Page 1 of 7 Architectural Review Board Staff Report From: Jonathan Lait, Planning and Development Services Director Lead Department: Planning and Development Services Meeting Date: September 21, 2023 Report #: 2308-1965 TITLE PUBLIC HEARING / QUASI-JUDICIAL. 180 El Camino Real [23PLN-00009]: Recommendation on Applicant’s Request for Major Architectural Review of a new storefront façade including new glazing and signage within Space #820B, Bldg. V (#v820B) for “Arhaus” at the Stanford Shopping Center. Environmental Assessment: Exempt from CEQA per Section 15301 (Existing Facilities). Zoning District: CC (Community Commercial) RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Architectural Review Board (ARB) take the following action(s): 1. Recommend approval of the proposed project to the Director of Planning and Development Services based on the findings in Attachment B and subject to the conditions of approval in Attachment C. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed project is exterior and interior improvements to an existing retail space for a new retail tenant, Arhaus, at the Stanford Shopping Center. Arhaus would replace the former American Girl Doll store in Space #820B, Building V. The Master Tenant Façade and Sign Program (MTFSP) for the Stanford Shopping Center requires an Architectural Review of exterior changes to tenant spaces facing a public right-of-way. The project originally appeared before the ARB as an Action Item on June 15, 2023. At the hearing, the ARB requested additional information for the project related to bike parking, soffit materials, grout color for the proposed Aged Belgium Brick and updated renderings and directed staff to return to an ARB Ad Hoc Committee with the additional information. The ARB Ad Hoc Committee meeting was held August 3, 2023, with Board Members Thompson and Rosenberg presiding over the committee. The requested details were discussed, and each item was determined to be adequately addressed except for the proposed grout color for the Aged Belgium Brick. Rather than providing details for the grout color to the Ad Hoc Committee, the applicant’s team removed the proposed brick in its entirety and replaced the material with a Item 2 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 13     Item No. 2. Page 2 of 7 newly proposed Terracotta Baguette system. The Ad Hoc Committee determined that the change in material was a significant change to the previously proposed design, beyond the scope of what the Ad Hoc Committee was assigned to review. Therefore, the Ad Hoc Committee and staff noted that the applicant could return with the requested grout color or bring the revised design back to the board for a recommendation on the project as revised. Therefore, staff is requesting a recommendation from the board based on the revised design. Other minor modifications that were made to the plans are discussed further in this report. Overall, staff believes that the proposed project continues to be consistent with the ARB findings for approval and recommends that the ARB recommend approval of the proposed project, as revised. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant requests approval of a Minor Board Level Architectural Review application to allow for an exterior tenant improvement, which includes a new storefront façade, storefront glazing and new signage for “Arhaus” (Space #820B, Building V – formally “American Girl”), a new retail tenant at the Stanford Shopping Center. Requested Entitlements, Findings and Purview: The following discretionary application(s) are being requested: Architectural Review – Major (AR): The process for evaluating this type of application is set forth in PAMC 18.77.070. AR applications are reviewed by the ARB and recommendations are forwarded to the Planning & Development Services Director for action within five business days of the Board’s recommendation. Action by the Director is appealable to the City Council if the appeal is filed within 14 days of the decision. AR projects are evaluated against specific findings. All findings must be made in the affirmative to approve the project. Failure to make any single finding requires project redesign or denial. The findings to approve an AR application are provided in Attachment B.

The Stanford Shopping Center is defined within the Municipal Code as all properties zoned CC and bounded by El Camino Real, Sand Hill Road, Quarry Road, and Vineyard Lane. The Stanford Shopping Center has an open-air pedestrian environment defined by a mixture of retail, dining, professional and general business offices, and personal service uses. The project space is a street-facing tenant space within Building V of the Stanford Shopping Center. The façade length is over 35 feet and faces Sand Hill Road. Therefore, the Architectural Review application is reviewed by the ARB. Façade Changes The facades present to Starbucks, Zero&, Brighton, and the California Pizza Kitchen, as well as to the parking lot located off Sand Hill Road. The existing stucco plaster façade has three colors: tan, white, and a rosy pink. The existing landscaping includes potted plants, planter boxes, and trees lining the adjacent pedestrian paseo and sidewalks surrounding the tenant space. There are existing wall signs and canopy signs on the facades of the building and the existing façade design extends the full height of the building, consistent with the MTFSP design standards. The ARB previously recommended approval of the façade design; however, the design has been modified to provide two alternating colors of terracotta baguette arranged in vertical columns on the façade in-lieu of the previously proposed aged Belgium brick. Staff notes that the applicant has also revised the proposed color of the Equitone panels to better match the new baguette system and carried the Natural IPE used at the canopy soffit to portions of the façade. Staff believes that the project, with the proposed material change, is still consistent with the ARB’s findings and fits well with the overall design of the façade. The new storefront design features a contemporary façade design primarily inclusive of metals with a terra cotta baguette system, specialty aluminum panels, glass, and fiber concrete accents in dark and warm tones. The upper and lower portions of each façade include a steel rainscreen panel system, anodized aluminum curtainwall, metal coping, Natural Ipe wood and a terra cotta baguette system. The Item 2 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 16     Item No. 2. Page 5 of 7 proposed façade design will extend the full height of the building, maintaining consistency with the MTFSP design standards. The project’s design and materials appear cohesive and consistent with those found within the Shopping Center and will update a corner entry to the interior of the Shopping Center. Signage The proposed signage includes wall signs and a blade sign. Each wall sign will read “Arhaus.” The wall signs consist of 3/16-inch thick, cut-out acrylic letters that will be lit by rear LED lighting. Both the primary and secondary façades will have white