Now
is

for

on
items

that
pertain

B
F
We
do
have
one
Ryan
Darby
you
are
unmuted.
Did
you
want
to
speak
on
a
top
verb,
a
different
topic
or
what
are
the
items
on
the
agenda.
G
No
just
a
topic
that
is
not
on
the
agenda:
okay,.
G
There's
a
few
people
in
the
audience,
I
think
us,
oh
hello,
am
I
there
yeah.
We
can
hear
you
okay,
sorry,
there's
a
few
people
in
the
audience
and
maybe
some
of
the
Commissioners
I've
just
recently
retired
and
I've
worked
with
people
with
disabilities,
mainly
developmental
disabilities,
for
the
last
42
years,
there's
no
housing
and
you're
all
you're
aware
of
that
I
I
just
want
to
know.
G
If
there's,
if
putting
through
the
idea
of
getting
a
centralized
location
like
a
motel,
that's
no
longer
being
used
renovating
it,
because
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
deal
with
the
population
Elite
that
I
worked
with
Transportation
medical
coverage
staff
coverage.
I
don't
want
to
go
back
to
the
old
acting
days.
I
worked
out
there
too,
but
if
that
makes
sense,
I
don't
know
how
to
word
it.
G
But
I
know
some
of
the
people
in
the
audience
some
of
the
developers
and
stuff
they
have
a
great
way
of
wording
it
they
and
just
how
to
get
help
with
that
and
I'm.
Just
putting
that
out
there
I
don't
expect
any
kind
of
response.
Obviously,
you
can't
do
that
from
the
from
the
bias,
but
I'll
send
an
email
to
Mr
oliveiro
and
if
he
could,
if
he
knows
anybody
or
if
any
of
you
do,
I
would
really
appreciate
it.
G
B
B
We
have
a
motion

this
announcement.
J
B
K
Yes,
I
have
a
presentation
I'm
going
to
share
on
Zoom.
Let's
see
here.
Can
everyone
see
my
screen
all
right?
My
name
is
Laura
miners
I'm
the
planning

