TITLE
FIRST READ: Adopt an Ordinance Amending PAMC Chapter 10.56 (Special Speed Zones) to Update Speed Limit Studies for Nine Streets and Approve the 2025 Traffic Survey; CEQA status – categorically exempt.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve the 2025 Engineering and Traffic Survey (Attachment A), and
2. Adopt an ordinance re-establishing posted speed limits for nine streets pursuant to the California Vehicle Code (Attachment B).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents the results and recommendations of the engineering and traffic survey that was conducted as Phase 2 in 2025 for nine street segments (Attachment A). This updated survey was intended to serve as the basis for the establishment and enforcement of speed limits for certain street segments within the City of Palo Alto. These enforceable speed limits incorporate the provisions of recent legislative changes from Assembly Bill (AB) 43 and AB 1938.
Based on the results of the Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS), existing posted speed limits on nine street segments would either continue to be, or would be newly justified by the survey, and these street segments would therefore be eligible for enforcement by use of radar.
BACKGROUND
Speed limits in California are governed by the California Vehicle Code (CVC), including § 627, 22348 through 22413 and 40802. In conformance with these state laws, vehicle speed laws can only be enforced using radar when speed limits are determined by an engineering and traffic survey that verifies the 85th percentile speeds (the speed below which 85% of drivers operate in free flow conditions).
On September 8, 2025 City Council considered the E&TSs for 23 Palo Alto streets (Phase 1) that had expired. Based on these surveys, Council adopted an amendment to PAMC Chapter 10.56 at Item 4
Item 4 Staff Report
Item 4: Staff Report
Pg.
1 Packet Pg. 9 of 517
a second hearing on September 29, 2025. As a result, the Police Department is now able to enforce the speed limits using radar on those approved 23 segments.
Based on CVC §40802, posted speed limits of 25 mph have been established on designated local streets in Palo Alto that are less than 40 feet in width.
In 2016, Engineering and Traffic Surveys were conducted for all arterial and collector streets in Palo Alto's Street Network system (a total of 70 street segments, not including the 16 segments that were validated in 2014). The 2016 survey validated the existing speed limit for 56 locations and recommended an increase in existing speed limit for 14 locations.
In 2021 and 2022, Assembly Bill (AB) 43 and AB 1938 were enacted which changed how speed limits are set and enforced in California. The new laws (CVC § 22358.6 and 22358.7) authorize local authorities to round down the recommended speed to the lower 5 mph increment, when it would otherwise be rounded up, and then lower the recommended speed by an additional 5 mph under certain conditions including if the corridor is a designated safety corridor.
Both the 2024 and 2025 E&TS efforts (Phase 1 and Phase 2 respectively) include consideration of AB 43 and AB 1938 which give cities more flexibility to lower speed limits on certain roads, particularly in business districts and areas with high pedestrian or bicycle traffic. AB 43 also allows for speed reduction on the basis of roadway designation as a “safety corridor.” On June 2, 2025, Council adopted the Palo Alto Safety Action Plan, which identified the City’s high injury network. This network also serves as the City’s “safety corridors” as defined in the CA- MUTCD. Among other corridors, the designated corridors include segments of Alma Street, Charleston Road, Embarcadero Road, Middlefield Road, San Antonio Road, and Quarry Road.
ANALYSIS
Engineering and Traffic Surveys were completed in 2025 by the consulting firm TJKM for the nine roadway segments listed in Table 1. These surveys were performed in accordance with the requirements of the CVC and the most current version of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD).
In order to collect sample speeds on selected street segments, a radar gun was used on days with fair weather, clear visibility, and dry pavement conditions. The radar speed survey data was compiled and analyzed to determine the 50th percentile speed, the 85th percentile speed, the average speed, the speed range, the 10-mph pace speed, and the percent of vehicles observed within the 10-mph pace. Average daily traffic (ADT) counts for all study segments were also collected using tube counts along the segments.

Item 4 Staff Report
Item 4: Staff Report
Pg.
2 Packet Pg. 10 of 517
The counts were used to determine the collision rates for each segment, which in turn was used as a factor in determining the appropriate speed limit for each segment. Other information that factored into the determination of recommended speed included designation as a safety corridor as well as location within a business district or residence district as defined in the CVC.
After initial calculation of a recommended speed limit, a final field check was conducted by driving each study segment to confirm that the recommended speed of traffic was reasonable based on engineering judgment and the 85th percentile speed.
Based on the results of the survey, posted speed limits on nine street segments would be justified by the engineering and speed survey, and are therefore eligible for enforcement by use of radar. 23 street segments from Phase 1 and nine street segments from Phase 2 are highlighted in the attached map.

Next Steps
Pending Council adoption of the attached ordinance, City staff will provide messaging to community members on enforcement; and add the above corridors to traffic enforcement patrols.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
The consultant fee for completing the engineering and traffic survey data collection, analysis and recommendation was $24,260 and was funded in FY 2024 and FY 2025 Adopted Budgets in the Transportation and Parking Improvements Capital Project (PL-12000). No additional funds are needed to adopt the ordinance.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
The process for establishing speed limits is defined under the CVC and CA-MUTCD.
Additionally, recent community engagement activities indicate strong support for this action.
Extensive stakeholder engagement was conducted as part of the Safety Action Plan, which identified a proactive Speed Management Program as a key step to creating a culture and climate of systemic safety. This action is one element of such an approach.
City staff will conduct additional community outreach to inform members of public that enforcement will be undertaken along these corridors.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Approval of this ordinance would not result in any new impacts to the existing environment. This project is considered as a minor alteration to the existing street system, and therefore categorically exempt (Class 1 Exemption, Section 15301) from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

1 ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY | CITY OF PALO ALTO
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this survey is to evaluate the speed limits for nine segments within the City of Palo Alto and recommend speed limit changes, if any, in accordance with the Assembly Bill 43 and State of California regulations and guidelines.
The California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 627 authorizes the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and local authorities to conduct engineering and traffic surveys. These surveys are used to determine safe and appropriate speed limits on roads, considering factors such as traffic speed, roadway conditions, collision history, and traffic volume. The surveys must follow established methods to ensure that the speed limits are set based on actual driving behavior and safety considerations.
CVC Section 40802 requires that Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) for speed limits should be conducted at least once every seven or 14 years based on established criteria. State and local agencies re -evaluate non-statutory speed limits on their street segments that have undergone a significant change in roadway characteristics or surrounding land uses since the speed limits were last reviewed.
The California State Legislature sets in place the regulations for California speed limits and the California Vehicle Code (CVC) places these regulations into language used primarily for enforcement purposes.
Various jurisdictions have responsibility for roadways throughout California, including the responsibility to set speed limits on these roadways according to the standards and procedures established by Caltrans. The guidelines from the California Manual for Setting Speed Limits published by Caltrans (Rev. March, 2025) are used in this study. These guidelines help in establishing speed limits that are uniform throughout the state and avoid influence from political pressure or emotional perceptions.
Speed limits are established primarily for protecting the public and property from reckless and unsafe driving behavior. Speed limits are generally established at or near the 85th percentile speed. The 85th percentile speed, also referred to as the critical speed, is defined as the speed at or below which 85 percent of vehicles are moving in free flow conditions. Speed limits established on this basis conform to the consensus of those who drive on the roadways as to what speed is reasonable and safe under normal driving conditions. Figure 1 illustrates the various speed limit signs for different zones and roadways.

Many factors influence drivers and their perception of the safe speed at which to operate a vehicle. These factors should be considered collectively because it is not practical to consider each individually. The design and physical characteristics of the roadway place limitations on the safe operating speed of vehicles. These characteristics include, but are not limited to:
• Roadway geometrics, shoulder condition, grade, curvature, alignment, and sight distance • Roadside developments, zoning, and environment
• Parking practices
• Bicycle and pedestrian activity
• Driveway density
• Signalized or stop-controlled intersections; and
• Rural, residential or developed areas.
This report presents the resul ts of the E&TS conducted in April 2025 and March 2025 for nine street segments throughout the City of Palo Alto, and incorporates input from radar speed surveys, average daily traffic counts, segment collision analyses, and analyses of roadway characteristics. The nine survey segments included in the study are listed in Table 1; illustrated in Figure 2; and categorized below by roadway types according to the Palo Alto City’s General Plan:
• 7 segments are designated as ‘Major Arterials’
• 2 segments are designated as ‘Collectors’
The existing speed limits for the survey segments are illustrated in Figure 3 and summarized in Table 1.

1.1 Relevant California Vehicle Code Sections
Applicable California Vehicle Code (CVC) Code sections for conducting an E&TS are summarized below:
CVC SECTION 235 – BUSINESS DISTRICT: A “business district” is that portion of a highway and the property contiguous thereto (a) upon one side of which highway, for a distance of 600 feet, 50 percent or more of the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by buildings in use for business, or (b) upon both sides of which highway, collectively, for a distance of 300 feet, 50 percent or more of the contiguous property fronting thereon is so occupied. A business district may be longer than the distances specified in this section if the above ratio of buildings in use for business to the length of the highway exists.
CVC SECTION 515 – RESIDENCE DISTRICT: A “residence district” is that portion of a highway and the property contiguous thereto, other than a business district, (a) upon one side of which highway, within a distance of a quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 13 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures, or (b) upon both sides of which highway, collectively, within a distance of a quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 16 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures. A residence district may be longer than one-quarter of a mile if the above ratio of separate dwelling houses or business structures to the length of the highway exists.
Embarcadero Road between Highway 101 and Middlefield Road has more than 16 houses collectively on both the sides of the segment within quarter mile, which qualifies it as a residence district.
CVC SECTION 627 – ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY: A survey of highway and traffic conditions in accordance with methods determined by Caltrans for use by state and local authorities, which shall include consideration of prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements, collision records, and highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver. Local authorities may also consider residential district density (as defined in Section 515) and pedestrian and bicyclist safety.
CVC SECTION 22349 – MAXIMUM SPEED LIMITS: Provides that no person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than 65 mph. An exception to this, as stated in CVC Section 22356, is that Caltrans may increase speed and these increases can only be made after consultation with the California Highway Patrol ( CHP) based on an engineering and traffic survey. Even if the maximum speed is raised, certain vehicles are still not permitted to be driven over 55 mph. These are listed below:
• Motor trucks have three or more axles or any truck towing another vehicle • Passenger vehicles towing other vehicles
• School buses transporting school pupils
• Farm labor vehicles transporting passengers
• Vehicles transporting explosives
CVC SECTION 22350 – BASIC SPEED LAW: Provides that no person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property. In other words, a driver violates the basic speed law if he or she is driving at unsafe speeds, even if that speed is lower than the posted regulatory speed limit sign.

