EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The subject property located at 2901-2905 Middlefield Road is zoned planned community (PC) and is developed with a 12-unit apartment building. PC zoning is site specific zoning that applies to a particular development and does not necessarily conform to other City zoning standards. The PC also contains an easement for a private street and another parcel addressed as 702 Ellsworth Place. The Ellsworth Place portion was developed as a surface parking lot providing guest parking for the apartment building. The PC zoning for this site occurred in the late 1960s. Before the PC zoning was established, the Ellsworth Place portion of the site was zoned single family (R1). The balance of the property had been developed for commercial use. Council approval of PC 2343 changed the underlying zoning and enabled multi-family housing, which was built as it generally exists today. However, the administrative task of updating the City’s zoning map to reflect the new PC designation did not occur. In 2017 the subject property was sold to a new owner. In 2022, 702 Ellsworth Place was sold to a separate owner who purchased the property with the intent to redevelop it as a single-family home. Area residents familiar with the site history raised concerns when they learned 702 Ellsworth Place had been sold to a separate owner seemingly in conflict with the development plan authorized in conjunction with the 1960s era PC zoning. The subject application is a request by the property owner of 2901-2905 Middlefield to amend the PC zoning district development plan and to allow 702 Ellsworth Place to be rezoned and developed independently as a single family residence. The applicant’s request letter is attached to this report (Attachment A). BACKGROUND In 1967 a PC zoning ordinance was approved for the subject property to allow a 12-unit apartment building.1 The development site consists of four parcels adjacent to the northeast side of Middlefield Road and extends from Sutter Avenue to Matadero Canal (Attachment B). The apartment building is located nearest Sutter Avenue. Access to the apartment is provided via an easement across one of the development site’s parcels referred to as 702 Ellsworth Place, which also has four parking spaces that serve the apartment building. The easement also provides access to Ellsworth Place, a private street with 13 residential properties; these properties are not associated with the PC development.2 The PC ordinance is Attachment C to this report. In 2017, the development site was sold to a new owner who also owns several apartment buildings in the area. In 2022, one of the four parcels that comprise the development site, 702 Ellsworth Place, was sold to another separate entity. This more recent purchase was reportedly based, at least in part, on information provided by the City indicating that 702 Ellsworth Place could be developed with a single family home. This guidance, however, is not consistent with the administrative record and occurred because the zoning map from 1960s was never updated to reflect the approved PC zoning designation. For decades the City’s records regarding these parcels appeared to show the incorrect zoning. Similarly, when the City implemented its online property parcel records, the subject property (2901-2905 Middlefield Road and 702 Ellsworth Place) did not include information about the applicable PC zoning designation. Real estate professionals, developers and property owners rely in part on this online information to make decisions about property acquisition and development; staff too consults these records when providing information to the public. It was not until residents filed a code enforcement complaint concerning new fencing around 702 Ellsworth Place in anticipation of a future development that research began and uncovered this mapping error. Since then staff has been engaged with area residents and the two owners of the PC development site. In addition to being concerned about redevelopment of 702 Ellsworth Place, area residents have also expressed a desire for the City to take ownership of the private street to improve its condition, address drainage problems and maintain the street. Ellsworth Place is neither owned nor maintained by the City. Moreover, it does not appear the adjacent property owners own the private street either. Similar conditions exist at other locations in the City, dating from development that occurred on formerly-unincorporated land before annexation 1 PC 2343 is included with this report as Attachment B. 2 It was not uncommon in the 1960s and the decades that followed for the City to approve PC zoning requests for housing developments. A PC zoning is a legislative action that allows the Council to adopt by ordinance site-specific development standards for a particular project often in ways that allow more permissive development than could be achieved with the underlying base district standards. to the City. The issue concerning drainage and maintenance of Ellsworth Place may require further discussion but would not likely be resolved with any resolution associated with the PC development site, which does not own, use or rely upon Ellsworth Place. However, another issue could be remedied to formalize an agreement to use the easement on 702 Ellsworth Place to access the 13 