TITLE
Historic Resources Board Awards Discussion
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Historic Resources Board (HRB):
1. Discuss the 2025 HRB Awards Program including: timeline; awards categories;
evaluation criteria and process; and how the public can be involved.
2. Review the attached list of 440 projects reviewed in the past 10 Years.
3. Review and recommend amendment language to the HRB By-Laws.
BACKGROUND
On August 8, 2024, at the HRB retreat, Goal #5 was added to the HRB Work Plan to establish a
HRB Awards Program.1 On October 21, 2024, City Council approved the HRB 24/25 Work Plan.2
Following this, the HRB held meetings on November 14, 2024,3 February 13, 2025,4 and March
13, 2025,5 to discuss how to implement a HRB Awards Program.
On March 13, 2025, the HRB directed staff to expand the list of 53 potential eligible projects to
include building permits and staff level reviews in the past 10 years. This increased the number
of projects from the previous 53 to 440 projects (Attachment A).

Staff Report

Item No. 2. Page 2 of 3
which states, “Promote awards programs and other forms of public recognition for exemplary
Historic Preservation projects.”
Purpose
The HRB Awards Program would recognize and express appreciation for the efforts to preserve
and protect Palo Alto’s culturally, historically, and architecturally significant places that create a
vibrant and sustainable community that fully reflects Palo Alto’s diverse past.
DISCUSSION
Timing and Frequency of Awards
The majority of the HRB expressed interest in holding the HRB Awards in May, with the awards
occurring every five years, except for the 2025 HRB Awards, which will take place in 2026.
Evaluation Criteria and Process
The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties outline four
approaches: Preservation, Rehabilitation, Restoration, and Reconstruction. While most historic
award programs focus on rehabilitation projects, since it is the only treatment that allows for
alterations and new additions necessary for a building’s continued or new use, many other
organizations and jurisdictions have broadened their recognition criteria. In addition to
honoring preservation-focused projects, they also celebrate the long-term care and
stewardship of historic properties. These stewardship award categories acknowledge those
who have committed to the ongoing maintenance, stabilization, protection, and care of historic
buildings, often ensuring their survival through continuous family ownership or dedicated
upkeep. The HRB should consider recognizing stewardship to highlight the importance of
sustained, responsible management of historic properties, rather than focusing solely on their
restoration or renovation.
In preparation for the 2025 HRB Awards, staff compiled a list of addresses for the HRB’s
consideration from the past 10 years (Attachment A). This list highlights developments on
properties listed in the City’s Historic Inventory and includes 440 potential projects, ranging
from building permits to larger development proposals subject to Architectural Review Board
approval. Addresses that appear multiple times are highlighted in blue, as are project
descriptions that involve like-for-like work.
HRB By-Laws
To set forth the rules and regulations for the HRB Awards Program, an amendment to the HRB
By-Laws is recommended. The amendment should include an Article detailing the purpose,
criteria, frequency, and location of award ceremony. The HRB may want to utilize flexible
language for criteria and number of awards such as, “Criteria and number of awards shall be
determined by the awarding board.” Staff has prepared draft language (Attachment B).
NEXT STEPS
Staff will finalize the list of qualifying projects, based on feedback received at this meeting. The
finalized project list will then be provided to the HRB based on the process determined for the
2025 awards. At the next scheduled HRB meeting, the board will have the opportunity to
Item 2
Staff Report
Packet Pg. 7
Item No. 2. Page 3 of 3
review the updated project list. To effectively evaluate potential projects, the board should
establish a clear process, including, but not limited to:
1. Amend HRB By-Laws: The HRB can choose to take action to amend its By-Laws with an
Article on the HRB Awards Program.
2. Review Project List: The HRB should review the project list, then decide how to divide it
among board members to review their assigned projects before the next HRB meeting.
In this process, the HRB may choose to remove certain projects such as like for like
replacements or projects that only involved interior work.
3. Define Award Categories: The HRB should consider potential award categories (e.g.,
Small Project, Restoration, Rehabilitation, Adaptive Reuse, Stewardship, etc.) and
determine the number of projects to be awarded. It may also be helpful to set limits for
each category or establish a total number of awards across all categories.

