I live in Old Mountain View, although far enough away from you that I don't have to be recused from this particular uh agenda item.
podcast-host
But I know that a lot of my neighbors and probably yourself and your neighbor.
podcast-host
it's in part the history of the neighborhood that drew us to the neighborhood.
podcast-host
Um and it's also uh one of the things I think that gives our city a sense of place and a sense of community and certainly
podcast-host
Um, you know, I think it's not only the people living there close by who appreciate the sense of history.
podcast-host
But um you know legislation as far flung as from Sacramento as S B seventy nine, which is an upzoning uh measure, recognizes that we need to add housing and upzone, but we also need to protect
podcast-host
our historic places and sense of character.
podcast-host
So I think it's widely recognized.
podcast-host
All that said, um uh I think that we could streamline the process, um, particularly when you're I'm I'm glad that staff reports that this has improved the compatibility of the project, but when you're working with the backyard and things like that, I think we could
podcast-host

podcast-host
Um so I look forward to that entire process.
podcast-host
Um and in in addition to that, I do want to note for people that although the process was longer, um

podcast-host
their setbacks were not their house was not historic and their setbacks were not grandfather Dan, if I'm using the right terms.
podcast-host
Okay, I am.
podcast-host
Good.
podcast-host
Um
podcast-host
So um yeah, thank you for being
podcast-host
patient with us in going through this before we've streamlined the process, but any feedback you might have but I think what you're doing is important and any feedback you might have would be welcome and with that I um I will be supporting the motion to approve.
podcast-host
Yeah, I just wanted you to clarify, you've sort of said this in your comments already, but we've gotten a number of comments from members of the public.
