and have her be a part of mine.

149
00:05:58,117 --> 00:05:58,818
I've known her for years when I

150
00:05:58,818 --> 00:05:59,652
first worked for the city when

151
00:05:59,652 --> 00:06:02,521
i was fresh out of high school

152
00:06:02,521 --> 00:06:05,521
she was my supervisor very

153
00:06:07,126 --> 00:06:07,460
energetic, very chatty, tactful

154
00:06:07,460 --> 00:06:08,294
.

155
00:06:08,294 --> 00:06:08,894
You know, she has a lot of

156
00:06:08,894 --> 00:06:09,295
gumption, you know, very

157
00:06:09,295 --> 00:06:11,295
encouraging.

158
00:06:13,650 --> 00:06:13,766
You know, she kind of like took

159
00:06:13,766 --> 00:06:14,533
me under her wing and like

160
00:06:14,533 --> 00:06:17,303
treated me like a little

161
00:06:17,303 --> 00:06:18,104
brother.

162
00:06:18,104 --> 00:06:19,710
So I'm just happy to be here.

163
00:06:19,710 --> 00:06:22,208
On behalf of her accepting her

164
00:06:22,208 --> 00:06:22,575
award which she earned very,

165
00:06:22,575 --> 00:06:24,575
very much.

166
00:06:27,413 --> 00:06:28,800
And that's all I got to say.

167
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:28,448
>> Have a good day.

168
00:06:28,448 --> 00:06:29,214

169
00:06:29,214 --> 00:06:32,814
Allegedly I don't If you can

170
00:06:39,859 --> 00:06:40,526
please come forward actually

171
00:06:40,526 --> 00:06:42,828
thought it said Tina Turner

172
00:06:42,828 --> 00:06:46,428
first when I realized she's not

173
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:48,834
here anymore.

174
00:06:48,834 --> 00:06:49,569
>> My problem is when you guys

175
00:06:49,569 --> 00:06:52,305
do proclamations and I'm always

176
00:06:52,305 --> 00:06:52,972
going to say this is that it's

177
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:53,639
just sad that there's things

178
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:54,272
that just get brushed under

179
00:06:54,272 --> 00:06:57,476
the rug that we don't talk

180
00:06:57,476 --> 00:06:58,211
about like different murders

181
00:06:58,211 --> 00:07:01,811
and rapes that are happening at

182
00:07:02,415 --> 00:07:03,149
the parks and recreations And

183
00:07:03,149 --> 00:07:06,149
you know we can appreciate

184
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:08,121
these people but then it's like

185
00:07:08,121 --> 00:07:08,753
if we don't acknowledge

186
00:07:08,753 --> 00:07:11,753
the things that are taking

187
00:07:12,791 --> 00:07:13,459
place there at different parks

188
00:07:13,459 --> 00:07:16,459
throughout the city and you

189
00:07:17,630 --> 00:07:18,398
guys, you know, don't consent

190
00:07:18,398 --> 00:07:19,980
great on making them safer and

191
00:07:19,980 --> 00:07:21,867
putting lights and things like

192
00:07:21,867 --> 00:07:22,535
that that I feel like you know,

193
00:07:22,535 --> 00:07:25,535
we need to acknowledge those

194
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:27,707
things and instead of, you

195
00:07:27,707 --> 00:07:28,408
know, pretending like they

196
00:07:28,408 --> 00:07:31,408
don't happen because we're you

197

know, supporting somebody which

203
00:07:41,521 --> 00:07:42,220
disturbing to me That does

204
00:07:42,220 --> 00:07:44,620

and shared what was happening

216

390
00:14:05,940 --> 00:14:08,340
Center, Mid-City Gym and

391
00:14:09,744 --> 00:14:10,511

392
00:14:10,511 --> 00:14:14,111

393
00:14:15,116 --> 00:14:16,117
to your comments here and you

394
00:14:16,117 --> 00:14:16,484
said you got to have a job for

395
00:14:16,484 --> 00:14:18,484
38 years.

396
00:14:20,455 --> 00:14:21,155
You earned the job and you kept

397
00:14:21,155 --> 00:14:24,558
the job because you were doing

398
00:14:24,558 --> 00:14:25,126
incredible work and

399
00:14:25,126 --> 00:14:25,827
the gratitude that you

400
00:14:25,827 --> 00:14:28,827
expressed here just know that

401
00:14:29,330 --> 00:14:30,640
it's it's right back at you.

402
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:30,899
38 years is an incredible

403
00:14:30,899 --> 00:14:34,499
amount of time to dedicate to

404
00:14:34,669 --> 00:14:35,402
the city And I was thinking

405
00:14:35,402 --> 00:14:38,673
about some of the programs that

406
00:14:38,673 --> 00:14:39,440
were named that you helped

407
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,440
support and those are you

408
00:14:44,112 --> 00:14:44,478
helped create lifelong memories

409
00:14:44,478 --> 00:14:45,246
for folks.

410
00:14:45,246 --> 00:14:48,650
And when our city staff pours

411
00:14:48,650 --> 00:14:49,350
love and our parks and rec

412
00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:52,350
centers it has such an

413
00:14:53,210 --> 00:14:53,421
incredible impact on

414
00:14:53,421 --> 00:14:54,220
communities.

415
00:14:54,220 --> 00:14:54,689
I know you know that But

416
00:14:54,689 --> 00:14:58,226
the young people who grow up

417
00:14:58,226 --> 00:14:58,960
there and will always remember

418
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,960
fondly the experiences they had

419
00:15:02,796 --> 00:15:03,365
the seniors who felt by and by

420
00:15:03,365 --> 00:15:03,965
and connection there.

421
00:15:03,965 --> 00:15:06,365
It's just really, really

422
00:15:07,635 --> 00:15:08,335
important work And so thank you

423
00:15:08,335 --> 00:15:09,300

425
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:13,474

426
00:15:13,474 --> 00:15:13,874
>> Thank you.

427
00:15:13,874 --> 00:15:14,542
All right.

428
00:15:14,542 --> 00:15:16,942
Thank you, Council members.

429
00:15:18,613 --> 00:15:19,214
So again, we have a motion by

430
00:15:19,214 --> 00:15:19,881
Councilmember Foster and

431
00:15:19,881 --> 00:15:20,381
the second by council member

432
00:15:20,381 --> 00:15:20,949
Eli Rivera to move

433
00:15:20,949 --> 00:15:22,949
the proclamation item.

434
00:15:23,117 --> 00:15:23,585
We'll go next to council member

435
00:15:23,585 --> 00:15:24,118
Autumn Walbert.

436
00:15:24,118 --> 00:15:26,518
Thank you very much.

437
00:15:27,288 --> 00:15:27,956
And I would also want to thank

438
00:15:27,956 --> 00:15:28,323
you for your service to our

439
00:15:28,323 --> 00:15:28,923
community.

440
00:15:28,923 --> 00:15:32,360
I mean the Parks and Rec

441
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:33,161
Department provided joy to our

442
00:15:33,161 --> 00:15:33,528
city which is such a huge part

443
00:15:33,528 --> 00:15:34,396
of a city.

444
00:15:34,396 --> 00:15:36,865
You know we can build roads, we

445
00:15:36,865 --> 00:15:37,532
can have public safety but if

446
00:15:37,532 --> 00:15:37,998
you can't provide community

447
00:15:37,998 --> 00:15:40,398
it's not a city.

448
00:15:41,436 --> 00:15:41,736
And so thank you for all you've

449
00:15:41,736 --> 00:15:42,337
done.

450
00:15:42,337 --> 00:15:43,380
I really appreciate you.

451
00:15:43,380 --> 00:15:46,141
And on behalf of the residents

452
00:15:46,141 --> 00:15:46,942
subscription and in particular

453
00:15:46,942 --> 00:15:47,642
you know my family went through

454
00:15:47,642 --> 00:15:51,780
the Cedar Fire and I know how

455
00:15:51,780 --> 00:15:52,547
hard you worked to keep the rec

456
00:15:52,547 --> 00:15:53,248
center to be a place of refuge,

457
00:15:53,248 --> 00:15:55,550
be a place where the community

458
00:15:55,550 --> 00:15:56,317
could get information.

459
00:15:56,317 --> 00:15:56,952
You know, I've been told many,

460
00:15:56,952 --> 00:15:59,352
many stories about people

461
00:16:00,522 --> 00:16:01,223
sitting down and being told to

462
00:16:01,223 --> 00:16:02,570
call their home voicemails to

463
00:16:02,570 --> 00:16:05,661
see if it picked up and if it

464
00:16:05,661 --> 00:16:06,161
didn't pick up that meant their

465
00:16:06,161 --> 00:16:07,194
house had burned.

466
00:16:07,194 --> 00:16:10,765
So I just just know that we so

467
00:16:10,765 --> 00:16:11,399
appreciate the over arching

468
00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:11,767
dedication you had to our

469
00:16:11,767 --> 00:16:12,367
community.

470
00:16:12,367 --> 00:16:12,768
Congratulations on your

471
00:16:12,768 --> 00:16:14,768

480
00:16:25,247 --> 00:16:25,747
Don't be a stranger any time.

481
00:16:25,747 --> 00:16:26,113
>> Thank you.

482
00:16:26,113 --> 00:16:26,715

Thank you for believing in

490
00:16:35,900 --> 00:16:38,900
the city and giving everything

491
00:16:38,594 --> 00:16:39,270
that is what a public servant

492
00:16:39,270 --> 00:16:41,270
is all about.

493
00:16:42,898 --> 00:16:43,765
So we are very blessed to have

494
00:16:43,765 --> 00:16:47,965

you get up to the microphone.

561
00:21:15,369 --> 00:21:17,369
Hi.

562
00:21:19,676 --> 00:21:20,543
I've got some I've got some big

563
00:21:20,543 --> 00:21:24,714
ideas that I thought of that I

564
00:21:24,714 --> 00:21:25,382
think many people support and

565
00:21:25,382 --> 00:21:28,382
that I'm really excited to

566
00:21:29,653 --> 00:21:32,653
share as for cannabis delivery

567
00:21:33,123 --> 00:21:36,123
services item 50 I thought that

568
00:21:37,594 --> 00:21:38,361
we could all loosen cannabis

569
00:21:38,361 --> 00:21:41,361
zoning and restrictions and we

570
00:21:42,899 --> 00:21:45,899
could put a dispensary downtown

571
00:21:48,171 --> 00:21:48,872
maybe by like Petco Park or in

572
00:21:48,872 --> 00:21:49,472
the East Village or in Little

573
00:21:49,472 --> 00:21:51,872
Italy somewhere and have

574
00:21:52,876 --> 00:21:53,577
downtown full of cannabis

575
00:21:53,577 --> 00:21:54,310
Dispensary is kind of like Los

576
00:21:54,310 --> 00:21:57,310
Angeles downtown Los Angeles or

577
00:21:58,140 --> 00:21:58,882
New York City.

578
00:21:58,882 --> 00:21:59,583
And then I think that would be

579
00:21:59,583 --> 00:22:02,583
cool because the only cannabis

580
00:22:02,718 --> 00:22:03,453
shops we have are in Middletown

581
00:22:03,453 --> 00:22:07,530
and then one past Barrio Logan.

582
00:22:07,224 --> 00:22:07,924
So that's kind of I don't know

583
00:22:07,924 --> 00:22:08,525
what other cities on the West

584
00:22:08,525 --> 00:22:11,525
Coast don't even have a

585
00:22:12,196 --> 00:22:12,863
cannabis dispensary downtown.

586
00:22:12,863 --> 00:22:13,496
>> It's just kind of

587
00:22:13,496 --> 00:22:14,131
inconvenient And I have a

588
00:22:14,131 --> 00:22:16,531
really exciting idea for

589
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:17,868
electric Bicycle safety

590
00:22:17,868 --> 00:22:21,468
regulations is a total which I

591
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:22,739
think many people in city

592
00:22:22,739 --> 00:22:25,739
council maybe would support And

593
00:22:26,376 --> 00:22:26,943
buzz is considered radical but

594
00:22:26,943 --> 00:22:27,744
it's an exciting idea.

595
00:22:27,744 --> 00:22:30,744
A total citywide ban on

596
00:22:31,815 --> 00:22:32,549
electric bicycles to promote

597
00:22:32,549 --> 00:22:35,549
exercise And because an average

598
00:22:36,753 --> 00:22:37,254
bicycle can go 10 or 15mph that

599
00:22:37,254 --> 00:22:38,188
should be enough.

600
00:22:38,188 --> 00:22:41,625
And I say that because I'm a

601
00:22:41,625 --> 00:22:42,392
skateboarder and I have a story

602
00:22:42,392 --> 00:22:46,563
to tell This is going to sound

603
00:22:46,563 --> 00:22:47,231
crazy but I will never look at

604
00:22:47,231 --> 00:22:48,980
an e-bike the same because I

605
00:22:48,980 --> 00:22:51,235
was on a bike trail on this is

606
00:22:51,235 --> 00:22:51,936
actually non San Diego in Los

607
00:22:51,936 --> 00:22:52,536
Angeles but I was on my

608
00:22:52,536 --> 00:22:54,936
skateboard and I was

609
00:22:55,172 --> 00:22:55,906
skateboarding on the bike trail

610
00:22:55,906 --> 00:22:56,607
and there is the little white

611
00:22:56,607 --> 00:23:00,207
line that's on the bike trail

612
00:23:00,310 --> 00:23:05,110
and a bike went by me at like

613
00:23:05,716 --> 00:23:06,417
35mph like inches away from me

614
00:23:06,417 --> 00:23:07,184
and my life flashed before my

615
00:23:07,184 --> 00:23:10,688
eyes And I think it was

616
00:23:10,688 --> 00:23:11,521
the closest experience I have

617
00:23:11,521 --> 00:23:12,121
had to death in my life and it

618
00:23:12,121 --> 00:23:14,121
was extremely dangerous.

619
00:23:15,225 --> 00:23:15,958
So yeah, total citywide ban on

620
00:23:15,958 --> 00:23:18,958
electric bicycles Just only can

621
00:23:19,763 --> 00:23:20,431
I say that as a skateboarder

622
00:23:20,431 --> 00:23:21,640
who rides a non-electric

623
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,464
skateboard just a normal

624
00:23:25,100 --> 00:23:25,636
skateboard I think skateboard

625
00:23:25,636 --> 00:23:26,235
should be allowed I think

626
00:23:26,235 --> 00:23:28,635
normal bicycle should be

627
00:23:29,639 --> 00:23:30,307
allowed and then banned all

628
00:23:30,307 --> 00:23:32,307
electric everything electric

629
00:23:33,744 --> 00:23:37,944
and then just to finish up I

630
00:23:39,150 --> 00:23:39,716
just wanted to say as for

631
00:23:39,716 --> 00:23:42,716
the state of emergency for

632
00:23:43,754 --> 00:23:47,354
Taiwan and Mexico, I think we

633
00:23:48,292 --> 00:23:48,926
could have the state of

634
00:23:48,926 --> 00:23:51,326
emergencies for much more

635
00:23:53,430 --> 00:23:53,730
serious things like a Freemason

636
00:23:53,730 --> 00:23:54,397
Zeus.

637
00:23:54,397 --> 00:23:57,397
That song would be more

638
00:23:57,735 --> 00:23:58,435
appropriate And this is kind of

639
00:23:58,435 --> 00:23:59,136
a strange form of corruption

640
00:23:59,136 --> 00:24:02,306
that many people don't like to

641
00:24:02,306 --> 00:24:02,907
talk about but it's medical

642
00:24:02,907 --> 00:24:05,307
fraud and where people's

643
00:24:07,244 --> 00:24:09,644
Medicaid and Medi-Cal gets

644
00:24:11,515 --> 00:24:12,183
charged to get unnecessary

645
00:24:12,183 --> 00:24:12,783
hospital procedures and even

646
00:24:12,783 --> 00:24:14,783
ambulance procedures in

647
00:24:16,553 --> 00:24:17,354
the form of mobile crisis that

648
00:24:17,354 --> 00:24:18,220
they don't need because of you

649
00:24:18,220 --> 00:24:20,422
For that concluding comment

650
00:24:21,992 --> 00:24:24,392
allegedly addressed you'll be

651
00:24:25,396 --> 00:24:26,197
speaking on 5051 50 to 100 1 or

652
00:24:26,197 --> 00:24:26,630
2 104 and s 500 You'll have

653
00:24:26,630 --> 00:24:28,630
three minutes.

654
00:24:29,799 --> 00:24:30,567
Please proceed.

655
00:24:30,567 --> 00:24:34,167
Guys might not like people but

656
00:24:34,338 --> 00:24:35,390
Max was you know right on that.

657
00:24:35,390 --> 00:24:35,506
I mean electric bikes don't

658
00:24:35,506 --> 00:24:37,506
promote health.

659
00:24:39,476 --> 00:24:40,100
I mean it actually keeps you

660
00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:40,745
from riding a bike.

661
00:24:40,745 --> 00:24:43,580
I mean you're not pedaling like

662
00:24:43,580 --> 00:24:44,280
my dad was all excited to ride

663
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,280
20 miles and it's like your

664
00:24:48,419 --> 00:24:48,819
bike did it whenever.

665
00:24:48,819 --> 00:24:49,587
Yes.

666
00:24:49,587 --> 00:24:53,187
So this cannabis stuff it's so

667
00:24:53,257 --> 00:24:54,125
interesting that you guys use

668
00:24:54,125 --> 00:24:54,925
the war on drugs as a reason to

669
00:24:54,925 --> 00:24:57,925
rob people from selling drugs

670
00:24:58,362 --> 00:24:59,630
or while they're selling them

671
00:24:59,630 --> 00:24:59,764
and then using that money You

672
00:24:59,764 --> 00:25:02,764
know, the billions of dollars

673
00:25:03,340 --> 00:25:03,668
that the governments taken And

674
00:25:03,668 --> 00:25:06,668
people still think it's a

675
00:25:07,805 --> 00:25:08,406
profitable business All you do

676
00:25:08,406 --> 00:25:08,806
is want to regulate it.

677
00:25:08,806 --> 00:25:09,707
It's crazy.

678
00:25:09,707 --> 00:25:13,144
It's like people can't come in

679
00:25:13,144 --> 00:25:13,911
here and you know, deliver this

680
00:25:13,911 --> 00:25:14,345
If we don't you know, make them

681
00:25:14,345 --> 00:25:16,345
get a permit.

682
00:25:17,481 --> 00:25:17,881
I mean who's going to know that

683
00:25:17,881 --> 00:25:18,649
anyway?

684
00:25:18,649 --> 00:25:19,283
You're just going to like But

685
00:25:19,283 --> 00:25:19,984
it's good because you have

686
00:25:19,984 --> 00:25:22,384
the enforcement that's that's

687
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:23,453
where you guys come into And

688
00:25:23,453 --> 00:25:26,453
this electric bike stuff really

689
00:25:27,357 --> 00:25:28,125
it's thing is that you're going

690
00:25:28,125 --> 00:25:28,826
to make it so nobody can ride a

691
00:25:28,826 --> 00:25:29,527
bike until they have insurance

692
00:25:29,527 --> 00:25:32,563
get it registered just like a

693
00:25:32,563 --> 00:25:33,397
car get them out of their cars

694
00:25:33,397 --> 00:25:36,901
and then put them in on a bike

695
00:25:36,901 --> 00:25:37,735
and then treat it like a car.

696
00:25:37,735 --> 00:25:38,469
And he was also right about

697
00:25:38,469 --> 00:25:41,469
medical billing and things like

698
00:25:41,572 --> 00:25:42,239
that or just you know, fraud

699
00:25:42,239 --> 00:25:45,239
that happens in addition to

700
00:25:45,276 --> 00:25:45,977
the fall ambulance sexual

701
00:25:45,977 --> 00:25:46,744
assaults where women are you

702
00:25:46,744 --> 00:25:50,344
know, get to the hospital naked

703
00:25:51,115 --> 00:25:51,515
and having stuff injected into

704
00:25:51,515 --> 00:25:52,149
their necks.

705
00:25:52,149 --> 00:25:52,550
But we don't need to worry

706
00:25:52,550 --> 00:25:54,550
about that.

707
00:25:55,286 --> 00:25:56,540
That's just another business.

708
00:25:56,540 --> 00:25:56,687
And then I just find it

709
00:25:56,687 --> 00:25:59,870
interesting when it's like

710
00:26:00,158 --> 00:26:00,858
urban areas security initiative

711
00:26:00,858 --> 00:26:04,458
like we had a border invasion

712
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:05,763
and we have all these things

713
00:26:05,763 --> 00:26:06,464
like I just don't think you

714
00:26:06,464 --> 00:26:07,131
guys can be trusted with that

715
00:26:07,131 --> 00:26:09,199
but it's another way to make

716
00:26:09,199 --> 00:26:09,600
money So good.

717
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:10,368
Let's see.

718
00:26:10,368 --> 00:26:13,368
Yes And the homeless housing

719
00:26:14,472 --> 00:26:15,106
assistance and Prevention grant

720
00:26:15,106 --> 00:26:18,106
is your guys's way of

721
00:26:18,976 --> 00:26:19,876
preventing homelessness

722
00:26:19,876 --> 00:26:22,876
murdering people in Tent City

723
00:26:24,382 --> 00:26:24,983
wondering because people are

724
00:26:24,983 --> 00:26:26,983
being murdered, they're

725
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:30,188
strangled black men are being

726
00:26:30,188 --> 00:26:30,622
strangled there.

727
00:26:30,622 --> 00:26:31,321
But it's cool.

728
00:26:31,321 --> 00:26:34,321
It's another business You can

729
00:26:34,592 --> 00:26:34,993
just get more money, you know

730
00:26:34,993 --> 00:26:35,759
what I mean?

731
00:26:35,759 --> 00:26:38,596
And then the t want to River

732
00:26:38,596 --> 00:26:39,230
Valley So the lady that came

733
00:26:39,230 --> 00:26:39,964
yesterday it's interesting

734
00:26:39,964 --> 00:26:42,964
she's talking about these leach

735
00:26:43,368 --> 00:26:43,901
fields of sewage that are

736
00:26:43,901 --> 00:26:44,569
potentially coming.

737
00:26:44,569 --> 00:26:45,303
I'm wondering how that's any

738
00:26:45,303 --> 00:26:48,373
better than it just going right

739
00:26:48,373 --> 00:26:49,207
where it is.

740
00:26:49,207 --> 00:26:49,908
Who knows And at least I mean

741
00:26:49,908 --> 00:26:53,477
it's going to come back in

742
00:26:53,477 --> 00:26:53,778
the form of pure water.

743
00:26:53,778 --> 00:26:54,445
Right?

744
00:26:54,445 --> 00:26:55,113
It might taste different a

745
00:26:55,113 --> 00:26:57,215
little bit spicy, who knows?

746
00:26:57,215 --> 00:26:57,816
And then just any surveillance

747
00:26:57,816 --> 00:26:58,650
that you guys need.

748
00:26:58,650 --> 00:26:59,183
I just you know, we can't even

749
00:26:59,183 --> 00:27:01,583
use the lpr, right?

750
00:27:02,719 --> 00:27:03,421
We chase cars to the mall when

751
00:27:03,421 --> 00:27:03,788
they're out shooting people at

752
00:27:03,788 --> 00:27:05,788
a mosque.

753
00:27:07,892 --> 00:27:08,660
But you know, it's good.

754
00:27:08,660 --> 00:27:11,962
Let's get more of them right

755
00:27:11,962 --> 00:27:12,263
and pay the police more for

756
00:27:12,263 --> 00:27:12,931
that.

757
00:27:12,931 --> 00:27:13,797
>> So I don't know.

758
00:27:13,797 --> 00:27:16,934
Just good job you guys doing

759
00:27:16,934 --> 00:27:17,602
good business racketeering and

760
00:27:17,602 --> 00:27:18,305
making sure that people are

761
00:27:18,305 --> 00:27:20,538
being murdered and don't care.

762
00:27:20,538 --> 00:27:20,939
But it's cool what happens in

763
00:27:20,939 --> 00:27:22,939
your parks.

764
00:27:25,910 --> 00:27:26,611
>> Homer Owl good job.

765
00:27:26,611 --> 00:27:27,277

00:27:35,854 --> 00:27:36,421
agenda we currently have eight

772
00:27:36,421 --> 00:27:37,880
speakers in the queue.

773
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,691
Figure applicant on for you.

774
00:27:39,691 --> 00:27:40,257
Yeah there you go.

775
00:27:40,257 --> 00:27:41,126
>> Good morning.

776
00:27:41,126 --> 00:27:43,560
My name is Becky Rapp and I'd

777
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:43,828
like to speak to item number

778
00:27:43,828 --> 00:27:44,429
50.

779
00:27:44,429 --> 00:27:45,960
I support strengthening

780
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,960
enforcement against illegal

781
00:27:48,667 --> 00:27:49,334
marijuana delivery operations

782
00:27:49,334 --> 00:27:50,350
especially when out of town

783
00:27:50,350 --> 00:27:52,435
businesses are delivering into

784
00:27:53,538 --> 00:27:54,139
San Diego without complying

785
00:27:54,139 --> 00:27:54,806
with our local rules.

786
00:27:54,806 --> 00:27:57,206
Businesses that profit from

787
00:27:58,777 --> 00:27:59,476
the San Diego market should be

788
00:27:59,476 --> 00:28:00,145
held to the same standards as

789
00:28:00,145 --> 00:28:03,145
those that have invested in

790
00:28:03,915 --> 00:28:04,315
permits and comply with our

791
00:28:04,315 --> 00:28:04,849
regulations.

792
00:28:04,849 --> 00:28:06,849
Strong penalties are

793
00:28:08,519 --> 00:28:09,119
appropriate when operators

794
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:09,554
choose to ignore those

795
00:28:09,554 --> 00:28:10,880
requirements.

796
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,880
However, I encourage

797
00:28:14,358 --> 00:28:14,693
the council to go a step

798
00:28:14,693 --> 00:28:15,359
further.

799
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:16,940
The same enforcement should

800
00:28:16,940 --> 00:28:18,597
apply to any business operating

801
00:28:18,597 --> 00:28:19,230
within San Diego that is

802
00:28:19,230 --> 00:28:19,865
selling illegal marijuana

803
00:28:19,865 --> 00:28:20,232
products not just delivery

804
00:28:20,232 --> 00:28:22,232
services.

805
00:28:23,301 --> 00:28:24,200
Whether the violation comes

806
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,602
from and from outside the city

807
00:28:28,340 --> 00:28:29,390
or from a storefront or other

808
00:28:29,390 --> 00:28:29,674
business such as a smoke or

809
00:28:29,674 --> 00:28:32,544
vape shop inside our city

810
00:28:32,544 --> 00:28:33,412
limits, the harm is the same.

811
00:28:33,412 --> 00:28:35,812
It reduces consumer protections

812
00:28:37,182 --> 00:28:37,516
and weakens respect for

813
00:28:37,516 --> 00:28:38,250
the law.

814
00:28:38,250 --> 00:28:41,850
If we're going to create strong

815
00:28:42,221 --> 00:28:42,920
penalties and enforcement tools

816
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,520
today then then they should be

817
00:28:46,591 --> 00:28:47,920
applied consistently to all

818
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:47,758
illegal activity.

819
00:28:47,758 --> 00:28:50,158
>> Your time has concluded.

820
00:28:51,731 --> 00:28:52,497
Francine Maxwell If you can

821
00:28:52,497 --> 00:28:53,231
please I'm you and let me know

822
00:28:53,231 --> 00:28:53,597

823
00:28:53,597 --> 00:28:55,597
speak to.

824
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:56,568
>> 51 103.

825
00:28:56,568 --> 00:28:57,350
>> You have two minutes.

826
00:28:57,350 --> 00:28:59,350
Please proceed.

827
00:29:00,638 --> 00:29:01,406
Francine Maxwell Southeastern

828
00:29:01,406 --> 00:29:04,406
San Diego So excited for

829
00:29:04,543 --> 00:29:08,143

00:29:08,413 --> 00:29:09,180
really encouraged I would also

831
00:29:09,180 --> 00:29:09,815
like to make sure that if

832
00:29:09,815 --> 00:29:12,815
someone is throwing a free

833
00:29:14,419 --> 00:29:15,287
helmet giveaway that you look

834
00:29:15,287 --> 00:29:16,154
at our Encanto see our g two

835
00:29:16,154 --> 00:29:19,557
host we have a lot of children

836
00:29:19,557 --> 00:29:20,259
there Grandparent purchased but

837
00:29:20,259 --> 00:29:23,829
did not purchase a helmet and

838
00:29:23,829 --> 00:29:24,630
we want everyone safe.

839
00:29:24,630 --> 00:29:25,363
We want to change those numbers

840
00:29:25,363 --> 00:29:27,763
absolutely at Rabies Children's

841
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:29,767
Hospital for the appointment I

842
00:29:29,767 --> 00:29:32,767
continue to stay excited for

843
00:29:33,472 --> 00:29:34,105
those individuals that serve on

844
00:29:34,105 --> 00:29:34,807
our boards and commissions

845
00:29:34,807 --> 00:29:37,207
which consistently continue to

846
00:29:38,811 --> 00:29:39,344
help our city of San Diego move

847
00:29:39,344 --> 00:29:41,344
and make decisions.

848
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:43,949
I'm hoping that the diocese

849
00:29:43,949 --> 00:29:44,649
will consider every council

850
00:29:44,649 --> 00:29:47,490
office has a newsletter

851
00:29:49,870 --> 00:29:49,788
the same way We're asking you

852
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:53,920
to maybe have a clerk's corner

853
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:53,758
in your newsletter to educate

854
00:29:53,758 --> 00:29:54,460
the community as a whole on

855
00:29:54,460 --> 00:29:57,863
things that they can access in

856
00:29:57,863 --> 00:29:58,497
the clerk's office or even

857
00:29:58,497 --> 00:29:59,398
learn what is happening.

858
00:29:59,398 --> 00:30:02,634
We need to know what's going on

859
00:30:02,634 --> 00:30:03,302
in the boards and commission So

860
00:30:03,302 --> 00:30:04,200
maybe every quarter the city

861
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,602
council can take out a picture

862
00:30:07,639 --> 00:30:08,307
of you handing out a resolution

863
00:30:08,307 --> 00:30:09,410
and put in what is happening

864
00:30:09,410 --> 00:30:12,410
with the boards and commissions

865
00:30:13,450 --> 00:30:13,679
that you've assigned to

866
00:30:13,679 --> 00:30:14,380
community members because

867
00:30:14,380 --> 00:30:17,182
the information and the things

868
00:30:17,182 --> 00:30:17,883
that they work on are just so

869
00:30:17,883 --> 00:30:20,883
important But it's not getting

870
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:22,621
out to the entire community

871
00:30:22,621 --> 00:30:23,389
that they represent Or maybe

872
00:30:23,389 --> 00:30:26,389
there could be a conversation

873
00:30:27,250 --> 00:30:27,727
about boards and commissions

874
00:30:27,727 --> 00:30:30,727
newsletter that can be placed

875
00:30:31,362 --> 00:30:32,130
in all our libraries and all

876
00:30:32,130 --> 00:30:32,832

877
00:30:32,832 --> 00:30:35,832
community members are still wi

878
00:30:35,968 --> 00:30:36,535

registration fees are good but

the fees seem low and it's not

961
00:33:39,652 --> 00:33:40,319
clear if there's a means for

I think we need to recognize

965
00:33:45,825 --> 00:33:48,225
that wherever marijuana is

966
00:33:49,950 --> 00:33:49,796
permitted there will always be

967
00:33:49,796 --> 00:33:50,130
an illegal market undercutting

968
00:33:50,130 --> 00:33:52,130
prices.

969
00:33:54,434 --> 00:33:55,235
That's underscored by the fact

970
00:33:55,235 --> 00:33:58,835
that 40% of sales in our county

971
00:33:59,106 --> 00:33:59,773
currently are illegal.

972
00:33:59,773 --> 00:34:00,439
Illegal deliveries represent

973
00:34:00,439 --> 00:34:04,390
the bulk of those sales and

974
00:34:04,243 --> 00:34:05,110
black market products are

975
00:34:05,110 --> 00:34:07,411
selling at 40 to 50% of

976
00:34:09,449 --> 00:34:10,150
permitted sales prices that all

977
00:34:10,150 --> 00:34:10,884
means that ongoing enforcement

978
00:34:10,884 --> 00:34:13,884
will be crucial but challenging

979
00:34:14,888 --> 00:34:15,521
for the success of this

980
00:34:15,521 --> 00:34:16,189
especially when unlicensed

981
00:34:16,189 --> 00:34:19,189
operators have a history of

982
00:34:20,694 --> 00:34:21,127
popping up, shutting down and

983
00:34:21,127 --> 00:34:23,127
opening again.

984
00:34:25,650 --> 00:34:25,764
This breeds public confusion

985
00:34:25,764 --> 00:34:26,299
and those operators are often

986
00:34:26,299 --> 00:34:26,666
careful about fines.

987
00:34:26,666 --> 00:34:28,666
Thank you.

988
00:34:31,710 --> 00:34:31,771
And that let put this Thank you

989
00:34:31,771 --> 00:34:34,771
Madison If you can please

990
00:34:35,709 --> 00:34:36,510
unmute let me know which item

991
00:34:36,510 --> 00:34:39,613
or items you wish to speak to.

992
00:34:39,613 --> 00:34:40,314
I am speaking to item 50 and I

993
00:34:40,314 --> 00:34:43,314
appreciate the effort in item

994
00:34:44,451 --> 00:34:45,510
50 to strengthen enforcement

995
00:34:45,510 --> 00:34:45,585
against illegal cannabis

996
00:34:45,585 --> 00:34:46,153
delivery operations.

997
00:34:46,153 --> 00:34:46,753
Unauthorized delivery

998
00:34:46,753 --> 00:34:49,153
businesses should not be

999
00:34:49,589 --> 00:34:50,290
allowed to operate outside

1000
00:34:50,290 --> 00:34:50,958
the rules while neighborhoods

1001
00:34:50,958 --> 00:34:54,558
bear the impacts At the same

1002
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:55,729
time I want to express concern

1003
00:34:55,729 --> 00:34:56,396
about the portion of this item

1004
00:34:56,396 --> 00:34:59,396
that creates a new cannabis

1005
00:34:59,533 --> 00:35:00,233
delivery business permit for

1006
00:35:00,233 --> 00:35:00,967
operators delivering into San

1007
00:35:00,967 --> 00:35:03,367
Diego from other jurisdictions.

1008
00:35:05,138 --> 00:35:05,672
The proposed registration fees

1009
00:35:05,672 --> 00:35:06,373
appear very low and

1010
00:35:06,373 --> 00:35:06,940
the ordinance does not appear

1011
00:35:06,940 --> 00:35:08,940
to require meaningful

1012
00:35:09,976 --> 00:35:10,643
verification of the originating

1013
00:35:10,643 --> 00:35:11,278
city's authorization before

1014
00:35:11,278 --> 00:35:11,945
allowing deliveries here I

1015
00:35:11,945 --> 00:35:14,945
believe we should be moving

1016
00:35:15,649 --> 00:35:16,350
towards stronger oversight and

1017
00:35:16,350 --> 00:35:17,170
fewer marijuana businesses in

1018
00:35:17,170 --> 00:35:19,417
our communities not creating

1019
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:21,221
pathways that could make

1020
00:35:21,221 --> 00:35:21,955
expansion easier.

1021
00:35:21,955 --> 00:35:24,355
High potency marijuana products

1022
00:35:26,326 --> 00:35:27,270
are already heavily marketed

1023
00:35:27,270 --> 00:35:27,461
and increasingly normalized to

1024
00:35:27,461 --> 00:35:28,128
young people.

1025
00:35:28,128 --> 00:35:31,728
I ask the Council to ensure

1026
00:35:31,764 --> 00:35:32,331
that any delivery permitting

1027
00:35:32,331 --> 00:35:32,999
system includes robust

1028
00:35:32,999 --> 00:35:34,999
verification and safeguards

1029
00:35:37,370 --> 00:35:37,704
that do not unintentionally

1030
00:35:37,704 --> 00:35:38,272
increase marijuana business

1031
00:35:38,272 --> 00:35:38,705
activity in San Diego.

1032
00:35:38,705 --> 00:35:39,720
>> Thank you.

1033
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:41,720
Thank you.

1034
00:35:42,842 --> 00:35:43,544
Security strain if you can

1035
00:35:43,544 --> 00:35:44,511
please and let me know which

1036
00:35:44,511 --> 00:35:47,815
item or items you wish to speak

1037
00:35:47,815 --> 00:35:48,482
to.

1038
00:35:48,482 --> 00:35:48,949
>> Julia Academy for you.

1039
00:35:48,949 --> 00:35:50,949
There you go.

1040
00:35:52,452 --> 00:35:53,119
Yes.

1041
00:35:53,119 --> 00:35:55,519
Good morning, City Council.

1042
00:35:57,257 --> 00:35:57,591
I came to speak on item 50 on

1043
00:35:57,591 --> 00:35:58,294
consent.

1044
00:35:58,294 --> 00:36:01,294
I support City Council person

1045
00:36:02,596 --> 00:36:03,362
Carpio in his efforts to have

1046
00:36:03,362 --> 00:36:04,164
some idea of who it is that's

1047
00:36:04,164 --> 00:36:07,164
wandering around in our city

1048
00:36:08,869 --> 00:36:09,470
delivering pot when it doesn't

1049
00:36:09,470 --> 00:36:09,870
come from our own retail

1050
00:36:09,870 --> 00:36:11,870
storefront.

1051
00:36:13,439 --> 00:36:13,874
As we know the ordinance is

1052
00:36:13,874 --> 00:36:14,475
three pronged.

1053
00:36:14,475 --> 00:36:15,209
Most importantly it's to

1054
00:36:15,209 --> 00:36:18,209
increase the penalties at least

1055
00:36:18,645 --> 00:36:19,790
from my point of view regarding

1056
00:36:19,790 --> 00:36:19,813
noncompliance.

1057
00:36:19,813 --> 00:36:23,413
And second, it will give others

1058
00:36:24,351 --> 00:36:24,985
the right to sue against this

1059
00:36:24,985 --> 00:36:25,552
illegal cannabis activity

1060
00:36:25,552 --> 00:36:27,952
occurring in our city.

1061
00:36:30,570 --> 00:36:30,723
Three Probably the one that's a

1062
00:36:30,723 --> 00:36:33,723
little problematic to me is

1063
00:36:35,396 --> 00:36:36,163
what this permitting process

1064
00:36:36,163 --> 00:36:36,864
might look for out of towners

1065
00:36:36,864 --> 00:36:37,131
and out of town as they will

1066
00:36:37,131 --> 00:36:37,932
be.

1067
00:36:37,932 --> 00:36:40,932
And we have watched that

1068
00:36:41,801 --> 00:36:42,269
process in Oceanside and no one

1069
00:36:42,269 --> 00:36:42,970
ever registered.

1070
00:36:42,970 --> 00:36:46,570
So reason to be concerned in

1071
00:36:47,407 --> 00:36:47,708
San Diego we might see the same

1072
00:36:47,708 --> 00:36:48,475
thing.

1073
00:36:48,475 --> 00:36:48,842
They figured out how to do it

1074
00:36:48,842 --> 00:36:50,842
illegally.

1075
00:36:52,379 --> 00:36:53,114
They'll just continue that

1076
00:36:53,114 --> 00:36:53,847
enforcement and those fines and

1077
00:36:53,847 --> 00:36:54,248
penalties are going to be a of

1078
00:36:54,248 --> 00:36:56,248
importance.

1079
00:36:57,718 --> 00:36:58,485
Thank you.

1080
00:36:58,485 --> 00:37:01,485
>> Thank you Terry and Skelly,

1081
00:37:03,900 --> 00:37:06,690
if you can please unmute dance.

1082
00:37:09,397 --> 00:37:09,730
Good morning San Diego City

1083
00:37:09,730 --> 00:37:10,367
Council.

1084
00:37:10,367 --> 00:37:13,367
My name is Terrence Kelly.

1085
00:37:13,968 --> 00:37:14,668
I came to support consent item

1086
00:37:14,668 --> 00:37:15,402
15 regarding higher penalties

1087
00:37:15,402 --> 00:37:15,936
for illegal pot deliveries into

1088
00:37:15,936 --> 00:37:18,336
and around our city.

1089
00:37:20,775 --> 00:37:21,475
I appreciate the city's effort

1090
00:37:21,475 --> 00:37:22,209
to know who is selling pot in

1091
00:37:22,209 --> 00:37:25,879
our city and where the pot is

1092
00:37:25,879 --> 00:37:26,580
coming from since they don't

1093
00:37:26,580 --> 00:37:27,314
have a physical location here

1094
00:37:27,314 --> 00:37:27,915
within the city and they are in

1095
00:37:27,915 --> 00:37:29,915
direct competition with

1096
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:32,385
the city's permitted retail

1097
00:37:32,385 --> 00:37:32,787
storefronts that are already

1098
00:37:32,787 --> 00:37:34,787
delivering.

1099
00:37:37,910 --> 00:37:37,758
I realize that the first step

1100
00:37:37,758 --> 00:37:38,920
is to require a registration

1101
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:38,726
process.

1102
00:37:38,726 --> 00:37:41,126
However, our business tax

1103
00:37:42,530 --> 00:37:43,230
certificate is a nominal fee

1104
00:37:43,230 --> 00:37:43,898
and does nothing to contribute

1105
00:37:43,898 --> 00:37:46,898
to the cost of enforcement.

1106
00:37:48,736 --> 00:37:49,437
So I would be most interested

1107
00:37:49,437 --> 00:37:50,171
to see what that fee two

1108
00:37:50,171 --> 00:37:53,171
established by the city manager

1109
00:37:55,142 --> 00:37:55,809
will be and I hope the system

1110
00:37:55,809 --> 00:37:56,444
of fines and penalties will

1111
00:37:56,444 --> 00:37:58,844
enable law enforcement to

1112
00:38:00,915 --> 00:38:01,616
mitigate the dangers that

1113
00:38:01,616 --> 00:38:01,949
unlawful pot delivery vehicles

1114
00:38:01,949 --> 00:38:02,617
create.

1115
00:38:02,617 --> 00:38:05,617
>> Thank you for hearing my

1116
00:38:06,454 --> 00:38:06,854
concerns this morning.

1117
00:38:06,854 --> 00:38:07,521
Thank you.

1118
00:38:07,521 --> 00:38:10,521
Natalie Raskin if you can

1119
00:38:13,728 --> 00:38:16,728
please on your right, Natalie.

1120
00:38:17,664 --> 00:38:18,565
>> Actually I'll speak to one

1121
00:38:18,565 --> 00:38:19,233
or 2 or 3 and one of.

1122
00:38:19,233 --> 00:38:21,633
Listening to the marijuana

1123
00:38:23,403 --> 00:38:24,710
stuff people are acting like

1124
00:38:24,710 --> 00:38:27,671
this that this is not some

1125
00:38:29,544 --> 00:38:30,143
plant that you can just grow in

1126
00:38:30,143 --> 00:38:30,678
your pot in your balcony

1127
00:38:30,678 --> 00:38:33,780
wherever you MAY be.

1128
00:38:35,249 --> 00:38:36,170
It can be grown.

1129
00:38:36,170 --> 00:38:36,684
It's not going to stop growing.

1130
00:38:36,684 --> 00:38:37,418
People aren't going to stop

1131
00:38:37,418 --> 00:38:40,418
smoking pot that it's become

1132
00:38:42,157 --> 00:38:42,824
this every day They call and

1133
00:38:42,824 --> 00:38:46,424
talk about how evil it is.

1134
00:38:47,528 --> 00:38:48,162
Maybe they need to smoke a

1135
00:38:48,162 --> 00:38:48,863
joint themselves but it's

1136
00:38:48,863 --> 00:38:51,933
always going to grow and it's

1137
00:38:51,933 --> 00:38:52,666
always going to be distributed

1138
00:38:52,666 --> 00:38:53,340
1 or 2 The housing Prevention

1139
00:38:53,340 --> 00:38:55,340
Grant Yes.

1140
00:38:57,271 --> 00:38:57,939
I hope this prevents all of

1141
00:38:57,939 --> 00:38:58,640
the hb holders from becoming

1142
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,640
homeless on NOVEMBER 30th with

1143
00:39:03,811 --> 00:39:04,612
the advisory board.

1144
00:39:04,612 --> 00:39:05,346
I agree with one of the callers

1145
00:39:05,346 --> 00:39:06,214
who said it needs to be stated

1146
00:39:06,214 --> 00:39:09,350
or put maybe in libraries or

1147
00:39:09,350 --> 00:39:10,510
other places when they're

1148
00:39:10,510 --> 00:39:10,618
holding these advisory boards

1149
00:39:10,618 --> 00:39:13,618
or committees to be on

1150
00:39:15,356 --> 00:39:16,570
the board just like there's a

1151
00:39:16,570 --> 00:39:19,570
homeless advisory board that I

1152
00:39:22,430 --> 00:39:23,231
was unaware of and I couldn't

1153
00:39:23,231 --> 00:39:23,931
even apply to get on it because

1154
00:39:23,931 --> 00:39:27,531
it's locked on the screens and

1155
00:39:28,636 --> 00:39:29,437
yes to the emergency sewage.

1156
00:39:29,437 --> 00:39:30,138
I don't know how the federal

1157
00:39:30,138 --> 00:39:33,138
government has stepped up and

1158
00:39:34,241 --> 00:39:34,543
made this correct in the first

1159
00:39:34,543 --> 00:39:34,909
place.

1160
00:39:34,909 --> 00:39:35,377
Thank you.

1161
00:39:35,377 --> 00:39:37,377
Thank you, Tony.

1162
00:39:39,647 --> 00:39:40,448
If you can please Daniel and

1163
00:39:40,448 --> 00:39:44,648
let me know which item or items

1164
00:39:46,454 --> 00:39:46,855
you wish to speak to all of

1165
00:39:46,855 --> 00:39:47,321
them please.

1166
00:39:47,321 --> 00:39:47,588
Please proceed.

1167
00:39:47,588 --> 00:39:49,588
Yes.

1168
00:39:51,292 --> 00:39:52,600
I just wanted to start by

1169
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:52,760
saying go reach out to I

1170
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,760
believe his name is Matt.

1171
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:57,665
He was the first person who

1172
00:39:57,665 --> 00:39:58,433
spoke in person but I just

1173
00:39:58,433 --> 00:40:02,604
wanted to say I was very much

1174
00:40:02,604 --> 00:40:03,338
in support of his comments and

1175
00:40:03,338 --> 00:40:04,720
the way that he articulated his

1176
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:04,773
point this morning And I really

1177
00:40:04,773 --> 00:40:07,773
appreciated that And I wanted

1178
00:40:10,111 --> 00:40:10,612
to support Natalie Raskin's

1179
00:40:10,612 --> 00:40:11,346
comments as well.

1180
00:40:11,346 --> 00:40:12,460
Everyone is a it's been growing

1181
00:40:12,460 --> 00:40:14,816
and being used as traditional

1182
00:40:14,816 --> 00:40:15,517
medicine and Chinese culture

1183
00:40:15,517 --> 00:40:16,184
for the last 5000 years People

1184
00:40:16,184 --> 00:40:16,818
have been using it all over

1185
00:40:16,818 --> 00:40:19,818
the planet as a medicine.

1186
00:40:21,861 --> 00:40:22,557
I think we really need to get

1187
00:40:22,557 --> 00:40:23,258
over the marijuana phobia that

1188
00:40:23,258 --> 00:40:23,858
we are and we were exposed to

1189
00:40:23,858 --> 00:40:26,528
when we come to the city

1190
00:40:26,528 --> 00:40:27,295
council meetings every single

1191
00:40:27,295 --> 00:40:31,495
day we hear a new song and

1192
00:40:32,667 --> 00:40:33,568
dance about how this medicine

1193
00:40:33,568 --> 00:40:34,302
that Jack Rare has a bunch of

1194
00:40:34,302 --> 00:40:35,103
science and talked about how we

1195
00:40:35,103 --> 00:40:38,703
could be using it for hemp

1196
00:40:38,973 --> 00:40:39,741
fuels and fiber paper and

1197
00:40:39,741 --> 00:40:42,741
clothes books as an alternative

1198
00:40:45,513 --> 00:40:46,248
as a at the site free organic

1199
00:40:46,248 --> 00:40:49,248
natural alternative You know we

1200
00:40:51,186 --> 00:40:51,853
could cut away with our

1201
00:40:51,853 --> 00:40:52,553
pharmaceutical use got away

1202
00:40:52,553 --> 00:40:56,153
with so many industries but I

1203
00:40:57,192 --> 00:40:57,859
don't support the proposal to

1204
00:40:57,859 --> 00:41:00,259
increase the punishment and

1205
00:41:01,229 --> 00:41:02,970
the tax I don't support item 50

1206
00:41:02,970 --> 00:41:02,763
because I don't want to live in

1207
00:41:02,763 --> 00:41:03,465
this super litigious society

1208
00:41:03,465 --> 00:41:07,650
where the only ones that stand

1209
00:41:09,370 --> 00:41:09,738
to benefit are the lawyers that

1210
00:41:09,738 --> 00:41:10,672
know the law will come to you.

1211
00:41:10,672 --> 00:41:13,809
We already live in a superstate

1212
00:41:13,809 --> 00:41:14,476
stop or society or state

1213
00:41:14,476 --> 00:41:16,876
borders already have enough

1214
00:41:19,748 --> 00:41:20,248
time navigating through society

1215
00:41:20,248 --> 00:41:20,982
,having fun.

1216
00:41:20,982 --> 00:41:21,650
I mean we've really put a

1217
00:41:21,650 --> 00:41:22,384
paywall up for skateboarders

1218
00:41:22,384 --> 00:41:25,821
where you now have to pay to go

1219
00:41:25,821 --> 00:41:26,520
to a skate park and my point is

1220
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:27,189
that there shouldn't be these

1221
00:41:27,189 --> 00:41:29,589
obsessive paywalls and these

1222
00:41:32,940 --> 00:41:32,796
fees and these fines for

1223
00:41:32,796 --> 00:41:33,610
the society that we're living

1224
00:41:33,610 --> 00:41:35,610
in.

1225
00:41:37,432 --> 00:41:38,100
Moving on to the e-bike policy

1226
00:41:38,100 --> 00:41:38,800
,I completely support

1227
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,200
the e-bike regulations because

1228
00:41:43,538 --> 00:41:44,306
they're out of control and and

1229
00:41:44,306 --> 00:41:45,600
kids using them are way too

1230
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,606
young to be going that fast.

1231
00:41:49,430 --> 00:41:49,644
With regard to the trust

1232
00:41:49,644 --> 00:41:52,440
ordinance and the policy

1233
00:41:55,684 --> 00:41:56,284
regarding the fines the grant

1234
00:41:56,284 --> 00:41:56,919
to be spent on homeland

1235
00:41:56,919 --> 00:41:57,552
security to apply for more

1236
00:41:57,552 --> 00:41:59,952
homeland security funds, I

1237
00:42:02,900 --> 00:42:02,758
think it's absolutely absurd.

1238
00:42:02,758 --> 00:42:03,458
We we've closed how many

1239
00:42:03,458 --> 00:42:04,193
homeless shelters we've closed

1240
00:42:04,193 --> 00:42:07,793
how many parks we've closed how

1241
00:42:08,300 --> 00:42:08,630
many library hours and we're

1242
00:42:08,630 --> 00:42:09,364
applying for grants for

1243
00:42:09,364 --> 00:42:12,364
terrorism that doesn't exist in

1244
00:42:13,401 --> 00:42:14,350
San Diego at a time when

1245
00:42:14,350 --> 00:42:14,736
the federal government is

1246
00:42:14,736 --> 00:42:15,370
calling activists terrorists,

1247
00:42:15,370 --> 00:42:17,370
it's freaking ridiculous.

1248
00:42:18,874 --> 00:42:19,541
When is enough enough?

1249
00:42:19,541 --> 00:42:22,541
And this militarism and this

1250
00:42:25,113 --> 00:42:25,581
police oversight with lack of

1251
00:42:25,581 --> 00:42:26,315
accountability.

1252
00:42:26,315 --> 00:42:26,949
I love what Francine was saying

1253
00:42:26,949 --> 00:42:29,949
about we don't have enough

1254
00:42:31,420 --> 00:42:32,210
councilmember members going to

1255
00:42:32,210 --> 00:42:32,654
our commission meetings.

1256
00:42:32,654 --> 00:42:36,158
I go to the cbp meetings.

1257
00:42:36,158 --> 00:42:36,792
I don't see a single one of

1258
00:42:36,792 --> 00:42:37,526
the council members who's

1259
00:42:37,526 --> 00:42:38,160
willing to give all the cpd all

1260
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,760
the toys that they want in

1261
00:42:41,897 --> 00:42:42,798
the world.

1262
00:42:42,798 --> 00:42:43,532
I don't see a single one of you

1263
00:42:43,532 --> 00:42:44,166
showing up to the cpd meetings.

1264
00:42:44,166 --> 00:42:44,700
I don't see a single one.

1265
00:42:44,700 --> 00:42:47,100
You're showing up to

1266
00:42:48,671 --> 00:42:49,571
the privacy advisory Board

1267
00:42:49,571 --> 00:42:50,339
meetings so I would love to see

1268
00:42:50,339 --> 00:42:53,939
a lot more oversight from your

1269
00:42:54,109 --> 00:42:54,810
website and concluded Blair

1270
00:42:54,810 --> 00:42:55,511
Beckman if you can please and

1271
00:42:55,511 --> 00:42:59,515
you and let me know which item

1272
00:42:59,515 --> 00:43:03,715
or items you wish to speak to.

1273
00:43:06,355 --> 00:43:07,223
I can't mute for you.

1274
00:43:07,223 --> 00:43:11,423
I'm willing to move on if you

1275
00:43:12,494 --> 00:43:13,329
can in yourself at this time.

1276
00:43:13,329 --> 00:43:16,732
>> Hi Claire Beckman My zoom is

1277
00:43:16,732 --> 00:43:17,433
cutting out This is life and

1278
00:43:17,433 --> 00:43:17,833
tier one two for me.

1279
00:43:17,833 --> 00:43:18,566
I'm sorry.

1280
00:43:18,566 --> 00:43:22,166
Hopefully I can still be here.

1281
00:43:26,541 --> 00:43:30,141
I wanted to speak on items 52

1282
00:43:31,447 --> 00:43:33,447
100 104 and 500.

1283
00:43:36,986 --> 00:43:37,486
>> Please proceed.

1284
00:43:37,486 --> 00:43:37,853
Is that okay?

1285
00:43:37,853 --> 00:43:38,721
Thank you.

1286
00:43:38,721 --> 00:43:41,657
Thanks That you can hear me

1287
00:43:41,657 --> 00:43:42,391
first about the item 52

1288
00:43:42,391 --> 00:43:42,992
the ambulance transport billing

1289
00:43:42,992 --> 00:43:44,992
and collection services.

1290
00:43:47,830 --> 00:43:48,464
>> I am really concerned about

1291
00:43:48,464 --> 00:43:48,798
the situation with Andrea

1292
00:43:48,798 --> 00:43:49,464
Ebbing.

1293
00:43:49,464 --> 00:43:53,569
She's had to get a rape test

1294
00:43:53,569 --> 00:43:54,270
kit after her ambulance ride

1295
00:43:54,270 --> 00:43:54,637
and her, you know, police

1296
00:43:54,637 --> 00:43:56,637
incident.

1297
00:44:00,309 --> 00:44:01,100
I hope her situation can be

1298
00:44:01,100 --> 00:44:01,677
really looked at with care and

1299
00:44:01,677 --> 00:44:04,677
sensitivity and that we are

1300
00:44:07,149 --> 00:44:07,850
pulling for sure and humanity

1301
00:44:07,850 --> 00:44:08,351
and not for her to be

1302
00:44:08,351 --> 00:44:10,351
institutionalized.

1303
00:44:12,221 --> 00:44:13,220
I think that's a really serious

1304
00:44:13,220 --> 00:44:13,722
problem with that And you guys

1305
00:44:13,722 --> 00:44:17,322
know that And she deserves to

1306
00:44:19,529 --> 00:44:20,162
be living freely and we have to

1307
00:44:20,162 --> 00:44:20,863
talk more clearly on those

1308
00:44:20,863 --> 00:44:21,197
concepts and and be more clear

1309
00:44:21,197 --> 00:44:21,831
on that.

1310
00:44:21,831 --> 00:44:25,667
I could look in all of our

1311
00:44:25,667 --> 00:44:26,369
efforts to understand the city

1312
00:44:26,369 --> 00:44:27,360
better and the ambulance roll

1313
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:27,737
and all of this What was it

1314
00:44:27,737 --> 00:44:28,104
what were they doing with her

1315
00:44:28,104 --> 00:44:30,104
situation?

1316
00:44:31,207 --> 00:44:31,908
What were the police doing?

1317
00:44:31,908 --> 00:44:34,908
Good luck in those efforts.

1318
00:44:36,946 --> 00:44:37,646
Item 100 is our fiscal year

1319
00:44:37,646 --> 00:44:38,800
Urban area Security Initiative

1320
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,800
grant program.

1321
00:44:42,919 --> 00:44:43,619
You guys had this item at a

1322
00:44:43,619 --> 00:44:43,886
committee meeting a few weeks

1323
00:44:43,886 --> 00:44:44,620
ago.

1324
00:44:44,620 --> 00:44:47,620
Quite possibly this item will

1325
00:44:50,159 --> 00:44:50,893
be the San Diego you ask me.

1326
00:44:50,893 --> 00:44:51,694
It was suggested that it could

1327
00:44:51,694 --> 00:44:55,294
appear at public meetings a bit

1328
00:44:55,363 --> 00:44:55,931
more often to describe what

1329
00:44:55,931 --> 00:44:56,298
they're doing in their

1330
00:44:56,298 --> 00:44:56,999
programs.

1331
00:44:56,999 --> 00:45:00,599
They also are at the quarterly

1332
00:45:01,403 --> 00:45:01,971
county San Diego County Office

1333
00:45:01,971 --> 00:45:02,704
of Emergency Services.

1334
00:45:02,704 --> 00:45:06,304
>> So those are two places that

1335
00:45:06,976 --> 00:45:07,676
if we keep U.S. Open and

1336
00:45:07,676 --> 00:45:08,344
accountable and transparent as

1337
00:45:08,344 --> 00:45:11,344
part of the public process,

1338
00:45:13,750 --> 00:45:14,820
we'll be in good shape and they

1339
00:45:14,820 --> 00:45:14,784
need it.

1340
00:45:14,784 --> 00:45:15,251
And if we do that we'll be

1341
00:45:15,251 --> 00:45:15,985
practicing well.

1342
00:45:15,985 --> 00:45:19,122
So really demand that of are

1343
00:45:19,122 --> 00:45:19,588
you saying that we can attend

1344
00:45:19,588 --> 00:45:20,290
their meetings?

1345
00:45:20,290 --> 00:45:20,990
We don't have to be excluded.

1346
00:45:20,990 --> 00:45:24,427
There are ways to attend their

1347
00:45:24,427 --> 00:45:25,228
public meetings.

1348
00:45:25,228 --> 00:45:25,928
I really invite everyone to

1349
00:45:25,928 --> 00:45:26,561
check out what groups like you

1350
00:45:26,561 --> 00:45:30,161
see are doing to our local

1351
00:45:30,733 --> 00:45:31,467
cities and what their role is

1352
00:45:31,467 --> 00:45:32,680
and how you can can contribute

1353
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:32,869
and make ask and demand.

1354
00:45:32,869 --> 00:45:36,469
You have that ability We don't

1355
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:37,139
We don't exercise that very

1356
00:45:37,139 --> 00:45:37,907
well.

1357
00:45:37,907 --> 00:45:41,507
Good luck in those sort of

1358
00:45:42,645 --> 00:45:43,379
efforts about the raw sewage

1359
00:45:43,379 --> 00:45:46,379
issues, solid waste coming from

1360
00:45:48,518 --> 00:45:49,219
Tijuana Councilperson from

1361
00:45:49,219 --> 00:45:49,886
Tijuana is visiting Oceanside

1362
00:45:49,886 --> 00:45:53,486
these days to check out pure

1363
00:45:54,590 --> 00:45:55,291
water systems.

1364
00:45:55,291 --> 00:45:55,992
That's an incredible concept.

1365
00:45:55,992 --> 00:45:56,759
It MAY take 10 or 15 years to

1366
00:45:56,759 --> 00:46:00,960
really work on better but in

1367
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:00,797
the very least we're

1368
00:46:00,797 --> 00:46:01,498
communicating with each other

1369
00:46:01,498 --> 00:46:02,132
Good luck and continuing that

1370
00:46:02,132 --> 00:46:04,532
communication and it just

1371
00:46:07,203 --> 00:46:07,837
stresses the incredible

1372
00:46:07,837 --> 00:46:08,338
importance in working with

1373
00:46:08,338 --> 00:46:10,338
Tijuana even them.

1374
00:46:12,242 --> 00:46:13,420
When we disagree we can be just

1375
00:46:13,420 --> 00:46:13,743
as snobby towards Tijuana as do

1376
00:46:13,743 --> 00:46:14,310
you want to can be towards us

1377
00:46:14,310 --> 00:46:17,310
So good luck and good

1378
00:46:18,181 --> 00:46:19,480
communication is a really good

1379
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:19,816
skill to have for a great area,

1380
00:46:19,816 --> 00:46:24,160
for a great region that we all

1381
00:46:24,354 --> 00:46:25,121
share and about the issues you

1382
00:46:25,121 --> 00:46:28,892
know we just have we've been in

1383
00:46:28,892 --> 00:46:29,225
a state of war for the past two

1384
00:46:29,225 --> 00:46:29,926
decades.

1385
00:46:29,926 --> 00:46:30,627
Good luck that we're learning

1386
00:46:30,627 --> 00:46:30,926
better and better practices of

1387
00:46:30,926 --> 00:46:32,926
peace.

1388
00:46:35,650 --> 00:46:35,799
We're talking about peace of

1389
00:46:35,799 --> 00:46:36,499
our policy making and openness

1390
00:46:36,499 --> 00:46:36,766
and accountability instead of

1391
00:46:36,766 --> 00:46:37,434
war.

1392
00:46:37,434 --> 00:46:40,434
>> That's what your time has

1393
00:46:41,370 --> 00:46:41,705
concluded, Hector, as our final

1394
00:46:41,705 --> 00:46:42,439
speaker, please let me know

1395
00:46:42,439 --> 00:46:42,805
which item or items you wish to

1396
00:46:42,805 --> 00:46:44,805
speak to.

1397
00:46:46,977 --> 00:46:47,277
>> I'll speak to all of them.

1398
00:46:47,277 --> 00:46:47,944
Yeah.

1399
00:46:47,944 --> 00:46:50,944
Thanks for taking my call

1400
00:46:51,647 --> 00:46:52,582
because my my my zoom has been

1401
00:46:52,582 --> 00:46:53,490
going up 3 or 4 times but it

1402
00:46:53,490 --> 00:46:53,783
keeps reloading.

1403
00:46:53,783 --> 00:46:54,317
I'm trying to use it but thanks

1404
00:46:54,317 --> 00:46:56,717
for taking my call.

1405
00:46:58,355 --> 00:46:59,122
Well, on the dog thing it's

1406
00:46:59,122 --> 00:46:59,623
going to be hard to go against

1407
00:46:59,623 --> 00:47:00,157
the drug dealers.

1408
00:47:00,157 --> 00:47:02,557
They're on the side.

1409
00:47:03,693 --> 00:47:04,361
They've already got their

1410
00:47:04,361 --> 00:47:05,950
customers but we've got some

1411
00:47:05,950 --> 00:47:07,495
legitimate businesses trying to

1412
00:47:09,399 --> 00:47:10,267
compete with them.

1413
00:47:10,267 --> 00:47:10,901
But until Trump makes a move on

1414
00:47:10,901 --> 00:47:11,635
the drug dealers big time,

1415
00:47:11,635 --> 00:47:15,235
they're always going to win out

1416
00:47:15,772 --> 00:47:16,640
in the they have cheaper prices

1417
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,710
but you guys are give it a try

1418
00:47:20,710 --> 00:47:21,311
on the ebikes I think we should

1419
00:47:21,311 --> 00:47:21,745
have more enforcement on

1420
00:47:21,745 --> 00:47:23,745
the boardwalk.

1421
00:47:26,817 --> 00:47:27,551
There's always guys flying by

1422
00:47:27,551 --> 00:47:28,151
on the boardwalk in Mission Bay

1423
00:47:28,151 --> 00:47:31,151
and on Mission Beach on

1424
00:47:32,556 --> 00:47:33,190
the ocean side and Bayside

1425
00:47:33,190 --> 00:47:34,240
summer tourist summer Just

1426
00:47:34,240 --> 00:47:37,624
young kids going crazy but that

1427
00:47:39,196 --> 00:47:39,897
could make tickets like $400

1428
00:47:39,897 --> 00:47:43,497
and really stick it to them

1429
00:47:46,770 --> 00:47:47,471
just for e-bike and on

1430
00:47:47,471 --> 00:47:51,710
the sidewalks and the t sewer

1431
00:47:51,508 --> 00:47:52,242
plant We need you to plan

1432
00:47:52,242 --> 00:47:52,876
Forget all these this and that.

1433
00:47:52,876 --> 00:47:55,276
We need a plan.

1434
00:47:56,346 --> 00:47:57,460
We need like six Olympic sized

1435
00:47:57,460 --> 00:47:59,446
swimming pools Basically what

1436
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:02,752
it is to hold the staff and

1437
00:48:02,752 --> 00:48:05,752
create it Super plastic basic

1438
00:48:06,123 --> 00:48:06,757
stuff I worked on one in

1439
00:48:06,757 --> 00:48:07,900
Colorado for two years in

1440
00:48:07,900 --> 00:48:07,991
the 80s.

1441
00:48:07,991 --> 00:48:12,191
I know how they work for their

1442
00:48:12,796 --> 00:48:13,463
basic stuff.

1443
00:48:13,463 --> 00:48:13,730
It's nothing high tech about

1444
00:48:13,730 --> 00:48:14,498
it.

1445
00:48:14,498 --> 00:48:18,201
You know we can do a little bit

1446
00:48:18,201 --> 00:48:18,969
better job of doing the water

1447
00:48:18,969 --> 00:48:23,169
but we can use the water for

1448
00:48:24,708 --> 00:48:25,442
irrigation and that should be a

1449
00:48:25,442 --> 00:48:25,976
number one priority of our city

1450
00:48:25,976 --> 00:48:26,610
even the county too.

1451
00:48:26,610 --> 00:48:29,610
It's it's just it's just

1452
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:31,115
embarrassing, you know, that

1453
00:48:31,115 --> 00:48:31,714
that that's happening and

1454
00:48:31,714 --> 00:48:34,114
the kids are suffering.

1455
00:48:36,153 --> 00:48:36,820
The poor people that live in

1456
00:48:36,820 --> 00:48:37,287
the downwind from that stuff

1457
00:48:37,287 --> 00:48:39,287
it's disgusting.

1458
00:48:41,959 --> 00:48:42,659
And then the grants now I've

1459
00:48:42,659 --> 00:48:45,659
been looking into those block

1460
00:48:48,699 --> 00:48:49,250
cameras They can go super high

1461
00:48:49,250 --> 00:48:49,666
tech.

1462
00:48:49,666 --> 00:48:50,366
They get your license plate,

1463
00:48:50,366 --> 00:48:53,871
they can get they can get

1464
00:48:53,871 --> 00:48:54,571
access to your your bank

1465
00:48:54,571 --> 00:48:55,239
account Everything you bought

1466
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,239
on eBay, everything you ever

1467
00:49:00,311 --> 00:49:01,110
did is getting better for them.

1468
00:49:01,110 --> 00:49:04,110
It's getting better and better

1469
00:49:06,917 --> 00:49:07,618
information so they can just do

1470
00:49:07,618 --> 00:49:08,285
it in a split second too.

1471
00:49:08,285 --> 00:49:11,885
It doesn't take a long time.

1472
00:49:12,693 --> 00:49:13,357
So I think what you pass

1473
00:49:13,357 --> 00:49:14,580
the point of no return like

1474
00:49:14,580 --> 00:49:17,658
five years ago in China they

1475
00:49:19,630 --> 00:49:19,730
got your face if a guy would

1476
00:49:19,730 --> 00:49:20,464
cross jaywalk on the street

1477
00:49:20,464 --> 00:49:24,664
they get his face in the camera

1478
00:49:24,935 --> 00:49:25,603
by the time you cross

1479
00:49:25,603 --> 00:49:26,303
the street and not the other

1480
00:49:26,303 --> 00:49:30,503
side they took the find out of

1481
00:49:30,774 --> 00:49:31,475
his bank account.

1482
00:49:31,475 --> 00:49:32,209
That's how quick it works.

1483
00:49:32,209 --> 00:49:33,420
I'm sure they can do that here.

1484
00:49:33,420 --> 00:49:36,642
They link it to our bank

1485
00:49:37,982 --> 00:49:38,716
accounts and we break the law

1486
00:49:38,716 --> 00:49:39,417
like jaywalking let alone drug.

1487
00:49:39,417 --> 00:49:42,887
The illegal alien is going to

1488
00:49:42,887 --> 00:49:43,621
help with a rapid deportation

1489
00:49:43,621 --> 00:49:47,221
because if you have a face

1490
00:49:49,460 --> 00:49:50,940
facial recognition, if you're

1491
00:49:50,940 --> 00:49:50,795
not in the database you're

1492
00:49:50,795 --> 00:49:51,362
illegal alien and you're time

1493
00:49:51,362 --> 00:49:53,762
has concluded And that

1494
00:49:55,132 --> 00:49:55,466
concludes public comment on

1495
00:49:55,466 --> 00:49:56,200
consent.

1496
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:56,500
Thank you Council PRESIDENT All

1497
00:49:56,500 --> 00:49:57,101

1498
00:49:57,101 --> 00:49:57,802
Thank you to the Court.

1499
00:49:57,802 --> 00:49:58,502
And with that I'll turn it to

1500
00:49:58,502 --> 00:50:01,502
my council colleagues for any

1501
00:50:01,572 --> 00:50:02,240
questions, comments and

1502
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:02,873
entertain a motion and we'll

1503
00:50:02,873 --> 00:50:03,407
start with Council member

1504

1505
00:50:05,743 --> 00:50:06,410
Council PRESIDENT With item 1o2

1506
00:50:06,410 --> 00:50:07,111
The City Council is getting

1507
00:50:07,111 --> 00:50:07,778
approval to spend about six of

1508
00:50:07,778 --> 00:50:10,178
the state's homeless Housing

1509
00:50:11,948 --> 00:50:12,248

1510
00:50:12,248 --> 00:50:12,950
.

1511
00:50:12,950 --> 00:50:13,517
This is the hap funding that

1512
00:50:13,517 --> 00:50:14,151
the city applied for.

1513
00:50:14,151 --> 00:50:16,988
It was awarded last year.

1514
00:50:16,988 --> 00:50:17,455
The city is receiving nearly

1515
00:50:17,455 --> 00:50:18,155
two $6 million.

1516
00:50:18,155 --> 00:50:21,755
It'll be used to help people

1517
00:50:23,127 --> 00:50:23,794
prevent homelessness and also

1518
00:50:23,794 --> 00:50:24,495
help people who have fallen

1519
00:50:24,495 --> 00:50:25,129
into homelessness get back at

1520
00:50:25,129 --> 00:50:25,496
the housing as quickly as

1521
00:50:25,496 --> 00:50:27,496
possible.

1522
00:50:28,766 --> 00:50:29,467
There's also an allocation to

1523
00:50:29,467 --> 00:50:30,167
help homeless youth thanks to

1527
00:50:36,841 --> 00:50:37,407
successfully securing Round six

1528
00:50:37,407 --> 00:50:37,775
hap grant funding from

1529
00:50:37,775 --> 00:50:38,476
the state.

1530
00:50:38,476 --> 00:50:40,878
I also want to thank the Mayor

1531
00:50:40,878 --> 00:50:41,646
for going up to the Sacramento

1532
00:50:41,646 --> 00:50:42,380
to ask for even more money for

1533
00:50:42,380 --> 00:50:46,580
the program for this year and I

1534
00:50:48,152 --> 00:50:48,853
think our local legislative

1535
00:50:48,853 --> 00:50:49,420
delegation to the Governor for

1536
00:50:49,420 --> 00:50:50,154
agreeing to do so and

1537
00:50:50,154 --> 00:50:50,788
increasing that allocation I'll

1538
00:50:50,788 --> 00:50:53,758
make the motion to approve

1539
00:50:53,758 --> 00:50:54,158
the consent agenda.

1540
00:50:54,158 --> 00:50:54,625
All right.

1541
00:50:54,625 --> 00:50:55,359
Thank you, sir.

1542
00:50:55,359 --> 00:50:56,650
So we have a motion by

1543
00:50:56,650 --> 00:50:56,560
Councilmember Whitburn to move

1544
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:57,161
the consent item.

1545
00:50:57,161 --> 00:50:59,597
This will be the next to

1546
00:50:59,597 --> 00:51:00,164
Councilmember Campbell.

1547
00:51:00,164 --> 00:51:00,531
>> Thank you, Council

1548
00:51:00,531 --> 00:51:01,265
PRESIDENT.

1549
00:51:01,265 --> 00:51:05,200
I am happy to second the motion

1550
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:05,703
I approve of all the consent

1551
00:51:05,703 --> 00:51:09,303
items I would like to speak

1552
00:51:10,708 --> 00:51:11,700
about item 51 about the e-bikes

1553
00:51:11,700 --> 00:51:11,875
.

1554
00:51:11,875 --> 00:51:12,643
I want to say a special thank

1555
00:51:12,643 --> 00:51:15,643
you to our State Assembly

1556
00:51:17,115 --> 00:51:17,815
member from San Diego and that

1557
00:51:17,815 --> 00:51:20,815
is Tosha Berner for providing

1558
00:51:22,420 --> 00:51:23,187
us with this new law in

1559
00:51:23,187 --> 00:51:26,787
the state ab 2234 which is a

1560
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:29,694
compromise item And so we have

1561
00:51:29,694 --> 00:51:33,294
the children 12 and up are able

1562
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:36,670
to ride e-bikes number one and

1563
00:51:36,670 --> 00:51:36,467
number two class not number

1564
00:51:36,467 --> 00:51:37,168
three class.

1565
00:51:37,168 --> 00:51:40,168
Of course children always have

1566
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:42,806
to wear their helmets if

1567
00:51:42,806 --> 00:51:43,508
they're on a bike or any bike

1568
00:51:43,508 --> 00:51:46,508
they should on the skateboard.

1569
00:51:47,478 --> 00:51:47,912
Anything they do they should

1570
00:51:47,912 --> 00:51:48,513
wear a helmet.

1571
00:51:48,513 --> 00:51:50,913
This law was necessary.

1572
00:51:53,170 --> 00:51:53,651
It's kind of a pilot study to

1573
00:51:53,651 --> 00:51:54,180
tell you the truth around

1574
00:51:54,180 --> 00:51:56,180
the state.

1575
00:51:57,622 --> 00:51:58,389
It does sunset JANUARY 1st,

1576
00:51:58,389 --> 00:51:59,257
2029 So we will have a couple

1577
00:51:59,257 --> 00:52:02,857
of years of data from around

1578
00:52:03,127 --> 00:52:04,280
the state.

1579
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:04,728
But so far in San Diego we have

1580
00:52:04,728 --> 00:52:07,728
found a tremendous increase in

1581
00:52:09,366 --> 00:52:10,340
emergency rooms in e-bike

1582
00:52:10,340 --> 00:52:10,668
accidents and injuries since

1583
00:52:10,668 --> 00:52:13,680
2021 when they started to

1584
00:52:15,740 --> 00:52:16,441
become very popular.

1585
00:52:16,441 --> 00:52:18,841
Injuries include head trauma,

1586
00:52:21,979 --> 00:52:22,646
drama, torso drama, fractures

1587
00:52:22,646 --> 00:52:23,247
of the ribs, spine fractures

1588
00:52:23,247 --> 00:52:25,247
and extremity fractures.

1589
00:52:28,319 --> 00:52:28,953
So it hits the whole body and

1590
00:52:28,953 --> 00:52:29,620
it's not good for anybody.

1591
00:52:29,620 --> 00:52:30,287
And those of us who are old

1592
00:52:30,287 --> 00:52:33,287
know that all these injuries

1593
00:52:33,524 --> 00:52:34,225
stay with us and really crop up

1594
00:52:34,225 --> 00:52:34,893
once we reach a certain age.

1595
00:52:34,893 --> 00:52:37,893
So it's really important to

1596
00:52:39,597 --> 00:52:40,465
prevent remember Ben Franklin

1597
00:52:40,465 --> 00:52:41,533
of course I'm about as old as

1598
00:52:41,533 --> 00:52:45,970
he was when he was alive but he

1599
00:52:45,970 --> 00:52:46,670
said prevention of an ounce of

1600
00:52:46,670 --> 00:52:50,270
prevention is worth a pound of

1601
00:52:51,176 --> 00:52:51,809
cure And so I think that's what

1602
00:52:51,809 --> 00:52:52,410
Assemblymember Berner was

1603
00:52:52,410 --> 00:52:53,430
trying to help us with.

1604
00:52:53,430 --> 00:52:55,443
Our local collection data

1605
00:52:57,916 --> 00:52:58,616
reflects the growing prevalence

1606
00:52:58,616 --> 00:53:01,616
of e-bike crashes crashes and

1607
00:53:03,154 --> 00:53:03,755
it is a crisis in San Diego

1608
00:53:03,755 --> 00:53:05,755
Police Department data.

1609
00:53:07,826 --> 00:53:08,493
We see that since 2021 e-bike

1610
00:53:08,493 --> 00:53:10,893
accidents that are reported

1611
00:53:13,498 --> 00:53:13,899
have increased four times

1612
00:53:13,899 --> 00:53:15,899
quadrupled.

1613
00:53:18,969 --> 00:53:19,671
There were 23 incidents in 2021

1614
00:53:19,671 --> 00:53:20,338
and now at least 84 incidents

1615
00:53:20,338 --> 00:53:22,738
have been reported for 2025.

1616
00:53:25,770 --> 00:53:25,744
So you can see that improving

1617
00:53:25,744 --> 00:53:26,111
the safety of children is so

1618
00:53:26,111 --> 00:53:28,111
important.

1619
00:53:31,490 --> 00:53:31,917
I think the age restriction is

1620
00:53:31,917 --> 00:53:32,617
too low but I think once we get

1621
00:53:32,617 --> 00:53:36,217
the data from from this study

1622
00:53:37,550 --> 00:53:37,722
or from around the state, we'll

1623
00:53:37,722 --> 00:53:38,357
see that we probably should

1624
00:53:38,357 --> 00:53:38,957
make it 16 and we probably

1625
00:53:38,957 --> 00:53:41,357
should insist they have

1626
00:53:42,561 --> 00:53:43,295
training and a license before

1627
00:53:43,295 --> 00:53:46,295
they ride their e-bikes because

1628
00:53:48,533 --> 00:53:49,340
I see these kids and I use my

1629
00:53:49,340 --> 00:53:49,634
my heart leaps on.

1630
00:53:49,634 --> 00:53:50,334
We're worried about them

1631
00:53:50,334 --> 00:53:53,934
getting hurt And as a family

1632
00:53:54,406 --> 00:53:54,940
doctor it I know better So I

1633
00:53:54,940 --> 00:53:55,941
hope that it helps.

1634
00:53:55,941 --> 00:54:00,479
I want to give a shout out to

1635
00:54:00,479 --> 00:54:00,779
State Senator Catherine Blake

1636
00:54:00,779 --> 00:54:01,746
Speer.

1637
00:54:01,746 --> 00:54:05,717
She is also helping to make us

1638
00:54:05,717 --> 00:54:08,717
safer by proposing Senate Bill

1639
00:54:11,189 --> 00:54:11,757
1167 that addresses emotions

1640
00:54:11,757 --> 00:54:12,490
cycles and puts more

1641
00:54:12,490 --> 00:54:13,910
responsibility on manufacturers

1642
00:54:13,910 --> 00:54:15,910
to differentiate between

1643
00:54:17,529 --> 00:54:18,263
the different classes of

1644
00:54:18,263 --> 00:54:18,864
e-bikes which usually you don't

1645
00:54:18,864 --> 00:54:19,531
even find in the store.

1646
00:54:19,531 --> 00:54:23,101
They don't tell you Oh this

1647
00:54:23,101 --> 00:54:23,902
class three your kid can't

1648
00:54:23,902 --> 00:54:28,102
write it legally but we need to

1649
00:54:28,240 --> 00:54:28,874
know all that and we need to

1650
00:54:28,874 --> 00:54:29,541
have the manufacturers be

1651
00:54:29,541 --> 00:54:31,941
responsible for what they're

1652
00:54:33,478 --> 00:54:34,146
selling and hopefully her

1653
00:54:34,146 --> 00:54:34,846
legislation will advance as

1654
00:54:34,846 --> 00:54:37,846
well to continue to improve

1655
00:54:39,283 --> 00:54:40,452
safety for the riders.

1656
00:54:40,452 --> 00:54:44,652
And I just want to say thank

1657
00:54:45,157 --> 00:54:45,791
you to my colleagues and for

1658
00:54:45,791 --> 00:54:48,191
bringing all these consent

1659
00:54:50,829 --> 00:54:51,529
items forward and to

1660
00:54:51,529 --> 00:54:52,640
the council PRESIDENT And I am

1661
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:54,640
definitely in favor.

1662
00:54:57,202 --> 00:54:57,703
So thank you so much.

