Title: Approval of a Construction Contract With Casey Construction, Inc. for Sewer Lateral Installation, Repair and Replacement and Wastewater Collection System Rehabilitation in a Total Not-to-Exceed Amount of $2,998,266 for a Three-Year Term Through June 2025
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Utilities Recommendation Staff recommends the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute the attached contract with Casey Construction, Inc. C23183408 (Linked Document) for a three (3) year term with a total not-to-exceed amount of $2,998,266 for Sewer Lateral Replacement and Rehabilitation (WC-99013) Capital Improvement project. Background The City’s Utility Department is responsible for the maintenance, repair, and replacement of lower sewer laterals that extend between the main and City cleanout near the customer’s property line. As part of the Sanitary Sewer Maintenance Program (SSMP), the City’s goal is to inspect and clean 3,300 sewer laterals annually out of the approximate 18,000 City owned sewer laterals. During the inspection process sewer lateral defects are graded on a standardized scale. The City also maintains data on sewer overflows from laterals. This information is used to determine the location of frequent overflows. The data from the inspections and the sewer overflows is used to create a prioritized list of laterals that need to be replaced. Currently there are approximately 188 sewer laterals on the priority 1 list to be replaced to minimize sanitary sewer overflows and reduce annual inspections. Priority 1 laterals are structurally damaged and require replacement or there routinely inspected and serviced. Depending on the severity of the conditions, these laterals are inspected and cleared every 1-3 months to prevent sewer overflows. Under the contract (Linked Document), the contractor will replace approximately 70-80 laterals per year. This volume of work is more than can be accomplished by City crews and is typically performed by contractors. In addition to the lateral work, the contractor can do other types of sewer infrastructure repairs under this contract, if directed by the City.

Discussion Project Description The work to be performed under the contract involves the installation, repair, and replacement of sewer laterals and rehabilitation of various components of the City of Palo Alto's wastewater collection system. The City used a formal solicitation process to establish unit cost pricing for the lateral replacements along with the other infrastructure work that may be needed. The quantity of each bid item was estimated and for bidding purpose only. The total contract amount is based on available budget in the current fiscal year 2022 budget and the projected budgets for future years. Therefore, the total bid price does not represent the total contract amount. The lowest bidder was selected based on the lowest aggregated cost of the estimated quantity for each bid item. The work assigned to the contractor will be limited to the budgeted amount in each contractual period. The final contract amount of $2,475,000 includes $800,000 for the 1st year, $825,000 for the 2nd year, and $850,000 for the 3rd year. The sewer lateral replacement work needs to be performed by the contractor because the project resource requirements are beyond the City’s personnel and equipment capacity. It is critical to replace sewer laterals that are identified with major defects to minimize sanitary sewer overflows and to comply with regulatory requirements. Description of Bid Process and Results On 12/6/2021, the City posted a notice inviting formal bids (IFB) for the Sewer System Replacement, Repair and Install Project on the City’s electronic procurement system, PlanetBids. The bidding period was 36 calendar days. Two (2) contractors submitted bids on January 10, 2022, as listed on the Bid Summary (Attachment A). Bid Summary

City of Palo Alto Page 3
The total base bids were approximately 14% to 16% higher than the Engineer’s Estimate. The pricing is due to a lack of competition in the marketplace caused by a booming construction market in the Bay Area. The work quantities specified in the Invitation for Bids (IFB) for this service contract were for bidding purposes only, and can be changed by the City, as stated in the bid documents. The IFB also states that the total work awarded is limited by the available budget, and that the budget amount is an upper limit on spending, not a commitment to spend a certain amount. Thus, staff recommends Council approve the attached contract for the amount of $2,998,266 over a three-year term. The term of the Agreement will be from the date of its full execution until June 30, 2025 (fiscal years 2022 through 2025). Staff confirmed with the Contractor’s State License Board that Casey Construction, Inc. has an active license on file. Staff checked referenced provided by Casey Construction, Inc. for previous work performed and received positive feedback from other agencies. Casey Construction, Inc. is registered and in good standing with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). In addition, Casey Construction, Inc. has contracted with the City in the past on Utilities Department project and has demonstrated the knowledge and ability needed to perform this work. Resource Impact Funds for FY 2022 work on the first year of this contract are available in the FY 2022 Wastewater Collection Capital Budget under WC-99013, Sewer Lateral/Manhole Rehabilitation and Replacement. Funding for subsequent fiscal years is subject to annual budget approval by Council and contractor’s satisfactory performance. This contract is on the City’s construction contract template, which permits the City to terminate without cause/for convenience by providing written notice to the contractor. In the event the City finds itself facing a challenging budget situation, and it is determined that City resources need to be refocused elsewhere, the City can terminate for convenience. Other options include termination due to non-appropriation of funds or amending the contract to reduce the cost, for example, by reducing the scope of work. The contract may also be temporarily suspended by written notice of the City Manager. Staff is advancing this recommendation as reflected in the City’s adopted budget. Should the City Council wish to defer this project in light of the current pandemic and other priorities related to community and economic recovery, this item may be removed from the Consent Calendar. Staff will then return to Council with this and other projects for reconsideration. Policy Implications The approval of this professional services agreement is consistent with existing City goals, policies and plans including: Utilities Strategic Plan Priority 1: Workforce

Packet Pg. 11
City of Palo Alto Page 4
Strategy 3: Evaluate and consider alternative workforce solutions to achieve organizational business objectives:
Action 2: Determine the potential for projects and/or functions to be effectively outsourced while continuing to meet organizational needs and objectives.
Action 3: Consider developing a hybrid workforce of full-time employees and non-benefitted staff.
Stakeholder Engagement The work under this contract will be performed at various locations of the City. The Contractor will provide two written notifications of the work to all abutting property occupants, one at least 15 days prior to the commencement of work at their specific locations, and a second 24 hours prior to mobilization. Environmental Review This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guideline Sections 15301 (b) repair and maintenance of existing public utility facilities and 15302 (c) replacement or reconstruction of existing utility facilities involving no expansion of capacity.

summarizes progress towards the programs set forth in Comprehensive Plan Implementation
Plan Table2 and the 2015-2023 Housing Element3.
• The Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan APR is submitted to the State Office of Planning
and Research (OPR). The APR summarizes the City’s progress implementing the 410
programs identified in the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan, including the 72 items in the
Housing Element.
• The Housing Element APR is submitted to the State Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD). This APR describes the progress the City made in 2021
implementing the Housing Element programs and provides updated figures on the
City’s compliance with its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
Background: This is the fourth year of annual reporting since the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan
in 2017. The City Council reviewed the last update for 2020 on March 15, 2021 (Staff Report4).
The following section provides the context for the annual reporting.
Comprehensive Plan Implementation Annual Progress Report
The Annual Comprehensive Plan Implementation Report is a State mandated report, required
by Government Code (GC) Section 65400. GC 65400 states that after a legislative body (City
Council) adopts the Comprehensive Plan, an annual review must be submitted to the City
Council, the Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD) Department on the status of the plan’s progress and
implementation.
In addition, the Palo Alto Municipal Code (Section 19.04.0305) requires the Planning and
Transportation Commission (PTC) to annually review the Implementation Plan table of the
Comprehensive Plan. The code states that “the planning commission shall annually review the

plan as the commission may consider necessary in the view of any change in conditions.”
Planning and Transportation Commission Review
On February 23, 2022, the PTC held a public hearing and discussed the two Annual Progress
Reports. The minutes for the meeting are available online6. The PTC did not make any
recommendations for changes to the existing programs or prioritization. The PTC unanimously
recommended that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and Housing Element APRs be forwarded to
the City Council for authorization to submit to the appropriate state agencies before April 1,
2022.
2015-2023 Housing Element and the Annual Progress Report
The HCD Department requires an annual report addressing the City’s progress implementing
the Housing Element. The report includes data on housing production and accomplishments
toward the City’s RHNA goals. The City adopted its current Housing Element7 for the period of
2015-2023. The HCD mandates that the APR for the Housing Element focus on three topics:
1. Total number of net housing units produced or “permitted” by the City in a calendar
year
2. Status on jurisdiction’s progress in addressing its Regional Housing Needs Allocation
(RHNA)
3. Status of the implementation of the 2015-2023 Housing Element’s programs and goals
The previous Annual Progress Report for 2020 for this current Housing Element cycle can be
found here8.
Discussion: This section provides an overview of the Comprehensive Plan APR and the Housing Element
APR and provides high-level summaries of the related data. See Attachments A, B, and C for
individual Comprehensive Plan and Housing Element program details and the City’s compliance
with its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) needs in 2021.

The Implementation Plan Table9 of the Comprehensive Plan identified 410 programs the City
wants to undertake to help achieve the goals in the Comprehensive Plan, to the extent that
resources are available. These programs are attributed to approximately 15 different lead
agencies or departments. The programs in the Implementation Table describe and prioritize
actions to implement various aspects of the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. Some
programs are budgeted and ongoing, while the implementation of other programs will require
identification of resources during future budget cycles.
Since the Comprehensive Plan was adopted in late 2017, the implementation of most of the
programs remains in “Ongoing” status (67%). Table 1 below provides the year-end status for all
the programs in 2021.

It should be noted that some programs when “complete” are 100% concluded and no further
action is required. When some programs move from a “complete” status to “on-going” that
means the initial work effort to set the program tasks up has been completed (moving the
program out of “pending” status), and the focus shifts to ongoing monitoring or other similar
work effort.
In 2021, seven programs changed status from previous year, with the majority of the programs
moving from Complete to Ongoing status. This has led to an increase in the number of
“ongoing” programs this year. There were no changes in status for the rest of the 403
programs. Table 2 below provides the list of programs that went through status change in 2021.

Annual Progress Report and Regional Housing Needs Allocation
The State requires the APR to describe the City’s progress in meeting its share of RHNA and
efforts to preserve, rehabilitate, or produce housing. As part of the RHNA process overseen by
the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), the City of Palo Alto was assigned a
quantified goal of 1,988 units. This number represents the City’s “fair share” of projected
4
Packet Pg. 21
City of Palo Alto Page 7
housing need over the 5th Cycle 2015-2023 planning period. The projected need is distributed
among the following income groups: extremely low and very low (691 units), low (432 units),
moderate (278 units), and above moderate (587 units) income.
In 2021, Palo Alto made progress toward its RHNA requirement by adding 117 very low-income
and 120 above moderate (market rate) units; see Attachment C for the 2021 APR details. Table
4 shows the RHNA breakdown by income group. Please note that the 117 very low-income
units are the Buena Vista Mobile Home Park units. Although the acquisition of the mobile home
park occurred in 2017, at that time, the State did not allow the City to count the deed-restricted
mobile home units towards its RHNA. However, recent legislation changed the reporting
requirements allowing the City to count these units.

Table 5 below provides a summary of the City’s progress in meeting its RHNA through 2021. The
numbers are based on building permits issued as required by HCD. The City is more than 87%
complete in its current housing planning cycle and of note has produced 108% of its Above
Moderate Income RHNA goal. By making sufficient progress towards the City's Above Moderate
RHNA, the City retains more authority over the review process for housing development
projects. Per SB 35 requirements, a proposed development in the City requires a 50%
affordability component to be eligible for the streamlined ministerial approval process. If the
City was not on track with its Above Moderate RHNA, the required affordability threshold drops
to 10% to qualify for the SB 35 streamlined review process.

Housing Goals, Policies, and Programs Implementation
The Housing Element contains 72 adopted programs the City will need to implement during the
Housing Element period ending in 2023. Of the 72 programs listed in the Housing Element:
• 35 are ongoing programs (effectively completed)
• 21 have been completed
• 11 are underway
• five programs have not yet been completed
Currently, staff remain focused on the 6th Cycle Housing Element update, no additional
programs were implemented. Therefore, these numbers have not changed since last year. Its
also notable that additional housing related policy initiatives have been undertaken that are not
necessarily in the Housing Element (for example tenant protections). These additional projects
and programs are not accounted for.
Of the 72 adopted programs, 56 (79%) are considered complete (for example, established on-
going programs and completed programs). A summary table of each housing program is
included as Attachment B. The City is 87.5% of the way through the current Housing Element
cycle and is keeping pace with completing the Housing programs by 2023. Most of the
remaining programs not completed (i.e., partially completed or not completed) are addressed
in the Housing Work Program. Table 6 below shows which programs are ongoing, completed,
partially completed, and not completed.

Guide to Review the Comprehensive Plan Implementation Table
The programs of the Implementation Table has the following fields:
Lead Department or AgencyThe City Department that would have primary responsibility for tracking and completing the program.
Priority of Program/TimingThe City Council prioritized the timing of program implementation at the time of Comprehensive Plan adoption in 2017. The prioritization guided the allocation of resources to implement the plan. The following five categories, which appear in Attachment A, reflect the level of priority for program accomplishment:S: “Short-term” – programs planned for implementation within the first five years after Comprehensive Plan adoptionM: “Medium-term” – typically means programs that would be implemented or completed roughly within five to ten years after Comprehensive Plan adoption
L: “Long-term” – programs that would be implemented or completed more than ten years after Comprehensive Plan adoptionIP: “In progress” – programs that were already underway to complete a specific, definedwork effort at the time of the Comprehensive Plan’s adoption, andR: “Routine” activities that are part of the normal course of business for staff.
Level of EffortThe level of effort indicated in Attachment A reflects the magnitude of cost in terms of staff and monetary resources required to implement the program. While the dollar sign ($) is used to reflect the cost, the exact associated financial cost for the project/program is difficult to determine since it varies over time and depends on the scope of work. Attachment A reflects the following measures for level of effort: “$” low level effort and cost; “$$” moderate level effort and cost; and “$$$” significant level of commitment and cost to complete the program.
2021 StatusThe progress towards each of the 410 programs is identified in the “2021 Status” column in Attachment A. The key for the different statuses is as follows: C = Complete, PC = Partially Complete, O = Ongoing, and P = Pending.

Title: Accept the Stanford University Medical Center (SUMC) Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 and Find the SUMC Parties in Compliance With the Development Agreement
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Planning and Development Services
Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Review the Stanford University Medical Center (SUMC) Annual Reports for Fiscal Year 2020-2021, and find that Stanford Hospitals & Clinics, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, and Stanford University (SUMC Parties) have complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of the Development Agreement;
2. Find that the SUMC Parties are not in default with the terms and conditions of the Agreement; and
3. Accept the City of Palo Alto’s (City) Annual Report Supplements regarding the funds received from the SUMC Parties, as required under Section 12(d) of the Development Agreement (Attachment C).
Executive Summary The City Council is required to review the SUMC Development Agreement (the “Agreement”) to ascertain compliance with the terms of the Agreement. The Agreement is between Stanford Hospital and Clinics, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, Stanford University (SUMC Parties), and the City of Palo Alto. The SUMC Parties submitted an Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 that summarizes the construction activities and other actions taken to fulfill the Agreement obligations. The SUMC Parties have paid approximately $44.3 million in public benefit fees to the City since June 6, 2011 through the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 reporting period. City Council reviewed and approved use of the funds contributed by SUMC for a wide variety of capital projects.

