Page 1 of 7 Architectural Review Board Staff Report From: Planning and Development Services Director Lead Department: Planning and Development Services Meeting Date: March 20, 2025 Report #: 2502-4140 TITLE PUBLIC HEARING / QUASI-JUDICIAL. 180 El Camino Real [24PLN-00066]: Recommendation on Applicant’s Request for Architectural Review of Exterior Storefront Revisions and Improvements, Including a Redesigned Outdoor Dining Area, Façade Revisions, New Signage and Updated Lighting for an Existing Restaurant with a New Tenant, Delarosa (Space #136B, Building D), at the Stanford Shopping Center. CEQA Status: Exempt from CEQA per Section 15301 (Existing Facilities). Zoning District: CC (Community Commercial). RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Architectural Review Board (ARB) take the following action: 1. 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 proposed project is a request for approval of a Major Architectural Review application to allow exterior and interior modifications to an existing tenant space for, Delarosa, at the Stanford Shopping Center, which replaces an existing restaurant tenant. The project is subject to requirements outlined the Master Tenant Façade and Sign Program (MTFSP, 15PLN-00040). The MTFSP for the Stanford Shopping requires a Planning entitlement if any standalone building or tenant space that faces a public right-of-way proposes exterior changes. Board Level Architectural Review is required for tenant spaces with outward facing façades (i.e. facing public right of way) greater than 35 feet long. The proposed façade meets both of these thresholds and is therefore subject to Major Architectural Review.

The proposed tenant would replace an existing restaurant use, California Pizza Kitchen. The new storefront design features an orange perforated metal panel, orange canopy, painted white/off white stucco, painted grey trim, new grey hex wall tiles and base wall tiles, and new decorative wood doors. The project includes new orange planter boxes and removeable umbrellas, at the outdoor dining area near the front door. In addition, new wall sconces are proposed for lighting purposes as well as signage for the new tenant. Item 2 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 10     Item No. 2. Page 4 of 7 The project is located within an exterior facing tenant space within Building D of the Stanford Shopping Center. The proposed project involves a façade over 35 feet in length and faces Sand Hill Road, therefore, requiring ARB review of the project. Requested Entitlements, Findings and Purview The following discretionary application is being requested: Architectural Review – Major (AR): The process for evaluating this type of application is set forth in Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) 18.77.070. Major 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. ANALYSIS Staff has analyzed the proposed project for consistency with relevant plans, policies, and regulations as well as the Architectural Review findings for approval. Overall, staff finds the project to be consistent with all relevant plans, policies, regulations, and findings, as discussed herein, and recommends that the ARB recommend approval of the proposed project. Neighborhood Setting and Character The project is located within the Stanford Shopping Center on the western portion of the site off Sand Hill Road. The Shopping Center is defined within the PAMC as all properties zoned CC and bounded by El Camino Real, Sand Hill Road, Quarry Road, and Vineyard Lane. The site is surrounded by a hospital, retail, and multi-family uses. 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. Façade Changes The existing façade consists of yellow and tan colored stucco, black awnings, and signage from the previous tenant. The existing façade design extends the full height of the building, consistent with the MTFSP design standards. The new storefront design features an orange perforated metal panel, orange canopy, painted white/off white stucco, painted grey trim, new grey hex wall tiles and base wall tiles and new decorative wood doors. The project includes new orange planter boxes and removeable umbrellas, at the outdoor dining area near the front door. In addition, new wall sconces are proposed for lighting purposes as well as signage for the new tenant. The façade updates will maintain and update the outdoor dining spaces. Outdoor dining areas total 1,069 square feet (uncovered) and will have an open roof and combination of planter boxes (some on coasters for ease of moving) and rope guards on removable stanchion posts as Item 2 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 11     Item No. 2. Page 5 of 7 barriers used to frame the outdoor dining spaces. A 20-foot wide portion of the outdoor seating area, located along the northern façade and containing the planter boxes on coasters, will be cleared of all tables, chairs and any other physical obstructions on a daily basis in order to comply with the City’s Public Works – Utilities requirements due to a nearby gas meter. The project’s design and materials appear cohesive and consistent with those found within the Shopping Center, while updating a corner entry to the interior of the Shopping Center. Staff would appreciate the ARB’s comments on the façade revisions. Planter Boxes/Landscaping The project includes new planter boxes and planted pots on stone pedestals. The pots will contain drought tolerant plants and will be watered by a self-irrigating system. The new landscaping will primarily be placed along the façade of the tenant space that faces the existing parking field. Signage The proposed signage includes two new wall signs and two new blade signs. The wall and blade signs will read “Delarosa.” Wall signs will consist of aluminum metallic silver lettering with white LED illumination set against orange perforated aluminum panels. The blade signs will read “Delarosa” and consist of aluminum lettering set against an orange satin backing with metallic silver aluminum brackets. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, Area Plans, and Guidelines: The 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. Further, ARB Finding #1 requires that the design be consistent and compatible with applicable elements of the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the Stanford Shopping Center as a regional center with a land use designation of Community Commercial. The proposed eating and drinking use is consistent with this land use designation. On balance, the project is consistent with the policies in the Comprehensive Plan and therefore fulfills the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Attachment B provides a detailed review of the project’s consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning Compliance PAMC 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 include any new floor area. A spreadsheet of all Shopping Center building areas has been provided on Sheet A0.5 as shown in Attachment E. No site plan changes will occur for the Shopping Center. Attachment D provides a summary of the project’s consistency with the zoning ordinance. Master Tenant Façade and Sign Program Item 2 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 12     Item No. 2. Page 6 of 7 The Master Tenant Façade and Sign Program (MTFSP 15PLN-00040) provides a master plan for all facades and signage at the Stanford Shopping Center. Projects that are consistent with the Master Sign Program are seen as consistent with other relevant guidelines, including the El Camino Real Design Guidelines and the Context-Based Design Criteria. Façade Changes The façade updates will maintain and update the existing façade of the subject tenant space and the outdoor dining area, utilizing a sophisticated color palette that enhances the existing façade and outdoor seating area. The proposed façade design will extend the full height of the building, maintaining consistency with the MTFSP design standards. Updates to the façade includes painting of existing stucco, new perforated metal panel, new door, new hex tile, new planters, new umbrellas, new vertical slat pergola, and new lighting. The outdoor dining areas will be revised for a total of 853 square feet (186 square feet uncovered) and will offer a variety of different seating options to provide maximum exclusivity. Additionally, multiple three-dimensional elements have been added to the patio, including a wood pergola, white umbrellas, and orange planters. These improvements are meant to increase the quality of the exterior dining experience to align with other nearby tenants. The project’s design and materials appear cohesive and consistent with those found within the Shopping Center. Staff would appreciate the ARB’s comments on the façade revisions. Signage The MTFSP also details the sign limitations for the Shopping Center. As shown in Attachment E, the primary and secondary wall signs are consistent with the maximum heights of 24-inch and 18-inch, respectively. The proposed blade sign is consistent with the MTFSP’s requirements at one foot 10 inches by one foot three inches, with the required nine-foot clearance from the bottom of the blade to the sidewalk has been provided. Multi-Modal Access & Parking The center currently has 64 excess vehicle parking spaces and has satisfied its requirement for short-term bike parking spaces. The landlord for the Stanford Shopping Center is working with the City’s Planning and Transportation teams to address long-term bike parking for the center. As a result of this ongoing effort, the mall’s Landlord team was able to secure a Bronze level status as a Bike Friendly Business for 2024-2028 from The League of American Bicyclists. Throughout the site there are additional pedestrian amenities such as outdoor seating areas, planters, fountains, interactive maps, pedestrian level lighting, and public art. Consistency with Application Findings The project is consistent with the required findings for Architectural Review 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. Item 2 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 13     Item No. 2. Page 7 of 7 STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT The PAMC 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 least ten days in advance. Notice of a public hearing for this project was published in the Daily Post on March 7, 2025, which is 12 days in advance of the meeting. Postcard mailing occurred on March 5, 2025, which is 14 days in advance of the meeting. Public Comments As of the writing of this report, no project-related, public comments were received. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The subject project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Specifically, the City, acting as the lead agency, determined that the project is categorically exempt from the provision of CEQA in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (existing facilities) because the scope of work is limited to exterior alterations to the façade of an existing building. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS In addition to the recommended action, the Architectural Review Board may: 1. Recommend approval of the project with modified findings or conditions; 2. Continue the project to a date (un)certain with specific direction; or 3. Recommend project denial based on revised findings.

