The

The

with

with

in

the
turning
to
the
public

We
have
several
public
comments,
so
we'll
take
each
of
the
items

generally,
the
public

are
considered
by

in
the
order
in

they
appear
on
the
agenda
and
we
will
take
them
in
that
order.
So
we'll
start
with
item
5a
I
believe
we
begin
with.
Is
it
the
staff
staff
report?
Okay,
Thank.
D
You,
chair
Angela,
one
planning
project
manager
for
the
planning
division
of
PDC
before
the
Planning
Commission
is
evening.
Is
the
convention
or
rezoning
of
the
four
point:
six
nine
gross
acre
site
from
r1,
a
single-family
residence
district
to
C
and
commercial
neighborhood
zone
industry
and
the
conditional
use
permit
to
allow
the
demolition
of
for
existing
storage
buildings
and
the
removal
of
20
ordinance
sized
trees
for
the
construction
of
the
four-story
125,000
303
square
foot,
151
1252
unit
assisted
living
and
memory
care
facility
with
83
employees
on
an
approximately
3.79
gross
acre
site.
D
The
project
site
is
located
on
the
west
side
of
Union
Avenue
approximately
260
feet
northerly
of
Los
Gatos
ammidon
Road.
The
site
is
currently
UD
utilized
as
a
storage
and
minister
of
the
union
school
history
with
four
storage
buildings,
the
site
is
surrounded
by
residential
commercial
uses,
it's
bounded
by
Ross,
Creek
and
single-family
residential
to
the
north
medical
offices,
to
the
west,
multi-family,
residential
and
school
district
office
to
the
south
and
single-family
and
multi-family
residential
to
the
east.
Across
Union
Avenue,
the
site
has
a
general
plan:
land
use
designation
of
mixed-use
commercial.
D
The
designation
is
intended
to
accommodate
a
mix
of
commercial
and
residential
uses,
with
an
emphasis
on
commercial
activity
as
the
primary
use
and
the
residential
activity
allowed
in
a
secondary
role.
This
designation
allows
for
media
intensity
of
development.
The
project's
consistent
with
the
general
plan,
9
use,
designation
and
policies
in
that
the
project's
the
commercial
use.
The
current
zoning
of
arwen,
a
single-family
residence
district
allows
for
single-family
residences,
but
does
not
allow
large
scale
residential
care
facilities.
The
proposed
rezoning
to
CN
commercial
neighborhoods
own
industry
would
conform
to
the
general
plan.
D
Land
use,
designation
of
mixed-use
commercial
and
three
community
meetings
were
held
for
the
project
to
were
initiated
by
the
applicant
and
one
was
sponsored
by
the
city.
During
the
community
meetings,
concerns
regarding
traffic
building,
height
setback,
noise
and
privacy
were
were
raised.
The
project
is
I
has
been
revised
to
address
these
comments
by
providing
substantial
distance
from
the
surrounding
residential
uses
in
incorporating
step
back
Street
building
design,
breaking
up
the
building
massing
with
architectural
projections
and
recessions.
D
D
The
project
completed
an
initial
star,
the
mitigated
negative
declaration
and
was
publicly
circulated
for
comments
from
September
6
2019
to
September
26
2018.
Five
formal
comments
were
received.
Comments
from
the
general
public
are
mainly
about
traffic,
aesthetic,
noise,
air
and
water
pollution,
an
alternative
use
for
the
producer.
As
a
part,
the
comments
did
not
result
in
any
substantial
changes
to
the
project
description
analysis,
and/or
impacts
that
was
previously
disclosed
in
the
initial
study
and
maggoty
Megatech
mitigated
negative
declaration
these
environmental
documents.
D
These
environmental
comments
are
addressed
by
staff
in
a
formal
response
to
comments
document
posted
online.
Since
posting
of
the
draft
staff
report.
In
response
to
comments
to
additional
comment,
letters
were
received.
One
comment
was
sent
by
a
resident
by
a
resident
in
support
of
the
proposed
project,
citing
the
needs
of
the
this
type
of
service.
E
Good
evening,
commissioner,
Title
II
supervising
planner
and
the
environmental
team
and
the
environmental
planner
for
this
project
so
supplied
to
reiterate
the
transportation
concerns
from
the
community
along
with
VTA
as
a
whole.
One
of
the
major
comments
from
the
community
is
the
additional
trips
generated
by
the
proposed
project
would
be
too
much
and
how
that
would
affect
operation
on
roadways
and,
at
certain
intersections.
Stop
would
like
to
reiterate
that
the
project
has
completed
a
transportation
analysis
which
includes
two
parts.
E
The
first
part
is
vehicle
mile
travel
VMT
for
short
analysis
as
per
the
sequel
guideline
and
per
city
council
policy
5-1,
and
the
second
part
is
the
local
transportation
analysis
which
includes
intersection
operation
standards.
As
part
of
the
transportation
analysis,
the
project
was
found
to
have
potential
impact
under
VMT
and
therefore
are
subject
to
medication
measure
as
identifying
the
permit
and
in
the
environmental
documents.
E
The
LTA
part,
the
local
transportation
analysis
part
include
interest,
intersection,
operation,
analysis
at
Union
and
los
carros
Edmonton
Road
intersection,
one
of
the
communities
intersection
of
concern
based
on
the
analysis.
The
project
would
not
result
in
an
adverse
effect
on
the
intersection
operation
and
therefore
City
did
not
require
additional
conditions,
such
as
alternative
project
operation
hours
or
staggering
time.
E
Furthermore,
staff
received,
as
mentioned,
that
receive
additional
comments
from
VTA
last
week
after
the
posting
of
our
responses
responses
to
comments
on
their
original
comment
to
the
environmental
documents,
so
they
submitted
for
more
comment
during
the
28
days.
We
respond
to
that
and
they
reiterate
the
same
concern.
E
The
closest
bus
stop
to
the
project
site
is
approximately
800
feet
away
on
the
south
eastern
corner
of
the
Union
Avenue
and
the
Los
Gatos
ammidon
Road
intersection
staff
maintained
the
position
that
this
is
within
reasonable,
walk,
walkable
distance
from
the
project
site
and,
in
addition,
the
project
has
existing
sidewalk
connectivity
to
the
existing
bus.
Stop,
therefore,
as
the
project
did
not
show
adverse
effect
in
this
operation
analysis,
there
is
no
condition
for
a
new
bus
stop.
D
Since
the
draft
resolution
is
posted,
a
condition
related
to
financing
plan
and
fees
was
added.
The
purpose
of
these
conditions
to
advise
the
applicant
that
the
city
is
studying
potential
impact
fee
programs.
If
any
of
these
programs
are
adopted,
they
will
apply
to
commercial
development
projects
which
have
not
yet
obtained
building
permits.
So
copies
of
these
conditions
are
provided
for
your
review
so
for
record
preparers
I'm
going
to
read
the
condition.
That's
the
problem.
D
D
The
financing
plans
may
include
the
creation
of
a
community
facilities,
district,
enhanced
infrastructure,
finance
industries,
property
based
Improvement,
Districts
mitigation
impact,
fee
programs,
commercial
linkage,
fee
programs,
and/or
other
financing
mechanisms
or
combination
there,
though,
for
example,
the
City
Council
has
directed
city
staff
to
complete
studies
and
make
recommendations
related
to
commercial
impact
fees
to
help
fund,
affordable
housing.
These
efforts
are
ongoing
and
there
will
continue
to
be
other
similar
efforts
to
study
various
funding
mechanisms
for
affordable
housing.
D
By
accepting
this
permit,
including
the
conditions
of
approval
set
forth
in
this
permit,
permit
acknowledges
it
has
read
and
understands,
or
of
the
above
committee,
further
agrees
that,
prior
to
the
assurance
of
any
building
permit,
the
project
shall
be
subject
to
fully
participate
in
and
pay
any
and
all
charges,
fees,
assessments
or
taxes
included
in
any
City.
Council
approved
financing
plans
related
to
affordable
housing,
as
may
be
a
Mandy
which
may
include
one
or
more
of
the
financed
financing.
D
Mechanisms
identified
above
staff
recommends
that
the
Planning
Commission
recommend
to
the
City
Council
to
adopt
a
mitigating,
negative
decoration,
full
project
and
the
associated
mitigation
monitoring
and
reporting
plan
and
approve
the
conventional
rezoning
and
the
conditional
use
permit,
because
the
project
is
consistent
with
the
general
plan.
Land
use
designation,
conforms
to
the
development
standards
of
the
commercial
neighborhood
zone
industry
and
is
consistent
with
the
riparian
corridor
policy
and
the
commercial
design
guidelines
and
as
further
analyzing
the
staff
report.
So
this
concludes
staff
report.
