ENJOY ! Allan '1 Am an American: The ' ,wNro . g. Kim Ark Story Written by Martha Brockenbrough and Grace Lin; illustrated by Julia Kuo (Little, Brown; 40 pages; $18.99; ages 4-8) This narrowly focused story concerns a little-known real -life case with broad implications. In 1895, San Francisco -born Wong Kim Arklreturns home after a visit to China but finds himself detained by authorities, setting in motion a legal struggle over what makes someone an American.. Poster -style art conveys racial division in a city known today for its diversity as we learn that, although the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to all persons born in the United States, government lawyers argue that Wong Kim Ark's Chinese ancestry made him "unfit" to be American. All the while, Ark insists, "I am an American." This landmark case lands in the Supreme Court, which ultimately decides in Ark's favor upholding the right to "birthright" citizenship going forward.

RE: Morgan Stanley Palo Alto Location: 245 Lytton, Palo Alto Building Permit Dear Mr. Chung- I work for the owner, Morgan Stanley for the above building permit (21BLD-01482). We are concerned about the lack of action by the city of Palo Alto in issuing our project for permit. We have been waiting for final comments and to date nothing has been released regarding our latest submission. This process has been going back and forth for a ½ year. Morgan Stanley has been a long term tenant in this market, and we are starting to be concerned by the lack of resolve for a simple Tenant Improvement application. The application is going on 6+ months. While I understand the challenges in general with Building Departments and COVID, this is excessive and exhausting. We are spending tremendous amount of money for extended schedules and coordination, resubmissions and what appears to be endless comments. I am often reminded that extended reviews are common for the City of Palo Alto from other industry peers and contractors. But why 6+ months? Can you kindly review this project and advise on when and where the last comments are? We see from your portal that there is another round of comments- but these were not released by 1/13 as was planned for. We have gone through so many rounds of reviews, delaying trades, furniture, and BU operations as a result of these delays. No business can wait this long for a building permit. Us like you have a responsibility to deliver for our employees and clients. We currently are not able to do this or provide any sort of reassurance that this project can be completed in the near future. We are very disappointed with this progress and with the unforseen financial & operational impacts of these delayed review comments. We hired a national Architect- Stantec with an exceptional track record in the Bay Area and beyond to ensure we provided the best possible plans and specs to your agency & our stakeholders. I really look forward to hearing from you so I can advise our senior team on the outcome. I am always available for questions or concerns. I look forward to your response.

Regards, Enid Pearson Palo Alto City Council, 1965-1975 Enid Pearson, 1019 Forest Court, Palo Alto, CA 94301 January 12, 2022 Palo Alto City Council Palo Alto, CA 94301 Re: Heritage Tree Designation by City Council Dear Mayor Burt and Members of the Palo Alto City Council: This is my application for a Heritage Tree Designation by the City Council for a beautiful coast redwood tree that is on my property at 1019 Forest Court. It would be an extraordinary addition to Palo Alto’s Urban Forestry program for Heritage Trees. I have included a report from one of Palo Alto’s finest arborists, David Dockter, and several pictures of the tree, including a painting of the tree by my granddaughter, Bryn Barton. When I moved into my Forest Court home in 1977, the yard was barren, except for two badly trimmed and topped eucalyptus trees and one desperate oak in the middle of the yard. This was also the year we had one of our unusually rainy storms and during the night the poor oak just fell over taking out part of the fence, leaving my house intact. After the cleanup, I consulted with my friend Mary Gordon, Landscape Architect, and she recommended planting the African Linden and the Coast Redwood. I have kept the African Linden (which was from a pot at my former house) well in check and the Redwood was allowed to grow at will, with regular watering. Today this wonderful tree is over 65 inches in diameter and 163 feet in height. I think it is magnificent. It belongs on Palo Alto’s list of significant trees – El Palo Alto’s neighbor! One of Palo Alto’s most beloved assets is its trees. It is quite wonderful to drive (or walk) down our streets and marvel at the great variety and number of trees. It was always my aim when I was on the council that any development that proposed taking out a tree was obligated to plant a replacement. It was most painful when developments replaced trees with what I called “buggy-whip saplings” which usually took another 20 years to grow to 20 feet tall, if they even survived that long. I compliment you on your recently revised tree ordinance; you recognized Palo Alto’s great tree value. If you read David Dockter’s assessment of my proposed designated heritage tree I think you will appreciate my desire to protect this tree for future Palo Altans. I request that this Council add this incredible tree to its list of Heritage Trees. Thank you. Enid Pearson, former Councilmember, 1965-75. Enid Pearson, signature the ARBOR ADVISOR David Dockter ~ Freelance consulting services ~ 255 Calle Marguerita, Los Gatos, California 95032 ~ Phone: 408-318-7316 ~ davedockter@comcast.net ~ ISA Qualified Risk Assessor ~ American Planning Association ~ ISA Certified Arborist #WE-0351 January 5, 2022 Ms. Enid Pearson 1019 Forest Court Palo Alto, CA 94301 RE: Heritage Tree Designation—Arborist Report of a Coast Redwood Dear Ms. Pearson: Thank you for the opportunity to assist with your request for an arborist report for a Coast redwood tree on your property. I understand you are proposing the tree be considered for a City of Palo Alto Urban Forestry program for Heritage Trees, a formal Resolution by City Council for designated trees that meet certain qualifications1. This report is prepared for the purpose of providing both you and City Council with an overview of the tree's size, health, history, and value to the community to aid their consideration of the tree to be designated. The City of Palo Alto Heritage Tree designation would be in addition to its existing status of a protected tree pursuant to the Tree Preservation and Management Regulations, Palo Alto Municipal Code, Chapter 8.10. I am a qualified arborist certified by the International Society of Arboriculture 2. Because of the considerations and findings documented below, I believe that the Heritage Tree candidate Coast redwood is unique and of importance to the community because it is a desirable species, healthy, sizable, and is perhaps one of the best examples of a Coast redwood in the city. LOCATION OF THE TREE The tree is located on your property at 1019 Forest Court, Palo Alto, California. It is well-placed in the northwest rear yard corner within the side and rear setback area, safely distant from primary structures in all directions. A typical good-neighbor wood fence to the north is approximately two feet clear from the tree base and a wrought iron view fence is located near the base on the west side. The dominant tree is standing compatible among several understory shrubs and trees sharing its environs, including a rare African Linden (Sparrmannia Africana) and Argyle Apple (Eucalyptus cineria). SPECIES, HABITAT, SIZE AND AGE OF THE TREE The subject tree, a Sequoia sempervirens ‘Los Altos’, Coast redwood is native to California and indigenous to the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The variety, ‘Los Altos’, is propagated from an original parent tree of the Los Altos foothill region adjacent to Palo Alto. This is considered a beneficial asset and may well ensure this individual tree’s prognosis to be more adaptable and resilient to climate or other stresses than other varieties sold on the market and planted throughout California. The Coast redwood tree is 65-inches in diameter, 163- feet in height and has a lower crown dimension of 54-feet x 42-feet. I understand that you planted the young tree (3-yr. Typ. age) in 1977, putting the current age of the redwood tree at 48 years—or nearly half a century old. 1 Heritage Tree Checklist. Tree Technical Manual, 6th printing.

Its root growth has been opportunistic in the regional alkaline soil (proximity to San Francisquito Creek alluvial sediment) and water table, as well as incidental landscaping surface water from yards. My general observations indicate that the tree is: a handsome upright tree visible from distant neighborhood streets exceptional in structure, dark green foliage color and aesthetic beauty supporting fair annual shoot growth (an average of six inches over the last 5 years) well-rooted with little chance of toppling over adapted nicely to the regional soil characteristics The exceptional tree structure and superior crown is evident from many years of professional maintenance practices from tree workers under your direction. Absent of many common deficiencies, the single upright stem has no side spar trunks or bifurcated top, only a minor basal flare, and branch lengths on the entire tree have been proportionally tipped for safety. This end-weight pruning of branch ends yields a minimal risk of branch failure and a strong structure able to withstand strong prevailing winds. Coast redwoods are resilient--not prone to many insects, disease, or fire. The tree needs no special attention other than pruning. CULTURAL AND FAMILY LEGACY SIGNIFICANCE You have reported to me that the Coast redwood tree has been lovingly recreated by your granddaughter, Ms. Bryn Barton, with a wonderful patio fresco mural painting executed on the outside wall of your home. The backyard wall painting, protected in an alcove from the elements by the roof eve overhang depicts the special Coast redwood tree among other natural elements envisioned by the artist. From the vantage of the family patio, viewing the painted wall fresco with its playfully designed tree theme, the onlooker can simply look up over the eves to see the actual living redwood tree towering over the roofline. A fresco painted on real property reinforces a relative permanence of the tree to the property and neighborhood. City Council may wish to consider this importance of the tree + fresco family legacy element when determining the Heritage Tree designation. In addition to the family legacy significance of the redwood, the tree species is in good company associated with the El Palo Alto Redwood 3, a local cultural resource and California State Historical Landmark #2. APPRAISAL AND TREE BENEFITS National, state, municipal and real estate recognize that plants have value beyond their aesthetic contribution to a landscape, and that their contribution can be assessed. The following horticultural appraisal, using the current Guide for Plant Appraisal authored by the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers and published by the International Society of Arboriculture, includes consideration of the tree species, size, condition, and location/tree placement factors that influence the value of a tree. The appraised value of the Coast redwood Heritage Tree candidate is estimated to be $40,6004. 3 El Palo Alto Redwood Report.

Community-wide tree benefits can be understood and forecasted by using the National Tree Benefits Calculator using i-Tree. For approximate reference a 45-inch trunk size Coast redwood may provide the following annual benefits to the local community5 through cost-avoidance or accrued value: A 45-inch Coast redwood will raise the property value by $405 this year and will add 387 sq. ft. of leaf surface area, increasing in subsequent years. A 45-inch Coast redwood will conserve 525 Kilowatt hours of electricity for cooling and reduce consumption of oil or natural gas by 13 therm(s). A 45-inch Coast redwood will intercept 5931 gallons of stormwater runoff this year, acting as a mini- reservoir controlling runoff at the source. CONCLUSION Supported by the above considerations and documented findings, I find that the Heritage Tree candidate Coast redwood is unique and of importance to the community and family heritage because is a desirable species, healthy, sizable, and is perhaps one of the best examples of a Coast redwood in the city. I support the City Council designation of the Coast redwood to be added to the Heritage Tree List on behalf of the property owner and the current and future residents of the City of Palo Alto.

Located in front of a single family home, this 45 inch Coast redwood will raise the property value by $405 this year. Trees in front of single family homes have a greater property value benefit than those in front of multi-family homes, parks or commercial properties. Real estate agents have long known that trees can increase the "curb appeal" of properties thereby increasing sale prices. Research has verified this by showing that home buyers are willing to pay more for properties with ample versus few or no trees. This model uses a tree’s Leaf Surface Area (LSA) to determine increases in property values. That’s a researcher’s way of saying that a home with more trees (and more LSA) tends to have a higher value than one with fewer trees (and lower LSA). The values shown are annual and accumulate incrementally over time because each tree typically adds more leaf surface area each growing season. The amount of that increase depends on the type of tree – some add more, some less. The 45 inch Coast redwood you selected will add 387 square feet of LSA this year. In subsequent years it will add more, and the property value will increase accordingly.

