A
So
again,
thank
you
all
for
joining
us
here
on
this
Wednesday
evening.
We'll
go
ahead
and
jump
into
the
agenda,
starting
with
item
number
two
public
comment:
this
is
the
place
on
the
agenda
where
folks
can
speak
to
items
that
have
not
been
formally
agendized.
I
have
two
cards
in
front
of
me
and
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
call
both
of
these
folks
up
so
that
they
can
line
up.
A
I'll
have
two
minutes
and
I
want
to
remind
folks
that
we
absolutely
love
hearing
from
folks,
and
also
there
is
a
two-minute
rule
so
that
we
can
all
get
through
items
and
we're
fair
to
everybody,
so
do
be
respectful
of
the
two-minute
rule.
There
is
a
timer
at
the
at
the
microphone,
so
you
can
see
exactly
how
much
time
you
have
so
with
that.
The
two
folks
that
wanted
to
speak
under
the
public
comment
section
are
David
Palin,
oh
and
I
am
probably
mispronouncing
the
name
and
Tessa
Woodmansee.
C
Touch
anything
it's
good:
okay,
so
I
I'm,
a
small
business
owner
in
San
Jose
and
have
run
in
some
problems
with
the
urban
village
planning.
I'm,
not
sure
you
know
what
it
looks
like
as
it
originates
in
China,
and
it's
come
to
the
United
States.
We
come
to
our
area
anyway,
and
while
trying
to
rebuild
my
building,
I'm
told
that
they
want
15-foot
sidewalks
on
Almaden
expressway,
which
to
me
doesn't
make
any
sense.
C
First
of
all,
I'm
not
sure
what
sort
of
human
creature
is
gonna,
be
walking
on
those
15-foot
sidewalks
on
Almaden
expressway,
and
not
only
that.
How
is
it?
Okay
to
take
private
property
for
the
use
of
the
city?
I
mean
it
doesn't
make
sense
that
you
guys
want
a
thousand
square
feet
of
my
property
without
taking
it
through
eminent
domain,
without
equitable.
C
Compensation
you
just
want
me
to
build
you
a
sidewalk
that
is
absolutely
enormous,
and
it's
not
okay,
I,
don't
think
that's,
okay
under
any
circumstances!
So
that's
what
I
wanted
to
bring
up
today.
I
met
with
Councilwoman
Pam
Foley
about
this
going
nowhere
hitting
a
brick
wall
with
your
planning,
your
your
Public
Works
Department,
and
it's
just
brick
wall
after
brick
wall
and
it's
just
nonsense.
I
mean
15
foot,
sidewalks,
I,
I,
don't
think
I've
ever
seen
such
a
thing
anywhere.
A
D
D
That's
a
big
problem
that
they
need
to
put
it
in
the
mail
for
us
to
know
about
what's
happening
in
our
communities
and
they're
not
doing
that,
and
that
is
what
has
caused
us
to
really
have
a
lot
of
issues
that
we're
facing
tonight.
So
we're
really
asking
for
more
communication
about
climate,
no
comment,
but
about
the
general
plan
changes
in
our
neighborhood
that
they
come
in
a
card
and
they,
you
know
doesn't
you'll,
say:
oh,
it
cost
us
a
lot
of
money.
We
really
need
you
to
do
that.
D
We
need
you
to
let
us
know
when
general
plan
changes
are
happening
in
our
community
and
then
on
top
of
that.
The
general
plan
that
is
focusing
on
jobs
has
to
change
as
we
go
into
a
climate
emergency
we
have
to.
The
science
is
telling
us
that
we
have
to
reduce
50
percent
in
the
next
10
years
or
really
even
more
than
that,
and
what
that
really
looks
like
the
science
says,
is
that
there'll
be
no
driving?
D
A
Thank
you
very
much
with
that.
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
the
next
agenda
item,
which
is
deferrals
and
removals
from
calendar
and
I.
Don't
see
anything
listed
here
so
unless
I
see
otherwise
from
staff.
I'll
move
on
to
the
consent
calendar
great.
So
we
have
two
one
item
on
consent
and
I
have
two
speaker
cards
on
that
item.
So
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
pull
it
and
ask
that
the
staff,
if
the
staff
has
a
presentation
to
go
ahead
and
do
that.
E
Thank
you,
chair,
Pat,
Kelly,
planning,
division,
architectural
dimensions
is
requesting
approval
of
this
hotel
and
condominium
mixed-use
project
the
hotel
fronts
on
to
stockton
avenue
and
takes
vehicle
access
via
a
driveway,
leading
to
a
below
grade
parking
garage.
Pedestrian
access
is
from
the
sidewalk
which
connects
to
a
1,500
square
foot
public
plaza
that
leads
to
the
main
hotel
pedestrian
entry.
E
The
project
is
consistent
with
the
height
limits
and
development
standards
of
the
Deardon
plan,
as
well
as
the
proposed
DC
downtown
primary
commercial
zoning
district,
as
described
in
the
staff
report,
an
addendum
to
the
downtown
strategy.
2040
final
environmental
impact
report
was
prepared
for
the
project.
I
found
the
project
to
be
consistent
with
the
EIA.
Our
staff
is
recommending
the
Planning
Commission
recommend
that
the
City
Council
adopt
the
addendum
and
approved
the
rezoning.
E
The
vesting
tentative
map
and
the
special
use
permit
staff
is
avail
for
questions
and
the
applicant
Dominic,
Dutra
and
Jeffrey
Adams
are
here
as
well
as
the
representative
Eric
Schoen
our
to
answer
any
questions
as
well,
and
our
environmental
project
manager.
Rima
Mahmud,
is
also
here
to
answer
any
environmental
questions
for
the
project.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
Good
evening,
chair
Ballard
members
of
the
Commission,
my
name
is
Eric
Schoen.
Our
I
represent
Cade
development
on
this
application.
We're
excited
to
bring
forward
a
mixed-use
hotel
residential
project
and,
as
summarized
on
the
screen,
this
project
fully
embodies
the
vision
of
the
Deardon
Station
area
plan.
First
of
all,
it's
a
mixed-use
building
with
dual
brand
hotel,
courtyard
and
Residence
Inn
by
Marriott.
F
All
in
one
building,
as
well
as
19
condiment
mininum
units
at
the
corner
is
a
publicly
accessible
plaza
to
implement
the
Deardon
plans,
neighborhood
square
design,
which
is
called
for
at
the
Julien
Stockton
intersection.
We're
proposing
an
LED
art
installation
as
part
of
that
corner
Plaza,
to
add
to
the
inch
visual
interest
of
the
plaza,
as
well
as
the
entrance
of
the
hotel,
we're
fully
maximizing
the
use
of
the
hundred
and
ten
feet
allowed
in
the
currently
allowed
in
the
dirt
on
plans.
F
We're
not
leaving
any
development
potential
on
the
table,
we're
putting
all
the
parking,
drop-off,
pickup
and
trash
collection
underground
in
the
garage.
The
project
will
create
45
to
50
new
jobs
and
2.2
to
2.4
million
square
feet
of
TOD
tax
for
the
city,
the
location
and
the
design
will
promote
transit
and
pedestrian
activity.
We're
walking
distance
to
the
Deardon
station,
as
well
as
the
bus
routes
on
the
alameda.
We
will
be
revising
the
traffic
signal,
crosswalk
and
and
bike
paths
at
the
intersection
to
improve
their
usability.
F
G
The
sorry
this
is
a
tough
site.
It's
a
really
tough
site.
We
had
here
it
it's
long,
it's
narrow.
It's
got,
Cal,
train,
Union,
Pacific.
On
one
side,
it's
got
Julian
underpass
on
one
side,
the
other
side,
Stockton
is
very
short.
We've
only
got
access
to
one
driveway
on
this
project,
so
it's
a
very
urban
site
and
I
think
you
know
work.
We
worked
with
city,
we
worked
with
staff
for
almost
18
months
to
resolve
lots
of
issues
and
I
really
like
appreciate
the
help
they
got
us
to
get
us
here.
G
We
have
a
corner
plaza,
as
you
can
see
on.
The
slide
is
part
of
the
dear
Don
master
plan.
It's
also
the
entrance
to
the
hotel.
The
entrance
to
the
condos
is
just
adjacent
to
it
as
well.
All
these
will
help
activate
the
street
corner
and
keep
it
done
that
way.
The
I
can't
I'm.
Sorry,
it's
not
moving
on
me.
G
The
we
basically
took
the
designer
that
all
the
public
spaces
for
the
hotel
are
all
located
along
the
front
and
shoes,
so
we
can
activate
the
street
and
promote
activity
that
way.
The
architecture
of
the
building
was
based
on
the
concept
of
two
two
hotels,
so
that
we
we
worked
in
into
two
concepts
so
to
represent
the
two
Health
tells
that
are
in
them
in
the
hotel,
and
then
we
also
went
ahead
and
worked
on
the
corners
of
the
buildings
to
create
different
accents.
G
G
H
G
G
G
We've
designed
it
so
that
it's
easily
done
say
anything
with
a
trash
pickup
and
the
service
deliveries
will
also
go
down
through
the
same
garage
and
we've
worked
with
the
Environmental
Services
to
really
vet
that
and
make
that
a
workable,
viable
thing
for
a
very
tight
urban
site
and
I
think
I'm
just
about
out
of
time.
Thank
you.
A
I
My
name
is
Rebecca
Davis
I
represent
laborers
International
Union
of
North
America
Local
270,
including
its
members
that
live
and
work
in
San
Jose.
The
city
is
proposing
to
approve
this
project
without
conducting
adequate
sequel
review.
We
submitted
written
comments
this
morning
detailing
why
approving
the
project
based
on
addendum
violates
equal
and
tonight,
I
want
to
just
cover
a
few
of
those
points
as
an
initial
matter.
The
addendum
that
was
actually
issued
for
review
by
the
public
states
that
it's
an
addendum
to
the
Deardon
Station
area
plan.
I
Finally,
I
are
yet
the
initial
study
that
was
attached
to
the
addendum
states
that
the
initial
study
was
prepared
in
support
of
an
addendum
to
the
downtown
strategy.
2040.
Finally,
I
are
an
initial
study.
That's
prepared
to
determine
if
the
project
is
will
result
in
new
or
more
substantial
impacts
than
those
studying
in
the
downtown
strategy.
Ir
is
not
sufficient
to
support
a
finding
of
whether
or
not
the
project
will
result
in
new
or
more
substantial
impacts
when
compared
to
the
Deardon
station.
Cia
are
on
the
very
least.
I
A
new
initial
study
is
needed
to
provide
this
analysis.
Even
if
this
weren't
an
issue,
however,
an
addendum
and
still
be
improper,
because
addendums
have
no
application
when
an
agency
proposes
a
new
project
that
has
not
previously
undergone
sequel
review.
As
detailed
in
our
comment
letter,
there
is
substantial
evidence
that
the
project
will
have
a
significant
air
quality
impact,
greenhouse
gas
biological
impacts
and
therefore
requires
an
e
I
are
just
one
example.
I
We
submitted
expert
comments
by
Francis
off
man,
who
is
an
indoor
air
quality
expert
who
concluded
that
the
project
is
likely
to
expose
future
residents
to
cancer
risk
from
indoor
air
pollution
of
the
112
per
million,
largely
as
a
result
of
the
long
term
formaldehyde
emissions-
and
this
is
far
above
the
10
per
million
Bay
Area
Air,
Quality
Management
District
threshold
of
significance.
To
conclude,
we
urge
the
city
to
decline,
to
adopt
the
addendum
for
the
project
and
instead
require
staff
to
prepare
an
MD
or
an
e
IR.
Thank
you.
D
Okay,
one
of
the
issues
I'm
tested
Woodmansee
and
we
live
on
Stockton
Avenue
I
never
got
the
card
about
this
development
and
that's
because
the
development,
when
you're
in
industrial
sectors
like
this
project,
is
at
the
edge
of
Stockton
near
the
Alameda,
it
doesn't
reach
into
our
garden
Alameda
neighborhood.
So
our
neighborhood
really
didn't
get
any
kind
of
notification
about
this
development
at
least
I
didn't
over
between
Chile
and
Villa.
So
that's
a
problem.
When
you
build
in
industrial
areas,
you
have
to
go
further
to
get
into
the
residential
neighborhoods.
D
Then
just
you
know
what
happens
is
that
they
gerrymander
the
circle
and
it
becomes
very
on
a
part
of
the
community.
It
gets
all
into
the
industrial
area.
Really
no
one
gets
notified.
So
we
really
have
to
look
at
that
in
terms
of
planning
that
the
neighborhoods
get
notified
and
extend
the
reach
to
see
the.
So
we
have
more
impact.
This
piece
of
property
is
undeveloped
at
this
time.
One
of
the
things
that
they,
my
husband
who's,
a
biologist,
says
in
terms
of
our
ecological
collapse
that
we
shouldn't
be
developing
on
these
lands.
D
We
should
be
developing
agriculture
and,
like
our
e
Middlebrook
says,
we
need
generative
organic
agriculture
to
grow
food
locally,
and
so
we
have
food
security
and
food
sustainability.
This
project
and
looking
at
it
there's
a
couple
of
issues.
One
is
the
terrible
issue
of
the
east
side
of
Julian
that
is
not
88,
compliant
that
there
is
only
steps
to
get
down.
There
isn't
a
way
to
get
down
without
the
steps
and
there's
no
bicycle
path,
so
that
needs
to
really
be
improved
over.
D
There
sounds
like
maybe
it
is,
but
I
don't
know,
and
then,
on
top
of
it,
the
type
of
architecture
we're
getting
in
our
community
is
really
lacking
of
addressing
our
our
nature
deficit
disorder.
There
isn't
enough
trees,
there
isn't
enough.
We
need
to
be
building
like
they
do
in
Singapore
with
plants
growing
all
over
it.
There
needs
to
be
a
lot
more
nature.
D
A
F
F
With
regard
to
the
representative
from
the
construction
unions,
I'm,
not
an
air
quality
expert,
so
I
can't
speak
to
the
validity
of
their
letter.
I'll.
Let
the
professional
staff
do
that
in
a
moment,
but
I
will
speak
to
a
pattern
of
behavior.
So
we've
seen
this
story
before
the
day
before
a
hearing,
a
technical
letter
full
of
rigmarole
is
dropped
on
the
staff
and
they're
expected
to
analyze
it
and
provide
you.
Professional
input
up
on
the
screen
are
all
the
times
that
the
same
strategy
has
been
deployed
over
the
last
few
years.
F
Over
and
over
again,
every
single
time,
the
City
Council,
the
Planning
Commission
or
the
Director
of
Planning
have
found
that
the
sequent
is
adequate
and
complete
and
the
project
has
been
approved.
So
it's
a
pattern
of
behavior
that
uses
a
lot
of
staff
time
and
you
can
see
from
the
record
that
it's
happened
year
after
year
after
year.
K
As
to
their
first
comment
that
there
is
no
evidence
to
support
the
city's
determination
that
an
addendum
to
the
D
sub
P
IR
is
adequate
under
sequa,
because
the
initial
study
was
prepared
in
support
of
an
addendum
to
the
downtown
strategy
2040.
Finally,
I
are
the
commenter

correct

states
for
the
record
that
the
correct
reference
should
be
as
follows:

supporting

study
was
prepared
as
an
addendum
to
the
downtown

Finally,
I
are.
The
second
comment
was
that
Seco
requires
the
city
to
prepare
a
tiered
er
for
the
project
instead
of
an
addendum
Seco

