[Captioner] 19:09:21 AND WHEREAS, THE CITY OF FREMONT [Captioner] 19:09:23 ENJOYS A RICHNESS OF DIVERSITY [Captioner] 19:09:26 IN ITS POPULATION, EMBRACING [Captioner] 19:09:27 MANY ETHNIC AND RACIAL GROUPS AS [Captioner] 19:09:29 PART OF THE CITY'S HISTORY AND [Captioner] 19:09:31 ITS FUTURE, AND WHEREAS, BOTH [Captioner] 19:09:34 STATE AND NATIONAL OBSERVANCES [Captioner] 19:09:36 OF THIS DAY WILL FOCUS ON THE [Captioner] 19:09:38 IMPORTANCE OF INDIVIDUAL [Captioner] 19:09:41 VOLUNTEERISM AND A COMMITMENT TO [Captioner] 19:09:42 COMMUNITY SERVICE AS A WAY TO [Captioner] 19:09:44 BREAK DOWN SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC [Captioner] 19:09:46 BARRIERS AND TO BRING PEOPLE [Captioner] 19:09:46 TOGETHER TO FOCUS ON THEIR [Captioner] 19:09:47 COMMON CONCERNS AND INTERESTS.

DAY. [Captioner] 19:10:20 WITH THAT, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO [Captioner] 19:10:20 MAKE A COMMENT THAT WHY THE [Captioner] 19:10:20 KING'S PHILOSOPHY OF [Captioner] 19:10:20 NON-VIOLENCE WAS PROFOUNDLY [Captioner] 19:10:20 SHAPED BY GANDHI WHO WAS TRYING [Captioner] 19:10:20 TO FIGHT THE INDEPENDENCE IN THE [Captioner] 19:10:21 BRITISH, AND THIS PHILOSOPHY OF [Captioner] 19:10:25 NON-VIOLENCE WAS TRANSCENDED [Captioner] 19:10:26 THROUGH -- INTERNATIONALLY TO [Captioner] 19:10:28 THIS COUNTRY, AND DR. KING KEPT [Captioner] 19:10:28 TWO BOOKS ON HIS BED. [Captioner] 19:10:32 ONE WAS THE BIBLE, THE OTHER WAS [Captioner] 19:10:33 THE GANDHI READER. [Captioner] 19:10:34 AND THIS NON-VIOLENCE PHILOSOPHY [Captioner] 19:10:36 LED TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF [Captioner] 19:10:41 1964, AND THE VOTING RIGHT ACT [Captioner] 19:10:41 OF 1965. [Captioner] 19:10:42 BUT IT ALSO PAVED THE WAY FOR [Captioner] 19:10:45 THE IMMIGRATION REFORM ACT OF [Captioner] 19:10:48 1965, WHICH OPENED AMERICA TO [Captioner] 19:10:52 FAMILIES FROM NON-EUROPEAN AND [Captioner] 19:10:53 NON-CAUCASIAN COUNTRIES TO [Captioner] 19:10:54 IMMIGRATE TO AMERICA. [Captioner] 19:10:56 SO TODAY MANY FOLKS INCLUDING [Captioner] 19:10:57 MYSELF AND MANY ASIAN AMERICANS [Captioner] 19:10:59 AND MANY OTHER GROUPS OWE A DEBT [Captioner] 19:11:02 OF GRATITUDE TO THE SACRIFICES [Captioner] 19:11:03 MADE DURING THE CIVIL RIGHTS [Captioner] 19:11:03 MOVEMENT. [Captioner] 19:11:06 SO WITHOUT GANDHI, THERE MAY NOT [Captioner] 19:11:07 HAVE BEEN KING. [Captioner] 19:11:10 WITHOUT KING, WE MAY NOT HAVE [Captioner] 19:11:11 SEEN PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA. [Captioner] 19:11:16 SO AS WE REFLECT ON HIS LEGACY [Captioner] 19:11:17 LET US COMMIT TO REBUILDING THE [Captioner] 19:11:18 LEGACY DR. KING DREAMED. [Captioner] 19:11:20 WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO ASK MISS [Captioner] 19:11:25 JEAN FICKLAND TO ACCEPT THIS [Captioner] 19:11:27 PROCLAMATION AND SAY A FEW [Captioner] 19:11:27 WORDS.

[Captioner] 19:24:36 IN SUMMERS WE ACTUALLY CAN'T USE [Captioner] 19:24:38 OUR GARDENS ANYMORE BECAUSE [Captioner] 19:24:40 THERE'S ALL SORTS OF SUBSTANCE [Captioner] 19:24:41 ABUSE HAPPENING BEHIND OUR [Captioner] 19:24:41 WALLS. [Captioner] 19:24:42 PRETTY DISGUSTING. [Captioner] 19:24:46 WHEN WALKING TO ARDENWOOD PARK, [Captioner] 19:24:49 WE GET YELLED AND, INSULTED, [Captioner] 19:24:50 SOMETHING THREW SOMETHING AT ME [Captioner] 19:24:51 FROM THE ENCAMPMENT DOWN THERE. [Captioner] 19:24:53 LAST WINTER OUR HOUSE WAS ALMOST [Captioner] 19:24:57 BURNED DOWN, IT WAS ONLY BECAUSE [Captioner] 19:24:59 OF -- FOR FIREFIGHTERS THAT THAT [Captioner] 19:24:59 DIDN'T HAPPEN. [Captioner] 19:25:03 I WANT MY SON TO GROW UP KNOWING [Captioner] 19:25:05 HOMELESSNESS EXISTS, IT'S A REAL [Captioner] 19:25:06 ISSUE AND A CRISIS BUT ALSO GROW [Captioner] 19:25:10 UP KNOWING THAT IT'S [Captioner] 19:25:11 SAFE -- IN THE CITY. [Captioner] 19:25:15 SO ENCAMPMENTS ARE A DANGER TO [Captioner] 19:25:17 OUR CITY, TO OUR CHILDREN, AND [Captioner] 19:25:18 KEEP THEM AWAY FROM OUR [Captioner] 19:25:18 COMMUNITIES. [Captioner] 19:25:18 THANK YOU. [Captioner] 19:25:21 >> Ms. Gauthier: KATIE FOLLOWED [Captioner] 19:25:22 BY JUDITH. [Captioner] 19:25:22 >> HI. [Captioner] 19:25:25 WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY ACTUALLY [Captioner] 19:25:27 ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE OF [Captioner] 19:25:28 HOMELESSNESS AS ONE OF THE [Captioner] 19:25:28 CAUSES OF IT. [Captioner] 19:25:30 I'VE BEEN HERE WITH FAMILIES [Captioner] 19:25:32 FROM FREMONT IN THE PAST AND I [Captioner] 19:25:34 WILL CONTINUE TO BE HERE WITH [Captioner] 19:25:35 THEM IN THE HOPES THAT THIS IS [Captioner] 19:25:36 PUT ON THE AGENDA. [Captioner] 19:25:39 OUR ISSUE IS THAT OUR CHILDREN [Captioner] 19:25:42 HAVE SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS ON [Captioner] 19:25:43 THE SCHIZOPHRENIA SPECTRUM. [Captioner] 19:25:45 WHEN WE CALL FOR HELP TO GET [Captioner] 19:25:47 THEM INTO A HOSPITAL WHERE THEY [Captioner] 19:25:49 CAN BEGIN TO GET BETTER IN [Captioner] 19:25:51 TREATMENT AND COME BACK TO LIVE [Captioner] 19:25:54 WITH US SAFELY, WE ARE TOLD [Captioner] 19:25:56 INSTEAD TO GET A RESTRAINING [Captioner] 19:25:58 ORDER AND AT THAT POINT, THE [Captioner] 19:26:00 POLICE WILL COME TO OUR HOMES [Captioner] 19:26:02 AND FORCIBLY REMOVE THEM, [Captioner] 19:26:03 PUTTING THEM ON THE STREET. [Captioner] 19:26:07 IT MIGHT KEEP US SAFE IN THE [Captioner] 19:26:11 SHORT TERM, BUT IT IS A TRAGIC [Captioner] 19:26:13 RESPONSE TO A NEUROLOGICAL BRAIN [Captioner] 19:26:17 ILLNESS THAT NEEDS HELP, NOT TO [Captioner] 19:26:18 CONTRIBUTE TO THE GROWING [Captioner] 19:26:19 NUMBERS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE [Captioner] 19:26:20 TRAGICALLY LIVING ON THE STREET [Captioner] 19:26:23 AND FOR WHOM I HAVE GREAT [Captioner] 19:26:23 SYMPATHY FOR. [Captioner] 19:26:40 >> I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS MY [Captioner] 19:26:43 COMMENTS TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE NOT [Captioner] 19:26:44 READ THIS ORDINANCE CAREFULLY. [Captioner] 19:26:49 ITEM D ON PAGE 6, ON THE [Captioner] 19:26:52 PUBLISHED ORDINANCE, THE FINAL [Captioner] 19:26:54 SENTENCE READS, THE CITY SHALL [Captioner] 19:26:55 EXERCISE ITS DISCRETION TO [Captioner] 19:26:58 ENFORCE THE LAW AS RESOURCES [Captioner] 19:26:58 PERMIT. [Captioner] 19:27:03 THIS SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE [Captioner] 19:27:05 CONSIDERING A LAW THAT HAS NO [Captioner] 19:27:06 GUARANTEE IT WILL BE ENFORCED. [Captioner] 19:27:09 IF THE LAW CANNOT BE ENFORCED [Captioner] 19:27:12 EQUALLY, THIS WOULD MEAN UNFAIR [Captioner] 19:27:13 AND UNEVEN ENFORCEMENT. [Captioner] 19:27:16 I JOIN THE OTHERS SPEAKING [Captioner] 19:27:19 AGAINST THIS UNJUST POORLY [Captioner] 19:27:20 THOUGHT OUT AND UNWORKABLE LAW. [Captioner] 19:27:23 FREMONT HAS COME SO FAR IN [Captioner] 19:27:24 ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS. [Captioner] 19:27:27 PUNISHING THE HOMELESS WILL NOT [Captioner] 19:27:27 SOLVE THE PROBLEM. [Captioner] 19:27:32 WE CAN WORK TOGETHER FOR A [Captioner] 19:27:33 WORKABLE SOLUTION IF WE ONLY [Captioner] 19:27:34 HAVE THE WILL TO DO SO. [Captioner] 19:27:40 >> Ms. Gauthier: JOHN HINDS [Captioner] 19:27:41 FOLLOWED BY -- SORRY, SIR? [Captioner] 19:27:46 >> Mayor Salwan: MY LIBRARIAN, [Captioner] 19:27:48 COUNCILMEMBER JUDY ZLATNIK.

[Captioner] 19:28:39 THE COUNCIL WISELY VOTED NO IN [Captioner] 19:28:41 THIS RECENT RULING REAFFIRMS THE [Captioner] 19:28:41 WISDOM OF THAT. [Captioner] 19:28:45 AND THAT NO VOTE INCLUDED THE [Captioner] 19:28:46 COUNCILMEMBERS WHO WERE PRESENT [Captioner] 19:28:47 THAT NIGHT AND ARE STILL HERE. [Captioner] 19:28:49 THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:36:39 IN 2019, I BECAME AWARE THAT [Captioner] 19:36:41 FREMONT TOOK SEVERAL STEPS [Captioner] 19:36:43 TOWARDS EMPLOYING STRATEGIES [Captioner] 19:36:45 THAT HAVE PROVEN METHODS IN [Captioner] 19:36:46 GETTING THE UNHOUSED INTO [Captioner] 19:36:48 SHELTERS, HOUSING AND SAFE [Captioner] 19:36:48 PARKING. [Captioner] 19:36:51 NOW CITY COUNCIL HAS ADOPTED TWO [Captioner] 19:36:54 PARKING ORDINANCES AND NOW THIS [Captioner] 19:36:55 PROPOSED CAMPING BAN. [Captioner] 19:37:00 STRATEGIES THAT HAVE BEEN USED [Captioner] 19:37:01 UNSUCCESSFULLY FOR MANY [Captioner] 19:37:01 DECADES. [Captioner] 19:37:03 OUR CITY STAFF HAVE ESTIMATED [Captioner] 19:37:05 THIS BAN WILL COST UPWARDS OF A [Captioner] 19:37:08 MILLION DOLLARS AND CITY STAFF [Captioner] 19:37:11 AND CHIEF WASHINGTON ACKNOWLEDGE [Captioner] 19:37:13 THIS IS NOT A FIX. [Captioner] 19:37:15 THE BAN IS UNNECESSARY DUE TO [Captioner] 19:37:17 EXISTING LAWS WHICH ARE ALREADY [Captioner] 19:37:17 COVERING THESE ISSUES. [Captioner] 19:37:20 IT IS ALSO NOT COMPASSIONATE. [Captioner] 19:37:23 IT IS CRUEL AND IRRESPONSIBLE AS [Captioner] 19:37:24 IT WILL ONLY CREATE EVEN MORE [Captioner] 19:37:27 HARDSHIP FOR THE UNHOUSED, AND [Captioner] 19:37:28 WASTE TAXPAYER MONEY THAT CAN BE [Captioner] 19:37:30 USED TOWARDS GETTING PEOPLE [Captioner] 19:37:31 HOUSED AND SHELTERED.

[Captioner] 19:37:55 I'M AGAINST THE ENCAMPMENT BAN. [Captioner] 19:38:00 IT'S NOT A CRIME TO BE [Captioner] 19:38:00 HOMELESS. [Captioner] 19:38:03 CERTAINLY CRIMES ARE COMMITTED [Captioner] 19:38:08 BY HOMELESS PEOPLE, BUT WE HAVE [Captioner] 19:38:09 LAWS FOR THAT. [Captioner] 19:38:14 AND WE SHOULDN'T BE MAKING LAWS [Captioner] 19:38:16 TO CRIMINALIZE TRYING TO HELP [Captioner] 19:38:16 HOMELESS PEOPLE. [Captioner] 19:38:25 SECTION 896 MENTIONS THAT EVEN [Captioner] 19:38:25 TO AID A HOMELESS PERSON COULD [Captioner] 19:38:30 BE A MISDEMEANOR, A CRIME. [Captioner] 19:38:32 SO IT'S A BAD LAW. [Captioner] 19:38:35 IT NEEDS TO BE REDONE, SO PLEASE [Captioner] 19:38:35 VOTE NO. [Captioner] 19:38:45 >> CAMPING BANNING DON'T WORK. [Captioner] 19:38:47 THEY'RE INEFFECTIVE AND THE [Captioner] 19:38:48 SWEEPS USE TO ENFORCE THEM ARE [Captioner] 19:38:49 NOT ONLY COSTLY BUT CRUEL.

