Council PRESIDENT LaCava

131
00:03:47,456 --> 00:03:50,456
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee

132
00:03:52,161 --> 00:03:52,861
and honorable Council members.

133
00:03:52,861 --> 00:03:53,529
My name is Dennis Tome,

134
00:03:53,529 --> 00:03:55,264
Commissioner for Arts and

135
00:03:55,264 --> 00:03:55,531
Culture representing District

136
00:03:55,531 --> 00:03:56,131
six.

137
00:03:56,131 --> 00:03:56,832
I'm deeply honored to be

138
00:03:56,832 --> 00:03:59,832
reappointed to this role today

139
00:04:00,336 --> 00:04:00,703
and continue to serving our

140
00:04:00,703 --> 00:04:01,504
community.

141
00:04:01,504 --> 00:04:02,700
Before I begin I want to take a

142
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:04,700
moment to acknowledge

143
00:04:05,241 --> 00:04:05,775
the devastating fires affecting

144
00:04:05,775 --> 00:04:06,508
Southern California.

145
00:04:06,508 --> 00:04:10,108
Our hearts and prayers are with

146
00:04:10,179 --> 00:04:10,880
the families and victims

147
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,447
impacted as well as the brave

148
00:04:11,447 --> 00:04:13,447
firefighters and first

149
00:04:14,850 --> 00:04:15,451
responders working tirelessly

150
00:04:15,451 --> 00:04:15,851
to protect lives and

151
00:04:15,851 --> 00:04:16,552
communities.

152
00:04:16,552 --> 00:04:19,552
Their courage reminds us of

153
00:04:20,156 --> 00:04:20,823
the importance of coming

154
00:04:20,823 --> 00:04:23,223
together in unity especially

155
00:04:24,693 --> 00:04:25,561
through these times of crisis

156
00:04:25,561 --> 00:04:26,228
As we reflect on the strength

157
00:04:26,228 --> 00:04:26,695
that has carried us through

158
00:04:26,695 --> 00:04:28,695
difficult times.

159
00:04:29,598 --> 00:04:30,299
We are reminded of

160
00:04:30,299 --> 00:04:30,900
the significance of embracing

161
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:33,900
who we are regardless of

162
00:04:34,203 --> 00:04:34,870
the challenges we face.

163
00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:35,538
For me this journey of

164
00:04:35,538 --> 00:04:37,938
embracing my heritage wasn't

165
00:04:39,341 --> 00:04:40,108
always easy.

166
00:04:40,108 --> 00:04:40,843
Growing up I was teased for

167
00:04:40,843 --> 00:04:43,843
being different, for speaking a

168
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,114
different language at home and

169
00:04:45,114 --> 00:04:45,748
for celebrating traditions

170
00:04:45,748 --> 00:04:47,748
others didn't understand.

171
00:04:49,819 --> 00:04:50,486
But as I've grown I've come to

172
00:04:50,486 --> 00:04:51,530
see that our differences are

173
00:04:51,530 --> 00:04:53,453
not something to hide.

174
00:04:53,956 --> 00:04:54,557
There's something to celebrate

175
00:04:54,557 --> 00:04:55,324
rather than isolate.

176
00:04:55,324 --> 00:04:58,924
The proclamation of a lunar new

177
00:04:59,395 --> 00:05:00,290
Year is more than just a

178
00:05:00,290 --> 00:05:00,396
recognition of a cultural

179
00:05:00,396 --> 00:05:01,970
tradition.

180
00:05:01,970 --> 00:05:04,970
It's an opportunity to reflect

181
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:04,900
on the colorblind values that

182
00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:08,204
bind us together as a city

183
00:05:08,204 --> 00:05:08,504
family renewal community and

184
00:05:08,504 --> 00:05:09,205
hope.

185
00:05:09,205 --> 00:05:09,905
These principles transcend our

186
00:05:09,905 --> 00:05:12,905
differences and remind us that

187
00:05:13,643 --> 00:05:14,343
even in the face of disaster or

188
00:05:14,343 --> 00:05:17,343
division we are strongest when

189
00:05:18,481 --> 00:05:19,347
we stand together.

190
00:05:19,347 --> 00:05:19,682
Just as a snake sheds its skin

191
00:05:19,682 --> 00:05:20,416
to grow.

192
00:05:20,416 --> 00:05:22,816
This proclamation marks a

193
00:05:23,653 --> 00:05:24,220
moment for San Diego to embrace

194
00:05:24,220 --> 00:05:24,854
growth that comes from

195
00:05:24,854 --> 00:05:26,854
understanding and honoring

196
00:05:28,457 --> 00:05:29,910
the cultural richness that

197
00:05:29,910 --> 00:05:29,992
makes our city so unique.

198
00:05:29,992 --> 00:05:33,496
It allows us to inspire future

199
00:05:33,496 --> 00:05:34,960
generations to embrace their

200
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:34,830
heritage, to share their

201
00:05:34,830 --> 00:05:37,533
stories proudly and to create a

202
00:05:37,533 --> 00:05:37,833
more inclusive and united San

203
00:05:37,833 --> 00:05:38,401
Diego.

204
00:05:38,401 --> 00:05:41,401
On behalf of the Asian

205
00:05:42,305 --> 00:05:42,972

206
00:05:42,972 --> 00:05:43,506
leadership in making moments

207
00:05:43,506 --> 00:05:45,506
like this possible.

208
00:05:47,710 --> 00:05:48,377
Together we can continue to

209
00:05:48,377 --> 00:05:48,944
build a city where everyone

210
00:05:48,944 --> 00:05:49,345
feels seen, valued and

211
00:05:49,345 --> 00:05:50,880
celebrated.

212
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:51,180
Thank you And happy Lunar New

213
00:05:51,180 --> 00:05:51,614
Year.

214
00:05:51,614 --> 00:05:53,614
>> Thank you.

215
00:05:55,550 --> 00:05:56,486
That does conclude your time.

216
00:05:56,486 --> 00:05:59,486

217
00:05:59,722 --> 00:06:00,550

218
00:06:00,550 --> 00:06:00,423
and 31.

219
00:06:00,423 --> 00:06:00,857
Thank you.

220
00:06:00,857 --> 00:06:02,857
Good morning.

221
00:06:04,660 --> 00:06:05,461
San Diego City Council Members

222
00:06:05,461 --> 00:06:09,499
My name is Natasha Wang and I'm

223
00:06:09,499 --> 00:06:10,199
the PRESIDENT Of the House of

224
00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:10,866

00:06:10,866 --> 00:06:13,866
the Chinese school San Diego

226
00:06:14,403 --> 00:06:15,137
and also a commissioner on

227
00:06:15,137 --> 00:06:15,438
the Commission of the Status of

Women.

229
00:06:16,272 --> 00:06:19,842
I thank you this morning for

230
00:06:19,842 --> 00:06:22,842
recognizing Lunar New Year, our

231
00:06:23,613 --> 00:06:24,347
most important cultural holiday

232
00:06:24,347 --> 00:06:26,747
for Asian-Americans and our

233
00:06:28,350 --> 00:06:29,520
Chinese-Americans as a

234
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:29,719
Chinese-American woman I was

235
00:06:29,719 --> 00:06:33,319
born and raised here in San

236
00:06:33,423 --> 00:06:34,570
Diego and as long as I can

237
00:06:34,570 --> 00:06:34,724
remember this was the most

238
00:06:34,724 --> 00:06:37,124
significant holiday for our

239
00:06:37,627 --> 00:06:38,494
family.

240
00:06:38,494 --> 00:06:39,195
But it wasn't always celebrated

241
00:06:39,195 --> 00:06:42,195
in the mainstream America or

242
00:06:42,865 --> 00:06:43,833
here in San Diego.

243
00:06:43,833 --> 00:06:47,433
And more than 30 years ago my

244
00:06:47,804 --> 00:06:48,404
family and some community

245
00:06:48,404 --> 00:06:49,710
members we helped create

246
00:06:49,710 --> 00:06:52,710
the Chinese New Year Street

247
00:06:53,420 --> 00:06:56,642
Fair here in downtown and a

248
00:06:56,646 --> 00:06:57,280
very small simple dinner Last

249
00:06:57,280 --> 00:06:59,280
Saturday our organization

00:07:00,917 --> 00:07:01,617

255
00:07:11,270 --> 00:07:11,594
attended by COUNCILMAN

while we thank them for their

261
00:07:21,838 --> 00:07:23,838
support.

262
00:07:26,308 --> 00:07:27,100
Now today and this this year we

263
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:29,945
see many San Diego's come out

264
00:07:29,945 --> 00:07:30,613
and celebrate with us

265
00:07:30,613 --> 00:07:31,281
especially over the next two

266
00:07:31,281 --> 00:07:34,881
weeks the House of China We

267
00:07:35,284 --> 00:07:38,284

FEBRUARY 15th and 16th with

00:07:39,956 --> 00:07:40,690

271
00:07:43,927 --> 00:07:44,994
our ceremonies.

272
00:07:44,994 --> 00:07:45,662
It means a lot to us to have

273
00:07:45,662 --> 00:07:48,620
our city representatives and

274
00:07:48,264 --> 00:07:48,965
our San Diego and community

275
00:07:48,965 --> 00:07:49,299
celebrate because it means we

276
00:07:49,299 --> 00:07:51,299
belong.

277
00:07:53,369 --> 00:07:54,370
It means we value the Chinese

278
00:07:54,370 --> 00:07:56,370
and Asian-American cultural

279
00:07:57,974 --> 00:07:58,842
diversity and we appreciate it

280
00:07:58,842 --> 00:07:59,576
And we are so proud to share

281
00:07:59,576 --> 00:08:02,576
our culture and our traditions.

282
00:08:03,112 --> 00:08:05,512
Thank you so much.

283
00:08:13,823 --> 00:08:14,424
>> Next is Louie with.

284
00:08:14,424 --> 00:08:15,910
>> Good morning council

285
00:08:15,910 --> 00:08:17,491
members, gentlemen And I'm

286
00:08:18,394 --> 00:08:19,129
gonna.

287
00:08:19,129 --> 00:08:19,929
Happy New Year's in Vietnamese.

288
00:08:19,929 --> 00:08:22,866
Some of you MAY recognize me.

289
00:08:22,866 --> 00:08:23,533
Probably because of my fedora

290
00:08:23,533 --> 00:08:24,367
because that's what I wear.

291
00:08:24,367 --> 00:08:27,403
But I'm also a trustee of

292
00:08:27,403 --> 00:08:27,837
the San Diego City Employee

293
00:08:27,837 --> 00:08:29,837
Pension Plan.

294
00:08:31,374 --> 00:08:31,841
The mayor appointed me about

295
00:08:31,841 --> 00:08:32,642
four years ago.

296
00:08:32,642 --> 00:08:35,945
I'm also the incoming ceo of

297
00:08:35,945 --> 00:08:39,545
say, San Diego, a nonprofit in

298
00:08:39,549 --> 00:08:39,915
town about 50 years in

299
00:08:39,915 --> 00:08:40,617
existence.

300
00:08:40,617 --> 00:08:44,217
I am the first Asian American

301
00:08:44,487 --> 00:08:45,288
ceo.

302
00:08:45,288 --> 00:08:45,788
We serve about 35,000 San Diego

303
00:08:45,788 --> 00:08:47,788
in a year.

304
00:08:48,792 --> 00:08:49,259
Of that about 1000

305
00:08:49,259 --> 00:08:51,259
Asian-Americans.

306
00:08:52,696 --> 00:08:53,463
And of that about 350 school

307
00:08:53,463 --> 00:08:56,463
aged children who we serve

308
00:08:57,834 --> 00:09:01,434
every day, day in, day out.

309
00:09:02,539 --> 00:09:03,206
I came to the us as a refugee,

310
00:09:03,206 --> 00:09:06,206
grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

311
00:09:06,776 --> 00:09:07,444
At that time New Year's

312
00:09:07,444 --> 00:09:09,444
celebration that celebration

313
00:09:11,715 --> 00:09:12,582
was a very modest affair.

314
00:09:12,582 --> 00:09:16,182
We would make some home cook

315
00:09:16,553 --> 00:09:17,487
and family get together.

316
00:09:17,487 --> 00:09:17,854
It was a not a very large

317
00:09:17,854 --> 00:09:18,655
community.

318
00:09:18,655 --> 00:09:21,590
And so it was a very

319
00:09:21,590 --> 00:09:22,625
marginalized celebration.

320
00:09:22,625 --> 00:09:26,225
It was a celebration almost in

321
00:09:26,496 --> 00:09:27,464
hiding.

322
00:09:27,464 --> 00:09:29,933
Being here in San Diego for

323
00:09:29,933 --> 00:09:30,634
the last 20 something years and

324
00:09:30,634 --> 00:09:34,234
seeing the elevation of one of

325
00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:36,206
our most important family

326
00:09:36,206 --> 00:09:36,940
gathering and cultural

327
00:09:36,940 --> 00:09:39,643
gathering to be celebrated at a

328
00:09:39,643 --> 00:09:40,443
city level I think is just an

329
00:09:40,443 --> 00:09:43,443
amazing testimony of where this

330
00:09:45,815 --> 00:09:46,216
city has come and gone and

331
00:09:46,216 --> 00:09:48,216
arrived at.

332
00:09:48,852 --> 00:09:49,552
Also I'd say San Diego we have

333
00:09:49,552 --> 00:09:50,220
30 something languages across

334
00:09:50,220 --> 00:09:53,820
all the people all the young

335
00:09:54,124 --> 00:09:54,457
people, the families that we

336
00:09:54,457 --> 00:09:55,910
support.

337
00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:55,892
So in the spirit of that I

338
00:09:55,892 --> 00:09:58,892
would encourage and I would

339
00:09:59,620 --> 00:09:59,796
love to see the other amazing

340
00:09:59,796 --> 00:10:00,330
cultures in our in our city be

341
00:10:00,330 --> 00:10:02,330
celebrated as well.

342
00:10:04,434 --> 00:10:04,801
So again, thank you for having

343
00:10:04,801 --> 00:10:05,435
us today.

344
00:10:05,435 --> 00:10:06,136
Love the proclamation and

345
00:10:06,136 --> 00:10:09,736
please keep up the great work.

346
00:10:12,776 --> 00:10:13,343
Thank you Karen.

347
00:10:13,343 --> 00:10:15,343
>> Good morning.

348
00:10:18,348 --> 00:10:18,982
City Council your dedicated

349
00:10:18,982 --> 00:10:19,483
staff and to the community

350
00:10:19,483 --> 00:10:20,183
members behind me.

351
00:10:20,183 --> 00:10:23,190
My name is DR. Carmen Malcolm

352
00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:23,887
who by?

353
00:10:23,887 --> 00:10:24,587
I am a proud educator but more

354
00:10:24,587 --> 00:10:26,987
importantly I'm someone who's

355
00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:28,658
loved our San Diego communities

356
00:10:28,658 --> 00:10:31,658
for over 45 years despite my

357
00:10:32,262 --> 00:10:33,130
not being born here.

358
00:10:33,130 --> 00:10:33,830
>> I have to share with you

359
00:10:33,830 --> 00:10:34,598
since JANUARY 20th my heart's

360
00:10:34,598 --> 00:10:37,367
been a little bit heavy because

361
00:10:37,367 --> 00:10:38,234
I have students and I have

362
00:10:38,234 --> 00:10:41,834
friends who now fear for their

363
00:10:42,506 --> 00:10:42,906
health, their safety and their

364
00:10:42,906 --> 00:10:44,906
well-being.

365
00:10:46,176 --> 00:10:46,810
So celebrations like the one

366
00:10:46,810 --> 00:10:47,510
we're about to have today

367
00:10:47,510 --> 00:10:50,510
together are key because they

368
00:10:51,810 --> 00:10:51,748
affirm who we are as a people.

369
00:10:51,748 --> 00:10:52,482
They affirm that no matter

370
00:10:52,482 --> 00:10:55,852
where we're from we're here now

371
00:10:55,852 --> 00:10:56,552
in San Diego and we all belong

372
00:10:56,552 --> 00:10:57,254
here In other parts of

373
00:10:57,254 --> 00:10:59,654
the country, celebrations like

374
00:11:00,357 --> 00:11:01,240
this wouldn't be allowed.

375
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,240
People like me wouldn't be

376
00:11:04,995 --> 00:11:05,795
allowed to teach What I teach

377
00:11:05,795 --> 00:11:06,960
and that weighs heavy on my

378
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:06,763
heart.

379
00:11:06,763 --> 00:11:09,163
And that's why celebrations

380
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:10,968
like this are so key.

381
00:11:10,968 --> 00:11:11,635
I read that the year of

382
00:11:11,635 --> 00:11:14,635
the snake means fire and

383
00:11:15,138 --> 00:11:15,839
passion.

384
00:11:15,839 --> 00:11:16,540
I personally don't celebrate

385
00:11:16,540 --> 00:11:19,443
Lunar New Year but I celebrate

386
00:11:19,443 --> 00:11:19,910
my friends and community

387
00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:20,711
members who do.

388
00:11:20,711 --> 00:11:24,381
And I'm asking each of you in

389
00:11:24,381 --> 00:11:25,820
the years ahead to hold on to

390
00:11:25,820 --> 00:11:25,849
that fire and that passion to

391
00:11:25,849 --> 00:11:29,620
make sure that we let all of us

392
00:11:29,620 --> 00:11:30,286

393
00:11:30,286 --> 00:11:30,921

witness that.

399
00:11:39,863 --> 00:11:42,263
It's powerful when community

400
00:11:43,433 --> 00:11:44,167
members come together and we

401
00:11:44,167 --> 00:11:44,868
ask our decision makers to make

402
00:11:44,868 --> 00:11:45,269
choices on our behalf, That's

403
00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:47,269
really key.

404
00:11:47,771 --> 00:11:48,438

412
00:12:02,385 --> 00:12:02,986

place for Chinese immigrants to

We encourage the city to

00:13:21,665 --> 00:13:24,650
continue building pathways for

459
00:13:25,703 --> 00:13:26,437
all communities to be empowered

460
00:13:26,437 --> 00:13:27,171

00:14:03,841 --> 00:14:04,542

And as a Filipino-American

487
00:14:09,613 --> 00:14:13,117
growing up in Hawaii I actually

488
00:14:13,117 --> 00:14:13,984
didn't celebrate Lunar New Year

489
00:14:13,984 --> 00:14:14,451
but I've been in San Diego for

490
00:14:14,451 --> 00:14:15,352
over ten years.

491
00:14:15,352 --> 00:14:18,355

And I want to thank all those

00:14:34,237 --> 00:14:37,141

527
00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:16,681
Good morning.

528
00:15:16,681 --> 00:15:17,140
My name is Joseph Rancho

529
00:15:17,140 --> 00:15:17,715
Ramirez.

530
00:15:17,715 --> 00:15:19,850
My students call me Professor

531
00:15:19,850 --> 00:15:20,517
George Our prophet Jojo.

532
00:15:20,517 --> 00:15:21,520
I'm a professor of Asian

533
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,520
American studies at

534
00:15:23,854 --> 00:15:24,455
Southwestern College and I live

535
00:15:24,455 --> 00:15:25,289
down south in 92154.

536
00:15:25,289 --> 00:15:28,259
I want to actually talk to you

537
00:15:28,259 --> 00:15:28,993
all about the importance of

538
00:15:28,993 --> 00:15:29,693
2025 and the upcoming 2026

539
00:15:29,693 --> 00:15:33,293
Lunar New Year for many folks

540
00:15:33,798 --> 00:15:34,465
who are from Southeast Asia,

541
00:15:34,465 --> 00:15:35,660
the Vietnamese community and

542
00:15:35,660 --> 00:15:35,800
the Chinese community in

543
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,170
Cambodia and Laos and those who

544
00:15:39,170 --> 00:15:39,837
were influenced and combine

545
00:15:39,837 --> 00:15:40,571
local communities with Lunar

546
00:15:40,571 --> 00:15:43,673
New Year 2025 was the last time

547
00:15:43,673 --> 00:15:44,175
they celebrated Lunar New Year

548
00:15:44,175 --> 00:15:46,175
in their homeland.

549
00:15:47,678 --> 00:15:48,312
2025 marks the 50th anniversary

550
00:15:48,312 --> 00:15:48,980
of the refugee communities

551
00:15:48,980 --> 00:15:50,980
particularly Southeast Asian

552
00:15:52,350 --> 00:15:52,949
refugees here in San Diego

553
00:15:52,949 --> 00:15:53,317
where many of them were

554
00:15:53,317 --> 00:15:55,317
processed.

555
00:15:55,986 --> 00:15:56,687
And next year 2026 will be

556
00:15:56,687 --> 00:15:57,388
the first year they celebrated

557
00:15:57,388 --> 00:15:57,888
Lunar New Year as refugees in

558
00:15:57,888 --> 00:15:59,888
the United States.

559
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:01,759
So it is important to support

560
00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:04,759
not just the cultural aspect

561
00:16:04,795 --> 00:16:05,363
but how these celebrations are

562
00:16:05,363 --> 00:16:05,997
connected to not just

563
00:16:05,997 --> 00:16:09,467
the people to the land but

564
00:16:09,467 --> 00:16:10,167
the story of overall San Diego

565
00:16:10,167 --> 00:16:13,167
San Diego's as we celebrate

566
00:16:14,505 --> 00:16:15,106
Lunar New Year, the fall of

567
00:16:15,106 --> 00:16:15,806
Saigon, the diaspora of

568
00:16:15,806 --> 00:16:18,206
Cambodian and Lao communities

569
00:16:19,576 --> 00:16:20,511
in San Diego.

570
00:16:20,511 --> 00:16:21,212
I want to make sure that we

571
00:16:21,212 --> 00:16:21,912
also support why these studies

572
00:16:21,912 --> 00:16:25,216
are important and how they are

573
00:16:25,216 --> 00:16:25,917
connected in Asian American

574
00:16:25,917 --> 00:16:28,917
studies in refugee studies and

575
00:16:28,919 --> 00:16:29,487
how us as a community are more

576
00:16:29,487 --> 00:16:30,153
than just immigrants.

577
00:16:30,153 --> 00:16:33,153
We are people with stories,

578
00:16:34,158 --> 00:16:34,859
lives stories that stories our

579
00:16:34,859 --> 00:16:35,593
ancestors are all connected in

580
00:16:35,593 --> 00:16:39,960
how we tell our narratives Here

581
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:39,597

Good luck in continued work.

744
00:22:10,662 --> 00:22:10,963
It was really nice to hear

745
00:22:10,963 --> 00:22:11,663
that.

746
00:22:11,663 --> 00:22:14,633
Well, we have really important

747
00:22:14,633 --> 00:22:15,167
work to do about inviting

748
00:22:15,167 --> 00:22:17,167
inclusivity about in

749
00:22:18,837 --> 00:22:19,605
considering a care for all

750
00:22:19,605 --> 00:22:23,205
human beings in how we work

751
00:22:24,142 --> 00:22:24,910
within a society good luck how

752
00:22:24,910 --> 00:22:25,711
we can continue to do that And

753
00:22:25,711 --> 00:22:28,711
it's really difficult time and

754
00:22:29,214 --> 00:22:30,820
I hope we can do it.

755
00:22:30,820 --> 00:22:32,918
It's going to be a tough four

756
00:22:32,918 --> 00:22:37,118
years and good luck how we just

757
00:22:37,156 --> 00:22:37,756
work on we are we are of one

758
00:22:37,756 --> 00:22:38,524
world and we need to

759
00:22:38,524 --> 00:22:41,524
acknowledge that more than what

760
00:22:42,593 --> 00:22:43,328
the current administration I

761
00:22:43,328 --> 00:22:46,899
can just their minds can handle

762
00:22:46,899 --> 00:22:47,866
They cannot handle concepts

763
00:22:47,866 --> 00:22:52,400
that it can be okay to call a

764
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:52,771
place the Gulf of Mexico.

765
00:22:52,771 --> 00:22:53,738
That's hard to take because

766
00:22:53,738 --> 00:22:56,241
look how we work on that and we

767
00:22:56,241 --> 00:22:56,775
can continue to call it

768
00:22:56,775 --> 00:22:59,175
the Gulf of Mexico.

769
00:23:01,513 --> 00:23:02,247
With that said, I also wanted

770
00:23:02,247 --> 00:23:05,247
to thank the Laotian community.

771
00:23:06,351 --> 00:23:07,520
I'm not saying that Laotian

772

782
00:23:25,904 --> 00:23:28,904

783
00:23:29,775 --> 00:23:32,775

00:23:48,727 --> 00:23:49,428

792
00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:52,264
I appreciate what you did And

793
00:23:52,264 --> 00:23:52,965
just we don't normally allow

00:23:52,965 --> 00:23:53,699
that much applause but when

795
00:23:53,699 --> 00:23:56,699
the items are proclamations and

796
00:23:57,903 --> 00:23:58,270
ceremonial, I think it's well

797
00:23:58,270 --> 00:23:58,904
deserved.

798
00:23:58,904 --> 00:24:02,473

here and everybody watching who

1155
00:35:18,852 --> 00:35:21,852
are celebrating Lunar New Year

1156
00:35:22,690 --> 00:35:23,524
and the year of the snake.

1157
00:35:23,524 --> 00:35:26,560
Thank you to each of you who

1158
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:27,227
spoke about how important these

1159
00:35:27,227 --> 00:35:28,280
celebrations are not only to

1160
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,628
you but to everybody in our

1161
00:35:31,832 --> 00:35:32,499
city all the people who value

1162
00:35:32,499 --> 00:35:35,499
everyone who makes San Diego

1163
00:35:36,737 --> 00:35:37,505
the great city that it is.

1164
00:35:37,505 --> 00:35:38,139
I thought many of your comments

1165
00:35:38,139 --> 00:35:38,873
were really poignant this

1166
00:35:38,873 --> 00:35:41,875
morning and I am proud that

1167
00:35:41,875 --> 00:35:42,576
downtown and the international

1168
00:35:42,576 --> 00:35:46,176
cottages in Balboa Park are an

1169
00:35:46,380 --> 00:35:47,140
important part of

1170
00:35:47,140 --> 00:35:47,381
the celebrations that are

1171
00:35:47,381 --> 00:35:48,820
coming up.

1172
00:35:48,820 --> 00:35:51,652
I also want to thank Officer

1173
00:35:51,652 --> 00:35:52,319
David Cirillo for his many,

1174
00:35:52,319 --> 00:35:52,987
many years of public service

1175
00:35:52,987 --> 00:35:55,987
and congratulate him on his

1176
00:35:56,724 --> 00:35:57,233
retirement from the San Diego

1177
00:35:57,233 --> 00:35:57,925
Police Department.

1178
00:35:57,925 --> 00:36:00,925
Officers Cirillo, as we heard,

1179
00:36:01,862 --> 00:36:02,563
has spent many years of his

1180
00:36:02,563 --> 00:36:04,765
career as a community police

1181
00:36:04,765 --> 00:36:05,499
officer in District three.

1182
00:36:05,499 --> 00:36:09,990
You have been so responsive to

1183
00:36:09,570 --> 00:36:10,371
the residents, the community

1184
00:36:10,371 --> 00:36:11,720
groups and so many people in

1185
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:13,472
District three and elsewhere.

1186
00:36:14,909 --> 00:36:15,609
You have not only been

1187
00:36:15,609 --> 00:36:16,276
responsive to those concerns,

1188
00:36:16,276 --> 00:36:18,676
you have worked proactively

1189
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,616
over the years to really help

1190
00:36:22,616 --> 00:36:22,916
the residents in in District

1191
00:36:22,916 --> 00:36:23,784
three.

1192
00:36:23,784 --> 00:36:26,921
When I heard that you were

1193
00:36:26,921 --> 00:36:27,655
retiring, the first thought

1194
00:36:27,655 --> 00:36:28,189
that came to mind is how is

1195
00:36:28,189 --> 00:36:29,890
that even possible?

1196
00:36:29,890 --> 00:36:32,293
But then it occurred to me that

1197
00:36:32,293 --> 00:36:32,993
I have known you for at least

1198
00:36:32,993 --> 00:36:33,561
17 of the years that you have

1199
00:36:33,561 --> 00:36:35,961
been in that role.

1200
00:36:37,331 --> 00:36:37,999
Which makes us both feel older

1201
00:36:37,999 --> 00:36:38,432
than either one of us would

1202
00:36:38,432 --> 00:36:40,432
want to feel.

1203
00:36:41,669 --> 00:36:42,536
But I.

1204
00:36:42,536 --> 00:36:46,136
I guess it's about that time

1205
00:36:46,607 --> 00:36:47,474
you have shown such dedication

1206
00:36:47,474 --> 00:36:48,142
as a public servant over all of

1207
00:36:48,142 --> 00:36:51,142
those years and work closely

1208
00:36:52,113 --> 00:36:52,647
with our city council staff to

1209
00:36:52,647 --> 00:36:53,800
address the needs of

1210
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:53,714
the community.

1211
00:36:53,714 --> 00:36:56,383
You are an institution in

1212
00:36:56,383 --> 00:36:56,851
district three and you will be

1213
00:36:56,851 --> 00:36:57,551
greatly missed.

1214
00:36:57,551 --> 00:36:57,819
>> Thank you for your service

1215
00:36:57,819 --> 00:36:59,819
sir.

1216
00:37:01,322 --> 00:37:01,823
All right.

1217
00:37:01,823 --> 00:37:02,489
>> Thank you.

1218
00:37:02,489 --> 00:37:05,489
And we'll go next to

1219
00:37:06,193 --> 00:37:06,761
Councilmember Vaughn Walker.

1220
00:37:06,761 --> 00:37:07,528
Thank you very much.

1221
00:37:07,528 --> 00:37:11,128
And officers Will I'm going to

1222
00:37:11,132 --> 00:37:11,966
invite you to come up and use

1223
00:37:11,966 --> 00:37:12,400
of my time if you would like to

1224
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:12,934
say anything.

1225
00:37:12,934 --> 00:37:13,301
Put you on the spot.

1226
00:37:13,301 --> 00:37:15,301
Of course.

1227
00:37:15,503 --> 00:37:16,170
And while you're coming up, I

1228
00:37:16,170 --> 00:37:16,871
want to say congratulations

1229
00:37:16,871 --> 00:37:20,374
again to all of my colleagues

1230
00:37:20,374 --> 00:37:20,674
for such great proclamations as

1231
00:37:20,674 --> 00:37:21,375
usual.

1232
00:37:21,375 --> 00:37:24,878
I'll end on yours, sir, but

1233
00:37:24,878 --> 00:37:25,580
please come on up first for

1234
00:37:25,580 --> 00:37:26,130
Lunar New Year, week and week

1235
00:37:26,130 --> 00:37:26,681
of the Snake.

1236
00:37:26,681 --> 00:37:27,480
I'm so thrilled that you all

1237
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,480

all about the celebration this

1241
00:37:34,288 --> 00:37:35,155
weekend.

1242
00:37:35,155 --> 00:37:35,890
Thank you for your service on

1243
00:37:35,890 --> 00:37:36,324
the Commission on the Status of

1244
00:37:36,324 --> 00:37:38,324
Women as well.

1245
00:37:38,959 --> 00:37:39,427
I'm very excited for

1246
00:37:39,427 --> 00:37:40,261
the celebration.

1247
00:37:40,261 --> 00:37:40,962
It's something that we need to

1248
00:37:40,962 --> 00:37:41,596
highlight even more every year

1249
00:37:41,596 --> 00:37:44,332
And thank you for sharing

1250
00:37:44,332 --> 00:37:45,320
the history that your family

1251
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,320
has contributed to San Diego.

1252
00:37:48,770 --> 00:37:49,504
I'm also very excited for

1253
00:37:49,504 --> 00:37:50,138
the woman of color of your day.

1254
00:37:50,138 --> 00:37:50,872
Thank you to my colleague

1255
00:37:50,872 --> 00:37:53,272
Councilmember Ramo for bringing

1256
00:37:53,307 --> 00:37:54,420
this forward.

1257
00:37:54,420 --> 00:37:54,609
And Councilmember Foster, it is

1258
00:37:54,609 --> 00:37:55,209
so important to create

1259
00:37:55,209 --> 00:37:57,209
opportunities to empower

1260
00:37:58,713 --> 00:37:59,380
especially young girls and

1261
00:37:59,380 --> 00:38:00,810
women of color to find their

1262
00:38:00,810 --> 00:38:03,681
footing here in the world and

1263
00:38:03,684 --> 00:38:04,317
step into leadership roles and

1264
00:38:04,317 --> 00:38:04,918
become our change makers.

1265
00:38:04,918 --> 00:38:07,918
So I'm very excited for

1266
00:38:08,355 --> 00:38:08,990
the women of color Breakfast

1267
00:38:08,990 --> 00:38:09,691
and Leadership Academy to

1268
00:38:09,691 --> 00:38:11,691
provide invaluable experiences

1269
00:38:13,227 --> 00:38:13,895
to equip young women with

1270
00:38:13,895 --> 00:38:14,594
skills in civic engagement,

1271
00:38:14,594 --> 00:38:16,994
engagement training and career

1272
00:38:19,330 --> 00:38:19,734
development and finally

1273
00:38:19,734 --> 00:38:20,434
officers Well I'm not thrilled

1274
00:38:20,434 --> 00:38:22,770
you're retiring for this city

1275
00:38:22,770 --> 00:38:23,471
but I'm thrilled for you.

1276
00:38:23,471 --> 00:38:24,380
Thank you for your incredible

1277
00:38:24,380 --> 00:38:24,438
service to our police

1278
00:38:24,438 --> 00:38:26,438
department.

1279
00:38:28,420 --> 00:38:28,710
Your role is one of the most

1280
00:38:28,710 --> 00:38:29,343
important roles because you

1281
00:38:29,343 --> 00:38:32,343
help build trust with our

1282
00:38:32,447 --> 00:38:33,147
community and you are the face

1283
00:38:33,147 --> 00:38:33,848
of the police department to so

1284
00:38:33,848 --> 00:38:36,384
many people who have questions

1285
00:38:36,384 --> 00:38:36,818
and have concerns and want to

1286
00:38:36,818 --> 00:38:37,819
report crimes.

1287
00:38:37,819 --> 00:38:38,419
>> So this is going to be one

1288
00:38:38,419 --> 00:38:41,419
of the first of many

1289
00:38:41,555 --> 00:38:42,323
retirements unfortunately

1290
00:38:42,323 --> 00:38:42,757
coming up with our police and

1291
00:38:42,757 --> 00:38:43,491
firefighters.

1292
00:38:43,491 --> 00:38:44,358
I'm trying to figure out how to

1293
00:38:44,358 --> 00:38:47,228
pass a law to prevent you from

1294
00:38:47,228 --> 00:38:47,662
retiring but I haven't figured

1295
00:38:47,662 --> 00:38:48,429
that out yet.

1296
00:38:48,429 --> 00:38:49,130
So please call me up If you'd

1297
00:38:49,130 --> 00:38:51,699
like to say anything, please

1298
00:38:51,699 --> 00:38:52,367
use my time.

1299
00:38:52,367 --> 00:38:54,767
>> Thank you very much.

1300
00:38:57,238 --> 00:38:57,972
I won't speak long.

1301
00:38:57,972 --> 00:38:58,672
i'm Irish, Italian and usually

1302
00:38:58,672 --> 00:38:58,940

1303
00:38:58,940 --> 00:38:59,407
me.

1304
00:38:59,407 --> 00:39:01,376
No, that's true.

1305
00:39:01,376 --> 00:39:01,943
I appreciate saints for coming

1306
00:39:01,943 --> 00:39:02,810
to see me off today.

00:39:02,810 --> 00:39:06,113

00:39:06,113 --> 00:39:06,848
really doing here but my son

1309
00:39:06,848 --> 00:39:09,848

00:39:21,496 --> 00:39:23,896
To the city council.

I thank you all for allowing me

1322

to serve the city.

I appreciate it so much.

1324
00:39:30,271 --> 00:39:30,939
My goal has always been never

1325
00:39:30,939 --> 00:39:31,606
to be about me but about

1326
00:39:31,606 --> 00:39:34,875
the people that I serve and

1327
00:39:34,875 --> 00:39:35,443
that includes the people,

1328
00:39:35,443 --> 00:39:36,111
the citizens and then

1329
00:39:36,111 --> 00:39:36,778
partnerships that I had with

1330
00:39:36,778 --> 00:39:39,778
the city council members and

1331
00:39:40,215 --> 00:39:40,848

So over those years I've seen a

1335
00:39:44,285 --> 00:39:48,485
lot of people come and go and

1336
00:39:48,890 --> 00:39:49,690
built long relationships with a

1337
00:39:49,690 --> 00:39:49,991
lot of the different people

1338
00:39:49,991 --> 00:39:50,692
here.

1339
00:39:50,692 --> 00:39:51,158
So thank you all for what you

1340
00:39:51,158 --> 00:39:51,792
guys are doing.

1341
00:39:51,792 --> 00:39:54,261
I truly believe this is

1342
00:39:54,261 --> 00:39:57,261
the finest city in America.

1343
00:39:58,666 --> 00:39:59,367
I think that our department is

1344
00:39:59,367 --> 00:40:00,101
heads and shoulders over any

1345
00:40:00,101 --> 00:40:00,702
other department in this nation

1346
00:40:00,702 --> 00:40:02,702
Whenever there's trouble

1347
00:40:04,339 --> 00:40:05,206
throughout this country I feel

1348
00:40:05,206 --> 00:40:08,142
as if that is not how we would

1349
00:40:08,142 --> 00:40:08,810
behave When I see some of

1350
00:40:08,810 --> 00:40:09,511
the things that are negative

1351
00:40:09,511 --> 00:40:10,278
that happen And I think that's

1352
00:40:10,278 --> 00:40:13,581
because of our leadership and I

1353
00:40:13,581 --> 00:40:14,282
appreciate our chief wall who's

1354
00:40:14,282 --> 00:40:15,500
taking us in a new direction

1355
00:40:15,500 --> 00:40:18,185
and all the support staff that

1356
00:40:18,185 --> 00:40:18,887
he has.

1357
00:40:18,887 --> 00:40:19,487
I appreciate the City council

1358
00:40:19,487 --> 00:40:21,887
for allowing our police

1359
00:40:22,956 --> 00:40:23,692
department to go out into

1360
00:40:23,692 --> 00:40:24,250
the communities and build those

1361
00:40:24,250 --> 00:40:26,250
bridges.

1362
00:40:26,294 --> 00:40:26,994
And I appreciate every one of

1363
00:40:26,994 --> 00:40:27,662
you in every one of your

1364
00:40:27,662 --> 00:40:28,329
communities knowing that you

1365
00:40:28,329 --> 00:40:31,133
guys go out there every day

1366
00:40:31,133 --> 00:40:31,633
trying to better our community

1367
00:40:31,633 --> 00:40:32,400
for the citizens.

1368
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,000
I know at times people don't

1369
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:37,606
always see eye to eye on issues

1370
00:40:37,606 --> 00:40:38,306
but that's part of

1371
00:40:38,306 --> 00:40:39,390
the discussion and that's how

1372
00:40:39,390 --> 00:40:39,407
we we build bridges and we work

1373
00:40:39,407 --> 00:40:41,407
together.

1374
00:40:41,943 --> 00:40:42,744
So I sincerely want to thank

1375
00:40:42,744 --> 00:40:43,411
City Council for all of you in

1376
00:40:43,411 --> 00:40:45,811
all of your different

1377
00:40:46,815 --> 00:40:47,449
communities and how you guys

1378
00:40:47,449 --> 00:40:48,350
fight for your people And

1379
00:40:48,350 --> 00:40:50,552
that's how I so I try to do it

1380
00:40:50,552 --> 00:40:51,219
for Western Division.

1381
00:40:51,219 --> 00:40:51,953
I tried to fight for

1382
00:40:51,953 --> 00:40:52,654
the citizens and make sure that

1383
00:40:52,654 --> 00:40:55,557
they were heard and help them

1384
00:40:55,557 --> 00:40:56,258
because together we can

1385
00:40:56,258 --> 00:40:56,925
continue to keep this city San

1386
00:40:56,925 --> 00:40:59,925
Diego the finest city in

1387
00:41:00,428 --> 00:41:01,296
America.

1388
00:41:01,296 --> 00:41:02,300
I think that we hold the bar

1389
00:41:02,300 --> 00:41:05,300
extremely high for other cities

1390
00:41:05,867 --> 00:41:06,568
to try to live up to and that

1391
00:41:06,568 --> 00:41:07,269
means our citizens, our police

1392
00:41:07,269 --> 00:41:10,269
department, our city staff and

1393
00:41:10,539 --> 00:41:11,406
our elected officials.

1394
00:41:11,406 --> 00:41:12,107
And I think that when we go out

1395
00:41:12,107 --> 00:41:12,908
to other cities we're able to

1396
00:41:12,908 --> 00:41:14,709
say well, why can't you be more

1397
00:41:14,709 --> 00:41:15,376
like us?

1398
00:41:15,376 --> 00:41:16,440
And while we're doing that

1399
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:16,511
we're always trying to push

1400
00:41:16,511 --> 00:41:18,511
that bar higher.

1401
00:41:18,747 --> 00:41:19,515
So I appreciate you guys.

1402
00:41:19,515 --> 00:41:22,515
>> Thank you all very much.

1403
00:41:42,671 --> 00:41:44,671
Thank you.

1404
00:41:48,430 --> 00:41:48,710
Yeah.

1405
00:41:48,710 --> 00:41:49,344
And we'll go next to

1406
00:41:49,344 --> 00:41:49,711
Councilmember Ila Rivera.

1407
00:41:49,711 --> 00:41:51,711
Thank you.

1408
00:41:51,879 --> 00:41:52,814
Council PRESIDENT.

1409
00:41:52,814 --> 00:41:56,414
I want to thank my colleagues

1410
00:41:57,219 --> 00:41:57,918
for all the proclamations that

1411
00:41:57,918 --> 00:42:00,918
are brought forward today and

1412
00:42:01,823 --> 00:42:02,624
definitely thank the community

1413
00:42:02,624 --> 00:42:03,258
for showing up in the way that

1414
00:42:03,258 --> 00:42:06,258
you you have this morning.

1415
00:42:06,495 --> 00:42:07,162
Just I'm going to actually seat

1416
00:42:07,162 --> 00:42:07,863
as much time as possible to

1417
00:42:07,863 --> 00:42:10,863
council member Lee or Council

1418
00:42:11,660 --> 00:42:11,666
PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee so that

1419
00:42:11,666 --> 00:42:12,100
he can share that with

1420
00:42:12,100 --> 00:42:12,868
the community.

1421
00:42:12,868 --> 00:42:16,400
I want to say thank you again

1422
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:16,271
to the community for showing

1423
00:42:16,271 --> 00:42:17,172
up.

1424
00:42:17,172 --> 00:42:19,741
I want to say thank you to

1425
00:42:19,741 --> 00:42:20,442
the to the little Saigon

1426
00:42:20,442 --> 00:42:23,442
Foundation for inviting me to

1427
00:42:25,147 --> 00:42:25,813
attend their Lunar New Year and

1428
00:42:25,813 --> 00:42:28,213
Little Saigon Foundation Tet

1429
00:42:30,185 --> 00:42:30,953
Festival on Saturday.

1430
00:42:30,953 --> 00:42:31,252
As always that was a fantastic

1431
00:42:31,252 --> 00:42:33,252
event.

1432
00:42:35,230 --> 00:42:35,691
Great to see community Bravo.

1433
00:42:35,691 --> 00:42:36,391
It was actually like

1434
00:42:36,391 --> 00:42:38,791
legitimately cold weather not

1435
00:42:39,227 --> 00:42:39,861
just San Diego Cold but braved

1436
00:42:39,861 --> 00:42:43,461
the cold weather to be out

1437
00:42:43,965 --> 00:42:44,566
there And it's especially

1438
00:42:44,566 --> 00:42:45,233
reflected on some of

1439
00:42:45,233 --> 00:42:48,233
the comments made in public

1440
00:42:48,837 --> 00:42:49,538
comment and having that

1441
00:42:49,538 --> 00:42:50,238
festival in City Heights is

1442
00:42:50,238 --> 00:42:52,638
especially powerful because we

1443
00:42:53,242 --> 00:42:53,809
see such a great mix of

1444
00:42:53,809 --> 00:42:55,809
different cultures and

1445
00:42:58,279 --> 00:42:58,914
backgrounds and folks who came

1446
00:42:58,914 --> 00:43:01,914
to the same community from

1447
00:43:02,951 --> 00:43:03,719
different places But for

1448
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:04,420
the same reason and for many of

1449
00:43:04,420 --> 00:43:07,256
the same reasons I should say

1450
00:43:07,256 --> 00:43:07,922
and have have built a really,

1451
00:43:07,922 --> 00:43:10,322
really strong community and

1452
00:43:12,940 --> 00:43:12,793
watching especially young ones

1453
00:43:12,793 --> 00:43:15,193
explore different culture and

1454
00:43:17,199 --> 00:43:17,866
heritage and food with one

1455
00:43:17,866 --> 00:43:18,500
another in this celebratory

1456
00:43:18,500 --> 00:43:20,900
environment is just really

1457
00:43:21,336 --> 00:43:22,103
powerful.

1458
00:43:22,103 --> 00:43:25,703
And I think again speaking to

1459
00:43:26,341 --> 00:43:27,750
what I heard this morning is

1460
00:43:27,750 --> 00:43:27,809
really is a great reflection of

1461
00:43:27,809 --> 00:43:30,809
what makes San Diego most

1462
00:43:31,714 --> 00:43:32,414
important.

1463
00:43:32,414 --> 00:43:32,981
Karen you're absolutely right.

1464
00:43:32,981 --> 00:43:33,549
It's not the beaches.

1465
00:43:33,549 --> 00:43:35,949
It's not the sunsets.

1466
00:43:36,251 --> 00:43:37,190
It's our people.

1467
00:43:37,190 --> 00:43:40,190
And and these celebrations are

1468
00:43:41,556 --> 00:43:41,857
a great way of reminding us

1469
00:43:41,857 --> 00:43:42,458
that.

1470
00:43:42,458 --> 00:43:45,458
So thank you for that.

1471
00:43:45,928 --> 00:43:46,628
And with that I will see

1472
00:43:46,628 --> 00:43:47,329
the remainder of my time to

1473
00:43:47,329 --> 00:43:50,329
council PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee

1474
00:43:50,999 --> 00:43:51,767
All right Thank you With next

00:43:52,501 --> 00:43:53,201
Thank you council PRESIDENT And

1477
00:43:53,201 --> 00:43:55,537
thank you to my colleagues for

this great set of

1479
00:43:55,971 --> 00:43:56,605
proclamations.

1480
00:43:56,605 --> 00:43:59,500
Of course wishing everyone

1481
00:43:59,975 --> 00:44:00,742
happy Lunar New Year And my

1482
00:44:00,742 --> 00:44:01,476
staff and I will be out at

1483
00:44:01,476 --> 00:44:02,440
the Linda Vista Farmer's Market

1484
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,880
for the Lunar New Year

1485
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:05,547
celebration this Thursday

1486
00:44:05,547 --> 00:44:06,281
between 2 and 7 P.M. At

1487
00:44:06,281 --> 00:44:06,949
the Linda Vista Shopping Center

1488
00:44:06,949 --> 00:44:09,952
and I look forward to seeing

1489
00:44:09,952 --> 00:44:10,853
many of you there though I am

1490
00:44:10,853 --> 00:44:14,155
sad that we probably won't see

1491
00:44:14,155 --> 00:44:14,823
officers there Willow there

1492
00:44:14,823 --> 00:44:18,423
being a crew for Linda Vista

1493
00:44:18,427 --> 00:44:18,827
parts of Mission Valley for so

1494
00:44:18,827 --> 00:44:19,495
so long.

1495
00:44:19,495 --> 00:44:20,229
I want to build off

1496
00:44:20,229 --> 00:44:23,229
the comments that my colleagues

1497
00:44:23,899 --> 00:44:24,599
and that you said for yourself,

1498
00:44:24,599 --> 00:44:25,334
sir but we're deeply going to

1499
00:44:25,334 --> 00:44:27,903
MISS You and know that the face

1500
00:44:27,903 --> 00:44:28,504
of trust of with the public is

1501
00:44:28,504 --> 00:44:29,171
almost always the first

1502
00:44:29,171 --> 00:44:31,571
interaction someone has with

1503
00:44:32,975 --> 00:44:33,709
their crew.

1504
00:44:33,709 --> 00:44:34,276
So for the good things people

1505
00:44:34,276 --> 00:44:34,910
think about our local

1506
00:44:34,910 --> 00:44:37,310
government it starts with

1507
00:44:38,470 --> 00:44:38,679
people in your role and you

1508
00:44:38,679 --> 00:44:39,381
specifically for the last

1509
00:44:39,381 --> 00:44:41,781

00:44:42,885 --> 00:44:43,585
So thank you very much And I

1511
00:44:43,585 --> 00:44:43,986

1512
00:44:43,986 --> 00:44:44,720
my comments.

00:44:58,670 --> 00:44:58,399

00:46:40,603 --> 00:46:41,470
year with a new Zodiac animal.

1594
00:46:41,470 --> 00:46:42,138
And as a day that is celebrated

1595
00:46:42,138 --> 00:46:44,538
by over 2 billion people

1596
00:46:45,741 --> 00:46:46,474
annually, the Lunar New Year is

1597
00:46:46,474 --> 00:46:49,474
especially important to many of

1598
00:46:50,479 --> 00:46:51,790
our local Asian communities in

1599
00:46:51,790 --> 00:46:51,747
the state of California.

1600
00:46:51,747 --> 00:46:52,381
Lunar New Year was actually

1601
00:46:52,381 --> 00:46:54,781
recognized as an official

1602
00:46:55,651 --> 00:46:56,519
holiday just a few years ago.

1603
00:46:56,519 --> 00:46:57,118
And in San Diego we know that

1604
00:46:57,118 --> 00:46:57,753
Lunar New Year has been

1605
00:46:57,753 --> 00:47:00,623
celebrated by well over a

1606
00:47:00,623 --> 00:47:01,290
century beginning in the 1800s

1607
00:47:01,290 --> 00:47:01,991
when Santiago's first Asian

1608
00:47:01,991 --> 00:47:04,391
communities developed for many

1609
00:47:04,860 --> 00:47:05,528
families including mine, this

1610
00:47:05,528 --> 00:47:06,329
holiday is a sacred time to

1611
00:47:06,329 --> 00:47:09,329
reunite with loved ones to

1612
00:47:10,199 --> 00:47:10,866
feast, to wish for health and

1613
00:47:10,866 --> 00:47:11,601
prosperity and to engage in

1614
00:47:11,601 --> 00:47:14,100
traditions everything from lion

1615
00:47:15,710 --> 00:47:15,805
dancing to the gifting of lucky

1616
00:47:15,805 --> 00:47:16,438

1617
00:47:16,438 --> 00:47:18,838
practice ourselves here in

1618
00:47:19,842 --> 00:47:20,243

1619
00:47:20,243 --> 00:47:20,843
few minutes.

1620
00:47:20,843 --> 00:47:23,579
In addition, many of our

1621
00:47:23,579 --> 00:47:24,213
nonprofits small businesses and

1622
00:47:24,213 --> 00:47:24,847
community leaders help to

1623
00:47:24,847 --> 00:47:27,247
organize and support local

1624
00:47:28,451 --> 00:47:29,180
Lunar New Year festivals

1625
00:47:29,180 --> 00:47:29,719
throughout our region.

