The study was performed to identify the variable building height and floor area ratios necessary to accommodate the potential room count and conferencing facilities for a proposed hotel at the Page Mill/El Camino Real intersection. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the City Council consider the massing model studies prepared for a potential hotel development at the E1 Camino Real / Page Mill intersection, and to provide comment on various aspects of the study; building mass, hotel room count, conferencing needs, and building height. Should the City Council support the Planning Commission recommendation to consider a Hotel / High Density Multiple family designation on the property for purposes of preparing the draft Comprehensive Plan and Environmental Impact Report, it is staff’s intention to return to the City Council with a recommendation regarding alternatives to complete the analyses for hotel use. Such alternatives could include the preparation of the necessary economic / market and environmental studies to support hotel use within the context of the existing Comprehensive Plan update or in parallel to that effort. CMR:181:96 Page 1 of 7 POLICY IMPLICATIONS The intent of the massing model study was to assist the City Council in evaluating the appropriateness of the land use change from a site planning and design perspective only.. At present, the subject site is designated for High Density Residential in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. If a change in the Comprehensive Plan designation from high-density residential to hotel use is not considered for future study, or if none of the development scenarios is considered acceptable by the City Council, staff need not proceed. If, however, there are one or more development scenarios which may meet both the needs and design sensitivity of the community, Chamber of Commerce, and Stanford University, the City Council ultimately has the option of directing staff to prepare the information necessary to consider the site for the changes necessary for future hotel development on the subject site. This may include preparation of Comprehensive Plan and zoning changes, and supporting environmental documentation, including an in-depth traffic study and economic/market analysis for a change in use from high density residential to hotel. If the Council f’mds that the massing model study has identified potentially viable hotel alternatives, and the City Council were to authorize staff in the future to proceed with the necessary studies to prepare the site for future hotel development, the City (with Stanford University support and concurrence) would initiate and bear the up-from costs for those studies. Stanford has agreed to reimburse the City upon completion of the studies and final City Council action, should approval be granted. Should the Council request staff to report back on the required studies, staff would also investigate legal mechanisms available to obligate Stanford for the attendant costs. If hotel development were to be realized, there would initially be out-of-pocket expenditures to the City, but with eventual reimbursement in one or two years as development occurs. Although Stanford University strongly supports the City proceeding with a hotel designation at Page Mill and E1 Camino Real, the University does not wish to initiate such a process. The University is currently involved in a major application process to extend Sand Hill Road and to develop the Stanford West project. Both applications require extensive time and community outreach, and Stanford staff is concerned that any other application process would deter these efforts. In addition, during the City’s Comprehensive Plan Update, many development applications and certainly any unusual ones, such as a major new hotel, fall within a policy arena that is not yet defined. The City, acting as applicant, can coordinate these efforts more efficiently and with broader community perspective than the University acting as applicant. Key to any proposal to further study hotel use at on the Page Mill/El Camino Real site is the issue of integration with the overall Comprehensive Plan update process. If the hotel analyses were to proceed, potential land use and related traffic scenarios within the general intersection area must be incorporated in the hotel traffic analysis. Secondly, consideration of alternative CMR:181:96 Page 2 of 7 housing sites for any change in land use at Page Mill / E1 Camino Real from residential to another use would remain an integral part of the City’s overall Comprehensive Plan objectives. The timing and coordination of these efforts with the on-going Comprehensive Plan update is important. The results of the massing model study can be utilized within the context of the present Comprehensive Plan Update, or a more specific analysis that is conducted in parallel with the update could be initiated. If a parallel study were to proceed and was eventually approved by the City Council, it could result in a two to three year time savings in recruiting