properties located on the private street. The City too has an interest in obtaining access to ensure proper maintenance of a City-owned sewer line that lies underneath the street. The owner of the original development site 2901-2905 Middlefield Road and the new owner of 702 Ellsworth Place are seeking an amendment to the PC ordinance to remove 702 Ellsworth Place from the PC ordinance. The request includes rezoning 702 Ellsworth Place as R1 to allow the construction of a new single family residence and to formalize easement access to the 13 residential properties adjacent to Ellsworth Place. The Municipal Code requires an applicant requesting a PC or an amendment thereto to submit a prescreening application, which requires a study session before the City Council. Importantly, no decision is made and no action can be taken during the study session. The City Council may ask questions and offer comments but should refrain from forming settled opinions for or against the project which may return to Council as a formal application. Comments or statements made by the Council and the applicant are non-binding. DISCUSSION There are several components of the site history and future redevelopment that require further review from staff. At this initial stage, the applicant has begun the process to amend the PC to allow redevelopment of 702 Ellsworth Place. Ultimately, the City Council has broad discretion in legislative matters and the property owner has the responsibility of knowing what requirements apply to their particular property that may preclude future redevelopment. Nevertheless, the Council may want to also balance inaccurate information published on the City’s zoning maps and online property parcel reports as potentially contributing factors to the current situation. The property owner for 2901-2905 Middlefield has discussed with staff a possible parking solution to make up for the lost parking spaces at 702 Ellsworth Place. Staff will review this solution in detail when the formal application is filed and in the context of changing local and state regulations concerning parking requirements for residential properties, including local amendments to eliminate visitor parking requirements several years ago. This concept plan is provided in Attachment D. Staff will evaluate the change in floor area ratios and housing density from the original PC, how these change with the proposed amendment, and to what extent, if any, that has any impact upon adjacent and surrounding properties. Staff will also be interested in discussing with the applicant and Planning and Transportation Commission setback requirements for 702 Ellsworth Place and how those align with the neighborhood context. Staff will continue to explore access rights for the properties that rely on Ellsworth Place for ingress and egress to their properties from Middlefield Road and the need for a deed restriction or similar instrument to document City access to a City sewer line that extends under the private street. Staff will evaluate the appropriateness of rezoning 702 Ellsworth Place to R1 or whether, based on a variety of interests, a separate PC zoning ordinance should apply to this property – if it is ultimately allowed to be separated from the PC referencing 2901-2905 Middlefield Road. Based on the foregoing, there are many issues to resolve with this application and staff will engage with project proponents and neighbors to identify solutions and possible paths forward. The Planning and Transportation Commission will have a key role in this process and will forward a recommendation to the City Council. In the meantime, the subject study session provides an opportunity for the applicant and public to provide additional insight and for the Council to ask questions and offer any initial remarks in advance of the formal processing of an application. A preliminary concept plan for the new single-family residence is also in Attachment D. Attachments E and F are Council and Planning Commission meeting minutes from 1967 and a 1967 Commission Resolution regarding the PC. FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT The recommendation in this report has no significant fiscal or budgetary impacts. STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT Staff received correspondence from Ellsworth Place neighbors and shared those comments with the applicant and the owner of 702 Ellsworth Place. Staff had email communication with three other owners of property along Ellsworth Place. This culminated in a letter to staff and Council (Attachment G). Staff met onsite with several Ellsworth Place neighbors on February 24, 2023, for several hours to hear concerns and discuss the conditions of the street. Discussion included potential issues and solutions related to delivery truck parking for Ellsworth Place, visibility at the intersection of Ellsworth Place and Middlefield Road, and the status of deeds, easements, and street ownership. Staff and Council more recently received correspondence from neighbors on Sutter Place (Attachment H). ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The recommendation in this report does not include any formal action or decision by the City Council and does not qualify as a project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A formal application would be subject to CEQA and reviewed accordingly.

