Request for Pre- Screening of a Proposal by TS 800 SA LCC to Rezone the Subject Property from Commercial Services (CS) to Planned Home Zoning and to Redevelop the Site with 75 Condominium Units in a Five-Story Structure. Environmental Assessment: Not a Project. The Formal Application Will be Subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Review. From: City Manager Lead Department: Planning and Development Services Recommendation Staff recommends that Council conduct a prescreening and provide informal comments regarding the applicant’s request to rezone the properties at 800 - 814 San Antonio from Service Commercial (CS) to a Planned Home Zoning (PHZ).1 Comments provided during the prescreening process are not binding on the City or the applicant. Executive Summary This prescreening is a request by the applicant to rezone the subject properties, which are currently zoned Service Commercial (CS) to “Planned Home Zoning (PHZ).”1 The project site consists of two parcels totaling 0.87 acres with 11,600 sf of personal services uses (day spa [body kneads day spa] and learning center [sequoia academy]) and youth club. The project includes demolition of the existing buildings and construction of a single, multi-family residential building with 75 residential condominium units. This prescreening application responds to the City Council’s expressed interest in learning from home builders what it takes to create more housing opportunities in Palo Alto. Utilizing the 1 Referred to in this report as "Planned Housing Zone" to emphasize the focus on housing as the benefit to the community. PAMC Section 18.38, which outlines the requirement and process for Planned Community (PC) Zoning, remains the underlying code supporting application of this policy. City of Palo Alto Page 2 Planned Community (PC) zoning process, a PHZ application must meet two initial qualifying criteria established by the City Council: 1) provide 20% of the total units as affordable housing selected from a prescribed menu of options, and 2) provide housing units that meet or exceed the demand generated by any net new jobs. The project would require a formal application consistent with Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC), Zoning Regulations, Chapter 18.38 to allow for a Development Plan with increased height, increased floor area ratio (FAR), increased lot coverage, reduced open space, and reduced setbacks compared to existing CS requirements. The project would require a zoning map change to Planned Community for the properties. Background In February 2020, Council unanimously endorsed using Planned Housing Zoning (PHZ) for housing and mixed-use housing projects to help spur housing production. In exchange for deviation from certain standards as allowed under the rezoning, if approved by Council, the project must include at least 20% of the housing units as deed restricted for lower-income households. Moreover, the number of housing units must offset the number of net new commercial jobs that are generated by the project. In accordance with Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) Section 18.79.030(A), a prescreening review is required for legislative changes, including rezoning, prior to the submittal of a formal application. Pre-screenings are intended to solicit early feedback on proposed projects and, like all study sessions, cannot result in any formal action. Since this proposal may return to the City Council as a formal application, Councilmembers should refrain from forming firm opinions supporting or opposing the project. Project Description A location map of the proposed site is included in Attachment A. The preliminary schematic drawings, included in Attachment C, are conceptual, as is appropriate at this stage of project consideration. As shown in these schematic drawings, the applicant is proposing a single multi- family residential structure, which would replace three existing buildings, totaling approximately 11,600 sf, located across the site. The 114,581 square foot (sf) proposed development would include 75 residential condominium units. The site includes two parcels and totals 38,194 (0.87 acre). As part of the project, a lot merger and a condominium subdivision would be proposed through a Tentative and Final Map process. The development would be five stories with a proposed height of 60 feet. Rooftop mechanical equipment is allowed to extend an additional 15 feet in height though it is not clear based on the conceptual drawings whether any equipment or associated screening is proposed to extend beyond the 60-foot proposed height. City of Palo Alto Page 3 A Pedestrian entrance to the residential use would be provided from San Antonio Road. The building would include two levels of below-grade parking. Access to the parking garage would be provided along San Antonio Road from a single entrance/exit. The site currently has two curb cuts; one of the curb cuts would be removed and the other curb cut would be widened to accommodate