a new hotel for the site. The hotel market slump experienced in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s has ended, and staff has received numerous requests from hoteliers to participate in any Request for Proposal (RFP) initiated by Stanford University for a hotel on the site. (See the enclosed March 3, 1996 San Francisco Chronicle article on hotels.) A parallel path of analyses for hotel development could allow for more targeted studies than that permitted within the Comprehensive Plan update process. Specific needs for hotel room and conferencing facilities can be identified, as well as an analysis of both fiscal/economic impacts and alternative site availability for hotel use within the City. Finally, traffic mitigation at the Page Mill/E1 Camino Real intersection necessary for any set of development scenarios can be identified early on in the process, which can set the stage for defining improvement obligations for future development, if any, within all four quadrants of the intersection. The potential benefits of an in-depth Page Mill/El Camino Real traffic analysis early on in the planning process are great; costs of improvements to the private sector and right-of-way dedication for traffic improvements, if shown as necessary, can be explicitly identified and allocated proportionately among new developments as they occur. Alternatively, proceeding with a parallel path could have fiscal ramifications. If the City does not ultimately approve a hotel use on the subject site or if hotel development is not feasible, the costs associated with the supporting studies would not necessarily be subject to reimbursement. Alternatively, app.roval for hotel use, if ultimately deemed appropriate and environmentally sound, could generate revenues (estimated to be $958,000 per year) that would more than offset the costs of hotel site readiness. (See CMR:269:94 of May 4, 1994 on hotel revenues anticipated for a 350-room facility.) DISCUSSION Massing Model Study Hill-Glazier Architects have extensive experience in designing international resorts and hotels, restaurants, conference centers, specialty stores, and commercial and office buildings. CMR:181:96 Page 3 of 7 In addition to numerous and prestigious national and international awards, the firm has received wide acclaim for its sensitivity to historic traditions, the natural environment, and aesthetic concerns in each project’s community. The architects have generated four different scenarios, ranging in number of rooms from 300 to 400 and in conferencing space from 15,000 square feet to 20,000 square feet. The scenarios assume different parking, height, and Floor Area Ratio (FAR) requirements. Included below are basic site characteristics, a summary of each scenario, and brief comments. Based on Hill-Glazier’s experience and the technical knowledge of the architects, staff considers scenarios B and C to be most suitable for the particular site. All scenarios are based on the following: Lot size: 5.88 acres (256,369 square feet) Parking ratio: 1:1.25 Size of right turn declaration lane: 12’ x 100’ Parking setbacks for El Camino Real: 15’ Parking setbacks for Page Mill: 50’ Building setbacks for E1 Camino: 90’ Building setbacks for Page Mill: 140’ Scenario A Height FAR Total hotel square footage Landscaped area Scenario B 85’ 1.08 Scenario C 100’ 1.1 Floors Rooms Conference Area Largest Conference Room 221,275 34% 4 300 15,000 8,140 257,200 32% 7 350 18,300 9,900 270,0O0 31% Two portions of building: 4 and 9 stories each 350 20,000 10,100 Scenario D 100’ 1.25 311,000 36% 9 400 20,000 12,100 CMR:181:96 Page 4 of 7 Comments Scenario A: the hotel will be a short, block-like building much smaller than surrounding structures. Its smaller size results in the ground floor’s ceiling height being limited to 10 - 12’ (i.e., a floor to floor height of 14’), where preferred ceiling heights are 12 - 14’. This poses problems for the guest rooms and the conference facility in terms of installing and maintaining the structure’s mechanical systems relating to ducting, lighting, and plumbing. Scenario B: The hotel, with a building height of 85’, manages to retain a relatively small appearance vis-a-vis surrounding structures while overcoming some of the shortcomings of scenario A. The number of rooms and conferencing facility size is increased, and the floor to floor height of 16’ creates adequate space to install and maintain mechanical systems. Scenario C: This proposal includes a 100’ high-rise, with a four story and a nine story portion, thereby blending with the surrounding architecture (Wilson Sonsini as well as Palo Alto Square). The ARB and the City Council are provided with two options regarding the configuration of the buildings and the orientation towards E1 Camino Real and Page Mill Road. As expressed by the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce’s Hotel Subcommittee, with respect to the number of rooms and the conferencing space, scenario C is best suited to meet the spatial needs of the community. Scenario D: With a height of 100’, the