1663
00:54:57,703 --> 00:54:58,700
>> All right.

1664
00:54:58,700 --> 00:54:58,804
Thank you.

1665
00:54:58,804 --> 00:54:59,471
And with that we have a motion

1666
00:54:59,471 --> 00:55:00,138
by council member Whipper in

1667
00:55:00,138 --> 00:55:02,975
the second by Council member

1668
00:55:02,975 --> 00:55:03,775
Campbell to move the consent

1669
00:55:03,775 --> 00:55:04,309
items will go next to council

1670
00:55:04,309 --> 00:55:04,843
member Von Wilbert.

1671
00:55:04,843 --> 00:55:05,543
Thank you very much.

1672
00:55:05,543 --> 00:55:08,480
I've spoken to many of these

1673
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:08,881
items previously so I will keep

1674
00:55:08,881 --> 00:55:09,548
this short.

1675
00:55:09,548 --> 00:55:10,216
But on item 51 electric bike

1676
00:55:10,216 --> 00:55:12,616
all electric bicycle safety

1677
00:55:14,687 --> 00:55:15,187
regulations I am pleased to

1678
00:55:15,187 --> 00:55:15,887
support this item.

1679
00:55:15,887 --> 00:55:16,555
As we've seen across San Diego

1680
00:55:16,555 --> 00:55:19,555
there have been a troubling

1681
00:55:19,692 --> 00:55:20,425
increase in serious crashes

1682
00:55:20,425 --> 00:55:21,126
involving high powered electric

1683
00:55:21,126 --> 00:55:23,526
bikes and electric motorcycles

1684
00:55:25,129 --> 00:55:25,764
operated by minors recently in

1685
00:55:25,764 --> 00:55:26,364
Black Mountain and Scripps

1686
00:55:26,364 --> 00:55:28,764
Ranch where young people

1687
00:55:30,736 --> 00:55:31,103
suffered serious injuries or

1688
00:55:31,103 --> 00:55:31,803
injuries.

1689
00:55:31,803 --> 00:55:32,505
We have seen the importance of

1690
00:55:32,505 --> 00:55:33,204
taking a thoughtful look about

1691
00:55:33,204 --> 00:55:35,608
whether our current state laws

1692
00:55:35,608 --> 00:55:36,208
and enforcement tools are

1693
00:55:36,208 --> 00:55:36,875
keeping pace with these

1694
00:55:36,875 --> 00:55:37,509
emerging safety concerns And

1695
00:55:37,509 --> 00:55:40,509
what happened at riding a

1696
00:55:40,779 --> 00:55:41,680
regular bike.

1697
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:45,880
We can still use those two but

1698
00:55:47,219 --> 00:55:47,888
I appreciate the work of a

1699
00:55:47,888 --> 00:55:48,554
council working Pro assembly

1700
00:55:48,554 --> 00:55:49,255
member Tasha Burner, Senator

1701
00:55:49,255 --> 00:55:52,490
Blake Speer and our city staff

1702
00:55:52,490 --> 00:55:53,920
and our partners on this on

1703
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:53,826
item one of three with

1704
00:55:53,826 --> 00:55:56,826
the reappointment to the Senior

1705
00:55:58,129 --> 00:55:58,631
Affairs Advisory Board I'm very

1706
00:55:58,631 --> 00:55:59,265
pleased to appoint

1707
00:55:59,265 --> 00:55:59,965
the reappointment Gwen or

1708
00:55:59,965 --> 00:56:02,868
Hilary to the Senior Officers

1709
00:56:02,868 --> 00:56:03,536

1711
00:56:04,236 --> 00:56:07,236
dedicate a decade of health

1712
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:07,640
care leadership and operational

1713
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:08,273
experience.

1714
00:56:08,273 --> 00:56:08,941
The proven track record of

1715
00:56:08,941 --> 00:56:11,341
managing complex health care

1716
00:56:12,770 --> 00:56:12,745
organizations throughout her

1717
00:56:12,745 --> 00:56:13,412
career she's overseen large

1718
00:56:13,412 --> 00:56:14,460
scale health care operations

1719
00:56:14,460 --> 00:56:16,460
including administering a

1720
00:56:18,117 --> 00:56:18,918
Medicare five star 192 bed long

1721
00:56:18,918 --> 00:56:21,918
term care hospital with a

1722
00:56:22,521 --> 00:56:23,322
budget of $36 million.

1723
00:56:23,322 --> 00:56:23,622
A lot of work that you have

1724
00:56:23,622 --> 00:56:24,423
done.

1725
00:56:24,423 --> 00:56:27,159
You've also founded and led

1726
00:56:27,159 --> 00:56:27,827
nonprofit organizations

1727
00:56:27,827 --> 00:56:28,561
bringing valuable governing

1728
00:56:28,561 --> 00:56:29,261
experience, financial oversight

1729
00:56:29,261 --> 00:56:31,261
and organizational management

1730
00:56:32,465 --> 00:56:33,199
to your role on this board.

1731
00:56:33,199 --> 00:56:33,933
She's also worked to strengthen

1732
00:56:33,933 --> 00:56:36,333
collaboration across the health

1733
00:56:37,136 --> 00:56:37,770
care system by establishing

1734
00:56:37,770 --> 00:56:38,404
eight post-acute care and

1735
00:56:38,404 --> 00:56:39,137
hospital community forums

1736
00:56:39,137 --> 00:56:39,772
demonstrating her commitment to

1737
00:56:39,772 --> 00:56:41,772
improving coordination and

1738
00:56:42,742 --> 00:56:43,509
patient care.

1739
00:56:43,509 --> 00:56:44,110
We are grateful to have your

1740
00:56:44,110 --> 00:56:44,844
experience on the board.

1741
00:56:44,844 --> 00:56:48,444
Thank you for serving again for

1742
00:56:51,500 --> 00:56:51,684
serving your city and with that

1743
00:56:51,684 --> 00:56:52,180
I will support the content

1744
00:56:52,180 --> 00:56:52,385
agenda.

1745
00:56:52,385 --> 00:56:53,190
All right.

1746
00:56:53,190 --> 00:56:54,530
Thank you Council Beaumont

1747
00:56:54,530 --> 00:56:54,487
We'll go next to Council member

1748
00:56:54,487 --> 00:56:55,540
Isla Rivera.

1749
00:56:55,540 --> 00:56:55,721
>> Thank you.

1750
00:56:55,721 --> 00:56:58,721
Also the PRESIDENT Wanted to

1751
00:56:59,225 --> 00:56:59,892
start by just quickly saying

1752
00:56:59,892 --> 00:57:00,559
that items 500 I appreciate

1753
00:57:00,559 --> 00:57:03,929
the work done by the Privacy

1754
00:57:03,929 --> 00:57:06,329
Advisory Board to approve

1755
00:57:08,734 --> 00:57:11,734
the use of this technology.

1756
00:57:12,305 --> 00:57:13,105
I see that that happened on

1757
00:57:13,105 --> 00:57:13,805
APRIL 9th which is why I'll be

1758
00:57:13,805 --> 00:57:16,805
supporting what's in front of

1759
00:57:17,276 --> 00:57:18,511
us today.

1760
00:57:18,511 --> 00:57:21,647
And then I did want to turn to

1761
00:57:21,647 --> 00:57:24,470
item one of two.

1762
00:57:26,252 --> 00:57:26,552
So I don't know if Sara or Kota

1763
00:57:26,552 --> 00:57:27,520
.

1764
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:31,720
I do have a few questions here

1765
00:57:31,958 --> 00:57:32,659
around our acceptance

1766
00:57:32,659 --> 00:57:35,590
appropriation and expanding of

1767
00:57:41,340 --> 00:57:42,168
round six of hap funding.

1768
00:57:42,168 --> 00:57:45,768
>> So I spent some time going

1769
00:57:46,706 --> 00:57:47,407
through the documents here And

1770
00:57:47,407 --> 00:57:47,974
first Sara, as always, thanks

1771
00:57:47,974 --> 00:57:50,974
for all of your work.

1772
00:57:51,277 --> 00:57:51,911
You have a incredibly difficult

1773
00:57:51,911 --> 00:57:54,911
job with not nearly enough

1774
00:57:55,848 --> 00:57:56,549
resources and I want to

1775
00:57:56,549 --> 00:57:59,549
acknowledge that before I get

1776
00:58:00,420 --> 00:58:01,287
into my questions here at

1777
00:58:01,287 --> 00:58:05,487
the table that I am looking at

1778
00:58:10,229 --> 00:58:10,730
for the for the plan is pretty

1779
00:58:10,730 --> 00:58:12,730
light on details.

1780
00:58:15,435 --> 00:58:19,350
It's a simple table labeled Hub

1781
00:58:19,672 --> 00:58:21,672
six funding plan.

1782
00:58:23,910 --> 00:58:24,544
In that table there's a 2.2

1783
00:58:24,544 --> 00:58:26,944
million for prevention and

1784
00:58:28,810 --> 00:58:28,815
shelter diversion and almost 18

1785
00:58:28,815 --> 00:58:29,215
million for operating subsidies

1786
00:58:29,215 --> 00:58:31,215
for housing.

1787
00:58:32,852 --> 00:58:37,520
Can you talk to us about ratio

1788
00:58:37,857 --> 00:58:41,457
there and the choices that fed

1789
00:58:42,128 --> 00:58:42,428
into this being the ratio?

1790
00:58:42,428 --> 00:58:44,428
Sure.

1791
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:47,634
I will point that in

1792
00:58:47,634 --> 00:58:48,368
the presentation that's

1793
00:58:48,368 --> 00:58:51,438
attached to the item There is a

1794
00:58:51,438 --> 00:58:52,238
little bit more detail on each

1795
00:58:52,238 --> 00:58:52,805
of those So it'll be split

1796
00:58:52,805 --> 00:58:53,473
between what sorts of

1797
00:58:53,473 --> 00:58:55,873
prevention and diversion are

1798
00:58:56,443 --> 00:58:57,109
funded along with what interim

1799
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:59,509
housing subsidies there are

1800
00:59:02,215 --> 00:59:02,749
there which is mostly

1801
00:59:02,749 --> 00:59:03,683
the shelter system.

1802
00:59:03,683 --> 00:59:08,483
I will say that for just as is

1803
00:59:08,887 --> 00:59:09,823
is that bullet points under

1804
00:59:09,823 --> 00:59:13,793
each of those because I had a

1805
00:59:13,793 --> 00:59:14,594
difficult time finding

1806
00:59:14,594 --> 00:59:16,994
specifically which programs or

1807
00:59:19,299 --> 00:59:20,000
shelters are being funded with

1808
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,303
um with these hap dollars sure

1809
00:59:23,303 --> 00:59:24,104
would be helpful.

1810
00:59:24,104 --> 00:59:24,438
I run through it really quickly

1811
00:59:24,438 --> 00:59:25,205
sort of.

1812
00:59:25,205 --> 00:59:28,141
So for prevention and shelter

1813
00:59:28,141 --> 00:59:28,807
diversion the city is proposing

1814
00:59:28,807 --> 00:59:29,408
to fund family reunification

1815
00:59:29,408 --> 00:59:31,408
the housing instability

1816
00:59:33,313 --> 00:59:33,880
prevention program and

1817
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:34,581
the Diversion Program.

1818
00:59:34,581 --> 00:59:35,314
That's the new program that we

1819
00:59:35,314 --> 00:59:37,817
discussed about when we brought

1820
00:59:37,817 --> 00:59:38,485
this item before previously for

1821
00:59:38,485 --> 00:59:40,485
operating subsidies, interim

1822
00:59:41,855 --> 00:59:42,489
housing We're funding the 16th

1823
00:59:42,489 --> 00:59:43,157
and Newton Bridge shelter

1824
00:59:43,157 --> 00:59:46,157
the single adult and seniors

1825
00:59:46,826 --> 00:59:47,494
interim shelter for women and

1826
00:59:47,494 --> 00:59:48,228
family shelter the Salvation

1827
00:59:48,228 --> 00:59:51,131
Army Interim Family Shelter and

1828
00:59:51,131 --> 00:59:51,898
the Travelodge family shelter.

1829
00:59:51,898 --> 00:59:52,532
In addition to that, under

1830
00:59:52,532 --> 00:59:53,232
the youth set aside we are

1831
00:59:53,232 --> 00:59:55,632
funding a significant portion

1832
00:59:56,403 --> 00:59:57,203
of our youth shelters within

1833
00:59:57,203 --> 00:59:57,904
the system And then we do have

1834
00:59:57,904 --> 00:59:58,471
administrative costs for both

1835
00:59:58,471 --> 01:00:00,871
the city, the housing

1836
01:00:01,407 --> 01:00:02,700
commission and for each of my

1837
01:00:02,700 --> 01:00:05,700
assets that will go to

1838
01:00:05,912 --> 01:00:06,646
the continuum of care in terms

1839
01:00:06,646 --> 01:00:07,481
of the ratio that you mentioned

1840
01:00:07,481 --> 01:00:11,810
previously, I will say that as

1841
01:00:11,985 --> 01:00:12,653
we do this application we do it

1842
01:00:12,653 --> 01:00:15,456
as a collective unit between

1843
01:00:15,456 --> 01:00:16,123
the city, the county and

1844
01:00:16,123 --> 01:00:16,523
the regional task force for

1845
01:00:16,523 --> 01:00:17,890
the cities.

1846
01:00:17,890 --> 01:00:19,489
The city has proposed

1847
01:00:20,527 --> 01:00:21,261
allocation.

1848
01:00:21,261 --> 01:00:21,927
A large portion of that does

1849
01:00:21,927 --> 01:00:22,563
come from the shelter system

1850
01:00:22,563 --> 01:00:25,131
because it is an eligible

1851
01:00:25,131 --> 01:00:25,965
expense.

1852
01:00:25,965 --> 01:00:29,565
So if you recall at least 50%

1853
01:00:30,237 --> 01:00:30,804
of our hap application needs to

1854
01:00:30,804 --> 01:00:31,171
be for housing focused

1855
01:00:31,171 --> 01:00:33,171
programs.

1856
01:00:34,607 --> 01:00:35,750
Housing focused programs do

1857
01:00:35,750 --> 01:00:35,742
include shelter.

1858
01:00:35,742 --> 01:00:36,409
They do include prevention,

1859
01:00:36,409 --> 01:00:36,743
they would include permanent

1860
01:00:36,743 --> 01:00:38,743
housing.

1861
01:00:39,246 --> 01:00:39,880
But as this fits into

1862
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:40,614
the larger puzzle piece of

1863
01:00:40,614 --> 01:00:44,214
the budget system, this is this

1864
01:00:44,384 --> 01:00:44,718
is the proposal that we came

1865
01:00:44,718 --> 01:00:45,419
forward.

1866
01:00:45,419 --> 01:00:45,986
It only differs very slightly

1867
01:00:45,986 --> 01:00:48,986
from when you saw this

1868
01:00:49,356 --> 01:00:50,190
previously in JANUARY.

1869
01:00:50,190 --> 01:00:50,624
So I would like to touch on

1870
01:00:50,624 --> 01:00:51,358
that for you.

1871
01:00:51,358 --> 01:00:54,494
The one major change is within

1872
01:00:54,494 --> 01:00:55,129
safe parking so safe parking

1873
01:00:55,129 --> 01:00:55,829
was no longer considered a

1874
01:00:55,829 --> 01:00:58,829
housing focused program So we

1875
01:00:59,733 --> 01:01:00,467
did swap out safe parking to

1876
01:01:00,467 --> 01:01:03,467
find additional shelter beds to

1877
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:04,872
kind of meet that match.

1878
01:01:04,872 --> 01:01:05,540
And then also we did make one

1879
01:01:05,540 --> 01:01:08,540
one slight change in funding

1880
01:01:08,675 --> 01:01:09,343
the housing instability

1881
01:01:09,343 --> 01:01:10,430
prevention program to offset

1882
01:01:10,430 --> 01:01:10,710
some of the general fund that

1883
01:01:10,710 --> 01:01:14,310
came out of the final budget

1884
01:01:14,348 --> 01:01:14,647
Council action.

1885
01:01:14,647 --> 01:01:15,150
Right.

1886
01:01:15,150 --> 01:01:17,150
Thank you.

1887
01:01:18,885 --> 01:01:19,654
Appreciate that detail.

1888
01:01:19,654 --> 01:01:22,654
The shelters that are being

1889
01:01:24,900 --> 01:01:27,690
funded, can you talk to us

1890
01:01:28,429 --> 01:01:29,196
about how the success rate of

1891
01:01:29,196 --> 01:01:32,196
placing folks into housing is

1892
01:01:33,567 --> 01:01:34,168
factored into which shelters

1893
01:01:34,168 --> 01:01:34,501
will be funded with that

1894
01:01:34,501 --> 01:01:36,501
dollars?

1895
01:01:38,380 --> 01:01:38,806
>> It's not necessary.

1896
01:01:38,806 --> 01:01:39,406
Lee factored in Each of our

1897
01:01:39,406 --> 01:01:41,406
shelter contracts have

1898
01:01:43,377 --> 01:01:44,110
contracted kind of metrics to

1899
01:01:44,110 --> 01:01:44,811
meet those success rates.

1900
01:01:44,811 --> 01:01:48,382
I don't have those in front of

1901
01:01:48,382 --> 01:01:49,830
me today but it's not

1902
01:01:49,830 --> 01:01:51,483
necessarily a factor Generally

1903
01:01:53,153 --> 01:01:53,854
across the board we see we see

1904
01:01:53,854 --> 01:01:54,521
a similar kind of goal target

1905
01:01:54,521 --> 01:01:57,521
for success rate within our

1906
01:01:58,191 --> 01:01:58,993
shelter system, Right?

1907
01:01:58,993 --> 01:01:59,460
And in that goal target is

1908
01:01:59,460 --> 01:02:01,460
pretty similar.

1909
01:02:02,863 --> 01:02:03,597
The actual rate though and

1910
01:02:03,597 --> 01:02:05,597
obviously different populations

1911
01:02:06,867 --> 01:02:09,267
are different challenges means

1912
01:02:12,439 --> 01:02:14,608
that timeline might look

1913
01:02:14,608 --> 01:02:18,208
different But I do think it's

1914
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:20,948
important for us to have that

1915
01:02:20,948 --> 01:02:23,884
be the goal and thus to hold

1916
01:02:23,884 --> 01:02:26,284
both the providers accountable

1917
01:02:28,722 --> 01:02:31,459
to that goal and ourselves.

1918
01:02:31,459 --> 01:02:35,659
To what extent if at all does

1919
01:02:36,729 --> 01:02:39,729
what we are utilizing this

1920
01:02:41,635 --> 01:02:42,269
round of funding account for

1921
01:02:42,269 --> 01:02:42,937
emergency housing voucher

1922
01:02:42,937 --> 01:02:45,337
program and what's happening

1923
01:02:46,707 --> 01:02:49,707
there this funding other than

1924
01:02:51,312 --> 01:02:52,460
really the diversion funding

1925
01:02:52,460 --> 01:02:52,680
included here and the diversion

1926
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,800
collected with the Housing

1927
01:02:55,648 --> 01:02:56,417
Commission In my opinion would

1928
01:02:56,417 --> 01:02:57,118
be the largest kind of a step

1929
01:02:57,118 --> 01:02:59,518
forward for folks under

1930
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:01,422
the emergency housing voucher

1931
01:03:01,422 --> 01:03:02,156
program.

1932
01:03:02,156 --> 01:03:02,789
If you'd like more information,

1933
01:03:02,789 --> 01:03:03,490
I'd be happy to go back to

1934
01:03:03,490 --> 01:03:06,460
the Housing commission and we

1935
01:03:06,460 --> 01:03:07,128
can we can bring that

1936
01:03:07,128 --> 01:03:09,528
information forward to you.

1937
01:03:10,631 --> 01:03:11,365
>> I'm familiar with I mean I

1938
01:03:11,365 --> 01:03:12,660
think I'm pretty well versed in

1939
01:03:12,660 --> 01:03:14,466
what the Housing commission's

1940
01:03:14,835 --> 01:03:15,903
doing.

1941
01:03:15,903 --> 01:03:20,740
We have and I am glad the city

1942
01:03:20,740 --> 01:03:20,741
invested in prevention and

1943
01:03:20,741 --> 01:03:23,741
diversion in the budget that

1944
01:03:24,811 --> 01:03:25,646
was just approved.

1945
01:03:25,646 --> 01:03:29,846
At the same time we have a

1946
01:03:29,917 --> 01:03:32,317
specific number of very

1947
01:03:34,355 --> 01:03:35,880
vulnerable families that are

1948
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:38,880
going to be losing assistance

1949
01:03:39,293 --> 01:03:39,961
that keeps them housed and it

1950
01:03:39,961 --> 01:03:42,961
would seem important that we

1951
01:03:49,103 --> 01:03:49,770
account for that in the in

1952
01:03:49,770 --> 01:03:50,471
the housing and homelessness

1953
01:03:50,471 --> 01:03:51,105
housing and prevention funding

1954
01:03:51,105 --> 01:03:53,505
that we're receiving from

1955
01:04:01,470 --> 01:04:01,882
the state attorney quickly to

1956
01:04:01,882 --> 01:04:02,817
to round seven if I understand

1957
01:04:02,817 --> 01:04:07,170
it, round seven is going to be

1958
01:04:07,550 --> 01:04:07,755
allocated toward the to

1959
01:04:07,755 --> 01:04:08,488
the same cities that received

1960
01:04:08,488 --> 01:04:11,192
top six funding not necessarily

1961
01:04:11,192 --> 01:04:11,959
the same amounts.

1962
01:04:11,959 --> 01:04:12,459
That's to be determined in a

1963
01:04:12,459 --> 01:04:14,459
couple of months.

1964
01:04:16,197 --> 01:04:17,310
That's correct.

1965
01:04:17,310 --> 01:04:17,731
So the state of California will

1966
01:04:17,731 --> 01:04:20,731
release the notice of funding

1967
01:04:21,436 --> 01:04:22,237
availability for the city along

1968
01:04:22,237 --> 01:04:25,173
with the counties and the Cox

1969
01:04:25,173 --> 01:04:26,400
Hap seven is at 900 million

1970
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,640
right now which is more apples

1971
01:04:30,100 --> 01:04:30,611
to apples than Hap Six was

1972
01:04:30,611 --> 01:04:31,279
funded four So back of

1973
01:04:31,279 --> 01:04:34,279
the napkin math we could

1974
01:04:34,982 --> 01:04:35,649
anticipate anywhere between 26

1975
01:04:35,649 --> 01:04:38,490
and $30 million that however

1976
01:04:39,354 --> 01:04:39,687
that is dependent upon various

1977
01:04:39,687 --> 01:04:40,622
factors.

1978
01:04:40,622 --> 01:04:44,192
A lot of it is of course block

1979
01:04:44,192 --> 01:04:44,892
and formula based and will be

1980
01:04:44,892 --> 01:04:48,229
based upon our point in time

1981
01:04:48,229 --> 01:04:48,596
count across the state.

1982
01:04:48,596 --> 01:04:50,596
Okay.

1983
01:04:53,568 --> 01:04:57,768
The one of the things that I

1984
01:04:58,139 --> 01:04:58,840
was unsure of is whether or not

1985
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,840
so maybe if I'm understanding

1986
01:05:02,777 --> 01:05:03,478
correctly the purpose of

1987
01:05:03,478 --> 01:05:04,110
providing funding to the same

1988
01:05:04,110 --> 01:05:04,611
cities was to reduce

1989
01:05:04,611 --> 01:05:06,611
administrative costs and

1990
01:05:07,515 --> 01:05:08,149
administrative time and getting

1991
01:05:08,149 --> 01:05:11,149
hap $7 out the door making

1992
01:05:12,353 --> 01:05:13,154
the best use of those funds.

1993
01:05:13,154 --> 01:05:15,554
But I didn't necessarily

1994
01:05:15,889 --> 01:05:16,658
understand at least at first

1995
01:05:16,658 --> 01:05:20,258
glance is whether or not we

1996
01:05:21,290 --> 01:05:21,696
will be bound by the way we're

1997
01:05:21,696 --> 01:05:24,696
spending have six funding in

1998
01:05:26,301 --> 01:05:27,100
how we spend app seven No so

1999
01:05:27,100 --> 01:05:29,871
have seven Will We'll still be

2000
01:05:29,871 --> 01:05:30,571
able to allocate help seven

2001
01:05:30,571 --> 01:05:31,206
separately and hap seven will

2002
01:05:31,206 --> 01:05:31,840
still have to come before

2003
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,676
the City Council for us to

2004
01:05:34,676 --> 01:05:35,409
accept appropriate and expended

2005
01:05:35,409 --> 01:05:38,409
the process for the application

2006
01:05:39,470 --> 01:05:39,581
As far as we understand today

2007
01:05:39,581 --> 01:05:40,281
will be slightly

2008
01:05:40,281 --> 01:05:40,982
administratively better where

2009
01:05:40,982 --> 01:05:44,451
instead of an entirely kind of

2010
01:05:44,451 --> 01:05:45,153
new application will be able to

2011
01:05:45,153 --> 01:05:45,920
amend the application But that

2012
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:49,520
does not tie our hands to

2013
01:05:49,624 --> 01:05:50,425
the allocations that you have

2014
01:05:50,425 --> 01:05:51,590
in front of you today And it

2015
01:05:51,590 --> 01:05:51,426
also would require council

2016
01:05:51,426 --> 01:05:53,426
approval.

2017
01:05:53,861 --> 01:05:54,496
Okay.

2018
01:05:54,496 --> 01:05:56,496
I appreciate that.

2019
01:05:59,234 --> 01:06:03,305
So one of the it feels like it

2020
01:06:03,305 --> 01:06:04,720
there's a it's like a rite of

2021
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:07,720
seasonal right of me saying

2022
01:06:08,443 --> 01:06:09,144
that I want to make sure that

2023
01:06:09,144 --> 01:06:12,744
the city council not only has

2024
01:06:12,914 --> 01:06:13,715
an opportunity to approve but

2025
01:06:13,715 --> 01:06:14,416
to weigh in on the application

2026
01:06:14,416 --> 01:06:15,249
and the way that we are going,

2027
01:06:15,249 --> 01:06:17,919
what we are going to be

2028
01:06:17,919 --> 01:06:19,530
pursuing funding for.

2029
01:06:19,530 --> 01:06:23,124
So is there a plan to engage

2030
01:06:23,124 --> 01:06:23,792
the council before

2031
01:06:23,792 --> 01:06:24,492
the application is submitted

2032
01:06:24,492 --> 01:06:25,360
Because at that point in front

2033
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:28,970
of us I'm not going to say no

2034
01:06:28,970 --> 01:06:28,797
to receiving the funds but that

2035
01:06:28,797 --> 01:06:29,497
doesn't necessarily mean that

2036
01:06:29,497 --> 01:06:32,497
the funds that we're pursuing

2037
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:33,768
are being then that doesn't

2038
01:06:33,768 --> 01:06:36,168
necessarily mean that it's

2039
01:06:37,739 --> 01:06:38,340
the it's the best use of

2040
01:06:38,340 --> 01:06:39,700
the funds in my mind or

2041
01:06:39,700 --> 01:06:39,875
the mind of the council And

2042
01:06:39,875 --> 01:06:42,770
maybe it MAY not be but we have

2043
01:06:42,770 --> 01:06:42,777
not necessarily had

2044
01:06:42,777 --> 01:06:43,578
the opportunity to weigh in if

2045
01:06:43,578 --> 01:06:44,212
we don't have a chance to do

2046
01:06:44,212 --> 01:06:46,612
that with the application

2047
01:06:47,150 --> 01:06:47,783
before it's submitted.

2048
01:06:47,783 --> 01:06:48,830
So what will that process look

2049
01:06:48,830 --> 01:06:48,784
like?

2050
01:06:48,784 --> 01:06:51,184
Councilmember my department is

2051
01:06:52,353 --> 01:06:53,540
happy to bring forward our

2052
01:06:53,540 --> 01:06:53,722
proposed allocations similarly

2053
01:06:53,722 --> 01:06:56,792
to what we did with hap six

2054
01:06:56,792 --> 01:06:57,491
prior to actually submitting

2055
01:06:57,491 --> 01:06:58,193
our application and that seems

2056
01:06:58,193 --> 01:07:00,593
agreeable ultimately, you know

2057
01:07:02,497 --> 01:07:03,165
Council PRESIDENT And the Chair

2058
01:07:03,165 --> 01:07:03,865
of the Land Use and Housing

2059
01:07:03,865 --> 01:07:06,265
Committee But certainly my

2060
01:07:07,469 --> 01:07:08,103
preference that we would have

2061
01:07:08,103 --> 01:07:08,770
an opportunity to weigh in

2062
01:07:08,770 --> 01:07:11,170
before that application and

2063
01:07:11,372 --> 01:07:12,140
submitted And then the last

2064
01:07:12,140 --> 01:07:12,941
question I don't see it listed

2065
01:07:12,941 --> 01:07:16,541
here and I didn't hear you

2066
01:07:16,611 --> 01:07:17,145
mention it save camping not

2067
01:07:17,145 --> 01:07:17,612
funded with happens.

2068
01:07:17,612 --> 01:07:19,612
That's correct.

2069
01:07:20,983 --> 01:07:21,683
And is that because they're not

2070
01:07:21,683 --> 01:07:22,317
eligible or just a different

2071
01:07:22,317 --> 01:07:25,317
decision by the city Save

2072
01:07:26,154 --> 01:07:26,788
sleeping is similarly to say

2073
01:07:26,788 --> 01:07:27,523
parking is not considered

2074
01:07:27,523 --> 01:07:29,923
shelter under hud's definitions

2075
01:07:30,459 --> 01:07:31,160
and therefore doesn't qualify

2076
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:31,793
under the 50% necessary to be

2077
01:07:31,793 --> 01:07:33,793
allocated towards housing

2078
01:07:35,230 --> 01:07:35,964
focused solutions.

2079
01:07:35,964 --> 01:07:36,531
So as the three jurisdictions

2080
01:07:36,531 --> 01:07:38,531
collaborated for this

2081
01:07:40,302 --> 01:07:41,300
application we did not include

2082
01:07:41,300 --> 01:07:41,637
anything that would not be

2083
01:07:41,637 --> 01:07:42,371
counted in that category.

2084
01:07:42,371 --> 01:07:45,971
So safe sleeping does not count

2085
01:07:46,475 --> 01:07:47,176
in that category so therefore

2086
01:07:47,176 --> 01:07:47,643
it's not Ed thank you, sir.

2087
01:07:47,643 --> 01:07:48,310
>> Thank you.

2088
01:07:48,310 --> 01:07:50,710
PRESIDENT Sorry Before you

2089
01:07:51,246 --> 01:07:51,947
leaving before I go to

2090
01:07:51,947 --> 01:07:52,514
Councilmember Campo, the No fy

2091
01:07:52,514 --> 01:07:54,514
hasn't been released.

2092
01:07:55,484 --> 01:07:55,884
Do we know what the submittal

2093
01:07:55,884 --> 01:07:56,351
deadline is?

2094
01:07:56,351 --> 01:07:57,510
>> We do not.

2095
01:07:57,510 --> 01:07:59,451
Not to my understanding.

2096
01:08:00,155 --> 01:08:00,856
Okay.

2097
01:08:00,856 --> 01:08:01,490
I'm just thinking about trying

2098
01:08:01,490 --> 01:08:04,490
to respond to the request.

2099
01:08:05,393 --> 01:08:06,950
So if you call my office now

2100
01:08:06,950 --> 01:08:06,829
once that an offer comes out,

2101
01:08:06,829 --> 01:08:07,529
council PRESIDENT Will pull all

2102
01:08:07,529 --> 01:08:09,929
that information together and

2103
01:08:10,299 --> 01:08:10,632
we'll get in touch with your

2104
01:08:10,632 --> 01:08:10,932
office.

2105
01:08:10,932 --> 01:08:11,634
Okay?

2106
01:08:11,634 --> 01:08:12,234
Just determine whether we can

2107
01:08:12,234 --> 01:08:14,570
actually schedule it for

2108
01:08:14,570 --> 01:08:15,270
council or you'll have to have

2109
01:08:15,270 --> 01:08:15,838
individual briefings coming to

2110
01:08:15,838 --> 01:08:16,205
the council meetings.

2111
01:08:16,205 --> 01:08:18,205
All right.

2112
01:08:19,807 --> 01:08:20,542
Thank you very much, Sara.

2113
01:08:20,542 --> 01:08:21,143
>> With that let's go to

2114
01:08:21,143 --> 01:08:21,844
Councilmember Camp here.

2115
01:08:21,844 --> 01:08:23,746
Thank you, Council PRESIDENT.

2116
01:08:23,746 --> 01:08:24,547
I'll keep it brief.

2117
01:08:24,547 --> 01:08:25,114
I want to thank my colleagues

2118
01:08:25,114 --> 01:08:27,116
for their support over

2119
01:08:27,116 --> 01:08:27,782
the previous weeks on item

2120
01:08:27,782 --> 01:08:28,449
5051, the Cannabis Delivery

2121
01:08:28,449 --> 01:08:30,849
Services Business permit and

2122
01:08:32,354 --> 01:08:32,755
the electric bike safety

2123
01:08:32,755 --> 01:08:33,556
regulations.

2124
01:08:33,556 --> 01:08:34,423
But most of all I want to thank

2125
01:08:34,423 --> 01:08:37,626
two staff members who put in

2126
01:08:37,626 --> 01:08:38,227
months and months and even

2127
01:08:38,227 --> 01:08:38,594
years of time into those

2128
01:08:38,594 --> 01:08:39,161
policies.

2129
01:08:39,161 --> 01:08:41,561
Carrie Shaw working on

2130
01:08:41,596 --> 01:08:42,298
the Electric Bicycle Safety

2131
01:08:42,298 --> 01:08:42,898
regulations and Summer Payton

2132
01:08:42,898 --> 01:08:45,298
working on the cannabis

2133
01:08:46,168 --> 01:08:46,836
delivery permit meeting with

2134
01:08:46,836 --> 01:08:47,502
hundreds of stakeholders on

2135
01:08:47,502 --> 01:08:48,237
that and dozens of meetings.

2136
01:08:48,237 --> 01:08:48,938
So I just wanted to give them a

2137
01:08:48,938 --> 01:08:51,941
shout out for their very, very

2138
01:08:51,941 --> 01:08:52,607
good work on getting unanimous

2139
01:08:52,607 --> 01:08:52,975
vote on those So thank you.

2140
01:08:52,975 --> 01:08:54,975
Thank you.

2141
01:08:56,345 --> 01:08:56,846
Council Member Campo Where are

2142
01:08:56,846 --> 01:08:57,445
the pretty faces?

2143
01:08:57,445 --> 01:08:57,880
They're the ones who do

2144
01:08:57,880 --> 01:08:59,880
the hard work.

2145
01:09:00,749 --> 01:09:01,483
They do acknowledge them And

2146
01:09:01,483 --> 01:09:01,817
we'll go back to council member

2147
01:09:01,817 --> 01:09:02,250
Lippert.

2148
01:09:02,250 --> 01:09:02,952
>> Thank you.

2149
01:09:02,952 --> 01:09:05,287
Council PRESIDENT Very briefly

2150
01:09:05,287 --> 01:09:05,988
I just want to thank MR. Ahmed

2151
01:09:05,988 --> 01:09:06,655
for answering the questions in

2152
01:09:06,655 --> 01:09:09,655
regard to the allocations I

2153
01:09:10,359 --> 01:09:10,993
fully support the Council have

2154
01:09:10,993 --> 01:09:11,493
any opportunity to review

2155
01:09:11,493 --> 01:09:13,493
the applications.

2156
01:09:14,563 --> 01:09:15,364
The one thing I would say is

2157
01:09:15,364 --> 01:09:19,564
that when we do that I think

2158
01:09:19,802 --> 01:09:20,535
it'd be helpful to do that at

2159
01:09:20,535 --> 01:09:24,135
the context of the overall city

2160
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:24,940
spending on homelessness

2161
01:09:24,940 --> 01:09:27,940
services because if you just

2162
01:09:28,644 --> 01:09:32,682
look at one slice it could look

2163
01:09:32,682 --> 01:09:33,482
weighted very differently than

2164
01:09:33,482 --> 01:09:34,150
it does when you look at

2165
01:09:34,150 --> 01:09:36,550
the entirety of homelessness

2166
01:09:37,787 --> 01:09:38,620
spending as a whole.

2167
01:09:38,620 --> 01:09:39,254
So I just think that any time

2168
01:09:39,254 --> 01:09:41,654
we're looking at homeless

2169
01:09:42,525 --> 01:09:43,910
spending we should look at it

2170
01:09:43,910 --> 01:09:43,826
in the context of what

2171
01:09:43,826 --> 01:09:44,427
the city's spending is overall.

2172
01:09:44,427 --> 01:09:47,630
That's all I would say.

2173
01:09:47,630 --> 01:09:47,463
Thank you.

2174
01:09:47,463 --> 01:09:48,640
All right.

2175
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:48,431
Thank you, Councilmember

2176
01:09:48,431 --> 01:09:50,431
Whitburn.

2177
01:09:52,435 --> 01:09:53,202
I think a point well taken.

2178
01:09:53,202 --> 01:09:56,202
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee

2179
01:09:56,606 --> 01:09:57,272
then council PRESIDENT I wanted

2180
01:09:57,272 --> 01:09:57,973
to take a moment to

2181
01:09:57,973 --> 01:10:00,643
congratulate MR. Putin for his

2182
01:10:00,643 --> 01:10:01,310
continued service on the senior

2183
01:10:01,310 --> 01:10:03,710
advisory board and certainly

2184
01:10:05,948 --> 01:10:06,648
long history in terms of

2185
01:10:06,648 --> 01:10:07,350
serving the Filipino-American

2186
01:10:07,350 --> 01:10:10,350
community and your service on

2187
01:10:11,220 --> 01:10:11,988
this board has been appreciated

2188
01:10:11,988 --> 01:10:12,588
for quite some time so thank

2189
01:10:12,588 --> 01:10:14,988
you for continuing that.

2190
01:10:16,359 --> 01:10:16,959
And then similar follow up to

2191
01:10:16,959 --> 01:10:17,793
their funding as well.

2192
01:10:17,793 --> 01:10:21,130
I do think we should appreciate

2193
01:10:21,130 --> 01:10:21,798
and acknowledge that the final

2194
01:10:21,798 --> 01:10:22,398
movements on the budget at

2195
01:10:22,398 --> 01:10:23,990
the state level ended up

2196
01:10:23,990 --> 01:10:26,990
trending in a very positive

2197
01:10:26,669 --> 01:10:27,270
direction and increasing those

2198
01:10:27,270 --> 01:10:29,270
dollars because they've

2199
01:10:31,441 --> 01:10:32,275
continued to be at risk.

2200
01:10:32,275 --> 01:10:36,279
It seems like year after year i

2201
01:10:36,279 --> 01:10:36,946
don't feel a strong of a need

2202
01:10:36,946 --> 01:10:37,612
and that's just my feedback.

2203
01:10:37,612 --> 01:10:38,313
Council PRESIDENT To have an

2204
01:10:38,313 --> 01:10:41,217
entire hearing item to review

2205
01:10:41,217 --> 01:10:41,850
the specifics of what we're

2206
01:10:41,850 --> 01:10:42,552
submitting grant wise But

2207
01:10:42,552 --> 01:10:45,488
the details would be helpful.

2208
01:10:45,488 --> 01:10:46,189
So if there was a larger

2209
01:10:46,189 --> 01:10:46,889
discussion around homelessness

2210
01:10:46,889 --> 01:10:50,393
in terms of grant funding, how

2211
01:10:50,393 --> 01:10:51,160
that ties to expenditure is

2212
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:54,864
does feel like we do some of

2213
01:10:54,864 --> 01:10:55,598
that during the budget as well

2214
01:10:55,598 --> 01:10:56,432
But just knowing that docketing

2215
01:10:56,432 --> 01:10:59,936
can be difficult at times just

2216
01:10:59,936 --> 01:11:00,670
want to appreciate how we can

2217
01:11:00,670 --> 01:11:01,204
get information in the best way

2218
01:11:01,204 --> 01:11:01,638
that would help us.

2219
01:11:01,638 --> 01:11:03,638
So thank you.

2220
01:11:04,407 --> 01:11:05,241
Sure Absolutely.

2221
01:11:05,241 --> 01:11:08,544
Well all kind of way that in

2222
01:11:08,544 --> 01:11:09,245
and work with Sara and her team

2223
01:11:09,245 --> 01:11:12,245
and the mayor's office about

2224
01:11:14,517 --> 01:11:15,318
how to navigate that So I don't

2225
01:11:15,318 --> 01:11:18,918
see anybody else in my life

2226
01:11:19,655 --> 01:11:20,357
clearly I don't want to was

2227
01:11:20,357 --> 01:11:21,570
the popular one on the consent

2228
01:11:21,570 --> 01:11:23,860
agenda and offer some closing

2229
01:11:23,860 --> 01:11:24,493
thoughts And I'll start out by

2230
01:11:24,493 --> 01:11:27,493
thanking Sara you and each

2231
01:11:27,864 --> 01:11:28,598
other state team for your work

2232
01:11:28,598 --> 01:11:29,332
in securing the Round six grant

2233
01:11:29,332 --> 01:11:32,932
and your command of what you're

2234
01:11:32,936 --> 01:11:33,638
doing and how you're doing it

2235
01:11:33,638 --> 01:11:36,638
and every little detail about

2236
01:11:37,674 --> 01:11:38,475
it was a good testimony and

2237
01:11:38,475 --> 01:11:41,475
your answers to my colleague

2238
01:11:42,912 --> 01:11:43,546
there.

2239
01:11:43,546 --> 01:11:44,247
The allocated funding for

2240
01:11:44,247 --> 01:11:44,914
the city as well as the county

2241
01:11:44,914 --> 01:11:47,417
and the art efforts through

2242
01:11:47,417 --> 01:11:48,840
the joint application

2243
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:48,785
demonstrates the previously

2244
01:11:48,785 --> 01:11:51,785
ongoing efforts of this region

2245
01:11:52,122 --> 01:11:52,822
to deliver on results and use

2246
01:11:52,822 --> 01:11:53,456
the funding strategically and

2247
01:11:53,456 --> 01:11:54,157
effectively in our city's

2248
01:11:54,157 --> 01:11:57,157
ability to apply this funding.

2249
01:11:57,594 --> 01:11:58,261
Over the past six years is also

2250
01:11:58,261 --> 01:11:58,962
the reason the governor and

2251
01:11:58,962 --> 01:12:01,962
the state legislator agreed on

2252
01:12:02,980 --> 01:12:02,631
full funding for Hap seven in

2253
01:12:02,631 --> 01:12:04,631
the current budget.

2254
01:12:06,368 --> 01:12:07,700
That was certainly a moment to

2255
01:12:07,700 --> 01:12:07,570
celebrate earlier in the state

2256
01:12:07,570 --> 01:12:09,970
budget cycle I had

2257
01:12:11,708 --> 01:12:12,342
the opportunity to join path

2258
01:12:12,342 --> 01:12:13,430
and other housing leaders

2259
01:12:13,430 --> 01:12:13,743
across the state in Sacramento

2260
01:12:13,743 --> 01:12:16,346
to speak to the importance of

2261
01:12:16,346 --> 01:12:17,470
hap and how cities like San

2262
01:12:17,470 --> 01:12:17,781
Diego both use this grant to

2263
01:12:17,781 --> 01:12:20,181
reduce homelessness and provide

2264
01:12:20,951 --> 01:12:21,650
housing as well as leverage

2265
01:12:21,650 --> 01:12:24,500
those dollars with local

2266
01:12:25,989 --> 01:12:26,723
resources And this is what

2267
01:12:26,723 --> 01:12:29,793
we're doing with hap around six

2268
01:12:29,793 --> 01:12:30,493
and I appreciate every effort

2269
01:12:30,493 --> 01:12:33,493
what efforts to maintain this

2270
01:12:34,930 --> 01:12:35,565
grant We have a lot of work to

2271
01:12:35,565 --> 01:12:36,266
do and this grant provides

2272
01:12:36,266 --> 01:12:39,866
the annual funding and I think

2273
01:12:40,470 --> 01:12:41,710
that it goes to speaks to what

2274
01:12:41,710 --> 01:12:41,805
my colleagues refer to.

2275
01:12:41,805 --> 01:12:45,108
The challenge of this is an

2276
01:12:45,108 --> 01:12:45,809
ongoing issue.

2277
01:12:45,809 --> 01:12:48,809
These are people's lives and

2278
01:12:49,746 --> 01:12:50,347
we're trying to create

2279
01:12:50,347 --> 01:12:51,140
sustainable sustainable

2280
01:12:51,140 --> 01:12:54,140
solutions And every year we

2281
01:12:54,918 --> 01:12:55,786
have to apply for those grants

2282
01:12:55,786 --> 01:12:59,589
And even though we have a track

2283
01:12:59,589 --> 01:13:00,289
record of getting those grants,

2284
01:13:00,289 --> 01:13:00,924
the being on pins and needles

2285
01:13:00,924 --> 01:13:03,924
when people's lives are at

2286
01:13:04,161 --> 01:13:05,280
stake makes us so problematic

2287
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:08,431
For now we can be grateful for

2288
01:13:08,431 --> 01:13:09,131
now we can be grateful that we

2289
01:13:09,131 --> 01:13:12,731
have seven will be a bigger

2290
01:13:13,837 --> 01:13:14,537
chunk than Hap six But there is

2291
01:13:14,537 --> 01:13:15,171
a lot more work to do.

2292
01:13:15,171 --> 01:13:15,906
Council member Eli Rivera

2293
01:13:15,906 --> 01:13:18,306
mentioned the emergency housing

2294
01:13:18,374 --> 01:13:19,800
vouchers which is a separate

2295
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:21,800
but important conversation

2296
01:13:22,845 --> 01:13:23,547
about that vulnerability.

2297
01:13:23,547 --> 01:13:26,547
Council member Whipper and I

2298
01:13:27,584 --> 01:13:28,218
talked with Senator Shift about

2299
01:13:28,218 --> 01:13:28,885
the 13,000 units that are

2300
01:13:28,885 --> 01:13:31,285
currently housing units are

2301
01:13:32,189 --> 01:13:32,889
currently under contract and

2302
01:13:32,889 --> 01:13:33,557
whether they will remain under

2303
01:13:33,557 --> 01:13:36,557
contract for the people who

2304
01:13:36,860 --> 01:13:37,628
live there.

2305
01:13:37,628 --> 01:13:38,294
There are so many things that

2306
01:13:38,294 --> 01:13:38,629
require sustainable ongoing

2307
01:13:38,629 --> 01:13:40,629
funding.

2308
01:13:41,698 --> 01:13:42,399
We're not there yet but

2309
01:13:42,399 --> 01:13:45,399
hopefully we can work together

2310
01:13:47,871 --> 01:13:48,639
to get to a better solutions.

2311
01:13:48,639 --> 01:13:49,272
>> And before I call for

2312
01:13:49,272 --> 01:13:52,175
the vote we'll go back to

2313
01:13:52,175 --> 01:13:52,576
Councilmember Eli Rivera one

2314
01:13:52,576 --> 01:13:52,976
more time.

2315
01:13:52,976 --> 01:13:53,477
Thank you.

2316
01:13:53,477 --> 01:13:54,780
Council PRESIDENT.

2317
01:13:54,780 --> 01:13:54,678
I just want to add some

2318
01:13:54,678 --> 01:13:56,678
additional context here.

2319
01:13:57,470 --> 01:13:57,748
I think one of the things that

2320
01:13:57,748 --> 01:14:00,748
I just frankly struggled with

2321
01:14:01,618 --> 01:14:05,818
over the last five and a half

2322
01:14:09,593 --> 01:14:10,293
years is this this idea that

2323
01:14:10,293 --> 01:14:11,161
it's important to recognize

2324
01:14:11,161 --> 01:14:15,361
the work that is being done and

2325
01:14:18,335 --> 01:14:18,936
also simultaneously not for a

2326
01:14:18,936 --> 01:14:19,603
second pretend that I'm

2327
01:14:19,603 --> 01:14:22,300
satisfied with the progress

2328
01:14:23,607 --> 01:14:27,207
that's been made and we only

2329
01:14:27,844 --> 01:14:28,512
get so many bites at the apple

2330
01:14:28,512 --> 01:14:31,682
when it comes to the funding

2331
01:14:31,682 --> 01:14:35,282
that we receive that we receive

2332
01:14:35,919 --> 01:14:36,887
specifically for homelessness

2333
01:14:36,887 --> 01:14:37,521
And I want to make sure that we

2334
01:14:37,521 --> 01:14:40,521
are being as thoughtful as

2335
01:14:41,458 --> 01:14:42,126
possible every single time we

2336
01:14:42,126 --> 01:14:42,892
get that bite of the apple.

2337
01:14:42,892 --> 01:14:46,497
And I'm going to be very frank

2338
01:14:46,497 --> 01:14:50,167
that for those of us who joined

2339
01:14:50,167 --> 01:14:50,868
the council in 2020 and those

2340
01:14:50,868 --> 01:14:53,868
who were already here starting

2341
01:14:54,671 --> 01:14:55,539
in 2018, the administration was

2342
01:14:55,539 --> 01:14:58,842
not nearly open enough with our

2343
01:14:58,842 --> 01:15:01,842
input not feedback but input

2344
01:15:03,681 --> 01:15:04,281
about how we would spend our

2345
01:15:04,281 --> 01:15:04,982
precious resources as it

2346
01:15:04,982 --> 01:15:07,982
relates to homelessness And it

2347
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:13,290
was a tug of war to simply get

2348
01:15:13,290 --> 01:15:14,240
the opportunity for the council

2349
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:14,759
to weigh in before the cake was

2350
01:15:14,759 --> 01:15:17,759
baked And we were essentially

2351
01:15:19,290 --> 01:15:19,296
told Do you want the money or

2352
01:15:19,296 --> 01:15:20,264
not?

2353
01:15:20,264 --> 01:15:23,501
Not how do you want to spend it

2354
01:15:23,501 --> 01:15:26,501
which is the most important

2355
01:15:27,738 --> 01:15:28,720
power that we hold as a council

2356
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:28,906
.

2357
01:15:28,906 --> 01:15:29,707
But will you will we or won't

2358
01:15:29,707 --> 01:15:32,707
we receive it which is

2359
01:15:32,743 --> 01:15:33,310
obviously a choice that we

2360
01:15:33,310 --> 01:15:36,310
would never say no to.

2361
01:15:37,915 --> 01:15:38,649
So that is why I just want to

2362
01:15:38,649 --> 01:15:39,317
provide some additional context

2363
01:15:39,317 --> 01:15:41,786
for why I guard so jealously

2364
01:15:41,786 --> 01:15:42,753
the council's ability to weigh

2365
01:15:42,753 --> 01:15:47,191
in on the front end and if I

2366
01:15:47,191 --> 01:15:47,891
had my way we would be having

2367
01:15:47,891 --> 01:15:48,425
these conversations on a much

2368
01:15:48,425 --> 01:15:49,227
more regular basis.

2369
01:15:49,227 --> 01:15:52,630
But they I recognize they are

2370
01:15:52,630 --> 01:15:54,463
exhausting and challenging But

2371
01:15:56,867 --> 01:15:57,503
the reality is is that despite

2372
01:15:57,503 --> 01:16:00,503
this being a priority for

2373
01:16:01,238 --> 01:16:02,140
the Council, despite the amount

2374
01:16:02,140 --> 01:16:02,907
of time we spent on it, despite

2375
01:16:02,907 --> 01:16:06,609
the way that I know it keeps

2376
01:16:06,609 --> 01:16:07,311
some of us up at night,

2377
01:16:07,311 --> 01:16:08,146
tonight's meeting runs longer.

2378
01:16:08,146 --> 01:16:11,449
We're going to walk out of this

2379
01:16:11,449 --> 01:16:12,830
building and there's going to

2380
01:16:12,830 --> 01:16:12,783
be people sleeping outside

2381
01:16:12,783 --> 01:16:13,417
the doors of City Hall And we

2382
01:16:13,417 --> 01:16:16,453
MAY not like the way that

2383
01:16:16,453 --> 01:16:20,653
that's told to us as a council

2384
01:16:21,359 --> 01:16:22,260
but it is a fact and so long as

2385
01:16:22,260 --> 01:16:24,328
that is the case, I want to

2386
01:16:24,328 --> 01:16:24,996
make sure that we are not

2387
01:16:24,996 --> 01:16:25,630
sacrificing for a second and

2388
01:16:25,630 --> 01:16:26,397
the opportunity we have to

2389
01:16:26,397 --> 01:16:29,397
determine how those dollars are

2390
01:16:30,368 --> 01:16:31,102
spent and whether or not

2391
01:16:31,102 --> 01:16:31,736
they're being spent well And we

2392
01:16:31,736 --> 01:16:34,136
can have that conversation

2393
01:16:34,505 --> 01:16:35,172
without for a second dismissing

2394
01:16:35,172 --> 01:16:37,572
or disrespecting or denying

2395
01:16:39,544 --> 01:16:40,344
the incredible work that city

2396
01:16:40,344 --> 01:16:44,414
staff does on an issue that is

2397
01:16:44,414 --> 01:16:48,140
not their making and far beyond

2398
01:16:48,860 --> 01:16:48,786
any one individual's ability or

2399
01:16:48,786 --> 01:16:49,153
even one city's ability to

2400
01:16:49,153 --> 01:16:49,887
solve for.

2401
01:16:49,887 --> 01:16:53,487
So thank you for the additional

2402
01:16:53,558 --> 01:16:54,225
time Councilor PRESIDENT I just

2403
01:16:54,225 --> 01:16:55,126
wanted to add that context.

2404
01:16:55,126 --> 01:16:58,620
>> No, I appreciate that and I

2405
01:16:58,620 --> 01:16:58,629
think that without drifting too

2406
01:16:58,629 --> 01:17:01,290
far off course that's

2407
01:17:02,233 --> 01:17:02,933
the continuing challenge of

2408
01:17:02,933 --> 01:17:03,634
incremental things that staff

2409
01:17:03,634 --> 01:17:06,634
is responding to deadlines and

2410
01:17:07,105 --> 01:17:07,705
different buckets of money in

2411
01:17:07,705 --> 01:17:08,372
different red tape and

2412
01:17:08,372 --> 01:17:10,372
different bureaucracy where

2413
01:17:12,810 --> 01:17:13,444
it's difficult to grab hold of

2414
01:17:13,444 --> 01:17:14,780
the totality of what we're

2415
01:17:14,780 --> 01:17:17,515
trying to do and what our

2416
01:17:17,515 --> 01:17:18,282
priorities are And then we

2417
01:17:18,282 --> 01:17:21,686
scramble in JUNE to try to make

2418
01:17:21,686 --> 01:17:22,187
sense of the overall budget

2419
01:17:22,187 --> 01:17:22,920
when we've already

2420
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:25,320
predetermined so many decisions

2421
01:17:25,390 --> 01:17:27,390
along the way.

2422
01:17:31,295 --> 01:17:31,596
We can always, always do better

2423
01:17:31,596 --> 01:17:32,397
.

2424
01:17:32,397 --> 01:17:33,980
Okay with that we do have a

2425
01:17:33,980 --> 01:17:33,731
motion by Councilmember Lipper

2426
01:17:33,731 --> 01:17:34,299
and the second by council

2427
01:17:34,299 --> 01:17:36,299
member Campbell Park.

2428
01:17:38,336 --> 01:17:38,903
>> Please call the roll start

2429
01:17:38,903 --> 01:17:41,303
of the voting system.

2430
01:17:43,441 --> 01:17:46,441
Please cast your vote that

2431
01:17:51,182 --> 01:17:51,716
passes eight to that passes

2432
01:17:51,716 --> 01:17:52,830
unanimously 9 to 0.

2433
01:17:52,830 --> 01:17:54,830
Thank you.

2434
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:56,120
Council PRESIDENT.

2435
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:56,621
All right.

2436
01:17:56,621 --> 01:17:56,988
Thank you, Clark.

2437
01:17:56,988 --> 01:17:58,988
Thank you.

2438
01:18:00,859 --> 01:18:01,626
My colleagues.

2439
01:18:01,626 --> 01:18:02,227
Thank you to staff for making

2440
01:18:02,227 --> 01:18:04,227
yourselves available on

2441
01:18:05,997 --> 01:18:06,865
the consent items.

2442
01:18:06,865 --> 01:18:10,468
So before we go to non agenda

2443
01:18:10,468 --> 01:18:11,169
or public comment, are there

2444
01:18:11,169 --> 01:18:11,870
any comments from the mayor's

2445
01:18:11,870 --> 01:18:12,537
office, Council members, City

2446
01:18:12,537 --> 01:18:14,537
attorney Independent budget

2447
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:16,373
analyst or city clerk Not

2448
01:18:16,373 --> 01:18:18,373
seeing anything from

2449
01:18:19,644 --> 01:18:20,245
the mayor's office but we see

2450
01:18:20,245 --> 01:18:20,645
the city clerk is on

2451
01:18:20,645 --> 01:18:21,346
the lights.

2452
01:18:21,346 --> 01:18:23,746
>> Thank you Council PRESIDENT

2453
01:18:24,549 --> 01:18:25,250
I did just want to make an

2454
01:18:25,250 --> 01:18:27,650
additional announcement due to

2455
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:29,788
the changes with organized

2456
01:18:29,788 --> 01:18:30,454
presentations we have found

2457
01:18:30,454 --> 01:18:32,854
capacity and new technology

2458
01:18:34,559 --> 01:18:35,293
assets to be able to also allow

2459
01:18:35,293 --> 01:18:38,293
any individual speakers to also

2460
01:18:39,397 --> 01:18:40,650
be able to submit any organ to

2461
01:18:40,650 --> 01:18:43,650

01:18:48,139 --> 01:18:48,873
diego.Gov/materials two hours

2464
01:18:48,873 --> 01:18:49,574
before the meeting whether they

2465
01:18:49,574 --> 01:18:52,574

all the budgets I've seen how

2568
01:21:23,696 --> 01:21:25,696
it works.

2569
01:21:26,532 --> 01:21:27,233
I created my own companies that

2570
01:21:27,233 --> 01:21:27,933
are employee owned and then I

2571
01:21:27,933 --> 01:21:28,667
created another resource that

2572
01:21:28,667 --> 01:21:32,710
is Let us Empower which is a

2573
01:21:32,710 --> 01:21:32,738

I've been part of everything of

2580
01:21:42,114 --> 01:21:45,617
it and I would like to be heard

2581
01:21:45,617 --> 01:21:46,318
on ways to allocate these

2582
01:21:46,318 --> 01:21:46,952
budget funding, maybe even put

2583
01:21:46,952 --> 01:21:48,952
a partnership sponsorship

2584
01:21:50,623 --> 01:21:51,157
apprenticeship for resources.

2585
01:21:51,157 --> 01:21:51,857
It's a job source.

2586
01:21:51,857 --> 01:21:54,257
I've created the companies

2587
01:21:56,662 --> 01:21:57,396

2654
01:24:00,286 --> 01:24:00,954

2655
01:24:00,954 --> 01:24:04,554

the second will the tabernacle

2658

2659
01:24:10,397 --> 01:24:11,960
all which had the Golden censor

2660

Please read all of Hebrews nine

01:24:19,873 --> 01:24:20,507
I smile when you embrace

2664
01:24:20,507 --> 01:24:24,107
the Holy Bible and read it

2667
01:24:26,279 --> 01:24:28,279
that.

2668
01:24:30,150 --> 01:24:30,917
Looking at the slide here, San

>> GOD bless you all.

2693
01:25:24,570 --> 01:25:25,205
Thank you.

2694
01:25:25,205 --> 01:25:27,605
Next is Taylor Partridge.

2695

If you can please come forward.

2696
01:25:34,347 --> 01:25:35,140
>> Taylor, are you here?

2697
01:25:35,140 --> 01:25:35,315
Taylor Partridge Boy once

2698
01:25:35,315 --> 01:25:37,315
Right.

2699
01:25:38,510 --> 01:25:41,510

2700
01:25:43,824 --> 01:25:44,190
please come forward.

2701
01:25:44,190 --> 01:25:46,190
>> Hi.

2702
01:25:48,829 --> 01:25:49,463
I just wanted to give a big

2703
01:25:49,463 --> 01:25:51,863
thank you to Councilmember

2704
01:25:54,234 --> 01:25:54,901
Campbell for saying that

2705
01:25:54,901 --> 01:25:58,501
the e-bike the e-bikes are a

2706
01:26:00,307 --> 01:26:01,241
crisis because they are And I

2707
01:26:01,241 --> 01:26:05,212
think that we need to be super

2708
01:26:05,212 --> 01:26:08,812
aggressive about a full out ban

2709
01:26:10,984 --> 01:26:13,384
on electric scooters, bicycles

2710
01:26:15,955 --> 01:26:16,656
and on skateboards completely

2711
01:26:16,656 --> 01:26:17,424
ban them on their way to

2712
01:26:17,424 --> 01:26:20,424
dangerous in my opinion they

2713
01:26:22,228 --> 01:26:22,629
actually ruin the sidewalks

2714
01:26:22,629 --> 01:26:23,330
completely.

2715
01:26:23,330 --> 01:26:26,330
The sidewalks don't even feel

2716
01:26:27,834 --> 01:26:28,534
safe to walk down And at all I

2717
01:26:28,534 --> 01:26:30,934
could ban everything electric.

2718
01:26:32,472 --> 01:26:33,240
We could be the first city on

2719
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:33,940
the West Coast to do it And I

2720
01:26:33,940 --> 01:26:34,608
think if we took a vote of

2721
01:26:34,608 --> 01:26:37,800
everyone San Diego everyone

2722
01:26:38,311 --> 01:26:39,120
would support that And San

2723
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:42,612
Diego could be like big heroes

2724
01:26:43,717 --> 01:26:44,417
and they could be said to be

2725
01:26:44,417 --> 01:26:45,118
the first city to do in the us

2726
01:26:45,118 --> 01:26:49,318
And I think we need to be

2727
01:26:49,823 --> 01:26:50,557
supergrass about a full out ban

2728
01:26:50,557 --> 01:26:51,910
on everything electric because

2729
01:26:51,910 --> 01:26:51,792
Oh yeah I'd like for

2730
01:26:51,792 --> 01:26:53,792
Councilmember Campbell saying

2731
01:26:54,761 --> 01:26:55,462
it's also a helmet issue or

2732
01:26:55,462 --> 01:26:56,630
maybe like teens don't want to

2733
01:26:56,630 --> 01:26:59,630
wear helmets They go on

2734
01:27:00,467 --> 01:27:01,368
the bike path where it's safer

2735
01:27:01,368 --> 01:27:02,200
,where a lot of skilled people

2736
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:02,402
live like the one wheeled

2737
01:27:02,402 --> 01:27:03,103
skateboards.

2738
01:27:03,103 --> 01:27:03,570
They'll wear helmets, they'll

2739
01:27:03,570 --> 01:27:05,970
go on the road.

2740
01:27:06,907 --> 01:27:07,608
So if you wanted to do

2741
01:27:07,608 --> 01:27:08,275
something electric you have to

2742
01:27:08,275 --> 01:27:08,842
ride in the road of a helmet

2743
01:27:08,842 --> 01:27:09,543
and in the sidewalks.

2744
01:27:09,543 --> 01:27:12,450
Nothing electric is allowed on

2745
01:27:12,450 --> 01:27:12,913
the sidewalks Pretty basic.

2746
01:27:12,913 --> 01:27:13,414
And then I also want to talk

2747
01:27:13,414 --> 01:27:14,810
about Freemasons.

2748
01:27:14,810 --> 01:27:17,284
There's a song we can help

2749
01:27:17,284 --> 01:27:17,985
people across the planet but in

2750
01:27:17,985 --> 01:27:20,985
every downtown urban center in

2751
01:27:23,257 --> 01:27:23,957
the world there's someone who's

2752
01:27:23,957 --> 01:27:24,658
lonely and isolated and going

2753
01:27:24,658 --> 01:27:25,291
crazy because they can't grasp

2754
01:27:25,291 --> 01:27:28,291
or wrap their mind around

2755
01:27:29,396 --> 01:27:30,970
the fact that someone can read

2756
01:27:30,970 --> 01:27:30,531
your mind and they're becoming

2757
01:27:30,531 --> 01:27:31,265
mentally ill.

2758
01:27:31,265 --> 01:27:34,865
>> And if we send a public

2759
01:27:35,502 --> 01:27:36,203
service announcement across

2760
01:27:36,203 --> 01:27:36,904
the world to let these people

2761
01:27:36,904 --> 01:27:37,571
know that people can read your

2762
01:27:37,571 --> 01:27:40,571
mind on badging and conquer

2763
01:27:41,709 --> 01:27:42,242
rituals and Masonic lodges

2764
01:27:42,242 --> 01:27:43,100
you're not crazy.

2765
01:27:43,100 --> 01:27:43,644
>> In fact that person is evil

2766
01:27:43,644 --> 01:27:45,913
trying to make you crazy.

2767
01:27:45,913 --> 01:27:46,280
We can actually save lives

2768
01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:47,180
allegedly.

2769
01:27:47,180 --> 01:27:50,180
>> If you can please come

2770
01:28:03,230 --> 01:28:03,931
forward first.

2771
01:28:03,931 --> 01:28:06,931
Timothy 610 The love of money

2772
01:28:09,103 --> 01:28:09,770
is the root of all evil And

2773
01:28:09,770 --> 01:28:12,770
it's interesting to hear you

2774
01:28:14,774 --> 01:28:15,509
guys talk about that being your

2775
01:28:15,509 --> 01:28:18,509
favorite item about the funding

2776
01:28:20,948 --> 01:28:21,582
And you know, talking about

2777
01:28:21,582 --> 01:28:21,882
when people's lives are at

2778
01:28:21,882 --> 01:28:22,550
stake.

2779
01:28:22,550 --> 01:28:24,950
>> These are people's lives.

2780
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:27,188
You know, talk about money

2781
01:28:27,188 --> 01:28:27,788
being at risk efforts to

2782
01:28:27,788 --> 01:28:29,788
maintain grants, ongoing

2783
01:28:33,727 --> 01:28:34,228
funding you know, do you want

2784
01:28:34,228 --> 01:28:34,862
the money or not?

2785
01:28:34,862 --> 01:28:37,862
And it's like you're using

2786
01:28:39,533 --> 01:28:40,267
these people's lives And it's

2787
01:28:40,267 --> 01:28:41,100
so sad because I wish you cared

2788
01:28:41,100 --> 01:28:44,601
about those people just as much

2789
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:46,273
as you care about this money

2790
01:28:46,273 --> 01:28:46,974
that you get because like

2791
01:28:46,974 --> 01:28:49,974
you're talking about you walk

2792
01:28:51,912 --> 01:28:52,480
over and you don't like how I

2793
01:28:52,480 --> 01:28:53,347
talk to you about it.

2794
01:28:53,347 --> 01:28:56,347
Well, I like watching that

2795
01:28:57,585 --> 01:28:58,319
really hard.

2796
01:28:58,319 --> 01:28:59,120
It's really hard to listen to

2797
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:02,890
you guys talk like this when I

2798
01:29:02,890 --> 01:29:03,691
come to you year after year and

2799
01:29:03,691 --> 01:29:07,291
tell you about people dying at

2800
01:29:09,430 --> 01:29:10,297
Tent City and then you use them

2801
01:29:10,297 --> 01:29:14,497
as a means to get money and

2802
01:29:19,974 --> 01:29:20,741
it's like how sad is that?

2803
01:29:20,741 --> 01:29:23,741
A man was strangled yesterday

2804
01:29:25,746 --> 01:29:26,414
at Tent City and he's part of

2805
01:29:26,414 --> 01:29:27,114
the lawsuit and people have

2806
01:29:27,114 --> 01:29:30,114
been dying there from fentanyl

2807
01:29:32,530 --> 01:29:32,920
overdoses that don't do

2808
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:36,520
fentanyl And I'm just like what

2809
01:29:37,992 --> 01:29:38,793
the you guys?

2810
01:29:38,793 --> 01:29:41,793
>> You're the ones that are

2811
01:29:43,865 --> 01:29:44,532
supposed to like you have this

2812
01:29:44,532 --> 01:29:46,932
opportunity to do something.

2813
01:29:49,637 --> 01:29:49,936
>> You have the power to do it

2814
01:29:49,936 --> 01:29:50,805
.

2815
01:29:50,805 --> 01:29:55,500
Why do you just walk over them?

2816
01:29:55,877 --> 01:29:56,644
I asked them if they've gotten

2817
01:29:56,644 --> 01:29:57,345
help and they say no and they

2818
01:29:57,345 --> 01:29:58,450
want it And it's like you have

2819
01:29:58,450 --> 01:30:01,645
all these people that are set

2820
01:30:02,617 --> 01:30:03,351
to lose housing and they are

2821
01:30:03,351 --> 01:30:03,951
about to They could die if you

2822
01:30:03,951 --> 01:30:04,652
send them to Tent City.

2823
01:30:04,652 --> 01:30:07,520
>> Thank you for that

2824
01:30:09,457 --> 01:30:10,240
Concluding comments are

2825
01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:10,725
the five minute timer.

2826
01:30:10,725 --> 01:30:11,426
We currently have 11 people in

2827
01:30:11,426 --> 01:30:13,695
the queue starting with Laurie

2828
01:30:13,695 --> 01:30:14,940
on if you can please email.

2829
01:30:14,940 --> 01:30:14,862
Thank you.

2830
01:30:14,862 --> 01:30:15,563
Good morning and thank you for

2831
01:30:15,563 --> 01:30:18,563
instituting the way for people

2832
01:30:20,334 --> 01:30:21,200
to submit documents and other

2833
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:21,636
things before the comment I

2834
01:30:21,636 --> 01:30:24,360
want to address collapsing

2835
01:30:26,641 --> 01:30:27,308
infrastructure and climate

2836
01:30:27,308 --> 01:30:28,900
change in San Diego and also

2837
01:30:28,900 --> 01:30:31,609
the cost of change orders that

2838
01:30:32,447 --> 01:30:33,147
are red increasing that

2839
01:30:33,147 --> 01:30:33,882
the cost for these projects by

2840
01:30:33,882 --> 01:30:36,882
hundreds of billions of dollars

2841
01:30:39,187 --> 01:30:42,787
in coastal areas and by start

2842
01:30:43,825 --> 01:30:44,492
getting over bronchitis there's

2843
01:30:44,492 --> 01:30:45,126
been a 35% increase in costs

2844
01:30:45,126 --> 01:30:45,893
due to higher ground water

2845
01:30:45,893 --> 01:30:49,364
levels around a pure water pump

2846
01:30:49,364 --> 01:30:50,231
station along the river.

2847
01:30:50,231 --> 01:30:50,965
This overall is $1 billion plus

2848
01:30:50,965 --> 01:30:53,965
project which means hundreds of

2849
01:30:54,803 --> 01:30:55,470
millions of dollars in change

2850
01:30:55,470 --> 01:30:57,870
orders for specifically that

2851
01:30:59,941 --> 01:31:00,708
one pump station along Friars

2852
01:31:00,708 --> 01:31:01,443
Road very close to where you're

2853
01:31:01,443 --> 01:31:04,443
proposing to build thousands of

2854
01:31:06,470 --> 01:31:06,748
new homes in the Midway Project

2855
01:31:06,748 --> 01:31:07,348
what I call the Midway Sinking

2856
01:31:07,348 --> 01:31:09,748
project across the river

2857
01:31:11,486 --> 01:31:12,530
adjacent to the San Diego River

2858
01:31:12,530 --> 01:31:12,620
until and unless you

2859
01:31:12,620 --> 01:31:13,154
investigate changes in

2860
01:31:13,154 --> 01:31:13,854
groundwater in these

2861
01:31:13,854 --> 01:31:16,254
communities, the citizens will

2862
01:31:18,930 --> 01:31:18,760
continue to put more taxpayer

2863
01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:19,427
money into addressing these

2864
01:31:19,427 --> 01:31:22,427
change orders and they will

2865
01:31:23,998 --> 01:31:24,332
also have to pay for emergency

2866
01:31:24,332 --> 01:31:25,330
repairs.

2867
01:31:25,330 --> 01:31:25,634
And one company in particular

2868
01:31:25,634 --> 01:31:25,967
has received almost $100

2869
01:31:25,967 --> 01:31:27,967
million.

2870
01:31:30,137 --> 01:31:30,738
This is the Katz Construction.

2871
01:31:30,738 --> 01:31:31,439
They have received these

2872
01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:33,839
emergency change orders close

2873
01:31:35,543 --> 01:31:36,111
to $100 million now because

2874
01:31:36,111 --> 01:31:36,777
the city is simply not

2875
01:31:36,777 --> 01:31:39,777
evaluating the risk of these

2876
01:31:42,383 --> 01:31:42,984
coastal communities.

2877
01:31:42,984 --> 01:31:43,685
High tides are routinely

2878
01:31:43,685 --> 01:31:44,452
flooding Mission Bay and very

2879
01:31:44,452 --> 01:31:48,520
soon we will have El Nino

2880
01:31:48,790 --> 01:31:49,324
driven storms pushing those

2881
01:31:49,324 --> 01:31:49,758
tides even more into

2882
01:31:49,758 --> 01:31:50,392
the community.

2883
01:31:50,392 --> 01:31:52,792
These the floodwaters are

2884
01:31:54,830 --> 01:31:55,397
reaching the streets,

2885
01:31:55,397 --> 01:31:56,131
the alleyways and soon

2886
01:31:56,131 --> 01:31:59,801
the homes in this beach and any

2887
01:31:59,801 --> 01:32:00,402
high tide you simply go down to

2888
01:32:00,402 --> 01:32:01,102
those areas and you see

2889
01:32:01,102 --> 01:32:04,702
the tides are going up through

2890
01:32:06,700 --> 01:32:06,674
the storm drains that are

2891
01:32:06,674 --> 01:32:07,108
supposed to drain water away

2892
01:32:07,108 --> 01:32:07,676
from the land.

2893
01:32:07,676 --> 01:32:10,760
Sea level is changing.

2894
01:32:12,347 --> 01:32:13,115
Groundwater is changing.

2895
01:32:13,115 --> 01:32:13,715
Our communities are sinking.

2896
01:32:13,715 --> 01:32:14,416
Please investigate these

2897
01:32:14,416 --> 01:32:17,416
changes before you spend more

2898
01:32:18,819 --> 01:32:19,388
money on change orders.

2899
01:32:19,388 --> 01:32:19,955
>> Thank you.

2900
01:32:19,955 --> 01:32:22,355
Next is Becky Rapp.

2901
01:32:24,459 --> 01:32:24,960
If you can please unmute.

2902
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:26,960
>> Good morning.

2903
01:32:30,198 --> 01:32:30,999
My name is Becky Rapp and today

2904
01:32:30,999 --> 01:32:31,667
I'd like to share data provided

2905
01:32:31,667 --> 01:32:32,267
in San Diego County Cannabis

2906
01:32:32,267 --> 01:32:32,601
Public Health Initiative

2907
01:32:32,601 --> 01:32:34,601
Report.

2908
01:32:37,105 --> 01:32:37,773
The data in the 2025 report

2909
01:32:37,773 --> 01:32:38,407
makes one thing very clear.

2910
01:32:38,407 --> 01:32:40,807
We're seeing increases in

2911
01:32:42,711 --> 01:32:43,345
cannabis related emergency

2912
01:32:43,345 --> 01:32:44,120
department visits, poison

2913
01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:44,546
control calls, highly potent

2914
01:32:44,546 --> 01:32:46,546
products, synthetic

2915
01:32:48,916 --> 01:32:49,550
cannabinoids and new forms of

2916
01:32:49,550 --> 01:32:50,118
access that simply did not

2917
01:32:50,118 --> 01:32:53,118
exist a few years ago.

2918
01:32:54,489 --> 01:32:55,224
Perhaps the most concerning is

2919
01:32:55,224 --> 01:32:55,857
that many young people still

2920
01:32:55,857 --> 01:32:56,525
don't recognize the risks.

2921
01:32:56,525 --> 01:32:58,925
A significant percentage of

2922
01:33:01,463 --> 01:33:02,970
students report believing that

2923
01:33:02,970 --> 01:33:02,431
daily marijuana use is not

2924
01:33:02,431 --> 01:33:03,970
harmful.

2925
01:33:03,970 --> 01:33:05,497
While justice involved youth

2926
01:33:07,302 --> 01:33:07,970
continued to report early

2927
01:33:07,970 --> 01:33:10,370
initiation, frequent use and

2928
01:33:12,974 --> 01:33:13,575
easy easy access that tells us

2929
01:33:13,575 --> 01:33:14,276
education and prevention

2930
01:33:14,276 --> 01:33:14,610
efforts are still desperately

2931
01:33:14,610 --> 01:33:16,610
needed.

2932
01:33:18,747 --> 01:33:19,481
We also need to be honest about

2933
01:33:19,481 --> 01:33:20,182
what we're talking about today.

2934
01:33:20,182 --> 01:33:20,849
This is not the marijuana many

2935
01:33:20,849 --> 01:33:21,116
people remember from decades

2936
01:33:21,116 --> 01:33:23,116
ago.

2937
01:33:25,870 --> 01:33:25,788
This is not simply a plant

2938
01:33:25,788 --> 01:33:26,121
growing in a pot on our

2939
01:33:26,121 --> 01:33:26,755
balcony.

2940
01:33:26,755 --> 01:33:28,755
Today's cannabis includes

2941
01:33:31,193 --> 01:33:31,859
highly concentrated thc

2942
01:33:31,859 --> 01:33:32,494
products, vapes edibles and

2943
01:33:32,494 --> 01:33:33,161
other products designed to

2944
01:33:33,161 --> 01:33:35,561
deliver much stronger doses

2945
01:33:37,310 --> 01:33:37,432
than previous generations

2946
01:33:37,432 --> 01:33:38,133
experienced.

2947
01:33:38,133 --> 01:33:38,834
The potency and accessibility

2948
01:33:38,834 --> 01:33:41,834
of these products have changed

2949
01:33:43,906 --> 01:33:44,406
and our prevention efforts must

2950
01:33:44,406 --> 01:33:44,973
change with them.

2951
01:33:44,973 --> 01:33:45,641
We also cannot ignore

2952
01:33:45,641 --> 01:33:46,750
the mental health impacts on

2953
01:33:46,750 --> 01:33:48,750
young people.

2954
01:33:49,745 --> 01:33:50,412
Adolescence is a critical

2955
01:33:50,412 --> 01:33:51,113
period of brain development.

2956
01:33:51,113 --> 01:33:51,714
And research continues to show

2957
01:33:51,714 --> 01:33:54,114
that early and frequent

2958
01:33:56,850 --> 01:33:56,752
marijuana use can affect

2959
01:33:56,752 --> 01:33:57,353
attention, memory, learning,

2960
01:33:57,353 --> 01:33:58,870
motivation and emotional

2961
01:33:58,870 --> 01:34:00,487
well-being especially those who

2962
01:34:01,557 --> 01:34:02,324
are already vulnerable.

2963
01:34:02,324 --> 01:34:03,240
It can increase the risk of

2964
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:05,240
anxiety, depression, psychosis

2965
01:34:08,197 --> 01:34:08,597
and other serious mental health

2966
01:34:08,597 --> 01:34:09,265
challenges.

2967
01:34:09,265 --> 01:34:09,965
At a time when youth mental

2968
01:34:09,965 --> 01:34:12,965
health concerns are already at

2969
01:34:14,303 --> 01:34:14,970
historic levels, we must take

2970
01:34:14,970 --> 01:34:15,604
every opportunity to educate

2971
01:34:15,604 --> 01:34:18,400
and protect our children.

2972
01:34:19,808 --> 01:34:20,476
The data has been provided

2973
01:34:20,476 --> 01:34:21,100
local current data impacting

2974
01:34:21,100 --> 01:34:21,443
our communities and

2975
01:34:21,443 --> 01:34:23,443
neighborhoods.

2976
01:34:26,315 --> 01:34:26,982
We have an opportunity and a

2977
01:34:26,982 --> 01:34:27,716
responsibility to act before

2978
01:34:27,716 --> 01:34:30,716
these problems become even more

2979
01:34:31,487 --> 01:34:32,188
difficult.

2980
01:34:32,188 --> 01:34:34,588
Concluded Kathleen Lippert, if

2981
01:34:37,258 --> 01:34:37,727
you can please and you.

2982
01:34:37,727 --> 01:34:38,294
>> Thank you.

2983
01:34:38,294 --> 01:34:40,294
Good morning Council.

2984
01:34:43,566 --> 01:34:44,199
As a prevention policy advocate

2985
01:34:44,199 --> 01:34:44,834
getting elected to support

2986
01:34:44,834 --> 01:34:46,834
prevention strategies its

2987
01:34:49,472 --> 01:34:50,390
challenges unnecessarily

2988
01:34:50,390 --> 01:34:50,639
challenging with local

2989
01:34:50,639 --> 01:34:51,273
government officials and

2990
01:34:51,273 --> 01:34:53,673
sometimes with the public

2991
01:34:55,411 --> 01:34:55,911
because their outcomes are not

2992
01:34:55,911 --> 01:34:56,578
immediately seen.

2993
01:34:56,578 --> 01:34:57,246
But no other strategy for

2994
01:34:57,246 --> 01:34:59,646
addressing public health and

2995
01:35:02,840 --> 01:35:02,585
safety challenges works better

2996
01:35:02,585 --> 01:35:03,285
for their efficacy

2997
01:35:03,285 --> 01:35:05,285
sustainability and economics.