The net result of this application will be to relocate four under-utilized guest parking spaces and to permit the construction of a modest one story house at 702 Ellsworth. This application, suggested by City staff, will clean up a recently discovered zoning error on the City’s published Zoning map and ensure continued use of a 20’ wide strip bisecting 702 Ellsworth for ingress and egress by the homes fronting Ellsworth. EXISTING DESCRIPTION The two properties comprise 26,386 SF: the Middlefield property is 19,893 SF and the Ellsworth property 6,493 SF, including a private road easement bisecting the property. The private road easement provides access from Middlefield Road to the single-family homes along the cul-de-sac, Ellsworth Place. Without this private road easement, these properties on the cul-de-sac would be landlocked. City of Palo Alto City Council February 28, 2023 Page 2 The development plan for PC 2343 was approved in 1967 and included twelve multi- family apartments: 4 studio units, 4 one-bedroom units and 4 two-bedroom units. Twenty parking spaces, including twelve covered spaces, one per unit, were provided for residents and guests. The apartment building and twelve covered parking spaces reside entirely on the 2901-2905 property. Bicycle parking is also provided inside each unit and is used frequently by the tenants since conveniences are in the neighborhood including Safeway, CVS, miscellaneous shops, restaurants and professional services just steps away. There is a high frequency VTA Bus line on Middlefield, with a bus stop less than 100’ from the apartment building. On the vacant 702 Ellsworth property, across the private road easement, is the balance of eight uncovered parking spaces. Currently 702 Ellsworth consists of unsightly asphalt and wheel stops on the otherwise parcel of dirt and weeds. This parking, which has been designated as guest parking for the apartment complex, is rarely used by guests of 2901 Middlefield, though other Ellsworth Place residents and delivery trucks occasionally use it for convenience. The existing multi-family development is substantially the same as when it was approved in 1967 and has been well maintained. The current owner purchased the properties in 2017. The owner recently conveyed 702 Ellsworth to RRP Homes LLC, but intends to hold and continue to operate 2901-2905 Middlefield. At one time there was a single-family home on 702 Ellsworth Place, but the structure has since been demolished. The new owner is currently seeking to build a one-story home at the entrance to Ellsworth Place. PROPOSED PRE-SCREENING Zoning Map Correction The current version of the Zoning Map designates 2901-2905 Middlefield Road as RM- 20 and 702 Ellsworth as R-1. In 2017, when RLD Land LLC acquired both lots, the Zoning Map and GIS Parcel Report showed the zoning as RM-15 (which the City subsequently upzoned to RM-20 on April 1, 2019) and R-1, respectively. In late 2022, when RLD Land LLC sold 702 Ellsworth to RRP Homes LLC, the Zoning Map and Palo Alto GIS Parcel Report showed 702 Ellsworth as R-1. It was not until RRP Homes LLC went to file a building permit application, that he was informed that 702 Ellsworth was purportedly zoned PC. The parties were subsequently told by the City that the adjoining property at 2901-2905 was also zoned PC, rather than RM-20. Unbeknownst to both the City and the owners of 2901 Middlefield and 702 Ellsworth, it appears an uncodified and unrecorded PC ordinance was adopted in 1967 without a concurrent zoning map amendment. Thus, the City’s internal records describe the lots as governed by PC-2343 while the published zoning map shows the parcels as RM-20 and R-1. Shortly after discovering this inconsistency, City staff updated the GIS Parcel Report for City of Palo Alto City Council February 28, 2023 Page 3 the properties to reflect the PC designation. However, the Zoning Map (excerpt below) continues to show 2901-2905 Middlefield as RM 20 and 702 Ellsworth as R-1: While the parties contend that the Zoning Map accurately reflects the zoning for the respective parcels, at the suggestion of City staff, the two property owners agreed to file this request for a zoning code amendment to correct the City’s records