I see no one in attendance Let's Risen their hand so With that, let's go forward to our first scheduled agenda item our only scheduled agenda item for tonight, which is a Public hearing on a design review for 431 Humboldt and the project planner is Adam Ross Adam if you could give your presentation, please Thank you, Mr. zoning administrator. I'm gonna share my screen and You'll see it now open it up to full screen. So bear with me one second. Do you see that? Okay, excellent So, thank you, mr. Zoning administrator members of the public. My name is Adam Ross Project planner for the application before you tonight, which is the 425 Humboldt Street apartments Located at 431 Humboldt Street It is a minor design review subject to the Resilience City development measures within the downtown station area specific plan with hence the special zoning administrator meeting at 5 p.m. As The zoning administrator had already explained The project description here's just a quick image to get it started off as you can see there are It's an eight-story building. It's a two-tower design There's there are sky bridges connecting the two towers. You have an internal landscaped Courtyard for residents the Humboldt Street side right here. You have pedestrian only entrances on the first and second floors You have office space non residential uses if and also uses that are associated with the Residential units above which are in floors three through eight and there are a total of 94 market rate units and there are Vehicle access points off the Rylee Street side of the project. It touches both Humboldt and Rylee Street As you can see kind of this concrete bit here In here is are the parking areas So it is a an eight-story mixed-use resident mixed-use Building it should say specifically mixed-use with 94 residential units with a breakdown of five studio units 65 one-bedroom units and 24 two-bedroom units again floors one through two are mixed use Particularly on the right on the Humboldt Street side and floors three through eight are resident are the residential units The project includes an approximate total gross square footage of a hundred and thirty six thousand nine hundred and fifty three square feet There is that internal courtyard. I showed you on the third story, which I'll show an image again later is Approximately forty two hundred and fifty square feet and there is an eight four four hundred four hundred seventy three square foot roof terrace The total height is approximately 91 feet tall. That's the top most point for for the building For the building is and that's shown on the elevations which are as part of the Packet here. There are 71 parking spaces proposed parking spaces Under the downtown stationary specific plan. There is no minimum or maximum parking requirements for new developments Here's the project location. It's it includes the Re a lot line adjustment which would then create this parcel for the site Right now. It's an existing parking lot and a structure to be removed As you can see here, there's the Humboldt Street side. This is the pedestrian entrance side and the Riley Street side with Only vehicle access entry points here On the southern portion of the block that it's on its mid block is fifth street And on the northern portion is seventh street and down here You can see it's close proximity to courthouse square which shows that it's right in the core of the downtown area The general plan and zoning for the site includes core mixed use that is both the zoning and the and the general plan designation That in in that it also has a floor area ratio also the known as FAR of 8 Which is the max FAR allowed for certain properties in the downtown it ranges from 4 6 and 8 and Those without FAR in the downtown are typically Within historic preservation districts This project comes in at an FAR of 4.8, which is right above the mid FAR requirement also found in the zoning code for new development and The use itself is allowed by right So the only entitlement here is the minor design review under the under the Resilience city development measures, which is found in section 20-16 point zero six zero specifically Which modifies the review authority for certain entitlements in this case You would if it wasn't in a priority development area such as the downtown stationary specific plan It would be a major designer view where in this case it is now a minor designer view After a concept designer view meeting is held with the designer view board Which did occur on January 21st of 2021 Where the designer view board provides reviews the project as a at a concept level and they would provide non-binding comments for for the for the any sort of redesigned for the project and These four represent the ones that are considerations that were provided there are others also included in the minutes of that meeting however for purposes of being concise These are the ones that are considerations. The others are were more of Approval of certain design elements So one of the suggestions considerations is that the pedestrian bridges could be more airy Another is explore visual design and treatment of the underside of balconies The next submittal show the materials of the diamond shape sink shingles and consider keeping a corner office on the first floor The applicant has provided a response to these comments Which was provided under late correspondence and is included in the agenda packet for this project Here's a site plan a Proposed site plan as you can see the Humboldt Street side and the Riley Street side So again, this is where the vehicle access would occur and this is where the pedestrian access would occur I'm sorry that I believe this is the Existing and then this is the proposed So as you see here, it's it's filled out pretty much So you have there is the demolition of the existing single-story building for which it was shown that there is no historic there is no historic significance of that building and Therefore complies with all the requirements of removal of the building as part of this project Here's a first floor plan This is the Humboldt Street side. You have the pedestrian access again over here on the front end You have two entrances for the vehicle access So again, I'm just so the resiliency to development measures I'm sorry. I should correct myself Under the new downtown station area specific plan There are no minimum or maximum parking requirements and within that determination the city within that information the city has determined that they're the drive-iles and parking space sizes do not need to comply with with normal Standards for parking and drive-out access. So you do see some structural columns here, which reduces the overall turning radius for here But there is So but there it is relatively close to that what we do care about is where it connects to the public right of way One entrance is for the first level only and you see here Here's an entrance that is that goes up to the second floor Which is here and then it's essentially the same layout for parking and here is the second floor which of the non-residential frontage which Includes a mezzanine for an office and some other amenities for the residential units on the upper floors Here's the third floor plan again. This is looking straight down You have the residential units up here on both tower sides and the internal courtyard Right here. There is landscaping. There are features here for For use of the resident future residences and you also see balconies on the starting on the third floors This is the fourth through seventh floor plan. They're essentially the same and each one has a sky branch connecting the the two towers The eighth floor has a Roof top terrace over here Which it also provides some landscaping as well, which is used for which is used by residences of this location The roof plan shows how the photovoltaic system will fit on it You can see these these are what those are for elevations. I'll lightly touch these and just give you a brief quick Just a brief quick Description of each and then I will let the applicant design team get into more of the the design elements that are that are provided here, but here is the north elevation which of The project site so you see that there are not very many windows, but that is because there is an existing five-story residential building already in use on this block the street block here is the east elevation Which is the Humboldt Street side can see you have glazing for the for the entrances as well as the non-residential uses have Window glazing and transparency there. Here's the south elevation where there are existing commercial uses I believe their office space is here and other Uses as well that are other commercial uses I should say here's the Riley Street Elevation, which is the west elevation with the two-car access points Right here. This one goes to the second story of parking and this one is the ground floor of parking and then you have residential buildings above you also have some potential photovoltaic going down the side of the building That as part of the design as well So here's elevation internal elevations for the courtyards in some more elevations for your consideration We've here's the rooftop terrace and then here are some 3d elevations So again, here's the this is from the beginning, but this is the Humboldt side. This is that existing residential building on the north side and the existing commercial uses on the southern sides of the property This is a view looking. I believe south. Yes looking south on Humboldt Street. This is looking north west of Humboldt Street and here's that rooftop terrace Here's the Riley Street side looking north and here are the materials provided The material board I should say which is in electronic form obviously Which includes, you know, the PV panels The I won't try and mispronounce that but these are the diagonal shingles cement plaster wall painted cement plaster metal panels and aluminum canopies and so on Here's the conceptual landscape plan Or the preliminary landscape plan I should say which is the that third story internal courtyard Here's some street trees that are required and some of the Some of the Riley Street right-of-way improvements that Proposed with this project site as well. And here is that 8th floor 8th story rooftop terrace Or I'm sorry 8th floor terrace. I shouldn't say rooftop And here's some more landscape materials Provided in the in the agenda packet with that was provided with the submittal of the application I do want to point out that there what before I read the slide there was a response to the exhibit a which is the combination of conditions of approval from engineering fire water and and environmental compliance submitted to Provided by the applicant with red lines We haven't really looked at that yet, but we would probably need to discuss that for any changes to that. I also have edits to the Resolution that was uploaded as part of late correspondence as of 323 For this project site, we kept the original one that was posted as part of the agenda and We will need to discuss those changes they consist of Clarification issues for I should say admit more administrative nothing substantial there is no difference in the description of the project there's no It just includes a bit more substantiated information for the second finding and one finding was erroneously Excluded from the one that was originally posted And obviously I will show that and discuss it whenever it is appropriate during this meeting and with that Planning and economic development department recommends that the zoning administrator approved the minor designer view permit for the 425 Humboldt Street Apartments project and again I am Adam Ross the project planner for this and I'm here to answer any questions and the applicant team has also submitted a Presentation for which I can whenever you're ready for I'll cure that up Thank you, Adam. I do think it's appropriate that you go through the changes So that everyone in attendance will be able to consider and respond to those On the agenda, so if you could take that time now I'd appreciate that I'm sorry go through which which courses can you just you suggested there were changes to the findings as well as Exhibit a or h excuse me exhibit a Sure, I'll start with the Resolutions and I'll show you a side-by-side of both of them To give me one second and I will share that Okay, do you see the two resolutions side by side? Do format So on the left you see the original posted with the agenda and on the right is the as of three 23 that has the the bits of just slightly missing information And and I'll let me just clarify that so Some of the changes here So this one says commercial space. This one is just more specific to the office space here for the mixed use portion of the site We also have the addition of these bullet points, which are the non binding recommendations that were during the concept design review with the design review board Those were added here. I went over the four recommendations in the presentation This includes the ones that are you know, see lovely project tastefully done Those are in here And then which is also on the agenda minute or the minutes from that meeting Which are approved as well And then whereas record pre-application meeting Okay, that's the same Okay, and then we get into Just some language clarification here as opposed to here After I just added after due consideration of all evidence And reports offered for review does find does find and determine the following. So that would be in addition to what's here There was a bit more What was uh Just a bit more information about the project description Such as two tower design Minimizes shading just surrounding structures and streetscapes Helps identify the residential units above the street level office uses and incorporates an asymmetrical roof line That compliments the downtown core skyline And some more information about the internal courtyard on the third floor For uses of the residents as it relates to the finding for Framework of design review. So those are in response to the framework of design review, which is in the design review guidelines And this the rest everything in here Everything in this was let Everything added here is in addition to this was not removed at all this was just from about here To here was added in to reinforce that finding and the reference for mass timber for Sustainable materials was added to this finding as well And then there are certain things just for clarification of writing out nine two five rather than just the numbering then there was See and this one is this one here, which has a different Which is just a one font size bigger. This is the finding that was erroneously It was mistakenly excluded from This resolution that was posted on the agenda So this is one required for A finding required for approval of of a design review resolution And can you read that please? Sure the people that are haven't seen this updated version Yes, the design of the proposed development will provide a desirable environment for its occupants visiting public and its neighbors Through the appropriate use of materials texturing color and would remain aesthetically appealing and be appropriately maintained And that the ground floor utilizes unique paving and internal planners behind the large blazing on the streetscape That provides aesthetically pleasing human-scaled elements for employees visitors and pedestrians the 90 floor residential units above include patios for most units and internal landscape courtyard and a floor terrace For the use and enjoyment of residents and their guests while cladding and randomly placed vertical metal panels are a warm reddish brown color While street chairs are incorporated to further enhance both pedestrian streetscapes For pedestrians motorists and visitors Excellent. Thank you. Are there any other substantive Editions or relations to the findings necessary to act on this matter there were just there were two There were two conditions of approval which clarifies the compliance with the exhibit a dated march 23rd, which was not included here And then condition number four new condition number yes condition number four is new And then we have There's one more that is more It's inherent in the code, but it was added in just for clarification. So we have 10 There was two more like that. So we have A commercial linkage fee For inclusionary housing was added number 10 This project shall be subject to a commercial linkage fee pursuance is city code chapter 21-02 inclusionary housing And that is as it relates to the First floor on the Humboldt side, which is the non-residential portion of the site and then The number seven which is the building materials elevations and appearances of this project as presented for issuance of the building permit Shall be the same as that approved by the zoning administrator any future additions expansions for modeling, etc Will be subject to review and approval the director or zoning administrator depending on the level of change So that is inherent in the code under resilient city development measures as well But that was added in just for Just for administrative clarifications and then that would Be it and then just a little bit of change to how the last sentence is structured If conditions have not been met or if work has not commenced within two years from approval date This approval shall automatically expire and be invalid unless the application for extension is filed prior to expiration So that's standard language that's included on on resolutions and that concludes the changes to the uh resolution that was provided to the As is originally provided on the agenda as it was posted This was provided Yesterday as late correspondence and posted to the agenda At online for view for for the public as well and then you said there were Exhibit a I'll I'll ask the applicants have they had chance to review exhibit a and are in agreement They sorry, I could really quick. I could answer that. Um, I know you asked them but they provided a response to the exhibit a with With corrections and and clarifications to some of those Some of those Conditions of approval. Okay All right, so thank you for that I thought your presentation was complete and thorough and in describing the project. It's design Um, the structure and it's how it functions on the site. So I appreciate that Uh, now like to give opportunity for the project team to make their presentation Um, adam if you can help them with their PowerPoint. Yeah So, uh, we're waiting for uh, I believe david delisantus I see that christine talbot is part of the applicant team. She's here and then Uh, thomas robertson and herald robinson are part of the applicant team for this So if you wish to comment, uh, please raise your hand and you'll be acknowledged And if I did too for to comment This is uh, rob robinson. I'm not sure if you can hear me. I can but I do have my hand raised so So my name is rob robinson and I'm the president of IGH partners and we are the sponsor Of the project and the developer And so I'll start out with a Quick introduction about us and then I'm going to turn it over to the folks over at tlcd Um, just a little bit about myself. I actually lived in santa rosa for a number of years Back in the early 90s and late 80s My family also my my dad also lived in santa rosa and I helped Start the vang man triathlon back in those days and then went on to a career in in a finance in Back east and moved back here and eventually started a development company Which we had developments in phoenix