What qualities, experience and cxpertisv would you bring to the Planning & Transponation Commission'?' I've lived in Palo Alto for nearly 3 decades. I think it's one of the most interesting, Vibrant, yet liveable cities in the Bay Area and, it's not a stretch to say, the country. A great Climate, beautiful scenery, and a world-olass university certainly factor into that But, so does extremely good oivio planning. The importance of ciontinuing to'make wise, thoughtful, and long-Sighted planning and transportation policy choices in preserving the city's unique character can't be oV,e'rStated. I'm very interested in helping to do that. ' My experience as a scientific researcher means I'm comfortable working with teohnical cOncepts, designs, and data and devising solutions to technical problems: My experience as a project manager translates into faoility with scheduling, budgeting, and coordlnatl':lg multiple tasks, often croSsing organrzatlOnallines -Ofteo both within and outside of government. to accomplish a set of goals. Both roles require the ability to work well in teams while being able to·e.Ovooate one's own position strongly, and to be able to see both near-and long-term needs clearly, Bds/Commissions -702-23 9/1/2011 12/20/2012 12:33 6506040350 TSA 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? I would see my role on the Planning and Transportation Commission as being one of several members on an investigative and ,deliberative (and democratic) body whose principalJunction was to inform and advise the Council, mostly on matters pertaining , to zoning, transportation, development, and the COl1}p,rehensive Plan. I'm not clear on what the second part of, the question is asking and, therefore, won't , try to answer i:t. ' , 6. What are the CUIl"ent issues facing the Planning & Transportation Commission? .. , Certainly the development proposal or "master plan," however one wishes to characterize it, for the 27 University Avenue property will be something the Commission will be d~ling with. Another issue will be plans for the future renewable-energy-generating recycling/compost facilitY , adjaceJ1tto Bixby Park. ' There are, of course; the ongoing issues of: 1) howlWherefif to provide, additional housing, especially affordable housing, for the increasing numbers of people who seem to be coming to the area; 2) how to best provide safe, efficient mobility through and wIthin our city for an Increasing regional p.opulation; and 3) how to foster and preserve commercial vitality in the city , 7. If appointed, Wh~t specific goals would you like to sec the Planning &. Transportation COmmission achieve? I would like to see it devise, 'in concert with city staff, and advocate for, the city trying a' , series of innovative, mostly low-tech approaches to making traff.ic safer and more' efficient and enhancing all modes of personal mobility. I would also like to see it seriously consider, and try to develop tlie notion of one or , more "carrying capacities," (for example, of residents, non-resident workers, Jind hotel guests) for the' city, based not on munlcipa,l finances but on more inherent, immLitable factors (like population d~nsity, park space, land-fill space, water availability, etc.) that address live,ability and local identity., ' Bds/Commissions 702-23 9/1./2011 PAGE 05/06 12/20/2012 12:33 5505040350 TSA . ., , City of Palo Alto 250 Hamilton Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94301 eaNiEN!

Describe your involvement in community activities, volunteer and civic organizations: Would very much like to get involved in the City of Palo Alto as someone who has grown up in this city we call home. I am currently attending and serving at New Community Baptist Church in Mountain View. I serve as a kindergarten teacher, cell small group leader, and as a church facilities coordinator. While living in Korea, I volunteered at the Bundang Community Center teaching English to less privileged children in the area outside of Seoul. 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? I believe I bring a fresh face and perspective on Planning & Transportation in the City of Palo Alto as a younger candidate for a position on the commission. As an architectural deSigner, I have always been interested in Planning & Transportation issues, especially in analyzing how to solve problems from a design-thinking point of view. I also actively follow Planning & Transportation news from around the world and having lived abroad in a diverse range of places, I believe my experience with Planning & Transportation globally contributes to what I can bring to the commission here in Palo Alto. Bds/Commissions -702-23 9/1/2011 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? As a potential board member, I see my role as a servant and will be servant-minded. In making recommendations to the Council, I realize I am not the ultimate decision maker, but that it will be my job to fully think through each and every situation brought to the commission and to make a recommendation that best serves the City of Palo Alto and its residents. If it were necessary to change current roles, I would approach it in a way that is respectful of the parties involved and in a way that is most efficient and productive. I realize that being picked for a position on the commission is not for leisure and namesake, but in order to best serve and in making the best recommendations for the City of Palo Alto. 6. What are the current issues facing the Planning & Transportation Commission? Some of the main issues facing the Planning & Transportation Commission right now are centered around downtown development. Beginning with parking, the city finds itself lacking enough parking spaces for those who currently work downtown leaving residents in the immediate surrounding areas frustrated that their typically quiet neighborhoods are clogged with parked cars. To further frustrate many residents, the downtown area has been rapidly developing more office spaces, but not necessarily more parking spaces for those who will work in those buildings. There are also ideas of making part of University Avenue a pedestrian parkway, a proposed office & movie complex on the site of Julia Morgan's historic building, and the proposed pedestrianlbike bridge over 101 to replace the current underpass to the baylands off West Bayshore Road. 7. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Planning & Transportation Commission achieve? If apPOinted, I would specifically like to see the commission change and evolve for the better of the city's future in a way that is actively productive. While Palo Alto is a historic city and the past and present civil servants have done their best to bring us where we are, I believe the city needs to continue to adopt ways of setting itself up to prosper and succeed in being a place our residents are proud to call home, as the birthplace of the Silicon Valley. Though some might wish for Palo Alto to stay only as populated as it is (or even was), it is inevitable that our City will continue to grow. We must make the best recommendations to the Council to not only prosper in growth, but so that even as we're growing, we're always staying one step ahead.