A
G
Evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
I'm
andy
gerber
with
belmont
Village
senior
living
the
applicant
with
me,
sort
of
as
Co
applicant
is
Vicki
brown
who's,
one
of
the
board,
members
of
the
Union
School
District,
as
well
as
Denise
Coleman
who's
superintendent
of
the
school
district.
Although
they
are
not
technically
the
applicants,
they
are
the
landowner
whose
ground
leasing,
the
property
and
I've
asked
them
to
share
the
five
minutes
with
me
and
kind
of
give
a
little
bit
of
background
on.
C
Right
I'll
be
quick,
I've
been
on
the
Union
School
District
Board,
since
I
was
elected
in
2004,
and
in
that
time
we've
had
lots
of
proposals
brought
to
us
as
a
district
to
develop
this
parcel
over
time.
We've
really
considered
them,
and
this
is
by
far
the
best
proposal
that
works
for
the
school
district,
the
neighborhood
and
the
community.
Not
only
that,
but
it
answers
a
question
about
senior
housing
and
senior
care.
Therefore,
opening
up
additional
housing
units
for
other
generations
in
San
Jose,
as
we
all
know,
California,
does
not
properly
fund
education.
C
The
education
funding
is
subpar
leaving
districts
to
look
validly
for
additional
funding
opportunities.
We've
leased
closed
sites,
we
have
a
bond,
we
have
a
parcel.
We
have
solar
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
put
money
in
our
coffers,
because,
although
we
are
in
the
top
5%
academic
achievement
in
this
state,
we
are
funded
by
the
state
in
the
bottom
one
and
a
half
percent,
it's
hard
to
keep
up
excellence
if
you're
funded
way
below
the
rest
of
your
neighbors.
C
A
C
We've
been
brought
things
like
Walgreens
and
with
a
drive-thru
pharmacy.
We
didn't
think
that
was
really
great
for
the
neighborhood
and
it
also
in
and
not
being
great
for
the
neighborhood.
In
our
opinion,
it
didn't
yield
a
good
amount
of
revenue
for
our
district.
It
also
didn't
provide
the
community
aspect
that
Belmont
has
brought
to
us.
They
want
to
have
their
seniors
interacting
with
our
students,
I
mean
Walgreens,
wasn't
presenting
that
the
other
options
were
high
density
housing.
We
also
didn't
think
that
that
was
befitting
of
what
worked
best
for
our
entire
community
I.
Just.
A
H
H
They
see
this
as
an
opportunity
to
enhance
our
budget
to
support
our
students
in
our
educational
spending
to
do
a
service
to
our
community
in
for
our
children,
and
also
the
fact
that
Belmont
has
graciously
agreed
to
offer
their
meeting
space
to
us
to
hold
our
professional
development,
so
they
won't
have
to
do
it
in
a
windowless,
very
small
room
or
they're,
conducting
all
their
meetings.
Now,
there's
just
a
long
list
of
attractive
features
to
this
proposal.
H
G
Be
as
quick
as
I
can.
Thank
you
very
much
for
having
us.
As
as
Angela
had
mentioned,
there
were
three
community
meetings
that
took
place
subsequent
to
our
filing
an
application
for
the
project.
There
was
actually
a
fourth
one
that
we
held
prior
to
even
designing
the
the
reason
I
bring.
That
up
is
to
underscore
our
commitment
to
listening
to
the
community
when
we
design
these
projects.
We
are
not
just
a
developer.
G
We
own
and
operate
all
of
the
buildings
that
we've
ever
built
across
the
country,
and
we
now
have
29
of
them
in
the
US,
including
one
right
here
in
San
Jose
at
Santana,
Row
that
we
built
over
a
decade
ago
and
continue
to
own
and
continue
to
operate.
So
we
do
take
our
commitment
to
our
neighbors
seriously
because
we
intend
to
be
their
neighbors
for
a
long
time
and,
quite
frankly,
we
hope
that
when
the
time
comes
that
they'll
come
to
our
community,
some
of
our
neighbors
are
here.
I've
noticed
them
scattered
throughout.
G
G
I
think
that
we
have
addressed
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
they
have
brought
up,
hopefully
to
their
satisfaction,
I'm
sure
some
will
say
it's
not
enough,
but
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
that
we
do
take
community
input
very
seriously
and
the
input
that
we
were
given
both
at
our
initial
meeting
and
then
at
subsequent
meetings
after
we
had
actually
presented
a
design.
We
took
the
community's
feedback
very
seriously
and
attempted
to
integrate
it
into
our
design
revisions.
G
F
So
this
there's
no
Nexus
at
this
point
under
the
city's
own
policies
for
requiring
more
mitigation
and
you're
actually
doing
a
very
nice
job
with
what
you
have
available.
But
I
wanted
to
ask
if
you
would
be
amenable
if
at
some
point
in,
let
me
back
and
say,
I
understand:
I
worked
with
these
kinds
of
planned
uses
before
and
typically
there's
not
a
lot
of
parking.
There's,
not
a
lot
of
vehicles
that
are
in
the
back
of
the
building
and
the
parking
is
usually
empty.
F
My
parents
lived
in
a
similar
facility
for
years
and
I
wouldn't
have
wanted
the
driving.
So
what
I'm
thinking
is?
If,
over
the
years
you
find
you
don't
need
all
of
this
parking,
and
you
can
therefore
sure
the
community
there
would
be
no
impact
if
we
were
to
allow
you
to
convert
some
of
the
parking
to
riparian
habitat.
That
would
trees
in
particular
that
will
benefit
the
entire
area,
and
if
we
would
do
that
with
just
an
amendment,
a
minor
change
would
that
be
something
you
would
be
amenable
to.
I.
G
Would
say
in
principle:
yes,
obviously
the
Devils
in
the
details,
and
we
want
to
understand
it.
You
know
we
do
have
a
fair
amount
of
experience,
projecting
how
much
parking
we're
gonna
need
for
a
project.
Obviously
it's
an
imperfect
science.
You
kind
of
do
your
best.
Generally
speaking,
our
residents
don't
drive,
but
obviously
staff
members
do
visitors
do,
but
we
don't
know
you
know
how
many
of
those
folks
are
gonna
be
living
in
the
neighborhood
might
be
more
inclined
to
walk.
G
H
When
we
first
started
this
process
and
started
having
the
community
meetings
with
staff
and
inviting
community
just
kind
of
informally
before
we
even
received
their
request
for
proposal,
one
of
the
big
concerns
of
the
community
is
they
didn't
want
our
staff
parking
on
the
city
streets.
So
we
asked
Belmont
to
please
incorporate
extra
parking
for
our
staff.
Should
we
be
having
staff
development
at
their
facilities
so
that
we
weren't
using
the
city
streets
around
the
development?
So
that
was
something
that
really
played
into
the
consideration
of
extra
parking
and.
F
And
it
is
over
parked
and
I
suspect
that
over
the
years
you'll
all
discover
you
don't
need
all
that
pavement,
given
the
city's
other
part
policies,
so
it
and
it
would
this-
you
would
have
to
initiate
the
amendment,
but
we
would
agree
through
the
language
in
the
condition
to
facilitate
it.
If,
in
fact,
you
don't
need
it
is
staff
agreeable.
H
A
I
G
J
H
We
started
we
have
we
work
with
a
very
conservative
legal
firm
who
said
there
is
a
education
policy.
It's
seven
eleven
committee
that
he
recommended
that
we
have
now.
We
spoke
to
other
districts
with
other.
They
go
counsel.
That
said,
no,
you
can
just
kind
of
pass
that
and
go.
We
didn't
want
to
do
that.
We
took
an
extra
year
year
and
a
half
to
bring
staff
members
to
invite
community
members
to
host
special
meetings.
We
even
read
a
hero,
assistant,
superintendent
of
business,
flier
Holmes.
H
Personally,
we
sent
out
postcards
within
a
thousand
square
feet,
inviting
people
and
letting
them
know
before
we
even
receive
the
request
for
proposals,
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
could
go
back
with
the
clear
conscience
to
our
community
and
say
yeah.
We
had
the
meetings
and
we
did
inform
people.
Thank.
J
A
So
anything
else
that
you'd
like
to
say,
you've
got
30
more
seconds
or
31
more
seconds.
We're
gonna
move
to
the
public
comment
portion
of
this
agenda
item.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I'm
gonna
call
three
names
at
a
time
to
come
up.
The
first
is
Mike.
Hennessey
second
is
Vicki
brown
and
the
third
is
Denise
Coleman
and
you
will
each
have
two
minutes.
A
J
How
you
doing
thanks
for
the
submit
to
me
my
name,
is
Mike
Hennessey
I
live
in
district
9,
but
done
your
map
there.
Just
a
just
a
couple
blocks
off
for
rosswood
and
I've.
Had
that
house
there
for
twenty-one
years,
been
nice
place,
refurbished
a
chocolate,
wife's,
happy,
Sue's
and
I
are
real
blessed
to
have
a
91
year
old,
father-in-law
or
my
father,
my
wife
Alma,
and
even
if
this
place
was
open,
I'd
put
him
in
there
I
think
having
some
for
seniors
is
kind
of
cool.
