Nonresjdential Development Appr~val'i September 1, 1988 to September I. 1990
Members of the Commission:
This report and attached tables provide information on nonresidential projects
(floor area and estimated employment) that were approved between Septembe~ 1.
1988 and Septeober I, 1990. The tables in this report are grouped into two
annual reporting periods: I) between September I, 1988 and September I, 1989,
and 2) between September I, 1989 and Septeaber I, 1990. Nonresidential
develoPMent approval act~YitJ i~ Palo Alto hiS been monltored since January I,
1980, reflecting the tity Council directive of Nov.cber II, 1982 to track and
periodicall, report on such development. The previous report on
nonresident;al development activity co~ered a six-month perfod from Harch 1,
1988 to September I. 1988. It was s~nt to th~ Planning Commission on Febr~ary
3, 19S9.
FINDINGS
Sixteen nonresidehttal projects that resulted in cha~ges in floor area were
approved during the one·ye.r period between September I, 1988 and September I.
1389. These projects, when completed, will .dd 153,260 square feet of floor
area to Palo Alto's nonresidential development inventory. Only two projects
approved during this period resulted fn significant increases ;~ floor area,
i.e., Ford Aerospace at 3850 fabian Way, adding a net increase of 101,257
square feet i~ floor area, and Ramona Plaza at 250 University Avenue, adding a
net increase Df 20,300 square feet in floor area. On the ot~er hand, two
~pproved projects actually resulted in small decreases in floor area over the
previous development.
Ten nonresidential pr'ojects that resul t!d in changes on floor area were
approyed during the cne·year period betwten September 1, 1989 and September "
1990. The.e approved projects will add. total of 186,638 square feet of
floor area when they are c~leted. Two projects resulted iD significant
increases to Palo Alto's nonresidential development inventory in floor area,
l~e., the buildings developed b) (cenan land Company at 3400 Hillv;e_ Avenue,
adding • net Increa.e of lli,OOO square feet of floor ar •• , and at 1&81 Page
Mill Road, adding a net increase of 30,775 square feet of floor area~
Attached to t~is report are 1) tabl~s summarizing lppro~ed develGpment

reporting period, Z) tables identifying approv.d projects, and 3) tables
sua.arizing approved development by principal employment district between
January 1, 1980 and the end of each respective r~porting period. Maps
fdentifYlng the boundaries of the City's employment distrlcts also are
attac~ed. Oetailed tables ident~fying all ncnresjdentlal projects approved
between January I, 1980 and September 1, 1990 for each employment district are
available 1~ the Planning Department if members of the Pianning Commission or
public wi.he, to 'ee them.
The reasons for the modest level of deye'~pment a~t!y~ty in Palo Alto in
recent years remain relatively unchanged. They include ]J the limited number
of sites in Palo Alta availibTe far n~ deve]o~nt Dr redevelopment, 2) the
nationwide slowdown in development activfty, and 3) the imposition in Palo
Alto over the last five years of increasingly restrittive commercial and
1nd~strfll development regulations resulti~g from the Downtown and thE
Citywide land Use and Transportatfcn Studies that responded to t~aff1c~ Sobs
iBbalance and hous!ng concerns.