If
the
initial
study
for
the
project
does
not
identify
any
new
impacts
that
were
not
considered
in
the
priory
IR
and
does
not
exacerbate
any
other
identified

the

in
the
downtown

dir
and
does
not
exacerbate
any
other
impacts
of
that
e
IR.
Therefore,
an
addendum
is
appropriate
for
this
project.
K
The
third
comment
that
the
city
cannot
issue
an
addendum
for
the
project
because
the
project
was
not
addressed
in
the
program:
EA
RS,
the
project's
relationship
to
the
downtown
strategy.
2040
vir
is
outlining
section
1
of
the
initial
study.
The

rooms.
K
Their
fourth
comment
that
there's
substantial
evidence
that
the
project
will
have
significant
environmental
impact.
The
initial
study
in
support
of
the
addendum
analyzed
the
impacts
of
the
project
and
applied
the
mitigation
measures
identified
in
the
downtown
strategy.
24
Dei
are
to
reduce
the
impacts
to
less
than
significant
levels.
The
initial
study
did
identify
significant
impacts
to
air
quality,
nesting
and
migratory
birds,
cultural
resources,
hazards
and
hazardous
materials
during
the
construction
period.
K
The
comment
number
five:
they
substantial
evidence
that
the
project
will
have
significant
environmental
impact
on
indoor
air
quality,
while
analysis
of
an
existing
condition
affecting
a
project
is
not
required
on
the
sequel.
The
city's
general
plan
policy,
MS
11.1,
requires
completion
of
air
quality
modeling
for
sensitive
land
uses
such
as
new
residential
developments
near
sources
of
pollution
such
as
railroads,
even
though
not
required
by
seeker.
K
The
initial
study
on
pages
46
through
49,
provided
an
analysis
of
toxic
air
contaminants
on
the
proposed
project,
while
the
Bay
Area
Air
Quality,
Management
District
recognized
formaldehyde
as
an
outdoor
toxic
air
contaminant
from
automobile
and
truck
exhaust.
The
Bay
Area
Air
Quality
Management
sequel
guidelines
do
not
define
a
specific
threshold
for
formaldehyde
now.
Does
it
regulate
indoor
air
quality?
K
The
proposed
project
would
be
built
in
accordance
to
the
most
recent
California
Green
Building
Code,
which
specifies
that
composite
wood
wood
products
meet
the
requirements
for
formaldehyde
as
specified
in
the
California
Air
Resources
Board
air
toxic
control
measures.
In
addition,
the
project
will
be
required
to
comply
with
the
city's
Green
Building
ordinance
and
will
be
designed
to
achieve
maximum
LEED
certification.
Leed
certification
will
require
measures
to
improve
indoor
air
quality.
K
The
next
comment
is
that
there
is
substantial
evidence
that
the
project
will
have
a
significant
impact
on
biological
resources.
As
a
result
of
window
collisions,
the
project
site
is
located
within
a
developed
urban
area
of
San
Jose.
The
project
site
is
not
located
on
a
migration
corridor
for
birds
and
is
not
close
to
a
creek
or
other
riparian
habitat.
K
Furthermore,
as
shown
in
figures
3-3
and
3-4
in
the
initial
study,
the
building
design
has
several
visual
breaks,
achieved
through
architectural
projections
and
recession's
changes
in
materials
and
varied
fenestration
patterns
that
divide
the
bulkiness
of
the
mass
and
would
use
a
variety
of
building
materials.
These
techniques
help
to
break
up
an
expanse
of
glass
and
prevent
bird
strikes.
K
The
second
comment
was
that
the
addendums
air
model
relies
on
an
unsubstantiated
reduction
in
construction,
hauling,
vendor
and
worker
link
the
triple-n's,
a
toxic
air.
Contaminant
analysis
was
prepared
for
the
project,
which
is
also
including
an
appendix
a
of
the
initial
study
for
the
purpose
of
determining
determining
the
toxic
air
contaminant
emissions
due
to
localized
construction
emissions,
which
analyzed
construction
trips
in
close
proximity
to
the
site.
K
The
next
comment
was
that
the
addendums
air
model
relies
on
unsubstantiated
changes
to
wastewater
treatment
system
percentages.
There
are
the
model
assumptions
were
modified
to
reflect.
All
project
wastewater
will
be
treated
at
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
as
no
septic
systems
are
proposed
on-site.
Such
emissions
would
not
contribute
to
localized
toxic
air
contaminant
impacts
that
are
the
subject
of
the
analysis.
K
K
The
fifth
comment
related
to
air
quality
is
that
the
addendums
air
model
relies
on
unsubstantiated
changes
to
off-road
equipment,
pieces
and
horsepower
Illingworth
in
Rod
Ken.
The
consultant
for
the
city
generated
a
calamar
default
equipment
list
based
on
the
Cali
mods
default
acreages
for
the
types
and
sizes
of
land
uses,
because
the
model
is
sensitive
to
acreage
wing
computing,
construction
activity,
Illingworth
and
rod.
K
K
The
Cali
mod
assumptions
are
reflective
of
the
proposed
project,
as
just
mentioned
about
the
toxic
air.
Contaminant
risks
of
the
project
are
based
on
construction,
with
the
generator
included
in
the
analysis,
the
health
risks
are
negligible
from
project
generated
automobiles
and
limited
truck
traffic,
as
they
would
result
in
a
low
level
of
particulate
matter.
Emissions
Illingworth
and
rod
can
conservatively
assume
an
infant
exposure
to
the
toxic
air
contaminant
emissions
from
the
project.
K
Because
infant
exposure
is
the
most
sensitive
receptor,
a
mitigation
measure
was
included
in
the
project
mitigation
measure,
air
dash
1-1
to
reduce
the
exposure
of
sensitive
receptors
to
construction,
toxic
air
contaminants
to
a
less
than
significant
level.
The
next
comment
was
there
substantial
evidence
that
the
project
may
have
a
significant
health
risk
impact.
The
analysis
results
identified
by
the
commenter
were
likely
generated
using
a
screening
model
which
is
not
reflective
of
the
project.
Specific
information
included
in
the
toxic
air
contaminants
analysis
prepared
for
the
project.
K
The
project
specific
modeling
provided
in
the
initial
study
relied
on
air
mod,
which
is
the
model
recommended
for
use
in
such
analyses
by
the
Bay
Area
Air
Quality
Management
District.
The
next
comment
was
that
the
addendum
failed
to
adequately
analyze
greenhouse
gas
impacts.
Greenhouse
gas
impacts
were
analyzed
in
detail
in
the
downtown
strategy.
2040
IR
and
the
greenhouse
gas
impacts
of
the
project
were
analyzed
in
section
4.8
of
the
initial
study.
Neither
the
final,
a
IR
or
the
project
resulted
in
significant
impacts.
K
K
The
final
comment
was
that
the
city
must
prepare
an
e
IR,
because
the
downtown
strategy,
2040
program
er,
admits
significant
and
unavoidable
environmental
impacts.
The
City
Council
prepared
a
statement
of
overriding
considerations
for
the
significant
unavoidable
impacts
of
the
development
proposed
under
the
downtown
strategy.
2040.
Finally,
I
are,
in
the
council
certified
that
report.
K
J
A
L
Think
it
really
does
not
do
anybody
a
service
of
getting
it
at
the
last
minute,
because
it
raises
a
substantial
amount
of
issues
and
for
us
to
be
able
to
really
consider
them
and
give
them
the
consideration
that
they're
due.
We
would
ask
that
we
get
these
things
more
in
advance
and
the
I
don't
think
that
there's
any
reason
to
be
getting
these
on
a
consistent
basis.
The
day
of
the
hearing
or
the
day
before.
A
And
I'll
+1
that
it's
not
only
the
commissioners
up
here,
but
it's
everybody
in
the
audience
that
are
here
to
hear
about
important
issues
before
the
Planning
Commission,
so
I
agree
and
thank
you
for
raising
that.

This

as
we
mentioned
earlier,
is
a
100
percent,
affordable

and
meets
these
conditions.
The
following
waivers
have
been

from
the

The
Municipal

M
The

requests
a

Additionally,
staff
receives
six
letters
on
this

Five
of
the
letters
were
inquiries
about

project
from
a

to
address
the
public
inquiries.
A

M
The

would
be
in

transportation
policies.
Therefore,
a
determination
for
a

can
be
made
with

by
including

that
apply
to
all
projects
in
San
Jose.
The
initial
study
did
not
identify
any
new
impacts
beyond
those
and
analyze
in
the
December.
M
Therefore,
the
project
meets
the
criteria
of
an
addendum
pursuant
to
the
California
Environmental
Quality
Act
guidelines.
The
initial
study
fied
relevant
mitigation
measures,

are
for
potential

In
addition,
standard
permit
conditions
are
made
part
of
the

approval.
M
These
standard
permit
conditions
include
best

and
both
the
mitigation
measures
and
standard

conditions
are
made
part
of
this

M
The
initial

include
concluded
that
the
proposed

would
not
result
in

increase
in
the
magnitude
of
any

previously
identified
in

a

and
an
addendum
to
the
DISA

IR
is
the
appropriate
level
of

recommends.
The
Planning
Commission
recommend
that
the

adopt
the
addendum

A
H
Madam
chair
members
of
the
Commission,
my
name
is
Kurt
Anderson
of
principal
of
manners
of
architects
I'm
here
representing
first
community
housing
before
we
start
I
want
to
tell
you
how
much
we
appreciate
all
the
staff
efforts,
Rhonda
John
to
Rima
there's,
so
many
people
indicated
we
can't
even
that
took
us
to
get
to
this
process.
So
we
can
work
on
this
for
two
and
a
half
years
to
get
to
this
point
these
projects
they
typically
take
between
five
to
seven
years
before
we
can
complete
them.
H
C
Thanks
and
thank
you
so
I'm
Jeff
Morgan,
president
of
first
Community
Housing
I,
want
to
start
out
first
of
all
by
taking
a
moment
to
acknowledge
a
dear
friend
and
colleague,
who
passed
away.
Unfortunately,
last
night,
Tom
I
am
ac,
served
first
Community
Housing
for
20
years.
His
vision
guided
our
efforts
for
most
of
the
communities
that
we
served
and
he
actually
was
involved
in
this
project
and
I
have
to
say
that
I
think
he'd
be
really
proud
of
where
we
are
tonight.
This
will
be
one
of
the
most
transit
oriented
projects.
C
We've
worked
on,
it's
so
impactful
and
so
necessary
next
to
one
of
the
greatest
transit
hubs
on
the
west
coast,
I'm
grateful
to
be
here
and
for
the
work
of
all
the
staff.
That's
been
involved
and
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
them.
I'm
hurting
tonight,
but
I
know
that
wherever
tom
is
right
now
he's
smiling
to
think
that
we're
at
this
point,
thank
you.
F
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Alec

