I have recently become interested in spending more time on civic engagement, and have been attending City Council meetings and meeting with small community groups to try to educate myself about urban planning issues that impact our community I have spent my career asa data-driven problem solver and concensus-builder.The problems facing Palo Alto Planning and Transportation are primarily those that will be solved through rigorous data-driven analysis and grass-roots concensus building. I am drawn to the issues considered by the PTC because I strongly believe that the planning and transportation decisions that we make directly inipact the well-being of the community. Well-planned cities are bulwarks of opportunity, safety, diversity, vibrancy, and happiness; I am particularly interested in IDM, and its relationship to the "ComprehensivePlan" and the Downtown Cap Study--I believe that all of these items are closely linked, and need to be considered as a system. My interest stems from the notion that Palo Alto is currently at a cross-roads: it is.a vibrant college town that I would like to see the drafting and implementation of the planning and transportation elements of the Comprehensive Plan. In particular, I would like to see the committee take a leadership position on overseeing the design of the elements of a IDM and downtown RPP, combined with a new downtown c;ap regulation. I believe that this will be accomplished through a combination of rigorous work with the city staff, and coalition-building with local residents. I have already started working with local community activist leaders (eg., Neilson Buchanan, Adina Levin, and Elaine Uang) from a wide range of viewpoints.

As Palo Alto continues to experience economic and population growth, regulation is paramount to ensure compatibility amongst mixed uses and harmony amongst residents. Having managed real property on behalf of public and private entities for over a decade, I understand the significance of guidelines and their impact on the local economy and neighborhoods. The California A venue Area Concept Plan is of interest to me as it encompasses both economic and urban development. Strengthening business districts while preserving and building residential and mixed uses with public and private transportation accessibility and pedestrian and bicyclist connectivity, is a challenging and intricate process as it pertains to, and possibly amending, current zoning codes and building requirements. Public input is essential to open government. I would like to see the Planning and Transportation Commission continue its work to promote this concept, as it is vital to the success of the governmental process.

Member and Secretary As a member of the community for over 12 years and as an architect with over 20 years of experience, my personal and professionalUves are closely intertwined with the development, progress and quality of the built environment in Palo Alto. In the course of my career, I have designed, managed, and collaborated on projects involving a broad range of building types, including civic, educational, residential, commercial, non-profit, and institutional facilities -some of which are local and have gone through PTC review. I have led many projects through all phases of project development -from programming, conceptual design, and construction documents through construction administration -and feel that I can utilize that experience in my duties on the Commission. As a volunteer on the Planning and Transportation CommisSion, I would be personally committed to shepherding the planning process in evaluating future projects for compliance with city plans and guidelines in the best interest of our community. I look forward to working closely with fellow commission volunteers to achieve these goals. Being involved in the proposed new construction at 636 Waverley, I had first-hand dealings with the controversial hot button issues of design compatibility with the Immediate built environment and with parking. Both of these were resolved successfully through the city process. Developing clear guidelines for both of these issues will help to calm the controversy and will also set the direction that our community takes in the future. As an advocate of a successful, progressive and vibrant community, I look forward to being part of the process that evaluates land use development, and to collect and analyze developmental data in order to fine-tune a policy for the future of transportation, density and design that supports a city worthy of Palo Alto's stimulating and dynamic reputation.

I grew up very familiar with the works of Picasso, ! Chagall,Miro, Noguchi and others in Chicago. Art in public places calls for us to think differently, and calls , for dialogue and discussion. Relocating from SF to Palo Alto in 2007, 1 have become a fan of some pieces \ and have been less enthusiastic about others. but feel we are lucky to have art here as a vibrant part of the city. The : adoption of the 1% for art policy is the beginning of an exciting period here and I would like to be part of the team !I think that the I % for art decision is an interesting issue in that it provides a new funding model (that has iworked well in other places) at a time when municipal funding is tight, and when we're seeing a lively !debate in the city about conversion of properties to higher density/higher $ value per square foot. While the !Cominission and the city wiD attract critics about the use of funds (public funds for art always does), the long ; ! I would like to work toward engag~ng a mix of artists in projects that would increase broad-base of support : and enthusiasm for public art and optimizing the communications to ensure the smoothest landing for, i projects in the community.

For many artists the idea of placing a piece for a year and then • needing to find a new home for it is, a challenge.
