Mountain View City Council · City Council on 2026-03-10 5:30 PM - REGULAR MEETING - Mar 10, 2026 · 10 Mar 2026 meeting

There are things about this that I really, really like.

The additional pathways, the connectivity that's going to be put in here, I think is a really significant benefit to that area.

It's been a long time since I lived in that part of the community, but it was my very first Mountain View apartment there.

in the area and I think the additional connectivity to some of the trail networks, whether it's Hetch Hetchy and otherwise are a big benefit.

I do appreciate the additional housing and addressing here specifically missing middle housing.

It's not perfect, but unfortunately I don't control the economy.

It's probably in everyone's interest that I don't control the economy.

I don't trust myself.

But I think there, as has been stated,

I'm usually the first, as I did in the prior item, to say that the canopy that we'll get in 20 to 25 years will be better than what we get today.

But this is a 10-acre site.

A lot of trees are going to be removed, some of them non-native, but still beautiful.

And some of the, especially the mature redwoods that are

you know, in otherwise good health.

And they're usually very, very thirsty, but they, in this particular case, they are in good health, even though they don't naturally belong there.

But, so, and I think the final comment is, just as Councilmember Ramirez said, I wish this were the highest and best use for this land.

I don't think this particular project is, but again, at the end of the day, we,

we need to respect the process and I think having housing here especially that addresses the missing middle is better than an empty set of office buildings.

So overall I'll support the, I plan to support the project.

I just wish that if anyone's listening, we are generally a pretty pro-housing council and I think as Council Member Ramirez said, we would probably be thrilled
