HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
Pilo Alto, C.11fornia
4277 Miranda Avenue, Application for Zone Change from the
R-J(929), Single family Residenti.l Building Site Combining
Qistrict to the R-f. Residential Estate District
Members of the Council:
RePert in Br1ef
This report relates to an app'icatio~ for a zone changi from the R-l(92S}
District to the R-E District on the 1.5 acre site at 4277 Miranda Avenue. The
site ;$ occupied by Bay HealthCare Corporatiap., a iacked gero-psychiatric
convalesLent center, which is licensed by the Callforn;a Department of Health
Services as a 50-bed skilled nursing facility that provides tntermedfate to
long-term psycniatric treatment for the elderly. Tne facility was a conform
ing use when it was constructed. However, on July 20 9 ]978, during the
Citywide rezoning process, the property was rezoqed from th~ R-E Distr1ct to
tne R-J(929) Ojstrict_ The rezoning rendered the facility nonconforming; and
tne use is scheduled f~~ termination on July 20, 1993, in accordance with the
amortization schedule of Chapter J8,94.070. However, tne City will not
commence enforcement of the termination date, pendfng the rtsolutian of this
application. If the rezoning request is approved, a new ~se permit would be
required for continued operation of the facility. Staff, in the attached May
2], 1993 staff report, recommended denial of the application. The Planning
Commission, on Hay 26, 1993, recommended approval of the application.
The Planning Commission, at its meeting of May 26, 1993, voted 4 ayes~ 0 noes
(Carrasco, Cullen and Glazier absent), to recommend City Council adoption of
the negative declaration and approval of the requested zone change to rezone
tne property from the R-J(929) District to the R-E District based upon tne
findings below. Staff had recommended denial of the ~zoning request. based
upon the revised findings contained in tne attached memorandum to the Planning
COI1IIIission dated May 26, J993, A staff report describing tt,e history of City
actions on the property and major policy issues is attached. Minutes of this
meeting are included in your Council packet~
Heed for the Facility
At the Planning Cammissio~ hearing, one of the speakers noted a correction on
page 8 of the Planning lummission staff report regarding the number of similar
CMR:4J6:93
facilities ir. the area. Tne speaker's informat\~~ was that Cr!stwood ManDr in
San Jose, San Jose Care and GUidance Center In San Jose, and Harbor Hill in
Santi Cruz do not accept peIJpTe ages 18 to 60. Page a of the staff report
indicates that elderly patients are accepted at thes~ factlities. Staff
subsequently ~ontlcted the six facilities t~at are used by tne Santa Clara
County Deportment of Nental Health to plac! patients and determined that only
four of the six facilities (Crestwood Geriatric Treatment in Fr&manl, Westwood
in FretlOnt, Harbor Hill in Sarita Cruz and Valley Care 1 Gllidance Center 1n
fresnoj accept el~erjy psychiatric patfents. Crestwood Geriatric Treatreent
Cent&r In fremont a~ Valley C3re and Guidance Center in Fr~sno are similar to
th~ Bay HealthCare facility, i.e., they primarily accept elderly psychiatric
patients. Westwood in Fremont and Harber Nil' i~ santa Cruz a(cept patients
of all ages.
access Alternatives
The Planning Commission staff report (pages 11-12) discusses the neighbors
concerns related to a(cess and traffic safety. Currently, ac(ess to the
facility fs provided by an 18-foot-~ide section of Miranda Road, which lies
within a 40-foct-wide right-of-way ow:1~d by the City. This access 1!'i shared
by two fla9 lots.
Three access alternatives were discussed at tne Planning Commission hearing.
One alternative is to obtain access through tne cemetery property to the west
directly onto ~iranda A¥enue. Although t~is .lternative would improve the
access by elistnating the snared access and moving the traffic away from the
residential area, the applicants indicated that it is infeasible because they
would be unable to obtain ap~roval from the cemetery owners.
At the Planning C.-mission hearing, the applicants revealed that they are
attempting to purchase the adjacent single family lots at 4283 and 4285
Niranda Avenue. If the lots couid be pUr!hased, the applicants propose to
relocate the existing drtveway to the two flag lots onto the southern portian
of the property at 4283 and 4285 Miranda Avenue (see Exhibit 2 of the att.ched
letter from eay Healtheare dated Hay 22, 1993).
However, the neighbors testified that tne relocated flag lot access would be
unacceptable due to tne traffic and noise that would impact propertfes at 4289
Miranda Avenue, alO Miranda Green and 820 Siranda S~een. In addition, the
neighbors expressed concern regarding the potential to expand the facility, fn
the event that the adjacent single f~~ily lots are purchased. Such expansion
would require rezoning of the adjacent lots.
The third ilte~at;ve was suggested by the Planning Commisslon {see Finding #1
below). [f 4285 Miranda Avenue could be purch.sed by the applicants, the
shared portion of the a(cess corridor could be widened. Tnis would prQvide
i~roved visibility and maneuvering area at the entrance to the facility.
SUbdivjsloo Potential of the Site
As staff indicated at the Planning Commission hearing, the Environmental
Assessment and Planning Co~fssion staff report state t~at tne sit~ arei is
sufficient to potentially be subdi~ided into four to five single family lDts
under the existing R-I(92~) zoning (5 •• page 12 of the staff report).
CIII!:416:93
p: ' .... \4zn.Ir-•• ar
7/22/93
Page 2
However, under current City street star.dards, the site could not be subdivided
~nder ~ither R-) or A-f zoning (i.e .• only one single family home could be
constr\lcted). This is dlJe to the fact tl";at the Ci ty would lIot accept a new
public street within th~ site because the existt"9 40-foot-wide public right
of-way providing access tt tne site does not ~eet minimum City standards.
Thus~ the lots would be considered flag lots, which are prohibited in R-1
Districts under Section 21.20.3GI(a)(3)lb) of the SubdiVision Ordin,nct.
Section 18.04.030(84)(8) of the Zoning Ordinance defines a flag lot .s an
interior lot on which the buildable area i$ located to the r!ar of a lot
abutting i street, and which has access to the same street by means of a
narrow driveway. A driveway is define" under Section 21.04.030(16.1) of the
Subdivision Ordinance as a private minor vehicular right-of-way, t>tner U~a:n a
street or alley, the primary function of wnicn is to provide access to ten or
fewer lots from a street. If tne City amended th. Code so tnat pri,ate
streets are not considered dr;veways~ the $jte could be subdivided.
Findings
1n voting to reconvnem:l approval of the applitation. the Planning Commission
mod1fied the proposod staff fiodings as shown below.
1. Continued operation of the facility under the R-E District zoning
would require a conditional use permit. Issuance of a conjitlonal
use permit would require imposition of c~nditions to ensure that
the use would not ~ detrimental to the neighborhood. Such
conditions of appro,al sight include th. fol1 .. ;ng: (a) signifi
cant soundproofing suc~ as fencing, redesigned patios, sound
resistant windows and walls; (b) purchas. of 4285 ~irand. Avenue
by the applicant to enable the facility to widen the shared
portion of the atcess corridor; (cJ installation of a traffic sign
south of Arlstradero Road indicating that Miranda Ayenue is a dead
end road leading to the subject facility and a single family
neig~borhood; and (d) provision of additional on-site
recreational amenities.
2. Both the R-1 an1 R-[ Districts allow lo"'-density reSidential use, which
is the Comprehensive Plan designation of the site. Rezoning the site to
the R-E District, which allows convalescent facilities as a conditional
use, is also consistent with se~eral policies in the Housing Element and
tne Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) which support
health services for senior citizens. policye in the Housing ElemP.nt ;5
to -encourage and foster a diversity of affordable ~ous1ng opportunities
for senior citizens inciuding hausing which may provide a variety of
services for special ~ealth, social and transIt needs.-Program 19 is
to ·co~tinue support for., .agencies that provide low-, and moderate-and
middle·inco.e housing whlth incorporates facilities and services to meet
health, transit. or social ne!ds of senior Citizens.-The focus of tne
CHAS is to serve ~ery-low-and low-intome indi~iduals, elderly, small
and large families, homeless persons and persons with special needs.
One of the highest priorities in the (HAS is to provide support services
for such households. The CHAS states that the "City intends to pursue
all housing assistance options serving the populations in most critical
need because not all of t~em ~ be accomplished and it is better to
have alternate options, should one approach not be viable due to lack of
CMR:416:93