ingress and egress in accordance with current standards. The below-grade parking structure would include 141 stalls. Under the current code, 143 stalls would be required without parking reductions. Surrounding Uses Adjacent zoning and uses include other service commercial (CS) zoned parcels to the north (Enterprise and Hertz car rentals) and south (existing office/commercial recreation uses; a mixed-use multi-family residential/retail project approved to the south [788 San Antonio, File No. 19PLN-00079]). To the West, across San Antonio Road are commercial uses within the GM Zone District, including a biomedical use, Immune-Onc Therapeutics, immediately across the street, and a multi-family residential use within a Planned Community Zone district (the Greenhouse) at the intersection of Leghorn and San Antonio Road. Adjacent buildings are generally single-story buildings; however, the approved residential use at 788 San Antonio would be four-stories tall. Analysis Staff will prepare a thorough analysis of the zoning and Comprehensive Plan compliance upon submittal of a formal application if filed. A review of the conceptual plans, however, highlights key concessions that the applicant is requesting. Comprehensive Plan The project site’s land use designation is Service Commercial. High-density housing is identified as an allowed use in some locations within this land use designation. Council recently amended the Comprehensive Plan to encourage housing within several blocks of San Antonio Road, and modified the Palo Alto Municipal Code (ordinance 5512) to enable the Housing Incentive Program (HIP) to apply to housing projects within these blocks. Zoning Compliance For PHZ rezoning projects, Council has the authority to set the parameters for most development standards, which would be reflected in the tailored ordinance for the new PHZ District. However, for informational purposes, Attachment B compares the development standards under the current CS zone district with the proposed project. Although the Greenhouse multi-family residential development is nearby (Zoned PC-2711), the project is not located immediately adjacent to any existing multi-family residential uses. City of Palo Alto Page 4 In 2021, Council approved a mixed-use development via the Housing Incentive Program on a CS zoned site adjacent to the subject site. The adjacent project’s zoning remained CS. Therefore, special standards outlined in PAMC Section 18.38.150, such as limiting the height of nearby buildings when adjacent to PC site, do not apply. In comparison to the existing zoning, the applicant is requesting that the new PHZ allow for increases in floor area, density, lot coverage, and height. Specifically, the applicant is requesting: • A floor area ratio (FAR) of 2.99:1 where 0.6:1 is allowed per code for exclusively residential housing projects (or 1.5:1 under the housing incentive program allowances); • To exceed the 50-foot height limit by 10 feet, as measured to the top of the exterior parapet; • 68% lot coverage where 50% is allowed; and • A density of 75 units where 26 units would be allowed (allowable density is 30 DU/AC; the project site is 0.87 acre). This use would replace a commercial development that includes retail-like (personal service) and retail uses. Retail Preservation The current 11,600 sf of retail or retail-like (personal service and retail) uses at the site is subject to the retail preservation requirements outlined in PAMC 18.40.180. However, as outlined in PAMC Section 18.40.180(c)(4)(C), a high density (30 or more dwelling units per acre) project located within the CS Zone District, but not within the ground floor or retail combining district, shall only be required to replace 1,500 sf of existing retail or retail-like uses. The project qualifies for this partial exemption; however, the applicant is not proposing to replace any of the ground floor retail at this site, which would require Council approval as part of the PHZ ordinance process. Multi-Modal Access & Parking Valley Transit Authority (VTA) bus lines 21 and 40 are the nearest bus lines to the project site. The San Antonio Caltrain station is located approximately 1.4 miles from the project site. Further information is needed regarding the on-site circulation and vehicle trips to determine whether the project is consistent with the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan and other transportation policies such as Council’s Local Transportation Impact Analysis Policy adopted on June 15, 2019 (CMR 11256). This information would be required as part of any formal application. The proposed project would be beneficial in that it reduces the number of vehicular curb cuts City of Palo Alto Page 5 along San Antonio Road. The design does not include on-site space for trash pick-up; therefore, it is assumed that the applicant intends to bring the trash bins out to San Antonio Road for pick- up or that Greenwaste can pull out bins from a first-floor area that is less than 25 