1626
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:30,353
And as you've heard from many

1627
00:47:30,353 --> 00:47:33,353
of the speakers, these are

1628
00:47:33,755 --> 00:47:34,457
festivals and celebrations that

1629
00:47:34,457 --> 00:47:34,991
help to spotlight and enrich

1630
00:47:34,991 --> 00:47:35,825
our city as a whole.

1631
00:47:35,825 --> 00:47:38,825

1634
00:47:40,429 --> 00:47:43,866

comes down to their uniforms

2238
01:17:37,665 --> 01:17:38,466

2239
01:17:38,466 --> 01:17:42,336
make sure that they are able to

2240
01:17:42,336 --> 01:17:43,104
have a facility that they have

2241
01:17:43,104 --> 01:17:46,507
a safe place, a place that they

2242
01:17:46,507 --> 01:17:47,208

2243
01:17:47,208 --> 01:17:50,808

I'm going to just build on

2384
01:20:59,533 --> 01:21:02,533
the comments made by my

2385
01:21:03,204 --> 01:21:03,772
colleague Councilmember Foster

2386
01:21:03,772 --> 01:21:04,439
Judge Judge Karen, you

2387
01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:06,839
mentioned that your daughter

2388
01:21:08,176 --> 01:21:08,810
has Grace and that she must

2389
01:21:08,810 --> 01:21:09,643
have gotten that from you

2390
01:21:09,643 --> 01:21:12,514
because she she would not have

2391
01:21:12,514 --> 01:21:13,214
spared you the embarrassment if

2392
01:21:13,214 --> 01:21:16,684
she was talking about you just

2393
01:21:16,684 --> 01:21:17,318
knowing how proud she is of all

2394
01:21:17,318 --> 01:21:19,318
of your accomplishments.

2395
01:21:22,900 --> 01:21:22,857
I just got to I had a chance to

2396
01:21:22,857 --> 01:21:23,725
know you for a while now and

2397
01:21:23,725 --> 01:21:26,940
I'm really excited to see this

2398
01:21:26,940 --> 01:21:26,795
appointment.

2399
01:21:26,795 --> 01:21:27,462
Kind of reflexively I assumed

2400
01:21:27,462 --> 01:21:30,462
it was for something in

2401
01:21:31,232 --> 01:21:31,900
the arts and when I took

2402
01:21:31,900 --> 01:21:32,600
another look and realized it

2403
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:33,301
was for the Venice Commission

2404
01:21:33,301 --> 01:21:35,670
that made me even more excited

2405
01:21:35,670 --> 01:21:36,337
and proud for you knowing

2406
01:21:36,337 --> 01:21:36,838
the time and effort that you

2407
01:21:36,838 --> 01:21:38,838
put into building

2408
01:21:40,541 --> 01:21:41,309
the qualifications and resum\

2409
01:21:41,309 --> 01:21:41,910
to be the very, very qualified

2410
01:21:41,910 --> 01:21:44,310
appointee that you are.

2411
01:21:45,313 --> 01:21:46,470
So congratulations on that.

2412
01:21:46,470 --> 01:21:46,948
Thank you for being willing to

2413
01:21:46,948 --> 01:21:49,883

the city.

2415
01:21:50,719 --> 01:21:51,553
And the last thing I'll say is

2416
01:21:51,553 --> 01:21:52,153
I had a chance to go through a

2417
01:21:52,153 --> 01:21:54,153
leadership program with

2418
01:21:55,156 --> 01:21:55,857
Schuyler and Schuyler is one of

2419
01:21:55,857 --> 01:21:56,458
the most unique and authentic

2420
01:21:56,458 --> 01:21:59,458
leaders that I've had an

2421
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:00,929
opportunity to stand alongside

2422
01:22:00,929 --> 01:22:03,965
And so I'm very excited to see

2423
01:22:03,965 --> 01:22:04,633
you take those skills

2424
01:22:04,633 --> 01:22:05,333
the professional experience

2425
01:22:05,333 --> 01:22:08,333
that you've now developed and

2426
01:22:08,936 --> 01:22:09,803
make sure that the city's funds

2427
01:22:09,803 --> 01:22:10,472
are being taken care of in a

2428
01:22:10,472 --> 01:22:11,720
way that I know will be

2429
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:13,141
impactful to the people.

2430
01:22:13,141 --> 01:22:13,508
So thank you for your service

2431
01:22:13,508 --> 01:22:14,242

appointment.

2434
01:22:18,980 --> 01:22:19,614
And with that I'm going to take

2435
01:22:19,614 --> 01:22:22,614
the privilege of a council

2436
01:22:23,251 --> 01:22:23,985
PRESIDENT And pause our meeting

2437
01:22:23,985 --> 01:22:24,719
and allow the students to leave

2438
01:22:24,719 --> 01:22:28,423
so they can make sure they get

2439
01:22:28,423 --> 01:22:29,190
back to class on time.

2440
01:22:29,190 --> 01:22:29,658

2443
01:22:33,995 --> 01:22:34,695
about how local government

01:22:34,695 --> 01:22:38,895
works and got get to know some

comments.

2464
01:23:23,211 --> 01:23:25,611
Actually they're much quieter

2465
01:23:26,581 --> 01:23:29,581
than I would have expected.

2466
01:23:32,540 --> 01:23:32,987
We could have flipped out.

2467
01:23:32,987 --> 01:23:36,587

2573
01:26:16,785 --> 01:26:17,519
Program.

2574
01:26:17,519 --> 01:26:18,200
We will need six minutes for

2575
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:18,387
our presentation.

2576
01:26:18,387 --> 01:26:18,854
All right.

2577
01:26:18,854 --> 01:26:20,854
Please proceed.

2578
01:26:21,723 --> 01:26:22,491
Thank you very much.

2579
01:26:22,491 --> 01:26:25,491
Today we are bringing forward

2580
01:26:26,562 --> 01:26:29,562
the creation of districts for

2581
01:26:31,566 --> 01:26:32,334
five project areas.

2582
01:26:32,334 --> 01:26:33,102
>> a high level overview of

2583
01:26:33,102 --> 01:26:36,102
this four part process includes

2584
01:26:36,804 --> 01:26:37,506
today our first hearing where

2585
01:26:37,506 --> 01:26:40,506
council will be taking action

2586
01:26:42,110 --> 01:26:42,711
to vote whether or not to hold

2587
01:26:42,711 --> 01:26:43,178
a notice to public hearing for

2588
01:26:43,178 --> 01:26:45,178
these districts.

2589
01:26:46,181 --> 01:26:47,490
Step two which is mailing

2590
01:26:47,490 --> 01:26:49,449
notices to residents and

2591
01:26:50,553 --> 01:26:51,520
utilities.

2592
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:55,120
The third step is a public

2593
01:26:56,580 --> 01:26:56,825
hearing and the fourth step is

2594
01:26:56,825 --> 01:27:00,425
the approval to dig a slightly

2595
01:27:00,695 --> 01:27:01,664
deeper.

2596
01:27:01,664 --> 01:27:05,264
Today is an opportunity to take

2597
01:27:06,168 --> 01:27:06,802
action that sets a notice to

2598
01:27:06,802 --> 01:27:07,403
hearing to determine that

2599
01:27:07,403 --> 01:27:09,803
district creation is in

2600
01:27:10,873 --> 01:27:11,740
the public's best interest.

2601
01:27:11,740 --> 01:27:14,943
Our goal is to have this set

2602
01:27:14,943 --> 01:27:15,344
four weeks from today FEBRUARY

2603
01:27:15,344 --> 01:27:17,344
25th, 2025.

2604
01:27:19,682 --> 01:27:20,383
If that action is taken today,

2605
01:27:20,383 --> 01:27:23,983
our next step is to follow

2606
01:27:24,530 --> 01:27:24,720
the public hearing process to

2607
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:27,720
send emails, mail notices to

2608
01:27:28,891 --> 01:27:29,492
utility owners and property

2609
01:27:29,492 --> 01:27:31,892
owners in these areas.

2610
01:27:33,462 --> 01:27:37,620
The third step is to have

2611
01:27:38,670 --> 01:27:38,701
the notice to public hearing

2612
01:27:38,701 --> 01:27:39,401
where council can find and

2613
01:27:39,401 --> 01:27:42,401
determine that the creation of

2614
01:27:43,305 --> 01:27:43,973
those districts is in

2615
01:27:43,973 --> 01:27:46,373
the general public interest.

2616
01:27:47,776 --> 01:27:48,377
It will also look at the secret

2617
01:27:48,377 --> 01:27:49,780
documentation to approve

2618
01:27:49,780 --> 01:27:51,780
mitigated negative declaration

2619
01:27:52,848 --> 01:27:53,916
as well as notice of exemption

2620
01:27:53,916 --> 01:27:57,516
for these items and then per

2621
01:27:58,860 --> 01:27:58,821
the city's undergrounding

2622
01:27:58,821 --> 01:28:00,821
utilities procedural ordinance.

2623
01:28:02,458 --> 01:28:03,590
It will assign responsibility

2624
01:28:03,590 --> 01:28:03,626
so the creation of these

2625
01:28:03,626 --> 01:28:05,626
districts then assigns

2626
01:28:07,263 --> 01:28:07,896
responsibilities to utility

2627
01:28:07,896 --> 01:28:08,597
companies to convert their

2628
01:28:08,597 --> 01:28:10,997
overhead lines to underground

2629
01:28:12,301 --> 01:28:13,102
facilities.

2630
01:28:13,102 --> 01:28:13,769
It also puts responsibility on

2631
01:28:13,769 --> 01:28:16,169
property owners to either

2632
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:20,640
cooperate with the city to

2633
01:28:22,278 --> 01:28:22,978
convert service connections or

2634
01:28:22,978 --> 01:28:23,379
to self perform those service

2635
01:28:23,379 --> 01:28:25,379
connections.

2636
01:28:27,416 --> 01:28:28,117
And then once those items are

2637
01:28:28,117 --> 01:28:28,784
approved we will be able to

2638
01:28:28,784 --> 01:28:31,654
move forward with notice to

2639
01:28:31,654 --> 01:28:32,388
proceed design, construct,

2640
01:28:32,388 --> 01:28:35,988
construction etc. And this is a

2641
01:28:36,559 --> 01:28:37,260
high level map of the locations

2642
01:28:37,260 --> 01:28:40,860
of the five districts we are

2643
01:28:41,697 --> 01:28:42,331
proposing to sort of get a

2644
01:28:42,331 --> 01:28:44,731
little bit more granular.

2645
01:28:46,435 --> 01:28:47,203
We have six ell North Claremont

2646
01:28:47,203 --> 01:28:50,803
in Council District two we have

2647
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:51,574
both for x as well as 4x1 in

2648
01:28:51,574 --> 01:28:53,574
council district four.

2649
01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:59,612
We have Project eight h which

2650
01:28:59,615 --> 01:29:00,383
is in Council District eight

2651
01:29:00,383 --> 01:29:03,983
and Project three cc one and

2652
01:29:06,522 --> 01:29:07,230
Council District nine.

2653
01:29:07,230 --> 01:29:07,657
To reiterate staff

2654
01:29:07,657 --> 01:29:10,570
recommendation today is to

2655
01:29:11,861 --> 01:29:12,595
approve a resolution to set a

2656
01:29:12,595 --> 01:29:15,595
public hearing date to consider

2657
01:29:16,332 --> 01:29:19,332
the formation of the subject

2658
01:29:19,836 --> 01:29:20,136
districts on FEBRUARY 25th

2659
01:29:20,136 --> 01:29:20,870
2025.

2660
01:29:20,870 --> 01:29:21,437
And with that we are happy to

2661
01:29:21,437 --> 01:29:23,437
answer any questions.

2662
01:29:24,774 --> 01:29:25,241
Thank you.

2663
01:29:25,241 --> 01:29:25,975
>> All right.

2664
01:29:25,975 --> 01:29:26,609
Thank you for the presentation.

2665
01:29:26,609 --> 01:29:27,760
Clerk Please proceed with

2666
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:27,443
public comment.

2667
01:29:27,443 --> 01:29:29,443
Thank you.

2668
01:29:30,713 --> 01:29:31,413
Counsel PRESIDENT I will note

2669
01:29:31,413 --> 01:29:32,114
for the record that there was

2670
01:29:32,114 --> 01:29:35,117
one comment in favor for item

2671
01:29:35,117 --> 01:29:35,785
as or to submitted through our

2672
01:29:35,785 --> 01:29:36,519
e comment form and that was

2673
01:29:36,519 --> 01:29:37,186
distributed to the council Here

2674
01:29:37,186 --> 01:29:39,622
in council chambers we have

2675
01:29:39,622 --> 01:29:40,322
Doreen Diaz.

2676
01:29:40,322 --> 01:29:42,722
You'll have two minutes.

2677
01:29:44,526 --> 01:29:45,127
Please proceed.

2678
01:29:45,127 --> 01:29:47,127
Thank you.

2679
01:29:49,364 --> 01:29:53,564
I am in favor of this project

2680
01:29:54,737 --> 01:29:58,937
but I am against the p did

2681
01:29:59,175 --> 01:29:59,609
misuse of the name of my

2682
01:29:59,609 --> 01:30:01,609
neighborhood.

2683
01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:03,579
There are two completely

2684
01:30:03,579 --> 01:30:05,579
separate neighborhood.

2685
01:30:07,917 --> 01:30:10,917
One is called Ham Russia

2686
01:30:12,922 --> 01:30:13,522
neighborhood And across the way

2687
01:30:13,522 --> 01:30:15,522
is Alameda neighborhood.

2688
01:30:17,193 --> 01:30:18,161
They are not one neighborhood.

2689
01:30:18,161 --> 01:30:22,231
I am so fed up with seeing

2690
01:30:22,231 --> 01:30:22,965
secret report and seeing maps.

2691
01:30:22,965 --> 01:30:25,365
COUNCILMAN Henry Foster heard

2692
01:30:27,236 --> 01:30:27,937
this personally on SEPTEMBER

2693
01:30:27,937 --> 01:30:31,340
21st at the Living Well center

2694
01:30:31,340 --> 01:30:31,641
from me as well as FEBRUARY

2695
01:30:31,641 --> 01:30:33,641
2024.

2696
01:30:36,440 --> 01:30:36,813
The maps are all wrong.

2697
01:30:36,813 --> 01:30:39,213
The Planning Department is

2698
01:30:41,450 --> 01:30:43,850
approving reports they approved

2699
01:30:45,989 --> 01:30:46,589
a air quality report that said

2700
01:30:46,589 --> 01:30:48,589
the Skyline Neighborhood

2701
01:30:50,927 --> 01:30:51,227
the Encanto Planning Committee

2702
01:30:51,227 --> 01:30:52,950
.

2703
01:30:52,950 --> 01:30:55,695
Well, Hamish is in the skyline

2704
01:30:56,165 --> 01:30:56,533
Paradise Hills Planning

2705
01:30:56,533 --> 01:30:57,200
Committee.

2706
01:30:57,200 --> 01:31:00,200
So if the planning committee

2707
01:31:01,204 --> 01:31:01,871
can't see mistakes such as some

2708
01:31:01,871 --> 01:31:03,871
company spendthrift company

2709
01:31:05,607 --> 01:31:06,276
reviewing an Encanto planning

2710
01:31:06,276 --> 01:31:09,276
map when it's the skyline

2711
01:31:10,713 --> 01:31:11,347
Paradise Hills planning map

2712
01:31:11,347 --> 01:31:13,747
that's a serious problem.

2713
01:31:15,418 --> 01:31:16,152
That means there were proving

2714
01:31:16,152 --> 01:31:19,152
report without looking at them.

2715
01:31:20,356 --> 01:31:20,657
So once again I am in favor of

2716
01:31:20,657 --> 01:31:21,323
this.

2717
01:31:21,323 --> 01:31:21,791
I strongly suggest you do a

2718
01:31:21,791 --> 01:31:23,791
public hearing.

2719
01:31:25,428 --> 01:31:26,162
Notice I did not hear during

2720
01:31:26,162 --> 01:31:29,162
this presentation what the cost

2721
01:31:29,632 --> 01:31:30,300
would be to homeowners.

2722
01:31:30,300 --> 01:31:31,330
Yes people have wanted this

2723
01:31:31,330 --> 01:31:34,330
undergrounding for a decade but

2724
01:31:35,710 --> 01:31:35,839
we need to know the cost and

2725
01:31:35,839 --> 01:31:36,539
it's going to take at least 90

2726
01:31:36,539 --> 01:31:39,539
days probably for people to

2727
01:31:39,742 --> 01:31:40,510
come up with money if it's

2728
01:31:40,510 --> 01:31:40,977
going to be more than a couple

2729
01:31:40,977 --> 01:31:42,977
hundred dollars.

2730
01:31:44,581 --> 01:31:48,251
So we need a public notice and

2731
01:31:48,251 --> 01:31:48,985
I will be going to every house

2732
01:31:48,985 --> 01:31:49,385
within 300ft ensuring that they

2733
01:31:49,385 --> 01:31:50,220
do get one.

2734
01:31:50,220 --> 01:31:53,220
Thank you for that concluding

2735
01:31:53,723 --> 01:31:54,457
comment.

2736
01:31:54,457 --> 01:31:55,158
I started the five minute time

2737
01:31:55,158 --> 01:31:55,825
we're hearing council chambers

2738
01:31:55,825 --> 01:31:56,159
going to those participating

2739
01:31:56,159 --> 01:31:58,159
online.

2740
01:31:58,461 --> 01:31:59,128
We currently have five speakers

2741
01:31:59,128 --> 01:32:01,528
starting with Lori Saldana.

2742
01:32:02,532 --> 01:32:02,832
If you can please unmute.

2743
01:32:02,832 --> 01:32:03,433
Yes.

2744
01:32:03,433 --> 01:32:03,700
Can you hear me?

2745
01:32:03,700 --> 01:32:05,700
Yes.

2746
01:32:07,570 --> 01:32:08,338
Please proceed.

2747
01:32:08,338 --> 01:32:10,738
>> So I'm calling about

2748
01:32:11,841 --> 01:32:12,709
the North Claremont proposal

2749
01:32:12,709 --> 01:32:16,680
for Block six l and I need to

2750
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:20,280
ask what happened to the prior

2751
01:32:21,683 --> 01:32:22,552
block that was designated back

2752
01:32:22,552 --> 01:32:26,152
in 2019 as Prop block 6k2 for

2753
01:32:26,423 --> 01:32:26,790
an underground utility

2754
01:32:26,790 --> 01:32:27,590
district.

2755
01:32:27,590 --> 01:32:28,391
If you look at that map you'll

2756
01:32:28,391 --> 01:32:31,391
see it's north on Appleton

2757
01:32:31,962 --> 01:32:32,629
going northward up to the end

2758
01:32:32,629 --> 01:32:35,629
of the north Claremont area.

2759
01:32:35,965 --> 01:32:36,666
But the street which is

2760
01:32:36,666 --> 01:32:40,266
bordered just to the south of

2761
01:32:40,704 --> 01:32:41,403
that we received a notice

2762
01:32:41,403 --> 01:32:42,720
almost six years ago of an

2763
01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:44,720
underground utility district

2764
01:32:46,142 --> 01:32:46,910
and nothing has been done.

2765
01:32:46,910 --> 01:32:47,644
Now I know there was a

2766
01:32:47,644 --> 01:32:50,440
renegotiation of the franchise.

2767
01:32:50,380 --> 01:32:51,470
I know there was covid But in

2768
01:32:51,470 --> 01:32:53,447
the meantime another utility

2769
01:32:55,151 --> 01:32:55,919
district for undergrounding was

2770
01:32:55,919 --> 01:32:59,519
announced to the south of this

2771
01:33:00,257 --> 01:33:00,991
neighborhood and others went to

2772
01:33:00,991 --> 01:33:01,691
the north of this neighborhood.

2773
01:33:01,691 --> 01:33:05,291
But the one that was announced

2774
01:33:05,527 --> 01:33:06,196
on MAY 13, 2019 in a letter to

2775
01:33:06,196 --> 01:33:08,596
property owners saying that

2776
01:33:09,650 --> 01:33:09,833
the block 6k2 underground

2777
01:33:09,833 --> 01:33:12,833
utility district was going to

2778
01:33:14,437 --> 01:33:17,437
be formed has just apparently

2779
01:33:19,209 --> 01:33:19,943
disappeared from the process

2780
01:33:19,943 --> 01:33:23,543
And I have reached out to

2781
01:33:24,114 --> 01:33:24,747
the offices I went to

2782
01:33:24,747 --> 01:33:25,115
presentations on the other

2783
01:33:25,115 --> 01:33:25,715
districts.

2784
01:33:25,715 --> 01:33:28,715
No one can explain where

2785
01:33:29,386 --> 01:33:30,860
the process is so I will

2786
01:33:30,860 --> 01:33:30,754
continue asking and showing up

2787
01:33:30,754 --> 01:33:32,754
and requesting information.

2788
01:33:33,656 --> 01:33:34,291
All of these neighborhoods are

2789
01:33:34,291 --> 01:33:37,891
within a block or two of

2790
01:33:38,161 --> 01:33:41,761
canyons and open space and it

2791
01:33:42,965 --> 01:33:43,533
is a fire hazard to have these

2792
01:33:43,533 --> 01:33:44,434
utilities aboveground.

2793
01:33:44,434 --> 01:33:47,471
And for those few of us who

2794
01:33:47,471 --> 01:33:48,137
still have maintained mature

2795
01:33:48,137 --> 01:33:51,737
trees as part of the Urban

2796
01:33:52,409 --> 01:33:53,143
Forestry Initiative and are

2797
01:33:53,143 --> 01:33:53,944
doing our best to maintain them

2798
01:33:53,944 --> 01:33:57,544
even with overhead lines it is

2799
01:33:57,647 --> 01:33:58,348
adding a cost and a burden

2800
01:33:58,348 --> 01:34:01,948
because of having to trim it

2801
01:34:02,385 --> 01:34:03,850
back more often And so these

2802
01:34:03,850 --> 01:34:06,685
are all real costs and time

2803
01:34:08,910 --> 01:34:08,824
costs and I would appreciate an

2804
01:34:08,824 --> 01:34:09,525
update from Jennifer Campbell's

2805
01:34:09,525 --> 01:34:11,661
office on the status of six k

2806
01:34:11,661 --> 01:34:12,629
to your time to you included

2807
01:34:12,629 --> 01:34:16,229
Next is 7968 If you can please

2808
01:34:23,240 --> 01:34:24,400
unmute Thank you The city clerk

2809
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:26,610
out a district three a decision

2810
01:34:26,610 --> 01:34:30,210
in my district but I really

2811
01:34:30,446 --> 01:34:31,181
when I saw and any in there I

2812
01:34:31,181 --> 01:34:31,515
immediately said I want to look

2813
01:34:31,515 --> 01:34:33,515
at this.

2814
01:34:36,860 --> 01:34:39,756
So a couple of things I heard

2815
01:34:39,756 --> 01:34:40,624
that there's five districts so

2816
01:34:40,624 --> 01:34:43,860
I heard the 4x1 and the 4x2 and

2817
01:34:43,860 --> 01:34:44,561
that makes it five So I hope

2818
01:34:44,561 --> 01:34:47,561
that clarifies for the public

2819
01:34:48,498 --> 01:34:52,980
how that breaks down The final

2820
01:34:52,569 --> 01:34:53,700
mitigated negative declarations

2821
01:34:53,700 --> 01:34:54,104
through the years.

2822
01:34:54,104 --> 01:34:58,275
I found those things to be so

2823
01:34:58,275 --> 01:34:59,143
important for all of you and I

2824
01:34:59,143 --> 01:35:02,743
know you always look at them

2825
01:35:03,450 --> 01:35:03,747
and make sure that they're

2826
01:35:03,747 --> 01:35:06,747
kosher before you adopt them.

2827
01:35:07,951 --> 01:35:08,719
Setting the public hearing Date

2828
01:35:08,719 --> 01:35:12,319
I love public hearings and this

2829
01:35:12,423 --> 01:35:13,123
is so I can even put the word

2830
01:35:13,123 --> 01:35:13,590
out at how important this is

2831
01:35:13,590 --> 01:35:14,240
for the public.

2832
01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:16,240
So thank you.

2833
01:35:17,761 --> 01:35:18,628
Thank you.

2834
01:35:18,628 --> 01:35:21,932
No question On the core you had

2835
01:35:21,932 --> 01:35:23,932
that wonderful chart.

2836
01:35:25,869 --> 01:35:26,670
It was scary but there was a

2837
01:35:26,670 --> 01:35:29,670
191 million total of I think

2838
01:35:30,541 --> 01:35:31,274
there were well 4 or 5 items

2839
01:35:31,274 --> 01:35:34,874
there I saw for four districts.

2840
01:35:35,379 --> 01:35:35,879
So when and how it did physical

2841
01:35:35,879 --> 01:35:37,879
considerate fiscal

2842
01:35:38,247 --> 01:35:38,848
considerations were zero not

2843
01:35:38,848 --> 01:35:39,216
something in a year or

2844
01:35:39,216 --> 01:35:41,216
something.

2845
01:35:43,387 --> 01:35:44,860
When and how will the cost hit

2846
01:35:44,860 --> 01:35:47,686
a budget So and that word

2847
01:35:49,359 --> 01:35:50,930
estimated cost always scares me

2848
01:35:50,930 --> 01:35:50,761
when I'm involves a big project

2849
01:35:50,761 --> 01:35:53,960
and they're complicated and

2850
01:35:53,960 --> 01:35:53,864
with our economic cycles God

2851
01:35:53,864 --> 01:35:56,864
only knows what an estimated

2852
01:35:58,135 --> 01:35:58,702
cost means.

2853
01:35:58,702 --> 01:35:59,103
So thank you.

2854
01:35:59,103 --> 01:35:59,636
Thank you.

2855
01:35:59,636 --> 01:36:01,636

01:36:12,750 --> 01:36:16,350
My comment is just to let

01:36:25,162 --> 01:36:25,763
groups After the second hearing

2867
01:36:25,763 --> 01:36:28,763
to follow the advice of

2868
01:36:30,134 --> 01:36:30,734
the utility undergrounding

2869
01:36:30,734 --> 01:36:31,301
the advisory committee.

2870
01:36:31,301 --> 01:36:34,301
>> So this is not just

2871
01:36:35,339 --> 01:36:35,706
something for the utilities in

2872
01:36:35,706 --> 01:36:36,340
the city.

2873
01:36:36,340 --> 01:36:36,907
>> There is some community

2874
01:36:36,907 --> 01:36:38,907
participation as well.

2875
01:36:39,776 --> 01:36:40,177
Thank you.

2876
01:36:40,177 --> 01:36:40,744
Thank you.

2877
01:36:40,744 --> 01:36:43,144
Next is John Stump.

2878
01:36:44,470 --> 01:36:47,647
If you can please unmute maybe

2879
01:36:49,987 --> 01:36:50,687
Thank you very much as dg and e

2880
01:36:50,687 --> 01:36:53,687
is the most expensive utility

2881
01:36:54,558 --> 01:36:55,325
in the nation it's the most

2882
01:36:55,325 --> 01:36:58,325
expensive utility in the nation

2883
01:36:58,729 --> 01:37:01,729
because the vote of this

2884
01:37:03,534 --> 01:37:04,268
council particularly

2885
01:37:04,268 --> 01:37:07,268
the deciding vote of COUNCILMAN

2886
01:37:09,390 --> 01:37:09,773
Then PRESIDENT Shawn e Rivera

2887
01:37:09,773 --> 01:37:12,773
now you've got you're proposing

2888
01:37:13,611 --> 01:37:14,178
next I agree with all

2889
01:37:14,178 --> 01:37:16,178
the previous speakers

2890
01:37:17,781 --> 01:37:20,781
particularly the speaker No on

2891
01:37:22,586 --> 01:37:23,286
footnote on the footnote you're

2892
01:37:23,286 --> 01:37:25,686
creating special districts and

2893
01:37:27,625 --> 01:37:28,492
you're going to associate fees.

2894
01:37:28,492 --> 01:37:32,692
Those fees can only be used for

2895
01:37:32,730 --> 01:37:33,430
that specific benefit, not for

2896
01:37:33,430 --> 01:37:36,430
any assistance to the general

2897
01:37:37,501 --> 01:37:38,680
fund.

2898
01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:38,736
That's the law under

2899
01:37:38,736 --> 01:37:40,736
the California Constitution.

2900
01:37:42,500 --> 01:37:42,772
I particularly concern when you

2901
01:37:42,772 --> 01:37:45,772
set up these special utility

2902
01:37:47,144 --> 01:37:47,912
districts that you've granted a

2903
01:37:47,912 --> 01:37:50,912
franchise to a company that's

2904
01:37:52,149 --> 01:37:52,750
making that's the most

2905
01:37:52,750 --> 01:37:55,150
expensive and is making

2906
01:37:56,720 --> 01:37:57,421
millions in profit and paying

2907
01:37:57,421 --> 01:37:59,821
their executives millions that

2908
01:38:01,959 --> 01:38:02,826
now you going to tax these

2909
01:38:02,826 --> 01:38:05,826
properties to put their lines

2910
01:38:07,164 --> 01:38:07,932
underground when it should have

2911
01:38:07,932 --> 01:38:10,932
been a cost absorbed by

2912
01:38:12,300 --> 01:38:12,737
the franchise Whatever you do

2913
01:38:12,737 --> 01:38:16,107
and it looks like you're headed

2914
01:38:16,107 --> 01:38:16,640
down this road because people

2915
01:38:16,640 --> 01:38:18,640
want their utilities

2916
01:38:21,145 --> 01:38:24,145
underground to make sure that

2917
01:38:24,915 --> 01:38:25,549
when we pay the $100 million

2918
01:38:25,549 --> 01:38:27,949
here to underground these

2919
01:38:29,654 --> 01:38:30,354
utilities that whatever is put

2920
01:38:30,354 --> 01:38:33,354
into those conduits belongs to

2921
01:38:33,958 --> 01:38:34,792
the city of San Diego.

2922
01:38:34,792 --> 01:38:37,792
And when a future council

2923
01:38:39,430 --> 01:38:40,970
decides to make it a public

2924
01:38:40,970 --> 01:38:40,564
utility we don't have to pay

2925
01:38:40,564 --> 01:38:42,564
for those wires.

2926
01:38:44,367 --> 01:38:45,690
You had a third time.

2927
01:38:45,690 --> 01:38:45,436
>> Thank you very much.

2928
01:38:45,436 --> 01:38:47,436
Bye bye.

2929
01:38:49,307 --> 01:38:50,740
Thank you.

2930
01:38:50,740 --> 01:38:50,774
Blair Wickman As our final

2931
01:38:50,774 --> 01:38:53,174
speaker, the financial crisis

2932
01:38:53,444 --> 01:38:53,744
concluded There we are all

2933
01:38:53,744 --> 01:38:54,412
right.

2934
01:38:54,412 --> 01:38:55,450
Thank you And thanks to

2935
01:38:55,450 --> 01:38:58,450
the words of the previous

2936
01:38:58,448 --> 01:38:58,749
speaker, MR. Stump and nice to

2937
01:38:58,749 --> 01:38:59,717
hear.

2938
01:38:59,717 --> 01:39:03,486
I wish I had better depth to

2939
01:39:03,486 --> 01:39:05,886
understand any subject Growing

2940
01:39:07,558 --> 01:39:08,259
up in the 80s it became a free

2941
01:39:08,259 --> 01:39:11,528
market system in how we would

2942
01:39:11,528 --> 01:39:12,960
use and place our utility and

2943
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:14,960
in offer maintenance.

2944
01:39:16,267 --> 01:39:16,667
I don't know if that was such a

2945
01:39:16,667 --> 01:39:17,268
great idea.

2946
01:39:17,268 --> 01:39:20,268
We've been trained up in

2947
01:39:21,505 --> 01:39:22,206
the Bay Area to bring back, you

2948
01:39:22,206 --> 01:39:25,206
know, city owned utilities and

2949
01:39:25,776 --> 01:39:26,544
city managed utility.

2950
01:39:26,544 --> 01:39:27,245
Uh, good luck What MR. Stump

2951
01:39:27,245 --> 01:39:30,845
has offered that I think it

2952
01:39:31,150 --> 01:39:31,749
could be a really good system

2953
01:39:31,749 --> 01:39:32,583
if we are a very organized

2954
01:39:32,583 --> 01:39:35,152
system if you want to practice

2955
01:39:35,152 --> 01:39:35,586
it I think you can bring some

2956
01:39:35,586 --> 01:39:37,586
good results.

2957
01:39:39,590 --> 01:39:40,291
Good luck on those efforts.

2958
01:39:40,291 --> 01:39:40,925
I'm also thankful that you are

2959
01:39:40,925 --> 01:39:41,259
thinking of these sort of

2960
01:39:41,259 --> 01:39:43,259
things.

2961
01:39:43,327 --> 01:39:43,794
So grateful.

2962
01:39:43,794 --> 01:39:45,794
Thank you.

2963
01:39:48,232 --> 01:39:48,866
It's a way to address wildfire

2964
01:39:48,866 --> 01:39:51,866
danger for the future that

2965
01:39:53,838 --> 01:39:54,705
we're trying to consider ways

2966
01:39:54,705 --> 01:39:55,440
It's it's to me I'm trying to

2967
01:39:55,440 --> 01:39:58,176
learn It can be a combination

2968
01:39:58,176 --> 01:39:58,943
of things of how wildfires take

2969
01:39:58,943 --> 01:39:59,277
place And we have it can be

2970
01:39:59,277 --> 01:40:01,277
manmade.

2971
01:40:02,713 --> 01:40:03,881
It can be natural.

2972
01:40:03,881 --> 01:40:07,852
We have to kind of all be

2973
01:40:07,852 --> 01:40:11,452
responsible and on alert in our

2974
01:40:12,190 --> 01:40:12,957
fire issues in the future.

2975
01:40:12,957 --> 01:40:13,825
I think we could have made

2976
01:40:13,825 --> 01:40:17,995
steps to not for things not to

2977
01:40:17,995 --> 01:40:18,763
happen in to San Diego the way

2978
01:40:18,763 --> 01:40:21,866
they have We have we have to

2979
01:40:21,866 --> 01:40:26,660
want to really care and not not

2980
01:40:26,504 --> 01:40:27,204
when in excitement we are an

2981
01:40:27,204 --> 01:40:27,872
event like what's happening in

2982
01:40:27,872 --> 01:40:31,109
L.A. Happens that we don't

2983
01:40:31,109 --> 01:40:31,776
offer a copycat and so good

2984
01:40:31,776 --> 01:40:34,176
luck how we're doing

2985
01:40:36,460 --> 01:40:36,514
responsible good practices by

2986
01:40:36,514 --> 01:40:37,247
undergrounding.

2987
01:40:37,247 --> 01:40:41,190
It's a part of the system of

2988
01:40:41,190 --> 01:40:41,619
learning and in overall care

2989
01:40:41,619 --> 01:40:42,353
and how we practice our

2990
01:40:42,353 --> 01:40:45,953
practices in the future that we

2991
01:40:46,900 --> 01:40:46,958
don't want to harm each other.

2992
01:40:46,958 --> 01:40:50,628
That has to be a reminder and

2993
01:40:50,628 --> 01:40:51,262
that we do good government

2994
01:40:51,262 --> 01:40:51,929
practices in the following

2995
01:40:51,929 --> 01:40:52,363
months and don't go crazy on

2996
01:40:52,363 --> 01:40:54,363
our practices.

2997
01:40:55,633 --> 01:40:56,100
Thank you.

2998
01:40:56,100 --> 01:40:56,734
>> Thank you.

2999
01:40:56,734 --> 01:40:57,367
That does conclude public

3000
01:40:57,367 --> 01:40:57,669
comment and items 502 All

3001
01:40:57,669 --> 01:40:58,360
right.

3002
01:40:58,360 --> 01:41:00,360
Thank you.

3003
01:41:00,204 --> 01:41:00,905
Anybody that called in we'll

3004
01:41:00,905 --> 01:41:01,472
now go to my colleagues for

3005
01:41:01,472 --> 01:41:02,500
questions and comments

3006
01:41:02,500 --> 01:41:04,500
entertain a motion.

3007
01:41:05,376 --> 01:41:05,910
We'll start out with council

3008
01:41:05,910 --> 01:41:06,611
member Elio Rivera.

3009
01:41:06,611 --> 01:41:09,110
>> Thank you Council PRESIDENT

3010
01:41:09,130 --> 01:41:09,781
Thank you for the work on this.

3011
01:41:09,781 --> 01:41:13,381
I just will note the importance

3012
01:41:13,885 --> 01:41:14,418
of undergrounding in areas

3013
01:41:14,418 --> 01:41:15,153
along urban canyons.

3014
01:41:15,153 --> 01:41:18,153
The area outlined in Kensington

3015
01:41:19,190 --> 01:41:19,891
does run very near to urban

3016
01:41:19,891 --> 01:41:23,491
canyons and so there's a there

3017
01:41:23,661 --> 01:41:24,329
is a legitimate safety

3018
01:41:24,329 --> 01:41:24,963
enhancement through the that

3019
01:41:24,963 --> 01:41:26,963
would occur through

3020
01:41:29,234 --> 01:41:29,534
the undergrounding of these

3021
01:41:29,534 --> 01:41:30,268
wires.

3022
01:41:30,268 --> 01:41:30,568
So thank you for your work on

3023
01:41:30,568 --> 01:41:31,168
this.

3024
01:41:31,168 --> 01:41:33,171
I will move staff

3025
01:41:33,171 --> 01:41:33,938
recommendation Council

3026
01:41:33,938 --> 01:41:34,739
PRESIDENT All right we have a

3027
01:41:34,739 --> 01:41:37,739
motion by council member Yellow

3028
01:41:38,776 --> 01:41:42,280
Rivera and we'll have a second

3029
01:41:42,280 --> 01:41:42,614
by council member Marti von

3030
01:41:42,614 --> 01:41:44,614
Wolpert.

3031
01:41:47,386 --> 01:41:48,850
Think about it such not seeing

3032
01:41:48,850 --> 01:41:51,685
anybody else in lights Have a

3033
01:41:52,524 --> 01:41:53,240
couple of questions until you

3034
01:41:53,240 --> 01:41:53,725
all have come to

3035
01:41:53,725 --> 01:41:54,459
the Environment Committee Over

3036
01:41:54,459 --> 01:41:57,161
the past three years we've seen

3037
01:41:57,161 --> 01:41:57,762
some updates.

3038
01:41:57,762 --> 01:41:58,296
We've seen some candid

3039
01:41:58,296 --> 01:42:00,296
conversations about

3040
01:42:02,300 --> 01:42:03,100
the struggles a number of

3041
01:42:03,100 --> 01:42:06,700
people spoke about like we were

3042
01:42:07,438 --> 01:42:07,805
charging new fees or we were

3043
01:42:07,805 --> 01:42:09,805
creating.

3044
01:42:11,408 --> 01:42:12,177
Can you clarify that in fact

3045
01:42:12,177 --> 01:42:16,800
this that there is not going to

3046
01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:16,748
be any charges to the property

3047
01:42:16,748 --> 01:42:17,415
owners in any of these

3048
01:42:17,415 --> 01:42:17,682
districts, is that correct?

3049
01:42:17,682 --> 01:42:19,682
Yes.

3050
01:42:21,519 --> 01:42:22,286
Your understanding is correct.

3051
01:42:22,286 --> 01:42:25,886
So this is funded by a

3052
01:42:26,257 --> 01:42:26,958
surcharge which is a percentage

3053
01:42:26,958 --> 01:42:27,625
of the utility bill that goes

3054
01:42:27,625 --> 01:42:30,625
into the surcharge fund and

3055
01:42:31,496 --> 01:42:32,630
that is what pays for all

3056
01:42:32,630 --> 01:42:32,529
underground throughout

3057
01:42:32,529 --> 01:42:34,529
the entire city.

3058
01:42:35,332 --> 01:42:36,100
There are no new fees or cost

3059
01:42:36,100 --> 01:42:36,468
requirements on any subject

3060
01:42:36,468 --> 01:42:37,168
residents okay.

3061
01:42:37,168 --> 01:42:40,604
And it's a good reminder that

3062
01:42:40,604 --> 01:42:41,239
everybody pays that surcharge

3063
01:42:41,239 --> 01:42:41,805
Even if your community was

3064
01:42:41,805 --> 01:42:43,805
built with underground

3065
01:42:45,743 --> 01:42:46,411
utilities at the get go going

3066
01:42:46,411 --> 01:42:50,110
forward And I think the only

3067
01:42:50,215 --> 01:42:50,915
question is if their electrical

3068
01:42:50,915 --> 01:42:51,683
panel is substandard or not

3069
01:42:51,683 --> 01:42:54,683
according to code that there

3070
01:42:55,753 --> 01:42:56,286
MAY be some issues there that

3071
01:42:56,286 --> 01:42:56,654
need to be resolved.

3072
01:42:56,654 --> 01:42:58,255
>> Yes.

3073
01:42:58,255 --> 01:43:00,655
To clarify that piece.

3074
01:43:03,127 --> 01:43:03,927
>> It's not to put them to a

3075
01:43:03,927 --> 01:43:07,527
not to do anything more than

3076
01:43:09,100 --> 01:43:09,868
what is required by the code to

3077
01:43:09,868 --> 01:43:12,737
bring it up to standard And and

3078
01:43:12,737 --> 01:43:13,405
I know that there has been some

3079
01:43:13,405 --> 01:43:15,405
communication problems in

3080
01:43:17,742 --> 01:43:18,476
the past by folks understanding

3081
01:43:18,476 --> 01:43:21,476
what today's action would mean

3082
01:43:23,281 --> 01:43:24,115
So one presumes that you come

3083
01:43:24,115 --> 01:43:25,830
back in a week excuse me in a

3084
01:43:25,830 --> 01:43:27,986
month and this is going to be

3085
01:43:27,986 --> 01:43:28,720
adopted by the council.

3086
01:43:28,720 --> 01:43:31,720
When would people actually see

3087
01:43:32,489 --> 01:43:33,158
folks on the ground and

3088
01:43:33,158 --> 01:43:33,758
starting the undergrounding

3089
01:43:33,758 --> 01:43:35,758
process 2025 right now?

3090
01:43:37,562 --> 01:43:38,329
Yeah, that's a great question.

3091
01:43:38,329 --> 01:43:41,329
So as you know council

3092
01:43:42,567 --> 01:43:43,268
PRESIDENT These projects are

3093
01:43:43,268 --> 01:43:45,268
large infrastructure community

3094
01:43:46,571 --> 01:43:47,339
improvement projects that span

3095
01:43:47,339 --> 01:43:49,339
5 to 7 years sometimes.

3096
01:43:50,575 --> 01:43:51,243
So once we come back and

3097
01:43:51,243 --> 01:43:51,910
council takes the action to

3098
01:43:51,910 --> 01:43:54,310
approve these districts that

3099
01:43:56,181 --> 01:44:00,381
will then allow us to go to

3100
01:44:00,552 --> 01:44:01,419
into a notice to proceed then

3101
01:44:01,419 --> 01:44:04,923
we do base maps etc. After all

3102
01:44:04,923 --> 01:44:05,557
that data is completed we have

3103
01:44:05,557 --> 01:44:08,557
a design portion that can

3104
01:44:09,561 --> 01:44:10,362
sometimes sometimes take up to

3105
01:44:10,362 --> 01:44:12,731
one year to 18 months to

3106
01:44:12,731 --> 01:44:13,698
complete during that time at

3107
01:44:13,698 --> 01:44:16,698
around 60% we have a community

3108
01:44:17,569 --> 01:44:18,436
forum so that is one area that

3109
01:44:18,436 --> 01:44:21,873
we are we improve for getting

3110
01:44:21,873 --> 01:44:22,606
the community's input.

3111
01:44:22,606 --> 01:44:26,111
After that we go into a

3112
01:44:26,111 --> 01:44:26,711
construction time frame and

3113
01:44:26,711 --> 01:44:27,479
after all the design is

3114
01:44:27,479 --> 01:44:30,479
completed we do another public

3115
01:44:31,416 --> 01:44:32,150
forum for for construction and

3116
01:44:32,150 --> 01:44:34,550
construction can last depending

3117
01:44:36,221 --> 01:44:36,955
on the phase anywhere where

3118
01:44:36,955 --> 01:44:39,355
between 1 and 4 years including

3119
01:44:41,326 --> 01:44:42,260
the very last section which is

3120
01:44:42,260 --> 01:44:42,694
after the polls come down and

3121
01:44:42,694 --> 01:44:46,294
all of the wires have been

3122
01:44:46,397 --> 01:44:47,320
underground it we do community

3123
01:44:47,320 --> 01:44:49,432
improvement So things like

3124
01:44:50,301 --> 01:44:50,936
paving the road curb cut outs,

3125
01:44:50,936 --> 01:44:51,570
tree planting and then we

3126
01:44:51,570 --> 01:44:53,970
upgrade any kind of

3127
01:44:55,273 --> 01:44:55,640
streetlights that are

3128
01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:56,341
necessary.

3129
01:44:56,341 --> 01:44:59,341
So when something comes before

3130
01:45:00,311 --> 01:45:00,979
this body to approve to be

3131
01:45:00,979 --> 01:45:03,979
approved, there are it goes

3132
01:45:05,249 --> 01:45:05,951
into a lot of design for

3133
01:45:05,951 --> 01:45:08,951
several years So people might

3134
01:45:10,220 --> 01:45:10,656
not see, you know, actual

3135
01:45:10,656 --> 01:45:11,323
the ground actually being

3136
01:45:11,323 --> 01:45:13,723
trenched for several years.

3137
01:45:15,526 --> 01:45:16,227
I will also add that my staff

3138
01:45:16,227 --> 01:45:18,627
because of these communication

3139
01:45:20,565 --> 01:45:21,233
struggles in the past I have

3140
01:45:21,233 --> 01:45:24,233
staff that were directed to

3141
01:45:25,204 --> 01:45:25,871
look at the overall customer

3142
01:45:25,871 --> 01:45:26,571
journey and how many current

3143
01:45:26,571 --> 01:45:29,571
touches we have during that

3144
01:45:30,275 --> 01:45:31,209
customer journey.

3145
01:45:31,209 --> 01:45:34,546
We found a good chunk of

3146
01:45:34,546 --> 01:45:35,213
communication upfront but not a

3147
01:45:35,213 --> 01:45:35,781
lot of communication during

3148
01:45:35,781 --> 01:45:37,781
construction So we've

3149
01:45:39,618 --> 01:45:40,218
identified those gaps and staff

3150
01:45:40,218 --> 01:45:40,952
are currently developing

3151
01:45:40,952 --> 01:45:43,352
additional communications so we

3152
01:45:44,722 --> 01:45:45,390
can make sure that residents

3153
01:45:45,390 --> 01:45:45,791
are more up to date more

3154
01:45:45,791 --> 01:45:47,791
frequently.

3155
01:45:49,829 --> 01:45:50,896
>> All right.

3156
01:45:50,896 --> 01:45:53,899
I think key thing I think for

3157
01:45:53,899 --> 01:45:54,566
anybody listening and this is

3158
01:45:54,566 --> 01:45:56,966
we're talking several years

3159
01:45:58,937 --> 01:45:59,738
going forward and you know, to

3160
01:45:59,738 --> 01:46:03,708
be blunt, it's hard for me to

3161
01:46:03,708 --> 01:46:04,442
support this item given how

3162
01:46:04,442 --> 01:46:05,110
many projects that are actually

3163
01:46:05,110 --> 01:46:07,510
construction ready that are

3164
01:46:08,847 --> 01:46:09,314
just kind of stuck and not

3165
01:46:09,314 --> 01:46:10,150
moving forward.

3166
01:46:10,150 --> 01:46:13,150
Certainly some in my district

3167
01:46:13,819 --> 01:46:14,553
perhaps and others others that

3168
01:46:14,553 --> 01:46:18,153
are already in the design queue

3169
01:46:18,924 --> 01:46:19,625
and we don't seem to have

3170
01:46:19,625 --> 01:46:23,225
the ability and I'm not going

3171
01:46:23,762 --> 01:46:24,496
to point fingers about who to

3172
01:46:24,496 --> 01:46:27,765
blame and except maybe to blame

3173
01:46:27,765 --> 01:46:28,667
everybody in the whole system

3174
01:46:28,667 --> 01:46:29,367
And the way we do this what was

3175
01:46:29,367 --> 01:46:31,767
originally an ambitious ideas

3176
01:46:32,738 --> 01:46:33,439
but given the funding that we

3177
01:46:33,439 --> 01:46:34,600
actually generate through our

3178
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:36,600
surcharge process and

3179
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:38,810
the dramatic increase in costs

3180
01:46:38,810 --> 01:46:39,444
in delivering these you know, I

3181
01:46:39,444 --> 01:46:41,844
think there's some serious

3182
01:46:42,948 --> 01:46:43,649
questions about whether

3183
01:46:43,649 --> 01:46:44,316
the dollars are there to even

3184
01:46:44,316 --> 01:46:47,853
fund the ones that are in

3185
01:46:47,853 --> 01:46:48,787
the queue already.

3186
01:46:48,787 --> 01:46:51,723
And so I would hope that

3187
01:46:51,723 --> 01:46:52,391
Councilmember Rivera would

3188
01:46:52,391 --> 01:46:53,920
schedule at the Environment

3189
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:56,920
Committee an update on utility

3190
01:46:57,162 --> 01:46:57,863
undergrounding to actually wrap

3191
01:46:57,863 --> 01:47:01,463
our head around And it's hard

3192
01:47:01,734 --> 01:47:02,367
for me to go back to my

3193
01:47:02,367 --> 01:47:02,935
constituents and say we're

3194
01:47:02,935 --> 01:47:05,335
already in the queue.

3195
01:47:06,872 --> 01:47:07,639
We're not making any progress.

3196
01:47:07,639 --> 01:47:08,273
Why do you keep creating new

3197
01:47:08,273 --> 01:47:10,273
districts, diverting staff

3198
01:47:12,110 --> 01:47:12,678
time, taking precious dollars

3199
01:47:12,678 --> 01:47:13,412
away, creating new ones when

3200
01:47:13,412 --> 01:47:15,280
you can't get the old ones done

3201
01:47:15,280 --> 01:47:19,480
And I'm you know I'm not trying

3202
01:47:20,386 --> 01:47:21,153
to single you out on this And I

3203
01:47:21,153 --> 01:47:25,223
think both of you know where I

3204
01:47:25,223 --> 01:47:25,958
come from on this but I think

3205
01:47:25,958 --> 01:47:26,625
we need to think differently

3206
01:47:26,625 --> 01:47:27,493
ometer And I know we change

3207
01:47:27,493 --> 01:47:30,620
some of the priorities of which

3208
01:47:30,620 --> 01:47:30,595
districts get identified

3209
01:47:30,595 --> 01:47:32,595
through the through

3210
01:47:34,600 --> 01:47:35,301
the agreements with city Jane

3211
01:47:35,301 --> 01:47:36,168
and utility companies but I'm

3212
01:47:36,168 --> 01:47:39,572
going to register a no vote on

3213
01:47:39,572 --> 01:47:40,239
this just to kind of put an

3214
01:47:40,239 --> 01:47:43,239
exclamation point on this so

3215
01:47:44,243 --> 01:47:44,944
that we can come back and

3216
01:47:44,944 --> 01:47:45,678
figure out what we're going to

3217
01:47:45,678 --> 01:47:49,114
do and how we're actually going

3218
01:47:49,114 --> 01:47:49,748
to show that we can deliver for

3219
01:47:49,748 --> 01:47:50,449
all the dollars that we've

3220
01:47:50,449 --> 01:47:51,116
collected which actually still

3221
01:47:51,116 --> 01:47:54,116
very little when you really

3222
01:47:54,320 --> 01:47:55,120
total it all up.

