“Where do I begin on this? This is the most cockeyed thing I've ever read. It's like they're taking control of a private property and telling us what to do. Let me give you an example. When I was going through this, when you were reading this, the staff did a good report presenting this. One of the things that I was... I just couldn't believe it in my head was, let's say that I own a property and I have a fourplex on it, but I decided to tear it down and build, instead of a fourplex, I'm going to build a fourplex with a main unit in front and have one of my family members live in the main…”

“Excuse me. You're not answering my question. Stop saying community feedback because sometimes with community feedback, a lot of people don't hear about it and it's only a question and answer thing that's slated. I want to know who did this.

“I'll stop right now. Just wait a second. I'm used to just getting an answer. If I do something, I say I did something, I was responsible for something, but apparently I'm not going to get that answer. That's all I wanted to know, but apparently right now I'm not going to get that answer.”

“I just wanted to say something here. I wanted to be in the planning commission one thing because I care about the city and I care about the residents of the city. The regulations, a lot of the regulations are being made. I understand that if you work for the city, you don't have to live in the city, but a lot of the regulations that will affect all of the citizens of the city and the property owners of the cities are made, but people don't live in the city of Santa Clara. They'll never have any intentions of moving to the city of Santa Clara. In itself, I can say I'm prejudiced when it comes…”

“Chair, one more question before you go. I was just talking to a fellow commissioner here. How many of you knew that they had this issue that the questionnaire has the same community outreach and see what your thoughts were? How many of you were notified of that? Were you notified of that? Were you notified of that, Eric? No. I wasn't? He wasn't. You have the whole complete planning commission here. Never heard anything about this and never notified us. I don't know who you were talking to.”

“Got a question. Isn't the Sutter Health also coming there with a hospital close, going to be close to the area, isn't it? And then we have the University of Santa Clara. And don't forget the 49er games, especially when you have Bible study between 1 to 5, you can have 49er games on Sundays. How close are they going to be to Sutter Health?”
