Sylvia Martinez, 794 Allen Court, represented Duveneck, Juana Breones, Maloney, Palo Verd Schools, and said that each of the schools needed crossing guards. Since the beginning of the school year, the representati ves from the four school s were assisting the City/School Safety Committee by compiling data on the respective intersections. Most reports, except Juana Breones, was still under study and would be turned in to the Traffic Safety Committee. It was anticipated that addi- tional crossing guards funding would be necessary, and she was alerting the City to that possibility. 2. Debbie Stunchfi el d, Director of the Mi dpeni nsul a Health Ser- vice Home Care and Hospice Program, and represented the Mid - peninsula Hospice Network, said that "hospice" was a concept of care designed to meet the special needs of terminally ill patients and their families. The goal was to provide loving, competent and comprehensive care to persons in the final stages of illness. November 7-14 was proclaimed by Congress to be National Hospice Week. The City of Palo Al to joined with Congress i n the proclamation, and in doing so, important recognition had been provided for hospice care as a humane and realistic approach to meeting the needs of terminally ill patients and their families: Many events were scheduled to celebrate National Hospice Week --some of them locally. The City's proclamation encouraged the community to parts ci;pate in the events, to learn about the hospice programs and resources available, and .to learn how to help hospice programs and fam- ilies. The suppor.t and encouragement of community leaders was extremely important and appreciated by hospice families a.nd programs. On behalf of the Hospice Network and Hospice fam- ilies, she thanked Mayor Eyerly, Councilmembers and the Human Relations Commission for their support. Mayor Eyerly announced the need for an Executive Session' regarding Labor Relations to be held ° during the break.

RESOLUTION 6073 entitled "RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF IHL LIFT. lit. PALO ALTO EXPRESSING APPRECIATION TO WILLIAM BLYTHE FOR OUTSTANDING PUBLIC SERVICE AS A MEMBER OF THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD' MOTION PASSED unanimously, Witherspoon absent. Mayor Eyerly presented the framed Resolution of Appreciation, and a plaque expressing appreciation on behalf of the City of Palo Al to for the contributions of William Blythe in guiding the growth and development of the City thus helping to insure the quality standards of the community. Mr. Blythe thanked the City Council and expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to serve on the ARB. It was an interesting experience for him, and it was a pleasure to work with the other members of the Board. After living in Palo Alto for 20 years and raising his family in the community, he now had a better under- standing of what everyone in Palo Alto owed to the City Council and City staff who provided the amenities enjoyed by its citi- zens. Councilmember Fletcher commented that periodically she sat in on Architectural Review Board meetings and was always impressed by the hard work that went in to each member's study of every item on the : agenda. Time was donated from their normal careers to the City and it was gratifying to have such a dedicated and knowledge- able Architectural Review Board.

ITEM #3, URBAN LANE - REVIEW OF 1979 CITY STAFF STUDY AND JULY 23, STREIT -SYSTEM MOtIl-ICAFIbR tc0:11.bUrrr Mayor Eyerly said that the Planning Commission addressed the mat- ter in terms of possible rezoning, traffic problems, etc., a while back, but it was not agendized for Council because the recommenda- tion was for no change. Planning Commissioner Lanie Wheeler said the Commission reviewed the Urban Lane area on three separate occasions- -the most recent of which was i n connection with the proposed parking structures on both Lot J and at a site in the Urban Lane area. Regarding the parking structure, the Planning Commission's attitude was one of cautious cynicism. At the time, it was recommended that the Coun- cil pursue the necessary land acquisition and construct a tempo- rary lot on the proposed site while careful 1y moni tori ng the effect of such a parking 1 of on the traffic and circulation in the vicinity. The Commission questioned the level of use that the location would enjoy. There was both a physical and psychological barrier in using the site for parking for those who were actually going to be working in the downtown urea . The Commission was con- cerned about the congestion that might result --not only from the subject project --but from several other projects that were either newly installed in the area or not yet installed. There was con- cern that poor ci rcul ati on exi steel in the area and it was assumed that the ultimate circulation pattern in the area was based upon the fact that the land use would remain the same. Concern was al so raised about the cost benefit relationship of construction of a garage in that location, the number of people it would serve and how much it would cost to make it easier for those people to have pedestrian access to downtown. -Regarding the land use in the area, the Commission addressed those issues in a at least two meetings with a lot of public input. Many services currently located in the area were either rare in Pala Alto or unique to Palo Alto. They served other Palo Alto businesses and would be hard-pressed to find locations either in, or close to, Palo Alto if they were asked to relocate by being rezoned out of the area. There were many small individual lots and it would be difficult to assemble those lots to make any kind of cohesive devei opment in that area The existing circulation was very poor, and.. any sweep- ing land use changes in the area would necessitate, a.great expense to the City to improve those circulation elements. The Commission also felt that housi ng was the most pressing need for redevelop- ment in the area, but recognized that the site, while having some strong points favoring redevelopment of housing, had serious con- straints for redevel opment in, that . manner. The links to the out- side world were weak, there was poor pedestrian access and poor. traffic circulation in and around the area. El Canino ;;Real and the railroad tracks offered benefits and .;detriments to a : housing community Staff had 1 explained the difficulty of _completely replanting an al ready developed ' urea very well. Pol i cymakers, such as the : Planning Commi ssion and City 'Council, must be sensi- tive not only to the current difficulties of doing a rezoning of the area, but al so to the pressures, that would occur fifteen years hence for a new Planning Commission and City Council when those decisions were to be implemented 1 Mayor Eyerly said that in going over the Planning Commission's minutes, it appeared that the concerns of the public who spoke at those two meetings centered around a possible change in zoning. The traffic flow and garage did not appear to be major issues for the public --it was an analyzation of feasibility by the Commis- sion. 1 1 Ms. Wheeler responded that Mayor Eyerl y' s perceptions were cor- rect. Regarding the circulation problem in the area, the public that addressed the Commission seemed content with leaving the probl ems as they were. They were not happy with the prior