building in scenario D will be a high rise of the same height, but with greater building bulk than scenario C. The 400 rooms require a significant number of parking spaces and will include 20,700 square feet of above grade parking. Traffic Issues The Page Mill/E1 Camino Real intersection currently operates at a level of service (LOS) D. Increased traffic at that intersection, particularly peak hour traffic, is undesirable. Intersection flow has actually improved, however, from the 1985 LOS of E-. While new or additional development within the overall area could worsen conditions at that intersection, there are offsetting traffic issues that are occurring. Due to the unique traffic characteristics of hotel use, the change from high-density residential to hotel / conferencing at the Page Mill intersection is not expected to have major impacts on the level of service of the Page Mill / E1 Camino Real intersection. Actual traffic counts conducted by hotel managers are significantly lower than projected counts noted by traffic engineers. The Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual suggests 8.7 trips / room / day, which is then modified based on the specific aspects of each hotel. Such trip generation is based CMR:181:96 Page 5 of 7 on additive uses, and generally reflects the greatest traffic impact associated with hotels. Such projections are based on all types of hotels, including "roadside hotels," that may not have guest oriented, on-site conferencing facilities, shuttle services,-or public transportation. For example, traffic counts given to staff from the management of two Peninsula hotels that are similar to the conceptual proposals for this site range from 2.5 - 3.0 trips / room / day, including the use of on-site conferencing and restaurant facilities. It should be noted that hotels typically do not generate a significant amount of traffic during peak commute hours. A majority of the guests return before 5:00 PM and hotel employees generally work in three off-peak shifts. In addition, there are a number of visitors to the University and the Research Park that require hotel accommodations. Due to a shortage of hotel room availability, many stay outside Palo Alto, traveling through the city on a daily basis. A hotel located in close proximity to the Research Park and the University may help to decrease the number of trips made from outside the city. The kinds of"high-end" housing units being developed in Palo Alto may tend to generate more trips per household than suggested even by the ITE manual, in that each unit is generally associated with multiple vehicles and may result in higher trip generation than ITE estimates indicate. Traffic issues related to these and alternative uses must be carefully studied to determine specific impacts, mitigation measures, and the trade-offs associated with future development within the intersection area. An important assumption in any future studies should be the understanding that significant intersection improvements, such as an urban interchange or undergrounding of either Page Mill or E1 Camino Real, are not reasonable environmental or economic alternatives. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL Subsequent to Council review of the massing model study by Hill-Glazier Architects and selection of appropriate scenarios, if any, the next step is to identify the comprehensive planning, zoning, and development review processes necessary to proceed. These include consideration of a land use change from high density residential to hotel, and a review of the potential traffic, environmental, and economic impacts of the land use change. Ultimately, the land use change and application of development review processes for the site would entail extensive public hearings. It is anticipated that the costs incurred by the City, should a hotel development ultimately proceed on the property, would be reimbursable.

The new survey noted that the region’s properties are the most expensive in the West. The selling price per hotel room is estimated he West Coast hotel industry has risen hke a phoenix from the ash- es of a moribund real estate market, with property values reaching -- and in some instances surpassing -- those of the late 1980s. And Bay Area hotels appear to be leading the charge, which be- to have climbed I1 percent in 1995 compared with a 4 percent rise the previous year. Col- liers’ report also forecasted a 12 percent jump in room values this year. Overall, Northern California hotel values are approaching 1987’s peak price of $126,000 per room on average. The market% remarkable rebound from its low point in 1992 is due both to an up- swing in the economy, which has fueled more leisure and business travel, and to the fact that no new hotels have been built for sever- al years. "Most (travelers) are going places, paying higher room rates. (Last year) was the best year in history for hotel industry across the country," said Richard Alter, managing di- rector of Los Angeles-based Financia! Capi- tal Investment Co. Bob Eaton, a Collie~ vice presider aid: "N~w the economics have been bolstered enough and there’s been. .