Staff Report
Department: Planning and
Community Environment
Subject: 180 EI Camino Real [12PLN-00064]: Request by Fergus, Garber, Young
Architects, on behalf of the Leland Stanford Junior University, for a Minor
Architectural Review of fa<;ade improvements and signage for a commercial
recreation use for Soulcycle at the Stanford Shopping Center. Zone District:
CC (Community Commercial). Environmental Assessment: Exempt from the
provisions of CEQ A, 15301 (Existing Facilities).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Architectural Review Board (ARB) recommend the Director of Planning
and Community Environment approve the proposed project based upon the Architectural Review
Findings (Attachment A) and conditions of approval (Attachment B) attached to the staff report.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proj ect is a fa<;ade remodel of an existing one story tenant space (plus a partial mezzanine) and
the installation of signage to establish "SoulCycle" at the eastern portion of the Stanford Shopping
Center. The storefront is approximately 24 feet 1 ~ inches in length and faces El Camino Real across
a surface parking lot. Adjacent stores are the "Pink Berry" store to the right and "The Body Shop" to
the left. Associated with this Architectural Review application is a . request for a Conditional Use
Permit to allow commercial recreation use. The proposed use is compatible with the shopping center
and adequate parking is provided.
DISCUSSION
Previous ARB Hearing ..... -
The project was initially reviewed as a formal application at the May 2, 2013 Architectural Review
Board hearing. The ARB was generally supportive of the remodel, but had concerns about the
proposed height increase for the parapet and the location of the wall sign. The ARB voted to
continue its review to the consent calendar agenda (by a vote of 4-0-0-1) to allow the applicant to
revise the submittal. ARB comments and the applicant's responses are described below:
1. Modify the height of the new fa<;ade so it does not increase the effective height of the
building and is consistent with the adjacent tenant sp~ces.
A revised fa<;ade is shown on plan sheet A240. The fa<;ade measures 25 feet 3 inches to the top of
Page 1
the parapet so that it does not exceed the existing building height. Accordingly, the proportions of
the fa9ade were modified to fit the new dimensions. The plaster finished plywood box fa9ade
measures 12 feet 9 Y2 inches tall by 20 feet 8 inches wide. The building design remains the same.
The color and material sample board will be displayed in the Council Chambers at the ARB hearing.
2. Explore relocating the wall sign to the bottom of the f~ade.
The revised plan sheet A240 shows the location of the wall sign at the top left comer of the fa9ade,
similar to the original proposal. At 1 foot -6 inches in height and 12 feet -1f4 inch in length, the sign
would have a total area of 18.03 square feet; this would be the same size as the original submittal.
The cutout letters would be 1 foot -3/8 inch deep and would be a cool gray color (Pantone # 11 C).
Photos of the fa9ade fronl the parking lot illustrating alternate perspectives are provided, as are two
renderings showing the proposed project within the context of the adjacent storefronts. The first
rendering on plan sheet A240 shows the applicant's preferred sign location at the top left side of the
elevation. The second rendering on plan sheet A241 shows an alternate wall sign location above the
storefront on the right side of the elevation per the Board's request. Although the rendering is not
drawn to scale, it would appear that the sign's measurement would be the same as the sign that
would be placed at the top left comer. Given the placement of the more recently storefront projects,
such as Chipotle, Urban Outfitters and Bath and Body Works, staff recommends that the ARB
. recommend the Director approve the version with the sign above the storefront. Staff believes this
placement is also preferable, because this alternate placement is more pedestrian-oriented. Condition
of approval number 6, in Attachment B, reflect staff s recommendation. Condition of approval
number 7 requires on site review of the intensity and color of the proposed LED lights.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project would be an alteration to an existing facility and new construction not exceeding
10,000 square feet qualifying for a Class 3 Categorical Exemption per section 15301 of the
California Environmental Quality Act.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD STANDARDS FOR REVIEW
180 El Camino Real, Sou1cycle
File No. 13PLN-00064
The design and architecture of the proposed improvements, as conditioned, furthers the goals and
purposes of the ARB ordinances as it complies with the Architectural Review findings, as
required in Chapter 18.76.020 of the PAMC.
1) The design is consistent and compatible with the applicable elements of the city's
Comprehensive Plan, particularly: Policy L-18: Encourage the upgrading and
revitalization of selected Centers in a manner that is compatible with the character of
surrounding neighborhoods; Policy L-26: Maintain Stanford Shopping Center as one of
the Bay Area's premiere regional shopping centers. Encourage any new development at
the center to occur through infill, including development on existing surface parking lots;
and Policy B-22: Work with Stanford University to ensure that the Stanford Shopping
Center is sustained as a distinctive, competitive, high quality regional shopping center.
2) The design is compatible with the immediate environment of the site, namely, with the
architecture of other storefronts within the Stanford Shopping Center.
3) The design is appropriate to the function of the project in that it accommodates a retail
use while encouraging the pedestrian attributes of the mall.
4) In areas considered by the Board as having a unified design character, the design is
compatible with such character, in that the remodeled storefront will be consistent with
other recently remodeled storefronts within the mall.
6) The design is compatible with approved improvements both on and off the site; both with
the newly designed storefronts and original storefronts still in place in the mall.
12) The materials, textures, colors and details of construction and plant materials are an
appropriate expression to the design and function and whether the same are compatible
with the adj acent and neighboring structures, landscape elements and functions in that the
materials are of high quality and appropriately express the use of the space. The space
incorporates similar details and colors of the surrounding spaces while still maintaining a
unique design.
ARB standards #5, 7-11 and 13-15 are not applicable to the project.

Staff Report
Agenda Date: May 16,2013
To: Architectural Review Board
From: Margaret Netto, Contract Planner Department: Planning and
Community Environment
Subject: 711 El Camino Real [13PLN-000I71-Request by HKS on behalf of Pacific Hotel
Management LLC for Architectural Review of the demolition of a 3,200
sq.ft. commercial building and construction of a new 4-story, 22,957 sq.ft. hotel
with 23 guest units, including one level partially submerged parking facility, on a
0.26 acre site in the Service Commercial (CS) Zoning District. Environmental
Assessment: A draft Initial Study and Negative Declaration have been prepared
and the public comment period is April 26, 2013 to May 26, 2013.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Architectural Review Board (ARB) reconunend approval of the proposed
project based upon the Architectural Review and context-based findings contained in Attachment
A, and subject to the conditions of approval contained in Attachment B.
BACKGROUND
Previous ARB Review
On May 24, 2012, the Architectural Review Board conducted a preliminary review of the project
application.
The ARB was supportive of the project, and had the following concerns and suggestions to
improve the design:
• Relocate the mechanical penthouse screen to the east end of the building so the recreation
area faces EI Camino Real;
• Activate the entry area with a prominent entry and signage;
• Access to the hotel could be problenlatic, and there is concern with circulation;
• The ARB has a concern about the appearance of the exterior access ramp.
The applicant has revised the project design to address these comments, and has provided a
description (Attachment C).
13PLN-OOO 17 Page 1 of6
SITE INFORMATION
The project site is located at the south east corner of EI Camino Real and Wells Avenue. To
the south and to the east of the site is a landscape area associated with the Palo Alto Medical
Foundation campus. Across Wells Avenue to the north is the Westin Hotel and across EI
Camino Real to the west is the Arboretum of the Stanford University campus. The property
is irregularly shaped parcel, with approximately 106 lineal feet of frontage on EI Camino
Real and 150 lineal feet of frontage on Wells Avenue. The site is 11,533 square feet in area
and is currently zoned Service Commercial (CS). The property was occupied by the Palo Alto
Pet Hospital for several decades. There are two vacant wood structures on the property
comprising approximately 3,200 square feet in floor area. These would be removed.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is infill development on an 11,533 square foot parcel at 711 EI Camino Real,
involving the demolition of 3,200 square feet of existing commercial floor area (Palo Alto Pet
Hospital) and construction of 22,957 square feet of new floor area to establish a 50 foot tall, 4-
story, 23-unit hotel with a partially underground parking facilities (5 to 6 feet below grade)
providing 23 automobile spaces. The parking facility would be accessed by a 28' -6" driveway
with entry and exit ramps on Wells Avenue at the east end of the property line. The front entrance
to the hotel would be on Wells Avenue, set back 25 feet from the front property line. The entrance
would feature a front canopy for guest drop-offs.
The hotel design incorporates an articulated building base, body and roof. The exterior finish
materials at the upper level floors are proposed to be stucco .. The first floor walls would be
finished with high quality, natural limestone. The primary color on the upper level stucco plaster
walls would be a beige color, "Heartsmere"; a secondary, brown body color would be employed
on the 4th level walls and roof top, "Capilano Bridge". The color scheme employs medium
neutral tones as a base, with deeply saturated accent colors to highlight certain areas.
The first floor of the hotel would include an arrival vestibule, a restaurant/bar open to the public, a
dining room and pantry for hotel guests only, and back of the house operations such as a
housekeeping area, a manager's office and an employee lounge. Guests in the lounge and dining
room would have access to the pantry and outdoor dining room terrace. The second floor would
have seven, two-room suites (living room and bedroom) and an exercise room. The third and
fourth floors would have seven suites and one guest room each for a total of 21 suites and two
guestrooms. Hotel guests would have access to the roof deck, which would feature a small
swimming pool, a whirlpool, a fire pit, an accessible restroom, and pool furniture.
DISCUSSION
Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Compliance
A Zoning Compliance Table is attached to this report (Attachment E) and is a table of the
applicable Comprehensive Plan Policies (Attachment F).
Floor Area Ratio, Height and Setbacks
The project complies with the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) allowed under the CS zone district. The
CS zone allows for an FAR of 2.0: 1 for a hotel. The total building area is 22,957 square feet
(1.98: 1 FAR). The project complies with the CS zone height. The height of the hotel is 50 feet,
13PLN-00017 Page 2 of6
measured to the top of the parapet, which complies with the CS zone district height limit. A
mechanical equipment enclosure, an elevator penthouse and an ADA accessible restroom would
exceed 50 feet but these areas are not habitable areas. Section 18.40.090 of the Palo Alto
Municipal Code permits this type of height exception (without a Design Enhancement Exception)
so long as the feature does not extend more than 15 feet above the 50 foot maximum height limit.
The maximum height of the tallest mechanical screen is 63' -5" which is within the allowable
height exception for the CS zone. The building setbacks would be compliant. The sidewalk and
landscaping for the two frontages are described in the following section and shown on plans.
EI Camino Real Development
Three guidelines are applicable to this site: (1) EI Camino Real Design Guidelines (ECR
Guidelines), (2) South EI Camino Real Guidelines, recommended by ARB in 2002 (South ECR
Guidelines), and (3) EI Camino Real Master Schematic Design Plan, 2003 Draft (Design Plan).
South ECR Guidelines: The project site is located within the Hotel Area, a corridor area, as
defined by the South EI Camino Real Design Guidelines (Guidelines). It is not considered a
strategic site within the Hotel Area. The area is characterized by large and small-scale hotels as
well as auto-oriented retail commercial uses. Although presently pedestrian activity is light, the
Guidelines look toward accommodating such activity and creating an interesting gateway into the
City. With that in mind the Guidelines indicate new buildings should front EI Camino Real with
entries fronting the street or clearly visible from the street providing recognizable and easily
accessible entries for both pedestrians and vehicular arrivals. The project proposal complies with
many of the specific Guidelines for the Hotel area relative to site planning and design. The
Guidelines indicate that all buildings should have entries facing EI Camino Real. The proposed
hotel entry faces on Wells A venue; however, the main entry is visible from EI Camino Real and is
highlighted by an entrance canopy.
• Guideline 3.1.2 states "the design of the sidewalk setback should create an urban
character"; the hotel would be set back from EI Camino Real to provide a 12 foot wide
effective sidewalk width (curb face to building, required by Zoning Code Section
18.16.060). An outdoor dining terrace, facing EI Camino Real, is proposed to be
surrounded by landscaping adjacent to the EI Camino Real and Wells sidewalks. The
dining area would be slightly elevated (3.5 feet) above EI Camino Real. The terrace is set
back, still providing for a 6-foot wide landscape buffer and 12-foot wide sidewalk width.
The street side setback of the building, from Wells Avenue right of way, is five feet (from
the property line), to provide an effective sidewalk width of 12-feet along Wells Avenue.
• Guideline 3.1.8 notes "new buildings should relate to and compliment surrounding
buildings and street frontages" and "projects should relate to adjacent buildings with
complimentary building orientations and compatible landscaping." The proposed design
would complement the Westin Hotel to the north with the proposed angled presentation;
however the proposed building would not meet Guideline 4.1.6, which states, "buildings
facing EI Camino Real should be oriented parallel to the ECR right of way to create a
cohesive well-defined street." As noted, the entry would be visible from EI Camino Real.
The proposed hotel would be of similar height and scale as the adjacent Westin Hotel and
the Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAM F) that flank the property on either side. The
13PLN-OOO 17 Page 3 of6
• Colors: "More than three colors on a structure will make it incompatible with the
surroundings. Using bright colors, such as reds, yellows, purples and greens as the
predominant color on a structure may make it incompatible with the surroundings. The
ARB usually feels these colors are used to attract attention." The applicant is proposing
neutral colors (a materials board will be presented at the hearing).
Parking Requirements
According to the Palo Alto Municipal Code, Section 18.52.040, a hotel is required to provide
one parking space per guestroom. There are 18 spaces made proposed in one-level of
underground parking, with an additional 5 spaces for double parking for the valet service. This
equates to a total of 23 spaces, which satisfies the parking requirement. The project will
provide the necessary parking requirements as required by the City of Palo Alto Zoning
Ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An Initial Study Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was prepared for the proposal (Attachment G). Based upon
the IS/MND, it was determined that the project would not have a significant adverse impact on the
environment. The IS/MND was available for public review beginning April 26, 2013 and the
review period ends May 26, 2013. As of the preparation of this staff report, no comments have
been received. Comments received through May 26, 2013 will be considered by the Director of
Planning and Community Environment prior to rendering a decision on the ARB application
(Attachment F).

