And
then

but
not
the
least

the
planning
staff
actually
Michael.
Sorry
Michael
I
see
you
as
well.
D
Okay
and
then,
although
we
do
have
other
staff
here,
they
will
speak
and
introduce
themselves,
they
will
introduce
themselves
before
they
speak,
but
the
last
they're,
not
a
list
of
planning
staff,
is
Chris
Burton.
Who
is
our
director?
And
just
so
you
know.
This
is
something
that
we
do
every
year,
the
past
couple
of
years.
We've
done
it
remotely
just
because
of
the
covid,
but
it
used
to
be
more
fun.
D
We
would
go
to
sites
that
even
the
Commissioners
have
actually
acted
on
that
have
been
built,
but
unfortunately,
because
of
the
covet
we've
had
to
do
this
remotely
so
Chris.
I
Thanks
Robert
good
afternoon,
everybody
great
to
see
everyone
but
I
think
I
know
everybody,
but
for
those
who
don't,
my
name
is
Chris
Burton
I'm,
the
director
of
planning
building
code
enforcement,
which
is
a
lot
right
now,
there's
a
lot
going
on,
so
we
definitely
wanted
to
take
a
minute
and
take
the
opportunity
to
just
come,
say,
hi
and
do
a
quick
intro.
I
You
know
really
excited
for
the
content
this
afternoon.
I
think
there's
a
lot
we're
going
to
cover
and
I
think
it's
just
sort
of
this
really
important
moment
in
the
work
that
we
do
as
staff.
But
then
we
do
collectively
with
the
Planning
Commission
and
and
important
for
a
couple
of
different
reasons.
I
think
it's!
Some
of
this
is
sort
of
highlighted
in
the
agenda.
I
The
world
in
which
we
live
in
continues
to
change
rapidly,
both
from
a
sort
of
an
environmental
standpoint,
just
sort
of
the
environment
in
which
we
exist,
the
sort
of
the
nature
of
the
city.
The
nature
of
our
population
continues
to
shift,
but
then
also
the
regulatory
environment
around
us
continues
to
shift.
So
as
we
look
at
changes
to
State
legislation,
as
we
look
at
changes
to
council
policy,
there's
a
lot
of
things
moving,
so
you
know
today
we're
going
to
talk
about
some
of
that.
I
We're
going
to
talk
about
changes
to
the
way
we
analyze
Transportation,
with
VMT
and
sort
of
the
updates
to
that
policy,
changes
that
are
going
on
around
some
of
our
housing
policies
for
affordable
housing.
So
so
a
lot
there
so
really
appreciate
you
all.
Taking
the
time
to
dig
in
with
us.
I
know,
there's
a
lot
to
to
learn
and
a
lot
to
take
in,
but
certainly
the
staff
really
know
their
stuff
and
and
will
guide
you
through.
I
It
I
think
the
other
thing
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
before
I
disappear
and
the
other
reason
I
think
just
a
really
important
time
is
obviously
we
have
a
transition
occurring
at
city
council,
and
so
the
role
of
the
Planning
Commission
just
continues
to
be
so
important.
As
you
provide
those
recommendations
to
the
city
council.
As
we've
got,
you
know,
new
council
members
that
are
coming
in
your
experience
and
understanding
of
kind
of
planning
projects
is
going
to
be
a
critical
part
of
that
learning
curve
for
them.
I
So,
like
I,
said
appreciate
the
time
great
to
see
you
all
and
I'll
hand
it
back
to
Robert.
D
Thank
you,
Chris
for
your
wet,
we'll
move
on
with
the
agenda
and
then
next
item
will
be
Rachel
vandervin,
who
is
from
a
housing
department
to
talk
to
us
about
affordable
housing,
basics
and
San
Jose's
iho
requirements
Rachel
good
afternoon
happy
to
see
you.
J
Hello
good
afternoon,
Commissioners
Rachel,
vanderveen,
deputy
director
of
the
housing
department
and
I'm
very
happy
to
see
all
of
you
today
and
just
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
talking
to
you
a
little
bit
about
what
the
housing
department
is
and
some
of
our
major
programs
and
policies.
J
I
think
that
you
know
for
those
of
you,
who've
been
on
the
commission
for
a
little
while
or
you
know,
even
not
that
long
many
times
we
end
up
kind
of
digging
all
the
way
in
on
some
of
these
issues.
So
I
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
proactively
kind
of
go
over
some
of
the
basics
and
just
the
language
we
use,
and
all
of
that
just
so
that
when
these
issues
do
come
up,
we're
all
kind
of
prepared
and
have
a
little
background
in
how
to
make
decisions.
J
So
so,
let's
see
that
I
will
go
ahead.
I
have
some
slides,
so
I
will,
let's
see
oh,
do
I
have
the
ability
to
share
my
screen.
J
J
Yep,
okay,
all
right,
so
so
what
I'm
gonna
do
is
actually
provide
a
pres
just
an
overview
of
the
housing
department.
There's
a
lot
of
different
pieces
of
the
department
and
so
I
just
thought.
That
might
be
a
good
way
to
organize
my
thoughts
today.
J
So
we'll
just
kind
of
walk
through
the
different
teams
and
and
again
you'll
just
see
how
there's
different
ways
that
they
can
interact
with
with
you
and
your
work.
So
all
right.
So
who
is
the
housing
department?
We
have
actually
been
around
since
1987
the
housing
department?
Not
every
city
has
a
housing
department.
It's
actually
a
unique
organizational
structure.
Many
times
it
could
actually
be.
J
Maybe
a
division
within
like
the
like
a
Community,
Development
kind
of
department,
or
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
different
structures,
but
in
San,
Jose,
affordable
housing
has
been
a
long-standing
challenge
and
in
the
late
1980s
there
was
a
decision
made
that
actually
established
the
housing
department
as
a
separate
entity
from
at
that
time
it
really
the
function
sat
with
the
Redevelopment
agency
and
20
of
all
the
Redevelopment
funds
that
came
in
were
dedicated
to
be
spent
on
affordable
housing
activities
and
at
that
time,
in
the
wisdom
of
leadership.
J
At
that
point,
it
really
felt
like
because
housing
was
such
a
critical
issue
in
San
Jose.
It
really
needed
to
have
its
own
structure,
and
so
we,
our
department,
has
been
around
since
that
long
and
has
reported
through
the
city
manager.
So
the
director
of
housing
is
a
direct
report
to
the
city
manager
and
again,
at
that
point
it
was
actually
like
taken
out
of
the
Redevelopment
agency,
which
had
a
separate
organizational
structure.
J
And
since
we
have
existed,
we
have
funded
over
20
000
new
homes
in
San
Jose,
so
we've
been
busy
and
as
all
of
you
as
residents
of
San
Jose
I
am
sure
that
affordable
housing
has
been
a
part
of
your.
You
know
your
community
and
your
life
for
quite
some
time.
J
J
Okay,
maybe
well,
if
it's
clarifying,
just
let
but
otherwise
like
for
discussion.
Let's
just
wait
till
the
end,
so
I
can
I
may
answer
it
along
the
way.
You
never
know
all
right,
so
the
first
division,
that's
that
I
wanted
to
talk
about
is
what
we
call
a
residential
Development
Division,
and
this
whole
team
provides
funding.
Really
we
act
like
a
bank,
so
you
can
really
kind
of
think
about
that
as
a
we
have
a
very
strong
Lending
team
and
what
we
do
is
we
make
funds
available.
J
J
They
have
interest
rates
that
are
simple
and
essentially
are
between
like
three
and
four
percent
generally,
which
these
days
sounds
even
better,
but
they
are
also
have
a
residual
receipt
which
is
kind
of
a
technical
word.
But
what
it
means
is
that
the
loan
itself
doesn't
have
an
a
regular
payment
instead
on
the
development
will
track
all
of
the
rents
that
come
in
and
then
all
the
expenses
and
then
at
the
end
they
do
the
math
and
determine
if
there's
any
money
left
over.
J
If
there
is,
then
a
portion
of
that
is
actually
paid
to
the
city
against
their
loan.
But
let's
say
that
you
know
the
rev.
The
revenue
and
expenses
come
in
and
there's
no
money
left
over
then.
In
that
case
our
loan
will
receive
no
payment,
so
it
is
a.
It
is
very
favorable
type
of
debt
to
have
on
a
building,
because
there
can
be
years
where
the
rents
may
go
up
and
down,
and
the
city's
loan
will
will
remain
in
place
but
does
not
necessarily
need
payments.
J
So
because
of
that
structure,
it
is
very
favorable
terms,
and
so
what
we
ask
for,
in
exchange
from
the
developer,
is
to
provide
a
restriction
on
the
property
to
restrict
the
rents
to
be
affordable
to
households
within
specific
income
levels,
and
so
what
we
do
in
order
to
calculate
all
that
is,
we
have.
J
We
take
a
look
at
the
the
percent
of
the
area,
median
income
and
that's
how
we
calculate
so.
We
have
moderate
income
homes
and
sometimes
we
use
mod
as
like
an
acronym,
and
these
are
households
that
have
between
80
and
120
of
the
of
the
area.
Median
income,
and
then
we
have
low,
very
low
and
extremely
low,
and
so
essentially
low
is
going
to
be
60
or
below
very
low,
is
50
and
then
extremely
low
is
30
or
below,
which
sounds
all
kind
of
jargony.
J
But
on
my
next
slide
this
is
kind
of
small,
so
I
apologize,
but
this
is
available
on
our
website.
If
you
ever
are
curious,
essentially
what
we
have
is
we
have
the
income
limits,
so
you
can
go
if
there's
four
people
that
live
in
the
household
and
we're
talking
about
an
extremely
low
income
unit,
then
that
family
would
make
fifty
thousand
dollars
fifty
thousand
five
hundred
fifty
dollars
a
year.
So
that's
their
annual
income
and
then
you
would
go
down
to
let's
say
they're
going
to
be
living
in
a
two-bedroom
unit.
J
This
same
team
in
the
housing
department
also
oversees
some
other
programs
that
are
critical
to
to.
You
know
running
a
lot
of
these
things
that
end
up
coming
up
through
Planning
Commission
and
through
the
planning
process.
So
another
program
is
our
inclusionary
housing
program.
J
So
this
program
requires
that
market
rate
residential
developers
set
aside
a
certain
percentage
of
the
homes
that
they
build
to
be
affordable,
so
in
San
Jose,
that
requirement
is
15.
So
what
we
require
is
that
five
percent
of
the
units
that
are
built
be
affordable
to
a
hundred
percent
of
the
area,
median
income,
which
is
what
we
just
talked
about
on
the
other
side,
five
percent
at
sixty
and
five
percent
at
fifty.
So
this
is
this
is
essentially
our
core
requirement.
J
Now.
The
way
that
this
program
is
designed
is
really
has
like
a
menu
of
options
for
developers,
so
they
can
actually
pick
and
choose
so
they
can
decide
that
they're
going
to
build
five
percent
and
a
hundred
percent
of
the
air,
immediate
income
and
then
for
the
remainder.
They
may
choose
to
pay
an
in-lu
fee,
and
if
they
do
that,
then
we
will
take
that
money
and
invest
it
in
we'll
turn
it
back
around
and
fund
another
developer
to
build,
affordable
housing
somewhere
else.
J
They
can
also
dedicate
land.
They
can
I'm
just
trying
to
think
of
all
their
options.
They
can
they
can
cluster.
This
is
a
new,
a
new
change
that
we've
made.
That's
actually
been
fairly
popular.
So
far,
we've
had
lots
of
conversations
about
it,
but
what
what
it
means
is
that
the
market
rate
developer
can
actually,
let's
say
they
have
room
on
their
site
for
three
towers.
J
What
the
clustering
allows
is
to
take
all
the
affordable
and
put
it
into
one
building,
and
that's
that's
actually
a
pretty
new
idea,
but
has
been
something
that
people
are
looking
at
doing
so.
Otherwise
this
General
requirement
requires
that
the
affordable
units
be
spread
out
within
the
market
rate
units
like
they're.
All
mixed
in
you
know,
they're
not
like
pulled
off
on
a
back
corner
of
a
building
or
something
so
anyway,
so
that's
kind
of
a
New
Concept.
J
We
also
have
this
team
also
implements
our
replacement
housing
requirements,
which
is
a
a
new
obligation
under
SB
330,
which
is
state
law.
That
says,
if,
if
a
developer
is
building
residential
but
they're,
basically
demolishing
existing
housing
in
order
to
build
more
housing,
then
they
need
to
replace
that
housing
in
their
new
development,
if
that,
if
they
are
serving
low-income
households,
so
our
team
or
has
been
working
with
the
planning
team
and
trying
to
figure
this
all
out.
J
But
basically,
what
needs
to
happen
is
we
need
to
evaluate
the
income
levels
of
everyone
living
in
those
units
and
then
determine
what
rights
they
have
long
term
and
of
the
existing
tenants,
but
also
it
influences
the
shape
of
the
new
structure,
because
a
portion
of
those
the
number
of
units
that
are
demolished
in
order
to
create
the
new
ones
have
to
be
replaced
in
the
new
building
and
those
units
are
going
to
be
an
income
restricted
as
well.
J
J
J
We
also
have
our
rent
stabilization
program,
so
essentially,
San
Jose
has
several
different
ordinances
that
have
been
put
in
place
that
restrict
the
rents
that
can
be
charged
in
apartments
that
were
built
prior
to
1979,
so
that's
kind
of
like
a
random
year,
but
the
reason
is
because
that's
when
San
Jose
passed,
it's
apartment,
rent
ordinance
to
begin
with,
like
very
first
time
and
subsequently
in
1995
there
was
a
state
law
passed
cost
to
Hawkins,
which
says
there
may
not
be
any
new
rent
control
so
on
as
soon
as
that
state
law
was
passed,
then
our
law,
like
kind
of
became
the
limit
for
anything
that
can
be
rent
controlled
in
San
Jose,
so
essentially
any
building
that
has
three
units
or
more
that
was
built
before
1979
is
subject
to
the
apartment.
J
Right
audience
now,
I
wanted
to
bring
up
the
Ellis
act
ordinance
as
well,
because
this
ordinance
it's
it's
kind
of
a
the
same
concept.
If
you
will,
as
like
replacement
housing.
It's
a
little
bit
different
though,
and
what
this
one
says
is
we
don't
want
to
lose
any
rent
controlled
units
over
time.
