You'll

View

to
the
meeting
on

the
internet
as
far
as
the
city's
website
and
YouTube
following
roll
call
during
the
summary
of
hearing
procedural
review,
how
the
public
May
provide
comment
during
today's
session.
So
if
a
roll
call
commissioner
larden
Watt
here,
commissioner
alawalia.
B
B
No,
you
don't
great!
So
moving
on
this
procedure
as
follows,
staff
will
call
out
names
of
the
public
who
identified
the
way
they
want
to
speak.
You
may
identify
Yourself
by
clicking
on
the
raised
hand,
feature
and
zoom
or
click
star
nine.
If
you're
calling
in
on
the
phone
as
your
name
is
called
City
staff
will
unmute
you
to
speak
after
we
confirm
your
audio
is
working.
Your
allotted
time
will
begin.
Each
speaker
will
have
up
to
two
minutes,
but
potentially
less.
B
If
we
have
too
many
speakers,
speakers
using
a
translator
will
have
double
the
time
playing.
Commissioners
may
ask
questions
of
the
staff
response
to
commissioner
questions
will
not
reduce
the
speaker's
time
allowance
staff.
Will?
What
really
doesn't
matter
for
this,
because
this
is
a
study
session
and
I
think
we're
good
staff
are.
Do
we
do
public
com?
Here
we
go
roll
call
somebody
orders
of
the
day,
so
I
guess
we
would
be
doing
public
comment
for
the
study
session,
which
again
would
have
absolutely
nothing
to
do
with
the
study
session.
B
C
Okay,
first
I
think
was
Deborah
Deborah.
You
are
unmuted,
go
ahead
and
unmute
yourself,
foreign.
B
C
A
E
B
Invisible
to
us
staff.
B
E
Oh
posted
from
the
Horseshoe
go
ahead.
I
would
appreciate
maybe
a
10
second
prompt,
no
problem
Paul.
Thank
you
go
for
it.
I
I
would
like
to
announce
to
this
Planning
Commission
is
that
at
the
historical
landmarks
commission
meeting
with
respect
to
Souza
suko
or
whatever
it
was
right
there
on
the
corner
of
4th
and
Santa
Clara,
it
just
I
mean
got
completely
shut
down.
They
they
were,
they
were
just
like
this
is
not
happening.
This
is
so
I.
Advise
you
to
start
listening
to
those
meetings.
E
I
literally
go
to
every
single
meeting,
so
I
know
who's
lying
I
know,
who's
lying
I
know
who's,
not
not
being.
Oh.
No,
no
I
won't
use
lying
disingenuous.
That's
the
polite
word,
that's
the
polite
way
of
saying
it.
So
what
I'm
saying
is
that
you
guys
know
what's
going
on
I
know:
what's
going
on,
you
see
it
I
see
it
I'm,
the
one
that
calls
out
but
I'm
perceived
as
the
bad
guy,
but
yet
the
outcomes
are
legitimate.
Every
single
outcome
that
I
call
is
legitimate.
They
shut
it
down.
E
It
was
unanimous
because
they
knew
that
the
historical
Integrity
of
that
building
number
one
was
going
to
be
compromised.
Number
two
was
the
fear-mongering
that
those
dudes
came
in
with
that
somehow
or
another
gentrifying
these
areas
and
yes,
we're
going
to
rid
crime.
If
we
just
put
up
this
building
and
and
rid
ourselves
of
the
refuse
of
this
of
of
the
citizenry,
but
we
need
to
start
asking
ourselves
a
question:
we
need
to
start
studying,
euthentics.
E
E-U-T-H-E-N-T-I-C-S
you
fentix
eufentix
is
a
science
which
means
there's
predictable
outcomes.
Okay
and
what
it
means
is
the
creation
of
spaces
and
places
as
a
precursor
to
Eugenics.
Now
we
all
know
what
Eugenics
is.
Okay
and
euphetics
is
a
precursor
to
that.
So,
basically,
what
this
man
was
doing
was
applying
the
principles
of
euphinics
10.
E
Thank
you
for,
in
order
to
Institute
a
policy
of
eugenics,
which
means
you're
reading
yourself
and
reading
the
community
of
a
particular
race
of
people
that
have
experienced
redlining
and
historical
injustices.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Paul,
okay,.
B
You
any
other
public
comment:
staff
I
mean
goes
to
public
comment,
yeah,
that's
all
okay,
great
and
acknowledge
all
the
folks
that
have
come,
and
let's
see
here,
let's
see
here.
Okay
back
now,
we're
on
for
the
study
session.
So
this
is
the
draft
housing
element
update
six
cycle
with
Ruth
Cueto,
who
will
be
presenting
foreign?
B
I
Great
okay,
let
me
see.
I
Can
you
see
the
presentation?
Yes?
Okay,
great
so
good
evening,
my
name
is
Ruth
Cueto
I'm,
a
supervising,
planner
overseeing
the
housing
element,
update
I'm,
also
working
on
this,
with
Michael
Brio
and
David
Yang
on
the
planning
division.
We
also
have
members
of
the
housing
department
here
with
us
today:
Kristin
Clements
and
Joshua
ishimatsu,
who
are
also
part
of
the
housing
element
team.
I
This
is
our
agenda
for
tonight.
We'll
give
an
overview
of
the
housing
element.
Requirements
present
our
findings
on
these
sections
two
through
five
and
then
discuss
the
timeline
and
approval
and
have
some
time
for
question
and
answers
or
comments.
I
So
the
housing
element
is
the
city's
official
policy
document,
it's
required
by
state
law
and
incorporated
into
each
City's
General
plan
to
guide
housing
policy.
The
current
housing
element
expires
next
year
and
the
next
cycle
will
go
from
2023
to
2031
and
it's
due
to
the
state
in
early
2023..
In
addition
to
fulfilling
state
law
and
refreshing
our
housing
policies,
the
update
is
also
an
opportunity
to
have
a
conversation
with
San
Jose's
residence
and
stakeholders
about
San
Jose's
growth
and
development.
I
This
chart
breaks
down
the
city's
new
Arena
goals.
Regional
Housing
needs
allocation
goals
to
accommodate
62
262
200
new
homes.
It
breaks
it
down
by
income
level
of
the
units
needed
just
to
note
that
for
the
first
one
very
low
income,
it
also
includes
extremely
low
income.
The
second
column
defines
how
much
of
the
total
arena
for
each
category
the
affordability
is.
So
actually
you
would
see.
Most
of
our
units
will
be
under
the
55
percent.
I
Is
that's
all
considered
low
income,
very
low
income,
low
income
and
moderate
income,
it's
considered,
affordable
and
then
above
mod
is
what
we
call
market
rate
to
clarify.
The
city's
requirement
for
these
goals
is
not
to
build
the
housing
itself,
but
to
plan
to
accommodate
housing
need
by
putting
in
place
land
use
policies,
taking
actions
such
as
zoning
and
executing
our
policy
and
program
work
plan
to
further
fair
housing
objectives
and
reduce
barriers
to
housing,
production
and
preservation.
I
Another
note
is
that
the
entire
Bay
Area
received
441
176
units
as
part
of
the
the
arena
goals
for
the
Bay
Area.
This
increased
about
a
third
from
the
last
cycle,
San
Jose,
received
about
14
of
the
bay
area's
goals
and
other
cities
in
the
Bay
Area
have
received
goals
that
are
three
or
four
times
what
they
had
in
the
last
cycle.
I
I
Chapter
one
describes
the
purpose
of
the
housing
element
and
how
the
document
is
organized.
The
bulk
of
the
chapter
describes
the
public,
Outreach
and
engagement
process.
We
conducted
multiple
phases
each
involving
a
range
of
methods
for
reaching
and
engaging
community
members.
This
aim
has
been
to
provide
a
variety
of
opportunities
to
participate
and
to
address
barriers
to
participation
for
underrepresented
populations
in
chapter
one.
We
analyze
these
barriers
and
describe
our
efforts
to
conduct
an
inclusive
process.
I
This
is
just
another
way
to
show
the
public
engagement
to
date.
Again
it
was
very
important.
It
was
a
very
important
part
of
this
process.
San
Jose
has
placed
a
huge
emphasis
on
doing
Outreach,
to
educate
the
community
and
to
get
feedback
through
a
variety
of
methods
both
from
the
general
public
and
then
subject
matter,
experts
as
well.
We
also
track
feedback
from
these
events.
In
addition
to
this
list,
we
received
18
formal
comment,
letters
with
160
requests
and
comments
on
the
first
draft
version
and
received
public
comments
through
our
website.
I
This
is
our
timeline
for
the
housing
element
process.