City of Palo Alto Page 2
Background On June 6, 2011, the Council approved Comprehensive Plan amendments, zoning changes, a conditional use permit, annexation, and design applications for the Stanford University Medical Center Facilities Renewal and Replacement Project (the “Projects”). The Projects include the construction of a new Stanford Hospital and clinics buildings, an expansion of the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH), construction of new School of Medicine (SOM) buildings, renovation of the existing Hoover Pavilion, construction of a new medical office building and parking garage at Hoover Pavilion, roadway improvements along Welch Road and Durand Way, and SUMC design guidelines. A Development Agreement (the “Agreement”) vesting these approvals was deemed effective on June 6, 2011 and continues for thirty (30) years from the effective date. This report covers activities by the SUMC Parties for Fiscal Year 2020 - 2021, which is the tenth year of the Agreement. The last annual report prepared was for Fiscal Years 2017-2018, 2018-2019, and 2019-2020.1 Previous annual reports and compliance documentation can be found via the weblinks in Attachment D. The Agreement specifies that the City annually review the parties’ compliance.
Discussion Development Agreement Section 12, “Periodic Review of Compliance,” requires City Council to ascertain SUMC Parties’ compliance with the terms of the Agreement. The discussion items below are intended to guide City Council through the many aspects that SUMC and City staff monitor and track throughout the year to ensure compliance. The SUMC Annual Reports for FY 2020-2021 (Attachment A) describes the activities related to Agreement implementation and ongoing annual progress toward meeting the following obligations in Section 5 of the Agreement, “SUMC Parties’ Promises:”
• Health Care Benefits;
• Fiscal Benefits;
• Traffic Mitigation and Reduced Vehicle Trips;
• Linkages (Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Transit);
• Infrastructure, Sustainable Neighborhoods & Communities, Affordable Housing; and
• Climate Change. Staff prepared a summary of the Section 5 obligations and the staff-confirmed compliance status (Attachment B).

Development Agreement Section 12 also includes the requirement for demonstration of good faith compliance with the Agreement. Toward this end, SUMC has timely submitted all the reports required of the SUMC Parties for Fiscal Year 2020-2021. In this timeframe, City staff and SUMC have also:
• Processed applications that represent the next phase of SUMC development, including remodeling of Nursing Pod D;
• Rapidly processed SUMC applications pertaining to COVID-19 pandemic response; and
• Maintained all records necessary to complete the City’s annual review. Construction Activities and Net New Square Footage Detailed information on SUMC construction activities for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 can be found in the SUMC Annual Report (Attachment A). To summarize construction activities during this year:
• In Fiscal Year 2020-2021, the School of Medicine (SOM) Biomedical Innovation Building (BMI) received final certificate of occupancy in Spring 2021. Note that BMI received a temporary certificate of occupancy during Fiscal Year 2019-2020, but could not be tracked that year, pending receipt of final occupancy.
Overall, at the Main SUMC site, SUMC is entitled to construct and use up to 3,534,090 total square feet of hospital/clinic and research buildings, as well as associated facilities and infrastructure improvements, including up to 1,265,272 net new square feet. Overall, at the Hoover Pavilion site, SUMC is entitled to construct and use up to 153,343 total square feet of medical office/clinic buildings, as well as associated facilities, including up to 46,169 net new square feet of medical/office buildings. A total of approximately 133,731 square feet of floor area was previously demolished at the Stanford Hospital, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH), and Hoover Pavilion sites. Net new floor area across the SUMC sites reported in previous Fiscal Years include the following:
• The new Neuroscience Health Center at the Hoover Pavilion site represents 91,605 new square feet.
• Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH) Expansion added 446,088 new square feet.
• The New Stanford Hospital (NSH) garage added 29,744 new square feet. The NSH project added 689,522 new square feet. These two new buildings therefore represent 719,266 new square feet for NSH.
In Fiscal Year 2020-2021, the School of Medicine (SOM) Biomedical Innovation Building (BMI) added 196,921 square feet. With the occupancy of this new floor area, SUMC removed occupancy of some portions of the 1959 Stone Complex in Fiscal Year 2020-2021 in order to prevent exceedance of the total occupied square footage allowed in their entitlements. While not triggered in the current Fiscal Year monitoring period, there are provisions in the SUMC
5
Packet Pg. 138
City of Palo Alto Page 4
entitlements to have a three-year time period (or up to five years with Planning Director approval) whereby SUMC is allowed to exceed the total occupied existing and net new building square footage. This provision is important for ensuring that SUMC can maintain existing operations while also efficiently transfer new uses, equipment, and operations over to the new facilities. City staff reviewed the information in the SUMC Annual Reports regarding construction activities and net new square footage. Staff determined that they are complete and correct. Traffic Mitigation and Reduced Vehicle Trips The SUMC Parties had made substantial progress in meeting the traffic and alternative transportation obligations of the Agreement. Specifically, they accomplished the following:
• Annually purchasing Caltrain Go Passes for all eligible employees as of January 1, 2012, which was three years ahead of the September 1, 2015 requirement in the Agreement.
• Purchasing shuttle buses for the Marguerite Shuttle service, as well as ongoing annual payments to cover the net increase in operating costs for the Marguerite Shuttle service.
• Providing annual payment to AC Transit to maintain a load factor of less than 1.0 on the U-Line.
• Hiring and maintaining a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) coordinator position since March 13, 2012, three years ahead of the September 1, 2015 requirement as stated in the Agreement, and subsequently elevating the position to a TDM Program Manager position.
SUMC achieved their 2021 alternative mode share milestone target of 33% for employee trips early and every year between 2013 and 2019. The alternative mode share rate was 38.1% in FY 2018 and 33.8% in FY 2019. The SUMC Parties maintained all TDM requirements in FY 2020 until Santa Clara County issued COVID-19 pandemic shelter-in-place orders in March 2020. On March 27, 2020, the City conditionally approved a one-year delay in the submittal of two reports; the FY 2020 Alternative Mode Share Report and Mitigation Measure TR 2.3 Enhanced Stanford University Transportation Demand Management Program (TDM) report. Conditional approval of this delay was consistent with the procedures in Section 6(p) of the Stanford University Medical Center (SUMC) Development Agreement and no additional environmental review was required. The reasons for the conditional approval included:
1. The SUMC Parties attained mode share targets in past reporting years. 2. Stanford collects key performance information for the SUMC Alternative Mode Share
Report via a survey regularly administered in the April/May timeframe. Staff anticipated the survey responses in April/May 2020 would not reflect normal SUMC staff operations due to the shelter-in-place directives, hospital surge efforts, and other atypical commute and working parameters associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
5
Packet Pg. 139
City of Palo Alto Page 5
3. The FY 2019-2020 reporting year was not a milestone target year identified in the SUMC Development Agreement Section 5(c)(ix).
In Fiscal Year 2020-2021, the SUMC parties found that the alternative mode share milestone target of 33% outlined in SUMC DA Section 5(c)(ix) was not met for 2021, nor was it above the previous 2018 milestone target of 30%. The alternative mode share rate for SUMC decreased to 28.8% between use of alternative modes versus driving alone, largely due to ongoing pandemic conditions. SUMC is in the process of analyzing which alternative modes were most significantly reduced during the pandemic and identifying potential Transportation Demand Management (TDM) enhancements to their existing TDM program that might recover their previous high use of alternative transportation modes. The City is awaiting a brief memo from SUMC that outlines this analysis, the identified current challenges to meeting the alternative mode share milestone targets, and future actions that will be undertaken in Fiscal Year 2021-2022. Learning the forthcoming alternative mode share rate for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 will be important. If the 2022 alternative mode share rate is less than the target 33% rate, then SUMC DA Section 5(c)(ix) calls for SUMC to provide a $175,000 payment to the City for alternative transportation funding. The City would need to use the payment to support local projects and programs that encourage use of alternative transportation modes or otherwise reduce peak period traffic trips in the intersections impacted by the project. Construction Sales and Use Tax Monitoring Report SUMC submitted the annual Construction Sales & Use Tax Monitoring Report on June 30, 2021. The City sent its required response. Based upon the City’s review of the annual Construction Sales and Use Tax Monitoring Report, revenues for calendar years 2011 through 2020 have totaled $5,335,541. This annual reporting assists in the process of ensuring that the City would receive no less than $8.1M in construction sales and use tax revenue by December 31, 2025. Supplement to the Annual Report Section 12 requires the City to prepare a Supplement to the Annual Report. The Supplement is to include an accounting of the funds received from the SUMC Parties to satisfy the obligations outlined in Section 5 of the Agreement, a description of the account balances, and a summary and description of expenditures from the funds for each Fiscal Year (Attachment C). Section 12 of the Agreement mentions preparation of the Supplement within 45-days of the June and July receipt of the annual reports by SUMC, but there is no penalty for not doing so; after the close of the Fiscal Year, the City conducts an annual audit of the funds in Fall/Winter in order to demonstrate good faith in implementing the Agreement. The SUMC Parties have already paid the City approximately $44.3 million in public benefit fees since June 6, 2011 through the FY 2020-2021 reporting period. This sum includes the
5
Packet Pg. 140
City of Palo Alto Page 6
approximately $11.7 million third and final payment by SUMC during the FY 2017-2018 reporting period. Regarding fund usage during the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 reporting period, the City authorized transfers for the following:
• $1,150,000 under “Expansion Cost Mitigation” for Rail Grade Separation (PL-17001), University Avenue Streetscape Upgrade (PE-21004), and Building Systems Improvements (PF-01003).
• $800,000 under “Infrastructure, Sustainable Neighborhoods and Communities, and Affordable Housing” for New Public Safety Building (PE-15001)
The Infrastructure, Sustainable Neighborhoods and Communities, and Affordable Housing Fund contained an original contribution of $1,720,488 for support of affordable housing. SUMC funding supported the Stevenson House project in FY 2013 and the remaining affordable housing funds were fully exhausted in FY 2020 to support the Wilton Court Housing Project. Future Use of Development Agreement Funds The funds received by the City as a result of the SUMC Development Agreement represent funding for Operations and a significant portion of funding for implementation of the City’s Capital Infrastructure Plan.

In accordance with SUMC Development Agreement Section 5(a)(iii), City staff is in the process of setting up a meeting with the SUMC Parties to establish a joint committee to evaluate proposals regarding specific programs to receive funding from the Community Health and Safety Programs Fund for Fiscal Year 2021-2022. The fund is to be used for selected community health programs that benefit residents of the City. The joint committee may choose to
5
Packet Pg. 141
City of Palo Alto Page 7
coordinate its efforts with the City's Human Relations Commission, and the City's representatives on the committee may be members of the Human Relations Commission. The joint committee shall make annual recommendations to the City Council regarding proposed disbursements from the Community Health and Safety Program Fund, and the City Council shall use its reasonable discretion to decide whether to accept, reject or modify the joint committee recommendations.
Resource Impact There are no impacts to the City’s budget resulting from this review of the SUMC Annual Reports for Fiscal Year 2020-2021. As stated above, the SUMC Parties have already paid approximately $44.3 million in public benefit fees to the City since June 6, 2011 through the FY 2020 reporting period. Future fund contributions are not anticipated.
Stakeholder Engagement Community members and policy makers were extensively involved in the crafting of the SUMC Development Agreement and all other associated project enabling entitlements. Also, subsequent related project entitlements continue to be processed through the City’s standard review processes, as discussed in the Development Agreement and other entitlements. For example, the proposed Nursing Pod Extension project Major Architectural Review application at 300 Pasteur Drive recently went for review before the Architectural Review Board.2
Policy Implications This report does not represent any changes to existing City policies.
Environmental Review Finding the SUMC Parties in compliance with the Terms of the Agreement is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act and no environmental assessment is required for the annual compliance review. An environmental impact report for the entire SUMC project was prepared and certified by the City Council prior to approval of the Agreement. Attachments:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On June 6, 2011, the Stanford University Medical Center parties (now Stanford Medicine)—comprised of Stanford Hospital and Clinics (now Stanford Health Care), Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, and Stanford University—entered into a Development Agreement with the City of Palo Alto, committing to provide a range of community benefits in exchange for vested development rights to develop and use the Stanford Medicine Renewal and Replacement Project (“Renewal Project”) facilities in accordance with the approvals granted by the City, and a streamlined process for obtaining subsequent project approvals. The Renewal Project—driven by a growing demand for healthcare services, state-mandated seismic safety requirements, and the need to replace outmoded facilities with modern, technologically advanced spaces—is transforming the way that healthcare is delivered and research is conducted.
Today, ten years after the execution of the Development Agreement, the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Expansion and the new Stanford Hospital are now open for patient care, and the School of Medicine has completed the first phase of development of its replacement facilities, with its BioMedical Innovations building now open for research. Interior renovations within the 1989 potion of the preexisting Stanford Hospital facility have now commenced, and are expected to continue for the next several years, bringing the facility up to modern healthcare standards.
Against this backdrop, Stanford Medicine submits its Annual Report in compliance with Section 12(c) of the Development Agreement, and looks forward to continued collaboration with the City of Palo Alto in advancing the goals of both Stanford Medicine and the broader community.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
The Palo Alto City Council’s unanimous approval of the entitlements for the Stanford Medicine Renewal and Replacement Project in July 2011 has paved the way for a historic investment in new and replacement facilities for Stanford Medicine. The project approvals—including new zoning for the Renewal Project sites, a conditional use permit, architectural review approval, and the execution of a Development Agreement—allow for the construction of approximately 1.3 million net new square feet of hospital facilities, clinics, medical offices, and medical research spaces, is enabling the Hospitals to optimize the delivery of healthcare services to patients, and maintain their position as leading providers of world-class healthcare.
In order to facilitate this important replacement and expansion work, the Stanford Medicine parties entered into a Development Agreement with the City of Palo Alto, which includes a comprehensive package of community benefits and additional development conditions. In exchange for these benefits, the City has vested for a period of 30 years Stanford Medicine’s rights to develop and use the property in accordance with the project approvals, and agreed to streamline the process for obtaining subsequent approvals.
The terms of the Development Agreement (Section 12(c)) provide for a periodic review of compliance, and require that Stanford Medicine submit an Annual Report to the City of Palo Alto’s Director of Planning and Community Environment each year within 30 days of the anniversary of the agreement effective date (June 6, 2011). The Annual Report is to summarize Stanford Medicine’s progress on the Renewal Project, including a list of net new square footage for which a certificate of occupancy has been received, and a description of the steps that Stanford Medicine has taken to comply with the obligations listed in Section 5 of the Development Agreement. With this report, Stanford Medicine fulfills these requirements. Within 45 days of receipt of this Annual Report, the City will prepare a Supplement to the Annual Report, to provide an accounting of the City’s balances and expenditures from each of the City Funds and how they were used.

2020-2021 SUMMARY OF PROGRESS
The Renewal Project has reached key milestones in recent years, with the opening of the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital expansion in 2017 and the opening of the New Stanford Hospital in 2019, and most recently the opening of the School of Medicine’s BioMedical Innovations building in 20201 . While the COVID-19 pandemic changed the pace of progress on the Renewal Project, as Stanford Medicine focused resources on pandemic response, including launching clinical trials for therapeutic treatments for COVID-19 and establishing community testing and vaccination sites, it has also highlighted the importance of modern, state-of-the-art facilities to support Stanford Medicine’s research and patient care.
The section to follow provides an overview of central goals for the project elements that presently are under construction or nearing construction, a synopsis of progress to date, as well as a preview of near-term upcoming activities.
LUCILE PACKARD CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
In response to growing community needs for specialized pediatric and obstetric care, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital opened an expanded facility in late 2017. The new Main building, located adjacent to the preexisting Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (West building), provides patients and doctors with the most modern clinical advancements and technology, while also creating a more patient- and family-centered environment of care, with additional single-patient rooms and more spaces for families to be with their child during treatment and recovery.
The LPCH Main building features a new entrance lobby, public concourse with dining, three floors of nursing units, and new patient rooms. Spaces have been designed with an attention to natural light and views, and the exterior grounds—more than 3.5 acres of outdoor areas and gardens—provide a park-like setting for patients, families, and visitors.
1 Temporary certificate of occupancy was issued in 2020; final certificate of occupancy was issued in 2021.

In December 2017, the new facility received its license from the State Department of Public Health; this constituted issuance of an occupancy permit for purposes of the Development Agreement. In Winter 2019, additional shelled spaces within the Main building were completed and opened to patient care, including the Bass Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Diseases on the 5th floor, and the Betty Irene Moore Children’s Outpatient Heart Center on the 1st floor.
STANFORD HEALTH CARE
Stanford Health Care is constructing new and replacement hospital facilities to usher in a new era of advanced patient care. Growth in patient volumes and rapidly changing medical technology have rendered much of the existing midcentury hospital infrastructure inadequate, while new seismic safety requirements have accelerated the need to construct replacement facilities.
In November 2019, Stanford Health Care’s first phase of facilities renewal completed as the New Stanford Hospital received its license from the State Department of Public Health and opened to patient care. With the new Stanford Hospital now complete, Stanford Health Care has begun a series of renovations within its preexisting facilities, including the conversion of shared patient rooms into private rooms within the 1989 portion of the Hospital; this renovation work is planned to proceed in phases over the next several years. In addition, to continue to maintain its current 600-bed count upon conversion of existing shared patient rooms to private rooms, Stanford Health Care is proposing an addition to the preexisting Hospital of approximately 38,000 square feet. This proposed addition was brought before the Architectural Review Board for preliminary feedback in April 2021, and Stanford Health Care anticipates submitting a Major Architectural Review application for this scope in Summer 2021.

SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
The Stanford University School of Medicine is replacing its outmoded research buildings with new state-of-the-art facilities designed to support contemporary translational research. The new facilities will accommodate 21st century medical advancements and enable the development of new medical innovations, featuring integrated laboratory suites, with easier access between labs and support facilities, enabling transparency, flexibility, and collaboration.
The first phase of School of Medicine development (BioMedical Innovations Building 1, or “BMI-1”) is now complete, having received a certificate of occupancy in Spring 2021, and features four above-grade floors of research labs and light-filled gathering places, and a lower basement level for utility support, as well as a connective tunnel to other nearby research facilities. Building interiors were designed for best practices for laboratory design safety and space allocation, with a flexible template to maximize efficient use of space and ease of renovation. The four above-grade floors provide space for a mix of disciplines, basic and clinical research, wet and dry labs, and leading-edge translational studies.

COMPLIANCE WITH DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT OBLIGATIONS
This section of the Annual Report summarizes the steps that Stanford Medicine has taken to comply with its obligations under Section 5 of the Development Agreement.
HEALTH CARE BENEFITS
In addition to the health care funds listed below, Stanford Medicine provides certain intrinsic benefits to the community, as both a global leader in medical care and research, and as a community healthcare services provider. The Renewal Project enables Stanford Medicine to continue its important work, and the addition of more beds for adults and children will help to alleviate overcrowding. Additionally, the new hospital facilities provide critical emergency preparedness and response resources for the community in the event of an earthquake, pandemic, or other major disaster.
Section 5(a)(ii). Fund for Healthcare ServicesThe Hospitals have designated the amount of $3 million for Healthcare Services, which will increase to $5.6 million by December 31, 2025. No further action is required until 2026. This amount will be reconciled with the construction use tax payments as described in Development Agreement Section 5(b)(ii)(C), and will be spent between 2026 and 2036.
Section 5(a)(iii). Fund for Community Health and Safety ProgramsStanford Medicine has contributed a single lump-sum payment of $4 million to establish a Community Health and Safety Program Fund for the City of Palo Alto. This fund is to be distributed to selected community health programs that benefit residents of the City, including the Project Safety Net Program, a community-based mental health plan for youth well-being in Palo Alto. A joint committee is to be established to evaluate proposals regarding the other specific programs to receive funding, composed of two representatives selected by Stanford Medicine and two representatives selected by the City; this committee shall make annual recommendations to the City Council regarding proposed disbursements from the Community Health and Safety Program Fund, and the City Council shall use its reasonable discretion to decide whether to accept, reject, or modify the joint committee recommendations.
Stanford Medicine provided the entire required contribution to the Community Health and Safety Program Fund on August 25, 2011. No further action is required by Stanford Medicine to comply with this Development Agreement provision, though Stanford Medicine welcomes the opportunity to participate in the joint committee to evaluate proposals for programs to receive funding. As required by Development Agreement Section 12(d), the City will provide yearly Supplements to the Annual Report to provide an accounting of the City's expenditures from this fund, and the purposes for which the expenditures were used.
PALO ALTO FISCAL BENEFITS
The Stanford Medicine Renewal Project brings considerable fiscal benefits to the City of Palo Alto. The project is expected to generate $8.1 million in sales and use tax revenues for the City, and multiple mechanisms have been put into place to ensure that this target is met. The Development Agreement also provides for further fiscal benefits to the City, including a payment by Stanford Medicine to fund the City’s operating deficit, and the payment of utility user taxes and school fees.

Sections 5(b)(i) and 5(b)(ii). Payment of Sales and Use TaxesAs required by the Development Agreement, Stanford Medicine submitted its annual Construction Sales and Use Tax monitoring report to the City on June 30, 2021. The Stanford Medicine parties will continue to submit such a report annually during the construction period for the Renewal Project so that the City can determine the share of construction use taxes that it has received as a result of the Renewal Project. Each year, within 60 days of receiving the monitoring report, the City will provide its determination of the amount of construction use taxes that it has received as a result of the Renewal Project during the preceding calendar year. In August 2026 or soon thereafter, Stanford Medicine and the City will conduct a reconciliation process to confirm that the City has received at least $8.1 million in construction use taxes as a result of the Renewal Project, as further described in Development Agreement Section 5(b)(ii).
To date, Stanford Medicine has taken the following steps detailed below to maximize the City's allocation of sales and use taxes associated with Project construction and operation. Documentation of each of these items is included in the 2020 construction use tax monitoring report already submitted. Note that in 2020, as identified in the construction use tax monitoring report, Stanford Medicine did not have active construction projects which qualified for participation in the program, and instead reported only self-accruals associated with owner purchases; however, in 2021, with the commencement of Stanford Health Care’s interior renovations at the preexisting Hospital, contractor participation in the program has resumed and will be reflected in the next annual monitoring report.
• Stanford Medicine has obtained all permits and licenses necessary to maximize the City’s allocation of construction use taxes derived from the project, including California Seller’s Permits and Use Tax Direct Pay Permits.
• Stanford Medicine has designated and required all contractors and subcontractors to designate the project site as the place of sale of all fixtures furnished or installed as part of the project.
• Stanford Medicine has designated and required all contractors and subcontractors to designate the project site as the place of use of all materials used in the construction of the project.
• Stanford Medicine has required all contractors and subcontractors to allocate the local sales and use taxes derived from their contracts directly to the City. Stanford Medicine has used best efforts to require contractors and subcontractors to complete and file any forms required by the State Board of Equalization to effect these designations.
• Both Hospitals have obtained use tax direct pay permits from the State of California for their existing facilities in order to increase the City tax allocation for the Hospitals’ purchases. The Hospitals will maintain the use tax direct pay permit for the life of the project.
• Finally, Stanford Medicine has assisted the City in establishing and administering a Retail Sales and Use Tax Reporting District for the Renewal Project, to enable the City to track the generation, allocation, reporting and payment of sales and use taxes derived from the Project.
Section 5(b)(iii). Funding of Operating DeficitIn order to assure that City costs associated with the Renewal Project do not exceed revenues to the City resulting from construction and operation of the project, Stanford Medicine has provided to the City a single lump sum payment in the amount of $2,417,000. This payment was made on August 25, 2011. No further action is required by Stanford Medicine to comply with this Development Agreement provision.

Section 5(b)(iv). Payment of Utility User TaxStanford Medicine will pay the City a utility user tax at a minimum rate of 5 percent of all electricity, gas, and water charges allocable to new construction completed as part of the project for the life of the project. This rate may be increased by the City as provided by Section 2.35.100(b) of the Municipal Code. The 5 percent utility user tax is currently being paid by Stanford Medicine.
Section 5(b)(v). School FeesStanford Medicine will pay to the City—which is then to forward to the Palo Alto Unified School District—school fees upon issuance of each building permit from the City or OSHPD, in the amount that is generally applicable to non-residential development at the time of payment based upon net new square footage, as defined in the Development Agreement.
School fees were paid in 2012 for LPCH and SHC in the amounts of $188,815 and $153,802, respectively. In July 2013, additional school fees were paid in the amount of $7,051 to account for additional program square footage for the New Stanford Hospital and Garage. In May 2014, an additional payment of school fees in the amount of $16,119 was made to account for the incremental square footage associated with the Hoover Medical Office Building, beyond the 60,000 square feet originally planned. In November 2015, additional school fees in the amount of $461.16 were paid to account for incremental square footage for the New Stanford Hospital Garage.
TRAFFIC MITIGATION AND REDUCED VEHICLE TRIPS
Stanford Medicine has taken a number of steps to mitigate the potential traffic impacts projected at full project buildout. Stanford Medicine provides a robust transportation demand management program, offering a variety of incentives for employees to forego driving alone to work. As required by the Development Agreement, Stanford Medicine has taken the additional actions outlined below.
Section 5(c)(ii). Menlo Park Traffic MitigationStanford Medicine agreed to contribute to the City of Menlo Park a total of $3,699,000 for use in connection with traffic mitigation, infrastructure enhancements, and the promotion of sustainable neighborhoods and communities and affordable housing. This contribution has been made in three equal payments; the first payment of $1,233,000 was made on August 19, 2011. The second payment of $1,233,000 was made on December 5, 2012, following the November 2012 issuance of the first Hospital foundation permit. The final payment in the amount of $1,233,000 was made on December 14, 2017, within 30 days from issuance of the first Hospital occupancy permit. No further action is required by Stanford Medicine to comply with this Development Agreement provision.
Section 5(c)(iii). East Palo Alto Voluntary MitigationStanford Medicine has contributed a single lump sum payment of $200,000 to East Palo Alto to be used for roadway and traffic signal improvements on University Avenue. This payment was made on August 19, 2011. No further action is required by Stanford Medicine to comply with this Development Agreement provision. In the event that Stanford Medicine does not meet alternative transportation mode goals specified in the Development Agreement by 2025 and is assessed a $4 million payment under Development Agreement section 5(c)(ix)(B), the City will be required to remit $150,000 of such payment to the City of East Palo Alto.

Section 5(c)(iv). Contributions to AC TransitThe Hospitals committed to the following actions within 30 days from issuance of the first Hospital occupancy permit, and have fulfilled these commitments as outlined below:
• The Hospitals agreed to offer a one-time payment of $250,000 to AC Transit to be used for capital improvements to the U-Line to increase capacity (Section 5(c)(iv)(A)). As required, the Hospitals offered to contribute $250,000 to AC Transit for capital improvements to the U Line; this offer was accepted, and the payment was made on January 5, 2018.
• The Hospitals agreed to offer to make annual payments to AC Transit in a reasonable amount, not to exceed $50,000, to be used for operating costs of the U-Line to maintain a load factor for bus service to the Medical Center of less than 1 (Section 5(c)(iv)(B)). The Hospitals are making annual payments to AC Transit for purposes of U-Line operating costs.
• In order to encourage Hospital employees living in the East Bay to use public transit for their commute, the Hospitals committed to using best efforts to lease 75 parking spaces at the Ardenwood Park and Ride lot, or an equivalent location, at a cost not to exceed $45,000 per year (Section 5(c)(iv)(C)). The Hospitals continue to meet this requirement, and currently lease 100 parking spaces in Newark (35263 Fircrest Drive). However, the Fircrest-Ardenwood route that provided service to these spaces was suspended in December 2020 due to the pandemic reducing demand and resulting low ridership. East Bay riders continue to be served by the U Line and DB Express.
Section 5(c)(v). Opticom PaymentsWithin 30 days from issuance of the first Hospital occupancy permit, the Hospitals committed to pay $11,200 to the City of Palo Alto to be used for the installation of Opticom traffic control systems at the following seven intersections: El Camino Real/Palm Drive/University Avenue; El Camino Real/Page Mill Road; Middlefield Road/Lytton Road; Junipero Serra/Page Mill Road; Junipero Serra/Campus Drive West; Galvez/Arboretum; and the Alpine/280 Northbound ramp. However, since the time that this commitment was made, the City determined that Opticom systems are outdated, and proposed the purchase and installation of the ATMS.now Emergency.now package, which would allow coordinated prioritization at all City-maintained traffic signals. Agreement to this change in traffic signal priority system is documented in a letter dated December 12, 2017 from the City Manager to the SUMC Parties, which was accepted and agreed to by the SUMC Parties by countersigned letter. The required payment was made on December 12, 2017, within 30 days of issuance of the first Hospital occupancy permit.
Section 5(c)(vi). Caltrain GO PassesThe Development Agreement requires that the Hospitals purchase annual Caltrain GO Passes for all existing and new Hospital employees who work more than 20 hours per week at a cost of up to approximately $1.8 million per year, beginning on September 1, 2015. This obligation is expected to continue for a period of 51 years.
Hospital management accelerated the purchase of the annual GO Pass for Hospital employees, and began providing free GO Passes to employees commencing on January 1, 2012. Annual passes were purchased again for all existing and new eligible employees for 2021.
Section 5(c)(vii). Marguerite Shuttle ServiceThe Hospitals will fund the reasonable costs, in an approximate amount of $2 million, for the purchase of additional shuttle vehicles for the Marguerite shuttle service, as and when required to meet increased
COMPLIANCE WITH DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT OBLIGATIONS
5.a
Packet Pg. 154
ANNUAL REPORT 2020-21 11
demand for shuttle service between the project sites and the Palo Alto Intermodal Transit Station. In addition, the Hospitals will fund as annual payments the reasonable costs, in an approximate amount of $450,000 per year, to cover the net increase in operating costs for the Marguerite Shuttle. Demand for the Marguerite shuttle increased in 2012, and the Hospitals funded the purchase of three new hybrid shuttles to meet this increased demand. Since this time, the Hospitals have funded as annual payments the reasonable costs of the net increase in operating costs for the Marguerite Shuttle.
Section 5(c)(viii). Transportation Demand Management CoordinatorThe Development Agreement requires that the Hospitals employ an onsite qualified Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Coordinator for Stanford Medicine, commencing on September 1, 2015, and continuing through the life of the Renewal Project.
Because the Hospitals accelerated the purchase of the Caltrain GO Pass, the Hospitals also accelerated the hiring of the TDM Coordinator, filling this position in March 2012. The TDM Coordinator is responsible for overseeing the analysis, development, and implementation of programs to advance the Hospitals’ TDM objectives. Specific duties that are carried out in collaboration with Stanford Transportation include raising awareness among commuters about alternative transportation options and Stanford’s commute incentive programs; providing alternative commute planning assistance and responses to customer inquiries; writing and editing electronic and print communications; coordinating and staffing outreach events, such as free transit pass distributions and employee fairs; and providing alternative transportation information and resources at new employee orientations.
In addition, the TDM Coordinator is responsible for overseeing the Transportation Hub within the new Stanford Hospital. The Transportation Hub serves as an alternative transportation information center available to both staff and patients, and includes a monitor screen (Transit Screen) that displays all mobility options in the area at a glance, in real time.
Section 5(c)(ix). Monitoring of TDM ProgramsThe Hospitals are required to submit annual monitoring reports showing the current number of employees employed over 20 hours per week; the number of employees using an alternative transportation mode as documented by a study or survey to be completed by the Hospitals using a method mutually agreeable to the City and the Hospitals; and the efforts used by the Hospitals to attempt to achieve the Alternative Mode Targets identified in the Development Agreement. The Development Agreement specifies payments to be made in the event that such targets are not met during particular time periods. Stanford Medicine submitted its 2021 Alternative Mode Share Report to the City on May 28, 2021; this report shows an alternative mode split of 28.8% for the Hospitals, representing a significant drop in alternative mode share since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The shift from alternative modes to single-occupancy vehicles among on-campus Hospital staff is consistent with generally observed changes in transit behavior during the pandemic, with the key difference that the Hospitals’ on-campus employees largely do not have the ability to perform work remotely, as they primarily occupy roles which require direct patient interface or otherwise require physical presence. Given reductions in transit service and concerns over the safety of public transportation during the pandemic, the reduction of 5 percentage points in the Hospitals’ alternative mode share from the most recent reporting year can be more easily understood. Stanford Medicine remains committed to increasing its alternative mode share, and enabling employees to travel safely to work using alternative modes.