CVC SECTION 22351 – SPEED LAW VIOLATIONS: States that the speed of any vehicle upon a highway not more than the limits specified in CVC Section 22352 or established as authorized in the CVC is lawful unless clearly proved to be in violation of the Basic Speed Law. This same section also states that the speed of any vehicle upon a highway in excess of the prima facie speed limits in CVC Section 22352 or established as authorized in the CVC is unlawful unless the defendant establishes by competent evidence that the speed in excess of said limits did not constitute a violation of the Basic Speed Law at the time, place and under the conditions then existing.
CVC SECTION 22352 – PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMITS: Establishes prima facie speed limits for local roads and streets. The term “prima facie”, as used in the CVC, is a speed limit that applies when no other specific speed limit is posted. It is a Latin term meaning “at first face” or “at first appearance”. It is also defined a s “first view” and “before investigation”. Prima facie evidence is evidence sufficient to establish fact, or to raise presumption of fact, unless rebutted. These speed limits shall be applica ble unless changed as authorized in the CVC and, if so changed, only when signs have been erected giving notice thereof. It sets two speed limits covering six classes of location.
A speed limit of 15 mph applies at railroad crossings, at uncontrolled highway intersections with obstructed views, and on alleys. A speed limit of 25 mph applies on any highway in any business or residence district, unless a different limit is established by procedures described in the CVC by local authority or Department of Transportation. The 25-mph limit also applies in school zones or passing a senior center with standard erected warning sign for both . Embarcadero Road between Highway 101 and Middlefie ld Road, which is classified as a residence district, a 25-mph speed limit is enforceable.
CVC SECTION 22357 (INCREASE OF LOCAL SPEED LIMITS TO 65 MPH) AND CVC SECTION 22358 (DECREASE OF LOCAL SPEED LIMITS): Under California Vehicle Code §22357, a city or county may increase a local street’s prima facie 25 mph speed limit to 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, or 60 mph, or set a maximum of up to 65 mph, if an engineering and traffic survey demonstrates that a higher speed is safe and will facilitate traffic movement. Any such change only becomes effective once proper signs are posted, and future adjustments must also be supported by a new engineering and traffic survey. However, this section does not apply to special 25 mph zones near schools or senior centers, which are regulated under separate provisions.
CVC SECTION 22358.3 (DECREASE ON NARROW STREETS) AND CVC SECTION 22358.4 (DECREASE OF LOCAL LIMITS NEAR SCHOOLS OR SENIOR CENTERS): California Vehicle Code §22358.3 allows a city or county, through ordinance or resolution, to set a speed limit of 20 or 15 mph on residential or business streets, excluding state highways when the road is notably narrow (a roadway width not exceeding 25 feet).
This adjustment may be made based solely on the street’s residential character and its dimensions, without a requirement for an engineering and traffic survey.
Meanwhile, §22358.4 gives local authorities the power to lower the standard 25 mph prima facie speed limit as established by §22352(b), to 20 or 15 mph, if an engineering and traffic survey indicates the higher speed is neither reasonable nor safe. Any such change must be supported by appropriate signage and, in the case of state highways, must also be approved by the Department of Transportation. Additionally, §22358.4 Item 4

Survey
Item 4: Staff Report

8 ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY | CITY OF PALO ALTO
permits special 15 mph or 25 mph speed limits near schools during school hours or noon recess within 500 feet (for 15 mph) or 500 –1,000 feet (for 25 mph) of school buildings or grounds and under specific traffic conditions, even if a broader survey isn’t conducted.
CVC SECTION 22358.5 – DOWNWARD SPEED ZONING: Physical conditions such as width, curvature, grade, and surface conditions, or any other condition readily apparent to a driver, in the absence of other factors, would not require special downward speed zoning.
CVC SECTION 22358.6 – ROUNDING OF SPEED LIMITS: Authorizes local agencies to round speed limits to the nearest five miles per hour of the 85th percentile speed of the free-flowing traffic. In cases where the 85th percentile speed results in rounding up to the nearest five-mile per hour increment, the local authority may round the speed limit down to the lower five -mile per hour increment. Local authorities may additionally lower the speed limit as provided by CVC Section 22358.7, but not by more than 12.4 m ph below the 85th percentile speed. Furthermore, they may retain or reinstate a previously adopted speed limit under Section 22358.8 without further reduction, even if other provisions would normally require a change.
CVC SECTION 22358.7 – 5 MPH SPEED LIMIT REDUCTION: Authorizes local agencies to reduce the speed limit by an additional 5 mph if the portion of highway has been designated as a “safety corridor,” as defined in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD ; Table 2), or if the portion of highway is adjacent to any land use or facility that generates high concentrations of bicyclists or pedestrians (Table 3), especially those from vulnerable groups such as children, senior, persons with disabilities, and the unhoused.
Table 2: Safety Corridor Definition Requirements
Category Factors
Crash Weighting Factors to Develop One
Serious/Fatal Injury Safety Corridor
Crash weighting can be developed using fatal and serious injury crash data and other factors to prioritize safety corridors. Suggested weighting factors are as follows:
• Crash Severity: Fatal Crashes, Serious Injury Crashes • Mode: Pedestrian-bicycle-related crashes, vehicle/other • Disadvantaged Community Status: MPO/RTPA or locally
defined disadvantaged community status based on most
current version of CalEnviroScreen
• Vulnerable Populations: Seniors (age 65 and older) and Youth (under age 15) based on the American Community
Survey
• School proximity (within 0.25 miles) based on the California School Campus Database
Crash Density
Each roadway segment block can be converted into ~ 0.25 mile overlapping "corridor" segments to create a consistent unit of measurement and assess the concentration of linear patterns of injuries within a defined distance. The highest scoring (i.e. most fatal and serious injury crashes per mile) "corridor" segments within a street needs to be identified and an appropriate threshold set to determine safety corridor eligibility.
Maintenance
The jurisdiction can establish a review and re-evaluation frequency for safety corridors. However, such frequency need not exceed seven years.

CVC SECTION 40802 (A)(2) – PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMITS: Provides that prima facie speed limits established under CVC Sections 22352(b)(1), 22354, 22357, 22358, and 22358.3 may not be enforced by radar unless the speed limit has been justified by an engineering and traffic survey within the last five years.
This CVC section does not apply to a local street, road or school zone.
CVC SECTION 40802 (B) – PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMITS: For purposes of this section, a local street or road is one that is functionally classified as "local" on the "California Road System Maps," that are approved by the Federal Highway Administration and maintained by Caltrans. When a street or road does not appear on the "California Road System Maps," it may be defined as a "local street or road" if it primarily provides access to abutting residential property and meets the following three conditions:
• Roadway width of not more than 40 feet.
• Not more than one -half mile of uninterrupted length. Interruptions shall include official traffic control signals as defined in CVC Section 445; and
• Not more than one traffic lane in each direction.
2.0 DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
The data collection procedure and speed survey analysis methodology are briefly discussed below.
2.1 Radar Speed Surveys and Analysis
The speed surveys involve the use of radar guns to collect sample speeds on selected street segments. A key aspect for conducting the surveys is to ensure that street segments with unique characteristics are individually surveyed. The most crucial component of a speed zone survey is the selection of locations for the data collection task. The prevailing speed at the data collection point was selected to be representative of the entire speed zone area.
Radar speed surveys were conducted for nine segments in April 2025 and May 2025 on days with fair weather, clear visibility , and dry pavement conditions. The survey locations were selected where the prevailing speeds were representative of the entire street segment and were not too close to any traffic control devices. The selected locations were situated beyond the influence of stops, dips, curves, parked vehicles, and any other condition that may affect the normal rate of travel. An effort was made to ens ure that the presence of radar survey equipment did not affect the speed of the traffic being surveyed.
The radar speed surveys were conducted for all study segments, using calibrated radar equipment by certified technicians. Most sample sizes for a particular segment included around 100 vehicles.
A Speed Survey Form was used to collect and summarize the following attributes:
• Street surveyed
• Precise location
• Street direction
• Date/day of the survey
• Start time & end time of survey
• Number of vehicles surveyed

• 85th percentile speed, 50th percentile speed, 10-mile pace • Percent and number of vehicles observed within the 10-mph pace • Percent and number of vehicles observed below pace
• Percent and number of vehicles observed above pace
• Range of speeds observed and standard deviation
A description of some of the attributes is provided below:
50TH PERCENTILE SPEED (MEDIAN SPEED): The speed above and below which 50 percent of the sample speeds were observed. This value indicates the speed that a driver may choose to drive without the influence of any speed limits, speed signs, or enforcement.
85TH PERCENTILE SPEED (CRITICAL SPEED): The speed at or below 85 percent of the sample speeds were observed. The 85th percentile speed of a spot speed survey is the primary indicator of the appropriate speed limit for a section of the roadway.
10 MPH PACE SPEED: The 10-mph increment (range) of speeds containing the greatest number of vehicles.
In most cases, the 85th percentile speed and the recommended speed lie within the range, frequently in the middle to upper range of the interval. The percentage of vehicles that fall within the pace speed is an indicator of the bunching of vehicular speeds. The number of observed vehicles within the 10-mph pace is often between 40 and 80 percent of the entire sample.
AVERAGE SPEED: The average speed is simply the cumulative speed divided by the number of observed vehicles.
SPEED RANGE: The range of speed is simply the difference in speeds of the fastest and slowest vehicles observed. A wide range of speeds (more than 30 mph, for example) indicates less favorable conditions than a narrow range. The greater the range, the more inconsistency in travel speeds with a greater likelihood of traffic collisions. In general, uniform speeds result in a smooth progression of traffic.
The radar speed survey data was compiled and analyzed to determ ine the 50th percentile speed, the 85th percentile speed, the average speed, the speed range, the 10-mph pace speed, and the percentage of vehicles observed within the 10-mph pace.
Table 5 presents the speed survey summary with existing speed limits, median speed, critical speed, 10 - mile pace speed, and the percentage of vehicles observed within pace. S peeds were collected for 100 vehicles for each of the nine segments. The completed speed survey forms for all nine study segments are included in Appendix A.

2.2 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) Volumes
The TJKM team collected average daily traffic (ADT) counts for all nine study segments by conducting tube counts along the segments. The tube count was scheduled on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 , for all the study segments, but the two segment s – Coyote Hill Road between Page Mill Road and Hillview Avenue was collected on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, and Middlefield Road between E Charleston Road and San Antonio Road was collected on Thursday, May 29, 2025. These counts were also used to determine the collision rates for each segment, which in turn was used as a factor in determining the appropriate speed limit for each segment. Table 6 summarizes the roadway classification and ADT volumes for each of the nine study segments. The existing ADT volumes for the survey segments are illustrated in Figure 4. The ADT counts are available in Appendix A.