What is it about the Planning & Transportation Commission that interests you? What qualities, experience and expertise would you bring to the Planning & Transportation Commission? I grew up in the sprawl of the Sacramento area, then lived in the well-planned density of Berkeley, at which time I became aware of the choices and impacts of urban planning. I've taken interest in Palo Alto's planning decisions as it has changed since I moved here in 1984, when downtown was basically deserted at night. I believe we are struggling to figure out how and where to develop density in a community and transportation infrastructure that were originally developed as suburban use. Our historic 6000 square foot lot density creates a challenge in implementing mass transit options, and in avoiding degradation of vehicle travel for many residents and workers as a result of increased density. I have developed competence in board and commission work over over 15 years of participation and leadership. I am analytical and typically act independently but with goal of consensus, and have a healthy skepticism to avoid the groupthink that can beset collegial volunteer bodies. Bds/Commissions -702-23 9/1/2011 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? In my previous role as Parks and Rec Commissioner, I developed my opinion that a commission's task is to actively encourage and listen to public and stakeholder input, then review and analyze an issue or policy (or in the case of the PTC, project) to the best of our abilities to produce for Council a summary, and where appropriate, consensus recommendation of the commission, supported by the source information and analysis, as well as the dissenting opinions within the commission. Direction from Council can avoid wasted efforts by commissions, but due to Brown Act limitations and typically diverse opinions of council members, it is not practical to expect clear direction prior to analysis of specific issues. 6. What are the current issues facing the PI~ing & Transportation Commission? Parking issues associated with continued growth, Highway 101 Pedestrian Bicycle Overpass, Support to the Council of their review of the Transportation Section of the Comp Plan update, Draft Density Bonus Ordinance, 27 University Master Plan, Palo Alto Golf Course proposed changes, Jay Paul Company proposal for CA Avenue District 7. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Planning & Transportation Commission achieve? 1) Clarity of the planning process for stakeholders: I have personal experience from building my residence in Palo Alto, and from observation of other developments, of the frustration and costs that can beset a would-be individual or professional developer when the development process lacks clarity. 2) Alignment of any land use changes with the needs of the City, particularly as articulated by the Comp Plan. Unless major changes occur, we have significant development of housing required to meet ABAG goals. I hope we can use any upzoning to encourage meeting the goals, ideally with housinf units unlikley to add Significant pressure on schools and infrastructure. 3)Encouragement of bicycle safety and use. I typically use my bike for my sole transportation 3-4 days a week, and would like to see policies which encourage Palo Alto as a bike commuting leader.

Describe your involvement in community activities, volunteer and civic organizations: I have attended many City Council, Board and Commission meetings. I am presently serving as a member of the Development Center Customer Advisory Group (DCAG) as a resident representative. I have been engaged In the College Terrace Residents' Association (CTRA) for many years as a volunteer and as a board member. I have attended and contributed to many community meetings ranging from City Council meetings to Planning and Transportation Committee Meetings to Palo Alto Neighborhoods (PAN) meetings. I have worked with city staff to help design and implement the College Terrace Traffic Calming program and the College Terrace Residential Parking Permit Program. I also worked on the Califomia Avenue tree replanting and maintenance. I am a Canopy volunteer and I worked on a special committee for Wildlife Rescue. I worked with Planning staff to evaluate parking needs In the mixed use (CN) zone of College Terrace. I recently served as a representative of the DCAG on a panel to interview Chief Building Official applicants. I am the CTRA representative to the Stanford Community Resource Group (CRG). I avail myself of opportunities to lean more about planning and transportation issues, and the history and natural environment of Palo Alto and the surrounding region. I have been asked by three different Palo Alto neighborhood associations to consult on parking and planning issues. 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? As a 25-year resident of Palo Alto, I have a great appreciation for the quality of life that we enjoy. We are fortunate to live in a setting of tremendous natural beauty and we are the beneficiaries of thoughtful planning by previous city administrations. I believe that . maintaining our quality of life requires a careful balance among the needs of businesses, residents and the environment. I am interested in working on the Comprehensive Plan update to reflect this balance. I am passionate about maintaining these high standards for all stakeholders. Through my civic engagement, I have gained a deep appreciation of the importance of good planning and the complexity of the decisions involved. Bds/Commissions -702-23 9/1/2011 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? I believe that the primary role of a commission member is to evaluate proposed projects with respect to their consistency with City policies and the Comprehensive Plan. The commission serves as an advisory body to the City Council on planning and transportation matters including land use, development and zoning. The City Council has decision making-authority on all of these matters. 6. What are the current issues facing the Planning & Transportation Commission? ·1 believe that some of the key issues currently facing the Planning and Transportation Commission are: -The Comprehensive Plan Update -Regional housing needs -High-speed rail, Caltrain and the intermodal transit center -Transporation and parking needs; multi-modal transporation -Implementation of the bike and pedestrian Master Plan 7. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Planning & Transportation Commission achieve? The commission should work to maintain the appropriate balance between the built environment and the natural environment --that is enabling economic vitality and growth while preserving the character and "feel" of Palo Alto. I would like to see the commission promote more community involvement; getting members of the public more involved in planning issues in a positive way early in the process.