and san francisco and the midwest of those developments Three were office spaces and then we had about 600 units of multi family And Those I ended up leaving that firm and started igh partners and this is our first project And the project was conceived with the help of tom robertson Who is my business partner on this and tom robertson everybody knows him and he's he's a great partner and He's been developing in santa rosa for 30 years. So I feel like I'm in good hands And Having said that we started he and I started working on this in really in late 2018 And We've we've spent a lot of time with tlcd and our our team And we're eager to get approval so that we can move on to the Harmony process Our goals we have a couple of really key goals that we've we've That we've adhered to throughout the whole process one is We want to increase the housing in santa rosa and we want to help transform The downtown santa rosa the downtown core We think that over time the transformation of santa rosa's downtown is going to be very exciting especially as other infrastructure projects like the freeway and the airport Complete their processes Another big goal for us Is that wherever possible? We've put together a local team Whether it's a tlcd or our builders And and all the other professionals involved and the reason that we thought that was important is because The transformative nature of what we're trying to do and what santa rosa is trying to do and We want to we want people in santa rosa to benefit from the project just like us. So that's a big part of our overall corporate mission and So far We've just gotten unbelievable support from the city So we'd like to thank everybody at the city that's helped this project move along and Literally lightning pace. We started the whole entitlement process In late november and early december and and here we are in front of the zoni administration So there's just been a terrific process for us so far. So thank you And that's all I have Thank you, mr. Robinson I appreciate your comments and if you wish to introduce your other team members or To the team that members want to talk us he don't see Well, maybe tom could say a few words and then we'll pass it on to don and he'll go through the presentation So if tom if you're if you're there and you can you can say a few words. I'm sure everybody'd like to hear from you Can you hear me now? Yes Okay. Well, first of all again, I'll thank you to the staff Colle Adam has done a terrific job Uh, we actually didn't file For dr until february 12th And you do the arithmetic. I don't know that any city or county or other jurisdiction in california Has approved anything any more quickly, but it's Very very helpful for us And we're looking forward to getting a project built and uh, I know don tamasi Is going to make a presentation so I can either give us back to rob or Don you could go right ahead with with your presentation Okay, this is don tamasi. Am I on Can everyone hear me? You are. Yes, right. Thank you. So thanks. So don tamasi principal of tlcd architecture um, so we're Obviously really excited about this project. We've been Advocates for downtown housing for a long time. This is a perfect project in that regard Adam, could you forward the slides to the first of the renderings?  There we go right there. Um So, um This is actually one of of a couple different buildings in this area. They're both the same height one seven stories and one eight one um across across the street between Mendocino and Riley and the other one up in ross street up next to the pedal the press democrat building So it's really a part of a of a larger Movement in downtown santa rosa to bring in affordable housing The the scheme we initially looked at was a traditional u-shaped building facing south with the courtyard facing south But it really cut off the apartment building to the north and we've actually been working with the the owner of that building Throughout the design process to make sure that our building is compatible with with his And not cut off views any more than necessary and so forth. And so we ended up going to this scheme of two towers connected by the sky bridges And it really lets a lot of light into the the south elevations of those apartments It actually really defines the design of this project too. It makes it it makes it really interesting Um The um as adam mentioned there's a Nice courtyard that's created by this scheme on the third floor that christine talbot from quadriga will speak to In more detail So next um next slide. Thank you. So as adam mentioned, this is looking south Um from the building. I just mentioned that's owned by my few few trails who we work with Again very few buildings very few windows facing facing this building just these corner windows and some very narrow building windows at the Corridor ends. We have some units for balconies approximately half of them the exterior material is a random width Um standing seen metal it's sort of in this brownish red color, which we think fits in really nice We we strove to have a very rich palette and you'll see that more in some of the other the other schemes Next slide This is also an elbow looking north and it probably best describes the project and The the streets are actually fairly narrow given the height of the building and Perhaps the most visible View of this building is from from helmet looking north right from this view here. Um, you can see the inside Facades of the building are treated differently to provide different characters at the inside courtyard and so forth using a very rich blue color And the the glulium beams that that connected two towers and in one of the comments that came up from the design review was to try to reduce the The the mass of those bridges and we'll probably be able to reduce it somewhat We purposely went with glulium beams because this is a mass timber building And we wanted to express the fact that mass timber is how the building is being constructed. So We're doing everything we can to keep this the sky bridge as open as possible. But but we do Feel strongly about about going with the with the wood Um, we've also because the building is divided from this view And also from looking north on Riley street in the two fairly narrow towers We've been able to treat the the units In the stair towers definitely so the stair towers are what you see in sort of that silver color there Which is a diamond shaped metal shingle. They're about 20 inches square Um, it's sort of a a reference to the nearby residential neighborhood in particular the cherry neighborhood cherry street neighborhood And then there's there's narrow slits that uh at the end of the corridors that aren't as visible in this rendering but between that those metal shingles and the redish brown metal siding and photovoltaic so it really Breaks up the the mass of the building quite nicely And then you'll see that up on the on the top Um floor you'll see the again. It's not a roof deck. It's the eight floor deck There is no roof deck per se and there's an amenity room up there for the for the apartment residents the Entrance has a canopy down on the street. It's meant to be as visible as possible as the main entrance into the the building um, and then Another of the comments that was made at the design review board was wouldn't be nice if the same If there could be an office on the other side of the building on the north east side and indeed that is there is a corner office there in the I think they actually suggest to keep in the current tenant there in the current tenant does have a first right of refusal for that space So that is exactly what we were thinking as well And you see up in the roof that the roofs are pitched On both straight frontages to give it a little more of a residential character and to allow higher ceilings on the top floor and to Really show off the underside of the of the wood of the wood soffit So at the behind the lobby, um, there'll be a two-story lobby behind that entrance and then there's a variety of different spaces in there from an office to a exercise room to a little coffee bar mail boxes and so forth um and then You don't see the No, if I can interrupt here, can I ask adam to advance the um presentation so we can see Uh, the floor plans you're speaking of or describing Okay, you want to you want to go to the first floor plan which Thank you. Oh there there. So um, so the green is a tenant amenity space. You see the Doors in a lower right corner. It has the two-story space. There's a dramatic Wood stairway in that space that goes up to the second floor And what you're seeing here is office room work room mailboxes and so forth And then the the reddish space the reddish brown space above it is the tenant space for for an office space It's also has a two-story lobby and then the rest of its two stories just like the tenant amenity space And if you can go to the next slide Here you see what's um, what's in blue is the second floor of the tenant amenity space restrooms some storage than the Largest space in the upper right That's rented in blue is the exercise room and you can see how the stair works there And then um, similar thing in the in the tenant improvement space. You have the stair Which is open to below for the two-story lobby and The the second floor essentially a mezzanine above Okay So these are this is a typical residential floor with the different units and um I don't have too much to say about these unless you want me to go into them in in any detail I think can you there was a comment made in uh I think mr. Robinson's presentation or and also in the narrative regarding affordable units is the intention to add affordable units in this project to fulfill the inclusionary ordinance requirements I think rob would have to answer that that question