2998
01:35:07,623 --> 01:35:08,190
>> Having the failures of harm

2999
01:35:08,190 --> 01:35:08,824
reduction policies and

3000
01:35:08,824 --> 01:35:10,824
ineffective city policies

3001
01:35:13,629 --> 01:35:14,296
influenced by addiction

3002
01:35:14,296 --> 01:35:14,997
industries point out to city

3003
01:35:14,997 --> 01:35:17,397
elected officials they're not

3004
01:35:19,702 --> 01:35:20,269
appreciated.

3005
01:35:20,269 --> 01:35:20,870
That's understandable.

3006
01:35:20,870 --> 01:35:21,504
None of us enjoy being

3007
01:35:21,504 --> 01:35:23,904
criticized But instead of

3008
01:35:25,908 --> 01:35:26,642
ignoring the words of those

3009
01:35:26,642 --> 01:35:27,342
whose heartfelt concerns prompt

3010
01:35:27,342 --> 01:35:28,760
them to be repetitive, please

3011
01:35:28,760 --> 01:35:31,676
consider what they have to say.

3012
01:35:33,516 --> 01:35:34,117
Andre is one of those whose

3013
01:35:34,117 --> 01:35:34,717
passion for the homeless

3014
01:35:34,717 --> 01:35:36,717
motivates her intrepid,

3015
01:35:38,387 --> 01:35:39,121
conscientious undaunted effort

3016
01:35:39,121 --> 01:35:39,888
to shine a light on preventable

3017
01:35:39,888 --> 01:35:44,880
deaths of those who end up in

3018
01:35:44,127 --> 01:35:44,727
homeless shelters encampments,

3019
01:35:44,727 --> 01:35:47,727
tents or on our street.

3020
01:35:48,965 --> 01:35:49,632
Kelly Davis was a similar voice

3021
01:35:49,632 --> 01:35:50,298
who spent three decades to

3022
01:35:50,298 --> 01:35:50,933
prevent those in our prisons

3023
01:35:50,933 --> 01:35:52,933
from dying unnecessarily.

3024
01:35:55,838 --> 01:35:56,472
Although the jails should be

3025
01:35:56,472 --> 01:35:57,105
one of the most controlled

3026
01:35:57,105 --> 01:35:59,505
environments, it remains a

3027
01:36:01,277 --> 01:36:01,611
mystery as to why they are not

3028
01:36:01,611 --> 01:36:02,311
.

3029
01:36:02,311 --> 01:36:02,945
There seems to be no good

3030
01:36:02,945 --> 01:36:03,578
reason why drugs, weapons

3031
01:36:03,578 --> 01:36:06,578
suicides take place in our

3032
01:36:08,216 --> 01:36:08,851
jails and prisons.

3033
01:36:08,851 --> 01:36:09,485
Davis spent three decades

3034
01:36:09,485 --> 01:36:12,485
shining this light and she

3035
01:36:13,923 --> 01:36:14,257
could bring attention to their

3036
01:36:14,257 --> 01:36:14,924
plight.

3037
01:36:14,924 --> 01:36:15,625
In a touching tribute to her

3038
01:36:15,625 --> 01:36:18,625
efforts, the families of those

3039
01:36:20,496 --> 01:36:21,197
whose loved ones passed away in

3040
01:36:21,197 --> 01:36:24,197
jails attended her funeral to

3041
01:36:26,102 --> 01:36:26,769
pay their respects.

3042
01:36:26,769 --> 01:36:27,470
We lost a powerful and

3043
01:36:27,470 --> 01:36:28,271
principled voice on behalf of

3044
01:36:28,271 --> 01:36:32,471
those in prison and we need to

3045
01:36:33,109 --> 01:36:33,843
remind ourselves that voices

3046
01:36:33,843 --> 01:36:34,544
like Kelly and Andre deserve to

3047
01:36:34,544 --> 01:36:37,544
be respected and listened to.

3048
01:36:39,649 --> 01:36:40,283
Unlike many of the politically

3049
01:36:40,283 --> 01:36:41,170
influenced voices we hear

3050
01:36:41,170 --> 01:36:44,170
there, Clinton has concluded My

3051
01:36:45,655 --> 01:36:46,222
apologies but we have nine

3052
01:36:46,222 --> 01:36:46,856
speakers in the queue.

3053
01:36:46,856 --> 01:36:47,456
The five minute timer has

3054
01:36:47,456 --> 01:36:49,325
concluded no additional

3055
01:36:49,325 --> 01:36:50,193
speakers will be taken.

3056
01:36:50,193 --> 01:36:53,193
Madison if you can please

3057
01:36:55,565 --> 01:36:56,132
unmute.

3058
01:36:56,132 --> 01:36:56,832
>> Yes, hi.

3059
01:36:56,832 --> 01:36:57,400
Thank you for the opportunity

3060
01:36:57,400 --> 01:36:59,800
to speak again today.

3061
01:37:01,638 --> 01:37:02,305
I wanted to focus on

3062
01:37:02,305 --> 01:37:03,390
the important mental health

3063
01:37:03,390 --> 01:37:05,439
consequences of drug impairment

3064
01:37:07,277 --> 01:37:07,577
and impact on our young people

3065
01:37:07,577 --> 01:37:08,344
.

3066
01:37:08,344 --> 01:37:09,120
A new ucla Center for Health

3067
01:37:09,120 --> 01:37:11,412
Policy Research study found

3068
01:37:13,820 --> 01:37:13,683
that California adolescents who

3069
01:37:13,683 --> 01:37:14,417
currently use substances

3070
01:37:14,417 --> 01:37:15,151
experience significantly higher

3071
01:37:15,151 --> 01:37:17,551
rates of psychological distress

3072
01:37:19,355 --> 01:37:19,989
and suicidal thoughts or

3073
01:37:19,989 --> 01:37:20,690
attempts than their peers.

3074
01:37:20,690 --> 01:37:24,290
Nearly half of youth who used

3075
01:37:25,295 --> 01:37:25,995
drugs, alcohol and tobacco

3076
01:37:25,995 --> 01:37:26,362
reported serious psychological

3077
01:37:26,362 --> 01:37:26,896
distress.

3078
01:37:26,896 --> 01:37:28,896
Even more concerning

3079
01:37:31,801 --> 01:37:32,435
adolescents who used both

3080
01:37:32,435 --> 01:37:33,103
substances and experienced

3081
01:37:33,103 --> 01:37:33,837
psychological distress were

3082
01:37:33,837 --> 01:37:37,437
nearly six times more likely to

3083
01:37:38,308 --> 01:37:39,420
report suicidal thoughts or

3084
01:37:39,420 --> 01:37:39,609
suicide attempts than those who

3085
01:37:39,609 --> 01:37:40,210
use substances without

3086
01:37:40,210 --> 01:37:42,210
psychological distress.

3087
01:37:44,147 --> 01:37:44,848
>> These findings remind us

3088
01:37:44,848 --> 01:37:45,515
that substance use prevention

3089
01:37:45,515 --> 01:37:47,915
is mental health prevention.

3090
01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:50,987
Every effort we make to delay

3091
01:37:50,987 --> 01:37:51,588
or reduce substance use has

3092
01:37:51,588 --> 01:37:53,988
the potential to improve

3093
01:37:56,359 --> 01:37:57,270
emotional well-being and reduce

3094
01:37:57,270 --> 01:37:57,727
the risk of tragic outcomes.

3095
01:37:57,727 --> 01:38:00,727
I encourage you to prioritize

3096
01:38:01,865 --> 01:38:02,532
evidence based prevention

3097
01:38:02,532 --> 01:38:02,898
programs alongside treatment

3098
01:38:02,898 --> 01:38:03,566
services.

3099
01:38:03,566 --> 01:38:06,566
Prevention is often the most

3100
01:38:08,537 --> 01:38:09,239
effective behavioral health

3101
01:38:09,239 --> 01:38:09,973
investment we can make because

3102
01:38:09,973 --> 01:38:13,573
it keeps young people from ever

3103
01:38:15,412 --> 01:38:15,745
needing more intensive services

3104
01:38:15,745 --> 01:38:16,146
leaders.

3105
01:38:16,146 --> 01:38:16,646
Thank you.

3106
01:38:16,646 --> 01:38:18,646
Thank you, Terry.

3107
01:38:23,287 --> 01:38:23,587
Terry is going to complete any

3108
01:38:23,587 --> 01:38:24,320
.

3109
01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:24,654
>> Good morning San Diego City

3110
01:38:24,654 --> 01:38:25,355
Council.

3111
01:38:25,355 --> 01:38:26,560
My name is Terrence Gilliam, a

3112
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:29,656
parent of three adult sons and

3113
01:38:29,726 --> 01:38:30,494
a planning board member.

3114
01:38:30,494 --> 01:38:31,161
My planning group had a

3115
01:38:31,161 --> 01:38:33,161
presentation regarding fire

3116
01:38:34,865 --> 01:38:35,465
safety from the county's fire

3117
01:38:35,465 --> 01:38:36,166
Safe Council last week.

3118
01:38:36,166 --> 01:38:36,833
My planning group is concerned

3119
01:38:36,833 --> 01:38:39,233
about tobacco and marijuana

3120
01:38:42,372 --> 01:38:43,730
smoking and vaping on

3121
01:38:43,730 --> 01:38:43,640
the hiking trails on the small

3122
01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:45,640
sidewalks that connect

3123
01:38:47,210 --> 01:38:47,911
the neighborhoods in my area

3124
01:38:47,911 --> 01:38:48,645
marijuana and tobacco products

3125
01:38:48,645 --> 01:38:49,312
are discarded out on the trails

3126
01:38:49,312 --> 01:38:52,312
and the sidewalks creating a

3127
01:38:53,250 --> 01:38:53,950
hazard for fires and legally

3128
01:38:53,950 --> 01:38:54,384
vaping products are considered

3129
01:38:54,384 --> 01:38:56,384
a toxic waste.

3130
01:38:59,892 --> 01:39:00,490
We need much better signage in

3131
01:39:00,490 --> 01:39:01,191
those areas this summer

3132
01:39:01,191 --> 01:39:04,191
indicating that they are that

3133
01:39:05,796 --> 01:39:06,530
they are smoke free.

3134
01:39:06,530 --> 01:39:07,230
I'm hoping the city departments

3135
01:39:07,230 --> 01:39:10,230
that would be responsible for

3136
01:39:11,601 --> 01:39:12,469
this type of signage could do

3137
01:39:12,469 --> 01:39:13,170
so soon and now would be a

3138
01:39:13,170 --> 01:39:16,170
great time to prohibit smoking

3139
01:39:18,541 --> 01:39:19,243
and vaping in all public places

3140
01:39:19,243 --> 01:39:19,677
in our city where our citizens

3141
01:39:19,677 --> 01:39:21,677
live and play.

3142
01:39:23,480 --> 01:39:24,214
The city could signal their

3143
01:39:24,214 --> 01:39:24,882
understanding that the water we

3144
01:39:24,882 --> 01:39:28,482
drink, the land we enjoy and

3145
01:39:30,419 --> 01:39:31,121
especially the air that we

3146
01:39:31,121 --> 01:39:31,822
breathe are all very precious.

3147
01:39:31,822 --> 01:39:35,422
It would be great by bringing

3148
01:39:36,126 --> 01:39:36,727
forward a smoke free and free

3149
01:39:36,727 --> 01:39:37,294
public places ordinance.

3150
01:39:37,294 --> 01:39:39,694
Like many other cities

3151
01:39:41,632 --> 01:39:42,332
throughout our county, this

3152
01:39:42,332 --> 01:39:43,660
would work towards creating a

3153
01:39:43,660 --> 01:39:46,660
smoke free vape free generation

3154
01:39:47,938 --> 01:39:48,605
of young Americans that reject

3155
01:39:48,605 --> 01:39:49,273
reject tobacco marijuana use

3156
01:39:49,273 --> 01:39:52,273
and the physical and health

3157
01:39:54,211 --> 01:39:54,878
mental problems they create.

3158
01:39:54,878 --> 01:39:55,446
Thank you for hearing my

3159
01:39:55,446 --> 01:39:55,813
concerns this morning.

3160
01:39:55,813 --> 01:39:57,180
Thank you.

3161
01:39:57,180 --> 01:40:00,780
Judy Strang if you can please

3162
01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:03,787
on you.

3163
01:40:03,787 --> 01:40:05,787
>> Good morning.

3164
01:40:08,759 --> 01:40:09,527
San Diego City Council.

3165
01:40:09,527 --> 01:40:10,194
Thank you for letting me share

3166
01:40:10,194 --> 01:40:12,594
some personal thoughts here.

3167
01:40:15,866 --> 01:40:16,533
When I heard and I'm not being

3168
01:40:16,533 --> 01:40:17,100
unkind here I hope the idea

3169
01:40:17,100 --> 01:40:19,500
that people grow their

3170
01:40:22,706 --> 01:40:23,406
marijuana in pot I wanted to

3171
01:40:23,406 --> 01:40:24,174
say oh on only because my

3172
01:40:24,174 --> 01:40:27,174
experience is that they are

3173
01:40:27,678 --> 01:40:28,348
definitely using the products

3174
01:40:28,348 --> 01:40:29,130
that they receive either for

3175
01:40:29,130 --> 01:40:32,130
the illegal or legal market

3176
01:40:33,951 --> 01:40:34,651
that are primarily engineering

3177
01:40:34,651 --> 01:40:37,651
products now and our high

3178
01:40:39,957 --> 01:40:40,891
concentrated thc in the circle

3179
01:40:40,891 --> 01:40:45,910
of people that I care about I

3180
01:40:46,530 --> 01:40:47,198
have visited one of them now

3181
01:40:47,198 --> 01:40:47,898
three times as they've been

3182
01:40:47,898 --> 01:40:50,298
hospitalized because of their

3183
01:40:52,670 --> 01:40:53,404
psychotic and mental distress

3184
01:40:53,404 --> 01:40:56,404
because of their marijuana use.

3185
01:40:59,430 --> 01:40:59,677
I have received the phone calls

3186
01:40:59,677 --> 01:41:00,377
from the corner of Bridge

3187
01:41:00,377 --> 01:41:02,377
regarding their contemplation

3188
01:41:04,948 --> 01:41:05,616
about killing themselves and

3189
01:41:05,616 --> 01:41:06,317
got those phone calls every

3190
01:41:06,317 --> 01:41:09,317
single day for several months

3191
01:41:11,221 --> 01:41:11,922
until that person realized that

3192
01:41:11,922 --> 01:41:14,922
5% of those who survived and

3193
01:41:17,940 --> 01:41:17,895
that scared them enough to let

3194
01:41:17,895 --> 01:41:18,661
go of that idea And I made

3195
01:41:18,661 --> 01:41:22,261
plans to travel when his he

3196
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:23,701
disappeared in his friends

3197
01:41:23,701 --> 01:41:24,402
called me and I went to

3198
01:41:24,402 --> 01:41:28,200
the cliff side where his truck

3199
01:41:28,338 --> 01:41:29,106
was parked back.

3200
01:41:29,106 --> 01:41:29,840
It didn't work out that badly

3201
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:30,308
this time I know what marijuana

3202
01:41:30,308 --> 01:41:32,308
use looks like.

3203
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:36,914
I know what decades of use.

3204
01:41:36,914 --> 01:41:37,548
I know what it looks like in

3205
01:41:37,548 --> 01:41:40,548
the 20 to 30 the police in

3206
01:41:41,686 --> 01:41:42,286
the 50s and it is scary and it

3207
01:41:42,286 --> 01:41:42,987
causes whether it causes

3208
01:41:42,987 --> 01:41:45,987
distress to the person smoking

3209
01:41:47,491 --> 01:41:48,192
Well we'd have to have them

3210
01:41:48,192 --> 01:41:48,893
come in and talk to you But

3211
01:41:48,893 --> 01:41:49,360
I've seen some pretty agitated

3212
01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:51,360
depressed state.

3213
01:41:52,930 --> 01:41:53,797
But let me tell you for those

3214
01:41:53,797 --> 01:41:54,698
of us around them and care them

3215
01:41:54,698 --> 01:41:58,569
and try to protect them, it's a

3216
01:41:58,569 --> 01:41:59,336
horrific experience.

3217
01:41:59,336 --> 01:41:59,936
So if we speak about our

3218
01:41:59,936 --> 01:42:00,571
concerns, I want you to

3219
01:42:00,571 --> 01:42:02,971
understand it's a personal

3220
01:42:05,376 --> 01:42:05,877
issue for many of us.

3221
01:42:05,877 --> 01:42:06,511
>> Thank you.

3222
01:42:06,511 --> 01:42:07,478
Thank you for being open.

3223
01:42:07,478 --> 01:42:10,470
If you can please unmute I

3224
01:42:10,470 --> 01:42:10,881
thank you.

3225
01:42:10,881 --> 01:42:14,481
There was now that we're having

3226
01:42:15,720 --> 01:42:19,920
the roll out of for the new

3227
01:42:21,826 --> 01:42:22,626
public comment time period what

3228
01:42:22,626 --> 01:42:26,226
speakers can do and working in

3229
01:42:27,798 --> 01:42:28,498
groups think that it started.

3230
01:42:28,498 --> 01:42:31,498
I'm interested how if needed

3231
01:42:33,671 --> 01:42:34,338
the city clerk can know how to

3232
01:42:34,338 --> 01:42:37,938
use the 130 time a bit more

3233
01:42:39,644 --> 01:42:40,440
frequently and more flexibly as

3234
01:42:40,440 --> 01:42:40,744
appropriate.

3235
01:42:40,744 --> 01:42:44,480
I offered that yesterday and I

3236
01:42:44,480 --> 01:42:44,515
realized the meeting went on to

3237
01:42:44,515 --> 01:42:45,216
about 6 or 7.

3238
01:42:45,216 --> 01:42:45,983
So you know she actually

3239
01:42:45,983 --> 01:42:48,983
yourselves made a very wise

3240
01:42:50,521 --> 01:42:51,221
decision in how to garner one

3241
01:42:51,221 --> 01:42:54,221
minute for public comment But

3242
01:42:55,459 --> 01:42:56,227
just sometimes some items

3243
01:42:56,227 --> 01:42:59,827
deserve a bit longer time and

3244
01:43:00,198 --> 01:43:00,965
to be flexible and open to

3245
01:43:00,965 --> 01:43:01,666
the 130 time I think you guys

3246
01:43:01,666 --> 01:43:02,367
do that really well and should

3247
01:43:02,367 --> 01:43:06,567
know how to use it a little

3248
01:43:06,971 --> 01:43:07,739
more regularly as needed.

3249
01:43:07,739 --> 01:43:08,439
I thought I'd just mention to

3250
01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:12,390
this time in this new public

3251
01:43:13,244 --> 01:43:13,845
comment age we're entering I

3252
01:43:13,845 --> 01:43:14,712
also want to comment on

3253
01:43:14,712 --> 01:43:18,483
the words of Marie Sodano and I

3254
01:43:18,483 --> 01:43:18,916
think did a really nice job to

3255
01:43:18,916 --> 01:43:19,751
describe that.

3256
01:43:19,751 --> 01:43:23,951
If nothing else we have to go

3257
01:43:24,880 --> 01:43:24,923
with the Midway Rising project.

3258
01:43:24,923 --> 01:43:29,123
We have to be aware of our

3259
01:43:30,495 --> 01:43:31,261
options and choices and so long

3260
01:43:31,261 --> 01:43:32,620
as has made it clear that I

3261
01:43:32,620 --> 01:43:32,730
hope her words become a part of

3262
01:43:32,730 --> 01:43:35,130
the regular conversation and

3263
01:43:36,134 --> 01:43:36,868
how to address the future of

3264
01:43:36,868 --> 01:43:37,569
Midway Rising, I think she's on

3265
01:43:37,569 --> 01:43:40,569
a really important captain How

3266
01:43:41,706 --> 01:43:42,473
to talk about it that needs

3267
01:43:42,473 --> 01:43:46,444
respect and I hope it's just a

3268
01:43:46,444 --> 01:43:47,780
regular part of the future

3269
01:43:47,780 --> 01:43:47,812
conversations and not kept

3270
01:43:47,812 --> 01:43:51,412
hidden and tucked away and not

3271
01:43:52,350 --> 01:43:53,170
talked about And I'm really

3272
01:43:53,170 --> 01:43:56,170
hopeful about the future of

3273
01:43:58,590 --> 01:43:59,124
accountability with with public

3274
01:43:59,124 --> 01:43:59,591
policies, with tech

3275
01:43:59,591 --> 01:44:00,257
accountability.

3276
01:44:00,257 --> 01:44:03,696
We've taken a bit of a break

3277
01:44:03,696 --> 01:44:04,562
over the past few years.

3278
01:44:04,562 --> 01:44:05,262
It's really time that when good

3279
01:44:05,262 --> 01:44:05,997
policies present themselves we

3280
01:44:05,997 --> 01:44:09,597
need to really move forward and

3281
01:44:10,769 --> 01:44:11,135
work towards them on a number

3282
01:44:11,135 --> 01:44:11,869
of issues.

3283
01:44:11,869 --> 01:44:12,302
>> We can be working towards

3284
01:44:12,302 --> 01:44:12,904
peace not war.

3285
01:44:12,904 --> 01:44:15,904
That's a good thing both

3286
01:44:16,641 --> 01:44:17,275
concluded Sorry Francine Maximo

3287
01:44:17,275 --> 01:44:18,109
if you can please unmute.

3288
01:44:18,109 --> 01:44:20,509
>> Good morning Francine Marcel

3289
01:44:21,646 --> 01:44:22,379
Southeastern San Diego resident

3290
01:44:22,379 --> 01:44:23,248
I want to make sure that you

3291
01:44:23,248 --> 01:44:26,484
know how much we appreciate our

3292
01:44:26,484 --> 01:44:27,252
cp commissioners.

3293
01:44:27,252 --> 01:44:27,886
We appreciate the time that

3294
01:44:27,886 --> 01:44:28,219
they spend away from their

3295
01:44:28,219 --> 01:44:30,219
family.

3296
01:44:32,791 --> 01:44:33,525
The extra meetings, the extra

3297
01:44:33,525 --> 01:44:34,192
training But the community is a

3298
01:44:34,192 --> 01:44:36,592
little concerned with 185 k

3299
01:44:38,330 --> 01:44:39,300
that seems a little bit low

3300
01:44:39,300 --> 01:44:39,731
ball for us to get our own

3301
01:44:39,731 --> 01:44:42,768
attorney and so I see us

3302
01:44:42,768 --> 01:44:43,535
because we are all in this

3303
01:44:43,535 --> 01:44:44,269
together And so as a taxpayer

3304
01:44:44,269 --> 01:44:47,869
knowing that you guys have some

3305
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:49,641
money that MAY not have been

3306
01:44:49,641 --> 01:44:52,641
counted on for 2020 7fy maybe

3307
01:44:54,790 --> 01:44:57,679
somebody can look and see if

3308
01:44:57,849 --> 01:44:58,617
there's some scraps left to up

3309
01:44:58,617 --> 01:44:59,216
the scale from the 185 k for

3310
01:44:59,216 --> 01:45:01,216
independent attorney or

3311
01:45:04,322 --> 01:45:04,680
independent c p r c p p works

3312
01:45:04,680 --> 01:45:05,323
hard.

3313
01:45:05,323 --> 01:45:08,323
They have absolutely got some

3314
01:45:08,994 --> 01:45:09,660
things changed recently.

3315
01:45:09,660 --> 01:45:10,328
The community has begun to

3316
01:45:10,328 --> 01:45:12,728
receive letters again That

3317
01:45:15,670 --> 01:45:19,267
tells you that there was no no

3318
01:45:20,539 --> 01:45:21,306
misconduct for the officers and

3319
01:45:21,306 --> 01:45:21,973
although you MAY not be happy

3320
01:45:21,973 --> 01:45:22,641
with the letter you receive

3321
01:45:22,641 --> 01:45:25,410
you're receiving them Again.

3322
01:45:26,178 --> 01:45:26,878
We are moving towards better

3323
01:45:26,878 --> 01:45:27,212
customer service with internal

3324
01:45:27,212 --> 01:45:27,846
affairs.

3325
01:45:27,846 --> 01:45:31,446
We leave a message and you

3326
01:45:31,817 --> 01:45:32,517
sometimes get a return call

3327
01:45:32,517 --> 01:45:33,285
within the same day And so we

3328
01:45:33,285 --> 01:45:36,885
want to make sure that we

3329
01:45:37,389 --> 01:45:38,222
continue to work in partnership

3330
01:45:38,222 --> 01:45:42,194
But you need to help us get our

3331
01:45:42,194 --> 01:45:42,561
independent arm a little bit

3332
01:45:42,561 --> 01:45:43,261
stronger.

3333
01:45:43,261 --> 01:45:46,261
And so an independent attorney

3334
01:45:47,332 --> 01:45:47,933
to advise our commissioners

3335
01:45:47,933 --> 01:45:48,667
although we do have some

3336
01:45:48,667 --> 01:45:51,667
attorneys on the commission, we

3337
01:45:52,974 --> 01:45:53,672
still need to have that seat

3338
01:45:53,672 --> 01:45:53,972
filled along with a couple of

3339
01:45:53,972 --> 01:45:55,972
them.

3340
01:45:57,275 --> 01:45:58,430
So please consider holding some

3341
01:45:58,430 --> 01:45:58,777
type of hearing added to

3342
01:45:58,777 --> 01:46:02,377
the agenda last minute Like you

3343
01:46:02,915 --> 01:46:03,581
guys do many things that you

3344
01:46:03,581 --> 01:46:04,216
want to and let's get our

3345
01:46:04,216 --> 01:46:06,216
oversight our independent

3346
01:46:08,253 --> 01:46:08,887
oversight really going over

3347
01:46:08,887 --> 01:46:11,887
the summer while you're on

3348
01:46:12,791 --> 01:46:13,525
legislative break there are

3349
01:46:13,525 --> 01:46:14,226
some things that can absolutely

3350
01:46:14,226 --> 01:46:17,826
be done because they are city

3351
01:46:18,597 --> 01:46:18,931
employees that are staffing

3352
01:46:18,931 --> 01:46:19,364
the ctp.

3353
01:46:19,364 --> 01:46:19,731
>> Thank you.

3354
01:46:19,731 --> 01:46:21,731
Thank you.

3355
01:46:23,635 --> 01:46:23,969
Peggy Walker if you can please

3356
01:46:23,969 --> 01:46:24,302
unmute.

3357
01:46:24,302 --> 01:46:26,302
>> Okay.

3358
01:46:28,506 --> 01:46:29,241
Thank you Again to the last

3359
01:46:29,241 --> 01:46:32,841
Social Wellness month a call to

3360
01:46:32,977 --> 01:46:33,679
improve the health and mental

3361
01:46:33,679 --> 01:46:34,346
well-being of our communities

3362
01:46:34,346 --> 01:46:38,484
which is a call of those who

3363
01:46:38,484 --> 01:46:39,184
work for safe marijuana and

3364
01:46:39,184 --> 01:46:42,184
other drug policies to protect

3365
01:46:43,622 --> 01:46:44,289
youth And that effort isn't

3366
01:46:44,289 --> 01:46:45,230
about the marijuana plant by

3367
01:46:45,230 --> 01:46:48,427
the way as I mentioned earlier,

3368
01:46:48,427 --> 01:46:49,610
it's about an industry

3369
01:46:49,610 --> 01:46:49,661
engineering thc content of

3370
01:46:49,661 --> 01:46:52,610
those plants far beyond

3371
01:46:54,433 --> 01:46:55,670
anything natural or about a

3372
01:46:55,670 --> 01:46:57,670
highly potent synthesized

3373
01:46:59,371 --> 01:47:00,720
products designed and packaged

3374
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:00,844
to attract young people while

3375
01:47:00,844 --> 01:47:03,844
falsely presented as safe or

3376
01:47:04,610 --> 01:47:05,244
even as a medicine with no

3377
01:47:05,244 --> 01:47:07,644
scientific data backup and

3378
01:47:09,548 --> 01:47:10,249
lacking pharmaceutical

3379
01:47:10,249 --> 01:47:12,649
protocols Today highly potent

3380
01:47:14,190 --> 01:47:14,653
products not visual output Prop

3381
01:47:14,653 --> 01:47:16,653

3382
01:47:18,858 --> 01:47:19,525
health risks that local

3383
01:47:19,525 --> 01:47:20,226
enforcement and health care

3384
01:47:20,226 --> 01:47:22,626
infrastructure are proving ill

3385
01:47:24,730 --> 01:47:25,664
equipped to absorb.

3386
01:47:25,664 --> 01:47:28,664
This is demonstrated by item 50

3387
01:47:29,668 --> 01:47:30,301
today regarding uncontrollable

3388
01:47:30,301 --> 01:47:32,301
illegal marijuana delivery

3389
01:47:33,738 --> 01:47:34,440
activities that present

3390
01:47:34,440 --> 01:47:36,440
challenging enforcement issues

3391
01:47:38,978 --> 01:47:39,378
especially regarding deliveries

3392
01:47:39,378 --> 01:47:40,146
to use.

3393
01:47:40,146 --> 01:47:40,745
It's challenged by the public

3394
01:47:40,745 --> 01:47:43,145
health burdens of young

3395
01:47:44,650 --> 01:47:45,317
addiction and increased demand

3396
01:47:45,317 --> 01:47:47,717
for mental support services

3397
01:47:49,821 --> 01:47:50,456
that offset Project to tax

3398
01:47:50,456 --> 01:47:52,856
revenues by searching air

3399
01:47:54,293 --> 01:47:55,270
visits highlighting

3400
01:47:55,270 --> 01:47:57,427
the unanticipated medical costs

3401
01:47:59,432 --> 01:47:59,799
of increased youth access to

3402
01:47:59,799 --> 01:48:00,466
marijuana.

3403
01:48:00,466 --> 01:48:03,466
It's about need for greater

3404
01:48:04,170 --> 01:48:04,870
prevention efforts because

3405
01:48:04,870 --> 01:48:07,870
allowing an industry to mess

3406
01:48:09,108 --> 01:48:09,875
with a kid's mind before he

3407
01:48:09,875 --> 01:48:13,475
even has a chance to comprehend

3408
01:48:14,146 --> 01:48:14,814
the damage pot can do to young

3409
01:48:14,814 --> 01:48:17,214
brains just isn't justified.

3410
01:48:18,984 --> 01:48:19,785
Judging policies by how they

3411
01:48:19,785 --> 01:48:22,785
work for the betterment of

3412
01:48:23,656 --> 01:48:24,323
the community the marijuana

3413
01:48:24,323 --> 01:48:26,323
industry practices currently

3414
01:48:28,394 --> 01:48:28,728
allowed fail the test for use

3415
01:48:28,728 --> 01:48:29,395
safety.

3422
01:48:38,371 --> 01:48:40,771
Hi Natalie Raskin here.

3423
01:48:42,374 --> 01:48:43,760
Just a couple of things My I

3424
01:48:43,760 --> 01:48:43,776
want to talk about but I'm

3425
01:48:43,776 --> 01:48:46,712
going to respond to the women

3426
01:48:46,712 --> 01:48:47,790
that have responded to what I

3427
01:48:47,790 --> 01:48:47,780
have said.

3428
01:48:47,780 --> 01:48:50,780
I understand that marijuana is

3429
01:48:51,651 --> 01:48:52,251
more potent.

3430
01:48:52,251 --> 01:48:53,860
I have four children.

3431
01:48:53,860 --> 01:48:56,856
I talk to them about what is

3432
01:48:56,856 --> 01:48:57,622
out there and what is good and

3433
01:48:57,622 --> 01:48:58,290
what is bad and that they have

3434
01:48:58,290 --> 01:49:00,690
consequences when they make

3435
01:49:01,160 --> 01:49:01,928
these choices.

3436
01:49:01,928 --> 01:49:02,729
Some of these people have other

3437
01:49:02,729 --> 01:49:05,729
mental issues that MAY be

3438
01:49:05,832 --> 01:49:06,366
affected by marijuana.

3439
01:49:06,366 --> 01:49:08,366
I understand that.

3440
01:49:10,737 --> 01:49:11,437
But to make it that it's legal

3441
01:49:11,437 --> 01:49:11,871
for everybody is not something

3442
01:49:11,871 --> 01:49:13,871
I think about.

3443
01:49:15,675 --> 01:49:16,209
Mk Ultra is a real thing though

3444
01:49:16,209 --> 01:49:18,209
that was classified.

3445
01:49:19,946 --> 01:49:20,480
Big Pharma is our biggest drug

3446
01:49:20,480 --> 01:49:22,480
producing addictive.

3447
01:49:25,785 --> 01:49:26,486
It's crazy and my whole riginal

3448
01:49:26,486 --> 01:49:29,889
was coming on here and talking

3449
01:49:29,889 --> 01:49:30,557
to the city of San Diego and

3450
01:49:30,557 --> 01:49:31,190
how we're moving forward and

3451
01:49:31,190 --> 01:49:34,190
looking at our future with

3452
01:49:35,128 --> 01:49:35,828
innovation and protect ing

3453
01:49:35,828 --> 01:49:38,828
the people against Big Pharma

3454
01:49:40,368 --> 01:49:41,340
again M.K. Ultra that is real

3455
01:49:41,340 --> 01:49:41,734
stuff and they do manipulate

3456
01:49:41,734 --> 01:49:45,171
minds and it is out there and

3457
01:49:45,171 --> 01:49:45,638
you can do the research Are we

3458
01:49:45,638 --> 01:49:47,638
moving forward?

3459
01:49:49,275 --> 01:49:50,900
I have four children and I want

3460
01:49:50,900 --> 01:49:50,410
them to be contributing members

3461
01:49:50,410 --> 01:49:52,410
to society.

3462
01:49:53,880 --> 01:49:54,280
We need to start looking at

3463
01:49:54,280 --> 01:49:55,148
innovation.

3464
01:49:55,148 --> 01:49:58,651
I don't know how many of you on

3465
01:49:58,651 --> 01:49:59,418
the dias are researching how

3466
01:49:59,418 --> 01:50:03,220
A.I. Is moving and how all

3467
01:50:03,220 --> 01:50:03,356
these technologies are moving

3468
01:50:03,356 --> 01:50:04,190
forward.

3469
01:50:04,190 --> 01:50:07,694
I think we need to start being

3470
01:50:07,694 --> 01:50:08,660
more innovative.

3471
01:50:08,660 --> 01:50:11,865
I just produced a book which

3472
01:50:11,865 --> 01:50:12,665
received our first robot a

3473
01:50:12,665 --> 01:50:16,265
teacher in the city of San

3474
01:50:16,703 --> 01:50:17,737
Diego That is huge.

3475
01:50:17,737 --> 01:50:21,474
I wrote a book on how to

3476
01:50:21,474 --> 01:50:22,308
introduce A.I. To your teens.

3477
01:50:22,308 --> 01:50:25,908
We need to start thinking in

3478
01:50:26,546 --> 01:50:27,313
this fashion so that we are not

3479
01:50:27,313 --> 01:50:31,170
at the end of the day and New

3480
01:50:31,170 --> 01:50:31,885
World Order.

3481
01:50:31,885 --> 01:50:32,585
That is serious to me and I

3482
01:50:32,585 --> 01:50:35,585
hope it's serious to everyone

3483
01:50:36,522 --> 01:50:36,890
on the dias especially young

3484
01:50:36,890 --> 01:50:37,423

Archie Moore's house We used to

drive over his freeway entrance

3501
01:51:13,793 --> 01:51:14,162

3503
01:51:14,860 --> 01:51:17,860
My parents were both in

3504
01:51:18,632 --> 01:51:19,199
the Navy and he had a he

3505
01:51:19,199 --> 01:51:21,599

3508
01:51:27,574 --> 01:51:28,441

3509
01:51:28,441 --> 01:51:29,209
black guy in San Diego My dad

3510
01:51:29,209 --> 01:51:31,978
would point them out to me and

3511
01:51:31,978 --> 01:51:32,646
stuff is pretty cool but I

3512
01:51:32,646 --> 01:51:35,646
don't remember it being that

3513
01:51:36,490 --> 01:51:36,717
super racist like the one lady

3514
01:51:36,717 --> 01:51:39,117
talking about racist racist

3515
01:51:39,953 --> 01:51:40,654
racist kind of thing playing

3516
01:51:40,654 --> 01:51:44,854
the race card all the time and

3517
01:51:45,358 --> 01:51:46,126
not getting jobs or when I was

3518
01:51:46,126 --> 01:51:46,893
growing up it was I don't think

3519
01:51:46,893 --> 01:51:50,130
it was like that We had black

3520
01:51:50,130 --> 01:51:50,764
guys in our neighborhood,

3521
01:51:50,764 --> 01:51:53,164
Mexican kids, Jewish guys.

3522
01:51:55,335 --> 01:51:55,969
It was like you know, there was

3523
01:51:55,969 --> 01:51:56,336
nobody stealing stuff from

3524
01:51:56,336 --> 01:51:58,336
the store.

3525
01:52:00,274 --> 01:52:01,140
There was no guy getting shot.

3526
01:52:01,140 --> 01:52:04,278
You'd have a fistfight with a

3527
01:52:04,278 --> 01:52:05,780
kid It matter what color he was

3528
01:52:05,780 --> 01:52:05,479
,it wasn't Nobody was pulling

3529
01:52:05,479 --> 01:52:07,479
out a knife.

3530
01:52:09,316 --> 01:52:10,170
You can take the bus.

3531
01:52:10,170 --> 01:52:13,170
Other neighbors could you kick

3532
01:52:13,587 --> 01:52:14,288
your if you got out of line?

3533
01:52:14,288 --> 01:52:14,955
The neighbor could tell your

3534
01:52:14,955 --> 01:52:17,355
parents and they'd believe

3535
01:52:18,424 --> 01:52:19,192
the neighbor.

3536
01:52:19,192 --> 01:52:19,626
They wouldn't believe the kid

3537
01:52:19,626 --> 01:52:21,626
who was lying.

3538
01:52:23,564 --> 01:52:24,231
So it was a great man Growing

3539
01:52:24,231 --> 01:52:27,734

City Clerk Court is now present

3653
02:04:39,257 --> 02:04:39,957
when we have a meeting to

3654
02:04:39,957 --> 02:04:43,557
decide when we have folks that

3655
02:04:43,627 --> 02:04:44,328
MAY be here for the first or

3656
02:04:44,328 --> 02:04:44,995
maybe the only time they ever

3657

business in city council.

3661
02:04:51,102 --> 02:04:54,771
I know a city clerk gave some

3662
02:04:54,771 --> 02:04:55,510
suggestions already.

3663
02:04:55,510 --> 02:04:56,240
Before we start today's meeting

3664
02:04:56,240 --> 02:04:56,841
I want to remind everyone about

3665
02:04:56,841 --> 02:04:59,241
the city's practices and

3666
02:05:01,450 --> 02:05:01,645
procedures for public comment

3667
02:05:01,645 --> 02:05:02,246
At city council meetings

3668
02:05:02,246 --> 02:05:02,947
The city welcomes public

3669
02:05:02,947 --> 02:05:05,347
participation at city council

3670
02:05:06,650 --> 02:05:07,184
meetings.

3671
02:05:07,184 --> 02:05:07,818
Speakers MAY address

3672
02:05:07,818 --> 02:05:08,553
the Council during public

3673
02:05:08,553 --> 02:05:09,253
comment also in connection with

3674
02:05:09,253 --> 02:05:12,423
a specific line of business on

3675
02:05:12,423 --> 02:05:13,910
the agenda.

3676
02:05:13,910 --> 02:05:13,724
However, the city must make

3677
02:05:13,724 --> 02:05:14,324
sure that no one person or

3678
02:05:14,324 --> 02:05:14,892
group of people disrupt

3679
02:05:14,892 --> 02:05:15,593
the meeting a way that

3680
02:05:15,593 --> 02:05:17,993
prohibits other speakers from

3681
02:05:18,929 --> 02:05:19,229
expressing their opinions and

3682
02:05:19,229 --> 02:05:19,931
ideas.

3683
02:05:19,931 --> 02:05:20,698
So to make sure that everyone

3684
02:05:20,698 --> 02:05:23,698
has an opportunity to address

3685
02:05:25,360 --> 02:05:25,736
the Council will alert an

3686
02:05:25,736 --> 02:05:26,403
individual or individuals if I

3687
02:05:26,403 --> 02:05:27,104
think their conduct becomes

3688
02:05:27,104 --> 02:05:29,504
disruptive with the corruption

3689
02:05:32,109 --> 02:05:32,844
continues I will rule

3690
02:05:32,844 --> 02:05:33,511
the individual out of order and

3691
02:05:33,511 --> 02:05:34,245
if the disruption continues

3692
02:05:34,245 --> 02:05:37,181
further I will declare a recess

3693
02:05:37,181 --> 02:05:37,915
all week of the restore order.

3694
02:05:37,915 --> 02:05:38,516
At that point I will direct

3695
02:05:38,516 --> 02:05:39,217
the individual to leave

3696
02:05:39,217 --> 02:05:39,850
the room and if the individual

3697
02:05:39,850 --> 02:05:40,418
refuses police will escort

3698
02:05:40,418 --> 02:05:42,818
the individual out of

3699
02:05:42,954 --> 02:05:43,821
the building.

3700
02:05:43,821 --> 02:05:44,389
Now if we have to repeat this

3701
02:05:44,389 --> 02:05:45,890
process of warning and

3702
02:05:45,890 --> 02:05:48,890
recessing the meeting which we

3703
02:05:48,326 --> 02:05:48,960
will not because you're all

3704
02:05:48,960 --> 02:05:49,660
good people out there, all

3705
02:05:49,660 --> 02:05:50,294
members of the public will be

3706
02:05:50,294 --> 02:05:52,694
excluded from this council

3707
02:05:54,640 --> 02:05:54,765
chambers credentialed media

3708
02:05:54,765 --> 02:05:55,433
will be allowed to remain.

3709
02:05:55,433 --> 02:05:56,100
Once again we have these

3710
02:05:56,100 --> 02:05:56,767
practices and procedures to

3711
02:05:56,767 --> 02:05:59,767
protect the rights of other

3712
02:06:00,400 --> 02:06:00,605
speakers who wish to addressed

3713
02:06:00,605 --> 02:06:01,172
the Council to allow

3714
02:06:01,172 --> 02:06:01,839
the Council to conduct

3715
02:06:01,839 --> 02:06:04,839
the public's business and to

3716
02:06:06,610 --> 02:06:07,110
repeat the advice Given by our

3717
02:06:07,110 --> 02:06:07,645
City Clerk.

3718
02:06:07,645 --> 02:06:08,346
If you agree with someone

3720
02:06:11,949 --> 02:06:12,683

And so just for clarification

3850
02:10:13,926 --> 02:10:16,326
the 31.8 acre site multiplied

3851
02:10:18,960 --> 02:10:21,696

02:14:05,558 --> 02:14:06,192
visited the project site to

3973
02:14:06,192 --> 02:14:09,192
confirm that the notice of

3974
02:14:09,963 --> 02:14:10,697
application and the notice of

3975
02:14:10,697 --> 02:14:13,697
today's hearing was present and

3976
02:14:14,534 --> 02:14:15,201
visible at the project site

3977
02:14:15,201 --> 02:14:15,535
with three signs for today's

3978
02:14:15,535 --> 02:14:16,236
hearing.

3979
02:14:16,236 --> 02:14:18,400
Posted on 16th Street and one

3980
02:14:18,400 --> 02:14:21,604
side for the driveway of Old

3981
02:14:23,577 --> 02:14:25,577
Memory Lane.

3982
02:14:28,848 --> 02:14:29,449
Summary of the Appellant's

3983
02:14:29,449 --> 02:14:31,849
issues are as follows.

3984
02:14:32,919 --> 02:14:33,587
The issues related to

3985
02:14:33,587 --> 02:14:34,287
the utilization of Footnote

3986
02:14:34,287 --> 02:14:34,988
seven for the project adequacy

3987
02:14:34,988 --> 02:14:37,388
of the environmental analysis

3988
02:14:38,992 --> 02:14:39,659
deficiencies in public

3989
02:14:39,659 --> 02:14:40,160
facilities for the community

3990
02:14:40,160 --> 02:14:42,160
including Parkland

3991
02:14:44,164 --> 02:14:44,798
Environmental justice concerns

3992
02:14:44,798 --> 02:14:45,398
including concentration of

3993
02:14:45,398 --> 02:14:45,799
density in disadvantaged

3994
02:14:45,799 --> 02:14:46,332
communities.

3995
02:14:46,332 --> 02:14:48,332
Inadequate community

3996
02:14:49,569 --> 02:14:50,103
involvement including

3997
02:14:50,103 --> 02:14:50,570
inadequate notice of

3998
02:14:50,570 --> 02:14:52,570
the project and

3999
02:14:54,274 --> 02:14:54,574
the environmental determination

4000
02:14:54,574 --> 02:14:55,542
.

4001
02:14:55,542 --> 02:14:59,142
>> I will now move forward with

4002
02:15:00,913 --> 02:15:01,281
the appeal issues as they were

4003
02:15:01,281 --> 02:15:01,948
submitted.

4004
02:15:01,948 --> 02:15:02,549
The Polish the first appeal

4005
02:15:02,549 --> 02:15:05,252
issue was in relation to

4006
02:15:05,252 --> 02:15:06,190
factual error.

4007
02:15:06,190 --> 02:15:09,190
Issue number one stated that

4008
02:15:09,322 --> 02:15:10,900
the project far exceeds the 0

4009
02:15:10,900 --> 02:15:10,790
to 4 dwelling units per acre

4010
02:15:10,790 --> 02:15:11,900
density for which the site is

4011
02:15:11,900 --> 02:15:13,900
owned.

4012
02:15:14,228 --> 02:15:14,928
Our response is that

4013
02:15:14,928 --> 02:15:15,629
the project is in conformance

4014
02:15:15,629 --> 02:15:18,629
with the residential very low

4015
02:15:18,898 --> 02:15:19,699
designation from the community

4016
02:15:19,699 --> 02:15:20,300
plan which allows 0 to 4

4017
02:15:20,300 --> 02:15:20,967
dwelling units per acre.

4018
02:15:20,967 --> 02:15:21,635
And as previously mentioned

4019
02:15:21,635 --> 02:15:23,270
that would be in conformance

4020
02:15:23,270 --> 02:15:25,670
with the requirements by

4021
02:15:28,809 --> 02:15:29,476
proposing 123 units.

4022
02:15:29,476 --> 02:15:30,210
The next issue raised was

4023
02:15:30,210 --> 02:15:30,510
the project does not conform to

4024
02:15:30,510 --> 02:15:32,510
the r.

4025
02:15:33,513 --> 02:15:34,281
S1-2 zoning and far exceeds

4026
02:15:34,281 --> 02:15:37,881
the number of lots allowed for

4027
02:15:37,985 --> 02:15:38,651
the zone 67.

4028
02:15:38,651 --> 02:15:41,651
And again the project is

4029
02:15:43,556 --> 02:15:44,357
utilizing footnotes seven for

4030
02:15:44,357 --> 02:15:47,957
the development and would be in

4031
02:15:48,695 --> 02:15:49,262
conformance with the applicable

4032
02:15:49,262 --> 02:15:51,662
regulations of the r.

4033
02:15:52,432 --> 02:15:53,330
S one dash zone through

4034
02:15:53,330 --> 02:15:55,433
the utilization of four.

4035
02:16:01,574 --> 02:16:02,309
Utilization of footnote seven

4036
02:16:02,309 --> 02:16:02,876
The 30 issue as the project

4037
02:16:02,876 --> 02:16:03,510
does not appear to be

4038
02:16:03,510 --> 02:16:05,910
consistent with the Choice

4039
02:16:06,779 --> 02:16:07,480
Valley Community Plan and

4040
02:16:07,480 --> 02:16:09,480
Canton Neighborhoods Community

4041
02:16:11,151 --> 02:16:11,918
Plan Urban Design Policy p u d

4042
02:16:11,918 --> 02:16:12,586
dash 26 states the following.

4043
02:16:12,586 --> 02:16:14,986
Preserve the existing single

4044
02:16:16,524 --> 02:16:17,124
family large lot development in

4045
02:16:17,124 --> 02:16:17,791
areas where topographic

4046
02:16:17,791 --> 02:16:20,191
conditions foster large lots

4047
02:16:21,494 --> 02:16:22,196
and an area is located away

4048
02:16:22,196 --> 02:16:22,563
from mass transit and transit

4049
02:16:22,563 --> 02:16:23,196
corridors.

4050
02:16:23,196 --> 02:16:25,596
Preserve large lot single

4051
02:16:27,200 --> 02:16:27,901
family neighborhoods in order

4052
02:16:27,901 --> 02:16:28,534
to retain the rural atmosphere

4053
02:16:28,534 --> 02:16:30,934
which is characteristic of

4054
02:16:33,874 --> 02:16:34,574
Encanto neighborhoods.

4055
02:16:34,574 --> 02:16:35,308
>> The project site was

4056
02:16:35,308 --> 02:16:38,308
previously developed as a radio

4057
02:16:38,646 --> 02:16:39,246
transmitter facility without a

4058
02:16:39,246 --> 02:16:41,246
residential subdivision.

4059
02:16:44,451 --> 02:16:45,119
Therefore is not subject to

4060
02:16:45,119 --> 02:16:45,719
the preservation of existing

4061
02:16:45,719 --> 02:16:48,119
single family Large lot

4062
02:16:48,589 --> 02:16:49,289
development.

4063
02:16:49,289 --> 02:16:49,957
The proposed subdivision is

4064
02:16:49,957 --> 02:16:52,357
consistent with the adjacent

4065
02:16:52,993 --> 02:16:53,394
developments to the north south

4066
02:16:53,394 --> 02:16:54,161
and west.

4067
02:16:54,161 --> 02:16:57,564
By proposing one and two storey

4068
02:16:57,564 --> 02:16:58,232
single dwelling units having

4069
02:16:58,232 --> 02:16:58,932
minimum lot sizes of 5000ft

4070
02:16:58,932 --> 02:17:01,932
and site design that follows

4071
02:17:05,606 --> 02:17:08,606
the topography of the land.

4072
02:17:09,477 --> 02:17:10,111
>> Issue number four

4073
02:17:10,111 --> 02:17:10,711
the project appeals to be

4074
02:17:10,711 --> 02:17:12,711
neither consistent with

4075
02:17:14,810 --> 02:17:14,781
the community plan nor zoning.

4076
02:17:14,781 --> 02:17:15,416
Residential Land Use Section

4077
02:17:15,416 --> 02:17:15,983
2.4 of the community plan

4078
02:17:15,983 --> 02:17:17,983
states the following.

4079
02:17:18,919 --> 02:17:19,487
The plan seeks to expand and

4080
02:17:19,487 --> 02:17:20,121
preserve the supply of

4081
02:17:20,121 --> 02:17:22,121
affordable housing through

4082
02:17:23,230 --> 02:17:23,824
construction of new units as

4083
02:17:23,824 --> 02:17:24,492
well as the preservation and

4084
02:17:24,492 --> 02:17:25,126
restoration of older homes.

4085
02:17:25,126 --> 02:17:27,526
The substantial amount of

4086
02:17:28,662 --> 02:17:29,330
vacant and underutilized land

4087
02:17:29,330 --> 02:17:29,930
and access to transit within

4088
02:17:29,930 --> 02:17:31,930
the Encanto neighborhood

4089
02:17:33,367 --> 02:17:34,680
provides an opportunity for

4090
02:17:34,680 --> 02:17:34,468
well-located mixed use infill

4091
02:17:34,468 --> 02:17:36,468
development.

4092
02:17:37,972 --> 02:17:38,706
The community has an extensive

4093
02:17:38,706 --> 02:17:39,340
stock of single family housing

4094
02:17:39,340 --> 02:17:40,207
much of it on large lots.

4095
02:17:40,207 --> 02:17:43,207
Although they have already been

4096
02:17:43,810 --> 02:17:44,445
developed, these large lots

4097
02:17:44,445 --> 02:17:45,790
provide an opportunity for

4098
02:17:45,790 --> 02:17:45,780
infill development through

4099
02:17:45,780 --> 02:17:48,180
the construction of accessory

4100
02:17:48,649 --> 02:17:49,282
dwelling units on the lower

4101
02:17:49,282 --> 02:17:49,883
density residential sites.

4102
02:17:49,883 --> 02:17:51,883
Accessory dwelling units

4103
02:17:53,120 --> 02:17:53,788
increase for housing stock,

4104
02:17:53,788 --> 02:17:54,455
allow for multigenerational

4105
02:17:54,455 --> 02:17:56,855
housing opportunity and can

4106
02:17:58,920 --> 02:17:58,592
provide rental income for lower

4107
02:17:58,592 --> 02:17:59,260
income residents.

4108
02:17:59,260 --> 02:17:59,859
The project was found to be

4109
02:17:59,859 --> 02:18:02,259
consistent with the past

4110
02:18:03,640 --> 02:18:03,764
policies identified on

4111
02:18:03,764 --> 02:18:06,764
the screen which include land

4112
02:18:08,202 --> 02:18:08,869
use, noise mobility, urban

4113
02:18:08,869 --> 02:18:11,269
design and conservation and

4114
02:18:11,839 --> 02:18:12,640
sustainability as well as as

4115
02:18:12,640 --> 02:18:15,640
goals and policies found in

4116
02:18:16,878 --> 02:18:17,611
the general plan.

4117
02:18:17,611 --> 02:18:18,179
>> Furthermore, regarding

4118
02:18:18,179 --> 02:18:20,179
zoning consistency as

4119
02:18:22,216 --> 02:18:22,816
previously described,

4120
02:18:22,816 --> 02:18:23,518
the project is utilizing

4121
02:18:23,518 --> 02:18:24,218
footnote seven and adheres to

4122
02:18:24,218 --> 02:18:26,821
the year one seven regulations

4123
02:18:26,821 --> 02:18:27,488
with allowed incentives and

4124
02:18:27,488 --> 02:18:28,550
waivers for the provision of

4125
02:18:28,550 --> 02:18:29,857
affordable housing in

4126
02:18:29,857 --> 02:18:30,558
accordance with the applicable

4127
02:18:30,558 --> 02:18:32,958
regulations of the Municipal

4128
02:18:35,363 --> 02:18:36,230
Code.

4129
02:18:36,230 --> 02:18:38,799
>> The next appeal issue is

4130
02:18:38,799 --> 02:18:39,467
violation of the 2015

4131
02:18:39,467 --> 02:18:40,168
Neighborhoods Community Plan

4132
02:18:40,168 --> 02:18:42,568
which identified the proposed

4133
02:18:43,704 --> 02:18:44,172
development site as a potential

4134
02:18:44,172 --> 02:18:44,772
community park.

4135
02:18:44,772 --> 02:18:45,440
Despite this designation

4136
02:18:45,440 --> 02:18:48,509
the city made no attempt to

4137
02:18:48,509 --> 02:18:49,142
purchase all or part of

4138
02:18:49,142 --> 02:18:49,811
the land for the intended

4139
02:18:49,811 --> 02:18:50,411
community purpose nor was a

4140
02:18:50,411 --> 02:18:52,411
community plan amendment

4141
02:18:53,514 --> 02:18:54,248
developed to mitigate the loss

4142
02:18:54,248 --> 02:18:55,820
of potential future park space.

4143
02:18:55,820 --> 02:18:58,586
This is not just a loss for

4144
02:18:58,586 --> 02:18:59,287
the choice of communities but

4145
02:18:59,287 --> 02:19:00,540
for all residents of San Diego

4146
02:19:00,540 --> 02:19:02,123
which will forever lose access

4147
02:19:02,123 --> 02:19:05,723
to one of the most remarkable

4148
02:19:06,761 --> 02:19:07,428
vistas in the city.

4149
02:19:07,428 --> 02:19:08,129
The recreation section of

4150
02:19:08,129 --> 02:19:10,529
the community plan identified

4151
02:19:11,665 --> 02:19:12,267
the project site as a potential

4152
02:19:12,267 --> 02:19:12,899
park and clarifies that

4153
02:19:12,899 --> 02:19:13,568
identification of private

4154
02:19:13,568 --> 02:19:16,568
property as a potential park

4155
02:19:17,710 --> 02:19:17,705
site does not preclude

4156
02:19:17,705 --> 02:19:18,339
permitted development per

4157
02:19:18,339 --> 02:19:21,276
the underlying land use or

4158
02:19:21,276 --> 02:19:22,430
zoned.

4159
02:19:22,430 --> 02:19:22,644
The acreage figures represented

allocated for proposed usable

4177
02:19:52,640 --> 02:19:53,340

Just further clarification To

02:20:17,640 --> 02:20:17,632
date the community plan has not

4191
02:20:17,632 --> 02:20:20,320
been updated to remove

4192
02:20:20,468 --> 02:20:21,690
the project site as a potential

section of the community plan.

4195
02:20:25,774 --> 02:20:29,374
Also I think just to address

4196
02:20:30,411 --> 02:20:31,790
some additional questions that

4197
02:20:31,790 --> 02:20:31,546

4206

4212
02:20:51,966 --> 02:20:56,166
since then and the city has not

4213

02:21:03,211 --> 02:21:06,447
This is a flawed assertion and

4217

4218
02:21:07,150 --> 02:21:07,749

fact the path to those transit

4222
02:21:16,580 --> 02:21:16,758

the difficulty of reaching

02:21:36,100 --> 02:21:38,580

accessible pocket parks located

4354
02:25:16,699 --> 02:25:17,400
on site, the project also

4355
02:25:17,400 --> 02:25:19,400
enhances connectivity and

4356
02:25:21,737 --> 02:25:22,438

4360
02:25:34,684 --> 02:25:35,384
The project supports

4361
02:25:35,384 --> 02:25:35,984
the general plan commitment of

4362
02:25:35,984 --> 02:25:37,984
creating and maintaining

4363
02:25:38,621 --> 02:25:39,155

02:25:39,155 --> 02:25:39,889
diverse communities.

4365
02:25:39,889 --> 02:25:43,250
The project would help the city

4366
02:25:43,250 --> 02:25:43,593
meet the regional housing needs

4367
02:25:43,593 --> 02:25:44,293
allocation targets and

4368
02:25:44,293 --> 02:25:47,293
the project would provide safe

concern while preparing

4762
02:37:28,968 --> 02:37:31,368
the 2022 Climate Action Plan.

4763
02:37:32,805 --> 02:37:33,506
City staff work closely closely

4764
02:37:33,506 --> 02:37:34,173
with stakeholders to develop a

4765
02:37:34,173 --> 02:37:37,173
method for scoring each cap

4766
02:37:37,977 --> 02:37:38,644
action to understand its

4767
02:37:38,644 --> 02:37:39,245
potential to prioritize and

4768
02:37:39,245 --> 02:37:39,879
empower residents within

4769
02:37:39,879 --> 02:37:42,279
communities that have been

4770
02:37:43,820 --> 02:37:43,616
historically underinvested in

4771
02:37:43,616 --> 02:37:44,160
and to address those

4772
02:37:44,160 --> 02:37:46,160
disparities.

4773
02:37:48,387 --> 02:37:49,210
To create equitable outcomes we

4774
02:37:49,210 --> 02:37:49,622
must prioritize action and

4775
02:37:49,622 --> 02:37:52,622
invest where the need is

4776
02:37:53,292 --> 02:37:54,260
greatest by involving impacted

4777
02:37:54,260 --> 02:37:54,626
community members in the city's

4778
02:37:54,626 --> 02:37:56,626
decision making process.

4779
02:37:58,264 --> 02:37:58,698
Early and through continued

4780
02:37:58,698 --> 02:37:59,399
partnerships.

4781
02:37:59,399 --> 02:38:02,999
For this reason the concept of

4782
02:38:03,369 --> 02:38:04,370
climate equity is critical

4783
02:38:04,370 --> 02:38:04,704
throughout the 2022 Climate

4784
02:38:04,704 --> 02:38:07,704
Action Plan and the similar

4785
02:38:07,974 --> 02:38:08,641
implementation plan.

4786
02:38:08,641 --> 02:38:11,641
The city will continue to

4787
02:38:12,612 --> 02:38:13,346
frequently consult with CBOs on

4788
02:38:13,346 --> 02:38:16,946
climate equity policy on use of

4789
02:38:17,283 --> 02:38:17,951
these tools specifically and on

4790
02:38:17,951 --> 02:38:18,318

today on the funding sources

4795
02:38:30,897 --> 02:38:31,598
Already one of the funding

4801
02:38:40,707 --> 02:38:41,307

4832
02:39:31,291 --> 02:39:31,858
This assertion assertion

4833
02:39:31,858 --> 02:39:32,591
disregards that it is

4834
02:39:32,591 --> 02:39:35,328

However this vote was taken

4901
02:41:23,971 --> 02:41:24,605
while Footnote seven was still

4902
02:41:24,605 --> 02:41:25,172
in effect and in fact

4903
02:41:25,172 --> 02:41:25,772
the project triggered

Engagement with the community

4910
02:41:34,648 --> 02:41:35,348
would allow the developer,

the project, the Planning

5050
02:45:30,652 --> 02:45:31,252

5051
02:45:31,252 --> 02:45:33,252
adopted an environmental

5052
02:45:35,289 --> 02:45:35,957
addendum prepared by staff.

5053
02:45:35,957 --> 02:45:36,624
An addendum is not an

5054
02:45:36,624 --> 02:45:38,624
environmental determination

5055
02:45:40,662 --> 02:45:41,396
that is subject to appeal under

5056
02:45:41,396 --> 02:45:42,960
the municipal Code or sequa and

5057
02:45:42,960 --> 02:45:45,960
therefore MAY not be appealed.

5058
02:45:46,368 --> 02:45:47,200
That conclusion is supported by

5059
02:45:47,200 --> 02:45:47,702
an appellate opinion from

5060
02:45:47,702 --> 02:45:48,136

the State Housing

5064
02:45:53,408 --> 02:45:55,808
Accountability Act because it

5065
02:45:57,112 --> 02:45:57,779
meets the definition of a

5066
02:45:57,779 --> 02:45:58,480
housing development project.

5067
02:45:58,480 --> 02:46:02,800
Under this state law the city

5068
02:46:02,817 --> 02:46:03,484
MAY not apply development

5069
02:46:03,484 --> 02:46:03,984
standards that were not in

5070
02:46:03,984 --> 02:46:04,619
effect at the time

5071
02:46:04,619 --> 02:46:07,190
The application was deemed

5072
02:46:08,556 --> 02:46:09,157
complete at the time

5073
02:46:09,157 --> 02:46:09,824
the application for this

5074
02:46:09,824 --> 02:46:12,224
project was deemed complete.

5075
02:46:12,961 --> 02:46:13,595
Footnote seven was in effect if

5076
02:46:13,595 --> 02:46:15,995
after hearing the evidence

5077
02:46:18,320 --> 02:46:18,667
presented Council would like to

5078
02:46:18,667 --> 02:46:19,367
deny the project or impose

5079
02:46:19,367 --> 02:46:22,367
conditions that the project be

5080
02:46:24,500 --> 02:46:24,806
developed a lower density.

5081
02:46:24,806 --> 02:46:25,540
State law requires that council

5082
02:46:25,540 --> 02:46:28,540
base that decision upon written

5083
02:46:30,378 --> 02:46:31,790
findings supported by a

5084
02:46:31,790 --> 02:46:31,713
preponderance of the evidence

5085
02:46:31,713 --> 02:46:32,247
on the record that each of

5086
02:46:32,247 --> 02:46:34,247
the following exist.

5087
02:46:35,684 --> 02:46:36,350
One.

5088
02:46:36,350 --> 02:46:37,190
The project would have a

5089
02:46:37,190 --> 02:46:39,419
specific adverse impact upon

5090
02:46:41,789 --> 02:46:42,557
the public health or safety.

5091
02:46:42,557 --> 02:46:43,158
And two there is no feasible

5092
02:46:43,158 --> 02:46:45,158
method to satisfactorily

5093
02:46:47,496 --> 02:46:47,828
mitigate or avoid that adverse

5094
02:46:47,828 --> 02:46:48,530
impact.

5095
02:46:48,530 --> 02:46:48,897
>> That concludes my comments.

5096
02:46:48,897 --> 02:46:50,897
All right.

5097
02:46:53,568 --> 02:46:54,503
Thank you for that.

5098
02:46:54,503 --> 02:46:55,137
So before we open it up to

5099
02:46:55,137 --> 02:46:57,537
public comment, we'll have

5100
02:46:59,341 --> 02:47:00,410
we'll hear from the appellant

5101
02:47:00,410 --> 02:47:00,475
and then we'll hear from

5102
02:47:00,475 --> 02:47:02,475
the applicant.

5103
02:47:04,880 --> 02:47:05,614
So I invite the applicant

5104
02:47:05,614 --> 02:47:05,880
excuse me the appellant to come

5105
02:47:05,880 --> 02:47:07,880
up.

5106
02:47:17,159 --> 02:47:18,127
My apologies.

5107
02:47:18,127 --> 02:47:18,794
>> And how much time do you

5108
02:47:18,794 --> 02:47:21,194
need for your presentation?

5109
02:47:22,531 --> 02:47:23,298
So I get 35 minutes.

5110
02:47:23,298 --> 02:47:23,765
If you need 35 minutes That's

5111
02:47:23,765 --> 02:47:24,320
what they talk?

5112
02:47:24,320 --> 02:47:26,320
Yes.

5113
02:47:28,336 --> 02:47:29,304
I don't think you prefer.

5114
02:47:29,304 --> 02:47:30,710
Can you tell me though how much

5115
02:47:30,710 --> 02:47:30,439
time so I can put it on

5116
02:47:30,439 --> 02:47:32,439
the table?

5117
02:47:33,976 --> 02:47:34,276
Probably 15.

5118
02:47:34,276 --> 02:47:35,210
Okay.

5119
02:47:35,210 --> 02:47:38,810
I would like to thank all

5120
02:47:39,948 --> 02:47:40,682
the community and community

5121
02:47:40,682 --> 02:47:44,282
members who are here today from

5122
02:47:45,888 --> 02:47:46,788
our beautiful city excuse me

5123
02:47:46,788 --> 02:47:50,388
who have showed up today in

5124
02:47:51,593 --> 02:47:52,294
person and online.

5125
02:47:52,294 --> 02:47:52,961
I appreciate the time,

5126
02:47:52,961 --> 02:47:53,595
the energy and the effort it

5127
02:47:53,595 --> 02:47:56,595
took folks to have better

5128
02:47:58,660 --> 02:47:58,500
support parks and Justice in

5129
02:47:58,500 --> 02:47:59,168
our community.

5130
02:47:59,168 --> 02:48:01,168
Honorable Council PRESIDENT

5131
02:48:03,671 --> 02:48:04,373
LaCava.

5132
02:48:04,373 --> 02:48:05,700
And honorable Council members.

5133
02:48:05,700 --> 02:48:07,407
Today our neighborhood of

5134
02:48:09,911 --> 02:48:10,612
AltaVista Broadway Heights,

5135
02:48:10,612 --> 02:48:13,612
Troy a few Emerald Hills

5136
02:48:15,317 --> 02:48:16,218
Encanto Lincoln Park, o'Farrell

5137
02:48:16,218 --> 02:48:19,818
and Valencia Park are sending a

5138
02:48:21,220 --> 02:48:21,690
signal to our leaders to

5139
02:48:21,690 --> 02:48:22,324
envision the opportunity to

5140
02:48:22,324 --> 02:48:24,724
create an urban sanctuary

5141
02:48:27,396 --> 02:48:28,630
investing in our children,

5142
02:48:28,630 --> 02:48:30,463
investing in our environment

5143
02:48:32,701 --> 02:48:33,435
and investing in our health.

5144
02:48:33,435 --> 02:48:34,680
I respectfully request if

5145
02:48:34,680 --> 02:48:37,680
everyone on the dais would

5146
02:48:38,239 --> 02:48:39,800
raise their hands if they've

5147
02:48:39,800 --> 02:48:42,608
ever been to the Radio Tower

5148
02:48:44,380 --> 02:48:46,380
site.

5149
02:48:50,452 --> 02:48:51,219
Next slide please.

5150
02:48:51,219 --> 02:48:54,819
Today we are sending a signal.

5151
02:48:55,925 --> 02:48:56,525
Support the appeal and use your

5152
02:48:56,525 --> 02:48:57,920
discretionary authority.

5153
02:48:57,920 --> 02:48:57,726
The City Council have

5154
02:48:57,726 --> 02:48:58,394
the choice to support our

5155
02:48:58,394 --> 02:49:01,394
appeal and deny the Emerald

5156
02:49:02,631 --> 02:49:03,265
Hills project.

5157
02:49:03,265 --> 02:49:03,966
This discretionary review

5158
02:49:03,966 --> 02:49:06,966
allows the Council to exercise

5159
02:49:08,237 --> 02:49:08,838
your legal power and authority

5160
02:49:08,838 --> 02:49:11,238
to consider whether this

5161
02:49:14,677 --> 02:49:15,377
project follows the legally

5162
02:49:15,377 --> 02:49:16,780
binding encanto community plan

5163
02:49:16,780 --> 02:49:16,445
complying with zoning laws and

5164
02:49:16,445 --> 02:49:18,445
variances.

5165
02:49:21,383 --> 02:49:22,170
The deemed project complete

5166
02:49:22,170 --> 02:49:22,652
with just the application

5167
02:49:22,652 --> 02:49:24,652
triggering vesting rights.

5168
02:49:28,190 --> 02:49:28,690
Properly qualifies for

5169
02:49:28,690 --> 02:49:29,124
the city's fiscal

5170
02:49:29,124 --> 02:49:29,792
determination.

5171
02:49:29,792 --> 02:49:32,192
This project protects public

5172
02:49:34,230 --> 02:49:34,930
safety and infrastructure in

5173
02:49:34,930 --> 02:49:35,564
very high fire severity zones

5174
02:49:35,564 --> 02:49:37,964
and evacuation routes and

5175
02:49:40,169 --> 02:49:40,737
follows sb 1000 and

5176
02:49:40,737 --> 02:49:41,270
environmental justice

5177
02:49:41,270 --> 02:49:43,270
obligation and meets

5178
02:49:45,608 --> 02:49:46,242
the requirements of

5179
02:49:46,242 --> 02:49:46,908
the discretionary permit.

5180
02:49:46,908 --> 02:49:49,908
Our appeal today argues that

5181
02:49:52,181 --> 02:49:52,882
this project does not meet any

5182
02:49:52,882 --> 02:49:56,482
of these standards and cdp g.

5183
02:49:57,186 --> 02:49:57,820
And Neighborhood Council have

5184
02:49:57,820 --> 02:49:58,487
rejected the project from

5185
02:49:58,487 --> 02:50:00,887
the very first presentation.

5186
02:50:03,659 --> 02:50:04,326
The Council should support this

5187
02:50:04,326 --> 02:50:04,826
appeal and deny the project.

5188
02:50:04,826 --> 02:50:06,826
Next slide please.

5189
02:50:09,866 --> 02:50:10,466
This project conflicts with

5190
02:50:10,466 --> 02:50:10,933
the Encanto Neighborhood

5191
02:50:10,933 --> 02:50:12,933
Community plan.

5192
02:50:15,705 --> 02:50:16,305
The Encanto Neighborhood

5193
02:50:16,305 --> 02:50:16,939
Community Plan calls for

5194
02:50:16,939 --> 02:50:19,339
preserving large lots and

5195
02:50:21,243 --> 02:50:22,110
single family neighborhoods.

5196
02:50:22,110 --> 02:50:22,745
Footnote seven Change the rules

5197
02:50:22,745 --> 02:50:25,745
without due process by reducing

5198
02:50:30,520 --> 02:50:31,220
minimum white fibers from

5199
02:50:31,220 --> 02:50:31,821
20,000ft to 5000ft in Encanto

5200
02:50:31,821 --> 02:50:34,221
and Emerald Hills only.

5201
02:50:36,893 --> 02:50:37,594
dft deems the project complete

5202
02:50:37,594 --> 02:50:40,594
and engaged vesting rights for

5203
02:50:43,432 --> 02:50:44,133
a mere application.

5204
02:50:44,133 --> 02:50:44,767
Community members invested by

5205
02:50:44,767 --> 02:50:46,767
pleased community members

5206
02:50:48,270 --> 02:50:49,500
invested extensive volunteer

5207
02:50:49,500 --> 02:50:49,671
time reviewing city records and

5208
02:50:49,671 --> 02:50:50,339
public documents leading to

5209
02:50:50,339 --> 02:50:52,739
the discovery that Footnote

5210
02:50:54,811 --> 02:50:55,578
seven was adopted improperly

5211
02:50:55,578 --> 02:50:59,178
and would never valid and must

5212
02:51:00,483 --> 02:51:01,150
not be applied to any project.

5213
02:51:01,150 --> 02:51:01,484
The process undermines due

5214
02:51:01,484 --> 02:51:03,484
process.

5215
02:51:07,156 --> 02:51:07,724
Transparency and meaningful

5216
02:51:07,724 --> 02:51:09,724
community engagement.

5217
02:51:12,695 --> 02:51:13,396
Our community is fed up with

5218
02:51:13,396 --> 02:51:13,730
being undermined by the color

5219
02:51:13,730 --> 02:51:15,730
of law.

5220
02:51:17,300 --> 02:51:19,700
The project increases density

5221
02:51:22,739 --> 02:51:23,105
by 75% and has to add 234

5222
02:51:23,105 --> 02:51:23,840
variances.

5223
02:51:23,840 --> 02:51:24,407
On top of that there are steep

5224
02:51:24,407 --> 02:51:26,807
slopes on this parcel.

5225
02:51:29,679 --> 02:51:30,120
Some waivers are three front

5226
02:51:30,120 --> 02:51:30,580
waivers.

5227
02:51:30,580 --> 02:51:31,280
Drive it driveway with

5228
02:51:31,280 --> 02:51:33,680
requirement and minimum block

5229
02:51:35,318 --> 02:51:35,652
dimension are one through seven

5230
02:51:35,652 --> 02:51:36,285
waivers.

5231
02:51:36,285 --> 02:51:39,285
Next I believe the Council

5232
02:51:41,591 --> 02:51:42,292
should support this appeal and

5233
02:51:42,292 --> 02:51:42,692
deny the project unequal land

5234
02:51:42,692 --> 02:51:44,692
use outcome.

5235
02:51:47,764 --> 02:51:48,430
The Council should not approve

5236
02:51:48,430 --> 02:51:51,430
land use patterns that place

5237
02:51:52,969 --> 02:51:53,570
greater density and concentrate

5238
02:51:53,570 --> 02:51:54,270
environmental burdens in

5239
02:51:54,270 --> 02:51:56,670
Emerald Hills while preserving

5240
02:51:59,542 --> 02:52:00,109
lower density outcomes in

5241
02:52:00,109 --> 02:52:00,643
wealthier communities.

5242
02:52:00,643 --> 02:52:01,310
This appeal compares

5243
02:52:01,310 --> 02:52:03,710
the Emerald Hill subdivision

5244
02:52:05,682 --> 02:52:08,682
with the low density approval

5245
02:52:09,519 --> 02:52:10,152
at Fox Farms in La Hoya of 18

5246
02:52:10,152 --> 02:52:13,152
homes on the same 32 acre

5247
02:52:20,196 --> 02:52:20,864
parcel compared to our 123.

5248
02:52:20,864 --> 02:52:21,598
Your decision today will or

5249
02:52:21,598 --> 02:52:22,650
will not perpetuate patterns of

5250
02:52:22,650 --> 02:52:24,650
discrimination.

5251
02:52:26,360 --> 02:52:26,669
Wealthier communities preserve

5252
02:52:26,669 --> 02:52:27,170
lower density development

5253
02:52:27,170 --> 02:52:27,771
producing a stark

5254
02:52:27,771 --> 02:52:29,771
discriminatory outcome.

5255
02:52:32,908 --> 02:52:33,477
Historically the underserved

5256
02:52:33,477 --> 02:52:34,144
structurally neglected

5257
02:52:34,144 --> 02:52:36,144
communities receive greater

5258
02:52:39,382 --> 02:52:40,500
density without any

5259
02:52:40,500 --> 02:52:40,717
infrastructure improvements.

5260
02:52:40,717 --> 02:52:43,117
Removing the opportunity to

5261
02:52:45,387 --> 02:52:46,122
right rightsize park inequity

5262
02:52:46,122 --> 02:52:46,723
in community but concerned with

5263
02:52:46,723 --> 02:52:48,723
scale environmental and

5264
02:52:51,594 --> 02:52:52,329
infrastructural infrastructure

5265
02:52:52,329 --> 02:52:52,929
burdens are concentrated in low

5266
02:52:52,929 --> 02:52:54,929
resource communities and

5267
02:52:57,701 --> 02:52:58,335
communities of color.

5268
02:52:58,335 --> 02:53:00,735
Land use decisions either

5269
02:53:03,573 --> 02:53:04,141
expand or reinforce existing

5270
02:53:04,141 --> 02:53:04,707
inequities by defining

5271
02:53:04,707 --> 02:53:06,707
environmental justice

5272
02:53:09,746 --> 02:53:10,447
opportunities.

5273
02:53:10,447 --> 02:53:11,810
Public health burdens like air

5274
02:53:11,810 --> 02:53:13,810
quality and environmental

5275
02:53:15,385 --> 02:53:16,190
justice obligations where local

5276
02:53:16,190 --> 02:53:16,587
governments adopt policies

5277
02:53:16,587 --> 02:53:17,320
reduce these burdens.

5278
02:53:17,320 --> 02:53:19,789
The Council should support this

5279
02:53:19,789 --> 02:53:22,789
appeal and deny the project.

5280
02:53:25,261 --> 02:53:26,630

Invest in our health.

Invest in our safety.

5285
02:53:33,470 --> 02:53:34,238
The Council has an opportunity

5286
02:53:34,238 --> 02:53:37,838
to set a precedent that our

5287
02:53:38,708 --> 02:53:39,343
leaders will no longer tolerate

5288
02:53:39,343 --> 02:53:39,976
Environmental injustices.

5289
02:53:39,976 --> 02:53:42,376
Support advisable Park in

5290
02:53:44,882 --> 02:53:45,616
Emerald Hills and San Diego

5291
02:53:45,616 --> 02:53:48,160
neighborhoods of color have 64%

5292
02:53:50,888 --> 02:53:51,555
less park space per person

5293
02:53:51,555 --> 02:53:53,555
versus white neighborhoods.

5294
02:53:55,425 --> 02:53:56,930
Low resource neighborhoods have

5295
02:53:56,930 --> 02:53:56,760
neighborhoods have 71% less

5296
02:53:56,760 --> 02:53:59,760

5298
02:54:05,602 --> 02:54:06,270
light.

5299
02:54:06,270 --> 02:54:08,670
>> San Diego County faces

5300
02:54:12,800 --> 02:54:12,609
serious air quality burdens but

5301
02:54:12,609 --> 02:54:15,609
we are the seventh worth

5302
02:54:16,580 --> 02:54:17,281
nationally for ozone and

5303
02:54:17,281 --> 02:54:20,851

report.

5307
02:54:27,240 --> 02:54:27,591
A park could mitigate some of

5308
02:54:27,591 --> 02:54:28,258
this fighting historic

5309
02:54:28,258 --> 02:54:30,658
disinvestment and neglect in

02:54:33,229 --> 02:54:33,864
our underserved communities by

5311
02:54:33,864 --> 02:54:34,498
investing in our children,

5312
02:54:34,498 --> 02:54:36,498
enriching educational and

5313
02:54:39,437 --> 02:54:40,137
economic opportunity through

5314
02:54:40,137 --> 02:54:40,471
health, well-being and social

5315
02:54:40,471 --> 02:54:42,471
impact.

5316
02:54:45,508 --> 02:54:46,243
This is the medicine of our

5317
02:54:46,243 --> 02:54:46,910
times and sizable park but also

5318
02:54:46,910 --> 02:54:49,310
support park equity, climate

5319
02:54:51,215 --> 02:54:51,849
equity, public health and

5320
02:54:51,849 --> 02:54:52,348
community Quality of life.

5321
02:54:52,348 --> 02:54:54,348
Next slide please.

5322
02:54:57,821 --> 02:54:58,555
The Council should support

5323
02:54:58,555 --> 02:54:59,188
the appeal and deny the project

5324
02:54:59,188 --> 02:55:01,188
fp 1000 and Environmental

5325
02:55:03,160 --> 02:55:03,761
Justice obligations.

5326
02:55:03,761 --> 02:55:04,427
This project is an

5327
02:55:04,427 --> 02:55:06,427
environmental burden because

5328
02:55:09,166 --> 02:55:09,533
the community loses sizable

5329
02:55:09,533 --> 02:55:10,100
parkland.

5330
02:55:10,100 --> 02:55:12,500
A climate action goal.

5331
02:55:15,506 --> 02:55:16,720
The city has an obligation to

5332
02:55:16,720 --> 02:55:16,707
decrease the burden on

5333
02:55:16,707 --> 02:55:17,700
environmental degradation

5334
02:55:17,700 --> 02:55:19,700
right?

5335
02:55:21,445 --> 02:55:22,146
Both neighborhoods

5336
02:55:22,146 --> 02:55:22,780
disproportionately burdened by

5337
02:55:22,780 --> 02:55:23,112
pollution or environmental

5338
02:55:23,112 --> 02:55:25,112
hazards.

5339
02:55:26,951 --> 02:55:27,651
Ensure residents are actively

5340
02:55:27,651 --> 02:55:28,351
involved in municipal decision

5341
02:55:28,351 --> 02:55:31,351
making and land use planning.

5342
02:55:33,390 --> 02:55:34,125
Adopt tailored goals and policy

5343
02:55:34,125 --> 02:55:34,859
to reduce pollution exposure,

5344
02:55:34,859 --> 02:55:35,292
improve air quality and promote

5345
02:55:35,292 --> 02:55:37,292
public health.