Your 45 inch Coast redwood will conserve 525 Kilowatt hours of electricity for cooling and reduce consumption of oil or natural gas by 13 therm(s). Trees modify climate and conserve building energy use in three principal ways (see figure at left): Shading reduces the amount of heat absorbed and stored by buildings. Evapotranspiration converts liquid water to water vapor and cools the air by using solar energy that would otherwise result in heating of the air. Tree canopies slow down winds thereby reducing the amount of heat lost from a home, especially where conductivity is high (e.g., glass windows). Strategically placed trees can increase home energy efficiency. In summer, trees shading east and west walls keep buildings cooler. In winter, allowing the sun to strike the southern side of a building can warm interior spaces. If southern walls are shaded by dense evergreen trees there may be a resultant increase in winter heating costs.

Your 45 inch Coast redwood will intercept 5,931 gallons of stormwater runoff this year. Urban stormwater runoff (or "non-point source pollution") washes chemicals (oil, gasoline, salts, etc.) and litter from surfaces such as roadways and parking lots into streams, wetlands, rivers and oceans. The more impervious the surface (e.g., concrete, asphalt, rooftops), the more quickly pollutants are washed into our community waterways. Drinking water, aquatic life and the health of our entire ecosystem can be adversely effected by this process. Trees act as mini-reservoirs, controlling runoff at the source. Trees reduce runoff by: Intercepting and holding rain on leaves, branches and bark Increasing infiltration and storage of rainwater through the tree's root system Reducing soil erosion by slowing rainfall before it strikes the soil For more information visit: The Center for Urban Forest Research Overal Benefits Storm Water Property Value Energy Air Quality CO2 About the Model Client: Enid Pearson January 5, 2022 Site: 1019 Forest Court, Palo Alto Project Reference #: Heritage Tree Designation Page 9 of 10 ~ 255 Calle Marguerita, Los Gatos, California 95032 ~ Phone: 408-318-7316 ~ davedockter@comcast.net ~ ISA Qualified Tree Risk Assessor ~ American Planning Association ~ ISA Certified Arborist #WE-0351 EXHIBIT D DISCLOSURE AND LIMITING REPORT CONDITIONS The following terms and conditions apply to all oral and written reports and correspondence pertaining to the consultations, inspections and activities of David Dockter, consultant. 1.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Monday, Jan. 17, 2022 Ms. Sally Thiessen, State Farm agent, Fresno, Ca. Hi Ms. Thiessen, The name of my roofing company was Meraz Roofing, Inc. (559) 275- 0640. Their office is at 2380 E. Dale Ave., Fresno, Ca. 93706. Hours are M-F 9AM-5PM. Mailing address is PO Box 9456 Fresno, Ca. 93792-9456 BBB says one complaint in 3 years, zero complaints in the past 12 months. In business for 18 years. I told Mr. Meraz in an email after the roof was on that his must be the best roofing company in California. He is the owner. They really are fantastic. They did the whole job in a week. Removing the old shake roof (which goes into a big dumpster they place on your driveway), prepping the existing plywood which was under the shakes, replacing one panel of plywood that had a small hole in it., putting on the new composite roof. Wow. They said they were re-roofing a school at that time and that they have done roofs in Beverly Hills and on the coast. One of his crew said that when they do that they all stay in a motel on the coast. BTW, you cannot sell a house with a shake roof now in California. He quoted me $7,900. There were a couple of smallish items in addition, replacing that one panel of plywood, replacing maybe 12 feet of boards that run right under the rain gutters at the edge of the roof (flashing?), filling in a small gap of stucco apparent when they removed the shakes from the garage roof, and he charged me an additional $250 for those items. Can you imagine? Some outfits would have charged $500 easy. So I paid a total of $8,150.00 and was VERY glad to get a new roof for that. One roofer had told me on the phone that it might cost $30,000. After I recovered, I called my friend Dennis Balakian and he referred me to Meraz Roofing. I should note that I was fortunate to have plywood under the old shake roof. The whole house had a plywood roof under the old shingles. Not everybody has that. My neighbor across the street said they didn't have it when they replaced their roof and plywood is expensive, especially right now. Having to install the plywood if you don't have it drives up the cost significantly. I asked someone what they do when they build a house if they don't install plywood first, and he said this: Imagine the rafters running up and down from the peak of the roof down to the edge of the roof. They nail strips maybe a foot wide running across the rafters from left to right with maybe a two foot gap between them. Then, since the shingles come in panels, they can nail those panels to those strips. No plywood that way. Note re payment: I thought I would give Mr. Meraz a personal check for $8,150 since I do not give people bad checks. He didn't come on a Wednesday to get it and he didn't come on Saturday. I finally figured out that a cashier's check is what he wanted, so I told him on Sunday that I would go to my bank and get one on Monday and mail it that day, which I did, certified mail. Check dated Monday, August 9, 2021. They got it on Wednesday and they called and said they got it. So a cashier's check is the way they want to be paid. They have gotten burned on personal checks apparently. Hope all of this helps. BTW my house was built in 1990, so it was 31 years old by 2021. I bought it in November, 2000 for $97,500. (Pre-war, 3 bed, one-bath houses in Santa Clara were $450,000 at that point). The new roof was installed in July, 2021. The company that makes the shingles (in the USA) mails you a warranty. I think Meraz gives a warranty too. Also BTW, something to know: When they nail the shingles to the plywood, each nail their nail-gun drives in creates a little chip of plywood which falls in. I had both cars in the garage and they got covered with little chips of plywood. So you want your car(s) out of the garage when they are nailing on the shingles. Loran W. Harding 3411 W.

Kim, a former San Francisco supervisor, will become executive director of the Working Family Party’s new California branch. Michael Short/Special to The Chronicle 2019 To much of the rest of the country, California is the most progressive state in the union. To the Working Families Party, it isn’t as progressive as it could be — and that’s why the national organization has launched a California branch and will announce former San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim as its executive director Thursday, The Chronicle has learned. Instead, this year it is planning to introduce itself to voters by focusing on a handful of legislative races, even if that means taking on more moderate Democrats in the hope of pulling the larger party further to the left — particularly on health care, criminal justice reform and wealth inequality. With roughly half of the Legislature due to be termed out in the next two years, party organizers want to take advantage of this transitory moment to change state politics. Democrats control all statewide offices and hold a supermajority in the Legislature. It has already started endorsing office-seekers, including Jennifer Esteen in Alameda County’s 20th Assembly District. It also plans to support San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin as he fights the recall campaign against him. “A party isn’t a ballot line,” said Kim, who was the California political director for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign. “It’s a political home for people that share a common ideology, platform and commitment to making change through elections.” Kim thinks a lot of working-class Californians don’t feel totally at home in the Democratic Party. Organizers believe there is a market for their voice in a state where Sanders soundly defeated Joe Biden in the 2020 primary. Too often, Kim said, California Democrats listen more to wealthy donors and powerful corporate interests than they do the multiracial working-class voters who form the backbone of the party. That is one reason, she said, why California does not have a single- payer health care system or a tax on the super wealthy, like the kind that Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren proposed during her presidential campaign. Legislation on both was written but didn’t even get a hearing in the Legislature last year. (On Tuesday, however, the Assembly Health Committee supported single-payer legislation written by Assembly Member Ash Kalra, D-San Jose.) Kim and Christina Livingston, a state officer in the Working Families Party, declined to name a “corporate” Democrat legislator whom the organization would be targeting this year. Instead, they pointed to the kind of progressive whom the party has endorsed, Assembly Member Alex Lee, D-San Jose, who backs a single-payer health plan. The party, through its seven regional chapters in California, will endorse and support candidates in local elections with the goal of building a bench of like-minded candidates. Organizers are building the party by tapping into the membership of more than 40 progressive community, labor and grassroots organizations who are affiliating with them. Among them are Courage California, AFSCME 3299, CHIRLA Action Fund and SEIU 1021. Instead, for now, the Working Families Party is hoping to appeal to voters frustrated with Democrats. The Working Families Party expects to have a seven-figure budget for the year, which is modest in a state where it costs millions to air TV advertising for a week in one of California’s major media markets. But competing monetarily isn’t the only challenge organizers face, said Thad Kousser, a professor of political science at UC San Diego. For starters, California’s top-two primary system — where the top two finishers, regardless of their party affiliation, advance to the general election — makes it hard for a third-party candidate to compete. And if a Working Families Party-blessed candidate were to make it into the general election, it would likely be at the expense of a Democrat. If that were to lead to a Republican winning the general election, some Democrats would try to taint the Working Families Party as “spoilers.” “In order for a third party to show strength, you have to weaken a (major) party by costing it elections,” Kousser said. The Democratic Party won’t move to the left unless it feels a threat. “That’s the dilemma a party like this faces,” he said. Still, Kousser said, given Sanders’ success in California, “there is a thirst for this type of governance. Democrats in California are largely Berniecrats.” Kim and other Working Party leaders emphasize that they have no intention of being spoilers. “There is enough room for the Democratic Party and a Working Families movement,” Kim said. “I really believe that new progressive energy and activating young voters ultimately benefits the multiracial, working-class movement here in California.” Joe Garofoli is The San Francisco Chronicle’s senior political writer.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. I support a tax at the rates suggested by the survey results on large private businesses in Palo Alto with the following conditions: --major exemptions as listed below and --an analysis of competitive factors --incorporation of feedback from business stakeholders I have the following technical and policy comments and questions Technical I thank the staff for including a vacancy factor in the revenue analysis. I am concerned that the 6% vacancy factor for non office uses is low by perhaps a factor of 3 and the 15.7% vacancy for office uses is also low. I ask the staff to do a survey of vacant properties in the city currently. My every day walk through downtown suggest much higher and enduring vacancies. Relative to competitiveness analyses, I want the staff to provide vacancy data in neighboring cities. I am concerned that with normal turnover of properties and the many shared facilities that the administrative costs for smaller properties will outweigh the revenue collection and support a flat fee. Policy I support exemptions for all small businesses at least under 10,000 square feet and possibly at the 20,000 exemption level in EPA. I support no tax on hotels of any size for a minimum of five years as they have been and are very hard hit by the pandemic. The pandemic has made it very difficult for many if not most small businesses and it will take time to recover and many may not recover. My read of the data provided from staff is that a large share of revenue comes from a relatively small number of large private businesses so a very empathetic exemption policy will have a relatively small effect on revenues while substantially reducing administrative costs. I support an annual escalation factor if easy to administer. Re administration, I remember the difficulties with the existing fee and want to make sure any new tax is easy to administer and get compliance. The original metrics for a business tax included equity and competitiveness analyses. I am interested in seeing these metrics addressed in the current round of analysis and engagement. I look forward to the engagement results Stephen Levy Error Icon From:Normajean Jiminez To:Council, City Subject:Fwd: Delivery Status Notification (Failure) Date:Sunday, January 16, 2022 8:22:19 PM Attachments:icon.png icon.png CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

Dear Planning and Transportation Commissioners, Thank you for the time you commit to the greater good of Palo Alto. We are writing to you about that very topic—the greater good in relation to Castilleja’s application for a new Conditional Use Permit (CUP). By definition, schools contribute to the greater good by educating children. In particular, Castilleja provides a particular benefit as the only nonsectarian 6-12 school for girls in the Bay Area. This isn’t the right setting for all girls, but for some it makes the difference in their lives at an important stage. Castilleja also contributes to the greater good as a leader in TDM. Businesses and organizations across Palo Alto should look to Castilleja for ways to reduce THEIR car trips by up to 31%. Rather than incorrectly attributing the traffic on Embarcadero to Castilleja, we should credit Castilleja with finding creative and effective solutions. No one else has done more to reduce their traffic impacts in Palo Alto. Excellent schools benefit everyone by providing a place for children to learn and grow, by fortifying property values, by outreach in the community. Castilleja does all of this and would even do more if the terms of the CUP allowed it. Most of all, if more students can attend in the high school (without adding more traffic) all of those benefits increase. With accountability built into the plan, the school will only be permitted to grow if traffic remains the same. This proposal is all about public benefits.

