D1SCIJSSION
Seven basic issues have been raised with this appeal application. Each of the issues is
summarized and discu.sed below.
I) ~ profJOS'.d project does 1WI conform 10 the Drqft 1994 Stonford Siwpping OnJa
Master /mproveme'll l'ta!I}x righr-4-way improvem£nts S".JC" as curb, planter
strip,aMS~
The Draft 1994 Stanford Shopping Center Master Improvement Plan bas not been
approved by the City of Palo Alto. The draft plan was submined 10 the City in November
1994 and is currently undergoing revisions by Stanford in =ponse ID Cily comments.
Although the revised Master P1an has llOI yet been lOrmaIJy approved by the CiIy, Stanford
Management COOJpany bas provided preliminary cop"'-of the revised street improvement
plan for Council review in relation !O the subject application (see Anachment F). The
revised plan .bows five-feet of rlght-of-",.y d .. , wouk! be available immediately for" ..
as sidewalk along the Quarry Road frontage of this site, plus five reet of oddidonaJ right
of-wa~ 10 be made available at the time street improvements are implemented. Four and
one-half feet 0: the ne .... right-of-way would be used for tree planting and one-half a foot
would a=modate the new CUlb.
Until the Master Plan is approved and the 5treet improvements are implemented. staff
recommended, and the ARB approved, an interim solution for providing tree canopy aIoog
the sile's Quarry Road frontage. F",. feel of right-of-way !hat currently e~ will
berome sidewalk; and five oak troes. ccnsistelll with existing street trees in the area, will
be planted on-site along the northern property line, adjacent 10 Quarry Road. The trees
will provide canopy over the sidewolk, nntil street trees are planted in what will become
the new landscape strip between the realigned roadway and the sidewalk.
The interim landscape solution will provide attraclive landscaping aIoog QJarry Road and
will improve the existing situ2tion. The applicant has demonstrated that future
implementation of the revised draft Improvement Plans ClUl result in tradidonaJ Cily
standard5 being met. The preselll project in 00 way impedes future street improvement
work which may be required in COIIlIe<:tion witl, <>!her Stanford projects. The revised
landscape plans are tentatively scheduled 10 be reviewed by the ARB on I preliminary
basis 011 September 21. 1995.

Requiring the street improvemelllS as part o(!he subject app!ic.otion would add =sary
disruption to the genel3l public. by requiring major road construction as part of the
development of this site and then again when the rest of the road improvements are
implemenled. Further. the traffic which will be genef2ted by the new commercia! nse at
this site does DO( justify imposition of street improvement conditions.
2) 111~ parking lot should be redesigned 10 tlimiNZt~ awlcward mmli!II>'ering 10 tuuf
from parking stalLr.
The site has been specifically designed to allow for a view corridor and pedestrian path to
link the corner 0( Arboretum and Quarry R~ with the interior 0( the adj acent vacant
SIanforo biDd and the arboretum area. Additionally. the bank's progmrunatic requirements
dicLate thai an the required parking be prD'lided on site. They do not wanllO apply for a
parIdng variance. nor is there anything unusual about the site thai would warrant approval
of. variance,
In order 10 accoounodate the view corrid<x and parking objectives. the building is sited at
• CLagooal and occupies approximately a <jU8l1er of the site adjacent 10 Arboretum Road
behind a !Weill) fool landscape selback; parking is provided on the Quarry Road portion
0( the site. Siting the building in this manner and providing L'Je required parking (22
spaces) results in some awkward maneuvering in and oot of some parking stalls.
SpecificaIly. the two eastern-most staTls and the two western-most stalls are easy to enter.
but drivers would have to back out across a large portion 0( the parking lot 10 exit the site.
The two stalls adjacent 10 the right side 0( the driveway, when enll'ring the sile, are
difficult 10 access in • forward Ifuecfion; and drivers would es.sentiaIIy be required to ma!ce
U-lUrns 10 enter the spaces head-on. While some of the movements are awkward. the
Transporta600 Diy ision considers the circulation adequate and safe.
The preliminary proposal for this projeci used the same buMmg and site configuration.
bul had ~ differeD! parking layout wbich also had some difficult spaces to access. After
prelimin.ary review with the ARB. the applicant revised the parking lot design and
relocated the vehicle entranc<: off Quarry Road, so thai il would be further "",ray from the
corner. The redesign improved the functionality of the parking lot and decreased the
aw1cwardness 0( some 0( the OlOVe:ment5, but aKiIl()( completely eliminate an ctfficullies.
Siting the building al I diagonal and providing an required parking on-site will result in
unusual circulation 110 matter ."bich parking lot design is used.
Wben reviewing a development proposal, it is importaDI to consider all 0( the arcbi'.ectural
standards for review and balance them against one another. Mainlailung the view corridor
helps the project meet standard number 2, wbich slates that the desigII 0( the project should