[Captioner] 19:38:57 MORALLY THEY ARE UNJUST AND [Captioner] 19:38:58 CONTRADICT OUR VALUES AS A [Captioner] 19:38:58 COMMUNITY. [Captioner] 19:39:01 IN 2016, THIS COUNCIL DECLARED [Captioner] 19:39:02 FREMONT AS A COMPASSIONATE [Captioner] 19:39:02 CITY. [Captioner] 19:39:04 FEW THINGS ARE LESS [Captioner] 19:39:06 COMPASSIONATE THAN CRIMINALIZING [Captioner] 19:39:07 PEOPLE FOR EXPERIENCING [Captioner] 19:39:07 HARDSHIP. [Captioner] 19:39:07 10 YEARS AGO AFTER MY PARTNER [Captioner] 19:39:09 AND I STARTED DATING SHE HAD TO [Captioner] 19:39:10 LEAVE HER HOME AND WAS FORCED TO [Captioner] 19:39:11 LIVE IN HER CAR FOR A MONTH. [Captioner] 19:39:13 IT WAS HUMILIATING AND A [Captioner] 19:39:14 TRAUMATIC TIME FOR HER BUT IT [Captioner] 19:39:15 WASN'T HER FAULT. [Captioner] 19:39:17 CRIMINALIZING PEOPLE LIKE HER, [Captioner] 19:39:19 OUR NEIGHBORS, FRIENDS, FAMILY [Captioner] 19:39:20 MEMBERS, FOR CIRCUMSTANCES [Captioner] 19:39:21 BEYOND THEIR CONTROL IS [Captioner] 19:39:21 INHUMANE. [Captioner] 19:39:22 THEY ARE NOT CRIMINALS. [Captioner] 19:39:25 WE NEED REAL SOLUTION, [Captioner] 19:39:26 AFFORDABLE HOUSING, MENTAL [Captioner] 19:39:27 HEALTH SERVICES, AND SUPPORT [Captioner] 19:39:27 PROGRAMS. [Captioner] 19:39:29 NOT PUNITIVE MEASURES. [Captioner] 19:39:31 FREMONT CAN DO BETTER AND IS [Captioner] 19:39:31 DOING BETTER. [Captioner] 19:39:33 THE CAMPING BAN IS NOT A PLAN. [Captioner] 19:39:34 VOTE NO ON THE CAMPING BAN. [Captioner] 19:39:41 >> THANK YOU, STEVE SCALA. [Captioner] 19:39:44 I MENTIONED PALM SPRINGS LAST [Captioner] 19:39:45 TIME WAS PASSING AN ORDINANCE [Captioner] 19:39:47 THAT'S IN LINE WITH OUR ADOPTED [Captioner] 19:39:47 HOMELESS RESPONSE PLAN. [Captioner] 19:39:49 I'LL READ PART OF THAT [Captioner] 19:39:49 ORDINANCE. [Captioner] 19:39:55 SECTION 11.4.040 UNAUTHORIZED [Captioner] 19:39:56 KRAMS OR SLEEPING ON PUBLIC [Captioner] 19:39:56 PROPERTY. [Captioner] 19:39:59 AT ALL TIMES IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR [Captioner] 19:40:02 ANY PERSON TO CAMP, MAIN TAWN AN [Captioner] 19:40:05 ENCAMPMENT OR SLEEP WHERE SUCH [Captioner] 19:40:07 ACTIVITY POSES AMONGST OTHER [Captioner] 19:40:08 THINGS DISRUPTION TO ANY [Captioner] 19:40:11 BUSINESS, STORE, RELIGIOUS [Captioner] 19:40:12 INSTITUTIONS, EDUCATIONAL [Captioner] 19:40:13 FACILITY OR GOVERNMENT [Captioner] 19:40:13 SERVICES. [Captioner] 19:40:16 PALM SPRINGS DID INCLUDE [Captioner] 19:40:18 LANGUAGE THAT CRIMINALIZES ALL [Captioner] 19:40:18 UNHOUSED PEOPLE. [Captioner] 19:40:20 WE CAN ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS THAT [Captioner] 19:40:22 ARE IMPACTING BUSINESSES AND [Captioner] 19:40:24 OTHERS WITHOUT ENSNARING [Captioner] 19:40:26 HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE INCLUDING [Captioner] 19:40:27 CHILDREN THAT ARE ACTUALLY THE [Captioner] 19:40:28 MAJORITY OF THE UNHOUSED AND ARE [Captioner] 19:40:31 NOT CAUSING ANY PROBLEMS. [Captioner] 19:40:32 FREMONT CAN DO BETTER. [Captioner] 19:40:33 WE HAVE DONE BETTER. [Captioner] 19:40:35 THE CAMPING BAN IS NOT A PLAN. [Captioner] 19:40:36 VOTE NO ON THE CAMPING BAN. [Captioner] 19:40:38 WE CAN DO BETTER THAN WHAT YOU [Captioner] 19:40:39 HAVE PROPOSED.THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:40:56 I HAVE LIVED IN FREMONT FOR 45 [Captioner] 19:40:57 YEARS AND TAUGHT HERE FOR 30 [Captioner] 19:40:57 YEARS. [Captioner] 19:41:00 I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE [Captioner] 19:41:02 NATIONAL ALLIANCE ON MENTAL [Captioner] 19:41:03 ILLNESS, ALAMEDA COUNTY. [Captioner] 19:41:05 OUR OFFICE IS NEXT DOOR. [Captioner] 19:41:07 THE PROPOSAL FOR HOMELESS [Captioner] 19:41:09 DISPLACEMENT THAT IS BEING [Captioner] 19:41:10 CONSIDERED MUST BE THROWN OUT [Captioner] 19:41:12 BECAUSE IT WON'T WORK. [Captioner] 19:41:16 WE DEPEND ON YOU AS OUR PUBLIC [Captioner] 19:41:20 SERVANTS TO MANAGE THIS PROBLEM [Captioner] 19:41:23 KEEPING ALL OF US SAFE INCLUDING [Captioner] 19:41:24 THE YOUNG WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO [Captioner] 19:41:28 ARE HOMELESS. [Captioner] 19:41:30 HOMELESSNESS MAKES THESE [Captioner] 19:41:32 CITIZENS MORE ILL. [Captioner] 19:41:34 THIS POLICY WILL PUT VULNERABLE [Captioner] 19:41:36 PEOPLE INCLUDING CHILDREN IN [Captioner] 19:41:37 HARM'S WAY AND IT WILL WASTE [Captioner] 19:41:38 PRECIOUS POLICE RESOURCES. [Captioner] 19:41:41 THERE ARE LAWS AND CITY [Captioner] 19:41:42 ORDINANCES THAT ADDRESS THESE [Captioner] 19:41:44 ISSUES ALREADY. [Captioner] 19:41:46 CHUCK THIS PROPOSAL AND IN THE [Captioner] 19:41:48 NAME OF GANDHI AND MARTIN LUTHER [Captioner] 19:41:48 KING, START OVER. [Captioner] 19:41:59 >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL. [Captioner] 19:42:01 I'M REPRESENTING FREEDOM FOR [Captioner] 19:42:01 EVERYONE. [Captioner] 19:42:03 PUBLIC SAFETY ISN'T JUST ABOUT [Captioner] 19:42:03 ENFORCEMENT. [Captioner] 19:42:05 IT'S ABOUT SOLUTIONS. [Captioner] 19:42:08 THAT'S WHY A THREE-PRONG [Captioner] 19:42:10 CRITICAL OF EXPANDING SAFE [Captioner] 19:42:11 PARKING, MOVING PEOPLE INTO [Captioner] 19:42:14 TRANSITIONAL HOUSING, BUILDING [Captioner] 19:42:16 MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR [Captioner] 19:42:17 LOWER INCOME INDIVIDUALS. [Captioner] 19:42:19 THESE STEPS DIRECTLY ADDRESS THE [Captioner] 19:42:21 ROOT CAUSES OF ENCAMPMENTS. [Captioner] 19:42:24 LET'S BE CLEAR, A CAMPING BAN [Captioner] 19:42:25 ALONE WON'T WORK UNLESS IT'S [Captioner] 19:42:30 PAIRED WITH REAL -- TO REDUCE [Captioner] 19:42:30 ENCAMPMENTS EFFECTIVELY, THE [Captioner] 19:42:31 CITY MUST COLLABORATE WITH [Captioner] 19:42:33 ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE [Captioner] 19:42:33 SUPPORTIVE SERVICES. [Captioner] 19:42:37 THESE GROUPS ARE A KEY TO [Captioner] 19:42:38 HELPING YOU. [Captioner] 19:42:40 BY INVESTING IN THESE SOLUTIONS, [Captioner] 19:42:42 WE CREATE A SAFER COMMUNITY FOR [Captioner] 19:42:44 EVERYONE WITHOUT CRIMINALIZING [Captioner] 19:42:48 THOSE WHO ARE SIMPLY TRYING TO [Captioner] 19:42:51 SURVIVE, DIGNITY OVER SHORT [Captioner] 19:42:52 TERM FICKS DON'T SOLVE THE [Captioner] 19:42:52 PROBLEM. [Captioner] 19:42:54 FREMONT CAN DO BETTER AND IT IS [Captioner] 19:42:56 ALREADY DOING BETTER, CAMPING [Captioner] 19:42:57 BAN IS NOT A PLAN. [Captioner] 19:42:59 VOTE NO ON THE CAMPING BAN.

[Captioner] 19:43:08 >> KATE HERE, RESIDENT OF [Captioner] 19:43:09 FREMONT SINCE 1995. [Captioner] 19:43:11 I HAVE HAD BOTH A RETAIL AND A [Captioner] 19:43:14 WAREHOUSE BUSINESS IN FREMONT. [Captioner] 19:43:16 OF COURSE I WANTED MY BUSINESS [Captioner] 19:43:18 ACCESSIBLE AND PRESENTABLE SO I [Captioner] 19:43:19 HEAR THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT RVs. [Captioner] 19:43:20 I FEEL IT WOULD BE THE BEST USE [Captioner] 19:43:23 OF OUR TAX DOLLARS TO FUND A [Captioner] 19:43:24 SAFE PARKING SPACE FOR RVs TO [Captioner] 19:43:25 GO. [Captioner] 19:43:26 SAFE PARKING PROGRAMS ARE THE [Captioner] 19:43:28 CITY'S HOMELESSNESS RESPONSE [Captioner] 19:43:29 PLAN HAVE NOT BEEN FULLY [Captioner] 19:43:31 IMPLEMENTED YET AND IT'S CLEARLY [Captioner] 19:43:32 OVERDUE AND DESPERATELY NEEDED. [Captioner] 19:43:37 THE POLICE NEED TO RESPOND [Captioner] 19:43:39 TO CRIME BUT DO NOT CRIMINALIZE [Captioner] 19:43:39 THE UNHOUSED. [Captioner] 19:43:41 THE CAMPING BAN IS NOT A PLAN. [Captioner] 19:43:43 VOTE NO. [Captioner] 19:43:44 THANK YOU. [Captioner] 19:43:54 >> AS A RESIDENT OF FREMONT FOR [Captioner] 19:43:56 THE PAST 30-SOME YEARS, I AM [Captioner] 19:43:57 IMPRESSED AT HOW FREMONT IS A [Captioner] 19:43:58 VERY FAMILY-FRIENDLY PLACE. [Captioner] 19:44:03 I CURRENTLY SERVE ON THE CITIZEN [Captioner] 19:44:06 ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND [Captioner] 19:44:07 FREQUENTLY VOLUNTEER WITH SAFE [Captioner] 19:44:09 PARKING PROGRAMS AMONG OTHER [Captioner] 19:44:09 THINGS. [Captioner] 19:44:12 AS I'VE SERVED IN VARIOUS CIVIC [Captioner] 19:44:13 ORGANIZATIONS, MORE RECENTLY ON [Captioner] 19:44:15 THE TRI-CITY'S INTERFAITH KOWB, [Captioner] 19:44:17 I HAVE COME TO HAVE A GREATER [Captioner] 19:44:18 APPRECIATION FOR COMPASSIONATE [Captioner] 19:44:18 FREMONT. [Captioner] 19:44:20 I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT [Captioner] 19:44:23 THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH [Captioner] 19:44:25 ITINERANT CAMPING IN [Captioner] 19:44:27 INAPPROPRIATE CLAYS BUT WE CAN [Captioner] 19:44:28 AND MUST DO BETTER WITH A [Captioner] 19:44:30 COMPASSIONATE PLAN THAT FOLLOWS [Captioner] 19:44:31 THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES FOR [Captioner] 19:44:31 ADDRESSING ENCAMPMENTS. [Captioner] 19:44:33 IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THE [Captioner] 19:44:34 POLICE DEPARTMENT CURRENTLY HAS [Captioner] 19:44:37 ALL OF THE TOOLS THAT THEY NEED [Captioner] 19:44:41 TO DEAL WITH THE BAD APPLES IN [Captioner] 19:44:43 THE CAMPERS WHO ARE DISRUPTING [Captioner] 19:44:45 BUSINESSES AND PRIVATE PROBLEMS, [Captioner] 19:44:47 THEY DESERVE MORE SEVERE [Captioner] 19:44:48 TREATMENT BUT THE MAJORITY OF [Captioner] 19:44:49 THE UNHOUSED NEED REAL [Captioner] 19:44:49 SOLUTIONS. [Captioner] 19:44:51 I URGE YOU TO REJECT THIS [Captioner] 19:44:53 BROADLY WORDED ORDINANCE AND DO [Captioner] 19:44:53 SOMETHING BETTER. [Captioner] 19:44:56 LASTLY, I'M RETIRED AND I'M [Captioner] 19:44:58 AVAILABLE TO HELP WHEREVER I [Captioner] 19:44:58 CAN. [Captioner] 19:44:58 THANK YOU. [Captioner] 19:45:14 >> 40% OF YOUTH WHO ARE UNHOUSED [Captioner] 19:45:18 ARE LGBTQ+ DUE TO PARENTS WHO [Captioner] 19:45:19 REJECTED THEM FOR HAVING THE [Captioner] 19:45:19 COURAGE TO BE THEMSELVES. [Captioner] 19:45:25 IN FREMONT, WE HAVE A [Captioner] 19:45:26 STAGGERING 307 KIDS ACCORDING [Captioner] 19:45:28 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF STUDENT [Captioner] 19:45:28 SERVICES. [Captioner] 19:45:30 AS A TRANS ADVOCATE WHO IS [Captioner] 19:45:32 UNDERHOUSED MYSELF, TO THINK [Captioner] 19:45:34 ABOUT UNHOUSED QUEER KIDS IN [Captioner] 19:45:36 FREMONT FACING EVEN MORE [Captioner] 19:45:38 DISCRIMINATION BECAUSE OF THE [Captioner] 19:45:40 INCREDIBLY VAGUE LANGUAGE IN THE [Captioner] 19:45:42 CAMPING BAN IS INFURIATING AND [Captioner] 19:45:42 IT HURTS MY HEART. [Captioner] 19:45:46 I UNDERSTAND BUSINESS OWNERS, [Captioner] 19:45:47 RESIDENTS AND CUSTOMERS ALL WANT [Captioner] 19:45:49 TO FEEL SAFE. [Captioner] 19:45:55 BUT CITY LEADERS SHOULD [Captioner] 19:45:55 PRIORITIZE THE PROTECTION OF [Captioner] 19:45:56 THOSE MOST VULNERABLE AND [Captioner] 19:45:56 DISCRIMINATED AGAINST. [Captioner] 19:45:56 VERBAL PROMISES TO KEEP THEM [Captioner] 19:45:58 SAFE DOES NOT GIVE ME PEACE OF [Captioner] 19:46:00 MIND THAT THEY ARE SAFE FROM AN [Captioner] 19:46:01 AGGRESSIVE INTERPRETATION OF THE [Captioner] 19:46:02 CAMPING BAN. [Captioner] 19:46:05 FREMONT CAN DO BETTER AND IS [Captioner] 19:46:05 DOING BETTER. [Captioner] 19:46:07 THE CAMPING BAN IS NOT A PLAN. [Captioner] 19:46:09 VOTE NO ON THE CAMPING BAN.

[Captioner] 19:46:31 LOSING ONE'S SHELTER IS A [Captioner] 19:46:33 GROWING PROBLEM FOR MANY IN OUR [Captioner] 19:46:35 COMMUNITY AS HOUSING PRICES [Captioner] 19:46:36 CONTINUE TO RISE. [Captioner] 19:46:38 CONSIDERING HOW MANY AMERICANS [Captioner] 19:46:40 ARE JUST ONE LOST PAYCHECK AWAY [Captioner] 19:46:42 FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO PAY RENT, [Captioner] 19:46:48 WE SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL HOW WE [Captioner] 19:46:48 APPROACH FOLKS FORCED TO LIVE ON [Captioner] 19:46:48 THE STREET OR IN THEIR CARS. [Captioner] 19:46:50 I HAVE MORE THAN ONE RELATIVE [Captioner] 19:46:51 WHO HAS SPENT NIGHTS IN THEIR [Captioner] 19:46:54 CAR WHEN FACING CHALLENGING LIFE [Captioner] 19:46:54 CIRCUMSTANCES. [Captioner] 19:46:56 IF THE CITIES THEY LIVED IN HAD [Captioner] 19:46:57 AN ORDINANCE LIKE THIS AND THEY [Captioner] 19:47:00 HAD BEEN ARRESTED, IT'S EASY TO [Captioner] 19:47:01 IMAGINE THEY MIGHT NOT BE THE [Captioner] 19:47:03 PEOPLE THEY ARE TODAY, MAKING [Captioner] 19:47:04 POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS IN THEIR [Captioner] 19:47:04 COMMUNITIES. [Captioner] 19:47:08 THE PASSAGE OF THIS ORDINANCE [Captioner] 19:47:09 WOULD MAKE THEM CONSIDERED [Captioner] 19:47:09 CRIMINALS. [Captioner] 19:47:11 PLEASE WORK TOWARD DR. KING'S [Captioner] 19:47:12 VISION OF A BELOVED COMMUNITY. [Captioner] 19:47:14 THE CAMPING BAN IS NOT A PLAN. [Captioner] 19:47:16 PLEASE VOTE NO ON THIS [Captioner] 19:47:16 ORDINANCE.

[Captioner] 19:48:18 I'M SURE A CAMPING BAN IN [Captioner] 19:48:18 ARKANSAS WOULD BE AND IS WILDLY [Captioner] 19:48:18 POPULAR. [Captioner] 19:48:21 BUT THERE THE FORT SMITH POLICE [Captioner] 19:48:22 CHIEF DANNY BAKER SAID THAT A [Captioner] 19:48:25 CAMPING BAN DOES NOT WORK. [Captioner] 19:48:34 THE FORT SMITH POLICE CHIEF TOLD [Captioner] 19:48:34 HIS COUNCIL IN PUBLIC THAT THE [Captioner] 19:48:34 ONLY LEGISLATION THAT ADDRESSES [Captioner] 19:48:34 THE ROOT CAUSES OF HOMELESSNESS [Captioner] 19:48:34 WILL BE THE SOLUTION. [Captioner] 19:48:35 YES, I SYMPATHIZE WITH THE [Captioner] 19:48:36 CONCERNS OF RESIDENTS INCLUDING [Captioner] 19:48:38 THOSE IN HAMPTON COURT FOR THEIR [Captioner] 19:48:42 FEARS, FRUSTRATIONS AND ANGER [Captioner] 19:48:43 ENCOUNTERING WITH SOME ON OUR [Captioner] 19:48:44 STREETS BUT THIS DOES NOT [Captioner] 19:48:46 JUSTIFY THIS CAMPING BAN WHICH [Captioner] 19:48:47 CITY STAFF HAS ALREADY SAID [Captioner] 19:48:48 WON'T REDUCE HOMELESSNESS. [Captioner] 19:48:51 WITHOUT A SHELTER ALTERNATIVE, [Captioner] 19:48:53 THIS CAMPING BAN CAN NEVER BE [Captioner] 19:48:53 COMPASSIONATE. [Captioner] 19:48:55 FREMONT CAN DO BETTER AND IT IS [Captioner] 19:48:56 ALREADY DOING BETTER. [Captioner] 19:48:59 THE CAMPING BAN IS NOT A PLAN. [Captioner] 19:49:01 VOTE NO ON THE CAMPING BAN. [Captioner] 19:49:09 >> Ms. Gauthier: RESHMA [Captioner] 19:49:10 FOLLOWED BY LISA DANCE AND [Captioner] 19:49:15 CHRISTY, THEN ANTONIO -- AND [Captioner] 19:49:16 LILY MEI BEING THE LAST [Captioner] 19:49:16 SPEAKER. [Captioner] 19:49:22 >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR SALWAN [Captioner] 19:49:22 AND COUNCILMEMBERS.

