Past emergency for Palo Alto projects
Recovery after the 2020 wildfire declaration (FEMA DR-4558)
FEMA's declaration records list "Wildfires" (DR-4558) as a major disaster declaration for Santa Clara County. The incident began on August 14, 2020 and ended on September 26, 2020, and the declaration was made on August 22, 2020. This is a county-level record for Palo Alto planning. For a similar fire recovery, discuss how clearing, utility and construction crews would rest between shifts and which hygiene facilities would remain available. A past event does not mean there is a need today.

The record describes it as: The proposed project would involve merging the three existing parcels, demolition of the two existing on-site office buildings and the surface parking lot, and construction of a six-story mixed-use building with two levels of below-grade parking. Proposed uses include 1,984 square feet of office space, 70 residential units, and parking.

For a comparable remote build, confirm how many workers need overnight accommodation before adding hygiene, laundry and meal facilities.

Major renovation for Palo Alto projects
Los Altos Library Courtyard Project
CEQAnet received a Notice of Exemption from Santa Clara County Library District on December 5, 2025, for "Los Altos Library Courtyard Project" in Santa Clara County, near S. San Antonio Road and Edith. The record describes it as: Renovation of an existing outdoor courtyard at the Los Altos Civic Center adjacent to the Los Altos Library to improve space for residents to read, work, and learn. The project includes the replacement of an existing wood pergola with a pre-engineered shade structure within a courtyard protected by secured perimeter fencing. The filing identifies Los Altos as the project location. The exemption filing alone does not establish the current work phase; confirm the schedule with the project owner. Use this as a wider Santa Clara County example when discussing the actual Palo Alto work site. For a comparable renovation, identify the facilities actually taken out of service before selecting temporary support for the workforce.