situa- tion where there was an Urban Lane connection and were glad to be closed off. From their standpoint, while they found that some, people were lost in the neighborhood, they were not anxious to have ingress and egress improved. Director of Planning and Community Environment Ken Schreiber com- mented that Ms. Wheeler did a good job of summari zing the series of Planning Commission actions. He thought that the property own- ers who participated with the Planning Commission correctly noted that if the road system was upgraded --the intersections with El Camino improved, the roads widened and access generally improved in that area --it would facilitate the change that people did not want to occur. Staff got the message that people in the area wanted to be left alone. The area had odd shaped parcels and bad access, but served the people well for activities such as antique furniture stripping and repair. The people did not want the area to undergo change. He noted that CMR:460:2 spoke of obtaining an Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) grant, which staff had been working on for a long time. On October 13, staff was advised that the approval was in the mail, and it arrived on November 1, 1982. Staff recommended, consistent with the Planning Commission's recommendation, that there be no change in land use designation for the Urban Lane area. Further, it was recommended that there be no upgrading of the road connection from University Avenue Circle to the existing Urban Lane area. He believed that the land use and road issues were tightly interconnected. If the land use were changed, then the road system needed to be addressed; and, if the road system were addressed then the land use would change almost inevitably. 1 f the Council wished to con- sider modification of the zoning, it would be i n response to con- cerns that whi l e the area had a number of low intensity uses and served distinct functions not found in many other - areas in Palo Al to, that the zoning permitted a considerable variety of uses and considerably more intensive retail and office uses. If the Coun- cil wished to try and maintain the existing mix, there might be some justification to' referral of the matter to the Planning Com- mission for consideration of modifying the zoning in the area to reduce the available options consistent with trying to keep the area as a true service commercial area rather than seeing it ev•al ve into offices. No action was recommended on the Urban Lane parking structure, and the Park and Ride lot would be part of _ the UMTA proposal which would be before the Council soon. \That would be the second lot in the process, and the need for it would have to be assessed first. If it were installed, as noted by the Plan- ning Commission, the traffic conditions would have to be monitored in the vicinity because. there were legitimate : concerns about access and potential traffic conflicts. Councilmember Levy asked for a description of the proposed garage. Ms. Mel ena said three. garage structures Were suggested for the site. Two of them would - ;have taken up the entire length of the site, about 750 feet, and the whole width, about 71 feet. The recommended structure would take about 550 feet i n length. Entrance to the garage would be from the Circe --a new parking lot was constructed as part of the transfer center that provided between 10. and; 20 spaces, and one woul d pass through that parking lot -and .enter the garage. 2 6 2 1 11/1/$2 Councilmember Levy said he was not clear as to the use of the area marked "area." He asked if that was part of the, garage and part of the traffic pattern, or was it outside. Ms. Helena said that was outside of the garage discussion. How- ever, all of the alternatives provided exit to Urban Lane so that one would be able to pass through the Urban Lane area to El Camino. Councilmember Renzel asked what options the City would have if Hubbard and Johnson suddenly went out of business and the site, which was vacant with the exception of one substantial structure, were to be redeveloped and someone came in with a major office complex. Mr. Schreiber responded that the land was zoned service commer- cial, which allowed offices, and the floor area ratio in that zone was 2.0, which meant that the maximum allowed floor area was two times the lot size. There were a number of substantially sized parcels in the area, but the parcel at 793 El Camino was 414,000 square feet. The maximum allowed development would be about 825,0.00 square feet. There was .quite a distance between saying what the maximum was and what would actually happen. Any type of major development would undoubtedly require an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), and the traffic and other impacts would have to be assessed. As noted earlier, access to the area was a criti- cal constraint --access both within the area as well as access to E1 Camino. The zoning was there, but he did not want the record to indicate that all of that development would be likely because some of the other constraints would come into play in the City's processes. 1 Councilmember Renzel was concerned that applications on as large a parcel as that one rarely got denied --they got modified, "miti- gated" and built. If the Ci ty did nothing, a major office devel - opment could and would be built within a reasonable time of the application. Mr. Schreiber said that was correct, and was also one of the con- cerns that staff had. While people now said they wanted to keep what they had, things could change rapidly, which was one reason why staff suggested that it might be appropriate for the Council to send back to the Planning Commission the task of considering whether the zori ng should be modified :to bring the zoning maximums more on line with the type of development there now. Councilmember Renzel asked if the possibility of exercising the City's easements for Urban Lane behind the Holiday Inn were dis- cussed, and having Holiday Inn participate in the parking struc- ture to substitute the parking they would lose. Mr. Diaz said that the idea of revoking the encroachment permit covering the back 36 feet of the Holiday Inn parcel was discussed. That created a number of problems --the Holiday Inn development was zoned "PC," and. revoking that license would take away a signifi- cant number of parking stalls, which would put the- development in violation of the PC ordinance_ through no fault of the developer. Staff also looked at a number of, options staying within the 36 foot encroa. hr ent area, which problems were contained in the staff report; The other option was not revoking the license, but put- ting in some connection between the back of the Holiday Inn and the rai l road l tracks , and in essence continuing on :with the parking in the roadway that started _ at the front end by the Circle and having Mr. thin, the adjacent Holiday Inn developer, participate in some; share of the costs in return for relieving hi:l of ,the doubt about the. back 36 foot area which was subject to revoca- tion. 2 6 2 2 U/1/82 1 1 Councilmember Renzel clarified that her suggestion was instead of participating in building the road elsewhere, that Mr. Chin par- ticipate in building she parking elswhere, which was what the City planned to build there anyway. She thought that would preserve the City's easement for Urban Lane in