•. -,
funding or lack of suitable sites for renab1ljtation or new
c9nstruct1on,· The CHAS also states that peopl! at risk of becoming
homeless include elderly people on ft~ed incomes, with increasing
medical and lssistanc~ needs, is well as tho~e with mental disabilities
~tich llmit employment opportu~ities.
3. Since the facility was first opened, the elderly Dopulation and the
mental health practices and the laws governing them have underqone
profound changes. Data from t~e 1990 Census showed that the average age
of Palo Alto~s population is rising. In 1990, perso~s 62 years and
older ~ade up approximately 20 percent of the population. Many State
mental health programs have been reduced. Facing large deficits and
shortages in state funds, many Bay Area count;es~ 1ncl~ding Santa Clara
county: have cut mental healtk budgets in recent years. In this
climate, loss ()f ,private mental health care facilities has a significant
ilRplct on hea.1th eire.
4, There are no other publ ic 0)'" private gero-psychhtr1e hen ities in t!1e
County. If the facility is closed, the residents would ~aye to be
either rel~cated outside of the area or placed in other types of
facilities (e.g., residential (are homes or psychiatric fatilities that
accept patie~ts of all ages or that do not provide lntermediate-to
long-term care). Relocation to distant locations makes it more
difficult for the patients as well as conservators whic~ live in tne
area. There are also problems in placing patients in residential care
facilities because the patients' propensity to ~~nder. and their need
for a structll';"ed environment. ~a.e of the patients wou1d be at risk of
becoming homeless.
Res:OII!lendat i on
If the City Council concurs with the Planning Coomiss;on, the CounCil, based
on the findings a~ye, should adopt the attached ordinance approving the
negat;ye declaration and requested zone change ot the site from the R-I(929)
District to the R-E District.
If the tity Council co~curs with tne staff recommendation to deny tne zone
change, the Council may adopt a ~tion to deny the request based on the
ftndings in the attached memoranoum to the Planning Commission dated May 26,
199~.

reduce the hazard of building failure in the event of a major earthquake.
c. !Qlli. Generation of noise by the facility's patients ~as been a
complaint of some of the surr~undir.9 reSidents in th~ past. This seems to be
due to the close prox1mity of the facility's sundeck and dayroom to the
residences, and the elevation difference betw~en the ~ospltal and the
re!idences (the hospital is significantly higher). A dense vegetativ~ scr~en

continue the use of the property as a convales~ent facility_ However,
rezoning the propert,), t<l the R-[ iJi strict involves; ssues rel ating not only to
the compatibility of the existing use to the surrounding uses, but also of the
compatibility of the rar,ge of potential uses within the R-E Oistrict with the
surrounding uses. Permitted uses in the R-E District include Single family
residentia1 (one single family r~idence would b~ permitted on the property),
home occupations, agriculttJrE', horticulture, garden-ing, sale of agricultural
prodtlcts, reSidEntial care homes, mobile homes. small and large family da,j'
care homes and small adult day care ~ome. The permitted uses within the R-E
District would have less impacts (e.g_~ noise and traffic) compared to the
existing use of the property_
1n addition to convalescent facilities, conditional uses in the R-E District
include cemeteries, churches and religitJus institutions, commercial plant
nurseries, commun:ty center~, day care centers, large adult day (are homes.
outdoor recreation services, private educational facilities, temporary use,
utility facilities and i second detached single-family dwe11ing unit_ The
impacts Df the conditional uses ~ould be e~aluated at the time that a use
permit application is filed and future environmental studies are conducted.
11. population/Housing. Up to five residences could be constructed on the
property under the existing R-l{929) zoning. Under R-E zoning. only on~
single family residence CGuld be constru~ted_ Thus, the rezoning could rEsult
in the loss of four potential residEnc~s.
12. TransportatiDn/Circulation. The facility employees a total pF 31
emp10yees {21 full time and 10 part time employees) on the largest shift for
its 24 hour facility. Studles done of similar facilities suggest that a
total Df 130 vehicular trips/day could be generated by the site over a 24 hour
period. During the PM peak hour, a total of 9 trips could be generated_
Tr~ffic gener~tfQn under R-E lon'ng would vary depending upon the particular
use, The permitt~d US@$ are not exp~cte~ to reSUlt in lddit,onal traffic

2oning; ~.~ ~i~;1e f~mll1 rEs~dine~ could be created. rrlp generation rates
for sin91e family residences are (alculate~ on a 9.5 tr1ps!residence basis.

Sj~e Descriptipn and U5e:
The site '5 located between Miranda Av!n~e and Adobe Creek immediately soyth
of the Altl Me.a Cemetery. 5in91e-f.,i11 homes in the City Of Los Altos .re
located to the east across Adobe Creek. A single-family neighborhood with
appraxi.ately 50 residences, is l~cated to the south.
T~e site contains approxiMately 1.S acres. Due to a steep embankment on the
eastern side of the sfte adjacent to Adobe Creek~ the net uSible area is
approxiaately 1.2 Icres.
The site is occupied by a locked qero-psytniatric convalescent center t~at is
l!censec by the Callfornia Department of Health Services as I 50-bed SKilled
~ursing facility that prDvides inten.ediate-to long-term psychiatric
treatment for the elderly. The treatMent provided is an intensive
renabil1t&tion program for people over the age of 50 with severe impairments
related to psychiatric illnesses. The patients have been djagn~sed as
follow.: schlzophrenil (~), dementia (26~l, bipolar (8%), major depression
(4~), .. ad tra ... (lSl, and characterological (2%). There are a total of 64
employees~ including 45 full-time emplQyees and 19 part-time employees. There
are a totll of 31 eaploye.s on the largest sh1ft (6:00 am to 3:00 pm).
There ~re three one· story buildings on the stte with i tota1 of 13.762 square
feet of floor Irea_ Building ~ cont,;ns 2,333 squ.re f.et for the
adm~n~$trltfve offices and reception area. Building B contains 11;150 sqyare
feet for the ~ospitll and kitchen. A 20-foot wide open recreation area is
loc.ted between Bu1lding A and Bu11ding B. There is .lso • storage building
which contains 279 square feet. AdobE Creek is located along the !astern
border of the property at i significantly 10wer elevation than the remainder
of the site. A concrete sundeck surrounded by a chain link fence is located
on the rear of BUilding B overlooking Adobe Cr~.k.

The site snares a single access (a portion of Miranda Avenue) with the
neighborhood tD the south. Miranda Av&nue runs from Aristad~ro Road south
~pproxirnateTy 3,600 feet where it te~!n~tes. It 1i i 34·40 foot wide
cedicated public right-oF-way improved with a street which ;s approximately 2Q
feet wide adjacent to tne cemetery and narrows as it pr~gresses soul~.
Access to the Site is provided by a 40 foot wide dedicated public rigkt-of-way
(forme~ly Miranda RoadJ connected to Miranda Avenue appro~imate'y 2,000 fe~t
ll/3 mile) SQuth of Arastadero AvenUE. This access is also shared by four
sIngle-famIly lots cc"talning three residences (4281, 4283 and 4285 Miranda
Avenue]. T~e right-of-way serving the Site is improved ~ith an 18 foot wide
street.
Neither Miranda AVEnue nor the public r;g~t-of-way directly in front of the
s1te (foreerly Miranda ROid) meet City standards in terms of street width and
improvements (e.g., there are no sfdewalks). Although thtre 1S a dirt path
along the eastern slde of Miranda Awenue adjacent to the cemetery, there is
intermittent landscaping prDtrudlng into the path which forces p~estrians to
walk into a traval lane. The ~ortion of Miranda Avenue acjacent tD the
cemetery is regularly maintained by the City {i.e., up to i point near t~e
entra~ce of the SlY HealthCar! facility), However, the portion of Miranda
Avenu~ south of the ce.etery is nDt maintained by the C1ty on a regular basis.
A ~arking lot with a total of 28 parking spaces, including one handicap space,
is located on tn~ western side of the site (the Code requires a total of 20
spaces). Access to t~e parking lot is pro~ided by a driveway at the southwest
corner of t~e site.
Reloning P~g4e$t:
Although the convilescent care facility was a conforming use whe~ it was
constructed, it is no longer a conforming use. On Jul~ 20, ]978, during the
Citywide rezoning process, the con~alescent fatility property was rezoned from
the RE, Resldenti.l Estate District to the R-l(9Z9), Single FaMily Residenti.l
Building Site Combining District. This rezoning rendered toe facility
noneonformin9 and the use is scheduled for tenainaticn tn July 20, ]993.
City retards indicate that it was not the City's intention to terminate
operation of the facility when the area was rezoned in 1978. It was assumeJ
at the time t~at the site was part of the residential subdivision to the
south. The entire area south of t~e ceeetery, including the site. was rezoned
from R-E to R-I(9Z9) so that the loning would be conSistent .ith the existing
lot sizes. A review of t~e Planning Co~ission and Cit~ Countil minutes for
the public heari~s during the ]978 Citywide rezoning indicates no discussion
of t~e zoning designation of the site or surrounding area.
If the rezoning request-is approved, a use permit WDGld be reQuired to
conttnue operating the facilfty. The applicant has appiied for the use
permit, however, the applicitiQn has been determined to be incomplete until
actiDn is take~ Dn t~e rezoning request. If t~e use permit is approved, the

