priorities such as maintaining the rf:'sidentiai.char<1ctcr of the CitYf prcscn'ing the environment oiIod limiting traffic

The lisCa'l1 reality is that with the downturn in California ecomlmy, t'"jti;c;~; throughout out the state are beiug squeezed
financially, }-oriunately, with a per capita revt~nue of almost $120(l, PuIo Alto is substantially ~tter off than other
cities of its size in the Bay Area, In spit( of thi~, the future i!' by no nW<ln:~ (ert.)in given unforeseeable financial

Palo Alto will be a vital place in which to live~ work and gather, with public sp~ce to ensure people-to-people contact.
Housing, rommunity design and workplace options w.ill SUpPOI~ affordability and diversity in all its aspeds. The
physical and visual elements will establish a citywide sense of roffinlUnity, place and quality of life. Those qualitips
which make Palo Alto's neighborhoods especially de:;iuble will be protected and enhanced.
Palo Alto will be an interdepf'ndent system based on the concept of "walkable neighborhoods," each with its own
housing, shopping.. services, schools, and public ~pace~ that are a~cessible without using a car.
Various building de.o.sities~ types and uses will exist in the coIl1ml.mity in a way whi('h expands the ranges of choices

Map. Jts goals, policies, and prcgrams art" grouped into five brood cJkgories -City, Districts, Centers, Public Ways,
and Buildings -as follows:
• CHy -This seoion defines Palo Alto as a community of wcllkabl~ neighborhoods and important commercial
n·nters 3nd cultural facilities. Goals, polide~, and progr"m~~ address preserving and enhatl<:ing the qualities that
make Palo Alto unique, as well as integrating n~tural open $P~c(;os that e:sta'blish the city's boundaries.
Districts -Larger than <In individual n("ighbothood or dl?velopment, Districts .ue areas of the city that have
common land use patterns and focus on COmmon shopping <lr£;as and public gatlwring spaces. Tht"«' types of
Districts are discussed in this sectiQn: Residential Ojstricts, EmFloyr.'\ent Di$tricts~ and Mixed-Use Districts.
Centers -Cent-efS are the civk and commercia) gi1theting plaC'25 of the community. These mixpd-use areas create
the identity of 5urrounding neighborhoods and provide public spaces for neighborS to m~t. Their character,
intensity~ and mix of land uses vary by locatiotL Goals" polici.~s, ,md progr..lms. are provided lor four types of
Centers: Urban Centers, Multi-Neighborh()()Jj C{'nters, Neighborhood Centers~ and Civic Centers,
• PubHc Ways -Streets, paths, and grcenw3Ys (lrt> the public <1rrnaturt? of the city. Their design should consid(Or the
{tceds of poedestrian.-; and bicydists, as well .-lS automobiles. This .section dddrcssl;-s the design and treatment of
public infr<lstructure.
• Buildings ~ The design and placement of buildipgs defines the sGlle and chJracter of a pJ~ce. This section
provides goals, policies, and programs that direct the design of new b'..liidings aWJY from private enclaves and
toward buildings that reinforce and revitalize stre:ets and public sp<.Jces .

Districts
Community DtI#glf
PlI$tti
Distri~ts are larger than an indhrldual neighborhood or development. They are defined by walbbWty, identity, and
land uSe· Their edges are defined by the com/ort of a pedestrian, in terms of walking distance and physical barri"",.
Their identity p.volv(>s ftom their public gathering spilct's ~ parks, schools, civic facilities, shopping areas, and streets.
Oistricts represel"lt the potential to create a sen.',/! of community within distinct are-as Qf the city; to work toward an
ethic of commonality, rather than isoJation.
There are three types oE Di.~trkt$ within Palo Alto:
• Residential Djstricts -groupin.gs of residen~jal neighborhoods tM' focus onto commercial areas, patks, and
public facilities.
• Employment Djstrkts .-areas dominated by employment US('S (e,g. St.anford Resear<:h Park, Bayshore, etc.)
• Mixed-Use Distrkts -areas with a diverSity of uses Within a proestri.c':ln-ori('.nted fabric. Housing. shopping,
office, and light industrial uses C<l-exist ~ither on separate lots or in mixed-use bujJdings.