I'm

V's
members
evaluated
and
scored
this
project
in
November
of
2018
when
first
community
housing
was
kind
enough
to
come
and
present
it
to
our
members.
It
scored
a
four
point.
Six
out
of
five,
you
know,
I
believe,
is
the
highest.
Any
project
we've
ever
evaluated
has
scored,
has
many
many
fantastic
elements,
so
we
all
keep
track
of
the
projects.
We're
working
on
I
know
you
all
evaluated
a
proposal
last
month
from
first
Kimmy
how
zhing
I
know
that
Commissioner
Oliverio
brought
up
to
staff?
F
Hey?
Can
you
make
it
as
dense
as
it
can
be?
Can
you
have
as
many
units
so
we
can
fully
take
advantage
of
these
sites
and
I'm
delighted
that
this
site
received
and
is
applying
for
a
density
bonus
and
is
12
and
13
stories
of
affordable
housing
near
transit?
This
is
the
type
of
project
that
we
absolutely
need
and
applaud.
First
can
be
housing
for
including
transit
passes
as
well
to
really
tie
together,
Dehradun
station
and
the
affordable
housing.
We
need.
F
I
will
and
I
didn't
have
a
chance
to
talk
about
it
during
the
open
comment,
but
I
was
at
the
Santa
Clara
City
Council
yesterday
and
I
did
want
to
revisit
another
point.
With
this
commission.
The
Santa
Clara
City
Council
was
looking
at
a
project,
an
affordable
housing
project
from
its
Planning
Commission.
F
It
had
eight
recommendations
from
the
Planning
Commission
on
conditions
of
approval
that
the
Planning
Commission
could
look
at
so
I
always
just
want
to
re-emphasize
with
you
as
playing
commissioners,
that
there
are
other
cities
that
are
making
changes
from
the
dais
upon
which
you
sit
to
make
projects
as
good
as
possible.
So
I
ask
that
you
never
hesitate.
F
If
there
are
ways
you
think
a
project
can
be
made
as
good
as
possible
for
as
many
people
in
the
community
as
possible
that
you
will
take
advantage
of
that
opportunity
and
I
think
you
always
have
that
opportunity.
Santa
Clara
considered
eight
conditions
of
approval
from
its
Planning
Commission
last
night.
Thank
you.
So
much.
D
I'm
glad
that
I
was
here
about
this
site
because
it
is
in
my
community
and
as
a
bicycle
writer
there's
problems
with
McAvoy
McAvoy
comes
an
intersex
Park
Avenue.
They
have
worked
on
Park
Avenue
to
make
it
safer
and
more
bicycle
and
pedestrian
friendly.
But,
as
you
might
remember,
there
was
a
real
serious
accident
that
happened
there,
where
man
got
decapitated
as
he
was
riding
into
the
Sun
and
he
went
under
a
truck.
That's
the
spot
right
there
park
and
MacAvoy
is
where
that
happened
that
accident.
D
D
So
we
really
need
to
come
off
that
road
and
go
right
across
Park
Avenue
and
that's
what
I'm.
You
know.
This
has
always
been
an
issue
about
this
MacAvoy
development,
as
we've
intensified
the
residential
over
there.
So
what
you
have
to
do
is
you
have
to
go
on
the
wrong
side
of
the
road
to
get
to
sun'll
and
then
you
could
cross
the
tunnel,
but
it's
dangerous
as
cars
are
coming
around
into
MacAvoy.
So
we
really
need
that
crosswalk
at
that
location
and
there's
also
a
lot
of
blind
issues
there.
D
L
H
The
last
speaker
really
brought
up
some
good
points
when
we
started
this
project.
We
had
a
lot
of
means
with
d-o-t
of
Public
Works
and
it's
a
time
we
started
it.
San
Carlos
bridge
was
talked
about
being
relocated
to
the
South,
actually
adding
more
area
between
our
bridge
and
the
bridge
and
our
buildings.
The
latest
discussions
from
d-o-t
in
both
Park
and.
E
H
Carlos
are
those
both
of
those
bridges
are
gonna,
be
eliminated,
they're
going
to
be
flattened
out,
so
there
could
be
more
like
an
intersection
over
by
serranos
project
over
on
Park
work
and
and
bird
I
mean
excuse
me
on
race.
So
there's
a
lot
of
changes
coming.
That
area
has
to
do
with
it
with
the
Google
plan,
so
I
think
we're.
You
can
see
some
a
market
improvements
as
far
as
pedestrian
activity
for
a
learning
activity
of
Circulations
same
as
bicycle.
H
One
thing
that
staff
failed
to
point
out
in
their
report
is:
we
are
a
bicycle
oriented
development.
We
actually
are
providing
about
four
times
about
a
bicycle
park.
You
know
our
site
and
as
we
actually
required
so
we're
very
sensitive
to
that.
We're
gonna
work
with
Public,
Works
and
staff
to
make
sure
that
is
safety
for
the
people
that
live
there.
So,
in
a
nutshell,
I
know,
Jeff
won't
say
a
couple
more
things,
but
we're
really
really
excited
about
this
project.
We
think
it
fills
a
need
in
the
community.
H
Obviously-
and
this
is
just
a
first
step
of
many,
so
we
appreciate
all
your
support-
hopefully
you're
gonna
grant
us
an
approval
tonight,
so
we
get
to
Council
and
proceed
as
I
said
earlier.
In
my
presentation
you
know
it's
gonna,
probably
be
four
or
five
or
six
years
for
a.
We
see
these
things
completed,
so
we
got
a
long
ways
to
go,
but
that's
what
it
takes.
These
kind
of
things
done
so
with
that
I'm
gonna
turn
back
over
to
Jeff.
So
thank
you
for
listening
and
we
were
requesting
approval.
Thank
you.
Thank.
L
C
So
the
only
thing
I
wanted
to
add
is
we've
been
successful
at
applying
for
two
rounds
of
cap
and
trade
funds
for
projects
in
our
communities.
One
will
be
the
coming
Roosevelt
Park
Apartments
project
and
one
it's
at
North
San
Pedro
to
create
off-site
improvements,
so
we've
been
really
exploring
the
idea
of
signalization
around
Park
and
and
looking
at
that
measure
and
I
know
that
there's
questions
around
the
alignment
of
whether
we're
gonna
have
an
elevated
track
or
not
in
terms
of
what's
actually
going
to
happen,
st.
Carlos.
C
So
we
could
get
a
true
alignment
along
that
that
Creek,
if
it's
exposed.
So
a
lot
of
that
relates
to
some
broader
plans,
but
I
want
to
say
we're
definitely
committed
to
make
sure
we're
gonna
give
a
hundred
percent
of
our
residents
will
have
fast.
They'll
have
smart
passes.
We
do
that
with
everyone
in
our
community
we're
the
largest
purchaser
of
those
passes,
so
that's
all
I
wanted
to
say
and
we're
really
excited
to
get
going
on
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
L
J
J
Would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
project
and
I
just
have
one
comment
that
I
would
like
to
go
to
City
Council
I
was
under
the
impression
that
developments
in
the
zone
needed
to
make
a
contribution
to
the
potential
light
rail
station.
Stop
that
has
been
proposed
and
discussed
for
some
time,
as
the
other
developments
around
this
area
has
made
contributions
of
either
land
or
money.
I
just
want
to
have
that
as
a
reminder
to
the
council
to
see
if,
if
they
that
that
has
changed,
but
it's
not
contingent
on
the
motion
I'm.
J
A
J
You
chair
just
one
other
comment:
I
think
San
Jose
has
done
an
incredible
job.
Building
housing
of
all
various
incomes
and
I.
Think
this
project
is
hopeful
that
more
jobs
will
come
to
the
downtown,
but
those
jobs
are
not
a
given
because
that's
a
variable,
that's
unknown,
but
with
that
said,
I'm
supportive
of
this
project
and
look
forward
and,
as
you
said,
it
takes
a
lot
of
time
and
a
lot
of
these
projects
take
1020
years
for
some
of
them
to
pop
out
from
when
they're
initially
approved
in
general
plans
or
specific
specific
plans.
N
You
chair
and
thank
you
to
everyone
involved
in
the
project
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
just
want
to
point
I
thought.
I
would
disagree
a
little
bit
with
my
fellow
commissioner
that
I,
don't
think
San
Jose
has
done
enough.
Nor
is
there
really
any
one
in
California
done
enough
in
terms
of
building
affordable
housing.
We've
done
plenty
to
build
housing,
just
not
necessarily
housing
that
everyone
can
live
in.
So
I'm
really
excited
about
this
project.
N
As
the
son
of
a
teacher
is
someone
who
works
in
the
on
profit
sector
with
a
wife
who
works
in
public
service,
you
know
we're
not
the
Rockefellers
and
we
can't
afford
necessarily
live
in
a
town
where
we
grew
up
and
where
my
parents
grew
up
frankly.
So
it's
it's
concerning
for
everyone
and
I'm
really
glad
this
projects
are
coming
through
and
I
really
wish
that
they
were
more
focused.
N
We
had
a
packed
house
here
tonight
to
see
us
hopefully
move
this
project
forward
and
I
hope,
there's
a
packed
house
at
Council
to
see
it
because
we
get
told
quite
a
bit
and
the
council
gets
told
quite
a
bit
that
we
don't
do
anything
and
staff
gets
told
that
they
don't
do
anything
we
are
doing
something.
Is
it
moving
fast
enough?
N
No,
is
it
moving
as
fast
as
we'd
like
it
to
no,
but
we
are
moving
forward
and
there
are
projects
like
this
that
come
through,
that
we
need
to
be
supportive
of
and
I'm
really
glad
to
hear
the
support
from
the
community
and
to
have
really
no
blowback
tonight
on
this
project.
That's
fantastic!
So
thank
you
to
everyone
involved
and
I'm
excited
to
support
it
and
thank
you,
mr.
manager,
commissioner,.
L
Just
want
to
make
a
brief
brief
comment,
so,
in
addition
to
the
fact
that
I
think
this
is
a
great
project
from
a
social
perspective,
I
just
want
to
commend
the
architect
mr.
Anderson,
because
I
really
like
this
TEDx
of
this
and
I
know
that
as
a
commission,
we
don't
really
have
as
much
say
on
this
TEDx,
but
as
someone
who
lives
in
San
Jose
and
will
likely
drive
past
this
project,
I
love
the
use
of
the
colors
and
the
ground
floor,
facade
and
I.

Thank
you,
madam

manager.
The
project
before
you
this
evening
is
a
general
plan.
Amendment
confirming
rezoning
and
special
use
permit
for
the
project
site
located
at
6:15
and
623
Stockton
Avenue
residential
uses
surround
the
site
to
the
north,
south
and
west
stockton,
avenue
industrial
uses
and
commercial
uses
are
located
to
the
east
of
the
corner
project
site.
The
project
site
is
comprised
of
two
Lots
at
the
corner
of
Stockton
Avenue
and
Schiele
Avenue.
I
Currently
there
is
a
vacant
commercial
building
on
the
site
and
a
historic
home
used
as
a
law
office.
Both
the
project
site
parcels
have
a
commercial
neighborhood
zoning
district,
the
615
Stockton
Avenue
parcel
has
a
general
plan.
Land
use,
designation
of
neighborhood
community
commercial
and
the
623
Stockton
Avenue
parcel
has
a
general
plan.
Land
use
designation
of
residential
neighborhood.
The
project
proposal
includes
a
general
plan
amendment
to
change
the
general
plan,
land
use,
designation
of
623
Stockton
Avenue
from
residential
neighborhood
to
neighborhood
community
commercial.
I
With
the
general
plan
amendment,
both
properties
will
function
as
one
site
with
a
consistent
general
plan,
land
use,
designation
and
allowable
uses.
The
project
also
includes
a
conforming
rezoning
to
change
the
project
site,
zoning
from
the
commercial
neighborhood
zoning
district
to
the
commercial
pedestrian
zoning
district.
Finally,
the
project
includes
a
special
use
permit
to
allow
the
demolition
of
the
4400
square
foot,
commercial
building
and
accessory
structures
on
site
and
the
construction
of
a
five-story
hotel
with
120
guestrooms.
I
The
existing
historic
building
at
623
Stockton
Avenue
would
be
relocated
to
the
southwest
portion
of
the
site
along
Healy
Avenue
and
would
be
repurposed
as
the
hotel's
back
of
house
and
offices.
The
hotel
would
include
a
ground-floor
Bobbe
cafe,
with
a
bar
gym
and
small
meeting
room
for
guests
room
balconies,
located
at
the
second
floor
and
a
3,000
square
foot,
roof
deck
for
hotel
guests
use,
the
hotel
will
have
two
levels
of
underground
parking
accessible
from
Stockton
Avenue
no
driveways
are
proposed
on
the
project.
I
Schiele
Avenue
frontage
and
up
to
50%
parking
reduction
is
requested
for
the
development.
The
project,
as
designed
would
provide
82
parking
spaces,
five
motorcycle
spaces
and
fourteen
bicycles
spaces
on
site
to
support
the
parking
reduction.
The
project
would
implement
a
transportation
demand
management
plan
for
the
life
of
the
project,
including
providing,
among
other
things,
a
hotel,
guest
shuttle
and
hotel
passenger
loading
zone
for
ride,
share
service,
drop-off
and
pickup
along
Stockton
Avenue.
The
proposed
project
was
reviewed
and
found,
in
conformance
with
the
envision
San
Jose
2040
general
plan.
I
The
zoning
ordinance
municipal
code,
City
Council
policies,
commercial
design,
guidelines
in
the
California
Environmental
Quality
Act.
The
project
is
consistent
with
the
zoning
code
requirements
by
adhering
to
the
CP
commercial,
pedestrian
zoning
districts,
height
limitations
and
setback
requirements.
The
five
storey
project
would
be
designed
to
step
back
from
the
residential
uses
and
is
oriented
toward
Stockton
Avenue.
A
community
mill
meeting
was
held
on
August
29th
2019
for
the
proposed
project
and
approximately
50
residents
were
in
were
in
attendance.
Staff
has
received
comments
and
petitions
regarding
the
proposed
projects
impacts
to
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
I
Additionally,
since
posting
the
staff
report,
public
comments
are