[Captioner] 19:49:33 I WAS DISMAYED TO LEARN THAT [Captioner] 19:49:38 SERVICE PROVIDERS SUCH AS ABODE [Captioner] 19:49:38 SERVICES AND BACS WERE [Captioner] 19:49:38 APPARENTLY NOT CONSIDERED PRIOR [Captioner] 19:49:39 TO DRAFTING THIS ORDINANCE. [Captioner] 19:49:42 AFTER REVIEWING THE ORDINANCE [Captioner] 19:49:45 MYSELF, I WAS GREATLY TROUBLED [Captioner] 19:49:57 BY OVERLY BROAD GENERALIZATIONS [Captioner] 19:49:57 AND BLANKET PROHIBITIONS. [Captioner] 19:49:57 THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE APPEARS [Captioner] 19:49:57 TO BE A STARK EXAMPLE NOT OF [Captioner] 19:49:57 THOUGHTFUL SENSIBLE REGULATION [Captioner] 19:49:57 BUT RATHER BLATANT GOVERNMENT [Captioner] 19:49:57 OVERREACH AND THERE ARE FEW IF [Captioner] 19:49:57 ANY GUARDRAILS. [Captioner] 19:50:01 FOR EXAMPLE, 8.9 SECTION SAYS [Captioner] 19:50:06 EVEN IN MY OWN BACKYARD, IF MY [Captioner] 19:50:06 GRANDKIDS VISIT ME AND THEY WANT [Captioner] 19:50:07 TO CAMP FOR MORE THAN THREE [Captioner] 19:50:09 DAYS, THREE NIGHTS [Captioner] 19:50:10 CONSECUTIVELY, YOU KNOW, ON THE [Captioner] 19:50:13 FOURTH NIGHT, I COULD BE FINED A [Captioner] 19:50:14 THOUSAND DOLLARS AND JAIL TIME.

[Captioner] 19:50:33 MY NAME IS ANTONIO. [Captioner] 19:50:37 -- HOMELESS BUT I AM VICTIM OF [Captioner] 19:50:40 THE VIOLENT CRIME. [Captioner] 19:50:45 THESE ARE PEOPLE -- HE [Captioner] 19:50:47 SMOKE MARIJUANA, HE TRIED TO [Captioner] 19:50:47 KILL ME LAST JULY. [Captioner] 19:50:50 I ASK THE POLICE WHY WE DID TO [Captioner] 19:50:50 ARREST THIS GUY. [Captioner] 19:50:52 HE CONTINUES TO ATTACK ANOTHER [Captioner] 19:50:52 HOMELESS. [Captioner] 19:50:57 SO IN THE PLACE -- THERE'S A LOT [Captioner] 19:50:59 OF PEOPLE TO MAKE -- VIOLENCE, [Captioner] 19:51:00 IT'S NOT REALLY HOMELESS. [Captioner] 19:51:01 IT'S PEOPLE HAVE A HOME. [Captioner] 19:51:05 WE WANT SOLUTION, NOT [Captioner] 19:51:05 PERSECUTION. [Captioner] 19:51:11 NOT EVERY HOMELESS IS CRIME [Captioner] 19:51:11 PEOPLE. [Captioner] 19:51:15 CRIME PEOPLE IS ALL AROUND. [Captioner] 19:51:16 THIS COUNTRY IS PEOPLE [Captioner] 19:51:16 EVERYWHERE. [Captioner] 19:51:20 ALL THE COUNTRIES HAVE CRIMES [Captioner] 19:51:21 AND VIOLENCE. [Captioner] 19:51:28 SO LAST [Captioner] 19:51:28 MONTH -- [Captioner] 19:51:32 >> Ms. Gauthier: THANK YOU, [Captioner] 19:51:32 SIR. [Captioner] 19:51:32 YOUR TIME IS UP. [Captioner] 19:51:37 LISA DANZ FOLLOWED BY CHRISTY [Captioner] 19:51:39 FOLLOWED BY MONICA AND THEN LILY [Captioner] 19:51:40 MEI. [Captioner] 19:51:51 YOU ARE? [Captioner] 19:51:53 >> CHRISTINE. [Captioner] 19:51:58 >> Ms. Gauthier: THANK YOU. [Captioner] 19:51:59 >> I UNDERSTAND THEIR CONCERNS [Captioner] 19:51:59 ABOUT UNHOUSED PEOPLE BEING [Captioner] 19:51:59 AROUND COMMUNITIES AND [Captioner] 19:51:59 BUSINESSES. [Captioner] 19:52:01 THESE FOLKS, IF THEY'RE [Captioner] 19:52:10 EXHIBITING ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES [Captioner] 19:52:10 CAUSING OBSTRUCTION TO [Captioner] 19:52:10 BUSINESSES, THERE ARE ALREADY [Captioner] 19:52:10 LAWS IN FREMONT TO ATTEND TO [Captioner] 19:52:10 THIS SCENARIO. [Captioner] 19:52:10 BUT IF THEY'RE MINDING THEIR OWN [Captioner] 19:52:12 BUSINESS, NOT HARMING ANYBODY, [Captioner] 19:52:14 PUSHING THEIR CART DOWN THE [Captioner] 19:52:15 STREET, WHY DOES THAT MAKE THEM [Captioner] 19:52:15 A CRIMINAL? [Captioner] 19:52:21 THE BAN WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE IT [Captioner] 19:52:22 WILL BE LIKE A WHACK A MOLE. [Captioner] 19:52:24 YOU'RE GOING TO MOVE PEOPLE, [Captioner] 19:52:26 DISPLACE PEOPLE FROM HAMPTON [Captioner] 19:52:27 PLACE TO ANOTHER COMMUNITY. [Captioner] 19:52:31 THE BAN WILL CAUSE PEOPLE TO [Captioner] 19:52:33 HAVE CRIMINAL RECORD, MAKING IT [Captioner] 19:52:34 EVEN HARDER FOR THEM TO GET INTO [Captioner] 19:52:34 SERVICES THAT THEY NEED. [Captioner] 19:52:37 THE BAN LANGUAGE IS TOO [Captioner] 19:52:37 GENERAL. [Captioner] 19:52:42 THERE ARE NO GUIDE RAILS FOR [Captioner] 19:52:42 ABUSE. [Captioner] 19:52:52 AND THE HOMELESS SERVICES AND [Captioner] 19:52:52 OUR HOMELESS RESPONSE PLAN [Captioner] 19:52:52 SHOULD BE THE PEOPLE WHO WE CALL [Captioner] 19:52:52 TO ATTEND TO NON-SAFETY-RELATED [Captioner] 19:52:53 ISSUES AND NO ILLEGAL [Captioner] 19:52:53 ACTIVITIES. [Captioner] 19:52:54 THANK YOU. [Captioner] 19:52:54 >> Ms. Gauthier: THANK YOU. [Captioner] 19:53:11 >> GOOD EVENING. [Captioner] 19:53:11 MY NAME IS MONICA.

[Captioner] 19:53:34 I SAW MANY TIMES PEOPLE THAT GO [Captioner] 19:53:37 AROUND DURING THE NIGHT AND WE [Captioner] 19:53:38 HAVE TO BE INSIDE OUR RVs [Captioner] 19:53:43 BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE [Captioner] 19:53:44 WALKING AROUND 2:00, 3:00 IN THE [Captioner] 19:53:44 MORNING HAVE GUNS. [Captioner] 19:54:08 AND WHEN I CALL THE POLICE, THEY [Captioner] 19:54:08 ASK ME FOR VIDEOS OR PHOTOS. [Captioner] 19:54:08 THEY DISMISS MY CLAIM. [Captioner] 19:54:08 LIKE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE [Captioner] 19:54:08 HAMPTON RESIDENCE, WE ALSO ARE [Captioner] 19:54:08 AFRAID OF -- IT'S NOT US.

