RESOLUTION NO~ 6065 RESOLUTION OP THE COUNCIL OP THE CITY OF PALO ALTO AMBNDING 'l'BE PALO ALTO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OP THE CITY OF PALO ALTO (STANFORD UNIVERSITY LANDS) WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has conducted a review and on May 19, June 23 and July 28, 1982 held a properly-noticed public hearing to consider amendment of the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan. NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Palo Alto does RESOLVE as follows: SECTION 1. The Council finds that chan9ed conditions and the public interest, health, safety and welfare require the amendments to the Palo ~lto Comprehensive Plan (1980-1995) set forth below. SECTION 2. Land Use Text. On pa9e 74-75 of the Comprehensive Plan, the text regarding Stanford Unviersity is amended to read: Stanford University Stanford University lands comprise a large portion of Palo Alto's planning area. The 1976 Comprehensive Plan Map designated much of the developed Stanford campus as Major Institution/ Special Facilities. Most undeveloped University-owned land, especially west of Junipero Serra Boulevard, was designated Open Space ••• Controlled Development. The Plan adopted in 1981 generally retained the 1976 land use designations. However, the University undertook a major planning effort in 1979 intended to provide a detailed University land use plan. Conflicts between the University's plan and the <:'H:y•s plan will have to b'! addressed. In 1980, the City and the County worked on a new set of land use categories and definitions which are incorporated into the County General Plan. Under the County General Plan, unincorporated lands of Stanford Unversity are designated Major Education and Institu- tional Uses with a further designation of either University Lands-Campus or University Lands-Academic Reaerve and Open Space. University Lands-Campus in- cludes the developed academic portions of the University in which Stanford provides its own urban services. The County requires a General Plan amendment for transfer of lands from Academic Reserve and Open Space to the Campus designation. The County's designation of University I.ands- Acaderaic Reserve and OpE:n Space is applied to the land weat of Junipero Serra Boulevard, incl udin9 the land south of Pa~e Mill Road, known as Stanford North and South, and to parcels of land adjacent to and including the A~boretua. Por th~se lands, the County General Plan requires that, •policies focusing on environmental con- cerns and conservation of natural, visual, and heritage resources must be developed for th• entire academic reserve throuqh a cooperative process A110ng the Boar~ of Supervisors, the University Board of Trustees, and the City Council.• 'l'he County further states that new uses aball require a uae permit and provides that •a special area plan shall noraally be required for the entire area affected by a specific develogaent propoaal prior to consideration of a uae perait.• • In 1tl2, the Palo Alto Collf)reh•n•iv• Pl•n waa a .. n~ for \ll\incorporated land• ot Stanford Univ•r•lty by at'opt inq l5nd d• de•l9not ion• vt.ich ar• •i•ilar !n lan9'-la-cJ• to ti\• d9at9natlon• u&•d by Santa Clara County.