with respect to both parcels. Parking Requirements Since the 1967 development plan was approved, the City has reduced the parking requirements for multi-family projects to encourage more use of public transit and bicycles and to facilitate multi-family housing projects. The current parking requirements for the twelve apartments is sixteen spaces: 2 spaces for each two-bedroom unit and one space for each of the one bedroom and studio units.1 Guest parking is no longer required. Given there are twelve covered spaces at 2901-2905 Middlefield, we propose creating 4 additional uncovered parking spaces on site for a total of 16 required parking spaces for 1 Palo Alto Municipal Code 18.52.040, Table 1. City of Palo Alto City Council February 28, 2023 Page 4 the apartments on the 2901-2905 Middlefield property. The new parking spaces are in existing paved areas, in both the side yard and rear yard of the property. One of these spaces could be held in landscape reserve, designated as a loading space or converted into a formal parking space should any parking demand require the conversion. Please reference drawing A2.0 for the location of these new spaces on the site plan. 2901 Middlefield has always had ample parking for its tenants. In addition, there is ample street parking on Sutter which serves as the side entrance to the apartment building. We recognize that the narrow width of Ellsworth Place reduces the parking opportunities for the Ellsworth residents and are committed to accommodating all required parking on site. Easement over 702 Ellsworth Ellsworth Place is a short, private 20 foot wide non-through street. The street serves approximately 7 properties on each side and does not have sidewalks. While the residents fronting on Ellsworth have traditionally used a portion of 702 Ellsworth to access Middlefield Road, the only recorded right of way easement against 702 Ellsworth benefits 2901 Middlefield. This application will clear up this longstanding ambiguity by recording a public ingress/egress easement for the entire neighborhood and at the City’s request 702 Ellsworth will also designate the City as an additional benefitted party to the easement. Delivery Trucks Ellsworth Place is an existing non-conforming private street with a width of only 20 feet.2 Delivery trucks serving 2901-2905 Middlefield are able to park on Sutter. Residents have indicated that delivery trucks are using the private property at 702 Ellsworth to park and/or turn around their vehicles. The owners of 2901 Middlefield and 702 Ellsworth are willing to work with residents to come up with a reasonable delivery truck plan, although given the narrow street to begin with, Ellsworth may not allow safe passage for all trucks. In addition, 2901 Middlefield has been working with GreenWaste to relocate its trash pickup from Ellsworth to Sutter Avenue. Density The 702 Ellsworth Place property will be developed with a new single-family, one-story home with onsite parking in accordance with the R1 zoning site development regulations. This one-story home is compatible with R-1 and R-2 development on Ellsworth. Per request of the neighbors, the plans do not include a basement. The applicant has also been working with the neighbors to address other site planning issues. Once the Ellsworth parcel is removed from the PC, the density of the apartment building will be slightly more than the density permitted by RM-20. However, as the proposed Housing Element contemplates upzoning many RM-20 units to RM-30, the resulting density will be in line with the new RM-30 zoning. Further the bulk and massing of the apartment is not changing. The existing building has 2 Under Palo Alto Municipal Code comparable private streets created after 2009 must be 32’. City of Palo Alto City Council February 28, 2023 Page 5 been in place since 1969 and its mid-century low profile is compatible with the eclectic mix of medium density buildings on Middlefield Road and barely visible from Ellsworth. * * * RLD Land LLC respectfully requests the City Council support amending the development plan of the governing PC ordinance to right size the parking requirements and allow for the addition of a modest single family home on the currently vacant lot.