3223
01:47:55,120 --> 01:47:55,788
But I know my constituents are

3224
01:47:55,788 --> 01:47:58,788
not going to be particularly

3225
01:47:59,258 --> 01:47:59,958
happy that we're identifying

3226
01:47:59,958 --> 01:48:00,493
brand new districts and it's

3227
01:48:00,493 --> 01:48:00,926
not the location of

3228
01:48:00,926 --> 01:48:01,594
the districts.

3229
01:48:01,594 --> 01:48:04,396
It's just let's get the ones

3230
01:48:04,396 --> 01:48:04,697
that are already on the books

3231
01:48:04,697 --> 01:48:06,697
done.

3232
01:48:09,301 --> 01:48:09,968
So with that we have a motion

3233
01:48:09,968 --> 01:48:10,669
by council member council

3234
01:48:10,669 --> 01:48:12,304

3235
01:48:12,304 --> 01:48:14,704
council member Yvonne Wolpert.

3236
01:48:18,711 --> 01:48:19,444
>> Please call the clerk or two

3237
01:48:19,444 --> 01:48:19,812

Oh you can change and that

3240
01:48:29,789 --> 01:48:30,456
passes 8 to 1 with Council

3241
01:48:30,456 --> 01:48:32,856
PRESIDENT LaCava voting no.

3242
01:48:34,793 --> 01:48:35,428

participant Star nine Doreen

3275
01:49:20,806 --> 01:49:21,730
I'd like to come up Yes, thank

3276
01:49:21,730 --> 01:49:21,773
you.

3277
01:49:21,773 --> 01:49:24,773
I would like to remind

3278
01:49:25,745 --> 01:49:26,379
everybody here that this

3279
01:49:26,379 --> 01:49:28,779
council, whether you were

3280
01:49:30,116 --> 01:49:31,170
PRESIDENT Or not, has had many

3281
01:49:31,170 --> 01:49:34,617
grand jury findings due to lack

3282
01:49:34,987 --> 01:49:37,987
of accountability, due to lack

3283
01:49:39,625 --> 01:49:40,359
of transparency and in fact

3284
01:49:40,359 --> 01:49:43,896
the one council policy that was

3285
01:49:43,896 --> 01:49:46,896
demanded to be created 000 dash

3286
01:49:48,670 --> 01:49:50,467
33 and 32 isn't even being

3287
01:49:52,672 --> 01:49:53,372
complied with because it says

3288
01:49:53,372 --> 01:49:56,876
every two years and the two

3289
01:49:56,876 --> 01:49:57,543
years expired DECEMBER 16th,

3290
01:49:57,543 --> 01:49:58,244
2024 there's supposed to be

3291
01:49:58,244 --> 01:50:00,644
community input which should

3292
01:50:02,281 --> 01:50:03,182
have started last JULY and and

3293
01:50:03,182 --> 01:50:06,782
it should have been done in

3294
01:50:07,420 --> 01:50:07,787
OCTOBER for a new vote in

3295
01:50:07,787 --> 01:50:08,588
DECEMBER.

3296
01:50:08,588 --> 01:50:12,188
So we need this council to

3297
01:50:12,490 --> 01:50:12,992
actually try to stop following

3298
01:50:12,992 --> 01:50:14,992
council policies.

3299
01:50:20,867 --> 01:50:21,634
I submitted a ten page memo on

3300
01:50:21,634 --> 01:50:25,234
a lot of inequities that are

3301
01:50:26,272 --> 01:50:28,672
occurring within District four.

3302
01:50:30,309 --> 01:50:30,609
We do we have homes built 1930

3303
01:50:30,609 --> 01:50:31,244
1940.

3304
01:50:31,244 --> 01:50:31,744
We have some of the oldest

3305
01:50:31,744 --> 01:50:34,144
homes in the city.

3306
01:50:36,415 --> 01:50:37,149
We have military barracks that

3307
01:50:37,149 --> 01:50:40,486
were turned into homes in image

3308
01:50:40,486 --> 01:50:41,187
are there is lack of

3309
01:50:41,187 --> 01:50:43,187
transportation and considering

3310
01:50:44,657 --> 01:50:45,224
here Mazar I a transit priority

3311
01:50:45,224 --> 01:50:47,624
area is blatant fraud.

3312
01:50:49,328 --> 01:50:50,290
We do not have bus rapid

3313
01:50:50,290 --> 01:50:50,730
transportation You would have

3314
01:50:50,730 --> 01:50:54,330
to do eminent domain on at

3315
01:50:54,534 --> 01:50:55,401
least a hundred homes before

3316
01:50:55,401 --> 01:50:58,704
you could ever get rapid which

3317
01:50:58,704 --> 01:50:59,372
defeats the purpose that

3318
01:50:59,372 --> 01:51:02,972
the purpose of sb nine once

3319
01:51:03,800 --> 01:51:03,709
again the homeowner act it was

3320
01:51:03,709 --> 01:51:04,377
not supposed to be for

3321
01:51:04,377 --> 01:51:06,777
investors and developers and

3322
01:51:08,181 --> 01:51:09,115
Mayor Tory is friends.

3323
01:51:09,115 --> 01:51:12,715
It was supposed to be for

3324
01:51:12,985 --> 01:51:13,619
homeowners and sb nine is

3325
01:51:13,619 --> 01:51:16,190
supported But this council

3326
01:51:17,557 --> 01:51:18,291
policy with mobility choice

3327
01:51:18,291 --> 01:51:20,691
sustainable development is not.

3328
01:51:21,995 --> 01:51:22,795
>> Thank you.

3329
01:51:22,795 --> 01:51:23,128
Thank you for that concluding

3330
01:51:23,128 --> 01:51:23,829
comment.

3331
01:51:23,829 --> 01:51:27,333
I thank you for your time for

3332
01:51:27,333 --> 01:51:28,670

to those participating online.

3335
01:51:30,969 --> 01:51:31,604
We currently have nine speakers

in the queue starting with

3337
01:51:35,541 --> 01:51:36,241

3338
01:51:36,241 --> 01:51:38,641

pot What's the problem?

3349
01:51:56,529 --> 01:51:57,196
And quote This presentation was

3350
01:51:57,196 --> 01:51:59,596
appropriate for teens their

3351
01:52:00,833 --> 01:52:01,534
parents, public health

3352
01:52:01,534 --> 01:52:03,934
educators and legislators that

3353
01:52:05,705 --> 01:52:06,372
care about the young people of

3354
01:52:06,372 --> 01:52:09,509
their city And you can also

3355
01:52:09,509 --> 01:52:10,176
watch it on YouTube, She begins

3356
01:52:10,176 --> 01:52:10,843
by explaining that as an

3357
01:52:10,843 --> 01:52:13,843
emergency room doctor in San

3358
01:52:14,747 --> 01:52:15,447
Diego she was gravely,

3359
01:52:15,447 --> 01:52:16,149
personally and professionally

3360
01:52:16,149 --> 01:52:19,149
dismayed that there are there

3361
01:52:20,219 --> 01:52:20,887
was a 690% increase in

3362
01:52:20,887 --> 01:52:23,287
emergency room visits where

3363
01:52:24,957 --> 01:52:27,357
the primary diagnosis was

3364
01:52:29,763 --> 01:52:30,630
associated with marijuana.

3365
01:52:30,630 --> 01:52:31,330
This equates to 37 cases a day

3366
01:52:31,330 --> 01:52:34,330
on average at the county's

3367
01:52:34,834 --> 01:52:35,401
hospital.

3368
01:52:35,401 --> 01:52:36,690
Imagine the costs of

3369
01:52:36,690 --> 01:52:38,469
the parents, their families,

3370
01:52:39,105 --> 01:52:39,739
employers to the medical staff

3371
01:52:39,739 --> 01:52:40,139
perhaps even to the police

3372
01:52:40,139 --> 01:52:42,139
department.

3373
01:52:43,408 --> 01:52:44,110
17% of all adult smoking pot

3374
01:52:44,110 --> 01:52:46,510
are clinically diagnosed with

3375
01:52:47,881 --> 01:52:49,881
cannabis syndrome disorder.

3376
01:52:51,918 --> 01:52:52,619
Among daily users it raises to

3377
01:52:52,619 --> 01:52:53,219
50% And DR. Love described

3378
01:52:53,219 --> 01:52:55,619
the misery of cannabis

3379
01:52:56,990 --> 01:52:58,990
withdrawal including sweating,

3380
01:53:01,727 --> 01:53:02,362
tremors, sleeplessness, severe

3381
01:53:02,362 --> 01:53:03,263
agitation and depression.

3382
01:53:03,263 --> 01:53:06,199
>> And why do I mention this

3383
01:53:06,199 --> 01:53:06,900
today the city council and

3384
01:53:06,900 --> 01:53:09,900
others are looking at what

3385
01:53:11,171 --> 01:53:11,604
causes the expenditures to our

3386
01:53:11,604 --> 01:53:13,604
city services.

3387
01:53:16,176 --> 01:53:16,843
Certainly marijuana and drug

3388
01:53:16,843 --> 01:53:17,310
use should be at the top of

3389
01:53:17,310 --> 01:53:19,310
everyone's list.

3390
01:53:21,214 --> 01:53:21,781
Thank you for hearing my

3391
01:53:21,781 --> 01:53:22,215

to bring to your attention a

3399
01:53:40,633 --> 01:53:41,301
statement released by the Drug

3400

Enforcement Administration.

3401

brought attention to

3404
01:53:49,676 --> 01:53:50,477
the damaging effects marijuana

3405
01:53:50,477 --> 01:53:51,177
is having on our young people.

3406
01:53:51,177 --> 01:53:53,577
Balch recognizes that updated

3407
01:53:54,381 --> 01:53:55,810
research has indicated that

3408
01:53:55,810 --> 01:53:55,749
the high potency thc marijuana

3409
01:53:55,749 --> 01:53:58,149

risks particularly with

3411
01:54:00,530 --> 01:54:00,553
the mental health of young

3412
01:54:00,553 --> 01:54:02,553
people increasing

3413
01:54:04,490 --> 01:54:04,991
the likelihood of volatile and

3414
01:54:04,991 --> 01:54:05,759
violent behaviors.

3415
01:54:05,759 --> 01:54:09,359
He stated I quote Obsessive pot

3416
01:54:09,528 --> 01:54:10,163
smoking is associated with

3417
01:54:10,163 --> 01:54:10,864
school shootings and that

3418
01:54:10,864 --> 01:54:13,864
politics have been placed over

3419
01:54:14,500 --> 01:54:15,235
public safety.

3420
01:54:15,235 --> 01:54:18,835
The dea stated that the average

01:54:19,506 --> 01:54:20,240
percentage of thc which is

3422
01:54:20,240 --> 01:54:20,874
the psychoactive cannabinoid in

3423
01:54:20,874 --> 01:54:23,274
marijuana known for giving

3424
01:54:23,843 --> 01:54:24,511
users a quote high feeling has

3425
01:54:24,511 --> 01:54:26,911
been steadily increasing and

3426
01:54:28,415 --> 01:54:29,150
reached an all time high

3427
01:54:29,150 --> 01:54:29,716
significantly increasing

3428
01:54:29,716 --> 01:54:30,283
the mental health problems of

3429
01:54:30,283 --> 01:54:32,283
millions of Americans.

3430
01:54:33,887 --> 01:54:34,621
The dea is concerned that their

3431
01:54:34,621 --> 01:54:35,255
updated research is not getting

3432
01:54:35,255 --> 01:54:37,655
the attention it deserves.

3433
01:54:39,125 --> 01:54:39,860
I would suggest that the city

3434
01:54:39,860 --> 01:54:40,526
request a detailed presentation

3435
01:54:40,526 --> 01:54:43,526
from the county's health and

3436
01:54:43,897 --> 01:54:44,597
Human Services Agency providing

3437
01:54:44,597 --> 01:54:46,997
a detailed scientific analysis

3438
01:54:47,868 --> 01:54:48,468
of the health risks surrounding

3439
01:54:48,468 --> 01:54:48,935
high potency thc that is

3440
01:54:48,935 --> 01:54:50,935
available today.

3441
01:54:52,873 --> 01:54:53,573
This information should be

3442
01:54:53,573 --> 01:54:54,174
publicly acknowledged as it's

3443
01:54:54,174 --> 01:54:54,508
time to put people over

3444
01:54:54,508 --> 01:54:56,508
profits.

3445
01:54:58,512 --> 01:55:02,112
Following the lead of the dea

3446
01:55:03,316 --> 01:55:03,717
and director Mouth thank you.

3447
01:55:03,717 --> 01:55:04,751
Thank you.

3448
01:55:04,751 --> 01:55:08,351
Next is 7968 If you can please

3449
01:55:08,355 --> 01:55:10,755
unmute and thank you.

3450
01:55:13,325 --> 01:55:13,827
>> Third point page tracing out

3451
01:55:13,827 --> 01:55:15,827
of district three.

3452
01:55:17,300 --> 01:55:17,530
I can't get my mind and my

3453
01:55:17,530 --> 01:55:19,930
heart off of that.

3454
01:55:21,968 --> 01:55:22,436
The most increase in crime was

3455
01:55:22,436 --> 01:55:24,436
in hate crimes.

3456
01:55:26,873 --> 01:55:27,574
So I spent some time one

3457
01:55:27,574 --> 01:55:31,174
evening googling it and I want

3458
01:55:32,178 --> 01:55:33,146
to share this with you.

3459
01:55:33,146 --> 01:55:36,746
Mostly that is quote What are

3460
01:55:37,117 --> 01:55:40,117
the root cause of hate?

3461
01:55:41,822 --> 01:55:42,322
Hate is based in issues of

3462
01:55:42,322 --> 01:55:44,322
power and control.

3463
01:55:46,926 --> 01:55:47,628
Hate comes from the idea that

3464
01:55:47,628 --> 01:55:50,628
certain people can and should

3465
01:55:51,198 --> 01:55:51,530
have power and control over

3466
01:55:51,530 --> 01:55:53,530
others.

3467
01:55:55,936 --> 01:55:56,603
These ideas come from our

3468
01:55:56,603 --> 01:55:59,300
history with certain people

3469
01:56:01,740 --> 01:56:01,642
took power over others.

3470
01:56:01,642 --> 01:56:04,420
This is my example.

3471
01:56:05,879 --> 01:56:06,747
Native Americans who wanted

3472
01:56:06,747 --> 01:56:09,747
their land, their resources and

3473
01:56:15,689 --> 01:56:16,390
so forth also included on

3474
01:56:16,390 --> 01:56:19,390
Google was their top five

3475
01:56:20,327 --> 01:56:20,661
states in regards to hate

3476
01:56:20,661 --> 01:56:21,295
crimes.

3477
01:56:21,295 --> 01:56:24,295
>> Guess who's at the top?

3478
01:56:25,298 --> 01:56:25,866
California.

3479
01:56:25,866 --> 01:56:27,866
1970 and 2023.

3480
01:56:29,903 --> 01:56:30,503
New Jersey is second.

3481
01:56:30,503 --> 01:56:31,710
New York is third.

3482
01:56:31,710 --> 01:56:33,710
Washington is fourth.

3483
01:56:34,708 --> 01:56:37,108
And Massachusetts is five.

3484
01:56:39,379 --> 01:56:40,147
So here are my final comments

3485
01:56:40,147 --> 01:56:40,914
on this And I'm continuing to

3486
01:56:40,914 --> 01:56:44,852
do my own personal work on this

3487
01:56:44,852 --> 01:56:49,489
And what can I do Shed our very

3488
01:56:49,489 --> 01:56:50,224
old outdated skin.

3489
01:56:50,224 --> 01:56:53,824
Like the year of the snake.

3490
01:56:54,495 --> 01:56:55,195
Let's join together and do much

3491
01:56:55,195 --> 01:56:58,195
more and remember these words

3492
01:56:59,700 --> 01:57:00,400
which I have said time and time

3493
01:57:00,400 --> 01:57:00,734
again through the years to all

3494
01:57:00,734 --> 01:57:01,301
of you.

3495
01:57:01,301 --> 01:57:03,701
We are all biased.

3496
01:57:04,671 --> 01:57:07,710
We are all flawed.

3497
01:57:09,576 --> 01:57:09,977
We are all wounded and we all

3498
01:57:09,977 --> 01:57:10,644
bleed red.

3499
01:57:10,644 --> 01:57:11,100
Thank you so much for

3500
01:57:11,100 --> 01:57:13,100
listening.

3501
01:57:14,448 --> 01:57:14,815
Let's join together and do my

3502
01:57:14,815 --> 01:57:15,482
apologies.

>> Your time has concluded.

unmute.

3506
01:57:19,787 --> 01:57:20,421

the queue and no additional

3510
01:57:27,194 --> 01:57:27,964
speakers will be taken.

3511

3512
01:57:28,662 --> 01:57:28,996

3514
01:57:32,766 --> 01:57:36,704
I too am No one Footnote seven.

3515
01:57:36,704 --> 01:57:37,404
Counsel Thank you Council

3516
01:57:37,404 --> 01:57:39,804
Member PRESIDENT LaCava for

3517
01:57:42,109 --> 01:57:42,576
being a ceremonial no vote on

3518
01:57:42,576 --> 01:57:44,576
this surcharge.

3519
01:57:47,214 --> 01:57:47,581
You know we are calling it a

3520
01:57:47,581 --> 01:57:48,782
surcharge.

3521
01:57:48,782 --> 01:57:52,382
And as he said everybody is

3522
01:57:53,754 --> 01:57:55,754
paying it.

3523
01:57:58,759 --> 01:58:02,359
But that's just a scheme around

3524
01:58:03,864 --> 01:58:04,632
the Constitution and it is

3525
01:58:04,632 --> 01:58:07,632
something that the city council

3526
01:58:08,703 --> 01:58:11,703
led by COUNCILMAN Sean Eli

3527
01:58:13,340 --> 01:58:13,806
Rivera impose on

3528
01:58:13,806 --> 01:58:15,806
the population.

3529
01:58:18,780 --> 01:58:18,646
So they're going to surcharge

3530
01:58:18,646 --> 01:58:21,460
It's being charged as

3531
01:58:22,850 --> 01:58:23,517
COUNCILMAN LaCava said to

3532
01:58:23,517 --> 01:58:26,517
everybody but the benefit is

3533
01:58:28,155 --> 01:58:28,555
going to be selective really

3534
01:58:28,555 --> 01:58:30,555
distributed.

3535
01:58:32,993 --> 01:58:33,860
COUNCILMAN Shani Le Rivera is

3536
01:58:33,860 --> 01:58:38,600
going to put the benefit as a

3537
01:58:38,990 --> 01:58:40,499
priority in the richest

3538
01:58:42,269 --> 01:58:43,700
neighborhood in his district.

3539
01:58:43,700 --> 01:58:43,404
Now a poor neighborhood in City

3540
01:58:43,404 --> 01:58:45,404
Heights.

3541
01:58:47,541 --> 01:58:48,800
My neighborhood isn't included

3542
01:58:48,800 --> 01:58:50,800
or prioritized.

3543
01:58:52,546 --> 01:58:56,146
I guess you know, when you

3544
01:58:57,450 --> 01:58:58,219
become a elected official and

3545
01:58:58,219 --> 01:59:01,219
no longer are campaigning for

3546
01:59:02,756 --> 01:59:06,356
the people, you start to give

3547
01:59:09,263 --> 01:59:12,263
the rich the greatest benefit.

3548
01:59:13,967 --> 01:59:14,702
Please stop trying to solve

3549
01:59:14,702 --> 01:59:17,702
your budget problems by putting

3550
01:59:19,373 --> 01:59:19,840
more taxes, more fees onto

3551
01:59:19,840 --> 01:59:21,840
the population.

3552
01:59:24,311 --> 01:59:24,612
Start eliminating taxes and

3553
01:59:24,612 --> 01:59:25,379
fees.

3554
01:59:25,379 --> 01:59:25,780
Make That's how you make it

3555
01:59:25,780 --> 01:59:27,780
affordable.

3556
01:59:28,716 --> 01:59:29,183
Thank you very much.

3557
01:59:29,183 --> 01:59:30,217
>> Thank you.

3558
01:59:30,217 --> 01:59:33,554
Next is Devin If you can please

3559

unmute.

3560
01:59:33,854 --> 01:59:34,488
Hi.

3561
01:59:34,488 --> 01:59:37,488
Thank you for allowing me

3562
01:59:38,192 --> 01:59:38,526
the opportunity to speak today

3563
01:59:38,526 --> 01:59:39,293
.

3564
01:59:39,293 --> 01:59:39,927
I come before you with concerns

3565
01:59:39,927 --> 01:59:40,461
about the rapidly growing

3566
01:59:40,461 --> 01:59:42,461
cannabis market and

3567
01:59:43,698 --> 01:59:44,398
the increasing normalization of

3568
01:59:44,398 --> 01:59:45,990
vaping products both of which

3569
01:59:45,990 --> 01:59:48,990
are having harmful effects on

3570
01:59:48,568 --> 01:59:48,869
our community particularly our

3571
01:59:48,869 --> 01:59:49,537
youth.

3572
01:59:49,537 --> 01:59:52,537
Recent data shows that more

3573
01:59:53,441 --> 01:59:54,108
than half of cannabis sales

3574
01:59:54,108 --> 01:59:54,475
come from just 20% of

3575
01:59:54,475 --> 01:59:56,475
customers.

3576
01:59:58,279 --> 01:59:59,146
We're also seeing an alarming

3577
01:59:59,146 --> 01:59:59,580
rise in the use of vapes and

3578
01:59:59,580 --> 02:00:01,580
concentrates.

3579
02:00:02,583 --> 02:00:03,150
In fact vapes now account for

3580
02:00:03,150 --> 02:00:05,150
25% of cannabis sales

3581
02:00:07,355 --> 02:00:07,989
nationwide and last year for

3582
02:00:07,989 --> 02:00:08,655
the first time vape sales

3583
02:00:08,655 --> 02:00:11,550
surpassed flower sales among

3584
02:00:12,493 --> 02:00:13,126
Gen-z.

3585
02:00:13,126 --> 02:00:15,526
This is deeply concerning

3586
02:00:16,664 --> 02:00:17,398
vaping especially among young

3587
02:00:17,398 --> 02:00:17,698
people poses significant health

3588
02:00:17,698 --> 02:00:18,299
risks.

3589
02:00:18,299 --> 02:00:21,299
The long term effects of

3590
02:00:21,736 --> 02:00:22,403
inhaling concentrated cannabis

3591
02:00:22,403 --> 02:00:25,403
oils and other chemicals are

3592
02:00:26,674 --> 02:00:27,308
still largely unknown but early

3593
02:00:27,308 --> 02:00:27,975
research shows they could

3594
02:00:27,975 --> 02:00:30,375
include lung damage, mental

3595
02:00:30,912 --> 02:00:31,512
health issues and a higher

3596
02:00:31,512 --> 02:00:32,179
likelihood of addiction.

3597
02:00:32,179 --> 02:00:35,179
These products are not only

3598
02:00:36,116 --> 02:00:36,817
more potent but also more

3599
02:00:36,817 --> 02:00:37,585
discreet making it easier for

3600
02:00:37,585 --> 02:00:40,721
minors to access and use them

3601
02:00:40,721 --> 02:00:41,489
without detection.

3602
02:00:41,489 --> 02:00:42,189
We know that the developing

3603
02:00:42,189 --> 02:00:44,589
brains of teenagers are

3604
02:00:46,600 --> 02:00:46,727
particularly vulnerable to

3605
02:00:46,727 --> 02:00:47,461
the addictive properties of

3606
02:00:47,461 --> 02:00:50,461
cannabis and nicotine And these

3607
02:00:50,965 --> 02:00:51,632
products especially in high

3608
02:00:51,632 --> 02:00:52,300
concentrations pose serious

3609
02:00:52,300 --> 02:00:55,300
risks to their future health

3610
02:00:55,937 --> 02:00:56,704
and well-being.

3611
02:00:56,704 --> 02:00:59,740
I urge this Council to consider

3612
02:00:59,740 --> 02:01:00,307
the long term implications of

3613
02:01:00,307 --> 02:01:00,942
this growing industry.

3614
02:01:00,942 --> 02:01:03,342
We must prioritize public

3615
02:01:04,879 --> 02:01:05,579
health and protect our youth by

3616
02:01:05,579 --> 02:01:06,314
enacting stricter regulations

3617
02:01:06,314 --> 02:01:09,314
on cannabis products and vaping

3618
02:01:10,218 --> 02:01:10,885
including limitations on high

3619
02:01:10,885 --> 02:01:13,285
potency offerings and better

3620
02:01:15,223 --> 02:01:15,556
enforcement of age restrictions

3621
02:01:15,556 --> 02:01:16,324
.

3622
02:01:16,324 --> 02:01:16,758
Thank you for your time and

3623
02:01:16,758 --> 02:01:17,125
consideration.

3624
02:01:17,125 --> 02:01:17,759
Thank you.

3625
02:01:17,759 --> 02:01:20,159
Next suspect Peggy Walker.

3626
02:01:22,363 --> 02:01:22,964
If you can please unmute.

3627
02:01:22,964 --> 02:01:24,964
>> Good morning.

3628
02:01:27,167 --> 02:01:27,468
That's a youth health advocate

3629
02:01:27,468 --> 02:01:28,269
.

3630
02:01:28,269 --> 02:01:31,869
I came today to draw attention

3631
02:01:31,939 --> 02:01:32,640
to statements meant to diminish

3632
02:01:32,640 --> 02:01:34,975
the known harms of marijuana.

3633
02:01:34,975 --> 02:01:35,676
Comments to this Council

3634
02:01:35,676 --> 02:01:36,310
regarding the 2024 monitoring

3635
02:01:36,310 --> 02:01:38,710
The Futures survey suggest

3636
02:01:41,482 --> 02:01:41,983
marijuana use by high schoolers

3637
02:01:41,983 --> 02:01:43,983
has not increased.

3638
02:01:45,519 --> 02:01:46,154
The real story, however, is

3639
02:01:46,154 --> 02:01:46,820
that the surveys show that

3640
02:01:46,820 --> 02:01:49,220
youth rates are substantial

3641
02:01:49,657 --> 02:01:50,259
like nearly 30% of 12th graders

3642
02:01:50,259 --> 02:01:52,659
reporting past year use.

3643
02:01:54,595 --> 02:01:55,363
The survey also showed 43% of

3644
02:01:55,363 --> 02:01:57,763
those age 19 to 30 reporting

3645
02:01:59,700 --> 02:02:00,268
cannabis use a 40 year record

3646
02:02:00,268 --> 02:02:02,668
high for young adults.

3647
02:02:04,605 --> 02:02:05,173
Speaking to this, DR. Jesse

3648
02:02:05,173 --> 02:02:05,772
Brinkley, professor of

3649
02:02:05,772 --> 02:02:07,772
psychiatry and addiction

3650
02:02:09,510 --> 02:02:10,211
specialist at University of

3651
02:02:10,211 --> 02:02:13,211
Colorado stated in the journal

3652
02:02:14,715 --> 02:02:15,249
Psychiatry News that this is a

3653
02:02:15,249 --> 02:02:17,249
population at risk.

3654
02:02:18,886 --> 02:02:19,587
At age 18 our brains do not

3655
02:02:19,587 --> 02:02:22,587
magically flip a switch and

3656
02:02:23,625 --> 02:02:24,325
finish developing the extent of

3657
02:02:24,325 --> 02:02:26,325
expanded legalization cannabis

3658
02:02:29,630 --> 02:02:29,397
product offering and increased

3659
02:02:29,397 --> 02:02:29,964
potency.

3660
02:02:29,964 --> 02:02:31,964
Hinckley warned those

3661
02:02:33,634 --> 02:02:34,368
unprecedented exposure to young

3662
02:02:34,368 --> 02:02:37,368
people during a critical period

3663
02:02:38,473 --> 02:02:39,107
of brain development.

3664
02:02:39,107 --> 02:02:41,507
Studies by Hinckley found

3665
02:02:43,678 --> 02:02:44,379
mounting evidence marijuana is

3666
02:02:44,379 --> 02:02:44,779
fueling depression and suicide

3667
02:02:44,779 --> 02:02:46,779
among youth.

3668
02:02:48,516 --> 02:02:49,317
He found out lessened marijuana

3669
02:02:49,317 --> 02:02:49,918
users nearly two and a half

3670
02:02:49,918 --> 02:02:52,918
times more likely to be

3671
02:02:52,921 --> 02:02:53,721
addicted to it And a half times

3672
02:02:53,721 --> 02:02:56,859
more likely to have a major

3673
02:02:56,859 --> 02:02:57,525
depressive episode and four

3674
02:02:57,525 --> 02:02:57,858
times more likely to attempt

3675
02:02:57,858 --> 02:02:59,858
suicide.

3676
02:03:01,796 --> 02:03:02,430
And so I suggest data showing

3677
02:03:02,430 --> 02:03:04,830
30% of high school seniors

3678
02:03:06,835 --> 02:03:07,468
using cannabis is very serious

3679
02:03:07,468 --> 02:03:08,102
feeling substantial health

3680
02:03:08,102 --> 02:03:08,403
problems and mental health

3681
02:03:08,403 --> 02:03:10,403
risks.

3682
02:03:12,640 --> 02:03:13,410
Thank you for your time.

3683
02:03:13,410 --> 02:03:15,410
Thank you.

3684
02:03:16,544 --> 02:03:16,845
Megan if you can please unmute

3685
02:03:16,845 --> 02:03:17,312
.

3686
02:03:17,312 --> 02:03:18,120
>> Thank you.

3687
02:03:18,120 --> 02:03:18,780
Good morning Council members.

3688
02:03:18,780 --> 02:03:21,149
Thank you for the opportunity

3689
02:03:21,149 --> 02:03:21,916
to speak today.

3690
02:03:21,916 --> 02:03:22,717
My name is Megan Stewart and

3691
02:03:22,717 --> 02:03:26,200
I'm here to address a critical

3692
02:03:26,200 --> 02:03:26,721
issue regarding public health

3693
02:03:26,721 --> 02:03:27,355
and the opportunity we have to

3694
02:03:27,355 --> 02:03:29,355
make proactive decisions.

3695
02:03:31,559 --> 02:03:32,260
A recent article drafted by a

3696
02:03:32,260 --> 02:03:32,860
physician and a public health

3697
02:03:32,860 --> 02:03:34,860
professional highlighted

3698
02:03:36,300 --> 02:03:36,698
the well documented link

3699
02:03:36,698 --> 02:03:37,399
between alcohol and cancer.

3700
02:03:37,399 --> 02:03:40,399
Identifying it as a leading

3701
02:03:41,102 --> 02:03:41,770
preventable cause of seven

3702
02:03:41,770 --> 02:03:44,170
types of cancer including,

3703
02:03:45,106 --> 02:03:45,773
colon and liver cancers.

3704
02:03:45,773 --> 02:03:46,374
Yet public awareness of this

3705
02:03:46,374 --> 02:03:48,774
fact is alarmingly low.

3706
02:03:50,411 --> 02:03:51,790
Only 45% of Americans know

3707
02:03:51,790 --> 02:03:54,790
the simple fact that alcohol

3708
02:03:55,500 --> 02:03:55,784
increases cancer risk.

3709
02:03:55,784 --> 02:03:58,784
The alcohol industry has long

3710
02:03:58,853 --> 02:03:59,486
normalized its presence in our

3711
02:03:59,486 --> 02:04:00,540
culture from professional

3712
02:04:00,540 --> 02:04:02,540
events to fundraisers.

3713
02:04:04,125 --> 02:04:04,893
Even those focused on health.

3714
02:04:04,893 --> 02:04:05,360
It's been so effective that we

3715
02:04:05,360 --> 02:04:06,610
rarely question

3716
02:04:06,610 --> 02:04:08,461
the consequences of promoting

3717
02:04:09,330 --> 02:04:09,998
and consuming this toxin.

3718
02:04:09,998 --> 02:04:10,799
And now we are paying

3719
02:04:10,799 --> 02:04:13,635
the consequence as it causes

3720
02:04:13,635 --> 02:04:14,336
nearly 100,000 cancer cases and

3721
02:04:14,336 --> 02:04:16,336
20,000 deaths annually in

3722
02:04:19,341 --> 02:04:20,108
the U.S..

3723
02:04:20,108 --> 02:04:20,842
We are at the early stages of

3724
02:04:20,842 --> 02:04:23,242
the marijuana industry's growth

3725
02:04:23,545 --> 02:04:24,246
and it is a sure to follow

3726
02:04:24,246 --> 02:04:24,746
the same path as alcohol if we

3727
02:04:24,746 --> 02:04:27,146
do not act now.

3728
02:04:28,516 --> 02:04:29,184
The marijuana industry like big

3729
02:04:29,184 --> 02:04:29,884
alcohol has immense lobbying

3730
02:04:29,884 --> 02:04:33,388
power and the ability to shape

3731
02:04:33,388 --> 02:04:34,122
public perception often

3732
02:04:34,122 --> 02:04:37,122
downplaying risks to health and

3733
02:04:37,459 --> 02:04:38,226
safety for the sake of profit.

3734
02:04:38,226 --> 02:04:38,927
We can already see the signs as

3735
02:04:38,927 --> 02:04:41,927
marijuana is being marketed as

3736
02:04:42,330 --> 02:04:42,831
harmless or even health

3737
02:04:42,831 --> 02:04:43,465
positive product.

3738
02:04:43,465 --> 02:04:46,465
Just as alcohol once was.

3739
02:04:47,636 --> 02:04:48,336
It's important to recognize

3740
02:04:48,336 --> 02:04:48,904
that we don't have to wait

3741
02:04:48,904 --> 02:04:49,404
decades to acknowledge

3742
02:04:49,404 --> 02:04:49,871
the consequences.

3743
02:04:49,871 --> 02:04:51,871
This Council has

3744
02:04:52,806 --> 02:04:53,541
the opportunity to enact

3745
02:04:53,541 --> 02:04:54,276
policies that prioritize public

3746
02:04:54,276 --> 02:04:56,676
health by limiting advertising,

3747
02:04:57,579 --> 02:04:58,146
regulating access and promoting

3748
02:04:58,146 --> 02:04:58,814
public education about

3749
02:04:58,814 --> 02:05:01,814
the risks of marijuana use.

3750
02:05:03,485 --> 02:05:03,952
Thanks so much.

3751
02:05:03,952 --> 02:05:04,886
>> Thank you.

3752
02:05:04,886 --> 02:05:08,323
Blair Beckman If you can please

3753
02:05:08,323 --> 02:05:08,990
unmute then I'll be Lori

3754
02:05:08,990 --> 02:05:11,860
Saldana and Judy Strang and

3755
02:05:11,860 --> 02:05:12,327
they'll be up.

3756
02:05:12,327 --> 02:05:12,727
>> All right.

3757
02:05:12,727 --> 02:05:13,195
Thank you.

3758
02:05:13,195 --> 02:05:15,195
We're big fans.

3759
02:05:17,899 --> 02:05:18,532
Thank Philharmonie Many thanks

3760
02:05:18,532 --> 02:05:18,834
to the words of MR. Stump

3761
02:05:18,834 --> 02:05:20,834
again.

3762
02:05:22,404 --> 02:05:25,907
Yeah, I spoke yesterday on I

3763
02:05:25,907 --> 02:05:26,475
think property owners they have

3764
02:05:26,475 --> 02:05:27,109
kind of a certain

3765
02:05:27,109 --> 02:05:27,776
responsibility to help and

3766
02:05:27,776 --> 02:05:31,376
the picture of you know, our

3767
02:05:31,580 --> 02:05:34,580
revenue issues in San Diego.

3768
02:05:35,784 --> 02:05:36,685
I think they if you live in a

3769
02:05:36,685 --> 02:05:37,520
house you have a lot of money

3770
02:05:37,520 --> 02:05:39,520
basically.

3771
02:05:41,123 --> 02:05:41,823
But it is with that that you

3772
02:05:41,823 --> 02:05:44,459
know continual tax burdens on

3773
02:05:44,459 --> 02:05:45,260
them is difficult because look

3774
02:05:45,260 --> 02:05:46,280
how to address that I think

3775
02:05:46,280 --> 02:05:49,628
there can be small increases in

3776
02:05:50,565 --> 02:05:54,165
property tax to be of help.

3777
02:05:55,370 --> 02:05:56,170
But these things that up and

3778
02:05:56,170 --> 02:05:56,939
the underground wiring add to

3779
02:05:56,939 --> 02:05:59,975
that thank you MR. Stamps work

3780
02:05:59,975 --> 02:06:00,642
to really work on equitable

3781
02:06:00,642 --> 02:06:03,420
distribution That's a really

3782
02:06:05,480 --> 02:06:06,181
important concept and what to

3783
02:06:06,181 --> 02:06:06,949
do with tax money on projects

3784
02:06:06,949 --> 02:06:10,549
there's lots and working on San

3785
02:06:11,190 --> 02:06:11,720
Diego and possibly working on

3786
02:06:11,720 --> 02:06:14,189
sidewalk at the stay the same

3787
02:06:14,189 --> 02:06:14,756
way sidewalk you work at

3788
02:06:14,756 --> 02:06:17,756
the same I don't know

3789
02:06:19,494 --> 02:06:20,195
forgiveness pattern that we

3790
02:06:20,195 --> 02:06:20,862
built just an expectation that

3791
02:06:20,862 --> 02:06:24,462
they pay for the majority of

3792
02:06:26,702 --> 02:06:27,469
sidewalk they have working

3793
02:06:27,469 --> 02:06:28,537
those efforts But that said I'm

3794
02:06:28,537 --> 02:06:32,137
still working on my tech issues

3795
02:06:33,750 --> 02:06:33,942
the lot you know the future of

3796
02:06:33,942 --> 02:06:37,542
a called a quick check basement

3797
02:06:38,580 --> 02:06:39,181
and removal of tech There's a

3798
02:06:39,181 --> 02:06:41,581
district going on with

3799
02:06:43,151 --> 02:06:43,585
the Hillcrest lgbt q Festival

3800
02:06:43,585 --> 02:06:45,585
of JULY 2024.

3801
02:06:48,257 --> 02:06:48,924
It's gone to court over

3802
02:06:48,924 --> 02:06:49,424
the future of tech placement

3803
02:06:49,424 --> 02:06:51,424
issues and exigent

3804
02:06:52,927 --> 02:06:53,629
circumstances Quick tech

3805
02:06:53,629 --> 02:06:54,229
placement and removal program

3806
02:06:54,229 --> 02:06:56,629
can really help address

3807
02:06:57,165 --> 02:06:57,833
the issue If you're not already

3808
02:06:57,833 --> 02:07:01,433
addressing them It can be a

3809
02:07:02,271 --> 02:07:02,804
really good guy that they're

3810
02:07:02,804 --> 02:07:03,505
learning themselves.

3811
02:07:03,505 --> 02:07:04,172
The name comes down in better

3812
02:07:04,172 --> 02:07:06,572
practices and better exigent

3813
02:07:07,910 --> 02:07:08,610
circumstance.

3814
02:07:08,610 --> 02:07:09,278
The process could work to how

3815
02:07:09,278 --> 02:07:12,278
This can be an open

3816
02:07:13,247 --> 02:07:13,949
conversation coming up in in so

3817
02:07:13,949 --> 02:07:15,751
if you're not already doing it

3818
02:07:15,751 --> 02:07:16,618
thank you thank you Laurie

3819
02:07:16,618 --> 02:07:19,618

Yes Can you hear me?

3822
02:07:21,457 --> 02:07:21,924
Yes.

3823
02:07:21,924 --> 02:07:23,924
Please proceed.

3824
02:07:25,427 --> 02:07:25,994
Thank you so a reminder that

3825
02:07:25,994 --> 02:07:26,595
the statement made by

3826
02:07:26,595 --> 02:07:27,229
the council PRESIDENT At

3827
02:07:27,229 --> 02:07:30,229
the start of every public

3828
02:07:30,499 --> 02:07:31,233
comment session is the result

3829
02:07:31,233 --> 02:07:34,536
of lawsuits filed on behalf of

3830
02:07:34,536 --> 02:07:35,270
San Diegans who have their

3831
02:07:35,270 --> 02:07:38,870
right to speak and address this

3832
02:07:39,208 --> 02:07:39,942
Council violated on multiple

3833
02:07:39,942 --> 02:07:40,675
occasions over the last several

3834
02:07:40,675 --> 02:07:41,276
years both a Bill of Rights and

3835
02:07:41,276 --> 02:07:43,676
the state's Brown Act

3836
02:07:44,680 --> 02:07:45,314
guarantees that the public has

3837
02:07:45,314 --> 02:07:46,148
a right to address elected

3838
02:07:46,148 --> 02:07:49,748
officials both for a redress of

3839
02:07:49,818 --> 02:07:50,185
grievances and also to voice

3840
02:07:50,185 --> 02:07:50,886
agreement.

3841
02:07:50,886 --> 02:07:54,323
And the council and Mayor have

3842
02:07:54,323 --> 02:07:55,900
done a great job of recruiting

3843
02:07:55,900 --> 02:07:55,791
people who agree with them to

3844
02:07:55,791 --> 02:07:58,191
attend council meetings, wave

3845
02:07:59,763 --> 02:08:00,463
signs and speak in support of

3846
02:08:00,463 --> 02:08:03,463
things like mega shelters and

3847
02:08:04,400 --> 02:08:05,670
raising regressive fees that

3848
02:08:05,670 --> 02:08:05,533
disproportionately harm low

3849
02:08:05,533 --> 02:08:07,533
income families.

3850
02:08:08,804 --> 02:08:09,271
So that is their right, that is

3851
02:08:09,271 --> 02:08:09,805
their strategy.

3852
02:08:09,805 --> 02:08:10,472
We understand that.

3853
02:08:10,472 --> 02:08:12,872
But what's disappointing is

3854
02:08:14,176 --> 02:08:14,877
that after some of us do voice

3855
02:08:14,877 --> 02:08:17,277
our disagreements whether it's

3856
02:08:18,647 --> 02:08:19,348
development projects or poor or

3857
02:08:19,348 --> 02:08:22,348
other issues that the council

3858
02:08:22,551 --> 02:08:23,218
members then show a level of

3859
02:08:23,218 --> 02:08:24,190
contempt and disrespect that

3860
02:08:24,190 --> 02:08:27,523
has been showing up in recent

3861
02:08:27,523 --> 02:08:28,390
weeks.

3862
02:08:28,390 --> 02:08:29,158
There is a culture of contempt

3863
02:08:29,158 --> 02:08:32,158
that is emerging in this

3864
02:08:33,620 --> 02:08:36,632
country And I want to say that

3865
02:08:36,632 --> 02:08:37,332
as one person who has served in

3866
02:08:37,332 --> 02:08:37,967
elected office who has been

3867
02:08:37,967 --> 02:08:40,967
threatened and had to have

3868
02:08:41,503 --> 02:08:42,237
armed escort support time

3869
02:08:42,237 --> 02:08:42,838
because of people who disagreed

3870
02:08:42,838 --> 02:08:45,238
with legislation that I

3871
02:08:46,675 --> 02:08:47,376
introduced, I understand

3872
02:08:47,376 --> 02:08:48,760
the tendency to be protective

3873
02:08:48,760 --> 02:08:51,676
But what I don't understand is

3874
02:08:52,140 --> 02:08:52,681
why people would resort to name

3875
02:08:52,681 --> 02:08:55,810
calling and insults against

3876
02:08:57,520 --> 02:08:57,753
people who are doing their best

3877
02:08:57,753 --> 02:09:00,153
to participate as volunteers,

3878
02:09:02,258 --> 02:09:03,125
as people who are not paid as

3879
02:09:03,125 --> 02:09:06,725
generously as you all are to

3880
02:09:07,630 --> 02:09:07,863
attend these council meetings.

3881
02:09:07,863 --> 02:09:11,000
So please keep that in mind as

3882
02:09:11,000 --> 02:09:11,700
we go through this year and do

3883
02:09:11,700 --> 02:09:12,401
your best to avoid descending

3884
02:09:12,401 --> 02:09:15,401
into this culture of contempt

3885
02:09:16,338 --> 02:09:16,972
and disrespect that we see

3886
02:09:16,972 --> 02:09:19,972
emerging in too many other

3887
02:09:21,900 --> 02:09:21,777
places around the country.

3888
02:09:21,777 --> 02:09:22,211
Thank you, Judy Strain your

3889
02:09:22,211 --> 02:09:24,211
final speaker.

3890
02:09:24,980 --> 02:09:25,748
Please unmute.

3891
02:09:25,748 --> 02:09:28,148
>> Good afternoon San Diego

3892
02:09:30,186 --> 02:09:31,530
City Council Judy Strang here I

3893
02:09:31,530 --> 02:09:35,240
came to report on the Board of

3894
02:09:35,240 --> 02:09:35,691
Supervisors meeting this

3895
02:09:35,691 --> 02:09:37,691
morning particularly consent

3896
02:09:39,327 --> 02:09:42,327
item number one the added

3897
02:09:44,400 --> 02:09:45,367
funding for the age group 18 to

3898
02:09:45,367 --> 02:09:48,967
25 that are in foster care to

3899
02:09:49,638 --> 02:09:50,306
assist them for at least three

3900
02:09:50,306 --> 02:09:50,639
more years with transitional

3901
02:09:50,639 --> 02:09:51,373
housing.

3902
02:09:51,373 --> 02:09:54,477
This is an age group that means

3903
02:09:54,477 --> 02:09:55,378
a great deal to me as the bulk

3904
02:09:55,378 --> 02:09:58,681
of my grandchildren are in that

3905
02:09:58,681 --> 02:09:59,148
age range and I have watched

3906
02:09:59,148 --> 02:10:01,148
that transition.

3907
02:10:03,520 --> 02:10:03,919
I think it's out of childhood

3908
02:10:03,919 --> 02:10:07,323
if you would And I think it's

3909
02:10:07,323 --> 02:10:08,230
important to remember that

3910
02:10:08,230 --> 02:10:08,724
depending on the year 50% of

3911
02:10:08,724 --> 02:10:09,191
our eight year olds are still

3912
02:10:09,191 --> 02:10:11,191
in high school.

3913
02:10:12,594 --> 02:10:13,262
So it is an age group about

3914
02:10:13,262 --> 02:10:16,262
which we have grave concern.

3915
02:10:17,433 --> 02:10:18,200
So I much appreciate the news

3916
02:10:18,200 --> 02:10:18,901
that the city of San Diego is

3917
02:10:18,901 --> 02:10:21,301
launching their new initiative

3918
02:10:22,671 --> 02:10:23,539
a Child and teen friendly city

3919
02:10:23,539 --> 02:10:27,739
not a moment too soon And I

3920
02:10:27,977 --> 02:10:28,678
hope that as you think about

3921
02:10:28,678 --> 02:10:31,678
teens that she'll extend that

3922
02:10:32,548 --> 02:10:33,316
teen boundary because that 18

3923
02:10:33,316 --> 02:10:36,916
to 25 year old age range needs

3924
02:10:36,919 --> 02:10:37,587
you They are the age group that

3925
02:10:37,587 --> 02:10:39,987
the industries of addiction

3926
02:10:41,524 --> 02:10:44,524
target be they tobacco stores,

3927
02:10:46,495 --> 02:10:47,263
alcohol outlets or marijuana

3928
02:10:47,263 --> 02:10:48,640
store fronts And we need to

3929
02:10:48,640 --> 02:10:51,664
look carefully at the role they

3930
02:10:51,933 --> 02:10:52,701
play and diverting our young

3931
02:10:52,701 --> 02:10:55,738
people in a pathway that would

3932
02:10:55,738 --> 02:10:56,239
make them more successful and

3933
02:10:56,239 --> 02:10:56,805
not encourage that

3934
02:10:56,805 --> 02:10:58,805
proliferation or more

3935
02:11:00,809 --> 02:11:01,544
particularly normalize it by

3936
02:11:01,544 --> 02:11:02,110
what we see in our billboards

3937
02:11:02,110 --> 02:11:04,110
on our roadways.

3938
02:11:06,470 --> 02:11:06,848
So thank you City going forward

3939
02:11:06,848 --> 02:11:07,249
let's take a new look at those

3940
02:11:07,249 --> 02:11:09,249
billboards.

3941
02:11:11,200 --> 02:11:11,754
It's not what I would call a

3942
02:11:11,754 --> 02:11:15,354
child and teen friendly city to

3943
02:11:15,658 --> 02:11:16,192
have them looming over our

3944
02:11:16,192 --> 02:11:18,192
Highway five and 15.

3945
02:11:21,329 --> 02:11:21,831
Thank you.

3946
02:11:21,831 --> 02:11:22,465
>> Thank you.

3947
02:11:22,465 --> 02:11:23,990
That concludes on general

3948
02:11:23,990 --> 02:11:23,466
public comment for today.

3949
02:11:23,466 --> 02:11:24,200

business on the agenda.

4009
02:13:48,482 --> 02:13:51,418
However, the city must make

4010
02:13:51,418 --> 02:13:52,152
sure that no person or group of

4011
02:13:52,152 --> 02:13:52,753
people disrupt the meeting in a

4012
02:13:52,753 --> 02:13:53,453
way that prohibits other

4013
02:13:53,453 --> 02:13:55,853
speakers from expressing their

4014
02:13:56,624 --> 02:13:57,357
ideas and opinions such as

4015
02:13:57,357 --> 02:13:58,580
excessive yelling, screaming or

4016
02:13:58,580 --> 02:14:01,228
speaking beyond once a lot of

4017
02:14:01,228 --> 02:14:01,529
times or examples of disruption

4018
02:14:01,529 --> 02:14:02,296
.

4019
02:14:02,296 --> 02:14:02,963
So to make sure that everyone

4020
02:14:02,963 --> 02:14:05,963
here has an opportunity to

4021
02:14:06,634 --> 02:14:07,200
address the Council, I will

4022
02:14:07,200 --> 02:14:07,868
alert an individual or

4023
02:14:07,868 --> 02:14:08,535
individuals if I think their

4024
02:14:08,535 --> 02:14:10,535
conduct becomes disruptive.

4025
02:14:11,839 --> 02:14:12,572
If the disruption continues I

4026
02:14:12,572 --> 02:14:13,173
will rule the individual out of

4027
02:14:13,173 --> 02:14:15,573
order If the disruption

4028
02:14:15,843 --> 02:14:16,476
continues further I will

4029
02:14:16,476 --> 02:14:16,911
declare a recess so we can

4030
02:14:16,911 --> 02:14:17,678
restore order.

4031
02:14:17,678 --> 02:14:20,581
At that point I will direct

4032
02:14:20,581 --> 02:14:21,182
the individual or individuals

4033
02:14:21,182 --> 02:14:24,782
to leave the room And if

4034
02:14:25,285 --> 02:14:25,986
the individual refuses to leave

4035
02:14:25,986 --> 02:14:26,554
a police will escort

4036
02:14:26,554 --> 02:14:26,988
the individual out of

4037
02:14:26,988 --> 02:14:27,687
the building.

