Public
Comment
during
the
City
Council
Meeting:
You may speak to the City Council about any discussion item that is on the agenda, and you may also speak during Open Forum on items that are not on the agenda and are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City Council. Please be advised that, by law, the City Council is unable to discuss or take action on issues presented during Open Forum. According to State Law (the Brown Act) items must first be noticed on the agenda before any discussion or action.
Each speaker generally has two minutes to speak per item. The total amount of time allocated for public testimony for each public speakers or for an agenda item may be limited at the Mayor’s discretion, depending on the number of speakers or the length of the agenda. (California Government Code Section 54954.3; Council Policy 0-37) Fill out a Yellow Speaker’s Card and submit it to boxes at the bottom of the Chambers. Do this before the meeting or before the item is heard. This will ensure that the name on the card is called for the item(s) that you wish to address, and it will help ensure the meeting runs smoothly for all participants by calling speakers in an orderly manner. You may remain anonymous, but please fill out a card so we may call you. You can put “anonymous speaker” or “no name” on the card. When the Council reaches your item on the agenda, the Mayor will open the public hearing and call your name. Please address the Council from the podium, which is located to the left of the City Clerk’s table. To assist you in tracking your speaking time, there is a display on the podium. The green light turns on when you begin speaking; the yellow light turns on when you have 30 seconds left; and the red light turns on when your speaking time is up.

Street.
Recommendation:
(a) Conduct an Administrative Hearing to consider the appeal of the Planning Director’s approval of a Site Development Permit to allow the construction of a one-story, approximately 5,139-square-foot quick-service restaurant with an outdoor patio and the removal of 20 ordinance-size trees on an approximately 1.09-gross-acre site, located on the northwest corner of Race Street and West San Carlos Street (1301 West San Carlos Street and 255-263 Race Street).
Adopt a resolution denying the environmental appeal and upholding the Planning Director’s reliance on the Categorical Exemption under Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines for the 1301 West San Carlos Street Chick-fil-A Project in accordance with CEQA, as amended, and finding that the:
City Council has independently reviewed and analyzed the Categorical Exemption for the 1301 West San Carlos Street Chick-fil-A Project and related administrative records related to Site Development Permit No. H24-046; Categorical Exemption for the 1301 West San Carlos Street Chick-fil-A Project was prepared and completed in full compliance with the CEQA, as amended, together with state and local implementation guidelines; Reliance on the Categorical Exemption for the 1301 West San Carlos Street Chick-fil-A Project reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City of San José, as the lead agency for the Project; and Preparation of an Environmental Impact Report or Mitigated Negative Declaration/Negative Declaration is not required because the appeal does not raise any issues that would disqualify the project from a Categorical Exemption under Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines.
Adopt a resolution approving the permit appeal and approving, subject to conditions, a modified Site Development Permit removing Condition 6 and allowing the construction of a one-story, approximately 5,139-square-foot quick-service restaurant with an outdoor patio through the demolition of an approximately 3,817-square-foot commercial building and the removal of 20 ordinance-size trees on an approximately 1.09-gross-acre site, located on the northwest corner of Race Street and West San Carlos Street (1301 West San Carlos Street and 255-263 Race Street).

Objects that are deemed a threat to persons at the meeting or the facility infrastructure are not allowed. City staff is authorized to remove items and/or individuals from the Council Chambers and Committee Rooms if a threat exists or is perceived to exist. Prohibited items include, but are not limited to: firearms (including replicas and antiques), toy guns, explosive material, and ammunition; knives and other edged weapons; illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia; laser pointers, scissors, razors, scalpels, box cutting knives, and other cutting tools; letter openers, corkscrews, can openers with points, knitting needles, and hooks; hairspray, pepper spray, and aerosol containers; tools; glass containers; and large backpacks and suitcases that contain items unrelated to the meeting.
Addressing the Council, Committee, Board or Commission:
Persons wishing to speak on an agenda item or during open forum are requested to complete a speaker card and submit the card to the City Clerk or other administrative staff at the meeting.
Meeting attendees are usually given two (2) minutes to speak on any discussion item and/or during open forum; the total amount of time allocated for public testimony for each public speaker or for an agenda item is in the discretion of the Chair of the meeting and may be limited when appropriate. (California Government Code Section 54954.3; Council Policy 0-37) Applicants and appellants in land use matters are usually given more time to speak.

Speakers’ comments should be addressed to the full body. Requests to engage the Mayor, Council Members, Board Members, Commissioners or Staff in conversation will not be honored. Abusive language is inappropriate.
Speakers will not bring to the podium any items other than a prepared written statement, writing materials, or objects that have been inspected by security staff.’ If an individual wishes to submit written information, he or she may give it to the City Clerk or other administrative staff at the meeting.
Speakers and any other members of the public will not approach the dais at any time without prior consent from the Chair of the meeting.
Failure to comply with this Code of Conduct which will disturb, disrupt or impede the orderly conduct of the meeting may result in removal from the meeting and/or possible arrest.