Project Description: A Request by the Castilleja School Foundation to
amend an existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Castilleja School to
provide for increased student enrollment and phased site improvements.
The proposal requests an increase in student enrollment (from the existing
CUP cap of 415 students) to a maximum of 540 students over the course of
a phased implementation plan with increases contingent on strict
transportation demand measures. There will be no change to the amount
of above‐grade floor area that exists on the campus and building coverage
is proposed to be reduced on the site. Publication of the EIR occurred in
July 2019. Final EIR published July 2020. CUP and Variance were reviewed
by the Planning and Transportation Commission in 2020. Council reviewed
the EIR and project in March 2021 and remanded the applications to the
the PTC and ARB. Variance request is associated with replacement of gross
floor area on the existing campus. CUP includes request for the
establishment of on‐site temporary school facilities (modular buildings) on
Spieker Field for use during the construction of Phase 4 (which is the
demolition of four buildings on the current campus parcel and replacement
of the existing above‐grade gross floor area, described in greater detail in
the project submittal).

the previously approved Architectural Review and Historic Resources Board
Review application (21PLN‐00330). The proposed modifications include
reductions to the previously approved onsite parking in accordance with
Assembly Bill 2097 allowances. In addition, the project no longer proposes
the demolition of a portion of the existing building at the rear and the
previously proposed separate trash enclosure would be incorporated into
the rear of the existing building. The outdoor patio along Birch has been
revised to eliminate the covered pavilion addition and instead proposes an
open trellis over the outdoor areas. Zoning District: CC(2)(R)(P).

PUBLIC COMMENT
No requests to speak.
Mr. Switzer provided a slide presentation about the HRB Awards and 24/25 workplan
implementation including discussion from February 13, 2025, timing and frequency, evaluation
criteria and proposed HRB bylaws draft language.
Boardmember Willis mentioned there were a few duplicate projects listed so they were actually looking
at about 27 projects. A couple were category changes. She thought they were looking at a limited list
and they needed to go back and see if some things got lost. She suggested talking to past board
members. She thought they needed to have serious discussion about what they wanted to give awards
to.
Chair Eagleston-Cieslewicz wondered if it would be possible to expand the list for consideration to
structures with historical designations that have had projects even if those projects had not come before
the HRB.
Vice Chair Rohman commented over the last 10 years the HRB had 53 projects that were within the
realm the HRB would need to review. Of those, 75% were nonresidential, commercial or mixed use. Less
than 25% were residential. If the goal of the awards was to create excitement about preservation and
going back to the incentives for preservation, it reaffirmed the idea that the property owners of
commercial buildings saw the benefit in historical designation and preservation and individual
homeowners perhaps did not. Only about 50% of the 40 permits that had come to the HRB were
historical preservation related. About 17 seemed to have had some historical preservation or
restoration mentioned in the description and 4 were duplicates. There were 13 eligible projects she
thought they might want to look into. Eight of those were nonresidential, one commercial, one public
and three residential. She agreed they needed to look to categories three and four and outside the
downtown area to projects the HRB has not necessarily seen.
Boardmember Willis thought they needed to put together a list of options about what kinds of awards
would be considered and bring it back to the Board. She thought 2026 was optimistic for the awards.
She felt they should review the list and possibly expand from projects the HRB had seen.
Chair Eagleston-Cieslewicz was interested in seeing a new list with the other projects for listed
structures and see what expansion that gives them. She invited suggestions from Staff about other ways
to increase the scope of the group.
Mr. Switzer explained what appeared in the list was elevated up to the Board’s level of review. There
were a few planning entitlements and building permits processed at the staff level. He offered to include
that in a subsequent list for the Board’s review to provide a larger number of projects to sift through. He
said it could be accommodated by the next meeting.
Chair Eagleston-Cieslewicz inquired if there were other items for discussion. She thought the frequency
and the general outlines of what they would do to give someone an award were fine.
Item 3
Attachment A - March 13,
2025 Draft HRB Minutes
Packet Pg. 42
City of Palo Alto Page 3
Mr. Switzer suggested having an action item at the next meeting for amending the bylaws. The study
session of the day was to discuss any friendly amendments the Board would like to make for some of
the language detailed. The second section of specifying that criteria for the awards was to have it
flexible. He invited suggestions from the board to be brought forward for an action item at the following
meeting.
Boardmember Willis opined they needed to wait until they looked at the new list and determine what
the preservation awards were going to be.
Vice Chair Rohman agreed with Boardmember Willis adding the two of them needed to review the
additional properties that were on the inventory and had projects that were not reviewed by the HRB.
Chair Eagleston-Cieslewicz indicated for the next time they would look at the list, make modification to
the language and potentially vote on the amendment at the following meeting in May.
Boardmember Willis requested some explanation of what determines whether something is minor or
whether something comes to the board when compiling the list. She had been surprised about things
that were obviously historic being visibly altered but not reviewed by HRB and wanted to hear about
those projects at the meetings.
Mr. Switzer stated he would prepare some language to include in the following packet at the next
meeting to provide some clarity on that. He instructed that the preservation ordinance of the City
(16.49) detailed the qualifiers of the reviewing bodies. That was reserved for what was detailed in the
ordinance of minor alterations. At the decision of the planning director, that constituted anything that
would not adversely affect a historic resource. That was typically reserved for changes or minor
alterations. If they wanted to go further, the review of the Historic Resources Board was for category 1
and 2 resources as well as the structures listed in the preservation district. Categories 3 and 4 were not
subject to review under the ordinance.
Boardmember Pease indicated it would be interesting to see what was coming in and what they were
asking for as background information.
Vice Chair Rohman commented that the reason they were not seeing these projects was because people
did not want to add their homes to the inventory and they did not see categories 3 and 4. She added it
goes back to making changes to the code that other subcommittees are working so they could see
additional projects and have incentives so people want to put their houses on the register. She hoped to
have a slide at the next meeting to present projects the HRB had seen that had actual preservation
actions and ones they had not seen they would recommend.
Boardmember Pease wanted to see the selection process be rank order to help with comparison.
Boardmember Willis asked if she could review the newly compiled list before the next meeting.
Mr. Switzer confirmed the list would go out with the board packet. He believed there was an
opportunity with the ad hoc for this work plan goal item to have some collaboration on this so Staff
could accommodate some discussions on the list.