CONTEXT-BASED DESIGN CONSIDERATIONSIFINDINGS
711 EI Camino Real
13PLN-00017
Pursuant to PAMC 18.l3.060(b), in addition to the findings for Architectural Review
contained in PAMC 18.76.020(d), the following additional findings have been made in
the affirmative:
1) Pedestrian and Bicycle Environment. The design of new projects shall promote
pedestrian walkability, a bicycle friendly environment, and connectivity through
design elements. The proposed building provides landscaping, decorative paving
at the lobby entry and terraced dining creating an inviting and active pedestrian
environment.
2) Street Building Facades. Street facades shall be designed to provide a strong
relationship with the sidewalk and the street (s), to create an environment that
supports and encourages pedestrian activity through design elements. The
proposed effective sidewalk width would be 12 feet for most of the building
contributing to an active pedestrian oriented area.
3) Massing and Setbacks. Buildings shall be designed to minimize massing and
conform to proper setbacks. The building fayade is generally consistent with
nearby building facades and setbacks. The proposal would complement the
surrounding buildings.
4) Low Density Residential Transitions. Where new projects are built abutting
existing lower scale residential development, care shall be taken to respect the
scale and privacy of neighboring properties. This finding would not apply since
the project is not located adjacent to residential properties.
5) Project Open Space: Private and public open space shall be provided so that it is
usable for the residents and visitors of the site. The project would not reduce
pedestrian access to and from the site and would provide a 12' sidewalk width on
EI Camino Real and on Wells Avenue.
6) Parking Design: Parking shall be accommodated but shall not be allowed to
overwhelm the character of the project or detract from the pedestrian
environment. The project provides below grade parking for the project which does
not detract from the pedestrian environment.
In conclusion, the proposed project at 711 EI Camino Real [13PLN-00017] is consistent
with the Context-Based Design Criteria for all of the reasons and findings specified
above.

ATTACHMENT A
FINDINGS FOR ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW APPROVAL
711 El Camino Real
, 13PLN-OOOI7
The design and architecture of the proposed improvements, as conditioned, complies with
the Findings for Architectural Review as specified in PAMC Chapter 18.76.
1) The design is consistent and compatible with elements of the Palo Alto
Comprehensive Plan. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the
project, as conditioned, incorporates quality design that recognizes the regional
importance of the area as described in the Comprehensive Plan and reinforces its
pedestrian character.
2) The design is compatible with the immediate environment of the site. The project,
as conditioned, is designed to be compatible with the El Camino Real, address the
facade, and proportional in scale to the adjacent spaces. The proposal will
encourage pedestrian activity.
3) The design is appropriate to the function of the project. The design
accommodates commercial use. An outdoor dining terrace, facing El Camino
Real, is proposed to be surrounded by landscaping adjacent to the El Camino Real
and Wells sidewalks. The dining area would be slightly elevated (3.5 feet) above
El Camino Real. The terrace is setback still providing for a 6-foot wide landscape
buffer and 12-foot wide sidewalk width enhancing the pedestrian environment.
4) In areas considered by the board as having a unified design character or
historical character, the design is compatible with such character. This finding is
made in an affirmative. The project integrates the unified design character of the
neighborhood into the project.
5) The design promotes harmonious transitions in scale and character in areas
between different designated land uses. The proj ect provides transition with the
conunercial uses by providing varied roof heights and fayade articulation.
6) The design is compatible with approved improvements both on and off the site.
The building and its pedestrian orientation are compatible with the existing
context of the commerciallhotel El Camino Real environment.
7} The planning and siting of the various functions and buildings on the site create
an internal sense of order and provide a desirable environment for occupants,
visitors and the general community. The siting of the entry location of the lobby
creates an internal sense of community. The building setback is generally
711 EI Camino Real (13PLN-00017) Page lof3
consistent with the other buildings on EI Camino Real and the project provides
consistent landscaping and a 12'foot wide sidewalk.
8) The amount and arrangement of open space are appropriate to the design and the
function of the structures. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the
project provides for landscaping and streetscape.
9) Sufficient ancillary functions are provided to support the main functions of the
project and the same are compatible with the project's design concept. This
finding is not applicable to the project in that there are no ancillary functions
proposed.
10) Access to the property and circulation thereon are safe and convenient for
pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles. This finding can be made in the affirmative in
that the project has been designed to encourage pedestrian activity.
11) Natural features are appropriately preserved and integrated with the project.
The two fern pines are located within the interior of the site and are proposed to
be removed as part of the project. Five of the six redwoods on the PAMF property
would be retained and preserved while one of the redwoods, adjacent to the site, is
proposed to be removed. This is due to close proximity to the proposed building
and underground parking structure. However, new streets 'trees are proposed along
EI Canlino Real and Wells Avenue along with landscaping.
12) The materials, textures, colors and details of construction and plant material are
appropriate expressions of the design and function. The proposed colors and
materials would add interest and are generally compatible with the
commerciallhotel environment.
13) The landscape design concept for the site, as shown by the relationship of plant
masses, open space, scale, plant forms and foliage textures and colors create a
desirable and functional environment. The proposed landscaping would provide
visually desirable and functional environment.
14) Plant material is suitable and adaptable to the site, capable of being properly
maintained on the site, and is of a variety, which would tend to be drought
resistant and to reduce consumption of water in its installation and maintenance.
The landscaping proposed is drought resistant.
15) The project exhibits green building and sustainable design that is energy efficient,
water conserving, durable and nontoxic, with high quality spaces and high
recycled content materials. The project would comply with the stricter CalGreen
tier 2 requirements.
16) The design is consistent and compatible with the purpose of architectural review,
as set forth in section18. 76.020 (a). The project is design, as conditioned, would
711 EI Camino Real (13PLN-OOOI7) Page 2 of3
promote an environment that is of high design quality and variety.
In conclusion, the proposed project at 711 El Camino Real [13PLN-OOOI7] is consistent
for all of the reasons and findings specified above.