be compatible with !be immediate environment o(!be site. Providing visual access througll
!be subject site and into adjacent sites helps create I cobesive appearance 10 !be entire area.
Creating !be visual connection between sites in the immediate area emphasizes the
comp.a.tibi!ky be!Ween!be subject project and !be rest 0( the area.
Creating this view totrid<J!: does oot preveD! the project from meeting SlaDdard number 10.
wbich slates that access 10 the property and circulation thereon should be safe and
convenient for pcdesIrians. CYCrlSCS and vebkles. Although there are some awkward
movements required 10 eruer and exil • few o(!be parking stalls. the on-site circulation and
parking is still safe and coovenient: When evaluating the project as I wrule. !be trade-off
between providing I safe, convenient, traditionaIly-designed site and parking area that does
oot provide a visual connection 10 other sites in !he area, and provid"mg I safe, convenient,
creatively designed site and parking area with. few awkward movements that provide a
visual connectlon between sites and strengthens the consistency and compatibility in the
area, is I reasonable one.
3) The parking /0( •• Mold be loniJscaped 10 meet the loniJscap' requiremenIs of the Off

The design for the project complies with the Off-Street Parting Or,flnance. Section

The response 10 this romment is largely answered in '1 of this section. One additional
piece ()( inforination related iO this commeI'! is that the future widening of Arboretum Road
would DO( occur aIoog the subject property frontage, and is pLanned 3<:ross ArborelUm
Road in frODlof!he Psychiatric Office/Outpatient Building. The right-of-way expansion
bas already been provided roc in tbe ~lting of the facility, as the right rum 1."e, aligruneDl
of the corner, and remalning sidewalk aIoog Arboretum Road can all be accomplished on
the Psychiatric OfiiceIOutpatielll Builcfmg side of the road.
6) A condition shculd fH added to the project approval by the FlTe DeparrmLlIl whic"
requires removal of rhe cristillg storage/service area 011 rhe project sil'.
The FIre Depar!meDl in their review of !he preflIDinary project provlded comment, dated
March 10, 1995. thaI the malerials in the storage/service area OIl site used by !he Stanford
Shopping Center shaD be reIllO'/ed. Fo< practical reasoos, the existing storage/servke area
and its COOlents will bave 10 be demolished and removed prior 10 any construction ()( the
new building and sile improvements. The approved project plans do DOt include the
s!Or.lge/servke area. Construction of a new buil<fmg cannot physically occur prior 10
detOOlitioo and removal of all existing strucrures and equipment. Staff conclndes thaI there
is DO need roc • separale condition addressing this issue.
7) Approving this project is tl violation of the California brvironmelllal Quality Acr
(CEQAj because it is piecemeafillg the Sranford Shopping Celller Master Plan !Jy
allowing this sire 10 be developed prior 10 rhe fotuu widening of Quarry Road and
Arbor.1IIm Road.
As stated in response 10 comment II. the Stanfon! Shopping Cenler Master Improvement
Plan is a draft plan and DO( yet approved by the City. The plan will be amended in the
near future 10 accommodale ootstanding isSll<'S of the expansion of the Shopping Cenler •
Stanford west and Sand Hill Road Corrido< projects. The development project al 375

diagonal path and view!ine, descn"bed above, and 10 Ibe Jat:st Bank of America prototype for
branch bank interiors. ThIs prototype calls for. c.,colar public space, bordered by. semiciro;l3r
tenor line. The exterior IOnn extends this cooeept by baVLng • semicircular .hape for Ille main
part of the bwld"mg, intertwined with the rectangular form of the vault and employee functions,
A metal canopy completes the exterior, provid"mg snet:er a1 the entra...rce and a place for Ille Ba.ttk
of America sign.
The exterior material's are stone on the nult structure and the waIls adjacent to the path. and
metal panels and glass on the sezruelrcular portion. The colors of the stone and metal ... ilI be in
the beige and ochre IOnes thai are associated with the Stanford campus.
SAFETY AND COMPATIBILITY
The proposed use win not be detri!neotallO the pubfic health, safety, general ""elfare, or
convenience;. and it win not be detrimental or injurious 10: property or improvements in the:
vicinity. The Bank of America branch facility win be located and conducted in • mallner in
accord with the Palo Alto Comprebeosive Plan and the purposes of the zoning ordinance.