2.3 Traffic Collision Data
Collisions reported at study segments were obtained from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) database for a period of five years from January 2020 to December 2024. Collision rates are a significant factor in determining the appropriate speed limits.
Figure 4 summarizes the type and the total number of collisions for all study segments. Table 8 and Figure 5 summarize the collision rates (per million vehicle miles travelled ) for the study segments in comparison with the statewide averages. Additional collision data is available in Appendix B of this report.
Definitions for Collision Types: The types of collisions and their definitions are defined by CHP and are listed below:
Head-On: Two motor vehicles, approaching from opposite directions, make direct contact. For example, the front of one vehicle collides with the front of another, or prior to impact, one vehicle skids sideways, causing the side of the skidding vehicle to collide with the front of the other.
Sideswipe: One motor vehicle strikes the side of another with a glancing blow. For example, two vehicles are proceeding in the same direction or from opposite directions, and the side of one vehicle strikes the side of the other.
Rear End: Two motor vehicles, traveling in the same direction, make direct contact. For example, the front of one vehicle strikes the rear of another vehicle, or Vehicle #1 approaches Vehicle #2 from the rear and skids sideways during a braking action, causing the side of Vehicle #1 to strike the rear of Vehicle #2.
Broadside: One motor vehicle strikes another vehicle at an angle greater than that of a sideswipe.
Hit Object: A motor vehicle strikes a fixed object or other object.
Overturned: A motor vehicle overturns and no prior collision or hitting an object caused the overturning.
This would include a motorcyclist losing control, causing the vehicle to lie down on its side.
Auto/Ped: A vehicle strikes a pedestrian.
Other: A collision not covered in the preceding elements. This entry shall be explained in the narrative, such as a vehicle involved with - a bicycle, train, or animal; an automobile fire; passengers falling or jumping from a vehicle; a vehicle backing; a bicycle involved with a pedestrian or another bicycle, etc.

3.0 SPEED LIMIT RECOMMENDATIONS
The setting of speed limits requires a rational and defensible procedure to maintain the confidence of the public and legal systems. Speed limit determinations rely on the premise that a reasonable speed limit is one that conforms to the actual behavior of most drivers; one will be able to select a speed limit that is both reasonable and effective by measuring drivers' speeds.
The 2014 Edition of the CA MUTCD requires as a standard that a speed limit shall be established at the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed, except that the posted speed may be reduced by 5 mph from the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th p ercentile speed in compliance with CVC Sections 627 and CVC 22358. 6.
According to CVC 22358.6, for cases in which the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed would require rounding up, the speed limit may be rounded down to the nearest 5 mph i ncrement below the 85th percentile speed if no further reduction is used. The following examples are provided to explain the application of these speed limit criteria:
• If the 85th percentile speed in a speed survey for a location was 37 mph, then the speed limit would be established at 35 mph since it is the closest 5 mph increment to the 37- mph speed. The 35-mph established speed limit can be reduced by an additional 5 mph to 30 mph if the conditions and justification for using this lower speed limit are documented in the E&TS and approved by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer; and
• If the 85th percentile speed in a speed survey for a location was 33 mph, then the speed limit would be established at 35 mph since it is the closest 5 mph increment to the 33- mph speed. The 35-mph established speed limit can be reduced by 5 mph to 30 mph if the conditions and justification for using this lower speed limit are documented in the E&TS and are approved by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer.
Section 2B.13 of the 2014 CA MUTCD further states that justification for reducing speed limits can be based on residential density, pedestrian/bicyclist safety and other factors not readily apparent to drivers but essential to meet the traffic safety needs of the community. The following factors may be considered to adjust and determine the final speed limits:
• Road characteristics, shoulder condition, grade, alignment, and sight distance • 10 mph speed (a 10-mile range in which the highest number of data is recorded) • Roadside development and environment
• Parking practices and bicycle/pedestrian activity
• Reported crash experience for at least a 12-month period On October 8, 2021, the procedure for establishing local speed limits was changed once again with Assembly Bill No. 43 (AB 43) being signed into law (and later clarified by Assembly Bill 1938 in 2022). Whereas the previous procedure required no further action be taken after rounding down to the nearest 5 mph increment below the 85th percentile speed, AB 43 allows a local authority to use an additional 5 mph reduction if a portion of highway has been designated as a “safety corridor” as is defined by Caltrans in the CA MUTCD or if a portion of highway is adjacent to any land or facility that generates high concentrations of bicyclists or pedestrians, particularly those Item 4

from vulnerable groups such as children, seniors, persons with disabilities, and the unhoused. The procedure is shown in Figure 6.
On June 2, 2025, City Council adopted the Palo Alto Safety Action Plan, which identified the City’s high injury network. This network also serves as the City’s “safety corridors” as defined in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA -MUTCD). This new document has been included in the analysis in addition to the Assembly Bill 43 and State of California regulations and guidelines.
The existing speed limit may also be retained if it was established in the previous E&TS and if a registered traffic engineer has determined that no additional general -purpose lanes have been added to the portion of highway since completion of the previous E&TS.

The guidelines from the California Manual for Setting Speed Limits published by Caltrans (Rev. March 2025) were also followed in this study. The speed limit recommendations are proposed for nine street segments in the study based on the above discussed guidelines and speed data analysis. The speed limit for each study segment was 30 35

recommended after determining the average speed, the 85th percentile speed, the pace speed, and considering other significant factors such as existing land use, roadway design characteristics and collision rates. Appendix A presents the recommended speed limit certifications of the traffic survey analyses, which include prevailing speed data, collision history, traffic factors, and roadway conditions. The recommended speed limit for each street segment is also shown with a comment on the rationale for the recommendation.
In accordance with Section 40802(a)(2), speed limits on nine study segments are enforceable by radar or other electronic devices, as they have been verified through radar spot speed surveys.
Figure 7 illustrates the recommended speed limits at the respective study segments. Table 9 tabulates the recommended speed limits. Based on this study, a revision to the currently posted speed limit is not recommended at any of the of the nine segments.

TITLE
Approval of a Budget Amendment in the General Fund for the Planning and Development Services Department’s Deposit-Based Fee Program for Private Development Studies for a Net Zero Impact. CEQA Status: Not a Project
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council amend the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Appropriation Ordinance (Requires 2/3 Vote) for the General Fund by:
1. Increasing Permits and Licenses revenue estimate in the Planning and Development Services Department by $350,000; and
2. Increasing Contract Services expense appropriation in the Planning and Development Services Department by $350,000.
BACKGROUND
The Planning and Development Services Department provides a service for private development projects using full cost recovery deposit-based contracts. The department utilizes the expertise of outside consultants to augment and expedite entitlement studies such as historic, environmental, and zoning compliance. Due to the highly specialized nature of these studies, City employees lack in-house expertise. Applicants pay upfront for contract services related to their project, and funding is held in a deposit account until services are performed.
The number of projects that use this program fluctuates annually, and associated revenue and expense are realized in the Planning and Development Services operating budget when incurred, which sometimes, necessitates a net-zero budget action to ensure continuity of service. No general fund monies are utilized for this program, and all expenditures are supported by offsetting revenue.
This action is required for the department to meet its contractual obligations and continue paying for cost-recovery services.

ANALYSIS
The planning review application form1 outlines the City’s deposit-based policies and procedures. This program provides the City with additional resources to meet the development needs of the community by utilizing outside consultant services related to historic, environmental, and compliance review studies for private development projects. Applicants submit funds to cover anticipated program costs, including a charge for the City’s administration of the program. Firms conducting these studies are selected based on their experience and expertise in the respective areas of study. Historically, the City has received approximately 50 to 75 projects annually, ranging in complexity from single-family dwellings to mixed-use projects.
Private development services related contracts are exempted from competitive solicitation per Municipal Code Section 2.30.3602 as they are funded wholly by private developers. Therefore, these deposit contracts do not come before the City Council. Staff conducts an informal solicitation to select the firms that are best qualified based on a variety of factors. The results of the consultant’s work are generally presented to Commissions or City Council through staff reports, such as environmental reports or specific studies.
This net-zero action is needed now as there was a technical system error during the Fiscal Year 2026 budget adoption process where the anticipated activity level for deposit-based contracts was not reflective of recent trends. This resulted in a lower annual allocation of both revenues and expenses for this work in FY 2026 that needs to be remedied. As of September 30, 2025, 84% of the approved budget of $207,000 has already been utilized. If additional revenue and corresponding expense increases are not approved, the City will not be able to meet its contractual obligations and the deposit-based recovery program will be suspended until additional budget appropriation is approved.
FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT
Staff is requesting City Council approval of a net zero budget amendment in the General Fund to increase both revenue and expenses by $350,000. Funds to cover all costs are received from applicants utilizing the program, resulting in no net impact to the General Fund. If lower levels of revenue are realized, the expenses would also be at correspondingly lower levels, resulting in no net impact to the General Fund. This amendment requires a 2/3 approval vote by the City Council.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Given that this is an internal budgeting action, stakeholder involvement has primarily been limited to the Planning and Development Services and Administrative Services departments.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Council action on this item is not a project as defined by CEQA because this budget amendment is a government funding mechanism or fiscal activity which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4).

Report #:2507-4975
TITLE
PUBLIC HEARING / QUASI-JUDICIAL. 660 University Ave [21PLN-00341]: Request for Approval of a Planned Home Zoning (PHZ) on Three Parcels (511 Byron Street, 660 University Avenue, 680 University Avenue/500 Middlefield Road), to Demolish Existing Buildings and Provide a New Six Story Mixed-Use Building with Approximately 1,900 Square Feet of Office, 70 Multi-Family Residential Units, and a Two Level Below-Grade Parking Garage. CEQA Status: A Draft Environmental Impact Report Circulated for Public Review Beginning on April 2, 2024, and Ending on May 17, 2024. The City published a Final EIR in March 2025 and a revised Final EIR in October 2025. Zoning District: RM-20 (Multi-Family Residential).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1. Adopt the Resolution in Attachment B certifying the EIR and Adopting the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP);
2. Adopt the Resolution in Attachment C amending the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element to modify the allowable uses in the Multiple Family Land Use Designation;
3. Adopt the Planned Community (PC) Ordinance in Attachment D rezoning the subject property and approving the development plan, uses, and public benefits; and
4. Approve the Record of Land Use Action in Attachment E with approval findings and conditions of approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The applicant proposes to deconstruct two existing medical office buildings (9,216 square feet) at 511 Byron Street and 680 University and rezone three existing parcels (511 Byron Street, 660 University Avenue, and 680 University Avenue/500 Middlefield Road) from RM-20 to Planned Home Zoning (PHZ) in accordance with Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) Chapter 18.38 (Planning Community Zoning). The parcels would be merged under a separate application, and the resulting parcel would be redeveloped with a new six-story mixed-use building with 1,984 square feet of ground floor office and 66,754 square feet of multiple-family residential use. The residential component, as recommended by the Planning and Transportation Commission Item 6