We're
all
going
to
be
there.
J
You
nice
to
have
him
there,
because
I'm
hearing
all
the
stories
about
him
work
in
a
bank
America
downtown
I
can
recite
them.
I
can
recycle
art
I
Drive
by
there
all
the
time
and
you
kind
of
think
being
in
the
neighborhood.
What's
going
to
be
user
friendly
for
all
of
us,
you
know
and
there's
they
hardly
said
of
Walgreens
or
other
things.
Out
of
anything
that
could
be
put
there.
A
Senior
Center
to
me
just
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
Today
we
need
things
like
this:
it's
nothing
I'm
not
seeing.
J
We
don't
need
Walgreens,
but
you
know
you
just
got
to
drive
a
little
further
to
go
to
another
Walgreens.
We
just
can't
go
drivin
it
further.
You
know
to
go
to
a
Senior
Center
and
I
did
a
little
homework.
I
like
my
neighborhood
I
live
in
Santa
Clara
I
mean
I
work
in
Santa,
Clara
I
restore
cars
for
Hobby
I.
J
J
But
when
I
heard
about
coming
here
and
talking
I
thought,
I
got
to
be
heard
and
known
that
I
come
there
and
drive
through
the
neighborhood
and
seeing
something
be
that
would
be
a
cluster
mass
would
not
work
for
anybody
and
when
I
go
to
the
schools,
my
wife
and
are
very
good
about
donating
money.
When
I
hear
without
how
the
money
is
gonna
be
done.
I
was
like
see:
I'm
a
meat,
potato
guy
where's
the
money
going.
K
J
The
money's
gonna
go
help
these
people,
the
schools
and
our
teachers,
of
which
we
really
need.
We
need
a
lot
of
stuff,
I
mean
let's
just
face
it.
The
list
can
go
a
mile
long
I
do
think
our
education
or
teachers
is
somewhere
close
to
the
top
of
the
list.
When
I
know
where
the
money
is
gonna
go
there
I
thought
that
would
be.
That
was
a
kind
of
a
you
know.
A
thing
I
thought
was
really
pretty
cool,
Susan
I
drove
by
and
walked
and
looked
around,
I
thought.
J
H
Hold
district
9
in
my
heart,
my
family
moved
into
district
9
off
a
union
in
Foxworthy
in
the
mid
60s
right
after
I
was
born
and
I
have
lived
here.
All
my
life
I
love
this
community
working
in
education,
I
just
see,
as
it's
already
been
mentioned,
we're
so
underfunded.
Our
teachers
are
not
our
entire
staffs
are
not
compensated
to
even
live
in
the
area,
and
we
are
scrounging
constantly
to
look
at
ways
not
just
how
do
we
best
educate
our
kids,
but
how
can
we
sustain
the
programs
and
the
staff
that
we
have
I?
H
Look
at
this
plot
of
land
sitting
next
to
us?
That's
a
dumping
ground
people,
don't
their
mattresses,
people,
don't
their
shopping
carts.
We
get
calls
every
week
from
community
members.
What
are
you
gonna
do
to
clean
up
this
site?
We
don't
have
the
staff
to
clean
it
up
as
regularly
as
what
it
would
like
when
we
went
for
the
request
for
proposals.
We
got
four
different
proposals.
Belmont
by
far
was
the
best
and
when
they
met
with
community
members,
they
continued
to
change
their
plans
to
address
the
concerns
that
they
heard.
H
In
fact,
this
gentleman
right
here
came
in
concerned
that
he
didn't
like
the
dumpster
facing
his
home.
They
totally
redesigned
it
and
faced
it
to
the
district
office,
which
is
fine
with
us.
We
want
to
be
responsive
to
our
community.
We
also
have
to
be
forward-thinking
and
how
we
best
support
the
needs
of
our
students
and
of
our
staff,
and
they
believe
that
this
project
is
one
that
meets
the
needs
not
only
of
our
community
but
of
our
children
and
of
our
educators
and
I.
Appreciate
your
consideration.
Thank.
A
L
Thank
you
so
much
the
lovingly
allowing
you.
You
know
this
opportunity
to
tell
you
a
couple
of
things.
First,
just
you
know
high-level
looked
to
all
of
this.
It's
a
four-story
building,
huge
building
everything
around
is
very
low-rise.
You
know
one
to
two
stories.
My
bedroom
will
be
approximately
less
than
70
feet
away
from
the
service
entry
from
150
rooms.
L
I,
don't
know
how
I
will
sleep
I
don't
have
a
clue,
but
there
is
more
a
bigger
problem
than
that
in
order
to
address
the
problem
which
all
of
the
gentlemen
and
ladies
we're
talking
about,
financing
the
district,
we
asked
them
in
many
public.
You
know
meetings
told
them
that
there
are
other
ways
you
know
to
fund
it.
For
example,
neighbors
figure
out.
L
You
know
that
there
is
a
fund
for
from
San
Jose,
approximately
having
90
million
dollars
for
parks,
and
we
asked
them
several
times
to
check
if
they
can
put
parks
there
and
if
they
follow
the
procedure
for
nail
or
act.
If
you
want
you
can
contact
me,
I
can
give
you
my
phone
number
and
I
can
send
you
the
links.
Essentially,
it's
saying
that
if
the
district
needs,
if
the
district
needs
a
you
know,
additional
parking
album
in
parks
and
the
cig
nine
needs
additional
parks
they
can
get
into
that
fund.
L
And
maybe
you
want
to
double-check
that,
because
there
might
be
some
liabilities
against
San
Jose,
because
I'm
not
sure
that
procedure
for
nail
or
act
was
followed
for
for
this
specific
building
and
which
means
what
I'm
trying
to
say
here
is
this:
if
the
Union
School
District
wants
money,
maybe
the
first
address
was
to
go,
you
know
and
check
if
they
can
tap
into
the
money
which
already
exists
at
San
Jose
to
take
that
money
and
make
park
there.
Why?
L
Because
this
nine
already
needs
a
park
and
because
I
have
nine
years
old
kid
I
know
that
if
I
want
to
walk
to
any
nearby
park,
I
need
at
least
mile
and
a
half,
and
no
one
else
has
the
place.
You
know
to
go
with
the
kids
around
and
they
want.
To
put
you
know,
a
four-story
building
there
check
for
the
liability
you
can
also
provide
I
can
provide
you.
My
contact
to
contact
me
your.
A
L
Understood
you
know
that
a
union
school
district
would
like
you
know
to
have
some
kind
of
lease
and
I
believe
by
reading
materials
related
to
the
fund
that
also
fund
khun's.
You
know
pay
for
lease
of
that
parkland,
which
means
you
know
they
will
be
able
to
adapt
to
the
same
fund
and
also
our
neighbor
checked
that
there
are
so
many
contributors
you
know
to
that
fund
and
that's
like
a
large
companies
which
have
ninety
million
dollars
in
in
that
fund,
and
because
we
have
so
many
big
corporations,
there
might
be
a
way
for
them.
L
K
I
know
this
space
next
to
our
district
office
is
underutilized,
as
you
can
say,
some
of
the
areas
actually
just
a
dirt
there
and
I
I
believe
a
Belmont
will
a
project
will
create
a
resource
for
our
community
and
also,
as
was
mentioned
before,
our
Union
School
District
is
one
of
the
lowest
funded
district
compared
to
statewide,
actually
statewide,
and
so
we're
relying
on
local
funding
and
we
already
currently
releasing
seven
close
school
sites
which
we
using
the
revenue.
We
use
the
funding
from
annual
revenue
from
the
leaf
size.
K
We
also
using
our
reserve
for
ongoing
expenses,
so
one-time
funding
being
used
for
ongoing,
which
we
cannot
sustain.
So
we,
the
district,
is
looking
for
other
resources.
Other
ways
to
generate
funding
for
our
students
and
for
staffs
I,
believe
bellmen
project
will
will
generate
revenue
for
funding
for
us
to
support
staff
and
students
at
the
Union
School
District.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
J
So
I've
lived
in
Cambrian
Park
for
nine
years,
I
learned
about
this
four-story
project
four
weeks
ago.
Why?
Because
of
this
a
little
postcard?
The
statement
from
these
folks
is
actually
incredibly
misleading.
Now
I
want
to
express
this
to
you
just
give
me
a
little
bit
of
time
to
do
it
and
I
promise.
I
won't
go
too
long.
So
why
didn't
I
know
about
this?
I
didn't
get
informed
about
this.
They
say.
J
Oh,
we
passed
out,
flyers,
I,
didn't
see
it,
and
maybe
it
just
went
in
the
trash
like
a
lot
of
the
junk
mail
that
I
get
from
Realtors
and
so
on,
but
it's
almost
as
though
this
project
is
being
quietly
crept
along.