Okay, we we can uh revisit that issue later. Why don't you just continue? Okay. Um, so thinking back to the renderings Yeah Yeah, okay. Yeah, go go bat one or a head one, I guess So this is a view looking north on Riley street Which obviously is a lot narrower than humbled in you know, similar design the building does have two Recesses in the facade to break the mass up. You don't really see it from this extreme angle But you can see the notches in the roof to divide the building into three And this is where the um the parking garage will be It'll be a ventilated parking garage. It will have some openings which will be obscured by side obscuring screens, which were Originally we were thinking metal, but we're now thinking about the possibility of using scrap Um Timber heavy timber for the project, which should be be really beautiful. Um, we're really beautiful Douglas firwood with the clear finish Okay, next So I So the the renderings Give a better sense of what the finishes are. I think then this does but Again, we looked at this Um You building is two different towers. It was almost like one building. We pulled the part into two separate ones With the interior being having a different character than the street facades And that's a really central concept to this project. And again, we use a different color. We use the blue We have the sky bridges and we have the landscape courtyard on the third floor that Christine Talbot will talk about Um, and from this angle, you see you see photovoltaic panels that would plan for the roof as well as the the walls You can see the the metal shingles that we're using at the stairways and then the the street facades and Including how they wrap back to the stairway Is a random spaced metal standing seam roof with that really rich reddish brown color Um And I think that's about it. I think um christine A Talbot can uh can take it from here and talk about the various landscape portions of the project Thanks Don Hi, i'm christine talbot from quadriga landscape architecture and um I don't know. I guess we can't really zoom in on this so i'll um, i'll try and be descriptive of my words, but The plan that you're looking at shows really the three floors of landscape improvements starting at the ground floor with the streetscapes on both humboldt and Riley street And just as a precursor, you know, when we submitted this plan we had anticipated Providing a richer streetscape on Riley street You know Extending the precedent set by Hughes building to the north of widening the sidewalk and we thought that would be a great opportunity to then include some street trees And subsequently we've learned through engineering's comments that the water line is Directly under where our trees would go or within a foot So it's likely that we won't be able to plant trees on Riley But we are looking at widening the street to be to provide more consistent streetscape experience With the northern property and then the future properties, you know as they build out to the south So in this plan we're showing three trees in the streetscape on Riley that likely won't Be able to be planted there due to the utilities But I think You know the Riley street side is more of the parking garage access I think the intent with the architectural design and probably pedestrian patterns is going to be with more access From the humble street side. So we'll Focus our attentions on creating that user experience nicer at the street level with street trees keeping the lower street Canopy consistent with the rest of the street and also for aerial access for fire um creating Some special paving areas of the entries to help provide wayfinding for pedestrians and create a richer experience And then as we move around the building, you know, we have some small setbacks around the building that will include some bioretention area along the north Um and then some gated access so people can't get Uh behind the building and create issues and then we'll provide some privacy fencing along the south property line And moving yes that whole L shaped and then creating a gate along The Riley street south entrance so that there'll be security around the building Moving to the Thank you. Yes And then we have some imagery of what those gates might look like we're looking right now at providing kind of a steel Frame with the wood very modern look keeping with the architectural field of the building Moving to the the third floor courtyard, which is really A very dynamic space. I think it's going to be, you know, a great amenity for the residents It provides a lot of functionality as well as aesthetic interest For people living on upper floors. It's enticing. It has this very curvilinear feel providing these little nook areas for people to gather We have proposed some Some fire pit areas and then outdoor seating and then the planters are A dual function they provide Vegetation, but they're also stormwater Planters, so they're helping with the stormwater management for the building And we'll be including some smaller airy trees to help provide some privacy For the residents across from each other and to create A very ethereal feel For the courtyard The eighth floor. I think adam discussed a little bit The terrace That's really an indoor outdoor space. There's a lounge inside and then there's opportunity to move in and out to this outdoor area where we've Created just a very flexible space so that people can make it their own with some movable furnishings We envision a raised planter at the edge To help create that green cascade that you saw in the renderings And really offset the architectural interest with the wood and The beams that are kind of showcasing that space We did include some lighting information on this plan I know that there was a separate packet of lighting fixtures sent But the intent is really You know just providing a nice glow for some of these special areas You know keeping with the The dark sky ordinance And not bothering our neighbors but creating nice ambient space We do include a plant list as is typical and we will meet You know all the requirements for a water efficient landscape The planting palette that we've selected is more evergreen with some flowering plants. So we have less Uh Pranials so we don't anticipate a lot of Dieback seasonally it'll be more of an evergreen feel so it will look nice your round. That's our intent And the street trees come from the city street free list. So we'll work with the with parks on that I think you know unless you have any specific questions. That's The elements that I wanted to highlight so I will Um Ask it back to dawn If he has any other final comments Thank you And am I on again? Yeah, um, so I do not have any further comment. I guess I had two quick things Two of the other comments that adam mentioned from the design review board was To explore the visual design And treatment of the underside of the balconies at one point we were hoping that those could be mass timber extended out Um, it turns out that for structural reasons and for waterproofing reasons that is not possible. So we'll be using A different material, but we'll definitely be paying attention Because we understand the importance of that. It's quite visible from From the street, but at this point, we don't know what that material will be and then There was some interest in the metal shingle product product that we're using. I think we submitted that to Adam But again, it's basically a very simple interlocking 20 inch square Galvalume metal shingle, which is it basically it has a light sheen to it And um, it's not It's not reflective but it has this a little bit of sparkle to it. So it's meant to be a very kind of a low-keyed material But what there's a really really interesting It's sort of unexpected texture And I think that um, perhaps rob may want to conclude our our presentation Thank you I'm here. It's uh, if uh, if we're ready unless you have other questions I do not um I just uh, I think I'll reserve my questions and comments After the public if any are in attendance and wish to comment and speak now Is there any member of the public that wishes to comment? If so, please raise your hand and you'll be recognized. All right. We'll see none. I will close the public comment portion of the meeting and then At this point Deliberate, I guess as zoning administrator So I'm impressed. This is a great project. It is certainly um A marker towards the future of what was trying striving to achieve with the downtown plan um A lot of effort to bring it forward In this manner and I I want to comment also it was giving quite a bit of a review um I did uh View the concept review by the design review board And I was pleased uh through the the tone and character of the comments made by them that indicated that um There were very much support of the design And and the responses that you prepared to their comments, I think were appropriate and thoughtful I appreciate your taking time to do that. It's really important. They are design experts And I think provide Important insight to help to make sure this and other projects in the city fit in terms of design and will be long-lasting elements of our community, so I think that was very worthwhile. I do have a couple questions um And I know uh in the presentation by staff Uh regarding parking that we have no standards um That will be applied in this case because parking is not required but I would like to hear your comments about How you think the parking will function for your tenants because it is an amenity. It is a um a resource for them Uh, can you display the parking levels and talk about circulation and size And and in your thought process of how that will ultimately be developed or or Finished for tenant use if you raise your hand you'll be recognized This is tom robertson