Permitting

The City of Palo Alto Planning and Development Services Department reviews and issues permits, with architectural review for commercial work and individual review requirements for many single-family projects.

Housing stock

Eichlers and mid-century houses, Spanish and Craftsman houses near downtown, and a dense commercial corridor of restaurant and retail tenancies.

What decides the schedule

Commercial timelines. Restaurant and retail build-outs run against a lease clock, so permitting, inspections, and health department sign-off drive the schedule.