So
I
took
it
upon
myself
literally
yesterday
to
do
a
survey
in
the
community
right
around
this
area.
I
did
a
survey
just
yesterday
afternoon,
I
went
to
20
random
homes,
and
these
are
the
signatures.
I
got
from
20
random
homes.
Okay,
most
of
these
people
were
strangers,
never
met
him.
J
In
my
life
of
the
20
homes,
I
went
to
every
single
one
of
them.
Maybe
mr.
Hennesy
is
an
exception.
I
didn't
go
to
his
house
was
against
us
number.
Two
of
the
2000s
I
went
to
three
of
the
people
didn't
even
know
about
this
project
until
four
weeks
ago,
and
one
of
them
still
didn't
know
about
the
project
of
the
20
homes.
I
went
to
three
of
them
said
that
if
the
project
Ford,
they
would
leave
the
community,
they
would
find
residents
elsewhere.
J
So,
let's
review
this,
a
hundred
percent
of
the
homes
were
opposed
to
this
20%
of
the
homes
either
had
no
idea
about
this,
or
only
just
in
the
last
couple
weeks
learnt
about
it
and
thirdly,
15
percent
of
the
homes
said
that
they
would
move
because
of
this.
Now,
if
I
conducted
a
larger
survey,
the
numbers
may
be
skewed,
but
I
can
tell
you
this.
It's
a
solid
bet
that
at
the
end
of
any
survey,
you
discover
that
a
majority
of
the
community
would
not
want
this
project
built.
J
J
A
A
A
M
Thank
you
for
inviting
me.
I
am
the
adjacent
property
owner
to
this
property.
You
see
that
driveway
that
commercial
driveway
faces
straight
to
my
house,
and
somebody
could
drive
straight
to
my
house
and
that's
a
danger
to
me.
I
bought
in
a
residential
neighborhood
and
another
thing
is
I.
Looked
up
about
naylor
Act,
Section,
C,
San
Jose
has
district
9
has
like
of
88
acres
of
land
in
this
particular
area,
especially
you
have
mentioned
east
of
Union
Avenue.
M
That
includes
this
area
and
I
know
that
in
Newfie
san
jose
collected
with
the
Quimby
act
according
to
sequa,
you
have
collected
this
fee
which
should
be
used
for
parkland
and
Naylor.
Act
says
the
school
district
should
first
give
the
land
to
the
city
where
the
viscosity
and
next
to
the
county
as
the
law
is
concerned,
and
they
haven't
done
that
and
city
has
money.
We
know
city
has
collected
in
review
fee
according
to
see
kwok-kin
B
Act
and
they
are
supposed
to
use
it.
There
may
be
further
liability
for
city
of
San
Jose.
M
The
gentleman
who
was
here-
and
that
is
the
community-
we
have
only
few
people
because
we
went
to
many
meetings.
It
was
just
they
invited
us
to
count
number
of
people
who
were
there,
nay,
they
never
heard
our
opinion
and
we
we
can
ask,
and
people
are
kind
of
afraid
of
these
people.
The
real
estate
agent
is
city
of
Santa,
Clara's,
mayor
I
am
afraid.
M
Yeah,
how
can
we,
how
can
we
bring
more
people
together
like?
Can
we
get
more
time
to
bring
more
people
together
because
we
think
like
we
need
to
know
why
the
school
district
is
opposed
to
the
park
when
they
were
required
to
approach
the
city
for
the
park
and
the
city
has
money
and
funds
for
the
park?
M
Why
why
they
had
Western
interest
in
Belmont,
and
this
could
be
a
liability
to
city
of
San
Jose,
because
you
collected
money
as
in
Leo
fees
according
to
sequa
and
can
be
act
and
Naylor
Act
applies
here
and
I
sent
a
question
to
the
sequa
and
they
said
NATO
Act
doesn't
apply
here,
but
it
does.
You
can
look
at
it.
M
A
N
Chair,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Vince
cantore
I'm,
a
lifelong
District,
nine
resident
and
fully
support
this
project.
What
I
would
like
to
say
the
neighbors
concerns
they
live
immediately
around
the
project
or
ballot,
but
any
decision
on
this
project
needs
to
be
balanced
against
the
policy
direction
of
the
mayor
and
council,
and
in
addition
to
that,
it
also
needs
to
be
consistent
with
your
housing
element.
I'm
not
going
to
bore
you
with
statistics,
but
I'll
mention
one
by
2030.
N
Roughly
thirty
percent
of
the
population
will
be
over
age,
60
housing
element
policy,
H
1.3.
We
need
to
create.
As
a
city,
we
need
to
create
housing
opportunities
and
accessible
living
environments
that
allow
seniors
to
age
in
place,
either
in
the
same
home,
assisted
living
facilities,
continuing
care
facilities
or
other
housing
types
within
the
same
community
housing
policy.
One
point
for
the
city
needs
to
encourage
the
location
of
housing,
design
for
senior
citizens
in
neighborhoods,
where
health
and
community
facilities
and
services
are
within
a
reasonable,
walking
distance
and
are
accessible
by
public
transportation.
N
This
is
a
site
that
meets
the
very
definition
of
your
housing
element
and
I
would
argue,
as
a
lifelong
resident
of
cambrian
of
district
9
I
have
a
son
who
rides
his
bike
every
day.
Applause
scout
somewhat
in
road,
yes,
traffic
in
the
morning
is
congested,
but
those
concerns
pale
in
regards
to
how
we,
as
a
city,
address
the
housing
crisis.
So
I
would
just
urge
you,
with
all
due
respect
to
people
that
may
have
a
different
opinion
on
this
project.
N
O
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Michelle
Kimball
with
the
Department
of
Public
Works
I
would
like
to
respond
to
mr.
George's
comments
regarding
the
project.
Driveway
location
sight,
distance
was
evaluated
at
the
northern
project
driveway
in
accordance
with
the
American
Association
of
State
Highway
and
Transportation
officials,
minimum
stopping
sight
distance
standards,
and
it
was
determined
that
the
sight
distance
was
adequate.
Additionally,
the
driveway
size
and
location
is
consistent
with
the
city
standard
requirements.
Thank
you.
P
Your
project
so
part
of
the
development
team,
so
I,
don't
know
anyway.
My
name
is
rod
hanmi
architect
for
the
for
the
development,
and
what
I
wanted
to
do
was
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
issue
of
the
height
and
mass,
because
in
order
to
accommodate
the
a
number
of
units
and
make
the
project
feasible,
we
did
need
to
go
to
four
storeys.
P
However,
I
think
we
mitigated
the
mass
to
a
great
degree,
so
there's
a
quotation
from
Henry
Cisneros
former
head
of
HUD,
that
good
design
is
the
antidote
to
density
and
what
we
did
was
first
off
push
the
building
as
far
away
from
neighbors
to
the
west
and
to
the
north
as
possible
and
from
the
creek.
Secondly,
we
provided
a
greater
setback
along
Union
than
is
required.
We
went
to
20
feet
rather
than
10
foot
requirement.
P
Third,
is
that
we
stepped
all
the
building
masses
so
that
there
are
three-story
edges
that
address
the
north
and
the
west
and
start
to
really
create
a
much
better
scale.
As
you
approach
the
edges
and
finally,
the
whole
building
is,
as
you
can
see,
from
the
design
highly
articulated.
One
can
imagine
a
four-story
monolithic
mass
would
have
a
very
different
impact
on
the
street
into
the
neighborhood.
Instead,
we
have
provided
a
series
of
masses
that
break
that
step,
that
step
back
and
create
I
think
much
more
properly
scale
in
in
building.
P
A
I
Thank
You,
chair
I,
just
for
the
purposes
of
discussion
and
move
things
forward,
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
staff
recommendation
and
also
incorporate
Commissioner
Dez
knees
comment
earlier
where
the
the
applicant
was
amenable
and
I
do
want.
If
staff
wants
to
answer
any
outstanding
questions,
but
this
is
strictly
a
land
use
item
and
we
have
to
as
planning
commissioners
judge
this
for
its
land
use
and
the
status
report
and
all
the
components
of
it
or
very
adequate
and
thorough.
F
You,
madam
chair
mm-hmm,
partly
in
response
to
the
architects
comments,
you'll
notice,
I
didn't
bring
up
the
flat
roof
questions
because
they
did
a
particularly
creative
job
of
varying
the
building
masses,
so
it
isn't
flat
roof
I
think
it
will
eventually
prove
to
be
an
attractive
asset
and
for
all
the
people
in
the
neighborhood
that
are
my
age
and
older.
It
gives
you
a
choice
for
the
future,
which
is
very
difficult
to
find
in
this
very
expensive
place
to
live.
Thank
you.
A
There
any
other
comments.
