.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
commissioners,
wise
with
that,
commissioner,
I
think
you
had
wanted
to
make
the
motion
unless
I
was
reading
that
wrong.
I'm.
F
B
G
B
Second,
all
right
oliverio
with
the
motion
torrance
with
the
second
and
then
the
the
chair
will
weigh
in.
I
think
I
will
echo
the
sentiment
that
my
colleagues
made
as
far
as
this
being
an
example
of
the
city
and,
to
be
honest
with
you,
you
know,
would
love
it
if
you
came
out
here
to
the
east
side
and
brought
some
of
these
opportunities
with
you.
B
This
is
this
is
this
is
where
we're
headed,
and
I
think
we
as
long
as
we're
creating
all
types
of
housing
market
rate
affordable
at
all.
It
all
goes
into
that
overall
bucket
and-
and
this
is
how
we're
going
to
regionally
at
least
san
jose
will
do
its
part
to
to
take
on
this
regional
challenge
of
providing
more
housing.
So
with
that
it
is,
I
will
I
will
then
honor
the
motion
made
by
commissioner
olivario,
the
second
made
by
commissioner
torrance.
I
will
go
and
call
for
the
vote.
Bonilla.

Yesterday,
city
council
approved
the
agreement
with
association
of
bay
area
governments
for
regional
early
action
plan
and
grant
funds.
They
also
approved
item
number
10.1
that
went
to
the
city
council
from
this
commission.
It's
reasoning:
298
setting
rail
properties
located
in
various
locations
in
the
city
and
council
district
1..
