SUBJECT: The Application of Martin J. Sweeney, Helen M. Sweeney
and the Main Hotel Corporati on f or a Cha nge of the
Devel opment Plan Applying to Property Kn own as 699 San
Antonio Avenue and 4176 Middlefield R oad, Z on e District
P -C. (68-ZC-6)
I. The Subjec t Pro perty:
The subject pro per ty is the existi ng g asoli ne se rvice st ation on
the westerly corner of San Antonio Avenue and Middlefield Road
and the a djacen t unimproved par cel know n as 4176 Middlefield
Roa d which was added to the service st ation use in Ja nua ry,
i968 by City Co uncil Reso lution No . 4064.
The su bject property totals approximately 22,487 sq uare feet
in area with a frontage of approximately 111 f eet on San Antonio
Avenue and 160 feet on Middlefield Road.
II. Adja cent Proper ty:
On the nor th, on the oppo site side of Middlefield Road is a
gasoline service station in the P -C District.
On the east, on the o ppo site side of San An tonio Avenu e, is
ano ther ga solin e service statio n zoned P -C.
On the sou th, a djacen t to the subje ct property, ar e apartment
structur es on Byr on Stree t in the P -C Distric t.
III. The Propos al:
The Richfield Divisio n of the Atlantic -Richfield Co mpany proposes
to r aze the presen t service sta tion an d re con struct in accordance
with the pro posed Develo pment Plan a ttache d to this report.
A rustic -type steel bu ildin g with simulate d lap siding and
simulated bo ard and batte n siding with so me brick veneer is
proposed. The ro of would be a lo x pitch composition roo f. A
canopy will ex ten d from the bu ildin g to within 22 feet of the
Middlefield Road proper ty line. A free-sta nding c ano py with a
setbac k of 20 feet will cover the pump island on the Sa n Anto nio
Ave nue side of the pro per ty. The ar chitectur e of the canopies
is no t indica ted on the plan s. The building is approx imately 18
fee t high and the building and canopies cove r approximately 17
per cent of the lot. The lubrica tion ba ys wo uld face the rea r
property line.
The bu ilding is propo sed to be 8 feet from the in terior sidelin e
with an enclo sed trash are a betwe en the building Ind the side-
lin e. The windowless rear walls of the adjacent apartments face
the s ervice sta tio n on this side. Exc ept at the en closed trash
area lo cation, a pla ntin g area 6 feet wide is indicated a lo ng
this it erior sidelin e. The Atlantic -Ric hfield Company propose s
EXHIBIT

that the existi ng board fence on this sideline will remai n.
H owev er, there is no f ence 'indic ated from the j og in the li ne
to the rear c orner.
Th e r ear property line is intended to be bord ered by a planti ng
a rea 10 feet wide (except for a phone booth) and an 8 -foot high
board fence from the rear cor ner to the stre et setb ack line 24
feet from Middlefield Ro ad where the fence will be reduced to
3 feet in height .
A planter 9 feet.wid e is sh own on the Middlefield Ro ad fro ntage
be tween the dri veways . An oval pla nter at the street intersection
a nd a pla nter 15 feet wide on the San Ant onio Av enue fr ontage are
propo sed.
La ndscaping as proposed would cover appr oximately 13 per ce nt
of the parcel.
A sign 25 feet high and app roximately 78 square feet in area is
pro posed to be loca ted at the street corner to repla ce 2 simil ar
but sma ller sign. now lo cated on the pump isl and can opies on
each street fro nta ge. The sign regulations would allow a sig n
25 fe et in he ight an d 78 square feet in area on this property if
zoned C-3.
No t shown on the plans, but pro posed, are 2 trading stamp signs
7-1/2 square feet in area each, 2 pr ice post er b oards 12 squ are
feet in a rea eac h, and 1 e ac h "Master Chzrge" and "BankAmerica"
signs of unspecified size.
The Atlan tic -Richfield Ccupa ny proposes to start const ru ction by
August 1, 1969 and c omplete the proje ct by Dece mber 31, 1969.
It is the Staff's opinion that the plan s co uld be greatly impro ved,
as follows:
1. Landsca ping: Plant tr ees in se lecte d lo catio ns
to comple ment the rustic archite cture of the
building. Sugge sted are two trees in the planter
adjacen t to the side walk on Middle field Roa d;
a tr ee in an islan d in the ex pa nse of aspha lt
between the double pump islands and the rea r
t. _,perty line strategically place d to a llo w
a utomo bile cir culation; two trees in the planter
a dja cent to the sidewalk on San Anton io Avenue
with this pla nting island re du ce d in width to
allow the pump isla nd to be moved to ward San
Antonio Ave nue to allo w widenin g of the 6 -foot
planting a re a on the interior sideline ba ck
near the bu ilding to allow two trees in that
ar ea.
2. Lightin g: Replace the finger -like fixtures with
electro liers of be tter design .
Ex tend the 8 -foo t fenc e from the jog in the
in ter ior sideline to the rear co rner and thence
to within 24 fe et of Middlefield Road where -
u pon the fence height would be r edu ced to 6
feet a nd continue to within 16 feet of Middle -
field Road at which po in t the fenc e would be
r educed to a height of 3 feet and co ntin ue
to the Middle field Roa d property lin e.

