Governance -This set of recorumendalions is entirely new and f,x:usses "" thRe themes:
community building, improving cmnmunication, and managing change, The most
rontroversial strategy recommended i. io. the City to support and ellCourage stronger
neigbborhoods and neighborhood organizations, This strategy is offered as a supplemem
to direct citizen participation in government. The theory is that more ~?!e-are like!y

the general public everywbere, not only in Palo AHa. The second majm srra1..egy, wbich
is not yet weD defined in '.he recommendation.s, IS fOT the City to c~p!orc new methods
of streamlining planning processes, while involving the community ear J ier in developmenl
review. These proce-;stS would include interactive design as part of the problem-wiving

The attached September 30 sraff report contains the following policy overview of tbe
CPAC recommendations and listing of policies and programs that appear to stafflQ have
particularly important policy L'llplications.
Staff believes that there is one overarching policy theme that emerges from
CPAC's work, That then. is that City policy should, in a coordinated
way, seek to protect aoc er.bance Palo Alto', sense of community and
undertake new efforts [0 create a stronger se= of community, &lme
CPAC members brolJght to th.e process Cill inl.er~t in nnemradiiiona1
planning" and all CPAC members ha'le received expo,ure, to neotraditional
planning co=pts from Peter Calthorpe and other consultants. The
fundamental point of the neotraditional planning perspective is that the way
urban areas have developed since World War n has resulted ill a physical
environment that separates people from their larger C'ommuniiY.
Neo!raaitionai planning perspectives have posi.ively resonaled withill CPAC
(,'MR:4!16:94
.-.:';'
,
and sparked interest in what factors make Palo Alto a strong community
and bow can tho5e fa..-cors be protected, streDgthellCd and enhanced.
Traditionally, Palo Alto has bad a sttonger sense of community than most
suburban areas, and !bat sense of community has been reinforced by (but
is DO! dependent on) the City's physical srruerure, especially the pan of the
City created before World Wu n. Many of CPAC's recommendations
focus on pc=ived o~les to having an integrated sense of community,
wbether !hey be physical (e.g., traffic40minated residential streets),
proc«Iurol (e.g., a sense of communiI)' aiiemllion from the City decision
making pro<:e1S, perhaps especially on land use mattern), or service issues
(e.g., child care). 'There is an understanding that Palo Alto is more than
a residential community, and enhancing commerdal and sorv ice elements
is importam for both the larger sense of commullirl and, f,,, activities that
g(:nerate munidpal reVCDlli.!, to sustain and enh.ance the local government
revenues necessary to under.ake the physir.aJ and service programs that help
make Palo Alto. very spe<:131 place.
ArJY Comprebensive Plan inherently \"':;ontains a broad range of policy ls'iUes.
Consultant Daniel lac<lfano prepared, as part of the Augu't 18 CPAC
meeting, a 3-page Identification of Overall Themes (attached).
Mr. lacofano notes that CPAC has made r=mmendation;; that are weU
beyond the traditioD>J State-lIWldated se"en Plan elements. In particular,
CPAC has developed !Wo oow subi""l areas, G<Jyernance and Community
Design, and addressed the intersections and overlaps between various
topics. 1buIJ, CPAC has raised more policy issues than most
cmnprehensive land use planning efforts.
Staff comments and recommendations insOri.d in the attached CPAC
material address many of the policy issues. As noted in the foUowing
Discussion section, staff has also identified policies and programs by their
existing, revised or new status.
In reviewing CPAC's work, the following policy and program lopics, some
of which are scaff suggested additions, stand out as having received
particular attention or haYing special importance for City scaff. It must be
emphasized that there are many other policy issues beyond those identified
below that have received extensive CPAC considenition and are of great
impo~ to members of CPAC and the general community.