The pro~ is. ol>Htn<J b<m:b. bank of approximal<ly 4,400 square foc\. It will contain a
public lobby area, 10ller line, om=s' podium. a \'auI1, employee wotk areas. and restrooms.
~on will be bigh-qu.ality commen:iol, utilizing malerials I!.Cd syst<m. such as reinf,,~
con= :;tone masomy, ~ framing, and glass smrefronu. On the inlcrio<, there w'Jl be an
~ of casewod: w! CUSlcm fixtures. Automatic ten", machines and sophisticated
<OmpulOt equipment al, S'.andmd aM t:SSentlal fixt1lr ...
THE SITE
The sire is • ooe-balf ""'" parcel Bllhe .PO<1heast<rn comer of Arboretum and Quanl Road,
which presen~y incorporBlcs • ~ersecvice area for Stanford Shopping Center maintenanc<:.
It ..... pmiously """"Pied by • gas station. There are some mature oak trees along !he nO<them
and eastern bard.,. oC!he property_
SITEPl.AN
The site pIan is developed in response 10 a desire on Ibe p<:rt of Stanford 10 incorporate a view
<o:rid", and pedestrian pall> !hat fulk the COmet of Arboretum and Quarry Road 10 the interior of
the ',ec!ODgle" and !he Arl>oretum area (fo< futun; "tiliza!icn of. shared University par!cing
facility).
The dUgonal path and yj,w!ine divide Ibe bani: parcel into two equal p:>ru. The portion DC=.sf.
Qumy Road is planned for !he roquiIed 22 patkin~ space>. The balf fronting Arbon:tum is
occupied by the building. When the 2O-foot .. tback is app~ed to Ibe Arboretum frontage, Ibe •
resulting area is the ivaiJabl. building 1Ootpci:>t.
The existing curb line along Quaay Road is eight feel from the property line. The Project's site
pIan koops tbis width ro<. new sidew1llk whicl! mclodes tree pockets wi1h new Oak trees as a
landscape buffu agaiost the road condition. Also Illere is • five fool Iandscaped area ""parating
the sidewalk !rom the Project's patking area. We feel this is a better, more urbao, solution than
the suggestion by !be Cily of alive foot wide planting trip a100g the CUIb with • five foot
sidewall< at the inside.
LANDSCAPE CONCEPT
The landscipe CODC<:pI plan.un. to preserve lbe existing character oCthe SUIFouodIng area. and
~ c!efirK: oin:ulation and use areas. A double row of flowering pe ... tree, strongly defines Ibe
pcim2ry pedestrian cimllation leading from !be inte=tion.1 Arboretum Drive and Quarry
Road. In !be fuluI<, the promenade is intended \0 .><Iend \0 Ille northeast Along the promenade,
biC)cle parking is provided on the soulbwest side of the building. To the northeast side. a service
court is en<:lo",d by • vioe covered fence.
The main entry or parking court on the north side is enclosed by a continuous hedge. At \he
build"mg entryl a pedestrian plaza is s.peciaDy paved. and extends into the parking court. Fltlsb
concrcte bands define the parking stalls in fronl of tbe Bank. Wheel stops provide separation
between veruc1es and pedestrian circuJaticn.

JuflC Maser. "''hat', !be change?
Lorraine; The applic:ant wanted to provido street tree. in the landscape street strip along Quarry
Road. There wasn't enough room for bo(h!he landscopC striP and the pubric sidewalk in the
publi< right..,f''''llY, and instead we .....,bed a compromise, so tlutl the applicant could provide
the oak trees on the private propcr1y frontage oftbe property instead of trees in the pubfic right-
of-way _ The applicant also stated that Ihe proper landscape striP would be added ",hen fuIl road
improvements 10 Quarry Road were impleDlCnted.