what would be the best access for Urban Lane, and would not intrude on the potential for a parking structure. She wondered whether some of that parking structure could be used for the Holiday Inn, and what would have been -,contributed toward a road alternative would be contributed toward a parking structure alternative, and it could perhaps have an underpass or overpass for pedestrians to get between the two locations. Director of Transportation Ted Noguchi did not recall that the cost participation of the Holiday inn was discussed the last time the parking structure concept was reviewed. It was something that could be cranked into the financing scheme. He thought that Mr. Chin had as much interest in additional parking as the City in that particular location. Councilmember Renzel thought that the Holiday Inn site was the subject of a referendum from the Manned Community zone. The PC zone showed Urban Lane as it was outside the boundaries of the Holiday Inn property, yet all the development was shown as it was except that Urban Lane was shown on the outside perimeter of that property. The election material submitted by the Holiday Inn to the voters of Palo Alto showed Urban Lane on the outside perimeter of the project. It was only after the project was being built that it was discovered that Urban Lane was incorporated into the project. At that point, the City retroactively issued an en- croachment permit. Since the PC zone was referended and since the election material showed Urban Lane as being outside of the bound- ary of the property, was the PC amended to put Urban Lane inside the boundary of the PC, or was an encroachment permit issued. City Attorney Diane Lee was not aware of the referendum about which Councilrnember Renzel spoke, and wanted to review the old files to ascertain what was re€erended.. Councilmember Renzel ci ari f,i ed that the public approved an ordi- nance of the Council, but the election material and the PC ordi- nance showed Urban Lane as being outside of the perimeter of ._,the. property. Ms. Lee -:said that would not take away the Council's power at a later ti me to do something else. She assumed that the Counci 1 passed a PC ordinance, someone filed a petition for referendum, and the voters upheld the Council's ordinance which showed Urban Lane outside the perimeter . of the property. If it was an initia- tive ordinance, there would be no possibility of amendment if it was not also by initiative. Councilmember Renzel said that .election material submitted by the Holiday Inn showed the Urban Lane outside of the property. She recollected that the PC also showed it outsi de. She did not know whetter the PC was ever amended to incorporate the Urban Lane inside. • if it were not amended to be inside., and an encroachment permit were issued, was the Urban Lane now part of the PC. The staff report indicated that in order to revoke the encroachment, the City would have to amend the PC. If the property known as Urban -Lane were never .incorporated into the PC zone as passed and the development_ plan was passed, then it would not have to be amended; Mayor Eyerly asked that staff investigate Councilmember Renzel's comments and give the Council _,a report... Councilmember Renzel commented that if the City wanted a residen- tial development in the long-term, but did not wi sh to amorti ze any of the existing uses, at the time those uses either changed hands or requested a change to a more intensive use, was there a mechanism by which it would trigger into a residential zoning at that point. Ms. Lee said none existed that would withstand a court challenge. Zoning ran with the land --not with a change in ownership --and it was suited for the land, not for who owned the property. Councilrnember Renzel said the Council had a choice of attempting to determine how it wished to see the property over the long --terra or letting happen whatever the market forces determined would hap- pen. Ms. Lee said that the Council , with the tool of the Comprehensive Plan, could plan for how it would like to see an area developed and the zoning should follow. She did not see any. other way to accomplish that goal. Vice Mayor Bechtel asked how the property owners and renters in the Urban Lane area were notified. The staff report indicated that carbon copies were sent to the property owners. She wanted to verify that they were notified. Ms. Melena said the property owners were notified in accordance with the list contained in the staff report. They received a copy of the staff report and it was marked that the item would be dis- cussed on October 25. A follow-up letter was sent to the property owners when it was ascertained that the matter would be discussed on November 1. Vice Mayor Bechtel asked if the City did the temporary parking lot at surface, that would not require connections through to Urban Lane. Ms. Melena said that was correct. Mayor Eyerly thought that Council had set a policy for the staff to go ahead and structure a Park and Ride surface lot in that area. Recommendation No. 5 indicated that staff would review the need and return to the Council with information on the lease, costs of improvement and funding sources. Ms. Helena did not recal 1 the specific Council action the first tine the UMTA grant was reviewed, but understood that first staff would set up the Park and Ride lot at Page Mill and Ash, and after it was working for a while and staff could determine whether another lot was needed, staff would look more closely at the. Urban Lane site. The recommendation in the staff report was to help staff clarify some of the issues because a lot of issues surround- ed the site at present. Mayor Eyerly said he thought that when the Council accepted the limited parking in the residential areas surrounding the downtown business area, it designated that if the City were to recci ve the grant, the Council would accept the staff's recommendation for limited parking on opposite sides of the street. When that was activated, the Park and Ride lot in south Palo. Alto would exist, plus staff would be moving towards establishing the one on Urban Lane. He did not think there was any question that the Council would use the Park and Ride lot on Urban Lane. The question was whether the City would go on to something more grandiose in the recommendation for the parking structure. Mr. Noguchi responded that the Urban Lane site was a designated site for the Park and Ride lot. Staff concluded that it would be better to start off with the Page Mill/Ash site to gain some experience with the shuttle service. Then, as the demand grew, to resurface that site and provide a Park and Ri de lot at that ti me. He thought it was premature to provide that lot and schedule the bus service when the demand might not exist at the other loca- tion. Mr. Schreiber said that related to the UMTA grant. As indicated, staff received the letter from Washington approving the grant, and that item would be before the Council on November 22. At that time, i f the Counci 1 desi red to pursue both 1 ots , i t was an option. Mayor Eyerly confirmed that regarding the lot which was already constructed on the part of the connection nearest the Southern Pacific (SP) depot, that was part of the Santa Clara Transit Dis- trict lot and the City had no control Mr. Noguchi said that lot was under the control of the Santa Clara County Transit