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 proposed project includes an eating and drinking use, which is a permitted use within regional commercial land use designation and is a permitted use within the community commercial (CC) zone district. There are no coordinated area plans that apply to the property and the proposed façade improvements are consistent with the Master Façade and Sign Program for the shopping center as well as the El Camino Real Design Guidelines. As detailed in the table below, the project is consistent with relevant goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. . 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 restaurant tenant space and replace it with a new restaurant tenant. The proposed modifications to the exterior of the storefront are cohesive and consistent with designs found throughout the center and would further enhance a 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 The proposal has been reviewed against the Palo Alto General Plan, the PAMC, the Stanford Shopping Center Master Tenant Façade and Sign Program as well as Item 2 Attachment F Draft Findings for Approval     Packet Pg. 34     7 2 1 6 impacts.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. 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 restaurant tenant with another restaurant tenant proposing 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 facades and outdoor patio area of an existing restaurant tenant space and replace it with a new restaurant 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 does not include any natural features such as green rooftops, pocket parks, plazas, or rain gardens. However, landscape planter boxes will be located on the exterior of the tenant space at the outdoor dining area and will include drought tolerant plants. The planters will be self- irrigating. In addition, the Stanford Shopping Center includes multiple landscaped areas throughout the site, including an existing large planter with seating opportunities located along the Azmoor Place pedestrian paseo adjacent to the subject tenant space. Item 2 Attachment F Draft Findings for Approval     Packet Pg. 35     7 2 1 6 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 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 restaurant tenant and will remain a restaurant tenant; therefore, no loss of retail would occur. Policy L-4.4: Ensure all Regional Centers and 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. The project itself does not propose any gathering spaces nor public amenities such as benches, street trees, kiosks, or public art; however, the modified outdoor patio space creates gathering spaces where customers can also access outdoor dining, as desired. In addition, the Stanford Shopping Center provides multiple gathering spaces and public amenities located throughout the center that are available for use. Program L-4.2.3: Explore and potentially support new, creative and innovative retail in Palo Alto. The proposed project would replace an existing restaurant tenant by adding a new restaurant to the Stanford Shopping Center and will provide additional variety to patrons of the center. Item 2 Attachment F Draft Findings for Approval     Packet Pg. 36     7 2 1 6 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 via London Plane Way 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 the City. The proposed use is a restaurant tenant that will replace an existing restaurant tenant; therefore, the proposed land use will not be overwhelming and unacceptable due to the size and scale of the operation. 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 2 Attachment F Draft Findings for Approval     Packet Pg. 37     7 2 1 6 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 The project includes only exterior façade and patio improvements. The existing tenant space includes access to pedestrian paseos and walkways surrounding the tenant space including Azmoor Place and along the primary façade of the building. The project has been reviewed for adequate walkway widths and conforms to Palo Alto and Stanford Shopping Center requirements; thereby, maintaining connectivity throughout the area of the tenant space and the center overall. Existing bike racks provided by the landlord for the shopping center are provided to the northwest of the tenant space, not too far from the entry into the space. Additionally, the center provides a number of seating opportunities including seating at large planter boxes. There is an existing large planter with seating opportunities located along the Azmoor Place pedestrian paseo adjacent to the subject 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 project proposes a new façade with a well designed mixture of colors and materials that would enliven the pedestrian entry for this portion of the Shopping Center. This project also includes doorways, windows and signage that are well designed and in scale with the pedestrian environment of the Shopping Center and would help encourage pedestrian activity at this location of the Stanford Shopping Center while supporting a connection between the tenant space boundaries with pedestrians and patrons on the outside throughout the use of the modified outdoor patio spaces. 3. Massing and Setbacks Buildings shall be designed to minimize massing and conform to proper setbacks The proposed project will not change the existing building setbacks or massing. 4. Low Density Residential Transitions Item 2 Attachment F Draft Findings for Approval     Packet Pg. 38     7 2 1 6 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 This finding does not apply. 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 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. 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 white/off white stucco, perforated metal panels, wall tiles, metal canopy, glass, orang planter boxes and decorative wood doors complement the existing adjacent tenant spaces in this area of the center. The color palette consists of white and various shades of grey with orange accents through the use of metal screens panels, metal canopy, planter boxes and light sconces. Wood finishes have also been introduced to the exterior façade through the use of wood doors at entries. Signage will include aluminum lettering painted silver that will be attached to an orange metal screen backer with white LED lighting, 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 or sidewalks; therefore, the existing circulation improvements will Item 2 Attachment F Draft Findings for Approval     Packet Pg. 39     7 2 1 6 remain in place. 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 silver, aluminum lettering with LED lighting located on the façades of the building provides excellent 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. The refreshed outdoor dining areas at the subject tenant space includes planter boxes with drought tolerant plantings. In addition, existing mall planters located along the adjacent parking fields and along Azmoor Place 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 metals, stucco, and clear glazing, many of which are readily recyclable. The project is also subject to the local energy and recycling codes. The proposed signs are illuminated and made of durable long-lasting materials and are subject to the green building energy regulations. Furthermore, updated landscaping complies with State and City of Palo Alto Landscape water efficiency requirements. Plants specified are rated as low to moderate water requirements and a fully automatic water efficient drip irrigation system will be installed.

