Plan Land Use Map by Changing the Land Use Designation for 1237 San Antonio
Road from "Public Conservation Land" (CL) to “Major Institution Special

R E C I T A L S
A. The City and LifeMoves Inc. have received funding from the California Department of
Housing and Community Development Homekey Program to develop an interim shelter

Greenwaste, is relocating to another portion of the site, which has historically been used
for storage and staging.

Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation Public Conservation Land (CL).
D. In order to better align the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation with the past,
present, and future uses of the site, the City desires to amend the Land Use Designation
to “Major Institution Special Facilities” (MISP).
E. The Planning and Transportation Commission, after a duly noticed public hearing on
September 14, 2022, recommended that the City Council amend the Land Use Map of the
City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan as set forth below.
F. The City Council considered said recommendation after a duly noticed public hearing held
on December 19, 2022, and now desires to amend the Land Use Map as set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Palo Alto RESOLVES as follows:
