REPORT
Attached is a list of Study Issues the Planning Commission will review for 2021. The list includes:
• One (1) new CDD Study Issue; and
• Two (2) Study Issues that were deferred/below the line in 2020.
The Study Issue papers can be found on the City’s website at the following link:
<https://sunnyvale.ca.gov/government/council/study/studyissues.htm>
At the hearing on January 25, 2021, the Planning Commission will recommend to the City Council whether an item should be ranked, deferred, or dropped (or “no recommendation”, if so desired). The Planning Commission will then rank the items not recommended for deferral, drop, or no recommendation per the City’s ranking policy. The Planning Commission’s recommendations will be transmitted to the Council as input for decisions on the potential Study Issues.
Although the ranking format used in previous years will be largely followed, in lieu of each Commissioner having an individual ranking sheet to fill out independently staff will call on Commissioners to give their rankings verbally due to the virtual setting of the hearing.
The annual City Council public hearing on potential study issues and budget issues for calendar year 2021 was held on Tuesday, January 12, 2021. The City Council will rank the study/budget issues at the Council Workshop on Thursday, February 25, 2021.