(PTC), will include 66 units (19 studios, 39 one-bedroom, and eight two-bedroom units). One unit will be designated as a manager’s unit. Thirteen of the units would be provided as below market rate (BMR) units (20%), though Staff recommends a slightly modified distribution of the BMR units. Parking spaces will be provided in a two-story below-grade parking garage with 78 parking spaces. The project also includes a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to allow office use in the Multiple-Family Land Use Designation in limited circumstances as detailed further in this report.
The City and the public have reviewed multiple versions of the proposed project in various hearings, as described in the Background section below. The Architectural Review Board (ARB) and PTC reviewed the current proposed design on August 21, 2025, and October 8, 2025, respectively. Both hearing bodies recommended approval of the revised project with conditions and recommended revisions.
The proposed project serves as an alternative to a Builder’s Remedy application that includes 88 units and 9,215 square feet of office, for which a Senate Bill (SB) 330 pre-application was filed on May 14, 2024, and for which the applicant submitted a formal application on September 3, 2024. The Builder’s Remedy application has been paused in accordance with a tolling agreement between the Applicant and the City.
The City, acting as the lead agency, circulated a Draft Environmental Impact Report for this project for a 45-day review period beginning on April 2, 2024, and ending on May 17, 2024. The Draft EIR found there are no significant and unavoidable environmental impacts. A Final EIR was published in March 2025, which included a response to comments. To reflect the recent modifications to the project, the City published a Revised Final EIR on October 1, 2025. The Revised Final EIR concludes that the project, with the proposed modifications, would have no significant and unavoidable impacts.
BACKGROUND
The project has been reviewed extensively, and the applicant has proposed substantive revisions that required additional analysis several times. Including the prescreening, this meeting is the tenth public hearing for this project.
Prior City Reviews & Action
The following summarizes the project review timeline to date:
October 25, 2021 1: City Council prescreened a conceptual four-story mixed-use project (65 units; ~9,000 sf office).

5. Consideration of bird friendly glass on 6 th floor and balconies.
6. Clarification from PWE on the FEMA requirements.
After this hearing, the applicant made major design changes that necessitated returning the project to the ARB. This included reducing the office space from 9,115 square feet to 1,984 square feet and moving the office use to the ground floor while adding residential units (increased to 70 total units) to the sixth floor. This also reconfigured the useable outdoor space, and increased the protrusion into the daylight plane, though the overall height decreased approximately two feet.
ARB Recommendation
On August 21, 2025, following the voluntary redesign, the ARB held a hearing13 and voted 3-2 (Jojarth and Hirsch no) to recommend approval of the project to Council with one additional recommendation for a condition of approval to, “Remove the balconies within the H2 units on the 2nd-6th floor (5 units) facing the Oak tree, or stepping the units back to reduce the encroachment into the TPZ if balconies are provided within the 30-foot radius of the tree.” In speaking to their dissent, both Jojarth and Hirsch explained that although they both would like to see the project move forward conceptually, they feel that additional architectural changes are warranted.
PTC Recommendation
On October 8, 2025, following preparation of a revised Final EIR, the PTC reviewed a 70-unit, 1,984 square foot office plan. The applicant presented an additional option for the PTC’s consideration to address the ARB comments through their presentation, which returned the unit count to 66-units, but removed the balconies located within the area of the tree canopy.
The PTC voted 5-1-1 (Hechtman dissenting, James absent) to recommend approval of the project to Council with the following changes:
Address the ARB recommendation through the 66-unit option presented or otherwise remove the balconies encroaching into the TPZ as recommended by the ARB Add the following five conditions of approval to the Record of Land Use Action:
oEstablish an easement on the Middlefield side for dimensions of the Special Setback to a depth of 20 feet below grade. If the City chooses to use this area, the applicant will not be responsible for replacing the parking. 13 August 21, 2025 ARB Report: https://cityofpaloalto.primegov.com/Portal/Meeting?meetingTemplateId=16792 Item 6

oBeginning two years after building occupancy, report to OOT the number of parking spaces being leased.
oAs part of the TDM plan, the OOT will develop a method to assess spillover parking created by the project and will impose incentives or penalties when spillover is excessive.
oRemove paving around the deck after construction, to the satisfaction of the Urban Forester.
1. Add Bird Safe Glass for the two units at the corners, Unit E and F2, on the sixth floor.
Designate that the approximately 1,900 square feet commercial space be for neighborhood serving use
The analysis section of the staff report goes into further detail on how these recommendations have been incorporated. The PTC also identified in their discussion some typos and clarifications in the attachments, which have been addressed.
The dissenting commissioner cited opposition to reducing the unit count and requested a separate vote on the condition regulating on-site versus off-site parking pricing. While supportive of collecting parking utilization data, the commissioner viewed reducing the on-site parking cost from $150/month to the RPP rate of $56/year as financially infeasible for the applicant. The commissioner nevertheless supported forwarding the project to Council and expressed a desire for eventual approval.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project, as currently proposed, includes deconstruction of the existing medical office buildings (9,216 square feet of medical office use) and rezoning of three existing parcels (511 Byron St, 660 University Ave, and 680 University Ave/500 Middlefield Rd) from RM-20 to Planned Community (also referred to as “Planned Home Zone” (PHZ). The parcels would be merged under a separate subdivision map process, and the resulting parcel would be redeveloped with a new six-story mixed-use building with 66 residential rental units and 1,984 square feet of office on the ground floor. The project would have two levels of below grade parking with 78 parking spaces. Because office use is not an allowed use within the multi-family land use designation, the project proposed a narrow Comprehensive Plan Amendment to allow commercial use in the Multiple-Family Land Use Designation on Planned Community parcels that propose a housing development project.
A location map is included in Attachment A and the project plans are included in Attachment I.
Requested Entitlements, Findings, and Purview:
The following discretionary applications are being requested and subject to Council purview:

5 Packet Pg. 83 of 517
Planned Community (PC/PHZ): The process for evaluating this type of application is set forth in PAMC Chapter 18.38. The Planned Community Zone District is intended to accommodate all types of developments, including combinations of uses appropriately requiring flexibility under controlled conditions not otherwise attainable under other districts. The planned community district is particularly intended for unified, comprehensively planned developments that are of substantial public benefit and which conform with and enhance the policies and programs of the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan. The application requires initial review by the PTC, followed by review by the ARB.
Upon recommendation from the ARB, the draft ordinance for the project is presented along with the development plan to the PTC for recommendation to the City Council for final action.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment: The steps for processing a request for a Comprehensive Plan amendment are set forth in PAMC Chapter 19.04. The PTC considers the amendment and forwards its recommendation to the City Council for final action. This is done in parallel with the application to rezone the subject property.
ANALYSIS
Staff’s review of the project finds it to be in compliance with applicable municipal code requirements or, through the requested entitlements, compliant if deviating from certain requirements.
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the project site is Multiple-Family Residential, which prescribes a density range of eight to 40 dwelling units per acre, with higher densities allowed where measurable community benefits will be derived, and services and facilities are available. The project has a density of 132 dwelling units per acre, and the Downtown location is sufficient to support this density. Further analysis is provided in the Findings (Attachments D and E). However, in order to retain some of the existing office square footage, this mixed-use project also includes a ground floor office use where office is not permitted within this land use designation. The project is requesting a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment to modify the allowable uses in the Multiple Family Land Use Designation in limited circumstances.
In its previous review the PTC requested additional information on how the Comprehensive Plan amendment could affect other properties within this land use designation. As written, the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is narrow as it would allow office uses only on sites that are zoned Planned Community, proposing a housing development project, and with an existing nonconforming office use. Any future proposals would be considered based on the individual context and appropriateness of commercial in each specific location, with fully discretionary review by both PTC and Council.
Item 6
Item 6 Staff Report
Item 6: Staff Report

The proposed language is shown in underline below:
Multiple-Family Residential: The permitted number of housing units will vary by area, depending on existing land use, proximity to major streets and public transit, distance to shopping and environmental problems. Net densities will range from 8 to 40 units and 8 to 90 persons per acre. Density should be on the lower end of the scale next to single- family residential areas. Densities higher than what is permitted may be allowed where measurable community benefits will be derived, services and facilities are available, and the net effect will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Population densities will range up to 2.25 persons per unit by 2030.
As part of a Planned Community zone, or in accordance with retail preservation requirements, existing commercial square footage may be maintained or rebuilt, as part of a housing development project.
There are approximately 1,730 property addresses within the Multiple Family Comprehensive Plan designation, and the vast majority do not contain non-residential use(s). Approximately 35 properties have been identified as having a non-conforming non-residential use. The majority of these properties have a medical office use (including dental offices). The majority of these properties are also located around the periphery of Downtown, on Byron Street, Cowper Street, Forest Avenue, Homer Avenue, Middlefield Road, and University Avenue. Some are also located around the California Avenue area on Park Boulevard, Sheridan Avenue, and El Camino Real. A handful of these properties are already PC-zoned. However, existing PCs would require a PC amendment if proposing a new use for the site, which would be a legislative action subject to PTC and ARB review as well as Council approval.
Given the limited number of sites that this could apply to and the public review process required for any PC zone, this modification to the Comprehensive Plan is anticipated to have very limited impact. It would not increase commercial use in the Multiple Family land use designation above what is existing, and would allow for a mixed-use project, providing jobs and/or services in a location that would otherwise be limited to 100% residential. As a PC is required, the project must overall improve the City’s jobs-to-housing ratio.
Zoning Compliance
As a PHZ project, the project proposes to deviate from the RM-20 Zoning Development Standards and Parking Standards though the Planned Community rezoning process set forth in Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) Section 18.38. An analysis of how the project deviates from the current zoning is provided in Attachment F. In summary, the project deviates from the underlying zone district in the following ways:
• Height (71 feet 2 inches where a maximum 30 feet is allowed) • FAR (3.05:1 where a maximum 0.5:1 is allowed)

• Density (126.9 dwelling units per acre where a maximum of 20 dwelling units per acre is allowed)
• Useable Open Space (86.2 square feet per unit where a minimum 150 square feet is required)
• Setbacks encroachments:
oMiddlefield Special Setback – 0 feet below grade where 24 feet is required oByron street side yard – 12 feet above grade, 0 feet below grade where 16 feet is required
oUniversity street side yard – 7 feet above grade, 0 feet below grade where 16 feet is required
oInterior side yard – ramp to garage is 2 feet setback where 10 feet is required • Daylight plane (fourth through sixth floors encroach into the 10 foot, 45-degree angle daylight plane adjacent to RM-20 zoned properties). (See Attachment I, plan set pages A3.3B and A3.3C for section diagrams.)
• Parking (78 parking spaces where 89 are required)
In the RM-20 zoning district, office is a non-conforming use that would not be allowed to be demolished and redeveloped. As a part of the rezoning process, the applicant requests that office be a permitted use of the PC Ordinance, consistent with the development plans. In accordance with the PTC’s motion, additional neighborhood-serving uses have been incorporated into the PC Ordinance (Attachment D) for this project.
Builder’s Remedy Alternative
The proposed project serves as an alternative to a Builder’s Remedy application that includes 88 units and 9,215 square feet of office, for which a Senate Bill (SB) 330 pre-application was last filed on June 11, 2024, and for which the applicant submitted a formal application for on September 3, 2024. The Builder’s Remedy application has been paused in accordance with a tolling agreement between the Applicant and the City, which is valid through the end of the year. A member of the public has pointed out that the formal application on file does not contain enough units to take advantage of the Builder‘s Remedy. However, under the tolling agreement, the applicant retains the ability to amend its formal application to include the necessary number of units (ranging from 89 to 131 units).
Protection of Tree #10
It is a stated priority of the City, neighbors, and the applicant to preserve the Coast Live Oak tree on the adjacent property and overhangs the project site. Several arborist reports were prepared to analyze this tree, and a condition of approval is proposed to require a security deposit for 200% of the appraised value of the tree. This security deposit shall be returned to the applicant upon survival of the tree for five years past the certificate of occupancy being granted for the project.