VOTE: The motion carried by voice vote 4-0-0-1, Ulinskas absent.
Announcements
Chair Eagleston-Cieslewicz reported that workplan goal one was on pause until it was agendized with
Council, which was not anticipated for at least another few months. Council would have to kick it off
because it involved changed to the municipal code.
Mr. Switzer explained that workplan goal 1 was limited modification to the ordinance. It had been a
floating goal of the Board that when that opportunity did arise and they were given direction by Council
to reevaluate this ordinance they would further provide clarification on the HRB's role and solidify some
of questions in the ordinance. The ordinance had not been updated since the 1980s. Directing Staff
resources without Council direction was not advised.
Boardmember Willis queried if it would be productive if the committee came up with changes they
thought were appropriate or highlighting things that they thought were problematic. She asked to be
signed up for item one.
Mr. Switzer thought an ad hoc committee evaluating areas of potential improvements and providing a
list of recommendations to the Board and Staff would be welcomed.
Boardmember Pease gave a slide presentation describing workplan goal 2 including publicly
relevant/available information sources, a site map of the City’s website, a flowchart of possible user
navigation paths, Midpen Media Center, Palo Alto Historical Association, Palo Alto Standford Heritage,
Palo Alto Museum and issues/questions/opportunities.
Vice Chair Rohman discussed workplan goal 3. She had received a spreadsheet with a little over 1,000
properties on the Palo Alto inventory. Her next step would be to figure out the best way to crowdsource
getting the pictures they need to evaluate how the historic structures had or had not changed prior to
the 2023 inventory. She mentioned this to PAST at their board meeting last night and let them know she
would go back to them once she knew more about how they wanted to proceed with this project and
would keep the Board updated. She wanted to make the legwork of taking pictures of the assets on the
inventory a community project. She thought it could also serve getting the word out about preservation.
The assessment of if the structure had changed significantly since it was last evaluated would have to be
done at this body’s level or some very committed volunteers level they were able to talk to and had an
understanding of what qualifies as historically eligible and retains integrity versus what is too far gone.
