Subject: 11/29/22 Agenda Item 8.5 Council Policy 5-1: Reject the Alternave Recommendaon

[You don't often get email from Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ]
[External Email]
Dear City Clerk City Clerk,
I ask that you join hundreds of community members and the Planning Commission by following the Planning Department staff recommendation for updating Transportation Analysis Policy 5-1 while rejecting the Alternative Recommendation that would facilitate development on Private Recreation and Open Space land. Send a clear message that one developer’s interest in one potential redevelopment project should not drive the direction of Citywide policy.

I object to the proposed Alternative Recommendation because it is inconsistent with the city’s General Plan and would facilitate development of huge parcels of open space without a community visioning process, such as is currently being provided for multiple other large parcels in San Jose.

The most immediate and obvious beneficiary of this harmful policy would be the owners of the 114 acre former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site, which presents an unparalleled opportunity to gain publicly accessible open space for local communities as part of a community-centered visioning process for future development of the site. If the Council would like to consider allowing this site to redevelop, the city should lead a transparent community engagement process to determine how the development of the site could meet the needs of its future residents, the larger community, and the city.

Sincerely,
David Von Raesfeld

Dear City Council,
I join over 900 community members in asking you to reject the "Alternative Recommendation", that is opposed by staff and was rejected by the Planning Commission, for the update to Council Policy 5-1. It would allow a developer to convert the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site with no clear process or plan for meaningful engagement by the community in visioning the future uses of the land. One developer’s interest in one potential redevelopment project should not drive the direction of Citywide policy.

Please listen to communities that are affected by your decisions.

Do not implement a policy change to accommodate a single property and the corresponding developers. If you decide to allow development of a 114 acre property, do so via a city-driven and very robust community engagement and visioning process like you are doing for sites a fraction of the size.

1. A policy change should not be driven by a single property, in this case the Pleasant Hills Golf Course.

2. The policy change could have implications for other areas. It could be used as a model that could be applied down the road to other types of zoning.

3. Any future plans for this site must include dedication of a significant percentage of the site for public open space.

4. If the city would like to explore what should happen with this 114 acre site, it should be through a city-led community based process instead of developing a policy to lay that out. The city and community should drive that process, not a developer.

The city is already doing visioning for other locations, including a 15-acre site, throughout other council districts and our community demands the same due process, community engagement, and requirements that are already in place to ensure our neighborhood growth and development align with the city's general plan and the community open space initiatives.

The developement should be on a conditional requirement that 25% be open space, with another 20 geared towards ending homelessness (mini housing)

I enjoy open space. My children and your children enjoy open space to run and play or to just relax from everydays life hustle and bustle. I do not enjoy to be surrounded by concrete walls that take away the beauty of this world and all the wildlife that call it home. STOP destroying what little beauty we have left in this world.

Dear City Council,
I join over 900 community members in asking you to reject the "Alternative Recommendation", that is opposed by staff and was rejected by the Planning Commission, for the update to Council Policy 5-1. It would allow a developer to convert the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site with no clear process or plan for meaningful engagement by the community in visioning the future uses of the land. One developer’s interest in one potential redevelopment project should not drive the direction of Citywide policy.

Any development to the area will greatly impact our quality of life!!! The community must be involved this process.

Do not implement a policy change to accommodate a single property and the corresponding developers. If you decide to allow development of a 114 acre property, do so via a city-driven and very robust community engagement and visioning process like you are doing for sites a fraction of the size.

1. A policy change should not be driven by a single property, in this case the Pleasant Hills Golf Course.

2. The policy change could have implications for other areas. It could be used as a model that could be applied down the road to other types of zoning.

3. Any future plans for this site must include dedication of a significant percentage of the site for public open space.

4. If the city would like to explore what should happen with this 114 acre site, it should be through a city-led community based process instead of developing a policy to lay that out. The city and community should drive that process, not a developer.

The city is already doing visioning for other locations, including a 15-acre site, throughout other council districts and our community demands the same due process, community engagement, and requirements that are already in place to ensure our neighborhood growth and development align with the city's general plan and the community open space initiatives.

As the saying goes, people over profit. Please don’t allow developers to dictate how residents live. East Side San José residents deserve clean and green space. There is plenty of unused commercial space throughout the City. Allowing this change, just to make an example for other areas is unacceptable. Especially when this is being pushed by two Council members who don’t live in the affected area. This change, without community involvement, will negatively affect the health and safety of this community. From an equity standpoint, this change will take away green and open space, leaving the area with poor air quality, heat islands, increased traffic/air pollution, and a decrease in quality of life. Please don’t take away what little the East Side has. Use other more supportive areas to build housing. And reinvest in unused commercial buildings instead of creating more vacant ones.