Item 6 Staff Report

The tree is primarily adjacent to an existing parking lot on the project site, meaning the area around the root zone is paved. The plans show the asphalt below the proposed wooden deck, within the dripline of the Oak tree, would remain to minimize root disturbance.
The applicant and Urban Forestry Manager agree the best thing for the tree is for the proposed wooden deck to be placed on the existing paving to prevent the need for additional excavation within the root zone. During construction, removal of existing paving will be the minimum amount necessary for excavation and construction of the building. The deck will be built on the existing paving. Lastly, any remaining paving beyond the footprint of the deck will be removed to increase permeable soil within the root zone. The PTC motion recommended a condition be added to clarify this, condition #43(f) has been updated to better reflect this.
Recommended Conditions of Approval from the ARB and PTC Certain recommended Conditions of Approval require Council’s determination as they affect various goals and policies set forth for the City.
Future Use of the Special Setback
One of the primary topics of discussion at the prior PTC meetings has been the usability of the portion of the special setback where the below grade parking garage encroaches. The plans now designate a portion of the site as, “area to accommodate possible future city improvements” (approximately 425 square feet). Presently, the City does not have an adopted plan, nor does any ongoing plan anticipate use of the Middlefield special setback. However the PTC and Staff want to maintain usability of the Special Setback to the extent possible. In particular, the Office of Transportation (OOT) expressed interest in maintaining a portion of the setback as viable for a traffic signal pole.
Staff recommends the following condition of approval be added to the Record of Land Use Action based on the PTC’s motion:
“EASEMENT REQUEST. Prior to building permit issuance, the applicant shall dedicate a Public Access Easement over a portion of the 24-foot front yard special setback, including to a depth of 20 feet, for multi-modal transportation improvements in a form acceptable to the Planning and Development Services Director, Public Works Director, and City Attorney. Any future easement may require the removal of site improvements to facilitate multi-modal transportation improvements or Transportation Element Comprehensive Plan policies, except to the extent that the features required for site circulation and egress shall be allowed to remain. The City accepts this may reduce parking from 78 to 72 parking spaces. If future City projects or utility needs require removal or relocation of facilities within this setback, the property owner/developer shall be responsible for all associated costs, including administrative processing and Item 6
Item 6 Staff Report
Item 6: Staff Report
Pg.
9 Packet Pg. 87 of 517
construction fees. The developer shall accept financial responsibility for any such relocation or retrofit required by future City projects.” This expands the area of the easement beyond what is shown in the current plan set. The project proposes required stairs to the garage which are within this area. To move the stairs would require a further loss of parking and may affect the overall circulation. Specifically, the location of the ramp cannot be moved as it is designed around the Tree Protection Zone of a significant Oak tree and was moved from Middlefield Road to Byron Avenue in the initial design review stages to address safety concerns raised by the OOT. Council may consider exempting the stair from the easement area or requiring more significant design changes to the parking garage.
Balconies
The ARB and PTC both recommend removing the balconies from within the Tree Protection Zone, though Urban Forestry staff confirms that the balconies do not affect the anticipated health of the tree.
As a result, the applicant has opted to reduce the proposed number of units from 70 proposed to ARB and PTC to 66 units shown in the current plan set. This allows for a balcony to be provided for each unit. The alternative would have been to maintain a 70 unit design, but not provide private useable outdoor space in six of the units. Both options result in minor reductions to the total availability of useable open space on a per-unit basis.
Onsite Parking, Residential Preferential Parking (RPP), and Transportation Demand Management Plan
The project requests a parking reduction of 8%, which is reduced from 30% in prior iterations of the project. 78 parking spaces are proposed. A transportation demand management (TDM) plan has been prepared (Attachment I). Some of the TDM policies include:
• Transit subsidies are made available to all employees • Carpool/vanpool spaces for the office use
• An information kiosk and webpages for multi-modal transportation options including clipper card discounts for low-income residents
• On site bike repair tools for residents
The TDM plan is designed to reduce the number of trips by 20%, as required by the Comprehensive Plan. This will accommodate both the 8% current proposed reduction, and the potential reduction that would result from use of the Special Setback easement as described previously.

The project is not subject to AB 2097, though future residents may walk or bike 0.6 miles to the Caltrain station. There is a SamTrans bus stop at University Avenue and Middlefield Road and a VTA bus stop at Channing Avenue and Middlefield Road, however neither bus stop provides sufficient service to qualify as a high-quality transit stop under AB 2097. This project is not located along a Safe Route to School, but future residents could easily access Webster Street, which is a Safe Route to School for Addison Elementary School and Greene Middle School. It is within walking distance of many Downtown businesses, shops, and restaurants.
The project site is located within the Downtown Neighborhood RPP District.15 As such, a future resident of this development could purchase a permit to park on local streets. The cost of this permit is currently $56 per year, plus $5 for daily visitor permits. There is a maximum of 50 daily permits per year, and they do not permit overnight parking.
In contrast, the anticipated cost of an unbundled on-site parking space in the garage is $150 per month. Members of the PTC are concerned that this would incentivize future residents to get an RPP permit instead of paying to park in the garage. While street parking is allowed on Byron Street, no street parking (RPP or otherwise) is allowed on the nearby portions of University Avenue, Middlefield Road, or Hamilton Avenue. The PTC’s concern is that an individual would opt to park more than a block away from their home.
Staff recommends the following condition of approval be added to the Record of Land Use Action based on the PTC’s motion and Chair Akin’s comments made during the discussion:
“SPILLOVER PARKING. As part of the TDM plan, the applicant shall propose a method to assess spillover parking created by the project, to the satisfaction of the Chief Transportation Official, and identify incentives or penalties to address spillover parking, if it occurs. This method may include but is not limited to:
oBeginning two years after building occupancy, the property owner shall report to the Office of Transportation the number of parking spaces being leased. This shall be compared to the number of RPP permits issued to residents of this building, for the purpose of determining if resident parking is spilling over into the neighborhood.”
These have been incorporated into the draft conditions of approval (Attachment E).
Bird Friendly Glass
The ARB and PTC both previously asked the applicant to consider bird safe glass for the sixth- floor office space and for the balconies, as the railing material is glass. When the sixth floor 15 Additional information on the RPP program is located here:

changed to proposed residential units, rather than office, the residential unit windows were proposed to be clear glass, with bird safe glass on the balconies.
The PTC then recommended in October that the applicant add bird safe glass to the sixth floor in areas where the corners create a “see-though” effect that could result in a higher likelihood of bird strikes. The applicant has incorporated this into all four corner units, as the condition facing Byron Street is the same as facing Middlefield Road.
Public Benefit
The project proposes to provide two Very-Low Income, five Low Income, and six Moderate Income units; 20% of the total 66 units. The PHZ process offers developers the option to provide affordable units as the public benefit of a PC project, as described in the September 21, 2020 Council Staff Report.17 The proposed meets the weighted 20% as shown below. 660 UNIVERSITY BELOW MARKET RATE UNIT CALCULATION

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 October 31, 2025 which is 10 days in advance of the meeting. Postcard mailing occurred on October 29, 2025 which is 12 days in advance of the meeting.
Public Comments
Neighbors at The Hamilton have been involved in this process, both by email and in person comments. Comments raised by stakeholders primarily relate to noise, traffic and the transportation demand management plan, construction-related disruptions, and protection of the neighboring Oak tree. Staff also received letters of support of the project. All comment letters are included in Attachment H.
Staff has also responded to questions regarding application processing, hearing dates, and comparing the PHZ project and process to the Builder’s Remedy project and process. One commenter has asserted that the applicant’s Builder’s Remedy application is not valid because it represents too great of a change from the SB 330 pre-application that provides the applicant with the ability to rely on the Builder’s Remedy. The commenter is correct that the formal application on file for the Builder‘s Remedy project is not consistent with the SB-330 pre- application. However, under the parties’ tolling agreement, the applicant still has the ability to modify its application to qualify for the Builder’s Remedy.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The subject project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. A Draft Environmental Impact Report has been published and was circulated from April 2, 2024, to May 17, 2024. The Draft EIR found there are no significant and unavoidable environmental impacts, any potentially significant impacts can be mitigated as further discussed in the document, see Attachment I. The City published a Final EIR in March 2025, which evaluated a 63-unit development with 9,115 sf of office.
On October 1, 2025 the City published a Revised Final EIR to reflect the proposed project, as revised, and to analyze whether the revisions changed the conclusions of the previously published analysis. The FEIR concludes that the project would not result in any new or more significant impacts, beyond what was assessed in the previously published Draft and Final EIR.

