Dear Historic Resources Board, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express our request concerning the consideration of our property, 1965 Cowper Street, for historical designation. While we deeply value the rich cultural and historical heritage of our community, we have carefully evaluated the implications of having our home designated as a historical property. After thoughtful consideration and discussion within our family, we have concluded that we prefer not to have our property considered for historical status. We hold immense respect for the heritage and history of our locality, and we recognize the importance of preserving significant historical landmarks. However, after careful contemplation, we firmly believe that our property should not fall under the designation of a historical site. We kindly request that our property, 1965 Cowper Street, not be considered for historical designation. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Should you require any further information or documentation to process our request, please do not hesitate to contact us at 415.902.3372 or via email at hdwivedi@gmail.com.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Julie Lythcott-Haims, Councilwoman former attorney and Stanford University Dean, and California Congressional Candidate 2024 Vicki Veenker, Councilwoman attorney, and Liaison to Lytton Gardens Senior CommunitiesCity of Palo Alto Dear Vicky and Julie, Pursuant to California Public Records Act (CPRA) (Govt. Code § 6250 et seq.), I request release of any and all documents, including notes, emails, and other records andcorrespondence regarding relationships between Lytton Gardens Senior Communities and my City government. including the City of Palo Alto's duties and responsibilities as Liaison todowntown's Lytton Gardens Senior Communities, a HUD-funded facility. Absent some legitimate reason for delay provided in the government code, make sure that I receive therequested documents within ten (10) days of this CPRA Request. Send all correspondence via my email to dmPaloAlto@gmail.com. Thank you. Statutory Law in support of my CPRA request: The California Legislature in 1968, recognizing that “ access to information concerning the conduct of the people’s business is a fundamental and necessary right of every person in this state,” enacted the California Public Records Act. The act grants access to public records held by state and local agencies. The purpose of the Act is to give the public access to information that enables them to monitor the functioning of their government. In 2004, California voters passed an initiative measure that added to the state Constitution a provision directing the courts to broadly construe statutes that grant public access to government information and narrowly construed statutes that limit access. (See California Article I, Section 3). In order to assist you both in fulfilling your responsibilities to forward my requesteddocuments, I'm copying this email to our City Manager Ed Shikada, City Attorney Molly Stump who approves all CPRA requests, and I am making a formal CPRA request. I hopeyou can forward my requested documents on your own. Dear Vicki, Again, thank you for caring about Palo Alto seniors and your research efforts to uncover the duties and responsibilities of our City's Liaison to Lytton Gardens SeniorCommunities (LG), a HUD-subsidized facility. Re your latest email, you wrote the following. "I have clarified that my role as liaison is to liaise on behalf of the City with theowners/management of Lytton Gardens with respect to regulatory and otheragreements between the two. For example, as the donor of land for thecommunity, a primary interest of the City is in maintaining the affordability of the units." Bravo! You have uncovered documents for which I have spent years searching andhave formally requested in the past from our City, without success. Well done! I can hardly wait to review them .. Obtaining and reviewing these documents is crucial to my thorough understanding of myCity's formal legal position, assisting LG residents when regulatory and other agreements between LG and Palo Alto are broken by Lytton Gardens. I am grateful to find vulnerablePalo Alto seniors have our City's protection to stop the years of tyranny from lawless Lytton Gardens landlords who behave as if we live in a Chinese dictatorship where elderly residentsare treated as prisoners without rights. Lytton Gardens abuses the elderly with financial and property theft, physical and emotional maltreatment, and non-compliance with health andsafety laws. One way to stop abuse is to make it public. Society is measured by how it treats its most vulnerable, which includes seniors.

Learn why this isimportant Peter, your job is to have a complete NOV report which you currently do not have. This is your job. You cannot just ignore what you like or you do not like from the redwood roots and findings/FACTS and be biased and discriminate. I called you to do the site observations after I completed the additional root trenching (you should have asked me to do this trenching discovery during plan check review) and you came, took pictures and did what with those pictures? Ignore them. Due to the location of the JADU redwood tree TPZ could not be placed at 10X37"(diameter) which will be 31 ft from the redwood tree is your standard and that is where those roots are running into JADU approved foundation channel and you have no record on your NOV of the roots at 31 ft from the redwood tree trunk. Furthermore 31 ft from the redwood tree the redwood tree roots turn toward the Existing foundation of the house and that has been ignored. You created an incomplete and misleading NOV public record. Your report has incomplete factual findings from the job site because you made up your mind, ignoring all the FACTS and discriminating against me. Regardless of whatever conclusion you draw, this is a Public Record that does not capture all the FACTS and states only the facts that you want. You're just discriminating against me now. I will not tolerate it. I am requesting the City of Palo Alto to initiate a full review of the 3880 El Centro NOV report by a different city arborist and request the removal of Peter Gollinger and Uriel Hernandez from my project effective immediately. Going forward, Uriel Hernandez nor Peter Gollinger have no permission to enter my property, period. It will be considered trespassing. I never had those issues when Dave Docktor was in charge. Attached is the arborist report that points out to what Peter completely ignored in Pages 3,4 and 7 that points that the redwood roots run into Existing foundation but you ignored it so you can make the case for us to replace it with twelve 24-box trees. Attached is the Structural Engineer report that points out that the redwood tree roots run into the existing foundation Attached are the facts backed by witness declaration (My GC and my arborist present on site on 11/14/23) on Uriel Hernandez unprofessional behavior that do not represent City of PA values and I will not tolerate it.

