R·2. to low Oens;t~ Mult!pl.-Famjl~. RH·15. The appl!cant ~as sybmitted a preliminary redevelopment proposal to demo1ish the existing six single-family homes on the site and to replate them ~lt~ 19 condominium units. Background On JuTy 25~ 1990, the Planning Commisslon voted unanimously to deny the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment and zone change based on flnoings listed l.ter i. this report. On August 13, 1990. the City Council unanimously approved I request by t~e applicant to continue indefinitely the application to allow the applicant ti~ to reeonsider his options regarding development of the site. The appTicant has done so and is now prepared for Council consideration of the application. Minutes of the Planning Commission and City (ouncil meetin9s are attac~ed to this report. The primary reason for the Co~1ss;on~s recommendation for denl" ~~s taken from a previous action on the property which occurred in 19B1. Staff had been unable to locate t~e record of the action at the time of the original Planning Comiss;otl staff report, but nave subsequently attached all relevant background material to this report. On May 19. 1983. a p~oposed Comprehensive Plan land yse change for tnis site from S;n~le-FamilJ to Multipl~-Family was denied S·I by the Planning Commission. Subseq"entl~. on August 15, 1983. the CitJ Council unanimously approved the applicant's request to withdraw the proposed land use change. The staff re~ort to Planning Commission. dated May 13, 19S3. ~commended that two single-family lots be created at t~e rear with the remainder of the site to be designated Multiple-ramil~. No specific ~ult;ple·f.mi11 lone was proposed. but the report sU9gested that RH·2 or RH·3 would be approprlat!, allowing a total of 17-23 units to be developed on the site_ 1ft the applfcant's letter requesting withdrawal of the proposal, dated >-•• \ o June 27, 1983, he stated that he believ .. ed that this proposal for a land use change had not been specific enough for the PTanning C~is5ion to fvaluatf the merits of a multip'e-fam~ly development on the site. He anticipated returning in the near future with a more speciffc Planned (omm~nity prcposal~ but no such prDpos~l was sUbmitted. in,luded with this report 15 a statement by the current applicant wh:cn summarizes the nistvry of the land ~se change for this slte proposed in 1983 and compares it with the current proposed land use and lone change. RECOI'I'IENDhllml Staff, in the July 20th report to the Planning Comrn1ssion, recommended approval of the Cosprehensive Plan and zone changes. If the Council wishes to approve the c~anges, the appropriate findings are on page J of the July 20th sUff reporL If tke (~ty Council Wishes to deny the applications as recommended by th~ Planning Commission, the following findings should be fncorporat!d in the raotiof'l. ]. The propose<:t zone change and Comprehensive Pl an amendment w1 1) reduce the affordable rental hausin9, and the resulting increase in total housing units fs not substant~al enough to mitigate thls loss ~f rental units; 2. The proposed lone change a~d Comprehensive Plan amendment is not consistent with land use patterns in the City. iA that R-2 zonir.g c~nTy serves as a more apprDpriate buffer between single-family residential areas and more iDtensfve land ~se~; and 3. The proposed zone change and Comprehensive Plan amendment will result in an increase iB traffic at an intersection with awkward traffic patterns. Respectfwlly submitted, .

California 420 JACOBS COURT: COHPP.EHENSIVE PLAN AM£NLlMENT AND ZONE CHANGE Members of the Council: The Lightner Property Group is proposing that the Comprehensive Plan designation for this site be changed trom Single-Family ResIdential to MUltiple-Family Residential, and that the site be rezoned from 'I'wo-Fami.ly Residence R-2 to Low-Density Multiple-Family,RM-15. ~ne applicant has submitted for preliainary Architectural Review a proposal to demolish the existinq six single-~amily homes on the site and to replace them with 19 condo.inium units~ The Planning Commission has r-e...,iewed the proposal and :cecommends that the city Council deny the proposed Comprehensive Plan land use change. BA<;:KGROOND On July 25, 1990, the Planning Commission voted unanimo-Ilsly to deny the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment and zone chaT!ge for 420-461 Jacobs COUrt4 Eight members of the public spoke in opposition to the proposal, including one resident of the project site. Minutes of the meeting are included in your Council packet of August BI 1990. At the Planninq commission meeting, a member of the public, Herb Borock, presented minutes of the Planninq commission hearing on May 18, 1983, when the Planning commission had heard a similar proposal (B3-CPL-B) for a Comprehensive Plan a~endment to change the designation of this site from Single-Family to Multiple-Family Residential. At that meetinq, the Planning Commission voted 5-1 to recommend to city Council that they deny the proposed land Use chan;e. Subsequently~ the applicant withdrew his application, and on August 15, 1983. the city Council voted unanimously to approve the withdrawal of the application. Minutes of the May 19, 1983 Planning Commission meeting and the August 15, 1983, City Coun-=il meeting are attached to this report. CMR:470:0 • ".--.'- o In their discussion of the item, the commissioners expressed concerns about the loss of affordable rental housing~ They did not find the increase in total number of units from the 12 allowed under current ~oning to the 19 a110wed under the proposed R"I-1S zoning to justify the proposed c21ange~ They questioned the impacts of the proposed Multiple-Family zoning on adjacent single-family residences and found that the existing R-2 zoning is a more appropriate transition zoning. Some Commissioners also expressed concern abo~t providing access to a mul~iple-family project at £1 Camino Way intersection with its awkw~rd traffic pattern. Commissioners noted that when a similar land use change was proposed and denied in 1983, these same issues ... ·ere :-aised~ and circumstances had not chanqed to warrant a reversal of th~t earlier decision~ ~~G.Q~ENDATION The Planning Commissicn recommends that City Council deny the proposed zone change and Comprehensive Plan amendment for the followinq reasons: l~ The proposed zone change and Comp~ehensive Plan amendment viII reduce the affordable rental housinq, and the resulting increase in total housing units is not substantial enough to mitigate this loss of rental units: 2. The proposed 20ne ~;ange and Comprehensive Plan amendment is not consist~nt with land use patterns in the City, in that R-2 zoning commonly serves as a more appropriate buffer between single-family residential areas and more intensive land uses; and 3~ The proposed zone change and Ccmprehensive Plan amendment will result in an incre~se in traffic at an intersection with awkward traffic patterns.

