Document Description
The proposed project involves adoption of the Cubberley Conceptual Master Plan (“Master Plan”). The Master Plan would provide a programmatic framework for the 15-acre Plan Area that envisions a combination of renovation, demolition, and new construction to support a range of community-oriented spaces and amenities for the Cubberley Community Center. The Master Plan aims to redevelop the site with a mix of community-serving uses, including recreation and wellness facilities, performing and visual arts spaces, education and enrichment areas, community services space, and indoor and outdoor gathering areas. The project would include renovation of approximately 35,000 square feet of existing buildings, demolition of approximately 147,000 square feet of existing buildings, and construction of approximately 249,000 square feet of new buildings. Parking at full buildout would include 528 on-site spaces supplemented by 323 leased spaces from Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD), provided through a combination of surface and structured parking. The City is also considering amending the 2030 Comprehensive Plan to change the Master Plan Area land use designation from School District Land to Major Institution/Special Facilities as part of plan implementation.
