Mountain View City Council · City Council on 2025-12-16 6:30 PM - SPECIAL MEETING · 16 Dec 2025 meeting

But so we would be okay, but there is already, as council member Ramirez went over, there is state legislation that says even if we removed it, this would be what he Assembly Bill twenty eleven and state bill six.

The housing development would still be allowed without council review any so we'd remove it, but in some ways it would still be there.

Not in the housing element, but available for the same type of development.

That's correct.

And in one instance, potentially a ministerial approval that does not even come to the city council.

It would just go through a staff level review, perhaps under Senate Bill Six, some sort of city review process that might go to a public hearing, but in both cases requiring the city to allow residential development.

And and do those allow you to um

retain or preserve the existing businesses.

W we would need to to double check both laws to see if there's a required commercial component in either case.

I think our initial sense is that there's not.

So the city may have fewer options to uh impose those other uh

Sensitive qualitative components about commercial use ongoing.

And um and then also would there be if we were to remove it, would there be additional work for city staff such as additional sequ sequo review?

Uh so the the simple answer is yes, there would be additional work for staff if council opted not to um complete the the actions recommended by staff tonight.

Um we think that ultimately um the city would need to amend its housing element, which is a pretty substantial effort that's not currently planned for in our work planning and staff resourcing.

Um, you know, the council may remember um the initial housing element process and how involved it is.

Much of that's

required to amend the housing element as well, engaging with the state, preparing public review drafts, responding to public comments, conducting environmental review, and obtaining state certification.

We estimate it would take the better part of a year or more to conclude that process.