Resolution of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Certifying the Adequacy of the Final Environmental Impact Report for the 660 University Mixed-Use Project, and Adopting the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, All Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
RECITALS
A. On December 21, 2021, Lund Smith of Smith Development (“Applicant”) submitted an application to rezone the subject parcels located at 511 Byron St, 660 University Ave, and 680 University Ave/500 Middlefield Rd (the “Subject Property,” more particularly described in Exhibit A) from RM-20 to Planned Community/Planned Home Zoning (PC/PHZ) and to deconstruct two existing medical office buildings (9,216 square feet) and redevelop the subject property with a mixed use development including 9,115 square feet of office space and 63 multi-family residential units, fourteen of which would be below market rate (the “Project”). The applicant proposes to merge the three existing lots at the Subject Property through a separate application.
B. Approval of the Development Agreement Project would constitute a project under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, together with related state and local implementation guidelines promulgated thereunder (“CEQA”).
C. The City is the Lead Agency pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21067 as it has the principal responsibility to approve and regulate the Development Agreement Project.
D. The City, in compliance with CEQA, prepared an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to provide an assessment of the potential environmental consequences of approving and constructing the Project.
E. The City circulated a Draft Environmental Impact Report (“Draft EIR”) for public review from April 2, 2024, to May 17, 2024. The Architectural Review Board held a public hearing during this review period on April 18, 2024, to receive comments on the Draft EIR. The Draft EIR evaluated a 63-unit development with 9,115 sf of office.
F. The City considered the comments received during the Draft EIR public review period and prepared a Final Environmental Impact Report (“Final EIR”) in March, 2025, which evaluated a 63-unit development with 9,115 sf of office. Following modifications to the design, a the City released a Revised Final EIR on October 1, 2025, which evaluated a 70- unit development with 1,984 square feet of office. The Revised Final Environmental Impact Report is comprised of the Draft EIR and its Attachments A-E, together with the Revised Final Responses to Comments, Revised Revisions to the Draft EIR and CEQA Implications of Changes to the Proposed Project, and its Attachments A-E published on Item 6

2 October 1, 2025 (collectively, all of said documents are referred to herein as the “EIR”).
G. The Council is the decision-making body for approval of the Development Agreement Project.
H. CEQA requires that in connection with approval of a project for which an environmental impact report has been prepared that identifies one or more significant environmental effects of the project, the decision-making body of a public agency make certain findings regarding those effects.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALO ALTO AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Certification and General Findings
The City Council, in the exercise of its independent judgment, makes and adopts the following findings to comply with the requirements of CEQA, including Sections 15091, 15092, and 15093 of the CEQA Guidelines, based upon the entire record of proceedings for the Project. All statements set forth in this Resolution constitute formal findings of the City Council, including the statements set forth in this paragraph and in the recitals above.
1. The City Council was presented with, and has independently reviewed and analyzed, the EIR and other information in the record, and has considered the information contained therein prior to acting upon and approving the Project. The City Council bases the findings stated below on such review.
2. The EIR provides an adequate basis for considering and acting upon the Project. The City Council has considered all of the evidence and arguments presented during consideration of the Project and the EIR. In determining whether the Project may have a significant impact on the environment, and in adopting the findings set forth herein, the City Council certifies that it has complied with Public Resources Code Sections 21081, 21081.5, and 21082.2.
3. The City Council agrees with the characterization of the EIR with respect to all impacts initially identified as “less than significant” and finds that those impacts have been described accurately and are less than significant as so described in the EIR. This finding does not apply to impacts identified as significant or potentially significant that are reduced to a less than significant level by mitigation measures included in the EIR. The disposition of each of those impacts and the mitigation measures adopted to reduce them are addressed specifically in the findings below.
4. Mitigation measures associated with the potentially significant impacts of the Project will be implemented through the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) described below, which is the responsibility of the City to enforce.

3 5. The EIR considers a reasonable range of potentially feasible alternatives, sufficient to foster informed decision making, public participation and a reasoned choice, in accordance with CEQA.
6. The Revised Final EIR contains responses to comments received on the Draft EIR. The Revised Final EIR also contains corrections and clarifications to the text and analysis of the Draft EIR where warranted. The City Council does hereby find that such changes and additional information are not significant new information under CEQA because such changes and additional information do not indicate that any of the following would result from approval and implementation of the Project: (i) any new significant environmental impact or substantially more severe environmental impact (not already disclosed and evaluated in the Draft EIR) would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented, (ii) any feasible mitigation measure considerably different from those analyzed in the Draft EIR that would lessen a significant environmental impact of the Project has been proposed and would not be implemented, (iii) any feasible alternative considerably different from those analyzed in the Draft EIR that would lessen a significant environmental impact of the Project has been proposed that would not be implemented, or (iv) the Draft EIR was fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment were precluded. The City Council does find and determine that recirculation of the Revised Final EIR for further public review and comment is not warranted or required under the provisions of CEQA.
7. The City Council finds and certifies that the EIR has been prepared and completed in compliance with CEQA and reflects the City of Palo Alto’s independent judgment and analysis.
8. The City Council makes findings in this resolution with respect to significant effects on the environment of the Project, as identified in the EIR, with the understanding that all of the information in this Resolution is intended as a summary of the full administrative record supporting the EIR, which full administrative record should be consulted for the full details supporting these findings.
SECTION 2. Significant Impacts Reduced to Less than Significant.
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, the City Council hereby makes these findings with respect to the potential for significant environmental impacts from approval and implementation of the Project and the means for mitigating those impacts.
These findings do not attempt to describe the full analysis of each environmental impact contained in the EIR. Instead, the findings provide a summary description of each impact, describe the applicable mitigation measures identified in the EIR and adopted by the City, and state the findings on the significance of each impact after imposition of the adopted mitigation measures. A full explanation of these environmental findings and conclusions can be found in Item 6

4 the EIR. These findings hereby incorporate by reference the discussion and analysis in the EIR that support the EIR's determinations regarding significant project impacts and mitigation measures designed to address those impacts. The facts supporting these findings are found in the record as a whole for the Project.
In making these findings, the City ratifies, adopts, and incorporates into these findings the analysis and explanation in the EIR, and ratifies, adopts, and incorporates into these findings the determinations and conclusions of the EIR relating to environmental impacts and mitigation measures, except to the extent that any such determinations and conclusions are specifically and expressly modified by these findings.
The EIR identified a number of significant and potentially significant environmental impacts that the Project will cause or to which the Project would contribute. The following significant effects can be fully addressed and reduced to less than significant through the adoption and implementation of standard project requirements incorporated as part of the Project and feasible mitigation measures. Those impacts, along with the standard project requirements and mitigation measures to reduce them to less than significant, are listed below as referenced in the EIR.
Air Quality
Impact AQ -1: The project may potentially impact sensitive receptors nearby from carbon monoxide hotspots and toxic air contaminants.
a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed in Section 3 of the Initial Study (Attachment B to the Draft EIR) and Section 5 of the Revised Final EIR.
b) Mitigation Measures. The following mitigation measure will be adopted and will be implemented as provided in the MMRP, and as further described in the remainder of these findings:
AQ-1. Construction Emissions Reduction. Prior to construction activity and issuance of grading and building permits, the property owner or their designee shall ensure that the following specifications are detailed in the grading plan, building plan, and any contractor agreements and ensure that they be implemented during construction:
• All mobile off-road equipment (wheeled or tracked) used during construction activities over 25 horsepower shall meet the USEPA Tier 4 final standards. Tier 4 certification can be for the original equipment or equipment that is retrofitted to meet the Tier 4 Final standards.
• All mobile off-road equipment (wheeled or tracked) used during construction activities under 25 horsepower, such as generators, pumps, forklifts, cement and mortar mixes, and plate compactors shall be equipped with Level 3 diesel Item 6

5 particulate filters.
c) Findings and Rationale. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project, which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the EIR. Construction emissions after implementation of Mitigation Measures AQ -1 were estimated using CalEEMod. Table 8 shows the health risks associated with the project’s construction activity after incorporation of Tier 4 engines and Level 3 diesel particulate fi lters on -site construction equipment pursuant to Mitigation Measure AQ-1. As shown in Table 8, the use of Tier 4 engines pursuant to Mitigation Measure AQ -1 reduces the excess cancer risk at the nearest sensitive receptor to below the project- level 10 in one million significance threshold and reduces PM2.5 em issions below the increase of > 0.3 µg/m3 annual average.
Therefore, individual health risk impacts would be less than significant after mitigation.
d) Remaining Impact. Mitigation Measure AQ -1 specified above would reduce all potential impacts to less than significant.
Biological Resources
Impact BIO-1: The project may result in impacts to protected nesting bird species.
a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed in Section
4.1.3 of the Draft EIR.
b) Mitigation Measures. The following mitigation measure will be adopted and will be implemented as provided in the MMRP, and as further described in the remainder of these findings:
BIO-1 Nesting Bird Surveys and Avoidance. Construction of the project and other site disturbing activities that would involve vegetation or tree removal shall be prohibited during the general avian nesting season (February 1 – August 31), if feasible. If nesting season avoidance is not feasible, the applicant shall retain a qualified biologist, as approved by the City of Palo Alto, to conduct a preconstruction nesting bird survey to determine the presence/absence, location, and activity status of any active nests on or adjacent to the project site. The extent of the survey buffer area surrounding the site shall be established by the qualified biologist to ensure that direct and indirect effects to nesting birds are avoided. To avoid the destruction of active nests and to protect the reproductive success of birds protected by the MBTA and CFGC, nesting bird surveys shall be performed not more than 14 days prior to scheduled vegetation clearance and structure demolition. In the event that active nests are discovered, a suitable buffer (typically a minimum buffer of 50 feet for passerines and a minimum buffer of 250 feet for raptors) shall be established around such active nests and no construction shall be allowed within the buffer areas until a qualified biologist has determined that the nest is Item 6

6 no longer active (i.e., the nestlings have fledged and are no longer reliant on the nest).
Nesting bird surveys are not required for construction activities occurring between August 31 and February 1.
c) Finding and Rationale. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project, which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the EIR. The only wildlife that is anticipated to be present within the project area is wildlife associated with the built urban environment such native and migratory birds. Implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-1 would ensure protection of nesting birds that may be affected during construction activities. This measure would reduce the potentially significant impact to special-status species and wildlife movement to a less than significant level.
d) Remaining Impact. Mitigation Measure BIO -1 specified above would reduce all potential impacts to less than significant.
Impact BIO-2: Construction activities near adjacent trees, specifically the heritage protected oak tree located on the adjacent parcel, could impact protected trees and conflict with the city’s local tree and landscape preservation and management ordinance.
a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed in Section
4.1.3 of the Draft EIR and Sections 4 of the Revised Final EIR.
b) Mitigation Measures. The following mitigation measure will be adopted and will be implemented as provided in the MMRP, and as further described in the remainder of these findings:
BIO-2. Tree Protection Plan. During the project design phase, the project applicant shall comply with and implement design guidelines listed in Section 6.1 of the February 7, 2024 Arborist Report prepared by David L. Babby. Guidelines include delineation of tree protection zones, specific actions related to grading and excavation, specifications for new paving and hardscape, and erosion control and landscaping requirements, among others., the project applicant shall comply with tree protection measures listed in Section 6.2 of the Arborist Report. Guidelines include a review of tree protection and construction processes, inspections and supervisions under direction of the project arborist, and installation of TPZs, among others. During demolition, grading, and construction, the project applicant shall comply with tree protection measures listed in Section 6.3 of the Arborist Report. Guidelines include specific actions related to demolition, excavation, and trenching, supervisions under direction of the project arborist, and disposal requirements, among others. A qualified arborist shall be retained and present for any activity that could impact trees on- and off-site.
BIO-3. Oak Tree Pruning and Protection. Larger roots shall be pruned using a fine-tooth saw, and smaller roots shall be pruned using a hand looper. If roots are to be left Item 6

