City of Palo Alto, Board and Commission Application
Planning and Transportation Commission
Supplemental Questionnaire
Susan L. Fineberg
4. What is it about the Planning & Transportation Commission that interests you? What qualities,
experience and expertise would you bring tcJ the Planning Commission?
I would like to continue my service on the Planning and Transportation Commission so I can
help the City develop a vision of what Palo Alto will look like in 10-20 years, and beyond.
There are several major issues that the City continues to confront relating to housing growth,
economic vitality, infrastructure adequacy, and the impacts of these on our natural and built
environment. I would like to be a part of finding solutions that will make Palo Alto a better
place for us and future generations.
My world view has been shaped by my exposure to planned communities as a child growing up
in Greenbelt, MD and as an adult vacationing in Rosemary Beach, FL. This exposure gives me
an understanding of how planning the growth of housing, commercial, transportation, networks
of sidewalks and bike paths, schools, open-spaces, libraries, and public gathering spaces can
contribute to the quality of life. The amenities that accompany properly planned growth blunt the
impact of increased density and enhance the built environment.
The experience and institutional memory that I have gained in my four years of service on the
Planning Commission means that I am familiar with the public hearing process, the City's
Comprehensive Plan, Municipal Code, policies, and protocols. I am able to distill the essential
information from large volumes of materials, analyze the data, and see the details in context of
the big picture.
In addition to a keen understanding of the benefits of town planning, I also bring a strong set of
analytical skills and policy planning experience. These are skills that I have honed in both my
professional career and volunteer experiences. I am aware of the issues and concerns expressed
by members of our community. I also have the proven ability to work well with others in
collaborative and deliberative processes.

City of Palo Alto, Board and Commission Application
Planning and Transportation Commission
Supplemental Questionnaire
Susan L. Fineberg
5. How would you see your role as board member when recommending policy and working with
the Council? If it were necessary to change current roles, how would you approach making such
changes?
When recommending policy and working with Council, it is a great honor and responsibility, to
represent all the constituents of Palo Alto. My role is to learn, ask questions, distill the
infonnation available, and comply with pertinent codes and ordinances to craft recommendations
for policies and decisions.
If it were necessary to change current roles, then I would first need to understand what was
driving the need for change. After learning more about what the goals are, and how other
comparable cities handle similar issues, I would only then consider how to make such changes.
Change can be good, but it can also be unsettling and can cause harm if it is done without due
diligence.
6. What are the current issues facing the Planning & Transportation Commission?
The biggest issue facing the Planning & Transportation Commission is the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment. In particular, the Housing Element Update and our response to the Regional
Housing Needs Mandate will greatly impact Palo Alto over the next decade.
There will be significant projects coming forward that will have wider community impacts like
the Rail Corridor Study, California Avenue Streetscape Improvements,. Downtown Parking
Studies, VTA Bus Rapid Transit, Safe Routes to School Program, Phase 2 of Charleston
Arastradero Corridor Improvements, 27 University Avenue/TheaterWorks, and a new Public
Safety Building.
The Planning & Transportation Commission will recommend how the City can balance the need
for housing (affordability, size, and location) while maintaining the features that provide us with
the quality of life that we desire. These include quality schools, open-spaces, libraries, public
safety, environmental stewardship, and sound fiscal policy and management.
The Planning & Transportation Commission will continue to respond to priorities set by Council
on issues such as environmental stewardship, land-use and transportation, and improved
communication via the "Planning & Transportation Commission Report to Council".

7. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Planning & Transportation
Commission achieve?
I would like to help the Planning & Transportation Commission achieve the following goals:
• Finish the Comprehensive Plan Update: articulate a vision of what Palo Alto will look like in
10-20 years, and beyond.
• Focus on maintaining quality oflife, which includes environmental stewardship and finding
ways to grow the city without compromising those qualities.
• Work with City Staff to fmd ways to engage the public and increase public participation at
various stages of project planning and policy formulation.
• Continue to improve communication between the Planning & Transportation Commission
and Council so the Planning & Transportation Commission can identify and communicate
emerging trends, which would facilitate pro-active planning by Council.
The City continues to face some tough choices about growth, housing, transportation, public
facilities, and infrastructure. The Comprehensive Plan is the primary tool for guiding the future
development of the City. I would like to help finish this update. I would like to help build a
better community, to protect the environment, to provide diverse and affordable housing
opportunities, to rebuild infrastructure, and to enhance the economic vitality of Palo Alto.
Thank you!

3. Describe your involvement in community activities, volunteer and civic organizations:
I am involved in the San Francisco chapter of ULI (Urban Land Institute), particularly within the Young Leaders Group.
ULI's mission is to provide leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities
worldwide. This is achieved by providing pragmatic land use expertise and education to the public and private sector.
I am currently fulfilling my first term as a member of the San Francisco Board of Directors of the JCRC (Jewish
Community Relations Council) and serve on the Legislative Affairs Committee.
I am an active member of the San Francisco Young Leadership Development Program of AI PAC (American Israel PubliC
Affairs Committee).
I am an active participant in community improvement organizations such as Rebuilding Together SF and Oakland, which
mobilize teams of volunteers to revitalize low income neighborhoods by repairing homes and renovating schools.
4. What is it about the Planning & Transportation Commission that interests you? What qualities, experience and
expertise would you bring to the Planning & Transportation Commission?
The Commission Is responsible for making recommendations to the Council on Issues related to dlMllopmsnt. zoning and transportation, all of which are of
tramsndous importance to the success and vibrancy of Palo Alto. This Is a significant responslbllHy and one that I believe I am I equipped to lake on and eager to
get involved with.
As an attomay, I have experience with understanding codes and ordinances and distinguishing between instancas where tha letter of the law leaves no room for
Interpretation on a matter and where the language is wrillen in such a way as to permit discretion. I also can appreciate that thera may be insiances the
Commission will be presan\&d with a proposed code amendmsnt which requires not just a review and analysis of how \he amendment would all'ect an Individual
project but \he broadar community. In managing litigation for years, I have experience in mediating between conftlcllng parties to reach a mutually beneficial
resolution when possible. Altha same tima, I understand that fi is not alwayS posslbla and I am comfortable making decisions that reaolve matters one Wf!I/ or the other. .
As a real estate professional with an MBA, I u(lClerstand \he implications that a Commission's decisions haw on future development and how important our buslnass community is to the vibrancy of the greater c:ommunity. I have familiarity with addressing subclvision Issues, variance reques1s, and topography
challenges \hat are Involvad In building. I also appreciate \ha value of promoting c:ontinully in planning decisions to encourage and maintain the charaCler and
quality of existing neillhborhoods. At the sams time, I think Ingenuity in planning and embracing new design Ideas is not inconsistent with that effort. Finally, I
have a particular Intarest In encouraging ngreen" design and conatniction that tries to minimize the ecological footprint of a project.