Our
housing
element
work
actually
began
in
2019
with
the
housing,
Department's
assessment
of
fair
housing
or
afh
process.
Initial
findings
from
the
afh
were
presented
to
City
Council
in
June
2021
and
have
been
updated
and
are
incorporated
into
the
housing
element
document.
I
We
launched
community
outreach
and
engagement
for
the
housing
element
about
a
year
ago
in
September,
and
we've
had
a
series
of
meetings
and
events
over
these
phases.
Right
now,
we're
in
phase
four
summer
fall
2022,
where
we
have
put
out
our
first
draft
housing
element
document.
We
held
the
mandated
30-day
public
comment
period
and
submitted
our
draft
to
the
state
as
well
for
their
90-day
review.
We
expect
to
receive
the
state's
formal
letter
on
December
15th.
I
We
also
expect
a
total
of
three
state
review
Cycles
with
the
last
one,
hopefully
being
more
short
and
informal
as
we
take
this
plan
to
the
formal
public
hearings
culminating
with
city
council
review
and
approval
in
2023.
J
Our
findings
here
include
that,
of
course,
housing
costs
have
been
rising
substantially
in
San
Jose
and
that
the
city
is
one
of
the
most
expensive
cities
in
the
country
to
live
for
a
city
of
our
size.
We
have
a
high
proportion
of
single-family
homes,
which
I
think
we
all
know,
including
one
of
the
highest
percentages
of
residential
land
dedicated
to
single-family
land
uses.
J
A
large
proportionate
of
our
housing
stock
was
built
between
1950
and
1980.
When
San
Jose
had
its
largest
growth
spurt,
the
majority
of
our
growth
happened
before
fair
housing
laws
were
passed
and
how
and
when
San
Jose
grew
continues
to
influence
our
current
conditions,
especially
in
terms
of
segregation,
and
how
this
impacts
opportunity
across
different
neighborhoods
next
slide.
J
J
At
the
many
public
engagement
events
listed
on
the
slide
that
Ruth
covered,
the
housing
department
started
work
to
create
its
formal
assessment
of
fair
housing
in
2019
under
Federal
guidance
and
rules,
because
we
received
dollars
from
the
U.S
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development,
but
we
eventually
linked
rssman
Affair
housing
work
to
the
housing
element,
as
we
realized
how
extensively
California,
Assembly
Bill
686
from
2018
had
changed
the
state's
required
housing
element,
contents
and
process,
while
the
first
two
needs
listed
here
are
obvious
to
everyone
who
lives
in
San.
Jose
needs
three.
J
Ab686,
the
law
that
governs
the
housing
element
says
that
not
only
do
we
have
to
do
this
in-depth
assessment
of
fair
housing,
it
says
we
also
need
to
weave
that
analysis
throughout
analysis
in
the
rest
of
the
documentation
so
to
satisfy
the
state's
requirements.
Staff
staff
performed
a
rigorous
analysis
of
both
the
city's
history
and
its
current
conditions.
J
In
addition,
the
housing
element
has
to
propose
policies
and
programs
that
address
the
impediments
to
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
that
we've
identified.
So
it
starts
with
this.
The
assessment
of
fair
housing
itself,
which
is
included
in
the
housing
element
document
as
appendix
B
chapter
2,
contains
some
of
the
highlights
of
the
fair
housing
analysis.
But
again,
the
core
of
the
analysis,
which
is
quite
lengthy,
is
an
appendix
B.
J
This
is
where
we
went
through
topic
by
topic,
as
required
by
the
state,
the
integration
and
segregation
by
race,
disparities
in
housing
and
opportunities
for
different
protected
classes,
demographics
by
different
types
of
Housing
and
Analysis
of
needs
for
specific
populations
and
fair
housing
enforcement
and
Outreach
I.
Think
we
brought
to
the
Housing
Commission
I'm,
sorry
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
Housing
Commission
findings
from
this
assessment.
J
J
This
slide
outlines
the
five
goals
for
the
housing
element
and
the
kinds
of
strategies
that
we
organized
under
each
one
in
chapter
three
goal:
one
is
that
we
need
an
abundant
and
an
affordable
housing
stock
to
house
all
of
our
people.
This
is
where
the
planning
Commissioners
may
be
interested
you'll,
be
finding
production
strategies
and
housing
preservation
strategies
goal
two
is
about
having
sufficient
housing
for
people
experiencing
homelessness.
J
Three
is
about
stability
and
opportunities
to
build
wealth,
so
it
has
different
kinds
of
issues
that
also
pertain
to
planning
building
and
code
enforcement,
such
as
the
value
of
proactive
code
enforcement
and
writer
protections
goal.
Four
is
about
having
healthy
and
thriving
neighborhoods
and
having
access
to
those
neighborhoods
by
people
of
all
different,
protected
classes.
J
The
law
tells
us
that
jurisdictions
need
to
redress
press
discrimination
and
overcome
these
patterns
of
segregation
to
make
our
communities
more
inclusive
places
where
all
types
of
people
live,
especially
those
in
protected
classes.
The
city
received
input
on
these
proposed
goals
in
previous
public
meetings
and
in
a
community-wide
survey
in
our
last
phase
of
Outreach
next
slide.
J
Chapter
three
is
where
the
many
good
ideas
for
what
we
are
calling
strategies
reside.
This
is
these
are
the
ways
that
we
will
help
to
realize.
The
production
that's
outlined
in
the
housing
element
and
to
further
fair
housing.
J
Appendix
C,
describes
the
city's
progress
in
the
last
cycle
and
how
well
we
met
our
goals
and
implemented
all
the
actions
in
that
plan.
Several
of
those
strategies
were
brought
forward
and
edited
for
this
six
cycle.
Draft
housing
element
appendix
D,
provides
an
overview
of
San
Jose's,
available
funding
for
affordable
housing
and
eligible
uses.
J
What
I
thought?
Okay,
that
presentation
was
in
there:
okay,
so
I'm
gonna
just
give
you
a
handful
of
highlights
from
the
different
goals
that
we
think
the
Planning
Commission
will
be
interested
in
so
again,
chapter
three
is
the
place
where
these
strata
we're
calling
them
strategies.
J
Some
people
call
them
programs
where
they
are
all
listed
and
they're
going
to
be
morphing
in
format
over
time.
But
there
are
some
interesting
things
of
note
in
here.
So
first
we'll
start
with
Goal
one.
J
The
highlights
that
are
listed
here,
the
first
reference
number
is
the
P
for
production
and
then
strategy,
seven
in
no
particular
order,
but
this
idea
the
first
one
is
that
we
would
establish
a
ministerial
approval
process
for
developments
that
meet
the
definition
of
infill
for
SQL
purposes,
so
that
we
could
streamline
production
well,
streamline
the
entitlements
process
faster
than
we
are
now
and
the
way
the
draft
is
written
the
question
and
then
we
would
like
feedback
on
from
the
Planning
Commission
frankly,
is
whether
we
should
do
this
for
all
housing
or
whether
we
should
really
select
this
feature
and
focus
on
housing
that
seeks
to
integrate
affordability.
J
Production
strategies,
three
four
and
five-
lay
out
in
total
what
the
strategies
are
for:
North
San,
Jose,
Michael
Brio
took
that
to
council
with
with
some
Partners
actually
yesterday,
and
so,
if
you'd
like
to
watch
the
council
item,
you
can
pull
up
the
video
on
that,
but
this
is
requiring
not
just
the
affordable
housing
overlays
and
the
mixed
income
overlays
to
be
created,
but
then
also
the
housing
department
to
subsidize
both
land
acquisition
and
then
loans
for
affordable
developments
that
come
to
them.
J
29
is
about
adding
a
fair
housing,
Equity
analysis
to
Urban
Village
plans.
There
is
a
displacement
analysis
that
we
have
started
to
do
for
New
Village
plans,
but
this
one,
where
we'll
be
looking
around
for
examples
of
how
to
do
that.
So
it
would
be
looking
at
not
just
displacement
risk,
but
also
what
are
the
attributes
of
the
people
who
are
in
that
area?
And
how
could
we
be
matching
better?
J
The
housing
stock
to
the
people
who
are
living
in
those
areas-
and
you
know
overcoming
challenges
that
they
in
particular
have
in
that
area.
J
Strategy,
R4
is
the
community
opportunity
to
purchase
program
proposal
the
way
it's
written?
