PUBLIC HEARINGS/GENERAL BUSINESS  
Discussion and Possible Recommendation of One Council Priority  
Project Idea to the City Council  
2.  
25-1068  
Planning Officer Shaunn Mendrin provided a brief overview of the process by which  
the Planning Commission will recommend one Council Priority Project (CPP) idea to  
the City Council for consideration.  
Commissioner Pyne confirmed with Planning Officer Mendrin that each  
Councilmember may propose up to three CPPs per year.  
Vice Chair Shukla shared her thoughts on possible CPP ideas, one of which the  
Planning Commission may choose to recommend to the City Council.  
Commissioner Davis suggested that the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory  
Commission (BPAC) advise and provide guidance on transportation modes beyond  
biking and walking by overseeing matters related to automobiles, sidewalks, and  
walkways while ensuring accessibility for all users.  
Commissioner Serrone presented the CPP idea that he and Commissioner Figone  
collaborated on. He discussed the ways this CPP idea would explore a universal  
housing design to accommodate a larger group of residents, particularly those with  
mobility limitations.  
In response to Commissioner Davis’ proposal, Commissioner Serrone stated that  
the City of Palo Alto has a Planning and Transportation Commission. Commissioner  
Serrone agreed that since our City’s BPAC focuses primarily on bicyclists and  
pedestrians, our current approach overlooks matters involving other modes of  
transportation.  
Vice Chair Shukla suggested exploring ways to streamline the Accessory Dwelling  
Unit (ADU) construction process to increase the City’s housing supply.  
Commissioner Pyne confirmed with Planning Officer Mendrin that staff are already  
working on study issues pertaining to minimum parking requirements for residential  
uses (including single-family homes) and park dedication fees. For this reason, he  
advised the Planning Commission to recommend alternative CPP ideas to the City  
Council.  
Commissioner Davis and Chair Iglesias spoke in support of the CPP idea presented  
by Commissioner Serrone.  
Commissioner Pyne shared his observation that Commissioners including himself  
are in favor of the CPP idea presented by Commissioner Serrone, so a motion could  
be made in support of it.  
Chair Iglesias opened the Public Hearing.  
There were no public speakers for this agenda item.  
Chair Iglesias closed the Public Hearing.  
MOTION: Commissioner Davis moved, and Commissioner Pyne seconded the  
motion to recommend that the City Council consider a Council Priority Project that  
explores universal design housing for the City’s residential developments as  
presented by Commissioner Serrone.  
Commissioner Davis urged his fellow Commissioners to vote in favor of this CPP  
idea.  
Commissioner Pyne voiced his support for the motion and shared his thoughts on  
other CPP ideas that were proposed.  
Vice Chair Shukla expressed her support for the motion.  
Chair Iglesias noted that there is value in streamlining the ADU construction  
process. He also shared his support of the proposed CPP idea that Commissioner  
Serrone and Commissioner Figone collaborated on and commented that it is an  
insightful and thoughtful recommendation.  
The motion carried by the following vote:  
Yes: 5 -  
Chair Iglesias  
Vice Chair Shukla  
Commissioner Davis  
Commissioner Pyne  
Commissioner Serrone  
No: 0  
Absent: 2 -