To further encourage use of Caltrain, bus, and other transit services, and to enhance and encourage use of pedestrian and bicycle connections between Stanford Medicine and downtown Palo Alto, Stanford Medicine has funded the following specific infrastructure improvements.
Section 5(d)(i). Intermodal Transit FundStanford Medicine has provided to the City one lump sum payment of $2.25 million for improvements to enhance the pedestrian and bicycle connection from the Palo Alto Intermodal Transit Center to the existing intersection of El Camino Real and Quarry Road. Up to $2 million of this amount is to be used by the City for the development of an attractive, landscaped passive park/green space with a clearly marked and lighted pedestrian pathway, benches, and flower borders. Stanford Medicine paid the entire required amount for the Intermodal Transit Fund on August 25, 2011. No further action is required by Stanford Medicine to comply with this Development Agreement provision. As required by Development Agreement Section 12(d), the City will provide yearly Supplements to the Annual Report to provide an accounting of the City's expenditures from this fund, and the purposes for which the expenditures were used.
In Summer 2017, prior to issuance of the first Hospital Occupancy Permit, the City completed a temporary path with associated lighting, landscaping / green space, benches, and flower borders from the transit center to the existing crosswalk at the intersection of El Camino Real and Quarry Road. Available funds remaining (approximately $1.69 million) will be applied to the construction of permanent improvements in the future.
Section 5(d)(ii). Quarry Road FundStanford Medicine has provided to the City one lump sum payment of $400,000 for improvements to and within the public right-of-way to enhance the pedestrian and bicycle connection from the west side of El Camino Real to Welch Road along Quarry Road, including urban design elements and way finding, wider bicycle lanes, as necessary, on Quarry Road, enhanced transit nodes for bus and/or shuttle stops, and prominent bicycle facilities. Stanford Medicine paid the entire required amount for the Quarry Road Fund on August 25, 2011. No further action is required by Stanford Medicine to comply with this Development Agreement provision. As required by Development Agreement Section 12(d), the City will provide yearly Supplements to the Annual Report to provide an accounting of the City's expenditures from this fund, and the purposes for which the expenditures were used. The City was required to construct the improvements prior to issuance of the first Hospital Occupancy Permit, but as agreed to with Stanford Medicine, delayed implementation of these improvements until utility trenching to the Medical Center was complete. In late 2018, the City completed these improvements, including enhanced crosswalks and bicycle striping and signage.
Section 5(d)(iii). Stanford Barn ConnectionStanford Medicine agreed to construct up to $700,000 of improvements to enhance the pedestrian connection between the Main Medical Campus and the Stanford Shopping Center from Welch Road to Vineyard Lane, in the area adjacent to the Stanford Barn prior to issuance of the first Hospital Occupancy permit. Construction of the improvements completed in November 2017, in advance of issuance of the first Hospital Occupancy permit. No further action is required by Stanford Medicine to comply with this Development Agreement provision.

Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Annual Report Supplement
Prepared by the City of Palo Alto
January 24, 2022
Background and Purpose
On June 6, 2011, the City Council approved Comprehensive Plan amendments, zoning changes, a
conditional use permit, annexation and design applications for the Stanford University Medical Center
Facilities Renewal and Replacement Project (the “Projects”). The Projects include the construction of a
new Stanford Hospital and clinics buildings, an expansion of the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital,
construction of new School of Medicine buildings, renovation of the existing Hoover Pavilion,
construction of a new medical office building and parking garage at Hoover Pavilion, roadway
improvements along Welch Road and Durand Way, and SUMC design guidelines. A Development
Agreement (the “Agreement”) vesting these approvals was entered into between the SUMC Parties and
the City and was effective on June 6, 2011 and continues for thirty (30) years from the effective date.
The Agreement requires an annual report, prepared by SUMC that outlines the activities of the
preceding year and the efforts to fulfill the obligations of the Agreement.
Per the requirements of sections 12(a) and 12(c) of the Agreement, The City of Palo Alto is to prepare a
supplement to the annual report that contains an accounting of the funds described in the Section 5 of
the Agreement (“SUMC Parties’ Promises”) including the fund balances and expenditures and the
purposes for which the expenditures were used.
Public Benefit Fund Accounting
This annual report supplement covers the period during the tenth year of the Agreement: June 6, 2020
through June 6, 2021. Accounting for the funds outlined in Attachment C-3 Part 2 extends through the
end of the City’s Fiscal Year 2021, June 30, 2021.
In summary, the SUMC Parties have paid approximately $44.3 million in public benefit fees to the City
since June 6, 2011 through the FY 2019-2020 reporting period. There were no required new payments
from the SUMC Parties during the FY 2020-2021 reporting period.

Title: Approval of Task Order Construction Contract C22183580 With MP Nexlevel of California, Inc. in the Amount not to exceed $8,815,809 for Trenching and Substructure Installation and Materials; Authorization for the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute Related but Unforeseen Change Orders Not-to-Exceed $881,581, for a Total Not-to-Exceed Amount of $9,697,390 Over Three Years
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Utilities Recommendation Staff recommends the Council:
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute a task order construction contract with MP Nexlevel of California, Inc. (Linked Document) in the amount not to exceed $8,215,809 to provide utility trenching and substructure installation, labor and equipment for a period of 3 years.
2. Approve and authorize the City Manager or their designee to purchase materials in the
amount of $600,000 related to the utility trenching and substructure installation to be performed by MP Nexlevel of California, Inc.
3. Approve and authorize the City Manager or their designee to negotiate and execute
change orders to the contract with MP Nexlevel of California, Inc. for related, but unforeseen work which may develop during the contract term, the total value of which shall not exceed $881,581 or 10% of total contract. The total not-to-exceed amount of the contract is $9,697,390, which includes contract amount of $8,215,809, materials of $600,000, and a 10% contingency of $881,581 over 3 years.
Background Electric substructure installation and trenching services are contracted out and the volume of substructure and trenching services varies year over year based on the level of construction and

City of Palo Alto Page 2
development activities in the City. Staff establishes a multi-year contract with a general contractor to provide trenching and excavation services, and to install electric utility substructures such as conduits, boxes, and vaults on an as needed basis. The trenching and substructures are for a variety of customer service installations, replacement of existing underground electric system equipment, and for fiber optic, streetlight, and communication services. Staff creates a scope of work each time the contractor’s services are needed, and the contractor provides a ‘not to exceed’ quote. Staff must authorize the work prior to the start of construction. Payment is made upon completion of the work, and acceptance by the City, and is only for the contractor’s actual costs. For customer-related work, trenching and substructure costs are reimbursed by the customers through the customer connection charges. These costs do not contribute to general electric ratepayer expenses. Project completion retention is not held for these projects as they have a limited scope of work and construction duration and tracking, and billing would pose an administrative challenge. The existing three-year trenching and substructure contract with MP Nexlevel is scheduled to end in March 2022. Discussion The City does not possess the staffing resources to provide electric substructure installation and trenching services. Electric substructure and trenching services have been contracted out by the City for over 28 years. Award of the contract is necessary to complete electric and fiber optic capital improvement projects in a timely and cost-effective manner. These services are also occasionally used for maintenance work included in the Operating Budget. Summary of Bid Process

*Bid summary provided in Attachment A. Staff has reviewed all bids submitted and recommends that the bid of $8,215,809 submitted by MP Nexlevel of California, Inc. (MP Nexlevel) be accepted and that MP Nexlevel be declared the lowest responsible bidder. The bid is 3% below the staff engineer's estimate of $8,500,000. Staff’s estimate was based on the previous contract for this work adjusted for added quantities and estimated labor escalation. For example, staff changed the scope of the contract to reflect actual construction activities performed under the most recent contract such as increasing or
6
Packet Pg. 173
City of Palo Alto Page 3
decreasing number of hours for a skilled worker (i.e. foreman, equipment operator, truck driver) and types of equipment (i.e. dump truck, directional boring rig). Though the cost of equipment provided by MP Nexlevel was less than the previous bid, labor costs increased by 18% due to high demand for construction workers and increasing market wages, thus resulting in the 3% difference between the staff estimate and bid. The Bids were for labor and equipment costs only. Materials were not included as a bid item since they will be supplied by either the City or the Contractor, depending on the type of material required. The estimated cost of contractor supplied materials is $600,000. The full contract amount requested is $8,215,809, which is MP Nexlevel’s bid price for labor and equipment, plus $600,000 for materials. Staff confirmed with the Contractor's State License Board that the contractor has an active license on file. Staff checked references supplied by the contractor for previous work performed and found no significant complaints. The work by the contractor will be continually monitored and evaluated. Continued work under this contract for subsequent fiscal years FY2023 and FY2024 will be subject to satisfactory performance by the contractor and appropriation of required funds in the respective fiscal years. Stakeholder Engagement This was completed as a public request for proposals and coordinated with internal stakeholders including the procurement division and legal reviews. Resource Impact Funding for FY 2022 activities within contract year one is available in the FY 2022 Adopted Capital Budgets of the Electric and Fiber Funds via the following projects: Electric Customer Connections (EL-89028); Electric System Improvement (EL-98003,); Foothills Rebuild (EL-21001); Fiber Optic Customer Connections (FO-10000) and Fiber Optic System Improvement (FO-10001). The cost allocation will be based on actual CIP construction work for the Electric and Fiber fund over the next three years. Staff is requesting approval of the full 10% contingency amount of $881,581 in the first year of the contract to cover any unforeseen conditions and prevent delays of CIP work. Funding for FY 2023 and FY 2024 is subject to City Council approval of the annual appropriation of funds through the annual budget process. This contract is on the City’s task order construction contract template, which permits the City to terminate without cause/for convenience by providing written notice to the contractor. In the event the City finds itself facing a challenging budget situation, and it is determined that City resources need to be refocused elsewhere, the City can terminate for convenience. Other options include termination due to non-appropriation of funds or amending the contract to reduce the cost, for example, by reducing the scope of work.

From: City Manager
Lead Department: Public Works Recommendation Staff recommends that Council:
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute a construction contract with O’Grady Paving Inc. (Contract No. C22184073) in an amount not to exceed $1,200,234 for Palo Alto Fiscal Year 2022 Street Resurfacing Project (Capital Improvement Program Projects PE-86070, PO-12001, PO-89003, PL-04010); and
2. Authorize the City Manager or their designee to negotiate and execute related change orders to the contract with O’Grady Paving Inc. for related additional but unforeseen work that may develop during the project, the total value of which shall not exceed $118,523.
Background The Public Works Engineering Services Division manages construction contracts for concrete repair, preventive maintenance, resurfacing, and reconstruction of various City streets annually. In more recent years, additional Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects are being built through annualized resurfacing contracts due to the complexity of construction and benefit of being included in a larger project. The candidate streets are surveyed biennially by Public Works Engineering staff and rated by a computerized pavement maintenance management system (PMMS) and by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC) pavement analysis program.

City of Palo Alto Page 2
Staff recommends approval of this street resurfacing construction contract with O’Grady Paving Inc. as part of the program to maintain and improve the condition of Palo Alto’s streets. This project will carry out necessary maintenance work that is in alignment with the Adopted Fiscal Year 2022 Capital Improvement Program budget strategy. The $1,200,234 expenditure for this contract will be used to repave 2.63 lane-miles of arterial and residential streets with Pavement Condition Index (PCI) scores averaging 46. This will help maintain and improve the City’s PCI beyond its average of 83 and will address many streets whose PCI scores fall below the City’s minimum goal of 60.
The scope of work includes the replacement of approximately 850 linear feet (0.16 miles) of curbs and gutters, 1,350 square feet of driveways, and 1,250 square feet of sidewalks. Additionally, three new curb ramps will be installed, and eight existing curb ramps will be retrofitted with truncated domes to conform to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The streets being resurfaced in this contract are shown in Attachment A.
Bid Process On January 26, 2022, an invitation for bids (IFB) for the Palo Alto FY 2022 Street Resurfacing Project was posted online through PlanetBids and 1,665 notifications were sent to general contractors, subcontractors, consultants, and builder’s exchanges through the City’s eProcurement system. The bidding period was 21 calendar days. Bids were received from five contractors on February 16, 2022, as listed on the attached Bid Summary (Attachment B).

Staff reviewed information and similar projects performed by the lowest bidder, O’Grady Paving Inc. and found them to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Staff also checked with the Contractor's State License Board and confirmed the contractor has an active license on file.
This contract is on the City’s construction contract template, which permits the City to terminate without cause/for convenience by providing written notice to the contractor. In the event the City finds itself facing a challenging budget situation, and it is determined that City resources need to be refocused elsewhere, the City can terminate for convenience. Other options include termination due to non-appropriation of funds or amending the contract to reduce the cost, for example, by reducing the scope of work.
Resource Impact Funding for this contract is available in the Fiscal Year 2022 budgets for the following Capital Improvement Program projects: Street Maintenance (PE-86070), Curb and Gutter Repairs (PO-12001), Sidewalk Repairs (PO-89003), and Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan (PL-04010). The not-to-exceed funding allocations are as follows:
Stakeholder Engagement All streets have been coordinated with the City’s Utilities Department and the Office of Transportation to minimize the cutting of newly resurfaced streets. Extensive public outreach will be conducted before and during the construction phase to keep the community informed throughout the process, including flyers sent to adjacent residences and businesses, and notices posted online on Nextdoor and the City’s website.
Policy Implications This project is in conformance with the City of Palo Alto’s Comprehensive Plan and does not represent any changes to existing City policies.

City of Palo Alto (ID # 14060) City Council Staff Report
Meeting Date: 3/21/2022
City of Palo Alto Page 1
Title: Approval of Amendment Number One to Contract C19173550 with Accela, Inc. to add the Accela Mobile Office and Accela Electronic Reporting Database Modules to this Online Services Contract, and to Increase the Compensation by an Amount Not-To-Exceed $57,210 for a New Total Not-to-Exceed Amount of $848,554
From: City Manager
Lead Department: IT Department
Recommendation Staff recommends that City Council approve and authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute Amendment No. 1 to Contract C19173550 with Accela, Inc. including an increase the compensation by $57,210, from $791,344 to a new total not-to-exceed amount of $848,554. Background Accela is a technology system that is used primarily to assist in the provision of services in the Development Center. Accela Automation (City side) and Accela Citizen Access (public side), both web-based applications, allow the City of Palo Alto, contractors, and residents to apply for and check the status of permits. The system also allows field inspection staff to provide results of the inspections in the field which increases communication efforts with the applicant and internal staff. Accela allows residents and contractors to apply for all permits online and check the status of permits via the internet on a 24-hour, 7 days per week basis regardless of the City’s normal business hours. Accela GovXML provides a common interface for web-based government applications, and a means of information transfer between back-end systems and front-end, vendor-agnostic applications. Discussion The City originally procured Accela Mobile Office (AMO) licenses in 2013, separately from Contract C19173550 for Accela Automation, GovXML and Citizen Access online-hosted services. Staff now recommend bringing all Accela online-hosted services, including the extension and continued use of the AMO module and adding the new Enhanced Reporting Database feature (described below), under one contract, Contract C19173550, via this Amendment No. 1.