7 exposed for long periods of time, especially in warm weather, they must be covered in burlap cloth and kept wet. Branch pruning shall be highly selective and limited to avoid significant cuts. A qualified arborist shall be present on site to oversee any root pruning activities, as well as any branch pruning activities and shall provide guidance regarding which branches to cut. The qualified arborist shall also perform annual inspections for five to 10 years following building occupancy. Branch pruning work shall be performed by a tree service with an ISA Certified Arborist in a supervisory role on-site.
c) Finding and Rationale. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project, which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the EIR. The neighboring Coast Live Oak tree is planned to be protected during construction through the mitigation measures and project-specific conditions of approval. Implementation of mitigation measures BIO-2 and BIO-3 would ensure the protection of on- and offsite trees, especially the protected oak tree, and reduce impacts to a less than significant level.
d) Remaining Impact. Mitigation Measures BIO-2 and BIO-3 specified above would reduce all potential impacts to less than significant.
Cultural Resources
Impact CR -1: Construction of the proposed project would involve ground- disturbing activities such as grading and surface excavation, which have the potential to unearth or adversely impact previously unidentified archaeological resources.
a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed in Section 5 of the Initial Study (Attachment B of the Draft EIR) and further discussed in Section 5 of the Revised Final EIR.
b) Mitigation Measures. The following mitigation measure will be adopted and will be implemented as provided in the MMRP, and as further described in the remainder of these findings:
CUL-1. Worker’s Environmental Awareness Program. The property owner or their designee shall retain a qualified archaeologist to conduct a Worker’s Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP) training for archaeological sensitivity for all construction personnel prior to the commencement of any ground disturbing activities.
Archaeological sensitivity training shall include a description of the types of cultural material that may be encountered, cultural sensitivity issues, regulatory issues, the proper protocol for treatment of the materials in the event of a find, and an outline of the penalties for the willful and intention damage of cultural resources.
CUL-2. Unanticipated Discovery of Archaeological Resources. In the event that archaeological resources are unearthed during project construction, all earth - Item 6

8 disturbing work near the find must be temporarily suspended or redirected until an archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology (NPS 1983) has evaluated the nature and significance of the find. If the discovery proves to be significant under CEQA (Section 15064.5f; PRC 21082), additional work, such as preservation in place or archaeological data recovery, shall occur as recommended by the archeologist in coordination with City staff and if applicable, the most likely descendants. Once the resource has been properly treated or protected, work in the area may resume. A Native American representative shall be retained to monitor mitigation work associated with Native American cultural material.
c) Findings and Rationale. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project, which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the EIR. By implementing Mitigation Measure CUL-1 and CUL-2, the City would evaluate and require steps to protect or treat significant archaeological resources if encountered during construction, and would require archaeological sensitivity training for constructio n personnel, resulting in a less than significant impact.
d) Remaining Impact. Mitigation Measure s CUL-1 and CUL -2 specified above would reduce all potential impacts to less than significant.

Impact GEO-1. Construction of the proposed project would involve ground-disturbing activities such as grading and surface excavation, which have the potential to unearth or adversely impact unique paleontological resources.
a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed in Section 7 of the Initial Study (Attachment B of the Draft EIR).
b) Mitigation Measures. The following mitigation measures will be adopted and will be implemented as provided in the MMRP, and as further described in the remainder of these findings.
GEO-1. Paleontological Resources Monitoring and Mitigation. Qualified Professional Paleontologist. Prior to excavation, the project applicant shall retain a Qualified Professional Paleontologist (defined by the SVP (2010) as an individual, preferably with an M.S. or Ph.D. in paleontology or geology, who is experienced with paleontological procedures and techniques, who is knowledgeable in the geology of California, and who has worked as a paleontological mitigation project supervisor for at least two years).
The Qualified Professional Paleontologist shall direct all mitigation measures related to paleontological resources.

9 Paleontological Worker Environmental Awareness Program. Prior to the start of construction, the Qualified Professional Paleontologist or their designee shall conduct a paleontological Worker Environmental Awareness Program (WEAP) training for construction personnel regarding the appearance of fossils and the procedures for notifying paleontological staff should fossils be discovered by construction staff.
Paleontological Monitoring. Full-time paleontological monitoring shall be conducted during ground disturbing construction activities reaching more than 5 feet below the ground surface in areas mapped as Quaternary coarse-grained alluvium and ground.
Paleontological monitoring shall be conducted by a paleontological monitor with experience with collection and salvage of paleontological resources and who meets the minimum standards of the SVP (2010) for a Paleontological Resources Monitor. The duration and timing of the monitoring will be determined by the Qualified Professional Paleontologist based on the observation of the geologic setting from initial ground disturbance, and subject to the review and approval by the City of Palo Alto. If the Qualified Professional Paleontologist determines that full-time monitoring is no longer warranted, based on the specific geologic conditions once the full depth of excavations has been reached, they may recommend that monitoring be reduced to periodic spot- checking or ceased entirely. Monitoring shall be reinstated if any new ground disturbances are required, and reduction or suspension shall be reconsidered by the Qualified Professional Paleontologist at that time.
In the event of a fossil discovery by the paleontological monitor or construction personnel, the following measures shall apply:
• Fossil Salvage. If fossils are discovered, the paleontological monitor shall have the authority to halt or temporarily divert construction equipment within 50 feet of the find until the paleontological monitor and/or Qualified Professional Paleontologist evaluate the discovery and determine if the fossil may be considered significant. Typically, fossils can be safely salvaged quickly by a single paleontological monitor and not disrupt construction activity. In some cases, larger fossils (such as complete skeletons or large mammal fossils) require more extensive excavation and longer salvage periods. Bulk matrix sampling may be necessary to recover small invertebrates or microvertebrates from within paleontologically sensitive deposits.
• Fossil Preparation and Curation. Once salvaged, significant fossils shall be identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level, prepared to a curation-ready condition, and curated in a museum repository with a permanent paleontological collection along with all pertinent field notes, photos, data, and maps. Fossils of undetermined significance at the time of collection may also warrant curation at the discretion of the Qualified Professional Paleontologist. • Final Paleontological Mitigation Report. Upon completion of ground disturbing activity (and curation of fossils if necessary) the Qualified Professional Paleontologist shall prepare a final report describing the results of the Item 6

10 paleontological monitoring efforts associated with the project. The report shall include a summary of the field and laboratory methods, an overview of the project geology and paleontology, a list of taxa recovered (if any), an analysis of fossils recovered (if any) and their scientific significance, and recommendations.
The report shall be submitted to the City of Palo Alto Director of Planning and Development Services. If the monitoring efforts produced fossils, then a copy of the report shall also be submitted to the designated museum repository.
c) Finding and Rationale. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project, which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the EIR. Implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-1 would require a paleontological WEAP as well as paleontological monitoring and reporting which would reduce impacts related to paleontological resources to a less than significant level. This measure will be included in the EIR’s executive summary and mitigation monitoring and reporting program. Therefore, the impacts would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
d) Remaining Impact. Mitigation Measure GEO-1 specified above would reduce all potential impacts to less than significant.
Noise and Vibrations
Impact N-1. Construction and demolition activities associated with the proposed project would intermittently generate noise adjacent to the project site. These construction noise levels would not exceed the applicable noise level thresholds. Noise associated with oper ation of the project would be generally similar to existing noise generated by nearby residential and commercial uses and would not cause a significant change in ambient noise levels. This impact would be less than significant, however mitigation measures are recommended.
a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed in Section 4.2 of the Draft EIR and further discussed in Section 5 of the Revised Final EIR.
b) Mitigation Measures. The following mitigation measures will be adopted and will be implemented as provided in the MMRP, and as further described in the remainder of these findings.
N-1. Construction Noise Reduction Measures. The construction contractor shall prepare a Construction Noise Control Plan prior to issuance of a grading permit. The Construction Noise Control Plan shall specify the noise reduction measures to be implemented during project construction to ensure noise levels are reduced at nearby residences. The measures specified in the Construction Noise Control Plan shall be included on the building and grading plans and shall be implemented by the Item 6

11 construction contractor during construction. At a minimum, the Construction Noise Control Plan shall include the following measures:
1. Construction Operating Hours. Limit all construction activities to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
Construction activity shall be prohibited on Sundays and national holidays.
2. Mufflers. During all construction phases, all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, shall be operated with closed engine doors and shall be equipped with properly operating and maintained mufflers consistent with manufacturers’ standards.
3. Silencing. Power construction equipment (including combustion engines), fixed or mobile, shall be equipped with silencing devices consistent with manufacturer’s standards, if available. Equipment shall be properly maintained, and the project applicant or owner shall require any construction contractor to keep documentation on-site during any earthwork or construction activities demonstrating that the equipment has been maintained in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications.
4. Stationary Equipment. All stationary construction equipment shall be placed so that emitted noise is directed away from the nearest sensitive receptors.
5. Signage and Noise Complaint Coordinator. The project applicant shall designate an on-site construction project manager who shall be responsible for responding to any complaints about construction noise. This person shall be responsible for responding to concerns of neighboring properties about construction noise disturbance and shall be available for responding to any construction noise complaints during the hours that construction is to take place. They shall also be responsible for determining the cause of the noise complaint (e.g., bad silencer) and shall require that reasonable measures be implemented to correct the problem. A toll-free telephone number shall be posted at construction site entrances for the duration of construction and provided in all notices (mailed, online website, and construction site postings) for receiving questions or complaints during construction and shall also include procedures requiring that the on-site construction manager to respond to callers. The on-site construction project manager shall be required to track complaints pertaining to construction noise, ongoing throughout demolition, grading, and/or construction and shall notify the City’s Community Development Director of each complaint occurrence.
6. Smart Back-Up Alarms. Mobile construction equipment shall have smart back- up alarms that automatically adjust the sound level of the alarm in response to ambient noise levels.
7. Equipment Idling. Construction vehicles and equipment shall not be left idling for longer than five minutes when not in use.
8. Temporary Noise Barriers. Erect a temporary noise barrier along the eastern project boundary, and the southern and western project boundaries, where feasible, during demolition and grading/excavation phases. Temporary noise Item 6

12 barriers shall be constructed with solid materials (e.g., wood) with a density of at least 1.5 pounds per square foot with no gaps from the ground to the top of the barrier at a minimum height of 12 feet. Where a solid barrier is not feasible, sound blankets affixed to the construction fencing shall be used. If a sound blanket is used, the sound blanket must have a density of at least 1 pound per square foot with no gaps from the ground to the top of the construction fencing, and the sound blank shall be rated sound transmission class (STC) 32 or higher.
c) Finding and Rationale. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project, which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the EIR. As stated in Section 9.10.060 of the PAMC, the noise level at the property line may not exceed 110 dBA. Noise during the highest intensity phase of construction would be below the City’s Municipal Code threshold of 110 dBA.
Nevertheless, if uncontrolled, construction activity may cause a temporary increase of noise levels in the project vicinity. Therefore, Mitigation Measure N-1 is recommended to further reduce noise levels during construction. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
d) Remaining Impact. There is no significant impact, however Mitigation Measure N -1 specified above would further reduce any potential impacts.
Impact N-1. Construction activities associated with the proposed project would intermittently generate groundborne vibration at residential receptors adjacent to the project site. Vibration could exceed FTA standards for potential damage to the adjacent residential building to the southeast, due to the proximity of construction equipment. However, this impact would be less than significant with implementation of mitigation measure N-2.
a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed in Section 4.2 of the Draft EIR and further discussed in Section 5 of the Revised Final EIR.
b) Mitigation Measures. The following mitigation measures will be adopted and will be implemented as provided in the MMRP, and as further described in the remainder of these findings.
N-2. Construction Vibration Control Plan. The construction contractor shall prepare a Vibration Control Plan prior to issuance of a grading permit. The Construction Vibration Control Plan shall specify the vibration reduction measures to be implemented during project construction to ensure vibration levels are reduced to 0.2 in/sec PPV at nearby residences. The measures specified in the Construction Vibration Control Plan shall be included on the building and grading plans and shall be implemented by the construction contractor during construction. At a minimum, the Construction Vibration Control Plan shall include the following measures:

13 1. For paving activities within 25 feet of offsite residences, a static roller shall be used in lieu of a vibratory roller.
2. For grading and earthwork activities (not including the drop-bucket or scoop) within 15 feet of offsite residences, off-road equipment shall be limited to 100 horsepower or less.
c) Finding and Rationale. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project, which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the EIR. Mitigation Measure N-2 would require that use of a static roller in lieu of a vibratory roller is used within 25 feet of off-site receptors to reduce construction-related vibration. Specifically, use of a static roller would generate vibration levels of approximately 0.05 in/sec PPV at a distance of 25 feet (McIver 2012).
Additionally, Mitigation N-2 would require that alternative equipment is used near off- site receptors to reduce construction related vibration. Grading and earthwork equipment, such as a small bulldozer, that is limited to 100 horsepower or less would generate less than 0.01 in/sec PPV within 15 feet of the adjacent sensitive receptor.
With implementation of Mitigation Measure N-2, project groundborne vibration would be less than the significance threshold of 0.2 in/sec PPV at the adjacent off-site residence to the southeast. Therefore, with mitigation, project construction vibration impacts at all surrounding sensitive receptors would be less than significant.
d) Remaining Impact. Mitigation Measure N-2 specified above would reduce all potential impacts to less than significant.
Tribal Cultural Resources
Impact TRC-1. There is potential to uncover buried archaeological and tribal cultural resources during ground disturbing activities, which could potentially be considered tribal cultural resources eligible for listing in the CRHR or a local register or be considered tribal cultural resources. Should project construction activities encounter and damage or destroy a tribal cultural resource or resources.
a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed in Section 18 of the Initial Study (Attachment B of the Draft EIR).
b) Mitigation Measures. The following mitigation measures will be adopted and will be implemented as provided in the MMRP, and as further described in the remainder of these findings.
TCR-1. Unanticipated Discovery of Tribal Cultural Resources. In the event that cultural resources of Native American origin are identified during implementation of the proposed project, all earth-disturbing work within 50 feet of the find shall be temporarily suspended or redirected until an archaeologist and culturally affiliated Native American representative have evaluated the nature and significance of the find.

14 If the City, in consultation with local Native Americans, determines that the resource is a tribal cultural resource and thus significant under CEQA, a mitigation plan shall be prepared and implemented in accordance with state guidelines and in consultation with local Native American group(s). The plan shall include avoidance of the resource or, if avoidance of the resource is infeasible, the plan shall outline the appropriate treatment of the resource in coordination with the culturally affiliated local Native American tribal representative and, if applicable, a qualified archaeologist. Examples of appropriate mitigation for tribal cultural resources include, but are not limited to, protecting the cultural character and integrity of the resource, protecting traditional use of the resource, protecting the confidentiality of the resource, or heritage recovery.
c) Finding and Rationale. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project, which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the EIR. Implementation of Mitigation Measure TCR-1 would ensure that any unanticipated discoveries of tribal cultural resources are avoided or, where avoidance is infeasible, mitigated to a less than significant level. Therefore, with implementation of Mitigation Measure TCR-1, impacts to tribal cultural resources would be reduced to a less than significant level.
d) Remaining Impact. Mitigation Measure TRC- 1 specified above would reduce all potential impacts to less than significant.
SECTION 3. Project Alternatives.
Public Resources Code section 21002 prohibits a public agency from approving a project if there are feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen the significant environmental effects of the project. When a lead agency finds, even after the adoption of all feasible mitigation measures, that a project will still cause one or more significant environmental effects that cannot be substantially lessened or avoided, it must, prior to approving the project as mitigated, first determine whether there are any project alternatives that are feasible and that would substantially lessen or avoid the project's significant impacts.
Because all of the Project’s impacts are being mitigated through the adoption of mitigation measures described above, and because the Project will thus not result in any significant environmental effects, the City Council finds that there is no need to further consider the feasibility of any of the alternatives identified in the Final EIR.
SECTION 4. Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(a) CEQA requires the lead agency approving a project to adopt a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the changes made to the project that it has adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. An MMRP has been prepared and is recommended for adoption by the City Council concurrently with the adoption of these findings to ensure Item 6

Mountain View, California 94041
The Final Revised Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the 660 University Avenue Mixed-Use Project identifies the mitigation measures that must be implemented to reduce the environmental impacts associated with the project. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 21081.6 requires a public agency to adopt a monitoring and reporting program for assessing and ensuring compliance with any required mitigation measures applied to proposed development. As stated in section 21081.6(a)(1) of the Public Resources Code:
... the public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment.
Section 21081.6 also provides general guidelines for implementing mitigation monitoring programs and indicates that specific reporting and/or monitoring requirements, to be enforced during project implementation, shall be defined as part of adopting an EIR.
The mitigation monitoring table lists those mitigation measures that would be included as conditions of approval for the project. To ensure that the mitigation measures are properly implemented, a monitoring program has been devised which identifies the timing and responsibility for monitoring each measure.

maintain the existing character of the
neighborhoods in which the uses are located.
Policy L-1.5: Regulate land uses in Palo
Alto according to the land use definitions
in this Element and Map L-6
The proposed amendments ensure compliance
with this policy and modify the land use map to

only residential uses are allowed.
SECTION 3. The City Council hereby amends the description of the Multiple-Family Land Use Designation in the City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Community Design Element to read as follows:
Multiple-Family Residential: The permitted number of housing units will vary by area, depending on existing land use, proximity to major streets and public transit, distance to shopping and environmental problems. Net densities will range from 8 to 40 units and 8 to 90 persons per acre. Density should be on the lower end of the scale next to single-family residential areas. Densities higher than what is permitted may be allowed where measurable community benefits will be derived, services and facilities are available, and the net effect will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Population densities will range up to 2.25 persons per unit by 2030.

Ordinance No. ____
Ordinance of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Amending Section 18.08.040 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code (The Zoning Map) to Change the Classification of Property Located at 511 Byron St, 660 University Ave, and 680 University Ave/500 Middlefield Rd from RM-20 Low Density Multiple-Family Residential (RM-20) to Planned Community (PC)
The Council of the City of Palo Alto ORDAINS as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings and Declarations.
(a) On December 21, 2021, Lund Smith of Smith Development (“Applicant”) submitted an application for Rezoning to Planned Community/Planned Home Zoning (PHZ) to deconstruct two existing medical office buildings (9,216 square feet) and redevelop the site at 511 Byron St, 660 University Ave, and 680 University Ave/500 Middlefield Rd (the “Subject Property,” more particularly described in Exhibit A) with a residential mixed use development. Following several revisions, the project includes a new six-story mixed-use building with 66 multi-family residential units and 1,984 square feet of commercial office space, plus ground floor resident common space, an office lobby, and a fitness area for residents and office tenants. The 66 units include 19 studios, 39 one-bedroom and eight two-bedroom units and a two level below-grade parking garage. This project also includes a Request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to allow commercial use to replace existing medical office in the Multiple Family Residential Land Use Designation. (the “Project”). The applicant proposes to merge the three existing lots at the Subject Property through a separate application.
(b) Following Staff Review, the Planning and Transportation Commission (“PTC” or “Commission”) reviewed the project on November 16, 2022 and forwarded the project to the Architectural Review Board.
(c) The Architectural Review Board (“ARB” or “Board”) initially reviewed the project on December 1, 2022 and, following applicant modifications, reviewed the project again on April 18, 2024 and recommended approval of the project to the City Council. (d) Following the ARB’s April 2024 recommendation, the applicant again made modifications to the plans. The ARB reviewed further revised plans on December 5, 2024 and recommended approval of the project to the City Council. (e) The PTC reviewed the revised project on March 12, 2025; and continued the hearing to date uncertain.
(f) Following the PTC’s March 2025 hearing, the applicant made substantial modifications to the plans. The ARB again reviewed further revised plans on August 21, 2025 and recommended approval of the project to the City Council.

(g) The PTC reviewed the revised project on October 8, 2025 and recommended approval of the project to the City Council with conditions.
(h) Approval of the Planned Community Project would constitute a project under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, together with related state and local implementation guidelines promulgated thereunder (“CEQA”). (i) The City is the Lead Agency pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21067 as it has the principal responsibility to approve and regulate the Planned Community Project. (j) The City, in compliance with CEQA, prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report for the project. The Draft EIR was circulated for public review from April 2, 2024 to May 17, 2024.
The Draft EIR found there are no significant and unavoidable environmental impacts. A response to comments and Final EIR, published in March 2025, maintained there are no significant and unavoidable impacts associated with the revisions made to the design. A revised Final EIR, published in September 2025, did not result in any change to these conclusions. (k) The Council is the decision-making body for approval of the Planned Community Project. (l) The site is so situated, and the use or uses proposed for the site are of such characteristics that the application of general districts or combining districts will not provide sufficient flexibility to allow the proposed development. Specifically, the project proposes mixed use development with a XXX FAR and a 73.6 foot height, setbacks ranging from zero to sixteen feet, reduced open space and a parking reduction in excess of what is permitted by code. The existing RM-20 zoning does not allow the proposed commercial use and no other existing zoning district would permit the project as proposed. In order to provide the floor area, lot coverage, setbacks, and other standards that allow for development of the project as proposed, a planned community rezoning is necessary.
(m) Development of the site under the provisions of the PC planned community district will result in public benefits not otherwise attainable by application of the regulations of general districts or combining districts, as set forth in Section 6 of this ordinance. (n) The use or uses permitted, and the site development regulations applicable within the district are consistent with the Palo Alto Comprehensive plan, as amended, and compatible with existing and potential uses on adjoining sites or within the general vicinity, as set forth in the Record of Land Use Action (Exhibit B) accompanying this ordinance.
SECTION 2. Amendment of Zoning Map.
Section 18.08.040 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code, the “Zoning Map,” is hereby amended by changing the zoning of Subject Property from Low Density Multiple-Family Residential (RM-20) to “Planned Community Zone (PC) _____”.