Page 1 of 8 Architectural Review Board Staff Report From: Planning and Development Services Director Lead Department: Planning and Development Services Meeting Date: March 20, 2025 Report #: 2502-4223 TITLE Review and Provide Feedback on the Proposed California Avenue Signage Program and Outdoor Activation Approach for the Car-Free Portion of California Avenue. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Architectural Review Board (ARB): 1. Provide Feedback on the ‘Place Identity’ Elements of the Proposed Signage Program; 2. Review and Comment on the Wayfinding System, Including Sign Types, Locations, and Concepts for a California Avenue Gateway Sign at El Camino Real; and 3. Review and Comment on the Outdoor Activation Zones, Setbacks and Street Space Allocation Map. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This item provides an update on work to enhance California Avenue as a car-free street, and an opportunity for input on signage design. This effort furthers the first guiding principle of the Palo Alto Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy1 to “Reinforce each districts’ distinct scale and offerings by…embracing California Avenue as a community and neighborhood serving place.” In alignment with the Council direction to make the car-free portion of California Avenue permanent, this report presents updates on signage and wayfinding, and preliminary outdoor activation guidelines for feedback and discussion from the ARB. Stakeholder engagement is necessary to finalize and implement elements such as signage and wayfinding and outdoor activation guidelines. 1 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy available online: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/Business/Comprehensive-Economic-Development-Strategy Item 3 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 41     Item No. 3. Page 2 of 8 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the City Council has repeatedly affirmed their desire to have portions of California Avenue remain a car-free street. The full chronology can be found on the Car-Free Streets webpage.2 This action was continued through interim ordinances, and Council took final action to amend the Comprehensive Plan and permanently designate California Avenue between Birch and El Camino Real as a community street on March 10, 2025. As part of efforts to enhance the aesthetics of the car-free street, staff presented preliminary information on place identity, signage, and wayfinding, as well as outdoor activation guidelines to the City Council on Monday, February 3, 2025. BACKGROUND City staff is developing a signage program to enhance wayfinding and affirm California Avenue’s unique place identity. This initiative aims to create place identity and signage system that is functional, accessible, and reflective of the unique character and attractions of California Avenue. Staff is also developing outdoor activation guidelines to take advantage of the unique opportunities presented by California Avenue’s status as a community street. Staff has done extensive stakeholder engagement, involving merchants, community members, and other stakeholders. The full chronology was included as part of the staff report for the February 3, 2025, City Council study session.3 Staff will continue engaging California Avenue community stakeholders on this important topic. DISCUSSION Place Identity, Signage, and Wayfinding Staff and Urban Field Studios (UFS) have developed a preliminary California Avenue Signage Program included as Attachment A to this report. The program directly addresses merchant and community priorities to improve wayfinding to California Avenue businesses and to affirm California Avenue’s unique place identity. The preliminary program is intended to express an accessible, welcoming, and attractive identity supportive of local businesses and community life. A.Alternatives Merchant and community feedback on the three design theme alternatives for signage are summarized in Table 1 below. 2 Car-Free Streets: Cal Ave. & Ramona Street Webpage: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/Departments/Transportation/Transportation-Projects/Car-Free-Streets-Cal-Ave.- Ramona-Street 3 February 3, 2025, City Council Agenda Item 7, California Avenue Study Session Report: https://cityofpaloalto.primegov.com/Portal/viewer?id=0&type=7&uid=ea05cf69-abb5-47f4-80f1-973371604f2f Item 3 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 42     Item No. 3. Page 3 of 8 Table 1. Key Features of Design Alternatives and Feedback Design Theme Key Features Merchant Feedback Community Feedback Upscale Contemporary - Clean, vibrant, minimal design to modernize and upscale; poppy motifs; dark, sophisticated color palette. - Praised for simplicity; criticized as too austere, dark, and lacking warmth. - Mixed opinions, appreciate elegance and readability, but cold, austere, “Halloween-like”; minimalism can have longevity. Artsy Saloon - Draws upon Mayfield past, artsy, nightlife destination, southwest color palette. - Instagram-friendly; appeal to younger demographics; leans too much into nightlife; Wild West dated; red too Stanford. - Divided, some like bold, playfulness and historic connection; others overly western theme, kitschy and dated. Modern Optimism (Community Survey Preference) - Midcentury-inspired design; cheerful colors; fun, pleasant appeal people all ages. - Supported for aligning with Cal Ave’s vibe; like design; minor critiques of tagline grammar, 50’s vs 21st C. modernity. - Favored for its vibrancy, warmth, flexibility and community- focused vibe; best aligned with future aspirations. Results from the community survey show a preference for Modern Optimism, valuing its vibrancy, warmth, and alignment with California Avenue's unique identity. While the survey results show Optimistic Modernism as the most numerically popular choice, by a somewhat narrow margin, the nature of community and merchant support make it a clearly preferred choice. There is much greater enthusiasm and a stronger intensity of support for Optimistic Modernism than the other options. There were too many reservations on Upscale Contemporary as it felt too sterile, or Halloween like, and Artsy Saloon had very polarized reactions, either loving historic ties or finding it too kitschy and dated. Issues with Optimistic Modernism were about details like words in tag line, rather than the concept as a whole. Feedback about the tag line and details were incorporated Merchants favored Modern Optimism for its balance of aesthetics and functionality, emphasizing safety, flexibility, and its appeal to diverse audiences. Upscale Contemporary was also valued by merchants for its simplicity, but they felt it was less aligned with California Avenue's local and community- centered ethos. Staff analysis also concluded that Modern Optimism is a good choice, since it: •Represents California Avenue’s unique identity as a local, historic, and community- centric street reflecting feedback that, "We want something that feels unique to Cal Ave, not generic." •Can adapt to future changes in the area reflecting feedback that, "The design should be flexible enough to evolve with the area." Item 3 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 43     Item No. 3. Page 4 of 8 •Address accessibility concerns with practicality ensuring readability, visibility, and durability, reflecting feedback that, "Readability is key—it needs to be easy to see and understand." •Embodies an ‘unpretentious, and vibrant’ ethos of the independent local businesses. •Is artistic, yet functional, and celebrates California Avenue’s abundant public art. •Is broadly appealing to stakeholders and will be attractive to the range of people who visit seeking shopping, dining, art, entertainment, and community. B. Signage Program The signage program is comprised of “brand assets” - a logo with variants, tag line, shape motifs, typography, graphic patterns and color pallet, and a signage program - a system of modular sign templates, with flexibility to accommodate differing viewing distances and contexts, with guidance for signage locations. The brand assets are applied to five sign templates: •District blade sign (at El Camino Real); •Pedestrian directional signs; •Informational (Directory) sign; •Place identity markers (e.g., a banner with expression of place identity); and •Gateway sign concepts at the intersection of El Camino Real and California Avenue to create an identifiable district visible to vehicle traffic. Guidelines for sign type and placement are to assist pedestrians to navigate to/from side streets and parking and access businesses and activities on the street. Sign types are designed at different sizes and heights depending on the location, visibility, and wayfinding need. The sign types and placement will address key merchant priorities to: •Help drivers find parking. •Excite visitors to explore the area. •Enforce street rules. •Help events run more smoothly. •Help pedestrians navigate from parking & transit to local businesses. •Restrict vehicle access, while welcoming bikes and pedestrians. This modular system and placement guidelines benefit local businesses in several ways. It ensures flexibility to adapt to various user needs, such as a pedestrian walking versus a vehicle driver viewing from a distance. Gateway signage will serve as a visual anchor, creating an entrance marker and promoting California Avenue’s identity to passing