District,. Mr. Diaz said it might be important to clarify that the little parking lot at the front was added to the City's El Camino Park lease. The City leased it from Stanford and sublet it to the County Transit Di strict as part of their transit district opera- tion and SP depot rehabilitation project. Mayor Eyerly said that if the Council advised staff to 5o ahead on the expansion of that lot and make a Park and Ride lot down the 1 eng th of the connection area, would it be the same type of con- struction in terms of the asphalt. He asked if the road quality of the first lot was such that, if the City decided to make a con- nection through there into the area --whether through Urban Lane or some other connecti on--i t woul d be sui tabl e for a roadway. Mr. Noguchi said yes. Staff consulted with the District staff to ensure that the design would be part of the parking lot layout. That parking lot had an open end to the south so that if the extension went through to create a Park and Ride lot, that same aisle could be extended all theway through and serve as a road to Urban Lane. Mayor Eyerly said the report mentioned the need for a signal light on El Camino if some type of connection were mate into the area. CalTrans had not been asked whether it was feasible for another signal light to be placed on El Camino in that area. He asked if the City had any idea whether another signal would be allowed. Mr. Noguchi said he had not made that inquiry pending direction of the Council. He did not believe there was enough traffic coming out of Homer to warrant any type of signal change at this, time. Mayor Eyerly said he realized that, but wondered if a connection was made into the Park and Ride lot, and if there was additional traffic, whether a signal light would be permitted. Marcia Boyle, 70 Homer Avenue, said that. Ole and her husband owned both 50 and 70 Homer Avenue. When the matter was before the Plan- ning Commission, she was concerned about the rezoning to single family dwellings because in her opinion the area was not the type of area where those types -of homes should be placed. Now she was concerned about the connection. She did not oppose :the parking, but did not want the connection from the parking through the prop- erty which would go through her building, and through Hubbard and Johnson to Encina. She did not receive the packet in the mail until last week and only received it by request. She had .received the letter stating . that the meeting was changed and . called the City to, ascertain what was happening.. Hubbard and Johnson planned on making improvements to the property. Her equipment rentals would still be at the same -location and Hubbard and Johnson's lum- ber yard would remain at the location, but plans were in the mill 2 6 2 5 11/1/82 to upgrade the area. Her yard presently had compressors, rollers, tractors, etc., parked there. She had a plan which proposed that some of the items would be selectively sold and the rest would be put under cover. If the road from the connection went through that property, it would send those plans down the tubes. She felt that her business was a service to the community, and Hubbard and Johnson felt that their business was a service to the community and intended to be around for some time. She felt that Council should have some input from Hubbard and Johnson concerning their plans. Mr. Schreiber said the existing urban Street went from the back of the Holiday Inn parking lot over to Homer. That was the route being talked about when talking about access from a parking lot or a parking structure. The question was access from Homer to El Camino and whether a light was needed. In the 1979 study, which was discussed i n 1979-80 by the Planning Commission, there was another map which showed other possible improvements, including a number of ways to substantially upgrade the road system. Ms. Boyle spoke about Alternative No. 1, which would not be recommend- ed -by staff or the Planning Commission unless the discussion was to substantially change the land use to residential. The City was not looking at that type of massive change in the road system when talking about the parking lot or parking structure. Ms. Boyle asked where the traffic would exit. Mayor Eyeri y said nothing was recommended by either staff or the Planning Commission in terns of traffic flow. The schematics were possibilities, but none were presently supported by any body. Mr. Schreiber said Urban Street as it now existed would be used, and that would be connected to a parking lot. It would most like- ly be one way out of the parking structure and parking lot. Councilmember Fazzino said he was overwhelmed by all of the infor- mation and concerns being raised about some of the ideas being presented. He thought it was important for ;.the Council . to indi- cate that there was no specific recommendations before it. The matter was dealt with in tremendous detail by staff and the Plan- ning Commission, and their recommendations were to not move ahead with any specific •approaches along the lines of what was mentioned by Ms. Boyle. He reiterated that the Council was not considering any recommendations, and unless something drastically changed in the next 15 minutes, the Council would not change the no recommen- dation philosophy of the Planning Commission. Mrs. Henry Carmean, 101 Alma, said she owned property at 63-67 Encina, and it was difficult to do anything with the property as long as the rezoning and other confrontations were being dis- cussed. She had two new tenants who had long-term leases. It was difficult to know how to improve one's property with no sense of what was going to happen. She had put a lot of .money into her properties in the last year, and the uses had changed from ware- housing to an advertising agency and an interior designer with furniture. She had tried to improve the looks of, the building, but did not want to spend a lot of money until the City's plans were known. NOTION: Counci 1 ■eiber Klein moored, seconded by Fazzino, to approve thestaff recommendations that: 1. No change .be made in the land use designation of the ; Urban Lane area; 2.: If the Countfl wishes to . eval nate -140 fl cati on -of - the- ohi ng: for the _Urb-en Lane area to reduce the potential for' more intensive -;office and retail activities, the issue be: referred - --to-the .P1 anni Ong Cosmi ss1 on; 26 26 11/1/82 MOTION CONTINUED 3. No action be taken on making the road connection from Univer- sity Avenue Circle to the Urban Lane terminus, through the Urban Lane Connection, and no other changes be made in the Urban Lane Area street system; 4. No action be taken on the Urban Lane parking structure propos- al at this time; 5. Regarding the park -and -ride lot, staff be directed to: a) Assess the need for the Urban Lane park -and -ride lot and return to the City Council with information on the lease, costs of improvement and funding sources when the need for the lot has been determined; b) If the Urban Lane park -and -ride lot is installed, monitor traffic conditions in the vicinity of the park -and -ride lot and take corrective actions when needed. Councilmember Klein said he agreed with the staff recommendations that no changes be made in the land use designations of the area, He thought that any changes would probably end up creati ng more problems than there was currently. He