Both 2901-2905 Middlefield and 700 Ellsworth Place are included in the referenced PC Ordinance 2343.1 The applicant -owner is RLD Land LLC which owns 2901-2905 Middlefield. The owner of 700 Ellsworth, Handa Development, has consented to this application. EXISTING DESCRIPTION The two properties comprise 26,386 SF: the Middlefield property is 19,893 SF and the Ellsworth property 6,493 SF, including a private road easement bisecting the property. The private road easement provides access from Middlefield Road to the single-family homes along the cul-de-sac, Ellsworth Place. Without this private road easement, these properties on the cul-de-sac would be landlocked. The development plan for PC 2343 was approved in 1967 and included twelve multi -family apartments: 4 studio units, 4 one -bedroom units and 4 two -bedroom units. Twenty parking spaces, including twelve covered spaces, one per unit, were provided for residents and guests. The apartment building and twelve covered parking spaces reside entirely on the 2901-2905 property. On the vacant 700 Ellsworth property, across the private road easement, is the balance of eight, uncovered parking spaces, defined by unsightly asphalt and wheel stops on the otherwise parcel of dirt and weeds. Generous, private outdoor patios and balconies were provided for each unit in the original plan. Bicycle parking was also provided inside each unit and is used frequently by the tenants since conveniences are in the neighborhood including Safeway, CVS, miscellaneous shops, restaurants and professional services just steps away. There is a high frequency, VTA Bus line on Middlefield, with a bus stop less than 100' from the apartment building. The existing development is substantially the same as when it was approved in 1967 and has been well maintained. At one time there was a single-family home on 700 Ellsworth Place, but the structure has since been demolished and we would like to see a home there again at the entrance to Ellsworth Place. 2657 Spring Street, Redwood City, CA 94063 Phone 650.365.0600 Fax 650.365.0670 thehayesgroup.com Architecture and interiors PROPOSED PRE-SCREENING The proposed amendment is to amend Section 2 (development plan) of PC Ordinance No. 2343 to extract the 700 Ellsworth property, since it has no building improvements on it, and consolidate all parking associated with the apartment building on the Middlefield site. This will mean that all the resident parking will be located on the same site at 2901-2905 Middlefield property. The vacant 700 Ellsworth property would revert to R1 zoning to be consistent with the other properties along Ellsworth Place and allow for additional housing opportunities. The applicant has owned the 12 -unit apartment building since 2017, has kept it under good repair and intends to continue its operation. Since the 1967 development plan was approved, the city has reduced the parking requirements for multi- family projects to encourage more use of public transit and bicycles and to facilitate multi -family housing projects. The current parking requirements for the twelve apartments is sixteen spaces: 2 spaces for each two -bedroom unit and one space for each of the one bedroom and studio units. Guest parking is no longer required. Given that there are twelve covered spaces on site, we propose 3 parking spaces and 1 space in landscape reserve for a total of 16 required parking spaces for the apartments on the 2901-2905 Middlefield property. The one space in landscape reserve could be converted into a formal parking space should any parking demand require the conversion. The new parking spaces are in existing paved areas, in both the side yard and rear yard of the property. Please reference drawing A2.0 for the location of these new spaces on the site plan. The 700 Ellsworth Place property will be developed with a new single-family, one-story home with onsite parking in accordance with the R1 zoning site development regulations, providing more housing for Palo Alto. Partial plans for this new home have been provided courtesy of the owner of 700 Ellsworth for reference. Per request of the neighbors, the plans do not include a basement. We look forward to amending the development plan of the governing PC ordinance to right size the parking requirements and allow for the addition of a modest single-family home on the currently vacant lot.