manager
for
this

development,
rezoning
plan
development,
permit
investing
kind
of

for
a
project
site
located
at

K
The
site
is
approximately
13.05
gross
acres
in
size.
There
is
an
existing

Industrial
use
on
the

and
urban

K
K
K
If
you
can
see
my
my
mouse,
these
single-family
homes
and
these
Townhomes
here,
including
the
demolition
of
the
existing
industrial
facility
and
surface
parking
lot,
the
removal
of
and
the
removal
of
trees.
K
I
want
to
speak
at
this
time
to
the
supplemental
memo
which
was
sent
to
the
Commissioners
this
morning,
including
a
change
to
the
unit
count
from
820
units
to
850
units
consistent
with
the
environmental
impact
report,
General
plan
and
various
about
Urban
Village
plan,
and
also
a
change
to
the
housing
department,
conditions
of
approval
which
were
revised
to
reflect
the
anticipated
future
planned,
affordable
housing
project
and
to
apply
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance.
Accordingly,
housing
staff
is
supposed
to
be
here
to
answer
some
questions
about
that.
L
Good
evening,
Commissioners
I'm,
Tina,
gerg
and
I
am
the
environmental
project
manager
for
this
project.
After
review
of
the
project
description,
an
environmental
impact
report
or
eir
was
prepared
for
the
project
in
compliance
with
the
California
Environmental
Quality
act
or
siqua.
A
notice
of
preparation
or
NOP
was
published
on
January
15
2019
for
a
journal,
10
Amendment
and
a
plant
development
rezoning
at
this
project
site
since
publication
of
that
NOP,
the
city
adopted
the
barriers
about
Urban
Village
plan
and
more
details
regarding
the
proposed
development
of
the
site
were
identified.
L
The
ear
was
circulated
for
public
review
from
August
11
through
September
28
2022.
No
significant
unavoidable
impacts
were
identified
for
the
project
impacts,
included.
Air
quality
from
construction
and
operation
impacts
that
identified
mitigation
measures,
biological
resources
from
potential
nesting,
Birds,
subsurface,
archaeological
resources
from
construction,
hazardous
materials
from
soils,
noise
from
construction
to
nearby
buildings,
because
construction
is
over
12
months
from
mechanical
equipment
during
operations,
noise
from
vibration,
levels
to
nearby
buildings.
L
All
mitigation
measures
are
included
for
this
project
and
they
are
very
typical
and
similar
conditions
used
in
a
broad
range
of
infill
projects
such
as
this
one
person
took
closure
of
sorry.
Person
took
closure
of
public
review
period,
a
First
Amendment
of
our
final
eir,
including
response
to
comments
and
text
edits,
was
prepared
and
posted
online
for
public
review
on
April
28
2023.
L
Approximately
60
public
comments
received
on
draft
eir
comments
were
submitted
by
two
agencies:
Regional
water
board
and
Santa
Clara
Water,
Valley,
water
district
and
three
organizations,
Adams
Broadwell,
Carpenters,
Local,
Union
and
ahem
medicine.
Tribal
band.
Public
comments
predominantly
focused
on
concerns
related
to
air
quality
during
construction
and
operation,
health
risk,
Wetlands,
noise,
growth,
inducement
and
land
use.
The
comments
received
during
the
public
comment
period
did
not
change
the
eir
findings
on
sssh
recirculation
of
the
eir
and
I.
Also
I
would
also
like
to
add.
We
did
receive
two
more
comment:
letters
today,
around
noon.
L
One
was
from
a
public
public
member
and
it
identified
interest
rates.
Some
made
some
recommendations
regarding
planning
of
the
site,
related
circulation
and
another
comment
letter
was
received
by
Adams
Broadwell.
It
raised
the
similar
issues
that
we
have
already
responded
to
in
the
First.
Amendment
staff
is
available
to
respond
to
comments
questions.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you.
Tina
staff
recommends
that
the
Planning
Commission
recommend
to
city
council
to
adopt
a
resolution
certifying
the
environmental
impact
report,
approve
an
ordinance
rezoning.
The
project
site,
adopt
a
resolution
approving
subject
to
conditions,
a
vesting
tentative
map
and
adopt
a
resolution
approving
subject
to
conditions
a
plan
development
permit.
Thank
you.
This
is
conclude,
staff's
presentation.
N
Auer
and
I
am
a
land
use
consultant
that
represents
the
property
owner
and
applicant
on
this
project.
The
key
highlights
of
the
project
are
this
number
one?
What
you're
considering
today
the
zoning
development
permit
eir
are
the
implementation
policies
and
documents
of
the
city's
Urban
Village
plan.
When
the
city
council
adopts
an
Urban
Village
plan,
that's
just
the
first
step
that
sets
the
vision
and
the
land
uses
and
the
capacity.
But
then
we
need
to
go
through
a
process
of
actually
zoning
the
land
and
approving
development
permits
so
that
something
can
actually
be
constructed.
N
So
that's
all
that
this
is
It's.
Implementing
the
city
council
approved
Urban
Village
plan.
Second,
is
our
plan
includes
a
mix
of
housing
types
within
a
single
neighborhood,
all
within
easy
walking
distance
of
the
existing
Berryessa
BART
station.
So
our
plan
includes
having
for
sale,
housing,
rental,
housing
and
our
goal
is
to
have
a
substantial
amount
of
affordable
house
within
this
neighborhood
and
we
hope
to
be
successful
because
it
will
be
a
model
for
how
we
build
neighborhoods
in
the
future.
N
The
plan
consistent
with
the
Urban
Village
plan,
includes
having
future
commercial
development
fronting
on
Berryessa
Road,
to
create
Vitality
on
Berryessa,
to
extend
the
ground
floor,
commercial
uses
that
exist
in
the
adjacent
buildings
and
to
activate
the
street
and
then,
lastly,
the
plan.
Our
plan
includes
building
providing
the
land
and
the
resources
to
build
a
new
neighborhood
park
and
to
show
what
that
looks
like
this
is
the
city's
Berryessa
Urban
Village
plan.
This
is
the
Urban
Design
concept
plan,
and
can
you
see
this
on
the
screen?
N
Okay,
so
on
the
bottom
left
is
the
facino
district.
This
diagram
shows
you
the
entire
Urban
Village
plan
around
the
Baris
of
art
station,
and
this
is
what
the
plan
this
is.
This
is
a
concept
that
shows
that
what
it
could
look
like
if
the
uses
and
the
intensity
uses
get
built
out,
so
you
can
see
I'm
going
to
zero
in
now
on
Barry
on
faccino,
specifically,
which
is
here.
So
this
is
the
faccino
property
in
this
diagram.
N
That
someday
will
become
a
commercial,
an
allowed
commercial
use
fronting
on
Berryessa
to
provide
jobs
near
the
BART
station
to
provide
amenities
to
the
neighborhood,
and
then
the
third
component
is
the
park.
So
you
can
see
the
green
rectangle
there.
It
will
provide
a
new
neighborhood
park
here,
keeping
in
mind
that
within
walking
distance,
there
are
two
other
new
parks
that
the
city
is
about
to
start
construction
on.
So
this
neighborhood
is
going
to
have
a
whole
series
of
neighborhood
parks.
It'll
be
among
the
wells.
N
Most
well
served
neighborhoods
from
a
park
perspective
anywhere
in
the
city
and,
in
addition
to
that,
of
course,
are
the
Creek
Trails
penitencia
Creek
Coyote
Creek
in
this
area,
ultimately
will
have
Recreation
Trails
commute
trails
along
all
of
them.
Eventually
that
will
connect
to
the
Regional
Trail
Network.
N
So
that's
the
city's
Urban
Village
plan
and
this
is
in
detail
how
we're
implementing
it.
So
the
orientation
has
shifted
a
little
bit.
Berryess
is
now
on
the
right,
and
so
you
can
see
all
the
components
are
proposed
in
our
zoning
in
our
PD
permit
documents.
So
on
the
perimeter
we
have
the
single
family
homes
and
Townhomes.
So
we
have
a
step
down
interface
with
the
existing
neighborhood
in
the
three
yellow
blocks.
We
have
intense.
N
A
O
Foreign
hey
good
evening,
planning
commissioners
Eric,
community
and
staff.
This
is
Alex
Shore
tonight,
speaking
personally,
not
on
behalf
of
any
Commission
on
which
I
sit
or
organized
for
which
I
work,
not
speaking
on
behalf
of
catalyzing
Suite,
because
our
members
didn't
have
a
chance
to
review
this
project
I'm
getting
some
background
noise.
Is
there
a
way
for
them
to
mute
that
and
pause
the
timer?
Please
continue.
O
Thank
you,
I'm
concerned
about
the
building
of
the
single
family
and
town
homes.
First,
I
think
the
greater
homes
would
you
know
the
the
taller
buildings
with
the
more
homes
would
be
the
higher
need
that
we
have
right
now
and
you
know
I
understand
that
marketing
conditions
might
shift
and
there
might
be
less
need
for
commercial,
but
God.
Is
there
a
need
for
that
housing
and
I?
Wonder
if
Commissioners
would
be
open
to
a
motion
to
having
the
multi-story
go
forward?
O
First,
you
know
those
single-family
homes
are
going
to
be
what
two
million
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
each.
This
city
has
in
the
last
eight
years,
built
the
amount
of
market
rate
housing
it
needs.
There
are
plenty
of
homes
for
people
in
San
Jose
who
make
and
can
afford
a
home
of
two
million
dollars,
but
there
aren't
enough
affordable
homes.
There
aren't
enough
multi-story
homes
that
are
available
for
rent
and
I.
Just
wonder
if
the
plan
commission
would
make
a
motion
to
change
that
sequencing
up.
O
O
We've
got
to
do
better
and
I
would
like
to
see
planning
staff
also
in
their
report
talk
about
the
fact
that,
whereas
this
might
be
compliant,
it
is
not
going
to
achieve
the
overall
goals
of
the
city,
which
is
to
build
more
housing,
to
bring
down
the
cost
of
housing
and
bring
back
into
better
balance
the
jobs,
housing
imbalance
and
and
the
housing
costs
in
this
Valley.
So
please,
let's
get
to
work
on
this
and
see
if
we
can
make
some
improvements
here.
P
Hi,
can
you
hear
me
yes,
hi,
my
name
is
Roberto
and
me
and
my
family
are
vendors
at
the
Berryessa
Flea
Market
I
am
also
president
of
the
various
of
Flea
Market
vendors
Association,
so
just
speaking
on
behalf
of
vendors,
to
keep
us
in
mind,
as
these
developments
are
occurring
in
this
Urban
Village
and
any
look
find
and
also
asked
for
creative
ways
to
use
a
commercial
space
to
help
vendors
through
this
development
process.
P
That's
also
going
on
along
across
the
other
across
the
street,
so
just
to
keep
us
in
mind
and
also
keep
vendors
in
these
conversations
and
invited
to
these
public
meetings
that
will
be
occurring
in
the
future
and
to
the
last
speaker's
comment
as
well.
P
Second,
in
that
that
there
should
be
a
higher
density
of
housing
on
these
sites
that
are
so
close
to
public
transportation
and
to
help
with
the
housing
crisis
as
well.
Thank
you.
E
Q
Hi,
can
you
guys
hear
me?
Yes,
pretty
cool.
My
name
is
Frank
as
a
neighbor
who
saw
the
thing
anyways.
My
only
comment
is
that
I
hope
the
park
gets
built
soon
after
the
other
construction
is
done.
I've
noticed
that
in
the
park,
that's
next
to
the
sa,
the
Safeway
that's
near
the
site
that
the
park
is
built
way
after
the
rest
of
the
construction
is
done.
That's
all.
G
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
yes,
I
know
you
get
a
lot
of
that,
but
anyways.
It
looks
like
a
good
plan.
What
that
last
speaker
said
was
really
true
about
the
parks
and
I'm
sure
you
know.
Mr
Toronto
was
very
good
at
this
when
he
does
these
things
that
all
the
housing
will
be
accessible
and
up
to
Ada
standards,
I'm
already
I'm
positive,
that's
not
going
to
happen,
but
again,
like
the
other
gentleman
said
having
the
affordable
units,
because
I
I
hate
to
keep
drum
beating
this.
G
It
may
be
in
even
a
room
to
having
a
room
where
they
could
maybe
have
a
roommate
or
having
an
apartment,
and
if
things
are
just
you
know
really
expensive
to
do
that,
and-
and
there
are
people
with
developmental
disabilities
that
are
on
the
street,
you
know,
and
some
of
them
don't
make
it
and
I
just
think,
that's
a
key
factor
and
as
quick
as
we
can
deliver
housing
as
safely
and
adequately
as
possible
to
meet
the
need
of
not
only
them
but
veterans
and
school
teachers
and
policemen
and
I'm
sure
some
of
you
that
don't
own
a
house
also
understand
about
rent
and
things.
R
B
On
a
sec,
hang
on
representative,
could
you
maybe
increase
your
volume.
S
Okay,
fantastic
I,
don't
know:
okay,
yeah
I
know
what
you
heard
of
what
I
said
already,
but.
S
Okay
sounds
good.
Thank
you
very
much.
All
right.