While I remain committed to serving you and the community in this capacity my current medical condition makes it impossible to interview this Wednesday. I broke my arm last week in such a way that required Surgery. I apologise to you and the city clerk for any last minute consequences of my decision, and hope you will not be inconvenienced. Recovering from this surgery is a short term event, which in no way diminishes my long term ability or commitment to serve on the P& TC. In fact my resolve to serve you and my community in this advisory capacity is as strong as ever. I look forward to working on the Commission; reviewing projects for their consistency with the Comp Plan, and following the direction of council, and thinking about and contributing to Palo Alto's future.

What is it about the Planning & Transportation Commission that interests you? What qualities, experience and expertise would you bring to the Planning & Transportation Commission? I am trained as an architect, but have always fell that my strength has not been In designing buildmgs, but underatendlng the broader contexts in which we situate our buildings· urban and landscape design, transportatlon Issues, land use, pubUc space. While the bulk of my architectural design experience Is residential (affordable housing and single family), in that capaciIy, I'Ve had eJCpOllUre to several municipal zoning codes, planning and building departments In the Bay Area, which has led me to conclude that local government Is an Important force In shaping our buHt environment. I'm very Interested how local government fosters that process, questioning how policy and codes can lneent or discourage good design and built form, and following the process of how these policies develop. I'm also curious what long term strategies Palo Alto has for maintaining a good public sphere for all residents, empioyeesiemployers, businesses and visitors to enjoy, and would very much be Interested In taking an active role In participating In that process here in Palo Alto. continuing efforts I began in graduate school. While pursing my M.Arch at the University of Virginia, I was actively involved in meny efforts to develop new ways to Improve the built environment of the Univefslty. With several planning and landscape architecture students, I helped found the Green Grounds Group, an organization dedicated to promoHng SUSlainable development on campus. I also worked in the Office 01 the Architec:l, (which was led by David Neumann the lormer University Archltec:l of Stanford 1989-2003). With the plamlng stsff and asslstsnce of many Green Grounds members, we Inldated a preliminary bicycle usage and pathway study for the UVA and greater Chilriollesville. II selected for the Planning and Transportation Commission, I feel that my academic and professional background and general personal Interests would be well suited to understanding many of the complex Issues being brought forth. Bds/Commissions -702-23 9/1/2011 6. What are the current issues facing the Planning & Transportation Commission? Managing growth -Palo Alto is blessed to be a desirable community. But particularly in areas of density, it is important to be able keep attracting/retaining a good mix of businesses, get ahead of circulation issues such as traffic, parking and transit to handle the influx of employees and visitors, while maintaining livability & vitality for residents, planning for and providing necessary infrastructure (roads, bridges, multimoda.1 paths, utilities, water supply and wastewater management) Several large development projects throughout the city are raising many of these issues at once, and PTC should serve as a strong force in creating the right planning framework to help staff & City Council assess these projects. Regional Transportation Connectivity· As a major employment hub with significant retail centers, Palo Alto sees a huge influx of people each day, and the connectivity between Palo Alto and the surrounding municipalities is critical to the city's continued viability as successful employment and retail node. There is a critical need for dialogue with regional planning and transportation groups and more sophisticated ways to evaluate current development, transport preSSUres within city limits and connectivity to surrounding areas. PTe is heavily reliant on staff for much of this information, but given the criticality of this issue, this may be a good time for more direct interface or participation in staff discussions with these regional agencies. Equity -Palo Alto is blessed with significant affluence, but it is a challenge to provide opportunities for all. This includes maintaining a mix of good businesses (many are now priced out such as mom and pop retailers, child care centers, food businesses) and a good mix of affordable housing options. Palo Alto is trending toward being a selVed town, with essential selVices personnel, teachers, health care workers, public selVants, and service workers who serve Palo Alto pushed out of the community 7 _ If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Planning & Transportation Commission achieve? Development of a new Comprehensive Plan, to provide Council, staff, and other commissions with a strong framework for future decision making. I understand this is already in progress, but it is a critically important effort, and the basis for evaluating policy for many of the issues facing the city. Be more visionary: It would be great to see Palo Alto become more leading edge in planning, just as Silicon Valley and Palo Alto has become a springboard for startups and world leader in various technologies over the years. This is no easy undertaking, but the PTe can set the bar, increasing expectations to encourage new ideas & policies. It important to start with staff and understanding the hurdles they face with respect to development & implementation of policy, and communicating to Council the value of any new ideas, approaches.