1. A policy change should not be driven by a single property, in this case the Pleasant Hills Golf Course.

2. The policy change could have implications for other areas. It could be used as a model that could be applied down the road to other types of zoning.

3. Any future plans for this site must include dedication of a significant percentage of the site for public open space.

4. If the city would like to explore what should happen with this 114 acre site, it should be through a city-led community based process instead of developing a policy to lay that out. The city and community should drive that process, not a developer.

The city is already doing visioning for other locations, including a 15-acre site, throughout other council districts and our community demands the same due process, community engagement, and requirements that are already in place to ensure our neighborhood growth and development align with the city's general plan and the community open space initiatives.

Dear City Council,
I join almost 800 community members in asking you to reject the "Alternative Recommendation", that is opposed by staff and was rejected by the Planning Commission, for the update to Council Policy 5-1. It would allow a developer to convert the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site with no clear process or plan for meaningful engagement by the community in visioning the future uses of the land. One developer’s interest in one potential redevelopment project should not drive the direction of Citywide policy.

This parcel should become a public park/open space with trails and amenities and open to all. It should be vegetated with native plants to increase biodiversity and act as a carbon sink and provide clean air.

Please always solicit and include public opinions and ideas to enhance all projects. Never limit or eliminate on site parking in all projects. If you do not believe it is necessary please drive throughout the neighborhoods in East San Jose.

Families have multiple cars and multiple family members in a house or apartment mean even more cars. Public transportation is good to have but is inadequate when parking is reduced or eliminated.

Dear City Council,
I join almost 800 community members in asking you to reject the "Alternative Recommendation", that is opposed by staff and was rejected by the Planning Commission, for the update to Council Policy 5-1. It would allow a developer to convert the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site with no clear process or plan for meaningful engagement by the community in visioning the future uses of the land. One developer’s interest in one potential redevelopment project should not drive the direction of Citywide policy.

The Reid Hillview Airport is poisoning us every day from the lead in the planes. The pilots fly non stop with no restrictions over the EastSide. And the pilots are not professionals. The pilots are learning how to fly, and they fly over children, schools and homes.

Do not implement a policy change to accommodate a single property and the corresponding developers. If you decide to allow development of a 114 acre property, do so via a city-driven and very robust community engagement and visioning process like you are doing for sites a fraction of the size.

1. A policy change should not be driven by a single property, in this case the Pleasant Hills Golf Course.

2. The policy change could have implications for other areas. It could be used as a model that could be applied down the road to other types of zoning.

3. Any future plans for this site must include dedication of a significant percentage of the site for public open space.

4. If the city would like to explore what should happen with this 114 acre site, it should be through a city-led community based process instead of developing a policy to lay that out. The city and community should drive that process, not a developer.

The city is already doing visioning for other locations, including a 15-acre site, throughout other council districts and our community demands the same due process, community engagement, and requirements that are already in place to ensure our neighborhood growth and development align with the city's general plan and the community open space initiatives.

Developers are the only ones that benefit from building on this open space. Local communities dont need more housing that no one can afford. Say NO to development of former golf course.

Dear City Council,
I join almost 800 community members in asking you to reject the "Alternative Recommendation", that is opposed by staff and was rejected by the Planning Commission, for the update to Council Policy 5-1. It would allow a developer to convert the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site with no clear process or plan for meaningful engagement by the community in visioning the future uses of the land. One developer’s interest in one potential redevelopment project should not drive the direction of Citywide policy.

Do not implement a policy change to accommodate a single property and the corresponding developers. If you decide to allow development of a 114 acre property, do so via a city-driven and very robust community engagement and visioning process like you are doing for sites a fraction of the size.

1. A policy change should not be driven by a single property, in this case the Pleasant Hills Golf Course.

2. The policy change could have implications for other areas. It could be used as a model that could be applied down the road to other types of zoning.

3. Any future plans for this site must include dedication of a significant percentage of the site for public open space.

4. If the city would like to explore what should happen with this 114 acre site, it should be through a city-led community based process instead of developing a policy to lay that out. The city and community should drive that process, not a developer.

The city is already doing visioning for other locations, including a 15-acre site, throughout other council districts and our community demands the same due process, community engagement, and requirements that are already in place to ensure our neighborhood growth and development align with the city's general plan and the community open space initiatives.

Please just reject this. The reasons are many, you know them already. Make a positive difference and choose what is best for our community and what the community wants, say NO to the ''Alternative Recommendation '' that was also rejected by your staff AND the Planning Commission.

Thank you, Tina Rivera

4. If the city would like to explore what should happen with this 114 acre site, it should be through a city-led community based process instead of developing a policy to lay that out. The city and community should drive that process, not a developer.

