Subject: Matthew Burrows 94019 - statement of principles for former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site Dear Mayor Mahan and City Council,
The land use plan for the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site is a unique opportunity for the City of San Jose to envision a development strategy in partnership with its residents. This is an unusually large, empty site that is very rare in our community. Its development provides an opportunity to address multiple needs.

Statement of Principles from community members:

1. Housing and adequate parking with a gradual transition from existing single family homes on Flint Ave and Vista Verde Ave to higher density, including 15%+ affordable housing interspersed on site (such as for seniors, firefighters, teachers, service workers, etc.)

2. Significant amounts of parkland and green space. Development on this site should include significant acreage of publicly accessible parkland, green space, and tree canopy and should prioritize native plants to maximize biodiversity and habitat value.

3. A mix of uses that includes jobs, high-quality recreational public space including a community center, and green space with quality retail and commercial facing White Rd.

4. Resilience to climate change. With the development of this site, the surrounding community will lose the cooling effect and stormwater absorption capability of the existing 115 acres of open space and tree canopy. To mitigate the impact of this loss, include green stormwater infrastructure and tree canopy in order to reduce flooding and heat island effect along with energy efficiency considerations.

5. A mix of transportation options that will directly benefit the residents of East San José.

Transportation facilitation that promotes the use of public transit and mitigates high volume campus entrance and egress on Flint Ave and Vista Verde Ave.

While it is within the city's purview to build a massive quantity of homes at this site, to protect the surrounding neighborhoods and their existing quality of life, it is requested that the overall quantity of new homes, at this site, not exceed 300% increase in density over that of the surrounding neighborhoods within a 1 mile radius of the site.

Flint Avenue is a 2 lane road. How will having so many cars from the new homes affect this area? We also need more green space and a community center near us. All the community centers are a drive away and not walkable. We need bike lanes too in this area to encourage biking. This area also needs tons of trees.

Subject: Rachel Grocha Welch 95128 - statement of principles for former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site Dear Mayor Mahan and City Council,
The land use plan for the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site is a unique opportunity for the City of San Jose to envision a development strategy in partnership with its residents. This is an unusually large, empty site that is very rare in our community. Its development provides an opportunity to address multiple needs.

Statement of Principles from community members:

3. A mix of uses that includes jobs, high-quality recreational public space including a community center, and green space with quality retail and commercial facing White Rd.

5. A mix of transportation options that will directly benefit the residents of East San José.

Transportation facilitation that promotes the use of public transit and mitigates high volume campus entrance and egress on Flint Ave and Vista Verde Ave.

The EastSide has been a step child for so many years. Now is the time and the opportunity to bring a little equality to this section of the city. Multiple neds can be met with this opportunity.

Don't short change this area again.

The land use plan for the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site is a unique opportunity for the City of San Jose to envision a development strategy in partnership with its residents. This is an unusually large, empty site that is very rare in our community. Its development provides an opportunity to address multiple needs.

3. A mix of uses that includes jobs, high quality recreational public space including a community center, and green space with quality retail and commercial facing White Rd.

5. A mix of transportation options that will directly benefit the residents of East San José.

No to all development. We have very very little open space left. Leave it alone. New York City has more dedicated open space/parks than we can even dream of. No development . No Housing.

No anything. Leave it as open space. Our wildlife has no where to live. Leave some land alone, we don't need to develop every in of open space.

This land provides an opportunity to create something of lasting value to the City of San Jose: a major park on the order of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. A magnificent park would be of major significance to the residents of San Jose as well as a lasting attraction to visitors from all over the Bay Area. Open space for recreation, natural beauty and habitat for plants, animals, and birds, would be a meaningful contribution to the ongoing issues of climate change and mental and physical health of everyone. This would be infinitely more useful to a larger number of the population than any other conceivable use of the property.

Subject: Gustave Meyner 95127 - Restore Virtual Comments at City Council meetings Dear Mayor Mahan and San José City Council,
I ask you to rise to the challenge rather than cave to bullies intent on stifling the input of disadvantaged communities. The City needs to immediately restore virtual public comment for all City Council, Committee, and Commission meetings.

It is clear there is an effort to silence members of disadvantaged communities. Many residents rely on being able to provide virtual public comment due to reasons of disability, health, work schedules, parenting and other demands of modern life. The strategy appears to be to engage in racist and hateful speech in order to bully the Council into eliminating virtual public comment. The bullies scored a victory when the Council decided to eliminate this option without first seeking community input and not at the bequest from community members.

By eliminating remote access on the heels of restricting access to the council chambers in December, San José has fallen from a model of good government dedicated to promoting civic participation to a city displaying troubling behavior and giving the impression that hearing from its residents is a bother.

We agree that the comments of a few bad actors are vile and have no place in a community meeting.