5. How would you see your role as board member when recommending policy and working with the Council? Ifit
were necessary to change current roles, how would you approach making such changes?
As a commissioner I would hope to delve deep into the issues before the Commission to enable me to advise the Council on matters
related to land use, land development and transportation in Palo Alto with the ultimate goal of being able to assess the current and
future needs of Palo Alto and provide the mechanisms to see that those Identified needs are met and to insure that the Council
protects and enhances the physical character ofthe City.
As a commission member, I think one has to have a passion for his or her community and a willingness to develop an in-depth
understanding of the planning code In order to effectively consider how decisions before iIIe commission will affect the community. A
commission member must work closely with city planners to understand their recommendations at the same time being respectful
and eager to leam the opinions expressed by residents and fellow Commissioners at public hearings. Regularly, I presume, a
commission member must be willing to make difficult choices that will satisfy some, but not all, in the community.
When recommendations are then referred to the Council, my hope would be that the CommiSSion will have clearly articulated its
rationale for a decision that provides clarity and conSistency to the CounCil as well as members of the community.
6. What are the current issues facing the Planning & Transportation Commission?
I understand that some. of the specific matters coming before the Commission include:
(1) the safety and access of the rail corridor,
(2) pedestrian and bicycle transportation,
(3) the Draft Housing Element, and,
(4) the Valley Transit Authority's Bus Rapid Transit project for EI Camino Real.
Broader issues that the Commission faces, among others, include investigating and making
recommendations to the City Council regarding reasonable and practical means for implementing the
general plan or elements of the general plan, so that it will serve as an effective guide for the orderly
growth and development, preservation and conservation of open space and natural resources, and the
,efficient expenditure of public funds relating to the subjects addressed in the general plan.
7. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Planning & Transportation Commission achieve?
I am excited for the Commission to further the Council's goal of renewal with respect to the City's infrastructure. As someone
who grew up in this area, now that I have moved back to make my home here in Palo Alto with my wife and daughter, I am
very interested in the effort to revitalize Palo Alto's infrastructure and further insure that the City remains a wonderful place to
live and work in for many years to come.
I am interested in seeing the Commission further the growth, popularity and safety of "green" transportation solutions so that
a greater number of our residents and daily visitors can easily access the City in a variety of efficient ways.
I am also interested in encouraging ways to make our public spaces more accessible and inviting t6 the broadest range of
our community as well as encouraging green design and development.
Finally, I would like to help further Palo Alto's status as a global center for innovative employers by working creatively to
solve traffic and congestion issues that might threaten this status.

s. Describe your involvement in community activities, volunteer and civic organizations:
From the Fall of 2007 to Jan 20~9,. I served on the Palo Alto
Parks , Recreation Commissi.on.r.Iwas-.~il1-vol:u:edin the
commissi~n's activities, particularly with the analysis and
development of the new fields allocation system.
6. What is it about the Infras1ructure . .Blue Ribbon Commission that interests you? What qualities, experience and
expertise would You b~ to the Jnftastructure Blue Ribbon Commission?
I am interested in theIBRC because I recognize the enormous
problem that our fine city faces, and I think that I can help.
My experience with PARC and the fields allqcation problem will ,
allow me to hit the ground running. My experience as a financial
analYSlt with HP, where I did both capital and operational budgeting, .
and experience as a startup CEO, where we have to make difficul~
choices about ·~here we spend limited resources, will also be valuable.
7. How would you see your role 88 board member when recommending policy and working with the Council? If it
were necessary to change current roles, how would you approach making such changes?
One of my strengths is the ability to visualize alternative solutions.
Too often, people get stuck between two options. But if we invest the
time to seek alternatives, we often can come up with better options
Also, I can serve as "devil's advocate" and.argue a position that
I don't believe, which can help us anticipate and prepare for any
objections to recommendations.
I am prepared to serve at the pleasure and discretion of the CoUncil,
so I will serve in whatever role and capacity that the Council wishes.

City of Palo Alto
Planning and Transportation Commission application
Submitted by Sunny Dykwel, 4/25/2012
List relevant training and experience, certificates of training, licenses, or
professional registration. Describe your involvement in community activities,
volunteer and civic organizations:
1. Serving on the Parks and Recreation Commission afforded me unique
experience working with the Council, other Commissions and staff and
frequent opportunity to hear and address public comments and
stakeholders' concerns. Through that experience, I also gained a
comprehensive understanding of our community services, facilities and
natural environment (elements of the Comprehensive Plan).
2. Serving on the Project Safety Net and Developmental Assets committees
allows me to work with youth and families and various community
groups-building community and supporting the Council's priority of youth
well-being.
3. Having served on the PTA Council and as PARC liaison to the City/school
liaison committee helped me understand the interrelationships of growth,
housing and traffic and their impacts on our schools and city services and
facilities, and the ways Council and PAUSD board work together. As a result
of this experience, I have insights about the successes of that working
relationship and opportunities to improve/expand
cooperation/coordination.
4. My real estate profession and work with the Chamber of Commerce
broaden my knowledge of the changing demographics, zoning, housing
and the business environment (important elements of the Comp Plan).

