Mayor Ramos, Vice Mayor Clark, and Members of the Mountain View City Council,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on Item 4.2 “Adoption of Legislative Platform for 2026.”
Livable Mountain View thanks council and staff for putting together these items, and supports their adoption at this council meeting.
In particular, we thank you for the inclusion of:
- Prohousing City flexibility (Regional and State Legislative Platform – C. 33 and C. 35)
- SB 70 (should be SB 79) Alternative Plan Timelines (Regional and State Legislative Platform – C. 42)
for which we advocated at the study session at the council meeting on February 10, 2026.
With regard to SB 79, we would also appreciate clarification from the state legislature on what is precisely meant by the term “substantial compliance” in the text of the bill.
Robert Cox, Louise Katz, Chuck Muir, Julie Muir, Nancy Stuhr, Maureen Blando, Leslie Freeman, David Lewis, Carol Lewis, Muriel Sivyer-Lee, Hala Alshahwany, Sean O’Malley, Jerry Steach, Nazanin Dashtara, and Peter Spitzer