There is no change to theNOV regarding your post NOV trenching and discovery of roots near existing foundationoutside of the tree TPZ. Those roots do not impact the violations included in the citation. Asthe roots in the excavation for the JADU were cut without permission, the amount of rootarea impacted by the damage was greater than 25% of the TPZ, and the damage doneimpacted the ability of the tree to safely remain, the damage itself is therefore classified asan illegal removal under PAMC. Discovery of additional roots under the foundation outsideof the tree’s TPZ do not change that fact and are therefore not included in the updated NOV. The original citation (#07894) has been voided as discussed during our meeting withChantal. However, the new citations, one for the damage to the redwood tree and one forfencing violations, will remain issued to yourself and not your 572 Chimalus company asrequested. When Urban Forestry issues citations outside of development, we address thecitation to the owner on record, when the citation is associated with an active project, weaddress the citation to the permit holder. This is our standard practice in Urban Forestry.This practice was also confirmed as the correct standard practice for tree violations by codeenforcement. The citations will be dated today, 12/21/23, and you will have the standardwindow for filing an appeal/request for hearing starting from today’s date. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or need me to reach out to anotherdepartment for follow up on any outstanding issues.

Technically, this shouldbe 4 as you agreed to plant +1 more than was required (see email sent by you on 4/25/23), however, that was overlooked during permit issuance, so I don’t feel it’s appropriate tohold you to that at this point. 1 removed redwood due to unauthorized damage, 23TRE-00157: 12 – 24 inch box treesper PAMC 8.10.110(a)(2) That makes a total of 18 required mitigation trees. While I understand that you wish to appeal the required mitigation for the redwood, that still leaves 6 trees that are notcontested, of which you only have 3 accounted for on your most recent plan submission. I think it’s likely that there is room for more but we can discuss that when we review yourplanting plan in your re-submission. Citations: We have spilt the citations, one for damage to the redwood, and one for fencing violations as discussed. I’m revising the Notice of violation to reflect this, and itshould be sent out to you today or tomorrow at the latest. Mitigation trees appeal to PTC: I reached out to planning to unsure they follow up with you regarding fees and deadlines for material submissions. I believe your appeal is on theagenda for the 1/31/24 meeting date. As mentioned in previous emails, we were initially mistaken about a director’s hearing being part of the process. This is the first time usingthe appeal process associated with a tree permit as part of a development project and per PAMC, it goes directly to PTC. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

For reference, Uriel’s full comments are listed below: Uriel's plan check comments for 23REV-00749 cycle 1: 1. Please include location of mitigation trees associated with the removal of the redwood tree. The exact number of mitigation trees for the redwood may still bepending, so the mitigation trees may be labelled as tentative, and the exact number finalized at a later date.2. Existing redwood is no longer to be preserved, per approved removal permit 23TRE-00157. Please update plan reflect this. Typically, when a project has required mitigation plantings, the landscape plan willindicate how many of the required trees can be planted on site. The project will then request that the remaining trees be resolved through payment of in-lieu fees for anytrees that will not fit on site. Uriel’s comment is asking for the project to propose how many of the required mitigation trees will be able to be planted on site.

We will also mention on the statement that the planting 23 TRE-00157 is under appeal with PTC to be scheduled in Jan 2024 and if not handled by PTC will be handled by the court. This is what we will place on the plans on A100 in large letters and in Bold so will be clear to all. There is no place anywhere in the lot to place 12 24 box trees and you should of known that by now with existing hardscape, Timlott Ln planting and 35 ft corner triangle restriction there is no way you can fit 12 24 box trees and we have no intention to place something in the plans that will be challenged at the city/PTC and in court.