To: <vrmail@cdph.ca.gov>, <FLX-ExecAssistant-S@bop.gov> Cc: <feedback@raiders.com>, <ajansen@pubdef.lacounty.gov> What's happening now? It's been on repeat the deaths of my favorites in law enforcement agents and fire fighters across the U.S who were killed under the leadership of President Donald Trump. In this email there's truth that humans act like birds that don't care but scare on it near water. May I please see your badge officer? That is a wise question. What led the daughter Maxine of Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan to covet the similar appearances of a baby lil ivy sunshine who has Diastrophic Dysplasia aka dwarfism? All Maxine had was gout on her foot and it was premeditated..that the next plastic surgeon was completely focused on using an ultimatum to really add tissues to Maxine's foot. After Maxine was at the San Jose fairgrounds working as if she was a proctologist or something like a staff on a medical cardiologist on it with measures of urinated underwear over my head bear ur nose will make u breathe again deeper then ur eye opens up wider with the responsive actions to chase the kid to their parents and ask for some cash. They tried hard to allow Maxine in attachment #5 to have the similar appearances of Attachment #4. The photoshop was excellent and now it's over there it's over there it's similar appearances of how crime scene is transferred from one sanctuary city to another city. As it was done over there on it with the shooting of Nipsey's death and other deaths especially when that TV actor Herve Villachaise had died in LA. The nerve of the urinated underwear on a kid's head with a bead on top of it.. that's what was done in San Jose CA near a Homefirst homeless shelter in that mortuary. Who died? I don't know. I know that Canadian singer Grimes had molesters on it it's witness was diva aka Dilma and that's what she had explain that Maxine Chan Zuckerberg's daughter had been targeted trapped to use a urinated underwear on her head at a funeral home and it was like a good reasoning especially when Maxine returned to Mathilda hotel in Sunnyvale CA for a bath. What time did Bill Gates daughter Arrive with Questions about her future husband's horse names Igor? I don't know know it was late night. Ok rewind to the fairgrounds in the 1980's when Stephen Manley's eye ball went thru the fence then he had recovered from surgery whereas the geographic locations for that Santa Clara Target stores yeah it was a empty lot in the 1980's where the oink oink pigs and goats roamed. Was it true that Stephen Manley had drug addictions with Rick Marino especially in SF at Delancy organization their creative income tax credit for the appropriate revolving door behind the scenes with drug smugglers in trapped houses and escape houses for it? Yes. What family members did Stephen Manley target the most? It was those individuals who are the same relatives who got compensation for their relative Rosa Parks her heroric efforts to be revealed as it's safe to ride the bus. What did those individuals related to Rosa Parks invest their compensation on? Drugs and supplies from the Federal mint to generate counterfeit money that made a one dollar bill a hundred dollar bill. That's what they did to reveal what other caucasians indigenius native americans did in the Wells Fargo Banks and the similar appearances of real estate and business loans payments. That was the reason why The Good year Blimp had exploited children with the need of housing individuals who are doing business for children with Diastrophic Dysplasia aka dwarfism and those who covet with medical plastic surgery parts to make sure it created Netflix documentaries on medical malpractice whereas the injury compensation generated income for their Habitual behaviors especially when they are organized desperate Robert Kiyosaki for rich dad poor dad. Did attachment #5 use photoshop whereas Priscilla's mother is really attachment #2. Who could be Priscilla's father? Is it actor Jackie Chan? Does Priscilla Chan have an identical twin brother who is a transgendered on it over? If Mark Zuckerberg is atheist former jewish on it over there as if he has an identical twin sister who is transgendered on it over there is it true that he had used funds illegally acquired for his involvement with the business license for Facebook currently Metaverse. What's happening now? It's been a long week for the appropriate charges for those individuals who work in Mental Health Courtcases with Santa Clara County judge Stephen Manley. Has the SF Golden State Warriors basketball players been victimtimized by humantrafficking/sexual fantasy assaults with physical altercations whereas it's over there it's over there with those players/fans whom are with identical twin sibilngs those individuals who are related to John Madden and or sexually molested by Betty White, Katherine Feinstein,Richard Blum:Diane Feinsteins's husband, Oakland CA Mayor Elizabeth Libby Schaaf, SF 49er owner Denise Debartolo and John York, Jazz artist John Handy ,Rapper Ice Cube aka O'shea jackson, Baseball player Derek Jeter, CEO Facebook Mark Zuckerberg,Wissam Al Mana,Janet Jackson, CEO Apple Tim Cook, Barack and Michelle Obama, San Jose,CA Mayor San Liccardo, Former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Golden State head coach Steve Kerr, TMZ celebrity gossip tv host Harvey Levine especially Santa Clara DA Jeff Rosen and others. There's evidence of it similar appearances to the evidence of those individuals who scream Jesus 3+ times wearing Denim overalls inside trapped and escape houses where there are different businesses started based on Gematria santanic ritualistics deaths in the inherited income from the desperate Robert Kiyosaki format on Rich Dad poor dad their pre-approval for injury compensation generated from insurance claims to be revealed as a way to get a down payment on real estates properties that are seized by corrupt boogaloo law enforcement agents who desperately need real estates properties other than that of tiny homes in San Jose CA. The corruption of the San Jose CA conservatory charter school corp their resemblance of ISIS. The Styles of those movies with Chris Tucker in (Rush hours with Jackie Chan,)whereas the action and verbal language mimicking patterns of those individuals victimtimized by violent individuals who are in police recruitment process housed or something like in uniform for law enforcement or inmate clothing from prisons or jails. Focus on Whom used police reports and or counseling therapists notes visible or transparent for the appropriate plaguerized journals which were generated into screenplays that Playwright Tyler Perry plaguerized. Are the California prison Wardens whom worked in trapped and escape houses wearing denim jeans or overalls basically using real estates properties in California and Las Vegas to generate income based on the teachings of Rich Dad poor dad? Weren't there Wasn't Wasn't of the father the son and the holy spirit of it on San Mateo county jail inmate Scott Peterson. Scott Peterson's mom Jacqueline loved her son and she loves music instruments and she loved the truth whereas keep up with updating Scott's behaviors especially since Jacqueline's reincarnated energies of her younger life appears that she had almost had the resemblance of a pedophile creep yes she had a younger man accuse her of Sexual abuse. That Jacqueline owed him back child support payments and he chased Jacqueline inside the Grocery outlet store in San Jose CA. Jacqueline threw dollars at him told him to behave himself and tough it out at Panera bread across from Oak Hill cemetery in San Jose CA. Is Scott Peterson with better behaviors especially when Jacqueline threw tantrums at the idea of her son is innocent incarcerated for what. If Scott Peterson's incarceration is going on with another Accusations of being a Paleolithic cannibalism protestor not a cannibus this n that casino table was next ask before you touch it. That's good reasoning especially when Scott's behaviors were on it as if he was a doctor or something like a person who had volunteering hours with the transplant donors network. Diva Loera MD to JD argues that LAPD Michel Moore's conduct and his jumps off the golden gate bridge into the SF bay his swims towards Alcatraz is similar appearances of his swims in Santa Cruz CA down towards LaJolla..it's on it over there near southern california Police cars with K9's. It's also up there near the SF Legion of Honor Museum where Denise Debartolo's designed for espionage acts thru the SF in different geographic locations whereas those Italians people the short ones 5'3 like she wasn't given the proper training for racketeering stuff based on mute individuals who are indigenius natives singers with resemblance of Prince aka Roger Nelson or his identical twin brother Hassan. Denise Debartolo with Oakland CA Mayor Elizabeth Libby Schaaf in denim overalls have bad behaviors especially when trapped in the TV sitcom scenes with Betty White whereas Former Oakland police chief Anne Kirkpatrick was stripped naked for her strong religious beliefs using It against the Normans. The Teachers at Sobrato's high school or the preschool teachers at His Kids a preschool in Hayward,CA owned by Jerri Flowers like it it's History, Science and development of the father the son and the holy spirit of it on those midgets/Diastrophic Dysplasia aka dwarfism who either have it or they don't want to be revealed as those kids keep staying on Social services for food stamps with legitimate excuses. Yeah yeah yeah yeah it's on repeat those dwarf sized kids.. plus plus XPrize CEO Larry Page. In this email, Dilma aka Diva wants to describe the causes of it and the geographic locations for observations of what led to the development of the recruitment of individuals for law enforcement careers especially when the gangs affiliated with drug addictions are with similar appearances of that philanthropist organizers or something like the same training/recruitment process of fraudulent boogaloo law enforcement agents in leadership positions. There's evidence that those individuals who are doing santanic sadistic masochistly behaviors based on Gematria using Arson, Explosives on The Goodyear Blimp those philanthropists using NASA equipment. Those ultimatums on Philanthropist organizers by law enforcement agents and others in entertainment businesses affiliated with the professional careers in music, film and sports. Who are the worst politicians in it? Donald Trump, Administration cabinet especially when they harvested from the sewer pipes for drugs and other areas whereas their own food and drug administration targeted trapped the DEA to keep false advertisement of that Sinaloa's Mexicana's family members as drug lords the worst drug cartels. What do we need to do to them. Habitual santanic sadistic masochistly behaviors based on government law officials in California.Their Gematria games their greed greed greed mimicking patterns of those philanthropist who are Habitual gamblers affiliated with the word covet. Diva aka Dilma is on it with description words that apply to her previous experience in law enforcement with boogaloo law enforcement agents who are gang members whom have physical,mental and psychological charectoristics of doing theatrical scenes that playout in the careers with the worst California Governor Gavin Newsom, California judges especially those in Santa Clara County (Silicon Valley) am on it doing the charector analysis of the LAPD officer in leadership Michal Moore especially when his boogaloo fraudulent law enforcement charectoristic are similar appearances to others in the SF bay area.