4038
02:14:27,687 --> 02:14:30,423
And if we have to repeat this

4039
02:14:30,423 --> 02:14:31,580
process of warning and

4040
02:14:31,580 --> 02:14:31,758
recessing the meeting, all

4041
02:14:31,758 --> 02:14:32,361
members of the public will be

4042
02:14:32,361 --> 02:14:34,761

be allowed to remain.

4045
02:14:36,796 --> 02:14:39,796
Again, we have these practices

4046
02:14:40,301 --> 02:14:40,967
and procedures to protect

4047
02:14:40,967 --> 02:14:41,702
the rights of other speakers

4048
02:14:41,702 --> 02:14:42,370
who wish to address the Council

4049
02:14:42,370 --> 02:14:45,970
and to allow the Council to

4050
02:14:45,973 --> 02:14:46,673

4205
02:19:08,703 --> 02:19:09,700
Should you have any questions?

4206
02:19:09,700 --> 02:19:09,438
Thank you.

4207
02:19:09,438 --> 02:19:11,438
All right.

4208

Thank you for your

4210
02:19:13,541 --> 02:19:14,244
I understand the applicant on

4211
02:19:14,244 --> 02:19:17,645
this project is here but does

4212
02:19:17,645 --> 02:19:18,790
not wish to make a

4213
02:19:18,790 --> 02:19:18,546
presentation.

4214
02:19:18,546 --> 02:19:19,130
Is that correct?

4215
02:19:19,130 --> 02:19:19,347
That is correct.

4216
02:19:19,347 --> 02:19:19,714
Correct.

4217
02:19:19,714 --> 02:19:21,714
All right.

4218
02:19:22,450 --> 02:19:22,784
Thank you for confirming that

Thank you.

4223
02:19:26,788 --> 02:19:27,288
We have one person here in

4224
02:19:27,288 --> 02:19:27,956
council chambers.

4225
02:19:27,956 --> 02:19:30,956
>> Cesar happier if you can

4226
02:19:38,300 --> 02:19:40,300
please come forward.

4227
02:19:43,472 --> 02:19:44,239
>> Sorry, I missed your class

4228
02:19:44,239 --> 02:19:47,239
from yesterday and this morning

4229
02:19:48,776 --> 02:19:52,380
we are sick but we are trying

4230
02:19:52,380 --> 02:19:53,348
to be a student and learner.

4231
02:19:53,348 --> 02:19:56,348
I oppose the construction of

4232
02:19:57,785 --> 02:20:00,185
this kind of shelter.

4233
02:20:02,557 --> 02:20:04,957
First recent Why accomplish

4234
02:20:05,693 --> 02:20:06,395
from ceqa Is this

4235
02:20:06,395 --> 02:20:08,795
the implementing guideline of

4236
02:20:10,365 --> 02:20:12,765
the state environmental Quality

4237
02:20:15,570 --> 02:20:15,937
Act of 1970?

4238
02:20:15,937 --> 02:20:16,538
Answer me.

4239
02:20:16,538 --> 02:20:18,938
You need to answer.

4240
02:20:21,142 --> 02:20:21,610
I might be committing crime

4241
02:20:21,610 --> 02:20:23,610
from MR. Lacob.

4242
02:20:25,680 --> 02:20:26,810
I don't want to commit any

4243
02:20:26,810 --> 02:20:26,648
felony here.

4244
02:20:26,648 --> 02:20:29,480
I must be respectful.

4245
02:20:31,190 --> 02:20:31,753
You stop the construction.

4246
02:20:31,753 --> 02:20:32,287
You study the implementing

4247
02:20:32,287 --> 02:20:34,287
guidelines of ceqa.

4248
02:20:35,590 --> 02:20:36,391
Please.

4249
02:20:36,391 --> 02:20:36,658
And you will know the reason

4250
02:20:36,658 --> 02:20:38,658
why.

4251
02:20:42,764 --> 02:20:43,365
Another thing is we have

4252
02:20:43,365 --> 02:20:45,166
lessons in the past Like

4253
02:20:45,166 --> 02:20:48,166
the lesson in the Montezuma

4254
02:20:50,538 --> 02:20:51,406
Fire.

4255
02:20:51,406 --> 02:20:55,600
They do not have the authority

4256
02:20:55,844 --> 02:20:58,244
to interpret that property

4257
02:20:59,714 --> 02:21:02,114
because that's the law.

4258
02:21:04,820 --> 02:21:05,487
When I raise my hand in

4259
02:21:05,487 --> 02:21:09,870
the meeting to say I know

4260
02:21:09,824 --> 02:21:10,194
the answer nobody allowed me to

4261
02:21:10,194 --> 02:21:10,859
speak up.

4262
02:21:10,859 --> 02:21:13,859
We need more adequate water.

4263
02:21:14,963 --> 02:21:15,564
Do you have adequate supply of

4264
02:21:15,564 --> 02:21:15,930
water in that structure?

4265
02:21:15,930 --> 02:21:17,930
Yes or no?

4266
02:21:18,767 --> 02:21:19,701
You need not to answer.

4267
02:21:19,701 --> 02:21:23,301
Is there a provision to catch

4268
02:21:24,139 --> 02:21:24,506
this precious gift from nature?

4269
02:21:24,506 --> 02:21:24,806
Rainwater.

4270
02:21:24,806 --> 02:21:26,806
Nada.

4271
02:21:28,310 --> 02:21:28,610
I saw your plan.

4272
02:21:28,610 --> 02:21:29,378
Nada.

4273
02:21:29,378 --> 02:21:32,978
It does not reflect the lessons

4274
02:21:33,550 --> 02:21:34,820
in the past Four shelters

4275
02:21:34,820 --> 02:21:34,483
decent home suitable

4276
02:21:34,483 --> 02:21:36,483
surrounding.

4277
02:21:38,520 --> 02:21:38,820
We have a nice ocean.

4278
02:21:38,820 --> 02:21:40,820
Now.

4279
02:21:43,240 --> 02:21:43,358
We will have to raise that that

4280
02:21:43,358 --> 02:21:43,925
height.

4281
02:21:43,925 --> 02:21:44,593
>> Time has come.

4282
02:21:44,593 --> 02:21:45,260
Many more but only one for.

4283
02:21:45,260 --> 02:21:47,260
1 minute or 2 minutes.

4284
02:21:47,428 --> 02:21:48,960
Thank you.

4285
02:21:48,960 --> 02:21:48,697
>> Five minute timer has

4286
02:21:48,697 --> 02:21:51,970
started here in council

4287
02:21:52,267 --> 02:21:53,235
chambers Going to John Stump.

4288
02:21:53,235 --> 02:21:56,835
John Stump If you can please

4289
02:21:58,407 --> 02:22:00,407
unmute.

4290
02:22:01,142 --> 02:22:01,910
I want that someone out here.

4291
02:22:01,910 --> 02:22:05,510
Look at the question I have

4292
02:22:06,915 --> 02:22:11,115
about this item is are all of

4293
02:22:11,152 --> 02:22:14,152
the costs being absorbed and

4294
02:22:16,825 --> 02:22:17,759
paid for by the applicant?

4295
02:22:17,759 --> 02:22:20,562
Now I view is that's what's

4296
02:22:20,562 --> 02:22:21,496
reflected in the staff report

4297
02:22:21,496 --> 02:22:25,367
or is it one of these typical

4298
02:22:25,367 --> 02:22:27,367
No financial employment

4299
02:22:30,572 --> 02:22:33,572
implications for the city of

4300
02:22:35,277 --> 02:22:35,977
San Diego gives free or

4301
02:22:35,977 --> 02:22:38,377
subsidizes with taxpayer money

4302
02:22:40,415 --> 02:22:41,490
Some projects and charges

4303
02:22:41,490 --> 02:22:43,490
disproportionally others.

4304
02:22:45,620 --> 02:22:48,620
Let's look at the item.

4305
02:22:54,929 --> 02:22:55,598
Does it say any or not?

4306
02:22:55,598 --> 02:22:56,531
>> Thank you very much.

4307
02:22:56,531 --> 02:23:00,131
Blair Beekman If you can please

4308
02:23:04,539 --> 02:23:05,390
unmute.

4309
02:23:05,390 --> 02:23:05,407
>> Hi.

4310
02:23:05,407 --> 02:23:07,407
Thank you.

4311
02:23:10,579 --> 02:23:10,946
Blair Beekman Thank you for

4312
02:23:10,946 --> 02:23:11,647
this item.

4313
02:23:11,647 --> 02:23:15,651
Thank you for the words of MR.

4314
02:23:15,651 --> 02:23:16,384
Harvey for Harvey are here.

4315
02:23:16,384 --> 02:23:18,784
I'm pronouncing that correctly.

4316
02:23:18,854 --> 02:23:19,621
MR. Harvey Here who he has

4317
02:23:19,621 --> 02:23:21,456
inspired me to want to speak on

4318
02:23:21,456 --> 02:23:25,656
this item So thank you for his

4319
02:23:27,195 --> 02:23:30,195
words and a few words.

4320
02:23:31,600 --> 02:23:32,234
Again to MR. Stump and how I'm

4321
02:23:32,234 --> 02:23:32,568
addressing and thinking of

4322
02:23:32,568 --> 02:23:33,202
issues.

4323
02:23:33,202 --> 02:23:36,137
MR. Harvey ever brought up

4324
02:23:36,137 --> 02:23:37,272
the idea of a textbook?

4325
02:23:37,272 --> 02:23:40,575
There is not a use of secure in

4326
02:23:40,575 --> 02:23:41,443
this item.

4327
02:23:41,443 --> 02:23:45,430
I'm very worried that we really

4328
02:23:45,614 --> 02:23:49,214
are like kind of trying to

4329
02:23:49,484 --> 02:23:50,352
shortchange secure as much as

4330
02:23:50,352 --> 02:23:51,520
we can to say that we're like

4331
02:23:51,520 --> 02:23:53,452
innovative in being more

4332
02:23:54,156 --> 02:23:54,824
streamlined and when secret

4333
02:23:54,824 --> 02:23:57,824
does some really good thing.

4334
02:23:59,728 --> 02:24:00,620
And we need to acknowledge that

4335
02:24:00,620 --> 02:24:00,729
.

4336
02:24:00,729 --> 02:24:01,300
With the recent wildfires in

4337
02:24:01,300 --> 02:24:03,300
L.A..

4338
02:24:04,660 --> 02:24:04,700
Gavin Newsom Governor Newsom

4339
02:24:04,700 --> 02:24:05,334
has completely ended ceqa

4340
02:24:05,334 --> 02:24:07,734
processes for the upcoming

4341
02:24:09,971 --> 02:24:10,807
rebuilding process.

4342
02:24:10,807 --> 02:24:14,407
We just had, you know, rains

4343
02:24:14,410 --> 02:24:15,210
and some, you know, small

4344
02:24:15,210 --> 02:24:19,247
mudslides in L.A. The past few

4345
02:24:19,247 --> 02:24:19,982
days.

4346
02:24:19,982 --> 02:24:20,816
What's the environmental impact

4347
02:24:20,816 --> 02:24:24,420
going to be without any sort of

4348
02:24:24,420 --> 02:24:24,820
sequel on the future

4349
02:24:24,820 --> 02:24:25,487
rebuilding?

4350
02:24:25,487 --> 02:24:25,821
I think there's going to be

4351
02:24:25,821 --> 02:24:27,821
madness.

4352
02:24:28,570 --> 02:24:28,758
I think we're in serious

4353
02:24:28,758 --> 02:24:29,458
trouble and those are the kind

4354
02:24:29,458 --> 02:24:33,580
of practices I don't want San

4355
02:24:33,128 --> 02:24:33,895
Diego going to be following.

4356
02:24:33,895 --> 02:24:37,495
I don't want wildfires to be

4357
02:24:38,134 --> 02:24:38,501
creating this free for all for

4358
02:24:38,501 --> 02:24:39,235
ourselves.

4359
02:24:39,235 --> 02:24:41,635
You're basically inviting forms

4360
02:24:43,720 --> 02:24:43,506
of disaster capitalism and I'm

4361
02:24:43,506 --> 02:24:44,340
very worried.

4362
02:24:44,340 --> 02:24:48,310
We have to really hold the line

4363
02:24:48,310 --> 02:24:49,120
and and continue our best

4364
02:24:49,120 --> 02:24:52,120
practices in light of really

4365
02:24:52,515 --> 02:24:53,349
horrific events.

4366
02:24:53,349 --> 02:24:54,116
Good luck how we can do that

4367
02:24:54,116 --> 02:24:57,620
and I hope we can address this

4368
02:24:57,620 --> 02:24:58,220
current issue if there can be

4369
02:24:58,220 --> 02:24:58,921
good secret practices to

4370
02:24:58,921 --> 02:25:02,491
involved with it that we don't

4371
02:25:02,491 --> 02:25:02,792
have to be afraid to involve

4372
02:25:02,792 --> 02:25:03,559
them.

4373
02:25:03,559 --> 02:25:07,630
I'm sorry to say that I don't

4374
02:25:07,630 --> 02:25:08,297
want to hurt the people who are

4375
02:25:08,297 --> 02:25:08,964
wanting to build a home here

4376
02:25:08,964 --> 02:25:09,332

4395
02:25:34,590 --> 02:25:35,191
vacation of an area that was

4396
02:25:35,191 --> 02:25:37,191
previously vacated where

4397
02:25:39,628 --> 02:25:40,363
the city had wanted to have a

structure there in such a way

4403
02:25:50,600 --> 02:25:54,206
so that that is possible is a

4404
02:25:54,610 --> 02:25:55,311
is a good idea and so I would

4405
02:25:55,311 --> 02:25:56,450

02:29:55,785 --> 02:29:57,785
This amendment reduced

4545
02:30:00,357 --> 02:30:00,657
the requirement lot size in

20,000ft to 5000ft.

4552
02:30:08,698 --> 02:30:09,399
This action did not modify

4553
02:30:09,399 --> 02:30:12,399
the single family zoning for

4554
02:30:13,169 --> 02:30:13,869
those lots or the requirement

4555
02:30:13,869 --> 02:30:14,571
that the subdivision still be

4556
02:30:14,571 --> 02:30:16,740
consistent with the community

4559
02:30:25,749 --> 02:30:26,449
On DECEMBER 13th, 2021 the City

4560
02:30:26,449 --> 02:30:28,849

Development Code update which

4562
02:30:30,487 --> 02:30:31,540
amended Footnote seven.

4563
02:30:31,540 --> 02:30:33,540
This amendment applied

4564
02:30:35,250 --> 02:30:35,659

lot dimensions and setback

4568
02:30:39,863 --> 02:30:40,530

4571
02:30:44,735 --> 02:30:45,402
However to be consistent with

4572
02:30:45,402 --> 02:30:46,360
the community plan proposed

4573
02:30:46,360 --> 02:30:48,360
subdivisions cannot exceed

4574
02:30:48,205 --> 02:30:51,205
the community plan's density of

4575
02:30:52,909 --> 02:30:53,777
four units per acre.

4576
02:30:53,777 --> 02:30:56,177

communities The prior

4584
02:31:07,691 --> 02:31:08,291
amendments should have been

4585
02:31:08,291 --> 02:31:08,959
directly discussed with

4586
02:31:08,959 --> 02:31:11,359
the affected communities and

4587
02:31:12,329 --> 02:31:12,996
reviewed to determine if

4588
02:31:12,996 --> 02:31:13,697
Footnote seven should apply

4589
02:31:13,697 --> 02:31:16,970
citywide to ensure consistent

4590
02:31:17,334 --> 02:31:17,734
application of development

4591
02:31:17,734 --> 02:31:18,335
regulations.

4592
02:31:18,335 --> 02:31:18,969
Today the City Planning

4593
02:31:18,969 --> 02:31:21,369
Department is proposing to

4594
02:31:22,472 --> 02:31:25,308
amend the municipal Code by

4595
02:31:25,308 --> 02:31:25,742
removing Footnote seven from

4596
02:31:25,742 --> 02:31:26,709
table 13104d.

4597
02:31:26,709 --> 02:31:29,709
This will ensure the consistent

4598
02:31:30,847 --> 02:31:33,247
application of development of

4599
02:31:35,850 --> 02:31:38,850
the s12 zone citywide Repealing

4600
02:31:40,557 --> 02:31:41,191
footnote seven would restore

4607
02:31:49,660 --> 02:31:49,799
This change would apply

4608
02:31:49,799 --> 02:31:51,799
consistent citywide regulations

4609
02:31:53,603 --> 02:31:53,937

4611
02:31:54,638 --> 02:31:55,172
Applicants could still request

02:31:55,172 --> 02:31:57,572
to rezone to achieve

4613
02:32:01,211 --> 02:32:01,979
the community plan densities.

>> The proposed amendment to

4615
02:32:06,617 --> 02:32:07,150
remove footnote seven would

4616
02:32:07,150 --> 02:32:07,751

the affected communities but

4619
02:32:11,521 --> 02:32:12,222
would result in the same

development potential assumed

4621
02:32:12,890 --> 02:32:14,925
in the community Plan Update

4622
02:32:14,925 --> 02:32:15,292
adopted in 2015.

4623

The r.

4624
02:32:15,959 --> 02:32:18,959

and redlining have been

4629
02:32:30,307 --> 02:32:32,707
discussed at hearings related

4630
02:32:32,876 --> 02:32:33,577
to Footnote seven the City

4631
02:32:33,577 --> 02:32:34,211
Planning Department wanted to

4632
02:32:34,211 --> 02:32:36,611
provide a clarification of

4633
02:32:37,748 --> 02:32:38,449
the definition of fair housing

4634
02:32:38,449 --> 02:32:39,116
and how it applies to Footnote

4635
02:32:39,116 --> 02:32:41,116
seven California Government

4636
02:32:42,719 --> 02:32:43,353
Code requires all public

affirmatively further fair

housing affirmatively

4640
02:32:48,580 --> 02:32:48,725
furthering fair housing is

4641
02:32:48,725 --> 02:32:49,426
defined as taking meaningful

4642
02:32:49,426 --> 02:32:51,826
actions to address significant

4643
02:32:51,929 --> 02:32:52,596
disparities in housing needs

4644
02:32:52,596 --> 02:32:54,996
and access to opportunities.

4645
02:32:56,867 --> 02:32:57,601
This includes replacing

4646
02:32:57,601 --> 02:32:58,235
segregated living patterns with

4647
02:32:58,235 --> 02:33:00,235
truly integrated balanced

4648
02:33:01,839 --> 02:33:02,439
communities transforming

4649
02:33:02,439 --> 02:33:03,140
racially and ethnically

4650
02:33:03,140 --> 02:33:05,540
concentrated areas of poverty

4651
02:33:06,910 --> 02:33:07,544
into areas of opportunity and

4652
02:33:07,544 --> 02:33:08,212
fostering and maintaining

4653
02:33:08,212 --> 02:33:10,612
compliance with civil rights

4654
02:33:11,882 --> 02:33:12,583
and fair housing laws.

4655
02:33:12,583 --> 02:33:13,283
Although the process by which

4656
02:33:13,283 --> 02:33:16,283
Footnote seven was adopted did

4657
02:33:16,820 --> 02:33:17,521
not represent planning

4658
02:33:17,521 --> 02:33:18,188
practices procedurally it did

4659
02:33:18,188 --> 02:33:21,788
not lead to outcomes that do

4660
02:33:21,959 --> 02:33:22,293
not affirmatively further fair

4661
02:33:22,293 --> 02:33:22,860
housing.

4662
02:33:22,860 --> 02:33:24,860
Footnote seven allows

4663
02:33:25,896 --> 02:33:26,597
additional market rate single

4664
02:33:26,597 --> 02:33:27,264
family homes in low resource

4665
02:33:27,264 --> 02:33:27,830
communities consistent with

4666
02:33:27,830 --> 02:33:29,830
planning densities in

4667
02:33:31,268 --> 02:33:31,869
the community plan and does not

4668
02:33:31,869 --> 02:33:32,269
contradict fair housing

4669
02:33:32,269 --> 02:33:34,269
principles.

4670
02:33:36,400 --> 02:33:36,774
Fair housing includes expanding

4671
02:33:36,774 --> 02:33:37,341
housing opportunities including

4672
02:33:37,341 --> 02:33:39,341
more opportunities for

4673
02:33:40,744 --> 02:33:41,445
homeownership and improving

4674
02:33:41,445 --> 02:33:42,460
access to access to resources

4675
02:33:42,460 --> 02:33:44,460
rather than restricting

4676
02:33:46,183 --> 02:33:46,583
specific types of home

4677
02:33:46,583 --> 02:33:47,251
development.

4678
02:33:47,251 --> 02:33:47,885
Additionally, redlining was

4679
02:33:47,885 --> 02:33:50,285
historically used to deny

4680
02:33:51,388 --> 02:33:52,890
opportunity for homeownership.

4681
02:33:52,890 --> 02:33:52,790
The adoption of the footnote

4682
02:33:52,790 --> 02:33:55,190
allows for more homeownership

4683
02:33:55,225 --> 02:33:57,625
opportunities and therefore is

4684
02:34:00,640 --> 02:34:03,640
not a form of redlining.

4685
02:34:05,340 --> 02:34:05,703
>> The proposed amendment to

4686
02:34:05,703 --> 02:34:06,236
remove footnote seven would

4687
02:34:06,236 --> 02:34:06,869
decrease the allowed

4688
02:34:06,869 --> 02:34:08,869
development potential from

4689
02:34:09,672 --> 02:34:11,672
approximately 642 single family

4690
02:34:13,644 --> 02:34:14,411
homes to 177 homes which is a

4691
02:34:14,411 --> 02:34:16,811
difference of 465 single family

4692
02:34:18,282 --> 02:34:18,782

neighborhoods.

4695
02:34:22,519 --> 02:34:23,187
This change in development

4696
02:34:23,187 --> 02:34:23,854
potential was calculated by

4697
02:34:23,854 --> 02:34:26,254
applying the community plan

4698
02:34:27,424 --> 02:34:28,580
land use density and minimum

4699
02:34:28,580 --> 02:34:31,580

The Southeastern San Diego

4706
02:34:37,768 --> 02:34:38,502
have any change to

the community.

4711
02:34:51,182 --> 02:34:51,949
>> The state requires the city

4712
02:34:51,949 --> 02:34:52,650
to identify if there are enough

4713
02:34:52,650 --> 02:34:55,319

If a site identified in

the inventory is rezone and

4719
02:35:01,725 --> 02:35:05,325
that rezone would result in a

4720
02:35:05,629 --> 02:35:06,230
reduction of housing capacity

community planning area.

4727
02:35:18,776 --> 02:35:19,276
These sites were addressed or

4728
02:35:19,276 --> 02:35:19,910
assessed based on

4729
02:35:19,910 --> 02:35:21,910
the development potential

02:35:26,984 --> 02:35:29,984

4742
02:35:45,636 --> 02:35:46,337

4743
02:35:46,337 --> 02:35:49,337

4753
02:36:04,550 --> 02:36:06,455
The proposed repeal of

4754
02:36:08,292 --> 02:36:09,930
the footnote would allow 465

4755
02:36:09,930 --> 02:36:12,930
fewer single family homes on

4756
02:36:13,430 --> 02:36:14,650

This provision of state law

4760
02:36:18,869 --> 02:36:21,739
would not be applicable as

4761
02:36:21,739 --> 02:36:22,440

The removal of footnote seven

4765
02:36:27,978 --> 02:36:28,579
would result in the same

directing staff not to apply

4829
02:38:30,868 --> 02:38:33,268
these adopted regulations would

seven from table 13104

The Today staff is recommending

4851
02:39:15,130 --> 02:39:15,679
to adopt an amendment to

4852
02:39:15,679 --> 02:39:18,679

4859
02:39:32,263 --> 02:39:32,831
presentation.

4860
02:39:32,831 --> 02:39:33,231
>> Thank you.

4861
02:39:33,231 --> 02:39:33,965
All right.

4862
02:39:33,965 --> 02:39:36,267
Thank you for the presentation.

4863
02:39:36,267 --> 02:39:36,734

4865
02:39:37,168 --> 02:39:39,168
>> Thank you.

4866
02:39:40,471 --> 02:39:41,138
We do have over 60 people who

4867
02:39:41,138 --> 02:39:41,940
would like to speak on this

4868
02:39:41,940 --> 02:39:42,273
item so it will be one minute

4869
02:39:42,273 --> 02:39:44,273
apiece.

4870
02:39:45,810 --> 02:39:46,544
I have some reserved seats in

4871
02:39:46,544 --> 02:39:46,911

4872
02:39:46,911 --> 02:39:48,911
your name.

4873
02:39:49,647 --> 02:39:50,314
If you can please come forward

4874
02:39:50,314 --> 02:39:50,949
to those reserved seats for

4875
02:39:50,949 --> 02:39:51,515
better meeting management.

4876
02:39:51,515 --> 02:39:53,915
That would be greatly

4877
02:39:55,453 --> 02:39:56,221
appreciated.

4878
02:39:56,221 --> 02:39:59,821
So the first speaker is Dan

4879
02:40:01,659 --> 02:40:02,193
Boileau or Jen Eastman.

4880
02:40:02,193 --> 02:40:02,527
Kathleen MacLeod.

4881
02:40:02,527 --> 02:40:03,280
MacLeod.

4882
02:40:03,280 --> 02:40:05,280
Marcelino DaSilva.

4883
02:40:05,300 --> 02:40:05,396
Allen Conrad and Vicki

4884
02:40:05,396 --> 02:40:06,970
Estrella.

4885
02:40:06,970 --> 02:40:07,365
If you can please come up to

4886
02:40:07,365 --> 02:40:08,533
those reserved seats And Dan

4887
02:40:08,533 --> 02:40:12,133
can come up to the microphone

4888
02:40:21,579 --> 02:40:23,579
please.

4889
02:40:30,789 --> 02:40:33,189
>> Dan, are you here?

4890
02:40:35,760 --> 02:40:36,628
MR. PRESIDENT, council members

4891
02:40:36,628 --> 02:40:37,329
and City Council My name is Dan

4892
02:40:37,329 --> 02:40:40,329
Boyd with D.R. Horton

4893
02:40:41,199 --> 02:40:41,800
representing speaking to

4894
02:40:41,800 --> 02:40:42,501
the matter this evening.

4895
02:40:42,501 --> 02:40:45,501
We've been with the community

4896
02:40:46,380 --> 02:40:46,704
for over two years advocating

4897
02:40:46,704 --> 02:40:49,104
our proposal which includes

4898
02:40:49,774 --> 02:40:50,642
about 123 units.

4899
02:40:50,642 --> 02:40:54,242
In doing so we applaud any

4900
02:40:54,880 --> 02:40:55,447
attention that deservedly goes

4901
02:40:55,447 --> 02:40:56,810
to the community plan.

4902
02:40:56,810 --> 02:40:58,481
The community plan is

4903
02:40:59,951 --> 02:41:00,785
the guarantee document.

4904
02:41:00,785 --> 02:41:01,486
It is the principle in which

4905
02:41:01,486 --> 02:41:03,886
footprints of communities are

4906
02:41:05,257 --> 02:41:05,891
established and developed.

4907
02:41:05,891 --> 02:41:06,591
If that community plan has

4908
02:41:06,591 --> 02:41:09,894
changed, so does the makeup of

4909
02:41:09,894 --> 02:41:10,562
that community.

4910
02:41:10,562 --> 02:41:11,263
Zoning does not do that.

4911
02:41:11,263 --> 02:41:14,650
The community plan does that.

4912
02:41:14,650 --> 02:41:14,699
I'm not here advocating Our

4913
02:41:14,699 --> 02:41:15,534
project is not subject to

4914
02:41:15,534 --> 02:41:19,304
the agenda But I would like to

4915
02:41:19,304 --> 02:41:19,938
say that it is possible to

4916
02:41:19,938 --> 02:41:22,338
provide housing under this

4917
02:41:25,277 --> 02:41:26,245
community plan within the 0 to

4918
02:41:26,245 --> 02:41:28,814
4 d per acre and comply with

4919
02:41:28,814 --> 02:41:29,781
the community plan.

4920
02:41:29,781 --> 02:41:30,282
As such our project is a fine

4921
02:41:30,282 --> 02:41:32,282
example of that.

4922
02:41:34,753 --> 02:41:35,454
It was deemed complete under

4923
02:41:35,454 --> 02:41:36,880
the community plan and zoning

4924
02:41:36,880 --> 02:41:39,880
which allows for time has

4925
02:41:39,490 --> 02:41:39,958
concluded.

4926
02:41:39,958 --> 02:41:40,559
Thank you.

4927
02:41:40,559 --> 02:41:41,259
Thank you for that.

4928
02:41:41,259 --> 02:41:41,593
Provide opportunities for new

4929
02:41:41,593 --> 02:41:42,600
housing.

4930
02:41:42,600 --> 02:41:44,600
Thank you Jen.

4931
02:41:47,232 --> 02:41:48,133
Easement.

4932
02:41:48,133 --> 02:41:51,733
>> Hi my name is Janet Eastman.

4933
02:41:52,237 --> 02:41:52,871
You might recognize me as a

4934
02:41:52,871 --> 02:41:53,572
resident who advocates for

4935
02:41:53,572 --> 02:41:56,572
the relocation of the proposed

4936
02:41:57,242 --> 02:41:57,609
Fairmount Fire Station.

4937
02:41:57,609 --> 02:41:58,410
But no.

4938
02:41:58,410 --> 02:41:58,743
Seven is a piece of the same

4939
02:41:58,743 --> 02:41:59,311
puzzle.

4940
02:41:59,311 --> 02:42:01,311
If further highlights

4941
02:42:02,514 --> 02:42:03,148
the inequities of the region of

4942
02:42:03,148 --> 02:42:03,882
this region of the city, I

4943
02:42:03,882 --> 02:42:07,482
think that city council and I'm

4944
02:42:07,552 --> 02:42:08,420
not sure who to point a finger

4945
02:42:08,420 --> 02:42:09,870
at looks at a map and says Look

4946
02:42:09,870 --> 02:42:11,390
there's a green space

4947
02:42:11,390 --> 02:42:11,989
capitalism and let's build

4948
02:42:11,989 --> 02:42:12,558
something massive like a

4949
02:42:12,558 --> 02:42:14,558
housing development or

4950
02:42:16,527 --> 02:42:17,295
apartment buildings that share

4951
02:42:17,295 --> 02:42:17,929
a parking lot with a library or

4952
02:42:17,929 --> 02:42:20,929
a four story fire station.

4953
02:42:21,533 --> 02:42:22,334
It's never this area needs a

4954
02:42:22,334 --> 02:42:22,735
park or a trail or an open

4955
02:42:22,735 --> 02:42:24,735
green space.

4956
02:42:26,305 --> 02:42:26,938
The inequity inequity will

4957
02:42:26,938 --> 02:42:27,573
continue to persist in our

4958
02:42:27,573 --> 02:42:29,973
communities unless we come

4959
02:42:30,740 --> 02:42:30,575
together and take targeted

4960
02:42:30,575 --> 02:42:31,310
consistent action.

4961
02:42:31,310 --> 02:42:34,910
MR. Foster we are counting on

4962
02:42:35,380 --> 02:42:36,140
you to represent our needs,

4963
02:42:36,140 --> 02:42:36,748
take immediate action and

4964
02:42:36,748 --> 02:42:37,349
remove the betrayal of Footnote

4965
02:42:37,349 --> 02:42:39,451
seven in District four.

4966
02:42:39,451 --> 02:42:40,180
Thank you.

4967
02:42:40,180 --> 02:42:42,418
I yield my time.

4968
02:42:49,294 --> 02:42:49,962
Kathleen Good afternoon.

4969
02:42:49,962 --> 02:42:51,962
>> Council PRESIDENT LaCava,

4970
02:42:54,600 --> 02:42:55,267
Henry Foster and other council

4971
02:42:55,267 --> 02:42:57,667
members I'm Kathleen McCloud

4972
02:42:58,337 --> 02:42:58,971
have owned my home in Encanto

4973
02:42:58,971 --> 02:42:59,638
for 30 years and received

4974
02:42:59,638 --> 02:43:02,380
occasional notices of public

4975
02:43:02,641 --> 02:43:03,800
hearings affecting my property

4976
02:43:03,800 --> 02:43:05,800
interest.

4977
02:43:07,379 --> 02:43:07,980
However, I wasn't notified when

4978
02:43:07,980 --> 02:43:08,580
the Planning Commission

4979
02:43:08,580 --> 02:43:10,980
considered a rezoning in

4980
02:43:12,350 --> 02:43:13,118
Emerald Hills that also applied

4981
02:43:13,118 --> 02:43:13,552
to my property in yet another

4982
02:43:13,552 --> 02:43:15,552
neighborhood.

4983
02:43:16,880 --> 02:43:16,755
Footnote seven Not only

4984
02:43:16,755 --> 02:43:19,755
rezoning a parcel to benefit

4985
02:43:20,726 --> 02:43:21,627
the developer it rezoning 19%

4986
02:43:21,627 --> 02:43:25,497
of very low density land in our

4987
02:43:25,497 --> 02:43:26,231
planning area without affording

4988
02:43:26,231 --> 02:43:29,231
hundreds of property owners due

4989
02:43:30,703 --> 02:43:31,690
process rights to be informed

4990
02:43:31,690 --> 02:43:31,703
and heard.

4991
02:43:31,703 --> 02:43:34,703
The major scheme the major

4992
02:43:34,907 --> 02:43:35,641
scheme took away our unique

4993
02:43:35,641 --> 02:43:37,641
semi-rural community character.

4994
02:43:39,344 --> 02:43:40,312
Without a community plan

4995
02:43:40,312 --> 02:43:43,312
amendment as required by our

4996
02:43:43,715 --> 02:43:44,450
information Bulletin 517I

4997
02:43:44,450 --> 02:43:44,917
respectfully urge you to repeal

4998
02:43:44,917 --> 02:43:46,917
Footnote seven.

4999
02:43:48,870 --> 02:43:48,754
Halt projects in the pipeline

5000
02:43:48,754 --> 02:43:51,154
as asserted by community

5001
02:43:53,559 --> 02:43:54,326
standards.

5002
02:43:54,326 --> 02:43:54,992
And thank you for that

5003
02:43:54,992 --> 02:43:55,727
concluding comment process.

5004
02:43:55,727 --> 02:43:59,327
Thank you for that Calling upon

5005
02:44:03,680 --> 02:44:03,702
Marcelino.

5006
02:44:03,702 --> 02:44:04,470
>> Good afternoon.

5007
02:44:04,470 --> 02:44:08,700
My name is Marcelino de Silva.

5008
02:44:08,207 --> 02:44:08,807
Our community of encounter has

5009
02:44:08,807 --> 02:44:09,474
seen time and time again

5010
02:44:09,474 --> 02:44:10,175
the disregard of our leaders

5011
02:44:10,175 --> 02:44:13,212
when it comes to common sense

5012
02:44:13,212 --> 02:44:13,579
practices used elsewhere in

5013
02:44:13,579 --> 02:44:14,179
the city.

5014
02:44:14,179 --> 02:44:16,849
In our area we have no

5015
02:44:16,849 --> 02:44:17,549
sidewalks, no proper street

5016
02:44:17,549 --> 02:44:18,183
lighting, irregular roads and

5017
02:44:18,183 --> 02:44:18,750
most of these roads are in

5018
02:44:18,750 --> 02:44:20,750
deplorable condition.

5019
02:44:22,688 --> 02:44:23,422
Last year we had floods after

5020
02:44:23,422 --> 02:44:23,989
heavy rainfall that debilitated

5021
02:44:23,989 --> 02:44:26,389
our trolley system and

5022
02:44:27,660 --> 02:44:28,270
destroyed interior of homes

5023
02:44:28,270 --> 02:44:28,661
around it.

5024
02:44:28,661 --> 02:44:31,661
Encounter now seems to be

5025
02:44:31,830 --> 02:44:32,497
the new land buy in El Dorado

5026
02:44:32,497 --> 02:44:33,132
for investors who want to

5027
02:44:33,132 --> 02:44:35,532
maximize their profits by

5028
02:44:36,969 --> 02:44:37,769
building as many ag use and

5029
02:44:37,769 --> 02:44:38,470
junior ag use units that our

5030
02:44:38,470 --> 02:44:41,470
city or loopholes will allow.

5031
02:44:42,608 --> 02:44:43,141
No traditional rules apply for

5032
02:44:43,141 --> 02:44:43,576
these newly proposed

5033
02:44:43,576 --> 02:44:44,310
developments.

5034
02:44:44,310 --> 02:44:47,312
No onsite parking, no regard to

5035
02:44:47,312 --> 02:44:47,980
traditional fire codes, no

5036
02:44:47,980 --> 02:44:48,547
environmental impact reports

5037
02:44:48,547 --> 02:44:51,547
and no egress plan for

5038
02:44:52,217 --> 02:44:52,651
the neighborhood taken into

5039
02:44:52,651 --> 02:44:53,419
consideration.

5040
02:44:53,419 --> 02:44:56,555
Our petition has been signed by

5041
02:44:56,555 --> 02:44:57,156
more than 500 residents and

5042
02:44:57,156 --> 02:44:57,890
continues to grow daily.

5043
02:44:57,890 --> 02:45:00,259
We are certain that our numbers

5044
02:45:00,259 --> 02:45:00,992
will be in the thousands when

5045
02:45:00,992 --> 02:45:01,660
our local elections happens and

5046
02:45:01,660 --> 02:45:02,610
we are going to remember who

5047
02:45:02,610 --> 02:45:04,610
stood by us.

5048
02:45:06,232 --> 02:45:06,999
>> Thank you Alan Connor.

5049
02:45:06,999 --> 02:45:09,999
>> After that will be Wiki

5050
02:45:10,402 --> 02:45:11,103
Australia and then after that

5051
02:45:11,103 --> 02:45:11,636
if I can have the following

5052
02:45:11,636 --> 02:45:13,636
individuals come up.

5053
02:45:15,273 --> 02:45:15,974
Lucy Price Martha Abraham and

5054
02:45:15,974 --> 02:45:18,974
Evelyn Smith and returns These

5055
02:45:19,478 --> 02:45:19,945
are heavier.

5056
02:45:19,945 --> 02:45:20,512
Please continue.

5057
02:45:20,512 --> 02:45:21,247
I think I just heard

5058
02:45:21,247 --> 02:45:24,517
the gentleman say that it would

5059
02:45:24,517 --> 02:45:25,251
be illegal to stop

5060
02:45:25,251 --> 02:45:28,251
the developments on on radio

5061
02:45:29,788 --> 02:45:30,489
and clobber but I think it's it

5062
02:45:30,489 --> 02:45:34,890
was illegal the way that this

5063
02:45:34,326 --> 02:45:35,600
footnote was inserted and no

5064
02:45:35,600 --> 02:45:35,828
one is taking accountability on

5065
02:45:35,828 --> 02:45:38,764
this board of how it arrived

5066
02:45:38,764 --> 02:45:39,300
there And who put it there and

5067
02:45:39,300 --> 02:45:39,732
why.

5068
02:45:39,732 --> 02:45:40,320
And so that's what I would

5069
02:45:40,320 --> 02:45:42,320
like.

5070
02:45:43,636 --> 02:45:44,403
I think that's a more illegal

5071
02:45:44,403 --> 02:45:46,803
situation than idea that

5072
02:45:48,841 --> 02:45:49,442
stopping the h r Horton

5073
02:45:49,442 --> 02:45:51,442
development is illegal.

5074
02:45:53,379 --> 02:45:54,280
Y'all got caught and y'all need

5075
02:45:54,280 --> 02:45:57,315
to be take accountability And I

5076
02:45:57,315 --> 02:45:57,817
want to hear who is who put

5077
02:45:57,817 --> 02:45:59,817
this stuff there.

5078
02:46:00,352 --> 02:46:03,352
That's what I care about

5079
02:46:05,725 --> 02:46:07,725
because Ryan.

5080
02:46:10,530 --> 02:46:11,396
>> Good afternoon.

5081
02:46:11,396 --> 02:46:12,300
>> Council members Like most of

5082
02:46:12,300 --> 02:46:12,732
the people in this room I

5083
02:46:12,732 --> 02:46:14,732
oppose staff's recommendation

5084
02:46:15,633 --> 02:46:16,302
as proposed.

5085
02:46:16,302 --> 02:46:17,300
Footnote seven should be

5086
02:46:17,300 --> 02:46:19,403
removed but must include

5087
02:46:20,773 --> 02:46:21,507
the nullification of any and

5088
02:46:21,507 --> 02:46:24,507
all projects resulting from its

5089
02:46:25,611 --> 02:46:25,910
unlawful insertion into city

5090
02:46:25,910 --> 02:46:26,479
code.

5091
02:46:26,479 --> 02:46:27,113
By targeting only our

5092
02:46:27,113 --> 02:46:29,113
under-resourced community.

5093
02:46:30,883 --> 02:46:31,283
City staff violated fair

5094
02:46:31,283 --> 02:46:31,884
housing law.

5095
02:46:31,884 --> 02:46:34,884
Yeah they violated a law

5096
02:46:35,554 --> 02:46:36,880
because you cannot discriminate

5097
02:46:36,880 --> 02:46:36,722
against a community.

5098
02:46:36,722 --> 02:46:39,122
They ignored more affluent

5099
02:46:40,792 --> 02:46:41,393
affluent communities and picked

5100
02:46:41,393 --> 02:46:41,793
one that they saw as

5101
02:46:41,793 --> 02:46:43,793
vulnerable.

5102
02:46:45,565 --> 02:46:46,132
They also skirted public

5103
02:46:46,132 --> 02:46:46,832
transparency and input

5104
02:46:46,832 --> 02:46:49,232
requirements by sneaking this

5105
02:46:49,969 --> 02:46:50,403
footnote into the code behind

5106
02:46:50,403 --> 02:46:52,403
closed doors.

5107
02:46:54,974 --> 02:46:55,641
Please do not be swayed by

5108
02:46:55,641 --> 02:46:56,342
the justifications you hear

5109
02:46:56,342 --> 02:46:58,742
from the Planning Department.

5110
02:46:59,879 --> 02:47:00,213
They are meant to distract and

5111
02:47:00,213 --> 02:47:00,880
confuse.

5112
02:47:00,880 --> 02:47:04,480
The core issue here is that

5113
02:47:04,916 --> 02:47:05,785
they committed a bad act.

5114
02:47:05,785 --> 02:47:08,785
Do not cosign on their

5115
02:47:09,255 --> 02:47:09,722
discrimination on their on

5116
02:47:09,722 --> 02:47:10,256
their deception.

5117
02:47:10,256 --> 02:47:12,656
Stop it now please.

5118
02:47:13,559 --> 02:47:13,893
Thank you for that Concluding

5119
02:47:13,893 --> 02:47:14,260
remark.

5120
02:47:14,260 --> 02:47:16,260
>> Lucy.

5121
02:47:18,865 --> 02:47:19,332
Lucy Price.

5122
02:47:19,332 --> 02:47:20,320
Good afternoon.

5123
02:47:20,320 --> 02:47:23,632
Thank you so much for allowing

5124
02:47:24,270 --> 02:47:24,836
me to speak.

5125
02:47:24,836 --> 02:47:25,338
My name is Lisa.

5126
02:47:25,338 --> 02:47:25,705
I'm so sorry.

5127
02:47:25,705 --> 02:47:26,672
What I do.

5128
02:47:26,672 --> 02:47:27,373
If you could just move speaking

5129
02:47:27,373 --> 02:47:27,940
to the microphone more.

5130
02:47:27,940 --> 02:47:29,940
>> Oh, okay.

5131
02:47:32,110 --> 02:47:32,678
Sorry.

5132
02:47:32,678 --> 02:47:33,446
My name is Lucy Price.

5133
02:47:33,446 --> 02:47:35,846
My family has owned

5134
02:47:40,887 --> 02:47:41,287
the property at 6608 Wonderland

5135
02:47:41,287 --> 02:47:42,154
since 1907.

5136
02:47:42,154 --> 02:47:45,154
Four generations in my family

5137
02:47:46,125 --> 02:47:46,625
have attended Encanto

5138
02:47:46,625 --> 02:47:48,625
Elementary School.

5139
02:47:50,929 --> 02:47:51,264
I walked to school on bare dirt

5140
02:47:51,264 --> 02:47:51,997
.

5141
02:47:51,997 --> 02:47:55,134
My mother walked to school on

5142
02:47:55,134 --> 02:47:58,734
60th on bare dirt back in 1925.

5143
02:48:00,506 --> 02:48:00,872
My father walked to school on

5144
02:48:00,872 --> 02:48:02,872
bare dirt.

5145
02:48:05,144 --> 02:48:05,845
When he went to Encanto your

5146
02:48:05,845 --> 02:48:08,845
plan with this footnote will

5147
02:48:09,315 --> 02:48:11,315
destroy habitat immensely.

5148
02:48:14,120 --> 02:48:14,821
And I want you to remember that

5149
02:48:14,821 --> 02:48:15,153
bats are federally protected

5150
02:48:15,153 --> 02:48:17,153
animals.

5151
02:48:18,791 --> 02:48:19,459
Here is no plan to protect

5152
02:48:19,459 --> 02:48:22,328
the habitat and the animals.

5153
02:48:22,328 --> 02:48:24,328
>> Thank you.

5154
02:48:27,400 --> 02:48:27,967
>> Thank you, Martha.

5155
02:48:27,967 --> 02:48:28,735
You have time seated.

5156
02:48:28,735 --> 02:48:29,350
If they can please raise their

5157
02:48:29,350 --> 02:48:29,502
hands.

5158
02:48:29,502 --> 02:48:31,502
Brandon Becerra.

5159
02:48:32,438 --> 02:48:32,906
Thank you.

5160
02:48:32,906 --> 02:48:34,906
Canyon Becerra.

5161
02:48:37,243 --> 02:48:39,243
Charles Douglas.

5162
02:48:41,381 --> 02:48:41,713
Leo the Christa Fishman Myra

5163
02:48:41,713 --> 02:48:43,713
Ramirez.

5164
02:48:46,986 --> 02:48:47,387
I am leader Arthur Jackson and

5165
02:48:47,387 --> 02:48:47,820
Becky Right.

5166
02:48:47,820 --> 02:48:49,820
Rebecca Ryan.

5167
02:48:51,624 --> 02:48:52,190
Sorry.

5168
02:48:52,190 --> 02:48:52,658
I'll have ten minutes.

5169
02:48:52,658 --> 02:48:53,626
Please proceed.

5170
02:48:53,626 --> 02:48:56,930
My name is Martha Abraham and I

5171
02:48:56,930 --> 02:48:57,530
live in Emerald Hills and I'm

5172
02:48:57,530 --> 02:48:59,930
speaking on the record.

5173
02:49:00,733 --> 02:49:01,467
I want to first address

5174
02:49:01,467 --> 02:49:02,680
the rhetoric around the housing

5175
02:49:02,680 --> 02:49:05,680
crisis If not seven was

5176
02:49:05,505 --> 02:49:06,272
implemented citywide.

5177
02:49:06,272 --> 02:49:07,600
Yes, this would be a housing

5178
02:49:07,600 --> 02:49:09,406
crisis conversation but because

5179
02:49:09,709 --> 02:49:10,410
it only affected one

5180
02:49:10,410 --> 02:49:10,977
neighborhood it is no longer a

5181
02:49:10,977 --> 02:49:12,977
housing conversation.

5182
02:49:14,681 --> 02:49:15,448
Our community plan in 2015 had

5183
02:49:15,448 --> 02:49:17,848
increased density by 39% not

5184
02:49:19,986 --> 02:49:20,853
including four No.

5185
02:49:20,853 --> 02:49:21,421
Seven and the bonus to use We

5186
02:49:21,421 --> 02:49:23,421
already have allocated

5187
02:49:24,757 --> 02:49:25,458
the space to increase our

5188
02:49:25,458 --> 02:49:25,925
density that still honors our

5189
02:49:25,925 --> 02:49:27,925
community plan.

5190
02:49:29,495 --> 02:49:30,195
We have increased density in

5191
02:49:30,195 --> 02:49:33,195
one of the most affordable

5192
02:49:33,800 --> 02:49:34,467
areas in San Diego by 39%.

5193
02:49:34,467 --> 02:49:36,867
Therefore we are creating

5194
02:49:38,538 --> 02:49:39,239
homeownership opportunities

5195
02:49:39,239 --> 02:49:41,639
based on our 2015 plan.

5196
02:49:43,743 --> 02:49:44,410
We are not against housing

5197
02:49:44,410 --> 02:49:44,744
again, we are not against

5198
02:49:44,744 --> 02:49:46,744
housing.

5199
02:49:49,349 --> 02:49:49,682
These laws have been zoned for

5200
02:49:49,682 --> 02:49:50,383
housing.

5201
02:49:50,383 --> 02:49:51,830
We welcome housing that is in

5202
02:49:51,830 --> 02:49:53,483
accordance with our community

5203
02:49:54,153 --> 02:49:54,821
and general plan and requires

5204
02:49:54,821 --> 02:49:57,821
developers to apply the same

5205
02:49:58,791 --> 02:49:59,492
zoning laws in place for

5206
02:49:59,492 --> 02:49:59,792
the rest of the city of San

5207
02:49:59,792 --> 02:50:00,560
Diego.

5208
02:50:00,560 --> 02:50:03,129
A housing crisis is being

5209
02:50:03,129 --> 02:50:03,763
weaponized to destroy our

5210
02:50:03,763 --> 02:50:04,230
community and violate our

5211
02:50:04,230 --> 02:50:06,230
community plan.

5212
02:50:08,434 --> 02:50:09,350
There's a process in place for

5213
02:50:09,350 --> 02:50:09,569
a reason by weaponizing

5214
02:50:09,569 --> 02:50:11,569
the housing crisis.

5215
02:50:13,730 --> 02:50:13,773
You are violating the process

5216
02:50:13,773 --> 02:50:16,773
that ensures there is equity,

5217
02:50:18,144 --> 02:50:18,812
justice and fair treatment.

5218
02:50:18,812 --> 02:50:19,211
The staff report on JANUARY

5219
02:50:19,211 --> 02:50:21,211
10th stated.

5220
02:50:21,381 --> 02:50:21,981
Footnote seven is not illegal.

5221
02:50:21,981 --> 02:50:22,449
It's not racist, not

5222
02:50:22,449 --> 02:50:23,490
discriminatory.

5223
02:50:23,490 --> 02:50:26,490
It does not violate fair

5224
02:50:26,186 --> 02:50:26,853
housing in fact it

5225
02:50:26,853 --> 02:50:27,187
affirmatively furthers fair

5226
02:50:27,187 --> 02:50:29,187
housing.

5227
02:50:29,923 --> 02:50:30,256
So why are we getting rid of it

5228
02:50:30,256 --> 02:50:32,256
?

5229
02:50:34,961 --> 02:50:35,628
>> >> The city attorney's memo

5230
02:50:35,628 --> 02:50:36,329
On JANUARY 22nd our newly

5231
02:50:36,329 --> 02:50:38,729
elected city attorney Heather

5232
02:50:40,400 --> 02:50:41,340
Ferber states that without full

5233
02:50:41,340 --> 02:50:41,668
analysis of the impacts of

5234
02:50:41,668 --> 02:50:44,680
where higher density would

5235
02:50:45,538 --> 02:50:46,206
apply, it is unknown if

5236
02:50:46,206 --> 02:50:46,906
the application of footnote

5237
02:50:46,906 --> 02:50:49,306
seven citywide would conflict

5238
02:50:49,509 --> 02:50:52,509
with the city's climate action

5239
02:50:53,947 --> 02:50:54,614
plan by increasing that density

5240
02:50:54,614 --> 02:50:54,948
in areas without access to

5241
02:50:54,948 --> 02:50:55,782
transit.