Firstt J would like to tfl) the commissior. about the tontacts we have had with the neighbors regarding the planned project. In addition to the cit.Y~s officiil mailing to the requiTEd 300·foot r4dius, we Sfnt our own personal letter to each of t~e same people, iDviting t~e~ to contact us if they wished to have any information exc~anqe, ThiS was prior to the architectural reviev, whic~ we requested on a preliainary basis. We have met personally witn Mrs. Berry. who is the neighbor l.mediate1y to the right, as you look at the map on [1 Camino Way. We have contacted ~~. ~b Moss, ifter revi~ing his June 5th letter. Mr. Moss called a aeeting at bis home, inviting ~yself and aembers of t~e aarr~n Park Association, Charleston/West Meadow/Ventura Association. Eight people attended t~is meeting. plus ~yself. Since our first -ailing got no response fro. fiYE of the most immediate neighbors, we wrote another letter to them on July S. ReceiYing no response cnce agaiR~ I started phoning them. I was syccessful in reaching four. Of the four, one was ;~terested i" revi~ing the plans with me. That is Hr. Chan, who lives .t 4020 Wi1.ie Way, to the rear and right of the project_ I will relay his conments to you fll a moment. So ill summary, we have spoken with a tohl of about 16 people. ,Having recognize-d some of the 07/25/90 -30- .-.. faces from the meeting! attended at Mr. Moss' ~ome, I am sure YOU .ill get a report on the results of tha:t meeting. My count was fi'lle-in (a'olor of 'e~vfn9 t~e R-2 zone intact, and 3 abstentions. Of the remaining p€~ple~ all Qf wbo~ ire nearby nei9~bQrs. most were concer~~d that there be no access Q~t~ Wilkie Way or ~acTane. Aside from tnat, t~ey had no particullr problems, JS long as the desfg" is good and their privacy re . .ains intact. I ill'! excluding from that the people-w'hO" 'Were at the meeti~g with Bob Moss. WhOM I referred to. 1 should note, i~ particular, the reactions we got fro~ the three most immediately adja~ent neighbors. Mr. George Smitn, who is here this e~eni"g and who also atte"ded the meeting at Bob Moss' house, probably will speak to you. f would characterize ~is position as liking to se~ thjng~ remain as they are. He does not support the rezoning. If it were to be rezoned. he would insist that t~ere be no access to Wilkie Way. He would like to se~ a wall as high as eight feet to ensure that does not -happen. I'!rs. Berry. irJrliediateiy adjace~t on [1 Camino Real, lament; the fact that the houses she saw being built as a child would be replaced. Howsver t she ~as no objection to the rezoning. per 51? Mr~ Chan and I spent quite a bit of time going Dyer the plans. He, as a matter af fact~ asked me to tell you he ~uld like to see a seven-foot fence at the common propertJ line. He would be ;oterested in seeing the final design plans. What we ~ave tacked up on the wa" are ~ery conceptual. Other than that~ he favors the rnop)ing. It ha'S .. lways been our bel ief that there should be no vehicular access to Wilkie Way~ rn ~ther words~ we agree wit~ the neighbors iJ! that respect. Some of tile Architectural Review Board members have suggested that is i .f"imum, there be access for pedestrians back and fortft. I ha~e yet to talk to any ~fighbor who wo~ld fa~~r that, quite frant1,. Our position would be that if we can, we would prefer to accommodate the desires of the nei9hborhooO, impacting them as little is possible, although we understand the argument in favor of having some way for the peQ~le to communfClte wit~ eac~ other. During the prexess, we have heard mainlJ two objections to the rezoning, and I SUSPEct there may be some s~b·iss~~s. b~t main1y two objections. I "ill address those now. Ttte first is a severe adverse impact on traffic and safety. and the second oil loss of t~e existing low or affDrdable rentals. As to the first objection, I have discussed with Mr. Carl Steffel ~is J~r.e 2ist memorindum1 asking him if it was, in fact, accurate, because ~e need to know as well as anyon! el~e. He said it was, ind I Quote that the fncrease in traffic will be -less than perceptlbl!-and tllat the dri~eway access on El Camino Way ·will not create an unacceptahle traffic problem.· Tne JlQ8~ at its meeting on July 19, ~ad a presentat~on by the Transportation OiYision t w~ich addressed the entire £1 Camino Way and £1 Cami~D Real and the intersections, including some planned improvements to the intersection It los Rnbles/[l (amino ~eal/El Camino Way. I ~m sorry that Hr. Moss and an~ther member of his group who were earlier at that meetfng were unab1e to stay for that presentation. It might have answer!d SOfIe of their concerns. I went to the meeting because I ~ad heard the p~evious Hight the concerns expressfd by people over increased traffic. I wanted to find out, if [ could, by ~itnessing this presentation, whether t~o5e concerns were visceral or whether they were real, and whet~er the project would create 'Some bad problems. So I asked about it again d~ring that presentation, and was once again assured that it would nct~ So I came wway fro. t~at meeting believing t~at our project wi)] not necessaril, create enough. additional traffic to cause a proble~ 07/25/90 -31- -. or add to th! problem, nor ~ill problems. Perhaps someon~ frc~ this further, if necessary~ it. in itself, create ~ny safety the Transportation D1~isi~n could address As to the second objection, whi," is the loss of affordable housing, it is. true that our proposed development .ould replace s;x existing rfntal units. They are i!rguabl)' affordable re-ntal units. They eouid not be classified, as th~y ..... ere early hl o'Jr discus-sian. 41S lo.-·rent, because they typicallj rent for over $1,000 a month·, OUI'" program would replac-e these six re1atively afford~ble rentals with t~o below-market-rate homes, which wo~ld he aViilable for purchase by qualified buyers for approximately S93~OOO eac~~ and 17 of the market-rate town homes a~~ra~ing S37S,DOO. The housing stocK of Palo Alto would therefore realize a substantial net increase of 13 residential dwellings. lhe 17 IlHrket~rii.te homes would he rehtivell affordable, 1fIjhen yOIJ (O<!lpare it with the i~erage sales price of all homes in Palo Alto. which in Mayor )~90~ hard tg believe, according to statistics that I got from the Palo Alto BDard of ~e.ltors. 1s $600,707 during the month of May. It is our goal to provide some rEasonabl) affordable housing that is as close to single-faroily ic amenities as possible. We believe there ire a Jot of bardworking. profession~l people w;t~ jobs in Palo Alto who cannot afford $60n~OOO for a ha~se, and prefer not to live in an air space condominium, and yet wdnt to own their own hO$!, ind would prefer to 1 !ve in Palo Alto rather than CommutE. I wou1d like to point ovt that these are ~ot stacked flat candomlDiums, such as the Palo Alto RedwDods. for exampie, ~i(n answers another need at a different price level. They are townnouses. No one lives over anyone. Th~J eat~ hive a priYate rear yard, private entries, attached parking. and ~st of th~ amenities Qf a Single-family home. Althoug~ $375,000, our project pr1ce~ is not che~p~ it 1s a lot ~asier to aff~rd than $600,000. Therefore t we belfe~e a case couTd be made that these new homes wouTd add to the di¥ersity of hous\~g opp~rtunities. which the Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan calls for. I (an assure the commission and members of the public here tonight that we ... ill (reate a new livin~ environmef1.t at Jacobs Court which will be eVfry bit as apPfaling as the original Jacobs (ourt was in its t1me. It will be different~ of course, and will be new~ but it 'Will be nice and w;11 be apprec~ited by its new residents. In response to one of the COlI'I'I'IefitS 'Ne had froRl the A.RB. it wi 11 be called -Jacobs COLirt. -r have tried to be brief~ and wi11 c10se oJ saying thGt I concur with t~e staff recommendation, and that may surprise you. Bob Moss,nL.30iO ernie. Palo AltQ: [Wa:i contacted by '{irginia Wirheit of the staff and asked if J hdd any records on a prewious proposal (or rezoning. At that timet] said no, having s!arch~d my records thoroughly (or twa years of planning (o~fSSlcn minutes. Tonignt, Herb Borock <al1ed with d~tes of planning commission min~tes in lSS) when this was previously reviewed. 8y some cllanc.e, I all miSSing both of those lIi'n!Jtes. J win get t~em from Mr. BOiock later. A similar proposal _as ~d~ by Chuck [delstein ;. 1983. It was opposed and rejected by the planning C~fS5ion_ Two of the members wh~ vottd to oppose it now sit on the city ,ouncil. so it will be interesting to see what ~appens when it gets up there. Two other members currently on the city council woted against it ~en it appeared with a negatiwe recommendation from the planning commission in August of 1~3_ So] hope you will follow a long tradition and vote to reject this rezoning. 07/25/90 ·ll· I " . I ...J. , _______ -___________ ;;..... __ _ I let ME ~aKe i few comments about the pa5t proposal. The loning lind use cDmm!ttee did meet i week ago. and we discussed this e~tensfwely. Of th~ t~ree people who abstained, o~e of them lives on J,cobs Court. and sai~ s~e obviously opposed the pr~ject. so did not fe~l it was appropriate to yote since she did not live in Barron Par~, ind this was i Barron Park Association nesting. The other two who abstained did so not because they favored the rezoning bvt th~y kere upset about the poor physical condition of t~e propert1~ and felt that something WiS going to happen there anyway. and if this does not go through. eventually th~ buildings will deteriorate. The owner is not putting any monfY into maintenance. obvious1)'~ so .. hile we do not particularly 1 ik.e this. we ire not gofng teo vote ~9ainst it beCAuse something is g~in; to go there anyway. That may be tr~e. It has taken seven years to come back. As fer the ~ost Df ho~sing. I get the San Jose ~rcury and theJ periodically ~ave the cost of housing in the various citi~s_ ih~ last average J saw Wll about S4S0,OOO in Palo Alto. As far is S~n91E-fa~ilJ housing in that area, today;s Palo Alto Weet11 indicated that 437) Silva. which is duwn [1 Camino Real aways. sold for $350,000. 4233 Suzanne, Ellen and Joe's neighborhood, sold for 5371,000. In my neighborhood at 947 (lima, a very aice street, $447,000. That is a lot less than S650,000_ When this came befor~ the planning COMmission and the tity cou"til before the late Virginia Smith made a very extensive present.tion. s~e Made I couple of points that I feel are important and should be considered. ne first is in regard to wheUl-i:r or not th2re is legal access fr~ Wilkie Way, if you had the history of tbat easesent. both the water district eas~nt and the s~all rectang~lar lot that is the extension of Wiltie Way. Her statemEnt at that time was tnat theft is a utility e~se~ent that goes in that area. {Poicts it out on )iewgraph) J don't k~ow if that is true or whether eas~nts have been banned in ther~. but before anything goes ip.t s-G!'IIebody ought. to review t.~e shtlJs of the easements and find out what does exist bac~ there; are there any utility lines; can anything be built; is it practical and legai to have an opening to ~;)kle; if there is not. W9 shDuld know about it. The second comment is about traffic safety_ I want to understand it very clearly. as I drive that sectlon of [1 Camino Way it Teast t~ice a day, and have been doing that for 17 years, so I speak from real experience, not engineering theory. When I tell you that s~ction of street is dang€rOU5, and that about once a month] come very close to getting creaMed gc.ing .around tftat corner, that ii reality. not theary+ What 1 happe~s is t~at is you come yp from £1 Cami~o Way toward [1 (amino Real and you go around that fishhoOK curve, people have a tendency to get to a.bout t.he present lIMlut" of Jacobs Court, and suddenly the road ""'f trifurutes. It becomes three lanes, lousy marking. very diffjc~1t for somebody coming around there far the first time to know what they snould be doing, 50 typically .hat happens to me Is t~at [ am in the .iddle l.n. trying to ~ross, and somebody in the left·hand line decides he wants to turft right, so he cuts across and makes a right tur~ 1m front of me~ Or he decides he wants to turn left and makes a left hook. to make i left turn h this Ia"e_ I ha·.,e al::;o seen people come across and all of .a sudden. realize they are past the mouth of Jacobs Court. and yo in to see their friends, cutting across traffic. Rotice wRat happens .. hen you leave Jacob! (ourt an4 you lIIant tc. go to E1 Camino Rea1. YOll ei ther go directly out Qr .ake I right turn, go down to the corner to the stop light, aa~e a 07/25/90 -33- " o U·turG~ Dr you C~~ directly across from Jacobs Court, acros~ [1 (ami~c Way~ into the left-tura: lane. and then try to tUrn left. The stiff spent a lot of tj~ answering questi<lns. that J did not ask. 1 djd not talk: abDut level of service en £1 Camino Rea1. J did not tilk about somebody 'rom Jacobs. Court exiting and getting hit by the cars that run the red light at [1 Ci~;no Real. The peopTp in Barron park have learned that ~hen th~ light turns green, yo~ ~id not go across i~edi.telJ. unle5s you are ~"icld.l. Aoout SO perc.ent of the time ,"hen I (ross El Camino Real, unless it is very lite at night, s~ebodj is running that lignt. In 1983, the II,tod parcels for tnat site wer. 132-43-140, 136 and 78, Tbe listed are~ was 49.849 square feet~ In today~s report, the parcel numbers ire 13Z-43-140, 1,0 and 151_ The listed ire. is 54,497 square feet, a difference Qf 4,648 square feet. In 1993, it was u~clear who Tfilly owned that rectangular parcel which is a~ ext~nsjon ~f Wilkie Way+ Apparently, that has been incarpcrated into the property. If it has, somebody ought to find out when the parce1s were changed and where the tot lines currentl~ lie. let's address the (IA. In Sections 12C and 0 on Page 6, the transportation and circulation, it is marked No Dr Maybe. Maybe for increase i~ trafflc hazards to motor vehicles. bicyclists or pedestrians. r think both of those should be marked Yes~ The staff report talks about chanqes and improvements to that intersection. Tne Barron Park Association bas been working with the city and Public Works and the Traffic Department fDr years an that ictersectioD+ ~st of the changes are going to be on the l~s Robles side. Th~re will be some minor changEs to the right-turn island where [1 Camino Way swings onto rl Camino Real+ The ~a;n change is going to be pulling the bike lanes out from along [I (amino ~ay into the street. It is going to glve you a bike path which is Similar to what we hav~ o~ on Park near the Oregon Expres5way. wher~ the traffic \IIIi11 acttlal1,. cross .over the bike lane if it w;;nts to make a right tur~+ As you knQw. this is a major bike route to both Stanford and Gunn. Ouring the schoo1 year, t~at street is ilive with kids biking both ways across Et Camino Real. So anything that puts an increase in traffic right in at that hook is going to ha~e a very negative impact on traffic safety of bicyclists_ It has been kissed off in the EIA_ In 190 on Page 8, tr.~ box chec~ed is that tner~ would be no envir~nmental impacts causin9 substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly+ J think there will be. The effects involve botb traffic sdfety, Toss of rental housing and 105s ~f relatively affordable housing. Those ha~e an impact and should be djsc~ssed. In the text on Page 9 wher! it talks abo~t water, 3(a), you will ~ave minor alternations to existing drainage patterns. Also in t~e EIA where you ~ave the boxes, under 14E, is there, change in stor~ water drii~age. it is _arked No. That s~ould be larked Yes. That area right now is unpaved. The road is gravel, and the houses ire relatively small. there is a relatively small amount of impervlous surface. The planned project is qoing to put in a large a;ount of impervious SUrface, and ill the water from that is going t~ dr.;n into Barron or Dry Creek. As you know, the Sanla Clara Walley Water O;str~ct is engaged in a major flood control project i~ Barron and Matadero Creeks. They are not going to increase the capaCity of Barron Creek_ So somebody ought to take a loci at now ~uch rainwater is going to come off of t~is change in impervio~s surface on 07/25/90 -34- • /; -./ ;.-.- • '\ j .- '. over ~n itre of land, and what effect it is gofng to have on the capacity of Barron Creek. The water district is not phnning any changes U.ere. Right now ~t is I c~n(rete ditch, but it is i ~aterwdy and it ~as t~ be looked at. You (annat just say ther~ is nothing happening. ~_g_lMI.l.}~i~H!er Hirsch: If 1 flay fnterrupt, that is covered under 31\. Mr. Moss: Under 3A they talked about it, and they kissed it off. While t~ey are tilking about that, thay should also have c~ecked the ot~er ~lcck where there is scmethi~g speciffc to flood control. That is the 14E, storm wat!r drainage. Tke otner c~ent that is ~ade in regard to this~ Jte~ B, top of Page 10, is whether the land use is or is net consistent. It goes into i lot of discussion abowt how RM-15 is i~propriate as i transition zone, and how RM-J5 would work, etc. It 19nores the fact that the R-2, w~ich has 2~isted there for years, works. Housing has been th~re for more than 40 years. It is vi~ble_ It is I very attractive place to li~e. Toward the back~ especi~11" r was back 1D that area, behind 420 or 440, you hardl, know the traffic on [1 Camino Reil or the commercial area there exists. It reallJ is a different eRvironment t~an you would normally e~pect t~at clDse to £1 Camino Reil. So what rei'ly ought to be considered is not :just what the propGsed zoning will be doing. but the viability, the applicability of the existfng R-Z. The planning co~ission and city council 'ooked It thii in 1983 ind Slid the R-l is appropriate here. When the original Comprehensive Plan and land use map were developed f" 1978. this was an area which was explicitly revi~ed. There was s~ real t~ought IS to what ought to go here~ ind it was zoned R-2 wit~ some care. So 1t \S not an accident_ If yOy were to Took at what is appropriate. the first Hling to look at Is what !xists. It -,orks. rhe impacts of the fncrea~ed traffic on Page IJ really ignores the existing dangerous c~nditjons of that streett which I can testif) to personall,. The Barron Park Traffic Committee has discussed this in previous years. We consider this a dangerous street segment, and we will be disc!.l~sing this ilt our next meeting. I taH.ed to Will Becket who is the c~airman of the committee aho~t tr.is part1cular prnposal several time~~ and ~n an fnforaal level, ~e igrees with us. ~e need a full EIR, particulad.1 focused on traffic, in order to really e'ial tldte this. I do not see an ErA, especially in EIA whlc~ is is deficient as this ~ne, truly addressing the project. let~5 talk about the illegal traffic moves whic~ the repoit suggests you can mOdify or change people's be~ayior by the way you locate the entrance or by making SDme .inor modifications. Tim Gathers. who testified in 1983, reported the same thing r ~aye observ~, t~at is. people regularly, not freq .... ent11, but .. bout el,lery six months, enter £1 Camino Way O!'l the wrong side Qf the island. I ~aye seen tkem do it both entering from £1 (~mino or Los Robles and going around to the left of the island, and thfn goir.g up on the Jacobs Court side. I have .150 setn them do it in the other direction where they come aro~r~ fro. [1 Caeino Way and they go to the left of the island instead of to the right of the island out onto £1 Camlno Reil. I haye seEn people make right turn~ from [I (amino Rea! onto El Camino Way, which is illegal. I ~ave seEn people make U-turns iround the island. I have had people tell me th.t what they used to do when they came frOM [I Camino Real sc~thbound and want to get into Jacobs Court. 07/25/90 ·35- ... ! I o tney ~ake a left turn onto (I (i~ino Wai~ and they used to go do~n to the Bekir.s station and drive through it. They de~ided t~at was not reilly nice, so they just go to He end of tne i51 and and make a U-turn and go back. If anyone thinks tnat moving t~e entrant! 20 or 30 feet one ~ay or the ot"er Is going to d~ter pl;!cple from making tnat U--turn, that is not rea J it.)' . I don't t~ink that people ire going t.e beha .... .e any different, tnat people are going to obey ill the traffic laws and regulations for this project any dlfferently than they do for any other-project in towr., that is. er-ratically. If they don't see ill cop there and theY'lllent to make the ture, they will do it. So ~e should tailor the project to the realities of the situation. nGt what we would like to have exist, and not to the way people OU9~t to behave I h~t to the wlY they do behave. Som€times that 1S not very lIice. We will be disc~s$in9 this this weekend, and vili have it for the city cDuncil meeting. HeanwhiTe, I would urge that you reject tne rezoning to RM-lS .s b~ing inappropriate. If you do decide tnat i rezoning is appropriate, i would ask that you require a f~ll fIA fccysed on traffic and traffic 5afety, ~t least. Thank you.

