Public Comments  What about attracting art galleries for downtown and local art? Diverse retail is great for any market. The challenge of galleries is they cannot afford to pay much rent. There are some galleries that would be considered destination uses.  Is this past experience going to be what we will see in the future given how the COVID downturn is hitting us? Still learning how this downtown will affect the future of SSF.  Burlingame is cute, but there interesting parking is a nightmare. Hope we’re considering non- painful parking along with development. It was also suggested the parking meters allow credit cards. SSF has good access of parking lots in proximity to downtown. Keep rates reasonable at nearby lots. Street parking on Grand Ave should have 2-hour limits for turn- over.  Sounds like the center of commerce will be services that are supported by food and retail. What kind of services can we encourage? Will not see large scale manufacturing in this area. May see some small-scale food manufacturing to service restaurants, hotels and schools. Anticipate more e-commerce businesses in the area.  Multi-story industrial buildings? There are many in Asia and starting to see some in the United States in densely populated areas (New York, Washington DC and Seattle). There is one being contemplated in San Francisco. The market is lacking new modern products to serve the market demand.  Sanitary sewer provision in the County Club Park neighborhood.  With economic policy trade-offs, where is the quality of life? Does this get folded into housing prices/rents? Yes, high quality of life results in higher housing prices.  What role should office and R&D buildings have in the development of housing? Alexandria is a commercial developer. Mix of uses near commercial can work well to reduce traffic. There are areas close to the train station in SSF that could accommodate residential. Housing and transportation is important to Genetech for attraction and retention of employees. Role is to be a partner with housing production, particularly around the CalTrain station which may be a good opportunity for new housing development.  Mix of biotech and housing east of 101 and what services would be needed? There is a variety of biotech uses and research and development that are not necessarily residential friendly. Could be buffers built in to build housing and preserve the biotech industry.  Industrial area provides middle wage jobs for local residents. There is a good mix of medium and lower wage jobs in the area. There is a wide range of industrial uses.  As companies are adjusting to having employees work from home or remotely, how do you see the demand for commercial office space going forward or SSF’s ability to attract new businesses? Don’t expect offices to return to normal post-COVID. The shared use of spaces and large open office areas may shift to more private or larger spaces with few people.  Land use balance for different job sectors? This is a policy decision that will need to be made as to what industries to prioritize. There is currently a diverse mix of jobs and industries in SSF.  General Plan completion date? Will be completed in 2021. Working on developing the land use alternatives now.  Should ground floor retail be required in mixed use development? It usually hurts the project financially. It is good it certain locations with good street frontage on major streets.  Can the Genetech ferry service be an all day service for all people? Its an expensive service to operate and not sure if there is a demand to operate all day.  Housing in the Lindenville area? This could be considered with the land use alternatives.