~$e pe~1t is ~enied. the property owner could ~se the site for any of the
pe""itted uses "'II the R~I{929) District. or could apply for a IJse permit for
any of th~ conditional uses.
The existing use permit (see 68-UP-ll Ittacne~l contains conditions relating
only to physical site reQuirements and not to the operations of the facility.
If the rezoning ~5 approved and a new use permit is required, the (1tl would
hive the opportunity to require new c~nditiDns to mitigate impacts of the
facility on the neighborhood.
ANAL~'SISOSSM£S
There are three principal Issues in evaluating this application. On~;s the
f~act the loss af the facility would haye on health care in the area. Second
is the effects that potentia1 uses in the R£ District could have on the
adjacent residential properties, including the impacts of continued ~s~ of the
site IS I convalescent facility. The third is an issue of pub~ic perception.
If the City were to reverse itls previous series of land use decisions, the
neighborhood could tend to view that as a -breach of faith-or a -broken
prollise. -The dec.ision on wJ'lethi!r to approve the rezoning shDuld ~igh tile
ilDpacts -mic.h clasing the fat:111ty would have upon local mental health c·'Ire
services w;t~ the iapacts which potential RE uses on the site could have upon
the adjacent restd~~tiil n~ighborhoods. rt is, however, impossible to ignore
the bistory and expectations of the neighbors.
t \t. pol lei es
There are City polic,es supporting both tni! preservation of residenti~l
neighborhoods and the provfsion of health services for the elderly. One of
the objectives of the Housing Element Is to ma.~ntain the character and
physIcal qu.,ity of resIdential neighborhoods_ Policy 1 is to ·~i"t.in tho
generil low-density character of e~isting single-family areas.-The 1968
approval Df an expansion of the facility to sa beds did not include suffiCient
attention to developing a design whicn would .;nimize impacts on nearby and
adjacent single-family residences. The current design is unfortunate because
the facility should have an adeq~~te and separate drivew~ for institutional
truck del iveries, the inst1tut iona.l ized residents should haye higher qual ity
outdoor space for exercist~g in l ~ar.ner which wo~ld not impact neighbors~ and
buffers for priv~cy sbauld exist.
likew1se, the nearby sfngle-f~ily residents d~ not perceive institutionalized
residents and staff to be their ·nelghbors,-and Bay HealthCare nas not

to create distance between the sin91e~family homeowners and the
fnst~tutional,zed residents and ~taff. Even so, the majority of surrounding
single-f~ily neighbors complim!nt the current Bay HealthCare operators on
thei,. management of ttJe faeil it,)'.
The Housing Eloment and the (omprehensi-.e Housing Affordabl ity Strategy (CHAS)
contain policies supporting health services for senior citizens, Policy B in
t~e Housing Element is to -encDurage and fester a diversity of affordable
housing opportunities for senior c,tizens including housing WhlC~ may p~cvide
I varlety of services for special health, social and translt needs.-Program
19 is to ·continue support for ..• agencfes that provide low-~ and moderate
and Middle-income housing which incorporates facilities and services to meet
health, transit, Qr social n~eds of senjor citizen~.·
The focus of the CHAS is to serve very~low and low-income individuals,
elderly~ small and large families, homeless persons and persons witn special
needs. One of the highest priorities in the CHAS is to provide support
services for such hous!holds. The CHAS states t~at th~ ·City intends to
pursue all housing assistance op!l~ns ser~inQ the populations in most critical
need beciYSe nat all of them may b! accomplisned a~d it is better to nave
alternate opt1ons~ shou1d one approach not be viable due to laCK Qf funding or
lack of suitable sites for rehabilitation Qr new construction.-The CHAS also
states that people at riSK of becoming ~cmeless include elderly people on
flxed inc~s with increasing medical and assistance needs as well as those
with mental disabilities which limit emplDyrnent op~ortunit;es.
Heed for the FJcilitv
Since tne facility was first opened, tne elderly population and th~ mental
health practices and the laws governing them halle undergone profour,d changes.
Data from the 1990 Census skowed that the iverage age of Palo Alto's
population is rtsing. In 1990, persons 62 years and older made up
approximately 20% of the population.
It is State policy that the care and treatment of mental patients be provided
fn the local cDaJlunity. During the 1980 PlaMing C<lmmissicm hearing on the
rezoning, the ~orth County Geriatric Team, a mult,-disciplinary group of
professional p~b11c and private agencies in Palo Alto 1 testified that there
were times when they c~uld not make appropriate placements of eld~rly mental
patients because there were no beds available locally. Since that time, many
state .ental health programs nave been reduced. Facing la~ge defiCits and
shortages in state funds, .any Bay Area counties, including Santa Clara
CountYt h.ve cut aenta' health budgets in recent years. In this (limate, loss
of private mental health care facilities has a significant impact on health
care.
Recently, mental nealth care pro~iders in the area were cDntacted to determine
the local mental health care needs and the impact upon mental nedlth services

Qutside of the area or pl~ced in other types of facilities {e.g., residential
care hoaes or psychiatric facilities that accept patients of all ages or that
do not provide intenaediate-to long-term care}. Relocatlon to distant
locations makes it more difficult for the patients as ~11 as conservators
which live in the area. There are also problems in placing patients in
residential care fac1lities because the patients' propens;t~ to Winder, and
their need for a structured envi~onment. S~ of the patients would be at

The applicant has indicated that approximately 33~ of t~e patlents are from
Santa Cllra Co"nty Including 18% from Palo Alto_ Approximately .ne-~.lf of
the patients are veterans. ~ny of these patients require ~dicll care at tne
Palo ~lto Veteran's Administration Hospital which is located north of the site
across Arastadero Road. Although the Palo Alto Veterans Administration
hospital provides psychiatric care, it does not have any intenDPdi&te-to
long-term beds. Any patients admitted to tne Veterans Administration hospital
would be dise~.rged ,fter 30 days.