It's
not
we're
not
clear
whether
it
would
be
you
know
have
already
come
to
council
by
the
time
this
takes
place
yet
or
not,
but
a
community
opportunity
to
purchase
the
idea
there
is
that,
when
properties
go
up
for
sale,
that
non-profits,
who
are
pre-qualified
by
the
city
would
have
the
right
to
make
a
first
offer
so
that
more
properties
end
up
in
the
hands
of
entities
that
are
not
profit
motivated.
J
This
is
a
strategy
to
stabilize
existing
residents
and
and
create
more
restricted,
affordable
housing
out
of
what
is
today
unrestricted,
affordable
housing
and
strategy.
R2
is
for
the
city
to
support
that
effort,
but
in
general,
put
more
regular
funding
out
through
preservation,
notices
of
funding
availability,
as
it
does
really
well
for
new
construction,
but
we've
heard
from
anti-displacement
Best
Practices
that
there's
no
way
to
stabilize
the
existing
residents
in
such
an
expensive
and
heated
Market
that
we
have
without
hitting
on
all
three
PS,
as
we
say,
production
preservation
and
protections
next
slide.
J
So
that
was
just
goal.
One
and
goal
two
is
about
homelessness
strategies.
I
won't
go
through
each
one
here,
but
there
are
a
couple
that
do
pertain
to
land
use
entitlements.
J
H3
would
have
us
look
to
make
sure
that
there
are
not
more
things
that
we
could
do
so
that
hotel
and
motel
conversions
for
use
for
interim
housing
for
the
homeless
or
Redevelopment
for
permanent,
homeless
housing,
permanent
Supportive
Housing
couldn't
be
made.
You
know
as
easy
as
possible
and
H4
is
about
making
sure
that
codes
don't
prohibit
shelter,
construction
in
in
a
variety
of
areas
throughout
the
city.
J
J
J
Here
again,
this
is
an
area
that
is
really
something
that
the
city
has
done,
some
things
in,
but
from
the
state's
mandates
like
we
could
be
doing
things
better,
and
so
some
of
the
highlighted
strategies
you
may
want
to
look
at
S3
would
be
to,
as
I
said,
increase
the
amount
of
proactive
code
enforcement,
because
residents
do
get
into
difficult
situations,
with
landlords
and
kind
of
risk,
being
evicted
or
informally
evicted,
as
people
acknowledge
when
they
call,
because
there
are
deficits
in
their
units
and
that
there
are
code
enforcement
problems.
J
S8
is
talking
about.
How
can
we
do
homebuyer
programs
in
a
way
that
both
accommodates
the
incredibly
high
cost
of
housing
that
we
have
and
doesn't
make
the
city
broke,
but
also
tries
to
serve
groups
that
have
really
been
completely
underserved
by
our
previous
home
buyer
programs?
J
So
we
would
be
coming
at
this
from
a
protected
class,
real,
fair
housing,
Equity
lens
and
also
looking
at
alternatives
to
home
ownership
and
home
buyers
such
as
can
people
get
savings
along
with
long-term
leases
that
are
stable
to
kind
of
approximate
what
they
could
get
if
they
were
home
buyers,
but
you
know
had
resale
Provisions
that
restricted
the
prices
they
could
sell
at.
So
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
we
could
do
in
this
area,
but
it
would
be
difficult
frankly.
J
17
is
an
idea
that
some
cities
have
taken
on,
which
is
just
like
an
employment
law.
If
somebody
would
be
banned
from
tenancy
because
of
a
of
a
criminal
record,
an
ex-offender
status,
it
really
only
would
need
to
be
because
of
something
germane
to
being
a
resident
in
that
property.
It
shouldn't
be
just
because
they
went
to
prison,
it
would
have
to
be
relevant
to
their
tenancy
so
and
then.
Finally,
there
are
a
lot
of
folks
interested
in
studying.
What
would
it
look
like
for
residents?
J
Excuse
me
experiencing
eviction
courts
to
be
represented
that
are
just
like
residents
are
in
Criminal
Court,
because
the
it's
a
very
lopsided
equation
right
now,
most
people
90,
roughly
in
our
area,
are
unrepresented
when
they
go
to
eviction
court
and
it
doesn't
go
in
their
favor,
usually
because
of
that
next
slide.
J
Go
for
is
is
about
neighborhoods
and
what
the
state
has
told
us
is
that
not
only
do
we
need
to
Foster
fair
housing
choices,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
people
have
choices
in
neighborhoods.
They
might
not
have
had
choices
in
before
who
are
in
in
protected
classes
and
also
we
have
to
think
through
to
make
sure
that
there
are
no
neighborhoods
where
the
living
experience
is
really
bad,
where
people
in
protected
classes
now
live.
J
So
that's
about
how
can
we
focus
City
Investments
and
how
can
we
think
through
where
affordable
housing
will
be
located?
So
and
then
you
know
some
other
accompanying
strategies
some
highlights
here,
but
the
big
one
is
N1,
which
is
excuse
me,
which
is
about
how
do
we
serve
neighborhoods?
J
And
for
those
of
you
who
are
familiar
with
our
strong
neighborhoods
initiative
work,
you
know
having
a
neighborhoods
based
focus
and
working
with
residents
to
kind
of
create
local
prioritized
investment
plans
really
has
a
lot
of
Merit,
and
so
this
the
strategy
would
kind
of
bring
us
back
to
that
a
bit,
but
also
have
the
staff
organized
in
a
way
that
would
be
conducive
to
serving
residents
better
and
in
different
neighborhoods
and
not
have
us
in
silos
as
we
try
to
together.
J
You
know
hear
about
what
the
neighborhood
needs
across
our
many
service
lines
and
two
women
I
actually
mentioned
before
about
anti-displacement
analysis
with
planning.
Four
is
about
having
partners
out
there.
That
can
help
us
do
this
work
and
five
is
really
at
the
heart
of
what
I
was
saying,
which
is
affordable,
housing
and
higher
and
protected
class
housing
so,
for
instance,
senior
housing
housing
for
the
disabled.
J
J
Thanks
goal
five:
this
is
a
lot
to
get
through,
so
we're
almost
there
you're
on
goal
five,
and
this
is
about
really
thinking
through
special
populations
and
then
more
structural
systems,
issues
Community
engagement
and
how
we
measure
our
progress.
J
J
Four
is
something
that
would
take
a
data
informed
approach
to
like
who
are
our
residents
and
how
do
we
need
to
grow
our
housing
stock
and
protect
the
affordable
housing?
We've
got
by
creating
a
report
that
kind
of
sums
this
all
up
and
figures
out
the
demographics
and
looks
forward
and
makes
sure
we're
not,
for
instance,
losing
a
bunch
of
really
deeply
affordable
housing
all
in
one
area,
all
within
a
few
years
like.
If
that
were
the
case,
we
would
really
have
to
like
devote
resources
to
make
sure
that
did
not
happen.
J
J
There
is
a
general
one
in
here,
which
is
just
about
City
bodies,
including
commissions,
and
how
can
we,
you
know,
just
promote
diversity,
diversity
of
protected
class
members
again.
This
is
about
making
sure
that
the
voices
of
people
who
have
been
underrepresented
and
are
least
likely
to
be
represented,
are
in
the
OR
at
the
table
or
in
the
power
making
conversations.
J
I
Slide
thanks
Kristen
yeah,
so
chapter
four,
we
discuss
constraints
on
housing
production,
both
the
supply
on
for
both
market
rate
and
affordable
housing.
The
state
requires
that
we
look
at
non-governmental
and
governmental
constraints
in
terms
of
these
barriers,
and
some
of
the
non-governmental
constraints
include
financing
costs,
land
costs,
construction
costs.
I
I
In
terms
of
the
governmental
constraints
that
we
had
to
analyze,
they
were
land
use,
restrictions
like
our
zoning,
affordable
housing
requirements,
impact
fees
and
taxes,
and,
in
our
analysis,
what
we
found
was
that
something,
for
example,
like
the
building
permit
process
for
affordable
projects,
was
becoming
a
hurdle
for
getting
these
projects
through
the
process,
as
well
as
our
one
of
our
major
strategies
in
the
general
plan,
the
Urban
Village
strategy.
I
Thank
you.
So
we're
required
to
create
responses
to
these
constraints
that
we
identified
and,
in
addition,
we
also
held
focus
groups
with
affordable
and
market
rate
housing
developers
to
get
more
detailed
feedback
for
this
process.
In
response
to
this
analysis
and
feedback,
we
developed
these
strategies,
which
are
in
our
housing
element
document.
The
first
one
Kristen
spoke
about,
which
is
a
developing,
a
ministerial
ordinance
by
right
for
specific
projects
that
meet
certain
requirements.
This
would
help
with
Time
Savings
and
provide
certainty
to
the
Developers.