Diva wants to give brief details of what led to the death of Fernando Uriel Arorryo..I want to give details of the fictional stories the media reporters plus whom they arrange The same behaviors mimicking patterns of the way Mexican family members especially those individuals who are educated from U.C Berkeley CA whom go to the LAPD under the leadership of Michael Moore. Cause Michael Moore is a bitch..as oink of a law enforcement leader. What am I doing? I am homeless in shelter victimized and displaced from my family with angry thoughts about behaviors in others that reflects my current situation and it's flowing like the loose sea weed in the ocean waves that has landed on the beach.

Dear Members of the PTC, I live near Castilleja School on Emerson Street and am writing to urge you to support Castilleja’s recommendations so that their dated buildings can be updated and surface parking can be reduced. As a near neighbor, I implore you to take the lead, follow the code, and move this project toward approval. The school has been making changes and compromises for years. I have been watching closely, very grateful and very impressed by the care and responsiveness. Now we are at a point where trees are preserved; there is a balance of cars below ground and on the surface—an attempt to appease neighbors on both sides of that question; the rooflines are lower and setbacks increase; 100 new trees with be added to a net-zero campus; and no new cars will come to our neighborhood because Castilleja is better at TDM than anyone on the Bay Area. All of this is ready to happen, just waiting on city approval. And while that process marches on, every year there are girls who could have access to the education they are hoping for but don’t. The time matters. It may feel like it doesn’t but it really matters to real kids. Thank you for your continued attention to our city and schools. Please do not allow further delays to this project, which is good for our city, children, and neighborhood.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear PTC Members, I’m writing to ask you to approve the Castilleja project for the second and last time and express my fervent support for allowing the school to revitalize its campus. I appreciate your support for the project last year, and your continued attention to the school’s proposal. Let’s move forward with a plan that fulfills requests from both parties. TREES Yes, we care deeply about them. We take great pride in our city’s beautiful trees and appropriately protect them. Castilleja has found a way to both protect trees AND carefully move ahead with necessary updates. Throughout Castilleja’s many project revisions, I particularly appreciate the efforts they’ve made to protect their campus’ trees and add abundantly to our canopy. The new Master Plan adds over 100 new trees to the campus. PARKING OPTIONS Now, you have their revised proposal in front of you which further protects trees. First, they have recommended an underground parking garage which serves the important purpose of removing cars from the neighborhood streets while NOT harming trees. Please support any of these FIVE excellent solutions. Weigh the pros and cons, think of the constituents involved, and select one underground parking plan that will serve the city and the citizens and the school. By recommending approval of their project, you can help the school educate more students, while at the same time adding no additional traffic, improving the neighborhood aesthetic with a modernized campus and underground garage, and protecting trees and adding to our canopy. This project cannot continue receiving unclear and mixed feedback. Consider the facts that have been presented, and that the number of neighbors who enthusiastically support Castilleja far outweighs a few opposing individuals. As leaders in our community, we look to you for sound decision making that will support our current and future children.

Dear Mayor Burt, Vice Mayor Kou, and Council Members: Concerning the proposed mis-development of the Fry's site. This doesn't reflect the wishes of many Palo Altans who have been participating in this multi-year process, the wishes of the Working Group, nor your own instructionsregarding NVCAP. Please focus on building truly affordable housing and creating a livable, walkableneighborhood with community amenities. * * Excluding high-end office space andluxury housing. Palo Alto always meets its housing goals for at-market or above market-rate housing, but has never met any affordable housing goals. North Ventura provides a real opportunity to solve our below-market housing needs, probably our only chance! Thank you.Joyce Beattie From:Penny Brennan To:Council, City Subject:Council Meeting 1/10/22 Topic: Revised NVCAP Date:Thursday, January 13, 2022 2:20:56 PM Some people who received this message don't often get email from plynnbrennan@gmail.com.Learn why this is important CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear Mayor Burt, Vice-Mayor Kou, and City Council: I attended the Monday 1/10/22 City Council meeting at which the revised North Ventura Coordinated Area Plan (NVCAP) was discussed. I have the following comments on that discussion: 1) Overall, the revised plan still seems geared primarily to profit-generation, for years to come, by wealthy developers of luxury homes and high-end apartment units. I think that the plan needs to be geared more strongly toward creation of truly affordable housing, within a true neighborhood, that is better integrated with the existing, overall Ventura neighborhood. 2) NO OFFICES! We do not need new office buildings in Palo Alto; there is a surplus of them sitting empty all along El Camino and Park Blvd. Given current and anticipated conversions in employees' work practices to 100% remote or hybrid work, this surplus is likely to continue. I agree with speakers who urged conversion of existing office space at the site to affordable housing through amortization and other means. I agree with speakers who expressed the opinion that this was a historically opportune moment to make this conversion and that the City of Palo Alto should seize upon it. 3) I agree with the speaker Monday night who questioned the wisdom of including retail space in the plan. We already know that, notwithstanding impacts of the pandemic, retail space such as that being proposed -- sited adjacent to El Camino and Park Blvd -- struggles to survive. New retail space at those sites will continue to struggle for several reasons, including lack of foot traffic, and the fact that El Camino and Park Ave are swift traffic throughways that challenge drivers' ability to safely stop and park in front of the stores or turn out of traffic to seek neighborhood parking nearby. Moreover, the planned retail shops will be in competition with those on nearby California Avenue. Finally, they appear to be too small and underparked to attract essential local retail services that have been lost to Palo Alto neighborhoods over the past 20 years, such as hardware, garden supply, bakery, and stationary stores. Instead, they appear to be best sized for occupancy by -- nail salons? fitness clubs? tutoring services? Arguably, Palo Alto already has enough of these. 4) I also agree with speakers who noted the Ventura neighborhood "park starvation." Small decorative patches of green scattered among buildings and edging pedestrian paths do not qualify as true park space. The revised plan still falls well short of providing the four acres of park space per 1,000 residents that is called for in the City's Comprehensive Plan. I agree with those who suggest that the City consider purchase of sites to comprise adequately large, useable parkland space and that these be included in the plan. 5) Relatedly, I agree with speakers who noted the City's once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to implement plans to naturalize Matadero Creek. I hope that this will become and remain a key goal of the plan. 6) I am in agreement with speakers who urged retention of historically important buildings in the plan. Relatedly, I hope that planners will attempt to incorporate historical Northern Californian and Palo Alto-specific architectural and landscaping aesthetics into the plan. As currently visualized, the plan appears to call for creation of high-rise, high density, primarily flat concrete, glass, and steel complexes, representative of Anywhere, USA. Recent examples of this approach include the massive Mountain View development edging San Antonio Shopping Center and the entire Mission Bay region of San Francisco. I urge Council to require the plan to include use of architectural and landscaping design, features, and materials that are consistent with Palo Alto's Northern California heritage and compatible with the overall Ventura neighborhood. I appreciate your commitment and hard work devoted to solving the enormously complex and challenging NVCAP puzzle. I hope that your future puzzle-solving efforts will be Palo Alto resident-centric, and focused on achieving financially-accessible housing that is set in a livable neighborhood that is historically, architecturally, and socially integrated with the Ventura neighborhood as a whole.

Dear Commissioners, Please accept my brief note thanks for the work you did last year in advancing the Castilleja School modernization project. The dated, academic building that has been in the neighborhood since the 1960s is long overdue for updating with a sustainable new building that truly suits the needs of a 21st century education. Your feedback to the school last year was helpful, and I want to thank the school for the beautiful design they’ve put forward in accordance with your direction, City Council guidance, and feedback from neighbors. While it’s been an excessively long process, it’s been productive, and all of us can benefit from a school that blends nicely into the neighborhood using sustainable building materials and drought resistant landscaping. The school has done an excellent job providing you with design options that will preserve more trees and improve quality of life in the neighborhood AND that take neighbors’ needs and concerns into account. It has been an eight-year-long process of the school compromising and revising their project. Why have they stayed in the game so long? They want to educate more girls. Simple. So they have come up with many options to make that happen. At the same time, I hear opposing voices who seem to be open to nothing at all. It becomes harder and harder to honor those perspectives when the school has spent years listening, adjusting, and making changes that just never seem to be enough. In any process, it is critical to listen to all viewpoints. There is a difference between being heard and consequently invoking all suggestions. I appreciate that considering opposing perspectives on this project may put you in a challenging position. However, sometimes leaders must make difficult choices. As leaders of Palo Alto, I trust you to make recommendations that will allow this project to move ahead. Supporting education–even single-sex education–should be a city-wide priority.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Jan 13, 2022 Dear Amy, (cc: Lait, Shikada, ARB, PTC, CC) 1. Please make the Dudek "Castilleja School Building Survey and Gross Floor Area Assessment" report dated Nov 17, 2021 easily available to interested parties. City council requested this official third-party count on March 15, 2021, and it significantly changes the applicant's request for variance. Locating this report is very difficult, and its importance is thus diminished. However, it is exceedingly pertinent to any discussion of Castilleja's project's request for a variance. The PTC vote on the variance, on 11/4/2020, Packet Pg 28: Finding 1: doesn't mention that the school's increasing their own property site by 1.36 acres in 1992 expressly excludes them from using size as a basis for a variance, and Finding 2: doesn't mention allowed FAR (.30) at all, and gave only (we now know) inaccurate current FAR (.43) and proposed FAR (.42). In order for the PTC to make a reasonable analysis, they need to know all three: allowed FAR (.30), current FAR (.51) and proposed FAR (.48). Current existing GFA is 138,345SF, proposed new buildings is 128,687SF. Allowable GFA is 81,385SF. Buildings added in the last couple of decades that didn't go through the PTC or usual channels in the development process and didn't get recorded properly are now coming to light; the site is significantly over-built. The actual square footage being requested in excess of allowed FAR is 47,300SF. Currently, planning commissioners learn vaguely about the report in the 12/15/21 PTC staff report, Packet Pg 26, although it is not called by the same title in the two places where it is referenced, and can only be accessed by a link which leads to the ARB 12/2/2021 staff report. From there, one has to scroll down to ARB Packet Pg 18 and footnote 9, for a link to a report called "City's consultant report on existing gross floor area..". A. The first link below is the ARB page, and it is important because it shows the flow of the GFA from the Dudek report to the project's plans, by segregating out, in different columns, the existing, proposed demolished, and proposed retained/new buildings (Packet Pg. 19). This ARB page states that volumetrics came into code in 1993. Both buildings that are counted with volumetrics were built (re-built) after that date (arts building 1998, gym 2006), so that's not a basis for reducing the professional measurement. Developers have to comply with current code, not some prior code from previous years, even if it pertained, which it doesn't. https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/agendas-minutes-reports/agendas- minutes/architectural-review-board/2021/arb-12.02-castilleja.pdf. I attach Packet Pg 19 below, to save you time. B. This second link is the source data for that ARB analysis, the Dudek "Castilleja School Building Survey and Gross Floor Area Assessment". The page following Page 8 (A-1) shows that the total existing gross floor area is 138,345SF, which flows through to the ARB Packet Pg. 19, so now you have the whole picture. I attach Page A-1 below, to save you time. https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/planning-amp-development- services/new-development-projects/1310-bryant-street/castilleja-school-building-survey- and-gfa-111721.pdf Pertinent numbers are on page A-1 (after pg 8). 2. Secondly, please identify who made the measurements and calculations and when they were made. The report, as you've explained to me, was provided by Dudek, and then city staff reviewed and studied and vetted it. However, I only see Katherine Waugh's name on it, and I'm sure you hired a professional surveyor (or Dudek did). I did notice that the summary page A-1 (after page 8) transposes the Rhoades building's numbers and the Arillaga building's numbers.

