Describe yom involvement in community activities, volunreer and civic organizations: I am involved in the San Francisco chapter of ULI (Urban Land Institute), particularly within the Young Laaders Group. ULl'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 AIPAC (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.

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 board 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 and building code in order to effectively consider how decisions before the ARB will affect the community. A board member must work closely with city planners to understand their recommendations at the same time being respectful and eager to learn the opinions expre_ by residents and fellow Board Members at public hearings. Regularly, I presume, a Board Member must be willing to make difficult choices tilat will satisfy some, but not all, in the community. When recommendations are then referred to the Council, my hope would be that the ARB will have clearly articulated Its retionale 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 Architectural. Review Board? I Understand that some of the specific matters coming before the ARB include: (1) the Edgewood Plaza Project, (2) the VMWare Campus development on the former Roche Site, (3) the Stanford Shopping Center modification plan, and (4) a number of other proposed projects including a four story mixed use development on Birch Street, an eight story hospitality project on Hamilton Avenue, and a residential project on Hawthorne, among others. Broader issues that the ARB faces include: (1) providing encouragement in green design and.construction that balances development and preselVation goals, as well as, . (~) ensuring that residents and developers feel that the ARB promotes continuity in the community and clarity in reaching those goals. 7. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Architectural Review Board achieve? I would like to see the Architectural Review Board continue to promote the orderly and harmonious development of the City while encouraging preservation of the most desirable uses of land and improvements. Hopefully, this can be accomplished while at the same time stimulating green design by evaluating design proposals and variance requests with an eye to how the development arid changes affect (if at all) the environment. I would also like to encourage the preservation of the natural landscape insofar as practical and promote development that includes landscaping that is generous and inviting.

The teams went head-to-head May 9 in the boardroom of Bank of America's San Francisco offices, presenting their projects to a panel C)f housing industry professionals that included project managers from non-profit developers, advocacy and trade organi­ zations, tax-credit investors, lenders and architects. For their first-place finish, Bank of America will contribute $1,000 in the UC Davis team's name to a community develop­ ment nonprofit of their choice. It was UC Davis' first entry in the competition for several years and the first time a Graduate School of Management team has won. ·We were all completely shocked, we felt like we were the underdogs going in: said second-year MBA student Amy Barr.

Alumni Chris Glaudel '96, Mercy's vice president of asset management, and Paul Ainger '84, a senior project developer there. worked closely with the students. Assodate Professor Katrina Ellis and Assistant Professor Greta Hsu also advised the students, who began the proposal in January and lc:>gged hundreds of hours that culminated. in a comprehensive 132-page plan. Designed with Silver standard LEED-certification in mind, The Gateway calls for three towers with 160 single occupancy units supported by ground-floor retail, a mental health agency, a community kitchen, computer lab and job placement services. A version of the project will very likely become a reality.

What qualities, experience and expertise would 'you bring to the Architectural Review Board? I am Interested in helping serve the community through policy affecting architecture, urbanism, and design. In my opinion, design choices impact building users and the community at large. I have very strong convictions about the need to support flourishing city centers. I believe that my experience with building and public space projects of different scales in very different urban contexts is a contribution to the board. I am committed to improving communities through good design. Bds/Commissions -702-23 8/31/2011 5. How would you see your role as board member when recommending policy and working with the Council? If it were necessary tocbange current roles, bow would you apPf.08Ch ~ such changes? . I would see my rore on the board as a professional who is helping to ensure that projects are contributing to our community through using good design, activating street frontage, and adding uses that are beneficial to the City. I believe that all opinions should be voiced,but that the board should consult and act as a team whose mandate is to help provide Palo Alto with a built environment that is sound architecturally, environmentally, financially and socially. 6. What are the CUl'l'eDt issues ~ the Architectmal Review Board? I believe that one of the fUnctions of the board is to act as a "filter" which ensures that the built environment benefits inhabitants and users and offers a safe, interesting, and. vibrant place to live, work, and SOCialize. I believe that some of the current issues involve commercial and multi-family renovations, new builds on under-used or infill sites and how these will impact the future direction of Palo Alto. I would imagine that there are environmental, programmatiC, and contextual issues that the board is engaged with. The Board also deals with providing an overall vision and trajectory for . design and building use for Palo Alto. . 7. If ~~ what specific goaIs would you like to see the Archi1ectural Review Board achieve? I would like to see the support of building growth within certain areas (such as downtown or specific "growth corridors") and the continuing emphasis on environmentally responsible building. In this vein, I believe that educating the community at large about sustainability in regards to architecture and urban development could be an ongoing goal for the ARB. I would also encourage the building of more residential facilities so as to better manage the demand for housing, as well as support increased building heights in an effort to curb commercial sprawl. I. would try to encourage designs that take advantage of northern California's climate in the use of materials and spaces. I would also like to see even more emphasis on bikable and walkable areas.