At the tim~ that the families ~re evicte~ from James Road and £1 Caaino Way~ ~n1 of you will remember that tnat is ~ere lhe Hamlet Sits now .• ~at used to be there was many units, 40 or 50 units for trwlJ low-income people. There was i lot of anguisned regret expressed by l1any of the Pa1::t AHo officials who were involved in that unfortunate deciSion. It seemed like there was nvthing we could da~ b~cause the pJan that was brought i~ for development was totally in conformance wtth the loning. This. however. is an entirely different c~se. It is possibl~ to prev~nt the e~lctions of the families l;wing on Jacobs Court. There are six very sturdy houses there that have anothe!" 50 years of Tif~ in them, that can provide housing for famjlies~ despite how they look. They ar~ stnctural i,)' sound. ! would like to g~ve a 1 ittTe tlistof"Y on "hy tnis piece of property rell',aills single+faroily in the Comprehensive f1an. Back in the 1976 Comprehensive P1Gn days, the Ventora Neig~borhood Association had a formal request tnat this be single-family, precisely for t~e purpose of preserving this hou~ing iccQrding to Housing Pol iC1 2. Tiis property retllained singh· family predsely because of - Housing Policy 2. That is the history. to Ilreserve older single-famlh' hDmes. one reason being to preserv~ the ~ffordability. Right now, I do not s~e any compelling re~son to cnange that. There wa~ no compelling reason i~ 1983 1 and t~ere is no c~elling reason now in );90. T~at hou$ing may not look great, but that is no rei son to ~~ict people. For ill the other reisons that properties ire befng rez~ned to multiple-family, tnat is to provide ~re ho~sing opportunities. For those saee reasons, on this unique property, t~is should remain single-familJ~ 1·2 for the same re~son. Building new housing there is not going to be as affordable IS what is there now. It won't even be in the ballparl_ We knew this in 1983. As I siid. the housing is St11l sturd,)'+ The .inutes date is May ]9, 07/25/90 -36- . • J-~' "". ." • /' 19B3.