copy on the acrylic letters. The blade sign would also be illuminated with LED lighting and include an aluminum backer and acrylic lettering. The Master Tenant Façade & Sign Program (MTFSP 15PLN-00040) sets forth the sign limitations for the Stanford Shopping Center. As shown in the plan set, the primary wall sign would be limited to 24” maximum heights, which the current design meets. Additionally, the proposed blade sign meets the maximum dimension for blades at 24” x 15”. Attachment C summarizes the project’s consistency with all applicable requirements for sign size and location. Zoning Compliance1 The Palo Alto Municipal Code Section 18.16.060(e)(3) states that the maximum floor area for the Stanford Shopping Center is limited to 1,412,362 square feet. The proposed project would not change the building envelope, nor would it add any outdoor uses. A draft spreadsheet of all Stanford Shopping Center building areas is provided on Sheet G102.2 of the plan set (and an updated sheet will be available at the hearing). No site plan changes will occur and therefore, no changes are proposed to the access, circulation, and parking facilities. The proposed project complies with all applicable codes within the Zoning Ordinance. Attachment D provides a summary table of the zoning compliance information for this project. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, Area Plans and Guidelines2 The Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan includes Goals, Policies, and Programs that guide the physical form of the City. The Comprehensive Plan provides the basis for the City’s development regulations used by City staff to regulate building and development and make recommendations on projects. Architectural Review Finding #1 requires designs to be consistent and compatible with applicable elements of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the Stanford Shopping Center as a regional center with a land use designation of Community Commercial. The project is consistent with the policies in the Comprehensive Plan and; therefore; fulfills the goals of the Plan. Attachment B provides a detailed review of the project’s consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. 1 The Palo Alto Zoning Code is available online: http://www.amlegal.com/codes/client/palo-alto_ca 2 The Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan is available online: http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/gov/topics/projects/landuse/compplan.asp Item 2 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 17     Item No. 2. Page 6 of 7 Multi-Modal Access & Parking The project site has multi-modal access and parking facilities, with amenities for pedestrians, bicyclists, private automobiles, and public transit (VTA, Caltrain, and SAMTRANS). The existing buildings within the site are surrounded by surface level parking lots with two multi-level parking structures located at the southern portion of the site along Quarry Road. The Landlord recently installed approximately 76 short-term bicycle parking stalls at the Stanford Shopping Center. 20 of those spaces will fulfill bicycle parking requirements from previous ARB approvals and six spaces will be used for Arhaus. 50 excess short-term bicycle parking spaces remain at the center. Throughout the site, pedestrian amenities include outdoor seating areas, planters, fountains, interactive maps, pedestrian-level lighting, and public art. Consistency with Application Findings The project, inclusive of the proposed material change from what was previously reviewed by the ARB, is consistent with the required findings as shown in Attachment B. The project will renovate an existing tenant space that will strengthen the Stanford Shopping Center position as a premier regional shopping center with distinctive businesses and an open, appealing pedestrian environment. The improvements contribute to the exclusive retail, dining, and personal service experience of the Stanford Shopping Center.

Finding #1: The design is consistent with applicable provisions of the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, coordinated area plans (including compatibility requirements), and any relevant design guides. The project would need to be found in conformance with the following Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies. Comp Plan Goals and Policies How project adheres or does not adhere to Comp Plan The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the site is Regional Commercial. The project continues the Regional Commercial land use. Land Use and Community Design Element POLICY L-4.9: Maintain Stanford Shopping Center as one of the Bay Area’s premiere regional shopping centers. Promote bicycle and pedestrian use and encourage any new development at the Center to occur through infill. The proposed project would modify the exterior storefront of one (1) existing retail tenant space and replace it with a new retail tenant. The proposed modifications to the exterior of the storefront are cohesive and consistent with designs found throughout the center and would further enhance the Sand Hill Road entry into the shopping center, helping to maintain the center’s regional significance. Policy L-1.11: Hold new development to the highest development standards in order to maintain Palo Alto’s livability and achieve the highest quality development with the least impacts. The proposal has been reviewed against the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan, the PAMC, the Stanford Shopping Center Master Tenant Façade and Sign Program as well as applicable design guidelines to determine consistency with all regulations and standards. Proposed materials and colors have also been reviewed for consistency with Palo Alto’s design quality standards. Item 2 Attachment B - Draft Findings for Approval     Packet Pg. 21     The proposal has been found to be consistent with standards and will result in a high-quality development. As previously mentioned, the proposal will replace an existing retail tenant with another retail tenant and proposes to modify the exterior façade of the tenant space and no new areas of the overall site would be disturbed; thereby, lessening potential impacts from the project. Program L-2.4.2: Allow housing at Stanford Shopping Center, provided that adequate parking and vibrant retail is maintained and no reduction of retail square footage results from the new housing. Not applicable as housing is not a part of this proposal. Policy L-2.9: Facilitate reuse of existing buildings.The proposed project would modify the exterior façade of an existing retail tenant space and replace it with a new retail tenant. Existing buildings would be used, and no new buildings are proposed. Policy L-2.11: Encourage new development and redevelopment to incorporate greenery and natural features such as green rooftops, pocket parks, plazas and rain gardens. The proposal includes a built-in planter that will help frame a prominent corner of the entry area into the space. The planter will include drought tolerant plants and will hand watered every one to two weeks. In addition, the