This direction was further refined on March 29th when Council directed staff and the PTC to review an underground parking garage alternative that allows a maximum of 50% of the required on -site parking to be below grade without counting against the project GFA. More information on this amendment will be included in the PTC staff report scheduled for December 8, 2021. 2. Re-Analyze Existing and Proposed Gross Floor Area. Leading up to the City Council’s March 8, 2021 public hearing, staff learned of a discrepancy in the size of one of the existing campus buildings; more GFA was attributed to an existing building than should have counted. Specifically, 7,000 square feet (SF) of exempt below grade floor area was incorrectly included in the total existing gross floor area count. However, the applicant had also undercounted existing gross floor area in another portion of the building reducing this discrepancy to 4,370 SF of gross floor area.8 Due to the confusion regarding floor area, the City Council directed staff to prepare an independent (third party) analysis of the project site’s existing and proposed building areas, including basement space. Staff engaged a subconsultant to the City’s environmental consultant to prepare this analysis. The consultant report9 and findings are available online (link below). This analysis was prepared using a laser measurement tool and provides a greater level of precision than previously existed. Some assumptions were made regarding wall thickness, but in general, the results are the best possible calculation of existing floor area. This data was then evaluated to the existing code , which defines floor area that is included and excluded from GFA calculations, including volumetric spaces exceeding 17 feet and 26 feet in height. A 1993 code change for GFA required double and triple counting of this volumetric floor area , also known as second and third floor level equivalences, toward GFA. This was intended to recognize the impact of these spaces on overall building mass. It is clear these volumetric requirements were not considered in previous campus renovations and are not reflected in the applicant’s architectural plans. Existing Campus Gross Floor Area The applicant’s most recent project plans show an existing campus gross floor area (GFA) calculation of 109,297 square feet (SF), which is down from 116,297 SF previously presented to Council. This reduction accounts for corrected discrepancies and applicant- initiated floor plan adjustments. These numbers were provided by the applicant. 8 More information on this floor area discrepancy was provided in a March 8, 2021 memorandum to Council: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/agendas-minutes-reports/at-places-memo/03-08-21-agenda- item-7-at-places-memo.pdf 9 City’s consultant report on existing gross floor area https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/planning- amp-development-services/new-development-projects/1310-bryant-street/castilleja-school-building-survey-and- gfa-111721.pdf 2 Packet Pg. 18 City of Palo Alto Planning & Development Services Department Page 11 The City’s independent consultant analysis concludes the actual existing campus has 114,819 GFA, not including volumetric gross floor area, which adds another 23,526 SF from the gym (17,346 SF) and fine arts building (6,180 SF). Accordingly, Castilleja’s total existing campus GFA, based on current code definitions and using enhanced measurement techniques, is 138,345 SF. Staff’s evaluation of the consultant’s analysis and the applicant’s project plans concludes that the discrepancy between the two data sets is mostly due to the omission of the volumetric floor area. The balance of the discrepancy is assigned to the applicant’s use of decades old permit records to report the existing GFA. This was a less precise way to measure GFA than the readings provided by the laser measurement tool to determine existing built conditions. Demolition and Replacement of Previously Entitled Gross Floor Area: Based on the foregoing analysis and after reviewing the most recent architectural plans to current code, the applicant proposes the following: Campus Building Existing GFA Demolished GFA Proposed GFA10 Arrillaga Campus Center 37,179 37,179 0 Administration, Chapel, Theater 17,754 0 17,754 Gymnasium 33,513 0 33,513 Leonard Ely Arts Building 12,360 12,360 0 Maintenance Building 2,863 2,863 0 Pool Equipment Building 884 884 0 Rhoades Hall 33,793 33,793 0 New Academic Building 0 0 77,420 TOTAL 138,345 87,079 128,687 TOTAL (Not Including Volumetric Area) 114,819 80,899 111,341 If the volumetric second and third floor equivalency GFA were excluded from all calculations, staff concludes the total existing GFA would be 114,819 sf and the proposed plus existing to remain GFA would be 111,341. Project Design Revisions Related to, but independent of the GFA analysis described above, the applicant made some revisions to the proposed building and site planning. These changes resulted in reduced building floor area or relocation of structures to reduce impacts to protected trees or accommodate more surface parking. 1. Academic Building Changes.

The victim, who has not been identified, was walking westbound on 9th Street toward Franklin Street when a man approached her from behind and shoved her, KPIX 5 reported. Surveillance footage shows the victim falling to the sidewalk before a bystander arrives to help her, according to KTVU. The attack reportedly left the victim with minor scrapes on her legs, while the suspect fled northbound on Franklin Street. Oakland police described the suspect as a Black man, approximately 35 years old and around 6 feet tall with a slim build. If apprehended, the suspect will possibly face charges of assault with force likely to cause bodily injury and elder abuse. The incident follows a series of attacks against Asian Americans, particularly the elderly, in Oakland’s Chinatown since the onset of COVID-19. Around the same time last year, more than 20 robberies and attacks swept the neighborhood, crippling businesses that were already struggling with financial losses amid the pandemic. “We're asking the victim and the family to come forward, and to report it to the police department ASAP,” said Carl Chan, president of the Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, according to NBC Bay Area. Chan himself fell victim to an alleged anti-Asian attack last April. . The investigation into Monday’s incident is ongoing.

Dear Commissioners, Thank you for your dedication to the city of Palo Alto. As a longtime Palo Alto resident, I have seen many changes over the years, some better than others, and I am writing to ask you to support one I feel could greatly benefit our community—the proposal to modernize Castilleja’s campus and allow the school to enroll more students without adding traffic. Castilleja School has been an institution in this city longer than any of us have been alive. Along with the many advantages that are brought by such an established and nationally well-respected school in our city comes the inevitable need for change over time. Castilleja’s plan to modernize their campus and gradually admit more students would allow them to adapt to the changing nature of our community. The Palo Alto we know today is not the same town as it was 10 years ago, or 20 years ago, or 60 years ago (even though that is the age of many of Castilleja’s current buildings). We should encourage and support schools like Castilleja to reflect those changes. The other schools in Palo Alto have been allowed to update and grow with time; why not Castilleja? Castilleja’s modernization plan is truly a win-win for the community and the school. They have shown their commitment to reducing traffic for years, including by increasing the number of buses during the pandemic when students no longer felt comfortable taking the Caltrain. As they can only enroll new students if they keep the traffic counts level with current numbers, we can have faith that we will not see an increase in traffic. I truly hope you will recommend this project for approval so that more students from different backgrounds will have the opportunity to access the only secular all-girls school in the Bay Area. Castilleja is presenting you with a meaningful set of compromises that will improve the neighborhood and strengthen our city, and I think it’s time we listen.

D Needs Magnesium & K2 Why Did US Deaths Shoot Up 40% Above Normal Last Year? Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola Fact Checked Jan. 11, 2022 STORY AT-A-GLANCE * OneAmerica, a national life insurance company based in Indianapolis, reports working age people (18 to 64) are dying at a rate that is 40% higher than prepandemic rates * There’s also been an uptick in disability claims. Initially, there was a rise in short-term disability claims, but now most claims are for long- term disabilities * Hospitalizations in Indiana are also higher than before the COVID shots were rolled out in in 2021, and the highest they’ve been in years * The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India also reports a 41% rise in death claims in 2021 * COVID-19 deaths were signicantly lower in 2021 than 2020, so COVID-19 can be ruled out as the cause for this historical rise in excess deaths and disabilities. Right now, most probable cause is the experimental COVID jabs. Subheads: * Insurance Disability Claims Have Also Risen * What’s Killing Younger Healthy Americans? * The rise in deaths began after the rollout of the COVID shots * A Government Imposed Health Disaster Looms Large * Same Trend Seen in Many Other States and Countries * Safety Signal Is Indisputable * Early Treatment Options While the overall risk of COVID-19 has been grossly exaggerated, early treatment is key, both for preventing “long-haul COVID.” Here are a few suggestions: • Oral-nasal decontamination — The virus, especially the Delta variant, replicates rapidly in the nasal cavity and mouth for 3-5 days before rest of the body, so you want to strike where it’s most likely to be found right from the start. Research23 has demonstrated that irrigating your nasal passages with 2.5 milliliters of 10% povidone-iodine (an antimicrobial) and standard saline, twice a day, is an effective remedy. Another option that was slightly less effective was using a mixture of saline with half a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate (an alkalizer). You can also gargle with these to kill viruses in your mouth/throat. When done routinely, it can be a very effective preventive strategy. You can find printable treatment guides on TruthForHealth.org. * Nebulized peroxide — A similar strategy is to use nebulized hydrogen peroxide, diluted with saline to a 0.1% solution. Both hydrogen peroxide and saline24,25 have antiviral effects. * Vitamin D optimization — Research has shown having a vitamin D level above 50 ng/mL brings the risk of COVID mortality down to near- zero.27 * Other key nutraceuticals — Vitamin C, zinc, quercetin and NAC all have scientic backing. * Key drugs — For acute infection, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine or monoclonal antibodies can be used. While monoclonal antibodies and hydroxychloroquine must be used early on in the disease process, ivermectin has been shown to be effective in all stages of the infection. Full-strength aspirin is also typically recommended, but I believe lumbrokinase and serrapeptase may be a better, at least safer, alternative, as they help break down and prevent blood clots naturally. ----- While the overall risk of COVID-19 has been grossly exaggerated, early treatment is key, both for preventing severe infection and preventing “long- haul COVID.” Here are a few suggestions: 20 Sources & References in Mercola Newsletter, Jan. 11, 2022, blocked Jan 13. --------------------- 2.

US record breaking cases and hospitalizations - YouTube He excoriates the WHO for predicting now what will happen in Europe when he, Dr. Campbell, has been predicting that since Dec. 1, 2021. Cases rise, massively in the US right now, hospitalizations rise, then level off, then decline. ICUs and Deaths do not rise anything like they would if we still had, or were just ot getting, Delta. Delta is being displaced by Omicron in the US and elsewhere. Bad news for the unvaccinated everywhere. But for the boosted, rather mild disease if they catch Omicron. Then recovery in 4 or 5 days, accompanied by significant new immunity. Well done, as always. The CDC is slow to get the data out. WHO- just a scandal how far behind the times they are. Too busy out shopping, apparently. The US is in for increasing cases and hospitalizations for ~3 more weeks. Then hospitalizations will level off and start down. With so much HC staff out isolating, we will have a serious overloading and even breaking of the hospital system in the US. Of course, people waiting for elective procedures in hospitals are not able to get them done in the US. That is serious and, no doubt, is costing lives. Let's hear it for the dummies who will not get vaccinated. They are killing some of their fellow Americans directly and indirectly. About 60% of the US adult population is vaccinated to some extent. Maybe the first two shots. 35% of adults in the US have had a booster. That is a stunning indictment of the US education system. Who won't get vaccinated? Largely the poorly educated. Now an interview from Christine Amanpour's program. This guy, Dr. Zieg Emanuel, University of Pennsylvania, lays out what we are going to have to do to prepare for the continuing pandemics coming our way, and what we still must do during Covid. If you watch this you will be glad you did. He was one of six early advisors to the Biden Administration who have published three articles saying that a lot more now needs to be done. Just watch 5 minutes and you'll want to see the whole interview: 18 minutes: It is not Amanpour who does the interview so you don't have to hear "you know" every fifth word. I quit watching her program months ago because she does that. Hope she gets some help. This is valuable information.