29. GRADING & DRAINAGE: The applicant shall meet with PWE prior to building permit
submittal to verify the basic design parameters affecting grading, drainage and surface
water infiltration. The applicant is required to submit a conceptual site grading and
drainage plan. In order to address potential storm water quality impacts, the plan shall
identify the Best Management Practices (BMP's) to be incorporated into the Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that will be required for the project. The SWPPP shall
include permanent BMP's to be incorporated into the project to protect storm water quality.
The elements of the PWE-approved conceptual grading and drainage plan shall be
incorporated into the building permit plans.
30. SIDEWALK, CURB & GUTTER: As part of this project, the applicant must remove and
replace the curb, gutter, and sidewalk along the project's frontages, and must remove any
unpermitted pavenlent in the planter strip. The site plan submitted with the building permit
plan set must show the extent of the replacement work. The plan must note that any work
in the right-of-way must be done per Public Works' standards by a licensed contractor who
must first obtain a Street Work Permit from Public Works at the Development Center.
31. STREET TREES: The applicant may be required to replace existing and/or add new street
trees in the public right-of-way along the property's frontage(s). Call the Public Works'
arborist at 650-496-5953 to arrange a site visit so he can determine what street tree work, if
any, will be required for this project. The site plan submitted with the building permit plan
set must show the street tree work that the arborist has determined, including the tree
species, size, location, staking and irrigation requirements, or include a note that Public
Works' arborist has determined no street tree work is required. The plan must note that in
711 EI Camino Real (13PLN-00017) Page 7 of 20
order to do street tree work, the applicant must first obtain a Permit/or Street Tree Work in
the Public Right-of Way from Public Works' arborist (650-496-5953).
32. PUE: At minimum, a public access easement (P AE) is required along the EI Camino Real
and Wells Avenue frontages for the portion of sidewalk located within private property.
This P AE shall be configured to ensure City standard width sidewalk is maintained along
the project's frontages. The exact configuration shall be reviewed and approved by Public
Works Engineering.
33. CURB & GUTTER ALIGNMENT: The proposed alignment change in the curb and gutter
along Wells Avenue will affect the existing drainage pattern. A catch basin shall be
installed along Wells Avenue just west of the proposed garage entrance. A new manhole
'shall be installed and connected to the existing 15 inch storm drain line in Wells Avenue;
the new catch basin shall be connected to the new manhole.
34. CURB RAMP: A curb ramp for the disabled will be required at the conler of EI Camino
Real and Wells and two others shall be required at the entrance to the underground parking
garage to provide an accessible path of travel to the sidewalk beyond the proj ect site.
35. STREET RESURFACING: The street surface along the Wells Avenue frontage of the
development shall be removed and replaced (grind and overlay, full-width).
36. The following comments are provided to assist the applicant at the building permit phase.
You can obtain various plan set details, forms and guidelines from Public Works at the
City's Development Center (285 Hamilton Avenue) or on Public Works' website:
www.cityofpaloalto.org/depts/pwd/forms~ermits.
Include in plans submitted for a building permit:
37. BELOW -GRADE PARKING DRAIN AGE: Due to high groundwater throughout much of
the City and Public Works prohibiting the pumping and discharging of groundwater,
perforated pipe drainage systems at the exterior of the basement walls or under the slab are
not allowed for this site. A drainage system is, however, required for all exterior basement
level spaces, such as lightwells, patios or stairwells. This system consists of a sump, a
sump pump, a backflow preventer, and a closed pipe from the pump to a dissipation device
onsite at least 10 feet from the property line, such as a bubbler box in a landscaped area, so
that water can percolate into the soil and/or sheet flow across the site. The device must not
allow stagnant water that could become mosquito habitat. Additionally, the plans must
show that exterior basement-level spaces are at least 7-3/4" below any adjacent
windowsills or doorsills to minimize the potential for flooding the basement. Public Works
recommends a waterproofing consultant be retained to design and inspect the vapor barrier
and waterproofing systems for the basement.
711 El Camino Real (13PLN-00017) Page 8 of20
38. BASEMENT SHORING: Shoring for the basement excavation, including tiebacks, must
not extend onto adjacent private property or into the City right-of-way without having first
obtained written permission from the private property owners and/or an encroachment
permit from Public Works.
39. DEWATERING: Basement excavations may require dewatering during construction.
Public Works only allows groundwater drawdown well dewatering. Open pit groundwater
dewatering is disallowed. Dewatering is only allowed from April through October due to
inadequate capacity in our storm drain system. The geotechnical report for this site must
list the highest anticipated groundwater level. We recommend a piezometer to be installed
in the soil boring. The contractor must determine the depth to groundwater immediately
prior to excavation by using the piezometer or by drilling an exploratory hole if the deepest
excavation will be within 3 feet of the highest anticipated groundwater level. If
groundwater is found within 2 feet of the deepest excavation, a drawdown well dewatering
system must be used, or alternatively, the contractor can excavate for the basement and
hope not to hit groundwater, but ifhe does, he must immediately stop all work and install a
drawdown well system before he continues to excavate. Public Works may require the
water to be tested for contaminants prior to initial discharge and at intervals during
dewatering. If testing is required, the contractor must retain an independent testing firm to
test the discharge water for the contaminants Public Works specifies and submit the results
to Public Works.
40. Public Works reviews and approves dewatering plans as part of a Street Work Permit. The
applicant can include a dewatering plan in the building permit plan set in order to obtain
approval of the plan during the building permit review, but the contractor will still be
required to obtain a street work permit prior to dewatering. Alternatively, the applicant
must include the above dewatering requirements in a note on the site plan. Public Works
has a sample dewatering plan sheet and dewatering guidelines available at the
Development Center and on our website.
41. GRADING & DRAINAGE PLAN: The plan set must include a grading & drainage plan
prepared by a licensed professional that includes existing and proposed spot elevations and
drainage flow arrows to demonstrate proper drainage of the site. Adjacent grades must
slope away from the structure a minimum of 2%. Downspouts and splashblocks should be
shown on this plan, as well as any site drainage features such as swales. Grading will not
be allowed that increases drainage onto, or blocks existing drainage fronl, neighboring
properties. Public Works generally does not allow rainwater to be collected and discharged
into the street gutter, but encourages the developer to keep rainwater onsite as much as
feasible by directing runoff to landscaped and other pervious areas of the site. See the
Grading & Drainage Plan Guidelines for New Single Family Residences on our website.
42. GRADING & EXCAVATION PERMIT: An application for a grading & excavation
permit must be submitted to Public Works when applying for a building pernlit. The
application and guidelines are available at the Development Center and on our website.
711 EI Camino Real (13PLN-000l7) Page 9 of20
Any grading permit issued in conjunction with a phased project implementation plan will
only authorize grading and storm drain improvements. Other site utilities may be shown on
the grading plan for reference only, and should be so noted. No utility infrastructure should
be shown inside the building footprint. Installation of these other utilities will be approved
as part of a subsequent Building Permit application.
43. STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION: The City's full-sized "Pollution
Prevention -It's Part of the Plan" sheet must be included in the plan set. Copies are
available from Public Works at the Development Center or on our website.
44. STREET TREES: Show all existing street trees in the public right-of-way. Any removal,
relocation or planting of street trees; or excavation, trenching or pavement within 10 feet of
street trees must be approved by Public Works' arborist (phone: 650-496-5953). This
approval shall appear on the plans. Show construction protection of the trees per City
requirements.
45. STREET LIGHTS: The applicant is encouraged to investigate and incorporate the use of
LED streetlights along the frontages of the proposed development in keeping with the
"green" design.
46. DRIVEWAY: The applicant shall design the driveway leading to the below-grade parking
garage per City of Palo Alto Standard Detail 123. The applicant shall install appropriate
curb ramps where sidewalk exists and a trench drain across the driveway shall be installed.
47. GREASE INTERCEPTOR: The grease separator shall be installed and located within
private property. In no case shall the City of Palo Alto allow the right-of-way (ROW) to be
used to satisfy this requirement.
48. WORK IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY: The plans must clearly indicate any work that is
proposed in the public right-of-way, such as sidewalk replacement, driveway approach, or
utility laterals. The plans must include notes that the work must be done per City standards
and that the contractor performing this work must first obtain a Street Work Permit from
Public Works at the Development Center. If a new driveway is in a different location than
the existing driveway, then the sidewalk associated with the new driveway must be
replaced with a thickened (6" thick instead of the standard 4" thick) section. Additionally,
curb cuts and driveway approaches for abandoned driveways must be replaced with new
curb, gutter and planter strip.
49. IMPERVIOUS SURFACE AREA: The project will be creating or replacing 500 square
feet or more of impervious surface. Accordingly, the applicant shall provide calculations
of the existing and proposed impervious surface areas with the building permit application.
A Storm Drainage Fee adjustment on the applicant's monthly City utility bill will take
place in the month following the final approval of the construction by the Building
711 El Camino Real (13PLN-00017) Page 10 of20
Inspection Division. The Impervious Area Worksheet for Land Developments form and
instructions are available at the Development Center or on our website.
50. STORM DRAIN: The applicant is required to paint the "No Dumping/Flows to (San
Francisquito) Creek" logo in blue color on a white background, adjacent to all storm drain
inlets. Stencils of the logo are available from the Public Works Environmental Compliance
Division, which may be contacted at (650) 329-2598. A deposit may be required to secure
the return of the stencil. Include the instruction to paint the logos on the construction
grading and drainage plan. Include nlaintenance of these logos in the Hazardous Materials
Management Plan, if such a plan is part of this project.
51. DUMPSTER: The project includes the construction of dumpster and recycling areas. City
guidelines require that this area be covered.
52. STORM WATER TREATMENT: This project may trigger the California Regional Water
Quality Control Board's revised provision C.3 for storm water regulations (incorporated
into the Palo Alto Municipal Code, Section 16.11) that apply to land development projects
that create or replace 10,000 square feet or more of impervious surface. The applicant shall
provide a calculation of the amount of impervious surface area being created or replaced.
If 10,000 sf of impervious surface area is created or replaced, then the City's regulations
require that the project incorporate a set of permanent site design measures, source
controls, and treatment controls that serve to protect storm water quality. The applicant
shall identify, size, design and incorporate permanent low impact development storm water
pollution prevention measures to treat the runoff from a "water quality storm" specified in
P AMC Chapter 16.11 prior to discharge to the municipal storm drain system. In addition,
the applicant shall designate a party to maintain the control measures for the life of
the improvements and must enter into a maintenance agreement with the City prior
to the first building occupancy sign-off. The City will inspect the treatment measures
yearly and charge an inspection fee. There is currently a $360 C.3 plan check fee that will
be collected upon submittal for a grading or building permit. Effective February 10,
2011, regulated projects, must contract with a qualified third-party reviewer during
the building permit review process to certify that the proposed permanent storm
water pollution prevention measures comply with the requirements of Palo Alto
Municipal Code Chapter 16.11. The certification form, 2 copies of approved
stormwater treatement plan, and a description of Maintenance Task and Schedule
must be received by the City from the third-party reviewer prior to approval of the
building permit by the Public Works department. For more information regarding
these requirements, visit the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention

1. REQUEST FOR ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW
We desire to redevelop 711 EI Camino Real, the former Palo Alto Pet Hospital, into a
small luxury boutique hotel, The Clement Palo Alto. We request Architectural Review
by the Architectural Review Board with respect to design of the project.
Our architect, HKS Hill Glazier Studio, has designed a timeless building which will fit
well into the design context of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation campus and The
Westin and Sheraton hotels. With respect to land use, The Clement Palo Alto is a
continuation of the existing hotel use at the Westin/Sheraton Hotel Complex, and it
is compatible with the medical facility use at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation
rtpAMF").
Redevelopment of the former Palo Alto Pet Hospital is the last bit of urban infill in
the Urban Lane area and it will complete the transformation of Urban Lane, which
used to be a warren of run-down small industrial workshops and storage bUildings.

Facilities and Operation
The proposed The Clement Palo Alto is designed to serve and appeal to very upscale
individual business travelers visiting Silicon Valley and Sand Hill Road. The Westin
Palo Alto is currently serving some of those business travelers at The Westin Palo
Alto, particularly in the 21 specialty suites at The Westin Palo Alto; however, many
other very upscale business travelers are using the Four Seasons East Palo Alto
hotel and the Rosewood Hotel in Menlo Park. These guests pay the most of any
hotel guests throughout the mid-Peninsula, and they demand amenities consistent
with suites.
The Clement Palo Alto will contain 23 large, highest-end accommodations, made up
of 21 two-room suites (consisting of a bedroom and an adjoining living room), and 2
"typical" hotel guestrooms which can either be used as stand-alone hotel rooms or
connected to their adjacent suites to "make a two-bedroom suite. The suites" will
each have a separate living room with a wet bar (sink, small refrigerator and
microwave oven), and a bedroom with a full bathroom.
The Clement Palo Alto will operate like a combination of a luxury bed-and-breakfast
and a first-class airline lounge such as the United Airlines Red Carpet Club or
American Airlines Admirals Club. The first floor of The Clement Palo Alto will
contain the hotel's commercial facilities, including a reception/concierge desk, a
Living Room and Dining Room for in-house guests, and a well-equipped Business
Center.
Guests in the Living Room and Dining Room will have access to complimentary
breakfast buffet items, snacks and hors d'oeuvres throughout the day in the Display
Kitchen, which is adjacent to the Dining Room. Hot breakfast and other entrees will
also be made to order by the hotel chef at the cooking island within the Display
Kitchen.
Guests can also eat on the outdoor Dining Terrace which features a trellis with
retractable fabric awnings, as well as a fire pit. There will be a partial height glass
sound barrier on the west and south walls of the Dining Terrace
Guests will be able to make their own sandwiches and light snacks at their
convenience in the Display Kitchen around the clock (the suites and rooms will have
refrigerators and microwave ovens but no kitchen facilities).
Visitors of in-house guests will be able to use the Dining Room and the Display
Kitchen with its breakfast, snacks and hors d'oeuvres for a fee (similar to a first
class airline lounge), but we do not plan to operate the Dining Room as a restaurant
for general public use.

Alcoholic beverages will be sold in the Living Room, which will be open to the public
during afternoon and evening hours, at which time food and hors d'oeuvres will also
be available to the public.
Guests desiring full-service dining for dinner will be able to eat at the restaurants at
The Westin and the Sheraton Hotel and charge to their room account at The Clement
Palo Alto. They will also be able to order room service from The Westin.
There will be one dedicated Private Dining Room. The main Dining Room can also
be isolated from the Living Room by Nana-Walls for private functions.
A fully-equipped Business Center offering copy machines, printers, office and
shipping supplies will be located on the first floor with convenient access to the
Living Room and Dining-Room as well the guest elevator.
The hotel offices, employee facilities, etc. will also be located on the first floor.
Mechanical equipment will be on the roof. The western portion of the roof
overlooking the Stanford Arboretum will be the recreation facilities described
above.
There will be an exercise room on the second floor, and an ADA-accessible restroom
on the roof to serve the recreation facilities on the roof.

Preliminary ARB Review Comments
The Architectural Review Board held a preliminary review of the project on May 24,
2012.
Salient comments that we heard were:
Comment: The Board wanted to relocate the mechanical penthouse to the east
end of the building so the recreation area of the roof deck faces EI Camino Real.
Response: The roof deck and mechanical penthouse (actually, walls
screening mechanical equipment on the roof) have been redesigned so that
the mechanical penthouse is now located at the east end of the building,
away from EI Camino Real. The recreation area and pool are at the west end
and center of the roof, overlooking EI Camino Real and the Arboretum. .
Comment: The Board expressed concern about the "second-class" appearance of
the exterior access ramp.
Response: The entry to the hotel has been redesigned to create one fully
integrated arrival experience encompassing both stair and ramp. The
sidewalk at the drop-off area has been lowered, eliminating the need for the
secondary ramp up from the street and allowing direct access from vehicle
drop off to the arrival ramp.
Both the stair and ramp employ the same vocabulary of honed limestone
base and decorative metal handrails to denote entry to the hotel, and both
elements are fully incorporated within the decorative planting plan.
Comment: The Board requested more information about exterior sign age for the
hotel.
Response: We did several 3D studies of potential sizes, shapes, and
locations for signage. We retained LOOK Agency to refine the graphics and
VKK to design the signs. We propose two exterior signs:
1. A monument sign in the landscaped area at the corner of EI Camino
Real and Wells Avenue, with visibility to traffic traveling in both directions
on EI Camino Real. The monument will be placed in a low berm and
surrounded by planting.
2. A wall-mounted sign on the south fa~ade of the rooftop mechanical
penthouse.
Both signs have opaque halo-lit letters.

Many of the proposed public benefits would
facilitate pedestrian and bicycle access and
way finding. These include new sidewalks to
promote pedestrian access.
The new hotel would exceed the code
requirement for bike parking.
The proposal for a new hotel would greatly
enhance the existing street comer with the
construction of a new building with ample
pedestrian level fenestration and detail, new
landscaping, street trees, and sidewalks, and an

land use category. The proposed hotel development within this section of the City is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan goal to provide citywide and regional services.
'8. ZONING
The project site consists of one parcel having approximately 0.26 acres (11,325 square feet).
The parcel is zoned CS (Service Commercial) and is regulated by the Palo Alto Municipal Code
(P AMC) Chapter 18.16. Commercial development on the project site is subject to the
development standards and context based design criteria established for non-residential
developments within P AMC Chapter 18.16. The specific regulations of this chapter and the
additional regulations and procedures established by other releyant chapters of the Zoning Code
apply. Hotel use is a permitted land use in the service commercial (CS) district.
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project at 711 EI Camino Real is the demolition of 3,200 square feet of existing
commercial floor area and construction of 22,957 square feet of new floor area to establish a 50
foot tall, 4-story, 23-unit hotel with a partially underground parking facilities (5 to 6 feet below
grade) providing 23 automobile spaces. The parking facility would be accessed by a 28'-6"
driveway with entry and exit ranlps on W ells Avenue at the east end of the property line. The
front entrance to the hotel would be on Wells Avenue, set back 25 feet from the front property
line. The entrance would feature a front canopy for guest drop-offs. More detailed description of
project features is provided in this study.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST AND DISCUSSION OF IMP ACTS
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question.
[A UNo ImpactU answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show
that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e. g. the project falls
outside a fault rupture zone). A UNo Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on
project-specific factors as well as general standards (e. g. the project will not expose sensitive
receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).]
2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational
impacts.
3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist
answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with
mitigation, or less than significant. Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is
substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially
Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, anEIR is required.
4) "(Mitigated) Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies
where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant
Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation
measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation
measures from Section 17, "Earlier Analysis," may be cross-referenced).
711 EI Camino Real 13PLN-00017 Page 3 Mitigated Negative Declaration
5) Earlier analysis may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an
effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (C)(3)
(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the
scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,
and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier
analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures. F or effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures
Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined fronl the
earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for
potential impacts (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or
outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the
statement is substantiated.
7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or
individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8) The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.
DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS
The following Environmental Checklist was used to identify environmental impacts, which could occur
if the proposed project is implemented. The left-hand column in the checklist lists the source(s) for the
answer to each question. The sources cited are identified at the end of the checklist. Discussions of the
basis for each answer and a discussion of mitigation measures that are proposed to reduce potential
significant impacts are included.