very quickly, uh, David de la santos who's on the On at the hearing could give an explanation of that, but it basically Tries as much as possible to conform to the San Rosa downtown parking ordinance But there are some exceptions with more compact spaces and But I'd like David if you would mind uh to comment on that Hi, yes, uh, David de la santos principle with tlcd With regard to the the parking I think the major From a design layout point of view we think it will work fine We think that I mean the the the exceptions to the The standards are in the drive aisle with as adam mentioned earlier in the presentation I think there may be a foot narrower than what the the city standards call for We still think that there's sufficient room for head-in parking people to negotiate navigate through the garage and then the other exception that we have here In an effort to provide as many parking stalls as possible for the tenants is we are Uh skewing heavily on the uh compact size of the stalls there The parking stalls are predominantly compact in size. There are a few Standard size parking stalls, but other than that everything else is I mean the parking stalls size themselves are To city standards And we believe that the circulation although a little bit Narrower Will still function properly Okay, um My next question is um Regarding consideration of alternatives to street landscaping on right on Riley It's disappointing to see that uh There was infrastructure conflict or constraints to prevent trees planking there what What other options are in consideration to help? Soften that street I would say sidewalk experience Along that building elevation, I think I'll comment here. I think Humboldt is going to be great. You do a really good job there But given the extra length on the frontage on that Riley side What sort of landscape treatments? Could help there In lieu of the trees Hi, this is Christine again So yeah, we've been considering some options. I think Part of the ongoing discussion is like what is the The goal for Riley street because there's not a A specific plan for the street. There's just been Some widening of the sidewalk to the north and then we anticipate they'll be widening to the south um But there's no street trees Currently on Riley. I think because it's so narrow and even To the north where the sidewalk has already been widened. There's no street trees in that area So it may be that we look at providing some raised planters either adjacent to the building um I hesitate to put trees and Planters because we've done that on other sites and they just do not thrive. It's just They just look sad So I think, you know, if we can continue working with utilities I don't know how far we'll get but I would like to get some greenery there whether it be some binding or You know, raise planters adjacent to the building. It's something that we need to discuss further with the project owner regarding maintenance and so forth and Mr zoning administrator if I could add some of the reason for um the The potential that there is likely not actually going to be trees on Riley Is for fire aerial access requirements So that also dictated kind of what they were limited to on this side It is within the conditions of Of the exhibit a as well to reflect that as you know as approved By the engineer, but there are some restrictions with fire as well as just um so So whatever those may be I mean it has to do with height, but if there is a potential for any sort of conditioning We want to be careful on what it looks like so that they don't run into an issue If fire were to come in and say actually you can't do that I I appreciate that Adam I understand And that's a challenge with a project of this scale. There's always back of house Operations And when you have a double frontage one of them is going to be The primary entrance In this case humble the other one is going to be secondary But yet this is an urban environment and both frontages are going to be very visible and and exposed so Well, I will suggest a condition. I will would really encourage and urge that careful thinking The Put forward to see if there's architectural treatment or Some type of landscaping that wouldn't conflict with um fire aerial access um Something that helps to To make that pedestrian experience along that side of the street less Stark Let's see there was also I had a question about affordability. This project is subject to the inclusionary ordinance and The the developer can elect to include affordable units in the project or pay a new fee and I just wanted to hear from the team or the owner of what the intention is and in terms of How to fulfill the inclusionary ordinance requirements? And I see Tom has his hand up Nope Uh, I think we're raw if he's ready to talk about this, but I can certainly respond to it I see Rob also his hands up if we can recognize recognize Rob, please. Thank you Okay Can you hear me? Yes Boy, I've been struggling with my uh connection the last 10 minutes or so So I've been putting my hand up and and I guess it just it just wasn't seen so You know our current plan is that The project is is market rate and we're intending to pay the you know the fees that would be required for that um as as part of our program Okay, well, we're certainly um I mean both our equivalent means to help to help our resolve our housing issues here in the city and But I yeah, I'm upset about that Mr. Zoney administrator, I can comment. So just a little bit further That the project is conditioned to comply with the inclusionary housing ordinance. I mean it's inherent in the code it's it's required whether it's conditioned or not, but they have the option of If they go full market rate They pay an inclusionary housing fee which goes to city funds for inclusionary housing projects Which is actively redistributed to other projects throughout the city They can either provide onsite affordable If they were to do onsite affordable It's four percent for low income dedicated. So with 94 units It's uh 3.87 Uh residential units So I believe you'd round up to provide four units of low income to comply with the inclusionary housing ordinance Or if they were to elect for very low income, it would be three percent. So it would be three units Dedicated to very low income. There's also an innovative approach So there's a potential there to have a combination of in lieu fees And have one say, I don't know there there's not many required here, but um You know, there there is there are some innovative approaches that can also be taken, but typically we condition projects to allow for That to be completed on the back end. That's prior to occupancy essentially so and So that that way they can dictate which fees are appropriate for inclusionary housing Or if they need to enter into a contract Uh for with the housing and community services department to provide onsite affordable units thank you now is um exactly what I like to hear in terms of How this project will help fulfill our housing needs um My next question is more mundane. Um Trash travel through the building. I do see you have shoe exactly down to a collection room in one of the parking levels And can you describe am I correct to assume that? Trash collection will be Occurred on curbside on Riley. It'll be taken out of the building. How's that going to occur? This is Rob again We're working with a trash consultant on how we're going to do that but generally Uh, the idea will be to have a collection inside and then When trash occurs and we're not sure if we'll go with one time a week or twice a week It will be collected on Riley and we'll have somebody on staff that make sure that the Containers are on streets out on the right time Will they be bundled or is it going to be loose? um Packages that'll be put out on the street I think it's gonna well, we haven't quite gotten there yet. We're still working with our our You know trash consultant, but I think it's gonna be In closed bins that will then be pulled then be collected by the trash Um kind of related and nearby I see you have a the bicycle Storage room Which is great Can you describe how a cyclist will get in and out of that room? In which way they will go To the street Hey, uh, David, I I'd like you to take that one I think you may be a little bit further along on that than I am so go ahead Certainly. Yes. The bike storage room is located on the northern end of the project And there is a door that leads directly out to that side yard Along the north side of the project So the idea is that cyclists are able to Come in Enter and exit the building without having to Walk through the lobby to get to the bike storage area Would an alternative path to travel be available to go through the garage out the main entrance on to Riley At the moment, we have not provided an alternative secondary access point that way We feel that, you know, the we were sort of focusing all of the Tenant amenities towards the front door and thinking that they could take it out that way Yeah, you might consider that because it's Coming off of Riley through that if I'm reading your Um first floor plan correctly you will have a garage door entering that Parking area from Riley on the north side and it looks like there's no wall separating The garage unless I'm reading your planning correctly I would just ask for consideration of that alternative path for a cyclist with a bike going through tooth to tooth separate doors Turning corners like that is rather awkward The more direct path to travel will make it much more functional So that's really it for me. I think um, you know, again, this is a Very much a very much needed project Tremendous amount of design work's gone into it The comments that were raised by the design review board Uh, we're very minor. They're very supportive Um, it's it is