Thank

P
M
N
P
Cassandra
especially
I
think
covered
most
of
what
I
was
gonna
say
here,
so
this
will
hopefully
be
quick.
I
wanted
to
I
think
you
guys
have
had
the
chance
to
review
the
drawing
package,
as
submitted
so
I
think
your
obably
already
familiar
with
the
broad
outlines
of
the
project,
so
this
is
just
context
outside
of.
P
What's
in
those
drawings
wanted
to
start
off
by
placing
this
project
in
the
context
of
the
development
around
Dehradun
station
stockton
avenues
for
a
much
an
area
in
transition,
it
is
bordered
by
both
single-family
residential,
but
also
by
increasingly
commercial
and
multi-family
and
light
industrial
uses,
and
for
that
reason
the
project
owner
who
lives
in
the
neighborhood
and
wants
to
deliver
a
quality
project
feels
this
is
the
appropriate
time
to
replace
a
vacant
commercial
lot
with
a
hotel
development
serving
primarily
business.
Travelers
I
must
get
past
some
of
this
who
thinks
and
recovered
it
I.
P
Do
want
to
highlight
in
this
section
is
a
little
bit
distorted
on
this
screen.
The
move
of
taking
the
historic
house,
which
is
typical
of
the
architecture
of
Schiele
and
villa
avenues
and
moving
it
from
Stockton
to
Schiele,
has
the
effect
of
providing
a
70
foot
buffer
between
our
project
and
a
property
line
of
the
nearest
house.
The
required
setback
is
10
feet,
but
we
felt
that
was
oppressive
and
so
creating
this
breathing
room,
which
I
was
more
appropriate
for
the
neighborhood
I
also
want
to
skip
ahead.
P
We
also
angled
windows,
which
would
have
faced
into
backyards
to
deny
a
line
of
sight,
and
we
also
removed
a
number
of
guest
rooms
above
the
second
floor,
which
have
had
line-of-sight
into
backyard
long
villa
and
then
I
also
want
to
call
attention
to
the
roof
deck
as
proposed
and
the
terrace
a
couple
of
second-floor
guest
rooms,
the
positioning
of
the
roof
deck
is
optimal
for
viewing
along
Stockton
and
towards
the
airport.
If
guests
want
to
see,
you
know
the
city
as
a
whole
and
see
planes
come
in,
there's
sorry
about
that.
P
What's
much
louder
here,
the
line
of
sight
is
not
in
two
backyards
and
we
worked
to
design
it
such
that
people
were
not
being
observed
when
they're
in
there
and
their
residents
are
in
their
yard
now
I'm
that
roof
deck.
It's
not
a
bar
lounge.
It's
a
family
friendly
space
to
go
and
sit
with
a
coffee,
and
you
know
watch
the
city
go
by
it's
not
going
to
be
a
destination.
P
Similarly,
there's
a
market
grab
and
go
at
the
ground
floor
which
is
open
to
guests,
but
also
to
anybody
from
the
neighborhood
who
wants
to
stop
in
a
limited
beverage
service
is
included
in
that,
but
I'm
not
seeing
this
becoming
a
destination
bar
that
you
would
go
to
meet
your
friends
and
hang
out
at
last.
They
want
to
touch
briefly
on
parking.
It
was
a
big
concern
that
there's
already
over
subscription
to
parking
in
the
neighborhood.
P
So,
following
the
neighborhood
meeting,
we
had
enlarge
the
basement
and
added
17
parking
spaces,
we're
also
providing
long
and
short-term
bicycle
storage
in
the
hopes
that
folks
will
use
bikes
and
the
bike
lane
on
Stockton
to
get
to
where
they're
going
rather
than
calling
a
car
and
we've
taken
care
to
ensure
that
there
is
no
incentive
for
traffic
arriving
or
departing
to
go
down,
Villa
or
Sheila.
Everything
is
done
and
accessed
from
Stockton,
so
with
that
I
will
yield
the
rest
of
my
time.
Thank
you.
A
E
A
Right
so
I
have
a
stack
of
speaker
cards
here
and
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
start
calling
people
up
starting
with
Christy
I'm
gonna
call
like
three
at
a
time,
so
you
can
get
ready
to
come
up
so
that
we
can
keep
things
moving
quickly.
Given
that
there
there
are
a
lot
of
speaker
cards
to
get
through.
So
the
first
three
are
Christy
Simmons
Sophia,
Woodmansee
and
Donna
Wallach.
Q
Hi
so
I'm
speaking
just
for
myself,
I
live
on
julie,
avenue,
and
basically
I
wanted
to
just
make
the
point
that
I
feel
that
this
particular
project
is
inappropriate
for
the
location.
I
have
three
basic
reasons
for
this
feeling.
The
first
is
that
I
don't
feel
that
it
is
consistent
with
the
ncc
land
use.
Designation.
Well,
I
know
that
it
is
an
allowed
use
to
have
a
hotel
there.
The
text
of
the
designation
says
that
should
have
a
strong
connection
to
and
provides
service
and
amenities
to
the
nearby
community.
Q
Q
The
second
reason
why
I
feel
like
it's
inappropriate
is
because
it
will
clash
very
much
with
the
surroundings.
Now
our
neighborhood
is
not
technically
a
historic
neighborhood.
Despite
that,
it
does
is
a
neighborhood
with
a
lot
of
history.
Most
of
the
houses,
including
my
own,
were
built
in
the
early
1900s
and
I
feel
that
the
design
of
this
project
should
be
consistent
with
the
neighborhood
there's
a
better
example
for
this.
Q
On
the
other
side
of
Schiele
Avenue,
where
we
have
an
office
complex
that
has
nice
setbacks
and
design
that
matches
the
Mediterranean
style
of
the
neighborhood.
Most
of
the
houses
are
single-story
Mediterranean.
The
design,
as
you
just
saw,
is
incredibly
modern
and
doesn't
fit
I
feel
that
new
developments
in
San
Jose
very
important.
We
need
to
address
the
growing
community,
but
these
should
support
and
enhance,
rather
than
detract
from
the
historic
buildings
that
already
exist.
Q
The
third
reason
why
I
feel
like
this
site
is
inappropriate
is
because
there
are
many
locations
we
looked
at
earlier,
just
in
this
meeting
for
a
location,
that's
near
Deardon
station
and
is
part
of
the
Deardon
station
area
plan.
If
you
like
that
region
and
also
the
the
Alameda
urban
village
are
more
appropriate
sites.
When
you
look
at
this
site,
it
is
primarily
surrounded
by
residential
there's,
nothing,
that's
easily
to
walk
to
and
I
think
that
it's
therefore
inappropriate.
Thank
you.
Thank.
R
O
A
Not
an
amazing
percentage.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here.
In
case
you
don't
know,
I'm
pretty
sure
we're
all
here
against
the
proposed
hotel
in
Stockton
Avenue.
We
are
all
united
in
this,
but
to
be
honest,
we're
probably
against
the
previous
one
on
Julian.
That
also
sounds
like
a
really
horrible
idea
and
the
LED
light
struktur
I,
don't
think
anyone
wants.
O
A
A
A
O
O
B
Name
is
Donna
Wallach,
6:15
and
6:23
Stockton
Avenue
in
San
Jose
should
not
be
rezone
to
neighborhood
community
commercial.
All
of
the
garden
alameda
neighborhood
must
remain
zoned
as
residential
neighborhood.
We
need
housing
very
low
income
housing
throughout
San
Jose.
The
area
at
6:15
could
be
used
to
build
very
affordable
housing
for
the
people
or
if
it
is
public
land,
it
could
be
given
to
the
South
Bay
Community
Land
Trust,
who
will
use
the
land
for
very
low
income
housing
for
very
low
income
people.
B
We,
the
people,
do
not
need
or
want
a
hotel
in
our
neighborhood.
All
of
Stockton
Avenue
needs
to
remain
zoned
as
residential
neighborhood.
If
anything
is
to
be
built
in
the
garden,
Alameda
neighborhood
only
housing,
our
parks
or
for
growing
food,
nothing,
commercial.
There
was
already
way
too
much
traffic
in
the
area.
Building
a
hotel
at
this
location
will
only
make
the
situation
worse.
There
was
no
need
for
a
hotel
in
our
neighborhood.
We
need
housing.
We
also
need
land
to
grow
food.
Please
do
what
is
right
for
the
people.
B
O
O
I
do
want
to
thank
Cassidy
Cole
from
the
office
of
vice
mayor
chappy,
Jones,
Loren
DeCarlo
from
the
apps
office,
Peter
Allen
and
Helen
Chapman
from
the
office
of
Sergio
Jimenez
for
responding
to
an
email
that
I
sent
to
all
members
of
the
council
and
the
Planning
Commission
to
voice
my
opposition
this
project.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
would
like
to
draw
our
attention
to
that.
O
Schiele
avenue
is
currently
the
only
Street
in
which
you
can
cross
from
the
Alameda
to
Stockton
Avenue,
and
there
are
no
speed
bumps,
so
this
project
would
increase
trafficked,
given
that
they
showed
us
a
picture
of
what
the
relief
of
this
building
would
look
like
on
Schiele
and
not
on
Stockton.
There
will
definitely
be
more
traffic
on
Schiele.
I
am
a
second-generation
resident
of
Schiele
Avenue.
My
house
is
the
one
that
has
a
little
stick
out
of
the
side
ayah,
but
a
wonderful
apartment.
O
I
would
also
like
to
ask
that
the
the
planners
have
said
that
the
person
who
wants
to
build
this
lives
in
our
neighborhood
and
I
would
like
to
ask
them
to
come
and
speak
and
show
who
you
are
for
I
do
not
know
who
you
are,
but
I
know
a
lot
of
my
neighbors
here
and
their
faces
and
I
would
like
to
hear
from
you.
Thank
you.
A
O
D
You
alright,
so
thank
you
very
much
on
Tessa
Woodmansee,
on
Stockton
Avenue.
This
hotel
project
is
not
the
right
project
for
this
neighborhood.
When
we
bought
our
home
at
6:41,
Stockton
Avenue,
it
was
a
bar,
it
was
a
641
club
and
prior
owner
could
not
develop
this
property
into
a
commercial
property
that
he
wanted
to
in
2005.
And
basically
it
was
the
general
plan
at
that.
Time
was
for
the
west
side
of
Stockton
to
go
residential,
and
so
we,
as
a
low-income,
you
know,
my
husband,
is
the
only
breadwinner
our
family.
D
We
were
able
to
afford
this
house,
which
was
I,
call
it
the
thorne
side
of
the
Rose
Garden,
because
it's
a
very
beautiful
neighborhood,
but
it
was
in
the
bad
side
of
the
neighbor.
We
were
on
Stockton
Avenue
and
we
had
a
lot
of
problems
from
that,
but
basically
getting
back
to
the
general
plan,
we
were
conforming
rezoning
and
that
it
was
a
conforming
to
the
general
plan
at
the
time
of
2005,
which
was
for
the
west
side
of
Stockton
to
go
residential.
D
So
he
took
this
bar
and
we
became
a
great
location
in
our
neighborhood.
Our
home
is
even
referred
to
by
many
homeless
people
that
frequent
our
street
and
that
we're
called
the
garden
the
Stockton
gardens,
because
we
as
neighbors
and
community
members
have
made
it
a
nice
neighborhood.
We
worked
on
making
a
nice
neighborhood,
we
were
people
living
there
residents
and
even
the
royal
coach
Torres
that
was
idling
their
buses
and
creating
noise
and
pollution
in
our
neighborhood.
We
helped
stop
that.
D
We
were
neighbors
that
helped
stop
that
to
make
it
a
better
neighborhood
to
make
it
healthier
for
our
community
and
then
there's
the
cinnabar
Commons
down
the
street
that
made
for
low
income
and
very
low
income.
They
did
a
beautiful
job
of
creating
housing
for
people.
This
was
under
the
general
plan
originally
and
and
then
there's
the
Morrison
Park
and
the
the
you
know
market
range.
We
have
more
neighbors
in
our
community
and
you've
done
that.
D
You
did
that
for
our
community
and
now,
with
a
very
bad
plan
that
the
mayor
Locarno
has
brought
to
our
neighborhood
about
jobs.
We
have
to
think
about
building
resilient
communities,
and
this
is
the
job
they
have
to
do.
We
do
not
need
transients
and
the
fact
that
you're
encouraging
transients
is
showing
that
you
have
people
over
profit.
We
need
to
have
people
over
profit
and
thank.
N
E
Hello,
commissioners,
my
name
is
Michael
repiy
I
live
at
762,
Schiele
Avenue,
which
is
about
five
houses
up
from
the
proposed
site.
I'm
also
here
to
represent
my
partner
Nancy,
who
had
surgery
today,
so
she
can't
be
here.
I.
Think
several
of
my
my
neighbors
have
already
mentioned
our
main
objection
to
this
project,
which
is
the
the
current
ncc
zoning.
The
general
plan
has
it
as
NCC
for
a
reason,
and
it
doesn't
have
it,
as
was
it
CP
for
a
reason,
right,
NCC
is
supposed
to
be
a
transition
from
residential
to
commercial.
E
E
You
might
ask
what
we
would
like
to
see
if
you
take
a
look
at
the
other
end
of
Schiele
Avenue,
where
it
intersects
the
Alameda.
That's
a
perfectly
acceptable
use
of
an
NCC
zoning
right.
We
have
both
sides
of
the
street.
We
have
two
and
three
storey
office
buildings.
They
contain
offices
for
lawyers
and
accountants,
travel
agents
if
they
still
exist
on
the
other
side
of
the
Alameda,
is
the
nine
story:
First
Republic
Bank
building,
and
these
two
small.
You
know
commercial
properties.
E
They
provide
a
buffer
from
the
neighborhood
to
that
large
industrial
site
on
the
other
side
of
the
street,
you
know,
so
we
would
like
to
see
you
know
low-density
office,
space
or
affordable
housing
on
that
site.
We
do
not
want
to
see
hotel
that
doesn't
benefit
the
neighborhood
in
any
way.
And
frankly,
we
don't
know
how
you
know
this
even
made
it
past
staff,
because
it's
completely
incompatible
with
the
current
zoning,
so
with
that
I'll
yield
the
rest
of
my
time
unless
you
have
any
questions.
Thank.
O
O
O
We
would
like
to
see
this
site
developed
in
a
way
that's
compatible
with
the
neighborhood
I
reiterate
what
a
number
of
my
neighbors
have
said
that
we
like
the
idea
of
commercial
that
serves
the
neighborhood
and
please
don't
approve
rezoning
of
residential
to
commercial.
We
need
more
of
incidental
thank.
R
R
R
These
sites
were
already
developed.
A
lot
of
them
already
had
some
kind
of
commercial
buildings
on
them.
One
of
them
was
actually
going
to
demolish
something
that
was
there
and
build
a
hotel,
but
none
of
them
were
next
to
an
established,
r1
residential
neighborhood,
let
alone
a
historic
neighborhood.
So
this
design
for
this
project
and
its
use
is
unprecedented
in
the
whole
of
San
Jose,
and
it
makes
absolutely
no
sense.
This
is
an
albatross.
You
have
people
here
in
this
community
that
spend
a
lot
of
money
for
the
stewardship
of
this
community.
R
All
the
houses
of
Midd
built
like
the
late
1800s
to
the
early
1900s
to
the
1920s
they're.
All
custom
made
homes,
they're
single-story
for
the
most
part,
the
people
that
live
there.
When
you
move
into
a
home
like
that,
you
make
a
dedication
to
these
properties
that
you're
going
to
take
care
of
them,
and
it
takes
a
lot
of
work
and
money.
Thank
You.
A
Q
Good
evening
my
name
is
Linda:
Tecate
I
live
at
733
Schiele
Avenue
I'm,
the
woman
who
lives
next
door
to
this
project.
The
staff
analysis
states
that
quote
the
proposed
use
that
the
location
requested
will
not
adversely
affect
the
peace,
health,
safety,
morals
or
welfare
of
persons