planter will contain a reservoir that will act as an irrigation system by watering the plant’s roots in between each hand watering. Lastly, the Stanford Shopping Center includes multiple landscaped areas throughout the center inclusive of a variety of tress and planters just outside of the subject tenant space. Policy L-4.1: Encourage the upgrading and revitalization of selected Centers in a manner that is compatible with the character of surrounding neighborhoods, without loss of retail and existing small, local businesses. The proposed project would upgrade an existing tenant space within the Stanford Shopping Center and is cohesive and compatible with existing designs found throughout the center. This location was previously a retail tenant and will remain a retail tenant; therefore, no loss of retail would occur. Policy L-4.4: Ensure all Regional Centers and The existing and proposed front facades Item 2 Attachment B - Draft Findings for Approval     Packet Pg. 22     Multi-Neighborhood Centers provide centrally located gathering spaces that create a sense of identity and encourage economic revitalization. Encourage public amenities such as benches, street trees, kiosks, restrooms and public art. includes covered patio type areas along the entries into the space. One corner of the building includes a proposed landscape planter that will frame the entry and create a small gathering space. In addition, the Stanford Shopping Center provides multiple gathering spaces and public amenities located throughout the center that are available for use, including a number of planter walls, landscaping a seating just outside of the subject tenant space. Program L-4.2.3: Explore and potentially support new, creative and innovative retail in Palo Alto. The proposed project would replace an existing retail tenant by adding a new retail tenant to the Stanford Shopping Center and will provide additional variety to patrons of the center. Policy B-6.3: Work with appropriate stakeholders, leaseholders, and Stanford University to ensure that the Stanford Shopping Center is sustained as a distinctive, economically competitive and high quality regional shopping center. GOAL L-6: Well-designed Buildings that Create Coherent Development Patterns and Enhance City Streets and Public Spaces. The proposed project has also been reviewed by Stanford University and Simon Mall Management in order to ensure consistency with the Master Tenant Façade and Sign Program as well as ensure consistency with the existing Shopping Center. The project design has been found to be consistent with the Master Program standards and cohesive with the overall Shopping Center. The design of the proposed façade is cohesive with existing facades within the Stanford Shopping Center. Improvements have not been proposed to any City Streets or public spaces within the Shopping Center as a result of this project; however, the improved façade will be more aesthetically pleasing to those entering the Shopping Center from Sand Hill Road and for those patrons using the public spaces located near the tenant space. Policy L-5: Maintain the scale and character of the City. Avoid land uses that are overwhelming and unacceptable due their size and scale. The proposal is located within the Stanford Shopping Center which has previously be found to maintain the scale and character of Item 2 Attachment B - Draft Findings for Approval     Packet Pg. 23     the City. The proposed use is a retail tenant that will replace an existing retail tenant; therefore, the proposed land use will not be overwhelming and unacceptable due to the size and scale of the operation. The project would be required to be consistent with the zoning requirements and the Master Façade and Sign program for the Stanford Shopping Center. Finding #2: The project has a unified and coherent design, that: a. creates an internal sense of order and desirable environment for occupants, visitors, and the general community, b. preserves, respects and integrates existing natural features that contribute positively to the site and the historic character including historic resources of the area when relevant, c. is consistent with the context-based design criteria of the applicable zone district, d. provides harmonious transitions in scale, mass and character to adjacent land uses and land use designations, e. enhances living conditions on the site (if it includes residential uses) and in adjacent residential areas. Pursuant to PAMC 18.16.090(b), the following context-based design considerations and findings are applicable to this project. These context-based design criteria are intended to provide additional standards to be used in the design and evaluation of development in a commercial district. The purpose is to encourage development in a commercial district to be responsible to its context and compatibility with adjacent development as well as to promote the establishment of pedestrian oriented design. 1. Pedestrian and Bicycle Environment Project Consistency The design of new projects shall promote pedestrian walkability, a bicycle friendly environment, and connectivity through design elements An existing pedestrian walkway is located adjacent to the subject tenant space and will not be removed as a result of this project. The project will add another landscape planter at the corner of the building which will further enhance the existing pedestrian space for patrons to the center. Furthermore, the area surrounding the tenant space includes existing bike racks and bike lockers that are located along the main façade of the tenant space. 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 projects proposed a new façade includes a well designed mixture of colors and materials that would enliven the pedestrian entry for this portion of the Shopping Center. The proposed Item 2 Attachment B - Draft Findings for Approval     Packet Pg. 24     new façade would be pushed back 8’3 from its existing location; thereby, widening the space along the primary façade and encouraging additional pedestrian activity by providing larger walkways and patio type areas. The proposed planter at the entry area would further enhance the pedestrian activity for the center as it will provide an additional gathering space for this area of the center. 3. Massing and Setbacks Buildings shall be designed to minimize massing and conform to proper setbacks The proposed project will increase the existing building setback for the subject tenant space as the façade will be pushed back by 8’3. Setbacks will remain consistent with PAMC required standards. The massing of the building will remain as is. 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 does not apply. 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 This finding does not apply. 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 proposed project will reduce the overall gross floor area of the tenant space and thereby reducing the overall number of required parking for the shopping center by one parking space. The center is currently over parked based on the code requirements for the Shopping Center and will remain as such as a result of this proposal. None of the proposed changes modify the overall size and shape of the existing parking facilities (parking lots and garages), resulting in no impacts to the character of site or the pedestrian environment. 