5346
02:55:39,663 --> 02:55:40,231
Address systemic inequities

5347
02:55:40,231 --> 02:55:40,731
that focus heavily on

5348
02:55:40,731 --> 02:55:42,731
accessible parks.

5349
02:55:45,669 --> 02:55:46,237
Equitable access to healthy

5350
02:55:46,237 --> 02:55:46,904
food and safe housing.

5351
02:55:46,904 --> 02:55:49,904
i believe the Council should

5352
02:55:51,642 --> 02:55:52,420
support the appeal and deny

5353
02:55:52,420 --> 02:55:52,677
the project.

5354
02:55:52,677 --> 02:55:53,244
Fire evacuation risks and

5355
02:55:53,244 --> 02:55:55,244
public safety issues.

5356
02:55:57,314 --> 02:55:57,982
Poor evacuation routes can turn

5357
02:55:57,982 --> 02:56:00,982
added density into a serious

5358
02:56:02,787 --> 02:56:03,654
fire safety risk.

5359
02:56:03,654 --> 02:56:07,854
This project is in a very high

5360
02:56:08,859 --> 02:56:09,694
fire severity zone.

5361
02:56:09,694 --> 02:56:12,940
Imagine 123 more homes or

5362
02:56:14,231 --> 02:56:14,565
possibly 492 homes with a bonus

5363
02:56:14,565 --> 02:56:16,565
adu law.

5364
02:56:19,337 --> 02:56:20,400
The surrounding area also has

5365
02:56:20,400 --> 02:56:20,738
limited nearby fire station

5366
02:56:20,738 --> 02:56:23,138
coverage making safe evacuation

5367
02:56:25,909 --> 02:56:26,577
routes an emergency access even

5368
02:56:26,577 --> 02:56:26,944
more important in a wildfire

5369
02:56:26,944 --> 02:56:28,944
emergency.

5370
02:56:31,616 --> 02:56:32,250
Narrow or constrained roads can

5371
02:56:32,250 --> 02:56:34,250
create traffic bottlenecks

5372
02:56:37,755 --> 02:56:38,289
delayed evacuation slower

5373
02:56:38,289 --> 02:56:38,989
emergency response.

5374
02:56:38,989 --> 02:56:39,390
Public safety concerns during

5375
02:56:39,390 --> 02:56:41,390
evacuations.

5376
02:56:44,162 --> 02:56:44,695
The surrounding road network

5377
02:56:44,695 --> 02:56:45,363
cannot safely handle

5378
02:56:45,363 --> 02:56:47,363
evacuations under emergency

5379
02:56:49,767 --> 02:56:50,368
conditions.

5380
02:56:50,368 --> 02:56:51,200
Next slide please.

5381
02:56:51,200 --> 02:56:53,402
The council should support

5382
02:56:54,238 --> 02:56:57,838
the appeal and deny the project

5383
02:57:00,945 --> 02:57:01,879
line.

5384
02:57:01,879 --> 02:57:05,479
>> So but this would be a

5385
02:57:06,984 --> 02:57:07,785
solution The land swap solution

5386
02:57:07,785 --> 02:57:08,319
for a legacy park a community

5387
02:57:08,319 --> 02:57:09,530
center solution that

5388
02:57:09,530 --> 02:57:11,453
prioritizes public parkland and

5389
02:57:13,240 --> 02:57:13,692
environmental protection and

5390
02:57:13,692 --> 02:57:14,425
public safety a legacy park

5391
02:57:14,425 --> 02:57:15,590
proposing a solution that would

5392
02:57:15,590 --> 02:57:17,590
facilitate an alternative

5393
02:57:19,697 --> 02:57:20,331
development for D.R. Horton in

5394
02:57:20,331 --> 02:57:20,965
exchange for radio towers

5395
02:57:20,965 --> 02:57:21,266
parcels and permanent park

5396
02:57:21,266 --> 02:57:23,266
land.

5397
02:57:26,371 --> 02:57:27,105
The framework for this is not

5398
02:57:27,105 --> 02:57:30,105
an untested idea in California.

5399
02:57:31,576 --> 02:57:32,177
The developer received a viable

5400
02:57:32,177 --> 02:57:32,810
low risk alternative.

5401
02:57:32,810 --> 02:57:33,510
The city advances housing

5402
02:57:33,510 --> 02:57:36,510
production on a more suitable

5403
02:57:38,650 --> 02:57:39,183
site while honoring

5404
02:57:39,183 --> 02:57:39,884
the community plan.

5405
02:57:39,884 --> 02:57:40,518
The residents of southeastern

5406
02:57:40,518 --> 02:57:44,118
Diego received a once in a

5407
02:57:44,187 --> 02:57:44,856
generation destination park.

5408
02:57:44,856 --> 02:57:47,256
This is pragmatic equity

5409
02:57:50,428 --> 02:57:50,795
centered problem solving

5410
02:57:50,795 --> 02:57:51,496
solution.

5411
02:57:51,496 --> 02:57:55,960
We are asking the City Council

5412
02:57:57,234 --> 02:57:57,869
to champion a legacy The park

5413
02:57:57,869 --> 02:57:58,570
could honor our veterans.

5414
02:57:58,570 --> 02:57:59,304
Could honor our sports icons,

5415
02:57:59,304 --> 02:58:02,304
put onto honor our cultural

5416
02:58:02,841 --> 02:58:03,441
icons from our community.

5417
02:58:03,441 --> 02:58:07,410
A place for the rest of

5418
02:58:08,446 --> 02:58:09,147
the city to take in the vistas

5419
02:58:09,147 --> 02:58:09,450
and the beauty of our amazing

5420
02:58:09,450 --> 02:58:10,114
city.

5421
02:58:10,114 --> 02:58:12,514
This Council should support

5422
02:58:14,285 --> 02:58:14,719
this appeal and deny

5423
02:58:14,719 --> 02:58:15,530
the project.

5424
02:58:15,530 --> 02:58:15,754
Please.

5425
02:58:15,754 --> 02:58:19,354
Today we are sending a signal

5426
02:58:20,291 --> 02:58:20,959
to City Council to support our

5427
02:58:20,959 --> 02:58:21,626
appeal and to exercise your

5428
02:58:21,626 --> 02:58:24,260
legal power of discretionary

5429
02:58:26,731 --> 02:58:27,432
review.

5430
02:58:27,432 --> 02:58:27,999
This Council has the authority

5431
02:58:27,999 --> 02:58:28,733
to support the appeal.

5432
02:58:28,733 --> 02:58:31,733
This Council has an opportunity

5433
02:58:32,870 --> 02:58:33,504
to right size historic

5434
02:58:33,504 --> 02:58:35,504
disinvestment and neglect.

5435
02:58:38,376 --> 02:58:39,440
Enjoy the Valley communities

5436
02:58:39,440 --> 02:58:39,310
see the vision our community

5437
02:58:39,310 --> 02:58:39,910
has.

5438
02:58:39,910 --> 02:58:40,245
This is a discretionary

5439
02:58:40,245 --> 02:58:42,245
project.

5440
02:58:44,148 --> 02:58:44,783
This project conflicts with

5441
02:58:44,783 --> 02:58:45,383
the neighborhood community

5442
02:58:45,383 --> 02:58:47,383
the Encanto Neighborhood

5443
02:58:50,256 --> 02:58:50,922
Community Plan and Footnote

5444
02:58:50,922 --> 02:58:51,589
seven undermines due process

5445
02:58:51,589 --> 02:58:53,589
transparency and meaningful

5446
02:58:56,193 --> 02:58:56,861
community engagement.

5447
02:58:56,861 --> 02:58:57,428
The project fails to comply

5448
02:58:57,428 --> 02:58:59,828
with fha Park Equity

5449
02:59:02,267 --> 02:59:02,868
Environmental justice

5450
02:59:02,868 --> 02:59:03,368
Infrastructure and fire

5451
02:59:03,368 --> 02:59:05,368
Evacuation safety.

5452
02:59:08,730 --> 02:59:08,672
Invest in your children.

5453
02:59:08,672 --> 02:59:09,508
Invest in our children.

5454
02:59:09,508 --> 02:59:13,108
Invest in our health and invest

5455
02:59:14,512 --> 02:59:15,279
in our safety.

5456
02:59:15,279 --> 02:59:15,947
Together let's create an urban

5457
02:59:15,947 --> 02:59:18,347
sanctuary for our beautiful

5458
02:59:20,184 --> 02:59:20,951
city.

5459
02:59:20,951 --> 02:59:21,587
You can't make more land.

5460
02:59:21,587 --> 02:59:22,888
The Council should support

5461
02:59:22,888 --> 02:59:23,288
the appeal and deny

5462
02:59:23,288 --> 02:59:25,288
the project.

5463
02:59:37,936 --> 02:59:39,936
>> Thank you.

5464
02:59:45,243 --> 02:59:49,443
By this they have more to do.

5465
02:59:51,490 --> 02:59:51,850
>> Can you play the next slide

5466
02:59:51,850 --> 02:59:52,117
which is a new article from

5467
02:59:52,117 --> 02:59:54,117
tpf.

5468
02:59:58,723 --> 03:00:00,723
Is that allowable?

5469
03:00:05,397 --> 03:00:06,131
Thank you.

5470
03:00:06,131 --> 03:00:09,131
>> There's nothing on the slide

5471
03:00:10,434 --> 03:00:11,203
but a white screen.

5472
03:00:11,203 --> 03:00:14,803
I'm sorry but we could have

5473
03:00:16,742 --> 03:00:17,708
only put it into the record.

5474
03:00:17,708 --> 03:00:21,908
No, this is the last slide that

5475
03:00:27,953 --> 03:00:28,352
we received.

5476
03:00:28,352 --> 03:00:30,222
>> Okay.

5477
03:00:30,222 --> 03:00:33,822
Now I invite the applicant on

5478
03:00:48,540 --> 03:00:49,273
the project.

5479
03:00:49,273 --> 03:00:49,641
>> Good afternoon, MR. Council

5480
03:00:49,641 --> 03:00:51,641
PRESIDENT.

5481
03:00:55,914 --> 03:00:56,415
We give equal time to

5482
03:00:56,415 --> 03:00:56,849
the applicant and

5483
03:00:56,849 --> 03:00:57,282
the appellant.

5484
03:00:57,282 --> 03:00:58,170
They took 15.

5485
03:00:58,170 --> 03:01:01,170
I'm sorry They took 15 minutes.

5486
03:01:03,155 --> 03:01:03,472
So that is fine.

5487
03:01:03,472 --> 03:01:04,189
Okay.

5488
03:01:04,189 --> 03:01:04,556
And it was off the record.

5489
03:01:04,556 --> 03:01:05,157
Thank you.

5490
03:01:05,157 --> 03:01:05,624
I agree in this regard.

5491
03:01:05,624 --> 03:01:07,593
Good afternoon.

We're very pleased to present

5497
03:01:13,532 --> 03:01:13,899

appreciate staff's dedication

5502
03:01:19,438 --> 03:01:20,172
and time.

5503
03:01:20,172 --> 03:01:23,772
Over the past several months if

5504
03:01:24,108 --> 03:01:24,743
not years.

5505
03:01:24,743 --> 03:01:25,411
We also appreciate

5506
03:01:25,411 --> 03:01:26,145
the appellant's presentation

5507
03:01:26,145 --> 03:01:26,679
and we appreciate the community

5508
03:01:26,679 --> 03:01:28,679
standing behind me.

5509
03:01:30,482 --> 03:01:30,916
We have been very involved with

5510
03:01:30,916 --> 03:01:31,617
the community.

5511
03:01:31,617 --> 03:01:35,217
I'll be short with our overall

5512
03:01:36,210 --> 03:01:36,722
visual presentation.

5513
03:01:36,722 --> 03:01:37,857
That was your first warning.

5514
03:01:37,857 --> 03:01:41,994
I will be very brief as to our

5515
03:01:41,994 --> 03:01:42,761
next slide please.

5516
03:01:42,761 --> 03:01:43,462
I'll be very brief as the staff

5517
03:01:43,462 --> 03:01:47,620
report was very thorough and I

5518
03:01:48,633 --> 03:01:49,301
don't need to be redundant.

5519
03:01:49,301 --> 03:01:49,901
Our project includes, as we

5520
03:01:49,901 --> 03:01:51,901
heard 223 single family

5521
03:01:54,507 --> 03:01:55,208
detached homes set on a minimum

5522
03:01:55,208 --> 03:01:57,608
of 5000 square foot lots.

5523
03:01:59,712 --> 03:02:00,412
These lots however near average

5524
03:02:00,412 --> 03:02:01,180
nearly 6000 square foot lots.

5525
03:02:01,180 --> 03:02:01,512
These lots also stretch into 7

5526
03:02:01,512 --> 03:02:03,512
to 8in.

5527
03:02:05,717 --> 03:02:06,318
The proposals also include open

5528
03:02:06,318 --> 03:02:06,886
space areas designed for

5529
03:02:06,886 --> 03:02:07,553
passive recreation for

5530
03:02:07,553 --> 03:02:09,953
the community residences and

5531
03:02:11,389 --> 03:02:12,124
open to the public for

5532
03:02:12,124 --> 03:02:12,824
the general community to enjoy.

5533
03:02:12,824 --> 03:02:15,824
These open spaces will include

5534
03:02:17,196 --> 03:02:17,863
typical passive amenities such

5535
03:02:17,863 --> 03:02:18,531
as park benches, fountains,

5536
03:02:18,531 --> 03:02:20,931
accommodations for dogs but

5537
03:02:23,135 --> 03:02:23,636
even more importantly provides

5538
03:02:23,636 --> 03:02:24,370
an opportunity for

5539
03:02:24,370 --> 03:02:25,710
the community to converse, meet

5540
03:02:25,710 --> 03:02:28,671
and just discuss and of course

5541
03:02:28,941 --> 03:02:29,442
enjoy the views.

5542
03:02:29,442 --> 03:02:31,442
Next slide please.

5543
03:02:34,513 --> 03:02:34,913
The project is access to Hopper

5544
03:02:34,913 --> 03:02:35,581
16th Street.

5545
03:02:35,581 --> 03:02:38,984
It has one access object but

5546
03:02:38,984 --> 03:02:39,485
emergency vehicle access after

5547
03:02:39,485 --> 03:02:40,152
full memory lane.

5548
03:02:40,152 --> 03:02:41,120
That was done by chance.

5549
03:02:41,120 --> 03:02:44,720
That was done by design in

5550
03:02:44,790 --> 03:02:45,457
conformance with all

5551
03:02:45,457 --> 03:02:46,920
the ability requirements set

5552
03:02:46,920 --> 03:02:48,492
forth under this project.

5553
03:02:50,596 --> 03:02:51,297
We are very pleased that part

5554
03:02:51,297 --> 03:02:51,931
of this project is going to

5555
03:02:51,931 --> 03:02:52,631
include substantial public

5556
03:02:52,631 --> 03:02:54,631
infrastructure improvements to

5557
03:02:58,437 --> 03:03:00,837
the city namely 60 Street, 62

5558
03:03:01,107 --> 03:03:01,774
Street and likely 63 and

5559
03:03:01,774 --> 03:03:02,508
present condition looks like

5560
03:03:02,508 --> 03:03:06,108
that And that's what we've been

5561
03:03:06,612 --> 03:03:06,979
seeing for years with this

5562
03:03:06,979 --> 03:03:07,680
community.

5563
03:03:07,680 --> 03:03:11,280
This is a situation that right

5564
03:03:12,785 --> 03:03:13,386
now and staff will confirm does

5565
03:03:13,386 --> 03:03:14,120
not meet all the safety

5566
03:03:14,120 --> 03:03:14,554
requirements of the city namely

5567
03:03:14,554 --> 03:03:16,554
site distance.

5568
03:03:18,257 --> 03:03:19,125
Next slide please.

5569
03:03:19,125 --> 03:03:22,628
What we plan on doing with our

5570
03:03:22,628 --> 03:03:23,363
proposal is to improve 60

5571
03:03:23,363 --> 03:03:23,663
Street and widen 60th Street by

5572
03:03:23,663 --> 03:03:25,663
18ft.

5573
03:03:27,633 --> 03:03:28,368
This will give us the ability

5574
03:03:28,368 --> 03:03:30,768
to provide sidewalks, provide

5575
03:03:33,506 --> 03:03:34,174
dog trails, provide curb

5576
03:03:34,174 --> 03:03:36,574
separated landscaping and of

5577
03:03:39,379 --> 03:03:40,179
course drainage facilities.

5578
03:03:40,179 --> 03:03:40,947
This will be representative of

5579
03:03:40,947 --> 03:03:44,547
what we believe is a great

5580
03:03:45,485 --> 03:03:45,985
entry to this community and

5581
03:03:45,985 --> 03:03:46,419
enjoyed by all of

5582
03:03:46,419 --> 03:03:48,419
the community.

5583
03:03:50,457 --> 03:03:51,224
Next slide please.

5584
03:03:51,224 --> 03:03:54,824
This is a quick diagram that

5585
03:03:57,630 --> 03:03:57,397
shows the tree section of 60

5586
03:03:57,397 --> 03:03:58,131
Street.

5587
03:03:58,131 --> 03:03:58,830
It's a little small so I'm not

5588
03:03:58,830 --> 03:04:02,302
expecting you to look at that.

5589
03:04:02,302 --> 03:04:03,200
But what we're trying to show

5590
03:04:03,200 --> 03:04:03,737
here is that there is no

5591
03:04:03,737 --> 03:04:06,737
question that the community has

5592
03:04:08,410 --> 03:04:08,775
not have a great record for

5593
03:04:08,775 --> 03:04:12,375
sidewalks there does not have a

5594
03:04:13,813 --> 03:04:14,514
great planning from decades ago

5595
03:04:14,514 --> 03:04:14,814
And we hear that loud and

5596
03:04:14,814 --> 03:04:15,514
clear.

5597
03:04:15,514 --> 03:04:18,384
What we're trying to represent

5598
03:04:18,384 --> 03:04:19,185
here is what we are being

5599
03:04:19,185 --> 03:04:19,819
required to provide in terms of

5600
03:04:19,819 --> 03:04:22,819
what the city policies and

5601
03:04:24,590 --> 03:04:25,291
guidelines require and we are

5602
03:04:25,291 --> 03:04:28,291
providing that next slide and

5603
03:04:29,696 --> 03:04:30,263
we should make a quick notation

5604
03:04:30,263 --> 03:04:30,964
that we're very proud.

5605
03:04:30,964 --> 03:04:34,564
The purpose of why we're here

5606
03:04:34,567 --> 03:04:35,201
our proposal is to provide

5607
03:04:35,201 --> 03:04:35,535
homeownership generational

5608
03:04:35,535 --> 03:04:36,102
wealth.

5609
03:04:36,102 --> 03:04:38,502
We're here to provide

5610
03:04:40,406 --> 03:04:41,730
opportunities for all.

5611
03:04:41,730 --> 03:04:41,673
And in doing that we're

5612
03:04:41,673 --> 03:04:42,308
presenting four distinct

5613
03:04:42,308 --> 03:04:44,308
architectural plans doing

5614
03:04:46,413 --> 03:04:47,280
Craftsman traditional.

5615
03:04:47,280 --> 03:04:48,148
It just goes to show that what

5616
03:04:48,148 --> 03:04:51,748
we're trying to do here is

5617
03:04:51,851 --> 03:04:52,519
bring homeownership that's

5618
03:04:52,519 --> 03:04:52,951
compatible with the existing

5619
03:04:52,951 --> 03:04:54,951
neighborhood.

5620
03:04:56,823 --> 03:04:57,524
We're proud of those And we

5621
03:04:57,524 --> 03:04:58,224
think that the city should be

5622
03:04:58,224 --> 03:04:58,858
proud of this And we know

5623
03:04:58,858 --> 03:05:01,858
the folks behind me won't

5624
03:05:02,295 --> 03:05:03,290
support this.

5625
03:05:03,290 --> 03:05:03,430
But home ownership shouldn't be

5626
03:05:03,430 --> 03:05:05,430
a privilege.

5627
03:05:07,500 --> 03:05:08,233
It should be a right and it

5628
03:05:08,233 --> 03:05:08,602
should be something afforded to

5629
03:05:08,602 --> 03:05:09,302
everyone.

5630
03:05:09,302 --> 03:05:11,702
And we believe wholeheartedly

5631
03:05:13,439 --> 03:05:14,107
that we're part of that

5632
03:05:14,107 --> 03:05:14,407
objective in the city of San

5633
03:05:14,407 --> 03:05:16,407
Diego.

5634
03:05:18,678 --> 03:05:19,479
Next slide.

5635
03:05:19,479 --> 03:05:20,212
>> The very beginning of this

5636
03:05:20,212 --> 03:05:23,550
proposal and I will describe in

5637
03:05:23,550 --> 03:05:27,750
very detail here in a moment we

5638
03:05:28,540 --> 03:05:28,922
started our community outreach

5639
03:05:28,922 --> 03:05:33,930
nearly four years ago a year in

5640
03:05:33,930 --> 03:05:33,627
advance of technically a formal

5641
03:05:33,627 --> 03:05:34,261
review by the city.

5642
03:05:34,261 --> 03:05:37,261
We were introduced and we

5643
03:05:38,431 --> 03:05:39,166
became very involved with a

5644
03:05:39,166 --> 03:05:39,666
wide variety of interest groups

5645
03:05:39,666 --> 03:05:41,666
and organizations.

5646
03:05:43,770 --> 03:05:44,438
Aside from the pioneer Group

5647
03:05:44,438 --> 03:05:45,138
and the local Emerald Hills

5648
03:05:45,138 --> 03:05:47,538
neighborhood group, we became

5649
03:05:49,900 --> 03:05:49,709
very close with the National

5650
03:05:49,709 --> 03:05:51,709
Black Contractors Association

5651
03:05:53,980 --> 03:05:54,581
and why we want to bring jobs

5652
03:05:54,581 --> 03:05:55,449
to the community.

5653
03:05:55,449 --> 03:05:59,490
We heard loud and clear from

5654
03:05:59,686 --> 03:06:00,120
this association We want jobs

5655
03:06:00,120 --> 03:06:02,120
in San Diego.

5656
03:06:03,857 --> 03:06:04,358
Do not give our jobs away to

5657
03:06:04,358 --> 03:06:05,125
outside counties.

5658
03:06:05,125 --> 03:06:08,725
So we became members of this

5659
03:06:09,960 --> 03:06:09,563
association and we're acting on

5660
03:06:09,563 --> 03:06:10,230
that commitment.

5661
03:06:10,230 --> 03:06:10,964
The National Association of

5662
03:06:10,964 --> 03:06:13,964
Real Estate Brokers they're not

5663
03:06:14,468 --> 03:06:15,168
just brokers.

5664
03:06:15,168 --> 03:06:15,869
They're folks who have devoted

5665
03:06:15,869 --> 03:06:18,869
themselves to this culture and

5666
03:06:20,173 --> 03:06:20,874
to this community and to

5667
03:06:20,874 --> 03:06:21,208
the betterment of fair housing

5668
03:06:21,208 --> 03:06:23,208
for all.

5669
03:06:24,945 --> 03:06:25,612
No, they're just not brokers.

5670
03:06:25,612 --> 03:06:25,946
They're not just real estate

5671
03:06:25,946 --> 03:06:26,447
agents.

5672
03:06:26,447 --> 03:06:28,447
They're advocates.

5673
03:06:29,916 --> 03:06:30,584
And I believe that we are very

5674
03:06:30,584 --> 03:06:31,284
proud to be part of that

5675
03:06:31,284 --> 03:06:34,284
organization and we work very

5676
03:06:35,422 --> 03:06:36,230
closely with Nerad and we are

5677
03:06:36,230 --> 03:06:38,423
going to continue our

5678
03:06:40,260 --> 03:06:40,894
relationship beyond hopeful

5679
03:06:40,894 --> 03:06:41,728
approval of this project.

5680
03:06:41,728 --> 03:06:45,328
We believe and what their their

5681
03:06:45,399 --> 03:06:46,660
objectives are And we stand

5682
03:06:46,660 --> 03:06:48,466
firm with their commitment.

5683
03:06:49,703 --> 03:06:50,404
We've made notation with San

5684
03:06:50,404 --> 03:06:51,700
Diego County Urban League that

5685
03:06:51,700 --> 03:06:53,470
most importantly is meeting

5686
03:06:55,408 --> 03:06:56,760
with homeowners, meeting with

5687
03:06:56,760 --> 03:06:58,476
individuals like Kenny Keys.

5688
03:06:59,948 --> 03:07:00,681
I like Kenny Keys.

5689
03:07:00,681 --> 03:07:00,981
He's invited me to his living

5690
03:07:00,981 --> 03:07:01,748
room.

5691
03:07:01,748 --> 03:07:04,585
I don't realize me now but we

5692
03:07:04,585 --> 03:07:05,185
started out as friends but we

5693
03:07:05,185 --> 03:07:05,519
started out opening up a

5694
03:07:05,519 --> 03:07:07,519
dialog.

5695
03:07:09,623 --> 03:07:10,290
Next slide please.

5696
03:07:10,290 --> 03:07:10,990
We opened up a dialog

5697
03:07:10,990 --> 03:07:13,390
represented by this diagram

5698
03:07:14,294 --> 03:07:15,620
here.

5699
03:07:15,620 --> 03:07:18,662
This is a process and a

5700
03:07:19,232 --> 03:07:19,933
timeline and I'll briefly go

5701
03:07:19,933 --> 03:07:22,933
through It is pretty amazing.

5702
03:07:23,871 --> 03:07:24,538
As I said earlier, we spent

5703
03:07:24,538 --> 03:07:25,205
the first 12 months working

5704
03:07:25,205 --> 03:07:28,205
with the planning area group

5705
03:07:28,475 --> 03:07:28,876
and the neighborhood council

5706
03:07:28,876 --> 03:07:29,676
groups.

5707
03:07:29,676 --> 03:07:30,543
We went to neighborhoods, we

5708
03:07:30,543 --> 03:07:34,143
went to living rooms We had

5709
03:07:34,148 --> 03:07:34,848
conducted meetings not required

5710
03:07:34,848 --> 03:07:37,848
not required by the applicant.

5711
03:07:39,186 --> 03:07:42,186
We volunteered to get ourselves

5712
03:07:43,124 --> 03:07:43,924
out in front of the issues 12

5713
03:07:43,924 --> 03:07:44,458
months in fact don't say we

5714
03:07:44,458 --> 03:07:46,858
didn't do our best.

5715
03:07:48,950 --> 03:07:48,829
The community outreach because

5716
03:07:48,829 --> 03:07:51,829
the next steps included meeting

5717
03:07:52,633 --> 03:07:53,500
with individual homeowners.

5718
03:07:53,500 --> 03:07:54,268
We finally get to a point where

5719
03:07:54,268 --> 03:07:57,868
the city blessed all of our

5720
03:07:58,238 --> 03:07:58,772
paperwork, all of our reports

5721
03:07:58,772 --> 03:07:59,507
and then we began.

5722
03:07:59,507 --> 03:08:03,107
The next step was the formal

5723
03:08:03,110 --> 03:08:04,780
review of the city staff.

5724
03:08:04,780 --> 03:08:07,780
24 months later we end up

5725
03:08:07,653 --> 03:08:08,382
applying to Commission Planning

5726
03:08:08,382 --> 03:08:11,382
Commission as we heard approved

5727
03:08:12,486 --> 03:08:12,986
this project.

5728
03:08:12,986 --> 03:08:14,986
Seven No unanimous

5729
03:08:16,791 --> 03:08:17,558
recommendation or can you

5730
03:08:17,558 --> 03:08:21,620
please of that That was not

5731
03:08:21,620 --> 03:08:21,695
that's not an easy feat and

5732
03:08:21,695 --> 03:08:22,296
that means they supported

5733
03:08:22,296 --> 03:08:22,930
the technical aspects of

5734
03:08:22,930 --> 03:08:25,330
everything that your staff

5735
03:08:26,634 --> 03:08:27,268
worked very hard over a period

5736
03:08:27,268 --> 03:08:30,268
of years to bring forth.

5737
03:08:31,105 --> 03:08:31,972
They reviewed all the technical

5738
03:08:31,972 --> 03:08:32,707
aspects and I don't need to be

5739
03:08:32,707 --> 03:08:35,707
redundant that moving from that

5740
03:08:35,777 --> 03:08:36,444
point did we stop our community

5741
03:08:36,444 --> 03:08:37,144
outreach just because we got

5742
03:08:37,144 --> 03:08:39,144
planning commission approval?

5743
03:08:40,800 --> 03:08:40,614
No, we did not.

5744
03:08:40,614 --> 03:08:42,614
We continued.

5745
03:08:44,985 --> 03:08:45,686
We continue to meet with

5746
03:08:45,686 --> 03:08:48,860
various individuals with also

5747
03:08:49,824 --> 03:08:50,524
the plenary group and

5748
03:08:50,524 --> 03:08:50,825
the environmental neighborhood

5749
03:08:50,825 --> 03:08:52,825
group.

5750
03:08:54,362 --> 03:08:55,960
We met at coffee shops.

5751
03:08:55,960 --> 03:08:55,429
We met with folks pro and

5752
03:08:55,429 --> 03:08:55,996
against.

5753
03:08:55,996 --> 03:08:58,396
We stuck with it.

5754
03:08:59,667 --> 03:09:00,401
We did not walk away from our

5755
03:09:00,401 --> 03:09:04,100
passionate D.R. Horton which is

5756
03:09:04,238 --> 03:09:04,906
to provide quality home

5757
03:09:04,906 --> 03:09:05,206
ownership to the city of San

5758
03:09:05,206 --> 03:09:07,206
Diego.

5759
03:09:08,643 --> 03:09:09,277
We could have walked and many

5760
03:09:09,277 --> 03:09:09,810
competitors would've said

5761
03:09:09,810 --> 03:09:10,311
Forget this madness.

5762
03:09:10,311 --> 03:09:12,711
We're out of here.

5763
03:09:13,747 --> 03:09:14,549
We stuck by our guns and these

5764
03:09:14,549 --> 03:09:17,549
people behind me, they know

5765
03:09:18,190 --> 03:09:18,619
that.

5766
03:09:18,619 --> 03:09:19,520
Do they like me?

5767
03:09:19,520 --> 03:09:21,520
Probably not.

5768
03:09:22,757 --> 03:09:23,658
But they can't say for a moment

5769
03:09:23,658 --> 03:09:27,328
that we did not do our business

5770
03:09:27,328 --> 03:09:27,662
in terms of community outreach

5771
03:09:27,662 --> 03:09:29,662
.

5772
03:09:31,866 --> 03:09:32,934
Now we're here actually.

5773
03:09:32,934 --> 03:09:35,934
>> We're here not just to

5774
03:09:37,105 --> 03:09:37,471
represent another home

5775
03:09:37,471 --> 03:09:39,471
proposal.

5776
03:09:41,909 --> 03:09:42,710
We are proud that we represent

5777
03:09:42,710 --> 03:09:43,344
18 over 18 land use policies

5778
03:09:43,344 --> 03:09:45,744
established by this city.

5779
03:09:47,480 --> 03:09:47,615
We're proud of that.

5780
03:09:47,615 --> 03:09:48,160
We're proud of that.

5781
03:09:48,160 --> 03:09:48,849
Next slide.

5782
03:09:48,849 --> 03:09:51,686
We're proud that we were able

5783
03:09:51,686 --> 03:09:52,386
to comply with a number of

5784
03:09:52,386 --> 03:09:53,540
very, very technical policies.

5785
03:09:53,540 --> 03:09:56,540
But I particularly proud of

5786
03:09:56,658 --> 03:09:56,991
what I've highlighted here in

5787
03:09:56,991 --> 03:09:57,725
yellow.

5788
03:09:57,725 --> 03:10:00,962
The top one and I bring

5789
03:10:00,962 --> 03:10:01,696
emphasis to it.

5790
03:10:01,696 --> 03:10:04,933
We're helping the city of San

5791
03:10:04,933 --> 03:10:05,500
Diego with their goal of

5792
03:10:05,500 --> 03:10:06,134
reaching over 109,000

5793
03:10:06,134 --> 03:10:08,534
residences of which you've

5794
03:10:09,804 --> 03:10:10,104
achieved a lot over 36,000

5795
03:10:10,104 --> 03:10:10,772
homes.

5796
03:10:10,772 --> 03:10:13,172
Well, aren't 23 doesn't seem

5797
03:10:13,908 --> 03:10:14,474
like a big number.

5798
03:10:14,474 --> 03:10:16,474
Every home counts.

5799
03:10:18,790 --> 03:10:18,746
And I'm going to quote one of

5800
03:10:18,746 --> 03:10:19,380
your council members I can't

5801
03:10:19,380 --> 03:10:22,980
remember who it was but it

5802
03:10:23,218 --> 03:10:24,520
resonated with me.

5803
03:10:24,520 --> 03:10:24,686
And you can raise your hand if

5804
03:10:24,686 --> 03:10:27,860
you recognize this quote.

5805
03:10:27,655 --> 03:10:28,356
Every new front door built in

5806
03:10:28,356 --> 03:10:31,956
the city of San Diego affords

5807
03:10:32,961 --> 03:10:33,628
an opportunity for a family to

5808
03:10:33,628 --> 03:10:34,262
walk in and that is our

5809
03:10:34,262 --> 03:10:37,262
passionate D.R. Horton and

5810
03:10:37,265 --> 03:10:37,932
we're pleased to share that

5811
03:10:37,932 --> 03:10:38,632
passion with that city that

5812
03:10:38,632 --> 03:10:41,632
moving forward we have another

5813
03:10:42,237 --> 03:10:42,937
land use policy It directs

5814
03:10:42,937 --> 03:10:46,537
the city to efficiently use on

5815
03:10:47,342 --> 03:10:48,420
Remain property for residential

5816
03:10:48,420 --> 03:10:51,642
use at a minimum at densely

5817
03:10:52,112 --> 03:10:52,713
stated and the code.

5818
03:10:52,713 --> 03:10:53,548
We appreciate that that

5819
03:10:53,548 --> 03:10:56,317
the last one I think has really

5820
03:10:56,317 --> 03:10:57,510
good.

5821
03:10:57,510 --> 03:10:59,451
Simply provide homeownership to

5822
03:11:01,522 --> 03:11:02,570
all to young big families and

5823
03:11:02,570 --> 03:11:04,570
small families bring

5824
03:11:04,492 --> 03:11:04,926
homeownership to a wide variety

5825
03:11:04,926 --> 03:11:06,926
of folks.

5826
03:11:09,997 --> 03:11:10,798
>> Next slide please.

5827
03:11:10,798 --> 03:11:11,466
>> Early on we were challenged

5828
03:11:11,466 --> 03:11:13,866
with compatibility and this

5829
03:11:15,170 --> 03:11:17,806
chart was produced by empirical

5830
03:11:17,806 --> 03:11:18,306
data and it clearly shows west

5831
03:11:18,306 --> 03:11:20,306
of 60th Street.

5832
03:11:23,578 --> 03:11:24,450
86% of the existing laws are

5833
03:11:24,450 --> 03:11:26,450
under 10,000ft.

5834
03:11:27,349 --> 03:11:29,749
50% are between 5 and 6000ft.

5835
03:11:31,887 --> 03:11:32,620
There is no question that our

5836
03:11:32,620 --> 03:11:35,620
law sizes our architecture, our

5837
03:11:36,625 --> 03:11:37,259
homes and our community are

5838
03:11:37,259 --> 03:11:37,859
very much compatible with

5839
03:11:37,859 --> 03:11:39,859
the existing community.

5840
03:11:40,729 --> 03:11:41,363
And let me say this for

5841
03:11:41,363 --> 03:11:41,930
the record building infill

5842
03:11:41,930 --> 03:11:42,497
development is one of

5843
03:11:42,497 --> 03:11:44,897
the toughest types of

5844
03:11:45,901 --> 03:11:46,602
development any developer can

5845
03:11:46,602 --> 03:11:49,602
experience because we have to

5846
03:11:51,306 --> 03:11:52,174
listen to the community.

5847
03:11:52,174 --> 03:11:52,807
We have to pay attention to

5848
03:11:52,807 --> 03:11:53,508
the rules and regulations.

5849
03:11:53,508 --> 03:11:56,677
We have to draw up our

5850
03:11:56,677 --> 03:11:57,579
proposals to be compatible.

5851
03:11:57,579 --> 03:12:01,750
That's not an easy feat But we

5852
03:12:01,750 --> 03:12:02,451
started months in advance by

5853
03:12:02,451 --> 03:12:03,151
photo documenting the existing

5854
03:12:03,151 --> 03:12:05,786
neighborhoods so that we could

5855
03:12:05,786 --> 03:12:08,186
produce a project compatible.

5856
03:12:10,525 --> 03:12:11,359
Next slide please.

5857
03:12:11,359 --> 03:12:14,359
>> One of the more prominent

5858
03:12:15,430 --> 03:12:16,431
issues raised of this project

5859
03:12:16,431 --> 03:12:20,310
has been drainage and I will

5860
03:12:20,102 --> 03:12:20,836
not go into the level of

5861
03:12:20,836 --> 03:12:21,136
technical levels But I will say

5862
03:12:21,136 --> 03:12:23,136
this.

5863
03:12:25,240 --> 03:12:25,807
Think of our project as a

5864
03:12:25,807 --> 03:12:28,207
tabletop in your home.

5865
03:12:29,978 --> 03:12:32,978
The existing condition which is

5866
03:12:34,416 --> 03:12:35,830
uncontrolled drainage flowing

5867
03:12:35,830 --> 03:12:35,550
off the north, the south and

5868
03:12:35,550 --> 03:12:37,550
the west slopes.

5869
03:12:39,354 --> 03:12:39,988
When I say uncontrolled there

5870
03:12:39,988 --> 03:12:40,354
is no measures to collect

5871
03:12:40,354 --> 03:12:42,354
drainage.

5872
03:12:44,226 --> 03:12:44,526
Presently that's not what we're

5873
03:12:44,526 --> 03:12:45,294
doing.

5874
03:12:45,294 --> 03:12:48,294
>> Through the review of your

5875
03:12:48,996 --> 03:12:49,731
city staff they have approved

5876
03:12:49,731 --> 03:12:52,731
our drainage plan which reduces

5877
03:12:56,939 --> 03:12:58,720
the flows by upwards of 86% on

5878
03:12:58,720 --> 03:13:01,576
the south, 84% on the north and

5879
03:13:01,576 --> 03:13:02,277
up to 84% to the west.

5880
03:13:02,277 --> 03:13:05,277
How do we do that?

5881
03:13:06,381 --> 03:13:07,820
It's real simple.

5882
03:13:07,820 --> 03:13:10,682
The same tabletop we now have

5883
03:13:11,520 --> 03:13:12,387
streets curb gutter and we have

5884
03:13:12,387 --> 03:13:15,987
bio filter basins on site to

5885
03:13:16,626 --> 03:13:17,391
collect the water.

5886
03:13:17,391 --> 03:13:20,991
The water then is collected and

5887
03:13:21,830 --> 03:13:22,698
disposed into city cisterns.

5888
03:13:22,698 --> 03:13:25,633
We met the requirement that we

5889
03:13:25,633 --> 03:13:26,402
stop at Midland.

5890
03:13:26,402 --> 03:13:26,769
Just a requirement with this

5891
03:13:26,769 --> 03:13:27,269
community.

5892
03:13:27,269 --> 03:13:29,669
No we did not.

5893
03:13:31,720 --> 03:13:31,406
We continued to say Let's go

5894
03:13:31,406 --> 03:13:33,406
further.

5895
03:13:35,440 --> 03:13:35,476
And by that I listened to Kenny

5896
03:13:35,476 --> 03:13:36,211
Keyes.

5897
03:13:36,211 --> 03:13:37,790
I listened in his neighborhood.

5898
03:13:37,790 --> 03:13:40,679
I listened to his neighbors and

5899
03:13:41,500 --> 03:13:41,417
they didn't like what was done

5900
03:13:41,417 --> 03:13:43,417
years ago.

5901
03:13:45,321 --> 03:13:45,988
They had a culvert installed in

5902
03:13:45,988 --> 03:13:48,388
their private backyards not

5903
03:13:50,259 --> 03:13:50,993
maintained and they were

5904
03:13:50,993 --> 03:13:51,592
fearful that this project would

5905
03:13:51,592 --> 03:13:51,961
inundate their project.

5906
03:13:51,961 --> 03:13:53,961
Not true.

5907
03:13:55,698 --> 03:13:56,465
We agreed that we would install

5908
03:13:56,465 --> 03:13:59,465
yet another village so that

5909
03:14:00,736 --> 03:14:01,437
whatever remnant water would

5910
03:14:01,437 --> 03:14:02,710
come off that would be

5911
03:14:02,710 --> 03:14:04,471
intercepted by that ditch.

5912
03:14:05,407 --> 03:14:05,977
We weren't required to do that

5913
03:14:05,977 --> 03:14:06,674
but we are doing that.

5914
03:14:06,674 --> 03:14:09,411
And by the way, we're

5915
03:14:09,411 --> 03:14:09,912
maintaining it.

5916
03:14:09,912 --> 03:14:10,412
Not the city.

5917
03:14:10,412 --> 03:14:12,412
Not the community.

5918
03:14:14,917 --> 03:14:15,284
Our hoa The same holds true for

5919
03:14:15,284 --> 03:14:15,951
the North.

5920
03:14:15,951 --> 03:14:16,318
They have a little different

5921
03:14:16,318 --> 03:14:18,318
situation.

5922
03:14:19,688 --> 03:14:20,389
They actually have an inlet

5923
03:14:20,389 --> 03:14:21,123
system that collects the water

5924
03:14:21,123 --> 03:14:24,327
and disposed it into the system

5925
03:14:24,327 --> 03:14:24,993
which good for the south.

5926
03:14:24,993 --> 03:14:25,661
It's good for the north.

5927
03:14:25,661 --> 03:14:28,564
We're doing the same there.

5928
03:14:28,564 --> 03:14:29,164
My point is in conclusion on

5929
03:14:29,164 --> 03:14:29,598
drainage we're improving

5930
03:14:29,598 --> 03:14:31,598
substantially.

5931
03:14:33,736 --> 03:14:34,270
The drainage conditions and

5932
03:14:34,270 --> 03:14:36,670
we're proud of that.

5933
03:14:38,400 --> 03:14:40,400
Next slide.

5934
03:14:42,544 --> 03:14:43,345
In conclusion, I want to take a

5935
03:14:43,345 --> 03:14:46,649
moment to talk a little bit

5936
03:14:46,649 --> 03:14:47,617
about the company I worked for

5937
03:14:47,617 --> 03:14:47,917
for 27 years and I'm proud of

5938
03:14:47,917 --> 03:14:49,917
that.

5939
03:14:51,987 --> 03:14:52,688
But I'm more proud of John

5940
03:14:52,688 --> 03:14:55,688
Horton who founded our company

5941
03:14:56,726 --> 03:14:57,590
with a few dollars in his

5942
03:14:57,590 --> 03:14:57,893
pocket.

5943
03:14:57,893 --> 03:15:01,297
He was raised in a home with no

5944
03:15:01,297 --> 03:15:01,630
utilities, no water, no sewage

5945
03:15:01,630 --> 03:15:02,465
.

5946
03:15:02,465 --> 03:15:03,432
They were so poor that they

5947
03:15:03,432 --> 03:15:07,360
had to live on top of a

5948
03:15:07,360 --> 03:15:07,470
jailhouse county jailhouse with

5949
03:15:07,470 --> 03:15:08,170
his siblings.

5950
03:15:08,170 --> 03:15:11,170
His mother made $0.50 a meal.

5951
03:15:11,707 --> 03:15:15,847
Do not tell me that anyone with

5952
03:15:15,847 --> 03:15:16,512
a golden spoon at D.R. Horton.

5953
03:15:16,512 --> 03:15:17,179
We work with some of

5954
03:15:17,179 --> 03:15:17,880
the greatest team members of

5955
03:15:17,880 --> 03:15:21,117
our company and he grew that

5956
03:15:21,117 --> 03:15:21,651
company today under one thing

5957
03:15:21,651 --> 03:15:24,510
and one thing only.

5958
03:15:26,122 --> 03:15:26,789
He remodeled a small house in

5959
03:15:26,789 --> 03:15:27,156
Arkansas and he felt so much

5960
03:15:27,156 --> 03:15:29,156
pleasure.

5961
03:15:30,893 --> 03:15:31,661
He would bring home ownership

5962
03:15:31,661 --> 03:15:34,661
experiences to many that single

5963
03:15:36,298 --> 03:15:37,330
man with not a couple of

5964
03:15:37,330 --> 03:15:40,202
hundred bucks in his pocket and

5965
03:15:40,202 --> 03:15:40,603
a cell phone the size of our

5966
03:15:40,603 --> 03:15:41,370
shoe grew.

5967
03:15:41,370 --> 03:15:43,172
A company to be the largest

5968
03:15:43,172 --> 03:15:45,172
homebuilding company in

5969
03:15:48,544 --> 03:15:49,578
the United States.

5970
03:15:49,578 --> 03:15:53,820
>> I wish that man well And his

5971
03:15:53,820 --> 03:15:53,816
dream today lives with all of

5972
03:15:53,816 --> 03:15:57,353
our employees lives with me And

5973
03:15:57,353 --> 03:15:58,540
I'm sharing that wonderful

5974
03:15:58,540 --> 03:15:58,821
experience with you because I

5975
03:15:58,821 --> 03:16:01,821
know this city to appreciate

5976
03:16:02,892 --> 03:16:03,726
homeownership.

5977
03:16:03,726 --> 03:16:07,630
It's a thrill And I'm not going

5978
03:16:07,630 --> 03:16:07,530
to take anything away from

5979
03:16:07,530 --> 03:16:08,231
the opposition.

5980
03:16:08,231 --> 03:16:10,631
>> And in closing, everyone

5981
03:16:12,501 --> 03:16:13,102
deserves homeownership in

5982
03:16:13,102 --> 03:16:13,670
the city of San Diego.

5983
03:16:13,670 --> 03:16:14,270
Thank you very much.

5984
03:16:14,270 --> 03:16:14,637
I will be available for

5985
03:16:14,637 --> 03:16:15,400
questions.

5986
03:16:15,400 --> 03:16:16,838
All right.

5987
03:16:16,838 --> 03:16:17,607
Thank you.

5988
03:16:17,607 --> 03:16:18,340
So with that we've now heard

5989
03:16:18,340 --> 03:16:21,340
from the appellant, we've heard

5990
03:16:21,711 --> 03:16:22,445
from the applicant and we will

5991
03:16:22,445 --> 03:16:25,445
proceed with public comment and

5992
03:16:26,549 --> 03:16:27,249
I will extend a courtesy as

5993
03:16:27,249 --> 03:16:29,649
council PRESIDENT And invite

5994
03:16:29,819 --> 03:16:31,819
supervisor Monica Montgomery

5995
03:16:37,227 --> 03:16:39,627
Step to start off.

5996
03:16:42,332 --> 03:16:42,665
>> I believe you requested five

5997
03:16:42,665 --> 03:16:42,932
minutes.

5998
03:16:42,932 --> 03:16:43,666
Yes.

5999
03:16:43,666 --> 03:16:47,266
And someone left their phone up

6000
03:16:47,370 --> 03:16:48,237
here So if I okay.

6001
03:16:48,237 --> 03:16:49,500
>> Thank you so much Council

6002
03:16:49,500 --> 03:16:52,500
PRESIDENT And thank you for

6003
03:16:52,141 --> 03:16:52,976
allowing me to speak.

6004
03:16:52,976 --> 03:16:53,677
I am here to speak today in

6005
03:16:53,677 --> 03:16:56,677
strong support of the project

6006
03:16:56,713 --> 03:16:57,413
that we are discussing here

6007
03:16:57,413 --> 03:17:01,130
today and I'm asking the City

6008
03:17:01,651 --> 03:17:02,385
Council to deny the appeal.

6009
03:17:02,385 --> 03:17:05,540
I support this project because

6010
03:17:05,540 --> 03:17:05,788
it will enhance the community

6011
03:17:05,788 --> 03:17:06,422
of District four and provide an

6012
03:17:06,422 --> 03:17:08,822
opportunity for first time

6013
03:17:09,759 --> 03:17:10,460
homebuyers throughout San Diego

6014
03:17:10,460 --> 03:17:14,300
which is very rare these days.

6015
03:17:14,300 --> 03:17:14,697
The project contains 123 single

6016
03:17:14,697 --> 03:17:17,634
family homes and that means

6017
03:17:17,634 --> 03:17:18,434
there will be 123 families that

6018
03:17:18,434 --> 03:17:18,968
will be able to provide a home

6019
03:17:18,968 --> 03:17:20,968
for their children.

6020
03:17:22,672 --> 03:17:23,373
A family legacy and family

6021
03:17:23,373 --> 03:17:25,773
stability like my grandmother

6022
03:17:27,277 --> 03:17:27,977
did for her children albeit in

6023
03:17:27,977 --> 03:17:28,778
the latter years of her life.

6024
03:17:28,778 --> 03:17:29,245
And like my mom and dad did for

6025
03:17:29,245 --> 03:17:31,245
their children.

6026
03:17:32,749 --> 03:17:33,283
My motivation in supporting

6027
03:17:33,283 --> 03:17:33,917
this project lies in

6028
03:17:33,917 --> 03:17:34,551
the principle that I want

6029
03:17:34,551 --> 03:17:37,551
others to have access to

6030
03:17:37,587 --> 03:17:38,455
the same opportunity that I had

6031
03:17:38,455 --> 03:17:42,425
in life a chance to grow up in

6032
03:17:42,425 --> 03:17:43,193
a home that I knew would always

6033
03:17:43,193 --> 03:17:43,793
be there for me to dwell in.

6034
03:17:43,793 --> 03:17:46,193
The project also abuts

6035
03:17:47,263 --> 03:17:47,997
the Emerald Hills Neighborhood

6036
03:17:47,997 --> 03:17:48,665
park and includes four pocket

6037
03:17:48,665 --> 03:17:51,401
parks on the property along

6038
03:17:51,401 --> 03:17:52,102
with the widening of 50th

6039
03:17:52,102 --> 03:17:52,769
Street which I've driven down

6040
03:17:52,769 --> 03:17:56,369
almost my entire life And it

6041
03:17:56,372 --> 03:17:57,107
has never changed.

6042
03:17:57,107 --> 03:17:59,107
500 trees beautiful landscaping

6043
03:18:00,744 --> 03:18:01,411
13 affordable rate homes on

6044
03:18:01,411 --> 03:18:02,112
site water quality treatment

6045
03:18:02,112 --> 03:18:04,112
facilities, public pedestrian

6046
03:18:06,490 --> 03:18:06,715
circulation and trails and a

6047
03:18:06,715 --> 03:18:07,150
secondary vehicle emergency

6048
03:18:07,150 --> 03:18:09,150
access drive.

6049
03:18:10,353 --> 03:18:10,954
Many of these amenities were

6050
03:18:10,954 --> 03:18:11,688
added at the request of

6051
03:18:11,688 --> 03:18:14,688
community members and the ideas

6052
03:18:16,460 --> 03:18:17,127
came from community to discuss

6053
03:18:17,127 --> 03:18:17,861
and that the District Court

6054
03:18:17,861 --> 03:18:20,564
office insisted on and the D.R.

6055
03:18:20,564 --> 03:18:21,397
Horton engaged in.

6056
03:18:21,397 --> 03:18:22,131
When I ran for the city council

6057
03:18:22,131 --> 03:18:25,535
office I knocked on a lot of

6058
03:18:25,535 --> 03:18:26,203
doors in my community and

6059
03:18:26,203 --> 03:18:26,803
the feedback was consistent.

6060
03:18:26,803 --> 03:18:29,203
My neighbors wanted more

6061
03:18:30,474 --> 03:18:31,341
economic opportunities.

6062
03:18:31,341 --> 03:18:31,908
We know that a big part of

6063
03:18:31,908 --> 03:18:33,908
economic and economic

6064
03:18:35,445 --> 03:18:36,780
opportunities are homes

6065
03:18:36,780 --> 03:18:36,379
especially these types of

6066
03:18:36,379 --> 03:18:38,379
homes.

6067
03:18:40,160 --> 03:18:40,684
They provide more customers for

6068
03:18:40,684 --> 03:18:41,351
neighborhood businesses and

6069
03:18:41,351 --> 03:18:41,651
increase their property tax

6070
03:18:41,651 --> 03:18:43,651
base.

6071
03:18:45,188 --> 03:18:45,889
I also distinctly remember

6072
03:18:45,889 --> 03:18:46,622
hosting a forum and discussing

6073
03:18:46,622 --> 03:18:49,622
Measure a an affordable housing

6074
03:18:50,427 --> 03:18:50,961
bond measure that was on

6075
03:18:50,961 --> 03:18:51,695
the ballot in 2020.

6076
03:18:51,695 --> 03:18:54,950
One community member challenged

6077
03:18:54,998 --> 03:18:55,699
me at that form and asked me

6078
03:18:55,699 --> 03:18:56,266
why does the focus always stay

6079
03:18:56,266 --> 03:18:58,666
on low income housing?

6080
03:19:00,700 --> 03:19:00,836
What opportunity These are

6081
03:19:00,836 --> 03:19:01,505
there for those of us who want

6082
03:19:01,505 --> 03:19:04,608
to own a home one day.

6083
03:19:04,608 --> 03:19:05,474
Those words stuck with me.

6084
03:19:05,474 --> 03:19:06,143
And during my time as a city

6085
03:19:06,143 --> 03:19:08,543
council member the District

6086
03:19:09,579 --> 03:19:10,280
four office prioritized

6087
03:19:10,280 --> 03:19:10,881
homeownership by way of first

6088
03:19:10,881 --> 03:19:12,881
time homebuyer programs,

6089
03:19:14,351 --> 03:19:15,510
downpayment assistance and

6090
03:19:15,510 --> 03:19:15,719
credit repair programs through

6091
03:19:15,719 --> 03:19:16,253
the Reinvestment Task Force

6092
03:19:16,253 --> 03:19:18,253
which I co-chaired.

6093
03:19:19,289 --> 03:19:20,570
We became one of only eight

6094
03:19:20,570 --> 03:19:23,657
cities in the entire nation to

6095
03:19:23,927 --> 03:19:24,528
receive a Wells Fargo Worth

6096
03:19:24,528 --> 03:19:25,262
grant to supplement our

6097
03:19:25,262 --> 03:19:27,262
downpayment assistance programs

6098
03:19:28,732 --> 03:19:29,132
at the San Diego Housing

6099
03:19:29,132 --> 03:19:29,867
Commission.

6100
03:19:29,867 --> 03:19:30,267
This project puts that advocacy

6101
03:19:30,267 --> 03:19:32,267
into action.

6102
03:19:34,138 --> 03:19:34,738
It makes what we do real and

6103
03:19:34,738 --> 03:19:35,439
tangible, not abstract.

6104
03:19:35,439 --> 03:19:38,342
That's why I strongly support

6105
03:19:38,342 --> 03:19:39,209
the project.

6106
03:19:39,209 --> 03:19:41,979
Footnote seven is being used as

6107
03:19:41,979 --> 03:19:42,678
a pretext for people who one

6108
03:19:42,678 --> 03:19:43,347
wants to demean the current

6109
03:19:43,347 --> 03:19:46,347
leadership and to don't want

6110
03:19:46,850 --> 03:19:47,150
this project in their backyard

6111
03:19:47,150 --> 03:19:47,885
.

6112
03:19:47,885 --> 03:19:48,552
I understand that everyone has

6113
03:19:48,552 --> 03:19:51,822
a right to feel the way that

6114
03:19:51,822 --> 03:19:52,122
they feel and I acknowledge

6115
03:19:52,122 --> 03:19:52,856
that.

6116
03:19:52,856 --> 03:19:53,524
What has been disappointing is

6117
03:19:53,524 --> 03:19:55,924
the lack of professionalism,

6118
03:19:57,270 --> 03:19:57,695
harassment and lack of ability

6119
03:19:57,695 --> 03:20:01,295
to hold a decent fact based

6120
03:20:01,298 --> 03:20:01,999
conversation about this project

6121
03:20:01,999 --> 03:20:02,365
and other issues in our

6122
03:20:02,365 --> 03:20:03,330
community.

6123
03:20:03,330 --> 03:20:03,734
That's why I thought it was

6124
03:20:03,734 --> 03:20:04,330
important for me to come here

6125
03:20:04,330 --> 03:20:06,330
today.

6126
03:20:06,904 --> 03:20:07,604
I want to address my role

6127
03:20:07,604 --> 03:20:10,400
community sentiment and images

6128
03:20:11,342 --> 03:20:14,342
like this that are deeply

6129
03:20:16,546 --> 03:20:17,214
rooted in racist history and

6130
03:20:17,214 --> 03:20:17,915
use as a humiliation tactic

6131
03:20:17,915 --> 03:20:20,915
that have been promoted by

6132
03:20:21,218 --> 03:20:21,919
the opposition.

6133
03:20:21,919 --> 03:20:22,553
I thank the Council for

6134
03:20:22,553 --> 03:20:24,553
repealing Footnote seven.

6135
03:20:25,790 --> 03:20:26,490
I sat in that seat and voted

6136
03:20:26,490 --> 03:20:27,191
for the land use code updates

6137
03:20:27,191 --> 03:20:29,591
that included Footnote seven.

6138
03:20:29,593 --> 03:20:30,227
Back in 2019 At that time

6139
03:20:30,227 --> 03:20:32,227
community feedback though

6140
03:20:34,365 --> 03:20:34,999
limited supported the function

6141
03:20:34,999 --> 03:20:37,999
of the footnote to reduce

6142
03:20:38,836 --> 03:20:39,537
the minimum large lot size

6143
03:20:39,537 --> 03:20:40,204
because they knew it would

6144
03:20:40,204 --> 03:20:42,204
drive economic opportunity.

6145
03:20:44,174 --> 03:20:44,875
They also understood the impact

6146
03:20:44,875 --> 03:20:45,576
of large lot size minimums

6147
03:20:45,576 --> 03:20:47,976
keeping hardworking people of

6148
03:20:50,800 --> 03:20:50,848
color out of neighborhood aid.

6149
03:20:50,848 --> 03:20:51,549
>> However, I do agree that

6150
03:20:51,549 --> 03:20:54,485
minimum large sizes should be

6151
03:20:54,485 --> 03:20:55,185
reduced in the additional seven

6152
03:20:55,185 --> 03:20:58,185
San Diego neighborhoods out of

6153
03:20:59,423 --> 03:21:00,191
over 100 that it still exists

6154
03:21:00,191 --> 03:21:00,891
in so that there is no

6155
03:21:00,891 --> 03:21:03,891
neighborhood in San Diego that

6156
03:21:04,194 --> 03:21:04,562
have minimum lot sizes of

6157
03:21:04,562 --> 03:21:05,262
20,000ft.

6158
03:21:05,262 --> 03:21:08,262
Because history tells us that

6159
03:21:09,233 --> 03:21:09,934
lot sizes of that magnitude are

6160
03:21:09,934 --> 03:21:10,633
wrapped up in inherent racist

6161
03:21:10,633 --> 03:21:13,633
land use policies that have

6162
03:21:14,672 --> 03:21:15,373
been used over our country's

6163
03:21:15,373 --> 03:21:18,876
and our city's history to keep

6164
03:21:18,876 --> 03:21:19,310
people of color out of certain

6165
03:21:19,310 --> 03:21:20,440
neighborhoods.

6166
03:21:20,440 --> 03:21:23,547
So the question becomes while I

6167
03:21:23,547 --> 03:21:24,248
support a policy in any

6168
03:21:24,248 --> 03:21:24,882
neighborhood especially my own

6169
03:21:24,882 --> 03:21:27,882
that has been used against

6170
03:21:28,319 --> 03:21:29,860
black people like me.

6171
03:21:29,860 --> 03:21:29,487
And the answer is I wouldn't

6172
03:21:29,487 --> 03:21:29,854
and I won't.

6173
03:21:29,854 --> 03:21:30,254
Not now.

6174
03:21:30,254 --> 03:21:32,254
Not ever.

6175
03:21:33,691 --> 03:21:34,358
And why would anyone produce

6176
03:21:34,358 --> 03:21:35,590
and promote demeaning images

6177
03:21:35,590 --> 03:21:38,590
across the Internet Because of

6178
03:21:38,896 --> 03:21:39,597
racist undertones The same

6179
03:21:39,597 --> 03:21:40,264
process undertones that exist

6180
03:21:40,264 --> 03:21:43,000
in large lot size minimums.

6181
03:21:43,000 --> 03:21:43,634
So if you know your history it

6182
03:21:43,634 --> 03:21:46,634
makes sense If you don't.

6183
03:21:46,771 --> 03:21:47,538
I hope you learn it today to

6184
03:21:47,538 --> 03:21:47,939
close this project is for

6185
03:21:47,939 --> 03:21:48,439
the future.

6186
03:21:48,439 --> 03:21:49,207
The future is now.

6187
03:21:49,207 --> 03:21:52,310
We are charged to provide a

6188
03:21:52,310 --> 03:21:53,770
vision for the city.

6189
03:21:53,770 --> 03:21:53,778
I envision a city where every

6190
03:21:53,778 --> 03:21:57,378
person have a roof over their

6191
03:21:57,381 --> 03:21:57,749
head and provide for their

6192
03:21:57,749 --> 03:21:58,449
families.

6193
03:21:58,449 --> 03:21:58,783
This project is a part of that

6194
03:21:58,783 --> 03:21:59,450
vision.

6195
03:21:59,450 --> 03:22:03,500
Please vote no on the pill.

6196
03:22:03,920 --> 03:22:06,920
Thank you for your time.

6197
03:22:09,494 --> 03:22:09,961
>> All right.

6198
03:22:09,961 --> 03:22:10,560
Thank you.

6199
03:22:10,560 --> 03:22:12,560
Council Supervisor Molly

6200
03:22:13,865 --> 03:22:14,465
Montgomery step for taking time

6201
03:22:14,465 --> 03:22:15,198
out of your busy day.

6202
03:22:15,198 --> 03:22:18,798
So with that we will now

6203
03:22:18,903 --> 03:22:19,437
proceed with the rest of

6204
03:22:19,437 --> 03:22:20,271
the public comment.

6205
03:22:20,271 --> 03:22:23,871
And our city clerk will explain

6206
03:22:27,512 --> 03:22:28,212
the steps going forward and you

6207
03:22:28,212 --> 03:22:28,546
know, you've been pretty well

6208
03:22:28,546 --> 03:22:29,113
behaved.

6209
03:22:29,113 --> 03:22:29,714
We're going to conduct

6210
03:22:29,714 --> 03:22:31,714
ourselves with civility.

6211
03:22:32,250 --> 03:22:32,550
You're going to hear things you

6212
03:22:32,550 --> 03:22:33,284
like.

6213
03:22:33,284 --> 03:22:33,917
You're going to hear things you

6214
03:22:33,917 --> 03:22:36,917
don't like, maybe even a.

6215
03:22:36,920 --> 03:22:37,722
But I think everybody's had a

6216
03:22:37,722 --> 03:22:38,489
we want to hear from everybody

6217
03:22:38,489 --> 03:22:41,993
whatever your point of view is

6218
03:22:41,993 --> 03:22:42,660
and I think we can conduct

6219
03:22:42,660 --> 03:22:43,261
the rest of the hearing with

6220
03:22:43,261 --> 03:22:45,261
civility going forward.

6221
03:22:49,734 --> 03:22:53,705
I think that'll be I mean you

6222
03:22:53,705 --> 03:22:54,205
throw that out there.

6223
03:22:54,205 --> 03:22:54,939
>> Okay.

6224
03:22:54,939 --> 03:22:57,939
Do you want to challenge

6225
03:22:58,343 --> 03:22:58,977
the disruption of that I

6226
03:22:58,977 --> 03:22:59,577
outlined at the beginning?

6227
03:22:59,577 --> 03:23:01,977
Let's let people speak.

6228
03:23:02,714 --> 03:23:03,140
You MAY agree you MAY disagree

6229
03:23:03,140 --> 03:23:03,781
.

6230
03:23:03,781 --> 03:23:04,482
It is disruption of the meeting

6231
03:23:04,482 --> 03:23:07,482
that I am particularly focused

6232
03:23:07,953 --> 03:23:08,719
on.

6233
03:23:08,719 --> 03:23:09,420
That's been my credo for

6234
03:23:09,420 --> 03:23:10,188
the year and a half that I've

6235
03:23:10,188 --> 03:23:12,590
been honored to be council

6236
03:23:12,590 --> 03:23:13,324
PRESIDENT.

6237
03:23:13,324 --> 03:23:14,225
Let's get on with the meeting.

6238
03:23:14,225 --> 03:23:14,626
We have a lot of talk in front

6239
03:23:14,626 --> 03:23:16,227
of us.

6240
03:23:16,227 --> 03:23:19,227
We have what six group

6241
03:23:20,231 --> 03:23:20,965
presentations So that's a good

6242
03:23:20,965 --> 03:23:21,633
46 minutes right there plus any

6243
03:23:21,633 --> 03:23:24,633
individual speakers We got a

6244
03:23:24,702 --> 03:23:25,403
long way to go.

6245
03:23:25,403 --> 03:23:28,403
All right, City clerk, please

6246
03:23:29,340 --> 03:23:29,741
explain what happens next.

6247
03:23:29,741 --> 03:23:30,308
Thank you.

6248
03:23:30,308 --> 03:23:31,420
Council PRESIDENT For

6249
03:23:31,420 --> 03:23:31,776
the record I would also like to

03:23:31,776 --> 03:23:34,712
note that this item received 28

6251
03:23:34,712 --> 03:23:35,380
comments in favor and four

6252
03:23:35,380 --> 03:23:36,470
comments in opposition b r e

6253
03:23:36,470 --> 03:23:38,683
comment form which have been

6254
03:23:38,683 --> 03:23:39,417

Thank you.

6325
03:25:43,875 --> 03:25:44,743
My name is Hazel Higgins.

6326
03:25:44,743 --> 03:25:48,313
It is ironic that some 47 years

6327
03:25:48,313 --> 03:25:49,114
ago I stood in this council

6328
03:25:49,114 --> 03:25:51,514
chambers to request that

6329
03:25:53,452 --> 03:25:54,118
the designated adopted open

6330
03:25:54,118 --> 03:25:56,518
space abutting this property

6331
03:25:59,156 --> 03:26:02,928
not be allowed to take away our

6332
03:26:02,928 --> 03:26:03,629
open space car out of use and a

6333
03:26:03,629 --> 03:26:06,629
mobile home park was predicate

6334
03:26:07,666 --> 03:26:08,466
was there that was designated

6335
03:26:08,466 --> 03:26:09,134
for the designated adopted open

6336
03:26:09,134 --> 03:26:11,534
space abutting this property

6337
03:26:13,638 --> 03:26:14,339
and the 70s and 60s the Encanto

6338
03:26:14,339 --> 03:26:17,339
task force petitioned the city

6339
03:26:18,544 --> 03:26:20,944
to rezone certain Encanto

6340
03:26:22,147 --> 03:26:22,614
properties r 110 r 115 r 120 We

6341
03:26:22,614 --> 03:26:24,614
asked for that.

6342
03:26:26,685 --> 03:26:27,453
>> That's where we lived.

6343
03:26:27,453 --> 03:26:28,420
>> We wanted our lawyer.

6344
03:26:28,420 --> 03:26:31,523
We wanted our Point Loma and

6345
03:26:31,523 --> 03:26:32,391
our community.

6346
03:26:32,391 --> 03:26:35,991
>> We asked for their I'm black

6347
03:26:36,361 --> 03:26:40,561
is black can be I asked for

6348
03:26:40,899 --> 03:26:41,767
that with the Encanto test

6349
03:26:41,767 --> 03:26:45,367
force I'm 88 years old not dead

6350
03:26:46,500 --> 03:26:49,605
yet Most of my friends are

6351
03:26:51,377 --> 03:26:52,440
cannot speak against what

6352
03:26:52,440 --> 03:26:52,511
the previous speaker said We

6353
03:26:52,511 --> 03:26:54,511
asked for that.

6354
03:26:55,681 --> 03:26:59,281
We asked for 120 an r 120 lots

6355
03:26:59,385 --> 03:26:59,985
because we wanted big lots as

6356
03:26:59,985 --> 03:27:00,653
open space CHAIRMAN When

6357
03:27:00,653 --> 03:27:03,653
Proposition c was passed at

6358
03:27:04,823 --> 03:27:05,528
Witness for p r these

6359
03:27:05,528 --> 03:27:07,928
immediately submitted for our

6360
03:27:09,561 --> 03:27:10,296
designated adopted open space

6361
03:27:10,296 --> 03:27:13,896
like these fine people who want

6362
03:27:14,667 --> 03:27:15,266
to help us I wish they would

6363
03:27:15,266 --> 03:27:17,666
quit helping us in

6364
03:27:19,171 --> 03:27:21,171
the Southeast community.

6365
03:27:23,475 --> 03:27:24,176
My credibility is substantiated

6366
03:27:24,176 --> 03:27:24,877
by MR. Jan Kosky and

6367
03:27:24,877 --> 03:27:27,277
the Association of Government.

6368
03:27:29,247 --> 03:27:30,160
He writes me a letter thanking

6369
03:27:30,160 --> 03:27:30,382
me for my input as open space

6370
03:27:30,382 --> 03:27:32,382
CHAIRMAN.

6371
03:27:34,860 --> 03:27:34,787
He's tells me he could not have

6372
03:27:34,787 --> 03:27:37,187
completed his projects without

6373
03:27:38,824 --> 03:27:39,592
my input.

6374
03:27:39,592 --> 03:27:42,592
>> Juan talk about Card not

6375
03:27:43,295 --> 03:27:43,662
abuse which abuts this

6376
03:27:43,662 --> 03:27:44,363
property.

6377
03:27:44,363 --> 03:27:47,963
The site was an Indian burial

6378
03:27:48,340 --> 03:27:48,768
burial ground.

6379
03:27:48,768 --> 03:27:51,768
It was designated adopted open

6380
03:27:53,539 --> 03:27:55,939
space through property agency

6381
03:27:58,911 --> 03:27:59,678
It boasted 550 endangered Cox

6382
03:27:59,678 --> 03:28:02,615
by our cactus that were birds

6383
03:28:02,615 --> 03:28:06,815
of many species and when it was

6384
03:28:07,453 --> 03:28:10,453
presented for open space two

6385
03:28:10,923 --> 03:28:11,657
for purchase it appraised $2

6386
03:28:11,657 --> 03:28:14,570
million 5.39 acres in southeast

6387
03:28:15,695 --> 03:28:17,695
San Diego.

6388
03:28:20,990 --> 03:28:20,800
My property was like 12 to

6389
03:28:20,800 --> 03:28:21,667
$20,000 for an acre but this

6390
03:28:21,667 --> 03:28:24,704
property so that we could not

6391
03:28:24,704 --> 03:28:27,704
price ourselves out of this

6392
03:28:28,574 --> 03:28:29,342
open space appraised at $1

6393
03:28:29,342 --> 03:28:32,878
million So the city did not buy

6394
03:28:32,878 --> 03:28:34,878
that land.

6395
03:28:36,816 --> 03:28:37,483
That land was lost worth 5.39

6396
03:28:37,483 --> 03:28:38,151
acres of designated adopted

6397
03:28:38,151 --> 03:28:41,151
open space and the community

6398
03:28:42,455 --> 03:28:43,121
plan if there is an

6399
03:28:43,121 --> 03:28:43,689
environmental impact report.

6400
03:28:43,689 --> 03:28:46,890

03:30:18,840 --> 03:30:21,840
because of pushback time for

6443
03:30:21,888 --> 03:30:22,856
this crazy developer yelling

6444
03:30:22,856 --> 03:30:26,893
please you guys I want you guys

6445
03:30:26,893 --> 03:30:27,227
to weigh in with us and connect

6446
03:30:27,227 --> 03:30:27,927
with us.

6447
03:30:27,927 --> 03:30:30,763
This is an election year Today

6448
03:30:30,763 --> 03:30:31,464
I stand before you not just as

6449
03:30:31,464 --> 03:30:32,132
a resident, not just as a

6450
03:30:32,132 --> 03:30:35,132
veteran, not just as a

6451
03:30:35,268 --> 03:30:35,936
community advocate.

6452
03:30:35,936 --> 03:30:36,670
I stand here as someone

6453
03:30:36,670 --> 03:30:39,700
fighting for future generations

6454
03:30:40,674 --> 03:30:40,974
because this land is more than

6455
03:30:40,974 --> 03:30:41,675
dirt.

6456
03:30:41,675 --> 03:30:42,642
It is more than real estate.

6457
03:30:42,642 --> 03:30:47,442
It is a diamond in the heart of

6458
03:30:47,814 --> 03:30:48,281
San Diego.

6459
03:30:48,281 --> 03:30:49,149
Shame yourself.

6460
03:30:49,149 --> 03:30:51,351
No it is Monica who is

6461
03:30:51,351 --> 03:30:51,985
possessed conspiring with

6462
03:30:51,985 --> 03:30:52,585
the horn ball questions Be

6463
03:30:52,585 --> 03:30:54,985
transparent to push this

6464
03:30:56,389 --> 03:30:57,257
through.

6465
03:30:57,257 --> 03:30:58,240
It was asking us to put Node

6466
03:30:58,240 --> 03:31:02,224
seven No no to change it only

6467
03:31:03,129 --> 03:31:03,497
to get this project It was

6468
03:31:03,497 --> 03:31:04,970
changed.

6469
03:31:04,970 --> 03:31:04,464
We had no say in these

6470
03:31:04,464 --> 03:31:05,131
questions.

6471
03:31:05,131 --> 03:31:07,234
Okay hold on Wait Before you

6472
03:31:07,234 --> 03:31:07,901

6474
03:31:08,535 --> 03:31:10,804
that should concern every

6475
03:31:10,804 --> 03:31:11,505
resident of San Diego.

6476
03:31:11,505 --> 03:31:14,505

I was gonna grab one.

03:31:19,446 --> 03:31:21,846
This was last week.

6481
03:31:25,185 --> 03:31:26,530
We got this ridiculous that we

6482
03:31:26,530 --> 03:31:26,620

03:31:41,168 --> 03:31:41,902
fair questions.

6493
03:31:41,902 --> 03:31:42,636
>> Those are reasonable

6494
03:31:42,636 --> 03:31:43,303

Controversy.

6504
03:31:56,783 --> 03:32:00,383
You don't need to be reelected.

6505
03:32:01,880 --> 03:32:01,655
We got somebody else demanding

6506
03:32:01,655 --> 03:32:02,356
that cares about us.

6507
03:32:02,356 --> 03:32:02,922

for dismissing us.

6516
03:32:15,350 --> 03:32:15,702
This is ridiculous.

6517
03:32:15,702 --> 03:32:16,470
We should not be fighting.

6518
03:32:16,470 --> 03:32:19,470
You got money, money, money,

6519
03:32:20,708 --> 03:32:21,408

the years I've lived up to 50

6574

6593

We don't have developers coming

in our city telling us what

6595
03:34:44,850 --> 03:34:44,718
they're going to do.

PRESIDENT My name is Victoria

6616
03:35:16,500 --> 03:35:19,319
Lorusso and I'm with the cpc.

6617
03:35:19,319 --> 03:35:20,210
We are commonly today because

6618
03:35:20,210 --> 03:35:20,688
this appeal reveals something

6619
03:35:20,688 --> 03:35:21,220
much larger than the project

6620
03:35:21,220 --> 03:35:23,220
itself.

6621
03:35:24,592 --> 03:35:25,226
It's about confidence in San

6622
03:35:25,226 --> 03:35:25,893
Diego's planning process.

6623
03:35:25,893 --> 03:35:28,893
>> By the time Choice Valley

6624
03:35:30,197 --> 03:35:30,898
cpg began asking fundamental

6625
03:35:30,898 --> 03:35:33,298
questions about Footnote seven

6626
03:35:35,302 --> 03:35:36,104
why it existed, what planning

6627
03:35:36,104 --> 03:35:36,637
purpose it served and why it

6628
03:35:36,637 --> 03:35:37,380
applied to only two

6629
03:35:37,380 --> 03:35:39,380
communities.

6630
03:35:40,875 --> 03:35:41,576
It appears the process for this

6631
03:35:41,576 --> 03:35:42,310
project had already moved too

6632
03:35:42,310 --> 03:35:45,910
far forward to have any impact.

6633
03:35:46,680 --> 03:35:47,381
That's a problem.

6634
03:35:47,381 --> 03:35:48,810
>> Those questions should have

6635
03:35:48,810 --> 03:35:48,682
been answered long before they

6636
03:35:48,682 --> 03:35:51,820
reached this Council and

6637
03:35:51,652 --> 03:35:52,387
demonstrates exactly why CPGs

6638
03:35:52,387 --> 03:35:53,210
remain an essential part of San

6639
03:35:53,210 --> 03:35:55,210
Diego's planning process.

6640
03:35:57,425 --> 03:35:58,590
Footnote seven has become much

6641
03:35:58,590 --> 03:35:58,426
more than a municipal code

6642
03:35:58,426 --> 03:36:00,426
footnote.

6643
03:36:02,463 --> 03:36:03,163
It's become a symbol of

6644
03:36:03,163 --> 03:36:03,831
something many communities are

6645
03:36:03,831 --> 03:36:06,231
increasingly mindful of that

6646
03:36:08,402 --> 03:36:09,700
significant planning policies

6647
03:36:09,700 --> 03:36:09,771
are being developed without

6648
03:36:09,771 --> 03:36:10,404
transparency, without context

6649
03:36:10,404 --> 03:36:13,404
and without making use of

6650
03:36:15,109 --> 03:36:15,776
the industrial knowledge that

6651
03:36:15,776 --> 03:36:16,177
exists within the cities and

6652
03:36:16,177 --> 03:36:16,877
communities.

6653
03:36:16,877 --> 03:36:20,477
If Trails Valley cpg had been

6654
03:36:21,115 --> 03:36:21,815
invited into the process at

6655
03:36:21,815 --> 03:36:22,483
the beginning Yes singled out

6656
03:36:22,483 --> 03:36:24,883
during the Land Development

6657
03:36:26,955 --> 03:36:27,388
Code update that specifically

6658
03:36:27,388 --> 03:36:28,880
affected them.

6659
03:36:28,880 --> 03:36:28,889
Had they been given their seat

6660
03:36:28,889 --> 03:36:32,270
at the table we might not be

6661
03:36:32,270 --> 03:36:32,760
here today.

6662
03:36:32,760 --> 03:36:33,495
Instead the communities to

6663
03:36:33,495 --> 03:36:35,895
the communities This is

6664
03:36:37,565 --> 03:36:38,166
the appearance of a backroom

6665
03:36:38,166 --> 03:36:38,700
deal rather than an open

6666
03:36:38,700 --> 03:36:40,700
transparent process.

6667
03:36:43,710 --> 03:36:43,772
If the policy reflected in

6668
03:36:43,772 --> 03:36:44,372
the footnote seven had instead

6669
03:36:44,372 --> 03:36:45,600
been considered through

6670
03:36:45,600 --> 03:36:47,406
the normal Community plan

6671
03:36:49,344 --> 03:36:50,440
amendment and rezoning process,

6672
03:36:50,440 --> 03:36:50,712
it would have involved a more

6673
03:36:50,712 --> 03:36:52,712
deliberate public discussion

6674
03:36:55,749 --> 03:36:56,217
greater transparency and direct

6675
03:36:56,217 --> 03:36:56,884
council review.

6676
03:36:56,884 --> 03:36:57,185
Yes, this process takes more

6677
03:36:57,185 --> 03:36:59,185
time.

6678
03:37:01,289 --> 03:37:01,589
Yes it cost the applicant more

6679
03:37:01,589 --> 03:37:02,257
money.

6680
03:37:02,257 --> 03:37:02,691
>> But those processes exist

6681
03:37:02,691 --> 03:37:04,691
for a reason.

6682
03:37:07,295 --> 03:37:08,290
They allow communities,

6683
03:37:08,290 --> 03:37:08,663
applicants and the city to work

6684
03:37:08,663 --> 03:37:09,397
through difficult planning

6685
03:37:09,397 --> 03:37:11,797
questions before anyone becomes

6686
03:37:12,868 --> 03:37:13,635
locked into opposing positions.

6687
03:37:13,635 --> 03:37:16,635
Instead we're here today trying

6688
03:37:18,340 --> 03:37:18,806
to answer those questions that

6689
03:37:18,806 --> 03:37:19,407
benefits no one.

6690
03:37:19,407 --> 03:37:20,108
This appeal demonstrates

6691
03:37:20,108 --> 03:37:23,108
the values of CPGs throughout

6692
03:37:24,446 --> 03:37:25,470
this process, Toilet Valley had

6693
03:37:25,470 --> 03:37:25,679
demonstrated thoughtful

6694
03:37:25,679 --> 03:37:26,282
leadership a commitment to

6695
03:37:26,282 --> 03:37:28,282
understanding a complex

6696
03:37:30,218 --> 03:37:30,752
planning issue and a deep sense

6697
03:37:30,752 --> 03:37:31,486
of responsibility to

6698
03:37:31,486 --> 03:37:31,919
the neighbors they were elected

6699
03:37:31,919 --> 03:37:33,919
to represent.

6700
03:37:36,910 --> 03:37:36,792
Community planning groups are

6701
03:37:36,792 --> 03:37:37,325
not simply another opportunity

6702
03:37:37,325 --> 03:37:38,590
for public comment.

6703
03:37:38,590 --> 03:37:41,590
They are the city's established

6704
03:37:42,597 --> 03:37:43,331
community planning bodies.