[Captioner] 20:08:14 >> THE PROJECT BEFORE THE CITY [Captioner] 20:08:15 COUNCIL THIS EVENING IS TO [Captioner] 20:08:16 CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION FROM [Captioner] 20:08:18 THE HISTORICAL ARCHITECTURAL [Captioner] 20:08:19 REVIEW BOARD AND THE PLANNING [Captioner] 20:08:20 COMMISSION ON THE PROPOSED [Captioner] 20:08:22 ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT TO [Captioner] 20:08:24 ACCOMMODATE THE PROPOSED [Captioner] 20:08:24 HISTORIC OBJECTIVE STANDARDS. [Captioner] 20:08:27 ADOPTION OF THE OBJECTIVE [Captioner] 20:08:29 STANDARDS IS REQUIRED BY THE [Captioner] 20:08:30 STATE CERTIFIED HOUSING ELEMENT [Captioner] 20:08:32 OF THE GENERAL PLAN ADOPTED BY [Captioner] 20:08:32 THE CITY COUNCIL. [Captioner] 20:08:37 I BELIEVE THE WRONG SLIDES ARE [Captioner] 20:08:38 BEING SHOWN UNFORTUNATELY, [Captioner] 20:08:38 SORRY. [Captioner] 20:08:52 I HAVE IT UP, YES. [Captioner] 20:08:57 >> Mayor Salwan: OKAY, THAT [Captioner] 20:08:57 LOOKS RIGHT. [Captioner] 20:09:05 >> THERE WE 50. [Captioner] 20:09:07 WE GO. [Captioner] 20:09:10 THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED THE [Captioner] 20:09:14 2023 TO 2031 HOUSING ELEMENT ON [Captioner] 20:09:14 JANUARY 10TH, 2023. [Captioner] 20:09:16 THE HOUSING ELEMENT IS PART OF [Captioner] 20:09:18 THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN THAT [Captioner] 20:09:19 CONTAINS AN EIGHT-YEAR PLAN TO [Captioner] 20:09:20 MEET THE HOUSING NEEDS OF [Captioner] 20:09:21 EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY. [Captioner] 20:09:24 THE HOUSING ELEMENT PROVIDES A [Captioner] 20:09:25 BLUEPRINT FOR HOW THE CITY CAN [Captioner] 20:09:27 PROTECT THE HOUSING STABILITY OF [Captioner] 20:09:29 EXISTING RESIDENTS, PRESERVE AND [Captioner] 20:09:31 IMPROVE THE EXISTING HOUSING [Captioner] 20:09:32 STOCK, AND PRODUCE NEW HOUSING [Captioner] 20:09:33 AT ALL INCOME LEVELS. [Captioner] 20:09:37 THE HOUSING ELEMENT CONTAINS SIX [Captioner] 20:09:39 GOALS AND A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS [Captioner] 20:09:40 WHICH MUST BE ENACTED ON A [Captioner] 20:09:41 SPECIFIC SCHEDULE. [Captioner] 20:09:43 PROGRAM FOUR REQUIRES THE CITY [Captioner] 20:09:45 TO ADOPT OBJECTIVE STANDARDS FOR [Captioner] 20:09:45 HISTORIC HOMES. [Captioner] 20:09:54 THE CITY IS REQUIRED TO ADOPT [Captioner] 20:09:55 REGULATIONS TO ENACT PROGRAM [Captioner] 20:09:57 FOUR WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE [Captioner] 20:09:59 HOUSING ELEMENT'S ADOPTION IN [Captioner] 20:09:59 JANUARY 2023. [Captioner] 20:10:02 PROGRAM FOUR IS MEANT TO [Captioner] 20:10:03 STREAMLINE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT [Captioner] 20:10:05 BY PROVIDING OBJECTIVE STANDARDS [Captioner] 20:10:07 FOR QUALIFYING PROJECTS ON SITES [Captioner] 20:10:08 THAT CONTAIN A POTENTIAL [Captioner] 20:10:08 HISTORIC HOME. [Captioner] 20:10:13 IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, THE STATE [Captioner] 20:10:14 OF CALIFORNIA HAS PASSED [Captioner] 20:10:17 NUMEROUS LAWS RELATED TO HOUSING [Captioner] 20:10:19 ELEMENT TO ADDRESS THE HOUSING [Captioner] 20:10:19 CRISIS. [Captioner] 20:10:21 THE STATE'S RECENT HOUSING [Captioner] 20:10:23 LEGISLATION INCLUDES LAWS TO [Captioner] 20:10:25 ALLOW STATE REVIEW OF ACTIONS BY [Captioner] 20:10:26 LOCAL JURISDICTIONS FOR [Captioner] 20:10:27 CONSISTENCY WITH THEIR HOUSING [Captioner] 20:10:28 ELEMENT AND STATE LAW. [Captioner] 20:10:31 REQUIREMENTS FOR LOCAL [Captioner] 20:10:32 JURISDICTIONS TO MAINTAIN [Captioner] 20:10:33 ADEQUATE SITES TO ACCOMMODATE [Captioner] 20:10:36 THE REMAINING REGIONAL HOUSING [Captioner] 20:10:38 NEEDS ALLOCATION, A STREAMLINED [Captioner] 20:10:39 MINISTERIAL APPROVAL PROCESS, [Captioner] 20:10:41 AND A PROHIBITION ON LOCAL [Captioner] 20:10:44 JURISDICTIONS FROM IMPOSING OR [Captioner] 20:10:45 ENFORCING NEW DESIGN STANDARDS [Captioner] 20:10:47 ON HOUSING PROJECTS THAT ARE NOT [Captioner] 20:10:47 OBJECTIVE. [Captioner] 20:10:49 AS WELL AS LIMITS ON THE NUMBER [Captioner] 20:10:52 OF HEARINGS FOR A HOUSING [Captioner] 20:10:53 PROJECT, AND KEEPING HOUSING [Captioner] 20:10:55 GOALS NO MORE DIFFICULT THAN [Captioner] 20:10:56 THOSE IN EFFECT IN 2018. [Captioner] 20:11:04 IF THE CITY FAILS TO IMPLEMENT [Captioner] 20:11:06 ANY OF THE PROGRAMS IN THE [Captioner] 20:11:08 ADOPTED HOUSING ELEMENT BY THE [Captioner] 20:11:10 DEADLINES PRESCRIBED OR [Captioner] 20:11:11 OTHERWISE IS FOUND IT VIOLATES [Captioner] 20:11:12 STATEHOUSING LAW, IT CAN BE [Captioner] 20:11:13 SUBJECT TO PENALTIES. [Captioner] 20:11:15 THESE PENALTIES INCLUDE [Captioner] 20:11:16 LITIGATION FROM THE STATE [Captioner] 20:11:19 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, LOSS OF [Captioner] 20:11:20 LOCAL PERMITTING AUTHORITY, [Captioner] 20:11:23 FINANCIAL PENALTIES UP TO [Captioner] 20:11:25 $50,000 PER MONTH, OR COURT [Captioner] 20:11:26 RECEIVERSHIP OF THE HOUSING [Captioner] 20:11:26 ELEMENT PROCESS. [Captioner] 20:11:29 FURTHERMORE, THE STATE HAS [Captioner] 20:11:31 CREATED A NEW HOUSING [Captioner] 20:11:32 ACCOUNTABILITY UNIT THAT IS [Captioner] 20:11:34 TASKED WITH ENFORCING HOUSING [Captioner] 20:11:35 ELEMENT LAW THROUGHOUT THE [Captioner] 20:11:35 PLANNING PERIOD. [Captioner] 20:11:38 THE UNIT INTENDS TO REVIEW LOCAL [Captioner] 20:11:39 GOVERNMENT ACTIONS OR FAILURES [Captioner] 20:11:41 TO ACT THAT IT DEEMS [Captioner] 20:11:42 INCONSISTENT WITH THE ADOPTED [Captioner] 20:11:43 HOUSING ELEMENT OR STATE LAW. [Captioner] 20:11:46 THE STATE HAS THE POWER TO [Captioner] 20:11:49 REVOKE HOUSING ELEMENT [Captioner] 20:11:50 COMPLIANCE AT ANY TIME IF IT [Captioner] 20:11:51 FEELS THAT A JURISDICTION'S [Captioner] 20:11:53 ACTIONS ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH [Captioner] 20:11:53 STATE LAW. [Captioner] 20:11:59 THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO [Captioner] 20:12:04 FREMONT MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION [Captioner] 20:12:06 18.175.250 EXPEDITED REVIEW OF [Captioner] 20:12:08 MINOR ALTERATIONS TO REGISTER OR [Captioner] 20:12:09 POTENTIAL REGISTER RESOURCES [Captioner] 20:12:11 WOULD ALLOW CITY STAFF TO [Captioner] 20:12:12 IMPLEMENT THE OBJECTIVE [Captioner] 20:12:13 STANDARDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH [Captioner] 20:12:14 PROGRAM FOUR AND STATE LAW. [Captioner] 20:12:17 THE PROPOSED OBJECTIVE STANDARDS [Captioner] 20:12:19 ARE INTENDED TO PROVIDE A MORE [Captioner] 20:12:21 STREAMLINED REVIEW PROCESS FOR [Captioner] 20:12:22 PROJECTS AT SINGLE AND [Captioner] 20:12:23 TWO-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL [Captioner] 20:12:24 PROPERTIES THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR [Captioner] 20:12:25 THE HISTORIC REGISTER. [Captioner] 20:12:27 THE OBJECTIVE STANDARDS WOULD [Captioner] 20:12:29 NOT APPLY TO SITES ACTUALLY ON [Captioner] 20:12:31 THE HISTORIC REGISTER, NOR WOULD [Captioner] 20:12:34 THEY APPLY TO PROJECTS INVOLVING [Captioner] 20:12:36 DEMOLITION OR TO EXISTING [Captioner] 20:12:37 AGRICULTURAL STRUCTURES. [Captioner] 20:12:42 IF A PROJECT DOES NOT CONFORM TO [Captioner] 20:12:44 THE OBJECTIVE STANDARDS OR IF A [Captioner] 20:12:45 PROJECT IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO [Captioner] 20:12:47 UTILIZE THE OBJECTIVE STANDARDS, [Captioner] 20:12:49 THEN A NORMAL DISCRETIONARY [Captioner] 20:12:50 REVIEW PROCESS THROUGH THE HARB [Captioner] 20:12:51 WOULD BE AVAILABLE. [Captioner] 20:12:54 HARB REVIEW WOULD STILL BE [Captioner] 20:12:56 REQUIRED FOR PROJECTS RELATED TO [Captioner] 20:12:58 REGISTER RESOURCES, MULTIFAMILY [Captioner] 20:12:59 DEVELOPMENT, NON-RESIDENTIAL [Captioner] 20:13:00 PROJECTS AND DEMOLITION. [Captioner] 20:13:04 NOW THE CITY'S CONSULTANTS FROM [Captioner] 20:13:06 PAGE AND TURNBULL AND GOOD [Captioner] 20:13:07 COMPANY WILL GIVE A PRESENTATION [Captioner] 20:13:08 ON THE NEW OBJECTIVE STANDARDS. [Captioner] 20:13:18 >> HELLO. [Captioner] 20:13:20 THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO [Captioner] 20:13:21 HEAR OUR PRESENTATION TONIGHT. [Captioner] 20:13:23 I'M GOING TO TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT [Captioner] 20:13:24 THE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS, [Captioner] 20:13:26 GOALS AND PROCESSES AND HOW WE [Captioner] 20:13:27 WORKED WITH THE CITY OF FREMONT [Captioner] 20:13:27 TO DEVELOP THESE. [Captioner] 20:13:32 AS JAMES SAID, THE GOAL OF THESE [Captioner] 20:13:34 OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARD IS TO [Captioner] 20:13:36 PROVIDE AN OBJECTIVE, [Captioner] 20:13:37 PREDICTABLE PROCESS WHICH AIMS [Captioner] 20:13:41 TO GUIDE PROJECTS AT QUALIFYING [Captioner] 20:13:42 RESOURCES WHICH ARE [Captioner] 20:13:44 SINGLE-FAMILY AND DUPLEX [Captioner] 20:13:47 RESOURCES THAT ARE NOT YET [Captioner] 20:13:48 LISTED AT THE LOCAL, STATE OR [Captioner] 20:13:50 FEDERAL LEVEL, BUT HAVE BEEN [Captioner] 20:13:51 FOUND ELIGIBLE FOR LISTING AT [Captioner] 20:13:53 THE LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL [Captioner] 20:13:53 LEVEL. [Captioner] 20:13:57 AND THE GOAL IS TO GUIDE [Captioner] 20:13:59 PROJECTS AT THOSE RESOURCES INTO [Captioner] 20:14:01 COMPLIANCE WITH WIDELY ADHERED [Captioner] 20:14:04 TO STANDARDS FOR PRESERVATION [Captioner] 20:14:05 AND REHABILITATION FOR HISTORIC [Captioner] 20:14:06 RESOURCES THAT ARE USED ACROSS [Captioner] 20:14:07 THE NATION. [Captioner] 20:14:09 TYPICALLY WE USE WHAT ARE CALLED [Captioner] 20:14:11 THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR [Captioner] 20:14:13 STANDARDS FOR THE TREATMENT OF [Captioner] 20:14:13 HISTORIC PROPERTIES. [Captioner] 20:14:18 THE IDEAL IS TO HELP A PROJECT [Captioner] 20:14:20 THAT DOES NOT GO THROUGH [Captioner] 20:14:22 DISCRETIONARY REVIEW BY HARB TO [Captioner] 20:14:26 ADHERE TO STANDARDS WHICH ENABLE [Captioner] 20:14:30 TO COMPLY WITH WIDESPREAD [Captioner] 20:14:31 PRESERVATION STANDARDS AND [Captioner] 20:14:33 THEREBY NOT IMPACT THE [Captioner] 20:14:34 ELIGIBILITY OF THE HISTORIC [Captioner] 20:14:34 RESOURCE. [Captioner] 20:14:39 FOR THE APPLICANT AND THEIR [Captioner] 20:14:41 DESIGN TEAM, THERE WOULD BE A [Captioner] 20:14:42 THREE-STEP PROCESS THAT WE HAVE [Captioner] 20:14:42 DESIGNED. [Captioner] 20:14:44 IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO TELL FROM [Captioner] 20:14:45 THIS FLOW CHART THAT WE'VE [Captioner] 20:14:45 DEVELOPED. [Captioner] 20:14:47 IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT MORE THAN [Captioner] 20:14:49 THREE STEPS, BUT REALLY THERE [Captioner] 20:14:53 ARE THREE KIND OF STAGES THAT AN [Captioner] 20:14:54 APPLICANT WILL GO THROUGH. [Captioner] 20:14:56 THE FIRST IS THAT THEY IDENTIFY [Captioner] 20:14:57 WHETHER THEIR PROPERTY IS [Captioner] 20:14:59 ELIGIBLE TO USE THE OBJECTIVE [Captioner] 20:15:00 DESIGN STANDARDS, AND AS WE [Captioner] 20:15:03 MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THIS IS [Captioner] 20:15:04 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES THAT [Captioner] 20:15:06 ARE TYPICALLY -- AND SOME [Captioner] 20:15:08 DUPLEXES THAT ARE STAYING AS [Captioner] 20:15:09 RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, OR THAT [Captioner] 20:15:12 MIGHT BE ADAPT BLI RE-USED BUT [Captioner] 20:15:13 WERE DESIGNED ORIGINALLY FOR USE [Captioner] 20:15:14 AS RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. [Captioner] 20:15:17 THERE ARE ALSO PROPERTIES THAT [Captioner] 20:15:19 HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN FOUND [Captioner] 20:15:20 ELIGIBLE BUT ARE NOT YET [Captioner] 20:15:20 LISTED. [Captioner] 20:15:22 THE SECOND STEP FOR PROPERTIES [Captioner] 20:15:24 THAT IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS [Captioner] 20:15:26 BEING ELIGIBLE OR THAT THE [Captioner] 20:15:27 APPLICANTS HAVE FOUND THAT THE [Captioner] 20:15:29 PROPERTY IS ELIGIBLE IS THAT [Captioner] 20:15:31 THEY COMPLETE AN ARCHITECTURAL [Captioner] 20:15:33 STYLE FEATURES WORKSHEET, WHICH [Captioner] 20:15:35 WE'LL GET TO ON THE NEXT SLIDE, [Captioner] 20:15:37 AND THE THIRD IS THAT THEY [Captioner] 20:15:38 COMPLETE A PROJECT TYPE [Captioner] 20:15:39 WORKSHEET OR WORKSHEETS WHICH [Captioner] 20:15:40 ARE RELEVANT TO THE TYPE OF WORK [Captioner] 20:15:41 THAT THEY ARE PROPOSING TO [Captioner] 20:15:41 COMPLETE. [Captioner] 20:15:47 IDEALLY, THIS PROCESS WILL NOT [Captioner] 20:15:50 ONLY HELP GUIDE PROJECTS OR [Captioner] 20:15:52 ENSURE PROJECTS DO NOT HARM [Captioner] 20:15:53 HISTORIC RESOURCES BUT BECAUSE [Captioner] 20:15:56 THEY WILL BE OBJECTIVE PUBLICLY [Captioner] 20:15:56 AVAILABLE STANDARDS, THEY SLU [Captioner] 20:15:59 SHOULD HELP IN THE DESIGN [Captioner] 20:16:00 PROCESS AS WELL BECAUSE [Captioner] 20:16:01 APPLICANTS WILL KNOW IN ADVANCE [Captioner] 20:16:03 WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE, WHAT [Captioner] 20:16:04 THE STANDARDS ARE THAT THEY MUST [Captioner] 20:16:05 MEET IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO GO [Captioner] 20:16:07 THROUGH THIS STREAMLINED PROCESS [Captioner] 20:16:09 WITHOUT HARB REVIEW, AND SO [Captioner] 20:16:11 THEREFORE PROJECTS CAN BE [Captioner] 20:16:12 DESIGNED IN ADVANCE TO BE ABLE [Captioner] 20:16:12 TO MEET THESE STANDARDS. [Captioner] 20:16:19 AS I MENTIONED, ONCE AN [Captioner] 20:16:21 APPLICANT DETERMINES THAT THEY [Captioner] 20:16:23 ARE ELIGIBLE TO USE THESE [Captioner] 20:16:24 OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS, THE [Captioner] 20:16:25 FIRST STEP IS TO IDENTIFY WHAT [Captioner] 20:16:27 THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE OF THEIR [Captioner] 20:16:27 PROPERTY IS. [Captioner] 20:16:31 TYPICALLY ELIGIBLE RESOURCES [Captioner] 20:16:32 WILL HAVE WHAT IS PICTURED HERE [Captioner] 20:16:34 AT THE TOP LEFT OR SOMETHING [Captioner] 20:16:34 LIKE IT. [Captioner] 20:16:38 THIS IS WHAT'S CALLED A STATE OF [Captioner] 20:16:40 CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PARKS [Captioner] 20:16:44 AND RECREATION 523 RECORD, WHICH [Captioner] 20:16:48 IS A TYPICAL TYPE OF RECORD USED [Captioner] 20:16:50 STATEWIDE TO RECORD AND [Captioner] 20:16:50 EVALUATE HISTORIC RESOURCES. [Captioner] 20:16:55 ONCE A PROPERTY IS EVALUATED AND [Captioner] 20:16:57 IDENTIFIED, ITS HISTORIC [Captioner] 20:17:00 ARCHITECTURAL STYLE SHOULD BE ON [Captioner] 20:17:01 THIS RECORD OR SIMILAR RECORDS [Captioner] 20:17:03 AT THE CITY, SO A PROPERTY OWNER [Captioner] 20:17:04 CAN CHECK WITH THE CITY TO FIND [Captioner] 20:17:06 OUT WHAT THEIR ARCHITECTURAL [Captioner] 20:17:07 STYLE ATTRIBUTED TO THEIR [Captioner] 20:17:07 BUILDING IS. [Captioner] 20:17:10 THEY CAN THEN GO THROUGH THE [Captioner] 20:17:11 SHEETS THAT WE HAVE PREPARED FOR [Captioner] 20:17:12 THE PARTICULAR ARCHITECTURAL [Captioner] 20:17:15 STYLE THAT REPRESENTS THEIR [Captioner] 20:17:18 PROPERTY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ITS [Captioner] 20:17:18 CHARACTER-DEFINING FEATURES [Captioner] 20:17:18 ARE. [Captioner] 20:17:21 WE HAVE A CHECKLIST OF TYPICAL [Captioner] 20:17:22 CHARACTER-DEFINING FEATURES FOR [Captioner] 20:17:24 THAT PARTICULAR ARCHITECTURAL [Captioner] 20:17:25 STYLE AND THE PROPERTY OWNER OR [Captioner] 20:17:26 APPLICANT CAN GO THROUGH THOSE [Captioner] 20:17:28 AND IDENTIFY WHICH THAT PROPERTY [Captioner] 20:17:28 HAS. [Captioner] 20:17:32 THEN LOOKING AT THE SECOND [Captioner] 20:17:35 SHEET, YOU CAN -- THEY CAN [Captioner] 20:17:37 IDENTIFY WHICH TYPES OF [Captioner] 20:17:39 ALTERATIONS INCLUDING ROOF FORMS [Captioner] 20:17:43 AND ROOF CLADDING MATERIALS, [Captioner] 20:17:44 EXTERIOR CLADDING OF THE [Captioner] 20:17:45 BUILDING, WHAT KIND OF SIDING, [Captioner] 20:17:46 WHAT KIND OF WINDOW TYPES, WHAT [Captioner] 20:17:48 KIND OF DOOR TYPES AND OTHER [Captioner] 20:17:50 FEATURES ARE APPROPRIATE FOR [Captioner] 20:17:52 ALTERATIONS TO THAT BUILDING IF [Captioner] 20:17:53 THEY WANT TO REPLACE SOMETHING [Captioner] 20:17:54 ON THAT BUILDING, IF THEY WANT [Captioner] 20:17:56 TO BUILD SOMETHING COMPATIBLE [Captioner] 20:17:58 WITH THAT BUILDING, WHAT ARE THE [Captioner] 20:18:00 TYPES AND MATERIALS, FEATURES [Captioner] 20:18:02 THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMPATIBLE [Captioner] 20:18:04 AND NOT DETRACT FROM THE [Captioner] 20:18:05 HISTORIC ELIGIBILITY OF THAT [Captioner] 20:18:05 RESOURCE. [Captioner] 20:18:09 AND THEN THE NEXT PAGE, A3, IS A [Captioner] 20:18:11 LIST OF FEATURES AND MATERIALS [Captioner] 20:18:14 THAT ARE PROHIBITED FOR PROJECTS [Captioner] 20:18:16 AT THAT PARTICULAR TYPE OF [Captioner] 20:18:18 BUILDING OR ARCHITECTURAL [Captioner] 20:18:18 STYLE. [Captioner] 20:18:20 SO THEY WILL GO THROUGH THE [Captioner] 20:18:22 PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING WHAT THEY [Captioner] 20:18:22 HAVE ALREADY. [Captioner] 20:18:26 AND THEN THEY WILL TAKE THE [Captioner] 20:18:28 INFORMATION FROM THOSE SHEETS TO [Captioner] 20:18:29 COMPLETE THE RELEVANT PROJECT [Captioner] 20:18:30 TYPE CHECKLISTS. [Captioner] 20:18:32 THERE ARE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF [Captioner] 20:18:35 PROJECTS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED. [Captioner] 20:18:37 WHILE AN APPLICANT WILL ONLY [Captioner] 20:18:38 COMPLETE ONE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE [Captioner] 20:18:40 SHEET, THEY WILL COMPLETE AS [Captioner] 20:18:42 MANY PROJECT-TYPE SHEETS AS ARE [Captioner] 20:18:43 RELEVANT TO THE WORK THEY'RE [Captioner] 20:18:43 DOING. [Captioner] 20:18:47 THERE'S A SHEET FOR ALTERATIONS, [Captioner] 20:18:49 WHICH IS THINGS LIKE REPAIR OF [Captioner] 20:18:51 EXISTING FEATURES OR REPLACEMENT [Captioner] 20:18:52 OF EXISTING FEATURES ON THE [Captioner] 20:18:54 BUILDING AND SMALL UPGRADES AND [Captioner] 20:18:55 ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS. [Captioner] 20:18:57 THERE'S A SHEET FOR ADDITIONS, [Captioner] 20:18:59 WHICH COULD BE A VERTICAL [Captioner] 20:19:01 ADDITION ON TOP OF A BUILDING, [Captioner] 20:19:02 HORIZONTAL ADDITION BESIDE OR [Captioner] 20:19:03 BEHIND A BUILDING. [Captioner] 20:19:08 THERE ARE NEW DETACHED ADUs [Captioner] 20:19:09 WHICH I'LL LET AARON TALK ABOUT [Captioner] 20:19:10 BRIEFLY BUT WHERE THERE'S GOING [Captioner] 20:19:11 TO BE THE CONSTRUCTION OF A [Captioner] 20:19:14 SECOND OR A THIRD RESIDENTIAL [Captioner] 20:19:17 UNIT ON THE RESIDENTIAL [Captioner] 20:19:17 PROPERTY. [Captioner] 20:19:19 AND THEN THERE IS A SHEET FOR [Captioner] 20:19:20 NEW NON-RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES. [Captioner] 20:19:22 ON EACH OF THESE SHEETS, THERE [Captioner] 20:19:24 IS A LIST OF QUESTIONS THAT THE [Captioner] 20:19:25 APPLICANT MUST ANSWER YES TO. [Captioner] 20:19:28 THINGS LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO [Captioner] 20:19:29 KEEP THE CHARACTERISTIC ROOF [Captioner] 20:19:30 FORM OF THE BUILDING. [Captioner] 20:19:31 YOU CHECK YES. [Captioner] 20:19:33 YOUR PROJECT WILL BE COMPLIANT [Captioner] 20:19:34 FOR THAT PARTICULAR STANDARD. [Captioner] 20:19:39 AND THE IDEA IS THE COLUMNS [Captioner] 20:19:41 OF YES, NO AND NOT APPLICABLE, [Captioner] 20:19:42 WHEN THEY HAND THIS OVER TO [Captioner] 20:19:43 PLANNING STAFF OR WHEN THIS IS [Captioner] 20:19:47 REVIEWED BY PLANNING STAFF, ALL [Captioner] 20:19:48 OF THE CHECK BOXES SHOULD BE IN [Captioner] 20:19:49 NOT APPLICABLE OR YES. [Captioner] 20:19:51 IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS A [Captioner] 20:19:52 NO, IF THEIR PROJECT DOES NOT [Captioner] 20:19:54 PROPOSE TO USE A COMPATIBLE [Captioner] 20:19:56 SIDING TYPE OR THEIR PROJECT IS [Captioner] 20:20:01 NOT PROPOSED TO BUILD A [Captioner] 20:20:01 NON-RESIDENTIAL ACCESSORY [Captioner] 20:20:02 STRUCTURE THAT IS A COMPATIBLE [Captioner] 20:20:05 SIZE WITH THE EXISTING HISTORIC [Captioner] 20:20:06 BUILDING, THEY WILL IDENTIFY [Captioner] 20:20:08 THAT THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND [Captioner] 20:20:09 EITHER NEED TO REFINE THEIR [Captioner] 20:20:11 DESIGN TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER YES [Captioner] 20:20:14 TO THAT QUESTION OR IF A PROJECT [Captioner] 20:20:16 IS NOT GOING TO MEET THESE [Captioner] 20:20:19 OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS, THE [Captioner] 20:20:20 APPLICANT HAS THE OPTION TO GO [Captioner] 20:20:21 THROUGH THE DISCRETIONARY REVIEW [Captioner] 20:20:23 PROCESS AND HAVE THEIR PROJECT [Captioner] 20:20:25 SEEN BY HARB. [Captioner] 20:20:27 WITH A LITTLE MORE DISCUSSION OF [Captioner] 20:20:29 THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ADUs, I'M [Captioner] 20:20:30 GOING TO PASS IT OVER TO AARON. [Captioner] 20:20:32 >> THANK YOU, STACY, AND GOOD [Captioner] 20:20:33 EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR, VICE [Captioner] 20:20:35 MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. [Captioner] 20:20:38 I'M WITH GOOD CITY COMPANY AND [Captioner] 20:20:41 MY SLIDE FOCUSES ON DETACHED [Captioner] 20:20:43 STRUCTURES, BOTH ACCESSORY [Captioner] 20:20:44 DWELLING UNITS AS WELL AS [Captioner] 20:20:45 ATTACHED GARAGES AND THINGS LIKE [Captioner] 20:20:45 THAT. [Captioner] 20:20:47 THE REASON THAT THERE'S TWO [Captioner] 20:20:49 COLUMNS OF REGULATIONS HERE AND [Captioner] 20:20:50 NOT JUST ONE IS THERE ARE A LOT [Captioner] 20:20:52 OF STATE LAWS THAT LIMIT THE [Captioner] 20:20:53 CITY'S ABILITIES TO PUT [Captioner] 20:20:54 