DISCUSSION:
The project site is not located within a major view shed. The will not substantially damage scenic
resources within a state scenic highway and does not violate any existing Comprehensive Plan policies
regarding visual resources. The site situated between two "primary entry points" (University Avenue
and Embarcadero Road), within a commercial center that features Town and Country Village shopping'
center and Stanford Shopping Center.
The project is subject to review by the Architectural Review Board (ARB) and Director approval; the
ARB approval criteria and findings are designed to ensure an appropriate site layout and architectural
design, including landscaping that is aesthetically pleasing and compatible with its surroundings. The
hotel is designed to meet development standards (PAMC 18.16.060), Context Based Design Criteria
(P AMC 18.16.090), and observe the concepts set forth in the EI Camino Real Design Guidelines. The
guidelines and context based design criteria in the zoning code are currently under Council consideration
as to whether the building setbacks and sidewalk widths specified in the zoning code and guidelines are
desirable going forward, given the Grand Boulevard Initiative document advising 18 feet of sidewalk
width along EI Camino Real. .
The height of the hotel is 50 feet to the top of the parapet, meeting the 50 foot maximum allowable
height limit for the CS zone district. A few rooftop features would exceed the 50 foot height limit; none
would be taller than 63' -5", These would not be habitable floor area; these projections above 50 feet are
intended to screen mechanical equipment, to provide an elevator tower and an ADA accessible restroom,
and other similar rooftop equipment. Section 18.40.090 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code permits this
type of height exception so long as it does not extend 15 feet above the 50 foot maximum height limit;
no Design Enhancement Exception is needed for these features.
The hotel design incorporates an articulated building base, body and roof. The exterior finish materials
at the upper level floors are proposed to be stucco. The fIrst floor walls would be finished with high
quality, natural limestone. The primary color on the upper level stucco plaster walls would be a beige
color, "Heartsmere"; a secondary, brown body color would be employed on the 4th level walls and roof
top, "Capilano Bridge". The color scheme employs medium neutral tones as a base, with deeply
saturated accent colors to highlight certain areas.
711 EI Camino Real 13PLN-00017 PageS Mitigated Negative Declaration
The project includes extensive landscaping proposed around the site's perimeter. Low ground cover is
featured in a "buffer" area next to the El Camino Real sidewalk (Silver Dragon Lilyturf), as well as
medium height shrubs (Autumn Bride Coral Bells). Alternating sections of decorative shrubs (Emerald
Wave Kohulu) and vine covered trellises are proposed along the vertical wall of the dining terrace. The
dining terrace, which features two fire pits, would be sheltered by a trellis with retractable fabric
awnings and partial height glass barrier on the El Camino Real side. A six-foot wide landscape buffer
proposed between the dining terrace and sidewalk would provide a visual transition from El Camino
Real to the building.
The redevelopment of the site may result in a negligible increase in light and glare generated from the
additional lighting of the site and glazing on the building. With the City's standard conditions of
approval, the light and glare impacts of the project will not be significant. The conditions of approval
will require the shielding of lighting such that the light does not extend beyond the site, is directional,
and that the source of light is not directly visible.
With the required architectural review process and project compliance with the applicable zoning
standards, context based criteria and design guidelines, the proposed project will not substantially
degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site or its surroundings, 'therefore no mitigation is
required.

DISCUSSION:
The project is not expected to result in a significant impact on air quality. The project may result in
temporary dust emissions due to construction activity. The City of Palo Alto uses the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District's (BAAQMD) thresholds of significance for air quality impacts, as
follows:
Long Term Impacts: Long-term project emissions primarily stem from motor vehicles associated with
the proposed project. As discussed in the Transportation/Traffic section of this Initial Study, the project
will generate additional new vehicle trips but the intersections will still operate at an acceptable level of
service. However, the change of land use will not have an impact on the surrounding area because of
the anticipated increase in the volume of traffic that is expected within the project area regardless of the
project being built or not. The hotel is a permitted use for the site and will not affect a substantial
number of people which would be limited to other commercial uses and pedestrians in the immediate
vicinity. Long-term air-quality impacts are expected to be less than significant.
Sensitive receptors are defined as children, elderly, or ill people who can be more adversely affected
by air quality problems. The proposed project will be located in a mixed area consisting of both
medical and commercial uses. Although sensitive receptors are in the immediate vicinity of the
project, the construction impacts would be addressed as standard approval conditions, resulting in a
less than significant impact to sensitive receptors. The project would be subject to the following
City's standard conditions of approval:
The following controls shall be implemented for the duration of project construction to minimize dust
related construction impacts:
• All active construction areas shall be watered at least twice daily.
• All trucks hauling soil, sand, and loose materials shall be covered or shall retain at least two feet
of freeboard.
• All paved access roads, parking areas, and staging areas at the construction site shall be swept
and watered daily.
711 EI Camino Real 13PLN-00017 Page 8 Mitigated Negative Declaration
• Submit a plan for the recovery/recycling of demolition waste and debris before the issuance of a
demolition permit.
• Sweep streets daily ifvisible soil material is carried onto adjacent public streets.
Mitigation Measures C-l: The effects of construction activities would be increased dustfall and locally
elevated levels of particulate matter downwind of construction activity. Construction dust has the
potential for creating a nuisance at nearby properties. This impact is considered potentially significant
but normally mitigable by implementing the following control measures:
During demolition of existing structures:
• Water active demolition areas to control dust generation during demolition and pavement break
up.
• Cover all trucks hauling demolition debris from the site.
• Use dust-proof chutes to load debris into trucks whenever feasible.
• During all construction phases:
• Pave, apply water 3x/daily, or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers on all unpaved access roads,
parking areas, and staging areas at construction sites.
• Hydroseed or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers to inactive construction areas (previously
graded areas inactive for ten days or more).
• Enclose, cover, water 2x/daily, or apply (non-toxic) soil binders to exposed stockpiles (dirt,
sand, etc.).
• Limit traffic speeds on unpaved roads to 15 miles per hour.
• Install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to public roadways.
• Replant vegetation in disturbed areas as quickly as possible.
The above measures include feasible measures for construction emissions identified by the BAAQMD
for large sites. According to the District threshold of significance for construction impacts,
implementation of the measures would reduce construction impacts of the project to a less than
significant level.

DISCUSSION:
The project site is located in an established urban area with no riparian or tree habitat for the
candidate, sensitive, or special status species in the area. No endangered, threatened, or rare animals,
insects and plant species have been identified at this site. The project site is located in an established
commercial urban setting.
The Comprehensive Plan includes policies, programs and implementing actions to ensure the
preservation of biological tree resources. The following policies and programs are relevant to the
proposed Project:
• Policy N-14: Protect, revitalize, and expand Palo Alto's urban forest.
• Policy N-15: Require new commercial, multi-unit, and single family housing projects to provide
street trees and related irrigation systems.
• Program N-16: Require replacement of trees, including street trees lost to new development.
• Program N-17: Develop and implement a plan for maintenance, irrigation, and replacement of
trees.
Palo Alto's Regulated Trees
The City of Palo Alto Municipal Code regulates specific types of trees on public and private property for
the purpose of avoiding their removal or disfigurement without first being reviewed and permitted by
the City's Planning or Public Works Departments. Three categories within the status of regulated trees
711 EI Camino Real 13PLN-00017 Page 10 Mitigated Negative Declaration
include protected trees (PAMC 8.10), public trees (PAMC 8.04.020) and designated trees (PAMC 18.76,
when so provisioned to be saved and protected by a discretionary approval.)
Palo Alto Municipal Code Tree Preservation Ordinance
Chapter 8.10 of the Municipal Code (the Tree Preservation Ordinance) protects a category of Regulated
Trees, on public or private property from removal or disfigurement. The Regulated Tree category
includes:
• Protected Trees. Includes all coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) and valley oak trees 11.5 inches
or greater in diameter, coast redwood trees 18 inches or greater in diameter, and heritage trees
designated by the City Council according to any of the following provisions: it is an outstanding
specimen of a desirable species; it is one of the largest or oldest trees in Palo Alto; or it possesses
distinctive form, size, age, location, and/or historical significance.
• Street Trees. Also protected are City-owned street trees (all trees growing within the street right
of-way, outside of private property)
• Designated Trees. Designated trees are established by the City when a project is subject to
discretionary design review process by the Architecture Review Board that under Municipal
Code Chapter 18.76.020(d)(11) includes as part of the findings of review, "whether natural
features are appropriately preserved and integrated with the project." Outstanding tree specimens
contributing to the existing site, neighborhood or community, and that have a rating of "High"
Suitability for Preservation as reflected in Table 3.6-1 would constitute a typical designated tree.
Palo Alto Tree Preservation Guidelines
For all development projects within the City of Palo Alto, discretionary or ministerial, a Tree Disclosure
Statement (IDS) is part of the submittal checklist to establish and verify trees that exist on the site, trees
that overhang the site originating on an adjacent property, and trees that are growing in a City easement,
parkway, or publicly owned land. The TDS stipulates that a Tree Survey is required (for multiple trees),
when a Tree Preservation Report is required (development within the dripline of a Regulated Tree), and
who may prepare these documents. The City of Palo Alto Tree Technical Manual} (Tree Technical
Manual) describes acceptable procedures and standards to preserve Regulated Trees, including:
• The protection of trees during construction;
• If allowed to be removed, the acceptable replacement strategy;
• Maintenance of protected trees (such as pruning guidelines);
• Format and procedures for tree reports; and
711 EI Camino Real 13PLN-00017 Page 11 Mitigated Negative Declaration
• Criteria for determining whether a tree is a hazard.
There are two mature fern pine trees on the site and six redwood trees on the adjacent PAMF property.
Two of the redwoods are on the southern portion of the PAMF property, and four redwoods are located
adjacent to the project site's rear property line. The two fern pines are located within the interior of the
site and are proposed to be removed as part of the project. Five of the six redwoods on the PAMF
property would be retained and preserved while one of the redwoods, adjacent to the site, is proposed to
be removed. This is due to close proximity to the proposed building and underground parking structure.
The arborist report identifies protection measures to be incorporated in the plans to reduce the potential
impact on public trees and the other non-regulated trees to be retained. These include protective fencing,
mulching, irrigation, and guidelines for tree protection zone setback clearances for buildings and
grading, above ground measures for walkways, structures, landscaping and flatwork.

