HIA Specific Plan

Lives across from the proposed development; appreciates setbacks and garages-as-buffer but says 155-foot maximum height is still too tall next to one- and two-story homes.

Property owner south of Harbor supports the plan and wants taller buildings allowed there, citing freeway access and future tax revenue.

Homeview resident thanks staff for setback increases but wants heights lowered, worries the master plan opens a 'Pandora's box,' and insists Homeview streets stay closed to through traffic.

Wants transit, parking, and street-level livability front and center — says 2.5 million square feet means tens of thousands of daily car trips unless Caltrain access is prioritized.

Longtime Homeview resident and advocate for supportive housing for adults with disabilities; hopeful a HIA site could serve that population.

Suggested permanent supportive housing be added to the list of community benefits developers can provide in exchange for building approvals.

Wants tall buildings south of Harbor, not near homes; raised traffic spillover onto Furlong, parking-garage graffiti and noise, and asked for mature landscaping trees.

Homeview resident: heights still too massive, traffic impacts unaddressed, garage security and daytime privacy concerns, and asked whether dead-end streets will stay closed permanently.

Worried about RVs and parking on O'Neill, the short 35-foot setback, tree loss worsening light pollution, and that 155 feet is unrealistic versus comparable biotech buildings at 80-115 feet.

Hiller Street resident: 155-foot heights exceed any biotech buildings she's worked in, and fears commuter traffic cutting through residential streets.

Spoke in favor of even taller buildings (beyond 200 feet) on the freeway side, with mixed-use housing included.

Homeview resident baffled that taller buildings aren't being considered south of Harbor; asked for clearer map annotation for non-planners.