The Richfield Company representative was contacted in respect to
the pr oposed changes and indicated they would ev aluate the Staff's
prop osals and try to i ncorporate as many as possible int o their
pl ans pri or to the Commission meeti ng.
IV. Conclusion:
The pr oposed Developm ent Plan, with the changes suggested, will
be a substantial improvem ent over the e xisting de vel opment, both
functionally a nd aesth etically. It is suggested that the Plan-
n ing Commission recomm end approval of this Ch ange of Development
Plar. (in corporating th e Staff's rec ommend atio ns) with tb! f ollow-
in g co nditions:
A. Building l ocati on, dimensions, s etbacks, and
arc hitecture shall be s ubstantially as show n
on the approved Devel opme nt Flan.
B. Fe nces an d la ndscaping shall be subst anti ally
as shown on the approved Devel opment Pla n a nd
as required by the Use P ermit.
The "Richfield" sign shall be as sh ow n on the
appro ved Development Plan. Othe r signs shall
be limite d to tho se proposed in the applicatio n.

AGENDA ITEM IV.
Applicatio n of Marti n J. Sw eeney, Helen M.
Swee ney a nd the Main Hotel C orporation to
change th e P -C District Development Plans
(Planned Commu nity:Gas oline Service Stati on)
applying to p roperty at 699 San Ant oni o Ave-
nu e and 4176 Middlefield Road. (68-ZC-6)
The Plan nin g Officer requ este d the record to show that the Notice of
Pu blic Hearin g had bee n published and mailed as required by the Zoning
Ordinance, that the eviden ce of publication a nd Certificate of Mailing
w ere on file, and that the report of the Pl anning Officer had been
mailed to the applican t an d Commissio ners, was availabl e at the en-
trance, an d was made part of the re cord by reference.
The Plann in g Officer reviewed his report of April 19 which rec ommended
approv al of -the application. He commended Richfield C omp any on their
coopera tion in discu ssion s with him and the inclusion of staff sugges-
tion s. He referred to the revise d develo pment plan and pointed to i n-
corpora ted chan ge s in lightin g, plan tin gs, planters, etc. Ur, said he
recognized the ne ed for the station to be no ticed an d identifi ed and
noted its location on an indu strial type street and said he did not,
therefo re, in dica te trees in such a way to o bscure the ir o peratio n.
He said he did wish to de scribe a rather radica l su gge stion of his
which had not be en inco rporated into the plan . In wo rkin g with the
normal turn ing pa ttern of au tos to the lube bays, par kin g are a and
pumps in this particular site, he said he fou nd that auto s did not
tra vel ov er a portion of the blac ktop. He suggested that it co uld
make a big difference in the aesthetic impact of the station if they
dev eloped an islan d with a tree, such as a pine tree, in the middle of
the asphalt are a. He said he person ally like d the idea a nd thought it
would make for a rather nice feature over the pro sa ic type of dev elop-
ment. He r ecogn ized this might ca use a haza rd and said he did not know
whether any gas station ha d do ne this or would be willin g to accept
such a euggestion.
Chairma n Stro mquist declared the pu blic hearing o pen.
S. F. Van Kirk, real estate representative of Richfield Division of
Atlantic Richfield Co mpan y, spoke on beha lf of the a pplic an t. He -said
the Lo s An geles office had agreed to compliance "with ju st abo ut eve ry-
thing with the ex ception of the radical tree. " He explained the prob-
tem of trees blocking o ut the identity of the bu ildin g in a ddition to
the hazard to pedestrian s and traffic moving in an d ou t. He tho ught
this would be the mo st beautiful station in Pa lo Alto an d added that
it wa s the most expensive service station in their 1968 budget.
Commissioner Giosso asked for c larifica tion of the us e of the trash
area and how this would be hidden from v iew in that on o ne of the pla ns
it did not seem to be en tirely roofed.
yf !i(i{Ej --

4-24-68
Mr. Van Kirk said the trash bin area w as used for w aste towels, tires,
empty oil cans a nd so f orth to be picked up weekly. He was sure the
tr ash area would be hidden from view .
No one else wishi ng to speak, Chairman Stromquist decl ared the p ublic
hea ring closed.
Co mmissioner Gordon expressed concern for pr otecting the abutting
a partment dwellers from the spill light a nd view and s aid th at while
she appr eciated efforts th us far it would be desirable to have more
screening trees in the neighborh ood of 20-25 feet in h eight i ncl uding
evergree n tree planting to affo rd such protection as well as to alle-
v iate the la rge expanse of asphalt. She supported the Planning Offi-
cer's suggestio n of a tree isla nd and suggested another c onceivable
spot out of the line of traffic to cast sh ad ows and softe n the c orner
of the bu ildin g.
Commissioner Gio sso felt that in a l ot of this size with the existing
turning ra dius such a planting would create s h az ard.
Commissioner Brenner repeated the concern for screening the trash area
from view of the a partmen ts.
Cha irman Stromquist a ske d Mr. Van Kirk for further clarific ation since
in o ne plan there see med to be an o penin g betwee n the wall and the r oof
ex posing the riew from abov e.
Mr. Va n Kirk said that he did not have en gineering det ail but assum ed
this may have occ urred due to the placement of the building to locate
lube bays in the ba ck. He said he was willing to commit the compa ny
to co verir, the tra sh area and pro tectin g it fro m view of the apartme nt
dev elopments.
During discussion s as to how t.: in corporate suggestion s into the de velop-
men t pla n, the Plannin g Offic er said it wou ld not be necessary to am end
the plan but to include su ch suggestion s in the minutes or through a
sense motion recordin g their prefer ences so that when the Use Permit is
a pplied for he will have the items of specific co ncern be fo re him.
SENSE MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Commissione r Giosso moved a sense
motion that trees be plan ted alo ng the so utherly and we ster ly property
lines. Co mmissioner Austin secon ded the motio n a nd it carried un ani-
mously.
MOTION AND SECOND: Co mmissio ner Giosso moved to adopt a re so lution re-
c ommending approv al of the applicatio n. Co mmissio ner Austin said he
wou ld secon d the motion if it contained the suggestion s discussed.
Chairman Stromqu ist explained that the reso lution coupled with the