City of Palo Alto Page 2
The AMO module extend processing capabilities to the field for inspections, code enforcement, and service requests. AMO provides real-time, visual access of data in the City’s Online Permitting Services database from a mobile device. AMO allows the City to configure the application based on user roles, displaying information for different user types and has the ability to work offline for City users that have limited or no connectivity in the field. AMO also is the primary software used for contractors to ‘self-schedule’ inspections via mobile apps. AMO features including, but are not limited to: • Cancel, reschedule, or reassign field appointments, • Sign off on jobs and submit results back to the agency in real-time, • Utilize offline capabilities when in a remote area. • Create new inspections, investigations, or service requests. The Accela Enhanced Reporting Database (ERD) feature to be added via this amendment will allow the City to access, develop and run reports against near real-time copy of the City’s Accela Automation database to increase business process efficiency by providing business intelligence insights and informative data points from available tools such as Microsoft Power BI and/or Tableau or any other business intelligence software the City may procure and implement in the future. Access to ERD can provide additional features, including but not limited to; • Near real-time data analytics, • Superior reporting capabilities and informative ‘dashboards’, • Integration with other systems, and • Data redundancy for increased data security. Currently, Accela includes reporting and exporting capabilities as part of its standard feature set which requires staff to maintain and add reports that assist active users of the system. Real-time direct access to the data with ERD access can facilitate automated filtering and uploading of permit data to the City’s Open Data portal for public consumption. Providing these types of data analytics to the public in the past, such as the City’s Online Parcel Report, greatly reduced ‘one-off’ inquiries and associated manual staff work. Likewise, direct data access can be used with analytics software (e.g., ArcGIS - which the City is currently transitioning to, Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, etc.) to create ‘dashboard’ type analytics regarding performance measures and permit processing times ‘by type of permit’ for managers, directors, decision makers and other stakeholders. Access to Accela’s ERD can further boost the City’s ongoing and future needs for data driven discussions and decisions. The terms of this amendment for service align with the existing contract expiration date of 09/30/2023 for one year and six months. Total cost of services for the Accela Mobile Office and the Enhanced Reporting Database will be, $21,834 and $35,376,

respectively, bringing the total maximum amount of the contract from $791,344 to a new total not-to-exceed amount of $848,554. If not approved, the mobile inspector application for fieldwork related to building, public works, and fire inspections will be impacted. Without the access, inspectors will not have the ability to track and complete inspections in the field. Additionally, without the Enhanced Reporting Database, Planning and Development Services will have limited access to reporting information, including advanced business and operational metrics made available by this service. Resource Impact Funding for this contract amendment in FY 2022 is within budgeted levels adopted by the City Council, no additional funding is requested. Technology costs are cost recovered at the Development Center through a 2% technology fee that is assessed on private construction projects. Planning fees also capture technology costs for the intended purpose of technology maintenance and enhancements. Funding for future fiscal years is subject to City Council approval through the annual budget process. Stakeholder Engagement No stakeholder engagement was performed related to the contract amendment; when the contract is up for renewal stakeholder engagement related to this service and program will be performed. Environmental Review These services do not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Attachments:

Meeting Date: 3/21/2022
City of Palo Alto Page 1
Title: Direct Staff to Relinquish S. Palo Alto Bikeways Project Grant Under OBAG2 and Reapply Under OBAG3 in May, 2022 to Allow For Additional Time to Meet Project Outreach, Design, and CEQA Requirements
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Transportation Department Recommendation Staff recommends that Council direct Office of Transportation (OOT) staff to relinquish the One Bay Area Grant Cycle 2 (OBAG2) construction grant and apply for One Bay Area Grant Cycle 3 (OBAG3) construction funds and other funds as necessary for the South Palo Alto Bikeways Project. This will better align with the anticipated project timeline and allow staff to prioritize other projects. This includes advancing the California Avenue/Ramona Street Closure study and launch the Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan update in the short-term while the South Palo Alto Bikeways Projects moves to the next grant cycle, with applications due in May. Background The South Palo Alto Bikeways project proposes bicycle facility improvements for the Waverley Multi-Use Path on Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD) land between East Meadow Drive and East Charleston Road, Fabian Way from E. Meadow Drive to E. Charleston Road, and East Meadow Drive from Alma Street to Fabian Way (Figure 1). In 2017, the project was awarded federal funds from the Vehicle Emissions Reductions Based at Schools (VERBS) program, a subprogram of the One Bay Area Grant 2 (OBAG 2) program, for construction costs. The project must receive all Caltrans approvals to initiate construction by January 2023.

Figure 1: South Palo Alto Bikeways Project Segments Council approved a robust outreach process in January 2021, with the grant on a tight timeline
for delivery. Phase 1 community engagement was completed in mid-2021, and the initial
project conceptual plans were shared with Planning and Transportation Commission (PTC) in
July 2021 and approved by Council on August 9, 2021.1 The project website that contains public
outreach presentations, recorded webinars, virtual route tours, and prior Council and PTC staff
reports can be viewed here.
Discussion Lack of staff resources in several departments has delayed the Bikeways project such that City and VTA staff are not confident the project will meet the obligation deadline imposed by the grant. At project kickoff, VTA staff advised the City to complete outreach, design, and environmental review by October 1, 2022 when the complete project design package is due to Caltrans in order to meet a January 31, 2023 grant obligation deadline. The Senior Transportation Planner who led this project left the Office of Transportation in July 2021. Staff sought interim project management help from contractors but were unable to find resources. New staff recruitment had significant delays, with a final candidate coming on board in late February 2022. Despite the vacancy, the Office of Transportation continued to push the project forward, releasing a Request for Proposals in November and selecting a vendor in December to conduct outreach and design. Procurement staff experienced vacancies and COVID delays and were not able to award the contract until February 8, 2022. Work has not yet started on the subsequent outreach phases for the Bikeways project. Given recent Council assignment of a

new study on California Avenue and Ramona Street2, this is an appropriate time to re-prioritize staff resources for OOT projects. The following paragraphs discuss options with respect to the S. Palo Alto Bikeways project. Grant Retention: Limited Public Engagement and Project Risk Retaining the OBAG2 grant will require limiting public engagement on this project which is counter to Council direction to improve public engagement practices. In order to meet the October deadline, public outreach to the school communities would have to occur in the summer when schools are not in session and families are difficult to reach. In addition, several phases of public engagement promised to the community would need to be eliminated. Even if staff could complete limited public outreach and all phases of design on this timeline, VTA staff have recommended that the City return the grant based on project processing times by Caltrans. Despite Caltrans’ aspirational goals for the environmental review that would need to occur before the October deadline above, VTA believes that due to recent experience with other projects, Caltrans will take longer and may jeopardize the City’s ability to meet the grant deadline. Not meeting the deadline will be marked as a project delivery failure by regional and state funders and will count against the City in future funding applications, whereas returning the funds does not jeopardize the City’s future grant prospects. Grant Relinquishment and Re-application: Increased Funding Potential, Public Engagement, & Coordination with PAUSD Grant relinquishment allows the City to complete promised community engagement when staff resources allow, resulting in a better project and, potentially, an increase in grant funds. VTA staff indicate that the OBAG3 funding program will open in May this year and that the Bikeways project would be competitive for funds due to its proximity to employment centers and installation of road safety and traffic calming features. Re-applying for funds will likely result in more grant funds for construction because the current construction grant amount is based on the 2016 project cost estimate. Through the re-application process, staff will be able to generate a more accurate construction project cost in 2022 dollars. OOT staff would likely engage consultant support to apply for OBAG3 funds. Staff would continue to pursue other funding sources if an OBAG3 application is unsuccessful. When staff resources allow, OOT could continue the outreach and design phases of the Bikeways project as before and deliver on the public outreach the community demands, such as school-based outreach during the school year. In addition, the Hoover Elementary School re-construction project and its effects on the Waverley path were not contemplated when the original Bikeways grant was written. PAUSD staff have indicated that the school reconstruction in the next three years could allow for additional space to be allotted to the Waverley path.

Pausing the Bikeways project gives staff additional time to coordinate on the Waverley path with PAUSD as the Hoover plans develop. Alternatives and Council Priority Alternatives to the staff recommendation include continuing the S. Palo Alto Bikeways project outreach and design phases planned for 2022, beginning work on the California Avenue/Ramona Street Closure feasibility study, and pausing the launch of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan update until staff resources allow. Another alternative is for staff to continue the S. Palo Alto Bikeways project outreach and design phases planned for 2022, launch the Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan update, and delay work on the California Avenue/Ramona Street Closure feasibility study until staff resources allow. The staff recommendation on this item is based on Council direction on February 28th regarding the California Avenue and Ramona Street Closure study which is an element of Council’s Workplan for its 2022 Economic Recovery and Transition Priority.3 Timeline If approved, staff will immediately relinquish the OBAG2 grant to VTA, pause the public engagement and design phases of the Bikeways project, and begin work on the Council directives regarding the feasibility study for California Ave and Ramona Street. Finally, staff will prepare an OBAG3 grant application in May and June of 2022. The South Palo Alto Bikeways project will be paused and resume when resources allow. Resource Impact Relinquishing the $919,000 of One Bay Area Grant Cycle 2 for Vehicle Emission Reductions Based at Schools (VERBS) construction grant to VTA will remove the budgeted Revenue from Other Agencies amounts of $459,677 in FY 2022 and in FY 2023 from the Safe Routes to School Capital Improvement Fund (PL-00026) CIP. In FY 2021, a total of $781,000 was budgeted in PL-00026 to fund the planned engagement, environmental, and design work needed to prepare the project for construction through staff reports 11757 and 11872. Policy Implications South Palo Alto Bikeways The South Palo Alto Bikeways Project is consistent with the following goals, policies, and programs in the Comprehensive Plan 2030 Transportation Element: Goal T-1: Create a sustainable transportation system, complimented by a mix of land uses, that emphasizes walking, bicycling, use of public transportation and other methods to reduce GHG emissions and the use of single occupancy motor vehicles.

California Avenue and Ramona Street Closure Study With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, the City Council authorized the creation of a Temporary Outdoor Dining program, including the approval of the temporary closure of portions of California Avenue, University Avenue, and Ramona Street. Uplift Local, a Council-supported effort enabling outdoor dining, retail, personal services, and outdoor gyms and fitness options in business districts such as California Avenue and the downtown core and other business areas throughout Palo Alto was created. A dedicated Uplift Local website provided information to the community. This program continues to evolve based on business and community input. Staff has been meeting with the community regularly to seek feedback from the business owners and residents to address concerns associated with outdoor dining program and street closures. While there are fewer retailers in the Cal Ave closure, retailers within and around the closure report challenges they attribute to the closure. Palo Alto residents continue to support continuation of the street closures. As noted in the staff report on February 28, during the study of the feasibility of permanent closure, additional stakeholder outreach will be necessary. Environmental Review South Palo Alto Bikeways No environmental review is necessary for discussion of the Bikeways grant disposition. The project is subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and these assessments will be done as the project moves forward. California Avenue and Ramona Street Closure Study The proposed action is part of a planning study for a possible future action, which has not been approved, adopted, or funded and is therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15262. The future decision to approve the construction would be subject to CEQA and require the preparation of an environmental analysis. Environmental review and project design will be performed in the subsequent steps of the project development.

City of Palo Alto (ID # 13880) City Council Staff Report
Meeting Date: 3/21/2022
City of Palo Alto Page 1
Title: Adoption of an Interim Ordinance Establishing Objective Urban Lot Split Standards and Further Refinements to SB 9 Development Standards; Authorizing the Public Works Director to Publish Objective Standards Regarding Adjacent Improvements Related to SB 9 Projects; and Direction Regarding Listing Properties Eligible for Historic Status.
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Planning and Development Services
Recommended Motion Staff recommends that Council consider the following motion:
1. Review and adopt proposed objective standards for urban lot splits; these standards will only apply to qualifying SB 9 projects within Palo Alto (Attachment A).
2. Adopt Interim Ordinance Refining SB 9 Regulations and Authorizing the Public Works Director to Publish Objective Standards Regarding Adjacent Public Improvements Related to SB 9 Projects (Attachment B).
3. Direct staff to implement Comprehensive Plan Program L7.1.1 to update the City’s historic inventory with properties previously determined eligible for State and National Register.
Executive Summary This report continues work to adapt Palo Alto’s municipal code and associated development review processes to accommodate Senate Bill 9 (SB 9). Council has already adopted an interim ordinance to address some areas of concern while a permanent ordinance is drafted later this year. In advance of the permanent ordinance, staff have drafted objective subdivision standards for urban lot splits (Attachment A). The development of these standards and their adoption by the City Council is contemplated and referenced in the existing ordinance adopted last December. Local implementation of SB 9 to date has revealed some additional gaps and the need to identify and document objective standards related to adjacent public improvements. Adjacent public improvements include curb cuts, roadways, and other improvements necessitated by and related to private development that typically occur within or directly intersect public property (roads, curb lawn, sidewalk, etc.). Staff recommend amending the ordinance so that
10
Packet Pg. 221
City of Palo Alto Page 2
the Director of Public Works can promulgate such objective standards and so they can be incorporated into the code by reference (Attachment B). Also included are some minor clarifying amendments to better align with state law. This report also discusses in greater detail efforts the City may undertake to offer further protection for historic resources, preventing the application of SB 9 to these projects; thereby limiting the risk of demolition or significant alteration of historic resources. The report discusses the strategy to enhance protection as well as the resources required to undertake and complete this work.
Background On December 6, 2021, City Council adopted an urgency ordinance and continued its consideration of an interim ordinance to January. On January 10, 2022, Council approved the interim ordinance. Both the urgency and interim ordiannces seek to adapt Palo Alto’s municipal code and processes to receive and process applications under SB 9 as prescribed in state law. Attachment C contains the languge of SB 9. The remainder of the background section contains information regarding SB 9 as it pertains to urban lot splits and historic resources. The discussion section details how staff propose to create local programs that align with SB 9 and Palo Alto’s development interests. Portions of the Background section serve as a refresher, and are duplicative of previous reports. They are provided for the convenience of the Council and public. Ministerial Urban Lot Splits (Government Code Section 66411.7) Under SB 9, local agencies must ministerially approve, without discretionary review or hearing, certain urban lot splits. To qualify for ministerial approval under SB 9, the parcel to be split must be in a single-family residential zone, which in Palo Alto are the R1 and RE zones. The parcel map for the urban lot split must meet the following requirements:
• Location. The project must be in an urbanized area or urban cluster, or within a city with boundaries in an urbanized area or urban cluster, as those terms are defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. The project cannot be on the site of a designated local or state historic landmark or within a local or state historic district. The project may not be on prime agricultural land, wetlands, or protected species habitat, but may be in a high or very high fire severity hazard zone, earthquake fault zone, floodplain, floodway, and site with hazardous materials so long as certain mitigation measures (as outlined in Government Code Section 65913.4(a)(6)) have been implemented on those sites.
• Parcel Size. The parcel map must subdivide an existing parcel to create no more than two parcels of approximately equal lot area, with neither resulting parcel exceeding 60 percent of the lot area of the original parcel. Additionally, both newly created parcels must be at least 1,200 square feet (unless the local agency adopts a smaller lot size).
• No Prior SB 9 Lot Split. The parcel to be split may not have been established through a prior SB 9 lot split. Neither the owner nor anyone acting in concert with the owner may have previously subdivided an adjacent parcel using an SB 9 lot split.
10
Packet Pg. 222
City of Palo Alto Page 3
• Subdivision Map Requirements. The urban lot split must conform to all applicable objective requirements of the Subdivision Map Act, except those that conflict with SB 9 requirements.
• Protected Units. The urban lot split may not result in the demolition or alteration of affordable housing, rent-controlled housing, housing that was withdrawn from the rental market in the last 15 years, or housing occupied by a tenant in the past 3 years.
• Owner-Occupancy Affidavit. The applicant must indicate, by affidavit, the applicant’s intention to reside in one of the units built on either parcel for at least three years. This requirement does not apply if the applicant is a qualified non-profit or community land trust. The City cannot impose any additional requirement related to owner occupancy.
• Residential Uses. Any parcel created via SB 9 must be used for residential purposes and cannot be used for short-term rentals of less than 30 days.
A parcel map application for an urban lot split that meets these criteria and otherwise qualifies for the SB 9's ministerial process is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, as is an ordinance implementing these provisions. The provisions of the California Coastal Act of 1976 are applicable to SB 9 urban lot splits; Palo Alto does not have any land located within the State defined coastal zone.
A local agency may impose objective zoning standards, objective subdivision standards, and objective design review standards to an SB 9 urban lot split, so long as those standards do not conflict with the limitations imposed by SB 9 and would not physically preclude the construction of up to two units of at least 800 square feet each. Other urban lot split limitations in SB 9 include:
• Setbacks. A local agency may not require rear and side yard setbacks of more than four feet. No setback may be required for a unit constructed (1) within an existing living area, or (2) in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing structure.
• Adjacent or Connected Structures. A local agency may not deny an application for an urban lot split solely because it proposes adjacent or connected structures, as long as the structures meet building code safety standards and are sufficient to allow separate conveyance. This is an exception to a local agency’s ability to require four foot setbacks, which was not reflected in the prior interim ordinance. The attached ordinance corrects this oversight.
• Parking Requirements. A local agency may only require one off-street parking space per unit. No parking requirements may be imposed if the parcel is located within (1) one-half mile walking distance of either a statutorily defined high-quality transit corridor or major transit stop, or (2) one block of a car share vehicle. In Palo Alto, a block equals 600 feet.
• Easements, Access, and Dedications. A local agency may require an application for a parcel map for an urban lot split to include easements necessary for the provision of public services and facilities. The local agency may also require that the resulting parcels have access to, provide access to, or adjoin the public right-of-way. The local agency
10
Packet Pg. 223
City of Palo Alto Page 4
may not require dedications of rights-of-way or construction of new offsite improvements.
• Number of Units; ADUs and JADUs. Notwithstanding the provisions of Government Code Sections 65852.1, 65852.21, 65852.22, and 65915, a local agency is not required to permit more than two units on any parcel created through the authority in SB 9, inclusive of any accessory dwelling units or junior accessory dwelling units.
The standard for denying an application for a parcel map for an urban lot split is the same as for denying an SB 9 two-unit development: The local building official must make a written finding, based on a preponderance of the evidence, that the proposed housing development project would have a specific, adverse impact upon public health and safety, or the physical environment, and there is no feasible method by which to satisfactorily mitigate the adverse impact.
Government Code Section 66452.6 – Subdivision Map Act Amendment Currently, an approved or conditionally approved tentative map expires either 24 months after its approval, or after any additional period permitted by local ordinance, not to exceed an additional 12 months. SB 9 extends the limit on the additional period that may be provided by local ordinance from 12 to 24 months. Where local agencies adopt this change by ordinance, an approved or conditionally approved tentative map would expire up to 48 months after its approval if it received a 24-month extension of approval. Further Protecting Historic Resources Properties with listed historic resources are not eligible for SB 9. This helps provide protection for historic resources throughout the state, including those in Palo Alto. As noted in the prior staff report, however, there are a number of resources eligible for listing on local, state, or national historic registers that are not listed. This vulnerability and possible path forward were described in the December 2021 staff report and Council discussed the topic. In Council’s motion, part B asked that staff “assess and return with…information necessary to update the historic registry.” The Discussion section complies with the request for further information. For reference, the Inventory Update Process proposed is the “Local Inventory Nominations Process” outlined in PAMC Section 18.49.040. This section describes that owners would contact staff, submit Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) completed forms, photos, owner signature page, pay required fees, receive a recommendation from the Historic Resources Board for nomination, followed by Council action on the Consent Calendar. Note that the 165 completed DPR forms for properties determined as National Register Eligible during the 1998-2000 survey are on file with the City and with the State Office of Historic Preservation. However, these properties are not actually listed on the National Register, and 11 of these properties have since been demolished. Staff continues to send, on a yearly basis, completed DPR forms for California Register Eligible properties determined eligible since the
10
Packet Pg. 224
City of Palo Alto Page 5
Comprehensive Plan update end of 2017. These properties are not actually listed on the California Register. None of the properties found eligible are protected under the City’s existing historic preservation ordinance, unless they are within a listed historic district.
Discussion Proposed Objective Standards for Urban Lot Splits Council’s adopted ordinance anticipated the adoption of objective standards for lot splits. Section 21.10.040 (e)1 states: “Each parcel shall comply with any objective lot design standards for Urban Lot Splits adopted by the City Council.” If adopted, the objective lot split standards will be combined with the objective design standards and be applicable to SB 9 projects—and only to SB 9 projects. State law gives cities some latitude in designing lot split standards. Among the allowances, local jurisdictions may require “that the parcels [resulting from a lot split] have access to, provide access to, or adjoin the public right-of-way.” With this in mind, staff have evaluated three types of lot splits. When subdividing a lot, the street frontage requirement can largely dictate the way subdivision is designed. There are two standard ways to subdivide a typical singly family lot into two roughly proportional lots: A side-by-side split and a flag lot as shown in Figure 1 below. In addition to these two, SB 9 allows subdivision into a rear and front and connection to the public right of way via an easement. The following describes these three scenarios along with their pros and cons.
1 Section 21.10.040 (e) “Each parcel shall comply with any objective lot design standards for Urban Lot Splits adopted by the City Council.”
10