PQUCY IMPUCrnoNS
Staff t>elieves that !!Jere is 0llC overarching policy theme that =rges from CPAC',
wor!<. ThaI theme is tlw. City polic)' should, in a coordinated way. secl; to pro""t and
enhance Palo Alto'. sense of communiry and underta.ke new efforts to create a stronger
eense of community. Some CP AC member> brought to the process an inIerest in
• neotraditional planning. and all CP AC members have =ived exposure to neotraditional
planning conc..-pts from Peter Caltborpe and other consultants. The fundamerual point of
the D""traditional planning perspective is that the way urban areas hav, developed since
World War II has resulted in a physical environment that sep:!rates people from their
lArger community. NeotTaditional planning perspectives have positively rescr<lted within
CPAC and sparked interest in what faclors lll11Ke Palo Alto a 5troug comrnlllliry and bow
can those factors be prot?Cted, strengthened and enhanced.
TraditionaJly, Palo Alro has h.ild a stronger St:llse of communi!"y than most subur;'an arc;;'~.
and that sense of community has been reinforced by (but is not dependent on) the City's
physical strucr.ue, especi.alJy the part of the City created before World War II. M.ll)' of
CPAC's re<:oIllllleIJdation., focus on perceived obstacles to having an int:grated sense of
community, whether they be physical (e.g., traffic-dominated residential streets).
procedural (e.g .• a sense of community alienati.cn from the City decision-making process,
perhaps especially on land use matters), or service issues (e.g., child care). There is an
understanding that Palo Alw is more than a residential community, and enhancing
commercial and service elemerus is intportant for both the larger sense of e<:>mmunity
and, for activities that gener.ue mllllicipal revenue. ro susUin and enhance the local
government revenues necessary 10 undertake the pbysical and service programs tlw. help
make Pale Alto a very special place.
Ally Comprehensive Plan inherently contains a broad range of policy issues. Consultallt
Daniel lacofano prepared, as part of the August 18 CPAC meeting, a 3-page
Identification of Overall Themes (anacbed). Mr. Iacofano OOte5 that CPAC has made
recommendations that are well beyond the traditional State-mandated "vftn Plan elements.
In panic'llar, CPAC has develope<! two new subject areas. Governance and Community
Design, and addressed the intersections and overlaps between various topics. Tnus,
CPAC has raised more policy issues than most comprehensive iand use planning efforts.
Staff comments and recommendations inserted in Ille attached CPAC material address
many of the policy issues. As noted in the following DLscuSSIDIl section, "taff h1!s also

DISCUSSION
Dev!h-"rM of CPAC's Rnmrnmxiptiqns: As noted in the Background section, the
CoomciJ's objective WlI> for CPAC to develop a S¢l of rerommendations without prior
• .., u,OJas abom tho vaJidity of adop!ed City policies and proeedures and without
~ cIiroctioo from City stiff. The Council's objective has beenmt!. CPAC has
_ L'tIo policy areas that few if any participants imagined at the beginning of the
Comm.'tt.ee's work almost t .... oyears ago. City scaff bas activel)' supported and faciliwed
the CP AC process and provided considerable background materiAl while trying not to
activel)' shape CPAC's goal, P<'licy and program direction. As wili be noted fn the
lttac.bed suff commeIili, lbere s.re numerous au.a.<i where sta..ft> recommends changes to

FOpn;!t Df 5iaff Comments: The attachment reprints th. Septewt>e, 8 CPAC report on
larger paper. Scati comments fall into three area>:
• The right sid. of the page bas a new Scaff Comments column that colllairu scaff
otY.erilllions and reccmmendations. In ca. ... where the sWf =ril1l is lODger
than the rohmm, a new page has betn inserted. SWf comments are related to
<pecific goals, policies and objectives. In many cases, the same comment is
relevant for various partS of !he CP!l.C dO<:U!1lent. Shener sWf comments bave
been repe..t,,·d, but several especially 100& scaff commerus bay. been printed once
.. ';!h cross refe=e ootations.
A£. elaborated on below, staff is very concerned about !he number of policies and
programs and their implioations for both Plan implementation and the length and
readability/useability of !be Plan. Staff bas ickntified policies and programs for
deletion. The staff comments explain whether the deletion is because we believe
jt is • poor idea, a good idea that should be preserved, perMps in an appendi, or
• separate documeUl, bUl not as • Comprehensive PI3l) policy or program, or
imp~emen.tation tnfomration that is appropriate as te;(t.
• In tile body of CPAC's recommendations, sraff has inserted some comments. In
cases where we believe that a number of items can he merged, that is noted, but
new wording bas not been created.

What Are the Important Commute TrendS?
Discussions of the jobs-housing balance issue are bedeviled by anecdotal ".,·ide"",,"
and "l!IaIy.is." Nearly everyone lmaws someone or know, someone who "no .... ,
someone who commuteS for many hours eacb day from a location usually in the
CenIraI Valley to a job in Silicon Valley. Wbile those commuting from outside of the
County into Santa Clara COUllty UTe .not a.n insignificant number, 89.2 pen.:enl of
people employed in Santa Clara County io 1990 also r.,'dod in the COl1Dlj". $an
Mateo and Alameda Counties provided a teta] of 4,3 percem of CeLlnty emptoymen't
A City anal)'sis of lhe residential locations of 7,422 Stanford Research Park
employees, based on survey data collected in 1991. found the following residential
locations by County:
Santa Clara 66 %
San Mateo
ALuneda
San Francisco
Other
18.4%
9.9%
2.8%
2.9%
An analysis of mapped residential locations indieated that appro>irnately 85% lived
within 15 miles of the Research Park; 90% lived within 20 miles and 2.5~t (224 of
7,422) lived farther l1wl 30 miles from the Palk.
AnoaIoIal evidence also COllVeys the impression thai the typical commute is geiting
longer in both disIance and time. However, census and other data indicate that
Ille !99! information with • ! 962 survey of Park employ..,. and concluded that
coamnne times were similar in 1962 and 1991. nle Metropolitan Transportation
Commission predicts IlIat the Bay Area's average commute in 2000 and 2010 will be
sborter in both distance and time than 1990.
Why is the -.:ommute not beclJmlng signifIcantly tongei and predicted to become
shorter? Tnc reasons are found in three related fa"tof$. First, the 1<.X'-2.tion of jobs is
physically les' constrained than in the past, and the strong trend is for fJflber
scattering or deconoentratian of jobs. Decon=tratian bas two key aspects. Firsl,
ITailitional central dt)' job Iocw.ions have experienced a substantial percentage decline
of metropolitan area jobs in the 1970. and 1980s. The suburbanization of the job
market bas "'.lIny reasons, and there certainly is nol;kely reversal of this trend.
Second, in all pbysical areas. there are fewer reasons for jobs 10 cluster in large
groupings. The hisloric reasons for physical proxirrJ!)' of jobs bave weakened
substantially, and that trend is esr.alating. What lhi, bas meanl for metropolitan areas
is a rapid increase in commuting within and between suburban ~reas and declining
emphasis on one-dire<:tion commute pattern. Merropolitan areas bave more job

~, and the I)-pical bouse bas jobs located in many different directions.
Seco!Id. employees hav. flO( been willing, on .verage, to commute for more than
about 2S mimIes one way. This "typi<:al" commute time is essentially COIlSIan! from
""" luBe ,LdIopolitan area 10 ano:!ler in the United SUItes. The average commute
time is very similar, wbether one liv .. in San Jose, Los Angel .. , Houst<>n, SI. Louis,

Thiro, jobs bave aaditionally shifted over time to be within reasonable distance of a

imbalance leads 10 longer commute trips which results i., traffic congestion and a,r
pollution. A$ ~ above, at the County and metropolitan area level, the average
commute trip is !XX lengthening significantly and is predicted to decrease in the next
do<:ades. Also. for iarge areas. the length of cammures is uot substantially related CO
u.. relative baJanc:e of jobs and housing. That is, people living in areas with a
DIJ%De'rical bol2IlD: of jOOs and housing do not necessarily have a shorter commute tban
people living in areas witt" a jobs-housing imbalance. People select tbeir resid~ntial
location for a l~-ge a..'1d compie,. se't of reasons, of which distance to work is only one
factor.
Certainly traffic congestion has worsened significanlly in the past decades. Tr.iftic
congestion has worsened for a number of reasons, including increased areawide
densl!)' of Jobs and housing witbou1 corresponding increases in transporution
infrastructure; higher labor force participation, which puts more drivers on the road
during peak periods; in<reascd beusebold affiu.=. wbicb bas resulted in more cars
and vehicle trips per household; and changed expectations, especially for younger
drivers, regarding the availability and use of automobiles.
Overall, commuting in the Bay Area accounts for about 2S percent of total vehicle
triPs and about 33 percent of vehicle miles travelled. Even during the morning and

One conclusion of the materi.al in this paper is that an argument can be made that
development of new housing is, in part. an economic resource strategy. The argument
is based on the linked C<Joclusions and assumptions that:
Constrictions 00 labor supply within the commute shed negatively impacts
employers;
Tht: size of the commute shed is not e~~panding;
\"\I'lthin and near the cmnmute shro, there will be increasing job alternatives
wmch can entice employees, especially those in the outer portions of the
commute shed, to take: jobs that have a closer/easier/less tlme-CO!LMnlng
c.om...mute;
Palo Alto residents tend to be more likely than typical to work in Palo Alto;
Creation of • larger labor supply in Palo Alto is a positive economic ractor for
both emplo)'ers and stores generating sales ""'.

If this argumem is valid, then a mtmber of policy approaches in Lie new

(hge S) A problem willi fue 1m 0.5. Census and ABAG housing unit count is
that some Stanford student housing (which in the Census shouid Dot count as
"housing units") was apparently count,d as housing units. The 28,917 housing units
identified for 199{) &hould be approximately 26,600 units. If that ntlmber is inserted

highly ;en.sitivc to the degree of geographical disaggregation, :lT1d it ;s
unclear over what geographical units we shouid be balan'oing (e.g.,
projeel sites., cities, OJ the. 35 sub·ttgions of Southern California used
by SCAG). Serond, neither jobs nor houses are homogeneou,g. so that
good-looking JHB ratios are no sua"",t .. that the wo,kers in a

Third, residential looation decisions are not dominated by commute
minimizing bebo";or. If the commuter can keep bi<'her commL'le
within 21)-ZS minutes (a remarkably stable national .. crage across
"pace and over time), other looational considentions such as the quality
of schools. ntin.i.maJ crime risks, desired seei o-etonomic mix and a
olean environment, not w menti on the obvious factor of compatibility
between income and bousing cost, are likely to be more important.
Fourth, the more or less ubiq'uroos 1'0"0 or more worker households
with different job sites seriously UIldennine the JHB concept. Fifth,
worktrips aCCOWl! for only. quam, of total trips and less thlL~ a third
of total VMT, again undermining IHB approaches although possibly
helping to justify mixed-Iand-use s1r1Itegies. Sixth, stationary source

consequence that air quality regulations and Hili policies may be in

it is likely to happm in the more pe;ipheral San Bernardino and .

Jtwill be im~1 to consider the types of uses that are iiir:ely to be supported not only by
e>is!ing residenls but by rurur. residents who may have dil!erent demographic
~cs.. For example, dual income families with children 'Will have differetlt
spending patte:rns compared to older residents whose children are !.iving away n-C\m home.
N~er residents may have less loyalty to the existing stores In the center. These yeung..
working families also havt' less time to Spari! and In.'ly be more c~ with
conveni<!na!. Providing a wide range of high quality shopping opportuni tics within the
Midtown Shopping Center (i.e" "one stop" shopping) might red""" the leAkage 01 sales to
the larger centers in Menlo Park and MOWltain View.
It may bt-appropriate to consider ways in which the cetter c.an become a focal point for:
corrunWlity activities rather than just a commercial center. This could be accomplished
through promoting II tenant mix that includes sldewaLk cafes, restaura.nts, olna other
entertainmcnt-oriented uses, an<l developing i'l: high quality p')blJc n .. alm thC'!t Lr.ciuoes

appropriate for the City to partidpate in financing the cost of physi-:al.i.lT'.prO\re-'lU'flt5 ~ ud1
as landscaping. lighting. outdoor seating t.ne! other amea.ities. To redu('e the burden on
pIoperty owne."lJi of one-time capital outlay& for public improvements, bonds could be
ii!..~ued by the Gty and reimbUhied with atu1u.al assess:nents nom the property C .... 'neIS.
Any rehabilitation of the center must carefully maruge the impacts of increased traffic
through the design, circulation,. parking a.""ld buffering of tht! center, as well as th.e
integration of transit services and other transportation mitig~tion measures such as delivery
services.
In light 01 the mix of multi-family housing in the immediate vicinity, the center i,
essentially within a mi'led use area. 1t may be possible to acrueve mixed uses on the she i1 it
is feasible from a market standpoint to develop residential uses ()ver retail Market re:r.ean:h
and a.nalysis may be needed to determine whether there is demand for residmtial over
retail in this type of setting. Another 1ssue is the &'-on<mUC' feasibility of providing adecjuate
parking for residential and retail uses. In the event that the recjuired number of surface
parking spaces cannot be aCI.:om.-nodatecl on the site, multi-le .... el structured parking may
need to be built, whid-. is significantly more expensive and may hinder the economic
feasibility of the projed,
Other opportunities for mixed use development may resul t if the size of the reconhgured
shopping area is smalJ enough to allow residential development on a separatE: but
integrated portion of the site. The future uses ot the center need to be .;;,'aJuateci in il
comprehensive manner to determim.' th€" appropriate mix of acti\'itit:>S and to de-nne a

FEASffiILlTY ISSUES
(k10b.7 U, 1994
Page 9
In ~ course of rniewirtg the land use ooncepts that came out of the community
woritshops, • number of questions were raised by staff regarding Ih< f • .,ibllity of spedlic
land 1J.5e prototypes and implementation stra~es. 'A'"hile these questions were asked in
tN.lXlI1rext ot particular planning 0ffilS, ihoy often apply to more that one of the .,. .. that
were the subject. of !he eommunit-j workshcps, as well as other "change areas" throughout
..... City.
Based 00 my~' of the notes trom these sessions, 1 have djstilled what aype.a1 tome to
be tile prinOpoJ qu<otioos that have been asked, and have answered tN.m as far ... poooible
N5ed on the analyses we have done. I want to emphasi7..e that our scope of wack did not
include detailed. OWL."'ket analysis relAted to these issues, but rather a review of existing
studies, suppleme!tted with field surveys and discussions 'with s.taff aI',d ofr.er informed
ind!vid<.J.a.ls. AdditiO!".Jlly, we em provide some i..nsight based on our experience else<.\the:re
and ou". knowledge of real estate d(!\'elopment and redei.'eiopment. In scme cases,
however, as pointed out, additional r~arch and. anaJ,'sis is warranted to more hilly a~
fe.ctibtlity issues.
1. Haw much aett'l..1.nd i.B tht:!'~ for small !ale office in Palo Alto, and d06 this se-em
hke ~ rusonabte strategy?
While d,;ailed markel anaIy.;s would be required 10 quantify the demand for small
cfhce space in Palo Alto in particular locati~, there are some characteristics of PaJo
Alto that s.upport the demand for thi~ type of development. SrMll offiCt' spaces are mOSt
often occupied by small ent:'epreneuria1 business lind personal servil-e firms, such as
consultants, design.", marketing reps, Starl·upsoftware firms, and tN.l!ke. The
proximity of Stanford University prm.ides a source of Jabor for such firms as well as
"""""renews to start such firms. These types of businesses often thrive by providing
services to larger finns, like those found in Stanlord Research Park, which oul-sourc<
certain functions and require various business services.
Key requirements for small offire proj<ct!lare support commt!ICW service;, such as
restaurants. copy shops, and office supplies. Palo Alto offers a wide variety of such
servires, and ..... mixed use cm<epts being considered for Cal V""tura, Midtown, and,
to a lesser extent. E1 Camino would provide suitable 1000.ations for a concentration of
such businesses. Another locational criteria for such small office users is aesthetics.
Sina>: small finns do not require large amounts of space. they often are 'willing to. pay
premium rents to be in loca,tioru with the services and amenities they desire. Palo Alto
generally, and. the types of developments ir.diO'lted for Cal V.mtura and Midtown~
possess or could possess many of these attributes that support the demand for small
office space.