an !be revisions and there ate really not v"'l' many and !be 5ito plans are 1=ically !be same. A.5
you recall the I<SpOQSC 10 !be idea ofStanford wantiJ>g 10 bave • way intO !be rectangle .,.. from
thecomcr and !be sito plan I<SpOQSC I<l that as we~ as to the bank's requirements lOr their
iIrtemal prol<lCype. The nu90f challges 00 !be site plan. "0< was mentioned by Lonalne, which is
!be Street !lee treatment, sidewalk landscape !realmenl along Qua'I}' Road and fun Lee can give
you detaJ1s on planting among odler things, if you lil«, in • couple of minules. The other
cbanges an as yoo recall, are: .. e originally bad biC)'CIe parldng in the back corner, lOr very
good' mtSOOS staff is no( favomble '-J that Currently. there are bkyclc racks on the private,
intemaJ walkway as yoc approach the bwlding and then there is an C\-'en closer one right near the
door so there is IlOtru c( SCV'!'EI biC)idcs accommodated and 1hc major cnange that-we discussed
last time was moving the drivC\\'ay further .away from me LntersectiO[l and that has been done.
The staff report correctly points out that tl1crc is a little bit of awkwardness with I coupfe of
par!cing places in here that we think by and large resu!1 from the otll", !hings that we are frying 10
accomplish in I funited area The rendered .. 'ersion oi't.l]at is Tun"5 landscape plan and there are
diffemIces with this !realmenl of the stn'et trees back from the sidewalk giving me", room for
pedestrians. The building ltself is Nndarnentally the same. Originally, even bef«e lhis scheme,
we bad !be front element taller and it broke the height Iimil >0 at !hi. version we bad pushed it
back do_ We were sfightly nnbappy w;th that because it made it the same height as
everything else. We've managed DO'" 10 keep that where it is located. The curved wall~.as a
current height of 21 feet and !be entty fi:atures are at 25 feet. Another comment that we got from
yO'll, David, was \bat could we get Bank of America 10 change its logo col"", 10 ~o better wi'"
_ skin colors. I was unable \0 get that clone but we did the next best thing ,.mel!. was '" challge
." '."
the skin colors slightly. I don·t know. do you have the c:ol~board that we subm1tted earlier?
The metlll .kin had been sort 0{ bronzy beige in this version and it worked fine with the stone so
we have gone 10 I more ctampagne 5VrI of tone vw'hlc'b. wod::s better v.-ith the COfu.l'S and J dOl!·t
knOW,.1le!h<:r you have Il>aI Doe but ll>aI's the only change there. Thi. is the Dew meU!l color, its
called champagne .silver. The other earlier one IS [ said "'IIS •• EgMy bronzer, beigy kind of
color. This would work better with the bank's standard t<>lc<s. All the other materials and colors
are the same. The grey is just the paint ID< the meU!l, canopy and some of the trim. The stone,
two coIOl'S of the stone: are the 0[lP-S that arc shoVwn here a.nd ihar tS about it in \UlnS of coJocs.
Julie J-,faser: YCtI don·t have the actual Bank I)( Arnerka logo?
Don Logan: Its red, blue and while. So [think !hal's all [ have 10 present but I'S be happy 10
answer any questions and Tun can talk .boo! landsape deta~s.
Julie Maser: [ would like 10 review !hat.
Jim: As we originalJy described this is the major entry point and w< have developed this with
II«s. A lot of Arboretum Rood is very ruraJ and in t"", we are picking !hal np and adding Oak
trees along tho! <rea. On Quarry Rood basically there is I relatively new state improvement
program wbe1e Oak trees arc nseIl for street ~ with 2 tree. intermediate so we are tryiJIg 10
maintain !hat kind of street tree for our ccmmuruty. The property line is right there as shOWD in
the landscape zone between the property line and the parking area and so tho! is 5 feet right there.
So what remains is a S-foot sidewalk in that location. So what wc·ve dace now is actually.put

troubled by !be awkwardness of. coupl. of spaces. I think poople adapIlo thaI very wen and I
\, .
find ~ T nlInsportation Dept 10 be quite c:onscrvatiyC' in these: maneJ3. In f3'..-;' we have many

IDOOIIlle zoning requirements. They've done • good j..--b responding 10 Iha!. The siting, T find

implica60m or .ffects on \his building "'. such !bat \his design is • logical response 10 these

~. -, .
bas an""'pred Ie cflSCOU<8ge brightly Ii! signage as wen as signage tfud is lit dwing hours of non-

They'H know !he sit •• thoy'li know where the ATMs ore and !he need fOr "'parate sign that
identifies the A TMs with the name for the A TM be Ver.;atefie •. That's certainly is not part of the
cornpany name so I would question wbether that is appropriate or cCtmprianJ V,1th the signage
ordinance. As wen 10 the other signs are \o'ezy large-and ir,temaDy iIJumil"..3ted 50 I would suggest
lb., !he lighting on L'>e signs be reexamined and a!s<> the hours of the 6gb! and the size,
spe.:ifi<:ally "" the come'! and the enlry signage. If yon look at the ,Iev.liar, I don', ..,.
cfunensions but the logo over !he front door is vcry large. I think tlw should be reevaluated.
That's 00( going 10 be .cry visible from offsite because iI is 4S degree angle from the
intersection facing away 50 il doesl!.~1 serve the user .. great deal in tenns of cxposme and once
you are in the parking!ol yoo know .. flere you = so you dec" neod 10 see the logo. J think the
facade signage of the entry and 1iIC' signage facing the intersectioc be reexamined.
Jun. Maser: OK 1hanks Tun, Bob'

Bob Petaso<t: Yes; first of an 1 .. "",I to compu-m you on the building and the landscaping, I
think its terrifi<; and "ay ve,y banJsome. I'~e got two problems, ODC is tb< signas. and the other
is the illumination. I could iJna8ine the logo .tay\ni on at nigllt but not the rest of me ~ghu.

consistent land>cape scheme. Th<: street tree must be consistent with existing street trees.
A 2:1 replacement ratio is required fur any trees removed.s. result of accidental damage