Cpmoatibjlity of BE Uses with the Adjactnt Sinale-family Nelghborho~
The purpo~e of t~e RE District is to provide ·1ccltions for activities mast
suitably locat!d in areas of very low density or rural Qualities.-It is also
a residential zone which allows uses that are better suited to a larg£r ~;te
than would be allowed in an R-l zone. Tne minim~m lot size in the RE District
is one acre compared to 10,000 square feet 1~ the R-I(~29) District. There
ar~ 1150 differences in terms of minimum site width; setbacks, and lot
coverage. The ~aximum lot (overage in th~ R-I{929) District is 35~ compared
to 25~ in tho RE Oistri<t.
Conditional uses in the RE Oistrict include al~ uses in the R-l District, p1us
conYalescefit facilities. conmerdal plant nurseries and cemeteries. The
discussion below evaluates the impacts ()f the th'!'"ee condit1onal uses
(convalescent fac1lities, co~rcial plant nurseries and cemeteries) that are
allOWed in the RE District but not in the R·I(9Z9j District.
I. Ho;ghborhood Compatibility of tonvalescent Facility
Public he4rings conducted by the ~lan~ing Commission and City Council in 1980-
1982 for i proposed zone cnange and for an exception to termination provisions
generated substantial input from local resi~ents concernfng the compatibility
of the convalescent center with the surrounding residential neighborhood. The
=ajor pOints raised It t~ose hearings as well as recent comments by the
neighbors are sWORarized below (see the attached statement dated April 18.
1993 from the Greater ~iranda Community Association).
Ihtens"ieat1on of Use -Tne convalescent facility has had a history of
expansion. The site was originally a rest hrnm~, but in 1956 ~as permitted to
provide custodial care for ~p to 12 patients wit~ advanced senility ,at that
ti.e. aost of the homes nearest to the facility. including the homes on
Miranda Green, had been constructed; the homes south of Miranda Green,
including those on Moana Court, were constructed during the early 1960's}.
During the 1980-1981 rezoning hearings, the services provided at ~he facility
were described as gerfatric custodial car! with treatment for physical and
psycoological problems of toe elderly. In 1982, the facility had a population
of approximately 501 elderly. ln 1985, Bay Hea1tkCare began operating the
facility and it became a locked facility with a patient papulation that is
al=ost entirely eld&rly. Currently. the ages of patients range from 43 to 93
years, with an average age of 61 years.
The present use is limited t~ 55 beds (50 bods are existing) by Use Permit 68-
UP-134 Any Expansion of the facility would require a use per.it {the
applicant has indicated that there are no plans for expansion].
The City's control over the type of patient care provided it the facility is
limited. The State Welfare and Institutions Cod. (Section 5120) statos that
-no city Dr county shall discriminate in tne enactment, enforcement. or
a~inistration of any zoning laws, ordinances, or rules and regulations
5·21-93
9
. .-.
/
between the use of property for the treatment of general hospital Dr nursing
home patients and the use of property for the psychiatric care and. treatment
of patients, both Inpatient and outpatient.' The Cod. further st.tes that
health ·'ac111tie, for inpatient and out~at;~nt psychiatric care and treltment
shall be permitted in any arej zoned for hospitals or nursing homes~ or in
which hO$)litals and nursil'l9 komes are permitted ny conditiona1 use pel'1l'1it.·
The appl1clnt has staled that? as required by Stah lalli, caution is taken to
accept only those patients whom they can provide adequate (ire ind that
patients are accepted co~dit1onal1y. Patients that have been admitted
conditionally and that subsequently v101ite the admission crlteri~n are
discharged baCK to the agency t~et admitted them. Violent-prone patients are
not atcepte:d.
Change in Operator· Since a u~e pe~it runs ~ith the land. the particular
operator cannot be r~gulated by the City (i.e., the use permit cannot be made
non·transferrable}. Some af the resident~ complaints regarding the facility
nave centered around patient ~uperv1sJon by tne facility's ~arious operators
o~er the years. Nost rfsidents were satisfied with Mental Healtn ~anagement.
!~C. whicn leased the facility from Mrs. ~oumans. S~bsequer.tly. the facility
was operated by Mrs. 'Youmans durirtg wh:1ch time there were increased complafnts
by the neighhors and the facility was closed b1 the State in June 19S~. In
late 1985, Bay HealthCare began operating the facility (s •• the attached
$t~tement by the ap?licant which eKpl~in$ the recent mana9ement ~istory). The
attached stateaent fro. the Gre.ler Miranda Community Association indicates
that Bay Healt~care Corporation has brought good management to th! facility.
However, the neighbors cDntinue to be concerned about potential cnan~es in
operators which could ~sult in the return of poor ~anagement (see t~e
~ttached stateaent from the Greater Miranda Community Association}.
The applicant has r~sponded to these concerns by stiting that poor ~nagement
of facilities i$ no longer tolerated by the state or federal government (see
the lttaehed ,talement from tht applicant ~lch contains ~espon$es to the
comments by tn. Greater Hiranda Coornunity Association). The Department of
Health Services would require any new operator to be approved by t~e licensing
and Cert1ficatfon Oivision. In addition, the applicant indicates that any
state Qr federal regulatory surveyor (i.e., Weterans Adminlstration 9 State
Department of Health Services and the State Department of Me~ta' Hea1tn) car,
1nspect the facility at any time to determine compliance with regulations.
DeSign and locotlon of the Facility -Owring the public h.arings, some of the
neighbo~s suggested thlt the facil~ty contains insufficient outdoor SPiC~ to
reasonably icc~ate the recreational needs of the patients and therefore
the recreational needs can only be met outside of t~e fac11ity. T~e attac~ed
statement fro. t~e Greater Miranda Community ASSOCiation suggests t~at tne
existing facility is too large for the site and too cl~se to adjacent
reSidences. As previously stated. the facilit~ design is lacking in many
features which wo~Td have ~ade it a better neighbor i including an independent
driveway, sufficlent private outdoor recreatlon space and buffers to the
single-family nelgnbors.
5-21-93

Security . W1t~ th~ ~xception of the driveway, the facility is secured with
chain link fences. In the past, resid~nts have noted problems with patients
entering their properties. Sjnce Miranda AVen"J! is a dud end street, any
patients heading south will prohably enter private residentfal property. The
applicant has indicated that the pr~blem has been reduced by better
super~ision and by i~Dlementation of updated State regulatory procedures.
Police Department records indicate that there were 64 total police service
ca1ls to the facility over the past three year~, Including 35 missing person
reports (Le., approximat&ly one missing persons repol"t/montn). The Pol ice
Department has indicated that they also receive missing person reports from
the Veterans Administration nospital which has short-to int!rmediate-term
beds for psycniatric patient5.
Noise -During the 1980-1982 hearings, some of the neighbors suggested that
the facility is not ade~uately buffered from the neighbors and, consequently,
n~ise made by patients (e.g., shouting) int~udes on the neighborhood. The
lett~r from the Greater Miranda Community Association also addresses this
issue. The sundeck of the facility is appr{lximately 60 feet from the ,learest
res1dence. Tne facility :$ higher in elevation than tne residences which
tends to increase the noi~e impacts. During the 1980 hearing regarding the
rezoning, O~e neighbor approx1Mately 300 feet from the facility compla;ne~
about noise from traffic and patients when a wind f~om the north prevails.
The applicant has 1ndicated thit the sundeck is no l{lnger used by patients.
If the rezoning is approyed and the applicant applies for a use penmit to
continue the ~xisting use, I condition of approval could reQuire that the
facility be redesigned to eliminate the ex!sting sundeck and to provfde
outdoor space in another location. The applicant has also suggested that Bay
HealthCare would welcome tills from "eighbors regarding noise.
Acees5/Traff\c -Tne attached statement from th~ 6reater Miranda Com.unity
ASSOCiation cites two concerns related to traffic safety. The first concern
relates to the use of Miranda Avenue as an area to walk tne pat;ents~ Since
th~re is no exis.ting sidewalk on Miranda Ayenue~ caution must be used when
driving past the line of patients being exercised as to avoid an accident.
The second concern is the US! of Miranda Avenue by commercial vehicles
servicing the facility which results in traffit safety conce~ns due to the
narrow width of the .treet (20 feet) and the lack of side.al's.
T~e public right-of-way providing access to Miranda Avenue is shared by B~
Healthc.re and four sing1e·falllily lots containing three residerlces (428], 4283
and 4285 Miranda Ayenue)_ TraffiC impacts on the neighborhood would be
reduced If the access to the facility could be provided d;r-~tly from Miranda
Avenue across property which ;s currently owned by Alta Mesa Cemetery. Staff
has discussed the ~ossibillty of obtaining direct access for the facility from
Miranda Avenue through the cemetery property. However, the appiicant has
indicated t~at this ;s not feasible.

-"" .
At present, Bay HealthCare employs 64 persons who work in 3 shifts o ..... er a 24-
hour period, 7 days a ~eek. Deliveries of food and ser~ites a1so add to the
traffic gc~erition. Studies don~ of similar faeilfties suggest that i total
of 110 vehicular trips/day could be generated by t~e 5;t~ over a 24-hour
per106. ~ring the PM peak hour. a total of 9 trips coyld be generated.
The existing faciltty generates a similar amount of traffic that would be
generated by 14 single-ramily residences. Trip generation ~ates for si"91e
fa.ily residences are calcu1ated on a 9.S trip/residence basis. Under the
eK1.t;ng R-I(929) lon1ng •• w •• 1m"" of four single-f.m;ly homes could be
constructed on the site (the attacked Initial Study ;ncarrectl~ states that up
to five residen~es could be constructed ~nder R-I(929, zoning; however, since
the n~r of unfts which could be const~cted is less, a Negative Declarati~n
is still appropriate). Under the requested RE zoning. a maximum of one
sinQle·f~lly residence could be const~ucted en the ~ite.
Sewage -The statement it~m the Greater Miranda Community Association
indicates that there is a continuing sewage problem w~tn overflows occurring
periodically in front ~f the neignboring house at 4281 Miranda Aver.ue. There
is I -anhole It tkat l~cation which serves all of the remainlng Miranda Avenue
area. From this manhole? the sewer line runs to the subject facility and into
the City's di,stribution system a1Mg Mirarlda Avenue. The Util Hies Division
has indicated that the sewer line is adequate to serve the convalescent
facility and tkat previous problems ha'le be!" remedied (i .e. ~ there has not
been i stoppage in the line since 1985).
2_ Nel9hborbood C .. pat1blllty of COomerc1al Plant Nursery
A ccmI@rcial plant nursery is anot~er conditional use in the RE District ~hi~n
is not per.itted in the existing R-l(929} zoning on the site. This use could
generale si.ilar traffic levels as I convalescefit facil;t}. BaSEd on the
Instlt.to of TraffiC Engineers (ITE) trip generation stand.rds (85.6 daily
trips/acre), a nursery (garden center) on the site could generate
appro.lutel,. 103 vehicle trips/day and 14 PM peal< hour trips, compared to 130
da;ly tr~ps and 9 PM peak ho~r trips for the eXisting convalescent facl11ty on
the .1te.
1n addit~Dn to traffic impacts I cOl1Percial plant nU'l"series c.an have noise and'
dust iapacts on adjacent residential areas, Although these impacts can be
substantially mitigated through proper site planning and conditions of
approval, there are several existing houses in clos~ proximity to the site
which could be impacted by this commercial use. In addition, there are no
si.illr commercial uses in the Vicinity. The specific impacts of a COMmercial
nursery would be evaluated at the time tnat a use permit applicatiQn is filed
and env1rorn.ental stUdies are cQnducted.