Jacobs MOTION: Councilm- - . s moved, and it was duly seconded, to up- hold the recommendation of - ing Commission and take no action on the proposed revision to the z. •rdinance defining lot area and open space as requested by Ellis L. Jac• . - chitect. -5- 99 3/13/67 69 3-1-67 aul Reimer of George S. Nolte, Inc., stated that at the time of the o :ittal proposal it was to the best knowledge of Dr. Lee and Sunset tha the property sold to Sunset was 129 plus acres and through an over- sight he 2 plus acres under discussion at this meeting were omitted. He sai• this application was a formality to comply with acreage pre- sented p viously. He said there would be no road addition or change of plan. He -.ded.that the applicant would prefer to have the zone change accomplishe and that the land use map not be basically approved and he suggested simple statement that at the time of the submission of the tentative m the road pattern be in accordance with something accep- table to the lan owners, the City staff, and all concerned. No one else wishing speak, the Public Hearing was declared closed. The Planning Officer su: ested amending item 2 under Recommendations to read "At the time of the - bmission of the tentative subdivision map the lots and streets shall .e designed..." Commissioner Brenner felt she eferred to leave the statement as originally written in that it se ed somewhat questionable to add 2 acres to the P -C when they do n. add to the 0-A (open Area District) or other design. Chairman Stromquist felt that problem •s not especially related since the zone change use map shown is not bei - included as part of the docu- ments of development at this time and is n t being approved with the lot pattern shown. He said he felt the basic i ent of the P -C development was not being changed at this time. MOTION: Commissioner Ware moved the acceptance of the re =elution draft and the amendment suggested so that it read: "This Commis • on, pursuant to the afore recited summary of hearing and report of find :s, does hereby recommend to the City Council of the City of Palo Alt the adoption of amendment to Section 3.02 of Ordinance No. 1324, the Zo ng Ordinance, as set forth in Exhibit "2" attached hereto reclassifying rom R-E:A District that certain property as more particularly design ed, described and shown on Exhibit "5" attached hereto in accord ce with the following restrictions: (1) The subject two acres shall b added to and become a part of the adjacent parcel of the Rancho Arast dero lands. (2) At the time of the submission of the tentative subdivision map, the lots and streets shall be designed to allow suitable and appropriate extension(s) of the street system of the Rancho Arastrad- o development into the abutting properties in such manner as to serve th �TION properties located generally between the subject property and Los Trancos Road." SECONDED, �ARRIE Zoning Application of Ray T. Lindsay to change the P -C (Planned Community) district development plan applying to property located at 2905 Middle- field Road from Administrative -Professional uses to Multi -Family Resi- dential uses. Cf2L-ZC ) The Planning Officer requested the record show that the Notice of Public Hearing had been published and mailed as required by the Zoning Ordinance and the Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were on file; that the report of the Planning Officer was mailed to the Commissioners and the applicant prior to the Hearing, was available to the public, and was made part of the record by reference. Commissioner trench asked whether it would be necessary to advertise a - 2 - 70 3-1-67 public hearing for a change of zone in that he felt a change in a P -C development might not be quite the same as a request for R -3:G (Garden Apartment District Regulations) zoning. The Planning Officer replied that in line with what had been submitted this would meet an R -3:G zoning and he did not feel there would be a requirement to advertise on that basis; that if there was a proposal to go to C-2 (Central Business District Regulations) or more intensive development, he would have no hesitation in saying it should be adver- tised, and that he would certainly re -advertise if the Planning Com- mission felt the notice that was sent out did not adequately convey the situation. The Public Hearing was declared open. Ray T. Lindsay, 499 Middlefield Road, said that they had attempted a professional development but that there had been an exodus to the vicinity of the hospital resulting in many vacancies. He said there was no indication that this was the proper location for that type of development. He felt the zoning as R -3:G and development of the 12 units proposed would be in keeping with the General Plan for that area, that the design would complement the area and be for the good of the community and the City. No one else wishing to speak, the Public Hearing was declared closed. LOTION: Commissioner Brenner moved to adopt the recommendation of the Planning Officer and the resolution reclassifying to R -3:G. LOTION ;ECONDED: Commissioner Ware seconded the motion. Commissioner trench felt it might be wise to readvertise the public hearing as a zone change and offered a substitute motion to that effect. The motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner Gordon asked for clarification as to whether the plans as shown were meaningless in a change to R -3:G. The Planning Officer confirmed that this was correct and added that the applicant would be committed to R -3:G requirements. Commissioner Gordon wondered whether the property between Ellsworth Place and the Matadero Canal would be adaptable for building under R -3:G and what canal setbacks there would be, if any. The Planning Officer said the canal setback would be six feet as in the situation immediately across the canal. To a question by Chairman Stromquist concerning the right of way of Ellsworth Place, the Planning Officer answered that Ellsworth Place is a private right of way and is encumbered with easements and could not be built on; that setbacks would depend on the front, rear and side of the property as determined by the Building Inspector. George Cody, architect representing the applicant, said the R -3:G use is based on the overall consideration of the total property and the 12 units would use up the number of units permitted for the land area; that in addition it would be very difficult and very uneconomical to develop the land between Ellsworth Place and the canal in any way. DTION RRIED: The motion carried on a 4 to 1 vote. - 3 - RESOLUTION NO. 46 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PALO ALTO RECOMMENDING THE RE- CLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN PROPERTY ZONED P -C AND RENORING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH A REPORT OF FINDINGS AND SUMMARY OF HEAR- ING 67-ZC-2 Ray T.