So I work as a technical trainer for i cogputer animation firm in Sunnyvale. I have lived at Jacobs Court since 1988~ and it is a ~nderf~l place to live. Until] .oved La Califoraii.

It has apple trees, walnut trees, pepper trees. and an old. old palm tree on the property, In the wi~tertilfie it is full of birds, and in the sprin9t;me~ it is full of fl~wrrs. rt is a gorgeous and unique ecosyste~ of its own_ I have four ireas J would like to d~scuss from my personal ~ieWpolnt from livlr.g on Jacobs Court. One is looking for lo~-co~t housing; another ;s the condition of the houses themselvesj a tkirc is the historical walue, and the fO\jrth is raJ feelings about inlle.stment housir.g. When I lIW~ed to (~liForaia i~ 1987 to be close to my family. 1 put .Y name on the Below Market list and have been addir.g it on y!ar11. r am still very far down on the list. I do not have a ~rayer of owning a house i~ Palo A]to. for a two-.unth period in 1987. I looked at approximatel1 lO rentals. In t~at time~ J found one rental, an aparteent on Alma Street that had two bedrooms and rented for under 51,000. Nine ~ontns later 1 sublet the (21 Jacobs Court house when friends currently living t~ere told Me about it. During tn~ time that I lived on AlMa Street. 1 continued to look (or aTternaliwe housing. The Jacobs CDurt p~opert1 was the only house that I saw that was located off a busy street and that had a yard. The condition of t~e houses; I wa~ a homeowner for 13 years and hav~ ~ well founded sense of what normal upkeep is. Aithough I ~aye only lived on Jacobs Court since 1988. 1 have friends who have lived there sin(e 1985. The only repair on an1 &f these properties during that tillle Hlat I am aware o·f is the roof repair to one of the houses. landlords I have had ;ft the past 07/25/90 -37- • ·.', o hdve bee" far more interested in protecting thefr in~estment than this c~rrent landlord ;s. lhe external deterioration of the hou~e~ an Jacobs Court is due to neglect. I do ~ot know the motive for this, but my guess is that it is not benign. The yards in the Jacobs Court area have been cut once this year when He s.urveyors came. Despite all of thilt, dLlring the October 17 !arthquake, the only damage su~tained by any of t~e houses was to free·standing fireplaces. None of the hous~s sustained any damage on t~e interior. The currer.t landlord has offered to let any current resident relocate the houses. rather than having them demolished. altnou9n financially this is ~ot a feasible plan for an1 of us who are iiv~n9 there. becalJse of the property cos.ts in tlds area. Several of tiS had two different hOllse movers come out to evaluate the InOIle-abiJ ity of the houses. Both of them, one from San Jose and one (rom Paciflca, stated that the houses were baSically sturdy strllctures that would easi11 surwive ~ ao~e. Tbe historical value of the Jacobs Court property is scmet~in9 ! hdve not h~ard anyone speak about. Althougn J have on11 ]i~ed ~ere for three years. everytfme I have mentioned that I live on Jacohs Cnurt, anyone who has lived ir. Palo Alto for an ~xt~r.ded period of time knows Jacobs Court desplte the fact that it does not appear on any street map. They remEmber Prs~ Jacobs; they remember t~e CatterYt they re~mber the orc~!rd area. Jacobs Court is where Palo Aito came from. It is a very special enviro~r.t. "'.1 list point is about about investment housing. To my knowledge, the current landlord has rejectEd offers by past and current tenants to p~rchase the court in order to maintain its feel. A coup1e of other things I would like to state for tne record. A thousand ten d~)lars per aont~ rent is being considered Tow-cost housing. I find th~t q~ite aaalin9~ A $40,000 per ~ear salary is con~idered lower middle income in P~10 Alte~ Those t~ings ha¥e to be lept lD mind. So far~ my options t~ living on Jacobs Court. gi~en that I don't want to live ~n Alia Street or fl Camino Real. is t~ take mJ (~ild out of Juana Briones, take him out of , the .xC where h-e has been since firs.t grade, and leave Palo Alto. Tnree of the six houses are currentlJ occupied by Single women, none ~f whom could afford a S3oo,OOO-S400,OOO condominium. Shuuld, however. the proposed pr~perty come to pass. I would urge that some of the units truly rep1ace the existing nDusing by being low-cost rentals or available at below-market-rate sile that current residents would rece;~e priorit, for. even though this proposal was made before the August I deadline. Palo Alto's politically liberal, financially conservath1e mindset patently dee 50 not work w1Itn it ColleS to ~Iousing dedsions 1 i ke this one. We is -ill ci ty are at a juncture ~ere we are actively choosing by rezoning. by allowing huge fnvestment housfng to replace smaller house$, as it is happening all over Barron Park t to eliminate families that do nat have two incomqs.

Palo Alto: I feel that Bob and Oe!l:lY and Jane hiye covered most of the major poi~ts. 1~ too, object to the rezoning.