J
So
if
there's
demolition
involved
in
new
construction
of
a
unit
that's
covered
by
the
apartment
rent
organs,
then
those
units
need
to
be
basically
replaced
in
the
new
development
as
well
and
so
there's
a
whole
process
for
that
also,
just
as
something
that's
been
really
important
through
the
whole
pandemic,
we
also
have
established
an
eviction,
help
center
and
eviction
prevention
clinic
and
so
there's
a
whole
group
that
manages
that
as
well.
J
Now
another
key
group
is
our
homeless's
response.
Team
I
think
it's
really
important
for
everyone's
understand
that
we
have
over
6
000
people
who
are
sleeping
on
our
streets
in
San
Jose
every
night
we
have
been
actually
very
successful
in
finding
Housing
Solutions
for
our
homeless
population
and
have
housed
thousands
of
books
over
the
last
two
years.
Even
but
what's
happening
is
there's
the
number
of
people
who
are
falling
into
homelessness
every
day
is
outpacing
our
progress
in
trying
to
find
Solutions.
So
so
this
has
been.
J
This
just
continues
to
be
a
really
strong
priority
for
our
city.
There's
many
different
ways
that
we
do
that
work,
but
we
definitely
believe
that
creating
Supportive
Housing
is
a
solution
to
homelessness.
Creating
a
home
for
someone
to
live
in
is
actually
the
one
way
that
that
person,
you
know,
is
no
longer
homeless
right.
So
so
we
have.
We
worked
very
closely
with
the
county
with
non-profits,
and
what
we
have
been
really
focusing
on
over
the
last
couple
of
years
is
to
create
Supportive
Housing,
which
means,
as
we
build
Apartments.
J
We
are
also
creating
services
that
are
provided
to
the
residents
there
so
that,
as
they
can
move
in
from
from
homelessness,
they
can
establish
themselves
and
access
the
services
they
need
and
become
more
and
more
independent.
J
So
this
actually
is
a
picture
here
of
a
this
is
Emmanuel
sobrato,
which
is
under
construction
right
now,
and
it
is
a
hundred
percent
permanent,
Supportive
Housing,
and
so
what
we
mean
permanent
Supportive
Housing
is
a
term.
That
means
everyone
who
is
in
a
unit
for
permanent
Supportive
Housing
was
formerly
homeless.
So
it's
a
it's
a
home
for
it's
targeted
housing
for
our
homeless
population.
J
J
I
also
just
wanted
to
point
out.
We
have
a
destination
home
planner
who
sits
in
the
planning
department,
they're
funded
by
destination
home.
That's
why
they
are
called
that.
But
what
that
planner
does
is
focuses
on
any
development
that
has
25
percent
of
Supportive
Housing
coming
through
the
door.
J
They
are
actually
assigned
to
a
specific
planner
who
has
learned
about
all
of
these
affordable
housing
programs
and
just
really
kind
of
helps
to
build
an
understanding
with
developers
who
are
coming
through
with
this
type
of
housing
and
also
just
to
provide
to
them
the
support
they
need
in
the
planning
department,
so
yeah
another
another
type
of
development
that
we've
been
doing
in
order
to
respond
to
our
homelessness
crisis
is
interim
housing,
which
is
different
in
the
sense
that
people
who
are
living
there
are
are
not
paying
rent
so
they're
living,
it's
essentially
a
shelter,
but
there's
shelter.
J
In
the
past
homeless,
shelters
generally
may
look
like
a
like
a
gym
with
stacks
of
of
bunk
beds
and
cots,
and
that
kind
of
thing,
but
what
we
have
really
been
moving
to
towards,
especially
since
covid
is
non-congregate
shelter,
which
means
that
people
have
their
own
space,
and
so
we've
been.
This
is
just
an
example
here
of
like
tiny
homes,
where
everyone
has
their
own
space,
and
this
is
definitely
something
that
we've
been
working
on
quite
a
bit
recently.
J
All
right,
then,
we
have
a
policy
team
and
this
policy
team
actually
worked.
The
leads
on
all
kinds
of
exploring
lots
of
different
ideas
for
Housing
Solutions
in
San
Jose.
They
also
lead
our
legislative
efforts
and
are
really
the
team.
That's
been
working
on
the
housing
element,
the
housing
element
update
with
our
planning
team,
and
so
you
can
see
here.
J
These
are
the
goals
we
have
for
our
city
and
our
our
upcoming
housing
element
update
and
the
number
of
very,
very
low
low
and
moderate
interim
housing
units
that
are
needed
in
our
city
are
quite
significant
and
so
really
in
order
to
create
thousands
and
thousands
of
units.
Here
we
really
need
to
have
many
many
different
solutions
and
strategies
in
order
to
meet
these
goals
and
then
finally,
I
just
wanted
to
highlight.
We
also
have
a
grants
team
who
distributes
over
75
million
dollars
in
Grants.
J
That
number
actually
really
grew
through
the
pandemic,
because
there
were
so
many
federal
funds
that
flowed
through
in
order
to
create
Housing
Solutions.
So
this
group
has
been
busy,
but
they
reach
yeah
thousands
of
residents
just
through
many
different
programs
that
they
that
they
work
work
for
and
support,
and
that
is
the
end
of
my
presentation.
I'm
happy
to
take
questions
and
I
can
pop
back
to
any
slides
if
we
want
to
pull
them
back
up
no
problem
thanks.
K
J
K
That's
the
aggregate
number
of
low-income
units
that
have
been
built
in
San
Jose
and
that
could
be
Redevelopment
funding
that
could
be
privately
funded.
It
could
be
whatever,
but
that's
the
number
so
far
yes
and
then
one
more
question:
is
there
a
a
number
of
entitled
units
that
that
has
passed
entitlement
but
have
yet
to
be
built?
I
imagine
that
number
is
well
above
a
thousand.
J
I
would
say
so
again:
we
have
different
processes
for
affordable
housing
on
you
know,
going
through
entitlement,
so
I
didn't
even
there's
so
much
I
could
talk
about
anyway.
There
there
is,
for
example,
SB
35
is
a
state
law
where
what
the
developer
does
is
comes
through
and
works
through
a
ministerial
process,
and
so
they
can
actually
once
they
get.
They
complete
that
process
and
have
a
permit
they're
entitled
right.
J
So,
but
I
would
say
that
we
have
really
been
working
on
getting
the
the
date
of
entitlement.
Then
they
get
their.
They
have
to
have
their
entitlement
before
they
can
actually
get
a
funding
commitment
from
this
from
our
team,
because
we
can't
have
the
council
make
like
a
10
million
dollar
commitment
on
something.
That's
not
entitled,
like
that's
out
of
order.
J
So
basically
I
would
say
that
we
have
refined
this
process
so
that
the
affordable
housing
development
gets
entitled,
gets
funded
very
quickly
to
count
following
that
date,
and
then
they
submit
in
to
for
State
funding,
so
they're
going
to
apply
for
tax
credits
and
everything
else
again
very
quickly
so
and
then
once
they're
funded
they
move
forward.
So
we
just
try
and
have
that
time
from
entitlement
to
to
funding,
be
maybe
like
a
six
to
nine
month
period,
if
possible.
J
K
Do
but
I've
also
witnessed
things
have
been
entitled
and
they
haven't
been
built
for
years
and
they
were
designated
low-income
projects,
but
I
could
take
that
offline.
I,
don't
want
to
take
up
the
time.
J
K
Thank
you
so
much,
commissioner
larden
law.
L
Yeah,
thank
you
chair
and
thanks
for
the
presentation
Rachel,
this
is
a
little
off
topic,
so
please
feel
free
to
keep
it
brief,
but
I
came
of
age
after
the
2008
recession
and
when
the
state
abolished
Redevelopment
agencies.
So
when
they're
discussed
it's
always
a
little
mystifying
to
me,
you
could
just
briefly
go
over
what
their
role
was
and
powers
and
all
that
I
would
appreciate
it.
J
So
so
that's
that's
fine.
J
Okay,
so
essentially
Redevelopment
agencies
had
the
ability
to
create
it's
create
Maps,
so
they
would
take
like
a
certain
area,
okay
in
the
city,
and
they
would
draw
a
line
around
it,
and
this
is
the
Redevelopment
area
Okay
and
then,
at
that
time,
what
happened
is
the
property
taxes
for
that
geographic
area
were
were
essentially
like
frozen
so
whatever,
when
that
Redevelopment
area
was
established,
whatever
those
property
taxes
were,
then
it
that
became
like
a
Baseline.
J
So
then,
over
time,
as
Investments
were
made
in
that
area
and
the
property
values
for
that
area
increased,
then
the
increase
in
property
tax
collected
from
that
area
is
called
the
property
tax
increment,
okay,
so
basically
a
baseline
is
set
and
then
over
time,
there's
more
more
value,
more
value,
more
value,
and
then
this
difference
was
called
the
property
tax,
increment
and
all
of
the
property
tax.
J
J
So
then,
the
how
housing
is
all
tied
into
this
is
that
the
state
law
required
that
20
of
all
of
the
tax
increment
be
spent
on
affordable
housing
and
so
over
time
that
20
percent
had
to
be
invested
in
affordable
housing
rather
than
like
an
economic
development
type
of
investment
right.
You
know,
like
a
you,
know,
a
facade
or
you
know
what
I
mean
like
a
something
to
fix
up
a
business
district,
or
you
know
something
like
that.
J
L
All
right,
that's
really
helpful.
Thank
you,
commissioner.
K
M
J
Know
you
know,
and
I
should
have
spelled
out
my
acronym.
That
was
like
the
point
of
this
right.
So
I
have
I
apologize,
so
it's
the
Regional
Housing
needs
allocation.
J
Okay,
that's
what
this
all
spells
out,
and
so
what
happens
is
the
a
bag
which
is
the
associated
whatever
I'm
like
it's
a
it's,
a
a
big
entity,
Association.
J
You
I'm
like
what
are
they?
Okay,
the
association
of
Bay
Area
governments,
actually
does
a
study
and
determines
based
on
your
jurisdiction.
What
how
much
housing
you
need?
Okay,
like
based
on
population
growth
and
they're,
looking
they're
looking
over
time
as
well
they're.
You
know
so
they're
looking
at
like
how
much
you
need
now,
but
they're,
also
looking
at
like
a
like
an
eight
year,
Horizon,
okay,
so
they're
saying
in
San
Jose
in
order
to
meet
all
the
needs
of
the
population
that
exists
now
and
will
be
growing
into
the
next
eight
years.
J
San
Jose
will
need
62,
000
new
homes,
okay,
so
62
000
new
housing
units,
and
then
they
don't
just
leave
it
there
and
say
you
know
you
just
need
62
000..
They
go
on
and
break
it
down
by
income
level
right
so
so
again
like
if,
if
we
looked
up
like
this
27,
this
is
above
moderate.
So
this
is
what
I
would
consider
market
rate
housing
right.
So
what's
an
example
right
across
the
street
from
city
hall,
there's
the
Miro.
So
that's
like
a
brand
new
housing.
J
So
there's
that's
one
group
that
needs
to
be
built
right,
so
that's
27
000
of
those
units,
but
then,
if
you
think
about
very
low
income
and
extremely
low
income,
these
are
combined.
We
need
15
000
of
these
units
now
that
if
you
think
that
since
1987
we've
built
20
000
I
mean
to
think
of
what
15
000
is.
This
is
a
massive
effort
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
there's
another
8
600
for
low
and
then
this
moderate
income
is
also
interesting
is
ten
thousand
again.
These
are
big
numbers.
J
We
actually
don't
have
much
of
a
set
a
program
specifically
to
Modern
income
housing,
so
so
we're
trying
to
think
about
different
strategies
on
how
to
meet
this
goal,
but
what
the
housing
element
does
in
the
general
plan
is
it
actually
talks
through
goals
and
strategies
in
order
to
meet
this
need
this
housing
need
in
our
in
our
city.
M
C
H
I,
don't
believe
a
whole
lot,
so
I
mean
the
one
thing
that
can
happen
right.
So
so
let
me
just
say
this:
no
cities
have
been
meeting
there.
H
Affordable
goals
except
Beverly
Hills
at
like
five
six,
seven
Nani
units
that
they
built
and
that's
not
a
joke,
I'm
being
serious,
so
no
other
jurisdiction
has
I
I've
heard,
has
meant
they're,
affordable
and
most
jurisdictions
meet
their
above
market
rate
or
market
rate
housing.
It's
not
a
problem,
so
I'm
not
aware
of
any
consequences,
but
the
consequences
that
do
exist
already
exist
for
us,
and
that
is,
if
you
don't
meet
your
affordable
Arena
goals.
H
You
SB,
35
law
kicks
in,
and
developers
can
use
streamlining
for
projects
that
have
streamlining
Minister
approval
for
projects
that
have
50
of
the
units
or
more
that
are
affordable
and,
of
course,
no
one
really
builds
projects
that
are
50
market
rate
and
50
affordable.
So
it's
basically,
projects
that
are
100,
affordable,
have
a
streamlining
process
and
it
applies
to
San
Jose,
because
we
don't
mean
our
low-income
requirements
or
unit
goals.
H
That's
different,
so
that's
a
whole
different
thing.
So,
if
you
don't
meet
your
Arena
goals
for
market
rate,
then
market
rate
developers
also
can
do
streamlining
and
ministerial
approval
if
they
include
20
of
the
units
is
Affordable,
but
that's
something
that
hasn't
applied
to
us.
Yet
because
we
consistently
meet
our
market
rate
goals,
Arena
goals.
K
N
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
everyone
yeah
mine's,
mine's,
fairly
basic
in
the
chart
that
broke
down
the
residential
Department
division.
What
would
the
Ami
band
of
60
to
80
be
called?
J
J
We've
struggled
with
this
I
think
we
would
just
continue
to
call
it
moderate,
but
it
you
know
how
I
was
saying
even
in
the
arena
goals.
There's
this
moderate.
We
just
don't
have
like
a
whole
lot
of
structure
for
our
moderate
income.
The
reality
is
usually
when
we
talk
about
moderate,
we're
talking
about
20
80
to
120,
because
we're
thinking
about
we're
thinking
about
home
ownership,
because
typically
that's
the
the
group
of
people
who
would
be
buying
a
home
or
might
qualify
for
like
a
home
buyer
program.
J
But
we
also
have
these
renters,
who
may
be
between
60
and
80,
and
we
don't
really
have
a
whole
lot
of
programming
for
them,
which
we're
trying
to
think
through
so
I
guess
you
would
just
call
it
moderate
income,
renters,
maybe
or
I,
don't
know
it's
just
like
another
layer
of
modern
income,
but
low
is
not
higher
than
60..
I
guess
that's
the
point.
