Meeting Date: December 18, 2023
Report #:2308-1964
TITLE
Request for Pre-Screening of Application to Amend the Development Agreement and South of Forest Area Phase 1 Coordinated Area Plan for 260 Homer Avenue that Currently Restricts the Amount of Space that One or More Commercial Office Tenants can Occupy at the Property.

Zoning District: AMF (MUO). CEQA Status: Not a Project.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council conduct a pre-screening and provide informal comments regarding the applicant’s request to amend the South of Forest Area Phase 1 Coordinated Area Plan (SOFA 1) and Development Agreement at 260 Homer Avenue. Comments provided during the prescreening process are not binding on the City or the applicant.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This pre-screening is a request by the applicant to remove the 10,000 square foot (sf) office tenant occupancy limitation established by the SOFA 1 development agreement between the City of Palo Alto and Palo Alto Medical Foundation and the limitation within the South of Forest Area Phase One (SOFA 1) Plan. The applicant has an existing tenant that wishes to grow in place in Palo Alto but is limited by these provisions; absent searching for another space to occupy. There are no other physical changes proposed to the site, and the agreement would remain unchanged outside of how much space a single occupant could occupy in the AMF (MUO) district.

BACKGROUND
In 1991, the City of Palo Alto (City) and the Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) entered into a Development Agreement (Palo Alto Ord. 4050) with respect to certain PAMF property in Downtown Palo Alto, upon which PAMF intended to develop an expanded medical clinic and medical research facility. That agreement was amended twice, in 1996 and then in 2000, when the PAMF developed its current facility at Urban Lane (Palo Alto Ord. 4332 and 4627, respectively). As a result of PAMF leaving the Downtown Area in the late 1990s, the City engaged with the PAMF, residents, and businesses to develop the South of Forest Area Phase 1 (SOFA I) and Phase 2 (SOFA II) Coordinated Area Plans to guide development within the area. This resulted in the creation of Heritage Park, retention of historic buildings (such as the French Laundry and Item 4

Roth buildings), construction of the Oak Court Apartments, as well as other housing projects and public benefits.

The project site is located within the boundaries of the SOFA I Coordinated Area Plan and is the only site designated as “Attached Multi-Family (AMF) with a Mixed-Use Overlay (MUO).” In addition to the allowable uses of the AMF district, the MUO applies the following additional restriction:

1. Medical, Professional, and General Business Offices, provided that:
a. No single user may occupy more than 10,000 useable square feet of office area.

As a part of the amended development agreement in 2000, the permitted uses for the project refer directly to the uses in the AMF (MUO) zone district. Although the MUO specifies a 10,000 sf maximum for a single tenant, the development agreement also includes a limitation. The provision states, “There shall be no single tenant that occupies more than one-third of the net useable office space” and places a limit of 96 workstations for the non-residential square footage.

In 2007, the applicant filed an application to remove these provisions from the development agreement and MUO regulations in the SOFA I document. The applicant sought additional flexibility when selecting tenants that want to expand in place or have a larger footprint than could be accommodated within 10,000 sf. At the time, the applicant had offered to remove Medical Office as a permitted use in the MUO regulations, due to concerns that medical offices would create higher volumes of in-and-out traffic as compared to other office uses. Ultimately the applicant withdrew that application. Staff notes the administrative record did not include strong opposition from City staff or the Planning and Transportation Commission (PTC) to the changes proposed at that time.

ANALYSIS
Researching the discussions and decision-making behind the adopted policies and development standards for SOFA I is challenging. Many of those discussions took place in the working group forum over two decades ago and were not formally recorded. In the meeting minutes of the February 9, 2000 PTC meeting, Commissioners commented on the neighborhood’s desires to limit commercial uses, keep these uses in scale with the neighborhood, and keep the “homey” street frontage. Commissioners that attended the September 26, 2007 PTC meeting recollected that these were concerns from residents at the time for this site.