Implementation Strategy:
i. The gena-a.! pl.r.n should be updated to ifl·~orporate the atx:)\'~ principk·3.
2. Rather than allowing developer4i.nitiatcd, piecemeaJ. deveio?ment, local govW'...mems should

3. PJior to any development, a: _s.pecific plall should be prepared based on ll}e plar.ning
principles. WIth the adoption of spectfic plans, complying projects could procud wilh
minimal delay,
4. Plans should be developed through an ope:l process and p:arricipa.nts ill the process should be

Keaber-s of the
BuKiness and

Co.prehensi~e Plan Advisory committee
Econoaics Subcomaittee/Tom~
This ~.o is addressed to each of you on behalf of the Bueiness
Qnd Econoaica Subco.aittee. In preparing this latest draft of
the Business and Econoaics elellent, a nUJlber ot' our Policies and
Pr09raas which were included in the Auqust 3 Worksheet, and upon
which you subsequently voted, have been ~odified in recognition
of concerns a nuaber of you eXpressed. Several other Policies
~~d Proqraas are included in this latest draft which were not in
the August draft although they were in previous drafts. These
are soJteVhat technical and you may find a brief explanation
helpful.
The first Program under Goal SE9 reads, "Mair.tain the non
rer.idential site co'.'erage limits and floor area ratio
re-::;uirel!lents that were adopted in 1989 as result at the Cit~ide
Land Use ar.d Trdllsport-at.;.ion Studyil.
~mt.: "This cOlDpreh'5!nsive stUdy was made by the city and
cont~ined info~ation maKing it clear that commercial development
could not continue to the extent which was then projected. For
example, the 100 page Study stated that:
An an!!lysis of all the traffic indicators h.e:.s shown t.tlat
traffic conditions are poor under existing conditions and
will wors.e.n even if no ne ... cClUlercial 'Or industria.l
4evelop.ent is permitted. This is due to the continuation
of existing traffic conditions J traffic from ~lready
co .. itted develop.ant and backgro~~d regional growth outside
Palo ~lto's control .
.•••• Without any further development occurrinq in Palo Alto
tor twelve years (until the year 2000 1 traffic volumes in
the City are expected to increase by an average of 14\, due
to traffic generated by reqionB) growth or already committed
developsen~ .....
In facti this estimate is proving low, particularly for streets
and arterials north of O~eqon where, during the period 1984 to
1993, traffic has already increased 13t. The report went on to
say:
Under previous zoning regulations 1 commercial and industrial
development in the City r.ad the potential to double I adding
rouqhly 25 million square feet to the existing 25 million
square feet. Such development Would have increased traffic
by 79'. The aaqnitude of the potential traffic impacts made
, . ....,.;t:p<f!P:I
it clear that substantial :r-eductions in development levels
were need~ to ~intain acceptable future traffic
cor.ditio~s. The Cit~ide S~udy process .as to deter~ine
vhat level of fut1..a-e developaent would beilsnce the
co .. unity~s need to .aint~in viable co..ercial areas and to
pr~ver;t unacceptable ~rattic congestion.
On the following page is an extract fro. the report showing the
zoninq changes W'hich "ere -oade. Given the alarming out.look for
Rbusiness as usual-, the Council adopted the r~coaAendations of
the Study ~ive years sqo in 1989, In doing so, an overall cap
vas placed on ~cning in nine ar~as to prevent excessive and
overly intensive development while still sllowinq for growth.
Under BEl), the following Policy 4nd programs have been included:
To assure that r.~'" develop!lent proceeds ir'l an orfierly and
acceptable ~an~er, ll~it non-residential develop~ent in the
[};y,,-nto;.m An"a to ten p.erc.:nt (3:)0 I OOIJ sql1.)re fept of floor
areal abc.lve the ,)~o'cmt of aevel::J;;::::ent e~:istinq on or
approved in ~,!'I'" 198.&.
Re-evaluat,,: grcll'th re'-!:.llat. i'Jr1.'::' fQ::' ncn-n~o;;id€ntial
deveJ op.'"':ent ..i n the D;::r;,mt.v .. -n Area when develop'r.l("nt approvals
reach two-thirds (235,00 square feet of floor ar~¢] of the
ten percent growth limit tor nonresidential de .... elopment.
Continue to i:!O!'Htor developaent at the Downtown Area and
Y.eep the pla!mi ng COJU:lission and city Ccunci 1 advised on e:
se~i8nnual basis.
comment: Since Downto~ d~velopoent is limited to 350,000 square
feet, this is 5i.ply intended to assure that if. for e~ample, the
economy were to heat up and developaent were to acceler~te, there
would be an opportunity to reevaluate regulations and make sure
that de~elo~nt that had occurred and was projecte~ was
consistent with Palo Alto's interests and goals. At. this point,
developable area DovntO¥n 5~ill exceeds 300,000 square feet so
the reevaluation provision is not nearly re~dy to trig~er.
still~ it appears pr-4dent to include this ~stop and think~
provision whiCh allows a re4ssess.ent of Downtown developnent
before it actually occurs.
TO repeat. all of these Policies and Prcgra::.s ""'are included in
previous Business and Economic iotorx.sheet.s, but were inadvertently
dropped fro. the August J Worksheet. We hope that you find these
coaaents useful.