residing
or
working
in
the
surrounding
area.
Unquote,
I
strongly
disagree.
The
hotel
services
area
will
face
our
neighborhood.
That
means
delivery,
trucks,
laundry
trucks,
food
trucks,
liquor
trucks.
The
dumpster
area
will
also
face
our
neighborhood.
Q
When
the
bar
and
cafe
closed
at
midnight,
there
will
be
noise
from
the
trash
dumping
and
the
clinking
of
empty
beer
bottles
being
thrown
into
the
dumpster.
In
addition
to
the
noise
from
the
dumpster
pickup
at
3
o'clock
in
the
morning
every
Monday
morning
the
uber
lyft
ride
share
area
will
also
face
our
neighborhood,
since
there
is
a
lack
of
amenities
in
the
area,
guests
will
be
driving
or
taking
rideshare
to
the
shopping
mall
outdoor
outside
restaurants.
There
will
be
slamming
of
car
doors
24/7.
Q
There
will
be
a
3,000
square
foot,
open,
rooftop,
terrace,
open
until
10
o'clock
at
night,
a
hundred
and
twenty
feet
from
my
bedroom
window.
Although
the
hotel
will
not
serve
alcohol
and
the
terrorists,
it
does
not
preclude
guests
from
bringing
their
own
alcohol
to
the
rooftop
and
noise
carries
at
night.
What
impact
will
it
have
on
our
neighborhood
when
the
bar
closes
at
midnight
and
patrons
get
in
their
cars
to
leave?
Q
How
is
it
good
for
our
welfare
to
have
a
bar
within
a
hundred
and
fifty
feet
of
homes
with
small
children,
hotels
and
hotels,
with
bars
tend
to
attract
prostitution?
Just
visit
the
bar
at
the
rosewood
Hotel
on
a
Thursday
night,
a
project
64
feet
high
in
an
historic
neighborhood
of
mostly
single-story
residential
homes,
is
not
the
best
use
for
this
site.
Thank
you.
C
Yeah
hi
hi
commissioners.
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
us
out
here.
I
am
a
17-year
resident
of
San
Jose
I,
absolutely
love
the
city.
I
am
very
excited
about
the
development.
That's
happening
in
the
surrounding
downtown
area.
I
think
the
city
is
on
a
great
path.
I
am
very
excited
about
the
interest
that
that
development
has
attracted
to
this
property.
This
property
is
in
need
of
development
redevelopment,
and
we
welcome
that
as
residents.
I
am
equally
opposed
to
the
development
of
this.
C
This
plan,
for
a
very
simple
reason,
is
an
inappropriate
use
for
this
location.
Let's
talk
about
the
location,
it
six,
the
corner
lot:
623
is
zoned
NCC
NCC,
as
I
read,
it
is
intended
to
serve
the
community
and
to
provide
a
transition
or
a
buffer
from
other
development.
We
know,
Stockton
is
changing.
Okay,
I'm
excited
about
that.
C
Well,
when
we
moved
here
17
years
ago,
it
was
a
scary,
walk
down,
Stockton,
okay,
stockings
in
a
much
better
place
and
that's
gonna
continue
to
improve
I
look
five
ten
years
down
the
road
stocks
is
gonna
change
and
we
need
that
property
to
be
a
buffer
to
this
neighborhood.
This
neighborhood
is
made
up
of
single-family
homes,
mostly
single-family
homes,
mostly
built
between
1880
to
1920
on
all
three
sides
is
a
beautiful,
beautiful
neighborhood.
C
If
you
haven't
seen
it,
please
go
walk
in
I
and
okay,
so
I'm,
okay,
my
times
counting
down
real
quick
I
just
say,
is
II
need
hotels.
Yes,
it
needs
more
hotels,
there's
much
better
places.
The
Deardon
station
area
that
al-amin
urban
village,
those
are
excellent
locations
for
hotels
that
provide
it
from
the
plan
and
I
urge
the
I
urge
the
commissioners
to
please
reject
this
proposal
and
protect
this
neighborhood
and
ensure
that
that
property
is
developed
in
a
way
that
serves
the
community
and
in
respects
adjacencies.
Thank
you.
Thank.
R
If
it
has
nice
neighborhoods
to
drive
through
or
walk
through
to
to
know
the
city
and
because
its
historical
I
think
it's
an
asset
to
keep
it
nice
to
keep
it
lovely
for
advertising
for
visitors.
In
fact,
I
saw
one
of
our
neighbors
had
a
brochure
that
said
was
titled
and
garden,
alameda,
walking,
tour
and
then
the
other
thing
I
want
to
say
is
and
well.
I
think
we
were
shocked
when
we.
We
all
want
this
area
some
development
to
go
there
to
see
a
five-story
hotel.
R
Coming
in
because
it
seems
so
inappropriate
for
at
the
end
of
a
street
where
it's
residential,
but
also
because
it's
it's
it's,
what
am
I
trying
to
say
it's
you've
got
single-story
houses
and
then
BAM
up
to
five
storeys
is
shocking,
but
I'm
concerned
about
the
traffic,
because
there's
not
enough
parking
for
the
rooms.
So
the
developer
thinks
that
people
are
going
to
take
other
kinds
of
transportation,
uber
and
and
other
types
of
ways
are
going
to
provide
to
get
people
where
they
want
to
go.
R
I
A
R
Am
Kay
I
live
on
cheeley,
Avenue
and
I'm
opposed
to
this
project,
because
I
believe
it
is
it
appropriate
for
the
location
which
is
in
and
adjoining
to
historic
subdivisions.
So
first
I
want
you
to
know
that,
while
these
subdivisions
are
not
yet
officially
designated
historic
districts
are
Paquette
to
be
considered
for,
such
as
now
in
the
hands
of
Juliette
Arroyo,
the
city's
historic
planner
she
as
well
as
Salazar,
nowit's
and
Courtney
dan
Kroger
before
her
believed
us
worthy
of
that
designation.
R
Second
I
want
you
to
please
honor
the
general
plan,
because
this
historic
neighborhood
would
benefit
from
a
zoning
compliant
business
at
our
gateway,
a
business
that
has
a
strong
connection
to
and
provides
services
and
amenities
for
our
community,
which
is
what
the
plan
designates
and
by
contrast,
this
proposed
hotel,
as
stated
by
its
architect,
is
solely
for
the
benefit
of
those
from
outside
the
community.
Who
will
is
it
Google,
which
is
located
more
than
a
mile
away?
R
The
general
plan
allows
for
hotel
development
within
the
downtown,
and
that
includes
Google
Village,
and
you
just
heard
for
one
of
those
hotels
tonight.
Additionally,
the
specific
plans
for
the
Deardon
station
area,
the
Alameda
urban
village,
provide
for
hotels
near
Google,
as
well
as
dining
and
other
services
needed
by
outside
visitors.
Unlike
our
residential
neighborhood,
please
do
not
ignore
the
land
use
laid
out
in
the
general
plan.
It
puts
our
historic
neighborhood
at
risk.
R
It
sets
a
dangerous
precedent
for
the
city
when
you
allow
deviations
from
the
plan
to
satisfy
the
desires
of
a
single
developer,
you
place
the
quality
of
the
plan
in
question.
You
open
avenues
for
other
exceptions
and
you
leave
the
city
without
a
viable
roadmap,
envision
San
Jose,
2040
States.
The
primary
general
plan
goal
is
to
preserve
historically
significant
districts
in
order
to
promote
a
greater
sense
of
historic
awareness
and
community
identity
and
to
enhance
the
quality
of
urban
living.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
House
Hotel
does
none
of
this.
B
Hi
good
evening,
commissioners,
first
of
all
just
want
to
thank
you
so
much
for
your
work
and
your
time,
and
thank
you
for
those
of
you
who
have
responded
to
my
email
regarding
this
issue.
I
want
to
make
it
clear
that
I
am
NOT
against
development.
Many
of
us
are
not.
We
know
that
San
Jose
is
growing
and
we
live
near
the
downtown
core.
That's
happening.
B
That
is
made
clear
in
the
2014
general
plan
that
the
east
side
of
Stockton
Avenue
should
have
higher
density
commercial
uses.
The
west
side
of
Stockton
Avenue
should
remain
623.
Stockton
is
now
a
Victorian
home
should
remain
residential
and
615
is
called
ncc,
which
other
people
have
described
here.
I,
don't
need
to
do
that
again.
B
I
think
that
approving
this
project
would
be
detrimental
to
our
neighborhood,
but
not
only
to
ours
to
other
neighborhoods
in
San
Jose
in
the
future.
A
great
city
is
not
built.
Hodgepodge
building
a
great
city,
as
you
commissioners
well
know,
takes
careful
planning,
lots
of
time
lots
of
money
and
lots
of
research.
That
is
what
San
Jose
general
plan.
Is
it's
the
careful
planning
to
grow
a
great
city?
I
understand
that
general
plans
are
reviewed,
I
believe
it's
once
every
four
years.
B
A
P
You,
my
name,
is
Matt
Poehler,
CEO
and
I
have
lived
on
Schiele
Avenue,
with
my
wife
and
family
for
36
years
and
in
those
years
I've
worked
diligently
on
doing
restoration
type
of
work
on
those
houses,
a
lot
houses
on
the
block
on
Schiele,
Avenue
and
Schiele
on
the
north
side
of
Schiele.
It
was,
it
was
started
being
developed
in
1888
and
on
the
other
side
of
Schiele
on
to
the
other
neighborhoods
they
were,
they
started
I
think
in
the
early
20s
and
went
to
the
late,
20s
and
so
I
have
my
bias.
P
Single-Family
design
guidelines
in
San,
Jose
and
I'm,
not
gonna,
read
yet
I'll
read
you
the
table
of
contents,
and
one
is
neighborhood
patterns,
elements
of
house
design,
relationships
to
adjacent
properties
and
architectural
styles
and
so
I.
You
know
someone
took
a
lot
of
work
in
in
creating
these
kind
of
standards
and
I
believe
in
their
importance,
and
it
is
a
terrific
neighborhood
and
even
though
it
goes
from
Victorian
to
1930s,
there
seems
to
be
still
architectural
II
a
relationship
there,
and
when
you
see
this
building
on
Stockton
Avenue,
it
wouldn't
be
even
a
distant
relative.
E
E
I
understand
that
the
Planning
Commission
morals
don't
come
into
your
decisions,
it's
a
legality
issue,
and
when
it
comes
to
this
project,
you
do
not
have
to
rezone
six
to
three
Stockton
to
be
commercial,
and
that
is
what
I
implore
you
not
to
do.
We
are
in
a
housing
crisis.
Do
not
reason
that
building
because
this
mayor
and
the
City
Council
wants
you
to
because
economic
development
cannot
come
when
it
hurts
people.
E
H
I
went
out
and
told
him
about
this
meeting
and
asked
him
to
email
you
and
it
is
a
great
place,
so
it
would
be
to
the
detriment
of
many
to
the
benefit
of
one.
It's
totally
inappropriate,
but
I
won't
belabor
that
but
I
wanted
to
talk.
People
talked
about
the
neighborhood
I
want
to
talk
about
the
people
in
the
neighborhood
I've
been
there
to
20
years.
It's
when
I
come
home
from
work
and
I
get
off
the
Alameda
and
turn
on
Schiele.
H
H
O
O
O
But
I
would
like
to
represent
that
the
closeness
of
this
neighborhood,
the
love
we
have
for
our
neighborhood,
the
the
feeling
we
have
that
this
is
an
oasis,
a
historic
place,
a
special
place
to
us
and
that
this
hotel
just
feels
completely
out
of
place
I'm
not
against
hotels,
I'm,
not
against.
You
know
using
the
land
for
something
that's
appropriate.
This
is
not
the
appropriate
use
for
this
land,
and
you
know
I
came
here
with
all
these
talking
points
that
my
neighbors
have
brought
up.
O
Much
more
knowledgeably
and
they're
much
more
well-spoken
than
I
am
but
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
the
the
neighborhood
is
very
important
to
us,
and
you
know
I'm
I'm
a
high
school
teacher
when
one
person
speaks
it
when
one
student
in
my
class
speaks
I
know,
it
often
represents
the
thoughts
of
at
least
five
other
people
I'm
representing
some
of
those
thoughts
from
Harding
Avenue
and
from
Pershing
Avenue
and
the
neighbors
I've
spoken
with
there.
So
we
are
in
solidarity
with
our
she'll
and
neighbors
as
well
and
I
know.
O
A
J
You,
chair
ballard,
commissioner
members,
my
name
is
edward
sound,
I'm
the
vice
president,
director
of
planning
and
land
use
for
the
chef
they
had
their
Park
Neighborhood,
Association,
of
which
the
property
is
within
the
Association
boundaries,
I'm
thrilled
that
I
can
cross
off
a
bunch
of
my
usual
talking
points,
because
the
neighbors
have
addressed
both
of
them.
Thank
you
for
that.
To
claim
that
the
deliveries
required
to
operate
a
120,
70
thousand
square
foot
hotel
would
not
have
an
impact
on
two-lane
Stockton
Avenue
as
it
stayed
in
the
mitigated
negative
declaration.
J
Station
as
justification
for
the
requested
parking
reduction,
anyone
who's
taken
Caltrain
as
I
have
for
the
last
11
years
at
least
four
days
a
week.
That's
first
go
best:
it's
an
undersized
station.
It
will
not
accommodate
the
six
to
seven
car
EMU
train
sets
that
are
18
months
out.
It
does
not
accommodate
the
current
six-car
trains.
It
cannot.
J
It
does
not
have
weekend
service,
it's
only
bellman
related
service
and
as
we
both
of
us
know,
they
nearly
closed
the
station
just
a
handful
of
years
ago
until
there
was
such
an
upsurge
from
Bellarmine
about
keeping
it
for
students.
So
to
cite
that,
as
a
reason
to
drastically
undercut
the
parking
is
again
unrealistic.
J
The
scope
of
concerns
was
from
the
community
meeting,
resulted
in
window
changes,
that's
quite
literally
window
dressing.
That's
what
we're
talking
about
the
this
scope
of
comments.
I
have
been
at
the
meetings
from
August
on
the
comments
have
not
wavered,
have
not
changed
and
we
got
window
dressing
as
the
change.
One
thing,
I
won't
go
over
the
very
long
letter
I'd
sent
to
tie
into
the
commissioners
yesterday,
Thank
You
Commissioner
Allen,
for
responding
to
the
letter.
J
I
would
want
to
put
into
the
verbal
comments
the
two
reports
from
the
Maloney
tribe
of
the
San
Cisco
Bay
Area,
that
I
included,
which
identify
the
inventory
dental
review
and
skeletal
inventory
of
findings
on
CD
that
date
back
over
1300
years,
yet
that
wasn't
included
in
any
of
the
sequin
alysus.
That
strikes
me
as
rather
alarming.
J
One
of
the
things
that
should
be
mentioned
before
this
commission
is
the
NCC,
so
we
can
go
over
there,
but
taking
away
a
residential
zone
and
to
further
that
is
the
problem
and
should
be
one
of
the
angles
that
has
approached
using
zoning
as
intended
is
fine,
taking
away
something
a
different
zone.
Zoning
to
further
one
that
does
have
a
negative
impact
on
the
surrounding
properties.
I
take
issue
with
got.
F
J
D
J
P
E
So
I
live
at
some
45
Celie.
That
is
the
other
property
on
Schiele
that
shares
the
boundary
with
the
hotel.
My
neighbor
and
sitting
up
at
the
top
I
think
stated
our
concerns
about
you-know-who
next
door
stayed
our
concerns
about
noise
levels.
You
know
their
quality
of
life
very
eloquently.
I
would
like
to
add.
We
have
two
children,
an
eight-year-old
and
the
six-year-old
there's
a
walkway
that
runs
along
the
side
of
the
hotel
along
our
backyard
that
connects
to
a
terrace.
They
cut.
That's
all
that
connects
to
the
lobby.
They
connects
to
the
hotel
bar.
E
We
are
during
the
Sun.
We,
our