What is it about the Architectural Review Board that interests you? What qualities, experience and expertise would you bring to the Architectural Review Board? I am an experienced local architect ~nd builder. I have worked on residential and commerCial projects In Palo Alto and surrounding areas, and understand the deSign review process well Having seOled on other local design review hoards, I understand the technical review process, respect and appreciate the need for careful and open deliberations that are transparent to the community, and am able to balance the desires of applicants for Quick and straightforward approvals with long term goal of the community for orderly and harmonious development of the built eli vii 01 II lIelit. . 5. How would you see your role as board member when recommending policy and working with the Council? If it were necessary to chan~e current roles, how would you approach making such changes? ARB members serve to provide professional guidance to elected council members. ro provide effective gUidance, ARB members must work cooperatively With each other to reach c.onsens'ls I have no Interest In changing roles with the City Council. 6. What are the current issues facing the ArchitectUral Review Board? The ARB must continue to provide prompt and clear guidance to applicants seeking to bUild In Palo Alto. While not compromising on overall deSign qualitY, approvals C.oliid sometimes he granted more rapidly by keeping the ARB fOCI'S on lar:ger sc.ale issues. There Is some community concern regarding the overall 'Modernist' design sensibility of much new construction in palo Alto approved by the ARB. Better community outreach could educate the community about the architectural issues and decisions fach 19 Palo Alto. 7. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Architectural Review Board achieve? While I enjoy and appreciate· many of the newer, well-designed contemporary projects in town, as do most local alXlhitec;:ts, it lRigbt be valuable to solicit OOlRlRURity iRPUt OR the oll~r:all desigR directioR of Raw de''eloplReRt WitI:I this input, the board might be able to take large scale community preferences into account Additionally, the process might provide a vaillabia means for explaining and educating the merits of new projects to the communi1¥ at la~e A simple on-line image and community blog of an upcoming project that has already been approved (aka "Coming· soon"), together with an architects statement and ARB input would provide a valuable means of receiving general community input and education. The project could be changed quarterly and could likely be done using architect provided images, etc to reduce Staff time. Please note that I am not advocating fOr a mass design review process, nor seeking broader public involvement in individual approvals. Rather, most people are simply curious about upcomlng.aevelopmentS, ana sucn a posting would generate communitY Interest and Input.