ComprehensivQ Plan Advisory co~ittee
September 'I 1994
Business and Economics SubcOm.Jr.ittee/TOlll~
This -.mo is addressed to each of you on behalf of the Business
and Economics Subcommittee. In preparing ~his latest draft of
the Business and Econo~ics element, a number of our Policies and
Programs which wer-e included in the August 3 Worksh .. '.3t/ and upon
which you subsequently voted, ha~e been »Odified in recognition
of conCerns ~ number of you eXpressed. Several other Policies
and Programs are included in this latest draft wnich ~ere not in
the August draft although they were in previous drafts. These
are somewhat technical and you Day find a brief explanation
helpful.
The first Program under Goal BE9 xead~, ~Maintain the non
residential site coverage limits and floor <':Ire·;! ratio
requirenents that wet:'-e a.depted in 1909 8'?, resul.t of the City ... ~d.c€
Land Use and Tran~portation StudyH,
Comm?Dt~ This comprehensive Study wae :made-by the City and
contained information making it cle~r that commercial development
could not continue to the .extent whi,!h was then projected. For
example, the 100 paq~ study stated that:
An analysis of all t,he trafflc indicatol's has showll ttlat
traffic conditions are poor under exist-ing conditions anrj
will worsen even if no new commercial Qr industrial
developDent is permitted. This is due to the continuation
of existin9 traffic conditions, traffic from already
committed development ana background ~egional growth outside
Palo Alto's control .
••••• Without any further development occurring in Palo Alto
for twelve years (until the year 2000, traffic volumes in
the City are expected to increase by an average of 14%, due
to traffic gen~rated by regional growth or already committed
development, •. ~.
In fact, this estim~te is proving low, particularly fo~ streets
and arterials north of oregon where, d~rinq the period 1984 to
199J, traffic has already increased 13%. The report went on to
say:
Unde~ previous zoning regulations, commercial and industrial
development in the City bad the potential to double I adding
roughly 25 million equare feet to the eXisting 25 million
square feet. such development would have increased traffic
by 7~%. The magnitude of the potential traffic impacts ~ade
--~--'--~
. ,
•
it clear that s~tantial reductions in development levels
were needed to maintain acceptable future traffic
conditions. The Citywide Study process was to determine
what level of future development would balance the
coaaunity/s need ~o maintain viable commercial areas and to
prevent unacceptable traffic conqestion.
On the following page is an extract from the report showing the
zoning chang~s whicn were made. Gi~en the alarming outlo~k for
-bUsiness as usual", the Council adopted the recommendations of
the Study five years ego in 1989. In doing so, an overall cap
was placed on zoning in nine areas to prevent excessive al"ld
overly intensive development while still allowing for growth.
under BE!3, the following Policy and programs have been included:
To assure that new development proceeds in an orderly and
acceptable manner, limit non-residential development in the
Downtown Area to ~en percent (350,000 square feet of floor
area) above the amount of development existing on or
apprOvE:d in May 1986.
p.~-evaluat"e. growth regulations for non"-n')sidentiol
qf'!:'1eloprce;,t in 'che i)owntown Area when developr.ll:mt RpprO'lals
reach two-thirds (235,00 square feet of floor ar&C:I) of thc~
ten percent growth limit f0 4' nonresidential development.
Continue to monitor development ot the Do~ntown Area and
keep the planning Commission and City Council advised on a
seMiannual basis.
C9)m@ut; Since D010lntcwn development is limit.~d t.o 350,000 square
feet, this is simply intended to assure that if, for exampl~, the
econo~' were ~o heat up and development were to accelerate, there
would he an opportunity to reeval~ate regulations and ~ake sure
thl'st dev61opaen"t t-hat had occurred and was projected wa!J
consistent with Palo Alto/s interests and goals. At this point,
developable area Downtown still exceeds 300,000 squ~re feet so
the reevaluation provision is not neBrly ready to trigger.
Still, it appears prudent to include this "stop and think"
provision which allows a reassessment of Downtown development
before it actually occurs.
To repeat, all of these Policies and Programs were included in
previous Business and Econo::aic Workstleets, but were inadvertently
dropped fro. the August 3 worksheet. We hope that you find these
co-.ents useful.

