Project Description
The project is a request for a Board Level Architectural Review to allow exterior improvements
to the existing building and exterior site. The project site is located on E. Bayshore Road,
directly adjacent to the Baylands area, and is zoned ROLM(E)(D)(AD) which allows for limited
office, research, and manufacturing uses in a manufacturing/research park environment.
Generally, the context of the area around the subject site is limited office-like uses that are
boarded on the west by the 101 freeway and by the Baylands to the east.

The exterior changes to the existing building include the replacement of the brick accent panels
on the façade with Shou Sugi Ban cladding (wood-like panel) in a dark grey/black color. The
existing concrete/cement plaster is proposed to be painted a dark gray color. The project will
preserve the existing openings on the building with clear glazing and dark metal accents. The
rooftop mechanical screen will be constructed of aluminum panels painted medium gray color
consistent with the other grey and black colors proposed for the façade. The proposed colors
and materials appear to complement each other and provide a more contemporary appearance
to the existing building while balancing the Baylands Design Guidelines requirements for muted
non-reflective colors and finishes.

Additionally, the project includes changes to the northern exterior area of the site, where
existing paved asphalt and play structures exist from the previous daycare center tenant. The
project proposes to convert this area into an outdoor amenity space for employees that
includes new trees and landscaping. The outdoor amenity space includes an outdoor meeting

                                                                                           Packet Pg. 11

room, exterior lunchroom area, and additional outdoor space with seating called the relaxation
area. The design of the outdoor areas appears to be well-thought-out and compatible with the
proposed improvements to the façade of the building.

Minor changes to the interior of the building include enclosing two existing open courtyards,
utilizing gross FAR exemptions for qualified amenity space that would help reduce trips
generated by employees to the site. The exempted amenity space FAR includes but is not
limited to recreational facilities, credit unions, cafeterias daycare centers, automated teller
machines, convenience stores, and on-site laundry facilities. The project includes a new
fitness/recreation center (480 sf) & two shower/locker rooms with laundry amenities (~143 sf
each) for a total of 765 sf. The existing courtyards are 709 sf; thus, the proposal results in 56 sf
of existing FAR becoming exempt. The fitness/recreation area with the locker rooms area has
been determined to be a qualified amenity and the change to the interior square footage of the
building is exempted from FAR and lot Coverage.

The project's parking lot changes include changes to the northernmost driveway by relocating it
to the center of the site and redesigning the entire parking lot area. The changes increase the
green areas via new planting strips, new trees, and landscaping. These changes increase the
site's compliance with the 50% parking lot shading requirement. The required parking for the
general business office on the site is 53 parking stalls. The site's proposed parking complies with
this requirement by providing five accessible stalls (counted as 10 parking stalls), and 43
standard parking stalls. Additionally, the project includes three long-term bicycle parking spaces
and two short-term bicycle parking spaces, consistent with the parking requirement for the
proposed use.

In terms of the loading area, the project is requesting a Director's adjustment to reduce the
required loading space size (typical delivery truck size, SU-30 vehicle). Overall, the new design
of the project site's parking lot is consistent with the City’s parking facility design standards and
improves the site.

Neighborhood Setting and Character
The subject site is located on E. Bayshore Road and directly adjacent to the Baylands area.
The property’s ROLM base zoning district provides for a limited group of office, research, and
manufacturing uses in a manufacturing/research park environment. Along this stretch of E.
Bayshore Road, there are existing office uses, church use, and automobile dealerships. Further
southeast of the subject site the Baylands area extends to E. Bayshore Road to the Municipal
Service Center at 3201 E. Bayshore Road. The subject site is also adjacent to the 101 freeway
(west of the site). Generally, the context of the subject area is limited office-like uses that are
boarded on the west by the 101 freeway and by the Baylands to the east.

ROLM(E)(D)(AD) Zoning explanation
The ROLM subdistrict Embarcadero (E) modifies the site development regulations of the ROLM
district to apply to smaller sites in areas with limited access or with environmental sensitivity
due to their proximity to the Palo Alto Baylands in the Embarcadero Road area.

                                                                                                Packet Pg. 12

The combining district of (D) requires site and design review intended to provide a process for
review and approval of development in environmentally and ecologically sensitive areas. The
intent of the review is to assure that use and development will be harmonious with other uses
in the general vicinity, and will be compatible with environmental and ecological objectives, and
will be in accord with the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan.

