Good morning.

We are calling to order the planning director hearing of March 12, 2025.

My name is Davian, 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 comment, you have two methods to do so.

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

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

Alternatively, during the meeting, please call 408 535 3505 or email planning support staff, all one word at San JoseCA.gov and identify your name that is listed on Zoom, phone number that you will be calling 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 that 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 we can move on to the next speaker.

Please note the following.

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

I will identify each project as described on the agenda.

For those items on the consent calendar, I'll ask if anyone wishes to speak on the item.

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

If 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 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 representatives 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 was 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 an 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 environmental clearance determination is appealed.

The planning director's actions on permits are appealable in accordance with the requirements of Title 20 of the Municipal Code, the zoning ordinance, and the planning director's actions on the environmental review for permits under the California Environmental Quality Act 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 specific agenda items only.

Public speakers 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 disturb, disrupt, or impede orderly contact of this meeting may result in the removal from the meeting.

This meeting of the planning director hearing will now come to order.

First item of consideration is the item of deferrals.

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

Are there any items for deferral?

Support staff, have you heard any request for any request to put items to defer any of the items.

No, we have not.

If you wish to speak on one of these items, please use your raise hand feature in Zoom or click star nine to raise your hand to speak.

First item 3A is T24040 and ER24308.
