From: Jonathan Lait Recommendation Staff recommends the Planning and Transportation Commission (PTC) provide feedback on the progress of the Cubberley Master Plan, including draft conceptual site layout and circulation. Background The Cubberley Community Center is located on a 35-acre site in south Palo Alto that was previously home to Cubberley High School until 1979. Of the 35 acres, the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD) owns 27 acres and the City of Palo Alto owns 8 acres. The City leases PAUSD’s 27 acres and operates the community center on the combined 35-acre site. The lease has since been amended multiple times and the current amendment will expire in December 2019. The lease amendment includes a condition that the City and PAUSD will jointly develop a master plan for the entire site by December 31, 2019. A Cubberley Citizens Advisory Committee (CCAC) representing a cross-section of Cubberley tenants, city-wide neighborhoods, schools and city-wide representatives, and other relevant organizations, was formed in 2012 to cooperatively explore all practical joint uses of the Cubberley campus for both educational and community service needs. The result of the CCAC process was the recommendation that the site be designed for shared City/School District use and for the City and the School District to work cooperatively toward a phased development to support both school and community needs. The final report of the CCAC can be found at http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/33455. On March 9, 2016, the Palo Alto City Manager and PAUSD Superintendent signed a Cubberley Futures Compact to demonstrate the commitment between the City and the School District to collaboratively plan for the future of the 35-acre Cubberley site. City and PAUSD staff began City of Palo Alto Planning & Community Environment Department Page 2 working together on a scope of work and request for proposals for professional services to assist with the master planning effort and community engagement. A professional services agreement with Concordia, LLC was approved by City Council on June 18, 2018 to assist with engaging the community to develop a vision and master plan and for the 35-acre site. The City and PAUSD are sharing equally in the cost of the master planning effort. On December 17, 2018 City Council approved the addition of the adjacent PAUSD properties Greendell School and 525 San Antonio Road to the project area and scope of the master plan, increasing the project area by 7.7 acres. Support to include these two properties into the study area for the master plan was expressed by community members who attended the first two community meetings, as well as members of the Parks and Recreation Commission. Members of the City-School Liaison Committee also showed support for inclusion of these two properties at their November 15, 2018 meeting. The addition of Greendell School and 525 San Antonio Road into the master plan area provides a wider distribution of programs and services for educational and community use. The project area is shown in Attachment A. The June 18th and December 17th City Council Staff Reports can be found at: https://cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/65435 https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?t=63453.06&BlobID=68173 Discussion The Cubberley community co-design process began with two community meetings at the Cubberley Pavilion on September 27, 2018 and November 1, 2018. At these meetings and with assistance from a team of community “fellows”, participants engaged in activities that would help define additional or expanded programs to complement the existing uses at Cubberley and allow for a future school at the site. Participants also engaged in activities designed to understand the community’s preferences and tolerances toward building height, parking and amount of green space using existing zoning limitations as a guide. Participants expressed a tolerance for 2-3 story buildings and preferred underground parking to maximize the site for green space. Results of the first two meetings including program recommendations, preferred building height and site layout, and future shared uses is presented in the Cubberley Co-design Program Document (Attachment B). The full document is available on the project website at: https://www.pausd.org/sites/default/files/Cubberley%20Program%20Document_final.pdf The third community meeting on January 24th used a draft massing (building shape, form and size) and program organization model to begin conversations around site circulation, program layout, and aesthetics. The model was developed from the community input received during the first two meetings. The model is a working concept for discussion to plan and organize the array of recommended educational and community uses that exist and were City of Palo Alto Planning & Community Environment Department Page 3 recommended. The model also provides an opportunity to analyze site circulation and potential phasing. The first two activities asked a series of questions related to site layout, program organization and adjacencies, and site circulation and parking. The final activity was to understand the architectural and landscape style preferences of meeting participants. The activity sheets used for this meeting are included as Attachment C. Results of the third community meeting will be included in the staff presentation to the Planning and Transportation Commission. All project information and deliverables are available on the project website at www.pausd.org/cubberleycodesign. Resource Impact There are no resource impacts at this time. The costs for the Cubberley Master Plan are funded through the Cubberley Community Center Master Plan Project (CB-16001). Next Steps A City Council Study Session to provide feedback on the Cubberley Master Plan effort will occur on Monday February 11th followed by a PAUSD Board of Education study session on February 12th. The Parks and Recreation Commission provided input on the co-design progress at their January 22, 2019 meeting. Feedback and input received from the community, City Council, Board of Education, PTC, and Parks and Recreation Commission will help inform the next phase of plan development. The project team has been discussing the conceptual plan with staff from several City departments, including Public Works, Transportation and Planning. Additionally, Concordia has hired a transportation subconsultant (Fehr & Peers) and will hire a sustainability subconsultant to provide technical expertise and design guidance. All the information gathered will be used to develop a draft master plan, which will include several conceptual design alternatives, cost estimates, and phasing scenarios. The fourth and final community co-design meeting to present the draft master plan will be May 9, 2019. A joint City Council/PAUSD Board of Education study session will be scheduled in spring/summer 2019 to review the draft master plan. Environmental Review Preparation of a master plan is considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A CEQA document will be completed for the master plan by an environmental planning consultant as part of the master plan process. CEQA review will be completed before City Council takes action on a final master plan.