I
did
have
one
question
that
I
was
hoping
to
have
answered
before
or
voting,
and
that
would
be
about
the
bus,
stop
and
I
guess
just
what
the
rationale
was
in
I'm:
pushing
back
against
VTA
for
that
bus,
stop,
I,
understand
it's
not
needed
and
the
opinion
of
staff.
But
what
would
be?
Is
there
a
significant
cost
to
putting
a
bus
stop
there
and
because
most
of
the
time,
I
just
see
a
little
sign
and
a
bench?
Maybe
so
I
wondered
about
that.
E
So
for
I
can't
speak
to
the
cost,
but
for
the
purpose
of
this
project,
when
we
did
the
analysis
in
operation,
the
bus
stop
that's
currently
there
it's
still
usable
and
it
is
usable
and
there
was
known
doing
Nexus
to
require
the
applicant
in
order
to
require
them
to
add
a
new
bus.
Stop
not
even
a
relocation
but
a
new
bus
stop
which
is
only
800
feet
away
from
the
project
site.
At
this
point,.
A
O
You've
ever
tried
a
quick
question
following
up
on
that
regarding
I
guess:
responsibility
for
that
when
a
new
boss
step
has
initiated.
Obviously,
there's
got
to
be
some
coordination
with
VTA
because
they
have
to
actually
run
the
bus
to
that.
Stop
right.
So,
if
they're
requesting
it,
he
would
I
would
assume
that
they
were
okay
with
actually
putting
a
bus
at
that
stop.
E
My
understanding
is
that
if
we
are
to
condition
the
bus
out
there,
yes,
we
have
to
go
back
to
VTA
to
make
sure
that
that
is
still
operational,
because,
if
not
there's
two
paths
up
within
a
tour
of
you
from
each
other.
What
line
is
gonna
run
and
how
is
that
gonna
operate
regarding
charm?
Turning
and
everything
like
that,
so
there
would
be
additional
coordination
with
VTA
I.
O
A
A
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair
John,
to
supervising
kleiner
on
behalf
of
the
project
manager
before
Planning
Commission
this
evening.
Our
special

with
the
emphasis
on
establishing

down
till
the
analyst
the
the
analyzed
in

Q
The
project
is
consistent
with
the
general
plan,
designation
and
policies.
Additionally,
the
projects
consistent
with
the
downtown
primary
commercial
zoning
district,
a
supplementary
IR,
would
associate
the
mitigating
monitoring
and
reporting
program
were
prepared
for
this
project.
Since
posting
of
the
draft
resolution,
staff
would
like
to
include
an
additional
condition
for
the
downtown
financing
plan.
Bear
with
me
it's
kind
of
long
downtown
financing
plan.
The
city
said
the
San
Jose
City
Council
approved
envision
San
Jose
general
plan
2040
and
2011
the
deer
down
station
area
plan
in
2014
in
a
downtown
strategy
2040
in
2018.
Q
The
deer
Don
Klein
in
downtown
stride,
in
conjunction
with
the
general
plan,
provides
a
framework
for
development
located
in
downtown
San
Jose
the
cities
in
the
process
of
developing
financing
plan
for
the
dirt
on
plan
in
the
entire
downtown
to
fund
public
improvements,
affordable
housing,
other
amenities
and
services.
The
financing
plan
may
include
the
creation
of
community
facility
districts,
enhanced
efficient
financial
district
property
based
Improvement
Districts
mitigation
impact,
fee
programs,
commercial
linkage,
fee
programs
and
other
financing
mechanism
or
combination
thereof.
Q
The
cities
in
the
process
of
amending
the
deer
and
I'm
piling
up
beating
the
deer
down
basic
infrastructure,
impacting
update
to
the
deer
non
basic
intro
infrastructure
impacting
may
include
expansion
of
impact
P
to
other
areas
of
downtown.
The
city
has
the
right
to
the
city
staff,
to
complete
studies
and
make
recommendations
related
to
the
commercial
impact
fee
to
help
fund,
affordable
housing
for
the
city's
developing
a
downtown
transportation
find
them
require
funding
to
construct
the
public
in
from
identify
the
downtown
transportation
plan.
Q
These
efforts
ongoing
and
therefore
couldn't
be
similar
to
studies,
various
funding
mechanism
for
public
improvements,
affordable
housing,
other
midi
and
services
omit
in
the
downtown.
By
accepting
this
permit,
including
the
condition
aside
approved
forth
in
the
permit
for
me,
acknowledge
that
has
rather
understood
all
the
above
or
any
further
degrees.
The
parts
of
the
issue
of
any
building
permit.
The
perm
project
shall
be
subject
to
fully
participate
in
and
pay
any
and
all
charges
fees,
and
many
of
these
are
taxes,
including
any
City.
Q
Council
approved
financing
plan
a
promoted,
downtown
and,
as
may
be
amended,
which
may
include
one
or
more
the
financed.
That
mechanism
identified
above
so
that
was
the
condition
that
we
decided
to
the
resolution.
We
also
provide
an
additional
copies
to
you
guys
earlier
today
as
well.
We
will
mend
the
resolution
as
it
goes
with
City
Council,
to
include
that
condition.
Therefore,
staff
recommends
that
the
Planning
Commission
recommended
doctrine
of
the
special
use
department
best
intended
a
map
and
supplemental
you
I.
Our
resolution.
R
K
R
Very
good
project
going
forward,
but
it's
also
been
one:
that's
taken
some
time
and
the
time
and
effort
that
have
gone
into
it.
It
is
for
the
staff
to
evaluate
our
opportunity
to
get
two
different
types
of
housing,
depending
on
really
where
the
market
is
is
going
in
heading.
We
are
working
currently
with
another
project
on
a
co-living
basis,
but
we
also
had
the
interest
to
keep
this
one
as
an
option
for
for
co-living
at
this
particular
time.
R
We're
looking
at
a
multi-family
project
with
a
group
out
of
Boston
they're
london-based
but
they're,
also
having
often
in
Boston.
My
brother
and
I
intend
to
stay
and
I
involved
in
this
project
throughout
its
construction
and
completion
and
we're
looking
forward
to
doing
so
tonight.
I
have
with
me
members
of
the
team,
including
the
architectural
firm,
c2k,
Kevin
Saucer
and
Nathan
Miller,
along
with
our
civil
engineer,
Pete
Smith
with
Charles
Davidson
associates
and
the
environmental
team
kimly
horn,
which
also
did
traffic
analysis
and
analysis
as
it
relates
to
the
the
parking
of
the
project
itself.
R
So
I'm
gonna
rest
here.
Let
me
the
new
Miller,
give
you
an
overview.
I
know
the
plans
when
you
reduce
it,
set
of
plans
for
a
high-rise
project
down
to
a
size
that
can
be
photocopied.
It's
sometimes
a
little
difficult
to
read
so
I
wanted
him
to
be
here
to
be
able
to
walk
you
through
some
of
the
details
that
are
going
into
this
particular
project.
Thank
you.
B
B
Little
closer
closer
view
of
the
site,
the
project
directly
across
the
street
to
the
north
is,
as
I
saw
today,
almost
complete
and,
as
Mark
said,
and
as
you
saw
in
the
staff
report,
we're
pursuing
two
approvals
for
multifamily
290
units
and
option.
Two
would
be
Co
living
project
for
the
multifamily
project.
B
On
the
right
hand,
side
is
the
ground
floor
plan
and
the
main
residential
entry
would
be
off
of
Reed
Street,
and
that
would
leave
about
five
thousand
square
feet
of
retail
space
available
on
first
Street.
There
will
be
two
parking
entries
with
the
multifamily
option,
one
off
of
first
Street
and
one
off
of
the
alley
when
we
change.
If,
if
we
were
to
go
to
a
curling
project,
one
of
those
parking
entries
would
go
away,
so
the
entry
off
of
first
Street
would
go
away
and
we'll
be
left
with
an
entry
off
of
the
alley.
B
B
Now
the
co-learning
option
on
a
typical
floor
would
have
32
bedroom
units.
Each
of
those
bedroom
units
would
have
sleeping
areas,
some
would
have
private
bathrooms
and
some
would
share
bathrooms
and
then
on
each
floor
at
the
north
end
would
be
a
common
area
where
residents
would
share
cooking
dining
and
living
room
spaces
and
then
in
the
central
portion
of
the
plan.
Next
to
the
elevators,
our
meeting
rooms
and
laundry.
B
And
then
on
the
coal
living
option,
the
upper
floor
would
be
dedicated
entirely
to
you
in
many
spaces,
fitness
rooms,
working
lounges
and
the
pool
deck
as
well
on
the
elevations.
This
on
the
right
hand,
side
is
the
West
elevation
which
faces
first
Street
and
at
the
bottom
you
can
see.
The
facade
of
the
existing
building
would
be
retained.
On
the
left
side
is
the
North
elevation
that
which
pages
faces
Reade
Street,
which
is
where
the
main
residential
entry
is
located,
and
then
you
can
see
where
you
know
this
is
a
tall.
