Zoning: Medium Density Multiple Family Residence District/General Manufacturing General Plan Land Use Designation: Multiple Family Residential/Light Industrial
Document Description
The proposed project would involve a vesting tentative map to subdivide and merge portions of four parcels into two parcels as well as for a condominium subdivision to create 91 new condominium units on one of the two resulting lots. The proposed townhome project would involve the demolition of the portion of the existing commercial building at 200 Portage and the commercial building at 3040 Park within the area of development and construction of 91 new residential units within 16 three-story buildings. The building designs would feature a contemporary design, with flat roofs, large rectangular windows, wood paneling, and painted stucco. Access to the proposed residential units and garages would be available from newly constructed drive aisles between the buildings, which would be accessed from a new driveway at Park Boulevard. The project would include a total of 182 parking spaces in garages and additional surface spaces near the southern portion of the site. The project site contains one commercial building constructed in 1918. Known as the Bayside Canning Company (later occupied by Fry’s Electronics store, Research and Development, and warehouse uses), the two-story cannery was previously recommended eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources for its association with Palo Alto’s early agricultural history. Because the project involves partial demolition of an eligible historic resource, an EIR is being prepared.