7. Large Multi-Acre Sites Large sites (over one acre) shall be designed so that street, block, and building patterns are consistent with those of the surrounding neighborhood This finding does not apply 8. Sustainability and Green Building Item 2 Attachment B - Draft Findings for Approval     Packet Pg. 25     Design Project design and materials to achieve sustainability and green building design should be incorporated into the project The project will utilize energy efficient LED lighting and will include new plants that are low water usage. The project will also conform to Green Building Energy codes for commercial businesses. Finding #3: The design is of high aesthetic quality, using high quality, integrated materials and appropriate construction techniques, and incorporating textures, colors, and other details that are compatible with and enhance the surrounding area. The proposed façade design is utilizing high-quality exterior materials and finishes that are balanced in the design, the proposed fiber cement panels, steel rainscreen panel system, aluminum curtain wall, aluminum composite, Natural Ipe wood and a terra cotta baguette system complement the existing adjacent tenant spaces ad storefronts in this area of the center. The color palette consists of varying tones of blacks and greys with the rainscreen panels consisting of a rust/bronze color while the wood and terra cotta baguette system introduces warmer tones to the facades. Signage will include acrylic lettering for both wall signs and the blade sign. In addition, the blade sign blade sign will contain an aluminum backer and all signage will be lit using white LEDs, providing a high-end appearance that is aesthetically pleasing and typical of the Shopping Center. Finding #4: The design is functional, allowing for ease and safety of pedestrian and bicycle traffic and providing for elements that support the building’s necessary operations (e.g. convenient vehicle access to property and utilities, appropriate arrangement and amount of open space and integrated signage, if applicable, etc.). The subject building is existing, and the project does not propose any modifications to the Shopping Center’s roadways and will enhance the width of the sidewalk along the primary façade as the façade will be pushed back by 8’3; therefore, the existing circulation improvements will remain in place and be enhanced. The signage is well placed and consistent with the MTFS program signage regulations providing signage that is in scale with both pedestrians and automobiles entering the Shopping Center from Sand Hill Road. The white, acrylic channel lettering with LED lighting located on the façades of the building provides great contrast and are easily visible to visitors of the Shopping Center. Finding #5: The landscape design complements and enhances the building design and its surroundings, is appropriate to the site’s functions, and utilizes to the extent practical, regional indigenous drought resistant plant material capable of providing desirable habitat that can be appropriately maintained. A variety of landscaping exists in the area surrounding the subject tenant space including trees, planter pots and walls. The project will add an additional planter with drought tolerant grass-like landscaping that will frame a corner at the entry into the tenant space. Sidewalks along the Item 2 Attachment B - Draft Findings for Approval     Packet Pg. 26     tenant façades will maintain a minimum width of 8 feet free and clear with the addition of the new landscape planter. In addition, existing mall planters and trees located along the adjacent parking fields will remain and will add to the overall landscaped area of the tenant space. Finding #6: The project incorporates design principles that achieve sustainability in areas related to energy efficiency, water conservation, building materials, landscaping, and site planning. The proposed project includes materials that consist of terra cotta, wood, metals, fiber cement, and glazing, many of which are readily recyclable. The project is also subject to the local energy and recycling codes.

Page 1 of 6 Architectural Review Board Staff Report From: Jonathan Lait, Planning and Development Services Director Lead Department: Planning and Development Services Meeting Date: September 21, 2023 Report #: 2308-1924 TITLE PUBLIC HEARING / QUASI-JUDICIAL. 3600 MIDDLEFIELD ROAD [23PLN-00160]: Recommendation on Applicant's Request for Major Architectural Review to allow the deconstruction of the existing Palo Alto Fire Station #4 and construction of a new 8,000 sf fire station. The application also includes a Variance request from the City's 50% shading canopy coverage in the parking lot. Environmental Assessment: Exempt from the Provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act in Accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 (Replacement) and 15303 (New Construction). Zoning District: PF (Public Facility). RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Architectural Review Board (ARB) take the following action(s): 1. Consider the project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15302 (reconstruction) and 15303 (small projects) 2. Recommend approval of the proposed project to the Director of Planning and Development Services based on findings and subject to conditions of approval. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The application is a request for Major Architectural Review to replace an existing one-story fire station (Palo Alto Fire Station #4) with a new one-story fire station in the same location at 3600 Middlefield Road. Site improvements include a new trash enclosure, emergency generator, and new screening walls/fences for equipment enclosures as well as revisions to the landscaping. The ARB held a study session to review the preliminary application on February 16, 2023 and reviewed the subject application at a formal hearing on August 3, 2023. Links to the staff reports, meeting minutes, and video recordings are provided in this report.1 This report summarizes key comments from the ARB as well as Public Works Engineering staff’s response to those comments. 