Rather than using racist and hateful speech as an excuse to cut off community participation and hamper people’s First Amendment right to petition their government, however, the City should rise to the challenge of finding solutions to preserve access for everyone while continuing to facilitate public comment by providing a virtual option.

Ending the process of remote participation, is to deny a large segment of the community the opportunity to participate in our democratic process. Some examples include:
-- Disabled residents who rely on technology to speak, or who otherwise have to arrange rides with Paratransit.
-- Immunocompromised residents who take on unnecessary risks to their health by spending hours in 6/3/24, 10 21 AM Mail Rules and Open Government Committee Agendas Outlook https //outlook office365 com/mail/rulescommitteeagenda@sanjoseca gov/inbox/id/AAQkADhhYzk3NTk1LTBmZDAtNDc4Yi1hN2Q0LTZjNmZjNTk5MT 1/2 Public Record: 29
This message is from outside the City email system. Do not open links or attachments from untrusted sources. a packed room.

Working people without the ability to arrange their schedules around hours long council meetings.

For example, budget season is the most critical time of year for civic engagement. The ban on remote comments means the people most in need of an equitable city budget will be sidelined throughout the process.

The possibility that the ban on remote comments might only last months is no comfort to those who wish to comment on current City Council, Committee and Commission matters in order to ensure that quality of life in San Jose is maximized. I ask that you immediately restore virtual public comment to ensure that you and the City once again benefit from the voices silenced by your recent decision. restore the public's ability to comment on issues!

I ask you to rise to the challenge rather than cave to bullies intent on stifling the input of disadvantaged communities. The City needs to immediately restore virtual public comment for all City Council, Committee, and Commission meetings.

We agree that the comments of a few bad actors are vile and have no place in a community meeting.

Many seniors are still concerned about exposure to Covid in crowds of people not wearing masks. The death
rate for those over 70 from Covid is very high. And yet those over 70 deserve the chance to voice their
concerns to the City Council about the budget and all
items discussed and voted on by the Council throughout
the year. Further, we are tax payers/residents/and voters! Why does the City Council have the right to
deny us participation in our City's political decisions.

The very decisions that often have resounding negative effects on the residents. For once show by
example that the City Council is open and welcoming
to all comments and opinions from residents and re instate virtual public comment.

Trending: transparency. Please do not silence the voices of your constituents. During Covid I watched meetings on Zoom. It was very educational. Since then life got back to normal and I have gotten out of the habit of participating in Council meetings. I am getting back into it, so please do not silence my voice. Due to caring for my mother and social anxiety I am unable to attend in person. The disabled in the community need to have a voice if they so choose. It’s not cool to only allow folks who can attend in person to voice their opinions.

Subject: Veronica Licon 95122 - Restore Virtual Comments at City Council meetings Dear Mayor Mahan and San José City Council,
I ask you to rise to the challenge rather than cave to bullies intent on stifling the input of disadvantaged communities. The City needs to immediately restore virtual public comment for all City Council, Committee, and Commission meetings.

We agree that the comments of a few bad actors are vile and have no place in a community meeting.

Ending the process of remote participation, is to deny a large segment of the community the opportunity to participate in our democratic process. Some examples include:

Disabled residents who rely on technology to speak, or who otherwise have to arrange rides with Paratransit.

Give the people of this east side community a voice to vote on what we want in place at the old golf course

Let us think of our teenagers as we look to plan, our teenagers need fun but wholesome activities.

Some Ideas:

Large wood working shop where they may create and learn a skill, a maker space to promote entrepreneurship, Ice rink an indoor riding facility etc.

Thank you for considering.

Protect Our Parks. We ask you to ensure that the definition of parkland fully protects existing, under construction, and planned parks in the City of San José.

Parks are important to the residents of San José across the city. Rich or poor, young or old, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, or ability: parks are important to us all – for our physical health, our mental health, and the health of the community.

The City Charter states “the public parks of the City shall be inalienable unless otherwise authorized by the affirmative votes of the majority of the electors voting on such a proposition in each case.” Further, the Charter states “[a]s used herein ‘public parks’ means any and all lands of the City which have been or are dedicated, improved and opened to the public for public park purposes.” Additionally, the staff's memo (https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument? id=108319&t=638406648249390275) notes:
"Opened to the public for public park purposes means that the public can access the park and enjoy the space. In other words, the City has made the space useable and safe for the public to use. This also includes open space in its natural condition with minimal or no improvements that are intended to be opened to the public."
I urge the Council to ensure parks are protected in their entirety. Whether “improved” parks, or unimproved parks that focus public access on contemplative, passive enjoyment of the natural environment and its biological resources. I urge the Council to push for precise and expansive language to provide the maximum protection of our park lands. I also urge the Council to recommend that the City take steps to ensure the protection of planned or under construction parks. In addition, I request that staff include a full list of the recognized Chartered Parks in the report, and in a maintained online directory, for public transparency.