City of Palo Alto Page 6
Side-by-Side - Example one shows a new lot line near the center of the lot where each lot has roughly the same frontage on the street. Under SB 9 the resulting lots can either be of equal size (50/50) or split 60/40, with one lot being smaller than the other. Under this configuration, resulting primary homes would face the street, mimicking the current typical development pattern in Palo Alto neighborhoods. In addition, the side-by-side allows the continuation of a rear yard pattern; though a detached ADU could be constructed in the rear yards. Nevertheless, it could have less privacy impacts on neighboring properties than the flag lot options. The center split, though, can also be challenging to realize because, in many cases, there may be an existing home on the lot. The new lot line cannot not go through the existing home. The home must be demolished before the subdivision can be approved, as it would violate Building and Fire Codes for a property line to go through an existing home. In addition, this configuration could give rise to long, narrow lots, which can give the appearance of a denser development pattern from the right of way. This gives way to the second and third options, flag lots—with and without easements. Flag Lots – Flag lot subdivisions are currently out of step with local development standards. Prior to SB 9, new flag lots were not allowed in the R-1 zone districts, except in cases where the flag lot protects an historic resource. Now, the City must approve flag lots in the R-1 zone districts if proposed for development under SB 9. While generally disfavored in Palo Alto in the R-1 zones but allowed in other zone districts, flag lot subdivisions do facilitate preservation of some or all of an existing home, which would help
10
Packet Pg. 226
City of Palo Alto Page 7
preserve existing housing stock and allow an applicant to pursue a subdivision that wouldn’t by definition require demolition of the existing home. One drawback of the flag lot configurations is that the small sizes of the resulting lots combined with the four-foot rear setbacks mean that new SB 9 homes may be in closer proximity to the rear yards of neighboring properties. In addition, if the rear home is two stories and the front home is one (which may happen if an existing one-story home is preserved); this would be unusual in Palo Alto generally and may create privacy impacts. For applicants, the flag lot—without easement—may reduce the floor area available for development. This is because the “flagpole” reduces the dimensions of the front lot and thereby reduces the developable area. Flag Lot with Easement – The draft lot split standards propose to allow (and require) flag lots created through easements only if the initial lot has a frontage less than 50 feet. This promotes the side-by-side and flag lot options as superior. In addition, under the easement option, the width of the flag is reduced to the minimum required for vehicular access to the rear property; this is 10 feet. This process also has additional steps in the recordation process to ensure that the easement is appropriately memorialized. In summary, the lot split standards propose to allow all subdivision types, though certain conditions are required:
• Side-by-side split – Allowed in all situations
• Flag lot – Allowed in all situations
• Flag lot with easement – Allowed (and required) only on lots less than 50’ wide. Preferred Development Pattern SB 9 is a very new law and much remains untested. At this time, Council may wish to adopt the proposed standards, have the recommending bodies and staff collaborate on permenent policies, and take information regarding actual applications into consideration when the permanent ordinance is reviewed later this year. Or, Council may prefer to communicate a preferred lot development pattern at this time. Council may wish to discourage the side-by-side split option in order to preserve wider lots as the predominant development pattern in Palo Alto. To preserve wider lots, the City could require a minimum frontage of 30’ under SB 9 for the side-by-side split option to be available. Any lot split that would result in a lot with less than 30’ of street frontage would need to avail itself of the flag lot option. Establishing a minimum lot width of 30’ (as opposed to the current standard 60’) would mean that, in cases where space was insufficient to split near the center, the applicant would pursue either of the flag lot options. The greatest downside to this minimum frontage is that it may
10
Packet Pg. 227
City of Palo Alto Page 8
lead to more flag lots, which may lead to more homes built in the rear, and thus with greater adjacencies to neighboring yards. Lots that can choose the side-by-side option would result in longer and narrower lots than typically allowed by today’s lot standards. While longer and narrower, it is easier for an applicant to leave a back yard because both lots have buildable area closer to the street. Conversely, Council may wish to discourage flat lots. In this context, flag lots would only be permitted on narrow lots. For example, lots that are less than 50’ wide (or another width). This would encourage use of the side-by-side choice. If Council has no preference between the lot split options, no change is needed to the staff recommendation. If Council prefers to require a minimum of 30’ of lot street frontage, that can be added to the lot split standards. Further Shaping of Lots A number of other standards are proposed to shape the resulting lots and homes on the lots. These are available for Council consideration in Attachment A. Historic Preservation Unless historic resources are listed on the local inventory or the state and national registers, including listed historic districts, they are not protected from demolition under SB 9. In order to protect more resources already deemed eligible for State or national registers, the City could act to ensure that eligible properties become listed on the local Inventory of historic resources. Council will need to (1) direct staff and the Historic Resources Board to undertake this work in the upcoming or future work plan and (2) appropriate resources for consultant support to carry out the requisite research and project management. This would serve to implement Comprehensive Plan program L7.1.1. The program states that the City shall: “Update and maintain the City’s Historic Resources Inventory to include historic resources that are eligible for local, State, or federal listing. Historic resources may consist of a single building or structure or a district.” Without qualified historic preservation professionals on staff, PDS would need to contract for this work. In addition, given the constraints on staffing and this project being non-revenue backed (not paid for by permit fees), the City will need contract project management as well. The consultant resources would perform necessary analysis, outreach to property owners, and prepare materials for the HRB and Council to place the properties on the City’s local inventory. This process is described in the background section. Staff estimate the cost of the consultant services to be approximately $50,000; though this estimate must be finalized. Public Works Objective Standards Since the adoption of the interim ordinances, staff have recognized a need to thoroughly address adjacent public improvements. Adjacent public improvements include curb cuts,
10
Packet Pg. 228
City of Palo Alto Page 9
roadways, and other improvements related to private development that typically occur within or directly intersect public property (roads, curb lawn, sidewalk, etc.) that the builder of a new home must provide. Staff recommend amending the ordinance so that the Director of Public Works can promulgate such standards and so they can be incorporated into the code by reference (Attachment B). While there are typical standards for adjacent public improvements applied by the Public Works Department to a range of development projects, they are not documented and applied in such a way to be considered objective standards. Therefore, it is not possible to impose the standards on SB 9 projects and keep the projects ministerial. Similar to the development of lot split standards, staff recommend adding language to the regular ordinance allowing the Director of Public Works to promulgate objective adjacent public improvement standards. Examples of standards include allowable curb cuts, distances between curb cuts for driveways, reconstruction of sidewalk and/or curb lawns. Specifying these in objective ways will ensure that SB 9 projects are better connected into the neighborhood fabric.
Policy Implications & Resource Impact The primary policy implications for these recommendations are described in the discussion section. Overall, further refinement of the lot split standards will occur through the Planning and Transportation Commission’s deliberation and ultimate recommendation. This discussion, coupled with a few months of experience processing applications, will ensure that the revised permanent ordanince addresses policy implications that have been identified as well as those that have yet to be identified. The historic reosurce protection strategy will require additional resources. While the consultant resources will amplify the City’s ability to pursue the project oversight of the consultant, communication with property owners, and work with the HRC and Council will require significant staff time. This will detract from other already identified Council proirities. If Council asks staff to move forward with this work item, Council will identify other assignments that will be delayed. In this way, the resource impact has policy implications, primarily that other policy work will not occur as quickly. The development of the adjacent public improvement standards will require staff time, but will not require consultant dollars. Public Works staff remain under similar staff challenges as PDS, with a number of vacancies in key roles supporting the development of these standards and processing of permit applications. Nevertheless, since standards already exist—they are simply not objective—the process to reframe and adjust these standards may not add a significant workload to staff.
Timeline Adoption of the lot split standards will take affect immediately, as they are already referenced
10
Packet Pg. 229
City of Palo Alto Page 10
in the ordinace. Until adopted, the standards cannot be applied to projects. The historic resource protection work can be undertaken after allocation of budget and successful execution of a contract with a qualified historic resource firm with appropriate project management resources. The adjacent public improvement standards can be developed and become active upon their approvel by the Director of the Department of Public Works.
Stakeholder Engagement The lot split and adjacent public improvement standards, similar to the prior ordinances, did not have the benefit of public engagement because the City is rapidly responding to newly adopted and effective state laws. The more robust development of the permanent ordinance will include outreach with a variety of local stakeholders, including residents and design professionals. To ensure the City’s preferences are protected in the immediate future, staff recommend adoption of standards and amendment of the ordinance to allow creation of adjacent public improvement standards. The historic preservation component benefited from the input of the Historic Resources Board as well as any public comments that occurred during the public hearing. In addition to the members of the public, two council members attended the HRB retreat as well. If approved for the work plan, the item will also be considered again by Council as will the funding of the appropriation. Each of these decision points provides additional opportunities for public comments.
Environmental Review The proposals are not projects as defined by the California Environmental Resources Act.
Resource Impact Funding for work related to updating the historic resources inventory in FY 22 is within budgeted levels adopted by the City Council; no additional funding is requested at this time. However, if there are any additional costs in FY 23, staff may return with a funding request to complete this work. The total cost is not expected to exceed $50,000. Attachments:

Ordinance No. ______
Ordinance of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Modifying Chapters 18.42 (Standard for Special Uses) and 21.10 (Parcel Maps for Urban Lot Splits) of the
Palo Alto Municipal Code to Further Implement Senate Bill 9 The Council of the City of Palo Alto ORDAINS as follows: SECTION 1. Findings and declarations. The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law Senate Bill 9 (SB 9), which requires, among other things, that local agencies ministerially approve both two-unit construction and urban lot splits on single-family zoned lots.
B. SB 9 authorizes the creation of lots as small as 1,200 square feet and requires approval of two residential units of at least 800 square feet (for a total of 1,600 square feet) each on such lots. This represents a significant departure from existing minimum lot sizes and development standards in Palo Alto’s single-family zones.
C. SB 9 authorizes local jurisdictions to apply objective zoning standards, objective subdivision standards, and objective design standards, subject to certain limitations in statute.
D. On January 24, 2022, the City Council adopted Interim Ordinance No. 5542.
E. The City Council now desires to modify Interim Ordinance No. 5542 to clarify its terms and to adopt additional standards for lot splits.
F. There is insufficient time for consideration of and recommendation on objective standards related to SB 9 by the Planning and Transportation Commission (PTC) prior to action by the City Council. The Council therefore declares that an interim ordinance, pursuant to Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) Section 18.80.090 is an appropriate measure to adopt standards, pending consideration of a permanent ordinance by the PTC.
SECTION 2. Section 18.42.180 (Interim Standards for Two Units on Single Family Zoned Lots Pursuant to Senate Bill 9) of Chapter 18.42 (Standards for Special Uses) of Title 18 (Zoning) of the Palo Alto Municipal Code is amended to read as follows: 18.42.180 Interim Standards for Two Units on Single Family Zoned Lots Pursuant to Senate Bill 9.

(e) Development Standards.
(1) A project proposing two dwelling units on a parcel in the R-1 or RE districts shall be subject to the development standards set forth in Chapters 18.12 and 18.10, respectively except as provided herein.
(2) All construction pursuant to this section shall comply with objective design standards adopted by the City Council. However, an applicant seeking to deviate from the objective design standards (except to the extent necessary to construct a unit of 800 square feet) may elect to submit an application under the base requirements of Chapters 18.10, or 18.12, including, if applicable, Single Family Individual Review.
(3) If the application of any development standard or design standard would necessarily require that one or more proposed units be less than 800 square feet, such standard shall be relaxed to the minimum extent necessary to allow construction of a unit or units of at least 800 square feet. The Director may publish regulations governing the order in which objective standards shall be waived or relaxed in such circumstances.
(4) Setbacks from side and rear property lines, including street-side property lines, shall be no less than four feet, except in the case of existing non-complying structures or structures reconstructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing structure, in which case existing setbacks less than four feet may be maintained. No setback is required from an internal lot line newly created pursuant to Chapter 21.10, for adjacent or connected structures separated by the new lot line, provided that the structures meet building code safety standards and are sufficient to allow separate conveyance.
(5) Off-street parking shall be provided pursuant to Chapters 18.52 and 18.54. (6) In the event that a project is proposed on a site that has been subject to an
Urban Lot Split under Chapter 21.10, and the project would result in three or more detached units across the two parcels created by the urban lot split, any new units shall not exceed 800 square feet.
(7) Accessory structures, such as garages and shed are permitted consistent with the provisions of the zoning district; however, no accessory structure shall have a floor area exceeding 500 square feet.
[. . .] SECTION 3. Sections 21.10.030 (Applicability), 21.10.040 (General Requirements), and 21.10.050 (Application and Review of an Urban Lot Split) of Chapter 21.10 (Urban Lot Splits) of Title 21 (Subdivisions and Other Divisions of land) of the Palo Alto Municipal Code are amended to read as follows: 21.10.030 Applicability.