REGULATIONS ON ACCESSORY [Captioner] 20:20:55 DWELLING UNITS AND WE WANTED TO [Captioner] 20:20:56 MAKE SURE THAT THIS WAS [Captioner] 20:20:57 COMPLIANT WITH STATE LAW. [Captioner] 20:21:00 SO IN TERMS OF WHEN YOU WERE TO [Captioner] 20:21:03 BUILD A NEW STRUCTURE, IF IT AN [Captioner] 20:21:04 ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT, THE [Captioner] 20:21:07 OVERALL KEY FOAL AND THEME FOR [Captioner] 20:21:09 BOTH OF THESE COLUMNS AND [Captioner] 20:21:10 REGULATION STHAS THE EXISTING [Captioner] 20:21:11 STRUCTURE, THE HISTORIC [Captioner] 20:21:13 STRUCTURE BE THE MOST PROMINENT [Captioner] 20:21:15 STRUCTURE AND THE NEW ONE BE [Captioner] 20:21:15 LESS PROMINENT. [Captioner] 20:21:17 SO IN TERMS OF FRONT SETBACKS, [Captioner] 20:21:19 THE NEW ADU WOULD HAVE TO BE SET [Captioner] 20:21:20 BACK ABOUT 10 FEET FROM THE [Captioner] 20:21:23 FRONT FACADE OF THE EXISTING [Captioner] 20:21:23 BUILDING. [Captioner] 20:21:25 AND IF IT'S TALLER THAN THE [Captioner] 20:21:27 EXISTING BUILDING, IT HAS TO BE [Captioner] 20:21:27 SET BACK 15 FEET. [Captioner] 20:21:29 IT HAS TO BE SET BACK AT LEAST [Captioner] 20:21:31 10 FEET FROM EVERY POINT OF THE [Captioner] 20:21:32 EXISTING RESOURCE. [Captioner] 20:21:35 SIDE AND FRONT REAR SETBACKS ARE [Captioner] 20:21:38 SET FORTH IN STATE LAW THAT'S 4 [Captioner] 20:21:38 FEET. [Captioner] 20:21:40 HEIGHT IS ALSO SET FORTH IN [Captioner] 20:21:42 STATE LAW, 16-FOOT MAXIMUM FOR [Captioner] 20:21:43 ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS. [Captioner] 20:21:45 YOU GO ANOTHER 2 FEET FOR ROOF [Captioner] 20:21:47 PITCHES TO MATCH THE EXISTING [Captioner] 20:21:48 AND IF YOU'RE NEAR TRANSIT, YOU [Captioner] 20:21:50 COULD GO ANOTHER 2 FEET, SO [Captioner] 20:21:51 SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 16 AND 20 FEET [Captioner] 20:21:52 MAXIMUM HEIGHT. [Captioner] 20:21:54 AND SIZE RELATIVE TO THE MAIN [Captioner] 20:21:54 STRUCTURE. [Captioner] 20:21:57 THE MAXIMUM ADU IS 1200 SQUARE [Captioner] 20:21:57 FEET. [Captioner] 20:22:00 IT ALSO CAN'T BE MORE THAN 80% [Captioner] 20:22:03 THE EXISTING STRUCTURE'S FLOOR [Captioner] 20:22:03 AREA. [Captioner] 20:22:06 BUT IN ALL CASES IT COULD BE 850 [Captioner] 20:22:09 SQUARE FEET BECAUSE THAT'S THE [Captioner] 20:22:10 MAX -- THE MINIMUM IN STATE [Captioner] 20:22:10 LAW. [Captioner] 20:22:14 IN TERMS OF OTHER TYPES OF [Captioner] 20:22:16 DETACHED STRUCTURE, GARAGES FOR [Captioner] 20:22:18 EXAMPLE, IT HAS TO BE AT LEAST [Captioner] 20:22:19 10 FEET BEHIND THE FRONT [Captioner] 20:22:19 FACADE. [Captioner] 20:22:21 THERE'S NO -- IT DOESN'T HAVE TO [Captioner] 20:22:22 GO BACK FURTHER BECAUSE THE [Captioner] 20:22:24 BUILDING CANNOT BE TALLER THAN [Captioner] 20:22:24 THE EXISTING BUILDING. [Captioner] 20:22:28 SEPARATION, 6 FEET, AND IT [Captioner] 20:22:30 CANNOT BE GREATER THAN 70% BOTH [Captioner] 20:22:32 THE FOOTPRINT AND THE FLOOR AREA [Captioner] 20:22:34 OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE. [Captioner] 20:22:37 SO THAT CONCLUDES OUR [Captioner] 20:22:38 PRESENTATION BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO [Captioner] 20:22:39 ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY [Captioner] 20:22:39 HAVE. [Captioner] 20:22:44 >> Mayor Salwan: THANK YOU FOR [Captioner] 20:22:47 THE PRESENTATION. [Captioner] 20:22:50 ANY QUESTIONS FROM [Captioner] 20:22:50 COUNCILMEMBERS? [Captioner] 20:22:50 COUNCILMEMBER SHAO. [Captioner] 20:22:51 >> Councilmember Shao: THANK [Captioner] 20:22:51 YOU, MR. MAYOR. [Captioner] 20:22:56 MY QUESTION IS, FIRST OF ALL, [Captioner] 20:23:12 THIS PRESENTATION SUGGESTS AT [Captioner] 20:23:12 HIGH LEVEL OVERREGULATION BY THE [Captioner] 20:23:12 STATE OR UNDERREGULATION BY THE [Captioner] 20:23:12 STATE FOR THE WHOLE CITY [Captioner] 20:23:12 APPLICATION APPROVAL PROCESS? [Captioner] 20:23:17 >> THE STATE HAS PASSED MANY [Captioner] 20:23:19 LAWS RECENTLY REGARDING HOUSING, [Captioner] 20:23:21 AND REQUIREMENTS FOR OBJECTIVE [Captioner] 20:23:21 STANDARDS. [Captioner] 20:23:24 ALSO LAWS RELATED TO HOUSING [Captioner] 20:23:24 ELEMENTS. [Captioner] 20:23:27 THE CITY'S APPROVED HOUSING [Captioner] 20:23:30 ELEMENT THAT'S BEEN ADOPTED BY [Captioner] 20:23:33 THE STATE DOES REQUIRE US TO [Captioner] 20:23:35 IMPLEMENT OBJECTIVE STANDARDS [Captioner] 20:23:37 FOR HISTORIC PROPERTIES. [Captioner] 20:23:39 CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO OBJECTIVE [Captioner] 20:23:41 STANDARDS, SO THERE'S SOME [Captioner] 20:23:43 VARIANCES -- OR NOT VARIANCES [Captioner] 20:23:44 BUT THERE'S SOME DIFFERENCES IN [Captioner] 20:23:46 HOW THINGS CAN BE REVIEWED. [Captioner] 20:23:49 THERE'S ALSO A NON-MINISTERIAL [Captioner] 20:23:50 PROCESS WHERE HARB REVIEW IS [Captioner] 20:23:51 REQUIRED FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT [Captioner] 20:23:51 PROJECTS. [Captioner] 20:23:57 THIS WILL IMPLEMENT THE REQUIRED [Captioner] 20:24:00 OBJECTIVE STANDARDS AS THE STATE [Captioner] 20:24:02 REQUIRES FOR ALL RESIDENTIAL [Captioner] 20:24:02 PROJECTS. [Captioner] 20:24:06 >> Councilmember Shao: A [Captioner] 20:24:06 FOLLOW-UP QUESTION. [Captioner] 20:24:09 SO FOR A LOT OF HOMEOWNERS, IT'S [Captioner] 20:24:10 PROBABLY LIKE ONCE IN A LIFETIME [Captioner] 20:24:13 THING FOR THEM TO DO ALL THOSE [Captioner] 20:24:16 EXPANSIONS OR ADUs, AND YOU [Captioner] 20:24:20 KNOW, FOR THE COMPLEXITY OF ALL [Captioner] 20:24:23 THOSE FORMS AND WORKSHEETS. [Captioner] 20:24:26 CAN THEY DO ALL THE MATERIALS [Captioner] 20:24:28 THEMSELVES OR DO THEY HAVE TO [Captioner] 20:24:30 HIRE SOMEONE LIKE THE CALIBER OF [Captioner] 20:24:32 ALL THOSE CONSULTANTS TO REALLY [Captioner] 20:24:33 GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS? [Captioner] 20:24:37 >> TYPICALLY, A HOMEOWNER [Captioner] 20:24:38 DOESN'T DRAW THEIR OWN PLANS. [Captioner] 20:24:40 THEY WOULD HIRE SOMEONE, USUALLY [Captioner] 20:24:42 A RESIDENTIAL DESIGNER, TO [Captioner] 20:24:43 ASSIST THEM IN PREPARING THE [Captioner] 20:24:43 PLANS. [Captioner] 20:24:48 THESE CHECKLISTS ARE IN A LEVEL [Captioner] 20:24:49 THAT A RESIDENTIAL DESIGNER [Captioner] 20:24:52 SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY [Captioner] 20:24:52 COMPLETE. [Captioner] 20:24:55 YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO HIRE A [Captioner] 20:24:56 LICENSED ARCHITECT, ALTHOUGH IN [Captioner] 20:24:57 SOME CASES, SOME PEOPLE DO. [Captioner] 20:24:59 THEY DO END UP COSTING MORE, BUT [Captioner] 20:25:01 A RESIDENTIAL DESIGNER WHICH IS [Captioner] 20:25:03 COMMONLY THE PERSON DESIGNING [Captioner] 20:25:05 THE BUILDING WOULD BE ABLE TO [Captioner] 20:25:06 PREPARE THESE DOCUMENTS FOR THE [Captioner] 20:25:06 HOMEOWNER. [Captioner] 20:25:09 >> Councilmember Shao: OKAY. [Captioner] 20:25:09 THANK YOU. [Captioner] 20:25:12 >> Mayor Salwan: I SEE MR. PULL [Captioner] 20:25:12 ENJOINED US. [Captioner] 20:25:15 NEXT IS COUNCILMEMBER CAMPBELL. [Captioner] 20:25:22 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: I JUST [Captioner] 20:25:23 HAVE A REALLY QUICK QUESTION. [Captioner] 20:25:29 HOW ARE YOU DEFINING REGISTER [Captioner] 20:25:29 RESOURCES? [Captioner] 20:25:30 WHAT ARE THOSE? [Captioner] 20:25:34 >> SO THE CITY HAS A REGISTER OF [Captioner] 20:25:35 HISTORIC RESOURCES THROUGHOUT [Captioner] 20:25:38 THE CITY. [Captioner] 20:25:39 SOME ARE HOMES, SOME ARE [Captioner] 20:25:40 COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. [Captioner] 20:25:43 THERE'S EVEN AN INDUSTRIAL [Captioner] 20:25:44 BUILDING, SOME AGRICULTURAL [Captioner] 20:25:44 BUILDINGS. [Captioner] 20:25:46 STRUCTURES THAT ARE ACTUALLY ON [Captioner] 20:25:48 THE HISTORIC REGISTER ARE [Captioner] 20:25:49 REGISTER RESOURCES. [Captioner] 20:25:53 THE CITY HAS A SEPARATE PROCESS [Captioner] 20:25:56 TO EVALUATE ANY STRUCTURE OVER [Captioner] 20:25:58 50 YEARS OLD, AND IF IT IS FOUND [Captioner] 20:26:00 TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE HISTORIC [Captioner] 20:26:02 REGISTER, THEN IT IS MARKED AS [Captioner] 20:26:04 ELIGIBLE AND IS PROTECTED UNDER [Captioner] 20:26:05 THE CITY'S ORDINANCE AS IF IT [Captioner] 20:26:07 WERE ON THE REGISTER BUT IT IS [Captioner] 20:26:08 NOT ACTUALLY ON THE REGISTER. [Captioner] 20:26:12 USUALLY A REGISTER RESOURCE IS A [Captioner] 20:26:14 VERY IMPORTANT STRUCTURE TO THE [Captioner] 20:26:15 HISTORY OF FREMONT WHEREAS ONE [Captioner] 20:26:17 THAT IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE [Captioner] 20:26:19 REGISTER MAY NOT BE AS IMPORTANT [Captioner] 20:26:21 BUT IT IS STILL IMPORTANT TO THE [Captioner] 20:26:21 HISTORY OF FREMONT. [Captioner] 20:26:25 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: OKAY, [Captioner] 20:26:26 THANK YOU FOR THAT EXPLANATION. [Captioner] 20:26:28 WE DID HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT AND [Captioner] 20:26:32 I'M CURIOUS ALSO ABOUT THIS, IN [Captioner] 20:26:36 TERMS OF MAINTAINING THE [Captioner] 20:26:38 HISTORICAL LOOK AND FEEL OF A [Captioner] 20:26:39 COMMUNITY. [Captioner] 20:26:42 LIKE YOU WOULDN'T PUT A 10-STORY [Captioner] 20:26:45 -- WELL, WE CAN'T GO THAT HIGH [Captioner] 20:26:47 ANYWAY, BUT WE WOULDN'T PUT A [Captioner] 20:26:47 SIX-STORY BUILDING IN A [Captioner] 20:26:48 NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WAS FILLED [Captioner] 20:26:50 WITH RAMBLERS, FOR EXAMPLE, OR, [Captioner] 20:26:53 YOU KNOW, NON-TOWNHOUSES OR [Captioner] 20:26:53 SOMETHING LIKE THAT. [Captioner] 20:26:58 AND THE EXAMPLE THAT THEY GAVE [Captioner] 20:27:00 WAS THE ONE ON OSGOOD THAT'S [Captioner] 20:27:04 RIGHT SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE [Captioner] 20:27:06 OF -- NOT TOO FAR FROM THE [Captioner] 20:27:09 BART, THEY BUILT THOSE BUILDINGS [Captioner] 20:27:13 THAT ARE VERY, VERY HIGH, WHERE [Captioner] 20:27:15 PEOPLE -- IT DOESN'T FIT THE [Captioner] 20:27:15 COMMUNITY. [Captioner] 20:27:19 IS THAT CONSIDERED A HISTORICAL [Captioner] 20:27:24 REGISTER TYPE OR DOES IT HAVE [Captioner] 20:27:26 TO BE AN ACTUAL BUILDING AND NOT [Captioner] 20:27:26 A COMMUNITY? [Captioner] 20:27:28 >> A REGISTER RESOURCE IS [Captioner] 20:27:31 USUALLY AN INDIVIDUAL BUILDING. [Captioner] 20:27:34 THE EXAMPLE GIVEN IN THE PUBLIC [Captioner] 20:27:35 COMMENT WAS RELATED TO [Captioner] 20:27:37 MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT THAT'S [Captioner] 20:27:38 GOING ON ON OSGOOD. [Captioner] 20:27:40 THESE OBJECTIVE STANDARDS WOULD [Captioner] 20:27:42 NOT APPLY TO MULTIFAMILY [Captioner] 20:27:43 DEVELOPMENT AND WOULD NOT ALLOW [Captioner] 20:27:45 A LARGE MULTIFAMILY BUILDING [Captioner] 20:27:46 THROUGH THIS PROCESS. [Captioner] 20:27:49 THIS PROCESS IS MEANT FOR [Captioner] 20:27:51 HOMEOWNERS WHO WANT TO ADD AN [Captioner] 20:27:52 ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT OR A [Captioner] 20:27:55 SMALL ADDITION OR DO SOME OTHER [Captioner] 20:27:56 EXTERIOR WORK TO A HOME THAT IS [Captioner] 20:27:58 ELIGIBLE FOR THE HISTORIC [Captioner] 20:27:59 REGISTER, BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW [Captioner] 20:28:02 SOMEONE TO BUILD A LARGE [Captioner] 20:28:03 MULTIFAMILY STRUCTURE ON ONE OF [Captioner] 20:28:04 THESE LOTS THROUGH THIS [Captioner] 20:28:04 PROCESS. [Captioner] 20:28:05 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: OKAY, [Captioner] 20:28:07 THANK YOU FOR THAT, BUT HOW IS [Captioner] 20:28:11 IT DETERMINED THAT YOU CAN BUILD [Captioner] 20:28:14 A LARGE MULTIFAMILY STRUCTURE IN [Captioner] 20:28:15 A COMMUNITY WHERE IT DOESN'T [Captioner] 20:28:16 REALLY FIT? [Captioner] 20:28:19 >> THERE ARE VARIOUS DIFFERENT [Captioner] 20:28:20 WAYS AND IT KIND OF DEPENDS ON [Captioner] 20:28:21 CONTEXT. [Captioner] 20:28:24 FOR EXAMPLE, IF IT IS SOMETHING [Captioner] 20:28:25 THAT IS HISTORIC AND SOMEONE [Captioner] 20:28:27 WANTS TO BUILD A MULTIFAMILY [Captioner] 20:28:29 DEVELOPMENT ON THE SITE, THERE [Captioner] 20:28:31 WOULD BE A PROCESS GOING THROUGH [Captioner] 20:28:32 THE HISTORIC ARCHITECTURAL [Captioner] 20:28:34 REVIEW BOARD, AND THEN DEPENDING [Captioner] 20:28:35 ON THE SCOPE OF WORK, IT WOULD [Captioner] 20:28:37 EITHER GO TO THE ZONING [Captioner] 20:28:38 ADMINISTRATOR OR TO THE PLANNING [Captioner] 20:28:39 COMMISSION AND POSSIBLY EVEN [Captioner] 20:28:39 CITY COUNCIL. [Captioner] 20:28:44 >> LET ME ADD TO THAT A LITTLE [Captioner] 20:28:45 BIT, I THINK THERE'S ONE STEP [Captioner] 20:28:47 BEFORE THAT THAT WE'RE NOT [Captioner] 20:28:49 TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE WE'RE [Captioner] 20:28:50 FOCUSED ON THE HISTORIC PART [Captioner] 20:28:51 RIGHT HERE BUT THE ZONING AND [Captioner] 20:28:53 GENERAL PLAN ARE THE BASIS FOR [Captioner] 20:28:53 THAT INTENSITY. [Captioner] 20:28:56 SO FOR EXAMPLE, OSGOOD ROAD HAS [Captioner] 20:28:58 SOME INTENSITY THAT'S BEEN [Captioner] 20:29:00 PLANNED BECAUSE OF THE FUTURE [Captioner] 20:29:02 IRVINGTON BART STATION SO THAT [Captioner] 20:29:04 DENSITY HAS BEEN SET THERE, IT'S [Captioner] 20:29:06 CALLED AN URBAN RESIDENTIAL [Captioner] 20:29:07 DENSITY, AND THAT FORMS THE [Captioner] 20:29:10 BASIS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT TYPE [Captioner] 20:29:12 THAT'S GOING TO GO IN DIFFERENT [Captioner] 20:29:13 AREAS OF TOWN, WHICH ARE [Captioner] 20:29:15 GENERALLY STEPPED UP NEAR BART [Captioner] 20:29:16 STATIONS WHEN IT RELATES TO [Captioner] 20:29:18 HOUSING DENSITY OR ALONG FREMONT [Captioner] 20:29:20 BOULEVARD OR IN OUR TOWN [Captioner] 20:29:25 CENTERS, AND THEN THEY GRADUATE [Captioner] 20:29:27 DOWN FROM MORE TRADITIONAL [Captioner] 20:29:27 SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS, FOR [Captioner] 20:29:27 EXAMPLE. [Captioner] 20:29:32 THAT FRAMEWORK EXISTS OUTSIDE OF [Captioner] 20:29:34 THIS HISTORIC PROCESS, AND THERE [Captioner] 20:29:36 ARE SOME STATE LAWS THAT PROVIDE [Captioner] 20:29:39 FOR ADDITIONAL INTENSITY THAT'S [Captioner] 20:29:40 UNEXPECTED SOMETIMES THROUGH A [Captioner] 20:29:41 DENSITY BONUS PROGRAM OR THINGS [Captioner] 20:29:42 LIKE THAT, SO THAT'S WHERE [Captioner] 20:29:44 SOMETIMES YOU SEE THESE -- A [Captioner] 20:29:46 LITTLE MORE SHOCKING SIZES THAT [Captioner] 20:29:48 ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF SOME [Captioner] 20:29:49 STATE LAWS THAT ALLOW THOSE [Captioner] 20:29:49 THINGS. [Captioner] 20:29:53 THIS PARTICULAR THING BEFORE YOU [Captioner] 20:29:55 TONIGHT IS REALLY FOCUSED ON [Captioner] 20:29:56 SINGLE-FAMILY AND DUPLEX. [Captioner] 20:29:59 SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT [Captioner] 20:30:01 TYPICALLY A 6,000, 8,000 OR LESS [Captioner] 20:30:03 SQUARE FOOT SINGLE-FAMILY HOME [Captioner] 20:30:05 THAT'S DOING AN ADDITION OR [Captioner] 20:30:08 ALTERATION, AND SO THERE'S A LOT [Captioner] 20:30:09 OF HISTORIC ANALYSIS THAT GOES [Captioner] 20:30:11 INTO THESE BIGGER PROJECTS, BUT [Captioner] 20:30:13 THIS ONE IS LASER-FOCUSED ON [Captioner] 20:30:16 HELPING HOMEOWNERS TO AVOID A [Captioner] 20:30:18 COSTLY AND TIME-CONSUMING [Captioner] 20:30:19 DISCRETIONARY PROCESS WHEN THEY [Captioner] 20:30:22 COULD COME AND FOLLOW SORT OF A [Captioner] 20:30:23 GUIDE, AND KNOW THEY'RE NOT [Captioner] 20:30:25 GOING TO HAVE TO DEFEND THESE [Captioner] 20:30:27 THINGS IF THEY ARE DOING WHAT'S [Captioner] 20:30:28 CLEARLY ALLOWED IN THE GUIDE. [Captioner] 20:30:29 THAT'S OUR GOAL HERE. [Captioner] 20:30:30 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: RIGHT, [Captioner] 20:30:33 TO STREAMLINE THE PROCESS TO [Captioner] 20:30:36 MOVE IT ALONG A LOT QUICKER, NOT [Captioner] 20:30:38 HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT HEARINGS [Captioner] 20:30:40 AND FEES AND FINES AND THAT KIND [Captioner] 20:30:40 OF STUFF. [Captioner] 20:30:44 BUT IT HAS TO BE FIRST [Captioner] 20:30:45 DESIGNATED AS A HISTORICAL [Captioner] 20:30:47 PROPERTY IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO [Captioner] 20:30:48 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS [Captioner] 20:30:49 STREAMLINED PROCESS. [Captioner] 20:30:49 IS THAT CORRECT? [Captioner] 20:30:54 >> WELL, IF YOU'RE NOT A [Captioner] 20:30:55 HISTORICAL PROPERTY, YOU HAVE AN [Captioner] 20:30:56 EASIER PROCESS. [Captioner] 20:30:58 YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OF THIS -- [Captioner] 20:30:59 NOBODY TALKS ABOUT HARBOR [Captioner] 20:31:00 HISTORIC OR ANYTHING. [Captioner] 20:31:01 YOU JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, I WANT [Captioner] 20:31:02 TO ADD TO MY HOUSE AND YOU [Captioner] 20:31:03 FOLLOW THE BUILDING CODES. [Captioner] 20:31:06 WHICH ARE ABOUT THE SETBACKS AND [Captioner] 20:31:09 THE HEIGHT AND THE COMPATIBILITY [Captioner] 20:31:10 WITH ALL THE ZONING STANDARDS, [Captioner] 20:31:14 AND YOU GO FORWARD AND YOU'RE [Captioner] 20:31:20 ONLY IF YOUR HOUSE IS WITHIN 50 [Captioner] 20:31:23 CAREERS OLD OR FALLS WITHIN [Captioner] 20:31:25 CERTAIN TRACKS OF LAND VERY [Captioner] 20:31:27 UNIQUE, IT FALLS WITHIN THIS [Captioner] 20:31:28 CATEGORY. [Captioner] 20:31:31 THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO BRING THAT [Captioner] 20:31:33 PARTICULAR EXAMPLE OUT OF THE [Captioner] 20:31:34 HARB DISCRETIONARY REVIEW AND [Captioner] 20:31:37 PUT IT BACK, KIND OF LIKE THOSE [Captioner] 20:31:39 OTHER HIGHWAYS THAT ARE NOT [Captioner] 20:31:40 HISTORIC WHERE THEY CAN JUST [Captioner] 20:31:41 FOLLOW THE RULES. [Captioner] 20:31:44 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: I [Captioner] 20:31:48 SEIZE, THANK YOU. [Captioner] 20:31:48 >> Councilmember Salwan: [Captioner] 20:31:49 COUNCILMEMBER ZHANG. [Captioner] 20:31:51 >> Councilmember Zhang: THANK [Captioner] 20:31:51 YOU. [Captioner] 20:31:52 CLARIFY FIEG QUESTION. [Captioner] 20:31:54 SO WHEN YOU SAY DETACHED [Captioner] 20:31:55 STRUCTURE CAN YOU GIVE ME [Captioner] 20:31:55 EXAMPLE? [Captioner] 20:32:03 >> SHED, DETACHED GARAGE, AN [Captioner] 20:32:06 ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT THAT IS [Captioner] 20:32:07 DETACHED FROM THE GARAGE, THOSE [Captioner] 20:32:08 ARE DETACHED STRUCTURES. [Captioner] 20:32:10 THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT [Captioner] 20:32:11 CATEGORIES IN THE STANDARDS. [Captioner] 20:32:14 THERE IS THE STANDARD FOR A [Captioner] 20:32:17 NON-ADU ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT [Captioner] 20:32:18 DETACHED STRUCTURE, THAT WOULD [Captioner] 20:32:20 BE YOUR SHED, THAT WOULD BE YOUR [Captioner] 20:32:21 DEATTACHED GARAGE OR GUEST [Captioner] 20:32:23 HIGHWAYS OR SOMETHING LIKE [Captioner] 20:32:23 THAT. [Captioner] 20:32:25 IF YOU ARE BUILDING ALTHOUGH [Captioner] 20:32:26 ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT THEN YOU [Captioner] 20:32:28 FOLLOW THE ACCESSORIZE DWELLING [Captioner] 20:32:30 RULES WHICH ARE A LITTLE MORE [Captioner] 20:32:32 REGULATED BY STATE LAW. [Captioner] 20:32:32 >> Councilmember Zhang: OKAY, [Captioner] 20:32:36 THANK YOU. [Captioner] 20:32:36 >> Councilmember Salwan: [Captioner] 20:32:38 COUNCILMEMBER KIMBERLIN. [Captioner] 20:32:38 >> Councilmember Kimberlin: SO [Captioner] 20:32:40 I'M CURIOUS ABOUT THE [Captioner] 20:32:40 WORKSHEETS. [Captioner] 20:32:42 THEY LOOK LIKE A GREAT TOOL TO [Captioner] 20:32:45 GET FROM POINT A TO POINT B TO [Captioner] 20:32:46 POINT C. [Captioner] 20:32:47 IS THAT SOMETHING OTHER CITIES [Captioner] 20:32:50 USE OR DID YOU DEVISE THAT? [Captioner] 20:32:52 >> WE DEVELOPED THAT IN [Captioner] 20:32:54 CONSULTATION WITH CITY STAFF [Captioner] 20:32:55 SPECIFICALLY FOR THE CITY OF [Captioner] 20:32:56 FREMONT. [Captioner] 20:32:59 WE WANT WHILE A LOT OF CITIES IN [Captioner] 20:33:01 CALIFORNIA ARE STARTING TO WORK [Captioner] 20:33:02 TO DEVELOPING OBJECTIVE DESIGN [Captioner] 20:33:04 STANDARDS THE CITY OF FREMONT IS [Captioner] 20:33:06 KIND OF EARLY IN THE PROCESS OF [Captioner] 20:33:07 REALLY DRILLING IN TO PROVIDING [Captioner] 20:33:09 A USEFUL TOOL FOR PROPERTY [Captioner] 20:33:11 OWNERS SO WE WERE ABLE TO KIND [Captioner] 20:33:14 OF DEVELOP SOMETHING THAT WAS A [Captioner] 20:33:16 LITTLE BIT LIKE WHAT PLANNING [Captioner] 20:33:18 STAFF HAD PUT TOGETHER FOR SOME [Captioner] 20:33:20 HISTORIC DISTRICTS THAT ALREADY [Captioner] 20:33:22 EXIST IN THE CITY OF FREMONT AND [Captioner] 20:33:24 WE LOOKED AT HOW THOSE WERE PUT [Captioner] 20:33:26 TOGETHER, SO THAT IT COULD BE [Captioner] 20:33:28 SOMETHING FAMILIAR ALREADY TO [Captioner] 20:33:33 CITY STAFF AND PROPERTY [Captioner] 20:33:35 OWNERS AND WORKED WITH THOSE TO [Captioner] 20:33:37 KIND OF DEVELOP SOMETHING THAT [Captioner] 20:33:38 COULD HOPEFULLY BE [Captioner] 20:33:39 STRAIGHTFORWARD AND WE RECOGNIZE [Captioner] 20:33:40 THAT THERE IS A LOT OF [Captioner] 20:33:42 COMPLEXITY LOOKING AT THEM, [Captioner] 20:33:44 THERE IS A LOT OF STEPS BUT WE [Captioner] 20:33:46 DID TRY TO MAKE THINGS, BREAK [Captioner] 20:33:49 THINGS INTO SORT OF EASILY [Captioner] 20:33:53 DIGESTIBLE STEPS, ANY BUILDING [Captioner] 20:33:54 PROFESSIONAL OR PROPERTY OWNERS [Captioner] 20:33:56 WOULD BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE THE [Captioner] 20:33:57 SYSTEM. [Captioner] 20:33:58 >> Councilmember Kimberlin: IT [Captioner] 20:33:59 LOOKS LIKE AN EFFECTIVE TOOL AND [Captioner] 20:34:01 LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE HELPFUL TO [Captioner] 20:34:03 EVERYONE SO I THINK THAT IS [Captioner] 20:34:05 ANOTHER STREAMLINING FACTOR, [Captioner] 20:34:09 APPRECIATE THAT.