devdoping air quality goals. policies and implemeruadon measures within the
Comprehensfve Pllm.
One of me m,ajor re.asons that aLr quailty conUl1u¢5 to be a problem in the:
Bay Area and California in general is a relatively high rate of population and
economic grO"lWth. Map:!' propeS! has been made in past years in reducing
em:iss.ions from $~alionary sources and mobi le sources i [1; the Bay Arc:.a., with
tolte result that steady improvement in air quality has been documented despite
population grOW1h. The major obstacle to impro\'ed ai r quality in the future is
incre.sinC population and ye-h,ide use and dete riorating operating conditioN
on h:ighways and roads.. The extent thai future growth affects air quality will
be parttaJly dctermio~d by the form thai new latld uses take, and th.e
iransportation options available to new residents.
As a mature community. P;llo .<lUte has little undcveloped Ia.nd. Opponunl!ies
to makt major d'l?r.ge,s in den.?>ity. ~Mtet l-ay{)ut -a.r,d other {a;..1.ors will \;le

Ir.::'rea.s~ residential and emptoyment density, where appropriate. to
.support trMsrt., bk')lde and pedestrian use.
Encourage ir.fiJl, redevelopment and re·use of vacant or undel1ltihzed
pa:rccli at appropriate densities. tD s.upport tiMsit. bicycle and
pedestrian \!$C.
Promote e:r.:ens,ion of transit system.), and locat~ hjgher den~ty

Adopt policies that promote mb:ed·use development to provide ho>uing
and commercia] seT'Yiees such as day care, restaurant-s., banks and stores
near to employment centers. TI"Js would reduC(: auto trip generation by
promoting pedestrian travel by employees running errands.

Past mQrutorins s.tudies have shown that fireplaces and wooOs\ovtS. a.rt a.

would be appropri3te for Palo A!to to oon,ider policies that wouid limit 01

B. DESClUPT10NS or NOISE
• • •
Noise is defined as unwallled sound. Airborne SOUIK1 is • rapid fluctualion of
air pressu.re .above: and below atmospheric prCUlirt. Sound levels are usually
measured and expressed in decibels (dB) with 0 dB rormpondilll roughly Ie
the threshold of hearing. Decibels and other tcclw.ial !eml.l, an: defined ir'.

environmental sounds consists of eyaluating all "-If the rr~qLlcncjes oi a ~ur.d

measured is caUed the A-weighted sound level (dnA). rn prvctice. the level of
a sound source is cortvenlC',ntly measured wing a sound I C'V't1 meier that
includes an el«njcal filter corresponding to [he A-\lo-eigfuing curve. Typkal
A-levels measured in the environment .and in indlWfY art !'hov.'J1 in Table 2

A.ilhough the A-weighted ooise level may adequately indicate me IC\lcl of

assessment made by C.ambridge Srstem3tiC$ to calculate tne noise levels wrll:
the major thorough fares in the City of Palo Al to.
The craffle noise prediction model used to calculate noise level.! along the
major streets and highways in the City of Palo Alia was developed by CaJU'IRS
and is known a..'i (he SOU NDJ2 tn.ffic noise prediction model. Input to the
mode! includes traffic volume. speed.. and me dium and heavy duty truck
pert:ent..a.ges.. The calculations. do not indud(. shielding providc.d ~
incervening barricrs or buildings and, therefore, represent worst case. noise
exposure leve-u along these streets. The calculated nOl$(: Jevea are shown in
Table 5.
Hlghway to] is. calculated 10 caUSJ:: the highest noise levels. ~ilh an L .. of O\-'r;r
80 dB near the edge of Ihe fre(way. EI Camino) Real, ,\lma Strce~ and San
Antonio Road are calculated to have L ... at or ah()ve 75 dB near the roadway
('dge. Sand Hill Road. Embarcadero Road, Oregon ElprCs.~',\'ay, Middiefidd
Road, and Cl'1u!eston Road appear to ha"c L-!a at or above 10 dB near the
road'W';'Y tdge.