Organic Native Landscaping Warm Cool Hardscape Orthogonal Planning & Transportation Commission Staff Report (ID # 9973) Report Type: Action Items Meeting Date: 2/13/2019 City of Palo Alto Planning & Community Environment 250 Hamilton Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94301 (650) 329-2442 Summary Title: Comprehensive Plan Annual Report Title: Planning and Transportation Commission Annual Review and of the Comprehensive Plan, Inclusive of the Housing Element, and Possible Recommendation on any Changes or Additions to the Plan. From: Jonathan Lait RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning and Transportation Commission (PTC): 1. Review this report and all attachments before recommending it for City Council’s review and ultimate submission to the State of California’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1, 2019, BACKGROUND In accordance with State Law 65400 and Palo Alto’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan, staff has prepared the City’s first annual Comprehensive Plan Progress Report for the calendar year 2018. Although adopted on a different cycle, the Housing Element is considered a key component of the Comprehensive Plan and is therefore included in this progress report. As the 2030 Comprehensive Plan was just adopted a little over a year ago, staff is not anticipating any edits to the Comprehensive Plan itself at this time. This report provides an update on the following two critical Comprehensive Plan documents: 1. 2030 Comprehensive Plan Implementation Plan 2. 2015-2023 Housing Element This staff report provides a general summary of progress towards the programs and goals set forth in each of these documents. It also includes two attachments with detailed tables to allow City of Palo Alto Planning & Community Environment Department Page 2 staff and local and state officials to track the progress of individual programs and goals, as needed. 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The 2030 Comprehensive Plan Implementation Plan adopted in November 2017 contains 57 pages of programs attributed to approximately 15 different “lead agencies or departments.” These programs are meant to be implemented over the course of the Comprehensive Plan’s life, or approximately 12 years. Since the Comprehensive Plan was only adopted a little more than a year ago, a number of programs have not yet been completed. However, many projects have been initiated and a handful completed. The Implementation Plan categorizes each identified program based on priority. Chapter 9 of the Comprehensive Plan defines these categories as follows. Please see page 212 of the Comprehensive Plan for greater detail. • R: “Routine” activities that are part of the normal course of business for staff • IP: “In progress” – programs that were already underway to complete a specific, defined work effort at the time of the Comprehensive Plan’s adoption • S: “Short-term” – programs planned for implementation within the first five years after Comprehensive Plan adoption • M: “Medium-term” – typically means programs that would be implemented or completed roughly within five to ten years after Comprehensive Plan adoption • L: “Long-term” – programs that would be implemented or completed more than ten years after Comprehensive Plan adoption While it is not uncommon for priorities to shift over time depending on resource availability, almost all of the Implementation Plan’s routine programs were successfully initiated in 2018 along with a number of short-term programs. Many other short-term and even some medium- term programs were also partially completed. As expected, though, very few long-term programs were partially or fully completed. Attachment A of this report includes a table that lists the seven of the eight Plan elements and its programs. 1. Land Use 2. Transportation 3. Natural Environment City of Palo Alto Planning & Community Environment Department Page 3 4. Safety 5. Community Services and Facilities 6. Business and Economics 7. Governance Progress made towards the implementation of the Housing Element, the eighth element of the Comprehensive Plan, is included in a separate attachment that is available online1: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=68942 The Housing Element’s update is addressed separately from the other seven elements of the Comprehensive Plan because it must meet different State reporting requirements than the other elements. In Attachment A, the progress towards each program is identified in the “status” column of each table. The priority of each program is identified in the “priority” column of each table. The key for the “priority” column is noted below. C = Complete, PC = Partially Complete, O = Ongoing, P = Pending, 2015-2023 HOUSING ELEMENT The City is required to prepare an Annual Progress Report (APR) per Government Code Section 65400 on its progress and program status in implementing its housing element. There are three components of the APR: 1) Total number of net housing units produced or “permitted” by the City in a calendar year; 2) Status on jurisdiction’s progress in addressing its (RHNA); 3) Status in the implementation of the 2015-2023 Housing Element’s programs and goals. The APR must be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research by April 1 of each year. The City will need to submit its 2018 APR by April 1, 2019. The City permitted a total of net 54 dwelling units over 2018 in the above moderate (market rate) income category. The Housing Element is one of the mandatory elements which must be included in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Housing Element provides goals, policies and actions that help the City plan for the housing needs for all segments of the City’s population. Housing Element law 1 This attachment is too large to print in a reasonable size and maintain readability. City of Palo Alto Planning & Community Environment Department Page 4 mandates that local governments adequately plan to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community. The City is required to update its Housing Element per State Housing Element Law every eight years. The City’s current Housing Element for the period of 2015-2023 was adopted on November 10, 2014 and was certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on January 20, 2015. The Housing Element can be found at the link provided here: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/37935. The Housing Element covers five key areas: 1) Analysis of existing needs, including the number of people living in substandard or overcrowded housing, people paying more for their homes than they can sustainably afford, people with special housing needs, and affordable units at risk of converting to market rate. 2) Analysis of projected needs, including the allocation of income-specific housing needs developed by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). 3) A site inventory where housing development is allowed, as well as supported by infrastructure and the environment. 4) Analysis of government controls on housing development. 5) Programs, policies and objectives that the City will adopt to assist the development of housing for different income and special needs groups, ensure equal housing opportunity, and preserve and improve the existing housing stock. Figure 1 below provides a summary of the main Housing Element components. Figure 1: Housing Element Components City of Palo Alto Planning & Community Environment Department Page 5 Importantly, the State requires the annual progress report to describe the City’s progress in meeting its fair share of Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) efforts to preserve, rehabilitate or produce housing. As part of the RHNA process overseen by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), the City of Palo Alto was assigned a quantified goal of 1,988 units, which represents the City’s “fair share” of projected housing need for the 2015-2023 planning period, distributed among the following income groups: very low (345 units), low (346 units), moderate (278 units) and above moderate (587 units) income categories. See Table 1 below for the RHNA breakdown by income group.