WILLIS AND [Captioner] 20:36:24 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR [Captioner] 20:36:29 DONOVAN LOZARO WHO WILL PRESENT [Captioner] 20:36:30 A STAFF PRESENTATION. [Captioner] 20:37:09 >> GOOD EVENING AGAIN. [Captioner] 20:37:14 PROJECT BEFORE THE COUNCIL THIS [Captioner] 20:37:15 EVENING IS A GENERAL PLAN [Captioner] 20:37:17 AMENDMENT REZONING AND [Captioner] 20:37:18 DISCRETIONARY DESIGN REVIEW TO [Captioner] 20:37:20 ALLOW A NEW INDUSTRIAL [Captioner] 20:37:22 DEVELOPMENT AT THE CORNER OF [Captioner] 20:37:24 TREATMENT BOULEVARD AND ICE [Captioner] 20:37:24 HOUSE TERRACE. [Captioner] 20:37:31 THE PROPOSED PROJECT WOULD BE [Captioner] 20:37:35 LOCATED AT A 4.2 ACRE SITE AT [Captioner] 20:37:38 THE CORNER OF FREMONT BOULEVARD [Captioner] 20:37:42 AND ICE HOUSE TAR AS I SOUTH OF [Captioner] 20:37:45 AUTO MALL PARKWAY. [Captioner] 20:37:46 THE WAREHOUSE WAS DEMOLISHED IN [Captioner] 20:37:49 THE LATE 1990S TO MAKE WAY FOR [Captioner] 20:37:53 THE JAICH HOLM DEPOT. [Captioner] 20:37:56 THE SITE WAS VACANT SINCE 1992. [Captioner] 20:37:58 CHANGED TO REGION COMMERCIAL AS [Captioner] 20:38:01 PART OF THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE [Captioner] 20:38:03 IN 2011 AND ASSOCIATED REZONINGS [Captioner] 20:38:04 IN 2015. [Captioner] 20:38:05 THE PROJECT WAS HEARD BY THE [Captioner] 20:38:06 PLANNING COMMISSION ON DECEMBER [Captioner] 20:38:08 12th WHERE IT WAS RECOMMENDED [Captioner] 20:38:09 FOR APPROVE UNANIMOUSLY. [Captioner] 20:38:14 THE PROJECT WOULD REQUIRE A [Captioner] 20:38:16 GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FROM THE [Captioner] 20:38:18 CURRENT REGIONAL COMMERCIAL TO [Captioner] 20:38:20 THE PROPOSED TECH INDUSTRIAL [Captioner] 20:38:21 DESIGNATION. [Captioner] 20:38:26 THE PROJECT WOULD NECESSITATE [Captioner] 20:38:29 A REZONING, AN AREA THAT IS [Captioner] 20:38:30 GENERALLY SURROUNDED BY [Captioner] 20:38:32 INDUSTRIAL USES ON THREE SIDES. [Captioner] 20:38:34 THE GPA AND REZONING WOULD [Captioner] 20:38:36 CONTINUE TO ALLOW THE SITE TO [Captioner] 20:38:39 ACT AS A BIFER BETWEEN THE [Captioner] 20:38:40 RESIDENTIAL TAIBDZ TO THE NORTH [Captioner] 20:38:41 AND THE MORE INTENSE INDUSTRIAL [Captioner] 20:38:44 USES AND THE GENERAL INDUSTRIAL [Captioner] 20:38:45 DISTRICT TO THE SOUTH. [Captioner] 20:38:47 THE PROPOSED PROJECT WOULD [Captioner] 20:38:49 CONSTRUCT A NEW APPROXIMATELY [Captioner] 20:38:51 70,000 SQUARE FOOT INDUSTRIAL [Captioner] 20:38:51 BUILDING. [Captioner] 20:38:53 THE PROJECT WOULD CONFORM TO [Captioner] 20:38:55 APPLICABLE CITYWIDE DESIGN [Captioner] 20:38:56 GUIDELINES AND ZONING [Captioner] 20:38:57 REGULATIONS INCLUDING [Captioner] 20:38:59 REQUIREMENTS FOR LANDSCAPING, [Captioner] 20:39:02 HIGH QUALITY EXTERIOR MATERIALS, [Captioner] 20:39:04 SCREENING OF THE TRUCK DOCKS AND [Captioner] 20:39:07 OUTDOOR TAFLTS FOR EMPLOYEES [Captioner] 20:39:07 AMENITIES. [Captioner] 20:39:11 SITE WOULD FEATURE EXTENSIVE [Captioner] 20:39:13 LANDSCAPING INCLUDING 77 NEW [Captioner] 20:39:15 TREES THROUGHOUT THE PERIMETER [Captioner] 20:39:17 OF THE SITE AND ITS PARKING [Captioner] 20:39:17 LOT. [Captioner] 20:39:19 THE FRONTAGE OF THE SITE ALONG [Captioner] 20:39:21 TREATMENT BOULEVARD AND ALONG A [Captioner] 20:39:24 PORTION OF ICE HOUSE TERRACE [Captioner] 20:39:27 WOULD FEATURE EXTENSIVE TREES, [Captioner] 20:39:29 LANDSCAPING ALONG THE SOUTHERN [Captioner] 20:39:30 PROXIMITY OF THE SITE. [Captioner] 20:39:34 PERIMETER OF THE SITE. [Captioner] 20:39:35 SHOULD THE PROJECT BE APPROVED [Captioner] 20:39:39 BY THE CITY COUNCIL, PROPOSED [Captioner] 20:39:42 SUBJECTS OF APPROVAL, LOT LINE [Captioner] 20:39:43 TRAVELING THROUGH THE CENTER OF [Captioner] 20:39:46 THE SITE AND A VACATION OF A [Captioner] 20:39:47 PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT [Captioner] 20:39:49 TRAVELING THROUGH THE PROPOSED [Captioner] 20:39:50 BUILDING FOOTPRINT.