Dear Planning and Transportation Commissioners, I grew up in Palo Alto, left for college and lived out of state for several years, and now have returned. I am so happy to be back in this city that I call home—where I can enjoy the beautiful climate and environment, appreciate the courage and creativity that define Silicon Valley, and remember the important ideals I learned as a child and young adult here. I am a product of the Palo Alto public schools, all the way through, and I feel lucky to have had access to such an amazing education. Not all children in California—even in Silicon Valley—have the same privilege. Especially after the pandemic, we all can see the stark difference between living in this school district and one that is not as well resourced. Independent school is one solution to that imbalance. Granted, it’s not the only one, but we need to do what we can at every level to work toward equity. That is why I hope you will support Castilleja’s application to admit more students in the high school without adding more car trips. With 21% of students receiving tuition assistance, Castilleja is making a profound difference in the lives of many students who don’t come from families like mine, families who can afford to buy or rent in a district like Palo Alto. Castilleja’s commitment to TDM builds consequences into the application. The school can only add students if car trips remain the same. I am not concerned about traffic—at least not from Castilleja. If other organizations in Palo Alto worked as hard to keep car trips down, this would be an even better place to live. For now, though, I am happy to be back. I am happy to be a voter in Palo Alto again, and I hope you will urge City Council to support this project.

Learn why this is important CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. To the City Council: I react to the campaign pamphlet, enclosed in our latest utility bill, as follows: 1) We already have fiber to our our home. And, per the 21 April 2021 staff report, we have already been contributing our tax dollars, and a portion of our utilities bills, to this project since 2003. Why should we pay even more money, for something from which we will draw zero benefit? 1a) I say this in the first context, that we were promised our utilities would be undergrounded, when we moved back to Palo Alto in 1996. Subsequently, wealthier neighborhoods received the substantial value of having their utilities undergrounded; but eventually, CPAU abandoned the effort altogether. So, our monies paid for a benefit for others, which we will never realize. It can be argued, that this juxtaposition with the FTTH project is a non sequitur. And, from the standpoint of symbolic logic, that argument is accurate. But from an emotional standpoint, from a personal standpoint, the argument is fair: every day I look out our windows and see the utility pole in our backyard, and the myriad of wires transiting to and from it. It's ugly. It's necessary. Why did some residents have a choice, to have *both* their utility needs, and their esthetic wants, met; while others did not? Given that reality, with respect to FTTH we appear, to me, to be poised at the same juncture, where the City creates winners and losers, rather than meeting the needs of all, fairly and squarely, efficiently and transparently. 1b) Let me re-phrase 1a) in a more positive manner. What would be the incremental cost, at the margin, to use the FTTH project as a springboard to bury all electricity and communications utilities? The 21 April 2021 report shows the incremental costs per foot of buried conduit(s), as a function of number of conduit, and diameter of conduit. It can't be very expensive to extend this analysis to include consideration of undergrounding *all* electrical-based utilities. And let me verify, I would be very willing to pay substantial money, to get this undergrounding done, without the expectation that the costs be shared by *every* ratepayer or resident. 1c) I say this in the second context, that the City *already* had a non-profit entity in place, called Palo Alto Cable Co-op, ca. 1996-97. The City, in what can only be described as a massive blunder, sold this non-profit enterprise. In return, the City reaped several 'benefits', which again serve a nearly-vanishing-fraction of Palo Alto residents. Against this context, I ask: what assurance do taxpayers and ratepayers have THIS TIME, that Council will not, in the future, make the same massive mistake? "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me," is the rubric which applies. 2) If this FTTH project proceeds to fruition, what specific benefit will I, speaking selfishly for a moment, accrue? At present, we pay AT&T $49.99/month for 300+ Mbps service. This service is more than sufficient for our internet information and streaming and tele-conferencing needs. If FTTH goes to completion, will our rates go up, to pay for the additional capital costs and ongoing maintenance costs, city-wide, outlined in the 21 April 2021 report? Or, will our costs remain constant, but our speeds go up? Or, will our costs go *down*, because the for-profit utilities have more customers, among whom to amortize their operational costs? 3) Given that the City has been invested in this process since 2003, how much money has each ratepayer, and each taxpayer, already spent upon this project? 4) Why is the City investing in this at all? Why do we think we can do better than private enterprise? Why not simply create incentives for AT&T and Comcast and Sonic to extend their existing networks to cover the entire City; and, then provide subsidies to households whose incomes fall short of the threshold necessary to pay for high-speed service, so that *all* are served equally, at the price they can afford (which may be free, for some houselholds; and I'm OK with that outcome; I'd rather a portion of my communications and utilities bills go to a subsidy such as that, than bury the costs in some third-party, expensive analysis, which given the City's track record will only be re-done five years hence, with no substantive outcome).

A medical emergency arose which necessitated a 911 call. Within minutes of the call the ambulance, fire truck and well coordinated rescue team were on the scene. The efficiency and excellent training behind the actions of the crew were on display. Immediate assessment of the emergency, deployment of diagnostic equipment, appropriate questioning and calm assurances and demeanor were expressed. The episode ended well, and our family, calmed, reassured and with thorough follow-up directions chose to go home, comforted and taken care of. In particular, the lead attending paramedic (?) on that call, Matt Ferguson, deserves special recognition. Throughout the entire episode and process he was calm, informative, directing the operation with assurance while supervising the team and answering our family’s anxious questions as well as asking clearly appropriate diagnostically critical questions of the group. He managed all the avalanche of input with courtesy yet authority of expertise while doing what he needed to do. The balance of the 911 crew were also standing by the entire time, some assisting, others at the ready, again a sign of well trained and coordinated team. Please act and pass on, as most appropriate, my and my wife's sincere appreciation for the 911 response of that evening. I know that all too often negative interactions or results are brought to the forefront but positive ones are not. Thank you for your part in keeping high standards in our city’s 911 system and the Fire Department. At the “receiving end” of city services, and as Palo Alto residents for nearly five decades, we do appreciate the efforts that go into making our city a good place to live.

I'm surprised that this project has not yet been approved, and I want to do what I can to urge your 'yes' vote. I would like to bring you back to the discussions you had in late 2020. At the time, there was a great deal of discussion about the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and the Conditions of Approval. Here are some key findings: 1. The Final EIR, which you all endorsed, stated clearly that the Castilleja project had no negative impacts which couldn't be mitigated. 2. The school can have no new car trips; if they do, they will not be allowed to increase enrollment. 3. The garage will bring no new car trips; it simply makes the neighborhood more beautiful by moving cars below ground and preserving greenspace. 4. The garage improves traffic patterns in the neighborhood. Drop off and pick up will be distributed around campus, and the garage creates a distribution such that traffic will improve for everyone. The project is even better than before. You approved this project before, and I urge you to approve it again. This project has so much neighborhood support, and those voices sometimes get drowned out by a small number of vocal opponents. Let's get to 'yes' -- and let's finally get this project moving so more girls-including those in Palo Alto-can benefit from this extraordinary educational opportunity. Gratefully, Yuko Watanabe and Ashmeet Sidana 2130 Byron Street From:Karen Robin To:Planning Commission Cc:Council, City Date:Tuesday, January 11, 2022 7:53:37 AM Some people who received this message don't often get email from karenrobin2007@gmail.com.Learn why this is important CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

I am writing to ask you to support Castilleja’s application for a new conditional use permit to modernize the campus and admit more students without increasing traffic. There are a vocal few who oppose the project, but residents across the city broadly support it, including many neighbors who live right across the street from the school. In particular, I believe it’s time to approve this project after seeing how many times the school has taken in feedback and revised the plans. Recent reporting about your last hearing highlighted that the goalposts are always changing on this project, and I couldn’t agree more. At this point, it is time to look at the improvements and compromises the school has already made: Reducing traffic by up to 31% through outstanding TDM Creating an underground garage to appease some neighbors and reducing the size of the garage to appease others Revising plans to preserve existing trees and adding over 100 new trees to campus Reducing events and limiting school hours Designing a sustainable campus that is much more beautiful that the current one and takes into account feedback from direct neighbors Reducing the area of footprint to below the current level Within the proposal, the school cannot add students if daily car trips increase, and the growth will be gradual. This is a small school that wants to become a little bigger with no traffic impacts. It’s time to stop shifting the goalposts and approve the project on its merits.

I was able to see most but not all of the meeting earlier tonight and have some questions and suggestions. It looks like we have decided to tear down the Fry's building for this forced project. I hope it ends up being worth it for more people than just developers and builders. I also hope we don't end up evicting anyone from their existing apartment or house just for this project. As so many pointed out, parking could be a real problem. But how about if we ask for an excess of parking in the projects, and allow some of the surrounding residents to park there. That way, we could benefit from the project instead of them sponging off of our parking. And make the streets clearer in the bargain. And last, as NO one pointed out, we are already short of water here. Perhaps the developers, and others forcing this project could find a water source for us.

Is it safe to have children in school? He just gave some double-talk to her first question, and it made her mad. Listen to how she asks the second question. He says schools are safe to operate provided all the safety measures are followed: everybody vaccinated, masks, good ventilation, good testing. This when testing supplies are in short supply. Every last school has provided for great ventilation? I think his answer was really "no". Not many schools can meet all of those requirements. He goes on about how 90% of the adults in the Chicago school system are fully vaccinated. Let's see. That means your kid has a 10% chance there of having a teacher who has not been fully vaccinated. There all kinds of risks you would not accept with those odds. He did recommend the N95 masks, and I will now finally order some, and hope I don't get ripped off. Video Omicron surge impacting schools across country - ABC News (go.com) He tells how people with a broken bone get admitted, test positive for Covid, and that gets reported to the CDC as a hospital admission for Covid. Dr. John Campbell in the UK has been talking about that for days. Incidental admissions they are called. Now the news said that the hospitals are asking the CDC if they want that reporting practice to continue. Dr. Patel also mentions the huge number of hospital staff who are off work self-isolating and how "that is wrecking the health care system". BTW, in a Dr. Campbell vid I'll send tonight he shows a CDC report about Covid and diabetes. Campbell says whoever wrote the report at the CDC "did a terrible job" of writing it, making it almost incomprehensible. That is what the CDC is putting out for the world to see. I can just imagine who wrote it, and Biden and Congress should stop the Nazi affirmative action program. It is something the United States will never live down. Like what the original Nazis did. They too, will never live it down. It was a German who told me that too. L. William Harding Fresno, Ca.