Chairman of Planning Commission Ellsworth Place Residents Are Against Amending PC-2343 February 23, 2023 File Number: 23PLN-00025 Attention City Planning, City Council, et. all. The homeowners and tenants of Ellsworth Place vehemently oppose a change to the PC-2343, as written in 1967, which permitted the building of the apartment complex, now known as 2901 Middlefield Road. On April 3, 1967, Lindsay Properties asked for an amendment of Ordinance 1810, titled Ordinance 2343, which included four parcels of land located at 2901 - 2905 Middlefield Road, and 701 - 702 Ellsworth Place. The creation of Ordinance 2343, what is now PC-2343, allowed for the building of the apartments we now refer to as “2901 Middlefield Road”. The current amendment sought by the owner of 702 Ellsworth Place (a.k.a. 700 Ellsworth Place), to remove their parcel from the PC would create a non-compliant zoning situation in our neighborhood, significantly increasing density above what the City allows, even if parking and other concerns are addressed. The zoning for 2901 Middlefield Road was at one point classified as RM-15, and the City Council had to approve the combining of four parcels of property into what became PC-2343, which included a PC laid over the R-1 lot formerly known as 702 Ellsworth Place, which became “the parking lot”. The combination of these parcels created sufficient lot size to allow for having 12 units in the apartment complex, while meeting parking needs, and allowing the combined lot to conform with other development standards. Progressing with the times, the density for lot 2901 Middlefield Road has been increased to RM-20 status. However, by cutting off the R-1 lot formerly known as 702 Ellsworth Place from the PC-2343 agreement with the City of Palo Alto, the apartments have incurred a zoning issue with their density. The single parcel APN: 127-35-194 is a total of 19,893 square feet, per the city’s online parcel system, which is 45.7% of an acre (an acre being 43,560 sq ft). Under RM-20 zoning rules, they would only be allowed to have 9 apartment units on the 2901 Middlefield Road parcel. But they have 12 units per the PC-2343 agreement. It is therefore required that the apartments keep all parcels of land together as agreed upon by the PC-2343 ordinance they have with the City of Palo Alto. No other apartment lots on the Sutter Ave block are rated higher than an RM-20. Removing 702 Ellsworth Place from the PC-2343 agreement creates a non-compliant situation for the existing apartments, making them too dense for their parcel. Finding places to create parking spaces within the property does not change the other non-compliance issues that are now occurring since 702 Ellsworth Place was sold on November 7, 2022. The City’s job is to enforce city laws, and the developers and property owners of Haze Architects, Dewey Land Development, and Handa Developers Group are flagrantly violating our 1 of 11 city laws. If there is an ordinance governing a parcel of land, as approved by the City Council, that ordinance stands. Rezoning to make things less compliant sets the wrong precedent. There are city rules and regulations in place to handle odd situations, such as allowing older, non-compliant things to remain as they are, and variances to help amend the more unusually shaped lots, but these situations do not apply to 2901 Middlefield. Plus, the current RM-20 assigned to the lots comprising 2901 Middlefield Road was once an RM-15, so the parcels creating the PC-2343 ordinance are already getting a 33% increase in the allowable number of units they can contain -- and yet they still would NOT be compliant. What precedent would be created if the city were to choose to allow these property owners and developers to break their laws? Would every apartment complex, grocery store, and local business think they too can sell off their parking lots to squeeze in homes? We know that the proposed R-1 house for the 702 Ellsworth Place lot is not a part of the latest City Housing Element. Furthermore, as Palo Alto homeowners and tenants, we do not wish to be steamrolled by greedy property developers looking to break peaceful neighborhoods so they can impose their egregious solutions. The proposed “solutions” are not right for the residents of Ellsworth Place, and they are certainly not right for Palo Alto as a city. Another issue is the apartment owners created the blight on the property when they cut down all the trees on October 8, 2018, including two oak trees, and yet their plan on page two of their proposal reads, “Tree Protection - It’s Part of the Plan!” We have photos of what the parking lot looked like prior to October 8, 2018, when they claimed to be doing “land maintenance” to the City Arborist. The canopies of those raised trees are drawn on the property layout, as shown on page 6 of their proposal presentation. The first two photos below are from Google Wayback, and were taken on November 2017. 