Councilor Taylor thanked all who spoke at the Public Forum. She supported taking the time necessary to <br />formulate a good proposal for the CAFHN group. She admired the work they were doing. She opined it <br />was important to take the time to do nodal development, or whatever nomenclature it fell under, correctly <br />and to fully involve the citizens. <br /> <br />Councilor Taylor congratulated the Nectar Way/Dillard Road citizens and the SCCSPOS people for <br />forming an alliance. She felt they had much in common as they were both dedicated to doing what they <br />thought was right for their respective communities. She wanted to know who paid for the Santa Clara parks <br />survey. She thought it was ;;push polling" and that it was inappropriate. City Manager Taylor responded <br />that the City paid for the survey. <br /> <br />Councilor Ortiz also thanked everyone for coming to the Public Forum. She thanked the members of the <br />firefighters' union in particular for coming out and sharing information with the council. <br /> <br />Councilor Kelly also thanked everyone for coming down to speak. He thanked Ms. Perle for bringing copies <br />of the Santa Clara parks survey for the council. He had been involved with a number of surveys and <br />thought it was not unusual to ask questions in the ways that the survey had sought to do. He said, however, <br />that this strategy was effective only if the statements made to the survey-respondent were absolute fact. He <br />questioned whether the statements in the survey would qualify as fact. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman conveyed her gratitude to those who testified. She understood that the council had not <br />approved the draft Parks and Open Space Comprehensive Plan, but had merely voted to accept it. <br /> <br />Regarding the CAFHN and CNR issues, Councilor Bettman felt the issues could be resolved by more <br />advance work with neighborhood representatives. She thought the CAFHN proposal was modest and was in <br />line with the standards for nodal development. She remarked that since staff's objective was to remove <br />obstacles to higher density projects in neighborhoods, would not additional regulation in terms of standards <br />be considered obstacles? She wondered how the City would be able to implement character standards in the <br />face of Ballot Measure 37. She noted she had requested a work session on mixed-use development. <br /> <br />2.