drivers. Informational signs, strategically placed at key entry points and intersections, will guide visitors seamlessly from parking areas or transit stops to their destinations, reducing confusion and enhancing the visitor experience. Item 3 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 44     Item No. 3. Page 5 of 8 The installation and operation of ‘directories’ for businesses along the street has been discussed – however this sign type requires collaboration, engagement, ongoing maintenance and updates such that a commitment by local merchants for financial and management oversight is required to ensure it can be implemented and maintained successfully. Staff does not recommend such signage as a City responsibility, as it would typically be handled by a business association or other business collective. Outdoor Activation Guidelines City Staff and UFS have made significant progress preparing preliminary Outdoor Activation Guidelines to take advantage of the car-free environment of California Avenue. The California Avenue Outdoor Activation Program will enhance the commercial vibrancy of California Avenue, creating opportunities for businesses to use public sidewalks and roadway spaces for outdoor dining, retail, entertainment, and other business operations. This program will ensure these spaces are safe, equitable, and well-designed for uses including dining, retail, and live entertainment. Commercial use of outdoor space supports local businesses, enhances customer experience, and directly contributes to a thriving community destination. The term “activation” is proposed to define the set of potential uses of the public right of way including dining, retail, seating, recreation, and potentially other privately maintained activities. A.Vision for Car-Free Outdoor Activation Areas The vision for car-free outdoor activation areas is to prioritize customer experience and invite spontaneous and meaningful social interaction. By carefully curating these spaces, the street can become a vibrant and engaging atmosphere. Guiding principles are: •Embrace the Car-Free Experience: Removing vehicle traffic dramatically changes the experience of the street, acoustically, visually, tactilely, and psychologically. Air quality and safety improve. The clutter of cars is removed. Vigilance against danger is reduced, significantly reducing stress and the anxiety of traffic. The street is now car-free. •Design without the Constraint of Parking: Unlike parklets, where the size and shape of an outdoor dining area is defined by a parking space, in a car-free environment outdoor activation space is free to be configured by building, emergency egress, and use of the street, rather than by parking dimensions. Protective barriers from cars are not needed. •Create Opportunities for Social Interaction: Outdoor activation plays a pivotal role in satisfying people’s innate need for spaces for casual and serendipitous social connection. Inviting outdoor spaces, where residents and visitors can see each other and connect, can transform the street into a social gathering place. This can encourage walk-in and spontaneous dining, as outdoor spaces need to visually and auditorily add life, so the street feels lively and inclusive. •Envision an Open Environment: A car-free environment is an opportunity to transform the street into an open, accessible, and experiential marketplace of possible interactions, commercial, community and civic throughout the day and week. Outdoor dining enclosures will significantly shape the experience of the street. A key design Item 3 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 45     Item No. 3. Page 6 of 8 feature will be the enclosure of dining areas, especially regarding alcohol use, where the railings, planters, stanchions, or screens can provide a separation between public space and commercial use. These boundaries need to be carefully designed to remain low and transparent, enhancing visibility to and from the street. •Use Flexible, Adaptable Shelter Solutions that Adjust to the Weather: Rather than build permanent structures with roofs and enclosures for permanent outdoor dining, use umbrellas and awnings that can change configuration and adapt to weather conditions. This is a more flexible and visually appealing solution for sun and weather protection. There are new fabricators and suppliers of overhead large format umbrellas and awnings that can provide shade, rain cover, and UV shielding, and space for electric heaters and lighting. This improves comfort for patrons while maintaining the openness of the street. Umbrellas and awnings are designed to align with the business aesthetic. Collectively, umbrellas and awnings can contribute to a more cohesive and colorful streetscape, rather than individual designed structures that visually obstruct views to adjacent storefronts or can be an obstacle to emergency access. Sidewalls or screens can be raised or lowered to confer weather protection while minimally detracting from the openness of the street. Umbrellas and awnings, combined with adjustable height sidewalls, enable businesses to maintain customer comfort year-round, and keep the experience of the street open. A car-free street is a unique opportunity to shape public outdoor space by prioritizing pedestrians, cyclists, customers, and diners to create a safe and accessible environment that promotes business success and community connection. The absence of vehicles allows the district to reimagine its public space as a living, walkable community space. If people feel a sense of membership by seeing, meeting, and spending time with friends and colleagues on the street, they are more likely to be frequent patrons. Outdoor dining spaces are functional extensions of businesses and pivotal contributors to a welcoming and vibrant destination. The goal of developing guidelines is to provide a broad framework for businesses to work within. The actual curation and activation of many of the spaces will require investment from the business community to enliven the street. B.Street Zones, Patio Locations, and Setbacks Staff and UFS recommend dividing the car-free portion of the California Avenue right-of- way into five zones, as seen in Attachment B. To ensure access to sufficient space by other uses, such as the farmers’ market, the preliminary allocations limit outdoor dining areas to directly in front of the operator’s storefront. Outdoor dining areas are permitted in three zones as shown in Attachment B. •Frontage Zone •Curbside/Street Furniture Zone •Activity Zone Item 3 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 46     Item No. 3. Page 7 of 8 Attachment B also includes two areas that span between El Camino Real and Mimosa Lane, and from Mimosa Lane to Birch Street. These maps indicate the zones for the respective segments of California Avenue. The preliminary guidance includes restrictions for a required eight-foot pedestrian path of travel on sidewalks, emergency vehicle access, designated pedestrian paths of travel, emergency accessways, and designated bike lanes or bike racks. NEXT STEPS Next Steps for California Avenue Signage Staff anticipates the following next steps to prepare a California Avenue signage program after integrating ARB feedback: 1. Formulate Program Proposal: •Define project scope, objectives, estimated costs, potential funding sources, benefits, priorities, and feasibility. •Establish an implementation timeline. 2. Internal Departmental Review: •Coordination with relevant City departments to refine the program. 3. Integration into City CIP and Budgeting Processes: •Incorporate the signage program into the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), budgeting process, and City Council review for adoption. 4. Initiate Implementation: •Initiate the signage program once funding is secured. 5. Initial Replacement of Signs: •Replace signs at El Camino Real and Oregon Expressway as part of the already funded 2024-25 CIP. Next Steps for Outdoor Activation Guidelines Staff is working to sequence the discussion of outdoor activation guidelines with City Council now that City Council has permanently closed the street. While some businesses have expressed eagerness to invest in outdoor spaces, the certainty of the street closure creates a more stable environment and reduces the likelihood of further changes. Next steps include additional stakeholder engagement, leading to presentation of the outdoor activation guidelines for Council approval. Staff will continue to: •Establish clear guidelines for space layouts, enclosures, and shelter elements to ensure outdoor spaces are functional, visually appealing, and cohesive with the district's character. •Allocate public space to businesses, in a way that balances outdoor dining, retail visibility, and other community uses such as farmers markets and pedestrian zones. Item 3 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 47     Item No. 3. Page 8 of 8 •Enable flexibility to enable multiple uses throughout the week, such as informal dining or community gathering spaces during non-peak times and the Farmers’ Market on Sundays—to maximize the use and value of the public spaces. •Define requirements for design elements such as low and transparent enclosures, umbrellas, and awnings to address comfort and visual vibrancy of the street. Staff anticipates incorporating feedback from stakeholder engagement then bringing the guidelines before City Council to formally adopt them.