Summary Title: Supplemental Report - HE Housing Sites
Title: Approve the Housing Element Working Group and Planning and Transportation Commission Recommendations for the 2023-31 Housing Element Sites and Their Associated Unit Yields as Well as Potential Feedback on Housing Element Policies and Programs, or Other Housing-Related Direction to Staff.
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Planning and Development Services
Summary: On March 21, 2022, staff will be presenting the Planning and Transportation Commission (PTC)
recommendations on the 2023-31 Housing Element Update sites selection for City Council
consideration. Staff continues to work on the staff report for this item, which will go out in a
late packet on March 17.
The PTC recently concluded its recommendations for the proposed strategies and sites for the
2023-31 Housing Element update. The City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the
2023-31 planning period is 6,086 units. The Housing Element Working Group (Working Group)
approved recommendations to the PTC for strategies and sites that yield close to 7,000 units.
For the most part, the PTC followed the recommendations of the Housing Element Working
(Working Group) with the following exceptions:
1. Included City-Owned Parking lots as a site selection strategy.
2. Increased the unit yield of the identified Stanford Transit Center site.
With these additional PTC recommendations, more than 7,000 units have been identified to
meet the City’s RHNA. Table 1 provides a summary of the Working Group and PTC
recommendations.

City of Palo Alto Page 1
Summary Title: Condominium Conversion Report
Title: Rental Residential Vacancy Rate Determination for Three Plus Dwelling Units for Calendar Year 2021
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Planning and Development Services
Recommendation: This is an informational report and City Council action is not required.
Executive Summary: This staff report transmits the biannual reporting of the vacancy rates of three or more residential rental units for December 2021. The vacancy rate is 1.13%. When the vacancy rate is less than the 3% threshold, applications to convert residential rental units to ownership units through the subdivision process are not eligible for consideration.
Background: Planning staff prepares the Residential Vacancy Rate Determination Report twice a year to
meet the requirements of Palo Alto Municipal Code Section 21.40.040, Determination of
Vacancy Rate and Surplus. The Section 21.40.0401 states the following:
“In April and November of each year, the director of planning and community
environment shall determine from the city utility meter records the vacancy rate and the
vacancy surplus, if any, within the city limits. New market-priced rental units available to
the general public, for which a certificate of use and occupancy has been issued since the
last vacancy survey, shall be added on a unit-for-unit basis either to reduce the vacancy
deficiency or to increase the vacancy surplus”.
1 Municipal Code Chapter 21.40: https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/paloalto/latest/paloalto_ca/0-0-0-19994
12
Packet Pg. 244
City of Palo Alto Page 2
All conversions involving a change in the type of ownership of three or more rental units are
subject to the provisions of this chapter. Vacancy surplus in this section of the Municipal Code is
defined as the number of rental units being offered for rent or lease in excess of the 3%
vacancy rate.
No application for consideration of a tentative or preliminary parcel map for a subdivision
created from a conversion may be filed with the city unless there is a vacancy surplus of 3% or
more as of the most recent determination pursuant to Section 21.40.040.
The Planning and Development Services Department has records of tracking the three-plus
units’ rental vacancy rate since 2002. Historically, the vacancy rate varied from 1.2% to 1.9%
except for the December 2020 reporting2.
Discussion: The purpose of this reporting is to seek a reasonable balance of rental and ownership housing
in the city in a variety of individual choices of tenure, type, price, and location of housing. It is
also to protect the supply of multi-family rental housing stock in the city for low- and moderate-
income families, and to reduce and avoid displacement of tenants particularly seniors and
families.
Staff prepares this report using various data sources. As per the directions provided in
Municipal Code Section 21.40.040, staff uses the City of Palo Alto’s utility meter records to
access total number of “active” multi-family apartments. Bureau of the Census American
Community Survey 2010 data is used as a baseline for the total rental stock data in Palo Alto.
Changes (addition or demolition) to the total rental dwelling unit stock is tracked by staff
biannually using City of Palo Alto’s Accela data to generate the vacancy rate.
As noted above, staff typically prepares a report biannually. But for midyear 2021, staff did not
complete this reporting. In 2021, a data reconcilation effort was initiated by Planning and
Development Services Department staff to increase the accuracy of the database. Staff from
Utilities, Information Technology (IT), and Planning & Development Services (PDS) collaborated
to ‘join,’ relate, and refine the Utilities account database to the Geographic Information System
(GIS) database system. In the report produced in March of 2021 for the calendar year 2020, the
data reconciliation work was still in progress and the generated data was less accurate. Since
then, further refinement and quality control in the data set was completed leading to a cleaner
and dependable data set.
Updated Utilities Database
2 See updated database discussion below for details on the 2020 discrepancy in numbers.
12
Packet Pg. 245
City of Palo Alto Page 3
In November 2020, the City’s Utility Department upgraded its old data recording system (i.e.
BI). This major system upgrade was necessary to accommodate data storage and software
issues. For this upgrade, some data reconciliation and refinements were made to the old data
recording system, enabling staff to take advantage of data points previously unavailable -
resulting in a more precise dataset relative to the previous year's reporting.
The system upgrade permitted address reconciliation between the Utility accounts database
and the City’s GIS address database. This significant cross-department work effort created a link
between certain attributes or data points in the City’s GIS and the Utility account database. This
‘linkage’ facilitated a more accurate unit count focused on rental multifamily utility accounts
instead of all multifamily accounts, which includes ownership/condominium type and rental
multifamily utility accounts. The collaboration successfully identified most Utility accounts
associated with 3+ rental units; for various reasons, not all accounts could be identified (e.g. GIS
address may not exactly match Utility account addresses on corner lots or address formatting
discrepancies between GIS address and Utility account databases). Staff will continue to
research discrepancies on a case-by-case basis to further enhance both datasets.
During this effort, staff also recognized that a number of 3+ rental housing unit utility accounts
have one utility meter for all rental units (e.g. 657 Everett Middlefield Rd) or individual unit
accounts that were always billed or invoiced to the property manager or owner regardless if the
unit is occupied or vacant (e.g. senior housing apartment units). Some 3+ rental housing units’
individual utility accounts also have been ‘inactive’ or have not had a utility bill for some time. It
is difficult to determine whether the unit associated with the account is vacant or is no longer
available to rent; in other words, ‘taken off the rental market’ altogether. These variations
between the GIS and Utility account datasets help clarify the discrepancy between the
estimated number of 3+ rental housing units (~8,057) and the number of ‘identified’ active
Utility accounts in 3+ rental housing (~5,050).
Latest Vacancy Rate
For the December 2021 data reporting cycle, the multifamily rental vacancy number is 1.13%
percent (based on reconciled data source). This number is significantly lower than previous
years’ reporting but is considered more accurate than the December 2020 reporting cycle as
discussed in the preceding paragraphs.

Summary Title: Supplemental Report - Objective Urban Lot Split Standards, Standards for Off-Site Improvements
Title: Adoption of an Interim Ordinance Establishing Objective Urban Lot Split Standards and Further Refinements to SB 9 Development Standards; Authorizing the Public Works Director to Publish Objective Standards Regarding Adjacent Improvements Related to SB 9 Projects; and Direction Regarding Listing Properties Eligible for Historic Status.
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Planning and Development Services
Supplemental Report - Item 10
MEETING DATE: MARCH 21, 2021
TO: HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JONATHAN LAIT, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF AN INTERIM ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING OBJECTIVE
URBAN LOT SPLIT STANDARDS AND FURTHER REFINEMENTS TO SB 9
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS; AUTHORIZING THE PUBLIC WORKS
DIRECTOR TO PUBLISH OBJECTIVE STANDARDS REGARDING ADJACENT
IMPROVEMENTS RELATED TO SB 9 PROJECTS; AND DIRECTION
REGARDING LISTING PROPERTIES ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC STATUS.
This memorandum explains staff's proposed modification to Agenda Item 10, Attachment 10.b,
the draft ordinance amending Chapters 18.42 (Standard for Special Uses) and 21.10 (Parcel
13
Packet Pg. 249
City of Palo Alto Page 2
Maps for Urban Lot Splits) to implement SB 9.
The initial version of the draft ordinance would amend Section 21.10.040 (General
Requirements) to add paragraphs (f) through (j) as additional requirements for ministerial
approval of an urban lot split for single family lots in an R-1 district (or subdistrict) or R-E
district. Paragraph (f) would allow the Director of Public Works to promulgate standards for
adjacent public improvements, such as curb cuts and sidewalks, in relation to an urban lot split.
After further discussion among staff from Public Works, Planning and Development Services,
and the City Attorney's Office, staff proposes revising the draft ordinance to delete paragraph
(f) from the proposed additions to Section 21.10.040 General Requirements and insert that
language as a new subsection (8) of paragraph (e) of Section 18.42.180 (Interim Standards for
Two Units on Single Family Zoned Lots Pursuant to Senate Bill 9).
The rationale for this revision is that SB9 prohibits the City from imposing "regulations that
require dedications of rights-of-way or the construction of offsite improvements for the parcels
being created as a condition of issuing a parcel map for an urban lot split." (emphasis added)
However, SB 9 does allow the City to impose objective zoning standards, objective subdivision
standards, and objective design review criteria. In other words, while SB 9 limits the City's
discretion in reviewing a proposed urban lot split, it does allow the City to impose additional
objective standards on the development of the resulting lots.
Thus, because urban lot splits may be sought and approved without regard to a specific
development scenario, the specific impacts on adjacent public improvements may not be
known until such time that the property owner proposes a project for approval. The proposed
revision to the draft ordinance allows the Director of Public Works to promulgate development
standards for adjacent public improvements and clarifies that the development standards
would be applied at this later stage, when the project's impacts may be more accurately
evaluated, while also adhering to SB 9’s substantive requirements for ministerial approval of
urban lot splits and development of single family zoned lots.

Ordinance No. ______
Ordinance of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Modifying Chapters 18.42 (Standard for Special Uses) and 21.10 (Parcel Maps for Urban Lot Splits) of the
Palo Alto Municipal Code to Further Implement Senate Bill 9 The Council of the City of Palo Alto ORDAINS as follows: SECTION 1. Findings and declarations. The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law Senate Bill 9 (SB 9), which requires, among other things, that local agencies ministerially approve both two-unit construction and urban lot splits on single-family zoned lots.
B. SB 9 authorizes the creation of lots as small as 1,200 square feet and requires approval of two residential units of at least 800 square feet (for a total of 1,600 square feet) each on such lots. This represents a significant departure from existing minimum lot sizes and development standards in Palo Alto’s single-family zones.
C. SB 9 authorizes local jurisdictions to apply objective zoning standards, objective subdivision standards, and objective design standards, subject to certain limitations in statute.
D. On January 24, 2022, the City Council adopted Interim Ordinance No. 5542.
E. The City Council now desires to modify Interim Ordinance No. 5542 to clarify its terms and to adopt additional standards for lot splits.
F. There is insufficient time for consideration of and recommendation on objective standards related to SB 9 by the Planning and Transportation Commission (PTC) prior to action by the City Council. The Council therefore declares that an interim ordinance, pursuant to Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) Section 18.80.090 is an appropriate measure to adopt standards, pending consideration of a permanent ordinance by the PTC.
SECTION 2. Section 18.42.180 (Interim Standards for Two Units on Single Family Zoned Lots Pursuant to Senate Bill 9) of Chapter 18.42 (Standards for Special Uses) of Title 18 (Zoning) of the Palo Alto Municipal Code is amended to read as follows: 18.42.180 Interim Standards for Two Units on Single Family Zoned Lots Pursuant to Senate Bill 9.

(2) All construction pursuant to this section shall comply with objective design standards adopted by the City Council. However, an applicant seeking to deviate from the objective design standards (except to the extent necessary to construct a unit of 800 square feet) may elect to submit an application under the base requirements of Chapters 18.10, or 18.12, including, if applicable, Single Family Individual Review.
(3) If the application of any development standard or design standard would necessarily require that one or more proposed units be less than 800 square feet, such standard shall be relaxed to the minimum extent necessary to allow construction of a unit or units of at least 800 square feet. The Director may publish regulations governing the order in which objective standards shall be waived or relaxed in such circumstances.
(4) Setbacks from side and rear property lines, including street-side property lines, shall be no less than four feet, except in the case of existing non-complying structures or structures reconstructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing structure, in which case existing setbacks less than four feet may be maintained. No setback is required from an internal lot line newly created pursuant to Chapter 21.10, for adjacent or connected structures separated by the new lot line, provided that the structures meet building code safety standards and are sufficient to allow separate conveyance.
(5) Off-street parking shall be provided pursuant to Chapters 18.52 and 18.54. (6) In the event that a project is proposed on a site that has been subject to an
Urban Lot Split under Chapter 21.10, and the project would result in three or more detached units across the two parcels created by the urban lot split, any new units shall not exceed 800 square feet.
(7) Accessory structures, such as garages and shed are permitted consistent with the provisions of the zoning district; however, no accessory structure shall have a floor area exceeding 500 square feet.
(8) The Director of Public Works may promulgate standards for adjacent public improvements, such as curb cuts and sidewalks, in relation to development pursuant to this Section.
[. . .] SECTION 3. Sections 21.10.030 (Applicability), 21.10.040 (General Requirements), and 21.10.050 (Application and Review of an Urban Lot Split) of Chapter 21.10 (Urban Lot Splits) of Title 21 (Subdivisions and Other Divisions of land) of the Palo Alto Municipal Code are amended to read as follows:

Summary Title: Housing Element Sites
Title: Approve the Housing Element Working Group and Planning and Transportation Commission Recommendations for the 2023-31 Housing Element Sites and Their Associated Unit Yields as Well as Potential Feedback on Housing Element Policies and Programs, or Other Housing-Related Direction to Staff.
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Planning and Development Services
Recommendation:
The Planning and Transportation Commission (PTC) recommend City Council approve the Housing
Element Working Group recommendations for 2023-31 Housing Element sites and their associated unit
yields (in Attachment A and summarized in Table 3) with the following modifications:
1. Faith Based Institutions Strategy: Require units to be 100% affordable units.
2. City-owned Parking Lots Strategy: Include strategy in the sites list and its 168 unit yield,
providing they are 100% affordable units.
3. General Manufacturing (GM) Zone Strategy: Encourage Council to plan retail, transit, schools,
bike lanes, and parks to support the new neighborhood.
4. General Manufacturing (GM) Zone Strategy: Council to consider changing portions of the GM
zoned sites to a multifamily zone, eliminating general manufacturing uses and permitting
multifamily residential use more broadly in this area.
5. Research, Office, Limited Manufacturing (ROLM) Zone Strategy: Encourage Council to plan retail,
transit, schools, bike lanes and parks to support the new neighborhood.
6. Transit Center Strategy: Increase the unit yield of the Transit Center from 180 units to 270 units.
7. Transit Center Strategy: The residential units on this site should be primarily developed as
affordable units.
In addition, staff welcome any additional direction on housing policies and programs that City Council
wishes to provide.
Executive Summary:
The City is in the process of preparing its 2023-31 Housing Element. Since April 2021, City staff have
been working with the Housing Element Working Group (Working Group) in identifying sufficient sites to
14
Packet Pg. 256
City of Palo Alto Page 2
accommodate the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 6,086 units. In January 2022, the
Working Group concluded its site selection process by successfully identifying over 460 sites to
accommodate the City’s RHNA. The PTC considered the Working Group’s recommendations at its
February 9 and February 23 meetings.
The Working Group sites selection process was lengthy and complex. The Working Group employed
eight site selection strategies to identify sufficient sites. Underlying the strategies was the Working
Group’s focus on locating sites near public transit as well as protecting the low-density districts and
neighborhoods. Overall, the PTC was supportive of the Working Group’s site selection strategies and
identified sites. The PTC recommended some modifications to the Working Group’s recommendations
and those are discussed in detail in this report.
Since PTC review, staff has continued its refinement of the site selection database and provides those
updates along with the PTC recommendation discussed later in this report.
Background:
Since 1969, the State has required all local jurisdictions to adequately plan to meet the current and
future housing needs of everyone in the community. Local jurisdictions meet this requirement by
adopting housing elements as part of their “general plan” or in the City’s case, the Palo Alto
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan serves as the City’s "blueprint" for how the city will grow
and develop.
The Housing Element is one of the eight mandated elements1 in the Comprehensive Plan and the only
element that requires certification by the State. This Housing Element covers a period of eight years
from 2023-31, also known as the 6th Cycle. The City’s current Housing Element covers years 2015-23 (5th
Cycle).
California’s housing element law requires local governments to adopt plans and regulatory systems
providing opportunities for housing development. A housing supportive regulatory environment helps
the private housing market to address housing needs of Californians. As a result, housing policy in
California rests largely on the effective implementation of local general plans and in particular, local
housing elements.
For more information about Housing Element requirements, please see the staff report2 prepared for
the City Council Study Session on May 10, 2021.
Discussion:
This discussion briefly summarizes the actions and recommendations by the different advisory bodies
that have been involved in the site selection process.
1 State law mandates inclusion of eight elements in general plans: land use, transportation, conservation, noise,
open space, safety, housing, and most recently, environmental justice. Jurisdictions may elect to include additional
elements. 2 https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/files/assets/public/agendas-minutes-reports/reports/city-manager-reports-

Accommodating RHNA
As mentioned, the City’s 6th Cycle RHNA is 6,086 units. The units are broken down into four income
categories as outlined in Table 1. They are as follows:
Table 1: 2023-31 RHNA by Income Category
2023-31 Regional Housing Needs Allocation by Income
Very Low Low Moderate Above Moderate Total
1,556 896 1,013 2,621 6,086
The new RHNA allocation is a threefold increase in units compared to the 5th Cycle of 1,988 units. The
State also requires the City to include a “No Net Loss” buffer; it requires that the jurisdiction not only
plan for the RHNA figure but a certain number of units above what is required, to ensure the jurisdiction
can meet its RHNA at any time. Staff recommended another 609 units, or 10% of the RHNA total, as the
buffer. Therefore, the Working Group was tasked with identifying sufficient sites to accommodate a
total of 6,695 units.
Housing Element Working Group
Before commencing the site selection process, staff presented the Working Group the multitude of new
Housing Element requirements, including the requirement for ‘no net loss’ as well as sites selection
requirements. The State has passed additional legislation that imposes more requirements for site
selection, making identification of sites more complex and challenging. For more details about the
additional site requirements/legislation, please see the May 10, 2021 Joint PTC/Council Study Session
Report.3
Site Selection Process
After the formation of the Working Group in April 2021, efforts focused on the site selection process.
Staff began working with the Working Group to formulate and prioritize preferred site selection
strategies. With the preferred site selection strategies in place, staff and the Working Group began
identifying potential sites.
The Working Group utilized a number of strategies for site identification. Table 2 provides a brief
summary of each selected strategies used to help identify sufficient sites to meet the City’s RHNA.
Throughout the process, the Working Group was deliberate in ensuring the protection of low-density
zones and neighborhoods. In addition, the Working Group was mindful of the City’s development
standards, especially regarding height and parking.

land use entitlements be applied towards RHNA.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) The State allows projected ADU production be applied towards
RHNA.
Multifamily Allowed (MFA) Identified multifamily sites that already have the maximum
zoning density.
Upzoning Increasing densities on sites that currently allow for
multifamily residential uses.
Caltrain Stations Increase densities within ½ mile of the City Caltrain stations,
excluding single family zoned properties.
Transit Corridor Increase densities within ½ mile of transit corridors (El Camino
Real and Alma St.)
Faith Based Institutions Use of faith based institution parking lots for multifamily
housing.
General Manufacturing (GM) District Reintroducing residential use in the GM zone district.
Research, Office and Limited
Manufacturing Zone (ROLM) District
Identifying certain ROLM zoned sites for housing.
Stanford-proposed Properties Sites identified as suitable for housing development on land
owned by Stanford University.
Staff suggested Sites Sites that had previous submitted residential land use
applications which shows developer interest on the site.
For more detailed information about each of the strategies, please see the January 31, 2022 Council
Informational Report.4
From these site selection strategies, the Working Group was able to identify sufficient sites to
accommodate over 6,700 units. The Working Group recommendations, including unit yields for each
strategy, can be found in Table 3. For a current list of sites by strategy, please see Attachment A.
Also, an interactive mapping tool has been created to help the community familiarize themselves with
the sites. To review individual sites, staff suggests using the mapping too. The mapping tool can be
found on the City’s housing element website at www.paloaltohousingelement.com.
No Net Loss Buffer
As mentioned, the State requires a No Net Loss unit buffer. The State suggests a buffer equal to 15-30%
of the jurisdictions RHNA requirement. However, staff has recommended using a 10% buffer. Staff
recommends a 10% buffer for the following reasons:
1. A 10% buffer was used for the 5th cycle Housing Element.
2. Sites identified in the 6th cycle Housing Element may be subject to additional requirements if
carried over to future cycles. Therefore, to limit exposure, a smaller percentage buffer is
recommended than the State suggested percentages.

agendas-minutes/2022/20220131/20220131pccsm-amended.pdf#page=26
14
Packet Pg. 259
City of Palo Alto Page 5
3. Staff used a more conservative unit yield calculation/projection for each identified site. So if an
identified site is developed, it should be likely that it would meet the conservative project yield
if not produce more housing than projected. This diminishes the need for a larger buffer.
The Working Group agreed with staff’s recommendation and wished to keep the buffer as close to 10%
as possible. Staff stated that they would keep the buffer at 10% unless directed otherwise by the PTC or
City Council.
Lower Income Carry Over Sites and By Right Requirements
Carry over sites is a term used for those identified sites in the 4th and 5th cycle Housing Elements that are
proposed to be “carried over” or used to meet the 6th Cycle RHNA. These sites are mentioned because
the State has placed a development “by-right” requirement on certain carry-over sites. The by-right
provision applies to those carry over sites that are designated to help meet its lower income RHNA. As
part of the site analysis for HCD, the City must show sufficient sites to meet its lower income RHNA
requirement. A site is considered appropriate as a lower-income site if it is larger than half acre with a
density of 30 dwelling units/acre or higher. There are 11 properties in the proposed housing site
inventory (upzoning strategy) that would be subject to by-right development totaling 274 units.
The by right requirements apply when a residential development proposes at least 20% of the units as
affordable. The by-right requirement allows the City to perform design review of the project based only
on compliance with objective standards. The City could not conduct any other review, including
environmental.
Staff recently learned that these 11 properties would be eligible for by-right review because the City has
elected to complete state-mandated rezoning requirements after the statutory deadline of January
2023. The Information Report to Council referenced earlier provides more information on this schedule
change, which was in direct response to a shift at HCD regarding the public review requirements of draft
and final Housing Element documents. The PTC and Working Group did not have an opportunity to
weigh in this topic as staff only recently received confirmation of this issue. To the extent the Council
has concerns about these parcels being redeveloped in this manner, they could be removed from the list
and replaced as necessary with sites from the reserve list staff has prepared. However, it is worth noting
that the City Council is expected to adopt objective development standards for residential project in
commercial zones within the next couple months that may render this concern moot.
City Owned Parking Lots
Please note that the Working Group had included the use of City-owned parking lots and its associated
yield of 168 units as an initial strategy. However, after much deliberation, the Working Group did not
recommend including City Owned Parking lots for inclusion in the housing sites inventory. Members of
the Working Group were concerned about the loss of public parking facilities. They were concerned that
if residential use was developed on a City-owned parking lot, there would not be a guarantee that the
existing parking would be replaced. In addition, there was some disagreement about whether it should
be 100% affordable housing or market rate housing; this also contributed to the split vote.
Reserve List
14
Packet Pg. 260
City of Palo Alto Page 6
Prior to accepting GM and ROLM zoned sites as a strategy, staff and the Working Group identified a
large number of smaller sized (<0.5 acres) non-vacant sites throughout the City to help meet its RHNA.
However, once the Working Group approved using GM and ROLM sites and its 1,500 unit yield, the
collective unit yield of all the identified sites was approximately 2,000 units more than the City’s target
of 6,795 units. Because there were more sites than needed, staff proposed shifting extra sites into a
“reserve list” and removing them from the City’s formal housing sites list. HCD prefers larger sized sites
for the inventory since they are more conducive for affordable housing development. The reserve list is
mostly comprised of 240 smaller sites with a collective yield of approximately 2,000 units. This reserve
list will not be included in the Housing Element. The reserve list can be used to swap out sites from the
primary list that are not supported, help replenish the buffer, or for potential sites for future housing
elements.
Housing Element Ad Hoc Committee
Staff has also met bi-monthly with the Housing Element Ad Hoc Committee (Ad Hoc) to provide
members with Working Group progress updates. The Ad Hoc provided comments and suggestions for
each site selection strategy. They were supportive with the Working Group’s approach and process. The
Ad Hoc express some willingness to modestly increase height at some strategic locations but expressed
concern about height increases along El Camino Real and in particular two Stanford owned sites near
the transit center and along El Camino real (the McDonald’s site) that were being contemplated by
Stanford as sites that might benefit from even greater height allowances.
Planning and Transportation Commission Recommendations
On January 12, 2022, the PTC conducted a Housing Element Study Session to learn the status of the
Housing Element Update. The study session provided background Housing Element information and
requirements, as well as a synopsis of the Working Group site selection process. The study session also
acted as a precursor or foundation for the PTC’s formal review on February 9, 2022. While the Working
Group did not complete all its recommendations until the next day (January 13, 2022), the PTC was
provided a detailed summary of the Working Groups actions up to that point.
Table 3 below summarizes the Working Group’s final recommendations as well as the PTC’s
recommendations for comparison. Generally, the PTC accepted the Working Group recommendations.
Any difference between the Working Group and PTC recommendation has been highlighted along with a
brief explanation about the change. The areas that the PTC were not in alignment with the Working
Group are as follows:
a. The PTC included City-owned parking lots and its proposed 168 units. The Working Group had
elected not to include City-owned parking lots.
b. The PTC increased the unit yield at that Stanford University proposed Transit Center site to 270
units instead of the Working Group recommended 180 units.
Additional Administrative Changes
While the Council is considering approving the site selection strategies and associated yields, please
note that this sites list is still being refined. For example, three land use applications have been
submitted post PTC review yielding an additional 225 units. Additionally, staff continues to review and
update the housing sites inventory to eliminate errors and generally clean up the data to make sure sites

Other PTC discussions
In addition to recommending site strategies and their associated yields, the PTC made additional
recommendations for certain strategies. For the Upzone strategy, there was discussion to investigate
extending RM-30 zoning development standards to RM-40 zoning including height transition, parking
and open space requirements. There was a motion to include this recommendation but the motion
failed 2-5. The PTC did unanimously approve a recommendation that all units developed on the faith
based institution sites and the City-owned parking lots be 100% affordable. Along similar lines, the PTC
recommended that the units developed at the Transit Center site be primarily affordable units. That
recommendation passed with a 4-3 vote. In approving the strategy to include housing sites in the GM
and ROLM zone districts, the PTC also unanimously approved a recommendation to encourage the
Council to plan retail, transit, schools, bike lanes and parks to support new neighborhoods in those
zones. Lastly, the PTC unanimously approved a recommendation for Council to consider rezoning
segments of GM sites for solely multifamily use instead of integrating multifamily residential use in the
GM zone.
Rezoning Approved Sites
Once the sites have been approved by Council, those affected sites will need to go through the standard
rezoning process as identified for each strategy (e.g. upzone RM-20 to RM-30). The staff work associated
with the rezoning of sites will begin in late spring/early summer. The revision of the General
Manufacturing (GM) zone to allow housing development is intended to be zonewide. For all other
required rezonings, it will be for just the sites identified on the approved list; it will be site specific and
not zonewide. For example, the zone change from RM-20 to RM-30 will only occur on sites listed on
designated housing sites within the “Upzoning” strategy.
Summary of Key Issues:
Council is being asked to endorse the recommended housing sites and associated yields to meet the
RHNA obligation. In this action, please consider:
• A site is not precluded from housing development if it is not listed on the Housing Element sites
list.
• If a site not on the list were to develop housing, those units would all count towards meeting
the City’s RHNA goal.
• Low-density sites (i.e. R-1, R-2, RMD) were not identified as housing opportunity sites
(exception: faith-based institutions).
14
Packet Pg. 263
City of Palo Alto Page 9
• The proposed “buffer” of 10% could be marginally increased with some of the additional sites
listed in Table 3 for added buffer, but it is not required.
• The reserve list has identified qualified sites with approximately 2,000 units that could be used
to meet RHNA if Council were to remove sites from the recommended list.
• There are 16 “carry-over” parcels from the 5th Cycle where the development by-right provision
would apply if a code-compliant project with 20% affordable units on-site was proposed. The
Council could elect to remove some or all of those sites if the by-right provision is a concern.
Replacement sites would be selected from the Reserve list.
Policy Implications:
The Housing Element is a state mandated document that will guide housing development in the City
through 2031 through its goals, policies and programs. These policies and programs will not only spur
housing production in the City but will also focus on fair housing, maintaining and monitoring the site
inventory, and focus on the protection of vulnerable groups.
The Working Group is currently working on Housing Element Policies and Programs to address these
issues and requirements. The City Council is scheduled to review those policies and programs in June
2022, however, as part of this discussion, the Council may provide some initial guidance to staff and
Working Group on housing policies that should be incorporated into this plan as appropriate.
Tentative Timeline:
Following Council’s endorsement of a list of housing sites, staff will begin work related to the
environmental review and continue its work with the Working Group to identify housing policies and
programs for inclusion in the Housing Element. The PTC and City Council will similarly weigh in on this
effort. The State’s deadline to complete the Housing Element is January 31, 2023.
Housing Element:
March 2022 Council review of Sites
April/May 2022 PTC review of Housing Element Policies and Programs
June 2022 Council review of the Housing Element Policies and Programs
June 2022 30-day review of Administrative Draft

August 2023 HCD Certification
Stakeholder Engagement:
City staff has performed extensive public outreach for Housing Element update. The City has created a
Housing Element Update website where the public can access all City Housing Element meetings as well
as informational resources, held two community meetings with another scheduled for May to present
14
Packet Pg. 264
City of Palo Alto Page 10
different aspects of the Housing Element and circulated an online housing survey that received over 430
responses. In addition, as the City prepares its Housing Element policies and programs, meetings are
being conducted with focus groups including renters, seniors, and persons with disabilities for their
input. Future outreach activities include going to the Farmer’s Market and May Fete parade to inform
the public about the Housing Element Update.
Environmental Review:
The completed 2023-31 Housing Element is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The associated work for the update process is divided into two separate actions, the adoption of the
Housing Element document and the approval of associated rezoning requirements. The adoption of the
Housing Element (comprised of housing sites selection and policies and programs) requires an
Addendum to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan EIR. The required rezoning action/s require the preparation
of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR). The respective CEQA documents will be
completed prior to the related final PTC and Council actions.