Staff reviewed Commission meeting minutes in 2000 and 2001, and discussions regarding the mixed-use concepts in SOFA 1, along with general support of the development that was then constructed at the project site. The SOFA 1 plan notes that Mixed Use Districts were established to allow additional office development beyond the .4:1 Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and 5,000 sf office limit set forth in the CD-S zoning district, in exchange for additional housing – this is noted in the SOFA 1 plan. The CD-S and CD-N districts at the time (and to this day) limited new office uses to 5,000 sf and prohibited the conversion of other uses to office use once the office square footage, or 'any combination of such uses on a site’ has reached 5,000 sf. The rationale for increasing the limitation from 5,000 sf to 10,000 sf was to “encourage housing and employment near downtown Item 4

transit and services.” Staff could not locate any minutes that explored a potential higher limit than 10,000 sf for the SOFA 1 plan area. Such limitations on office sf are typically established to control the scale of office use near smaller buildings having non-office uses. At the time Council adopted the SOFA 1 plan, there had been a ‘dot-com boom’ of office space increases in Palo Alto that some have argued was detrimental to smaller retail businesses; this led to the placement of zoning restrictions on the size of office spaces on commercially zoned property in Palo Alto in 2001.

As noted earlier in the staff report, this property is currently the only AMF site with a MUO combining district located in SOFA I. There would be no physical changes made to the exterior of the structure to accommodate the applicant’s requested modifications to the development agreement and SOFA Phase I document. However, a larger tenant could have an outsized presence and may affect the perceived scale of the neighborhood. Throughout the SOFA I and II documents, the City highlighted the importance of future development having a residential scale.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS
Pre-screenings are intended to solicit early feedback on proposed projects and, like all study sessions cannot result in any formal action. Therefore, informal comments from Councilmembers would not impart policy. Council’s feedback on key requests such as eliminating the tenant square footage limitation and appropriateness of larger tenants in the area will help to inform whether there is interest in pursuing this modification to the development agreement between the City and PAMF and development standards in the SOFA I document. A modification to the SOFA development standards, if approved, may have policy implications that would encourage similar requests.

FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
There is no significant fiscal or resource impact associated with the recommendation in this report.

TIMELINE
Following the prescreening review, the applicant will consider Council’s comments and determine how they want to proceed. Any formal application to modify the SOFA I document would be subject to the PTC and Council’s purview.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
The Palo Alto Municipal Code requires notice of this public hearing be published in a local paper and mailed to owners and occupants of property within 600 feet of the subject property at least ten days in advance. Notice of a public hearing for this project was published in the Daily Post on September 22, 2023, which is 10 days in advance of the meeting. Postcard mailing occurred on September 18, 2022, which is 14 days in advance of the meeting. No public comments have been received since the filing of this application.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The prescreening is a preliminary review process in which Councilmembers may provide comments, but no formal action will be taken. Therefore, no review under the California Environmental Quality Action (CEQA) is required at this time. A full review in accordance with CEQA would be initiated with the formal filing of a development application.

6. An exisƟng internaƟonal accounƟng firm that currently leases approximately ~28% of the Property expressed interest in leasing the vacant suite from Ownership, but due to the occupancy restricƟon, Ownership could not accommodate the tenant.

7. AddiƟonal tenants, including our new tenant, have inquired as to the opƟonality for future expansions within the Property.  The occupancy restricƟons hinder interest from tenants that desire the flexibility to grow within the Property if their space needs change.

8. Despite a challenging office leasing environment brought on by COVID‐19 , Ownership is unable to facilitate any potenƟal future expansion interest due to the sƟpulaƟons contained in Exhibit D‐1, SubsecƟon E. of the Development Agreement.

9. Ownership communicated with Amy French and Jodie Gerhardt from the Palo Alto Planning Commission in late 2022 to understand the process and requirements for an applicaƟon request seeking either an amendment to the Development Agreement or a condiƟonal use permit.

Owner’s Statement –
Ownership’s advocacy for removal of the occupancy restricƟon in Exhibit D‐1, SubsecƟon E. of the Development Agreement is highlighted below:

1. According to Newmark Knight Frank, as of Q4 2022, Palo Alto has a total office availability rate of almost 21%, and a direct vacancy rate of 17%. With just over 2 million Item 4

square feet of direct and sublease office vacancy, it is a challenging leasing environment for office landlords. The increase in vacancy and office uƟlizaƟon has harmful second order effects for local economies. According to a local paper’s arƟcle published 11/8/2022, “Most council members acknowledged the need to readjust expectaƟons to account for the dwindling number of commuters coming into town. Council member Alison Cormack called the change in employees the biggest challenge we have”. We agree with this asserƟon. Using a conservaƟve esƟmate of 150 square feet per person, current office vacancy levels equate to enough office space for nearly 14,000 employees.

As a point of reference, the office availability rate in Q3 2019 was half of what it is today, at 11%. AddiƟonally, overall office uƟlizaƟon rate remains ~60‐70% down from 2019 levels.  The result is local retail and services businesses supported by office workers losing significant foot traffic and sales revenue and the City of Palo Alto losing significant retail sales tax.