O
All
right,
thank
you,
Rachel
for
that
for
the
question
for
the
presentation
I'd
like
to
see
some
of
that
temporary
housing,
which
I
think
is
fantastic,
be
recycled,
I,
don't
know
how
long
the
people
that
are
in
there
stay,
but
I
I,
don't
know
exactly
what
you're
all
doing
to
take
them
from
temporary
housing
to
maybe
affordable
homeownership
opportunities.
O
O
Rv
parks,
I,
don't
know
what
you're
doing,
because,
obviously
we
have
a
lot
of
people
living
in
their
cars
and
I
know
you
have
the
same
safe
park
or
you
know
Park
parking
lot,
something
or
other,
but
I
like
to
see
the
city
maybe
do
a
little
bit
more
with
opening
up
RV
parks
for
affordable
options
for
people
to
maybe
permanently
live
in,
obviously,
there's
a
lot
along
Monterey
Road,
maybe
something
similar
to
that
I
mean
in
different
places
of
the
city.
O
I
also
would
like
to
see
that
affordable
housing
is
not
just
clustered
in
one
District
I'm
in
District
Seven,
and
it
seems
like
there's
a
lot
of
stuff.
That's
built
here,
which
is
fantastic,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
an
even
distribution
throughout
this
whole
city,
because
this
is
a
city-wide
issue
and
so
I
think
that
it
should
be
equally
distributed.
Another
thing
that
I
wanted
to
say
was:
have
you
considered
dorm-like
housing
for
housing
the
homeless?
O
K
I
guess
Robert
says
it's
okay.
He
wants
to
keep
us
on
a
tight
schedule
of
learning.
P
J
No,
that's
a
great
question.
I
would
just
say
the
first
two.
The
top
two
things
are
sites
just
finding
space
which
actually
in
the
housing
element,
we've
done
a
big
effort
in
trying
to
identify
sites
which
is
a
a
big
part
of
the
problem,
and
then
second
is
funding.
J
You
know
we
we
our
most
recent
notice
of
funding
availability.
We
are
over
subscribed
by
probably
30
million
dollars.
So
it's
you
know
we
have
more.
There
are
more
developers
that
want
to
do
this
work
than
there
is
money
to
go
around.
So
those
are
our
biggest
challenges.
All.
D
Thank
you
very
much.
Rachel
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
from
our
city,
attorney's
office,
Mark
Vinnie,
to
talk
to
us
about
the
current
legislative
changes
and
updates.
Q
Q
So
yes,
I'm
here
to
provide
a
legislative
update
to
everybody
and
probably
good
segue
from
the
affordable
housing
discussion,
because
much
of
the
work
that's
been
done
in
the
California
legislature
over
this
last
year,
as
well
as
the
last
couple
of
years
related
to
planning
and
land
use,
has
to
do
with
housing,
ensuring
that
housing
can
be
built
expeditiously
and
in
more
locations
in
order
to
alleviate
the
housing
crisis.
That's
plaguing
the
state,
and
indeed
it's
it's
probably
the
the
most
pressing
issue
that
the
state
of
California
is
facing.
Q
So
many
of
these
bills
that
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
all
deal
with
housing,
I
think
just
about
every
single
one
of
them
deals
with
housing,
and
you
know
this
is
my
first
time
providing
this
update
I'll
be
focusing
on
laws
that
were
passed
in
2022,
although
I
will
touch
on
some
bills
that
were
passed
in
2019
and
then
augmented
in
2021
I'm,
not
providing
a
comprehensive
summary
here
and
many
of
the
legislation
that
the
state
has
passed
in
the
last
a
few
years
is
quite
complicated,
quite
comprehensive.
Q
So
if
there
are
any
specific
questions,
I'll
do
my
best
to
answer.
However,
those
answers
may
need
to
be
something
I
get
back
to
you
all
later
on,
but
I'm
going
to
move
on
and
start
with
the
first
law,
so
SB,
330
and
sb8.
This
is
the
housing
crisis
Act
of
2019.,
so
this
was
Simon
to
law
in
2019
and
it
was
augmented
by
SBA
in
2021.
Q
The
Planning
Commission
Commissioners
may
already
be
aware
of
this
law,
but
I
wanted
to
talk
about
it,
because
it
is
a
landmark
legislation
that
the
state
passed
and
it
is
quite
expansive.
So
too,
much
to
explain
in
a
short
presentation
like
this
I
want
to
be
sensitive
to
everybody's
time,
but
the
gist
of
the
housing
crisis.
Act
is
it
prohibits
local
jurisdictions
from
enacting
new
laws
that
would
have
the
effect
of
reducing
the
legal
limit
on
new
housing
within
their
borders
or
delay
new
housing
via
administrative
or
other
regulatory
barriers?
Q
There
was
a
mention
of
the
building
builders
remedy,
which
I'll
touch
on
a
little
bit
and
that
has
to
do
with
the
housing
element
and
part
of
the
Builder's
remedy
comes
out
of
SB
330
and
this
legislation.
So
so
the
gist
of
the
Builder's
remedy
is
that
jurisdictions
in
the
northern
part
of
California
have
to
submit
and
have
their
housing
element
approved
by
HED,
which
is
the
state's
housing
department
by
January
1st
2023
many
jurisdictions
are
unlikely
to
have
their
housing
element
approved
by
that
deadline
and
what
the
building
builders
remedy
does.
Q
Is
it
streamlines
it's
a
it's
intended
to
be
a
punitive
measure,
but
it's
streamlined.
It's
a
streamlining
tool
that
provides
developers
the
option
to
file
an
application
for
a
Housing
Development
with
at
least
20
percent,
affordable
housing.
That
is
not
in
conformance
with
the
jurisdiction,
zoning
or
general
plan.
So
there
has
been
some
news
about
the
builders
remedy
and
planning
circles
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks
because
of
a
an
erroneous
interpretation
of
what
was
thought
to
be
a
grace
period
of
120
days.
Q
Apparently,
HED
had
advised
that
that
grace
period
is
not
in
fact
applicable
here.
Q
So
it
is
something
that
the
Planning
Commission
should
be
aware
of,
even
though
many
of
the
projects
that
would
qualify
under
the
Builder's
remedy
would
not
come
to
the
Planning
Commission
for
any
any
type
of
zoning
approval,
or
anything
like
that,
although
you
may
be
able
to,
there
are
some
discussions
about
the
extent
to
which
the
building
the
Builder's
remedy
is
subject
to
SQL
and
how
SQL
can
be
used
to
deal
with
that,
and
one
thing
that
sb8
and
SB
330
well
SBA
did
is
extend
the
Statewide
housing
emergency
through
2030.,
so
more
about
sp330
I
mean
this
is
a
long
list
of
bullet
points
of
what
it
does.
Q
As
I
mentioned,
it
prevents
local
well
one.
It
prevents
local
governments
from
down
zoning
unless
they
upzone
an
equivalent
amount
elsewhere.
Within
their
borders,
city
of
San
Jose
actually
has
a
carve
out
for
it.
Where
we
can
Bank,
we
can
downs,
we
can
up
Zone
and
bank
and
staff
probably
has
a
better
explanation
as
to
what
that
actually
does.
But
there
is
a
carve
out
for
this
for
the
city
of
San
Jose.
Q
It
suspends
the
enactment
of
local
down
zoning
and
housing
construction
moratoriums
important
important
changes
that
it
requires
timely
processing
of
housing
permits
that
follow
zoning
rules.
It
limits
the
number
of
hearings
that
you
can
have
it
ensures
a
demolition
of
housing,
does
not
result
in
net
loss
of
units
and
postpones
requirements
for
voter
approval.
Zoning
General
plan
changes.
Q
Q
I
also
wanted
to
talk
about
SP
1333,
so
this
is
passed
in
2018.
It's
nothing
new,
but
it
is
something
I
wanted
to
draw
a
planning
commission's
attention
to,
because
it
is
something
that
the
city
is
is
doing
periodically
on
a
regular
basis
and
what
SB
1333
does
is.
Q
It
requires
Charter
cities
to
align
their
zoning
districts
with
General
plan
land
use
designation,
so
Charter
cities
previously
were
not
required
to
have
consistency
between
their
zoning
ordinances
and
their
land
use
General
plan
land
use
designations
within
their
city,
and
there
was
a
whole
process
to
rezone
that
and
SB
13833
now
requires
that
type
of
consistency,
so
periodically
planning
staff
will
bring
a
rezoning
ordinance
worth
a
number
of
parcels
that
need
to
be
made
consistent
with
the
general
plan,
and
so
it's
something
that
is
done.
I,
think
I'm.
Q
Correct
yeah,
and
thanks
thanks
for
that
Michael
a
number
of
these
laws
just
so
the
Planning
Commission
is
aware,
is
you
know,
streamlining
ministerial
approval
of
projects
and
so
I'm,
bringing
it
to
the
planning
commission's
attention?
Because
these
you
know
Statewide
laws
are,
are
taking
away
local
control
quite
a
bit
from
jurisdictions.
Putting
it
in
the
hands
of
you
know,
staff
to
review
whether
or
not
a
project
complies
or
not
with
a
particular
objective
standard,
and
if
it
does,
then
ministerial
approval
is
required
and
what
ministerial
approval
means
is
approval
by
right.
Q
So
if
you
meet
the
criteria,
then
you
get
your
permit
or
your
your
project
approved,
and
so
many
of
these
laws,
not
this
one
that
I
had
up
on
the
screen,
but
many
of
these
laws
will
be
taking
projects
that
may
have
come
before
the
Planning
Commission
in
the
past.
Out
of
the
planning
commission's
jurisdiction,
but
sb6
is
not
one
of
them.
It's
been
referred
to
as
the
middle
class
Housing
Act
of
2022.
Q
It
deems
a
Housing
Development
project,
as
defined
under
the
law,
an
allowable
use
on
a
parcel
that
is
within
a
Zone
where
office,
retail
or
parking
are
principally
permitted
use
if
certain
conditions
are
met.
As
far
as
notice
density
things
like
that,
it
doesn't
create
a
ministerial
approval
requirement,
which
means
that
it
is
still
subject
to
discretionary
approval
of
you
know,
planning,
Commissioners
and
city
council,
depending
on
on
what
is
being
done.
It
does
have
prevailing
wage
and
skilled
and
trained
Workforce
requirements.
Q
That's
another
thing
that
you
see
in
a
number
of
these
housing
laws
that
came
out
in
2022.
They
also
double
as
what
I
would
consider
a
jobs
bills
where
they
require.
You
know
prevailing
wage,
skilled
and
trained
Workforce,
and
then
it
also
provides
certain
enforcement
benefits
to
labor
organizations
in
the
event
that
these
rules
are
not
followed.
Sb6
is
effective,
July,
1st
2023
and
it
will,
through
January
1st
2033.
Q
Unlike
sb6,
it
does
create
a
ministerial
approval
process
and
it
would
authorize
a
development
proponent
to
submit
an
application
for
a
Housing
Development
that
meets
a
specified
objective
standards
in
affordability,
site
criteria
and
in
in
certain
areas,
but
including
office,
retail
or
parking,
where
that's
a
principle
principally
permitted
use,
and
it
would
allow
housing
to
be
built
by
right
in
those
in
those
areas
and
it's
the
affordability
requirements,
a
100,
affordable
to
lower
income,
households
will
be
allowed,
or
at
least
15
percent
of
the
units
would
be
at
least.
Q
15
percent
of
the
units
would
be
required
to
be
affordable
to
lower
income.
Households
for
excuse
me
for
rent
projects,
alternatively,
or
provide
at
least
eight
percent
of
the
units
for
very
low
income,
households
and
five
percent
for
extremely
low
income,
households
and
then
for
sale
projects.
Could,
alternatively,
provide
30
percent
of
their
units
for
moderate
income
households.
Q
The
next
bill
is
AB
916.
It
deals
with.
It
prohibits
a
city
from
adopting
or
enforcing
an
ordinance
requiring
a
public
hearing
as
a
condition
of
reconfiguring
existing
space
to
increase
the
bedroom
count
and
existing
dwelling
unit
again
I
don't
know
if
this
is
something
that
would
normally
come
before
the
Planning
Commission,
but
it,
but
it
is
a
a
bill
that
limits
What.
The
number
of
hearings
that
a
city
can
require
when
somebody
wants
to
expand
an
existing
unit.
Q
The
next
bill
and
I'm
moving
along
pretty
quick
here,
so
we
might
be
able
to
move
a
little
faster
on
our
on
our
schedule
here.
But
the
next
bill
is
ab221
deals
with
Adu
construction,
and
this
law
prohibits
local
governments
from
requiring
a
zoning
clearance
or
a
separate
zoning
review,
prevents
local
governments
from
imposing
for
incent
front
setbacks
if
they
would
prevent
Adu.
Q
That
is
at
least
800
square
feet
restricts
the
ability
of
a
local
government
to
impose
height
limits,
clarifies
that
a
detached
Adu
can
include
a
detached
garage
and
it
allows
developers
to
add
AVS
to
their
properties
with
proposed
multi-family
buildings,
which
is
an
important,
important
change
and
confirms
that
only
objective
standards
may
be
used
for
the
review.
So
that's
another
thing
that
many
of
the
housing
laws
that
have
been
passed
in
the
last
couple
of
years.
Q
Try
to
strengthen
is
make
the
criteria
for
approving
or
denying
a
project
subject
to
objective
standards,
as
opposed
to
objective
standards.
Like
you
know,
does
it
fit
with
the
neighborhood
character
or
something
like
that?
In
short,
a
b
221
makes
it
easier
for
property
owners
to
get
their
adus
approved
and
restricts
the
ability
of
the
government
to
impose
developed
standards
on
these
kind
of
units.
Q
The
next
bill
is
SB
897,
and
it
deletes
a
sunset
provision:
a
2025
sunset
provision
in
a
current
statute,
which
prohibits
a
local
agency
from
imposing
an
owner-occupied
requirement
such
that
now
there
is
no
owner
occupied
requirement
for
adus
and
Junior
adus
SB
897
also
prohibits
a
local
agency
from
denying
a
permit
for
an
unpermitted
Adu
because
of
a
building
standard
violation
violation
unless
it's
a
health
and
safety
violation.
Q
Furthermore,
it
proposes
grant
funding
for
constructions
of
adus
and
it,
and
that
has
to
do
with
some
there's
some
easing
of
fire
sprinkler
requirements
and
things
like
that.
In
addition,
it
increases
the
max
maximum
height
to
18
feet
in
high
Transit
areas
and
for
detached
80s
and
properties
that
contain
multi-story
multi-family
buildings
and
then
for
all
attached.