felt the area served a use- ful purpose for the Ci ty. Since he was in favor of the status quo, he understood that a status quo was not moved, and thus hi s motion included only paragraph 5. Mayor Eyerly agreed that nothing should be activated to change any of the zoning. However, it behooved the Council to think about the traffic situation. Some pieces of information were presented that should be pursued to ascertain what was feasible, The Coun- cil should ascertain whether a traffi c signal light on El Camino was possible either at Encina or Homer or that general area. Fur- ther, the ,Council should request a staff report on the PC for the Holiday inn, which concerned the easement they had on the back which was the roadway connecting Urban Lane at one time, and find out whether there was anything that might be done by way of a traffic connection or whether there would have to be a change in the PC. AMENDMENT: Mayor Eyerly moved that staff be directed to inves- tigate a signal light on El Camino in the area between Enci na and Homer. AMENDMENT FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. AMENDMENT: Mayor Eyerly moved, seconded by Renzel, that staff prepare a report concerning the Holiday Inn encroachment with co.- cents concerning cooperation from Holiday Inn for funding in the park -and -ride lot or any future parking structure. Counci lrnember Renzel said she- would support the amendment because the -.City -should clarify its ,rights with respect to the Urban Lane encroachment. She viewed the -:area as being a major area and one which was ripe for' redevelopment. It was an area -_.that was close to shopping, and a park -and -ride lot would' pravi de. easy transpor- tation to downtown. It was,'close to Stanford University, and appeared to ;be =an obvious place for the-:..Cauncil-to look -for hous ing in the long run. It was a. "chicken and eggs situation, where--. by if the Council planned for- access to the site, it night create the kind of intensification which was not desired by the. City under the current-,-.zonin-g• - However, if access. ,were not planned for, _ the -Counel,l .would-. end up. --with a 44eCe.,,meal,, -notr planned development in. an area with -what was now fair.iy- poor access and an - intensive zone. 'She thought it behooved the Council to go further and, look at its options for- planning access to the site, whether It was t"o create plan lines, which the City had the right to do, or to go ahead and---acqui re" rights -of -way: or whatever was needed. -- 2 :6 2 7 11/1/82 The first step was to ascertain the City's potential with respect to the former Urban Lane which was taken over by the Holiday Inn. She thought it was not a decision conscientiously planned by the Council in 1973, and it was not incorporated' in the PC at the time it was approved. Councilmember Klein said he would incorporate the amendment if it were worded somewhat differently. He felt it was premature to approach the _Holiday Inn, and a waste of staff time to talk about participation in funding a garage since it had not even been approved .in concept. He had no problem with directing the staff to report back on the status of use of the encroachment. Mayor Eyerly said he did not expect staff to negotiate with the Holiday Inn because it was not known whether to go for a parking structure or what. A report was needed as to the way staff envi- sioned the legality of the encroachment, and whether the City was in a position to ask the Holiday -Inn . for cooperation. AMENDMENT INCORPORATED INTO MAIM MOTION WITH APPROVALS OF MAKER AND SECOND. MOTION AS AMENDED PASSED unanimously, Witherspoon absent. Councilmember Renzel said staff suggested in Recommendation No. 2 that if Council wished to evaluate modification of the zoning for the Urban Lane area to reduce the potential for more intensive office and retail activities, the issue should be referred to the Planning Commission. She thought it was clear, with land prices being what they were, that intensification was likely to occur if the Council and Planning Commission did nothing about it. She preferred to see the Council refer the matter to the Planning Com- mission to look at a possibly more restrictive zoning classifica- tion. She would not rule out the possibility of high density residential. MOTION: Council■ember Renzel moved that the natter of a more restrictive zoning classification for the Urban Lane area be referred to the Planning Commission. MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. ITEM #4, REQUEST OF MAYOR EYERLY RE RESOURCE PLAN - ELECTRIC Mayor Eyerly said that a great deal was done to fulfill the City's needs for its anticipated electric load up to the year 2004 by the Council's approving the Calaveras Project at a 23 percent partici- pation. Regarding the anticipated growth within the City, . there was still a need for another_ 15 megawatts. The Council needed to address what types of projects it would support so that staff had some guidance for its power planning Further, the Council should address the needs, for resources past the year 2004, being cogni- zant that the City taay not have the advantage of low priced NAPA power that it now had. The key in planning et the Council level was to be made aware of the possible resources that the City could move into, and for staff to 'report on those possible resources and provide input as to what increased conservation efforts might be made through the next years to hold down the load asmuch as Pos- sible. Council would need to react to that report when it came. through in order for staff to have a feeling as to what type of projects it was interested in. MOTIOM. Mayor Eyerly moved, seconded by Cobbs to direct staff to report on resource pi amnia, for future .power needs to. include consersatien efforts. Vice Mayor Bechtel asked how that was different from the extensive reports the 'Council had had commencing last Winter and Spring, and the series of special: workshops on energy and resource planning. 1 1 She asked whether the Mayor was expecting to hear something dif- ferent or new. 1 Mayor Eyerly said the power projects kept opening up primarily through the NCPA, to which the City belonged. He felt that the City should be an active participant in some of the projects and others he saw no reason to support. Regarding the Harry Allen Project, he thought the City woald have been better off if the Council had instructed staff not to pursue it. Further, the City would have been better off if the Council had economically ana- lyzed, or staff was given some policy direction with regard to economics and had not investigated the wind project on the Tehachape. He wanted to provide staff with policy direction on those types of things. Vice Mayor Bechtel agreed. She did not object to the motion, but wanted to commend the staff because they had done a good job in the past in keeping the Council up to date. A lot of time was spent early on discussing the Harry Allen Project, and she remind- ed that Council some months prior to the its final vote on Harry Allen, she had pushed for nonparticipation. She felt staff did a good job on the Wind Farm Project by showing its strong hesita- tions. She was not sure that the Council would get an) ping much different from what it was now getting. Councilmernber Levy said he was surprised that members of the Util- ities Department were not