Good morning.

We are calling to order the planning director hearing of September 25th, 2024.

My name is Jared Ferguson, and I am the hearing officer for today's agenda on behalf of and delegated by the Director of Planning, Building and Code Enforced Enforcement, Christopher Burton.

The meeting is held via Zoom conference call.

Members of the public may participate by following the instructions listed on page two of the agenda.

If you would like to provide public comment, you have two methods to do so.

For participants who joined electronically and have audio input available on their computer or smartphone, they can use the raise in Zoom during the agenda item they would like to speak to or click star nine on their phone.

Remember to keep your raise hand feature on until planning support staff identify your turn to speak.

During the meeting, please call or number two, sorry, during the meeting, please call 408-535-3505 or email planning support staff at San Jose CA.gov.

And identify your name that is listed on Zoom, the phone number that you'll call into Zoom with, and what item or items you would like to comment on.

All members of the public will remain on mute until the individual identifies they would like to speak and they are unmuted.

Planning support staff will identify you by name when it is your turn to speak.

At that time, you will be unmuted and can provide comment for the allotted time.

If you exceed your allotted time, you may be muted.

So when so we can move you on, move on to the next speaker.

Please note the following.

The hearing procedure and order of input will be as follows.

One, I will identify each project as described on the agenda.

For those items on the consent calendar, I will ask if anyone wishes to speak on them.

If a separate discussion is warranted, I will 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.

Number three, for those items listed under public hearing, I will ask staff to provide a brief report.

Four, 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.

Five, after the applicant or the representative has spoken, any member of the public who wishes to speak on the item may 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, although it is not required.

And lastly, or sorry, number six, following comments from the public, the applicant may take additional remarks, up may make additional remarks for up to five minutes.

I will then close the public hearing and I may ask staff to answer questions, respond to comments made 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 you or someone else raised at this public hearing or in written correspondence delivered to the city at or prior to the public hearing.

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

The director's actions on the permits are appealable in accordance with requirements of Title 20 of the municipal code, the zoning ordinance.

The planning director's actions on the environmental review for the permits under the under the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA are separately appealable in accordance with the requirements of Title 21 of the municipal code, environmental clearance.

Before we begin, I want to remind members of the public to follow our code of conduct at meetings.

This includes commenting on the specific agenda agenda item only.

Public speakers will not will not engage in 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 disrupt, disrupt, or impede the orderly conduct of this meeting may result in removal from the meeting.

The meeting of the director, director's hearing will now come to order.

Okay.

So first uh under deferrals, uh any items scheduled for hearing this morning for which deferral to future meetings is being requested will be moved to this item of the agenda.

I will identify any items.

Um if you want to change any of the deferral dates or speak, please use the raised hand feature in Zoom.

I will now open the public hearing.

Um there are not any items uh under deferral.

Is that correct?

Okay.

So the matter of deferrals is now closed.

We'll now move on to the consent calendar.

There will be no specific discussion of individual consent calendar items as they are considered to be routine and will be considered in one action unless an item is moved to the public hearing calendar for separate discussion by the hearing officer.

The public may comment on the entire consent calendar and any items removed from the consent calendar by the hearing office, may be removed from the consent consent calendar by the hearing officer.

So if you wish to speak on one of these items, please use your raise hand feature in Zoom or click star nine uh to raise a hand and speak.

So are there anyone who is there are there any members of the public who wish to speak on consent calendar items or have them move to the public hearing?

Okay.

Is that correct?

Yes, we don't have to.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, thanks.

Okay, so with that, uh, I will go ahead and um approve the consent calendar.

Um we do not have any items on the public hearing.