Adus
and
New
Height
maximum
is
25
feet
and
previously
cities
had
to
allow
16
feet
Heights
for
adus
foreign
bill
ab2334.
Q
It
amends
the
density,
bonus,
law
and
density.
Bonus
law
is
a
tool
that
developers
have
if
they
meet
certain
affordability
requirements.
They
can
waive
certain
development
standards
or
get
certain
concessions
on
requirements,
and
so
there's
a
distinction
between
a
a
waiver
and
a
concession
and
the
city
is
limited,
particularly
with
concessions.
We
can
reject
them
only
if
they
meet
if
they
would
create
certain
health
and
safety
risks,
but
ab2334
allows
a
housing.
Q
Development
in
17
specified
counties,
including
and
Santa
Clara
county
is
included
in
that,
and
it
allows
a
development
that
meets
that
affordability
requirement
meets
the
affordability
requirements
to
receive
added
height
and
then
limit
and
and
density
if
the
project
is
located
in
an
urbanized,
as
the
statute
refers
very
low
vehicle
travel
area,
so
long
as
at
least
80
percent
of
the
units
are
restricted
to
lower
income,
households
and
no
more
than
20
percent
are
for
moderate
income.
Q
Households
and
low,
very
low
vehicle
travel
area
means
an
urbanized
area
as
designated
by
the
United
States
Census
Bureau,
or
the
existing
residential
development
generates
vehicle
miles.
Traveled
per
capita
that
is
below
85
percent
of
either
Regional
vehicle
miles,
travel
per
capita
or
City
Vehicle
miles.
Q
Traveled
per
capita,
and
so
with
that
bill
that
that
concludes
my
you
know
what
I
wanted
to
talk
about
if
there
are
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer
and
take
them
into
consideration,
if
there's
any
law
here
that
you're
aware
of
or
want
more
information
on
that
I
didn't
cover,
please
feel
free
to
contact
me
or,
let
me
know,
and
and
we
can
provide
a
summary
of
that
for
you
all.
K
Thanks
Mark,
hey
Mark,
quick
question
on
ab2030
34
I.
Don't
know
how
many
threes
I
added
there,
but
on
don't
some
cities
get
into
legal
entanglements
when
they're
their
elected
bodies
or
pointed
bodies
reject
a
density
project
and
then
they
open
the
municipality
up
to
litigation
potentially.
Q
Yes,
I
mean
that's,
that's
the
thing.
There
is
a
whole
process,
even
within
our
city,
to
deal
with
density,
bonus
requests
and
our
density
bonus
ordinance
does
go
a
little
bit
further
than
what
the
state
requires.
But
yes,
I
mean
that
that
has
opened
up
I.
Believe
the
city
of
San
Diego
had
a
big
case
dealing
with
a
density
bonus,
a
dispute-
and
there
was
another
case
in
the
city-
is
escaping
me,
but
but
that
is
something
that
has
occurred.
K
I
think
it's
Santa
Monica
and
Santa
Cruz,
but
thank.
C
M
Q
Sure
so
the
the
one
that
was
ministeria
was
SB.
Excuse
me
AB
2011,
and
the
distinction
there
was
that
it
it
required
certain
affordability,
so
affordable,
housing
on
commercially
Zone
lands.
And
that's
what
you
know.
If
a
developer
was
going
to
be
providing
housing
that
met
that
standard,
then
they
would
get
ministerial,
they
would
have
a
ministerial
process.
My
understanding
of
sb6,
though,
is
that
it
just
opens
up
certain
corridors
to
that
a
certain
office
and
Commercial
corridors
to
that
to
development,
but
it
doesn't
mandate
any
affordability.
Q
So
you
don't
get
an
administrative
or
ministerial
approval
process.
Okay,.
K
Anyone
else,
commissioner
and
Ellis
wise.
O
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
so
that
basically
allows
anybody
to
put
an
Adu
in
their
front
yard
and
don't
require
the
front
setbacks.
Is
that
correct
did
I,
understand,
you're
right.
Q
Q
F
They
have
the
ability
to
put
it
in
their
backyard,
they
need
to
put
it
there,
but
if
there's
not
an
ability
to
put
it
because
of
restraints
or
anything
else,
the
law
allows
them
to
put
it
in
the
front.
So
that's
the
hard
part
of
interpretation
is
what
makes
it
incapable
putting
it
in
the
backyard
and
that's
where
it's
a
little
gray.
O
Yeah,
that
makes
more
sense,
John
thank
you
so
much
and
on
SB
897.
O
So
even
an
unpermitted
structure
that
was
maybe
on
someone's
property
could
be
converted
into
an
Adu
per
SB
897.
Is
that
correct.
K
Thanks
and
Mark
sb9
is
ministerial,
so
that's
out
of
your
presentation
as
well.
Q
Yeah
I
I
wanted
to
focus
on
you
know:
I
touched
on
sp330
and
SBA,
but
I
I
wanted
to
focus
on
the
new
legislation,
especially
those
that
were
creating
ministerial
processes
such
that
they'll.
Take
these
projects
away
from
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
city
council,
but
yes,
sb9
is
ministerial
and
and
there's
also
sp10
as
well,
which
does
has
to
do
with
SQL
and
zoning,
and
those
are
other
big
housing
laws
that
were
passed
in
I.
Believe
2019.,
commissioner,.
O
I
do
just
I
think
it
was
incorrect
me
if
I'm
wrong.
Mark
ab2011
is
that
the
one
where
you
could
have
housing
on
commercial
property.
Q
Yes,
if
it's
affordable,
if
it
meets
certain
affordability
criteria,
then
it
would,
it
would
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
a
ministerial
process.
I.
H
Well,
so
the
bill
is
is
not
in
effect,
yet
I
think
correct.
Babe,
I'm,
wrong,
I
think
the
the
date
is
July
1st
when
it
goes
into
effect,
yeah
so
anyway,
so
that
hasn't
gone
into
effect.
Yet
I
just
want
to
note
that
the
package
might
be
interesting.
That's
actually
the
planning
staff,
so
Martina
Davis,
as
well
as
Jared
from
OED
who's
kind
of
on
our
team,
actually
worked
with
the
author
in
I,
think
it
was
Buffy
Wicks
right
his
her
office
to
write
to
actually
craft
that
bill.
H
We
had
a
lot
of
concerns
about
it
when
it
first
came
out
and,
unlike
in
other
legislative
offices,
the
author
of
that
bill
was
an
urban
planner
from
the
city
of
San,
Francisco,
actually
or
former
City
San
Francisco
planner,
and
so
we,
our
staff,
were
able
to
work
with
them,
including
me
to
actually
shape
that
bill
in
a
way
that
was
largely
consistent
with
our
general
plan
policies
regarding
affordable
housing
and
where
it
can
go
and
also
restricted
it
so
that
you
couldn't
convert
industrial
property.
H
That
was
a
really
our
biggest
concern,
because
we
generally
have
ways
to
allow
commercial
properties
to
be
converted
to
Affordable
and
it's
more
or
less
consistent
with
this
law
so
yeah.
So
we
work
really
closely
with
them
on
that.
So
it
was
a
really
it
was
over.
It
ended
up
being
a
fairly
positive
outcome,
I
mean
to
truth,
be
known.
H
We
don't,
rather
the
state
don't
come
and
mess
with
our
businesses
right
and
just
give
us
local
control
and
even
though
we're
kind
of
doing
a
lot
of
the
same
work
with
the
state
as
we
rather
have
more
flexibility.
But
in
this
case
we
actually
work
with
the
author
and
and
did
it
in
a
way
that
kind
of
reduced
our
concerns
here.
O
No,
that's
really
glad
I'm
really
glad
to
hear
I
mean
just
because
you
know
it
seems
like
everyone's
working
from
home.
If
someone
has-
or
you
know,
I
mean
the
my
only
concern
with
the
affordability
is
you
know
what,
if
someone
purchases
a
commercial
building
and
wants
to
live
and
operate
out
of
it,
would
they
be
able
to
or
because
of
their
income
not
be
able
to,
and
it
would
only
be
like
their
staff?
But
what?
If
it's
like?
A
one
like
a
you
know
someone!
O
That's
like
a
solo,
you
know
someone,
that's
just
running.
H
Yeah
I
mean
we
have
to
look
into
that,
but
remember,
there's
two
laws:
there's
the
one
that's
affordable,
ab2011
has
affordability
criteria
and
there's
another
one
SB
six
that
doesn't
right
so
I
think
now
you
probably
would
have
to
use
union
labor
when,
when
you
want
to
do
the
improvements
for
your
little
unit
upstairs,
but
you
know,
I
think
there
is
a
probably
a
path
in
that
situation
under
one
of
those
bills.
Oh
yes,
B6
in
that
case,.
H
I
will
add
that
you
know
this.
These
bills
were
very
much
there
was
there
were
the
unions
that
aligned
with
2011-
and
there
were
other
unions
that
align
with
sp6,
and
it
was
kind
of
a
situation
where
unions
were
pitted
against
unions,
and
so
it's
kind
of
an
uncomfortable
situation
for
our
Democratic
Progressive
legislature
and
and
the
governor,
so
what
they
did
is
they
just
signed?
Let's
sign
both.
H
Let's
go
for
both,
so
that
that's
kind
of
what
one
of
the
things
that
happened,
but
that
being
said,
I
think
For,
Better
or
Worse,
depending
on
your
perspective,
we're
not
anticipating
a
lot
of
development
under
sb6
because
of
the
requirements
prevailing
wage
AKA,
union
labor,
just
because
market
rate
developers
are
generally
adverse
to
committing
to
that,
and
so
because
of
that,
even
though
it
looks
good
on
paper
I,
we
don't
anticipate,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
market
rate
development,
converting
commercial
land.
Under
this
bill
now
affordable.
H
We
think
it
could
actually
help
with
affordable
and
result
and
affordable
housing
developers.
Typically,
use
do
prevailing
wage
and
Rachel
probably
knows
more
about
why
but
I
think
it's
a
requirement,
often
other
funding,
for
example
from
the
city.
R
K
R
K
On
this
topic
from
the
commission,
I
guess
we
can
move
on
to
the
next
one
Robert
all
I'd
say
is
all
these
laws
are
a
variety
of
people
having
opinions
on
them,
but
unless
you
have
a
private
property
owner
that
wants
to
go
develop
the
land
nothing
happens.
So
it
takes
that
initiative
from
the
private
property
owners
side
of
the
fence,
foreign.
D
A
A
A
A
A

A
A

A
A
A
C
C
A
D
D
O
Thank
you,
I
think
Jennifer
will
be
sharing
my
presentation.
O
Great
so
good
afternoon,
Commissioners,
my
name
is
Rick
guetto
I
am
a
supervising,
planner
and
I
oversee
the
housing
team
in
planning.
O
I
am
also
working
collaboratively
with
the
housing
department
on
the
housing
element,
update
and
I'm.
The
project
manager
on
the
planning
side
I'm
here,
to
provide
a
high
level
overview
of
the
housing
element,
update
process
which
is
currently
underway,
and
just
so
you
know
there
is
a
study
session
scheduled
for
November,
16th
I.
Think
we'll
we'll
discuss
in
more
detail
the
actual
draft
document
itself
and
the
findings,
the
sites,
inventory
programs
and
policies
and
such
next
slide.
Please.
O
O
Our
six
cycle,
housing
element
will
go
from
2023
to
2031.,
it's
due
to
the
state
of
California
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development
hcd
early
next
year,
and
this
is
also
an
important
opportunity
to
have
a
conversation
with
our
residents
and
stakeholders
about
how
San
Jose
will
grow
and
develop
in
the
context
of
what
we
put
into
the
housing
element
is
very
important.
O
City
council
will
adopt
this
plan
and
it's
when
they
adopted
it's
saying
that
they
will
commit
to
what
is
in
the
plan
in
terms
of
policies
and
programs,
as
you've
probably
heard
I
think
received
from
the
previous
presentations.
The
state
is
increasingly
increasing
their
enforcement
capabilities
to
follow
up
with
cities
that
don't
do
what
they
say.
They
will
do
in
their
housing
elements
and
they
actually
have
hired
a
whole
enforcement
unit
and
they
have
the
power
to
refer
cities
directly
to
the
attorney
general
for
Action.
O
We
do
not
expect
that
to
be
something
that
San
Jose
would
face
just
given
that
we
are
a
leader
in
housing,
but
we
note
this
to
illustrate
that
this
is
not
a
casual
plan,
it's
official
and
important,
and
we
are
being
careful
with
what
goes
in
the
plan.
So
we
can
keep
our
word
next
slide.
O
So,
since
1969,
the
state
of
California
has
required
that
local
governments
to
adequately
plan
to
meet
the
housing
needs
of
everyone
in
their
communities
through
the
development
of
housing
elements.
The
laws
that
govern
this
process
are
collectively
known
as
the
state
housing
element
law.
The
Regional
Housing
needs
allocation
process
Arena
as
you've
heard
and
you'll
continue.
Hearing
throughout
this
presentation.
It's
a
part
of
the
state's
housing
element
law
and
it's
used
to
determine
how
many
new
homes
and
the
affordability
of
those
homes
that
local
governments
have
to
plan
for
in
their
housing
elements.
O
For
this
six
cycle
for
the
Bay
Area
nine
County
region
arena
is
441
176
new
homes,
it's
a
135
percent
increase
from
the
fifth
cycle,
but
not
as
high
as
anticipated
in
other
areas
like
the
Los
Angeles
metro
area.
That
saw
225
percent
increase
from
the
fifth
to
the
sixth
cycle,
the
Regional
Council
of
governments
in
the
Bay
Area
I'm.
Sorry,
the
State
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development
first
determines
each
Region's
housing
need
by
income
level
for
the
planning
period.
O
Next
slide,
so
abag
established
a
housing
methodology
committee
to
develop
that
draft
methodology.
They
met
12
times
between
2019
and
2020,
and
it
consisted
of
37
members
representing
multiple
jurisdictions.
Michael
Brio,
our
deputy
director,
was
a
member
of
that
committee.
O
So
this
table
shows
Arena
allocations
across
the
nine
counties
in
terms
of
percentages
for
Santa
Clara
County.
The
total
is
129
and
927
units
that
we
have
to
plan
for,
so
these
goals
were
developed
by
first
starting
with
a
forecast
of
the
following
decade.
Looking
at
the
current
supply
of
housing
versus
the
need
and
developing
the
number
of
units
for
each
region,
the
housing
need
is
generally
based
on
natural
growth,
so
people
having
children
and
families
growing
people
moving
in
from
other
places,
as
well
as
economic
growth.