present at the Council meeting. He asked if staff had any comments about Vice Mayor Bechtel's corn- ments and Mayor Eyerly's motion. City Manager Bill Zaner said staff saw no problem in producing the type of report requested. It was a logical progression from the series of reports which were provided earlier in the year to allow the Council to continue its deliberations and provide more precise direction as to which kinds of projects it would be appropriate to pursue. Projects did not come- up often, but as they did, there was front end money required to get into them. Some indication was needed from the Council as to which ones should be pursued. Staff concurred that an analysis was important, and direction from the Council would be hel pful . Councilmember. Fletcher welcomed the last part of_. the motion which emphaGized the conservation efforts because, pe"iodically, she wondered what had hEppened to the recommendations which were to come regarding sample ordinances staff was to review and bring back. Further, at the League of California Cities Conference, Davis was given an award for their excellent. program which was called "the Prime --Time Program." She hoped the City, would get some movement going on new conservation programs. Councilmember Levy was confused by the motion because he felt com- fortable with the way he perceived staff to be planning tor the City's utility needs --both long-term and short -term -ire the areas of consumption and conservation. He did not want to send staff a message to change its_ -`directions and mode of planning because he thought their mode of planning was good. ,He believed - in long- range planning, and thought the City's utility long-range planning was exemplary. It went out now past the turn of the century. He felt there was a danger in too much conceptualizing because it was done in a vacuum. The best wad to plan was to. have specific plans, allowing them to concretely look at all the elements and costs. Part of that would have to wait until after the. Calaveras Project moved ahead and they knew exactly what kind of power. development was seen, As the conservation policies were evolved and proven, the City's thinking- wool \ change. He was inclined not to support the motion, not because he disagreed with it. but because it essentially; mirrored what was , already going on, end, therefore. was not needed. 1 1 Mayor Eyerly said the study sessions indicated that there were projects in the mill in which staff .was , interested. Staff was eager - to get some type of a reaction from the Council concerning what types of resource planning to do until those projects were addressed. Basically,. the Council's policy was spelled out, and it would be helpful to Mr. Aghjayan and his department for the Council to request a report on resource planning --including what could be done- by way of conservation... The Council's reaction to the report would clarify for staff which way to go with regard to future planning. Staff did not want to do that before because Calaveras, the Wind Project, and Harry Allen had not yet been addressed. Councilmember Renzel agreed with Councilmember Levy that the cur- rent procedure was adequate. She found - i t difficult to understand why staff did not wish that same kind of policy •decision before those other projects, unless they were concerned that some type of policy decision would preclude them. It was 'important for the Council to understand the detailed ramifications of the projects before establishing any policy with respect to them. It would be. premature to address resource planning in a general way without having the specifics. She would oppose the motion. Mayor Eyerly was concerned because staff would not exclusively bring in hydro projects or renewable resource projects unless they had some strong feelings from the Council in that direction. He thought it would be helpful for the Council to address renewable resources and other types of resources, and establish whether the Council was interested in how those might tie into their load and whether to pursue some of them. Renewable resources was where the Council was, but that was not spelled out and staff could spend time and money on other types of resources that the Council might not support. He thought something in a general policy would be to the City's advantage. MOTION PASSED by a vote of 6-2, Renzel, Levy voting "no, Witherspoon absent. ITEM #5, REQUEST OF COJNCILMEMBER KLEIN RE REVISIONS TO OVERNIGHT Counci lmember Klein and Counci lrcmber Cobb believed that the situ- ation raised with regard to Robert Sni der' s truck produced some questions which should be. corrected. - MOT10N; Council®ember Klein moved, seconded by Cobb, that staff be directed to prepare an amendment to the overnight parking ordi- nance incorporating the following standards: 1. Thet the City allow hardship permits for commercial vehicles exceeding 7,000 pounds unladen gross weight; 2. That 'Hardship" shall be defi ne l the same as presently in . the ordinance for house cars and campers, namely that the appli- cant hes no legal aff-street parking space adequate to accom- modate the vehicle at his place of residence; 3. That issuance of the permit to the applicant will not unduly impact - the neighborhood. (The Police Department will - have: to make this judgment and will have a hearing to allow interested neighbors to testify in the same manner as 'a neighborhood testifies before the zoning officer in use permits or variance setters); 4. That no permit shall - he ; granted for any commerce# al rehi cl e i n any c1 'c*astance if its weight exceeds- a eaxisum gross of 14,000 ponds. (This last factor is consistent with Chapter 10.48 which prohibits vehicles exceeding seven tons on resi- denti al stmts..) 2 6 3 0 11/1/82 Councilmember Renzel asked whether in the phrase "The Police Department will have to make this judgment meant the Police Department or the Council. Councilmember Klein said the Police Department, and asked City Attorney Diane Lee if that was her understanding as well. City Attorney Diane Lee responded that she understood that ini- tially there would be a decision by the Police Department or the Supervisor of Revenue Collections, and if someone were dissatis- fied with that decision, there would be an appeal to the Council. Vice Mayor Bechtel asked regarding standard No. 1, to allow hard- ship permits for commercial vehicles exceeding 7,000 pounds, if the current City ordinance limited vehicles to 7,000 pounds and thus that figure. Ms. Lee said that under the City's present ordinance, only those commercial vehicles which exceed 7,000 pounds unladen gross .weight were prohibited from .overnight parking. Anything under that was permitted for overnight parking, The ordinance would create another range of 7,000 to 14,000 pounds to park with a permit, and anything over 14,000 pounds would be prohibited. Joyce Anderson, 3881 Magnolia Drive,.. said that a resident went to her with a copy of an ordinance in hand expressing frustration : and depression over a huge semi truck that was parked within one inch of her driveway. Her neighbor complained to the City about the. semi because it was parking in front of her home. Five different neighbors complained about the same truck. The present ordinance was not enforced because someone had a petition that neighbors did not care that a semi was