Summary Title: Roth Building Lease Option Extension
Title: Status Update and Discussion of the Roth Building Rehabilitation, 300
Homer Avenue; Recommendation to Approve a One–Year Extension of the
Option to Lease the Roth Building Between the City of Palo Alto and the Palo
Alto History Museum
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Administrative Services
RECOMMENDATION
Staff provides this update regarding fundraising and planning for rehabilitation of the Roth
Building at 300 Homer Avenue, and requests that Council approve the following
recommendations:
1) Discuss the status of the Roth Building rehabilitation and provide any direction to
staff; and
2) Approve a one year extension of the Option to Lease the Roth Building between City
of Palo Alto and the Palo Alto History Museum.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Over the past ten years, the Palo Alto History Museum (PAHM) has engaged in various
strategies and activities to raise funds from private and public sources to undertake a seismic
and historical rehabilitation of the Roth Building and to operate a historical museum at this
location.
After several past presentations to Council requesting public funding, on December 15, 2015,
City Council passed a motion instructing staff to identify $1.0 million to fund rehabilitation costs
for the Roth building. All potential sources were examined and staff recommends that the
Budget Stabilization be drawn down to provide the $1.0 million. The Museum representatives
asserted that with this contribution and the sale of Transportation Development Rights (TDRs),
further fundraising would gain traction.
Prior to this action, Council approved the designation of the Roth Building as a “Sender Site” in
the TDRs program. The TDRs were put to bid and sold. This raised $2.88 million. On June 29,
City of Palo Alto Page 2
2015, the Council approved a budget amendment in the capital improvement to establish a
Roth Building rehabilitation reserve in the fund in the amount of $3.88 million.
PAHM has hired a new executive director with strong local ties to the City to spearhead the
fund raising efforts. As of now the total amount raised by PAHM including the City and TDR
funding, new pledges, restricted and unrestricted donations since the beginning of the year
stands at $5.7 million. PAHM continues to work on fundraising, and has an expectation of other
donations in the very near future.
The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Architectural Plan Review for the historical Museum
expired at the end of December of 2014. PAHM applied again for City’s customary planning
reviews to update the expired Condition Use Permit (CUP) and was granted approval on
February 18, 2016 which was effective until March 3, 2017. City granted a one-time extension
pursuant to Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) Ch.18.77.090 to extend the approved entitlement
to March 3, 2018. The proposed project will be resubmitted (ARB) in November of 2017 for final
review regarding landscaping and some minor changes. Once ARB has given its final approval,
PAHM can apply for the building permit.
The Option to Lease between the City and PAHM will expire on December 31, 2017. It will need
to be extended to allow for the museum project to move forward. Staff requests that Council
review and approve the History Museum’s request (Attachment A) for another one year
extension of the option to lease agreement on the Roth building to allow PAHM to continue its
fund raising effort to reach $9.2 million that is needed to cover the cost of the rehabilitation of
the building. Including the City contribution of $4.3 million the total raised by PAHM is $5.7
million.
BACKGROUND
Background information on the development of the Roth Building since the City’s acquisition in
April 2000 is extensive. Since 2007, Museum personnel and City staff have examined a variety
of proposals to fund the capital and operating needs of the Roth Building historical museum.
Additional background information can be found by referring to CMRs: 2197, 2891, 4703, 5365
5551 and 5879.
In April 2000, the City Council approved the $1,957,000 purchase of the Roth Building and its
0.41 acre site for potential development as a “public facility or alternative use if a public facility
is not feasible,” in conjunction with the South of Forest Avenue Coordinated Area Plan (SOFA
CAP). The Palo Alto Historical Museum (PAHM) proposed project is to renovate the existing
19,059 square feet building and add 582 square feet to the existing square feet (Attachment B)
to the Roth Building. This would accommodate: a basement egress stairway; additional first
floor level area for additional gallery space; new second floor space for exhibits and archives;
and add space at roof level to have an open roof area (Attachment C). For an additional
detailed description of rehabilitation plans, please note Report to Historical Resource Board &
Architectural Review Board (ARB) on February 16, & 17, 2011.
City of Palo Alto Page 3
In 2014, The Museum board hired a professional executive director, Myron Freedman to
explore strategic alternatives and direction and to raise funds for the museum. An experienced
executive director with a strong career in history museums statewide, Myron brought a new
vision to the project, expanding on what it means to be a museum in the modern age, and--by
defining possible exhibit scenarios to develop what the new Palo Alto History Museum would
become. New board members joined the team to help advance the cause. Today (2017), City
historian Steve Staiger and Beth Bunnenberg from the beginning of the project remain active
on the board. Currently there are eleven board members of whom seven have joined the Board
in last three to four years. In April of 2017, executive director Myron Freedman left to take the
helm of Nevada State Museum. The board appointed its development director Laura Bajuk to
take his place. She is a seasoned executive director and a long-time Palo Alto resident with
extensive experience in history museums in Los Gatos and Los Altos, and is bringing new energy
and ideas to PAHM. The goal is to strengthen the Museum in order to make it financially stable,
well-governed, programming effectively, and engaging actively in the community. According to
Laura Bajuk, today, the best history museums are centers of heritage. They are places where
people gather: for fellowship, as safe places to study after school, or meet friends. On exhibits,
the visitors see their many, diverse, stories told from various points of view and they see
themselves making history come alive, and relevant. “Inspired learning” happens in museums –
education that is personal, unique to each visitor, and enriching for all ages and abilities. In
short, museums build community.
