f1~Os that the ~'nQl ErR neit~~r expr~ssly identifies, nor contains an~

project with respect to any of the er.viron~::o~tal impacts dismissed tnrough t~e
scopi~9 process with "no~ responses on Inttial Study 90-EIA-51 (Draft fIR,

SECllON S. Project AlterJJ_ii.1i:r~ __ ~_....:. Tlie City C'Juncil certifies that the
final fIR descrioes a reasonable range of alternati~es to the project. or to
its location. ~hich could fe~sibly obt~in the basic objectives of the project
and that the City Cou~cil has evaluated the comparatille merits of the
alternatives and rejected them in favor of the proposed project as summarized
below:
A. No Project Alternati'~e. ihE City COlJflcil fl'nds that Vd.s
ilte~natfve would ~ot meet the objecti~es of the Y~CA to ~xpand and remodel in
in orderly way~ and cOl1tinue to provide recreational and otner community
seT'llices. Althougn some project s~ecifjc impacts wculd b~ avoided under this
~
,
alterna.th'e. contir\\H!,j operati{J[1 IJf the ex\sUrlg ~MU. fac1HUes could occur
and would be less regulat~d than this project, and thus, would result in the
loss of opportur'iity to address l;)ng-standHig confl iets between the YMCA a~1d
nearby neighbon U;rough mitigation measure'S .3.r'1d conditions of pr'Jjec:t
approvil1. The tity of Palo Alto would aha fO'fgQ any benef'tts that JoI'Ou1d
derive from shifting r';$ponsibilitj for the pro'.ision of recreationa1
opport:.mities to tile non-profit '!MO, , \\11th the consequent municipa1 budgetary
benefits.
B. Reduced-.-O~ . .n'Sity Alternati~'e. Due to the 5mal1 reductions in
traffic volumes and poss~ble mi~ar reductjc~s in the other topical areas
analyzed in the Final ElR, the City Council fjnds th1s alt~rnative
environmentally superior to the pro~u>ed project. Ho~ever, the City Council
finds that this alterrlative wou,d not meet the cbjecti'les of the YMCA to
~xpand and remodel in an orderly way, and continue to provide r€creational and
otner communlty services, becal.<:se program areas could not si:nply be reduc~d in
seop!, but would rather ha~e to be elimjnat~d in whole. Furthermore, no
significant impacts would De reduced Dr eliminated that cannot be mitigated
under the proposed project, Traffic ~lolu;?1e> on Ross Road and other
surrounding streets would be reduced, however, traffic volumes are not
fdentified as a significant impact.
C. East Bayshore Road arld Embari:;.~.dero RCdd Alternati',re. The City
Council finds that althoug~ this alternative (ould meet the objectivEs of the
YMCA and would not result in any signH1Cdnt i!Tlpacts w,",icn could not be
mitigated to an acceptable leLo'f;l~ the sit~ is not owned by or l.mder the
(ontrol of the YMCA and it is unknDwn whether the site would become available
to th'! ,'MeA witMn the tiIT,e frame of the proposed Ross Road facility
expansion.
D. .lH:.s Club Site on £1 Camino Real Alter.n..illy.!!....!. The City Council
finds. that although this alterr'lati'"e C"oul<J meet the objectiv€s of the YMCA and
would not result in any significant impacts which could not be mitigated to an
acceptable level. U1e sHe is not owned by or under the control of the YMCA
and it is unknown whether the site would beco~e awailable to the YMCA within
the time frame of the propo.sed Poss Road f<leility expansion. Furthermore.,
this site was rezoned fur hOJ5irg as a result of the CitY~lde la~d Use and
Transportation Stwdy, and further' re-crcation2ll davelopmer.t (ould preclude t:'e
timely conversion of this site fer much needed hOLising,
E. Alternatives Consider"ed B..\.lt N.QJ:. [valuated. Th~ aHernative sites
~elected for analysis in the EIR w~re chosen based on ~everal criteria:
location within the City of PaTo Alto; sufficient size to accormlQdate the
prop~sed facilities; good site access; and a reasonable potential for
redev~lopment withln the next five years. Several other sites, including
Greer Park, Cubberly Community Center, £1 Camino Park and the old Mayfield
S<~ool site (located at the (or~er of POige M111 Road and £1 Camino} wer~ not
considered to be analyzed in the EIR b~cal'st?, based O!1 previous attempts by
the YMCA to utilize them, they w€re not con.sjder"ed to be reasonably a'o'ailabh
to the YMCA.. The E1 Camino Park and old ~Ia~"field School sites are both under
th~ ownership of Stanford Unl've-rsHy arid ~au1d require: the land to be leasE-d.
In the case of E1 Camirlo Park, the leas.e anount offered by Stanford was beyond
8
the mean:5 of the YMCA, and in the case of He Mayfield School site, Stanford
has expressed an interest in using the slt! for other purposes. The Cubberly
COlTIHunit.y Center continues to be cwned by H,e Pilla Alta S::hool District. The
School Oi:5trkt requirement that facilities bE leased for c term of 25 jlears,
~~th all site improvements re~ertin9 to t~e schoel district at the conclusion
of the lease agreement, was unacceptable to meet t~e needs of the YMCA, since

