Architectural Review Board
1. What is it about the Architectural Review Board that is compatible with your experience and of
specific interest to you, and why?
I am an experienced local architect. I have worked successfully with the Palo Alto Planning and
Buildnig Department on many projects. I have served on other design review boards and am
familiar �ith the procedures and practices of public service.
I believe that it is important to "give back" to the community.
2. Please describe an issue that recently came before the Board that is of particular interest to you
and describe why you are interested in it. If you have never been to a Board meeting you can view
an archive here: LINK.
429 University Avenue is a project meeting the 'objective' requirements (parking, FAR, height) yet
still not fulfilling the 'subjective' requirements (compatibility, scale, massing). Much contention
could have been avoided had the ARB been more insistent that the project comply with the
subjective requirements of the Design Guidelines and Comprehensive Plan, even if it reduced the
allowed maximums of the Zoning Code.
3. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Architectural Review Board achieve,
and why? How would you suggest accomplishing this? 1. I would like to see the Architectural Review Board be more willing to compromise on the objective standards of the Zoning Code to fullfill the subjective standards of the Design Guidelines and Comprehensive Plan. 2. I would like to see the Architecture Review Board (and City Council, and Planning Staff) provide more concrete feedback to reduce the number of design review cycles and move projects through the review process efficiently.
4. Please identify a project or projects that you find to be examples of good architecture, and
explain why. You may attach samples, identify project addresses, or provide links. If you
attach samples, staff may request that you bring hard copy print outs to the interviews.
1. 520 Cowper Street (Garden Court Hotel)-a wonderfully pedestrial friendly street front with e spacious end well designed vehicular entrance at the hotel help mask the mas of the buildng. Careful and playful detailing and lots of balconies provide en attractive link to Palo Alto's architecture heritage.
2. Courthouse Square, Redwood City-sometimes no buildng is best of all. A we;; used and loved public space created with lots of community input. Small flanking gazebos enhance the pedestrian nature of the public square.
3. 1600 El 'Gamino, Menlo Park (NE corner of El Camino end Encinal)-a beautifully executed rendition of a Mediterranean style building built in the twentieth-first century. The materials, detailing and massing fit the site and community and, while gently evoking the past, are not reproductions of outdated building techniques.
4. 270 University Avenue (Jos. A Banks store)-a well designed urban storefront that is both of our time (contemporary detailing and sustainable) yet of a scale and massing to fit into the University Avenue streetscape as a good neighbor. Not every building should be this dramatic, yet once in a while it is refreshing.
5. Architectural Review Board Members work with the documents listed below. If you have
experience with any of these documents, please describe that experience. Experience with these
documents is not required for selection.

Architectural Review Board
1. What is it about the Architectural Review Board that is compatible with your experience and of
specific interest to you, and why?
As a designer and project manager, I am constantly working towards the highest possible solution for any
given situation. A one size fits all approach rarely works. What interests me most about being on the
Architectural Review Board, is the opportunity to have a meaningful influence on the future of the City of
Palo Alto as it is seen by its buildings and dwellings. This includes consideration for the past builders who
have contributed to the architectural value of the City, and encouraging today's builders to take the long
view about how the City will be seen in the future.
2. Please describe an issue that recently came before the Board that is of particular interest to you
and describe why you are interested in it. If you have never been to a Board meeting you can view
an archive here: LINK.
There have been several submissions that have come before the Board in the past few years that
did not meet the Design Guidelines, and architecturally were out of scale and out of character with
the neighboring structures. Progress does not need to be done at the expense of destroying the past
in every facet. Preservation does not only have to be about saving the existing structures, it can also
mean preserving the scale and character of neighborhoods with whatever is newly built.
3. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Architectural Review Board achieve,
and why? How would you suggest accomplishing this?
The most significant goal I have for the Architectural Review Board to achieve is pursuing a balance between
progress and preservation. I believe that one of the first steps to achieving this is better communication between the
Applicant and their neighbors, before making a submission. Then upon reviewing a submission, evaluating the effort
of the Applicant to develop within the Design Guidelines, Zoning, Planning and Building Codes, as they apply, or
demonstrating that a deviation from these is in the best interest of the neighborhood and City as much as it may be
for their project.
4. Please identify a project or projects that you find to be examples of good architecture, and
explain why. You may attach samples, identify project addresses, or provide links. If you
attach samples, staff may request that you bring hard copy print outs to the interviews.
The David & Lucile Packard Foundation Building, Los Altos -energy efficiencient, excellent use of daylight, sustainable design, and it is artful in
appearance.
New Mitchell Park Library Branch -also an environmentally friendly building, including the landscaping, with a good blend of differing public spaces for
different uses. . ·
Ramona Street National Historic District - beautiful example of the retention and repair of the character of an historic building and area