2 of 11 3 of 11 PHOTO BELOW - Taken on October 8, 2018, was taken during their “landscape maintenance” A CURRENT PHOTO (below) of the parking lot was taken on February 5, 2023 4 of 11 Additionally, the proposed house is out of scale for Ellsworth Place, as the average house size on the even-numbered side of the street is 1,114 sq ft in size on an average lot size of 4,049 sq ft. The proposed house is 1,695 sq ft and would be set too close to the narrow, 20’ wide road , which does not have sidewalks, thereby creating safety hazards and making it difficult and dangerous for delivery trucks and residents alike to enter and exit the narrow, slightly sloped driveway that creates the unusual entrance to Ellsworth Place. The proposed house uses corner set-back rules designed for 30’ wide streets with sidewalks, and it is not appropriate for the cramped conditions of Ellsworth Place. The proposed amendment to the PC potentially creates a significant public safety problem, as another issue we have been having ever since the fence went up around the parking lot is the safety of delivery trucks entering and exiting our narrow street. The residents of Ellsworth Place and the apartments have always shared delivery schedules with all the shipping companies and USPS, and our delivery drivers are now struggling to reach us. The UPS driver has resorted to using the bus turn-out on Middlefield Road to access both the apartments and the residents of Ellsworth Place. He shared with Midtown Residence Association that he used to use the parking lot to safely turn around to exit the street, but he is now forced to park in the bus pull-out to reach Ellsworth Place. Other delivery trucks are choosing to maneuver through multiple back-and-forths to turn around so they can safely exit Ellsworth Place, while some are opting to back directly out onto Middlefield Road into traffic that flows 40 - 50 mph. We have many photos and videos showing how dangerous this has become, and attached below are a few of them. The photos below show a Fed-Ex truck backing into their proposed parking space #15, (there is a video available of this and others doing a similar maneuver), a UPS truck is shown parked in the bus turnout on Matadero Creek, a DHL driver parked alongside the fence after backing into the street, and the USPS truck now parks next to the carports. 5 of 11 6 of 11 7 of 11 8 of 11 And now we get to the issue of parking. Since the apartments are not fully rented currently, while they are being renovated, not all parking spaces are being used at this time. However, when the apartments were fully rented, every one of the parking spots in the parking lot was filled almost every night, and often on weekends. With conditions as they are now, is common to have cars parked alongside the chain-link fence and in front of house #706. For safety reasons, Ellsworth Place doesn’t allow parking on the street due to it being only 20 feet wide, without sidewalks, and a dead-end street, (there is not a cul-de-sac at the end, but simply a hard stop of the 20-foot wide road against the fence). Our residents include nine children, and we range in age from 14 months old to age 85; with a representation of every age group in between. Keeping the street clear is imperative for everyone’s safety, as emergency services have only one way in and out of the end of the narrow 550’ long road, and the only fire hydrant close by is placed on Middlefield Road, in front of the parking lot! 9 of 11 10 of 11 So as you can see, what has been proposed by the developers and owners of the apartments is not well thought out for compliance with their PC-2343 agreement, and it completely misses on neighborhood safety. Unlike the existing PC-2343, the amended proposal is not right for Ellsworth Place, and the residents of Ellsworth Place do not support it. We hope the City Council will follow the rule of law and protect the homeowners and renters of Ellsworth Place and choose to keep the PC-2343 agreement in place as it was written and voted on in 1967.