1 The staff report, meeting minutes, and videos for the February and August 2023 hearings for this item are available online at: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Architectural- Review-Board-ARB/Current-ARB-Agendas-Minutes Item 3 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 36     Item No. 3. Page 2 of 6 Staff determined in its review of the formal application that an application for a variance, in addition to architectural review, was necessary to process the application as proposed. The variance is required to allow for less canopy coverage on the parking lot than is required under the zoning code. Staff’s review of the project concludes that the findings for Architectural Review as well as for the proposed variance can be met, as summarized in this report. ANALYSIS On August 3, 2023, the ARB held a first formal hearing to provide feedback on the proposed design. Comments from board members and the applicant’s responses are summarized in the following table. ARB Comments/Direction Applicant Response Materials Board. Provide a better-defined material board that is comprehensive/ complete of all materials used by the project. Incorporate bird safe glass into the building materials and provide a detail. A more comprehensive material board has been compiled and a digital copy has been included as Attachment G. Bird safe glass has been incorporated. Material Selection. Consider using different material than stucco along the Middlefield Road façade. The smooth finished stucco wall with a composition of subtle expansion joints integrated into the placement of the large aluminum frame window into the captain’s office is proposed to remain as the material dividing the dark aluminum frame/glass apparatus bays and the dark aluminum frame/glass of the lobby entry. The applicant believes that the crystal white stucco solution provides the correct contrasting balance between the adjacent glass elements. Public Connections. Consider providing greater openness along the building façade as it relates to interior function and public visibility/interaction with Fire Station staff. To improve the public connection to the firefighter personnel, the gate at the east edge of the Middlefield landscaping has been redesigned to be a Dutch gate facing the street. That gate now directly connects to an outdoor seating area in the street- side landscape to provide the firefighters with an outdoor meeting and relaxation space visible to the public. To improve openness and public visibility between indoor functions and the public, the revised plans include a set of windows Item 3 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 37     Item No. 3. Page 3 of 6 along the west wall of the day room. This window offers views to/from the day room to the front apron and the entrance plaza. Initiated in the original design concept and continued with this set of refinements, the entrance plaza has been a key feature in connecting the public and firefighters. The plaza has been further enhanced with added benches and the relocation of the bike racks (see Sheets C-2 and E-1). Signage. Present a conceptual sign design.The sign design inspiration is from Fire Station #3, modified to incorporate an oversized “4”. The signs are to be mounted on the exterior walls, both facing Middlefield Road and East Meadow Drive. Like Station #3, the sign material is envisioned to be solid aluminum letters that are pin mounted to extend proud of the tile wall surface (see Sheet E-1). Also similar to Station #3, the existing wood monument sign would remain. Roof Detail. Provide roof construction detailing (eave, pitch, slope). Notes and details have been added to further clarify the steel fascia, eave overhang, and roof slope (see Sheets E-1, H-1, and I-1 of the submitted plan set). Windows. Consider adding clerestory windows/skylights to the exercise room to introduce more natural light into the space. The ceiling of the exercise room has been increased and the revised exterior design now includes clerestory windows at the top of the west and south walls. In addition, the south and west exterior walls have been changed from stucco to tile rainscreen (see Sheet E-1). Staff Analysis of the Applicant’s Response Staff finds the proposed project plans adequately address ARB comments stated during the August 3, 2023 hearing. The applicant has provided the requested details regarding signage and roof detail as well as a complete materials board. Revisions were made, consistent with the ARB’s recommendation, to provide more natural light into the gym space and to revise the exterior connections to improve openness and public visibility of the outdoor areas. Although no changes were made to the stucco material along the frontage, staff believes that the project as proposed meets the architectural review findings for approval. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, Area Plans, and Guidelines Item 3 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 38     Item No. 3. Page 4 of 6 There are no coordinated area plans or guidelines that direct how development should be considered within this area of the City other than the Comprehensive Plan and its adopted goals, policies, and programs. The Comprehensive Plan provides the basis for the City’s development regulations and is used by City staff to regulate building and development and make recommendations on projects. On balance, the project is consistent with the policies in the Comprehensive Plan and therefore would fulfill the goals of the Plan as well. A detailed review of the project’s consistency with the Comprehensive Plan is provided in Attachment D. Zoning Compliance The proposed project is located on a Public Facility zoned parcel. The continued use of the site for a fire station is consistent with the uses allowed in the zoning ordinance. A detailed review of the proposed project’s consistency with applicable development standards of the zoning ordinance is provided in Attachment C. The proposed project complies with all applicable codes in a manner that is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance or is otherwise requesting to deviate from the zoning code in a manner that is consistent with the zoning ordinance. Parking Lot Shading Staff’s review of the formal application concluded that the project would be inconsistent with Palo Alto Municipal Code Section 18.54.040, which requires that surface parking areas be landscaped with tree plantings designed to result in 50 percent shading of parking lot surface areas within 15 years. Public Works Engineering has therefore revised the project description to include a request for a variance from this requirement. Variance applications are reviewed by staff and subject to the Director’s approval. Variance applications may be appealed, such an appeal would be subject to review and recommendation by the PTC and forwarded to the Council for decision. Staff believe the use is unique and the variance is needed to maintain the clearances and turning radius required for fire truck access. The findings for approval of a variance are included in Attachment D. FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT The proposed project is a capital improvement project for the City of Palo Alto (PE-18-004) and the total cost of the project is estimated to be approximately $15.3 million. In March 2022, the City Council reached out to its state representatives to request state funding for its infrastructure projects, including Fire Station #4 (Attachment F). In March 2023, Public Works staff was notified that the City received $5.2 million in grant funding through the state in order to replace Fire Station #4. However, in order to utilize this funding, the City is required to submit an executed construction contract by June 30, 2024 to the