1. What ls it about the Architectural Review Board that is compatible with your experience and of
specific interest to you, and why?
I currently serve as the Chair for the Palo Alto Architectural review Board. Service to my
community is very important to me. I have also served as a Planning Commissioner including
being ifs Chair for the City of San Mateo for the 2 four year terms allowed by law.
2. Please describe an issue that recently came before the Board that is of particular interest to you
and describe why you are interested in it. If you have never been to a Board meeting you can view
an archive here: LINK.
As a current Board member in my opinion, there is no one over riding issue that compels me to
serve or is more important than another. I believe all projects brought before the Board need
attention to make them a good fit for the residents of the city. A big issue to me is the
misconception that the Board is only there to serve the developers who come before us. I believe
our most important role is to be fair to all. Neighbors, City residents and applicants.
3. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Architectural Review Board achieve, and why? How would you suggest accomplishing this?
Continue my quest to show that the Board is there to serve the entire community. Homeowners
as well as applicants and strive to have the final approved project be the best solution for all. A
sort of win-win solution. A good final solution takes hard work by the Board as well as
cooperation from the applicant and some give-and-take from the neighborhood.
4. Please Identify a project or projects that you find to be examples of good architecture, and
explain why. You may attach samples, identify project addresses, or provide links. If you
attach samples, staff may request that you bring hard copy print outs to the interviews.
1451 California Avenue -A good infill residential project.
450 Bryant -Good reuse of the Historic Police Department building in lieu of tearing it down.
Palo Alto Medical Clinic infill. The development of a nice residential area where the old clinic
was formerly located.

Architectural Review Board
1. What Is It about the Architectural Review Board that Is compatible with your experience and of
specific Interest to you, and why?
Based on my own knowledge "della fabrica", the way you explore and develop ideas and work on
it to pursue the purpose "to make them real". I mean significant and relevant to the site (history I
nature) and who can be more or less gradually revealed to the conscience of everyone.
I will be interested to switch place and point of view to try to help projects go further, trying to
make rich and profitable the difference of culture, of architectural practice and of the way to built.
2. Please describe an Issue that recently came before the Board that Is of particular Interest to you
and descrtbe why you are Interested In It If you have never been to a Board meeting you can view

I have no specific information about a particular case, but I have been witnessing over the last few years the restart of a cycle of tearing down
small things and replacing them with huge structures, all over the bay area and very so oin Palo alto, and I am concerned about how the board
can help maintain high qual�y standards through a period of shifting life style.
I was in arcMecture school in the BO's in Paris when 6 "new cities" were built in a rush in the fields around Paris, with very l�Ue previous
thinking and while are historic cities were being bulldozered by developers. Nobody had envisionned the society problems this ideological c�y
planning would generate, but we all spent our carrier years to fix the problems due to density and lack cl upstream thinking and control. I would
be very motivated to help the Architectural Review Board keep Palo alto friendly, green and residential.
3. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Architectural Review Board achieve,
and why? How would you suggest accomplishing this?
Building on my experience, I hnk Pat> Alto's miSlion as a forward looking and glcbaly a<rrWed city Is to set �standards about how nelgl"bahoods can be "4brant and quiet, busy and green.
Palo alto should harmoRously develop the em.4rooment but �Ml every aie's Identity and freedom. I think It Is a fascinating miStion. How does "city planrktg" el'ICClUrage "IMng together", •energy and ressouce conservation", meamlngfuil life", "elllclent business"? It seemi Impossible to 11gin out Iha athemy WhO can rTBke an �esslve poem or a strong nove� and to be a physical 30 product Is not enough to C001Jlete Iha goel of to be "arcNledtn".
Production of "archllec!IA" begin \!otlere thoughts and material merge together t> jj\18 form and meanlng-maldng regarding t> the en"4ronment In any of Its aspects: slle,
local history, imarism, �rarrmlng ... by respect of hannonlous oldomanoe scupled by scales, oomposilon Ines, masses, materials, cobrs ... and volUmes. I do belew that "archltec\Jre" can be touchable a bite by neophyle people and that's the key point to 81'1CClUrage will ent1'1Jsla1111 an archllectwal prodUcifoo.
4. Please Identify a project or projects that you find to be examples �good architecture, and
explain why. You may attach samples, Identify project addresses, or provide links. If you
attach samples, staff may request that you bring hard copy print outs to the Interviews.
Let me talk about Palo Alto City Hall. I doni know if it v.iorks well internally, but I feel it provides PA downtown with remaquable qualities. Its volume
make it Sland out like a gOYl!l'nment bu !ding shwld, its crchitectual design, the material employed giws a scale and style reference. It's a landmark
This also manage to aeate a Euupean style "piazza• which is both a focal point. a breath In the cly, a gap in the canol7)', a hartxu while it reveals the
Institution's importance, providing pUblic parking too. I absolutely do no mean private buldlngs should be allowed v.t\81 the city hall ls. I mean that
architectural design, volume, laycut building implementation must be use to bull a nelghboftlood quality, an ader in the City meaning and hierarchy.
However br the Mure, I strongly believe buildings should be design Cl'OUnd the sun so they are positive energy sdCI' powered, so they treat the sunlight
and allOIN quality Inner spaces while reducing the need of air condltiCl'lning and artificial lighting.
To my European eyes, LEED Platinum Is an easy target. I Wish Palo Alto Will really invent the next step ...