6705
03:37:43,331 --> 03:37:43,632
They understand the community

6706
03:37:43,632 --> 03:37:44,198
plans.

6707
03:37:44,198 --> 03:37:44,633
They understand their

6708
03:37:44,633 --> 03:37:46,633
neighborhoods.

6709
03:37:48,270 --> 03:37:48,870
A planning process should never

6710
03:37:48,870 --> 03:37:49,570
leave communities asking

6711
03:37:49,570 --> 03:37:50,272
fundamental questions about a

6712
03:37:50,272 --> 03:37:52,672
significant policy only after

6713
03:37:54,476 --> 03:37:55,343
it's too late.

6714
03:37:55,343 --> 03:37:56,110
This is how trust is lost.

6715
03:37:56,110 --> 03:37:58,411
Rebuilding that trust begins

6716
03:38:00,749 --> 03:38:01,483
with giving planning groups a

6717
03:38:01,483 --> 03:38:02,184
seat at the table to the policy

6718
03:38:02,184 --> 03:38:04,184
conversations earlier sharing

6719
03:38:06,821 --> 03:38:07,356
planning context openly and

6720
03:38:07,356 --> 03:38:08,230
making better use of

6721
03:38:08,230 --> 03:38:08,522
the institutional knowledge

6722
03:38:08,522 --> 03:38:09,123
that they provide.

6723
03:38:09,123 --> 03:38:11,523
>> When an appeal raises

6724
03:38:14,396 --> 03:38:15,970
questions that reach beyond one

6725
03:38:15,970 --> 03:38:15,797
project and into the integrity

6726
03:38:15,797 --> 03:38:16,465
of the process that concludes

6727
03:38:16,465 --> 03:38:18,500
those questions deserve our

6728
03:38:18,500 --> 03:38:18,867
time concluded.

6729
03:38:18,867 --> 03:38:20,867

the absence of the required

appeal hearing.

03:40:37,573 --> 03:40:40,573
Although the hearing notice was

included my physical mailing

6805
03:40:58,261 --> 03:40:58,694
address yet I did not receive

6806
03:40:58,694 --> 03:40:59,361
mailed notice.

6807
03:40:59,361 --> 03:41:00,620
>> I understand counsel MAY

also hear testimony today from

6809

other affected persons who did

6810
03:41:04,967 --> 03:41:05,635
not receive mailed notice that

6811
03:41:05,635 --> 03:41:07,635
raises unresolved compliance

6812
03:41:10,806 --> 03:41:11,474
issues under San Diego

6813
03:41:11,474 --> 03:41:13,474
Municipal Code sections 112

the required posting mailing

6816
03:41:16,444 --> 03:41:18,844
and verification of notice.

6817
03:41:21,450 --> 03:41:24,450
These issues are not harmless

6818
03:41:27,290 --> 03:41:28,240
if founded notice is what gives

6819
03:41:28,240 --> 03:41:28,658
affected residents time to see,

6820
03:41:28,658 --> 03:41:30,658
prepare, organize, submit

6821
03:41:33,596 --> 03:41:34,330
evidence and participate that

6822
03:41:34,330 --> 03:41:34,997
would matter in any district in

6823
03:41:34,997 --> 03:41:35,431
San Diego and that includes

6824
03:41:35,431 --> 03:41:37,431
District four.

6825
03:41:39,502 --> 03:41:40,202
I ask Council to continue

6826
03:41:40,202 --> 03:41:40,837
the hearing or take the matter

6827
03:41:40,837 --> 03:41:43,237
off calendar until notice

6828
03:41:45,410 --> 03:41:45,708
record is complete and legally

6829
03:41:45,708 --> 03:41:46,142
meaningful participation has

6830
03:41:46,142 --> 03:41:48,142
been provided.

6831
03:41:51,314 --> 03:41:52,480
I also want to be clear that

6832
03:41:52,480 --> 03:41:52,715
the community is not abandoning

6833
03:41:52,715 --> 03:41:53,249
the footnote seven issue in

6834
03:41:53,249 --> 03:41:55,249
the Klauber appeal.

6835
03:41:57,820 --> 03:41:58,554
Council member Ken Peel called

6836
03:41:58,554 --> 03:41:59,222
Footnote seven a poisoned tree.

6837
03:41:59,222 --> 03:42:01,622
This proposed project grows

6838
03:42:02,592 --> 03:42:03,359
from that same tree.

6839
03:42:03,359 --> 03:42:04,127
With that preserved I will turn

6840
03:42:04,127 --> 03:42:07,727
to issues of this project for

6841
03:42:08,363 --> 03:42:08,698
particular record council

6842
03:42:08,698 --> 03:42:10,698
members.

6843
03:42:13,769 --> 03:42:14,336
This decision is about scale

6844
03:42:14,336 --> 03:42:14,737
and scale determines

6845
03:42:14,737 --> 03:42:15,338
trajectory.

6846
03:42:15,338 --> 03:42:17,338
Scale determines whether

6847
03:42:20,442 --> 03:42:21,110
the site functions as a

6848
03:42:21,110 --> 03:42:21,811
generational infrastructure

6849
03:42:21,811 --> 03:42:23,811
generational infrastructure or

6850
03:42:26,490 --> 03:42:26,682
becomes another isolated

6851
03:42:26,682 --> 03:42:27,417
subdivision placed into a

6852
03:42:27,417 --> 03:42:28,510
community already disordered by

6853
03:42:28,510 --> 03:42:30,451
generations of public and

6854
03:42:32,255 --> 03:42:33,220
private disinvestment.

6855
03:42:33,220 --> 03:42:33,722
District four is already one of

6856
03:42:33,722 --> 03:42:36,722
the densest councils in San

6857
03:42:39,950 --> 03:42:39,729
Diego and it has the worst

6858
03:42:39,729 --> 03:42:40,960
resource density ratio in

6859
03:42:40,960 --> 03:42:42,960
the city.

6860
03:42:44,501 --> 03:42:45,340
That means district four is not

6861
03:42:45,340 --> 03:42:45,600
simply under built.

6862
03:42:45,600 --> 03:42:46,690
It is overburdened and

6863
03:42:46,690 --> 03:42:48,690
under-resourced.

6864
03:42:50,240 --> 03:42:50,940
It has carried more than its

6865
03:42:50,940 --> 03:42:51,640
proportionate share of income

6866
03:42:51,640 --> 03:42:52,241
restricted housing and because

6867
03:42:52,241 --> 03:42:54,241
disinvestment suppressed

6868
03:42:56,513 --> 03:42:57,247
surrounding value even market

6869
03:42:57,247 --> 03:42:57,880
rate housing on this hill would

6870
03:42:57,880 --> 03:43:00,880
be discounted by the very

6871
03:43:02,419 --> 03:43:02,819
conditions the city has allowed

6872
03:43:02,819 --> 03:43:03,586
to persist.

6873
03:43:03,586 --> 03:43:06,586
That does not change trajectory

6874
03:43:08,658 --> 03:43:09,359
scale can This hill is the only

6875
03:43:09,359 --> 03:43:10,126
site in District four capable

6876
03:43:10,126 --> 03:43:13,726
of operating at that level of

6877
03:43:14,664 --> 03:43:17,640
scale and prominence its

6878
03:43:18,902 --> 03:43:19,569
elevation acreage and 360

6879
03:43:19,569 --> 03:43:20,270
degree vantage point make it

6880
03:43:20,270 --> 03:43:23,270
uniquely suited to function as

6881
03:43:24,441 --> 03:43:25,175
a regional destination not a

6882
03:43:25,175 --> 03:43:25,876
pocket park, not a neighborhood

6883
03:43:25,876 --> 03:43:29,476
amenity but a city wide draw.

6884
03:43:31,814 --> 03:43:32,481
You have been told that you are

6885
03:43:32,481 --> 03:43:32,748
constrained by state housing

6886
03:43:32,748 --> 03:43:33,149
law.

6887
03:43:33,149 --> 03:43:35,149
You are not.

6888
03:43:37,720 --> 03:43:38,388
The Housing accountability Act

6889
03:43:38,388 --> 03:43:39,550
applies only if the project

6890
03:43:39,550 --> 03:43:41,455
complies with all objective

6891
03:43:43,260 --> 03:43:43,894
standards In effect at the time

6892
03:43:43,894 --> 03:43:44,260
the application was deemed

6893
03:43:44,260 --> 03:43:44,928
complete.

6894
03:43:44,928 --> 03:43:47,928
The idea that every project

6895
03:43:48,632 --> 03:43:49,332
must be approved and that it

6896
03:43:49,332 --> 03:43:50,330
creates an unmistakable health

6897
03:43:50,330 --> 03:43:53,330
and safety hazard risk skips

6898
03:43:55,138 --> 03:43:55,538
the very first step of

6899
03:43:55,538 --> 03:43:56,206
the statute.

6900
03:43:56,206 --> 03:43:58,606
Whether the project complies

6901
03:44:01,111 --> 03:44:01,711
with objective standards.

6902
03:44:01,711 --> 03:44:02,412
That step matters here.

6903
03:44:02,412 --> 03:44:05,412
Staff says the community plan

6904
03:44:07,285 --> 03:44:07,851
allows up to 125 units and this

6905
03:44:07,851 --> 03:44:09,851
project proposes 123.

6906
03:44:13,156 --> 03:44:13,790
Staff also says the applicant

6907
03:44:13,790 --> 03:44:14,624
qualifies for a 5% density

6908
03:44:14,624 --> 03:44:18,224
bonus but is not using that

6909
03:44:18,762 --> 03:44:19,262
bonus density that bonus to

6910
03:44:19,262 --> 03:44:21,262
increase density.

6911
03:44:23,967 --> 03:44:24,668
So the question is narrow.

6912
03:44:24,668 --> 03:44:25,369
Can the legally protected

6913
03:44:25,369 --> 03:44:28,369
number of homes be physically

6914
03:44:30,707 --> 03:44:31,341
built on this site?

6915
03:44:31,341 --> 03:44:32,420
If objective standards in

6916
03:44:32,420 --> 03:44:35,420
the community plan are applied

6917
03:44:36,913 --> 03:44:37,648
or do the standards only

6918
03:44:37,648 --> 03:44:38,281
interfere with this developer's

6919
03:44:38,281 --> 03:44:40,281
preferred subdivision map

6920
03:44:43,253 --> 03:44:44,870
the objective standards that

6921
03:44:44,870 --> 03:44:44,688
issue are not big or mysterious

6922
03:44:44,688 --> 03:44:45,422
In this proposed project

6923
03:44:45,422 --> 03:44:48,422
the street frontage with corner

6924
03:44:48,825 --> 03:44:49,526
lot with like depth and

6925
03:44:49,526 --> 03:44:52,526
driveway curb opening limits a

6926
03:44:53,496 --> 03:44:54,131
developer MAY prefer 123

6927
03:44:54,131 --> 03:44:54,764
detached lot a particular

6928
03:44:54,764 --> 03:44:57,164
street layout a particular

6929
03:44:59,102 --> 03:44:59,770

6930
03:44:59,770 --> 03:45:00,370
particular open space buffer

6931
03:45:00,370 --> 03:45:02,370
particular driveway curb

6932
03:45:05,475 --> 03:45:05,876
openings particular lot

6933
03:45:05,876 --> 03:45:06,577
dimensions.

6934
03:45:06,577 --> 03:45:07,277
But density bonus law does not

6935
03:45:07,277 --> 03:45:09,677
protect every preferred design

6936
03:45:12,810 --> 03:45:12,783
choice.

6937
03:45:12,783 --> 03:45:13,417
It protects against objective

6938
03:45:13,417 --> 03:45:15,417
standards that physically

6939
03:45:18,155 --> 03:45:18,489
preclude the legally protected

6940
03:45:18,489 --> 03:45:19,189
density.

6941
03:45:19,189 --> 03:45:22,189
Staff's own report says strict

6942
03:45:23,260 --> 03:45:24,160
compliance could reduce

6943
03:45:24,160 --> 03:45:24,862
the project by 8 to 14 lots and

6944
03:45:24,862 --> 03:45:25,429
could potentially reduce up to

6945
03:45:25,429 --> 03:45:27,429
two affordable units.

6946
03:45:29,899 --> 03:45:30,434
But the report frames that as a

6947
03:45:30,434 --> 03:45:31,680
loss of maximization

6948
03:45:31,680 --> 03:45:33,680
development potential and

6949
03:45:35,500 --> 03:45:35,739
slightly out of preference.

6950
03:45:35,739 --> 03:45:36,373
That is not the same as a

6951
03:45:36,373 --> 03:45:38,773
finding that no compliant

6952
03:45:41,412 --> 03:45:42,112
design can physically achieve

6953
03:45:42,112 --> 03:45:42,846
the density protected by law.

6954
03:45:42,846 --> 03:45:46,446
>> If the record does not prove

6955
03:45:47,951 --> 03:45:48,652
that the standards physically

6956
03:45:48,652 --> 03:45:51,520
preclude the legally protected

6957
03:45:52,990 --> 03:45:53,457
number of units, 88 does not

6958
03:45:53,457 --> 03:45:55,457
compel approval.

6959
03:45:58,762 --> 03:45:59,430
Council is not bound to approve

6960
03:45:59,430 --> 03:46:02,430
this project now because you

6961
03:46:04,801 --> 03:46:05,569
retain discretion.

6962
03:46:05,569 --> 03:46:06,303
The next question is how that

6963
03:46:06,303 --> 03:46:08,703
discretion should be exercised.

6964
03:46:11,342 --> 03:46:11,775
This is not simply another

6965
03:46:11,775 --> 03:46:12,509
housing site.

6966
03:46:12,509 --> 03:46:13,177
This is the only remaining site

6967
03:46:13,177 --> 03:46:16,177
capable of changing the long

6968
03:46:17,347 --> 03:46:17,648
term trajectory of District

6969
03:46:17,648 --> 03:46:18,249
four.

6970
03:46:18,249 --> 03:46:21,249
We have had many council

6971
03:46:23,153 --> 03:46:23,888
members sit in that spot and we

6972
03:46:23,888 --> 03:46:24,255
are still in the condition that

6973
03:46:24,255 --> 03:46:24,955
we are in.

6974
03:46:24,955 --> 03:46:27,955
Denying this project would not

6975
03:46:29,259 --> 03:46:29,627
be arbitrary or unequal

6976
03:46:29,627 --> 03:46:30,260
treatment.

6977
03:46:30,260 --> 03:46:30,961
Equal protection protects

6978
03:46:30,961 --> 03:46:32,961
similarly situated applicants

6979
03:46:35,399 --> 03:46:35,833
from being treated differently

6980
03:46:35,833 --> 03:46:36,501
under the law.

6981
03:46:36,501 --> 03:46:39,501
But this is a discretionary

6982
03:46:41,272 --> 03:46:41,972
land use decision and this site

6983
03:46:41,972 --> 03:46:42,639
is not similarly situated to

6984
03:46:42,639 --> 03:46:43,274
ordinary development sites.

6985
03:46:43,274 --> 03:46:45,674
Council MAY evaluate this

6986
03:46:47,578 --> 03:46:48,311
application on the record

6987
03:46:48,311 --> 03:46:51,311
before it, including the site's

6988
03:46:53,918 --> 03:46:54,719
singular public value.

6989
03:46:54,719 --> 03:46:55,419
It is not merely the acreage it

6990
03:46:55,419 --> 03:46:56,200
is the combination elevations

6991
03:46:56,200 --> 03:46:58,200
sweeping views, regional

6992
03:47:00,224 --> 03:47:00,924
visibility, symbolic promise

6993
03:47:00,924 --> 03:47:01,592
and location and how much it

6994
03:47:01,592 --> 03:47:03,592
would affirmatively further

6995
03:47:05,963 --> 03:47:06,530
fair housing views of downtown

6996
03:47:06,530 --> 03:47:07,231
The bay, the ocean and

6997
03:47:07,231 --> 03:47:07,664
the surrounding mountains are

6998
03:47:07,664 --> 03:47:09,664
not cosmetic.

6999
03:47:11,635 --> 03:47:12,236
They are economic.

7000
03:47:12,236 --> 03:47:14,636
Even the applicant's own

7001
03:47:17,307 --> 03:47:17,875
presentation uses those views

7002
03:47:17,875 --> 03:47:18,542
to establish value.

7003
03:47:18,542 --> 03:47:20,942
>> That value should become

7004
03:47:22,130 --> 03:47:22,580
public value for District four

7005
03:47:22,580 --> 03:47:23,180
and the city at large.

7006
03:47:23,180 --> 03:47:23,881
They create the kind of

7007
03:47:23,881 --> 03:47:26,281
destination that could attract

7008
03:47:28,185 --> 03:47:28,853
institutions that usually

7009
03:47:28,853 --> 03:47:29,520
bypass resource communities,

7010
03:47:29,520 --> 03:47:31,520
satellite college campuses,

7011
03:47:33,991 --> 03:47:34,559
market rate, health care

7012
03:47:34,559 --> 03:47:35,193
nationally recognized

7013
03:47:35,193 --> 03:47:35,793
nonprofits, higher quality

7014
03:47:35,793 --> 03:47:36,193
retail and middle income

7015
03:47:36,193 --> 03:47:38,193
households.

7016
03:47:40,698 --> 03:47:41,465
There is no second sight

7017
03:47:41,465 --> 03:47:45,650
waiting in reserve if this hill

7018
03:47:46,304 --> 03:47:46,904
is subdivided.

7019
03:47:46,904 --> 03:47:47,638
The trajectory changing

7020
03:47:47,638 --> 03:47:48,239
opportunity is gone and because

7021
03:47:48,239 --> 03:47:50,639
this is a discretionary

7022
03:47:52,143 --> 03:47:52,677
entitlement the developer could

7023
03:47:52,677 --> 03:47:53,377
never guarantee that

7024
03:47:53,377 --> 03:47:55,777
entitlements would be granted.

7025
03:47:58,416 --> 03:47:59,150
Council's duty is not to

7026
03:47:59,150 --> 03:47:59,550
protect the private development

7027
03:47:59,550 --> 03:48:00,218
expectation.

7028
03:48:00,218 --> 03:48:03,818
Council's duty is to make an

7029
03:48:03,988 --> 03:48:04,555
independent lawful decision on

7030
03:48:04,555 --> 03:48:06,955
the record before it.

7031
03:48:08,893 --> 03:48:09,460
Now when I say District four

7032
03:48:09,460 --> 03:48:10,940
has been disordered by

7033
03:48:10,940 --> 03:48:10,762
generations of public and

7034
03:48:10,762 --> 03:48:13,162
private disinvestment I mean

7035
03:48:15,233 --> 03:48:15,533
previous I mean conditions like

7036
03:48:15,533 --> 03:48:17,533
this.

7037
03:48:21,172 --> 03:48:21,873
These are not side streets.

7038
03:48:21,873 --> 03:48:22,539
These are Euclid and Imperial

7039
03:48:22,539 --> 03:48:25,539
Avenues, the two most iconic

7040
03:48:27,378 --> 03:48:27,945
thoroughfares in District four.

7041
03:48:27,945 --> 03:48:28,613
One runs east west.

7042
03:48:28,613 --> 03:48:31,613
The other runs north South.

7043
03:48:32,617 --> 03:48:33,318
They shall warn commercial

7044
03:48:33,318 --> 03:48:33,884
frontage abandoned and deface

7045
03:48:33,884 --> 03:48:34,385
commercial properties.

7046
03:48:34,385 --> 03:48:36,385
Harsh heat island

7047
03:48:39,390 --> 03:48:40,123
infrastructure.

7048
03:48:40,123 --> 03:48:40,724
A weak pedestrian environment.

7049
03:48:40,724 --> 03:48:41,359
Corridor Conditions that

7050
03:48:41,359 --> 03:48:43,759
suppress value rather than

7051
03:48:45,230 --> 03:48:45,930
attract it.

7052
03:48:45,930 --> 03:48:46,664
Ordinary subdivision ad units

7053
03:48:46,664 --> 03:48:49,640
into that disordered landscape.

7054
03:48:51,302 --> 03:48:51,936
It does not reverse it.

7055
03:48:51,936 --> 03:48:54,336
Southeastern San Diego has

7056
03:48:57,742 --> 03:48:58,409
carried a disproportionate and

7057
03:48:58,409 --> 03:48:59,430
shameful share of the city's

7058
03:48:59,430 --> 03:48:59,744
very low and extremely low

7059
03:48:59,744 --> 03:49:01,744
restricted housing obligations

7060
03:49:03,848 --> 03:49:04,515
That imbalance became serious

7061
03:49:04,515 --> 03:49:04,983
enough that the city settled

7062
03:49:04,983 --> 03:49:05,550
the Baker case.

7063
03:49:05,550 --> 03:49:08,550
But lesson is not that

7064
03:49:10,788 --> 03:49:11,389
affordable housing is bad.

7065
03:49:11,389 --> 03:49:12,123
>> The lesson is that

7066
03:49:12,123 --> 03:49:12,657
concentrating income restricted

7067
03:49:12,657 --> 03:49:13,324
unit to low resource

7068
03:49:13,324 --> 03:49:15,324
communities before building

7069
03:49:15,360 --> 03:49:15,894
capacity around them does not

7070
03:49:15,894 --> 03:49:16,528
produce opportunity.

7071
03:49:16,528 --> 03:49:17,950
It does not affirmatively

7072
03:49:17,950 --> 03:49:19,950
further fair housing.

7073
03:49:21,933 --> 03:49:22,634
Matthew Desmond made that point

7074
03:49:22,634 --> 03:49:22,967
plainly in his book Poverty by

7075
03:49:22,967 --> 03:49:24,967
America.

7076
03:49:27,400 --> 03:49:27,706
Concentrated poverty Choked

7077
03:49:27,706 --> 03:49:28,730
opportunity from Children and

7078
03:49:28,730 --> 03:49:28,673
Families.

7079
03:49:28,673 --> 03:49:29,406
And District four is not

7080
03:49:29,406 --> 03:49:31,406
experiencing that concentration

7081
03:49:33,611 --> 03:49:34,312
by accident.

7082
03:49:34,312 --> 03:49:35,130
District four has roughly two

7083
03:49:35,130 --> 03:49:35,713
and a half times the citywide

7084
03:49:35,713 --> 03:49:38,113
percentage of black residents.

7085
03:49:40,510 --> 03:49:40,719
The disadvantage created by

7086
03:49:40,719 --> 03:49:41,453
the concentration accrues to

7087
03:49:41,453 --> 03:49:44,453
everyone who lives there across

7088
03:49:45,790 --> 03:49:46,491
race and ethnicity even when

7089
03:49:46,491 --> 03:49:47,192
their long term trajectory is

7090
03:49:47,192 --> 03:49:47,559
different from that The black

7091
03:49:47,559 --> 03:49:49,559
residents.

7092
03:49:51,529 --> 03:49:52,297
Housing is not just rooftops.

7093
03:49:52,297 --> 03:49:52,797
>> People do not live only

7094
03:49:52,797 --> 03:49:54,797
inside four walls.

7095
03:49:58,690 --> 03:49:58,737
People live in communities and

7096
03:49:58,737 --> 03:49:59,604
opportunity is not abstract.

7097
03:49:59,604 --> 03:50:03,804
It shows up in years of healthy

7098
03:50:03,842 --> 03:50:04,576
life educational attainment,

7099
03:50:04,576 --> 03:50:05,176
income of children matured into

7100
03:50:05,176 --> 03:50:07,176
adulthood, institutional

7101
03:50:10,315 --> 03:50:10,916
presence, quality retail and

7102
03:50:10,916 --> 03:50:11,516
whether children grow up

7103
03:50:11,516 --> 03:50:13,916
surrounded by signals of

7104
03:50:15,586 --> 03:50:16,188
investment or abandonment.

7105
03:50:16,188 --> 03:50:16,922
We have produced units.

7106
03:50:16,922 --> 03:50:17,289
What we have not produced is

7107
03:50:17,289 --> 03:50:19,289
capacity.

7108
03:50:22,127 --> 03:50:22,794
Capacity before density is

7109
03:50:22,794 --> 03:50:23,428
the principle here Capacity

7110
03:50:23,428 --> 03:50:25,828
that signals stability to

7111
03:50:27,666 --> 03:50:28,333
businesses and institutions and

7112
03:50:28,333 --> 03:50:28,600
to attract a broader income

7113
03:50:28,600 --> 03:50:29,234
mix.

7114
03:50:29,234 --> 03:50:31,634
If density alone created

7115
03:50:33,972 --> 03:50:34,605
resources, District four would

7116
03:50:34,605 --> 03:50:38,205
already be one of the best

7117
03:50:39,544 --> 03:50:39,878
served communities in San Diego

7118
03:50:39,878 --> 03:50:40,479
.

7119
03:50:40,479 --> 03:50:41,790
>> The data confirm what

7120
03:50:41,790 --> 03:50:41,413
residents have lived for

7121
03:50:41,413 --> 03:50:43,413
decades.

7122
03:50:46,251 --> 03:50:46,985
District four carries high

7123
03:50:46,985 --> 03:50:47,586
density with almost no resource

7124
03:50:47,586 --> 03:50:48,187
capacity underneath it.

7125
03:50:48,187 --> 03:50:51,187
Look at that bar graph.

7126
03:50:51,823 --> 03:50:52,491
Among all nine council

7127
03:50:52,491 --> 03:50:53,158
districts, District four has

7128
03:50:53,158 --> 03:50:53,458
the lowest resource density

7129
03:50:53,458 --> 03:50:55,458
ratio.

7130
03:50:58,529 --> 03:50:59,264
This is why the answer cannot

7131
03:50:59,264 --> 03:51:00,699
be more density on the one side

7132
03:51:00,699 --> 03:51:03,699
capable of building capacity at

7133
03:51:07,390 --> 03:51:07,773
scale.

7134
03:51:07,773 --> 03:51:08,473
I expect you MAY hear about

7135
03:51:08,473 --> 03:51:08,840
recent improvements that have

7136
03:51:08,840 --> 03:51:10,840
been made.

7137
03:51:13,312 --> 03:51:14,120
The mlk Pool Murray Whitman

7138
03:51:14,120 --> 03:51:14,413
Park The Skate Park Community

7139
03:51:14,413 --> 03:51:16,413
Stewardship.

7140
03:51:19,785 --> 03:51:20,184
I welcome every one of those

7141
03:51:20,184 --> 03:51:20,786
investments.

7142
03:51:20,786 --> 03:51:21,453
But improvements are not

7143
03:51:21,453 --> 03:51:23,853
the same as transformation.

7144
03:51:24,857 --> 03:51:25,424
A renovated pool does not

7145
03:51:25,424 --> 03:51:25,991
replace the 31 acres.

7146
03:51:25,991 --> 03:51:26,724
A skate park does not.

7147
03:51:26,724 --> 03:51:29,124
Resident Stewardship Grants and

7148
03:51:31,430 --> 03:51:32,197
plans do not.

7149
03:51:32,197 --> 03:51:35,197
Nor do frontage improvements or

7150
03:51:35,601 --> 03:51:36,680
60th street widening Replace

7151
03:51:36,680 --> 03:51:36,735
these 31 acres.

7152
03:51:36,735 --> 03:51:37,302
Those investments matter but

7153
03:51:37,302 --> 03:51:39,302
they are incremental.

7154
03:51:46,745 --> 03:51:47,412
This hill is structural.

7155
03:51:47,412 --> 03:51:48,460
Residents have been asked to

7156
03:51:48,460 --> 03:51:50,446
trust assurances before on

7157
03:51:52,183 --> 03:51:52,918
Klauber counsel was assured

7158
03:51:52,918 --> 03:51:53,351
that the required public notice

7159
03:51:53,351 --> 03:51:54,180
had occurred.

7160
03:51:54,180 --> 03:51:57,618
But the staff report did not

7161
03:51:59,123 --> 03:51:59,825
contain the proof in its

7162
03:51:59,825 --> 03:52:02,225
response of public records

7163
03:52:04,797 --> 03:52:05,497
Later showed that the developer

7164
03:52:05,497 --> 03:52:06,197
certification of proper public

7165
03:52:06,197 --> 03:52:09,197
notice was blank and unsigned.

7166
03:52:11,337 --> 03:52:12,171
That history matters today when

7167
03:52:12,171 --> 03:52:15,771
staff now said it leaves no

7168
03:52:17,343 --> 03:52:18,110
discretion.

7169
03:52:18,110 --> 03:52:18,510
The record has to support that

7170
03:52:18,510 --> 03:52:20,510
claim here.

7171
03:52:23,148 --> 03:52:23,447
The record before you does not

7172
03:52:23,447 --> 03:52:23,983
.

7173
03:52:23,983 --> 03:52:24,650
>> Once residential

7174
03:52:24,650 --> 03:52:25,184
stakeholders are introduced,

7175
03:52:25,184 --> 03:52:27,184
scale is foreclosed.

7176
03:52:29,455 --> 03:52:30,122
New homeowners gain standing to

attrition of land and will be

03:52:37,797 --> 03:52:39,797

on community planning groups.

7187
03:52:43,235 --> 03:52:43,536
Attrition becomes a permanent

7188
03:52:43,536 --> 03:52:45,536
loss.

7189
03:52:47,139 --> 03:52:47,506
The city can mitigate another

7190
03:52:47,506 --> 03:52:48,140
facility.

7191
03:52:48,140 --> 03:52:48,741
The city can fund another

7192
03:52:48,741 --> 03:52:50,741
improvement project but

7193
03:52:52,978 --> 03:52:53,746
the city cannot recreate or

7194
03:52:53,746 --> 03:52:54,460
relocate Towers Hill once it is

7195
03:52:54,460 --> 03:52:54,747
gone.

7196
03:52:54,747 --> 03:52:55,214
Granting the appeal should be

7197
03:52:55,214 --> 03:52:57,214
the beginning of

7198
03:52:58,483 --> 03:52:58,918
the preservation pathway, not

7199
03:52:58,918 --> 03:52:59,618
the end of it.

7200
03:52:59,618 --> 03:53:00,219
Council should direct staff to

7211
03:53:16,402 --> 03:53:17,690
Councilmember Foster You can

result of the vote on this

7220
03:53:30,383 --> 03:53:32,383
project.

7221
03:53:34,387 --> 03:53:35,121
The question is how will this

7222
03:53:35,121 --> 03:53:35,755
be The council that permanently

7223
03:53:35,755 --> 03:53:38,155
locked District four into

7224
03:53:39,924 --> 03:53:40,293
the continuing legacy of

7225
03:53:40,293 --> 03:53:40,993
redlining?

7226
03:53:40,993 --> 03:53:41,727
Or will it be the council that

7227
03:53:41,727 --> 03:53:45,297
finally came to terms with that

7228
03:53:45,297 --> 03:53:45,931
legacy and created a mechanism

7229
03:53:45,931 --> 03:53:46,632
to save countless years of

7230
03:53:46,632 --> 03:53:47,366
healthy life of the now living

7231
03:53:47,366 --> 03:53:50,670
and dead unborn due to more

7232
03:53:50,670 --> 03:53:51,103
than seven decades of

7233
03:53:51,103 --> 03:53:51,704
disinvestment?

7234
03:53:51,704 --> 03:53:52,710
The city has allowed to

7235
03:53:52,710 --> 03:53:54,710
continue.

7236
03:53:56,408 --> 03:54:00,800
Council members We ask you to

7237
03:54:01,480 --> 03:54:03,480

Good afternoon.

7279
03:55:35,775 --> 03:55:38,775
Um, I'm really disturbed about

7280
03:55:40,130 --> 03:55:40,780
what happened earlier and

7281
03:55:40,780 --> 03:55:44,380
probably the first time that I

7282
03:55:45,418 --> 03:55:45,785
ever felt disconnected from my

7283
03:55:45,785 --> 03:55:47,785
community.

7284
03:55:50,623 --> 03:55:51,324
Official Good afternoon.

7285
03:55:51,324 --> 03:55:54,324
My name is Mary Young.

7286
03:55:55,795 --> 03:55:56,162
I come from a community of

7287
03:55:56,162 --> 03:55:58,162
greatness.

7288
03:56:00,633 --> 03:56:01,401
>> I am here to honor that

7289
03:56:01,401 --> 03:56:05,100
legacy and to remind you that

7290
03:56:05,638 --> 03:56:06,339
our history, our people, our

7291
03:56:06,339 --> 03:56:08,339
neighborhood deserves respect

7292
03:56:11,611 --> 03:56:15,482
for tection and a real voice in

7293
03:56:15,482 --> 03:56:15,815
decisions that affect my

7294
03:56:15,815 --> 03:56:17,815
family.

7295
03:56:20,530 --> 03:56:21,210
Story begins in Concord,

7296
03:56:21,210 --> 03:56:24,621
California where we lived in an

7297
03:56:26,920 --> 03:56:29,920
integrated field housing and my

7298
03:56:31,970 --> 03:56:31,632
brother attended and integrated

7299
03:56:31,632 --> 03:56:34,320
d o d school.

7300
03:56:35,836 --> 03:56:36,403
My father Worchester Duke Young

7301
03:56:36,403 --> 03:56:39,403
served in the us Navy.

7302
03:56:41,141 --> 03:56:44,141
My mother Sissako Young became

7303
03:56:44,744 --> 03:56:45,111
American citizen on SEPTEMBER

7304
03:56:45,111 --> 03:56:47,111
8th, 1960.

7305
03:56:50,417 --> 03:56:50,917
We had freedom, safety and

7306
03:56:50,917 --> 03:56:52,917
opportunity there.

7307
03:56:54,855 --> 03:56:55,455
But when my father was

7308
03:56:55,455 --> 03:56:57,855
transferred to San Diego

7309
03:56:59,693 --> 03:57:00,660
everything changed.

7310
03:57:00,660 --> 03:57:04,860
>> D.O.D. Housing was closed to

7311
03:57:04,998 --> 03:57:05,698
us Red lining shaped where

7312
03:57:05,698 --> 03:57:08,698
families and colored live and

7313
03:57:09,669 --> 03:57:10,237
racism followed us as we

7314
03:57:10,237 --> 03:57:12,637
searched for our home.

7315
03:57:14,675 --> 03:57:15,208
For a year every Sunday my

7316
03:57:15,208 --> 03:57:15,876
family drove through

7317
03:57:15,876 --> 03:57:16,175
neighborhoods looking for a

7318
03:57:16,175 --> 03:57:16,443
house.

7319
03:57:16,443 --> 03:57:18,443
Why?

7320
03:57:19,379 --> 03:57:20,147
My mother reminded villagers

7321
03:57:20,147 --> 03:57:23,747
that her husband had served in

7322
03:57:24,483 --> 03:57:24,984
two wars and that she wasn't

7323
03:57:24,984 --> 03:57:26,984
American citizen.

7324
03:57:29,423 --> 03:57:30,900
Eventually we found Rancho Zero

7325
03:57:30,900 --> 03:57:33,900
and Alta Vista a development

7326
03:57:34,161 --> 03:57:34,561
built for military families and

7327
03:57:34,561 --> 03:57:36,561
minorities.

7328
03:57:38,998 --> 03:57:39,633
Walking through that front door

7329
03:57:39,633 --> 03:57:40,367
felt like walking through

7330
03:57:40,367 --> 03:57:43,967
the gates of heaven where those

7331
03:57:44,337 --> 03:57:48,537
red lines we found a place of

7332
03:57:48,575 --> 03:57:49,642
dignity, safety and greatness.

7333
03:57:49,642 --> 03:57:53,814
So I want you to be sure that

7334
03:57:53,814 --> 03:57:54,148
this issue here is not about

7335
03:57:54,148 --> 03:57:56,148
housing.

7336
03:57:58,752 --> 03:57:59,253
>> The greatness is everywhere

7337
03:57:59,253 --> 03:58:01,253
in our community.

7338
03:58:03,824 --> 03:58:04,524
It is in neighbors like MR.

7339
03:58:04,524 --> 03:58:07,524
Robinson, a retired fire chief

7340
03:58:08,495 --> 03:58:09,196
and master gardener who talked

7341
03:58:09,196 --> 03:58:09,830
children about urban gardening

7342
03:58:09,830 --> 03:58:12,230
and protecting the earth.

7343
03:58:13,634 --> 03:58:14,401
It is in our Filipino Navy

7344
03:58:14,401 --> 03:58:17,401
families who advocated for Nye

7345
03:58:18,739 --> 03:58:21,139
Elementary School, one of

7346
03:58:23,577 --> 03:58:24,440
California's top schools 20%

7347
03:58:24,440 --> 03:58:26,440
that has 95%.

7348
03:58:28,470 --> 03:58:30,470
Minority enrollment.

7349
03:58:32,720 --> 03:58:35,720
>> It is about our Montford

7350
03:58:37,358 --> 03:58:37,924
Point Marines Congressional

7351
03:58:37,924 --> 03:58:39,924
Gold Medal recipients.

7352
03:58:42,929 --> 03:58:44,932
>> We have the majority of them

7353
03:58:44,932 --> 03:58:45,799
west of the Mississippi living

7354
03:58:45,799 --> 03:58:49,399
in the fourth District, the one

7355
03:58:50,904 --> 03:58:53,904
remaining it is about Maurice

7356
03:58:54,975 --> 03:58:55,743
Rafael Portela, Navy Cross

7357
03:58:55,743 --> 03:58:58,743
recipient who threw himself on

7358
03:59:00,114 --> 03:59:00,480
a grenade Marine ship named

7359
03:59:00,480 --> 03:59:02,480
after him.

7360
03:59:05,119 --> 03:59:05,819
For Morath excellence it is

7361
03:59:05,819 --> 03:59:08,819
about the graduates of Lincoln

7362
03:59:09,490 --> 03:59:13,690
and Morath who went on to serve

7363
03:59:14,395 --> 03:59:14,895
coach compete lead at

7364
03:59:14,895 --> 03:59:16,895
the highest level.

7365
03:59:19,233 --> 03:59:20,000
It is Willie Shaw's legacy.

7366
03:59:20,000 --> 03:59:23,600
It is more than athletes who

7367
03:59:24,710 --> 03:59:24,404
reach Major League Baseball's

7368
03:59:24,404 --> 03:59:26,404
legacy.

7369
03:59:28,509 --> 03:59:28,843
30 of them went to Major

7370
03:59:28,843 --> 03:59:30,843
league.

7371
03:59:33,414 --> 03:59:33,748
It is about Lincoln's football

7372
03:59:33,748 --> 03:59:34,415
legacy.

7373
03:59:34,415 --> 03:59:37,415
Number four in the nation's

7374
03:59:38,285 --> 03:59:39,530
produced professional players

7375
03:59:39,530 --> 03:59:42,530
we produce four Heisman Trophy

7376
03:59:43,324 --> 03:59:45,324
winner Jackie Thompson.

7377
03:59:48,295 --> 03:59:50,295
Olympian Monique Henderson,

7378
03:59:53,300 --> 03:59:54,100
Olympian and Ross King, a

7379
03:59:54,100 --> 03:59:57,100
retired nurse from Encanto who

7380
03:59:57,872 --> 04:00:00,272
began playing tennis at 40.

7381
04:00:01,442 --> 04:00:02,109
She is now ranked number one in

7382
04:00:02,109 --> 04:00:05,709
the world in doubles for her

7383
04:00:06,280 --> 04:00:07,247
age group excellence.

7384
04:00:07,247 --> 04:00:10,847
And even when our young people

7385
04:00:11,752 --> 04:00:12,219
face neglect, they still rose

7386
04:00:12,219 --> 04:00:12,887
to the occasion.

7387
04:00:12,887 --> 04:00:15,287
Lincoln High School football

7388
04:00:16,824 --> 04:00:19,224
players lost access to

7389
04:00:21,362 --> 04:00:22,640
the field because of floods and

7390
04:00:22,640 --> 04:00:22,430
had to practice outside their

7391
04:00:22,430 --> 04:00:24,430
community.

7392
04:00:26,300 --> 04:00:27,100
Yet they brought a championship

7393
04:00:27,100 --> 04:00:27,401
in home to their community and

7394
04:00:27,401 --> 04:00:29,401
their city.

7395
04:00:31,404 --> 04:00:31,872
>> Our planning groups reflect

7396
04:00:31,872 --> 04:00:33,872
greatness also.

7397
04:00:35,710 --> 04:00:36,510
>> Members from our planning

7398
04:00:36,510 --> 04:00:40,110
groups on their own secured a

7399
04:00:40,481 --> 04:00:41,470
voucher program to reduce

7400
04:00:41,470 --> 04:00:41,482
segregation and expand

7401
04:00:41,482 --> 04:00:43,482
opportunities.

7402
04:00:46,200 --> 04:00:46,686
Others have fought for the Fort

7403
04:00:46,686 --> 04:00:48,686
Freeway encroachment through

7404
04:00:50,858 --> 04:00:53,258
our community participated in

7405
04:00:55,128 --> 04:00:57,528
the concentration of poverty

7406
04:00:59,200 --> 04:00:59,634
lawsuit and continue to stay

7407
04:00:59,634 --> 04:01:00,567
engaged.

7408
04:01:00,567 --> 04:01:04,167
Even though we lost the power

7409
04:01:05,273 --> 04:01:08,273
support and investment of ac

7410
04:01:10,100 --> 04:01:10,511
dc, that's when the city just

7411
04:01:10,511 --> 04:01:12,511
rolled over us.

7412
04:01:15,116 --> 04:01:15,416
>> We listened to our community

7413
04:01:15,416 --> 04:01:15,983
.

7414
04:01:15,983 --> 04:01:16,450
We invite people in.

7415
04:01:16,450 --> 04:01:18,450
We stay engaged.

7416
04:01:23,891 --> 04:01:24,558
But too often the city ignores

7417
04:01:24,558 --> 04:01:26,958
our community plan opens

7418
04:01:29,197 --> 04:01:32,197
the doors to Predator investors

7419
04:01:34,368 --> 04:01:36,368
and developers.

7420
04:01:38,605 --> 04:01:41,605
They invite and write policies

7421
04:01:43,440 --> 04:01:43,344
and then fails to correct them

7422
04:01:43,344 --> 04:01:45,344
.

7423
04:01:46,381 --> 04:01:50,581
We are the people who know our

7424
04:01:52,120 --> 04:01:53,860
community the best.

7425
04:01:53,860 --> 04:01:56,591
>> We are the people who live

7426
04:01:56,591 --> 04:01:57,625
here.

7427
04:01:57,625 --> 04:02:01,128
>> We are the people who fight

7428
04:02:01,128 --> 04:02:03,128
here.

7429
04:02:05,633 --> 04:02:06,101
We are the people who carry

7430
04:02:06,101 --> 04:02:08,101
history forward.

7431
04:02:11,506 --> 04:02:11,845
We are your people, not policy

7432
04:02:11,845 --> 04:02:13,845
makers.

7433
04:02:16,511 --> 04:02:18,911
We are your people.

7434
04:02:21,216 --> 04:02:22,117
>> We are asking for a space to

7435
04:02:22,117 --> 04:02:25,717
honor our legacy and to show

7436
04:02:26,721 --> 04:02:29,721
our greatness the legacy that

7437
04:02:31,626 --> 04:02:32,600
belongs to the people who have

7438
04:02:32,600 --> 04:02:34,600
built it here.

7439
04:02:35,897 --> 04:02:36,931
We want you to protect it.

7440
04:02:36,931 --> 04:02:40,435
We want to continue to live it

7441
04:02:40,435 --> 04:02:41,690
again.

7442
04:02:41,690 --> 04:02:43,469
We are the people.

7443
04:02:45,440 --> 04:02:47,840
Please respect our history.

7444
04:02:49,978 --> 04:02:50,378
Protect our community and stand

7445
04:02:50,378 --> 04:02:52,378
with us.

7446
04:02:52,914 --> 04:02:54,914
Support the appeal.

7447
04:02:58,453 --> 04:02:58,954
Thank you.

7448
04:02:58,954 --> 04:02:59,487
Thank you.

7449
04:02:59,487 --> 04:03:00,155
Our final organized

7450
04:03:00,155 --> 04:03:02,555
presentation here in council

7451
04:03:03,792 --> 04:03:04,259
chambers is Thomas.

7452
04:03:04,259 --> 04:03:04,593
Melanie Thomas.

7453
04:03:04,593 --> 04:03:05,270
Melanie.

7454
04:03:05,270 --> 04:03:05,894
You have time.

7455
04:03:05,894 --> 04:03:09,300
You have a participant on your

7456
04:03:09,300 --> 04:03:09,698
list as Janet o'Dell.

7457
04:03:09,698 --> 04:03:12,980
>> You'll have two minutes.

7458
04:03:13,168 --> 04:03:13,535
Please proceed.

7459
04:03:13,535 --> 04:03:14,269
Thank you.

7460
04:03:14,269 --> 04:03:17,269
I'm Tom Delaney representing a

7461
04:03:18,206 --> 04:03:18,940
group of San Diego.

7462
04:03:18,940 --> 04:03:19,241
We support cpo by the planning

7463
04:03:19,241 --> 04:03:19,941
group.

7464
04:03:19,941 --> 04:03:23,178
I want to describe some of

7465
04:03:23,178 --> 04:03:23,713
the reasons why that appeal

7466
04:03:23,713 --> 04:03:24,379
should be upheld and

7467
04:03:24,379 --> 04:03:27,115
the decision of the Planning

7468
04:03:27,115 --> 04:03:27,783
Commission reversed.

7469
04:03:27,783 --> 04:03:28,750
First is footnote seven.

7470
04:03:28,750 --> 04:03:32,350
This fine print shows how far

7471
04:03:32,588 --> 04:03:33,255
dsd in the Planning Department

7472
04:03:33,255 --> 04:03:36,855
will go to fool the public.

7473
04:03:37,159 --> 04:03:37,860
The staff report focused on

7474
04:03:37,860 --> 04:03:38,493
the time three years ago when

7475
04:03:38,493 --> 04:03:40,893
the application was made.

7476
04:03:42,230 --> 04:03:42,698
They ignored a unique aspect of

7477
04:03:42,698 --> 04:03:43,432
Footnote seven.

7478
04:03:43,432 --> 04:03:47,320
It was inserted into the zoning

7479
04:03:47,202 --> 04:03:47,703
code improperly and was invalid

7480
04:03:47,703 --> 04:03:48,369
from the start.

7481
04:03:48,369 --> 04:03:50,769
I've submitted an attorney's

7482
04:03:52,400 --> 04:03:52,374
letter which explains that in

7483
04:03:52,374 --> 04:03:53,750
detail.

7484
04:03:53,750 --> 04:03:56,750
The lesson from footnote seven

7485
04:03:56,645 --> 04:03:57,379
is the residents of this unit

7486
04:03:57,379 --> 04:03:57,980
cannot trust the city staff who

7487
04:03:57,980 --> 04:03:58,346
work at the direction of

7488
04:03:58,346 --> 04:04:00,346
the mayor.

7489
04:04:02,217 --> 04:04:02,951
We do not trust those council

7490
04:04:02,951 --> 04:04:06,388
members who go along with every

7491
04:04:06,388 --> 04:04:06,722
bad project and every up zoning

7492
04:04:06,722 --> 04:04:07,389
program.

7493
04:04:07,389 --> 04:04:10,759
The mayor can think of even

7494
04:04:10,759 --> 04:04:11,460
after the city has provided

7495
04:04:11,460 --> 04:04:12,930
enough allowable capacity for

7496
04:04:12,930 --> 04:04:14,493
hundreds of thousands more

7497
04:04:16,310 --> 04:04:16,632
units than the forecast calls

7498
04:04:16,632 --> 04:04:19,632
for relying on a housing

7499
04:04:20,602 --> 04:04:21,337
shortage for all decisions is

7500
04:04:21,337 --> 04:04:21,937
becoming more absurd as vacancy

7501
04:04:21,937 --> 04:04:24,337
rates climb and property

7502
04:04:25,974 --> 04:04:26,607
managers offer rent discounts.

7503
04:04:26,607 --> 04:04:27,276
The second reason why you

7504
04:04:27,276 --> 04:04:30,276
should uphold the appeal is

7505
04:04:30,679 --> 04:04:31,800
the discretion nature of

7506
04:04:31,800 --> 04:04:31,580
the project.

7507
04:04:31,580 --> 04:04:33,580
The conditions of

7508
04:04:34,849 --> 04:04:35,450
the development permits have

7509
04:04:35,450 --> 04:04:36,151
not been met.

7510
04:04:36,151 --> 04:04:36,585
The findings cannot reasonably

7511
04:04:36,585 --> 04:04:38,585
be supported.

7512
04:04:40,856 --> 04:04:41,290
This does not require your

7513
04:04:41,290 --> 04:04:41,957
legal expert.

7514
04:04:41,957 --> 04:04:42,391
It requires common sense and

7515
04:04:42,391 --> 04:04:44,391
good judgment.

7516
04:04:45,160 --> 04:04:45,861
For one, it's apparent

7517
04:04:45,861 --> 04:04:46,562
the community plan calls for a

7518
04:04:46,562 --> 04:04:48,831
large locked development in a

7519
04:04:48,831 --> 04:04:49,498
rural atmosphere covering

7520
04:04:49,498 --> 04:04:52,498
the entire hilltop with this

7521
04:04:53,402 --> 04:04:54,360
project and using the last

7522
04:04:54,360 --> 04:04:54,737
sizable open space is not

7523
04:04:54,737 --> 04:04:57,137
consistent with the community

7524
04:04:58,730 --> 04:04:58,840
plan.

7525
04:04:58,840 --> 04:04:59,441
So this appeal should be upheld

7526
04:04:59,441 --> 04:05:01,841
and the project denied.

7527
04:05:02,845 --> 04:05:03,445
This will allow an opportunity

7528
04:05:03,445 --> 04:05:04,146
for city officials and

7529
04:05:04,146 --> 04:05:07,146
the community to work together

7530
04:05:07,817 --> 04:05:08,517
with the applicant for a

7531
04:05:08,517 --> 04:05:09,510
project which meets the needs

7532
04:05:09,510 --> 04:05:09,485
of the applicant and

7533
04:05:09,485 --> 04:05:10,319
the community.

7534
04:05:10,319 --> 04:05:12,319
Thank you.

7535
04:05:15,858 --> 04:05:16,625
>> Thank you.

7536
04:05:16,625 --> 04:05:17,293
>> This does include all

7537
04:05:17,293 --> 04:05:18,270
organized presentations for

7538
04:05:18,270 --> 04:05:20,562
item 331 that were submitted to

7539
04:05:20,562 --> 04:05:21,363
the Office of the City Clerk.

7540
04:05:21,363 --> 04:05:21,830
Will now move on to in-person

7541
04:05:21,830 --> 04:05:23,830
public comment.

7542
04:05:24,600 --> 04:05:27,000
We currently have 30 speakers

7543
04:05:28,537 --> 04:05:29,238
with in-person and virtual so

7544
04:05:29,238 --> 04:05:31,638
20 in-person and ten virtual.

7545
04:05:33,842 --> 04:05:34,543
If Zach DeFazio o'Farrell can

04:05:34,543 --> 04:05:35,244

7547

Bruce Mabon.

7556

Erika Becerra.

7557

begin.

7566
04:06:10,146 --> 04:06:10,457
You'll have one minute.

7567
04:06:10,457 --> 04:06:10,846
Yup.

7568
04:06:10,846 --> 04:06:12,846
All right.

7569
04:06:15,518 --> 04:06:15,850
Good afternoon, council

7570
04:06:15,850 --> 04:06:16,585
members.

7571
04:06:16,585 --> 04:06:17,186
My name is Zach DeFazio Farrell

7572
04:06:17,186 --> 04:06:20,186
and I'm the treasurer of

7573
04:06:20,223 --> 04:06:20,556
the Democrats of San Diego

7574
04:06:20,556 --> 04:06:21,257
County.

7575
04:06:21,257 --> 04:06:24,960
We urge you to deny the appeal

7576
04:06:24,960 --> 04:06:25,628
and approve Admiral Hill's

7577
04:06:25,628 --> 04:06:25,927
including his 13 affordable

7578
04:06:25,927 --> 04:06:26,562
homes.

7579
04:06:26,562 --> 04:06:28,962
First, the potential park

7580
04:06:30,332 --> 04:06:30,733
designation is aspirational and

7581
04:06:30,733 --> 04:06:31,367
not binding.

7582
04:06:31,367 --> 04:06:32,680
The Encanto community plan

7583
04:06:32,680 --> 04:06:34,468
itself states that identifying

7584
04:06:35,338 --> 04:06:36,500
a private property as a

7585
04:06:36,500 --> 04:06:36,706
potential park site does not

7586
04:06:36,706 --> 04:06:37,406
preclude permitted development

7587
04:06:37,406 --> 04:06:40,760
under the underlying land use

7588
04:06:40,760 --> 04:06:40,743
rezone.

7589
04:06:40,743 --> 04:06:41,409
The plan does not require

7590
04:06:41,409 --> 04:06:41,844
denial and expressly allows

7591
04:06:41,844 --> 04:06:43,844
this project.

7592
04:06:45,414 --> 04:06:45,715
Secondly, there is no park to

7593
04:06:45,715 --> 04:06:46,448
lose.

7594
04:06:46,448 --> 04:06:49,448
This parcel is privately owned.

7595
04:06:49,785 --> 04:06:50,452
The city never purchased it,

7596
04:06:50,452 --> 04:06:51,200
never funded it and never

7597
04:06:51,200 --> 04:06:51,687
offered to acquire it.

7598
04:06:51,687 --> 04:06:54,290
Denying these homes does not

7599
04:06:54,290 --> 04:06:54,957
produce a park.

7600
04:06:54,957 --> 04:06:57,957
It only produces no homes.

7601
04:06:58,628 --> 04:06:59,327
San Diego desperately needs

7602
04:06:59,327 --> 04:06:59,662
housing, especially affordable

7603
04:06:59,662 --> 04:07:00,296
housing.

7604
04:07:00,296 --> 04:07:03,296
Please deny the appeal and

7605
04:07:04,267 --> 04:07:04,767
approve Emerald Hills.

7606
04:07:04,767 --> 04:07:05,134
>> Thank you.

7607
04:07:05,134 --> 04:07:06,200
Allegedly.

7608
04:07:06,200 --> 04:07:09,602
Audrey, if you can please come

7609
04:07:13,242 --> 04:07:14,377
forward.

7610
04:07:14,377 --> 04:07:18,281
>> I need to call a point of

7611
04:07:18,281 --> 04:07:18,781
order because this hasn't been

7612
04:07:18,781 --> 04:07:19,515
properly noticed.

7613
04:07:19,515 --> 04:07:22,952
Like the item that you guys did

7614
04:07:22,952 --> 04:07:23,286
yesterday with the Southwest

7615
04:07:23,286 --> 04:07:24,200
Village.

7616
04:07:24,200 --> 04:07:27,200
You can't continue when these

7617
04:07:28,358 --> 04:07:28,991
are not properly notice to

7618
04:07:28,991 --> 04:07:29,625
the public because you're

7619
04:07:29,625 --> 04:07:30,260
circumventing the will of

7620
04:07:30,260 --> 04:07:32,260
the people.

7621
04:07:32,895 --> 04:07:33,663
When you don't do that and so

7622
04:07:33,663 --> 04:07:36,663
you cannot continue legally by

7623
04:07:37,367 --> 04:07:37,966
even accepting the appeal or

7624
04:07:37,966 --> 04:07:40,966
not you have to properly

7625
04:07:42,380 --> 04:07:42,739
notices So you're

7626
04:07:42,739 --> 04:07:45,139
disenfranchizing all of these

7627
04:07:47,343 --> 04:07:48,311
people by not following the law

7628
04:07:48,311 --> 04:07:48,912
as far as what you need to do

7629
04:07:48,912 --> 04:07:49,245
to bring these projects

7630
04:07:49,245 --> 04:07:51,245
forward.

7631
04:07:52,148 --> 04:07:52,916
So it's very concerning that

7632
04:07:52,916 --> 04:07:57,116
you guys keep doing this and it

7633
04:07:57,353 --> 04:07:58,540
seems like obviously if it's

7634
04:07:58,540 --> 04:07:58,754
not something that people want

7635
04:07:58,754 --> 04:07:59,455
then you don't properly notice

7636
04:07:59,455 --> 04:08:02,792
it so that they don't have an

7637
04:08:02,792 --> 04:08:03,560
opportunity to come in and make

7638
04:08:03,560 --> 04:08:06,560
sure that things are done

7639
04:08:07,430 --> 04:08:08,298
legally.

7640
04:08:08,298 --> 04:08:09,650
>> I hear your point of order.

7641
04:08:09,650 --> 04:08:12,650
The allegations are it wasn't

7642
04:08:12,202 --> 04:08:12,968
properly noticed.

7643
04:08:12,968 --> 04:08:13,470
The city believes that it was

7644
04:08:13,470 --> 04:08:15,470
properly noticed.

7645
04:08:16,473 --> 04:08:17,240
There are other avenues for

7646
04:08:17,240 --> 04:08:17,874
people to pursue but there is

7647
04:08:17,874 --> 04:08:18,374
every evidence that it was

7648
04:08:18,374 --> 04:08:20,374
properly noticed.

7649
04:08:22,412 --> 04:08:22,712
So we'll give you your minute

7650
04:08:22,712 --> 04:08:23,790
back.

7651
04:08:23,790 --> 04:08:25,790
Thank you.

7652
04:08:25,648 --> 04:08:26,349
The project It's unfortunate

7653
04:08:26,349 --> 04:08:27,117
that you know, people like

7654
04:08:27,117 --> 04:08:30,117
Monica and Henry will be

7655
04:08:30,720 --> 04:08:31,421
sitting here and using

7656
04:08:31,421 --> 04:08:32,880
the black and brown community

7657
04:08:32,880 --> 04:08:35,880
acting like you really care

7658
04:08:35,491 --> 04:08:36,192
about them when you actually

7659
04:08:36,192 --> 04:08:39,192
gaslight them in your pursuit

7660
04:08:40,729 --> 04:08:41,564
to bring forward a project.

7661
04:08:41,564 --> 04:08:42,365
So I would suggest that you

7662
04:08:42,365 --> 04:08:45,935
quit doing that to your own

7663
04:08:45,935 --> 04:08:46,670
community because it is a

7664
04:08:46,670 --> 04:08:50,400
disservice to them And it's sad

7665
04:08:50,400 --> 04:08:50,707
because it's like if you guys

7666
04:08:50,707 --> 04:08:51,441
cannot comply with properly

7667
04:08:51,441 --> 04:08:55,378
noticing things I mean I had to

7668
04:08:55,378 --> 04:08:56,790
hold you guys accountable for

7669
04:08:56,790 --> 04:08:56,479
having it being a quorum and

7670
04:08:56,479 --> 04:08:58,479
now you do.

7671
04:08:58,915 --> 04:08:59,616
But I was almost arrested three

7672
04:08:59,616 --> 04:08:59,983
times for bringing that point

7673
04:08:59,983 --> 04:09:01,983
of order.

7674
04:09:04,154 --> 04:09:04,821
So you guys need to respect

7675
04:09:04,821 --> 04:09:08,258
the people that come in here

7676
04:09:08,258 --> 04:09:08,825
and this is their community.

7677
04:09:08,825 --> 04:09:09,526
They have said no.

7678
04:09:09,526 --> 04:09:12,526
You have developers that come

7679
04:09:12,896 --> 04:09:13,629
in and people who are supposed

7680
04:09:13,629 --> 04:09:16,290
to represent these communities

7681
04:09:18,401 --> 04:09:19,202
and you guys are basically not

7682
04:09:19,202 --> 04:09:19,536
giving a about what they have

7683
04:09:19,536 --> 04:09:20,270
to say.

7684
04:09:20,270 --> 04:09:21,104
You're not doing it legally And

7685
04:09:21,104 --> 04:09:23,874
so I suggest that you guys take

7686
04:09:23,874 --> 04:09:24,574
proper legal action to not even

7687
04:09:24,574 --> 04:09:25,876
allow any of this to continue.

7688
04:09:25,876 --> 04:09:28,276
>> Your time has concluded.

7689
04:09:36,286 --> 04:09:38,286
>> Mohammed Omar.

7690
04:09:41,191 --> 04:09:41,958
>> Hi, my name is Mohammed Omar

7691
04:09:41,958 --> 04:09:42,691
and I'm speaking on behalf of

7692
04:09:42,691 --> 04:09:43,393
Partnership for the Advancement

7693
04:09:43,393 --> 04:09:45,996
of New Americans, a member of

7694
04:09:45,996 --> 04:09:46,630
the coalition for Equitable

7695
04:09:46,630 --> 04:09:47,263
Development in support of

7696
04:09:47,263 --> 04:09:49,663
the Emerald Hills Housing

7697
04:09:51,680 --> 04:09:51,701
Project San Diego cannot solve

7698
04:09:51,701 --> 04:09:52,335
its housing crisis without

7699
04:09:52,335 --> 04:09:55,335
building more homes and we

7700
04:09:55,672 --> 04:09:56,339
believe this project represents

7701
04:09:56,339 --> 04:09:56,972
an opportunity to add much

7702
04:09:56,972 --> 04:09:57,307
needed housing to our city

7703
04:09:57,307 --> 04:09:59,307
supply.

7704
04:10:01,211 --> 04:10:01,778
This project also adds

7705
04:10:01,778 --> 04:10:02,446
infrastructure street

7706
04:10:02,446 --> 04:10:02,779
streetlights and storm water

7707
04:10:02,779 --> 04:10:04,779
basins.

7708
04:10:05,315 --> 04:10:05,915
We appreciate that the project

7709
04:10:05,915 --> 04:10:06,616
includes deed restricted

7710
04:10:06,616 --> 04:10:09,616
affordable homes which are an

7711
04:10:10,520 --> 04:10:11,221
important part of ensuring that

7712
04:10:11,221 --> 04:10:11,755
the new development benefits a

7713
04:10:11,755 --> 04:10:14,155
range of San Diego.

7714
04:10:14,825 --> 04:10:15,559
This is also adjacent to

7715
04:10:15,559 --> 04:10:19,159
Emerald Hills Park and a school

7716
04:10:19,562 --> 04:10:20,363
which has a potential joint use

7717
04:10:20,363 --> 04:10:21,970
space to double as a park.

7718
04:10:21,970 --> 04:10:24,680
At this time we strongly

7719
04:10:24,680 --> 04:10:24,701
encourage city and

7720
04:10:24,701 --> 04:10:25,680
the developer to continue

7721
04:10:25,680 --> 04:10:25,736
exploring.

7722
04:10:25,736 --> 04:10:29,390
At the same time we strongly

7723
04:10:29,390 --> 04:10:29,673
encourage the city and

7724
04:10:29,673 --> 04:10:30,307
the developer to continue

7725
04:10:30,307 --> 04:10:30,907
exploring opportunities to

7726
04:10:30,907 --> 04:10:32,907
strengthen their project

7727
04:10:34,711 --> 04:10:35,511
Affordable City.

7728
04:10:35,511 --> 04:10:36,212
While we while we understand

7729
04:10:36,212 --> 04:10:39,212
today's hearing is focused on

7730
04:10:39,483 --> 04:10:39,950
the appeal before the Council.

7731
04:10:39,950 --> 04:10:40,651
>> Thank you.

7732
04:10:40,651 --> 04:10:40,984
Thank you for those comments

7733
04:10:40,984 --> 04:10:42,984
Jessie.

7734
04:10:48,826 --> 04:10:49,460
Many.

7735
04:10:49,460 --> 04:10:50,127
>> Good afternoon Council

7736
04:10:50,127 --> 04:10:50,828
PRESIDENT Council Members My

7737
04:10:50,828 --> 04:10:53,430
name is Jesse Schmidt and I'm

7738
04:10:53,430 --> 04:10:54,980
speaking on behalf of

7739
04:10:54,980 --> 04:10:54,798
the Coalition for Equitable

7740
04:10:54,798 --> 04:10:57,198
Development today a coalition

7741
04:10:58,335 --> 04:10:59,360
that represents nearly 20

7742
04:10:59,360 --> 04:10:59,470
organizations across the city

7743
04:10:59,470 --> 04:11:01,470
of San Diego.

7744
04:11:02,640 --> 04:11:03,730
St Let's let's tether this

7745
04:11:03,730 --> 04:11:03,741
conversation.

7746
04:11:03,741 --> 04:11:04,341
>> In fact, San Diego cannot

7747
04:11:04,341 --> 04:11:06,741
solve its housing crisis

7748
04:11:06,977 --> 04:11:07,644
without building more homes And

7749
04:11:07,644 --> 04:11:10,644
we believe that this project

7750
04:11:11,915 --> 04:11:12,716
represents a rich opportunity

7751
04:11:12,716 --> 04:11:13,350
to add much needed housing to

7752
04:11:13,350 --> 04:11:15,750
our city's lacking supply.

7753
04:11:17,530 --> 04:11:17,755
This project also adds

7754
04:11:17,755 --> 04:11:18,389
infrastructure, street lights

7755
04:11:18,389 --> 04:11:18,989
and stormwater basins all

7756
04:11:18,989 --> 04:11:21,389
issues that we've heard

7757
04:11:22,459 --> 04:11:23,160
the community asking for today.

7758
04:11:23,160 --> 04:11:23,760
We appreciate that the project

7759
04:11:23,760 --> 04:11:24,395
includes deed restricted

7760
04:11:24,395 --> 04:11:26,795
affordable homes which are

7761
04:11:27,431 --> 04:11:28,132
absolutely an important part of

7762
04:11:28,132 --> 04:11:28,499
ensuring that new development

7763
04:11:28,499 --> 04:11:30,499
benefits.

7764
04:11:32,136 --> 04:11:32,770
A range of San Diegans At

7765
04:11:32,770 --> 04:11:33,337
the same time we strongly

7766
04:11:33,337 --> 04:11:34,710
encourage the city and

7767
04:11:34,710 --> 04:11:36,471
developer to continue exploring

7768
04:11:37,241 --> 04:11:37,908
opportunities to strengthen

7769
04:11:37,908 --> 04:11:38,542
the project's affordability.

7770
04:11:38,542 --> 04:11:39,109
What we understand today's

7771
04:11:39,109 --> 04:11:41,509
hearing is focused on

7772
04:11:42,246 --> 04:11:43,113
the appeal before Council.

7773
04:11:43,113 --> 04:11:43,747
We hope that this project can

7774
04:11:43,747 --> 04:11:44,415
serve as an example of how

7775
04:11:44,415 --> 04:11:46,649
market rate development can

7776
04:11:46,649 --> 04:11:47,284
also contribute more

7777
04:11:47,284 --> 04:11:47,918
meaningfully to our city's

7778
04:11:47,918 --> 04:11:48,352
affordable housing goals.

7779
04:11:48,352 --> 04:11:50,352
>> Thank you.

7780
04:12:01,866 --> 04:12:02,500
Manny Rodriguez You know good

7781
04:12:02,500 --> 04:12:03,000
afternoon council members.

7782
04:12:03,000 --> 04:12:05,400
My name is Manny.

7783
04:12:05,936 --> 04:12:06,737
I lead at the nimby Democrats

7784
04:12:06,737 --> 04:12:07,471
of San Diego County and as

7785
04:12:07,471 --> 04:12:09,871
the progressive advocate before

7786
04:12:10,373 --> 04:12:11,108
me had mentioned the city

7787
04:12:11,108 --> 04:12:11,776
cannot solve its housing crisis

7788
04:12:11,776 --> 04:12:14,176
without building more homes.

7789
04:12:15,412 --> 04:12:16,180
I won't belabor that point but

7790
04:12:16,180 --> 04:12:16,880
I will share that I looked at

7791
04:12:16,880 --> 04:12:19,880
the us Census Bureau's website

7792
04:12:20,170 --> 04:12:20,784
and I thought that it said

7793
04:12:20,784 --> 04:12:23,184
approximately half of adults

7794
04:12:24,655 --> 04:12:25,356
aged 18 to 34 in this zip code

7795
04:12:25,356 --> 04:12:25,889
still live with their parents.

7796
04:12:25,889 --> 04:12:28,289
I'm from the county.

7797
04:12:28,692 --> 04:12:29,327
Most of the friends I grew up

7798
04:12:29,327 --> 04:12:29,994
with still live with their

7799
04:12:29,994 --> 04:12:30,293
parents or they moved out of

7800
04:12:30,293 --> 04:12:32,293
state.

7801
04:12:33,464 --> 04:12:34,980
These homes provide a great

7802
04:12:34,980 --> 04:12:34,699
opportunity for people in

7803
04:12:34,699 --> 04:12:35,399
the community, people in

7804
04:12:35,399 --> 04:12:38,569
the city to move in and build

7805
04:12:38,569 --> 04:12:39,269
that homeownership and build

7806
04:12:39,269 --> 04:12:39,970
those roots in their community

7807
04:12:39,970 --> 04:12:43,240
and to, you know, move out of

7808
04:12:43,240 --> 04:12:43,841
their parents home which is a

7809
04:12:43,841 --> 04:12:44,441
lot of people my age

7810
04:12:44,441 --> 04:12:45,276
desperately want to do.

7811
04:12:45,276 --> 04:12:47,545
So I urge you to approve these

7812
04:12:47,545 --> 04:12:49,945
homes to approve new

7813
04:12:51,515 --> 04:12:52,490
opportunities for people 18 to

7814
04:12:52,490 --> 04:12:52,783
34 to have their own

7815
04:12:52,783 --> 04:12:53,450
homeownership, a place to build

7816
04:12:53,450 --> 04:12:53,784
wealth and a place to grow a

7817
04:12:53,784 --> 04:12:55,586
family.

7818
04:12:55,586 --> 04:12:58,586
Thank you very much, Bruce

7819
04:13:04,495 --> 04:13:05,196
Mayberry, Bruce Mayberry going

7820
04:13:05,196 --> 04:13:08,196

7822
04:13:17,341 --> 04:13:17,842
Eric you can come up.

7823
04:13:17,842 --> 04:13:18,776
>> Hello guys.

7824
04:13:18,776 --> 04:13:22,380
First of all I want to thank

7825
04:13:22,380 --> 04:13:23,800
all my neighbors here,

7826
04:13:23,800 --> 04:13:23,614
especially the neighbors with

7827
04:13:23,614 --> 04:13:26,140
all the young kids.

7828
04:13:26,517 --> 04:13:27,285
It is extremely hard for us to

7829
04:13:27,285 --> 04:13:30,885
take time off and be here.

7830
04:13:31,522 --> 04:13:32,257
So thank you guys.

7831
04:13:32,257 --> 04:13:35,857
Now this footnote seven How did

7832
04:13:36,327 --> 04:13:36,728
the developer know before we

7833
04:13:36,728 --> 04:13:38,728
knew right?

7834
04:13:40,898 --> 04:13:41,598
How did they know Remember

7835
04:13:41,598 --> 04:13:44,598
guys, was this something that

7836
04:13:45,903 --> 04:13:46,437
was put in there and we need to

7837
04:13:46,437 --> 04:13:48,837
hold the law right?

7838
04:13:50,742 --> 04:13:51,420
So how did they know what's

7839
04:13:51,420 --> 04:13:51,509
good?

7840
04:13:51,509 --> 04:13:52,209
What's going on?

7841
04:13:52,209 --> 04:13:55,460
Are you guys going to prove

7842
04:13:55,460 --> 04:13:55,747
something that later on when

7843
04:13:55,747 --> 04:13:56,514
the truth comes out it's going

7844
04:13:56,514 --> 04:13:56,848
to be like oh man, we made a

7845
04:13:56,848 --> 04:13:58,848
mistake.

7846
04:13:59,817 --> 04:14:00,184
Is that what's going to happen

7847
04:14:00,184 --> 04:14:00,985
right now?

7848
04:14:00,985 --> 04:14:03,985
You guys You guys have

7849
04:14:04,656 --> 04:14:04,956
the power to make San Diego

7850
04:14:04,956 --> 04:14:05,423
great.

7851
04:14:05,423 --> 04:14:07,423
Make it better.

7852
04:14:09,660 --> 04:14:13,260
You know, just imagine back in

7853
04:14:14,499 --> 04:14:15,166
the days what if what if they

7854
04:14:15,166 --> 04:14:15,967
voted to bow down by

7855
04:14:15,967 --> 04:14:18,336
the ballpark and put home their

7856
04:14:18,336 --> 04:14:20,336
right.

7857
04:14:23,407 --> 04:14:26,407
>> Earlier Sage Oh thank you.

to the front row.

7868
04:14:47,398 --> 04:14:47,931
Eric Lor Maximilian Schmidt

7869
04:14:47,931 --> 04:14:48,333
Alan Conrad Patricia

7870
04:14:48,333 --> 04:14:50,333
Montgomery.

7871
04:14:53,438 --> 04:14:54,205
Ellen Walsh DR. Ethel Sims and

7872
04:14:54,205 --> 04:14:57,509

Yes.

7876
04:14:58,876 --> 04:15:00,876
Good afternoon.

7877
04:15:01,612 --> 04:15:02,447
Council members.

7878
04:15:02,447 --> 04:15:03,130
I'm a plaintiff in the Baker

7879
04:15:03,130 --> 04:15:05,130
settlement opposed to

7880
04:15:06,850 --> 04:15:07,319
concentrated poverty in low

7881
04:15:07,319 --> 04:15:09,319
resource areas.

7882
04:15:11,589 --> 04:15:12,290
Remedies focus on rebuilding

7883
04:15:12,290 --> 04:15:12,890
infrastructure, housing equity

7884
04:15:12,890 --> 04:15:14,890
and neighborhood wealth.

7885
04:15:16,928 --> 04:15:17,829
I read the city on this side

7886
04:15:17,829 --> 04:15:20,829
for 20 years then sold that

7887
04:15:21,660 --> 04:15:21,633
decades ago as surplus property

7888
04:15:21,633 --> 04:15:24,330
to meet budget needs.

7889
04:15:25,870 --> 04:15:26,538
It was a paper park that dph

7890
04:15:26,538 --> 04:15:29,538
would fund in future years.

7891
04:15:30,408 --> 04:15:31,760
These fees didn't accrue

7892
04:15:31,760 --> 04:15:34,760
because of lack of balanced

7893
04:15:34,880 --> 04:15:35,680
income Housing couldn't sustain

7894
04:15:35,680 --> 04:15:39,280
an economic hub and tax base

7895
04:15:40,218 --> 04:15:40,857
choice Valley is owed this

7896
04:15:40,857 --> 04:15:41,153
scarce land for the public

7897
04:15:41,153 --> 04:15:43,153
good.

7898
04:15:44,956 --> 04:15:45,657
Consider a park bonfire

7899
04:15:45,657 --> 04:15:46,358
financed by the city different

7900
04:15:46,358 --> 04:15:49,358
Unlike other resource areas we

7901
04:15:50,128 --> 04:15:50,762
were denied the opportunity to

7902
04:15:50,762 --> 04:15:51,396
generate this revenue over

7903
04:15:51,396 --> 04:15:54,396
decades to pay for our

7904
04:15:55,767 --> 04:15:56,468
infrastructure this year Please

7905
04:15:56,468 --> 04:15:59,771
support the appeal to invest a

7906
04:15:59,771 --> 04:16:00,238
new in Choice Valley.

7907
04:16:00,238 --> 04:16:02,238
>> Thank you.

7908
04:16:04,676 --> 04:16:05,177
Thank you Eric Long.

7909
04:16:05,177 --> 04:16:07,177
>> Good afternoon.

7910
04:16:10,148 --> 04:16:10,816
Council members Eric Lau from

7911
04:16:10,816 --> 04:16:13,216
San Diego United Communities

7912
04:16:14,886 --> 04:16:18,486
here in support of the appeal

7913
04:16:19,691 --> 04:16:20,658
that's the bottom line.

7914
04:16:20,658 --> 04:16:24,258
What we're here to support is

7915
04:16:25,464 --> 04:16:26,264
writing the injustices that

7916
04:16:26,264 --> 04:16:29,864
have gone on for this century

7917
04:16:30,334 --> 04:16:31,103
of shame.

7918
04:16:31,103 --> 04:16:31,803
This community of concern lies

7919
04:16:31,803 --> 04:16:34,203
behind the traditional red

7920
04:16:34,907 --> 04:16:35,573
lines.

7921
04:16:35,573 --> 04:16:35,941
They have a shortage of

7922
04:16:35,941 --> 04:16:36,775
resources.

7923
04:16:36,775 --> 04:16:39,878
We know that they have a

7924
04:16:39,878 --> 04:16:40,611
shortage of resources.

7925
04:16:40,611 --> 04:16:44,211
The park is a resource They're

7926
04:16:44,516 --> 04:16:44,950
supposed to get prioritized

7927
04:16:44,950 --> 04:16:45,484
diff funds.

7928
04:16:45,484 --> 04:16:46,217
That's why the mayor

7929
04:16:46,217 --> 04:16:49,217
consolidated dip funds so they

7930
04:16:49,354 --> 04:16:52,354
could fund parks especially in

7931
04:16:53,691 --> 04:16:54,393
the communities of concern and

7932
04:16:54,393 --> 04:16:54,793
yet we're seeing the opposite

7933
04:16:54,793 --> 04:16:56,793
occur here.

7934
04:16:59,431 --> 04:16:59,931
We're seeing gentrification for

7935
04:16:59,931 --> 04:17:01,931
displacement here.

7936
04:17:04,636 --> 04:17:07,636
This community he was promised

7937
04:17:08,540 --> 04:17:09,410
in 2015 a park on the Hill It's

7938
04:17:09,410 --> 04:17:09,775
a beautiful hill.

7939
04:17:09,775 --> 04:17:10,109
If you haven't been there go

7940
04:17:10,109 --> 04:17:12,109
see it.

7941
04:17:13,112 --> 04:17:13,879
Thank you for that statement.

7942
04:17:13,879 --> 04:17:15,879
Maximilian Schmidt Maximilian

7943
04:17:18,684 --> 04:17:20,953
Schmidt I don't see him here.

7944
04:17:20,953 --> 04:17:24,553
Alan Conrad if you can please

7945
04:17:26,125 --> 04:17:26,892
come forward.

7946
04:17:26,892 --> 04:17:29,892
>> I'm here in support of

7947
04:17:30,696 --> 04:17:31,397
the appeal and I also want to

7948
04:17:31,397 --> 04:17:31,964
just bring a little clarity

7949
04:17:31,964 --> 04:17:33,964
about accountability.

7950
04:17:36,135 --> 04:17:36,902
The people guys get to talk

7951
04:17:36,902 --> 04:17:39,902
about Footnote seven was more

7952
04:17:40,305 --> 04:17:43,905
than just not best practices It

7953
04:17:45,210 --> 04:17:45,978
was illegally placed there by

7954
04:17:45,978 --> 04:17:49,578
some of you and some of

7955
04:17:50,449 --> 04:17:51,150
the lady that was here was a

7956
04:17:51,150 --> 04:17:54,150
conspirator of this and those

7957
04:17:55,870 --> 04:17:55,787
should have consequences.

7958
04:17:55,787 --> 04:17:58,787
Those illegal acts should have

7959
04:17:59,570 --> 04:17:59,757
consequences and the natural

7960
04:17:59,757 --> 04:18:02,157
consequence of these illegal

7961
04:18:04,290 --> 04:18:04,663
insertions of code is that

7962
04:18:04,663 --> 04:18:05,397
the things that are passed

7963
04:18:05,397 --> 04:18:08,997
under that code should not be

7964
04:18:09,535 --> 04:18:11,535
allowed to continue.

7965
04:18:14,440 --> 04:18:16,440
>> It's really simple.

7966
04:18:17,342 --> 04:18:19,342
>> Patricia Montgomery Patricia

7967
04:18:22,548 --> 04:18:23,414
Montgomery are you here?

7968
04:18:23,414 --> 04:18:27,140
>> I am here I am Patricia

7969
04:18:27,652 --> 04:18:28,354
Montgomery and I am here in

7970
04:18:28,354 --> 04:18:31,354
support of the project because

7971
04:18:32,425 --> 04:18:36,562
I live in the community and I

7972
04:18:36,562 --> 04:18:37,529
like to see growth.

7973
04:18:37,529 --> 04:18:41,129
I'm 70 years old and over that

7974
04:18:41,768 --> 04:18:42,368
period of time change comes.

7975
04:18:42,368 --> 04:18:44,768
It's come to me.

7976
04:18:46,971 --> 04:18:47,640
Things change and I'm hoping

7977
04:18:47,640 --> 04:18:48,400
that things will change for

7978
04:18:48,400 --> 04:18:50,400
the better.

7979
04:18:51,444 --> 04:18:54,444
>> I'm hoping that people in

7980
04:18:55,881 --> 04:18:56,549
the community will have

7981
04:18:56,549 --> 04:18:59,549
the opportunity to not just

7982
04:19:01,120 --> 04:19:01,754
live in an apartment or a

7983
04:19:01,754 --> 04:19:04,154
rented property but that's

7984
04:19:05,691 --> 04:19:06,392
owned by someone else but be

7985
04:19:06,392 --> 04:19:06,758
able to go and purchase their

7986
04:19:06,758 --> 04:19:08,758
own home.

7987
04:19:10,829 --> 04:19:13,829
>> Single family home We mean

7988
04:19:15,533 --> 04:19:15,935
single family development and

7989
04:19:15,935 --> 04:19:16,635
our area.

7990
04:19:16,635 --> 04:19:17,369
It's nothing wrong with that.

7991
04:19:17,369 --> 04:19:19,769
And Monica Montgomery Step

7992
04:19:20,640 --> 04:19:23,400
loves the fourth District.

7993
04:19:25,945 --> 04:19:26,746
>> The whole fourth district.

7994
04:19:26,746 --> 04:19:27,447
>> She loves them all.

7995
04:19:27,447 --> 04:19:29,847
For that concluding statement

7996
04:19:31,550 --> 04:19:32,418
what is right for average eight

7997
04:19:32,418 --> 04:19:33,152
When your time comes for this I

7998
04:19:33,152 --> 04:19:35,654
need to be fair to everybody.