2. While the macro forces that caused this disrupƟon in the office and retail sectors among others cannot be solved directly by the City of Palo Alto, there are acƟons the City can take to help ameliorate the negaƟve effects to the local economy, and local landlords, without compromising its own goals. Ownership had immediate leasing interest for an approximately 10,000 SF space from a highly reputable internaƟonal accounƟng and financial services firm, which would supply increased foot traffic, local services, and retail demand, but the Development Agreement precluded this lease, and its associated posiƟve externaliƟes from materializing. This resulted in an approximate 14 month period of addiƟonal downƟme, in which Ownership, and the local economy suffered as a Item 4

result. The occupancy restricƟon’s long term effect of decreasing the leaseability increases the likelihood of experiencing extended periods of vacancy, which has harmful economic impacts to the local economy and local landlords.

3. Increased flexibility through an amendment of the Development Agreement would include several benefits:
a. Local retailers and service providers would benefit from increased foot traffic and demand for their products and services.
b. The City of Palo Alto would benefit from higher sales tax, driven by the increased office worker/commuter presence.

Owner’s Requested Planning Department AcƟon –
The Owner requests that the Planning Department remove the occupancy restricƟon in quesƟon.

TITLE
Review and Approve the Williamson Act Contract Renewals Within Palo Alto City Limits (2023)

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Find that the project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15317; and

2. Approve the renewal of Williamson Act contracts listed in Attachment A.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Palo Alto currently has 23 properties (350.05 acres of land) in contract under the Williamson Act. The proposed Council action would extend these 23 existing Williamson Act contracts between the City and landowners for another ten-year term starting January 1, 2024.

The City did not receive any request for nonrenewal during this reporting cycle. Following Council action, the City will submit its annual report to the California Department of Conservation by January 31, 2024.

BACKGROUND
The Williamson Act is a State program which discourages agricultural lands from being converted to urban uses, preserves open space, and promotes efficient urban growth patterns.

Under the Williamson Act, private landowners can voluntarily restrict their land to agricultural and compatible open space land uses under a minimum ten-year rolling term contract. These contracts are administered by the respective jurisdictions. In return, the State assesses the restricted parcels for property taxes at a rate consistent with their actual use or generated income, rather than potential market value. The program provides property tax relief to owners of agricultural land who agree to limit the use of their property to agricultural or other approved Item 6
Item 6 Staff Report

Item 6: Staff Report

compatible uses.

On July 24, 1974, the City of Palo Alto adopted to institute rules for both establishing and administering Williamson Act contracts for Palo Alto properties. The rules regarding the administration of established contracts limit the allowable uses of the property to what is described in the contract. The regulations also provide that the contract must remain in place when a property is sold, ensuring that the new owners are subject to the same use restrictions.

The contracts are for a rolling ten-year term with a renewal date of January 1 each year, at which time one year is added to the contract term. The term would remain a total of ten years unless the City or property owner provides notice of non-renewal.

Previously, the California Department of Conservation’s Williamson Act Program required participating cities and counties to complete and submit applications for an Open Space Subvention Act payment as per Government Code section 16144, but now with the passing of the reporting requirements have changed. The reporting of Williamson Act enrollment now is no longer collected through the Open Space Subvention Survey; instead, enrollment reporting is through the collection of data via GIS files before January 30th of each year. It now requires each city or county in which an agricultural preserve is located to provide the Department of Conservation with geographical information system (GIS) data files of all agricultural preserves and Williamson Act contracted land in existence at the end of the preceding year.

Every year, prior to the January 1 renewal date, the City Council reviews the contracts. At that time, Council may initiate a notice of non-renewal for any contract or approve a notice of non- renewal submitted by a landowner. If the Council takes such action, then that contract does not renew on January 1 and terminates ten years later. Under certain conditions, the Council may also approve a landowner’s request to cancel a contract. Should Council not approve a notice of non-renewal or cancellation, the contract automatically renews for the ten-year term each January 1.

ANALYSIS
The Williamson Act Property Report for the calendar year 2023 (Attachment A) includes information on the 23 existing parcels in Palo Alto currently under contract, as well as parcels undergoing the process of non-renewal. Attachment A lists 2023 assessed land values, acreages, and the land class (prime and non-prime land) for these parcels. Attachment B is a map showing the locations of these individual parcels.