Speaking
on
behalf
of
Silicon
Valley
residents
for
responsible
development,
Silicon
Valley
residence
urgent's
been
playing
the
commission
to
continue
today's
hearing
and
not
to
recommend
approval
of
the
project
until
the
city
prepares
a
legally
adequate
yeah.
You
are
proceed
to
sequa.
We
submit
written
comments
on
the
address
and
finally,
I
are
supported
by
Iceberg
comments,
which
explains
the
ear,
fails
to
adequately
analyze
and
mitigate
significant
environmental
impacts.
S
For
instance,
the
ear
acknowledges
that
health
risk
impacts
from
construction
emissions
and
Diesel
particular
matter
would
be
significant,
but
it
fails
to
adopt
binding
mitigation
requiring
the
project
to
use
tier
4
construction
equipment.
This
flaw
was
not
corrected
in
the
feir
Additionally.
The
ER
technologies
that
there's
potentially
significant
soil
contamination
and
hazardous
build
materials
on
site,
but
it
relies
on
post-approval
analysis
and
permanent
conditions,
but
siqua
and
Ashley.
S
The
city's
General
plan
require
this
analysis
to
be
done
during
the
public
review
process,
so
that
the
public
and
decision
makers
can
understand
the
hazard's
impacts
and
ensure
that
they
be
adequately
mitigated
due
to
these
impacts
and
general
plan.
Consistencies
and
other
identify
in
our
comments,
the
student
economic,
the
findings
necessary
to
approve
the
Project's
entitlements.
S
T
Hi,
so
I
am
calling
to
make
sure
that
I
voice
that
I
think
this
project
is
fine
from
my
housing
perspective.
But
I
am
kind
of
concerned
about
the
connectivity
aspects.
In
particular
the
Berryessa
Bart
Urban
Village
area
plan
calls
for
easy
and
convenient
bike
access
to
the
BART
station,
from
local
Regional
bike
network
and
for
pedestrian
Crossings
at
Urban
Village
boundaries
to
provide
access
to
the
BART
station,
and
this
is
this
development
backs
up
on
the
existing
Krebs
Court
Ash
hour
Court
to
the
north.
T
But
there
were
no
proposed
connections
from
the
proposed
Shore
Drive
Extension
to
Krebs
Court,
a
bicycle
pedestrian
connection.
There
would
fill
a
gap
in
the
Safe
Streets
Network
and
cut
off
upwards
of
eight
minutes
of
walk
for
people
coming
from
the
Hamilton
Park
area.
So
I
would
urge
the
Planning.
T
To
consider
getting
a
ice
cream
pedestrian
cut
for
through
the
condos
on
along
the
side.
Thank
you.
U
Hi,
can
you
guys
hear
me
yep
all
right
good
evening?
Everyone?
My
name
is
Juan
Venegas
and
I'm.
A
field
rep
with
the
NorCal
Carpenters
Union
here
in
Santa,
Clara
County
I
just
want
to
touch
on
something
important
to
this
process:
the
labor
construction
workers
desire
and
deserve
to
earn
a
livable
wage
while
having
a
beneficial
career,
they're
part
of
great
communities
all
throughout
Santa,
Clara
County.
That's
why
I
believe
labor
standards.
Language
is
critical
for
future
projects.
Specific
language
like
apprenticeship,
health
care
and
local
hire
would
improve
thousands
of
construction
workers
lives.
U
Apprenticeship
programs
allow
workers
to
learn
skills
on
the
job
in
a
classroom
setting
with
certified
instructors
as
they
progress
through
the
apprenticeship.
Many
will
obtain
college
credits,
apprenticeship
programs
Elevate
the
living
standards
of
which
individual
of
individuals
by
providing
a
debt-free
education.
With
this
in
mind,
construction
workers
would
be
able
to
secure
jobs
and
their
communities
and
give
them
a
sense
of
purpose
and
belonging.
Healthcare
is
an
important
part
of
this
language.
U
Since
roughly
50
percent
of
California
construction
workers
rely
on
some
type
of
Public
Assistance
to
be
able
to
provide
a
type
of
health
care
for
their
families.
The
lack
of
Health
Care
is
a
reason
that
keeps
workers
away
from
the
industry
and
creates
a
shortage
in
the
workforce.
Local
hire
would
benefit
the
community
several
ways.
Carbon
emissions
would
be
reduced
since
less
miles
would
be
driven
to
get
to
work.
The
families
within
the
community
would
have
a
better
working
life
balance
which
would
allow
for
a
greater
quality
of
life.
U
These
families
that
help
make
up
the
community
would
have
more
opportunities
for
Community
involvement,
labor
standards,
language,
like
apprenticeship,
health
care
and
local
hire,
will
create
a
level
of
standards
and
will
cultivate
a
responsible
Market
while
giving
construction
workers
what
they
deserve.
We
need
responsible
contractors.
Thank
you
all
for
your
time.
I
appreciate
it.
Thank.
E
V
Right,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
Perfect
all
right
how
you
guys
doing
tonight.
My
name
is
Joey
brenzuela
and
I.
Am
a
member
of