a project that's consistent with the downtown plan Guidelines for the use Um It isn't allowed by right use and I think you've demonstrated Uh, not only Good aesthetic Uh design but also Functionality on the site. I would encourage you to look at how and work with Development engineering services on on a street treatment On riley that could need to get some more vegetation in there Take a look at a Bicycle access to your parking area offer riley through the garage. I think it's more straightforward easier um And then There is one question I have regarding the landscape uh design Adam, um, is it not ordinary that we have a final landscape design approval by staff? As a condition And can we add that I'm sorry the first part of that is it can you repeat the first part? I typically see final landscape design Is reviewed and approved by staff So I would add that condition Uh, we could add that. Yeah, uh, it's obviously so long as the applicant accepts We have some revisions to the plan already So I think it's appropriate that the final we take a look at it Okay, and then um So I'll move forward now to approve the project with the, um Resolutions submitted dated Is it march 23rd adam correct? Yes, and I think we should probably discuss that the The exhibit a and then Yeah, are there changes to the exhibit a at this point or you have submitted it They they've submitted changes. Um, the project engineer with the city is here and so is The deputy director of engineering development services. So that's hazis makigan gave osborne I think I would like them to just verify That any changes, you know to accept any of these changes as provided by the applicants Does um, and that's that's fine. Um Mr. Osborne or have you reviewed the changes the applicants proposing? Good afternoon. Mr. Zoning administrator members of the public gay bosborne deputy director of development services Yes, we have reviewed the proposed changes from the applicant We can work through those. Um, some of them are associated with riley and the landscaping in that area Uh, the others are fairly minor and we can incorporate those changes or work with the applicant on a suitable means to move it forward So exhibit a and the form presented is is acceptable with those changes. Do we need to read this into the record? Um, sorry go ahead Sorry, mr. Ross. Um, as far as engineering is concerned exhibit a is acceptable with those changes I will let mr. Ross determine whether it should be read into the record Uh, so I think we have, um I don't think that any of the changes to the exhibit a uh are Are substantial enough to change any design elements except those that are except the existing conditions from the exhibit a prior to Prior to the applicant providing a response um states that the street trees on riley streets are um one of these that the street trees uh on riley street are subject to the approval of the or whatever that may be or subject to the approval of the uh of the um engineer uh city engineer and What condition or what which provision is that? um Hold on one second. Let me pull up the exhibit a I'm doing the same Mr. Zoning administrator if I may while adam is looking that up Just for a clarification some of the requirements are fire related in the conditions which are pulled directly out of the fire code And I need to make it clear requested changes to those are a little more challenging to incorporate Um, essentially because the discretion is limited due to the fact that their code requirements Um, so most of the engineering specific items where there is a little more discretion We can provide flexibility make it work Um, but there may be some fire code pieces in there that would require a more lengthy discussion with the fire department a review of the Code uh to determine if those can be changed or not Um, and one of the changes presented by the applicant was in that arena associated with width So that would require the fire department's determination to decide whether changes could be made to that or not And as I mentioned, it may not be able to occur because of the the code ramifications Thank you and um So the action we're taking today With the march 23rd exhibit a would Have the fire conditions stand Um and not modified It would be the applicant's Right or Duty to be able to work with that or seek an accommodation from fire who would Be in the position to approve any changes to their conditions As mr. Osborne stated that they may not so Um Let's see and then to follow up that condition speaking of the Of the Riley street side is 53c Which oh, I'm sorry. That's that's not the right one. That is one of them I'm sorry. Give me one second to just verify everything a little bit further Is the language that's been Written involved the changes? No, let me let me share my screen and I'll show all the comments for for the Okay, so I'm just going to scroll down and kind of just show what What they are anything from the applicant has a discussion on the side with changes And uh So this one number six is improvements to Riley street So we have and those those were accepted by um, mr. Osborne is as workable Correct And then so and then here's this one for number 11 Um, which talks about the driveway apron. Here's one that just adds a bit more clarification to it accepted by air And then fire uh conditions coming down here So it would be this one here this portion 53c Which talks about the width of the street Okay, right. Well the applicant Is clearly reviewed and is commented and will work with the fire marshal on those Those are the conditions that stand unless the fire marshal authorizes a modification Um Any modification that would result in a substantial change to the building Uh as it's Um proposed in this plan set may trigger a need for a subsequent design review approval Um, depending on the magnitude of those changes That'll be determined by the Planning director So with that, uh I will approve the project subject to the Resolution findings and conditions of approval including exhibit a That were prepared March 23rd 2021 And with that This project moves forward and I I conclude by saying thank you very much everybody for working So hard to get everything pulled together on what I Promises to be a Great addition to downtown So again, thank you all for attending and this concludes the March 25th Is it the 25th? I can't see A zoning administrator meeting At 6 24 p.m. Thank you again. Bye. Bye. Thank you


Welcome traders to another tick mill chart here with me Patrick Munley, once you draw your attention to a developing opportunity in the Kiwi Dollar in the daily time frame you can see we've got a trend line coming up from the March lows and we're looking for a third test of this trend line now currently around the 7150 handle. Watching for bullish reversal patterns in this area set long positions initially re-targeting the price cycle highs at 74.60 through there we look for the descending trend line resistance 75.30 on route to an ideal 78.30 77.80 area which is the yearly R1 and the equality objective versus the swing low at the 65 handle. As always traders plan the trade, trade the plan and most importantly manage your risk. Until next time, thanks very much.


Hello, and welcome back to the craft box. My name is Brent. I'm drawing with Finn and today Yeah, we're in episode 71 of the was 101 rod 200 series. Hello I did how are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm fantastic a long time. No semo dude That's bullcrap, and you know it. Why would you say that? Like we've recorded like every episodes in 69 what what are you saying? Yeah, what are you on jays? Hello knowledge crystal I have a question Brent. You sure can last episode.  Hello? Yeah, I'm listening to you. I'm listening. I Did I did okay? I'm being a quiet listener. I'm a listener. I'm listening Anyway, I was Just you know hanging out and there was a question that you didn't answer what question did I not answer What is your least favorite series with? Oh, yeah, I thought I answered that. I don't know Let me just look it up The least favorite series Let's see My least favorite was probably factions which has three episodes True, which was like the first thing To be fair, we got raided straight away. Yeah, we did which is never good What was your what was your least favorite? Probably What are we down I had to go and check out I'm playlist to say I Love the sky block series we're doing but the infinity evolved sky block made me angry Did it I didn't enjoy if any of all that's unfortunate Because we were just that we did took forever We only know it's like half. I know but I know it's like half. Yeah, but I thought we there's like a six It's like six hours for 80 episodes usually we can like get in five or six or seven episodes done in like four hours, but that was like It took forever, yeah Literally usually I'm okay with long recording sections and I can handle it But if you don't accomplish anything and it's wasted time. We do accomplish stuff. It's just very slow accomplishment Exactly, I'm not a very patient person. You know this. Yeah, you're not you're very impatient, but I love the sky block series We're doing that's always fun. We need to do more of that What is your favorite series? To be honest picks a one. I really enjoyed picks a while. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I really enjoyed recording that but the the my most favorite series that we kind of Did a lot of episodes on or not even a lot of episodes just continue like actually tried it. There's the sky block series that we Don't know Yeah There you go. That doesn't even have a playlist Okay My most favorite series that we did together or like just in general in I know it'll probably be the solar walk through in general. It would be the musketeer walk through Really? Yeah I don't know. I just have a lot of pride in that because it's I don't know It's like the first time that I've like finished a series so it felt really good, you know, I got pissed off halfway through and But like I enjoyed it. I Even if in the end it sounds like I'm not enjoying and I actually am and I say I mean I also enjoyed the death walk through as well because That's a lot of fun to record because I just miss about for like two hours I mean, yeah, I like the death walk through takes a lot longer to record than the musketeer walk through did But yeah, but then with you it would probably have to be the I mean, I'm gonna say this deleted series Um, there's five series. Yeah That's my third favorite definitely that was really fun to record Mostly because it was just It was just one onto it. It was onto it. We it's basically a pod pod cast. Yeah, essentially Yeah Essentially, I'm sad the people don't get to see it. I know but I got too many right Complaints we'll have to do another one where we don't have copyright can play. Yeah. Well, it's hard when the game music sir Um, yeah, I mean I tried to do that with the civ six series, but I don't know I love civ six. It's great Yeah, just do civ five civ five a better game You haven't played civ six. Have you? That's true, but like I'd prefer civ five no matter what Because it's like literally the only game that I'm really good at Yeah, I mean I'm better at civ six and I am at civ five I'm like insanely good at civ five. Yeah, I'm better at civ six and civ five. I Civ civ six is like quite a learning curve for like a couple hours, but then once you kind of know it, it's It actually is in my opinion a better game That plays a lot better I'm still unbeaten. It's a fight bro.  Yeah, but you're not playing Babylon this time Babylon's band Oh, no one can play Babylon Okay, okay. I can I can respect that I was still one will you know I will I would use the Byzantium's and go with the more religious kind of play stuff.  I was miles away.  No, you just need an asterix bangs desk asterix There you go. That's our third merch.  There's that now Okay, but what happens if people want white won't white?  Yep. That episode still I mean that I think is probably my favorite episode on the channel On the channel. What's your favorite video on the channel? Like out of all the videos. What's your favorite? That is my favorite Probably that but it'd be very close the second would be um would have to be the Show around the the pixel my mansion. Oh episode five The finale Yeah, so just just all the packs from on ones were just us going on adventures and Yeah, it was our first really cut series and I like it Was it cut even though Even though the first episode didn't have any audio from My side did it not No Go rewatch it and you will see there's no audio from on it from my side. Oh my god, that old microphone. Yep. Not watching that I still use the old microphone Brent. Yeah, I mean it just I keep peeking Okay, good job People people are gonna come into your room like what the frick's happening in your room a I know but I just like waited them go Sorry, it's uh, how are you but Finn? Do you know what what playlist has the most videos in it? No I bet you cannot guess at all Oh from ours. Yeah Oh, it's got to be the solo death walk there. How many videos does it have as of today? 218 239 What 239 But we've only got 288, but oh There's also the dungeons. Well, some of them. I should really do the others. Um, and uh, the spell quests Of course And do you want to know what the smallest one is? It's actually it's high But we'll just go the one with you on it Is it factions? Yeah, it is and side quests No, they all got deleted Oh sad rex only bro Where is the I swear there's like half the playlists are shown This is the great episode where you just title it discovery things about our channel Birmingham flame wings makes complete sense. Good job Are they for Birmingham? Yes Can you do a Birmingham accent? No No My only accent is bad Is it says the girl is the lady who is stuck in the crystal? Help me. I can't even do that now at the moment Did we didn't we get mentioned on time? Yeah I got mentioned in the parallel 111 once Look for a video we uploaded a video I uploaded. Yeah What did it get did we get a sudden spiking subscribers? Slightly, yeah Look at us go. Look at that kings. I was really proud that day. I was like, oh my god, it's me and then I got over it Were you surprised? Yeah, I was actually I was actually How did you find out about November last year? How did I find out about it because I read the newsletter every month? Erie's always read the newsletter. Yes always both games even if I don't play pirate one-on-ones at the moment I forgot. I forgot what they what they were saying like what did they say? Why so many defeat quests? Um because it's dragon spire This is actually the last one Of dragon spire Oh here we go. Do you want to do you want to listen to what it said? Yes, the craft box counts down his top 10 spookiest places in pirate one-on-one That was my one week. Is that it? Is that it? Yeah They got a lot of views than that Um 120 Well, it's more than our average to be fair Yeah, I've got the hiccups again. What the heck?  No, I don't do that Do you not? No, that's rude About the FBI man behind you on the other side of your camera. He shouldn't be. He doesn't feel any love. He doesn't feel any love then No, he shouldn't be watching He has a job. He has a family.  The funny thing is the FBI isn't even in New Zealand So you're wrong. No FBI man is watching from everywhere Fake news No, the FBI was in the New Zealand The gcse gcsb Gcse gcse is the um high school testing thing in um the uk Yes, exactly and you're the one saying that you're the smart one I go to university doesn't mean I'm gonna start kid kiddo You're not a smart individual. You know this I'm self-conscious, okay? Yeah, well, maybe you should be smarter I live old yay Are you there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? 50 percent is sometimes not actually fast enough. Have you ever thought of that? We need 60 percent come we need a hundred percent Okay, so next episode we will be going to use the young battle drake and hitting up Actually Yeah, we're gonna do that next time because from wants to go and have food like who needs food these days. I'm so hungry bro So yeah next time we will um go watch the legendary cutscene Um and defeat drake dragon spire defeat malice there finish dragon spire So thank you for watching remember to leave a like and subscribe and if you first subscribe press the little bell To know exactly when I post another video and remember craft outside the box


Good afternoon. So I guess I am between you and lunch. But I'll make sure that I make it value add, as well as talk about application security and how in open source projects, you could take the same playbook, which we are trying to use at Comcast. And one of the responsibilities which I have at Comcast is to drive cloud security. And that's the focus of my talk today. So one question, and I hope the answer is different than Jim's question on Oscars. How many of you have seen any of the movies, How to Train Your Dragon, or read the book? OK, more than three. And how is this relevant to my talk here? So training, this movie is actually a tale about three things. Growing up, maturing, and how is that relevant to us? Maturing with respect to developing our cloud solutions and deploying them securely. Second aspect of this movie is about finding the courage to face the unknowns. And that's about preparing for dealing with security issues in the cloud as we develop and deploy them. And the third part, which is actually a very important part of this movie, which kids really take away from it, is how nothing can ever train us to let go. And that's about governance in the cloud. And when this movie was coming out, I think the third in the sequel and the trilogy so far was released on February 22nd when I was putting together my topic stuff for this presentation. And I thought it was very relevant to the world of cloud security. So what we started, our approach in cloud security was about two years ago. And we started looking at trends. And I think these trends are very relevant from any applications, whether it is in open source or in any proprietary or public cloud implementation. And the first chart which we look here is about total IT infrastructure spends, whether you have the traditional data centers or the public and private cloud. And this year it's forecasted that the public and private cloud spend will overtake the traditional data center spend. And so basically the story here is cloud is important. It's more relevant. Second part about is when you deploy in the cloud, what are the challenges? So when we look at the survey, I think this one is from right scale survey, where they asked what are significant challenges and somewhat of a challenge to the various enterprises. And if you look, security is at the top, along with managing cloud resources, building a private cloud, deploying it. But security was considered as a top challenge. And it continues to be a top concern for everybody deploying in the cloud. The third part is about challenges which is related to maturity. As you begin, security was one of the largest concerns for people who were deploying in the cloud. As you become an intermediate category of maturity, it becomes less, but still not the very end. And then as you become an advanced deployer of cloud technology, it becomes, again, a pretty high concern because of scalability issues, et cetera. So for us, all three, managing cause, security, and compliance, being in the internet service provider industry, it was very important. And we don't want to be in the news for the wrong reasons. So we had to come up with an approach internally. And like all engineers, we took a six pronged approach. You had to have a method to the madness. So we used an industry standard framework. And I'll go over into each of these six prongs in a little bit of detail. But the six prongs are user frameworks to identify where we are and what are the gaps. And we used a NIST framework, which is very appropriate from the world of security. We defined overall reference architecture, which will make everybody in the world whether they are product developers, application developers, or the cloud architecture and deployment teams, the SRE teams, we all have a common language to talk about. And then we take that security framework and architecture and deploy a SOAR, which takes all the events and then orchestrates security actions.  