PARKS AND RECREATION
PR1. This memo assumes the Project is not a subdivision and the Mitigation Fee Act (MFA) provisions will apply. The project will generate an estimated 142 residents (2.4 persons/household x 59 units). Based on the MFA standard of 2.6 acres/1000 residents, the amount of public parkland required for this Project to mitigate the impact of the new resident demand is approximately 0.3682-acres and the equivalent fee due in lieu of parkland dedication is $2,327,786. Housing developments for which 100% of the units are affordable to low and/or moderate income households are eligible for an additional 15% credit toward the parkland dedication requirement or fees in lieu thereof; provided that the approving authority finds that (1) the development complies with all other provisions of this section and that (2) providing the additional credit would serve the public interest. The fee due in lieu of parkland dedication with a 15% credit is $1,978,618. Final calculations will depend upon the actual number and type of units and the mix of parkland dedicated and remaining fee due, at the discretion of the City.

PR2. In lieu fees imposed under Chapter 17.35 shall be due and payable to the City prior to issuance of a building permit for each dwelling unit. Please provide documentation in writing to this Department if both a. and b. apply to this project:
a. The project is developed by a nonprofit housing developer. b. At least 49% of the units are reserved for occupancy by lower-income households at an affordable rent. Lower income in this context means ≤ 80% AMI, so moderate-income developments would not qualify.

PR3. Dwelling Unit Tax. A dwelling unit tax (DUT) is also due based on the number of units and additional bedrooms per City Code Chapter 3.15. The Project mix includes 0 studio

3194 Stevens Creek Blvd – The Meridian PLN1-15213 Conditions of Approval Page 18 of 18 units, 10 one-bedroom units, 20 two-bedroom units, 24 three-bedroom units and 5 four- bedroom units for a total DUT of $1,300.

PR4. Calculations may change if the number of units change, if any areas do not conform to the Ordinance and City Code Chapter 17.35, and/or if the fee schedule for new residential development fees due in lieu of parkland dedication changes before this Project is deemed complete by Planning.

Dear Mayor Gillmor, Vice Mayor Jain, and Councilmembers Watanabe, Chahal, Hardy, Park, and Becker.

On behalf of our members, I write today to express our support for CRP Affordable Housing and Community Development's 59-unit 100% affordable mixed-use housing development at 3941 Stevens Creel< Boulevard in Santa Clara.

Residents of Santa Clara are in desperate need of affordable housing solutions and are facing extreme pressure due to the City's lack of affordable housing. In fact, the average monthly rent for atwo-bedroom apartment in Santa Clara is currently $3,156, requiring an annual income of over $126,240 to afford (Apartments.com, Danuary 2022). This development offers a partial solution for addressing the city's affordable housing challenge.

The project is well located and offers the city a unique opportunity to bring affordability to an area that currently provides little housing choice. The development will serve large families with a diverse mix of bedroom types (10 one-, 20 two-, 24 three-,and 5four-bedroom units), bringing 59 affordable homes within walking distance of several amenities affording residents housing solutions in a vibrant, well designed, and accessible location.

W e are pleased that CRP Affordable Housing and Community Development has worked collaboratively to incorporate design feedback provided by staff and the community to bring ahigh-quality mixed-used affordable housing proposal to Santa Clara.

W e urge City Council to take action to approve staff's recommendation to adopt a resolution approving the Sustainable Cornmunities Project Exemption io exempt the project from CEQA review and approve the architectural review of the 100% affordable mixed-use project to enable this 59-unit affordable development to move forward.

Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: RE: Updated Elevation
Hi Steve,
Attached are the three views of the enhanced elevations from the PPT. They actually do not exist anywhere else yet. We have not modified either the entitlement or permit sets.

They are minor, voluntary enhancements including:

1. On the Steven's Creek elevation, changing the center area color from the medium gray t the dark blue.

2. Using the orange accent color from the ground floor recesses, in upper recess areas instead of white.

3. Adding awnings at the vehicular garage entrance and 3 access doors to the amenity area on the podium, in the same design as those on the Steven's Creek elevation.

As noted, these are not per the objective standards, and are voluntary ideas in response to feedback we've heard.

We are happy to proceed with either the original design, or these color/awning enhancements.

Does this give you what you need?

I'm sending this to you as the document shown below advised public comments can be made via email to the Planning Division. Forgive me but when I went to the site)PlanningPublicComment(a~santClaraCA.gov, I did not find an email address to submit my comments. If you would be so kind as to either email me back as to where to send or share with the appropriate folks for the meeting /discussion prior to 12pm 25January for the 6pm virtual meeting being held tomorrow evening.

PLN21-15213
3941 Stevens Creek Blvd — 0.51 acre corner of Stevens Creek/Buckingham Drive. APN:294-39-010. 59 UNIT MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IN SIX STORY BUILDING. "affordable" mixed use —what is the definition of affordable in this case?
This area here is densely populated with existing multiple condo neighborhoods, apartments, both newer and older. We don't need a 6 story building with all the extras that need to support it, water, electricity, parking, and traffic. This area is heavy on traffic with the 280 freeway and the "normal" Stevens Creek/Saratoga traffic issues.

Santa Clara is getting saturated with so many new housing, big multi- purpose buildings, construction projects, it's really taking away the vibe and feel of a lovely homey city. It's going to be gridlock both on the street and in neighborhoods.

Pretty soon we'll not even see the sky anymore. .
appreciate any assistance you can provide in steering this over to the right department.

Thanks for your time today,
Sincerely,
Michelle Scarborough

The Housing Action Coalition is a nonprofit that advocates for building more housing for residents of all income levels to help alleviate the Bay Area's housing shortage, displacement, and affordability crisis. Our region is in dire need of more well-designed and well-located housing.

Our staff was able to meet with the project team to learn about the Meridian in more detail.

Although the tight timeline of the January 25th hearing did not allow our Project Review Committee to fully review the project, we were pleased with the project's commitment to affordability, proximity to a variety of amenities, and on-site environmental features.

All of the 59 homes will be subsidized affordable at a range of 30-60% AMI. With a unit mix of one through four bedroom apartments, the Meridian will provide homes for a diverse range of households. Creating more housing of all kinds is essential to alleviate our region's affordability and displacement crisis, and this is especially true of 100% affordable projects, such as the Meridian. We look forward to reviewing the project in full, as HAC strongly supports this type of housing.

Sincerely,