5242
02:50:55,782 --> 02:50:59,382
It would also need to be

5243
02:50:59,386 --> 02:51:00,120
analyzed for consistency with

5244
02:51:00,120 --> 02:51:03,120
the general plan and applicable

5245
02:51:04,224 --> 02:51:04,958
community plans.

5246
02:51:04,958 --> 02:51:05,592
Application of Footnotes seven

5247
02:51:05,592 --> 02:51:07,992
Citywide would require an

5248
02:51:08,328 --> 02:51:09,128
amendment to the municipal Code

5249
02:51:09,128 --> 02:51:11,528
and would require secure

5250
02:51:13,466 --> 02:51:15,466
environment title review.

5251
02:51:18,371 --> 02:51:19,720
>> So in order for for this to

5252
02:51:19,720 --> 02:51:22,720
be applied citywide all these

5253
02:51:23,376 --> 02:51:24,760
things need to be considered.

5254
02:51:24,760 --> 02:51:24,778
Where these things considered

5255
02:51:24,778 --> 02:51:27,778
when they were implemented in

5256
02:51:28,248 --> 02:51:30,248
Encanto.

5257
02:51:32,786 --> 02:51:33,520
>> So why is it that this has

5258
02:51:33,520 --> 02:51:37,120
to be done applied citywide but

5259
02:51:37,691 --> 02:51:38,458
not in Encanto?

5260
02:51:38,458 --> 02:51:41,458
Footnote seven does not require

5261
02:51:42,629 --> 02:51:43,329
developers to do what air

5262
02:51:43,329 --> 02:51:44,300
because they are not rezoning

5263
02:51:44,300 --> 02:51:46,833
the land under footnote seven.

5264
02:51:46,833 --> 02:51:50,433
But the lots where we zoned

5265
02:51:51,271 --> 02:51:51,872
with footnote seven So why

5266
02:51:51,872 --> 02:51:54,272
didn't that trigger air?

5267
02:51:56,475 --> 02:51:57,244
Where's our air?

5268
02:51:57,244 --> 02:52:00,244
There's no air to support

5269
02:52:01,681 --> 02:52:02,149
the zoning change and there is

5270
02:52:02,149 --> 02:52:02,849
no due process.

5271
02:52:02,849 --> 02:52:03,550
But you are still going to

5272
02:52:03,550 --> 02:52:05,950
allow these projects to

5273
02:52:06,453 --> 02:52:07,421
continue.

5274
02:52:07,421 --> 02:52:10,421
>> Going back to the city

5275
02:52:12,580 --> 02:52:12,759
attorney's memo, if you look at

5276
02:52:12,759 --> 02:52:15,759
the document closely you will

5277
02:52:16,630 --> 02:52:17,396
see another footnote Footnote

5278
02:52:17,396 --> 02:52:20,396
to that footnote states other

5279
02:52:21,834 --> 02:52:23,834
community concerns raised

5280
02:52:25,539 --> 02:52:26,206
include process follow to amend

5281
02:52:26,206 --> 02:52:29,206
Table 131-04d2 add footnote

5282
02:52:30,476 --> 02:52:32,876
seven and effectively rezone

5283
02:52:33,680 --> 02:52:33,980
from rs one two to rs one

5284
02:52:33,980 --> 02:52:34,781
seven.

5285
02:52:34,781 --> 02:52:38,381
We just said that a sequel

5286
02:52:38,919 --> 02:52:39,620
would be required for rezoning

5287
02:52:39,620 --> 02:52:42,823
and you said here again that

5288
02:52:42,823 --> 02:52:45,223
those areas were rezone.

5289
02:52:47,427 --> 02:52:47,927
>> So again where is the air

5290
02:52:47,927 --> 02:52:48,795
possible conflict?

5291
02:52:48,795 --> 02:52:51,795
It continues to say possible

5292
02:52:52,232 --> 02:52:52,933
conflict with the Encanto

5293
02:52:52,933 --> 02:52:53,266
community plan regarding park

5294
02:52:53,266 --> 02:52:55,266
spaces.

5295
02:52:56,970 --> 02:52:57,570
Possible conflict with

5296
02:52:57,570 --> 02:52:58,271
the equity environmental

5297
02:52:58,271 --> 02:53:01,271
justice elements of the city's

5298
02:53:02,242 --> 02:53:02,542
general plan and and the best

5299
02:53:02,542 --> 02:53:04,542
part.

5300
02:53:07,281 --> 02:53:07,914
Violation of the California

5301
02:53:07,914 --> 02:53:08,248
Environmental Quality Act

5302
02:53:08,248 --> 02:53:10,248
sequel.

5303
02:53:12,519 --> 02:53:13,186
Again, where is the air?

5304
02:53:13,186 --> 02:53:16,186
Because right here she just

5305
02:53:17,570 --> 02:53:17,824
said it violates it.

5306
02:53:17,824 --> 02:53:20,824
Even though this footnote has

5307
02:53:22,362 --> 02:53:23,630
violated secure, you are still

5308
02:53:23,630 --> 02:53:26,630
going to allow these projects

5309
02:53:27,301 --> 02:53:28,680
to proceed If for No.

5310
02:53:28,680 --> 02:53:28,735
Seven violated sequel all these

5311
02:53:28,735 --> 02:53:31,135
projects also violate secure

5312
02:53:31,605 --> 02:53:32,306
these projects are the at

5313
02:53:32,306 --> 02:53:35,306
the very least should require

5314
02:53:36,543 --> 02:53:37,211
should be required to do a

5315
02:53:37,211 --> 02:53:37,878
sequel environmental review

5316
02:53:37,878 --> 02:53:40,878
because those lots have been

5317
02:53:41,415 --> 02:53:42,150
rezone and a sequel

5318
02:53:42,150 --> 02:53:42,382
environmental review is

5319
02:53:42,382 --> 02:53:44,382
required.

5320
02:53:45,452 --> 02:53:46,119
The last sentence of this

5321
02:53:46,119 --> 02:53:48,519
footnote states those issues

5322
02:53:50,230 --> 02:53:50,691
are not addressed in this

5323
02:53:50,691 --> 02:53:52,691
memorandum This memorandum.

5324
02:53:55,796 --> 02:53:56,429
So where's the memorandum where

5325
02:53:56,429 --> 02:53:57,164
they're addressed and why

5326
02:53:57,164 --> 02:54:00,164
hasn't that memo been provided

5327
02:54:02,336 --> 02:54:03,103
to the public?

5328
02:54:03,103 --> 02:54:03,804
>> There is a critical piece

5329
02:54:03,804 --> 02:54:06,804
that is missing from today's

5330
02:54:06,807 --> 02:54:07,508
conversation and that is to

5331
02:54:07,508 --> 02:54:08,208
stop any project that is using

5332
02:54:08,208 --> 02:54:10,608
footnote seven for approval

5333
02:54:11,812 --> 02:54:12,212
that have already submitted an

5334
02:54:12,212 --> 02:54:12,980
application.

5335
02:54:12,980 --> 02:54:16,580
I hope someone can make a

5336
02:54:16,850 --> 02:54:20,450
motion to add an amendment to

5337
02:54:21,488 --> 02:54:22,188
not allow any project to use

5338
02:54:22,188 --> 02:54:22,790
but No seven no matter where

5339
02:54:22,790 --> 02:54:25,325
they are in the process.

5340
02:54:25,325 --> 02:54:26,260
We keep bringing up legal

5341
02:54:26,260 --> 02:54:28,426
implications where the legal

5342
02:54:28,562 --> 02:54:30,562
implications considered when

5343
02:54:33,867 --> 02:54:34,568
Footnote seven was passed No

5344
02:54:34,568 --> 02:54:35,135
because y'all didn't think we

5345
02:54:35,135 --> 02:54:38,135
were going to find it.

5346
02:54:39,600 --> 02:54:42,606
Let alone sue you over it.

5347
02:54:43,610 --> 02:54:44,477
>> Either way you will pay.

5348
02:54:44,477 --> 02:54:45,346
You can have blood on your

5349
02:54:45,346 --> 02:54:48,649
hands or you can do the right

5350
02:54:48,649 --> 02:54:49,315
thing.

5351
02:54:49,315 --> 02:54:50,217
Doing the right thing is

5352
02:54:50,217 --> 02:54:53,320
defined as making a motion to

5353
02:54:53,320 --> 02:54:54,121
add an amendment to not allow

5354
02:54:54,121 --> 02:54:57,124
any projects to use for No.

5355
02:54:57,124 --> 02:54:57,591
Seven no matter where they are

5356
02:54:57,591 --> 02:54:59,591
in the process.

5357
02:55:02,229 --> 02:55:02,930
I want you all to also

5358
02:55:02,930 --> 02:55:03,631
understand the laws codes but

5359
02:55:03,631 --> 02:55:06,330
notes and projects you approve

5360
02:55:06,330 --> 02:55:06,734
are feeding into structural

5361
02:55:06,734 --> 02:55:07,100
racism whether you know it or

5362
02:55:07,100 --> 02:55:07,601
not.

5363
02:55:07,601 --> 02:55:09,601
Structural racism pushes

5364
02:55:10,971 --> 02:55:11,672
the agenda to destroy black

5365
02:55:11,672 --> 02:55:12,373
families and black communities

5366
02:55:12,373 --> 02:55:15,973
but No seven does does exactly

5367
02:55:16,143 --> 02:55:16,844
that taking away our park

5368
02:55:16,844 --> 02:55:17,478
space, taking away our native

5369
02:55:17,478 --> 02:55:19,478
grasslands, destroying our

5370
02:55:20,948 --> 02:55:21,649
natural habitats, furthering

5371
02:55:21,649 --> 02:55:24,490
polluting our air, destroying

5372
02:55:25,118 --> 02:55:25,586
our infrastructure that is

5373
02:55:25,586 --> 02:55:26,487
already broken.

5374
02:55:26,487 --> 02:55:29,990
And most of all it's creating a

5375
02:55:29,990 --> 02:55:30,658
safety hazard.

5376
02:55:30,658 --> 02:55:31,292
We know that our neighbor

5377
02:55:31,292 --> 02:55:33,292
neighborhoods suffer from

5378
02:55:35,129 --> 02:55:35,796
systemic racism that is

5379
02:55:35,796 --> 02:55:38,196
perpetrated by racist policy

5380
02:55:39,967 --> 02:55:40,734
and zoning.

5381
02:55:40,734 --> 02:55:41,435
Racism and racial inequality

5382
02:55:41,435 --> 02:55:44,435
will continue to perpetuate in

5383
02:55:45,506 --> 02:55:46,240
our communities if we do not

5384
02:55:46,240 --> 02:55:46,807
collectively commit to targeted

5385
02:55:46,807 --> 02:55:48,807
and consistent action.

5386
02:55:49,944 --> 02:55:50,611
Though our laws are much less

5387
02:55:50,611 --> 02:55:53,110
explicitly racist today our

5388
02:55:55,490 --> 02:55:55,649
public and private institutions

5389
02:55:55,649 --> 02:55:56,250
continue to discriminate

5390
02:55:56,250 --> 02:55:58,650
against people of color.

5391
02:55:58,819 --> 02:55:59,520
I know no one likes to be

5392
02:55:59,520 --> 02:56:03,570
called racists but we all have

5393
02:56:03,570 --> 02:56:03,791
a bias and sometimes our biases

5394
02:56:03,791 --> 02:56:04,725
are rooted in racist beliefs

5395
02:56:04,725 --> 02:56:08,395
and we MAY and we MAY not even

5396
02:56:08,395 --> 02:56:09,950
be aware of it.

5397
02:56:09,950 --> 02:56:09,830
Racism is perpetuated through

5398
02:56:09,830 --> 02:56:13,300
the people and until we address

5399
02:56:13,300 --> 02:56:13,667
our own biases the cycles

5400
02:56:13,667 --> 02:56:14,434
continue.

5401
02:56:14,434 --> 02:56:18,506
i am convinced that there is a

5402
02:56:18,506 --> 02:56:19,173
greater agenda to destroy and

5403
02:56:19,173 --> 02:56:22,173
oppress people of color and

5404
02:56:23,144 --> 02:56:23,677
addressing structural racism is

5405
02:56:23,677 --> 02:56:24,311
no one's priority.

5406
02:56:24,311 --> 02:56:26,711
We have been dehumanized.

5407
02:56:28,182 --> 02:56:29,500
You do not see us.

5408
02:56:29,500 --> 02:56:29,750
>> You do not hear us.

5409
02:56:29,750 --> 02:56:32,750
Our community is under attack

5410
02:56:33,421 --> 02:56:34,880
from the mayor's office, from

5411
02:56:34,880 --> 02:56:36,488
dsd, the planning department

5412
02:56:38,325 --> 02:56:38,659
and our own city council member

5413
02:56:38,659 --> 02:56:39,360
.

5414
02:56:39,360 --> 02:56:42,360
You cannot ignore what's going

5415
02:56:43,197 --> 02:56:43,898
on in other districts because

5416
02:56:43,898 --> 02:56:44,565
it's not your district or

5417
02:56:44,565 --> 02:56:45,266
because it doesn't primarily

5418
02:56:45,266 --> 02:56:47,735
affect you and your community.

5419
02:56:47,735 --> 02:56:48,135
You are all in positions of

5420
02:56:48,135 --> 02:56:48,736
leadership.

5421
02:56:48,736 --> 02:56:49,403
It is your duty to serve

5422
02:56:49,403 --> 02:56:53,300
the people and look out for

5423
02:56:55,343 --> 02:56:57,343
their best interests.

5424
02:56:59,947 --> 02:57:00,715
This is a monumental moment one

5425
02:57:00,715 --> 02:57:01,248
that will be document added as

5426
02:57:01,248 --> 02:57:03,648
part of our history.

5427
02:57:04,518 --> 02:57:04,952
How will you how will your vote

5428
02:57:04,952 --> 02:57:06,952
be documented?

5429
02:57:09,256 --> 02:57:09,556
How will your vote be perceived

5430
02:57:09,556 --> 02:57:10,424
?

5431
02:57:10,424 --> 02:57:10,925
I encourage all of you to visit

5432
02:57:10,925 --> 02:57:12,925
our neighborhood.

5433
02:57:13,461 --> 02:57:13,761
Any one of us will give you a

5434
02:57:13,761 --> 02:57:14,628
tour.

5435
02:57:14,628 --> 02:57:17,965
If you can see the devastation

5436
02:57:17,965 --> 02:57:18,733
that is occurring with your own

5437
02:57:18,733 --> 02:57:22,333
eyes, you cannot deny what we

5438
02:57:22,435 --> 02:57:24,435
are saying.

5439
02:57:26,474 --> 02:57:26,774
I leave you with this question

5440
02:57:26,774 --> 02:57:27,541
.

5441
02:57:27,541 --> 02:57:30,541
>> Would you allow this to

5442
02:57:31,512 --> 02:57:33,912
happen in your district?

5443
02:57:36,416 --> 02:57:37,384
>> If the answer is no, I ask

5444
02:57:37,384 --> 02:57:38,151
you to make a motion to add an

5445
02:57:38,151 --> 02:57:41,151
amendment to not allow any

5446
02:57:42,560 --> 02:57:42,723
projects to use footnote seven

5447
02:57:42,723 --> 02:57:43,124
no matter where they are in

5448
02:57:43,124 --> 02:57:45,124
the process.

5449
02:57:46,327 --> 02:57:47,228
I know that you MAY not want to

5450
02:57:47,228 --> 02:57:51,990
step on Henri's toes but if he

5451
02:57:51,990 --> 02:57:52,660
doesn't make this motion I ask

5452
02:57:52,660 --> 02:57:54,802
one of you to stand up for

5453
02:57:54,802 --> 02:57:55,570
justice.

5454
02:57:55,570 --> 02:57:57,570
>> Equal protection and

5455
02:57:59,841 --> 02:58:01,841
fairness.

5456
02:58:05,790 --> 02:58:05,846
>> Next is Evelyn Smith.

5457
02:58:05,846 --> 02:58:08,846
>> Evelyn Smith You have time

5458
02:58:09,916 --> 02:58:10,585
ceded to you by Katie.

5459
02:58:10,585 --> 02:58:10,851
>> My name was Paul.

5460
02:58:10,851 --> 02:58:11,518
Yes.

5461
02:58:11,518 --> 02:58:14,255
You'll be combing your body.

5462
02:58:14,255 --> 02:58:15,560
Tenses are after Evelyn Smith

5463
02:58:15,560 --> 02:58:19,256
since there's a lot of them I'm

5464
02:58:19,660 --> 02:58:20,127
calling them all at once.

5465
02:58:20,127 --> 02:58:20,928
Please proceed.

5466
02:58:20,928 --> 02:58:23,564
Up to now Council PRESIDENT And

5467
02:58:23,564 --> 02:58:24,165
council member Henry Foster.

5468
02:58:24,165 --> 02:58:26,565
I am Evelyn Smith.

5469
02:58:28,469 --> 02:58:31,339
I live in Emery Hills which I

5470
02:58:31,339 --> 02:58:32,106
have lived there for 51 years

5471
02:58:32,106 --> 02:58:36,177
the entire time that I lived in

5472
02:58:36,177 --> 02:58:36,944
San Diego.

5473
02:58:36,944 --> 02:58:37,545
I have been involved with

5474
02:58:37,545 --> 02:58:39,545
the neighborhood council

5475
02:58:41,715 --> 02:58:45,118
the entire time and I have been

5476
02:58:45,118 --> 02:58:47,518
the council chair since 2015.

5477
02:58:50,458 --> 02:58:51,191
I currently reside on at least

5478
02:58:51,191 --> 02:58:54,595
ten boards and commissions so I

5479
02:58:54,595 --> 02:58:58,195
know the need of a community.

5480
02:58:58,599 --> 02:58:58,966
Yes we need houses but we don't

5481
02:58:58,966 --> 02:59:00,966
want 123.

5482
02:59:03,438 --> 02:59:07,380
I want community is a different

5483
02:59:08,142 --> 02:59:08,576
world from any other district

5484
02:59:08,576 --> 02:59:10,576
in the city.

5485
02:59:12,880 --> 02:59:15,880
You know our stormwater system

5486
02:59:17,517 --> 02:59:18,286
is in bad condition.

5487
02:59:18,286 --> 02:59:18,953
The mayor has told us there's

5488
02:59:18,953 --> 02:59:21,953
no funds to upgrade it.

5489
02:59:23,391 --> 02:59:27,462
Park has not had a darn thing

5490
02:59:27,462 --> 02:59:27,795
done to see if it was built in

5491
02:59:27,795 --> 02:59:29,795
the 60s.

5492
02:59:31,533 --> 02:59:32,500
We are living in a shambles and

5493
02:59:32,500 --> 02:59:36,700
to put that many homes and our

5494
02:59:37,370 --> 02:59:40,370
community they are not doing

5495
02:59:41,642 --> 02:59:42,509
anything about the traffic.

5496
02:59:42,509 --> 02:59:42,910
The school has put a cap on

5497
02:59:42,910 --> 02:59:44,910
enrollment.

5498
02:59:47,615 --> 02:59:50,818
So where it is chosen is gone.

5499
02:59:50,818 --> 02:59:51,386
There is no busses provided by

5500
02:59:51,386 --> 02:59:53,386
city schools anymore.

5501
02:59:55,924 --> 02:59:56,561
So before you vote to keep

5502
02:59:56,561 --> 02:59:59,561
footnote seven and to let

5503
03:00:00,328 --> 03:00:01,295
the developer go ahead with

5504
03:00:01,295 --> 03:00:04,895
that many homes think about a

5505
03:00:06,467 --> 03:00:07,268
movie the spot Buckley made

5506
03:00:07,268 --> 03:00:10,868
some years ago Do the right

5507
03:00:11,238 --> 03:00:14,838
thing for the people at Encanto

5508
03:00:16,440 --> 03:00:16,611
and do the right thing for all

5509
03:00:16,611 --> 03:00:19,611
of the people that you

5510
03:00:21,716 --> 03:00:22,830
represent not just one

5511
03:00:22,830 --> 03:00:22,617
community.

5512
03:00:22,617 --> 03:00:25,170
>> And I thank you.

5513
03:00:25,920 --> 03:00:26,788
Next desperate to have you and

5514
03:00:26,788 --> 03:00:27,321
Cesar Javier, if you can please

5515
03:00:27,321 --> 03:00:28,155
come up to the mic.

5516
03:00:28,155 --> 03:00:30,580
You'll have one minute each and

5517
03:00:30,580 --> 03:00:30,692
then if I can have

5518
03:00:30,692 --> 03:00:31,358
the following individuals

5519
03:00:31,358 --> 03:00:31,826
please come up to the yellow

5520
03:00:31,826 --> 03:00:33,826
reserved seats.

5521
03:00:35,329 --> 03:00:35,764
Becca Batiste.

5522
03:00:35,764 --> 03:00:37,764
Tiago Batiste.

5523
03:00:39,501 --> 03:00:39,901
Marge Orgel, Janine Salas and

5524
03:00:39,901 --> 03:00:40,602
then Kenny.

5525
03:00:40,602 --> 03:00:43,602
My apologies if I mispronounce

5526
03:00:49,711 --> 03:00:50,178
any names but it's all right.

5527
03:00:50,178 --> 03:00:52,178
Okay.

5528
03:00:53,214 --> 03:00:55,214
One minute.

5529
03:00:57,819 --> 03:01:01,419
I am privileged to have your

5530
03:01:02,724 --> 03:01:03,157
victim of toxicity West Bank

5531
03:01:03,157 --> 03:01:03,992
Choice Creek.

5532
03:01:03,992 --> 03:01:06,992
We are in opposition of

5533
03:01:07,963 --> 03:01:08,897
planning Department proposal.

5534
03:01:08,897 --> 03:01:11,897
We are requesting that City

5535
03:01:12,320 --> 03:01:14,432
Council modify the proposal

5536
03:01:17,138 --> 03:01:20,138
from the planning Department to

5537
03:01:21,943 --> 03:01:22,911
halt and deny any all projects

5538
03:01:22,911 --> 03:01:26,511
that have ever relied upon foot

5539
03:01:27,148 --> 03:01:29,148
not.

5540
03:01:32,120 --> 03:01:32,821
Please step down and be a brave

5541
03:01:32,821 --> 03:01:35,821
and free American someone who

5542
03:01:36,424 --> 03:01:39,424
really is fit to govern.

5543
03:01:41,596 --> 03:01:44,596
MR. Mayor or our CHAIRMAN

5544
03:01:49,971 --> 03:01:52,371
Environmental and free city

5545
03:01:55,143 --> 03:01:57,143
Council Council.

5546
03:02:00,515 --> 03:02:01,216
>> I am a witness since I was a

5547
03:02:01,216 --> 03:02:03,616
substitute teacher at Encanto

5548
03:02:05,553 --> 03:02:06,154
Elementary School I was

5549
03:02:06,154 --> 03:02:08,554
unmindful because I was

5550
03:02:10,292 --> 03:02:10,958
focusing on economics.

5551
03:02:10,958 --> 03:02:13,958
Work, work, work and earn.

5552
03:02:15,463 --> 03:02:16,364
Now I realize that from then on

5553
03:02:16,364 --> 03:02:19,964
I was so curious how governance

5554
03:02:20,135 --> 03:02:23,735
works and when my one year

5555
03:02:24,839 --> 03:02:26,839
attendance classmate Council

5556
03:02:30,450 --> 03:02:32,445
Rivera classmate Council or

5557
03:02:33,715 --> 03:02:34,516
Lacob usher at the San Diego

5558
03:02:34,516 --> 03:02:37,516
350 we had a seminar there.

5559
03:02:38,286 --> 03:02:39,200
You handed the appreciation to

5560
03:02:39,200 --> 03:02:41,420
the bicyclist and environmental

5561
03:02:42,858 --> 03:02:43,592
advocate Clean Air.

5562
03:02:43,592 --> 03:02:43,925
The issue is a leadership

5563
03:02:43,925 --> 03:02:45,925
failure.

5564
03:02:47,796 --> 03:02:48,597
MAY we request our respectfully

5565
03:02:48,597 --> 03:02:52,167
to step down because we are

5566
03:02:52,167 --> 03:02:52,867
ready, brave and free

5567
03:02:52,867 --> 03:02:54,867
knowledgeable, sober solving

5568
03:02:58,239 --> 03:02:58,807
problem moguls.

5569
03:02:58,807 --> 03:02:59,507
>> Please step down.

5570
03:02:59,507 --> 03:03:02,507
Thank you for that comment,

5571
03:03:04,478 --> 03:03:05,130
Becca Battista.

5572
03:03:05,130 --> 03:03:07,130
>> Good afternoon.

5573
03:03:09,584 --> 03:03:10,185
Council.

5574
03:03:10,185 --> 03:03:11,119
I'm Becca Battista.

5575
03:03:11,119 --> 03:03:14,560
I am opposed to the overturn a

5576
03:03:14,560 --> 03:03:14,723
footnote seven as it stands and

5577
03:03:14,723 --> 03:03:15,423
I'm requesting that the City

5578
03:03:15,423 --> 03:03:18,423
Council modify the proposal to

5579
03:03:18,860 --> 03:03:19,561
halt and deny any and all

5580
03:03:19,561 --> 03:03:19,861
projects that have ever relied

5581
03:03:19,861 --> 03:03:20,329
upon.

5582
03:03:20,329 --> 03:03:22,329
Footnote seven.

5583
03:03:23,899 --> 03:03:24,566
Our community of Encanto has

5584
03:03:24,566 --> 03:03:25,199
been blatantly targeted with

5585
03:03:25,199 --> 03:03:27,199
unfair building practices

5586
03:03:28,603 --> 03:03:29,304
allowing developers

5587
03:03:29,304 --> 03:03:30,500
the opportunity to build these

5588
03:03:30,500 --> 03:03:30,772
large scale projects without a

5589
03:03:30,772 --> 03:03:33,976
single dime Going back to our

5590
03:03:33,976 --> 03:03:34,609
community or allowing us

5591
03:03:34,609 --> 03:03:35,277
the decency to review this

5592
03:03:35,277 --> 03:03:37,677
massive density increase and

5593
03:03:38,213 --> 03:03:38,747
complete 180 degree change from

5594
03:03:38,747 --> 03:03:40,747
our community plan.

5595
03:03:43,170 --> 03:03:43,685
How is it that our city is

5596
03:03:43,685 --> 03:03:44,190
giant with our city's giant

5597
03:03:44,190 --> 03:03:44,753
deficit?

5598
03:03:44,753 --> 03:03:47,723
You are allowing these projects

5599
03:03:47,723 --> 03:03:48,390
to be shouldered by a community

5600
03:03:48,390 --> 03:03:49,240
with such limited resources

5601
03:03:49,240 --> 03:03:51,240
allowing shoddy apartment

5602
03:03:52,694 --> 03:03:53,395
complexes to be approved

5603
03:03:53,395 --> 03:03:54,620
without proper impact fees and

5604
03:03:54,620 --> 03:03:54,496
environmental studies It is

5605
03:03:54,496 --> 03:03:56,496
deeply wrong.

5606
03:03:57,533 --> 03:03:58,199
Is your plan to just dump these

5607
03:03:58,199 --> 03:03:58,867
projects on the shoulders of

5608
03:03:58,867 --> 03:04:02,104
Encanto and just leave us to

5609
03:04:02,104 --> 03:04:02,837
figure it out after the fact?

5610
03:04:02,837 --> 03:04:03,372
The only explanation for this

5611
03:04:03,372 --> 03:04:06,372
is that there is a

5612
03:04:06,875 --> 03:04:07,409
collaboration between the city

5613
03:04:07,409 --> 03:04:08,244
and the developers.

5614
03:04:08,244 --> 03:04:09,211
We promise you that we will not

5615
03:04:09,211 --> 03:04:12,714
sit quietly as we have done all

5616
03:04:12,714 --> 03:04:13,381
these years.

5617
03:04:13,381 --> 03:04:13,915
>> Thank you for that

5618
03:04:13,915 --> 03:04:15,915
concluding comment.

5619
03:04:21,290 --> 03:04:22,424
Tiago, what is the.

5620
03:04:22,424 --> 03:04:26,561
I urge each of you to stop by

5621
03:04:26,561 --> 03:04:27,194
my house, my neighborhood, Your

5622
03:04:27,194 --> 03:04:29,194
neighborhood, MR. Foster.

5623
03:04:31,433 --> 03:04:32,201
This is your people right here.

5624
03:04:32,201 --> 03:04:33,680
We need your right now.

5625
03:04:33,680 --> 03:04:35,537
We're not We are not getting

5626
03:04:35,537 --> 03:04:36,471
heard by you and I.

5627
03:04:36,471 --> 03:04:40,609
Please, I urge you guys to walk

5628
03:04:40,609 --> 03:04:41,443
with us around our neighborhood

5629
03:04:41,443 --> 03:04:45,430
choosing a block worth of a

5630
03:04:45,314 --> 03:04:46,148
lots.

5631
03:04:46,148 --> 03:04:49,148
How the city is allowing

5632
03:04:50,418 --> 03:04:50,853
developers to destroy our

5633
03:04:50,853 --> 03:04:52,853
neighborhood.

5634
03:04:55,457 --> 03:04:56,125
I cannot think about any other

5635
03:04:56,125 --> 03:04:56,458
thing but one more time, MR.

5636
03:04:56,458 --> 03:04:58,458
Foster.

5637
03:04:59,261 --> 03:05:00,128
We do need you.

5638
03:05:00,128 --> 03:05:03,728
My doors are open for you.

5639
03:05:04,466 --> 03:05:05,134
I can have a coffee with you.

5640
03:05:05,134 --> 03:05:08,134
We can go around this

5641
03:05:09,204 --> 03:05:10,500
neighborhood and I challenge

5642
03:05:10,500 --> 03:05:14,205
you to walk to the trolley from

5643
03:05:15,344 --> 03:05:15,978
any of those properties.

5644
03:05:15,978 --> 03:05:17,978
Thank you, Marge.

5645
03:05:20,349 --> 03:05:21,160
Good.

5646
03:05:21,160 --> 03:05:21,350
>> Good afternoon, council

5647
03:05:21,350 --> 03:05:23,350
members.

5648
03:05:25,953 --> 03:05:26,488
I'm Marge Wargo, a happy

5649
03:05:26,488 --> 03:05:28,488
resident in Encanto.

5650
03:05:30,250 --> 03:05:33,250
For 40 years And I'm grateful

5651
03:05:34,563 --> 03:05:35,264
that it looks like footnote

5652
03:05:35,264 --> 03:05:38,864
seven is going to be removed.

5653
03:05:39,768 --> 03:05:40,636
But I want to ask you to please

5654
03:05:40,636 --> 03:05:44,236
amend that to be able to

5655
03:05:45,174 --> 03:05:45,873
prevent the Klauber project and

5656
03:05:45,873 --> 03:05:46,342
the Emerald Hills project from

5657
03:05:46,342 --> 03:05:48,342
moving forward.

5658
03:05:49,945 --> 03:05:50,579
We do not have

5659
03:05:50,579 --> 03:05:52,979
the infrastructure in our

5660
03:05:54,683 --> 03:05:55,384
community to be able to

5661
03:05:55,384 --> 03:05:55,885
increase the density as those

5662
03:05:55,885 --> 03:05:57,885
projects would do.

5663
03:06:00,155 --> 03:06:00,722
We don't have the road space.

5664
03:06:00,722 --> 03:06:03,722
The roads are a mess.

5665
03:06:03,993 --> 03:06:04,660
We don't have fire exits

5666
03:06:04,660 --> 03:06:04,994
adequate to large numbers of

5667
03:06:04,994 --> 03:06:06,994
people.

5668
03:06:08,864 --> 03:06:09,565
We're seeing what happens when

5669
03:06:09,565 --> 03:06:09,898
neighborhoods can't get out of

5670
03:06:09,898 --> 03:06:11,898
an area.

5671
03:06:14,200 --> 03:06:17,200
Please amend the staff report

5672
03:06:19,800 --> 03:06:22,800
and eliminate the permits for

5673
03:06:24,130 --> 03:06:24,313
the Klauber project and Emerald

5674
03:06:24,313 --> 03:06:24,914
Hills.

5675
03:06:24,914 --> 03:06:25,447
>> Thank you for that

5676
03:06:25,447 --> 03:06:27,447
concluding comment.

5677
03:06:27,950 --> 03:06:28,851
Jeanine Salas.

5678
03:06:28,851 --> 03:06:29,652
After that will be kind of key

5679
03:06:29,652 --> 03:06:33,154
and then after that if I can

5680
03:06:33,154 --> 03:06:33,856
have Andrea through Amelia

5681
03:06:33,856 --> 03:06:35,825
Meany, Susan Baldwin and Hazel

5682
03:06:35,825 --> 03:06:36,292
Higgins come up to those yellow

5683
03:06:36,292 --> 03:06:38,292
reserved seats.

5684
03:06:41,300 --> 03:06:41,730
>> Please proceed Along

5685
03:06:41,730 --> 03:06:44,730
the term these homes, these

5686
03:06:45,968 --> 03:06:46,602
single family homes, these

5687
03:06:46,602 --> 03:06:47,269
homes that they're talking

5688
03:06:47,269 --> 03:06:49,669
about are massive apartment

5689
03:06:51,140 --> 03:06:51,440
complexes proposing to be about

5690
03:06:51,440 --> 03:06:53,440
500ft.

5691
03:06:55,211 --> 03:06:55,811
What kind of family can live in

5692
03:06:55,811 --> 03:06:58,211
a 500 square foot home?

5693
03:06:59,849 --> 03:07:00,549
I think what this footnote is

5694
03:07:00,549 --> 03:07:01,217
doing is setting a very

5695
03:07:01,217 --> 03:07:03,617
dangerous precedent for our

5696
03:07:05,200 --> 03:07:05,788
city, allowing special interest

5697
03:07:05,788 --> 03:07:08,788
groups and private investors to

5698
03:07:09,357 --> 03:07:10,250
exploit these backdoor tactics

5699
03:07:10,250 --> 03:07:12,425
and negotiations without any

5700
03:07:14,290 --> 03:07:14,597
kind of transparency,

5701
03:07:14,597 --> 03:07:14,964
accountability or due

5702
03:07:14,964 --> 03:07:16,964
diligence.

5703
03:07:19,201 --> 03:07:19,935
These proposed developments are

5704
03:07:19,935 --> 03:07:20,603
also exploiting these loopholes

5705
03:07:20,603 --> 03:07:23,603
that will bypass paying any

5706
03:07:24,439 --> 03:07:25,307
development impact fees.

5707
03:07:25,307 --> 03:07:25,908
Why would we do that when we're

5708
03:07:25,908 --> 03:07:28,308
in such a deficit?

5709
03:07:29,711 --> 03:07:30,413
I don't understand it.

5710
03:07:30,413 --> 03:07:31,800
That's the question we should

5711
03:07:31,800 --> 03:07:34,350
be asking is why wouldn't we

5712
03:07:34,350 --> 03:07:35,840
tax them?

5713
03:07:35,840 --> 03:07:35,751
Why wouldn't we take money from

5714
03:07:35,751 --> 03:07:38,751
investors that are going to

5715
03:07:39,288 --> 03:07:40,890
make so much money?

5716
03:07:40,890 --> 03:07:42,890
The Environmental Impact

5717
03:07:43,759 --> 03:07:44,427
reporters from 2015 Thank you

5718
03:07:44,427 --> 03:07:46,827

5719
03:07:47,830 --> 03:07:48,596
>> Next is Canning Keith.

5720
03:07:48,596 --> 03:07:49,298
Can you have time seated if

5721
03:07:49,298 --> 03:07:49,899
the following individuals can

5722
03:07:49,899 --> 03:07:51,500
please raise their hand?

5723

5729

As you know, our Alex.

5730
03:08:14,257 --> 03:08:14,557
Oh, right there.

5731
03:08:14,557 --> 03:08:14,924
Okay.

5732
03:08:14,924 --> 03:08:15,557
Thank you.

5733
03:08:15,557 --> 03:08:16,270
You'll have seven minutes.

5734
03:08:16,270 --> 03:08:18,270
Please proceed.

5735
03:08:18,828 --> 03:08:19,228
Hello.

5736
03:08:19,228 --> 03:08:19,995
Hi.

5737
03:08:19,995 --> 03:08:23,466
My name is Kenny Key in

5738
03:08:23,466 --> 03:08:24,267
opposition of the current

5739
03:08:24,267 --> 03:08:27,770
reversal with As it stands you

5740
03:08:27,770 --> 03:08:28,437
need to remove that footnote

5741
03:08:28,437 --> 03:08:31,437
seven as well as stop

5742
03:08:32,975 --> 03:08:33,276
the projects and I love my

5743
03:08:33,276 --> 03:08:34,100
city.

5744
03:08:34,100 --> 03:08:37,610
You know I love my community.

5745
03:08:37,814 --> 03:08:38,447
It's a beautiful community and

5746
03:08:38,447 --> 03:08:38,848
I'm representing a lot of

5747
03:08:38,848 --> 03:08:39,415
people here.

5748
03:08:39,415 --> 03:08:42,415
I can't make it today.

5749
03:08:42,618 --> 03:08:43,353
Senior citizens from our

5750
03:08:43,353 --> 03:08:43,753
neighborhood I got an Air Force

5751
03:08:43,753 --> 03:08:45,753
background.

5752
03:08:47,256 --> 03:08:47,957
I work for the county of San

5753
03:08:47,957 --> 03:08:48,724
Diego five and a half years.

5754
03:08:48,724 --> 03:08:52,324
I've got thousands of hours of

5755
03:08:52,428 --> 03:08:53,290
flying in traffic and working

5756
03:08:53,290 --> 03:08:53,795
on repair and wrote for

5757
03:08:53,795 --> 03:08:57,399
the county of San Diego to plow

5758
03:08:57,399 --> 03:09:00,999
snow up in Julian Campo Alpine

5759
03:09:01,170 --> 03:09:01,871
Spring Valley Road Station work

5760
03:09:01,871 --> 03:09:02,538
18 months on a striping crew.

5761
03:09:02,538 --> 03:09:05,274
I'm probably one of the most

5762
03:09:05,274 --> 03:09:05,974
qualified people in this room I

5763
03:09:05,974 --> 03:09:06,475
know to speak on traffic and

5764
03:09:06,475 --> 03:09:06,776
repair the roads.

5765
03:09:06,776 --> 03:09:08,776
Okay.

5766
03:09:10,813 --> 03:09:11,314
If you haven't done a job you

5767
03:09:11,314 --> 03:09:12,147
can't speak on it.

5768
03:09:12,147 --> 03:09:15,147
We need more people and

5769
03:09:15,184 --> 03:09:15,685
understand the damage that's

5770
03:09:15,685 --> 03:09:15,985
caused by traffic.

5771
03:09:15,985 --> 03:09:16,352
Okay.

5772
03:09:16,352 --> 03:09:16,918
On roads.

5773
03:09:16,918 --> 03:09:18,918
Okay.

5774
03:09:22,557 --> 03:09:25,895
So I want to speak to the fact

5775
03:09:25,895 --> 03:09:28,895
that you guys are casting

5776
03:09:31,670 --> 03:09:31,768
projects and and ideas that are

5777
03:09:31,768 --> 03:09:32,501
just that They're just ideas.

5778
03:09:32,501 --> 03:09:35,501
They're not proven, they're not

5779
03:09:36,205 --> 03:09:36,873
based on data or you know, any

5780
03:09:36,873 --> 03:09:39,873
kind of input that matters.

5781
03:09:40,576 --> 03:09:41,277
You know, it's just based on

5782
03:09:41,277 --> 03:09:41,944
you know, we're going to okay

5783
03:09:41,944 --> 03:09:42,245
build let's do it like this.

5784
03:09:42,245 --> 03:09:44,245
Okay?

5785
03:09:45,281 --> 03:09:46,820
And that is not best practices

5786
03:09:46,820 --> 03:09:50,219
We didn't elect you guys to get

5787
03:09:50,219 --> 03:09:50,953
up here and demand best

5788
03:09:50,953 --> 03:09:54,553
practices out of your staff and

5789
03:09:55,458 --> 03:09:56,590
your employees of the city But

5790
03:09:56,590 --> 03:09:59,590
you guys you don't hold

5791
03:09:59,429 --> 03:10:00,229
yourself to the same standards

5792
03:10:00,229 --> 03:10:00,997
when it comes to items that

5793
03:10:00,997 --> 03:10:04,597
crossed your desk on this vote

5794
03:10:04,701 --> 03:10:05,468
that require your vote.

5795
03:10:05,468 --> 03:10:06,135
You're going to you're going to

5796
03:10:06,135 --> 03:10:09,372
brush off the data that you

5797
03:10:09,372 --> 03:10:10,600
need to make educated decisions

5798
03:10:10,600 --> 03:10:10,473
on these projects that are

5799
03:10:10,473 --> 03:10:12,473
coming your way.

5800
03:10:14,143 --> 03:10:14,544
You go brush aside that

5801
03:10:14,544 --> 03:10:15,211
information.

5802
03:10:15,211 --> 03:10:18,811
I would say that's almost as

5803
03:10:21,451 --> 03:10:21,751
true in violation of your oath

5804
03:10:21,751 --> 03:10:22,151
.

5805
03:10:22,151 --> 03:10:22,918
>> Okay.

5806
03:10:22,918 --> 03:10:25,918
The last I checked people

5807
03:10:26,322 --> 03:10:28,322
developers don't vote.

5808
03:10:30,359 --> 03:10:30,994
They MAY give you some money

5809
03:10:30,994 --> 03:10:31,694
but that don't shouldn't

5810
03:10:31,694 --> 03:10:34,940
influence your decision making

5811
03:10:35,998 --> 03:10:39,598
up here to voting is necessary

5812
03:10:40,537 --> 03:10:43,537
But you're moral ethics and

5813
03:10:44,507 --> 03:10:45,374
integrity is what we want to We

5814
03:10:45,374 --> 03:10:45,908
put you up there today We need

5815
03:10:45,908 --> 03:10:47,908
champion leadership.

5816
03:10:49,546 --> 03:10:50,460
I remember George Stevens GOD

5817
03:10:50,460 --> 03:10:50,613
rest his soul.

5818
03:10:50,613 --> 03:10:53,130
He was our champion.

5819
03:10:54,951 --> 03:10:55,652
He said to Standards District

5820
03:10:55,652 --> 03:10:58,652
board He probably rolling over

5821
03:10:59,689 --> 03:11:00,423
right now with

5822
03:11:00,423 --> 03:11:03,423
the representation that we get.

5823
03:11:05,662 --> 03:11:08,698
Yeah I said it because I love

5824
03:11:08,698 --> 03:11:09,566
him on hills I love and care to

5825
03:11:09,566 --> 03:11:13,166
Right now we can We're trying

5826
03:11:14,203 --> 03:11:14,871
to take a video in a community

5827
03:11:14,871 --> 03:11:18,471
that can rewind the tape and

5828
03:11:18,575 --> 03:11:19,342
you guys as reset speeches

5829
03:11:19,342 --> 03:11:21,742
talking about Martin Luther

5830
03:11:23,146 --> 03:11:23,913
King and trying to align

5831
03:11:23,913 --> 03:11:26,913
yourself in your districts with

5832
03:11:28,251 --> 03:11:31,251
his values, his principles How

5833
03:11:33,155 --> 03:11:33,857
dare you come in here today and

5834
03:11:33,857 --> 03:11:36,857
defecate on his memory, his

5835
03:11:37,460 --> 03:11:40,460
legacy by allowing this project

5836
03:11:42,265 --> 03:11:43,330
to harm a black community?

5837
03:11:43,330 --> 03:11:43,733
>> Let's call it like let's

5838
03:11:43,733 --> 03:11:46,733
let's educate people Up until

5839
03:11:47,103 --> 03:11:47,671
late 60s in the hills had

5840
03:11:47,671 --> 03:11:48,338
redlining conditions.

5841
03:11:48,338 --> 03:11:51,400
We couldn't buy property up

5842
03:11:51,400 --> 03:11:52,800
there.

5843
03:11:52,800 --> 03:11:52,709
It used to be a golf course

5844
03:11:52,709 --> 03:11:55,709
Emerald Hill the churches was

5845
03:11:56,379 --> 03:11:57,247
the clubhouse okay We couldn't

5846
03:11:57,247 --> 03:12:00,847
even play up here Probably oc

5847
03:12:01,952 --> 03:12:02,619
is one of the more beautiful

5848
03:12:02,619 --> 03:12:05,619
locations in the city Don't

5849
03:12:05,956 --> 03:12:06,723
okay And you want to give it to

5850
03:12:06,723 --> 03:12:10,923
it to a developer at a state

5851
03:12:11,561 --> 03:12:12,295
developer who want to take dump

5852
03:12:12,295 --> 03:12:14,998
on our community with a shallow

5853
03:12:14,998 --> 03:12:15,966
vision for our community not a

5854
03:12:15,966 --> 03:12:18,966
shallow vision a 128 homes for

5855
03:12:20,403 --> 03:12:20,704
millionaires That's not what we

5856
03:12:20,704 --> 03:12:21,238
need.

5857
03:12:21,238 --> 03:12:23,238
>> We need sensible

5858
03:12:25,750 --> 03:12:25,842
comprehensive build and we

5859
03:12:25,842 --> 03:12:29,442
don't need edu edu's wood no

5860
03:12:30,113 --> 03:12:30,479
parking establishing a

5861
03:12:30,479 --> 03:12:31,181
community.

5862
03:12:31,181 --> 03:12:32,114
I bet you will do that.

5863
03:12:32,114 --> 03:12:34,851
You bet you wouldn't do that at

5864
03:12:34,851 --> 03:12:35,552
Torrey Pines Who a district

5865
03:12:35,552 --> 03:12:38,552
representative You need to get

5866
03:12:39,322 --> 03:12:39,689
on district board and making us

5867
03:12:39,689 --> 03:12:40,390

This is America's finest city

5869
03:12:44,461 --> 03:12:44,828
and right now it does not look

5870
03:12:44,828 --> 03:12:45,594
like debt.

5871
03:12:45,594 --> 03:12:48,565

5884
03:13:17,861 --> 03:13:18,528
You need to be protecting us

5885
03:13:18,528 --> 03:13:20,528
from aggressive developers.

5886
03:13:23,660 --> 03:13:23,967

5913
03:14:12,150 --> 03:14:15,152

Luther King and me.

5932
03:14:44,881 --> 03:14:47,684

I'm Andrea Head Hebrew.

5983
03:16:43,100 --> 03:16:43,834
I am first and foremost a

5984
03:16:43,834 --> 03:16:47,434
citizen of the United States of

5985
03:16:47,671 --> 03:16:48,272
America and by law a national

5986
03:16:48,272 --> 03:16:49,600
who owes my permanent

5987
03:16:49,600 --> 03:16:49,640
allegiance to the United States

5988
03:16:49,640 --> 03:16:52,640
of America which means its

5989
03:16:52,843 --> 03:16:53,611
Constitution.

5990
03:16:53,611 --> 03:16:54,211
I am the chair of Choice Valley

5991
03:16:54,211 --> 03:16:56,211
Community Planning Group

5992
03:16:58,182 --> 03:16:58,915
The following statement is

5993
03:16:58,915 --> 03:16:59,583
entered into the record Encanto

5994
03:16:59,583 --> 03:17:01,983
is used interchangeably with

5995
03:17:02,319 --> 03:17:03,200
Choice Valley in the statement

5996
03:17:03,200 --> 03:17:05,923
as the name change occurred a

5997
03:17:05,923 --> 03:17:06,557
short time after the publishing

5998
03:17:06,557 --> 03:17:07,258
of the 2015 Community Plan

5999
03:17:07,258 --> 03:17:10,258
The adoption of Footnote seven

6000
03:17:10,828 --> 03:17:11,495
which imposed selective zoning

6001
03:17:11,495 --> 03:17:12,229
in the Encanto neighborhoods

6002
03:17:12,229 --> 03:17:15,829
was a betrayal of our community

6003
03:17:15,932 --> 03:17:16,567
and a clear violation of due

6004
03:17:16,567 --> 03:17:17,200
process equal protection,

6005
03:17:17,200 --> 03:17:19,600
environmental law and fair

6006
03:17:20,971 --> 03:17:21,839
housing obligations.

6007
03:17:21,839 --> 03:17:22,473
It was a policy enacted without

6008
03:17:22,473 --> 03:17:24,473
meaningful input bypassing

6009
03:17:25,943 --> 03:17:26,644
procedural safeguards,

6010
03:17:26,644 --> 03:17:27,344
environmental reviews and our

6011
03:17:27,344 --> 03:17:29,744
community's right to equitable

6012
03:17:31,415 --> 03:17:32,183
development including that of

6013
03:17:32,183 --> 03:17:35,183
21st Century Parks as Degnan

6014
03:17:36,253 --> 03:17:36,987
designated for our areas

6015
03:17:36,987 --> 03:17:39,987
affected in our community plan.

6016
03:17:40,230 --> 03:17:40,891
Footnote seven must be repealed

6017
03:17:40,891 --> 03:17:43,291
retroactively because it was

6018
03:17:44,895 --> 03:17:45,629
unlawful at inception and is

6019
03:17:45,629 --> 03:17:46,330
poised to do irreversible and

6020
03:17:46,330 --> 03:17:49,330
severe harm to our community.

6021
03:17:49,534 --> 03:17:50,267
Before Footnote seven District

6022
03:17:50,267 --> 03:17:53,267
four the low resource primarily

6023
03:17:54,605 --> 03:17:55,306
nonwhite district with by far

6024
03:17:55,306 --> 03:17:55,906
the greatest concentration of

6025
03:17:55,906 --> 03:17:58,906
black San Diego and had

6026
03:17:59,510 --> 03:18:01,910
crumbling roads, poor schools

6027
03:18:03,948 --> 03:18:04,582
boarded up storefronts, food

6028
03:18:04,582 --> 03:18:05,315
deserts severely deficient

6029
03:18:05,315 --> 03:18:07,315
stormwater infrastructure trash

6030
03:18:08,352 --> 03:18:09,200
strewn medians filled with

6031
03:18:09,200 --> 03:18:11,420
cracked weed written asphalt

6032
03:18:13,291 --> 03:18:14,580
and streets with no sidewalks.

6033
03:18:14,580 --> 03:18:14,659
The few parks we have are

6034
03:18:14,659 --> 03:18:17,590
broken down relics from

6035
03:18:18,362 --> 03:18:19,130
the middle of the last century

6036
03:18:19,130 --> 03:18:22,730
the only amenity we had was 17%

6037
03:18:23,668 --> 03:18:23,968
of the city's r's one two Lot

6038
03:18:23,968 --> 03:18:25,968
size.

6039
03:18:27,171 --> 03:18:27,972
Footnote seven completely

6040
03:18:27,972 --> 03:18:30,972
eliminated the one amenity we

6041
03:18:31,475 --> 03:18:32,176
had District one the far

6042
03:18:32,176 --> 03:18:34,576
wealthier and whiter District

6043
03:18:35,445 --> 03:18:36,247
had all the things lacking in

6044
03:18:36,247 --> 03:18:39,183
District four and had a

6045
03:18:39,183 --> 03:18:39,550
whopping 61% of the rs one two

6046
03:18:39,550 --> 03:18:41,550
Lot size.