The clerk called roll and declared there was a quorum. Oral Communications None. Agenda Changes, Additions and Deletions None. City Official Reports 1. Director’s Report, Meeting Schedule, and Upcoming Agenda Items Historic Preservation Planner/ARB Laison Steven Switzer announced that the March 6 meeting would address 180 El Camino Delarosa exterior upgrades and there would be a report out from the ad hoc for the objective standards on townhomes. There would be a little information on the townhomes item today. There had been no recently submitted items since the last hearing, and staff did not have any items of note for the Board. Chair Rosenberg asked if there had been any recently submitted items at the last meeting. Planner/Laison Switzer answered that there had been no recently submitted items at the last hearing. Interim Manager of Current Planning Claire Raybould added there being no recently submitted items was a natural ebb and flow. Chair Rosenberg asked if any Board members had questions about upcoming projects. Item 4 Attachment A Minutes of February 20, 2025     Packet Pg. 122     Page 2 of 11 Architectural Review Board Meeting Draft Summary Minutes: 2/20/25 Planner/Laison Switzer voiced that there was a scheduled, planned absence for June 19. He requested that Board members direct to his or Administrative Associate Veronica Dao’s attention any planned absences. Board Member Hirsch stated he may be in New York in April and he would let staff know. Vice Chair Chen mentioned that she had travel plans during the summer, which she would relay to staff. Action Item 2. Ad Hoc Committee Report: Review Ad Hoc committee Report on Objective Standards for Townhomes and Provide Direction to Staff Chair Rosenberg stated that staff recommended continuing the Ad Hoc Committee Report on objective standards to March 6, 2025. Historic Preservation Planner/ARB Laison Steven Switzer provided a background of the objective design standards adopted in 2022. He stated that additional time was needed to wrap up to fully present it back to the Board. Board Member Hirsch explained why he had requested the item be deferred. PUBLIC COMMENT There were no public comments. MOTION: Chair Rosenberg, seconded by Vice Chair Chen, moved to continue the item to March 6, 2025. VOTE: Motion carried 4-0-1 (Adcock absent) 3. Discussion on Criteria for Architectural Review Board Design Awards: Recognizing Built Projects (2020-2024) Chair Rosenberg commented that staff recommended the ARB review the list of 28 projects reviewed by the ARB since 2020; discuss the ARB design awards, including evaluation criteria, time line, awards, and categories; and decide on award winners. Historic Preservation Planner/ARB Laison Steven Switzer hoped that some award-winning projects could be decided on at this meeting as well as further discussion at this hearing and offline for a time line, number of awards, the evaluation process, securing an event space, and the items that would follow. He furnished slides and outlined what had occurred at the December 19, 2024 and January 16, 2025 meetings. Since the last meeting, each Board member had sent in photos of their short-listed projects, which he displayed on a slide. The next steps included narrowing down the project list. The intent was to select five, although there could be honorable mentions, etc. Chair Rosenberg remarked that she had sent in projects that had not been started, and she requested that staff comment on how such projects would be handled. Planner/Laison Switzer explained that there was an award cycle every five years and any projects not completed or under construction would be rolled over to the next eligible list. Item 4 Attachment A Minutes of February 20, 2025     Packet Pg. 123     Page 3 of 11 Architectural Review Board Meeting Draft Summary Minutes: 2/20/25 Chair Rosenberg requested that Board members note such projects on the list in the future. Planner/Laison Switzer shared slides with Board Member Baltay’s submitted projects at 555 Middlefield Road, 588 Webster Street, and 620 Emerson Street; Vice Chair Chen’s project at 3215 Porter Drive; Board Member Hirsch’s projects at 1700 Embarcadero Road and the pedestrian and bicycle overpass at Highway 101; and Board Member Hirsch’s projects, which included Arhaus and Brilliant Earth. Chair Rosenberg noted that the addresses for Arhaus and Brilliant Earth were 180 El Camino, and she remarked that, in the future, it would be helpful to note the tenant. Planner/Laison Switzer continued with Board Member Hirsch’s projects, which included Restoration Hardware, Alo Yoga Store, Sushi Roku, Wilkes Bashford, and Peloton. Chair Rosenberg had submitted projects, including 4115 El Camino. Chair Rosenberg asked Board members if the 4115 El Camino would qualify as substantial completion. She felt the project should be rolled to next time. Board Member Baltay asked if the hardscape was complete and if the building had been finaled. Chair Rosenberg replied that the hardscape was not complete. Planner/Laison Switzer responded that the building had not been finaled. The Board did not consider it complete. Chair Rosenberg requested that it be added to the rolled list for next time. Planner/Laison Switzer proceeded to list Chair Rosenberg’s projects, which included 3877 El Camino and 695 Arastradero Road. Chair Rosenberg asked if the images for 3705, the 59 affordable units, were received. She stated that it was an interesting project but not her favorite architectural building. Planner/Laison Switzer stated that the 59 affordable units may have slipped the slide deck, which he apologized for. Chair Rosenberg suggested the list be shortened by having Board members indicate whether a particular project should be or not be on the list. Board Member Baltay wanted to keep 555 Middlefield on the list for now for the elegance of doing so little with the building but yet making it much better. Board Member Hirsch thought, in terms of residential projects, 588 Webster Street was a possible candidate to remain on the list. He felt there should be additional photos to show other angles. He believed Wilton Court should be on the list. Board Member Baltay agreed that 588 Webster Street and Wilton Court should be on the short list. He was partial to 620 Emerson Street. Board Member Hirsch agreed that 620 Emerson Street should be on the list. He suggested that there be more than one picture. Item 4 Attachment A Minutes of February 20, 2025     Packet Pg. 124     Page 4 of 11 Architectural Review Board Meeting Draft Summary Minutes: 2/20/25 Chair Rosenberg agreed that 620 Emerson Street should be on the list. Vice Chair Chen stated considered 3215 Porter Drive to be a very thoughtfully planned project. She expressed that it had potential for the award this year. Board Member Hirsch agreed that it had excellent potential for the award. Council Member Baltay added that there had been a lot of review and that it was a good building. Chair Rosenberg expressed why she was partial to 1700 Embarcadero Road. She thought the project was stunning. Board Member Hirsch agreed with Chair Rosenberg’s comments. Vice Chair Chen also agreed. Board Member Baltay asked if they could receive a perseverance award. Board Member Hirsch commented, regarding the Highway 101 pedestrian/bicycle overpass, that there was a bridge competition, although it was not one of the beautiful bridges. If an alternative could be considered, the art piece might be the alternative. Board Member Baltay commented that the overpass was a good example of where the City dropped the ball. Chair Rosenberg stated that the moment was special but not the architecture. She added that the Art Committee should keep an eye on this one as it was beautiful public art. Planner/Laison Switzer noted for the record that that portion was public art. Board Member Baltay was not keen on it as public art either. Chair Rosenberg and Vice Chair Chen agreed with Board Member Baltay. Chair Rosenberg liked the Arhaus project, but she did not support it receiving an award because she considered others to be better. Board Member Hirsch favored Arhaus and strongly voted for it. Board Member Baltay did