g) Expose people or property to major geologic
hazards that cannot be mitigated through the 1,4,5,9 x use of standard engineering design and seismic

DISCUSSION:
The entire state of California is in a seismically active area. According to the Palo Alto Comprehensive
Plan the project site is not in an area that is subject to very strong ground shaking in the event of an
earthquake or in an area subject to expansive soils, surface rupture, liquefaction, or earthquake induced
landslides. Based on the engineering analysis in the Geotechnical Investigation prepared by Murray
Engineers Inc, the site is not located in an area considered susceptible to earthquake liquefaction. There
are no active or potentially active faults across the property, therefore no fault rupture would occur on
site. Since the subsurface condition is not susceptible to liquefaction because the soil is not silty sand
saturated by groundwater. The site would not be subject to lateral spreading and or seismic settlement if
the recommendations provided by the Geotechnical Engineering Investigation prepared by Murray
Engineers Inc. are followed.
Development of the proposed project would be required to conform to all requirements in the Uniform
Building Code, which includes provisions to ensure that the design and construction of all buildings
includes provisions to resist damage from earthquakes to the extent feasible and acceptable. Substantial
or permanent changes to the site topography are not expected. Standard conditions of approval require
submittal of a final grading and drainage plan for the project for approval by the Public Works
Department prior to the issuance of a building permit. The application of standard grading, drainage,
and erosion control measures as a part of the approved grading and drainage plan is expected to avoid
any grading-related impacts.
Mitigation Measures F-l: The design of all buildings shall be designed in accordance with current
earthquake resistant standards, including the 2007 CBC guidelines and design recommendations
regarding the potential for localized liquefaction presented in the Geotechnical Investigation provided by
Murray Engineers.

DISCUSSION:
The proposed project will not involve the handling, transportation, use, disposal, or emISSIon of
hazardous materials. The project site is not identified by either the California Environmental Protection
Agency or the California State Water Resources Control Board as a hazardous materials site. The project
is not expected to pose airport-related safety hazards. The proposed project will not interfere with either
emergency response or evacuation. The project site is not located in a designated fire hazard area. The
new construction and site design shall be required to comply with the City's building permit approval
standards and fire equipment and fire protection coverage standards as conditions of project approval
prior to the issuance of a building permit.
Kellco-Macs conducted a Phase 1 of the subject site. During the course of this assessment, Kellco-Macs
identified one potential environmental concern, the presence of LBP (up to 19,200 ppm) and ACMs (up
to 60%) within one of the vacant buildings. Kello-Macs recommended the soil should be evaluated for
lead impaction due to LBP. A Phase II Environmental Assessment was conducted analyzing soil
711 EI Camino Real 13PLN-00017 Page 15 Mitigated Negative Declaration

samples for lead concentration. The lead concentrations were less than the California Regional Water
Quality Control Board environmental screening level for lead on industrial and lor commercial
properties however, not for residential. The Phase II concluded proceeding with demolition activities
and once the site is vacant, collect an additional eight soil samples to evaluate lead concentrations. This
is required since the lead concentrations exceeded the residential soil sample level. If contaminated soil
is found to be present, it will be disposed of at an appropriate licensed facility in compliance with
federal and state regulations.
Mitigation Measures H-l: After demolition of the existing structures and prior to off-hauling of fill and native
soil from the site, an additional eight soil samples shall be collected to evaluate lead concentrations using
ProUCL, human-health risk program. If contaminated soil is found to be present, it will be disposed of at
an appropriate licensed facility in compliance with federal and state regulations.

DISCUSSION:
Construction of the proposed building and related site improvements will result in an increase in the
amount of impervious surface area on the site. The site currently contains two small single-story wood
frame buildings which contain, approximately 3,200 square feet. The site contains an existing single
story Palo Alto 'Pet Hospital building, which is accessed by an asphalt-paved driveway/parking area at
the west end of the site. Several covered kennels are located adjacent to the east end of the building. The
remainder of the site consists of small landscape areas, with shrubs and mature trees. As previously
referred to in the Geology, Soils and Seismicity section of this study a large portion of this site contains
layers of fine-and course grained older alluvial soils from the surface to the depth of 60-feet
The project site is not located in an area of groundwater recharge and will not deplete the groundwater
supplies. The project site is located outside of the 100-year flood hazard area and would not impede or
redirect flood flows. The project site is not in an area that is subject to seiche, tsunami or mudflow.
With the City's required conditions of approval the water impacts of the project will not be significant.
During demolition, grading and construction, storm water pollution could result. Standard conditions of
architectural review approval would require the incorporation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for
storm water pollution prevention in all construction operations, in conformance with the Santa Clara
Valley Non-Point Source Pollution Control Program, and submittal of a stormwater pollution prevention
plan (SWPPP) in conjunction with building permit plans to address potential water quality impacts. City
development standards and standard conditions of project approval would reduce potential negative
impacts of the project to less than significant.

DISCUSSION:
The project is a 50 foot tall, 4-story, 23 unit hotel with one level partially underground parking facility
providing 23 parking spaces. The project requires Architectural Review Board review and public
hearing(s) prior to Director's decision. The site development complies with the zoning regulations and
land use designation as described below. Compliance with parking regulations is addressed in Section 0
below.
The Service Commercial land use designation allows for facilities providing citywide and regional
services and relies on customers arriving by car. Typical uses encouraged in this district include auto
services and dealerships, motels, appliance stores and restaurants. The proposed hotel development
within this section of the City is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan goal to provide citywide and
regional services. The proposed hotel is an allowed use within the CS Zone District.
The project complies with the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) allowed under the CS zone district. The CS zone
allows for an FAR of2.0:1 for a hotel. The total building area is 108,870 square feet (1.96:1 FAR). The
project complies with the CS zone height and setback standards. The height of the hotel is 50 feet,
measured to the top of the parapet, which complies with the CS zone district height limit. A mechanical
equipment enclosure, an elevator penthouse and an ADA accessible restroom would exceed 50 feet but
these areas are not habitable areas. Chapter 18.40.090 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code permits this type
of height exception (without a Design Enhancement Exception) so long as the feature does not extend
more than 15 feet above the 50 foot maximum height limit. The maximum height of the tallest
mechanical screen is 63'-5" which is within the allowable height exception for the CS zone.
711 EI Camino Real 13PLN-00017 Page 18 Mitigated Negative Declaration
The project site is located within the Hotel Area, a corridor area, as defined by the South El Camino
Real Design Guidelines (Guidelines). It is not considered a strategic site within the Hotel Area. The
area is characterized by large and small-scale hotels as well as auto-oriented retail commercial uses.
Although presently pedestrian activity is light, the Guidelines look toward accommodating such activity
and creating an interesting gateway into the City. With that in mind the Guidelines indicate new
buildings should front El Camino Real with entries fronting the street or clearly visible from the street
providing recognizable and easily accessible entries for both pedestrians and vehicular arrivals. The
project proposal complies with many of the specific Guidelines for the Hotel area relative to site
planning and design. The Guidelines indicate that all buildings should have entries facing EI Camino
Real. The proposed hotel entry faces on Wells Avenue; however, the main entry is visible from El
Camino Real and is highlighted by an entrance canopy.
The hotel would be set back from El Camino Real to provide a 1 ~ foot wide effective sidewalk width
(curb face to building, required by Zoning Code Section 18.16.060). An outdoor dining terrace, facing
EI Camino Real, is proposed to be surrounded by landscaping adjacent to the EI Camino Real and Wells
sidewalks. The dining area would be slightly elevated (3.5 feet) above EI Camino Real. The terrace is
setback still providing for a 6-foot wide landscape buffer and 12-foot Wide sidewalk width. The street'
side setback of the building, from Wells Avenue right of way, is five feet (from the property line), to
provide an effective sidewalk width of 12-feet along Wells. The building would be set back from the
rear property line 3' -9" and from the south property line 10 to 16 feet.
The first floor of the hotel would include an arrival vestibule, a restaurant/bar open to the public, a
dining room and pantry for hotel guests only, and back of the house operations such as a housekeeping
area, a manager's office and an employee lounge. Guests in the lounge and dining room would have
access to the pantry and outdoor dining room terrace. The second floor would have seven, two-room
suites (living room and bedroom) and an exercise room. The third and fourth floors would have seven
suites and one guest room each for a total of 21 suites and two guestrooms. Hotel guests would have
access to the roof deck, which would feature a small swimnung pool, a whirlpool, a fire pit, an
accessible restroom, and pool furniture.
The site is not located in a "Prime Farmland", "Unique Farmland", or "Farmland of Statewide
Importance" area, as shown on the maps prepared for the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program
of the California Resources Agency. The site is not zoned for agricultural use, and is not regulated by
the Williamson Act.