3. NeIghborhood Coapatibility of 'emet.ry
1f tne property were to used as a cemetery, it would probably be developed as
an expL1sion ~f the Alta Me$~ Cerr~tery. If this occurred, access wo~ld be
provided from within the existing cemetery. This use would not have
signif1cant impacts upon tr,. adjacent neighborhoods.
BEt(l!1E:NpATION
Staff recommends t~at the Planning Commission recommend denial of the
requested zone change to the City Council based upon t~e following f1nd'ngs:
1. Two of the three conditional uses (convalescent facilities and
commercial plant nurseries} whic~ are allowed in the RE District but not
in the R-l(929J District produce vehicular traffic significantly in
~xcess of that generated by the adjacent single-family neighborhood.
Access to the site is limited si~ce it is provided by a sfn91e, narrow
(20 foot wide) dead-end road {Miranda Avenue). Miranda Avenue is shared
by a single-family neighborhood, laCKS sidewalks and does not meet City
standards. 1n add1tfon~ the ~ite does not have ~ separate driveway onto
Mir~nda Avenue but shares access w1th three single-family homes. Thi$
access 1$ better suited for US!S which generate iess traffic than
coraercial ~lant Ilurseries or convalescent uses.
2_ The operating characteristics of two of tne three conditional uses
(~DnVa'e$cent facilities and commercial plant nurseries) that are
allowed In the RE District but are not allowed In the R-I(929) District
are not compatible with the adjacent single-family neighbo~hoods in
tenMs of hours of operation. numbe~ of employees, and types and hours of
deliyery.
3. The existing facility is not adequately buffered by the neighbors and,
consequently, noise made by patients intrudes on the neighborhood. Tne
sunde~k of the facility is approximltely 60 feet from the nearest
residence. The facility is higher in elevation t~an the reSidences
which tends to increase the perceived ~oise impacts.

Dear Mr. Schubert,
RECEIVED
I~AY I G 1993
I am writing in m;poose to the zoning changes thai .,.i11 be occurring at 42n
Miranda Ave., which is the site of Bay HealthCare Corporalion - a geriatric facility
spedatjzjng in intmncdiate to long-term care (or individuals experiencing organic or
functional iJnpainn<nIs.
For the past " yean I have been employed as a Mental Health Worker at Bay
HealthCare. Prior to my employment I received graduate training in Clinieal
Psy<:hoIogy iIeR> as well, and can thus attest 10 tbe valuable services Bay HealthCare
provides to surrounding cdIeces and !be community at large. However, thai is not the
pu1lIOOO of lhisleaa'_
I have read with gR2l interest the bistori<:al context f ... the desired cbanges
prepuIld by Mr. N'Jeloon, as well .. the =t eon=nsexptessed by some of our
Miranda:>eigbbon. Upo!I readi.'1g these COIK'emS I reaIiz.ed that the issue at hand lies
not with ensuring !be safety of neighbors, and residents of Bay HealthCare, but with a
mucIt larger issue thai is ~ fought in similar communities across our naIfun.
All of !be c:oncerns thai were exP'''"'"'' by our neighbots can be ....,1y assuaged
with oduc:ation and und<n!anding in tdalioo to the field of mental bealth. For
ClWDpie, tbere was a fear that Bay HealthCare might ev<ntu.oily booome a rehabilitation
oo.piJaI or an acute oetting that would treat potenliaDy vWlmt patients. Such.
ttansfonnatioo in <l<'li...-y of IICtYi= is just not eoonomicaIJy or pIIysically feasible.
The size and type of staffing and """'" that is required, as well as the rnedicaI
equipment and services!UCb r.ocillJies demand, is just not jJOSSlble given !be size and
location of Bay HealtbCare.
At>oIher issue that arose invol.ed the .. etcising of resid<ntS-Ooe neighbor
~y concluded thai the =son Bay HealthC3re exercised n:sidents or Miranda
was the result of insufficient "I""'" OIl facility grounds. The IeSidents of Bay
HealtbCare are similar to many of the neighbors ""'" walling along Mitanda, they 100
enjoy g<Uing out from the confines of their horne and experiencing a cbange of
"""""Y .
As I mentioned earlier, !be i...., lies DOl with !be oafety of neighbors and
tesidonts, flicility me in relation to the .. etcising of resid<nts, ot the phymeal wear and

tmr on the environment For each of the concerns that are IlItionalIy and realistically
countered llnd put I<> rai, new ones will ari~ 10 fill their VlK'8IIcies. The latger issue
that need! I<> be r=gni:ed and _, and which we are confronting .t Ibis time,
is the .-! of indi\iduaJ. 10 feel elite from others throogh sobU. and JlItionalizod
di5criminalion. Much like the debates that rage over the proposed sileo for ne ..
prison" so it is with faciliti .. ca!e!ing to individual. with funaional and organic
impairmeIlts. W. all agree that we need them, just "not in my backyard." There is a
SIigmalization """';ate<l with such buildings, and every community wants to avoid an
.. .,...;atjon willt prUons, rdlabilitalion hospitals, and psychWric facilities. But if not in
"my backyard" tbeo_7
The elderly repn::oent the fastest growing ... gment of our pupu1atioo in the
UniJed States, and with advancing age <:omes incroascd problems. So, with so many
elderly penoo. who will be requiring &SsisIance with their daily lasks of living, wbere
do we inlt:Dd to bou!e them. Palo All<> is noted for its cultural and ethnic divc:rsily, as
we!I a.s;I!I loIerance for aItemaIe !ifeslyl... Yet the very basic of need!: providing
1tousiIIg for our elderly with functional and emotional difIicultics is met with .!launch
resistance.
Bay HealthCare, like so many other businesses in Palo Alto, has much to offer
the rommunity that goes beyond financial revenue. Howev..., the most impol1ant issue
i. cneri ........ ; we bave enjoyed a quiot and barmoaious reIationsbip with our neigbbon
ovu the put number of yean. All that is ......., is • bit more objectivity, open

The residents pose no tbreat to tr.e co~munity. Their offense

Greater Miranda Community Association
CODcems Surrounding the Miranda Ave. Hospital Zonlng Change
From a meeting held on 14 April 1993 carn-e 3 list of concerns expressed by the Miranda
Area residents about pos5lble interferen<e with the pending zoning ciwJge associated with
the facility opemred at 4277 Miranda Ave. They are
Land U ..
-The present facility is simply too large for the site and too close to adj !l.c.ent
residences.. A SO+·bed hospital on a roughly I Acre site leaves no room for patient
recreation and is DOl at all consistent with an R-l neighborhood. Worry exists about
whether there are guaranteed limits on the size of an R-E zoned facility
-If the zoning temtination is mtenupted and the property proceeds to R-E use, we
understand there is no ability on the pan of the neighborhood 0' local government to
regulate the 1cin.d of bea1thcare to be provided at the site. Obvious worries arise
about uses such as drug rehabilitation or the management of violent-prone patients.
-There is.some concern about the use of the present undersized, blind-c..{'lmered, and
SO~ say private driveway for commercial vehlcuiartraffic. CenainIy the drivewilY
is DOl maimained by the Ci'y
-At least one resident was assured by 'he City, before buying their home, ,hat the
zoning would expire in 1 g,93. This was an important inctor in their purchase.
Sewage
~ There is a continuing sewage problem with overfiollrlo'S e,ccurring periodlcaHy in front
of & neighhon1ood house.
Facility Management
-Over the life ofth. facility there nave been periods _e serious management
problems have brought very negative impacts to the neighborhood. Residents
anywhe,-e near the facility have their stories '0 tell about psychiatrically iropaired
patients standing in their doorways. Incessant shouting from patients and staff,
alarms in !be night are examples. On O<CaSiOD the staff of the facility have also
caused problem.. Testimonies of the>< problems are available if oeeded
-l! 1IlliS! be said that BaY';ew Heaitheare Corporation, the present operator, has
brought good management to the facility and the number cf such instances is now
very low. But, it is this fear of poor management retum.i.'g and the housing of
unmanageable patiems that make !he neighbor.; feel they must not risk the fUture
Safety
-Two aspects of safety arc produced by the narrow, Miranda acoess road that serves
the facility and aD of the neighbothood. The first is the use of the entrance road to
ex:ercise the patients because there is no room OD the facility's lot. Extreme cautiOD
must be wed when driving past the line of patients being exercised so as to avoid an
acci-dent. The second aspect is the use of the same narrow roadway by commercial
vehicles sen.icing the facility

