SECTION 2. The area being discontinued for park purposes in Section 1 of this Ordinance
is based on the legal survey attached as Exhibit 1.
SECTION 3. The area being undedicated as parkland by this Ordinance may only be used
to construct a road linking the adjacent Palo Alto Transit Center with El Camino Real and related
improvements, such as but not limited to: bus stops, utility infrastructure, landscaping, sidewalks,
bicycle paths, safety infrastructure, parking spaces, lighting, signage and wayfinding, parking
restrictions, and any improvement otherwise permitted in dedicated parkland (including those
permitted after adoption of an ordinance).
SECTION 4. The City Council finds this proposed transit connector project exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed project comes within the
statutory exemption for “facility extensions not to exceed four miles in length which are required
for the transfer of passengers from or to exclusive public mass transit guideway or busway public
transit services.” Pub. Res. Code § 21080(b)(12). Due to its fixed location, Caltrain qualifies as an
“exclusive public mass transit guideway” service. The proposed project would extend the existing
transit center facility by approximately 210 feet, through the intersection of Quarry Road and El
Camino Real, to facilitate the transfer of passengers to Caltrain, among other public transit
services.
SECTION 5. Effective Date. This ordinance shall be effective only if approved by a majority
of the voters and shall go into effect immediately after the vote is declared and this ordinance is
adopted by the City Council.