state. In order to achieve this goal, Public Works is seeking to complete the entitlement process no later than early October 2023. This would allow enough time for construction document development, building permit approval, bidding, and City Council approval. STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT The Palo Alto Municipal Code requires notice of this public hearing be published in a local paper and mailed to owners and occupants of property within 600 feet of the subject property at Item 3 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 39     Item No. 3. Page 5 of 6 least ten days in advance. Notice of a public hearing for this project was published in the Daily Post on September 8, 2023, which is 13 days in advance of the meeting. Postcard mailing occurred on September 6, 2023 which is 15 days in advance of the meeting. The ARB held a study session on February 16, 2023 to provide preliminary feedback on the proposed design. Following the study session, the City’s Public Works Engineering Division filed a formal application in June 2023. The ARB held a formal hearing on August 3, 2023 to allow for public comment on the proposed project and to provide comments on the proposed design. The August 3, 2023 summarized feedback received from boardmembers at the study session. The ARB’s comments from the August 3, 2023 ARB hearing are summarized in this report. No public comments were received at the study session or first hearing from members of the public. Public Comment No public comments were received at the study session or first hearing from members of the public. However; Public Works held an additional community meeting and conducted other outreach activities to raise awareness of the project. Public Works held a virtual community meeting on April 6, 2023. To advertise the meeting, Public Works staff walked door-to-door to talk to residents/hand out fliers on East Meadow Drive and Middlefield Road. At the virtual meeting, staff presented the same preliminary design that was presented at the ARB study session. The community’s response to the design was positive. Members of the public raised concerns regarding the construction timeline, resiliency of the fire station, and concerns about the amount of glass proposed on the building and how it may affect birds. Public Works staff also showcased the proposed design at the Municipal Service Center Open House on July 15, 2023 and provided a survey for public input on the design. The feedback provided by members of the public in both the survey and during the event was positive. Residents described the proposed design as “beautiful” and “good as is”. Most survey responses note that they would not want to change the proposed design. A member of the public also spoke at the April 20, 2023 ARB hearing to items not on the agenda and provided comments on this proposed project. The commenter noted disagreement with the ARB’s recommendations to upscale the project, stating that she felt that the design was already too large and should be downscaled instead. The commenter noted that the additional community amenities being proposed could already be found at the local library and also noted that the glass could impact birds. Public Works staff is keeping the community updated on the project via email newsletters and project webpage updates as well as notification of public meetings. Consistency with Application Findings Staff has prepared a detailed review of the proposed project’s consistency with the Findings for approval. The draft findings for the proposed project are provided in Attachment D. The proposed project appears to meet all applicable findings for Architectural Review and Variance approval. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Item 3 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 40     Item No. 3. Page 6 of 6 The subject project was assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s environmental regulations. Staff determined that the project is exempt from CEQA in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 (Replacement) and 15303 (Small Structures). The project replaces an existing fire station with a new fire station that will be used in substantially the same capacity. The project is also exempt in accordance with the Class 3 exemption because the proposed fire station is less than 10,000 square feet and located in an urban area. Although the building is not located on any historic register, because it is over 50 years old, the City hired a consultant architect with expertise in historic preservation to determine whether the existing building is eligible for the California Register of Historic Resources (CRHRH), which would make it ineligible for an exemption. The evaluation concluded that the building is ineligible for the CRHR and therefore is eligible for the above-mentioned categorical exemptions. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS In addition to the recommended action, the Architectural Review Board may: 1. Approve the project with modified findings or conditions; or 2. Continue the project to a date (un)certain.

This project will replace the existing single-story fire station constructed in 1953. Current site improvements include a fueling station, a private cellular tower, generator, and a small parking lot. It has served the community well but, due to operational changes, current space needs, new technologies, and resiliency demands, the existing station needs to be replaced. The current facility is staffed by two fire personnel with one active apparatus bay. The new facility will accommodate five fire personnel with two active apparatus bays and one reserve bay. This facility will also provide an alternate Emergency Operations Center / Training Room to serve both the Fire Department and public. Site improvements will include more parking for both firefighters and visitors, emergency generator, trash enclosure, and landscape. The site is located on the corner of a large block that includes Meadow Park, First Presbyterian Church, a little league field, and a library community center. In addition to meeting the operational requirements, the project design also recognizes the importance of the neighborhood context. The arrangement of spaces and exterior design must strike a balance between serving the essential life safety operations with the presentation of an open and inviting public image. The proposed design solution has a massing that is both pedestrian friendly and serves as a public safety beacon for the community. Our material selections have been driven by sustainability, maintenance, product availability, durability, after life reuse or recycling capability and neighborhood aesthetic factors. The fire station must be resilient and easy to maintain, with considerations for longevity and vandalism resistance. The proposed design also respects the influences of the surrounding buildings, such as the Covenant Presbyterian Church, Mitchell Park, and Library. Our goal for this study session is for the Architectural Review Board provide advice on the massing, site planning, and material selection.