Table 3 below has a summary of the status of those programs of the Housing Element. Of the 72 programs listed in the Housing Element, 31 are ongoing programs, 24 of those have been completed, 12 are underway and 5 programs have not yet been completed. The 12 programs underway is part of the second City of Palo Alto Planning & Community Environment Department Page 6 phase of the City’s Housing Work Plan, that is subject to Council’s approval. While the five programs that have not yet been completed require further Council’s direction. Table 3.

Many of the provisions in the housing package became effective on January 1, 2018. Because of the passage of the 2017 Housing Package, there are now additional housing element reporting requirements. Per SB 35 and AB 879, annual reporting requirements are now applicable to charter cities. Prior to the passage of AB 879, charter cities were not required to submit the APR, although the City did submit the APR on an annual basis. In addition, local jurisdictions are now required to hold a public hearing and accept public comment regarding the APR. The Draft 2018 APR will be presented to Council at a public hearing on March 4, 2019. City of Palo Alto Planning & Community Environment Department Page 8 In addition, Senate Bill (SB 35) and Assembly Bill (AB 72), encourages cities to meet its RHNA housing production goals. Assembly Bill 72 requires that the State (HCD), review local governments’ general plans and actions on housing proposals for compliance with State law and allows HCD to report violations to the California Office of Attorney General. While SB 35 requires cities that have not met their housing production goals to approve multifamily projects in a ministerial, streamlining approval process. Together, AB 72 and SB 35 reinforces the notion that the City must produce its fair share of affordable housing production or risk loss of local land control and/or HCD has the option to revoke approved Housing Element and report violations to the Attorney General. Annually, HCD will use data reported by the City’s APR to determine if it is subject to the new SB 35 streamlining requirements. HCD will determine and release a list of cities subject to the SB 35 in approximately June 2019 after APR are due. If cities have met their prorated lower and above-moderate RHNA for the reporting period, the city would not be subject to SB 35. For cities that have not met their lower income RHNA, the City would be subject to 50% affordability--developer must provide at least 50% of its total units to lower income persons-- can invoke the streamlining approval process. However, if a city has not met their lower income and above moderate (market rate) RHNA production, the developer can invoke the streamlining process for a lesser affordable percentage—the total percentage of affordable units decreases to 10%. The developer would need to provide 10% of its total units to lower income to invoke the streamlining process. In both cases, lower income is deed restricted not to exceed 80% of area median income. In the above Table 2, the City has not made progress towards its lower RHNA but met its above moderate RHNA. It is therefore anticipated that Palo Alto will continue to be subject to the 50% affordability streamlining provisions. The City is half way through its Housing Element and has produced 52% of its above moderate goal. Due to the State requirements of housing production, the Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury has suggested to create a RHNA subregion for the next RHNA cycle. Given the many constraints of housing production in the Bay Area and to also increase collaborative countywide efforts, the City anticipates joining the formation of a countywide RHNA sub region. As part of the RHNA process, cities can join a subregion to conduct an allocation process for RHNA. This will enable cities to meet its RHNA goals for all income levels and additional collaboration and cooperation on a countywide level to ensure a fair share of housing production.

Two examples include the Citizen Corps Service Award and collaboration with the Canopy to host the Mayor's Tree Planting and Awards Ceremony. The City Clerk also hosts an annual event to recognize the contributions of those serving on boards and commissions. Likewise, the library along with the Friends of the Palo Alto Library hosts an annual volunteer appreciation event. The City Council also issues proclamations to honor individuals and organizations who make significant contributions to public life in Palo Alto. Lastly, OES (with support of CMO) hosts an annual recognition event for OES volunteers and other community partners. G4.1.3 Coordinate with the Palo Alto Unified School District to develop classroom-based leadership, governance and civic participation programs.