What is it about the PTC that interests you? What qualities, experience and
expertise would you bring to the PTC?
I have a strong interest in our community, and serving on the PTC will allow me to
play an active role in shaping the future of Palo Alto by engaging the community,
broadening the PTC communication with the public, and getting community input
on the most important document to be adopted by the City: the Comprehensive
Plan.
I have 20 years experience as a volunteer, Realtor, and Palo Alto resident.
I have an informed perspective on and knowledge of the city's housing and
demographics, as well as an understanding of the necessity of a balance between
the needs of the business community and the neighborhoods.
Because of my extensive professional and volunteer experience in this
community, I have a unique insight into community building and public outreach.
I have a proven record of passion and dedication to this community and would
like to support and be part of the important work of the PTC.
How would you see your role as board member/commissioner when
recommending policy and working with the Council? If it were necessary to
change current roles, how would you approach making such changes?
My role is to be the keeper of the Comp Plan, to ensure that new developments
and planning and transportation projects serve the purposes of the Comp Plan, to
review amendments to the Comp Plan and projects that propose changes to
zoning, and to provide policy advice to the Council.
What are the current issues facing the PTC?
1. Completing the Comp Plan update
2. PTC policies and procedures
3. RHNA and the Housing Element
4. California Avenue Transit Hub Corridor Streetscape Improvements
5. Palo Alto Rail Corridor Study

Complete the Comp Plan update. See above.
The PTC Mandate. Update with more emphasis on long range planning and less
on tentative maps, site and design. Focus on projects that have a larger impact on
the community.
Improve communication between the Council and the PTe. Increase the number
of joint sessions from 1 to 3 per year and create a report to Council similar to the
Planning Dept. in a monthly report. Better presentation to Council on items that
have been reviewed by the PTC, even if it requires more than 5 minutes to
present.
Facilitate communication between the PTC and other Commissions/Boards when
appropriate for the coordinated study of certain issues; e.g. Bicycle and
Pedestrian Transportation Plan Update.
Broaden communication with the public and get them engaged.

Dear City of Palo Alto City Council Members:
Greetings!
This is your potential new Committee Member of the Planning and Transportation Commission.
I apologize for not being able to present to you on June 26. But I am doing a much bigger task for the City of
Palo Alto.
I will be representing the high tech community of Palo Alto to give a KeyNote Speech to the German .
Government annual VC & Entrepreneur Conference, their High-Tech Grtlnderfonds Annual Event.
It is a big deal because instead of having their own German speaker at their own show, they are inviting an
Asian American from Palo Alto, to tell them about Silicon Valley.
\ Every week I have foreign high tech visitors touring Palo Alto University Ave and buying up houses here in
Palo Alto.
How do we deal with this surge and growth in our City? If you look at the Real Estate bidding process near .
Gunn High, what recession? New home owners are bidding $250K more to the list price of a house.
Since we understand the growth issues and also feel the pain of our traffic jain, we need to learn from other·
successful smaller cities (Singapore, Macau & Hongkong) to deal with the happy problem of civilized growth.
If I were given the .opportunity to serve, I will bring forth my global experience and my past successful track
record of being a Serial Entrepreneur, Venture Investor & Stanford University. Mentor to this community.
Please grant me a chance to meet with you upon my business trip in Europe, after July 4th. I am grateful and
will deliver excellent results.
Attached is my BIO and also please google me to fmd out more of my community service.
I work for the famed Apple Evangelist Guy Kawasaki in Garage.com , and we bring growth to startups.
Have a very nice day!
