APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION FOR VACATION OF PUBLIC SERVICE
EASEMENTS FOR UTILITIES AND ROADWAYS ON QUARRY ROAD,
ARBORETUM ROAD, SAND HILL ROAD, PASTEUR DRIVE, AND NEAR
HOOVER PAVILION; APPROVAL OF RESOLUTIONS TO INITIATE
ANNEXATION PROCEEDINGS FOR LAND ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE
OF SAND HILL ROAD, TWO AREAS ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF
QUARRY ROAD AND THE NEW PASTEUR DRIVE AND ADJACENT
LAND BETWEEN SAND HILL ROAD AND WELCH ROAD
¯REPORT IN BRIEF
This staff report addresses two City Council agenda items.
The first agenda item is adoption of a resolution vacating nine public service easements for
utilities and roadways on Quarry Road from El Camino Real to the intersection with
Arboretum Road; Arboretum Road from Quarry Road to Sand Hill Road; Sand Hill Road
from Arboretum Road to San Francisquito Creek; the abandoned Pasteur Drive from Sand
Hill Road to Welch Road; and a utilities easement for a relocated electric line near Hoover
Pavilion. The primary purpose of the easement vacation is to accommodate the relocation
of public utilities and realignment of the roadways, resulting from the Sand Hill Corridor
development project. Vacation of the easements will be accompanied by City Manager
acceptance of new utility and roadway easements for the entire four-road area including
the new Pasteur Drive..
The second agenda item is initiating the annexation of edge portions of the south side of
the new Sand Hill Road and Quarry Road along with the relocated Pasteur Drive and
adjacent land. The need to have these annexations was identified in the 1997 City Council
approval of the Sand Hill Corridor projects. The annexations are consistent with a Santa
Clara County-policy to avoid jurisdictional lines occurring in road right-of-ways. Four
distinct areas are to be annexed, resulting in recommended adoption of four Resolutions
setting May 6, 2002 as the date for City Council action on the annexations.
CMR:207:02 Page ! of 8
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1.Approve the attached Resolution (Attachment VI) for vacation of public service
easements for utilities and roadways on Quarry Road, Arboretum Road, Sand Hill
Road, Pasteur Drive and a public service easement for utilities near Hoover Pavilion.
2.Approve the attached four annexation Resolutions (Attachments VII., VIII, IX, and X)
initiating annexation proceedings for land along the south side of Sand Hill Road, two
areas along the south side of Quarry Road and the new Pasteur Drive and .adjacent land
between Sand Hill Road and Welch Road.
BACKGROUND
In June 1997, the Council approved the Sand Hill Corridor projects including construction
of apartments and Senior housing, expansion of the Stanford Shopping Center and
modifications to numerous roadways. The roadway portion of the Sand Hill Corridor
projects included, among other work:
¯widening of Sand Hill Road from Arboretum Road to Santa Cruz Avenue,
¯relocation of Pasteur Drive between Welch Road and Sand Hill Road, and
¯widening of Quarry Road from E1 Camino Real to Arboretum Road.
Palo Alto voters approved the Sand Hill Corridor projects through referendum in
November 1997.
The relocation of Pasteur Drive resulted in a new developable area formed by the former
Pasteur Drive right-of-way and adjacent land. The new developable area was designated
Multiple Family Residential in the Comprehensive Plan and pre-zoned to Multiple Family
Residential (RM-40). The median of the relocated portion of Pasteur Drive was
designated Major Institution/Special Facility in the Comprehensive Plan and the road with
the median was pre-zoned Public Facilities with the Landscape Overlay (PF-L).
The widening of Sand Hill Road and Quarry Road resulted in a thin edge portion of the
new roadways located in unincorporated Santa Clara County. The relocation of Pasteur
Drive resulted in the new roadway located in Santa Clara County. Part of the 1997
approval was a Development Agreement approved by the City and the University. One
provision of the Development Agreement was that Stanford would support annexation to
the City of the unincorporated elements of the roadways as well as the new multiple family
area adjacent to the relocated Pasteur Drive.
