ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALO
ALTO AMENDING THE ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF PALO
ALTO TO CHANGE THE DESIGNATION OF A 1.84 ACRE
PARCEL AT 2300 EAST BAYSHORE ROAD FROM "PLANNED
COMMUNITY" TO LM(D) (3) "LIMITED INDUSTRIAL WITH
COMBINING DISTRICTS"
The Council of the City of Palo Alto does ORDAIN as
follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council finds as follows:
A. The Planning and Transportation Commission
( "Commission" ) , after a duly noticed public hearing on
January 29, 2003, has recommended that the City Council of the
City of Palo Alto ("Council") rezone the 1.84 acre site at 2300
East Bayshore Road to "Limited Industrial with Combining
Districts", LM(D) (3).
B. The Council recognizes that restaurant use of the
1.84 acre parcel appears to be no longer economically viable in
that the failure of Scott's Seafood at this site (and relative
success at Town and Country Shopping Center) indicates that
restaurant use, in this case, did not benefit well enough from
the employment center.
C. The Council has received the facts presented at
the public hearing, including public testimony and reports and
recommendations from the director of planning and community
environment or other appropriate city staff.
D. The Council finds that a change of district
boundaries to LM(D} (3) would be in accord with the purposes of
Title 18 of the Palo Alto Municipal code, in that before the
adoption of Planned Community Zone PC 2785, the designation on
the parcel was LM(D}; the site meets the minimum area
requirement for the District; the site is adjacent to other
LM(D) (3) parcels, and LM{D} {3} uses are appropriate in this
location.
E. The Council finds that rezoning the parcel to the
LM(D} (3) zone is in accord with the Palo Alto Comprehensive
Plan, amended pursuant to the accompanying resolution, in that
the East Bayshore Employment District is primarily zoned
LM (D) (3) .

parcel, within the "Limited Industrial with Combining Districts,
LM (D) (3) Zone."
