The City Council and Planning Commission will hold a joint study session on August 19, 2020 at 6:30 pm. Others way to engage include online survey and virtual office hour with a planner once a week. Eric Yurkovich provided an overview of the Lindenville area land use alternatives. He provided a summary of comments received at community meetings relating to the Lindenville vision statement and the land use alternatives. Committee discussion on the Lindenville vision statement:  Sophie Martin noted that if we are trying to create a community around the creek, housing should be mentioned in the vision statement.  Julie Ann Murphy asked about supporting artists and creative community.  Eddie Flores asked about what is defined as middle wage jobs? Between technology jobs and service industry jobs with livable wages.  Eddie Flores express concern with use of the word of “capitalizing”, what are we capitalizing on?  Bob Cavalieri noted that what makes SSF so great is the variety of jobs.  Kristy Camacho noted the vision does not reflect existing residents and quality of life and it feels more economic focused. Prefer more focus on residents and less on economy. Committee discussion on the Lindenville land use alternatives:  Bill Zemke expressed interest in keeping the industrial feel and increasing the intensity. Not sure how a residential area here would look and feel like.  Roderick Bovee would like to see more residential, but concerned with proximity to high intensity industrial. Need to consider buffer or transition zone.  John Skerry asked about how much industrial area is within each alternative and if the area transitions to some office, would that retain some industrial area for job diversity. Eric responded that the alternatives are similar with industrial area and will depend on the pace of redevelopment. This is not a typical land use typology (high intensity industrial). Anticipate the change would occur more slowly over the course of the General Plan. If you change an industrial use to R&D or Office use, would expect quicker transition of use (higher rent for office uses).  Julie Ann Murphy would high density mixed use permit maker space or light industry and could serve as a transitional use? Could allow some clean uses near residential.  Sophie Martin likes residential on south side of creek, if the creek can be more of an amenity. Not sure would like to see residential extend as far south as shown in alternatives 2 and 3. Consider use of rear parcel lines as transitions between uses and not street. Would like to see housing near San Bruno BART station and Centennial trail. Concern with housing directly adjacent to the freeway.  Rockerick – transitional office between residential and industrial uses?  Julie Ann Murphy agreed on maintaining balance of land uses by shifting residential upward and appreciate additional park area.  Kristy Camacho agrees with adjusting residential area and maintaining industrial areas near freeway.  Bill Zemke feels large parcels near freeway would be better suited for high intensity office of commercial use and not residential  Eddie Flores agrees from a public health perspective on not having housing near freeway.  Tony Rozzi noted that there are very few large sites remaining that could accommodate high intensity residential and meet City’s RHNA objectives.  Kristy Camacho appreciates need to provide additional housing.  Sam Shihadeh noted that the community is reluctant to change. Industrial area is a source of income for many local residents and should be preserved.  Bob Cavalieri noted that preserving industrial area is important.  Roderick Bovee agreed that once you rezone industrial area, you cannot get it back and would like to see some industrial area preserved.  John Skerry agreed to preserve some industrial area. Bill Zemke agreed. In general, Committee members expressed preference to retain some industrial land uses and allow new residential in the area. There was Committee preference for alternative 3 with modifications. Eric Yurkovich reviewed the El Camino vision statement and land use alternatives. Committee discussion on the El Camino land use alternatives:  Sophie Martin asked about lower heights in this area compared to current plan.  Eric Yurkovich noted that if the building height is lowered, we still must maintain the density or plan for it at another location.  Kristy Camacho asked why the City would consider lower heights in this area.  John Skerry asked if the building height is the real issue here or would any development be opposed.  Tony Rozzi noted that the bulk of development has already occurred in this area and there remaining area for development in the El Camino Real/ Chestnut Specific Plan is the Safeway site and the current City Municipal building.  Eric Yurkovich noted that parking requirements and other development standards limit the number of units that can be built and increases the cost of each unit. With lower height, may need to be flexible in other areas including unit size.  Roderick Bovee noted that neighbors may not appreciate reduced parking standards and heard community interest in more family sized units.  Julie Ann Murphy noted that more savvy builders will take advantage of Density Bonus and need to understand ultimate build out may be higher than General Plan designation.  Kristy Camacho noted that we should encourage the highest density near transit hubs. Eric Yurkovich reviewed community comments on the El Camino vision statement and land use alternatives. Committee comments:  Eddie Flores noted that the School Board objects to land use designations on school sites for any use other than school.  Nick Maiden noted that if the school were to sell the land to the City, he would advocate retaining the land for a public purpose (child care, etc.).  Kristy Camacho noted that these sites may be needed for school purpose in the future.  Eric Yurkovich noted that there was some previous discussion to build teacher housing at school sites.  Sam Shihadeh noted that residents would like to see new development including grocery stores and affordable housing in this area.  Roderick Bovee asked what uses would be allowed in mixed use land uses (car sales, etc.).  Kristy Camacho suggesting considering the South Spruce area for mixed use node.  John Skerry expressed support for intensifying uses around BART. Committee support for maintaining intensity along El Camino corridor including around the BART station. Committee members expressed preference for alternative 1 with the understanding that this does not include residential designation for the school sites. Committee members are welcome to attend the joint City Council and Planning Commission study session meeting. Eric Yurkovich will report on community comments as well as CAC comments on the land use alternatives. Staff Comments Tony Rozzi encouraged CAC members to attend the joint study session and noted the packet will be distributed to Committee members.