DISCUSSION:
The project site is located in an area with an existing noise level ranging between 58-75 Ldn • This noise
level is typical for commercial districts. Grading and construction activities will result in temporary
increases in local ambient noise levels. Typical noise sources would include mechanical equipment
associated with excavation, grading and construction, which will be short term in duration. Standard
approval conditions would require the project to comply with the City's Noise Ordinance (PAMC
Chapter 9.10), which restricts the timing and overall noise levels associated with construction activity.
Short-term construction that complies with the Noise Ordinance would result in impacts that are
expected to be less than significant.
Estimated future noise levels at the site will range from DNL (day-night average sound level) 75dBA
near the front wall of the hotel along El Camino Real. Where the DNL exceeds 60dBA, the project must
incorporate mitigation measures into the building design to reduce interior noise levels from exterior
sources to DNL 45dBA or less. To nleet the indoor noise level criteria, sound-rated exterior facades will
be necessary for some units. Recommendations for sound rated construction will depend on the size and
type of rooms, window and exterior facades, and must be determined during the design phase.
Long term noise associated with the new hotel use will be produced by several sources. The first source
would be produced by rooftop mechanical equipment associated with the Hotel. This equipment is
proposed on the rooftop of the four-story hotel. The equipment will be located approximately 50 feet
from the Westin Hotel and 125 feet from the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. To mitigate the potential
noise impacts of the mechanical equipment it is recommended that the project incorporate mitigations
measures as outlined in the Palo Alto Noise Ordinance which include equipment selection, equipment
location, and equipment enclosures. The other source would be rooftop sundeck activities. A sun deck is
proposed for the roof of the Hotel. Daily activities, including people-related noise, whirl pools, and even
711 EI Camino Real 13PLN-00017 Page 21 Mitigated Negative Declaration
low level background music, should not negatively impact surrounding areas. Distance and air
absorption as well as existing traffic noise from EI Camino Real should help to mask and attenuate the
level of sounds expected from the roof deck (60-65 dBA). Gatherings of large numbers of people, highly
amplified music and special events are not anticipated. These types of events can be controlled via Hotel
administrative means; any alcohol service would require approval of a Conditional Use Permit which
would incorporate controls and conditions.
Another source is emergency generators. Emergency generators are typically operated for 30 minutes
once a month for general maintenance and service. The time of this activity can be scheduled
administratively to minimize noise impacts. The emergency generators for the project are to be located
on the rooftop within the screened mechanical area. Following an acoustical during the design phase of
the project, the acoustical consultant should determine the need for any potential sound traps, exhaust
mufflers, and/or any absorbing acoustical treatment within the area enclosing the generator. The
underground parking will require an exhaust system. The mechanical exhaust equipment will be located
in the garage level with an exhaust chase due.south of the employee lounge. Any noise from this system
will be attenuated.
The Hotel will have refuse pickUp and deliveries as part of its normal operations. Refuse pick-up will '
comply with the Section 9.10.060 (h) of the City of Palo Alto Noise Ordinance. Times of refuse pick-up
should be limited to between the hours of 4:00 am and 9:00 pm daily, and should not produce noise
levels in excess of 95 dB (A) measured at a distance of 25 feet from the activity. Deliveries are
expected to be coordinated with those of the existing Sheraton and Westin Hotel's deliveries which have
been ongoing for a number of years since the hotels have been in existence. The increase in delivery
activities caused by the Hotel should not impact the surrounding buildings.
According to the Land Use Compatibility for Community Noise Environment chart located in the Palo
Alto Comprehensive Plan, the normally acceptable level for exterior noise generated from residential,
hotel, and motel uses is between 55-60dB. The future noise level generated from the proposed project
ranges between 58dBA to 75-dBA which is within the category of conditionally acceptable.
The City's standard conditions of approval will be applied to the project to ensure the construction noise
and rooftop mechanical equipment noise impacts will be reduced to a level of insignificance. The project
site is not located within an airport land use plan or within the vicinity of a private airstrip.

Population in Palo Alto's sphere of influence in 1996, according to Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan was
58,000 people. This is projected by the City's Comprehensive Plan to increase to 62,880 by 2010. The
project would not cumulatively contribute to population in the area. The projects cumulative impacts for
the purposes of CEQA are also considered to be less than significant, as the impact from the project
alone is not "considerable", and is di minimus, as environmental conditions would essentially be the
same whether or not the project is implemented (as per CEQA Guidelines §15355 and §15064). City

The site is located within the jurisdiction of the Palo Alto Police Department. The proposed changes
will not result in the need for additional police officers, equipment or facilities.
Schools
No direct demand for Palo Alto school services would result from the project, as the proposal does not
generate an increase in population for Palo Alto Schools.
Parks
Impact fees to address impacts on parks were adopted by the Palo Alto City Council in March of
2002. As a condition of subdivision and prior to receiving a building permit, the project applicant
will be required to pay a one-time development impact fee for parks. The City's park-in-lieu fee and
park facility fee will be used to offset impacts on park facilities as a result of this project. Therefore,
the project would result in a less than significant impact.
Other Public Facilities
Impact fees to address impacts on community centers and libraries were adopted by the Palo Alto
City Council in March of 2002. Prior to receiving a building permit, the project applicant will be

substantial physical deterioration of the 1,5,6
facility would occur or be accelerated?
Does the project include recreational
facilities or require the construction or
expansion. of recreational facilities which X
might have an adverse physical effect on the 1,5,6
environment?
DISCUSSION:
This project is subject to payment of impact fees for parks, libraries and community facilities. The
project would not have any significant impact on existing parks, nor include or require construction of
recreational facilities. No mitigation is required.
There would not be a significant change to the demand of recreation services as a result of the proposed
project. The project includes areas for indoor recreation for the use of all hotel patrons.

DISCUSSION:
A Transportation Impact Analysis & Neighborhood Traffic Study provided by Kimley-Horn analyzed
the potential impacts to the transportation system as a result of the redevelopment of the Palo Alto Pet
Hospital site. The existing facilities at the project site include the two one-story buildings approximately
3,200 square feet. The use has been vacated; therefore, the new use will result in a change in traffic on
the adjacent street network. No trip credit is assumed since the pet hospital is no longer in use. The
proposed project (23 room hotel) is estimated to generate 13 AM peak hour trips, and 14 PM peak hour
trips. According to the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) results, the intersection at EI Camino Real
and Wells A venue is expected to continue to operate at acceptable levels of service during each of the
peak periods.
Access/Circulation
Access to the hotel site will be provided on Wells Avenue. Guests will arrive at the hotel's main
entrance on Wells Avenue and will park along the curb during check-in. A valet parking attendant
will take their car from the curb into the hotel's underground parking. When a guest leaves, the
parking attendant will retrieve their vehicle from the garage and then circle clockwise around the
block to drop it off at the same curb on Wells Avenue near the hotel entrance. According to Kimley
Hom, an evaluation of on-site queuing showed there is not expected to be any queues greater than a
car length of parking garage. There is minimal traffic along Wells Avenue that would cause any
delay to a vehicle exiting the parking garage. Therefore, on-site queuing impacts are not expected. In
addition, the parking garage is operated by a valet service, and therefore on-site congestion will not
be an issue.
One driveway will provide access to the underground parking garage. A majority of t~e vehicular
traffic to the hotel will utilize the valet service. Emergency access and some loading activity will be
provided along the perimeter drive. Pedestrian and bicycle access to the site will also be provided
via EI Camino Real and W ells Avenue.
Parking Spaces
According to the Palo Alto Municipal Code, Section 18.52.040, a hotel is required to provide one
parking space per guestroom. There are 18 spaces made proposed in one-level of underground
parking, with an additional 5 spaces for double parking for the valet service. This equates to a total
711 EI Camino Real 13PLN-00017 Page 27 Mitigated Negative Declaration
of 23 spaces, which satisfies the parking requirement. The project will provide the necessary parking
requirements as required by the City of Palo Alto Zoning Ordinance.
Transit Service Impacts
Existing bus service is provided immediately in front of the project site along El Camino Real. The
project is estimated to have a less than significant impact to transit service.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Impacts
The project includes adequate bicycle parking as well as pedestrian access to and from the site. The
project is estimated to have a less than significant impact to bicycle and pedestrian impacts.
The project has been reviewed by the City Fire Department and Transportation Division and does
not contain design features that will substantially increase hazards or result in inadequate emergency
access. The project will not result in a change to air traffic patterns.
Impact Fees
The property is subject to citywide traffic impact fees.

water, sewer and fire systems are capable of serving the needs of the development and adjacent
properties during peak flow demands. Trash and recycling facilities are proposed in the project to
accommodate the expected waste and recycling streams that would be generated by the expected uses
within the building. The project is subject to all conditions of approval provided by all applicable city

Does the project have environmental effects

DISCUSSION:
The project would not have an impact on fish or wildlife habitat, nor would it impact cultural or historic
resources. The uses are appropriate for the site and the development would not result in an adverse
visual impact. There is nothing in the nature of the proposed development and property improvements
that would, have a substantial adverse effect on human beings, or other life or environmental impacts
once mitigation is implemented to reduce potential impacts to the users of the new mixed use project in
the area of biological resources, noise, seismicity and air quality.
Global Climate Change Impacts
Global climate change is the alteration of the Earth's weather including its temperature, precipitation,
and wind patterns. Global temperatures are affected by naturally occurring and anthropogenic generated
atmospheric gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gases allow sunlight into
the Earth's atmosphere, but prevent radiative heat from escaping into outer space, which is known as the
"greenhouse" effect. The world's leading climate scientists have reached consensus that global climate
change is underway and is very likely caused by humans. Twenty agencies at the international, national,
state, and local levels are considering strategies to control emissions of gases that contribute to global
warming. There is no comprehensive strategy that is being implemented on a global scale that addresses
climate change; however, in California a multiagency "Climate Action Team", has identified a range of
strategies and the Air Resources Board, under Assembly Bill (AB) 32, has been designated to adopt the
main plan for reducing California's GRG emissions by January 1, 2009, and regulations and other
initiatives for reducing GRG emissions by January 1, 2011. AB 32 requires achievement by 2020 of a
statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit equivalent to 1990 emissions, and the adoption of rules and
regulations to achieve the maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective greenhouse gas
emissions reductions.
By 2050, the state plans to reduce emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels. While the state of
California has established programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, there are no established
standards for gauging the significance of greenhouse gas emissions. Neither CEQA nor the CEQA
Guidelines provide any methodology for analysis of greenhouse gases. Given the "global" scope of
global climate change, the challenge under CEQA is for a Lead Agency to translate the issue down to
the level of a CEQA document for a specific proj ect in a way that is meaningful to the decision making
process. Under CEQA, the essential questions are whether a project creates or contributes to an
environmental impact or is subject to impacts from the environment in which it would occur, and what
mitigation measures are available to avoid or reduce impacts.
711 EI Camino Real 13PLN-00017 Page 30 Mitigated Negative Declaration
The project would generate greenhouse gases primarily through electricity generation/use and
generation of vehicle trips. Efforts to reduce the project's greenhouse gas emissions by reducing
electricity demand and reducing vehicle trips and miles, therefore, should be implemented. The land use
is changing from general business service and personal services to a larger commercial development
consisting of a hotel. It is estimated that fewer trips daily trips will occur as a result of this change of
use therefore limiting the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed project would conform to
the City's Comprehensive Plan and other policies to reduce vehicle trips and miles traveled, and
encourage automobile-alternative modes of transportation (e.g., public transit, walking, and bicycling),
as described in detail in Section 0, Transportation of this Initial Study.
Given the overwhelming scope of global climate change, it is not anticipated that a single development
project would have an individually discernable effect on global climate change (e.g., that any increase in
global temperature or rise in sea level could be attributed to the emissions resulting from one single
development project). Rather, it is more appropriate to conclude that the greenhouse gas emissions
generated by the proposed project would combine with emissions across the state, nation, and globe to
cumulatively contribute to global climate change.
Declaring an impact significant or not implies some knowledge of incremental effects that is several
years away, at best. To determine whether the proposed project would have a significant impact on
global climate change is speculative, particularly given the fact that there are no existing numerical
thresholds to determine an impact. However, in an effort to make a good faith effort at disclosing
environmental impacts and to conform with the CEQA Guidelines [§16064(b)], it is the City's position
that, based on the nature and si2!e of this project, its location within an established urban area served by
existing infrastructure (rather than a greenfield site) and the project's location in an area served by local
and regional shuttle and transit systems, the proposed project would not impede the state's ability to
reach the emission reduction limits/standards set forth by the State of California by Executive Order S-
3-05 and AB 32. For these reasons, this project would not make a cumulatively considerable
contribution to global climate change associated with greenhouse gas emissions.
The measures to reduce energy use have not been specifically identified. Final measures to reduce
energy use and emissions would be prepared during the building permit process. The project includes
components that will offset the project's potential minor incremental contribution to global climate
change. These include:
• Cal Green Tier 2 compliance
• Incorporate low-and zero-VOC products
• Interior design will incorporate sustainability harvested, recyclable and renewable materials
• Location in proximity of existing public transportation network
• Incorporating materials and finishes to protect indoor air quality
• 75% diversion of construction and demolition debris
• Sharing the back of house and support facilities such as laundry and storage, reducing the need
for additional built area and on-site equipment and conserving energy use

DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in x
the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment,
and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or
"potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least
one effect: 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures
based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the
effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed
adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to
711 EI Camino Real 13PLN-00017 Page 32 Mitigated Negative Declaration
applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that
earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation
measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

Summary of Mitigation Measures
Mitigation Measures C-1: The effects of construction activities would be increased .dustfall and locally
elevated levels of particulate matter downwind of construction activity. Construction dust has the potential for
creating a nuisance at nearby properties. This impact is considered potentially significant but normally
mitigable by implementing the following control measures:
During demolition of existing structures:
• Water active demolition areas to control dust generation during demolition and pavement break-up.
• Cover all trucks hauling demolition debris from the site.
• Use dust-proof chutes to load debris into trucks whenever feasible.
• During all construction phases:
• Pave, apply water 3x1daily, or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers on all unpaved access roads, parking
areas, and staging areas at construction sites.
• Hydroseed or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers to inactive construction areas (previously graded areas
inactive for ten days or more).
• Enclose, cover, water 2x1daily, or apply (non-toxic) soil binders to exposed stockpiles (dirt, sand, etc.).
• Limit traffic speeds on unpaved roads to IS miles per hour.
• Install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to public roadways.
• Replant vegetation in disturbed areas as quickly as possible.
Mitigation Measures F -1: The design of all buildings shall be designed in accordance with current earthquake
resistant standards, including the 2001 CBC guidelines and design recommendations regarding the potential for
localized liquefaction presented in the Geotechnical Investigation provided by Murray Engineers.
Mitigation Measures H-l: After demolition of the existing structures and prior to off-hauling of fill and native soil from
the site, an additional eight soil samples shall be collected to evaluate lead concentrations using ProDCL,
human-health risk program. If contaminated soil is found to be present, it will be disposed of at an appropriate
licensed facility in compliance with federal and state regulations.

Agenda Date: May 16,2013
To: Architectural Review Board
From:
Subject:
Amy French
Chief Planning Official
LED Fixture Modification Associated with
Architectural Review Approval [10PLN-00196]
RECOMMENDATION
Staff Report
Department: Planning and
Community Environment
Staff recommends that the Architectural Review Board (ARB) subcommittee review the attached
description and view the fixture in the Council Chambers on May 16, 2013 and provide comments to
the Utilities Engineering staff prior to staff approval. The revised fixture would replace 2300
(approximately) high pressure sodium fixtures in Palo Alto in both residential and commercial areas.
BACKGROUND
On June 17, 2010, the ARB subcommittee reviewed the proposal by Utilities Engineering staff to
replace high pressure sodium streetlight fixtures on a limited basis (Agenda attached), helping
the applicant to select the shape and style of the fixtures. On June 22, 2010, an approval of the
Architectural Review application was issued.
DISCUSSION
The revised fixture style has many economic and other important benefits, outlined by Utilities
Engineering staff in the attached letter. The selected fixture is smaller and thus less obtrusive.
The fixture can be customized as needed; for example, the fixtures can be easily adjusted with
house side shields to divert light away from residential homes (also knowsn as protection against
light trespass). And the fixture can be quickly and safely fixed with the 'power door', not
previously available in street lighting. Finally, the new LEDs are not that bright blue color seen
in the last generation of LED fixtures.

Hi Amy,
Thanks for meeting with us and Cooper's representative on Thursday, May 2,2013 for reviewing
the energy efficient light emitting diode (LED) street lighting fixture that we plan to procure for
our next phase of street lighting conversion project. Approximately, 2300 nos. of existing high
pressure sodium fixtures (HPS) shall be replaced with new LED fixtures in the residential and
commercial areas to create neighborhood identity, enhance business activity and achieve a key
sustainability goal. Cooper is the lowest bidder and they have submitted their bid through
Express Energy who is an established contractor for performing high volume of electrical
installation work.
Cooper is one of our approved manufacturers for supplying LED street lighting fixtures and they
have also participated in our pilot program that we conducted 3-4 years back for selecting the
right LED street lighting fixture. LED street lighting fixtures that were installed during the pilot
program were cobra head style.
LED lighting teclmology has been changing very rapidly and matured during the recent years.
Cooper has adapted new trends and made significant improvements in their fixture's design.
LED lighting fixtures that are available now in the market are relatively more efficient and less
expensive compared to the ones we purchased 2-3 years back. The new LED street lighting
fixture is in a rectangular shape and offers the following distinct advantages:
1. Lower Price below $300.00 for 70W equivalent HPS and approximately $600.00 for
250W equivalent HPS.
2. 10kv surge protection-more than doubling the protection over the current fixtures
resulting in less replacement
3. Small fixture housing -allowing fixture to be less obtrusive and blend more easily
4. Rotatable Optics-flexibility with moving the light pattern can help eliminate less light
trespass or improved task lumens
5. Custom optic capabilities available-providing solutions for any optic complication
6. Improved Optics -that will light intersections more efficiently
7. Power Door-allowing quick installation, reduced maintenance costs, and safe
replacement
8. House side shields-allowing further protection against light trespass
9. Fixture weighs less than 15lbs wJ.:tich makes it easy for installation from operational
perspectives '
10. Warranty 10 years with 90% of initial lumen output at 100,000 hours
Cooper's LED street lighting fixtures' model numbers XNV -XX-OI-D-U-2-10K-4-700-AP,
NVN-XX-03-D-U-SL2-1 OK-4-700-AP, XNV -XX-OI-D-8-2-1 OK-4-700-AP & NVN-XX-03-D-
8-SL2-10K-4-700-AP comply with our technical specifications. All these models are in the same
Page 1 of2
style but with different wattages and voltages for our specific applications. Cooper's fixture
delivers state-of-the-art optical control, low maintenance cost; superior performance and
configurability provide uniform glare-free, energy-efficient light for streets.
You have been kind enough to provide your feedback on Cooper's new LED street lighting
fixture. As discussed in our meeting, I would like you to run the sample fixture's photograph that
you have taken through the ARB subcommittee and inform us if Cooper's new LED fixture is
acceptable to them.
Please feel free to let me know, if you need Cooper's sample LED street lighting fixture to be
presented before the subcommittee on May 16, 2013 or need any additional information.
Once again, thanks for your time and I look forward hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Gopal

Subject: Replacement of City Streetlight Fixtures with LED light fixtures [lOPLN-00196]
Dear Mr. Valath:
On June 22, 2010, the Architectural Review application for the project referenced below was
conditionally approved by the Planning Manager on behalf of the Director of Planning and
Community Environment, as recommended by the Architectural Review Board (ARB)
subcommittee.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Request by City of Palo Alto Utilities Electrical Engineering for Architectural Review of Light
Emitting Diode (LED) street light fixtures proposed to replace the existing high pressure sodium
streetlight fixtures on a limited basis (approximately 10% of total fixtures Citywide). The ARB
subcommittee assisted City staff in the selection of the shape and style of lighting fixtures
consistent with prior ARB approvals of lighting in the right of way. The ARB-preferred fixture is
the GE fixtures displayed at Ramona Street and Forest Avenue (CAT#20ERMCOA160A2GRA Y,
6000 degree Kelvin, equivalent to existing 150W HPS lighting fixtures) and at Colorado Avenue
between Louis and Greer Roads (CAT # 1 OERMCOA460A2GRA Y, 6000 Degree Kelvin,
equivalent to existing 100W HPS lighting fixture.)
The approval is based upon the finding that the proposed improvements, the fixture replacements,
comply with the Standards for Review (PAMC Chapter 18.76.020(d)) and design guidelines
adopted by the Architectural Review Board.
This Director's decision shall become final fourteen calendar (14) days following the postmark date
of this letter, unless a request for hearing is filed pursuant to PAMC Chapter 18.78.
Should you have any questions regarding this action, please do not hesitate to call me at (650) 329-
2336.
Sincerely,
Amy French, AICP
Manager of Current Planning