CMR:207:02 Page 2 of 8
In 1998, as ,the City and the University worked together on planning the construction of
various elements of the Sand Hill Corridor projects, it was concluded that annexation of
the roadway and multiple family areas would be best accomplished at the end of the
construction work. The concern with an earlier annexation was the problem of precisely
locating the edges of future roadways that might, during the construction process, have
minor adjustments. This issue was resolved by the City and Stanford University adopting
agreements for the Sand Hill Road work (approved by the City Council on April 19, 1999)
and for the Pasteur Drive and Quarry Road work (approved by the City Council on
November 15, 1999). The agreements committed the City and the University to seek Santa
Clara County approval to allow road construction in unincorporated areas with annexation
to occur after construction. The County Board of Supervisors, on April 27, 1999 and
December 7, 1999, adopted agreements between the City and the County concurring with
the City/University requests.
All public roadways on Stanford land have .public roadway easements. The 1999
City/University agreements identify the easement wording to be used for land to be added
to Sand Hill Road and Quarry Road and the relocated Pasteur Drive.
in 2000, the State adopted new annexation procedures for Santa Clara County, effective
January 1, 2001. Under these procedures, cities have the decision-making responsibility
for annexations such as the Sand Hill Road, Pasteur Drive and Quarry Road areas. Each
distinct physical area to be annexed is to be processed as a separate annexation. As
identified below, this results in the Sand Hill Corridor having four annexations.
DISCUSSION
The City actions needed for the easement and annexation processes include:
1..City Council revocation of existing public service easements for utilities and
roadways for Quarry Road, Arboretum Road, Sand Hill Road from Arboretum
Road to San Francisquito Creek, the former Pasteur Drive roadway, and a
relocated electric utility near Hoover Pavilion.
2.City Manager approval of the new public service easements for utilities and
roadways.
3. City Council approval of four annexations including:
Sand Hill Right-of-Way) "7 Property located on the south side of Sand Hill
Road between San Francisquito Creek and approximately 275 feet west of
Pasteur Drive (3.192 acres +/-);
CMR:207:02 Page 3 of 8
¯Pasteur Drive Right-of-Way and Adjacent Land -- Property located on the
south side of Sand ¯Hill Road between Pasteur Drive and Welch Road (1.973

¯Quarry Road Right-of-Way --_Property located on the south side of Quarry¯Road between Arboretum Road and the City of Palo Alto Electric Substation
(0.061¯ acres +/-); and
¯Quarry Road Right-of-Way -- Property located on the south side of Quarry
Road between Palo Road and El Camino Real (0.250 acres +/-).
Attached are color maps identifying the easement and annexation areas (Attachment I).
Easements
As illustrated in Attachment I, the current public service easements for utilities and
roadways for Quarry, Arboretum and Sand Hill Roads and Pasteur Drive are a collection
of eight-easements adopted at various times from the 1950s through the 1980s. When City
and Stanford staff began to address the issue of what easements were needed for the
widened and relocated roadways that are part of the Sand Hill Corridor approval, a concern
was raised regarding adding moreeasements to an already confusing set of easements.
The staffs concluded that it would be better to vacate the existing easements and have one
new public service easement for utilities and roadway for all of Quarry, Arboretum,
Pasteur and Sand Hill from Arboretum Road to the Creek. The easement for the section of
Sand Hill Road from Arboretum Road east to El Camino Real was accepted by the City in
1999 as part of the construction process and the easement wording is consistent with the
new easement.
The process for vacation of an easement is based on the State Streets and Highways Code
which allows for the summary vacation of public service ¯easements which have been
relocated and are no longer necessary for present or future public use. The procedure calls
for the City Council to adopt a Resolution Ordering the Vacation (Attachment VI). The
attached Resolution has incorporated all of the easements identified for vacation in the
attached color illustrations (Attachment I). The vacated easements will be replaced by the
new easements accepted by the City Manager.
The process for acceptance of an easement is established by a resolution adopted by the
City Council on March 15, 1971. Under this procedure, the City.Manager has the authority
to accept new easements. Stanford staff has prepared and City staff has reviewed and
approved the legal descriptions and maps for the new public service easements for utilities
and roadways. The new easements cover Quarry Road from E1 Camino Real to the middle
of the intersection with Arboretum Road; Arboretum Road from Quarry Road to Sand Hill
Road; Sand Hill Road from Arboretum Road to San Francisquito Creek; Pasteur Drive
from Sand Hill Road to Welch Road; and a relocated electric line near Hoover Pavilion.