I
The
next
one
is
looking
at
completing
additional
city-led
SQL
analysis
for
areas
such
as
Urban
villages
with
adopted
plans
to
help
speed
up
the
environmental
review
of
housing
projects.
This
approach
is
similar
to
what
has
been
done
in
downtown
the
downtown
area
and
with
an
area-wide
analysis.
Individual
projects
can
complete
their
SQL
review
more
quickly.
I
We
also
have
a
strategy
to
add
a
new
position
to
the
department
actually
to
the
city,
I'm,
not
sure
which
department
yet,
but
that
person
would
facilitate
affordable
housing,
especially
through
the
process
of
obtaining
building
permits
to
start
construction.
This
person
would
serve
as
a
single
point
of
contact
that
will
help
navigate
The,
Building,
Division,
Public,
Works
and
fire,
and
it
will
complement
another
planner
that
we
have
right
now
in
the
in
the
planning
division
that
helps
with
entitlements
of
affordable
housing
and
then.
I
Lastly,
with
respect
to
the
amending
the
Urban
Village
planning
process,
we
are
proposing
changes
to
streamline
that
process
and
essentially
green
light.
More
areas
of
the
city
for
residential
development.
I
This
is
a
summary
of
our
residential
capacity
to
accommodate
that
62
200
unit
requirement
under
Arena
state
law
allows
us
to
use
housing
projects
that
are
already
in
the
pipeline.
I
We
can
use
anticipated
Adu
development,
alternative
units
which
are
hotel,
motel,
conversions,
to
affordable
housing
and
anticipated,
and
then
anticipated
development,
and
that's
our
opportunity
sites,
which
is
the
largest
category,
and
it's
the
focus
of
this
section
to
hedge
against
the
risk
of
projects
not
being
developed
like
we
expect
we
did
include
a
buffer
which
is
roughly
21
overall
of
site,
so
we
are
showing
that
we
have
capacity
for
in
total,
75
484
units
throughout
our
city.
I
This
is
just
a
visual
representation
of
our
site's
inventory.
We
have
a
link
on
our
website
that,
where
you
can
search
the
dots,
the
different
colors
of
the
dots
are,
for
you
know:
lower
income,
moderate
income
above
mod,
and
then
we
have
a
few
that
we
are
identifying
as
mixed
income
and
those
are
in
North,
San,
Jose.
I
So
the
site
inventory
it
must
identify
sites
to
accommodate
Housing
Development
throughout
the
city
in
a
manner
that
affirmatively
furthers
fair
housing
opportunities.
Hcd
advised
us
that
this
means
that
sites
identified
to
accommodate
the
lower
income
portion
of
the
Arena
should
not
be
concentrated
in
lower
resource
areas
as
defined
by
the
state's
opportunity
maps.
I
And
what
you'll
see
here
is
that
approximately
86
percent
of
our
lower
income
units
are
in
moderate,
high
or
highest
resource
areas
in
the
city
and
4.8
percent
of
those
of
lower
income
units
are
in
racially
or
ethnically
concentrated
areas
of
poverty,
and
this
is
just
again
a
visualization
visual
representation
of
the
previous
comment
in
terms
of
the
distribution
of
sites
by
tcac
opportunity
areas,
and
it's
found
in
our
our
draft
document.
I
So,
with
the
housing
element
update,
we
also
have
to
include
a
rezoning
program
to
ensure
that
all
Sites
need
the
statutory
requirements
and
are
suitable
for
housing.
We
have
some
sites
that
were
where
the
zoning
doesn't
facilitate
residential
densities
permitted
under
the
general
plan.
So
our
team
is
working
currently
to
remedy
that.
I
Yesterday,
Council
gave
us
erection
to
continue
with
phase
two
of
the
north
San
Jose
work,
which
includes
developing
overlays
and
other
strategies
to
facilitate
housing.
The
rezoning
program
will
also
capture
this
effort
and
that
work,
the
North
San
Jose
work
will
be
concurrent
with
the
housing
element
update
and
then.
Lastly,
another
sort
of
another
part
of
our
rezoning
program
is
that
for
sites
that
we're
using
in
this
six
cycle
inventory
for
lower
income
households
and
if
they
were
reused
from
previous
housing
elements,
we
have
to
make
those
sites
buy
right.
I
If
someone
comes
in
with
a
project-
that's
at
least
20
percent
affordable
to
lower
income
households,
so
that
work
will
be
done.
We
would
have
one
year,
so
we
would
have
until
January
of
2024
to
complete
that
work.
I
Okay,
next
steps,
so
we
are
here:
November
16th
our
planning
study,
commission.
We
will
continue
study
sessions
with
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
commission.
There's
an
eir
scoping
meeting
on
December
1st.
We
expect
hcd
to
give
us
a
review
letter
on
December
15th
and
then
that
will
kick
off
another
cycle
of
us
reviewing
it
updating
our
housing
element
as
appropriate
and
with
a
target
of
city
council
adoption
in
late
spring,
we
will
come
back
to
Planning
Commission.
I
B
Great
may
I
ask
you
back,
go
back
to
goal
one
slide
and
then
does
commit.
Do
Commissioners
have
questions
on
that
slide.
I
think
there's
just
so
much
information
you've
shared
with
us
that
you
know
having
some
level
of
focus
would
be
good
for
our
questions
or
comments.
So,
commissioner,
Cantrell.
K
Yeah
just
I'm
just
curious,
you
know
we
use
the
word
Equity
a
lot
and
there's
a
it's
in
here,
a
lot.
How
are
we
defining
Equity?
What
does
it
mean?
Is
it
proportionality
in
representation
is
in
them
on
a
scale
to
bring
back
balance?
How
do
you
define
that.
J
Hi,
commissioner
Cantrell
thanks
for
the
question
that
is
that
question
everyone
is
grappling
with
on
our
journey
to
do
this
work.
Better
Equity
is
not
equal
treatment.
Equity
is
making
sure
that
people
have
sound
opportunities
and
if
that
means
promoting
some
folks
in
their
ability
to
access
opportunities,
it's
driving
towards
Equitable
outcomes,
not
not
just
inputs
but
outcomes.
I
know
this
is
a
long
conversation
but
yeah.
K
I
I
can
look
through
that
right
now,
but
to
commissioner
Cantrell's
Point
as
well
in
the
draft
document
and
I
think
the
feedback
we're
going
to
get
from
hcd
is
that
with
all
these
goals
and
strategies
we
have
to
have
metrics
and
Milestones
and
timelines.
So
hopefully
we
we
will
get
to
that.
When
you
see
the
next
draft
great.
B
L
No
problem,
thank
you
chair,
yes,
I
have
a
couple
questions
and
one
is
actually
on
this
slide.
I'm
interested
in
a
little
more
detail
on
the
preservation
strategy
and
particularly
that
R2
preservation.
Nofas
I,
didn't
quite
understand
that
acronym,
but
also
just
in
general.
What
what
are
our
strategies
as
far
as
preservation.
J
Sure
no
nofa
stands
for
notice
of
funding
availability.
So
it's
like
us
advertising
that
there's
a
competition,
that's
open
and
it's
a
certain
amount
of
money
to
give
away
or
to
award
by
the
city
council
and
there's
a
prescribed
Awards
framework
that
one
would
apply
under
for
for
affordable
housing,
development
proposals
and
so
the
preservation.
J
So
again,
we
typically
have
done
this
about
once
a
year
for
new
construction
and
how
they're
scored
really
reflects
the
priorities
and
policy
thoughts
of
the
department
and
the
city
as
to
what
it
values
so,
for
instance,
extremely
low
income.
Housing
units
have
been
prioritized
because
we
have
so
many
extremely
low
income
residents
who
are
struggling,
and
so
so
that
would
be
weighted
highly
in
the
nofa.
J
In
the
framework
we
have
not
been
putting
out
funds
regularly
for
for
developers
to
look
at
market
rate
buildings
which
may
or
may
not
be
regulated
by
apartment,
rent,
ordinance
and
purchase
those
buildings
and
ask
for
City
funds
and
then
put
on
restrictions,
so
it
becomes
restricted,
affordable
housing
instead,
so,
rather
than
building
new,
it
would
be
acquiring
existing
with
the
goal
of
seeking
to
stabilize
the
residents
that
are
there
rather
than
having
you
know,
other
other
investors
come
in
purchase
and
then
increase
rents
radically.
J
So
that's
what
the
preservation
of
us
would
be.
It
would
be
about
preserving
lower
cost
housing
in
our
markets
by
putting
on
restrictions
and
operating
them
with
different
rules.
L
Thank
you,
my
second
question
it
has
to
do
with
eviction
and
I
know.