not support Arhaus receiving an award. Board Member Hirsch voiced that Brilliant Earth was elegantly simple. Chair Rosenberg was very fond of the building, but she did not support it being on the list. She wanted the designers to know that she loved the façade of the building. Board Member Baltay considered the architecture of Brilliant Earth to be head and shoulders better than Arhaus, but he would not put it on the short list. Vice Chair Chen felt Brilliant Earth was nice, but she stated that there were better choices. Board Member Hirsch mentioned that there were more significant buildings. Chair Rosenberg declared that Brilliant Earth would be removed from the list. Item 4 Attachment A Minutes of February 20, 2025     Packet Pg. 125     Page 5 of 11 Architectural Review Board Meeting Draft Summary Minutes: 2/20/25 Board Member Baltay expressed that Restoration Hardware did not come out as well as he had hoped. Board Member Hirsch felt the same as Board Member Baltay. Chair Rosenberg thought the public favored the building, but she would not fight to put it on the list. Vice Chair Chen did not support it being on the short list. The Board spoke of the good experience of the building. Board Member Baltay suggested leaving it on the list for now. Chair Rosenberg did not support the Alo Yoga Store being on the list, although it was beautiful architecture. Board Member Hirsch did not support it being on the list. Vice Chair Chen wanted to keep it on the list. Board Member Baltay did not support giving it an award, but he suggested it remain on the list to compete with Arhaus. The Board unanimously decided to keep the Sushi Roku building on the list. The Board decided to remove Wilkes Bashford from the list. Board Member Hirsch did not find the Peloton building to be interesting. He suggested that Planner/Laison Switzer look into the signage on the building. He stated that the Board had been strong about the idea that something done for a doorway or a rounded doorway ought not count as part of a sign. Chair Rosenberg supported removing it from the list. Interim Manager of Current Planning Claire Raybould agreed that something done for a doorway or a rounded doorway ought not count as part of a sign. She was not sure what aspect of it would have been counted as a sign. Chair Rosenberg was fond of 3877 El Camino. Board Member Hirsch expressed that the Porter building was head and shoulders above 3877 El Camino. Chair Rosenberg agreed. Vice Chair Chen asked what the building was used for. Interim Manager Raybould answered that it had various mixed use. She thought there was a small retail component and an office component with residential at the rear. Chair Rosenberg declared that it would not be included on the list. She noted that 695 Arastradero Road fell short. Board Member Hirsch did not support the building receiving an award. Chair Rosenberg declared that it would be removed from the list. Item 4 Attachment A Minutes of February 20, 2025     Packet Pg. 126     Page 6 of 11 Architectural Review Board Meeting Draft Summary Minutes: 2/20/25 Board Member Baltay supported Wilton Court remaining on the list. Board Member Hirsch thought the building was excellently designed. He noted that there was a relationship between this building and the housing building on Hamilton, and he stated that it would be hard to choose between the two. Vice Chair Chen wanted to keep it on the list. Chair Rosenberg deferred to Board members. She noted for the record that the proportion and the height of the building were spot on. She asked how to move forward in the decision-making and how Board Member Adcock’s opinion should be factored in. Planner/Laison Switzer voiced that, based on the discussion, 9 of the 28 projects were on the shorter list. The correspondence he received from Board Member Adcock expressed that, of the short list provided, the Mercedes-Benz project was her project of choice. Chair Rosenberg remarked that she had noted 10 on the list, not 9, which included 3705 El Camino, 3215 Porter, 620 Emerson, 555 Middlefield, 588 Webster, Restoration Hardware, Alo Yoga, Sushi Roku, Arhaus, and Mercedes-Benz. Planner/Laison Switzer declared for the record that there were 10 on the list. Vice Chair Chen suggested discussing the category. [The Board took a 15-minute break] Chair Rosenberg thanked all for their patience with the extended delay in addressing technical issues. Planner/Laison Switzer supplied slides grouping the buildings into like projects. The residential projects included 3705 El Camino Real and 588 Webster. Chair Rosenberg was fond of 588 Webster. 3705 El Camino Real was not her favorite. Board Member Hirsch wanted to pick two residential projects. He thought they would show each other off. Chair Rosenberg liked the sentiment that they made each other better. Board Member Baltay supported both projects winning awards. Vice Chair Chen found it hard to choose as both were really good. Planner/Laison Switzer advanced to the retail projects. Interim Manager Raybould noted that the retail projects included Alo Yoga, Sushi Roku, Restoration Hardware, Arhaus, and 620 Emerson. Board Member Hirsch did not believe they all belonged together even though they were called commercial in some way. Concerning the hotel, he noted that a lot of it was landscaping and the impact on the street, which he considered to be excellent and a winner. The Board agreed that of the five the Nubo and the Roku Sushi projects were the strongest candidates. Item 4 Attachment A Minutes of February 20, 2025     Packet Pg. 127     Page 7 of 11 Architectural Review Board Meeting Draft Summary Minutes: 2/20/25 Chair Rosenberg was fond of the Mercedes-Benz project and suggested it be put on the list. Board Member Hirsch agreed. Board Member Baltay thought 555 Middlefield could be removed from the list. Chair Rosenberg believed that its reuse as a façade was important, so she thought maybe it should be the honorable mention of the year because the intent behind it was very important. Board Member Baltay suggested leaving it on the list for now. Board Member Hirsch thought the artwork deserved an award. Vice Chair Chen did not agree with making a decision based on a very small portion if the ARB’s job was to review the entire bridge as the project. Chair Rosenberg agreed, and she suggested that the Art Commission consider it for an award. Interim Manager Raybould voiced that staff would bring it to the Art Commission’s attention. Board Member Hirsch considered 3215 Porter to be a winner. Chair Rosenberg agreed. Board Member Baltay questioned if it was a stronger work of architecture than the Mercedes dealership. Board Member Hirsch noted that it was a different kind of building. Chair Rosenberg questioned if it was better than some of the housing, commercial, or retail ones. She found the mixture of architecture to be fascinating and the use to be very striking. She added that the Mercedes-Benz dealership could be considered a retail project and, therefore, compared to Sushi Roku. Board Member Hirsch added that it lacked the coherence that the Mercedes dealership had. Vice Chair Chen added that she maybe should have taken more pictures. She discussed the experience of visiting the building in person. She wondered if Board members should visit the sites in person. Board Member Hirsch found that to be a good suggestion. He remarked that the details of the building were well done, although the shape of the building was somewhat commonplace. Chair Rosenberg noted that there seemed to be a trend in having pairs of projects for each category, which totaled six projects. Planner/Laison Switzer mentioned that there were two for the restaurants, Nobu and Sushi Roku; Mercedes-Benz and 3215 Porter; the two residential projects; and potentially the seventh honorable mention for 555 Middlefield Road. He noted that in 2022 for the 2020 awards 8 projects received awards of which 2 were honorable mentions. There had been 5 awards in 2015, 10 in 2010, and 5 in 1998. The Board decided to keep six projects on the list. Chair Rosenberg asked if there should be an honorable mention for 555 Middlefield Road. Item 4 Attachment A