The Planning Oepartment file number is 8l-CPl-8, stoff report of Hoy 13, 1983_ If you decide to pot RH-IS lening on this property. I would strongly ~rge you to prevent any kind of access, either for veh;c1es or pedestrians, onto Willie Way. TherE is a severe parking problem ~it~ all of tne m~ltiple-family and cc~mer,ial projects in this area, ind I suspect that lf there is i pedestrian acce5S on Willie Way? both residents and ~is;tors to this project will park Gn ~ilkie Way and ~se that access. Therefore, I think'closing off Wilkie Way for a multiple-family development is the correct way to go. hi fact ~ .... her·! ] 1 lye on Byron Street next to the old Hoov~r School, the only good thing a~ut the project, the 99 Southwood project, is the facl that to get the 5~pport of the property Dwners who provided t~ easement fro. 8yro~ Street to Hoover School, to get their support for the Southw~od project. was to close t~at easement, to prevent cars from parkin; on Byron Street for those who wanted to go to the Southwood project. I urge yo~ to teep the R-2 zoning. The ch~lce before you is not between the RM·J5 of this particular project versus the number of units here. rt is between w~at can be developed on RM-1S yersus what can be developed under R-2. So t~e difference in the number of units is really much smaller t~an the way it is being presented to you, when you art only being s~own six units. Rather, the difference is between the maxlmu., J suppose, of II units under RM·Z versos wnat can be developed under RM-15. J r~ret, howeyer. that I ~ave to repeat something that the chairperson of the plinn~ng commission said in J983. ihat was, keepifig 07/25/90 -39- tAis as R·2 does Dot guarantee that you will keep these particular 5ln:cttJr4!s. HOW<l?ver~ the OPPof"tul'lfty to keep these structures is mUl'h greater now than it was then~ given the action of the city councll to initiate changes to the site development regulations for the R-l lone, effeCU'IIf immediatel,. That IN..,';' encourage keeping tflese lJnits, even with a resubdivlsion of tkfs ~arcel in R-2. Even jf the s;te deyeTop~nt regulations under R-2 are not changed, and the effect of the .70 floor area ratio ~as kept, J do~bt that you would see thp. overly large slngTe-famil1 ~ouses placed on this property that are mfntioned in the staff report. What Cin be built under any parl:cular lone is going to be determintd by the market. 1 ask you to consider i site with frontage on El Camino Way and whether somebody is going to want t~ buy the large house being described in the staff report, or e~en purc~~se one of the large duplexes that could also be butTt under the current site re9ul~tions. I would s~spect tnat your choice here reilly is between the number of units at the floor area plar. that is being proposed for the RM-1S versus the smaller number of units at R-2 at probably the same size per unit. This is not i place wh!re those larger units will ,ell. Bob ~S5 referred to the differenc~ iA site area described in the report from seven years ago Yers~s this ~ne. The difference in the tw~ site areas is over 5.000 sQuare feet. At th~t time, the commission asked that if this was gOing to go ahead for a Comprehensive Pian amendment, thit there be a t it1e search to find out what is really the total site area for this property. I believe that is th~ proper way to go ratner t~an to rely on w~at may be a surge as to the site area is. Just to gfve you anot~er exallple from my neig",borbood, I was recent1y ched.'in9 property to Sfe _helher it fell above or below i tnreshhcld for tne number of units that could be placed tftere. I fOUnd that 'ift the most recent purcnase of the property. the doc~ment indlcating what was being purc~ased included the 30 feet of pub lie road i ft Palo A lt~ Avenue. So the 1 ';ngth of the property ~s 30 feet longer t~an it appears on the map. So] think it is e~tremelJ i~ortant to find out ~hetner the Wilkie Way extension has been abandoned, and what process has to take p'ace, including public hearings and docu~ntst to have that property transf2rred to a private owner. 1n summary, I would say that r prefer this property be kept as R·2. that R-2 would retain at a ~ir.imum fifty percent ~f the un;ts in a new suMivislon as rental units, which is the IlQst affordable form of ho-using io Palo ATto. If it is developed as A-l, one of the things you may be ~ble tD do 1S to provide t~e totil ~umber of J2 units that is suggested in the stiff report t although it 'S:eellU to me that to prl' .... ide thit many units requjr~s t~at the public road through the property be at tne center t~ jystify that number of I~~s and to justify the wariinces tnat would be required for possibly length, widtk or site area. The reasoning given in the staff report for having the road ;~ t"at locatio.r"J has to do with traffiC, although] hive heard fro. the peopie who drive t~at rOid reg~larlJ tkat U-turns ire not going to be prevented by putting the I(cess in one place or anotner, and t~att in fact, plicing the access as fir south as possible, say, on the property line, wo~ld be the Lest access. In that case, you are more likely to get a maximum numb~r of units th~t do not need any variances at all. That ~y put you down to only ten units, o~ five R-2 ~arcelst and t~en you tin ~ke tradeoffs iD te~s cf whether you keep the c~rrent structures. or how ~ny BHR ~nits you get, if you 07/25/90 -40- • • / :-'-.--....~-.-'---- instead pe~it 12 units with 1 number of ~ariances ~nd perhaps exceptions for the width of the pyblic road.

Ja,obs Court, which fits that description. Putting 11 buildings ~hich are shingled or haYE some ~ood on t~em will not preserve tnose precious aspects. They wl11 simply be gene, and the area .ill be less interesting. The zoning should be kept at R~2 partly to preserve t~e natural aspect. so nQ more trees are tut down than is necessary if something lS built there. One resident described her area there ~s a microculture where birds and grubs thri~e in a pocket of nature that is a refuge for them in that part of t~. One heirs the birds as soon is one walks or drives into the area. Something should be preserved of that specla', natur.l Qua'ity that is there nnw. The RM·1S zone ~ill not do that. It will encourage overbuilding. r was not at the ARB meeting on this lssue, so I do not kn~ what went on there) but I read the minutes and the co~tnts of Harnie Barnts that eQuate-1 it ~ith tfle Comprehens iYe Ph:~. n:s ,ilet is-s-ujfposed t. b. downzoned.

I hope that turns out to be the case. for much would be sav~, if th~ land is not turned lnto ~ concrete or isphalt-co~ered area with buildings ilong its edges. Apparent,ly. frem what r have beer. told, the developer said he lIight drop the project if the rezonirlg does not go throu9rt. Because of I sc.hedule conflict.

There are some moral issues in~ol~ed here and vallJes about how people of different lnCCo!;le levels are being treited. Rezoning the land tc RH-1S is encouragin9 speculatlwe development. It d~es not ~elp small families nor young profess;ona~~ who are seeking less expensive hOUSing, nor does it encourage diwersity. Instead, it encourages the developer to pack pecple in as tightl~ is he tan to attract people ~ho will tolerate that, who will force themselves to lccept it for ~ir;ous reasons. I ~nderstand that If the new de~elopment goes in, t~ere aay be soae BHRs. The BMRs wi11 never replace what is there now. r think the BMAs mal cause some social problems. due to the fact that S~ people paid considerably less for similar accOIIGOdations. It is better for people to live in a place where the1 can be more lndependent and where financial arrangements can be wor~ed out pri~atelJI as is tne case on Jatobs Court now.

Also about the idea Qf putting ar. exit/entrance on Wilkie Way, I would like tD point ~ut that the space to do so is rather narrow~ and would probably eliminate the possibility of iny kind of screening or land~aping for t~at frontage.

Jf there is an entrance at both Wilkie Wa~ and £1 (amino ~a,. then obyiousl, p20ple will use it as a sho~tcut for driving tnrough.

The traffic volume di$Cussed on Page 11 --I thfnk the number of trips estimated for the residents now is a bit high, with eignt adults, that is 60 trips dally, and! think that is a lot.

Also, there is a very large ~alnut tree in the project whlch J think should be preserved. The R·2 zoning would help .ith that. Also, the ~ouses on Jacobs Court are not that dissimilar from ~ouses whicn are right be~ind the. on Wi1kie Way. lher! are some houses there that blend fa quite well. This is not like a strange ano.aly t~at doe~n't fit into the neighborhood. I think w~lt is there now actuilly fits in with ~at is in the neighborhood behind it better toan wh.t will come .fter it. Also. I t~ink it is not e~a'tly th~ tranSitional zone the way staff descrlbed it, becaus! it is actually just int~ the R-J nefghborhood. 1t is not between an R-I and a bigher density or other areas.

