MOTION: Council Member Kleinberg, seconded by Morton to approve the

Ordinance 4821 entitled “Ordinance of the Council of the City of
Palo Alto Amending the Budget for the Fiscall-Year 2003-04 to
Adjust Budgeted Revenues and Expenditures in Accordance with the
Recommendations in the Midyear Report”
The 2003-04 mid-year Capital Improvement Program Projects Status Report
is an information item (Attachment 2). A list of continuous projects follows
the summary (Attachment 3). No action is required on those two items.
Council Member Kleinberg said the Finance Committee had thoroughly
examined and analyzed the City's financial matters, and voted unanimously
to accept staff's recommendations. The Mid-Year Report showed the General
Fund was projected to remain balanced through June 2004. She
complemented the previous Finance Committee for their wisdom in handling
the two-year budget because it anticipated the State's economic situation
and Palo Alto was far better off than other similarly situated cities in the Bay
Area.
Council Member Morton expressed his thanks to the Chair of the Finance
Committee for recognizing the hard work put in by the previous Finance
Committee. He urged his colleagues to support the recommended changes.
Council Member Freeman said the Finance Department staff was still working
on refining the Mid-Year Report so various degrees of detail could be looked
at in the future.
MOTION PASSED 9-0.

the item to a date uncertain.
MOTION PASSED 9-0.
03/15/04 97-270
*10. Public Hearing: The City Council will consider a request by BKF
Engineers on behalf of Palo Alto High Street Partners for a Tentative
Map for Property Located at 800 High Street for the Development of a
60 Unit Condominium Project; the Property Consists of a 41,993
Square-Foot Parcel, Which was Created by the Merger of Three
Parcels. Environmental Assessment: An Environmental Impact
Report Was Certified By The City Council on February 3, 2003. Zone
District: Planned Community (PC) 4779. *This item was quasi-judicial and subject to Council's Disclosure Policy
Planner Steven Turner said the application before the Council was a request
for a Tentative Map on the site known as 800 High Street. The Tentative Map
was a necessary step of the mapping process that would result in the
creation of 60 condominium units as part of the Council's approved plans for
establishing the Planned Community (PC) zoning. The project site originally
contained three lots totally 41,997 square feet in area. The applicant
received a Certificate of Compliance to merge the three lots into a single
parcel. Upon Council’s approval of the Tentative Map, the applicant would
submit plans for the Final Map, which would incorporate all pertinent
conditions of the Tentative Map. The recommended Conditions of Approval,
as outlined in Attachment A of CMR:188:04, related directly to the mapping
process and the pre-construction activities that were required prior to the
issuance of the various building permits.
Mayor Beecham declared the Public Hearing open at 7:37 p.m. and receiving
no requests to speak declared the Public Hearing closed.
MOTION: Vice Mayor Burch moved, seconded by Kleinberg, to approve the
staff and Planning and Transportation Commission recommendations to
approve the Tentative Map for the project at 800 High Street, subject to the
Conditions of Approval (Attachment A of CMR:188:04).
Vice Mayor Burch expressed support for the project.
MOTION PASSED 9-0.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
11. 2957 Waverley Avenue: Application by Chuck Bradley for a Partial
Refund of Development Impact Fees Paid in November 2002 on a
Second Residential Unit Constructed in Conjunction with a
Replacement Home (Item continued from 03/01/04)
Senior Assistant City Attorney Bill Mayfield said the application before the
Council was a request to approve an ordinance relating to the imposition and
collection of certain development impact fees on residential dwelling units
03/15/04 97-271
smaller than or equal to 900 square feet. The application would effectuate a
partial refund to all applicable developments approved on or after the date
the original fee was established (January 29, 2002).
Chuck Bradley, 2957 Waverley Street, said the situation of the refund could
have been avoided had he been properly informed as to how the law actually
worked. At the Council meeting of March 1, 2004, the Director of Planning
and Community Environment attested he would have allowed a three-week
delay in order to take advantage of the lower fee. He urged the Council to
treat him the same as anyone else who had been approved for a Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) after September 17, 2002.
Mayor Beecham asked whether the ordinance being introduced that evening
was for a first reading with a second reading coming at a later date.
Mr. Mayfield said no. Staff’s recommendation was for Council to consider the
protest and make a decision on whether or not to honor the protest. If the
Council voted to accept the spirit of the protest, the mechanism provided to
Council would entail an ordinance, which needed to be introduced and
adopted at a later time.
Council Member Freeman asked for an explanation on how the reduced fees
would be applied retroactively.
Mr. Mayfield the City Council had the power to make retroactive decisions
and could alter the fees retroactively.
MOTION: Vice Mayor Burch moved, seconded by Cordell, to approve the
staff recommendation to consider the request for partial refund and direct
staff to introduce an ordinance clarifying the Council’s intent to make the
reduced fees for multi-family residential dwelling units smaller than or equal
to 900 square feet apply retroactively to all applicable developments
approved on or after the date the original fee was established (January 29,
2002).
Vice Mayor Burch said he believed it was the fair thing to do for all the
projects similarly affected by the fee change.
Council Member Cordell complemented Special Counsel Dan Sodergren for
responding to Council’s many questions on the issue. She also believed it
was the fair and just thing to do.
Council Member Mossar thanked staff for coming up with the mechanism to
address the concern.