The city is already doing visioning for other locations, including a 15-acre site, throughout other council districts and our community demands the same due process, community engagement, and requirements that are already in place to ensure our neighborhood growth and development align with the city's general plan and the community open space initiatives.

Dear City Council,
I join over 600 community members in asking you to reject the "Alternative Recommendation", that is opposed by staff and was rejected by the Planning Commission, for the update to Council Policy 5-1. It would allow a developer to convert the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site with no clear process or plan for meaningful engagement by the community in visioning the future uses of the land. One developer’s interest in one potential redevelopment project should not drive the direction of Citywide policy.

Do not implement a policy change to accommodate a single property and the corresponding developers. If you decide to allow development of a 114 acre property, do so via a city-driven and very robust community engagement and visioning process like you are doing for sites a fraction of the size.

1. A policy change should not be driven by a single property, in this case the Pleasant Hills Golf Course.

2. The policy change could have implications for other areas. It could be used as a model that could be applied down the road to other types of zoning.

3. Any future plans for this site must include dedication of a significant percentage of the site for public open space.

4. If the city would like to explore what should happen with this 114 acre site, it should be through a city-led community based process instead of developing a policy to lay that out. The city and community should drive that process, not a developer.

We don’t have enough water, electricity or space for more garbage. The streets are not designed for more cars by the thousands. I’m sure there are many other issues this build will cause. It seems that by adding more housing the prices will drop. If we look at New York or San Francisco, both of which are at capacity, we see that they are the among most expensive places to live. Just because there’s a patch of dirt doesn’t mean we need to build and exhaust what little resources we have left, especially without engaging the community.

I join almost 600 community members in asking you to reject the "Alternative Recommendation", that is opposed by staff and was rejected by the Planning Commission, for the update to Council Policy 5-1. It would allow a developer to convert the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site with no clear process or plan for meaningful engagement by the community in visioning the future uses of the land. One developer’s interest in one potential redevelopment project should not drive the direction of Citywide policy.

Do not implement a policy change to accommodate a single property and the corresponding developers. If you decide to allow development of a 114 acre property, do so via a city-driven and very robust community engagement and visioning process like you are doing for sites a fraction of the size.

1. A policy change should not be driven by a single property, in this case the Pleasant Hills Golf Course.

2. The policy change could have implications for other areas. It could be used as a model that could be applied down the road to other types of zoning.

3. Any future plans for this site must include dedication of a significant percentage of the site for public open space.

4. If the city would like to explore what should happen with this 114 acre site, it should be through a city-led community based process instead of developing a policy to lay that out. The city and community should drive that process, not a developer.

The city is already doing visioning for other locations, including a 15-acre site, throughout other council districts and our community demands the same due process, community engagement, and requirements that are already in place to ensure our neighborhood growth and development align with the city's general plan and the community open space initiatives.

REJECT THE ALERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION THAT IS OPPOSED BY STAFF AND REJECTED BY PLANNING COMMISSION, FOR THE UPDATE TO COUNCIL POLICY 5-1

Policy change should not be driven to make change for a single property and corresponding developer. 114 acres of Pleasant Hill Golf Course should and must include community led involvement, concerns for the impact of an already highly impacted community. The city already has visions yo develop in other areas community open space initiative should be in place and considered.

Thanks

Dear City Council,
I join almost 600 community members in asking you to reject the "Alternative Recommendation", that is opposed by staff and was rejected by the Planning Commission, for the update to Council Policy 5-1. It would allow a developer to convert the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site with no clear process or plan for meaningful engagement by the community in visioning the future uses of the land. One developer’s interest in one potential redevelopment project should not drive the direction of Citywide policy.

Developers are not your constituents!!!
Do not implement a policy change to accommodate a single property and the corresponding developers. If you decide to allow development of a 114 acre property, do so via a city-driven and very robust community engagement and visioning process like you are doing for sites a fraction of the size.

1. A policy change should not be driven by a single property, in this case the Pleasant Hills Golf Course.

2. The policy change could have implications for other areas. It could be used as a model that could be applied down the road to other types of zoning.

3. Any future plans for this site must include dedication of a significant percentage of the site for public open space.

4. If the city would like to explore what should happen with this 114 acre site, it should be through a city-led community based process instead of developing a policy to lay that out. The city and community should drive that process, not a developer.

The city is already doing visioning for other locations, including a 15-acre site, throughout other council districts and our community demands the same due process, community engagement, and requirements that are already in place to ensure our neighborhood growth and development align with the city's general plan and the community open space initiatives.