A Cb ro"ology of tbe Miranda Ave. Hos pital Dis pute
Some recaps from two City Staffrepons IO the Plantting Cammlss.ian, dated 6 Nov,
1980 and 25 May 1982
-Before use permits were required as part of Palo Alto's Zoning Ordinance, there
was. 15-bed convalescent hospital at 4277 Minmda operated by tho Youmans
since 1953.
-In July '"~ September of 1256, the Santa Clara Planning Commission permined
expansion of the Miranda Ave. facility for six and twelve '"ambulatory patie:'lts"
respectiveiy
-On 24 June ) 95_~ the subj<Ct property was annexed to Palo Alto and zoned R-E
-On May 23 1 ~.1 the Zoning AdministratoT granted a use perrnlt to the Youmans
to remode] and explUld the facility to a 34·bed private hospital This was never
built.
-In Allgng of 1968, a use permit was filed v..ith the City to demolish the existing
rest home and construct a new 58-bed private hospifal (rest home), On 27 Sep
the Zoning Admmistruor denied the p""'lit because of. f.Hure to demonstrate
that the 153 % increase ·wcuJd not be detrimental to adjacent property· On
appeal both the Planning Commi .. ion and the Councilappcoyed the expansion for
a maximum of 52-beds
-When the City zoning map was adopted on 20 July 1978, the dosignation fo< the
propeny was changed from R-E to R-l and "the exi~ting convalescent hospital
became a nonconforming use," [Given the recent bevy of 199J tenr.ina!ions for
nonconfurmi'lg use. it appean that • I I-year conforman<:e period was granted.]
Both Staffreports were to prepare the Planning Commissioo for subsequent !tearings.
• Conrouction of the .,.." 52-bed building was completed in 1972 and Ope1l!ted by the
Youmans as a convalesunt care facility.
• On 24 Jane 1980, ;,Iema! Health Management, a health care provider, signed. I ....
for the taciIity as part of. 3-year effort by Sanu Clara County to establi,h a rehabil
it.tion prognun. MHM was awvded • contract but when they identified the Minmda
tacility as their choice, the County requited more sp~ for administration be added
After so_ inwchanges with the City Planning Dept, ,he Zoning Administrator
advised Pine Creek Center on 10 Oct 1980 to Mthdtaw it petitiOll !'or a conditional
use pemUI and apply for a zoning change to R-E. The new application was subm,;ned

amendment to the Zoning Ordinance be made and., 1)y a 5 -2 vote., to again recommend
to the Council a R-E rezoning
The COUllCJl took this up at its 2.1l!!Y.l981 meeting. Priorto this meeting An Rinsky
had written two letttrs to the CounGu supporting the llSoe of a zorring amendment that
protected the long-term interests or the neighbors and declaring that the County did
NOT require the expansloll stipulated in the application for re-.loning. The Council's
packet also had 17 letters from tile residents rejecting th~ rezoninS. The Council
voted 11--1 that no am~dment to the Zoning Ordinance be approved that allowed
"expansion of nonconforming uses that provide health care services·
• On lQ.&ril 1982 Eula Youmans, the owner of the propeny and the facility applied to
the Planning Department for a,". exception to the temtination of noncomfomring use.
On 11 Mav 1982 the Planning Commission notified the residents of a hearing
scbeduled for 26 May 1982 concerning the Youmans' application
The 25 May Staffprep.aratory report to the Commission (and referenced at the

single document summarizing ,he situation)
• Notes indicate that the Planning Commission unanimously denied the appjication on J.Q

cl.arification during that meeting was that it v.as the ·convalescent facility" that was
nonconforming. Other uses under R·I sucb as day care or a. private school were okay
• In the Council's 19 July 1982 meetingarequest for continuance, because of Mrs

Rutledge and internal debate, the Council approved the conlinuaJ:ion, by 6-3 vote, until

Discussion and Consideration
of the
Greater Kiranda C~ity Association
Concerns SUrrounding the Miranda Avenue
Hospital Zoning Chanqe
Mr~ Nielson providt;'s an extensive chronology of the historical re-
zoning attempts and other issues in public fil~. The last issue
regarding the Hospital was eleven year~ ago. Bay HealthCare Corporation
took O'l2r t}-le Hospital operations sever. ypars ago.
It is our, :Bay r.ealthCare's, und-:rstanding that Mrs. Youmans and
couns"!l. duriN! thE' previous rl;c'-zoning attempts, failed to appear at
seversl of the hearings.
The lut issue addressed in the c/"lronology is "s lawsuit filed
against the City wa.,S dismissed (in 1988). Bay HealthCa:re Corpcation has
no infonnation nor involvement in the matter. The lawsuit issue is a
surprise to learn about.
The historical-past h~s had a bad effect and has lasted vith
continued paranoia regarding thp. opera~ion of the Hospital vithin the
general community area. Meny of these ~tt&rs could haYe been discusse~
with the community to settle and or lesson their fears of cnnc~cn. etc.
The laws, codes, regulations and the enfor~ement of same have drastically
changed over the last five years. I ..,ill address the.!e changes and how
the industry is managed ~nd r~6ulatory compliance is assured.
The present conr:erns of the Greater Miranda COlTlTlunity Association
add!'"essed four basic ar@'as; Land Use. Sen.ge. Facility rtanagement. 8Tld
Safety.. These issues are elso of c:oncern to u!. Bay BealthCare. AS -well.
Land Use.
a. "'The present. f«ility is siapJy too large for the site .•. A
50+ bed hospit.l on iii roughly 1 Acre site ... " (re. Nielson).
a.1. This is not true. The acreage is closer to 1.47 acres. The
Hospital is a licensed 5.0 bed facility in acc.orda.nce rith the
requir.ements of Title 22 and 24 of the Cal. Code of Regs. I believe the
Planning Department has information regarding this issue.

b. "'ltorry exists about: arb.!-tller there are guaranteed In-its on the
.size of the R--6 .zoned facility'" (re. Nielson).
b.1. The Hospital i9 situat>'!'d., see zone map at Exhibit "Alt.
betw.een a cemetery and the area which i9 a long finger extending a
con:!!iderable distance wni(:h encomp.e.!'l!!~s the area of residents in the
Greater Miranda C~~ity Assc~iation. There are six resident lots which
have direct siaht or sound effect from the Hospital: they are 4281. 4283,
4285, & 4283 Miranda, and BI0, & 820 Kiranda Green. Of these $ix plots,
we hope to purchase 4285 a~d 4283 trom the Trust. Thereupon. there a~e
four fltmilies that have e direct dfec::t. The t'lo"O lots we hope to
purchase will be improve<! and leased ot.:t as residential or sold as &
home.
b.2. If there were residential sites on the Hospital Ie-cation
(4271). in time t_here v'Ould be complaints about the infestation and
smells coming frOlU the cEm')etery maintenance area.
b.3. The Hospital is a good tJuffer between the GTeater Miranda
Community Association and the open land of thE cemetery and the toad
(Miranda) on to Arastradero Road.
b.4. OVer the last seven years that Bay HealtbCare has been
oPErating the Hospital, we have attempted to have the reaidenta in the
area visit the facility. Some ha?e and many have not. Neither I. nor
any member of the Bay HealthCare staff. has been esked to meet vith or to
join the Greater Miranda Community A~sociation. to wit we are a memb~r of
said communi ty.

c.l. I cannot answer the zonir:-' conditions and limitations issues
this is a City issue and there is federal and state president law
regerding same. However, I am very well versed in the issu~s regardini
the regulation of "the kind of h~lth care to he provided at th~ site*.
c.2. A Health Care Provider in the State of California is
regulated by the Department of Health Services. Licensing & Certification
Division. The federal and state codes. regulations. and interpretations
are extensive. The health care industry has bec~ 90 regulated that any
federal or state regulatory surveyor can come into a health ce.re pro .... ider
at any time and find something in non--complience, this is such an
exteDsjve item, that I could writp. an additional ten pages. I could have
educated the Greater Miranda Community Association on these matters over

cases of unusual occurrences are reportable to the Department of Health
Services pursuant to Sec. 72541. To give the reader an indicatbn hoy
delic.ate patil:!!nts rights a.nd care a!'e. lets give an example or two for
discus~ion and compaTison~

72523). The treatment ordered by the physician would be done and a
report t.o the Department of Health Services initiated. since the fall is
an occurrence which normally does not happen (re. seq. 72541). The
Department would send a surveyor to the Hospital to review matters to
insure all regulatory requirements were met. However, above in paragraph

d. Ll. Lets take another e.xan:ple~ 'Which i~ more in li!le with the
general .re~ of the Rpspitel and tbe Miranda Avenue community.
d.l.l.(a)~ Mrs. "5 N is valking her infant child in ~ baby carriage
and her five year old 90n is on his bike. The son has his hp.I~t on, but
is unsteady in its operation. A car passes the walkers and the son falls

d. L 1. (b). Lets changE the situation to 8ay HeaIthCare patients
being on i! 'Wdk. First ofC, only patients who have a physician's order
(re. seq. 72303) and the outing must be care-planned (re. seq. 72311 &
72315) and adequate staff supervision provided (re. seq. 72329, 72443.
72445, 72453, " nI.j65.). The care and treatment would be in accordance
with paragrapb d.!.Cb} .• G~Ye. The verbal abuse given by Hr. "S". if a
staff ~r of the Hospital would be a violation of Patient Rights (re.