measured at noise measureme:lt Location 5. The noise exposure COntours in
ierms of the 24-hour~., noise metric w:::rc developed based on (hiS
infurm&.tion. With the exceprion of traffic on Highway 101, the rai1:-cad li~c

maximum noise levels generated by the train typica.Uy rln,ge from 90 to tOO dB
at a distance of 140 feet from tbe tracks. The highest noise levels are
generated by the train whistles.
c. Shoreline Amphithe3iC'j. Com:em.: at the Shoreline Amphitheater,
which is located ll~llr Palo AUo in MQ'Ul'ltajn View, have generated com:pl~ints
from residents in Palo Alto. The residents who complain most ofteil are

California Coast Ranges, characterized mainly by no rtIiwesl trending ridges
and ,,"alleys of moderate topographic relief, The Coast Range provin~ is a
broad al"C'.a of folded and fauhed rocks along: tile wesu.m edge of the Non~
Amenca."} .:ontinent. The pro\.incc is characterized by numerous active and
potentially a.ctive faults, and frequent eart1IquaK{',s. The San Andlc;;.s rn,ult. a

ancient streams tlO'iring from the Santa Cruz MOUlltains. Sin« their
accumulation, they have be.en uplift.:d by mountain bUildlng forces ~nich

!. Flooding. Flooding within Palo Alto cai'l result from periodic Lntense
rainfall as well at seismLc processes. For example, seismic ground shaking

SLiCh. slape or emhanlcrnenl failures could imJJ1date dO\lo'llslope regions. fn
addition, earthquake generated water waves {seiche or tsunami) could overtop
"'''iler retaining embanJonents and result in lnundation. A discu.s.sjon of

the A1q:Jist·Prioio Earthquake: Fault Zon;ng Act. The only fault ,.,;thin Palo

Another State program. structured in a simiJar manner to the existing fault

Palo Alto's residents are &4.9 percellt white, as shov.n in I~igure 4.
HowC'V~r. person$ identifying themstl\'c:s. as ...... hite have declined and
non-white racial groups have r~gistered s.uhstantia! increaseJ recently.
In panicu!ar. personlO identifying themsel\"es as Chlnes.e, Asian, or

The Palo Alto mean and median household inccmes ha\"C' increased
more rapidly than the Coru;.L.L!tl.er Price lnda since 19/0, as shown. in
Figure 5. However, statl"L.:s indicate that the greatest ittcOme incrc:as.es
are Ln the highest income C:Ategories and there [s a widening gap
between lower and upper income groups in the Gty of Palo Alto.

F'8W' 8. MuiJi-Pamily HouMg
b. Housing Availability. Paio Alto has a oonstratned supply of hOUSing
reiati''o'e to the number of people who work and do business. in the city. This is
iiJustrated by the city's jobslhousing balance, hous.ing affordability and vacaoC)'
rates.
The jeb5-to·hou.sing imbalance III the ell), of Palo Alto is e:memeiy
high. Ba~d Cln infom1alion from thr. BurN,-, of the Census al1d the
A~$oci~tio!) of Bay Ne,l Go\'emmen~s. there weie 3.19 jobs. in Palo
Alto for c,"'cl)' r~ident in the laoor force in 1990. in 1~'W Ihere were n
toUI of 81,290 jobs and 33,079 re.s-ide.'1ts in the Jaoor foret. Thls
indicates that even jf every person in the Palo Alto labor fMC.e worked
in Palo Alto, almost 55,800 workers would have to (;Orne into th( City
from o~her oommun.iLies 10 flU all of the Iccat jobs.. as s.hown in Figure
7. HeM'ever, the rcpulal.ion ofwr.1fkcrs in Palo AIIo has grown 0;''(:( the
1970-1990 lime period, as a result of increased jaboT force participation
aod an Increase in the number of\\.'Orkin,g-age residents.
Rental and home ownership alfordabiHty, panicutarly for lower income
hous.ehoJd:i. [s the primary housing problem in Palo AJto. Sevent)'
perceni of 10'9\1 income renters and thirty percent of aU homeowners. are
paying 30 percent or more of their income faT nousing. Interestingly.
many homeownt:rs paying 30 percent of more cf their inoot}le for
housfng are Ln rCIa.tively high income brad.:ets.
As of November 1992, the reotal vacancy rate waJ. only 0.33 percer.t.
This ana1ysis is based on information from the Census. BUilding
Division Rccords and utility meter data. A rc:nlai vacancy 1a[t. of at
least Dve pen:.et1t is con.s.idtred necessary to allow for ade~uate renter
cr.oice and a normal balance of suppty and demand [n the marketplace.
Under current conditions, it appears that onJ)' about 50 net new housmg
l.:iIilS per year \\oil! be C'reated in The city fur the period of Im-i995.
Th.is will do little to provide: additional housing uniu r~lati\'e to the
identifir.d housing pres.sures.