O
The
Bay
Area
allocated
its
Arena
according
to
a
somewhat
complicated
methodology
that,
but
it's
consistent
with
the
plan
B
area
2050..
That
plan
talks
about
how
we'll
grow
as
a
region
how
we
will
become
more
Equitable
and
combat
climate
change.
The
final
methodology
took
into
account
each
City's
presence
of
high
opportunity
areas
and
access
to
jobs
in
transit.
O
San
Jose
received
about
14
of
the
bay
area's
goals.
It's
smaller
than
the
percentage
from
the
last
cycle.
When
we
received
about
18
and
a
half
percent
other
cities
in
the
Bay
Area
received
goals
of
three
to
four
times
what
they
had
in
the
last
cycle.
Cities
like
Palo,
Alto
and
Cupertino,
mainly
because
of
the
presence
of
high
opportunity
areas
in
those
cities.
O
This
chart
breaks
down
the
city's
new
renal
goals
to
accommodate
the
62
200
new
housing
units.
It
breaks
it
down
by
income
level
and
just
to
note
that
very
low
income
also
includes
a
subset
of
extremely
low
income.
That's
how
we've
been
reporting
our
renal
goals,
at
least
through
the
fifth
cycle,
possibly
the
fourth
cycle.
O
The
second
column
defines
how
much
of
the
total
Rena
goal
is
for
each
category,
so
55
for
the
first
three
rows
and
then
45
are
above
mod
or
market
rate
and
then
the
last
column
shows
the
increase
between
our
current
cycle
and
then
this
one
and
the
increase
overall
we're
seeing
a
7
77
percent
increase
from
fit
cycle
to
six
cycle
and
just
want
to
clarify
that
the
city's
requirement
for
these
goals
is
not
to
build
the
housing
itself.
O
It's
to
plan
to
accommodate
housing
need
by
putting
in
place
land
use
policies,
taking
planning
actions
such
as
zonings
and
executing
on
its
policy
and
program,
work
plan
to
further
fair
housing
objectives
and
reduce
barriers
to
housing,
production
and
preservation.
O
So,
what's
in
a
housing
element,
there
are
several
parts
of
the
housing
element,
including
studies
and
analyzes,
like
those
that
look
at
the
housing
that
we
have
now
and
what
type
of
housing
is
needed,
whether
it's
single-family
multi-family,
affordable
market
rate.
We
also
look
at
and
evaluate
constraints
or
issues
that
make
it
hard
to
develop
housing,
and
we
look
at
both
governmental
constraints,
so,
whether
it's
Heights
zoning
policies
and
non-governmental
constraints,
which
include
construction
costs,
costs
for
land
things
outside
of
the
government's
control.
O
We
identify
sites
where
it's
possible
to
add
new
housing.
That
would
be
our
site's
inventory
and
what
we
also
call
sometimes
opportunity
sites.
O
It
includes
a
review
of
goals,
policies
and
programs
and
figuring
out
new
ones,
there's
also
new
considerations
for
fair
housing,
fair
housing
laws
to
address
discrimination
and
segregation
and
housing.
Also,
the
state
requires
that
housing
elements
engage
community
members
in
discussing
housing
needs
so
that
the
final
plan
reflects
and
responds
to
community
concerns
and
priorities.
Foreign.
O
So
these
next
slides
are
just
sort
of
what
is
fair
housing
definitions
of
fair
housing.
Fair
housing
is
about
all
of
these
things.
You
know,
there's
individual
city,
City
level
responses,
but
it's
about
preventing
discrimination
and
housing,
and
it's
also
about
actively
creating
opportunities,
addressing
patterns
and
the
history
of
segregation
and
about
fostering
inclusive
communities.
O
Just
a
note,
you
know
parallel
to
this
housing
element
process,
the
city's
housing
department
is
producing
an
assessment
of
fair
housing
and
that
documents
the
barriers
to
housing
and
identify
strategies
to
help
as
well.
This
that
plan
was
is
also
going
to
closely
follow
the
housing
element
and
the
timeline
for
adoption
next
slide.
O
This
chart
shows
the
different
protected
classes
under
Fair
Housing,
both
for
the
federal
and
state
of
California,
and
our
analysis
includes
analysis
of
these
particular
groups
as
well.
In
our
draft
document.
O
Next
slide,
it's
a
little
bit
more
about
fair
housing
and,
and
why
we're
doing
that
this
time
around
for
the
housing
element
update
with
California
Assembly,
Bill
696
being
signed
by
the
governor,
it
requires
that
all
housing
elements
addressed
for
housing.
O
Again
it's
about
preventing
discrimination
and
doing
more
than
just
ending
it.
There's
also
jurisdictions
have
to
redress
past
discrimination.
So
we
have
to
think
about
how
do
we
overcome
these
parent
patterns
of
segregation?
How
do
we
make
communities
more,
welcoming
and
inclusive,
and
how
do
we
have
fairness
and
opportunity
for
all
regardless
of
race,
religion,
gender,
family
status,
disability,
Etc
and
it
improves?
It
includes
also,
you
know,
improving
access
to
where
people
currently
live
next
slide.
O
These
are
just
some
of
the
examples
of
fair
housing
issues
that
we
we
know
about
and
that
we've
heard
about
actually
in
our
work
in
our
analysis,
so
some
are
about
discrimination
on
the
individual
level,
like
large
families
having
a
harder
time
getting
accepted
for
apartments
or
renters
being
evicted,
because
they
don't
display
a
certain
type
of
behavior.
It's
also
and
some
other
examples
also
intersect
with
discrimination.
O
Other
areas
like
an
income
or
employment
and
together
they
just
create
a
larger
pattern
like
that
more
renters
tend
to
be
non-white
and
that
people
who
pay
too
much
for
housing
are
also
more
likely
to
be
Latino,
latinx
or
African-American.
O
So,
like
many
other
large
cities
in
the
in
the
U.S,
we
have
a
distinct
pattern
of
segregation
by
race
and
socioeconomic
status
in
San
Jose.
This
map
is
from
the
HUD
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
tool.
The
you
can
sort
of
see
the
outline
of
the
city's
limits
and
each
dot
represents
75
people.
Orange
dots
are
non-hispanic
white
residents,
purple
dots
are
Asian
and
Pacific.
O
O
Oh
next
slide.
Sorry
I
meant
to
take
that
one
out.
Okay,
so
this
gets
us
to
our
timeline.
So
where
are
we
in
our
process?
We
started
in
2019
with
the
housing
departments,
assessment
of
fair
housing.
O
Their
initial
findings
were
presented
to
City
Council
in
June
of
2021
and
they've
been
updated
and
incorporated
into
the
housing
element
document
itself.
We
launched
community
outreach
and
engagement
for
the
housing
element
update
about
a
year
ago
now
last
September,
and
we
had
a
series
of
meetings
and
events
over
these
different
phases
here.
Right
now
we're
in
phase
four,
where
we've
put
the
draft
out
for
the
public
review
per
a
30-day
public
comment
period.
O
We
did
integrate
changes
to
the
draft
based
on
public
comments
and
letters
received
and
right
now
the
state
Housing
Community,
Development
hcd.
They
have
our
draft
element
and
are
reviewing
it.
We
expect
their
comment
letter
in
mid-December.
O
We
do
expect
about
three
reviews:
three
cycles
of
review
with
the
state,
and
we
hope
that
the
last
one
will
be
a
little
bit
more
short
and
just
formally
before
we
start
taking
these
to
the
formal
through
the
formal
public
hearing
process
which
will
culminate
with
the
city
council,
review
and
adoption
sometime
in
late
spring
next
slide.
O
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we
have
the
draft
housing
element
document
itself,
posted
we've
done
that
it's
it's
still
online
right.
Now
you
can
the
next
slide
and
we'll
share
with
you.
It
does
have
links
to
where
you
can
get
this
information.
O
During
that
30-day
public
review,
we
received
17
comment
letters,
17
online
form,
submissions
as
I
said:
we've
Incorporated
some
of
those
suggestions
and
then
the
ones
that
we
didn't
incorporate.
We
are
just
pending
further
staff
evaluation.
O
O
Next
slide-
and
this
just
outlines
the
next
steps
in
more
of
a
table
format
when
we're
going
to
Planning
Commission,
there's
also
study
sessions
for
the
Housing
and
Community
Development.
Commission,
formal
approvals
will
include
the
airport,
land
use,
commission,
Housing
and
Community
Development,
Planning,
Commission
and
then
city
council
adoption
next
slide,
and
that's
where
you
can
find
some
information.
The
first
link
is
where
we
have
our
draft
posted.
O
We
also
have
we
have
videos,
we
have
webinars,
we
have
notes
from
all
of
our
community
meetings,
presentations,
PowerPoints
and
then
the
the
three
bullets
there
are
just
more
General
housing
element
in
the
Bay
Area
mtca
bags
website
that
provided
a
lot
of
technical
assistance
to
cities.
As
we
were
developing
this
work
and
then
finally
hcd's
website
that
talks
about
what's
required
in
these
housing
elements
and
last
slide,
I
think
that's
it
open
for
questions
or
comments.
Mr.
D
K
Thank
you,
Robert.
Thank
you,
Ruth
Ruth,
on
our
study
session
coming
up
for
the
Planning
Commission.
Is
it
really
more
of
a
public
vetting
of
the
housing
element
in
front
of
the
commission,
or
is
the
commission
supposed
to
take
an
action.
O
No
action:
we
are
open
to
your
feedback
and
your
thoughts
on
on
the
draft
and
what
we'll
be
presenting
in
terms
of
the
the
programs
and
policies.
Great.
G
N
Perfect,
thank
you
hi
Ruth
good
afternoon.
Thank
you
for
presenting
this
information
to
us.
I
have
two
questions.
One
is
I
appreciate
you
bringing
up
fair
housing
from
the
first
presentation,
I
hope
she's
still
with
us
as
well.
She
wants
to
chime
in
Rachel,
but
how
would
you
say?
Cluster
housing
would
like
that
approach
to
development
be
be
seen
under
fair
housing
and
then
I
have
a
second
follow-up.
N
It's
it's
a
term
that
I
just
learned
today,
I,
don't
know
if
Rachel
is
still
on
the
call.
She
gave
an
example
of
a
tower
example:
hey.
K
O
I
would
say
that
maybe
some
of
the
things
that,
because
we've
had
these,
we
actually
have
a
project
like
that
that
was
entitled
over
at
tamien
station.
You
had
like
two
towers.
You
know
five,
six
stories
that
were
market
rate
and
then
on
a
separate
lot.
It's
an
affordable
project.
It's
actually
moving
forward
now,
but
I
think
you
know
some
considerations
for
us
to
to
think
about.
Is
that
how
separate
they
are
in
terms
of
the
amenities?
O
I
understand
that
there's
like
financing
issues
and
that's
why
they
tend
to
be
separated,
but
we
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
way
for
us
to
deny
a
project
like
that.
Only
because,
like
because
they're
separated,
at
least
from
the
planning
perspective,
I
know
that
housing
has
their
considerations
when
it
comes
to
the
iho
and
inclusionary
housing.
N
Okay,
perfect,
thank
you
and
this
question
I'm
highlighting
from
from
another
commissioner
that
asked
it
as
well
Miss
Miss,
ornelas
Wise.
Is
there
something
I
don't
know
if
this
is
like
in
the
six
cycle
where,
where
we
can
bring
up
the
data
of
affordable
housing
being
spread
out
throughout
a
city?
N
O
So
with
AB
686,
the
state
law
that
requires
us
to
to
conduct
fair
housing
analysis
and
throughout
the
entire
housing
element
or
those
fair
housing
principles,
one
of
the
guidelines
from
hcd
is
that
when
we
are
looking
at
our
you
know
the
62
200
units,
our
site's
inventory,
that
we
can't
concentrate
more
than
half
of
them
in
areas
that
are
already
high
poverty
or
segregated
areas.
So
the
intent
is
that,
like
you,
said,
kind
of
everyone
takes
their
fair
share.
We
spread
the
love
we
have
sites
throughout
the
city
and
they're.
O
Not
all
of
the
low-income
ones
are
not
clustered,
for
example,
in
one
particular
District
or
another,
and
we'll
discuss
this
at
the
study
session.
But
our
analysis,
the
way
that
we
identified
sites
that
was
one
of
the
criteria
was
that,
when
we're
looking
at
sites
that
are
suitable
for
low
lower
income,
which
is
pretty
much,
you
know
generally
close
to
Transit,
they
support
densities
over
30
dwelling
units
to
the
acre.
We
have
lots
of
sites
throughout
our
city.
They
don't
have
to
be
in
one
in
one
district,
and
so
we
did.
O
The
majority
of
our
sites
for
low-income
developments
are
in
high
or
highest
resource
or
moderate
resource
areas.
So
we
did
sort
of.
We
did
that
exercise
and
we
think
we've
met
that
requirement
from
hcd.
O
I
just
want
to
know
how
does
the
housing
element
addressing
the
needs,
for
you
know:
affordable
housing
for
students,
there's
just
been
so
many
students
at
San,
Jose,
State
city
colleges
that
have
dealt
with
housing
related
issues,
and
obviously
these
are
kids
that
you
know
want
to
do
something
good
with
their
life
and
I
really
want
to
make
sure
that
their
house,
so
I,
don't
know,
are
I,
don't
know
if
San
Jose
State,
you
know,
falls
under
some
other
District
or
if
those
needs
are
included
in
how
you're
looking
at
that
in
the
housing
element.
O
Yeah.
Thank
you.
That's
a
good
point
and
a
good
question.
I,
don't
believe
students
are
considered
a
one
of
those
protected
classes
or
special
populations.
We
do
have
to
do
analysis,
for
example,
for
persons
with
disabilities
for
I,
think
large
families
and
and
other
groups,
but
I,
don't
think
students
fall
under
that
I
mean
San
Jose
State.
If
they
want
to
build
housing
within
their
their
property
and
within
their
the
boundaries
of
their
school,
they
typically
I
think
go
through
the
state
architectural
office,
and
they
don't
come
to
us
for
permits.
O
They
don't
have
to.
But
I
would
say
you
know,
I
think
most
of
the
sites
in
our
inventory
yeah.
The
majority
of
them
are
within
growth
areas,
so
Downtown
North,
San,
Jose
Urban
Villages,
and
they
can
help
facilitate
higher
density
housing.