6047
03:18:42,653 --> 03:18:43,487
Footnote seven Reduced District

6048
03:18:43,487 --> 03:18:46,691
four share of that lot size

6049
03:18:46,691 --> 03:18:49,910
from 17% to zero while

6050
03:18:49,627 --> 03:18:50,127
increasing District one share

6051
03:18:50,127 --> 03:18:52,127
from 61% to 74%.

6052
03:18:55,990 --> 03:18:55,999
Housing cost is driven at least

6053
03:18:55,999 --> 03:18:56,367
as much by location as it is by

6054
03:18:56,367 --> 03:18:58,367
inventory.

6055
03:18:59,804 --> 03:19:00,437
Everyone is familiar with

6056
03:19:00,437 --> 03:19:03,437
the retail and real estate

6057
03:19:04,442 --> 03:19:04,809
maxim of location location,

6058
03:19:04,809 --> 03:19:05,510
location.

6059
03:19:05,510 --> 03:19:09,110
As long as there are large

6060
03:19:09,947 --> 03:19:10,615
areas that are deemed undesired

6061
03:19:10,615 --> 03:19:11,182
rebuild the cost of housing

6062
03:19:11,182 --> 03:19:13,182
will remain inflated.

6063
03:19:14,452 --> 03:19:15,152
Fixing this means leveling

6064
03:19:15,152 --> 03:19:15,686
the public amenities available

6065
03:19:15,686 --> 03:19:17,686
throughout our city.

6066
03:19:19,857 --> 03:19:20,325
Modern well-paying park What

6067
03:19:20,325 --> 03:19:20,991
I'm sorry Modern

6068
03:19:20,991 --> 03:19:22,991
well-maintained parks bring

6069
03:19:24,762 --> 03:19:25,463
higher quality retail and more

6070
03:19:25,463 --> 03:19:26,196
residents with higher incomes,

6071
03:19:26,196 --> 03:19:29,796
more schooling and more time to

6072
03:19:29,800 --> 03:19:30,501
engage civically When Choice

6073
03:19:30,501 --> 03:19:33,501
Valley is no longer considered

6074
03:19:34,672 --> 03:19:35,373
undesirable, the prices of

6075
03:19:35,373 --> 03:19:35,907
housing and other areas of our

6076
03:19:35,907 --> 03:19:38,307
city will come down.

6077
03:19:40,770 --> 03:19:40,411
Our community does not oppose

6078
03:19:40,411 --> 03:19:41,120
housing.

6079
03:19:41,120 --> 03:19:43,412
In fact the 2015 Encanto

6080
03:19:44,816 --> 03:19:45,416
Community Plan significantly

6081
03:19:45,416 --> 03:19:46,840
increased multi housing

6082
03:19:46,840 --> 03:19:48,484
capacity by over 8000 units.

6083
03:19:49,220 --> 03:19:50,188
While reducing single family

6084
03:19:50,188 --> 03:19:53,788
units by 203 resulting in a net

6085
03:19:54,358 --> 03:19:56,758
population increase of over

6086
03:19:57,962 --> 03:19:58,896
28,000 a 160% growth.

6087
03:19:58,896 --> 03:20:01,198
So why are we so fiercely

6088
03:20:01,198 --> 03:20:01,866
opposed to footnote seven?

6089
03:20:01,866 --> 03:20:02,333
Because it was unlawful and

6090
03:20:02,333 --> 03:20:04,333
unconscionable.

6091
03:20:06,236 --> 03:20:06,871
It was buried within

6092
03:20:06,871 --> 03:20:07,605
the sprawling Phase two of

6093
03:20:07,605 --> 03:20:10,500
the 2019 land Development Code.

6094
03:20:11,209 --> 03:20:11,842
A massive collection collection

6095
03:20:11,842 --> 03:20:14,242
of amendments divided into

6096
03:20:16,470 --> 03:20:16,347
three phases due to its sheer

6097
03:20:16,347 --> 03:20:16,948
size.

6098
03:20:16,948 --> 03:20:17,582
The Phase two update was

6099
03:20:17,582 --> 03:20:19,982
presented to the Community

6100
03:20:20,952 --> 03:20:21,619
Planners Committee or cpc on

6101
03:20:21,619 --> 03:20:23,619
October 2nd, 2019, giving

6102
03:20:25,223 --> 03:20:25,856
members only three weeks to

6103
03:20:25,856 --> 03:20:26,591
review it before Planning

6104
03:20:26,591 --> 03:20:28,991
Commission's hearing on OCTOBER

6105
03:20:29,260 --> 03:20:29,928
26th, 2019.

6106
03:20:29,928 --> 03:20:30,561
At that Planning Commission

6107
03:20:30,561 --> 03:20:32,961
meeting cpc Chair Wallace

6108
03:20:34,398 --> 03:20:34,899
Wolford requested a three month

6109
03:20:34,899 --> 03:20:35,500
continuance citing

6110
03:20:35,500 --> 03:20:37,900
the overwhelming size of

6111
03:20:39,370 --> 03:20:40,380
the update and the need for

6112
03:20:40,380 --> 03:20:40,738
the cpc individual planning

6113
03:20:40,738 --> 03:20:43,541
groups and the code monitoring

6114
03:20:43,541 --> 03:20:43,975
team to adequately review and

6115
03:20:43,975 --> 03:20:45,975
provide input.

6116
03:20:48,450 --> 03:20:48,947
The cpc had voted unanimously

6117
03:20:48,947 --> 03:20:49,581
27 to 0 to support the requests

6118
03:20:49,581 --> 03:20:51,981
underscoring the need for

6119
03:20:53,318 --> 03:20:54,510
sufficient time for public

6120
03:20:54,510 --> 03:20:56,451
participation which is required

6121
03:20:57,255 --> 03:20:57,989
for meaningful due process.

6122
03:20:57,989 --> 03:21:00,389
Priscilla Escobar, chair of

6123
03:21:02,627 --> 03:21:03,328
the Code Monitoring Team,

6124
03:21:03,328 --> 03:21:03,995
described the process as being

6125
03:21:03,995 --> 03:21:07,331
quote like drinking out of a

6126
03:21:07,331 --> 03:21:07,998
firehose in quote illustrating

6127
03:21:07,998 --> 03:21:08,700
how overwhelming the rushed

6128
03:21:08,700 --> 03:21:11,536
timeline was for those tasked

6129
03:21:11,536 --> 03:21:12,136
with analyzing the changes.

6130
03:21:12,136 --> 03:21:12,704
Despite these very valid

6131
03:21:12,704 --> 03:21:13,204
concerns, the Planning

6132
03:21:13,204 --> 03:21:15,204
Commission denied

6133
03:21:16,574 --> 03:21:17,241
the continuance.

6134
03:21:17,241 --> 03:21:17,909
Commissioner Vicki Granites

6135
03:21:17,909 --> 03:21:20,909
harshly rebuked the cpc and

6136
03:21:21,713 --> 03:21:22,146
Planning groups for quote being

6137
03:21:22,146 --> 03:21:22,747
so far behind.

6138
03:21:22,747 --> 03:21:24,747
While Commissioner Susan

6139
03:21:26,551 --> 03:21:27,252
Pearson argued that there were

6140
03:21:27,252 --> 03:21:29,652
time sensitive items requiring

6141
03:21:30,388 --> 03:21:30,922
immediate approval notably

6142
03:21:30,922 --> 03:21:31,589
during that meeting

6143
03:21:31,589 --> 03:21:32,323
Commissioner William Hoffman

6144
03:21:32,323 --> 03:21:34,723
questioned the rationale behind

6145
03:21:35,960 --> 03:21:36,560
requirements of Footnote seven

6146
03:21:36,560 --> 03:21:37,195
applying exclusively to

6147
03:21:37,195 --> 03:21:37,529
southeastern San Diego and

6148
03:21:37,529 --> 03:21:39,529
Encanto.

6149
03:21:40,665 --> 03:21:41,299
In response, Planning

6150
03:21:41,299 --> 03:21:41,933
department staff provided

6151
03:21:41,933 --> 03:21:43,933
misleading justifications

6152
03:21:45,804 --> 03:21:46,504
stating that Footnote seven was

6153
03:21:46,504 --> 03:21:49,504
needed to quote clean up

6154
03:21:49,941 --> 03:21:50,575
inconsistencies and avoid

6155
03:21:50,575 --> 03:21:51,209
penalizing smaller lots in

6156
03:21:51,209 --> 03:21:53,609
Encanto an assertion that

6157
03:21:54,646 --> 03:21:55,380
failed to acknowledge

6158
03:21:55,380 --> 03:21:56,114
the Ordinance's direct conflict

6159
03:21:56,114 --> 03:21:56,581
with the Encanto neighborhood's

6160
03:21:56,581 --> 03:21:58,581
community plan.

6161
03:22:00,117 --> 03:22:00,685
Following this flawed process,

6162
03:22:00,685 --> 03:22:03,850
the City Council voted

6163
03:22:03,655 --> 03:22:04,422
unanimously on DECEMBER 17th,

6164
03:22:04,422 --> 03:22:05,560
2019 to adopt phase two of

6165
03:22:05,560 --> 03:22:05,724
the Land Development Code

6166
03:22:05,724 --> 03:22:07,724
update without incorporating

6167
03:22:09,270 --> 03:22:09,728
any input from the cpc code

6168
03:22:09,728 --> 03:22:12,128
monitoring team or individual

6169
03:22:13,665 --> 03:22:14,366
planning groups.

6170
03:22:14,366 --> 03:22:15,660
Footnote seven represents a

6171
03:22:15,660 --> 03:22:17,466
violation of the affirmatively

6172
03:22:19,400 --> 03:22:19,671
furthering fair housing or affo

6173
03:22:19,671 --> 03:22:20,710
obligations under state and

6174
03:22:20,710 --> 03:22:22,710
federal law.

6175
03:22:23,975 --> 03:22:24,576
These obligations require local

6176
03:22:24,576 --> 03:22:25,760
governments to actively

6177
03:22:25,760 --> 03:22:27,760
dismantle housing

6178
03:22:27,812 --> 03:22:28,413
discrimination and segregation

6179
03:22:28,413 --> 03:22:28,980
while creating equitable

6180
03:22:28,980 --> 03:22:29,347
opportunities for all

6181
03:22:29,347 --> 03:22:31,347
residents.

6182
03:22:33,180 --> 03:22:33,451
Footnote seven does

6183
03:22:33,451 --> 03:22:34,185
the opposite.

6184
03:22:34,185 --> 03:22:36,185
By disproportionately burdening

6185
03:22:37,550 --> 03:22:37,722
choice Valley a predominantly

6186
03:22:37,722 --> 03:22:38,290
black and Hispanic community

6187
03:22:38,290 --> 03:22:40,690
with the reduction of

6188
03:22:41,760 --> 03:22:42,460
greenspace to increase housing

6189
03:22:42,460 --> 03:22:43,610
stock with reduced lot sizes

6190
03:22:43,610 --> 03:22:45,461
and increased density it

6191
03:22:46,731 --> 03:22:47,365
exacerbates preexisting

6192
03:22:47,365 --> 03:22:47,866
inequities and segregated

6193
03:22:47,866 --> 03:22:49,866
housing patterns.

6194
03:22:51,970 --> 03:22:52,704
Furthermore, adding more market

6195
03:22:52,704 --> 03:22:55,774
rate housing to an area already

6196
03:22:55,774 --> 03:22:56,440
deemed undesirable due to its

6197
03:22:56,440 --> 03:22:57,175
lack of resources and its

6198
03:22:57,175 --> 03:22:57,709
racial segregation of primarily

6199
03:22:57,709 --> 03:22:59,709
nonwhite residents.

6200
03:23:01,213 --> 03:23:01,780
Does nothing to affirmatively

6201
03:23:01,780 --> 03:23:02,380
further fair housing.

6202
03:23:02,380 --> 03:23:04,780
Such housing will remain

6203
03:23:06,284 --> 03:23:07,180
undervalued compared to

6204
03:23:07,180 --> 03:23:07,752
virtually identical market rate

6205
03:23:07,752 --> 03:23:08,530
housing in whiter high resource

6206
03:23:08,530 --> 03:23:10,530
areas.

6207
03:23:11,556 --> 03:23:12,900
Perpetuating the racial and

6208
03:23:12,900 --> 03:23:12,757
economic inequities.

6209
03:23:12,757 --> 03:23:15,757
That effort was designed to

6210
03:23:16,270 --> 03:23:16,728
address.

6211
03:23:16,728 --> 03:23:17,395
Additionally, the increased

6212
03:23:17,395 --> 03:23:19,795
density allowed by Footnote

6213
03:23:20,732 --> 03:23:21,398
seven imposes significant

6214
03:23:21,398 --> 03:23:22,100
environmental burdens on our

6215
03:23:22,100 --> 03:23:22,634
community including worsening

6216
03:23:22,634 --> 03:23:24,634
heat island effects

6217
03:23:26,400 --> 03:23:26,671
overburdened stormwater

6218
03:23:26,671 --> 03:23:28,671
infrastructure and reducing

6219
03:23:30,142 --> 03:23:30,842
access to public green spaces.

6220
03:23:30,842 --> 03:23:31,409
These impacts contravene both

6221
03:23:31,409 --> 03:23:33,809
Fair Housing Act and

6222
03:23:35,847 --> 03:23:36,581
California's eight ffo mandates

6223
03:23:36,581 --> 03:23:38,981
which demand proactive measures

6224
03:23:40,118 --> 03:23:40,785
to address systemic inequities

6225
03:23:40,785 --> 03:23:41,118
in housing and environmental

6226
03:23:41,118 --> 03:23:43,118
quality.

6227
03:23:44,522 --> 03:23:45,123
Footnote seven entrenches these

6228
03:23:45,123 --> 03:23:45,757
disparities rather than

6229
03:23:45,757 --> 03:23:48,157
alleviating them making it

6230
03:23:49,594 --> 03:23:50,262
repeal necessary to comply with

6231
03:23:50,262 --> 03:23:50,662
law and uphold fair housing

6232
03:23:50,662 --> 03:23:52,662
principles.

6233
03:23:54,566 --> 03:23:55,300
The city has failed to

6234
03:23:55,300 --> 03:23:55,934
demonstrate that Footnote seven

6235
03:23:55,934 --> 03:23:58,934
serves a public good that

6236
03:23:59,437 --> 03:24:00,105
justifies the disparate impact

6237
03:24:00,105 --> 03:24:00,739
it imposes on Choice Valley.

6238
03:24:00,739 --> 03:24:03,139
While disparate impact on

6239
03:24:04,642 --> 03:24:05,310
certain communities MAY in

6240
03:24:05,310 --> 03:24:05,877
limited cases be permissible

6241
03:24:05,877 --> 03:24:07,877
under equal protection

6242
03:24:09,414 --> 03:24:10,115
principles if they are tied to

6243
03:24:10,115 --> 03:24:10,782
a compelling public interest.

6244
03:24:10,782 --> 03:24:13,718
Footnote seven fails to meet

6245
03:24:13,718 --> 03:24:14,419
the standard to the extent

6246
03:24:14,419 --> 03:24:15,119
the stated justification about

6247
03:24:15,119 --> 03:24:18,719
cleaning code up and making it

6248
03:24:18,790 --> 03:24:19,491
more consistent makes any sense

6249
03:24:19,491 --> 03:24:23,910
And it's not suspected as a

6250
03:24:23,262 --> 03:24:23,562
pretext for something shameful

6251
03:24:23,562 --> 03:24:24,362
.

6252
03:24:24,362 --> 03:24:25,630
It appears to have been done

6253
03:24:25,630 --> 03:24:27,630
for administrative convenience

6254
03:24:28,667 --> 03:24:29,368
rather than any demonstra ble

6255
03:24:29,368 --> 03:24:30,135
benefit to the public at large

6256
03:24:30,135 --> 03:24:33,735
or to the community It burdens

6257
03:24:33,838 --> 03:24:34,438
as established in village of

6258
03:24:34,438 --> 03:24:34,973
Arlington Heights versus

6259
03:24:34,973 --> 03:24:35,373
Metropolitan Housing

6260
03:24:35,373 --> 03:24:37,373
Development.

6261
03:24:38,844 --> 03:24:39,511
Government policies that create

6262
03:24:39,511 --> 03:24:40,245
racial disparities must have

6263
03:24:40,245 --> 03:24:42,645
strong justifications rooted in

6264
03:24:42,881 --> 03:24:43,348
the public good to withstand

6265
03:24:43,348 --> 03:24:44,490
legal scrutiny.

6266
03:24:44,490 --> 03:24:47,490
Footnote seven has no such

6267
03:24:47,819 --> 03:24:48,520
justification This policy's

6268
03:24:48,520 --> 03:24:50,920
disparate impact combined with

6269
03:24:52,491 --> 03:24:53,191
its procedural irregularities

6270
03:24:53,191 --> 03:24:53,859
renders it indefensible under

6271
03:24:53,859 --> 03:24:55,859
equal protection principles.

6272
03:24:57,729 --> 03:24:58,430
The city attorney's dedication

6273
03:24:58,430 --> 03:25:00,830
to defending the indefensible

6274
03:25:02,568 --> 03:25:03,268
acts of the city sets a new bar

6275
03:25:03,268 --> 03:25:06,268
for behavior that is merely

6276
03:25:07,973 --> 03:25:08,707
under the color of law.

6277
03:25:08,707 --> 03:25:09,374
>> Footnote seven also violates

6278
03:25:09,374 --> 03:25:11,774
Sequoyah, which mandates an

6279
03:25:12,945 --> 03:25:13,612
environmental review for

6280
03:25:13,612 --> 03:25:14,247
significant zoning changes.

6281
03:25:14,247 --> 03:25:14,913
The failure to conduct an

6282
03:25:14,913 --> 03:25:16,913
environmental impact report

6283
03:25:18,317 --> 03:25:19,170
constitutes a deprivation of

6284
03:25:19,170 --> 03:25:19,651
procedural due process a seek

6285
03:25:19,651 --> 03:25:22,510
to ensure stakeholders are

6286
03:25:23,210 --> 03:25:23,755
informed of potential

6287
03:25:23,755 --> 03:25:24,456
environmental impacts and given

6288
03:25:24,456 --> 03:25:26,856
the opportunity to participate

6289
03:25:26,958 --> 03:25:27,659
in mitigating them.

6290
03:25:27,659 --> 03:25:28,126
This omission denied residents

6291
03:25:28,126 --> 03:25:28,727
of Choice Valley

6292
03:25:28,727 --> 03:25:31,127
the opportunity to raise

6293
03:25:32,640 --> 03:25:32,664
concerns about the increased

6294
03:25:32,664 --> 03:25:33,298
densities environmental

6295
03:25:33,298 --> 03:25:33,999
consequences such as heat

6296
03:25:33,999 --> 03:25:36,999
island effect and storm water

6297
03:25:37,569 --> 03:25:38,303

Trust and Walker vs City of

6300
03:25:42,774 --> 03:25:43,509
Hutchinson Due process requires

6301
03:25:43,509 --> 03:25:45,909
notice reasonably calculated to

6302
03:25:47,279 --> 03:25:48,130
inform interested parties and

6303
03:25:48,130 --> 03:25:48,413
provide them a fair opportunity

6304
03:25:48,413 --> 03:25:50,413
to be heard.

6305
03:25:52,316 --> 03:25:52,951
The absence of a second

6306
03:25:52,951 --> 03:25:53,485
mandated eia also violates

6307
03:25:53,485 --> 03:25:55,485
precedent requiring

6308
03:25:57,289 --> 03:25:57,990
environmental review of

6309
03:25:57,990 --> 03:26:00,390
significant zoning changes per

6310

of Los Angeles.

6312
03:26:02,561 --> 03:26:04,961
Furthermore, Footnote seven is

6313
03:26:06,264 --> 03:26:06,965
substantively unlawful because

6314
03:26:06,965 --> 03:26:07,700
it conflicts with the Encanto

6315
03:26:07,700 --> 03:26:10,100
neighborhoods Community plan of

6316
03:26:11,336 --> 03:26:11,837
2015 and the city's general

03:26:11,837 --> 03:26:12,471
plan under Lester

03:26:16,809 --> 03:26:17,476
ordinances inconsistent with

6321
03:26:17,476 --> 03:26:20,476
the general plan are invalid

6322
03:26:20,546 --> 03:26:21,146
from inception.

6323
03:26:21,146 --> 03:26:21,879
Footnote seven Increased

6324
03:26:21,879 --> 03:26:24,279
density contradicts the Encanto

6325
03:26:25,317 --> 03:26:25,984
community plan's provisions for

6326
03:26:25,984 --> 03:26:26,652
infrastructure development,

6327
03:26:26,652 --> 03:26:28,652
greenspace preservation and

6328
03:26:30,356 --> 03:26:31,230
environmental sustainability

6329
03:26:31,230 --> 03:26:31,723
rendering it void under this

6330
03:26:31,723 --> 03:26:34,123
principle allowing projects to

6331
03:26:35,594 --> 03:26:36,328
proceed under Footnote seven

6332
03:26:36,328 --> 03:26:39,328
would set a dangerous precedent

6333
03:26:40,533 --> 03:26:41,232
and undermine public trust If

6334
03:26:41,232 --> 03:26:41,900
developers and city officials

6335
03:26:41,900 --> 03:26:44,470
are allowed to benefit from

6336
03:26:44,470 --> 03:26:44,837
ordinances later deemed

6337
03:26:44,837 --> 03:26:45,571
unlawful.

6338
03:26:45,571 --> 03:26:48,571
It creates a perverse incentive

6339
03:26:49,508 --> 03:26:50,242
a perverse incentive for

6340
03:26:50,242 --> 03:26:50,642
passing and relying on unlawful

6341
03:26:50,642 --> 03:26:52,642
legislation.

6342
03:26:54,580 --> 03:26:56,580
California Government Code

6343
03:26:59,685 --> 03:27:00,386
66498.1 prohibits reliant on

6344
03:27:00,386 --> 03:27:01,200
ordinances that do not comply

6345
03:27:01,200 --> 03:27:03,422
with state or federal law.

6346
03:27:03,422 --> 03:27:04,220
Acker versus Baldwin

6347
03:27:04,220 --> 03:27:04,523
invalidated development

6348
03:27:04,523 --> 03:27:05,190
approval based on

6349
03:27:05,190 --> 03:27:07,190
unconstitutional zoning code

6350
03:27:08,894 --> 03:27:09,495
and Starbird versus County of

6351
03:27:09,495 --> 03:27:11,895
San Benito has specific

6352
03:27:13,632 --> 03:27:13,998
applications to violations of

6353
03:27:13,998 --> 03:27:14,667
Sequoyah.

6354
03:27:14,667 --> 03:27:15,401
Allowing such reliance would

6355
03:27:15,401 --> 03:27:17,401
discourage accountability erode

6356
03:27:18,737 --> 03:27:19,304
confidence in the city's

6357
03:27:19,304 --> 03:27:19,905
planning processes and

6358
03:27:19,905 --> 03:27:21,905
disproportionately harm

6359
03:27:23,709 --> 03:27:24,577
marginalized communities.

6360
03:27:24,577 --> 03:27:25,144
It is essential to send a clear

6361
03:27:25,144 --> 03:27:27,144
message that unlawful

6362
03:27:27,746 --> 03:27:28,380
ordinances cannot serve as

6363
03:27:28,380 --> 03:27:28,747
the basis for development

6364
03:27:28,747 --> 03:27:30,747
approvals.

6365
03:27:32,685 --> 03:27:33,318
The Choice Valley Community

6366
03:27:33,318 --> 03:27:33,919
does not oppose housing.

6367
03:27:33,919 --> 03:27:34,620
Our 2015 community plan

6368
03:27:34,620 --> 03:27:37,200
demonstrated our commitment to

6369
03:27:37,957 --> 03:27:38,357
sustainable and equitable

6370
03:27:38,357 --> 03:27:39,240
development.

6371
03:27:39,240 --> 03:27:41,424
Footnote seven seven However

6372
03:27:42,828 --> 03:27:43,529
disregarded our needs and

6373
03:27:43,529 --> 03:27:45,929
the law prioritizing developer

6374
03:27:47,990 --> 03:27:47,833
profits over both its

6375
03:27:47,833 --> 03:27:50,233
retroactive repeal is necessary

6376
03:27:52,238 --> 03:27:52,905
not only to correct past harms

6377
03:27:52,905 --> 03:27:56,505
but to ensure a future where

6378
03:27:56,776 --> 03:27:57,476
all San Diego communities are

6379
03:27:57,476 --> 03:27:57,877
treated with fairness, dignity

6380
03:27:57,877 --> 03:27:58,744
and respect.

6381
03:27:58,744 --> 03:28:02,414
If there is a burden to be

6382
03:28:02,414 --> 03:28:03,150
borne as a result of

6383
03:28:03,150 --> 03:28:03,682
the unlawful passage of

6384
03:28:03,682 --> 03:28:06,185
Footnote seven it should not

6385
03:28:06,185 --> 03:28:06,886
fall on a demographic that has

6386
03:28:06,886 --> 03:28:09,886
been misused and neglected for

6387
03:28:11,230 --> 03:28:11,791
over a century.

6388
03:28:11,791 --> 03:28:14,791
>> So City of San Diego.

6389
03:28:16,228 --> 03:28:16,896
Pay the developers if they

6390
03:28:16,896 --> 03:28:17,696
should prevail or you think

6391
03:28:17,696 --> 03:28:21,296
they ought to prevail but halt

6392
03:28:21,400 --> 03:28:22,101
the development that is based

6393
03:28:22,101 --> 03:28:22,768
on wrong and unlawful zoning.

6394
03:28:22,768 --> 03:28:25,168
That remedy though somewhat

6395
03:28:25,605 --> 03:28:26,305
painful is the least our

6396
03:28:26,305 --> 03:28:29,305
community's do on this matter

6397
03:28:29,875 --> 03:28:30,509
and do this without board

6398
03:28:30,509 --> 03:28:32,909
burdening our already low

6399
03:28:35,114 --> 03:28:35,614
resource community with taking

6400
03:28:35,614 --> 03:28:36,382
you to court.

6401
03:28:36,382 --> 03:28:38,782
The recommendation before you

6402
03:28:40,619 --> 03:28:41,287
today needs to amended to have

6403
03:28:41,287 --> 03:28:43,287
explicit retroactive effect.

6404
03:28:45,557 --> 03:28:46,225
The mere fact that footnote

6405
03:28:46,225 --> 03:28:48,625
seven effectively resound an

6406
03:28:49,161 --> 03:28:49,761
area with a significant change

6407
03:28:49,761 --> 03:28:50,462
in density without an

6408
03:28:50,462 --> 03:28:52,862
environmental impact review is

6409
03:28:55,368 --> 03:28:55,868
all alone sufficient reason for

6410
03:28:55,868 --> 03:28:56,801
you to amend it?

6411
03:28:56,801 --> 03:28:58,537
This should be a no brainer

6412
03:28:58,537 --> 03:28:59,205
decision albeit one that

6413
03:28:59,205 --> 03:29:02,205
requires the courage of your

6414
03:29:03,476 --> 03:29:04,410
patriotism.

6415
03:29:04,410 --> 03:29:08,481
And just in terms of just math

6416
03:29:08,481 --> 03:29:11,984
basic math one acre divided by

6417
03:29:11,984 --> 03:29:12,418
20,000ft is to two Lot two

6418
03:29:12,418 --> 03:29:14,418
unit not four.

6419
03:29:16,522 --> 03:29:18,522
>> Thank you.

6420
03:29:21,994 --> 03:29:22,929
>> Next is Ameen Amin.

6421
03:29:22,929 --> 03:29:26,532
You have time ceded to you by

6422
03:29:26,532 --> 03:29:27,133
Sanam Pessl over Sanam Can you

6423
03:29:27,133 --> 03:29:27,699
please raise your hand?

6424
03:29:27,699 --> 03:29:28,301
>> Thank you so much.

6425
03:29:28,301 --> 03:29:30,636
You'll have two minutes.

6426
03:29:30,636 --> 03:29:31,103
Please proceed.

6427
03:29:31,103 --> 03:29:33,103
Good afternoon.

6428
03:29:35,541 --> 03:29:36,309
Well, let's be honest Footnote

6429
03:29:36,309 --> 03:29:36,743
seven was quietly added to

6430
03:29:36,743 --> 03:29:37,777
the city code.

6431
03:29:37,777 --> 03:29:40,980
We all know that by now with no

6432
03:29:40,980 --> 03:29:41,614
transparency on notice to

6433
03:29:41,614 --> 03:29:42,381
the community And now it's

6434
03:29:42,381 --> 03:29:45,685
being used to push through high

6435
03:29:45,685 --> 03:29:46,185
density projects.

6436
03:29:46,185 --> 03:29:46,752
These projects are

6437
03:29:46,752 --> 03:29:47,286
fundamentally changing

6438
03:29:47,286 --> 03:29:49,686
the character of our

6439
03:29:51,190 --> 03:29:51,891
neighborhoods with or without

6440
03:29:51,891 --> 03:29:54,794
our consent And they're based

6441
03:29:54,794 --> 03:29:55,495
on a rule that none of

6442
03:29:55,495 --> 03:29:55,828
the residents didn't even know

6443
03:29:55,828 --> 03:29:56,395
existed.

6444
03:29:56,395 --> 03:29:58,795
This isn't just about

6445
03:29:59,866 --> 03:30:00,500
the density.

6446
03:30:00,500 --> 03:30:01,234
It's about justice.

6447
03:30:01,234 --> 03:30:04,834
And Canada has a long history

6448
03:30:05,204 --> 03:30:05,872
of redlining and equality and

6449
03:30:05,872 --> 03:30:08,541
this footnote feels like yet

6450
03:30:08,541 --> 03:30:09,242
another blow to a community

6451
03:30:09,242 --> 03:30:11,642
that already endured systemic

6452
03:30:14,460 --> 03:30:14,679
inequalities for decades by

6453
03:30:14,679 --> 03:30:15,140
allowing these projects to

6454
03:30:15,140 --> 03:30:15,681
proceed.

6455
03:30:15,681 --> 03:30:17,681
Accelerating gentrification

6456
03:30:18,885 --> 03:30:19,552
displacing long time residents

6457
03:30:19,552 --> 03:30:22,552
and continuing a legacy of

6458
03:30:23,560 --> 03:30:23,756
unfair treatment.

6459
03:30:23,756 --> 03:30:24,490
There's also a legal question

6460
03:30:24,490 --> 03:30:28,900
here How can project still rely

6461
03:30:28,294 --> 03:30:28,995
on a quietly added footnote one

6462
03:30:28,995 --> 03:30:31,395
that many stakeholders weren't

6463
03:30:32,665 --> 03:30:33,990
even aware of be considered

6464
03:30:33,990 --> 03:30:33,733
valid?

6465
03:30:33,733 --> 03:30:34,467
This lack of transparency

6466
03:30:34,467 --> 03:30:37,467
undermines trust in the process

6467
03:30:38,271 --> 03:30:38,938
and raises serious concerns

6468
03:30:38,938 --> 03:30:39,605
about whether these projects

6469
03:30:39,605 --> 03:30:42,605
comply with the principle of

6470
03:30:43,309 --> 03:30:44,177
equality and due process.

6471
03:30:44,177 --> 03:30:47,777
I urge the Council today to

6472
03:30:48,314 --> 03:30:49,480
take immediate action halt

6473
03:30:49,480 --> 03:30:49,782
these projects that are tied to

6474
03:30:49,782 --> 03:30:52,782
footnote seven until a full

6475
03:30:53,386 --> 03:30:54,200
review can be conducted with

6476
03:30:54,200 --> 03:30:54,319
proper community community

6477
03:30:54,319 --> 03:30:56,319
input.

6478
03:30:57,590 --> 03:30:58,291
Let's take a step back and

6479
03:30:58,291 --> 03:30:58,957
think about how we can support

6480
03:30:58,957 --> 03:31:01,957
and can do it without

6481
03:31:02,950 --> 03:31:02,795
continuing to perpetuate

6482
03:31:02,795 --> 03:31:03,229
the pattern of inequality and

6483
03:31:03,229 --> 03:31:05,229
displacement.

6484
03:31:07,634 --> 03:31:10,634
>> Thank you xo Susan Baldwin.

6485
03:31:11,203 --> 03:31:11,504
You have time to buy Yvonne

6486
03:31:11,504 --> 03:31:12,171
Jones.

6487
03:31:12,171 --> 03:31:12,538
Yvonne Jones are you here?

6488
03:31:12,538 --> 03:31:13,139
Thank you.

6489
03:31:13,139 --> 03:31:15,539
You'll have two minutes.

6490
03:31:16,800 --> 03:31:16,575
Please proceed.

6491
03:31:16,575 --> 03:31:18,575
>> Thank you.

6492
03:31:20,446 --> 03:31:21,800
I am here speaking on behalf of

6493
03:31:21,800 --> 03:31:21,381
neighbors for a better San

6494
03:31:21,381 --> 03:31:22,150
Diego.

6495
03:31:22,150 --> 03:31:25,150
In support of the Planning

6496
03:31:25,518 --> 03:31:26,152
Department's recommendation to

6497
03:31:26,152 --> 03:31:28,552
remove a footnote Footnote

6498
03:31:30,390 --> 03:31:31,570
seven which only applied to

6499
03:31:31,570 --> 03:31:31,757
the Troilus Valley Community

6500
03:31:31,757 --> 03:31:34,157
Planning area and Southeastern

6501
03:31:35,428 --> 03:31:36,329
Community Planning area where

6502
03:31:36,329 --> 03:31:40,529
there is no such zoning and did

6503
03:31:40,934 --> 03:31:41,534
not affect any other rs one to

6504
03:31:41,534 --> 03:31:44,534
zoned lands in the city.

6505
03:31:45,572 --> 03:31:46,305
Footnotes seven should be

6506
03:31:46,305 --> 03:31:49,305
removed from the municipal code

6507
03:31:49,575 --> 03:31:50,276
however because of the improper

6508
03:31:50,276 --> 03:31:52,276
and apparently deliberatively

6509
03:31:54,447 --> 03:31:55,148
deliberately deceptive process

6510
03:31:55,148 --> 03:31:55,915
used to approve Footnote seven

6511
03:31:55,915 --> 03:31:59,515
which has yet to be explained

6512
03:31:59,619 --> 03:32:00,320
by the Planning Department or

6513
03:32:00,320 --> 03:32:03,320
any city officials The removal

6514
03:32:03,590 --> 03:32:04,257
of footnote seven should be

6515
03:32:04,257 --> 03:32:06,657
applied retroactively to any

6516
03:32:08,160 --> 03:32:08,895
projects that submitted

6517
03:32:08,895 --> 03:32:11,295
applications using the footnote

6518
03:32:12,732 --> 03:32:13,433
zoning including the two

6519
03:32:13,433 --> 03:32:14,100
projects known as the Klauber

6520
03:32:14,100 --> 03:32:17,100
Project and Radio Towers Old

6521
03:32:17,704 --> 03:32:18,371
Memory Lane project.

6522
03:32:18,371 --> 03:32:19,720
These projects should not be

6523
03:32:19,720 --> 03:32:22,720
allowed to go forward as

6524
03:32:22,575 --> 03:32:23,343
currently proposed.

6525
03:32:23,343 --> 03:32:26,943
In addition, it is important to

6526
03:32:27,380 --> 03:32:28,800
note both projects are located

6527
03:32:28,800 --> 03:32:28,448
on community plan designated

6528
03:32:28,448 --> 03:32:30,448
park land.

6529
03:32:33,190 --> 03:32:33,687
The manner in which Footnote

6530
03:32:33,687 --> 03:32:36,687
seven was adopted lumped in

6531
03:32:37,556 --> 03:32:38,258
with a general land development

6532
03:32:38,258 --> 03:32:40,658
code update deliberately and

6533
03:32:42,395 --> 03:32:43,630
unfairly bypassing community

6534
03:32:43,630 --> 03:32:43,730
input denied the community

6535
03:32:43,730 --> 03:32:46,730
the ability to negotiate any

6536
03:32:47,968 --> 03:32:48,702
community benefits such as

6537
03:32:48,702 --> 03:32:51,871
setting aside a portion of both

6538
03:32:51,871 --> 03:32:52,539
sites for park space to

6539
03:32:52,539 --> 03:32:53,273
implement the community park

6540
03:32:53,273 --> 03:32:56,273
designation In both the general

6541
03:32:57,430 --> 03:32:57,744
plan recreation element and

6542
03:32:57,744 --> 03:33:00,744
the community plan in exchange

6543
03:33:02,482 --> 03:33:02,883
for subdivision of the land for

6544
03:33:02,883 --> 03:33:04,883
development.

6545
03:33:06,719 --> 03:33:07,519
Why were these projects?

6546
03:33:07,519 --> 03:33:08,221
Why are these projects not

6547
03:33:08,221 --> 03:33:10,621
required to process community

6548
03:33:12,580 --> 03:33:12,558
plan and general plan

6549
03:33:12,558 --> 03:33:13,126
amendments giving

6550
03:33:13,126 --> 03:33:15,126
the designation Given

6551
03:33:17,264 --> 03:33:17,697
the designation of the sites

6552
03:33:17,697 --> 03:33:18,265
for Parkland?

6553
03:33:18,265 --> 03:33:18,632
>> Thank you for that

6554
03:33:18,632 --> 03:33:19,165
concludes.

6555
03:33:19,165 --> 03:33:21,565
Thank you very much.

6556
03:33:25,705 --> 03:33:29,305
Hazel Higgins And you have time

6557
03:33:30,143 --> 03:33:30,442
to go to by DR. Catherine Pope

6558
03:33:30,442 --> 03:33:31,770

6559
03:33:31,770 --> 03:33:31,811
>> Catherine Pope There's

6560
03:33:31,811 --> 03:33:34,211

6561
03:33:35,215 --> 03:33:35,983
for Come here Access.

6562
03:33:35,983 --> 03:33:36,650
And I'm sorry I didn't see

6563
03:33:36,650 --> 03:33:39,650
the hand of Catherine Pope.

6564
03:33:39,886 --> 03:33:40,353
Thank you so much, DR.

6565
03:33:40,353 --> 03:33:42,353
Catherine Pope.

6566
03:33:44,224 --> 03:33:44,523
Thank you so much.

6567
03:33:44,523 --> 03:33:46,523
Okay.

6568
03:33:48,862 --> 03:33:49,496
Good afternoon, City COUNCILMAN

6569

My arthritic body.

6572
03:33:58,404 --> 03:33:59,500
86 years young is not happy to

6573
03:33:59,500 --> 03:33:59,373
be here with you this

6574
03:33:59,373 --> 03:34:01,373
afternoon.

6575
03:34:03,477 --> 03:34:03,810
I've been here many, many times

6576
03:34:03,810 --> 03:34:05,810
before.

6577
03:34:08,215 --> 03:34:08,982
I've served in my community for

6578
03:34:08,982 --> 03:34:11,982
more than 60 years serving on

6579
03:34:13,220 --> 03:34:13,954
the Southeast Development.

people.

6589
03:34:32,673 --> 03:34:33,273
I'd like to tell you about

6590
03:34:33,273 --> 03:34:35,673
the Encanto task force.

6591
03:34:37,410 --> 03:34:38,178
Many years ago.

6592
03:34:38,178 --> 03:34:41,178
Petitioned the City Council to

6593
03:34:42,616 --> 03:34:45,160
rezone the Encanto community.

6594
03:34:46,219 --> 03:34:49,219
R 110 r 115 r 120 Because we

6595
03:34:50,457 --> 03:34:51,580
liked the hillsides

6596
03:34:51,580 --> 03:34:54,580
the openness and it all.

6597
03:34:55,762 --> 03:34:56,630
>> The project that is planned

6598
03:34:56,630 --> 03:34:56,897
.

6599
03:34:56,897 --> 03:35:00,497
My kitchen window looks on it

6600
03:35:00,767 --> 03:35:01,535
My my.

6601
03:35:01,535 --> 03:35:04,838
i have two houses on Egret

6602
03:35:04,838 --> 03:35:05,539
Street on the hillside one

6603
03:35:05,539 --> 03:35:05,906
house down below and a vacant

6604
03:35:05,906 --> 03:35:06,707
property.

6605
03:35:06,707 --> 03:35:09,910
I have done a real estate

6606
03:35:09,910 --> 03:35:10,611
license for many years and I

6607
03:35:10,611 --> 03:35:13,814
could have moved I could have

6608
03:35:13,814 --> 03:35:14,381
bought property in other areas

6609
03:35:14,381 --> 03:35:14,748
but I like the Encanto

6610
03:35:14,748 --> 03:35:16,748
community.

6611
03:35:18,985 --> 03:35:19,318
But this is that my bell

6612
03:35:19,318 --> 03:35:19,820
ringing.

6613
03:35:19,820 --> 03:35:22,220
It's the same old.

6614
03:35:23,723 --> 03:35:24,157
La la la And it's just a

6615
03:35:24,157 --> 03:35:24,892
different day.

6616
03:35:24,892 --> 03:35:28,492
This is our day in court.

6617
03:35:29,129 --> 03:35:29,462
You listen to us but do you

6618
03:35:29,462 --> 03:35:31,462
hear us?

6619
03:35:32,533 --> 03:35:33,233
Do you really hear us?

6620
03:35:33,233 --> 03:35:35,633
Do you hear us?

6621
03:35:38,939 --> 03:35:42,539
Your hoper made me CHAIRMAN Of

6622
03:35:43,900 --> 03:35:43,744
the open space in southeast San

6623
03:35:43,744 --> 03:35:47,147
Diego and I took it seriously.

6624
03:35:47,147 --> 03:35:47,680
It was 5.39 acres of designated

6625
03:35:47,680 --> 03:35:49,680
adopted open space.

6626
03:35:51,351 --> 03:35:52,152
So okay, that is your time But

6627
03:35:52,152 --> 03:35:55,752
thank you very much for coming

6628
03:35:56,223 --> 03:35:56,823
And that does conclude public

6629
03:35:56,823 --> 03:35:57,458
comment hearing Council

6630
03:35:57,458 --> 03:35:58,580
chambers will go to those

6631
03:35:58,580 --> 03:36:00,580
participating remotely.

6632
03:36:01,195 --> 03:36:01,929
I started the five minute time

6633
03:36:01,929 --> 03:36:02,496
We're here in council chambers.

6634
03:36:02,496 --> 03:36:03,163
We currently have ten

6635
03:36:03,163 --> 03:36:05,563
individuals with their hands

6636
03:36:06,366 --> 03:36:06,667
raised starting with John

6637
03:36:06,667 --> 03:36:07,401
Stump.

6638
03:36:07,401 --> 03:36:09,903
>> If you can please unmute.

6639
03:36:09,903 --> 03:36:10,571
Thank you very much.

6640
03:36:10,571 --> 03:36:12,971
I completely agree with

6641
03:36:14,841 --> 03:36:16,841
the community presenters.

6642
03:36:19,813 --> 03:36:23,413
GOD bless the soul of our

6643
03:36:23,883 --> 03:36:24,618
COUNCILMAN George Stevens.

6644
03:36:24,618 --> 03:36:27,618
I urge all the community

6645
03:36:28,822 --> 03:36:29,523
members there to vote no on

6646
03:36:29,523 --> 03:36:32,523
the proposal to increase their

6647
03:36:34,328 --> 03:36:35,262
water fees and taxes.

6648
03:36:35,262 --> 03:36:38,966
You got to cut off a form and

6649
03:36:38,966 --> 03:36:39,466
send them in.

6650
03:36:39,466 --> 03:36:41,466
I have property.

6651
03:36:42,936 --> 03:36:43,704
My family has property in

6652
03:36:43,704 --> 03:36:46,704
District four and I am

6653
03:36:48,142 --> 03:36:51,142
the secretary of property at

6654
03:36:52,120 --> 03:36:52,646
4425 Home Avenue.

6655
03:36:52,646 --> 03:36:53,790
We are being mistreated.

6656
03:36:53,790 --> 03:36:55,790
It's racial.

6657
03:36:57,318 --> 03:36:59,718
The complete southeastern San

6658
03:37:02,389 --> 03:37:04,789
Diego Planning Group's scheme

6659
03:37:07,328 --> 03:37:08,195
is racially based and there's

6660
03:37:08,195 --> 03:37:11,698
no reason that Ridge view Home

6661
03:37:11,698 --> 03:37:12,132
Avenue and Webster should be in

6662
03:37:12,132 --> 03:37:14,132
City Heights.

6663
03:37:16,804 --> 03:37:17,571
I just concluded sir.

6664
03:37:17,571 --> 03:37:20,571
>> Next is Francine Maxwell If

6665
03:37:21,141 --> 03:37:24,141
you can please unmute Francine

6666
03:37:26,347 --> 03:37:26,914
Maxwell and resident Thank you

6667
03:37:26,914 --> 03:37:28,914
for the presentation.

6668
03:37:30,451 --> 03:37:30,851
Again we are looking for bold

6669
03:37:30,851 --> 03:37:31,552
leadership.

6670
03:37:31,552 --> 03:37:34,552
>> We've been looking for bold

6671
03:37:35,122 --> 03:37:35,889
leadership for quite a while

6672
03:37:35,889 --> 03:37:38,889
and although we enjoy our

6673
03:37:40,528 --> 03:37:41,262
district elections sometimes

6674
03:37:41,262 --> 03:37:42,620
it's a shot in the foot because

6675
03:37:42,620 --> 03:37:45,662
you wouldn't treat all of San

6676
03:37:45,866 --> 03:37:46,534
Diego as our mayor says a city

6677
03:37:46,534 --> 03:37:49,837
for all of us that way.

6678
03:37:49,837 --> 03:37:50,538
You allow one community to be

6679
03:37:50,538 --> 03:37:51,272
treated a certain way because

6680
03:37:51,272 --> 03:37:54,272
it's represented by one person.

6681
03:37:54,975 --> 03:37:59,175
So since we are a democracy and

6682
03:37:59,213 --> 03:38:01,213
everybody represents everybody

6683
03:38:03,551 --> 03:38:04,151
,let's go ahead and amend and

6684
03:38:04,151 --> 03:38:04,818
make sure that it covers

6685
03:38:04,818 --> 03:38:08,418
the past and the present and

6686
03:38:08,622 --> 03:38:09,490
remove footnote seven.

6687
03:38:09,490 --> 03:38:13,527
We know that there will be some

6688
03:38:13,527 --> 03:38:14,328
challenges when it comes to you

6689
03:38:14,328 --> 03:38:14,961
moving to your next office and

6690
03:38:14,961 --> 03:38:17,361
you need those donations.

6691
03:38:18,798 --> 03:38:19,567
But the donors, the developers

6692
03:38:19,567 --> 03:38:20,301
are very forgiving So do do

6693
03:38:20,301 --> 03:38:23,738
the right thing for the people.

6694
03:38:23,738 --> 03:38:24,238
Thank you so much.

6695
03:38:24,238 --> 03:38:24,905
>> Thank you.

6696
03:38:24,905 --> 03:38:27,741
Next is Catalina in us?

6697
03:38:27,741 --> 03:38:28,109
If you can please unmute.

6698
03:38:28,109 --> 03:38:28,976
Thank you.

6699
03:38:28,976 --> 03:38:32,847
I would like to start by saying

6700
03:38:32,847 --> 03:38:33,480
I believe you.

6701
03:38:33,480 --> 03:38:34,181
The City Council voted for

6702
03:38:34,181 --> 03:38:37,181
the 12th planning update under

6703
03:38:37,718 --> 03:38:38,485
false and deceitful testimony

6704
03:38:38,485 --> 03:38:38,786
given to you by the planning

6705
03:38:38,786 --> 03:38:39,586
group.

6706
03:38:39,586 --> 03:38:42,550
And with that I would like to

6707
03:38:42,550 --> 03:38:42,722
say please repeal footnote

6708
03:38:42,722 --> 03:38:45,722
seven halt and terminate all

6709
03:38:46,594 --> 03:38:47,228
permits that were illegally

6710
03:38:47,228 --> 03:38:47,828
approved by the footnote.

6711
03:38:47,828 --> 03:38:50,228
As most have indicated,

6712
03:38:51,980 --> 03:38:51,799
the most inexpensive way to

6713
03:38:51,799 --> 03:38:52,466
make this community back whole

6714
03:38:52,466 --> 03:38:55,466
is by you halting, stopping

6715
03:38:56,170 --> 03:38:56,771
terminating all and any

6716
03:38:56,771 --> 03:38:58,771
footnote seven approved

6717
03:39:00,641 --> 03:39:01,375
projects under the fairness

6718
03:39:01,375 --> 03:39:01,642
Housing Governance Code of 8890

6719
03:39:01,642 --> 03:39:03,642
9.5.

6720
03:39:06,790 --> 03:39:06,514
It requires a balanced living

6721
03:39:06,514 --> 03:39:07,148
pattern.

6722
03:39:07,148 --> 03:39:07,982
Encanto is a food desert.

6723
03:39:07,982 --> 03:39:11,582
Adding housing to a food desert

6724
03:39:11,753 --> 03:39:12,453
will make it a food depression.

6725
03:39:12,453 --> 03:39:13,540
No to the Clabber Project and

6726
03:39:13,540 --> 03:39:15,790
no to the radio project.

6727
03:39:15,790 --> 03:39:16,256
Thank you.

6728
03:39:16,256 --> 03:39:16,924
Thank you.

6729
03:39:16,924 --> 03:39:19,324

6732
03:39:24,364 --> 03:39:25,660
repeal Footnote seven Any

6733
03:39:25,660 --> 03:39:25,598
project relying on it must be

6734
03:39:25,598 --> 03:39:27,598
stopped immediately.

6735
03:39:29,170 --> 03:39:29,804
Make the amendment to

6736
03:39:29,804 --> 03:39:30,504
the Planning Department's

6737
03:39:30,504 --> 03:39:31,239
proposal to retroactively void

6738
03:39:31,239 --> 03:39:31,539
any project relying on Footnote

6739
03:39:31,539 --> 03:39:33,539
seven.

6740
03:39:34,308 --> 03:39:34,942
The City Attorney's JANUARY

6741
03:39:34,942 --> 03:39:36,942
22nd memorandum supposedly

6742
03:39:37,178 --> 03:39:37,912
addressed the legality of

6743
03:39:37,912 --> 03:39:38,513
footnote seven in the San Diego

6744
03:39:38,513 --> 03:39:40,913
Municipal Code but only

6745
03:39:42,149 --> 03:39:42,850
partially as a footnote to on

6746
03:39:42,850 --> 03:39:43,451
page three of that memorandum

6747
03:39:43,451 --> 03:39:45,451
indicates conflicts with

6748
03:39:46,854 --> 03:39:47,520
the Encanto community plan

6749
03:39:47,520 --> 03:39:48,222
the general plan equity and

6750
03:39:48,222 --> 03:39:48,922
environmental justice as well

6751
03:39:48,922 --> 03:39:51,922
as issues related to rezoning

6752
03:39:52,393 --> 03:39:53,600
without due process and

6753
03:39:53,600 --> 03:39:53,694
violations of sequel none of

6754
03:39:53,694 --> 03:39:56,940
which were addressed in

6755
03:39:56,263 --> 03:39:56,530
the memo.

6756
03:39:56,530 --> 03:39:57,131
Why?

6757
03:39:57,131 --> 03:39:57,765
Because these issues are

6758
03:39:57,765 --> 03:40:00,165
indefensible and the city

6759
03:40:01,135 --> 03:40:01,869
attorney knows it.

