Stanford, Fully Mitigate Your Impacts

The Issue

We ask Stanford to “fully mitigate” the impacts of its GUP development on PAUSD schools.

The GUP must not be “detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare” of our students, according to county zoning law. To not detrimentally impact our students’ health, safety and general welfare, “full mitigation” means:

  • Annual per-student payments by Stanford to PAUSD, for each student living in a Stanford-owned property tax-exempt home;
  • A new neighborhood elementary school near the new homes, so the children can walk and bike to school;
  • Funds to build the new school; and
  • Contributions to the PAUSD Safe Routes to School and after-school care at school sites serving Stanford employees’ children.