Finding #1: The design is consistent with applicable provisions of the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, coordinated area plans (including compatibility requirements), and any relevant design guides. The project is consistent with Finding #1 because: The project is in conformance with the following Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies: Comprehensive Plan Goal/Policy Consistency Policy L-1.3: Infill development in the urban service area should be compatible with its surroundings and the overall scale and character of the city to ensure a compact, efficient development pattern. The project proposes to replace an aging one- story fire station with a new fire station that is designed with the low-scale, residential and commercial uses in mind. The wood-look material and stucco are similar materials used on surrounding buildings. Policy L-1.11: Hold new development to the highest development standards in order to maintain Palo Alto’s livability and achieve the highest quality development with the least impacts. The design of the project is well ordered and provides a coherent plan that is readily understood in the neighborhood context. The contemporary design is consistent with other designs along Middlefield Road and East Meadow Drive and adds to the aesthetic diversity of buildings within the immediate vicinity. Policy L-6.6 Design buildings to complement streets and public spaces; to promote personal safety, public health and wellbeing; and to enhance a sense of community safety. The proposal incorporates additional tree planting at the street and pedestrian entry plaza along Middlefield Road and East Meadow Drive. This will bolster the public’s experience when walking along the site on either road and help to make it a more pedestrian friendly environment. The additional tree planting will help to soften the views of the building when they are mature from the single-family residences across the street. Policy L-9.2 Encourage development that The project retains most parking along the Item 3 ATTACHMENT D - ARB- Variance Findings & Comp Plan Policies     Packet Pg. 45     2 3 3 6 Comprehensive Plan Goal/Policy Consistency creatively integrates parking into the project, including by locating it behind buildings or underground wherever possible, or by providing for shared use of parking areas. Encourage other alternatives to surface parking lots that minimize the amount of land devoted to parking while still maintaining safe streets, street trees, a vibrant local economy and sufficient parking to meet demand. rear of the property which will be screened behind a fence. Policy T-3.7 Encourage pedestrian-friendly design features such as sidewalks, street trees, on-street parking, gathering spaces, gardens, outdoor furniture, art and interesting architectural details. The proposal incorporates additional tree planting at the street and pedestrian entry plaza along the front of the property. This will bolster the public’s experience when walking along the site and help to make it a more pedestrian friendly environment. In addition, the building will incorporate a public meeting room for residents to use at the corner of East Meadow Drive and Middlefield Road that will help to activate this space. Policy N-2.1 Recognize the importance of the urban forest as a vital part of the city’s natural and green infrastructure network that contributes to public health, resiliency, habitat values, appreciation of natural systems and an attractive visual character which must be protected and enhanced. The applicant has proposed to plant additional trees along the Middlefield Road frontage which enhances the pedestrian experience. Additionally, the applicant proposes to plant additional trees on site to provide shading over the surface parking lot and other recreational areas to be used by the tenants of the building, where there is currently no tree canopy provided. The project has been evaluated for consistency with the Zoning Code, and the project meets all applicable development standards. Middlefield Road does not have a coordinated area plan or specific design guidelines. Finding #2: The project has a unified and coherent design, that: a. creates an internal sense of order and desirable environment for occupants, visitors, and the general community, b. preserves, respects and integrates existing natural features that contribute positively to the site and the historic character including historic resources of the area when relevant, c. is consistent with the context-based design criteria of the applicable zone district, d. provides harmonious transitions in scale, mass and character to adjacent land uses and land use designations, e. enhances living conditions on the site (if it includes residential uses) and in adjacent Item 3 ATTACHMENT D - ARB- Variance Findings & Comp Plan Policies     Packet Pg. 46     2 3 3 6 residential areas. The project is consistent with Finding #2 because: The design creates an internal sense of order by providing a well-landscaped public realm along the California Avenue frontage with the introduction of pedestrian entry area to create an inviting pedestrian amenity. This integration provides a desirable environment for pedestrians that would be crossing the site, as well as building occupants and visitors. The proposed landscaping along East Meadow Drive and Middlefield Road serves as important elements that define the streetscape and draw attention to the popping corner of the building at the intersection. The scale, mass, and character of the building is appropriate for the residential neighborhood and commercial buildings surrounding the site through its angular architectural features and wood siding materials. Finding #2.c. is not applicable to the site, as the Municipal Code does not provide context-based design criteria for the Public Facilities (PF) zoning district. Finding #3: The design is of high aesthetic quality, using high quality, integrated materials and appropriate construction techniques, and incorporating textures, colors, and other details that are compatible with and enhance the surrounding area. The project is consistent with Finding #3 because: The contemporary design of the building utilizes a variety of complimentary building materials, textures and colors that are appropriate to the setting and context of the nearby residential and commercial buildings. The use of wood-looking materials contrasted with the stucco tower element highlights the building entrances and façade. This also introduces a sense of depth that enhances the appearance of the building. These entrance features also provide a fitting contrast in appearance with the glass façade at the emergency vehicle bays. Overall, the selection and use of materials yields a building of high aesthetic quality, which would be further enhanced through the proposed landscaping. In addition to introducing a high-quality structure, the project would enhance the appearance of the surrounding area by maintain all parking at the rear of the site and increasing the landscape buffer along Middlefield Road from the City’s electric substation. Finding #4: The design is functional, allowing for ease and safety of pedestrian and bicycle traffic and providing for elements that support the building’s necessary operations (e.g. convenient vehicle access to property and utilities, appropriate arrangement and amount of open space and integrated signage, if applicable, etc.). The project is consistent with Finding #4 because: The design is appropriate to the function of the project in