My God! What a HUGE waste of time negotiating a bunch of rules for a deck that will likely almost never be used.

Ron, what are you basing your prediction on? Roof decks almost never get used in Mountain View?

What about Prometheus adding it AFTER the city council appoved the orginal plan? That is ok?

It was just last year that City Planning outlawed roof decks for single family homes sighting that they were intrusive to other neighbours, but then Prometheus might have more influence than citizens....
Try to get a code changed in Mountain View and you will find there is no time on work schedules to fit in your issue. But the process is stream lined for City Council to bend over and lower the bar for big housing projects in any way developers want.... they can't say yes fast enough.... Substandard parking, less setbacks, more density... now roof decks.... The city has empowered itself to change anything they want, do anything they want... forget about the voters....Staff is appointed...

We have to fight against these huge apartment or condo projects, this project is an eye sore. We were deceived when we voted years ago, we didn't think about the light rail being used as a wedge to build dense apartments or condos close to the station with the justification that less car trips will be needed. I haven't heard of a study showing how many trips were eliminated by light rail or how parking needs were reduced. Does anybody believe that this complex will have less cars because it's close to light rail or Cal Train, it has less parking spaces. We need to vote for City council candidates that state they are opposed to high density.