Describe your involvement in COIDIIlUDity activities, volunteer and civic organimtioos: I currently volunteer on the Architectural RevIew Board (1.5 tenns). I wrtte articles, regarding cJevekipment projects tot the Old Mountain VIeW Neighborhood Association's newsletter. I·atlend forums on the Grand Boulevard Initiative. I have studied the EI Camino Real corridQr with ,.Iocal architect and an urban designer. I researched and Illustrated preliminary drawings for the Dream Team charrette for the University Aven~ transit station. I organize bicycle rides for Western Wheelers, a Palo Alto cycling club, including $P8Cia1 tours to historical sites on the peninsula •. , have also serv8ci as a board member. I help design cyc:Ung jerseys for a century ride thatparlly·benefits the Silicon Valley Bicycle CoaIJIIon. The ride also partners with POST and organic farms·along the coast to promote open space and sustainable agriculture. I also occasIona1ly lead atchitectural walking tours of Stanford for Golden Gate Top of the Hill Gang, a·1oca1 hiking and skiing dub. ' 4. Whit is it ~ the Arcbitecbnl Review Board tbat mtOrests you? What qualities, experi.ce·and expertise . ·would you bring to 1he Arcbitecbnl Review Board? I am imerested in ensuring high quality design. that Is compatible with the city. This is a ' challenging task in this, era Where some architects try to stand out with exuberant designs and others succumb to the ubiquitous design standards of national brands and chains; I believe that well-designed places are greater th8n the sum of their individual parts. Many area of PalO Alto have succ8eded at this, so it is critical that new developments fit in with their surroundings. I can visualiZe the relationship between infrastructure, urban design. architecb.ti'e, and landscape. I am experienced at·designing a wide variety of projects. including gardens, houses, multifamily housing, mixed-use transit villages, and campus urban design, and I know where some pitfalls can happen. Bds/Commissions 702-23 8/31/2011 S. How would you see yOlU' role as bori member·when recommending polley and working with the Council? Ifit were necessary to change current roles, how would you approach making such changes? Most of the time, the Comprehen$ive Plan,sp~c plans, zoning .ordinance, and design guidelines provide thorough policy guidelines and requirement. Sometimes policy issues are raised during ARB meetings. When a pattern emerges, 'the board USlJally adds that item to the agenda to the boards' retreat or joint. meetings with the City Council and/or Planning and Transportation Commission. The planning staff provide insight, data, and recommendations. In addition, I inquire with profes$iOnat colleagues with regards to how other cities handle similar issues. 6. What are the CUl'J.'eIlt issues facing the AIehitectural Review Board? The board should ntview the South EI Camino Design Guidelines, the Planning and Transportation Commission's housing site list, and the existing zoning since many of the , proposEid housing sites are located on EI Camino Real. . The board should have a better framework for reviewing projects that utiliZe California's density bonus for affordable housing. The board should carefully consider compatibility and context. The City Council' disagreed with the board's recommendation for approval on 2 recent, 'large projects (I was the only board member that dissented on both projects). In addition, many members of the public have expressed concern about the design characte~ of several, recent projects. 7. If appoilited, what specific goals would you like to see the Architectunll Review Board achieve? More community outreach is needed for the development process. A few projects .have generated a lot of publicity, but there are many well designed projects that su~lIy navigated through the approval process. The ARB's web page could include the Design . Awards and highlight other successful projects with respect to both design and process. Flow charts and organization charts In the staff reports could help to Illustrate the approval process. At'a recent retreat, the board discussed with the chair of the Planning and Transportation Commission the roles of both commissions regarding some building types/zoning districts in order to provide a better approval process. The board should continue that disc;uasion and report to the City Council. The Board should review the LEEO NO pilot project with the Planning Staff. The Board should recommend some modifications to the Sign Ordinance as discussed at the 'last two board retreats. . I Would like to see the board review some of the approved projects after they have been constructed. The board did review all approved projects for the 2010 Design Awards. A lot of effort ~ spent selecting the best projects~ but more analysis could happen regarding the projects that were not considered. . '.

What is it about the Architectural Review Board that interests you? What qualities, experience and expertise would you bring to the Architectural Review Board? My unique skill set is the result of a widely varied range of project work, the majority of which has been focused in Palo Alto. My experience includes: Single Family Residential, Multifamily, Mixed-use, Commercial Shell, Commercial Tenant Improvement, Retail, K-12 Educational, and Religious project types. This history has given me an opportunity to educate myself and develop a spectrum of beneficial skills. In addition to becoming well versed in zoning regulations and building code, my experience over the past 21 years has illustrated a particular expertise in working with agency staff, boards and commissions, team members and stakeholders toward quality projects. I thoroughly enjoy the complexities of the work I do and believe I can help others improve their work as well. I am excited aboutthe prospect of being involved in a broader range of projects to help elevate the quality and enhance the character of the built environment in Palo Alto. 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? .. 1 would hope to work with the other members and the Council in open ~iscussion to improve and further develop policy. Listening to others, understanding the basis of concerns or issues and having an opportunity to voice my thoughts or ideas toward refinement of roles or language would be a highly rewarding experience. 6. What are the current issues facing the Architectural Review Board? With a tremendous quantity of construction and planned development occurring there are a number of challenges for the ARB. I believe, as I said earlier, the primary issue for the ARB is to elevate the quality and enhance the character of the built environment in Palo Alto. Helping applicants improve their projects in terms of aesthetics and land use while encouraging variation of character within the context of Palo Alto must continue to be a major focus. Each project must be taken on its own merit and reviewed with a balanced approach and without ideaology. Encouraging pedestrian oriented projects to promote walkability, amplifying goals for sustainability, managing issues related to traffic, housing density/affordability and maintaining the desirability of investment in Palo Alto must all be balanced in consideration of context and situation. 7. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Architectural Review Board achieve? Being an advocate for harmonious and considerate development which enhance$ the built environment, seeking the best land use, improving work/living conditions and creating an expectation for a high aesthetic quality must remain the focus for the ARB. In addition, helping to further improve the review process so the projects being processed are enhanced, from the perspective of all involved, as a result of participating must be a constant consideration. / City of Palo Alto 250 Hamilton Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94301 CONSENT FORM __ I have read and understand my rights under Government Code Section 6254.21.