automobiles. and r(:.'!.[demjai heating. Automobile Haffic is initially resp:m~ble
for elevating CO concentrations in the tate afternoon, and combustion of
natural gas and burning in fireplaces in the evenings elevatC'-s CO levels from 4
PM to 12 midnlght. Elgla·houT CO roncentration contour lines are shown in
pa.rU per milJioil in Figure ]5. More ex.a.ct air quatity data is shown in Figure
~S in Appendix B. The pattern of CO contours over PaJo Al to demonstrates
that residential .sources of CO such. as space heaters, fireplaas and
'1t'OOdstoYes may be or grealer importMct on cold winter nightS than
automobile exhausu, since the maximum concentrations are found nver

Survey Pw:pose
The purpose of the Readiness Asse~s.ment Survey is to determine the willingness iind
ability of existing neighborhood organiz,ations in Palo Alto to t.3ke a mOTE' active m!t?' in
City government. This action was d€sign€d to complement the C0mprehep.si\'t'
Advisory Committee's (CPAC) development (1f preliminary Governance and
Community Services policies and programs,
This infonnal survey was designed to infom, neighborhood organizatio!lS of tht"
CPAC's progress and assess neighborhnod associations' willingness to support dnd
participate in a governance rranu:·\ .... 'ork wh!.:'n relies strongly on coromunicaliclO
between citizens, neighborluxx:] organizations, and the City.

CPAC is currently devdoping puHdes and programs to be included m the Co"~pre

organizations to.take a more active role in City governm~nt. Before the CPAC
Governance subcommittee can fulty evaluate this approach, they feel it is important to
understand the existing level of n('ighborh~"XXI organi.lation in P.'3lo Alto.

Palo Alto. The Southgate Neighborhood, the oldest association s\.lrvey""d, was
established in the 1920'sf while the Midtown Resid~nts Association was E'stablished thi~
January, Six associations were originally organized. in the 1950's or earlier; two were
organized in the 1960's~ seven were organized in the 1970's; three WCTt> organized in the
1980's and four were-organized in the 1990's.
p"'1"'" Established
Many of the older neighborhood. associations were originally encouraged to organize
by the City of Palo Alto. The City wanted to promott~ neighborhO<ld cohesiveness, city
TCpresentation, and to provide the City with an efficient man!1.cr of informing its
constitut'rlts. Newer as5Odations have organized themselves to addres5 specific issues
nf their members. More recent issut'$ indude: dev(']oping (ommunity rarks, pools,
and centers; transporto!t-ion; cTime,: dru,ss.: blight; 1,1nd us('s; ....... eHare of ol.l:sinesses;

Many of those interviewed represenl fairly organized neighborhoods, however the
nUmbt'T of active members varies within Citch neighborhood group and is often
de~ndent on the is...<;ues being addressed 3t thE' time, The number of associations' active
members ranged from zern to 270-...
Methods"f Memc<r Notificalion
The nt'ighborhood associations use different methods for n0tifying their members of
meeting dates and times, and issues!o he iflddressed. Most organizations notify their
members via Hyers that arp either hand delivered or mailed 10 each hous.chold. Other
methods include phone trees, bulletins, announL-eITIents in ttl<=' Palo Alto Weekly, annual
events, newslettersf and/or word of mouth,
J\-lelhods ojCommurdcafion with City
A majority of the as:j.ociations communicate v,:ith tILt' City direC'tly by attending and
speaking at City Council meeting~ and Planning Cormni:;silH\ me·etings. St:veral
assoclations have connections \'lith City officiolJs who s,':rvE' as liaisons with the Oly.