A
L
I
L
A
S
My
name
is
John
Mitchell
I'm,
a
board
member
of
the
preservation,
Action
Council
and
myself
personally,
I
think
this
looks
like
a
really
nice
building
here
and
the
puppy
be
area
appropriate
to
have
some
housing
like
this
being
a
preservations.
We
got
one
little
city,
two
little
situations
that
involves
the
paulsen
house.
It's
a
four
unit
apartment
building
built
around
1910
by
Frank
wolf.
S
It
was
designed
by
Frank
wolf
if
you're
not
familiar
with
the
gentleman,
he
was
sort
of
early
20th
century
Sam
as
the
architect
very
popular
I
did
mostly
single
residential
high
family
homes,
and
this
is
a
four
unit
apartment
building.
So
it's
kind
of
rare.
You
could
consider
him
to
be
the
Frank
Lloyd
Wright
of
San
Jose.
There
are
books
out
on
this
gentleman.
You
can.
S
You
can
read
up
on
him,
so
our
concern
is
that
we
were
originally
thought
that
there
was
going
to
be
a
place
to
move
this
building
so
that
the
Builder
could
go
ahead
and
put
up
this
building,
which
is
needed,
and
it's
fine
and
it's
only
a
few
blocks
away
and
then
I
just
find
out
Monday
from
our
City
Historic
Preservation
officer.
Mr.
Roy,
oh,
that
there
was
some
there's
a
lot.
It's
owned
right
there
at
the
corner
of
4th
and
Reed
it's
just
as
4th
Street
goes
on
to
280.
S
There
was
a
little
plot
of
land
there,
and
this
spectacular
building
could
be
placed
there
and
as
I
understand
it.
This
building.
This
lot
is
owned
by
the
city,
housing
department
and
it
I
guess.
It
was
planned
that
we
could
move
this
spectacular
piece
of
early
San
Jose
Architecture
to
this
lot,
it'd
be
a
great
building
on
a
kind
of
a
awkward
lot.
You
could
say
it's
a
$10
haircut
on
a
$2
head
in
that
regard,
but
it
would
be
a
win
for
San
Jose
and
keeping
this
bit
of
historic
architecture.
S
In
fact,
it
would
even
be
a
plus
for
our
gentleman
friend
here
the
Builder,
because
he
would
be
involved
with
helping
to
preserve
this
piece
of
architecture.
Miss
Arroyo
was
supposed
to
be
here
this
evening.
To
give
me
the
update
on
the
status
of
the
housing,
Department's
involvement
with
this
piece
of
property
and
what
they
hold
up
was
there.
Otherwise,
it's
a
it's
a
win-win
situation.
S
A
J
All
right,
it
includes
typos,
so
you
know
it's
not
artificial
intelligence.
Hopefully
it's
some
intelligence
I
like
Saudagar,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
axon
jose.
I
want
to
disclose
that
we
have
met
with
the
developer.
We
really
like
the
developer,
and
hopefully
he
understands
that
the
cause
that
we're
pursuing
is
not
anything
more
than
just
trying
to
preserve
our
historic
fabric.
J
Here
in
San
Jose
we've
used
600
South
1st
Street,
as
the
bookend
of
what
we
believe
is
San
Jose
is
true,
Main
Street,
and
we
believe
that
there
will
be
efforts
to
push
that
forward
in
the
future.
Based
on
the
review
of
this
project,
we
are
recommending
that
you
not
approve
the
special
use
permit
that
allows
the
demolition
of
the
very
rare,
Frank,
wolf
and
McKenzie
building
that
John
just
described.
J
We
would
also
like
to
comment
on
the
status
of
the
city
center.
Motel,
diving,
lady,
real
quickly
here.
The
position
that
we
have
on
this
is
that
if
the
project
has
to
go
forward,
the
building
should
be
moved
and
that
we
should
use
extreme
diligence
and
figuring
out
how
to
do
that,
and
not
just
use
a
mitigation
measure
of
60
days
notice
to
sell
the
building
to
somebody
else.
That
would
need
the
help
of
the
city
to
be
able
to
move
it
effectively.
J
We'd
also
like
to
request
that
the
diving
lady
sign
a
historical
sign,
we
believe,
would
not
be
carved
up
but
would
be
kept
in
its
current
state
wherever
it
ends
up.
We
respectfully
request
that
the
developer,
if
they
do
not
want
to
do
that,
that
they
would
relinquish
the
sign
to
either
history
San
Jose
pack,
San,
Jose
or
the
county,
so
it
could
be
celebrated
by
all
the
public,
not
just
at
the
elevation
at
the
top
of
the
building.
J
There
are
several
things
that
we
believe
distinguish:
San
Jose
and
these
buildings.
This
four-plex
is
absolutely
unique
as
a
as
a
wolf
and
McKenzie
building.
There
are
virtually
no
others
that
are
for
plexes,
and
so
one
it's
once
it's
gone,
it's
gone.
A
final
comment
from
Packer
is
that
we
would
are
we
done
yeah.
J
It's
it's
just.
We
find
it
odd
that
any
developer
wouldn't
be
able
to
declare
which
way.
They're
gonna
go
with
the
project,
and
we
do
think
that,
when
you're
trying
to
evaluate
how
to
respond
to
a
project
as
the
public,
it
would
be
fair
to
know
what
the
overall
impact,
whether
it's
693
bedrooms
or
274
condos.
Thank
you.
Thank.
R
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I'll,
make
this
quick
with
respect
to
the
palace
and
home
prior
to
acquiring
the
property.
Over
the
last
two
years,
our
our
office
has
been
doing
very
diligent
efforts
trying
to
find
a
location
to
repurpose
this
this
home.
There
is
a
lot
at
fourth
and
in
read
and
were
open
to
move
the
home
there.
R
We
were
fortunate
South
Pissarro,
rented
an
article
in
in
his
in
the
mercury
news
about
our
willingness
to
relocate
the
home
if
free
to
charge,
and
we
also
ran
a
Mercury
News
ad
advertising,
the
home
in
May
of
this
year,
we've
received
about
twenty
different
inquiries
for
the
home.
There's
some
logistic
challenges
to
to
move
the
home
without
cutting
it
in
half
and
moving
in
underneath
the
freeway
and
others
have
to
do
with
whether
or
not
it
would
be
appropriately
sited
in
an
historic
context.
R
So
we
are
still
open.
There
isn't
a
rush
to
that.
We
do
have
City
Council
hearing
coming
up
and
we
do
have
the
conditions
of
approval,
which
will
be
additional,
noticing
efforts
to
do
that.
But
if
there
is
an
opportunity
to
move
it
will
move
it
with
respect
to
the
sign,
that's
kind
of
funny
on
on
the
garden-gate
sign.
R
When
we
were
moving
forward
and
we
looked
at
the
hotel
sign,
we
thought
what,
if
what
a
fun
opportunity
to
repurpose
this
sign
in
the
sofa
district
sort
of
a
unique
a
sign,
put
it
on
the
top
of
the
building,
and
you
do
have
a
lot
of
people
that
to
her
something
down,
Highway
280
and
least
will
be
an
attraction
for
them
to
say
wow.
What's
up
there,
that's
sort
of
neat
not
only
honor
the
residents
going
to
enjoy
enjoy,
but
their
guests
as
well.
R
But
having
said
that,
we're
also
open
if
there
is
really
a
place
to
to
put
the
sign
at
the
fairgrounds
or
another
location.
We
donated
a
sign
for
that
with
that
was
part
of
the
Greyhound
development
to
history,
sound
as
they
actually
got
permission
from
Greyhound,
because
it
was
their
property,
not
ours.
In
this
case,
when
we
purchased
the
property,
it
included
the
design.
So
we're
open
to
that.
R
Today's
market
capital
markets
are
challenging
it
at
best
in
and
we
do
need
that
flexibility
and,
as
I
say,
we're
gearing
towards
apartments
multifamily
apartments,
but
that
can
change
and
it
can
change
very
quickly
and
if
we
want
to
be
able
to
be
open
to
entertaining
other
cold,
loving
operators
that
are
evaluating
San
Jose
is
a
place
to
be
when
the
first
one
gets
built.
I
have
a
feeling
of
those
could
be
more
to
follow
because
it's
a
very
enticing
product
type.
Thank
you.
A
R
We've
been
looking
at
lot
sizes
is
this
as
small
as
3,700
feet,
but
as
much
as
9,000
feet.
My
understanding
is
that
in
our
civil
engineers
here
he
did
a
plot
plan
on
this
particular
lot
at
fourth
and
Anne
Reed
to
plot
that
home
on
there
and
I
don't
know
if
Pete
Smith
knows
off
the
top
of
his
head.
What
the
what
the
square
footage
was.