Minutes of February 20, 2025     Packet Pg. 128     Page 8 of 11 Architectural Review Board Meeting Draft Summary Minutes: 2/20/25 Board Member Baltay wanted it to receive an honorable mention. Board Member Hirsch did not think the justification for it receiving an honorable mention was strong enough. He did not find the building to be attractive. He added that there was zero landscaping as the building was surrounded by parking. Vice Chair Chen thought it might be helpful to provide before and after photos to show that doing something little could result in a big change. She thought it was important to note that an office building was being reused. Board Member Hirsch did not consider it worthy of an award. He felt it would diminish the expression of what the ARB stood for if it should be included. Board Member Baltay commented that Board Member Hirsch made good points. He questioned if purposeful, intelligent, efficient use was architectural excellence. Board Member Hirsch did not believe that was enough to be considered architectural excellence. Chair Rosenberg expressed that the process was noted and that the reuse was environmentally beneficial and efficient in many ways. She stated that the concept of taking something that may be a little worse for wear and turning it into something beautiful was worth noting and worth putting it out as a public statement to any potential architects or designers in the Palo Alto boundaries that it was appreciated. Board Member Baltay added that it was good design work and that things were done to make it much better. He did not feel strongly about it receiving an honorable mention. He thought it was an opportunity more than anything else. He added that he strongly supported the other six. Board Member Hirsch noted that the windows did not align properly and he questioned whether the canopies served a purpose. He agreed that it was an improvement to the building. Planner/Laison Switzer read the 2023 Comprehensive Plan Program Policy that established the award program, which was to promote awards, programs, and other forms of public recognition for projects of architectural merit that contributed positively to the community. Chair Rosenberg did not think an honorable mention was inappropriate in this case because it was well done for what it was. She wanted it to be recognized. Board Member Baltay questioned what the folks at Restoration Hardware might think about 555 Middlefield Road coming out on top. Chair Rosenberg withdrew her comments. The Board agreed to remove it from the list. Planner/Laison Switzer understood that the six projects would move forward. Chair Rosenberg declared that the six projects were the official 2020 to 2024 Palo Alto ARB winners. Item 4 Attachment A Minutes of February 20, 2025     Packet Pg. 129     Page 9 of 11 Architectural Review Board Meeting Draft Summary Minutes: 2/20/25 Planner/Laison Switzer noted that the award winners would be contacted and an event space would be secured. He remarked that 2020 awards held in 2022 were held at the City Hall lobby. He added that the large monitor in the City Hall lobby could be used. Board Member Hirsch asked how the monitor could be used. Planner/Laison Switzer responded that staff would investigate how the monitor could be used. Chair Rosenberg voiced that last time staff had coordinated with City Hall and they handled it. Board Member Hirsch supported doing that if the images could move across the screen. Planner/Laison Switzer was sure that most of the architects would like to prepare some materials. Chair Rosenberg added that last time there had been a 24x36 static board requirement. She still had some of the documentation and the actual award certificate templates from last time, which she could send to staff. She thought she had in Word .doc format what had been requested from the architects, which she would email to staff, which might be useful. Planner/Laison Switzer wanted to confirm that the categories would be residential, retail or restaurant, and commercial. Board Member Baltay recommended that there not be categories and that the works stand on their own. Board Member Hirsch agreed. Planner/Laison Switzer confirmed that there would be six awards. Board Member Hirsch felt it was important that different images of each one move across the monitor in City Hall. Last year he had moved all the boards around to the libraries, which he wanted done again this year. He wanted to ensure that all the graphics from the applicants would be included separately. Planner/Laison Switzer responded that staff would look into that. Chair Rosenberg voiced that Osma did an exceptional job coordinating the food last time, and she requested that she do it this year. MOTION: Chair Rosenberg, seconded by Vice Chair Chen, moved to approve the following six projects as the 2020 to 2024 Palo Alto ARB Award winners: The Mercedes-Benz dealership, 3215 Porter, 3705 El Camino, 588 Webster, the Nobu Restaurant, and Sushi Roku. VOTE: Motion carried 4-0-1 (Adcock absent) Vice Chair Chen asked if there would be another meeting or if a date for the ceremony could be set. Planner/Laison Switzer answered that in setting an awards ceremony date they could coordinate offline to secure a space and determine how to engage the monitors. Staff would follow up on what would be required. Board Member Hirsch commented that this was the prettiest pages he had ever seen in the packet, that the color choices were excellent. He wondered if the requirement to have floating elements over the Item 4 Attachment A Minutes of February 20, 2025     Packet Pg. 130     Page 10 of 11 Architectural Review Board Meeting Draft Summary Minutes: 2/20/25 text could be removed to allow all the text to be readable. He asked if everything could be moved inside the lines. Planner/Laison Switzer thought the page number on the packet was fixed. He could look into repositioning that on the page. Chair Rosenberg stated if the item needed to come back as a discussion maybe it could be tied into the announcements at the end of another meeting, although most of the discussion could be handled offline. Board Member Baltay did not consider it proper to bring administrative issues like that to the full Board in a public hearing. He felt the Chair, Vice Chair, and staff should do it. Chair Rosenberg agreed. Once a meeting date was set, it could be in an announcement at the end of an ARB meeting, so any updates would come in the form of announcements at the end of a meeting. Approval of Minutes 4. Draft Architectural Review Board Meeting Minutes for January 16, 2025 Board Member Hirsch commented that he was not the only one who had talked about the color of the material on the outside, that Vice Chair Chen brought it up, and he just agreed with her comment. Historic Preservation Planner/ARB Laison Steven Switzer would make a note of that. MOTION: Chair Rosenberg, seconded by Board Member Hirsch, moved to approve the minutes. VOTE: Motion carried 4-0-1 (Adcock absent) Board Member Questions, Comments, Announcements Or Future Meetings And Agendas Board Member Hirsch stated there was a big project approaching, an 11-acre site on Geng Road for townhomes. He noted that he and Vice Chair Chen had made comments in the past about the mixing of different prototypes for housing when above one acre, which he noted was not happening on the project. He asked if the comment could be inserted into the process. Interim Manager of Current Planning Claire Raybould did not want to discuss specific projects but the comment was noted. She added that the planner for that project was in the room. She voiced that it was a builder’s remedy application that did not necessarily propose to meet all the requirements of the code. The project would come before the Board as a site and design application. It would also come before the Planning Commission. Ultimately Council would make the decision on the project. Council had not yet been asked to weigh in on it as it would first come to the Planning Commission and the ARB for recommendations. Board Member Baltay noted that it was unfortunate that the discussion of townhomes had not been completed. Board Member