Recall this when Newsom asks for your vote in November. We need a well funded legal effort to stop each project during 2022. I suppose CCs and City and County Planning Commissions could use extreme diligence in examining each proposal and not consider final approval until after Jan. 1, 2023. The constitutional amendment gutting SB9 will pass in November and take effect in January, 2023, I suppose. So we have to stop these bastards for the next 11 1/2 months. How does the pandemic end?

It doesn't reflect the wishes of many Venturans who have been participating in this multi-year process, the wishes of the Working Group nor your own instructions when Council last considered NVCAP. Please focus on building truly affordable housing and creating a livable, walkable neighborhood with community amenities and excluding high-end office space and luxury housing. Palo Alto always meets its housing goals for at-market or above market rate housing, but always falls short of meeting affordable housing goals. North Ventura provides a real opportunity to solve our below-market housing needs. The city council is going to be looking at yet another proposal for the Fry’ssite – something that has been studied by the NVCAP based on the multiyearwork of The Working Group. It appears the city staff keeps coming back withrecommendations/proposals that totally ignore the requests from the CityCouncil over the last few years. The question one is forced to ask is the following: Who does the City Staffwork for? Or alternatively, one wonders if the City Staff expects/wants theCity Council to rubber stamp their recommendations? By ignoring thedirectives from the City Council, it makes the presence of the City Council (anelected body representing the residents of this town) irrelevant! Is this reallywhat the City Council wants? It is definitely not what the residents expect ofthe City Council. With these important points raised, I would like to please listen once more tothe concerns of a number of the residents, especially from the VenturaNeighborhood. 1. Truly affordable housing is what the area needs: The latest plan, proposes 528 market rate units with the addition of 73 “ affordable “ housingunits . Unfortunately even those “ affordable “ units would expect applicants toearn at least $136, 150 annually to qualify for this housing. Given half thefamilies in the county make less, the so called “ affordable “ housing unitswould be out of reach for these residents who include, graduate students,teachers, day care employees, healthcare and retail employees, retirees andothers who need to have places to live that are within their reach. 2. Is the city Staff pushing to hand Big Bonuses to wealthyDevelopers of Top-Rent High-Rises? Bonuses that are being proposed by the city staff include extra height, smallerand denser units, fewer parking spaces than necessary, with no green spaceround buildings, as well as allowing more massive buildings, a feature notfound anywhere else in residential neighborhoods in Palo Alto. This give awayonly enriches the wealthy land owners offering such white elephants as the$4545 monthly rent for a 522 sq.ft one bedroom apartment in the new buildingat 2755 El Camino Real, which by the way was the recipient of many of thesaid city bonuses . One might ask, what happened to the City Council’srequest to come up with proposals that address affordability at the low endof the earnings curve? This question in turn should strongly suggest to the City Council that they “ should be offering bonuses only to projectsproviding 100% truly affordable housing “ 3. City Council’s request to the City Staff to phasing out offices in NorthVentura to free up land for parks and homes ! What has happened to thisrequest? The response has ben that owners of office buildings will notvoluntarily comply and are not interested in reducing their R&D/Officepresence for the benefit to the community. If this is their stated position, the question one is forced to ask is “ Why is it in the interest of the residentsof this town and who are represented by their City Council, togrant bonuses to the developers to grant concessions and bonuses inregards to parking, height limits, density, inconveniencing the residents of North Ventura? “. There needs to be a decreefrom the City Council requiring the offices to be shutdown, with out which North Ventura will forever besaturated with offices and employee cars and the increasedtraffic – instead of being like any other resident-oriented neighborhood in Palo Alto. 4. The question of providing adequate parks for the area has been a longneglected idea and this cannot continue! If anything, the staff proposals willmake the situation worse and permanent. Offers of large building to providetiny park spaces, especially for their own residents and in the roof tops doesn’tserve the purpose and severely discounts the welfare of the North Venturaresidents as a whole. 5. Proposal for under parking is a disaster that has no justification. The excuse that the building will be within half a mile of a transit hub is just that, anexcuse. Where exactly will the residents of these buildings be commuting towith their access to trains. With units being small, they are not meant forfamilies with children. Are we to believe that this building will be theequivalent to a bedroom community? Where exactly will the residents of the tall building with inadequate parking, park in their cars? Oh, never mind Iforgot, they don’t own cars. Unfortunately this is more of a bad joke than what the reality is going to be! These cars, with no proper parkingwill start spilling over into the North Venturaneighborhoods, something the local residents will have todeal with, after the “ developers “ have made their moneyand moved on ! Under parking of retail areas as proposed by the staff, which once again the needs of the tenants as well as customers – the onlypeople who benefit are the “ developers “, who have moved on with the profitin their pockets. The rest of us will be left holding the proverbial “ Bag “. 6. The question of the importance of traffic appears to have been completely forgotten. Instead of it being one of the principal points of concern for theneighborhood traffic congestion with the proposed dense housing as well asreduced parking that retail and offices are going to be saddled with. Staff needsto go back to the drawing board that gives the right priority to the question oftraffic. Taller buildings are definitely not what will be preferred in thisscenario! Replacing offices with modest (read low cost) scale housing will bethe appropriate solution for our neighborhood.

Chinese immigrant attacked in NYC dies months later SUSAN HAIGH January 9, 2022, 6:28 AM A Chinese immigrant who was brutally attacked in April while collecting cans in East Harlem has died of his injuries, and his case is now deemed a homicide, New York City police said Saturday. Yao Pan Ma, 61, died Dec. 31, police said. The attack drew national attention as part of a rise in anti-Asian hate crimes in New York and around the country. Jarrod Powell, 49, of New York City, was previously charged with attempted murder, felony assault and hate crime charges in the case, which remains under investigation. A family representative said the charges against Powell should now be enhanced. “We’re calling on the District Attorney’s Office to upgrade the charges to murder now,” Karlin Chan, a community activist in New York City and a spokesman for Ma’s family, told The Associated Press. “We're fighting for justice and I hope (Powell) never walks the streets as a free man. He needs to pay for what he did." The Legal Aid Society, which previously represented Powell, said he is no longer a client. A message was left seeking comment with another attorney listed in court records as Powell's lawyer. Powell attacked Ma from behind, knocking him to the ground and repeatedly kicking his head before fleeing the scene, prosecutors say. Surveillance video released by the police appears to show an attacker stomping on Ma's head. Chan said Ma never regained consciousness after the attack and his condition continued to deteriorate over time. Ma was moved in and out of multiple facilities during the past eight months, ultimately dying in a long-term care center run by The New Jewish Home, Chan said. A funeral is being planned for sometime next week. A police detective said in a criminal complaint that Powell admitted to attacking an Asian man at the approximate time and location of the attack on Ma, stating he did so because the man had robbed him the day before. Chan, however, said the men had never met before. Ma and his wife- - who Chan said is “devastated” by what happened to her husband — immigrated to the U.S. in October 2018 from China, where Ma was a dim sum chef. After arriving in the U.S., Ma obtained work as a general kitchen worker at a Chinese restaurant, making pastries and performing other kitchen tasks. However, when the pandemic hit, Ma lost his job when the restaurant closed during lockdown. He hadn't worked long enough to qualify for unemployment benefits, Chan said. That prompted Ma and his wife, who also lost her job as a home health care attendant, to collect returnable bottles and cans to generate extra money for food, Chan said. “They were recent immigrants,” he said. “They really didn't have any savings.” The couple have two adult children, a son and daughter, who still live in China. Prior to the pandemic, Chan said the couple lost their Chinatown apartment in December 2019 to fire and had to move in with relatives.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. I am writing to express my disappointment with the staff’s recommendations for North Ventura. The proposal offers no truly affordable housing. The 73 supposedly affordable units require a family of three to have an income of over $136,000. Where are young people supposed to live? By refusing to create affordable housing near job centers we force those that cannot afford very high rentals to live far away from where they work. Long commutes contribute to global warming and degrade the quality of life for people that spend hours in their cars. The staff proposal also does not follow Palo Alto’s guideline for four acres of parks for every 1000 residents. Finally, I am very concerned that the plan suggests .5 parking spaces per bedroom. There is very little public parking on Park Blvd. Where will residents put their cars? Apparently, some builders believe that if they build it, people will come. Maybe not. I note that AltaLocale apartments look almost completely vacant months after they have been available. The new R & D building on Park Blvd has been vacant since Q4 of 2019.

The areas below reflect how to maintain the viability of our business community and happiness of our residents. Residential – Our neighborhood development needs to reflect the viewpoints of our NV residents. We need residential zoning and building codes to be followed as they are within every neighborhood of Palo Alto. We should not make trade-offs to attract investment and development that we would not do in other neighborhoods, too. We need a balanced community that includes affordable housing, not just luxury housing. Commercial – We need residential zoning and building codes to be followed as they are within every neighborhood of Palo Alto. We should not make trade-offs to attract investment and development that we would not do in other neighborhoods, too. We have many commercial vacancies and building projects that have stopped. We need the building planning department to work with developers to ensure they come through with their project timelines. Vacant and incomplete building projects are a blight in our neighborhood. Parks – We need more public parks to improve the health of our community. There are fewer parks in NV as compared to other neighborhoods in Palo Alto. This includes adding trees to make our neighborhood beautiful. Each new commercial or multi-residential project should include open park space with public access easement. Environment – Per Canopy, South Palo Alto has less of a tree canopy than other areas of Palo Alto. We need funding and initiative to plant more trees to improve our environment. Furthermore, the Matadero Creek should be brought back to a natural state, similar to how it exists in Barron Park so it is publicly accessible. Pedestrian and Bicycling Access – Despite the increasing size of the NV community of residents and businesses, we are more bound as compared to other neighborhoods such as College Terrace. For example, there are two crossings to access the Cal Ave business district from NV, whereas there are at least 6 crossings from CT. We need additional crosswalk at Ash Street with a pedestrian HAWK signal across Page Mill similar as those across El Camino Real. The same holds true for crosswalks on ECR. There are few crosswalks across ECR as compared to other neighborhoods along ECR. Furthermore, there are some crosswalks in NV along ECR that have no crosswalk signal whatsoever. The crosswalk signals need to be optimized to allow pedestrians to cross first before car traffic. Other Vision Zero measures should be enacted, too. Lastly, in the spirit of diversity, equity, and inclusion we need an El Camino Real bike lane since many who bicycle through NV may not know where the safest bike routes are located, but they ride their bike on ECR just as car commuters do.

Dear Mayor Burt, Vice-Mayor Kou, and council members: I am writing to suggest that the recommendations regarding North Ventura Frye's site development you will be considering tonight appear to leave Palo Alto residents' input unrepresented. It is such an important development, having a bit of everything, and such a great opportunity for an iconic neighborhood in Palo Alto, that spending more time to make sure to meet at least some of the goals touted as top priorities for this project is called for. Although there have been huge sums spent on NVCAP consultants and meetings for almost 2 years, it still feels like the neighbors of Ventura as well as the community members of the NVCAP team, aren't getting their priorities realized. At the public meetings, mostly attended by North Ventura neighbors and a few of us from other neighborhoods, the straw polls all came up very strongly supporting housing, mostly below-market, and plenty of open space. Additional office space doesn't help the office/housing imbalance any more than the paltry open space being offered helps achieve the goal of 4 acres per 1,000 residents, aspired to in the comp plan. There are obvious concerns about what is considered open space; empty sight lines, median strips and rooftops shouldn't count, and in both of those areas, housing and open space, the recommended project digs the hole deeper. Please don't allow speculators and high-end developers to garner benefits over those needed by the residents, who have expressed they are open to abundant housing, mostly BMR, and require open spaces, preserves, and natural environment to breathe, relax, and enjoy this beautiful green city.