A
R
Looked
at
it
both
ways,
purchasing
the
site
and
moving
the
home
and
then
rear-ending
the
units
they
do
fall
under
the
Ellis
Act,
and
so
therefore
there
they
still
that
still
continues
with
the
building.
That's
part
of
the
concern
that
others
had
if
they
said
if
we
acquired
it,
you
know
what
are
our
restrictions
what's
very
interesting
about
that
whole
process
is
those
tenants
that
were
in
the
building
that
were
notified
were
on
a
month-to-month.
R
So
if
the
real
question
is
what
is
the
start
rate
for
the
tenants
understanding
and
under
the
Atlas
act,
you
start
out
out
at
the
market
rate
rent
and
increase
it
a
maximum
of
5%
per
year,
but
that
was
some
of
the
issues
that
we
had
when
people
made
it
in
for
it,
because
they
just
could
not.
You
know,
get
comfortable
that
they
could
take
it
and
then
rent
it
out
to
the
free
market.
R
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
to
do
that
if
the
if
the
city
had
identified
a
affordable
housing
builder
that
was
interested
in
the
4th
Street
lot,
so
they
would
have
participation
in
either
the
acquisition
of
that
parcel
and/or
the
foundation,
whatever
that
was
necessary
to
bring
them
the
home
up
to
a
standards.
One
could
occupy
I.
T
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
a
question
for
you
or
for
staff,
but
you
mentioned
the
two
options:
the
multifamily
option
and
then
the
the
co-living
option,
and
and
that
you
weren't
ready
to
make
a
decision
one
way
or
the
other,
and
that's
why
they're
both
options
are
kind
of
coming
forward.
I
was
just
curious
as
to
what
sort
of
criteria
you
weigh
in
and
at
what
point
do
you
make
that
decision,
because
the
they
look
very
different
they'd
be
the
different
builds,
and
so
what
at
what
point?
T
R
R
What
I
don't
want
to
get
in
position
is
making
that
decision
with
them.
Interest
rates,
tick
up,
construction
cost
go
further
up
and
they
get
cold
feet,
and
then
we
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
entertain
the
co
living
option.
The
beauty
of
this
is
that
exterior
of
the
building
stays
the
same.
The
interior
amenities
are
modified
with
some
slight
variations
to
the
elevations.
C
Actually
it's
before
that,
because
you
are
not
going
to
be
pulling
building
permits
before
you
have
your
final
map
for
the
division
of
the
property.
And
so
you
know
you
are
combining
the
property
I
think
there
are
two
Lots
currently
you're,
combining
you're
merging
them
into
a
single
and
then
you're,
creating
six
condominium
units
under
one
scenario
and
more
than
200
under
another
scenario,
the
270
or
so
residential
units
and
the
five
commercial
units.
C
O
Thank
You
mr.
Dickstein
I
said
a
quick
question
regarding
how
any
potential
revenue
projections
might
play
into
your
decision
between
the
two
options
and
if
you've
I
mean
I'm
guessing
you've
done
some
sort
of
revenue
projections
based
on
the
two
models
and
that's
part
of
your
consideration.
But
if
you
could
speak
to
that,
you
need
to
tell
me
exactly
how
much
you're
looking
at.
But
if
you
could
tell
me
how
much
that
plays
into
your
consideration
between.
R
These
these
projects
are
very
difficult
to
to
get
out
of
the
ground,
as
the
discussion
has
been
in
Prior
money,
planet
condition
settings
but
council
settings.
So
what
we
have
to
do
is
we
do
run
the
analysis
of
the
co-living
compared
to
the
multifamily.
What
is
one
of
the
stumbling
blocks
right
now
for
collating
is?
It
has
not
been
built
to
this
scale,
and
so
it
is.
R
O
Asked
because
I'm
just
being
a
lay
person
and
not
necessarily
understanding
all
the
nuances
of
what
you
have
to
go
through
with
finance
in
these
projects.
Hearing
numbers
like
the
average
single
fan
or
a
single
bedroom
apartment
in
San
Jose
rents
for
about
2,500
a
month
that
changes
quite
a
bit
constantly,
but
also
hearing
from
co-living
developers
who
have
come
before
us
when
we
were
considering
the
co-living
zoning
ordinance
and
regulations
telling
us
that
some
of
these
beds
could
rent
for
as
much
as
$2,100
a
month
for
a
single
bed.
O
So
when
you're
talking
about
seven
hundred
ninety
three
beds
versus
2290
Apartments,
given
that
some
of
them
are
going
to
fluctuate
between,
you
know
varying
levels
of
rent
on
the
apartment
side
of
things,
just
back
at
the
napkin,
you
could
make
a
substantial
amount
more
on
the
co-living
project
than
you
could
on
the
multifamily,
depending
on
how
the
rents
break
down.
But
he's
from
what
I've
heard
from
the
developers
I
mean
that's
more
of
a
comment
than
a
question.
I
appreciate.
R
That
comment
I
do
want
to
mention
to
you
that
as
well,
which
we're
really
excited
about
is
this
particular
group
out
of
Boston
focuses
in
on
faculty
housing,
housing
for
medical
professionals,
nurses,
and
so
what
we're
looking
at
with
this
with
this
design
team
is
really
refining
the
unit's
building
in
the
amenities,
along
with
the
furniture
for
the
bedrooms,
to
save
that
particular
cost,
and
really
try
to
drive
more
studios
smaller
units
within
the
boundaries
of
the
project.
So
this
is
these.
Are
the
discussions
we're
having
with
this
particular
group.
R
B
F
H
Good
evening,
chair
members
of
the
Planning
Commission
David
Camm
principal
planner,
for
the
environment
review
team.
At
this
moment,
I
do
not
have
any
more
updates
beyond
the
fact
that
they're
working
out
something
about
this
4th
Street
property,
but
I
do
not
have
any
of
other
more
updates
beyond
that.
At
this
time,.
Q
There
is
additional
kind
of
discussion
given
it
is
city
property,
but
there
is
all
the
additional
lands
around
it
with
the
site
fit
specifically.
How
would
the
Ellis
Act
apply
on
a
new
property?
Would
you
have
to
put
a
bid
out
for
different
aspects,
so
those
things
have
been
in
the
discussion,
and
so
things
are
still
ongoing
for
those
specific
issues.
Oh.
F
I
can
certainly
understand
why
the
historic
preservation
community
would
be
concerned
that
once
the
discretionary
decisions
are
made,
their
chance
of
getting
this
mitigation
goes
down
a
little.
Is
there
given
all
the
various
things
that
are
going
on?
Is
there
any
possibility?
There
might
be
some
kind
of
an
answer
before
this
goes
to
council.
H
This
project
will
have
to
go
to
City
Council
because
it
as
a
statement
of
overriding
consideration
as
a
significant
unavoidable
impact
for
the
e.I
are
currently
the
tentative
council
date
is
the
19th
of
November.
So
if
there
is
additional
time
there
I
don't
know
if
their
ability
to
push
that
date
so
now
more
time,
but
right
now
that
is
the
current.
The
plan
was
to
bring
it
to
the
19th
of
November.
H
That's
not,
you
know,
that's
just
over
a
month
away
so
and
I'm
not
sure
about
them.
You
know
to
figure
out
with
the
housing
department
and
other
departments
in
order
to
coordinate
to
actually
cement
and
the
deal
in
order
to
move
the
house
by
the
19th.
But
that's
you
know
something
that
if
there
was
a
little
desire
to
potentially
extend
the
console
should
give
more
time
I
could
see
you
know.
I
could
see
that.
F
H
A
O
I
You
Commissioner
Allen
yeah
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
with
the
staff
recommendation,
understanding
that
the
City
Council
will
have
the
opportunity
to
review
and
I'm
sure
the
historic
officer
will
be
back
at
City
Hall
within
a
couple
of
days,
wherever
they
are
to
have
an
understanding
of
that.
Otherwise,
the
IR
has
been
done
on
the
building
and
I
do
want
to
say
that
a
this
meets
the
goal
of
the
general
plan
about
putting
density
within
the
core
of
the
city
and
the
option
of
providing
two
different
options.
I
think
is
beneficial.
I
It's
not
our.
You
know
purview
to
figure
out
what
the
rate
of
return
is
for
the
applicant
at
the
end
of
the
day,
that's
their
decision
where
they
want
to
risk
or
not.
On
Monday
night
I
attended
the
national
development
council
seminar
on
housing
financing,
and
it
is
not
easy
to
build
anything
because,
no
matter
what
you
build
market
rate
or
low
income,
you
need
people
to
fund
it,
and
we
often
look
at
developers
and
think
that
they're
some
people
do
and
they
have
some
negative
connotation.
I
These
are
greedy
people,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
they
have
no
ability
to
build
anything
unless
they
get
a
construction
loan
and
all
the
other
financing
to
do
that
and
the
institutions
will
not
provide
the
loan
unless
there's
the
return
and
that
return
is
really
dependent
on
density
and
that's
where
these
projects
are
very
difficult
because
of
the
things
that
we
all
know
in
the
paper:
labor
cost
material
cost,
etc.
