**Subject: Public Comment on Agenda Item [26-949] - Multifamily Housing Incentive Program Tax/Fee Waiver at 3896 Stevens Creek Blvd.** Dear City Council Members, I am writing to comment on Agenda Item [26-949] regarding the proposed residential tax and fee waiver for the multifamily housing development at 3896 Stevens Creek Blvd. This item involves trade-offs that warrant careful consideration: **Potential benefits:** Waiving taxes and fees for this multifamily development could make the project financially viable, potentially adding needed housing units to our community. Such incentives may encourage developers to build housing at a time when construction costs and other barriers make projects difficult to pencil out, which could help address housing supply constraints. **Potential concerns:** Tax and fee waivers reduce public revenue that would otherwise fund city services, infrastructure, and amenities. This means other revenue sources must compensate, or service levels may be affected. Additionally, while incentives may spur housing construction, there is no guarantee regarding the affordability level of the units produced or whether the waiver is necessary for project viability. [I care about this issue because: _________________________________________________] I encourage the Council to carefully evaluate whether this waiver strikes the right balance between promoting housing development and maintaining adequate public resources. **Please verify the current deadline and proper submission process for public comments by checking the official city agenda source, as these details may change.** Respectfully, [Your Name] [Your Address]

Urgency (now): Non-consent item scheduled for decision tomorrow (September 15, 2026) involving a Site Development Permit and Vesting Tentative Map for specific real property, which are concrete development decisions requiring a vote.
Summary: The city is reviewing a combined development permit that would allow a developer to prepare a specific property located at Cozy Drive and Glider Drive for construction, subdivide it into multiple parcels, and establish long-term development rights. The proposal requires approval of site development plans, a tentative subdivision map, and environmental review findings.

**Public Comment Template: Site Development Permit and Vesting Tentative Map at Cozy Drive and Glider Drive** Dear [City Council/Planning Commission/Appropriate Body], I am writing to comment on Agenda Item [26-953] regarding the Site Development Permit and Vesting Tentative Map for property located at Cozy Drive and Glider Drive (H23-028, T23-022 & ER23-230). [INSERT YOUR PERSONAL REASON FOR CARING ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT HERE - for example, you live nearby, work in the area, have concerns about specific impacts, support housing development in general, etc.] This development proposal relates to housing affordability in our community. New residential development can increase the overall housing supply, which may help moderate housing costs over time. However, depending on the project's specifics, such as the number of units, their size, target price points, and whether any affordable housing requirements apply, this particular project may or may not directly address the need for housing that is affordable to lower- and middle-income residents. Additionally, new development brings considerations regarding infrastructure capacity, traffic impacts, environmental review findings, neighborhood character, and how well the project aligns with existing planning documents. These factors may complement or conflict with housing supply goals. I encourage the [body name] to carefully weigh these considerations when evaluating this application. **Please verify the current deadline and proper submission process for public comments by consulting the official city agenda or contacting the city clerk's office directly.** Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [Your Contact Information]
Relevance: This is a zoning code amendment specifically addressing reasonable accommodation, which directly relates to disability access and fair housing compliance in land use, the core of the housing accessibility priority.
Urgency (digest): This is a consent-calendar zoning code amendment related to reasonable accommodation provisions, meeting tomorrow on 2026-09-15, but the title alone does not reveal concrete controversy or unusual provisions that would justify requesting it be pulled from the batch vote.
Summary: The City is proposing to amend its zoning code to establish a formal process for people with disabilities to request reasonable accommodations or modifications to zoning rules and regulations. This would create a clear procedure for residents to seek exceptions to standard zoning requirements when necessary to ensure equal access to housing and compliance with federal and state fair housing laws.
Relevance: A planned development permit typically authorizes new residential or mixed-use development, which would affect housing supply and potentially affordability in the area. Without details on project size, affordability requirements, or parking impacts, the clearest connection is to housing supply policy.
Urgency (digest): Though a consent item scheduled 1 day from reference_date, this is a planned development permit for a specific property address, which represents a concrete land use decision, but the text itself provides no signal of controversy, unusual cost, or non-routine provisions that would warrant pulling it from consent.
Summary: The city is considering a planned development permit for property at 5651 Cottle Road. This permit would allow development that differs from standard zoning rules, requiring special approval for the specific project proposed at this location. The applicant is identified by the permit numbers PD25-020 and ER25-212.
