The Council of the City of Palo Alto does ORDAIN as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings and Recitals. The Council of the City of Palo Alto finds and declares
as follows:
A. On October 26, 2015, the City Council adopted Interim Ordinance No. 5357, and
related findings, establishing an annual limit of 50,000 square feet of net new office/R&D
development in specified areas of the City including Downtown, the California Avenue area, and
the El Camino Real Corridor. By its terms, Ordinance No. 5357 will expire within two years of its
effective date of November 26, 2015 or upon adoption of the Comprehensive Plan Update,
whichever occurs earlier.
B. On January 30, 2017, during consideration of the Comprehensive Plan Update,
the City Council directed staff to prepare and bring forward, separate from the Comprehensive
Plan, an ordinance establishing the annual office limit on a continuing basis without a specified
sunset date.
C. A limited extension of the interim ordinance through June 30, 2018 will allow
time for the City to complete the necessary work and analysis to prepare the annual office limit
ordinance.
D. The findings adopted in Ordinance No. 5357 are incorporated herein by
reference and reaffirmed.
SECTION 2. Extension. The City Council hereby extends Interim Ordinance No. 5357
through June 30, 2018.
SECTION 3. Supersede. This Ordinance supersedes any provision of the Palo Alto
Municipal Code and Interim Ordinance No. 5357 inconsistent with the provisions of this
Ordinance.
SECTION 4. Severability. If any provision, clause, sentence or paragraph of this
ordinance, or the application to any person or circumstances, shall be held invalid, such
invalidity shall not affect the other provisions of this Ordinance which can be given effect
without the invalid provision or application and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance
are hereby declared to be severable.

SECTION 5. Effective Period. This Ordinance shall be effective on the thirty-first date
after the date of its adoption. This Ordinance shall expire on the earlier of June 30, 2018 or
upon Council adoption of an ordinance replacing the interim ordinance and establishing an
annual office limit on a continuing basis.
SECTION 6. CEQA. The City Council finds that this Ordinance falls under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption found in Title 14 California Code of Regulations

some commercial areas of the City.

CONSUMER DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Palo Alto (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