So,
ultimately,
you
know
planning
staff
decided
to
provide
options.
I
O
You
I,
guess
I
question
clarifying
from
staffer,
possibly
the
attorney
and
she's
I
think
she
said
it
earlier,
but
were
we
to
approve
the
motion,
as
stated
they
no
matter
which
option
they
develop,
they
would
be.
It
would
be
contingent
upon
the
conditions
applied
to
each
option
within
what
we're
approving
tonight
right.
So
it's
not
necessarily
the
question
of
then
getting
able
to
change
the
project
itself.
It's
just
changing.
They
won't
be
able
to
change
one
of
the
OP.
You
can
choose
a
beach
one
of
the
options
and
not
necessarily
change
them.
O
I'm,
not
terribly
comfortable
with
providing
the
options.
I,
don't
see
why
we're
doing
that
on
this
project
and
I'd
never
really
seen
that
before
I,
don't
I
think
it's
a
scale
of
a
project
where
you
should
have
some
certainty
as
to
what
you're
going
to
do
and
provide
the
city
with
that
certainty.
So
we
can
make
an
appropriate
decision.
I
do
think
there
are
significant
differences
between
the
impacts
of
a
co-living
development
and
the
multifamily
developments,
so
I'm
not
comfortable
supporting
the
motion.
O
A
Maybe
I'll
make
some
comments,
and
so,
unlike
Commissioner
Allen
I'm
comfortable
with
the
two
options,
I
think
both
of
them
are
great
projects
and
would
be
well
situated
in
that
particular
location.
The
thing
that
I'm
not
comfortable
with
is
the
demolition
I
think
almost
certain
demolition
of
a
national,
something
that's
on
the
National,
Register
and
I.
A
It's
really
almost
a
negative
value
in
that
someone
would
have
to
take
it,
they
would
have
to
set
the
foundation,
and
so
it
is
about
really
preserving
this
building
and
the
cost
of
preserving
it
and
and
I'm
not
comfortable
with
allowing
60
days
to
advertise
it
and
prior
to
the
demolition.
It
seems
like
the
I
would
approve
the
projects
but
require
that
the
buildings
be
relocated
prior
to
approval,
not
the
building's
plural,
just
the
one
building.
A
That's
on
the
National
Register,
as
well
as
the
you
know,
ensign,
which
that
sounds
like
that's,
not
an
issue,
so:
okay,
Oh,
Ella,
jables,
I'm,
sorry
eligible
for
the
National
Register,
so
that's
sort
of
where,
where
I
come
out
on
this,
and
so
if
that
was
a
an
amendment
that
I
could
propose
to
the
Supplemental
a
I
are
of.
If
we
adjust
the
condition
such
that
the
applicant
would
be
required
to
preserve
the
building
through
relocating
it,
then
I
would
support
the
motion.
I
Comment
on
that
since
I
have
the
motion
the
applicant
mentioned.
This
was
much
earlier
than
60
days.
They
started
this
process
in
May
at
exposure
and
it
was
a
South
bizarro
Mercury
News
article.
They
had
20-plus
people
approach
at
the
end
of
the
day.
We've
seen
this
many
times
where
people
offer
to
provide
a
building
for
free,
but
no
one
will
take
it.
So
in
the
end,
you
also
have
an
environmental
impact
report
to
review
the
structure.
I
It's
not
a
and
mark
it
may
be
eligible
for,
but
it
is
not,
and
my
motion
defers
to
the
City
Council,
because
the
City
Council
has
flexibility.
So,
for
example,
the
City
Council
controls
the
land
at
4th
and
Reid
Planning
Commission
does
not
the
City
Council
may
decide.
You
know
what
we
don't
want
to
do:
a
low-income
housing
development
at
4th
and
Reid.
We
want
to
relocate
this
building
or
do
combination
of
that.
But
that's
where
the
council
has
the
flexibility
and
I
wouldn't
want
to
hold
up.
I
A
J
I
think
in
supporting
Commissioner
Oliveros
position,
because
I
think
that's
exactly
why
I'm
seconding
the
motion,
a
City
Council,
does
have
that
flexibility.
I
think
we
do
want
to
be
able
to
allow
for
them
to
move
the
project
forward
and
give
the
City
Council
the
opportunity
to
weigh
in
and
if
they
see
that
it's
an
opportunity
to
do
so
utilize
that
flexibility
may
I
ask
a
question
of
the
applicant
for
a
second
just
big
picture
here.
Ballpark
you've
mentioned
all
of
the
things
you've
done
to
to
save
this
historic
building.
R
Working
on
it
for
over
two
years-
okay,
so
you,
along
with
a
lot
of
who
actually
is
a
property
owner
who
specializes
in
historic
buildings
and
and
moving
of
those
buildings.
So
we've
engaged
his
services
as
well
to
evaluate
these
Lots.
So
it's
been
an
ongoing
process
for
as
I
say
for
over
24
months.
So
two.
J
F
Part
of
the
issue
that
I
heard
in
the
discussion
is
that
we're
being
very,
very
fussy
about
where
we
want
this
building
to
go,
because
in
order
to
preserve
its
historic
integrity,
it
has
to
be
in
a
neighborhood,
that's
suitable
for
it.
Well,
that's
something
else.
The
City
Council
could
decipher
it's
not
really
necessary.
We
have
an
e
I
are
on
file
that
identifies
demolition,
so
the
worst
level
of
impact
has
been
analyzed
anything
less
than
that
is
also
included
in
the
scope
of
the
environmental
analysis.
F
So
if
the
City
Council
wants
to
make
a
decision
that
they're
going
to
put
it
down
in
a
less-than-perfect
site
in
order
to
preserve
the
structure
for
the
future,
then
that's
a
decision
that's
available
to
them
as
I
understand
it.
I
actually
found
Commissioner
Oliveros
the
argument
very
persuasive,
I,
don't
care
about
the
two
uses.
The
ER
has
analyzed
them
and
completely
the
City
Council
can
choose
whichever
one
they
want
if
they
want,
if
they
don't
want
the
uncertainty,
but
it
gives
us
more
possibilities
and
right
now,
that's
what
we
need
downtown.
F
T
Think
I
have
a
clarifying
question,
possibly
first
staff
in
the
report.
I
noticed
that
the
290
multifamily
unit
was
0%,
affordable
and
yet
the
793
was
considered
a
hundred
percent
affordable.
Can
you
explain
a
little
bit
more
about
it
kind
of
what
it?
Yes,
it's
it's
strange
and
just
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
T
How
is
the
if
the
290
unit
goes
forward
with
zero
percent
affordability?
What
are
the
mitigating
sort
of
excuse
me?
This
is
like
my
first
real
one,
so
I'm
not
sure
how
to
frame
this
question
but
like
what?
What
is
the
developer
doing
in
order
to
mitigate
the
fact
that
there's
no
affordability
within
this
project?
Thank
you.
Q
So
I
would
like
to
know
first
work
part
she's
referencing
about
where
it
says
it's
affordable
and
not.
The
project
is
not
proposing
it
to
be
deed,
restricted
as
affordable
housing,
but
it
would
be
subject
to
our
city's
Housing,
Policy
and
hanging
their
impact
fees
are
providing
units
on
that
prior
to
being
issue
of
a
building
permit.
They
do
have
to
go
to
the
housing
department
to
see
what
a
fees
would
be
assessed
on
the
property
or
would
be
as
part
of
it.
Q
T
You
so
it's
pages
281
and
283
of
the
revised
report
so
and
it's
the
it's
part
of
the
city
of
San
Jose
vehicle
miles,
traveled,
evaluation,
tool,
summary
reports
and
it
says
under
land
use
that
for
the
290
unit,
building
at
0%,
affordable.
But
then
on
page
283
for
the
793
it
says
it's:
a
hundred
percent,
affordable,
extremely
low
income,
less
than
30
percent
MFI
I.
T
T
C
T
T
C
O
J
J
Strategy
2040,
so
this
is
more
informational
item.
It's
in
terms
of
affordability.
There
is
there's
none
that
it's
really
included
as
part
of
this
project,
so
that
that
might
be
a
an
error
in
that
sketch
tool,
though
so
that
sketch
tool
is
really
again
to
evaluate
the
vehicle
miles
traveled
for
this
particular
project.
H
H
2024
de
IR,
this
dir
at
a
programmatic
level,
assumed
a
certain
amount
of
development,
residential
and
commercial
within
downtown,
and
that
was
evaluated
for
beamed
vehicle
miles,
traveled
impacts
and
found
to
be
less
than
significant,
due
to
its
location
to
the
mix
of
uses
and
close
to
transit.
This
is
and
this
analysis
and
the
downtown
strategy
2040
air
did
not
assume
a
certain
breakdown
and
affordability
or
not
so
it.