house
was
built
in
1924.
It
does
not
have
air
conditioning.
We
are
very
concerned
about
the
amount
of
noise,
the
people,
the
smoking.
You
know
the
people
who
are
drinking
in
the
bar
coming
along
out
onto
the
terrace
along
the
walkway
and
being
within
such
close
proximity
to
our
children.
Who
will
be
sleeping.
You
know
three
months,
four
months
out
of
the
year
with
the
windows
open.
E
The
other
concern
we
have
is
the
traffic
in
the
uber
traffic,
our
kids
play
with
their
friends
who
live
directly
across
the
street.
They
cross
the
street
multiple
times
a
day.
The
easiest
way
to
get
out
to
the
free
weight
is
take
a
right
on
Schiele.
Take
a
right
on
the
alameda.
That's
going
to
change
the
character,
you
know
the
the
traffic
flows,
it
makes
it
much
more
dangerous,
for
our
children
makes
it
much
more
dangerous
for
the
children
across
the
street.
Our
neighbor
next
door
has
three
grandchildren.
They
were
growing
up.
E
A
S
Commissioners,
good
evening,
my
name
is
Cory
Craig
I'm
principal
with
axis
gf,
a
were
the
architects
who
have
designed
this
project.
My
associate
Rory
O'connell,
who
you
heard
from
earlier,
is
the
design
associate
on
the
project
and
I'd
like
to
introduce
mr.
Alan
Wynn.
It
was
the
project
sponsor
he
is
here.
He
is
a
resident
of
the
community
and
we'd
like
how
much
time
do
we
have
five
minutes?
Okay,
so.
S
Thank
you
for
all
the
feedback
from
the
neighbors,
the
folks
who
have
spent
their
time
this
evening
to
come
in
and
share
their
concerns
about
this
project
with
us.
We
do
appreciate
it.
We
heard
from
you
all
at
the
neighborhood
associated
and
the
neighborhood
outreach
meeting
that
was
held
back
in
August,
so
I
can
assure
you
that
all
of
these
comments
that
we're
hearing
tonight
are
very
consistent
with
what
we
heard
back
then,
and
we
listened
hard
then,
and
we
believe
that
we
have
a
project
that
actually
is
very
appropriate
for
this
site.
S
It's
consistent
with
the
zoning.
The
neighborhood
serving
commercial
is
the
key
issue
if,
as
I
believe
I
hope,
you
believe
that
a
hotel
is
actually
a
perfectly
appropriate
use
for
a
neighborhood
commercial
zoned
site.
Then
you
would
accept
that
the
notion
of
a
hotel
being
a
fantastic
neighbor
is
consistent
with
that
zoning.
We
respect
and
have
complete
admiration
for
all
the
residents
of
this
community,
and
the
last
thing
that
we
would
want
to
do
is
do
what
they're
claiming
were
attempting
to
do,
which
is
to
ruin
their
neighborhood
and
destroy
their
lives.
S
It
will
be,
in
my
view,
an
oasis
if
they
and
you
allow
us
to
build
it.
Why?
Because
it
will
become
a
place
where
people
gather
people
come
friends
from
out
of
town,
will
book
and
stay
at
this
hotel.
They
will
be
invited
to
come
as
their
guests
to
hang
out
to
enjoy
it
to
eat
there.
If
they
choose
to
perhaps
have
a
drink,
there
go
up
to
the
roof
and
hang
out
there
and
be
amongst
us
all
of
us
together
neighbors.
It
makes
perfect
sense.
S
The
comment
and
question
from
Commissioner
Bernie
I
think
was
spot
on.
We
have
along
Stockton,
which
is
a
changing
thoroughfare.
Already,
a
more
intense
use
across
the
street
I
think
the
long-term
vision
of
the
general
plan
was
to
see
the
neighborhood
commercial
uses
along
the
west
side
of
Stockton
become
more
predominant
and
act
as
an
appropriate
buffer
to
the
lower
density
single-family
residential
to
to
the
west,
and
so
to
conclude.
I
do
believe
in
the
vision
of
Meral
Accardo.
I
do
believe
that
finding
balance
in
development
and
bringing
jobs
to
the
community
is
a
priority.
S
The
the
constant
reference
to
it
being
a
bar
I
would
like
to
diffuse.
While,
yes,
there
are
alcohol
sales
as
part
of
a
typical
hotel
operation.
This
is
far
from
a
bar.
People
are
not
coming
here
from
outside
to
drink.
At
a
bar,
they
are
guests
of
a
hotel
who
will
enjoy
a
glass
of
wine
with
their
meal
and
then
go
home.
I
go
upstairs
quietly
to
go
to
sleep
like
the
rest
of
everybody
who
lives
in
this
name,
because
a
hotel
is
not
a
noisy
use.
It's
a
quiet,
appropriate
neighbor.
S
The
brand
that
our
client
has
chosen
to
select
for
this
site
is
called
even-even
is
a
wellness
oriented
brand
by
IHG,
and
it
espouses
all
of
the
values
that
we
have
heard
here
tonight
about
health,
wellness
and
being
of
the
community.
So
the
vision
of
this
hotel
is
to
be
of
this
community
and
I
want
everybody
to
know
that
mr.
Wynn
is
very
sincere
about
being
a
great
neighbor.
A
J
P
Right,
that's
a
fair
question:
it
is
a
five-story
building,
it
could
be
a
four-story
building,
but
it'll
be
50
feet.
You
know
there.
There
is
a
scale
that
its
own
forensic
opiate
for
this
use,
a
five
storey
craftsman
or
a
five
storey
Victorians.
What
we
call
pastiche,
it's
it's
it's
a
it's
a
crime
against
architecture,
so
along
Stockton's
it
is
a
very
contemporary
building.
It
was
a
metal
canopy.
It's
a
white
plaster
finish.
P
We
did
not
do
a
full
Victorian
rear
along
Schiele.
We
did
transplant
we're
planning
to
transplant
the
historic
house
as
a
buffer
in
both
scale
and
style,
and
then
we're
starting
to
echo
that
in
the
facade
with
some
more
residential
looking
features
like
the
angled
roof,
like
the
role
of
garage
doors
like
horizontal,
siding
and
wood
accents
again,
it's
not
a
Victorian,
it's
not
something
masquerading
as
a
Victorian
building,
but
it
is
meant
to
soften
as
it
trends
across
the
site.
You.
J
S
There's
no
doubt
that
this
site
is
viable
as
a
hotel,
and
that
is
proof
by
the
amount
of
interest
there
are
by
the
hotel
companies
who
have
courted
mr.
Winn
and
the
market
studies
that
we
have
behind
us.
That
show
that
there
is
demand
in
this
market
for
more
hotel
rooms.
So
his
thinking
I
believe,
is
that
a
hotel
is
an
is
an
appropriate
use,
not
only
appropriate
use,
but
a
nice
addition
to
the
neighborhood
and
much
more
viable
as
a
business
than
any
of
the
other
possible
commercial
uses.
S
E
S
J
S
H
A
N
A
O
O
As
a
collector
street
I'm,
sorry
I
couldn't
hear
you
I'm
sorry
Stockton
avenues
designated
as
a
collector
Street,
a
collector
minor,
a
major
minor.
Thank
you
also.
It
wasn't
exactly
clear
to
me
from
the
staff
report
as
to
why
this
project
requires
a
special
use
permit.
What
is
it
about
the
proposed
use
that
triggered
the
SUV
the.
I
O
O
I
Staff
looked
fully
at
the
definition
of
neighborhood
community
commercial.
This
reads:
as
the
neighborhood
community
commercial
designation
supports
a
very
broad
range
of
commercial
activity,
including
commercial
uses
that
serve
the
community
in
neighboring
areas
such
as
neighborhoods
serving
retail
and
services
and
commercial
professional
office
development.
Neighborhood
neighborhood
community
commercial
uses
typically
have
a
strong
connection
to
and
provide
services
and
amenities
to
the
nearby
community
and
should
be
designed
to
promote
that
connection
with
the
appropriate
urban
form
that
support
walking,
transit
use
and
public
interaction.
I
General
office
uses
hospitals
and
private
community
gathering
facilities
are
also
allowed
under
this
designation.
The
designation
also
has
a
floor
area
ratio
definition
so
holistically.
Looking
at
the
neighborhood
community
commercial
use,
it
allows
a
broad
range
of
commercial
uses.
This
has
been
done
in
other
neighbor
hotels
have
been
done
in
other
NCC
neighborhood
community
commercial
land
use
designations.
I
Lastly,
kind
of
in
general
staff
looked
at
making
sure
that
the
project
meant
the
floor
area
ratio
and
that
it
was
a
use
allowed
in
both
the
commercial
neighborhood
zoning
district,
which
the
site
currently
is
and
as
well
as
the
commercial
pedestrian
zoning
district
which
they're
proposing
to
move
to,
so
that
they
can
come
closer
to
Schiele
and
stockton
avenue,
and
they
actually
would
be
provided
to
required
to
provide
greater
setbacks
from
the
residents.
With
that
new
zoning
district.
Now.
O
T
Jared
Hart
planning,
building
code
enforcement,
yeah
I
think
with
generally
with
the
neighborhood
community,
commercial
designation.
While
you
know
it
includes
the
references
that
it
includes
uses
that
would
be,
you
know
typical
would
serve
nearby
neighborhoods.
It
includes
a
it
allows.
A
broad
range
of
uses.
Even
hospitals
would
be
one
example
that
it
that
it
calls
out,
which
typically
might
not
be
neighborhood
serving
I'll.
T
O
A
One
heard
from
a
lot
of
folks
who
came
down
and
testified
terminology
around
zoning
and
general
plan,
amendment
and
I'm
just
wondering
because
I
feel
like
there
might
have
been
some
confusion
on
what
exactly
we're
doing,
what
what
exactly
these
things
mean
and
what
our
authority
is
here
and
why
this
might
be
different
in
terms
of
a
general
plan.
Amendment
versus
zoning,
so
I
was
hoping.
A
I
The
project
site
has
two
parcels,
and
so
I'll
start
with
the
general
plan
amendment.
So
this
is
the
overarching
kind
of
plan
for
the
city.
The
corner
parcel
the
one
on
Stockton
and
Schiele
that
one
has
a
neighborhood
community
commercial
general
plan
designation,
so
that
one
will
not
be
changed
in
this
proposed
general
plan
amendment
the
one
next
to
it,
six
to
three
I
hope:
I'm,
not
mixing
up
my
addresses
a
rectangle.
The
rectangle
is
currently
a
residential
neighborhood
general
plan.
Land
use
designation
is
typically
support.
I
Densities
up
to
816
dwelling
units
per
acre
if
the
rest
of
the
community
has
that.
But
typically
you
see
this
for,
like
single-family
neighborhoods,
the
applicant
is
proposing
to
change
that
parcel
to
match
the
corner
parcel
to
be
a
neighborhood
community
commercial,
and
that
has
that
big
definition.
I
just
read
a
few
moments
ago.
Step
two
is
a
conforming
rezoning,
so
both
of
those
parcels,
the
corner
parcel
and
the
long
rectangle
are
commercial,
commercial,
neighborhood
zoning
districts
so
that
long
rectangle
parcel
is
currently
not
in
conformance
with
its
general
plan
layer.
I
I
If
you
look
at
these
zoning
districts
side-by-side
they're,
both
commercial
zoning
districts,
the
commercial
pedestrian
zoning
district
places,
a
higher
emphasis
on
pedestrian
walkability,
and
so
the
biggest
difference
turns
out
to
be
mostly
on
the
front
setbacks
along
streets
because
they
want
to
push
the
buildings
up
to
create
walkability
and
the
commercial
pedestrian.
Zoning
district
also
doesn't
allow
auto
uses
so
by
switching
to
the
zoning
district.
They'll
actually
get
more
restrictive
than
they
currently
are,
and
then
the
last
part
is
the
special
use
permit.
I
So
every
development
in
the
city,
except
for
single-family
homes
under
a
certain
size,
have
to
get
some
type
of
review
by
the
city
for
for
the
proposed
development.
In
this
case,
it's
a
special
use
permit,
so
that
will
review
the
the
hotels
form
overall
and
it's
a
special
use
permit,
because
it's
for
the
outdoor
uses
that
are
commercial
within
150
feet
of
residential.
I
A
You
so
some
other
questions.
What
so,
under
the
current
general
plan
designation
that
exists
there
today,
because
my
understanding
is
that
that
that's
the
that
kind
of
takes
precedent.
That's
what
we
first
looked
to
right.
That's
takes
precedence,
I
guess
so,
ideally
when
we,
when,
when
we
as
a
city
in
some
way,
shape
or
form
established
that
designation,
do
you
know
like
what
was
the
city
thinking
in
terms
of
you
know:
gee
we
have
this
neighborhood.
It's
got
these
really
wonderful
old
hundred-year-old
homes.
A
T
Yes,
so
the
the
the
starting
with
the
rectangle,
a
lot
I
think
623,
Stockton
I
believe
thank
you,
okay,
so
six
615
Stockton
the
where
the
current
home
is
located,
the
historic
home,
that's
designated
residential,
neighborhood
and
I.
Think
it's
designated
that
way
because
of
the
the
current
use
on
the
site
being
at
being
a
single-family
home
and
then
the
corner
parcels
probably
historically
been
commercial,
and
so
it
was
given
the
neighborhood
community,
commercial
designation,
which
is
designation.
Typically,
it's
a
commercial
designated
designation.
O
Just
want
to
clarify
it:
that's
a
signify
home.
The
form
is
single,
fly
me
home,
but
it's
actually
active
as
a
commercial
use.
So
I
think
at
the
time
when
the
general
plan,
which
is
the
broad
brush,
as
we've
always
said,
over
the
neighborhood,
we
looked
at
the
form,
a
single
family
and
it
was
just
put
there,
but
now
we're
in
the
context
of
an
actual
development
proposal
and.
A
Guess
I
still
wonder
you
know,
if
you
just
look
at
the
map,
you've
got
all
this
yellow
and
then
you've
got
this
one
corner,
that's
red
and
so
I.
Imagine
that
at
some
point
someone
was
like.
Oh
we've
got,
you
know
again
this
beautiful
neighborhood
with
these
older
homes,
and
but
this
segment
is
red
and
so
I
guess
I
just
felt
like
was
that
a
deliberate,
intentional
thing
that
someone
was
like
it
would
make
sense
to
do
whatever
X
is
here
in
this
sea
of
yellow.
A
You
know
Alameda
on
the
other
side,
but
there's
a
bit
of
a
dead
zone
in
terms
of
like
amenities,
neighborhood
serving
things
if
I
wanted
to
just
you
know,
I
mean
I
could
go
down
to
the
bakery
and
get
some
baklava
and
that's
good,
so
I'm,
just
I'm,
just
wondering
like
it
seems
to
me.
Someone
might
have
recognized
that
at
some
point
like
gee,
wouldn't
it
be
nice
to
have
something
here,
so
that
folks
don't
have
to
walk
way
over
there
or
way
over
there.
It
sounds
like
I'm,
not
necessarily
hearing
that
I
don't
know.
A
What
is
the
city's
vision
for
stuff
like
long
term
bit?
What,
ideally,
would
we
like
to
look
like?
We've
got
the
you
know
the
industrial
side,
and
then
we've
got
the
buffer
side
and
on
the
buffer
side
like
what
makes
a
great
buffer
their
over
time.
What
would
what
we,
as
as
planners
as
people
like
envisioning,
what
that
Street
should
look
like
what
ideally
should
that
be
I.
T
Think
that
the
general
plan
speaks
to
that
in
terms
of
through
the
the
land
use,
designations
and
other
goals
and
policies,
I
mean
that
the
TEC
land
use
designation,
transit
employment
center
land
use
designation.
That's
a
located
across
the
street
allows