Dear City Council Members,Over the years I have contacted Caltrans about the trash on 101 and other Californiahighways. Many years ago I was told there was no money but there have been years of budget surpluses. However, it seems Caltrans would rather keep building highways without cleaning them up. Our many visitors to Palo Alto alwayscomment on the trash on California highways. The exit and entrance ramps from 101 leading to Embarcadero Rd are always littered with trash.......not a great look for Palo Alto! Is there nothing that PA Citycan do to work with Caltrans to keep the ramps clean? I'm sure some of you musthave seen the piles of trash lining the south exit to Embarcadero road recently. If not, I suggest you take a look and see how uninviting the entrance to Palo Alto is. Thanks for all your work for Palo Alto.

For example, an incident with my son after hearing a student asks another student for a pass on the in the N-word, my son told that student he cannot say that, and that studentgot in my son’s face and called him the N-word three times. These issues are wide-spread amongst our students, systemic and not being handled to our satisfaction by the district. Our kids feel disrespected, unheard, and unsafe. There are clear toxic behaviors and hate speech language taking place in our community, thatdo not represent the inclusive environment we are working to achieve. This toxic behavior leads to physical violence, like mass shootings and emotional trauma, viasocial media trends. The Palo Alto school board issued a 2019 resolution to denounce racism. We have not witnessed this commitment yet.We have spoken to the district on multiple occasions, and while we always have verbal commitment we see again, and again incidences happening with no repercussions. We wantthe city and public officials to hold the Palo Alto school district accountable for what’s happening. We have a list of families of color that expect the Palo Alto school district to takeaccountability and to treat all children as equals. And we are hoping Julie Lyncott Haims will respond. Thank you for your time.

I was not able to deliver my full statement so I am emailing it to you all with the hopes youwill dig deeper and ask questions as our families are suffering. City Council Member's my name is Lakeshia Phillips-Marshall and I have a 1st and 4th grader in the district. I wanted to bring your attention a matter of utmost urgency concerning the discrimination andbias that persist in the Palo Alto Unified School District. Despite our efforts to raise awareness and seek resolution, the voices of our children and other families in PAUSD continue to gounheard. One of the distressing incidents that prompted me to reach out to you involves the asking of N-word passes by students to our Black children. These incidents, along with others, havebeen reported to the district and school personnel on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, the responses thus far have not conveyed the seriousness of the issue or led to tangible actions toaddress and prevent such occurrences. What is particularly disheartening is that these incidents are not isolated; they are representative of a larger pattern of discrimination that our children face daily. For instance,my 6-year-old was recently told during a game of soccer that he could not play because he was "too Black." Such experiences not only impact our children emotionally and psychologicallybut also create an unsafe and unwelcoming learning environment for all students. I want to emphasize that I am not writing this out of frustration alone but out of a genuine concern for the well-being of our children and the need for immediate and decisive action.Discrimination and bias have no place in our educational institutions, and it is disheartening to see our children endure such experiences. I kindly request that the City Council intervenes and uses its influence to address this matterwith the urgency and seriousness it deserves. I understand the City Council may not have direct authority over the school district, but your support can play a crucial role in encouragingcollaboration and pushing for the necessary changes to ensure a safe and inclusive educational environment for all students. Thank you.