[Captioner] 20:40:00 THE LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT WOULD BE [Captioner] 20:40:04 SUBJECT TO THE PLANNING MANAGER, [Captioner] 20:40:06 AND VACATION THROUGH THE CITY [Captioner] 20:40:08 COUNCIL BY A SEPARATE ACTION AS [Captioner] 20:40:09 DESCRIBED IN THE STAFF REPORT. [Captioner] 20:40:13 MY COLLEAGUE THE CITY'S ECONOMIC [Captioner] 20:40:15 DEVELOPMENT MANAGER DONOVAN [Captioner] 20:40:17 LOZARO WILL NOW GIVE A BRIEF [Captioner] 20:40:18 PRESENTATION ON THE ECONOMIC [Captioner] 20:40:20 BENEFITS TO THE CITY. [Captioner] 20:40:21 >> THANK YOU JAMES AND GOOD [Captioner] 20:40:21 EVENING COUNCIL. [Captioner] 20:40:23 IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU [Captioner] 20:40:25 HERE TONIGHT TO DISCUSS THIS [Captioner] 20:40:26 IMPORTANT ITEM. [Captioner] 20:40:28 AS JAMES MENTIONED MY NAME IS [Captioner] 20:40:31 DONOVAN LOZARO AND I HAVE THE [Captioner] 20:40:33 PRIVILEGE OF SERVING AS [Captioner] 20:40:35 TREATMENT'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT [Captioner] 20:40:36 DIRECTOR. [Captioner] 20:40:37 THERE IS A LOT OF GOOD [Captioner] 20:40:38 INFORMATION THAT JAMES HAS [Captioner] 20:40:39 ALREADY SHARED OR WILL BE [Captioner] 20:40:41 COVERED BY THE APPLICANT'S [Captioner] 20:40:43 PRESENTATION SO IN THE INTEREST [Captioner] 20:40:46 OF BREVITY, I WILL SPEAK TO HIGH [Captioner] 20:40:48 LEVEL ECONOMIC AND FISCAL [Captioner] 20:40:49 CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE PROPOSED [Captioner] 20:40:51 PROJECT AND AVAILABLE FOR ANY [Captioner] 20:40:52 QUESTIONS THAT YOU 98 HAVE. [Captioner] 20:40:53 THE PROJECT BEFORE YOU IS [Captioner] 20:40:55 DIRECTLY ALIGNED WITH THE CITY [Captioner] 20:40:56 STRATEGY TO IDENTIFY SITES THAT [Captioner] 20:40:59 ARE MARGINAL IN NATURE AND [Captioner] 20:41:00 OPTIMIZE THEM FOR EXPANSION OF [Captioner] 20:41:03 THE CITY'S TAX BASE AND THE [Captioner] 20:41:04 CREATION OF HIGH QUALITY JOBS. [Captioner] 20:41:06 IN THIS CASE, WE WOULD BE [Captioner] 20:41:09 CHANGING THE LAND USE [Captioner] 20:41:12 DESIGNATION FOR A SITE THAT HAS [Captioner] 20:41:13 SAT VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED FOR [Captioner] 20:41:16 MANY YEARS, AND BRINGING IN A [Captioner] 20:41:18 HIGH QUALITY INDUSTRIAL FACILITY [Captioner] 20:41:19 THAT WILL SERVE TO ATTRACT [Captioner] 20:41:21 LEADING ADVANCED MANUFACTURING [Captioner] 20:41:23 COMPANIES TO FREMONT. [Captioner] 20:41:25 FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT BE AWARE, [Captioner] 20:41:28 TREATMENT HAS MORE MANUFACTURING [Captioner] 20:41:30 JOBS AND COMPANIES THAN ANY CITY [Captioner] 20:41:31 IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. [Captioner] 20:41:34 AND IS THE STATE'S LEADER FOR [Captioner] 20:41:36 ADVANCED MANUFACTURING AND [Captioner] 20:41:39 TRARCHGLY ONE OF THE LARGEST [Captioner] 20:41:41 CLUSTERS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. [Captioner] 20:41:44 MOREOVER ALL OF OUR PROPERTY TAX [Captioner] 20:41:47 GENERATORS ARE MANUFACTURING [Captioner] 20:41:48 COMPANIES DUE TO THE PROPERTY [Captioner] 20:41:49 ASSESSMENTS ON THE VALUABLE [Captioner] 20:41:52 EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS THEY [Captioner] 20:41:52 USE. [Captioner] 20:41:54 IN A SIMILAR VETERINARIAN MORE [Captioner] 20:41:56 THAN HALF OF THE CITY'S TAX BASE [Captioner] 20:41:58 IS GENERATED FROM THE CITY'S [Captioner] 20:42:01 INDUSTRIAL LANDS, DWARFING THE [Captioner] 20:42:03 POPULAR AUTO MALL. [Captioner] 20:42:05 THESE SUPPORT MANY VITAL [Captioner] 20:42:06 SERVICES THE CITY PROVIDES TO [Captioner] 20:42:07 THE COMMUNITY. [Captioner] 20:42:09 ONE OF THE CHALLENGES TO GROWING [Captioner] 20:42:11 FREMONT'S ADVANCED MANUFACTURING [Captioner] 20:42:12 SECTOR IS THE LIMITED [Captioner] 20:42:14 AVAILABILITY OF CONTRARY [Captioner] 20:42:17 PROJECTS LIKE THE ONE BEFORE YOU [Captioner] 20:42:22 -- CONTEMPORARY PROJECTS LIKE [Captioner] 20:42:24 YOU SEIZE BEFORE YOU TODAY. [Captioner] 20:42:27 THERE IS NATURAL TURNOVER OF THE [Captioner] 20:42:27 UNITS. [Captioner] 20:42:29 BY COMPARISON, OUR INDUSTRIAL [Captioner] 20:42:31 MARKET HAS HOVERED BETWEEN TWO [Captioner] 20:42:37 TO 3% AVAILABILITY FOR THE LAST [Captioner] 20:42:37 SEVERAL YEARS. [Captioner] 20:42:38 ESSENTIALLY THERE IS NOT ENOUGH [Captioner] 20:42:40 INDUSTRIAL SPACE TO SUPPORT [Captioner] 20:42:43 EXPANSIONS OR ADDITIONS OF NEW [Captioner] 20:42:44 MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS IN OUR [Captioner] 20:42:45 CITY CURRENTLY. [Captioner] 20:42:48 LEADING SILICON VALLEY COMPANIES [Captioner] 20:42:50 ARE PRIORITIZING FREMONT IF THEY [Captioner] 20:42:51 CAN FIND AVAILABLE SPACE WHICH [Captioner] 20:42:53 IS A GREAT POSITION TO BE IN AS [Captioner] 20:42:55 A COMMUNITY. [Captioner] 20:42:56 IN ADDITION TO THESE [Captioner] 20:42:58 CONSIDERATIONS, THE PROJECT WILL [Captioner] 20:43:00 ALSO PROVIDE A DIRECT FISCAL [Captioner] 20:43:02 STIMULUS, INCLUDING [Captioner] 20:43:04 APPROXIMATELY $480,000 IN ONE [Captioner] 20:43:06 TIME IMPACT FEES TO SUPPORT [Captioner] 20:43:07 ROADS AND PUBLIC FACILITIES AND [Captioner] 20:43:09 IS EXPECTED TO GENERATE [Captioner] 20:43:12 APPROXIMATELY $800,000 OF TAX [Captioner] 20:43:13 REVENUE TO THE CITY OVER THE [Captioner] 20:43:15 NEXT TEN YEARS FOLLOWING PROJECT [Captioner] 20:43:16 COMPLETION AS WELL AS AN [Captioner] 20:43:19 ADDITIONAL $450,000 TO FREMONT [Captioner] 20:43:21 UNIFIED, OVER THE SAME PERIOD BY [Captioner] 20:43:23 WAY OF INCREASED PROPERTY TAX [Captioner] 20:43:23 REVENUES. [Captioner] 20:43:26 ONCE BUILT, LEASED AND OCCUPIED [Captioner] 20:43:28 WE WOULD EXPECT A FACILITY OF [Captioner] 20:43:30 THIS SIZE TO PROVIDE SPACE FOR [Captioner] 20:43:31 APPROXIMATELY 150 JOBS. [Captioner] 20:43:38 IN CLOSING, THIS IS A PROJECT [Captioner] 20:43:40 THAT IS VERY MUCH ALIGNED WITH [Captioner] 20:43:43 FREMONT'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT [Captioner] 20:43:44 STRATEGIES AND WE ARE [Captioner] 20:43:46 RECOMMENDING YOUR APPROVAL. [Captioner] 20:43:46 THANK YOU. [Captioner] 20:43:51 >> THANK YOU. [Captioner] 20:43:52 ANY QUESTIONS FROM CITY COUNCIL [Captioner] 20:43:56 TO CITY STAFF? [Captioner] 20:43:57 COMMISSIONER LIU. [Captioner] 20:43:59 >> Councilmember Liu: SO FOR [Captioner] 20:44:00 DISCLOSURE PURPOSES I HAVE MET [Captioner] 20:44:01 WITH THE DEVELOPER AND RECEIVED [Captioner] 20:44:04 A BRIEFING AND I WAS PRETTY MUCH [Captioner] 20:44:06 BOTH DONOVAN AND JAMES HAS JUST [Captioner] 20:44:07 SAID, BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF [Captioner] 20:44:09 QUESTIONS I ASKED SO I WANT TO [Captioner] 20:44:10 ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS TO YOU [Captioner] 20:44:12 DICE SO EVERYBODY ELSE CAN [Captioner] 20:44:13 RECEIVE THE SAME ANSWERS I HAVE [Captioner] 20:44:14 HAD. [Captioner] 20:44:15 SO THE FIRST QUESTION I ASKED [Captioner] 20:44:17 WAS REGARDING THE WHOLE [Captioner] 20:44:18 ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS WITH [Captioner] 20:44:20 REGARDS TO THIS, RIGHT? [Captioner] 20:44:21 AS WE ALL KNOW SOME [Captioner] 20:44:24 MANUFACTURING CAN HAVE SOME [Captioner] 20:44:29 ADVERSE BLOW-BACK EFFECTS AND I [Captioner] 20:44:30 KNOW VERY WELL THAT THE ICE [Captioner] 20:44:33 PALACE CENTER NEARBY ACTUALLY [Captioner] 20:44:34 HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT AMMONIA [Captioner] 20:44:35 BEFORE. [Captioner] 20:44:36 THAT WAS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I [Captioner] 20:44:37 ASKED. [Captioner] 20:44:39 WHAT ARE SOME OF THE NEGATIVE [Captioner] 20:44:40 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS IF ANY [Captioner] 20:44:43 THERE OF THIS PROJECT? [Captioner] 20:44:46 >> SO THE PROJECT BEFORE YOU IS [Captioner] 20:44:47 A SPEC INDUSTRIAL BUILDING. [Captioner] 20:44:48 THE USE OF THE BUILDING HAS [Captioner] 20:44:50 THOUGHT BEEN PROPOSED YET TO THE [Captioner] 20:44:51 CITY. [Captioner] 20:44:54 THE BUILDING IS BEING BUILT IN A [Captioner] 20:44:57 FIRST CONFIGURATION THAT WOULD [Captioner] 20:45:01 ALLOW FOR EITHER MANUFACTURING [Captioner] 20:45:04 OR, USE, IT WILL BE REVIEWED BY [Captioner] 20:45:07 CITY STAFF FOR CONFORMANCE WITH [Captioner] 20:45:11 THE ZONING, THAT ORDINANCE WOULD [Captioner] 20:45:13 REQUIRE USE PERMITS IF THEY [Captioner] 20:45:15 EXCEED CERTAIN QUANTITIES OF [Captioner] 20:45:17 CERTAIN CLASSIFICATIONS OF [Captioner] 20:45:18 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND THAT [Captioner] 20:45:19 WOULD ALLOW PUBLIC HEARING [Captioner] 20:45:21 PROCESS. [Captioner] 20:45:22 BUT IN ANY RESPECT, THE CITY [Captioner] 20:45:24 STAFF WILL REVIEW ANY FUTURE [Captioner] 20:45:26 TENANTS MOVING INTO THE [Captioner] 20:45:26 BUILDING. [Captioner] 20:45:27 >> Councilmember Liu: ALL [Captioner] 20:45:28 RIGHT. [Captioner] 20:45:29 THOSE ARE THE ONLY QUESTIONS I [Captioner] 20:45:30 ASKED. [Captioner] 20:45:30 THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [Captioner] 20:45:35 >> Councilmember Salwan: [Captioner] 20:45:36 COUNCILMEMBER SHAO. [Captioner] 20:45:37 >> Councilmember Shao: THANK [Captioner] 20:45:38 YOU, MR. MAYOR. [Captioner] 20:45:39 ACTUALLY MY QUESTION HAS BEEN [Captioner] 20:45:41 PARTIALLY ANSWERED. [Captioner] 20:45:46 SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, LET'S SAY [Captioner] 20:45:48 IF WE ALL KNOW THAT FREMONT IS [Captioner] 20:45:51 A BATTERY HUB FOR CALIFORNIA [Captioner] 20:45:53 MAYBE EVEN THE WHOLE COUNTRY. [Captioner] 20:45:57 WHAT IF MANUFACTURE WANTS TO [Captioner] 20:45:59 MANUFACTURE LITHIUM BASED [Captioner] 20:46:01 BATTERIES, AND THAT TYPE OF [Captioner] 20:46:05 BATTERIES ARE WELL-KNOWN TO, FOR [Captioner] 20:46:09 EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, CATCH [Captioner] 20:46:09 FIRE. [Captioner] 20:46:11 SO ALL THE ORDINANCES AND [Captioner] 20:46:12 REGULATION STANDARDS THAT YOU [Captioner] 20:46:17 JUST MENTIONED WOULD BE ENFORCED [Captioner] 20:46:22 TO, YOU KNOW, LIKE OPTIMIZE THE [Captioner] 20:46:26 MITIGATION OF SUCH HEARD OWES [Captioner] 20:46:28 AND RISKS AND SO ON, CORRECT? [Captioner] 20:46:29 >> CORRECT. [Captioner] 20:46:31 WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE IN FREMONT [Captioner] 20:46:33 TO BE ONE OF THE HANDFUL OF BAY [Captioner] 20:46:35 AREA COOUNTS THAT ADMINISTERS [Captioner] 20:46:39 OUR OWN IN HOUSE HAZARDOUS [Captioner] 20:46:41 MATERIALS MANAGEMENT SO WE HAVE [Captioner] 20:46:42 DIRECT OVERSIGHT OF ALL THE [Captioner] 20:46:43 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OPERATORS [Captioner] 20:46:44 WITHIN THE CITY. [Captioner] 20:46:46 SO IN ADDITION TO STANDARD [Captioner] 20:46:49 BUILDING PERMIT PROCESSES WHERE [Captioner] 20:46:51 THERE ARE SPECIFIC OPERATIONS [Captioner] 20:46:53 WOULD BE VERY MUCH SCRUTINIZED [Captioner] 20:46:57 AND REVIEWED AND INSPECTED WE [Captioner] 20:46:59 ALSO HAD THE OAN GOING [Captioner] 20:47:01 OVERSIGHTS OF ANY HAZARDOUS [Captioner] 20:47:03 MATERIALS THAT ARE BROUGHT INTO [Captioner] 20:47:05 AND HANDLED WITHIN THE [Captioner] 20:47:07 FACILITIES AND THOSE FACILITIES [Captioner] 20:47:11 ARE CONTINUALLY INSPECTED ON A [Captioner] 20:47:14 ANNUAL BASIS OR EVEN MORE [Captioner] 20:47:16 FREQUENTLY. [Captioner] 20:47:17 >> Mayor Salwan: VICE MAYOR [Captioner] 20:47:22 CAMPBELL. [Captioner] 20:47:23 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: I JUST [Captioner] 20:47:25 HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THE [Captioner] 20:47:26 ADDITIONAL APPROVALS THAT YOU [Captioner] 20:47:27 MENTIONED ON ONE OF THE SLIDES. [Captioner] 20:47:29 I'M SORRY, DOESN'T HAVE A NUMBER [Captioner] 20:47:33 ON IT, PAGE NUMBER ON IT, BUT [Captioner] 20:47:34 PAGE 7 IT LOOKS LIKE. [Captioner] 20:47:37 WHAT WOULD BE THE LOT LINE [Captioner] 20:47:38 ADJUSTMENT THAT WOULD BE [Captioner] 20:47:40 APPROVED BY THE PLANNING [Captioner] 20:47:43 MANAGER, AND THE EASEMENT THAT [Captioner] 20:47:45 NEEDS TO BE VACATED? [Captioner] 20:47:46 WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE ON [Captioner] 20:47:48 THAT SORT OF MAP THAT YOU SHOWED [Captioner] 20:47:50 US? [Captioner] 20:47:51 >> THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE [Captioner] 20:47:54 SITE KIND OF IN A NORTH-SHOUT [Captioner] 20:47:57 ORIENTATION THERE IS A LOT [Captioner] 20:47:57 LINE. [Captioner] 20:47:58 THIS IS TWO LEGAL LOTS. [Captioner] 20:48:00 THE LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT WOULD [Captioner] 20:48:01 GET RID OF THAT LOT LINE TO [Captioner] 20:48:03 ALLOW THE BUILDING TO CROSS [Captioner] 20:48:05 WHERE THE CURRENT PROPERTY LINE [Captioner] 20:48:07 IS, AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS THE [Captioner] 20:48:08 LOT LINE BASICALLY SPLITS THE [Captioner] 20:48:09 LOT IN HALF. [Captioner] 20:48:12 IT'S A ROUTINE PROCESS TO DO A [Captioner] 20:48:14 LOT LINE ADJUSTMENTS AT THE [Captioner] 20:48:16 PLANNING MANAGER LEVEL, THE [Captioner] 20:48:17 CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL WOULD [Captioner] 20:48:19 ALLOW THEM TO DO THAT, IF THIS [Captioner] 20:48:21 PROJECT IS APPROVED BY THE CITY [Captioner] 20:48:25 COUNCIL. [Captioner] 20:48:25 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: THE -- [Captioner] 20:48:27 I'M SORRY CAN I ASK A QUICK [Captioner] 20:48:28 FOLLOW UP? [Captioner] 20:48:29 >> SURE. [Captioner] 20:48:30 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: SO IS [Captioner] 20:48:32 THE LOT LINE BY HOME DEPOT OR [Captioner] 20:48:35 WHERE DOES IT CROSS OVER TO, [Captioner] 20:48:36 THAT'S PROBABLY A BETTER [Captioner] 20:48:38 QUESTION FOR ME SO I COULD KIND [Captioner] 20:48:41 OF GOAT A SENSE OF WHERE THAT [Captioner] 20:48:41 IS. [Captioner] 20:48:44 AND WOULD THAT MEAN THAT YOU'D [Captioner] 20:48:49 HAVE TOTO [Captioner] 20:48:53 TO TO GET [Captioner] 20:48:54 POAMPLETION FROM THE HOME DEPOA [Captioner] 20:48:56 OR WHEREVER THE LOT IS FROM? [Captioner] 20:48:59 >> THE HOME DEPOT IS SEPARATED [Captioner] 20:49:04 BY THE TOMORROWER REI BUILDING, [Captioner] 20:49:05 THE BUILDING THAT IS BOARDED UP [Captioner] 20:49:08 AND THE REI BUILDING. [Captioner] 20:49:10 THE DOTTED LINE TRAVELS THROUGH [Captioner] 20:49:11 THE CENTER OF THE SITE THAT IS [Captioner] 20:49:13 ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW, [Captioner] 20:49:14 SPECIFICALLY IT IS THIS LINE [Captioner] 20:49:15 RIGHT HERE. [Captioner] 20:49:17 BOTH OF THESE LOTS ARE UNDER THE [Captioner] 20:49:19 SAME OWNERSHIP, BUT THE BUILDING [Captioner] 20:49:20 CODE DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO BUILD [Captioner] 20:49:21 A BUILDING THAT CROSSES LOT [Captioner] 20:49:22 LINES. [Captioner] 20:49:24 SO IN ORDER TO BUILD A LARGE [Captioner] 20:49:25 BUILDING ON THE SITE THEY WOULD [Captioner] 20:49:27 HAVE TO RELOCATE THE LOT LINE [Captioner] 20:49:29 WHICH IS THE LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT [Captioner] 20:49:30 PROCESS. [Captioner] 20:49:31 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: OKAY [Captioner] 20:49:32 BUT THAT WOULDN'T REQUIRE YOU TO [Captioner] 20:49:34 TEAR UP A ROAD OR ANYTHING? [Captioner] 20:49:35 IT WOULD JUST BE MERELY MOVING [Captioner] 20:49:38 THE LINE ON THE PAGE? [Captioner] 20:49:39 >> IT'S A DRAWING ON A MAP. [Captioner] 20:49:42 IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY CHANGE [Captioner] 20:49:43 PHYSICALLY. [Captioner] 20:49:43 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: [Captioner] 20:49:44 DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING, GOOD. [Captioner] 20:49:47 AND THE EASEMENT PIECE, I'M [Captioner] 20:49:48 SORRY I KNOW YOU WERE GOING TO [Captioner] 20:49:49 TELL ME ABOUT THAT. [Captioner] 20:49:52 >> THE DOTTED LINES RIGHT HERE [Captioner] 20:49:54 ARE AN OLD EASEMENT THAT IS NO [Captioner] 20:49:55 LONGER USED. [Captioner] 20:49:59 IT WAS FOR THE [Captioner] 20:50:01 WAREHOUSE THAT WAS AT THE BACK [Captioner] 20:50:02 OF THE SITE. [Captioner] 20:50:03 IT IS STILL THERE, THERE IS [Captioner] 20:50:04 NOTHING THERE, ENGINEERING HAS [Captioner] 20:50:06 CHOKED WITH ALL LOCAL UTILITY [Captioner] 20:50:08 COMPANIES AND AGENCIES AND THEY [Captioner] 20:50:09 ALL HAVE REPORTED BACK THAT THEY [Captioner] 20:50:12 HAVE NO FACILITIES WITHIN [Captioner] 20:50:13 THERE. [Captioner] 20:50:14 SO THIS IS ALLOWED TO GO THROUGH [Captioner] 20:50:16 WHAT'S CALLED A SUMMARY VACATION [Captioner] 20:50:18 WHICH IS A ROUTINE SIMPLE [Captioner] 20:50:23 REMOVAL OF AN EASEMENT LINE, [Captioner] 20:50:25 MAKE IT GO AWAY AGAIN TO ALLOW [Captioner] 20:50:26 DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE BECAUSE [Captioner] 20:50:27 THIS TRAVELS THROUGH THE CENTER [Captioner] 20:50:28 OF THE SITE. [Captioner] 20:50:30 WAY BACK WHEN, THERE WAS LIKE A [Captioner] 20:50:32 PAVED AREA WHERE THIS TRAVELS [Captioner] 20:50:34 THROUGH, THAT'S WHY IT TAKES A [Captioner] 20:50:35 WEIRD CURVE LIKE THIS. [Captioner] 20:50:36 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: I [Captioner] 20:50:36 SEE. [Captioner] 20:50:38 AND AGAIN THAT'S JUST MOVING IT [Captioner] 20:50:41 ON THIS PAPER SO THAT IT'S WIDE [Captioner] 20:50:42 ORE OR LONGER? [Captioner] 20:50:44 >> GOES AWAY. [Captioner] 20:50:44 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: GOES [Captioner] 20:50:45 AWAY. [Captioner] 20:50:46 OKAY. [Captioner] 20:50:47 VACATE. [Captioner] 20:50:49 >> IT WILL BE RELOCATED TO, YOU [Captioner] 20:50:50 CAN SEE DOWN HERE, THESE ARE [Captioner] 20:50:52 SOME OTHER -- [Captioner] 20:50:52 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: I [Captioner] 20:50:54 SEIZE, OKAY, I ROBE. [Captioner] 20:50:56 >> Commissioner Ezzy: , WE HAD [Captioner] 20:50:56 THAT CONVERSATION. [Captioner] 20:50:57 YES. [Captioner] 20:50:59 >> THESE EASEMENTS HERE WILL GO [Captioner] 20:51:00 AWAY. [Captioner] 20:51:01 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: I SEE, [Captioner] 20:51:02 OKAY, SOUNDS GOOD. [Captioner] 20:51:04 THANK YOU SO MUCH. [Captioner] 20:51:05 >> Mayor Salwan: COUNCILMEMBER [Captioner] 20:51:07 KIMBERLIN. [Captioner] 20:51:07 >> Councilmember Kimberlin: [Captioner] 20:51:09 YES, ACTUALLY THAT WAS MY [Captioner] 20:51:10 QUESTION SO THAT WAS ANSWERED [Captioner] 20:51:12 BUT I DO WANT TO DISCLOSE THAT I [Captioner] 20:51:13 HAVE SEEN THE PRESENTATION WHEN [Captioner] 20:51:15 I WAS ON GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS AND [Captioner] 20:51:19 I HAVE MET WITH THE APPLICANT. [Captioner] 20:51:21 >> Mayor Salwan: COUNCILMEMBER [Captioner] 20:51:23 KENG. [Captioner] 20:51:24 >> Councilmember Keng: THANK [Captioner] 20:51:25 YOU. [Captioner] 20:51:29 I USED TO WORK AROUND THE CORNER [Captioner] 20:51:31 FROM THIS LOCATION, WARM SPRINGS [Captioner] 20:51:33 LOCATION, I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH [Captioner] 20:51:36 THIS SITE, I THINK IT WILL BRING [Captioner] 20:51:37 IMPROVEMENT TO THE AREA BECAUSE [Captioner] 20:51:39 RIGHT NOW IT'S FOR YEARS AND [Captioner] 20:51:41 YEARS THERE HASN'T BONE ANYTHING [Captioner] 20:51:45 AND REI HAS MOVED, SINCE CLOSED [Captioner] 20:51:46 A COUPLE YEARS AGO. [Captioner] 20:51:49 SO I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GOOD [Captioner] 20:51:52 USE FOR THIS LOCATION GREAT [Captioner] 20:51:55 CENTRALLY LOCATED. [Captioner] 20:51:56 SO I'M SUPPORTIVE. [Captioner] 20:52:00 >> Mayor Salwan: OKAY SO WITH [Captioner] 20:52:02 THAT WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN [Captioner] 20:52:06 THIS UP TO THE APPLICANT.