that the placement of the vehicle bays is done in a way that allows easy emergency vehicle access and exiting. Circulation from the street to the site would be improved by widening existing driveways along East Meadow Drive and Middlefield Road. Pedestrian access to the building entrances is significantly Item 3 ATTACHMENT D - ARB- Variance Findings & Comp Plan Policies     Packet Pg. 47     2 3 3 6 enhanced by the sidewalk improvements that are included with the project. Bicycle parking is convenient and located near building entrances. Adequate vehicle and accessible parking is located conveniently along East Meadow Drive for visitors and staff parking will be located at the rear of the site and screened from view. The amount and arrangement of open space is appropriate to the design and the function of the structures as it creates a significant landscape buffer along East Meadow Drive and Middlefield Road from the adjacent single-family properties. Finding #5: The landscape design complements and enhances the building design and its surroundings, is appropriate to the site’s functions, and utilizes to the extent practical, regional indigenous drought resistant plant material capable of providing desirable habitat that can be appropriately maintained. The project is consistent with Finding #5 because: The plant material is suitable and adaptable to the site, capable of being properly maintained, and is of a variety that would tend to be drought-resistant and reduce consumption of water in its installation and maintenance. The landscape plan increases the number of trees along the Middlefield Road street frontage. The landscaping plan supplements the tree canopy with additional plantings, providing a majority of species as native and drought tolerant. The site is located within a developed area within the City of Palo Alto and is not considered prime habitat. Finding #6: The project incorporates design principles that achieve sustainability in areas related to energy efficiency, water conservation, building materials, landscaping, and site planning. The project is consistent with Finding #6 because: The project has been designed to achieve a LEED Silver rating which requires the building to incorporate many aspects of sustainability in the design. The Porcelanosa tile siding is a durable material that is resistant to rot and fading and serves a functional purpose as a rainscreen system for moisture removal. It has high insulation value which helps to reduce energy consumption. The site planning relegates most vehicle parking to the rear of the site. This design element, in addition to the proposed parking lot tree shading, reduces the “heat island effect” associated with surface parking. New groundcover plantings would consist of a variety of low water use and drought tolerant species. Item 3 ATTACHMENT D - ARB- Variance Findings & Comp Plan Policies     Packet Pg. 48     2 3 3 6 In order for staff to make the findings for approval, the project must comply with the following Findings for Variance as required in Chapter 18.76.030 of the PAMC. Finding #1: Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including (but not limited to) size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, the strict application of the requirements and regulations prescribed in this title substantially deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and in the same zoning district as the subject property. Special circumstances that are expressly excluded from consideration are: A. The personal circumstances of the property owner, and B. Any changes in the size or shape of the subject property made by the property owner or his predecessors in interest while the property was subject to the same zoning designation. 3600 Middlefield Road is located adjacent to dissimilar land uses that do not perform similar functions. This facility is located adjacent to the Middlefield Ballpark, Mitchell Park, and the Covenant Presbyterian Church on one side while other surrounding properties are constituted of single-family homes. In this sense, the use of a property as a fire station and substation establishes a unique land use that is inherently different from its neighbors and is of more critical importance for the services it provides. Requiring the site to meet the 50% surface parking lot shading requirement would require addition tree planting in the loading near the workout room which would impact an emergency vehicle’s ability to access the loading bay. These special circumstances support reducing the parking lot shading requirements to ensure the operational capacity for the fire station. Finding #2: The granting of the application shall not affect substantial compliance with the regulations or constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and in the same zoning district as the subject property, and; As previously detailed, the site has multiple unique properties relative to its public facility use and location that do not resemble surrounding properties and zoning districts. In comparison, other properties do not provide vital resources like those performed by Fire Station #4 and the City’s Electric substation. The existing facility does not provide adequate capacity to properly respond to emergency situations which will be resolved by this new design. Allowing for reduced tree canopy coverage for the surface parking lot is necessary to maintain the critical functions associated with the Fire Station use, namely the necessary clearance and turning radius required for fire truck access. The project meets or exceeds all other requirements of the zoning ordinance. Therefore, granting of the application would not affect substantial compliance with the regulations or constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and in the same zoning district as the subject property. Finding #3: The granting of the application is consistent with the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of this title (Zoning), and; Item 3 ATTACHMENT D - ARB- Variance Findings & Comp Plan Policies     Packet Pg. 49     2 3 3 6 As noted above, the project is consistent with the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan and the Purposes outlined in PAMC 18.28.010(a). As previously detailed, the application will introduce tree canopy coverage over the parking lot, where there currently is none, to the extent that it will not impact the operational needs for vehicle movement on and off site for emergency vehicles. This helps to reduce the heat island effect for visitors and occupants to the site and helps to reduce the project’s carbon footprint over time. Moreover, the project replaces aging public infrastructure with a LEED certified building, improving the site’s long-term impacts on GHG. Finding #4: The granting of the application will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare, or convenience. The proposed fire station would not be detrimental or injurious to property or be negatively impactful to the public health, safety or general welfare of those in the nearby vicinity. All proposed construction would be located within the lot’s area and are consistent with the allowances identified in the municipal code while providing for an updated fire station design that can better respond to emergencies as needed. This will benefit public safety by providing a modern facility equipped with up to date equipment that will facilitate efficient fire personnel response from the facility. The project also improves the parking lot shading from tree canopy when compared to existing conditions.