So
that's
what
we're
essentially
planning
for
is
more
of
not
less
single-family
homes
and
more
apartments
and
I
would
assume
like
those
that's
what
would
be
affordable
for
for
the
students
but
they're.
We
don't
have
any
strategies
specifically
for
students
in
in
the
inventory
in
the
in
the
housing
element.
O
Yeah
I
mean
it
would
be
nice
to
have.
Some
I've
also
know
that
City
College
is
both
have
had
a
hard
time
retaining
faculty
because
of
the
high
cost
of
housing
and
unfortunately,
sometimes
these
people
have
to
come
from
far
away.
O
So
it's
not
just
the
downtown
San
Jose
but
I.
Think,
looking
into
other
city
colleges
like
Evergreen,
like
maybe
areas
around
San,
Jose,
City
College,
and
really
trying
to
create
more
higher
density
there
for
faculty
and
for
students
because
I
know.
Typically,
you
know
the
first
year.
Students
typically
live
on
campus,
but
after
that
you
know
they
want
to
venture
off
on
their
own
and
get
apartments
or
whatnot.
But
but
that
would
be
nice
to
include.
F
I
just
wanted
to
answer
like
it's
really
hard
for
the
department
overall
to
because
of
fair
housing
to
say
one
type
of
housing
over
another.
What
the
city
has
done
is
in
a
couple
years
ago
they
passed
a
cold
living
ordinance
which
allowed
a
certain
type
of
development.
That's
a
more
dormitory
and
like
to
give
them
certain
requirements
that
you
know
typical
or
to
get
them
out
of
certain
requirements
that
other
regular
typical
unit
developments
have
to
do
so.
I
would
say:
that's
one
way.
F
The
city
is
approached
just
kind
of
facilitate
that
development
and
when
we
look
at
projects
near
University-
and
they
say
well,
the
reason
is
designed
this
way
is
to
accommodate
this
specific
demographics.
There's
been
a
little
bit
of
a
leeway
in
that
aspect,
so
I
would
say
that's
one
way
that
we've
been
able
to
do
within
the
confines
of
not
treating
one
housing
differently
than
another.
L
F
Can
we
get
to
the
next
slide
so
good
afternoon
or
evening,
so
my
name
is
John
two
acting
division
manager,
I
supervise
the
development
review
team
I'm,
also
going
to
have
David
Keon
to
go
over
some
of
the
SQL
aspects
of
our
zoning
and
land
use
so
quickly
we're
going
to
go
over
some
development
review
process
and
other
and
other
items,
but
I
wanted
to
kind
of
address
on
the
comments
or
questions
you
guys
had
sent
to
us
about
specific
topic,
but
I'm
mainly
going
to
be
talking
about
the
application
types
and
how
we
process
them
and
their.
F
F
What
this
slide
is
attempting
to
do
is
summarize
over
a
hundred
pages
of
the
zoning
ordinance
into
a
flow
chart.
The
left
side
boxes
are
the
different
application
types.
The
middle
sections
are
the
initial
hearing,
Bodies
In.
The
far
right
are
the
appeal
bodies
in
general,
from
top
to
bottom
you're,
going
from
projects
that
have
less
Discretions
projects
with
more
discretion.
The
project
with
more
discretion,
usually
is
a
higher
level
hearing
body.
The
problem
is
good,
less
Discretions
are
usually
over-the-counter
permits
or
ministerial.
F
F
F
Overall,
we
look
for
the
same
level
of
details.
The
same
kind
of
elevations
design
requirements
they
just
confined
to
a
different
set
of
rules
based
on
meeting
certain
requirements
by
the
state
concessions
and
other
aspects
in
general
staff,
the
director
of
planning
delegates
their
authority
to
staff
for
themselves
to
approve
or
deny
these
types
of
projects.
F
These
decisions
are
usually
not
appealable
but
in
certain
limited
cases,
such
as
administrative
permits,
if
staff
denies
an
administrative
permit,
they
can
appeal
to
the
director's
hearing
the
next
level
of
permits
requiring
a
director
hearing
which
occurs
every
Wednesday
morning.
Typically,
these
permits
are
more
straightforward:
land
uses
for
new
construction
or
in
the
case
of
PD
zoning,
to
effectuate
with
the
PD
permit.
F
F
Usually
these
are
the
uses
that
require
additional
Discretions,
such
as
off
sale,
late
night
uses
utility
facilities.
However,
the
commission
is
more
likely
to
see
projects
taken
to
them
for
recommendation
to
city
council
and
finally,
there's
very
limited
land
uses
that
go
straight
to
city
council.
The
prime
and
commission
obviously
sees
more
than
conditional
use
permit.
This
is
because
of
concurrent
review
when
applications
submit
multiple
applications.
Ordinance
allows
them
to
have
combine
all
the
audience
all
the
applications
together
to
go,
and
what
happens
is
whatever
is
the
highest
level
of
review
in
the
process.
F
It
has
to
go
to
every
other
time.
It
goes
along
with
it,
and
this
is
why
you
guys
see
things
such
as
site
development,
tentative
Maps,
site
development
permits
instead
of
those
going
to
the
hearing
body.
Additionally,
any
project
that
includes
an
environmental
impact
report
that
includes
a
new
significant
impact
requires
a
Planning
Commission
hearing
for
a
recommendation
of
the
city
council.
F
So
that's
kind
of
why
you
have
one
designated
specific
permit
to
you,
but
you
guys
have
a
see
a
lot
of
different
land
use
permits
that
come
through.
You
is
because
of
that
process
see
next
slide.
F
Our
office
of
Economic
Development
has
a
website
that
goes
into
detail,
that's
very
specific
to
the
city
of
San
Jose,
as
well
as
there's
other
city
council
study
sessions
that
talk
about
the
current
state
of
private
development,
so
keep
in
mind
and
over
simplification,
the
process,
each
applicant,
each
site,
each
developer
may
have
a
slightly
different
model
or
financing
process.
F
So
what
we've
learned
is
that
an
applicant
will
often
break
down
the
cost
of
development
into
four
areas:
the
acquisition
which
is
the
acquiring
of
the
land
or
the
buildings,
the
hard
costs.
So
these
are
the
things
people
usually
think
of
materials,
labor
the
actual
construction
of
the
building,
the
soft
costs,
which
is
legal,
professional
fees,
Insurance
development
fees.
This
is
actually
the
process.
F
We
are
part
of
the
soft
costs
when
we
view
the
projects
and
our
application
fees
and
other
aspect
and
the
cost
of
conversion
a
little
hard
to
explain,
but
it's
kind
of
like
the
changing
the
titles
of
the
hands,
the
reserves
for
the
building
and
future
construction
other
aspects,
so
it's
actually
kind
of
facilitating
the
project
along.
F
When
you
take
all
these
into
account,
when
the
the
applicants
and
the
developers
they
look
at
all
these
classes
and
they're
always
stagnant,
so
the
cost
of
construction
goes
up
really
high
or
soft
costs
goes
up.
Certain
aspects
means
that
they
can
only
pay
so
much
for
a
land,
so
it
always
play
into
a
different
factor
of
how
much
they
can
afford
for
each
each
aspect.
F
Often
they'll
eventually
start
off
with
a
project
thinking
they
financed
a
one-way
and
as
the
market
changes
later,
they
totally
think
the
project
does
not
pencil
out
so
often
in
some
cases
that
some
of
the
commissions
pointed
out
before
we've
entitled
projects
and
they
just
haven't
gotten
constructed
or
they've,
been
modified
future
stages.
So
all
these
play
a
role
in
eventually
getting
something
constructed.
F
So
what
after
they
get
entitled
fraud
from
us,
the
project
goes
through
the
entire
process.
They
finish
their
financing
process
and
figures.
How
they're
going
to
pay
for
the
project?
Then
they
move
on
to
getting
their
actual
permits
for
construction.
So
this
includes
a
predominantly
Building
Department
Public
Works
departments.
This
is
when
they
had
to
pay
their
impact
fees.
This
is
when
they
have
to
get.
You
know
things
that
are
more
important
towards
the
construction.
F
When
construction
drawings
are
drawn,
such
as
getting
their
determination,
no
hazard
from
the
FAA
and
all
those
other
things,
then
you
construct
the
building.
Sometimes
they
have
an
occupied
in
mind.
Sometimes
they
do
not.
So
now
you
have
to
decide
how
you're
going
to
occupy
the
building
and
complete
the
deal
that
way.
So
this
is
my
best
oversimplification
of
the
process.
I'm
happy
to
try
to
take
questions
later
about
that,
but
in
general
our
role
is
more
on
the
soft
cost
and
the
other
aspects
is
controlled
by
the
developers,
the
markets
and
other
aspects.
F
F
So
one
of
the
questions
that
was
asked
was
like
what
is
the
role
of
the
Planning
Commission.
The
role
of
the
commission
is
is
spelled
out
in
the
city's
Charter.
The
Planning
Commission
is
largely
The
Advisory
body
to
the
city
council,
on
land
uses
and
the
appealing
body
for
the
directors
hearing
permits
and
initial
decision
makers
for
conditional
use
permits
staff
conducts
the
day-to-day
work
for
intake
review.
Outreach,
coordinate
various
departments
to
ultimately
shape
the
project
to
be
consistent
with
our
various
different
policies,
ordinances,
city,
state
laws
and
general
plan.
F
F
You
as
a
public
hearing
body,
can
agree
or
disagree
with
our
analysis,
based
on
your
professional
experience
or
based
on
public
comments.
However,
when
making
your
decision
to
approve
or
deny
a
project
or
make
a
recommendation,
there
should
be
some
kind
of
justification
of
the
decision
which
the
confine
which
is
confined
to
us,
whether
or
not
it
meets
the
findings
of
consistencies
or
inconsistencies
to
those
policies.
This
ensures
a
fair
and
transparent
process
for
project
review.
G
G
One
of
the
questions
was
about
what
are
the
typical
common
environmental
impacts
of
development
in
San,
Jose
and
so
just
wanted
to
provide
a
quick
overview,
and
since
this
is
something
you
see
day
in
day
out
and
eirs
and
initial
studies
that
come
before
your
commission,
the
typical
most
of
our
projects
in
San
Jose
our
Urban
info
projects-
this
is
probably
at
least
80
plus
of
the
projects
that
we
deal
with,
because
most
development
is
within
the
urbanized
area,
already
disturbed
land
in
areas
like
downtown
and
priority
growth
areas
like
Urban,
Villages
and
industrial
areas.
G
You
know
it's
very,
very
little.
Greenfield
development,
meaning
development
in
areas
that
have
not
been
Disturbed
yet
so
the
most
of
our
environmental
impacts
in
San
Jose
fall
into
the
category
of
construction
impacts.
This
includes
impacts
to
nesting
migratory
Birds.
This
also
includes
construction,
air
quality.
This
is
mainly
due
to
dust
health
risk
impacts
from
the
operation
of
construction
equipment
such
as
those
using
diesel
fuel.
Also,
common
impacts
are
related
to
archeology
and
tribal
cultural
resources.
This
is
due
to
the
fact
that
a
lot
of
the
city
is
archaeologically
sensitive,
also,
construction,
noise.
G
You
know
due
to
the
operation,
equipment
and
all
also
vibration
from
the
operation
of
the
equipment,
particularly
on
adjacent
structures,
including
historic
structures.
Also
soil
and
groundwater
contamination
is
often
an
impact
from
development,
especially
those
involving
excavation.
This
is
very
common
because
most
of
the
valley
was
a
prior
agricultural
use,
so
you
have
potential
residual
contamination
on
the
site
that
would
need
to
be
addressed
in
future
development,
and
so
you
know
all
these,
you
see
fairly
standard
mitigation
measures
in
order
to
reduce
them
less
insignificant,
and
these
are
fairly
common
for
projects
throughout
the
city.
G
In
addition,
other
infill
projects
due
to
the
design,
characteristics,
characteristics
or
locations
sometimes
have
unique
impacts.
The
most
common
one
that
you
are
going
to
have
seen
and
are
going
to
be
seen
in
the
next
few
months
are
are
projects
that
are
impacting
historic
resources,
either
the
speed
impacts
to
the
city,
Landmark,
District,
or
demolition
of
a
of
a
sitting
Landmark.
You
know
those
are
unique
impacts
and
those
are
required
to
do
additional
mitigation,
or
even
in
many
cases,
that
you
have
seen
recently
where
they
cannot
reduce
that
impact.
G
Another
common
impact,
especially
in
areas
further
out
from
the
downtown
area,
is
that
the
project
May
identify
a
vehicle
miles,
traveled
impact
because
the
vehicle
mounts
travel
from
the
project
will
be
exceed
the
thresholds
in
our
city,
council
policy,
5-1
and
even
with
mitigation.
In
some
cases,
they
cannot
be
reduced
unless
insignificant,
though,
which
should
also
require
an
eir
and
actually
Ramses
is
about
to
talk
about
that
shortly
about
our
updates
to
that
policy.
G
Also,
there
is
even
an
infill
projects.
There
are
sensitive
habitats
that
could
be
impacted,
particularly
riparian
quarters.
A
recent
examples.
Last
year
there
was
the
impact
to
the
riparian
corridor
along
the
Guadalupe
River
in
downtown
from
a
major
high-rise
office
project.
There's
also
a
more
recent
example
than
that
is
the
albizo
hotel
project
that
was
adjacent
to
the
Guadalupe
River
and
near
wetlands.
G
In
addition,
there's
potential
impacts
of
serpentine
soil
and
growing
owl
habitat
this.
These
are
less
common,
but
they
do
occur,
especially
in
areas
that
are
adjacent
to
sensitive
habitat
non-urban
info
projects,
which
we
don't
have
a
huge
amount
of,
but
they
do
exist,
especially.
You
know
smaller
projects
outside
the
urban
Services
line,
but
they
do
have
impacts
that
could
be
more
more
significant,
especially
with
regards
to
sensitive
habitat.
G
Also
because
these
projects
outside
the
urban
Services
line
are
further
away
from
transit
and
further
away
from
the
concentration
of
development,
they
may
have
higher
vehicle
miles,
traveled,
meaning
they
would
have
this
vehicle.
That
was
traveling
impact,
and
also
many
projects
further
out
could
have
greenhouse
gas
emissions
impacts
or
geologic
hazards
impacts,
among
others,
there's,
depending
on
the
type
of
project.
You
know
there
may
be
even
more
more
types
of
projects,
more
types
of
impacts,
but
overall
in
San,
Jose
I,
would
say
80
to
90
percent
of
the
types
of
impacts
that
we
identify.
