Before substantive hearings, the San José Planning Commission corrected its agenda and approved a staff request to postpone two CP items. Manira Sangir, deputy director of planning, asked the commission to move CP 25‑0001 and CP 25‑0007 to January 28, 2026 so the agenda would reflect the correct hearing date.
Commissioner Vandal moved to postpone the items and Commissioner Kasei seconded; the transcript records the motion passed with nine votes in favor and two absences. Later, Commissioner Vandal moved approval of the consent calendar, seconded by Commissioner Cantrell; the roll call recorded eight yes votes, two absences and one abstention and the motion passed.
City legal staff advised the commission on recusals tied to financial interests. Commissioners who disclosed holdings in Cisco, Google or Apple were asked to leave the dais for votes on those companies’ agreements; staff clarified that passive mutual‑fund holdings generally do not create a conflict requiring recusal when the commissioner lacks control over individual holdings.
The meeting then proceeded to the annual compliance review for seven development agreements; company‑specific items for Cisco, Apple and Google were taken separately with recusals recorded in the meeting record.
The meeting adjourned at 7:19 p.m.