The automobile dealership (AD) combining district modifies the regulations of the ROLM
district, in this case, to create and maintain areas accommodating automobile dealerships
primarily engaged in new and used automobile sales and service on a citywide and regional
basis. Palo Alto Municipal Code Section 18.20.030 details the permitted and conditionally
permitted land uses within the ROLM(E)(D)(AD) district.

It should be noted that this site had a retail preservation waiver application (20PLN-00048)
submitted and approved by the City Council in 2020.1 In short, the site was previously occupied
by a daycare center use (with a Conditional Use Permit) and the City’s retail preservation
ordinance would have required retention of retail or retail-like use. The Director and City
Council agreed that given the site's somewhat remote location, and surrounding context, a
retail preservation waiver was appropriate.

Requested Entitlements, Findings and Purview:
The following discretionary applications are being requested:
   • Architectural Review (AR): The process for evaluating this type of application is set forth
        in PAMC 18.76.020. Site and Design applications that are minor in nature may be
        reviewed through the Architectural Review process. Action by the Director is appealable
        to the City Council if filed within 14 days of the decision (PAMC 18.77.070). AR projects
        are evaluated against specific findings. All findings must be made in the affirmative to
        approve the project. Failure to make any one finding requires project redesign or denial.
        Findings to approve this AR application are provided in Attachment B.

The Comprehensive Plan includes Goals, Policies, and Programs that guide the physical form of
the City. The Comprehensive Plan provides the basis for the City’s development regulations and
is used by City staff to regulate building and development and make recommendations on
projects. Further, ARB Finding #1 requires that the design be consistent and compatible with
applicable elements of the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan.

The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the project site is Research/Office Parks (RO),
which prescribes office, research, and manufacturing establishments whose operations are
buffered from adjacent residential uses. The proposed general business office use is compatible
with the land use designation and zoning of the site. Additionally, the proposed general
business office use is consistent with Comprehensive Plan Policies that seek to maintain the
East Bayshore Rd corridor as a diverse business and industrial area, where the rehabilitation of
existing buildings takes place (Policy L-5.4 & B-7.7).

Baylands Master Plan, Design Guidelines
The proposed project is limited in scope compared to new development where the scope is
more significant and disruptive, and the applicable Baylands design guidelines were applied
during the analysis of the project. The proposed exterior façade change to the existing building
proposes dark colors that are not reflective. The project does not propose any changes to the
height of the existing building, thus preserving the horizon line with low and horizontal
elements

On balance, the project is consistent with the policies in the Comprehensive Plan, Baylands
Design Guidelines, and the required findings. A detailed review of the project’s consistency with
the Comprehensive Plan is provided in Attachment B.

Zoning Compliance4
A detailed review of the proposed project’s consistency with applicable zoning standards has
been performed. A summary table is provided in Attachment C. The following section details
some of the applied zoning regulations that facilitated the changes proposed to the exterior
and interior of the existing building.

FAR Exemption
The existing building on the site has two exterior enclosed courts (open to the sky) that the
project is proposing to fully enclose. This would increase the FAR and coverage for the site in
most cases, except to the extent the new space would be exempt from floor area as on-site
employee amenities that would facilitate the reduction of employee vehicle use. These include
but are not limited to recreational facilities, credit unions, cafeterias, daycare centers,
automated teller machines, convenience stores, and on-site laundry facilities.5 The project is
proposing changes to the interior of the existing building that include a new fitness/recreation
center (480 sf) and two shower/locker rooms with laundry amenities (~143 sf each) for a total

of 765 sf. The existing courtyards are 709 sf total; thus the proposal would exempt 56 sf of
additional existing FAR for the site. This would effectively reduce the FAR for the site as the
fitness/recreation area, with the locker room area, has been determined to be a qualified
amenity space.

Proposed Design
The project consists of exterior changes to the existing building and the surrounding parking lot
areas. The exterior changes to the existing building include the replacement of the brick accent
panels on the façade with Shou Sugi Ban cladding (wood-like panel) in a dark grey/black color
that shows a wood texture. The existing concrete and cement plaster on the exterior of the
building will be painted a dark gray color. The existing openings on the building (windows &
doors) will have clear glazing accented with dark metal panels along the sills and will include
flood protection hardware that will allow flood panels to be installed during a flood event. The
rooftop mechanical screen will be constructed of aluminum panels painted medium gray color.