Many neighborhoods are working to establish parks in their community or they use an area as a park, although it isn’t necessarily dedicated or improved. The definition needs to protect and honor these spaces, especially since many underserved communities historically were not built with parks in mind.

Subject: Gary Gilroy 95148 - statement of principles for former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site Dear Mayor Mahan and City Council,
The land use plan for the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site is a unique opportunity for the City of San Jose to envision a development strategy in partnership with its residents. This is an unusually large, empty site that is very rare in our community. Its development provides an opportunity to address multiple needs.

Statement of Principles from community members:

3. A mix of uses that includes jobs, high-quality recreational public space including a community center, and green space with quality retail and commercial facing White Rd.

5. A mix of transportation options that will directly benefit the residents of East San José.

Transportation facilitation that promotes the use of public transit and mitigates high volume campus entrance and egress on Flint Ave and Vista Verde Ave.

Protect Our Parks. We ask you to ensure that the definition of parkland fully protects existing, under construction, and planned parks in the City of San José.

We are in need of more parks and open space. Please DO NOT BUILd MORE HOUSING.! Parks are important to the residents of San José across the city. Rich or poor, young or old, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, or ability: parks are important to us all – for our physical health, our mental health, and the health of the community.

The City Charter states “the public parks of the City shall be inalienable unless otherwise authorized by the affirmative votes of the majority of the electors voting on such a proposition in each case.” Further, the Charter states “[a]s used herein ‘public parks’ means any and all lands of the City which have been or are dedicated, improved and opened to the public for public park purposes.” Additionally, the staff's memo (https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument? id=108319&t=638406648249390275) notes:
"Opened to the public for public park purposes means that the public can access the park and enjoy the space. In other words, the City has made the space useable and safe for the public to use. This also includes open space in its natural condition with minimal or no improvements that are intended to be opened to the public."
I urge the Council to ensure parks are protected in their entirety. Whether “improved” parks, or unimproved parks that focus public access on contemplative, passive enjoyment of the natural environment and its biological resources. I urge the Council to push for precise and expansive language to provide the maximum protection of our park lands. I also urge the Council to recommend that the City take steps to ensure the protection of planned or under-construction parks.

Protect Our Parks. We ask you to ensure that the definition of parkland fully protects existing, under construction, and planned parks in the City of San José.

Parks have so many benefits for society and for the environment. We have a lot to lose if we lose our parks and it is worth investing to protect this asset.

The City Charter states “the public parks of the City shall be inalienable unless otherwise authorized by the affirmative votes of the majority of the electors voting on such a proposition in each case.” Further, the Charter states “[a]s used herein ‘public parks’ means any and all lands of the City which have been or are dedicated, improved and opened to the public for public park purposes.” Additionally, the staff's memo (https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument? id=108319&t=638406648249390275) notes:
"Opened to the public for public park purposes means that the public can access the park and enjoy the space. In other words, the City has made the space useable and safe for the public to use. This also includes open space in its natural condition with minimal or no improvements that are intended to be opened to the public."
I urge the Council to ensure parks are protected in their entirety. Whether “improved” parks, or unimproved parks that focus public access on contemplative, passive enjoyment of the natural environment and its biological resources. I urge the Council to push for precise and expansive language to provide the maximum protection of our park lands.

Protect Our Parks. We ask you to ensure that the definition of parkland fully protects existing, under construction, and planned parks in the City of San José.

The importance of city parks cannot be overstated. Places for people of all ages to enjoy outdoor activities together is essential to the health and well being of individuals, the community as a whole, and to the betterment of all society. People are happier and healthier when they can spend time in a community setting of trees, plants, birds, walking paths, benches, and ponds. A city the size of San Jose needs and deserves a park on the scale of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco or Central Park in NYC. We just need the vision and determination of our City leaders to make it happen.

I urge the Council to ensure parks are protected in their entirety. Whether “improved” parks, or unimproved parks that focus public access on contemplative, passive enjoyment of the natural environment and its biological resources. I urge the Council to push for precise and expansive language to provide the maximum protection of our park lands.

I ask you to rise to the challenge rather than cave to bullies intent on stifling the input of disadvantaged communities. The City needs to immediately restore virtual public comment for all City Council, Committee, and Commission meetings.

We agree that the comments of a few bad actors are vile and have no place in a community meeting.

Ending the process of remote participation, is to deny a large segment of the community the opportunity to participate in our democratic process. Some examples include:

Unlike many neighboring cities, San Jose's regulation for safe gun storage only requires safe storage when adults are away from home. I know from my own childhood memories that I was curious and explored whether or not my parents were home. I believe that childhood accidents with guns could be better prevented if our City's safe gun storage could be expanded to safe storage at all times. I hope our City Council will look at this regulation and consider improving it.