could also be in violation.
d.1.2. Lets take another example. .Hr. "B" is screaming at his

Hospital would "'''e"lc:ome a call from the neighbors regarding the nois~.
Upon c neighbor calling the Hospital, an Event Form vould be completed.

be addre~sed. The neighbor complaint would initiate 8 second Evant Form.

e. -there .is SODe concern .bout the use at present undersized~

vehicular traffic'* (re. Nielson),
e.1. Traffic down Miranda Avenue from Arastradero to the entrance
to the Hospital has always been a problem; however. this is everyone's
concern and responsibility. The traffic coming from the South end Df
Miranda Avenue tovard Arastradero is also a problem. Miranda AVer,ue is II
long road for some to travel and many people go over 25 miles per hour.
e.2. Commerci~l traffic on the road is not limited to the Hospital
use or purpose, There is not a week that goes by wherein a commercial
vender or delivery servic~ is not looking for an address that is on the
other side of Arastradero. The most asked for location is the Tennis
Club. The Eospital has also assisted large trucks aell.verin!l to
residents do'iot'll Miranda Avenue in recOITmlending they turn at. our driveway
and our maintenance department ""ould B33ist them in grour.d guiding the
trucks back down Miranda 'Close to the heme which they are making a
delive.ry. The Rospital staff has also ansisted private vehicles looking
for homes. churches and synagogues in the area.
e.3. The rights to the private drivevay off of Miranda Avenue into
the Hospital and further down the access read has not been a problem to
date. The Hospital has never received a complaint from the neighbors or
the police regarding the matt1!'r. It. is my understanding from the City
PlaIlP.ing Department that the access from Miranda Ayenue to the entrance
to the Hospital is a City of Palo Alto roae. From the Hospital entrance
dowr. the access road is the joint property of ~2al and 4283. This issue
is veIl shown on the plot map provided by Mr. Nielson.

e.2~ If the Greater Miranda COnUtou.llity Association had Bay

understanding our Hospital and our type of patients. H'e could have
handled their c01Dp!aints immediately and reported back to them an our
corrections. It is interesting to note, we have a Resident Counsel. The
patients express their concerns to Hospital management and we also report
back to the R.esident Counsel of our corrections and modification to

Assoc!..OIlUon Concerns.
f .1. Again, f':lor communications between the Associ:.ltiC'n and the
Hos:?ital. "Poor managem~:'t" is ,'!!so a concern of the Legislature, the
Depat'tment of Heal th SerYic~.:, the D@partment of Health ~nd Human
Services. and U5.
f .2. The Long-Tern Care industry is th~ most regulateC! f,&a!'ltb car,;;
provider of services 'in_ the .Natiou today. At p.L'~sent, 83 I type t"his
paper, I am in Sa~ramento doing a health care recei\ler:i~ip of a facility
that WBS not gi'll'ing proper care to its residents. The r-eg ... l.dions heve
changed over the years. The poor management of fa~ilities is n~ longer
tolerated by the state nor federal government.
(.3. The Ro.spital is better p,ep.a~ed fOl any event than any
household in the general area. In the event of any form of disaster. our
Hospital would ~ontinue to operate. ~e have emergency poYer and
.cupplies. What would happen if a home in t:.h~ Miranda Avenue area fell
into the creek (whid-I could happen)? We could YeU assist the
nei8hborhOQd~
f .4~ Lets return to "how can we protect from a poor management of
a Bospita11" Excellent question!
(.4.1. First off. I have no int13-ntions of not continuing Bay
He41thCar~ Corporation. I'm very family oriented as is our Hospital. 1
am very dedicated to ~ patients and my staff.
f .4.2. Bet let!! examine. if I lease the Hospital to anoth~r or
sell the Hospital. The iJepartment of Health Services requires a new
Licensee/operator to be approved by the Licensing & Certification
DiYision prior to issWince of a license and certification tor iitle XVII
and XIX programs (Medicare and .Hedi-Cal). Generally, a new providu
yould be issued a "Provisional License" and within six months the
Department wocId survey the facility for !"~glJlatory compliance. There
after the Department surveys the Hospital ann~ally. If the Hospital has
a speeial treatment proguJII, such .as Ye haire, the Department of Mental
Health also surveys. If the Hospital has a VA contract such a.s ve have
again, ~~otheT $urvey by the VA staff.
f .4\0.3. The issues and concerns of the Greater Miranda Coomunity
Association are hi.$tary~ The regulations and codes have been ever
cn.anging as shown above. The credentialing of a nev-licensee/operator-
(thought not likely) is more detailed and refined tb.'1n wher. took over
the Hospital, much less during the time period of Mr. Nielsons'

a.b. ·Second aspect is the use of the s.aztE narrOtl roadlray by

a.b.l. Again, thi~ issue was addres~ed aboVE.
a. b.2. COlIIlKIrdal vehicles are ge~er'&l1y more sensitiv.e-to the
issues of a narrow roadway. We have not experience~ any ac:idents or any
other type of mishaps over our tenure in the Hospital.
a.b.3. Commercial traffi~ ~euerally is safe going and coming into
the Hospital. The only concerns ve have had aTe the delivery services
using the road. and mainly the vehicles which are lost and cannot find
the Tennis Club or ~ther operation on the other sid~ of Arsstradero. We
get a number of :!.~-= del~.-.Ery services lookin.@ for dire("tions. In fact.
the HospitAl is a n1~' buffer to the Greater Mira.nda Community
Association members, because ve intercept and redirect them. A delivery
!5oervice is more apt to come into a business location and ask direction
than to go to a home in the area.
Another aspect of safe'ty and security in the area is that the
Hospital staff York. three shifts a day seven days a week. Some
employees staIt an hour before ot: an hour after the traditional shift
start times. We have notice some vehicles which either have been lost or
otherwise going curiously slow. I believe the Hospital staff ingrair.ed
.attention to safety. security. etc., is a good buffer for the homes
further down Miranda Avenue. The road way ot Miranda Avenue is basically
a rural road and dark at night. With the Hospital staff frequenting the
first part of the road way places additional eyes around the clock,
basically. and any questionable matter can be brought to tne attention of
the authorities.

THE PAST
TO THE PRESENT
In June 1985, John C. Bird, organi2ed a California
corporation known as Bay Healthcarc Corporation.
Bay Healthcare corporation cane abOut when ~. Bird was
cuordinatinq a consulting 8qreement with Mr. Youmans
regarding his Saratoga s~illed nursing facility. the day of
Mr. Birds first appolntaent to discuss the matte~sf the
Department of HQalth ~rvices, Licensinq , ~ertification

ski~led nursiLq facility. Mr. Bird also applied to the
oepartment of Mental Health for approval of the fa~ility as a

california Code of Regulations. This approval was received
at'ter another survey. Thie type of approval Mr. Bird thought
to De appropriate being the facility was I!!I locked facility
and thereupon needed the specialized certification and
credentials.
Bay HealthCare Corporation developed over the first two
years in clearing out the inappropriate employees who were
not -people oriented·~ The process was not easy and required
extensive progra.s and innovative management style. This
transition vas don@ in upqrading the e.ployaent credentials

The therapy and activities prograas include 18 weekly
supervised outings ir~to Palo Alto for shopping, eatinql
church and social events: which are in addition to resident
fa-1ly outings. All resident outinqs are strictly
ooordinated throuqh the Program Director and the Case
Conference com.ittee, and approved by the Medical Director.
No resident leaves the facility without a physicians written
ord~r and facility care plan.
Bay HealthCare residents range in ability from totel
confusion to reasonably sound people (chronic alcoholic) If
Bay Healthcare were to c~ase bus1ness~ the residents vould
either return to their faall1es or into the qeneral community
in residential or intermediate care facilities. Some
residents would have to be transferred out of County to like
facilities which could provide total custodial care, which
would be a substantial inconvience to the family me~rs and
hinder resident treataent. The 10S6 of skilled-locked
facility beds in the co .. unity would severely hamper the
qeneral medical comsunity. Beinq that Bay HealthCare has
about fifty percent VA patients, they more than likely wo~ld
stay in the qeneral area to take advantage of their veterans
privileqes.
Bay HealthCare Corporatio~ is the only hospital setting
in the al-ea which qives psychology students intern learning
opportunities. The progra. developed at say Health~re is