G
G
What
really,
as
the
commission
as
you're,
making
recommendations
on
the
adequacy
of
the
environmental
document
and
the
project,
the
first
place
to
start
recommend
is
for
environmental
impact.
Reports
is
the
summary
which
is
in
the
very
beginning
of
the
eir.
This
includes
impacts,
mitigation,
Alternatives
and
addition
reviewing
the
project
description
say.
The
project
description
for
SQL
can
be
a
good
place
to
start
to
also
understand
the
entirety
of
the
project,
because
the
entirety
of
the
project
has
to
be
described
in
order
to
adequately
analyze.
G
Also,
you
just
want
to
mention
so
this
Planning
Commission
is
included
when
these
documents
are
posted
to
the
internet,
we
send
a
link
to
the
Planning
Commission,
so
this
could
be
six
months
or
more
before
the
item
actually
comes
before
the
commission.
However,
the
commission
is
notified.
So
if
you're
interested,
you
see
an
eir
notification
or
ISM
and
D
notifications
that
matter
come
out,
you
could
take
a
look
at
it.
You
know
this
is,
you
know,
is
a
good
idea
of
the
project
that
is
likely
to
be
coming
before
you
at
a
future
date.
G
I
also
recommend,
looking
at
what,
for
eirs
is
called
the
First
Amendment
and
for
ismids
is
called
the
response
to
comments.
This
is
a
good
place
to
look.
You
know
so.
The
first
amendment
is
how
the
city,
when
we
see
public
comments
during
public
circulation,
the
city
responds
to
those
comments
and
includes
any
text
edits
in
response
to
those
comments.
G
So
the
First
Amendment
for
an
eir
is
a
good
place
to
look
to
kind
of
see
what
the
controversies
are
and
the
city's
response
to
those
concerns.
It
will
be
something
that
you
know
if
it's
going
to
be
coming
before
the
Planning
Commission
it'd
be
a
good
idea
to
take
a
look
at
that
to
have
an
idea
of
potential
issues
that
will
be
raised
in
addition
for
especially
for
eirs,
this
is
a
important.
G
The
draft
resolution
and
the
mitigation
monitor
reporting
program
known
as
the
mmrp,
those
are
included
in
the
Planning
Commission
packet
that
is
sent
prior
to
the
hearing.
This
is
a
good
place
to
look
to
get
a
like,
basically
an
overview
of
the
entirety
of
the
eir.
In
one
document
you
know,
because
it
includes
impacts,
mitigation
measures
and
findings,
and
in
particular,
as
John
was
alluding
to
earlier.
The
Planning
Commission
is
has
to
make
a
recommendation
on
projects
that
have
a
significant
unavoidable
impact.
G
It
has
to
make
a
recommendation
to
the
city
console
if
there's
a
significant
unavoidable
impact,
a
statement.
Overwriting
considerations
must
be
made
pursuant
to
sequa
that
statement
of
what
we're
writing
considerations
includes
includes
factors
that
are
taken
into
consideration
as
to
why,
despite
the
fact
that
identity,
significant
avoidable
impacts
have
been
identified,
there's
other
benefits
of
the
project.
This
is
a
good
place.
You
know
to
a
good
place
to
review
prior
to
the
meeting,
because
this
is
part
of
the
key
function
of
the
Planning
Commission
to
make
a
recommendation
to
city
council.
G
It
is
typically
towards
the
end
of
the
resolution.
So
when
you
look
you
go
through
the
resolution,
you
go
towards
the
end.
It'll
be
one
of
the
last
sections:
initial
studies
for
mitigating
negative
declarations,
negative
declarations
and
addendums
such
as
a
dentist's
downtown
strategy.
Those
are
some
more
to
eirs,
but
they're.
More
there's,
you
know,
there's
there's
less
sections
in
terms
of
we
don't,
for
example,
there's
no
Alternatives
in
initial
studies
for
nnds
and
NDS.
G
However,
there's
still
information,
that's
available
for
the
commission
reports
in
place
to
review
would
be
the
project
description
and
also
the
that
for
the
Mad
Or
ND.
There's
the
sign
cover
page
that
would
include
if
it's
an
m
d,
mitigating
negative
declaration
would
include
impacts
and
mitigation
measures.
So
it's
a
good
idea
to
get
an
overview
of
what
the
impacts
and
mitigation
measures
are.
G
In
addition,
if
there's
been
public
comments
on
the
initial
study,
that
would
also
be
posted
to
the
website,
and
this
includes
the
responses,
so
it
would
be
a
good
way
to
have
a
review
of
what
the
controversies
are
and
how
the
cities
respond
to
it.
In
addition,
I
also
mentioned
you
know:
if
there's
mitigation
measures,
there's
also
there's
still
the
requirement
for
an
mmrp,
and
this
is
a
good
place
to
also
redo
the
summarize
the
impacts
and
mitigation
measures
which
should
be
included
in
the
PC
packet.
O
David
I
know
be
quick
just
because
we're
seeing
so
many
high
rises,
of
course,
in
the
downtown
area
you
know
noise
pollution,
with
the
planes
being
so
close
and
working
with
the
airport
land
use.
Commission
would
be
great
to
get
advice
on
that,
but
the
traffic
impacts
and
pedestrian
safety
is
really
critical,
just
because
I've
seen
so
many
pedestrians
fatalities.
O
M
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
David.
My
question
has
to
do
with
large
Warehouse
projects,
fulfillment
centers
of
which,
looking
at
the
IRS,
we
have
several
of
those
coming
before
us,
and
my
concern
on
these
is
the
impact
of
diesel
truck
exhausts
that
are
idling
at
the
facility
during
operations
and
I
actually
contacted
a
couple
of
planners
on
this
and
I
I.
M
Think
it's
interesting
that
we
have
requirements
during
construction
of
how
long
the
construction
equipment
can
idle,
but
we
don't
have
anything
for
the
actual
operations,
and
you
know
diesel
exhaust
is
very
toxic
and
can
definitely
impact
the
folks
that
work
at
these
facilities
as
well
as
neighbors.
So
my
question
is:
is:
is
it
possible
for
staff
to
reach
out
to
other
agents?
Other
agencies
that
are
getting
these
fulfillment
centers
I
know
Southern.
G
Thank
you
for
the
question
one
one
thing
that
we
have
been
working
if
the
Bay
Area
Air
Quality,
Management
District
on,
is
how
to
address
things
like
distribution,
centers
and
impacts
of
that
I
know.
There's
been,
we've
been
working
with
back
mid
as
the
barrier
Quality
Management
District
on
conditions
and
mitigation
for
for
truck
I
mean
truck
diesel.
Particular
matter
is
one
of
the
key
concerns,
especially
regarding
to
idling
and
also
routes
to
and
from
the
Distribution
Center
if
they
go
through
areas
where
there's
residential
concentrations.
G
G
D
D
S
All
right,
hey
everybody,
Ramesses,
madou
division,
manager
of
planning
policy
and
sustainability
for
the
Department
of
Transportation
Jessica
zank
is
not
joining
us
today.
I
am
filling
in
for
our
both
of
us
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
the
current
vehicle
miles
travel
policy.
Let's
share
my
screen
here.
Oh,
let's
see
oh
David,
can
you
stop
sharing
your
screen?
Jennifer.
P
R
S
S
Be
talking
about
the
vehicle
miles
travel
policy
now
I'm,
not
talking
about
the
totality
of
the
Council
policy
5-1,
which
is
our
transportation
analysis
policy
I'm
going
to
touch
on
that
lightly
at
the
higher
level
for
a
second
and
then
we're
going
to
dive
into
the
current
vehicle
miles,
travel
piece,
which
is
a
portion
of
the
sequel
rules
following
on
David's
presentation.
So.
S
How
the
city
deals
with
traffic
or
Transportation
impacts
from
new
projects
is
dealt
as
processed
through
Council
policy.
5-1
Council
files,
Council
policy
5s1-
has
two
portions
to
it.
One
is
the
Local
transportation
analysis
piece
now.
I
just
heard
a
comment
there
about
downtown
high-rises
and
Transportation.
P
S
Issues
which
is
kind
of
the
core
of
What
DOT,
really
thinking
about
now.
How
do
we
make
those
things
better
now,
a
lot
of
that
those
things
are
not
SQL
mitigations.
They
are
in
fact
General
plan
policy
based
Improvement
requests
that
come
through
the
Local
transportation
analysis
for
projects.
Now,
some
of
these
safety
projects
and
other
things.
R
S
L
S
Project
affect
its
immediate
environments
and
what
kinds
of
demands
will
it
put
on
that
right?
What
kinds
of
needs
is
it
needing
for
pedestrian,
Crossings
and
bicycle
needs
and
stuff
like
that?
But
today
we're
really
going
to
focus
on
the
vehicle
miles,
traveled
portion
of
the
policy
and,
let's
see
if
I,
can
get
these
slides
to
move
ahead.
There
we
go.
Oh
they're,
animated
I
didn't
realize
that
all
right,
so
we're
talking
about
for.
C
S
Second,
why
VMT?
What
is
VMT
VMT
is
a
vehicle
miles,
traveled
of
course,
and
then
talk
a
little
bit
about
implementation
all
right.
So
where
does
Yoko
miles
traveled
if
EMT
come
from
well,
some
time
ago
the
state
senate
passed
SB,
743,
SP
743
extol
the
whole
state
to
promote
infill
development,
particularly
near
Transit,
wanted
to
focus
Transportation
impacts
coming
out
of
of
SQL
process
on
a
more
Regional
perspective,
understanding
that
Transportation
demand
and
transportation
in
general
is
not
a
localized
piece
right.
S
Also,
it
required
the
removal
of
level
of
service
from
SQL
review.
We're
going
to
talk
about
what
level
of
surfaces
versus
vehicle
miles
traveled
in
a
second
here.
So.
R
S
Are
no
longer
allowed
to
measure
that
under
a
C4
review
I
mean
then
it
recommended
vehicle
miles,
traveled
in
transportation,
analysis
under
sequel.
Now,
since
then,
the
opr
the
office
of
planning
and
research,
which
is
the
body
in
the
state
that
interprets
and
gives
guidelines
to
cities
out
of
rules
like
this,
has
put
out
much
guidance
that
pushes
forward
how
this
bill
will
be
interpreted
and
basically
cemented
vehicle
miles
traveled
as
the
way
to
move
forward
out
of
this
bill.
Now,.
E
E
S
This
actually
really
jive
with
our
own
policies
right.
So
our
own
General
plan
really
saw
this
vehicle
miles,
traveled
change
as
supporting
a
great
deal
of
what
we
were
trying
to
do,
anyways
and
as
such,
we
actually
became
the
fourth
city
in
the
state
to
adopt
the
vehicle
miles.
Traveled
metric
for
our
SQL
review.
S
Well
before
most
other
cities
in
the
state-
and
here
are
some
of
the
the
elements
of
the
general
plan's
goals
that
we
see
this,
this
policy
supporting
not
only
that,
but,
as
you
all
know,
we
have
a
climate,
smart
plan
and
vehicle
miles.
Traveled
reduction
is
a.
S
Portion
of
the
needs
or
the
the
strategies
we
see
as
trying
to
meet
our
climate
impact
goals,
so
you
know
getting
people.
S
Huge
one
but
then
reducing
the
actual
use
of
private
Vehicles
is
another
one
all
right.
So,
let's
start
off
with
what
was
there
before
so
a
lot
of
times.
You'll
hear
this,
you
know
we
measured
things
through
loss
and
those
of
you
who
have
been
around
for
a
long
time.
You
know
what
this
is:
a
level
of
service
measures,
how
much
congestion
there
is
for
cars
that
signalize.
S
Basically,
how
long
are
you
going
to
wait
at
an
intersection
to
get
through
and
there's
a
rating
of
a
through
F
on
this,
and
it
focuses
merely
on
how
long
Vehicles
will
wait
at
an
intersection,
and
this
was
the
primary
metric
for
the
transportation
system
for
a
very
long
time
until
this
DMT
changed
okay
man,
so
then
vehicle
miles
traveled
when
vehicle
miles
travel
does
is
measure
how
how
far
people
will
typically
travel
by
vehicle
related
to
a
a
a
project
and
I
should
also
put
there
and
how
often
right,
because
it's
both
how
many
trips
will
be
taken
and
then
how
how
average?
R
S
Areas
where
people
can
walk
to
more
of
their
services
or.
L
S
Basically,
when
you
can
get
around
quickly,
no
matter
what
mode
your
VMT
is
getting
lower,
then
the
more
we
can
make
those
trips
outside.
L
S
Vehicles,
the
the
easier
it
is
for
that
High
VMT
project
projects
and
areas
are
just.
S
R
G
S
Kind
of
look
like
in
the
real
world
right
certain
places
downtown
can
get
an
loss.
R
S
And
really
see
the
VMT
value
as
a
and
you
can
see
here
we
have
this
very
old
picture
here.
Looking
down,
Santa
Clara
Street
near
actually
the
same
intersection
that
you
probably
recognize
from
the
first
picture,
where
you
have
basically
the
reverse
of
these
kinds
of
measurements.
S
The
picture,
but
it's
kind
of
this
measurement
change
fundamentally
Alters
the
way
that
we
see
transportation
from
a
sequel
perspective.
The
primary
point
now
is
to
create
or
to
reduce
emissions,
one
two
to
create
vibrant
environments,
where
people
are
more.
S
S
Across
the
city
now
there
are
two
basic
measurements
of
vehicle
miles:
traveled
one
is
per
job
and
one
is
per
resident
or
per
capita
the
projects,
commercial
projects,
office
projects-
things
like
that
come
in
through,
of
course,
VMT
per
job,
and
you
can
see
here
how
this
plays
out
across
the
city.
S
Now
this
map
is
colored
to
the
to
the
way
that
the
policy
is
enacted.
So
green
means
that
the
those
are
threshold
areas,
meaning
the
places
within
there
are-
can.
S
S
Traveled
impact
yellow
is
right
at
the
regional
average,
and
the
way
that
this
rule
is
set
up
is
generally
projects
need
to
address
those
EMT
impacts
by
reducing
to
15
below
the
regional
average
right,
and
so
this
is
the
state's
attempt
to
slowly
move
the
ball
in
the
correct
direction
of
producing
this
orange
is
we
have
research
based,
I,
wouldn't
say
certainty,
but
but
support
to
say
that
we
can
mitigate
VMT
in
those
orange
areas
and
red
are
places
where,
unless
you
do
do
something
very
drastic,
it's
going
to
be
very
hard
for
projects
to
mitigate
their
BMT.