[Captioner] 20:56:01 AND IF WE DO THAT, WE BELIEVE, [Captioner] 20:56:02 AS THE CITY OF FREMONT BELIEVES [Captioner] 20:56:04 IN MY OPINION, THAT THIS WILL [Captioner] 20:56:08 LINE UP RIGHT WITH THE ADVANCED [Captioner] 20:56:09 MANUFACTURING SECTOR THAT [Captioner] 20:56:10 TREATMENT IS THOUGHT ONLY LEADER [Captioner] 20:56:12 IN CALIFORNIA BUT AS DONOVAN [Captioner] 20:56:15 MENTIONED MORE THAN LEADERS OF [Captioner] 20:56:17 THE ENTIRE NATION IN BRINGING [Captioner] 20:56:20 MANUFACTURING TO THE CITY.

[Captioner] 20:57:04 WHAT THAT MEANS IS WE DON'T HAVE [Captioner] 20:57:05 A TENANT IDENTIFIED YET. [Captioner] 20:57:07 WE DO THINK AT THAT TIME MARKET [Captioner] 20:57:09 AS DONOVAN TOUCHED ON IS LESS AS [Captioner] 20:57:12 WE KNOW LESS THAN 3% VACANT. [Captioner] 20:57:14 WE THINK ANY NUMBER OF COMPANIES [Captioner] 20:57:16 WOULD BE INTERESTED THIS THIS [Captioner] 20:57:18 SITE, PROBABLY A COMPANY THAT IS [Captioner] 20:57:19 ALREADY IN TREATMENT BUT IT [Captioner] 20:57:21 COULD ATTRACT ENTHUSE INTEREST [Captioner] 20:57:23 BECAUSE OF A LACK OF SUPPLY FOR [Captioner] 20:57:24 THIS KIND OF REAL ESTATE.

[Captioner] 21:00:37 BUT WE HAVE NOT STARTED [Captioner] 21:00:38 CONSTRUCTION OF THAT BUILDING [Captioner] 21:00:39 YET. [Captioner] 21:00:40 >> Councilmember Zhang: SO HAS [Captioner] 21:00:42 THAT ONE -- IS IN THE PROCESS [Captioner] 21:00:44 OF, WHERE IT IS NOW? [Captioner] 21:00:46 >> THAT ONE, WE DON'T HAVE ANY [Captioner] 21:00:47 PLANS TO MOVE FORWARD RIGHT [Captioner] 21:00:48 THOUSAND. [Captioner] 21:00:50 THE FINANCIAL REALITY OF [Captioner] 21:00:51 DEVELOPMENT RIGHT NOW IS THAT [Captioner] 21:00:54 BUILDING DOESN'T MAKE FINANCIAL [Captioner] 21:00:55 SENSE TO GO INFORMED. [Captioner] 21:00:56 THIS ONE DOES. [Captioner] 21:00:58 FOR ALL KINDS OF REASONS.

[Captioner] 21:02:47 >> Councilmember Zhang: OKAY, [Captioner] 21:02:49 THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW, [Captioner] 21:02:50 CONSTRUCTION TAKES ABOUT A [Captioner] 21:02:50 YEAR. [Captioner] 21:02:51 >> ABOUT A YEAR. [Captioner] 21:02:52 >> Councilmember Zhang: OKAY. [Captioner] 21:02:54 THAT'S ALL FOR MY QUESTION. [Captioner] 21:02:55 THANK YOU SO MUCH.