parked in their neighborhood and one Councilmember brought the matter before the Council. The ordi- nance might be loosened so that the .police would not enforce the ordinance. The residents in her neighborhood cared and had pride in their neighborhood. They complained because of the aesthetics, and felt that a semi destroyed the neighborhood's character. Two new residents on her street said they would never have purchased a home in Palo Alto if they thought it possible that the City would. allow a semi to park in front of their horse. If another card parked across the street from the semi, there was not enough room for two-way traffic. Dependent upon which spot the semi chose to park, there was only room for one way traffic, and it was ques- tionable that there was room for an emergency vehicle to get through. Further, having the semi parked on the street broke down the street's edges. The City had already redone the edges of the street in her neighborhood. There, was no mistaking when the semi roiled in in the evening but adjacent neighbors felt it was worse when the truck started in the morning. Her block already had one semi, two commercial dump trucks and one _commercial pickup. She asked when a street stopped being residential and become a commer- cial parking lot. The residents that lived closest to the semi would like > the ordinance to be enforced. If. any changes were made, it should make the ordinance more restrictive -not less. She thought it was in the City's best interests to protect and enhance what it had. She asked what would happen if the owner of the ' semi lived in an apartment, building wi th no street -front park- ing, and if the permit would allow the truck owner to ` park any- place on the street. Councilmember Klein said he was upset that the Police Department had not been enforcing the ordinance which was effective in As. Anderson's neighborhood. \ The law was on , the books and should be enforced. The amendment was minor and designed to take care of an almost one of a_ kind situation. It was to :allow -a truck on the streets only if it could be shown that the truck would not impact the neighborhood. He found it hard to believe that a truck owner would be ; able to meet that burden in Ms. Anderson's neighborhood. Mr. Snider was likely to be able to meet that test, and his neigh- borhood was much different. He intended an extremely narrow exception to the rules. He was persuaded that banning commercial vehicles in Palo Alto was a good idea. Councilmember Cobb agreed with Councilmember Klein. He felt there was adequate protection both in terms of the size limit and of having to have the support of the neighborhood before obtaining the exception. He asked how long a permit would be valid. City Manager Bill Zaner said that the current ordinance provided that an exception permit was good for one year, and the subject permit would probably have the same length of time. He urged that the exception permit not be adopted. It presented a series of problems, only some of which the Council heard tonight. He reminded the Council that the permit was issued to the owner and operator of the vehicle, and that owner and operator may park any- where with that permit. It was not for a specific place --it could be parked in front of his own home, or in front of someone else's home. If the neighbors objected, it could be moved down the street and parked somewhere else. Staff said that was difficult to deal with, and Council would have difficulty wi th the kinds of comments it received tonight from neighbors in adjacent areas, who had to deal with problems from other neighborhoods. Further, staff had difficulty in trying to determine what "unduly impacting the neighborhood" meant. He asked if that meant that one permit per block could be issued or what. The phrase wa.s such a loose and ambiguous standard that it was no standard at al l , and staff did not believe it could be applied. Staff was also concerned that they would end up with what amounted to a neighbor versus neighbor set of arguments. This type of incident would set the neighbors against one another. The current program provided for certain exceptions if a hardship could be shown. The only condi- tion of hardship was that the individual did not have sufficient off-street parking to house his vehicle, A hardship permit could be applied for in order to park the vehicle on the street. To begin that process, it was necessary for staff to have permits in hand in order to issue them. Those permits had been received, and staff was preparing to notify people that they could obtain a per- mit if they wished to do so. Staff believed that it was impor- tant, before starting to cite vehicles, to warn people about the enforcement first. For some time, staff: had been placing warnings on windshields telling drivers that they had a limited amount of time to get .the cars off the street and into their driveways and garages. The actual citations under the ordinance would commence in a short period of time. Rob Snider, 981 Oregon Avenue, said he sympathized with Ms. Anderson. There was no doubt that problems could be caused from large semi trucks. In his situation, his neighbors expressed their concerns and supported him. He lived in his neighborhood for eight years, had not created any problems, and did not think he had abused the possible imposition of : parking his truck in front of his home. He felt that if Circumstances had arisen where people with semis and larger commercial vehicles over 7,000 pounds had initimidated neighbors or bothered them, there should-__-be some form of restriction. He asked about - the person that did not create a problem., In his case, Oregon Avenue had a lot of semis driving by, and it was noisy. He left at 3:OO a.m., and none of his neighbors could tell when he left. If the hardship could be proven, he felt that the permit should be .issued. Councilmember Fletcher asked Mr. Snider howmany trucks he owned. Mr. Snider said he owned two _trucks, but only one was parked in front 'of his:home. Mr. Snider .said he was informed by one of his neighbors that Coun- cilmem er Fletcher visited his neighborhood. He was asked by a neighbor why one Councilmember was .negative about the issue. Mayor Eyerly said it was common for a Councilmember, when wres- tling with an agenda item, to talk with affected neighbors, or go out and look at the area. Counciimenber Fletcher said she visited the neighborhood yesterday and looked at the vehicle in question. Mr. Snider's rig had ten wheels and the vehicle was about twice the width of a car. There were four trucks parked in .the vicinity --the one semi, two large pickup..trucks and one compact truck. She approached the next door neighbor, , who was sitting on a bench outside, and asked him who owned the trucks. The gentleman said that the compact truck was his and that the other three trucks belonged to his neighbor. When the gentleman's daughter approached, Councilmember Fletcher asked her whether the three trucks bothered them because the Coun- cil had received a petition indicating that the neighbors were not opposed to that particular truck. The girl sated that her father had signed th'e petition, but that she woke up every morning because the truck made such a loud noise as it left. It did not present a very aesthetic view for the neighbors or anyone who was on the