Affairs,
local,
483
and
I'm?
Also
a
resident
of
San
Jose.
This
proposed
project
at
1655
Berryessa.
It
has
the
opportunity
to
help
expand
the
career
Horizons
for
hundreds
of
apprentices
and
the
construction
trades
and
those
in
State
Certified.
Apprenticeship
programs
are
really
you
know.
They
really
need
projects
like
this
to
enhance
their
skills
and
in
turn,
Advance
their
their
lives
and
their
families
lives.
V
But
you
know
many
owners
and
the
developers
like
the
ones
behind
this
project.
They
choose
to.
You,
know,
bypass
Apprentice
apprentices
and
and
hire
low
road
contractors
almost
without
fail.
These
are
the
contractors
paying
substandard
wages
without
with
few,
if
any
benefits
that
provide
no
opportunities
to
younger
workers
and
returning
veterans,
who
are
part
of
apprenticeship
programs.
Things
could
be
much
different
for
this
project
if
the
owners
sought
out
local
stakeholders
to
have
conversations
about
making
the
difference,
but
that
hasn't
happened.
V
D
My
name
is
Daniel
Muriel
I'm,
an
apprentice
I'm
also
in
local
483
Sprinkler
Fitters
I'm.
Also,
a
current
resident
here
in
San
Jose
I
want
to
express
my
concern
about
this
project
going
forward,
while
I
do
support
to
build
more
housing
and
projects
here
in
San
Jose
and
just
in
the
Bay
Area
in
general.
I
also
believe
that
the
jobless
this
size
and
scope
it
needs
to
be
responsible,
responsibly
mannered.
D
The
project
like
this
could
be
very
help
helpful
for
bringing
economic
between
impact
San
Jose.
Unfortunately,
the
owners
they
don't
want
to
they're,
not
willing
to
conversate
with
the
local
and
deal
with
the
organizers.
We
are
afraid
that
this
project,
if
approved,
will
become
just
another
missed
opportunity
for
the
workers
here
in
the
South
Bay
and
Bay
Area
workers
and
just
giving
giving
the
workers
hired
out
of
this
region
and
we'll
pay
and
benefit
those
workers
well
below
the
standards
of
this
area.
D
W
Yes,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
hi,
it's
Kelly,
Snyder
I'm,
a
resident
of
District
six
and
a
professor
of
real
estate
development
at
San,
Jose,
State,
University
I
agree
with
many
of
the
previous
callers
assessment,
which
is
the
Project's
okay
I,
on
the
one
hand,
want
to
commend
staff
for
making
it
obvious
and
very
clear
in
the
resolution
itself
what
the
exact
first
phase
is
for
development,
so
well
done.
W
I'm
glad
we're
being
specific
about
that,
because
the
thing
that
I
want
to
say
is
it's
kind
of
embarrassing
that
in
the
city
of
San
Jose
in
the
21st
century,
we
are
still
approving
brand
new
single
family
detached
homes,
just
a
few
feet
away
from
the
only
BART
station
we
have
in
our
entire
city,
which
is
the
capital
of
San
Jose.
I
know
this
is
a
legacy
project
and
it's
too
late
to
restart
the
whole
Berryessa
Village
planning,
but
these
single-family
homes
should
not
be
allowed.
W
X
All
right:
well,
everybody
Blair
Beekman.
Here
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item.
I'm
I'm,
pretty
I,
lacked
a
lot
in
how
to
better
talk
about
these
things,
but
I
hope
my
offer
my
honest
feelings
and
opinions
I
hope
to
help
as
part
of
the
process,
so
I
I
really
like
the
first,
the
words
of
Alex
Shore.
The
first
person
who
spoke
today
and
I
liked
comment
from
the
union.
X
Persons
as
well
I
think
the
developer
can
really
understand
where
someone
like
Alex
Shore
is
coming
from
where
he
speaks.
The
developer
speaks
a
language,
that's
open
to
development
ideas
that
Alex
Shore
wants
to
refine
and
I.
I
really
hope
there
can
be
a
really
good
negotiation
process
involved
that
involves
the
vendors
themselves.
The
park
ideas
are
interesting.
X
There
needs
to
be
a
real
organic
field
for
the
future
of
this
place.
I
think
you
really
have
to
involve
vendors
themselves
to
ask
what
they
feel
our
development
standards
for
such
a
place
and
I've
been
learning
about
the
concepts
of
mixed
income
that
are
going
to
be
mandated
for
ourselves
in
local
California
cities
by
2029,
and
we
start
talking
about
those
Concepts.
X
Now
for
a
project
like
this
and
how
it
offers
the
flexibility
in
design
and
cooperation
and
ideas
about
how
you
can
get
people
of
High
income
levels
living
in
the
same
places,
the
people
at
very
low
income
and
I
just
think.
That's
a
good
future
plan
for
ourselves.
The
cooperation
and
understanding
I
hope
you
guys
are
just
wanting
to
start
talking
more
about
now
and
for
this
sort
of
project.
X
It's
good
and
so
good
luck
on
all
these
issues,
and
thanks
to
everybody's
public
comment
today
and
this
I
hope
there's
an
openness
to
the
vendors
and
and
what
they
want
to
be
doing.
Thank.
E
Y
Yeah,
my
name
is
Tom
I'm,
a
homeowner
in
berriasa,
Villa
Community,
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
bar
track,
and
I
would
like
to
request
to
plant
a
sufficient
number
of
tall
trees
between
the
the
new
community
and
and
the
track
to
maintain
privacy,
and
the
other
thing
is
to
plant
a
sufficient
trees
in
the
new
community,
similar
to
what
they
do
in
Milpitas.
On
McCandless
Drive.
B
You
so
much
so
we'll
come
back.
The
applicant
has
up
to
five
minutes.
N
Great
chair,
oliveiro
members
of
the
commission,
my
name
is
Eric
shaneauer,
so
just
to
address
some
of
the
comments.
First
of
all,
starting
with
oops
with
Alex
Shore's
comment
regarding
doing
the
multi-family
first.
First
of
all,
our
goal
is
to
build
all
the
housing
as
fast
as
possible,
but
the
reality
is
that
the
for
sale
homes
pay
for
the
infrastructure
that
will
create
the
neighborhood
and
so
going
to
our
neighborhood
plan,
which
is
not
progressing
here.
N
Let's
see
okay,
so
you
can
see
all
of
those
roads,
Shore
Drive,
Mercado,
Way
Lane,
a
lane
B
to
Rome
all
that
infrastructure
has
to
be
built
and
because
of
the
high
value
of
single-family
homes
on
the
perimeter,
we
take
the
funds
from
those
homes
to
build
the
infrastructure
to
create
the
blocks
where
the
higher
density
housing
can
be
built.
So
that's
why
the
sequence
has
to
be
in
in
that
order.
With
regard
to
the
comments
about,
why
is
there
single
family
to
begin
with,
because
that's
the
city's
plan?
N
Here's
this
is
the
city's
Urban
Village
plan
recommended
for
approval
by
the
staff
recommended
for
approval
by
the
commission
and
adopted
by
the
city
council.
We
are
mandated
by
this
plan
to
include
at
the
edge
town,
homes
and
single-family
detached
homes
as
a
transition
to
the
existing
neighborhood.
So
we
are
simply
implementing
what
the
city
told
us
to
do
with
regard
to
vendor
the
vendor
Association.
We
appreciate
Roberto's
comments
just
to
be
clear,
though
this
site
has
never
been
part
of
the
flea
market
ever
in
history,
and
it
has
no
impact
on
flea
market
operations.
N
But
I
get
the
point
that
when
commercial
development
happens
on
Berryessa,
if
there
are
opportunities
for
storefronts
that
bury
us
or
that
Flea
Market
vendors
might
be
able
to
move
into,
that
could
be
a
good
opportunity,
but
as
of
today,
we're
not
proposing
any
specific
commercial
development
someday,
there
will
be
a
building
of
some
type
and
it
may
or
may
not
have
ground
floor
commercial
space.
That
could
be
an
opportunity.
So
that's
a
future
opportunity
to
discuss
with
regard
to
the
park
timing.
Once
again,
the
plan
requires
a
park.
N
Our
plan
includes
the
park
and
this
the
city
parks
department
has
gone
back
and
forth
about
five
times
in
the
last
two
years
about
whether
they
want
developers
to
build
Parks
or
whether
they
want
to
take
the
land
and
the
cash
and
the
city
builds
the
park,
and
the
latest
position
is
the
city
would
like
us
to
give
the
land
and
give
the
money
and
the
city
is
going
to
do
it,
and
so
that's
what
we
intend
to
do
so.
N
We
fully
intended
to
build
the
parks
as
part
of
our
development.
The
city
requested
that
we
dedicate
the
land
instead
and
give
them
the
five
million
dollars
of
value
that
we
promised
and
that's
what
we
did
so.
The
building
of
those
Parks
is
the
city's
responsibility.
Now
and
I
did
review.
You
reviewed
the
capital
budget
tonight.
If
you
look
in
that
budget,
there
is
funding
for
brazoni,
Park
and
funding
for
Mercato
Park
in
the
2022-2023
capital
budget.
N
So
my
assumption
is:
the
city
will
begin
construction
this
fiscal
year
to
get
those
Parks
built
with
regard
to
connectivity
through
Krebs
Court
I
personally
agree
with
the
speaker,
however,
during
the
community
process
for
the
Urban
Village
plan,
Neighbors
in
adjacent
existing
neighborhoods
did
not
want