~ew supply for the last five years. We’ve come back to an equilibrium we had nine years ago." Bay Area hoteliers have been rejoicing about the rebounding values. ~We’re pleased with the trend and hope it continues," said Tom LaTour, president of the Kimpton Group, the San Francisco-based boutique hotel firm that.purchased the old Bellevue Hotel on Geary Street in 1994 for $5 million and reopened it last June as the Hotel Monaco. The recession, overbuilding during the ’80s and the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989 together dealt a serious blow to the Bay Area hotel industry, driving down oc- cupancy rates and room rates, which made it nearly impossible for owners to pay down development costs, the Colliers re- port stated. As a result, hotel values hit rock bottom in 1992 -- just three years . after their peak -- plummeting by nearly 30 percent on average in nost West Coast metropolitan at- The dismal property values cut off future investment and forced many owners to foreclose or take huge losses, selling their hotels at half the development costs. For example, industry observers said that in 1993, when hotel values were still lagging, the Days Inn at the San Francisco International Airport sold to a private partner- ship for about $6 million, or $30,000 per room. Last year, the hotel sold again to Columbus, Ohio-based Red Roof Inn for about $9.5 milh’on, or $47,500 per room. Red Roof would not comment on the sale price but said each room would be valued at about $50,000 after renovations. The Bay Area’s resuscitation began in 1994, when a number of properties started changing hands, industry expert~ said. Over the past two years, at least 20 Bay Area properties have found new owners and more transactions are cegudn to follow. EX/~AIN EP, q~ARK COSTt~NTINI Lisa Impagllazzo is general manager of the Marriott Fisherman’s Wharf, which was pur- chased by Marriott International for $25 million, $97,000 per room, in 1994. Hotels are busier these days, too, with a stronger economy al- lowing tourists and businesspeople to travel again. As a result, Bay Area hotel occupancy levels rose to 73 percent in 1995, a 3 percent increase over the previous year, ac- cording to statistics generated by PKF Consulting, a hotel market research firm. These occupancy increases, in turn, have allowed hoteliers to raise nightly room rates, from $88 on average in 1994 to $92 last year. But investors also know the ho- tel gravy train won’t last forever. "If you were a perfect genius, you would have started buying two years agoP to get thebest hotel deals, said Alter of Financial Capi- tal Investment Co., which helped Chinese investors purchase the Pleasanton Hilton at the Club last month. Although Alter wouldn’t comment on the sale price, sources put the price tag for the 296-room property at $22 million. "The window of opportunity is going to last another 12 months," Alter said. "Cal£fornia and Hawaii are at the bottom of the cycle on valuations. Most opportune invest- ments in other states have been done. It’s last in, last out," regard. ing the effects of the recession. "It’s not like the stock market where value fluctuations change overnight," said Louis Stervinou, associate director of Colliers, who noted that hotel real estate cycles last at least six months. Suzarme Mellen, managing di- rector of the San Francisco office of hotel consultants HVS Interna- tional, had this analysis: "There’s a lot of money chasing hotels now. Companies realize they have to control the assets, not just manage them. ~so, a lot of international investors are looking (for hotel properties) as well as pension funds and hotel REITS (invest- ment trusts). Securitized debt is returning to the market." Despite rising hotel values, Pa- cific Rim investors most likely will become prominent players here again. "Relatively speaking, every- thing in San Francisco is still ex- pensive, but relatively inexpensive to Asia," said Financial Capital’s Alter. Some savvy Bay Area investors knew it would only be a matter of time before the hotel industry bounced back. ¯ Chip Conley, president of San Francisco-based Joie De Vivre Ho- tels, which owns and manages 11 boutique hotels in The City, put. chased the 94-room Orchard Hotel on Sutter Street for $6.29 million in September. Conley is currently negotiating for a Union Square boutique property. Colliers’ Eaton said many hotels that have minimized their ex- penses for the past several years stand to make greater profits be- cause they can charge higher room rates. "Now you’ve got increased reve- nue and a leaner machine," he said. "Hotels will be excellent invest- ment vehicles in the near term." And while rising hotel values are making investors happy, them may also be benefits for guests, like bet- ter customer service. Conley said he was able to hire a senior concierge last year to train his concierge staff. In the past, "hotels looked to save money," he said. "Now we can preserve and enhance our staffing."
