Good morning, everyone.

It's 9 o'clock a.m.

So we are now calling to order the planning director hearing of November 20th, 2024.

My name is Sylvia Doe, and I am the hearing officer for today's agenda on behalf of 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 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 raised hand feature in Zoom during the agenda item they would like to speak to, or click star 9 on their phone.

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

During the meeting, you can also call 408-535-3505 or email planning support staff at San Jose CA.gov and identify your name that's 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's your turn to speak.

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

If 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 of input will be as follows.

First, I'll identify each project as listed on the agenda.

For those items on the consent calendar, I will ask if anyone wishes to speak on the 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 staff to provide a brief report.

The applicants 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 their 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.

Following comments from the public, the applicant 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 the public hearing or in written correspondence delivered to the city at or prior to the public hearing.

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

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

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

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 item only.

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 will disturb, which will disturb, disrupt, or impede the orderly conduct of this meeting, may result in the removal from the meeting.

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

We'll move on to the second part of the agenda now, which is deferrals.

Any item scheduled for hearing this morning for which deferral to a future meeting date is being requested will be moved to this portion of the agenda and considered on the matter of deferral.

I will identify any items to be deferred and ask for comments from the audience.

If you wish to change any of the deferral dates or speak to the question of deferring these or any other items, please use the raised hand feature in Zoom or click star 9 to raise your hand to speak.

I will now open the public hearing.

There is one item listed on deferrals this morning, which is item 2A, file number H22-025, and ER22-141.

This is a site development permit located at 4375 Hamilton Avenue.

Staff has an update on this item.

Staff.

Thank you, hearing officer.

Good morning.

Cameron G, Planning Project Manager for this item.

This item is being deferred to the December 11th hearing at staff's request.

Staff has received instruction from the Office of Council District 1 to hold a community meeting on this item prior to this item's public hearing date.

A date for the community meeting, which will be held on Zoom, is in the process of being decided on by staff and the council district office.

Staff will reach out directly to all parties who have shown interest to inform them of the community meeting date.

Thank you.

Thank you so much, Cameron.

Are there any members of the public who would like to speak on this item?

If so, this is the time to raise your hand in Zoom or click star nine.

I'll pause for a moment to see if anyone would like to speak on the item.

Okay, seeing none, we'll accept staff's recommendation and defer this item to the future hearing date of December 11th.

Next, we'll move on to the next order of business on the agenda, which is three, the consent calendar.