roadways
connected
because
their
big
fear
is
that
traffic
would
cut
through
their
neighborhood,
and
so
the
staff
and
the
city
council
approved
a
plan
that
does
not
connect
the
existing
roadways
at
Krebs
Court
to
the
new
roadway
Network.
So
that
was
not
our
decision.
N
That
is
part
of
the
Urban
Village
plan
and
the
reason
for
it
was
that
neighbors
don't
want
traffic
going
on
to
their
quiet,
cul-de-sac,
neighborhoods
and
then.
Lastly,
on
Workforce
standards,
I'll.
Let
the
City
attorney
address
that
Workforce
centers
are
not
land
use
issues.
It
is
not
appropriate
to
address
them
in
land
use
decisions
so
that
the
attorney
can
advise
on
that
and
the
staff
has
a
chart.
If
you
want
to
see
it,
you
can
ask
for
it.
N
The
it
is
the
normal
process
for
the
labor
unions
to
insert
these
letters
that
are
hundreds
of
pages
at
the
last
minute.
They've
done
dozens
and
dozens
of
times
over
the
past
decade
and
never
once
in
the
past
decade
has
this
commission,
the
city
council
or
the
planning
director
ever
found
any
Merit
to
any
claim
in
any
of
those
letters.
N
B
There
may
very
well
be
questions,
but
I
think
at
this
time.
Let's
did
staff,
have
any
comments
after
the
applicant's
presentation
or
comments
from
the
public.
K
B
So
normally
I
would
go
ask
Commissioners
for
questions,
but
I
had
some
questions
right
off
the
bat.
If
you
don't
mind,
Mr
shaynauer
you
mentioned-
and
this
is
very
common
neighbors-
don't
want
new
developments
to
connect
at
all
for
fear
of
the
traffic
and
how
it
will
unpack
them.
Is
there
any
walk
connecting
where
people
can
walk
in
towards
crabs
or
Mercado
that
allow
people
to
go
into
this
neighborhood?
Or
will
this
be
siled.
N
N
B
Okay
and
then
on
the
other
connectivity
to
Bart,
it
appears
that
once
you
walk
out
of
this
future
development,
you
can
go
either
left
or
right
and
take
a
crosswalk
signalized
intersection
across
the
BART
station.
Is
that
correct,
yeah.
N
For
the
purposes
of
the
new
development,
there
is
direct
pedestrian
access
to
the
BART
station.
I,
don't
think,
that's
in
question,
I
think
the
neighbor
that's
right
is
talking
about
in
his
existing
neighborhood
today
right
in
order
for
him
to
get
to
the
BART
station,
he
has
to
go
out
to
Sierra
Road
first,
which
is
out
of
the
way
and
then
come
down
Sierra
to
Berryessa,
to
the
BART
station
and
by
his
calculation
that
adds
0.4
miles
to
his
his
path.
B
And
then
on
your
850
residential,
that's
802,
multi,
multi-family
and
then
24
and
24
of
townhouse
and
house,
or
does
it
come
up
to
a
little
bit
higher
yeah.
N
So
so
the
certain
numbers
are,
there
are
24
single
family,
detached
homes
right
aligning
the
homes
behind
us,
and
then
there
are
24
Town
Homes
right,
aligning
the
town
homes
adjacent
to
us
right.
The
rest
of
the
units
will
be
multi-family
Podium
development.
The
exact
unit
count,
is
not
determined
yet
for.
B
C
Okay,
yeah
Laura
I
think
this
is
a
question
for
you.
So
looking
at
the
staff
report,
there's
the
supplemental
memo
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
understanding
the
housing
department
conditions
of
approval,
because
it
it
references,
basically
the
applicant,
providing
a
bond
to
cover
in-lu
fees.
But
the
bond
would
be
returned
within
five
if,
within
five
years,
there's
approval
of
a
697
unit,
restricted,
affordable
project
and
that
project
I
don't
see
other
reference
to
it
in
this
report.
C
K
We
received
that
updated
Memo
from
housing
on
Monday
I
invited
housing
to
attend
this
meeting.
I
don't
see
Darius
here.
Okay
is
anyone
else
from
housing.
At
this
meeting,
please
raise
your
hand.
We.
Z
C
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
understanding
the
housing
department.
Conditions
of
approval
in
the
supplemental
memo
is
what's
going
on
that
the
applicant
intends
to
satisfy
the
inclusion
and
requirements
by
building
a
697
unit
project
off-site,
but
because
that's
a
separate
approval,
there's
a
bond
involved
to
cover
the
in
Luffy.
If
that
doesn't
happen,
is
that
what's
going
on?
Okay,
so.
Z
What
we
have
here
for
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
requirement
when
we
accepted
this
project,
the
Project's
compliance
plan,
we
essentially
worked
with
the
applicant
to
kind
of
help
them
and
support
them
with
getting
their
project
to
the
standards
of
iho.
What
they
did.
They
selected
our
alternative
method:
compliance
option.
With
this
alternative
method,
compliance
option,
we
allow
developers
to
propose
ways
that
they
see
that
they
can
meet
the
requirements
of
the
iho
and
also
deliver
a
greater
benefit
to
the
city.
Z
In
this
case,
what
the
developer
is
doing
is
you
know,
taking
provisions
of
another
compliance
option,
which
is
our
partnership
for
cluster
units
and
that
base
requirement
for
the
partnership
for
custom
units
is
a
15
iho
obligation
on
the
site.
So
what
we
have
is
about
150
three
units
market
rate
units
where
we're
taking
a
15
obligation
and
with
this
obligation
for
just
the
153
market
rate
units
we're
kind
of
looking
at
about
23
units
that
would
be
otherwise
just
required
under
iho,
and
that's
just
for
the
153
units.
Z
Then
you
take
the
697
units
in
the
affordable
block.
We
would
do
another
15
and
that's
about
105
units.
So,
just
just
for
our
15
obligation
on
what's
being
proposed
and
planned
of
the
850
units,
the
developer
will
be
on
the
hook
for
about
128,
affordable
units
to
meet
the
iho
obligation
and
meeting
with
the
developers
and
and
listening
to
their
proposal
in
their
project.
They
went
above
the
128,
affordable
units
within
the
iho
and
they're
actually
putting
for
697,
affordable
units
in
this
project.
Z
You
know
be
because
this
is
not
a
city
funded
development
and
the
developers
are
are
seeking
their
own
Finance
for
this
project.
We
still
wanted
to
work
with
the
developers
to
get
a
little
bit
deeper
benefit
for
the
city,
which
you
know
we're
happy
that
day
they
were
willing
to
work
with
us.
You
know
the
units
are
are
going
to
be
coming
on
at
a
deeper
level
of
affordability.
For
us
they
were
willing
to
do
that
to
meet
some
of
the
requests
from
the
housing
department.
Z
When
we
looked
at
the
The
Surety
and
just
some
type
of
assurance
for
the
city
right,
because
we
know
that
they're
they're
moving
the
project
forward
in
phases,
so
I
definitely
hear
the
comments
tonight.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
know
our
our
ordinance,
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
isn't
a
barrier.
Z
You
know
to
this
this
pre-development
stage
we
want
to.
We
want
to
support
developers
and
developments
moving
forward
throughout
the
city.
So
what
we
kind
of
worked
on-
and
you
know,
came
up
with
and
agreed
to
in
the
the
conditions
here
we
wanted
the
developers
to
you
know
put
forward.
You
know
the
the
actual
in
fee
amounts
for
the
market
rate
portion
since
Those
portions.
Those
phases
are
going
first.
Z
They're
gonna
have
to
submit
a
a
city
performance
bond
letter
credit
which
so
forms
will
be
drafted
up
by
housing,
department
attorneys
from
the
city
attorney's
office,
and
they
will
have
to
submit
the
the
security
prior
to
the
first
certificate
of
occupancy
for
the
first
unit
in
the
market
rate
phase,
so
the
in-lu
fee
security
is
going
to
be
equivalent
to.
If
this
developer
came
forward
and
just
said
I
I'm,
you
know
not
going
to
build
any
affordable
and
I'm
just
going
to
do
the
in-lu
fee
as
my
compliance
option.
Z
Once
they
move
to
phase
three
for
the
affordable
portion,
they
will
have
to
do
our
affordable
housing
agree
agreement
where
there
will
be
a
deed
restricted
for
these
units
are
going
to
be
de-restricted
for
99
years
under
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance,
and
if
they
do
not
move
forward
with
the
project,
they
don't
have
the
the
financing
in
place
for
the
affordable.
Z
Because,
like
I
said
it's
not
City
funded,
they
don't
have
the
finances
in
place
and
they
do
not
pull
the
building
permits
for
the
697,
affordable
project,
the
the
location,
then
that's
when
the
the
in-lu
fees
that
they
have
already
put
forward
in
the
bonds
will
be.
You
know
moved
over
to
our
our
in
Luffy
fund
for
100,
affordable,
housing
developments
throughout
the
city,
so
yeah
we
have.
Z
We
have
the
language
in
the
condition
we
will
be
working
with
the
developer
as
I
get
close
to
any
building
permits
for
phase
one
or
phase
well,
yeah
phase,
one.
That's
the
first
phase
putting
this
in
and
more
of
