San Carlos departures

[arb65912]

Gentlemen, can you help me with interpretation of DP for SQL?

Take off Minimums:

SAN CARLOS, CA
SAN CARLOS (SQL)
AMDT 1 09295 (FAA)
TAKE-OFF MINIMUMS: Rwy 30, NA.
DEPARTURE PROCEDURE: Rwy 12, climbing left turn
via heading 120° and SJC VOR/DME R-281 to SJC
VOR/DME before proceeding on course.

Keith explained to me that when flying IFR, I will most likely get the clearance like :" Fly runway heading until passing the diamond shaped waterway, then turn right heading 120° within 2 miles of the airport for vector to the assigned fix/route, maintain VFR at or below 1,100 until passing the OAK 165° radial, maintain 2,000 feet, and to expect assigned altitude 5 minutes after departure." ( I did get in just like that)

1. Why in the Take off Minimums, Rwy 30 is not applicable?
2. What happen if I have to take off from runway 30 due to the winds?
3. When would DEPARTURE PROCEDURE: Rwy 12 apply and how is that related to Tower hours?
4. Withing the Tower operating hours, I would get VFR or IFR take off instructions, correct?
5. If the Tower is closed , how would I depart?

Below is the link showing DEPARTURE PROCEDURE: Rwy 12

How would I fly it height wise, there is class D PAO and class C SJC?

I just want to understand things, thank you for being patient with me.

Cheers, AJ

That's the ODP that would be used in IMC. If the weather is VMC, they'll issue the instructions that I listed.

What is your specific question about the DP?