Properties Under Contract Renewal

term, starting from January 1, 2024. Of the 23 contracts, the privately-operated Palo Alto Hills Golf and Country Club is not eligible for tax benefits. Although this golf course is a permitted use, only golf courses that are open to the public and charge minimal green fees are eligible for tax benefits.

A total of 350 acres of land are under Williamson Act contracts in the City. Approximately 42% of this land (147 acres) is defined as prime land with a Class I or Class II natural resource conservation service rating. Class I or II lands are considered to have the features to sustain long-term agricultural production. Private individuals own about 70% of the land under contract, Stanford University Board of Trustees owns another 27%, and the City of Palo Alto owns the remaining three percent.
￿The , the last published report by the California Department of Conservation in May 2022, provides a detailed report of all lands enrolled in the program throughout the state of California from January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2021.Williamson Act Status Report 2020-21 1, the last published report by the California Department of Conservation in May 2022, provides a detailed report of all lands enrolled in the program throughout the state of California from January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2021.

Properties Under Contract Non-Renewal
There were no applications for Williamson Act contract non-renewal filed with the City between August 1, 2022, through December 1, 2023. At present, there are two parcels, previously approved for non-renewal by the Council (in 2014 and 2016), that are undergoing the ten-year non-renewal process for termination. The two parcels will reach the end of their remaining terms on December 31, 2024, and 2026 respectively (see Attachment A for parcel details).

POLICY IMPLICATIONS
The Williamson Act program complies with the goals of the Natural Environment Element of the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The Natural Environment Element encourages the protection and conservation of Palo Alto’s open space, natural resources, and ecosystems. Program N1.3.1 of Goal N-1 specifically supports the preservation of Palo Alto’s Williamson Act agricultural preserves. The recommended action also implements Ordinance No. 2663 regarding the administration of the Williamson Act for Palo Alto properties. 1 Williamson Act Status Report 2020-21:

FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
The City does not receive any property tax revenue for those parcels enrolled in the Williamson Act program. The State of California bases property tax assessment for Williamson Act parcels on a rate consistent with the actual land use or generated income, rather than its potential market value. Because of this method of assessment, the City does not receive market value tax revenue for these properties. Based on data collected from the County Assessor’s Office, the City would have received approximately $17,700 in tax revenue if the parcels were not under Williamson Act contracts.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
This is a required annual reporting to the Department of Conservation. The City does not typically perform public outreach or contact affected property owners unless the property owners initiate changes. This type of reporting does not require any additional public engagement.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15317 (Open Space Contracts or Easements) of the CEQA Guidelines.

From: City Manager
Report Type: CONSENT CALENDAR
Lead Department: Public Works
Meeting Date: December 18, 2023
Report #:2311-2197
TITLE
Approval of Construction Contract with GradeTech, Inc. in the Amount of $296,599 and Authorization for the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute Change Orders up to a Not-to- Exceed Amount of $29,659 for Site Work for Rinconada Park Improvements (PE-08001) and Ramos Park Restroom Installation (PG-19000) Projects; CEQA status – exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15303

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council:

1. Approve and authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute construction contract No. C24189510 with GradeTech, Inc. in an amount not-to-exceed $296,599 for the Site Work for restroom installation under the Rinconada Park Improvements (PE- 08001) and Ramos Park Restroom Installation (PG-19000) projects; and

2. Authorize the City Manager or their designee to negotiate and execute change orders to the contract with GradeTech, Inc., the total value of which shall not exceed $29,659, for related, additional but unforeseen work that may arise.

BACKGROUND
The Rinconada Park Long Range Plan, adopted by Council in 2017, identified the need for a new restroom at the west end of Rinconada Park. A Park Improvement Ordinance1 was also adopted by Council on January 13, 2020 and second reading2 on May 1, 2023, describing Phase 1 improvements to Rinconada Park including a new restroom facility. 1 City Council, January 13, 2020; Agenda Item #2, SR #10576, https://portal.laserfiche.com/Portal/DocView.aspx?id=64942&repo=r-704298fc&searchid=3a5dc990-c584-4a83- a0df-7f52e90eaba3

On June 22, 2021, Council approved a construction contract3 for Phase 1 of the Rinconada Park Improvements project (PE-08001), which included park infrastructure, accessibility, and maintenance improvements to the western half of the park. The improvement project was completed in May 2022. However, due to budget constraints and to prioritize improvements, staff removed the new restroom facility from the initial scope of Phase 1 park improvements.