During t~e study~ we found there werE a lot of accidents .t this intersection, and most of those were d~e to people running the red light. Then there were seve~al other concerns whic~ Barron Park had rai~ed. Parking; one was lack of bicyclp. facilities. Two. the right turn from southbound El Camino Real to los Robles. There was a dri'lleway right here to the Amedcan Fooo Market. so there was a concer" over that. Barron Park a150 wanted to i~prQve the entrance into that area. saki~9 it mo~e aesthetically pleasing. ~e worked ~ith CalTrans .. a.nd the project we nave right now 1ncl udes several aspects of that.

[ven though there is the hazard of some parking on Wilkie Way from guests, there should be i pedestrian link into the nefgnborbood for c~lldren going to school. playing wit~ their friends, etc. It is pretty obvious to me, and r feel it is lrnportar.t to be good n~ighbor$. We are ~a~ing ~ let of p~oblems with that fn the community TigH now, saying we want to be guod fleighbors. but when it comes into (llir own neighborhood, we do not want anything to ,hange. $0 I want you to cons ider that. C()IIQi.l.sj_oner Cul len: has been closed. and tilllE'. Point of order. Mr. Chairman. The public hear:ng I feel that thls testimony is inapprQpriate zt thfs Chairman Chandler~ I view tne ARB liaison sitting at the staff table is not in~ppropriate11 adding comments. I would prefer they were made at the time st~ff made their initial comMents t rather than wafting until we are having the CQmmiS5fon discussion. Given t~at t~is is the first time and the council encouraged us to work more cooperatively with the ARB, I think Hs. Wilson should cDntinue, N~. Wilson: I am sorry~ J ~i5sed that. J ~ould just like to say that the ARB's s~pport for the zoning c~ange was probably based, with no background thJt I ~aye heard tonjght. and with i resPQnse to the increased density that has occurred along that street, that this seemed ap.,roprhtE!'. But! ... is~t that everyone on the ARB had heard .all the testimony tonight. C~issiDner Hlrsch: r came on the commission August I, 1983 ind ~issed t~ls item that year, so I did not have the benefit of tne pr!se"tatio~s then, byt w~at I was lOOking at tonight during some of t~e presentations was the recent draft of tfle HOUSing Clement of the (omprehenshe Phn thdt I be1ieve went to the city council &nd was app,oved. r looked at some of th~ 1anguage of some of the policies that I do not b~1ieve bave changed o·IIe ... the years. 1 will read several of them. "pone,)' 1: Maintain the general low,density (~aracter ~f t~e existing Single-family areai.w This is a ~lnqle-fami]l area, even though ~t is R-2 and is generally Tow density. ·Policy 2: Prese'·Ye older, single-fam11y homes," These are slngle,family ho~s. even t~ough they are rentals. People have asked that they be preserved. "Polle,y S: I_ncrease the affordable housing supply throygn better ~se of existing housir.g.w That is relevant here. ·Polic} 6: Haintaio at least t~e present number Df multiple-family rental ~nits [and t~is part I thi~k is important] while working to increase the oY~rall supply of rental h~using." The opposite side of the coin is that we do not decrease the supply of existing rental houslng. Given thl~e statemeots that we have just endorsed our5el~es and sent on to the c;ty counc1}y 1 WQuld find it almost unimaginable t~at ~e could apprave the request for a rezoning ~f this property to RM-15.

The sultject .ite 18 located on El camino way a'r the north end of the 21 Camino Way triangle and extends through to Wilkie Way on the east. It is bounded by the cu1 verted channel of Dry Creek on the north. The dte is divided into three parcels. Presently, there are six single-faaily homes on the sit.~ constructed in 1933-35. approxi.ately 1,000 square teet each, with detached qarages and various accessory buildinqs. All of the residences are being rented. The lamediate area, AS acknowledged by the Commission In their recent review of the El camino way island Comprehensive Plan Aaend.ent, is undergoing extensive redevelopment. A new B1x6d-use coaaercialj_ultiple-family project on the adjacent property to the north, replacing an existing motel, has recently been submitted to the city for review. The relatively low intensity Clf the existlnq development, c:ompaz::d to the greater density which is perllitted under current zoning and the hig'her intensity of adjacent uses, is contributing to the pressure for redevelop.ent of this site. 'l'he "pplicant is proposing to chango the zoning in order to increase the residential density allowed on the site. The proposed rezoning' to RK-1S is consistent witt. land use patterns tbrouqhout the City where RM-15 aerves as a transition between single-family d&velopment and more intensive residential or co.aerclal uaea. This site cerves as a butfer between the more intensive develop_nt along El camino Real and El camino Way and the .ingle-~ .. 11y residential neighborhood to the ... t alonq lIilkie way.

In considering site access for the project J the Architectural Review Board felt that at minimum a pedestrian connection between this site and the Wilkie Way neighborhood was important, and two aaabers preferred the project access to b~ fro. Wilkie Way rather than frca El Camino way, in order tG allow greater connection between the proposed projeot and the existing neighborhood. Mr. George Smith, a long-time neiqhbor of the site, spoke about traffic .n~ access concerns.

ISStIES OF CCNciRN TRANSPORTATION !.r...!!!!£ The Transportation Division analysis of this proposal has determined that the additional traffic volume generated by the increased density fro. R-2 to RM-15 would be too minor to result in a siqnificant traffic impact at near-by intersections. For example, the increase at the £1 camino Real/Loa Robles intersection would be abcut .3 percent. This analysis is reviewed at length in the Enviroruoental AssessDent attached to thl_ report. Access Aecesa to tha site is currently only trom El camino Way. The property has approximately 3S feet ot frontage on Wilkie way, so access from that .treet would a1ao be po •• ible. The TransportatIon Division deterained that with the proper location of driveways, access coul~ be safely accomplished fro. either street. The Barron Park Asociation submitted a letter to the Architectural Review Board, dated June 5, 1990, in which they question the safety of added traffic at the 11 camino SR420JAC VWdisk 1/20/~O Page 4 • ./' Way/Il caminc Real/Loa Robles intersection. The letter also aadc reterence to • si.ilar project proposed seven years 890, which the Barron Park AS9ociation opposed because of concerns about traffic safety on El Camino Way. As atated above, City records do not .how that a previous proposal to rezone this property was formally submitted fer City review, however, such a p~~8al may have been reviewed by the Planning Commission .1 an informational ite •• Planned improvements to the El Camino lIay/El camino Real/Los Robles intersection, 8cbedul2d for completion in 1990-91, will improve safety and belp aitigat. the impact of increased traffic. rhe improvements include new rlqht-turn lanes onto El C&mino Real, the .ddition of bi~. lanes in both directions on El ca.ino way, widening of the tvo eastbound lanes on LoB Robles and improved traffic signals. If access were to be exclusively rrom Wilkie May, the increased traftic trom the project w~ld result in appro~l.ately a 16 percent increase in Averaqe Daily Trips {ACT) on Wilkie Way north of West Meadow. According to the Traffic Infusion on Residential Environments (TIRE) index, a ~tbod of representinq a resident's perception of the effect of traffic on residential activities, this increase would be expected. to be just less than perceptible. Hov9Ver, the increased traffic in and out of the site would likely be perceptible to the neiqhbQr& adjacent to and directly across the street trom tho aite on Wilkie way. Conditions cannot be placed on an approvl!Il of the zone cbanqe or the Comprehensive Plan amendment. However, since the issue of access for any future project on this site is somewhat controv~r.ial and will have to be resolved by the Architectural Review Board In their review of the project, staff i. requesting that the ~lanning Commission make a reco».andation regar~ing access to the aita from El Caminio way and/or Wilkie Way. Pedestrian Access The proposed plan for 19 condominium units which baa been submitted to Architectural Review Board for preliminary review provides auto access only from £1 caminio Way. with possible pedestrian access to Wilkie Way to establish a connection with the adjacent residential neighborhood. EVen though on-site visitor parking will be provided, this pedestrian acces,s .ay result in some visitors parkiDi on Wilkie way. Residents in the area have etated that this site now serves as .. short cut for valJd"g into the neighborhood from El camino Real and bas even been used by people eluding' the police. Staff believes that through careful design, the redevelopaent of the site could 9reatly discourage unwanted pedestrian traffic into the neighborbood, but allow for a SR4ZOJAC Vlldisk 7/20/90 Page 5 o o ped .. trian connection tor this alta and the adjacent property to Wilkie Way. aOOSIIiG 1IUloba .. ot Unit,.

