Development for Review

Chair Stetson opened the public hearing at 8:23 p.m.
Dee Fitzpatrick expressed concern about the proximity of Moffett Park to the
highway and the health issues posed by the traffic fumes. She also had additional
questions of staff regarding income limits, the availability of the report for review,
and parking requirements.
Chuck Fraleigh suggested that the Housing Element have an analysis that shows
how Moffett Park will turn into a high resource area to address fair housing
concerns about the volume of low-income units in north Sunnyvale.
Agnes Veith, co-chair of Housing Element Committee and 25-year Sunnyvale
resident, advocated for the unhoused population in Sunnyvale. She suggested a
re-evaluation of current programs designed to provide supportive services in light of
the recent increase, rather than decrease in number of unhoused people.

After staff answered some questions, Chair Stetson asked for any additional
discussion or a motion from the commissioners.
After a short discussion, commissioners made the following suggestions to be

homelessness given that preliminary results from the 2022 Point-In-Time Homeless
Census data show a slight increase in homelessness in Santa Clara County.
• Include more specific details on how Moffett Park will become a high resource area
once the Moffett Park Specific Plan is released.
• Identify school-aged children data to assess needs of future school facilities.
• Analyze air quality impacts.
Chair Stetson asked for a Motion.
MOTION: Commissioner Davis moved and Commissioner Duncan seconded to
approve Alternative 1: Recommend that the City Council Approve the Draft Housing