This change to Phase 1 was presented to Council on March 1, 2021. Funding for the new restroom was later added to the Rinconada Park Improvements project (PE-08001) for Fiscal Year 2023. The proposed restroom will service the entire park but will be closer to the newly renovated playground and group picnic areas at the west end of the park.

The Park Restroom Installation project (PG-19000) provides funding for installation of one restroom every other year at City parks that currently do not have restroom facilities, have high visitation, and are approximately two acres or larger. The project is funding the installation of a restroom at Ramos Park. The Palo Alto Parks, Trails, Natural Open Space, and Recreation Master Plan (2017) identified Ramos Park as a potential location for a restroom to support the park facilities. A Park Improvement Ordinance4, adopted by Council on April 19, 2021, included park improvements and a new restroom facility for Ramos Park.

On April 10, 2023, Council approved a Purchase Order5 for the purchase of two modular park restroom buildings for Rinconada and Ramos parks. The buildings are currently being fabricated by the restroom vendor, Public Restroom Company, and will be ready for delivery in winter 2024. The site work for the restrooms that will be performed under this construction contract includes site preparation, demolition, utilities, concrete paving, asphalt paving, irrigation, landscape/planting, coordinating with the restroom vendor for delivery and installation of the new modular buildings, and making final utility connections.

ANALYSIS
Procurement Process

Staff has reviewed all bids and recommends that the Base Bid of $296,599 be accepted and that GradeTech, Inc. be declared the lowest responsible bidder. The construction contingency amount of $29,659, which equals 10% of the contract value, is requested for related, additional, but unforeseen work which may arise during the project, implemented via City-approved change orders.

Staff reviewed information and similar projects performed by GradeTech, Inc. and found them to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Staff also checked with the Contractor’s State License Board and confirmed that the contractor has an active license on file.

Staff recommends approval of Contract No. C241895106 in the amount of $296,599 with GradeTech, Inc.

FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Funding for this contract is available in the Fiscal Year 2024 Adopted Capital Improvement Program Fund Rinconada Park Improvements (PE-08001) and Park Restroom Installation (PG- 19000) projects.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Two community meetings (January and August 2020) and a Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) meeting (February 2020) were held to obtain input on the Ramos Park Renovation and restroom project. On December 15, 2020, the PRC recommended a Park Improvement Ordinance for Council approval.

Two community meetings (February and April 2019), a PRC meeting (February 2019), and a Youth Advisory Board meeting (March 2019) were held to obtain input on the Rinconada Park Improvement Project including the new restroom. The PRC recommended a Park Improvement Ordinance on May 28, 2019, later revised on September 24, 2019 with the added fire pit area for Council approval.

Community meetings were held for both Rinconada and Ramos Park restroom projects in February 2023 to provide updates to the community on the latest project plans. In March 2023, a minor Architectural Review Board approval was provided for both restrooms. In November 2023, building permits were issued for both restrooms.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The installation of modular restroom buildings is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15303 (New Construction of Small Structures) of the CEQA guidelines.

ANALYSIS
Minimum Wage:

This applies to all employees who work two (2) hours per week within Palo Alto. Each year after 2019, the City adjusts the minimum wage based on the U.S.

Department of Labor’s Regional Consumer Price Index. Effective January 1, 2024, the minimum wage rate for the City of Palo Alto is $17.80 per hour.

The City’s Minimum Wage webpage has helpful information for local businesses:
https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/minimumwage
The January 1, 2024 minimum wage requires adjustment to the starting/minimum salary of some of the City’s temporary hourly positions, as shown in the attached salary schedules (Attachment A and B). This action is required to maintain compliance, as an employer, with the City’s Minimum Wage Ordinance.

Salary Schedule Revisions:

3. SEIU Salary Schedule (Attachment E):
•The revision incorporates the new classifications adopted by City Council through the budget process and reflects the completion of appropriate discussion with the union: Senior Building Inspector, Senior Plans Check Engineer Associate Sustainability Programs Administrator, Utility Systems Technicians, and Senior Utility System Technician.

All salary schedule revisions for Management and Professional and FCA were included in the FY 2024 Adopted Budget. The revisions to the SEIU salary schedule were all included in the FY 2024 Adopted Budget and the final negotiated changes for the Park Ranger and Dispatcher positions will be absorbed by the operating department budgets in the current fiscal year.

These changes result in minimal additional costs and will be included in the development of the FY 2025 Proposed Budget.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
City staff will post the Memorandum of Agreements and salary schedules on the City’s website after Council adoption for public access.