S
What's
interesting
in
these
maps,
for
those
of
you
who
who
have
been
in
this
world
for
a
long
time
is,
you
can
really
see
the
jobs,
housing
and
balance
of
this
map
right,
North,
San,
Jose,
where
you
have
a
lot
of
jobs
and
not
very
much.
F
S
The
jobs
map
here
shows
an
in
a
mitigable
area
for
for
commercial
sites.
Now.
S
See
how
this
flips
now
housing
in
in
San
Jose
actually
has
quite
a
bit
more
area
that
meets
the
thresholds.
Again,
you.
P
R
C
S
All
right
now
there
are
three
pathways
through
this
policy
now
again
putting
our
mind
in
the
white
context.
This
rule
is
a
portion
of
our
SQL
process
right
only
one
there's
still
historic
needs,
there's
still
all
of
the
other
portions
of
siqua.
That
David
was
just
talking
about
so
just
in.
S
Segment
of
sequel,
there
are
three
different
ways
to
get
through
this
one:
are
projects
not
required
to
evaluate?
Basically,
these
are
projects
with
some
minimal
review
can
be
said
to
to
be
assumed
not
to
have
a
vehicle
miles
travel
impact.
Sometimes
this
is
called
screening.
That's
the
word.
The
state
users
around
this
and
I'm
gonna
add
just
a
little
more
context.
Hopefully
not
making
it
too
complicated.
S
Here
is
that
these
are
our
current
requirements
and,
as
many
of
you
probably
know,
we
there
are
some
changes
to
this
policy
being
discussed.
I
believe
it's
your
next
general
meeting,
we're
hoping
this
gives
you
some
good
context
to
understand
that
conversation
right.
So
these
are
the
again
the
ways,
the
kinds
of
projects
that
don't
have
to
evaluate
VMT.
S
The
easy
one
to
understand,
of
course,
is
small
infill
projects,
also
local,
serving
retail
right
generally,
if
you
put
a
new,
Safeway
or
7-Eleven,
or
anything
like
that
within
a
neighborhood
that
usually
draws
people
closer
or
yeah,
into
closer
retail
away
from
the
farther
away
retail
that
they
used
to
have
to
go
to
in
the
interest
of
time,
I'm
just
going
to
keep
moving.
S
But
basically
we
have
those
kind
of
definitional
projects
there,
and
then
you
have
projects
within
special
areas,
particularly
planned
growth,
areas
that
are
near
high
quality
Transit
and
the
current
rules.
S
The
second,
the
second
way
through
this
policy
are
those
that
do.
N
S
To
evaluate
their
VMT
and
can
mitigate
right
and
so
projects
to
to
understand
this
and
to
kind
of
understand
the
valuation
of
BMT
is
basically
thresholds
of
significance
right.
A
project
gets
from
those
Maps
I
showed
you.
It
gets
a
number
from
there.
How
much
is
vehicle
miles?
Travel
is
associated
with
its
site
and
there's
a
calculator.
S
We
have
that
I'll
show
you
in
a
second
that
projects
can
use
to
then
understand,
not
only
their
area
vehicle
miles
traveled,
but
then
how
their
project
affects
vehicle
miles
traveled
and
then
understand
what
they
might
need
to
do
to
mitigate
it.
So
again,
if
you
look
back
at
those
Maps
which
I'll
show
you
in
a
second
again,
anything,
that's
not
in
those
kind
of
salmon.
S
Colored
areas
can
mitigate
for
our
understanding
and
they
can
drive
that
down
now
for
residential
and
employment
uses
the
direction
from
the
state
and
and
the
the
basic
threshold
that
we
adopted
is
to
get
15
below
baseline
or
the
regional
average.
S
S
Then
there's
this
last
group
of
projects,
projects
that
can't
fully
mitigate
their
VMT
right.
So
these
are
projects
that
need
that
statement
of
overriding
consideration
right
that
that
David
was
just
talking
about
now.
L
S
Now,
projects
that
want
to
get
a
statement
of
overriding
considerations-
these
are
the
conditions
under
which
they
might
of
a
the
city
council
would
consider
such
a.
H
S
And
these
are
written
in
the
general
plan
all
right,
so
they
can't
be
General
plan
amendments.
All
projects
must
reduce
so
mitigating
EMT
at
a
full
extent,
and
this
is
very
important
right.
So
the
projects,
even
if
they're,
getting
that
overriding
consideration,
would
still
have
to
do
as
much
as
they
possibly
can
to
address
their
environmental
impacts.
S
And
after
that
there
are
overwriting
benefits,
including
a
a
cost
calculated
based
on
how
much
vehicle
miles
traveled.
They
were
not
able
to
mitigate,
and
there
is
a
100,
affordable.
R
S
Now
I
have
slides
that
go
through
buckets
more
deep
in
the
buckets,
but
I
was
going
to
wait
and
see
if
you
guys
have
questions
on
that.
The
way
that
our
VNT
mitigations
are
structured
are
into
four
different
buckets.
So
what
we
did
is
we
built
out
the
policy
5-1
is:
do
a
deep
research
project
to
really
figure
out.
S
What
are
the
types
of
mitigations
that
have
justifiable
research
behind
it,
so
that
we
know
that
when
we
are
saying
that
these
mitigations
have
effect
that
that's
coming
from
either
academic
or
otherwise
notable
research
and
all
of
that
research,
just
noted
in
our
in
our
in
our
Communications.
C
S
I'll
show
you
here
in
a
second,
so
there's
four
buckets,
one
are
project-based
elements
and
that's
actually
density
location.
Some
of
these
elements
that
are
actually
part
of
a
a
land
use
definition
the.
S
Your
VMT
by
things
like
adding
adding
bike
lanes
and
increasing
walkability
within
your
neighborhood
things
like
that,
of
course,
there's
parking
parking
is
shown
to
be
one
of
the
most
impactful
and
meaningful
actions
that
projects
can
take
to
reduce
their
vehicle
miles.
Traveled,
basically
not
creating
an
easy
way
for
cars
to
get
in
and
stay
there
for
free
is,
has
been
shown
over
and
over
again
to
be
one
of
the
ways
that
vehicle
miles
travel
can
be.
B
S
And
then,
of
course,
TDM
or
Transportation
demand
management.
These
are
programmatic,
approaches
that
that
fund
focuses
ability
to
to
not
use
a
private
automobile.
So
this
is
things
like
Transit
passes
showers
in
the
building
for
people
who
take
their
bikes,
ensuring
that
there's
adequate
facilities
for
people
using
their
bikes
like
fix
it
stations
or
well
well-appointed,
bike
lockers,
and
things
like
that
now.
S
S
Actually,
being
copied
by
quite
a
lot
of
other
areas
in.
S
Sorry,
it's
being
becoming
the
standard
across
the
county.
What
we
did
is,
as
we
created
a
calculator
that
holds
basically
those
Maps.
We
showed
you
every
single
parcel
has
its
own
vehicle
miles,
traveled
number
and
then
projects.
S
Can
see
here,
land
use
type
on
the
left
they
could
put
in
their
what
kind
of
project
they're
they're
going
to
be
building
based
on
these
factors
of
dwelling
units
and
how
much
affordable
office
space
or
retail
square
footage.
Things
like
that
and.
S
Champions
developers,
quick
readouts,
saying
here
you
know,
for
residential
projects
or
employment
projects.
These
are
the
numbers
existing
VMT,
meaning.
If
you're
looking
at
the
charts
here
on
the
right,
you
have
the
orange
element.
S
S
And
tier
one,
two
and
three:
these
are
the
different
tiers
or
those
different.
It's
I
was
showing
you
of
mitigations
right,
so
tier
one
is
Project
characteristics,
so
you
can
kind
of
see
here
as
density,
increased
employment
or
residential
density,
employment
density.
Things
like
that
tier
two
is
that
multimodal.
S
We
were
just
talking
about
here
is
parking
again.
Tier
four.
Is
that
TDM
programming?
Excuse
me
right,
so
this
tool
is
actually
what
we
use.
S
To
help
us
understand
the
the
mitigations
and
the
project
characteristics
within
this
process,
let's
see
what
else
do
I
want
to
say
here?
What's.
S
This
is,
it
gives
developers
an
immediate
upfront
view
of
how
their
project
stands
within
this
within
this
SQL
category,
as
well
as
the
types
of
things
the
city
wants
them
to
do,
and
in
fact
the
the
readout
from
this
is
required
and
their
transportation
submission.
S
K
K
T
T
So
really
really
excited
about
this
policy.
Memo
that
is
going
to
come
to
the
Council
on
November
15th.
Think
it's
going
to
have
a
huge
impact
in
encouraging
folks,
like
Rachel,
vanderveen,
Michael,
Brio,
Etc,
that
when
they're
talking
with
developers
reviewing
projects
that
they're
saying
hey,
why
did
you
reduce
the
height
on
this
project?
T
So,
hopefully,
it'll
take
some
of
the
guesswork
some
of
the
challenges
and
facing
Community
opposition
and
development
and
put
that
back
on
an
emphasis
around
building
as
much
affordable
housing
as
quickly
as
we
can,
which
is
I,
know
a
priority
that
many
of
you
as
Commissioners
share.
So
great
progress.
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
with
you
in
case.
T
K
Thanks
Alex
I
think
commissioner
arnellis
wise
is
left
I
apologize
not
getting
to
her
question,
but
commissioner
Young.
M
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
Ramses.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation.
It
was
really
really
interesting
and
I
learned
a
lot.
The
question
I
had
is
you
had
two
colored
Maps
and
I
didn't
quite
understand
the
difference
between
the
first
one
and
the
second
one.
If
you
could
just
talk
about
that
briefly,
thank
you.
Yeah.
S
E
E
S
Is
for
employment
right
and
so
basically
the
way
that
this
rule
works.
Is
you
look
at
the
type
of
land
use?
It
is
and
then
the
the
threshold
a
project
needs
to
meet,
needs
to
be
15
below
the
the
regional
average
of
that
same
land
use
type
and
it's
broken
down
into
two
types
of
land
use
and
we
broke
it
into
one
one,
more
industrial.
Let
me
change
the
rules
a
little
bit
for
that
to
make
it
easier
so.
R
P
Mine
was
around
the
sequa
and
and
specifically
I'm
curious
about
impact
to
sensitive
environmental
areas,
places
that
might
be
watersheds
that,
for
example,
you
know
the
the
Giant.
P
Warehouse
might
cause
problems
with
groundwater
or
things
like
that
or
impact
Wildlife
corridors.
You
know
I
know
that
in
the
past
there's
been
some
consideration
about
that,
but
not
about
the
groundwater.
I,
don't
think
so.
I'm
just
curious
where,
where
you
land
on
that.
G
Yeah,
thank
you.
So
we
do
evaluate
changes
to
hydraulic
hydrology
and
the
reports.
However,
the
lot
of
the
impacts
on
groundwater-
you
know
it
gets
more
into
a
situation
where
you're
going
to
be
doing
Wells
digging,
Wells
and
how
that
could
affect
groundwater,
but
you
know
we
typically
I
mean
it's
a
part
of
there's
hydrology
section
that
would
be
evaluated,
but
we
don't
typically
find
major
groundwater
impacts
unless
you're
talking
about
groundwater
contamination,
that's
from
the
project.
Okay,.
R
G
In
that
case,
yeah,
there
are
very
specific
state
laws,
and
now
we
have
low
impact
design
requirements,
storm
water
requirements
that
are
very
stringent
in
getting
stricter
every
year
the
state
passes
more
strict
laws
and
the
requirements
for
filtration
for
storm
water
or
to
make
sure
those
those
contaminants
don't
not
seep
into
groundwater.
Because
of
these
laws,
we
often
find
situations
where
old,
parking
lots
that
ever
built
in
this
like
60s
or
70s.
You
know
the
new
development
comes
in.
G
The
new
development
now
has
to
meet
the
new
standards,
the
more
stringent
standards
and,
in
addition,
I
think
next
year,
the
size
of
projects
that
have
to
comply
with
these
more
stringent
stormwater
requirements
is
going
to
shrink,
so
even
more
projects
will
have
to
comply
at
least
when
they
redevelop.
Okay,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
it.
N
Yes,
perfect,
thank
you.
I
just
have
a
general
question
and
anyone
on
on
staff
can
it
can
help
me
process
this?
So
today
we
heard
a
lot
about
units
right,
a
lot
of
clarity,
especially
around
around
the
arena
goals
and
the
last
presentation,
especially
about
like
the
land,
use,
right
jobs
and
around
jobs
and
housing.
N
But
my
question
is
I
know
I
know
the
general
plan
has
has
a
push
towards
us,
not
being
a
bedroom
city
right.
You
know
like
bring
in
more
Revenue,
so
we
can
serve
provide
services
for
the
people
right.
So
how
does
how
does
the
arena
goals
that
push
us
to
meet
certain
housing
unit
I
like
benchmarks?
How
does
that
square
with
the
general
plan
that
tells
us
hey?
We
need
more
commercial
right.
We
need
to
bring
in
more
Revenue
in
order
to
provide
the
best
possible
environment
and
services
to
our
residents.
O
Go
so
for
one
you
know
with
this
with
Arena
numbers
and
Arena
goals
is
six
cycle.
We
we
think
it's
gonna
fall
within
the
the
limits.
I
guess
of
the
general
plan,
2040
growth,
so
it
shouldn't
go
beyond
what
we've
already
planned
for
2040,
but
I
think
you
know
it's
like
a
balancing
act.
We
we
want
to
also
support
the
commercial
uses
or
mixed
uses,
but
I
don't
think
it
necessarily
cancels
the
other
out.
However,
in
reality,
a
lot
of
our
a
lot
of
our
affordable
housing
projects.
O
Now
it's
a
lot
more
easier,
but
in
the
past
you
know
they
had
to
use
density,
bonus,
waivers
or
concessions
or
special
sort
of
ways
to
not
provide
for
that
commercial
on
the
ground
floor,
because
for
them
it
has
proved
to
be
more
costly
and
then
you
know
you
know
they
can
put
units
down
there.
They
can
put
services
on
the
ground
floor
versus
a
commercial,
so
I
think
it's
it's
kind
of
a
bouncing.
I
I
also,
don't
think
that
they
they
conflict
essentially.
F
I
think
one
of
the
intention
of
the
law.
Yes,
everyone
concentrates
on
just
looking
at
the
number,
but
it
was
overall
the
densification
of
the
city,
both
residential
and
Commercial,
as
we
build
higher
density,
it's
easier
to
provide
those
services
to
these
specific
facilities
instead
of
the
urban
sprawl.