THE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
Palo Alto, CA
FROM CITY ATIORNEY
Nov~mber 6, 1991
RE: Application or YMCA for Amendment to Vs·e Permit -
Issue of Charging Developers fo~ Cost of Monitoring
Conditions Qf Approval
Dear Members of the Council:
The Planning Commission, in making its reco~endation en
the application of the YMCA, requested that this office, prior to
City-Council consideration of the application, review the legal
issues associate~ with charging developers, or dev~lopment5, for
the cost of monitoring the conditions of approval of development
projects. This report presents a discussion of such issues, and a
recommended ~ra~e~ork for action.
'piscussion
A.B. 3180 (Chapt. 1232, Stats. of 1988) requires all
state and local agencies to establish reporting or lIIonitoring
programs tor projects approved by those agencies whenever approval
inVOlves significant environmental impQcts identified by a
mitigated negative declaration or environmental impact report.
Although A.B. 3180 ~as codified as PUblic Fescurces Code Section
21081.6, the uncodi:.fied portion of A. e. 3180 contained a
legislative p=onounce~ent that ~.B. 3~80 imposed a state-mand~ted
local program I but that no ,state reimbursement would be required:
"becau$e the local agency 4 4 .has the authority to levy service
charges, fees, or assessments sUfficient to pay for the program or
level of ~ervice ~andated by this act." Therefore, the legislative
intent vas to aeterm.ine (it not to formally authorize) that local
agencies have the authority tQ require development to pay for the
cost of monitoring the environmental effects of the development.
Although the Planning Comndssicn TS initial discussion
focused on code enforcement, we advised that the City has fewer
options 'With respect to code enforcement, and the fl,,;.;lding thereof ~
than 'With mitigation monitoring. The City's code enforcement
options are essentially set forth in the Palo Alto Municipal Code,
and take the form of administrative, civil and criminal remedies.
Due process conslaerations limit the City's ability to require. c~de
violators or potential code ..... iolators to fund code enforcement
processes directed at them. The area. 'Where the City can clearly
require devslopment to "pay its own way", and a much more positive

page 2
RE: Application of YMCA for Arn~ndment to U~e Permit -
Iss:.le of Charging Developers for Cos:t of r-!oni toring
Conditions of ~pproval
reason tor including developmen~ as a funding source, is in
'1!'.onitoring; the conditions of approval c!: d..evelo~ment projects~
The most effective method of enacting such a funding
mechanism 'Would be to first adopt an ordinance fonalizing the
City's mitigation !l1.onitoring program. The program could pe limited
to monitoring the significant environmental effects of a project,
as required by A.S. :3180, or it could be broadened too include
monitoring all conditions of approval of a project. The broader
program would include projects for which n~ither an environmental
impact report nor a mitigated negative declaration ~as prepared.
The monitoring ordinance CQulo authorize the imposition of fees,
through the Municipal Fee Schedule, to pay for the cost of the
program. We su99~~t that the fee be an hourly amount, on a time
and materials basis, rather than, fer instance. the pro rata cost
of a staff position~ The ordinance must clearly delir.ea~e the
monitoring function so as to separate it from the formal code
enforcement function. ....hich \tie believe is properly funded by
general city funds.
Surut\ary and Recomm€ndatio_D
The City Coun~il may adopt an ordinance formally
implementing a monitoring program and may include in such an
ordinance authority to impose a fee upon neVi development to pay the
c",st. of such program~ It the city Council desires to implement
such a program, we advise ttat it give direction to staff as to the
scope of such a program, and direct staff to prepare an appropriate
implementing ordinance for futur-e city Council action~