I
know
where
I
know
in
housing
we're
operating
an
eviction
Center
currently
and
I'm,
actually
interested
a
little
more
information
on
how
that
is
working
now,
and
also
whether
this
the
the
housing
element
has
any
plans
to
enhance
that
and
in
particular
I'm
interested
in.
So,
if
folks
come
in
and
they
say
you
know,
I
may
be
evicted
and
you
folks
try
to
help
them,
but
it
ends
up
during
the
process
that
they
are.
You
know
indeed,
evicted.
L
J
Sure,
and
actually
a
really
good
summary
of
what
the
city's
been
doing
for
residents
who
are
on
the
day.
You
know
on
the
edge
of
eviction
and
going
through
eviction
process
is
in
our
anti-displacement,
regular
status
updates
to
committee
and
yeah.
It's
been
mostly
to
committee,
so
actually
I
could
ask
staff
to
send
out
a
most
recent
one
to
the
commission.
After
this,
it
has
many.
J
It
has
like
10
pages
of
of
updates
on
different
aspects
of
of
strategies
that
we're
running
so
the
eviction
prevention
centers
in
there,
but
also
we've-
we've
set
up
a
strategy
with
the
with
the
courts
in
Santa
Clara
County
to
do
an
eviction
diversion
program
that
we
saw
at
grant
funding
for.
J
Similarly,
we
were
in
the
housing
element.
If
you
search
the
word
eviction
in
chapter
three
you'll
come
up
with
quite
a
few
hits.
I
came
up
with
13.,
but
some
of
the
strategies
you
know,
there's
an
idea
about
a
housing
collaborative
Court,
where,
if
we
could
get
that
set
up
with
a
county,
there
would
be
staff
there
from
programs
where
folks
could
get
signed
up
for
benefits
right
there,
and
then
they
would
have
additional
resources
potentially
to
negotiate.
J
Maybe
not
full
payments
but
lowered
payments
with
their
with
their
property
owners
right
there
so
and
then
write
to
council's
another
eviction
strategy,
but
really
we're
working
hard
on
eviction,
diversions
and
and
helping
people
through
the
eviction
prevention
centers
just
what
to
do
if
they
get
a
notice.
J
Also
we'd,
like
State
legislation
to
pass
that
would
give
the
city
copies
of
things
from
the
courts.
It's
very
hard
to
find
that
information
about
evictions.
J
J
So
so
I
will
send
that
link
to
you
and
all
the
Commissioners.
It
is
a
really
good
summary
actually.
C
L
That
you
know
as
much
as
we
try
to
work
as
hard
as
we
can
to
move
homeless
folks
into
housing,
sometimes
I
think
even
higher
priority
should
be
preventing
people
from
becoming
homeless
in
the
first
place.
So
I'm
I'm
really
glad
we're
doing
that.
Yes,.
J
And
I
should
also
say
that
Homeless
Prevention
Services
is
a
part
of
our
measure:
e
transfer
tax
budget.
We
do
fund
rental,
voucher
programs
for
people,
we
funded
a
lot
of
it
during
covid
and
while
it's
getting
more
regularized,
it's
definitely
a
budget
item.
In
our
measure
e
spending
budget
every
year.
L
Terrific
and
I
I,
just
like
to
say
you
know
close.
My
comments
is
just
commend
the
staff
on
this
report.
It's
it's
really
comprehensive,
very
well
done.
I
know
it's
taken
a
huge
amount
of
work.
The
amount
of
community
outreach
is
is
really
outstanding
and
I
just
like
to
say
that
I'm,
proud
to
be
part
of
a
city
and
a
city
government
that
really
prioritizes
housing
that
prioritizes
more
housing
opportunities
for
everyone
in
the
city.
L
I'm
really
very
proud
of
that,
and
you
know
no
surprise
to
anyone,
but
not
every
city
in
the
in
the
state
is
like.
We
are
I'm
just
really
proud
to
be
part
of
our
city
and
our
city
government,
and
you
know
thank
you
to
the
staff
for
that.
G
Thank
you,
chair,
yeah
I,
concur
with
commissioner
Young's
comments
there,
and
also
it's
always
great
to
have
housing
staff
in
our
meetings.
I.
So
some
points
in
the
presentation
you
mentioned
wanting
feedback
from
the
Planning
Commission
on
a
couple
of
things
did
given
this
a
study
session.
We
can't
like
take
an
action.
Is
this
something
you'd
like
or
were
you
meaning
that,
in
terms
like
when
this
comes
back
to
us
later
or
no.
J
G
Gotcha
good
to
know
okay
and
then
this
question
is
not
specific
to
these
goals,
so
we
get
to
it
later
if
that
makes
more
sense,
but
there's
been
some
media
coverage
about
how
quite
a
number
of
jurisdictions
in
the
Bay
Area,
including
the
city
of
San
Jose,
had
a
different
understanding
than
hcd
did
about
the
deadline,
how
the
deadlines
work
for
housing
elements
and
in
terms
of
how
that
how
and
when
cities
might
be
subjects.
G
The
builders
remedy
I'm
just
curious
to
get
some
clarity
on
like
what
happened
with
that
and
again,
not
like
not
I'm.
Looking
for
blame
or
anything
I
know
a
lot
of
cities.
Have
this
the
same
situation
so
I'm
just
curious.
What
happened.
I
On
oh
yeah
Michael's,
here
too
Michael,
if
you
want
to
chime
in
but
I,
don't.
M
G
D
N
D
D
Yeah,
so
this
this
housing
element
is
very
complicated.
There's
a
lot
involved
and
it's
all
new.
It's
way
heavier
left
in
the
past,
so
I
think
I.
Think
a
lot
of
cities
thought
they
had
more
time
to
figure
this
all
out
and
address
particularly.
N
D
How
they're
going
to
address
formerly
further
fair
housing
say
that
really
fast
five
times
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
other
requirements
and
so
cities
I
think
have
been
really
I
mean
I.
Think
only
10
percent
of
the
communities
in
Southern
California
have
actually
got
their
housing
element
certified
on
time.
D
Very
few
in
the
Bay
Area
are
on
their
path
to
do
that
as
well,
and
so
I
think
when
City
started
to
realize,
like
oh,
my
goodness,
I
think
they're,
they
were
looking
at
the
timing
and
there
was
kind
of
a
there
was
confusion.
We
were
confused
too
about
this
180
day
grace
period,
and
initially
we
thought
that
we,
it
was
due
January
31st,
but
we
had
a
grace
period
of
180
days.
Events
submitted
to
the
state
it
turns
out.
We
talk
to
hcd,
we
found
out.
That's
not
correct.
D
Other
communities
didn't
have
that
conversation
like
San
Francisco
and
they
sort
of
got
the
ride
pulled
out
from
a
moment
when
they
found
out
when
it
was
too
late.
Essentially,
oh
sorry
yeah.
So
does
that
answer
your
question.
G
Yeah
and
so
I
mean
I
I
understand
that
it's
not
really
possible
for
San
Jose
to
meet
that
deadline.
At
this
point
and
I,
you
know,
saw
the
timeline
that
was
laid
out
in
one
of
the
slides,
I
guess
yeah
I'm
just
wondering
like
what,
if
anything
can
be
done,
because
the
Builder's
remedy
is
very
much
intended
to
be.
G
Measure
for
cities
that,
don't
repeat
their
obligations
in
San,
Jose
I,
think
makes
a
good
faith
effort
to
meet
its
obligations
under
state
law.
Regarding.
D
Housing,
let
me
just
add
one
more
thing
so
I,
just
in
all
fairness
to
us,
the
also
the
the
governor
signed
a
bill
that
added
a
couple
more
months
to
the
process.
Okay,
it
was
done
mid-stream.
We
were
already
on,
you
know,
doing
our
schedule
and
all
of
a
sudden,
this
Bill
gets
signs.
We
just
added
too
much
of
the
process.
That's
not
the
only
reason
we
still
have
some
challenges,
but
we'd
be
two
months
earlier
than
we
are
now
if
it
weren't
for
this
bill,
it
was
signed
by
the
governor
and
mighty.
D
D
This
doesn't
apply
to
you
now
it'll
be
again
in
eight
years,
so
we
kind
of
got
screwed
in
that
regard,
and
so
in
terms
of
what
we
can
do,
I,
don't
you
know,
I
think
that
what
we
can
do
the
best
is
try
to
get
this
thing
as
quickly
as
possible.
You
through
the
process
and
get
it
to
the
state
for
certification.
D
The
other
thing
we're
looking
at
and
this
is
more
Christian
shop,
but
I'll
start
it
at
least.