Overall, the proposed change to the façade is an improvement over the existing façade colors
and materials. The existing façade (as shown above) has a color scheme that includes a sandy
brownish color, with bands of light grey, and is topped with a dark grey roof screen around the
top of the building. The proposed colors and materials appear to complement each other and
provide a more contemporary appearance to the existing building while balancing the Baylands
Design Guidelines requirements for muted non-reflective colors and finishes.

Additionally, the project includes changes to the northern exterior area of the site, where there
are currently paved asphalt and play structures from the previous daycare center tenant. The
project will turn this area into an outdoor amenity space for employees that includes new trees
and landscaping (see images below). The design of the outdoor areas appears to be well
designed and is fitting of the new façade design with hardscape and landscape strips (grass
between pavers) that are rectangular in design, matching the rectangular windows and façade
panels of the building.

                                                                                            Packet Pg. 15

Multimodal Access, Parking, and Loading Space
The existing access to the site is only from E. Bayshore Road, where two driveways provide
access to the site. The northernmost driveway is a two-way driveway on the subject property,
while the southernmost driveway is a shared two-way driveway with the adjacent property.
The project is proposing considerable changes to the exterior parking lot area that surround the
existing building. The changes increase landscaping within the parking area by including
additional planting strips for new trees and landscaping. This increases the site's compliance
with the City’s parking lot landscaping regulations that specify surface parking areas shall
include tree plantings designed to result in 50% shading of parking lot surface areas within 15
years (sheet T.04).6

Though the inclusion of the new planting strips does decrease the area overall on the site that
can be utilized for parking stalls, the 53 parking stalls proposed are compliant with the required
parking for the site and the proposed general business office use (see Attachment C). The total
parking proposed is 53 stalls made up of, five accessible stalls (counted as 10 parking stalls)7,
and 43 standard parking stalls (47 physical parking spaces are proposed).

The project is including new bicycle parking for the site, which does not currently provide any
such parking. The proposed general business office use is required to have three long-term

bicycle parking spaces and two short-term bicycle parking spaces and the project's proposed
bicycle parking is consistent with this requirement. Three new long-term bicycle parking spaces
(lockers) are located on the southwest portion of the front parking lot, with two short-term
parking spaces (one bicycle rack) provided along the right side walkway to the main entrance of
the building (sheet A0.4).

The project is requesting a Director's adjustment to the required 12 ft by 45 ft loading area.
Given the changes to the parking lot, the project is required to provide one loading space due
to the existing building (office use) exceeding 10,000 sf. Given the site's size and potential uses
(office uses), the Director agrees with the applicant’s request for a modified loading area of 10
ft by 30 ft that will accommodate a SU-30 vehicle (typical delivery truck size). The new loading
space area is centered in the front parking lot area closest to the main entrance of the building
(sheet A0.8). The addition of a loading space increases the degree of code compliance where
the existing site plan does not have a compliant loading space.

The reconfiguration of the parking lot, new loading space, and bicycle parking were reviewed by
the Office of Transportation and found to be consistent with the City’s parking facility design
standards. Overall, the proposed changes to the parking lot areas are an improvement to the
site and for circulation.

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. Specifically, the project is exempt from the provisions of
CEQA via a Class 1 exemption, 15301 where projects consist of the operation, repair,
maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private
structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or
no expansion of existing or former use. The project is proposing exterior changes to the existing
building façade, installation of floodproofing materials, and parking facility improvements.

The project has also been reviewed for conformance with the development standards in the
zoning code and found to be in compliance with the intent and regulations contained therein. A
comprehensive review of the project to applicable development standards is included in the
administrative record.

Finding #2: The project has a unified and coherent design, that:
   a. creates an internal sense of order and desirable environment for occupants, visitors,
       and the general community,
   b. preserves, respects and integrates existing natural features that contribute positively
       to the site and the historic character including historic resources of the area when
       relevant,
   c. is consistent with the context-based design criteria of the applicable zone district,
   d. provides harmonious transitions in scale, mass and character to adjacent land uses and
       land use designations,
   e. enhances living conditions on the site (if it includes residential uses) and in adjacent
       residential areas.

The project is consistent with Finding #2 because:

The area is comprised of various commercial offices and research buildings, one to three stories
in height. The project proposes to update the exterior of the building and the existing parking lot
areas improving their function and appearance. The changes are fitting with the existing
character of the office corridor along the subject area of E Bayshore.

Pursuant to PAMC 18.16.090(b), the following context-based design considerations and findings
are applicable to this project. These context-based design criteria are intended to provide
additional standards to be used in the design and evaluation of development in a commercial
district. The purpose is to encourage development in a commercial district to be responsible to
its context and compatibility with adjacent development as well as to promote the establishment
of pedestrian-oriented design.