IMPLEMENTATION OPTIONS AND STRATEGIES
In allocating the City's scarce resou.rces to l1;!verage the transformation of declining areas, it
is useful to employ a ~triage" strategy. That is, an appropriate first step is to divid1;!
potential "change areas" into thref: groups: 1) those that are likely to change appropriately
without help; 2) those that all! unlikely to hE' transformed in Ule fOrest"E'abk-future (>'\-'en
wfth the allocation of available gov1;!mment resources; and 3) those that are u!-wkely to
change with.out assIstance, but likely to bE-successful with th~ help ~f available government
resources. City resowces should be fr::lCu..."€d on the latter Mee1.S to achieve optim.al
outcomes.
Th~ tenn "available" gO'\'emm~t resources Sh0!..1Jd be e;mphasized, becau~ virtually any
area can b€ trarufmmed If eno\lg.~ r'l':::o-urces. are invested. l'be ran. 'kings of the 0PPOItuPj!,)'
are.1.S ar~ relative and somewhat ~ubje.-:tio;e. Nevertheil'5s, ba~J on the ""'{Jrk l:.FS h,3,3
conducted, including a review of prior studies, there dre s€1,'eraJ. are,15 that suggest
them..;clvcs ail> appropriate priorities for planning end redevelopment IDt.:€ntives. There ar0
al.so several areas that seem to us to be best !eft!o evoke on their own, or given lower
priority. Some of these areas may ,'.-arrant modHlcation to certain land u:;.c regula tions. b u:
do not require extensive City invotvement i.., managing change. The rcmalnlng "change
areas" are morC' uncertain, Dr we .;imply do not have 5uffici.ent information about th"'m at
this tune to mak~ a t"('(':ommenciation a:,; to \\..-oere they shouJd fit.
HIGH ri{!ORITY AREAS
Hewlett-Pack.ardJFry's. TIUs area seem5 to me to be one of the most compelling sites for the
City's efforts to he!p fadlltate private redevelopment It has. the size to allow a ('...riti(al mass
oJ new development that can create a distinct mixed use node. It lmds itself to an
evolutionary strategy combining both new near-term development and the maintenance
and IOllge-r-tetm transition of existing~. rt has irontagl'S on El Camino Real that could
be transformed as part of a larger redevelopment. FinaUy, it has Significant vacant land and
uses that are now or soon will be in transition. This area calls out for a detailed spe<.'i.fic
plan and private redeveloprmmt implementation strategy.
Midtown. 1his center has the porential to be an ex~mplary rroevelopD'"ltnt of an older,
marginal retail center into a vital com.rnunity commercial and residential are-a, The

A re···(.lfganization of t.~e area around the raU .......... ), tracks and a reJocati.on of t:iL", open space
cou.ld create additional prime dev~opmcnt sites in the il!ea west of the track..,. To the extent
that such a reorga.ni.zahon ailows for a fuller utiliution of the site, the resulting mcrea,'>ed
r€i'J ESC"te \!alu~ could generate SO:J1..-' local ftmding that could !evt>rage external funds,

Tt!3m Area as their .s(gnHicant stature and political clout mjght help In securing f~e.ral and

In swr.ma..-y, \:here is the potential for a fuller utilization of this area if ~ulficient outside
public funding can be ~ for the improvemen~. 1n.ereiore, the City should regard this
project as a High Priority Area for additional planning activities, but it should not compete
with the other HIgh Priority~, de:scri.bed above, for the City's capjtal resources.
LOWER PRIORITY ARE AS
El umino Real. As d!scu.ss.ed above_ I believe that redevelopment along El Camino should
be u.''\dertaken selectively, and in conjunctlOn with larger redevelopment opportunities.
Changing the street sections could substantially L"llpTOVe the appcaran~ of sections of FJ
Camino and mak:e adjoining sites mo~ developilble, However, substat\Ua! alterations to
the street are likcly to be difficult to finance and will invoive ~ daunting approval process.
F.egula.tory approaches that wol.l1d bring development up to the sidewalk, .... lith parking

Howrver. no matter how good we are, there is alway8 [r-"Om for improvement and ever changing drcumsl.JJ1~ rr"quire gdjustment.
Resilknts and othet$ involved with the City win all f«l more satisfu:d if they Me tn:atcd Q.S valued cu!torl1f;rs. City Proct'SSC3

Many institutions have learned that to improve the quvJity of their services they must focus on imprO'!emcflt cfthc proce:<:ses and
delivery of services to the satisfaction of CU5tomers. Both can be tTlCIlSured and compared with resulti from simillll' i'1stitl.ltions to