Hirsch responded that it was coming together. Vice Chair Chen had worked on responding to the request for it to be submitted today, but he was doing a revision of it and there would be coordination to have it ready for the next meeting. Item 4 Attachment A Minutes of February 20, 2025     Packet Pg. 131     Page 11 of 11 Architectural Review Board Meeting Draft Summary Minutes: 2/20/25 Chair Rosenberg did not know how much the townhomes conversation would have over a builder’s remedy project. She noted that the project was not being discussed at this meeting. She stated that staff was aware of the concerns and that they would be addressed upon the project being presented to the ARB. Board Member Hirsch voiced that it was informative for the ARB to get a readout on projects early on in the way Interim Manager Raybould did it, and he thanked her. Historic Preservation Planner/ARB Laison Steven Switzer referenced the packet and noted that it was listed as a pending project in the Director’s Report. The address was 2100 through 2400 Geng Road. Vice Chair Chen asked if staff had an announcement on the senior housing along San Antonio Road. Planner/Laison Switzer responded that they did not have an announcement on the senior housing along San Antonio Road. He announced that there were three positions available on the ARB and applications to the Clerk’s office were due by February 26. Chair Rosenberg voiced that all members of the public who were applying should get their application in by February 26. Board Member Hirsch inquired when the Board would hear the applicants’ presentations. Planner/Laison Switzer believed the interviews would go before Council. He did not think the Clerk’s office had a date set. He thought the details would follow once all the submitted applications were reviewed. Once coming down the pike, he would at least notify Board Member Hirsch and Vice Chair Chen. Board Member Baltay remarked that the Geng Road project was in the flood plain and there had been many comments about building intensely in that area. He asked if there had been efforts by staff to investigate that. He wanted Council to be fully aware of what was about to happen there. Interim Manager Raybould replied that they could not get into the details of that specific project. Chair Rosenberg stated that the project would come to the ARB before going to Council, and upon the ARB’s review, any concerns could be presented to Council. If the designer, applicant, or architect decided to do something against the rules, they would run the risk of the project being rejected. She cautioned against speaking out of turn on the project. Until the project was presented, it could not be spoken to. She stated that Board Member Baltay’s point was noted, and she voiced that the ARB could address it upon presentation to the ARB. Until then, it was up to the applicant to do their due diligence and to put something responsible forward. Adjournment Chair Rosenberg adjourned the meeting at 10:43 a.m. Item 4 Attachment A Minutes of February 20, 2025     Packet Pg. 132     Item No. 5.

Each condition of approval is discussed below with the applicant’s response and staff’s analysis. The Ad Hoc Committee should provide direction to staff and the applicant if the submittal requires further refinement. 1 February 6, 2025, ARB Meeting Agenda Item 2: https://cityofpaloalto.primegov.com/Portal/Meeting?meetingTemplateId=15748 Item 5 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 133     Item No. 5. Page 2 of 4 Condition of Approval #4a Revise the second-floor plan mullion pattern modifications for greater consistency with the rest of the building. Applicant’s Response: The mullion pattern for the second and third-floor fenestration has been revised for improved consistency. Refer to Sheets A3.01, A3.02, A3.03, and A7.40 for clouded revisions. Staff Analysis: The mullion pattern has been revised per ARB’s recommendation with the addition of operable windows at the second and third floor levels. Proposed renderings, elevations, and window and door details seem to be consistent. Condition of Approval #4b Provide natural ventilation to the second and third floor. Applicant’s Response: Operable windows have been added to provide natural ventilation at the following locations: 1. Level 1: Rear Façade 2. Level 2: Front and Rear Façades 3. Level 3: Front, Rear and South Façades Refer to Sheets A0.00, A0.04, A0.10, A0.15, A3.02, A3.03, and A7.40 for clouded revisions. Staff Analysis: Operable windows have been added to all floor levels and align with the revised mullion patterns. Proposed renderings, elevations, and window and door details seem to be consistent. Condition of Approval #4c Clarify the control joints at the brick and stucco. Applicant’s Response: The design intent for the front façade is to minimize the number of visible control joints in the stucco. Updated three-dimensional renderings now reflect the intended joint layout. Expansion joints in the brick veneer façade will be minimal and positioned at the finished floor elevation. Refer to sheets A0.00, A0.04, A0.10, A0.15, A3.01, A3.02, A3.03, and A8.10 (detail 3/A8.10) for updates. Staff Analysis: The applicant has provided revised details for the stucco joints which meets the ARB Item 5 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 134     Item No. 5. Page 3 of 4 recommendation while adhering to the applicant’s design intent. Proposed renderings, elevations, and exterior details seem to be consistent. Condition of Approval #4d Consider adding planters to first floor and third floor and consider privacy issues with the street level fenestration. Applicant’s Response: Potted planters have been added to the third-floor balconies. Due to the narrow balcony depth, planters are limited to two corners, accommodating medium-sized pots (12 inches to 14 inches in diameter). At Level 1, the storefront recess measures 1 foot 2 inches which does not provide sufficient space for planters without potential drainage or water damage concerns to the existing building. Refer to sheet A2.20 for added dimensions and note #141, and related drawing revisions. See sheet A3.01 and sheet A3.02 for updated elevations. Staff Analysis: Two potted plants have been added to the third floor balcony. However, due to space constraints, no plants are proposed along the storefront on Level 1. Proposed renderings, elevations, and floor plans seem to be consistent. Condition of Approval #4e Reconsider treatment of the windows in the stairwell for a more three-dimensional expression (e.g., recessing the windows or adding fins). Applicant’s Response: The stair tower windows have been recessed further to enhance depth and dimension. Additionally, the aluminum paneling – consistent with the storefront area – has been introduced between the stair tower windows and at the window jambs to visually frame the openings. Refer to sheets A0.00, A0.04, A0.10, A0.15, A3.01, and A8.10 for revised designs, including new details 4/A8.10, 5/A8.10, 6/A8.10, 7/A8.10, and 8/A8.10. Staff Analysis: The recessed windows at the stair tower offer variation in building material. The proposed aluminum paneling will replace the previously proposed cement plaster to ensure high quality of design. Proposed renderings, elevations, and exterior details seem to be consistent. Condition of Approval #4f Evaluate whether the canopy will need struts at the first and third floor. If support is needed, show the supports. Applicant’s Response: The aluminum plate thickness has been increased from 1/4 inch to 3/18 inch. After Item 5 Staff Report     Packet Pg. 135     Item No. 5. Page 4 of 4 coordination with a structural engineer, it was confirmed that no additional supports are required. The canopy will be attached to new Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) welded to the existing structure that currently supports the glass and metal canopy. Refer to sheet A8.20 (detail 5/A8.20) for clouded revisions. Staff Analysis: The increased thickness of the aluminum panel would not require additional support. Structural calculations will be provided at the time of building permit to review the panel’s durability.