the
language,
so
you
know
happy
to
to
answer
any
other
questions
about
the
housing
obligation.
C
Thank
you.
Darius
I
really
appreciate
that
explanation
and
just
further
clarifying
question,
and
maybe
this
is
for
staff.
Maybe
it's
for
Mr
shanauer,
so
these
697
units
is
this.
Are
they
on
this
site,
or
is
this
going
to
be
something?
That's
separate,
I'm,
not
clear
on
that.
N
Yeah
Mr
chair,
Eric
shaneauer,
commissioner
lard
Noir.
Yes,
all
of
the
proposed
affordable
units
are
on
in
this
new
neighborhood.
So
on
this
exhibit
you
can
see
the
just.
Let
me
just
spell
it
all
out
for
you,
so
the
single
family
and
Townhomes
are
on
lots.
A
b
and
Parcels
a
B
and
C
are
for
sale,
single
family
parcel,
D
is
planned
for
for
sale,
condominium,
Podium,
building
and
then
parcel
h,
f
and
g
is
currently
proposed
as
all
affordable.
N
All
those
blogs.
Now
what
our
our
base
commitment
is
that
we
will
provide
the
required,
affordable
units
on
site.
That's
that's
our
intent
and
our
bigger
goal
is
to
make
all
of
h,
f
and
g
all
affordable,
meaning
units
of
different
sizes,
bedroom
counts
at
80
percent,
Ami
or
below,
and
so
that's
our
intent
and
why
collateral
is
needed
is
because
of
the
phasing
that
we
talked
about
earlier.
N
Well,
it's
just
not
feasible
in
how
development's
done,
and
so
what
the
city
is
saying
is
that
if
there
is
a
lag
time,
then
the
developer
is
going
to
have
to
provide
Financial
collateral
to
ensure
that
the
affordable
homes
get
built
and
if
they
don't
get
built
in
the
specified
time
frame.
The
city
has
the
right
to
take
the
cash
as
an
in-loo
payment.
Instead.
C
C
The
affordable
evenings
don't
happen
at
all
within
the
five
years
and
the
bond
is
surrendered
to
the
city
or
you
build
out
697
units
across,
as
you
said,
HF
and
G,
in
which
case
you'd
get
the
bond
back
and
then
there
is
there
a
possibility
that,
because
I
know
you
said,
there's
you
know,
there's
the
Baseline
and
there's
the
bigger
goal
so
building
some
of
those
affordable
units
and
then
what
a
portion
of
the
bond
would
be
surrendered
to
the
city.
Is
that
how
that
would
work.
N
Well,
that's
to
be
determined
in
the
what
happens
now
in
the
process
is
we've
we've
come
to
agreement
with
the
housing
department
on
our
intent,
our
intent.
What
will
happen
now
is
between
now
and
pulling
up
the
first
building
permit
for
the
overall
development.
We
must
actually
negotiate
a
detailed
agreement,
a
binding
agreement
that
specifies
all
the
things
that
you're
asking
about
and
that
agreement
gets
executed
between
the
developer
and
the
city
and
recorded
against
the
property,
and
so
it
will
specify
what
happens
in
those
different
potential
scenarios.
Okay,.
C
Thank
you
for
clarifying
that
really
appreciate
that,
and
then
also
just
thank
you
to
staff
for
working
creatively
to
address
this
particular
project.
I.
Don't
think
I've
seen
something
like
this
before,
but
it
seems
like
the
right
solution
in
this
case.
M
Mr
sheenauer,
since
we
have
this
up,
I'm
I
did
a
drive
out
to
the
area
today
and,
quite
quite
frankly,
I
think
I
was
confused
at
what
parcel
I
was
looking
at.
So
I
was
in
the
Berryessa
Bart,
it's
it's
a
street,
it's
a
street
that
goes
into
the
BART
station.
Okay,
so
can
you
just
kind
of
Orient
us
to
where
the
BART
station
is
compared
to
this
piece
of
property?
Here,
yeah.
N
M
M
N
Site
and
if
I
go,
if
I
go
back
to
some.
N
N
M
Okay,
great
so
so
the
the
folks
that
live
that
will
live
here
will
basically
just
have
to
cross
Berryessa
and
they'll,
be
at
the
bar
station.
M
M
Okay,
great
I
do
have
well,
first
of
all,
I
I'd,
just
like
to
say,
I
think
this
is
a
wonderful
project
for
many
many
different
reasons.
I
think
it's
the
exact
thing
that
we
should
be
building
in
our
Urban
Villages,
and
particularly
near
Transit,
and
I'm,
really
glad
that
a
significant
amount
of
units
will
be
affordable
as
well.
That's
great
to
hear,
as
well
as
a
good
parcel
for
for
a
commercial
building.
M
I
would
think
that
would
be
a
very
attractive
building
to
for
a
for
a
tenant
that
had
you
know,
folks
that
worked
in
Tech
or
whatever
staff
I
just
had
one
question,
and
it's
more
just
on
terminology.
On
page
four,
the
staff
report
you
mentioned
Flex
office
space
with
a
large
plate
format.
M
K
That
is
regarding
the
general
plan.
Consistency
oh
I,
see.
I
was
quoting
the
description
of
the
various
General
plan
designations.
K
K
M
Yeah
and
and
I'm
and
I
apologize
I
may
be
on
the
wrong
page,
but
if
I
can
I'll
try
to
give
you
a
little
more
context
from
what
I
remember,
which
is
that
there
you
were
talking
about
the
commercial
building
and
how
it
was
going
to
be
just
I
guess
designed
and
the
the
the
language
I
have
quoted
was
Flex
office
space
with
large
plate
formats.
I.
K
N
Yeah
yeah
Mr
chair
the
the
just
that
that
terminology
is
when
I
say
large
floor
plate
or
large
format.
N
N
Yeah,
so
what's
going
on
in
the
office,
Market
is
a
traditional
office
in
Downtown.
San
Jose
has
a
when
you
say
a
floor
plate.
It's
the
you
know
the
square
footage
of
each
individual
floor
and
the
floor
plates
downtown
are
typically
like
20,
000
square
feet
and
tech
office.
Today,
there's
a
preference
to
have
a
more
open
floor
plan
for
now.
N
Of
course,
this
was
the
theory
before
covid,
so
we'll
see
how
it
works
out
now,
but
pre-covered
having
a
more
open
floor,
mat
with
people
working
in
big
rooms
together,
and
there
was
a
preference
to
have
floor
plates
as
big
as
40
or
50
000
square
feet
per
floor,
all
open.
So
that's
the
the
floor,
plate
question
and
then
the
flex
is
is
is
what
Laura's
mentioning
is.
Is
you
don't
have
a
lot
of
dividing
offices?
N
M
I
Thank
you
actually,
my
my
question.
I'm
sorry.
I
My
apologies
actually,
could
you
bring
back
up
your
that
slide
that
we
were
just
looking
at
if
possible,.
I
Okay,
yeah
yeah,
perfect
it.
It
does
sound
great
I'm
curious
though,
and
I
I
do
understand
the
financing
issues.
As
soon
as
the
question
came
up,
I
assumed
that
was
going
to
be
the
issue
you
got
to
finance
in
some
way
and
it's
not
easy,
and
you
say
you
phase
your
Construction
in
a
way
that
it
it
subsidizes
the
additional
cost
or
the
the
other
costs.
I'm
curious,
though,
the
phasing
currently
is
single
family
to
parcel
D
after
single
family.
What
what's
the
phasing?
Well.
N
N
The
reality
and
and
the
other
thing
about
timing
of
sequencing
is
the
single
family
homes
are
don't
in
essence,
don't
need
financing,
because
the
developer
builds
them
with
cash
generated
from
the
sale
of
the
homes.
Okay,
so
they
can
start
right
away.
So
why
delay
housing
units,
whereas
affordable
units
which
are
blocks
h,
f
and
g
they're,
subject
to
very
complicated
financing
processes,
including
tax
credits
and
other
programs,
where
you
may
have
to
apply
two
or
three
times
over
years
before
you
ever
secure
the
funds?
N
And
so
we
can't
start
with
that,
because
we
have
no
idea
how
quickly
that
will
happen
and
that's
why,
in
the
affordable
housing
agreement
that
commissioner
lard
Noir
was
referring
to
that's,
why
there's
the
potential
of
lag
time
and
why
the
city
wants
to
ensure
that
the
affordable
obligation
is
met
either
through
providing
the
units
or
paying
the
Luffy?
And
so,
if
there
is
lag
time,
then
we're
going
to
have
to
provide
this
collateral
right.
I.
I
Get
that
I
get
all
of
that
and
and
actually
I
think
it's
creative
and
it's
helpful
yeah
not
just
for
the
developer,
but
for
the
community
to
secure
right
the
necessary
funding
for
additional
development
in
other
areas.
If
that
has
to
be
my
question
really
is:
what's
your
best
guess
here
what
comes
next?
You,
you
have
to
have
a
plan
to
move
forward
with
some
of
these
other
structures.
I
I
I
N
I
N
N
We
will
then
proceed
assuming
that
there
are
no
conditions
that
are
detrimental
to
the
plan.
They
will
proceed
with
designing
and
submitting
to
the
city
the
specific
designs
for
each
of
those
blocks
and
moving
those
forward
to
directors
hearing
and
through
that
design.
They
will
then
have
an
established
project
that
they
can
then
pursue
financing
right.
So
that
is
the
next
step,
is
design
and
entitlement
and
financing.
So
you
can
build
an
actual
building.
G
I
I
N
I
N
I
N
B
And
as
an
example
of
the
what
ifs
and
these
scenarios
we
just
approved
at
the
old
Fry's
building
some
entitlements
and
because
they
can't
get
financing
they're
now
renting
the
space
out
for
warehouse,
for
who
knows
how
long
and
for
all
these
entitlements,
we're
just
one
step