street. There was thick shrubbery between the frontage road and the expressway. Further, Councilmember Fletcher under- stood that on Oregon Expre-ssway large trucks were prohibited. She would not support the motion, and realized that it would put neighbor against neighbor. She felt the entire ordinance was use- less unless the Councilmembers stuck by it. Councilmember Renzel agreed with Councilmember Fletcher. She had trouble with the "unduly impact the neighborhood" provision because it suggested that the neighborhood would have notice. She asked what the block radius would be for someone who lived in an apartment building. There was' a problem with determining whether any undue impact existed or whether there was support of the neighbors. Mr. Snider had done an admirable job in presenting his case, but the Council !oust recognize that a commercial vehicle was a business of sorts. Vehicle storage could be provided as a business expense --it might be a slight inconvenience to the operator --but the commercial venture must be recognized. From the City's -,point of view, as a com€nerci al��` venture, it must be subject to the zoning. She would oppose the motion. Ms. Lee said that the Palo Alto Municipal Code Section 10.48.040 and 10.48.050 designated what streets were through truck routes and what streets were restricted truck routes. Councilmember Fletcher was correct that Oregon Expressway was not a truck route. Councilmember Levy asked if .Mr. Snider's truck qualified for exceptions under the current ordinance. Ms. Lee said no, because it exceeded .7,000 pounds unladen gross weight. The City did not have a permit system for those types of vehicles. The system only applied to campers and vans. Councilmember Levy asked how big a 7,000 pound unladen vehicle would be. Mr. Snider said a 7,000 pound unladen: vehicle would be similar to a four-wheel, three-quarter ton pickup truck, loaded with a roll bar, wench and possibly a camper shell. His truck was 13,700 pounds and 300 pounds below the commercial vehicle limit for Palo Alto Counci lmernber Levy said that Mr.. Snider's vehicle was,,. a commercial business. In that sense, it was analagous to anyone pursuing a commercial business in a Palo. Alto residential area - 1t was not_. allowed for various reasons. He did not believe it :was a special hardship on someone pursuing the- business to find a place of garaging that was acceptable. If that place was a mile or two from his home, that did not impose an onerous burden because most people's' places of business were a mile or two from their 2 6 3. 3 1.111 /82 As Corrected 17.10/83' individual homes. He was sympathetic to Mr. Snider because he had been thoughtful of his neighbors, and his neighbors were sympa- thetic to his situation. It was unfortunate that the nature of government was basically to do the best for everyone, but realiz- ing that there would always be deserving individuals who were not allowed to do what was probably an acceptable thing generally - because the laws. had to take everyone into consideration. There was no question that parking a vehicle over 7,000 pounds would be a hardship for anyone to do in their residential area. Everyone would qualify_ for an exemption. The real question was of gaining the acquiescence of the neighbors. He agreed with what had been said that it was a sensitive issue which was difficult to work with. Councilmember Klein said he thought it would be appropriate to have the amendment process be limited to a specific space in front of a house and not allow the truck to wander all over the neigh- borhood. Councilmember Fazzino said it was the first time he had heard that Palo Altans could conceivably be timid about the democratic pro- cess if the Council decided to approve the measure. He thought there would be great debate in town, and people would not feel timid about expressing their concerns about a vehicle of that nature being parked in front of someone else's home. It was important that the issues of process be separated from the speci- fic application the Council looked at a few weeks ago with respect to Mr. Snider. If the Council was to simply develop a procedure centered around Mr. Snider's needs, it would be inappropriate for the City at large. At the same time, the motion offered a proce- dure whereby someone could petition for hardship. He was suppor- tive of that kind of possibility for the Council's planning of procedural laws. Further, he felt that the commercial business argument did not fly unless every vehicle, car or truck was pro- hibited from parking if it was used for a business purpose. He was not certain whether Mr. Snider's vehicles would be allowable under the proposed hardship provision. His truck was only 300 pounds from the maximum allowed,. and the Police Department or some neighbors might have some concerns that it was an overwhelming amount of poundage and vehicle to place on that residential street. At the same time, it was being totally inflexible and hardheaded not to allow someone to move through the democratic process and hear out the neighbors and the applicant regarding the need to place a vehicle in a spot. in front of their home. He sup- ported Councilmember Klein's comment regarding an amendment for allowable space. The Council was not deciding tonight whether Mr. Snider or anyone else could park a vehicle in front of their home. Many areas of town would have tremendous opposition to anything of that nature, and the Police Department and Council would take that into account when making their decision. Allowing a hardship provision --as was done with many other planning,;laws--was a rea- sonable approach, and he -encouraged Council support of the motion. Councilmember Fletcher . r'esponded that the process could not be separated from the particular question. The situation Was partic- ularly sensitive where hard feelings would be created between neighbors that were not now there. The neighbors felt protected by an ordinance which was on the books, and if they were approached by a neighbor to try and circumvent the ordinance, they would be too timid and reluctant to create hard feelings. !NOTION FAILED by a' vote "aye," Witherspoon, ;absent. of 3-5, Fazzino, Cobb,..

Staff had indicated 2 6 3 4 11/1/82 that there was no need to have the Council meeting, particularly in -view of the absences. 1 1 City Manager Bill Zaner commented that the Code required that rea- sons be given in a public open meeting when an item was taken up as an urgency matter. For the record, he said the urgency was for three reasons: 1) An unusual number of absences would occur on November 15, which , was not ascertained until after tonight's agenda was published; 2) The vacant school site matter was intend- ed for November 15, which would now be scheduled earlier in order to have the full Council present; and 3) The urgency arose out of the need to advise the public in advance that the meeting might he, cancelled. Councilmember Fletcher clarified that the staff report mentioned Councilmembers having personal and/or family commitments which would result in their absence. Several Councilmembers would be attending the seminar on Cable Television, which was fashioned for Councilmembers, and was not related to personal or family commit- ments. - MOTION: Mayor Eyerly moved, seconded by Fazzino, to cancel the City Council meeting of November 15, 1982.