Is
that
we're
looking
the
other
significant
impact?
Is
that
we'd
be
ineligible
for
housing,
affordable
housing
grants
as
well
as
Transportation
dollars,
because
you
need
to
have
a
certified
housing
loan
to
be
eligible
for
some
of
those
grants
and
I.
D
Think
one
of
the
questions
we
have
is
we're
still
accessing
assessing
what
grants
might
we
miss,
because
we
don't
have
a
certified
element
for
five
months
or
six
months
or
five
months,
but
also
if
we,
if
there
are
opportunities
we're
going
to
miss?
How
do
you
define
when
does
when
is
the
requirement
that
you
have
it
certified?
Is
it
a
time
of
application,
or
is
it
the
time
of
Grant
award,
so
we
may
be
advocating
with
other
cities,
okay
to
change
the
rules
a
little
bit
if
we
identified
as
needed,
yeah.
J
J
We
raised
this
issue
really
early
this
year
with
the
governor's
office
and
with
leadership
at
hcd
and
also
regionally,
we've
been
raising
it
with
everyone
who
will
listen
and
actually
I
think
the
state
listened
because
they
recently
issued
revised
regulations
for
a
couple
programs
that
gives
more
flexibility.
J
That
basically
says
if
we
are
in
the
process
of
going
back
and
forth
with
hcd,
we
have
a
few
more
months
of
Eligibility.
Even
if
the
program
deadlines
are
in
there
somewhere,
so
I
they
did
listen
and
they
took
some
actions
where
they
could.
So
while
they
couldn't
alter
the
deadline
for
submission
of
the
housing
element,
because
that
was
in
statute
and
we
we
we're
successful
on
trying
to
get
some
rules
for
funding
programs
moved
a
little
bit.
Okay,.
G
O
D
D
Would
be
January
I'm,
sorry,
not
January
31st.
It
would
be
what.
D
1St,
whenever
until
that
date,
you
actually
get
it
I,
don't
know
if
it's
if
it's
certified
or
when
you
submit
it
to
the
state
I'm,
not
actually
sure
on
that,
because
those
are
a
few
different
things
accounts.
B
J
Yeah
exactly
no
one's
used
it,
and
so,
if
somebody
wants
to
get
into
a
court
case
they
may,
but
we
we
have
good
lawyers
here.
So
you
know
whatever
it's
not
that
we're
inside
development
and
I.
There
are
lots
of
webinars
on
this.
If
people
want
to
watch,
I
can
send
you
some
links.
The.
D
B
B
Was
started
on,
it
was
the
first
one
that
we
had
put
up
there,
where
you
wanted
feedback
goals.
Maybe
okay.
O
B
B
M
B
I
Housing
an
example
of
of
what
would
qualify
for
info
housing.
Oh.
D
Right
so
right
so
the
way
the
state
is
now
the
state
is
if
you're,
50,
affordable
or
more
under
sp-35,
which
effectively
means
100
affordable.
D
You
go
through
a
ministerial
process
right
where
there's
no
public
hearing
and
there's
no
Community
meetings
there
might
be,
but
you
don't
have
to
do
them
no
requirement
and
then
there's
a
was
at
ab2164.
Has
that
as
well
for.
D
Yeah
social
needs
housing,
and
so,
but
they
only
really
apply,
they
only
apply
a
factually
affordable
housing
projects.
So
I
think
one
of
the
things
we're
talking
about
is
there?
Could
the
city
you
know,
could
we
do
create
such
a
program
for
market
rate
housing.
D
The
question
right
Chris,
please
pop
that
up
the
question.
We're
sort
of
grappling
with
is
one
approach.
Is
you
say
well
if
you,
if
20
of
the
units
are
affordable
or
you
meet
iho
the
percentage
right,
then
you
get
them
in
the
stereo
process.
But
if
you're,
just
100
market
rate,
you
wouldn't
and
I,
think
the
question
is:
do
we
go
that
route
or
do
we
say?
Oh
if
it's
only
you
could
be
100
market
rate
and.
B
Yeah
I
think
community
members
are
once
they
understand
and
they
are
aware
of
some
of
the
new
state
legislation
and
how
there
is
no
local
control
and
there's
no
local
process.
I,
don't
think
that's
very
popular,
so
I
just
want
to
share
that
with
that
as
you're.
You
know
going
throughout
this
process
on
on
the
integrating,
affordable
housing
in
North,
San,
Jose
I
think
it
also
depends.
You
know
there
was
a
tiered
Housing
Development
with
jobs
and
the
jobs
really
never
came
to
what
was
expected
in
our
San
Jose.
B
So
I
think
we
always
have
to
balance
that
right,
because
we
talk
about
not
having
enough
jobs
in
San
Jose,
and
thus
we
are
unable
to
afford
to
pay
for
City
Services.
So
we
have
to
keep
that
in
mind.
So
it's
would
take
you
take
that
feedback
and
then
on
Copa.
You
know,
I
watched
a
couple
of
more
than
one
mayoral
debate
and
I
know.
B
Supervisor,
Chavez
and
both
mayor
Mayhem
were
opposed
to
Copa
and
they
laid
out
several
reasons
and
I
would
say
I'm
in
that
camp
as
well,
so
so
I
just
wanted
to
provide
feedback
at
least
on
a
portion
of
the
items.
You're
seeking
feedback
on
I
know,
there's
other
slides
that
you
want
that
feedback
on,
but
I
also
don't
want
to
take
all
the
time,
because
I
see,
commissioner
arnellis
wise
hand
is
up.
I
Thank
you
in
regards
to
p7
I
I
would
just
like
to
chime
in
on
that,
since
we're
talking
about
that
in
regards
I,
do
believe
that
we
should
do
permit
streamlining
for
affordable
housing.
It
would
have
to
include
some
affordable
housing
in
there,
the
more
affordable
housing,
the
more
you
know
easier.
It
should
be
so
any
also.
You
know
I
think
about
the
number
of
units,
because
you
know
if
it's
a
large
project
and
the
impact
it's
going
to
have
on
the
community.
I
Obviously
the
community
wants
to
know,
but
we
should,
if
someone
is
proposing
something,
that's
going
to
benefit
the
overall
Community
by
taking
people
off
the
street
and
creating
housing,
we
should
streamline
it
so
that
that's
what
I
think
about
p7
I,
don't
know
what
Copa?
What
can
you
just
review
that
with
the
acronym
was
and
what
that
was
again?
That's.
J
The
community
opportunity
to
purchase-
and
it
would
be
about
when
I,
when
an
owner
chooses
to
put
a
building
subject
to
the
program
up
first
fail
that
there
would
be
a
pool
of
pre-qualified
non-profits
that
were
experienced
in
affordable
housing.
That
would
have
the
right
to
make
an
offer
first
on
the
property
and
so
and
they
would
be
given
a
few
days
to
do
that
before
the
market
goes
on
the
open
market
before
the
house,
the
building
and
then.
J
Finally,
if
somebody
before
somebody
accepts
an
offer
from
the
open
market,
they'd
have
a
final
chance
to
counter
offer
if
they'd
made
an
offer
to
begin
with.
So
it's
just
about
getting
opportunity
to
see
more
properties
up
for
sale,
because
there's
no
one
listing
service
for
multi-family
properties
and
because
they're
providing
a
public
good
by
trying
to
acquire
buildings
and
stabilize
residents
and
keep
that
permanently
affordable.
I
Yeah
I
I
think
that
if
there
is,
you
know,
I
know
that
there's
so
many
wonderful
organizations,
some
of
that
are
faith-based,
some
that
are
not
locally,
that
have
done
a
really
good
job
with
affordable
housing
and
housing.
Some
of
the
the
people
here
that
need
it,
the
most
like
I,
think
it
was
the
emergency
housing,
Consortium
or
whatnot,
and
because
of
the
fact
that
they
done
such
a
good
job.
I
Why
shouldn't
they
have
first,
first,
the
first
opportunity
I
mean
they
might
not
even
have
the
money,
but
at
least
they
have
the
opportunity
to
go
if,
if
indeed
they've
been
working-
and
they
know
our
community
I
I-
think
that
might
be
fair.
J
I
Yeah
I
did
want
to
just
ask
a
couple.
Other
things
you
mentioned
protected
classes
and,
besides
focus
groups,
did
you
all
do
any
surveys
for
these
protected
classes.
J
No,
we
did.
We
used
surveys
to
do
General,
broad
Outreach
for
the
community,
and
then
we
look
to
see
where
the
surveys
were
received
from
and
we
did
those
in
three
languages.