Councilmembers Previously we had submitted the attached letter to the City Council in consideration of zoningamendments to support housing of 4 properties on El Camino Real, for which the Creekside Inn is included. As City Council revisits this item at the request of one of the property owners,and indicated in the Staff Report, we would submit the same requests for consideration for increased height and setback flexibility in the transition zone, which is unique to this propertyamong the 4 in the area plan. As it relates to the requests of Acclaim, we would concur with their first request regarding a 59' height at which a building should setback rather than 55'. This provides both efficiency andusability between lower level floor plates . We have analyzed the other 2 requested items from Acclaim and do not find those applicable to the Creekside property, as the creek greatly limits potential FAR and also makes 250'modulation features not necessary. We are also continuing to analyze the Area Focus Plan and its feasibility to provide for an actionable project. At this time we can not conclude or indicate if a formal application underthis criteria would be submitted. Thank You Ted O'Hanlon --- Ted O'Hanlontedohanlon@gmail.com 415.317.5070 mobile/text CA DRE #01868277 Page 1 Explore Real Estate CA BRE # 01478789 2625 Middlefield Rd, #101 Palo Alto, CA 94306 November 12, 2023 City Council City of Palo Alto 250 Hamilton Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94301 Subject: El Camino Real Focus Area Plan and 3400 El Camino Real (Creekside Inn property) Dear Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: On behalf of SF Creekside, LLC, an Oxford Capital Group-led joint venture that owns and operates the Creekside Inn (Creekside) property we are taking this opportunity to share observations regarding potential constraints to redevelopment and creating housing on the property. Background Presently the Creekside Inn property contains 11 buildings with 136 hotel rooms with ancillary event, operations and conference space with 2 retail dining venues on approximately 3.6-acres at 3400 El Camino Real. In 2022, a “pre-application” to redevelop the property with 382 residential units was submitted and considered by Planning Staff and City Council. See Figure 2. In June 2023, another preliminary application was submitted utilizing the “Builder’s Remedy” tool that proposed a mixed use that would continue the hotel presence as suggested by City Council in 2022, while retaining several existing buildings. The plan would create 185 new residential units in two new buildings, a cluster of 4 townhome units would replace an existing operations structure adjacent to Matadero Avenue. The renovation of 3 existing hotel buildings with 63 rooms and a new hotel building with another 137 guest rooms, would total 200 guest rooms on the property. See Figure 3. ECR Focus Area Plan & 3400 ECR Page 2 of 6 Area Focus Plan Recently the City of Palo Alto has studied an Area Focus Plan to promote housing projects on El Camino Real that included the Creekside property. The focus plan suggests significant increases in development standards, most notably in building heights of up to 85 feet and a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of up to 4.0. However in comparison to other properties in the focus area, there are 2 characteristics that significantly limit Creekside: 1) Matadero Creek, and 2) the property relationship to R-1 zoning, that result in challenges in achieving an FAR of even 2.5 let alone 4.0. Thus, while being included in the Focus Area with the intent to motivate a project that includes a significant number of housing units, by further curtailing the property area and/or heights where FAR can be placed, this can also yield no project at all. Recently the Planning and Transportation Commission (PTC) reviewed the Focus Area and recommended several items that would significantly constrain a potential project. Riparian Setbacks We understand and are mindful that Matadero Creek is a valuable and sensitive area. At the commencement of ownership’s consideration to redevelop the site, WRA Environmental Consultants were retained to study the area to better understand its constraints and opportunities. In doing so, we have understood that a 20 foot setback from the top of the bank is reasonable and supportable given existing conditions and guidelines. As it is today, there are existing buildings encroaching in this area and at the El Camino Real frontage of the property where Matadero Creek transitions to a culvert and is covered by a parking lot (see Figure 1 herein, areas highlighted in red). At the same time, WRA identified several opportunities to enhance Matadero Creek including native habitat restoration (currently dominated by non-native flora) and providing public recreation access. Further, a redevelopment would alleviate several of the existing encroachments as owner planning has been attentive to enhancing and respecting this setback area and as such would further enhance the area adjacent to the creek. Property Setbacks The property’s existing zoning adjacent to the R-1 neighbors is multi-family with a required 10 foot setback. As Figure 1 illustrates, highlighted in blue, 2 existing buildings are already closer to the property line or at this setback measure. An increase in the rear setback to 20 feet, as suggested by PTC, would eliminate the opportunity for housing units in the rear of the site along Matadero Avenue that most recently proposed 4 attached townhomes. Also, in the 2 previous owner proposals from 2022 and 2023, particularly the other corner of the property, a significant setback has been proposed that would be greater than the 20 feet that PTC recently recommended as part of the Focus Area. ECR Focus Area Plan & 3400 ECR Page 3 of 6 As the Planning Staff and ordinance text note, Planning and Transportation Commissioner Hechtman dissented on the extension of 10 foot setbacks to 20 feet. This was based on the observation that the current setbacks of 10 feet are indicative of the existing zoning that has been in place and it would be reasonable to remain without the need for further setback extensions. So for these 2 setback matters, any extensions of the rear property or to riparian setbacks beyond current standards greatly diminishes housing potential and would likely preclude the pursuit of a project in not meeting initial feasibility requirements. Building Height Limits from R-1 Zone Current zoning standards require a 35 foot height limit 150 feet from the adjacent property line. The Focus Area initially, and specifically for the Creekside property, suggested modifications to this setback area that might allow for greater heights starting 75 feet from the property line, such that the first 75 feet maintain the 35 foot height limit, but the next 75 feet provide a transition for greater building height, particularly for the proposed 85 foot height allowances on El Camino Real. As the Focus Area has progressed through review, PTC is recommending that the first 100 feet maintain the 35 foot height restriction. Similar to Matadero Creek’s current and future environmental condition, there is understanding of the sensitivity to building height and the adjacent R-1 neighborhood. However when considering this criteria, and the opportunity for housing it might contain, we would caution to defining the area in advance of a collaborative effort to refine what is a feasible, actionable and supportable for this specific area.
