Resolution No. 9759
Resolution of the Council of the City of Palo Alto to Designate 450
Bryant Street, Known as the Avenidas Building, to be Eligible as a
"Sender Site" in the Tran~fer of Development Rights Program
RECITALS
A. Chapter 18.28.0GO(d) of the Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) provides for the
Council to designate city-owned buildings that are Category 1 or Category 2 on the city's
historic inventory and/or Category I, II, Ill on the city's seismic hazards identification list as
eligible to participate as "sender sites" in the Transfer of Development Rights program as
provided in Chapter 18.18 of the Zoning Code.
B. The Avenidas Building located at 450 Bryant Street in Palo Alto, is designated as
a Category 2 historic building ("Major Building" of regional importance) on the City of Palo Alto
Historic Inventory and is recognized as a Point of Historical Interest by the State of California.
The Avenidas Building is also a Seismic Category II building.
C. The Avenidas Building is undergoing rehabilitation and expansion.
D. In 2015, a professional historic resources consultant completed a historic
resource evaluation of the proposed rehabilitation and new addition to the building. The
consultant recommended, and on May 26, 2015, the Palo Alto Historic Resources Board (HRB)
concurred, that the Avenidas Building is properly designated a Category 2 building and that the
rehabilitation project meets the definition of "historic rehabilitation" as set forth in Municipal
Code Section 18.18.080. The historic resource evaluation concluded and the HRB found that the
proposed historic rehabilitation plan for the building 'maintains the building's identified historic
character by conforming to the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation with respect
to preservation of character-defining features and with respect to compatibility and
differentiation of the proposed new construction.
E. After the HRB meeting on May 26, 2016, the Director of Planning and
Community Environment approved the recommendation of the HRB that the proposed
restoration was consistent with the required criteria in the Palo Alto Municipal Code and
therefore determined that the Historic Site was an eligible Sender Site for 4,594 square feet of
bonus floor area ratio based on historic preservation.
F. The Chief Building Official has approved the seismic retrofit upgrade as
compliant with the requirements of the Seismic Retrofit ordinance, and has certified that the
rehabilitation and expansion project is eligible for 4,594 square feet of bonus floor area ratio
based on seismic retrofit.
G. In total, the Avenidas Building is entitled to 9,188 square feet of bonus floor area
ratio, to be used on site or sold as development rights according to the procedures and

requirements of the Palo Alto Municipal Code. None of the 9,188 square feet of floor area ratio
will be used on site.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Palo Alto RESOLVES as follows:
SECTION 1. The Avenidas Building located at 450 Bryant Street is hereby
designated as a "sender site" in the Transfer of Development Rights program. The Avenidas
building is entitled to transfer 9,188 square feet of bonus floor area ratio through the Transfer
of Development Rights Program, consisting of 4,594 square feet for historic rehabilitation and
4,594 square feet for seismic retrofit.