significantly
more
intensive
uses,
so
I
think
the
the
designations
along
Stockton's
would
essentially
offer
a
buffer
to
the
to
the
existing
single-family
neighborhood
in
the
form
of
I
mean
on
the
corner.
You
have
NC
C
and
then
a
lot
of
the
other,
the
residential
neighborhood
designations,
again
I
think
a
match.
T
What
the
existing
uses
are
today,
so
I
would
say
that
the
proposed
use
is
the
intensity
of
the
proposed
use
is,
would
be
a
step
down
from
what
would
be
allowed
under
the
transit
employment
center
designation
across
Stockton.
It's
a
much
less
intensive
use
being
proposed
on
the
neighborhood
community,
commercial
designated
property,
so
that
would
you
know
effectively
serve
as
a
buffer
in
terms
of
intensities.
So.
A
I
guess
again
going
back
to
like,
if
you
just
ride
a
bike
down
Stockton,
for
example,
if
one
we're
going
for
a
bike
ride
down
Stockton,
you
know
starting
at
Whole
Foods.
You
see
all
this
really
nice,
more
intense
housing
and
three
and
four-story
stuff.
That's
relatively
new
stuff.
That's
in
construction
I
mean
do
you
as
planners.
Do
you
say
yep?
We
should
continue
that
domino
effect.
All
the
way
down.
T
Would
agree
that
mean
that
the
proposed
use
is
by
consistent
with
a
lot
of
the
development
along
Stockton?
Now,
on
the
on
the
west
side,
there
and
again
it
said
you
know
we
would
be
looking
at
proposals
with
their
consistency
with
their
the
general
plan
and
then
in
this
case
there
you
know,
there's
a
general
plan
amendment
proposed
and
we're
weighing
our
goals
and
policies
around.
You
know
economic
development,
housing
goals,
compatibility
and
and
coming
to
conclusion,
based
on
those
policies
and.
A
Then
I'll
just
make
a
comment,
and
that
is
because
I
to
was
when
I
read
about
the
definition
and
I
found
the
arguments
from
the
neighbors
to
be
compelling
around
whether
or
not
hotel
is
really
a
neighborhood
serving
use
and
again
going
back
to
my
the
observations
that
I
was
sharing
about
this
area
kind
of
not
really
having
anything
right
there
to
you
know,
grab
a
drink
or
get
a
cup
of
coffee,
or
something
like
that.
So
with
that
I
will
call
on
Commissioner
as
well.
L
Thank
you
I'm,
so
I
actually
want
to
follow
up
the
chairs
questions
on
the
whether
the
whether
a
hotel
falls
within
the
NCC
designation,
because
what
I
see
sometimes
we
get
things
before
us
where
we
don't
know.
What's
going
to
go
on
the
particular
parcel,
and
in
this
case
we
know,
what's
going
to
go
on
there,
which
I
think
probably
is
disadvantaging
the
applicant
in
this
case,
so
I
kind
of
want
to
separate
the
questions
between
and
look
to
the
neighborhood
community.
L
Commercial
is
a
hotel,
something
that
can
always
always
go
in
that
designation
or
is
there
is?
Does
the
Planning
Commission
basically
have
the
authority
to
say
no,
this
isn't
a
use
that
would
fit
within
the
neighborhood
community
commercial,
because
if
we
don't
have
that
sort
of
authority
to
say
that's,
not
an
acceptable
use,
then
I
don't
think
we
should
be
denying
the
general
plan
amendment
on
the
basis
that
the
hotel
is
not
appropriate
for
the
FCC.
L
So
going
and
I
and
I
I
heard
your
recitation
of
the
what's
included
and
the
NCC
designation
and
one
of
the
words
that
caught
my
attention
was
including,
as
opposed
to
you,
it
must
be
a
use
that
has
a
connection
to
the
neighborhood.
I
also
saw
that
it
needed
to
be
typically
connected
to
the
community,
so
gets
going
back
to
staff
and
move
it
to
our
attorney
about
whether
the
hotel
is
a
usage
that
is
by
right,
permitted
under
an
NCC
designation.
L
I
You
so
kind
of
going
along
further
with
that.
This
is
a
conforming
rezoning,
so
the
zoning
ordinance
identifies
the
zoning
districts
that
conform
with
the
with
the
general
plan.
Land
use
designation,
so
a
CP
commercial
pedestrian,
as
well
as
a
CN
commercial,
neighborhood,
zoning
or
zoning
district
conform
with
NCC
and
both
of
those
zoning
districts
have
hotels
as
an
allowed
use,
not
a
special
permit
use,
not
a
conditional
permit
use
again.
The
outdoor
part
is
part
where
you
could
consider
the
appropriateness
of
the
outdoor
uses,
but
yeah.
If
you
take
it
a
step
further.
The.
C
I
think
the
question
was
under
the
NCC
land
use
designation
is
a
hotel
or
permitted
use
under
the
general
plan.
Land
use,
designation,
I
think
we're
all
clear
on
the
zoning
district
allows
the
hotel,
but
I,
think
what's
unclear,
and
the
discussion
here
is:
is
a
hotel
or
permitted
use
under
the
general
plan
list,
land
use
designation
of
NCC.
T
H
T
The
the
zoning
ordinance
effectively
implements
the
general
plan
and
in
this
case
CP
is
you
know
it's
a
conforming
zoning
district
to
the
neighborhood
community
commercial
and
then
that
you
know
the
general
plan
describes
kind
of
the
broad
range
of
uses
that
are
allowed
and
then
the
zoning
codes
going
to
take
that
further
step
and
really
define
what
executor
law
and
what
types
of
permits
are
needed
for
those
particular
uses,
and
in
this
case
hotel
use
is
allowed
in
that
in
that
zoning
district
that
is,
implementing
the
neighborhood
community
commercial
land
use
designation.
Also.
L
Correct
in
making
our
decision
as
commissioners,
we
really
should
not
be
looking
at
what
the
proposed
usage
is
on
the
property
as
a
determinant
of
whether
we
grant
the
general
plan
amendment
or
not,
because
the
applicant
could
always
withdraw
their
site,
development
permit
or
special
use
permit
and
they
could
change
it.
I
mean
that's.
C
General
plan
amendment
is
a
legislative
act
which
gives
the
Planning
Commission
significant
deference
in
terms
of
the
different
rationale
to
support
your
decision,
you're
not
buying
by
any
no
findings
that
are
required
to
approve
or
deny
a
general
plan
amendment,
unlike
a
permit.
That
requires
specific
findings.
So
there's
significant
deference
to
the
Planning
Commission
to
weigh
a
number
of
different
factors
in
either
approving
or
denying
or
recommending,
approving
or
denying
and
general
plan
amendment.
L
I
guess
get
a
little
bit
more
information
on
the
record
about
the
general
plan
and
the
potential
development
of
the
site
across
on
Stockton
I
think
a
maybe
it
was
a
year
or
year
and
a
half
ago,
when
there
was
a
city
initiated
a
general
plan,
amendment
that
changed
that
big
swath
of
land
to
transit,
employment
center.
But
my
understanding
and
and
looking
what
can
be
done
on
that
particular
site,
is
that
it's
extremely
high
density
and
it
includes
the
ability
to
put
large
hotels
that
must
be
at
least
four
storeys
over
200
rooms.
L
So
if
you
could
speak
to
I
guess
what
the
what
the
future
holds
potentially
for
the
area
across
on
Stockton,
because
I
think
that
does
inform
whether
this
particular
area
of
Stockton
should
be
a
buffer
or
whether
it
is
we
need
to
know.
We
need
to
know
what
is
buffering
and
what
it's
transitioning
from.
T
The
transit
employment
center
general
plan,
leonie's
designation.
It
allows
for
area
ratio
up
to
twelve
point
O
in
it
it
they
you're
corrected
that
the
uses
allowed
under
the
TEC
land
use
designation
are
much
more
intensive
and
our
you
know
support
the
designation
supports
intensive
uses
office
Rd,
those
types
of
uses
would
be
would
be
allowed
and
envisioned
in
the
TEC
land
use
designation.
So
you
have
a
much
more
intensive
use
than
something
in
the
neighborhood
community.
Commercial,
designation.
J
You
chair,
thank
you
all
members
of
the
public
who
came
to
speak
this
evening,
I'd
like
to
let
planning
staff
know
that
I'm
not
receiving
these
emails.
So
if
I
could
talk
to
someone
after
that
would
be
great,
I
did
read
all
the
comments
that
were
part
of
the
report
and
obviously
listened
to
your
comments.
J
I
think
Marshall
would
Nancy
denotes
the
sort
of
overall
realm
of
the
Planning
Commission
as
a
difference
between
that
and
City
Council
and
legal
versus
moral,
and
my
viewpoint
has
been
to
if
it
matches
what's
designated
on
the
map
and
professional
planning
staff
makes
recommendations.
Then
that's
especially
when
there's
the
step
of
the
City
Council.
J
Then
it's
really
the
deference
of
the
City
Council
to
approve
or
deny
recently
in
the
news
we
saw
similar
items
come
before
the
council
on
20
story:
hotels,
next
to
historic
buildings,
with
zero
lot
line
and
no
parking
and
the
Planning
Committee
and
the
City
Council
approved
both
of
those
unanimously
with
some
with
opposition.
So
my
belief
is
the
City.
Council
really
needs
to
weigh
on
this
item.
Planning
Commission
can
certainly
make
a
recommendation,
but
when
a
project
meets
height
exceeds
the
set
backs
architecture,
we
don't
really
have
a
viewpoint
on.
J
You
should
be
the
one
speaking
on
this,
because
you
were
at
the
general
plan
task
force
for
four
years
and
you're
doing
the
update
that
Stockton
Avenue
was
planned
for
major
changes
and
I.
Think
if
we
don't
have
that
discussion
from
you
providing
feedback
to
the
community,
then
that's
a
loss
for
really
because
then
it's
setting
us
up
to
look
bad
to
the
neighborhood,
when
the
fact
in
reality
is
that
the
general
plan
is
really
implanting
to
do
intense
development
on
both
sides
of
Stockton,
Avenue
and
so
I'm.
C
Do
want
to
clarify
something:
the
Planning
Commission
is
an
advisory
body
to
the
City
Council
on
the
recommendations
today.
So
this
Planning
Commission
is
not
in
a
role
to
approve
a
deny
this
project,
so
your
roisy
advisory
bodies
to
make
a
recommendation
to
the
City
Council,
so
that
recommendation
could
be
approval
or
denial
the
project
or
something
in
between,
but
you're,
not
approving
or
denying
the
project
tonight,
you're
simply
making
a
recommendation
to
the
city
council.
A
So
I
wanted
to
ask
a
clarifying
question
following
up
on
some
of
Commissioner
Griswolds
questions
of
the
city
attorney
and
so
getting
at
what
Commissioner
Griswold
was
asking
about.
You
know
we
could
oftentimes
a
general
plan.
Amendment
can
come
to
us
where
we
don't
actually
know
what
the
future
use
is
going
to
be,
and
her
question
around
like
can't
necessarily
deny
something
based
on
what
they.
A
What
you
think
that
use
is
going
to
be
we're
just
considering
allowing
permission
for
this
broad
things
that
follow
and
fall
under
this
this
category
or
this
distinction
so
just
to
clarify
if
the
applicant
had
come
forward
with
no
project
just
just
and
asked
for
changing
the
rectangular
parcel
that
that
is.
That
is
normal,
that,
as
usual,
that
is
something
that
they
could
have
done.
C
Yes,
so
I
do
want
to
clarify
for
the
Planning
Commission
is
when
it
comes
to
changing
the
general
plan,
the
City
Council
and
the
Planning
Commission
in
terms
of
discretion.
You
have
ultimate
discretion
on
whether
you
want
to
approve
a
general
plan
amendment
or
not.
That's
the
one
document
where
the
city
has
a
lot
of
deference
in
control
over
in
terms
of
hierarchy
and
land
use
right.
You
have
the
general
plan,
the
zoning
and
then
council
policies
in
terms
of
a
general
plan.
Amendment
there's
no
findings
required.
C
There
is
no
substantial
evidence
or
anything
like
that.
I
mean
they're,
asking
for
a
legislative
change,
a
change
in
law.
You
have
the
ultimate
discretion
on
approving
a
general
plan
amendment
or
not.
If
the
applicant
proposes
a
general
plan
amendment
without
a
specific
project
or
with
the
project,
it
really
makes
no
difference.
You
have
the
same
discretion
on
whether
you
want
to
prove
the
joint
plan
amendment.
C
When
you
approve
that
general
plan
amendment,
then
it
gives
a
little
bit
more
strict
when
you
come
to
the
zoning
and
a
little
bit
more
strictly
comes
with
a
permit,
but
none
of
that
really
comes
into
play
until
you
approve
the
general
plan.
Amendment
will
allows
the
project
to
even
move
forward,
so
the
Planning
Commission
that
Council
have
almost
ultimate
discretion
in
terms
of
whether
you
should
change
the
general
plan
or
not.
A
So
say
the
say
in
this
case
the
applicant
had
come
forward
with
a
general
plan
amendment
with
no
no
project.
Just
I
want
to
change
the
general
plan
designation
for
this
rectangular
segment,
so
it'll
match
the
neighboring,
the
the
square
piece
and
that
was
approved
and
then
came
back
to
us
and
said:
hey
I,
want
to
how
to
put
a
hotel
here
and
so
I
need
this.
Particular
zoning.
A
A
C
So
it's
really
gonna
be
a
feeder
street
in
to
Deer
it
on
into
downtown
this
site.
We're
talking
about
tonight,
which
is
commercial
that
may
go
back
to
1929,
I,
don't
know,
but
the
reality
is.
If
you
look
at
old,
neighborhoods
they're,
not
yellow
completely.
If
you
look
at
the
neighborhood,
I
live
in
a
North
Side,
there's
a
smattering
of
commercial
uses
within
the
neighborhood,
so
it's
very
typical
of
1920s
30s
neighborhoods
to
have
commercial
development
and
I.
C
Think
a
hotel
like
this
would
provide
a
buffer
from
the
much
more
intense
employment
office
type
uses
that
are
envisioned
across
Stockton
Avenue
Hotel
uses
are
a
use
that
it
was
supported
by
the
neighborhood
community.
Commercial
land
use
designation,
it's
not
limited
if
you
define
a
hotel
is
not
neighborhood
serving
which
I
would
for
with
that.
It
does
not
mean
that
the
NCC
does
not
support
it,
as
commissioner
Griswold
says
it
could
include
or
includes,
but
it's
not
limited
to
so
I
just
want
to
make
those
clarifying
comments.
Q
J
Want
to
say,
I
really
appreciate,
Michael
and
making
those
comments
in
providing
context.
I
think
that's
the
role
professional
planning
staff
is,
to
you
know,
remind
Commission
Council.
These
are
things
that
you
passed,
and
this
is
the
vision
of
the
city,
so
just
because
each
individual
project
on
its
own
may
feel
like
wow.
L
Also
just
want
to
make
one
additional
point,
which
is
when
we
to
the
point
about
the
neighborhood:
it's
really
really
close
to
the
airport,
this
particular
site
and
and
if
we
define
our
neighborhood,
as
you
know,
more
than
just
a
couple
streets,
it
does
serve
the
neighborhood.
It
does
serve
the
airport
and
and
I
know
that
it
is
one
of
the
at
least
from