1. Pedestrian and Bicycle Environment
The design of new projects shall promote pedestrian walkability, a bicycle-friendly environment,
and connectivity through design elements

The finding can be made in the affirmative in that the proposed project offers short-term and
long-term bike parking for visitors and employees. There are existing bike paths along the E
Bayshore Rd corridor that connect bicyclists to the project site and the inclusion of bicycle
parking and the amenity showers/locker room would further promote bicycling as a mode of
travel to the project site.
2. Street Building Facades
Street facades shall be designed to provide a strong relationship with the sidewalk and the
street (s), to create an environment that supports and encourages pedestrian activity through
design elements

                                                                                              Packet Pg. 21
2.b

This finding is not applicable as the E Bayshore Rd corridor is not readily accessed by
pedestrians and due to the lack of continuous sidewalks and remoteness of the site.

3. Massing and Setbacks
Buildings shall be designed to minimize massing and conform to proper setbacks

This finding is not applicable because the project does not involve changes to the site plan
setbacks.

4. Low-Density Residential Transitions
Where new projects are built abutting existing lower scale residential development, care shall
be taken to respect the scale and privacy of neighboring properties

This findings is not applicable as this project involves an existing development and is not
located near low-density residential uses or zones.

5. Project Open Space
Private and public open space shall be provided so that it is usable for the residents and visitors
of the site

The finding can be made in the affirmative in that the project provides a private outdoor
amenity space for employees to gather during breaks.

6. Parking Design
Parking shall be accommodated but shall not be allowed to overwhelm the character of the
project or detract from the pedestrian environment

The finding can be made in the affirmative in that project is proposing a redesign of the existing
parking lot where new trees and landscaping will be installed. This would be an improvement
over the existing parking lot design which has limited greenery and is mainly paved parking lot.

7. Large Multi-Acre Sites
Large sites (over one acre) shall be designed so that street, block, and building patterns are
consistent with those of the surrounding neighborhood

This site is less than an acre and does not include new development. Therefore, this context-
based criteria is not applicable.

8. Sustainability and Green Building Design
Project design and materials to achieve sustainability and green building design should be
incorporated into the project

The finding can be made in the affirmative in that the building will satisfy the requirements for
CALGreen Mandatory + Tier 2 in accordance with the City’s Green Building Regulations.
Additionally, the project includes new EVSE charging stations and new landscaping with

                                                                                                 Packet Pg. 22

shading trees that would reduce the total amount of hardscaping on the site. These changes
to the site would allow for additional water absorption and less vehicle GHG by promoting
Electric Car use. This is demonstrated on the GB sheets in the plan set.

Finding #3: The design is of high aesthetic quality, using high quality, integrated materials, and
appropriate construction techniques, and incorporating textures, colors, and other details that
are compatible with and enhance the surrounding area.

The project is consistent with Finding #3 because:

The project proposes a contemporary style that is includes muted dark colors consistent with the
requirement of the Baylands Design Guidelines. Though the color and materials are different
from the existing development adjacent to the project site, the project has a modern appearance
that is consistent with the office park nature of the E Bayshore Rd corridor. The project uses
materials such as existing concrete paint in nickel, grey, and black. Wood siding colored in a
grey/black finish, and an anodized ash grey aluminum roof screen material. The colors and
proposed textures appear to be well integrated into the design of the existing building and
modernize its dated appearance.

Finding #4: The design is functional, allowing for ease and safety of pedestrian and bicycle
traffic and providing for elements that support the building’s necessary operations (e.g.
convenient vehicle access to property and utilities, appropriate arrangement and amount of
open space and integrated signage, if applicable, etc.).

The project is consistent with Finding #4 because:

The redesign of the parking lot will provide better circulation for visitors to the site by increase
the pedestrian walkways to the entrance of the building and improving the site's bicycle parking
capacity via five new bicycle parking spaces (three lockers, and a bike rack for two parking
spaces).

Finding #5: The landscape design complements and enhances the building design and its
surroundings, is appropriate to the site’s functions, and utilizes to the extent practical, regional
indigenous drought-resistant plant material capable of providing desirable habitat that can be
appropriately maintained.