6760
03:40:01,869 --> 03:40:02,570
The city attorney should have

6761
03:40:02,570 --> 03:40:05,570
released an evaluation of all

6762
03:40:06,274 --> 03:40:06,974
issues raised including those

6763
03:40:06,974 --> 03:40:07,675
in footnote two of the memo to

6764
03:40:07,675 --> 03:40:08,750
the Council and to the public

6765
03:40:08,750 --> 03:40:10,750
for review.

6766
03:40:11,546 --> 03:40:12,213
But did not which makes

6767
03:40:12,213 --> 03:40:12,580
the council decision an easy

6768
03:40:12,580 --> 03:40:14,580
one today.

6769
03:40:16,483 --> 03:40:17,840
Council Please add the language

6770
03:40:17,840 --> 03:40:17,752
to retroactively reject

6771
03:40:17,752 --> 03:40:20,152
projects relying on footnote

6772
03:40:20,254 --> 03:40:20,888
seven today or you'll end up on

6773
03:40:20,888 --> 03:40:23,888
the side of history You'll

6774
03:40:24,559 --> 03:40:25,493
probably live to regret.

come up to unmute.

6782
03:40:43,577 --> 03:40:45,577
Hello.

6783
03:40:49,116 --> 03:40:49,417
Yes, please proceed.

6784
03:40:49,417 --> 03:40:50,184
Hi.

6785
03:40:50,184 --> 03:40:50,918
Let me stop the apple since I

6786
03:40:50,918 --> 03:40:51,218
live in the other side of Inver

6787
03:40:51,218 --> 03:40:53,218
hills.

6788
03:40:53,654 --> 03:40:56,540
Coronavirus states and this

6789
03:40:56,491 --> 03:40:56,991
this development has been here

6790
03:40:56,991 --> 03:40:57,759
for 45 years.

6791
03:40:57,759 --> 03:41:01,359
I do think that footnote seven

6792
03:41:01,429 --> 03:41:02,290
was wrong but moving forward I

6793
03:41:02,290 --> 03:41:02,729
do feel like housing and

6794
03:41:02,729 --> 03:41:04,729
community type beautification

6795
03:41:06,901 --> 03:41:07,468
projects that will enhance our

6796
03:41:07,468 --> 03:41:09,468
community are overdue.

6797
03:41:11,339 --> 03:41:11,906
We always get in our community

6798
03:41:11,906 --> 03:41:12,607
Encanto and Southeast.

6799
03:41:12,607 --> 03:41:13,141
Some high density practices or

6800
03:41:13,141 --> 03:41:15,141
just regular homes.

6801
03:41:17,345 --> 03:41:18,450
There are kind of like designs

6802
03:41:18,450 --> 03:41:18,713
similar to Coronado views and

6803
03:41:18,713 --> 03:41:20,715
upgraded with them and Hills

6804
03:41:20,715 --> 03:41:21,516
design.

6805
03:41:21,516 --> 03:41:21,916
So they'll be single families

6806
03:41:21,916 --> 03:41:23,916
Two stories.

6807
03:41:25,519 --> 03:41:26,187
No one right now is living on

6808
03:41:26,187 --> 03:41:26,688
the property that's proposed

6809
03:41:26,688 --> 03:41:29,880
with D.R. Horton.

6810
03:41:30,391 --> 03:41:31,260
So we can't have views any way

6811
03:41:31,260 --> 03:41:31,725
but we get houses up there that

6812
03:41:31,725 --> 03:41:32,327
we can upgrade.

6813
03:41:32,327 --> 03:41:34,727
We can actually have

6814
03:41:34,896 --> 03:41:35,563
neighborhoods that are kind of

6815
03:41:35,563 --> 03:41:36,300
like have more amenities and

6816
03:41:36,300 --> 03:41:38,300
become enhanced.

6817
03:41:39,667 --> 03:41:40,200
Yes, we've been downplayed and

6818
03:41:40,200 --> 03:41:40,835
there have been some

6819
03:41:40,835 --> 03:41:41,536
irregularities and unfair

6820
03:41:41,536 --> 03:41:43,936
treatment in our communities.

6821
03:41:45,139 --> 03:41:45,839
But these housing projects can

6822
03:41:45,839 --> 03:41:49,439
come in and it can actually

6823
03:41:50,110 --> 03:41:50,612
enhance us and we can have an

6824
03:41:50,612 --> 03:41:51,145
opportunity to connect.

6825
03:41:51,145 --> 03:41:51,579
Time has concluded.

6826
03:41:51,579 --> 03:41:53,579
My apologies.

6827
03:41:54,382 --> 03:41:55,160
Victoria Brousseau also

6828
03:41:55,160 --> 03:41:55,650
the five minute timer has

6829
03:41:55,650 --> 03:41:56,170
concluded here in council

6830
03:41:56,170 --> 03:41:58,170
chambers.

6831
03:41:58,987 --> 03:41:59,687
There are six callers left.

6832
03:41:59,687 --> 03:41:59,988
No additional callers will be

6833
03:41:59,988 --> 03:42:01,988
taken.

6834
03:42:03,358 --> 03:42:04,250
Victoria, please proceed.

6835
03:42:04,250 --> 03:42:04,659
>> Good afternoon Council

6836
03:42:04,659 --> 03:42:07,659
members As the victory lap

6837
03:42:08,630 --> 03:42:08,730
Rizzo I'm the chair of

6838
03:42:08,730 --> 03:42:09,297
the Scripps French Planning

6839
03:42:09,297 --> 03:42:09,797
Group but I'm here to

6840
03:42:09,797 --> 03:42:11,797
personally support

6841
03:42:13,134 --> 03:42:13,735
the residents of Encanto and

6842
03:42:13,735 --> 03:42:14,201
Choice Valley Community

6843
03:42:14,201 --> 03:42:16,201
Planning Group.

6844
03:42:17,705 --> 03:42:18,339
Bottom line that footnote seven

6845
03:42:18,339 --> 03:42:18,940
was not properly vetted as

6846
03:42:18,940 --> 03:42:19,507
acknowledged by the City

6847
03:42:19,507 --> 03:42:21,507
Planning Staff report.

6848
03:42:22,977 --> 03:42:23,678
The process by which

6849
03:42:23,678 --> 03:42:24,412
the footnote seven was adopted

6850
03:42:24,412 --> 03:42:27,412
did not represent best planning

6851
03:42:28,149 --> 03:42:28,716
practices procedurally That's a

6852
03:42:28,716 --> 03:42:29,417
quote from the report.

6853
03:42:29,417 --> 03:42:32,417
Therefore it should be removed

6854
03:42:33,188 --> 03:42:33,755
and any projects depending on

6855
03:42:33,755 --> 03:42:34,455
it should be canceled.

6856
03:42:34,455 --> 03:42:37,959
It's time for a win for

6857
03:42:37,959 --> 03:42:38,626
the voice of the community.

6858
03:42:38,626 --> 03:42:39,294
Again approve the removal of

6859
03:42:39,294 --> 03:42:39,928
Footnote seven and legislate

6860
03:42:39,928 --> 03:42:42,328
that the current projects

6861
03:42:43,398 --> 03:42:43,731
relying on footnote seven be

6862
03:42:43,731 --> 03:42:44,465
removed.

6863
03:42:44,465 --> 03:42:47,465
Honor the community plan zoning

6864
03:42:47,702 --> 03:42:48,403
established by appropriate

6865
03:42:48,403 --> 03:42:49,370
procedures and do not allow

6866
03:42:49,370 --> 03:42:51,437
the procedural mistakes by

6867
03:42:52,239 --> 03:42:52,940
the city planning Department to

6868
03:42:52,940 --> 03:42:53,440
adversely affect the residents

6869
03:42:53,440 --> 03:42:55,440
of Choice Valley.

6870
03:42:57,412 --> 03:42:57,879
Thank you for your time.

6871
03:42:57,879 --> 03:42:58,513
>> Thank you.

6872
03:42:58,513 --> 03:43:00,913
Next is Blaire Beekman.

6873
03:43:02,417 --> 03:43:03,170
If you can please unmute.

6874
03:43:03,170 --> 03:43:05,170
>> Hi we're Beekman.

6875
03:43:07,255 --> 03:43:08,230
Always in the children's

6876
03:43:08,230 --> 03:43:08,656
waiting pool trying to wade out

6877
03:43:08,656 --> 03:43:09,570
into the deeper waters of

6878
03:43:09,570 --> 03:43:11,570
the subject.

6879
03:43:12,260 --> 03:43:13,950
I thank you.

6880
03:43:13,950 --> 03:43:16,231
I'm interested in how you know

6881
03:43:16,231 --> 03:43:16,865
we haven't beginning concepts

6882
03:43:16,865 --> 03:43:17,431
to really want to develop

6883
03:43:17,431 --> 03:43:19,431
generational wealth in

6884
03:43:21,303 --> 03:43:21,970
the future of our housing.

6885
03:43:21,970 --> 03:43:24,370
That's an important factor.

6886
03:43:26,474 --> 03:43:27,175
And market rate housing.

6887
03:43:27,175 --> 03:43:27,876
City government staff seem to

6888
03:43:27,876 --> 03:43:28,176
be talking about that I'm not

6889
03:43:28,176 --> 03:43:30,176
sure.

6890
03:43:31,713 --> 03:43:35,313
But can we concentrate that We

6891
03:43:36,250 --> 03:43:36,851
have to question you know,

6892
03:43:36,851 --> 03:43:39,251
market rate housing and

6893
03:43:40,455 --> 03:43:41,189
consider what housing can be

6894
03:43:41,189 --> 03:43:44,789
for people and their incomes in

6895
03:43:45,125 --> 03:43:45,860
the area and not you know means

6896
03:43:45,860 --> 03:43:46,595
middle income housing and lower

6897
03:43:46,595 --> 03:43:50,195
mixed income use Ideas I talked

6898
03:43:50,465 --> 03:43:51,299
about often.

6899
03:43:51,299 --> 03:43:55,203
You know that can be a factor

6900
03:43:55,203 --> 03:43:55,904
in flexibility to this process

6901
03:43:55,904 --> 03:43:56,438
really be considering to work

6902
03:43:56,438 --> 03:43:58,438
organically with it.

6903
03:44:00,508 --> 03:44:01,176
Please.

6904
03:44:01,176 --> 03:44:01,876
We're in a new era.

6905
03:44:01,876 --> 03:44:02,443
You've got a good community

6906
03:44:02,443 --> 03:44:04,443
here asking questions.

6907
03:44:05,580 --> 03:44:06,470
Good luck and organic.

6908
03:44:06,470 --> 03:44:06,648
>> Thank you.

6909
03:44:06,648 --> 03:44:07,115
Your time has concluded.

6910
03:44:07,115 --> 03:44:09,115
Next is Sally.

6911
03:44:11,885 --> 03:44:12,454
Sally Small.

6912
03:44:12,454 --> 03:44:12,920
All righty then.

6913
03:44:12,920 --> 03:44:14,920
Thank you.

6914
03:44:17,259 --> 03:44:20,859
I am Sally Small Animal Hills

6915
03:44:21,696 --> 03:44:22,396
resident co-PRESIDENT Of

6916
03:44:22,396 --> 03:44:22,730
the Animal Health Neighborhood

6917
03:44:22,730 --> 03:44:24,730
Council.

6918
03:44:25,834 --> 03:44:26,501
As to footnote seven it's been

6919
03:44:26,501 --> 03:44:29,501
made very clear by everyone

6920
03:44:30,772 --> 03:44:31,540
ahead of me that not only do we

6921
03:44:31,540 --> 03:44:32,239
not like it, we think it was

6922
03:44:32,239 --> 03:44:34,639
decided upon behind closed

6923
03:44:35,544 --> 03:44:36,511
doors.

6924
03:44:36,511 --> 03:44:39,514
Yes, it was created in a way

6925
03:44:39,514 --> 03:44:43,714
that is not open to the public

6926
03:44:44,719 --> 03:44:45,587
presentations and not being

6927
03:44:45,587 --> 03:44:45,920
able to be seen by very many

6928
03:44:45,920 --> 03:44:46,588
people.

6929
03:44:46,588 --> 03:44:50,910
You know the cpc asked for

6930
03:44:50,910 --> 03:44:50,592
extra time back in 2019.

6931
03:44:50,592 --> 03:44:52,592
Now come forward.

6932
03:44:54,696 --> 03:44:55,831
It's out there.

6933
03:44:55,831 --> 03:44:59,701
We need to say hey, get rid of

6934
03:44:59,701 --> 03:45:00,435
the footnote.

6935
03:45:00,435 --> 03:45:04,350
Get rid of the projects that

6936
03:45:04,639 --> 03:45:05,307
have already been approved void

6937
03:45:05,307 --> 03:45:06,700
them out completely and let

6938
03:45:06,700 --> 03:45:09,607
them try again with the lower

6939
03:45:10,780 --> 03:45:10,779
numbers But they need to have

6940
03:45:10,779 --> 03:45:11,513
an environmental review and we

6941
03:45:11,513 --> 03:45:15,113
need to support the people that

6942
03:45:15,417 --> 03:45:16,840
live in that neighborhood.

6943
03:45:16,840 --> 03:45:19,840
And your time has concluded.

6944
03:45:19,688 --> 03:45:20,589
My apologies Dana Give it after

6945
03:45:20,589 --> 03:45:24,189
that is Jeff Tutor and our

6946
03:45:27,620 --> 03:45:27,562
final speaker 7968.

6947
03:45:27,562 --> 03:45:28,163
>> Thank you.

6948
03:45:28,163 --> 03:45:30,563
The city's timetable to

6949
03:45:31,166 --> 03:45:31,933
finalize repeal of footnote

6950
03:45:31,933 --> 03:45:32,367
seven is a slap in the face to

6951
03:45:32,367 --> 03:45:34,367
Choice Valley.

6952
03:45:36,104 --> 03:45:36,738
The timetables being maximized

6953
03:45:36,738 --> 03:45:39,138
allowing more projects to

6954
03:45:39,942 --> 03:45:40,642
submit plans before footnote

6955
03:45:40,642 --> 03:45:41,209
seven effectively disappears.

6956
03:45:41,209 --> 03:45:43,609
The council should be

6957
03:45:45,800 --> 03:45:45,781
expediting this.

6958
03:45:45,781 --> 03:45:46,515
Additionally, both the Klauber

6959
03:45:46,515 --> 03:45:50,115
and Radio Tower projects are in

6960
03:45:50,585 --> 03:45:51,219
areas designated for future

6961
03:45:51,219 --> 03:45:51,686
parks in the 2015 Encanto

6962
03:45:51,686 --> 03:45:53,686
Community Plan.

6963
03:45:55,457 --> 03:45:56,910
How can the city allow these

6964
03:45:56,910 --> 03:45:56,725
areas to be developed with

6965
03:45:56,725 --> 03:45:58,725
housing without requiring

6966
03:46:00,229 --> 03:46:00,629
community and general plan

6967
03:46:00,629 --> 03:46:01,230
amendments?

6968
03:46:01,230 --> 03:46:03,230
This is unconscionable.

6969
03:46:04,633 --> 03:46:05,334
The city should and the city

6970
03:46:05,334 --> 03:46:05,634
attorney should be looking at

6971
03:46:05,634 --> 03:46:07,634
this.

6972
03:46:09,938 --> 03:46:14,900
I do not believe this would be

6973
03:46:14,900 --> 03:46:14,609
allowed in any other community

6974
03:46:14,609 --> 03:46:15,644
only in district floor.

6975
03:46:15,644 --> 03:46:18,580
>> Thank you for your time and

6976
03:46:18,580 --> 03:46:19,248
consideration.

6977
03:46:19,248 --> 03:46:21,648
>> Next is Jeff Huber.

6978
03:46:28,657 --> 03:46:29,357
If you can please unmute Thank

6979
03:46:29,357 --> 03:46:30,580
you council members and regret

6980
03:46:30,580 --> 03:46:33,195
that I'm not able to attend in

6981
03:46:33,195 --> 03:46:33,929
person today due to an illness

6982
03:46:33,929 --> 03:46:34,596
but I can't emphasize enough

6983
03:46:34,596 --> 03:46:37,596
how important this issue is.

6984
03:46:37,866 --> 03:46:38,566
To reinforce earlier comments

6985
03:46:38,566 --> 03:46:39,268
neighbors for better San Diego

6986
03:46:39,268 --> 03:46:41,268
support staff's recommendation

6987
03:46:42,938 --> 03:46:43,639
to remove footnote seven from

6988
03:46:43,639 --> 03:46:44,139
Table 131 support of the Land

6989
03:46:44,139 --> 03:46:46,139
Development Code.

6990
03:46:47,876 --> 03:46:48,544
However, if we disagree with

6991
03:46:48,544 --> 03:46:49,243
the Planning Department and

6992
03:46:49,243 --> 03:46:51,243
City Attorney's justifications

6993
03:46:52,581 --> 03:46:53,315
for allowing planning projects

6994
03:46:53,315 --> 03:46:56,315
to continue taking advantage of

6995
03:46:57,519 --> 03:46:58,254
Footnote seven regardless of

6996
03:46:58,254 --> 03:46:58,954
whether it was legal, Footnote

6997
03:46:58,954 --> 03:47:01,923
seven was here skillfully and

6998
03:47:01,923 --> 03:47:02,591
deceptively written to skirt

6999
03:47:02,591 --> 03:47:03,250
legal requirements or would

7000
03:47:03,250 --> 03:47:03,725
have required.

7001
03:47:03,725 --> 03:47:06,628
They go through the Community

7002
03:47:06,628 --> 03:47:07,296
Plan amendment process which in

7003
03:47:07,296 --> 03:47:10,296
turn would have required and

7004
03:47:11,667 --> 03:47:12,334
allowed the residents to of

7005
03:47:12,334 --> 03:47:13,680
Choice Valley to negotiate a

7006
03:47:13,680 --> 03:47:15,704
park or other community benefit

7007
03:47:15,704 --> 03:47:16,138
in exchange for the community's

7008
03:47:16,138 --> 03:47:18,138
adopted plan.

7009
03:47:20,642 --> 03:47:24,842
I urge you to not only remove

7010
03:47:25,647 --> 03:47:26,248
Footnote seven but apply that

7011
03:47:26,248 --> 03:47:26,949
removal to other future

7012
03:47:26,949 --> 03:47:27,316
projects and current projects.

7013
03:47:27,316 --> 03:47:29,316
Thank you.

7014
03:47:30,886 --> 03:47:31,653
Thank you.

7015
03:47:31,653 --> 03:47:34,530
>> Our final speaker is 7968.

7016
03:47:44,433 --> 03:47:45,000
If you can please unmute and

7017
03:47:45,000 --> 03:47:45,701
thank you to the quick

7018
03:47:45,701 --> 03:47:46,134
communities ideally coming out

7019
03:47:46,134 --> 03:47:46,835
of two three.

7020
03:47:46,835 --> 03:47:47,536
I don't live in your district.

7021
03:47:47,536 --> 03:47:48,870
Good luck to all of you.

7022
03:47:48,870 --> 03:47:49,938
I'm going from a very tight

7023
03:47:49,938 --> 03:47:54,900
view of this and I want to say

7024
03:47:54,900 --> 03:47:57,900
this This is a beautiful

7025
03:47:58,814 --> 03:47:59,582
historic moment and let's open

7026
03:47:59,582 --> 03:47:59,882
our hearts and our minds to

7027
03:47:59,882 --> 03:48:00,382
this.

7028
03:48:00,382 --> 03:48:02,382
We are stumbling.

7029
03:48:04,530 --> 03:48:04,920
There are human beings together

7030
03:48:04,920 --> 03:48:08,520
figuring out this life and we

7031
03:48:08,824 --> 03:48:09,658
are stumbling.

7032
03:48:09,658 --> 03:48:10,920
So open your hearts and open

7033
03:48:10,920 --> 03:48:12,920
your minds.

7034
03:48:14,496 --> 03:48:15,264
I don't know what the answer is

7035
03:48:15,264 --> 03:48:15,731
going to be but I respect and

7036
03:48:15,731 --> 03:48:17,731
love the answer.

7037
03:48:18,934 --> 03:48:19,568
We're stumbling.

7038
03:48:19,568 --> 03:48:21,968
We're in this together.

7039
03:48:22,771 --> 03:48:26,909
Let's keep it one San Diego one

7040
03:48:26,909 --> 03:48:27,509
people and one dream Win all.

7041
03:48:27,509 --> 03:48:28,143
>> Thank you.

7042
03:48:28,143 --> 03:48:30,543
That concludes our public

7043
03:48:31,130 --> 03:48:31,413
comment And item 331 for

7044
03:48:31,413 --> 03:48:32,140
the record.

7045
03:48:32,140 --> 03:48:35,140
We did receive eight web

7046
03:48:36,510 --> 03:48:36,418
comments in opposition and 24

7047
03:48:36,418 --> 03:48:37,530
in favor.

7048
03:48:37,530 --> 03:48:37,453
Those were distributed to

7049
03:48:37,453 --> 03:48:39,453
the council.

7050
03:48:41,223 --> 03:48:41,991
Thank you.

7051
03:48:41,991 --> 03:48:42,724
>> All right, you city clerk

7052
03:48:42,724 --> 03:48:45,394
Thank you everybody that showed

7053
03:48:45,394 --> 03:48:46,228
up today and participated.

7054
03:48:46,228 --> 03:48:49,828
A special things for me as

7055
03:48:49,899 --> 03:48:50,566
the council PRESIDENT For

7056
03:48:50,566 --> 03:48:51,267
the respectful way that you

7057
03:48:51,267 --> 03:48:51,867
conducted yourselves, you made

7058
03:48:51,867 --> 03:48:54,867
it very clear about your

7059
03:48:55,571 --> 03:48:56,204
passion on this issue but you

7060
03:48:56,204 --> 03:48:56,939
allowed us to move quickly

7061
03:48:56,939 --> 03:49:00,539
through in a fit not quickly,

7062
03:49:00,543 --> 03:49:01,243
efficiently you through that

7063
03:49:01,243 --> 03:49:01,944
And I appreciate those people

7064
03:49:01,944 --> 03:49:05,214
that took the time to call in

7065
03:49:05,214 --> 03:49:06,470
as well.

7066
03:49:06,470 --> 03:49:06,682
So we'll now go to our council

7067
03:49:06,682 --> 03:49:09,820
members for questions and

7068
03:49:09,118 --> 03:49:09,785
comments and entertain a motion

7069
03:49:09,785 --> 03:49:10,219
and we'll start with Council

7070
03:49:10,219 --> 03:49:12,219
member Foster.

7071
03:49:14,523 --> 03:49:15,290
>> Yes, Thank you Council

7072
03:49:15,290 --> 03:49:18,290
PRESIDENT And thank you staff

7073
03:49:19,395 --> 03:49:20,620
for the presentation.

7074
03:49:20,620 --> 03:49:20,796
Also thank you to all

7075
03:49:20,796 --> 03:49:23,796
the district four residents who

7076
03:49:24,233 --> 03:49:24,934
came out today and provided

7077
03:49:24,934 --> 03:49:25,800
public comment on this matter.

7078
03:49:25,800 --> 03:49:29,400
As I have indicated on several

7079
03:49:29,572 --> 03:49:30,206
occasions, I strongly support a

7080
03:49:30,206 --> 03:49:32,206
balanced housing approach

7081
03:49:34,143 --> 03:49:34,810
creating pathways to

7082
03:49:34,810 --> 03:49:35,511
homeownership is critical to

7083
03:49:35,511 --> 03:49:37,911
the sustainability of District

7084
03:49:38,381 --> 03:49:39,140
four and we must continue to

7085
03:49:39,140 --> 03:49:39,748
bring forward options and

7086
03:49:39,748 --> 03:49:42,748
pathways for residents to build

7087
03:49:43,152 --> 03:49:43,586
generational wealth through

7088
03:49:43,586 --> 03:49:44,253
homeownership.

7089
03:49:44,253 --> 03:49:45,210
I have stood by my community

7090
03:49:45,210 --> 03:49:48,210
when it comes to fighting

7091
03:49:48,624 --> 03:49:49,225
the concentration of poverty

7092
03:49:49,225 --> 03:49:49,724
and the hundreds of deed

7093
03:49:49,724 --> 03:49:50,359
restricted units.

7094
03:49:50,359 --> 03:49:52,759
District four continues to

7095
03:49:53,529 --> 03:49:55,529
receive.

7096
03:49:57,266 --> 03:49:57,933
>> I would also like to again

7097
03:49:57,933 --> 03:49:58,634
thank all the District four

7098
03:49:58,634 --> 03:50:01,340
residents and community groups

7099
03:50:02,337 --> 03:50:03,500
as they play a key role in

7100
03:50:03,500 --> 03:50:03,741
the development, growth and

7101
03:50:03,741 --> 03:50:06,141
sustainability of the district.

7102
03:50:06,909 --> 03:50:07,610
And I will always encourage

7103
03:50:07,610 --> 03:50:10,100
planners, developers and city

7104
03:50:11,714 --> 03:50:12,415
staff to engage with our

7105
03:50:12,415 --> 03:50:13,820
community when land use policy

7106
03:50:13,820 --> 03:50:15,482
changes and developments are

7107
03:50:16,586 --> 03:50:17,286
taking place.

7108
03:50:17,286 --> 03:50:17,987
I want to thank the City

7109
03:50:17,987 --> 03:50:20,387
planning staff for presenting

7110
03:50:21,657 --> 03:50:22,258
information concerning this

7111
03:50:22,258 --> 03:50:22,924
land use designation to

7112
03:50:22,924 --> 03:50:25,324
the community and receiving

7113
03:50:26,696 --> 03:50:27,496
their feedback.

7114
03:50:27,496 --> 03:50:28,230
As I have previously previously

7115
03:50:28,230 --> 03:50:32,134
said on this Dyess the lack of

7116
03:50:32,134 --> 03:50:32,802
transparent and see and

7117
03:50:32,802 --> 03:50:33,402
engagement in policy making

7118
03:50:33,402 --> 03:50:35,402
affecting neighborhoods

7119
03:50:36,439 --> 03:50:37,730
especially those historically

7120
03:50:37,730 --> 03:50:37,774
discriminated against like

7121
03:50:37,774 --> 03:50:40,174
District four is unacceptable

7122
03:50:41,878 --> 03:50:42,478
And I continue to share my

7123
03:50:42,478 --> 03:50:43,146
community's concern that

7124
03:50:43,146 --> 03:50:46,146
the process or lack thereof

7125
03:50:46,849 --> 03:50:47,550
regarding footnote seven was

7126
03:50:47,550 --> 03:50:49,950
not transparent and inclusive.

7127
03:50:51,120 --> 03:50:51,787
Also, as indicated by

7128
03:50:51,787 --> 03:50:52,455
the city's current planning

7129
03:50:52,455 --> 03:50:54,855
director Footnote seven was

7130
03:50:55,958 --> 03:50:56,626
that was not done in accordance

7131
03:50:56,626 --> 03:50:56,993
with city policies and best

7132
03:50:56,993 --> 03:50:58,993
practices.

7133
03:51:00,930 --> 03:51:01,563
Hence we are here today.

7134
03:51:01,563 --> 03:51:03,563
Throughout this discussion

7135
03:51:05,501 --> 03:51:06,102
there have been references to

7136
03:51:06,102 --> 03:51:08,102
furthering fair housing.

7137
03:51:10,806 --> 03:51:11,474
>> To be clear, large minimum

7138
03:51:11,474 --> 03:51:12,275
lots do not further fair

7139
03:51:12,275 --> 03:51:14,675
housing in our discriminatory

7140
03:51:15,211 --> 03:51:15,844
as they were designed to keep

7141
03:51:15,844 --> 03:51:17,844
specific individuals from

7142
03:51:19,949 --> 03:51:20,716
moving into a community.

7143
03:51:20,716 --> 03:51:21,417
>> These are policies that we

7144
03:51:21,417 --> 03:51:24,417
must address as they continue

7145
03:51:25,188 --> 03:51:25,822
to be harmful and further

7146
03:51:25,822 --> 03:51:26,489
the economic divide which

7147
03:51:26,489 --> 03:51:28,889
directly impacts quality of

7148
03:51:30,126 --> 03:51:32,126
life and opportunity.

7149
03:51:34,130 --> 03:51:34,731
I recently read a 2024 San

7150
03:51:34,731 --> 03:51:35,398
Diego Law Review article

7151
03:51:35,398 --> 03:51:38,398
Cutting zoning down to size

7152
03:51:39,369 --> 03:51:40,690
revamp due to the legal

7153
03:51:40,690 --> 03:51:42,469
vulnerability of urban minimum

7154
03:51:44,400 --> 03:51:44,741
minimum size lot sizes where

7155
03:51:44,741 --> 03:51:46,741
studies consistently highlight

7156
03:51:47,843 --> 03:51:48,578
how these types of rules hurt

7157
03:51:48,578 --> 03:51:50,578
affordability promote exclusion

7158
03:51:53,616 --> 03:51:54,317
and waste land.

7159
03:51:54,317 --> 03:51:55,151
Here it was indicated that

7160
03:51:55,151 --> 03:51:58,287
large bean in lot size rules

7161
03:51:58,287 --> 03:51:58,955
limit single family home

7162
03:51:58,955 --> 03:52:01,355
ownership, drive up housing

7163
03:52:03,125 --> 03:52:03,793
costs and deepen inequality by

7164
03:52:03,793 --> 03:52:05,793
prioritizing rental focused

7165
03:52:08,163 --> 03:52:08,798
multifamily developments.

7166
03:52:08,798 --> 03:52:09,399
Houston, Texas provided a

7167
03:52:09,399 --> 03:52:11,399
compelling example After

7168
03:52:13,402 --> 03:52:14,103
reducing large minimum lot

7169
03:52:14,103 --> 03:52:14,771
sizes in 1998, the city saw a

7170
03:52:14,771 --> 03:52:17,171
surge in market driven

7171
03:52:18,474 --> 03:52:19,175
investment that revitalized

7172
03:52:19,175 --> 03:52:21,575
aging housing stock, increased

7173
03:52:22,378 --> 03:52:23,120
generational wealth and

7174
03:52:23,120 --> 03:52:23,646
strengthened its tax base.

7175
03:52:23,646 --> 03:52:26,460
Research also reveals that

7176
03:52:27,683 --> 03:52:28,384
the adoption of large minimum

7177
03:52:28,384 --> 03:52:31,984
lot size rules in many cities

7178
03:52:32,255 --> 03:52:32,956
outside the American South

7179
03:52:32,956 --> 03:52:33,523
coincided with the arrival of

7180
03:52:33,523 --> 03:52:35,523
black Americans during

7181
03:52:37,227 --> 03:52:37,760
the second Great Migration and

7182
03:52:37,760 --> 03:52:38,194
the push for school

7183
03:52:38,194 --> 03:52:40,194
desegregation.

7184
03:52:42,965 --> 03:52:43,666
This timing suggest that large

7185
03:52:43,666 --> 03:52:46,350
median lot sizes were not only

7186
03:52:46,350 --> 03:52:46,769
driven by fiscal considerations

7187
03:52:46,769 --> 03:52:49,169
but also served exclusionary,

7188
03:52:51,474 --> 03:52:52,208
racially motivated purposes.

7189
03:52:52,208 --> 03:52:54,608
Frankly, frankly large minimum

7190
03:52:56,479 --> 03:52:57,180
lot sizes are outdated and

7191
03:52:57,180 --> 03:52:57,714
harmful serving as barriers to

7192
03:52:57,714 --> 03:52:59,714
affordability while

7193
03:53:01,551 --> 03:53:01,951
perpetuating exclusion and

7194
03:53:01,951 --> 03:53:03,951
inequality.

7195
03:53:06,656 --> 03:53:07,457
And to be clear I think it is

7196
03:53:07,457 --> 03:53:10,393
we need to know and make sure

7197
03:53:10,393 --> 03:53:10,827
we understand the history of

7198
03:53:10,827 --> 03:53:11,561
District four.

7199
03:53:11,561 --> 03:53:14,497
My family was one of the first

7200
03:53:14,497 --> 03:53:15,265
black black families to move to

7201
03:53:15,265 --> 03:53:18,265
the community and dealt with

7202
03:53:19,636 --> 03:53:20,170
the discrimination firsthand.

7203
03:53:20,170 --> 03:53:22,170
My grandfather built

7204
03:53:24,474 --> 03:53:25,241
the Encanto baseball fields as

7205
03:53:25,241 --> 03:53:28,841
a city would not do it.

7206
03:53:29,746 --> 03:53:30,447
It is clear we need zoning

7207
03:53:30,447 --> 03:53:30,880
reforms that promote equitable

7208
03:53:30,880 --> 03:53:32,880
homeownership.

7209
03:53:34,918 --> 03:53:35,585
>> We must champions zoning

7210
03:53:35,585 --> 03:53:36,152
reforms that prioritize for

7211
03:53:36,152 --> 03:53:38,552
sale homes and promote

7212
03:53:39,789 --> 03:53:40,490
equitable access to

7213
03:53:40,490 --> 03:53:42,490
homeownership citywide making

7214
03:53:44,940 --> 03:53:44,661
our city a place where more

7215
03:53:44,661 --> 03:53:46,661
residents can thrive.

7216
03:53:48,631 --> 03:53:49,232
With that it is ever so

7217
03:53:49,232 --> 03:53:49,866
critical that we support

7218
03:53:49,866 --> 03:53:52,266
balanced for sale housing

7219
03:53:53,970 --> 03:53:54,704
options in district four to

7220
03:53:54,704 --> 03:53:57,104
ensure our sustainability while

7221
03:53:58,541 --> 03:53:58,908
ensuring we preserve community

7222
03:53:58,908 --> 03:53:59,842
character.

7223
03:53:59,842 --> 03:54:03,450
Having said that, we also we

7224
03:54:03,450 --> 03:54:03,780
have also received countless

7225
03:54:03,780 --> 03:54:06,180
public comment from communities

7226
03:54:07,883 --> 03:54:08,518
citywide regarding the city's

7227
03:54:08,518 --> 03:54:10,918
adu density bonus program.

7228
03:54:12,989 --> 03:54:13,723
These provisions go way beyond

7229
03:54:13,723 --> 03:54:16,723
state regulations and are doing

7230
03:54:17,193 --> 03:54:17,661
more harm than good.

7231
03:54:17,661 --> 03:54:19,661
>> Thank you.

7232
03:54:21,898 --> 03:54:22,632
As I spent the past weekend

7233
03:54:22,632 --> 03:54:25,632
celebrating the life and legacy

7234
03:54:26,937 --> 03:54:27,904
of Reverend DR. Martin Luther

7235
03:54:27,904 --> 03:54:31,975
King Jr, I took time to drive

7236
03:54:31,975 --> 03:54:32,609
in cancer and I must say that I

7237
03:54:32,609 --> 03:54:33,310
agree with my community.

7238
03:54:33,310 --> 03:54:36,310
The current adu density bonus

7239
03:54:37,213 --> 03:54:37,914
program as implemented is

7240
03:54:37,914 --> 03:54:38,415
destroying community character

7241
03:54:38,415 --> 03:54:40,415
impacting for sale

7242
03:54:42,219 --> 03:54:42,885
opportunities and potentially

7243
03:54:42,885 --> 03:54:44,885
creating unsafe conditions.

7244
03:54:46,323 --> 03:54:46,890
We must pauses program and

7245
03:54:46,890 --> 03:54:48,890
address all unintended

7246
03:54:49,860 --> 03:54:50,660
consequences and negative

7247
03:54:50,660 --> 03:54:53,600
impacts that are affecting

7248
03:54:55,832 --> 03:54:56,800
communities citywide.

7249
03:54:56,800 --> 03:55:00,400
When I conclude I want to

7250
03:55:00,670 --> 03:55:01,304
indicate that I am in support

7251
03:55:01,304 --> 03:55:01,771
of staff's recommendation

7252
03:55:01,771 --> 03:55:03,771
before us today.

7253
03:55:05,442 --> 03:55:06,176
I will say again we must

7254
03:55:06,176 --> 03:55:06,543
continue to support our working

7255
03:55:06,543 --> 03:55:08,543
families.

7256
03:55:10,313 --> 03:55:10,981
Our skilled and trained

7257
03:55:10,981 --> 03:55:12,981
workforce teachers, nurses,

7258
03:55:15,152 --> 03:55:15,753
firefighters, police officers,

7259
03:55:15,753 --> 03:55:17,753
professionals, mothers,

7260
03:55:20,190 --> 03:55:20,891
fathers, millennials and

7261
03:55:20,891 --> 03:55:21,625
the like who seek to build

7262
03:55:21,625 --> 03:55:24,625
generational wealth and have an

7263
03:55:25,629 --> 03:55:26,296
opportunity tunity to buy, live

7264
03:55:26,296 --> 03:55:29,296
and raise their families in

7265
03:55:30,200 --> 03:55:32,600
District four and citywide.

7266
03:55:34,704 --> 03:55:37,104
>> >> With that I move

7267
03:55:39,142 --> 03:55:39,742
the following approves Das

7268
03:55:39,742 --> 03:55:40,343
recommendation to remove

7269
03:55:40,343 --> 03:55:42,743
the footnote seven from

7270
03:55:44,314 --> 03:55:45,150
the Land Development code and

7271
03:55:45,150 --> 03:55:48,150
to request that city staff

7272
03:55:49,253 --> 03:55:50,153
return to City Council within

7273
03:55:50,153 --> 03:55:50,821
60 days with an action item to

7274
03:55:50,821 --> 03:55:53,221
remove the city's 82 density

7275
03:55:54,791 --> 03:55:55,425
bonus program so that the 82

7276
03:55:55,425 --> 03:55:57,825
program is consistent with

7277
03:55:58,428 --> 03:55:59,129
the state mandated adu

7278
03:55:59,129 --> 03:55:59,563
regulations for single family

7279
03:55:59,563 --> 03:56:01,563
zoned parcels.

7280
03:56:06,737 --> 03:56:07,803
>> I would like to.

7281
03:56:07,803 --> 03:56:11,403
>> I would like to thank my

7282
03:56:11,741 --> 03:56:12,543
fellow council members and ask

7283
03:56:12,543 --> 03:56:13,310
that you stand with me in doing

7284
03:56:13,310 --> 03:56:15,512
what is right for our

7285
03:56:15,512 --> 03:56:16,313
communities.

7286
03:56:16,313 --> 03:56:18,713
>> And Council PRESIDENT This

7287
03:56:20,517 --> 03:56:21,830
concludes my comments.

7288
03:56:21,830 --> 03:56:21,585
>> All right.

7289
03:56:21,585 --> 03:56:23,585
Thank you, sir.

7290
03:56:25,220 --> 03:56:29,222
We'll get that up on the screen

7291
03:56:29,692 --> 03:56:30,661
so everybody understands that.

7292
03:56:30,661 --> 03:56:34,261
And we'll go next to council

7293
03:56:34,698 --> 03:56:35,399
member Campo.

7294
03:56:35,399 --> 03:56:36,233
Thank you, Council PRESIDENT.

7295
03:56:36,233 --> 03:56:39,833
I want to thank everyone who

7296
03:56:39,903 --> 03:56:40,604
came to the meeting.

7297
03:56:40,604 --> 03:56:43,400
Well, first the planning

7298
03:56:43,806 --> 03:56:44,607
commission then all your

7299
03:56:44,607 --> 03:56:47,700
community group meetings then

7300
03:56:49,245 --> 03:56:49,947
to State of the City public

7301
03:56:49,947 --> 03:56:52,947
comment and then today because

7302
03:56:54,151 --> 03:56:54,851
this is a lot of time, effort,

7303
03:56:54,851 --> 03:56:57,988
money out of your pocket that

7304
03:56:57,988 --> 03:56:58,688
you're not working and having

7305
03:56:58,688 --> 03:57:01,688
to find daycare or childcare.

7306
03:57:02,893 --> 03:57:03,594
You've put exceptional effort

7307
03:57:03,594 --> 03:57:06,594
into community concern As I'm

7308
03:57:07,563 --> 03:57:08,231
looking at Councilmember

7309
03:57:08,231 --> 03:57:08,932
Foster's motion approving an

7310
03:57:08,932 --> 03:57:11,932
ordinance to get rid of

7311
03:57:13,270 --> 03:57:14,137
footnotes seven that is clearly

7312
03:57:14,137 --> 03:57:17,737
important and just on its own

7313
03:57:18,408 --> 03:57:19,176
because it's clear that when it

7314
03:57:19,176 --> 03:57:19,610
was put in it was not done

7315
03:57:19,610 --> 03:57:21,610
the right way.

7316
03:57:22,212 --> 03:57:23,130
Planning staff has said that

7317
03:57:23,130 --> 03:57:23,981
that is at the core of why they

7318
03:57:23,981 --> 03:57:27,384
want to get rid of it that it

7319
03:57:27,384 --> 03:57:28,850
was not done the right way.

7320
03:57:28,850 --> 03:57:30,485
That that's undeniably clear.

7321
03:57:32,956 --> 03:57:33,624
The request to return to city

7322
03:57:33,624 --> 03:57:34,323
staff for 60 days with an

7323
03:57:34,323 --> 03:57:34,758
action item to the 80 density

7324
03:57:34,758 --> 03:57:36,758
bonus program.

7325
03:57:37,261 --> 03:57:37,961
I know that my constituents

7326
03:57:37,961 --> 03:57:38,561
have serious serious concerns

7327
03:57:38,561 --> 03:57:40,961
about how that's applied

7328
03:57:41,310 --> 03:57:41,665
throughout the city.

7329
03:57:41,665 --> 03:57:42,299
Councilmember Foster has

7330
03:57:42,299 --> 03:57:44,699
described how this impacts

7331
03:57:46,170 --> 03:57:47,370
the folks here.

7332
03:57:47,370 --> 03:57:47,804
And I'll just say for the folks

7333
03:57:47,804 --> 03:57:51,141
who are at home who can't see

7334
03:57:51,141 --> 03:57:54,741
what we can see down here,

7335
03:57:56,450 --> 03:57:56,747
there are a lot of red eyes and

7336
03:57:56,747 --> 03:57:59,147
wrinkled foreheads And folks

7337
03:58:01,352 --> 03:58:01,952
who are really, really anxious

7338
03:58:01,952 --> 03:58:04,952
for the state of their

7339
03:58:05,522 --> 03:58:08,522
community here angry as well.

7340
03:58:10,160 --> 03:58:10,928
Yes.

7341
03:58:10,928 --> 03:58:13,928
I think that these two

7342
03:58:15,650 --> 03:58:15,866
components right here while

7343
03:58:15,866 --> 03:58:18,866
obviously we also heard folks

7344
03:58:20,571 --> 03:58:21,338
say that a pause on

7345
03:58:21,338 --> 03:58:24,275
the projects is is an ultimate

7346
03:58:24,275 --> 03:58:25,142
goal.

7347
03:58:25,142 --> 03:58:28,742
I think that it is really

7348
03:58:29,213 --> 03:58:29,980
important to understand what

7349
03:58:29,980 --> 03:58:33,580
the city staff said about what

7350
03:58:33,683 --> 03:58:37,283
that means to ask for that

7351
03:58:38,288 --> 03:58:39,356
particular amendment.

7352
03:58:39,356 --> 03:58:42,860
I have to ask our staff these

7353
03:58:42,860 --> 03:58:43,594
items that are at the Club for

7354
03:58:43,594 --> 03:58:46,594
Development and the Radio Tower

7355
03:58:47,698 --> 03:58:48,365
those things those those things

7356
03:58:48,365 --> 03:58:50,765
are discretionary items that

7357
03:58:52,937 --> 03:58:53,604
are not just sailing through

7358
03:58:53,604 --> 03:58:54,203
because we're not mentioning

7359
03:58:54,203 --> 03:58:56,203
them specifically today.

7360
03:58:57,775 --> 03:58:58,442
They do have to come back for

7361
03:58:58,442 --> 03:58:58,909
different votes, don't they?

7362
03:58:58,909 --> 03:59:00,909
That is correct.

7363
03:59:01,745 --> 03:59:02,790
Those items will be separately

7364
03:59:02,790 --> 03:59:04,790
noticed.

7365
03:59:06,500 --> 03:59:06,683
And one of them was heard at

7366
03:59:06,683 --> 03:59:09,830
this council, the Klauber

7367
03:59:09,886 --> 03:59:10,221
appeal and that appeal was

7368
03:59:10,221 --> 03:59:10,921
granted.

7369
03:59:10,921 --> 03:59:14,521
I do anticipate that that item

7370
03:59:14,724 --> 03:59:15,426
will return to this council for

7371
03:59:15,426 --> 03:59:16,930
a decision on the subdivision.

7372
03:59:16,930 --> 03:59:18,493
The Council retains approval

7373
03:59:19,196 --> 03:59:20,164
authority over that subdivision

7374
03:59:20,164 --> 03:59:23,764
and as part of that process

7375
03:59:23,834 --> 03:59:24,535
required findings are required

7376
03:59:24,535 --> 03:59:28,135
under state and local law for

7377
03:59:28,605 --> 03:59:29,273
subdivisions for the D.R.

7378
03:59:29,273 --> 03:59:29,941
Horton Radio Tower Project.

7379
03:59:29,941 --> 03:59:33,541
That item is a process for

7380
03:59:33,644 --> 03:59:34,444
subdivision approval process

7381
03:59:34,444 --> 03:59:34,978
with an appeal right of appeal

7382
03:59:34,978 --> 03:59:35,346
to the city council.

7383
03:59:35,346 --> 03:59:37,346
All right.

7384
03:59:39,500 --> 03:59:39,784
So both of those have to come

7385
03:59:39,784 --> 03:59:40,451
to city council for a vote on

7386
03:59:40,451 --> 03:59:40,918
specific items right there.

7387
03:59:40,918 --> 03:59:42,918
That is correct.

7388
03:59:43,686 --> 03:59:45,686
Okay.

7389
03:59:48,859 --> 03:59:49,460
So what I think you mentioned

7390
03:59:49,460 --> 03:59:51,860
the word notice, right?

7391
03:59:53,497 --> 03:59:57,970
I think that it's important to

7392
03:59:58,200 --> 03:59:58,802
it's important to keep in mind

7393
03:59:58,802 --> 04:00:01,802
that this right here is

7394
04:00:03,607 --> 04:00:04,341
achieving I think it sounds to

7395
04:00:04,341 --> 04:00:07,812
me like two of the three things

7396
04:00:07,812 --> 04:00:08,579
that folks in the chambers want

7397
04:00:08,579 --> 04:00:09,213
And there's one thing left to

7398
04:00:09,213 --> 04:00:11,848
be decided at two separate

7399
04:00:11,848 --> 04:00:12,516
votes because they are two

7400
04:00:12,516 --> 04:00:13,251
different concepts that will

7401
04:00:13,251 --> 04:00:16,251
get deserved attention and look

7402
04:00:17,870 --> 04:00:17,855
at an analysis.

7403
04:00:17,855 --> 04:00:18,623
And and I think that that's

7404
04:00:18,623 --> 04:00:21,392
important for everyone here to

7405
04:00:21,392 --> 04:00:24,992
know as they leave here today

7406
04:00:26,297 --> 04:00:26,564
that that aspect is not baked

7407
04:00:26,564 --> 04:00:28,564
in.

7408
04:00:30,835 --> 04:00:31,535
But I really think that

7409
04:00:31,535 --> 04:00:33,535
Councilmember Foster's motion

7410
04:00:36,373 --> 04:00:37,700
here is a substantial step

7411
04:00:37,700 --> 04:00:37,608
forward towards protecting

7412
04:00:37,608 --> 04:00:40,800
the community of Encanto

7413
04:00:40,378 --> 04:00:41,780
protecting communities in my

7414
04:00:41,780 --> 04:00:41,579
district with especially with

7415
04:00:41,579 --> 04:00:43,579
that second part.

7416
04:00:45,248 --> 04:00:45,950
And I really do want to ask

7417
04:00:45,950 --> 04:00:46,683
about the concept of footnote.

7418
04:00:46,683 --> 04:00:49,353
I know you brought this up at

7419
04:00:49,353 --> 04:00:50,870
Planning Commission at what has

7420
04:00:50,870 --> 04:00:53,870
there been a substantial review

7421
04:00:54,492 --> 04:00:55,125
for any other types of

7422
04:00:55,125 --> 04:00:58,125
footnotes that say in any

7423
04:00:59,130 --> 04:01:00,310
particular community a Zoning

7424
04:01:00,310 --> 04:01:03,133
that is on one map is actually

7425
04:01:03,133 --> 04:01:03,801
not that because that is

7426
04:01:03,801 --> 04:01:06,201
the very most disappointing

7427
04:01:08,639 --> 04:01:09,140
part that such a footnote could

7428
04:01:09,140 --> 04:01:09,840
ever get through.

7429
04:01:09,840 --> 04:01:10,508
Has your staff looked for any

7430
04:01:10,508 --> 04:01:13,508
more of those footnotes that

7431
04:01:13,878 --> 04:01:14,912
actually say just kidding?

7432
04:01:14,912 --> 04:01:18,512
>> rs one two means rs one

7433
04:01:18,983 --> 04:01:19,817
seven.

7434
04:01:19,817 --> 04:01:22,686
>> We have reviewed the land

7435
04:01:22,686 --> 04:01:23,286
development code and we have

7436
04:01:23,286 --> 04:01:23,654
not identified any other

7437
04:01:23,654 --> 04:01:23,955
instances.

7438
04:01:23,955 --> 04:01:25,955
Okay.

7439
04:01:27,358 --> 04:01:29,358
I will.

7440
04:01:32,630 --> 04:01:32,663
>> Besides the two projects on

7441
04:01:32,663 --> 04:01:35,630
Klauber and Radio Tower

7442
04:01:36,901 --> 04:01:37,668
anywhere else in the city.

7443
04:01:37,668 --> 04:01:38,369
What I'm trying to say doesn't

7444
04:01:38,369 --> 04:01:39,137
seem to be that there's any

7445
04:01:39,137 --> 04:01:41,537
other projects relying on

7446
04:01:44,709 --> 04:01:45,343
footnotes to deal with lot size

7447
04:01:45,343 --> 04:01:47,343
density requirements that

7448
04:01:48,812 --> 04:01:49,446
differentiates based on rs one

7449
04:01:49,446 --> 04:01:51,846
whatever rs one whatever.

7450
04:01:53,717 --> 04:01:54,385
>> I don't want to represent to

7451
04:01:54,385 --> 04:01:55,190
you the entirety of the land

7452
04:01:55,190 --> 04:01:55,653
development code but with

7453
04:01:55,653 --> 04:01:58,550
respect to singling out a

7454
04:01:58,550 --> 04:01:58,755
particular community I do not

7455
04:01:58,755 --> 04:01:59,570
believe any additional exist.

7456
04:01:59,570 --> 04:02:01,570
Okay.

7457
04:02:03,194 --> 04:02:03,895
We we really need to make sure

7458
04:02:03,895 --> 04:02:07,932
that that that is the thing is

7459
04:02:07,932 --> 04:02:08,565
that singled out are the two

7460
04:02:08,565 --> 04:02:09,100
key words that people are

7461
04:02:09,100 --> 04:02:11,100
disappointed about.

7462
04:02:11,869 --> 04:02:12,637
And so I think because this

7463
04:02:12,637 --> 04:02:16,237
motion restores a a good amount

7464
04:02:17,175 --> 04:02:17,809
of justice to what's going on

7465
04:02:17,809 --> 04:02:18,509
here, I'm going to second

7466
04:02:18,509 --> 04:02:20,909
the motion from Councilmember

7467
04:02:21,879 --> 04:02:22,647
Foster and I appreciate that.