Please preserve open space. Over development creates congestion, traffic, impatience and crime. Consider turning this beautiful piece of land into something similar to Emma Prusch Park – community gardens, farm animals, fruit trees, community events, etc.

I really don't want more houses . The traffic is bad and we are so crowded already it is nice to have open space . Since the golf course has been closed for years it shouldn't fall in to that space.

It would allow a developer to convert the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site with no clear process or plan for meaningful engagement by the community in visioning the future uses of the land. One developer’s interest in one potential redevelopment project should not drive the direction of Citywide policy.

I oppose the Alternative Recommendation, noting in the staff report: “One developer’s interest in one potential redevelopment project should not drive the direction of Citywide policy.” I agree that if the Council would like to consider allowing the Pleasant Hills Golf Course to redevelop, the city should lead a transparent community engagement process to determine how the development of the site could meet the needs of its future residents, the larger community, and the city.

Do not implement a policy change to accommodate a single property and the corresponding developers. If you decide to allow development of a 114 acre property, do so via a city-driven and very robust community engagement and visioning process like you are doing for sites a fraction of the size.

Dear Mayor and Council,

I am just a stupid arst, but it doesn't take much smarts to noce that San Jose is developing open space at an alarmingly destrucve rate.

Humans are creatures of nature, along with other animals, and we all need open space to thrive.

Please adopt the Planning Department staff recommendaon for updang Transportaon Analysis Policy 5-1 while REJECTING the Alternave Recommendaon that would facilitate development on Private Recreaon and Open Space land.

One developer’s interest in one potenal redevelopment project should not drive Citywide policy.

The proposed Alternave Recommendaon is inconsistent with the City’s General Plan, and would facilitate development of huge parcels of open space without a community visioning process, as is currently the pracce for many other large parcels in San Jose.

Should the Council wish to consider allowing this site to redevelop, the City should lead a transparent community engagement process to determine how the development of the site could meet the needs of its future residents, the larger community, and the city.

Refraining from developing the land presents an unparalleled opportunity to gain publicly accessible open space for local communies.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Kira Od

To the Mayor and City Council Members:

I am a long-time (46 years) resident of San Jose.  In addition, I am quite familiar with the Pleasant Hills golf course having played there many times before its closure.  It is a wonderful piece of property that provides needed green space in that part of town.

I write to ask that you adopt the Planning Department staff recommendation for updating Transportation Analysis Policy 5-1 while rejecting the Alternative Recommendation that would facilitate development on Private Recreation and Open Space land. I ask you to send a clear message that one developer’s interest in one potential redevelopment project should not drive the direction of Citywide policy.

I object to the proposed Alternative Recommendation because it is inconsistent with the city’s General Plan and would facilitate development of huge parcels of open space without a community visioning process, such as is currently being provided for multiple other large parcels in San Jose.

The most immediate and obvious beneficiary of this harmful policy would be the owners of the 114 acre former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site. This parcel presents an unparalleled opportunity to gain publicly accessible open space for local communities as part of a community-centered visioning process for future development of the site. If the Council would like to consider allowing this site to redevelop, the city should lead a
transparent community engagement process to determine how the development of the site could meet the needs of its future residents, the larger community, and the city.

Thank you.

Gary Campanella

Hi,
I live above the hills above area being discussed and I’m writing to ask that you adopt the Planning Department staff recommendation for updating Transportation Analysis Policy 5-1 while rejecting the Alternative Recommendation that would facilitate development on Private Recreation and Open Space land. Send a clear message that one developer’s interest in one potential redevelopment project should not drive the direction of Citywide policy.

I object to the proposed “Alternative" Recommendation because it is inconsistent with the city’s General Plan and it would facilitate development of huge parcels of open space without a community visioning process, such as is currently being provided for multiple other large parcels in San Jose.

The most immediate and obvious beneficiary of this harmful policy would be the owners of the 114 acre former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site, which presents an unparalleled opportunity to gain publicly accessible open space for local communities as part of a community-centered visioning process for future development of the site. If the Council would like to consider allowing this site to redevelop, the city should lead a transparent community engagement process to determine how the development of the site could meet the needs of its future residents, the larger community, and the city.

Thanks!

In order to make SanJose a liveable city, it is very important to maintain as much open space as possibe for its citizens and local wildlife. With that in mind,I write to ask that you adopt the Planning Department staff recommendation for updating Transportation Analysis Policy 5-1 while rejecting the Alternative Recommendation that would facilitate development on Private Recreation and Open Space land. Send a clear message that one developer’s interest in one potential redevelopment project should not drive the direction of Citywide policy.

Dear Representatives,
As a San Jose resident who is concerned about habitat loss in our county, I feel compelled to speak about the need to be consistent and honor our city's General Plan.