The
the
protected
class
Outreach
was
really
about
talking
to
members
of
those
groups
directly,
so
we
could
hear
kind
of
in
an
intimate
setting
what
they
go
through
and
I.
Don't
have
the
data
in
front
of
me
of
how
many
focus
groups,
but
it
was
something
like
40
different
meetings.
J
Okay,
oh
thank
you.
I
was
21
focus
groups
and
then
members
of
the
classes
also
came,
and
you
know,
and
their
representatives
speaking
also
for
them-
came
to
strategy
working
group
meetings,
but
also
some
stakeholder
meetings.
The
49
some
of
those
were
from,
like
a
disability
organizations,
for
instance,
met
with
us
a
few
times:
yeah,
okay,.
I
That's
good,
you
know,
while
I
was
a
graduate
student
at
San,
Jose
State
in
the
urban
Regional
City
Planning,
we
did
a
lot
of
surveys
on
behalf
of
like
the
Redevelopment
agency
way
back
in
the
day,
so
it
would
be
good
to
maybe
utilize
some
of
the
existing
resources
at
the
University
to
help
you
know
do
that
work.
If
you
don't
have
the
Manpower
in
office
to
do
that
use
some
of
the
students.
I
would
suggest
some
some
collaborations
in
there.
I
I
You
know
commercial
high
rises
that
have
been
maybe
vacated
for
such
a
long
time,
like
maybe
the
the
top
three
floors
to
be
allowed
to
be
senior
housing
or
affordable
housing.
I
Obviously,
the
concern
of
segregation
was,
you
know,
is
something
that
you
know:
I
I
come
in,
the
staff
are
really
bringing
it
to
light
and
really
doing
what
you
can
to
make
sure
that
that's
not
the
case
and
I
know
that
sometimes
affordable
housing
sometimes
is
I,
don't
want
it
to
be
concentrated
in
one
area,
and
you
know
I
know
I'm
in
I
in
District,
Seven
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk
about.
I
You
know
the
fairgrounds
and
that's
in
District
Seven
two,
you
know
so
I
went
one
time
to
a
different
city.
I
think
it
was
Baltimore.
Maryland
and
I
went
to
the
to
see
this
area
and
it
was
it
turned
into
such
a
ghetto
and
I
had
a
good
friend
of
mine.
Who
was
a
planner
who
told
me
to
go
there?
It
was
some
market
and
I
was
shocked.
That
I
mean
we
got
off
the
subway
and
it
was
like
the
hair
on
the
back
of
your
head.
I
Stood
up
like
you
needed
to
be
careful
and
I
asked
one
of
the
police
officers.
What
had
happened
to
this
area?
That
was
like
a
historic
area
that
turned
into
a
ghetto.
They
had
all
these
halfway
houses
and
this
High
concentration
of
like
low-income
housing
in
all
one
area.
So
then
it
became
a
ghetto,
so
I
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
contribute
to
creating
ghettos
by
diversing.
This
whole
affordable,
housing
throughout
the
city
I
mean
nobody
wants
it
in
their
backyard.
I
Nobody
does,
but
this
is
something
that
we
all
have
to
deal
with,
and
so
it
has
to
make
sure
that
it's
it's
not
just
in
one
area,
and
you
know
that
brings
me
to
some
code
enforcement
stuff.
I
know.
I
Code
enforcement
is
like
complaint
driven,
but
there's
certain
areas
where
people
do
not
complain
and
will
not
because
they
were
maybe
it's
a
cultural
thing
and
so
maybe
a
little
bit
more
Outreach
into
these
areas
when
it
comes
down
to
housing
to
make
sure
that
people
are
not
taking
advantage
of
so
that
that's
just
some
things
and
then
in
regards
to
fees,
you
know
for
adus,
I,
don't
know,
I
know
that,
then
you
know.
I
And
then
you
have
this
like
I,
don't
know
twenty
thousand
dollar
permit
fee
or
more
and
then
their
school
impact
fees
and
whatnot
so
I
mean,
if
there's
a
way
that
we
could
have
some
amnesty
program
or
a
flat
fee,
a
one-time
only
something
that
really
encourages
residents
to
take
like
maybe
an
existing,
illegal,
Adu
or
garage
confirm
something,
a
garage
that
was
converted
into
an
Adu
to
legalize
that
and
get
a
permit
without
getting
all
these
fees.
I
You
know,
because
maybe
there
is
already
a
lot
of
units
that
you
don't
even
know
about
you're,
not
even
counting
and
are
not
able
to
say,
oh
well,
we
do
meet
X
needs
this
exists,
but
because
of
financing
or
money
they're
not
able
to
come
in
through
the
door,
so
maybe
like
a
really
small
flat
fee,
something
that
maybe
it's
like
amnesty.
You
know
if
you
come
in
this
month.
You
know
it's
free
I
mean
I,
don't
know
how
many
people
was
going
to
come
in
the
door.
I
You
know
I'm
just
I'm,
just
thinking
you
know
what
can
we
do
to
help
increase
those
those
numbers
for
our
city?
Okay,
those
are
just.
J
Myself,
thank
you.
You've
actually
named
the
last
three
topics
actually
or
in
the
housing
element.
So
you
you
hit
those
issues.
Citing
policy
would
distribute
affordable
housing
throughout
the
city,
including
in
higher
opportunity
areas.
Proactive
code
enforcement
prevents
what
you're
talking
about
right
to
just
be
able
to
do
more
of
it,
certainly
in
certain
areas
and
then
yeah.
The
Adu
amnesty
program
is
in
there
too,
so
brilliant
great.
Thank
you.
B
Thanks,
commissioner,
thanks
staff
before
I'm
going
to
go
on
to
commissioner
young,
but
since
we
have
this
public
Outreach
I'd
just
like
to
make
the
suggestion
that
Outreach
be
done
to
Neighborhood
associations,
I'm
a
board
member
of
the
neighborhood
association.
It's
been
around
49
years,
not
one
word
of
the
housing
element
and
I
still
think
this
is
something
people
either
they
are
unaware.
Don't
pay
attention
to
Etc,
so
that's
just
something
I
throw
out
there
and
then
we've
talked
about
protected
class
A
Lot,
City
attorney,
who
is
not
in
a
protected
class.
J
Chair,
if
I
could
we
have
been
outreaching
to
Neighborhood
associations
and
actually
staff
just
went
to
a
couple
of
neighborhood
association
meetings,
so
we've
been
working
with
Council
offices
to
try
to
be
the
interface
on
that
I
do
have
a
list
of
protected
classes.
There's
no
chat,
I
can't
put
it
in
there,
but
I
don't
know
if,
but.
O
I
go
in
it
in
this
case,
it
may
depend
on
what
the
statute
says.
Generally
speaking,
someone
in
a
protected
class
you're,
looking
at
an
alienable,
inalienable
characteristics
such
as
race,
ethnicity,
language,
gender,
things
like
that.
The
statute
here
may
specify
what
a
protected
class
is
and
is
not
I.
F
J
Take
30
seconds
Federal,
protected
classes
include
race,
ethnicity,
color
and
national
origin,
religion,
sex,
familial
status
and
disability
California
adds
everything
covered
by
federal
plus
gender
expression
and
identity,
sexual
orientation,
marital
status
and
medical
condition,
which
isn't
usually
it's
usually
for
employment
law,
but
military
or
veteran
status
age
being
over
40.
J
B
L
Thanks
chair,
actually,
could
you
go
back
to
goal
one
please,
the
one
that
had
peace,
Heaven,
yeah
I'd,
just
like
to
well
I,
want
I,
want
to
I'd
like
to
say
my
own
personal
thoughts
on
this,
which
is
I'm
in
favor
of
Copa
I.
Think
it's
it's
the
right
thing
to
do.
I
think,
building,
affordable
housing
is
not
profitable,
so
you're
not
going
to
see
developers
doing
it.
L
You
know
out
of
the
goodness
of
their
hearts,
so
I
think
that
it's
important
when
there's
opportunities
for
nonprofits
to
build
affordable
housing,
particularly
Supportive
Housing,
to
give
them
the
first
shot
at
it.
I'm
completely
in
favor
of
that,
and
as
far
as
p7
I
am
in
favor
of
ministerial
approval
of
any
project
that
has
some
affordable
housing
in
it.
I
know
Michael
mentioned
20
percent,
I'm,
not
sure
what
the
right
number
is
but-
and
a
comment
was
made
earlier
by
another
commissioner,
that
this
is
not
popular.
L
That's
not
the
point.
It's
never
popular
to
build
a
housing
project
in
your
neighborhood,
and
but
we
need
to
do
the
right
thing,
and
this
ministerial
approach
is
one
way
to
to
get
that
done.