And with this tooling that we developed, we made sure that we are going to work with the development teams to embed it in their CICD pipelines. As we heard in the open source world, there are thousands and thousands of CICD pipelines. And even within Comcast, we have several CICD pipelines. And all of this could not be done and cannot be done without uplifting the skill sets of a traditional cybersecurity organization. We've had a 50-year-old company. We've had a security organization for several years. But with the cloud implementations, with our developers using the cloud, we have to change their mindset. And how do we uplift their skills? So that's our overall approach. And I'm going to go in details with that. So the framework that we used was the NIST framework, which consists of the Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. All of you may be familiar. Some of you may be familiar with this. It's a pretty standard framework. And then we took assessment of where we are. We had a lot of manual processes, which come to hand when we have security incidents or we do our governance in the cloud. And we had started off on an automation journey. So the box on the top talks about the automation that we've done. And the box on the bottom is manual processes. Not everything needs to be automated, but those are the areas where we have. We are a heavy user of AWS. We have OpenStack. We have Cloud Foundry. We have Kubernetes. We have a lot of open source software, which is deployed. We have a lot of public clouds, which are proprietary, which are deployed. So, and we created a backlog of where we want to be in the future. So all the yellow stuff is where we want to be in the future. And we've already started on this journey from last year. And some of the things which you will see around the detect piece, we were using AWS's GuardDuty and then Cloud Checker, CloudTrail, all these eventing mechanisms which will help us detect what the issues are. But we also started using Netflix's SecurityMonkey, which was deployed earlier, but we were not really using it, but we did all our cost and risk analysis. And we said, okay, we're going to use SecurityMonkey moving forward and then feed it into our, the SIM databases, as well as the security orchestration and automation response tools, the source. And we are debating how we do the automatic, automated remediation using the automation that we are doing because it should not break something else. And if you look, the world of security in our organization, we are choosing not to make it constraining very protective method of security, but we are trying to make it more reactive. And when we say reactive, it's not in a negative way. We give the power to our developers and we want them to be able to take, give them the power to do the right, use the services in the public cloud or the private cloud. However, teach them, get them certified on security principles so that they don't make the mistakes. And then we have tooling which will detect any issues as they come forward. So if I move to the next slide, it talks about that architecture. So what we do here is, you have all the event sources I talked about in the previous slide about a cloud checker, a guard duty, cloud watch, all these events are basically going to feed it into a normalizer, a set of principles which will normalize against any misconfigured databases or any issues which could cause security incidents. Then we correlate them to other events which have occurred in the past and then create a reaction which may have notifications or may need some automatic remediations. And we also will create dashboards and this is architecture which we are working towards. We've got some parts of it implemented and we see great promise in this. And all these events as they collect, SIM and SOAR are very standard industry standard terms. SOAR is relatively new. It was created by Gartner a couple of years ago but the first set of three boxes is about events which come out of our cloud implementations. And whether it's Amazon or it's Azure or OpenStack or VMware, you name it and we've got it and we collect them into a SIM repository, correlate them and then we send them to a SOAR system. And the SOAR system today is mostly home-grown automation but we are now going to be using DMSTO which is a capability that we're integrating with and that helps us make our operations more effective, efficient and brings better quality into it. And the SIMs correlated, it tells you what the problem is but the SOAR helps you in the traditional world, SOAR was done mostly manually and now with the automation, you can do it much faster and make it more efficient and we don't want the, with our reactive architecture, when we are finding issues, we don't want the traditional security organization to take their time to react. So with SOAR, you can react much more quickly. So now that we are prepared for, with all the tooling, we need to be preparing for our security events. This is one of the pictures from the how to train your dragon. So since I was talking with that topic, I had to take a picture from there and Dreamworks is a Comcast company so there's that plug for them. So with all the tooling that you may have, with all the automation, with all the guardrails that we may build, that's all technology. You need to have some sort of processes, some interactions between the various parts of the organization which deal with the technology. So the cloud center of excellence, which consists, is the virtual construct, which consists of people from the cloud architecture team, the cloud SRE team, and the security team and the network team. They are the people who actually run the cloud and keep it running securely. Then you have the product teams, the developers who are actually developing our Comcast set of products and they use our infrastructure through, whether it's Amazon or Azure or any of the private cloud implementations that we have, but in case of an incident, that's we all need to come together. We have a product security incidence response team which works with the researchers in the security world. They contact us or through our bug bounty program or through any other research and analysis that they've done. They bring those issues to us, to the cloud center of excellence or to the product teams and then we work together. And then we have a threat intelligence team which needs to work together, which is the security for N6. And of course, AWS or Microsoft or the community when it's open stack. And of course, the first line of support is the security fusion center where we respond at the fastest process. So in all six of these bodies need to work together and that's where we are, where in order to work together, training needs to occur. We've been working with the methodology that we've developed over the years, but especially with the architecture that we are deploying and the automation that we are deploying. If you're not able to use it, we will be still using the same old method of communications, calling and sending emails to the folks when an issue arises. So we wanted to make it much more faster recovery to the issues that we see. So that's where we are prepared for the security incidents. Once we, as I said, we've got the tooling, we've got the process. How do we make sure that our developers are building things right? So we want to embed all the tooling into their CI CD pipelines, become a component of their test gauntlet. So when they're doing the unit development, you'll see that the security scanning is part of the gauntlet and when they're making the final release, again, security scans and assessments are part of the, full security scans are part of the gauntlet. So we're working with the various product teams to ensure that security is part of the developer life cycle. And then, we know that security training is important for our work, cloud training is important for our security workforce. And even in the industry, if you look, that the infrastructure headcount changes with respect to hosting, storage, network, hosting in the cloud, as well as security. Security is pretty much up at the top. So many new people are joining the industry and not all of them are trained to work on security principles. Not all of them are trained to work in the cloud. So we need to uplift the skills of our workforce and that has been a huge focus. And I think whether you're working on, in an industry where you're developing products or you're working in the open source community, it's fairly important to uplift the skills and keep it going. And bringing it back together, that's where we have, we bring it back together with the training of people is the most important and developing the tooling is the building blocks of getting it together. So that's when our character, who's the main character in the movie is caught against trained and ready to take off and deal with the world of security. And that's what I have. Thank you. Thank you.