Tonight staff is making a rec on the North Ventura plan. It is puzzling to many why the plan for the area does not clearly emphasize affordable housing and a pleasant walkable housing area that will enhance the quality of life for the entire city.

Learn why this is important CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear PTC - It’s time to approve Castilleja’s project. You can clearly see that the small handful of opponents are losing steam, and the supporters throughout the city and in the neighborhood are stronger than ever, eager to see the tired old building be replaced by new, more sustainable and more beautiful structures. And as you delay, risk of lost opportunity increases. I understand that traffic is a concern for Palo Alto residents in general (including me), but Castilleja’s enrollment increase will bring no new cars to the neighborhood. The school has set an example of excellent TDM for all businesses in the area. By requiring employees to rideshare, park offsite, and take public transportation (AND by adding new bus routes for students during the pandemic), Castilleja has continued to reduce traffic to campus. They have shown both the commitment and flexibility needed to keep car counts low, and their plan makes clear that their TDM measures will broaden once enrollment increases. These measures are not just for show -- the school is teaching their students and employees the sustainable measures necessary to make life better in our shared community. It’s an imperative, not a choice. With no new cars, with more trees preserved, with lower square footage, why this continued delay? Please recommend this project for approval. It is time.

Learnwhy this is important CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Planning & Transportation Commissioners, Since you will be once again discussing Castilleja’s new master plan, I’d like to again express my strong support for the building design, and in particular comment on the lengths the school has gone to protect more trees. I live near the school on Churchill and appreciate the beautiful landscaping on the Castilleja campus, including the canopy which includes protected redwoods and oak trees. Based on the many plan revisions the school has submitted, it’s clear that protecting trees has been a high priority. Castilleja has been very responsive to the Council’s and neighbors’ concerns. In particular, significant changes have been made to the pool and the parking garage in order to mitigate impacts on protected trees. It is clear that Castilleja has gone to great lengths to re-evaluate and re-study every single tree to further protect a treasured part of our environment and our community. My understanding is that their latest proposal further protects both tree 89 and tree 155 (the latter, in particular, if the pool is moved). They’re doing everything possible to preserve existing trees while still adding 100 new trees to the canopy. Please recognize these improvements and approve their latest submission. This project has stalled under the review process for far too long. Everyone has had multiple opportunities to voice their opinion on the matter. Now, we turn to your leadership to make a decision that will enable Castilleja to meet its goals while also respecting our neighborhood. Thank you so much for your attention, Jason Stinson Churchill Ave From:Annette Glanckopf To:Council, City; Clerk, City Subject:Ventura Neighborhood Developments Date:Monday, January 10, 2022 12:38:27 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear Mayor Burt, Vice Mayor Kou, and Council Members: Please do not accept the current proposal by staff for development of the Fry's site. It doesn't reflect the wishes of the many neighborhood individuals who have been participating in this multi-year process, the wishes of the Working Group nor your own instructions when Council last considered NVCAP. WHY HAVE A WORKING GROUP, IF YOU IGNORE THEIR FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS? Please focus on building truly affordable housing and creating a livable, walkable neighborhood with community amenities and excluding high-end office space and luxury housing. Palo Alto always meets its housing goals for at-market or above market rate housing, but always falls short of meeting affordable housing goals. North Ventura provides a real opportunity to solve our below-market housing needs. Thank you for taking action to exclude commercial, include retail opportunities, create a neighborhood park, and provide affordable housing.

Dear Mayor Burt, Vice Mayor Kou, and Council Members: I have read the staff report regarding the development of the old Fry's site. I am hugely disappointed with the staff recommendations. As I have written in the past, as a resident of the Ventura neighborhood for over 25 years, I urge you to think expansively about the social and environmental, as well as economic, possibilities for developing the old Fry's site, and reject the staff recommendations tonight. Consider fulfilling a community vision that members of the NVCAP Working Group and all of us who participated in community meetings, city surveys, etc. have developed and believe in. Missing from the staff recommendations are: --higher percentage of housing that is affordable, in reality, for the service workers in Palo Alto-- teachers, healthcare workers, waitstaff, clerks, etc. --no more office space; phase out commercial uses (as was promised 25+ years ago) --parks and green space commensurate with other Palo Alto neighborhoods -- preserve the banks of Matadero Creek; it makes environmental AND mental health sense to do so. Please don't lose this opportunity to think expansively about our city's future.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear Members of the PTC, Once again, the Castilleja project is before you, and I hope you will once again vote to support their plans. Their latest submission looks like it gives you several options to consider, in particular for the underground parking garage and the pool. The school has made revision after revision in response to valuable feedback, ultimately landing on a master plan that is aesthetically pleasing, sustainable, and mindful of reducing traffic. In reviewing the options before you, I hope you will support the following: Garage: I strongly support the garage with the capacity of 69 cars (vs. 52 cars). The 52 car limit seemed to be randomly suggested at a Council meeting, but 69 cars can be parked with no additional impact, AND it will allow the school to meet their required number of spaces without having to remove green space to do so. It would make no sense at all to require surface parking when the additional 17 cars can be parked below grade. Why not choose an option that moves as many cars as possible underground? This is the best solution for the neighborhood. Pool: Two options are before you, one that moves the pool to better protect tree 89 (but will require deliveries to be above ground). A second option moves a pool stairwell and transformer, still protects tree 89, and allows for below ground deliveries. I would think the second option is preferable. Bringing deliveries below grade reduces noise in the neighborhood, and that option still better protects tree 89 compared to the previous plan. What’s most obvious to me are the lengths the school has gone to respond to feedback, protect trees, and still meet the objectives of their project. This has been an interminable approval process, and I certainly hope this will be their final round of revisions. Years of professional review by multiple third parties support the approval of this project. Let’s listen to the facts and move forward. Thank you for considering my input, and thank you for your service to our community.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear Sir/Madam Hope this email finds you, your family and everyone in your team in good health and spirits. My name is Shreyas Saxena, a resident of Sunnyvale and a volunteer of the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh, USA Inc (HSS) a non-profit socio-cultural organization for the entire family ranging from kids, adults and senior citizens. We offer a structured value education program aimed at character building, honing leadership skills and community service. We are conducting a "Health for Humanity Yogathon" from January 15-30, 2022 and would like to request a proclamation from your office in support of that. Since last year, it has been a challenging time for people all around the globe and especially in America. We thank you for the leadership and support you have been providing to our community in these trying times. We would all agree that now it is all the more important for all citizens to have good overall health by increasing the wellness quotient. We would like to request a proclamation from your office supporting our national campaign, “Health for Humanity - Yogathon'' also known as “Surya Namaskar Yajna” (Sun Salutation Yogathon) running from January 15th to January 30th, 2022. This campaign encourages people from all corners of the country regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, faith, nationality etc. to participate and achieve personal goals of healthy lifestyle. HSS launched the Health for Humanity Yogathon as an annual event in 2007 to create awareness about yoga and its advantages in achieving a healthy body, mind, and spirit. The Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) yoga routine integrates simple postures of well-balanced movements in ten steps with an easy breathing technique to provide immense health benefits for everyone, from beginners to yoga enthusiasts. In January 2021, around 5000 residents from 43 states participated in this event. Additionally, students and teachers from 91 schools participated, learned and performed ‘Surya Namaskars”. Your city administration was kind enough to provide a proclamation supporting this Yogathon in 2021. We humbly request your continued support. You can find more information about this initiative and its success over the years at http://www.hssus.org/sny/ Please have your office contact me at 937-972-5967 or shreyas.saxena@gmail.com if you would like additional information. Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. January 10, 2022 Re: City Council Review of NVCAP and the Preferred Alternative, Agenda Item No. 10 Dear Mayor Burt and Palo Alto City Council Members, Palo Alto Forward is a non-profit organization focused on innovating and expanding housing choices and transportation mobility for a vibrant, welcoming, and sustainable Palo Alto. We are a broad coalition with a multi-generational membership, including new and longtime residents. PAF has consistently made public comments about the NVCAP. Over 4 years, several respected community organizations and members, including the Planning and Transportation Commission, have supported the most feasible alternative that helps create housing and fund community benefits. The public record documents a significant number of individuals and organizations who supported Alternative 3B and participated in NVCAP community meetings, but this has not been noted in the staff report. Palo Alto Forward also supports Alternative 3B, not Preferred Alternative 1 as recommended in the January 10th staff report. Both the staff and the economic consultants, Perkins & Will and Strategic Economics, have diligently researched and outlined potential results of the various scenarios over the planning period.Their analyses have been very good. Alternative 3B remains the best alternative because it has the greatest potential for addressing the housing crisis through the creation of housing. Up until this staff report (January 2022), staff consistently noted the advantages of Alternative 3 and to a lesser degree Alternative 2. The focus was on feasibility, community benefits, and affordable housing options. The Preferred Alternative 1 is inadequate to enhance the environmental, public health, housing, and economic vitality of our town. For example, Preferred Alternative 1 would likely yield one-fourth of the housing units that would be possible through Alternative 3B. Our housing needs are not met through the Preferred Alternative 1. As we have stated previously, Alternative 3B is the best alternative because it creates: 1. An inclusive neighborhood for residents of all income levels while requiring the least public funding. 2. A healthier and sustainable neighborhood by incentivizing public transit and bicycle/pedestrian use. It addresses our climate change goals (S/CAP) by incentivizing public transit use through the reduction of parking minimums (which also reduces development costs). 3. An engaging overall design by promoting flexibility in building heights, density, and the creation of open space. 4. A community that addresses current and future neighborhoods and that values diversity, equity, and inclusion. 5. A more balanced mix of office, commercial, and residential uses to complement the economic viability of the NVCAP area, California Avenue, Page Mill/Oregon and El Camino Real. Additionally, the NVCAP area is close to services, shopping, transit, and jobs, which would set new families and low-income residents up for success. In order to ensure this happens, we must adjust our height limits, parking policies, fees, and floor-area ratios to accommodate more homes and make it economically feasible to build. Adopting Alternative 3B rather than Preferred Alternative #1 would enhance our ability to meet our RHNA goals. We hope the Housing Element Working Group demonstrates how we can identify more feasible sites and create policies that truly result in housing and amenities. The recent Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury Report (December 2021) report identifies many City impediments to sensible and creative housing options, including cumbersome review, the limited use of precise or area-specific plans with development standards and tailored zoning that simplify and expedite review, uncertainty of outcomes for applicants, lack of broader and informed engagement in the process, and other impediments to balanced development scenarios (See Recommendations 3, 4, 6a, 6b, and 9). We look forward to the City of Palo Alto responding to these recommendations. We believe that Alternative 3B remains the best alternative for the NVCAP area. Amy Sung, Board President