7468
04:02:22,647 --> 04:02:25,647
So thank you for doing

7469
04:02:25,950 --> 04:02:26,484
the analysis on that.

7470
04:02:26,484 --> 04:02:27,185
Councilmember Foster

7471
04:02:27,185 --> 04:02:29,585
Particularly that second item

7472
04:02:31,220 --> 04:02:31,289
and I'll leave it at that for

7473
04:02:31,289 --> 04:02:31,656
now.

7474
04:02:31,656 --> 04:02:33,656
Thank you.

7475
04:02:36,270 --> 04:02:36,828
We have a motion by Council

7476
04:02:36,828 --> 04:02:37,562
member Foster, a second by

7477
04:02:37,562 --> 04:02:40,163
Councilmember Campo and will go

7478
04:02:40,163 --> 04:02:40,832
to the city attorney.

7479
04:02:40,832 --> 04:02:41,532
Thank you Council PRESIDENT,

7480
04:02:41,532 --> 04:02:44,532
for the clarification of that

7481
04:02:45,236 --> 04:02:46,700
council.

7482
04:02:46,700 --> 04:02:46,771
The item before you today was a

7483
04:02:46,771 --> 04:02:50,274
notice to the public as a

7484
04:02:50,274 --> 04:02:50,575
potential repeal of Footnote

7485
04:02:50,575 --> 04:02:51,543
seven.

7486
04:02:51,543 --> 04:02:55,413
It was not noticed for a few

7487
04:02:55,413 --> 04:02:56,114
bonus issues or anything else.

7488
04:02:56,114 --> 04:02:59,114
The Council certainly can take

7489
04:03:00,510 --> 04:03:00,919
action on those in the future.

7490
04:03:00,919 --> 04:03:01,653
It would just have to be

7491
04:03:01,653 --> 04:03:04,653
noticed for a separate hearing.

7492
04:03:05,189 --> 04:03:05,890
Therefore we recommend that

7493
04:03:05,890 --> 04:03:06,290
the second part of the motion

7494
04:03:06,290 --> 04:03:08,290
be removed.

7495
04:03:10,562 --> 04:03:11,129
Other alternatives could be.

7496
04:03:11,129 --> 04:03:13,529
You can certainly ask

7497
04:03:14,320 --> 04:03:14,799
the mayor's office outside

7498
04:03:14,799 --> 04:03:18,399
the motion to bring back which

7499
04:03:19,504 --> 04:03:20,104
you would like either to

7500
04:03:20,104 --> 04:03:20,804
council or to committee.

7501
04:03:20,804 --> 04:03:24,404
It's just because of the state

7502
04:03:24,475 --> 04:03:25,243
law noticing require ments we

7503
04:03:25,243 --> 04:03:28,843
recommend it not be part of

7504
04:03:29,147 --> 04:03:31,147
the actual motion.

7505
04:03:34,285 --> 04:03:34,819
>> I appreciate the city

7506
04:03:34,819 --> 04:03:36,819
attorney's position.

7507
04:03:38,656 --> 04:03:39,570
However I find it very

7508
04:03:39,570 --> 04:03:39,524
problematic.

7509
04:03:39,524 --> 04:03:41,524
>> We are here.

7510
04:03:43,628 --> 04:03:44,495
We are here discussing footnote

7511
04:03:44,495 --> 04:03:48,950
seven which I think we have

7512
04:03:48,466 --> 04:03:49,166
clearly indicated that

7513
04:03:49,166 --> 04:03:52,166
the process that was followed

7514
04:03:53,571 --> 04:03:54,739
it was okay.

7515
04:03:54,739 --> 04:03:58,209
>> And so I take issue and I

7516
04:03:58,209 --> 04:04:02,409
will I'm I'm say that's how we

7517
04:04:02,480 --> 04:04:03,181
got put into place your right

7518
04:04:03,181 --> 04:04:04,215
let me finish my comments.

7519
04:04:04,215 --> 04:04:07,986
If it was acceptable as we move

7520
04:04:07,986 --> 04:04:11,586
forward as we moved forward and

7521
04:04:12,323 --> 04:04:12,991
we have two projects in India

7522
04:04:12,991 --> 04:04:13,558
application process which I

7523
04:04:13,558 --> 04:04:15,958
understand we do have

7524
04:04:17,395 --> 04:04:18,296
opportunities to review those

7525
04:04:18,296 --> 04:04:21,896
on their own but there's a

7526
04:04:22,660 --> 04:04:22,733
motion on the floor and I would

7527
04:04:22,733 --> 04:04:23,334
request that we call further

7528
04:04:23,334 --> 04:04:25,734
question or have some

7529
04:04:26,838 --> 04:04:27,605
additional dialog.

7530
04:04:27,605 --> 04:04:31,205
And that's where I stand on

7531
04:04:36,810 --> 04:04:37,470
this issue right now.

7532
04:04:37,470 --> 04:04:40,647
>> So to clarify for the value

7533
04:04:41,850 --> 04:04:41,485
the audience I'm supportive of

7534
04:04:41,485 --> 04:04:43,485
the motion.

7535
04:04:46,910 --> 04:04:46,791
I like to manage expectations.

7536
04:04:46,791 --> 04:04:47,324
We don't know what action will

7537
04:04:47,324 --> 04:04:49,324
be brought forward.

7538
04:04:50,495 --> 04:04:51,229
This is not binding on

7539
04:04:51,229 --> 04:04:54,829
the Council with due respect to

7540
04:04:55,333 --> 04:04:56,670
my colleague but it is a way to

7541
04:04:56,670 --> 04:04:59,667
assert a feeling by the Council

7542
04:05:00,204 --> 04:05:01,706
in a stronger way than simply

7543
04:05:01,706 --> 04:05:04,706
asking staff Would you please

7544
04:05:07,112 --> 04:05:07,946
do this?

7545
04:05:07,946 --> 04:05:11,546
Well we'll work with staff in

7546
04:05:12,170 --> 04:05:12,784
terms of your timelines to do

7547
04:05:12,784 --> 04:05:15,784
whatever analysis has to be

7548
04:05:17,622 --> 04:05:18,189
done in whatever scale or scope

7549
04:05:18,189 --> 04:05:20,189
this action requires.

7550
04:05:21,593 --> 04:05:22,260
I have to admit I don't know

7551
04:05:22,260 --> 04:05:25,260
what moving the City density

7552
04:05:26,531 --> 04:05:27,265
bonus program to can be

7553
04:05:27,265 --> 04:05:30,265
consistent with the state's adu

7554
04:05:31,369 --> 04:05:34,369
regulations and the state's adu

7555
04:05:35,907 --> 04:05:36,607
bonus density bonus I think is

7556
04:05:36,607 --> 04:05:37,309
what I'm hearing from my

7557
04:05:37,309 --> 04:05:37,676
colleague if I understand that

7558
04:05:37,676 --> 04:05:39,676
correctly.

7559
04:05:41,645 --> 04:05:45,845
So it is a more structured way

7560
04:05:46,451 --> 04:05:47,180
for the Council to assert our

7561
04:05:47,180 --> 04:05:47,719
legislative authority.

7562
04:05:47,719 --> 04:05:48,420
I think the city Attorney has

7563
04:05:48,420 --> 04:05:50,789
given us good guidance for us

7564
04:05:50,789 --> 04:05:54,989
to hear and then for us to

7565
04:05:55,494 --> 04:05:56,461
decide what we want to do.

7566
04:05:56,461 --> 04:06:00,332
But with that I will go to

7567
04:06:00,332 --> 04:06:01,660
council Bloomberg.

7568
04:06:01,660 --> 04:06:04,666
Thank you and thank you to

7569
04:06:05,437 --> 04:06:06,138
everyone who commented today.

7570
04:06:06,138 --> 04:06:06,771
Thank you for this discussion.

7571
04:06:06,771 --> 04:06:09,771
Thank you to Victoria who

7572
04:06:10,442 --> 04:06:11,176
called in from Scripps Ranch

7573
04:06:11,176 --> 04:06:11,843
Planning Group in Scripps Ranch

7574
04:06:11,843 --> 04:06:15,347
has quite a few issues with

7575
04:06:15,347 --> 04:06:16,181
the bonus edu program as well.

7576
04:06:16,181 --> 04:06:16,882
I know we're not noted to

7577
04:06:16,882 --> 04:06:19,251
discuss that today so I won't

7578
04:06:19,251 --> 04:06:19,951
go further than that but my

7579
04:06:19,951 --> 04:06:20,619
community also has issues with

7580
04:06:20,619 --> 04:06:21,253
this program as well so I'm

7581
04:06:21,253 --> 04:06:24,253
going to be supportive of

7582
04:06:24,723 --> 04:06:25,390
the motion as well.

7583
04:06:25,390 --> 04:06:26,240
I understand the concern it

7584
04:06:26,240 --> 04:06:26,691
wasn't noticed but this is

7585
04:06:26,691 --> 04:06:29,691
merely a request We're not

7586
04:06:29,694 --> 04:06:30,662
amending the law today.

7587
04:06:30,662 --> 04:06:34,533
So I see that we can make this

7588
04:06:34,533 --> 04:06:35,300
request in the motion and of

7589
04:06:35,300 --> 04:06:35,867
course I want to hear more

7590
04:06:35,867 --> 04:06:36,500
about the discussion.

7591
04:06:36,500 --> 04:06:36,902
I'm not committing my vote

7592
04:06:36,902 --> 04:06:37,302
either way.

7593
04:06:37,302 --> 04:06:38,904
I never do.

7594
04:06:38,904 --> 04:06:39,738
I had a discussion.

7595
04:06:39,738 --> 04:06:43,709
I also want to know more about

7596
04:06:43,709 --> 04:06:44,409
new state laws that I know are

7597
04:06:44,409 --> 04:06:44,910
coming down with mandates that

7598
04:06:44,910 --> 04:06:45,544
are affecting us.

7599
04:06:45,544 --> 04:06:46,278
So that's what I'd love to

7600
04:06:46,278 --> 04:06:47,440
learn more about as we do this

7601
04:06:47,440 --> 04:06:47,679
And I think Councilmember

7602
04:06:47,679 --> 04:06:50,790
Foster for bringing this

7603
04:06:51,750 --> 04:06:52,517
forward.

7604
04:06:52,517 --> 04:06:53,118
>> We'll go next to

7605
04:06:53,118 --> 04:06:53,652
Councilmember Campbell.

7606
04:06:53,652 --> 04:06:56,520
Thank you very much.

7607
04:06:57,880 --> 04:06:57,823
And thanks to my colleagues And

7608
04:06:57,823 --> 04:07:00,223
thank you Councilmember Foster.

7609
04:07:02,930 --> 04:07:02,794
I have ever since the density

7610
04:07:02,794 --> 04:07:06,394
bonus program in the city was

7611
04:07:06,765 --> 04:07:07,432
passed which far out does

7612
04:07:07,432 --> 04:07:10,432
the state program about use?

7613
04:07:12,700 --> 04:07:15,670
I my constituents have been so

7614
04:07:16,708 --> 04:07:17,576
upset and the material ization

7615
04:07:17,576 --> 04:07:18,443
of small little box on top of

7616
04:07:18,443 --> 04:07:21,280
small little box on top of

7617
04:07:21,280 --> 04:07:24,280
small little bugs called them

7618
04:07:25,817 --> 04:07:26,518
to use and one on one one

7619
04:07:26,518 --> 04:07:30,118
affordable one not and you can

7620
04:07:30,488 --> 04:07:31,256
double your money and it's just

7621
04:07:31,256 --> 04:07:32,240
we're having a terrible time in

7622
04:07:32,240 --> 04:07:35,624
district two with this and I

7623
04:07:35,994 --> 04:07:36,962
totally agree that this has got

7624
04:07:36,962 --> 04:07:40,199
to be reviewed and I, I agree

7625
04:07:40,199 --> 04:07:40,965
with my colleague Von Wilpert

7626
04:07:40,965 --> 04:07:43,965
who's an excellent attorney and

7627
04:07:45,604 --> 04:07:46,271
also here well, we're lucky We

7628
04:07:46,271 --> 04:07:48,671
have excellent attorneys all

7629
04:07:50,242 --> 04:07:51,210
around us here And I agree this

7630
04:07:51,210 --> 04:07:55,180
is only a request So I think it

7631
04:07:55,180 --> 04:07:58,780
would pass the muster And then

7632
04:07:59,351 --> 04:07:59,985
when it comes back in 60 days

7633
04:07:59,985 --> 04:08:00,685
let's hope everybody knows

7634
04:08:00,685 --> 04:08:04,123
about it ahead of time, thinks

7635
04:08:04,123 --> 04:08:04,923
about it, reads it and digests

7636
04:08:04,923 --> 04:08:08,523
it because this is very, very

7637
04:08:08,960 --> 04:08:09,461
important about keeping

7638
04:08:09,461 --> 04:08:10,950
the quality of our

7639
04:08:10,950 --> 04:08:12,495
neighborhoods in our city.

7640
04:08:13,364 --> 04:08:13,766
So thank you very much.

7641
04:08:13,766 --> 04:08:15,766
>> Okay.

7642
04:08:18,800 --> 04:08:18,174
We're almost there.

7643
04:08:18,174 --> 04:08:18,340
Come on.

7644
04:08:18,340 --> 04:08:18,505
We'll go next to Councilmember

7645
04:08:18,505 --> 04:08:19,710
Whitburn.

7646
04:08:19,710 --> 04:08:19,805
Council PRESIDENT Just one

7647
04:08:19,805 --> 04:08:20,472
request I would request that we

7648
04:08:20,472 --> 04:08:23,472
bifurcate the motion if we

7649
04:08:25,310 --> 04:08:26,111
could please.

7650
04:08:26,111 --> 04:08:26,845
We have a motion on the floor.

7651
04:08:26,845 --> 04:08:27,913
You'd have to ask the makers of

7652
04:08:27,913 --> 04:08:31,513
the motion So I'm not willing

7653
04:08:32,150 --> 04:08:32,518
to bifurcate.

7654
04:08:32,518 --> 04:08:33,510
Come on.

7655
04:08:33,510 --> 04:08:35,510
We're almost there.

7656
04:08:37,356 --> 04:08:37,656
We're almost there.

7657
04:08:37,656 --> 04:08:39,656
Okay.

7658
04:08:42,361 --> 04:08:42,661
Councilmember Lee Oh, excuse

7659
04:08:42,661 --> 04:08:43,362
me.

7660
04:08:43,362 --> 04:08:44,630
Council PRESIDENT Pro Tem Lee

7661
04:08:44,630 --> 04:08:47,630
Thank yous PRESIDENT Thank you

7662
04:08:47,365 --> 04:08:47,733
for the presentation today on

7663
04:08:47,733 --> 04:08:48,400
this item.

7664
04:08:48,400 --> 04:08:49,101
We've certainly heard a lot

7665
04:08:49,101 --> 04:08:49,435
about it in the last couple of

7666
04:08:49,435 --> 04:08:51,370
months.

7667
04:08:51,370 --> 04:08:51,970
I want to thank the planning

7668
04:08:51,970 --> 04:08:52,671
Department for good due

7669
04:08:52,671 --> 04:08:55,671
diligence in amending the land

7670
04:08:56,241 --> 04:08:57,420
development code when this

7671
04:08:57,420 --> 04:08:57,743
issue was brought up to

7672
04:08:57,743 --> 04:09:00,743
the city's attention as those

7673
04:09:01,580 --> 04:09:01,880
in the public might be able to

7674
04:09:01,880 --> 04:09:02,614
tell.

7675
04:09:02,614 --> 04:09:03,315
I know some requested that this

7676
04:09:03,315 --> 04:09:05,718
happen as quickly as possible

7677
04:09:05,718 --> 04:09:06,484
and our planning department

7678
04:09:06,484 --> 04:09:07,850
actually does quite a lot And I

7679
04:09:07,850 --> 04:09:07,786
think when you look at

7680
04:09:07,786 --> 04:09:11,230
the substance of the item it's

7681
04:09:11,230 --> 04:09:11,423
not just as simple as removing

7682
04:09:11,423 --> 04:09:12,123
a footnote.

7683
04:09:12,123 --> 04:09:15,123
You've done some due diligence

7684
04:09:15,861 --> 04:09:16,562
in terms of checking with each

7685
04:09:16,562 --> 04:09:19,765
cd, I believe and our relevant

7686
04:09:19,765 --> 04:09:20,499
state officials to ensure that

7687
04:09:20,499 --> 04:09:21,660
this will comply moving forward

7688
04:09:21,660 --> 04:09:21,500
with the changes that

7689
04:09:21,500 --> 04:09:23,500
the planning.

7690
04:09:24,403 --> 04:09:25,370
That was a significant portion

7691
04:09:25,370 --> 04:09:25,871
of the backup material.

7692
04:09:25,871 --> 04:09:29,471
>> So I just wanted to confirm

7693
04:09:29,842 --> 04:09:30,543
that Once again we had

7694
04:09:30,543 --> 04:09:32,943
originally conferred with each

7695
04:09:33,646 --> 04:09:34,380
city and then our our city

7696
04:09:34,380 --> 04:09:36,780
attorney colleagues did confirm

7697
04:09:38,384 --> 04:09:39,180
to us separately that we would

7698
04:09:39,180 --> 04:09:41,180
be consistent generally

7699
04:09:43,789 --> 04:09:44,390
speaking with based on

7700
04:09:44,390 --> 04:09:45,900
the advice from the city

7701
04:09:45,900 --> 04:09:47,725
attorney's office that we were

7702
04:09:47,725 --> 04:09:48,427
able to move forward with

7703
04:09:48,427 --> 04:09:49,161
the removal of the amendment.

7704
04:09:49,161 --> 04:09:52,161
So we did later withdraw

7705
04:09:52,998 --> 04:09:53,399
the requests from city.

7706
04:09:53,399 --> 04:09:53,699
Understood.

7707
04:09:53,699 --> 04:09:54,400
Okay.

7708
04:09:54,400 --> 04:09:54,733
Thank you for clarifying that

7709
04:09:54,733 --> 04:09:56,733
as well.

7710
04:09:57,736 --> 04:09:58,304
I do And I also think

7711
04:09:58,304 --> 04:09:59,400
the public commenters

7712
04:09:59,400 --> 04:09:59,738
specifically all the residents

7713
04:09:59,738 --> 04:10:03,800
of Encanto for your advocacy to

7714
04:10:03,800 --> 04:10:03,676
correct this decision a

7715
04:10:03,676 --> 04:10:04,343
decision that at the time of

7716
04:10:04,343 --> 04:10:07,343
its adoption was frankly not

7717
04:10:07,713 --> 04:10:08,447
representative of the best

7718
04:10:08,447 --> 04:10:09,480
planning or land use practices.

7719
04:10:09,480 --> 04:10:11,448
>> You've heard the city

7720
04:10:11,817 --> 04:10:12,585
acknowledge that I think I too

7721
04:10:12,585 --> 04:10:13,219
like you have been asking how

7722
04:10:13,219 --> 04:10:16,755
that came out about to be.

7723
04:10:16,755 --> 04:10:17,489
But I also can tell you that

7724
04:10:17,489 --> 04:10:18,190
the folks in planning today are

7725
04:10:18,190 --> 04:10:18,557
not the ones that were here at

7726
04:10:18,557 --> 04:10:19,492
that time.

7727
04:10:19,492 --> 04:10:22,261
And so as much as as as that

7728
04:10:22,261 --> 04:10:22,962
might be something that we all

7729
04:10:22,962 --> 04:10:23,696
want understanding of, I think

7730
04:10:23,696 --> 04:10:27,660
how we move forward is probably

7731
04:10:27,660 --> 04:10:27,633
just as important as well.

7732
04:10:27,633 --> 04:10:28,334
I'm happy to support

7733
04:10:28,334 --> 04:10:31,334
the removal of Footnote seven

7734
04:10:32,203 --> 04:10:32,838
to restore the 20,000 square

7735
04:10:32,838 --> 04:10:33,405
foot minimum lot size that

7736
04:10:33,405 --> 04:10:34,600
matches the densities

7737
04:10:34,600 --> 04:10:36,406
designated in the Canton

7738
04:10:36,942 --> 04:10:37,510
neighborhoods Community plan

7739
04:10:37,510 --> 04:10:38,244
area and which is also

7740
04:10:38,244 --> 04:10:40,644
consistent with the application

7741
04:10:41,714 --> 04:10:42,810
of development regulations

7742
04:10:42,810 --> 04:10:42,882
citywide.

7743
04:10:42,882 --> 04:10:43,482
I will note I want to thank

7744
04:10:43,482 --> 04:10:45,482
Councilmember Foster for

7745
04:10:46,318 --> 04:10:46,986
talking about just the issue of

7746
04:10:46,986 --> 04:10:49,986
minimum lot size in general.

7747
04:10:51,157 --> 04:10:51,824
I think I think for this

7748
04:10:51,824 --> 04:10:52,558
footnote the most egregious

7749
04:10:52,558 --> 04:10:56,127
component of it is what some of

7750
04:10:56,127 --> 04:10:56,996
you have pointed out.

7751
04:10:56,996 --> 04:11:00,596
It is the specificity in which

7752
04:11:01,670 --> 04:11:03,803
it was applied only to specific

7753
04:11:03,803 --> 04:11:04,603
neighborhoods even despite

7754
04:11:04,603 --> 04:11:05,304
the rs 1-2 zoning being used in

7755
04:11:05,304 --> 04:11:07,304
other neighborhoods throughout

7756
04:11:09,141 --> 04:11:10,800
the city.

7757
04:11:10,800 --> 04:11:10,710
Now if this was an attempt to

7758
04:11:10,710 --> 04:11:14,213
apply that across the city we

7759
04:11:14,213 --> 04:11:14,880
might still have the same

7760
04:11:14,880 --> 04:11:15,281
arguments of whether that's

7761
04:11:15,281 --> 04:11:15,981
appropriate.

7762
04:11:15,981 --> 04:11:16,582
But I would I would argue that

7763
04:11:16,582 --> 04:11:19,285
is actually a much more

7764
04:11:19,285 --> 04:11:19,986
relevant way to approach a

7765
04:11:19,986 --> 04:11:22,386
significant zoning change here

7766
04:11:23,489 --> 04:11:24,256
with a zoning designation like

7767
04:11:24,256 --> 04:11:24,924
this as opposed to doing it

7768
04:11:24,924 --> 04:11:25,658
with within one community As

7769
04:11:25,658 --> 04:11:28,658
many folks probably know in

7770
04:11:29,610 --> 04:11:29,629
this room I have been a strong

7771
04:11:29,629 --> 04:11:30,363
advocate for housing.

7772
04:11:30,363 --> 04:11:33,399
I would not like to see that go

7773
04:11:33,399 --> 04:11:34,200
away but also would like to see

7774
04:11:34,200 --> 04:11:34,767
that fairly applied to high and

7775
04:11:34,767 --> 04:11:35,468
highest resource areas

7776
04:11:35,468 --> 04:11:37,670
throughout the city including

7777
04:11:37,670 --> 04:11:38,237
within my own community as

7778
04:11:38,237 --> 04:11:38,905
opposed to focused in

7779
04:11:38,905 --> 04:11:40,905
communities especially that

7780
04:11:42,175 --> 04:11:42,475
have been red line in the past

7781
04:11:42,475 --> 04:11:44,475
.

7782
04:11:47,790 --> 04:11:47,913
I appreciate that but I'll also

7783
04:11:47,913 --> 04:11:51,513
want to address the second item

7784
04:11:52,484 --> 04:11:53,190
that is attached here to

7785
04:11:53,190 --> 04:11:53,753
the motion at hand.

7786
04:11:53,753 --> 04:11:57,353
I also heard from the city

7787
04:11:57,924 --> 04:11:58,558
attorney I will admit when I

7788
04:11:58,558 --> 04:11:59,191
first saw it I also was a

7789
04:11:59,191 --> 04:11:59,925
little bit concerned about

7790
04:11:59,925 --> 04:12:02,395
where it fell within our notice

7791
04:12:02,395 --> 04:12:02,995
guidelines.

7792
04:12:02,995 --> 04:12:03,563
But you understand that

7793
04:12:03,563 --> 04:12:05,963
the wording here is

7794
04:12:08,134 --> 04:12:08,801
specifically that a request is

7795
04:12:08,801 --> 04:12:11,470
being made to staff lessee I

7796
04:12:11,470 --> 04:12:12,238
don't know if you could clarify

7797
04:12:12,238 --> 04:12:15,838
in your opinion if that allows

7798
04:12:16,576 --> 04:12:17,243
us some leeway if there are

7799
04:12:17,243 --> 04:12:17,877
concerns about ramifications

7800
04:12:17,877 --> 04:12:18,478
moving forward, I would at

7801
04:12:18,478 --> 04:12:19,812
least like to know to

7802
04:12:19,812 --> 04:12:22,212
the public what those

7803
04:12:24,550 --> 04:12:26,950
ramifications might look like.

7804
04:12:28,587 --> 04:12:29,322
The issue is that the second

7805
04:12:29,322 --> 04:12:30,230
part of the motion includes an

7806
04:12:30,230 --> 04:12:32,423
entirely different topic that

7807
04:12:34,160 --> 04:12:34,460
wasn't in front of the council

7808
04:12:34,460 --> 04:12:35,294
today.

7809
04:12:35,294 --> 04:12:35,995
So I would be remiss if I did

7810
04:12:35,995 --> 04:12:38,164
not advise you that under

7811
04:12:38,164 --> 04:12:38,831
the Brown Act all that's in

7812
04:12:38,831 --> 04:12:39,131
front of you is the footnote

7813
04:12:39,131 --> 04:12:39,765
seven.

7814
04:12:39,765 --> 04:12:41,868
However, this Council can

7815
04:12:41,868 --> 04:12:44,268
certainly bring back anything

7816
04:12:47,406 --> 04:12:47,707
else that it would like.

7817
04:12:47,707 --> 04:12:48,374
Okay.

7818
04:12:48,374 --> 04:12:51,374
Thank you for the guidance.

7819
04:12:52,178 --> 04:12:52,844
Clear as clear water I guess in

7820
04:12:52,844 --> 04:12:53,512
this particular case But but

7821
04:12:53,512 --> 04:12:54,213
that is that is the guidance

7822
04:12:54,213 --> 04:12:56,416
that I think is appropriate to

7823
04:12:56,416 --> 04:12:57,116
given if we didn't hear that, I

7824
04:12:57,116 --> 04:12:57,984
think that would that would be

7825
04:12:57,984 --> 04:13:01,387
remiss if you do not provide it

7826
04:13:01,387 --> 04:13:02,210
to us if we're going to talk

7827
04:13:02,210 --> 04:13:04,421
about the 80 density bonus

7828
04:13:06,959 --> 04:13:07,660
program as a whole as well of

7829
04:13:07,660 --> 04:13:08,394
course Chair the Land Use and

7830
04:13:08,394 --> 04:13:10,263
housing committee for the city,

7831
04:13:10,263 --> 04:13:10,963
I will note that I think

7832
04:13:10,963 --> 04:13:11,664
there's been many discussions

7833
04:13:11,664 --> 04:13:12,298
whether it's behind the scenes

7834
04:13:12,298 --> 04:13:14,698
on this council certainly

7835
04:13:14,867 --> 04:13:15,501
hearing from the public that

7836
04:13:15,501 --> 04:13:16,350
the density program bonus

7837
04:13:16,350 --> 04:13:18,435
program has had some

7838
04:13:20,139 --> 04:13:20,840
significant issues and folks

7839
04:13:20,840 --> 04:13:21,541
have shared several egregious

7840
04:13:21,541 --> 04:13:24,541
examples of the application of

7841
04:13:25,311 --> 04:13:26,179
that.

7842
04:13:26,179 --> 04:13:26,879
I will only fairly note to you

7843
04:13:26,879 --> 04:13:29,279
that 80 density bonus program

7844
04:13:29,315 --> 04:13:30,160
has also been used and not just

7845
04:13:30,160 --> 04:13:30,650
in District four but in areas

7846
04:13:30,650 --> 04:13:33,650
throughout the city to add

7847
04:13:34,287 --> 04:13:34,988
additional housing and not

7848
04:13:34,988 --> 04:13:35,555
always in the egregious manner

7849
04:13:35,555 --> 04:13:37,955
that folks have seen.

7850
04:13:39,580 --> 04:13:39,759
I can probably agree with you

7851
04:13:39,759 --> 04:13:42,759
that seeing a 40 unit building

7852
04:13:43,896 --> 04:13:44,664
pop up in a single family

7853
04:13:44,664 --> 04:13:45,465
parcel right next to you is

7854
04:13:45,465 --> 04:13:48,465
alarming for a million reasons

7855
04:13:49,702 --> 04:13:50,336
and that's not going to be

7856
04:13:50,336 --> 04:13:51,370
the same and we should not

7857
04:13:51,370 --> 04:13:54,173
compare it as the same as when

7858
04:13:54,173 --> 04:13:54,841
it is applied in other areas in

7859
04:13:54,841 --> 04:13:55,475
much smaller capacities That

7860
04:13:55,475 --> 04:13:58,311
MAY still not be okay with

7861
04:13:58,311 --> 04:13:59,780
folks Some folks in this room

7862
04:13:59,780 --> 04:13:59,379
but that do add housing to our

7863
04:13:59,379 --> 04:14:01,379
stock.

7864
04:14:03,816 --> 04:14:04,551
One of the issues that has been

7865
04:14:04,551 --> 04:14:05,218
brought up about the program in

7866
04:14:05,218 --> 04:14:07,850
the past and reported on by

7867
04:14:07,850 --> 04:14:07,754
the media is whether it's

7868
04:14:07,754 --> 04:14:08,454
actually delivering the very

7869
04:14:08,454 --> 04:14:11,454
low and low income affordable

7870
04:14:12,525 --> 04:14:13,326
housing opportunities that we'd

7871
04:14:13,326 --> 04:14:13,994
like to see And that has not

7872
04:14:13,994 --> 04:14:16,994
necessarily been the case in

7873
04:14:17,300 --> 04:14:17,664
the program but it has

7874
04:14:17,664 --> 04:14:18,331
delivered moderate income

7875
04:14:18,331 --> 04:14:21,931
housing in a city where when

7876
04:14:22,669 --> 04:14:23,436
you look at the reports that we

7877
04:14:23,436 --> 04:14:24,203
take a look at year after year

7878
04:14:24,203 --> 04:14:27,203
we often don't get moderate

7879
04:14:27,806 --> 04:14:28,508
income housing in any

7880
04:14:28,508 --> 04:14:29,700
productive way unless it just

7881
04:14:29,700 --> 04:14:31,700
naturally happens.

7882
04:14:31,844 --> 04:14:32,512
And so I will say that there

7883
04:14:32,512 --> 04:14:33,146
has been some value to that

7884
04:14:33,146 --> 04:14:33,445
program that we should not

7885
04:14:33,445 --> 04:14:35,445
deny.

7886
04:14:36,648 --> 04:14:37,350
At the same time as we're

7887
04:14:37,350 --> 04:14:37,751
considering the detriments to

7888
04:14:37,751 --> 04:14:39,751
it as well.

7889
04:14:41,887 --> 04:14:42,522
So with that said, I would I

7890
04:14:42,522 --> 04:14:43,123
would not personally jump

7891
04:14:43,123 --> 04:14:46,123
straight to the idea of

7892
04:14:46,693 --> 04:14:47,293
removing the program entirely

7893
04:14:47,293 --> 04:14:48,610
because we haven't even

7894
04:14:48,610 --> 04:14:51,661
conducted I believe a review of

7895
04:14:51,765 --> 04:14:52,632
the program and its function at

7896
04:14:52,632 --> 04:14:55,835
least since my time here on

7897
04:14:55,835 --> 04:14:56,436
the Council and I think it

7898
04:14:56,436 --> 04:14:58,836
deserves that review and

7899
04:15:00,340 --> 04:15:01,410
the potential for any revisions

7900
04:15:01,410 --> 04:15:01,374
that could be made moving

7901
04:15:01,374 --> 04:15:03,374
forward.

7902
04:15:03,776 --> 04:15:04,477
I'll take my additional three

7903
04:15:04,477 --> 04:15:05,111
minutes but in this particular

7904
04:15:05,111 --> 04:15:05,812
case I do understand that

7905
04:15:05,812 --> 04:15:08,212
Councilmember Foster is simply

7906
04:15:08,982 --> 04:15:09,683
making the request that staff

7907
04:15:09,683 --> 04:15:10,649
return to this as a potential

7908
04:15:10,649 --> 04:15:14,540
item that we might discuss at a

7909
04:15:14,540 --> 04:15:14,754
council and that I will respect

7910
04:15:14,754 --> 04:15:17,754
given the magnitude of this

7911
04:15:17,890 --> 04:15:18,725
overall conversation.

7912
04:15:18,725 --> 04:15:19,325
I just wanted to stay very

7913
04:15:19,325 --> 04:15:22,325
clear for the record My

7914
04:15:23,290 --> 04:15:23,630
positioning when it comes to

7915
04:15:23,630 --> 04:15:24,297
how we approach housing

7916
04:15:24,297 --> 04:15:24,931
decisions and that even for

7917
04:15:24,931 --> 04:15:27,331
something like the density

7918
04:15:28,201 --> 04:15:28,768
bonus program I'm very happy to

7919
04:15:28,768 --> 04:15:29,469
have that discussion.

7920
04:15:29,469 --> 04:15:32,706
But again I would not jump to

7921
04:15:32,706 --> 04:15:33,272
simply removing it without

7922
04:15:33,272 --> 04:15:33,907
understanding the full

7923
04:15:33,907 --> 04:15:34,307
ramifications of what that

7924
04:15:34,307 --> 04:15:34,908
looks like.

7925
04:15:34,908 --> 04:15:38,110
So with that said I will

7926
04:15:38,110 --> 04:15:38,844
conclude my time.

7927
04:15:38,844 --> 04:15:39,445
Thank you to Councilmember

7928
04:15:39,445 --> 04:15:39,813
Foster for your work on

7929
04:15:39,813 --> 04:15:40,180
the same.

7930
04:15:40,180 --> 04:15:42,180
All right.

7931
04:15:42,315 --> 04:15:43,160
Councilmember Moreno, thank you

7932
04:15:43,160 --> 04:15:46,160
for the presentation and thank

7933
04:15:46,620 --> 04:15:47,120
you to all the members that

7934
04:15:47,120 --> 04:15:47,988
came out today.

7935
04:15:47,988 --> 04:15:52,250
I just want to be very clear

7936
04:15:52,250 --> 04:15:52,926
that I absolutely do support

7937
04:15:52,926 --> 04:15:57,126
the motion on the floor but I

7938
04:15:57,364 --> 04:15:58,970
also want to be clear about

7939
04:15:58,970 --> 04:16:01,902
the fact that I'm going to have

7940
04:16:01,902 --> 04:16:02,636
to consider any any changes to

7941
04:16:02,636 --> 04:16:03,303
the adu program separately from

7942
04:16:03,303 --> 04:16:04,970
the action before us today.

7943
04:16:04,970 --> 04:16:05,572
But I will be supporting

7944
04:16:05,572 --> 04:16:08,572
the motion on the floor.

7945
04:16:10,377 --> 04:16:11,144
>> Thank you.

7946
04:16:11,144 --> 04:16:11,478
We'll go back to Council member

7947
04:16:11,478 --> 04:16:13,478
Whipper.

7948
04:16:14,800 --> 04:16:14,847
Thank you very much.

7949
04:16:14,847 --> 04:16:17,247
Council PRESIDENT I strongly

7950
04:16:18,351 --> 04:16:21,351
support the first part of

7951
04:16:21,855 --> 04:16:22,656
the motion removing Footnote

7952
04:16:22,656 --> 04:16:26,256
seven I am very hesitant to

7953
04:16:26,326 --> 04:16:26,960
support a part of the motion

7954
04:16:26,960 --> 04:16:27,661
that the city Attorney has

7955
04:16:27,661 --> 04:16:30,610
specifically advised the City

7956
04:16:31,297 --> 04:16:34,297
Council violates the Brown Act.

7957
04:16:36,103 --> 04:16:36,870
I would ask the city Attorney

7958
04:16:36,870 --> 04:16:41,700
and one of the reasons that I

7959
04:16:41,107 --> 04:16:41,807
hesitate is because if

7960
04:16:41,807 --> 04:16:42,509
the second part of the motion

7961
04:16:42,509 --> 04:16:45,444
is found to violate the Brown

7962
04:16:45,444 --> 04:16:46,112
Act and is thrown out, that

7963
04:16:46,112 --> 04:16:46,847
would invalidate the entire

7964
04:16:46,847 --> 04:16:50,317
motion And I don't think that's

7965
04:16:50,317 --> 04:16:51,284
what anybody here wants to see.

7966
04:16:51,284 --> 04:16:55,484
So let me ask the city attorney

7967
04:16:55,622 --> 04:16:56,289
if the second part of this

7968
04:16:56,289 --> 04:16:59,326
motion were found to be in

7969
04:16:59,326 --> 04:16:59,993
violation of the Brown Act,

7970
04:16:59,993 --> 04:17:00,694
would it in fact invalidate

7971
04:17:00,694 --> 04:17:04,294
the entire motion or how would

7972
04:17:04,398 --> 04:17:06,398
that be handled?

7973
04:17:09,669 --> 04:17:10,337
>> >> I can't completely answer

7974
04:17:10,337 --> 04:17:11,710
that question because that's

7975
04:17:11,710 --> 04:17:14,541
something that would be up to a

7976
04:17:14,541 --> 04:17:15,175
court to decide if someone

7977
04:17:15,175 --> 04:17:18,175
filed a lawsuit alleging a

7978
04:17:19,645 --> 04:17:22,645
Brown Act violation, then it

7979
04:17:24,184 --> 04:17:24,818
would be possible that

7980
04:17:24,818 --> 04:17:25,319
the court could invalidate

7981
04:17:25,319 --> 04:17:27,319
the whole motion.

7982
04:17:29,623 --> 04:17:30,123
But I can't speak to that.

7983
04:17:30,123 --> 04:17:30,424
>> I'm sorry.

7984
04:17:30,424 --> 04:17:32,424
Okay.

7985
04:17:34,428 --> 04:17:35,950
I think it would be safer for

7986
04:17:35,950 --> 04:17:35,662
everybody here to bifurcate

7987
04:17:35,662 --> 04:17:38,662
the motion and lock in

7988
04:17:39,600 --> 04:17:40,300
the repeal of footnotes seven

7989
04:17:40,300 --> 04:17:43,503
and deal with the second part

7990
04:17:43,503 --> 04:17:44,438
of the motion separately.

7991
04:17:44,438 --> 04:17:48,380
But I will support the motion

7992
04:17:49,760 --> 04:17:52,676
and if people want to take

7993
04:17:53,713 --> 04:17:54,381
their chances okay,

7994
04:17:54,381 --> 04:17:56,381
Councilmember Gilbert, thank

7995
04:17:58,352 --> 04:17:59,119
you very much.

7996
04:17:59,119 --> 04:18:02,719
A couple of things to add.

7997
04:18:02,990 --> 04:18:03,590
One is it showed we could if

7998
04:18:03,590 --> 04:18:04,291
there were a Brown Act

7999
04:18:04,291 --> 04:18:04,891
violation allegation we could

8000
04:18:04,891 --> 04:18:05,225
simply cure the motion.

8001
04:18:05,225 --> 04:18:07,225
Correct.

8002
04:18:07,995 --> 04:18:09,290
Just hear it again.

8003
04:18:09,290 --> 04:18:11,798
We just have to go to court to

8004
04:18:11,798 --> 04:18:12,633
be cured.

8005
04:18:12,633 --> 04:18:16,233
>> The Brown Act as you know,

8006
04:18:16,937 --> 04:18:19,337
has some requirements that

8007
04:18:21,808 --> 04:18:22,543
someone before they do ask

8008
04:18:22,543 --> 04:18:23,343
the city to cure the violation.

8009
04:18:23,343 --> 04:18:26,343
That's not true for every

8010
04:18:26,947 --> 04:18:27,214
single violation of the Brown

8011
04:18:27,214 --> 04:18:28,470
Act.

8012
04:18:28,470 --> 04:18:28,382
So I would need to double check

8013
04:18:28,382 --> 04:18:30,382
on that.

8014
04:18:32,190 --> 04:18:32,753
But to answer your question in

8015
04:18:32,753 --> 04:18:35,753
part yes, generally the council

8016
04:18:36,289 --> 04:18:37,240
would need to have an

8017
04:18:37,240 --> 04:18:37,658
opportunity to cure that before

8018
04:18:37,658 --> 04:18:37,958
a lawsuit could be filed.

8019
04:18:37,958 --> 04:18:39,958
Okay.

8020
04:18:41,628 --> 04:18:42,363
Thank you and I appreciate it.

8021
04:18:42,363 --> 04:18:42,963
And I understand not having all

8022
04:18:42,963 --> 04:18:45,963
the answers on the spot

8023
04:18:46,367 --> 04:18:46,734
Attorneys get better all

8024
04:18:46,734 --> 04:18:47,534
the time.

8025
04:18:47,534 --> 04:18:50,370
I just wanted to also add more

8026
04:18:50,370 --> 04:18:51,337
context to my request in terms

8027
04:18:51,337 --> 04:18:55,309
of when we come back to have a

8028
04:18:55,309 --> 04:18:56,800
discussion again in District

8029
04:18:56,800 --> 04:18:56,677
five actually as far as I

8030
04:18:56,677 --> 04:18:59,677
understand it, based on last

8031
04:19:01,115 --> 04:19:01,815
year's report accepted the most

8032
04:19:01,815 --> 04:19:04,815
infill density the second most

8033
04:19:05,180 --> 04:19:05,819
of any district in the city

8034
04:19:05,819 --> 04:19:06,520
some short of District three we

8035
04:19:06,520 --> 04:19:08,920
accepted thousands of housing

8036
04:19:12,159 --> 04:19:12,826
units in our district in

8037
04:19:12,826 --> 04:19:13,294
pre-independence ghettos and

8038
04:19:13,294 --> 04:19:14,280
Castle Mountain.

8039
04:19:14,280 --> 04:19:14,727
Our script for Clean Plan Group

8040
04:19:14,727 --> 04:19:15,963
is actually not against a new

8041
04:19:15,963 --> 04:19:16,630
project going forward in

8042
04:19:16,630 --> 04:19:17,333
Rasouli So our district does

8043
04:19:17,333 --> 04:19:19,533
want to accept new housing for

8044
04:19:19,533 --> 04:19:20,267
young families, for

8045
04:19:20,267 --> 04:19:20,668
professionals we are we are all

8046
04:19:20,668 --> 04:19:21,401
about that.

8047
04:19:21,401 --> 04:19:24,401
Our concerns are about when

8048
04:19:24,538 --> 04:19:25,306
things aren't planned.

8049
04:19:25,306 --> 04:19:25,973
We can't have a 40 unit

8050
04:19:25,973 --> 04:19:28,373
apartment building going up

8051
04:19:29,576 --> 04:19:30,277
south of Cammarata Road where

8052
04:19:30,277 --> 04:19:30,978
there's only one exit in and

8053
04:19:30,978 --> 04:19:33,213
out and that community barn in

8054
04:19:33,213 --> 04:19:33,781
2003 we just had a major

8055
04:19:33,781 --> 04:19:34,381
traffic back up in

8056
04:19:34,381 --> 04:19:35,480
the evacuation of Rancho

8057
04:19:35,480 --> 04:19:38,480
Bernardo when the fire broke

8058
04:19:38,585 --> 04:19:39,219
out where all the new

8059
04:19:39,219 --> 04:19:39,954
developments are and we're

8060
04:19:39,954 --> 04:19:40,287
going to address that if we can

8061
04:19:40,287 --> 04:19:40,955
fix it.

8062
04:19:40,955 --> 04:19:43,624
I'm meeting with the police

8063
04:19:43,624 --> 04:19:44,290
department next week to talk

8064
04:19:44,290 --> 04:19:44,959
about evacuation procedures.

8065
04:19:44,959 --> 04:19:45,559
We can certainly fix it but

8066
04:19:45,559 --> 04:19:47,959
that's because these are

8067
04:19:48,528 --> 04:19:49,163
planned developments and we

8068
04:19:49,163 --> 04:19:49,864
know where they're going.

8069
04:19:49,864 --> 04:19:53,200
And so I think that's part of

8070
04:19:53,200 --> 04:19:53,967
our request is just to make

8071
04:19:53,967 --> 04:19:54,668
sure that we have transparency

8072
04:19:54,668 --> 04:19:57,438
in this and that things don't

8073
04:19:57,438 --> 04:19:58,305
just pop up out of nowhere.

8074
04:19:58,305 --> 04:19:59,730
So I'd love to talk about, you

8075
04:19:59,730 --> 04:20:02,730
know, fire zones and evacuation

8076
04:20:02,877 --> 04:20:03,477
plans when the when this comes

8077
04:20:03,477 --> 04:20:04,178
back And again, I'm not

8078
04:20:04,178 --> 04:20:04,845
committing my vote either way

8079
04:20:04,845 --> 04:20:07,615
because I wouldn't do that.

8080
04:20:07,615 --> 04:20:08,115
I'm committing to having a

8081
04:20:08,115 --> 04:20:08,816
discussion again.

8082
04:20:08,816 --> 04:20:12,416
So I appreciate that And thank

8083
04:20:12,453 --> 04:20:12,853
you very much for your time.

8084
04:20:12,853 --> 04:20:13,520
All right.

8085
04:20:13,520 --> 04:20:16,520
I don't see anybody on

8086
04:20:16,557 --> 04:20:16,857
the lights sitting here in this

8087
04:20:16,857 --> 04:20:17,725
chair.

8088
04:20:17,725 --> 04:20:21,595
I feel compelled It seems to me

8089
04:20:21,595 --> 04:20:22,328
that there's definitely

8090
04:20:22,328 --> 04:20:22,963
the vote for the first part and

8091
04:20:22,963 --> 04:20:25,363
I believe there's actually

8092
04:20:26,567 --> 04:20:26,867
definitely votes for the second

8093
04:20:26,867 --> 04:20:27,601
part.

8094
04:20:27,601 --> 04:20:31,201
The risk that the city attorney

8095
04:20:31,805 --> 04:20:32,540
has not addressed and I don't

8096
04:20:32,540 --> 04:20:35,540
think my colleagues have asked.

8097
04:20:36,544 --> 04:20:37,244
We're fighting the clock on

8098
04:20:37,244 --> 04:20:40,244
getting rid of footnote seven

8099
04:20:41,549 --> 04:20:42,349
Any delay pushes the final

8100
04:20:42,349 --> 04:20:45,949
action which is not final today

8101
04:20:46,587 --> 04:20:47,288
goes through bureaucratic steps

8102
04:20:47,288 --> 04:20:49,688
before footnote seven actually

8103
04:20:50,791 --> 04:20:51,559
is a race from the books.

8104
04:20:51,559 --> 04:20:55,159
Well anybody come after us for

8105
04:20:55,796 --> 04:20:56,664
a brown I don't know But there

8106
04:20:56,664 --> 04:21:01,101
is a risk But I think the votes

8107
04:21:01,101 --> 04:21:04,701
are there if it were to

8108
04:21:05,545 --> 04:21:05,840
bifurcated So that's my thought

8109
04:21:05,840 --> 04:21:06,607
.

8110
04:21:06,607 --> 04:21:10,207
I'm still going to support it

8111
04:21:11,450 --> 04:21:11,712
as is But just want to make

8112
04:21:11,712 --> 04:21:14,712
sure that all my colleagues

8113
04:21:15,716 --> 04:21:16,417
including our esteemed

8114
04:21:16,417 --> 04:21:17,170
colleague Councilmember Foster

8115
04:21:17,170 --> 04:21:17,752
is aware of that option.

8116
04:21:17,752 --> 04:21:20,487
But if you want to leave it

8117
04:21:20,487 --> 04:21:21,155
like that in the sucker

8118
04:21:21,155 --> 04:21:22,525
the motion wants to leave it

8119
04:21:22,525 --> 04:21:25,525
like that So be it.

8120
04:21:27,695 --> 04:21:30,950
I appreciate the comments

8121
04:21:32,700 --> 04:21:35,700
Council PRESIDENT But as it

8122
04:21:36,971 --> 04:21:40,571
stands right now I have tried

8123
04:21:41,676 --> 04:21:42,800
to work with the administration

8124
04:21:42,800 --> 04:21:42,776
.

8125
04:21:42,776 --> 04:21:46,376
I have not heard anything in

8126
04:21:46,747 --> 04:21:47,448
regards to a pause and when I

8127
04:21:47,448 --> 04:21:51,480
say I drove the community I

8128
04:21:51,118 --> 04:21:51,886
drove a project that is in

8129
04:21:51,886 --> 04:21:55,486
the dead end of a hillside

8130
04:21:58,659 --> 04:21:59,627
where I could not drive my car

8131
04:21:59,627 --> 04:22:03,227
through the road to get there

8132
04:22:04,732 --> 04:22:05,365
and for me I don't know how we

8133
04:22:05,365 --> 04:22:08,365
get a fire truck through.

8134
04:22:08,903 --> 04:22:10,903
There you go.

8135
04:22:13,874 --> 04:22:14,775
And so I just have to stand on

8136
04:22:14,775 --> 04:22:18,375
my position at this point And

8137
04:22:19,380 --> 04:22:19,914
again it is to request an

8138
04:22:19,914 --> 04:22:22,314
action to come back.

8139
04:22:23,584 --> 04:22:24,285
As I do know there is a lot of

8140
04:22:24,285 --> 04:22:27,285
discussion that needs to take

8141
04:22:28,422 --> 04:22:29,123
place because when we roll this

8142
04:22:29,123 --> 04:22:32,123
out and did the implementation

8143
04:22:33,940 --> 04:22:33,927
clearly we did it wrong.

8144
04:22:33,927 --> 04:22:37,431
Yeah And so I would request

8145
04:22:37,431 --> 04:22:38,166
that we move forward and call

8146
04:22:38,166 --> 04:22:38,433
for the question and let's move

8147
04:22:38,433 --> 04:22:38,799
on.

8148
04:22:38,799 --> 04:22:40,799
Thank you.

8149
04:22:42,403 --> 04:22:43,170
That was the last comment.

8150
04:22:43,170 --> 04:22:43,570
The motion is up there on

8151
04:22:43,570 --> 04:22:45,570
the screen.

8152
04:22:47,875 --> 04:22:48,576
Put forth by Councilmember

8153
04:22:48,576 --> 04:22:49,100
Foster and a second by Council

8154
04:22:49,100 --> 04:22:51,100
member Campo.

8155
04:22:52,313 --> 04:22:53,181
Clerk Call the vote.

8156
04:22:53,181 --> 04:22:56,181
>> I started the voting system.

8157
04:23:01,255 --> 04:23:03,655
Please cast your vote.

8158
04:23:04,559 --> 04:23:05,226
That does pass unanimously 8 to

8159
04:23:05,226 --> 04:23:07,626
0 with council member Yellow

8160
04:23:09,497 --> 04:23:10,231
River absent.

8161
04:23:10,231 --> 04:23:13,831
Okay with that action we will

8162
04:23:14,202 --> 04:23:14,869
now adjourn Council for

8163
04:23:14,869 --> 04:23:15,503
the next regularly scheduled

8164
04:23:15,503 --> 04:23:17,903
Council meeting on Monday