H
Sure
I
don't
mean
to
repeat
many
things
that
Sylvia
said
but
I
think
quite
a
few
of
these
in
the
housing
element
at
home.
With
me,
proactive
code
enforcement
I've
had
friends
that
have
been
evicted
after
trying
to
report
streamline
adus
to
the
extent
possible
friends
have
been
trying
to
build
adus
in
their
parents,
backyard
not
been
able
to
do
it
not
been
able
to
do
it
for
a
long
time
having
to
leave
the
area
I
think
it
was
N5,
affordable.
H
Putting
folks
in
high
resources
areas,
I
know
when
I
moved
into
a
an
area
in
district
7
off
of
Curtner
and
Monterey.
It
took
me
20
minutes
to
drive
to
a
grocery
store
other
than
Grocery
Outlet.
H
So
a
number
of
those
things
those
are-
and
there
are
a
number
of
others
in
the
housing
element
that
I
certainly
appreciate
in
life,
I-
think
the
Commissioners
oliverio's
Point
regarding
who's,
not
in
the
protected
class
everyone's
in
a
protected
class,
because
it
just
depends
on
how
that
class
is
used.
B
And
I'm
a
big
fan
of
Grocery
Outlet
by
the
way,
let's
see
here
any
so
now
we're
going
back
to
goal
two:
was
it
were
there
any
Commissioners
as
they
have
gold
too?
Do
you
have
any
comments
on
these
ones?.
I
Well,
you
know
I'm
looking
at
this
and
I
like
the
the
hotel,
motel
conversion.
However,
sometimes
these
hotel
motels
are
in
one
concentrated
area
like
along
Monterey
Road,
some
of
these
old
motels,
so
I'd
also
like
to
see.
Maybe
the
facilitation
of
you
know,
Apartments
converted
into
affordable
housing,
not
not
yeah
Apartments
turned
into
condos
so
that
it
could
create
home
ownership
so
that
it
could
improve
an
area
and
maybe
rent
to
own.
B
Need
to
be
cognizant
of
our
next
meeting
and
members
of
the
public
to
speak,
so
I
see
a
couple
hands
up
from
the
members
of
the
public
Elizabeth
and
we'll
limit
these
to
one
minute,
just
in
case.
More
people
want
to
speak
or
and
there's
more
comments
from
the
Commissioners,
because
we
obviously
didn't
cover
all
the
goal.
Slides
and
there's
Gary
Smith's
raised
her
hand,
so
who's
up.
First
staff.
M
C
Okay,
Elizabeth,
yes,
so
I
have
a
couple
of
things.
One
I
do
take
offense
by
one
of
the
Commissioners
comments,
saying
that
this
is
like
asking
the
police
officers.
Okay,
why
this
area
turned
into
a
ghetto
like
I,
have
a
fence
of
that
that
type
of
language
and
that
type
of
terminology
there's
so
many
complex
things
that
lead
to
an
area
of
developing
how
it
becomes
and
so
I
don't
I
I,
don't
I.
C
Just
personally
like
honestly,
don't
like
that
at
all,
and
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
was
that,
especially
when
it
comes
down
to
evictions
in
the
eviction
help
center
I
have
personal
experience.
C
Last
Friday
I
received
a
three-day
eviction,
notice
and
I
went
to
the
eviction
Center
in
City
Hall
on
the
12th
floor,
and
all
that
they
did
for
me
was
give
me
a
piece
of
paper
that
had
the
homeless
prevention
systems
number
and
it
had
about
27
different
agencies
on
there,
I
called
every
single
one
and
the
response
that
I
got
back
was
that?
Oh
sorry,
it's
full
okay.
So
your
time
is
up.
B
And
I
know
there's
someone
from
housing
staff
if
they're,
if
they
feel
the
need,
there's
Elizabeth
had
a
some
concern.
If
you
want
to
follow
up
with
so
now,
we're
on
to
Gary
Smith
or
who
you
on
staff.
C
N
P
Thank
you,
Commissioners
and
I'm
glad
to
see
commissioner
lard
narves
there
because
he's
a
resident
of
West,
San,
Jose,
I'm
board,
member
of
the
English
estates,
neighborhood
just
north
of
prospect,
high
school
and
just
it's
a
district
one
leadership
group
meeting
last
Saturday,
one
of
the
former
planning
Commissioners,
actually
brought
up
his
concerns
about
the
density
of
the
proposed
housing
under
the
new
housing
along
Saratoga
Avenue.
P
It
was
his
View
and
he's
been
on
the
Planning
Commission
that
there's
just
more
than
called
for
I'm,
not
we're
not
against
affordable
housing,
we're
not
at
housing,
we're
not
getting
people
off
the
streets,
but
we
know
that
you
know
the
El
Paseo
project
has
been
approved,
11
story
buildings.
We
know
the
traffic
along
Saratoga
Avenue.
We
know
that's
a
high-tech
area,
it's
one
of
the
vision,
zero
concerns
of
about
12
cities,
12
streets
in
Saratoga,
so
we
just
asked
you
to
pay
a
particular
attention
for
Saratoga
Avenue.
Thank
you.
E
Yes,
this
is
Paul
Soto
from
a
horseshoe.
One
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
talk
about
is
that
we
haven't
talked
about
Redline
and
the
generational
consequences
that
have
occurred
that
have
created
this.
This,
like
we're
fighting
like
what
do
we
do,
what
don't
we
do
and
we
also
have
competing
interests.
There
are
people
on
this
Planning
Commission
that
are
beholden
to
developers.
We
know
that
don't
don't
act
like
that's,
not
happening,
because
that's
exactly
what's
happening,
I'm
not
going
to
blame
you
for
it.
That's
your
hustle!
E
That's
your
get
down,
but
because
I'm
calling
you
out,
don't
look
at
me
like
I'm,
the
bad
guy.
That's
number
one!
We
need
to
use
the
measure
by
which
we
have
been
treated
with
inequity,
which
is
the
red
lighting
Maps.
We
get
and
extract
that
information
in
this
generational
impacts
of
the
economically
political
and
social
consequences.
From
that,
then
you
use
that
as
the
measure.
Okay,
so
I
I
want
to
thank
commissioner
Cantrell
because
you
hit
it
right
on
the
money.
E
N
N
Yes,
good
evening,
Commissioners
and
staff
Matthew
Reed
I'm,
the
director
of
policy
at
Silicon
Valley
at
home,
just
wanted
to
be
really
brief,
really
appreciate
the
the
commission's
questions
and
comments.
I
I
agree.
Staff
deserves
a
tremendous
amount
of
support.
This
has
been
a
long
and
difficult
process.
I
think
it's
clear
that
it's
not
over,
but
having
been
close
to
the
process.
I
I
can
tell
you
that
this
city's
been
working
very
hard
and
I.
N
Think
everybody
is
cautiously
optimistic
that
the
road
ahead
is
a
smooth
one,
but
these
discussions
are
really
important
because
in
the
end,
it's
going
to
come
back
to
you
and
it's
going
to
be
a
really
consequential
document
for
the
city.
N
Tuesday
Council
endorsed
a
staff
proposal
to
make
this
part
of
a
running
version
of
what
was
the
housing
crisis
work
plan.
So
there
will
be
many
opportunities.
B
Thank
you,
Matthew
Mary,
Helen,
Doherty,.
M
Thank
you
speaking
to
you
as
a
member
of
the
Sacred
Heart
housing
action
committee
and
a
special
thanks
and
shout
out
to
staff
as
well.
Our
members
participated
in
the
community
and
for
put
process
and
a
top
priority
that
we
would
like
you
to
keep
some
attention
on.
Is
the
under
need.
One
chapter,
three
strategy:
28
the
right
to
counsel
when
you're
in
eviction
Court.
M
We
are
talking
about
people
who
and
as
Kristin
mentioned,
ninety
percent
of
them
are
unrepresented
in
court
and
they
need
that
resource,
so
they
can
stay
in
their
home
and
we
prevent
actually
homelessness
and
we
preserve
folks
in
their
homes.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
work
and
thank
you
again
also
for
the
inclusion
and
the
state
requirement
for
their
fair
housing
analysis.
That's
a
new
requirement
and
it's
a
significant
one,
and
we
appreciate
that
it's
there.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Thanks
Mary
Helen:
well,
we
have
90
seconds
before
our
Planning
Commission
meeting
is
going
to
start
so
I'm
just
going
to
suggest.
We
adjourn
use
the
bathroom
and
we'll
see
you
here
pretty
quick.
Thank
you.
Staff.
Thank.