The project is consistent with Finding #5 because:

The project will provide a variety of drought-tolerant planting. Some of the plantings were
selected from a California native palette. The selected varieties of trees would provide
appropriate habitat for wildlife as a part of a bigger neighborhood and community-wide system.
The proposed trees and landscaping enhance the visual appearance of the site and are more
consistent with modern landscape/parking lot design typical of new development in the City.
Additionally, the new outdoor amenity spaces for employees with planting and decking enhance

                                                                                               Packet Pg. 23

conditions for visitors and employees where the existing development has only parking lot areas
or paved areas for open space.

Finding #6: The project incorporates design principles that achieve sustainability in areas
related to energy efficiency, water conservation, building materials, landscaping, and site
planning.

The project is consistent with Finding #6 because:

In accordance with the City’s Green Building Regulations, the project will satisfy the requirements
for CALGreen Mandatory + Tier 2. This is demonstrated on the GB sheets in the plan set.

                                                                                              Packet Pg. 24

                                             21PLN-000121
PLANNING DIVISION

1. CONFORMANCE WITH PLANS. Construction and development shall conform to the approved plans
   entitled, "2585 E Bayshore RD” stamped as received by the City on July 28, 2021, on file with the
   Planning Department, 250 Hamilton Avenue, Palo Alto, California except as modified by these
   conditions of approval.

2. BUILDING PERMIT. Apply for a building permit and meet any and all conditions of the Planning, Fire,
   Public Works, and Building Departments. A valid Use & Occupancy permit (O&U permit) must be
   applied for and approved for every new tenant prior to occupying the site.

3. BUILDING PERMIT PLAN SET. The ARB approval letter including all Department conditions of approval
   for the project shall be printed on the plans submitted for the building permit.

4. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: All modifications to the approved project shall be submitted for review and
   approval prior to construction. If during the Building Permit review and construction phase, the
   project is modified by the applicant, it is the responsibility of the applicant to contact the Planning
   Division/project planner directly to obtain approval of the project modification. It is the applicant’s
   responsibility to highlight any proposed changes to the project and to bring it to the project planner’s
   attention.

5. PARKING. The project includes design changes to the existing parking lot where the total parking
   spaces proposed is 53 stalls consisting of, five accessible stalls (double counted as 10 parking stalls
   per PAMC 18.52.040(B)(8) Calculation of Required Parking), and 43 standard parking stalls (47 physical
   parking spaces are proposed). Additionally, five new bicycle parking stalls are included in the project
   which consists of three new long-term bicycle parking spaces and two short-term bicycle parking
   spaces. The project must maintain all of the proposed parking spaces for the life of the project.

6. DIRECTOR’S ADJUSTMENT (LOADING SPACE). The proposal includes a request for a Director’s
   adjustment to allow a reduction in the required dimensions for an off-street loading area. The
   adjustment reduced the required loading area to be sized for a SU-30 truck type, as the code required
   load area conflicts with the site design planning and required design guidelines. The SU-30 truck type
   is representative of the truck type that would service the site/use. The proposed parking lot design
   was reviewed for circulation and SU-30 truck access and was found to be sufficient for an off-street
   loading area that does not conflict with vehicle access or circulation. The Director’s adjustment is
   approved and the project shall include the reduced loading area as indicated in the approved plans
   (sheet A0.8)

7. LANDSCAPING. The project shall install new planter islands and landscaping consistent with those
   indicated on the approved plans (sheet L1.0 & L1.1). Any changes to the proposed landscaping must
   be submitted for review and approval by the Current Planning Division of the Planning & Development
   Services Department.

8. AMENITY SPACE. The project includes new amenity space that is exempted from the gross floor area
   ratio (FAR) per PAMC 18.04.030(86)(D). The proposed amenity space includes a new
   fitness/recreation room & new showers/locker rooms that total 765 sf. These amenity spaces must
   be maintained for the life of the project and any changes proposed to these areas must be submitted
   for review and approval by the Current Planning Division of the Planning & Development Services
   Department.

9. PROJECT EXPIRATION. The project approval shall automatically expire after two years from the
   original date of approval if, within such two years, the proposed use of the site or the construction of
   buildings has not commenced pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the permit or
   approval. Application for a one-year extension of this entitlement may be made prior to the
   expiration. (PAMC 18.77.090(a))

    its City Council, its officers, employees, and agents (the “indemnified parties”) from and against any
    claim, action, or proceeding brought by a third party against the indemnified parties and the applicant
    to attack, set aside or void, any permit or approval authorized hereby for the Project, including
    (without limitation) reimbursing the City for its actual attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in defense of