FROII: Robert Schubert
DATE: May 16, 1993
SUBJECT: Agenda Item 12, May 2&, 1993 Planning CQmmis~lon Meeting -
4177 ~ir.nda Avenue (9l-EIA·IO, 9l-ZC-3)
At the request of the Cit1 Attorney~ staff has prepared revised findings for
the subject application. BelDw are the revised findings (Findings '2-4 are
n ... ).
RfComENQATIO!t
Staff recolTI'I'Iends that th~ Planning Corrmisslon recorrmel1d denial of the
requested z~ne change to the City Council based upJn the fo11owing fi~dings;
1. Siven the existing access~ the small size of the site and its close
proximity t~ the single family ~etghborhood to the soyth~ rezoning the
$1te to the R-E District is inappropriate for the following reasons:
a. Two of the three conditional us~s (conya~sc~nt factlitles ind
commercial plant nurseries) whic;, are allowed i~ the RE District
but not in the R-U929) District pr(lo'uc.e noise and yehicu1~r
traffic sign; iicantly in e)(cess of that generated by the adjacent
single-family neigr.borhood.
b. Access to the site is limited since it ;s provided by .a s1ngle~
narrow (lO foot wide) dead-end road (M~rarlda Avenue). Miranda
Avenue is shared by a single-famiTy neighborhood, lacks Sidewalks
and does not meet City standards. In addition, the site does not
have a separate driveway o~to Miranda Avenue but shares actess
with t~ree s;ngle~famiTy names. This access is batter suited for
uses which generate less traffiC than cQmmercial plant nurseries
ur convalescent uses.
c. The operati~g character~stScs of two of the three conditional uses
(conva1escent facilities and commercial plant nurseries] t~at are
allowed in the RE Oistrict but .re not .11owed in the R-I(9Z9)
District are not compatible with the adjacent single-family
neignborhoods in terms of h~urs of operation) nu~ber of employees,
and types and hours of deliwery.
Z. The current design is unacteptable bec.ause a) the fac11ity lacks an
adequate and stparate driveway for institutianal truck deliveries,
b) the instltytionalized resldents should have higher quality outdoor
space for exercising in a manner which WOUld net impact neighbors, and
c) adequate buffers for nOlse and pri~acy should exist.

3. The City's control ov~r the type of patient care p~ovided at the
facility is limited. The State Welfare and Institutions Code (Section
S120) states that -no city or county shall discriminate in the
enact.ent. enf~rc~nt, or administration of any zoning laws,
ordinances, Dr rules and ft9ulitions between the use of property for the
treatment of general hospit~l or nursing home patients ~nd the yse of
property for the psychiatrlc care and treatment ~f patients, both
inpatient and outpati!nt.' The Code further states that health
'facilities for inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care and treatment
shall be permitted in any area zoned for hospitals or nursing homes, or
in wh1ch hospitals ind nursing homes are permitted b~ conditional ~se
penait.·
4. A previous appljcitlon to rezon~ th! site frem the R·l(929) District to
the R-E Oistrict WiS denied by the City 1n 1981. A request for an
exception from the termination provisions to eliminate the required
ter=ination of the facility was denied by tne City 1n 1982. With the
exception of better ~anagement of the facillt), many of the factors
which served as tke basis for denial of the previous requests (e.g., the
des~gn of the facility and traffic impacts) have not changed since tne
public hearings in 1981 and 1982. rn addition, 51nce a use permit runs
with the land. the particular oper.tor cannot b. regulated by the City
(i.e., the ~se penRit cannot be made non-transferrab1e).

This is in response to your letter of earlier this year
requesting that we conduct a study of the traffic risks at and
near the entrance to your facility. About two months aqo, I
visited the area to begin investigation of your concerns, and
talked to you over the telephone about them. Unfortunately,
1: have not :been a:ble to follow up until now. We have now
concluoed this study, and our observations are the following.
This portion of Mirancia. between the access road to your
property and. Arastradero has no residential or commercial
development on either side, except for one or two houses at
the corner or Miranda and Arastradero. and s thus, is somewhat
rural in nature. Traffic volume is relatively ligMts as the
street is a dead-ends and serves your facility and about 50
single-family homes. Because of the light traffic volume.,
infrequent pedestrian use (albeit regular), and undeveloped
nature of this portion of Miranda, we would not nonnally
install sidewalks or consider other widening on a road such as
this. I noticed that there is a wide, graded, dirt shoulder
on tha cemetery side of the road that your patients c~uld use
for walking. Where the planting c,:-.cas intrude into this area,
a group of pedestrians might need to move onto the pave~ent,
and should s of course, do so with caution.
One. 2S mph spe.ed limit sign is installed facing southbour.d
traffic just south of Arastradero., near the houses. Because
of the lack of residential devalopment along the remainder of
this portion of Miranda, the usual speed limit of 25 mph would
not apply, so it is doubtful that the Police Department would
be able to enforce that speed limit.
At the corner of Miranda and the road to your facility, there
is a bush on private property .hich impedes the visibility of
drivers exiting Old Miranda who are looking for traffic
approachinq from the south. We have asked the property owner
to trim or remove this bush, and we will make sure that this
is done. Otherwise, the corner is relatively tree of visual
obstructions~ Nevertheless, the driver approaching on the

lesser, or tera!natinq, street (your access road in this cas.,
as it does not contir:.ue t.'lro\lgh the intersectioll) has the
respansibility to enter the interaection far enough to gain a
view of oncominq traffic, and, it necessa.ry I yiel;:1 l:Ietore
proceding4 Our ju1qement is that, once the above-mentioned
bushes have been trimmed. a driver can see oncoming traffic
before his or her car enters Miranda, at which point
visibility is more than sufficient tor the driver to make a
decision about turning onto Miranda. Only one eccident VAS
reported to have occurred on Miranda bet'Ween January 1986 and
June 1991, and that appears to have been somewhat south of
this intersection. OUr concllJsion is that a stop sign at
this intersection is not warranted.
There is, however, an intersection of two private driveways
that has less than desirable visibility--it is the fir-st
intersection that a driver reaches after leaving your parkinq
lot. The tra.f.fic volume on the intersectinq ceast-west)
driveway is very light, as it serves only about 2 homes, and
we have no record of accidents at this location. It appears
that this area is not under the City's juri&diction. I
sugqest that you install a 24 X 24-inch standard STOP sign on
a pole about 6-7 feet hiqh on the right side of your driveway,
vh.ere it intersects with the driveway entering :fro~ the left.
'tou might also wish to investiqate any other possibilities for
improvement with the owners of this driveway. Trarfic signs
should be available from Fit:zpatr-ick Barricade (408-295-8210),
Russ Enterprises C 408-287-430) l, or Hawkins and rlawkins in
Berkeley.
In summary, our study ot this area shows that, other than
trimminq ~~ removal of the bushes mentioned above, there do
not appear to be any other traffic safety problems which
warrant corrective action by the city &t this time. We do
sU9gest that you and the property owners sharing the driveway
mentioned above take some action to improve driver visibility
there. One action is for you to install the stop sign as I
have &ugqqested.
Sincerely,
C..-EAt-7f3--

MEMORANDUM
Right-of·Way Status of Miranda Avenue S<>utherly or
Arastradero Road
Questions 1c<cp arising cooceming Miranda Avenue south of Ar.ostIadero Road and the City's
malnrenance RSpOnS!billlies ",;!hin that right-or·way.
At !he time of annention 10 the City, Miranda was a private road within a 20 foot wide
easement, and most of !be property along this road was large parcels. When requestS for
subdivisions increased, the City staff, after d!=ssions with many of the resi<!ents, decided to
Rqum • forty fDO! wide righl-of· way from !he westerly property line (DOW Ibe e&lIedy edge of
POOChi1l Exp:essway) wilb !he intent of widening and im;>roving M"mmda Avenue. A few
cledicatioa. ""'" obIained for the 40 foot right-of-way as • requirement for subdividing property.
In 1960, an assessment district was formed to improve misoeIIaneous unimproved _ in Palo
AIlo, Miranda A .... ue was originally inciudM in this district, but was removed after • p:oIeSI
from !be IaIge majority of tile property Dwners in that mao Included in this district, however,
was MiraDda 6=.
[n 1977, the Alta Mesa Cemetery Association proposed to construct a block wall on the
northeasterly line.'! Miranda A venue from Ar.ostIadero Road to the soulbefly end of the
cemetery's property. The residents to the south of the cemetery's property strongly opposed
this. because it would confine pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists within a 20 foot wide corridor
with a wall on one side anrl a chain link fence on the Foothill Expressway side, posing an
extreme safety problem. Numerous meetings were held between the City, Alta Mesa, and
residents, which IaUlted in an agreement wheteby Alia Mesa would grant 10 the City a 34 foot
wide strip, in fee, and construct. road to City specifications. Upon completioo, this road was
ae:epIed for moinlenallce by the City.
This portioo of Miranda AvCllue is the only pwtioo south of Ar.ostradero Road which is
maintained by Ibe City. (From Araslradero Road to the southerly property line of Alta Mesa
cerneIcry.) The res! of Miranda Avenue south of Arastradero Road remains a privaIC road not
maintained by the City eJ<eep! f~ conditions that are detetmined to be • traffic bazanI. The
ponions of right-of-way, 40 feel,tide, dedicated to the Cll)! are not maintained by the City.