of
the
process
and
everything
else
gets
done.
Maybe
I
mean
I,
think
the
scenario
when
commissioner
took
off-
but
you
know
this
happened,
that
happened.
B
AA
N
AA
No,
no
just
so
just
so
in
a
broader
audience.
Yes,
there's
no
confusion.
That's
correct!
Okay,
and
you
said
that
there's
a
community
that
doesn't
want
to
connect
to
this
community
so
am
I,
am
I,
am
I
clear
that
Shore
Mercado
and
the
Rome
won't
connect
east
or
west,
but
basically
down
in
this
picture,
like
they
won't
connect
to
the
existing
community.
No.
N
N
Okay,
because
that
was
by
design
that
we
all
we
all
knew
that
the
development
would
go
on
to
the
facino
property
and
we
want
it
all
connected
integrated
the
the
neighbors
we're
talking
about
are
on
this
page
are
the
ones
to
the
left,
the
existing
single-family
neighborhoods
that
were
built,
I,
don't
know
30
40
years
ago,
oh.
N
AA
N
It
dead
ends,
so
the
neighbors,
the
the
the
the
the
neighbor
who
commented
is
saying.
Well,
if
you
could,
let
me,
through
the
fence.
I
can
walk
straight
to
the
bar
station
extremely
good
point,
but
there
was
an
extensive
Community
engagement
process
to
to
design
the
Urban
Village
plan
and
adjacent
neighbors
are
very
protective
of
their
existing
neighborhood
and
when
you
live
on
a
cul-de-sac,
you
sort
of
like
living
on
a
cul-de-sac,
and
you
don't
want
it
connected
and.
E
AA
AA
Right,
okay
and
then
just
my
last
question,
so
I
love,
I,
love,
parcel
e
right.
The
park
I
think
that's
a
great
idea,
but
I
wonder
if
there's
any
way
we
can
push
it
to
the
middle.
So
it's
more
surrounded
by
more
units.
More
people,
I
bet
the
single
family
homes
on
two
two
edges
of
it
will
love
the
appeal
but
I
wonder
if
it
can
be
more
integrated
into
the
community
by
putting
it
in
the
middle.
N
Well,
all
I
can
say
is
that
the
parks
department
wants
it
in
this
location
there,
as
well
as
the
Urban
Village
plan.
So
I
can
go
back
right
to
here
is
the
Urban
Village
plan.
It
was
explicitly
put
here
because
they
wanted
to
keep
the
tallest
residential
buildings
away
from
the
existing
single-family
backyards,
so
they
wanted
to
use
not
only
the
row
of
single-family
homes,
but
then
they
want
to
use
the
park
as
an
additional
buffer
to
push
that
height
away
from
the
neighborhood.
That
was
their
rationale,
we're
just
implementing
what
the
plan
dictated
right.
N
AB
AC
Mean
I
think
I've
probably
been
in
a
dead
horse
here,
but
I
think
what
Kelly
said
about
you
know
putting
single-family
homes
in
an
area
where
we're
supposed
able
to
put
denser
housing
seems
like
it's,
at
least
in
my
mind,
contrary
to
the
spirit
of
building
these
Urban,
Villages
and
I
know.
There
are
folks
here
that
were
on
the
task,
force
and
I
know.
AC
I
guess
one
question
I
have
is,
you
have
a
say
at
least
a
minimum
of
a
four-story
building,
but
if
it's,
but
then
you
have
the
step
down
right,
a
step
down
to
single
family
homes,
so
the
single-family
homes
are
being
used
as
a
buffer
so
that
the
four-story
building
does
not
abut
single-family
homes.
N
R
N
So
that's
like
you
know,
12
or
14
14
story
building.
So
that's
what
that's
what
this
the
you
know.
Staff's
theory
was
that
if,
if
this
building
is
seven
stories-
and
this
building
is
taller
than
seven
stories,
they
like
the
park
to
help
create
a
buffer
from
these
existing
homes
now
granted
right
here,
we're
going
to
be
closer,
but
they
just
thought
that
the
park
helped
create
a
better
interface.
That's
and
the
single
family.
AC
N
N
AC
Know
I
just
you
know:
I,
listen
to
Alex,
I,
listen
to
Kelly
and
whatnot,
and
of
course
you
know
one
of
the
areas
that
I
could
build
dense,
denser
housing.
It's
next
to
the
BART
station.
There's
only
going
to
be
three
bar
stations
in
San
Jose
and
it
just
seems
like
building
single
family
homes
is
what
we've.
AC
AD
AD
Questions
specifically
with
the
zone
change
you
know
recently,
I've
noticed
that
there's
really
a
little
bit
of
land
that
is
zoned,
light
Industrial
in
the
city
of
San
Jose,
and
this
is
13
acres.
Of
course,
I
I
believe
that
housing
is
right
now
supersedes,
but
I
just
wanted
to
know.
You
know
how
are
you
replacing
the
loss
of
light
industrial
land.
K
As
far
as
the
use
itself,
the
intent
of
the
Urban
Village
plan
was
to
replace
the
jobs,
not
really
the
use
itself,
and
the
commercial
lot
itself
will
provide
up
to
455
000
square
feet
of
commercial
use
and
that
is
equivalent
to
approximately
5.0,
far
floor
area
ratio
of
the
site,
and
that
means
that
the
jobs
generated
by
that
commercial
lot
will
far
exceed
the
jobs
that
are
currently
at
the
light.
Industrial
use
yeah.
AD
K
AD
Yeah
I
mean
you
know
when
we
make
decisions
like
this,
you
have
to
really
think
about
holistically
the
whole
city
and
the
loss
of
light
industrial
land
in
in
the
opportunity.
For
other
types
of
you
know,
jobs
that
are
created
and
done
here
through
light
manufacturing
or
you
know,
I've
seen
a
lot
of
people
that
do
I.
Don't
know
like
you
know
these
little
bits
and
pieces
that
are
required
for
computers
or
whatever
they
do,
and
so
I
I
just
I've
just
noticed
that.
AD
So,
of
course,
that's
just
a
concern,
but
obviously
you
know
if
we
look
around,
we
see
the
need
for
for
housing
the
poor,
which
you
know
supersedes
in
this
particular
case.
I
I
really
hope
that
you
do
get
the
financing
to
build
this
and
that
you're
able
to
build
this
697,
affordable
units.
I
really
do
I
think
that
would
be
fantastic,
a
course
I
Echo.
What
my
fellow
Commissioners
have
said,
I
I
wish
I
I
understand
that,
because
of
neighborhood
compatibility,
the
neighborhood
really
wanted
lower.
AD
However,
I
think
we
could
have
done
a
better
job
of
creating
a
little
bit.
You
know
stepping
it
in
a
certain
way
that
created
more
higher
density
and
maximize
the
parcel,
maybe
even
doing
rooftop,
gardens
and
whatnot
and
in
regards
to
the
vendors
and
the
Berryessa
Flea
Market,
a
thought
that
came
to
mind
was
I.
Remember
in
La.
AD
They
have
a
lot
of
these
indoor
swap
meets
where
they
take
an
existing
building,
and
it's
not
like
our
typical
flea
markets
that
we
see
here,
but
it's
kind
of
like
an
open
building
and
it
has
several
floors
and-
and
the
vendors
just
you
know,
come
in
and
sell
their
stuff.
So
that
would
be
an
idea
for
some
of
the
Berryessa
displacement
of
some
of
those
vendors
but
overall
I
think
I.
Think
the
fact
that
you
want
to
do
this.
Many
housing
I
think
it's
great.
AD
N
But
the
staff
report
summarizes
the
approach,
so
I
mean
this
is
a
challenge
and
actually
we're
experiencing
this
in
North
San
Jose
as
well,
and
I'm,
working
with
council
member
Cohen
on
some
projects
when
the
city
shifts
from
being
Suburban
with
big,
open
parking,
lots
and
open
areas
to
Urban
the
amount
of
space
to
have
trees
shrinks,
just
by
definition
right
right
now.
This
is
a
big
open
lot,
with
trucks
parked
and,
and
so
there
are
trees.
But
once
you
build
buildings
like
this,
you
can't
put
trees
in
the
middle
of
the
building.
N
So
the
only
place
to
put
trees
is
on
the
street
in
the
park
and
maybe
some
isolated
pockets
next
to
buildings.
So
there's
going
to
be
often
a
net
reduction
of
trees.
That's
true!
The
policy
requires
that
that
you
have
to
meet
the
tree
replacement
ratio,
and
that
varies
depending
on
the
size
and
species
of
trees,
roughly
four
to
one
for
Ordnance
sized
trees
and
I
think
two
to
one
for
non-ordinate
sized
trees.
N
You
get
credit
for
every
tree
you
plant,
but
if
you
can't
satisfy
the
full
obligation,
then
you
have
to
pay
the
fee
and
the
Luffy
today
is
somewhere
around
eight
hundred
dollars
per
tree.
If
I
recall,
so
the
development
is
obligated
to
maximize
planting
trees
on
site
and
then
paying
money
to
plant
trees
elsewhere
in
the
city.
V
N
A
AB
Planning
director
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
with
the
commissioner's
wise's
question
regarding
the
loss
of
industrial
land.
It's
something
that
the
city
and
other
cities
are
grappling
with,
because
there
is
no
requirements
to
replace
industrial
land
when
it's
lost.
However,
if
you
are
down
zoning
that
will
impact
residential
uses
stage,
Law
requires
you
that
you
have
to
show
that
there
is
residential
capacity
elsewhere
so
because
of
the
new
State
housing
laws.
A
lot
of
CDs
and
jurisdictions
are
feeling
powerless
in
terms
of
land
use
control
just
wanted
to
put
that
in
perspective.
N
Also
to
address
your
comment
on
the
vendor
inside
multi-story
vendor
swap
meets.
So
when
the
flea
market
property