The tran8portation Division has det.:ndned. that ace... trOll either street can );Ie accompliaheci safely and ~ith no significant environmental impact on nearby streets and inter.ections. The driveway acce.s to the site from El Camino Way should be located approxiaately in the center ot the site frontaqe, ~. i. t~. case in the proposed project. This location will provided adequate queuing for right turns onto E1 Caaino Real and will reduce the possibilIty of illeqal manu.vera to enter and leave the sita. Access to the site via il camino Way i. right-turn-in/out due to the location or a median island on El Camino Way directly 1n front of tha site. Soma drivers approachinq the site fro. the north could try to enter the site by Bakinq u-turns just south of the aedian island. Drivers exiting the site may be tempted to turn left and drive on the wrong side of the me~i&n to reach southbound 11 Cazino Way. Botb tbese aanuavers will be di8co"raged by locating the drIveway approxbtately in tho center of tho site frontage.

George L. s.!tb~ 390 Maelane, Palo Alto~ spoke durinq public comment and reeommended that no through public access be included from ~he rear ot this project to Maclane and Wilkie way. He preferred ~n 8 foot block wall at the rear. particula~ly to impede unla~ful escapes from £1 Camino Real. He cited numerous times the police have been looking tor unlawfyl types in this area. He has lived at his current address since 1952 and provided a brief history of the area. He also 5aid that many people do not want to walk around to go to the All Americar. Market across El Camino Real~ Ana he noted that traffic incre~sed on Wilkie an~ Mbclane because of tbe i_pediments put in the road on Park Boulevard. It was his observation that traffic islands were made to disobey in Palo Alto l that motorists ~ake illeqal U-turns through them. At peak hours, he said that El camino Way is a through thoroughfare from El Camino/EI Camino Way to Alma. Many times there are tratfic jams in this area. Since this was a PREL~MlNARY REVIEW, no formal action vas tdken. Board members did offer the comments noted below. Marpi Sa.rJle:lll Ms. Barnes expressed real prohlems with this project and 5tated that &one are vn an emotional level since $he knew Mrs. Jacobs and krlew JacOb's Court veIl years a90. She noted that the existinq court was planned as a planned community. Ms. Barnes stated she has a dIfficult ti~e 8ccepting the density proposed here. She also noted that the entrance/exit will impede traffic and is the only entry/exit for the project. She also objected to the name of the project, apalo Alto Court-; she thought that to be a very unj~aqinative, sterile name. Ms~ hrTies said that if developed, it does not maJte sense for the people ~ho live there to have access to Wilkie WaYi she suggested a security gate. She could not support the character ot the proposal and the density. She registered stro"9 objection to the loss of affordable rental units. But if developed, she clarified that she would require that an arbori'st 90 out on site and qive an evaluation of each tree along with its chance of survival. Lastly, Ms. Barne5 also not.~ that according to the Comprehensive Plan, this area is supposed to be downtoned. ;', 5/17/90 paqe 5 CG /- o o )ficHe 1 Ly.va Mr. Lyzva auqqested the following: a) Need aeriel view, including surr~nding buildings and the canal, for yoyr presentation. b) Notice that units are oriented sot toward the harshness and concreta ot the canal along the property line. Would prefer that at least some ¢t these units be oriented away from the canal .. c) Objection to ~the car as kinq~. entries and compatible relationship of the neighborhood. di Play area in the back needed. Project lacks formal to character and backbone e} Encouraged by the potential of the varied units that applicant is proposing. Did appreciate that. f) Mr. Lyzwa thought that saving the trees, etc .. can wor-lc to the project's advantaqe. 9) Mr. Lyzwa thou9ht that the zone change is appropriate. Aillo daROs. For the record, Ms. ~aRosa said that she had spoken ~ith one of the residents on site. In terms of the zoning chanqe, she thought one of the biggest obst~cle$ will be traffic. In response to the current problem with vandals or unlawful types, Ms. daRosa ob~erved that right nov the condition of the property invites vandals to run and hide in the veeds~ She noted thet new construction might improve that situation. Ms. daRosa expressed regret and said that she is also torn by the loss of this little court with its bunqalow houses, but said that the appliclnt could do a lot to take advantage of the specialness of this site. A lot of hardscape is .aybe too much of a char.ge. perhaps better to eonsider different ~aterials or something that relates to the existing building. There is an opportunity to c<hisider more clustering, with breaks in the buildin9s to ~f!ord views. Common open space would be best located at the rear. Concerned that the front quest parking is very close to the entry to the project. private entries and porches need to be refined and dev.loped, particularly for upstairs units. Gu~st parkifl9 shOGld be spread out in the complex and needs to be clearly .arked. Reqarding the site plan, need to aake it less of B hard, ~r~an envi4onment. Ms. daRosa stated that she does not support the zone change it the project is not connected to Wilkie way. She would prefer that the developer consider 5/17/90 Page 6 CG ~- Blllall duplexes a Wilkie Way only. change. Jop Ichipl Lastly, she added that it access is trom then Ms. daRosa might support the zone Mr. SChink observed that ve are alvays disappointed with we see affordable housinq lost, ~Jt he noted that is the purvie~ of the Planning Commission. He thought the presentation ~as good &nd that it suggested some very creative solutions. He thouqht that ~destrian Bccess on wilkie Way could create A potential parking nuisance on Wilkie W~y. Mr. Schink thought that the ~ain exit/entrance tor the complex should be from Wilkie way, that it ~culd be more appropriate that it be connected with the residential environ~ent of Wilkie Way. He hoped that the Planning Commission vo~ld consider this. But if entrance/exit is oft El camino Way. he thought the harder aaterials and hardscape are appropriate~ He stated that th~ applicant had made a good start. He was pleased with what they had done so far. Mr. SChink asked the applicant to draw· in the buildings next door and the creexline for the next presentation; to qive the Soard a better idea of whether or not the project is too monolithic. Lastly~ Mr. Schink lD'"as in favor of the zone ch~nge. Ms. wilson called for the Transpo~tation Department to study the E1 Camino/Ei Camino way area. She noted that the roao should se.rve the land: No right turn off El Camino to the site is a problem. Sh~ thought access for this project should be oft of Wilkie Way. and noted that chjldren need the access for visiting and going to and from school. She stronqly felt that cordoning this ~roject off from neighborhood life would be a mistake. Ms. wilson thought that the character of £1 Camino Real supports this type of ~ensity. she liked the initial approach~ and the strength of the front towers. She suggested possibly softening up the rear. She also s.upported the possibility of clustered units rather than row houses. She ~as for keepinq the proposed seale, tor keeping the texture I so that the units are not too blocky~ Ms. Wilson thought the condition of the neighborhood is deplorable and that this area is now appropriate for developaent. She vas in favor of the zone chanqe. 5/17/90 Page 7 CG • ic> :~- July 19, 1990 HONOR-'5LB CITY COUNCIL Palo Alto, california E[Detry;; pATE FOB CHANGES IN HOUSING ELOO'NT PROGRl\l1$ 9 AND 12 Me.bers of the council: This is an infor.ation itea and no Council action is required or recommended ..