7999
04:19:35,654 --> 04:19:36,188

Yes.

Now you can speak.

8010
04:19:59,811 --> 04:20:00,513
Hi, I'm Ellen Nash.

8011
04:20:00,513 --> 04:20:03,513
I'm a lifetime resident of

8012
04:20:03,983 --> 04:20:04,850
southeast San Diego.

8013
04:20:04,850 --> 04:20:05,718
Also my family home where I was

8014
04:20:05,718 --> 04:20:08,287
born and raised is enjoy this

8015
04:20:08,287 --> 04:20:09,254
view.

8016
04:20:09,254 --> 04:20:09,822
I want to say that that I have

8017
04:20:09,822 --> 04:20:12,222
listened to all of

8018
04:20:13,159 --> 04:20:13,860
the wonderful presentations by

8019
04:20:13,860 --> 04:20:16,860
the residents of District four

8020
04:20:17,730 --> 04:20:18,431
particularly of Emerald Hills

8021
04:20:18,431 --> 04:20:19,198
which is one of the most

8022
04:20:19,198 --> 04:20:22,198
pristine areas that growing up

8023
04:20:23,436 --> 04:20:24,237
there enjoy this view that I

8024
04:20:24,237 --> 04:20:27,340
look to Emerald Hills as one of

8025
04:20:27,340 --> 04:20:27,807
the most beautiful areas that

8026
04:20:27,807 --> 04:20:28,507
we've ever seen.

8027
04:20:28,507 --> 04:20:32,107
We were always proud of that

8028
04:20:32,211 --> 04:20:32,912
area and I want I do support

8029
04:20:32,912 --> 04:20:35,312
proceeding with this project.

8030
04:20:36,950 --> 04:20:37,984
It is necessary.

8031
04:20:37,984 --> 04:20:41,688
I am a mother of three grown

8032
04:20:41,688 --> 04:20:42,455
children who cannot afford to

8033
04:20:42,455 --> 04:20:46,326
buy a house here in San Diego.

8034
04:20:46,326 --> 04:20:47,293
We need housing.

8035
04:20:47,293 --> 04:20:51,493
We I'm going to say that again

8036
04:20:52,131 --> 04:20:52,866
We need housing in San Diego.

8037
04:20:52,866 --> 04:20:55,866
We need housing in southeast

8038
04:20:56,469 --> 04:20:57,170
San Diego particularly for

8039
04:20:57,170 --> 04:21:00,170
those mothers like myself who

8040
04:21:02,509 --> 04:21:02,908
want my kids to stay in.

8041
04:21:02,908 --> 04:21:03,710
Thank you.

8042
04:21:03,710 --> 04:21:04,770
And I think we need housing for

8043
04:21:04,770 --> 04:21:04,610

8044
04:21:04,610 --> 04:21:04,978
Please support this.

8045
04:21:04,978 --> 04:21:06,579
Thank you.

8046
04:21:06,579 --> 04:21:07,313
I must be fair with the time.

8047
04:21:07,313 --> 04:21:10,913
DR. Ethel Sims, if you can

8048
04:21:11,184 --> 04:21:11,584

8056
04:21:23,897 --> 04:21:26,199
I've been here long enough.

right adjacent to the project

8060
04:21:30,636 --> 04:21:31,404
And I'm in it's been there 46

8061
04:21:31,404 --> 04:21:32,105
years In 1978 my mom back there

8062
04:21:32,105 --> 04:21:34,774
that was her first time owning

8063
04:21:34,774 --> 04:21:35,609
a brand new home.

8064
04:21:35,609 --> 04:21:35,909
We need brand new homes in San

8065
04:21:35,909 --> 04:21:36,509
Diego.

8066
04:21:36,509 --> 04:21:39,509
It is going to actually

8067
04:21:39,846 --> 04:21:40,513
increase and in in upgrade

8068
04:21:40,513 --> 04:21:41,248
the community it's going to

8069
04:21:41,248 --> 04:21:44,250
bring us housing So as a broker

8070
04:21:44,250 --> 04:21:45,180
and a real estate and actually

8071
04:21:45,180 --> 04:21:45,719
as a mother I also want to

8072
04:21:45,719 --> 04:21:46,319
actually be able to see my

8073
04:21:46,319 --> 04:21:48,319
children, my children's

8074
04:21:49,356 --> 04:21:50,230
children be able to come to

8075
04:21:50,230 --> 04:21:50,757
the community which has such

8076
04:21:50,757 --> 04:21:53,757
diversity and rich history like

8077
04:21:54,127 --> 04:21:54,828
Amber Hills 123 new homes and

8078
04:21:54,828 --> 04:21:58,428
of trying to work together to

8079
04:21:59,165 --> 04:21:59,866
make lemonade out of the out of

8080
04:21:59,866 --> 04:22:00,267
the footnote seven is a great

8081
04:22:00,267 --> 04:22:02,267
opportunity.

8082
04:22:03,670 --> 04:22:04,337
We now have a chance to

8083
04:22:04,337 --> 04:22:04,938
increase the things that we

8084
04:22:04,938 --> 04:22:05,705
need in this community.

8085
04:22:05,705 --> 04:22:08,541
So we're going to start with a

8086
04:22:08,541 --> 04:22:09,142
coalition that's going to

8087
04:22:09,142 --> 04:22:09,843
actually talk about why

8088
04:22:09,843 --> 04:22:10,410
the housing not only bring in

8089
04:22:10,410 --> 04:22:12,810
housing but why brings

8090
04:22:14,481 --> 04:22:15,147
community benefits and

8091
04:22:15,147 --> 04:22:15,849
beautification to this area.

8092
04:22:15,849 --> 04:22:16,550
We're not going to be erased.

8093
04:22:16,550 --> 04:22:19,550
Thank you for the upgrade.

8094
04:22:21,388 --> 04:22:23,388
Thank you, Ozzie.

8095
04:22:26,193 --> 04:22:26,892
We support housing so

8096
04:22:26,892 --> 04:22:29,892
the previous speakers were in

8097
04:22:32,431 --> 04:22:32,899
the right place.

8098
04:22:32,899 --> 04:22:33,667
Good afternoon.

8099
04:22:33,667 --> 04:22:34,368
When I start this my name is

8100
04:22:34,368 --> 04:22:35,769
Housing Ministers and I'm here

8101
04:22:35,769 --> 04:22:36,169
with our community to support

8102
04:22:36,169 --> 04:22:36,904
this appeal.

8103
04:22:36,904 --> 04:22:39,339
The hilltop has been designated

8104
04:22:39,339 --> 04:22:41,739
for public parks since 2015.

8105
04:22:43,176 --> 04:22:43,877
Southeastern San Diego has 64%

8106
04:22:43,877 --> 04:22:44,378
less park space than wealthier

8107
04:22:44,378 --> 04:22:46,778
parts of the city.

8108
04:22:48,315 --> 04:22:49,490
That is not a coincidence.

8109
04:22:49,490 --> 04:22:49,717
It is the result of repeated

8110
04:22:49,717 --> 04:22:52,117
decisions Today this Council

8111
04:22:53,187 --> 04:22:53,587
has the opportunity to make a

8112
04:22:53,587 --> 04:22:54,388
difference.

8113
04:22:54,388 --> 04:22:57,924
This boat is bigger than one

8114
04:22:57,924 --> 04:22:58,592
hilltop in one neighborhood.

8115
04:22:58,592 --> 04:23:01,592
Every San Diego community is

8116
04:23:02,529 --> 04:23:03,263
watching how this council

8117
04:23:03,263 --> 04:23:06,263
treats its public green spaces.

8118
04:23:08,101 --> 04:23:08,734
Every resident wants to know

8119
04:23:08,734 --> 04:23:09,403
that when a community plan

8120
04:23:09,403 --> 04:23:12,403
designates land for a park,

8121
04:23:12,406 --> 04:23:13,273
that promise will be honored.

8122
04:23:13,273 --> 04:23:14,410
Today you have a chance to show

8123
04:23:14,410 --> 04:23:17,641
all of San Diego that this

8124
04:23:18,100 --> 04:23:18,712
council protects public land,

8125
04:23:18,712 --> 04:23:21,712
listens to communities and we

8126
04:23:21,815 --> 04:23:22,149
have alternate places for

8127
04:23:22,149 --> 04:23:22,749
housing.

8128
04:23:22,749 --> 04:23:23,651
>> We support housing.

8129
04:23:23,651 --> 04:23:27,251
I can't afford a house either

8130
04:23:27,787 --> 04:23:28,556
Make the right choices.

8131
04:23:28,556 --> 04:23:29,890
>> Thank you for that

8132
04:23:29,890 --> 04:23:31,890

8134
04:23:33,994 --> 04:23:38,194

04:23:44,710 --> 04:23:46,471
Please begin when ready.

8140
04:23:47,841 --> 04:23:48,442

8144
04:23:50,100 --> 04:23:52,410

the principle of democracy in

8149
04:23:59,153 --> 04:23:59,887
housing, advocating for

8150
04:23:59,887 --> 04:24:02,887
equitable access to housing and

8151
04:24:03,123 --> 04:24:03,856
expanding opportunities for

8152
04:24:03,856 --> 04:24:04,525
families to build stability and

8153
04:24:04,525 --> 04:24:04,959
generational wealth through

8154
04:24:04,959 --> 04:24:06,959
homeownership.

8155
04:24:08,429 --> 04:24:09,960
That is why I'm here today in

8156
04:24:09,960 --> 04:24:09,496
support of the animal health

8157
04:24:09,496 --> 04:24:10,197
development.

8158
04:24:10,197 --> 04:24:13,797
San Diego continues to face a

8159
04:24:14,680 --> 04:24:14,768
critical housing shortage and

8160
04:24:14,768 --> 04:24:15,369
increasing our housing supply

8161
04:24:15,369 --> 04:24:16,300
is an essential part of

8162
04:24:16,300 --> 04:24:18,300
addressing affordability.

8163
04:24:18,872 --> 04:24:19,572
This project helps move in

8164
04:24:19,572 --> 04:24:22,572
the right direction by adding

8165
04:24:23,911 --> 04:24:24,579
much needed homes including

8166
04:24:24,579 --> 04:24:25,179
affordable housing that will

8167
04:24:25,179 --> 04:24:25,880
create opportunities for

8168
04:24:25,880 --> 04:24:28,280
working families, seniors and

8169
04:24:29,216 --> 04:24:29,884
essential workers to remain in

8170
04:24:29,884 --> 04:24:30,618
the communities they serve.

8171
04:24:30,618 --> 04:24:33,618
The annual Hills development is

8172
04:24:34,922 --> 04:24:35,488
also an investment in

8173
04:24:35,488 --> 04:24:36,156
the broader community.

8174
04:24:36,156 --> 04:24:36,891
It includes improvements of

8175
04:24:36,891 --> 04:24:37,291
16th Street along the new parks

8176
04:24:37,291 --> 04:24:39,291
and trails.

8177
04:24:40,693 --> 04:24:41,328
It'll be open for public use.

8178
04:24:41,328 --> 04:24:43,328
These enhancements improve

8179
04:24:45,165 --> 04:24:45,866
connectivity, expand access to

8180
04:24:45,866 --> 04:24:46,500
recreational space and create

8181
04:24:46,500 --> 04:24:47,340
lasting benefits for both

8182
04:24:47,340 --> 04:24:47,601
current and future.

8183
04:24:47,601 --> 04:24:48,202
>> Thank you for that

8184
04:24:48,202 --> 04:24:50,202
Concluding remark Johnny

8185
04:24:55,476 --> 04:24:58,476
Leading John a leading reader

8186
04:24:59,460 --> 04:25:01,446
going to Jeffrey Shooter.

8187
04:25:04,318 --> 04:25:05,510
>> Thank you Council members.

8188
04:25:05,510 --> 04:25:05,652
You know it's disappointing

8189
04:25:05,652 --> 04:25:08,652
that we got here because

8190
04:25:09,456 --> 04:25:10,123
the city never really tried to

8191
04:25:10,123 --> 04:25:10,890
turn this into a park.

8192
04:25:10,890 --> 04:25:14,490
I mean it's literally the most

8193
04:25:14,762 --> 04:25:15,529
spectacular place in San Diego

8194
04:25:15,529 --> 04:25:16,330
on par with Soledad Mountain.

8195
04:25:16,330 --> 04:25:19,930
And if we were here discussing

8196
04:25:20,101 --> 04:25:20,801
whether to declare Soledad

8197
04:25:20,801 --> 04:25:21,502
mountain surplus land and turn

8198
04:25:21,502 --> 04:25:25,102
it into housing, we would you

8199
04:25:25,740 --> 04:25:26,440
know, we'd be outraged by that

8200
04:25:26,440 --> 04:25:27,141
And we should also be outraged

8201
04:25:27,141 --> 04:25:30,741
about this loss of a resource.

8202
04:25:30,845 --> 04:25:31,611
But given that we're here, what

8203
04:25:31,611 --> 04:25:34,849
this is really going to turn on

8204
04:25:34,849 --> 04:25:35,549
is whether or not Footnote

8205
04:25:35,549 --> 04:25:36,183
seven was legally adopted And

8206
04:25:36,183 --> 04:25:39,183
the question for the city

8207
04:25:40,955 --> 04:25:44,555
attorney is going to be in

8208
04:25:44,559 --> 04:25:45,293
effect as the footnote seven

8209
04:25:45,293 --> 04:25:45,927
only apply to the Choice Valley

8210
04:25:45,927 --> 04:25:47,927
Community Planning Group.

8211
04:25:51,666 --> 04:25:52,532
There are no rs one to what's

8212
04:25:52,532 --> 04:25:55,403
in South Eastern so it really

8213
04:25:55,403 --> 04:25:55,803
only applied to one community

8214
04:25:55,803 --> 04:25:56,504
plan update.

8215
04:25:56,504 --> 04:26:00,704
And if that's the case was it

8216
04:26:01,342 --> 04:26:01,976
legally adopted as opposed to

8217
04:26:01,976 --> 04:26:02,309
go into a community plan

8218
04:26:02,309 --> 04:26:02,743
Update.

8219
04:26:02,743 --> 04:26:03,577
>> Thank you.

8220
04:26:03,577 --> 04:26:05,977
DR. Cornell Cornwell Clark.

8221
04:26:09,517 --> 04:26:11,517
>> Apologies.

8222
04:26:15,623 --> 04:26:16,390
Hello, City Council.

8223
04:26:16,390 --> 04:26:19,270
I'm DR. Carmel Clark and I

8224
04:26:19,270 --> 04:26:19,694
respectfully ask that you

8225
04:26:19,694 --> 04:26:20,394
reject the footnote seven As

8226
04:26:20,394 --> 04:26:21,940
many of us it feels like less

8227
04:26:21,940 --> 04:26:23,494
responsible planning and more

8228
04:26:24,599 --> 04:26:25,132
like a land grab sold to

8229
04:26:25,132 --> 04:26:25,867
the highest bidder.

8230
04:26:25,867 --> 04:26:29,467
As a sociologist I can't ignore

8231
04:26:30,938 --> 04:26:31,606
the historic Eccles While

8232
04:26:31,606 --> 04:26:32,307
people were once bought and

8233
04:26:32,307 --> 04:26:35,307
sold in chattel slavery Today

8234
04:26:35,843 --> 04:26:36,544
it feels as though the land our

8235
04:26:36,544 --> 04:26:37,177
community have built is being

8236
04:26:37,177 --> 04:26:37,879
sold with little regard to

8237
04:26:37,879 --> 04:26:38,446
the people who have called it

8238
04:26:38,446 --> 04:26:40,446
home for generations.

8239
04:26:42,216 --> 04:26:42,917
My parents bought their home in

8240
04:26:42,917 --> 04:26:43,417
1975 and we still maintain and

8241
04:26:43,417 --> 04:26:45,417
own that property.

8242
04:26:47,821 --> 04:26:48,289
Communities are more than

8243
04:26:48,289 --> 04:26:49,230
property value.

8244
04:26:49,230 --> 04:26:51,423
They are history, relationships

8245
04:26:54,362 --> 04:26:55,129
and legacy.

8246
04:26:55,129 --> 04:26:55,797
Adding more than 100 homes is

8247
04:26:55,797 --> 04:26:56,640
not in the best interest for

8248
04:26:56,640 --> 04:26:56,764
imo.

8249
04:26:56,764 --> 04:26:59,700
Hills It will increase traffic

8250
04:26:59,700 --> 04:27:00,201
sustain our infrastructure and

8251
04:27:00,201 --> 04:27:00,902
permanently change

8252
04:27:00,902 --> 04:27:01,569
the character of the community

8253
04:27:01,569 --> 04:27:04,569
that families like mine have

8254
04:27:05,573 --> 04:27:06,273
invested in for decades.

8255
04:27:06,273 --> 04:27:06,941
This is environmental racism.

8256
04:27:06,941 --> 04:27:07,275
Please put our people before

8257
04:27:07,275 --> 04:27:09,275
profit.

8258
04:27:14,820 --> 04:27:14,715
Reject Footnote seven and

8259
04:27:14,715 --> 04:27:15,160
protect the legacy of imo

8260
04:27:15,160 --> 04:27:15,717
Hills.

8261
04:27:15,717 --> 04:27:16,351
>> I'm from the hills and I'm

8262
04:27:16,351 --> 04:27:17,418
standing on town business.

8263
04:27:17,418 --> 04:27:18,186
I'm DR. Joshua Clark.

8264
04:27:18,186 --> 04:27:18,853
>> Thank you for that

8265
04:27:18,853 --> 04:27:20,853
concluding comment Kimberly

8266
04:27:24,259 --> 04:27:24,726
Real's going there.

8267
04:27:24,726 --> 04:27:25,260
Hello everyone.

8268
04:27:25,260 --> 04:27:25,693
Okay.

8269
04:27:25,693 --> 04:27:28,563
I wasn't really intending to

8270
04:27:28,563 --> 04:27:29,431
speak today but after listening

8271
04:27:29,431 --> 04:27:29,764
to you MR. Boyd I can't help

8272
04:27:29,764 --> 04:27:31,764
myself.

8273
04:27:35,837 --> 04:27:36,538
Unfortunately I just had

8274
04:27:36,538 --> 04:27:37,172
cataract surgery on that thing

8275
04:27:37,172 --> 04:27:40,772
that well so bear with me.

8276
04:27:41,142 --> 04:27:41,609
Okay, so here's the thing I am

8277
04:27:41,609 --> 04:27:43,609
MR. Boyd Horton.

8278
04:27:47,140 --> 04:27:47,682
D.R. Horton began this project

8279
04:27:47,682 --> 04:27:48,116
in 1997 when they bought

8280
04:27:48,116 --> 04:27:50,116
the property.

8281
04:27:53,654 --> 04:27:53,992
Don't I have the paperwork?

8282
04:27:53,992 --> 04:27:54,789
Okay.

8283
04:27:54,789 --> 04:27:55,189
So that So don't And anything I

8284
04:27:55,189 --> 04:27:57,189
say up here.

8285
04:27:59,227 --> 04:28:00,195
I have my receipt.

8286
04:28:00,195 --> 04:28:00,795
I just want you to know that.

8287
04:28:00,795 --> 04:28:03,795
Okay, So here we go.

8288
04:28:06,533 --> 04:28:07,202
So and you you activated it.

8289
04:28:07,202 --> 04:28:07,869
I'm assuming that what you

8290
04:28:07,869 --> 04:28:08,574
waited to do is for council

8291
04:28:08,574 --> 04:28:11,272
because you could have got it

8292
04:28:11,272 --> 04:28:11,972
in through George Stevens.

8293
04:28:11,972 --> 04:28:12,641
So you're waiting for

8294
04:28:12,641 --> 04:28:13,341
representation that was more

8295
04:28:13,341 --> 04:28:15,741
more palatable, more palatable

8296
04:28:17,579 --> 04:28:18,313
to the idea of dense housing

8297
04:28:18,313 --> 04:28:18,880
and less commercial things that

8298
04:28:18,880 --> 04:28:21,280
might bring revenue to

8299
04:28:24,953 --> 04:28:25,653
the community.

8300
04:28:25,653 --> 04:28:26,321
>> But in any case.

8301
04:28:26,321 --> 04:28:29,321
So you know I'm done.

8302
04:28:30,158 --> 04:28:30,458
That is a minute.

8303
04:28:30,458 --> 04:28:30,859
Yes.

8304
04:28:30,859 --> 04:28:31,526
Well.

8305
04:28:31,526 --> 04:28:34,526

8306
04:28:38,200 --> 04:28:38,834

8307
04:28:38,834 --> 04:28:39,401

04:28:39,401 --> 04:28:39,768
The city clerk at San

8310
04:28:40,368 --> 04:28:41,770

Thank you.

8314
04:28:48,510 --> 04:28:48,910
And if anybody wants the baby I

8315
04:28:48,910 --> 04:28:50,910
got it here.

8316
04:28:53,515 --> 04:28:54,215
>> Our last speaker here and a

8317
04:28:54,215 --> 04:28:57,815

chambers and then we'll go to

those participating online.

8322
04:29:05,727 --> 04:29:06,228
>> I start I want my family up

you can come up here.

8326

>> Please note that we are not

8327
04:29:21,977 --> 04:29:22,744
organization.

comments.

8330
04:29:28,317 --> 04:29:28,984
Please begin.

8331
04:29:28,984 --> 04:29:29,617
>> We're talking about a

8332
04:29:29,617 --> 04:29:30,318
project with D.R. Horton.

8333
04:29:30,318 --> 04:29:33,318
Cities across the nation have

8334
04:29:34,890 --> 04:29:34,757
come to city council chambers.

8335
04:29:34,757 --> 04:29:35,457
Residents and city councils

8336
04:29:35,457 --> 04:29:38,457
across the nation have denied

8337
04:29:39,761 --> 04:29:40,395
D.R. Horton from building

8338
04:29:40,395 --> 04:29:41,129
because it's bad business.

8339
04:29:41,129 --> 04:29:44,729
D.R. Horton has lawsuits in

8340
04:29:45,634 --> 04:29:48,634
multiple states for both having

8341
04:29:51,673 --> 04:29:52,274
shoddy frickin shoddy off

8342
04:29:52,274 --> 04:29:52,974
construction right there

8343
04:29:52,974 --> 04:29:53,574
harming their residents After

8344
04:29:53,574 --> 04:29:55,974
they're living in there,

8345
04:29:57,980 --> 04:29:58,647
they're getting frickin sick

8346
04:29:58,647 --> 04:29:59,314
And then they're also saying

8347
04:29:59,314 --> 04:30:02,314
here, take this mortgage and

8348
04:30:03,685 --> 04:30:04,119
then not having proper

8349
04:30:04,119 --> 04:30:04,920
disclosure.

8350
04:30:04,920 --> 04:30:05,587
So when the people are having

8351
04:30:05,587 --> 04:30:08,587
to redo their mortgage after

8352
04:30:10,292 --> 04:30:10,926
their lending arm is done with

8353
04:30:10,926 --> 04:30:11,460
it, their frickin mortgage

8354
04:30:11,460 --> 04:30:12,127
rates go up $1,000.

8355
04:30:12,127 --> 04:30:14,527
You're talking about frickin

8356
04:30:15,731 --> 04:30:16,131
affordable housing That's not

8357
04:30:16,131 --> 04:30:16,832
affordable.

8358
04:30:16,832 --> 04:30:17,499
>> That's not what we need and

8359
04:30:17,499 --> 04:30:18,000
that's not going to help our

8360
04:30:18,000 --> 04:30:20,000
frickin community.

8361
04:30:21,360 --> 04:30:21,803
We need quality construction.

8362
04:30:21,803 --> 04:30:22,604
We need places where I can

8363
04:30:22,604 --> 04:30:26,204
gather my family over there for

8364
04:30:28,770 --> 04:30:28,811
a frickin birthday party for a

8365
04:30:28,811 --> 04:30:31,811
celebration about Thank you for

8366
04:30:34,216 --> 04:30:35,840
not taking advantage and not

8367
04:30:35,840 --> 04:30:35,751
that and I do need to be

8368
04:30:35,751 --> 04:30:38,751
consistent but thank you so

8369
04:30:39,655 --> 04:30:40,288
much for your comments.

8370
04:30:40,288 --> 04:30:40,890
That does conclude public

8371
04:30:40,890 --> 04:30:41,557
comment here in council

8372
04:30:41,557 --> 04:30:42,257
chambers I'm sorry the five

8373
04:30:42,257 --> 04:30:45,294
minute timer and I'm going to

8374
04:30:45,294 --> 04:30:46,940
those participating remotely.

8375
04:30:46,940 --> 04:30:46,528
We currently have 12 speakers

8376
04:30:46,528 --> 04:30:48,528
in the queue.

8377
04:30:48,998 --> 04:30:49,632
Okay I haven't started Please

8378
04:30:49,632 --> 04:30:52,632
come up to the podium.

8379
04:30:56,472 --> 04:30:57,720
>> I'll take your speakers up

8380
04:30:57,720 --> 04:30:59,472
Please be on high.

8381
04:31:01,944 --> 04:31:02,577
>> I think we should all

8382
04:31:02,577 --> 04:31:03,178
consider that if something

8383
04:31:03,178 --> 04:31:05,578
starts and ethically it

8384
04:31:08,884 --> 04:31:09,617
shouldn't be because you

8385
04:31:09,617 --> 04:31:10,180
started something unethical you

8386
04:31:10,180 --> 04:31:10,686
can bury it.

8387
04:31:10,686 --> 04:31:11,353
I'm working construction and

8388
04:31:11,353 --> 04:31:13,689
having construction is also

8389
04:31:13,689 --> 04:31:14,323
going to deteriorate our land

8390
04:31:14,323 --> 04:31:15,240
All of the moving trucks.

8391
04:31:15,240 --> 04:31:18,240
How does anyone actually done

8392
04:31:19,462 --> 04:31:20,950
all of the civil from a third

8393
04:31:20,950 --> 04:31:20,830
party and not from someone

8394
04:31:20,830 --> 04:31:21,530
bought to make all of how are

8395
04:31:21,530 --> 04:31:23,930
we putting all construction

8396
04:31:25,601 --> 04:31:26,301
materials We also have a lot of

8397
04:31:26,301 --> 04:31:27,690
industrial area which means we

8398
04:31:27,690 --> 04:31:30,669
are required to have a land

8399
04:31:31,207 --> 04:31:31,907
environment that is green so

8400
04:31:31,907 --> 04:31:32,508
that we don't have lung issues

8401
04:31:32,508 --> 04:31:34,908
everything else issues I

8402
04:31:36,978 --> 04:31:37,680
understand people wanting

8403
04:31:37,680 --> 04:31:38,381
affordable housing but do you

8404
04:31:38,381 --> 04:31:39,810
want affordable housing where

8405
04:31:39,810 --> 04:31:42,810
people have mold, have issues

8406
04:31:42,918 --> 04:31:43,618
with lungs, have bigger issued

8407
04:31:43,618 --> 04:31:44,252
later down the line where they

8408
04:31:44,252 --> 04:31:44,920
die and then that is more

8409
04:31:44,920 --> 04:31:49,120
costly to the city to go and

8410
04:31:49,158 --> 04:31:49,725
send them to hospitals to have

8411
04:31:49,725 --> 04:31:50,393
all the other issues.

8412
04:31:50,393 --> 04:31:50,993
I don't think you should be

8413
04:31:50,993 --> 04:31:52,993
having this construction

8414
04:31:55,164 --> 04:31:55,965
feeling not just because I but

8415
04:31:55,965 --> 04:31:56,833
like all of the way that it was

8416
04:31:56,833 --> 04:32:01,330
built is not an ethical way as

8417
04:32:02,505 --> 04:32:02,971
a community you want to build

8418
04:32:02,971 --> 04:32:03,539
something on it.

8419
04:32:03,539 --> 04:32:04,107
>> Thank you for that

8420
04:32:04,107 --> 04:32:04,807
concluding remark for

8421
04:32:04,807 --> 04:32:07,843
the record That was my Garcia

8422
04:32:07,843 --> 04:32:08,544
Now I'm sorry the five minute

8423
04:32:08,544 --> 04:32:09,111
timer and I'm going to those

8424
04:32:09,111 --> 04:32:09,712
participating online.

8425
04:32:09,712 --> 04:32:11,447
We have two speakers in

8426
04:32:11,447 --> 04:32:14,447
the queue currently the city

8427
04:32:18,521 --> 04:32:22,121
completes a new you are on

8428
04:32:24,930 --> 04:32:24,927
the left Hello during There's

8429
04:32:24,927 --> 04:32:29,127
one thing I want to make it

8430
04:32:29,265 --> 04:32:29,599
very clear is I support this

8431
04:32:29,599 --> 04:32:31,599
appeal.

8432
04:32:35,238 --> 04:32:35,937
I support Emerald Hills right

8433
04:32:35,937 --> 04:32:36,639
for justice and fight against

8434
04:32:36,639 --> 04:32:40,239
racism And to all these people

8435
04:32:42,645 --> 04:32:43,212
that say no, we need more help,

8436
04:32:43,212 --> 04:32:43,912
we need more housing.

8437
04:32:43,912 --> 04:32:47,512
Where were you the were you

8438
04:32:48,718 --> 04:32:49,385
when projects in more you're

8439
04:32:49,385 --> 04:32:52,385
the same size We're getting

8440
04:32:54,490 --> 04:32:55,458
measly 24 homes and they wanted

8441
04:32:55,458 --> 04:32:59,658
to put 123 here I also have a

8442
04:33:02,131 --> 04:33:02,932
concern with the water main no

8443
04:33:02,932 --> 04:33:04,834
and the on the water main

8444
04:33:04,834 --> 04:33:05,602
report that support that two

8445
04:33:05,602 --> 04:33:09,202
sources or a reservoir and this

8446
04:33:11,373 --> 04:33:12,108
community needs this all these

8447
04:33:12,108 --> 04:33:12,775
people with housing if you want

8448
04:33:12,775 --> 04:33:16,375
to fight for housing you get

8449
04:33:17,280 --> 04:33:18,130
this council to copy Habitat

8450
04:33:18,130 --> 04:33:18,681
for Humanity and what cities in

8451
04:33:18,681 --> 04:33:21,810
Massachusetts are doing with

8452
04:33:23,953 --> 04:33:24,821
lottery system So an $800,000

8453
04:33:24,821 --> 04:33:27,821
homes for 200,000 Your time has

8454
04:33:28,591 --> 04:33:31,591
concluded our time to act

8455
04:33:35,298 --> 04:33:36,132
please on unmute.

8456
04:33:36,132 --> 04:33:36,833
>> Hello my name is Nicole Ali.

8457
04:33:36,833 --> 04:33:37,567
I'm the executive director of

8458
04:33:37,567 --> 04:33:38,234
our Time to Act and a member of

8459
04:33:38,234 --> 04:33:40,634
the Coalition for Equitable

8460
04:33:41,370 --> 04:33:41,704
Development.

8461
04:33:41,704 --> 04:33:42,137
I would like to uplift

8462
04:33:42,137 --> 04:33:42,439
the comments.

8463
04:33:42,439 --> 04:33:42,806
Okay.

8464
04:33:42,806 --> 04:33:43,406
I'm sorry.

8465
04:33:43,406 --> 04:33:45,806
County Vice Chair Monica

8466
04:33:47,343 --> 04:33:48,100
Montgomery Step.

8467
04:33:48,100 --> 04:33:48,611
Large sprawling minimum lot

8468
04:33:48,611 --> 04:33:51,110
sizes are a historically

8469
04:33:51,281 --> 04:33:51,948
segregationist tool and while

8470
04:33:51,948 --> 04:33:52,649
Footnote seven never should

8471
04:33:52,649 --> 04:33:53,350
have targeted the reduction of

8472
04:33:53,350 --> 04:33:53,983
minimum lot sizes in just one

8473
04:33:53,983 --> 04:33:56,383
neighborhood, it does not

8474
04:33:57,454 --> 04:33:58,870
negate the fact that minimizing

8475
04:33:58,870 --> 04:33:58,722
minimum lot sizes reduces

8476
04:33:58,722 --> 04:33:59,455
environmental impacts and

8477
04:33:59,455 --> 04:33:59,756
housing exclusion not increases

8478
04:33:59,756 --> 04:34:01,756
them.

8479
04:34:04,361 --> 04:34:05,270
This project unfortunately

8480
04:34:05,270 --> 04:34:05,729
reduces currently open space

8481
04:34:05,729 --> 04:34:06,396
but with this area being zoned

8482
04:34:06,396 --> 04:34:08,796
as entirely residential and

8483
04:34:09,898 --> 04:34:10,600
without any actual city plans

8484
04:34:10,600 --> 04:34:11,301
to create a park there,

8485
04:34:11,301 --> 04:34:12,200
the inclusion of pocket parks

8486
04:34:12,200 --> 04:34:12,635
and significant infrastructure

8487
04:34:12,635 --> 04:34:14,635
improvements goes towards

8488
04:34:15,905 --> 04:34:16,373
mitigating the impact of this

8489
04:34:16,373 --> 04:34:17,400
new development.

8490
04:34:17,400 --> 04:34:17,607
Ultimately this project will

8491
04:34:17,607 --> 04:34:18,274
significantly increase

8492
04:34:18,274 --> 04:34:20,274
homeownership opportunity in

8493
04:34:21,878 --> 04:34:22,545
this neighborhood and

8494
04:34:22,545 --> 04:34:23,790
additionally the development

8495
04:34:23,790 --> 04:34:23,647
should also increase

8496
04:34:23,647 --> 04:34:24,347
the percentage of and

8497
04:34:24,347 --> 04:34:27,347
affordability of homes in this

8498
04:34:29,185 --> 04:34:29,886
project as outlined by you I

8499
04:34:29,886 --> 04:34:30,553
respectfully ask that you deny

8500
04:34:30,553 --> 04:34:31,220
this appeal and continue to

8501
04:34:31,220 --> 04:34:33,620
encourage greater density in

8502
04:34:33,924 --> 04:34:34,624
every district especially high

8503
04:34:34,624 --> 04:34:35,570
resource areas going forward.

8504
04:34:35,570 --> 04:34:35,425
>> Thank you.

8505
04:34:35,425 --> 04:34:35,959
Thank you.

8506
04:34:35,959 --> 04:34:38,359
Next is John Stump.

8507
04:34:39,362 --> 04:34:40,300
If you can please unmute.

8508
04:34:40,300 --> 04:34:42,430
Thank you very much.

8509
04:34:45,468 --> 04:34:46,690
My concern is that this is a

8510
04:34:46,690 --> 04:34:48,690
quasi judicial hearing.

8511
04:34:51,808 --> 04:34:52,509
Members of the council must be

8512
04:34:52,509 --> 04:34:56,109
free of any apparent or known

8513
04:34:57,847 --> 04:34:58,515
conflict of interest.

8514
04:34:58,515 --> 04:35:00,915
Council PRESIDENT Joe LaCava

8515
04:35:03,619 --> 04:35:04,354
made a very good affirmative

8516
04:35:04,354 --> 04:35:05,210
statement on yesterday's appeal

8517
04:35:05,210 --> 04:35:08,621
and I would expect that all

8518
04:35:10,660 --> 04:35:11,294
current council members would

8519
04:35:11,294 --> 04:35:11,962
make a similar disclosure.

8520
04:35:11,962 --> 04:35:16,162
One of the things that I did

8521
04:35:16,933 --> 04:35:17,634
come up in my mind was

8522
04:35:17,634 --> 04:35:20,340
the employees of council

8523
04:35:23,106 --> 04:35:23,807
members, their agents and

8524
04:35:23,807 --> 04:35:26,207
employees and their conflicts.

8525
04:35:29,146 --> 04:35:32,146
This transfer to the council

8526
04:35:35,652 --> 04:35:36,253
member finally the name of

8527
04:35:36,253 --> 04:35:36,854
the parties in this are

8528
04:35:36,854 --> 04:35:37,219
appellant and Pelly not

8529
04:35:37,219 --> 04:35:39,219
applicant.

8530
04:35:41,391 --> 04:35:41,857
Thank you very much.

8531
04:35:41,857 --> 04:35:42,359
>> Thank you.

8532
04:35:42,359 --> 04:35:44,328
Next is Margaret.

8533
04:35:44,328 --> 04:35:47,328
Margaret very similar if you

8534
04:35:50,634 --> 04:35:51,401
can present you.

8535
04:35:51,401 --> 04:35:52,102
>> Hi, my name is Margaret

8536
04:35:52,102 --> 04:35:52,636
Aparicio, founder of San Diego

8537
04:35:52,636 --> 04:35:54,636
United Communities.

8538
04:35:56,473 --> 04:35:57,173
We don't need more density

8539
04:35:57,173 --> 04:35:57,808
without proper infrastructure.

8540
04:35:57,808 --> 04:35:58,141
What we need is more park

8541
04:35:58,141 --> 04:35:58,809
spaces.

8542
04:35:58,809 --> 04:36:02,146
We were in a major deficit.

8543
04:36:02,146 --> 04:36:02,746
Quick question Where does

8544
04:36:02,746 --> 04:36:03,447
the vp that spoke today

8545
04:36:03,447 --> 04:36:04,148
representing D.R. Horton live?

8546
04:36:04,148 --> 04:36:08,348
Who are they to say that this

8547
04:36:08,519 --> 04:36:09,186
community needs this massive

8548
04:36:09,186 --> 04:36:09,920
monstrous project built and

8549
04:36:09,920 --> 04:36:10,587
the community of Emerald Hills?

8550
04:36:10,587 --> 04:36:13,587
They don't even live there.

8551
04:36:14,240 --> 04:36:14,725
The community is here today to

8552
04:36:14,725 --> 04:36:15,580
say that they don't want this

8553
04:36:15,580 --> 04:36:15,725
project.

8554
04:36:15,725 --> 04:36:16,427
So listen, upstanding United

8555
04:36:16,427 --> 04:36:19,427
Communities is watching all of

8556
04:36:19,630 --> 04:36:20,297
you and your bad decisions.

8557
04:36:20,297 --> 04:36:20,897
No one footnote seven to

8558
04:36:20,897 --> 04:36:21,598
the people of San Diego

8559
04:36:21,598 --> 04:36:21,865
Remember elections are coming

8560
04:36:21,865 --> 04:36:23,865
up.

8561
04:36:25,302 --> 04:36:25,969
Let's vote out these incumbents

8562
04:36:25,969 --> 04:36:26,670
making the wrong decisions.

8563
04:36:26,670 --> 04:36:27,204
The D.R. Horton applicant that

8564
04:36:27,204 --> 04:36:29,604
spoke today was very

8565
04:36:31,942 --> 04:36:32,543
disrespectful by calling up

8566
04:36:32,543 --> 04:36:32,976
concerned neighbors from

8567
04:36:32,976 --> 04:36:33,677
Emerald Hills.

8568
04:36:33,677 --> 04:36:36,677
Why would this council support

8569
04:36:38,115 --> 04:36:38,816
this disgusting disturbing

8570
04:36:38,816 --> 04:36:39,183
behavior from the offices of

8571
04:36:39,183 --> 04:36:39,883
the court?

8572
04:36:39,883 --> 04:36:43,854
And also word on the street is

8573
04:36:43,854 --> 04:36:44,555
that Monica montgomery's

8574
04:36:44,555 --> 04:36:45,189
family's construction company

8575
04:36:45,189 --> 04:36:45,522
will be retained for this

8576
04:36:45,522 --> 04:36:46,256
project.

8577
04:36:46,256 --> 04:36:49,659
It explains why she is so angry

8578
04:36:49,659 --> 04:36:50,627
today.

8579
04:36:50,627 --> 04:36:50,995
>> We have a park deficit in

8580
04:36:50,995 --> 04:36:51,595
San Diego.

8581
04:36:51,595 --> 04:36:52,196
Make the right decision.

8582
04:36:52,196 --> 04:36:54,596
Your time has concluded.

8583
04:36:56,700 --> 04:36:59,700
Jake Buchanan, if you can

8584
04:37:01,438 --> 04:37:01,805
please and you can hear me.

8585
04:37:01,805 --> 04:37:02,273
Yes.

8586
04:37:02,273 --> 04:37:02,906
Please proceed.

8587
04:37:02,906 --> 04:37:03,539
Good afternoon, everyone.

8588
04:37:03,539 --> 04:37:06,539
My name is Jake Buchanan.

8589
04:37:07,878 --> 04:37:08,646
I'm a San Diego resident.

8590
04:37:08,646 --> 04:37:09,178
I'd like to express my support

8591
04:37:09,178 --> 04:37:09,579
for the new housing

8592
04:37:09,579 --> 04:37:11,579
development.

8593
04:37:13,217 --> 04:37:13,717
Our city facing a severe

8594
04:37:13,717 --> 04:37:14,385
housing shortage.

8595
04:37:14,385 --> 04:37:15,520
As we all know, the state of

8596
04:37:15,520 --> 04:37:17,452
California is mandating more

8597
04:37:18,789 --> 04:37:19,557
housing specifically affordable

8598
04:37:19,557 --> 04:37:20,256
housing And a new project like

8599
04:37:20,256 --> 04:37:23,856
this are ones that are exactly

8600
04:37:25,495 --> 04:37:26,300
what we need to provide relief

8601
04:37:26,300 --> 04:37:28,300
for.

8602
04:37:30,134 --> 04:37:30,834
So the addition of the 123 new

8603
04:37:30,834 --> 04:37:31,535
homes including portable units

8604
04:37:31,535 --> 04:37:35,135
is very helpful For first time

8605
04:37:36,240 --> 04:37:36,940
homebuyers like myself that are

8606
04:37:36,940 --> 04:37:37,708
stuck paying premiums on rent

8607
04:37:37,708 --> 04:37:41,308
year after year and are looking

8608
04:37:42,679 --> 04:37:43,347
to get their foot in the door

8609
04:37:43,347 --> 04:37:43,647
and build equity within this

8610
04:37:43,647 --> 04:37:45,647
city.

8611
04:37:47,817 --> 04:37:48,519
So lastly, I believe creating

8612
04:37:48,519 --> 04:37:49,253
more affordability here in a

8613
04:37:49,253 --> 04:37:52,253
very supply constrained city is

8614
04:37:54,325 --> 04:37:54,625
essential for San Diego future

8615
04:37:54,625 --> 04:37:55,559
.

8616
04:37:55,559 --> 04:37:55,860
>> And I thank you for your

8617
04:37:55,860 --> 04:37:56,227
time.

8618
04:37:56,227 --> 04:37:58,227
Thank you.

8619
04:37:58,729 --> 04:37:59,430
The five minute timer did

8620
04:37:59,430 --> 04:38:00,164
conclude that means that there

8621
04:38:00,164 --> 04:38:00,898
are eight speakers in the queue

8622
04:38:00,898 --> 04:38:01,432
and no additional speakers will

8623
04:38:01,432 --> 04:38:02,166
be taken after that.

8624
04:38:02,166 --> 04:38:05,766
Laurie Lipson If you can please

8625
04:38:08,500 --> 04:38:08,506
unmute.

8626
04:38:08,506 --> 04:38:09,173
>> Hello.

8627
04:38:09,173 --> 04:38:09,473
Laurie Lipson Share District

8628
04:38:09,473 --> 04:38:11,473
three.

8629
04:38:14,145 --> 04:38:14,812
Yes we need housing and infill

8630
04:38:14,812 --> 04:38:15,513
is essential to meeting our

8631
04:38:15,513 --> 04:38:17,913
housing needs without sprawl.

8632
04:38:20,284 --> 04:38:20,985
But removing valuable green

8633
04:38:20,985 --> 04:38:21,686
spaces is irresponsible as we

8634
04:38:21,686 --> 04:38:25,286
move into the future and made

8635
04:38:25,957 --> 04:38:26,290
this human caused climate

8636
04:38:26,290 --> 04:38:27,240
crisis.

8637
04:38:27,240 --> 04:38:30,240
No study expert organization or

8638
04:38:31,662 --> 04:38:32,463
government can predict

8639
04:38:32,463 --> 04:38:33,164
the future which is why we need

8640
04:38:33,164 --> 04:38:33,464
to pay attention to what we

8641
04:38:33,464 --> 04:38:35,464
know.

8642
04:38:37,969 --> 04:38:38,603
The climate crisis is real and

8643
04:38:38,603 --> 04:38:39,337
we are a racist country.

8644
04:38:39,337 --> 04:38:41,737
Green spaces are essential

8645
04:38:43,574 --> 04:38:44,242
infrastructure for mental

8646
04:38:44,242 --> 04:38:44,876
health, physical health for

8647
04:38:44,876 --> 04:38:45,476
creating community and for

8648
04:38:45,476 --> 04:38:47,876
helping heal the planet.

8649
04:38:50,448 --> 04:38:50,948
Please grant the appeal and

8650
04:38:50,948 --> 04:38:51,983
deny this project.

8651
04:38:51,983 --> 04:38:55,583
John Elliot if you can please

8652
04:38:58,689 --> 04:38:59,424
unmute.

8653
04:38:59,424 --> 04:39:00,124
>> Good afternoon City Council.

8654
04:39:00,124 --> 04:39:03,724
Your volume is a little low.

8655
04:39:04,529 --> 04:39:05,296
Oh sorry about that.

8656
04:39:05,296 --> 04:39:05,863
I will try to speak louder.

8657
04:39:05,863 --> 04:39:06,130
Can you hear me now?

8658
04:39:06,130 --> 04:39:06,697
Yes.

8659
04:39:06,697 --> 04:39:07,165
We'll reset your time.

8660
04:39:07,165 --> 04:39:09,165
Please proceed.

8661
04:39:09,800 --> 04:39:10,568
Thank you.

8662
04:39:10,568 --> 04:39:11,102
>> We're calling in in support

8663
04:39:11,102 --> 04:39:11,836
of the development.

8664
04:39:11,836 --> 04:39:14,836
However, we do have some

8665
04:39:16,374 --> 04:39:17,790
concerns about community access

8666
04:39:17,790 --> 04:39:17,375
specifically related to pocket

8667
04:39:17,375 --> 04:39:19,375
parks.

8668
04:39:21,713 --> 04:39:22,379
Do those parks include

8669
04:39:22,379 --> 04:39:23,810
restrooms and will they be

8670
04:39:23,810 --> 04:39:23,815
guaranteed the same access or

8671
04:39:23,815 --> 04:39:26,215
will the homeowners association

8672
04:39:28,180 --> 04:39:28,686
be able to restrict access to

8673
04:39:28,686 --> 04:39:29,354
important trails and viewing

8674
04:39:29,354 --> 04:39:32,354
areas in the neighborhood at

8675
04:39:33,625 --> 04:39:34,192
their discretion?

8676
04:39:34,192 --> 04:39:34,893
These pocket parks are

8677
04:39:34,893 --> 04:39:35,526
problematic because generally

8678
04:39:35,526 --> 04:39:37,926
they're managed by private

8679
04:39:39,797 --> 04:39:40,498
security and are highly

8680
04:39:40,498 --> 04:39:41,980
restrictive in who is allowed

8681
04:39:41,980 --> 04:39:41,466
on or off that property.

8682
04:39:41,466 --> 04:39:43,466
Thank you.

8683
04:39:45,870 --> 04:39:48,870
Natalie Raskin If you can

8684
04:39:49,908 --> 04:39:50,509
please unmute.

8685
04:39:50,509 --> 04:39:51,376
>> Hi Natalie.

8686
04:39:51,376 --> 04:39:54,976
My concern is that the project

8687
04:39:56,915 --> 04:39:57,614
overwhelmed only benefits

8688
04:39:57,614 --> 04:39:58,249
the developer not the city and

8689
04:39:58,249 --> 04:39:58,616
certainly not the Encanto

8690
04:39:58,616 --> 04:40:00,616
community.

8691
04:40:02,453 --> 04:40:03,540
D.R. Horton is using the city's

8692
04:40:03,540 --> 04:40:03,688
affordable housing bonus

8693
04:40:03,688 --> 04:40:04,220
program to unlock multiple

8694
04:40:04,220 --> 04:40:06,220
waivers.

8695
04:40:09,259 --> 04:40:09,927
But just like with Depp's

8696
04:40:09,927 --> 04:40:12,327
oversize driveways and other

8697
04:40:13,164 --> 04:40:13,831
exceptions but they are only

8698
04:40:13,831 --> 04:40:14,466
providing 13 units and those

8699
04:40:14,466 --> 04:40:17,466
units are not low income.

8700
04:40:18,970 --> 04:40:19,270
They are moderate income at

8701
04:40:19,270 --> 04:40:19,571
100%.

8702
04:40:19,571 --> 04:40:20,305
Am I?

8703
04:40:20,305 --> 04:40:20,938
That means the families most in

8704
04:40:20,938 --> 04:40:23,938
need and Encanto will not

8705
04:40:24,142 --> 04:40:24,642
benefit from these so-called

8706
04:40:24,642 --> 04:40:25,243
affordable units.

8707
04:40:25,243 --> 04:40:25,844
Yet those 13 units allow

8708
04:40:25,844 --> 04:40:28,244
the developer to reshape

8709
04:40:29,980 --> 04:40:30,615
the entire subdivision to

8710
04:40:30,615 --> 04:40:31,349
maximize yield and profit.

8711
04:40:31,349 --> 04:40:32,500
These waivers directly increase

8712
04:40:32,500 --> 04:40:35,619
the number of blocks they can

8713
04:40:35,619 --> 04:40:35,954
build which increases their

8714
04:40:35,954 --> 04:40:36,554
revenue.

8715
04:40:36,554 --> 04:40:37,289
Meanwhile, the community

8716
04:40:37,289 --> 04:40:40,889
absorbs the impact loss of open

8717
04:40:42,294 --> 04:40:42,961
space, increased traffic and

8718
04:40:42,961 --> 04:40:43,595
project income and council's

8719
04:40:43,595 --> 04:40:44,229
planning group unanimously

8720
04:40:44,229 --> 04:40:46,629
unanimously opposed When a

8721
04:40:47,599 --> 04:40:48,199
corporate developer uses

8722
04:40:48,199 --> 04:40:48,867
Affordable affordability

8723
04:40:48,867 --> 04:40:49,568
program to gain waivers that

8724
04:40:49,568 --> 04:40:51,968
primarily benefit their bottom

8725
04:40:54,406 --> 04:40:55,600
line while offering bare

8726
04:40:55,600 --> 04:40:55,340
minimum affordability in

8727
04:40:55,340 --> 04:40:56,410
return.

8728
04:40:56,410 --> 04:40:59,410
Your time has converted Blair

8729
04:40:59,945 --> 04:41:00,578
Beekman If you can please

8730
04:41:00,578 --> 04:41:01,414
unmute by Blair Beekman.

8731
04:41:01,414 --> 04:41:04,414
>> Just trying to learn about

8732
04:41:06,510 --> 04:41:06,718
this process.

8733
04:41:06,718 --> 04:41:07,418
>> I think this item was

8734
04:41:07,418 --> 04:41:07,786
something this item was here a

8735
04:41:07,786 --> 04:41:09,786
year ago.

8736
04:41:11,910 --> 04:41:11,890
You know we were talking about

8737
04:41:11,890 --> 04:41:15,459
similar issues and we reached a

8738
04:41:15,459 --> 04:41:16,260
compromise solution instead of

8739
04:41:16,260 --> 04:41:16,928
120 units that we work on

8740
04:41:16,928 --> 04:41:19,328
something like 40 units and

8741
04:41:21,666 --> 04:41:22,434
work on park space as well and

8742
04:41:22,434 --> 04:41:23,168
that there needs to really be a

8743
04:41:23,168 --> 04:41:27,368
need that we grow into the idea

8744
04:41:27,672 --> 04:41:28,407
more of inviting more community

8745
04:41:28,407 --> 04:41:29,207
groups to the planning process.

8746
04:41:29,207 --> 04:41:29,540
And we have to learn to do that

8747
04:41:29,540 --> 04:41:31,540
better.

8748
04:41:33,577 --> 04:41:34,278
And on top of all of that I'm

8749
04:41:34,278 --> 04:41:34,913
learning the concepts that you

8750
04:41:34,913 --> 04:41:37,313
know before footnote seven

8751
04:41:39,785 --> 04:41:40,551
there was a real racial problem

8752
04:41:40,551 --> 04:41:41,253
in history in this area that a

8753
04:41:41,253 --> 04:41:43,653
lot of people all

8754
04:41:45,424 --> 04:41:46,570
African-American people in

8755
04:41:46,570 --> 04:41:46,591
the neighborhood feel that

8756
04:41:46,591 --> 04:41:47,225
putting a park there

8757
04:41:47,225 --> 04:41:49,625
memorializes a really bad

8758
04:41:51,596 --> 04:41:52,364
racist tradition.

8759
04:41:52,364 --> 04:41:52,998
We have to have those

8760
04:41:52,998 --> 04:41:53,599
conversations more clearly

8761
04:41:53,599 --> 04:41:54,133
openly and talking about

8762
04:41:54,133 --> 04:41:56,133
the very interesting

8763
04:41:57,836 --> 04:41:58,537
environmental ideas for

8764
04:41:58,537 --> 04:41:59,238
the future of the area because

8765
04:41:59,238 --> 04:41:59,571
look how that conversation can

8766
04:41:59,571 --> 04:42:00,500
develop.

8767
04:42:00,500 --> 04:42:01,272
>> Thank you.

8768
04:42:01,272 --> 04:42:03,272
Thank you.

8769
04:42:07,111 --> 04:42:09,511
>> Next is Angela Harris.

8770
04:42:13,417 --> 04:42:13,985
Hi.

8771
04:42:13,985 --> 04:42:14,453
We can hear you.

8772
04:42:14,453 --> 04:42:14,753
Please proceed.

8773
04:42:14,753 --> 04:42:15,120
Okay.

8774
04:42:15,120 --> 04:42:17,120
Thank you.

8775
04:42:19,491 --> 04:42:20,192
Let me just say for the record

8776
04:42:20,192 --> 04:42:20,859
that what you see sitting in

8777
04:42:20,859 --> 04:42:23,859
those seats and those yellow

8778
04:42:25,497 --> 04:42:26,980
shirts, they don't necessarily

8779
04:42:26,980 --> 04:42:26,598
represent district four.

8780
04:42:26,598 --> 04:42:28,598
They are outliers.

8781
04:42:30,235 --> 04:42:30,936
And I stand with over 30

8782
04:42:30,936 --> 04:42:31,270
families who want to deny this

8783
04:42:31,270 --> 04:42:31,937
appeal.

8784
04:42:31,937 --> 04:42:35,537
You want the council to deny

8785
04:42:36,375 --> 04:42:37,242
this appeal unanimously?

8786
04:42:37,242 --> 04:42:37,976
All of my 30 families live in

8787
04:42:37,976 --> 04:42:41,247
the District four not like many

8788
04:42:41,247 --> 04:42:42,470
of the other paid carpetbaggers

8789
04:42:42,470 --> 04:42:42,781
sitting in the council chamber.

8790
04:42:42,781 --> 04:42:46,652
I have all my current home and

8791
04:42:46,652 --> 04:42:47,319
skyline for more than 22 years

8792
04:42:47,319 --> 04:42:47,953
and have lived with Council

8793
04:42:47,953 --> 04:42:48,253
District four for over 40

8794
04:42:48,253 --> 04:42:48,987
years.

8795
04:42:48,987 --> 04:42:52,624
When I was looking to buy there

8796
04:42:52,624 --> 04:42:53,325
was a a a strong push for

8797
04:42:53,325 --> 04:42:53,992
single family detached homes.

8798
04:42:53,992 --> 04:42:54,560
And I am grateful that those

8799
04:42:54,560 --> 04:42:56,560
opportunities existed.

8800
04:42:58,463 --> 04:42:59,970
I believe we need more single

8801
04:42:59,970 --> 04:42:59,464
family detached housing in

8802
04:42:59,464 --> 04:43:00,199
the area.

8803
04:43:00,199 --> 04:43:02,599
Expanding those housing options

8804
04:43:04,436 --> 04:43:05,137
is important and we want to

8805
04:43:05,137 --> 04:43:05,876
attach resources and amenities

8806
04:43:05,876 --> 04:43:08,876
to our communities like grocery

8807
04:43:09,408 --> 04:43:09,975
stores and additional

8808
04:43:09,975 --> 04:43:10,643
restaurants and border

8809
04:43:10,643 --> 04:43:11,377
investments and support for

8810
04:43:11,377 --> 04:43:14,977
the arts and cultural the Black

8811
04:43:16,581 --> 04:43:17,349
arts and culture district.

8812
04:43:17,349 --> 04:43:18,160
I am disappointed that many of

8813
04:43:18,160 --> 04:43:18,651
my home owners seem ready to

8814
04:43:18,651 --> 04:43:21,651
close the door to himself

8815
04:43:23,550 --> 04:43:23,923
including my apologies Amanda

8816
04:43:23,923 --> 04:43:28,123
if you can please On you Amanda

8817
04:43:28,260 --> 04:43:28,560
if you can please On you.

8818
04:43:28,560 --> 04:43:28,860
Okay.

8819
04:43:28,860 --> 04:43:29,328
Sorry.

8820
04:43:29,328 --> 04:43:29,828
Sorry I'm here.

8821
04:43:29,828 --> 04:43:31,828
Please proceed.

8822
04:43:35,670 --> 04:43:35,734
Just wanted to say I cannot get

8823
04:43:35,734 --> 04:43:39,334
over the irony that in that

8824
04:43:39,839 --> 04:43:42,239
very room yesterday city

8825
04:43:44,643 --> 04:43:45,344
council debated approving a

8826
04:43:45,344 --> 04:43:46,110
5478 square foot single family

8827
04:43:46,110 --> 04:43:49,581
home one home in La Hoya.

8828
04:43:49,581 --> 04:43:50,282
>> And here we are today

8829
04:43:50,282 --> 04:43:51,230
debating 5000 square foot lots

8830
04:43:51,230 --> 04:43:51,717
and animal health at the moment

8831
04:43:51,717 --> 04:43:54,717
with that community member I'm

8832
04:43:55,221 --> 04:43:55,888
speaking in solidarity.

8833
04:43:55,888 --> 04:43:56,589
I've seen firsthand the fact

8834
04:43:56,589 --> 04:43:59,589
that council members like Raul

8835
04:44:01,394 --> 04:44:02,128
Campo not protecting his

8836
04:44:02,128 --> 04:44:02,795
community from overdevelopment.

8837
04:44:02,795 --> 04:44:06,995
I urge you all today to help

8838
04:44:07,330 --> 04:44:07,533
COUNCILMAN Foster protect his

8839
04:44:07,533 --> 04:44:08,267
for him today.

8840
04:44:08,267 --> 04:44:09,670
The transit density loophole up

8841
04:44:09,670 --> 04:44:13,239
for 26 units to be built on a

8842
04:44:13,239 --> 04:44:13,906
quiet residential street next

8843
04:44:13,906 --> 04:44:14,607
door to my stepdad where two

8844
04:44:14,607 --> 04:44:17,910
single family homes used to be

8845
04:44:17,910 --> 04:44:18,678
with no parking requirements.

8846
04:44:18,678 --> 04:44:19,411
50 minutes on Google Maps to

8847
04:44:19,411 --> 04:44:22,411
the nearest grocery store would

8848
04:44:23,716 --> 04:44:24,550
be a public transit.

8849
04:44:24,550 --> 04:44:25,251
They are sick and tired of our

8850
04:44:25,251 --> 04:44:25,817
city council collecting impact

8851
04:44:25,817 --> 04:44:26,452
fees that go to other

8852
04:44:26,452 --> 04:44:28,452
neighborhoods and watching

8853
04:44:29,789 --> 04:44:30,389
developers rake in profits

8854
04:44:30,389 --> 04:44:30,957
while the taxpayers pay

8855
04:44:30,957 --> 04:44:31,324
the permanent costs of

8856
04:44:31,324 --> 04:44:31,890
rezoning.

8857
04:44:31,890 --> 04:44:32,658
>> I have concluded my

8858
04:44:32,658 --> 04:44:35,658
apologies Nina Sanchez if you

8859
04:44:36,729 --> 04:44:38,729
can please unmute.

8860
04:44:43,501 --> 04:44:44,503
Senior Sanchez There you go.

8861
04:44:44,503 --> 04:44:45,204
>> You are And we did not hear

8862
04:44:45,204 --> 04:44:48,204
you here in council chambers.

8863
04:44:48,407 --> 04:44:49,750
I'm not sure if the device they

8864
04:44:49,750 --> 04:44:49,375
are speaking into to maybe

8865
04:44:49,375 --> 04:44:49,975
muted.

8866
04:44:49,975 --> 04:44:50,376
>> Can you hear me now,

8867
04:44:50,376 --> 04:44:50,776
COUNCILMAN?

8868
04:44:50,776 --> 04:44:52,776
Yes we can.

8869
04:44:54,447 --> 04:44:54,847
Please proceed.

8870
04:44:54,847 --> 04:44:55,548
Thank you.

8871
04:44:55,548 --> 04:44:56,215
For nearly a century our Bipoc

8872
04:44:56,215 --> 04:44:56,916
families in San Diego being

8873
04:44:56,916 --> 04:45:00,860
told where we can and cannot

8874
04:45:00,860 --> 04:45:00,787
live be forced into communities

8875
04:45:00,787 --> 04:45:01,287
like Logan and County Council

8876
04:45:01,287 --> 04:45:03,287
on Emerald Hills.

8877
04:45:06,492 --> 04:45:07,193
Then after generations of

8878
04:45:07,193 --> 04:45:07,893
sacrifice and best for me and

8879
04:45:07,893 --> 04:45:08,594
resilient after we built these

8880
04:45:08,594 --> 04:45:10,496
communities and what's in what

8881
04:45:10,496 --> 04:45:11,640
they are today the rule,

8882
04:45:11,640 --> 04:45:11,731
the change once again.

8883
04:45:11,731 --> 04:45:12,431
Now of course the declining

8884
04:45:12,431 --> 04:45:14,831
high density development among

8885
04:45:15,401 --> 04:45:16,101
transit corridors and less

8886
04:45:16,101 --> 04:45:16,602
chance for homeownership more

8887
04:45:16,602 --> 04:45:17,273
lifelong renters.

8888
04:45:17,273 --> 04:45:17,904
This isn't about equity when

8889
04:45:17,904 --> 04:45:20,904
the result is that working

8890
04:45:21,574 --> 04:45:22,275
families lose their chance to

8891
04:45:22,275 --> 04:45:22,875
build wealth while developers

8892
04:45:22,875 --> 04:45:23,276
continue to profit 100%.

8893
04:45:23,276 --> 04:45:25,276
Am I really?

8894
04:45:26,746 --> 04:45:27,179
Most people in Southeast are at

8895
04:45:27,179 --> 04:45:27,847
30% or below.

8896
04:45:27,847 --> 04:45:28,381
Our communities have already

8897
04:45:28,381 --> 04:45:30,381
endured segregation,

8898
04:45:32,885 --> 04:45:33,486
environmental racism,

8899
04:45:33,486 --> 04:45:34,219
displacement in decades,

8900
04:45:34,219 --> 04:45:34,854
the disinvestment and now we're

8901
04:45:34,854 --> 04:45:37,254
expected to quietly accept

8902
04:45:39,692 --> 04:45:40,427
policies that bear and push us

8903
04:45:40,427 --> 04:45:41,940
out of the very neighborhoods

8904
04:45:41,940 --> 04:45:41,660
our parents and grandparents

8905
04:45:41,660 --> 04:45:42,328
fought to hold on to.

8906
04:45:42,328 --> 04:45:43,696
If equity is truly our goal

8907
04:45:43,696 --> 04:45:44,397
this naturally black and brown

8908
04:45:44,397 --> 04:45:45,131
communities like where you're

8909
04:45:45,131 --> 04:45:48,731
guinea pigs or lab rats, cattle

8910
04:45:48,901 --> 04:45:49,635
servants or your property we

8911
04:45:49,635 --> 04:45:50,336
deserve the same opportunity as

8912
04:45:50,336 --> 04:45:50,870
everyone else not just to rent

8913
04:45:50,870 --> 04:45:51,504
but to own to build

8914
04:45:51,504 --> 04:45:53,739
generational wealth and to

8915
04:45:53,739 --> 04:45:54,730
remain in the communities we

8916
04:45:54,730 --> 04:45:54,774
created.

8917
04:45:54,774 --> 04:45:55,730
Stop measuring success by how

8918
04:45:55,730 --> 04:45:57,730
many?

8919
04:45:58,478 --> 04:45:59,177
Your time has concluded.

8920
04:45:59,177 --> 04:46:01,577
Christine Walbourne Your final

8921
04:46:03,449 --> 04:46:03,750
speaker Christine Walbourne.

8922
04:46:03,750 --> 04:46:04,350
Hi.

8923
04:46:04,350 --> 04:46:04,617
Can you hear me?

8924
04:46:04,617 --> 04:46:05,118
Yes.

8925
04:46:05,118 --> 04:46:07,118
Please proceed.

8926
04:46:09,722 --> 04:46:10,490
Hi, I'm in District one and I'm

8927
04:46:10,490 --> 04:46:14,900
calling to ask you to please

8928
04:46:14,727 --> 04:46:15,495
support the appeal.

8929
04:46:15,495 --> 04:46:16,295
I attended the city council

8930
04:46:16,295 --> 04:46:18,297
meeting I think it was in

8931
04:46:18,297 --> 04:46:18,998
DECEMBER about footnote seven

8932
04:46:18,998 --> 04:46:19,632
and I was so impressed with

8933
04:46:19,632 --> 04:46:22,632
the community and how many

8934
04:46:23,570 --> 04:46:24,504
people showed up.

8935
04:46:24,504 --> 04:46:25,205
And so I just want to support

8936
04:46:25,205 --> 04:46:28,805
the community and it's time to

8937
04:46:29,375 --> 04:46:29,942
listen to these people and put

8938
04:46:29,942 --> 04:46:30,577
them above developers.

8939
04:46:30,577 --> 04:46:33,577
So I would appreciate you

8940
04:46:34,647 --> 04:46:35,810
please supporting the appeal.

8941
04:46:35,810 --> 04:46:35,482
>> Thank you.

8942
04:46:35,482 --> 04:46:36,216
Thank you.

8943
04:46:36,216 --> 04:46:39,520
I would like to note for

8944
04:46:39,520 --> 04:46:39,686
the record that we did receive

8945
04:46:39,686 --> 04:46:40,353
four people that submitted

8946
04:46:40,353 --> 04:46:41,540
would like to register their

8947
04:46:41,540 --> 04:46:44,391
position in favor but did not

8948
04:46:44,391 --> 04:46:45,570
wish to speak and six submitted

8949
04:46:45,570 --> 04:46:45,758
would like to register their

8950
04:46:45,758 --> 04:46:46,258
position in opposition but did

8951
04:46:46,258 --> 04:46:48,658
not wish to speak.

8952
04:46:49,629 --> 04:46:50,197
That does conclude public

8953
04:46:50,197 --> 04:46:50,864
comment for this item.

8954
04:46:50,864 --> 04:46:51,231
Council PRESIDENT Thank you.

8955
04:46:51,231 --> 04:46:51,965
All right.

8956
04:46:51,965 --> 04:46:54,367
Thank you City Clerk As I like

8957
04:46:54,367 --> 04:46:55,100
to do when we have these

8958
04:46:55,100 --> 04:46:55,635
heavily attended meetings

8959
04:46:55,635 --> 04:46:56,335
please join me in giving a

8960
04:46:56,335 --> 04:46:59,935
round of applause to our city

8961
04:47:02,175 --> 04:47:05,175
clerk and her entire team.

8962
04:47:07,147 --> 04:47:07,847
>> It is not easy but you did a

8963
04:47:07,847 --> 04:47:08,715
masterful job as you always do

8964
04:47:08,715 --> 04:47:12,218
And as was emphasized, this is

8965
04:47:12,218 --> 04:47:12,852
only the second day of

8966
04:47:12,852 --> 04:47:14,852
implementing implementing

8967
04:47:15,655 --> 04:47:16,322
Senate Bill 707 and it seems

8968
04:47:16,322 --> 04:47:19,322
like it's working very well.

8969
04:47:21,227 --> 04:47:21,528
So at least the early stages of

8970
04:47:21,528 --> 04:47:22,620
that.

8971
04:47:22,620 --> 04:47:22,829
Okay, let's get on.

8972
04:47:22,829 --> 04:47:26,990
So this is now an opportunity

8973
04:47:26,990 --> 04:47:26,767
for the council to weigh in for

8974
04:47:26,767 --> 04:47:27,467
any questions, comments and

8975
04:47:27,467 --> 04:47:30,704
entertain a motion and we will

8976
04:47:30,704 --> 04:47:31,237
start with the council member

8977
04:47:31,237 --> 04:47:33,237
from District four.

8978
04:47:35,141 --> 04:47:35,941
Council Member Foster Yes,

8979
04:47:35,941 --> 04:47:38,941
Thank you Council PRESIDENT And

8980
04:47:40,547 --> 04:47:44,147
thank you to staff for your

8981
04:47:44,817 --> 04:47:47,817
presentation and your work on

8982
04:47:49,256 --> 04:47:50,190
this.

8983
04:47:50,190 --> 04:47:53,790
Also I'd like to thank my

8984
04:47:54,160 --> 04:47:54,860
colleague Supervisor Monica

8985
04:47:54,860 --> 04:47:57,260
Montgomery Step for attending

8986
04:47:59,299 --> 04:47:59,867
today's hearing and providing

8987
04:47:59,867 --> 04:48:02,267
comment and having had

8988
04:48:04,404 --> 04:48:05,205
the honor to serve as her chief

8989
04:48:05,205 --> 04:48:08,975
of staff I can tell you that

8990
04:48:08,975 --> 04:48:09,677
her comments were not

8991
04:48:09,677 --> 04:48:12,770
supporting D.R. Horton,

8992
04:48:13,714 --> 04:48:14,448
the company.

8993
04:48:14,448 --> 04:48:14,848
Rather it was supporting

8994
04:48:14,848 --> 04:48:16,848
opportunity.

8995
04:48:18,485 --> 04:48:19,152
It was supporting generational

8996
04:48:19,152 --> 04:48:20,530
wealth and allowing families

8997
04:48:20,530 --> 04:48:24,253
access to a home They can feel

8998
04:48:27,494 --> 04:48:28,228
safe in a okay, this is

8999
04:48:28,228 --> 04:48:31,398
the second morning we sat here,

9000
04:48:31,398 --> 04:48:32,650
listened to all the testimony

9001
04:48:32,650 --> 04:48:35,650
both for and against mouth.

9002
04:48:36,370 --> 04:48:36,737
The council members chant Give

9003
04:48:36,737 --> 04:48:39,737
them an opportunity to speak.

9004
04:48:40,774 --> 04:48:41,274
You can raise your probably

9005
04:48:41,274 --> 04:48:41,842
lower your thumb.

9006
04:48:41,842 --> 04:48:44,242
>> That's the way to

9007
04:48:45,345 --> 04:48:45,879
communicate with us.

9008
04:48:45,879 --> 04:48:46,547
My apologies.

9009
04:48:46,547 --> 04:48:46,813
Council member foster Thank

9010
04:48:46,813 --> 04:48:48,813
you.

9011
04:48:50,116 --> 04:48:52,516
Council PRESIDENT Her comments

9012
04:48:54,755 --> 04:48:55,550
were not supporting D.R. Horton

9013
04:48:55,550 --> 04:48:55,656
.

9014
04:48:55,656 --> 04:48:56,222
The company rather was

9015
04:48:56,222 --> 04:48:58,222
supporting Opportunity

9016
04:48:59,527 --> 04:49:00,227
generational wealth and

9017
04:49:00,227 --> 04:49:01,195
allowing families access to a

9018
04:49:01,195 --> 04:49:04,431
home they can feel safe in and

9019
04:49:04,431 --> 04:49:05,165
have pride of ownership.

9020
04:49:05,165 --> 04:49:08,765
I want to begin also by

9021
04:49:08,836 --> 04:49:09,502
recognizing the Choice Valley

9022
04:49:09,502 --> 04:49:10,204
Community Planning Group and

9023
04:49:10,204 --> 04:49:13,204
the residents of Emerald Hills

9024
04:49:13,640 --> 04:49:14,740
and their surrounding

9025
04:49:14,740 --> 04:49:15,800
neighborhoods.

9026
04:49:15,800 --> 04:49:18,312
I know you have spent a lot of

9027
04:49:18,312 --> 04:49:19,460
time attending meetings,

9028
04:49:19,460 --> 04:49:21,460
reviewing documents, submitting

9029
04:49:23,150 --> 04:49:25,550
comments and raising concerns

9030
04:49:28,880 --> 04:49:28,789
about the project and I do

9031
04:49:28,789 --> 04:49:31,189
believe your concerns deserve

9032
04:49:31,992 --> 04:49:32,760
direct answers.

9033
04:49:32,760 --> 04:49:33,627
>> The appeal before us today

9034
04:49:33,627 --> 04:49:37,227
and this is a question for

9035
04:49:37,698 --> 04:49:38,399
staff is an appeal of

9036
04:49:38,399 --> 04:49:41,501
the project and not an appeal

9037
04:49:41,501 --> 04:49:42,169
of the addendum to the project

9038
04:49:42,169 --> 04:49:42,870
program Environmental Impact

9039
04:49:42,870 --> 04:49:46,470
Report prepared by the City of

9040
04:49:46,574 --> 04:49:47,174
San Diego as a lead agency.

9041
04:49:47,174 --> 04:49:47,641
>> Is that correct?

9042
04:49:47,641 --> 04:49:49,641
That is correct.

9043
04:49:51,212 --> 04:49:52,120
Councilmember Foster Thank you.

9044
04:49:52,120 --> 04:49:55,282
>> I will say that the appeal

9045
04:49:55,282 --> 04:49:55,982
highlights several concerns

9046
04:49:55,982 --> 04:49:56,650
including traffic, fire safety

9047
04:49:56,650 --> 04:49:59,500
and several other potential

9048
04:50:00,721 --> 04:50:01,388
impacts.

9049
04:50:01,388 --> 04:50:02,550
Those are not small issues.

9050
04:50:02,550 --> 04:50:04,455
They involve the safety

9051
04:50:06,227 --> 04:50:06,694
sustainable ity and future of

9052
04:50:06,694 --> 04:50:08,694
this community.

9053
04:50:10,398 --> 04:50:11,970
They are valid concerns and

9054
04:50:11,970 --> 04:50:11,665
the city should perform as due

9055
04:50:11,665 --> 04:50:12,466
diligence and address

9056
04:50:12,466 --> 04:50:15,466
the concerns of the impacted

9057
04:50:17,805 --> 04:50:18,572
community.

9058
04:50:18,572 --> 04:50:19,273
>> Before getting into my

9059
04:50:19,273 --> 04:50:19,974
questions we need to be honest

9060
04:50:19,974 --> 04:50:22,810
about the history that shaped

9061
04:50:22,810 --> 04:50:23,477
this community.

9062
04:50:23,477 --> 04:50:24,178
District four like many

9063
04:50:24,178 --> 04:50:26,578
communities across the country

9064
04:50:27,580 --> 04:50:28,316
has dealt with discriminatory

9065
04:50:28,316 --> 04:50:30,316
housing policies, disinvestment

9066
04:50:31,886 --> 04:50:32,653
and bad planning decisions.

9067
04:50:32,653 --> 04:50:33,540
These policies did not happen

9068
04:50:33,540 --> 04:50:35,540
by accident.

9069
04:50:37,191 --> 04:50:37,892
They determine where black

9070
04:50:37,892 --> 04:50:40,292
families and non-whites could

9071
04:50:41,362 --> 04:50:42,129
live.

9072
04:50:42,129 --> 04:50:42,630
They determine who had access

9073
04:50:42,630 --> 04:50:44,630
to homeownership.

9074
04:50:46,233 --> 04:50:46,968
They protected wealth and

9075
04:50:46,968 --> 04:50:49,368
opportunity in some communities

9076
04:50:51,172 --> 04:50:51,906
while concentrating poverty and

9077
04:50:51,906 --> 04:50:54,306
limiting opportunity in others.

9078
04:50:55,709 --> 04:50:56,410
>> In the 19 40s and 1950s,

9079
04:50:56,410 --> 04:50:59,410
black and brown families could

9080
04:51:00,810 --> 04:51:00,882
not simply buy a home anywhere

9081
04:51:00,882 --> 04:51:04,482
in San Diego and Emerald Hills

9082
04:51:05,119 --> 04:51:08,719
was one of those communities a

9083
04:51:10,124 --> 04:51:10,825
community that denied nonwhite

9084
04:51:10,825 --> 04:51:11,492
families opportunities because

9085
04:51:11,492 --> 04:51:15,920
of the color of their skin.

9086
04:51:15,330 --> 04:51:16,300
Thanks to the work of

9087
04:51:16,300 --> 04:51:16,731
individuals like Judge Alpha,

9088
04:51:16,731 --> 04:51:19,131
Lavonne Montgomery and others,

9089
04:51:20,100 --> 04:51:20,804
many of those families

9090
04:51:20,804 --> 04:51:21,501
eventually found a pathway to

9091
04:51:21,501 --> 04:51:23,501
homeownership in southeastern

9092
04:51:24,705 --> 04:51:27,105
San Diego including Valencia

9093
04:51:28,942 --> 04:51:29,376
Park Encanto Skyline and

9094
04:51:29,376 --> 04:51:30,440
Emerald Hills.

9095
04:51:30,440 --> 04:51:30,745
My own family was among

9096
04:51:30,745 --> 04:51:33,745
the first generations of black

9097
04:51:34,415 --> 04:51:35,830
families able to become

9098
04:51:35,830 --> 04:51:37,483
homeowners in Valencia Park.

9099
04:51:39,120 --> 04:51:39,887
That home provided stability.

9100
04:51:39,887 --> 04:51:40,755
It gave my family an asset.

9101
04:51:40,755 --> 04:51:44,355
It gave us something we could

9102
04:51:44,359 --> 04:51:45,126
build on and pass down.

9103
04:51:45,126 --> 04:51:48,629
It helped my parents put two

9104
04:51:48,629 --> 04:51:49,397
children through college.

9105
04:51:49,397 --> 04:51:49,964
That is generational wealth.

9106
04:51:49,964 --> 04:51:52,364
Today the children and

9107
04:51:53,768 --> 04:51:54,469
grandchildren of many of those

9108
04:51:54,469 --> 04:51:55,136
same families cannot afford to

9109
04:51:55,136 --> 04:51:58,736
buy a home in the community.

9110
04:51:58,739 --> 04:52:01,739
Their families helped to build.

9111
04:52:02,677 --> 04:52:03,410
District four has limited for

9112
04:52:03,410 --> 04:52:04,110
sale housing while continued to

9113
04:52:04,110 --> 04:52:06,411
receive hundreds of deed

9114
04:52:07,448 --> 04:52:08,216
restricted rental units.

9115
04:52:08,216 --> 04:52:08,783
I have stood with my community

9116
04:52:08,783 --> 04:52:10,783
against the continued

9117
04:52:12,520 --> 04:52:12,887
concentration of poverty in our

9118
04:52:12,887 --> 04:52:13,588
district.

9119
04:52:13,588 --> 04:52:16,588
>> The city recently settled a

9120
04:52:17,858 --> 04:52:18,560
lawsuit Baker versus City of

9121
04:52:18,560 --> 04:52:19,227
San Diego to further mitigate

9122
04:52:19,227 --> 04:52:21,627
the concentration of poverty

9123
04:52:22,363 --> 04:52:23,970
and saturation of deed

9124
04:52:23,970 --> 04:52:23,631
restricted units in communities

9125
04:52:23,631 --> 04:52:25,631
like District four.

9126
04:52:27,135 --> 04:52:27,802
And I have been clear that we

9127
04:52:27,802 --> 04:52:30,802
must have a balanced housing

9128
04:52:31,306 --> 04:52:31,806
approach that includes real

9129
04:52:31,806 --> 04:52:32,240
opportunities for

9130
04:52:32,240 --> 04:52:34,240
homeownership.

9131
04:52:36,110 --> 04:52:36,678
We need homes that working

9132
04:52:36,678 --> 04:52:37,278
families can purchase.

9133
04:52:37,278 --> 04:52:39,278
>> Our teachers, nurses,

9134
04:52:41,149 --> 04:52:41,816
firefighters.

9135
04:52:41,816 --> 04:52:42,283
Public safety professionals.

9136
04:52:42,283 --> 04:52:42,617
Skilled workers.

9137
04:52:42,617 --> 04:52:44,617
Parents.

9138
04:52:46,190 --> 04:52:46,488
Young adults and working

9139
04:52:46,488 --> 04:52:47,188
families deserve

9140
04:52:47,188 --> 04:52:50,788
the opportunity to own a home,

9141
04:52:50,992 --> 04:52:51,692
raise their families here and

9142
04:52:51,692 --> 04:52:52,260
build something they can pass

9143
04:52:52,260 --> 04:52:54,660
on to their children.

9144
04:52:55,863 --> 04:52:56,297
That has been my position from

9145
04:52:56,297 --> 04:52:56,965
the beginning.

9146
04:52:56,965 --> 04:52:59,365
A balanced housing approach

9147
04:53:00,635 --> 04:53:01,302
Stronger pathways to

9148
04:53:01,302 --> 04:53:02,300
homeownership and an end to

9149
04:53:02,300 --> 04:53:04,300
concentrating deed restricted

9150
04:53:05,606 --> 04:53:06,410
units in communities like

9151
04:53:06,410 --> 04:53:08,410
District four.

9152
04:53:10,612 --> 04:53:11,346
Now let's also talk honestly

9153
04:53:11,346 --> 04:53:14,346
about large minimum lots sizes.