what
I
read
in
the
paper
that
there's
a
lot
of
plans
to
expand
the
airport
and
the
usage
of
it.
L
O
You,
madam
chair
I,
want
to
make
a
point
about
what
the
neighborhood
is:
anticipating
I
live
in
a
very
old
single-family,
neighborhood,
very
close
to
downtown
and
a
block
and
a
half
from
Santa
Clara,
Street
and
there's
I
can
see
the
cranes
going
up
very
close
to
my
neighborhood
and
there's
intense
development
all
up
and
down
Santa
Clara
Street.
It
goes
up
and
then
it
goes
down,
and
you
know
it's
not-
that
bad
I
I
can't
explain
that
the
experience
of
having
urban
development
close
by
is
not
something
that
is
destroying
my
neighborhood.
O
There
were
times
during
redevelopment
the
days
of
redevelopment
when
people
thought
that
you
know
the
city
was
going
to
jump
in
our
neighborhood
and
destroy
it
completely,
but
it
hasn't
happened.
A
neighborhood
with
internal
cohesion
isn't
gonna
fall
apart,
because
a
five-story
building
goes
up
a
block
and
a
half
from
your
house,
honest,
honest,
I
I
live
in
a
Glee
Park.
My
house
was
built
over
a
hundred
years
ago
and
we're
seeing
what's
happening
within
a
very
few
blocks
and
it
I
think
reinforces
all
of
the
values
you've
expressed
tonight.
A
So
and
I'll
just
add,
I
mean
it
it's
clear
that
Stockton
is
changing
for
the
better
well
I
mean
it's
changing,
I,
don't
want
it.
I
don't
want
to
assign
a
value
judgment
there.
I
like
it
and
I
would
like
to
see
it
too.
Can
you
continue
to
change
and
I
heard
a
lot
of
the
folks
come
and
in
the
in
the
letters
that
we
got
there
was
there
were
a
lot
of
folks?
That
said,
you
know
we're
not
against
development.
You
know
you
live
close
to
the
Alameda.
A
You
live
close
to
downtown,
you
understand,
you're
in
an
urban
area,
and
so
that
was
heartening
because
oftentimes
we
get
folks
coming
here
saying
you
know
my
backyard
or
whatever
it
may
be,
and
so
I
say
this
because,
regardless
of
what
we
do
up
here
and
what
the
City
Council
does
something's
going
to
go
in
on
that
site,
that's
gonna
be
intense
and
it's
gonna
cause
traffic
and
so
I.
Just
you
know,
regardless
of
how
I
vote
tonight,
some
project
is
gonna.
Come
before
us
on
that
site.
A
That
is
going
to
cause
a
change
in
the
neighborhood
that
will
cause
traffic,
which
was
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
people
cited.
So
for
me,
that's
not
an
argument
to
to
say
no
to
this,
because
anything
that
goes
in
there
needs
to
be
intense
and
it's
gonna
cause
traffic
unless
we
all
get
on
our
bicycles
as
we
should
and
right
everywhere,
so
Commissioner
Allen.
N
Thank
you,
I'll
speak
to
my
motion
now
and
I
have
a
few
questions
for
staff
after
some
comments,
but
hey
it's
district,
six,
not
at
the
Planning
Commission.
Luckily
we
have
a
majority
of
district
six
members
up
here,
so
we
actually
have
more
than
likely
I
hope
into
all
the
sites
that
we've
been
considering
myself
I'm
incredibly
familiar
with
your
neighborhood
I've,
probably
met
a
lot
of
you.
I
recognize
a
lot
of
your
faces.
N
I've
knocked
your
doors,
I've
run
for
office
twice
in
the
area,
so
I
definitely
have
met
a
lot
of
you
and
we've
had
long
conversations
on
your
porches
and
I've
even
remember
four
years
ago,
I
think
it's
conversation
about
this
site
and
what
could
possibly
happen
there
and
your
your
fears
and
your
work
concerns
I
respect
the
property
owner,
absolutely
100%.
It's
your
property
you're
trying
to
get
the
best
possible
return.
You
can
get
on
your
investment
right,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
that.
I'm,
not
gonna.
N
Begrudge
you
trying
to
get
the
best
out
of
it
and
I'm
sure
that
no
one
in
my
sector,
the
nonprofit
sector,
where
we
are
desperate
for
office
space
performance
space
space
that
served
the
community
through
community
benefit
programs,
we're
desperate
for
office
space
but
I'm,
guessing
that
our
folks
aren't
necessarily
beating
down
your
door.
The
same
way
that
Hotel
yours
and
other
sectors
are
because
yes,
Google
is
coming
writer
basically
right
across
the
street.
N
You're
gonna
have
a
really
intense
development
of
office
space
right
across
the
street,
but
it's
across
the
street
and
it's
in
an
area
that's
been,
doesn't
that's
in
an
area
that's
been
designated
for
really
intense
development,
whereas
this
strip.
Even
if
you
look
at
the
surrounding
general
plan
designation,
is
still
neighborhood
community
commercial,
which
is
while
it
may
allow
for
a
five-story
hotel,
even
that
isn't
as
intense
as
what
we're
talking
about
across
the
street.
N
So
I
would
differ
in
terms
of
what
the
vision
was
for
Stockton,
because
the
vision
for
Stockton
on
one
side
of
Stockton
is
obviously
one
thing.
The
vision
on
the
other
side
and
the
people
in
the
city
and
its
infinite
wisdom
in
the
planning
staff
and
the
professional
staff
that
Commissioner
Oliverio
Sites
decided
that
they
weren't
going
to
further
intensify
the
west
side
of
Stockton.
N
Why
that
was
who
can
say:
I
wasn't
at
all
the
meetings,
but
that
was
the
decision
that
was
made
and
so
I'm
looking
at
this
project
in
terms
of
what
the
current
general
plans
as
what
the
zoning
currently
says,
and
then
what
that
side
of
the
street
looks
like
frankly,
I'm
not
I'm,
not
really
compelled
by
the
arguments
about
traffic
myself
or
parking
or
prostitution
or
smoking
or
anything.
That's
prejudging
the
patrons
of
this
establishment
right.
We're
not
here
to
prejudge.
N
What's
gonna
happen
with
the
people
that
come
to
stay
at
the
hotel,
that's
frankly
the
hotel,
here's
problem
in
the
city's
problem:
it
was
a
code
enforcement
right
at
the
end
of
the
day.
Nothing
we
can
do
up
here
about
that.
My
concern
in
my
and
frankly,
my
concern
isn't
even
for
the
intensity
of
the
building.
I,
actually,
don't
even
think
the
five-story
building
would
be
inappropriate
there.
What
I
do
think
isn't
appropriate
is
this
is
a
use
that
is
come
that
is
incompatible
with
the
community
is
not
and
does
not
fit.
N
The
general
plan
designation.
We
were
being
asked
to
approve
or
the
underlying
zoning
that
we're
being
asked
to
approve
with
the
neighborhood
from
really
if
it
was
if
they
wanted
to.
They
come
back
and
just
change
the
change.
The
general
plan
designation
and
maybe
ask
for
the
special
use
permit.
It
might
be
easier
to
approve,
but
it
really
doesn't
I'm
gonna
get
into.
Why
doesn't
fit
in
a
second,
but
this
is.
It
was
really
frustrating
staff
report
to
read.
N
This
does
happen
that
where
we
see
a
project-
and
you
seem
probably
for
in
my
time
on
the
Commission
where
staff
is
obviously
trying
to
please
a
lot
of
different
masters
at
the
council
level
and
ends
up
with
a
proposal,
Asaf
report
I
think
is
inadequate
and
analysis.
That
I
think
is
inadequate.
I,
don't
think
the
applicant
is
trying
to
ruin
anyone's
life.
I,
don't
think
he's
trying
to
ruin
your
neighborhood
I'm
gonna.
Tell
you
that
right
now,
again,
I,
don't
think
you're
out
to
do
that.
I
agree
with
you.
N
There
we
can't
hold
the
applicant
accountable
for
what
their
guests
might
do.
I
do
think,
however,
you
are
but
at
least
the
folks
who
spoke
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
or
a
little
bit
tone-deaf
I
think
you
need
to
do
a
lot
better
job
of
reaching
out
to
the
community,
as
evidenced
by
the
fact
that
maybe
they
wouldn't
be,
if
maybe
they'd,
be
opposed
to
anything
you
want
to
put
on
the
site,
but
the
fact
that
we
heard
no
positive
comments,
not
one
here
in
email.
N
The
only
positive
comment
I
received
was
on
a
Facebook
post,
I
posted
about
this
meeting
from
someone
who
works
in
the
mayor's
office
and
happens
to
live
on
Pershing,
so
we
can
kind
of
say
see
where
their
interest
my
life,
public
safety
in
character.
My
friends
are
incredibly
important.
I
respect
that
the
character
of
your
neighborhood
I
worked
at
the
same
as
a
Unified
School
District
Office,
which
is
itself
a
building
that
is
completely
out
of
place
and
how
the
heck
that
ever
got
approved
in
the
first
place.
N
I,
don't
know
it
was
50
years
ago
with
the
Diocese
of
San
Jose.
So
you
don't
want
to
piss
off
churches
right
so
I
know
the
neighborhood
right
and
I
understand
how
this
doesn't
fit.
But
even
then
you
know
if
it
was
an
office
space
that
really
did
serve
the
community
with
organizations
that
serve
the
community
with
businesses
that
serve
the
community.
N
I
would
be
fully
on
board
with
this
frankly,
but
as
it
stands,
I
can't
I
have
a
couple
questions
related
to
the
staff
report
and
related
to
why
I'm
made
a
motion
to
recommend
denial.
The
first
question
I
have
is,
it
could
just
be
because
it's
a
it's
all
tied
together
in
this
proposal,
we're
considering
all
the
different
layers
at
once,
but
this
was
submitted
in
Halloween
2018.
N
I
N
It
really
is
because
I
don't
think
that
the
staff
analysis
is
adequate
here.
I,
don't
think
that
we
are
judging
it
based
on
what
we
should
be.
Judging
that
it
seems
like
we
see
this
a
lot
in
reports
where
the
project
fits
their
zoning
that's
being
proposed,
but
it
certainly
doesn't
fit
their
zoning,
that's
their.
It
doesn't
fit
the
general
planning
designation,
that's
therapy,
and
that's
why
they're
asking
for
the
change
right
so
to
the
point
that
we
made
before.
N
Use
transportation
diagram
allow
a
new
land
expansion
of
existing
commercial
development
with
an
exist
established
neighborhoods
when
such
development
is
appropriately
located
and
designed,
and
it's
primarily
neighborhood
serving
there's
no,
if
and
or',
maybe
if
it
happens
to
or
it
could
in
this
statement.
This
is
a
land
use
policy
that
I'm
now
citing
to
say
that
this
does
not
fit
the
land
use
designation
that
there
they
are
going
for.
This
is
something
that's
cited
in
the
staff
report
as
a
policy
that
this
project
fits
and
conforms
with.
N
N
N
N
The
responses
were
certainly
on
the
merits
of
the
petition
on
the
points
that
were
cited,
but
there
was
one
point
on
page
19
when
staff
notes
that
the
petition
reference
is
the
2010
general
plan
and
notes
that
this
project
was
reviewed
and
considered.
Pursuant
to
the
current
governing
general
plan,
envisioned
in
San
Jose
2040
adopted
in
2011
by
the
City
Council.
Fine,
that's
true!
That's
very
true.
It's
a
very
valid
point.
It
didn't
need
to
be
made
in
the
staff
report
Frank.
N
They
didn't
even
made
it
all
it
and
it's
what
I
feel
is
it's
demeaning,
it's
demeaning
to
people
who
took
the
time
to
sign
a
petition
to
write
a
petition
to
write
up
their
thoughts
as
valid
or
invalid,
or
is
out
out
of
left
field
or
right
field,
as
they
might
happen
to
be,
they
are
still
residents
of
our
city.
They
are
submitting
their
thoughts
to
us
and
they
deserve
respect
and
I
think
that
in
general,
like
that's,
why
I
would
say
to
the
applicant.
That's
what
I'd
say
to
staff.
N
We
need
to
respect
the
neighborhoods
and
their
opinions
and
I'm
when
I'd
say
neighborhood
I
do
have
a
specific
definition
of
neighborhood.
It
is
the
immediate
surrounding
neighborhood.
It's
the
people
in
the
city.
It's
not
people
coming
to
stay
in
a
hotel.
It's
not
you,
know
someone
coming
to
for
a
job
interview
at
Google.
Maybe
they
do
get
to
live
in
the
city.
N
N
Very
sorry,
so
you
know
that,
for
those
are
moral
reasons,
those
are
emotional
reasons,
but
I've
cited
two
very
valid
reasons
and
I
recommend
that
my
fellow
commissioners
consider
those
and
consider
the
precedent
that
this
might
set
if
we
continually
override
our
own
policies
an
over
Ivo,
the
intention
of
our
community
of
the
council
of
all
the
people,
including
Commissioner
olivarium,
who
served
on
the
council
during
this
process
during
the
general
plan
process.
You
know
all
the
time
you
put
in
to
craft
these
policies,
I
think
we
should
stand
behind
them.
N
A
Q
A
O
A
Q
A
A
So
motion
fails,
which
means
that
if
we
yeah,
if
someone
wants
to
put
a
new
motion
on
the
table,
so
commissioner
Griswold
put
a
motion
to
approve
the
staff
recommendation.
Is
there
a
second
a
second
by
Commissioner
Oliverio?
Any
further
discussion
on
the
motion?
There
are
questions
comments
all
right.
Let's
go!
Oh
sorry,
Oh.
J
N
A
A
question
so
does
the
motion
have
any
conditions
on
it
or
it's
just
that's
it.
Okay
I
wanted
to
make
a
comment
that
then,
since
it
looks
like
this
probably
will
get
recommended
approval
to
the
City
Council
and
something
I
didn't
mention
was
just
just
to
flag,
curb
cuts
and
ingress
and
egress.
You
know
Stockton
as
it
is
right
now.
Is
there
aren't
that
many
conflict
points,
so
it
is
a
pleasant
bike
ride
with
the
new
development,
a
hotel.
A
M
A
A
A
So
I'm
gonna
ask
the
so.
The
public
hearing
is
closed.
I'm
going
to
ask
for
for
folks
who
have
questions
about
the
process,
that's
wonderful!
We
really
want
people
to
get
involved
and
those
questions
should
be
directed
to
the
staff,
as
we
have
to
finish
up
the
meeting
here.
So
thank
you
and
the
city
council
meeting
is
February
11th.
A
O
There
are
five
items
that
were
recommended
from
this
commission
for
approval
City
Council.
Yesterday,
all
five
were
approved.
First
one
is
the
nomination
of
the
portion
of
Greater
god
Gardner
strong
neighbors
initiative
area
as
not
Willow
Glen
conservation
area
that
was
approved.
The
second
one
was
a
request
for
proposal
for
historic
resources,
services
and
city
projects
which
provided
a
Master
Agreement
for
14
historic
preservation,
consultants
that
was
also
approved.
O
Third
one
is
the
actions
related
to
2020
2021
hazardous
vegetation,
commencement
report
that
was
also
approved
by
City
Council
and
then
public
hearing
on
the
appeals
for
environmental
determination
for
historic
preservation
permit
and
site
development
permit
for
real
property
located
at
2,
1
1
southwest
streets
does
attribute
hotel.
The
appeal
was
denied,
so
the
project
was
approved
and
the
last
one
is
the
CPS
2
9,
which
is
conforming
rezoning
and
conditional
use
permit
for
the
property
located
at
1500
South
10th
Street
the
ice
rinks.
That
project
was
also
approved.