We believe that wh6n you beve carefully weighed the pros and cons of tbis proposal. you .ill find that the balance stroncly favors approval. THE PROPOSAL The Lightner PrDperty Group bas epplied to the city of Palo Alto to chDnge to the Co.~rehensive Plan designation fro. single fa&ily to .ulti family and to change the Zone from 82 to RM15 (or property known as Jacobs Court. The property is located between properties Zoned CS/RW30 on one side and CN/.RJUS/lll an the other side. It consists of 54.497 square (eet and has access potential from both E1 Ca.ainc WaY and froa Wilkie 'ley. A.t present, the site is developed witb 51:1 separate 2 bedroom 1 bath housing units of appro~i.ate17 1000 squ&re feet each. The bouses are in an advftn~ed state of deterioration. They .,ere built in the early 1930's and havp been rental houses durin. the past 60 y~~rs. This .e.orandu. examines the procedural history of the referenced appli~ation, distinguishes it fro. a 1983 request to cbance the property's co~~rehen~ive plen desiKnation. 80d discusses the relative .erits of approvinc the application. PROCEDURAL HISTORY The application and its ar~bitecture bas been the subject of two public hearinag. On June 21,1990. the A.rchitectural Review Board conducted a Preli.inar7 Review hearins re.arding the application, ~iving its d.siKn favorable co •• ents and voting in favor of the proposed zonina cbange. On July 25,1990. the Plannins Co.~ission held a public hearing and voted unanimously to recommend denial lr. spite of a tavorable starf report recom.~ndinc app~oval. A factor .bicb see~ed to stron31y in/lueace the Plannjn~ Comaission's JU17 vote was tbe surprise introduction during the public testi.ony or .invtes fro. s 1983 bearing regarding th~ same property. wh&rein the application to chance its Comprehensive Plan • desi~nation fro~ single Ia_ily to multi-tamily ~a~ rejected. ,~ characterize the introduGtion of these ~inutes as & ~urprjse because even thouch we had inquired tbrough st~rf rega~ding tbe possibility of earlier proposals regarding tbis pt"operty. 'Staff .as unable to locatA any record of, prior official actionS" or hearings. It appeared t<:J us thl!lt the Planning COlll.llllssion assullied that the current proposal was sUbstantielly similar to tbe 1983 request and although at least one Co.missio~~r thQu&ht the hearing should be cODtinued to allow a comparis'On of the two, the Commission voted against the current proposal without benefit of r~vie. of the past reque~t. Having no access to the records of the 1983 request, we were unable to aistinguish it from our own durinc the hearing. THE CURRENT PROPOSAL COMPARED TO l~E 1983 REQUEST Now tbat W9 have bad an opportunity to ~eviey the 1983 request, we can distinguish it clearly (rom our own. We believe the Collowing disc~ssion suppo~ts the conclusion that wbile denial oC the 1983 request was JustiCied. the coabination 01 changed circu~stances and the substantial differences between that proposal and our own warrant the Council's apprQval of our request in s-pite 01 thl! Planning Co •• issioc's recommendation Cor denial. CHAliIGED C [RC\IlIST AIICES 1. Tbe neighborhood bas changed. Since 1983 the .ized use complex «Lhe Ha.mlet) at the other end of El Calaino Way and the sen:lor housing co_plea (Palo Alto Comaons). on~ 10\ removed trom Jacobs Court, have beeD co.plated. G~ound bas recently been cleared to .aka way for 50 s~.i-luxury tcwnhomes and one sin~le fa.ily hom~ at the ather end of El Camino Way and tbere is a .i1ed use proj~ct (Jf 36 condominiuJils (three story) and 10.300 square feet of offices planned for the Mayflower Motel site next door, Other project~ !lIong E] Camino 'l'all are in the planning staKes. All of these changes combine to create an increesin5 justification to bring this properly ~Dto conformity with tbe Deighborhood~s zoning use. 2.

Th.is bas rendered prop~rty less co_petible with its neighbors. allowing and uses to be the :s;ubjec t 3. The jobs housing imbalance has worsened. According to fi&,ures oblained frOM the Associ~tion or Say Area Govern.ents and Bay Area Council. Palo .Uto added 10,618 jobs ~et .. een 1980 and 1990. Ac~ording to the California Department ot Finance. between 1980 and 1989 (1990 ficures not yet available' Palo Alto's bousina stoc~ increased by onlY 1.147 units. According to the current Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan, the net cain in housing stock between 1993 and 1989 was 666 units. Another compelling statistic is the nuaber of jobs co_pared to tbe nu~ber of e.ployed residents. Palo Alto's deficit was 38.401 in 1980 and grew to 42.728 in 1990. Every roasonl!lhle opportunity to add to housing stock aust be taken. · . o o 4. Th~ houses on Jacobs Court have become more functionally ~nd physically ob~olBscent. For e~aDple. ener«y consult6nts tell U9 it is 20% more difficult to bring BIisting houses into compliance with eorrent standards than it was just two years ago. 5. W~ are all .ore aware now than we were in 1983 of the h8r~ful e~onomic and envirvnmenial damage created by increasing commuter traffic. Wbo ~ould have thought in 19B3 that there .~uld be worker c:o.lDuter-s to Palo .41to froD the Central Valley in 19901 Each co •• unity must participate in i_proving rather than exacerb.ting tbe Pt"oble.. [t is vital that Palo Alto provide bousinc o<e-ar public eeans of transportation. j~bs, ~nd day-to-daY conTeniences. SUBSTANTIVE DIFFEREIICES BETWEEJi THE 1983 AIID 1990 PROPOSALS 1. Tbe 1983 proposal to chance tbe co~prehensive plan designation 'r~. single to multi-ramily without an accompanying zone change would have allowed as .any as 53 u~it5 to be con~tru~ted on the property. Our proposal for R~15 zoning allo.s only 19 units. ~. T~e 1983 proposal would have allowed three stories. whereas o~r propos~l for RM15 ~oning Bnd our plans ~all for only two s!ories. 1. In 1983 there was confusioD reCBrciing the are~ comprising the propert, and there W6S unc~rtainty about aecess fl'~. Wilkie lay. We now know the precise area of the property and althouch it is possible to provide vehicular access froM Wil~ie Way, we propose ncne. and our plans so indicate. ". The 1983 request includ.,d no building plans that could b.,. evaluated. whereas our request includes both a plan ~nd 8 ~odsl to de~onstr~te how appropriately our proposed project will blend into th~ neighborbeod. SUKMARY OF CHAJIGED CIRCUKSTANCES AND SUBSTANTIVE DIFFE8F~CES The eyolut ion.. o( the neighborhood and surrounding uses contrasted to the further the improvement deterioration of of tbe existing b~US9S, an ever worsening jobs housing i~b~lance. and a heigbtened aW5reness of the DEed tQ conStirve energy and to not add to the already consested commute traffic co.bine to cre&te /!l 5ub5tantielly changed set of circumstances bet.een 198~ and 1990. T~e diff~rence in scope of our proposal in terms of the nu~ber of possible units. hei,..ht 01 buildings. access (or vehicles. and archilectural style as depicted by our proposed desicn plans and a specific .odel. allow OUT proposal to be considered .ithin a much clearer framework than wa~ the case with tbe 1983 proposal. The difference between a potential 3-story S3-unit complex and our ~ story 19 to~nho~es is substantial. Ule Planning CoIII.ission ...-015 net able to consider all these factors during its July 25th ~evie •• and therefoT9 tb~ City Council is not c~mpe]led to follow the Co~mission's recommendatiDn. RELATIVE MERITS OF APPROVING OR DENYING THE CURRENT PROPOSAL The City Council must .ake an important public policy decision witb regard to Lillhtper Property Group' s proposal to ['edBvslo" the ·Jacobs Court property. [~this case, it must balance the Cit,'s need for additional .oderately priced hQusins ac~inst the anticipGt~d reaction of those who object to changes in the com~unity. The Council .ust consider the site's chBracteristics, its neighbors, each alt.rnative use~s impact on the neiKhborhood. the m~rits.of the proposed project, tb~ v51ue of the current use. the estent to which alternative uses confor. to the housing ele~~nt of the ~o.p~eh.nsive plan and its &0815, etc, We believe our proposed project i5 a s~und snd appropriate addition to the llousins stock -in Palo Alto tor the following reasons: t. Lca"jng the present (R2) ZODe u.nchanged _ill Dot preserve the existinc: rentals. With a _inor elfception, the property co.uld be d~y~loped into six 1~t5, five of whi~b sicbt be duplexes. Without any exceptions. the prope~ty Gould I!lS a matler of right-be divid~d into five lots. atty Obe or all of which could be single fSNily or dupl.~, In either case, existing rentals would be razed~ 2. Leaving the present (R2~ ~one unchanged .ill not guarantee on increase of Palo Alto's housing stoell. Either the present six housin~ units will exist for a lew short years, or more likely they will be ~eplBced b7 much more expensive sin.Ie fa.ily bomes. No incre8se in housing stock will occur unless our request is ~ranted. 3. lea¥in~ the present (R2) zone unchanged .ill not i~prove tbe exi st ing ne i .. hbor}lood. The axistinc houses <It''e deteriorating, and .ill coctinu~ to do so. The r.~rket for e%pensive rentals does not justify the costs of rehabilitation required to save them. t. Leavinc the present (R2) zone unchanced will 8110w, if even for a sbort term, the E!'%i'S-tence of energy inefficient hO'-lsing. The bou~es h&Ya no insulation, no dUBl pane windows~ and, in g~neral are deficient co.pared to current &ner.7 code require.ents. 5.

Palo Alto traffic dep~rtment engineers state that the a.ccess 80S proposed wi 11 not impose an undue safety prabl em. Research &01"& back two years shows n~ accide~ts at this intersection.