9154
04:53:14,982 --> 04:53:15,750
Large minimum lot requirements

9155
04:53:15,750 --> 04:53:19,350
are often presented as if they

9156
04:53:19,888 --> 04:53:20,589
are harmless and they are not.

9157
04:53:20,589 --> 04:53:21,256
These policies were used to

9158
04:53:21,256 --> 04:53:23,256
protect wealthy communities

9159
04:53:24,959 --> 04:53:25,560
from change and keep black

9160
04:53:25,560 --> 04:53:26,228
families brown families,

9161
04:53:26,228 --> 04:53:28,628
immigrants and working class

9162
04:53:29,831 --> 04:53:30,531
people out.

9163
04:53:30,531 --> 04:53:33,531
They made land more expensive.

9164
04:53:34,369 --> 04:53:35,700
They limited the number of

9165
04:53:35,700 --> 04:53:35,804
homes that could be built.

9166
04:53:35,804 --> 04:53:38,804
And they kept homeownership out

9167
04:53:39,400 --> 04:53:39,574
of reach for people who were

9168
04:53:39,574 --> 04:53:40,308
not already wealthy.

9169
04:53:40,308 --> 04:53:43,908
As I pointed out last year,

9170
04:53:44,179 --> 04:53:44,779
studies consistently show large

9171
04:53:44,779 --> 04:53:45,514
minimum lot sizes limit

9172
04:53:45,514 --> 04:53:47,914
opportunities for single family

9173
04:53:48,783 --> 04:53:49,351
home ownership, increase

9174
04:53:49,351 --> 04:53:49,951
housing costs, deepen

9175
04:53:49,951 --> 04:53:51,951
inequality and encourage

9176
04:53:54,322 --> 04:53:54,856
greater reliance on rental

9177
04:53:54,856 --> 04:53:55,257
focused multifamily

9178
04:53:55,257 --> 04:53:57,257
development.

9179
04:53:58,894 --> 04:53:59,460
>> Let me be clear.

9180
04:53:59,460 --> 04:54:01,460
>> Large minimum lot

9181
04:54:03,364 --> 04:54:04,333
requirements are racist.

9182
04:54:04,333 --> 04:54:06,333
>> >> They have discriminatory

9183
04:54:08,670 --> 04:54:09,270
impacts and were used to

9184
04:54:09,270 --> 04:54:09,938
exclude people of color.

9185
04:54:09,938 --> 04:54:12,338
Some people MAY be

9186
04:54:13,410 --> 04:54:13,809
uncomfortable hearing that.

9187
04:54:13,809 --> 04:54:17,409
And I say good that history

9188
04:54:17,879 --> 04:54:18,313
should not make us

9189
04:54:18,313 --> 04:54:19,380
uncomfortable.

9190
04:54:19,380 --> 04:54:23,552
What I am not going to do is to

9191
04:54:23,552 --> 04:54:24,152
water down the truth to make

9192
04:54:24,152 --> 04:54:24,853
people feel better about

9193
04:54:24,853 --> 04:54:27,556
policies that were designed to

9194
04:54:27,556 --> 04:54:28,122
keep families like mine out of

9195
04:54:28,122 --> 04:54:30,122
certain neighborhoods.

9196
04:54:31,727 --> 04:54:32,270
We must stop sanitizing history

9197
04:54:32,270 --> 04:54:32,761
.

9198
04:54:32,761 --> 04:54:33,495
These were not neutral planning

9199
04:54:33,495 --> 04:54:35,895
decisions that somehow produced

9200
04:54:37,732 --> 04:54:38,499
unequal outcomes.

9201
04:54:38,499 --> 04:54:39,401
They were adopted and used to

9202
04:54:39,401 --> 04:54:42,538
control who had access to land

9203
04:54:42,538 --> 04:54:43,104
housing, good schools, public

9204
04:54:43,104 --> 04:54:45,104
investment and wealth.

9205
04:54:46,308 --> 04:54:47,900
When people defend those

9206
04:54:47,900 --> 04:54:47,742
barriers without acknowledging

9207
04:54:47,742 --> 04:54:51,342
who they were built to exclude,

9208
04:54:51,413 --> 04:54:51,979
they are defending the result

9209
04:54:51,979 --> 04:54:54,379
of the racist policy.

9210
04:54:56,118 --> 04:54:56,819
They MAY not like hearing that

9211
04:54:56,819 --> 04:54:59,219
but discovering the discomfort

9212
04:55:01,430 --> 04:55:01,588
does not make the history

9213
04:55:01,588 --> 04:55:02,424
untrue.

9214
04:55:02,424 --> 04:55:05,424
And we cannot address inequity

9215
04:55:06,194 --> 04:55:06,661
while refusing to name what and

9216
04:55:06,661 --> 04:55:08,661
who created it.

9217
04:55:09,531 --> 04:55:09,831
Which leads me to footnote

9218
04:55:09,831 --> 04:55:10,532
seven.

9219
04:55:10,532 --> 04:55:11,267
There seems to be individuals

9220
04:55:11,267 --> 04:55:14,267
in District four that are

9221
04:55:14,770 --> 04:55:15,471
intentionally misinforming our

9222
04:55:15,471 --> 04:55:15,938
community about the origins of

9223
04:55:15,938 --> 04:55:17,938
Footnote seven.

9224
04:55:19,908 --> 04:55:20,576
I have said this publicly from

9225
04:55:20,576 --> 04:55:23,545
this diocese and will again

9226
04:55:23,545 --> 04:55:24,313
state for the record that no

9227
04:55:24,313 --> 04:55:24,913
one and I mean no one in

9228
04:55:24,913 --> 04:55:27,313
the district for office

9229
04:55:28,517 --> 04:55:29,551
generated Footnote seven.

9230
04:55:29,551 --> 04:55:33,550
But what we do know is that

9231
04:55:33,550 --> 04:55:33,756
footnote seven was generated

9232
04:55:33,756 --> 04:55:36,156
during former Mayor Kevin

9233
04:55:37,459 --> 04:55:38,127
Faulkner's administration.

9234
04:55:38,127 --> 04:55:41,127
This is not fake news.

9235
04:55:42,464 --> 04:55:43,231
This is fact.

9236
04:55:43,231 --> 04:55:43,899
So for those that stand with

9237
04:55:43,899 --> 04:55:46,299
Kevin Faulkner and are

9238
04:55:47,235 --> 04:55:47,736
supported by Kevin Faulkner,

9239
04:55:47,736 --> 04:55:49,736
you want answers?

9240
04:55:51,573 --> 04:55:52,140
>> You should start there with

9241
04:55:52,140 --> 04:55:52,708
your friend to further

9242
04:55:52,708 --> 04:55:54,708
illustrate the process

9243
04:55:56,178 --> 04:55:56,944
surrounding Footnote seven.

9244
04:55:56,944 --> 04:55:57,646
I would like to introduce a

9245
04:55:57,646 --> 04:56:01,150
summary of the actions as part

9246
04:56:01,150 --> 04:56:01,450
of the legislative record here

9247
04:56:01,450 --> 04:56:02,218
today.

9248
04:56:02,218 --> 04:56:05,218
If you can bring up

9249
04:56:08,357 --> 04:56:09,158
correspondence number eight you

9250
04:56:09,158 --> 04:56:09,591
can get one of those comments

9251
04:56:09,591 --> 04:56:11,591
Five minutes.

9252
04:56:12,260 --> 04:56:12,761
>> All right.

9253
04:56:12,761 --> 04:56:13,595
Thank you.

9254
04:56:13,595 --> 04:56:17,195
This I will not go through

9255
04:56:18,670 --> 04:56:18,801
the entire record but I want to

9256
04:56:18,801 --> 04:56:21,770
provide it so that everyone can

9257
04:56:21,770 --> 04:56:22,304
see every step that took place

9258
04:56:22,304 --> 04:56:23,390
with footnote seven.

9259
04:56:23,390 --> 04:56:26,441
And I will say this The first

9260
04:56:26,441 --> 04:56:27,900
time it was introduced to

9261
04:56:27,900 --> 04:56:29,900
the Community Planners

9262
04:56:31,647 --> 04:56:32,314
Committee, the chair of

9263
04:56:32,314 --> 04:56:34,714
the Choice Valley Community

9264
04:56:36,218 --> 04:56:37,253
Planning Group was present.

9265
04:56:37,253 --> 04:56:37,953
And you can go back and look at

9266
04:56:37,953 --> 04:56:40,953
the meeting minutes and pull

9267
04:56:41,190 --> 04:56:42,124
the verification in.

9268
04:56:42,124 --> 04:56:45,827
So I will leave that there for

9269
04:56:45,827 --> 04:56:46,462
the public to see.

9270
04:56:46,462 --> 04:56:48,462
>> Footnote seven Reduced

9271
04:56:50,833 --> 04:56:51,500
minimum lot sizes in Encanto

9272
04:56:51,500 --> 04:56:52,134
and southeastern San Diego

9273
04:56:52,134 --> 04:56:52,601
without applying that same

9274
04:56:52,601 --> 04:56:54,601
policy citywide.

9275
04:56:56,572 --> 04:56:57,139
Irene I moved to repeal

9276
04:56:57,139 --> 04:56:59,139
Footnote seven because

9277
04:57:00,576 --> 04:57:01,210
the process was not transparent

9278
04:57:01,210 --> 04:57:01,778
,consistent or inclusive.

9279
04:57:01,778 --> 04:57:03,778
The planning director

9280
04:57:05,347 --> 04:57:06,820
acknowledged that it was not

9281
04:57:06,820 --> 04:57:06,749
handled in accordance with city

9282
04:57:06,749 --> 04:57:09,149
policies and best practices.

9283
04:57:09,752 --> 04:57:10,453
Throughout this discussion

9284
04:57:10,453 --> 04:57:11,530
there have been references to

9285
04:57:11,530 --> 04:57:13,530
furthering fair housing.

9286
04:57:15,157 --> 04:57:15,824
As noted per the staff report

9287
04:57:15,824 --> 04:57:18,224
from the Planning Commission

9288
04:57:18,994 --> 04:57:19,661
dated JANUARY 10th 2020 five

9289
04:57:19,661 --> 04:57:21,661
reducing the discriminatory

9290
04:57:22,898 --> 04:57:23,633
large loss minimums from 20,000

9291
04:57:23,633 --> 04:57:26,633
square foot to 5000 square foot

9292
04:57:27,570 --> 04:57:28,170
has led to affirmatively

9293
04:57:28,170 --> 04:57:28,838
furthering fair housing.

9294
04:57:28,838 --> 04:57:30,838
>> Footnote seven allowed

9295
04:57:32,708 --> 04:57:33,409
market rate for sale single

9296
04:57:33,409 --> 04:57:36,409
family homes in low resource

9297
04:57:37,279 --> 04:57:37,914
communities Consistent with

9298
04:57:37,914 --> 04:57:40,314
plan densities in the 2015

9299
04:57:42,184 --> 04:57:42,852
Encanto Community plan and does

9300
04:57:42,852 --> 04:57:43,219
not contradict fair housing

9301
04:57:43,219 --> 04:57:45,219
policies.

9302
04:57:47,523 --> 04:57:48,191
>> In addition, it's important

9303
04:57:48,191 --> 04:57:51,191
important to point out that

9304
04:57:51,461 --> 04:57:52,228
the surrounding parcels to

9305
04:57:52,228 --> 04:57:53,290
the north, south and west of

9306
04:57:53,290 --> 04:57:56,629
the Radio towers parcel are all

9307
04:57:56,699 --> 04:57:58,699
zoned rs1-7.

9308
04:58:01,503 --> 04:58:05,800
So to be clear all the homes on

9309
04:58:05,800 --> 04:58:05,308
old memory lane are zoned

9310
04:58:05,308 --> 04:58:06,900
rs1-7.

9311
04:58:06,900 --> 04:58:09,900
Just like the proposed project

9312
04:58:10,790 --> 04:58:11,140
before this council today.

9313
04:58:11,140 --> 04:58:11,714
>> So it's clear we need zoning

9314
04:58:11,714 --> 04:58:14,114
reforms that promote equitable

9315
04:58:15,485 --> 04:58:16,219
home ownership.

9316
04:58:16,219 --> 04:58:19,219
We must champion zoning reforms

9317
04:58:19,856 --> 04:58:20,590
that prioritize for sale homes

9318
04:58:20,590 --> 04:58:21,291
and promote equitable access to

9319
04:58:21,291 --> 04:58:23,291
homeownership citywide making

9320
04:58:24,827 --> 04:58:25,395
our city a place where more

9321
04:58:25,395 --> 04:58:27,395
residents can thrive.

9322
04:58:29,980 --> 04:58:29,732
It is ever so critical that we

9323
04:58:29,732 --> 04:58:30,400
support balanced for sale

9324
04:58:30,400 --> 04:58:32,800
housing options in District

9325
04:58:34,170 --> 04:58:34,903
four to ensure our sustainable

9326
04:58:34,903 --> 04:58:35,438
city while ensuring we preserve

9327
04:58:35,438 --> 04:58:37,438
community character.

9328
04:58:38,908 --> 04:58:39,709
Repealing Footnote seven was a

9329
04:58:39,709 --> 04:58:42,709
difficult decision for me but

9330
04:58:43,680 --> 04:58:44,280
the right decision at the time

9331
04:58:44,280 --> 04:58:47,280
and it's also the right

9332
04:58:48,418 --> 04:58:49,180
decision for the city to roll

9333
04:58:49,180 --> 04:58:49,719
up their sleeves, engage

9334
04:58:49,719 --> 04:58:53,319
the public and further vet up

9335
04:58:53,856 --> 04:58:54,557
zoning r's 1-2 large law

9336
04:58:54,557 --> 04:58:56,957
minimums citywide and expand

9337
04:58:58,728 --> 04:58:59,162
for sale single family home

9338
04:58:59,162 --> 04:58:59,895
opportunities.

9339
04:58:59,895 --> 04:59:03,400
As I have said on several

9340
04:59:03,400 --> 04:59:06,400
occasions, I want every family,

9341
04:59:07,102 --> 04:59:07,670
every young person in District

9342
04:59:07,670 --> 04:59:08,371
four to have the same

9343
04:59:08,371 --> 04:59:08,872
opportunities that I have had

9344
04:59:08,872 --> 04:59:10,872
in homeownership.

9345
04:59:12,108 --> 04:59:12,842
The building of generational

9346
04:59:12,842 --> 04:59:16,442
wealth is critical to long term

9347
04:59:17,130 --> 04:59:17,881
sustainability and success.

9348
04:59:17,881 --> 04:59:21,383
Before I start with my project

9349
04:59:21,383 --> 04:59:22,850
specific question I do have a

9350
04:59:22,850 --> 04:59:25,850
few questions for the city

9351
04:59:26,323 --> 04:59:26,990
attorney.

9352
04:59:26,990 --> 04:59:27,657
I see that the staff has

9353
04:59:27,657 --> 04:59:30,527
provided a copy of the city

9354
04:59:30,527 --> 04:59:31,227
attorney's report to Council

9355
04:59:31,227 --> 04:59:33,627
regarding Senate Bill 330 also

9356
04:59:35,198 --> 04:59:35,966
known as the Housing Crisis Act

9357
04:59:35,966 --> 04:59:36,733
of 2019 which is a direct

9358
04:59:36,733 --> 04:59:39,733
response to a statewide housing

9359
04:59:40,603 --> 04:59:42,603
emergency.

9360
04:59:45,308 --> 04:59:46,109
Sb 330 is still effective if

9361
04:59:46,109 --> 04:59:46,977
you can confirm sb 330 is still

9362
04:59:46,977 --> 04:59:50,480
in effect and this project is

9363
04:59:50,480 --> 04:59:51,810
subject to sb 330.

9364
04:59:51,810 --> 04:59:53,810
>> Is that correct?

9365
04:59:55,751 --> 04:59:56,385
I would ask Chief Deputy City

9366
04:59:56,385 --> 04:59:56,987
Attorney Karen New four to

9367
04:59:56,987 --> 04:59:57,320
respond to your question

9368
04:59:57,320 --> 04:59:59,320
please.

9369
04:59:59,990 --> 05:00:00,656
Yes, Thank you.

9370
05:00:00,656 --> 05:00:01,691
Thank you for that question.

9371
05:00:01,691 --> 05:00:04,728
It is still in effect in this

9372
05:00:04,728 --> 05:00:05,280
project is subject to that

9373
05:00:05,280 --> 05:00:05,629
bill.

9374
05:00:05,629 --> 05:00:08,290
>> Thank you for that.

9375
05:00:09,199 --> 05:00:09,900
Per the report it indicates

9376
05:00:09,900 --> 05:00:10,600
that the city MAY deny a

9377
05:00:10,600 --> 05:00:13,000
housing development project or

9378
05:00:14,271 --> 05:00:14,971
impose a condition that

9379
05:00:14,971 --> 05:00:15,405
the project be developed at a

9380
05:00:15,405 --> 05:00:16,107
lower density.

9381
05:00:16,107 --> 05:00:18,507
After making written findings

9382
05:00:19,777 --> 05:00:20,476
based on a preponderance of

9383
05:00:20,476 --> 05:00:21,178
evidence in the administrative

9384
05:00:21,178 --> 05:00:24,178
record that the project would

9385
05:00:24,448 --> 05:00:25,148
have a specific adverse impact

9386
05:00:25,148 --> 05:00:28,748
on public health or safety and

9387
05:00:28,919 --> 05:00:29,519
there is no other feasible

9388
05:00:29,519 --> 05:00:31,519
method to satisfactorily

9389
05:00:33,490 --> 05:00:33,823
mitigate or avoid the adverse

9390
05:00:33,823 --> 05:00:34,290
impact.

9391
05:00:34,290 --> 05:00:34,758
Is that correct?

9392
05:00:34,758 --> 05:00:36,758
That is correct.

9393
05:00:39,610 --> 05:00:39,662
Question for you What does no

9394
05:00:39,662 --> 05:00:42,620
other feasible method to

9395
05:00:43,734 --> 05:00:44,434
satisfactorily mitigate or

9396
05:00:44,434 --> 05:00:47,434
avoid the adverse impact mean?

9397
05:00:48,772 --> 05:00:49,206
>> Well it would depend on what

9398
05:00:49,206 --> 05:00:51,206
the impact is.

9399
05:00:53,310 --> 05:00:57,347
So for instance, if there is an

9400
05:00:57,347 --> 05:00:58,148
impact that would have been

9401
05:00:58,148 --> 05:01:01,748
caused by traffic or fire, you

9402
05:01:02,184 --> 05:01:03,870
would look at what was causing

9403
05:01:03,870 --> 05:01:03,754
that impact and how to avoid it

9404
05:01:03,754 --> 05:01:06,754
or to mitigate for it.

9405
05:01:07,623 --> 05:01:08,224
But it really is very specific

9406
05:01:08,224 --> 05:01:11,224
to what the impact is.

9407
05:01:12,162 --> 05:01:12,829
So in short, just for further

9408
05:01:12,829 --> 05:01:15,229
clarification, if an adverse

9409
05:01:17,100 --> 05:01:17,901
impact does identify and there

9410
05:01:17,901 --> 05:01:20,901
is an acceptable means to

9411
05:01:21,572 --> 05:01:24,572
mitigate legally we should move

9412
05:01:27,144 --> 05:01:27,944
forward with the project based

9413
05:01:27,944 --> 05:01:31,448
on the mitigation if it needs

9414
05:01:31,448 --> 05:01:32,149
to be about it That is what

9415
05:01:32,149 --> 05:01:32,516
the Housing Accountability Act

9416
05:01:32,516 --> 05:01:34,516
requires.

9417
05:01:41,191 --> 05:01:43,591
>> Thank you for that.

9418
05:01:45,496 --> 05:01:46,960
>> If mitigations are provided

9419
05:01:46,960 --> 05:01:46,730
that address the alleged

9420
05:01:46,730 --> 05:01:49,130
adverse impacts on public

9421
05:01:50,401 --> 05:01:51,680
health or safety and the city

9422
05:01:51,680 --> 05:01:51,602
denies the project, what are

9423
05:01:51,602 --> 05:01:53,602
the potential legal

9424
05:01:54,738 --> 05:01:57,138
consequences and trigger of

9425
05:01:59,342 --> 05:01:59,810
the builder's remedy statutes

9426
05:01:59,810 --> 05:02:01,810
if challenged?

9427
05:02:04,800 --> 05:02:04,814
A court could find that

9428
05:02:04,814 --> 05:02:05,249
the city is out of compliance

9429
05:02:05,249 --> 05:02:07,249
with the act.

9430
05:02:09,530 --> 05:02:09,920
There would be a mandatory

9431
05:02:09,920 --> 05:02:10,621
order to go back and be in

9432
05:02:10,621 --> 05:02:13,621
compliance with the Act which

9433
05:02:14,592 --> 05:02:15,125
could include the city being

9434
05:02:15,125 --> 05:02:15,526
required to approve

9435
05:02:15,526 --> 05:02:17,526
the project.

9436
05:02:19,530 --> 05:02:20,164
Mandatory attorneys fees and

9437
05:02:20,164 --> 05:02:22,564
costs and possibly fines.

9438
05:02:24,201 --> 05:02:24,635
>> Thank you for that

9439
05:02:24,635 --> 05:02:25,268
clarification.

9440
05:02:25,268 --> 05:02:27,668
>> Lastly, your office did

9441
05:02:28,973 --> 05:02:29,439
prepare a memorandum regarding

9442
05:02:29,439 --> 05:02:30,400
footnote seven.

9443
05:02:30,400 --> 05:02:33,400
Can you confirm that has

9444
05:02:33,844 --> 05:02:34,645
indicated further memorandum?

9445
05:02:34,645 --> 05:02:35,246
No evidence has been provided

9446
05:02:35,246 --> 05:02:37,646
to date indicating that

9447
05:02:38,315 --> 05:02:39,510
Footnote seven violates federal

9448
05:02:39,510 --> 05:02:39,750
and state equal protection, due

9449
05:02:39,750 --> 05:02:42,750
process and fair housing laws.

9450
05:02:43,954 --> 05:02:44,755
>> Yes, that is correct.

9451
05:02:44,755 --> 05:02:45,455
>> That memo is in the backup

9452
05:02:45,455 --> 05:02:48,455
materials for this item also.

9453
05:02:48,859 --> 05:02:49,293
Thank you for that

9454
05:02:49,293 --> 05:02:50,261
clarification.

9455
05:02:50,261 --> 05:02:53,863
>> With that I'll move on to my

9456
05:02:53,863 --> 05:02:54,331
questions regarding the appeal

9457
05:02:54,331 --> 05:02:56,331
before us today.

9458
05:02:58,336 --> 05:02:59,170
I will start with city staff.

9459
05:02:59,170 --> 05:03:02,770
Some of this is noted in

9460
05:03:03,507 --> 05:03:04,175
the staff report that I think

9461
05:03:04,175 --> 05:03:07,211
was done that that is quite

9462
05:03:07,211 --> 05:03:07,944
thorough but it is a proposed

9463
05:03:07,944 --> 05:03:08,646
development site in the current

9464
05:03:08,646 --> 05:03:11,460
adopted general plan indicated

9465
05:03:12,582 --> 05:03:13,417
as being a park.

9466
05:03:13,417 --> 05:03:16,921
It is not indicated as a park

9467
05:03:16,921 --> 05:03:17,688
in the general plan.

9468
05:03:17,688 --> 05:03:20,880
>> Thank you for that.

9469
05:03:21,726 --> 05:03:22,426
Does the proposed project far

9470
05:03:22,426 --> 05:03:24,826
exceed the 024 dwelling units

9471
05:03:26,397 --> 05:03:26,931
per acre density for which

9472
05:03:26,931 --> 05:03:29,331
the site is owned?

9473
05:03:31,135 --> 05:03:31,869
A clarification on that

9474
05:03:31,869 --> 05:03:32,570
The site is zoned different but

9475
05:03:32,570 --> 05:03:36,170
it is within the density that

9476
05:03:36,741 --> 05:03:37,441
is allowed within the community

9477
05:03:37,441 --> 05:03:38,141
plan which allows up to four

9478
05:03:38,141 --> 05:03:38,809
dwelling units per acre which

9479
05:03:38,809 --> 05:03:41,579
would equal for this project

9480
05:03:41,579 --> 05:03:42,380
site.

9481
05:03:42,380 --> 05:03:42,647
125 units and they're proposing

9482
05:03:42,647 --> 05:03:44,647
123.

9483
05:03:45,750 --> 05:03:46,182
Thank you for that

9484
05:03:46,182 --> 05:03:46,784
clarification.

9485
05:03:46,784 --> 05:03:49,184
Is the proposed project

9486
05:03:50,288 --> 05:03:51,220
inconsistent with the 2015

9487
05:03:51,220 --> 05:03:54,220
Choice Valley Community Plan as

9488
05:03:55,325 --> 05:03:56,270
shown in staff's presentation?

9489
05:03:56,270 --> 05:03:59,270
The project is consistent with

9490
05:03:59,764 --> 05:04:00,398
I would say a majority of

9491
05:04:00,398 --> 05:04:00,965
the applicable regulations

9492
05:04:00,965 --> 05:04:01,365
related to residential

9493
05:04:01,365 --> 05:04:03,365
development.

9494
05:04:04,202 --> 05:04:04,635
>> So it meets general

9495
05:04:04,635 --> 05:04:05,403
conformance.

9496
05:04:05,403 --> 05:04:05,737
It is in general conformance.

9497
05:04:05,737 --> 05:04:07,737
Yes sir.

9498
05:04:09,741 --> 05:04:10,775
Thank you.

9499
05:04:10,775 --> 05:04:11,576
>> And I will ask this again Is

9500
05:04:11,576 --> 05:04:14,312
the 0 to 4 dwelling units per

9501
05:04:14,312 --> 05:04:15,790
acre density consistent with

9502
05:04:15,790 --> 05:04:18,679
the density of the existing of

9503
05:04:19,250 --> 05:04:19,951
the existing development around

9504
05:04:19,951 --> 05:04:22,351
the proposed development site?

9505
05:04:24,490 --> 05:04:25,156
It is consistent with

9506
05:04:25,156 --> 05:04:25,790
the developments located to

9507
05:04:25,790 --> 05:04:28,693
the north, south and west.

9508
05:04:28,693 --> 05:04:29,360
It would differ from

9509
05:04:29,360 --> 05:04:30,940
the development the existing

9510
05:04:30,940 --> 05:04:32,494
residential dwelling units that

9511
05:04:33,131 --> 05:04:33,898
are located to the east.

9512
05:04:33,898 --> 05:04:34,766
>> Thank you for that.

9513
05:04:34,766 --> 05:04:37,766
It has been alleged that

9514
05:04:38,636 --> 05:04:39,337
the proposed project site is an

9515
05:04:39,337 --> 05:04:41,737
indigenous Cuzmy burial site.

9516
05:04:43,641 --> 05:04:44,375
Is this accurate?

9517
05:04:44,375 --> 05:04:45,109
And can you elaborate on

9518
05:04:45,109 --> 05:04:47,509
the city's environmental review

9519
05:04:48,312 --> 05:04:49,800
and tribal consultation process

9520
05:04:49,800 --> 05:04:49,781
and what has been done for this

9521
05:04:49,781 --> 05:04:52,784
project to date and what will

9522
05:04:52,784 --> 05:04:53,117
take place if the project moves

9523
05:04:53,117 --> 05:04:53,818
forward?

9524
05:04:53,818 --> 05:04:56,218
Today an archeological report

9525
05:04:57,955 --> 05:04:58,657
was prepared for the project

9526
05:04:58,657 --> 05:05:02,257
site and there was no evidence

9527
05:05:02,694 --> 05:05:03,461
of any former burial sites

9528
05:05:03,461 --> 05:05:07,610
located on the site and what

9529
05:05:07,432 --> 05:05:08,399
will take place moving forward.

9530
05:05:08,399 --> 05:05:11,999
If this site if this project

9531
05:05:12,537 --> 05:05:15,537
moves forward in regards to

9532
05:05:17,175 --> 05:05:17,909
archeological mitigation So

9533
05:05:17,909 --> 05:05:20,909
the project per municipal code,

9534
05:05:21,646 --> 05:05:22,347
the project per municipal code

9535
05:05:22,347 --> 05:05:22,914
requirements would be required

9536
05:05:22,914 --> 05:05:24,914
to have archeological

9537
05:05:25,316 --> 05:05:27,716
monitoring on site during

9538
05:05:30,321 --> 05:05:30,889
grading operations.

9539
05:05:30,889 --> 05:05:31,656
Thank you for that.

9540
05:05:31,656 --> 05:05:34,560
So there'll be onsite

9541
05:05:35,327 --> 05:05:36,394
monitoring through the process.

9542
05:05:36,394 --> 05:05:38,563
Can you explain what happens if

9543
05:05:38,563 --> 05:05:41,563
there is a potentially a

9544
05:05:43,201 --> 05:05:44,135
finding?

9545
05:05:44,135 --> 05:05:47,472
If there is we would be city

9546
05:05:47,472 --> 05:05:48,339
staff would be notified and

9547
05:05:48,339 --> 05:05:50,739
then we would contact

9548
05:05:52,778 --> 05:05:53,511
the applicable Native American

9549
05:05:53,511 --> 05:05:55,911
tribes for continued inspection

9550
05:05:56,781 --> 05:05:58,781
on the site.

9551
05:06:01,653 --> 05:06:02,523
Thank you for that.

9552
05:06:02,523 --> 05:06:05,523
>> My next question is in

9553
05:06:06,691 --> 05:06:07,920
regards to the development

9554
05:06:07,920 --> 05:06:07,792
impact fees.

9555
05:06:07,792 --> 05:06:08,527
Do we know what the total

9556
05:06:08,527 --> 05:06:10,927
estimated amount of development

9557
05:06:12,231 --> 05:06:15,231
impact fees for this project?

9558
05:06:16,935 --> 05:06:17,669
What they will be approximately

9559
05:06:17,669 --> 05:06:18,336
The impact fees are calculated

9560
05:06:18,336 --> 05:06:21,936
at the time of submittal for

9561
05:06:22,274 --> 05:06:23,107
ministerial building permits.

9562
05:06:23,107 --> 05:06:23,809
But at this at this time we

9563
05:06:23,809 --> 05:06:26,809
have estimated that the impact

9564
05:06:27,311 --> 05:06:29,711
fees would be roughly.

9565
05:06:31,850 --> 05:06:32,684
Sorry to say it's 3.3.4.

9566
05:06:32,684 --> 05:06:36,284
I'm sorry we've got some error

9567
05:06:37,222 --> 05:06:37,621
here from planning that could

9568
05:06:37,621 --> 05:06:38,223
answer that.

9569
05:06:38,223 --> 05:06:38,957
Good afternoon everyone.

9570
05:06:38,957 --> 05:06:41,357
I'm semi-rural with Stonebridge

9571
05:06:41,426 --> 05:06:42,127
director with City Planning.

9572
05:06:42,127 --> 05:06:42,827
The estimated development and

9573
05:06:42,827 --> 05:06:43,362
practice with this project is

9574
05:06:43,362 --> 05:06:45,362
around $3.5 million.

9575
05:06:45,463 --> 05:06:46,531
About 3.5.

9576
05:06:46,531 --> 05:06:50,669
And can you let me can you

9577
05:06:50,669 --> 05:06:51,370
indicate what types of projects

9578
05:06:51,370 --> 05:06:53,370
or infrastructure improvements

9579
05:06:55,540 --> 05:06:55,874
can these funds be used

9580
05:06:55,874 --> 05:06:56,475
towards?

9581
05:06:56,475 --> 05:06:58,875
>> This project would be

9582
05:07:00,412 --> 05:07:01,113
subject to citywide fees and

9583
05:07:01,113 --> 05:07:01,779
under that it's for different

9584
05:07:01,779 --> 05:07:03,515
asset types of mobility fire

9585
05:07:03,515 --> 05:07:05,515
libraries and parks.

9586
05:07:08,487 --> 05:07:10,887
Thank you for that.

9587
05:07:13,658 --> 05:07:14,359
>> The and I think I just

9588
05:07:14,359 --> 05:07:18,130
before I move on from the fees

9589
05:07:18,130 --> 05:07:22,330
and I will I do don't see

9590
05:07:22,466 --> 05:07:23,267
the mayor's representative here

9591
05:07:23,267 --> 05:07:25,370
is quoting here or anyone here.

9592
05:07:25,370 --> 05:07:27,437
I'll address it towards

9593
05:07:30,242 --> 05:07:30,542
the latter part of my comments

9594
05:07:30,542 --> 05:07:31,410
.

9595
05:07:31,410 --> 05:07:35,480
Moving on I do also share our

9596
05:07:35,480 --> 05:07:36,150
concerns about traffic and

9597
05:07:36,150 --> 05:07:36,415
emergency access and

9598
05:07:36,415 --> 05:07:37,148
evacuation.

9599
05:07:37,148 --> 05:07:41,530
And I guess if we have a

9600
05:07:41,530 --> 05:07:41,620
traffic engineer available,

9601
05:07:41,620 --> 05:07:42,186
the 60 year street and

9602
05:07:42,186 --> 05:07:44,186
the proposed developer

9603
05:07:44,891 --> 05:07:45,524
improvements meet the city's

9604
05:07:45,524 --> 05:07:45,957
requirements in the street

9605
05:07:45,957 --> 05:07:47,957
design manual.

9606
05:07:49,610 --> 05:07:49,762
We have a member of our

9607
05:07:49,762 --> 05:07:52,162
transportation staff that can

9608
05:07:54,400 --> 05:07:55,167
answer that question.

9609
05:07:55,167 --> 05:07:55,801
>> Hi, my name is Megalith.

9610
05:07:55,801 --> 05:07:56,435
I'm an associate traffic

9611
05:07:56,435 --> 05:07:58,435
engineer with development

9612
05:07:59,371 --> 05:08:00,805
services and yes Project Access

9613
05:08:00,805 --> 05:08:03,805
in 60th Street meets Current

9614
05:08:06,178 --> 05:08:06,845
City Requirements.

9615
05:08:06,845 --> 05:08:07,613
Thank you for that.

9616
05:08:07,613 --> 05:08:10,613
Also it's my understanding that

9617
05:08:11,317 --> 05:08:12,840
the traffic report indicated

9618
05:08:12,840 --> 05:08:15,684
that two point shy of meeting

9619
05:08:16,154 --> 05:08:16,555
the traffic threshold for

9620
05:08:16,555 --> 05:08:17,122
mitigation.

9621
05:08:17,122 --> 05:08:17,822
Also I understand that

9622
05:08:17,822 --> 05:08:20,222
the proposed development entry

9623
05:08:21,593 --> 05:08:22,261
point will be under signalized

9624
05:08:22,261 --> 05:08:25,861
and will only include a stop

9625
05:08:26,980 --> 05:08:26,799
sign for the vehicles exiting

9626
05:08:26,799 --> 05:08:29,199
the proposed development site.

9627
05:08:30,669 --> 05:08:31,370
Can you let me know Can you

9628
05:08:31,370 --> 05:08:34,970
explain how did the city make

9629
05:08:35,975 --> 05:08:36,275
that determination?

9630
05:08:36,275 --> 05:08:36,942
Sure.

9631
05:08:36,942 --> 05:08:37,643
The project prepared both a

9632
05:08:37,643 --> 05:08:40,430
local mobility analysis which

9633
05:08:40,579 --> 05:08:41,446
is what our operational

9634
05:08:41,446 --> 05:08:45,317
analysis is as well as a vmt

9635
05:08:45,317 --> 05:08:45,951
analysis to evaluate

9636
05:08:45,951 --> 05:08:46,619
the potential significant

9637
05:08:46,619 --> 05:08:48,619
transportation impacts under

9638
05:08:50,222 --> 05:08:50,856
Sequa.

9639
05:08:50,856 --> 05:08:53,659
Under Sequa The project is

9640
05:08:53,659 --> 05:08:54,426
located in Census tract 30.01

9641
05:08:54,426 --> 05:08:57,662
and it would be expected that a

9642
05:08:57,662 --> 05:08:58,970
vmt per capita of 16.9 miles

9643
05:08:58,970 --> 05:09:00,970
per resident.

9644
05:09:01,901 --> 05:09:02,601
Therefore the project would be

9645
05:09:02,601 --> 05:09:03,302
expected to result in a

9646
05:09:03,302 --> 05:09:03,635
significant transportation vmt

9647
05:09:03,635 --> 05:09:05,635
impact.

9648
05:09:07,206 --> 05:09:07,907
The project has selected three

9649
05:09:07,907 --> 05:09:08,641
different mitigation measures

9650
05:09:08,641 --> 05:09:12,241
worth five points and through a

9651
05:09:12,444 --> 05:09:13,111
vmt analysis showed that it

9652
05:09:13,111 --> 05:09:13,779
would be able to bring its

9653
05:09:13,779 --> 05:09:16,779
significant impact down to a

9654
05:09:17,782 --> 05:09:18,217
level of less than

9655
05:09:18,217 --> 05:09:18,718
significance.

9656
05:09:18,718 --> 05:09:19,418
That was the 5.1.

9657
05:09:19,418 --> 05:09:21,921
Sorry Council member If I can

9658
05:09:21,921 --> 05:09:22,722
ask to have to go to the other

9659
05:09:22,722 --> 05:09:23,289
mic and speak a little bit more

9660
05:09:23,289 --> 05:09:23,990
directly into the mic.

9661
05:09:23,990 --> 05:09:24,357
People are having a hard time

9662
05:09:24,357 --> 05:09:26,357
listening.

9663
05:09:26,993 --> 05:09:27,760
I apologize.

9664
05:09:27,760 --> 05:09:28,294
>> Councilmember Thank you.

9665
05:09:28,294 --> 05:09:30,694
Thank you for that.

9666
05:09:31,364 --> 05:09:35,167
And in just so I'm clear, this

9667
05:09:35,167 --> 05:09:35,835
is one of those instances where

9668
05:09:35,835 --> 05:09:38,235
an impact was identified

9669
05:09:40,573 --> 05:09:40,906
mitigation was put in place.

9670
05:09:40,906 --> 05:09:42,906
Correct.

9671
05:09:44,911 --> 05:09:45,578
Therefore continuing to move

9672
05:09:45,578 --> 05:09:45,878
forward in regards to that

9673
05:09:45,878 --> 05:09:46,212
item.

9674
05:09:46,212 --> 05:09:46,485
Correct.

9675
05:09:46,485 --> 05:09:46,846
Yes.

9676
05:09:46,846 --> 05:09:48,846
Thank you.

9677
05:09:49,115 --> 05:09:49,982
That's correct.

9678
05:09:49,982 --> 05:09:53,582
Also there is a minor street

9679
05:09:54,887 --> 05:09:55,554
stop control at the exit of

9680
05:09:55,554 --> 05:09:58,157
what's called Street a on

9681
05:09:58,157 --> 05:09:58,491
the development plans and 60th

9682
05:09:58,491 --> 05:09:59,125
Street.

9683
05:09:59,125 --> 05:09:59,824
And that is an appropriate

9684
05:09:59,824 --> 05:10:02,824
traffic control for this type

9685
05:10:03,228 --> 05:10:04,970
of development.

9686
05:10:04,970 --> 05:10:04,831
And that's why staff did not

9687
05:10:04,831 --> 05:10:07,831
request an always stop analysis

9688
05:10:08,734 --> 05:10:09,235
or a traffic signal to be

9689
05:10:09,235 --> 05:10:11,235
further analyzed.

9690
05:10:13,500 --> 05:10:15,405
>> Thank you for that.

9691
05:10:17,977 --> 05:10:18,511
>> The I guess what I find

9692
05:10:18,511 --> 05:10:19,178
interesting is that

9693
05:10:19,178 --> 05:10:21,578
the representative from Doe

9694
05:10:22,515 --> 05:10:23,115
Horton indicated that

9695
05:10:23,115 --> 05:10:25,115
the current construction

9696
05:10:27,190 --> 05:10:29,419
the current site conditions

9697
05:10:31,690 --> 05:10:32,291
does not meet certain standards

9698
05:10:32,291 --> 05:10:32,892
that it should meet.

9699
05:10:32,892 --> 05:10:34,892
>> Is that correct?

9700
05:10:36,729 --> 05:10:37,497
I guess that's correct.

9701
05:10:37,497 --> 05:10:41,970
Can you explain in more detail

9702
05:10:42,501 --> 05:10:43,636
what that means?

9703
05:10:43,636 --> 05:10:46,939
Yeah, I can I can you can watch

9704
05:10:46,939 --> 05:10:47,807
your staff or myself.

9705
05:10:47,807 --> 05:10:48,106
Staff or the staff can take it.

9706
05:10:48,106 --> 05:10:50,106
Okay.

9707
05:10:52,245 --> 05:10:52,812
So the project is going to be

9708
05:10:52,812 --> 05:10:54,812
Regrading 60th Street.

9709
05:10:56,783 --> 05:10:57,483
And because of the new crates

9710
05:10:57,483 --> 05:10:58,217
that are going to be on

9711
05:10:58,217 --> 05:11:02,222
the road as well as the roadway

9712
05:11:02,222 --> 05:11:02,890
widening as a fix But as MR.

9713
05:11:02,890 --> 05:11:05,191
Boyd explained, the road is

9714
05:11:05,191 --> 05:11:05,892
going to be widened by

9715
05:11:05,892 --> 05:11:06,593
approximately 18ft and there's

9716
05:11:06,593 --> 05:11:09,593
going to be additional Parkway

9717
05:11:09,996 --> 05:11:10,463
as well as dg Granite and a

9718
05:11:10,463 --> 05:11:11,970
trail easement.

9719
05:11:11,970 --> 05:11:14,697
So when we look at project

9720
05:11:15,340 --> 05:11:15,802
exits such as the Street Out

9721
05:11:15,802 --> 05:11:19,380
and 16th Street we do a site

9722
05:11:19,380 --> 05:11:19,773
distance analysis and that's to

9723
05:11:19,773 --> 05:11:20,407
make sure there's adequate site

9724
05:11:20,407 --> 05:11:21,141
distance both for vehicles

9725
05:11:21,141 --> 05:11:24,444
turning left out of the project

9726
05:11:24,444 --> 05:11:25,110
exit as well as turning right.

9727
05:11:25,110 --> 05:11:27,411
Thank you for that.

9728
05:11:29,480 --> 05:11:29,716
I will now move on to the fire

9729
05:11:29,716 --> 05:11:31,716
marshal's fire marshal

9730
05:11:33,987 --> 05:11:34,921
available.

9731
05:11:34,921 --> 05:11:35,522
>> We do have a staff member

9732
05:11:35,522 --> 05:11:36,155
from the fire department

9733
05:11:36,155 --> 05:11:38,291
available to speak online.

9734
05:11:38,291 --> 05:11:38,858
Okay.

9735
05:11:38,858 --> 05:11:39,492
>> Very good.

9736
05:11:39,492 --> 05:11:41,492
Good afternoon, everybody.

9737
05:11:43,496 --> 05:11:44,230
My name is Tyler Larson,

9738
05:11:44,230 --> 05:11:44,864
supervising deputy fire marshal

9739
05:11:44,864 --> 05:11:45,565
for San Diego Fire Rescue.

9740
05:11:45,565 --> 05:11:48,000
I oversee our new construction

9741
05:11:48,000 --> 05:11:48,368
section and community risk

9742
05:11:48,368 --> 05:11:50,368
reduction.

9743
05:11:53,106 --> 05:11:53,973
So first what specific

9744
05:11:53,973 --> 05:11:55,808
questions do you have as far as

9745
05:11:55,808 --> 05:11:56,209
the emergency access?

9746
05:11:56,209 --> 05:11:58,209
>> Yes.

9747
05:11:59,479 --> 05:12:01,479
Thank you.

9748
05:12:04,584 --> 05:12:05,284
>> So essentially we have for

9749
05:12:05,284 --> 05:12:08,284
this proposed project we have

9750
05:12:09,322 --> 05:12:10,230
the inclusion of a separate

9751
05:12:10,230 --> 05:12:10,757
entrance to the west of

9752
05:12:10,757 --> 05:12:11,157
the proposed development at Ode

9753
05:12:11,157 --> 05:12:13,157
Memory Lane.

9754
05:12:14,894 --> 05:12:15,427
Can you explain how you made

9755
05:12:15,427 --> 05:12:17,427
your determination?

9756
05:12:18,431 --> 05:12:20,831
Because it's my understanding

9757
05:12:23,970 --> 05:12:24,738
that this is in a a very high

9758
05:12:24,738 --> 05:12:27,738
fire hazard severity zone that

9759
05:12:28,742 --> 05:12:31,742
requires two points of I'm

9760
05:12:32,512 --> 05:12:32,813
going to say ingress and egress

9761
05:12:32,813 --> 05:12:33,513
.

9762
05:12:33,513 --> 05:12:36,513
Can you explain how you

9763
05:12:37,651 --> 05:12:38,118
developed or mitigated this

9764
05:12:38,118 --> 05:12:38,451
safety concern?

9765
05:12:38,451 --> 05:12:40,451
>> Yes.

9766
05:12:42,756 --> 05:12:43,523
So this project was proposed

9767
05:12:43,523 --> 05:12:43,993
with two means of ingress and

9768
05:12:43,993 --> 05:12:45,993
egress as shown.

9769
05:12:48,462 --> 05:12:49,195
So per the California Fire Code

9770
05:12:49,195 --> 05:12:52,265
and our local amendments, if if

9771
05:12:52,265 --> 05:12:52,932
a project is located in

9772
05:12:52,932 --> 05:12:53,667
the very high fire severity

9773
05:12:53,667 --> 05:12:56,667
zone and they're proposing more

9774
05:12:57,304 --> 05:12:58,104
than 30 single family dwellings

9775
05:12:58,104 --> 05:13:01,704
to means of access and egress

9776
05:13:01,975 --> 05:13:02,609
for evacuation are required and

9777
05:13:02,609 --> 05:13:05,900
the separation distance is

9778
05:13:06,746 --> 05:13:07,580
greater than half the diagonal

9779
05:13:07,580 --> 05:13:11,180
length of the of property which

9780
05:13:12,519 --> 05:13:13,220
this meets And so it does meet

9781
05:13:13,220 --> 05:13:16,220
current current fire code for

9782
05:13:16,723 --> 05:13:17,570
project see very high fire

9783
05:13:17,570 --> 05:13:17,623
station.

9784
05:13:17,623 --> 05:13:20,230
>> Thank you for that.

9785
05:13:21,261 --> 05:13:21,995
And I guess in regards to

9786
05:13:21,995 --> 05:13:25,595
the second point of ingress and

9787
05:13:26,567 --> 05:13:26,900
egress, how will that be

9788
05:13:26,900 --> 05:13:27,834
managed?

9789
05:13:27,834 --> 05:13:31,638
I heard that the gate will be

9790
05:13:31,638 --> 05:13:31,939
locked so we require four

9791
05:13:31,939 --> 05:13:33,939
gates.

9792
05:13:35,442 --> 05:13:36,176
>> Obviously we need 24 seven

9793
05:13:36,176 --> 05:13:36,710
access to two developments that

9794
05:13:36,710 --> 05:13:39,110
are gated For us

9795
05:13:41,181 --> 05:13:41,815
the requirements are a Knox key

9796
05:13:41,815 --> 05:13:42,483
switch which the Knox Keys

9797
05:13:42,483 --> 05:13:45,483
carried on every fire engine

9798
05:13:45,485 --> 05:13:45,853
truck and battalion chief

9799
05:13:45,853 --> 05:13:47,853
apparatus.

9800
05:13:50,390 --> 05:13:51,230
So coming into the property

9801
05:13:51,230 --> 05:13:51,358
fire department will have

9802
05:13:51,358 --> 05:13:53,358
access.

9803
05:13:54,961 --> 05:13:55,662
However, the hoa or whoever

9804
05:13:55,662 --> 05:13:56,429
buys this this property as far

9805
05:13:56,429 --> 05:13:59,429
as however they want to

9806
05:14:00,801 --> 05:14:01,468
maintain their their public or

9807
05:14:01,468 --> 05:14:04,468
their I'm sorry the resident

9808
05:14:04,904 --> 05:14:05,672
access whether it's a key FOBs

9809
05:14:05,672 --> 05:14:09,272
keypad or anything like that we

9810
05:14:09,743 --> 05:14:10,611
will still have a separate 24/7

9811
05:14:10,611 --> 05:14:13,611
access for the fire department

9812
05:14:15,490 --> 05:14:18,919
as far as egress in case of

9813
05:14:18,919 --> 05:14:19,520
evacuation.

9814
05:14:19,520 --> 05:14:20,120
This usually involves an

9815
05:14:20,120 --> 05:14:22,120
underground sensor that

9816
05:14:24,525 --> 05:14:25,259
automatically opens the gates.

9817
05:14:25,259 --> 05:14:27,659
There's other technology out

9818
05:14:30,197 --> 05:14:30,898
there but typically we see, you

9819
05:14:30,898 --> 05:14:31,598
know, a sensor that that reads

9820
05:14:31,598 --> 05:14:34,301
the vehicle and its weight and

9821
05:14:34,301 --> 05:14:35,680
everything like that.

9822
05:14:35,680 --> 05:14:35,769
So that will automatically open

9823
05:14:35,769 --> 05:14:38,639
up the gates for for residents

9824
05:14:38,639 --> 05:14:39,573
coming out.

9825
05:14:39,573 --> 05:14:43,173
>> So the hoa will have access

9826
05:14:43,944 --> 05:14:44,645
to how the gate will be

9827
05:14:44,645 --> 05:14:45,112
operated for the residents in

9828
05:14:45,112 --> 05:14:47,112
the development.

9829
05:14:49,749 --> 05:14:50,350
Is that my is that my

9830
05:14:50,350 --> 05:14:52,350
understanding that Yes.

9831
05:14:54,321 --> 05:14:55,550
And once then we we will review

9832
05:14:55,550 --> 05:14:55,723
in the ministerial the building

9833
05:14:55,723 --> 05:14:58,123
construction permit phase as

9834
05:15:00,160 --> 05:15:00,761
well so we can work out details

9835
05:15:00,761 --> 05:15:01,529
as far as exactly where

9836
05:15:01,529 --> 05:15:04,765
the sensor is going to be And

9837
05:15:04,765 --> 05:15:05,466
in those that those those fine

9838
05:15:05,466 --> 05:15:06,233
details But typically as they

9839
05:15:06,233 --> 05:15:09,337
will decide on that but we were

9840
05:15:09,337 --> 05:15:10,370
we will required because it's

9841
05:15:10,370 --> 05:15:10,337
in a very high fire severity

9842
05:15:10,337 --> 05:15:12,337
zone.

9843
05:15:14,208 --> 05:15:14,875
Okay ease of fitness.

9844
05:15:14,875 --> 05:15:15,575
>> Thank you for that.

9845
05:15:15,575 --> 05:15:19,460
The other issue that has been

9846
05:15:19,460 --> 05:15:19,747
brought up as we are as we are

9847
05:15:19,747 --> 05:15:22,147
adding a 123 additional homes

9848
05:15:23,417 --> 05:15:27,170
in the area, the concern about

9849
05:15:28,789 --> 05:15:31,789
a fire station, what fire

9850
05:15:33,426 --> 05:15:34,950
station will serve this area?

9851
05:15:34,950 --> 05:15:34,695
This is really right on

9852
05:15:34,695 --> 05:15:37,950
the border of engineer.

9853
05:15:39,100 --> 05:15:41,500
I'm sorry Station 12 and

9854
05:15:43,537 --> 05:15:44,271
Station 2626 is is closer and

9855
05:15:44,271 --> 05:15:47,271
will probably respond first but

9856
05:15:47,642 --> 05:15:48,309
it's right on right on

9857
05:15:48,309 --> 05:15:49,100
the border of both districts

9858
05:15:49,100 --> 05:15:52,610
And there's also to the south

9859
05:15:53,546 --> 05:15:53,947
east of this project there is a

9860
05:15:53,947 --> 05:15:55,947
station 51.

9861
05:15:58,753 --> 05:15:59,453
So like with any any new

9862
05:15:59,453 --> 05:16:00,121
development will absorb it as

9863
05:16:00,121 --> 05:16:03,121
far as meeting the response

9864
05:16:03,524 --> 05:16:06,524
times and there's also two

9865
05:16:07,528 --> 05:16:08,396
planned fire stations one on

9866
05:16:08,396 --> 05:16:11,996
Fairmont and one in Encanto I

9867
05:16:13,401 --> 05:16:14,101
believe once it's 65th and

9868
05:16:14,101 --> 05:16:14,669
Broadway that that's less than

9869
05:16:14,669 --> 05:16:17,690
a mile away from

9870
05:16:18,272 --> 05:16:19,400
the development.

9871
05:16:19,400 --> 05:16:19,740
>> That's a that's a future

9872
05:16:19,740 --> 05:16:22,643
fire station company as well.

9873
05:16:22,643 --> 05:16:23,478
Question for you.

9874
05:16:23,478 --> 05:16:24,178
I know at one point in time

9875
05:16:24,178 --> 05:16:26,578
there were response time

9876
05:16:28,616 --> 05:16:29,383
concerns and there I believe it

9877
05:16:29,383 --> 05:16:32,983
was Squad 55, a two man squad

9878
05:16:34,187 --> 05:16:35,156
that was put in place.

9879
05:16:35,156 --> 05:16:39,356
I want to say that they were

9880
05:16:39,727 --> 05:16:40,128
housed at the By Contractors

9881
05:16:40,128 --> 05:16:40,862
Association.

9882
05:16:40,862 --> 05:16:43,431
I want to say they moved from

9883
05:16:43,431 --> 05:16:44,198
there, went to Station 51 but

9884
05:16:44,198 --> 05:16:47,198
then I believe they were

9885
05:16:48,736 --> 05:16:49,604
relocated to downtown.

9886
05:16:49,604 --> 05:16:53,204
Is there any concern in regards

9887
05:16:54,410 --> 05:16:54,809
to response times and the need

9888
05:16:54,809 --> 05:16:55,543
to bring that I guess you

9889
05:16:55,543 --> 05:16:55,909
termed it as a rapid response

9890
05:16:55,909 --> 05:16:57,909
type unit.

9891
05:16:59,479 --> 05:17:00,147
Has that been discussed or

9892
05:17:00,147 --> 05:17:03,147
determined or would that be

9893
05:17:04,885 --> 05:17:05,586
looked at as we continue to go

9894
05:17:05,586 --> 05:17:06,287
through the permitting process

9895
05:17:06,287 --> 05:17:09,287
that's ongoing analysis as far

9896
05:17:10,625 --> 05:17:11,326
as response times in general?

9897
05:17:11,326 --> 05:17:14,326
Typically what I've seen with

9898
05:17:16,564 --> 05:17:17,365
those squads is they'll respond

9899
05:17:17,365 --> 05:17:20,965
with an engine or a trucking

9900
05:17:21,703 --> 05:17:22,303
incident So I just want to

9901
05:17:22,303 --> 05:17:25,303
speak on a high level.

9902
05:17:27,174 --> 05:17:28,420
You know, we will absorb, you

9903
05:17:28,420 --> 05:17:31,420
know, project as proposed and

9904
05:17:36,500 --> 05:17:36,818
still be response times

9905
05:17:36,818 --> 05:17:37,485
obviously that you know, at a

9906
05:17:37,485 --> 05:17:38,880
high level we're continually

9907
05:17:38,880 --> 05:17:40,880
continuously looking at

9908
05:17:41,556 --> 05:17:42,190
response times with increased

9909
05:17:42,190 --> 05:17:44,590
populations in general But

9910
05:17:46,861 --> 05:17:47,529
the simple answer is we'll be

9911
05:17:47,529 --> 05:17:48,228
able to meet response times

9912
05:17:48,228 --> 05:17:48,530
with the current resources we

9913
05:17:48,530 --> 05:17:48,963
have.

9914
05:17:48,963 --> 05:17:50,963
>> All right.

9915
05:17:53,635 --> 05:17:54,200
Thank you for that Before you

9916
05:17:54,200 --> 05:17:54,702
continue.

9917
05:17:54,702 --> 05:17:57,702
>> COUNCILMAN Fox is going to

9918
05:17:58,573 --> 05:17:59,307
need a little bit more time or

9919
05:17:59,307 --> 05:17:59,874
some member of roster Excuse me

9920
05:17:59,874 --> 05:18:01,874
Councilmember Random.

9921
05:18:04,679 --> 05:18:08,279
Thank you for seeding time And

9922
05:18:09,651 --> 05:18:13,851
I guess I'll move on down to

9923
05:18:14,956 --> 05:18:18,556
the developer and I guess MR.

9924
05:18:20,328 --> 05:18:21,620
Boyd if you can address your

9925
05:18:21,620 --> 05:18:24,620
plan to mitigate any additional

9926
05:18:26,201 --> 05:18:26,801
water runoff you've touched

9927
05:18:26,801 --> 05:18:27,502
upon it during your

9928
05:18:27,502 --> 05:18:28,169
presentation but can you just

9929
05:18:28,169 --> 05:18:31,169
elaborate quickly on how you

9930
05:18:31,973 --> 05:18:32,374
plan to do that?

9931
05:18:32,374 --> 05:18:32,941
Yes, sir.

9932
05:18:32,941 --> 05:18:33,675
During the course of

9933
05:18:33,675 --> 05:18:36,750
construction will be installing

9934
05:18:37,712 --> 05:18:38,380
the storm drain improvements on

9935
05:18:38,380 --> 05:18:39,140
site that include three bio

9936
05:18:39,140 --> 05:18:41,414
filter basins that collect

9937
05:18:44,152 --> 05:18:44,619
water clean water to dissipate

9938
05:18:44,619 --> 05:18:45,253
water.

9939
05:18:45,253 --> 05:18:45,854
In addition to that, we're

9940
05:18:45,854 --> 05:18:46,587
going to have your urban

9941
05:18:46,587 --> 05:18:48,987
gathering permits which collect

9942
05:18:50,125 --> 05:18:50,659
rainwater anticipate two city

9943
05:18:50,659 --> 05:18:51,393
designated systems.

9944
05:18:51,393 --> 05:18:54,393
From that standpoint, the extra

9945
05:18:56,298 --> 05:18:56,998
measures that we're doing is

9946
05:18:56,998 --> 05:18:57,666
are these viable dishes that

9947
05:18:57,666 --> 05:18:58,300
are going to be placed on

9948
05:18:58,300 --> 05:18:58,700
the south and the northern

9949
05:18:58,700 --> 05:19:00,700
perimeters.

9950
05:19:02,137 --> 05:19:02,838
So in the event we have

9951
05:19:02,838 --> 05:19:03,471
landscaping water runoff we're

9952
05:19:03,471 --> 05:19:07,710
going to be ditch and not

9953
05:19:07,509 --> 05:19:08,343
impact the properties below.

9954
05:19:08,343 --> 05:19:08,743
Thank you so much for that.

9955
05:19:08,743 --> 05:19:10,743
Stay there.

9956
05:19:13,515 --> 05:19:17,115
Also just wanted to touch upon

9957
05:19:19,870 --> 05:19:19,755
the community engagement.

9958
05:19:19,755 --> 05:19:22,155
You had a slide.

9959
05:19:24,926 --> 05:19:25,626
You had a slide as part of your

9960
05:19:25,626 --> 05:19:28,260
presentation and you mentioned

9961
05:19:30,431 --> 05:19:30,799
that you did quite a bit of

9962
05:19:30,799 --> 05:19:31,533
outreach.

9963
05:19:31,533 --> 05:19:32,200
Can you elaborate a little more

9964
05:19:32,200 --> 05:19:35,200
on just what that entailed?

9965
05:19:37,839 --> 05:19:41,439
I myself have observed you at

9966
05:19:43,110 --> 05:19:43,812
The Current Memorials park

9967
05:19:43,812 --> 05:19:44,246
where certain events would be

9968
05:19:44,246 --> 05:19:46,246
taking place.

9969
05:19:48,249 --> 05:19:48,583
You were out there with your

9970
05:19:48,583 --> 05:19:49,251
team.

9971
05:19:49,251 --> 05:19:49,951
You would have a table.

9972
05:19:49,951 --> 05:19:50,319
You would have your conceptual

9973
05:19:50,319 --> 05:19:52,319
drawings.

9974
05:19:54,623 --> 05:19:55,257
I know you were meeting with

9975
05:19:55,257 --> 05:19:55,958
folks in their garages and

9976
05:19:55,958 --> 05:19:57,958
having several conversations.

9977
05:20:00,996 --> 05:20:01,797
I want to say over probably

9978
05:20:01,797 --> 05:20:02,970
about four but about four years

9979
05:20:02,970 --> 05:20:02,597
or so.

9980
05:20:02,597 --> 05:20:03,165
Is that accurate?

9981
05:20:03,165 --> 05:20:03,532
That's very accurate.

9982
05:20:03,532 --> 05:20:05,532
Yes, sir.

9983
05:20:07,102 --> 05:20:11,302
And can you and I guess just

9984
05:20:11,807 --> 05:20:12,608
what I would like to do I have

9985
05:20:12,608 --> 05:20:13,475
some correspondence here that I

9986
05:20:13,475 --> 05:20:17,750
would like to also add to

9987
05:20:18,480 --> 05:20:19,147
the record is title

9988
05:20:19,147 --> 05:20:19,882
correspondence number nine.

9989
05:20:19,882 --> 05:20:23,718
And it looks like it's an email

9990
05:20:23,718 --> 05:20:27,918
that you sent to me that was

9991
05:20:28,157 --> 05:20:28,858
included as part of a 20 4-6639

9992
05:20:28,858 --> 05:20:31,858
that was actually submitted by

9993
05:20:33,962 --> 05:20:34,863
MR. Rob Campbell.

9994
05:20:34,863 --> 05:20:35,564
And I want to say that it looks

9995
05:20:35,564 --> 05:20:36,265
like it says and I'll read it

9996
05:20:36,265 --> 05:20:39,865
into the record Sunday we are

9997
05:20:40,100 --> 05:20:40,702
meeting with a number of

9998
05:20:40,702 --> 05:20:41,337
homeowners to discuss certain

9999
05:20:41,337 --> 05:20:43,337
concerns namely drainage.

10000
05:20:46,742 --> 05:20:47,409
We are confident we can address

10001
05:20:47,409 --> 05:20:51,900
Kenneth Key who was the very

10002
05:20:52,214 --> 05:20:52,814
vocal resident who has

10003
05:20:52,814 --> 05:20:53,415
coordinated this effort.

10004
05:20:53,415 --> 05:20:53,983
We have developed a very

10005
05:20:53,983 --> 05:20:55,983
positive relationship.

10006
05:20:57,219 --> 05:20:57,887
He seems to be better

10007
05:20:57,887 --> 05:20:58,454
understanding of the project

10008
05:20:58,454 --> 05:21:00,854
and need for housing.

10009
05:21:03,659 --> 05:21:04,426
Next we two are meeting with

10010
05:21:04,426 --> 05:21:04,894
DR. Sams and her folks to tour

10011
05:21:04,894 --> 05:21:05,627
certain areas of

10012
05:21:05,627 --> 05:21:08,627
the neighborhood to get our

10013
05:21:08,664 --> 05:21:09,298
marketing interest with

10014
05:21:09,298 --> 05:21:09,898
potential rehabilitation.

10015
05:21:09,898 --> 05:21:12,898
She desires to prepare a

10016
05:21:15,400 --> 05:21:15,638
positive written statement

10017
05:21:15,638 --> 05:21:16,171
listing all the reasons to

10018
05:21:16,171 --> 05:21:16,871
support the project.

10019
05:21:16,871 --> 05:21:20,471
She also is asking for Horton

10020
05:21:20,743 --> 05:21:21,310
to be a financial supporter of

10021
05:21:21,310 --> 05:21:22,110
local charity events.

10022
05:21:22,110 --> 05:21:25,110
Lastly, as previously noted we

10023
05:21:26,482 --> 05:21:27,148
are open to provide a formal

10024
05:21:27,148 --> 05:21:30,148
council update at any time.

10025
05:21:31,754 --> 05:21:32,555
>> So can you just just quickly

10026
05:21:32,555 --> 05:21:32,821
just how much outreach did you

10027
05:21:32,821 --> 05:21:34,821
do?

10028
05:21:38,227 --> 05:21:38,594
>> a whole lot over a period of

10029
05:21:38,594 --> 05:21:39,295
12 months.

10030
05:21:39,295 --> 05:21:42,895
Over a period of four years.

10031
05:21:43,899 --> 05:21:44,667
Our outreach never stopped.

10032
05:21:44,667 --> 05:21:45,334
No matter what process stage we

10033
05:21:45,334 --> 05:21:45,634
were at, we went into living

10034
05:21:45,634 --> 05:21:47,634
rooms.

10035
05:21:50,406 --> 05:21:50,906
We met with folks, we attended

10036
05:21:50,906 --> 05:21:51,640
community affairs.

10037
05:21:51,640 --> 05:21:54,640
We attended community events by

10038
05:21:56,120 --> 05:21:56,579
nature and we felt it was

10039
05:21:56,579 --> 05:21:57,460
important to meet with

10040
05:21:57,460 --> 05:21:57,513
the opposition.

10041
05:21:57,513 --> 05:21:58,180
We had coffees.

10042
05:21:58,180 --> 05:22:02,184
We sat down with a few of

10043
05:22:02,184 --> 05:22:02,851
the folks here that spoke

10044
05:22:02,851 --> 05:22:03,486
against the project that we

10045
05:22:03,486 --> 05:22:04,120
came to the coffee shops.

10046
05:22:04,120 --> 05:22:06,520
We answer their questions

10047
05:22:08,290 --> 05:22:08,791
the best of our ability.

10048
05:22:08,791 --> 05:22:09,425
We never stopped.

10049
05:22:09,425 --> 05:22:12,425
So we continued with that

10050
05:22:13,763 --> 05:22:14,430
community outreach well past

10051
05:22:14,430 --> 05:22:15,640
planning Commission approval

10052
05:22:15,640 --> 05:22:15,698
and we felt that was what

10053
05:22:15,698 --> 05:22:16,299
the community deserved and

10054
05:22:16,299 --> 05:22:18,699
that's what we provided.

10055
05:22:20,360 --> 05:22:20,336
And so we feel very good about

10056
05:22:20,336 --> 05:22:20,903
that.

10057
05:22:20,903 --> 05:22:21,604
Councilmember Foster.

10058
05:22:21,604 --> 05:22:25,204
But I want to be explicitly

10059
05:22:25,575 --> 05:22:26,275
clear there was not a phone

10060
05:22:26,275 --> 05:22:26,876
call or an opportunity that I

10061
05:22:26,876 --> 05:22:29,276
personally did not MISS.

10062
05:22:31,800 --> 05:22:31,614
I have come down to San Diego

10063
05:22:31,614 --> 05:22:33,614
from Orange County.

10064
05:22:37,319 --> 05:22:37,920
Time after time after time on

10065
05:22:37,920 --> 05:22:38,621
moment's notice we took

10066
05:22:38,621 --> 05:22:41,210
advantage of every opportunity

10067
05:22:43,626 --> 05:22:44,227
we could get Our project facts

10068
05:22:44,227 --> 05:22:46,627
out on the street.

10069
05:22:48,798 --> 05:22:49,499
And yes, the rhetoric of

10070
05:22:49,499 --> 05:22:49,766
the note seven consumed all of

10071
05:22:49,766 --> 05:22:50,633
us.

10072
05:22:50,633 --> 05:22:55,171
And what I tried to do in my

10073
05:22:55,171 --> 05:22:55,905
community outreach was let us

10074
05:22:55,905 --> 05:22:56,606
divorce ourselves from reality.

10075
05:22:56,606 --> 05:22:56,973
But note seven issue which is

10076
05:22:56,973 --> 05:22:58,973
long gone.

10077
05:23:00,710 --> 05:23:01,177
And let's focus on the merits

10078
05:23:01,177 --> 05:23:01,811
of this project.

10079
05:23:01,811 --> 05:23:02,412
I will be honest with you.

10080
05:23:02,412 --> 05:23:04,812
That was a challenge.

10081
05:23:07,183 --> 05:23:07,650
And frankly speaking we never

10082
05:23:07,650 --> 05:23:08,350
gave up on that.

10083
05:23:08,350 --> 05:23:10,750
>> Thank you for that.

10084
05:23:12,655 --> 05:23:12,955
With that I'll go back to city

10085
05:23:12,955 --> 05:23:13,323
staff.

10086
05:23:13,323 --> 05:23:15,323
Thank you.

10087
05:23:19,295 --> 05:23:19,662
Just want to touch base on

10088
05:23:19,662 --> 05:23:20,396
the diff.

10089
05:23:20,396 --> 05:23:20,829
I think we have the director of

10090
05:23:20,829 --> 05:23:22,829
planning here.

10091
05:23:24,734 --> 05:23:25,401
Can you elaborate on

10092
05:23:25,401 --> 05:23:26,102
the potential fees that will

10093
05:23:26,102 --> 05:23:29,702
come in from this project how

10094
05:23:31,430 --> 05:23:31,441
those can be utilized?

10095
05:23:31,441 --> 05:23:33,441
>> Yes.

10096
05:23:36,145 --> 05:23:36,613
So citywide fees do go into

10097
05:23:36,613 --> 05:23:37,313
citywide funds.

10098
05:23:37,313 --> 05:23:38,140
They do go through this vip

10099
05:23:38,140 --> 05:23:40,414
prioritization process that is

10100
05:23:42,651 --> 05:23:43,253
spelled out in Council policy

10101
05:23:43,253 --> 05:23:45,253
814 for prioritization.

10102
05:23:47,657 --> 05:23:48,358
But Councilmember certainly

10103
05:23:48,358 --> 05:23:49,910
upon your request we're happy

10104
05:23:49,910 --> 05:23:49,726
to work with your office and to

10105
05:23:49,726 --> 05:23:52,726
see how we can prioritize

10106
05:23:54,264 --> 05:23:54,730
funding for projects within

10107
05:23:54,730 --> 05:23:55,532
your community.

10108
05:23:55,532 --> 05:23:59,132
We don't tie specific funds to

10109
05:24:00,904 --> 05:24:01,438
specific projects in this

10110
05:24:01,438 --> 05:24:02,700
particular example.

10111
05:24:02,700 --> 05:24:05,700
I would imagine that there

10112
05:24:06,876 --> 05:24:07,544
would be a larger funding pool

10113
05:24:07,544 --> 05:24:08,278
available for investments in

10114
05:24:08,278 --> 05:24:11,278
your community rather than just

10115
05:24:13,148 --> 05:24:13,949
simply identifying the specific

10116
05:24:13,949 --> 05:24:14,484
funds to be paid from this

10117
05:24:14,484 --> 05:24:16,484
particular project.

10118
05:24:18,955 --> 05:24:19,689
I appreciate that and if this

10119
05:24:19,689 --> 05:24:20,356
project does pass today then we

10120
05:24:20,356 --> 05:24:23,356
will definitely have to have

10121
05:24:25,628 --> 05:24:26,195
those conversations to make

10122
05:24:26,195 --> 05:24:26,763
sure that the needs of

10123
05:24:26,763 --> 05:24:29,163
the community are met.

10124
05:24:32,202 --> 05:24:32,836
We can all agree that there is

10125
05:24:32,836 --> 05:24:33,570
work to do infrastructure

10126
05:24:33,570 --> 05:24:37,170
updates and that type of of

10127
05:24:38,507 --> 05:24:39,175
work that needs to take place.

10128
05:24:39,175 --> 05:24:39,842
>> Absolutely, Councilmember

10129
05:24:39,842 --> 05:24:40,243
And we're happy to work with

10130
05:24:40,243 --> 05:24:40,944
your office.

10131
05:24:40,944 --> 05:24:43,847
I do want to note that in all

10132
05:24:43,847 --> 05:24:44,581
impact fees are paid at

10133
05:24:44,581 --> 05:24:45,248
the time of final inspection so

10134
05:24:45,248 --> 05:24:48,848
there MAY be some lag before

10135
05:24:49,286 --> 05:24:49,952
the revenue hits the city.

10136
05:24:49,952 --> 05:24:50,587
But we're happy to have

10137
05:24:50,587 --> 05:24:51,254
continued conversations to

10138
05:24:51,254 --> 05:24:53,254
identify capital improvement

10139
05:24:55,992 --> 05:24:56,592
projects in your community and

10140
05:24:56,592 --> 05:24:57,293
beginning with the next

10141
05:24:57,293 --> 05:24:57,626
upcoming city budget process.

10142
05:24:57,626 --> 05:24:57,994
Thanks.

10143
05:24:57,994 --> 05:24:59,994
All right.

10144
05:25:01,765 --> 05:25:02,566
Thank you for that.

10145
05:25:02,566 --> 05:25:02,999
I think I'm going to try and

10146
05:25:02,999 --> 05:25:04,999
wrap up here.

10147
05:25:06,403 --> 05:25:06,903
Looks like I have a minute and

10148
05:25:06,903 --> 05:25:07,738
35 seconds left.

10149
05:25:07,738 --> 05:25:10,738
There there are several more

10150
05:25:13,430 --> 05:25:13,910
questions that I did come with

10151
05:25:13,910 --> 05:25:18,710
but I think one is my boss If

10152
05:25:19,150 --> 05:25:19,783
you need additional time, I'm

10153
05:25:19,783 --> 05:25:23,653
happy to do so because I do

10154
05:25:23,653 --> 05:25:27,853
think I do think what I would

10155
05:25:30,794 --> 05:25:31,107
like to do is I guess that

10156
05:25:31,107 --> 05:25:31,995
okay.

10157
05:25:31,995 --> 05:25:35,831
>> Do we have to do this again?

10158
05:25:35,831 --> 05:25:36,567
This is routine business for

10159
05:25:36,567 --> 05:25:37,267
the city council If you haven't

10160
05:25:37,267 --> 05:25:40,267
been here each allotted eight

10161
05:25:42,305 --> 05:25:43,600
minutes and if a council fellow

10162
05:25:43,600 --> 05:25:43,607
council member needs more time

10163
05:25:43,607 --> 05:25:46,607
we give them more time.

10164
05:25:47,644 --> 05:25:48,378
COUNCILMAN Weprin gave up five

10165
05:25:48,378 --> 05:25:48,879
minutes so he doesn't get those

10166
05:25:48,879 --> 05:25:49,613
five minutes back.

10167
05:25:49,613 --> 05:25:52,613
Gotham Arena Council member Von

10168
05:25:53,183 --> 05:25:53,917
Wilpert gave up that time so

10169
05:25:53,917 --> 05:25:54,550
that the lead councilmember for

10170
05:25:54,550 --> 05:25:57,550
this district can have his

10171
05:25:58,722 --> 05:25:59,356
opportunity.

10172
05:25:59,356 --> 05:26:00,189
This is routine business.

10173
05:26:00,189 --> 05:26:04,795
We do it all the time so please

10174
05:26:04,795 --> 05:26:05,162
bear with us.

10175
05:26:05,162 --> 05:26:05,862
Thank you.

10176
05:26:05,862 --> 05:26:08,862
Council PRESIDENT I guess I'll

10177
05:26:10,668 --> 05:26:15,468
try to end and wrap this up But

10178
05:26:16,607 --> 05:26:17,207
I guess also as I look at

10179
05:26:17,207 --> 05:26:20,207
the appeal it looks like

10180
05:26:22,120 --> 05:26:22,579
the appellate I'm actually

10181
05:26:22,579 --> 05:26:24,579
attached the complaint

10182
05:26:29,286 --> 05:26:29,853
regarding a similar project,

10183
05:26:29,853 --> 05:26:30,254
the Clover Project to

10184
05:26:30,254 --> 05:26:32,254
the appeal.

10185
05:26:35,459 --> 05:26:35,826
Is that correct?

10186
05:26:35,826 --> 05:26:36,126
>> Yes.

10187
05:26:36,126 --> 05:26:36,894
Yes.

10188
05:26:36,894 --> 05:26:40,494
That is part of the appeal

10189
05:26:42,266 --> 05:26:42,966
package And I would like to say

10190
05:26:42,966 --> 05:26:43,800
or if I understand what was

10191
05:26:43,800 --> 05:26:48,000
provided a lot of that had to

10192
05:26:48,105 --> 05:26:51,105
do with footnote seven correct?

10193
05:26:54,244 --> 05:26:54,978
That is accurate And then I

10194
05:26:54,978 --> 05:26:55,645
received a recent update from

10195
05:26:55,645 --> 05:26:56,280
the city Attorney's office.

10196
05:26:56,280 --> 05:26:58,680
It's my understanding that

10197
05:26:59,650 --> 05:27:00,384
the joint Valley Planning Group

10198
05:27:00,384 --> 05:27:03,384
has determined that they wanted

10199
05:27:05,122 --> 05:27:05,588
to dismiss and settle

10200
05:27:05,588 --> 05:27:06,560
the litigation.

10201
05:27:06,560 --> 05:27:06,624
Is that correct?

10202
05:27:06,624 --> 05:27:09,240
Yes, that is correct.

10203
05:27:11,595 --> 05:27:11,962
And has that agreement been

10204
05:27:11,962 --> 05:27:12,663
finalized?

10205
05:27:12,663 --> 05:27:13,130
My understanding is that it's

10206
05:27:13,130 --> 05:27:13,797
all been signed.

10207
05:27:13,797 --> 05:27:16,797
There MAY be some lingering

10208
05:27:18,468 --> 05:27:21,468
signatures but it has been

10209
05:27:23,574 --> 05:27:25,974
settled So essentially that

10210
05:27:31,649 --> 05:27:32,449
complaint is basically done or

10211
05:27:32,449 --> 05:27:33,830
null and void I guess I'll say

10212
05:27:33,830 --> 05:27:33,684
or I don't know what the I

10213
05:27:33,684 --> 05:27:36,840
don't know to turn

10214
05:27:36,820 --> 05:27:37,321
the settlement side for

10215
05:27:37,321 --> 05:27:38,550
the settlement and

10216
05:27:38,550 --> 05:27:38,455
the plaintiff agrees to dismiss

10217
05:27:38,455 --> 05:27:40,455
the lawsuit.

10218
05:27:43,694 --> 05:27:47,894
The city will not pay any funds

10219
05:27:49,660 --> 05:27:49,700
and agrees to waive seeking any

10220
05:27:49,700 --> 05:27:50,270
attorney's fees and costs

10221
05:27:50,270 --> 05:27:50,601
associated with that.

10222
05:27:50,601 --> 05:27:52,601
>> Okay.

10223
05:27:55,239 --> 05:27:56,400
Thank you for that.

10224
05:27:56,400 --> 05:27:56,907
I guess my final question would

10225
05:27:56,907 --> 05:28:00,507
be because they attach that to

10226
05:28:01,145 --> 05:28:01,646
the appeal, does that impact

10227
05:28:01,646 --> 05:28:02,313
the appeal at all?

10228
05:28:02,313 --> 05:28:04,713
No, it doesn't impact

10229
05:28:05,983 --> 05:28:06,750
the appeal.

10230
05:28:06,750 --> 05:28:07,385
I think that my understanding

10231
05:28:07,385 --> 05:28:10,985
is that it was included to

10232
05:28:12,230 --> 05:28:12,489
support their arguments.

10233
05:28:12,489 --> 05:28:13,570
>> Okay.

10234
05:28:13,570 --> 05:28:15,457
Thank you for that.

10235
05:28:18,696 --> 05:28:19,664
I guess in I don't know if this

10236
05:28:19,664 --> 05:28:23,864
is proper but if we can make

10237
05:28:24,935 --> 05:28:25,603
the settlement agreement part

10238
05:28:25,603 --> 05:28:26,170
of the legislative record as

10239
05:28:26,170 --> 05:28:28,570
backup for this item.

10240
05:28:31,409 --> 05:28:31,742
>> Yes, it's the public record.

10241
05:28:31,742 --> 05:28:33,742
>> Okay.

10242
05:28:34,812 --> 05:28:35,446
We'll note that as

10243
05:28:35,446 --> 05:28:35,880
correspondence number ten.

10244
05:28:35,880 --> 05:28:37,880
>> Thank you.

10245
05:28:40,785 --> 05:28:41,850
I'll conclude I'll conclude

10246
05:28:41,850 --> 05:28:41,886
here.

10247
05:28:41,886 --> 05:28:44,886
But based on the administrative

10248
05:28:47,558 --> 05:28:48,259
record and the information

10249
05:28:48,259 --> 05:28:50,659
provided today, the appellant

10250
05:28:53,364 --> 05:28:54,165
has not met the required

10251
05:28:54,165 --> 05:28:54,831
standards for sb 330 for this

10252
05:28:54,831 --> 05:28:57,831
Council to grant the appeal

10253
05:28:59,837 --> 05:29:00,571
before us today.

10254
05:29:00,571 --> 05:29:01,271
The appellant did not provide

10255
05:29:01,271 --> 05:29:01,906
the proper evidence indicating

10256
05:29:01,906 --> 05:29:04,906
the project would have any

10257
05:29:06,410 --> 05:29:07,780
specific adverse impact on

10258
05:29:07,780 --> 05:29:07,678
public health or safety and

10259
05:29:07,678 --> 05:29:08,179
that there was no other

10260
05:29:08,179 --> 05:29:10,179
feasible method to

10261
05:29:12,149 --> 05:29:12,783
satisfactorily mitigate or

10262
05:29:12,783 --> 05:29:13,117
avoid the alleged adverse

10263
05:29:13,117 --> 05:29:15,117
impacts.

10264
05:29:18,689 --> 05:29:19,290
So essentially the impacts

10265
05:29:19,290 --> 05:29:21,690
identified all have been

10266
05:29:24,950 --> 05:29:24,462
appropriately appropriately

10267
05:29:24,462 --> 05:29:24,796
mitigated.