feet from the road. Under either circumstance, this would require signage to limit parking along a portion of the frontage during trash pick-up hours and may require improvements to the public right-of- way to provide for effective roll-out and pick-up. Parking The project would include 141 vehicle parking spaces within two levels of underground parking garage; the City’s parking regulations would typically require a minimum of 143 vehicle parking spaces. Although a loading space is not required for residential uses, staff notes that no areas for drop-off/pick-up (e.g. for rideshare, residents moving, etc.) have been provided in this design. The new objective design standards require a standard parking space designated for taxi services (e.g. uber/lyft) and delivery services (e.g. doordash) for housing projects with over 50 units. This should be considered as part of any formal application. The project plans indicate that 75 long-term and eight short-term bicycle parking spaces would be provided, consistent with the municipal code. Long-term bicycle parking is currently shown on the ground floor adjacent to the main entrance. Short-term is not shown but would be required to be provided as part of any formal application. Inclusionary Requirement and Jobs Housing Imbalance The site is currently zoned to allow commercial or mixed-uses and there are three existing buildings on these properties which are currently being used for personal service and youth club uses. These existing buildings would be demolished and replaced with the proposed multi- family residential development. This would lead to an 11,600 sf decrease in commercial space. The project would result in a net reduction in jobs (approximately 20 fewer jobs) along with a net increase in housing units (75 housing units). The project would provide 20% of the units at Below Market Rate in accordance with Council’s requirements for projects seeking to rezone using the PHZ process. The proposal would improve the jobs-housing imbalance by providing housing units in an amount that surpasses the jobs created in the retail use at the site. Policy Implications Pre-screenings are intended to solicit early feedback on proposed projects and, like all study sessions, cannot result in any formal action. Therefore, informal comments from Councilmembers would not impart policy. That said, there is interest among other home builders and property owners to learn of the Council’s initial reaction to the subject request, which may influence the filing of future prescreening requests. City of Palo Alto Page 6 In addition, Council’s feedback on key requests such as the height limit and floor area will help to inform whether there is interest in pursuing Zoning Code text amendments. Such text amendments, if desired, would have policy implications. The City Council recently adopted objective standards intended for housing development project reviews that do not include a request for legislative action. Because this project includes a request for rezoning, the project review is not streamlined nor subject to the exclusive use of objective standards for review. If the project were a HIP project instead of a rezoning, the objective standards and shortened review could be applied to the project. Resource Impact The prescreening and processing of an application, if filed, are services paid for by fees from the applicant. Additionally, impact fees are charged on the project to account for the impacts the project has on public services and infrastructure. The project could impact local tax revenues due to the minor decrease in the total retail area at the site. Further research would be needed. Due to the confidential nature of sales tax revenues, staff cannot report on current sales tax revenues from the site. Timeline Following the prescreening review, the applicant will consider Council’s comments and determine how they want to proceed. Any formal application to rezone the property to a PHZ would be subject to the Planning and Transportation Commission (PTC), Architectural Review Board, and Council’s purview. Stakeholder Engagement The Palo Alto Municipal Code requires that notice of this public hearing be published in a local paper and mailed to owners and occupants of property within 600 feet of the subject property at least ten days in advance. Notice of a public hearing for this project was published in the Daily Post on August 5, 2022, which is 10 days in advance of the meeting. Postcard mailing occurred on August 2, 2022, which is 13 days in advance of the meeting. As of the writing of this report no project-related public comments were received. Environmental Review The prescreening is a preliminary review process in which Councilmembers may provide comment, but no formal action will be taken. Therefore, no review under the California Environmental Quality Action (CEQA) is required at this time. A full review in accordance with CEQA would be initiated with the formal filing of a development application.
