Good morning.

We're calling to order the planning director's hearing of August 28th, 2024.

My name is John 2, and I'm the hearing officer for today's agenda on behalf and delegated by the director of planning, building and code enforcement, Christopher Burton.

This meeting is being held via Zoom conference call.

Members of the public may participate.

But follow the instructions listed on page two of the agenda.

If you would like to provide public comment, you have two methods to identify yourself to provide public comments.

Participants who join electronically and have auto input available on your computer or smartphone.

You can use a raise hand feature in Zoom or click star nine on your phone if you dialed in.

To request to speak when your item is being heard on the agenda.

Keep your raise hand feature on until staff identifies your turn to speak.

During the meeting, you also have the option of calling 408-535-3505 or email planning support staff at San Jose CA.gov.

Identify your name.

That's listed on Zoom or phone number if you called in.

And what items or items you would like to comment on.

All members of the public will remain on mute until staff identifies your turn to speak.

And then you are unmuted.

At that time, you'll be unmuted and can provide comments during the allotted time.

You exceed your allotted time, you may be muted.

So we can move on to the next speaker.

Please note the following.

The hearing procedure and order operation will be as followed.

I'll identify each project as described on the agenda for those items on the consent calendar.

I'll ask anyone who wishes to speak on an item.

If a separate discussion is warranted, I'll move the item to the public hearing portion of the agenda.

If a separate discussion is not needed, the item will remain on the consent calendar for approval.

For those items listed under public hearing, I'll ask that to provide a brief report.

The applicant or the representative who wishes to speak on the item will have up to five minutes to speak and should identify themselves by stating their name for the record.

After the applicant or the representative have spoken, any member of the public who wishes to speak on item, we provide testimony up to two minutes per speaker, either for or against the project.

All members of the public should identify their name for the record.

Following the comments from the public, the applicant may make an additional mark for up to five minutes.

I will then close public comments and it may ask staff to answer questions, respond to the comments by the applicant or the public or further discuss the item.

I will then take action on the item.

If you challenge these land use decisions in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues or someone else raised at the public hearing or in written correspondence delivered to the city or prior to the public hearing.

The planning director's actions on item on agenda items will be finalized when the permit is signed and mailed, unless the permit or the environmental clearance determination is appealed.

The planning director's action on requirements are appealable in accordance with the requirements of Title 20 of the valley code.

The planning director's action on the environmental review for the permit under the California Environmental Quality Act are separately appealable in accordance with the requirements of Title 21 of the meeting code.

Before we begin, I'd like to remind members of the public to follow our code of conduct at the meeting.

This includes commenting on the specific agenda items.

Public speakers will not engage in a conversation with the hearing officer or staff.

The hearing officer staff and the public are expected to refrain from abusive language.

Repeated failure to comply with the code of conduct, which will which will disturb, disrupt, or impede the orderly conduct of the meeting.

It results in the removal from the meeting.

The meeting of the register hearing will now come to order.

The first item, issue deferral.

Any item scheduled for the hearing for which the deferral is a future meeting is being requested will be moved to this portion of the agenda.

I'll identify any IB deferred and answer comments from the audience.

I'll now open hearing the following item.

There are no current items currently listed for the item of deferral.

I see one hand from Chris.

Uh Greg Go.

Is this on the matter of deferral, Chris?

Uh no, this is not on the matter of deferral, but I would I raise my hand to request that this meeting be uh posted to the planning uh video page.

Uh, and that the participant names be uh shown to the public for uh for the sake of transparency so that everybody can see who's actually participating and viewing this meeting.

Uh without without that, there isn't full transparency to the public as to who's engaging in this meeting.

Thank you.

Thank you, Chris.

So in uh Jennifer, if you can speak on Jennifer Danielle can speak on where the act of the meeting will be posted.

Uh, Chris, to answer your specific question, we just like in a regular audience of the city council.