10268
05:29:24,796 --> 05:29:25,363
Correct?

10269
05:29:25,363 --> 05:29:27,763
That is correct, sir.

10270
05:29:30,802 --> 05:29:31,569
All right.

10271
05:29:31,569 --> 05:29:32,603
>> Thank you for that.

10272
05:29:32,603 --> 05:29:36,803
So with that I will move that

10273
05:29:37,410 --> 05:29:37,675
recommendation to affirm

10274
05:29:37,675 --> 05:29:38,376
the Planning Commission's

10275
05:29:38,376 --> 05:29:40,776
approval of vesting tentative

10276
05:29:43,810 --> 05:29:43,681
map the site development

10277
05:29:43,681 --> 05:29:44,248
permit, the neighborhood

10278
05:29:44,248 --> 05:29:46,248
development permit and

10279
05:29:47,185 --> 05:29:49,585
neighborhood use permit and

10280
05:29:54,459 --> 05:29:54,759
deny the appeal.

10281
05:29:54,759 --> 05:29:55,460
Okay.

10282
05:29:55,460 --> 05:29:56,127
Thanks, Councilmember Foster.

10283
05:29:56,127 --> 05:29:56,761
So we have a motion to move

10284
05:29:56,761 --> 05:29:58,761
the staff recommendation.

10285
05:29:59,497 --> 05:30:00,398
So I'm going to jump in.

10286
05:30:00,398 --> 05:30:03,998
I want to thank everybody that

10287
05:30:05,269 --> 05:30:05,840
spoke today either here at

10288
05:30:05,840 --> 05:30:06,470
Chambers or remotely.

10289
05:30:06,470 --> 05:30:07,205
Thank you for working with

10290
05:30:07,205 --> 05:30:10,805
the city clerk on the organized

10291
05:30:11,276 --> 05:30:12,143
presentations.

10292
05:30:12,143 --> 05:30:12,844
Now that MR. Stop has raised

10293
05:30:12,844 --> 05:30:17,440
the bar for me I have not

10294
05:30:17,248 --> 05:30:17,948
spoken to the developer.

10295
05:30:17,948 --> 05:30:18,383
I did not speak to

10296
05:30:18,383 --> 05:30:20,383
the appellant.

10297
05:30:23,988 --> 05:30:24,322
I did not speak to staff either

10298
05:30:24,322 --> 05:30:25,230
.

10299
05:30:25,230 --> 05:30:25,723
I have reviewed the material

10300
05:30:25,723 --> 05:30:26,324
attached to the docket as well

10301
05:30:26,324 --> 05:30:28,724
as the public comments.

10302
05:30:29,193 --> 05:30:29,894
But if I listen to

10303
05:30:29,894 --> 05:30:30,595
the presentations and comments

10304
05:30:30,595 --> 05:30:31,329
by the public and for those of

10305
05:30:31,329 --> 05:30:34,332
you who know me and I know some

10306
05:30:34,332 --> 05:30:35,200
out there that know me you know

10307
05:30:35,200 --> 05:30:35,933
that I take a pretty deep dive

10308
05:30:35,933 --> 05:30:39,533
when these land use issues come

10309
05:30:40,705 --> 05:30:41,405
in front of us And what I see

10310
05:30:41,405 --> 05:30:42,139
is a project that meets legal

10311
05:30:42,139 --> 05:30:44,539
requirements but raises serious

10312
05:30:45,844 --> 05:30:46,511
questions of city policy

10313
05:30:46,511 --> 05:30:47,780
the questions of park space,

10314
05:30:47,780 --> 05:30:47,679
environmental justice,

10315
05:30:47,679 --> 05:30:49,679
concentration of poverty

10316
05:30:52,160 --> 05:30:52,650
inequity, equitable investment

10317
05:30:52,650 --> 05:30:53,385
in infrastructure, animal

10318
05:30:53,385 --> 05:30:53,750
health community are very valid

10319
05:30:53,750 --> 05:30:55,750
concerns.

10320
05:30:58,890 --> 05:30:59,590
I have a senior council member

10321
05:30:59,590 --> 05:31:00,291
on the dais fighting for these

10322
05:31:00,291 --> 05:31:00,992
issues over and over again and

10323
05:31:00,992 --> 05:31:04,395
I've been so impressed by his

10324
05:31:04,395 --> 05:31:04,996
good fight that oftentimes our

10325
05:31:04,996 --> 05:31:05,629
two council member from

10326
05:31:05,629 --> 05:31:08,533
District one I often find

10327
05:31:08,533 --> 05:31:09,200
myself fighting for District

10328
05:31:09,200 --> 05:31:09,935
four on issues of equity.

10329
05:31:09,935 --> 05:31:10,535
Further, as a former community

10330
05:31:10,535 --> 05:31:12,935
planning group chair, I

10331
05:31:15,373 --> 05:31:16,400
understand that our community

10332
05:31:16,400 --> 05:31:16,708
plans are guiding documents,

10333
05:31:16,708 --> 05:31:19,708
policy documents if you will

10334
05:31:20,711 --> 05:31:21,279
And as residents we want to

10335
05:31:21,279 --> 05:31:21,980
believe they create an

10336
05:31:21,980 --> 05:31:22,713
agreement between the city and

10337
05:31:22,713 --> 05:31:26,313
the community on what shape our

10338
05:31:27,151 --> 05:31:27,986
community's future should take.

10339
05:31:27,986 --> 05:31:28,687
But as I learned when I was

10340
05:31:28,687 --> 05:31:31,687
the community plan chair that

10341
05:31:32,490 --> 05:31:33,158
when I fought and lost and when

10342
05:31:33,158 --> 05:31:34,590
I fought again and lost and

10343
05:31:34,590 --> 05:31:38,259
when I fought again and lost on

10344
05:31:38,597 --> 05:31:39,230
behalf of my community,

10345
05:31:39,230 --> 05:31:39,865
the community plan is only

10346
05:31:39,865 --> 05:31:42,265
policy and guidelines Our

10347
05:31:43,735 --> 05:31:44,503
communities need and therefore

10348
05:31:44,503 --> 05:31:47,503
nothing should be accepted as

10349
05:31:50,175 --> 05:31:50,876
anything driving other than

10350
05:31:50,876 --> 05:31:51,610
what you're willing to step up

10351
05:31:51,610 --> 05:31:55,810
and fight for as you are today.

10352
05:31:55,947 --> 05:31:56,648
Our communities need parks and

10353
05:31:56,648 --> 05:31:56,948
we need advocates to fight for

10354
05:31:56,948 --> 05:31:57,615
them.

10355
05:31:57,615 --> 05:32:00,615
However, on the subject of

10356
05:32:02,153 --> 05:32:02,487
the project we must apply

10357
05:32:02,487 --> 05:32:03,540
the law.

10358
05:32:03,540 --> 05:32:03,754
We must make findings

10359
05:32:03,754 --> 05:32:06,754
the comments about the housing

10360
05:32:08,627 --> 05:32:09,294
accountability Act which I

10361
05:32:09,294 --> 05:32:10,280
appreciate and respect at a

10362
05:32:10,280 --> 05:32:13,280
much higher threshold and we've

10363
05:32:14,231 --> 05:32:14,933
seen that take place not only

10364
05:32:14,933 --> 05:32:15,433
in our city but in cities

10365
05:32:15,433 --> 05:32:16,670
across the county.

10366
05:32:16,670 --> 05:32:16,568
This project has been seen

10367
05:32:16,568 --> 05:32:18,968
right from the day

10368
05:32:20,405 --> 05:32:21,390
the application was deemed

10369
05:32:21,390 --> 05:32:21,707
complete and at that time

10370
05:32:21,707 --> 05:32:24,707
footnote seven was in effect

10371
05:32:26,412 --> 05:32:27,790
and we have since repealed that

10372
05:32:27,790 --> 05:32:27,546
unfortunate addition to our

10373
05:32:27,546 --> 05:32:29,546
municipal code.

10374
05:32:31,749 --> 05:32:32,418
I MAY have policy concerns with

10375
05:32:32,418 --> 05:32:33,118
20,000 square foot lot so my

10376
05:32:33,118 --> 05:32:33,819
colleagues have spoken out in

10377
05:32:33,819 --> 05:32:37,419
the past about that history of

10378
05:32:37,556 --> 05:32:38,257
large lots But I agree that a

10379
05:32:38,257 --> 05:32:38,590
footnote is not the way it is

10380
05:32:38,590 --> 05:32:40,590
on land.

10381
05:32:42,861 --> 05:32:43,662
Our city attorney is thoroughly

10382
05:32:43,662 --> 05:32:44,428
analyzed this issue in a public

10383
05:32:44,428 --> 05:32:47,428
memo that has been available

10384
05:32:48,133 --> 05:32:48,867
since JANUARY 2025 and which is

10385
05:32:48,867 --> 05:32:49,601
included in the backup material

10386
05:32:49,601 --> 05:32:53,801
based on that memo and based on

10387
05:32:54,390 --> 05:32:54,707
existing case law regarding

10388
05:32:54,707 --> 05:32:55,407
vested rights, I cannot set

10389
05:32:55,407 --> 05:32:58,407
aside footnote seven for this

10390
05:32:59,845 --> 05:33:00,412
project as many of you would

10391
05:33:00,412 --> 05:33:01,112
think on the merits of

10392
05:33:01,112 --> 05:33:04,712
the project itself as laid out

10393
05:33:05,750 --> 05:33:06,317
compelling reasons for how this

10394
05:33:06,317 --> 05:33:07,520
project complies with

10395
05:33:07,520 --> 05:33:07,785
the general plan community plan

10396
05:33:07,785 --> 05:33:10,785
and with the zoning regulations

10397
05:33:11,589 --> 05:33:12,224
as they existed at the time of

10398
05:33:12,224 --> 05:33:12,892
the application was deemed

10399
05:33:12,892 --> 05:33:13,559
complete and I have not seen

10400
05:33:13,559 --> 05:33:15,959
any compelling evidence that

10401
05:33:17,963 --> 05:33:18,697
raises to that legal standard

10402
05:33:18,697 --> 05:33:19,640
in the record that convinces me

10403
05:33:19,640 --> 05:33:21,640
otherwise.

10404
05:33:23,935 --> 05:33:24,503
The appellant's original appeal

10405
05:33:24,503 --> 05:33:25,203
documents the claims,

10406
05:33:25,203 --> 05:33:25,938
the waivers conflict with our

10407
05:33:25,938 --> 05:33:30,138
state policies but I do not see

10408
05:33:30,508 --> 05:33:31,210
sufficient evidence in

10409
05:33:31,210 --> 05:33:31,709
the record to Lively's waivers

10410
05:33:31,709 --> 05:33:32,411
as they center on

10411
05:33:32,411 --> 05:33:34,213
the previously debated issues

10412
05:33:34,213 --> 05:33:34,880
of Footnote seven and

10413
05:33:34,880 --> 05:33:35,481
consistency with the general

10414
05:33:35,481 --> 05:33:37,881
plan and community plan.

10415
05:33:39,751 --> 05:33:40,551
So I have two quick questions

10416
05:33:40,551 --> 05:33:41,253
that I want to make sure that I

10417
05:33:41,253 --> 05:33:44,253
understand on this project and

10418
05:33:45,190 --> 05:33:45,958
MR. Boyd or staff whoever wants

10419
05:33:45,958 --> 05:33:46,391
to answer that let me give you

10420
05:33:46,391 --> 05:33:48,391
the easy one.

10421
05:33:51,263 --> 05:33:51,997
The secondary access does have

10422
05:33:51,997 --> 05:33:52,598
gates as was clearly described

10423
05:33:52,598 --> 05:33:55,598
by the fire marshal but

10424
05:33:57,690 --> 05:33:57,669
pedestrian access is allowed

10425
05:33:57,669 --> 05:33:58,103
That is correct or

10426
05:33:58,103 --> 05:33:58,571
the secondary.

10427
05:33:58,571 --> 05:34:00,571
That is correct.

10428
05:34:01,607 --> 05:34:02,374
And then the other one we've

10429
05:34:02,374 --> 05:34:05,778
talked a lot about it but I

10430
05:34:05,778 --> 05:34:06,579
want some confirmation there

10431
05:34:06,579 --> 05:34:06,979
are 13 deed restricted lots to

10432
05:34:06,979 --> 05:34:08,979
be located.

10433
05:34:11,417 --> 05:34:12,150
Where are they going to be

10434
05:34:12,150 --> 05:34:15,150
located in the 423 unit project

10435
05:34:15,787 --> 05:34:16,455
per your housing commission

10436
05:34:16,455 --> 05:34:17,123
requirements Those 13 units

10437
05:34:17,123 --> 05:34:17,823
must be equally distributed

10438
05:34:17,823 --> 05:34:20,223
throughout the entire project.

10439
05:34:23,763 --> 05:34:24,262
They will not be concentrated

10440
05:34:24,262 --> 05:34:24,697
in certain places.

10441
05:34:24,697 --> 05:34:24,997
They will not.

10442
05:34:24,997 --> 05:34:25,664
Okay.

10443
05:34:25,664 --> 05:34:25,931
Thank you for what I suspect

10444
05:34:25,931 --> 05:34:27,700
of.

10445
05:34:27,700 --> 05:34:28,000
I thank you for confirming

10446
05:34:28,000 --> 05:34:28,701
that.

10447
05:34:28,701 --> 05:34:29,403
So with that based on my

10448
05:34:29,403 --> 05:34:30,136
independent analysis I believe

10449
05:34:30,136 --> 05:34:33,506
the findings of the project are

10450
05:34:33,506 --> 05:34:34,107
supported and I will second

10451
05:34:34,107 --> 05:34:34,573
the motion for the staff

10452
05:34:34,573 --> 05:34:36,573
recommendation.

10453
05:34:40,460 --> 05:34:40,746
So with that we will go to

10454
05:34:40,746 --> 05:34:41,447
Council Member Campo Thank you

10455
05:34:41,447 --> 05:34:42,148
Council PRESIDENT Thank you to

10456
05:34:42,148 --> 05:34:45,618
the members of the public for

10457
05:34:45,618 --> 05:34:46,385
their participation today and

10458
05:34:46,385 --> 05:34:47,119
for our city staff as well and

10459
05:34:47,119 --> 05:34:47,820
the long effort that this took.

10460
05:34:47,820 --> 05:34:50,820
I'll start with some brief

10461
05:34:51,857 --> 05:34:52,658
questions.

10462
05:34:52,658 --> 05:34:53,326
One of the first ones that

10463
05:34:53,326 --> 05:34:55,326
seems pretty straightforward

10464
05:34:58,264 --> 05:34:58,965
about the notice it had to be

10465
05:34:58,965 --> 05:34:59,431
notice was JUNE 22nd, correct?

10466
05:34:59,431 --> 05:34:59,732
That is correct.

10467
05:34:59,732 --> 05:35:01,732
Okay.

10468
05:35:03,669 --> 05:35:04,337
And were posters with or

10469
05:35:04,337 --> 05:35:07,337
posters or PDFs on Internet

10470
05:35:08,708 --> 05:35:09,474
sites or anything like that

10471
05:35:09,474 --> 05:35:13,740
posted on JUNE 22nd Seeing this

10472
05:35:15,147 --> 05:35:15,848
index of where it was posted at

10473
05:35:15,848 --> 05:35:16,549
the site and all that seems to

10474
05:35:16,549 --> 05:35:20,149
suggest it was later than that

10475
05:35:20,386 --> 05:35:20,820
But I'm wondering what evidence

10476
05:35:20,820 --> 05:35:21,420
you have.

10477
05:35:21,420 --> 05:35:21,753
The project was properly

10478
05:35:21,753 --> 05:35:22,388
noticed.

10479
05:35:22,388 --> 05:35:25,388
Notices were mailed out as

10480
05:35:25,858 --> 05:35:26,726
required.

10481
05:35:26,726 --> 05:35:27,360
It was also posted on the City

10482
05:35:27,360 --> 05:35:29,760
Council's website and then

10483
05:35:32,598 --> 05:35:33,199
distributed to through the San

10484
05:35:33,199 --> 05:35:33,900
Diego daily transcript.

10485
05:35:33,900 --> 05:35:37,500
At the same time the applicant

10486
05:35:38,370 --> 05:35:41,370
was also sent their notice

10487
05:35:41,908 --> 05:35:42,675
which I confirm received on

10488
05:35:42,675 --> 05:35:43,275
Friday JUNE 26th and then they

10489
05:35:43,275 --> 05:35:45,675
followed up by posting

10490
05:35:47,413 --> 05:35:48,140
the notice on the project site

10491
05:35:48,140 --> 05:35:48,681
on JUNE 29th when they

10492
05:35:48,681 --> 05:35:51,810
submitted their evidence of

10493
05:35:53,419 --> 05:35:54,530
posting I noticed that

10494
05:35:54,530 --> 05:35:54,721
the posting had the wrong

10495
05:35:54,721 --> 05:35:55,354
header on it and immediately

10496
05:35:55,354 --> 05:35:57,754
notified the applicant to

10497
05:35:59,726 --> 05:36:00,526
correct the header and make it

10498
05:36:00,526 --> 05:36:04,726
so that it was visible that it

10499
05:36:05,798 --> 05:36:06,299
was a notice of public hearing

10500
05:36:06,299 --> 05:36:07,267
for city council.

10501
05:36:07,267 --> 05:36:10,203
i see so I can get my city

10502
05:36:10,203 --> 05:36:10,970
clerk wants to read it.

10503
05:36:10,970 --> 05:36:11,670
Sorry I did just want to

10504
05:36:11,670 --> 05:36:12,305
confirm that my office did do

10505
05:36:12,305 --> 05:36:15,305
the notice saying we have

10506
05:36:15,408 --> 05:36:16,108
the mail certificate as well as

10507
05:36:16,108 --> 05:36:16,775
the mail stands for everything

10508
05:36:16,775 --> 05:36:17,510
that we know as well as I've

10509
05:36:17,510 --> 05:36:20,647
seen on public postings such as

10510
05:36:20,647 --> 05:36:21,281
Reddit that people did receive

10511
05:36:21,281 --> 05:36:21,881
these postings and we also

10512
05:36:21,881 --> 05:36:22,449
received that as well as

10513
05:36:22,449 --> 05:36:24,449
the daily transcript.

10514
05:36:26,586 --> 05:36:27,420
My office did do that as well.

10515
05:36:27,420 --> 05:36:28,288
>> Thank you Council PRESIDENT.

10516
05:36:28,288 --> 05:36:31,790
I know my time is running at

10517
05:36:31,790 --> 05:36:32,425
the at the moment I understood

10518
05:36:32,425 --> 05:36:33,159
So the city did its part.

10519
05:36:33,159 --> 05:36:36,159
>> It sounds like a developer

10520
05:36:36,830 --> 05:36:37,330
had to put their notice up on

10521
05:36:37,330 --> 05:36:37,797
the fence as well.

10522
05:36:37,797 --> 05:36:38,980
That is correct.

10523
05:36:38,980 --> 05:36:39,310
Okay.

10524
05:36:39,310 --> 05:36:42,835
If they are faulty but we're in

10525
05:36:42,835 --> 05:36:43,503
compliance as a city, does that

10526
05:36:43,503 --> 05:36:44,300
impact them process at all?

10527
05:36:44,300 --> 05:36:46,300
>> It does not.

10528
05:36:46,940 --> 05:36:47,640
The municipal code has a

10529
05:36:47,640 --> 05:36:48,174
section that speaks to errant

10530
05:36:48,174 --> 05:36:50,174
posting stating that

10531
05:36:52,780 --> 05:36:52,812
the posting required by the by

10532
05:36:52,812 --> 05:36:53,445
the section is intended only to

10533
05:36:53,445 --> 05:36:54,147
supplement other noticing

10534
05:36:54,147 --> 05:36:56,547
requirements of this division.

10535
05:36:58,218 --> 05:36:59,510
Understood.

10536
05:36:59,510 --> 05:37:02,651
So their problem is not a

10537
05:37:03,889 --> 05:37:04,524
legally valid problem is what

10538
05:37:04,524 --> 05:37:04,858
you're telling me that is

10539
05:37:04,858 --> 05:37:05,158
correct.

10540
05:37:05,158 --> 05:37:05,892
Okay.

10541
05:37:05,892 --> 05:37:09,492
That that municipal code I take

10542
05:37:09,795 --> 05:37:10,530
it is there's not a broader

10543
05:37:10,530 --> 05:37:10,997
concern about that or it's just

10544
05:37:10,997 --> 05:37:12,997
municipal code.

10545
05:37:14,534 --> 05:37:15,335
Is that an adoption of state

10546
05:37:15,335 --> 05:37:16,102
code or is that just our city

10547
05:37:16,102 --> 05:37:19,102
law That is our city

10548
05:37:19,238 --> 05:37:19,706
regulations.

10549
05:37:19,706 --> 05:37:20,106
Okay, Very good.

10550
05:37:20,106 --> 05:37:20,774
All right.

10551
05:37:20,774 --> 05:37:23,174
Question for the city

10552
05:37:24,644 --> 05:37:25,245
attorney's office.

10553
05:37:25,245 --> 05:37:25,911
Footnote seven obviously

10554
05:37:25,911 --> 05:37:29,511
applies as the law When this

10555
05:37:29,883 --> 05:37:32,252
development was completed its

10556
05:37:32,252 --> 05:37:35,852
application So the date it was

10557
05:37:38,190 --> 05:37:38,758
vested on just because it's

10558
05:37:38,758 --> 05:37:41,158
vested it's a complete

10559
05:37:41,628 --> 05:37:42,595
application that doesn't mean

10560
05:37:42,595 --> 05:37:46,195
that we can't deny the project

10561
05:37:47,234 --> 05:37:48,100
right?

10562
05:37:48,100 --> 05:37:50,401
>> Councilmember You can deny

10563
05:37:51,938 --> 05:37:52,772
the project however it needs to

10564
05:37:52,772 --> 05:37:53,407
You need to make those specific

10565
05:37:53,407 --> 05:37:55,807
written findings in order

10566
05:38:00,130 --> 05:38:00,881
Tonight I understood Okay.

10567
05:38:00,881 --> 05:38:01,615
One of the aspects that came up

10568
05:38:01,615 --> 05:38:02,349
was was some of the fire issues

10569
05:38:02,349 --> 05:38:06,549
I know we had the response from

10570
05:38:07,454 --> 05:38:08,121
the fire marshal and it was on

10571
05:38:08,121 --> 05:38:11,721
one of the slides It said

10572
05:38:12,959 --> 05:38:13,560
the appeal pointed out a lack

10573
05:38:13,560 --> 05:38:14,194
of an analysis and then

10574
05:38:14,194 --> 05:38:14,728
the slide said it did not

10575
05:38:14,728 --> 05:38:16,728
trigger an analysis.

10576
05:38:18,398 --> 05:38:18,899
Am I reading that correct?

10577
05:38:18,899 --> 05:38:19,566
That is correct.

10578
05:38:19,566 --> 05:38:20,670
That project did not trigger

10579
05:38:20,670 --> 05:38:22,670
further analysis.

10580
05:38:22,602 --> 05:38:23,303
Okay.

10581
05:38:23,303 --> 05:38:23,670
Why didn't it trigger further

10582
05:38:23,670 --> 05:38:24,237
analysis?

10583
05:38:24,237 --> 05:38:26,637
Because the project is

10584
05:38:27,474 --> 05:38:28,141
consistent with the community

10585
05:38:28,141 --> 05:38:30,541
plan density that was

10586
05:38:32,120 --> 05:38:32,579
prescribed from the 2015

10587
05:38:32,579 --> 05:38:33,280
Community Plan update

10588
05:38:33,280 --> 05:38:33,981
Furthermore, it was previously

10589
05:38:33,981 --> 05:38:36,381
also identified as residential

10590
05:38:37,117 --> 05:38:37,584
development in the prior 1987

10591
05:38:37,584 --> 05:38:39,584
Community Plan.

10592
05:38:40,921 --> 05:38:41,521
Okay then the 2015 Community

10593
05:38:41,521 --> 05:38:43,921
Plan update not have

10594
05:38:44,825 --> 05:38:45,692
the density is rs one seven it

10595
05:38:45,692 --> 05:38:49,463
was rs12 at the time it had

10596
05:38:49,463 --> 05:38:50,970
the prescribed density for

10597
05:38:50,970 --> 05:38:50,731
affordable units per acre.

10598
05:38:50,731 --> 05:38:53,731
The rs17 is a zoning

10599
05:38:55,200 --> 05:38:55,535
designation not identified in

10600
05:38:55,535 --> 05:38:56,170
the community plan.

10601
05:38:56,170 --> 05:38:58,570
Okay so slightly different

10602
05:38:59,573 --> 05:39:00,374
thing.

10603
05:39:00,374 --> 05:39:03,374
Explain that a little further.

10604
05:39:04,378 --> 05:39:05,110
So you're saying there's a

10605
05:39:05,110 --> 05:39:05,511
sense you said that's very

10606
05:39:05,511 --> 05:39:07,511
legally important.

10607
05:39:09,283 --> 05:39:09,983
You said the development is in

10608
05:39:09,983 --> 05:39:12,383
conformance with the 2015 plan

10609
05:39:13,720 --> 05:39:14,321
community plan.

10610
05:39:14,321 --> 05:39:14,620
>> That is correct.

10611
05:39:14,620 --> 05:39:15,455
Okay.

10612
05:39:15,455 --> 05:39:19,550
So the fact that they're taking

10613
05:39:19,359 --> 05:39:22,359
advantage of deeper density as

10614
05:39:22,396 --> 05:39:23,960
allowed under footnote seven is

10615
05:39:23,960 --> 05:39:25,496
immaterial to a determination

10616
05:39:27,167 --> 05:39:27,768
if it needs or triggers a

10617
05:39:27,768 --> 05:39:29,768
public safety analysis.

10618
05:39:31,338 --> 05:39:32,106
A report from the fire marshal

10619
05:39:32,106 --> 05:39:32,839
That is correct because it has

10620
05:39:32,839 --> 05:39:35,239
consistency with the prescribed

10621
05:39:37,244 --> 05:39:37,644
community plan density.

10622
05:39:37,644 --> 05:39:38,345
Okay.

10623
05:39:38,345 --> 05:39:41,345
So the community plan density

10624
05:39:41,448 --> 05:39:42,116
is what you set forth to all

10625
05:39:42,116 --> 05:39:45,116
for polling units per acre.

10626
05:39:45,352 --> 05:39:48,352
Footnote seven said the lot

10627
05:39:49,223 --> 05:39:49,723
sizes are 5000 at rs one to as

10628
05:39:49,723 --> 05:39:50,391
opposed to 20,000.

10629
05:39:50,391 --> 05:39:50,757
That doesn't seem to line up

10630
05:39:50,757 --> 05:39:52,757
very well.

10631
05:39:54,361 --> 05:39:57,961
Can you explain it with with

10632
05:39:57,965 --> 05:40:00,365
the calculation so 43,000ft

10633
05:40:01,769 --> 05:40:02,636
per acre and 5000 foot lots

10634
05:40:02,636 --> 05:40:06,236
that would make them match up

10635
05:40:06,507 --> 05:40:07,174
so they would match up with

10636
05:40:07,174 --> 05:40:07,641
each other at four dwelling

10637
05:40:07,641 --> 05:40:07,942
units per acre?

10638
05:40:07,942 --> 05:40:09,942
Okay.

10639
05:40:12,790 --> 05:40:13,470
My understanding is that so

10640
05:40:13,470 --> 05:40:15,216
this parcel of land is it not

10641
05:40:15,216 --> 05:40:15,850
rs one two or it is it is

10642
05:40:15,850 --> 05:40:16,183
currently zoned rs one two

10643
05:40:16,183 --> 05:40:17,284
Correct.

10644
05:40:17,284 --> 05:40:19,284
Okay.

10645
05:40:22,423 --> 05:40:23,324
Understood.

10646
05:40:23,324 --> 05:40:26,794
Let me ask you a question about

10647
05:40:26,794 --> 05:40:27,461
the some of the variances that

10648
05:40:27,461 --> 05:40:28,162
the applicant has asked for.

10649
05:40:28,162 --> 05:40:31,162
It looks like the materials

10650
05:40:31,932 --> 05:40:32,600
from Planning Commission show

10651
05:40:32,600 --> 05:40:34,600
that there's 123 residential

10652
05:40:35,302 --> 05:40:35,970
lots and 107 of them exceed

10653
05:40:35,970 --> 05:40:38,370
the city's maximum driveway

10654
05:40:39,306 --> 05:40:40,241
curb opening standard.

10655
05:40:40,241 --> 05:40:43,241
>> Can you explain what that

10656
05:40:44,678 --> 05:40:45,446
means That was proposed so that

10657
05:40:45,446 --> 05:40:48,482
they would be able to have two

10658
05:40:48,482 --> 05:40:49,283
vehicles parked in the driveway

10659
05:40:49,283 --> 05:40:52,283
and our regulations would limit

10660
05:40:53,153 --> 05:40:53,854
the driveway with opening to

10661
05:40:53,854 --> 05:40:54,154
20ft where they're requesting

10662
05:40:54,154 --> 05:40:56,154
22ft.

10663
05:40:58,459 --> 05:40:59,192
>> Okay.

10664
05:40:59,192 --> 05:40:59,593
Does that have any impact on

10665
05:40:59,593 --> 05:41:00,461
fire safety?

10666
05:41:00,461 --> 05:41:02,463
Does that have any impact on

10667
05:41:02,463 --> 05:41:03,130
public safety?

10668
05:41:03,130 --> 05:41:03,497
That would require a deeper

10669
05:41:03,497 --> 05:41:05,497
analysis.

10670
05:41:07,301 --> 05:41:08,200
It sounds to me like we're

10671
05:41:08,200 --> 05:41:08,603
deviating from something that

10672
05:41:08,603 --> 05:41:11,300
is required citywide and

10673
05:41:12,720 --> 05:41:12,407
allowing a special adjustment

10674
05:41:12,407 --> 05:41:13,600
here.

10675
05:41:13,600 --> 05:41:13,741
>> It would actually

10676
05:41:13,741 --> 05:41:17,341
the purpose of it would be

10677
05:41:17,345 --> 05:41:17,978
actually to remove vehicles

10678
05:41:17,978 --> 05:41:20,378
from city streets, right?

10679
05:41:22,183 --> 05:41:22,884
So that would make more

10680
05:41:22,884 --> 05:41:23,584
availability onto the streets

10681
05:41:23,584 --> 05:41:24,850
and bring those vehicles onto

10682
05:41:24,850 --> 05:41:24,452
private property.

10683
05:41:24,452 --> 05:41:26,452
Okay.

10684
05:41:29,991 --> 05:41:31,991
Understood.

10685
05:41:32,590 --> 05:41:33,270
Let's really let's talk about

10686
05:41:33,270 --> 05:41:36,270
the 2015 programatic year for a

10687
05:41:37,831 --> 05:41:39,831
second.

10688
05:41:42,270 --> 05:41:42,970
>> Is that the basis for which

10689
05:41:42,970 --> 05:41:43,738
there wasn't the is that part

10690
05:41:43,738 --> 05:41:47,740
of the answer to why there

10691
05:41:47,740 --> 05:41:47,742
wasn't the additional public

10692
05:41:47,742 --> 05:41:50,142
safety analysis that that

10693
05:41:51,546 --> 05:41:52,180
that's the programmatic air was

10694
05:41:52,180 --> 05:41:55,180
part of the community plan

10695
05:41:56,117 --> 05:41:56,551
update that you talked about in

10696
05:41:56,551 --> 05:41:57,180
2015, correct?

10697
05:41:57,180 --> 05:41:57,785
That is correct.

10698
05:41:57,785 --> 05:42:00,785
And we do have environmental

10699
05:42:01,489 --> 05:42:02,125
staff here that reviewed

10700
05:42:02,125 --> 05:42:02,790
the project that would be

10701
05:42:02,790 --> 05:42:05,893
answer that will be able to

10702
05:42:05,893 --> 05:42:06,193
answer more detailed questions

10703
05:42:06,193 --> 05:42:08,193
.

10704
05:42:10,231 --> 05:42:11,990
Okay.

10705
05:42:11,990 --> 05:42:11,799
Hi, this is Donna marshall with

10706
05:42:11,799 --> 05:42:13,799
Environmental Analysis Section

10707
05:42:15,470 --> 05:42:16,136
of dsd.

10708
05:42:16,136 --> 05:42:16,504
>> Can you repeat your

10709
05:42:16,504 --> 05:42:16,871
question?

10710
05:42:16,871 --> 05:42:18,871
I'm sorry.

10711
05:42:20,800 --> 05:42:20,641
Certainly So one of the reasons

10712
05:42:20,641 --> 05:42:23,641
we're not seeing a deeper

10713
05:42:24,511 --> 05:42:25,246
public safety analysis or

10714
05:42:25,246 --> 05:42:25,813
report that wasn't triggered is

10715
05:42:25,813 --> 05:42:26,381
because of the saying

10716
05:42:26,381 --> 05:42:28,781
the application is in

10717
05:42:29,818 --> 05:42:30,485
conformance with the 2015

10718
05:42:30,485 --> 05:42:33,485
community plan And there's a

10719
05:42:34,389 --> 05:42:35,890
programmatic air that went with

10720
05:42:35,890 --> 05:42:35,423
that community plan, correct?

10721
05:42:35,423 --> 05:42:35,723
Correct.

10722
05:42:35,723 --> 05:42:37,723
Okay.

10723
05:42:39,327 --> 05:42:43,527
So we're using that air at that

10724
05:42:43,865 --> 05:42:44,465
time to set the environmental

10725
05:42:44,465 --> 05:42:44,866
standards for this area.

10726
05:42:44,866 --> 05:42:46,866
>> Correct.

10727
05:42:48,703 --> 05:42:51,703
And this project was reviewed

10728
05:42:53,308 --> 05:42:53,641
under that program air Correct

10729
05:42:53,641 --> 05:42:54,410
.

10730
05:42:54,410 --> 05:42:54,776
>> Okay.

10731
05:42:54,776 --> 05:42:58,376
If the density that was creat

10732
05:42:58,680 --> 05:42:59,280
that is being allowed under

10733
05:42:59,280 --> 05:43:01,680
footnote seven had been

10734
05:43:02,383 --> 05:43:03,840
included or actually been

10735
05:43:03,840 --> 05:43:03,785
incorporated into the plan in

10736
05:43:03,785 --> 05:43:05,785
2015, would that programmatic

10737
05:43:07,722 --> 05:43:08,423
air have had anything

10738
05:43:08,423 --> 05:43:09,156
potentially different about it

10739
05:43:09,156 --> 05:43:12,756
given how many more homes would

10740
05:43:14,462 --> 05:43:15,330
have been allowed in the area?

10741
05:43:15,330 --> 05:43:18,330
So this project is consistent

10742
05:43:19,433 --> 05:43:20,301
with the land use designation

10743
05:43:20,301 --> 05:43:23,901
for this site which is 0 to 4

10744
05:43:23,972 --> 05:43:24,672
units per acre And so this

10745
05:43:24,672 --> 05:43:27,720
project density was considered

10746
05:43:29,176 --> 05:43:29,544
within that air and so there is

10747
05:43:29,544 --> 05:43:29,911
no change.

10748
05:43:29,911 --> 05:43:31,911
>> Okay.

10749
05:43:33,581 --> 05:43:34,449
So what I'm hearing is that

10750
05:43:34,449 --> 05:43:36,849
what's being proposed whether

10751
05:43:37,752 --> 05:43:38,386
footnote seven was passed or

10752
05:43:38,386 --> 05:43:38,887
not wouldn't be allowed or

10753
05:43:38,887 --> 05:43:40,887
would be allowed.

10754
05:43:42,857 --> 05:43:43,424
So footnote seven is immaterial

10755
05:43:43,424 --> 05:43:43,992
to this in this entire

10756
05:43:43,992 --> 05:43:45,227
discussion right now.

10757
05:43:45,227 --> 05:43:47,227
>> Correct?

10758
05:44:03,712 --> 05:44:04,412
Okay.

10759
05:44:04,412 --> 05:44:07,412
And Councilmember Campo and I

10760
05:44:08,350 --> 05:44:09,116
think probably the question is

10761
05:44:09,116 --> 05:44:09,784
that were alluding to is would

10762
05:44:09,784 --> 05:44:13,384
the project be able to move

10763
05:44:13,524 --> 05:44:13,922
forward regardless of footnote

10764
05:44:13,922 --> 05:44:14,222
seven Right.

10765
05:44:14,222 --> 05:44:14,923
Okay.

10766
05:44:14,923 --> 05:44:17,923
To address that question yes.

10767
05:44:18,460 --> 05:44:19,600
The project is consistent with

10768
05:44:19,600 --> 05:44:21,460
a community plan density

10769
05:44:22,163 --> 05:44:22,797
the prescribed density at 0 to

10770
05:44:22,797 --> 05:44:23,632
4 dwelling units per acre.

10771
05:44:23,632 --> 05:44:26,834
>> The project would be able to

10772
05:44:26,834 --> 05:44:27,469
move forward but it would have

10773
05:44:27,469 --> 05:44:28,360
to go through a different

10774
05:44:28,360 --> 05:44:30,360
avenue allowed through

10775
05:44:31,239 --> 05:44:32,107
the municipal code.

10776
05:44:32,107 --> 05:44:32,774
>> What avenue would that be?

10777
05:44:32,774 --> 05:44:35,774
So through the provision of

10778
05:44:36,378 --> 05:44:37,179
density bonus the project would

10779
05:44:37,179 --> 05:44:37,511
be able to be able to move

10780
05:44:37,511 --> 05:44:38,180
forward.

10781
05:44:38,180 --> 05:44:41,180
The difference being here is

10782
05:44:41,583 --> 05:44:42,250
that if they moved forward that

10783
05:44:42,250 --> 05:44:45,250
direction they would have to

10784
05:44:45,753 --> 05:44:46,154
request additional incentives

10785
05:44:46,154 --> 05:44:46,488
and waivers.

10786
05:44:46,488 --> 05:44:48,488
>> Okay.

10787
05:44:50,425 --> 05:44:51,126
So I guess there's this seems

10788
05:44:51,126 --> 05:44:51,960
pretty confusing to me that a

10789
05:44:51,960 --> 05:44:55,560
lot of what I understand this

10790
05:44:55,664 --> 05:44:56,331
project to be utilizing is

10791
05:44:56,331 --> 05:44:56,765
footnote seven to get where

10792
05:44:56,765 --> 05:44:58,633
they're going.

10793
05:44:58,633 --> 05:44:59,334
But you're saying they don't

10794
05:44:59,334 --> 05:45:02,334
use footnote seven at all.

10795
05:45:02,804 --> 05:45:03,605
They are using footnote seven

10796
05:45:03,605 --> 05:45:04,373
for this project but there are

10797
05:45:04,373 --> 05:45:07,809
other avenues to get to this

10798
05:45:07,809 --> 05:45:08,310
project without the utilization

10799
05:45:08,310 --> 05:45:08,610
of footnote seven.

10800
05:45:08,610 --> 05:45:10,610
Okay.

10801
05:45:12,347 --> 05:45:13,140
So I do Okay that's important

10802
05:45:13,140 --> 05:45:16,614
because what I had just been

10803
05:45:17,853 --> 05:45:18,520
hearing was that this would be

10804
05:45:18,520 --> 05:45:19,221
allowed under footnote seven

10805
05:45:19,221 --> 05:45:19,922
without footnote seven at all

10806
05:45:19,922 --> 05:45:22,240
And you're saying they do use

10807
05:45:22,240 --> 05:45:22,391
footnote seven So that's

10808
05:45:22,391 --> 05:45:22,691
important.

10809
05:45:22,691 --> 05:45:24,691
Okay.

10810
05:45:26,128 --> 05:45:26,795
If footnote seven were never

10811
05:45:26,795 --> 05:45:27,396
part of it and they use

10812
05:45:27,396 --> 05:45:29,396
the alternative methods

10813
05:45:30,933 --> 05:45:31,600
the bonus density issues would

10814
05:45:31,600 --> 05:45:32,334
that have then through that

10815
05:45:32,334 --> 05:45:34,734
process triggered public safety

10816
05:45:35,370 --> 05:45:35,738
analysis that was not triggered

10817
05:45:35,738 --> 05:45:36,237
in this situation or is that

10818
05:45:36,237 --> 05:45:38,237
still immaterial?

10819
05:45:39,174 --> 05:45:39,875
It's still immaterial because

10820
05:45:39,875 --> 05:45:40,375
it's within the prescribed

10821
05:45:40,375 --> 05:45:40,942
density allowed by

10822
05:45:40,942 --> 05:45:43,342
the community plan and

10823
05:45:44,846 --> 05:45:45,547
reflected in the program air

10824
05:45:45,547 --> 05:45:48,547
for the community plan update

10825
05:45:49,510 --> 05:45:49,752
Why would the applicant want to

10826
05:45:49,752 --> 05:45:50,419
use footnote seven instead of

10827
05:45:50,419 --> 05:45:53,419
the other avenue that you

10828
05:45:53,922 --> 05:45:54,590
mentioned?

10829
05:45:54,590 --> 05:45:56,990
>> I will defer to

10830
05:45:58,393 --> 05:46:01,993
the applicant on that Sorry are

10831
05:46:03,766 --> 05:46:04,700
you following my logic?

10832
05:46:04,700 --> 05:46:05,334
And they used to think well I

10833
05:46:05,334 --> 05:46:07,734
can answer that question.

10834
05:46:08,304 --> 05:46:08,971
Thank you MR. Boyd When we file

10835
05:46:08,971 --> 05:46:10,971
applications any application

10836
05:46:12,708 --> 05:46:13,342
it's implied that we're going

10837
05:46:13,342 --> 05:46:14,900
to follow the law, follow

10838
05:46:14,900 --> 05:46:16,845
the rules, the standards and

10839
05:46:16,845 --> 05:46:17,379
regulations of the city as

10840
05:46:17,379 --> 05:46:18,180
the case here today.

10841
05:46:18,180 --> 05:46:21,180
So when we provided our

10842
05:46:22,251 --> 05:46:25,251
applications it was under then

10843
05:46:26,422 --> 05:46:28,822
the footnote seven which

10844
05:46:29,725 --> 05:46:30,226
allowed minimum lot sizes of

10845
05:46:30,226 --> 05:46:30,927
5000ft.

10846
05:46:30,927 --> 05:46:33,327
But the overriding iteration

10847
05:46:34,529 --> 05:46:35,231
under the program document is

10848
05:46:35,231 --> 05:46:38,831
you're limited up to a maximum

10849
05:46:38,901 --> 05:46:39,768
of four units per unit.

10850
05:46:39,768 --> 05:46:43,968
So as long as we stayed within

10851
05:46:44,720 --> 05:46:44,807
the approved density we went

10852
05:46:44,807 --> 05:46:45,574
with what was on the zoning

10853
05:46:45,574 --> 05:46:48,574
books we would not have

10854
05:46:49,645 --> 05:46:50,478
considered a density bonus.

10855
05:46:50,478 --> 05:46:53,478
We intended to satisfy our

10856
05:46:54,917 --> 05:46:55,584
needs with what was being

10857
05:46:55,584 --> 05:46:56,117
provided to us through your

10858
05:46:56,117 --> 05:46:58,517
zoning at the time.

10859
05:47:01,756 --> 05:47:02,525
>> Okay so we had two avenues

10860
05:47:02,525 --> 05:47:06,125
to for this applicant to get

10861
05:47:06,594 --> 05:47:06,996
their project through is what

10862
05:47:06,996 --> 05:47:07,963
I'm hearing.

10863
05:47:07,963 --> 05:47:11,667
That is correct but we do not

10864
05:47:11,667 --> 05:47:12,301
give applicants alternatives to

10865
05:47:12,301 --> 05:47:15,301
get to their end product.

10866
05:47:17,380 --> 05:47:17,773
We review the projects as they

10867
05:47:17,773 --> 05:47:20,176
are submitted So if the project

10868
05:47:20,176 --> 05:47:20,876
came in utilizing footnote

10869
05:47:20,876 --> 05:47:21,310
seven that is what staff based

10870
05:47:21,310 --> 05:47:21,644
our review on.

10871
05:47:21,644 --> 05:47:23,644
>> Okay.

10872
05:47:25,513 --> 05:47:26,215
From your perspective what

10873
05:47:26,215 --> 05:47:26,816
going through the other avenue

10874
05:47:26,816 --> 05:47:27,483
have been more difficult

10875
05:47:27,483 --> 05:47:29,883
triggered different types of

10876
05:47:30,253 --> 05:47:32,653
laws the density bonus

10877
05:47:34,223 --> 05:47:34,924
regulation in this particular

10878
05:47:34,924 --> 05:47:35,457
case would not have triggered

10879
05:47:35,457 --> 05:47:37,457
anything additional.

10880
05:47:39,462 --> 05:47:40,129
The key point here is that

10881
05:47:40,129 --> 05:47:42,529
the developer regardless of

10882
05:47:44,320 --> 05:47:44,800
which avenue they went they

10883
05:47:44,800 --> 05:47:45,368
chose not to take a density

10884
05:47:45,368 --> 05:47:47,768
bonus for the project.

10885
05:47:49,710 --> 05:47:49,472
Okay.

10886
05:47:49,472 --> 05:47:50,238
All right.

10887
05:47:50,238 --> 05:47:50,706
We still have a minute 45 I'll

10888
05:47:50,706 --> 05:47:51,730
reserve my time.

10889
05:47:51,730 --> 05:47:53,730
Thank you.

10890
05:47:54,544 --> 05:47:54,910
Council PRESIDENT All right.

10891
05:47:54,910 --> 05:47:55,511
Thank you.

10892
05:47:55,511 --> 05:47:56,311
Council member Kim Peel.

10893
05:47:56,311 --> 05:47:59,911
We'll go next to council member

10894
05:48:00,950 --> 05:48:01,350
Eli Rivera.

10895
05:48:01,350 --> 05:48:02,180
All right.

10896
05:48:02,180 --> 05:48:02,685
Thank you Council PRESIDENT.

10897
05:48:02,685 --> 05:48:05,621
Appreciate all the work from

10898
05:48:05,621 --> 05:48:08,621
staff on this the engagement

10899
05:48:10,226 --> 05:48:10,927
from and with community

10900
05:48:10,927 --> 05:48:11,627
Councilor Foster thank you for

10901
05:48:11,627 --> 05:48:14,270
your and your team's

10902
05:48:17,166 --> 05:48:18,233
considerable work on this.

10903
05:48:18,233 --> 05:48:18,934
I, I just wanted to speak to a

10904
05:48:18,934 --> 05:48:21,771
couple of things that came up

10905
05:48:21,771 --> 05:48:22,472
during the conversation here

10906
05:48:22,472 --> 05:48:24,872
And the first is

10907
05:48:27,576 --> 05:48:29,976
the acknowledgment that there

10908
05:48:32,150 --> 05:48:32,514
are long term consequences for

10909
05:48:32,514 --> 05:48:34,514
the disrespect and

10910
05:48:36,853 --> 05:48:38,853
disinvestment from communities

10911
05:48:42,225 --> 05:48:46,425
and that is valid and real And

10912
05:48:46,496 --> 05:48:47,263
the city of San Diego suffers

10913
05:48:47,263 --> 05:48:47,964
as a result of that in

10914
05:48:47,964 --> 05:48:49,964
neighborhoods throughout this

10915
05:48:58,975 --> 05:49:03,175
city And that is a tragedy that

10916
05:49:04,247 --> 05:49:05,140
will take many, many years to

10917
05:49:05,140 --> 05:49:08,614
even make amends for because it

10918
05:49:08,985 --> 05:49:09,686
can't be undone And it makes

10919
05:49:09,686 --> 05:49:12,860
conversations about the future

10920
05:49:14,124 --> 05:49:14,657
more difficult because how are

10921
05:49:14,657 --> 05:49:17,570
folks to trust that

10922
05:49:18,628 --> 05:49:19,262
the commitments being made will

10923
05:49:19,262 --> 05:49:19,930
actually follow through to

10924
05:49:19,930 --> 05:49:22,930
follow through on if that's

10925
05:49:25,935 --> 05:49:26,268
never been the case in the past

10926
05:49:26,268 --> 05:49:27,700
.

10927
05:49:27,700 --> 05:49:30,407
So I want to acknowledge all of

10928
05:49:30,407 --> 05:49:31,273
that At the same time what we

10929
05:49:31,273 --> 05:49:35,450
what we have in front of us I

10930
05:49:35,450 --> 05:49:35,845
think is is is really important

10931
05:49:35,845 --> 05:49:40,450
for where the city is trying to

10932
05:49:40,483 --> 05:49:44,830
go and where when I hear

10933
05:49:47,724 --> 05:49:48,692
Councilmember Foster speak to

10934
05:49:48,692 --> 05:49:51,995
the way that housing was was

10935
05:49:51,995 --> 05:49:54,995
provided the stability that it

10936
05:49:57,100 --> 05:49:57,701
provided for your family I

10937
05:49:57,701 --> 05:49:58,602
think I think about MS..

10938
05:49:58,602 --> 05:50:02,202
Nash his comments and I don't

10939
05:50:02,672 --> 05:50:03,205
think there is a single time I

10940
05:50:03,205 --> 05:50:04,700
have spoken to MS..

10941
05:50:04,700 --> 05:50:06,943
Nash where she hasn't talked to

10942
05:50:06,943 --> 05:50:07,644
the district for Councilmember

10943
05:50:07,644 --> 05:50:09,346
Foster before I even knew you

10944
05:50:09,346 --> 05:50:13,546
or you knew me I was watching

10945
05:50:14,450 --> 05:50:15,118
you stick up for District four

10946
05:50:15,118 --> 05:50:17,518
and demand better for

10947
05:50:19,389 --> 05:50:22,389
the community And it's it

10948
05:50:22,692 --> 05:50:25,920
happens every single day.

10949
05:50:29,999 --> 05:50:30,700
We're on this dais with an

10950
05:50:30,700 --> 05:50:31,368
unwillingness to to compromise

10951
05:50:31,368 --> 05:50:34,968
because of the way you love

10952
05:50:35,710 --> 05:50:36,106
your community.

10953
05:50:36,106 --> 05:50:39,609
And what I heard you say when I

10954
05:50:39,609 --> 05:50:40,444
heard MS..

10955
05:50:40,444 --> 05:50:41,144
Nash say and I heard others say

10956
05:50:41,144 --> 05:50:44,144
is something that people are

10957
05:50:44,181 --> 05:50:44,881
wrestling with in multiple

10958
05:50:44,881 --> 05:50:45,549
parts of this city And it's

10959
05:50:45,549 --> 05:50:47,949
the realization that without

10960
05:50:49,386 --> 05:50:52,386
more housing the generations to

10961
05:50:53,824 --> 05:50:54,491
come will not have an

10962
05:50:54,491 --> 05:50:55,192
opportunity to stay in this

10963
05:50:55,192 --> 05:50:57,728
city and they'll certainly not

10964
05:50:57,728 --> 05:50:58,394
have an opportunity to stay in

10965
05:50:58,394 --> 05:51:00,794
the neighborhoods that they

10966
05:51:10,374 --> 05:51:11,730
grew up in And I that is that

10967
05:51:11,730 --> 05:51:11,674
is incredibly compelling to me

10968
05:51:11,674 --> 05:51:14,740
because I didn't have

10969
05:51:15,579 --> 05:51:16,213
the opportunity to stay in one

10970
05:51:16,213 --> 05:51:18,613
neighborhood for my entire

10971
05:51:20,684 --> 05:51:21,652
childhood And I see what that

10972
05:51:21,652 --> 05:51:25,522
means to folks who did And and

10973
05:51:25,522 --> 05:51:29,122
it's special And to write off

10974
05:51:30,160 --> 05:51:30,894
my generation and the next

10975
05:51:30,894 --> 05:51:31,361
generation the generation after

10976
05:51:31,361 --> 05:51:33,361
that from having

10977
05:51:34,431 --> 05:51:35,198
the opportunity to go to to to

10978
05:51:35,198 --> 05:51:35,933
raise their own kids in

10979
05:51:35,933 --> 05:51:38,933
the communities where they grew

10980
05:51:40,170 --> 05:51:44,241
up is is an injustice in its

10981
05:51:44,241 --> 05:51:45,800
own in its own form.

10982
05:51:45,800 --> 05:51:47,408
>> I think community character

10983
05:51:49,460 --> 05:51:49,847
comes from people and people

10984
05:51:49,847 --> 05:51:50,614
need homes and they will not

10985
05:51:50,614 --> 05:51:53,750
have homes if more homes are

10986
05:51:53,750 --> 05:51:54,518
not built.

10987
05:51:54,518 --> 05:51:57,518
And to anyone who's questioning

10988
05:51:57,855 --> 05:51:58,554
the affordability of these

10989
05:51:58,554 --> 05:51:58,822
homes, I'm right there with

10990
05:51:58,822 --> 05:52:00,822
you.

10991
05:52:02,326 --> 05:52:03,359
Housing is too expensive.

10992
05:52:03,359 --> 05:52:06,959
>> There is no cheap housing in

10993
05:52:07,430 --> 05:52:09,430
San Diego.

10994
05:52:21,612 --> 05:52:25,812
You can just I'm going to pause

10995
05:52:35,693 --> 05:52:39,293
for a moment, take my time.

10996
05:52:40,731 --> 05:52:41,398
Foster has been absolutely

10997
05:52:41,398 --> 05:52:44,398
uncompromising in the in his

10998
05:52:45,169 --> 05:52:45,869
expectation that what is built

10999
05:52:45,869 --> 05:52:49,469
in his community is a quality

11000
05:52:50,107 --> 05:52:50,975
and is not a replication of

11001
05:52:50,975 --> 05:52:53,975
the past practice of allowing

11002
05:52:55,445 --> 05:52:56,470
anything to be built anywhere

11003
05:52:56,470 --> 05:52:56,714
to the point where we've

11004
05:52:56,714 --> 05:52:59,114
actually disagreed at times

11005
05:53:00,170 --> 05:53:00,417
about the need to create more

11006
05:53:00,417 --> 05:53:02,417
opportunity.

11007
05:53:04,388 --> 05:53:07,988
I see what's presented here and

11008
05:53:09,193 --> 05:53:09,894
what I am very confident of is

11009
05:53:09,894 --> 05:53:13,297
that if those homes are built

11010
05:53:13,297 --> 05:53:14,980
and families move in them it

11011
05:53:14,980 --> 05:53:14,865
will be the realization of a

11012
05:53:14,865 --> 05:53:17,865
dream for those families and

11013
05:53:19,136 --> 05:53:19,837
the opportunity to plant roots

11014
05:53:19,837 --> 05:53:22,237
similar to what Councilmember

11015
05:53:24,800 --> 05:53:24,642
Foster and others who love

11016
05:53:24,642 --> 05:53:27,642
District four and love San

11017
05:53:28,379 --> 05:53:29,180
Diego have been able to plan

11018
05:53:29,180 --> 05:53:29,847
And I think that's a really

11019
05:53:29,847 --> 05:53:32,847
good thing And I will

11020
05:53:33,818 --> 05:53:34,251
acknowledge again that change

11021
05:53:34,251 --> 05:53:34,885
is difficult.

11022
05:53:34,885 --> 05:53:37,885
I will engage again that

11023
05:53:38,589 --> 05:53:40,989
district for southeastern San

11024
05:53:43,294 --> 05:53:43,994
Diego and other parts of

11025
05:53:43,994 --> 05:53:44,695
the city have been done wrong

11026
05:53:44,695 --> 05:53:47,631
by the city and by done wrong

11027
05:53:47,631 --> 05:53:48,232
by others for far too long.

11028
05:53:48,232 --> 05:53:48,933
But that doesn't change

11029
05:53:48,933 --> 05:53:52,360
the merits of what's in front

11030
05:53:52,360 --> 05:53:52,537
of us The legality of what's in

11031
05:53:52,537 --> 05:53:53,304
front of us.

11032
05:53:53,304 --> 05:53:53,938
And so for those reasons I'll

11033
05:53:53,938 --> 05:53:56,338
be supporting the motion.

11034
05:53:56,807 --> 05:53:57,208
Thank you.

11035
05:53:57,208 --> 05:53:57,575
All right.

11036
05:53:57,575 --> 05:53:58,209
Thank you.

11037
05:53:58,209 --> 05:53:59,100
Council member Eli Rivera.

11038
05:53:59,100 --> 05:54:02,100
We'll go next to Council

11039
05:54:02,413 --> 05:54:03,147
PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee Thank

11040
05:54:03,147 --> 05:54:03,848
Council PRESIDENT And first off

11041
05:54:03,848 --> 05:54:06,651
I want to thank Councilmember

11042
05:54:06,651 --> 05:54:07,351
Foster for taking the time to

11043
05:54:07,351 --> 05:54:08,850
walk through numerous aspects

11044
05:54:08,850 --> 05:54:11,685
of the project and the proposed

11045
05:54:11,722 --> 05:54:12,423
appeal and hitting on a lot of

11046
05:54:12,423 --> 05:54:15,423
questions I'm sure folks want

11047
05:54:15,593 --> 05:54:16,293
to ask as well that was

11048
05:54:16,293 --> 05:54:17,610
appreciated and I will thank

11049
05:54:17,610 --> 05:54:20,610
you also for taking on

11050
05:54:21,165 --> 05:54:21,866
the repeal of Footnote seven

11051
05:54:21,866 --> 05:54:24,866
and ultimately mapping out for

11052
05:54:25,503 --> 05:54:26,204
us today the timeline of how

11053
05:54:26,204 --> 05:54:26,904
that came about But also again

11054
05:54:26,904 --> 05:54:29,304
speaking frankly about your

11055
05:54:31,420 --> 05:54:31,709
approach when it comes to

11056
05:54:31,709 --> 05:54:34,109
addressing minimum lot sizes

11057
05:54:35,313 --> 05:54:36,130
because I think that's an issue

11058
05:54:36,130 --> 05:54:36,714
that was easily lost in

11059
05:54:36,714 --> 05:54:39,114
the footnote seven discussion

11060
05:54:40,385 --> 05:54:41,520
but still important I think

11061
05:54:41,520 --> 05:54:41,586
that Councilmember Foster's

11062
05:54:41,586 --> 05:54:43,986
push back with this

11063
05:54:45,556 --> 05:54:46,194
administration shown is also

11064
05:54:46,194 --> 05:54:46,824
what sparked the effort to

11065
05:54:46,824 --> 05:54:49,224
reevaluate the two density

11066
05:54:49,760 --> 05:54:50,561
bonus program and whether folks

11067
05:54:50,561 --> 05:54:54,761
like the result of that or not

11068
05:54:54,799 --> 05:54:55,399
we certainly didn't even all

11069
05:54:55,399 --> 05:54:58,399
agree here on this dais.

11070
05:54:59,437 --> 05:55:00,104
He sparked that effort.

11071
05:55:00,104 --> 05:55:00,805
Councilmember Foster and I

11072
05:55:00,805 --> 05:55:03,805
don't always agree on every

11073
05:55:04,208 --> 05:55:04,909
land use issue but what I'm

11074
05:55:04,909 --> 05:55:06,909
always consistently confident

11075
05:55:08,947 --> 05:55:09,581
of is that he's continuously

11076
05:55:09,581 --> 05:55:11,981
prioritizing the needs of

11077
05:55:14,180 --> 05:55:14,719
district for as council Mary

11078
05:55:14,719 --> 05:55:17,719
Lou Rivera shared and nothing

11079
05:55:18,289 --> 05:55:18,956
seems more consistent with that

11080
05:55:18,956 --> 05:55:19,657
than his office's continual

11081
05:55:19,657 --> 05:55:23,160
push not just for housing for

11082
05:55:23,160 --> 05:55:23,728
the sake of housing but for

11083
05:55:23,728 --> 05:55:24,262
economic opportunities

11084
05:55:24,262 --> 05:55:26,262
specifically through

11085
05:55:27,798 --> 05:55:28,633
homeownership opportunities.

11086
05:55:28,633 --> 05:55:32,233
>> So we've we talked a lot

11087
05:55:32,237 --> 05:55:33,370
today about footnote seven and

11088
05:55:33,370 --> 05:55:36,708
I think we heard it from staff

11089
05:55:36,708 --> 05:55:37,508
with some of the questions here

11090
05:55:37,508 --> 05:55:41,108
that even if Footnote seven was

11091
05:55:41,379 --> 05:55:42,470
not utilized, my understanding

11092
05:55:42,470 --> 05:55:42,747
is that the property owner

11093
05:55:42,747 --> 05:55:43,414
would still have the right to

11094
05:55:43,414 --> 05:55:46,184
build housing and perhaps it

11095
05:55:46,184 --> 05:55:46,851
would be fewer units of housing

11096
05:55:46,851 --> 05:55:49,851
And I could understand that

11097
05:55:51,122 --> 05:55:51,823
argument if that's why

11098
05:55:51,823 --> 05:55:52,289
the focus on footnote seven is

11099
05:55:52,289 --> 05:55:52,924
so significant.

11100
05:55:52,924 --> 05:55:55,924
Yet the appeal we've heard

11101
05:55:56,270 --> 05:55:56,728
today doesn't seem to suggest

11102
05:55:56,728 --> 05:55:59,728
that less homes would somehow

11103
05:56:00,965 --> 05:56:01,499
solve the concerns that have

11104
05:56:01,499 --> 05:56:03,499
been brought about.

11105
05:56:04,600 --> 05:56:04,761
Instead what I'm hearing is

11106
05:56:04,761 --> 05:56:08,361
that even the idea of putting

11107
05:56:09,980 --> 05:56:09,799
housing on land that is zoned

11108
05:56:09,799 --> 05:56:12,799
specifically for this type of

11109
05:56:13,936 --> 05:56:14,570
very low density housing is

11110
05:56:14,570 --> 05:56:16,970
somehow unacceptable And I

11111
05:56:18,975 --> 05:56:19,776
totally disagree.

11112
05:56:19,776 --> 05:56:20,750
We are in a housing crisis

11113
05:56:20,750 --> 05:56:20,642
again.

11114
05:56:20,642 --> 05:56:23,420
Not everyone likes to

11115
05:56:23,279 --> 05:56:23,980
acknowledge it but there

11116
05:56:23,980 --> 05:56:24,647
remains a particular need for

11117
05:56:24,647 --> 05:56:26,647
homeownership opportunities

11118
05:56:28,684 --> 05:56:29,385
across the city and especially

11119
05:56:29,385 --> 05:56:30,190
as we continue to discuss how

11120
05:56:30,190 --> 05:56:32,419
much new housing across

11121
05:56:33,323 --> 05:56:34,230
the city is rental units It

11122
05:56:34,230 --> 05:56:37,623
feels like we used to talk

11123
05:56:38,628 --> 05:56:39,396
about the American dream.

11124
05:56:39,396 --> 05:56:40,630
I grew up certainly with this

11125
05:56:40,630 --> 05:56:40,763
idea that if you get a good

11126
05:56:40,763 --> 05:56:43,799
education you can find a good

11127
05:56:43,799 --> 05:56:44,434
job, you can save up money, buy

11128
05:56:44,434 --> 05:56:44,768
a home, eventually start a

11129
05:56:44,768 --> 05:56:46,768
family.

11130
05:56:48,538 --> 05:56:49,239
And for young people today I

11131
05:56:49,239 --> 05:56:49,673
think it truly is nothing but

11132
05:56:49,673 --> 05:56:50,407
just a dream.

11133
05:56:50,407 --> 05:56:53,407
It's further away than ever

11134
05:56:53,443 --> 05:56:54,110
before not just because of

11135
05:56:54,110 --> 05:56:54,911
the high cost of living but

11136
05:56:54,911 --> 05:56:58,414
because of our lack of housing

11137
05:56:58,414 --> 05:56:59,810
availability and as a result of

11138
05:56:59,810 --> 05:56:59,949
it the affordability of it.

11139
05:56:59,949 --> 05:57:02,819
And so today we're hearing a

11140
05:57:02,819 --> 05:57:03,486
project that proposes

11141
05:57:03,486 --> 05:57:05,886
the lowest possible density

11142
05:57:06,989 --> 05:57:07,657
threshold for housing 0 to 4

11143
05:57:07,657 --> 05:57:08,358
dwelling units an acre that

11144
05:57:08,358 --> 05:57:11,358
will provide for sale single

11145
05:57:11,862 --> 05:57:12,596
family homeownership

11146
05:57:12,596 --> 05:57:13,229
opportunities and that includes

11147
05:57:13,229 --> 05:57:15,229
deed restricted affordable

11148
05:57:16,833 --> 05:57:20,433
housing on site And we still

11149
05:57:21,538 --> 05:57:21,938
have that opposition which is

11150
05:57:21,938 --> 05:57:22,539
perplexing.

11151
05:57:22,539 --> 05:57:24,939
i understand and hear

11152
05:57:26,577 --> 05:57:27,377
the community is argument and

11153
05:57:27,377 --> 05:57:30,377
why many residents would argue

11154
05:57:31,347 --> 05:57:32,150
that this would have made an

11155
05:57:32,150 --> 05:57:32,716
excellent public park And in

11156
05:57:32,716 --> 05:57:36,316
fact I think you're right in

11157
05:57:36,386 --> 05:57:37,540
noting that the city must have

11158
05:57:37,540 --> 05:57:37,721
agreed with that in the 2015

11159
05:57:37,721 --> 05:57:39,222
community plan when it threw

11160
05:57:39,222 --> 05:57:42,822
out the possibility of for that

11161
05:57:44,394 --> 05:57:45,620
even this is without a doubt

11162
05:57:45,620 --> 05:57:45,729
from everything we've heard

11163
05:57:45,729 --> 05:57:48,999
from each of you a community

11164
05:57:48,999 --> 05:57:49,699
that legitimately needs

11165
05:57:49,699 --> 05:57:51,699
additional infrastructure, it

11166
05:57:53,770 --> 05:57:54,437
needs more park space.

11167
05:57:54,437 --> 05:57:54,938
That deficiency for parks is

11168
05:57:54,938 --> 05:57:57,338
not unique to you.

11169
05:57:58,976 --> 05:57:59,642
It is across the entire city

11170
05:57:59,642 --> 05:58:00,343
And in fact in my home

11171
05:58:00,343 --> 05:58:03,113
community here, Mesa when that

11172
05:58:03,113 --> 05:58:03,814
plan update was passed some

11173
05:58:03,814 --> 05:58:04,448
years ago it was perhaps

11174
05:58:04,448 --> 05:58:05,182
the biggest issue that was

11175
05:58:05,182 --> 05:58:07,851
brought up and that was in a

11176
05:58:07,851 --> 05:58:08,619
community where we were

11177
05:58:08,619 --> 05:58:11,619
proposing to add up to 24,000

11178
05:58:13,256 --> 05:58:14,191
housing units.

11179
05:58:14,191 --> 05:58:15,920
>> So I agree that the city has

11180
05:58:15,920 --> 05:58:18,395
to do better to acknowledge how

11181
05:58:18,395 --> 05:58:18,996
challenging it is to map out

11182
05:58:18,996 --> 05:58:19,729
updates to our existing

11183
05:58:19,729 --> 05:58:22,129
communities and community plans

11184
05:58:23,990 --> 05:58:23,767
and how we identify

11185
05:58:23,767 --> 05:58:24,401
opportunities for new parks

11186
05:58:24,401 --> 05:58:27,401
especially when we are now

11187
05:58:27,770 --> 05:58:28,472
looking at mostly infill and

11188
05:58:28,472 --> 05:58:29,139
redevelopment opportunities in

11189
05:58:29,139 --> 05:58:32,409
a city that is in many ways

11190
05:58:32,409 --> 05:58:33,277
built out.

11191
05:58:33,277 --> 05:58:34,440
So an often used argument that

11192
05:58:34,440 --> 05:58:37,280
I think we heard once again

11193
05:58:37,280 --> 05:58:38,480
today is that we somehow need

11194
05:58:38,480 --> 05:58:41,648
to meet our park deficiency or

11195
05:58:42,520 --> 05:58:42,753
infrastructure needs and until

11196
05:58:42,753 --> 05:58:43,870
then we should not build more

11197
05:58:43,870 --> 05:58:45,870
housing.

11198
05:58:46,423 --> 05:58:46,790
And again I just fundamentally

11199
05:58:46,790 --> 05:58:47,691
disagree.

11200
05:58:47,691 --> 05:58:51,291
We must work on both housing

11201
05:58:51,961 --> 05:58:52,596
and infrastructure and in many

11202
05:58:52,596 --> 05:58:53,263
cases the way the city is

11203
05:58:53,263 --> 05:58:55,263
structured with development

11204
05:58:57,400 --> 05:58:58,680
impact fees is that we will we

11205
05:58:58,680 --> 05:59:01,680
literally rely on housing to

11206
05:59:01,572 --> 05:59:02,439
deliver that infrastructure.

11207
05:59:02,439 --> 05:59:05,676
I know I'm in a community where

11208
05:59:05,676 --> 05:59:06,310
they waited nearly 20 years to

11209
05:59:06,310 --> 05:59:07,100
get a park project online

11210
05:59:07,100 --> 05:59:09,980
because they were waiting for

11211
05:59:09,980 --> 05:59:10,414
those impact fees to be

11212
05:59:10,414 --> 05:59:11,148
collected.

11213
05:59:11,148 --> 05:59:11,748
So we often talk about putting

11214
05:59:11,748 --> 05:59:13,748
more housing especially

11215
05:59:15,519 --> 05:59:16,520
affordable housing in high

11216
05:59:16,520 --> 05:59:16,687
resource areas and a

11217
05:59:16,687 --> 05:59:19,870
significant amount of new

11218
05:59:20,190 --> 05:59:20,891
housing has been north of

11219
05:59:20,891 --> 05:59:24,491
the eight in many of our

11220
05:59:25,229 --> 05:59:25,962
districts and we do so

11221
05:59:25,962 --> 05:59:26,664
specifically with the objective

11222
05:59:26,664 --> 05:59:30,233
of also avoiding a history of

11223
05:59:30,233 --> 05:59:30,834
concentrate poverty in

11224
05:59:30,834 --> 05:59:31,502
communities of concern.

11225
05:59:31,502 --> 05:59:34,405
And what I heard today from

11226
05:59:34,405 --> 05:59:35,105
some members of the public

11227
05:59:35,105 --> 05:59:35,805
seemed to suggest that today's

11228
05:59:35,805 --> 05:59:38,205
project under consideration is

11229
05:59:39,843 --> 05:59:40,544
once again concentrating

11230
05:59:40,544 --> 05:59:41,511
poverty and that argument is

11231
05:59:41,511 --> 05:59:44,448
false and we need to call that

11232
05:59:44,448 --> 05:59:45,115
out especially when we have an

11233
05:59:45,115 --> 05:59:47,515
item that provides something

11234
05:59:49,286 --> 05:59:49,987
that is quite the opposite of

11235
05:59:49,987 --> 05:59:50,620
that low density single family

11236
05:59:50,620 --> 05:59:52,620
residential homeownership

11237
05:59:54,558 --> 05:59:55,226
opportunities is that many we

11238
05:59:55,226 --> 05:59:58,826
have heard from in the past

11239
05:59:59,129 --> 05:59:59,830
have often been portrayed as

11240
05:59:59,830 --> 06:00:00,397
only being available in higher

11241
06:00:00,397 --> 06:00:02,397
resourced communities

11242
06:00:03,700 --> 06:00:04,401
Communities south of the eight

11243
06:00:04,401 --> 06:00:05,350
also deserve to have the same

11244
06:00:05,350 --> 06:00:07,435
access to quality housing

11245
06:00:08,405 --> 06:00:09,173
opportunities and good jobs in

11246
06:00:09,173 --> 06:00:12,173
schools and public services and

11247
06:00:13,244 --> 06:00:13,978
infrastructure.

11248
06:00:13,978 --> 06:00:14,678
So given everything we've heard

11249
06:00:14,678 --> 06:00:17,678
today, I do not believe

11250
06:00:18,382 --> 06:00:19,160
the necessary findings have

11251
06:00:19,160 --> 06:00:19,683
been presented to support

11252
06:00:19,683 --> 06:00:20,517
the appeal and so I will be

11253
06:00:20,517 --> 06:00:20,884
supporting the motion on

11254
06:00:20,884 --> 06:00:22,884
the table.

11255
06:00:26,190 --> 06:00:26,690
Thank you.

11256
06:00:26,690 --> 06:00:27,900
All right.

11257
06:00:27,900 --> 06:00:27,791
Thank you.

11258
06:00:27,791 --> 06:00:28,592
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee.

11259
06:00:28,592 --> 06:00:30,760
We'll go back to Councilmember

11260
06:00:30,760 --> 06:00:31,428
Campione Thank you, council

11261
06:00:31,428 --> 06:00:32,229
PRESIDENT And thank you for

11262
06:00:32,229 --> 06:00:35,366
that The time we have here a

11263
06:00:35,366 --> 06:00:36,660
minute 45 Appreciate

11264
06:00:36,660 --> 06:00:39,660
the comments of my colleagues

11265
06:00:39,770 --> 06:00:40,471
and and a lot of the policy

11266
06:00:40,471 --> 06:00:41,710
goals that they're pointing to

11267
06:00:41,710 --> 06:00:43,710
homeownership absolutely

11268
06:00:44,808 --> 06:00:45,509
important And there's I think

11269
06:00:45,509 --> 06:00:48,509
that any application will show

11270
06:00:50,314 --> 06:00:51,148
some good and some not so good.

11271
06:00:51,148 --> 06:00:54,148
You know, I support building

11272
06:00:55,519 --> 06:00:56,187
housing in San Diego and in my

11273
06:00:56,187 --> 06:00:58,587
district and other districts

11274
06:00:59,490 --> 06:01:00,290
across the city just yesterday

11275
06:01:00,290 --> 06:01:00,958
voted to approve a plan that's

11276
06:01:00,958 --> 06:01:01,492
going to bring thousands of

11277
06:01:01,492 --> 06:01:03,892
homes to San Diego.

11278
06:01:04,462 --> 06:01:05,162
But supporting housing does not

11279
06:01:05,162 --> 06:01:08,162
require the council to approve

11280
06:01:09,400 --> 06:01:10,100
any and every project on any

11281
06:01:10,100 --> 06:01:10,334
and every site under any

11282
06:01:10,334 --> 06:01:10,935
process.

11283
06:01:10,935 --> 06:01:13,935
We have to make findings

11284
06:01:14,371 --> 06:01:14,972
required by law.

11285
06:01:14,972 --> 06:01:15,673
This project depends on

11286
06:01:15,673 --> 06:01:18,676
footnote seven which is a rule

11287
06:01:18,676 --> 06:01:21,676
that reduced the minimum lot

11288
06:01:22,747 --> 06:01:23,347
size in this community from

11289
06:01:23,347 --> 06:01:24,150
20,000ft to 5000ft and

11290
06:01:24,150 --> 06:01:24,682
the development has had its

11291
06:01:24,682 --> 06:01:27,682
vesting rights Based on that

11292
06:01:27,818 --> 06:01:28,652
footnote as was made absolutely

11293
06:01:28,652 --> 06:01:31,855
clear as I've said before with

11294
06:01:31,855 --> 06:01:32,522
the Klauber project Footnote

11295
06:01:32,522 --> 06:01:33,157
seven I believe violated our

11296
06:01:33,157 --> 06:01:35,157
duties under affirmatively

11297
06:01:36,861 --> 06:01:37,495
furthering fair housing laws As

11298
06:01:37,495 --> 06:01:38,129
someone mentioned earlier

11299
06:01:38,129 --> 06:01:41,265
quoting me back to me it's

11300
06:01:41,265 --> 06:01:41,999
poisonous tree which is to say

11301
06:01:41,999 --> 06:01:42,733
i don't believe the city was in

11302
06:01:42,733 --> 06:01:46,237
a position to grant any vesting

11303
06:01:46,237 --> 06:01:46,904
rights to any applicant under

11304
06:01:46,904 --> 06:01:47,605
that legal mechanism because

11305
06:01:47,605 --> 06:01:51,205
how can a city grant property

11306
06:01:51,475 --> 06:01:52,175
rights while similar

11307
06:01:52,175 --> 06:01:52,643
simultaneously violating state

11308
06:01:52,643 --> 06:01:54,643
or federal laws?

11309
06:01:56,314 --> 06:01:57,150
I know that's a question that

11310
06:01:57,150 --> 06:01:57,882
reasonable minds can differ on

11311
06:01:57,882 --> 06:02:00,918
but I fall on the side of I

11312
06:02:00,918 --> 06:02:01,619
think it violated fha if

11313
06:02:01,619 --> 06:02:02,320
the applicant were to bring it

11314
06:02:02,320 --> 06:02:04,720
forward under other mechanisms

11315
06:02:05,789 --> 06:02:06,490
as staff explained I'd be

11316
06:02:06,490 --> 06:02:07,191
interested to know if it still

11317
06:02:07,191 --> 06:02:10,191
met all those standards under

11318
06:02:10,395 --> 06:02:11,280
the process but ultimately I'm

11319
06:02:11,280 --> 06:02:11,496
deeply skeptical that this

11320
06:02:11,496 --> 06:02:13,496
process which is

11321
06:02:13,698 --> 06:02:14,565
the utilization of footnote

11322
06:02:14,565 --> 06:02:15,265
seven is legal which is to say

11323
06:02:15,265 --> 06:02:15,767
I don't blame the development

11324
06:02:15,767 --> 06:02:18,167
team for using it.

11325
06:02:19,300 --> 06:02:19,638
I blame the city for allowing

11326
06:02:19,638 --> 06:02:19,938
it to happen in the first

11327
06:02:19,938 --> 06:02:21,938
place.

11328
06:02:23,575 --> 06:02:24,740
>> I also want to be clear

11329
06:02:24,740 --> 06:02:26,740
about the Housing

11330
06:02:27,578 --> 06:02:28,179

11331
06:02:28,179 --> 06:02:30,579
minutes plus three okay

11332
06:02:32,149 --> 06:02:33,170
COUNCILMAN, thank you.

11333
06:02:33,170 --> 06:02:33,718
>> I want to be clear about

11334
06:02:33,718 --> 06:02:36,118
the Housing Accountability Act

11335
06:02:36,821 --> 06:02:37,521
and as a person who's

11336
06:02:37,521 --> 06:02:39,921
absolutely wide eyed about

11337
06:02:41,959 --> 06:02:42,693
litigation risk, the act does

11338
06:02:42,693 --> 06:02:43,361
not require the city to approve

11339
06:02:43,361 --> 06:02:46,361
a project regardless of any

11340
06:02:46,731 --> 06:02:47,399
potential defects and we heard

11341
06:02:47,399 --> 06:02:48,320
today about issues of notice

11342
06:02:48,320 --> 06:02:50,432
and secret compliance and

11343
06:02:51,803 --> 06:02:52,437
public health and safety other

11344
06:02:52,437 --> 06:02:52,971
findings for discretionary

11345
06:02:52,971 --> 06:02:54,971
permits and waivers.

11346
06:02:56,474 --> 06:02:57,800
But I would focus on the fair

11347
06:02:57,800 --> 06:02:57,541
housing obligations.

11348
06:02:57,541 --> 06:02:58,243
The objections from

11349
06:02:58,243 --> 06:03:01,781
the community are not based on

11350
06:03:01,781 --> 06:03:02,346
generalized opposition to

11351
06:03:02,346 --> 06:03:03,130
housing or subjective

11352
06:03:03,130 --> 06:03:03,748
neighborhood character or a

11353
06:03:03,748 --> 06:03:06,318
desire to reduce density simply

11354
06:03:06,318 --> 06:03:07,180
because they don't like

11355
06:03:07,180 --> 06:03:10,180
the project they brought up

11356
06:03:11,255 --> 06:03:11,856
consistently the legal findings

11357
06:03:11,856 --> 06:03:12,557
that need to be required

11358
06:03:12,557 --> 06:03:14,957
including whether that project

11359
06:03:15,660 --> 06:03:16,127
complies with state and federal

11360
06:03:16,127 --> 06:03:16,861
law.

11361
06:03:16,861 --> 06:03:17,495
So I have consistency with my

11362
06:03:17,495 --> 06:03:19,895
prior position on Footnote

11363
06:03:20,832 --> 06:03:21,533
seven Questionable adoption I

11364
06:03:21,533 --> 06:03:22,133
would support the granting of

11365
06:03:22,133 --> 06:03:22,767
the appeal and reversing

11366
06:03:22,767 --> 06:03:23,134
the Planning Commission's

11367
06:03:23,134 --> 06:03:25,134
approval.

11368
06:03:28,573 --> 06:03:29,107
>> Thank you.

11369
06:03:29,107 --> 06:03:29,474
>> All right.

11370
06:03:29,474 --> 06:03:30,108
Thank you.

11371
06:03:30,108 --> 06:03:30,708
Council Member Camp Hill.

11372
06:03:30,708 --> 06:03:33,712
So with that I don't see

11373
06:03:33,712 --> 06:03:34,479
anybody else in the lights.

11374
06:03:34,479 --> 06:03:35,179
We have a motion by council

11375
06:03:35,179 --> 06:03:38,583
member Foster and a second by

11376
06:03:38,583 --> 06:03:39,283
myself to move the staff

11377
06:03:39,283 --> 06:03:39,684
recommendation which is up on

11378
06:03:39,684 --> 06:03:41,684
the screen.

11379
06:03:42,220 --> 06:03:42,954
Clerk Please call the roll.

11380
06:03:42,954 --> 06:03:45,954
>> I'm sorry the voting system

11382
06:03:51,396 --> 06:03:52,630

11385

Council PRESIDENT Thank you.

11386
06:03:56,301 --> 06:03:59,901
With that we are now adjourned.

11387
06:04:00,605 --> 06:04:01,273