03/15/04 97-272
Council Member Kleinberg thanked her colleagues for their persistence in the
matter and for looking to see whether other property owners were affected.
She did not believe a mistake had been made, but that staff was unaware an
ordinance had been passed that was not retroactive.
MOTION PASSED 9-0.
COUNCIL MATTERS
12. Colleagues Memo from Mayor Beecham and Council Member Kishimoto
regarding a request to staff to forward letter to the Valley
Transportation Authority
Council Member Kishimoto said in 2000, voters throughout the County
supported Measure A, which promised to pay for a wide variety of transit
projects, including Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) to San Jose, Caltrain
expansion and electrification, and Bus Rapid Transit to name a few. The
Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) was presently in a
financial and organizational crisis, and could fund only two projects besides
operating assistance, BART to San Jose and Downtown East Valley Light Rail.
A number of Council Members from North County cities met to discuss the
issue and agreed to ask their respective city councils to approve and send a
letter, which was attached to the Colleagues Memo. Projects which are not
recommended for the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) that were
otherwise omitted would not be eligible to receive state or federal funding.
Council Member Mossar said in 2003, the Council sent two letters to the VTA
Board. One focused on transportation projects that Palo Altans would benefit from in the approval of Measure A, and the second letter addressed the
composition of the VTA Board and asked for better representation for every
city in the County. VTA was formed by a state legislative act to bring both
Congestion Management Planning and Transportation Planning under one
roof. She believed it was time the cities of North County came together with
the understanding of making the necessary structural changes. Palo Alto,
through VTA had been successful in attracting both state and federal
transportation funding. However, some of that funding was earmarked for
the highly popular project, BART to San Jose. It was poor policy to assume
popular projects were all the public cared about. The composition of the VTA
Board changed considerably in January 2004, in that Palo Alto no longer had
a seat on the Board. It would now share a seat with a representative from
Los Altos. That meant Palo Alto would now have to work regionally on the
issue.
Robert Moss, 4010 Orme Street, said he had previously expressed opposition
to Council’s support of Measure A because he felt the Measure would only
03/15/04 97-273
fund BART to San Jose and when funds ran out for anything else, the people
in North County would lose out. He believed light rail and BART were losers
in terms of being fair to everyone. North County should be looking at
projects, which could be used to operate existing transit and bus lines
effectively to get people out of their cars now, not in 2030.
Council Member Kleinberg asked whether matching funds from Measure A
were being jeopardized because North County was not getting its
transportation projects. She would like the letter to include a re-examination
of the transit and Measure A priorities.
Council Member Mossar said if North County was not on the region’s priority
list it could not get state and federal funding. It was not, however, a
matching funds issue. She clarified Palo Alto contributed proportionately
more sales tax revenues to Measure A than other communities, and argued
that although regional priorities were important, Palo Alto should be able to
get something back in return. At that time, extra dollars were needed for
Palo Alto's local shuttle system; however, the VTA would only provide
funding for existing VTA transit service to Palo Alto.
Council Member Ojakian said the VTA was made up of a 12-member Board.
Seven of the voting members were from South County and had the majority
vote. Eighty percent of the money that came from Measure A would be spent
by 2025. The remaining 20 percent, or approximately $1 billion would be
spent between the years 2025 through 2030, and was spread out among the
remaining projects. The issue before the Council dealt with both the funding
distribution and the criteria used to determine on how the funds were
distributed. The key point was although the City did not have the leverage to get anything done, it could take a strong stand on how to vote on taxation
down the road.
Council Member Kishimoto said in response to Council Member Kleinberg,
the strong support of the recently passed Measure 2, bridge toll increase,
strengthened the funding for the Dumbarton Rail. However, it was also
predicated on VTA paying its share, which was $44 million out of $278
million. Under the present scenario it was not slated to happen.
Council Member Kleinberg asked what would happen to the Measure 2
monies.
Council Member Mossar said other projects would use it up. There was no
shortage of ways to spend transportation dollars in the Bay Area.
Council Member Kishimoto said she was not sending a message to the VTA
of just wanting money for Palo Alto or North County. The City wanted to buy
03/15/04 97-274
into the countywide visionary approach to transportation. When the Valley
Transportation Project (VTP) 2020 came out a few years prior, it forecasted
the greatest increase in travel demand would come from North County.
MOTION: Council Member Kishimoto moved, seconded by Beecham, to
approve a letter to Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) to join other North
County cities in asking the VTA Board and staff to re-examine the transit and
Measure A priorities for the next 25 years.
Mayor Beecham said voters approved Measure A and the money had been
set forth. The monies that were committed in good faith to North County
would not be seen for a long time, if ever.
MOTION PASSED 9-0.
COUNCIL COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Council Member Kishimoto clarified to the Council that the Policy and
Services Committee item entitled “First Meeting of the Year” was regarding
the nomination and election process of Mayor and Vice Mayor.
Council Member Freeman said with regard to Item No. 4, she appreciates
understanding that the contract with Carollo Engineers would include
potential sites for reservoirs in addition to a comprehensive analysis of
alternatives. She requested staff answer the letter from Joy Ogawa
regarding BMR units at 800 High Street.
Assistant City Manager Emily Harrison noted that Ms. Ogawa was sent information on the BMR units.
Council Member Freeman noted children from Niihari Village, Japan were
presently visiting Palo Alto.