CMR:207:02 Page 4 of 8
After conclusion of the easement vacation and acceptance process, there Will be areas that
no longer have a roadway, easement. These areas include (see Attachment I):
On the north side of Sand Hill Road along the frontage of the Oak Creek
Apartments, the edge of the existing right-of-way will no longer be .part .of the
Sand Hill Road right-of-way but will become a separate public utilities
easement.
¯On the south side of Sand Hill Road east of the former Pasteur Drive,¯ there is a
570-foot section of existing right-of-way (approximately 0.26 acres) that will
revert to Stanford.
¯On the south side of Sand Hill Road west of the intersection with Arboretum
Road, there is a 375-foot section, of existing right-of-way (approximately 0.17
acres) that will revert to Stanford.
¯Along Arboretum Road, there are small sections of right-of-way that will revert
to Stanford.
At the former main E1 Camino Real entrance to the Stanford Shopping Center,
there is a segment of road easement (granted when this portion of the Center was
developed in the early 1950s) that will revert to Stanford.
The right-of-way adjustments along the south side of Sand Hill Road between the former
Pasteur Drive and Arboretum Road were identified during the 1995-97 Sand Hill project
review process. The easement at the E1 Camino Real entry to the Shopping Center was not
originally identified. However, reversion to Stanford of the El Camino Real entry area
along with the section of Sand Hill Road right-of-way west of Arboretum Road (i.e, on the
Nordstrom’s site) will have no effect on allowable floor area or any other development
right for the Center.
Annexations
Under the State’s annexation statutes, as amended in 2000, cities in Santa Clara County
conduct annexation proceedings and the Santa Clara County Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCO) processes the annexation documents after Council action. For
annexations of uninhabited areas where the property owner consents to annexation, there
are no public hearing requirements. The essence of the procedure is that:
¯the property owner requests annexation;
¯the City initiates review and approval from the County Assessor, County
Surveyor and, for waiver of protest hearings, from the County (these steps have
been completed);
¯the City sends a letter to the property owner stating the time of the City Council
meeting to initiate the annexation;
¯the City Council adopts a resolution setting the date for considering the
annexation;
CMR:207:02 Page 5 of 8
¯the City notifies the property owner of the meeting date at which the City.
Council will consider the annexation;
¯the City Council adopts a resolution approving the annexation; and
¯the City Manager forwards the appropriate documents to LAFCO for its
processing, including forwarding to the State.
All fees associated with the annexation are paid for by Stanford University.
Each distinct geographical area has to constitute a separate annexation. For the Sand Hill
Road, Pasteur Drive and Quarry Road areas, there are four land areas to be annexed as
identified in the above text, in the attached color illustration (Attachment I) and in the four
attached Resolutions (Attachments VII, VIII, IX and X). Also attached are Stanford
University’s requests for annexation of each of the four areas (Attachments II, III, IV and
The four attached annexation Resolutions set consideration of the annexations for the May
6, 2002 City Council meeting.
The end result of the annexation process is that the complete right-of-ways for Sand Hill
Road and Quarry Road will be incorporated into the City limits. For Pasteur Drive, the
complete right-of-way for the relocated Pasteur Drive will be in the City limits and the
adjacent land pre-zoned in 1997 to RM-40 will become part of the City. The pre-zoning
designations will become conventional zoning designations upon completion of the
annexation and without further City action.
RESOURCE IMPACT
Maintenance of the roadways was anticipated in the Council’s 1997 project approval
actions. Effectively, whether the edge of Sand Hill Road and Quarry Road are in the City
or in the County, the City will likely bear the maintenance responsibility given that most of
the two rights-of-way are in the City and the impracticability of not maintaining one
narrow edge of the roadway. Santa Clara County would have the maintenance
responsibility for the section of Pasteur Drive from Welch Road to Sand Hill Road. Given
that the road has been recently constructed, the maintenance costs are a minimal part of
City street maintenance work.
TIMELINE
Recordation of the easement vacation .resolution and the new easements replacing the
vacated easements will occur within the next several weeks.
The annexations will return to the City Council on May 6, 2002, at which time the Council
will consider four resolutions approving the annexations.
CMR:207:02 Page 6 of 8
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The vacation of public service easements for utilities and roadways described herein is part
of the Sand Hill Road project(s) for which the Council certified an Environmental Impact
Report pursuant to its adoption of Resolution No. 7685.
The annexation of the roadways and area adjacent to Pasteur Drive .were considered in the ¯
Sand Hill Corridor Environmental Impact Report certified on June 30, 1997 and no further
environmental review is required.