The PAHM board (eleven members) has gained a better understanding of these principles. In
the past two years, the Board and community stakeholders participated in a design summit at
Stanford’s Design School which followed a board retreat featuring design-thinking. A branding
workshop led by Katherine Wurzburg educated the board on conveying key messages, bringing
their diverse approaches to sharper focus.
Due to rising construction costs, the funding goal for rehabilitation of the Roth Building has
increased dramatically, from about $6 million in 2005 to $9.2 million today. PAHM is also
working to raise an additional $10.2 million in order to subsequently provide a top-quality
museum experience, adding state-of-the-art exhibits and collections and archives care, among
other museum fittings. Operations funds were also added to the goal, to insure that the new
museum will have access to resources to hire professional staff and develop new exhibits.
DISCUSSION
City Activity on Funding
Over the past few meetings between the Historical Museum and the City Council, the Council
directed staff to take two actions to support the capital needs for the Roth Building: 1) the sale
of TDRs and 2) the identification of $1.0 million from available City resources. Staff has
completed these assignments.
City of Palo Alto Page 4
Since the Roth Building has historical designation, staff followed the provisions for eligible City-
owned buildings to participate in the TDR program as outlined in Chapters 18.18.080 and
18.28.060 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC). The program allows a Category 2 resource,
(the Roth Building) to be eligible as a “sender site” for a 9,592 square foot floor area bonus.
City staff prepared and issued a request for bids (RFB) to market the Roth Building TDRs on
Monday April 20th 2015 and closed the bidding on Tuesday May 5, 2015. The minimum price set
was $200 per square foot and the highest bid received was for $300.25 per square foot. This
resulted in a sale for $2.88 million. The proceeds of the sale in funds totaling $2.88 million were
deposited in a special fund to be used toward the rehabilitation of the Roth Building. The funds
plus interest earnings will be eligible for release in increments when PAHM has fulfilled its fund
raising goal for the construction phase of the project from other potential sources.
In addition to the sale of TDRs, staff identified $1.0 million in funding for Roth Building capital
costs. All potential sources were examined and the Budget Stabilization was drawn down to
provide the $1.0 million. Historical Museum representatives asserted that with this contribution
and the sale of Transportation Development Rights (TDRs), further fundraising would gain
traction
PAHM Activity on Funding
PAHM has focused on moving this project forward by raising funds from private donors and
applying for grants from various sources. Under the direction of Laura Bajuk, PAHM has been
developing new strategies for fundraising and for program development at the Museum. A
summary on the fund raising update and capital budget for Roth Building renovation can be
found in following table. The projected capital cost is $9.2 million. The TDR sale and $1.0
million previously funded from the GF Budget Stabilization Reserve provides $3.88 million of
capital funds. PAHM has spent an additional $600,000 on initial Capital project investment
(architectural, arborist, City and contractor fees, not shown in the table).

TIMELINE
Staff will return to Council in the future with periodic updates, In the meantime, the Palo Alto
Historical Museum will continue its effort for fund raising until it is ready to exercise its option
to enter into lease with City for Roth Building and to begin the rehabilitation of the Roth
Building. Under the term of the option, the staff must verify that all funds are available to start
and complete the rehabilitation of the Building.
RESOURCE IMPACT
TDRs from the Roth Building sold for $2.88 million, plus an additional $1.0 million is available
for Roth Building capital costs. This totals to $3.88 million in resources. These funds plus
interest earned and library impact fee will be released in increments upon receipt of invoices
for capital costs incurred for rehabilitation of the Roth Building.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
This recommendation is consistent with existing City policies.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Designation of the Roth Building site as an eligible TDR “sender” site is Categorically Exempt
from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review under CEQA guidelines section 15305,
Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitation. The rehabilitation project is Categorically Exempt
from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15331, Historical Resource
Restoration/Rehabilitation, as a project limited to maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation in
accordance with the secretary of interior standards for historic preservation.

Dear Jim:
I am pleased to send this letter to gratefully request a one-year extension of the current lease option for
the Roth Building which will expire on December 31, 2017.
We are making progress on our immediate fundraising goal (which was $3.7 million as of our last
communication) to bridge the gap needed to begin construction. We have validated our financial
standing in a six-month financial review while continuing to actively fundraise using both new and
established methods.
Anticipating our appearance at the November 27 Council meeting, we are preparing updated financial
statements, and a summary of our progress to share with staff and Council. Hamid Ghaemmaghami has
been very helpful in advising us on procedure.
We appreciate the City of Palo Alto’s patience as we work to complete our fundraising to start
construction. We have much to build on with our recent funding success in the coming months, and
would greatly appreciate you considering a 12-month extension on our lease option so that we can reach
our goal.
Thank you for continued support and your consideration of our request.
Best regards,
Rich Green
President, Palo Alto History Museum