was
approved
by
the
city
council,
there
were
a
couple
of
conditions
in
that
approval.
One
was
that
the
development
and
that's,
of
course,
has
nothing
to
do
with
this
property
tonight.
This
is
a
separate
property,
but
the
requirement
is
that
the
five
acres
of
the
flea
market
site
has
to
be
provided
as
an
Urban
Plaza
that
could
accommodate
an
open-air
Market.
N
So
that's
one
requirement
that
five
acres
of
land
Plaza
have
to
be
provided
adjacent
to
the
station,
and
then
the
council
also
directed
that
the
city
analyzed
the
feasibility
of
multi-story
structures
as
possibly
being
built
on
that
Plaza
to
accommodate
vendors.
The
city
council
has
now
formed
the
vendor
Advisory
Group
formally,
and
the
first
meeting
of
the
vendor.
N
Advisory
Group
is
coming
up,
May
17th
and
that
group
of
vendors,
along
with
the
property
owner,
are
going
to
work
together
with
City
staff
to
figure
out
the
best
transition
plan,
and
it
may
be
on
those
five
acres.
It
may
be
in
a
multi-story
building.
It
may
be
on
a
site.
We
haven't
even
thought
of
before.
H
And
I
just
Shane
our
I'm,
a
fan
of
the
project.
I
think
the
phasing
makes
sense.
Horizontal
development
isn't
always
going
to
precede
vertical
development
and
the
fact
that
you
have
these
single-family
homes
that
you
can
sell
to
finance
the
horizontal
development.
If
anything
is
going
to
expedite
the
process.
So
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
staff's
recommendations.
B
B
So
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
anything
else,
commissioner
Casey.
Oh,
that
was
young
commissioner
Young,
no
okay,
I
just
like
to
speak
on
the
motion.
B
Just
well
hang
on
I'll
give
you
the
floor
after
I'm
inclined
to
support
the
motion
and
I'll
explain
why.
First
of
all,
I
think
this
is
a
great
lesson
in
transparency
to
anybody
who's
watching
this
process
and
then
how
developments
are
financed
and
how
they're
made
the
the
applicants
being
very
candid
in
what
it
takes
to
get
things
done,
and
we
have
a
situation
where
we're
facing
existing
city,
council
policy
and
City
planning
that
has
stated
to
someone
who
wants
to
put
something
on
this
piece
of
land.
B
This
is
what
you
must
do
and
I
personally,
don't
like
the
fact
that
they're
single
family
homes
being
put
on
this
parcel,
but
that's
the
policy
that
has
promoted
that
to
make
these
things
go
together
and
it
I
can't
really
say
know
when
they're,
following
the
rules
that
the
policy
makers
laid
out
for
them.
And
if
that
wasn't
the
case
tonight,
we
would
have
a
lot
of
people
in
the
audience
being
really
upset
that
we
weren't
honoring
the
plan.
B
That
said,
we
were
going
to
provide
a
buffer,
so
you
know
so,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
as
a
commissioner
I
have
to
go
with
what
they
are.
You
know
what
is
their?
What
are
the
the?
What
are
the
terms
they're
working
under
and
that
these
are
the
terms
that
we've
laid
upon
the
applicant,
even
though
again
I
would
prefer
everything
be
160
feet
here,
but
that
maybe
wouldn't
get
financed
either.
B
So
that's
you
know
what
we're
faced
of
and
I.
Think
if
you
look
at
this
on
Google
Maps,
what
you'll
see
is
the
residential
creep?
This
used
to
be
far
more
industrial
land
and
the
fact
in
reality
is
there
would
be
a
development.
Community
would
have
no
problem
Paving
over
every
industrial
parcel
in
the
city
to
build
housing
and
guess
what
we
still
wouldn't
we'd,
be
in
a
worse
housing,
jobs,
balance
with
not
the
revenue
to
pay
for
City
Services
and
pay
for
City
staff
and
housing
probably
still
wouldn't
be
affordable.
B
So
there's
a
balance
here
and
that's
why
the
plan
Beyond
requiring
the
houses
requires
this
455
000
square
feet
of
commercial.
So
being
it
that's
what
it
said,
I
support
the
motion,
even
though
I
have
levels
of
discomfort,
I
have
to
be
on,
I
have
to
honor
what
the
the
policy
is
today.
So
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
the
motion.
That's
made
on
the
floor,
I'm
going
to
clear
the
list
just
in
case
and
then
I'm
going
to
go
to
commissioner
Cantrell
now.
I
Thank
you
and
I
think
we
all
respect
and
appreciate
your
perspective
as
well.
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
quick
thank
you
and
I
meant
to
do
this
earlier
to
City
staff
in
terms
of
the
tree
inventory.
It's
the
first
time
I've
seen
it
I
knew
there
was
a
live
oak.
I
Of
course
it
concerns
me
that
that
live
oak
is
going
to
go
away,
but
there
was
only
one
I
appreciate
that
there's
Clarity
on
specimen,
because
all
of
that
matters
and
it's
important
for
us
to
understand
what
trees
are
going
away
and
how
beneficial
or
how
negative
their
impact
can
be
on
these
areas.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thanks
for
that,
Clarity
I
hope
that
continues
and
that's
all
thank
you.
C
Yeah
just
wanted
to
give
some
closing
comments
myself.
You
know
I
think
with
quite
a
lot
of
projects
that
have
come
before
us
and
we've
had
frustration
with
developers
not
being
very
forthcoming
about
how
they
plan
to
meet
the
inclusionary
housing.
C
Ordinance
I'm,
looking
at
commissioner
Cantrell,
because
him
and
I
in
particular,
have
been
hitting
on
that
a
lot,
and
so
thank
you
to
staff
and
the
applicant
for
I
I
know
all
the
details
aren't
worked
out
yet,
but
for
giving
us
more
information
than
we're
typically
given
when
it
comes
to
that
I
appreciate
that
and
yeah
I,
just
echoing
the
chairs
comments
and
commissioner
Rosario's
comments,
that
the
vision
for
urban
Villages
is
to
build
dense
housing
and
jobs
along
mass
transportation
lines,
and
so
it
I.
C
Also,
another
thing
I
understand
that
the
Urban
Village
plan
calls
for
closing
this
off
from
the
existing
neighborhood,
because
that's
the
preference
of
some
folks
in
that
neighborhood
I
think
that's
a
short
side
decision.
But
again
it's
in
the
Urban
Village
plan,
so
I
don't
think
we
can
take
issue
with
this
project
following
that,
I
think
the
reason
I'm
bringing
these
things
up
is.
This
is
a
lesson
we
should
take
the
next
time
and
Urban
Village
plan
comes
before
this
commission
yeah
I
think
to
give
us
some
credit
with
this
one.
C
There
were
some
much
larger
issues
at
play
when
we
saw
this
Urban
Village
plan,
particularly
regarding
the
flea
market
and
so
I
think,
details
like
this
slipped
under
a
radar,
so
I
think
just
encouraging
myself
and
all
my
colleagues
to
be
cognizant
of
that
in
the
future,
but
overall,
just
to
close
off
I
support
the
motion
I'll
be
voting.
Yes,
thank
you.
AA
Perfect.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
statement,
commissioner.
Just
quick
question
on
on
the
arbor
studies.
My
understanding
is
that
a
third
party
conducts
those
as
per
the
developer,
so
I
wonder
if
I
like
what
would
the
role
be
for
staff
in
terms
of
creating
a
benchmark
that
all
plans
that
developers
all
third
parties
that
do
analysis
they
should
list
them
out,
as
as,
as
as
my
fellow
commissioner
has
stated,
which
is
really
beneficial.
Is
that
something
that
we
can
make
policy,
or
is
that
just
something
we
can
encourage.
K
AE
Good
evening
I'm,
chair
and
members
of
the
Planning
Commission,
yes,
so
David
Keon
principal
plan
on
the
city's
environmental
review
team.
If
a
project
requires
an
initial
study
or
some
sort
of
sequa
report,
typically
to
also
prepare
an
arborist
study
as
part
of
that
that's
part
of
due
diligence
as
part
of
the
SQL
process,
and
that
report
would
include
item
eyes.
You
know,
depending
on
the
arborist,
that
does
it
they
will
do
existing
tree
survey.
They
also
have
conditions
and
tree
species.
AE
Obviously
different
arborists
will
have
different
approaches
to
how
that
information
is
presented,
but
we
are
in
the
process
of
looking
at
starting
a
process
of
updating
our
environmental
design
guidelines.
These
are
guidelines
for
environmental
Consultants
when
they
do
environmental
documents,
and
we
could
include
information
and
information
that
we
want
to
see
in
arborist
reports
when
they're
prepared
and
SQL
documents.
AE
AA
Yes,
thank
you
for
that.
I
think
I,
think
that
would
be
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
I
think
the
more
we
have
an
understanding
of
of
of
evasive,
trees
and
and
and
and
you
know,
natural
habitat
and
see
what
what
you
know,
what
we
can
do
to
balance
that
out
as
a
as
a
standard
as
a
guideline
would
be
a
huge
benefit.
So
thank
you
for
that
movement.
That's
it!
Thank
you.
B
M
AB
Yes,
a
few
items

commission
as
well.
