The council agreed to explore a planning scenario that would boost the city’s housing stock, though by fewer units than many had hoped for. As part of updating the city’s Comprehensive Plan through 2030, planners have so far evaluated four different scenarios, but in January, council members directed planners to add a fifth, which should address the city’s jobs-housing imbalance. In February, the council decided that scenario should also consider growth patterns that limit jobs, promote sustainable policies, and improve traffic and parking conditions. The council’s task on Monday was to further refine the fifth scenario. Dozens attended the council’s discussion and nearly 20 spoke publicly. Judy Kleinberg, CEO of the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce, urged the city to think about the “silent minority who are critical to the vitality of this community,” including hospitality workers, jani- tors and city employees. After debating for nearly three hours, by a 7-2 vote (with Council- woman Karen Holman and Councilman Greg Schmid dissenting), the council asked staff to consider a scenario that would include more new housing and fewer new jobs than any of the alternatives. Specifically, it would reduce the number of new jobs to 8,868, while also evaluating the impacts of building 6,000 new housing units. The council will continue its discussion of the Comprehensive Plan update on June 6, when it holds a hearing on the draft Environmental Impact Report for the project. — Gennady Sheyner Council nixes planned Hamilton Avenue development A contentious proposal to demolish a three-story office building on Hamilton Avenue and replace it with a mixed-use development with roughly twice the square footage fizzled Monday night after fierce backlash from the surrounding community. Without taking any formal votes, the Palo Alto City Council swiftly struck down a project that a developer was considering for 550 Ham- ilton Ave. Under the proposal by developer C.M. Capital, the current 43,272-square-foot building would be demolished and replaced with a 57,475-square-foot office building. The developer also proposed adding a 57,292-square-foot residential building, with 35 to 50 living units, on the parking lot at the site. The developer also requested changing the zoning designation from “planned community” to “downtown commercial.” Though the proposal remains in a conceptual state, many have objected to the size and density of the proposal, others to the idea of adding more office space. Yet others questioned the wisdom of removing the existing building, which is occupied primarily by mental-health professionals. About 50 opponents attended the Monday hearing, with many of them wearing “Save 550 Hamilton” buttons. While some council members said they were open to more housing, the idea of adding a larger office building to replace an existing one found no traction. Mayor Pat Burt said he was surprised that the applicant even proposed it, given the council’s recent moves to curtail office growth. Councilwoman Liz Kniss summarized the overwhelming sentiment when she said that the proposal “does not have a great deal of legs.” Q — Gennady Sheyner

Selling your Silicon Valley home?

First, contact Michael Repka of DeLeon Realty.

Meet with Michael to discuss any preliminary tax and legal questions about selling your home and let him tell you more about what makes DeLeon Realty’s innovative approach to real estate so successful.

CENTURY’S BEST . . . Four-time Olympic medalist Brenda Villa was named the Pac-12 Player of the Century, as announced this week when the Pac-12 Networks revealed the Pac-12 All-Century Women’s Water Polo roster on ‘Pac- 12 Sports Report’. The Cardinal is well-represented on the all-century list with a conference-best seven players named to the 16-member squad. Stanford’s all-century representatives are: Annika Dries (2010-11, 2013-14), Ellen Estes (1997-98, 2001-02), Jackie Frank (2000-03), Kiley Neushul (2012-15), Melissa Seidemann (2009-11, 2013), Maggie Steffens (2013-15) and Villa (2001-03). The team was voted on by a panel of 24 consisting of coaches, players, administrators and members of the media. There were 51 nominees. Stanford leads all schools with seven players, followed by UCLA (6), USC (2) and California (1).
